《While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move》 Chapter 1: Chapter 1 I Bound a Cultivation Simulator Great Xia Country, Kyoto.The top institution, Kyoto Polytechnic, a male student dormitory. [Ding~] An abrupt sound appeared in Su Xing''s mind. As Su Xing was packing his equipment, preparing to enter the instance dungeon to farm gold, he froze. "Who''s there? Who''s playing tricks on me?" Su Xing looked around the empty dormitory, but didn''t find anything. Then, a series of voices rang in his mind. [Binding to Life Simulator] [Binding successful!] [Host: Su Xing] [Age: 21 Years Old] [Occupation: Cultivator] [Simulation Count: 1] [Energy: 100] [Introduction: The Life Simulator will simulate your future completely based on your development trajectory in the real world. After the simulation, you can obtain some rewards. Each simulation will consume a certain amount of energy. Simulation counts refresh once a week.] Su Xing rubbed his eyes, incredulously looking at the virtual panel before him. Immediately after, two lines of text appeared on the panel. [Would you like to start the simulation?] [Yes][No] Looking at the panel before him, Su Xing''s eyes suddenly reddened. "Three years! Do you have any idea how I''ve lived these past three years?" "Damn, and here I thought I, as a transmigrator, had no golden finger!" That''s right, Su Xing was a transmigrator who had crossed over to this wondrous world three years ago. Unlike Earth in his previous life, in this world games merged with reality. Demonic beasts, secret instance dungeons, items and equipment, were emerging endlessly... Even more magical, at the age of eighteen, one could switch to a professional occupation, gaining experience by slaying dungeon monsters, thereby getting stronger. Three years ago, upon arriving in this world, Su Xing awakened the one and only hidden occupation, Cultivator! This news caused a sensation throughout Kyoto, and Su Xing was directly recruited into one of the national top institutions, Kyoto Polytechnic! Initially, Su Xing''s performance was indeed outstanding, rapidly standing out among a group of freshmen due to the powerful physical quality of a Cultivator. But soon, Su Xing encountered a critical problem, he could not level up! Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Other professionals could gain experience points as rewards after killing instance dungeon monsters. No matter how hard Su Xing tried, he could not gain even a bit of experience points no matter how many monsters he killed and how he tried to level up. And so, three years passed. Now in his senior year, his classmates had grown from Bronze Level to Silver Level, Gold Level, or even higher... And him? He was still that small Qi Refining Stage One Cultivator. But Su Xing refused to give in, persistently searching for a way to level up himself, and finally made some progress. That was Body Refinement! If he could not refine Qi, then he would train his body! Thus, Su Xing relentlessly farmed instance dungeons for equipment to sell for money, even taking freshmen to the dungeons for leveling up. He then used the money earned to purchase Instance Dungeon Items that could enhance his physique. Finally, after three full years, he went from Body Refining Stage One to Body Refining Stage Six. Body Refinement Stage Six, with a strength reaching thousands of catties, sounded quite fierce. But his actual combat power was not even comparable to a Bronze Level 30 strength-based professional. Yet Su Xing did not give up and continued to farm gold in instance dungeons and take on leveling commissions, constantly tempering his physique. Scenes from the past flashed before his eyes, and at this moment, Su Xing with an excited heart and trembling hands, silently said: "Start the simulation!" [100 points of energy consumed, no remaining simulation counts.] [Simulation begins!] [This time, talent extraction is free, randomly extracting talent...] [Ding, congratulations! You''ve acquired a white talent, Spiritual Root holder!] [Spiritual Root Holder]: A white talent. Your roots are different from ordinary people, allowing you to embark on the path of immortality. Su Xing was stunned when he saw this talent. Could it be that he had been unable to cultivate these years because he had the profession but lacked a Spiritual Root, thus unable to advance his Qi Refining level? Su Xing suppressed the doubts in his heart and chose to continue the simulation. [Inside the dorm, you''ve awakened a golden finger, and you''re very happy.] [That afternoon, several junior sisters from your first year invite you to go to an instance dungeon with them for leveling up, and you gladly agree.] [You perform heroically in the bronze-level instance dungeon, and after clearing it, you obtain several white items and a reward of ten thousand yuan.] [One of the junior sisters, embarrassed due to being short on funds, suggests paying in other (ruta) ways.] [You look at your junior sister''s face and agree.] [The next day, you start cultivation feeling refreshed, but you have no idea where to begin.] [You start searching online for Qi Refinement techniques and stumble upon a world-shocking cultivation technique called "Pangu Breaks the Heavens Decree"!] [Overjoyed, you begin to cultivate.] [After a day of cultivation, your Cultivation Level hasn''t improved, and you almost cultivated astray.] [Undeterred, you continue to cultivate day and night.] [A month later, your Qi Refining Cultivation remains at the first level.] [You realize that the cultivation techniques on the internet are all scams!] [So you start spending a fortune to acquire cultivation techniques, only to end up with cheap goods from some treasure site, all under ten yuan with free shipping.] [With no other choice, you continue to work on Body Refinement.] Su Xing''s heart sank to see this. Without cultivation techniques, how could he possibly continue to cultivate? Su Xing sighed and continued the simulation. [You don''t give up, constantly working on Body Refinement while seeking information on cultivation techniques.] [In your spare time, you often take your first-year junior sisters for leveling up, earning money while also getting plenty of close contact.] [But all good things come to an end. Half a year has passed, and that first-year junior sister has broken through to become a Silver Level practitioner and cuts off contact with you.] [On a calm afternoon with the wind rather noisy, you find her.] [You ask her, "I thought with our friendship, we could talk about feelings." But she tells you, "That was just business."] [Your pride is wounded, and you turn your frustration into strength, dedicating yourself to cultivation for half a year until your Body Refinement finally breaks through to the seventh layer.] [As graduation nears, your classmates of the same year have all become famous practitioners, but you lack the power to graduate.] [You get held back a year, but you''re secretly pleased because a new batch of junior sisters has enrolled, and you continue to take them for leveling up.] [Gradually, you become famous. All the new students know there''s a fourth-year senior who got held back, who excels at taking new students through instance dungeons.] [You make a fortune, amassing assets worth tens of millions within three years!] Su Xing touched his chin and murmured, "If I could just keep getting held back like this, it wouldn''t be so bad! At least there would always be fresh junior sisters..." But then Su Xing''s expression changed. [You originally thought life would simply continue on this even keel.] [Unfortunately, because you failed to graduate for five consecutive years, you were expelled.] [After being expelled, you lose your biggest source of income, and due to your low power, you can only linger in bronze-level instance dungeons year-round.] [After much reflection, you decide to dedicate yourself to training your physique.] [It takes you two years and all your savings, but you finally advance to the eighth layer of Body Refinement.] Su Xing felt mixed emotions upon reading this; he hadn''t realized that Body Refinement could be so challenging. He had spent three years to advance from the first to the sixth layer, but his future self had taken a whole seven years to go from the sixth to the eighth layer. Su Xing patiently read on. [Penniless, you have no choice but to go back to your old job, making a living by farming in instance dungeons.] [Still sharp despite the years, you at the eighth layer of Body Refinement become an invincible force in the bronze-level instance dungeons, saving another ten million in assets.] [One day, your parents tell you that your sister, Su Nianan, has died...] Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Talent, Your Spiritual Root is Different from Ordinary People Seeing this, Su Xing was stunned.Su Nianan was his sister, and they had grown up together like two peas in a pod. How could she have suddenly died? Filled with confusion, Su Xing continued to read. [Your parents told you that Su Nianan died during a dungeon leveling session.] [You were overwhelmed with grief, spending your days drowning your sorrows in alcohol, living in a drunken stupor.] [Your good brother Yu Yan found you, and he felt regret for the death of your sister.] [He comforted you, and you walked out from the depths of your sorrow.] [He gave you a large sum of money, which you invested in a professional equipment store.] [You quickly made a fortune and became a somewhat famous second-hand equipment dealer in Kyoto.] [Three years later, another piece of terrible news came; your good brother Yu Yan had died too.] Su Xing fell silent after reading this. Yu Yan was his college roommate and his best brother in college. Furthermore, Yu Yan was a hidden professional, considered a genius in the whole of Kyoto Universityhow could he have just died like that? [You attended Yu Yan''s funeral.] [At the funeral, you learned that Yu Yan died in a dungeon.] [From your classmates, you found out that many of your peers from those years had died in dungeons too.] [You were shocked, what kind of dungeons were they that hundreds of powerful professionals died in them?] [But they weren''t willing to reveal more.] [A sense of crisis like never before erupted in your heart, and you decided to dedicate yourself to training.] [You spent a year and managed to reach the ninth level of Body Refinement.] [You continued to train, but your Cultivation Level could not progress any further.] [Out of helplessness, you shifted your focus back to business.] [During an unexpected market fluctuation, the price of healing potion-like tools skyrocketed, but your equipment was ignored.] [You went bankrupt, and by then, you were thirty-two years old and no longer had the grand aspirations of your youth.] [You took your thirty million in savings and prepared to retire to the countryside.] [Four years later, you became a well-known wealthy person in the village.] [Seeing that you were single, the village matchmaker wanted to introduce you to Ru Hua from the village head''s family.] [You took a look at Ru Hua''s face and politely refused.] [You thought life would just quietly continue on like this.] [One day, while you were enjoying the cool in the courtyard, you looked up to see a colossal beast obscuring the sky.] [In a trance, you saw several golden figures flying into the sky, attacking the giant beast.] [The beast opened its mouth and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country.] [You died, at the age of thirty-six!] [This simulation has ended!] [Your first-time simulation reward is free to claim. You can choose one of the following rewards: Spiritual Root Holder (Talent), Body Refinement Level Nine (Cultivation Level).] Looking at the simulation results before him, Su Xing fell into deep thought. Fifteen years later, fearsomely powerful Demonic Beasts were descending upon the real world, directly swallowing the entire Great Xia Country! Such powerful Demonic Beasts were unheard of by Su Xing. Perhaps the entire Human Race didn''t have any professionals who could resist them right now. Thinking this, Su Xing let out a wry smile: "So it turns out that the apocalypse is coming in fifteen years... Sigh, who would have thought that after resisting for over a thousand years, the Human Race would still be exterminated by the Demon Race." Su Xing sighed but then shook his head. "What will happen in fifteen years, who can know... It''s still the things at hand that matter!" Su Xing looked at the two rewards he could choose, torn. The Spiritual Root Holder Talent or Body Refinement Level Nine Cultivation Level - which one should he choose? After some hesitation, Su Xing made up his mind and said: "I choose the Spiritual Root Holder!" At the same time, an imperceptible change seemed to occur in Su Xing''s body, and his senses became sharper. "So this is what it feels like to possess a Spiritual Root?" All of a sudden, Su Xing noticed something and stealthily glanced down. Hiss~ ``` Who would have thought being different could bring such good fortune? Su Xing''s heart filled with joy. The reason he chose the Spiritual Root was naturally because this talent was acquired randomly, and he still thirsted for the path of cultivation, so he definitely couldn''t pass up such a gift. As for the Body Refinement ninth level cultivation, although it would be not bad for the current Su Xing, if he continued to use the simulator and retrain, reaching the ninth level of Body Refinement wouldn''t be difficult. After choosing his talent, Su Xing wanted to continue simulating but received a prompt from the system. [Ding, this simulation consumed 200 points of energy. Current simulation energy is 0, cooldown time for simulation in progress. Please recharge energy and simulate again in one week.] Only then did Su Xing remember that each simulation required energy and there was also a week''s cooldown period. The cooldown period was easy to deal with; he just had to wait a week. But how to obtain energy? [Ding, this simulator can absorb all matter containing energy and convert it into simulation energy!] After hearing this, a thought struck Su Xing, and he quickly rummaged out over a dozen pieces of white equipment. "Absorb!" [Detected white equipment, Sharp Dagger, absorption successful, 5 points of energy obtained.] [Detected white equipment, Little Princess''s Gauntlets, absorption successful, 8 points of energy obtained.] [Detected white equipment...] [...] [Simulator remaining energy: 103 points.] After receiving the prompt, Su Xing''s face darkened. Over a dozen white equipment pieces, with some providing up to 9 points of energy, but some even as low as 2 points. They only recovered the simulator''s energy to 103 points, which was nearly half short of the required 200! "Damn it, even a piece of white equipment costs at least 1000 Great Xia Coins, and just like that, I''ve spent tens of thousands?" Su Xing felt a pang of loss but still took out more than a dozen more pieces of equipment, recharging the energy to 205 points. "Sigh, I''ve almost spent all the equipment I''ve collected over these three years, and if I recharge again, I might have to spend real money!" Su Xing sighed. Fortunately, he had been running dungeons and gold farming for money frequently over the last three years and had over a million in savings. "Better stock up on more white equipment and convert it to energy!" Su Xing took out his phone, spending several hours. He bought hundreds of pieces of white equipment on a professional traders'' online platform and converted them all into energy. [Simulator remaining energy: 713 points.] Looking at the energy displayed in the simulator, Su Xing felt a wave of satisfaction. "Now I just have to wait a week!" Knock, knock, knock! Just then, a plump figure walked into the dormitory. "Old Su, there are six first-year girls waiting for you outside the dorm... One of them is a real looker! Heh heh, you sure play the field, kiddo!" The speaker was none other than Yu Yan, known as Fatty Yu, a fire Mage of a hidden occupation, a Blazing Mage! Su Xing knew that it was the underclassmen who had come looking for him to help them level up in the dungeons, so he gave Fatty Yu a complicated look. "Got it, they''re here for me to lead them through a dungeon run. I''ll be back in the evening, remember to save me some food!" Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing patted Fatty Yu''s shoulder and left the dormitory. At the dormitory entrance, Su Xing saw six freshmen girls dressed to the nines. Su Xing spoke directly: "You know the rules, right? The next dungeon run will cost each of you 2000 Great Xia Coins, and any loot we acquire is mine!" The girls nodded one after another, but one girl with delicate features and a simple outfit seemed hesitant. Noting this, Su Xing was intrigued but did not press the issue, instead saying: "Then follow me!" Soon, the group arrived at a dungeon known as "Ten Mile Slope" on the outskirts of the city. The dungeon was known for continuously spawning a type of Demonic Beast called "Wild Boar Spirits." With levels ranging from Bronze 5 to 10, it offered decent experience for newly class-changed professionals, though it wasn''t without difficulty. But for a sixth level Body Refinement cultivator like Su Xing, it was like taking candy from a baby. An hour later, all the girls had leveled up. Su Xing happily received a payment of ten thousand Great Xia Coins, then turned to the girl who was still hesitant to part with the money. "Um, senior... I''m a bit tight on cash right now, so could I perhaps..." ``` Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Two Simulations, An Irreversible Conclusion ```That night, Su Xing returned to his dormitory in high spirits. Don''t get the wrong idea, Su Xing didn''t do anything. He just invited his junior to the little black room for a thorough but heartfelt persuasion. For a junior who was about to step into the Abyss, Su Xing''s main strategy was spiritual salvation. Over the next week, Su Xing started taking on a frenzy of orders, leading newbies to level up every day, and exchanging the equipment he obtained for energy. In just one week, Su Xing had earned more than two hundred thousand Great Xia Coins, a fruitful harvest indeed. During this time, Su Xing also tried to purchase some higher quality equipment and potions to exchange for energy. But, regrettably, he discovered that converting white-quality equipment into energy was still the most cost-effective choice. That day, the life simulator cooled down to completion. Lying on the bed with excitement, Su Xing chose to simulate. "Start simulation!" [You have used 200 points of energy, with 1082 energy points remaining, and unlimited simulations remaining.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, do you wish to draw a talent?] Su Xing hesitated for a moment and chose to draw a white talent. [You have spent 100 points of energy, with 982 energy points remaining, random talent draw in progress...] [Ding, congratulations on obtaining a white talent, ''Business Elite''!] [Business Elite]: Your business acumen is beyond ordinary people, making it easier for you to make money in trade than average merchants. Su Xing nodded slightly. Although the Business Elite talent didn''t directly enhance his strength, it could help him acquire more wealth in the simulation, making it not so bad after all. [Inside the dormitory, with your unique business insight, you plan to invest to make money.] [You spent all your savings and purchased a large amount of low-level skill scrolls and equipment.] [You continued to lead newcomers to level up for extra money.] [While leveling up, you recommended equipment and skills to the newcomers.] [The newcomers were persuaded by your eloquence and one by one they took out their money to buy!] [Through buying low and selling high, you made 30 million in just one year.] [You were about to graduate, but as a sixth-tier Body Refinement practitioner, you unsurprisingly had to repeat a year.] [However, you were not discouraged and continued with the business of second-hand dealing.] [You started monopolizing the on-campus second-hand market, dealing with everything from equipment to skill scrolls to restoration potions.] [In just two years, you became a businessman worth hundreds of millions.] [Dissatisfied with just that, you started to develop your own network.] [You founded a trading organization called the ''Tarot Society'' and opened shops within Kyoto.] [Another two years passed, and you were expelled from school.] [But you didn''t care, as your business was growing bigger and bigger, until one day, you caught someone''s attention.] [A woman named Wang Qingxuan found you, and to your astonishment, she was the junior you once conducted spiritual salvation on.] [She told you that she had joined a mysterious organization, and her task this time was to recruit you into the organization!] [You asked her what organization it was, but she didn''t tell you.] [You refused to join the mysterious organization.] [She told you that if you didn''t join the organization, there was only one path left: death.] [You scoffed and called out several Grandmaster Level professional bodyguards.] [Your bodyguards were easily taken care of by her.] [To your surprise, after not seeing her for years, she had actually become a Grandmaster Tier professional.] Su Xing was stunned at this revelation. You should know that in this world, the ranks of professionals from low to high are: ``` Bronze Tier, Silver Tier, Gold Tier, Master Level, Grandmaster Level, Heavenly King Tier, Martial Emperor Tier, Legendary Tier, Great Emperor Tier, Holy Tier, Divine Tier. And between each tier, there are precisely thirty sub-levels. For instance, a practitioner at the 30th level of the Bronze Tier, upon reaching max level, can no longer increase their level and must complete an advancement quest in an "Advancement Dungeon" in order to continue leveling up. And in top institutions like Kyoto Vocational College, breaking through to the Gold Tier within four years would qualify one for graduation. Only prodigies like Fatty Yu have the potential to reach the Master Level. But Wang Qingxuan, she actually grew from Bronze Level to Grandmaster Level in just five years? "Hiss~ There must be a great secret behind this mysterious organization!" Su Xing took a sharp inhale and continued reading. [You thought you were surely going to die, but Wang Qingxuan didn''t kill you.] [She told you, you had shown her kindness in the past, and she wanted to repay you.] [That night, you made love.] [The next day, she left, and there were spots of blood on the bedsheet.] Su Xing was surprised when she saw this; she didn''t expect that Wang Qingxuan was actually a virgin. So why did it turn out that way in the previous simulation, what exactly happened? [After she left, you felt guilty, thinking you had misunderstood her all along.] [You asked around for her whereabouts, but to your surprise, you learned of her death.] [Shock filled your heart, how could a Grandmaster Level powerhouse like her die so easily!] [You suspected that Wang Qingxuan was probably unable to complete a mission and was discreetly dealt with by the mysterious organization.] [You began investigating the mysterious organization behind Wang Qingxuan, but came up empty-handed.] [You gave up the investigation and instead started to enhance your own strength.] [While running your business, you also bought a large number of Instance Dungeon Items that could enhance physical fitness.] [At the same time, you never gave up searching for Cultivation Techniques.] [Two years went by, you didn''t find the Cultivation Technique, but your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved tremendously, reaching Great Perfection.] [It suddenly occurred to you, your sister Su Nianan died in that year.] [You went home once, and patiently told your sister not to enter any instance dungeons that year.] [Although Su Nianan was puzzled, she obediently agreed.] [Your sister was safe and sound that year.] Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief upon reading this, he had finally saved his sister. Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But then, Su Xing''s face changed. [The next year, your sister continued to take on instance dungeon missions, and she died.] [You began investigating the cause of your sister''s death, but found nothing.] [Unwilling to let it go, you used a wealth of resources and many methods in your investigation.] [Eventually, you made some headway and someone told you, your sister died in an instance called Demon-Subduing Pass.] [You inquired about the Demon-Subduing Pass instance, but you found out nothing.] [Having no choice, you gave up and continued managing your business while striving to temper your body.] [Three years went by, and your strength was still stuck at Body Refinement Great Perfection, making no progress.] [It suddenly came to you, your good brother Yu Yan also died in that year.] [Thus, you found Yu Yan and told him not to go down to the instance dungeons this year.] [Yu Yan hesitated, but eventually nodded in agreement.] [A month later, you received the terrible news, Yu Yan had died.] [Something felt wrong to you, and you began looking into the cause of Yu Yan''s death.] [True to your suspicions, you found out, Yu Yan also died in the Demon-Subduing Pass instance.] [And it wasn''t just him, many of your classmates from those years also died in that instance.] [Panic filled your heart, this Demon-Subduing Pass instance seemed like a meat grinder, constantly consuming the lives of those around you.] Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Cultivation Progress, Body Refinement Great Perfection! Seeing this, Su Xing''s complexion completely changed, what exactly was this Demon-Subduing Pass instance?How did it cause the death of so many professionals within? And it seemed these professionals all had reasons they couldn''t ignore, they had to enter the Demon-Subduing Pass instance! Su Xing continued the simulation. "You did not give up your investigation; while managing your business, you continued to strive in your cultivation." "A year has passed, and your business has covered half of Kyoto''s low-tier professional market, but your cultivation level is still stuck at Body Refinement Great Perfection." "During this year, with your foresight, you swiftly sold off a large quantity of low-tier equipment and switched to purchasing many restorative potions!" "Amid the market fluctuations, you made a fortune." "You became a commercial tycoon of the Kyoto low-tier professional market." "But you did not let down your guard, for you knew there was a calamitous disaster sweeping across the entire continent in four years." "You started to prepare for this disaster, wanting to leverage your wealth and influence to inform some key individuals of this message." "You failed, no one believed your message." "Out of no choice, you could only ensure your own survival." "You began to sell off your assets en masse and purchased foreign industries." "Three years later, you moved to America with your parents and hundreds of billions of funds." "America is also a powerful country, with countless high-tier professionals, located tens of thousands of miles across the ocean." "The professions here are quite different from your former country, featuring unique ones like vampires, werewolves, cowboys, and more." "Another year passed, and it was finally the year the giant beasts attacked." "Your heart was uneasy, hoping to avoid the attack of the giant beast in America." "On this day, a demon that blotted out the sun appeared in the skies of America." A demon?! Su Xing was stunned by this, could it be that there was more than one monster attacking the real world? "Countless professionals took to the sky, attempting to deal with the demon, but it was a vain effort." "On the streets, civilians and professionals were frantically fleeing with many taking advantage of the chaos for zero-cost purchases." "You sighed, knowing death was certain, and took a deep drag of a cigarette before you died." "The demon unleashed an endless curse, and all the humans in America perished." "You died at the age of thirty-six!" "This simulation has ended!" "You may choose one of the following rewards: Business Elite (Talent), Body Refinement Great Perfection (Cultivation Level)" "Business Elite (Silver Talent): Priced at 1000 energy points." "Body Refinement Great Perfection (Cultivation Level): Priced at 500 energy points." Su Xing contemplated the two rewards in front of him for a moment and then silently thought: "I choose cultivation level!" "Ding, you have chosen to take back Body Refinement Great Perfection (Cultivation Level) from the simulation, consuming 500 energy points, remaining energy 482 points." Boom! At the same time, Su Xing''s physical strength began to surge. In just tens of seconds, his Body Cultivation soared from the sixth tier to the seventh tier. And then, the eighth tier... the ninth tier... to Body Refinement Great Perfection! Su Xing carefully felt the power coursing through his body, at this moment, his strength was probably far beyond ten thousand pounds! His strength had multiplied several times over compared to before! "Hiss... My current strength can probably be compared to those who just advanced to the Silver Tier professionals, right?" Su Xing felt relief in his heart that he had not chosen the wrong talent. While the Business Elite talent could bring him a vast fortune in the simulator, it was of no help to him in the real world for the moment. But the cultivation level of Body Refinement Great Perfection was tangible, with his cultivation level skyrocketing, his efficiency in leading people through instances for leveling and gold farming would greatly improve. In time, he would obtain more equipment, thereby converting it into energy to better perform simulations. Beyond the increase in strength, Su Xing''s heart was also continuously contemplating strategies. "Is there really no way to avoid the catastrophe fifteen years from now?" Su Xing shook his head lightly, in that life in the simulator he was already a billionaire. Although he was still insignificant in the eyes of high-tier professionals, he had somewhat more influence. But none in the Human Race believed his message. Was it disbelief? Su Xing''s heart stirred, and he murmured: "Could it be... Did the higher-ups of the Human Race already know about this news, but simply couldn''t avoid it?" "So they suppressed the news, just to prevent the panic among the ordinary people?" Su Xing took a deep breath, he was quite certain that the reason was probably just like that. As for whether the truth was indeed so, Su Xing needed to explore further. After the simulation ended, Su Xing checked his professional panel. The professional panel was an ability every profession possessed, allowing one to see their attributes. [Name: Su Xing] [Profession: Cultivator (Unique Hidden Profession)] [Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement First Layer, Body Refinement Great Perfection] [Cultivation Technique: None] [Talent: Spiritual Root Holder] [Skill: None] [Equipment: Green Blood Longsword (Green), Spiked Chain Mail (Green), Azure Cloud Boots (Green)] Because of his special profession, Su Xing''s professional panel was different from ordinary professionals. For example, where other professionals had "Cultivation Level" displayed as levels. Like Bronze Tier Level 30, Silver Tier Level 15, and such... But Su Xing''s displayed his Cultivation Level, possessing both Qi Refinement and Body Refinement. This allowed Su Xing to enjoy two kinds of bonuses, equivalent to a dual professional, his strength was far superior to ordinary professionals. Also, Su Xing''s panel had an additional category for "Cultivation Technique," which ordinary professionals did not have. The only pity was that Su Xing couldn''t learn normal skills and seemed only able to learn skills related to cultivators. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This had prevented Su Xing from mastering any skill until now. Luckily. Su Xing could still equip various gears. Professional equipment ranged from low to high as follows: White Common, Green Fine, Blue Superior, Orange Rare, Red Treasure, Purple Epic, Gold Legendary, Dark Gold Immortal, Colorful Mythical, Black Supreme... The three pieces of equipment Su Xing frequently used were all of Green Fine quality, not only more durable but also lethal to the average Bronze Tier monsters in seconds. "Tsk tsk, Body Refinement Great Perfection, my strength and physical defense have increased at least several times than before!!" Previously, Su Xing''s physique was already extremely formidable, over ten times stronger than that of an ordinary person, a proper mini-superman level. And now, Su Xing''s Body Refinement Cultivation Level had broken through to the realm of Great Perfection, almost dozens of times that of an ordinary person''s physical quality! He might even be much stronger than the average Silver Tier professional. "However, it''s still far from enough... I must continue to enhance my strength if I hope to face the catastrophe fifteen years from now!" Su Xing murmured. So, in the week that followed, Su Xing continued to grind furiously to make money. Due to the increase in strength, Su Xing''s money-making efficiency had improved a lot, earning over four hundred thousand in a week. Su Xing kept around a million as startup capital, and then he spent the remaining close to four hundred thousand on White equipment. Su Xing had tried buying other equipment or items in exchange for energy. But after experimentation, neither Green nor Blue equipment''s energy exchange ratio was as good as White equipment. For instance, a Green piece of equipment which cost dozens of times more than a White one could only contain ten times the energy of the White equipment. The cost-effectiveness was too low! As for other items like injected healing potions, skill scrolls, and such, it was the same story, too expensive! Su Xing couldn''t afford to exchange for them at the moment... Thus, after comparing, Su Xing decisively invested in a legion of White equipment. That week, he gathered a total of 1600 points of energy. As of now, Su Xing''s energy had reached 2082 points! When the life simulator refreshed that moment, Su Xing couldn''t wait to choose to simulate. "Start the simulation!" [Consuming 300 points of energy, remaining energy 1782 points, remaining simulation attempts unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a White talent costs 100 points of energy, Green talent costs 1000 points of energy, do you wish to draw?] "Draw a White talent!" Without hesitation, Su Xing chose, for a White talent took 1000 points of energy, which meant the price of a Green talent would likely be even higher. With Su Xing''s current finances, he could only afford a White talent. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining a White talent, Death Defiance!] Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Cultivation Technique, Changchun Technique [Unyielding Eyes]: After death, you can deduce an extra day. (Damn it, let me see who killed me!)Su Xing frowned upon seeing this talent, but then his expression softened. This talent could perhaps play a significant role in the simulation. For example, he could see what exactly happened in this world after his death! [Your phone rings. Turns out, a junior is asking you to lead them in a dungeon raid to level up.] [You get up from the bed, and head out to take the job.] [Due to your increase in strength, you easily handle the Bronze-level dungeons, earning fifty thousand dollars in just one day.] [Over the course of a year, you earn twenty million by tirelessly raiding Bronze-level dungeons and leveling up others.] [Because you exclusively love the Ten Miles Slope dungeon and can kill Bronze-level monsters with a single strike, people have given you the nickname, ''Sword God of Ten Miles Slope!''] [During this year, you haven''t forgotten about the junior you met before, Wang Qingxuan.] [In between jobs, you often casually take her leveling up, and you''ve also been feeding her soul-soothing chicken soup.] [Wang Qingxuan gradually falls for you.] Seeing this, Su Xing smiled wryly. In the last simulation, he knew that Wang Qingxuan wasn''t actually bad. She even risked her life to save him later on, so it was only natural that he wanted to change her fate in this simulation. Su Xing continued the simulation. [One day, Wang Qingxuan approaches you, looking somewhat anxious.] [She tells you a secret, that a mysterious organization has contacted her.] [You urgently tell her not to join the mysterious organization.] [Wang Qingxuan''s face shows hesitation, but she finally nods her head.] [That night, you are intimate with each other.] [The next day, you hear the news that Wang Qingxuan has dropped out of school and her whereabouts are unknown.] Su Xing is startled by this revelation. Did Wang Qingxuan end up joining the mysterious organization? Or was she dealt with by the organization because she refused to join? Su Xing continued the simulation with his doubts. [You are worried about Wang Qingxuan and try to investigate her whereabouts, but you find nothing.] [That year, you fail to graduate due to your insufficient strength.] [But you don''t lose heart, and you continue to run the errand and leveling business in the school.] [Two years pass, and you gradually accumulate starting wealth.] [You open an equipment store in Kyoto, selling low-tier gear.] [Another two years go by, and due to a lack of unique business insight, your business fluctuates but is generally worth hundreds of millions.] [That year, you are expelled from school.] [But you had anticipated this and start to focus on your business, establishing the "Tarot Society" and gradually expanding the business.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan finds you, looking like she''s burdened with concerns.] [But you feel relieved and directly ask her where she has been all these years.] [She remains silent, and you guess it has to do with the mysterious organization, so you don''t probe further.] [After being intimate throughout the night, she leaves quietly, leaving something by your bed.] [It is an ancient tome. Upon opening it, you discover that it''s a cultivation technique called the "Changchun Technique!"] [You have a feeling that this might be a genuine cultivation technique! Unfortunately, it is only half-complete.] Su Xing is overjoyed at this discovery. There actually exists a real cultivation technique! This gives him hope for his own cultivation! So Su Xing continues to read on with a mix of nervousness and anticipation. [Nevertheless, you are ecstatic and begin to cultivate day and night.] [A month passes, and your cultivation level remains at Qi Refinement first level.] [You are puzzled because you are certain this is a genuine cultivation technique and you possess a Spiritual Root, yet you still can''t cultivate!] "You were relentless, attending to the business only when necessary, and devoting all your thoughts to this cultivation technique." "Two years later, you gradually made a discoverythe reason you couldn''t cultivate was that this world lacked the spiritual energy needed for cultivation." "Feeling helpless, you had no choice but to give up, because you knew that in this year, your sister would die at the Demon-Subduing Pass instance." "You decided to save your sister, so you returned to your rural hometown and found your sister, Su Nianan." "You handed over the business to ''Tarot Society'' and devoted yourself to accompanying your sister at home." "Your sister was very happy with your arrival, pestering you to play with her every day." "Over time, Su Nianan''s attitude towards you worsened, often snatching your potato chips and spicy strips." Su Xing sighed upon reading this; his little sister was just like that, very clingy at the beginning of their relationship. But after a while, she started to lose her temper, which seemed quite normal? However, what surprised Su Xing the most was that he had found out why he couldn''t cultivate! Spiritual Root, Cultivation Technique, Spiritual Energyall three were indispensable! Now that he had a clue about the first two, he only needed the last piecethe Spiritual Energy. Thus, Su Xing continued to simulate. "One day, a person claiming to be from the official department visited your home. She approached your sister, Su Nianan, inviting her to the Demon-Subduing Pass instance." "You decisively refused, stating that she couldn''t go to the Demon-Subduing Pass." "However, your sister agreed." "You were shocked to discover that your sister had grown into a Grandmaster-grade professional within four years!" "Your sister secretly told you that she was one of the nation''s ranked geniuses, and asked you not to tell anyone." "You were stunned, yet you still didn''t want her to go to the Demon-Subduing Pass." "Left with no choice, she told you that the Demon-Subduing Pass was an instance every Grandmaster-grade professional must attend, and they had to spend at least a month there every year." "She said she would definitely try hard to survive and return." "Although you were extremely reluctant to let her go, you could only remind her to be careful." "A month later, the news of your sister''s death reached you." Su Xing felt somewhat desperate upon reading this. Could nothing change his sister''s death seven years later? No! Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As long as he could keep simulating and become stronger, perhaps he could save Su Nianan from death! So, Su Xing continued to simulate. "You had anticipated your sister''s death and consoled your parents before returning to Kyoto alone." "While managing your business, you investigated clues about Spiritual Energy." "Your business grew, but you still knew nothing about Spiritual Energy." "Three years later, you found Fatty Yu, knowing that he would die soon." "You advised Fatty Yu not to participate in the Demon-Subduing Pass instance." "He was surprised that you knew about the instance but still shook his head, indicating he had to go." "Feeling helpless, you had to give up, but before leaving, you borrowed a large sum of money from Fatty Yu." "That year, you dumped various equipment like crazy while buying up large quantities of healing potions." "Another year passed, and the market fluctuated. You profited wildly by selling the healing potions at high prices, earning tens of billions of Great Xia Coins." "Knowing you only had four years left, you sold all your properties and invested all your money and efforts into finding Spiritual Energy." "You spent a year searching but came up empty-handed." "One day, a mysterious stranger approached you." "When you asked who he was, he simply scoffed, saying that you were nothing but an ant." "He broke your neck, and you died with your eyes wide open!" "You activated your talent, unwilling to close your eyes in death!" Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Innate Ability, Death with Eyes Wide Open! "He kept probing your body and eventually took away that half of the ''Changchun Technique,'' and before he left, he crushed your head with his foot.""You lost your eyes, and your talent for dying with one''s eyes open became ineffective." "This simulation has ended!" "You may choose one of the following rewards: Dying With One''s Eyes Open (Talent), Half of the Changchun Technique (Cultivation Technique)" "Dying With One''s Eyes Open (White Talent)": Price 1000 energy points. "Half of the Changchun Technique (Cultivation Technique)": Price 3000 energy points, the most common wood-attribute cultivation technique for immortality, which can extend one''s lifespan and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy. "I didn''t even survive until the end of the world? Killed by a mysterious person?" Su Xing''s expression became serious. "That mysterious person took away the Changchun Technique that Wang Qingxuan gave me... Perhaps, he is also from the mysterious organization?" Su Xing frowned slightly, then noticed the rewards for this simulation. "It really is a cultivation technique!" "Half of the Changchun Technique, does it actually require three thousand energy points?" Su Xing was in a dilemma, murmuring to himself: "So, should I choose the talent of Dying With One''s Eyes Open or the Changchun Technique?" Although Su Xing didn''t have so many energy points on him, as long as he spent a few hundred thousand to purchase white equipment and then converted it into energy points, he could afford it. But... this talent of Dying With One''s Eyes Open is clearly a divine skill in the simulation! At the very least, Su Xing could find out the cause of his death and even what exactly happened on the day of the world''s end! "Sigh..." He rubbed his temples and murmured: "The Changchun Technique might have another chance to be obtained in the next simulation, but who knows how long it will take to randomly get the talent of Dying With One''s Eyes Open again..." Su Xing gritted his teeth and chose the talent of Dying With One''s Eyes Open. "Ding, you have chosen to bring back the talent of Dying With One''s Eyes Open from the simulation, consuming 1000 energy points, leaving a balance of 782 points." Only 782 energy points were left. Su Xing frowned slightly; he had already made plans for the next simulation. That was to bring back the Changchun Technique! But exchanging for the Changchun Technique would require 3000 energy points. And each simulation''s energy cost increased by 100 points, so the next one would need a simulation fee of 400 energy points, plus the cost of drawing talents, which would be another 100 points. He needed to save up at least 3500 points to bring back the Changchun Technique! There was still an energy gap of nearly 3000 points. Assuming that on average, one piece of white equipment could be exchanged for 5 energy points, he needed to purchase at least 600 pieces of white equipment. The cheapest piece of white equipment would cost at least 1000 to 2000 Great Xia Coins. That means, he would have to spend at least 600,000 Great Xia Coins to get that many energy points. "Ah, what a headache... but the Changchun Technique is a must-have!" "The key is still to make money and develop!" So, in the following week, Su Xing worked day and night, running instances as a substitute, and occasionally checking in on Wang Qingxuan. In one week''s time, Su Xing ran instances 50 times like crazy, earning a total of more than 500,000 Great Xia Coins! Together with his previous savings of one million, Su Xing had over 1.5 million on hand. However, after purchasing 600 pieces of white equipment, Su Xing''s savings plummeted to 700,000 Great Xia Coins. "Start the simulation!" "Consumed 400 energy points, remaining energy points 3282, unlimited remaining simulation attempts." "The simulation begins!" "Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, would you like to draw?" "Draw a white talent!" "Ding, congratulations on obtaining a white talent, Calm Seas!" "Calm Seas": No matter how turbulent your heart may be, you always appear calm and composed on the surface, commonly known as a poker face. Seeing this talent, Su Xing''s face revealed a peculiar hue. A poker face counts as a talent? Seriously, are we talking Sima the old thief, the stoic emperor? Su Xing shook his head, muttering to himself, "Now why bother with this, better start the simulation!" [You have arranged in advance to take your junior sisters to level up in a dungeon, and you have left the house.] [Seeing the junior sisters'' fair thighs and good figures, your heart blossoms with joy, but you maintain a calm exterior, still posing as a gentleman.] [In the following year, you lead the junior sisters to the dungeon every day for leveling and monster-slaying, and although they show you favor, you remain impassive, while internally striving for restraint.] [In one year, you earned 25 million Great Xia Coins.] [At the same time, you didn''t forget to frequently care for Wang Qingxuan.] [But fearing it might disrupt the process from the previous simulation, you also purposefully kept a certain distance from her.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan came to you, telling you about the mysterious organization.] [You still persuaded her not to join using the lines you remembered from before.] [That night, you tried a new position.] [The next day Wang Qingxuan dropped out of school, whereabouts unknown.] [You knew Wang Qingxuan had joined the mysterious organization, so you weren''t worried.] [This year, due to insufficient strength, you were not able to graduate.] [In the following four years, you tirelessly ran dungeons for gold, amassing a fortune worth hundreds of millions.] [As expected, you were expelled from school.] [You left school and founded the Tarot Society, starting a second-hand equipment trading business in Kyoto.] [You quietly waited for Wang Qingxuan to find you.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan indeed came to see you.] [After one night, she left, leaving behind half of the Changchun Technique!] [You memorized the entire Changchun Technique and attempted to cultivate it a few times.] Su Xing saw this and was excitedly gripping his fists. "Sure enough, as long as I follow the previous simulation process, I can obtain the Changchun Technique!" Su Xing continued the simulation. [You still were unable to cultivate, so you stopped fixating on it and chose to investigate the whereabouts of Spiritual Energy.] [You dispatched members of the Tarot Society all over Great Xia Country to help you search for traces of Spiritual Energy.] [Two years passed, and you still hadn''t found any clues about Spiritual Energy.] [But your business grew larger, and you amassed tens of billions in assets.] [This year, you learned your sister was going to die, and you couldn''t prevent it.] [So, you spent a huge sum to buy a piece of Grandmaster Level equipment, hoping it could save your sister''s life.] [Before Su Nianan went to Demon-Subduing Pass, you went home, gave her the equipment, and talked with her for a long time.] [A month later, news of your sister''s death reached you.] [You felt sad inside, but there was nothing you could do.] [Three years passed, you were fortunate that your business grew even larger, and the Tarot Society''s members spread across Great Xia Country.] [You knew that the next to die was Fatty Yu.] [So, on the day before Fatty Yu went to Demon-Subduing Pass, you went to drink with him.] [That night, you drank a lot, and Fatty Yu sent you home.] [Soon after, you attended Yu Yan''s funeral.] [This year, you poured all your funds into the potion industry, you made a fortune, and your net worth reached hundreds of billions.] [But you were anxious inside because you knew that the mysterious person would find you in a year.] [So you prepared to flee to another country. Before leaving, you sold most of your assets.] [However, an accident happened.] [Luck was on your side. A few days before you were set to head to America, you received a message about Spiritual Energy...] sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Talent: Youve Gone Bald, But Havent Gotten Stronger? Withdraw voluntarily? Good for everyone?Su Xing sneered inwardly, probably only good for your performance as a class advisor, right? As Su Xing''s class advisor, Liu Xiaodong naturally must be responsible for the students'' assessment standards and post-graduation employment rates. At the moment, Su Xing was far from meeting the Gold tier''s criteria, and it seemed that Liu Xiaodong harbored intentions of kicking Su Xing out of school. Of course, being expelled sounded terrible. But if a student voluntarily withdrew due to special circumstances, that was a different story! Would Su Xing comply with his wishes? Of course not! Su Xing shook his head and said, "Teacher Liu, I have no thoughts of withdrawing. After all, the school''s environment is quite beneficial for me!" Liu Xiaodong''s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he continued, "Su Xing, I know things are not easy for you right now. As long as you''re willing to withdraw voluntarily, I am prepared to offer you compensation on behalf of the school: five hundred thousand Great Xia Coins. What do you think?" "In addition, I''m willing to help you find a job! There''s a vacancy for a security guard in the teachers'' residential area, and with your strength, you could give it a try!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing''s face also darkened. A measly five hundred thousand to get rid of him? And kindly offering to help him find a job as a security guard? That was clearly an insult to him! Su Xing stared intently at Liu Xiaodong in front of him, recalling how three years ago, he had begged abjectly for Su Xing to become his student. Even then, this man had promised an annual scholarship of three million. Of course, he hadn''t paid a single cent to date. Su Xing took a deep breath and said with certainty, "Teacher Liu, I don''t have any plans to drop out. I find the atmosphere at Kyoto Vocational quite good, suitable for cultivation!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Teacher Liu stopped putting on an act and sneered, "Su Xing! Have you still not recognized the situation? You are no longer the genius you were three years ago!" "Here in our school, you''re at the bottom, a total drag!" "Kyoto Vocational is a prestigious school with hundreds of years of history. Are we supposed to let someone like you, a parasite, tarnish our school''s reputation? Does your conscience allow that?" Liu Xiaodong slammed the desk, making it clang loudly, and then mocked, "If you withdraw voluntarily now, you can save some face. Otherwise, being expelled will get you laughed at by the entire school!" After hearing Liu Xiaodong''s words, Su Xing was even more disdainful. Kyoto Vocational is the top educational institution in the country and wouldn''t care about whether he graduated or not; even if he didn''t graduate, it wouldn''t necessarily tarnish the school''s reputation. And Liu Xiaodong, at the end of the day, was only interested in making his own performance evaluations look better. Thus, Su Xing paid him no mind, saying indifferently, "Is there anything else, Teacher Liu? If not, I''ll be going!" Without giving him any face, Su Xing turned around and left. Liu Xiaodong was left fuming, hopping mad in his office. Su Xing had simulated the future and knew that Kyoto Vocational had no intention of forcing him out right now. Even if he were to withdraw, that was a matter for five years later. In the meantime, he naturally chose to stay in the school. After all, the outside world was very dangerous, but Kyoto Vocational was filled with masters, making it a safer place for Su Xing. Moreover, the resources provided by the school could help him quickly acquire the energy needed for his simulations. After leaving the office, Su Xing spent all his savings, including the five million Great Xia Coins Fatty Yu had lent him. With that money, Su Xing bought nearly four thousand pieces of white-grade equipment. He then converted all those equipments into energy. As a result, Su Xing''s energy reached an astonishing 22,040 points! A whole twenty thousand points of energy was definitely a huge sum for Su Xing. In the following week, Su Xing continued training others in dungeon leveling, as usual. Occasionally, he would check on his junior, Wang Qingxuan. Finally, the day when the simulator usage refreshed came. Su Xing, in his dorm room, chose to simulate without any hesitation. "Whether I can set foot on the path of cultivation depends on this time!" "Begin simulation!" [500 energy points consumed, 21,540 energy points remaining, no remaining simulation attempts.] [Simulation starts!] [Drawing a White Talent costs 100 energy points, drawing a Green Talent costs 1,000 energy points, proceed with the draw?] "Draw a White Talent!" Although Su Xing now had enough energy to draw a Green Talent, he only needed a White Talent this time because his goal was to bring out Spirit Stones. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the White Talent: You''re going bald, but not getting stronger.] [You''re going bald, but not getting stronger]: White Talent, your hair falls out earlier than your peers, making you more prone to hair loss, but your bald appearance resembles a high monk from a temple, making it easier for you to gain the trust and favor of others.] Su Xing: ??? What kind of ridiculous Talent is this! Su Xing glanced at his hair, relieved that it was still thick. [You run your hands through your hair, and a dozen strands come out.] [Sensing something amiss, you hastily bought Regaine shampoo and Minoxidil from a certain treasure site, hoping it could cure your hair loss.] [As usual, you continued to guide newcomers through leveling, and every session was quite profitable.] [Half a year passed, your hair grew thinner, but your wallet got fatter.] [The thinning hair affected your looks, and you missed many opportunities to interact deeply with new female students.] [But Wang Qingxuan didn''t mind at all and remained enthusiastic towards you.] [Another half a year went by, your hair grew increasingly scarce, and you decided to shave it all off, going completely bald.] [For some reason, being bald made you prefer to crush monsters in the dungeons with your fists, and since your physique was strong, you often killed the monsters with a single strike.] [Your approachable appearance led more newcomers in school to seek you out for training services, and you amassed a fortune of thirty million in just one year.] [You had a bit of a name for yourself in Kyoto Polytechnic, known colloquially as: One Punch Man.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan found you and told you about the mysterious organization.] Su Xing unconsciously touched his hair as he read this, deep in thought. To be honest, he had already acquired the first half of the Changchun Technique and wasn''t very keen on getting further involved with that organization. But the problem was, he only had the first half of the Changchun Technique; Su Xing had to pave the way for the future. And the Changchun Technique originated from that mysterious organization; perhaps they held the second half! Su Xing took a deep breath and continued with the simulation. [You feel that Wang Qingxuan joining the mysterious organization might be more beneficial to you, so you stick with the plan and continue to persuade her not to join.] [The next morning, you are the only one left on the hotel bed, and Wang Qingxuan has dropped out again.] [You know that Wang Qingxuan has joined the organization again, so you aren''t too worried.] Su Xing frowned slightly as he read this, an idea gradually forming. "Could it be that my thoughts in reality can instantly reflect in the simulator?" Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Cultivation Towards the Instance, Qingyun Spirit Field Su Xing took a deep breath; he had had such a premonition before.And at this moment, he was ninety percent sure that the version of him in the simulator would indeed act according to his ideas in reality. Su Xing continued to simulate. [In this year, because your cultivation level was low, your graduation was delayed.] [You had anticipated this and devoted all your energy to making money.] [You borrowed a large sum of money from your good brother Yu Yan and set up an equipment store in Kyoto, specializing in selling equipment to low-level professionals.] [Because you had a bit of a reputation at school and were highly trusted, many freshmen were willing to buy your equipment.] [While leading dungeons and leveling up newcomers, you also flipped low-level equipment, and in just three years, you made a fortune.] [In the fifth year, your net worth had broken ten billion, and your business of selling equipment was no longer limited to Kyoto. You established the Tarot Society, opened stores throughout Great Xia Country, and focused on Jinling City in Jiangnan Province.] [You instructed your subordinates to scout for information about Spirit Stones, but there was no news.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan found you.] [She brought you half of the Changchun Technique, but you told her you didn''t need this half of the technique, you wanted her to help you find the other half.] [Although Wang Qingxuan was puzzled, she agreed.] [After one night, Wang Qingxuan disappeared again, and you didn''t ask too much and continued focusing on making money and growing your business.] [Because of your benevolent appearance and credibility in the business world, you secured several big orders, quickly doubling your net worth.] [You were expelled from Kyoto Polytechnic, but you weren''t sad, wholeheartedly developing your own business.] [In the seventh year, you felt a premonition and knew that your sister was going to Demon-Subduing Pass dungeon.] [Knowing that you couldn''t prevent it from happening, you chose to return to your hometown and devotedly spent a month with your parents and Su Nianan.] [A month later, you attended Su Nianan''s funeral, feeling grief deep in your heart.] [After the funeral, you returned to Kyoto City and continued to run your business.] [One day, you received news that a Grandmaster Level expert in Jinling City possessed a treasured item known as a Spirit Stone.] Here it comes! Su Xing grew excited at this developmentthe Spirit Stone was key to whether he could cultivate or not! [You rushed to Jinling City overnight and met with the Grandmaster Level expert.] Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [The Grandmaster Level expert, who believed in Buddha, took a liking to you and hoped to have a deeper conversation.] [You glanced at her face, and although she was nearly forty, she had taken excellent care of herself and appeared to be only in her thirties, with a certain charm.] [You stayed in Jinling City for seven days, became friends who could talk about anything, and learned that her name was Jin Congxue.] [You learned that she had a total of three Spirit Stones, and you decided to buy them for three hundred million.] [But she shook her head and said that since you were friends, she would sell them to you at a friendship price of thirty million.] [You obtained the Spirit Stones from Jin Congxue, returned to your residence exhilarated, and prepared to absorb the Spirit Stone with your cultivation technique.] [You successfully absorbed a trace of Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone, and you were overjoyed, proving that you truly could succeed in cultivation.] [Over the next three days, you absorbed half of a Spirit Stone, and discovered that your cultivation level had broken through to the second layer of Qi Refinement!] [You resisted the urge and saved the two and a half Spirit Stones and chose not to continue cultivating.] Su Xing, after seeing the simulation information, excitedly clenched his fists. Success! Now that he possessed the Spiritual Root, Spirit Stones, and a cultivation technique, he could finally successfully cultivate! Su Xing couldn''t wait to bring the Spirit Stones out of the simulation but still patiently chose to continue simulating. [You are exceptionally surprised after your cultivation progress advances, and you seek out Jin Congxue again, asking her how she obtained these Spirit Stones.] [Jin Congxue doesn''t hide anything from you, telling you that she acquired the Spirit Stones six years ago, from an instance known as "Qingyun Spirit Field."] [She had entered the instance and helped an old man with farming for a week, and as a reward, she received a bag of Spirit Rice and three Spirit Stones.] Spirit Field, Spirit Rice, Spirit Stones... Su Xing''s eyes widened, without a doubt, the instance Jin Congxue entered was definitely related to "cultivation". "An instance related to cultivation... Indeed, it all makes sense now!" Su Xing finally understood where the Cultivation Technique and the Spirit Stones came from C they originated from those cultivation instances! It''s just that instances related to cultivation must be of a high level, and he was completely unable to access them at the moment. Su Xing patiently continued reading. [You realize the importance of this instance to you and eagerly ask Jin Congxue for the location of the instance.] [Jin Congxue shakes her head slightly, saying that the instance of Qingyun Spirit Field had long been closed, and she was the only professional who had entered it.] [Jin Congxue says that at the time, the NPC old man in the instance told her she lacked the talent for cultivation, otherwise, she could have received an opportunity.] [After hearing this, you are extremely excited and hastily ask Jin Congxue exactly when and where she entered the instance!] [After thinking for a moment, she says that it was in late November of the New Era year 2023 when she stumbled upon the instance outside the western part of Jinling City. The instance only existed for seven days.] Su Xing was taken aback when he read this, glancing at the time displayed on his phone. New Era year 2023, October 7th, 14:31. "Hiss~" Su Xing took a deep breath C this proved that in the real world, the instance named "Qingyun Spirit Field" had not yet commenced, and he still had the chance to enter that cultivation instance! "No rush... With over a month until the instance opens, the most important thing during this time is to increase my own strength!" Through Jin Congxue, Su Xing knew that to gain more opportunities in that instance, one must possess the talent for cultivation, known as the Spiritual Root. Isn''t this a stroke of luck? Su Xing possesses a talent called "Bearer of the Spiritual Root"! Therefore, all Su Xing needed to do was to head to Jinling City by mid-November! [You continue to operate your equipment trading business as usual, even establishing the Tarot Society''s second base in Jinling City.] [While managing the shop, you haven''t neglected the investigation for the whereabouts of the Spirit Stones.] [Unfortunately, you haven''t obtained more information on Spirit Stones. However, with Jin Congxue''s connections, you gained more networking resources, and your equipment store''s business thrived.] [Three years later, you became a well-known tycoon in Jinling City, and because of Jin Congxue, even Grandmaster level professionals treated you with courtesy.] [That year, Fatty Yu died, and you attended his funeral.] [Another year went by, and with your foresight into market fluctuations, you accumulated a large amount of potion-type items and made a fortune. Your net worth reached fifty billion.] [One day, Jin Congxue approached you looking somewhat uneasy.] [Jin Congxue told you that she had been summoned. The pressure at the front lines was increasing, so she had to head to Demon-Subduing Pass.] Su Xing was utterly stunned upon reading this; the Demon-Subduing Pass again! It seemed the Demon-Subduing Pass was like a curse. Su Nianan, his little sister; Yu Yan, his good brother... and now even Jin Congxue was being sent to the Demon-Subduing Pass? [You don''t want her to go to the Demon-Subduing Pass, but she tells you she has to go, that it is the duty of every Grandmaster level professional and above.] [You instead begin to inquire about intelligence regarding the Demon-Subduing Pass.] Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Acquiring the First Spirit Stone, Embarking on the Path to Immortality! ```[Jin Congxue hesitated for a moment, she told you that Demon-Subduing Pass is the lifeline of the Human Race, which possesses extremely powerful enemies, and the situation at the Demon-Subduing Pass was not optimistic at the moment.] [You wanted to ask more, but Jin Congxue refused to continue.] [The next day, you escorted Jin Congxue to Demon-Subduing Pass.] [A month later, you attended Jin Congxue''s funeral, you felt neither joy nor sorrow, only a desire to improve your strength as much as possible.] [You decided to sell all your assets, obtaining over fifty billion in cash.] [You used this money to buy a large number of items for honing your physique, with the goal of breaking through to the second layer of the Body Refinement Cultivator: the Bone Forging Realm.] [Three years had passed, and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level continually improved, but you always felt just a sliver away from the Bone Forging Realm and could not break through for some reason.] [Finally, the day you remembered so well arrived.] [A colossal beast that blotted out the sun appeared in the skies over Great Xia.] [The countless citizens of Great Xia Country were terrified, and several golden figures flew high into the sky to attack the giant beast!] [They failed, and the sky-covering giant beast swallowed the whole Great Xia Country.] [Before being swallowed, you widened your eyes and raised your middle finger to the giant beast in the sky.] [You died at the age of thirty-six!] [You activated the talent "Unyielding Gaze in Death"!] [You were swallowed into the belly of the beast, where you found that not all people died immediately.] [The stomach of the beast was exceptionally spacious, like a world of its own.] [The ground began to tremble continuously, and a strange energy started corroding all life and matter around it...] [Your eyes were digested into a part of the beast, and your talent "Unyielding Gaze in Death" became ineffective!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] [You can choose one of the following rewards: "I Went Bald, but Didn''t Get Stronger" (Talent), "Half-Step Bone Forging Realm" (Cultivation Level), "Qi Refining Second Layer" (Cultivation Level), "Two Half Spirit Stones" (Item)] It worked! The Spirit Stones were successfully taken out! Containing his excitement, Su Xing began to check the costs of these rewards. ["I Went Bald, but Didn''t Get Stronger"]: A white talent, priced at 1000 energy. ["Half-Step Bone Forging Realm"]: Cultivation level, priced at 500 energy. ["Qi Refining Second Layer"]: Cultivation level, priced at 100 energy. ["Two Half Spirit Stones"]: Item, priced at 2500 energy. Su Xing touched his thick hair and didn''t even consider this crappy talent. Instead, the "Half-Step Bone Forging Realm" cultivation level caught Su Xing''s attention for a few more moments. According to the simulator''s description, he was indeed just a little short of breaking through to the Bone Forging Realm in this simulation, yet he couldn''t manage the breakthrough. Perhaps it was due to insufficient aptitude, the lack of a Body Cultivation secret technique, or the right medicinal herbs for Body Cultivation? Su Xing had no way of knowing, but what he most desired at the moment, the Spirit Stones, were right before his eyes. "Unexpectedly cheap..." Su Xing raised his eyebrows, understanding that these Spirit Stones might not be particularly precious, just extremely rare in the real world. "Exchange for the two Half Spirit Stones!" [Ding, you have chosen to take Spirit Stones from the simulation, expending 2500 energy points, leaving you with 18940 energy points.] Three Spirit Stones the size of thumbs appeared in Su Xing''s hand. The Spirit Stones were crystal-clear and smooth as jade, bringing a refreshingly clear sensation just by being near the body. Two of the Spirit Stones were as big as a thumb, while one was only the size of a pinkie, probably digested during the simulation. "So, by that logic... one Spirit Stone should be worth around one thousand energy points..." Su Xing began to study the Spirit Stones in his hands. He first asked the simulator about the price for recycling Spirit Stones. ``` [Ding, a low-grade spirit stone has been detected, with a recycling price of 100 energy. Do you wish to recycle?] S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing: ??? What the hell! I brought it out for 1000 energy, and the recycling price is only 100 energy points? Isn''t this simulator robbing me blind? "Damn it, I wish there were no second-hand merchants profiting from the spread!" Su Xing complained. Immediately after, Su Xing held the half spirit stone in the palm of his hand, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate the Changchun Technique. Wisps of warm breath flowed out from the spirit stone and into Su Xing''s limbs and bones through his palm, making one feel invigorated and comfortable all over. "Hss~ Is this what it feels like to absorb spiritual energy?" Su Xing''s eyes widened. As the spiritual energy entered his body, he clearly felt slight changes occurring within. Su Xing cultivated for an hour before he felt that the meridians in his body could no longer absorb spiritual energy. At the same time, the spirit stone in his hand had shrunk by about one-twentieth of its original size. "Indeed, a single spirit stone should be enough for my practice for half a month, right?" Desire filled Su Xing''s eyes, but he chose not to continue absorbing the energy. Because the few spirit stones he had in hand had an even greater use! In the following week, Su Xing continued his usual practice of leveling up as a proxy and grinding for equipment. In just one week, he had amassed over five hundred thousand again. However, during this period, Su Xing did not choose to continue absorbing energy from the spirit stones for cultivation. That day, the cooldown time for Su Xing''s simulator refreshed again. Su Xing took a deep breath, holding the spirit stone in his hand, he wanted to verify an idea in his mind. "Start simulation!" [Simulation consumes 600 energy points, remaining energy 18,340 points, unlimited simulation attempts remaining.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 energy points. Would you like to draw?] "Draw a white talent!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the white talent: Fitness Enthusiast] [Fitness Enthusiast]: You have more talent in physical training than the average person. After seeing this talent, Su Xing paused for a moment, then realizing, he murmured: "Could it be... that this Fitness Enthusiast is a talent for the Body Refinement direction?" This sudden talent disrupted Su Xing''s plans, but he decided to give the simulation a try anyway. [You are in your dormitory, looking at the two and a half spirit stones in your hand, feeling slightly stunned.] [You begin to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones; as the spiritual energy enters your body, your Qi Refining Cultivation makes slight progress.] [In the following month, you spend your days leading newbies in dungeons to level up and earn money, and in your free time, you absorb energy from the spirit stones to convert into cultivation level.] [Thanks to possessing a decent Qi Refinement Cultivation Technique and enough spirit stones, your Qi Refining Cultivation level progresses rapidly.] [In just one month, your cultivation level has advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refinement.] [New Era 2023, November 10th, this day, you leave Kyoto Polytechnic and buy a high-speed rail ticket to Jinling City.] [The next evening, you successfully arrive in Jinling City.] [For a week, you search outside the west end of Jinling City, hoping to find the dungeon that Jin Congxue once mentioned.] [But you come up empty-handed and do not find the dungeon known as "Qingyun Spirit Field."] [You do not give up and continue to search.] [After a few more days, you encounter a woman on the outskirts of Jinling''s West City. This woman is extremely beautiful but seems quite aloof.] [A premonition rises in your heartthis woman is probably Jin Congxue!] Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Entering the Qingyun Spirit Field Instance, Mysterious Elder! [So, you made up your mind to follow Jin Congxue because you knew that by following her, you might find the entrance to the temporary instance.][Jin Congxue became wary of you, but after confirming that your strength posed no threat to her, she stopped paying attention.] [You followed her all the way and saw that she was merely planning to return to Jinling City.] [Jin Congxue chose a small path to return to the city, and you had a hunch that she might have discovered the entrance to the instance on this very path.] [With a turn, Jin Congxue disappeared from sight, and you were startled, thinking she had entered the instance.] [At that moment, a cold voice sounded from behind you: "Who are you? What do you want, following me like this?"] [Faced with the slightly annoyed beauty, you could only stiffen your resolve and say that you were very fond of Buddhism and had heard that Jin Congxue was quite knowledgeable about it, so you wanted to ask for her guidance.] [Jin Congxue expressed disbelief and asked you some basic questions about Buddhism.] [Luckily, you had learned some Buddhist teachings in advance, and despite your stuttering answers, you managed to convince her somewhat.] [Jin Congxue asked if you had any questions for her, and you asked about the "Buddhist Verse Ten Difficulties" you had seen online, which she couldn''t answer.] [Jin Congxue stated she would reply in a few days, and you took the chance to say that you wanted to return to the city with her.] [Jin Congxue reluctantly agreed, and you walked together on the small path outside the city.] [Before long, you noticed a strange glow suddenly emanating from a willow tree not far away.] [Jin Congxue was both shocked and delighted, expressing that this must be a temporary instance, and she wanted to explore it.] [You quickly expressed your desire to explore as well, but Jin Congxue said your strength was too low, and she couldn''t protect you.] [You insisted on going in, and she assumed you were courting death, but she didn''t refuse.] [You entered the "Green Cloud Spirit Field" instance.] Su Xing was elated to see this; he had succeeded! The Green Cloud Spirit Field was evidently a cultivation-oriented instance, and while Su Xing didn''t yet know the secrets it contained, it was definitely of great use to him. Excited, Su Xing continued to simulate the scenario below. [You arrive at an unfamiliar environment, a mountaintop with clear waters and lush greenery, and a thatched cottage in the distance.] [You are ecstatic, because from the surrounding environment, you sense an abundance of spiritual energy C this clearly is a cultivator''s abode!] [Jin Congxue walks towards the thatched cottage, and you follow.] [You knock on the door of the thatched cottage, and out walks an old man with youthful features and white hair.] [The old man is surprised by your arrival, saying this place is a secret spiritual realm for immortals, and only those with deep fortune may enter.] [The old man declares that you carry luck, and if you are willing to undertake his commission, he will give you an opportunity.] [You accept the task, which is to manage a spirit field within a week''s time.] [You and Jin Congxue each receive an acre of spirit field, planted with numerous spirit grains. Your task is to make the spirit grains grow better.] [You and Jin Congxue glance at each other, realizing that this is probably a significant opportunity, so you both diligently start managing the spirit field.] [Because you grew up in the countryside, you have some understanding of farming and quickly get the hang of it.] [Since Jin Congxue has never farmed before, she is clumsy and ends up damaging a lot of spirit grains.] [Jin Congxue seeks your guidance, and you gladly agree, teaching her much about farming.] [Jin Congxue''s fondness for you grows, and you become friends.] [While managing the spirit field, you discover that spiritual energy can promote the growth of the spirit field, especially your wood-element cultivation technique, the Changchun Technique, which works wonders for growing spirit grains!] [You cherished the opportunity this task presented and thus spent eight hours every day tending to the Spirit Field, infusing it with Spiritual Energy.] [Under your attentive care, the growth of the Spirit Grains was very pleasing.] [Seven days quickly passed and, aside from managing the Spirit Field, you spent all your free time cultivating, achieving a breakthrough to the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.] [On the day the task was to be submitted, the elder came out of the thatched cottage to inspect the results of your farming.] [The elder first went to inspect Jin Congxue''s Spirit Field, and after walking around the field, his expression remained calm.] [Soon he came to your Spirit Field and, seeing the thriving growth of your Spirit Grains, the elder showed a look of surprise.] [After inspecting the Spirit Fields, the elder called you aside to distribute the rewards for the task.] [The elder gave Jin Congxue ten Spirit Stones and a small bag of Spirit Rice.] Su Xing looked on with a look of surprise. If he remembered correctly, Jin Congxue''s previous reward was supposed to be three Spirit Stones and a small bag of Spirit Rice. But now the reward had increased by seven Spirit Stones, and there could be only one reason... With Su Xing''s help, the growth of the Spirit Grains in Jin Congxue''s Spirit Field had improved! Given that the growth of Su Xing''s Spirit Grains far surpassed that of Jin Congxue''s, what reward would he get? Su Xing was somewhat expectant. [After giving Jin Congxue her reward, the elder waved his hand, and she was teleported out of the copy.] [The elder then took out a transparent stone and asked you to place your hand on it.] [You laid your hand on it, and soon a faint five-colored light flashed across the stone.] [The elder sighed faintly, saying you had a Mixed Spirit Root. While you possessed talent for cultivation, the prospect of eternal life was hopeless.] Su Xing was not surprised by this, as after all, the talent of his Spirit Root was of white quality, so having a Mixed Spirit Root was quite normal.] [The elder hesitated for a while, but eventually took out a small bag of Spirit Stones and a large bag of Spirit Rice for you, containing 30 Spirit Stones and about 30 jin of Spirit Rice.] [The elder waved his hand, expelling you from the copy.] [After leaving the copy, you encountered Jin Congxue, who asked what reward you had received.] [You took out a portion of the Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice, indicating that your reward was the same as hers, just in a greater quantity.] [Jin Congxue nodded slightly and did not trouble you.] [You stayed in Jinling City for a few more days, having a harmonious time with Jin Congxue, then returned to Kyoto Polytechnic.] [Back at Kyoto Polytechnic, you continued selling equipment as before, setting up the Tarot Society.] [Your fortune was considerable. Wang Qingxuan found you, you took the hint, and tried out new positions you had never attempted before.] [Afterward, Wang Qingxuan indeed disappeared, and you continued to run your business.] [You did not use the Spirit Stones obtained from the copy, but every few days, you would cook a bowl of Spirit Rice to satisfy your cravings.] [The Spirit Rice was delicious and satisfying; eating one bowl would mean you wouldn''t need to eat for three days, and it also nourished your body.] Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [A year passed, and you found that your Body Refinement Cultivation Level had unconsciously made a breakthrough to the Bone Forging Realm!] [You understood in your heart that this was probably due to the combination of the Spirit Rice and regular fitness routines.] [By the fifth year, you were expelled from school, which you had anticipated, and you continued with your old trade of selling second-hand equipment.] [During these five years, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level steadily improved, and you became a cultivator of the fifth layer of the Bone Forging Realm.] Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Treating a Good Brother as an ATM, The Surge in Energy! [Bone Forging Fifth Level, with the strength of tens of thousands of pounds, your power has significantly increased!][You attempt to challenge a silver-level instance, your strength overwhelmingly crushes the silver-level boss, easily clearing the stage.] Su Xing clenched his fists upon seeing this. The fact that he could crush a silver-level boss at the Fifth Level of Bone Forging showed that the potential and practical combat ability of cultivation were far higher than those of ordinary professionals! You should know that a normal silver-level professional team of five, equipped with roles like tank, warrior, mage, and priest, could barely manage to defeat a silver-level boss. And yet, he alone could crush them with ease! "Is this the advantage of simultaneously refining the body and the Qi..." Su Xing was very satisfied and continued to read on. [Your business grows larger and larger, with a net worth exceeding ten billion.] [That year, Wang Qingxuan came to you, offering you the first half of the Changchun Technique, you refused and asked her to help find the latter half for you.] [Two years later, your sister died, and you attended her funeral.] [Three years after, your good brother Fatty Yu also died, and you equally couldn''t do anything.] [In the market fluctuation that occurred a year later, you made a killing, with your net worth exceeding one hundred billion.] [You found Jin Congxue and wanted to buy those ten Spirit Stones from her.] [Jin Congxue didn''t ask for money but made a request of you.] [You took her virginity and were entangled with her for several months.] [Jin Congxue was called up for duty, and a month later, news of her death came.] [Four years later, the giant beast that blotted out the sky and sun appeared once again.] [You flipped it the middle finger, and it swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one bite.] [You died at the age of thirty-six!] [Your talent, "Unyielding Eyes", activates!] [You witnessed the human tragedy within the belly of the beast.] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] [You may choose one of the following rewards: Fitness Expert (Talent), Bone Forging Fifth Level (Cultivation Level), Qi Refinement Fifth Layer (Cultivation Level), Forty Spirit Stones (Item)] Su Xing took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and looked at the rewards. [Fitness Expert]: White talent, priced at 1000 energy points. [Bone Forging Fifth Level]: Cultivation Level, priced at 4000 energy points. [Qi Refinement Fifth Layer]: Cultivation Level, priced at 400 energy points. [Forty Spirit Stones]: Item, priced at 40000 energy points. Su Xing pondered for a while. Fitness Expert was obviously a good talent, which could enhance his Body Refinement potential, but it was momentarily useless to him. Bone Forging Fifth Level was a reward that could immediately enhance his strength, indeed very tempting. As for Qi Refinement Fifth Layer, Su Xing ignored it outright. What Su Xing truly wanted to exchange for were those forty Spirit Stones! With these forty Spirit Stones, Su Xing could use them in subsequent simulations to quickly break through his strength! Most crucially, the Qingyun Spirit Field instance was closing in less than a month''s time. If Su Xing didn''t take out the Spirit Stones now, who knows if he would be able to get them again later... Then Su Xing''s breakthrough would become hopeless indeed. But having forty meant having countless stones... Because as long as he refrained from using them, Su Xing''s initial number of Spirit Stones in each simulation would be forty! And forty Spirit Stones might even suffice for him to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refinement, or even the Foundation Establishment Realm. When the time comes to bring his Cultivation Level back from the simulator, wouldn''t that be splendid? But the only problem was, Su Xing didn''t have enough energy points. He currently had only 18240 energy points, and even if he sold all his money for white equipment, he could barely reach 2000 energy points. There was still a gap of nearly half. "Alas, a lack of money can stump even the bravest of heroes... seems like there''s only one way now!" Su Xing sighed and then dialed Yu Yan''s mobile number. "Hello, Fatty, can you hear me?" "I can hear you! Damn, I was just about to enter an instance! You startled me What do you want?" "Well, uh, I''m a bit strapped for cash lately, lend me some money!" "How much do you need?" Su Xing asked brazenly, "Um, a hundred million! Do you have it?" From the other end of the phone came Fatty Yu''s roar, "Do you freaking think I''m an ATM? A hundred million, why don''t you just dream on?" Su Xing: "..." "How much do you have now?" "I can lend you fifty million at most! Not a penny more!" "Fine, transfer the money over now!" "Doot doot doot~" sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The sound of the phone hanging up came from the mobile. Ten minutes later, Su Xing''s bank account received a wire transfer of fifty million. Su Xing looked at the huge sum of money that appeared in his bank account and was overcome with emotion. Together with the five million that Yu Yan previously lent to Su Xing, the total loan to Su Xing was now fifty-five million! Yu Yan might be a prodigy, but his family background was average at best. His main source of income was the reward from school and the money he made from selling equipment achieved in dungeons. Apart from his own equipment purchases and strength enhancements, this fifty million was probably the most money Fatty Yu could muster. After all, Yu Yan was likely not a Grandmaster-level professional yet. Once Su Xing got the fifty million, he did not hesitate and immediately went to Kyoto''s biggest low-level professional equipment trading market to place a large order. Su Xing ordered a batch of fifty thousand pieces of white-quality equipment. This definitely counted as a big order, so the equipment market''s boss personally took the order and sold the items to Su Xing at the lowest price of one thousand per item. However, due to the large quantity, the boss said he needed a week to gather the goods. Therefore, after paying the deposit, Su Xing received only ten thousand pieces of white equipment right away. Su Xing converted all these white equipment into energy. As a result, Su Xing''s energy surged from eighteen thousand to a full seventy thousand points! "Luckily, I can always claim rewards before the next simulation... otherwise, I really couldn''t save up this much energy at once." Without hesitation, Su Xing spent forty thousand points of energy to bring out forty Spirit Stones. With forty Spirit Stones in hand, Su Xing felt a strong sense of security. These Spirit Stones were the guarantee for him to make a fortune and improve his strength! But forty Spirit Stones were still far from enough! Su Xing narrowed his eyes. He planned to choose Spirit Stone rewards in the next several simulations to build up his initial capital. After all, so far, the only way Su Xing knew to acquire Spirit Stones was through this one dungeon. And this dungeon would officially open in a month. Hence, Su Xing must accumulate as many Spirit Stones as possible before the "Green Cloud Spirit Field" dungeon officially opened. "Soon... with enough Spirit Stones and the help of the simulator, my cultivation level will soar rapidly!" Su Xing''s heart thumped excitedly. But then, Su Xing said to himself: "No... I can''t get carried away! In the future, Grandmaster-level experts are cannon fodder... The apocalypse is fifteen years away, and I still have a long way to go to change all that!" Su Xing''s state of mind became even more steady. Soon, a week passed and the day for another simulation arrived. During this week, Su Xing diligently took his junior underclassmen into dungeons to level up and hunt for equipment daily. Only, recently the new underclassmen''s levels had grown higher, so fewer and fewer sought Su Xing out for leveling. In a week, Su Xing made less than five hundred thousand. However, it was fortunate that the equipment trading market''s boss delivered the remaining forty thousand pieces of equipment on time. Su Xing''s energy points soared once more, reaching a full 250,000 points! For a short period, Su Xing was not worried about a lack of energy. Su Xing glanced at the date, October 21st, 2023 New Era. One month exactly until the Green Cloud Spirit Field dungeon opened. After everything was ready, Su Xing chose to simulate. "Start simulation!" [700 points of energy consumed remaining energy 250,107 points, unlimited remaining simulation opportunities.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting white talent costs 100 points of energy, green talent costs 1,000 points of energy, do you wish to extract?] "Extract green talent" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green talent, Longevity.] Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Simulating Again, Accumulating Spirit Stones! [Longevity for a Century]: Green talent. You will live a life free of illness and pain, able to live until one hundred years old.Su Xing: "..." Seeing the new green talent he''d drawn, Su Xing immediately felt like he''d been screwed over. God damn it, live until a hundred years old? He was a Cultivator. Wouldn''t living to only a hundred mean dying young? Moreover, with the apocalypse coming in fifteen years, what good would it do to live a long life? Su Xing sighed. His original goal had been to try his luck and see if he could draw a green-quality Spiritual Root talent. After all, in the last simulation, the elder had personally told him that his talent was inadequate, merely a Mixed Spirit Root. If Su Xing''s talent could improve further, he might be able to get better rewards. "Alas, it''s a pity. A thousand energy points wasted..." Su Xing felt the pinch but chose to continue with the simulation. [You received an order from a junior sister who''s just started, you go out to do power-leveling for others.] [For the next month, you diligently power-level every day, practicing your Cultivation in your spare time.] [Your Qi Refining Cultivation level has risen to the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.] [On November 18, 2023 of the New Era, you set off for Jinling City.] [The next day, you pretend to coincidentally meet Jin Congxue outside the city.] [You repeat your old trick, asking Jin Congxue for Buddhist teachings and gaining the opportunity to travel with her.] [You take a shortcut back to the city through a small path and accidentally discover the "Qingyun Spirit Field" instance.] [You enter the "Qingyun Spirit Field" instance.] [You accept the task from the elder in the instance, and you start farming.] [Since you seriously crammed some farming knowledge, the Spirit Grains in your Spirit Field grew better than before.] [In your spare time, you strive to improve your Cultivation level, teach Jin Congxue farming knowledge, and also channel Wood-attribute Spiritual Energy to help Jin Congxue farm.] [Jin Congxue''s fondness for you greatly increases, and you become good friends.] [On the day the task is to be submitted, the elder gives Jin Congxue fifteen Spirit Stones, along with a reward of ten catties of Spirit Rice.] [The elder asks you to place your hand on a transparent stone. After testing, your talent is still a Mixed Spirit Root.] [The elder sighs and gives you thirty-five Spirit Stones, as well as thirty catties of Spirit Rice.] [You''re not disheartened and wish to take the elder as your master.] [The elder gently shakes his head, bluntly saying your aptitude is too poor and a long life hopeless, and you are asked to leave the instance.] [You stay in Jinling City for more than ten days, becoming as close as Guan and Bao with Jin Congxue.] [You return to Kyoto and continue to start selling equipment.] [Months later, Wang Qingxuan finds you, and you repeat your old trick.] [Five years pass, and your business grows bigger and bigger, amassing a fortune of ten billion.] [You keep the newly acquired thirty-five Spirit Stones and also keep ten catties of Spirit Rice.] [In five years, your Qi Refining Cultivation reaches Great Perfection, and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level ascends to the first level of the Bone Forging Realm.] [Wang Qingxuan finds you again and brings you the first half of the Changchun Technique, you refuse to accept it and ask her to help find the second half.] [In the seventh year, your sister Su Nianan dies, and you attend her funeral.] [In the tenth year, your good friend Yu Yan dies, and you attend his funeral.] [In the eleventh year, the market fluctuates, and your net worth increases tenfold.] [You find Jin Congxue. Over the years, you''ve never lost touch with her and you ask for those fifteen Spirit Stones, which she gives to you without any charge.] [In the fifteenth year, gigantic beasts descend.] [You give the giant beast the middle finger.] [The giant beast swallows the entire Great Xia Country in one bite. You die, aged thirty-six!] ``` [You activated the talent "Death with Eyes Wide Open"] [Ding, the simulation has ended!] [You may choose one of the following rewards: Longevity (Talent), Bone Forging Realm Second Layer (Cultivation Level), Qi Refinement Great Perfection (Cultivation Level), Fifty Spirit Stones (Item), Ten Jin of Spirit Rice (Item)] Su Xing took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked at the rewards. [Longevity]: Green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points. [Bone Forging Realm Second Layer]: Cultivation level, priced at 2,000 energy points. [Qi Refinement Great Perfection]: Cultivation level, priced at 900 energy points. [Fifty Spirit Stones]: Item, priced at 50,000 energy points. [Ten Jin of Spirit Rice]: Item, priced at 10,000 energy points. Su Xing unhesitatingly chose the reward of fifty Spirit Stones, although spending 50,000 energy points made him feel quite pained, he deemed the Spirit Stones a must-have. Afterward, Su Xing turned his attention to the description of the Spirit Rice. [Spirit Rice]: Rice nourished by Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Springs, sweet and delicious, long-term consumption can improve constitution, enhance physical strength, and prolong life. Upon seeing the introduction to Spirit Rice, Su Xing''s face showed an expression of "just as I thought". The reason he had been able to break through to the Bone Forging Realm originated from this Spirit Rice. However, this time in the simulation he lost the Fitness Expert talent, so his simulated realm was not as good as before. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It looks like the plan needs to change, it''s not just Spirit Stones; I also have to accumulate some Spirit Rice" Su Xing mused, narrowing his eyes. "Doo doo doo~" Just then, the ringtone of Su Xing''s phone rang. "Hello, Senior Su, do you have an appointment this afternoon? I would like to ask you to take us leveling!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing nodded and said, "Sure, call Wang Qingxuan as well, I''ll take her to level up too!" "Okay, Senior!" Su Xing packed up and was ready to go out. Soon, at the appointed place, he saw six or seven junior sisters dressed to impress. And there was Wang Qingxuan, hiding behind the crowd, feeling somewhat inferior. Wang Qingxuan stood in the farthest corner, occasionally stealing glances at Su Xing, her pretty face slightly flushed. Su Xing pretended not to know and continued to farm monsters as usual. During this time, Su Xing would occasionally call on Wang Qingxuan to join him in the dungeons when he was leveling others, even allowing her to owe him and pay him back later. Naturally, the purpose was to maintain a good relationship with Wang Qingxuan, as her clue about the mysterious organization was key, being related to the latter half of the Changchun Technique, although Su Xing didn''t have time to deal with it for now. According to Su Xing''s findings, Wang Qingxuan should not have been in contact with the mysterious organization yet, and her actual contact with the organization would likely be in ten months'' time. But that didn''t affect Su Xing grinding for favorability! After all, it would come in handy one day. Time flew by quickly, and a week had quietly passed. Su Xing''s income for that week was still just under half a million, all of which was converted by Su Xing into simulation energy. New Era, October 28, 2023, Su Xing prepared for the simulation in his dorm room. "Start the simulation!" [You have used 800 energy points, with a remaining energy balance of 208,700 points, and unlimited simulations left.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, do you want to draw?] "Draw a green talent." Su Xing was still hoping to try his luck, as a green-quality Spiritual Root talent was very important to him. [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the green talent, Sword Dao Genius!] (ps: To clarify a bit, the Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon, according to the information obtained by the protagonist, is a time-limited dungeon that will disappear after a month... Once the dungeon disappears, from the protagonist''s perspective, there would be no other sources to obtain Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice, which makes it a top priority~) ``` Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Green Talent, A Face Like Guan Xi! ```[Sword Dao Prodigy]: Green talentyou naturally have a greater understanding of the sword than the average person, showing considerable talent in the practice of swordsmanship. ``` ``` Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows as he looked at this talent and sighed softly, "It''s a pity, Sword Dao talent is a good one... but as for the current me, it''s of no use." ``` ``` Improving his Spiritual Root aptitude or accumulating more cultivation resources was the urgent matter at hand for Su Xing. ``` ``` [In the dormitory, you take out a Spirit Stone and begin your cultivation.] ``` ``` [You know there are more than twenty days left before the Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon opens, thus you spend most of your time on cultivation and learning farming knowledge.] ``` ``` [Twenty days later, your cultivation level has barely broken through to the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm.] ``` ``` [On November 18th, you set off for Jinling City.] ``` ``` [The next day, you encounter Jin Congxue by chance, and after showcasing your abilities, you successfully find the Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon.] ``` ``` [You enter the Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon.] ``` ``` [You accepted the task of farming; you diligently work on the fields as usual, sparing time to help Jin Congxue with the farming when you can.] ``` ``` [One week later, the elder issues your task rewards.] ``` ``` [You receive a reward of 40 Spirit Stones and 40 jin of Spirit Rice.] ``` ``` [You request the elder to exchange the Spirit Stones for Spirit Rice.] ``` ``` [The elder agrees, and you receive 80 jin of Spirit Rice.] ``` ``` [After leaving the dungeon, you stay in Jinling City for a few days and then return to Kyoto.] ``` ``` [You go back to your old business of trading equipment, continuing to gather capital.] ``` ``` [You focus more on enhancing your Qi Refining Cultivation, not using even a bit of the 80 jin of Spirit Rice.] ``` ``` [Five years later, you are expelled from school, but by then you are worth over a hundred million, and with an ample supply of Spirit Stones, your cultivation level reaches Great Perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm.] ``` ``` [In the seventh year, your sister dies, and you attend her funeral.] ``` ``` [In the tenth year, Fatty Yu passes away, and you attend his funeral.] ``` ``` [In the eleventh year, market fluctuations cause your net worth to increase tenfold.] ``` ``` [In the fifteenth year, within the month before the attack of the giant beast, your cultivation breaks through.] ``` ``` [You successfully advance to a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, with a lifespan of two hundred years.] ``` ``` [A month later, the giant beast attacks.] ``` ``` [You flip the giant beast the middle finger...] ``` ``` [You die, aged thirty-six.] ``` ``` [You trigger the talent "Unyielding Eyes"] ``` ``` [Ding, this simulation has ended!] ``` ``` [You may choose one reward from the following: Sword Dao Prodigy (Talent), Foundation Establishment Level 1 (Cultivation Level), 80 jin of Spirit Rice (Item).] ``` ``` [Sword Dao Prodigy]: Green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points. ``` ``` [Foundation Establishment Level 1]: Cultivation level, priced at 1,000 energy points. ``` ``` [80 jin of Spirit Rice]: Item, priced at 80,000 energy points. ``` ``` Without much hesitation, Su Xing chose the reward of 80 jin of Spirit Rice. ``` ``` Su Xing''s simulation energy was drastically reduced, leaving only just over 120,000. ``` ``` But at the same time, a bag of Spirit Rice appeared in Su Xing''s hands. ``` ``` The Spirit Rice was translucent and well-defined; each grain was as smooth and full as polished white jade. ``` ``` Su Xing picked up a grain of Spirit Rice and tasted it raw. ``` ``` It wasn''t as bitter as he had imagined, in fact, it was even tastier than cooked rice from the mundane world by a margin. ``` ``` At the same time, a thread of Spiritual Energy entered Su Xing''s body, improving his constitution. ``` ``` After tasting just a single grain, Su Xing reluctantly stowed away the bag of Spirit Rice. ``` ``` Delicious as the Spirit Rice was, using it now would have been like quenching thirst with poison, cutting off his own future prospects. ``` ``` Only by eating in the simulator and then purchasing cultivation levels at a low price could Su Xing maximize their use. "Indeed, even with a talent of Mixed Spirit Root of the Five Elements, as long as one has enough spirit stones, one can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!" Excitement began to swell in Su Xing''s heart, knowing that a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm would definitely increase his strength tremendously. However, Su Xing currently couldn''t bring back cultivation levels from the simulator, because he needed to stockpile plenty of spirit stones. After all, only by having a sufficient amount of spirit stones could he achieve greater progress in the simulator. The only thing Su Xing felt a bit regretful about was that he had to temporarily give up the green talent of Sword Dao Prodigious Talent, which was clearly extraordinary. "Just hope I get the chance to draw it once again later..." Su Xing took out a spirit stone and began cultivating. He now had ninety-two and a half spirit stones on hand, so using one or two wasn''t a big deal. More importantly, Su Xing realized if he didn''t start cultivating now, he might still be at the Qi Refinement first level when entering the "Spirit Field Dungeon" side quest. And the farming speed at the Qi Refinement first level was obviously too slow, so Su Xing had to ensure his cultivation level would be at least at the Qi Refinement fourth level by then to receive more rewards. For the following week, Su Xing devoted most of his energy to improving his cultivation level and learning farming knowledge. Of course, he occasionally took some newbies through dungeons to level up and support himself. In a week''s time, Su Xing used half a spirit stone and successfully advanced to the Qi Refinement second level. New Era 2023, November 4th. On this day, Su Xing started his ninth simulation. "Begin simulation!" [900 energy points consumed, remaining energy 120,000 points, limitless remaining simulations.] [Simulation has begun!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, would you like to draw?] "Draw a green talent" Su Xing took a deep breath, counting this time, he only had three chances left to possibly draw a green Spiritual Root talent before the opening of the Spirit Field Dungeon. [Ding, congratulations! You''ve obtained the green talent, Face like a Celestial!] Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Face like a Celestial]: Your appearance is exquisitely handsome, greatly increasing your attractiveness to the opposite sex, and your talent in photography has significantly improved. Su Xing: "..." Damn it, what''s the use of this talent for me! This is the world of cultivation! Not some urban conquest game! Su Xing instantly burst into complaints. [In your dorm room, you unconsciously looked at yourself in the mirror and were stunned by your own handsomeness.] [That afternoon, you took some junior sisters through the dungeon to level up. They were distracted, always sneaking glances at you.] [Among them, Wang Qingxuan sneaked peeks at you 278 times throughout the afternoon.] [In the following period, you kept receiving invitations from junior sisters asking you to take them through dungeons, and even some second-year girls wished for you to lead them.] [Feeling rather annoyed, you turned down all their requests.] [When you went to the cafeteria for a meal, a female classmate asked for your WeChat.] [There was even a scout who invited you to enter showbiz, offering a handsome fee.] [With your mind totally focused on cultivation, you successfully advance to the Qi Refinement fourth level in the following ten-plus days.] [On November 18, 2023, of the New Era, you traveled to Jinling City.] [On the plane, a flight attendant asked for your WeChat and gifted you a cup of orange juice.] [Upon reaching Jinling City, the next day, you chanced upon Jin Congxue outside the city.] [Jin Congxue was stunned at first when she saw you, her pretty face blushed, and she subconsciously wanted to turn her head away, not daring to look at you.] [You seized the opportunity to ask Jin Congxue for directions, she led you on a shortcut, where you encountered the Spirit Heaven Dungeon.] [You successfully entered the Spirit Field Dungeon.] ``` Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Breakthrough of the Spiritual Root, Wood and Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root! [Inside the instance, the elder praised you as people of deep fortune, handed out a task to you, and gave you a few extra glances.][For a week, you continuously used Spiritual Energy to ripen the Spirit Grains and helped Jin Congxue in your spare time.] [Jin Congxue gradually fell for you.] [A week later, the elder distributed the task rewards to you.] [The elder complimented your good looks and gave you an extra ten Spirit Stones, you obtained 50 Spirit Stones, as well as 40 jin of Spirit Rice.] [You asked the elder to exchange the Spirit Rice for Spirit Stones, and the elder agreed, you got 90 Spirit Stones.] Su Xing saw this and several black lines appeared on his forehead as he complained, "Sure enough, it''s a world where looks matter. Not to mention strong individuals like Jin Congxue judging by appearance... even those in the cultivation world value looks!" Su Xing continued with the simulation. [Moved by a thought, you wanted to ask the elder to take you as a disciple, but the elder slightly shook his head, saying your talents were too poor and rejected your request.] [Helpless, you left the instance, and Jin Congxue was waiting for you outside the city. She confessed her feelings to you, telling you that she had never been in a relationship and had fallen for you at first sight.] [After some thought, you agreed to Jin Congxue''s confession and the two of you lived in Jinling City for a while.] [You returned to Kyoto, and Jin Congxue told you she would come to find you and gave you all her 15 Spirit Stones.] [Back in Kyoto, you diligently practiced cultivation, occasionally going into instances to lead newcomers to level up.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan found you and informed you about a mysterious organization.] [After one night, Wang Qingxuan dropped out of school.] [In the second year, you practiced cultivation diligently, your cultivation level grew constantly, and you broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm.] [In the third year, you simultaneously practiced cultivation and led female newcomers in instances to level up, your services were in high demand, and you increased your order prices.] [In the fourth year, you set up an equipment shop to sell secondhand gear, and your store was bustling, mostly with female customers.] [In the fifth year, your business grew bigger and even some female bosses from the same industry wanted to "support" you.] [In the same year, your cultivation level rose to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refinement Realm.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan found you, and you repeated your old trick, asking her to help you find the second half of the Changchun Technique.] [In the seventh year, your sister died, and you attended her funeral.] [In the tenth year, your good brother Yu Yan died, and you attended his funeral.] [In the eleventh year, you successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.] [In the fifteenth year, a behemoth descended.] [You raised your middle finger at it.] [The behemoth devoured the entire Great Xia Country, you died at the age of thirty-six.] [Your talent "Unable to Rest in Peace After Death" activated...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] [You may choose one of the following rewards: Face like a Crown Prince (Talent), Foundation Establishment Second Layer (Cultivation Level), 105 Spirit Stones (Item)] [Face like a Crown Prince]: A green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points. [Foundation Establishment Second Layer]: Cultivation level, priced at 1,500 energy points. [105 Spirit Stones]: An item, priced at 10.5k energy points. Seeing the outcome of this future simulation, Su Xing felt a wave of embarrassment. "Damn it, is this world really all about looks? Handsome people have it all their way, huh!" Suppressing the desire to choose the "Face like a Crown Prince" talent, Su Xing selected the third reward of 105 Spirit Stones. A bag of Spirit Stones appeared in Su Xing''s hand. Now, Su Xing''s count of Spirit Stones had reached 195! ``` However, Su Xing''s energy points had also dwindled to a mere fifteen thousand. "Sigh, this energy really isn''t enough to spend!" Su Xing shook his head slightly, obviously he could no longer exchange for Spirit Stones, resource that required heavy spending. "After all, it''s still a lack of energy!" Su Xing lamented. Thus, in the following week, Su Xing, motivated by his poverty, transformed into a grinding emperor! During the day, Su Xing diligently took on leveling orders to earn more money for preparations and to exchange for energy. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. By night, Su Xing began his practice in the dormitory. In this way, with less than four hours of sleep each day, Su Xing made a breakthrough to the third layer of the Qi Refinement realm in a week and earned more than seven hundred thousand Great Xia Coins. Su Xing used all the transferred money to purchase equipment, and finally, he barely managed to gather 20,000 points of energy. On November 11, 2023, in the new era, Su Xing performed his technique in the dormitory. "Blessed be the Mysterious Yellow Celestial, please let me acquire a green-quality Spiritual Root!" Su Xing prayed continuously in his heart, after all, before the instance opened, he only had two more simulation opportunities left. When the minute and second hands of the clock both pointed to eight, Su Xing, with sincere heart, silently incanted: "Begin simulation!" [This simulation will consume 1000 points of energy, remaining energy 19040 points, no more simulation opportunities.] [Simulation Starting!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 points of energy, a green talent costs 1000 points of energy, do you wish to draw?] "Draw the green talent," Su Xing said without any hesitation. It seemed that the Mysterious Yellow Celestial had shown its miracle, as Su Xing''s metaphysics finally took effect. A pleasant voice rang in Su Xing''s ears. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green talent, Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root!] [Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root]: Green talent, your cultivation aptitude far exceeds that of an ordinary person, no longer the lowliest Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root, you possess the Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root, capable of practicing Wood and Fire type cultivation techniques. Seeing the new talent he had drawn, Su Xing clenched his fists with excitement, making a popping sound. "It''s here, it''s finally here! A green-quality Spiritual Root talent!" Su Xing took a deep breath, and, restraining the excitement in his heart, chose to continue the simulation. [In the dormitory, you notice something unusual about your body, the Dual-type Spiritual Root makes your senses keener.] [You take out a Spirit Stone and begin your practice; in just one day, your cultivation level breaks through to the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement realm, your training speed is now a full ten times faster than before!] Su Xing, seeing this, sighed emotionally: "Indeed, cultivation really depends on talent! The lowest-level Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root would take ten years just to barely break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm... If it''s a Dual-type Spiritual Root, perhaps a year would be enough!" But what Su Xing did not know was, above the Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root were the Four Elements Mixed Spiritual Root, the Tri-type Spiritual Root... And the Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root that Su Xing had drawn, in the Cultivation World, could also be considered the level of a minor genius cultivator, which is why he had such astonishing cultivation speed. Su Xing continued to read on. [You spend a week to raise your cultivation to the fifth layer of the Qi Refinement period, and the Spiritual Energy inside your body is more abundant.] [On the day of November 18, you head towards Jinling City and wait quietly outside the city for Jin Congxue''s arrival.] [The next day, you encounter Jin Congxue outside Jinling City and ask her to teach you Buddhism, earning the qualification to accompany her.] [She takes you on a shortcut back to Jinling City, and on the way, you discover the entrance to the "Azure Cloud Spirit Field" instance.] [You enter the Azure Cloud Spirit Field instance!] ``` Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Immortal Technique, Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique! [The spiritual energy within the copy was abundant, and when you took a deep breath, you felt every cell in your body emitting sounds of joy.][You and Jin Congxue walked toward the thatched cottage in the distance, and after knocking on the door, a child-faced, white-haired elder appeared.] [The elder praised you both as people of profound fortune and presented you with the task of farming the Spirit Fields.] [You and Jin Congxue each received a plot of Spirit Field to cultivate.] [Due to your breakthrough to the fifth layer of Qi Refinement, your internal spiritual energy was more abundant, which made the growth of your Spirit Field particularly good.] [In your spare time, you taught Jin Congxue the knowledge of farming and helped him hasten the maturity of the Spirit Grains.] [You and Jin Congxue gradually became good friends.] [On the day the task was to be submitted, the elder rewarded Jin Congxue with 20 Spirit Stones and 20 catties of Spirit Rice.] [After Jin Congxue left the copy, the elder called you aside alone.] [The elder took out a talent-assessment stone and asked you to place your hand on it.] [You placed your hand on it, and the stone displayed flickering green and red lights.] [The elder nodded with a smile, praising your talent as extraordinary and seeing hope in your journey to the Immortal Path.] [The elder took out a Jade Slip and a bag of seeds for you, saying that your Wood-type spiritual energy was very suited to cultivating Spirit Fields, and that if you mastered Fire-type cultivation techniques, you had a chance to embark on the path of Alchemy.] [You did not accept the elder''s reward but instead wished to become his disciple.] [After hearing this, the elder shook his head slightly, saying that you didn''t complete his task and that you had started too late in the Cultivation years, missing the prime age for pursuing the path of Immortal Cultivation.] [With no choice left, you took the Jade Slip and the seeds and left the copy.] [You stayed in Jinling City for a few days and became close friends with Jin Congxue.] [After a few days, you returned to Kyoto Polytechnical and began to study the Jade Slip and the seeds given by the elder.] [You channeled Spiritual Energy into the Jade Slip and learned that it contained an Immortal Technique called the "Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique," which detailed the cultivation methods and wonderful uses of thousands of Spirit Plants, and also included thirteen minor spells for nurturing Spirit Plants.] [After months of research, you still couldn''t grasp even the basics, realizing the profundity of the "Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique."] [In the days that followed, you studied this Immortal Technique while cultivating.] [A year passed, and your Qi Refining Cultivation broke through to the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.] [You gained some insight into the "Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique" and learned the method of cultivating Spirit Grains.] [In the second year, you took the initiative to drop out from school, left Kyoto City, and returned to your rural hometown.] [With the little savings you had, you rented a hillside in the countryside, believing that the fresher air deep in the mountains was more suitable for planting Spirit Plants.] [You cleared two acres of wasteland and began to plant Spirit Grains.] [You attempted to learn the Spirit Gathering Array, one of the thirteen minor decrees from the "Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique," hoping to transform these two acres of fertile land into Spirit Fields.] [You failed and didn''t learn the Spirit Gathering Array.] [With no other option, you settled for the next best thing, burying Spirit Stones in the fertile land to slowly improve the soil.] [Soon, three years had passed.] [In the fifth year, through your hard work, the soil in the mountains slowly turned into a Spirit Field, albeit one that required spending ten Spirit Stones each month to maintain, a fact that pained you greatly.] [The quality of the Spirit Field was poor, so the resulting Spirit Grains were of inconsistent quality, but they still produced a fair amount of Spirit Rice.] [In the sixth year, you harvested the Spirit Grains from the two acres, processed them into Spirit Rice, and obtained a thousand catties of inferior-quality Spirit Rice.] [Though this Spirit Rice was only of inferior quality, it was still powerful enough to break through your current stage of cultivation.] [You dedicated a year to deep cultivation, consuming hundreds of catties of Spirit Rice, and successfully breaking through to the Bone Forging Realm in Body Refinement Cultivation.] [In the seventh year, you attended the funeral of your sister Su Nianan.] [Not long after the funeral, you returned to the mountain to continue cultivating the Spirit Fields, resembling an old farmer in the mountains.] [Every day, wielding a hoe, you worked from sunrise to sunset, often so engrossed in studying Immortal Techniques that you neglected sleep and meals.] [In the eighth year, the number of Spirit Stones in your hands continued to dwindle, leaving you with only a dozen or so.] [You attempted to bury the husks of the Spirit Grains in the Spirit Field to maintain its Spiritual Energy, but the results were minimal.] [You reduced your two mu of fields to half a mu, and only occasionally used a Spirit Stone to replenish the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Field.] [Your cultivation in nurturing Spirit Plants improved swiftly, and you gained some insight into the minor Spirit Gathering Array.] [In the tenth year, you attended Yu Yan''s funeral.] Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After the funeral, you didn''t rush back, but instead sought out Jin Congxue.] [You traded a hundred jin of inferior Spirit Rice for 20 Spirit Stones from her.] [Jin Congxue wanted to hold you back, but you were intent on farming; after lingering for a few days, you still returned to your old home.] [Before you knew it, another five years had passed, bringing you to the fifteenth year.] [Over the past five years, you learned how to cultivate Spirit Grains and several kinds of Spiritual Medicine, and through your tireless effort, you finally mastered the basics of the minor Spirit Gathering Array.] [Thanks to your years of consuming Spirit Rice and tempering your physique day and night, your Qi Refining cultivation broke through to the third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and your Body Refinement Cultivation level broke through to the seventh layer of the Bone Forging Realm.] [One day, while planting in the field, you noticed the sky darken.] [You looked up to see that giant beast covering the sky.] [You raised your middle finger towards the giant beast, hope still alive in your eyes.] [You died!] [You activated your innate skill, Refusing to Close Your Eyes in Death...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] [You may choose one of the following rewards: Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root (Talent), third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm (Cultivation Level), seventh layer of the Bone Forging Realm (Cultivation Level), Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Immortal Technique), fifty jin of inferior Spirit Rice (Item), the farming insights from the simulation (Insight)] [Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root]: Green-rated talent, priced at 10,000 energy points. [Third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm]: Cultivation Level, priced at 2,700 energy points. [Seventh layer of the Bone Forging Realm]: Cultivation Level, priced at 7,500 energy points. [Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique]: Immortal Technique, priced at 1 billion energy points. [Fifty jin of inferior Spirit Rice]: Item, priced at 25,000 energy points. [Farming insights from the simulation]: Insight, priced at 10,000 energy points. After a long silence, Su Xing finally came back to his senses from the simulation and muttered, "This simulation... really was full of gains!" It could be said that in this simulation, Su Xing took a completely different path than his previous money-making endeavors. In the simulator, he became a farming fanatic, beginning to cultivate Spirit Plants crazily, and this revealed a new path for Su Xing to explore. What made Su Xing even more astonished was that in this simulation, he actually acquired an Immortal Technique, the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique! Although it wasn''t a technique or Divine Skill for increasing strength, this Spiritual Nurturing Technique was extremely precious to Su Xing. In the past, Su Xing only had Spiritual Energy and Mana, but no Spells or Divine Skills. This Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique was evidently very precious, with its price reaching an astonishing 1 billion energy points. "This Spiritual Nurturing Technique is really expensive, but the more expensive it is the more it shows the power of this technique!" thought Su Xing. Moreover, what surprised Su Xing was the appearance of a new kind of reward in the simulation, Insight! This meant that Su Xing could spend a large amount of time learning a Spell and then bring that insight out of the simulation, saving him a lot of time in understanding Spells. "In the end, I still have to choose it in this simulation!" said Su Xing, with a slight smile on his lips. Chapter 17: Chapter 17: The Last Simulation, Foundation Establishment Rank 9! "I choose to bring out my talent, dual-type wood and fire Spiritual Root!"[Ding, you have chosen to take the dual-type wood and fire Spiritual Root (green talent) back from the simulation, consuming 10,000 energy points, remaining energy 8040 points.] [Ding, it has been detected that you already have a holder of the same type of white talent Spiritual Root, the wood and fire dual-type Spiritual Root talent will overwrite it.] The blessing of the dual-type wood and fire Spiritual Root made Su Xing''s five senses much sharper. Su Xing took out a Spirit Stone for cultivation and could clearly feel the refreshing sensation when the Spiritual Energy entered his body. "Huff... As expected of a dual-type Spiritual Root, the efficiency of cultivation is much higher than before!" The corners of Su Xing''s mouth lifted slightly, having this dual-type Spiritual Root meant that Su Xing could at least receive the special reward from the mysterious elder. A bag of spirit seeds and the "Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique." The Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, that''s an Immortal Technique worth ten billion energy points! Keep in mind that the half-set of Changchun Technique Su Xing had obtained before was only worth 3000 energy points. This reflects the preciousness of the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique. But at the same time, Su Xing also fell into deep thought. The elder had a mysterious origin and possessed such precious Immortal Techniques, he must be a great power in the Cultivation World, and if Su Xing could take him as a master, he would definitely benefit greatly. sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "The elder said I haven''t yet completed his task, and my cultivation started too late... He didn''t directly refuse to take me as a disciple." "This means that there''s a possibility for me to become his disciple!" Su Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, a vague idea forming in his heart. Now, Su Xing still had one more chance to simulate, and he could give it another try. But before experimenting with this idea, Su Xing needed to accumulate more energy to support it. "Alas, only a little over eight thousand energy points left, to bring back what I want... I still need to save up several thousand more points." Although Su Xing had a cheat, the future looked promising. Yet, at present, he was just a lamentable brick mover. After finishing his cultivation, Su Xing contacted a few younger female classmates to prepare for leveling in a dungeon. In the following week, Su Xing''s time was filled with monotonous cultivation and leveling in dungeons. The good news was, after Su Xing broke through in his Qi Refining cultivation, he was able to level and collect equipment in dungeons more quickly. The bad news was, Su Xing almost missed the plane to Jinling City. Fortunately, in the end, Su Xing just barely made it. On the afternoon of November 18, 2023, in the New Era, Su Xing boarded the plane to Jinling City. Thousands of miles separate Kyoto from Jinling City, and Su Xing would be on the plane for four or five hours. After boarding the plane, Su Xing closed his eyes to rest, but in reality, he was preparing for his last simulation before entering the "Qingyun Spirit Field" dungeon. "Begin simulation!" [Consuming 1100 energy points, remaining energy 13780 points, no more simulation chances remaining.] [Simulation initiated!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, would you like to draw one?] "Draw the white talent." Su Xing chose the white talent, as his goal for this simulation was already set, which was to bring out cultivation. Spending another 1000 energy points to draw a green talent would be wasteful. Energy points were incredibly precious, so Su Xing naturally wanted to spend them wisely. The mysterious elder initially said that his entry into cultivation was too late, which clearly meant Su Xing''s cultivation was too low. Perhaps, if Su Xing could enhance his cultivation a bit more, he would be able to pass the task assessment. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the white talent, Resolute Appearance!] [Resolute Appearance]: You appear resolute and upright to others, making it easier to gain their trust. Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this talent; while not terribly good or bad, it was still somewhat useful. [On the plane, you realize that you are simulating. You take a short nap to relieve the fatigue from several days and nights of leveling for others.] [That evening, you arrive in Jinling City, where you find a place outside the city to cultivate overnight.] [The next day, you began looking for Jin Congxue''s figure.] [That evening, you encountered Jin Congxue, who was preparing to return to the city.] [You told her you were lost, and seeing your determined expression and that you seemed like a good person, she invited you to return to the city with her.] [Jin Congxue took you down a small path she often traveled, and soon you discovered the "Qingyun Spirit Field" instance.] [You entered Qingyun Spirit Field instance.] [You met a mysterious old man, who handed you the task of farming.] [For the following week, you began to cultivate the fields, using Spiritual Energy to nourish the Spirit Grains. Since your Cultivation Level was at Qi Refinement fifth level, and your Spiritual Power was relatively pure, the Spirit Grains grew well.] [In your spare time, you also helped Jin Congxue take care of the Spirit Field.] [After one week, the mysterious old man handed out rewards to you.] [The old man gave Jin Congxue thirty Spirit Stones and thirty jin of Spirit Rice, then sent her out of the instance.] [The old man took out a stone that tested for aptitude, and you discovered you had a Dual-type Spiritual Root of wood and fire.] [The old man nodded with a smile and rewarded you with a bag of spiritual seeds along with the Immortal Technique, Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique.] [You wished to take the old man as your master, but he refused.] [Not giving up, you asked him what the requirements were to become his disciple.] [The old man sighed and said that while your talent was decent, your Cultivation Level was too low. Had you been a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, he might have considered taking you as a disciple.] [You nodded and asked the old man if you could exchange the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique for a reward of Spirit Stones.] [The old man furrowed his brows slightly, thinking you didn''t recognize the true value, but still gave you a thousand Spirit Stones.] Su Xing''s face brightened as he murmured to himself, "As I thought, it''s because my Cultivation Level is too low... If I can show enough potential, perhaps I could be taken as a disciple by that mysterious old man!" Su Xing continued to read on, his mood excited. [You left the instance with Spirit Stones in hand.] [A few days later, you returned to Kyoto University and began to diligently cultivate day and night.] [Because you possessed a Dual-type Spiritual Root of wood and fire, your Cultivation Level advanced rapidly.] [The second year, you broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage Level One, becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.] [The third year, your Cultivation Level broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage Level Two, and you had 1000 Spirit Stones left.] [The fifth year, you successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage Level Four, with only 700 Spirit Stones remaining.] [The seventh year, your Cultivation Level continued to improve, and you became a Foundation Establishment Stage Level Six Cultivator, with only 300 Spirit Stones left.] [You realized that with your current rate of cultivation, your remaining Spirit Stones wouldn''t be enough to support your rise to the Golden Core Stage.] [So you began to stretch your Spirit Stones as far as they could go, converting them into Spiritual Power Cultivation as efficiently as possible.] [That year, you attended the funeral of your younger sister, Su Nianan.] [The eighth year, since you saved Spirit Stones, your Cultivation Level progressed slowly, and you were still at Foundation Establishment Stage Level Six.] [The ninth year, you successfully advanced to become a Foundation Establishment Stage Level Seven Cultivator.] [The tenth year, you attended the funeral of your close brother, Yu Yan.] [The eleventh year, your Cultivation Level advanced to Foundation Establishment Stage Level Eight, and you had only 100 Spirit Stones left.] [You remembered that Jin Congxue still had thirty Spirit Stones of yours, but over the years, engrossed in cultivation, you didn''t keep in touch with her.] [Therefore, you spent half a year frantically running instances, playing professional leveling services, and earning money.] [Because of your outstanding abilities, Silver Level instances were a piece of cake for you, and you earned two hundred million in just half a year.] [You found Jin Congxue, intending to use those two hundred million to buy her Spirit Stones.] [Jin Congxue agreed, as those Spirit Stones were of little use to her.] [With just 130 Spirit Stones left, you began to cultivate day and night, carefully managing the Spiritual Energy in every Spirit Stone.] [In the fifteenth year, two months before the coming of the behemoths, you successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment Stage Level Nine!] Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Cultivation Level Feedback, Foundation Establishment 9th Layer! [Two months later, a monstrous beast descended upon Great Xia Country.][You gave the monstrous beast the middle finger.] [The monstrous beast swallowed the entire Great Xia Country whole, and you died!] S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You activated your talent, Unwilling to Die with Eyes Closed...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] [You may choose one of the following rewards: Resolute Countenance (Talent), Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Stage (Cultivation Level)] [Resolute Countenance]: A white talent, priced at 1000 points of energy. [Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Stage]: Cultivation level, priced at 9800 points of energy. "Only cultivated up to the Ninth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, huh..." Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows, remembering the elder''s requirement to break through to the Golden Core Stage to become his disciple. But even in this simulation, despite Su Xing becoming a cultivation maniac, he had still been unable to break through to the Golden Core Stage due to the lack of Spirit Stones. "Well, there''s always a way when you reach the mountain..." Su Xing sighed, then unhesitatingly chose the cultivation level. [Ding, you chose to bring out the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation level from the simulation, expending 9800 points of energy, remaining energy 3880 points...] As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of Su Xing''s cultivation level began to surge dramatically. Qi Refinement fifth layer... Qi Refinement seventh layer... Qi Refinement Realm Great Perfection! Crack~ The bottleneck between the Qi Refinement Realm and the Foundation Establishment Stage was effortlessly pierced through, and Su Xing became a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage! But this was far from the end! Foundation Establishment second layer... Foundation Establishment fourth layer... Su Xing''s cultivation level continued to explosively rise until it gradually stopped at the Ninth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage. "Phew~" Su Xing gently exhaled a breath of foul air and carefully felt the changes in his body. His five senses seemed to become sharper, allowing him to hear the faint breathing of passengers dozens of meters away. At the same time, Su Xing''s spirit also became more vigorous; going three to five days without sleep had no effect on him whatsoever. What''s more significant was that Su Xing felt the mana and Spiritual Energy within his body had undergone earth-shaking changes. If the mana at Qi Refinement fifth layer was akin to a bucket of water, then after breaking through to the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Stage, the mana within Su Xing could be compared to a well! That was an increase by dozens or even a hundredfold! Besides, it seemed as though Su Xing''s physical strength had also slightly enhanced. "What a pity, I now possess ample mana... but lack cultivation techniques and cultivator''s methods..." Su Xing lightly shook his head and murmured to himself. For a cultivator, even though mana cultivation level is fundamental, the true strength of a cultivator comes from offensive scriptures, alchemy, artifact refining, talismans, and various divine skills. Now, Su Xing had ample mana but lacked many methods, similar to a job class with high attributes but devoid of any skills, impractical! However, fortunately, the elder in the Spirit Field instance within Qingyun must have had many immortal methods. Su Xing''s longing for the Qingyun Spirit Field instance grew even stronger. After the significant increase in cultivation level, Su Xing started to inspect his system panel. [Name: Su Xing] [Occupation: Cultivator (Unique Hidden Occupation)] [Cultivation Level: Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Stage, Body Refinement Realm Great Perfection] [Cultivation Technique: Changchun Technique] [Talent: Dual-type Spiritual Root of Wood and Fire, Unwilling to Die with Eyes Closed...] [Skills: None] [Equipment: Bi-blood Longsword (Green), Thorn Chain Mail (Green), Qingyun Longboots (Green)] With the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Stage coupled with the Great Perfection of the Body Refinement Realm, Su Xing could look down upon the vast majority of Silver Level professionals. Feeling comforted by the surge in cultivation level, Su Xing started to meditate and rest with eyes closed. Several hours later, the plane landed in Jinling City. Su Xing did not delay, and after leaving the airport, he swiftly made his way towards the western outskirts of Jinling. As dusk fell, Su Xing simply found a large tree and began to cultivate under it. The night passed without incident. The next day, Su Xing started to look for traces of Jin Congxue. "According to the simulation''s hints, I should encounter Jin Congxue this afternoon... and since I don''t know where that pathway is, I still need Jin Congxue to lead the way," Su Xing began searching outside the city. By dusk, Su Xing saw a slim figure approaching from a distance. A thought crossed Su Xing''s mind; this might be Jin Congxue. As the woman drew closer, Su Xing got a clear view of her appearance. Clad in a red garment, her black hair draped over her shoulders, with fair skin and a graceful figure, she looked like a woman in her early twenties, brimming with youthfulness yet not lacking in charm. "Tsk, tsk, who would have guessed Jin Congxue is already thirty years old..." Su Xing blinked and then pretended to brush past Jin Congxue. "Hello, I''m a traveler from out of town, I got lost outside Jinling City, could you help me find my way?" Su Xing tried to make himself look as amiable as possible. Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue frowned slightly and pointed in a direction, but she had no intention of leading the way for Su Xing. A sense of trouble dawned on Su Xing; he had overlooked that in the previous simulations he had the "resolute face" attribute that easily roused favorability. But now, he didn''t have those talents! "Looks like I have to resort to plan B..." Su Xing nodded in thanks, then pretended to accidentally drop the bag on his shoulder, and several ancient Buddhist scriptures slipped and fell to the ground. These were expensive Buddhist texts Su Xing had purchased at a high price. "Come on, talk to me, please talk to me!" Su Xing inwardly prayed. Sure enough, Jin Congxue''s attention was caught, and she took the initiative to help Su Xing pick up these texts. "These are rare original scriptures... You seem to have quite a knowledge of Buddhism?" Jin Congxue blinked and asked. Accepting the texts, Su Xing shook his head and said: "I wouldn''t say I''m very knowledgeable, it''s just a hobby of mine." Jin Congxue''s eyes glistened as she carefully scrutinized Su Xing and suggested: "I happen to be heading back to Jinling City too, why don''t we go together?" Su Xing feigned hesitation for a moment, then nodded: "Sure, it''s more convenient to have company." Su Xing and Jin Congxue set off towards Jinling City. During the journey, Jin Congxue and Su Xing discussed knowledge related to the Buddhist scriptures. While Su Xing was not deep in his studies, he always managed to share some interesting Buddhist anecdotes, eliciting continuous smiles from Jin Congxue. While passing through a forest, Jin Congxue volunteered: "Su Xing, I know of a shortcut through here to Jinling City that can save us half an hour... how about we take this path?" Su Xing looked at the forest ahead; it was extremely remote, and if not for Jin Congxue leading the way, he might not find it even after a month of searching. Is it time to enter the cultivation dungeon? Su Xing''s heart thudded. Although he had entered the Qingyun Spirit Field several times in simulations, he had never experienced it firsthand. At this moment, Su Xing was tremendously excited, as if he saw a glorious cultivation path waving at him. "Since that''s the case, let''s take the small path..." Although the area outside the forest looked dark, the path inside was relatively easy to navigate. Su Xing followed Jin Congxue for a few minutes, then suddenly saw a gate flickering with rainbow lights under a tree ahead. Jin Congxue''s eyes widened, and she murmured: "This radiance... it''s likely a temporary dungeon!" Temporary dungeons were a rare type of dungeon that would appear randomly at some place and the amount of time they remained was not fixed. Jin Congxue approached the gate of rainbow lights and said to Su Xing behind her: "I plan to explore this dungeon, so I can''t go back to the city with you... just follow this path straight ahead..." Before she could finish, Su Xing interjected: "I want to go into the dungeon too..." Jin Congxue frowned slightly and said: "I know temporary dungeons come by chance; this represents a big opportunity for both of us." "But the dangers inside are unknown; are you sure you want to go in? I see your level is probably not even Silver Level yet? I may not be able to protect you later..." Despite hearing this, Su Xing firmly expressed his desire to enter, even if death were a possibility. Seeing his determination, Jin Congxue didn''t persist in persuading him but simply told Su Xing to stay close behind her. Su Xing stepped forward and entered the gate of rainbow lights. Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Completing the Task, Becoming a Disciple of Qing Yunzi This was not Su Xing''s first time entering an instance, but never had one been so astonishing to him.At the moment, Su Xing was atop a mountain whose height was unknown, but as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of clouds, as if filled with Immortal Qi. There were a few acres of fields on the mountain, planted with lush Spirit Grains and many medicinal herbs whose names he couldn''t say. And about a hundred meters away from Su Xing, there was a thatched cottage with a well outside. Su Xing took a deep breath, feeling the Spiritual Energy drifting in the air and involuntarily began to circulate his cultivation technique, with the Spiritual Energy continuously nourishing his body. "This truly is a paradise for immortals!" Su Xing murmured, barely able to contain his excitement. Jin Congxue seemed puzzled and said, "I''ve never encountered such an instance before, there might be some monsters hiding around it''s best to be cautious!" After speaking, Jin Congxue began to scout the surroundings, and Su Xing did not stop her. Su Xing pointed toward the thatched cottage and suggested after a while, "Why don''t we take a look at that thatched cottage?" Jin Congxue initially wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded in agreement. Su Xing approached the front of the thatched cottage, knocked a few times, and then quietly waited. Soon after, an elderly man in a Daoist robe with an air of immortality and a youthful yet white-haired appearance opened the door, his face showing a hint of surprise. "How did the two of you find this secluded place of mine?" Su Xing and Jin Congxue exchanged glances and both indicated that they had stumbled upon it by chance. After hearing this, the old man nodded slightly and said, "It seems the two of you have a deep fortune and are fated to meet this poor Daoist!" "Since the two of you are fated, this poor Daoist would like to bestow upon you an opportunity for fortune, what say you?" Su Xing and Jin Congxue nodded in agreement after hearing this. "May I know what the long-mentioned fortune is?" Su Xing pretended not to know and asked. After giving Su Xing a glance and showing a hint of surprise, the old man regained his composure and began to speak slowly, "The two of you, my Spirit Field on this mountain has been left untended for several months, how about you help me take care of it first?" Afterward, Su Xing and Jin Congxue were taken to a Spirit Field. The old man pointed at a small patch of Spirit Field and said, "Young lady, this Spirit Field will be left in your care, alright?" Although Jin Congxue was confused, she still nodded in agreement. "Yes, Daoist Master!" The old man then turned to Su Xing and said, "Young friend, that larger Spirit Field will be left to you, okay?" Su Xing looked at the Spirit Field and then slightly raised an eyebrow. This Spirit Field was obviously more than an acre, probably amounting to two or three acres at a glance. This wasn''t the same size as the simulated Spirit Fields... Where exactly did the change occur? A thought struck Su Xinghe could say that the greatest change was his cultivation level! To have himself sow more fields, was this perhaps a greater test? Su Xing bowed with his hands clasped and said, "Yes, Daoist Master!" Subsequently, the two of them each obtained farming tools and began to tend to the Spirit Field. Su Xing, after all, had grown up in the countryside and had done farm work since he was young, and he had studied a lot about farming in the past month, so he got started quite quickly. However, Jin Congxue was a different story. Not to say she couldn''t tell the five grains apart, but she really couldn''t distinguish between weeds and Spirit Grains. Thus, after finishing his own work, Su Xing started to guide Jin Congxue attentively, teaching her how to weed and how to irrigate. Fortunately, Spirit Grains did not require fertilizer; otherwise, Su Xing would have had to teach her how to apply manure that would have been too embarrassing! After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, Su Xing''s Changchun Technique also broke through to the second layer, with an even more abundant wood-attribute Spiritual Energy within him. Even when tending to two or three acres of land at the same time, Su Xing did not feel tired and even had time to imbue Jin Congxue''s Spirit Grains with Spiritual Energy. The so-called farming with Spiritual Energy is the process of absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the air and then imbuing Spirit Grains with it. In this process, Su Xing became even more adept at mastering Spiritual Energy and Mana. "The water in this well is incredibly sweet~" After finishing the farm work, Su Xing sat by the well and took a sip of the refreshing well water. The water in the well also contained a fair amount of Spiritual Energy and could truly be considered a Spirit Well. "Su Xing... what good does it do us to farm like this?" Jin Congxue, who had worked hard all day, massaged her tired shoulders and complained. Being a city girl, she started with a bit of interest, but after a day of tiring and dirty work, she naturally felt some weariness. Su Xing shook his head slightly after hearing her and said, "I don''t know what rewards there are... But in this copy, the mountains and waters are clear and brimming with Spiritual Energy, and even farming can cultivate one''s temperament." On hearing this, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and said flirtatiously, "Oh, please! But the harder the task, the richer the rewards... This copy''s task is just farming, what kind of good reward can there be?" Even though Jin Congxue said this, she had no intentions of leaving the copy. In a blink of an eye, seven days had passed, and the two or three mu of Spirit Grains Su Xing was responsible for were growing exceptionally well, with all the weeds removed from the field. And the one mu of Spirit Field that Jin Congxue was taking care of, with the help from Su Xing, was also doing quite well. On the evening of the seventh day, the old man called Su Xing and Jin Congxue into the thatched hut. He first took out a bag of Spirit Rice and a small bag of Spirit Stones and gave them to Jin Congxue, saying, "Your Spirit Field is growing nicely. Here are fifty jin of Spirit Rice and fifty Spirit Stones, consider them your reward." After hearing this, Jin Congxue accepted the rewards while also feeling somewhat ashamed as she looked toward Su Xing. She couldn''t farm at all, and with the Spirit Field thriving so well, Su Xing deserved at least sixty percent of the credit! "Thank you, Daoist Master!" After thanking him, the old man waved his hand and sent her out of the copy. Then, the old man looked Su Xing up and down, took out a transparent stone from his chest, and said, "Young friend, would you place your hand upon it, please?" Su Xing''s heart pounded, though he had simulated it several times, but now he couldn''t help feeling nervous. After slowly placing his hand on it, the stone flashed with red and green lights. The old man nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, a dual-attribute Spiritual Root of wood and fire. It might not be as good as a top-grade single Spiritual Root, but you can still embark on the path of cultivation..." After praising him, the old man asked further, "I see you possess cultivation. Do you already have a mentor?" Heart racing, Su Xing thought, this is it! Is he going to take me as his disciple? So, Su Xing shook his head and said, "I have no mentor. I stumbled upon a Cultivation Technique before and rather cluelessly started on the path of cultivation..." After hearing this, the old man nodded slightly and said, "To have broken through to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm by your own exploration, your talents and fortune are indeed extraordinary! And your diligent and complaint-free attitude during farming shows your excellent temperament." "To encounter each other in these vast Three Thousand Worlds must mean we have a predestined connection..." The old man paused for a moment before continuing, "The Cultivation Technique you''ve been practicing belongs to the Changchun Sect, the Changchun Technique. Although the upper limits of this technique are limited, it''s greatly beneficial for cultivators just beginning their journey!" "Moreover, a wood attribute technique gathers the vitality of all things and can return to nature... It''s very suitable for learning the path of nurturing and planting!" At this point, the old man''s face showed a hint of hesitation, but in the end he sighed softly and said, "So be it, to meet is fate~" Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I am a mere farmer of the Qingyun Sect, known as Daoist Qing Yunzi. Would you like to take me as your master?" "I would like to accept you as a registered disciple..." Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Becoming a Disciple of Qing Yunzi, Acquiring the Spirit Field Blessed Land Su Xing had gone through so much trouble for what, if not to take this elder as his master?Although he was only an honorary disciple, the benefits he received were sure to be better than the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique he had previously obtained. Therefore, without hesitation, Su Xing directly performed a salute and said, "Disciple pays respect to Master!" With a smile on his face, Qing Yunzi stroked his long beard and said, "Since you have taken me as your master, I have a few gifts to bestow upon you!" "The first gift is an Immortal Law called the ''Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique,'' which I acquired by chance. Despite my diligent research for a thousand years, I still have not been able to cultivate it to perfection..." "I''ve seen that you have a natural talent for agriculture, so I''m giving you this Immortal Law. If you can cultivate it to perfection, you will have a place in the Three Thousand Worlds!" After speaking, Qing Yunzi handed the jade slip engraved with the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique to Su Xing. "Thank you, Master!" Su Xing took it eagerly. He knew the value of this Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique was worth ten billion points of energy! To think he had now obtained it in the real world without spending any energy at all when he didn''t know how long it would have taken him to save up enough to bring it back from the simulator. Qing Yunzi nodded slightly and continued, "The second gift is this three-inch mini Spirit Field Blessed Land." "Although the space is merely a small mountain a hundred paces in diameter, this mountain is rich in spiritual energy and has clear waters and lush greenery, making it very suitable for you to study the nurturing technique!" As he spoke, Qing Yunzi reached out a finger, and a mark touched Su Xing''s brow, merging into his body. Su Xing felt a connection, now entirely linked with this small world, able to sense every movement within it. "Hiss... does this mean I now directly own this copy? Can I enter and exit at will?" Su Xing was once again astonished by his generous master''s abilities. Qing Yunzi then took out a token and handed it to Su Xing, saying, "The third gift is the Qingyun Token of the Qingyun Sect. Although you are only my honorary disciple, your status in the sect is not low. Once you cultivate to the Return to Void Realm, you can become my official disciple. Then, you may go to the Qingyun Sect in the Qingyun Realm on your own!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing took the ancient token, feeling a little excited. That Qingyun Sect was obviously a legitimate cultivation sect with likely many resources for cultivation. If he could enter it, he would make a fortune. It was a pity that Qing Yunzi had set a goal for him, to break through to the Return to Void Realm before he could go to the Qingyun Sect, which was still far off for Su Xing. After giving the three gifts, Qing Yunzi then asked, "Disciple, do you have any questions?" After thinking for a moment, Su Xing said, "Master, I lack a superior cultivation technique... And didn''t you say I am suited for alchemy? But I also lack the technique of alchemy..." Qing Yunzi nodded slightly and handed over another jade slip, saying, "I am not adept in the way of alchemy, but I happened to obtain this ''Li Fire Alchemy Technique,'' which records three hundred and sixty pill recipes, which should be enough for you to learn..." Su Xing quickly took the alchemy technique. To him, the path of alchemy was absolutely crucial at this stage. Whether it was improving his own strength or selling pills to earn money for energy, both options were excellent. Finally, Qing Yunzi said, "As for a superior cultivation technique, you should know that biting off more than you can chew is never good. You already possess the Changchun Technique, which is sufficient for you to cultivate to the Return to Void Realm and is beneficial for you in many ways. Once you have cultivated this technique to perfection, come find me again!" After finishing, Qing Yunzi waved his sleeve, and his figure slowly dissipated into the small world. Qing Yunzi''s laughter still echoed in the air, "A drifting cultivator, through the paths and fields for three thousand years... How joyous! How joyous~" Su Xing looked at where his master had disappeared, utterly dumbfounded, "Master, I haven''t even gotten on yet!" "Bah! Master, my technique is only an incomplete version! It''s nowhere near enough to cultivate to the Return to Void Realm!" Su Xing called out loudly, but did not receive the slightest response. His face immediately darkened as he complained, "Damn it! Acting like some reclusive expert... why didn''t you leave me the cultivation technique?" Su Xing was somewhat speechless; his Changchun Technique was incomplete, nowhere near enough to cultivate to the Return to Void Realm. With a light sigh, he then made his way into the thatched hut, ready to see if his master had left him any property. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After a long search, he only found a few bags of seeds, a worn-out alchemy furnace, and a few hundred Spirit Stones. "Sigh... With these Spirit Stones, can I cultivate to the Return to Void Realm?" Su Xing suddenly felt speechless. These few hundred Spirit Stones, combined with the 200 he had saved previously, didn''t even total a thousand. It would be good enough if he managed to break through to the Golden Core Stage... As for the Return to Void, that was still far too distant! "Well, it''s just a matter of simulating a few hundred more times, bringing out a bit of cultivation level each time. I''ll surely be able to break through to the Return to Void Realm!" Su Xing consoled himself in this way. "But I must start looking for the latter half of the Changchun Technique..." Su Xing rubbed his chin, considering that the Changchun Technique came from that mysterious organization, and to find the other half, he would surely need to make contact with them. After sorting out the property his cheap mentor had left for him, he began to carefully examine this "Three-Inch Spirit Field Blessed Land." Just as Qing Yunzi had said, the small blessed land was round with a diameter of a hundred yards, totaling roughly five hundred acres in size. However, the blessed land was overgrown with trees and weeds, the cultivable Spirit Fields adding up to just over ten acres. Nonetheless, this portable blessed land was an invaluable treasure for Su Xing! Moved by the thought, he left the "Qingyun Spirit Field" blessed land and returned to the real world. By now it was late outside, and as soon as Su Xing stepped out, he saw Jin Congxue waiting beside him. "Su Xing, you''ve finally come out!" Jin Congxue said somewhat excitedly. After chatting with Jin Congxue for a while, Su Xing then asked, "Congxue, those Spirit Stones are useless to you but are very useful to me. I''d like to exchange fifty catties of Spirit Rice for your fifty Spirit Stones, if that''s alright?" After hearing this, Jin Congxue shook her head and said, "I was able to get these rewards because of your help; I should naturally share half with you!" Having said that, Jin Congxue handed fifty Spirit Stones to Su Xing. Su Xing didn''t hesitate, accepting them directly. For the current Su Xing, Spirit Rice could be obtained through farming, a renewable resource. But Spirit Stones, Su Xing had not yet found other methods of obtaining them, and as they were used up, their number dwindled, making each one incredibly precious. Jin Congxue glanced at the sky and said, "Ah Xing, it''s getting late! Let''s head back to the city first!" Hearing this, Su Xing nodded and returned to Jinling City with Jin Congxue. The time within the Qingyun Spirit Field copy flowed one-to-one with the real world. It was now November 26th outside, and the simulation cooldown was complete, so Su Xing did not hesitate to choose to simulate. "Begin simulation!" [1200 energy points consumed, 2680 energy points remaining, infinite simulation attempts remaining.] [Simulation starts!] [Extracting a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points. Do you wish to extract?] "Extract the green talent!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green talent, Mister Strength!] Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Chicken Breeding Specialist, Descending Sect News! [Mr. Strength]: You were born with a strength greater than that of ordinary people, and your physical toughness is several times that of an average person. You possess remarkable talent in the Body Refinement lineage.When Su Xing saw the green talent he had drawn, his eyes lit up. Clearly, Mr. Strength was an advanced version of the previous fitness enthusiast talent. It was a talent equivalent to possessing a dual-type Spiritual Root in wood and fire. "It seems the plan has to change a bit..." Su Xing stroked his chin and thought. He had originally planned to practice the way of alchemy in this simulation, to earn more money for selling points. But now, the talent of Mr. Strength was a rare opportunity he naturally wanted to take advantage of and bring out. Su Xing continued with the simulation. [Your doorbell rings, and it turns out to be Jin Congxue finding you.] [She seems to have just finished bathing, with her hair still somewhat damp.] [Jin Congxue wants to discuss some Buddhist knowledge with you, but you know very little and nearly give yourself away.] [Jin Congxue changes the subject, inviting you to eat, and seems quite fond of you.] [You have lived in Jinling City for a week, and your relationship with Jin Congxue has grown increasingly close.] [A week later, you return to Kyoto Polytechnic University.] Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Every day, you enter the Spirit Field Blessed Land with you, meticulously taking care of the Spirit Grains in the field.] [You are strong and muscular, eating several times more than an ordinary person, consuming a pound of Spirit Rice in one meal.] [You work daily in the Spirit Field, eating three pounds of Spirit Rice, and your physique strengthens rapidly.] [After a week, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level has a breakthrough, advancing to the first level of the Bone Forging Realm.] Su Xing felt slightly emotional when he saw this, as he had previously toiled for many years and had only just managed to advance to the fifth level of Body Refinement. Now, with his talent for Body Refinement and the daily consumption of Spirit Rice, his cultivation progressed at an unexpectedly rapid speed. [You remain immersed in cultivation, eager to see how far you can go in this simulation.] [You spend three hours each day in the Blessed Land practicing Body Refinement, and in your free time, you continue to help the junior sisters and newcomers with dungeon raiding and equipment farming.] [With your increased strength, clearing ordinary Silver Level dungeons is now a piece of cake.] [Your dungeon earnings have increased significantly, netting half a million in just one day, and you become a millionaire within a month.] [In your spare time, you still take Wang Qingxuan to dungeon raids for leveling, and she gradually falls for you.] [Another half year passes, and you pay back the debt you had borrowed from Yu Yan; you save up a sum of money and no longer engage in power-leveling business.] [Intoxicated with cultivation, fortunately at this time, the Spirit Grains in the Spirit Field mature. You harvest three thousand pounds of Spirit Grains.] [You process the Spirit Grains into Spirit Rice to eat every day.] [As your Body Refinement Cultivation Level continues to climb, your appetite grows too, allowing you to consume five pounds of Spirit Rice daily.] [But you are not at all worried about running out of Spirit Rice, because you have already planted a new batch of Spirit Grains, ready to harvest again in half a year.] [Thanks to an ample supply of Spirit Rice, in just half a year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level breaks through to the fifth level of the Bone Forging Realm!] [You choose not to reveal your power; you are delayed in graduating.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan finds you, saying she plans to join a mysterious organization.] [This time you don''t stop her; that night, you try many new positions.] [The next day, Wang Qingxuan withdrew from school and disappeared.] Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly; everything was going according to his plan. Since the Changchun Technique originated from this mysterious organization, they must also possess the clues to the latter half. And Su Xing intended to try to contact this organization during the simulation to see if he could obtain related clues. [In the second year, you dedicated yourself to cultivation, and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the seventh layer of the Bone Forging Realm!] [In the third year, you continued to cultivate, and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the ninth layer of the Bone Forging Realm!] [In the fourth year, your Cultivation Level broke through to the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm but encountered a bottleneck, making it difficult to advance further.] [You gaze at the Spirit Field Blessed Land, filled with piles of Spirit Rice, and fall into deep thought.] [You understand that perhaps the effects of Spirit Rice are limited and provide only a weak improvement to someone in the Bone Forging Realm like you. You need to find a Spirit Plant that could further strengthen your physique.] [Fortunately, Qing Yunzi left you with quite a few other Spirit Seeds before he left. After carefully consulting the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, you chose a Spirit Plant called White Jade Ginseng to cultivate.] [You planted ten White Jade Ginseng plants, but these would need at least ten years to become effective. Therefore, you knew you couldn''t be hasty.] [You began to think of other methods. A sudden inspiration struck you; if ordinary plants can transform into Spirit Plants after absorbing Spiritual Energy over a long period, then perhaps animals could do the same. So you captured a few chickens and released them into the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [You tried feeding the chickens Spirit Rice. At first, they ate it happily, but within three days, all the chickens you captured had exploded and died.] [You tearfully ate the meat of two and a half chickens in one meal.] [You set up a small fenced area in the Blessed Land, intending to use it specifically for rearing chickens.] [You captured dozens of chickens and placed them inside the fence, but each one failed to live beyond three days.] [You tried continuously for three months, during which time no fewer than several hundred chickens were killed by the Spiritual Energy, and without exception, they all ended up in your stomach.] [Three months later, you finally ended up with three chickens that could eat Spirit Rice, one male and two females.] [But you still didn''t dare to feed them too much Spirit Rice, giving each chicken a maximum of ten grains per day.] [After another two months, the feathers of these chickens became lusher, and they seemed much smarter than before. They appeared to have developed a hint of spiritual intelligence.] [You were able to eat two eggs every day, and because the hens consumed Spirit Rice daily, the eggs tasted excellent, and their effects even seemed to faintly surpass that of the Spirit Rice.] [One day, you began trying to hatch the eggs.] [One month later, five or six chicks hatched from the eggs. They looked spirited and stronger than regular chicks.] [You attempted to feed these chicks Spirit Rice.] [To your delight, the chicks could eat three to five grains of Spirit Rice daily and not burst from it.] [You were very happy and felt that the potential of these chicks was much greater than that of the original three.] [You named these five chicks the second generation of Spirit Chickens.] [Just as you were preparing to expand your chicken-rearing business, Wang Qingxuan found you and handed over half of the Changchun Technique.] [You declined the half of the Changchun Technique, but you expressed your desire to join this mysterious organization.] [Wang Qingxuan seemed hesitant, but after your repeated requests, she agreed to recruit you into the mysterious organization.] [It turned out, in the years that had passed, Wang Qingxuan had completed her tasks excellently and had become a Grandmaster Level expert, so she already held the position of a minor leader within the organization.] [A few days later, under Wang Qingxuan''s guidance, you met with an Elder from the organization.] [Seeing it as a favor to Wang Qingxuan, the Elder reluctantly agreed to let you become an official member of the organization, and you learned that this mysterious organization was called the "Descending Sect"!] [The Descending Sect''s slogan was: "Eradicate human tyranny, the world belongs to the Foreign Race!"] Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Human Race Traitor, Descending Sect! [It turned out that every member of the Descending Sect was a traitor to the Human Race.][They believed that the Human Race did not deserve to rule this planet and were ready to welcome the "great Foreign Race" to completely descend upon it.] [In your heart, you wondered, wouldn''t the descent of those Foreign Races mean the death of all humans, including the Descending Sect?] [But your status was too low to gain entry into the core circle of the Descending Sect.] [You infiltrated the Descending Sect for a month and gradually understood that to raise your position within the sect, you had to display the corresponding strength and complete the tasks assigned by the organization.] [Therefore, you accepted your first task, which was to investigate a certain Silver Level instance.] [You performed exceptionally well and earned 5 contribution points within the sect.] [You learned that contribution points could be exchanged for many precious items, like the incomplete Changchun Technique that Wang Qingxuan had obtained by spending 5,000 sect contribution points.] [So, you tried to take on more tasks, hoping to earn more contribution points.] [After a month of hard work, you had accumulated 100 contribution points, a rate that left you dissatisfied.] [You realized it was because your strength was too low, which prevented you from taking on higher-level tasks and earning more contribution points.] [You discovered another method of earning contribution points by donating precious items to the Elders of the sect, which could net a large amount of points.] [With a determined heart, you contributed 100 pounds of Spirit Rice to an Elder.] [The Elder passed on the Spirit Rice, and he praised you highly, awarding you 1,000 contribution points.] [A few days later, another Elder from the sect sought you out, pressing you for the source of the Spirit Rice.] [You claimed it was a chance find and that it was all gone.] [The Elder didn''t believe you, tied you up, and locked you in a cellar to extract a confession through severe torture!] [Your skin was lacerated, your flesh torn; you suffered many punishments...] [Eventually, you were tortured to death at the age of 29.] [Your talent "Unyielding" activated from your unwillingness to die...] [You saw an old man enter the cellar, and the Elder seemed to respect him greatly.] [It appeared they exchanged a few words, but you couldn''t hear a thing, and you made up your mind to learn lip-reading.] [A day passed, and the "Unyielding" talent ceased to be effective...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] [You may choose one of the following rewards: Mighty Man (Talent), Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection (Cultivation level), Bone Forging Realm Great Perfection (Cultivation level), Five Second Generation Spirit Chickens (pet), 3,000 pounds of Spirit Rice (item)] [Mighty Man]: A green-level talent, priced at 10,000 energy points.] [Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection]: Cultivation level, priced at 1,000 energy points.] [Bone Forging Realm Great Perfection]: Cultivation level, priced at 10,000 energy points.] [Five Second Generation Spirit Chickens]: Pet, priced at 10,000 energy points.] [3,000 pounds of Spirit Rice]: Item, priced at 3 million energy points.] Su Xing looked at the simulation rewards with envy; whether it was the Mighty Man talent or the cultivation level of Bone Forging Realm Great Perfection, he wanted them all! "It''s a pity I can only take back one reward..." Eventually, Su Xing decided to choose the Mighty Man talent. After all, talent extraction was a matter of luck, and as long as he had this talent, he would inevitably be able to cultivate to the level of Bone Forging Realm Great Perfection in subsequent simulations.] What surprised Su Xing was that he could actually bring back Spirit Chickens from the simulator! It seemed the simulator categorized the Spirit Chickens as pets, and each Second Generation Spirit Chicken was valued at 2,000 energy points, even more expensive than a pound of Spirit Rice. This at least indicated that Second Generation Spirit Chickens were more valuable than Spirit Rice.] "What a pity; I currently have less than 2,000 energy points left, nowhere near enough to exchange for the talent..." Su Xing planned to take on instances as soon as possible to earn equipment, so he could gather enough energy before attempting the instances again. Thump, thump, thump! Just then, a knock on the door echoed from outside. Su Xing''s heart stirred, knowing it must be Jin Congxue coming over, so he opened the door. Jin Congxue was holding several Buddhist scriptures in her hand and said with a smile, "Ah Xing, I just acquired a few unique Buddhist scriptures. How about we study them together?" Su Xing nodded, and the two began to discuss the texts. But throughout the process, Su Xing seemed distracted, which made Jin Congxue feel a bit helpless and she asked, "Ah Xing, is something troubling you?" After hearing this, Su Xing gave a wry smile and nodded, saying, "I''m planning to go back to Kyoto. I''ve been a bit tight on funds recently and am looking to earn some more money..." Jin Congxue''s face showed a hint of surprise as she responded, Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Are you really in need of money? You should have said something earlier! How much do you need? I''ll lend it to you!" Su Xing was stunned for a moment by Jin Congxue''s generous demeanor. They had known each other for only seven or eight days, yet she was willing to lend him money? Curious, Su Xing asked, "Do you have a lot of money?" Jin Congxue seemed a bit surprised by the question and said, "Don''t you know about the Jin Merchant Guild? It was founded by my grandfather..." Su Xing was taken aback. The Jin Merchant Guild? That was one of the top-ranked merchant guilds in the entire Great Xia Country, with a history spanning hundreds of years and assets beyond measure. Su Xing, back in the simulator, was also quite a famous and wealthy businessman with a net worth of several billion. But compared to Jin Merchant Guild, he was far outclassed. The scale of Jin Merchant Guild could not merely be counted in billions, as most of their clients were professionals and even elite professionals at that. To them, Grandmaster and Heavenly King level clients were just regulars. In the simulator, the professionals Su Xing sold equipment to were mostly of the lower silver and gold levels, not even in the same league. Suddenly, Su Xing remembered that in one of the simulations, it seemed Jin Congxue had recommended a client to him, and in just a few short years, his net worth had soared to several billion. If it was the resources of the Jin Merchant Guild, then it made perfect sense. Jin Congxue''s voice rang in Su Xing''s ears, "So, how much do you want to borrow?" Gritting his teeth, Su Xing said, "One billion, can you lend me that? I might not be able to pay it back soon... perhaps it will take a year and a half..." Jin Congxue also froze for a moment when she heard the numberone billion was no small sum. So, half-joking, Jin Congxue said, "You''re not setting me up for a scam, are you? What do you need one billion for?" After saying this, Jin Congxue chuckled and handed a bank card to Su Xing, saying, "There''s one billion on this card, and the password is six eights." Su Xing did not take the bank card directly but instead took out fifty catties of Spirit Rice from his storage ring and handed them to Jin Congxue, saying, "Consider this Spirit Rice the interest for your loan so you won''t feel like you''re lending it for nothing!" Jin Congxue paused for a moment, blinking and asked, "Are you sure you want to give me this Spirit Rice? Do you know how much it''s worth?" "This fifty catties of Spirit Rice is worth at least fifty million Great Xia Coins!" Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Li Fire Alchemy! Su Xing was taken aback after hearing this.He certainly knew the value of this Spirit Rice. For Cultivators, it was a premium cultivation resource. And for other professionals, consuming this Spirit Rice over a long period could enhance their physical fitness. In other words, it was like those items in web game novels that could directly improve the physical attributes, strength, and the like of ordinary professionals. But Su Xing had only spent 50,000 energy to get fifty catties of Spirit Rice, which translated to ten million Great Xia Coins. Yet how could these fifty catties of Spirit Rice be worth fifty million Great Xia Coins? At this time, Jin Congxue said, "Last night, I had our guild''s appraiser estimate the value of this Spirit Rice." "For ordinary professionals, this Spirit Rice is no less valuable than the meat of powerful Demonic Beasts, a treasure that nourishes the body." "But the most precious indeed is the effect this Spirit Rice has on ordinary people! It can prolong life, slow down aging... it can even cure diseases!" "I think there will be many wealthy people willing to pay one million for a catty of Spirit Rice to give it a try... A catty of Spirit Rice is enough for an ordinary person to eat for half a month, and this thing is almost impossible to replicate. It''s a treasure only the two of us have. Wouldn''t you say it''s precious?" Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing understood after hearing Jin Congxue''s explanation. The saying went, rarity bred value; this Spirit Rice was now his exclusive monopolized product, naturally making it precious. Moreover, the life-prolonging effects of the Spirit Rice on ordinary people were too tempting. Su Xing nodded slightly, but then suddenly thought of something and said, "Congxue, it''s best if you use this Spirit Rice for yourself... even if you want to give it to someone, never say it''s from me! Please keep it a secret for me!" Seeing how serious Su Xing was, Jin Congxue knew he wasn''t joking. Taking the Spirit Rice, she said, "Rest assured, I''ll keep it a secret for you! As for these fifty catties of Spirit Rice, let''s just say it covers the fifty million Great Xia Coins, how''s that?" Su Xing nodded in agreement. He didn''t want Jin Congxue to reveal his identity because he was afraid the mysterious organization would target him. After all, in the simulated world, the fate that befell him after the exposure of the Spirit Rice was quite tragic. But in the future, if Su Xing was ever short on money, he could sell some to Jin Congxue. After all, he had more than three thousand catties of Spirit Grains in his personal Spirit Field Blessed Land, which would be ready for harvest in half a year. Su Xing then said, "Congxue, I want to purchase a batch of white-quality equipment from your Jin Merchant Guild; let''s consider this one billion as payment for the purchase." Su Xing handed his card over to Jin Congxue. Although curious about why Su Xing wanted so much white-quality equipment, she nodded and agreed. "I can buy it for you, but... you have to stay with me in Jinling City for a week. I want to do my duty as a host!" Jin Congxue blinked playfully as she spoke. Su Xing naturally agreed, as purchasing equipment would take some time anyway. In the following week, Su Xing stayed in Jinling City, where Jin Congxue was very hospitable. Thanks to Jin Congxue''s introduction, Su Xing managed to procure over one hundred thousand pieces of white-quality equipment from the Jin Merchant Guild at the lowest price of 900 pieces each. On December 3rd, 2023, in the New Era, Su Xing returned to Kyoto University. The first thing Su Xing did when he got back to his dormitory was to convert all the white-quality equipment into simulated world energy. Over one hundred thousand pieces of equipment were exchanged for a total of 620,000 points of energy, making Su Xing wealthier than he had ever been before. ``` "Sigh, now I''m a debtor with a small goal of debt" Su Xing bitterly smiled, realizing he must find a way to generate income. Otherwise, if he kept borrowing money, he would soon run out of funds to purchase energy. "Currently, the Spirit Grains in the Blessed Land seem to be a stable way to make money... but it will take half a year for the Spirit Grains to mature, and these 600,000 energy points are likely not enough for even a few simulations." With a thought, Su Xing started a new round of simulation. "Begin the simulation!" [This simulation consumed 1300 energy points, leaving 622,680 points remaining. Unlimited simulations remaining.] [Simulation starting!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, proceed with the draw?] "Draw the green talent!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green talent, Perseverance!] [Perseverance]: Your tenacity is several times that of an ordinary person. When facing difficulties, you will confront them head-on and never give up easily. Upon seeing this talent, Su Xing''s eyes brightened. Though the talent couldn''t directly enhance his strength, its usefulness in the simulation couldn''t be ignored. [In the dormitory, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You first return to the Spirit Field Blessed Land and check on the chickens you purchased a few days ago to see if they have survived.] [Unsurprisingly, not a single one of the chickens you purchased last time survived.] [After having a hearty meal, you went to the market and bought a few hundred chickens to raise in the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [You start studying Li Fire Alchemy, which describes the methods to make three hundred and sixty types of elixirs, most of which you do not understand.] [You could only choose a few low-level elixirs to manufacture.] [You chose the Fasting Pill and the Nourishing Face Pill, both of which are first-grade elixirs with the simplest methods of production.] [The main ingredient for the Fasting Pill is Spirit Rice, along with some herbs. One pill enables an ordinary person not to eat for a month without feeling hunger.] [Fortunately, except for the relatively precious Spirit Rice, the other ingredients for the Fasting Pill could be purchased in this world.] [You took out the worn Alchemy Furnace ready to begin alchemy, but soon encountered your first problem. You had no fire.] [You tried using a lighter to ignite it, but the flame from an ordinary lighter was not hot enough and lacked Spiritual Energy, making it unsuitable for making elixirs.] [Thus, you took out Li Fire Alchemy again to study it and quickly found a flame spell called Li Fire within.] [The Jade Slip records that Li Fire is a simplified version of the ancient divine fire, Southern Bright Li Fire. It is difficult to cultivate, and only those with great determination can master it.] [However, you fear no difficulties, so you began to delve into the Li Fire spell.] [In the first year, you spent four hours every day comprehending the Li Fire spell. This continued for a whole year without gaining entry.] [During this time, Wang Qingxuan came to find you, and after one night, she joined the Descending Sect.] [In the second year, you increased the time spent on comprehending Li Fire to six hours every day. Another whole year passed, and you still couldn''t grasp its essence.] [You remained unwavering, never giving up. In the third year, you spent eight hours every day on it. After half a year, you finally mastered the rudiments of the Li Fire spell.] [Overjoyed, you comprehended the Li Fire spell day and night. After two and a half years, you managed to gain entry.] [In the sixth year, you successfully mastered the basics of the Li Fire spell, able to summon a strand of Li Fire in your palm.] [This Li Fire was extremely hot, incinerating anything it touched instantly. Gold would melt into liquid within seconds in the Li Fire, yet the fire did not harm you.] [You realized that Li Fire could not only be used for alchemy but also as a weapon to fend off enemies!] ``` Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Learning Alchemy, Rich Ladys Joy Pill! Su Xing felt a surge of excitement.It had been more than ten times since he started the simulation, and now, at last, he had mastered an offensive technique. The flames that could instantly melt gold surely would cause significant damage! Su Xing continued with the simulation. [One day, Wang Qingxuan sought you out, bringing with her the first half of the Changchun Technique.] [You did not accept the Changchun Technique; instead, you proposed to join the organization she belonged to.] [Upon your request, Wang Qingxuan agreed and took you to meet an elder.] [Learning from your past lessons, you chose a cautious approach; you only completed one or two missions per month and dedicated the rest of your time to studying alchemy.] [You realized that your Li Fire was still too weak, and the elixirs you produced were only half-finished products.] [Therefore, you immersed yourself in the study of the Li Fire technique, and your mastery of it gradually improved.] [In the seventh year, you attended your sister''s funeral, and after the funeral, you contained your emotions and continued studying the Li Fire technique.] [In the eighth year, with your relentless effort, you had a basic grasp of the Li Fire technique, and the power of your Li Fire doubled.] [Feeling that your mastery over the Li Fire was sufficient, you decided to start crafting Fasting Pills officially.] [Initially, you could produce only one or two finished pills per batch of elixirs.] [But, having plenty of Spirit Rice for experimentation, your proficiency in crafting Fasting Pills soared.] [By the tenth year, you had mastered the Fasting Pill to the extent that you could produce seven or eight finished pills from a batch of ten, and occasionally, you would create an exceptionally potent Fasting Pill that allowed the user to go three months without food, yet remain full of energy.] [That same year, you attended the funeral of your good brother, Yu Yan.] [In the eleventh year, feeling the time was right, you began learning how to craft Nourishing Face Pills.] [The difficulty of crafting Nourishing Face Pills was much higher than that of Fasting Pills, requiring more than ten ingredients, including Spirit Ginseng, peach kernels, Chuanxiong, rehmannia root, and dong quai.] [Fortunately, except for the Spirit Ginseng, most of the materials were common herbs that you could buy in the real world.] [And luckily, you had planted several dozen ginseng plants ten years ago, which, nourished by spiritual energy for ten years, had turned into ten-year Spirit Ginseng.] [Your first attempt at crafting Nourishing Face Pills, unsurprisingly, ended in failure.] [But you were determined and did not give up; within three months, you had tried crafting Nourishing Face Pills over a hundred times until you gradually mastered the craft''s timing and skill.] [Now with only the last Spirit Ginseng left, enough for three more batches of Nourishing Face Pills, you were undaunted and continued crafting the elixirs.] [Fortunately, in your last attempt at alchemy, you succeeded and harvested three finished Nourishing Face Pills.] [You consumed one of the elixirs yourself, and your body expelled a lot of impurities, your skin became softer and fairer, and the wrinkles around your eyes completely vanished.] [You realized that the Nourishing Face Pill would be an invaluable treasure to some wealthy ladies!] [So, you named the Nourishing Face Pill the "Wealthy Lady''s Delight Pill."] [You approached Jin Congxue and sold her one Nourishing Face Pill.] [The nearly forty-year-old Jin Congxue, after consuming the pill, watched the wrinkles around her eyes gradually disappear, and her skin became as delicate as that of a twenty-something-year-old, so fine it seemed it could be punctured with a gentle poke.] [Jin Congxue was overjoyed, willing to pay one hundred million Great Xia Coins for the pill.] sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [She asked if you had any more pills, but having another use for the last one, you shook your head.] [After parting with Jin Congxue, you returned to Kyoto, where you attempted to craft a basic version of the Nourishing Face Pill without the need for Spirit Ginseng.] [One day, an elder from the Descending Sect approached you and issued you a task.] [You accepted the mission, but you soon discovered you weren''t the only one carrying it out; hundreds of sect members were involved in the task, including Wang Qingxuan.] [To your surprise, you found that Wang Qingxuan had become a Heavenly King Level powerhouse and was also the commander of this operation.] [After several years, Wang Qingxuan seemed to have aged a lot, and you gave her the last Nourishing Face Pill you had.] [Wang Qingxuan was grateful for your concern, and after so many years, her feelings for you remained unchanged.] [On the night before the task was to be executed, Wang Qingxuan found you and told you not to participate in this mission.] [You asked her why, and she didn''t hide anything, frankly stating that this mission was to cooperate with the Demon Race in leaking Human Race intelligence at Demon-Subduing Pass, and it carried the high risk of certain death.] [You were shocked and questioned why she would betray the Human Race to side with the Demon Race; she responded with a sorrowful smile, saying she had no choice.] [She arranged for you to be in a safe place, and you did not participate in this mission.] [Not long after, the price of restorative elixirs in the market began to skyrocket, and you realized that this sudden surge in prices might be related to the Descending Sect''s activities.] [You felt troubled and experienced a deep sense of powerlessness, so you began to work hard at producing a low-budget "Rich Lady''s Delight Pill."] [A year later, after thousands of attempts, you finally succeeded in mastering how to substitute ordinary ginseng for Spirit Ginseng.] [You developed a low-budget version of the "Rich Lady''s Delight Pill," whose effects were only one-tenth of the original.] [You took a bottle of the low-budget "Rich Lady''s Delight Pill" to Jin Congxue, hoping she could tell you the value of the elixir.] [But Jin Congxue''s father told you that Jin Congxue had died in a side version of the Demon-Subduing Pass.] [You returned to Kyoto in a daze, only to be discovered by an elder of the Descending Sect.] [The elder of the Descending Sect blatantly called you a traitor and personally killed you, crushing your head in his hand.] [You died, and the simulation ended!] [You may choose one of the following rewards: Perseverance (Talent), Five 9th Generation Spirit Chickens (Pets), Introductory Li Fire Technique Comprehension (Spell Comprehension), Li Fire Alchemy Basics (Alchemy Comprehension)] [Perseverance]: A green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points. [Five 9th Generation Spirit Chickens]: Spirit Pets, which have continuously evolved their bloodline by feeding on Spirit Rice, successfully becoming low-grade Spirit Pets, priced at 100k energy points. [Introductory Li Fire Technique Comprehension]: Ten years of comprehension experience, where you will immediately grasp the basics of the Li Fire Technique upon learning, priced at 100k energy points. [Li Fire Alchemy Basics]: Beginner-level alchemy experience, contains insights on the production of the Fasting Pill (Mahayana Level) and the Nourishing Face Pill (Heavenly King Level), priced at 100k energy points. Excited by the rewards, Su Xing also felt an itch of resentment. ["Damn it, why can I only bring back one reward?"] ["I want both the Introductory Li Fire Technique Comprehension and the Perseverance Talent!"] Amid his complaints, Su Xing''s simulation aimed to gain alchemy experience. But unexpectedly, he drew Perseverance, a heaven-defying talent. Su Xing clearly saw how this talent had helped him stubbornly persevere through the difficulties he could not break through in the simulation. For instance, the continuous ten years of night and day comprehension of the Li Fire Technique would have been impossible for Su Xing without this talent. However, choosing this talent meant he might have to start from scratch learning alchemy and the Li Fire Technique in the next simulation. As Su Xing was in the midst of his dilemma, a notification from the simulator rang in his mind: [Ding, the host may spend 500,000 energy points to upgrade the simulator, with the following functions in the Life Simulator 2.0 version...] (Woo, for love''s sake, I''m generating power here, yet my collection still hasn''t broken a hundred, I hope the lords will follow more~) Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Life Simulator 2.0 Version [Life Simulator 2.0 Version] Features as follows:First, the number of rewards that can be brought back from the simulator has increased from one item to two items. Second, a new immersive simulation experience has been added, allowing the host to spend a certain number of points to select a day for immersive experience in the simulation. Su Xing''s eyes lit up at the update prompt from the simulator. The updated features of the simulator perfectly matched his ideas! Especially the increase in the number of rewards almost doubled Su Xing''s simulation efficiency. As for the second feature, the immersive simulation experience, Su Xing still needed to try it out. But as soon as he saw the upgrade cost of a whopping 500,000 energy points, Su Xing was so frustrated that his teeth itched. "You must be eyeing the points I have, right? I finally managed to save up 600,000 points, and you''re directly asking for 500,000?" Although Su Xing was angry, upgrading the simulator was a must. So, Su Xing spent 500,000 energy points to upgrade the Life Simulator to version 2.0. Then he spent another 110,000 energy points to bring out the Beginner Li Fire Spell and the Green Talent "Unyielding" from the simulation. [Ding, you have chosen to bring out the Green Talent "Unyielding," remaining energy 111,680 points.] [Ding, you have chosen to bring out the Beginner Li Fire Spell Comprehension, remaining energy 11,680 points.] Su Xing carefully sensed his body, the effect of the talent Unyielding wasn''t apparent, perhaps it would only be experienced when encountering setbacks. But the Beginner Li Fire Spell had a significant impact on Su Xing''s experience. Su Xing stretched out his palm, and with a thought, a strand of cinnabar-red flame appeared in his hand, which, although only three inches tall, looked rather impressive. Su Xing carefully brought his other hand closer to the Li Fire, yet he didn''t feel the slightest sensation of being burned. He then took out a piece of white-grade equipment and placed it over the Li Fire, only to see the equipment melt at a visible rate, turning to ash in just tens of seconds. This greatly surprised Su Xing, knowing that although white-grade equipment was the lowest level, having come from a dungeon, its durability was even greater than that of steel by a good deal. The fact that Li Fire could so easily melt white-grade equipment meant it was likely a fatal threat to any ordinary Silver Level professional! "Now that I have this Li Fire Spell, I finally have a combat spell to use against enemies..." A thought crossed Su Xing''s mind as he tried to move the Li Fire further away from himself, discovering it could go as far as a dozen meters away from him, indicating that Su Xing now had a means of ranged attack. At the same time, Su Xing noticed that his physical and mana energy was quickly being consumed when controlling the Li Fire, about half of his mana was gone after roughly ten minutes. "It seems that the Li Fire Spell consumes quite a bit, it can only be used at critical moments." Su Xing stroked his chin, deep in thought. "Now that I have the Li Fire Spell, as long as I bring out the comprehension of Li Fire Alchemy in the next simulation, I can immediately start making Fasting Pills and a simple version of the Nourishing Face Pill." "And these two elixirs are definitely marketable, the Nourishing Face Pill in particular could probably be sold for hundreds of thousands of Great Xia Coins each without difficulty..." "But the current problem is that I''ll need at least 100,000 or more energy points for the next simulation, while I currently only have a mere 10,000 points." Su Xing pursed his lips and took out his phone to contact Jin Congxue. "Congxue, are you there? I''m planning to sell you 20 jin of Spirit Rice, let me know when you have time to come and pick it up..." Jin Congxue replied very quickly: "OK, looks like you''re short on cash lately, huh? Send me your card number, and I''ll transfer the money to you. I happen to be going to Kyoto sometime soon, so you can just give it to me then." Su Xing sent over his bank card number and soon received a remittance of 20 million Great Xia Coins. Looking at the new string of numbers in his bank account, Su Xing chuckled and shook his head: "I''ve really met a benefactor!" Su Xing learned about the clues to cultivation from Jin Congxue. Moreover, Jin Congxue had lent him such a large sum of money, which was equivalent to saving him a considerable amount of time in accumulating energy. Otherwise, relying on Su Xing''s slow accumulation of energy, it would have taken him at least several months to gather that amount. After getting the money, Su Xing first went to the Jin Merchant Guild in Kyoto to purchase over 20,000 pieces of white-grade equipment. With the VIP membership card given by Jin Congxue, Su Xing still managed to purchase at the lowest price of 900 Great Xia coins per piece, saving a lot of money. Afterward, Su Xing converted the more than 20,000 pieces of white equipment into energy, which brought his simulator energy up to 120,000 points. Looking at the 120,000 points of energy in the simulator, Su Xing felt somewhat reassured. Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "In the end, it''s still a lack of energy! I have to do power-leveling services." Su Xing had previously pulled all the underclasswomen who accepted his power-leveling services into a group, and now there were over a hundred people in this group. Su Xing sent a message in the group: "Today at four in the afternoon, there will be five power-leveling sessions, with a maximum of five people registering for each session. The target is the Silver Level copy outside the city, the Crimson Ant Nest, which offers a lot of experience. 20,000 Great Xia coins per person, those who want to register, hurry up..." No sooner had Su Xing sent the message than a few underclasswomen signed up. Most of these underclasswomen were between bronze levels 10 and 20, and the experience from a Silver Level copy was significant for them, almost enough to level up substantially in one go. With Su Xing''s current strength, he could solo the Silver-Level copy within an hour. With one day''s work, Su Xing could earn at least six to seven hundred thousand Great Xia coins, which was much more efficient than his previous power-leveling. A week passed quickly. Su Xing converted the 5 million Great Xia coins earned from power-leveling into white equipment, gaining nearly 30,000 points of energy. Together with the previously gained energy, Su Xing''s energy once again broke through the 150,000-point mark! On December 10th, after the simulator''s cooldown time refreshed. Su Xing chose to simulate right away. "Start simulation!" [This simulation will consume 1,400 points of energy, leaving 150,200 points of energy remaining, with unlimited simulation opportunities left.] [Simulation starting!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 points of energy, drawing a green talent costs 1,000 points of energy, would you like to draw?] "Draw a green talent!" Su Xing did not hesitate to choose to draw a green talent, after all, 1,000 points of energy was not much to him now, and if he could draw a high-quality green talent, that would be a huge gain. [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the green talent, Lucky Streak!] [Lucky Streak]: A green talent, your luck is far above the average person. You often find money when you go out, and if you buy a ten Great Xia coin scratch card, you can at least win a prize of 20 Great Xia coins. Su Xing''s eyes lit up when he saw this talent. A luck-based talent was an absolute necessity for transmigrators! Whether it''s in the simulator or in the real world, it would undoubtedly help Su Xing a lot. Su Xing continued to read on. [In your dorm, you realize that you''re in a simulation, and your task for this simulation is to accumulate enough alchemy experience.] [Without hesitation, taking advantage of being alone, you enter the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [To your surprise, you discover that not all of the hundreds of chickens raised in the Spirit Field have died; instead, seven or eight have survived. After examining them, you determine that these chickens may have the potential to become Spirit Chickens.] [A thought strikes you that this might be the influence of the Lucky Streak talent.] Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Good Luck and the Secret to Getting Rich! Su Xing''s eyes lit up when he saw this, as he hadn''t expected a green-quality luck talent to have such a significant impact.Before, it would have taken him at least a month to find a chicken with potential, but this time he had succeeded in just one week. "It seems this streak of good luck talent is really extraordinary... Perhaps it can be taken out of the simulator," Su Xing thought to himself and continued reading. [You raised those seven or eight chickens separately, feeding them a certain amount of Spirit Rice every day, and after a while, their feathers became glossier.] [Every day, in addition to feeding the Spirit Chickens and taking care of the Spirit Grains on time, you spent most of your time studying the Li Fire Alchemy.] [You selected some spirit seeds left by Qing Yunzi to plant, and also bought some good-quality ginseng from the market to plant in the Spirit Field.] [A week passed, and Jin Congxue came to Kyoto to find you, you gave her the Spirit Rice you had prepared in advance, and treated her to a meal.] [After saying goodbye to Jin Congxue, you continued to diligently study the Li Fire Alchemy. Since you already possessed the Li Fire technique, you immediately tried Alchemy.] [You took out some Spirit Rice, mixed it with three or four kinds of medicinal herbs, and put them into the Alchemy Furnace according to the proportions in the pill recipe.] [You meticulously controlled the Li Fire''s temperature, but unsurprisingly, due to lack of technique, the alchemy failed.] sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You did not give up and continued to focus on Alchemy.] [Soon, half a year passed by, and during this time, besides regularly feeding Wang Qingxuan soul chicken soup, you spent most of your time learning how to make Fasting Pills.] [Finally, with your relentless efforts, you successfully made the first batch of Fasting Pills.] [After half a year, you had mastered all the steps for making Fasting Pills. The proportions of medicinal materials, control of fire, and alchemy techniques were all approaching mastery.] [Now, when you produced a batch of Fasting Pills, you could get eight or nine pills, and because you were quite lucky, every two or three batches of Fasting Pills would produce an extraordinary one.] Su Xing was pleased when he read this; in his last simulation, it had taken him eight years to simply master the Li Fire technique. But in this simulation, because he already had the Li Fire technique from the start, it only took him a year to successfully learn how to make Fasting Pills, greatly increasing efficiency! Full of anticipation, Su Xing continued to read on. [You spent a week making fifty finished Fasting Pills, and then went to find Jin Congxue to sell them.] [Jin Congxue brought in a master appraiser from the Jin Merchant Guild to evaluate your Fasting Pills. The master appraiser said he had never seen such elixirs, but there was an item called "Ration Pill" in his repertoire that was similar.] [The master appraiser explained that Ration Pills were capable of providing the body with energy and after taking them, one would feel energetic and not experience hunger for three days. However, your Fasting Pills could maintain this state for a month, much more effective than the Ration Pills.] [Ration Pills were priced at about 3,000 coins each, so the master appraiser believed your Fasting Pills could be sold for around 100,000 coins each.] Su Xing frowned slightly when he read this. Were the Fasting Pills really worth only 100,000 coins each? This value was lower than he had expected. But then he realized that because this world had copies which could produce various space items similar to storage rings, every professional could carry large quantities of food. The greatest advantage of Fasting Pills was their convenience; secondary to that was saving the time spent eating, so they could be used on special occasions. [The master appraiser said if you could supply these pills in the long term, he would be willing to represent the Jin Merchant Guild and purchase them for 80,000 coins each.] [Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue seemed displeased and said that she would take as many Fasting Pills as you had at 100,000 coins each. While the master appraiser frowned slightly, he did not object.] Su Xing saw this and felt warmth in his heart again. One hundred thousand pieces each was the selling price, and Jin Congxue spending this money to purchase from him meant she would make hardly any profitit was entirely to help him. [You did not reject Jin Congxue''s kindness because you believed that the Fasting Pill was indeed worth the price of one hundred thousand pieces. You sold all fifty Fasting Pills to Jin Congxue but kept five superior Fasting Pills for backup.] [You used all the money from the sale to purchase materials for making the Nourishing Face Pill, but without Spirit Ginseng, you could only replace it with ordinary ginseng.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan came to you, indicating that she might have to leave you and join a certain mysterious organization.] [You asked her if it was the Descending Sect. She was surprised that you knew of this cult, but still nodded in acknowledgment.] [You gently persuaded her that the Descending Sect was not to be trusted, but Wang Qingxuan could act as your undercover agent and infiltrate the sect. At the same time, you requested her help in finding the latter half of the Changchun Technique.] [Although Wang Qingxuan did not understand your request, her deep love for you led her to agree.] [That night was wild, and the next day, she withdrew from the Kyoto Academy.] Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. From the results of his previous simulations, the Descending Sect was undoubtedly a colossal entity, even conspiring with the Foreign Race to annihilate the Human Race; therefore, he actually hoped to avoid any contact with the Descending Sect. But the problem was that the whereabouts of the latter half of the Changchun Technique''s cultivation method was still within the Descending Sect, and he had no choice but to find a way to learn news about the sect. Su Xing continued to simulate further. [After bidding farewell to Wang Qingxuan, you started to diligently study the Nourishing Face Pill.] [In the second year of the simulation, because you lacked Spirit Ginseng and replaced it directly with ginseng, the difficulty of making the Nourishing Face Pill increased. You spent a whole year but still could not produce a successful batch.] [In the third year, after relentless efforts, you finally managed to produce the first batch of inferior Nourishing Face Pills. You took one and felt your skin become much more delicate. However, your skill in making Nourishing Face Pills was low, and each batch yielded at most one or two successful pills.] [Moreover, as you used up a large amount of medicinal materials in making the Nourishing Face Pills, your savings dwindled to very little. Left with no choice, you spent another month making three hundred Fasting Pills, selling them to Jin Congxue.] [With the money in hand, you continued to focus on alchemy.] [In the fourth year, after thousands of attempts, your skill in making the simplified version of the Nourishing Face Pill became very reliable, and you achieved great proficiency in its creation.] [You spent a week making fifty of the simplified Nourishing Face Pills and brought them to Jin Congxue to sell.] [Jin Congxue took one and immediately felt her skin become more delicate, her crow''s feet gradually fading away.] [Overjoyed, Jin Congxue asked you how long this youthful state could be maintained. You told her it would last for about a month.] [Jin Congxue immediately expressed her desire to purchase all fifty of your low-tier Nourishing Face Pills for one million pieces each!] [You agreed and sold the low-tier Nourishing Face Pills to Jin Congxue, earning fifty million.] Su Xing felt sentimental when he saw this; actually, the cost of producing a batch of Nourishing Face Pills was even lower than that of Fasting Pills, since the latter required Spirit Grains. But the allure of the Nourishing Face Pill for women was simply too great! Just by taking one pill, they could return to youth for a month''s time, far surpassing the effects of top-tier cosmetics and health products. Wealthy women would undoubtedly be willing to spend a million for a month of youth. Seeing this, Su Xing''s lips curved slightly upward: "So, doesn''t this mean the energy cost for the next simulation is covered?" Chapter 27: Chapter 27 An Opportunity for the Organ Refining Realm, Organ Refining Pill! Selling Nourishing Face Pills would certainly bring Su Xing a huge profit.But right now, Su Xing doesn''t know exactly how much the profit would be, not until he brings the Li Fire Alchemy out of the simulator and successfully refines a batch of Nourishing Face Pills. [Year five, because you have produced a low-grade version of the Nourishing Face Pill and achieved financial freedom, you are ready to start deepening your research on the Li Fire Alchemy.] [Your determination is astonishing. You spent a year memorizing all 360 pill formulas of the Li Fire Alchemy, along with all the steps, but since you lacked the necessary spiritual medicines, you couldn''t successfully practice alchemy.] [Year six, one day, Wang Qingxuan found you. In these years, Wang Qingxuan had limited contact with you because she feared exposure.] [Wang Qingxuan brought you the first half of the Changchun Technique. You were puzzled and asked about the whereabouts of the second half.] [Wang Qingxuan said her clearance wasn''t high enough, and one needs to reach the Elder level to be able to exchange for the second half of the Changchun Technique.] Su Xing was overjoyed upon seeing this. Although he couldn''t obtain the second half of the Changchun Technique, at least it confirmed that the Descending Sect did indeed possess it! As for the need to wait until reaching the Elder level to exchange for it, according to the previous simulations, one would need to attain the Heavenly King Level to become an Elder in the Descending Sect. Although Su Xing currently couldn''t get the second half of the Changchun Technique, he had plenty of time, and he could conduct numerous simulations. Sooner or later, he was bound to gain access to it. Thinking of this, a heavy weight was lifted from Su Xing''s heart. After all, only with the second half of the Changchun Technique would he have a chance of becoming a Return to Void Realm cultivator. Then he could go to Qingyun Sect to find his nominal master, Qing Yunzi. [You gave some Nourishing Face Pill to Wang Qingxuan, and she really liked your gift. That night, you tried out new positions.] [You did not choose to join the Descending Sect, instead, you continued to immerse yourself in the study of Immortal Techniques.] [Year seven, after seven years of breeding, your Spirit Chickens have proliferated to the seventh generation. The intelligence of the seventh-generation Spirit Chickens is significantly high, even comparable to some of the smarter dog breeds.] [You eat Spirit Rice every day, and you''re even able to have several Spirit Chicken eggs. Despite not focusing much on cultivation over the years, you still became a cultivator at the ninth level of Bone Forging Realm.] [You begin to plan how to break through to the third major realm of Body Cultivation, the Organ Refining Realm.] [One day, you learn of your younger sister''s death and attend her funeral.] [You know that Su Nianan died in the Demon-Subduing Pass scenario, but with your current strength, you can''t change any of that. So, you delve even deeper into the study of Immortal Techniques, seeking to increase your strength.] [You lament not having Body Refining Techniques, therefore in the body cultivation path, you can only continuously explore on your own.] [One day, while researching the Li Fire Alchemy, you suddenly recall that among these formulas is a pill named the Organ Refining Pill which seems to strengthen the internal organs of the human body, and the Organ Refining Realm might just require strengthening the body''s internal organs, so you begin to attempt refining the Organ Refining Pill.] [However, according to the description in the Li Fire Alchemy, the Organ Refining Pill, unlike the previous Nourishing Face Pill and Fasting Pill, ranks at the lower end among the 360 types of pills. The difficulty of refining is vastly greater than the previously ungraded pills.] [Year eight, you diligently studied the Organ Refining Pill for a year, practicing in your mind countless times, but you are still missing an essential herb called Yellow Immortal Essence.] [Yellow Immortal Essence is the main ingredient of the Organ Refining Pill. Consuming it has the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing yin, as well as strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys. It is greatly beneficial to the human body''s internal organs, but the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique also mentions that Yellow Immortal Essence is not easy to cultivate, prefers Yin Water, and it must be grown for at least three years before it can be used as medicine.] [So, for the next three years, you study the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique while cultivating the Yellow Immortal Essence.] [In the eleventh year, after three years of your cultivation, you successfully grew several Yellow Immortal Essence plants, and you started attempting to refine the Five Viscera Pills.] [You had simulated the refining process of the Five Viscera Pills hundreds of times in your mind, but when you actually set to work, you found it more difficult than you had imagined.] [Firstly, your control over the Li Fire Technique was not adequate. Refining a furnace of Five Viscera Pills required a process that lasted several hours, and the spiritual energy and mana within you were simply not enough to sustain you for so long.] [Thus, while holding a spirit stone to replenish your spiritual energy, you used the Li Fire Technique to try to refine the Five Viscera Pills.] [You barely managed to maintain the process for several hours, exhausted to the point of weariness. When you opened the furnace to retrieve the pills, you discovered that your Five Viscera Pills hadn''t formed at all. Due to poor control of the heat, the pills had turned into a charred mess.] Su Xing, seeing this, muttered speechlessly: "The complexity of refining Five Viscera Pills is nothing like that of Nourishing Face Pills or Fasting Pills... With my alchemy skills in the simulator, trying to refine Five Viscera Pills is still too forced. Perhaps I should start by learning to refine some other elixirs?" Moved by an impulse, Su Xing continued the simulation. [You temporarily gave up on refining Five Viscera Pills and began to learn how to prepare some lesser elixirs. Through your research, you found you could refine a minor elixir known as Qi Gathering Powder.] [Qi Gathering Powder was a powdery substance. The ingredients required included spirit stones, spiritual spring water, spirit rice, and some other herbs to assist in the refining process.] [The Qi Gathering Powder could slightly increase the cultivator''s store of spiritual energy over a short period.] [You started to earnestly research Qi Gathering Powder, and due to your previous alchemy experience, you made rapid progress in learning how to prepare it.] [In the twelfth year, you successfully refined Qi Gathering Powder. After taking it, you felt the spiritual energy within your body increase by about ten percent, lasting for around fifteen minutes.] [In the thirteenth year, after a year of improvements, you were able to produce high-quality Qi Gathering Powder, which after consumption could increase spiritual energy by twenty percent, lasting for about thirty minutes.] Pleased with the results, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. There were ample materials for the Qi Gathering Powder, and he still had nearly a thousand pieces of spiritual medicine at hand! Moreover, the effects of the Qi Gathering Powder were truly exceptional, not only enhancing his fighting ability but also making elixir refinement much smoother. Su Xing continued the simulation. [One day, a dignified middle-aged man found you. He told you he was Jin Congxue''s father, and he brought the news of Jin Congxue''s death.] [Sorrow rose in your heart, and then the man explained his purpose. He had found Fasting Pills among Jin Congxue''s belongings. He said that these pills were of great importance to the Great Xia military, and he inquired whether you could supply them with more Fasting Pills.] [You hesitated for a moment, then admitted that you had personally refined the Fasting Pills, and you produced all one thousand Fasting Pills you had accumulated over the years.] [Jin Congxue''s father, thrilled, accepted the Fasting Pills. He gave you a compensation of two hundred million Great Xia Coins and requested you to refine one hundred thousand Fasting Pills.] [Curiosity piqued, you asked him why such a quantity of Fasting Pills was necessary.] [After a moment''s hesitation, he told you the reason. It turned out that the Human Race''s situation at the Demon-Subduing Pass was increasingly dire, especially due to a shortage of professionals; Fasting Pills could ensure that master-level professionals wouldn''t starve for three days, thus they would be extremely effective on the battlefield.] [You agreed to help the Great Xia military refine Fasting Pills, but you also set forth a condition: you wanted to meet with the high-ranking officials of the Great Xia military.] [Through arrangements made by Jin Congxue''s father, you managed to meet a certain leader of the Great Xia military...] Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. (PS: Sorry, the previous uploads were incorrect, they have been modified.) Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Selling the Rich Woman Happiness Pill Moments later, under a Chinese parasol tree outside the entrance of Kyoto Polytechnic University.Jin Congxue, clad in a coffee-colored woollen overcoat, looked at Su Xing with amusement and asked, "What good stuff have you brought for me?" Su Xing chuckled and handed over the twenty jin of Spirit Rice he had prepared in advance and then took out a Nourishing Face Pill and passed it to her. "This is something special, give it a try!" Having simulated the scenario in advance, Su Xing felt quite trustful of Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue took the Nourishing Face Pill and inspected it closely for a moment. The elixir felt cool and crystal clear in her hand. When she brought it up to her nose, it gave off a faint scent of herbs. With the pill in hand, Jin Congxue gave Su Xing a dubious look and said with a hint of jest, "You''re not trying to pull something shady on me, are you... like drugging me?" Upon hearing this, Su Xing arched an eyebrow and responded with a laugh, "Oh? Then I wonder if you, Jin Congxue, would dare to take it? Are you afraid I might do something bad to you?" At his words, Jin Congxue let out a laugh and swallowed the Nourishing Face Pill, then looked at Su Xing with a challenging gaze. Her seductive expression was bewitching, igniting a fiery sensation in Su Xing''s lower abdomen. The pill dissolved instantly upon ingesting, and Jin Congxue uttered an intrigued sound, then carefully sensed her body''s condition. On Jin Congxue''s fair skin appeared a thin layer of dirt, to her great surprise. She quickly pulled out a small mirror from her bag to check her face. After carefully inspecting herself for a while, Jin Congxue froze, her voice filled with disbelief, "Su Xing, how did you do this? The fine lines on my face have disappeared! My skin feels like it''s been rejuvenated by at least three or four years!" Su Xing smiled slightly upon hearing this. Jin Congxue was not yet thirty years old, but because she took good care of herself, her skin condition was around that of a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old. But now, after taking Su Xing''s Nourishing Face Pill, her skin appeared to be that of someone around twenty! Pointing to the Nourishing Face Pill in his hand, Su Xing said, "How about that? This is an elixir that I''ve newly developed... the Rich Lady''s Delight Pill!" S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Rich Lady''s Delight Pill..." Jin Congxue murmured, her pretty face blushing slightly as she said in a soft voice, "That doesn''t sound like a very serious name!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing laughed and said, "Who cares whether the name is serious or not? Just tell me if you feel happier after taking it." Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue subconsciously nodded her head. Women, especially beautiful ones, are particularly concerned with their appearance. Su Xing continued, "The Rich Lady''s Delight Pill can rejuvenate a person. One pill will last about a month, after which the effects will gradually lessen... For a thirty-year-old woman, it''s like returning to their twenties, and for a forty-year-old, it''s like returning to their thirties!" Jin Congxue nodded her head, confirming that the effects she was experiencing matched Su Xing''s description, then she asked, "So, what are you suggesting?" Su Xing took out a bottle of Nourishing Face Pills from his chest and said, "I have fifty Rich Lady''s Delight Pills here, and I hope you can help me sell them." Jin Congxue paused, her voice filled with astonishment, "Such precious elixirs, are you sure you want to sell them? Did you really develop these pills yourself?" Su Xing nodded and responded, "Yes, I can provide at least fifty Rich Lady''s Delight Pills every month. I hope to have a long-term partnership with your Jin Merchant Guild!" Jin Congxue''s expression changed slightly. As a lady born into a merchant family, she quickly recognized the tremendous commercial opportunity this represented. Feeling somewhat excited, Jin Congxue said to Su Xing, "Let''s discuss this in detail! The Jin Merchant Guild has a villa not far from Kyoto Polytechnic University. Let''s go there to talk!" Su Xing nodded after listening; based on Jin Congxue''s reaction, the Nourishing Face Pill must be extremely important. Jin Congxue took out a cell phone, made a call, and soon a black Rolls-Royce arrived, eliciting amazed gasps from the surrounding students. Su Xing got into the car, and after a ten-minute drive, the two arrived at a villa. There were already three or four middle-aged men waiting inside the villa. Jin Congxue introduced, "Su Xing, this Nourishing Face Pill is not a common item; its value is immense According to the rules of the Jin Merchant Guild, its value must be determined by appraisers together. You don''t mind, do you?" After listening, Su Xing shook his head. He and Jin Congxue were friends, but business was business; it needed to be clearly discussed. Soon, several appraisers took out specific tools to appraise the Nourishing Face Pill. This world had a life profession known as appraisers, who mostly serve within certain powers, like the appraisers currently present. After a careful inspection of more than ten minutes, one appraiser said with some astonishment, "This elixir is indeed harmless to the human body, rather, it relies on a unique energy to temporarily alleviate aging, and can even rejuvenate!" After a discussion, the appraisers unanimously said, "After our discussion, we feel that the value of this single elixir should be around one million Great Xia Coins. Although the elixir is miraculous, it can only be maintained for a month; it requires long-term use If the price is too expensive, it likely won''t have a market." Having said this, the appraisers turned to look at Su Xing, wanting to see if he agreed to this price. Just as Su Xing was about to nod in agreement, Jin Congxue interrupted, "Respected appraisers, although you have spoken of the use value of this elixir you have overlooked the commercial value behind it!" The appraisers frowned slightly upon hearing this, but Jin Congxue bluntly said, "Do you think ordinary people could afford this elixir?" "According to my estimation, the overwhelming majority of those who purchase these elixirs will be middle-aged women or rather, ladies from wealthy families!" "By selling these elixirs to them, we could not only make money but also accumulate contacts and resources for the Jin Merchant Guild!" "What do you say, is money more important, or are contacts and resources more important?" Hearing Jin Congxue''s words, the appraisers fell silent. For a regular businessman, perhaps money is more significant. But for a huge entity like the Jin Merchant Guild of the Great Xia Country, accumulating contacts and resources is clearly more critical. Jin Congxue continued, "So, I believe we should hold an auction in the form of an auction, helping Su Xing to auction it off for free, to further expand the influence of the Jin Merchant Guild! What do you think?" After hearing Jin Congxue''s words, the appraisers showed peculiar expressions; with their experience, how could they not recognize the value of the elixir, but the intrinsic nature of businessmen is profit-seeking, and naturally, the more profit, the better. But the Jin Congxue before them was clearly turning away profit! The appraisers assessed Su Xing, seeing his youthful age, extraordinary appearance, and ability to bring out such an elixir. Their minds stirred, thinking, could it be that this young man is a future son-in-law of the Jin Merchant Guild? And so, the appraisers quickly said, "Everything is up to Miss Jin!" Jin Congxue nodded, pleased, and then turned her eyes towards Su Xing, her gaze carrying a hint of seeking credit. Soon after, a commercial contract was signed. Su Xing provided the "Rich Madam''s Joy Pill," and designated the Jin Merchant Guild as the sole distribution channel. In return, the Jin Merchant Guild would give all the profits from the auction to Su Xing. After the contract was signed, the appraisers quickly left with the Nourishing Face Pill. Meanwhile, Jin Congxue looked at Su Xing with sparkling eyes and said playfully, "Su Xing, I''ve helped you with such a big favor, how are you going to thank me?" Chapter 31: Chapter 31: A Stroke of Genius, The Elixirs Became Rounder? Su Xing nodded after hearing this.Although it was a win-win situation, Jin Congxue really did him a big favor in this matter, one could say she had gone above and beyond. So, Su Xing took out a few more Nourishing Face Pills from his bosom and said, "These are the advanced version of ''Rich Lady Bliss Pills''; their effects are thirty percent higher than the previous ones and can last for three months. Consider them a gift from me!" Jin Congxue gleefully accepted the elixirs, but responded, "This little thing isn''t enough to appease me... How about you treat me to a big meal tonight?" Su Xing was caught between laughter and tears upon hearing this, he thought Jin Congxue had some conditions, but it turned out to be a dinner invitation! Naturally, Su Xing wouldn''t refuse, so he replied, "I couldn''t ask for more!" The next day, Su Xing returned to the dormitory feeling rejuvenated. Su Xing had already delivered fifty Nourishing Face Pills to Jin Congxue, who stated they could be auctioned off within a week. And the starting price for each Nourishing Face Pill was at least fifty million Great Xia Coins! For this, Jin Congxue also gave Su Xing a deposit of twenty million. Su Xing didn''t take the money directly but instead bought white grade equipment worth twenty million Great Xia Coins from the Jin Merchant Guild. A total of twenty-two thousand white grade pieces of equipment, which converted to more than 130,000 simulation energy points! This caused Su Xing''s already significant simulation energy to swell even more. On the afternoon of December 17th, Su Xing chose to simulate in the dormitory. "Begin simulation!" [This simulation will cost 1500 points of energy, remaining energy is 143,000 points, remaining simulations are unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, would you like to draw?] "Draw a green talent!" Now that Su Xing had a stable source of income, ensuring at least hundreds of thousands of energy points per week, he naturally chose a green talent. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green talent, Inspired Moment!] [Inspired Moment]: Green talent, your mind is more active than that of an average person. When facing difficulties, you can occasionally have an inspired moment that solves the problem. Su Xing''s eyes lit up at the newly drawn green talent. Inspired Moment? This is clearly a talent related to comprehension! Perhaps when encountering difficulties in learning alchemy, he could rely on this talent to quickly break through bottlenecks? After drawing the talent, Su Xing didn''t rush into simulating, but instead reflected on the goals for this simulation. Clearly, the Inspired Moment talent could be quite helpful for Alchemy training. Therefore, Su Xing planned to focus his primary efforts on Alchemy during this simulation. "Hopefully I can advance from the novice level of Alchemy to the beginner level?" Su Xing looked towards the simulation interface. [Inside your dormitory, taking advantage of the absence of others, you entered the portable Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [You spent three days refining a total of five furnaces of the low-grade version of the Nourishing Face Pill and ten furnaces of the Fasting Pill.] [You pre-refined the Nourishing Face Pills you planned to trade next week and then began to try learning how to refine new elixirs.] [You set your sights on an elixir known as the Disguise Pill, which can change a person''s appearance. Although it is of a lower quality, the materials for its refinement are easy to collect.] [A few days later, you received the final payment for the Nourishing Face Pills from Jin Congxuea whopping eighty million! With this eighty million, you bought enough materials to refine hundreds of Disguise Pills and enough materials for the Nourishing Face Pill to last a long time.] Su Xing was stunned for a moment when he saw this. Eighty million for the final payment? Plus the earlier twenty million doesn''t that mean each Nourishing Face Pill sold for a whole two million? That''s much higher than his previous price! Su Xing continued to simulate. [Half a year later, with your existing alchemy experience, you successfully brought the Disguise Pill refinement proficiency to the Mahayana Level. Even Heavenly King Level powerhouses would find it hard to see your true appearance.] [You have mastered four types of lower-quality elixirs, but you are still not confident in refining the Organ Refining Pill.] [A year later, you learned the lower-quality Wound Healing Pill and improved your mastery of the previously learned Qi Gathering Powder to the Mahayana Level.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan came to you and shared her wish to join a certain mysterious organization. In this simulation, you didn''t want to get too involved with the Descending Sect and preferred to quietly practice alchemy, so you feigned ignorance.] S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [The following night, Wang Qingxuan dropped out of school, and you guessed that she likely joined the Descending Sect.] [You continued to focus on refining elixirs, and since you were selling more than fifty Nourishing Face Pills every week, you weren''t short of funds and could buy a lot of common medicinal materials.] [Apart from alchemy, you also attended to the improvement of your cultivation. Your Qi Refining Cultivation was still stuck at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, but your Body Refinement Cultivation Level had broken through to the third level of bone forging.] [Each day, you still made time to take care of the Spiritual Medicine in the field and the Spirit Grains.] [In the third year, you learned several lower-quality elixirs, such as Breath Concealing Pill, Power Pill, and Swift Pill, all to the Mahayana Level.] [At this moment, you had mastered seven types of lower-quality elixirs, and from the previous simulation, you had already gotten a basic understanding of Organ Refining Pill refinement.] [Therefore, you decided to go into seclusion, focusing wholeheartedly on refining the Organ Refining Pill.] [First, you handed over the previously accumulated Nourishing Face Pills to Jin Congxue in advance and informed her that you were going into seclusion for half a year.] [You took out some Spiritual Medicine that you had been growing for quite a while from the Spirit Field.] [Once all preparations were made, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land and took out the materials for the Organ Refining Pill that you had prepared in advance to begin concentrating on your refinement.] [The first month, you attempted to refine twenty furnaces of Organ Refining Pill, but all were failures.] [The second month, you became more proficient at refining, and you managed to refine twenty-three furnaces of Organ Refining Pill, with two successful batches, but you did not dare to take them, considering that in a previous simulation, you died from the pills causing your body to explode.] [The third month, you refined twenty-four furnaces of Organ Refining Pill, with four successful batches, but you still did not dare to take them.] [The fourth month, you refined twenty-five furnaces of Organ Refining Pill, with six successful batches. Your speed of pill-making was getting faster, and you could almost refine one furnace each day.] [The fifth month, you refined twenty furnaces of Organ Refining Pill, with eight successful batches. You started to pursue not just quantity but also quality, and your understanding of the Organ Refining Pill improved.] [In the sixth month, you had an inspiration and vaguely grasped some key points for the refinement of the Organ Refining Pill. You refined ten furnaces and succeeded with nine of them.] [You compared all the successful batches from the past six months, hoping to summarize and identify some issues.] [You stared at the several dozen Organ Refining Pills before you for three full days and nights and noticed that the ones from the last two months seemed rounder.] Su Xing couldn''t help but roll his eyes at this. "Damn it, observed for three days and three nights to find they''re rounder? Am I really that stupid?" [Suddenly, you had a thought: perhaps it was the potency of the Organ Refining Pill that caused your body to explode, possibly due to the age of the medicinal materials.] Chapter 32: Chapter 32, Getting Better, Introduction to Alchemy! Su Xing paused when he saw this, then slapped his forehead."Right! The strength of the medicinal properties is related to the age of the herbs... How come I only thought of such a simple issue now?" Su Xing felt a wave of embarrassment. But in fact, it was not really Su Xing''s fault, since he had no master to guide him in the study of alchemy, and he had to rely entirely on himself to figure things out. The fact that he could produce elixirs of an ungraded quality was already due to his relentless efforts over dozens of years, let alone elixirs of a graded quality, which would only be harder to craft. Having realized this, Su Xing felt more confident about crafting the Organ Refining Pill, so he continued with the simulation. [You want to continue crafting Organ Refining Pills, but at this moment, you are out of the main ingredient, Yellow Immortal Essence. So, you took out some seeds from what Qing Yunzi left you and planted them in your Spirit Field.] [You have spent all your previous savings, so you crafted a batch of low-quality Nourishing Face Pills and sold them to Jin Congxue.] [In the fifth year, the Yellow Immortal Essence you planted before has developed one year of medicinal properties. Thinking that the three-year-old Yellow Immortal Essence is too potent, you took it out in preparation to begin alchemy.] [In the sixth year, you spent a year crafting hundreds of batches of Organ Refining Pills, continuously improving the process. You believe your Organ Refining Pills are now up to standard.] [One day, you attempt to swallow an Organ Refining Pill.] [The powerful medicinal properties of the Organ Refining Pill instantly make you feel as though being burned by fierce flames, but you clench your teeth and endure it.] [You did not immediately die from your body exploding, but blood kept flowing out from your meridians, turning you into a bloody figure. You tried to take a few Wound Healing Pills to treat your injuries.] [Ungraded Wound Healing Pills have no effect on such severe injuries, and you watch helplessly as you bleed to death.] [You are dead!] [Your talent, Undying Will, activates!] [You blankly stare at the furnace of Organ Refining Pills in front of you...] [Ding, simulation ended!] Su Xing was at a loss for words when he saw this. "Dammit, dead in the sixth year? Is this the earliest I''ve died in a simulation?" Su Xing felt a sudden pang of regret. After all, he had to wait a week for each simulation, making each session extremely precious. In this simulation, he was already very cautious, having crafted hundreds of Organ Refining Pills before he barely dared to swallow one. But unexpectedly, despite reducing the potency of the Organ Refining Pill, he still couldn''t withstand it. "Sigh... I didn''t die from my body exploding, but from my meridians being shattered... This means my approach must be correct! It''s because the Organ Refining Pill''s medicinal properties are too strong that I couldn''t bear it!" Su Xing absorbed the experience and was not discouraged by this single failure. After all, he had previously remained at the fifth level of Body Refinement for three years, so now, he wanted to try breaking through to the Organ Refining Realm despite the difficulties. "Anyway, waiting one more week... doesn''t really matter!" Su Xing comforted himself and then looked at the rewards for this simulation. [Inspiration]: Green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points. [Bone Forging Great Perfection]: Cultivation level, priced at 11,000 energy points. [Beginner''s Li Fire Alchemy]: Beginner-level alchemy experience, containing alchemy insights for Power Pill (Mahayana Level), Wound Healing Pill (Mahayana Level), Qi Gathering Powder (Mahayana Level), Breath Concealing Pill (Mahayana Level), Swift Pill (Mahayana Level), Organ Refining Pill (Intermediate Level); priced at 100,000 energy. "The Inspiration talent is definitely a must-choose... It''s like the previous Unyielding talent, very useful in simulation!" Su Xing first spent 10,000 energy points to redeem the Inspiration talent, then shifted his gaze to the other two options. "Eh, the Li Fire Alchemy has reached beginner level? And it only costs one hundred thousand energy points?" Su Xing was surprised, knowing that the basic level Li Fire Alchemy previously cost 130,000 energy points. But Su Xing quickly realized that this must be because he was already close to reaching the beginner level in Li Fire Alchemy. After all, he had previously mastered three types of ungraded elixir crafting and an introductory level of low-grade alchemy. He had also memorized the crafting procedures for three hundred and sixty types of elixirs. In this simulation, he had mastered some more ungraded elixir crafting methods, which means he further improved on his previous base. "By that calculation... the alchemy experience for an average ungraded elixir is around ten thousand energy points, whereas an inferior-grade pill like the Organ Refining Pill would surely be much more expensive, requiring tens of thousands of points just for the intermediate level." Su Xing thought, stroking his chin. But the beginner level of alchemy was also a must-have. After all, this could save Su Xing a lot of energy for the next simulation. "It''s a pity, the Body Refinement Cultivation Level of bone-forging Great Perfection can only be chosen next time." Su Xing gently shook his head, feeling relatively safe in his current situation and not particularly urgent about improving his Body Refinement Cultivation Level. On the contrary, what Su Xing urgently needed to improve now was his Qi Refining Cultivation. Because the stronger his Qi Refining Cultivation was, the more Spiritual Energy he would have in his body, allowing him to learn Alchemy better. "It looks like I''ll need to find a way to increase my Qi Refining Cultivation in the next simulation," Su Xing thought to himself and silently chanted: "I choose to bring back the entry-level Li Fire Alchemy!" [Ding, you have chosen to take the green talent "Quick Wit," costing 10,000 energy points, leaving a balance of 133,000 energy points.] [Ding, you have chosen to take the entry-level Li Fire Alchemy insights, costing 100,000 energy points, leaving a balance of 33,000 energy points.] The Quick Wit talent brought significant changes to Su Xing; he only felt his thinking became more lively, and new ideas occasionally popped up in his mind. The improvement in Alchemy was even more remarkable for Su Xing; it was as if new Alchemy knowledge appeared in his mind and as though he had refined those elixirs countless times, allowing him to produce them with ease. "Tsk, tsk, worthy of being entry-level Alchemy... I feel like my understanding of the Alchemy Dao has strengthened by quite a bit." After the simulation ended, Su Xing began preparing to concoct the low-grade Nourishing Face Pill. After all, as he simulated more and more, the energy he needed would also increase, meaning Su Xing had to spend more money. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And currently, Su Xing''s primary money-making method was selling the low-grade Nourishing Face Pill. The efficiency of making money through Alchemy was more than ten times faster than grinding equipment! So, over the next week, Su Xing concocted ten batches of Nourishing Face Pill. Due to the improvement of Su Xing''s Alchemy skills, the efficiency and success rate of concocting the Nourishing Face Pill were both higher than before. With just three days'' time, out of the ten batches of Nourishing Face Pill, there were a total of ninety successfully made elixirs, and even seven or eight of them were of superior quality. Aside from Alchemy, Su Xing did not continue to take those junior sisters and freshmen down to the dungeons to level every day. However, he would occasionally take Wang Qingxuan down to the dungeons to grind equipment and level up. After all, Wang Qingxuan was connected to clues concerning the Descending Sect; it was important to cultivate a good relationship. Another week flew by quickly, and this day, Jin Congxue came knocking. "Su Xing, you little rascal have made a killing! Guess how much your batch of elixirs sold for?" Jin Congxue was dressed in a cheongsam that day, outlining her figure in a curvaceous and seductive manner. Su Xing blinked and said, "I guess, it sold for a billion!" On hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue''s eyes widened and said, "You''re really something! How did you know it sold for a billion? Here... this is the remaining eighty million in final payment. But I know you''re definitely going to buy white-quality equipment, so I''ve already exchanged it all for you!" With that, Jin Congxue handed over a storage ring. Su Xing''s eyes lit up as he took the ring. Jin Congxue exchanging the money for equipment ahead of time indeed saved Su Xing a lot of trouble. "Thanks! From now on, let''s trade with white-quality equipment each time... It''ll save me quite a bit of trouble!" "Oh, and these are the Rich Woman''s Joy Pills I concocted this week, ninety in total. Help me sell them off this week!" Su Xing then took out a bottle of elixir from his pocket and handed it over. Jin Congxue took the bottle of elixir, blinked and said, "Oh boy, you can concoct so much in one week, you can earn over a billion a week! With so much money, why don''t you take care of me!" Having said that, Jin Congxue displayed a playful expression. Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The Establishment of the Tarot Society, Wealth and Prosperity! Su Xing naturally knew that Jin Congxue was joking, so he half-jokingly replied:"Sure, being able to nourish a great beauty like you! I would love nothing more!" Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes coquettishly and said: "Yeah right, you little pervert!" "By the way, the reason these fifty elixirs were able to auction for two million apiece is because they just came out, and several wealthy sisters of mine couldn''t wait to buy them, which is why the price was so high..." "However, the price of these elixirs will definitely drop... I estimate they will eventually stabilize around 100 to 150 million apiece." After hearing this, Su Xing nodded; it was about what he had expected, so he said: "No problem, even at 1 million apiece, I''ve already made quite a lot; you just help me exchange the money for the white equipment!" If he averaged 1 million per pill, Su Xing could produce around 100 lower-tier Nourishing Face Pills a week, which equated to an income of 100 million Great Xia Coins per week. Exchanged into energy, it would roughly equate to six hundred thousand energy points, an undoubtedly significant number. At the very least, Su Xing wouldn''t have to worry about an energy deficit any time soon. After hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and said: "Big brother! You really think that the Jin Merchant Guild''s money comes from the wind?" "Selling you a piece of white equipment for 900 Great Xia Coins is already at cost. Considering our labor, we''re going to be at a loss!" "And you want to purchase white equipment worth 100 million Great Xia Coins all at once, that''s more than a hundred thousand pieces! That''s nearly a tenth of the Jin Merchant Guild''s entire merchandise flow!" Su Xing immediately felt a bit embarrassed. After all, the Jin Merchant Guild needed to make money too; they used to earn a few hundred from selling a piece of white equipment. Now they were effectively not earning anything, simply working for Su Xing free of charge, and as Su Xing''s strength improved, his demands for white equipment would only increase. In time, the white equipment that the Jin Merchant Guild purchased weekly might not even suffice for his energy consumption. An apologetic look appeared on Su Xing''s face as he tentatively asked: "So what do you think I should do? This white equipment is very important to me!" After pondering for a moment, Jin Congxue replied: "Although I don''t know why you must acquire white-quality equipment, it must be your secret, and I won''t pry." "However, I can tell you an internal figure from the Jin Merchant Guild; among the population of 10 billion in the Great Xia Country, there are only about 5 billion combat profession practitioners, and bronze-level practitioners number only about 4 billion." "High-level practitioners generally do not use white-quality equipment, which means that the annual circulation of white-quality equipment in the Great Xia Country is about 500 million." "At your current rate of acquisition, purchasing a hundred thousand white-quality equipment a week, that would require over five million pieces a year! That almost accounts for one percent of the entire market share!" "And according to the laws of Great Xia, you might even be charged with the crime of monopoly!" Su Xing frowned slightly when he heard Jin Congxue''s words. He hadn''t thought this far, but his mass acquisition of white-quality equipment, with only inflows and no outflows, would inevitably attract official notice, and that was no small issue. Furthermore, as his strength increased, he might need not just five million pieces of white equipment a year, but perhaps even fifty million! So Su Xing asked with furrowed brows: "White-quality equipment is indeed very useful to me... Is there any way to avoid these issues?" After thinking for a while, Jin Congxue said: "There are ways, more than one actually!" "First of all, improving the quality of the equipment is one approach. It''s not just white-quality equipmentif you also need green-quality equipment, maybe it wouldn''t attract so much attention." "Secondly, you could establish your own commercial guild, specializing in buying up low-tier equipment, or even hiring some people to grind dungeons for loot... This way, not only can you save a considerable amount of cost, but it would also definitely not attract attention." Upon hearing Jin Congxue''s suggestion, Su Xing''s eyes lit up. He had tried devouring green-quality equipment before, and one piece could yield about 50 energy points. However, the price of one green piece was at least 20,000 Great Xia Coins, making the cost-performance ratio too low, which was double the price of white-quality equipment. However, the second proposal from Jin Congxue was quite intriguing, as setting up his own commercial guild would indeed save Su Xing a lot of trouble. So, Su Xing blinked and said, "So, beautiful Miss Jin Congxue... could I hire you to manage my commercial guild?" Jin Congxue''s eyes widened upon hearing Su Xing''s words, and she asked, "You want me to help you run the guild? Please... I''m with the Jin Merchant Guild! Strictly speaking, if you establish a commercial guild, you''d be our competitor!" Su Xing, sensing that Jin Congxue hadn''t outright refused, felt that there were prospects for this and thus took out some high-quality Nourishing Face Pills he had crafted earlier and handed them over, saying, "Ahem, of course not for nothing! These Nourishing Face Pills, they''re more than enough! And in the future, I''ll prioritize giving you any other elixirs I craft!" Jin Congxue accepted the elixirs and said in a low voice, "You really are generous, boss! One of these top-grade Rich Woman''s Delight Pills is worth at least five million... With a wave of your hand, you''re giving away tens of millions in wages!" Jin Congxue thought for a moment and then said, "However, registering a commercial guild does require quite a few things. Not only sufficient funds are needed, but also certain connections..." Su Xing blinked and said, "You are the heiress of the Jin Merchant Guild, aren''t you? Do you still lack connections?" Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Jin Congxue rolled her eyes in response, "So, you are just treating me like hired help? I do indeed have quite a few resources on my hands, enough to get a commercial guild up and running initially... But still!" "Setting up a guild does require a lot of money; the initial investment has to be at least a billion. And I''d need to contact a group of grinders who specialize in dungeons... But in this respect, you have a natural advantage, since you''re a college student, right? You can reach out to the freshmen at Kyoto Polytechnic; they need to run dungeons to level up, so having them grind equipment for you couldn''t be more perfect!" After hearing this, Su Xing nodded; this was also his plan. As for the funding issue... Su Xing thought for a moment and then said, "I''ll give you two hundred Nourishing Face Pills every week... You sell them, and half the money goes to starting the new commercial guild, and half to buying white-quality equipment for me... Once the guild is established, all the money from the weekly Nourishing Face Pills can be invested back into the guild, and all I want in return is the guild''s white-quality equipment. How does that sound?" After listening, Jin Congxue carefully considered it and then said, "If that''s the case, it indeed seems feasible! Two hundred Nourishing Face Pills a week... that''s equivalent to an injection of two to three billion in funding!" "With that, I''m confident I can help you set up the embryonic form of a commercial guild within a week! Moreover, I have some connections at Jiangnan Academy; I can get students there to run dungeons and grind equipment for you!" After pausing, Jin Congxue added, "However, we still have an important issue to resolve right now!" Su Xing asked with some confusion, "What issue?" Jin Congxue smiled and said, "My boss... You haven''t come up with a good name for the commercial guild yet!" Su Xing was momentarily stumped, then he also smiled and said, "Then let''s call it, the Tarot Society..." Chapter 34: Chapter 34: A New Round of Simulation, Contacting the Great Xia Military ```After saying goodbye to Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to his dormitory alone. He first converted all 90,000 pieces of white-quality equipment in his storage ring into energy. Su Xing was in luck, these 90,000 pieces of white equipment brought him nearly 500,000 energy points in total. Thus, Su Xing''s energy points once again reached 510,000. Having accumulated enough energy, Su Xing did not hesitate to choose to simulate. On December 24, 2023, in the New Era, with less than 15 years left until the arrival of the behemoths and the end of the world, Su Xing began his 16th life simulation. "Begin the simulation!" [This simulation has consumed 1,600 energy points, leaving you with 508,000 energy points remaining, and limitless simulation attempts.] [Simulation has started!] [Extracting a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, would you like to extract one?] "Extract a green talent!" Without a doubt, Su Xing chose to extract a green-quality talent. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green talent, Commanding Presence!] [Commanding Presence]: Green talent. You are more robust than others and more likely to attract the opposite sex''s favor. Su Xing was stunned at first when he saw this green talent, but then he quickly recovered and grumbled: "Damn it, what''s the use of this talent! ...Do I even need this?" Su Xing began the simulation. [In the dormitory, you realize you''re in a simulation.] [The Spiritual Root talent has already made you far superior to ordinary people in this regard.] [Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one around, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [You start refining Nourishing Face Pills; it takes you five days to make twenty-two furnaces of Nourishing Face Pills, which you plan to trade to Jin Congxue next week.] [After completing the pill refinement, you engage in your daily cultivation practice. Thanks to your extraordinary talent and a sufficient supply of Spirit Rice, you spend just two days breaking through to the first layer of the Bone Forging Realm.] [Two days later, Jin Congxue finds you, and you give her two hundred Nourishing Face Pills. In return, Jin Congxue gives you more than one hundred thousand pieces of white-quality equipment.] [However, since you''re in a simulation, you know white equipment is no longer useful to you, so you ask Jin Congxue to invest all the money from the sale into the construction of the Tarot Society.] [Although Jin Congxue is doubtful, she nods in agreement.] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the following month, you spend two hours daily honing your physique, four hours refining elixirs, and two hours planting and tending the fields.] [After one month, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level advances to the second layer of the Bone Forging Realm.] [Because you injected sufficient funds and had the help of a woman like Jin Congxue who is fully talented in commerce, you have established the Tarot Society.] [You let Jin Congxue become the nominal head of the Tarot Society, while you lurk behind the scenes.] [One year passes, and your Body Cultivation Level rises to the fifth level of the Bone Forging Realm. Meanwhile, you have mastered the refinement of two ungraded Spiritual Medicines.] ``` [One day, Wang Qingxuan came to you and revealed to you the affairs of a mysterious organization.] [After one night, Wang Qingxuan dropped out of school and joined the Descending Sect.] [You continued your orderly cultivation and began to learn to craft new elixirs. In your free time, you studied the knowledge of planting Spirit Plants and also raised Spirit Chickens.] [In the fourth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the ninth layer of the Bone Forging Realm, and the number of common grade elixirs you mastered surpassed fifteen. There are sixty common grade elixirs recorded in the Li Fire Alchemy, and you plan to continue your studies.] [The Spirit Chickens you raised reached the seventh generation. The meat of the Spirit Chickens was extremely delicious, and you ate one or two Spirit Chicken eggs every day. Moreover, once a month you slaughtered a Spirit Chicken to supplement your nutrition.] [In the fifth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the Great Perfection realm of the Bone Forging Realm. However, with previous experiences, you still did not dare to try the Organ Refining Pill. Instead, you made one or two cauldrons of Organ Refining Pills each week, hoping to refine them to the Great Achievement Realm as soon as possible.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan came to your door and gave you the upper half of the Changchun Technique, but you did not accept it. Instead, you told her you hoped she could help you find the lower half.] [After one night, she prepared to leave.] [But you stopped her, gave her over a dozen good-quality Nourishing Face Pills, and some recently crafted Organ Refining Pills. You warned her that the medicinal properties were potent, only to be consumed once a month, and it might be painful. Lastly, you reminded her not to reveal anything about these elixirs.] [Wang Qingxuan agreed to your request, and she left quickly.] Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this; Wang Qingxuan was one of the few people he considered trustworthy. Moreover, Wang Qingxuan was already a Grandmaster Level powerhouse by then, and her constitution was surely much stronger than his, who was still in the Bone Forging Realm, so taking the Organ Refining Pill was not dangerous for her. The only concern was whether Wang Qingxuan would reveal the elixirs, but after all, this was in the simulator, and even if it was revealed, it wouldn''t matter too much. Therefore, this was a bold attempt by Su Xing. Su Xing continued the simulation. [Over the years, thanks to Jin Congxue''s business talent, the Tarot Society''s commercial forces grew larger and larger, reaching a scale of nearly a hundred billion, becoming a rising star in the commercial circles of Kyoto.] [You called Jin Congxue over and gave her several Organ Refining Pills, telling her the precautions for use. After sharing several intimate days with you, Jin Congxue left.] [In the sixth year, you continued to study alchemy and mastered an increasing variety of elixirs. Your alchemy skills became more and more skilled.] [One day, Jin Congxue came to you, looking very excited. She told you her physical condition had greatly improved compared to before and that her strength had also increased by nearly thirty percent.] Su Xing nodded slightly upon reading this; Jin Congxue was in a mage occupation, and even though she was at the Grandmaster Level, her physical constitution did not surpass Su Xing''s by much. Therefore, the Organ Refining Pill had inevitably improved her physique. [You were pleased with the improvement in Jin Congxue''s strength and gave her another dozen Organ Refining Pills. You also gave her ten thousand Fasting Pills and instructed her to deliver these elixirs to the head of the Great Xia Military, Lu Yuanwu.] [Jin Congxue asked you if you weren''t afraid of revealing yourself by doing this, but you shook your head, saying you had your own plan.] [A few days later, Commander Lu Yuanwu himself approached you, accompanied by Jin Congxue.] [Lu Yuanwu seemed to have a great appreciation for you. He wanted to hire you as a special advisor to the military, specifically to provide these kinds of elixirs to them, and he offered a sky-high price of two hundred thousand for each Fasting Pill.] [You said you were not in need of money but wanted higher privileges, and you hoped to obtain some special items and equipment produced in the copies.] [Lu Yuanwu hesitated, stating that although the Fasting Pill you crafted was very useful, it had not yet reached the level of granting such privileges. However, he said, on account of Jin Congxue, he could grant you some additional privileges.] [Curious, you privately asked Jin Congxue about her relationship with Lu Yuanwu. Jin Congxue revealed that Lu Yuanwu was her maternal grandfather, her mother''s father.] Su Xing was stunned for a moment; no wonder Lu Yuanwu seemed to favor him... it turned out to be a matter of family connections. His maternal grandfather? Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Third-Class Sequence Treatment, Learn about Cultivation-oriented Copies! Su Xing thought about it, based on Lu Yuanwu''s earlier behavior, he was certainly one of the more righteous individuals.Moreover, Lu Yuanwu was Jin Congxue''s maternal grandfather, which meant he was somewhat connected to him as well. With an idea in mind, Su Xing continued the simulation. [You took out several Organ Refining Pills and handed them to Lu Yuanwu, telling him that you personally developed these elixirs that could be consumed by professionals above the master level to increase their attribute points.] [Lu Yuanwu accepted the elixirs with some skepticism. He said that items capable of increasing attribute points did exist in the instance, but such items were too precious and extremely rare. If your elixirs were as miraculous as you claimed, you would make a tremendous contribution. To be safe, Lu Yuanwu took the elixirs back to the Great Xia Military.] [You weren''t concerned because according to the results you obtained before, these Organ Refining Pills, if taken regularly for half a year, could even improve a master-level professional''s physical condition by thirty to fifty percent.] [A month went by, and one day, while you were resting in the dorm, you suddenly heard the sound of helicopters overhead.] [Pairs of fully-armed special forces descended from the planes, and these people were all professionals at the grandmaster level or above.] [They headed towards your dormitory, with Lu Yuanwu among them.] [Lu Yuanwu looked somewhat excited. He first had the soldiers surround the entire dormitory, vigilant against anyone approaching, and then invited you onto a helicopter.] [You guessed the purpose of Lu Yuanwu''s visit, and sure enough, he directly stated that your elixirs were of great importance to the Human Race and asked how many you could supply.] [In reality, over the years you had accumulated over a thousand finished Organ Refining Pills, but you didn''t intend to hand them all over at once. Additionally, your alchemy skills had greatly improved, allowing you to produce about ten pills in a single three-hour session each day.] [So you gave a conservative estimate and told Lu Yuanwu that you could supply him with fifty Organ Refining Pills each week.] [Lu Yuanwu was overjoyed upon hearing this, with fifty Organ Refining Pills supplied weekly, meaning two hundred pills a month!] [According to the military''s internal experts'' forecast, on average, five Organ Refining Pills can enhance a master-level professional''s strength by fifty percent, meaning they had a high chance of clearing grandmaster-level instances for the first time and becoming grandmaster-level professionals!] [And Su Xing supplying two hundred a month meant they could create two hundred grandmaster-level experts every five months! This represented a huge boost to the combat power of the entire Great Xia Military, even the whole Human Race!] [Lu Yuanwu solemnly told you he would offer you the treatment of Great Xia''s third-class rank, as long as you could supply them with Organ Refining Pills.] [You asked Lu Yuanwu what the third-class rank entailed, and he informed you that only a few hundred people in the entire Great Xia Country enjoyed such a status, and he himself only had a second-class rank treatment.] [You further inquired about the benefits of the third-class rank treatment, and Lu Yuanwu said that if you were willing to join, they would tailor a special cultivation treatment for you, and the nation would spare no expense in cultivating you, while absolutely ensuring your safety.] Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this; this so-called third-class rank treatment sounded appealing. "But... that''ll just be something to try out in the simulator, it''s better not to expose oneself in the real world," he thought. Su Xing was curious about what benefits such treatment could bring, so he felt somewhat tempted to agree. [You agreed to Lu Yuanwu''s request, and Lu Yuanwu was ecstatic. As long as you were a young prodigy, he asked if you would like to move into the military district, where safety was absolutely guaranteed.] [You disliked the feeling of being restricted, so you refused and chose to continue living in Jiangnan Vocational University. Lu Yuanwu agreed to your decision, assigning two Heavenly King-level experts to protect you in secret around the clock and telling you that you could make any requests to him.] [You thought about it and wrote a list. The list contained some common alchemy materials that you regularly used. These materials were common, but you requested older specimens, such as century-old ginseng, century-old fleece-flower root, and Huang Jing that was over twenty years old, among others.] "These herbs are more precious than the ordinary ones found in the market; if you plant them in a Spirit Field, they can absorb Spiritual Energy faster and grow into Spiritual Medicine." "Lu Yuanwu took the list and ordered his guards to retrieve the materials from the arsenal on your behalf. In just half a day, they had collected all of the herbs you had listed." "You then asked Lu Yuanwu if he knew of any cultivation-related instances, and Lu Yuanwu nodded, mentioning he had heard of such instances. You were overjoyed and eagerly asked for the information, and Lu Yuanwu quickly gathered data on the cultivation instances and handed it to you." Su Xing was stunned for a moment, then his face erupted with joy. Indeed, just as he had thought, there had to be more than just the "Spirit Field Blessed Land" when it came to cultivation instances. The Qingyun Sect and Qingyun Realm proposed by Qing Yunzi were the best proof of that. Su Xing took a deep breath, then silently said to himself, "Activate the immersive simulation function!" "Ding, using the immersive simulation costs 100,000 energy points per hour. Do you wish to continue?" Su Xing smacked his lips when he saw this100,000 energy points for an hour was quite expensive. But perhaps the immersive simulation was truly worth it. According to the updated description of the simulator''s functions, the immersive simulation allows one to completely view the scenes within the simulator and does not involve any risk to life. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even if it was just an hour of immersive simulation, he could memorize all the information about these instances within that time frame. For Su Xing, the value of one cultivation instance far exceeded the mere 100,000 energy points. "Confirm usage!" "Ding, you have used 100,000 energy points to select the immersive simulation for an hour. Your current remaining energy is 407,000 points..." As the notification sounded in Su Xing''s mind, he felt his vision begin to somersault. The next second, Su Xing was still in the dormitory. He carefully looked in the mirror and found that he looked completely different, and there was no roommate in the dorm. It seemed he was living alone in the dormitory. At that moment, a document marked "Top Secret" appeared in Su Xing''s hand. "Is this the immersive simulation? Indeed... it feels exactly like a real-life experience!" Su Xing''s heart raced with excitement, and he couldn''t wait to examine the document in his hands. But as soon as he opened the first page, there was a line of red warning text. "Attention! Attention! The cultivation instances are extremely dangerous! It is not recommended for those below the Grandmaster Level to explore. Instances may contain NPCs that are suspected to be of ''Legendary Level'' or even ''Saint Level''. It is advised to have a team of at least five professionals at or above the Heavenly King Level when exploring these instances, with a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse to lead!" A thunderous opening strike! As soon as Su Xing read this sentence, he realized that cultivation instances might not be as simple as he had imagined! Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Important Intelligence, Three Cultivators Enter the Instance! Meanwhile, Su Xing also realized what was going on.Perhaps the cultivation-oriented dungeons had existed for quite some time, but because Su Xing''s status in the simulation had been too low before, he had not been able to access these higher-level pieces of intelligence and data. "Perhaps, I can try to demonstrate my value in the simulation that way, I might be able to obtain more information, and I won''t encounter any dangers in the real world." An idea occurred to Su Xing. One can afford to take more risks in the simulation, but in reality, it''s best to be cautious. "Let''s take a look at the information at hand first." Su Xing turned the information to the next page. The first dungeon introduced before Su Xing''s eyes was named the Blood Demon Cavern. [Dungeon Name]: Blood Demon Cavern [Difficulty]: Four stars [Note]: Be warned, this dungeon has an extremely high level of danger. Seven Heavenly King-level professionals and two Martial Emperor-level professionals have perished within. [Dungeon Introduction]: Upon first entering the dungeon, professionals will randomly arrive near a sect known as the Blood Demon Sect. Be advised to immediately flee to the north upon arrival, as the southwest direction leads to the stronghold of the Blood Demon Sect. All members of this sect are known as "cultivators," whose strengths vary widely, but even the weakest among them possesses strength close to the Master level, with some capable of instantly killing Heavenly King-level powerhouses. Moreover, the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect within this dungeon revel in slaughter and will pursue all professionals who arrive, as they possess special methods to track down the locations of professionals. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Additional Information]: To date, the dungeon has been explored twice, with a total of 137 professionals entering. Only one professional escaped and returned. The difficulty in exploring this dungeon is extremely high, not recommended! [First Record Date]: New Era 1978, April 26 [Information Contributor]: Xiang Su After reading the introduction to the dungeon, Su Xing''s brow slightly furrowed. Clearly, this was not a dungeon suitable for exploration. At least not suitable for Su Xing''s current stage of exploration, because even Martial Emperor-level professionals risked perishing in this dungeon, and Su Xing was just a minor cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, absolutely insufficient to venture within. Moreover, according to Su Xing''s assessment, the Blood Demon Sect was evidently a demon-cultivating sect, hence their wanton slaughter of the professionals who entered the dungeon. And the first exploration of this dungeon was in the year 1978 of the New Era, which meant it had been over thirty years. Such a long period had seen only two human explorations, a testament to the heavy casualties, which is why the higher-ups of Great Xia had not continued to explore. "Blood Demon Cavern, this is not a dungeon worth exploring" Su Xing slightly shook his head and looked toward the next dungeon''s name. [Dungeon Name]: Luo Tian Grand Assembly [Difficulty]: Two stars [Note]: There is almost no risk to life in this dungeon, but the rewards are very low. [Dungeon Introduction]: This dungeon is a recurrent timespace kind, into which only one professional can enter at a time. Every professional entering will be transported to a fixed day, referred to by the cultivators in the dungeon as January 1, Luo Tian calendar year 7266, also the day of the annual Luo Tian Grand Assembly. Professionals will consistently transmigrate into a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator named Luo Xiaochuan and experience everything he experiences on that day. Except for memories, nothing can be brought out of the dungeon by the professionals who enter. [Additional Information]: The current count of explorations for this dungeon is 10758 [First Record Date]: New Era 1688, May 4 [Recorder]: ... Su Xing looked further down and discovered that the recorder had listed many names, and at the very bottom, numerous professionals had recorded their own personal insights about the instance. Many professionals entered the instance with the thoughts of "giving it a try" or "maybe I''ll be the lucky one", but they still failed to discover any clues. "A time-loop instance?" Su Xing frowned slightly, as he had some recollection of this type of instance. Because entering such an instance would mean repeating a fixed point in time, which usually revolves around an important moment. As for the instance description stating that no items can be brought out, Su Xing did not mind. After all, besides items, the memories acquired from entering the instance might be very important to Su Xing. "It''s a pity that this documentation doesn''t mention the location of the instance, otherwise I could make time to go check it out..." Su Xing decided to ask Lu Yuanwu later about the location of this instance. Turning to the next page, Su Xing saw the third instance recorded in the document. [Instance Name]: The Age of Dusk (Xianwu Era) [Difficulty]: One star [Footnote]: The strongest within this instance are about at Master Level. It is safe to enter with two or more professionals at Master Level or above. [Instance Introduction I]: The time point of this instance is "the end of the Cultivator''s era", and according to summaries of historical intelligence, due to the depletion of nature''s spiritual energy over thousands of years, and the lack of a cultivation prop known as "Spirit Stone", nearly all Cultivators in the instance remained at the Qi Refinement Realm. Moreover, the number of Cultivators is frighteningly low, with only one in every ten thousand people being a Cultivator. [Instance Introduction II]: In the early exploration stages, we merely thought that the natives of the instance possessed only martial arts skills. But as we gradually made contact, we found that the three main sects within the instance C the Floating Life Sect, the Xuan Huang Sect, and the Changchun Sect C used to have traces of Cultivators in Ancient Times and retained certain Cultivation Techniques. The highest ranked individuals within these sects are about "Great Grandmasters" of martial arts, roughly equivalent to professionals at Master Level. [Instance Introduction III]: If one wants to explore this instance, they can enter the Xuan Huang Sect, where there are 16 professionals who are undercover operatives for the military of Great Xia Country, stationed in this instance year-round. [Supplement]: The current number of explorations for this instance is 367,689 [First Recorded Time]: New Era Year 1956, July 4 [Recorder]: ... After reading the introduction to this instance, Su Xing''s eyes lit up C clearly, it was an instance particularly suited for him to explore! Despite being called the Age of Dusk and the vast majority of Cultivators having pitifully low Cultivation Levels due to the depletion of spiritual energy resources, and lacking cultivation resources. But this instance might enable Su Xing to gain a deeper understanding of the world of Cultivation, and he might even be able to obtain some of the Cultivation Techniques that exist within the instance! What''s more crucial is that the name of a sect in this instance caught Su Xing''s attention. "Changchun Sect... Does this have some connection to the Changchun Technique?" An idea struck Su Xing''s mind; perhaps the Changchun Technique from the descent sect originated from this instance. Su Xing glanced at the time, noticing that there was less than half an hour left until the end of the current immersive simulation. Su Xing quickly went through the remaining instances related to Cultivation and then took out his phone to dial Lu Yuanwu''s number. "Hello, Su Xing, do you need something?" came Lu Yuanwu''s voice from the other end of the phone. Su Xing cut to the chase and asked directly, "Lu... Chief, I wanted to ask about the location of the two instances, The Age of Dusk and the Luo Tian Grand Assembly, in the Cultivation-oriented instances!" Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The New Elixir, Essence-Nourishing Pill! ```On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuanwu was momentarily stunned before he nodded and spoke: "I can give you the coordinates of that end-of-the-law era instance, but the Luotian Meeting instance was already closed three years ago, and no one can enter it anymore..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing was taken aback, then he quickly realized something. If it was three years ago in the simulator, that meant there were still three years until the closure of the Luo Tian Meeting instance in the real world. Su Xing had every opportunity to explore that instance. So, Su Xing said: "It doesn''t matter if it''s closed, just send me the coordinates for both instances!" After hearing this, Lu Yuanwu nodded and added a reminder: "Sure, but although the native strength within that end-of-the-law era instance isn''t strong, it still poses some danger to you. It would be best if you have two Heavenly King level powerhouses to protect you." After hearing that, Su Xing agreed and then hung up the call. Before long, Lu Yuanwu sent over the coordinates of both instances. Su Xing was delighted when he saw them. What a coincidence, both instances were located within Kyoto City. If Su Xing had the time, he could definitely try entering the instances. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, the end-of-the-law era instance still posed certain dangers to Su Xing, so he decided it would be better to wait until his cultivation level had broken through before going there. Quickly, an hour passed, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing''s consciousness returned to the real world. The real world. Su Xing lay in his dormitory, casually picking up a cup of cola and taking a gulp, feeling as if everything was like a dream. "Immersive simulation... what a fantastic experience! It''s definitely a great opportunity to gain some insights and information..." Su Xing took a deep breath and it took a long while for him to come back to his senses. After adjusting his mindset, Su Xing chose to continue the simulation. [In your dormitory, you obtained the coordinates of the two instances from Lu Yuanwu.] [You called over two Heavenly King level powerhouses and told them you needed quiet when refining elixirs, insisting that no one should disturb you and they should not approach your dormitory.] [The two Heavenly King level powerhouses treated you with great respect and hastily nodded in agreement.] [After making sure nobody was spying around, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [You spent two hours refining a batch of Organ Refining Pills, and you used the rest of the time for cultivation.] [You insisted on eating Spirit Rice every day and consumed a large number of Spirit Chicken eggs to replenish your physical strength, which rapidly enhanced your Body Refinement Cultivation Level. Furthermore, you spent several hours daily using Spirit Stones for cultivation.] ``` [In the seventh year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm, but your Qi Refining Cultivation remained at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm!] [In the eighth year, you practiced diligently, and your cultivation made significant progress, but the spiritual energy inside your body was still not enough to allow you to break through to the Golden Core Stage.] [In the ninth year, you attempted to refine a lower grade elixir called the Essence-Nourishing Pill, which not only could strengthen a cultivator''s Divine Sense but also had a remarkable effect on purifying the spiritual energy within the body, helping you to break through to the Golden Core Stage.] [Among the materials for refining the Essence-Nourishing Pill, only one called the Essence-Nourishing Herb was rare. Luckily, you had planted many Essence-Nourishing Herbs in advance, and you began to try to refine the Essence-Nourishing Pill.] [Having mastered the methods to refine more than ten kinds of ungraded elixirs and the method to refine the Organ Refining Pill, you could be considered a novice in the realm of alchemy; thus, you made rapid progress in the alchemy technique for the Essence-Nourishing Pill.] [Every day, you spent two hours refining Organ Refining Pills to complete the tasks for the Great Xia Military, and another two hours cultivating. Aside from that, almost all your time was spent on refining the Essence-Nourishing Pill.] [In the first month, you attempted to refine the Essence-Nourishing Pill twenty-eight times in total, of which only one batch was successful, while the remaining twenty-seven batches failed.] [In the third month, you did not lose confidence and strived even harder, making swift progress. You refined thirty batches of Essence-Nourishing Pills, of which a full five batches were successful.] [In the sixth month, you continued to refine the Essence-Nourishing Pills, and by now your success rate had reached a high of fifty percent, successfully refining five out of every ten batches of Essence-Nourishing Pills.] [Unfortunately, the continuous alchemy over the past few months had depleted your previously accumulated stock of Essence-Nourishing Herbs. Now that you have run out of Essence-Nourishing Herbs, you can no longer continue with alchemy.] [Fortunately, in the past six months, you have accumulated enough Essence-Nourishing Pills to purify your spiritual energy, and you are confident that your cultivation can break through to the Golden Core Realm.] [However, you do not want to break through to the Golden Core Realm directly, for that would only result in the weakest Golden Core. According to the description in the Changchun Technique, there are three grades of Golden Core quality: lower grade Golden Core, middle grade Golden Core, and upper grade Golden Core.] [So, you began to continuously refine and compress the spiritual energy within your body; the whole process was extremely painful, but your determination was astonishing, and you persisted through gritted teeth.] [In the tenth year, throughout the year, you tirelessly refined the spiritual energy within your body. You could feel the quality of your spiritual energy becoming more and more pure, and so you began to try taking Essence-Nourishing Pills.] [According to the descriptions in the Li Fire Alchemy, the Essence-Nourishing Pill was different from the Organ Refining Pill. The Organ Refining Pill was more violent and intense, posing a risk of body damage or even death to cultivators with insufficient constitution. However, the Essence-Nourishing Pill was much gentler, and even cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm could take it without any harm.] [You took out a jade box that you had customized yourself, which could extend the potency of elixirs and slow the rate at which their properties dissipated. This jade box held over a hundred finished Essence-Nourishing Pills, the accumulation of your efforts over the past several months.] [You took out an Essence-Nourishing Pill and swallowed it; its medicinal property was indeed gentle. You just felt a comfortable surge throughout your body, as if your spiritual energy was continually being washed by a fresh breeze, becoming increasingly condensed.] [After spending several hours absorbing the medicinal power of the Essence-Nourishing Pill, you carefully observed the changes within your body. You discovered that the total amount of your spiritual energy had increased by about one percent, and the quality of your spiritual energy had also improved by one percent.] [Overjoyed, you took an Essence-Nourishing Pill every day for the next three months. You felt the spiritual energy within your body was continuous and unending, and your mana had become more than twice as robust as before. Although your cultivation level was still at Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, your strength had at least doubled!] Su Xing paused in shock when he saw thishaving the same cultivation but with strength increased several times over! "It seems my previous cultivation was still not solid enough. As expected, the path of cultivation requires continuous exploration..." "However, the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm is already several times stronger than a silver-level professional... Now that my strength has doubled several times over, doesn''t that mean I''m now comparable to a gold-tier professional?" With a thought, Su Xing realized that when he breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, he might be equivalent to an ordinary Master Level professional. By then, he could completely explore the instance of the waning era of magic. Su Xing''s heart leaped, and he continued to choose to simulate further. [In the twelfth year, after two years of cultivation, you felt your cultivation becoming more consolidated, with a sense of impending breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm...] Chapter 38: Chapter 38 The Human Race Will Be Annihilated! "[However, you did not choose to break through to the Golden Core Realm directly, but continued to suppress your cultivation level, because you felt that the quality of the spiritual energy within your body could further improve.]""[In the thirteenth year, the Essence-Nourishing Herbs you had planted before matured again, and you continued to refine Essence-Nourishing Pills.]" "[It took you three months to refine over a hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills.]" "[You handed over all the two thousand surplus Organ Refining Pills you had accumulated over the years to Lu Yuanwu in advance, then you told everyone not to disturb you.]" "[After making all the preparations, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]" "[In the fourteenth year, it had been a full six months since you began your secluded meditation. You sat inside a thatched cottage, surrounded by rich spiritual energy, which flowed into your body like trickling streams, unceasingly.]" "[Your body was filled with spiritual energy like meandering streams, flowing through your meridians with each pass, as comfortable as the warmth of sunlight.]" "[The spiritual energy within you compressed and condensed continuously, day after day, month after month. You sat still as a stone, as if the entire world was unrelated to you, your entire focus in the relentless surge of spiritual energy.]" "[You knew this was a crucial step from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, the moment when your efforts were about to pay off.]" "[At this time, you had been in seclusion for several months, fasting from food and drink. Although your body was weary, your spirit became more and more invigorated. You clenched your teeth and persevered, continuously guiding the spiritual energy, letting it cleanse and cultivate your meridians.]" "[Finally, on a sunny and breezy morning, you intuitively felt the premonition that you were about to break through.]" "[Soon after, a faint golden light burst forth from within you, shooting up to the sky, illuminating the entire Spirit Field Blessed Land.]" "[It was like a thunderclap exploding in your heart, or a bamboo shoot bursting forth suddenly, a profound sensation erupted, rushing towards your spiritual platformit was the power of the Golden Core. After more than ten years of effort, you had finally achieved the Golden Core Realm.]" Su Xing clenched his fists tightly and murmured to himself, as if it were a fleeting dream: "''Is this... the Golden Core Realm?''" There''s a saying, isn''t there? ''With a Golden Core swallowed into the belly, I command my fate, not the heavens!'' As soon as this simulation ends, Su Xing, with sufficient resources at his disposal, will instantly achieve the Golden Core Stage! Su Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued with the simulation. "[You have become a glorious Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, and your strength has skyrocketed.]" "[Your secluded meditation concluded, and you returned to the real world. The upper echelons of the Great Xia Country''s military were thrilled to learn of your emergence from seclusion, and they sought you out immediately.]" "[The person who came to meet you was still Jin Congxue''s grandfather, Lu Yuanwu, who seemed to have a heavy heart.]" "[You were alarmed and urgently inquired about the matter.]" "[Lu Yuanwu told you that the war at the front was intense, Demon-Subduing Pass could be breached at any moment, even Jin Congxue had already been seriously wounded, and now the number of healing elixirs produced in the instances was decreasing and no longer sufficient for the warriors at the front.]" [You fell silent upon hearing this, you knew that less than a year''s time remained before the beasts would attack and the entire Great Xia Country faced destruction, but you still wanted to try, to see if your efforts could delay the moment the Demon-Subduing Pass would be breached by the beasts.] [Because according to previous simulation experience, by the fourteenth year, the Demon-Subduing Pass should have been breached, and the reason the front line has been able to hold out for an additional year and a half this time around might be because these years the Human Race has provided a large number of elixirs for support.] [Over the past decade and more, you have crafted tens of thousands of Organ Refining Pills, and brought nearly two thousand Grandmaster Level practitioners to the Human Race. Grandmaster Level practitioners, though not the top combat power, are definitely the pillar of the line at the Demon-Subduing Pass.] [You knew, with your strength, it was basically impossible to defeat those powerful members of the Demon Race, even if you had reached the Golden Core Stage, there was still a huge gap.] [Therefore, you decided to take a different approach, crafting more elixirs to create more powerful figures for the Human Race!] Su Xing nodded slightly upon reading this, his goals for this simulation had essentially been achieved. Although his Body Refinement Cultivation Level had not broken through to the Organ Refining Realm, the fact that he managed to break through to the Golden Core Stage was already an unexpected joy. And with the remaining year and a half, he had insufficient time to attempt further breakthroughs in cultivation level or to learn new elixirs. sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. On the contrary, trying to see if he could change or delay the extinction of the Human Race through his own efforts would be a decent attempt. Having made his decision, Su Xing continued with the simulation. [You first provided Lu Yuanwu with a list of herbs, instructing him to give you whatever amount you needed. You told him that you could craft a healing medicine known as a Wound Healing Pill, which could quickly heal serious injuries of Master Level practitioners, and even gradually heal the wounds of Grandmaster Level practitioners.] [Lu Yuanwu was astonished upon hearing this; he candidly said that although the healing potions in the simulation could instantly recover from injuries, they only worked on lower-ranking practitioners. For Master Level, the effectiveness of those healing potions was greatly reduced. As for Grandmaster Level practitioners, they could hardly recover unless they used precious high-level healing potions.] [Your words reignited hope in Lu Yuanwu, and he vigorously supported you, quickly arranging for his subordinates to provide you with a mountain of medicinal herbs.] [You looked at the herbs and set to work. Since you were already at the Golden Core Stage and had just started on the path of Alchemy, you easily crafted these basic tier Wound Healing Pills.] [You found a special metal that could withstand the high temperatures of Li Fire, produced in the simulation, and hired a Master blacksmith to make over a dozen Alchemy Furnaces.] [You began crafting the Wound Healing Pills at an extremely fast pace, and you could multitask, producing five batches of Wound Healing Pills in a single hour.] [In the span of one month, you crafted tens of thousands of Wound Healing Pills, and their influx into the front lines greatly relieved the pressure on the practitioners there.] [By the fifteenth year, through your relentless efforts, you managed to delay the defeat at the Demon-Subduing Pass by a full month, but ultimately, due to the vast difference in power, the losses among the practitioners at the Demon-Subduing Pass grew increasingly severe, and the Pass was finally breached.] [One day, Lu Yuanwu came to you, having lost an arm at the Demon-Subduing Pass, his entire appearance aged by more than a dozen years.] [He told you that the moment of the Human Race''s extinction was not far off, and this wasn''t just because of the fall of the Demon-Subduing Pass, but also because of the continuous death in battle of the Human Race''s top forces.] [You fell silent, looking at the weathered Lu Yuanwu with mixed feelings, and you asked him if there was a way to defeat those demons.] [At this, Lu Yuanwu gave a pale, powerless smile and said, "Unless a miracle occurs, no, unless the Human Race gives birth to a True God Level powerhouse."] Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Breakthrough, Golden Core Stage Cultivator! ```[You wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly, the world trembled, and a giant beast that blotted out the sky appeared in the distant sky.] [Upon seeing the giant beast, Lu Yuanwu''s eyes flickered with a touch of casual resolve. He patted your shoulder and flew straight towards the distant creature.] [At the same time, top warriors from all over Great Xia Country took to the skies, representing the last of the country''s strength.] [However, the gap in strength was terrifyingly vast. The giant beast effortlessly captured all of Great Xia Country''s top warriors in one fell swoop.] [You fell silent for a moment before choosing to enter the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] Su Xing felt a stir in his heart upon seeing this. Perhaps, within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, one could escape this catastrophe? But the simulation result that followed plunged Su Xing into utter despair. [You entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land, which, unlike the earthly purgatory, appeared serene.] [Just when you thought you had managed to escape disaster, the entire Spirit Field Blessed Land started shaking as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, and darkness gradually enveloped the entire land.] [You got caught up in the spatial turbulence, torn to pieces.] [You died, and the simulation ended!] Su Xing took a deep breath after seeing this, unable to come back to his senses for a long while. The gains from this simulation were immense! Apart from advancing his cultivation level to the Golden Core Realm, he learned much secret information about the Human Race, most importantly the coordinates of the three cultivation-related instances! Now, if Su Xing wished, he could explore those instances for himself. "No rush... My strength is still too low. Even at the Golden Core Realm, there''s a slight risk of perishing," he said. Su Xing was very cautious. He knew that even though the strongest NPC mentioned in the instance information was at the Master Level, what if there was some Hidden Master, a Grandmaster Level, or a Heavenly King Level character? Wouldn''t that be game over for him? Therefore, Su Xing decided to play it safe. "Wait until I reach the Nascent Soul, or even the Divinity Transformation Realm. Then, going to that instance should be no problem, right?" Thinking this, Su Xing knew the instance named Luo Tian Grand Meeting would disappear in less than three years. He was determined to explore it before it completely vanished. "But why, even if I hid in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, I still couldn''t escape the giant beast''s attack?" Su Xing frowned slightly. In this simulation, he did his best to delay the doom of the Human Race by one month; this was a significant effort. It was a good attempt; the longer the Human Race survived, the longer he could simulate. At the last moment, Su Xing chose to enter the Spirit Field Blessed Land. But this time, the cause of death was being shredded by spatial turbulence... Su Xing pondered thoughtfully and muttered, "According to Qing Yunzi''s description, this Spirit Field Blessed Land instance should be considered half a blessed land, or perhaps half a mini-world... but perhaps the mini-world exists in the shadow of the macro-world?" A light dawned for Su Xing, and he continued to analyze: "Therefore, when the macro-world is destroyed, the mini-world would also shatter?" Thinking this, Su Xing stroked his chin and murmured: ``` ``` S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Does this mean that each copy could be a small world ripe for exploration at any moment?" "Or maybe... there are some copies that also possess a large world like Earth?" Su Xing shook his head and muttered, "Forget it, why bother thinking so much? Better to choose the reward first!" Su Xing turned his attention to the simulated reward selection below. [Majestic Bearing]: Green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points. [Complete Bone Tempering]: Cultivation level, priced at 11,000 energy points. [Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: After ten years of effort, your alchemy has improved by a step, you can refine Wound Healing Pills to perfection, and you have mastered the method of concocting Essence-Nourishing Pills. Also, your mastery of Organ Refining Pills has reached the Mahayana level. Priced at 100,000 energy points. [Golden Core Stage First Layer]: Cultivation level, swallow a Golden Core and fate is in your hands, not heaven''s. Young man, choose it, and you''ll become a Cultivator of the Golden Core Stage, superior to others, with stronger spiritual energy and mana. But be warned, your Golden Core is only a mid-grade Spirit Pill, and it needs constant refinement and condensation to become a high-grade Golden Core, or even a Nine Revolution Golden Core! Priced at 110,000 energy points. Su Xing first eliminated the Majestic Bearing talent; he already had a dual-type spiritual root of wood and fire, which was like possessing a significant tool, and he didn''t need it to be any larger. "Cultivation at the Golden Core Stage First Layer is a must-choose! It can greatly enhance my strength and even the spiritual energy inside my body... But what the hell is this high-grade Golden Core and Nine Revolution Golden Core they''re talking about?" Su Xing rolled his eyes as if he had already glimpsed a pit waiting for him to fall into. As for the other option, Su Xing hesitated for a moment but chose the Ten Years of Alchemy Experience. After all, it was an experience that included mastery of Organ Refining Pills at the Mahayana level. If Su Xing brought it back, who knows? He might be able to raise his Body Refinement Cultivation Level directly to the Organ Refining Realm in the next simulation! "I choose to take back the Golden Core Stage cultivation level and Ten Years of Alchemy Experience!" A notification sound reached Su Xing''s ears. [Ding, you''ve chosen to take the Ten Years of Alchemy Experience, spending 100,000 energy points, leaving a balance of 307,000 energy points.] [Ding, you''ve chosen to take the Golden Core Stage First Layer cultivation level, spending 110,000 energy points, leaving a balance of 197,000 energy points.] Boom! In Su Xing''s mind, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck from a clear sky; his temperament and body had undergone a massive transformation. Spiritual energy appeared within Su Xing''s body out of nowhere. Like water flowing along its course, his cultivation level increased several fold in a matter of tens of seconds, and the mana within his body was also ten times more substantial. If the spiritual energy in Su Xing''s body was originally a spring, now it was a bubbling stream. Gathering, compressing... and finally, bursting! Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, feeling the spiritual power within him undergo further changes. The stream-like spiritual power began to converge and eventually poured into a deep pool within his bodyhis dantian. The spiritual power inside was like a small seed, which began to sprout slowly, then grew tender leaves, eventually blooming and bearing fruit. Su Xing felt the presence of this fruit, like a tiny Golden Core, residing contentedly within his dantian. Su Xing''s physical strength was now a notch above what it had been before; it was as if every cell in his body was rejoicing. At the same time, Su Xing''s mental strength had also improved during this process, with his divine sense becoming sharper and even his spiritual platform clearer. There was no pain in this process, rather it felt as refreshing as a spring breeze. Finally, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light seemingly passing through them. "Is this... what it feels like to be in the Golden Core Stage?" ``` Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Blue Talent! Su Xing looked at the bottles of Nourishing Face Pill in front of him, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.After making the Nourishing Face Pills, Su Xing skillfully scooped out a ladle of Spiritual Spring water from the well. Su Xing took a big gulp of the sweet and piercingly cold Spiritual Spring water, feeling incredibly refreshed, as it was even tastier than the best drinks in the real world. With a ladle of Spiritual Spring water in his stomach, not only did Su Xing feel energized, but even his depleted Spiritual Energy began to recover more quickly. After quenching his thirst with the Spiritual Spring water, Su Xing took an hour to start farming. First, he watered the Spirit Grains in the Spirit Field, then he tended to the medicinal herb field that he had planted earlier. The medicinal herbs in the field had started to sprout, and Su Xing had planted more than an acre of them. Although these Spiritual Medicines would take years, even decades, to be effective, they were absolutely necessary in the simulator. After taking care of the Spirit Field, Su Xing opened up a small plot of land and planted some new spiritual seeds. Most of these seeds came from Qing Yunzi''s leftover stash, and although Su Xing didn''t recognize many of them, that didn''t stop him from planting them first and asking questions later. Another portion of the seeds were carefully selected by Su Xing from the medicinal herb market. These seeds were often more spiritual and, when planted in the Spirit Field, could potentially become usable Spiritual Medicine in one or two years. While they weren''t as effective as those left by Qing Yunzi, they had the advantage of growing quickly and being plentiful in number. After two hours of hard work, Su Xing felt an unspeakable sense of contentment but didn''t rush to rest, instead heading to the chicken coop he had built. The dozens of Spirit Chickens, after more than a month of breeding, had become even more plump. And a few of them were already hatching eggs, with the second generation of Spirit Chickens soon to emerge. Su Xing skillfully collected some chicken eggs and picked some wild vegetables from outside the Spirit Field, making a large plate of fried Spirit Chicken eggs with wild vegetables. He also took out Spiritual Spring water and cooked a pot of Spirit Rice. The rice steamed with Spiritual Spring water and the fried vegetables were fragrant, greatly stimulating one''s appetite. Su Xing ate mouthfuls of Spirit Rice, tasting a bite of egg and vegetables, and felt even more satisfied. "Burp~" After finishing his meal, Su Xing comfortably burped and murmured, "Ah, if only life could always remain simple, plain, and unadorned like this..." S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing shook his head slightly. Although he too wished to laze around every day, farming and raising chickens, the impending event in more than a dozen years loomed over him like the Sword of Damocles, preventing him from relaxing completely. After putting some pressure on himself as a reminder, Su Xing was once again full of motivation to start a new round of elixir making. "Hmm, making more Nourishing Face Pills could also accumulate more money... then I''ll have even more energy points!" thought Su Xing. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. Su Xing handed over the two hundred Nourishing Face Pills he had prepared in advance to the envoy sent by Jin Congxue and received white equipment worth a billion Great Xia Coins Jin Congxue had prepared for him. A total of one hundred and ten thousand pieces of white equipment were absorbed by Su Xing using the simulator, converted into simulator energy. With this, Su Xing''s simulator energy reached another peak, arriving at a staggering eight hundred thousand points! The surge in energy points gave Su Xing a great sense of security. December 31, 2023, of the New Era. On the last day of 2023, Su Xing initiated his seventeenth life simulation. Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing took a bite of a boiled Spirit Chicken egg and activated the simulator. "Begin simulation!" [1700 points of energy consumed, 803,000 energy points remaining, unlimited remaining simulation times.] [Simulation begins!] ``` [Extracting white talent costs 100 energy points, green talent costs 1,000 energy points, and extracting blue talent costs 10,000 energy points. Do you wish to extract?] "Extract the green talent... Eh, wait a minute, why is there a blue-quality talent now?" Su Xing had initially subconsciously wanted to choose the green talent, but he unexpectedly discovered that the talent he could extract had been upgraded by one level. Therefore, Su Xing asked in confusion, "Why is there suddenly a blue talent? Why wasn''t there one before?" Su Xing had simply asked casually, but he didn''t expect to actually receive an answer. [Ding, because the host was really too poor before, now that you have enough energy, you can naturally activate the next level of talent...] Su Xing: ??? Damn, does even the system discriminate against the poor nowadays? Su Xing was dissatisfied, but he still chose the blue talent. "I want to choose the blue talent." [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the blue talent, Sword Dao Genius!] [Sword Dao Genius]: A blue talent, your insight into the sword surpasses ordinary people, and your cultivation speed in the Sword Dao is ten times that of an ordinary person! Upon seeing this talent, Su Xing paused for a moment; he seemed to have extracted a green talent called Sword Dao Prodigy before. And this Sword Dao Genius, seemed to be an advanced version of the Sword Dao Prodigy? "Damn, why does it seem like they really want me to become a Sword Cultivator! But I don''t have a sword manual, so how am I supposed to practice the sword? Could it be time to practice the Sunflower Sword Scripture?" Su Xing looked down at himself and then shook his head. It''s so big, cutting it all off would lead to death from excessive blood loss! Su Xing felt somewhat helpless; he hadn''t expected his first extraction of a blue talent to yield such a "useless" one. Su Xing decided to continue with the simulation. [Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation, and during this instance, you decide to make further contact with the Descending Sect to find an opportunity to obtain the second half of the Changchun Technique.] [You don''t act rashly but continue alchemy and cultivation daily, occasionally keeping in touch with Wang Qingxuan.] [After more than half a year, one day, Wang Qingxuan sought you out.] [Wang Qingxuan tells you that a mysterious organization has invited her to join.] [You understand in your heart that it''s the Descending Sect making another move, and the night after, Wang Qingxuan withdraws from school.] [You obtain a means of contact from Wang Qingxuan while continuing to produce elixirs.] [Since you plan to make contact with the Descending Sect, you must demonstrate your value.] [You know that after making contact with the Descending Sect and revealing your abilities, you will go to one of two extremes. The first possibility is that they might treat you as a heartless alchemy machine; the second is that they will regard you as an honored guest and might even give you the second half of the Changchun Technique.] [You patiently wait and strive hard to improve your cultivation level.] [In the second year, your Body Refinement Cultivation reaches the third level of the Bone Forging Realm, with no progress in your Qi Refining Cultivation.] [In the third year, your Body Refinement Cultivation reaches the fifth level of the Bone Forging Realm, with your Qi Refining Cultivation still hovering at the first level of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the fourth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation breaks through to the seventh level of the Bone Forging Realm, while your Qi Refining Cultivation remains at the first level of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the fifth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation reaches the ninth level of the Bone Forging Realm; at the same time, the Essence-Nourishing Herbs you previously planted have matured. You spend over a month creating a total of two hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills, beginning to aim at improving the quality of your Spiritual Energy.] [Six months later, your cultivation level advances to the second level of the Golden Core Stage, and you feel a significant enhancement in the quality of the Spiritual Power inside your body, with your Mana becoming even more substantial.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan seeks you out...] ``` Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Join the Descending Sect, Win Trust! [You had been waiting for this day for a long time, so you had made preparations early.][Indeed, the night after, Wang Qingxuan gave you the first half of the Changchun Technique. You didn''t accept it, but instead proposed to join the Descending Sect.] [Wang Qingxuan hesitated, telling you bluntly that this would plunge you into the Endless Abyss. However, under your persistence, Wang Qingxuan agreed.] [After lingering with each other for a day, Wang Qingxuan took you to meet an elder from her squad.] [The elder scrutinized you carefully, seeming to think you were just a minor bronze-level professional, and so he spoke directly about your insufficient strength. But for the sake of Wang Qingxuan''s face, he was willing to allow you to join reluctantly.] [You knew it was time to prove your worth. Thus, you drew a machete and directly chopped at a member of the Descending Sect beside you.] [Since you controlled your strength well, the sect member wasn''t killed outright but ended up with a huge wound on their arm several inches long, deep enough to expose bone.] [The elder was stunned for a moment, followed by a sudden rage. He thought you were overestimating yourself and challenging the dignity of the Descending Sect, so he ordered a dozen sect members to surround you.] [In a desperate situation, Wang Qingxuan stood in front of you, trying to protect you.] [You, however, reassured her, gently pushed her aside, and took out an elixir, stuffing it into the mouth of the injured sect member.] [A miraculous scene unfolded, as the wound on the sect member''s arm began to scab over rapidly, though their complexion was still fairly pale.] [You then fed them a subpar Blood Replenishing Pill, and soon, the gravely injured sect member quickly bounced back to life.] [The elder was taken aback by what he heard and began to look at you with a peculiar gaze.] [You claimed you were an alchemist and that the miraculous elixirs were your creation, expressing your longstanding desire to join the Descending Sect.] [At the same time, you announced your wish for a higher status, not wanting to start as a mere underling, and you told the elder that he wasn''t qualified to decide and to call someone with more authority in the sect to come to you.] [The elder''s eyes flickered with doubt upon hearing this. Although he found your claim a bit far-fetched, he recognized your value. A master able to craft such healing sacred medicine was definitely not for him to decide.] [So, the elder took good care of you while arranging for someone to keep an eye on you. He informed you that, at the latest in three days, a protector-level figure would come to assess you. Should you pass the assessment, you would become an elder like him.] sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Phew..." Su Xing exhaled a heavy breath, his emotions somewhat stirred. He had put all his chips on the table in this simulation, revealing his value to the Descending Sect. He might gain tremendous benefits or unwittingly cause the simulation to fail! "However... since it''s just a simulation, obtaining the Changchun Technique is what matters the most!" Su Xing continued with the simulation. [Three days later, an old man came to you, verifying the effects of the Wound Healing Pill for himself. He found it comparable to some mid-quality healing drugs, immediately realizing its value.] [At the same time, the old man appeared very curious about how you could concoct such remarkable elixirs.] [You openly claimed that you were a Cultivator and had fortuitously acquired alchemy skills, enabling you to produce elixirs in large quantities. Additionally, you mentioned that aside from Wound Healing Pills, you could craft several other more precious elixirs.] [Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile appeared on the old man''s face, as if he had already known this. He declared that you had told the truth, and if you had lied just now, he would have killed you on the spot.] [Afterwards, he informed you that you could be temporarily given the position of vice elder and would undergo an inspection for one year. Following a successful inspection, they would grant you the official position of an elder!] Upon reading this, Su Xing''s expression cleared up as he murmured to himself, "Just as I thought, the Descending Sect definitely has a profound understanding of the Cultivation World! They even know the elixirs I''ve been crafting are specifically for cultivators... So, could it be that they have access to an entrance to a cultivation copycat?" Su Xing was immediately excited, realizing he still knew too little about the Cultivation World. Especially about the cultivation techniques, he didn''t have a mentor and had to fumble through everything on his own. So if he could learn more about the Cultivation World through this Descending Sect, that would be a massive gain! Su Xing took a deep breath and continued simulating. [You agreed to the protector''s request and joined the Descending Sect!] [The Descending Sect couldn''t operate openly like the official sects; instead, they were more like rats in the sewers, staying hidden.] [The elder referring to himself as Shadow Protector issued you your first monthly task, demanding you to craft five hundred Wound Healing Pills and a hundred Organ Refining Pills.] [You pointed out the lack of materials for alchemy and requested more medicinal herbs to craft the elixirs.] [The Shadow Elder agreed to your request, and the next day he had his subordinates deliver a large batch of medicinal herbs.] [You reported an inflated number of materials, embezzling the majority of the herbs secretly and then crafting five hundred Wound Healing Pills and a hundred Organ Refining Pills with some leftovers.] [It seemed they were none the wiser to your subterfuge, taking it as your alchemy skills being just that, and they commented that the elixirs you produced were very potent, hence they requested more elixirs from you.] [As you kept supplying the Descending Sect with elixirs, your status within the sect grew higher and higher; even the elder who had looked down on you before now warmly addressed you as ''Little Brother,'' and you became a rising star within the Descending Sect.] [With your status ever increasing, you gained deeper insights into some of the sect''s closely-guarded secrets.] [Half a year went by in this fashion, during which you provided the Descending Sect with thousands of Wound Healing Pills and nearly a thousand Organ Refining Pills. The sect''s suspicions about you grew increasingly less, and they started considering you as one of their own.] [As you continuously proved your worth, the higher-ups in the sect provided you with increasingly precious medicinal materials, including some spiritual medicines that were potent enough for you to attempt crafting new elixirs.] [You secretly kept these spiritual medicines for yourself and started experimenting with the creation of a new elixir, the Essence-Nourishing Pill.] Su Xing nodded slightly upon reading this. The Essence-Nourishing Pill and the Essence-Nourishing Herb are both considered inferior-grade elixirs, but their effects are vastly different. The Essence-Nourishing Pill is crucial for gently nurturing a cultivator''s physique and mana, enhancing spiritual energy. But the Essence-Nourishing Pill is actually meant to boost a cultivator''s Divine Sense, a concept both arcane and profound, akin to a cultivator''s sixth sense. The Changchun Technique briefly mentioned Divine Sense, indicating it is a technique that Nascent Soul Stage cultivators can grasp. However, even at the Golden Core Stage, consuming Essence-Nourishing Pills could bring about great benefits, like enhancing control over spiritual power, and so on. It''s just that the main ingredient, the Essence-Nourishing Herb, is quite valuable, indeed even more precious than the Essence-Nourishing Herb itself. [You swindled the Descending Sect into giving you hundreds of Essence-Nourishing Herbs and began attempting to craft the Essence-Nourishing Pills on your own!] Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill, the Sects Treasure Vault! "The refining of Essence-Nourishing Pills was not much more difficult than that of Organ Refining Pills, but your alchemy skills have improved greatly, and you soon mastered the art of making Essence-Nourishing Pills.""Three more months had passed, and during those months, you attempted to refine hundreds of batches of Essence-Nourishing Pills, but only succeeded with twenty batches. Afterward, you dedicated yourself to studying the Essence-Nourishing Pills, and your technique gradually became more proficient." "In the seventh year, it has been over a year since you joined the Descending Sect. Throughout this year, you appeared to be diligently aiding the Descending Sect with alchemy, but in reality, you were using their resources to improve your own alchemy skills." "Thanks to an abundant supply of medicinal herbs, you have hardly run out of Organ Refining Pills this year. Hundreds of Organ Refining Pills have made your Spiritual Energy more solid, and you feel your strength has grown by more than half compared to before." "But what helped you the most were the Essence-Nourishing Pills. You could feel your Divine Sense growing stronger, although it had not yet reached the point of condensing into form. However, you could now easily introspect, having a far greater control over the Spiritual Energy, meridians, and even your Dantian than ever before." "Of course, the most crucial point was, as your Divine Sense grew stronger, so did your alchemy skills, improving rapidly. Your control over the alchemy flame and timing became even more exquisite." Su Xing nodded satisfactorily upon reading this. The refining of Essence-Nourishing Pills strengthened his Divine Sense, which, in turn, nourished his alchemy skills; and as his alchemy skills further enhanced, it enabled Su Xing to produce more, higher-quality Essence-Nourishing Pills, creating a positive cycle. With sufficient Organ Refining Pills, Su Xing''s Spiritual Energy became more solid, and his Golden Core more flawless. Perhaps, Su Xing was not far from achieving a superior-quality Golden Core? Moreover, to Su Xing''s surprise, the Descending Sect''s grasp of Spiritual Medicine and the Cultivation World was far superior to that of the Great Xia Military, providing a tremendous boost to his Cultivation Level. It seemed like Su Xing was working for the Descending Sect, but in reality, the Descending Sect was providing him with free resources for cultivation. "I just wonder if there are resources like Spirit Stones within the Descending Sect, in addition to these Spiritual Medicines?" Su Xing felt a slight longing in his heart. He usually was reluctant to use Spirit Stones for cultivation, as the number of Spirit Stones he owned was always low, and using them would leave him without enough Spirit Stones for simulations. Nevertheless, Su Xing also had to spend a few Spirit Stones when refining elixirs. Over the past month, Su Xing''s stock of Spirit Stones had dwindled to less than a thousand, with no channels for replenishment. If Spirit Stones were to run out completely, Su Xing might truly become immobilized. "The Spirit Stones in my possession should be enough for another year or so... If I''m frugal, perhaps even a bit longer, but before the Spirit Stones are exhausted, I must find other sources of Spirit Stones." With this thought in mind, Su Xing continued with the simulation. "One day, after providing a new batch of two hundred Organ Refining Pills, that Shadow Protector found you again. His words were generous with praise, indicating that you had the potential to become a leading figure among the new generation of the Descending Sect." "In front of hundreds of sect members, the Shadow Protector announced you as the eighteenth Elder of the Descending Sect and granted you the title ''Medicine''. The rest of the sect respectfully addressed you as Elder Medicine." "After becoming an Elder of the Descending Sect, your privileges had significantly increased. You were now entitled to establish a dedicated team and you gained the qualification to enter the sect''s treasure vault!" "You requested that Elder you knew before to transfer Wang Qingxuan under your command. Given your newfound status, the other Elders respected you greatly and naturally agreed to your modest request." "With Wang Qingxuan''s assistance, your work became much more efficient. Not only did she help you discreetly investigate the overall strength of the Descending Sect, but she also made your life much more pleasant." "After completing your monthly alchemy task, you prepared to visit the Descending Sect''s treasure vault with Wang Qingxuan in tow." Reading this, Su Xing wore an expression of amusement; he had actually become an Elder of the Descending Sect, and they even called him Elder Medicine? At the same time, Su Xing was also astonished, for he knew the Elder he had met previously was at least of Heavenly King Level strength, and he was the eighteenth Elder... This meant that the Descending Sect had at least seventeen individuals of Heavenly King Level strength! Not to mention the Protectors above the Elders, who were likely to be Martial Emperor Level fighters! Martial Emperor Level fighters were few in the Great Xia Country, numbering only in the hundreds, yet the Descending Sect boasted such powerhouses, a clear indication that this faction was far from ordinary.

Of course, what Su Xing was most interested in at the moment was the so-called treasury of the Descending Sect. "The treasury of the sect... Could the second half of the Changchun Technique be inside?" A trace of longing appeared in Su Xing''s heart as he continued to simulate. [Access to the treasury is limited to sect members at the elder level and must be accompanied by a protector before entering the treasury.] [Under the guidance of Elder Shadow, you enter the location of the treasury. To your surprise, this so-called treasury does not seem to be in the real world, but in a special replica.] A thought crossed Su Xing''s mind upon seeing this; establishing the treasury within a special replica was quite a bold move. It''s well-known that replicas carry the risk of disappearing. If the replica vanished one day, wouldn''t the Descending Sect''s treasury be utterly lost? Su Xing wanted to witness for himself what this so-called treasury was really like. Thus, with a thought, he said: "I want to exchange for one hour of immersive simulation!" [Ding, you will spend 100,000 points for a one-hour immersive simulation. Remaining points: 693,000.] The voice of the simulator sounded in Su Xing''s ears. Su Xing only felt his vision shift abruptly as he arrived in an unfamiliar place. This place was clearly outdoors, with clear waters and lush mountains. In the distance, peaks rose one after another, and occasionally one could see life in the form of rabbits and deer sprinting through the woods. This was clearly not the real world, because with the development of technology, there were almost no areas on Blue Star where nature was preserved so perfectly anymore. Next to Su Xing were several companions, wearing masks and long robes that concealed their identities. Among them, Su Xing recognized one petite figure at a glanceit was Wang Qingxuan. "Elder Medicine, what''s happened to you?" A man in a black robe walking ahead turned back and asked. His voice was very magnetic and androgynous, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female. Su Xing, just having entered the simulator and caught off guard by the sudden question, was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered. He said with a smile: "I was thinking, the scenery in this replica is truly beautiful! In the real world, you can no longer see such sights!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Shadow Protector''s voice contained some surprise, as he puzzled: "Could it be, Elder Medicine is also considering joining our Nature Faction?" Su Xing felt puzzled upon hearing this. What was the Nature Faction? Was this a division within the Descending Sect? Thus, Su Xing asked: "Shadow Protector, what is the Nature Faction?" Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Factions Within the Descending Sect, Arrival at the Sects Treasure Vault The Shadow Protector obviously had high hopes for Su Xing, so he patiently explained:"Our Descending Sect has been established for nearly a thousand years. Through the millennia, three factions have formed within the sect: the Nature Faction, the Zealot Faction, and the Coexistence Faction!" Pausing for a moment, the Shadow Protector continued: "Those in the Zealot Faction are a bunch of lunatics and also the most numerous and powerful faction within our sect. They worship the Supreme Lord and wish to sacrifice themselves to allow the Sovereign Race to descend upon Blue Star and feast upon all humans there, including themselves!" Su Xing frowned slightly after hearing this. The Zealot Faction was clearly the radical element within the Descending Sect, willing to sacrifice even themselves to bring in those Demonic Beasts from the Foreign Race, a concept beyond comprehension. "As for the Coexistence Faction, they pin their hopes on the great Sovereign Race''s pity for our Human Race, hoping that after the invasion of the real world, the Sovereign Race will spare most of the Human Race in consideration of the Descending Sect''s efforts... Of course, in my opinion, those of the Coexistence Faction have also been kicked in the head by a donkey. We ants, why should we coexist with the great Sovereign Race? We''re not worthy!" Su Xing showed a hint of bemusement on his face upon hearing the words of the Shadow Protector. The Coexistence Faction within the Descending Sect seemed to retain some humanity, believing that the strength of the Foreign Demonic Beasts far exceeded that of the Human Race and thus wished to surrender to ensure the survival of humankind. But Su Xing knew in his heart that such a thing was utterly impossible. Once the Foreign Race descended upon the real world, they would consume the entire world, and there would be no talk of coexistence then. In Su Xing''s view, the war between the Foreign Race and the Human Race was clearly a war of annihilation, and it was ridiculous for the Coexistence Faction to pin their hopes on the pity of the Foreign Race. So Su Xing asked: "Shadow Protector, what then is the goal of our Nature Faction?" Filled with longing, the Shadow Protector said: "We of the Nature Faction strive to be close to the world''s most original and natural side... In this materially corrupt world, we believe that nature is the closest to truth!" Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this, thinking to himself that if the goal was only to cherish nature, the Nature Faction seemed rather sane. Unexpectedly, what the Shadow Protector said next left Su Xing utterly speechless. The Shadow Protector spoke with some zeal: "And humans are naturally the lowest race! They have nothing to do with nature! Only the great Sovereign Race is the species that is closest to truth and nature on this world!" "Therefore, we must look up to nature and become part of the Sovereign Race, even if it is only as a lower member of the Sovereign Race, it would suffice to grant us the right to be close to nature!" Upon saying this, the Shadow Protector slightly lifted his black robe to reveal his abdomen. Su Xing was stunned, as he saw a large area of black substance resembling octopus suckers and organs writhing wildly on the Shadow Protector''s belly. Is... is this even a human organ anymore? Su Xing immediately felt nauseous. The Shadow Protector''s skin didn''t seem to retain any trace of human form. Yet, the Shadow Protector was still proud, saying: "This is the great Sovereign Race''s gift to me. We in the Nature Faction hope to transform from the Human Race gradually into the Sovereign Race through modification, to become part of the Sovereign Race! I have modified nearly one-fifth of my whole body and have even received the organs of a great Shadow Beast, which is why I possess such immense power!" S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Watching the Shadow Protector''s fervent demeanor, Su Xing was at a loss for words. So the so-called Nature Faction involves implanting organs of the Foreign Race into human bodies? Eventually turning into beasts that are neither human nor animal! From this perspective, the Nature Faction, the Zealot Faction, or even the Coexistence Faction, none are the thoughts of someone of sound mind! Su Xing unconsciously stepped half a pace away from the Shadow Protector, this guy was really disgusting! But the Shadow Protector didn''t seem to feel anything and continued to say to himself: "Elder Yao! Our Nature Faction''s strength is definitely one of the top two among the three factions, and the faction leader even possesses half of the main race''s bodies! As long as you are willing to join our Nature Faction, I will certainly report to the organization and find you a perfect main race body!" After hearing this, Su Xing''s smile froze on his face, what? Becoming a monster that''s neither human nor beast, who would want that? So, Su Xing forced a smile and said: "Ahem, Shadow Protector, let''s discuss this matter another time! I am still a newly-appointed Elder in the sect, not yet worthy of such regard!" The Shadow Protector seemed to think there was nothing wrong with what Su Xing said, so he nodded and said no more. Soon, the group entered deep into the mountains, where the mountain range stretched on and on, and the Shadow Protector led everyone to a huge rock outside a cliff. This giant rock was more than thirty feet high and looked no different from an ordinary stone. But the Shadow Protector took out a token and placed it into a slot on the giant rock, then he spoke to the rock: "Dragon Protector! We have come to have a look at the sect''s treasury!" Before long, a transparent light screen appeared on the giant rock, and the Shadow Protector waved to Su Xing, then took the lead and walked in. Su Xing followed closely behind, his heart in turmoil. "Formation! This is definitely a Formation from the Cultivation World! And this method is very similar to the Sect Protection Array used by Cultivation sects! It looks no different from an ordinary rock on the outside, but it contains a unique hidden realm within!" Su Xing''s heart was pounding as he entered the Formation. Once inside the Formation, it was a completely different world. An old man with an aged face was dozing off at the entrance to the vault, not even bothering to flicker his eyelids. However, the Shadow Protector seemed to have great respect for him, taking out two jars of fine wine and placing them beside the old man, then activating a mechanism to open the treasury. Su Xing followed closely behind, and as soon as he walked into the treasury, he was shocked by the mountainous hoard of treasures. The treasury was dozens of feet high, and the interior space was as vast as a plaza. Although there was no sunlight penetrating inside, the treasury was brightly lit because rows of Luminous Pearls were embedded in the mountain, illuminating the interior like daylight. Even more exaggerated was the countless gold and silver treasures, piled up on the ground of the treasury like garbage, their value beyond measure. Su Xing had no doubt that if these treasures were to be taken to the real world, they could probably buy an entire country! Billions, trillions? No, perhaps the unit of ''billion'' was no longer sufficient to describe the wealth before his eyes... But oddly enough, such a large number of treasures were actually the least valuable things in the treasury, casually scattered on the ground as if they were worthless. The Shadow Elder took Su Xing across a floor paved with gold and pearls, walking dozens of meters further into the treasury before starting to introduce: "Elder Yao, without any exaggeration, our Descending Sect''s treasury can even rival the national treasury of the Great Xia... Apart from these worthless things under our feet, the treasury is divided into several areas, including: artifact area, equipment area, book area, heavenly materials and earthly treasures area... You have half an hour to freely select treasures, but the items in the treasury cannot be taken out at will, they require a certain amount of points to be paid..." After hearing this, Su Xing felt a wave of embarrassment. The tons of gold and jewels under your feet... are the least valuable things in your eyes? But when he saw the true treasures in the treasury, Su Xing chose to keep his mouth shut... Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The Secret Method of Condensing Dan, The Mysterious Sect Elder Su Xing took several dozen steps forward.In the depths of the treasury, he saw dozens of shelves that were several stories high. The shelves were also labeled with all sorts of tags, not only those mentioned by the Shadow Protector earlier, but even skill scrolls, recovery potions, rare materials, and other varieties. Most of the items here were usable by professionals, far more numerous in variety than those Su Xing had seen in the Jin Merchant Guild. Su Xing didn''t linger in these areas for long but made his way directly to the ancient texts section. Within the ancient texts section, contrary to Su Xing''s expectations of peerless cultivation techniques, the majority were cultivators'' insights into cultivation, strategies for certain copies, and even secrets of the Human Race from the past thousand years. For example, there was a book called "Elder Fengyue and His Hundred and Eight Boyfriends'' Unspeakable Stories," which seemed to record the lascivious life of an elder named Fengyue. However, it was actually a travelogue that contained many secrets of the major forces in Blue Star. Or there was "Hermit Changyang''s Hundred-Day Record of Infiltrating the Abyss with His Succubus Girlfriend," which also described information about some demons within an instance called the Abyss. Su Xing quickly scanned the area, searching for his objectivethe cultivation techniques. After flipping through the travelogues and secret histories piled on top and wiping off the thick dust, Su Xing spent more than twenty minutes before he finally found two cultivator techniques. One was called the Nurturing Body Decision, and the other was the Congealing Elixir Technique. Su Xing only glanced briefly at the Nurturing Body Decision without giving it much thought because it was just a basic-level cultivation technique. It was hardly enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but it was decent for ordinary people to cultivate their minds and bodies and prolong their lives. However, for Su Xing, who already possessed the Changchun Technique, it was of no use. What truly caught Su Xing off guard was the Congealing Elixir Technique, because, according to the description in this ancient text, it was a secret method that could help cultivators better condense their Golden Cores! This technique detailed the qualities of Golden Coreslow-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and even the higher Nine Revolution Golden Core, which was exactly the same as the levels told to Su Xing by the simulator. The method described in this technique to enhance the quality of a Golden Core was to compress Spiritual Power and infuse it into the Golden Core! S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing could not judge the authenticity of this technique, but for now, he had no better way to condense his Golden Core. If he relied solely on the accumulation of time to condense his Golden Core, Su Xing feared it would take him decades of simulation time to cultivate a Nine Revolution Golden Core, which would be too wasteful of simulation runs. But for Su Xing, who had such a great cheat as the simulator, not pursuing the Nine Revolution Golden Core would truly be a waste. Therefore, this Congealing Elixir Technique was essential for Su Xing, the only pity being that he didn''t find the latter half of the Changchun Technique. At that moment, the Shadow Protector appeared behind Su Xing and looking at the technique in his hand, asked with some confusion: "Does Elder Yao wish to cultivate? Ah right, I forgot, your profession is that of a cultivator! But in our world, there is no Spiritual Energy, how can you perform cultivation?" Hearing this, Su Xing explained: "Shadow Protector, cultivation and alchemy are branches of the same origin, alchemy is the external elixir method, while cultivation is the internal elixir method... Although I am not destined for the path of immortality, I still aspire to concoct more and better elixirs for the sect, so naturally I must learn this Congealing Elixir Method!" The Shadow Protector was somewhat stupefied by Su Xing''s righteous words, and after a while, nodded, somewhat moved, and said: "Alas, Elder Yao truly is a rising star within the sect! Such enlightenment, even I am ashamed to compare myself with! If Elder Yao had joined our sect ten years earlier, who knows, by now he might already be at the level of a protector!" Su Xing felt a little embarrassed by the flattery from the Shadow Protector, as he was not doing it for the Descending Sect but clearly for himself! Indubitably, discovering the method for condensing a Golden Core was an unexpected reward, yet Su Xing''s primary objective remained the second half of the Changchun Technique, which he had not yet found. Thus, Su Xing asked with some curiosity, "Shadow Protector, to be honest, I am quite fascinated by the matter of cultivation and wish to catch a glimpse of the ancient texts on cultivation. Unfortunately, I''ve not had the opportunity. I wonder if our sect possesses such ancient texts; I would love to feast my eyes!" After hearing this, the Shadow Protector spoke with a hint of pride in his voice, "Elder Yao has indeed asked the right person! When it comes to the mastery of cultivation texts, our Descending Sect is without a doubt the foremost power on Blue Star! Not even the officialities of Great Xia Country can come close to our level!" "However, the more profound cultivation techniques of the cultivation faction are all controlled by those zealots. To exchange for those techniques, I''m afraid you''ll need to spend quite a few contribution points..." Hearing this, Su Xing''s heart stirred, and he inquired, "Oh? Shadow Protector... how many contribution points would it require? I have completed numerous alchemy tasks over the past year and have saved up ten thousand contribution points. Would that be sufficient?" The Shadow Protector shook his head and said, "Ten thousand contribution points would be more than enough to exchange for the first half of a technique such as the Changchun Technique... However, the second half of this technique requires a hundred thousand contribution points. You''re still far from enough..." Su Xing was stunned upon hearing this. The first half of the technique is worth a few thousand contribution points, and the second half is worth a hundred thousand? Are you kidding me? Su Xing, a bit helpless, then asked, "Shadow Protector, why is the exchange for this technique so expensive?" The Shadow Protector explained, "It''s because Protector Zong of the zealot faction, just like you, is incredibly obsessed with matters of cultivation. Moreover, he joined the sect quite early and has been around for several hundred years, making him one of the most powerful protectors. He has long since used his contribution points to purchase most of the cultivation-related items within the sect. To buy from him, naturally, the price is exorbitant..." Powerful professionals who reach the Heavenly King level undergo a life transformation, after which people''s lifespan increases significantly, turning them into beings of longevity. Heavenly King level professionals, if they do not die in battle, living three to five hundred years is normal. As for protector-level professionals, who are at least at the Martial Emperor level, living five or six hundred years is not difficult. Hearing the words of Sect Elder, Su Xing''s gaze flickered, obsessed with cultivation objects, one of the most powerful protectors... Suddenly, Su Xing remembered an old man he had encountered in one of the simulations before. That old man was interested in his Spirit Rice and had planned to torture him to death to extract information about the Spirit Rice. Now, with the description from the Shadow Protector, Su Xing suspected that old man was likely Protector Zong. "But why... why is Protector Zong so obsessed with the matter of cultivation? Could it be that his profession is also that of a cultivator?" Su Xing pondered for a while, then shook his head. "Impossible, the profession panel states that the profession of cultivator is unique to me alone... So Protector Zong definitely can''t be a cultivator, but why he is so obsessed with the matter of cultivation, there must be some great secret behind it!" Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Other Cultivators, Nine Revolution Golden Core! Su Xing''s heart trembled wildly upon seeing this.Soul Searching Technique! This was definitely a spell that only Cultivators would master! Yet in this world, the only person with the profession of a practitioner was supposedly himself. After all, Cultivator was the sole hidden profession! But why, then, could this Dragon Protector use a spell unique to Cultivators? "Wait a second... Is this Dragon Protector really a professional?" Su Xing''s mind stirred, indeed there was only one person with the Cultivator profession in this world, and that was Su Xing himself, but there were definitely other Cultivators besides him. Not to look too far, just take Su Xing''s master, Qing Yunzi, who came from the side branch of the Qingyun Sect, right? "So... is there a possibility that this protector comes from the characters within a certain copy?" The more Su Xing thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, especially since those Demonic Beasts from the Foreign Races came from other copies but could invade the real world. And this Dragon Protector, being from a certain copy and indigenous to that copy, that would explain things. The connection between the Descending Sect and the Foreign Races was very close, which made this a possibility! Su Xing took a deep breath, the secrets of the Descending Sect were multiplying, even causing him a spine-tingling sense of horror. They could not only contact the Foreign Races but also form alliances with some NPCs from the copies. The Descending Sect''s waters were deeper than he had imagined. "Luckily, I haven''t gotten involved with the Descending Sect in the real world... otherwise, no amount of lives would be enough to spare!" Su Xing felt some relief, then thought: "However, the Descending Sect is indeed a good place to grind for experience, as long as one doesn''t personally go into the sect''s treasury, they could still gain many benefits." Su Xing shook his head lightly and turned his attention to the simulation rewards. [Sword Dao Genius]: Blue talent, price 100,000 energy points. [Bone Tempering Great Perfection]: Cultivation Level, price 11,000 energy points. [Seven Years of Alchemy Experience]: Contains your seven years of insights into alchemy, including proficient mastery of formulas like the Essence-Nourishing Pill and the Spirit-Nourishing Pill, price 70,000 energy points. [Triple Layer of Golden Core Stage]: Qi Refining Cultivation of the third layer of the Golden Core Stage, and due to your continuous consumption of the Essence-Nourishing Pill, the Spirit Pill within your Dantian has become more solid, nearing the quality of a top-grade Spirit Pill. Price 200,000 energy points. [Concentration Pill Technique]: A secret method for concentrating pills, capable of condensing up to a Nine Revolution Golden Core, very precious to a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, price 100,000 energy points. [One Hundred and Twenty Spiritual Medicines]: Price 600,000 energy points. Su Xing fell into thought as he looked at the five rewards before him. Firstly, the Concentration Pill Technique had to be a chosen reward, since he nearly lost his life obtaining this secret technique, and if he didn''t choose it, he would inevitably have to visit the treasury of the Descending Sect again in the next simulation, which meant another death. As for the option of one hundred and twenty Spiritual Medicines, it could be excluded, as the price was too high, and Su Xing did not need such high-level Spiritual Medicines for refining Nourishing Face Pills for now. After hesitating for a long time, Su Xing still chose the seven years of Alchemy Experience from among the cultivation experience, talent, and Alchemy Experience. The reason was the same, though the Sword Dao Genius seemed tempting, Su Xing temporarily did not possess the Sword Cultivator''s cultivation technique, so it would be a waste. "I choose the seven years of Alchemy Experience, as well as the Concentration Pill Technique!" As Su Xing''s words fell, a prompt sound came to his ear. [Ding, you have chosen to carry out seven years of Alchemy Experience, costing 70,000 points of energy, leaving a remaining energy balance of 623,000 points.] [Ding, you have chosen to carry out the secret technique of Condensing Core, costing 100,000 points of energy, leaving a remaining energy balance of 523,000 points.] A deluge of alchemy memories flooded into Su Xing''s mind, making him feel that his grasp on the Essence-Nourishing Pill and the Spirit-Nourishing Pill had advanced even further. Upon opening the Professional Panel, it turned out to be true, Su Xing had already mastered the method to refine Spirit-Nourishing Pills at an accomplished level, and his Essence-Nourishing Pills had reached the Mahayana Level. Meanwhile, an ancient secret manual had appeared in Su Xing''s hands. The cover was inscribed with three bold characters, written in a dragon-and-phoenix calligraphy style: Condensing Core Technique. Unable to wait, Su Xing immediately flipped open the Condensing Core Technique to start reviewing its contents; two hours later, he slowly lifted his head, a smile spreading across his face. The Condensing Core Technique was not difficult to learn; one could successfully master this secret technique in just a matter of days. However, the difficult part was the constant refining and condensing of the Golden Core! According to the description in the Condensing Core Technique, common cultivators could only aim to reach a medium-grade Golden Core in their lifetime. As for cultivators with dual Spiritual Roots, they could potentially achieve a high-grade Golden Core. As for the Nine Revolution Golden Core, only those with a singular Spiritual Root could possibly cultivate it! The Condensing Core Technique recorded the following: "In the 78369th year of the Immortal Era, during the zenith of cultivation, all sects between heaven and earth could learn the technique of condensing the core, to form the supreme Nine Revolution Golden Core. Yet among the countless cultivators in our realm, only twenty or thirty individuals are able to condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core in a year, merely half of what it was during the ancient times of great prosperity." This roughly means that in that year, the entire world had only twenty or thirty people who could condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core in an entire year, a number only achievable in a prosperous era of cultivation. The book''s mention of countless cultivators probably signifies their abundance, but Su Xing does not know the exact number of cultivators. Yet, based on Su Xing''s estimation, perhaps among tens of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of cultivators, only one would be able to condense a Nine Revolution Golden Core. Of course, condensing a Nine Revolution Golden Core isn''t necessarily a good thing, since it takes far too much time! According to the records in the book, the Nine Revolution Golden Core should have nine patterns on it, and on average, each pattern requires ten to several tens of years to form. After practicing the Condensing Core Technique, however, the time needed for condensing the core could be halved... Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even so, for those of mediocre talent, the Nine Revolution Golden Core remains an insurmountable challenge. But Su Xing was not afraid! The one thing he wasn''t lacking was time; if one simulation didn''t work, then he would try a second time, and if twice wasn''t enough, then ten times! With each simulation, as long as Su Xing didn''t die prematurely, he had fifteen years to cultivatesurely enough time to condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core! Most importantly, the description of the Nine Revolution Golden Core in the Condensing Core Technique was simply too tempting. "Those who condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core can fight against Nascent Soul elders of higher tiers as easily as eating and drinking!" Meaning that, once you''ve cultivated the Nine Revolution Golden Core, fighting across higher tiers is as simple as eating and drinking. With such a great temptation, how could Su Xing resist? "First learn the Condensing Core Technique, then in the simulations, condense the high-grade Golden Core. Repeatedly doing so, I should be able to eventually bring the Nine Revolution Golden Core out." Su Xing set a small plan for himself in his heart. "Now I temporarily have enough energy, as long as I can refine a sufficient number of Essence-Nourishing Pills, replenishing close to one million points of energy every week is not a difficult task... Moreover, once the Tarot Society is established, there will be an even greater quantity of white-quality equipment. By then, I could even harvest several million points of energy a week!" Su Xing clenched his fists tightly, feeling a bright future ahead. All he needed to do now was to lay low and develop well. With enough energy, he would have enough cultivation level! Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Blue Talent, Innate Divine Strength! In addition, the whereabouts of the lower half of the Changchun Technique had become clear.After the next simulation, Su Xing might consider becoming an elder under Protector Zong''s command, and by then, he should be able to successfully bring out the lower half of the Changchun Technique. "Everything is going according to plan, now all that''s left is to accumulate energy..." With a deep breath, Su Xing continued to immerse himself in the Spirit Field copy, starting to farm and practice alchemy. The main source of energy for Su Xing was still the Nourishing Face Pill. Although he could prepare other elixirs for earning energy, first, selling Nourishing Face Pills was less likely to draw attention, and second, the preparation of other elixirs required higher-grade medicinal materials that Su Xing was unable to procure at the moment. In the following week, Su Xing first spent two days refining a total of thirteen furnaces of Nourishing Face Pills, increasingly raising his efficiency. With the improvement of Su Xing''s alchemy skills, the probability of producing high-quality Nourishing Face Pills had been increasing. Almost three out of every ten pills were a "high-grade version of the Nourishing Face Pill." "Perhaps, I can put the high-grade version of the Nourishing Face Pills up for auction... One pill can maintain youthfulness for three months, so the price should be over three million!" After refining the Nourishing Face Pills he planned to sell in advance, Su Xing spent each day planting spirit crops, cultivating Spirit Fields, consuming Spirit Rice, and honing his physique. Su Xing was reluctant to use Spirit Stones for cultivation as they were dwindling in number; it was best to save them for use in the simulator. Soon, a week had passed. In this week''s time, Su Xing''s Body Refinement Cultivation Level had made significant progress, reaching the second layer of the Bone Forging Realm. A cultivator at the second layer of the Bone Forging Realm, in terms of combat strength alone, could even be much stronger than a Qi Cultivation Cultivator at the second layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Su Xing''s pure physical strength was nearly approaching a hundred thousand catties, and blasting a Silver Level copy monster with one punch was not a difficult task. As Jin Congxue was busy establishing the Tarot Commerce Association, she did not deliver the rewards personally and instead entrusted a confidant to bring this week''s batch of white equipment. A total of one hundred and eleven thousand pieces of white-quality equipment, after being converted into simulation energy by Su Xing, saw his energy points break through the one million mark for the first time, reaching 1.1 million energy points! In the afternoon of January 7th, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing once again activated the simulator. "Begin simulation!" [This simulation cost 1,800 energy points. Remaining energy points: 1,107,000. Remaining number of simulations: unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, green talent costs 1,000 energy points, and blue talent costs 10,000 energy points. Do you wish to draw?] With abundant energy, Su Xing naturally opted to draw a blue-quality talent; if he happened to draw a usable blue talent, it would be a huge win. "Draw a blue talent!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining a blue talent, Innate Divine Strength!] Innate Divine Strength? This seemed to be a talent related to Body Cultivation! Su Xing''s heart stirred as he hurriedly checked the talent description. [Innate Divine Strength]: A blue talent. Your strength far surpasses that of an ordinary person, and you possess exceptional talent in physical constitution and Body Cultivation! Indeed, it was a talent for Body Cultivation! Elated, Su Xing swiftly contemplated in his heart. "It seems the purpose of this simulation needs to change..." Su Xing had originally planned to infiltrate the Descending Sect and take away the second half of the Changchun Technique manual. But since he had drawn an unexpected talent, Su Xing''s Body Refinement Cultivation Level could surely advance further! Su Xing quickly devised a plan in his heart and began the official simulation. [Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are simulating.] [You discover that your body has become stronger than before; even at the second layer of the Bone Forging Realm, your physical strength is comparable to that of a Body Refinement Cultivator at the fourth or fifth layer.] [You start to attempt cultivation, and as your talent for Body Refinement is excellent, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level starts to rise swiftly. You are able to eat several bowls of Spirit Rice daily and each meal must include a few Spirit Chicken eggs. Every other day, you also need to stew a pot of Spirit Chicken soup to maintain your cultivation.] [You begin to expand the population of Spirit Chickens in the blessed land, breeding more of them to provide you with more Spirit Chicken eggs and meat.] [The second year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level advances to the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm.] [Looking at your body, full of vigorous qi and blood, you have a premonition that perhaps you don''t need to take an Organ Refining Pill and that you might break through to the Organ Refining Realm merely with your Body Refinement talent!] [You continue to cultivate methodically, devoting most of your time to Body Refinement cultivation apart from alchemy and farming.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan finds you, telling you she wants to join a certain mysterious organization.] [After a night of heated discussions, you bluntly express your desire to also join the organization and ask her to introduce you!] [Wang Qingxuan hesitates for a long time but finally agrees to your request.] Su Xing felt elated upon seeing this; joining the Descending Sect five years earlier would allow him earlier access to the precious Spiritual Medicines within the sect and breakthroughs in his realm could come earlier! Thinking over it, Su Xing decided to continue joining under the Shadow Protector as before; after all, based on the last simulation, it was relatively safe under Shadow Protector''s command, as long as he did not venture into the inner treasury of the sect, there wouldn''t be too much trouble. With a decision made in his heart, Su Xing continued the simulation. [Led by Wang Qingxuan, you are also recommended to an Elder within the sect, who is one of Shadow Protector''s subordinates whom you had met before.] [The Elder tells you that once you join the Descending Sect, you must never betray it, and he would assess you for half a year, during which you would only be peripheral members.] Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this, wondering why there had been no such thing as a six-month assessment during the last simulation? But soon, Su Xing realized. "That''s right, during the last simulation, Wang Qingxuan was already a core force within the sect, so her recommendation must have been somewhat credible. But now, both she and I are newcomers; it makes sense that there would be an assessment..." Su Xing nodded slightly and decided not to be hasty but to observe for a while. [In the following six months, you store up strength, persistently train your body every day, and timely complete the tasks given to you by the sect.] [You can sense that you are just one layer away from the Organ Refining Realm, yet you can''t seem to break through.] [After much hesitation, you begin to demonstrate your value; you start to refine Wound Healing Pills and gift a few to other sect members, "accidentally" allowing the matter of the Wound Healing Pills to be exposed to the upper echelons of the sect.] [Three days later, Shadow Protector arrives with a few Elders under him to find you.] [He takes out the Wound Healing Pills you had refined and inquires about their origins.] [You pretend to be indecisive; Shadow Protector tells you that if you reveal the origin of the elixirs, the sect will not treat you unfairly.] [You then reluctantly admit that you had refined the Wound Healing Pills yourself and also indicate that you can refine several other types of elixirs but are temporarily lacking the medicinal materials...] Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Organ Refining Realm! Su Xing nodded slightly at this.Previously, he had simulated an offering of Spirit Rice, resulting in a scenario where an old protector tormented him to death. In that simulation, his position was insignificant, and the Protector Zong seemed to be a fanatical extremist, which led to such an outcome. This Shadow Protector, however, seemed somewhat more reasonable. As long as he was careful and kept his Alchemy skills firmly in his own hands, there would be no problem. Thinking this, Su Xing continued to simulate. [The Shadow Protector was overjoyed with this, ordering his subordinates to bring over a hundred herbs, and letting you refine Wound Healing Pills.] [You spent three days crafting a hundred Wound Healing Pills, secretly holding back fifty pills and ninety herbs, offering up only fifty Wound Healing Pills.] [After hearing of your successful refinement, the Shadow Protector came to learn from it himself, letting his subordinates try your Wound Healing Pills and finding them to have quite good therapeutic effects even on Master Level practitioners.] [The Shadow Protector was very satisfied with your performance, telling you that as long as you worked hard, within three years, you would surely become a new Elder.] [You pretended to be flattered by his favor and showed even greater respect towards the Shadow Protector, who grew more pleased with your attitude and gave you even more Spiritual Medicine for you to supply more Elixirs.] Su Xing looked on with a strange expression on his face. Good grief, a hundred herbs were enough to refine a thousand Wound Healing Pills, but he had only handed over fifty pills, effectively embezzling ninety-five percent of the materials. "Damn, the me in the simulator seems to be quite dark-hearted..." Su Xing touched his chin, his lips curving up slightly. But peculiarly, in the Descending Sect apart from him, no one understood alchemy, so as long as he could deliver Elixirs on schedule, he would not be caught. [Another month passed, and you provided a hundred Wound Healing Pills to the Descending Sect, declaring that you could refine an Elixir known as the Organ Refining Pill, which could enhance the strength of practitioners.] [After hearing this, the Shadow Protector was delighted and immediately had a hundred Huang Xian Essence herbs brought to you, instructing you to supply a hundred Organ Refining Pills to them.] [A hundred Huang Xian Essences were more than enough to refine a thousand Organ Refining Pills. You spent a month crafting a thousand Organ Refining Pills, handing over the inferior ones, then you began to close in on seclusion.] [Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you selected a few Organ Refining Pills with weaker medicinal effects but of excellent quality, intending to break through to the Organ Refining Realm.] [Your Body Refinement Cultivation Level had already reached the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm over a year ago. Over the past year, you felt your physical body become more perfect, stronger than at any other time before, and had a premonition that this time, you would succeed in breaking through to the Organ Refining Realm.] [You spent three days adjusting your physical condition to perfection and on a morning when vitality was most abundant, you took an Organ Refining Pill.] [The main herb in this Organ Refining Pill, the Huang Xian Essence, was less than three years old, and you had more than a seventy percent confidence that this attempt would lead to a breakthrough.] [But once the Organ Refining Pill was ingested, you realized that you had underestimated its effects.] [A warm current flowed into your body, you felt your temperature rising, your skin gradually reddening, your breathing becoming rapid, and a subtle pain began to emanate within you.] [The pain grew more intense, and you felt as if your internal organs were about to be torn aparta sensation of being ripped from the depths of your soul.] [Endless pain heated up within you; large beads of sweat formed on your forehead. This pain would not dissipate quickly but persisted.] [On the first day after taking the Organ Refining Pill, the pain in your internal organs was indescribable, yet you endured with unyielding determination.] [On the second day after taking the Organ Refining Pill, the pain inside you slowly lessened, and you felt your body growing stronger, seemingly three times mightier than before.] [But you sat cross-legged in place, daring not to move, as any movement would bring waves of endless agony to your organs.] [You gritted your teeth and persisted, and so three more days passed.] [By the sixth day, you could move freely. Looking inward at your internal organs, you found each wrapped in a faint golden glow, feeling much more resilient than before, but it seemed you still hadn''t broken through to the Organ Refining Realm.] S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [On the seventh day, you emerged from seclusion. Although you hadn''t broken through to the Organ Refining Realm, you felt your physical fitness, especially the toughness of your internal organs, had greatly improved beyond before.] [You returned to the Descending Sect and spent several days preparing the elixirs needed for the following month in advance; then, you chose to continue your retreat in the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [It took a week to bring your body back to its peak condition. With the experience of the previous attempt, you believed you could assimilate another Organ Refining Pill.] [You swallowed an Organ Refining Pill, which transformed into a warm current nourishing your internal organs.] [The expected pain struck, but perhaps because your physique had strengthened, or maybe your tolerance for pain had grown, the agony seemed to be only half as intense as last time.] [You sat cross-legged, maintaining steady breathing to fight the pain in your internal organs.] [Another week passed, and to your amazement, the glow around your internal organs shone brighter, seeming to reach a threshold. Once you broke through it, you would enter the Organ Refining Realm!] [The side effects from taking the Organ Refining Pill this time were far less severe than before, so after just three days of recuperation, your bodily functions had returned to their peak.] [You took the Organ Refining Pill for the third time, with a premonition that the Organ Refining Realm was within reach.] [The anticipated pain didn''t occur; you only felt an increasing lightness with each breath, a comfort so starkly different from the previous pain that it nearly sent you soaring on the spot.] [You closed your eyes and sat in meditation, focusing intently on the changes within your internal organs.] [Your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and all the organs within you seemed to have their own life, breathing freely and radiating pleasure.] [The golden light around your organs grew stronger until it reached a certain peak, and then returned to simplicity, resuming tranquility.] [But when you opened your eyes again, you felt that everything had changed!] [Your heart was more vigorous, allowing you to fight longer; your lungs were tougher, enabling you to breathe freely underwater; and your liver was so strong that it could even become immune to some toxins...] [You felt an unprecedented vitality in your body, as if your strength had multiplied in an instant!] [You had successfully broken through to the Organ Refining Realm!] Chapter 50: Chapter 50 The True Use of the Organ Refining Pill, Four Benefits from One Fish? Su Xing clenched his fists tightly, feeling an indescribable exhilaration!He had finally broken through to the Organ Refining Realm! In order to successfully break through, he had attempted numerous simulations and even died several times within the simulator. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the enhancement of his talent that finally made him a cultivator of the Organ Refining Realm. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Organ Refining Realm corresponds to the Golden Core Stage of Qi Cultivation Cultivators. Although their spiritual power and methods are not as good as those of Golden Core Stage Cultivators, in terms of combat ability, they are even stronger than Golden Core Cultivators. "Indeed, talent is everything... the improvement brought by a blue talent is much greater than that of a green one!" "Moreover, I could only survive up to fifteen years in each simulation, so the blue talent allowed me to increase my strength faster!" Su Xing took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [After breaking through to the Organ Refining Realm, you have an unprecedented confidence. However, considering that you are still within the nefarious organization known as the Descending Sect, filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, you decided to continue your steady development.] [On normal days, you still help the Descending Sect in refining Organ Refining Pills, Essence-Nourishing Pills, and other elixirs, but you have withheld the majority of the medicinal ingredients for your own cultivation.] [After breaking through to the Organ Refining Realm, you are able to consume an Organ Refining Pill every day to enhance the strength of your viscera.] [In the third year, your cultivation level broke through to the second level of the Organ Refining Realm!] [In the fourth year, your cultivation level broke through to the third level of the Organ Refining Realm.] [In the fifth year, your cultivation level broke through to the fourth level of the Organ Refining Realm! And due to your "diligent and devoted" provision of a large amount of elixirs to the Descending Sect over these years, the Shadow Protector has applied for you to be an elder within the sect.] [You became the eighteenth Elder of the Descending Sect, known as Elder Medicine. You became the favorite of the Shadow Protector, who saw you as the most promising of his subordinates.] As expected, he had become an elder-level figure again. "This Shadow Protector seems not too bad towards me! Whenever I wanted medicinal ingredients, I got them, and whenever I wanted a promotion, I got it. It''s only been a little over three years since I joined the Descending Sect, and now I''ve become an elder." Su Xing stroked his chin and sighed lightly. Perhaps, compared to Protector Zong, Dragon Protector, and the others, Shadow Protector was indeed good to him, but this was also because he saw potential in him. Moreover, all of these people are traitors of the Human Race, ultimately standing on the opposite side of him. The only thing that surprised Su Xing was that his Body Refinement Cultivation Level was skyrocketing like a rocket! An average of one level per year; it hadn''t been long, yet he had already become a great cultivator of the fourth level of the Organ Refining Realm. "Is it because of the enhancement from the blue talent ''Innate Divine Strength''?" Su Xing fell into deep thought and then realized that, in the simulator, he had been consuming an Organ Refining Pill every day. In just over three years, he must have used up more than a thousand Organ Refining Pills, right? "Perhaps, it''s not just because of the talent... these Organ Refining Pills seem to be very useful for the enhancement of a cultivator''s level in the Organ Refining Realm!" "Wait a minute, Organ Refining Pill... Organ Refining Realm! Could it be that these pills are specifically meant to increase the cultivation level of cultivators in the Organ Refining Realm?" Su Xing had an epiphany, then a vein popped on his forehead. Damn it, these pills were indeed meant for enhancing the cultivation level of those in the Organ Refining Realm! No wonder Su Xing kept dying whenever he took an Organ Refining Pill during the Bone Forging Realm... "It''s only thanks to my Innate Divine Strength that my physique is so robust... Otherwise, I may have burst and died!" Su Xing regretted his recklessness, but at the same time, he was grateful for having drawn a blue-quality Body Refinement talent. Without a stronger Body Refinement talent, Su Xing might have simulated dozens of times without necessarily managing to break through to the Organ Refining Realm. "Ah, this is the downside of not having a teacher. That cheap master of mine left me only two Cultivation Techniques and a broken spiritual place, and didn''t teach me anything else!" Su Xing sighed with relief that he had the simulator; if he had to figure out cultivation on his own, he''d probably have died countless times by now. But then again, isn''t that exactly what the simulator is forto explore repeatedly and avoid pitfalls? "Once I get the second half of the Changchun Technique and my strength increases a bit more, I should try checking out some of those cultivation instances." Su Xing had coordinates to several cultivation instances in his hands, but he lacked the strength at the moment and planned to try them out when he felt stronger. Su Xing continued to simulate. [The Shadow Protector personally held an Elder appointment ceremony for you. Several Elders from the Nature Faction came in person to congratulate you and gave you quite a few greeting gifts.] [Even the other two sects each sent an Elder and offered their congratulations.] [After the Elder appointment ceremony, Elders from both the Frenzied Faction and the Coexistence Faction approached you with a request, hoping that you would supply them with certain elixirs.] [You didn''t agree rashly, because in the eyes of others, you are the confidant of the Shadow Protector. So, you asked the Shadow Protector about this matter.] [The Shadow Protector was pleased to hear of your inquiry and told you that although the three factions have slightly different philosophies, they all worship the great Heavenly Father and the main race, so they should help the other sects if they can.] [The Shadow Protector called over the Elders from the other two factions and told them that they could have the elixirs, but they must pay the appropriate remuneration.] [The two Elders seemed to be quite afraid of the Shadow Protector and readily agreed to the terms.] [So, in the following month, the amount of elixirs you crafted tripled. You were to hand over three hundred Organ Refining Pills and three hundred Wound Healing Pills each month. Of course, the amount of spiritual medicine you received also tripled. Additionally, you earned three thousand contribution points each month, as well as other rewards for alchemy provided by the two other factions.] Su Xing couldn''t help but laugh with delight at this. The number of elixirs I craft has tripled, and the medicinal materials have also tripled. By this calculation, he would be able to pocket nearly three hundred Golden Immortal Essence and other Spiritual Medicines each month. Plus, the contribution points had tripled, on top of the additional alchemy rewards... Describing it as killing two birds with one stone would be an understatementit''s like killing four birds with one stone! With this, he could continue to craft even more Organ Refining Pills and Wound Healing Pills for his own use. But even he could only consume a maximum of thirty Organ Refining Pills in a month; the surplus seemed somewhat useless. "Why worry about it so much? I''m using the Descending Sect''s materials anywayif they''re wasted, it''s not like I''ll feel the pinch!" Su Xing chuckled and continued to simulate. [In the sixth year, your cultivation level broke through to the fifth level of the Organ Refining Realm. As your cultivation level grew, you found it increasingly difficult to make progress, so you began to swallow two Organ Refining Pills daily for cultivation.] [In the seventh year, you took three Organ Refining Pills daily to cultivate, and your cultivation level broke through to the sixth level of the Organ Refining Realm.] [In the eighth year, you swallowed four Organ Refining Pills every day for cultivation, and your cultivation level broke through to the seventh layer of the Organ Refining Realm.] [In the ninth year, you felt that you might have ingested too many elixirs over the years. Toxins from these elixirs had accumulated in your body, forming elixir poisoning. You had to slow down your Body Refinement pace and began to focus on enhancing your Qi Refining Cultivation.] Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Choice of Rewards Su Xing felt somewhat helpless at this.Cultivating immortality to raise one''s realm was never easy. Often, breaking through a minor realm would take years, not to mention a major realm. Even though Su Xing''s talent could now be considered extraordinary, maintaining one minor realm breakthrough per year was very difficult, and only with the aid of elixirs could he achieve a breakthrough. After all, each simulation only gave him fifteen years of cultivation time, making every year of cultivation extremely precious. It was for this reason that after Su Xing consumed a large amount of elixirs to improve his cultivation level, it was inevitable that elixir poisoning would form within his body. [In the tenth year, your Qi Refining Cultivation has advanced to the third level of the Golden Core Realm. This past year, you have used Spiritual Energy daily to remove the elixir poison from your body, significantly reducing the elixir poison within.] [In the eleventh year, you have maintained a daily intake of an Organ Refining Pill to enhance your Body Refinement Cultivation Level, but due to the excessive amount of elixir poison in your body, your cultivation level has not broken through.] [In the twelfth year, through your relentless effort, your cultivation level has advanced to the eighth level of the Organ Refining Realm.] [In the fourteenth year, your cultivation level has broken through to the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm!] [One day, Shadow Protector approached you, and it had been several years since you last saw Shadow Protector. You felt his aura was much more formidable than before, but his emotions became more unstable, and occasionally, a bloodthirsty crimson gleam flashed in his eyes.] [He told you that the real world is on the brink of doom, and you are the elder he holds in the highest regard. He produced a corpse of a Demonic Beast, which appeared to be a high-level beast.] [His emotions somewhat out of control, he informed you that everything was a deception. The members of the Coexistence Faction had been largely wiped out, the Zealot Faction had launched attacks on the other two factions, and the main race was to descend within a month. Now, the only way for you to survive was to become a part of the dominant race.] Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Shadow Protector was willing to personally transform you. He said he would take you to the world of the dominant race and start a new life.] [Faced with Shadow Protector''s request, you hesitated but ultimately refused him, indicating that you did not wish to become a half-human, half-beast monster.] [After hearing your refusal, Shadow Protector fell silent for a long time and did not say much. It seemed he had anticipated your response. He expressed respect for your destiny and acknowledged your contributions over the years, stating he could try to grant you one request.] [For you, the purpose of this simulation had already been fulfilled, and you could not think of any request to make on the spot. But then an idea struck you; you expressed your desire for the Complete Edition of Changchun Technique, a Cultivation Technique from Protector Zong.] [Shadow Protector was taken aback for a moment but shook his head, revealing that Protector Zong had perished in a battle a few days ago, and nobody knew the whereabouts of his belongings. Thus, he could not fulfill your request.] [Unable to obtain the Changchun Technique, you made a casual request. Having known Shadow Protector for over a decade, you were still unaware of his true appearance under that mask. So, you asked to see Shadow Protector''s true face.] [After hearing your request, Shadow Protector was stunned. After hesitating for a while, he finally took off his mask.] [When Shadow Protector''s mask was removed, you were taken aback; beneath the mask was an astonishingly beautiful woman, with graceful hair and skin as pale as snow, resembling a woman who had stepped out of a painting.] [Shadow Protector no longer disguised her voice. She told you to take care of yourself and indicated that if you changed your mind, you were welcome to find her anytime.] [Shadow Protector eventually left, and you were unsure where she might go. Perhaps she too had a story once that led her to betray the Human Race and join the Descending Sect.] [New Era 2037, September 23rd. This day was supposed to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, yet the entire Human Race was engulfed in tremendous panic.] [A behemoth, large enough to blot out the sun and sky, appeared. It devoured the entire Great Xia Country in one bite.] [You died, aged 37!] [Your talent, Unwilling to Close Eyes in Death, activated] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing came back to his senses. Overall, the information contained in this simulation is overwhelming, and the rewards received are indeed too substantial. "Shadow Protector, to think it''s a woman..." Su Xing was somewhat surprised, clearly not having expected this twist. Based on the results of this simulation, it seems the entire Human Race has been wiped out, and the endings of the three factions within the Descending Sect also appear to differ. The followers of the Coexistence Faction were almost completely annihilated by the Zealot Faction, and the fate of the remaining Zealot followers is unknown. Only the Natural Faction seemed to have escaped this catastrophe, transforming themselves into the Foreign Race, apparently able to seek refuge in the world where the Foreign Race resides. Su Xing shook his head; the outcomes of these three factions were not what he wanted. To become a Foreign Race, would one still be truly oneself in the end? So clearly, joining the Descending Sect would not end well in any case. The most crucial point that puzzled Su Xing was why his age in this simulation turned out to be thirty-seven years old. "In this simulation, the apocalypse came just fourteen years later. Is it because today is January 7, 2024? It shouldn''t be, otherwise I should still be thirty-eight years old..." "Perhaps, it''s because I joined the Descending Sect and did quite a bit for them that the time of the Foreign Race''s successful invasion of the real world was advanced by a few months..." After joining the Great Xia Military, Su Xing had previously delayed the arrival of the Foreign Race by a month. "By that logic...joining the Descending Sect means I might only have fourteen years left to cultivate..." Su Xing sighed softly; there was no helping it. After all, the simulator provided so much through the Descending Sect... Elixirs abundant enough to surfeit Su Xing, fully capable of accelerating his Cultivation Level advancement by several folds. "Before finding a better cultivation path, if I want to increase my cultivation, I still need to fleece the Descending Sect!" Su Xing turned his attention to the rewards from this simulation. [Innate Divine Strength]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points. [Organ Refining Realm, Ninth Layer]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, with all internal pill toxin side effects removed, priced at 1 million energy points. [Fourteen Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 140,000 energy points. [Golden Core Stage, Fourth Layer]: Qi Refining Cultivation of the fourth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and due to your constant consumption of Essence-Nourishing Pills, the Spirit Pill in your Dantian has become more solid, nearing the quality of a top-grade Spirit Pill. Priced at 300,000 energy. [Organ Refining Pill, 1000 Pills]: Priced at 10 million energy points. The blue talent, Innate Divine Strength, is a must-choose reward for Su Xing, as it is the advanced version of the great strength he already possesses and can greatly enhance his Body Cultivation talent. And for the remaining choices, Su Xing currently can only afford the Body Refinement Cultivation Level, Alchemy insights, and Qi Refining Cultivation Level. Without much hesitation, Su Xing quickly made his choice. "I choose the blue talent Innate Divine Strength and the Organ Refining Realm, Ninth Layer cultivation level!" Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Ninth Level of the Organ Refining Realm, Strength Skyrockets! Before Su Xing''s Body Refinement Cultivation Level was at the second level of the Bone Forging Realm.However, in this simulation, his cultivation level directly reached the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm, his Body Refinement Cultivation Level skyrocketing! Moreover, this Body Refinement Cultivation Level was the kind purified of pill poison, so Su Xing naturally had no reason not to choose it. Of course, the energy points needed for the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm were enormous, a total of 1 million energy points. Including the 100,000 energy points required for his talent, Su Xing currently did not even have enough energy points. Left with no choice, Su Xing could only sell some of the equipment he had accumulated in advance to barely gather the required 1.1 million energy points. [Ding, you have chosen to bring out the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm Cultivation Level, spending 1m energy points, remaining energy 100,103 points.] [Ding, you have chosen to bring out the blue talent Innate Divine Strength, spending 100k energy points, remaining energy 103 points.] Su Xing, looking at the mere 103 points of energy left, wanted to cry without tears, his energy accumulated over more than two weeks vanished in a single night. But it was all worth it! As the sounds of the simulator''s notification rang in Su Xing''s ears, his body underwent massive changes. Su Xing only felt his inner strength surge dramatically in a short time, his whole body''s aura climbing fiercely. Bone Forging Realm third level... Bone Forging Realm fifth level... Bone Forging Realm Great Perfection! In just tens of seconds, Su Xing''s cultivation level climbed from the second level of the Bone Forging Realm to Great Perfection! And Su Xing''s bodily strength also multiplied, his arms now possessing the strength of over two hundred thousand pounds! But it wasn''t over yet. As Su Xing''s physical strength continued to accumulate, reaching a certain threshold, he felt as if a shackle within had been successfully broken through. Organ Refining Realm! Su Xing quickly inspected internally and found a faint layer of gold light covering his five viscera and six bowels. The gold light retracted continuously until it eventually merged into them, disappearing... The first level of the Organ Refining Realm was far from Su Xing''s ultimate limit in this simulation! In the next few minutes, Su Xing''s physical strength rose intermittently. Organ Refining Realm second level... Organ Refining Realm third level... Organ Refining Realm fifth level... Organ Refining Realm eighth level! Finally, after breaking through to the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm, Su Xing felt the speed of his cultivation level''s rise slowly down before finally stabilizing at the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm! "Is this, the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm?" For a moment, Su Xing felt as if in a dream. He acquired Great Perfection in Body Cultivation Level from the second simulation, and up to now, in his eighteenth simulation, he had never been able to bring out Body Refinement Cultivation Level from the simulations. Moreover, in several simulations, Su Xing had died due to his body exploding while attempting to break through to the Organ Refining Realm. But it was all worth it; with accumulated effort leading to sudden success, Su Xing had become a cultivator at the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm. If he could break through again, that would be the fourth realm of Body Refinement Cultivator, the Origin Martial Realm! Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land, sat cross-legged, and continuously explored his own body with his mind. He could feel the formidable strength within his body. "Although this Body Refinement Cultivation Level came without side effects, my mastery over this body''s strength is still too little... I should familiarize myself with it more." In the following week, Su Xing did not engage in Alchemy, but began to familiarize himself with his body''s strength. Breaking through from the second level of the Bone Forging Realm to the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm in a single day was like a beggar suddenly winning a 5 million dollar lottery; naturally, he needed to thoroughly familiarize himself to be worthy of this gift. After several days of familiarization in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing gradually mastered the strength of his body. "I just don''t know how strong I am now... When I was at Great Perfection in the Bone Forging Realm, I had the strength of 200,000 catties. Could it be that my strength has broken through a million catties?" When a person suddenly obtains immense strength, without experimenting, one simply wouldn''t know how strong they actually are. "Perhaps, I could find a place to test just how strong I am..." To be safe, Su Xing swallowed a Disguise Pill he had refined for a long time, completely changed his appearance, and stealthily sneaked into the Kyoto Academy''s training facility when it was unoccupied. Inside the vast training facility, there were dozens of specially made strength training machines. These strength training machines are used by close-combat professionals. After professionals break through in their level, they often gain several attribute points. Magic professionals usually have stronger mental power and need to constantly use their skills to fully master their strength. Close-combat professionals, especially those who are strength or speed type, also need continuous training after increasing their attribute points to fully master their own strength. Kyoto Academy has such facilities to help professionals quickly master their strength and speed. It was deep into the night at this time, and there were only a few people training in the entire facility. And this was precisely Su Xing''s goal, to change his appearance and train in a less crowded setting, thus avoiding drawing too much attention. Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing approached a strength training machine marked for Gold-level professionals. Theoretically, this machine could withstand the full-force attack of a strength-type Gold-level professional. As an Organ Refining Realm Cultivator, Su Xing was in the third realm of Body Cultivation, which theoretically meant his strength was equivalent to that of a level 30 strength-type Gold professional. Su Xing strode up to a strength training machine in the corner, took a deep breath, and threw a punch. Bang! With a loud explosion, the special machine, three meters in length, width, and height, was directly smashed to bits. Seeing this, Su Xing was stunned for a moment and frowned, saying, "These Gold-level strength training machines... seem a bit too fragile, don''t they?" Su Xing''s punch that blasted the training machine created a huge commotion, instantly catching the attention of the few people in the facility. "Wow, to blast a Gold-level strength training machine with one punch, if I''m not mistaken, the Gold-level machines are supposed to withstand up to a 100-ton force, right?" "This senior seems a bit unfamiliar! Did he just break through to Master Level and come to the training facility to show off?" "To have such strength just after breaking through to Master Level? Even some of the seasoned strength-type Master professionals probably can''t reach a 100-ton force with a single punch, can they?" "Hiss... a peak Master-level professional? Could this senior be one of the strongest in their fourth year? But we clearly haven''t seen him before." On the other side of the training facility, several professionals watched Su Xing from a distance with admiration, whispering among themselves. Su Xing frowned slightly; he didn''t want to be noticed by the other students, but he hadn''t yet achieved his goal of testing his strength. So Su Xing quickly walked to a strength training machine marked for Master-level professionals. Gathering his power, he threw a punch! Bang! With a punch thrown by Su Xing, the whole training machine trembled lightly. Su Xing glanced at the number on the machine, his face showing a look of astonishment. Then Su Xing launched several more punches to confirm the numbers weren''t mistaken before quickly leaving the training facility. Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Mysteries of the Organ Refining Realm, The Five Organs of the Human Body ```After Su Xing left the training facility, a few students on the other side quickly gathered around to see the numbers on the training machine. "One... ten... hundred... thousand... ten thousand! Holy shit, did that tough guy just hit 150,000 kilograms with a punch?" "Can it be that high? One hundred fifty thousand kilograms is a number that most Grandmaster Level strength-type professionals can only dream of achieving!" "Could it be that the tough guy just now used a strength amplification skill? That''s how he reached such power?" "Are you stupid? The tough guy just now threw four consecutive punches with numbers 151,376 kg, 149,789 kg, 155,678 kg, and 157,689 kg. This kind of consistency usually isn''t from using a skill; it must be someone who has just broken through and came to the facility to test their own strength!" "Right, besides, who uses a skill on a training machine? Isn''t that redundant?" "So, does this mean we have another strongman in our senior year? A punching force of 150,000 kilograms, close to 150 tons! That''s a level that only Grandmaster professionals should be able to reach, right?" These students discussed animatedly, nodding frequently, envy flashing in their eyes. "I''m so jealous! That senior just now probably ranks in the top ten in strength across all seniors, right? But such a tough person... why have I never seen him before?" "Quick, post the video to the school forum, this will definitely stir up a storm!" By this time, Su Xing had already left the training facility far behind and was unaware of these students'' thoughts. Just to be cautious, Su Xing first took several detours around the school to make sure no one was following him before returning to the men''s dormitory. Then, in a deserted corner, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land. Not until the next morning did Su Xing emerge from the Blessed Land and go back to the dormitory. "With that, no one should be able to discover my identity" By then, the effect of the Disguise Pill had worn off, and Su Xing lay in the dormitory drinking a sip of Coke, his thoughts constantly turning. "When I was at the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm, my strength had already reached over two hundred thousand jin... But why is it that at the ninth layer of the Organ Refining Realm, my strength is only just over 300,000 jin?" Su Xing felt confused. The transition from the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm to the ninth layer of the Organ Refining Realm should be a transformation in strength, yet the boost to Su Xing''s power was minimal. "Perhaps, the true strength of the Organ Refining Realm lies elsewhere?" Lost in thought, Su Xing then entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land to practice his martial arts. With every punch and kick, Su Xing exerted his full power. The sounds of sonic booms, resulting from punches breaking the sound barrier, echoed through the air. If not for the stable space of the Spirit Field Blessed Land and the air filled with abundant Spiritual Energy, Su Xing''s martial practice would likely have caused a disturbance between heaven and earth. Su Xing practiced from evening until dawn and finally stopped, feeling exhausted. He sat down to drink a sip of water from the Spiritual Spring and began to regulate his breath and recuperate. Sitting cross-legged in the Blessed Land, the surrounding Spiritual Energy continuously nourished Su Xing''s body, rapidly restoring his physical strength. "So that''s it, the marvel of Organ Refining Realm isn''t in physical power, but in the internal improvement of a Body Refinement Cultivator!" "The first realm for a Body Refinement Cultivator is the Body Refinement Realm, also known as Meridian Channeling Realm. This realm lays the foundation for the path of body cultivation, primarily nourishing the body while also providing a significant boost to combat power and strength." "The second realm of body cultivation is the Bone Forging Realm. This realm mainly enhances the strength of the human skeletal structure and physical body. Once the strength improves, so does the power! That''s why my previous strength soared to three hundred thousand jin; it must be the stage that provides the most significant increase in combat power early on!" "The third realm of body cultivation is the Organ Refining Realm! What is the Organ Refining Realm? It''s about strengthening the five viscera and six bowels, somewhat like the inner strength techniques described in martial arts novels, amplifying Inner Strength!" ``` Su Xing continued along this line of thought. "Strengthening the heart can improve my endurance in continuous combat. I used to be exhausted after fighting for an hour, but now I can sustain the fight for three or four hours before gradually becoming fatigued..." "Strengthening the kidneys, which are associated with water, can store essence and absorb energy, and for a Body Refinement Cultivator, the essence, energy, and spirit are very important for the maintenance and balance of the body''s functions," "Strengthening the liver, the organ for detoxification, after reaching the Organ Refining Realm, means that common poisons will not affect me, and even poisonous snakes and centipedes cannot harm me; only those poisons that affect Cultivators can have an effect on me." "Strengthening the lungs allows the breath in my body to flow unceasingly and even grants the ability to breathe or exchange air underwater." "Strengthening the spleen, the human organ for blood production, is critical for a Body Refinement Cultivator who seeks abundant energy and blood. Only with a strong spleen will my energy and blood be in Great Perfection, enabling me to steadily improve my strength!" Su Xing took a deep breath and muttered: "It seems that the Organ Refining Realm is more like a transitional stage that bridges earlier stages and focuses on internal consolidation... Maybe after reaching the fourth-stage Origin Martial Realm, one may experience a significant transformation in strength!" A gleam of insight flashed in Su Xing''s eyes as he gained a preliminary understanding of the Organ Refining Realm. After recovering his strength, Su Xing took a bath to wash off the sweat and felt refreshed and invigorated. As soon as he returned to the real world, Su Xing found that Jin Congxue had tried to contact him. "My dear boss, are you there? I have been busy to death lately... Your commerce association is almost established, don''t you want to come and hear about the future planning of the commerce association? Oh, and I also prepared this week''s equipment for you..." "You''re not replying? Wow, enjoying being a hands-off boss, huh? I''ve been working my butt off to establish this commerce association for you, and you don''t even come to see its members?" Jin Congxue sent several messages in a row, but unfortunately, Su Xing had no signal in the Spirit Field Blessed Land so he could not receive them. Therefore, Su Xing hurriedly replied: "I''m sorry, my dear lady, where are you now? I''ll come find you right away! (regret.jpg)" Jin Congxue replied immediately: "I''m at the villa that used to belong to the Jin Merchant Guild. I used Tarot Society''s money to buy it as our temporary base." "Wait for me fifteen minutes; I''ll be right there!" Su Xing replied quickly and then ran to the school gate to take a taxi to the villa area where he had met Jin Congxue before. Today, Jin Congxue was wearing a light yellow floral dress, her waterfall-like black hair cascading freely, possibly a result of consuming Nourishing Face Pills. She looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen, with smooth skin and youthful vigor. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the villa, aside from Jin Congxue, there were a dozen professionals. Most of them were white-haired elders, and there were also a few young women who seemed to be Jin Congxue''s close friends and secretaries. Seeing Su Xing, Jin Congxue''s eyes lit up, and she quickly introduced him: "Su Xing, you''re finally here... Let me introduce you. These are the elders of our Tarot Commerce Association, the appraisal masters Mr. Wang, Mr. Rui, and Mr. Liu..." Chapter 54: Chapter 54 The First Gathering of the Tarot Society, Level 10 Beast Speech Talent Jin Congxue said with a smile,"These masters are all retired from the Jin Merchant Guild, and they are industry leaders in appraising equipment and managing transactions. They are also the cornerstone of our Tarot Society''s future..." The white-haired appraisal masters waved their hands modestly after hearing this, "President, what are you talking about? For us old bones to serve you is already your grace..." Su Xing, of course, knew that these appraisal masters were just being modest. After all, the older you get in the appraisal and transaction management business, the more sought-after you become. These masters have immersed themselves in this industry for dozens of years, and it must have taken quite an effort for Jin Congxue to invite them over. With these experienced elders on board, Su Xing could rest easy playing the role of a hands-off shopkeeper. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Jin Congxue then pointed to Su Xing and introduced him, "This is Master Su, also one of the elders of our Tarot Society. You will all get to know each other better in time..." After hearing this, Su Xing nodded slightly. He had previously told Jin Congxue not to reveal his identity as the president of the Tarot Society, for the sake of his own safety. On the surface, Su Xing was only an elder of the Tarot Society, with only Jin Congxue aware of Su Xing''s true identity. This suited Su Xing just fine, for the Tarot Society was, after all, merely a tool for him to earn energy. It was best if he could avoid detection as long as he received a regular supply of energy every week. At the first elder council meeting of the Tarot Society, these masters, deeply rooted in the industry, all offered their own insights. Su Xing naturally didn''t mind. After the meeting ended, Jin Congxue called Su Xing out separately. "Here, this is the money earned from selling elixirs last week. It''s all been exchanged for equipment through the Tarot Societya total of 120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment." As she spoke, Jin Congxue handed over a storage ring. Su Xing''s eyes lit up as he took the storage ring and asked, "How come there are 10,000 more pieces of equipment than we usually acquire?" Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and explained, "After all, it''s our own guild. We''ve now organized a team of professionals in the Jiangnan Academy area to farm dungeons for gold. Every week they can harvest thousands of white-quality pieces of equipment and hundreds of green-quality and above..." "Of course, since the guild has just been established, we''ve recruited less than a hundred people. In a couple of months, this number will increase tenfold." "In addition, the guild''s business also includes the trade of potions, skill scrolls, and experience stones..." "Currently, the main source of equipment still comes from cooperative transactions with the Jin Merchant Guild, but after a year and a half, our own guild will also be able to supply a large amount of equipment." Su Xing nodded repeatedly; although he didn''t understand much about commerce, as long as he trusted Jin Congxue and received enough energy every week, that was all that mattered. At this time, it wouldn''t be wise for an outsider like Su Xing to offer advice to the experts. Su Xing took out the Nourishing Face Pill he had prepared in advance from the storage ring and handed it to Jin Congxue. "Here are three hundred Nourishing Face Pills. I refined some extra this week, including one hundred top-quality ones that can maintain one''s youthful appearance for three months." Jin Congxue accepted the Nourishing Face Pills, her mind flashing with astonishment as she muttered, "My goodness, you are like a human money printer! Three hundred Nourishing Face Pills in a week... The market price of these pills probably exceeds 500 million!" Jin Congxue took out a top-quality Nourishing Face Pill and after observing it for a while, she said, "I think we can take out some of the top-quality Nourishing Face Pills as rewards within the guild! A big reason why those masters are willing to join our Tarot Society is that they want the Nourishing Face Pills..." After hearing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and said, "You can make your own decisions about these matters. I trust you!" The cost of the Nourishing Face Pill was not high; using it as an internal reward just meant that Su Xing would spend a few extra hours concocting it. Jin Congxue''s beautiful eyes fixed on Su Xing, and she pouted slightly as she said, "Do you trust me that much? Aren''t you afraid I''ll run off with all your wealth?" After hearing this, Su Xing chuckled and replied, "It''s fine if the wealth is taken, but you should be careful not to be taken by me!" Jin Congxue''s pretty face blushed, and she lowered her head, saying nothing. After watching a movie at the cinema with Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to his dormitory alone in the afternoon. Entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land with practiced ease, Su Xing exchanged the newly obtained 120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment for points. The 120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment provided Su Xing with nearly seven hundred thousand simulation energy points, replenishing his rather limited stock. On the afternoon of January 14, 2024 of the New Era, Su Xing promptly started a new round of simulation. "Begin simulation!" [This simulation will consume 1,900 energy points. Remaining energy points: 703,000. Remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.] [Simulation starting!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, and a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points. Would you like to draw?] "Draw a blue-quality talent!" Without hesitation, Su Xing chose to draw a blue-quality talent. After tasting the sweetness of a blue talent, green talents seemed mediocre to him. [Ding, congratulations! You have obtained a blue talent, Level 10 Beast Speech.] [Level 10 Beast Speech]: A blue talent, allowing you to understand the language of all spiritual beasts and animals. "Huh, this talent seems quite interesting!" Su Xing stroked his chin and pondered. Although the Beast Speech talent seemingly wouldn''t boost his strength, it might actually have unexpected effects in certain situations. The best way to test this was naturally through simulation. Su Xing immersed his mind into the simulator. [Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you''re in a simulation.] [Just as you''re preparing to practice alchemy, you suddenly hear several unfamiliar voices.] [Aside from you, there is no one else in the Spirit Field Blessed Land. You''re puzzled and begin to search for the source of the voices.] [At last, you discover that the voices are coming from your own Spirit Chickens. These Spirit Chickens, after being raised by you for several months, drinking from the Spiritual Spring and eating Spirit Rice, have developed a basic spiritual awareness.] [Through communication with the Spirit Chickens, you discover one of them is self-proclaimed as Chicken Bro and has subtly become the leader among dozens of Spirit Chickens.] [You try communicating with the Spirit Chickens, telling them that if they lay eggs daily and hatch chicks rapidly, you will provide them with more Spirit Rice.] [The Spirit Chickens are astonished that you can understand their language, but they recognize you as the absolute master of this place, so they follow your commands obediently.] [After encouraging the Spirit Chickens, you resume your routine of alchemy, occasionally visiting the Tarot Society and maintaining a good relationship with Wang Qingxuan.] [Half a year later, Wang Qingxuan suddenly approaches you, telling you that she wants to join a mysterious organization.] [In this simulation, determined to obtain the second half of the Changchun Technique, you don''t hesitate to tell Wang Qingxuan that you also want to join the mysterious organization.] [Although Wang Qingxuan initially wants to stop you, she agrees to let you join the Descending Sect after your firm request.] Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Complete Changchun Technique Obtained! Su Xing nodded slightly, his Body Refinement Cultivation Level had already reached the ninth layer of Organ Refining Realm, and the breakthrough to the Origin Martial Realm would surely not be easy.Therefore, for long-term considerations, Su Xing still had to focus his attention on the Changchun Technique. Even if Protector Zong was as fierce as a jackal or a tiger, Su Xing would inevitably rise to the challenge and obtain the latter part of the Changchun Technique. [You and Wang Qingxuan have joined the Descending Sect, and acquired the status of ordinary sect members.] [The second year, for the past half-year you have kept a low profile, diligently completing your tasks, appearing to be a conscientious member of the sect.] [One day, when you feel the time is right, you surreptitiously display your alchemy skills.] [Your displayed alchemy skills quickly catch the attention of the Shadow Protector, who summons you. After examining your alchemy skills, he wants to take you into his confidence.] [You know the Shadow Protector does not have the Changchun Technique, so you intentionally keep your distance from him, maintaining an ambiguous attitude.] [The elders of the other two factions within the Descending Sect soon notice this, and they seem to guess that you do not wish to join the Nature Faction. Thus, they send elders from their two factions to make contact with you.] [You feign indecision, but in fact, you have already found out which elder belongs to the Zealous Faction. You deliberately hesitate for half a month and ultimately accept the olive branch extended by the Zealous Faction.] [Upon learning of your joining the Zealous Faction, the Shadow Protector''s mood sours, and his attitude towards you becomes much colder.] Su Xing sees this and sighs softly, muttering, "Alas, little Ying, although you treat me well this time around, in the simulation, I have important business! After I achieve my goal, I''ll choose to join your Nature Faction next time!" [You have joined the Zealous Faction and, as you wished, met with Protector Zong.] [Protector Zong is a fierce-looking old man, with a somewhat sharp and acerbic demeanor, and a rather gloomy look in his eyes.] [His attitude towards you is neither warm nor cold, but whenever his eyes settle on you, you always feel a chill to the bone.] [Protector Zong promises that as long as you complete the tasks he lays out, he will give you the position of an elder within a year.] [You agree to Protector Zong''s promise, as your main purpose is still to obtain the Changchun Technique, but you know that you must first gain Protector Zong''s trust.] [You begin trying to refine elixirs, but since the Spiritual Medicine is almost entirely managed by the Nature Faction, and you did not join them, the quantity of Spiritual Medicine you can obtain each month is limited. Furthermore, since the Shadow Protector has a poor impression of you, you can only obtain fifty strands of Yellow Immortal Essence each month.] [Protector Zong''s task for you is to refine two hundred Organ Refining Pills for him each month, you grit your teeth and agree to begin the refining process.] Su Xing sees this and black lines form on his forehead. Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In previous simulations, he used to get a hundred strands of Yellow Immortal Essence a month, and he only had to refine a hundred Organ Refining Pills. Now, the amount of work has doubled, and the amount of Yellow Immortal Essence he can embezzle has been halved. "Damn it, after getting the Changchun Technique, I''m definitely going back into the arms of the Shadow Protector!" Su Xing sighs, indeed Protector Zong is no benevolent person! [The third year, during this year, you provide over two thousand Organ Refining Pills for Protector Zong. He uses this large batch of pills to greatly enhance the strength of his subordinates. Protector Zong''s status in the Descending Sect becomes increasingly higher, and the power of the Zealous Faction grows stronger.] [Protector Zong fulfilled his promise; he promoted you to the rank of elder, and your code name is "Elder of Elixirs."] [You tried multiple times to gain Protector Zong''s trust, but for some reason, the Chief Protector always treated you indifferently, seemingly not considering you a confidant.] [In the fourth year, you still provided the Descending Sect with two hundred Organ Refining Pills every month. However, Protector Zong did not offer you any additional benefits, which you found suspicious, and thus you prepared to confront him.] Su Xing showed a puzzled expression when he read this. "Logically speaking, since I can refine elixirs, Protector Zong certainly should have trained me to be a confidant, but apparently, he does not think the same?" "Where is there such reasoning, to make the horse work daily yet not let it graze?" Su Xing felt uncertain and continued to simulate further. [One day, you couldn''t bear it any longer and went straight to Protector Zong, stating that you had long heard of his profound research in the path of cultivation, so you wanted to borrow some ancient cultivation books from him.] [You believed that after doing so much for Protector Zong over the past two years, borrowing a couple of cultivation techniques should not be difficult.] [After hearing your words, Protector Zong revealed a strange smile and pulled out the Changchun Technique from his bosom. He said, "You joined the Descending Sect for this Changchun Technique, didn''t you?"] [Shockwaves surged in your heart C how could Protector Zong know your thoughts? But on the surface, you still pretended to be calm, insisting that you merely agreed with the Descending Sect''s ideals and that your desire for ancient cultivation books was merely out of interest.] [Upon hearing this, Protector Zong chuckled, looking at you with a meaningful gaze, then handed over the Changchun Technique to you. He told you to work hard and that one day you would become a protector like him.] [You were not interested in becoming a so-called protector, but the Changchun Technique that you had longed for day and night was finally in your hands, giving you a surreal feeling.] [For a moment, you even suspected that Sect Elder Zong had given you a fake technique.] [But after repeated verification, you finally confirmed that this was indeed the authentic Changchun Technique, and it was the complete version, including all the cultivation methods for Qi Refinement Realm, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Divinity Transformation Stage, and Return to Void Realm!] "Is this... success!?" Seeing this, Su Xing was so excited that his face flushed. He had learned of the whereabouts of the latter half of the Changchun Technique from his simulations which began over a dozen tries ago, gradually understanding that the technique was in the hands of Protector Zong. Su Xing knew that Protector Zong was no simple character; he had even been prepared to spend a large number of simulations to grind against Protector Zong, even if it took simulating ten or eight times to bring back the Changchun Technique. Yet unexpectedly, he succeeded so smoothly, obtaining the Changchun Technique on his first try. "Regardless, now that I have the Changchun Technique in hand, even if I were to perish soon in the simulation, I would still be able to bring the Changchun Technique out with me!" Su Xing took a deep breath, steadying his emotions overwhelmed by the sudden joy, and chose to continue simulating. [With the complete Changchun Technique in your possession, you could not put it down, repeatedly scrutinizing it.] [You discovered that in the latter half of the Changchun Technique, apart from the basic cultivation incantations, there were also some cultivation insights passed down through generations of the Changchun Sect.] [Although your cultivation technique was sufficient to reach the Return to Void Realm, you were currently only a Golden Core Stage cultivator, still troubled over condensing a superior Golden Core.] [In the fifth year, you diligently cultivated, took Essence-Nourishing Pills daily, and strove to enhance your Qi Refining Cultivation. Your cultivation level broke through to the third level of the Golden Core Stage, and your Golden Core became increasingly perfect.] Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Torture and Torment Su Xing gave a slight nod upon seeing this.Although he already had a cultivation technique, he still needed a great deal of time to cultivate before he could improve his cultivation level, so now was not the time to be complacent. "First, I need to find a way to condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core, then make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, that''s what I should focus on next" Su Xing continued to simulate. [In the sixth year, you still strive to improve your cultivation level and spend a week each month making elixirs, further refining your cultivation.] [In the seventh year, your cultivation level advanced to the fourth layer of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the eighth year, you cultivated diligently, but your cultivation level remained at the fourth layer of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the ninth year, your cultivation level advanced to the fifth layer of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the tenth year, the Sect suddenly increased their demand for the Organ Refining Pill, which was good news for you because it meant you could hoard more Huang Xian Essence.] [In the eleventh year, your cultivation level remained at the fifth layer of the Golden Core Stage, but the quality of your Golden Core was ever increasing, nearing the superior grade.] [Over the years, you noticed that Protector Zong''s gaze towards you became increasingly strange, seeming to harbor some deep yearning that made you feel uncomfortable.] [Since you had already obtained the Changchun Technique you wanted, Protector Zong no longer held any value to you, and you began to gradually distance yourself.] [Protector Zong didn''t say much about this, but after all, he was your immediate superior, and you still met once or twice each month.] [In the twelfth year, your cultivation level was still at the fifth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and you realized that perhaps due to your inadequate aptitude, you focused most of your energy on improving the quality of your Golden Core.] [In the thirteenth year, your cultivation level remained at the fifth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and the quality of your Golden Core did not improve further.] [One day, Protector Zong sought you out alone, and you had a bad feeling about it, but since Protector Zong was your immediate superior, you didn''t have the right to refuse.] [Protector Zong took you to a secluded place, his gaze no longer discreet but becoming fierce and greedy.] [He told you that from the first time he saw you, he knew you were cultivating the Changchun Technique.] [With a foreboding feeling, you could sense Protector Zong''s ill-intent towards you, but with your strength, you were completely unable to resist, so you tried to calm yourself and asked how he knew you were cultivating the Changchun Technique.] [Protector Zong grinned viciously, showing a row of stark white teeth, and said it was because he also cultivated the Changchun Technique.] [Your heart trembled, but you still questioned him in confusion, as there should only be one Cultivator with your profession in the world.] [Protector Zong bluntly stated that you were doomed to die and that he was willing to let you die in the know, revealing that he wasn''t from this world but a Cultivator from another world.] [And his only purpose in joining the Descending Sect was to find the long-lost path to immortality, and you were the second Cultivator he had encountered in all these years, possessing strong vitality and perfectly suited to extend his lifespan.] [You had already anticipated what he prepared to do to you, but you didn''t intend to go down without a fight. You circulated all the blood energy throughout your body and launched an all-out attack on Protector Zong.] [However, the gap between the two of you was too great. Protector Zong didn''t even need to use his full strength to knock you unconscious.] [When you woke again, you found yourself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by torture devices, and you were firmly bound, with your limbs severed and unable to move.] [Sect Elder Zong wasn''t wearing a mask, revealing a gaunt face full of wrinkles, and his yellowed teeth looked somewhat unsettling.] "[He demanded to know why you were able to cultivate since there was no spiritual energy in the real world.]" "[Knowing that death was inevitable, you clenched your teeth and said nothing.]" "[Sect Elder carefully took out a bamboo tube which contained a black insect as thick as a thumb. The insect slowly crawled onto your body and eventually burrowed into you through your eyes.]" "[You struggled with all your might to resist, but you found that no matter what, you were powerless, and even the spiritual power within you had vanished.]" "[As the dark Gu insect burrowed into your body, you felt a pain akin to thousands of ants gnawing at your heart, but you couldn''t fight back at all, you couldn''t even kill yourself.]" "[You gritted your teeth, and your unyielding spirit came into play at that moment, allowing you to endure a little longer.]" "[And Protector Zong''s voice, grating on the nerves, echoed in your ears. He told you that he knew you must have found a copy of the world that still had spiritual energy. As long as you gave up the coordinates of that copy, he would grant you a swift end.]" Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "[Your mind was clouded with pain; the only thought in your heart was that, even in death, you would not reveal the copy''s coordinates, as you would not leave such a benefit to the Sect Elder.]" "[You refused to give up, still thinking of a way to escape, but you couldn''t muster the focus at all.]" "[Just then, a voice reached your ears, and you were startled. Then, you realized it was the voice of the Gu insect.]" "[Suddenly, you remembered your level ten talent in Beast Speech, and the Gu insect was clearly a type of beast, so you patiently coaxed the insect, hoping it would leave your body.]" "[Unexpectedly, the Gu insect actually agreed. It crawled out of your mouth and even turned back to look at you curiously.]" "[As the Gu insect left your body, the pain inside you quickly dissipated, but you could feel that your internal organs were riddled with holes from the insect''s biting.]" "[Fortunately, this Gu insect was only meant to torture, not to kill, and since you were a Cultivator at the Organ Refining Stage, the damage to your organs could heal gradually.]" "[Protector Zong''s face went pale; he had not expected you to be able also to command the Gu insects, and he asked whether you had received a legacy from the Gu tribe.]" "[You sneered and paid no heed to Protector Zong.]" "[Over the next three days, Protector Zong tried dozens of tortures on you, but your mind remained resolute, and you did not relent.]" Su Xing paused, puzzled: "Could it be that I am one of those rare, tough guys that come around once in a thousand years?" This is definitely not it! Su Xing shook his head slightly. "Could it be that the toughness innate to me is so strong... that I can withstand torture? No, that can''t be right, a mere green talent shouldn''t have such an effect!" Su Xing pondered for a long time and then realized. "Perhaps it''s because the ''me'' in the simulator acts according to my thoughts in the real world, and since I do not wish to compromise, the ''me'' in the simulator won''t surrender either?" Su Xing nodded slightly; this was the only explanation that made sense. Su Xing continued the simulation. "[Seeing that he couldn''t get any useful information from you, the Sect Elder gave up.]" "[But he didn''t just finish you off; instead, he took out a huge alchemy furnace, and you were thrown into the Pill Furnace. He intended to refine you into a Human Pill!]" Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Escape from Death [In the Alchemy Furnace, surrounded by pitch darkness, you felt the temperature continually rising, making you feel exceptionally hot and uncomfortable.][Outside the Alchemy Furnace, Protector Zong''s sinister laughter rang out. He told you that he intended to refine you into a supreme replenishing elixir that had never been seen before, to help him break through to the Return to Void Realm.] [You remained silent, yet your mind was still racing with plans to escape. At this moment, inside the Alchemy Furnace, as long as you could reach the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you would surely be able to evade the torment of this old dog.] [Alas, entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land required the stimulation of Spiritual Power, and all of yours was sealed, rendering you completely incapable of entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [And your storage ring had already been taken away by Protector Zong, leaving you without a single Spirit Stone to gather Spiritual Energy anew.] [It seemed you had fallen into a desperate situation, only able to wait as time passed, until the day you would be refined into an elixir.] [You didn''t know how much time had passed when you awoke from your stupor, just barely hearing Protector Zong''s voice nearby. It seemed he didn''t trust you, so he was constantly watching over the Alchemy Furnace, fearful that something unexpected would happen during the process.] [Days went by, and it appeared that refining you into an elixir would be a lengthy process. Through this time, Protector Zong was somewhat bored and began talking to himself.] [From his words, you understood that you would be refined for a total of forty-nine days before you would be made into an elixir.] [You exhaled in relief; this meant you still had a chance to escape.] [In the following days, you continuously tried to break through to your Dantian, attempting to recondense your Spiritual Power. However, there was not a trace of Spiritual Energy in this world, and you couldn''t gather any at all.] [Several days later, from Protector Zong''s monologue, you learned that today marked the seventh day of you being refined into an elixir.] [At the same time, you came to understand that Protector Zong was from a Cultivation World simulation, a native of that simulated environment, but that world had reached the end of its cultivation era, with no possibility of further cultivation advancement.] [Protector Zong had once consumed an elixir called the Yellow Springs Pill, which put him into a deep sleep to extend his life span. A hundred years ago, the Descending Sect found him and woke him from his slumber. Desiring immortality, Protector Zong chose to join the Descending Sect.] [Protector Zong said that his lifespan was ending, and only by refining you into a great replenishing elixir, could he extend his life and find the time to seek a cultivation world.] Su Xing remained silent for a long time after seeing this. In the latter half of this simulation, despite his tragic experience, he had gained a lot of unprecedented information. Firstly, the origin of Protector Zong was now clear; he indeed came from a Cultivation World, but one that had reached the end of its era. Su Xing thought back to the information about the Cultivation World simulation he had obtained from a previous simulation. "This Protector Zong must be from that simulation coded as the end of the era, practicing the Changchun Technique, and must belong to a sect called the Changchun Sect within the simulation!" "Except this damned Zong is a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, and his lifespan is nearing its enddoesn''t that mean he''s lived for almost a thousand years?" A Nascent Soul cultivator has a lifespan of five hundred years, Divinity Transformation a thousand years! This old dog joined the Descending Sect a hundred years ago; probably, aside from his formidable strength, the mysterious and unpredictable methods of a cultivator were his biggest trumps. "Indeed, this Protector Zong is not someone to be trifled with. In future simulations, I must never join the zealous faction again," Su Xing muttered while stroking his chin, yet his heart also held some doubts. In previous simulations, he had encountered Protector Zong. Why didn''t Protector Zong imprison and torment him at that time? After all, Protector Zong also practiced the Changchun Technique and should have seen through Su Xing''s cover at first glance. Su Xing''s mind suddenly raced as he thought: "Perhaps, it was the Shadow Protector who sheltered me? After all, the Shadow Protector''s strength is also unfathomable, and she might not even be weaker than Protector Zong..." "Initially, I joined the Nature Faction, so naturally, the Shadow Protector would protect me... Maybe that damned Zong also negotiated with the Shadow Protector, but in the end, she chose to save me, and Zong, out of fear of the Shadow Protector, did not dare to make a move!" "That''s right, it must be so! As for why the Shadow Protector saved me, maybe it''s because she thinks I am younger with more potential, or that I align with her beliefs? So she might favor me..." Touching his chin, Su Xing obtained too much information from this simulation, which left his thoughts somewhat chaotic. Su Xing shook his head and continued the simulation. [On the twenty-first day, your body began to slowly dissolve, showing signs of transforming into an elixir, making you realize that if you don''t leave this Alchemy Furnace soon, you might truly be refined into an elixir!] [But you simply have no power to resist, you can''t muster a bit of strength, and there''s also a Divinity Transformation Stage old dog watching over you from the outside.] [Just when you''re in despair, Protector Zong opens a small corner of the Alchemy Furnace and drops down a few strands of Spiritual Medicine.] [You''re utterly baffled. As if using people for Alchemy wasn''t enough, Protector Zong actually dropped down a few strands of Spiritual Medicine. This guy must have never seen ''Journey to the West''.] [A few strands of deep green Spiritual Medicine scatter around your body, and although you can hardly move at this point, you struggle desperately toward the Spiritual Medicine.] [You''re only less than a meter away from the Spiritual Medicine, but this meter seems like a chasm. Using your head as support, you exert all your strength and spend more than an hour to desperately move towards the Spiritual Medicine.] [You seem to smell the enticing scent of the Spiritual Medicine and feel its abundant Spiritual Energy.] [Without hesitation, you open your mouth wide and swallow a strand of Spiritual Medicine, then you start to frantically circulate your Cultivation Technique, attempting to restore the little bit of Spiritual Energy inside you.] [You succeed. After several hours of effort, you manage to recover a trace of Spiritual Energy within you.] [Without hesitation, you activate the Spirit Field Blessed Land, and in an instant, you disappear from the spot.] [Arriving in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, your nervous heart finally settles down. Even if that damned Zong is strong, he can''t possibly cross space to reach this Blessed Land.] Relieved, Su Xing muttered to himself: "Damn it, this simulation was way too harsh, wasn''t it? I almost got refined into a Human Pill... Indeed, revealing one''s strength is dangerous; staying steady is most important!" With a thought, Su Xing originally believed that having broken through to the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm, his true combat power could compare to a high-tier professional, and he considered himself a minor powerhouse. But he never expected the world to be so perilous, and with his strength, he still couldn''t ensure his own safety. "Indeed, the safest place is still the school... before having absolute power, I must not venture out recklessly!" Su Xing muttered to himself. Then, he went back to the simulation. [Although the Sect Elder cannot come in, you can already imagine the scene of Protector Zong raging thunderously after discovering your disappearance. But at the same time, you can''t return to the real world...] [Because you know that as soon as you go back, you will surely be caught by the waiting Protector Zong, and the situation seems to have reached a deadlock.] Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Complete Changchun Technique Obtained! "Fortunately, within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, there was an abundance of food and water, and even the scenery was beautiful with plentiful Spiritual Energy. You could comfortably stay hidden here until the end of the world came.""After being tortured by Elder Jin, you found that your Dantian was shattered, and your Qi Refining Cultivation had almost fallen to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Your limbs had also been melted by the Pill Furnace, turning you into a disabled person, utterly incapable of continuing cultivation." "Although you were unable to continue with cultivation, the means you possessed as a Cultivator made living a life akin to that of an ordinary person not difficult at all." "In the following days, you lived a leisurely life of peaceful retirement, farming land, raising chickens, enjoying mouthwatering Spirit Rice, eating some wild vegetables, and occasionally killing a Spirit Chicken to satisfy a craving, leading quite a pleasant life." "In the fourteenth year, one day, the entire space of the Spirit Field Blessed Land began to shatter, and you sensed something in your heart, knowing that the extraordinary beast had finally arrived." "Before you were to die, you decided to return to the real world to take a look, so with a thought, you left the Spirit Field Blessed Land and returned to the place where you had been used for alchemy." "The giant Pill Furnace that was three zhang high was long gone, and darkness surrounded you, filled with ruins and sludge. You could hardly stand steadily, and you realized that you might have been swallowed by a massive beast." "Just when you thought you were certainly going to die, an elderly voice came from behind." "You looked carefully and saw an old man with withered features and a flickering life force, shakily emerging from a cornerit was Protector Zong!" "You were stunned. You didn''t expect Protector Zong, in his obsession to turn you into an elixir, had waited for two whole years, even ending up with the same fate of being devoured by a giant beast like you." "Upon seeing you, Protector Zong''s face showed a look of surprise mixed with craziness, his body trembling as he spoke about your possession of a paradise." "Protector Zong knelt before you with a tear-stained face, saying he did not have much time left and only wished to see the paradise you had before he died." "Seeing Protector Zong in such agony, you gave a bitter smile and chose to commit suicide." "You died!" "Your innate talent ''Unwilling to Close One''s Eyes in Death'' activated..." "Upon witnessing your death, Protector Zong became completely mad with frenzy. You were his only hope for continuing cultivation. Now that you had died, he knew there was no chance for him to cultivate further. His cultivation mindset collapsed, and he died miserably beside your corpse." "Ding, the simulation has ended!" After the simulation ended, Su Xing fell into deep contemplation. This simulation was of immeasurable value to Su Xing. Firstly, Su Xing finally obtained the complete version of the Changchun Technique, meaning that his path of cultivation would not cease in the future. Su Xing now had hope of cultivating up to the Return to Void Realm. Once he reached the Return to Void Realm, Su Xing could travel to the Qingyun Sect, which might be a world belonging to Cultivators. Once Su Xing could reach that place, he would have access to more cultivation resources. By then, with the help of the simulator, Su Xing''s cultivation speed would undergo a qualitative change. Secondly, the simulation had a significant informational impact on Su Xing. Su Xing confirmed that on this world, there were not only him as a Cultivator. Or to put it another way, while Blue Star might only have him as a Cultivator, the Cultivation-oriented copies might contain quite a number of Cultivators. More worryingly, these Cultivators might already have a way to come into the real world and are influencing it. Their intentions, whether good or bad, but for Su Xing, who harbors a great secret, are most certainly exploitable. It was now certain that among the cultivators was Protector Zong, that old dog, and Dragon Protector, who had previously killed Su Xing in an instant it was highly likely that he was also a cultivator. Moreover, Su Xing could now confirm that Protector Zong came from the simulation of the Age of Dharma Decline. "The simulation of the Age of Dharma Decline may hold many secrets, but with my current strength, the danger of exploring it personally is simply too great," "The best approach is to explore the Age of Dharma Decline simulation and perhaps gain a lot of useful information. However, before that, I still need to increase my strength by a notch, ideally reaching the Origin Martial Realm, or even the Nascent Soul Realm... That way I won''t waste simulation attempts." Su Xing pondered to himself. Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "And another point, which is the most crucial! In the real world, I must not expose my identity! Especially the fact that I can cultivate! Once exposed, I fear that there will be no shortage of powerful beings who have been cut off from the path of immortality coming to trouble me. At best, they will imprison me; at worst, they might even refine me into a puppet... I must not underestimate these people''s thirst for cultivation!" Just thinking about the inhumane tortures he had experienced in the simulation made Su Xing''s scalp tingle. "That Protector Zong, in order to imprison me, did not hesitate to hide for many years, just to observe whether I could cultivate steadily." "Upon discovering that I indeed could cultivate, Protector Zong immediately showed his fangs and even waited several years after my escape, showing the depth of his obsession!" "What''s most frightening is that there might not be just one person like Protector Zong. Those cultivators who emerged from the simulations, having faced the severance of their path of cultivation, would surely reveal their true nature at the slightest hope of cultivation... And those who managed to survive from the Age of Dharma Decline to now are definitely far more powerful than me!" Su Xing took a deep breath and repeatedly said in his mind. "Be more cautious! Even more cautious! I must not expose myself until I have absolute power..." After pausing, Su Xing thought again: "However, once I have the strength, perhaps I can find a way to eliminate Sect Elder Zong. After all, that guy is a great cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Realm and certainly knows a lot about the cultivation world. I know too little about the way of cultivation and could use him as a stepping stone to better understand the cultivation world." "But this is not something to be rushed; what needs to be done now is still steadily increasing my strength!" Su Xing took a deep breath and then looked at the rewards for this simulation. [Beast Speech Level 10]: A blue-grade talent, priced at 100,000 energy points. [Golden Core Stage Fifth Layer]: Cultivation level, the quality of the Golden Core further improved, now of upper-mid quality, not far from a high-grade Golden Core, priced at 400,000 energy points. [Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Insights into alchemy, priced at 10,000 energy points. [Changchun Technique]: The foundational cultivation technique of the Changchun Sect, a prerequisite part of a much more powerful technique, can be cultivated to the great perfection of the Return to Void Realm, priced at 500,000 energy points. Su Xing fell into thought looking at the four simulation rewards before him. First and foremost, he had to acquire the Changchun Technique. After all, he had obtained it only after great effort and enduring torture in the simulator. If he didn''t take it this time, he might waste another simulation opportunity. Among the remaining three options, Su Xing immediately excluded the Alchemy Experience because, in this simulation, he hadn''t learned any new pill recipes, so it was of little value to him. After hesitating for a while, Su Xing said: "I choose to take out the Changchun Technique and the Level 10 Beast Speech Talent!" Chapter 59: Chapter 59: The Spirit Chicken and the Peak-Level Alchemy The Beast Speech talent at level ten vastly exceeded Su Xing''s expectations in this simulation.Foremost was the ability to communicate with Gu Insects during a crisis, which allowed Su Xing to turn danger into safety. Next was the ability to communicate with Spirit Chickens, which also enabled Su Xing to breed them more effectively, thereby improving the quality of the eggs and chicken soup. Even more, Su Xing could use this ability to cultivate more useful spiritual animals in the future. Such a talent was hard to come by; if missed this time, who knows when it would be available again. As for cultivation level, the advancement Su Xing experienced in this simulation was limited; it wasn''t indispensable. After Su Xing made his choice, the system''s notification sounded in his ear. [Ding, you have chosen to take out the complete Changchun Technique, which cost 500,000 points of energy, leaving a balance of 193,000 points.] [Ding, you have chosen to take out the level ten blue talent Beast Speech, which cost 100,000 points of energy, leaving a balance of 93,000 points.] At the same time, a complete ancient text appeared in Su Xing''s hands, which was the complete Changchun Technique. Su Xing sighed somewhat, "The first half of the technique was worth a mere 3,000 points of energy, yet the technique that could cultivate to the Return to Void Realm was valued at an astonishing 500,000 points." Perhaps, in the simulator''s eyes, a cultivation technique that could only cultivate to the Golden Core Stage wasn''t much, after all, it would only produce a Golden Core Stage cultivator at best. But cultivating to the Return to Void Realm was an entirely different matter. Of course, Su Xing guessed that a large part of this 500,000 points of energy might also be because the Changchun Technique was a component of a much more powerful cultivation technique, which is why it held such value. Su Xing gave the Changchun Technique a careful read and indeed found the cultivation mantra for after the Nascent Soul Stage in the latter half. Besides the cultivation mantra, Su Xing also discovered some annotations on cultivation experiences left by previous cultivators of the Changchun Sect. Su Xing treasured them like valuable treasures; these cultivation experiences were immensely useful to him. So far, Su Xing''s cultivation had been based on his own explorations; the experiences in this technique could not only make cultivation more intuitive for Su Xing but would also help him avoid many detours. "I see, during the Qi refining and Foundation Establishment Stage, it is crucial to pay attention to the expansion of the Dantian so as to lay the groundwork for the Golden Core Stage and condense a higher-quality Golden Core." Su Xing reflected with slight emotion; the experiences detailed methods for expanding the Dantian, which Su Xing had not known before, so his cultivation in the Golden Core Stage might be slightly slower. "However, there are still ways to remedy this. According to the experiences recorded, it requires more courage and time to directly elevate the quality of the Golden Core to higher-grade, which would also greatly increase the speed of cultivation..." Su Xing pondered thoughtfully, scrutinizing the cultivation experiences in the ancient text over and over again while combining them with his own cultivation gains from recent days, feeling that he had benefited a lot. After a while, Su Xing returned from his reverie, his eyes brimming with newfound confidence, and said, "As long as I can master the experiences recorded in this book one by one, my cultivation speed might very well increase by another third!" An increase by a third was no small amount; it might save Su Xing several rounds of simulation time in the future. Su Xing carefully stored the ancient text and then began to ponder over the second reward he had taken out, the level ten Beast Speech talent. After carefully feeling it out for a while, Su Xing hadn''t noticed any difference; just as he started to feel puzzled, he suddenly heard a voice coming from afar. "Brother Chicken! Can you share some Spirit Rice with me... I don''t need much, just two and a half grains is enough!" Su Xing paused for a moment when he heard the sound and then looked towards its source. He then discovered that in the chicken enclosure he had set up, several Spirit Chickens wore a flattering expression, seemingly wanting to eat more grains of Spirit Rice. One particularly majestic and assertive rooster even had a look of disdain in its eyes and casually said, "Little Blackie, it''s not that Brother Chicken doesn''t want to give you guys more, but you''re not trying hard enough! In this world, it''s survival of the fittest. I''m stronger than you, so I naturally get more Spirit Rice..." Upon hearing Brother Chicken''s words, the other smaller Spirit Chickens immediately trembled. Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing witnessed this scene with a black line forming on his forehead. "I was wondering why the evolution speed of the Spirit Chickens have been slowing down this recently. Turns out there''s a bad egg in the group! Daring to call himself Brother Chicken? Isn''t this affecting the breeding speed of my Spirit Chickens?" "Looks like it''s time for a special meal tonight, a serving of Spirit Chicken soup..." Without much hesitation, Su Xing picked up a knife and sharpened it menacingly towards Brother Chicken. With a swift motion, killing, bleeding, plucking... he went through the whole process smoothly. As Su Xing sipped on the Spirit Chicken soup, he said to the other chickens, "You are all equal! There''s no such thing as Brother Chicken or not. Whoever dares to hinder the evolution of the other chickens is my enemy!" Seeing that the strongest Spirit Chicken among them couldn''t make even the smallest ripple in Su Xing''s hands, and at most could only make Su Xing burp contentedly, they were immediately terrified and trembled all over. "Ah! There''s only one true Brother Chicken in this world, and that''s our great master! I, Little Blackie, swear to protect Brother Chicken with my life from now on!" Watching the Spirit Chickens swear their loyalty, another black line rose on Su Xing''s forehead. Great, now I''m Brother Chicken? Su Xing curled his lips, but the breeding speed of his Spirit Chickens had not been slow over these past few months. The second generation of Spirit Chickens had already started to develop slowly, providing Su Xing with ample Spirit Chicken eggs every day, sometimes dozens, sometimes as many as fifty or sixty. With an abundance of Spirit Chicken eggs, Su Xing couldn''t even finish them all, and their effects were even better than Spirit Rice, continuously nourishing his physical body, while all he had to give in return was some Spirit Rice. In the following week, Su Xing, as always, refined three hundred Nourishing Face Pills, and besides that, struck by inspiration, he also refined some lower-grade Healing Pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills for emergency use. Without sufficient aged Spiritual Medicines, Su Xing was completely unable to refine Organ Refining Pills, and even the effectiveness of the Healing Pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills was only one tenth of the normal ones. But even so, Essence-Nourishing Pills were precious materials that could directly enhance a Cultivator''s Spiritual Power and even a professional''s mental attributes. However, after some experimentation, Su Xing found that the lower-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills'' effects would completely vanish after consuming dozens of them, providing only limited improvement, and couldn''t continually strengthen a Cultivator''s Spiritual Energy like the real Essence-Nourishing Pills. But these lower-grade Pills were advantageous because the materials were cheap and the methods were simple, allowing Su Xing to refine hundreds of them in a day. After developing the lower-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills, Su Xing was surprised to find that the skill level for refining Essence-Nourishing Pills in his skill bar had risen from advanced to peak level. This was a pleasant surprise for Su Xing, as among the Alchemy skills he mastered, there were now two types of Elixirs that had reached peak level. They were the Nourishing Face Pill and the Essence-Nourishing Pill. Without exception, Su Xing had modified both types of Elixirs and developed new versions of them. "Could it be that, to raise an Alchemy skill to peak level, besides mastering the original essentials of Alchemy, one also needs their own understanding and even personal improvements?" Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Brothers Su Xing seemed pensive, preparing to make a few more attempts later when he had time to confirm his thoughts.Seven days flashed by, and it was the day of the week to conduct the trade with Jin Congxue again. Su Xing handed over the three hundred Nourishing Face Pills he had prepared in advance to Jin Congxue, and in exchange, Jin Congxue gave Su Xing the 120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment she had prepared for the week. During the meal, Jin Congxue hesitated for a moment before saying to Su Xing, "Today someone came to our Tarot Society to sell equipment. Guess who it was?" Su Xing shook his head slightly. Jin Congxue said, Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It was Yu Yan. I remember he''s your roommate, right? Today he came to our Tarot Society and sold a Master Level piece of equipment." Hearing this, Su Xing frowned slightly. How come Yu Yan was selling equipment? And it was even a Master Level equipment. If Su Xing remembered correctly, Yu Yan should still be at Master Level, and Master Level equipment would undoubtedly be very important to him. Jin Congxue continued at this point, "And by the looks of him, it seemed like he wanted to sell more than just one piece of equipment. If I''m not mistaken, he must have encountered some difficulty." Su Xing was startled. Such urgency to sell equipment, what kind of difficulty could he have encountered? It''s nothing but a shortage of money. In the past, to quickly obtain energy, Su Xing had borrowed over fifty million Great Xia Coins from Yu Yan. Since the Tarot Society had just been established and was continuing its financial chain, Su Xing thought that perhaps Yu Yan was not in a hurry for the money, so he did not rush to pay it back. But now that Yu Yan had fallen to the point of selling his equipment, he must indeed be very short on cash. Even so, Yu Yan still hadn''t prompted Su Xing to repay the debt. If it weren''t for Jin Congxue mentioning it today, Su Xing would still be in the dark. With this thought, Su Xing felt somewhat moved. Even in such difficulty, Yu Yan still hadn''t urged Su Xing to repay the money. Presumably, Yu Yan probably thought that his financial situation was very difficult too... Thinking this, Su Xing said to Jin Congxue, "Congxue, take out a hundred million Great Xia Coins from the business for me. I have an urgent need." Jin Congxue seemed contemplative, "Is it for that Yu Yan?" Su Xing nodded and didn''t conceal the truth, saying, "There was a time not long ago when I was in a tough spot, and Yu Yan lent me fifty million, which I have yet to repay... Even now that he''s in trouble, he hasn''t brought this matter up to me." After hearing this, Jin Congxue nodded. Fifty million might not mean much to her, but for a student like Yu Yan, it was definitely a significant sum. If he hadn''t lent those fifty million to Su Xing, Yu Yan probably wouldn''t have had to resort to selling his equipment. Therefore, Jin Congxue said, "Alright, I''ll transfer one hundred million to you for now. As for the equipment that Yu Yan sold, why don''t we return it as well?" Upon hearing this, Su Xing shook his head and said, "Keep the equipment Yu Yan sold for now. After I repay the money, Yu Yan will likely redeem it himself. You can just give it back to him at the original price then." If Su Xing directly returned the equipment, it would be difficult to explain how he came to know of this matter. Moreover, Fatty Yu was someone who cared a lot about face; bringing it up directly would be rather ungraceful. After the meal, Su Xing went back to the dormitory, where it happened that Yu Yan was also there. Su Xing chuckled and patted Yu Yan''s shoulder, saying, "Fatty, last time I was a bit tight and borrowed 55 million from you. I just happened to make a small deal recently, so I''ll pay you back now!" Upon hearing this, Yu Yan felt a twinge in his heart, his face showing a bit of confusion. He was short on cash recently; how did Su Xing decide to repay him just at this moment? But Yu Yan couldn''t glean any information from Su Xing''s expression and took it as a coincidence that Su Xing had money to repay. So, Yu Yan said, "Cough cough! What''s with the formalities between brothers? I''m not short of cash! You can pay me back whenever By the way, do you need me to lend you some more money?" Su Xing''s face was all smiles, but inwardly, he rolled his eyes. This guy really cared about face! Without any fuzz, Su Xing transferred 50 million on the spot, saying, "Fatty, I''ll pay back 50 million first. I''ll cover the remaining 5 million with some items I got from the instance drops!" "This stuff is really good! Make sure you use it yourself, don''t show it to others." With those words, Su Xing took out a bottle of the low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pill, which contained thirty elixirs, and handed it over. Yu Yan took the elixirs, still hesitating as he said, "I''ll accept the items. As for the money, you can owe it for now! I''m really not short on cash!" The corner of Su Xing''s mouth twitched unwillingly, and observing Yu Yan''s convincing performance, had Su Xing not known the truth from Jin Congxue, he might have been deceived by this Fatty. But Su Xing still pretended to be oblivious, "No problem! If I''m short on cash later on, I''ll come borrow from you! Just think of it as money kept with a brother!" Upon hearing this, Yu Yan finally accepted the money, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Cough cough, Ah Xing, I have something to deal with, I need to step out" No sooner had he spoken than Yu Yan hurriedly left the school. Watching Yu Yan''s hastily retreating figure, Su Xing couldn''t help but laugh out loud. Nine times out of ten, the guy was off to redeem his equipment. Regarding this good brother, Su Xing was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart. Without Yu Yan''s initial support, how could Su Xing have developed so quickly? Nor would he have achieved what he had today. Thus, Su Xing chose to give Yu Yan thirty low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills. Even though the Essence-Nourishing Pills were a low-grade version, their value was still considerable. Even the low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills could increase a Golden Core Stage cultivator''s mana. For professionals, even those at Master Level in magical professions, it could directly enhance their spirit attributes. Anyone who has played games knows that attribute points are precious, and aside from level and equipment bonuses, only extremely rare items could permanently enhance attributes. For Yu Yan, the Flame Burst Mage, the effect of the low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills was undoubtedly enormous. Su Xing reckoned that once Yu Yan digested the thirty Essence-Nourishing Pills, he would be able to attempt advancing to the Grandmaster Level professions. If one were to evaluate the value of the low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills in monetary terms, Su Xing estimated that it would cost at least two to three million to buy just one, and that''s if Su Xing was even willing to sell them. Su Xing clearly had no intention of selling the Essence-Nourishing Pills on a large scale; after all, the Essence-Nourishing Pill was different from the Nourishing Face Pill. If it entered the market, it might attract the attention of the Great Xia Military. That was still manageable, but what Su Xing truly feared was drawing attention from the Descending Sect. After all, the damned Zong''s actions in the last simulation had caused Su Xing a truly significant psychological trauma. So, Su Xing only planned to give some Essence-Nourishing Pills to those close to him to help them enhance their strength. For example, Yu Yan, Jin Congxue, and Wang Qingxuan. In a while, Su Xing thought he might send some Essence-Nourishing Pills to his little sister as well. Seeing that there was no one around, Su Xing turned and entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance. It was the afternoon of January 21st in the New Era 2024, and Su Xing promptly started the twentieth simulation. Chapter 61: Chapter 61: New Talent, Wood and Fire Dual-Element True Spiritual Root! Having received a new batch of equipment from Jin Congxue, totaling 120,000 pieces, it was converted into seven hundred thousand simulation energy points.Together with the one hundred thousand points of energy Su Xing had left over from before, his energy once again reached eight hundred thousand points. Now that Su Xing had a stable source of energy and the latter half of the Changchun Technique, he could cultivate up to the perfected Return to Void Realm. What Su Xing needed now was to further enhance his cultivation level and strength. "Begin simulation!" [This simulation will consume 2,000 energy points, remaining energy points: 803,000, remaining number of simulations: unlimited.] [Simulation starting!] [Extracting a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 points, and extracting a blue talent costs 10,000 points. Would you like to extract?] "Extract the blue quality talent!" For Su Xing, who was not worried about energy, blue-quality talents had now become standard. [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the blue talent, Wood-Fire Dual-type Mutated True Spiritual Root] [Wood-Fire Dual-type Mutated True Spiritual Root]: You possess a powerful True Spiritual Root, your cultivation talent far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators, and your True Spiritual Root seems to be somewhat different from others, having attributes of both wood and fire. "Holy shit, I''ve pulled a cultivation talent!" Su Xing exclaimed excitedly. True Spiritual Root, as recorded in the Changchun Technique, is a one in ten thousand existence among cultivators. Cultivators with True Spiritual Roots often cultivate tens of times faster than ordinary cultivators, much stronger than the previous dual-type Spiritual Roots. True Spiritual Roots are also known as Single Spiritual Roots which, as the name implies, only possess a single attribute. For example, cultivators with a wood-attribute True Spiritual Root can only cultivate wood-attribute Cultivation Techniques and absorb wood-attribute Spiritual Energy. But Su Xing''s True Spiritual Root had mutated in some way, not only did he have the cultivation talent of a True Spiritual Root, but he could also cultivate two types of Spiritual Energy simultaneously! "Good thing it''s a dual-type Spiritual Root. Otherwise, if it were a single-type, I wouldn''t be able to continue with alchemy," Su Xing sighed in relief. Alchemy requires having both wood and fire dual-type Spiritual Roots. The fire attribute Spiritual Root is used to control flames, while the wood attribute Spiritual Root is used to sense the changes of Spiritual Medicine within the Alchemy Furnace. Therefore, one cannot do without either type of Spiritual Root; only cultivators with both types of Spiritual Roots can cultivate Alchemy. However, those who usually possess dual-type Spiritual Roots tend to have Pseudo Spiritual Roots, thus alchemists often do not have strong cultivation levels. Cultivators like Su Xing who have a dual-type mutated Spiritual Root are one in hundreds of thousands. Su Xing pondered slightly, "Now that my Spiritual Root talent has improved, the next simulations should focus more on enhancing my cultivation level. With the True Spiritual Root, it should be completely sufficient for me to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm within a hundred years, right?" Su Xing began the simulation. [Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [Your Spiritual Root talent has been enhanced, and you feel that the speed of your cultivation is much faster than before. You seize the time to cultivate diligently.] [The spiritual energy within the Spirit Field Blessed Land flowed into your Dantian''s Golden Core like a gentle stream, making a single day of cultivation equivalent to several days previously.] [In the following year, you absorbed the spiritual energy from the Blessed Land every day for cultivation, without wasting any Spirit Stones. You still had nearly a thousand Spirit Stones.] [Your cultivation level broke through to the third layer of the Golden Core Stage, and small realm bottlenecks seemed as simple to you as eating and drinking.] Su Xing smiled upon seeing this. In previous simulations, it would take a year or two to break through a single realm, but this time, he had broken through two realms in just one yearthe speed was much faster than before. [One day, Wang Qingxuan found you and informed you about a mysterious organization.] [After a night of profound changes, you joined the Descending Sect together with Wang Qingxuan.] [As usual, you did not draw too much attention in the initial half year, focusing instead on gaining the trust of the Descending Sect.] [You strived for perfection in completing each task, and all of this was noticed by the Shadow Protector, who started paying gradual attention to you.] [Your cultivation level broke through to the fourth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and you were ready to reveal your talent in pill concocting.] [During a certain mission, you purposefully did not use your full strength, resulting in a team member being seriously injured. Just as he was about to say his last words, you produced a Wound Healing Pill and saved his life.] [Following that, you became inconspicuous as usual, waiting for the higher-ups of the sect to contact you.] [A month quickly went by without any high-level members of the sect contacting you.] [You started to grow anxious, as this did not fit your plan. In your mind, that team member should have spread the word about your alchemy skills to receive a reward from the sect.] [After secretly making inquiries for several days, you found that the sect had not received any word of your talent in alchemy. You were rendered speechless, having saved someone who knew how to repay a kindness.] [Thus, you deliberately revealed some of your alchemy skills, and after some time, Elder Shadow finally contacted you.] [The Shadow Protector directly expressed that she had been observing you for quite some time. She inquired about the exceptionally effective Wound Healing Pills you seemed to possess and wanted to know their origin.] [Your heart leapt with joy, but you maintained an appearance of difficulty on the outside. After repeated assurances from the Shadow Protector, you finally admitted that you had concocted those pills.] [The Shadow Protector was overjoyed at this revelation. She asked how many Wound Healing Pills you could supply each month.] [You intentionally underestimated the amount, stating that you could produce at most three hundred Wound Healing Pills a month, while in truth, you could concoct three hundred such pills in three days, leaving the rest of the time for cultivation and idling.] [The Shadow Protector was ecstatic upon hearing this, promising that as long as you could supply three hundred Wound Healing Pills each month, you would become an Elder-level figure within half a year.] [You agreed to the Shadow Protector''s conditions, revealing that you could also concoct a pill called the Essence-Nourishing Pill, which could permanently enhance the spirit attribute of practitioners.] [The Shadow Protector was even more excited upon hearing this. You took the opportunity to state that the concoction of both pills was difficult, requiring many precious medicinal herbs, with one Essence-Nourishing Herb needed to produce each Essence-Nourishing Pill.] [The Shadow Protector sent her subordinates to fetch a large quantity of Spiritual Medicine, including the primary ingredients for the Essence-Nourishing Pills, the Organ Refining Pills, and others.] sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You quietly accepted all the Spiritual Medicine and took out the Essence-Nourishing Herb and another herb, stating that you could produce a hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills each month, but required the sect to supply one hundred Essence-Nourishing Herbs and another herb.] [The Shadow Protector agreed to your request and immediately arranged for over two hundred herbs to be delivered to you, with the excess being a reward for you.] [You accepted the herbs and spent a week each month concocting the Essence-Nourishing Pills and the other pills, using the rest of the time to improve your own cultivation level.] [As the sect''s grandmaster of alchemy, you were exempt from any other tasks apart from concentrating on pill concocting.] [Half a year went by quickly, and with an ample supply of Essence-Nourishing Pills for cultivation, you successfully advanced to the fifth layer of the Golden Core Stage!] [One day, the Shadow Protector held a grand Elder''s meeting for you, and you became the eighteenth Elder of the Descending Sect, codenamed "Elder Medicine".] Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Spy Plan Exposed Su Xing saw this and immediately thought to himself, "Steady!"Having the status of an elder within the Descending Sect, that was indeed the position of a real higher-up! Plus, with Shadow Protector acting as his backing in the simulation, Su Xing figured that damned Zong wouldn''t dare to mess with him. "Ah, it''s indeed comfortable working under Shadow Protector! Not only is the treatment good, but there''s also plenty of time. I only need to spend a few days each month to complete my tasks, and the rest of the time I can cultivate myself, wonderful!" Su Xing sighed softly. In the last simulation, he had joined under Damned Zong, and the outcome was too miserable to look at, nowhere near as good as under Shadow Protector. Not only was she a great beauty, but she was also genuinely good to Su Xing. Su Xing continued the simulation. [In the third year, after becoming an elder, you have the right to choose your own subordinates. You make Wang Qingxuan your elder secretary, who does some work when you''re not busy.] [It is worth mentioning that besides Wang Qingxuan becoming your subordinate, among your newly recruited subordinates, there is one named Little Stone, the same follower you once saved using a Wound Healing Pill, who did not betray you.] [You focus on your cultivation every day, hardly ever leaving home except when necessary to complete your tasks. You do not socialize with other elders within the sect, dedicating yourself entirely to cultivation.] [In the fourth year, your cultivation level advances to the sixth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and you focus on comprehending the Golden Core condensation techniques, further enhancing the quality of your Golden Core.] [In the fifth year, your cultivation level advances to the seventh layer of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the sixth year, your cultivation level advances to the eighth layer of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the seventh year, your cultivation level advances to the ninth layer of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the eighth year, your cultivation level advances to the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the ninth year, after reaching the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage, you did not continue to strive for an increase in cultivation level, aiming for a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage in one go.] [Firstly, because you knew that even with your strong talent, advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage would still require a lot of time.] [Secondly, you knew that your foundation was not yet solid enough and that a lot of time was needed to refine your Golden Core, enabling you to unleash greater combat power.] [So you began to reduce the intake of Essence-Nourishing Pills and spent a fixed four hours each day condensing the spiritual energy within your body, while also refining your Golden Core.] [In the tenth year, your cultivation level did not make any further breakthrough, but you could feel that the quality of your Golden Core was becoming stronger. The spiritual energy within you was at least twenty percent stronger than when you had first reached the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage.] [You continued to tirelessly refine your Golden Core. With a simulator at your disposal, you had plenty of time.] [One day, Shadow Protector sought you out. Over the years, you had helped her refine countless elixirs, and you had gained her immense trust, becoming her most important confidante.] [She called you into a duplicate realm and then took out a corpse of a Shadow Beast, inviting you to join her in transforming your organs to break free from the constraints of the flesh.] [Looking at the hideous corpse on the ground, you felt a wave of nausea. You didn''t want to become a half-human, half-beast existence, so you refused.] [Shadow Protector was not surprised by your refusal. She said she would give you time to slowly accept this matter, but she also indicated that the time she could spare for you was running out, and you had to become a member of the main race as soon as possible.] [You know what the Shadow Protector means by saying there isn''t much time left, because due to the weakness of the Human Race, the invasion from the Foreign Race is accelerating, and perhaps soon the Demon-Subduing Pass will fall.] [The destruction of the real world would definitely be bad for you, as it indicates that the time you have to cultivate is dwindling.] [You begin to ponder whether your own efforts can slow down the rate of the Foreign Race''s invasion of the Human Race.] Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Over the years, you have been able to consistently acquire over two hundred medicinal herbs per month, enough to produce close to two thousand elixirs. Excluding the portion you submit for your duties and what you use for your own cultivation, you have saved up over fifty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and Mind-Nourishing Pills in ten years.] [You consider whether you could offer these elixirs to the upper echelons of the Great Xia Military because if you were discovered, you would definitely be treated as a traitor by the Descending Sect.] [But you know full well that if you do nothing, the real world may be destroyed in just over four years, during which time you can only continue your simulations for four more years.] [One day, you find a perfect excuse to temporarily leave the base and, after making sure no one is following, you use a Disguise Pill to change your appearance.] [After disguising yourself, you reach out directly to Lu Yuanwu and tell him that you have a great gift for him.] [Naturally, Lu Yuanwu thinks you''re a fraud and refuses to meet with you.] [Having no other choice, you use some connections to secretly get in touch with Jin Congxue and manage to secure a meeting with Lu Yuanwu.] [On an empty rooftop, you hand Lu Yuanwu a storage ring that contains over twenty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and more than ten thousand Mind-Nourishing Pills.] [This is undoubtedly a huge fortune, and with these elixirs fully utilized, the Great Xia Military may even produce thousands of Grandmaster Level practitioners within a year.] [You tell Lu Yuanwu to make good use of these elixirs and to keep their source and effects as hidden as possible. After handing over the elixirs to Lu Yuanwu, you leave.] [In the eleventh year, you continue to produce elixirs as usual, rarely venturing out except when necessary for your tasks.] [One day, the Shadow Protector approaches you, accompanied by Protector Zong and several other Elders.] [You can sense the Shadow Protector''s unstable emotions even through the mask, and your heart sinks.] [The Shadow Protector angrily demands to know why you have betrayed her, telling you that the Human Race is already beyond salvation and that your actions will change nothing.] [Protector Zong goes further, saying he has had his eye on you for a while. He wants to extract your secrets and refine you into an elixir to enhance his cultivation.] [You feign confusion and declare your unwavering loyalty, never having betrayed anyone. But when the Shadow Protector brings out an Essence-Nourishing Pill and says it was obtained from the Great Xia Military, you know your cover is blown.] [Several Elders and the two Protectors close in on you, and you realize you are no match for them.] [In a moment of dire urgency, you activate your Spiritual Power and flee into the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance.] [Thankfully, you had a plan in place just in case something like this happened and you faced a siege. You had prepared enough supplies and food in the Spirit Field Blessed Land and left behind thousands of Essence-Nourishing Pills and Mind-Nourishing Pills, all sufficient for a long period of cultivation.] [The Spirit Field Blessed Land is safe, even Martial Emperor Level practitioners and Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators cannot enter, so you start to cultivate there in peace.] [In the twelfth year, your cultivation level has not broken through, but the quality of your Golden Core has improved further, and you feel that condensing a top-quality Golden Core is not far off.] Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Condensing a Superior Golden Core, The Open Source Plan! Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this and murmured to himself,"Although I can''t stay in the outside world, it''s safe within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, and the remaining elixirs are enough for me to cultivate for several years. I just hope that after obtaining enough elixirs, Great Xia Country and Demon-Subduing Pass can hold out a bit longer." The exposure of providing Essence-Nourishing Pills to Great Xia was actually within Su Xing''s expectations, after all, it involved tens of thousands of pills which once poured in, could significantly make up for the deficiency in the country''s middle strength. And such a large number of elixirs would easily attract the attention of the Descending Sect. "But, how exactly was it leaked?" Su Xing frowned slightly. There were two possibilities for the leak. The first was that there were thousands of professionals taking the elixirs, and with such a large number of people, a leak was bound to happen. The second was that there were spies from the Descending Sect among the high ranks of Great Xia, and it was these spies who exposed Su Xing''s provision of elixirs. "I just hope it''s not the second possibility..." Su Xing muttered to himself, the presence of Descending Sect spies within the upper echelons of Great Xia was definitely not good news. Su Xing continued the simulation. [Year thirteen, your Golden Core became brighter, changing from its original pale gold to a rich shade of gold, and your Spirit Pills were more spirited than ever.] [Because you were alone in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, and were not disturbed by the outside world, your cultivation speed was even three times faster than before. The only thing you found difficult to accept was the loneliness. For two years, since you dared not venture out and had no one to converse with, you almost forgot how to talk.] [Fortunately, there were a flock of Spirit Chickens in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, and watching the Spirit Chickens boast and fight became the only joy in your life.] [Year fourteen, with your relentless cultivation, your Golden Core eventually broke through to the Superior Golden Core. You could feel that the amount of Spiritual Power inside you was more than twice that of an ordinary cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage.] [On March 8, 2038 of the New Era, you felt the space quivering, and you returned to the real world before the Spirit Field Blessed Land shattered.] [A gigantic beast that blotted out the sun and sky swallowed the entire Great Xia Country, and you died at the age of 38!] [You triggered your talent, "Unwilling to Close Your Eyes in Death," only to see endless darkness.] [Ding, simulation complete!] With the simulation over, Su Xing''s attention returned from the simulation panel before his eyes. "The apocalypse on March 8, 2038, huh... If I remember correctly, when I was helping the Descending Sect, wasn''t the apocalypse date September 23, 2037?" Su Xing nodded slightly to himself. "It seems that helping the Great Xia Military improve their strength can indeed effectively delay the end of the real world!" Su Xing felt a wave of joy in his heart, as long as the future was not immutable, then with his ever-growing strength and superior alchemy skills, he could further slow down the time until the destruction of the real world. The later the real world destruction occurred, the more time Su Xing would have to improve his own strength, thus forming a positive cycle. Su Xing was like a butterfly influencing the trajectory of the future, subtly changing the course of what was to come. "After this simulation ends, I can basically confirm that working under the Shadow Protector involves no risk to my life. Although the Shadow Protector always wants me to transform my body, he is overall a decent supervisor..." As Su Xing thought this, in this simulation, it was because he had first betrayed the Descending Sect that he became wanted within the sect, and the Shadow Protector''s look of disappointment when confronting him face-to-face was unmistakably genuine. After carefully reviewing the details of this simulation and confirming there were no omissions, Su Xing murmured, "Now it''s time to choose the reward for this simulation..." [True Spiritual Root of Wood and Fire]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points. [Golden Core Stage Great Perfection]: High-quality golden core, naturally perfect, with twice the spiritual power density of a regular cultivator, and just one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage, priced at 1 million energy points. Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 100,000 energy points. [1000 Essence-Nourishing Pills]: Low-grade elixirs that can refine spiritual power and thicken mana, priced at 10 million energy points. This time, the choice for the simulated reward was almost a foregone conclusion. The True Spiritual Root of Wood and Fire could greatly enhance Su Xing''s talent for cultivation, so it was a must-have. And the Cultivation Level of Golden Core Stage Great Perfection would nearly enhance Su Xing''s strength by fifty percent, another must-have. "It''s just a pity that I have less than 800,000 energy points right now, still over 300,000 points short..." Su Xing frowned slightly because as the number of simulation iterations increased, the higher the cultivation he required to bring out, the higher the energy cost for the properties and items became. Even though Su Xing now had a stable source of energy every week, it was still somewhat insufficient. "Since the energy is a bit short, I must find a way to increase income and reduce expenses...but reducing expenses is impossible. After all, it concerns the growth of cultivation. If I slow down the energy consumption of the simulations, my strength will grow much slower..." "In that case, I can only think of ways to increase sources! The Tarot Commerce Association has just started; it''s only these two or three difficult months, and it should get much better afterwards," Su Xing mused. "Perhaps, I could increase the production of Nourishing Face Pills and supply five hundred a week?" But Su Xing quickly dismissed the idea. He was currently providing Jin Congxue with three hundred Nourishing Face Pills per week, nearly a hundred of which were of top quality, able to maintain youth for three months. Based on the market price of one million Great Xia Coins per regular Nourishing Face Pill and three million per top-quality pill, these three hundred pills could sell for nearly five hundred million Great Xia Coins. This meant that, each month, one thousand two hundred Nourishing Face Pills would flood the market, which was nearly saturating it. Should Su Xing increase the production of Nourishing Face Pills, it might backfire by oversaturating the market and decreasing their market price, which would be a loss rather than a gain. "Since producing Nourishing Face Pills isn''t an option, perhaps I could craft a new batch of elixirs to broaden my income streams?" Su Xing pondered over the elixir recipes he currently had mastered: Disguise Pills, Power Pills, Nourishing Face Pills, Fasting Pills, Energy Gathering Powder, Wound Healing Pills, Swiftness Pills, Organ Refining Pills, Essence-Nourishing Pills, Mind-Nourishing Pills Upon recounting, Su Xing was even surprised himself; in just two or three months, he had mastered nearly twenty different elixir crafting methods. "Unfortunately, most of the elixirs I''ve mastered aren''t suitable for public sale, especially the Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills..." "Other than Nourishing Face Pills, maybe I could also sell some Fasting Pills and Wound Healing Pills?" Su Xing chose these because there were already similar potions and items on the market, and secondly, these two types of potions were low cost and could be crafted without needing Spiritual Medicine. The effect of Wound Healing Pills was similar to the healing potions produced in instances, but they were better than the common low-level healing potions, almost equivalent to medium-level healing potions. Medium-level healing potions were mainly used to treat injuries of Gold, Master, and Grandmaster level professionals, with excellent results. The market price for a medium-level healing potion was generally over five hundred thousand Great Xia Coins, and they sold very well. "Then I''ll start by crafting a batch of Wound Healing Pills..." Su Xing quickly made his decision. Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Harvesting a Large Amount of Energy, Spiritual Root Advancement! The Wound Healing Pill, not being an entry-level elixir, was not difficult to refine.With Su Xing''s current alchemy skills, half an hour was enough to refine a batch, producing ten pills, easily achieving a 100% success rate. Furthermore, the medicinal ingredients required for refining Wound Healing Pills were quite common and could be purchased at any larger medicinal herb shop. Su Xing first contacted Jin Congxue, hoping that she could provide him with a hundred thousand pieces of white-quality equipment ahead of schedule this week. "Congxue, can we get the white equipment earlier this week? It''s urgent!" Su Xing sent a message. Jin Congxue replied instantly as always. "Big brother, do you think white equipment grows like cabbages? How can I get them so quickly at such short notice?" Su Xing: "Please, I really need it urgently! Aren''t you our all-powerful Guild Leader? How could this little equipment be difficult for you?" Jin Congxue: "Tsk! (contempt.jpg) I''ll think of something! But seriously, what do you need so much equipment for every week, to eat?" Su Xing: "That''s right, that''s right! I have a superpower that lets me grow stronger by eating equipment. I can only afford white equipment because I''m poor at home! (drooling.jpg)" Jin Congxue: "..." Su Xing: "Okay, no jokes. I''ve developed a new Wound Healing Pill. Its effects are almost as good as the intermediate healing potions on the market. Come take a look when you deliver the equipment in a few days." Jin Congxue: "You''ve refined a new elixir again? So awesome! Rich big brother, please take care of me! (playful.jpg)" After a brief chat, Su Xing took a Disguise Pill and went to a medicinal herb shop in the center of Kyoto on his own to buy enough ingredients to refine five hundred batches of Wound Healing Pills. The cost of ingredients needed for one Wound Healing Pill was about fifty thousand Great Xia Coins, and the selling price after refinement could reach 500,000 Great Xia Coins. A tenfold profit wasn''t too high, but for Su Xing, who was in urgent need of energy, it was enough to significantly replenish his resources. sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. For the next five days, Su Xing truly experienced what it was like to be a hardworking laborer. He spent ten hours a day refining ten batches of Wound Healing Pills and another six hours refining six batches of Nourishing Face Pills, barely collecting the three hundred Nourishing Face Pills and five hundred Wound Healing Pills he needed. After preparing the elixirs, Su Xing arranged a meeting time and place with Jin Congxue. When they met, Jin Congxue was momentarily stunned at the sight of Su Xing and after scrutinizing him closely, asked doubtfully, "How come you look even better after not seeing you for a few days? Hmm, you seem to have an indescribable quality about you..." Su Xing smiled slightly upon hearing this. After stepping into the Golden Core Stage of Qi Refinement, changing bones and being immune to all poisons wasn''t just a joke. Coupled with the ethereal aura of a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, Su Xing indeed appeared increasingly extraordinary. Jin Congxue suspiciously asked, "You wouldn''t be hiding some better elixirs for yourself and hogging them, would you?" Su Xing responded with a wry smile, "My dear lady, how dare I? Haven''t you milked me dry of my inventory?" "Here, these are this week''s elixirs, three hundred Nourishing Face Pills, five hundred Healing Pills... and this bottle of Essence-Nourishing Pill is a gift for you." Su Xing handed several bottles of elixirs to Jin Congxue, instructing her, "The emergence of the Healing Pill might cause some ripples in the market. If anyone asks, say it''s an item obtained from a certain dungeon, and make sure not to reveal... Also, take this Essence-Nourishing Pill for yourself and don''t let others find out about it." Seeing the serious tone of Su Xing, Jin Congxue nodded and said, "I''m reliable in handling things, I won''t expose you." Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this. He trusted Jin Congxue immensely, and then tentatively added, "Could you see if we could get more white-quality equipment each week? It would be best if we could have two to three hundred thousand pieces!" Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and said, "Young master, you''re not really planning on eating equipment, are you? These things aren''t blown in by the wind. Right now, the Tarot Society can only produce up to ten thousand white-quality equipment pieces per week at most. I have to buy the rest at a low price from the Jin Merchant Guild... You know that price doesn''t allow the Jin Merchant Guild to make any profit. If we get any more, I''m afraid the elders of the Jin Merchant Guild might start to object." Su Xing knew that even though Jin Congxue was the young lady of the Jin Merchant Guild, such a large business couldn''t possibly be dictated by just one personthere were bound to be those who opposed. After thinking for a moment, Su Xing said, "Try to buy the white equipment at the lowest possible price. If you really can''t find any, it''s okay to pay a bit more, but we need at least two hundred thousand pieces of white equipment a week, three hundred thousand would be even better." Su Xing estimated that two hundred thousand white-quality equipment pieces could be obtained for about two billion Great Xia Coins. But for three hundred thousand pieces, it was hard to say. Perhaps it would take as much as 3.5 billion Great Xia Coins to purchase such a quantity. Although Jin Congxue was somewhat surprised by Su Xing''s request for so much equipment, she nodded and said, "Alright! I''ll try my best to gather up to three hundred thousand white equipment pieces... The Tarot Society is gradually developing now, so I will first inject the remaining four billion funds into the trade association every week." After hearing this, Su Xing nodded his head and agreed with Jin Congxue''s plan. Jin Congxue also handed Su Xing a storage ring, saying, "It''s urgent this week, and I''ve only managed to gather a hundred and fifty thousand white-quality equipment pieces. You can take them to ''eat'' for now! We wouldn''t want the child to starve!" Jin Congxue deliberately emphasized the word "eat," sounding quite playful. Su Xing took the storage ring with an embarrassed smile and said, "Cough cough, I''ve been eating so much equipment lately that my teeth are not doing so well. I was hoping to improve my diet... Would the young lady be willing to go out to dinner with me again?" Jin Congxue chuckled at this, extending her slender, fair right hand and said, "Alright then, I''ll just have to give you the pleasure of my company!" After a meal together, which led to intimate moments, their relationship took a step further. The next day, Su Xing returned to his dormitory refreshed and, when nobody was around, he entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance. Su Xing first converted all two hundred thousand pieces of white-quality equipment into energy points, which brought him close to 1.1 million points of energy. Together with the leftover 800,000 energy points, Su Xing''s energy had reached an astonishing 1.9 million points. With ample energy, Su Xing didn''t hesitate to choose his reward. "I choose to exchange for a blue-talent wood-fire dual-system True Spiritual Root, and the Golden Core Stage Great Perfection cultivation level!" As Su Xing''s words fell, he heard the simulator''s notification sound by his ear. [Ding, you have chosen to take out a blue-talent wood-fire dual-system True Spiritual Root, costing 100,000 energy points, leaving a balance of 1,804,396 energy points.] [Ding, you have chosen to take out the Golden Core Stage Great Perfection cultivation level, costing 1 million energy points, leaving a balance of 804,396 energy points.] As Su Xing finished speaking, a mysterious energy enveloped him. The first change was in the Spiritual Root talent, evolving from a dual-system Pseudo Spirit Root to a dual-system True Spiritual Root. Su Xing felt his senses becoming sharper and could even feel himself involuntarily absorbing the spiritual energy that permeated the air. "Truly a blue-quality True Spiritual Root!" Su Xing exclaimed, then his expression shifted slightly as the aura of his cultivation level began to surge. (I''ve been busy moving homes recently, so the update schedule has been unstable. I''m now adjusting to one chapter at midnight and another at 6 p.m. every daywoowoo~ Also, as a new author, I''m begging for monthly tickets and recommendation voteslet me feel your enthusiasm~) Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Born with a Face like Pan An, Golden Core Formation upon First Revolution! Su Xing promptly sat cross-legged and looked inward with his mind''s eye.The first change occurred within the Golden Core in Su Xing''s dantian! The originally pale gold color of the Golden Core deepened rapidly, solidifying into a dazzling gold within mere tens of seconds, before finally becoming restrained, returning to its purest form. In just tens of seconds, Su Xing''s Golden Core evolved from a mid-grade to a top-grade Golden Core. Su Xing sensed it briefly and felt that not only had his spiritual power become more profound, but his manipulation of it had also become much more skillful. But this was just the beginning. Following the improvement in Golden Core quality, Su Xing''s cultivation level began to surge. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Golden Core Stage first layer... Golden Core Stage second layer... Golden Core Stage fifth layer... eighth layer... ninth layer! In just a few minutes, Su Xing''s cultivation level soared dramatically, and the entire process was as gentle as water, without any pain. In the end, Su Xing''s cultivation level skyrocketed to Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage! Feeling the surge of spiritual power within him, Su Xing showed a sincere smile on his face. "Finally, Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage!" Su Xing carefully perceived the spiritual power within his body. If previously, at the first layer of the Golden Core Stage, Su Xing''s spiritual power was like a small stream, now this stream had expanded several times over, and correspondingly, his spiritual power cultivation had also increased several-fold. This was not just a result of reaching Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage, but also due to the improvement in the quality of Su Xing''s Golden Core. A Golden Core Stage cultivator is on the third layer of the cultivators'' realm, which should correspond with the third tier of professional Gold-level professionals. But, with dual cultivation in Qi Refinement and Body Refinement, coupled with the improvement in Golden Core quality, Su Xing could probably defeat even late Master Level professionals. "Top-grade Golden Core, truly profound... Next, I must find a way to condense a Nine Revolution Golden Core!" Having tasted the sweetness of a top-grade Golden Core, Su Xing now set his sights on the Nine Revolution Golden Core. If Su Xing succeeded in condensing a Nine Revolution Golden Core, he might be able to compete with Peak Master Level and even Grandmaster Level professionals. Su Xing turned his gaze to his professional panel. [Name: Su Xing] [Age: 21] [Profession: Cultivator (Unique Hidden Profession)] [Cultivation Level: Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage, Organ Refining Realm ninth layer] [Cultivation Technique: Changchun Technique, Condensing Pill Secret Technique] [Talents: Wood-Fire Dual True Spiritual Root, Eyes Open in Death, Innate Divine Strength, Fortune Flows, Instant Inspiration, Unyielding, Beast Speech Level Ten...] [Skills: Fire of Separation (Entry Level), Alchemy (Entry Level), Spirit Explosion Technique (Uninitiated), Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Uninitiated)] [Equipment: Greenblood Sword (Green), Thorns Chainmail (Green), Cloud Ascend Boots (Green)] There were not many changes on the professional panel. Su Xing''s Qi Refining Cultivation had been upgraded to Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage, and his talents had been refreshed. Su Xing now had as many as seven talents. Besides, after this period of effort, Su Xing had begun to grasp the basics of the Condensing Pill Secret Technique and the uninitiated-level Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique. Su Xing looked at the equipment section at the bottom and muttered to himself: "With my current wealth, I can completely upgrade my equipment. Green-grade equipment provides almost negligible enhancement to my strength." Su Xing had always been on campus, where he never met any real danger in the ordinary world, so he wasn''t in a hurry to change his equipment. But now that Su Xing had quite a bit of money, replacing his equipment wouldn''t cost much, so he decided to find some time to buy a few suitable pieces. After his cultivation level improved, Su Xing did not choose to be lazy but instead, became even more diligent, continuing to refine elixirs. Su Xing was surprised to find that after his cultivation improved, his control over spiritual power became more exquisite, and even the time it took to refine elixirs was reduced by nearly one-tenth. "I originally thought that my refining speed had reached its limit before, but I didn''t expect it to further increase after improving my cultivation level. This is indeed a pleasant surprise..." For Su Xing at present, the speed of elixir refining undoubtedly determined the speed at which he obtained energy. Faster refining speeds meant acquiring more energy. In the tedious work of elixir refining, another day passed. January 28th of the New Era 2024, deep in winter, that afternoon, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land and began the twenty-first simulation on time. "Begin simulation!" [This time it cost 2100 energy points, remaining energy points are 802,296, and there are no remaining simulation attempts.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, would you like to draw one?] "Draw a blue-quality talent!" Excited, Su Xing rubbed his hands together, hoping to draw another powerful blue talent. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the blue talent, "Beauty Rivaling Pan An".] [Beauty Rivaling Pan An]: You are a rare beauty not seen in a thousand years. Not only will members of the opposite sex be fond of your appearance, but even the same sex will be captivated by your looks. "Well, well, another talent that enhances attractiveness. It seems to be an upgraded version of ''Face Like Edison Chen''... But, is Pan An really more handsome than Brother Edison Chen who was an unmatched beauty in his time?" Blinking, Su Xing began the simulation. [Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You take out a mirror to look at your own face, but don''t notice much change in your appearance, perhaps because you are already handsome enough.] [In the first year, you refined some low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills and started trying out the method for the Nine Revolution Golden Core cultivation.] [Because you possess the Condensing Pill Technique, you avoid many detours. You know that continuously refining the Golden Core and compressing the spiritual power in your body will gradually form the Nine Revolution Golden Core.] [You spend a fixed four hours each day to refine your Golden Core and another four hours to hone your alchemy skills.] [Half a year passes in this routine, and one day, Wang Qingxuan finds you.] [You had been waiting for this day for a long time. After one proficient night, you and Wang Qingxuan decide to join the Descending Sect.] [In the second year, eager to obtain elixirs to improve your cultivation level quickly, you begin to reveal your alchemy talents three months after joining the Descending Sect.] [One day, both Shadow Protector and Protector Zong come to you, each inviting you to join their respective factions.] [Without hesitation, you choose to join Shadow Protector''s side and curse Damned Zong a million times in your heart.] [You tell Shadow Protector that you can refine both Wound Healing Pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills. Hearing this, she is overjoyed, and you take the opportunity to ask for a large number of spiritual medicines.] [Shadow Protector gives you one hundred Essence-Nourishing Herbs and one hundred Mind-Nourishing Herbs each month, and in return, you only need to provide her with one hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills and three hundred Wound Healing Pills, making a tenfold profit as a middleman.] [In the third year, day after day, you compress spiritual power and refine your Golden Core, making it increasingly outstanding.] [One day, a profound pattern congeals on your Golden Core. Overjoyed, you finally form a first revolution Golden Core after persistent effort.] Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Engraving of Pill Patterns, The Secret of the Nine Revolution Golden Core! Su Xing felt joy in his heart upon seeing this.According to the descriptions in the art of condensing cores, the Nine Revolution Golden Core was divided into nine rotations. With each additional rotation, one more line would appear on the Golden Core in the Dantian, and the potential upper limit of the Spiritual Power would increase by ten percent over the previous state. Finally, when all nine lines were inscribed simultaneously, the Nine Revolution Golden Core would be complete, and the bearer''s Spiritual Power would be more than double that of a superior cultivator at the Golden Core Stage! Su Xing beheld his simulated self finally achieving the first revolution Golden Core and couldn''t help but sigh, "The cultivation of the Nine Revolution Golden Core is indeed not easy! Even with my True Spiritual Root talent and possession of the secret art of core condensation, it still took nearly three years just to form one line." Su Xing sighed lightly with relief; fortunately, in the simulation he had abundant resources, otherwise, who knows how long it would take to condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core. Su Xing continued the simulation. [You carefully perceive the mysteries of the first revolution Golden Core, those ancient and mysterious patterns on the core, as captivating as the most exquisite design, draw in your mind and spirit.] [You attempt to circulate the Spiritual Power within your body, only to be surprised to find that your Cultivation Level has actually fallen a realm, from the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage back to the ninth layer, yet the total amount of your Spiritual Power remains unchanged.] [A thought strikes you, an enlightenment that perhaps the so-called Nine Revolution Golden Core is a secret method to enhance the quality of Spiritual Energy and compress Cultivation Level, a method where the realm falls but your strength does not weaken; and if you were to cultivate back to the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage, wouldn''t your power increase significantly?] [Thus, you consume Essence-Nourishing Pills daily and begin to raise your Cultivation Level.] [That same year, thanks to your contributions in alchemy each month, you were promoted by the Shadow Protector to become the eighteenth Elder of the Descending Sect, codenamed Elder Medicine.] S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After becoming an Elder, you have more time to enhance your Cultivation Level and inscribe your Nine Revolution Golden Core, which greatly speeds up the process of cultivating the Nine Revolution Golden Core.] [In the fourth year, your Cultivation Level returns to the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage, and you feel your Spiritual Power and Cultivation have strengthened by about ten percent compared to what it was when you had a superior Golden Core, proving your theory.] [Every day, you spend four hours inscribing patterns on your Golden Core, and refining the Spiritual Power within your body.] [In the fifth year, you continue to refine your inner Spiritual Power and inscribe lines on the Golden Core, and with the experience you''ve gained in cultivating the Nine Revolution Golden Core, you''re much faster than before.] [By the sixth year, a second line is engraved on your Golden Core, and you achieve the second revolution Golden Core; concurrently, your Cultivation Level falls again to the ninth layer of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the seventh year, it takes one year for your Cultivation Level to return to the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage.] Su Xing sighed slightly upon seeing this, "So it is. To increase the capacity and quality of Spiritual Power, dropping a realm in Cultivation Level, then recultivating back to the realm, and repeating this nine times, is that what the Nine Revolution Golden Core is?" Su Xing finally understood why the cultivation of the Nine Revolution Golden Core was so difficult and time-consuming. Each inscription of a pattern and each recultivation after dispersing one''s progress required a great deal of time and effort. "With my True Spiritual Root talent, I cultivate about thirty times faster than an average Cultivator, and even I need a year to recultivate from the ninth layer to the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage, then wouldn''t an average cultivator need thirty years?" "In this repeated cycle, just recultivating the Cultivation Level, an average cultivator would spend close to three hundred years... plus the time needed to inscribe the patterns on the Golden Core, it could be nearly four hundred years, and yet, the lifespan of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator is only three hundred years!" Su Xing shook his head slightly, murmuring, "Looking at it this way, at the very least, one must have a Dual-type Spiritual Root to qualify for condensing a Nine Revolution Golden Core, as the cultivation speed of a Pseudo Spirit Root of dual types is seven to eight times that of a Mixed Spirit Root of the Five Elements" ``` "But even so, with the time it takes to engrave the patterns, it will still take a dual-type Pseudo Spirit Root Cultivator nearly a hundred years to refine a Nine Revolution Golden Core." "By that time, even Golden Core Cultivators will have aged significantly, possibly losing the potential for further advancement in Cultivation Level, thus making it a loss rather than a gain..." Pausing, Su Xing pondered aloud. "Therefore, only True Spiritual Root Cultivators may attempt to refine the Nine Revolution Golden Core, where each upgrade of the Golden Core increases its potential by ten percent. In the presence of ample Spiritual Medicine, it takes three to five years to engrave one pattern, and refining a Nine Revolution Golden Core also takes more than thirty years..." With just a brief calculation, Su Xing knew the difficulties of refining the Nine Revolution Golden Core and the great cost involved. If it weren''t for Su Xing''s future simulator, with thirty years for him being merely two to three weeks of simulation, he probably wouldn''t have easily attempted to refine the Nine Revolution Golden Core. "However, the greater the cost, the greater the yield! Once a Nine Revolution Golden Core Cultivator succeeds, their true combat power will absolutely rival that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and being one step ahead means being ahead at every step. The Nine Revolution Golden Core is the true broad path of the Great Dao!" Su Xing calmed his slightly excited emotions, then continued the simulation. [In the eighth year, you continue to engrave patterns on the Golden Core, preparing to refine the third streak of Dan pattern.] [In the ninth year, you successfully refine the third streak of Dan pattern, achieving a Three-Turn Golden Core, causing your Cultivation Level to fall back to the ninth layer of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the tenth year, you toil for one year, and your Cultivation Level returns to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the eleventh year, you begin to attempt the fourth turn of the Golden Core while seeking ways to enhance the strength of the Human Race to maintain longer Cultivation periods.] [Within one year, you send Wang Qingxuan several times to the Sect''s treasury, and with all the contribution points you have accumulated over the years, you exchange for thousands of stalks of Yellow Immortal Essence.] [Aside from Cultivation, you set aside four hours each day to refine Organ Refining Pills, and within one year, you have produced tens of thousands of them.] [As you had planned in advance, you did not reveal the existence of Organ Refining Pill in this simulation, so when the Organ Refining Pill first appears before people, it is unlikely that anyone would associate it with you.] [In the twelfth year, to be safe, you take a Disguise Pill and a Concealment Pill, changing your appearance and aura. Then, you locate Lu Yuanwu on your own, hand over the nearly thirty thousand Organ Refining Pills you have refined over the year, informing him of the method of consumption, and instructing him to claim they were produced by an Alchemist within the military.] [After all is done, you silently return to the Descending Sect base, worrying whether the upper echelons within the Sect will discover your betrayal.] [Fortunately, your fears are misplaced, the Sect continues as normal, and no one uncovers your betrayal.] [The same year, you refine the fourth turn of the Nine Revolution Golden Core, causing your Cultivation Level to fall back to the ninth layer of the Golden Core Stage.] Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief seeing this, recognizing that it was too rash to provide the Essence-Nourishing Pill directly to the Great Xia Military in the previous simulation as it made discovery all too easy. Therefore, in this simulation, Su Xing changed his approach, introducing the never-before-seen Organ Refining Pill, which the Descending Sect wouldn''t easily suspect and even if they did, they would lack solid evidence. Su Xing continued to read on. [In the thirteenth year, your Cultivation Level is once again raised to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage.] [One day, the Shadow Protector approaches you unexpectedly, without prior notice. You are alone in your house, forgetting to wear your mask, and the Shadow Protector sees your face.] [Seeing your strikingly handsome appearance, the Shadow Protector is evidently stunned, and you notice she seems somewhat shy.] ``` Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Achieved the Fifth-Rank Golden Core, Handsomeness Comes With Its Troubles [The Shadow Protector hesitated for a moment before taking out an Organ Refining Pill and asking if you knew anything about this type of elixir.][You recognized at a glance that the Organ Refining Pill was concocted by you, but others were not aware, so you shook your head and said that you did not make this pill.] [You took the pill and closely observed it for a moment, shamelessly praising the pill maker''s skills as far superior to yours and claiming ignorance of such an elixir.] [Since you had been providing the Descending Sect with substandard elixirs for over a decade, the Shadow Protector also noticed that the skill involved in making this pill far exceeded yours, so she did not suspect anything.] [Pretending to be puzzled, you inquired about the origin of the pill. The Shadow Protector told you that it came from a mysterious alchemist within the Great Xia Military and informed you that some in the Sect suspected that you had concocted the pill.] [With a bitter smile, you expressed that you couldn''t possibly create an elixir of such high quality. The Shadow Protector nodded, believing you, and assured you that she would protect your safety, breaking the others'' suspicions.] [A few days later, the Shadow Protector and several other protectors approached you, asking if you could make this kind of Organ Refining Pill.] [You explained that you were not familiar with the pill''s ingredients and would need a great deal of trial and error to decipher its components.] [The upper echelons of the Descending Sect believed you and gave you six months specifically to develop this type of elixir.] [For the next half a year, you pretended to study the Organ Refining Pill every day but discreetly slacked off, using the saved time to improve the quality of your Golden Core.] [By the fourteenth year, you still had not succeeded in making the Organ Refining Pill and intentionally created several pills with conflicting medicinal properties, upsetting the stomachs of many elders in the Sect and even causing the death of numerous followers.] [The Descending Sect gave up on making you produce the Organ Refining Pill and instructed you to focus on crafting the Essence-Nourishing Pill instead. You nodded in agreement.] [You took a day to close your eyes and produce a batch of flawed Essence-Nourishing Pills, which would be your assignment to submit to the Descending Sect for the next three monthsa practice you had been doing for over ten years.] [By the fifteenth year, you successfully cultivated a five-turn Golden Core, and your cultivation level consequently fell to the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage.] [New Era April 7, 2038, a sky-darkening beast descended upon the real world and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp.] [You died, and with ''Talent of the Unyielding'', you activated and saw only darkness...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] Su Xing noted the time of the apocalypse''s arrival. "April 7, 2038... It''s been delayed by another year compared to the previous one. Indeed, as long as it benefits the overall strength of the Human Race, I can definitely extend the time I have to cultivate." "The extension might be short right now, only a few months, but in the future, as I grow stronger, it could extend by a year or even several years." Su Xing''s lips curled slightly upward, as the two simulations basically allowed Su Xing to grasp the routine for delaying the apocalypse. Now it was time to collect the simulation rewards. Su Xing shifted his gaze to the reward options. [Peerless Beauty]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points. [Five-Turn Golden Core Quality]: Five-turn Golden Core; the quality and cap of spiritual power within the body exceeds that of a top-quality Golden Core cultivator by seventy percent, priced at 500,000 energy points. [Fourteen Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insight, priced at 140,000 energy points. The simulation rewards available for selection this time were only three, as Su Xing had devoted most of his time to cultivating the Nine Revolution Golden Core and making elixirs. After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing silently contemplated: "I choose the Five-Turn Golden Core Quality, and the blue talent, Peerless Beauty!" The Five-Turn Golden Core Quality was a must-have option without question. As for Peerless Beauty, Su Xing argued that while alchemy experience could be obtained once a week, being handsome is a matter for a lifetime!!! [Ding, you have chosen to take the Blue Talent Peerless Beauty, spending 100,000 energy points, with 692,296 energy points remaining.] [Ding, you have chosen to take the Five-Turn Golden Core, spending 500,000 energy points, with 192,296 energy points remaining.] A prompt sounded in Su Xing''s mind, and at the same time, a profound change occurred on his body. Su Xing sat cross-legged, examining the Golden Core inside his Dantian. He saw that the originally perfect Golden Core gradually developed mysterious patterns that appeared out of nowhere, filled with a primitive and mystical aura. One pattern... Two patterns... Five patterns! When the five patterns were completely restored, the Golden Core within Su Xing''s body once again emitted a dazzling light. At the same time, the Spiritual Energy within Su Xing''s body began to surge, increasing by more than seventy percent in quality and quantity within mere tens of seconds. And to Su Xing''s delight, his Cultivation Level had not fallen by a realm, it was still at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage! "So what was brought out of the simulator was only the quality of the Golden Core, not the Cultivation Level... That''s good too, this way I can save a year''s worth of cultivation time in the next simulation." With a smile on his face, Su Xing considered this a nice surprise, neither too big nor too small. After forming the Nine Revolution Golden Core, Su Xing distinctly felt that the Spiritual Energy within him was more abundant, and he could manipulate it better than before. After carefully comprehending the changes in his Cultivation Level, Su Xing took out a mirror and checked his handsome face. sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After observing for a while, Su Xing murmured, "No changes, huh... Has my appearance truly reached the peak for a mortal?" Su Xing shamelessly thought. But in fact, looking as handsome as Pan An is not a talent that changes one''s appearance, but a conceptual talent that changes people''s perception! For example, if a person''s original appearance score was sixty, after awakening this talent, their appearance wouldn''t change, but in other people''s eyes, they would now be a peerless great beauty with a score of ninety-nine! As for Su Xing, his appearance was already scored at ninety, plus the temperament of a Cultivator, the added layers of the talent for looking as handsome as Pan An, it would not be doubt if he claimed to be the most handsome in history and debuted on the spot. After receiving the rewards, Su Xing did not slack off and started refining elixirs as the days went by. In the blink of an eye, four days passed. Su Xing refined for four days and successfully produced three hundred Nourishing Face Pills and five hundred Wound Healing Pills that were needed for the next week. That day, a woman contacted Su Xing, not Jin Congxue, but his junior Wang Qingxuan. Wang Qingxuan sent Su Xing a message and then asked him to meet in the small grove at the school. "Could it be, the Descending Sect is about to appear?" Su Xing was puzzled, but there was still more than half a year before the Descending Sect should approach Wang Qingxuan, so it should not happen this early. Just to be safe, Su Xing still went to the grove to meet Wang Qingxuan. The ordinarily plain Wang Qingxuan had changed her usual style, wearing delicate makeup and her beautiful long hair draped over her shoulders, the whole person looked pure and captivating. Su Xing approached Wang Qingxuan, handed her a cup of steaming milk tea, and said with a sunny smile, "What''s the matter, junior sister, why did you want to see me?" Wang Qingxuan had kept her head down all the time, finally mustering up the courage to say something. But when she looked up and saw Su Xing, she became even more shy. "How come the senior brother looks even more handsome after a few days... uh, I''m simply not worthy of senior brother! A plain girl like me is already lucky enough to be by senior brother''s side..." Wang Qingxuan thought to herself, swallowing the words she had gathered the courage to say. Su Xing did not notice Wang Qingxuan''s subtlety and asked with curiosity, "If there''s anything you need to say, just say it. If I can help, I definitely won''t hold back!" Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Blue Talent, Prosperous Commerce Wang Qingxuan had a good relationship with him and was considered one of the few "friends" Su Xing had at school.At the same time, Wang Qingxuan''s role in future simulations was not to be overlooked. Now, Su Xing assumed Wang Qingxuan had run into some kind of trouble, so he wanted to lend a hand. But he didn''t expect that after hearing what Su Xing said, Wang Qingxuan became even more ashamed, thinking to herself, "Senior is so good-looking, and he''s so enthusiastic about helping me, and yet I''m asking for more, truly shameless... What''s more, Senior is also, so, so good-looking!!!" After hesitating for a while, Wang Qingxuan mustered the courage to say, "Senior, if you''re willing, I can be Little!" "What??" Su Xing was stunned by Wang Qingxuan''s sudden remark and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by being Little?" With her cheeks slightly flushed, Wang Qingxuan stammered, "Senior, I saw it... Last time you met a very beautiful older sister outside the school, by chance, I saw it... Senior, don''t worry, I''m not asking for much, just to be by your side is enough..." Su Xing: "..." With Wang Qingxuan''s explanation, Su Xing finally understood what she was here for. Afterward, Su Xing took the time to give Wang Qingxuan some moral guidance, telling her that this was not a good approach. For a naive girl on the verge of falling into the Abyss, Su Xing''s main approach was spiritual salvation! But what Su Xing didn''t know was that this talk only made Wang Qingxuan more attracted to him. Before long, another three days had passed. Su Xing met with Jin Congxue and handed over the elixirs he had prepared in advance. Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. To Su Xing''s surprise, Jin Congxue managed to collect as many as 320,000 pieces of white-quality equipment within a week, which was much more than Su Xing expected. Su Xing skillfully converted the equipment into energy. The 320,000 pieces of white equipment provided Su Xing with a total of 1.85 million simulation energy points. Adding up the nearly two hundred thousand points left over previously, Su Xing''s simulation energy reserve exceeded two million points for the first time. "With energy in hand, I feel at ease!" A slight smile appeared on Su Xing''s lips. On the afternoon of February 4, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land and started his twenty-second simulation. "Start the simulation!" [Ding! This simulation costs 2,200 energy points, leaving a balance of 2,056,666 points, with unlimited remaining simulation times.] [Simulation starts!] [Extracting a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, and a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, do you want to extract?] "Extract a blue-quality talent!" [Ding, congratulations on gaining the blue talent, Prosperous Commerce!] [Business Prosperity]: A blue talent, you possess considerable talent in business along with exceptional commercial acumen. When doing business, you often become very wealthy and rarely encounter setbacks. When Su Xing saw the newly drawn talent, his eyes lit up. He had previously drawn a white talent called "Business Elite" that could help him with his business dealings. But the "Business Prosperity" talent before him was clearly an advanced version of that talent. "''Business Prosperity'' talent, huh? That''s really not bad... Maybe it could help the Tarot Commerce Association develop even faster?" Su Xing decided to observe the use of this talent in the simulation. [Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You begin to concoct elixirs, preparing the elixirs needed by the Tarot Society for the upcoming period.] [One week later, you deliver the pre-prepared elixirs to Jin Congxue, only to unexpectedly learn of the news that the Lingyun Commerce Guild in Kyoto is selling off some of its properties. Jin Congxue tells you these properties include potions, equipment, and skill scrolls. If you could acquire all the properties of Lingyun Commerce Guild, it would usher in an era of rapid expansion for the Tarot Society.] [You understand in your heart that this may be the "Business Prosperity" talent taking effect, so you ask Jin Congxue how much capital would be necessary to acquire these properties.] [Jin Congxue says it would require at least two hundred billion in funds to confidently acquire them. You express that this is too expensive and cannot raise such an amount in a short time.] [Jin Congxue thinks for a moment, then says she is willing to guarantee on behalf of the Jin Merchant Guild. You can first acquire the equipment commerce properties, with the rest to be paid in installments, but this would still require raising nearly fifty billion in funds within one month.] [You agree to the terms, and in the following month, you work day and night concocting elixirs, finally gathering enough funds to successfully acquire part of the properties of Lingyun Commerce Guild.] [Several months later, the Tarot Society acquired all the properties of Lingyun Commerce Guild. In just a few months, the size of the Tarot Commerce Association increased tenfold, becoming the leading commerce guild in Kyoto.] Su Xing widened his eyes in disbelief and muttered, "''Business Prosperity,'' is the effect really so powerful? The size has increased tenfold in just a few months; such an expansion would normally take years to achieve, right?" "It looks like the ''Business Prosperity'' talent is a must-choose option!" Su Xing pondered continuously in his heart. The "Business Prosperity" talent might not be of much use in the simulation, but in the real world, it was definitely of great impact on the development of the Tarot Society. The faster the Tarot Society developed, the more energy Su Xing could harvest! Accordingly, Su Xing''s strength would also grow faster! Having made up his mind, Su Xing took a deep breath and continued simulating. [With the expansion of the Tarot Society''s scale, each month it could easily produce hundreds of thousands of pieces of white-quality equipment. The only pity is that in the simulator, you no longer need this equipment to supply energy.] [You know staying with the Tarot Society doesn''t help increase your strength, so you start to quietly wait for the opportunity to join the Descending Sect.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan finds you. She tells you she wants to join a mysterious organization, and after a transformative night, you and she join the Descending Sect together.] [In the first three months of joining the Descending Sect, you maintain a cautious style until an opportunity arises. You show your elixir-concocting skills, and you are noticed by the Shadow Protector.] [The Shadow Protector promises that as long as you complete the monthly tasks, you will definitely be able to become an elder-level figure within a year.] [You receive a lot of ingredients for concocting elixirs from the Shadow Protector, and you concoct a great number of Essence-Nourishing Pills and spirit-nourishing pills.] [With a sufficient supply of elixirs, you invest most of your time into cultivation, aiming to refine a Nine Revolution Golden Core!] [The second year, you inscribe another pattern on your Golden Core, successfully condensing a six-revolution Golden Core and falling back to the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage.] [You are unmoved internally, prepared to re-cultivate your realm back.] [While immersed in arduous cultivation, the Shadow Protector finds you and requests you concoct a batch of elixirs for her alone, emphasizing that you shouldn''t tell anyone about this request.] Chapter 69: Chapter 69: The Mysterious Shadow Protector, Traitor Exposed? ```Su Xing hesitated for a moment when he saw this. Why would the Shadow Protector suddenly seek him out? This didn''t seem to have happened in the previous simulations, did it? "Is it because I did something to change the trajectory of the future?" Su Xing was completely baffled and continued to simulate. [Meanwhile, the Shadow Protector directly disclosed some of your information, she explicitly mentioned that you have a certain relationship with the Tarot Society, because a batch of Wound Healing Pills emerged from the Tarot Society one or two years ago.] [But she also stated that she is not interested in your true identityshe just wants you to help her refine a batch of Essence-Nourishing Pills and to keep it a secret.] [You asked the Shadow Protector how many Essence-Nourishing Pills she needed, and she said she required five thousand.] [You were surprisedthe quantity of five thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills was no small number. There must be some big secret behind the Shadow Protector for her to need so many Essence-Nourishing Pills.] [For the sake of caution, you claimed that you could only refine so many Essence-Nourishing Pills per month and had no more time for additional alchemy.] [The Shadow Protector saw through your childish lie and implied that your compensation would not be small; she would provide you with double the herbal materials every month and asked you to refine an additional batch of Essence-Nourishing Pills for her.] [You became even more certain that there were secrets behind the Shadow Protector, so you took the opportunity to make a demandin addition to the previous materials, you also wanted her to supply you with a batch of Yellow Immortal Essence every month.] [The Shadow Protector agreed to your request and then left.] [In the third year, you took one week out of every month to refine elixirs. Beyond producing the required quantity of Essence-Nourishing Pills, you began to refine Organ Refining Pills and started to stockpile them for the future.] [Apart from alchemy, you diligently worked on enhancing your Cultivation Level every day, and you managed to re-cultivate back to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the fourth year, you continued your efforts in inscribing the seventh elixir pattern, and although you completed the five thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills as requested by the Shadow Protector, she did not stop there. Instead, she requested that you provide her with ten thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills over the next few years.] [You accepted the Shadow Protector''s request because the more she asked for, the more herbal materials you would receive, allowing you to accumulate more elixirs.] [In the fifth year, you successfully inscribed the seventh elixir pattern, while your Cultivation Level dropped to the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the sixth year, you re-trained to reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage once again.] [In the seventh year, you began inscribing the eighth elixir pattern, but you also discovered that from the seventh pattern onwards, the difficulty of inscription had significantly increased. Fortunately, with the talent of a True Spiritual Root, this level of difficulty was not an obstacle for you.] [In the eighth year, you continued inscribing the elixir patterns while also completing the additional task given by the Shadow Protector: refining ten thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills.] [You had thought the Shadow Protector would have you continue refining the next batch of pills, but discovered she did not make such a request. She seemed preoccupied, more silent and reserved than before, as if a burden had been lifted from her.] [You boldly inquired why the Shadow Protector needed those pills. The Shadow Protector looked at you deeply and warned you not to meddle in affairs that didn''t concern you. These matters were not for you to know, or she would make you disappear from this world.] Su Xing frowned deeply upon seeing this. "Indeed, the Shadow Protector''s behavior in this simulation is entirely different from before... but why has this change occurred?" After thinking carefully, Su Xing realized that the biggest change he made in this simulation was expanding the influence of the Tarot Society by tenfold compared to before! And to expand the Tarot Society''s influence, he refined and sold a large number of elixirs, including Wound Healing Pills! ``` ``` It was precisely because of this that the Shadow Protector vaguely guessed her connection with the Tarot Society, of course, the Shadow Protector probably didn''t know her true identity as Su Xing. "Wait... Maybe she already guessed?" Su Xing suddenly realized that he had joined the Descending Sect with Wang Qingxuan, and coupled with his certain contact with the Tarot Society, others might not know his identity, but the Shadow Protector might have already figured it all out. Su Xing frowned slightly and murmured to himself: "Luckily, it was only in the simulation that my identity was guessedit''s not a big deal... But did the Shadow Protector do all this because she knew my identity?" But after knowing his identity, why would she make a different choice from the previous simulations? Su Xing followed this train of thought. "Perhaps, it is because she did not fully trust me before, and when she knew my identity, she lost some kind of concern?" Su Xing shook his head slightly, ready to slowly uncover the secrets of the Shadow Protector in subsequent simulations. Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the ninth year, you successfully engraved the eighth elixir pattern, while your cultivation level fell to the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the tenth year, you diligently cultivated for one year, and your cultivation level returned to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage.] [In the eleventh year, you began carving the last elixir pattern. The difficulty of the ninth elixir pattern was beyond your imagination, but you had plenty of time to complete the carving of this pattern.] [In the twelfth year, you still failed to engrave the ninth elixir pattern. According to your estimate, it would take at least two to three more years to complete.] [During these years, the Shadow Protector did not ask you to concoct any additional elixirs; she seemed to have become withdrawn, merging with the Shadow Beast more and more obsessively, to the point where you even noticed that her right hand had completely turned into the black of the Shadow Beast.] [In the same year, in order to extend the time of the simulation, you used some means to find Lu Yuanwu.] [You gave him all thirty thousand Organ Refining Pills you had accumulated over the years and instructed him to announce that they were made by internal alchemists of the Great Xia Military.] [You silently prayed that the Human Race would survive longer in this simulation, so you would have more time to simulate.] [At the same time, you also prepared enough Essence-Nourishing Pills and Wound Healing Pills, ready to make a getaway at any moment. After all, you had exposed quite a few things in front of the Shadow Protector during the simulation, and she might have already guessed that you were the one concocting the Organ Refining Pills. If she reported this to the Descending Sect, your betrayal would be impossible to hide.] [Fortunately, nothing happened this year.] [In the thirteenth year, you were still engrossed in carving the ninth elixir pattern, which required a lot of mental effort. If it weren''t for the many Wound Healing Pills you had consumed earlier, which made your mental power considerably higher than that of cultivators at the same level, you probably would have found it extremely difficult to carve.] [Luckily, you had made more than half progress with the carving, and if nothing unexpected occurred, you would be able to complete the engraving of the ninth elixir pattern during this simulation.] [As you were immersed in engraving the elixir patterns, one day, the upper echelons of the Descending Sect found your dwelling.] [A considerable number of high-ranking members of the Descending Sect came this time around, with as many as four protectors and more than ten Elders, including Shadow Protector and Protector Zong.] [Protector Zong had a ferocious smile on his face as he took out an Organ Refining Pill from his Storage Magical Artifact, declaring that you had concocted it, and that you were the traitor who had betrayed the Descending Sect!] ``` Chapter 70: Chapter 70 The World That Belongs to You Still Exists [You had anticipated this day''s arrival and noticed the Shadow Protector among the crowd behind, but you had no intention of giving in just like that. Your acting was impeccable, feigning total ignorance.][Protector Zong merely sneered at the words, claiming that only cultivators could concoct such elixirs, and you were one of the few cultivators in this world.] [Upon hearing Protector Zong''s words, the surrounding elders and protectors revealed unpleasant looks on their faces, secretly circling you as if they were worried you might flee.] [From the greedy look in Protector Zong''s eyes, you understood that he simply wanted to uncover the secret of your ability to cultivate and then refine you into elixirs.] [Of course, you would not comply with his wishes. You argued that there were certainly more cultivators in the world besides you, like the Protector Zong before you, or perhaps some in other copies... and that Protector Zong''s defamation of you was certainly for the purpose of refining you into elixirs to achieve his own ends!] [Upon hearing your explanation, the surrounding elders and protectors wore doubtful expressions, finding your words reasonable. After all, the matter of Protector Zong''s impending demise wasn''t exactly a secret among the upper echelons. Even when you had just joined the Descending Sect, Protector Zong had once requested you as a reward, his motive clear as day.] [But later, you proved your worth: an alchemist elder with infinite potential versus a protector whose life was ending, the value of the two to the Descending Sect wasn''t necessarily clear-cut.] [Seeing that the attitudes of the surrounding protectors and elders had somewhat softened, you struck while the iron was hot, suggesting that this was all mere speculation with no actual evidence.] [The group of elders nodded at this, having found you fairly likable over the years within the Descending Sect, often concocting virility pills for some elders; they were very willing to believe you.] [But the matter was of grave importance, and one of the protectors still turned their gaze to the Shadow Protector, inquiring whether she knew what you had really been up to these years.] [You appeared calm on the surface, yet your heart was already a bit tense, ready to flee into the Spirit Field Blessed Land at any moment.] [All the elders and protectors turned their eyes to the Shadow Protector, and your heart was suspended in anticipation.] [To your surprise, the Shadow Protector merely chuckled and shook her head, saying that over the years, you had consistently provided elixirs for the sect. Why should others harbor such malicious suspicions about you, she questioned as she compared the Organ Refining Pill with the Essence-Nourishing Pills you had made.] [She bluntly stated that the alchemist who made the Organ Refining Pills was far superior in skill to you, and encouraged the other elders and protectors to see for themselves.] [After each protector conducted their examination, they all nodded in agreement; while both were Spirit Pills, the disparity in the crafting method was like night and day, akin to the difference between a newly built rough-housing unit and a fully decorated apartment.] [But the elders were too polite to directly criticize your Essence-Nourishing Pills as substandard, merely conveying diplomatically that there was a gap in alchemy skills.] [In the end, after a council of elders and protectors, it was agreed that this matter had nothing to do with you.] [Only Damned Zong, that mad old dog, still sought to take a bite out of you, accusing both you and the Shadow Protector of being in cahoots, branding you both as traitors.] [The other protectors and elders looked at him as if he were a fool, as everyone knew of the Shadow Protector''s unwavering loyalty. The Shadow Protector even idolized the "Main Race," aspiring to transform herself into one of them; thus, no one believed Protector Zong''s claims.] [While in your heart, you heaved a sigh of relief, narrowly avoiding the truth being exposed by Damned Zong.] [At the same time, you cast a profound glance at the Shadow Protector. You were quite certain she knew that those elixirs were of your making, and her choice to help keep your secret at this crucial moment might not mean she was a definite traitor, but at least proved that the Shadow Protector''s loyalty to the Descending Sect wasn''t absolute!] [The group of elders and protectors left your dwelling, and just as the Shadow Protector turned to leave, she silently mouthed a message to you without making a sound.] "You learned lip reading for a while before, and what she said was: ''We are even now!'' Su Xing felt somewhat shocked when he saw this. ''Shadow Protector, also a traitor?'' But who could she be a spy for? The Great Xia Military?'' Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly, then shook his head. ''If she was a traitor from the Great Xia Military, then the fifteen thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills she asked me to make could definitely not be hidden, and my identity would definitely be discovered.'' ''But if she''s not a spy for the Great Xia Military, then whose spy could she be?'' Su Xing felt puzzled in his heart, but even more so, he felt relieved. ''Although I still do not know Shadow Protector''s true identity, at least I can be certain she is not absolutely loyal to the Descending Sect, which will definitely bring many benefits in my later simulations!'' ''If I can cooperate with Shadow Protector, we can definitely greatly delay the end of the world in the simulation...'' Su Xing''s thoughts kept churning. He could simulate and had countless opportunities to trial and error. Shadow Protector''s identity was definitely worth taking a risk for once. Su Xing had already made up his mind, took a deep breath, and then continued to simulate. "In the following period, you chose to keep a low profile, devoting most of your energy to cultivation aside from alchemy." "In the fourteenth year, after your unremitting efforts, you finally completed the carving of the ninth pill pattern." "The moment the Nine Revolution Golden Core was accomplished, you saw the Golden Core within your Dantian shine brightly, and you felt a sense of perfection and naturalness throughout your body. You felt as if it was always meant to be a Nine Revolution Golden Core, and below that, all other Golden Cores seemed imperfect!" "After the Nine Revolution Golden Core was refined, you knew your task was completed. The end of the world was not far off at that point, a matter of months or perhaps just over a year, before the Foreign Race would invade the real world." "And at this moment, you still had tens of thousands of Essence-Nourishing Pills accumulated over the years. You wanted to give all these elixirs to the Great Xia Military to see how much you could prolong the inevitable." "But before that, you decided to see Shadow Protector one more time." "One day, you came to Shadow Protector''s residence and saw her cultivating. Shadow Protector sensed your arrival in advance. She asked if you were ready to fully integrate with the main tribe." "You shook your head gently, then boldly voiced the doubts in your heart. You asked whether Shadow Protector was absolutely loyal to the Descending Sect." "Upon hearing this, Shadow Protector was silent for a long time. Then she took off the mask on her face. Her face was still exquisitely beautiful, but you also saw fish-scale-like black patches on the skin of her neck, a sign of deep integration with the Shadow Beast." Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Shadow Protector chuckled softly. She said it would have been better if you had offered the Organ Refining Pill to her earlier. If there had been more pills back then, perhaps everything would have been different." "Her gaze towards you carried a hint of envy, as she mentioned that at least you still had a home to return to, at the very least, your world still existed." Chapter 71: Chapter 71 The Apocalypse That Came Half a Year Late Su Xing''s heart surged with shock and disbelief as he read the message.The brief two sentences already contained far too much information. Shadow Protector initially required so many elixirs to accomplish a certain mission, which might be exactly the same as what Su Xing was currently undertaking. After all, if it were just for enhancing personal strength, there would be no need for over ten thousand elixirs! Only a large group in urgent need of improving their strength would require such an enormous amount of elixirs. From the tone of Shadow Protector, it was not hard to deduce that whatever he had intended to do had failed, and the reason for the failure was due to insufficient elixirs, or rather, inadequate strength... This sounded somewhat strange; after all, if the Shadow Protector merely needed that many elixirs, perhaps he was a spy from one of the Human Race''s major forces, but Su Xing had never heard of such a person. However, if this was linked with what Shadow Protector had said later, then everything began to make sense. "At least the world you belong to still exists." In just one sentence, astounding information was revealed. Could it be that Shadow Protector was not even from Blue Star? Indeed, within the Descending Sect, it seemed that many high-ranking followers originated from other replicas, or more precisely, from other worlds. Protector Zong, Dragon Protector, and now the Shadow Protector before him... Following this train of thought, perhaps Shadow Protector had wanted to obtain so many elixirs in order to save his own world? But in the end, he had still failed, which was why he regretted not using those elixirs sooner? Su Xing took a deep breath, his face flashing with a trace of excitement. If this was truly the case, then in the upcoming simulation, might he be able to recruit Shadow Protector into his camp and make him a reliable ally? "It''s worth a try! However, Shadow Protector''s world might have already been destroyed in this simulation, and this destruction probably took place in the eighth year of reality, around the new era of 2031. There''s still enough time!" Su Xing continued with the simulation. [After parting with Shadow Protector, the doubts in your heart have been resolved, so you went alone to the Great Xia Military, intending to support them with the remaining eighty thousand Organ Refining Pills.] [This time, you did not conceal your tracks, because you were prepared. Once you handed over the elixirs, you planned to return directly to Spirit Field Blessed Land and quietly await the end of the world.] [You got your wish and met with Lu Yuanwu, who looked exhausted, his right arm completely severed, showing signs that his injury had not yet healed.] [Despite being weary in body and mind, Lu Yuanwu still warmly received you and straightforwardly stated that the thirty thousand Organ Refining Pills you provided last time had been extremely useful, creating at least five thousand Grandmaster Level melee practitioners for the Human Race and significantly easing the difficulties on the frontline.] [You smiled and nodded, taking out a storage ring and indicating that it contained eighty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills, explaining their effects. Organ Refining Pills were suitable for physical melee practitioners to consume, enhancing their physique, while Essence-Nourishing Pills were suitable for magical practitioners, increasing their spiritual attributes.] Lu Yuanwu took the storage ring from your hand, and after a moment of silence, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He said if you had brought out these Essence-Nourishing Pills two years earlier, it would have been better. Now that the Demon-Subduing Pass has been breached, the last defense line of the Human Race has been destroyed in one fell swoop, and the destruction of the real world is only a matter of time. These elixirs could only delay the invasion of the Foreign Race into the real world. However, even so, Lu Yuanwu still expressed his gratitude to you, handing over a hero medal to you. This medal was meant to be given to you years ago, but as you had been out of contact all these years, Lu Yuanwu had kept it safe on your behalf. After bidding farewell to Lu Yuanwu, with no further ties left in the simulation, you quietly returned to your hometown, preparing for one last look at your parents. Your younger sister had died in battle years ago, but fortunately, the pension was enough for the old couple to live on. It''s just that your disappearance over these years had led to many more white hairs on their heads. You watched them from a distance, ready to go and see Jin Congxue and Yu Yan, but on the way to find Jin Congxue, your whereabouts had already been discovered by the Descending Sect, who learned about you providing the Essence-Nourishing Pills to the Great Xia Military. Damned Zong, along with seven or eight Elders, set out to besiege you. Knowing you were no match for them, you hid in the Spirit Field Blessed Land. In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you lived a secluded, leisurely life, cultivating for four hours a day and occasionally tending the land and raising chickens with the rest of your time. You had enough food supply, and the Essence-Nourishing Pills you had saved were enough for your cultivation. By the fifteenth year, you restored your Cultivation Level to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage, knowing that the destruction of the world was not far off. Thus, you attempted to see if you could break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Another half year passed, and you felt the spiritual power in your Dantian becoming more and more abundant, the spirit within the Nine Revolution Golden Core growing stronger, a sign that you were about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. You estimated that, at this rate, it might take you another two to three years to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. This was because of your exceptional talent and solid foundation, which made your progression into the Nascent Soul Realm dozens of times faster than that of an ordinary cultivator. Just then, the items in the Spirit Field Blessed Land began to collapse, and the space started to shatter. You understood that the world had been destroyed, your mission was complete, and so you waited for death peacefully. On September 1, 2038 of the New Era, you were torn to pieces by the spatial turbulence. You died! Ding, the simulation has ended! S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After the simulation ended, Su Xing slowly exhaled, scooped up a ladle of water from the Spirit Well and drank it down, his emotions gradually returning to calm. Without a doubt, Su Xing''s gains from this simulation were immense. First and foremost, he finally cultivated the Nine Revolution Golden Core, which was a solid step towards the Nascent Soul Stage. If Su Xing wished, he could completely keep the Cultivation Level of the Nascent Soul Stage in the next simulation. Secondly, through his own efforts, Su Xing had managed to delay the destruction of the real world by a full half a year this simulation! Originally, the destruction of the world in the simulator was supposed to be in March 2038, but now it had been delayed to September. This half a year''s time was clearly because Su Xing enabled the Human Race to have many more Grandmaster Level powerhouses. "The timing of providing elixirs in this simulation was still a bit late. If I had enabled the Human Race to have more Grandmaster Level powerhouses before the Demon-Subduing Pass fell, I could have greatly delayed the destruction of the real world!" "And the destruction of the Demon-Subduing Pass should happen around thirteen years from now, which is early 2037. If I provide elixirs to the Human Race before the fall of Demon-Subduing Pass and train powerful warriors, it might even be possible to hold the pass!" Su Xing narrowed his eyes, murmuring to himself. "Besides that, the biggest gain from this simulation is the information about Shadow Protector... I must find a way to turn Shadow Protector into an ally, which would make my actions in the simulation much easier!" Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Nine Revolution Golden Core is Complete, A Perfect Golden Core! "As long as I form an alliance with the Shadow Protector, I will provide her with elixirs, and in return, she will cover me and supply more herbs, which can greatly extend the simulation time!"Thinking of this, Su Xing''s heart pounded excitedly. The extension of simulation time meant that Su Xing could do more things, have more cultivation time, or have more time to refine elixirs! "The upcoming simulation needs careful planning, how can I gain the trust of the Shadow Protector?" "But before that, let''s first select the reward for this simulation!" Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulator''s reward options. [Prosperous Business Affinity]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points. [Nine Revolution Golden Core Quality]: The Nine Revolution Golden Core, a perfect quality Golden Core from the ancient cultivators, with no potential for further improvement. After achieving this Golden Core, the density of Spiritual Power in one''s body would be 2.5 times that of a high-grade Golden Core cultivator, 5 times that of a mid-grade Golden Core cultivator, and 10 times that of a low-grade Golden Core cultivator! Priced at 600,000 energy points. [Fifteen Years of Alchemy Experience]: Insight into alchemy, priced at 150,000 energy points. [Essence-Nourishing Pill x1000]: Elixirs that can assist cultivators in their cultivation, also slightly enhancing the quality of the cultivator''s Spiritual Power, priced at 10 million energy points. The simulation reward wasn''t hard to choose this time, the Nine Revolution Golden Core Quality was Su Xing''s target for this simulation, a must-have. And the Prosperous Business Affinity talent was crucial for Su Xing, as it could speed up the development of his Tarot Commerce Association, which meant Su Xing could obtain more simulation energy. Therefore, Su Xing said without hesitation: "I choose the blue talent, Prosperous Business Affinity, and the Nine Revolution Golden Core!" [Ding, you have chosen to take out the blue talent Prosperous Business Affinity, spending 100,000 energy points, remaining energy 1,946,666 points.] [Ding, you have chosen to take out the Nine Revolution Golden Core Quality, spending 600,000 energy points, remaining energy 1,346,666 points.] Two notifications sounded in Su Xing''s ears, and a mysterious aura appeared on him. Prosperous Business Affinity, considered a combination of business and luck talents, was intangible, but the moment the simulation reward was granted, Su Xing felt as if something had been added to him. As for the Nine Revolution Golden Core Quality, the enhancement for Su Xing was immediately visible. Su Xing''s aura surged slightly, and seeing this, he quickly sat down cross-legged and composed his mind. In his Dantian, a Golden Core with five Dan patterns began to shine brilliantly. An ancient pattern was slowly etched onto the Golden Core, like an invisible brush of the Great Dao tracing slowly. When the sixth Dan pattern was successfully drawn, Su Xing felt a significant increase in the density of the Spiritual Energy inside him. Then, the seventh and eighth Dan patterns were consecutively inscribed, and the eight Dan patterns in correspondence emitted an exceptional and mystical aura. Next, the invisible brush of the Great Dao began to inscribe the ninth Dan pattern! The moment the brushstroke was completed, Su Xing wondered if it was an illusion that the positions of the other Dan patterns seemed to have moved slightly lower, seemingly making room for the ninth Dan pattern! The brush moved vigorously, completing the process in one breath, and finally, the ninth Dan pattern slowly took shape. The moment all nine Dan patterns were formed, Su Xing distinctly felt an outpouring of spirituality from the Golden Core, and the nine Dan patterns became one, elevating the aura of the entire Golden Core significantly. A profound feeling suddenly rose in Su Xing''s heart. That is, there could be five grades of Golden Core quality: low, mid, high, followed by eight revolutions of the Golden Core, but the ultimate Nine Revolution Golden Core was an existence that completely surpassed the eight revolutions of the Golden Core. ``` Nine is regarded as the most honored number, and the Nine Revolution Golden Core has been an existence pursued by countless Golden Core Stage cultivators for millions of years. At the moment the Nine Revolution Golden Core formed, Su Xing''s cultivation aura surged once again, and the spiritual power in his Dantian almost wanted to burst forth. "So this is the profound mystery of the Nine Revolution Golden Core... My spiritual power now is almost twice as strong as before. Although I have never fought with a Nascent Soul cultivator, with my current spiritual power, perhaps I need not fear an average Nascent Soul cultivator!" "Even if they are Grandmaster Level professionals, as long as I learn two more attacking spells, I have the confidence to fight them!" What Su Xing didn''t know was that the benefits of the Nine Revolution Golden Core went far beyond this. In ancient times, cultivators all pursued perfect Qi Refinement and perfect Foundation Establishment. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And the Nine Revolution Golden Core is the perfect Golden Core; its function is not only to make a cultivator''s spiritual energy cultivation stronger but also to compensate for a cultivator''s innate deficiencies. Su Xing had no master and had been exploring the path to immortality on his own, unaware that perfect Qi Refinement and perfect Foundation Establishment could take him further on the path of cultivation, so there were some regrets and imperfections. However, the accomplishment of the Nine Revolution Golden Core made Su Xing''s cultivation during Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment also perfect. His cultivation afterwards would be much smoother, and he would be able to go further on the path to immortality. It is written in ancient cultivation texts, those with an inferior Golden Core, may become Nascent Soul cultivators. Those with a medium Golden Core, the Nascent Soul may form, but Divinity Transformation is hopeless. Those with a superior Golden Core, Divinity Transformation awaits. For every turn in the Golden Core, a new world unfolds. The cultivator who reaches the eighth revolution Golden Core can become an immortal of the mortal realm, living freely and joyously for tens of thousands of years. For the Nine Revolution Golden Core cultivators, there is none in a million, unattainable for those not of extraordinarily brilliant talent. If cultivated successfully, longevity can be expected. It was fortunate that Su Xing pursued the Nine Revolution Golden Core. Although it consumed quite some time, it laid a foundation for his future cultivation. Otherwise, when Su Xing reached higher realms and wanted to compensate for his innate deficiencies, it would be exceedingly difficult! After feeling the surge in his cultivation level, Su Xing was excited for quite some time before he came around and started to brainwash himself. "I mustn''t get carried away! I mustn''t get carried away! Being a Nine Revolution Golden Core cultivator amounts to nothing! I still need to cultivate steadily!" Su Xing brainwashed himself several times, and his excitement gradually subsided, his eyes again showing a trace of worry. "Alas, when will I be able to become a Saint! It is said that all are ants beneath the Saints!" Su Xing constantly pressured himself and then started to think about his next plan. "According to the simulation, in one week, the Lingyun Commerce Guild in Kyoto will offload most of their assets. As long as I can acquire those assets, I will definitely be able to drastically increase Tarot Commerce Association''s strength, and by then, Su Xing will also have more abundant energy." "Of course, the biggest issue now is that my money is far from enough. There may be less than one billion in cash flow within the Tarot Commerce Association, but to acquire the Lingyun Commerce Guild, even the first payment is likely to cost over a hundred billion!" "The immediate priority is to concoct more elixirs to make money!" With this thought, Su Xing immediately headed to the herb shop and bought a large quantity of herbs needed for concocting elixirs. After purchasing enough herbs to make a small mountain, Su Xing immediately entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land and began concocting elixirs. "Based on the price of one million Great Xia Coins for a Nourishing Face Pill, three million Great Xia Coins for a superior Nourishing Face Pill, and five hundred thousand Great Xia Coins for a Wound Healing Pill. I have to concoct at least nearly ten thousand elixirs and sell them to make the initial purchase of the Lingyun Commerce Guild, right?" ``` Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Su Xings Noble, Jin Congxue! "After attaining the Nine Revolution Golden Core, my speed of alchemy clearly sped up significantly. At my current pace, if I don''t eat, drink, or sleep, I should be able to craft three hundred Nourishing Face Pills in one day and barely manage two thousand in a week. That quantity is far from enough..."Su Xing refined elixirs while pondering. "Regardless, let''s make them first and talk later. Being able to stockpile more elixirs always means selling them for more money!" Thus, in the following week, Su Xing crafted elixirs day and night, sustaining his stamina with Fasting Pills and not sleeping for seven consecutive days. Finally, after seven days, Su Xing had crafted a total of one thousand Nourishing Face Pills, three hundred superior Nourishing Face Pills, and eight hundred Wound Healing Pills. This pace was barely achieved after Su Xing''s strength broke through, squeezing out his very last bit of energy. After seven days, Su Xing, sporting a pair of dark circles, couldn''t stop yawning. Continuously crafting elixirs for seven days and nights, expending a great deal of mind and physical strength, it''s fortunate that Su Xing was a Golden Core Stage cultivator, or he would have died from exhaustion long ago. Looking at the small pile of elixirs in his storage ring, Su Xing revealed a satisfied smile. "Including the few hundred elixirs I saved up before, I now have three thousand elixirs in my hands. Although that''s not enough to acquire the Lingyun Commerce Guild, it''s only sufficient to give it a try for now!" Su Xing took out his phone to send a message to Jin Congxue, setting up a time to meet. Half an hour later, the two arrived at the villa, having ordered dinner in advance, ready to eat while talking. Jin Congxue, seeing Su Xing''s appearance, was stunned for a moment, and with confusion she said, "I haven''t seen you for a few days, and you somehow look even betterstrange, there''s just a sense of being kidney-deficient." Su Xing rolled his eyes at the remark. Looking better was due to the effect of his talent, while the kidney-deficiency was entirely because of night-long alchemy sessions! Soon, the servants delivered the luxurious dinner they had ordered. Su Xing hadn''t eaten in days, and although the Fasting Pills ensured his stamina, he couldn''t help but feast upon seeing the lavish dinner, wildly stuffing a large chicken leg into his mouth. Watching Su Xing''s unapologetic eating, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and passed him a napkin, teasing him, "Are you a starving ghost reincarnated, kiddo? How come it feels like you haven''t eaten in a long time?" Su Xing, while wolfing down his food, held up his thumb and said, "You really missed your calling as a fortune teller! Indeed, I haven''t eaten in several days. Seeing all this delicious food, I truly couldn''t resist!" After a satisfying meal, Su Xing and Jin Congxue got down to business. She first handed over the thirty thousand white-quality pieces of equipment she had acquired in the week to Su Xing. Then she continued, "Su Xing, do you know about the big news in Kyoto''s business world lately? Lingyun Commerce Guild, due to poor management, has started to offload a large volume of assets, especially the sale of low-tier equipment. Are you thinking of buying up any of that?" Su Xing had anticipated this, so he nodded and asked directly, "I have indeed heard of the Lingyun Commerce Guild, barely considered a first-class guild. But how much liquidity is needed to acquire these assets?" After hearing this, Jin Congxue held up two fingers and said, "At least two hundred billion Great Xia Coins! Lingyun Commerce Guild has declined in recent years, but at its peak, it virtually monopolized the market for low-end professionals in Kyoto, being valued at several trillion. A camel, even thin, is still bigger than a horse!" "Although the Lingyun Commerce Guild has fallen, its current asset valuation is still above five hundred billion Great Xia Coins. However, due to some issues among the guild''s internal shareholders, that''s why assets are being sold off so cheaply!" "As long as we can acquire Lingyun Commerce Guild, I am confident that I can elevate the Tarot Commerce Association to the ranks of a first-class commerce association within a year!" Su Xing nodded after hearing this, admiring Jin Congxue''s business acumen. The hallmark of a first-class commerce association is that its industry valuation has to reach over a trillion. In his previous simulations, even with the advantage of foresight and spending more than a decade, Su Xing had never managed to elevate the Tarot Commerce Association to a first-class commerce association. It was only a remarkable woman like Jin Congxue, who came from a family of merchants and possessed a sharp eye, extensive resources, and connections, who could be so sure of her claim. Su Xing pondered that if Jin Congxue also had talent, it would at least be of a purple-level business tycoon''s caliber. Su Xing thought for a moment and said: "Two hundred billion is still too much for the Tarot Commerce Association, which is currently just a second or third-tier commerce association with an industry valuation of only tens of billions... I''m afraid the association can''t come up with so much money, can it?" In truth, Su Xing had some doubts in the simulations; even if he worked tirelessly at alchemy, gathering two hundred billion in a short time wasn''t very realistic. How did Jin Congxue manage to acquire Lingyun Commerce Guild? Jin Congxue patted her generous figure and rolled her eyes as she spoke: Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Su Xing, you really don''t understand the business world at all! Coming up with two hundred billion in cash, even for the Jin Merchant Guild, would be difficult. Typically, acquiring an industry is done through asset swaps or incremental buying." "With the Tarot Society''s current thin spread of industries, asset swapping is out of the question, but incremental buying is entirely feasible! For the first installment, just one-tenth of the total capital is enough, which is twenty billion!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and took out a bottle of elixirs from his storage ring, saying: "Here are 1,500 Nourishing Face Pills, 500 premium Nourishing Face Pills, and 1,000 Wound Healing Pills, which are my last in stock. Afterwards, I''ll provide over 1,500 elixirs each week, so try to acquire Lingyun Commerce Guild as soon as possible." Jin Congxue was stunned to see Su Xing take out so many elixirs in one go. The elixirs in Su Xing''s hands were worth 35 billion Great Xia Coins! Moreover, Su Xing had said that he could supply 1,500 elixirs each week, which meant at least 15 billion in value each week. "Goodness, you''re practically a walking printing press!" Jin Congxue was somewhat surprised but then thought for a moment and said: "I had originally planned that we should at least take over Lingyun Commerce Guild''s industry sector in equipment trading. But now, seeing the speed at which you make money, we can completely swallow up Lingyun Commerce Guild!" Seeing Jin Congxue in such an excited state, Su Xing laughed and nodded, but he hesitated inwardly and said: "However, the initial capital of thirty-five billion might not be enough for the acquisition, and it doesn''t seem quite right to directly use elixirs to buy Lingyun Commerce Guild..." Hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue giggled and said: "Have you forgotten who I am? The young miss of the Jin Merchant Guild, I do have some clout! Of course, we won''t be trading the elixirs directly. I''ll first deposit these elixirs in the Jin Merchant Guild, getting a loan of thirty or forty billion shouldn''t be a problem!" "Then, I''ll negotiate the acquisition as the heir of the Jin Merchant Guild, using the guild as a guarantor! With this brand name, although the initial tens of billions might seem a little less, as long as you can provide a batch of funds each month, completing the entire acquisition within half a year won''t be a big issue!" After hearing this, Su Xing was once again moved. He finally understood how Jin Congxue had managed to acquire Lingyun Commerce Guild within a year in the simulations; with the top-tier Jin Merchant Guild as a guarantor, Lingyun Commerce Guild was naturally reassured. "Jin Congxue really is my benefactor. Without her, the development of the Tarot Society would''ve been so much slower..." Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Shadow Protectors Probe, Can an Alliance Be Formed? ```After discussing the acquisition briefly, Su Xing fully delegated the matter to Jin Congxue. Upon returning to school, Su Xing took advantage of the emptiness around him and entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land. First, he exchanged the newly obtained three hundred thousand pieces of white-grade equipment for energy, and together with the previous leftover of over one million three hundred thousand energy points, Su Xing''s simulation energy surged to an unprecedented level, reaching three million points! As he watched the mountain of equipment swiftly vanishing before his eyes, Su Xing muttered to himself, "At the current stage, the white-grade equipment provides the best cost-performance ratio for producing energy, but even white equipment is limited. As my need for energy increases, who knows if there will be enough white-grade equipment in the future!" "Perhaps, when that time comes, I''ll need to find other materials to replace the white-grade equipment." Previously, Su Xing had also tried converting other things into energy. Ordinary elixirs could be transformed into a few hundred energy points, but the key issue was that they were too expensive and couldn''t be purchased in bulk. Not to mention skill scrolls, which contained even less energy than equipment. Regarding the exchange of green and blue-grade equipment for energy, Su Xing had tried that as well but found that the white-grade equipment still offered the largest quantity of energy and had the best cost-performance ratio. "Forget it, I won''t think about this for now. There''s always a way when it comes to it, just stick to simulating!" Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulator and thought to himself, "Start simulation!" On February 11 of the New Era 2024, Su Xing began the twenty-third simulation. [Ding! This simulation consumes 2,300 energy points, leaving a balance of 3,016,666 energy points, with unlimited remaining simulations.] [Simulation has started!] [Extracting a white-grade talent costs 100 energy points, a green-grade talent costs 1,000 energy points, and extracting a blue-grade talent costs 10,000 energy points. Would you like to extract?] "Extract the blue-grade talent!" [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the blue-grade talent, Plant Affinity!] [Plant Affinity]: You are naturally good at farming. All kinds of plants thrive under your care, and those planted by you will grow significantly faster. Seeing this talent, Su Xing''s eyes brightened. Plant Affinity was a perfect match for his Spirit Field Blessed Land! "This can make plants grow much faster. This is like being a druid, right? I just wonder if it''ll work on Spirit Plants..." Su Xing mused, stroking his chin. In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing had already planted thousands of Spirit Plants. Some that grew quickly could be used for alchemy after a year and a half under the nourishment of Spiritual Energy. However, most Spirit Plants needed to grow for more than ten years before their medicinal properties could be utilized, and some even required a hundred years to fully manifest their effects. Su Xing naturally couldn''t wait that long, fortunate that he had a simulator, but even the simulator only allowed him to harvest a small portion of medicinal plants. Now, with the Plant Affinity talent, Su Xing''s planting speed of Spirit Plants would undoubtedly be much faster! "This talent is simply too suitable for me. It looks like I have no choice but to select it during this simulation!" Su Xing silently exclaimed in his heart, turning his attention to the simulation interface. ``` [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realized you were in a simulation.] [You decided to try out the newly acquired talent you had gained, planting a few spirit plants and carefully nurturing those you had previously planted.] [A month had passed, and during that time, you spent an hour each day growing spirit plants, while the rest of the time was dedicated to alchemy.] [To your surprise, the spirit plants you had sown grew rapidly, almost catching up with the growth of those from the previous three months in just one month''s time. You were pleasantly surprised and subsequently cleared several more plots of wasteland.] [One day, Jin Congxue found you and informed you that the preliminary acquisition of the Lingyun Commerce Guild had been completed, with the remaining payment required to be settled gradually over the next six months.] [You nodded in agreement, providing Elixirs to Jin Congxue on a weekly schedule. Although the Tarot Commerce Association wasn''t of much use to you in the simulation, you also wanted to see the subsequent development of the guild.] [Before long, six months had flashed by, and one day, Wang Qingxuan found you.] [She informed you about the mysterious organization, and through Wang Qingxuan, you successfully joined the Descending Sect.] Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Upon joining the Descending Sect, you continued to act cautiously as before in order to gain the trust of the members within the sect.] [In the second year, you revealed your talent for alchemy. The Shadow Protector took a strong interest in you and requested that you make Elixirs for the Descending Sect, indicating that you could be promoted to an Elder-member level within a year.] [You accepted the task, and every day you concocted substandard Elixirs to fulfill the assignments, but secretly kept all the carefully crafted Elixirs to yourself for your own cultivation.] [A few months later, you deliberately let the Shadow Protector catch glimpses of who you might be, leading her to vaguely guess your identity. After that, the Shadow Protector frequently tested you, but never proposed a plan for you to make Elixirs for her privately.] [In the third year, thanks to your excellent performance over the past year, you were successfully promoted to the eighteenth Elder of the Descending Sect. What excited you even more was that the day after you became an Elder, the Shadow Protector approached you.] [She expressed her wish for you to craft a batch of Elixirs for her, totaling around five thousand.] [You frowned and feigned refusal, asking her why she needed to make such a large batch of Elixirs.] [The Shadow Protector stated that it was her private affair; you just needed to complete the task on time, and that your efforts would be well rewarded.] [From the tone of the Shadow Protector, you sensed displeasure. Knowing you can''t hurry matters, you told her that you would deliver this batch of Elixirs to her within six months.] [The Shadow Protector looked somewhat surprised since, based on your past alchemy speed, it would have taken at least a year or two to craft five thousand Elixirs. You smiled meaningfully but said nothing.] [Thus, another six months passed. During this time, you made Elixirs for four hours every day. With an abundance of herbs in the Descending Sect, you had secretly stockpiled over ten thousand Elixirs.] [In addition, you also ensured four hours of cultivation time daily, with your Cultivation Level improving day by day. You felt breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage within a few years would not be difficult.] [One day, the Shadow Protector found you, and you handed over the five thousand Elixirs you had prepared in advance. She was amazed by the effects after checking them, as the quality of this batch was several times higher than the Elixirs you had previously supplied to the sect.] [Realizing the deep implications of your actions, the Shadow Protector initiated one last probe: She asked what your purpose was for joining the Descending Sect.] Su Xing tensed up when he read this, muttering to himself: "Here it comes! Finally, as a naturally cautious person, the Shadow Protector has only just come to somewhat trust me after three years and several slip-ups. Is she finally going to discuss the reasons for my joining the Descending Sect?" Su Xing knew he couldn''t rush this. In the simulation, offering the Shadow Protector five thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills within half a year was meant to demonstrate his value. Only by showing the Shadow Protector hope would she reveal her true feelings to him. Su Xing continued with the simulation. [Facing the Shadow Protector''s inquiry, you simply smiled faintly and said, "My purpose is the same as yours, to save this broken world!"] Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Gaining Trust, Alliance with the Shadow Protector! In the real world, Su Xing''s heart hung in suspense.Having spoken those words within the simulator, he had effectively laid his identity bare. If the Shadow Protector was neither a spy nor a traitor, his death was certain. This amounted to a wasteful use of a precious simulation opportunity. But if the Shadow Protector truly was a traitor, then Su Xing would save himself much trouble in subsequent simulations. Everything hinged on a single thought. Su Xing swallowed and continued the simulation. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After hearing your words, the Shadow Protector''s expression subtly changed. She claimed she did not understand what you were saying, that she had joined the Descending Sect decades ago and had always been following the path of the master.] [Your heart felt more at ease after hearing the Shadow Protector''s response because if she truly was loyal to the Descending Sect, she should have killed you right then and there.] [You simply closed your eyes, allowing the Shadow Protector to end your life, which led her to fall silent.] [After a long while, the Shadow Protector let out a bitter laugh and said, "How pitiful. Compared to those true behemoths, our world is destined for destruction! In their eyes, our world is nothing more than insignificant dust"] [At that moment, the Shadow Protector finally opened up to you. Seizing the opportunity, you argued that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, you should exert ten thousand times the effort, just like how the Shadow Protector requested you to refine elixirs. Was it not a struggle despite knowing you were powerless to resist?] [It seemed the Shadow Protector was swayed by your words. She inquired about your plan to resist the invasion of the Foreign Race. You presented an elixir, stating you would practice alchemy and that as long as you could produce enough strong individuals with elixirs, the Foreign Race would eventually be driven away.] [However, the Shadow Protector responded with a bitter laugh, indicating that it was a mere drop in the bucket. Even if the Human Race''s strength was raised by a notch, they would still be insignificant in the face of the Foreign Beasts.] [The Shadow Protector then asked how many elixirs you could provide all on your own.] [Filled with hope, you contemplated for a moment and then stated that you could supply a thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills every month and asked her if that number was sufficient.] [Upon hearing your words, the Shadow Protector was visibly stunned. A supply of a thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills per month equated to creating two hundred warriors at the Grandmaster Level. Nearly three thousand in a year. If so many strong individuals could be produced annually, perhaps it could significantly delay the Foreign Race''s invasion!] Su Xing chuckled lightly upon seeing this. With Su Xing''s alchemy speed, if he focused only on that, he could even refine more than two thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills in a month. However, Su Xing also needed to cultivate. In this simulation, he needed to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, so without impacting his own cultivation speed, he could only spare four hours per day for alchemy. "It seems that in this simulation, I''ll have to form an alliance with the Shadow Protector. Just how long can we delay the end of the world?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow and continued the simulation. [Ultimately, the Shadow Protector agreed to form an alliance with you. She said she would do her best to cover for you, to conceal your identity, while you needed to supply her with at least five hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills every month!] [You seized the opportunity to request Yellow Immortal Essence, essential for refining Organ Refining Pills, and the Shadow Protector agreed to your request.] [In the fourth year, you maintained four hours of alchemy every day and spent even more time ensuring your cultivation, feeling yourself getting closer and closer to the Nascent Soul Stage.] [Within a year, you had refined over ten thousand elixirs, nearly half of which were given to the Shadow Protector. The remaining pills you used to sustain your cultivation, and you had saved up several thousand Organ Refining Pills to use when necessary.] [In the fifth year, you continued to consume Essence-Nourishing and Mind-Nourishing Pills daily to strengthen your Cultivation Level. You sensed a subtle change in your Golden Core, which forced you to spend more time stabilizing your cultivation. Breaking through from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage was slightly more difficult than you had imagined.] [That year, the number of Organ Refining Pills you accumulated reached ten thousand, which was still far from enough.] [In the sixth year, you continued to refine elixirs methodically. Besides cultivating in your spare time, you also returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land to tend to the spirit plants.] [You discovered that many of the spiritual medicines you had planted had reached maturity, even surpassing the quality of those in the treasury of the Descending Sect.] [You were tempted to try refining new elixirs, but you knew that the purpose of this simulation was to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, so you abandoned the idea.] [In the seventh year, you persisted in your cultivation efforts. You could feel that you were a mere thin layer of sandpaper away from the Nascent Soul Stage, and you knew you had hit a bottleneck.] [You knew that breakthroughs couldn''t be forced. Sometimes, relentlessly seeking a breakthrough would only lead to bitter consequences. It was better to let things take their natural course, which might unexpectedly lead to a breakthrough to a Nascent Soul Cultivator.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly. With his True Spiritual Root aptitude, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Cultivator shouldn''t encounter any significant bottlenecks. For those cultivating, it was not uncommon to be stuck in a great realm for decades or even centuriesthis was due to insufficient aptitude. But Su Xing''s issue was a lack of the right mindset. He was only one opportunity away from the Nascent Soul Stage and might be able to break through without pain. With that thought, Su Xing continued to look at the simulation panel. [You no longer practiced arduously every day, only cultivating lightly for half an hour each morning to maintain your spiritual sense, leaving you with more time for alchemy.] [This year, you refined elixirs for ten hours each day. Thanks to the ample supply of spiritual medicine you had left, you weren''t short on ingredients.] [Within a year, you had produced over thirty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills, knowing they would be of great use in the future.] [You remembered clearly that in a previous simulation, the Shadow Protector had no further need for elixirs in the eighth year. Perhaps something catastrophic had happened in her original world, which led her to abandon her need for elixirs.] [Thus, you sought out the Shadow Protector, intending to give her the Essence-Nourishing Pills a year in advance.] [The Shadow Protector was shocked to receive more than thirty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills but accepted them. You told her to distribute the elixirs as soon as possible.] [After she nodded in response, you didn''t see her for the upcoming days.] [After resting for a few days, you immersed yourself back into the rhythm of alchemy. Apart from maintaining essential cultivation, you amassed tens of thousands of elixirs within a year.] [The ninth year was just another ordinary day for you, where you continued your daily routine of alchemy and cultivation.] [But that day, the Shadow Protector found you, looking considerably worn out. It had been months since you last saw her, so you quickly inquired about her situation.] [The Shadow Protector remained silent for a long time before uttering a few words: "Give up, give up this futile resistance."] [Your heart skipped a beat, knowing that the Shadow Protector''s world might have ultimately perished. You hastily asked how she was defeated and how her world was destroyed.] [The Shadow Protector seemed reluctant to elaborate, merely saying a few words about the coming of the great beasts and the world''s apocalypse...] [You fell silent, knowing that the Shadow Protector had managed to fight for an extra year for her world. According to the original timeline, her world might have perished in the eighth year, yet it had endured for one more.] [But what truly shook you was the mention of the coming of great beasts, which almost exactly matched the cause of destruction of your own world. You didn''t dare contemplate the implications.] [Looking at the grieving Shadow Protector, you too seemed to be touched by her emotions, momentarily at a loss for how to console her.] [Crack, under the strong surge of emotions, your long-stagnant cultivation level finally broke through, and you successfully became a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!] Chapter 76: Chapter 76: One Hundred Thousand Elixirs, a Generous Gesture! "I''ve broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage?"Surprise flickered through Su Xing''s eyes. He had just condensed his Nine Revolution Golden Core in his last simulation, and unexpectedly, happiness arrived so abruptly, allowing him to achieve the status of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator at the first level, it was probably enough to multiply Su Xing''s strength several times over. "Once this simulation ends, if I can become a Nascent Soul cultivator, I won''t even consider ordinary Grandmaster Level professionals as threats. Perhaps then, I can try to explore those few dangerous copies, right?" With that thought, a chilling light flashed in Su Xing''s eyes as he murmured, "And that Damned Zong... I must slay him with my own hands!" Su Xing took several deep breaths, calming his mind anew. Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "A showdown with that Damned Zong is certain. Not to mention his act of turning me into a Human Pill in the simulation, just the possible inheritance from the Cultivation World he might have left behind is a massive fortune to me!" What was Su Xing most in need of now? Spirit Stones? Elixirs? Cultivation Techniques? None of the above. Although Su Xing didn''t have many Spirit Stones or Elixirs, he had never used them in the real world, only in simulations, and thus far, they had been sufficient in every simulation. In other words, as long as the simulations were infinite, he had an endless supply of Elixirs and Spirit Stones. As for cultivation techniques, the Changchun Technique was already enough for Su Xing''s current stage. That wasn''t something he needed to consider. What Su Xing needed most now was experience, knowledge about some common sense and secrets of the Cultivation World, as well as powerful offensive spells. As long as he killed that Damned Zong, Su Xing believed he would have all of these, after all, that was an old monster who had lived for over a thousand years. "However, I must not take any risks. I need to be absolutely certain That Damned Zong is probably a peak Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator. Despite his old age and frailty, he''s not someone who a mere Nascent Soul can covet." "Wait a little longer... When I also reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, I might then attempt to take that old dog''s life!" Su Xing took a deep breath, calming his emotions. "At crucial moments, one must play it steady... Anyway, with the simulator with me, the advantage is mine!" Su Xing continued the simulation. [After your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, your strength surged like never before. The commotion of your breakthrough caught the attention of Shadow Protector standing nearby, who looked at you with a strange gaze.] [You had no choice but to explain that each person''s physique was different, and then you asked the Shadow Protector what her plans were next.] [The Shadow Protector seemed to have less vitality and energy than before; she shook her head slightly, indicating that her world had been destroyed, and she only wanted to live well from now on.] [You asked if the previous alliance with the Shadow Protector still counted, and she nodded affirmatively, expressing that no matter what, you had contributed to the rescue of her homeland.] ["Tell her that although her world may no longer exist, Blue Star still does, you wish to save as many lives of the Human Race of this world as possible."] ["Shadow Protector understands your feelings, so she''s prepared to continue the alliance with you. Only this time, you guys have a common goal, to delay the destruction of this world by the strange beasts as much as possible."] [In the tenth year, you spend the whole year refining Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills. Because of the rapid progress in strength, your pill refining speed has increased a lot compared to before. In one year, you''ve refined fifty thousand Organ Refining Pills.] [In the eleventh year, you didn''t stop there. Taking advantage of your position as Shadow Protector, you''ve nearly emptied the Descending Sect''s treasury over the years. This year, you spent another full year crafting fifty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills.] [Based on your simulations and experience, you know that the change at Demon-Subduing Pass is supposed to occur next year. Once Demon-Subduing Pass falls, the Human Race will be beyond salvation. You must deliver the elixirs to the upper echelons of the military before the fall of Demon-Subduing Pass.] [You possess a total of one hundred thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills. Such a quantity could potentially double the number of Grandmaster Level professionals in Great Xia Country within half a year!] [You''ve already made your decision. Once you have delivered these pills to the military of Great Xia Country, whether or not you get discovered, you plan to immediately leave the Descending Sect and focus on enhancing your own cultivation further.] [Before setting out, you found Shadow Protector. She seemed to understand the purpose of your trip and wished you good luck.] [In the moment before parting, Shadow Protector hesitated before she revealed to you that her name was Luo Shuying.] Su Xing paused upon reading this, murmuring to himself, "Luo Shuying" [You quickly found Lu Yuanwu through your own channels. Lu Yuanwu looked somewhat haggard, but his arm was still intact. This meant Demon-Subduing Pass must be in trouble but not yet at the point of collapse.] [Lu Yuanwu asked about your intentions. After a brief explanation, you handed over the storage ring to Lu Yuanwu and instructed him on how to use the two types of pills.] [After hearing your explanation, disbelief filled Lu Yuanwu''s eyes. Could these mere pills actually improve a professional''s physical and mental attributes, thereby increasing the chance of breaking through to the Grandmaster Level? But in that moment, he had no other choice and had to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive.] [After handing over the pills, you took advantage of the fact that the Descending Sect had not yet noticed and secretly went to see your parents. Worried about implicating them, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land quietly.] [In the twelfth year, freed from worldly entanglements, you could devote more time to cultivation.] [Regrettably, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, you distinctly felt the speed of cultivation slow down significantly. If before it was like filling up a basin with water from the Golden Core first layer to the second layer, now at the Nascent Soul Stage, this basin had turned into a large vat. You needed to fill this vat to the brim to make a minor breakthrough.] [Before you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you left yourself several thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills, believing it would be enough for your future cultivation.] [But you found that the resources needed for cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage far exceeded your expectations. Even if you consumed Essence-Nourishing Pills daily like candy, the effect on purifying and augmenting your Spiritual Power was quite limited.] [What surprised you was that the effect of the Essence-Nourishing Pills was unexpectedly good. You had also taken Essence-Nourishing Pills during the Golden Core Stage to enhance your inspiration and Divine Sense.] [Compared to the Golden Core Stage, the improvement of Divine Sense at the Nascent Soul Stage is even more crucial, as according to the records of the Changchun Technique, all cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage need to thoroughly condense their Divine Sense.] [Golden Core cultivators have a range of Divine Sense spanning only around a zhang (about 3.3 meters) from their body, while Nascent Soul cultivators can even extend their Divine Sense up to ten zhang or even tens of zhang.] [In the thirteenth year, you split your daily practice into two parts: the first part to enhance your Spiritual Power and cultivation level, the second part to improve your Divine Sense Realm.] [One day, you realize that after your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, you''ve encountered a tricky problem. As your cultivation level continued to climb, you felt the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land was getting thinner and thinner] Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Achieving Nascent Soul Ancestor, Stay Steady and Dont Be Rash! Lacking spiritual energy, Su Xing spent his first few years like this, leading him to even become a Body Refinement Cultivator.But now, having tasted the wonderfulness of spiritual energy, losing access to it was absolutely unacceptable for Su Xing. Yet, in future simulations, he found himself once again lacking spiritual energy. Although there was still some time before that reality would strike, Su Xing still felt a sense of urgency. "Fortunately, there are Gathering Spirit Flowers. It seems that in the upcoming simulations, I''ll have to find a way to plant some to ensure a supply of spiritual energy..." It was foreseeable that after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, Su Xing''s need for spiritual energy would increase even further. Although he could use elixirs to enhance his cultivation level, spiritual energy was fundamental. Su Xing sighed lightly and turned his attention to the rewards of this simulation. [Plant Affinity]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points. [Nascent Soul Stage, First Layer]: Qi Refining Cultivation, Nascent Soul ancestors are terrifying, priced at 1 million energy points. [Seventeen Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 170,000 energy points. [Two Gathering Spirit Flowers (Growth Stage)]: Not fully matured Gathering Spirit Flowers, estimated to be 3 years from full growth, priced at 20,000 energy points. [Minor Spirit Gathering Array (Superficial Understanding)]: A faint comprehension of the Minor Spirit Gathering Array, priced at 5,000 energy points. (The Minor Spirit Gathering Array is one of the thirteen minor decisions in the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique) There''s not much to say about the simulation rewards. Only three items stirred Su Xing''s interest to exchange. The blue talent Plant Affinity, the Cultivation Level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and the two Gathering Spirit Flowers that are in the growth stage. After pondering for a moment, Su Xing decided to exchange for the Plant Affinity talent and the Cultivation Level of the Nascent Soul Stage. The Gathering Spirit Flowers were good, but they were too time-consuming to cultivate during their growth stage. Moreover, it would take three years for them to mature. Even with the Plant Affinity talent, it would still require a year''s time. It was better to later bring out fully matured Gathering Spirit Flowers. As for the Plant Affinity talent, it was almost a must-have. Whether it was for later planting Gathering Spirit Flowers or other spirit plants, it would be needed. As for the Cultivation Level of the Nascent Soul Stage, that went without saying. Cultivation level had always been important, and moreover, after advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, Su Xing''s alchemy skills would further improve. "I choose the blue talent Plant Affinity and the Cultivation Level of the Nascent Soul Stage, First Layer!" Su Xing thought silently in his heart. Suddenly, a notification sounded in Su Xing''s ear. [Ding, you have chosen to take the blue talent Plant Affinity, costing 100,000 energy points, remaining energy 2,996,666 points.] [Ding, you have chosen to take the Nascent Soul Stage, First Layer Cultivation Level, costing 1 million energy points, remaining energy 1,996,666 points.] As the simulator''s voice rang in his ear, Su Xing first felt a gentle green light spill over his body. Then, he seemed to sense the emotions of every plant around him, becoming more harmonious with them. "Is this the feeling of Plant Affinity? Not bad at all, huh?" Su Xing understood why the Plant Affinity talent could accelerate the growth of plantseverything in the world has spirit, and now Su Xing could sense the emotions of spirit plants, which would allow him to cultivate them better. The Plant Affinity was simply an internal change within Su Xing. Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The next second, Su Xing felt something inside him yearning to break out. Cultivation feedback was coming! Su Xing hurriedly sat down cross-legged, guarding his mind. He looked inward at his Dantian with his spiritual sense. He saw the Nine Revolution Golden Core within his Dantian trembling gently, a golden light enveloping the whole Dantian in an instant. The aura of the Nine Revolution Golden Core continued to gather and climb. The whole process lasted about a minute. Su Xing didn''t dare blink, constantly sensing the changes within the Golden Core inside him. Ultimately, only a crisp sound was heard. Crack! The Nine Revolution Golden Core displayed a fissure, which expanded like a spiderweb and eventually shattered completely. Within the core, an infant the size of a palm appeared; this infant was born with his eyes open, bright and alert, resembling Su Xing considerably. What was more astonishing was the golden light radiating from the baby''s entire body. (Note: This is a description of the Nascent Soul, with no suspicion of being a clone, rest assured it''s safe.) After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, the growth of Su Xing''s cultivation level hadn''t ended. His aura surged again, nearly approaching the second level of the Nascent Soul Stagea result of the simulated years of diligent cultivation just before. "So this is what it''s like to be a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator..." Su Xing took a deep breath, noting the uniqueness of his Nascent Soul. A normal Nascent Soul cultivator''s soul wouldn''t be golden; a golden Nascent Soul could only be formed by a Nine Revolution Golden Core. This golden Nascent Soul also significantly elevated Su Xing''s strength beyond that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. At the same time, Su Xing felt an immense spiritual power within his body, which was several times stronger than during the Golden Core Stage! If, before, the cultivation of his Golden Core was like a stream in the mountains, then now the stream had joined a river, much more abundant than before! "Hiss, although I''ve just broken through to the Nascent Soul cultivator, with the power of the Nine Revolution Golden Core, perhaps my spiritual power is already comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!" Su Xing sighed inwardly. "The only regret is that I still lack offensive techniques. Currently with only the Li Fire and Spirit Explosion Technique at my disposal, it''s about time to schedule learning new offensive spells..." Su Xing''s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul was exceptionally smooth, the whole process natural, but the sudden increase in strength still made him feel a bit inflated. Su Xing hurriedly scooped up two ladlefuls of clear water from the Spirit Well, drank half, and poured the other half over his crown, which calmed his emotions once more. He then began his routine self-brainwashing. "Stay steady, just a mere Nascent Soul cultivator for now... I must at least wait until reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage before I can seek vengeance on that damned Zong!" After a few moments, Su Xing''s emotions stabilized again, returning to his usual composed demeanor. This was a drawback Su Xing found with the simulator; each time his cultivation was simulated and enhanced, the sudden increase in power made him feel inflated. Only by constantly reminding himself could he remain steady (and hold on). Su Xing opened the cultivator''s panel to review his current information. [Name: Su Xing] [Age: 21] [Occupation: Cultivator (Unique Hidden Occupation)] [Cultivation Level: Nascent Soul Stage Level 1, Organ Refining Realm Level 9] [Cultivation Techniques: Changchun Technique, Condensing Core Secret Technique] [Talents: Dual True Spiritual Roots of Wood and Fire, Unyielding, Innate Divine Strength, Fortune Upon Fortune, Quick Wit, Unbreakable, Beast Speech Level 10, Handsome as Pan An, Smooth Business Fortune, Plant Affinity] [Skills: Li Fire (Elementary), Alchemy (Elementary), Spirit Explosion Technique (Elementary), Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Uninitiated)] After checking the attributes panel, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. Now that his Qi Refining Cultivation had become Nascent Soul Stage Level 1, his strength had surged, and his control over spiritual power was exceedingly strong. Besides, after more than twenty simulations, the number of talents Su Xing currently had reached exactly ten, which made him worry somewhat. "Logically speaking, there might be a limit to the number of talents one can have. After reaching ten talents, how will I continue to acquire new ones?" Chapter 79: Chapter 79: New Energy Source, Exotic Metal! Su Xing, having voiced his doubts inwardly, quickly received a rare response from the simulator.[Ding, after obtaining ten talents, the host can spend simulator energy to expand the talent slot. Higher quality talents with the same function will automatically replace the old ones, and for different quality talents, the host can freely replace them as well.] Relieved by the simulator''s reply, Su Xing exhaled; the limit to the talent slots wasn''t ten, which meant he had greater growth potential. "Sigh, it looks like I''ll be working tirelessly to accumulate energy again!" After finishing with the simulation, Su Xing didn''t rest but immediately continued with alchemy. He mainly focused on making Nourishing Face Pills and also produced a small batch of Wound Healing Pills. Soon, a week passed by. In one week, Su Xing had manufactured a total of three thousand Nourishing Face Pills and Wound Healing Pills. The reason he could produce them so quickly was partly that the low-grade elixirs were simple to make, and also, after his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, both his Divine Sense and Spiritual Power had increased immensely; making three thousand elixirs in a week was even manageable with energy to spare. While conducting alchemy, Su Xing pondered: "Making low-grade elixirs, I''m now able to multitask with ease. Perhaps I should build a few more Pill Furnaces to significantly speed up the process!" A thought struck Su Xing; he had once used multitasking in a simulation to simultaneously concoct multiple batches of elixirs. Although the chance of failure and the risk of the furnace exploding increased, the overall speed of alchemy would definitely see a significant boost. For instance, if Su Xing were to refine elixirs in three furnaces at the same time and one failed, the efficiency of his alchemy would still have doubled. "Sigh, the only troublesome thing is that ordinary metal furnaces can''t withstand the high temperatures of alchemical flames. The Pill Furnace would probably explode before the pills were even complete... I remember during the simulation, Lu Yuanwu seemed to have crafted a batch of Pill Furnaces for me, using some kind of special metal, was it called?" "I''ll ask Jin Congxue about the origin of this special metal when I see her later." Su Xing stored the freshly concocted elixirs into his storage ring and then made his way to the small villa where he often met with Jin Congxue. Today, Jin Congxue was dressed in a light blue gown, her long hair carelessly draping down, her clear eyes shining and her teeth gleaming, her body still carrying the fresh scent from her recent bath. Seeing Su Xing lost in thought for a moment, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes coquettishly and said, "What, visiting me just once a week and always for work? If you think I''m pretty, you should come to see me more often~" Su Xing, hearing the playful tone in Jin Congxue''s voice, felt a shiver run through him and replied with a wry smile, "Sigh, work is still the priority... From the moment I open my eyes each day, it''s all about alchemy, how could I have the time to see you?" Having said that, Su Xing handed over the elixirs he had prepared in advance to Jin Congxue. After receiving the elixirs and checking the quantity, Jin Congxue raised an eyebrow and said, "Your skills in alchemy have improved again, haven''t they?" Su Xing nodded and said, "These elixirs should be worth three to four billion. In another two weeks, the funds for the first phase of acquiring Lingyun Commerce Guild should be nearly ready!" Jin Congxue nodded in response and handed a storage ring to Su Xing, saying, "This week, we''ve only managed to buy a hundred thousand pieces of white quality equipment, and another twenty thousand were drops from our own people. After all, in order to acquire the assets of Lingyun Commerce Guild, we really can''t divert more funds..." Su Xing took the storage ring and half-jokingly replied, "So I''ll have to tighten my belt for the next two weeks, huh? When will I finally get to have my fill?" sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Remembering Su Xing''s previous comments about consuming equipment, Jin Congxue couldn''t help bursting into laughter, covering her mouth as she chuckled, "Don''t worry, after these two weeks, I''ll make sure you''re stuffed! I''ve heard that Lingyun Commerce Guild has amassed a large stockpile of white quality equipment over the years, which they''ve failed to sell off. Our acquisition will include that stock, and there''ll certainly be more than enough for you!" Su Xing''s eyes brightened upon hearing this; if Jin Congxue said there was a large batch, then the quantity must be substantial. Currently, Su Xing still had two million energy units on hand. If he didn''t exchange them for cultivation levels, it should be enough for the moment, especially since advancing one level in the Nascent Soul Stage required one million energy units... As long as he could get through these two weeks, a large amount of energy would be credited to his account afterward. Su Xing was confident he could hold on. After chatting with Jin Congxue for a while, Su Xing asked, "By the way, A''Xue, do you know about exotic metals?" Jin Congxue nodded after hearing this and said, "Exotic metals are one of the essential metals needed for crafting high-quality equipment. Even the lowest first-order exotic metal can be used to create blue-grade equipment. However, they are quite expensive. Why do you ask?" Su Xing''s eyes lit up again upon hearing this; who could have guessed that exotic metals were materials for crafting equipment? Could it be that exotic metals might also contain substantial energy? Su Xing wasn''t certain yet, so he said, "I plan to craft two new alchemy furnaces. That way, I can speed up my alchemy, but ordinary metals simply won''t do, which is why I thought of exotic metals..." Jin Congxue gave a slight nod upon hearing Su Xing''s words and then directly took out a palm-sized piece of exotic metal from her storage ring and handed it to Su Xing. "This is second-order exotic metal, enough to craft orange-grade rare equipment. See if you can use it to make the alchemy furnaces you need?" Su Xing took the exotic metal in his hand and immediately felt a heaviness. This palm-sized piece of exotic metal, probably weighing hundreds of poundswhat incredible metal density is this? Feeling intrigued, Su Xing tentatively attempted to absorb the exotic metal as a model energy. A notification sounded in Su Xing''s ear. [Ding, 300 kg of second-order exotic metal discovered, can be converted into 60,000 model energy points. Do you wish to convert?] Su Xing was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed in his heart; such a small piece of second-order exotic metal contained 60,000 model energy points? This was definitely an excellent material for providing model energy! Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Su Xing asked, "Xiao Xue, how much would this piece of second-order exotic metal sell for on the market?" Jin Congxue thought about it and said, "The market price for second-order exotic metal is around fifty thousand Great Xia Coins per kilogram, so this 300 kg piece of exotic metal could sell for more than 15 million Great Xia Coins..." "Of course, that''s the market price. Exotic metals come from special ore in certain dungeons, with scarce production and high market demand. If you''re buying directly from professionals, the price for second-order exotic metals might be about forty thousand per kilogram..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing did some quick calculations in his mindone kilogram of exotic metal could convert into 200 model energy points, meaning one model energy point needed around two hundred Great Xia Coins. The energy exchange ratio was about the same as for white-grade equipment; one piece of white-grade equipment cost seven hundred Coins and yielded about five energy points, and with good luck, even six points. But the issue was the large demand Su Xing had for white-grade equipment, whereas the exotic metal was smaller in volume and less conspicuous. A palm-sized piece of second-order exotic metal could produce 60,000 energy points. "Perhaps, this second-order exotic metal could be a good substitute for white-grade equipment in the future?" Su Xing whispered this thought to himself, then asked again, "So, do you have any first-order exotic metals here?" Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Dual Focus, Double the Alchemy Speed! Jin Congxue nodded after listening and said,"The production of first-grade alternative metal is significantly higher, and the price is much cheaper; the market price is only one-tenth of that of second-grade alternative metal. On average, the price per kilogram is around 5000 yuan, with the cost price at 4000 yuan per kilogram." After speaking, Jin Congxue handed over a palm-sized piece of metal. Su Xing took the piece of first-grade alternative metal and immediately felt that it was much lighter. After testing it with a simulator, he found that this 100-kilogram piece of alternative metal contained 2000 points of simulated energy. By that calculation, the energy output of first-grade alternative metal basically costs 200 yuan per point of simulated energy. Su Xing thought for a moment. Based on the current situation, white-quality equipment was still the most cost-effective method of obtaining energy, but the cost of alternative metal was not too much higher, and it was more convenient to purchase large quantities of alternative metal all at once. Su Xing made up his mind quickly. He would still primarily purchase white-quality equipment, while also buying a small amount of alternative metal. Later, when he needed more energy, perhaps alternative metal could take its place. So, Su Xing said, "Xue''er, the second-grade alternative metal should be barely enough for casting an alchemy furnace, but I''m afraid it won''t last long before getting burnt out... If it''s possible to have third-grade alternative metal, that would be the best!" After listening, Jin Congxue thought for a while and said, "Third-grade alternative metal is the main material for crafting epic equipment, which is too precious. It''s only seen at auctions, and the price is hefty... I will keep an eye out for this information for you." "If you need it, I have quite a few channels to obtain first and second-grade alternative metals." Hearing this, Su Xing nodded helplessly and said, "If that''s the case, then let''s use second-grade alternative metal to forge the alchemy furnace for now. If I remember correctly, the Jin Merchant Guild has a few master smiths who can craft it. It''s going to be troublesome for you..." Jin Congxue shook her head lightly, indicating it was no trouble at all. Su Xing quickly drew up the blueprints for the alchemy furnace he had always used and asked Jin Congxue to help him craft two new ones. After dinner, the two flirted and joked for a while before Su Xing returned to school. Taking advantage of the absence of others around him, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land. He first exchanged the newly obtained 120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment for energy, providing him with a total of 630,000 points of energy. Adding to his previous leftover of nearly two million points, Su Xing''s energy reached 2.63 million points. On the afternoon of February 18, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing began his twenty-fourth simulation on time. "Start the simulation!" Su Xing silently chanted in his mind. [Ding! This simulation consumes 2400 points of energy, leaving a balance of 2,633,333 energy points, with unlimited remaining simulation opportunities.] [Simulation starts!] [Extracting a white talent costs 100 points of energy, extracting a green talent: 1000 points, extracting a blue talent: 10,000 points. Would you like to extract?] "Extract a blue-quality talent!" Su Xing was indeed eager to extract a higher quality of talent, such as purple, but the problem was that his assets were insufficient, and the simulator didn''t even offer this option! [Ding, congratulations on obtaining a blue-quality talent, Proficiency in Buddhist Teachings!] [Buddhist Mastery]: You possess a unique wisdom root, and if you embark on the path of Buddhist cultivation, severing the seven emotions and six desires, you may become a true Buddha in this world. Su Xing saw the new blue talent he had drawn and immediately, black lines appeared on his forehead. "Damn it, do I really have such a fate with those bald monks? This is the second Buddhist talent I''ve drawn!" Su Xing sighed. Although he knew that among cultivators there were also those who practiced Buddhism, abandoning the seven emotions and six desires and not being able to drink wine or eat meat did not suit his tastes at all. Su Xing would rather be a solitary sword cultivator than become a bald monk. After sighing, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [Thinking of the new talent you''ve acquired, you quickly take out a mirror to check your hair.] [Fortunately, your hairstyle is still flowing elegantly; it seems the talent does not affect your appearance.] [First, you take out the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, find the seeds of the Gathering Spirit Flower, and plant them, then provide daily careful nurturing.] [In the following week, you continue to refine elixirs every day while enhancing your cultivation level, as the spiritual energy within the Spirit Field Blessed Land is still abundant enough for your daily cultivation needs.] [A week later, Jin Congxue handed over two alchemy furnaces she had refined to you. Excited, you couldn''t wait to try out their efficacy.] [When you first attempted to multitask, you made frequent mistakes, and the speed of refining elixirs in two furnaces simultaneously was even slower than focusing on a single one.] [However, after experimenting for a month, the speed of your alchemy rapidly improved.] [Half a year later, you were able to refine elixirs in both furnaces at the same time without any issues, and you discovered a new skill named "Multitasking" on your panel, which excited you.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan found you, and after one night, you joined the Descending Sect.] [The second year, after being an ordinary sect member for three months, you had earned the trust of the Descending Sect, so you deliberately showed off a bit of your alchemy, catching the attention of the Shadow Protector.] Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You earned the appreciation of the Shadow Protector, who promised that as long as you refined elixirs for the sect each month, you would be able to become an Elder within a year.] [Looking at the Shadow Protector''s loyal demeanor, you had already rolled your eyes in your heart. The little vixen sure put on a good act; no wonder no one in the Descending Sect ever doubted her.] [But you didn''t expose her directly; instead, you continued to refine elixirs.] [Because you had mastered the Multitasking skill, you were able to refine elixirs in two pill furnaces simultaneously, which skyrocketed your alchemy efficiency. With your speed, you could refine more than two hundred Organ Refining Pills or Essence-Nourishing Pills a day.] [Unfortunately, the Shadow Protector only provided you with a little over three hundred herbs each month, so you spent no more than half a month to refine over three thousand elixirs, and after deducting a ninety percent margin, you supplied over three hundred inferior-quality Essence-Nourishing Pills to the sect every month.] [With the remaining time, you focused on enhancing your own cultivation level.] [The third year, your cultivation level grew more refined, and you felt you were not far from the second level of the Nascent Soul Stage. However, the bad news was that the spiritual energy within the Spirit Field Blessed Land had also thinned out considerably, and you estimated that the remaining spiritual energy would at most suffice for your cultivation to reach the third or fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage.] [Fortunately, the Gathering Spirit Flowers you had planted earlier had matured. All three plants survived, and you carefully observed around the Gathering Spirit Flowers, indeed sensing that the concentration of spiritual energy was significantly higher.] [You finally confirmed that Gathering Spirit Flowers could indeed produce spiritual energy, but with only three plants, their effect on improving the spiritual energy was quite unsatisfactory. You estimated that you needed to plant dozens of Gathering Spirit Flowers to ensure a balance between the spiritual energy input and output of the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [It''s a pity that the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique had scant details on propagating Gathering Spirit Flowers, so you could only set aside this method of abundant spiritual energy for now.] Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Taking the Shadow Protector, Emptying the Descending Sect! "Three Gathering Spirit Flowers, better than none at all,"Su Xing sighed softly. While three Gathering Spirit Flowers were not enough for his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation needs, they were indeed sufficient for his daily alchemy to replenish the spiritual power he consumed. Ever since Su Xing learned that the spiritual energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land was limited, he had become much more cautious in using spiritual power, not daring to cultivate at all, even wishing he could split one portion of spiritual power into two for use, because he also consumed spiritual energy during daily alchemy. Once his spiritual power was exhausted, he wouldn''t even be able to make elixirs. "However, with these three Gathering Spirit Flowers, perhaps I could supplement the spiritual energy needed for my daily alchemy?" A desire for the Gathering Spirit Flowers took root in Su Xing''s heart. "Let''s continue with the simulation" [That same year, you became the eighteenth Elder of the Descending Sect, codenamed Elder Ya.] [The next day, the Shadow Protector contacted you, requesting you to specifically concoct a batch of Essence-Nourishing Pills for her, amounting to five thousand.] [She provided you with enough medicinal ingredients, you nodded, indicating that she could come to collect them in two months.] [The Shadow Protector was shocked when she heard your words, as she initially thought it would take you a year to concoct five thousand pills, but unexpectedly you told her it could be done in two months.] [The Shadow Protector expressed her doubts, questioning you why you weren''t fully dedicated to concocting elixirs for the Descending Sect.] [You chuckled, stating that you had been merely concealing your abilities, and that your actions naturally had their own purpose.] [At the same time, you raised a request for cooperation, offering to provide the Shadow Protector with two thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills each month, but in return, the Shadow Protector needed to supply you with a thousand spiritual medicines monthly.] [The Shadow Protector was wary but faced with the immense temptation, she agreed to your request for cooperation.] [By the fourth year, you had collaborated with the Shadow Protector for over a year, with her supplying you a large number of spiritual medicines monthly, and you providing two thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills for her in return.] [During your year-long cooperation, you collectively embezzled over ten thousand spiritual medicines from within the Descending Sect, which attracted the attention of some members of the sect, but thanks to the Shadow Protector''s umbrella of protection, you faced no obstacles.] Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [One day, the Shadow Protector approached you, and after over a year of cooperation, she was convinced that you harbored a great secret, so she inquired about your true identity.] [Because of your previous simulation experiences, you didn''t conceal anything and openly admitted that you were an undercover agent sent by the Human Race.] [The Shadow Protector''s mouth gaped open upon hearing your words, in disbelief of how easily you had disclosed this.] [The Shadow Protector asked if you were not afraid of her exposing you, to which you smiled slightly, revealing that you knew she was also an undercover agent from another world.] [At those words, a sudden killing intent flashed in the Shadow Protector''s eyes. This was her greatest secret after having joined the Descending Sect for decades, and now you had uncovered it.] [However, you were not alarmed, knowing that the Shadow Protector would not likely kill you as she needed more elixirs.] [Indeed, after a moment of silence, the Shadow Protector stated that this secret must only be known between you two, and must not be leaked to others.] [You nodded in agreement, and as you both became aware of each other''s secrets, your connection grew stronger and the alliance more firm.] [In the fifth year, you continued your clandestine alchemy business with the Shadow Protector, and the number of elixirs you had accumulated kept growing. By this time, you already had nearly fifty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and fifty thousand Organ Refining Pills in your possession.] [As your cooperation with the Shadow Protector became more reliable over these two years, she also disclosed some information to you, revealing secrets about her world.] [The Shadow Protector expressed her envy towards your world where everyone could enhance their strength by slaying monsters; in her world, the only way to grow stronger was through cultivation.] [When you asked if she practiced cultivation, the Shadow Protector shook her head, clarifying that the power system in her world revolved around Dou Qi and Magic, similar to occupations and attack methods, and lacked the mystical aspects of a Cultivator''s path.] [You felt somewhat disappointed, but you still learned about the composition of strength in the Shadow Protector''s world.] [Compared to Earth, humans in the Shadow Protector''s world were significantly weaker. The Shadow Protector was among the very top tier of her world. However, many people there had strength comparable to Gold and Master Level professionals, so their strength greatly increased after taking Essence-Nourishing Pills.] [At the same time, the Shadow Protector informed you that the Foreign Race''s assaults on their world were much weaker than on Blue Star, but they were still an irresistible force for them.] [You felt even more shocked by the power of the Foreign Races, but remained resolute in your belief that you could resist them.] [In the sixth year, you accumulated even more elixirs, and by now you had nearly eighty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and seventy thousand Organ Refining Pills in hand.] [In the seventh year, the number of elixirs you held surpassed two hundred thousand for the first timeenough to create forty thousand Grandmaster Level professionals. You had unparalleled confidence in resisting the invasion of Demonic Beasts.] [However, as the years passed, your involvement with the Shadow Protector and your inside-and-out collusion meant the Descending Sect''s treasury of Spiritual Medicine had dwindled significantly, causing discontent among the other Elders and Protectors.] [With no other choice, you claimed to have had a small breakthrough in your alchemy skills, which would allow you to provide a thousand elixirs to the sect each month, while also increasing the amount of medicinal materials you received each month.] [In the eighth year, as your cultivation level continued to refine, you drew ever closer to the Nascent Soul Second Layer.] [On a sunny, breezy morning, you achieved a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Second Layer, a sudden and effortless advancement after a long period of accumulation.] [It took you a full eight years to advance from the Nascent Soul First Layer to the Second Layer. Although part of this was due to the time you spent on alchemy, you estimated that even with full dedication to cultivation, it would take four to five years to break through in the Nascent Soul Stage, and the higher the stage, the more difficult the breakthrough.] Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly upon reading this. To break through from the Nascent Soul First Layer to the Second took eight years, and including the last simulated cultivation period, advancing from the First to the Second Layer had taken over a decade in total. Since cultivation naturally becomes more difficult later on, wouldn''t advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage Great Perfection require two to three hundred years? Although for an ordinary Cultivator this speed was already extremely fast, Su Xing was still not satisfied. Two to three hundred years would require more than a dozen simulations in the simulator. This was only possible because Su Xing could extract his cultivation level each time. If Su Xing obtained some Cultivation Techniques or secret manuals, wouldn''t his ability to enhance his cultivation become even more difficult? Touching his chin, Su Xing thought: "To quickly increase my cultivation level, there appear to be two methods at present. The first is to enhance the quality of my Spiritual Root. If I obtain a purple-quality Spiritual Root, perhaps it would only take a century to break through to a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator..." "Secondly, of course, is to refine an elixir that can increase the cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators!" Muttering to himself, Su Xing said: "I remember, doesn''t Li Fire Alchemy record an elixir called Dragon Spirit Pill that can enhance the cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators?" Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Dragon Spirit Pill, Im Done Pretending, Im a Time Traveler! The Essence-Nourishing Pill had little effect on enhancing Su Xing''s Cultivation Level now that he was at the Nascent Soul Stage.To maintain rapid growth in his Cultivation Level, taking more advanced elixirs was a good choice. "If I remember correctly, the Dragon Spirit Pill is one of the top-tier among the lower-grade elixirs, and its primary ingredient is a Spiritual Medicine called Dragon Spirit Grass..." Su Xing narrowed his eyes, continuing to simulate further. [You realize that to enhance your Cultivation Level, you need to refine a new elixirthe Dragon Spirit Pill! The main material for this pill is Dragon Spirit Grass, and coincidentally, you have planted more than ten stalks of twenty-year-old Dragon Spirit Grass in your Spirit Field.] [But just over ten stalks of Dragon Spirit Grass are not enough for you to master this elixir; thus, you sketched the appearance of Dragon Spirit Grass and had the Shadow Protector help you find this herb in the treasury.] [A few days later, the Shadow Protector successfully obtained more than a dozen stalks of Dragon Spirit Grass from the treasury for you, informing you that the treasury of the Descending Sect also had limited quantities, only a few hundred stalks, and that you needed to pay contribution points within the sect to exchange for them.] [Although a few hundred stalks of Dragon Spirit Grass weren''t many, they were already more than enough for you. You spent all the contribution points you had accumulated over the years to exchange for all the Dragon Spirit Grass.] [After that, you began attempting to refine the Dragon Spirit Grass.] [In the first month, you refined thirty batches of Dragon Spirit Pills, all of which failed. The Dragon Spirit Grass required more precise control of fire and Spiritual Power, making it the most difficult elixir you had attempted to refine so far.] [In the second month, you refined thirty batches of Dragon Spirit Pills, succeeding with two batches, but the effects of the Dragon Spirit Grass were unclear, and you didn''t dare to take them.] [In the third month, you refined thirty batches of Dragon Spirit Pills, succeeding with six batches. The success rate reached twenty percent, and your professional panel showed that you had gained basic proficiency in the refinement of Dragon Spirit Pills.] [Over the next half-year, you refined Dragon Spirit Pills daily, and the success rate reached fifty percent.] [At this point, you still had over two hundred stalks of Dragon Spirit Grass in your hands, but you didn''t refine them immediately; instead, you reserved them.] [In the ninth year, one day, the Shadow Protector came to you looking somewhat downcast.] [The Shadow Protector told you that although their world had fought with all its might, it was still a failure; the power of the Foreign Race was just too strong, almost beyond comparison.] [The allies who once filled their hearts with hope now immersed in deep despair. Although you had long known the outcome and that managing to hold on for an additional year was already quite an achievement, you still felt sad for the Shadow Protector.] [You gave the Shadow Protector an encouraging hug, telling her that if she wished, she could consider Blue Star as her second home and fight for it.] [After hearing your words, Shadow Protector offered a pained smile, expressing that her strength was too weak, that even if she helped you, she would ultimately be powerless against the Foreign Race.] [You said nothing more, merely taking out a newly developed Dragon Spirit Pill for the Shadow Protector to try.] Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [The Shadow Protector did not hesitate much and swallowed the Dragon Spirit Pill immediately; moments later, a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes, indicating that the pill was potent, and it actually made her feel a trace of strength improvement.] [At the same time, the Shadow Protector stated that such elixirs could even help those of the Grandmaster Level in your world to become stronger, perhaps even giving them a slim chance to reach the Heavenly King Level!] [The Shadow Protector looked somewhat disheartened as she said, what difference would it make even if there were a few more Heavenly King Level powerhouses? It would still not change the fate of the world being destroyed by the Foreign Race.] [Yet you smiled calmly and countered: what if there were over a hundred Heavenly King Level strong individuals?] [The Shadow Protector clearly paused after hearing your words, carefully contemplating before saying that if hundreds more Heavenly King Level warriors could be added, perhaps they really could hold on longer against the beast invasion.] [At the same time, the Shadow Protector''s expression appeared somewhat sorrowful, indicating that if they had possessed these elixirs earlier, perhaps her homeland wouldn''t have been destroyed so easily.] [Having experienced the apocalypse yourself, you naturally knew how terrifying the strength of those colossal beasts was, at the very least not something a mere hundred more Heavenly King Level warriors could resolve.] [But you were clear that this was a significant improvement; previously, your elixirs could only affect Master Level professionals, but now you could make Grandmaster Level professionals stronger, even turning them into Heavenly King Level professionals.] Su Xing felt a surge of excitement at this. With Nascent Soul Stage strength equivalent to Grandmaster Level professionals, if these Dragon Spirit Pills could indeed rapidly enhance a group of Heavenly King Level professionals for the Human Race, then the apocalypse''s arrival could definitely be delayed once more.] ["The effects of the Dragon Spirit Pills should be similar to Essence-Nourishing Pills, only much stronger. They can increase the Spiritual Power Cultivation Level of Nascent Soul cultivators. Even Grandmaster Level professionals could have their mental attributes enhanced."] ["And with the mental attributes of spellcasting professionals enhanced, the chances of successfully completing advancement tasks become greater... Particularly for veteran Grandmaster Level professionals, it may greatly increase their chances of succeeding in promotion tasks!"] Su Xing''s eyes lit up. Unlike cultivators, professionals had the advantage of rapidly increasing their strength over a short period by killing monsters to earn a large amount of experience points and leveling up.] But the death rate for professionals undertaking major rank-up tasks at each large tier was very high, which meant many professionals at Master Level 30 had insufficient strength to break through to Grandmaster Level.] And many professionals at Grandmaster Level 30 were unable to break through to Heavenly King Level.] The purpose of the elixirs Su Xing refined was exactly this: to improve their strength so they could succeed in advancing!] ["Perhaps, this time around in the simulation, the Human Race will gain a batch of Heavenly King Level professionals, and maybe they will be able to resist for a longer time..."] Su Xing took a deep breath, eager to continue the simulation.] [You once again extended an invitation to the Shadow Protector, hoping she would join you in defecting from the Descending Sect.] [The Shadow Protector struggled for a long time but still rejected you. She believed that even so, the Human Race couldn''t possibly withstand the giant beasts'' attacks, and defecting would be tantamount to seeking death.] [Having no choice, you said to her: Then I wish you good luck, Luo Shuying!] [After you uttered her name, the Shadow Protector froze; in disbelief, she asked how you knew her name, pointing out that she had been part of the Descending Sect for decades using ''Shadow'' as her alias, and no one had ever known her full name.] [You told the Shadow Protector that she had told you her name herself.] [Of course, the Shadow Protector didn''t want to believe you, so you made up a story.] [You told her that you possess the ability to travel through time, constantly endeavoring to save the world the two of you inhabited. As for the name Luo Shuying, she had told you herself.] [This story, which you didn''t even believe yourself, ultimately convinced the Shadow Protector.] [The Shadow Protector said that compared to an unfathomably dark future, she would rather believe in a savior traveling through the timeline.] Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Third Immersive Simulation, Luo Shuying! Su Xing paused when he saw this, as if something had suddenly occurred to him, and he halted the simulation, whispering to himself."I want to use the immersive simulation feature!" [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation, consuming one hundred thousand points of energy for one hour of simulation time, remaining energy 2,523,333 points!] This was the third time Su Xing had used the immersive simulation feature, and each time, there had been a compelling reason for him to enter personally. And this time was for an important reason as well. Su Xing felt a swirl of change before his eyes, and when he regained his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment. It looked like a rural area belonging to some remote town, indeed a suitable hideout for a renegade organization like the Descending Sect. In front of Su Xing stood a figure clad in black tight-fitting clothes, completely wrapped up, wearing a mask with a green face and fierce fangs that looked incredibly intimidating. "Why did you suddenly stop talking?" Luo Shuying''s voice, tinged with fatigue, came from in front of Su Xing. Hearing this, Su Xing smiled and said, "I was thinking, if I travel through the timeline to see you again, is there any way I could get you to trust me directly, without the need for mutual probing, like setting up a passcode or something?" This was the reason Su Xing wanted to use the immersive simulation. If he could really set up a passcode, it would save a lot of time in later simulations. Hearing this, Luo Shuying paused for a moment, then chuckled lightly, "If there ever comes such a day, you can say to me, ''Do you still remember that little girl who cried all night in the heavy rain? We can never go back, Luo Shuying!''" Upon hearing this, Su Xing nodded earnestly, committing Luo Shuying''s words to memory, and then replied casually, "Don''t worry! The next time I travel through the timeline, I will definitely try to save your hometown and the world again!" After hearing this, Luo Shuying''s eyes held a hint of anticipation as she nodded, "I really look forward to that day; it''s a pity I won''t be able to see it..." Su Xing fell silent. Each simulation was just a short few minutes for him, but for the people who truly existed within the simulation, it represented a lifetime. For the next several minutes, Su Xing did nothing superfluous, just quietly staying by Luo Shuying''s side, looking at the tranquil country paths and the endless golden rice fields. It was as if the whole world was so peaceful, having forgotten the apocalypse and the bloody struggle. When the immersive simulation time was about to end, Luo Shuying suddenly said to Su Xing, "Elder Yao, could you take off your mask and let me see it?" No sooner had Luo Shuying finished speaking than she took off her own mask, revealing her delicate features, skin whiter than snow, and light blue eyes, like a sprite living among humans, albeit with a lingering sadness in her eyes. Su Xing was momentarily astounded by Luo Shuying''s beauty. If Jin Congxue was the most beautiful girl Su Xing had seen before, Luo Shuying was even more breathtaking by quite a margin. Su Xing smiled and also took off his mask. In an instant, upon seeing Su Xing''s face, Luo Shuying was also stunned. After a long silence, Luo Shuying smiled and said, "I never expected Elder Yao to be so young, and yet so beautiful... I can somewhat understand why another me from a different timeline would form an alliance with you~" Having said that, Luo Shuying blinked her eyes. Su Xing smiled slightly, just about to say something when his consciousness snapped back to the real world in an instant. [Ding, immersive simulation experience has ended. The host will shortly return to the real world.] Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Back in the real world, Su Xing stared blankly at the simulation screen in front of him, taking quite some time to recover his senses. "Luo Shuying, she must have come from a tragic background as well..." Su Xing murmured silently to himself. For Su Xing, the immersive simulation was entirely risk-free; if he ever encountered danger, the simulator would automatically terminate the immersion, and Su Xing''s consciousness would return to his body. Moreover, even if he told the people within the simulation about his ability to traverse time, they would forget by the next session, and it would not affect the real world in the slightest. It was precisely for this reason that Su Xing boldly formed an alliance with Luo Shuying. [In the tenth year, you successfully convinced Luo Shuying to join forces with you and defect to the Great Xia Military. Before defecting, you and Luo Shuying raided the Descending Sect''s treasury, obtaining a large quantity of medicinal ingredients and treasures.] [You were pursued by six protectors and more than a dozen elders from the high ranks of the Descending Sect; fortunately, after joining the Great Xia Military, you were protected by them.] [Though the Descending Sect was strong, it dared not confront the Great Xia Military head-on and had no choice but to let you go.] [You met Lu Yuanwu and handed over all of the two hundred and thirty thousand Organ Refining Pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills you had accumulated over the years to him and personally supervised the soldiers of the Great Xia Military in taking the elixirs correctly.] [With your assistance in making elixirs, in just half a year''s time, the Great Xia Military gained over forty thousand Grandmaster Level professionals! The number of Grandmaster Level professionals in Great Xia Country increased multiple times over!] Su Xing felt a surge of excitement upon seeing this. As far as Su Xing knew, the number of Grandmaster Level professionals in Great Xia Country in recent years was around ten to twenty thousand, and most of these professionals came from top institutions like Kyoto Academy and the like. Every year, these seven institutions supplied a substantial number of talented professionals to the military and Demon-Subduing Pass, who often saw significant increases in strength within a year or two after being tempered by war. Su Xing murmured: "However, ten years later, the number of Grandmaster Level professionals in the Great Xia Military not only did not increase but decreased, indicating that the war at Demon-Subduing Pass was intensifying. The fear is that the influx of new professionals cannot keep up with the deaths, which is why the number of Grandmaster Level professionals dropped from over ten thousand to less than ten thousand." But ten years later, Su Xing forcefully increased the number of Grandmaster Level professionals in the Great Xia Military by forty thousand, instantly multiplying its core strength and greatly enhancing its chances of defending Demon-Subduing Pass. "And most importantly, it''s the Spirit Pill! That''s something that can foster Heavenly King Level professionals!" Su Xing took a deep breath and continued the simulation. [In the eleventh year, with the addition of forty thousand Grandmaster Level professionals at Demon-Subduing Pass, the war at the front started to turn in favor, allowing Great Xia Country not only to hold Demon-Subduing Pass but even occasionally launch counterattacks against the Foreign Race.] [In the same year, in recognition of your outstanding contributions to Great Xia Country and the entire Human Race, you were awarded the Great Xia Country Hero Medal and a first-class sequence treatment!] [With a first-class sequence treatment, there are only a dozen or so people in the entire Great Xia Country. You could almost access all the intelligence and resource support of the nation, and you chose to become a special consultant to the Great Xia Military, on par with a five-star general.] [You had just over two hundred pieces of Spirit Grass left in your hands, the key to birthing Heavenly King Level powerhouses. Therefore, you devoted even more attention to refining Spirit Pills and continuously improved the success rate of alchemy.] [In the twelfth year, you used the two hundred pieces of Spirit Grass to successfully refine over a thousand Spirit Pills. Including those refined earlier, you now had nearly two thousand Spirit Pills.] [After completing the alchemy, using your first-class sequence privileges, you called for a meeting of the Great Xia upper echelons to discuss the deployment of the Spirit Pills.] Chapter 84: Chapter 84: A First-Class Sequence, The Powerful Dragon Spirit Pill Su Xing was immediately elated at this sight.He never expected that his simulated self would become one of the top echelons of the Great Xia Country by crafting elixirs, truly standing at the pinnacle of power in the nation. Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He recalled when he first entered the simulation; even being a capitalist tycoon worth hundreds of billions, he couldn''t even catch a glimpse of the faces of the Great Xia upper echelons. "When I initially received the treatment of a third-class sequence, I had access to so many benefits. How strong must the treatment of a first-class sequence be?" Some anticipation filled Su Xing''s heart. [At the meeting, you introduced the functions of the Dragon Spirit Pill in detail, stating that it could enhance the mental attributes and physique of magical Grandmaster Level experts, and professionals who took this elixir might even break through to Heavenly King Level!] [After learning of the Dragon Spirit Pill''s effects, the other executives were astonished and quickly assembled some veteran Grandmaster Level professionals to consume the Dragon Spirit Pills.] [For safety, you selected ten Grandmaster Level professionals to experiment with the specific effects of the elixir.] [You discovered that Grandmaster Level professionals could only consume one Dragon Spirit Pill per month at most, and the efficacy would gradually decrease after taking it, reducing to nearly a third of the first after ten times.] [In the thirteenth year, among the ten Grandmaster Level professionals, the relatively weaker five doubled their strength, while the veteran Grandmasters also saw their power increase by over sixty percent.] [After their strength increased, the ten Grandmasters took the initiative to enter the dungeon to complete the promotion missions, hoping to advance to the Heavenly King Level.] [A week later, only five of the ten Grandmaster Level professionals returned alive, four of whom were veterans. This taught you about the dangers of the Heavenly King Level promotion tasks.] [You learned that all Grandmaster Level professionals, besides completing the promotion tasks, also needed to undergo a Heavenly King Baptism.] [All professionals who completed the Heavenly King Baptism would undergo a transformation at the core of their being, becoming part of the long-lived race, easily living for three to five hundred years.] [After realizing only half of the Grandmaster Level professionals ascended to Heavenly King prowess, you couldn''t help but feel a little disheartened, thinking the Dragon Spirit Pill''s effects were not as strong as you imagined.] [However, you didn''t expect that those who succeeded in their promotion told you, such odds were already record-breaking. In the past, out of ten veteran Grandmasters who attempted to advance to the Heavenly King Level, only one could succeed, with a success rate of one in ten. It was precisely because of this that among over ten thousand Grandmaster Level professionals in the Great Xia Country, there were fewer than a thousand Heavenly Kings.] [After knowing this data, you breathed a sigh of relief, but you still felt a fifty percent chance was too low, reasoning that if those veteran Grandmasters consumed the Dragon Spirit Pill, the success rate might increase to eighty percent.] [Next, you began gathering veteran Grandmaster Level professionals to consume the Dragon Spirit Pill.] [In the fourteenth year, your cultivation level had remained at the second layer of Nascent Soul Stage, and you felt it was becoming increasingly difficult to advance. The main reason was the lack of Spiritual Energy; even consuming one Dragon Spirit Pill every month, you had yet to breakthrough to the third layer of Nascent Soul Stage.] [Consequently, you stopped trying to enhance your Cultivation Level and instead tried to boost your Divine Sense.] Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this and murmured, "If Cultivation Level is temporarily difficult to enhance, perhaps improving Divine Sense will be the right direction" Su Xing had limited understanding of Divine Sense, having only briefly encountered a few descriptions in the later sections of the Changchun Technique from the experiences of his Cultivation predecessors. All cultivators possess Divine Sense, but the Divine Sense of low-level cultivators is so weak that it''s almost negligible. It is only when they reach the Golden Core Stage that cultivators'' Divine Sense begins to take shape, and Nascent Soul cultivators can truly utilize their Divine Sense. When they reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, their Divine Sense can even extend up to a hundred zhang! Improving one''s Divine Sense brings numerous benefits. Within the range covered by Divine Sense, every blade of grass and tree can be thoroughly perceived, and no slight movement can escape the cultivator''s notice. After strengthening Divine Sense, one can cultivate certain Divine Skills that utilize Divine Sense to kill unseen and undetected. For Su Xing, Divine Sense has an even greater use. Alchemy! With a stronger Divine Sense, Su Xing''s mastery over the elixirs in the Pill Furnace will rise to a higher level, the rate of alchemical errors will decrease, and the chances of refining superior Spirit Pills will increase. "What a pity, the cultivation of Divine Sense should have corresponding techniques, but currently, I have no such techniques and can only rely on personal cultivation or consume Elixirs to strengthen it..." Su Xing murmured. "Fortunately, I have Soul Condensing Pills, and my Divine Sense has never fallen behind in its enhancement..." In the past, as Su Xing improved his cultivation level, he also simultaneously enhanced his Divine Sense. This is why, shortly after entering the Nascent Soul Stage, his Divine Sense had already reached a breadth of ten zhang, almost catching up with mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. "So, in this pseudo-simulation, I still need to focus on improving my Alchemy Skills and Divine Sense..." Thinking this, Su Xing continued the simulation. [Following that, you consume three Soul Condensing Pills daily, continuously expanding the strength and range of your Divine Sense. Thankfully, you had previously plundered enough Condensing Spirit Grass from the Descending Sect to sustain daily consumption.] [In the same year, with your assistance, the Great Xia Military gains an additional one hundred and fifty Heavenly King Level professionals! Accompanied by Grandmaster Level professionals, they head to Demon-Subduing Pass.] [In the fifteenth year, you persist in cultivating your Divine Sense, and after a year of relentless tempering and strengthening, the range of your Divine Sense further expands to eleven zhang.] [In the sixteenth year, you cultivate your Divine Sense, and its range reaches twelve zhang.] [In the seventeenth year, feeling that the speed of your Divine Sense cultivation is too slow, you start looking for a way to develop a new kind of Elixir that can increase Divine Sense, the Soul Condensing Pill!] [The Soul Condensing Pill is a mid-grade Elixir, and unlike the nourishing effects of the Soul Condensing Pills, it focuses more on increasing the strength of a cultivator''s Divine Sense.] [The primary component in the refinement of Soul Condensing Pills is a type of wood known as Condensing Spirit Wood, an incredibly mysterious wood with a natural fragrance. Merely smelling it invigorates one''s spirit. If one carries Condensing Spirit Wood at all times, it can slowly strengthen Divine Sense. It can be regarded as a true celestial treasure.] [The rarity of Condensing Spirit Wood exceeds even that of Dragon Spirit Grass, not solely because of its powerful effects but also because it comes from the main trunk of the Condensing Spirit Tree, which grows a foot every ten years. A ten-foot-tall Condensing Spirit Tree requires a century to cultivate.] [Fortunately, when you and Luo Shuying raided the treasury of the Descending Sect, you found a three-zhang-long piece of Condensing Spirit Wood, which is now in your Storage Ring.] [Thus, you take a small section of the Condensing Spirit Wood and begin refining the Soul Condensing Pills.] [The refinement of Soul Condensing Pills is challenging, but thankfully your Alchemy Skills have already made significant progress. You not only learned the near mid-grade Dragon Spirit Pills but also mastered the skill of multitasking in alchemy, which led to rapid progress in the refinement of Soul Condensing Pills.] Chapter 93: Chapter 92: Breakthrough, Cultivator of the Origin Martial Realm! [The high ranks of the Great Xia Country urgently convened a meeting, knowing that even Heavenly King Level warriors need to eat, and if the supply lines were cut, the frontline situation would definitely become dangerous.][At that moment, you stepped forward, declaring that you would produce a type of elixir called the Fasting Pill. With a single dose, a Master Level professional could go without food for a month.] [After the meeting, you quickly set to work producing a batch of Fasting Pills. Your alchemy skills were exquisite; to you, creating an ungraded elixir like the Fasting Pill was effortless.] [With the skill of multitasking, you could produce one to two thousand Fasting Pills in just a day. In less than half a month, you resolved the frontline supply crisis.] [Following this crisis, your influence among the Human Race''s leadership grew even more significant. Often, when facing peril at the frontline, the commanders would seek your counsel.] [One day, it dawned on you that the treasuries of Great Xia Country stored many types of Spiritual Medicines, so you sketched these elixirs and ordered your subordinates to collect these Spiritual Medicines for you.] [Hoping against hope, in addition to Essence-Nourishing Herbs and other Spirit Plants, you specifically drew the blueprint of the Gathering Spirit Flower, wishing that the Great Xia Country''s treasury would possess this kind of Spirit Plant.] [A week later, you received several thousand Spirit Plants from across the Great Xia, which would add thousands of Grandmaster Level professionals and over a hundred Heavenly King Level warriors to the Human Race.] [But among the Spiritual Medicines they brought back, there was still no Gathering Spirit Flower.] [Just as you felt some disappointment, a Heavenly King Level warrior suddenly informed you that he had once seen such flowers, and they covered the mountains and plains.] [Your heart leaped with joy, and you promptly inquired where this Heavenly King Level professional had encountered the Gathering Spirit Flower.] [After pondering for a while, he recalled that it was in the "Luotian Meeting Instance" where he had seen the Gathering Spirit Flowers. When he entered this instance, he saw from Luo Xiaochuan''s perspective that the back mountain of Luo Tian Sect was blanketed with Gathering Spirit Flowers.] Su Xing''s expression shifted, from hope to despair. "What a pity, not to mention fields of Gathering Spirit Flowers, even a few hundred of them would save me from worrying about Spiritual Energy..." Su Xing sighed, murmuring: "It''s a shame it''s in the Luotian Meeting Instance. After all, that instance is just a cycle of time, nothing more than a mirage, unable to reap any benefits. Even if you see fields of Gathering Spirit Flowers, they can''t be brought out..." Su Xing felt some regret but understood that Gathering Spirit Flowers were hard to come by. Still, the clue of their existence within the Luotian Meeting Instance meant a visit was indeed warranted. "So be it, next simulation, I''ll explore the Luotian Meeting Instance..." Sending Su Xing himself was out of the question, after all, entering the Luotian Meeting Instance would attract attention and carry certain risks. And Su Xing was all about being cautious and avoiding risky endeavors! Su Xing pondered for a moment, then continued his simulation. [Knowing that you couldn''t obtain the Gathering Spirit Flower for now was naturally a letdown, but you quickly recovered and began producing a new batch of elixirs.] [You transformed the Spiritual Medicines gathered from the treasuries across Great Xia into elixirs, thus adding a new group of Grandmaster Level and Heavenly King Level warriors for Great Xia Country.] [After completing the production, you turned your focus to fortifying your physique and producing Soul Condensing Pills.] [In the thirteenth year, Luo Shuying brought distressing news; her homeland had been invaded by a Foreign Race, and colossal beasts descended, leading to the total destruction of her world.] [Luckily, you had made preparations in advance. Although Luo Shuying''s hometown could not be spared, you had managed to move many of her kinsmen and some of the most robust individuals ahead of time.] [You learned that Luo Shuying came from a unique race, the Spirit Race, and those who escaped death all made their way to Blue Star, joining in the resistance against the Foreign Race''s colossal beasts.] [That year, you continued to cultivate diligently, producing hundreds of batches of Soul Condensing Pills over the year, yielding two to three hundred pills per batch, and your alchemy skills advanced rapidly.] [In the fourteenth year, you consumed Soul Condensing Pills daily, and the strength of your Divine Sense grew rapidly. In just a year, the range of your Divine Sense expanded to a full three hundred meters!] Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [With a single thought, every plant and tree within a kilometer fell within your perception. This feeling was mysterious to the extreme. Your Divine Sense strength had already broken through the limits of the Nascent Soul Stage, nearing the Divinity Transformation Stage.] [That same year, you discovered that Soul Condensing Pills also slightly enhanced professionals'' strength. This improvement was subtle. A Heavenly King Level warrior, taking a Soul Condensing Pill every seven days, could increase their strength by about ten percent in a month.] [You took out several hundred Soul Condensing Pills, hoping to promote a group of Heavenly King Level professionals to the Martial Emperor Level.] [Alas, you failed. The dozens of Heavenly King Level warriors who took the Soul Condensing Pills did enhance their strength by a lot, but they were still far from reaching the Martial Emperor Level.] Su Xing nodded slightly, murmuring: "Perhaps not all elixirs are suitable for professionals. After all, elixirs are meant to increase Cultivators'' Cultivation Levels, and having the Origin Martial Pill and Essence-Nourishing Pill, which can boost professionals'' strength and help them advance, is already good luck..." After a pause, Su Xing thought: "However, among the three hundred and sixty types of elixirs, there must be quite a few suitable for professionals. This is not something to be rushed..." Su Xing continued the simulation. [Not disheartened, since you had plenty of time, you could leisurely uncover elixirs that boost professionals'' strength, even devising plans specifically tailored for enhancing professionals'' abilities.] Chapter 94: Chapter 92 Breakthrough, Origin Martial Realm Cultivator!_2 [In the fifteenth year, you still diligently worked to strengthen your body and cultivate your Divine Sense every day, and you often studied to improve your skills in refining Soul Condensing Pills.][Within a year, your Divine Sense grew to three hundred and fifty zhang. You seemed to be approaching the bottleneck of Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense strength, and the effectiveness of the Soul Condensing Pills on you was diminishing.] [On one occasion, you accidentally discovered that Soul Condensing Pills significantly enhanced the strength of the Spirit Race. Due to their unique physique, it often took only a few Soul Condensing Pills for their strength to greatly improve.] [You took out several hundred Soul Condensing Pills, which added several dozen Heavenly King Level powerhouses and three Martial Emperor Level powerhouses to the Spirit Race. Even Luo Shuying''s strength greatly improved after taking your Soul Condensing Pills, already nearing the prowess of a Legendary Level fighter!] Su Xing was pleasantly surprised by this discovery. He had not expected the Soul Condensing Pills to be so effective for the Spirit Race and even significantly improve Luo Shuying''s strength. Legendary Level fighters were beings above Martial Emperors, truly a handful of individuals at the pinnacle of the Human Race''s power. "Perhaps, when the Soul Condensing Pills'' improvement to my Divine Sense becomes limited, I can give the surplus to the Spirit Race to consume..." Su Xing thought, stroking his chin. [In the sixteenth year, you continued to toughen your physique daily and enhance your Divine Sense. Your Divine Sense strength made progress, approaching four hundred zhang, and your physical strength also gradually grew stronger with the continuous augmentation from the flesh essence of Demonic Beasts.] [That same year, you survived numerous assassination attempts from both the Descending Sect and the Foreign Race, thanks to Luo Shuying and other powerhouses'' protection. However, the frequent assassinations made you even more cautious, and you tried to avoid unnecessary outings, concentrating on improving your Cultivation Level and Alchemy Skills.] [In the seventeenth year, you used up the last piece of Condensing Spirit Wood in your possession. Over the years, you continuously delved into the art of refining Soul Condensing Pills, and your skills progressed rapidly. Your Alchemy Skills for refining Soul Condensing Pills had nearly reached a minor mastery level, but unfortunately, you lacked enough Condensing Spirit Wood to continue enhancing your skills.] [So, you stopped researching Soul Condensing Pills and focused more energy on increasing your Body Refinement Cultivation Level. As the vigor within your body grew unceasingly, you could consume a jin of Demonic Beasts'' flesh essence daily, and the speed of your Cultivation Level''s improvement saw a slight increase.] sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the eighteenth year, your physical body became ever more perfect. You felt that your physical strength had doubled since you first reached the Great Perfection stage of the Organ Refining Realm. Your strength and physique had both made significant progress.] [You had a premonition that your body''s strength should be sufficient to break through to the Origin Martial Realm, but you still chose to play it safe and decided to wait another two years before attempting a breakthrough.] [In the nineteenth year, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass began to deteriorate, with more and more Demonic Beasts and Foreign Race descending upon the pass. Human Race powerhouses suffered heavy casualties, but they still held back wave after wave of the Foreign Race''s assaults.] [As the war at the frontlines gradually intensifies, the number of slain Demonic Beasts also increases, making more flesh essence available for your consumption each day.] [In the twentieth year, your physical strength still progressed at a slow pace, and even a year''s time might not enhance your physique by ten percent. You understood that it was time to attempt breaking through to the Origin Martial Realm.] [You chose an auspicious day, informed the outside world of your plans to enter seclusion, and prepared plenty of flesh essence and Origin Martial Pills before entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [You sat cross-legged inside a thatched hut, ensuring no external disturbances, and adjusted your breath and state to optimum levels before taking out an Origin Martial Pill.] [You swallowed the Origin Martial Pill, which transformed into a warm current, continuously nourishing your limbs and bones.] [The medicinal power of the Origin Martial Pill spread throughout your body, and the scorching energy incessantly battered your physique. You felt a slight pain and burning sensation in every inch of your skin.] [You quickly focused your mind and devoted all your energy to the breakthrough. Fortunately, after years of consuming enough flesh essence, your physical body''s tremendous strength allowed you to withstand the first and most dangerous wave of the energy impact from the Origin Martial Pill without harm.] [Subsequently, it took you three days to completely assimilate the medicinal properties of the Origin Martial Pill in your body.] [Your physical strength had increased by fifty percent in just three days, but you felt that this still wasn''t the limit; not yet reaching the Origin Martial Realm, you called this state half-step Origin Martial Realm.] [Without hesitation, you swallowed the second Origin Martial Pill, the energy of the Origin Martial Pill erupted quickly within your body, this energy was wild yet powerful, allowing your physical strength to rapidly increase.] [Having the experience of taking one before, you were more adept at digesting the Origin Martial Pill this time; in just two days, your physical strength further improved.] [Next, you consumed the third Origin Martial Pill, and as your constitution continued to strengthen, you were able to absorb the pill''s efficacy to the greatest extent.] [Unmoving as a mountain, seated cross-legged, with the continuous surge of the Origin Martial Pill''s medicinal properties, your momentum steadily climbed, you felt that you were about to reach a critical point.] [In the blink of an eye, three more days passed. At a certain moment, the momentum of your body soared to its peak, and finally, at that instant, you opened your eyes.] [Simultaneously, you felt that your body had broken some kind of formidable shackles; your life essence seemed to have undergone an unknown evolution.] [You successfully broke through and became an Origin Martial Realm cultivator!] "Finally, success!" Su Xing clenched his fists excitedly upon seeing this scene; an Origin Martial Realm cultivator, he had finally achieved it! "It''s just that I don''t know how great the enhancement of the Origin Martial Realm is compared to the Organ Refining Realm?" Su Xing''s heart was somewhat excited. Compared to the Bone Forging Realm, the Organ Refining Realm''s enhancement was internal, involving the five viscera and six bowels, and not a significant boost to actual combat power. But Su Xing had a premonition that compared to the Organ Refining Realm, the increase in strength in the Origin Martial Realm would be tremendous, tantamount to a complete transformation! Although Su Xing was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, equivalent to the Origin Martial Realm among Body Refinement cultivators. But Body Refinement and Qi Refinement should not be generalized; lacking many techniques, reaching the Origin Martial Realm in Body Refinement could, perhaps, be even stronger than the Nascent Soul Stage for Su Xing! "What''s more crucial is, in the simulation lacking Spiritual Energy, the Flesh Essence of Demonic Beasts and Origin Martial Pills are not lacking! This means that in the coming period of time, my Body Refinement cultivation level could possibly see tremendous growth!" Su Xing''s heart throbbed with excitement as he continued to look at the simulation interface before him. [After the breakthrough to the Origin Martial Realm, you felt that the strength of your flesh had more than doubled, and in addition to the increase in strength, your defensive power also became extremely astonishing.] [You tried it out and discovered that even a dagger of blue quality could hardly cut through your skin, this meant you were almost immune to damage caused by practitioners of the Gold Level!] [Furthermore, you found that when you launched an attack, a thin layer of energy would cover your body. This energy, different from Spiritual Energy, was more destructive and could even cause a certain degree of internal destruction to the structure of objects.] [You did not know the source of this energy, but you knew it was inseparable from the Origin Martial Realm; thus, you named it, Origin Force!] Chapter 95: Chapter 93 The Wonders of Origin Force, Power Surge! ```[You familiarized yourself with the strength of your body and attempted to control the newly acquired Origin Force.] [You discovered that Origin Force is a kind of special power that can be cultivated and seems to have unique applications, but with no way to research it further, you could only utilize it in the most rudimentary manner.] [After several days, you ended your secluded cultivation.] [At this time, the situation at the Human Race''s Demon-Subduing Pass worsened day by day, with an increasing number of human powerhouses dying in battle. Nevertheless, you knew that with your current strength, you were still unable to change the situation, so you focused the vast majority of your energy on improving your cultivation level.] [In the twenty-first year, you consumed three jin of Demonic Beast Flesh Essence, one Origin Martial Pill, and several dozen jin of Spirit Rice every day.] [With the boost from your Gluttonous Talent, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level and physical strength increased rapidly, showing visible progress each day.] [In the twenty-second year, you cultivated day and night, grasping the last moments to enhance your strength.] [In the twenty-third year, your relentless cultivation brought your Body Refinement Cultivation Level close to the second layer of the Origin Martial Realm.] [In the twenty-fourth year, Providence did not fail the hardworking, and you successfully broke through, becoming a cultivator of the second layer of the Origin Martial Realm!] [The same year, Demon-Subduing Pass was breached, plunging the Human Race into a massive crisis.] [One day, that familiar behemoth descended once again, swallowing the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp.] [You fought back fiercely, but as a mere Origin Martial cultivator, you were no more significant than an ant in the face of the beast, and along with an entire continent, you were swallowed by the beast.] [You died.] [Your talent for not dying with eyes closed activated, and you saw nothing but darkness.] Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing took a deep breath. The enhancements from this simulation were evident; through multiple simulations, Su Xing''s Body Refinement Cultivation Level had reached the second level directly! The Gluttonous Talent played an undeniable role, but the Origin Martial Pill and Demonic Beast Flesh Essence were key to Su Xing''s increase in strength. "So, this world only lasted twenty-four years this time..." Su Xing muttered to himself, slightly furrowing his brow. "Perhaps around twenty-five years is currently the limit for extending the apocalypse. After all, the improvement of intermediate-level combat power has limited effects on the Demon-Subduing Pass and the overall situation. If we want to further delay the apocalypse and extend the simulation time, we need to enhance the high-end combat strength!" Su Xing closed his eyes and pondered, repeatedly considering whether there were areas for improvement in this simulation and whether he had missed any critical information. A moment later, Su Xing opened his eyes, having developed a more comprehensive plan for the next simulation. "First, the Luotian Meeting Instance. I should make a trip there in the next simulation. After collecting the rewards this time, with Origin Martial Realm cultivation and Nascent Soul Realm exploration, there shouldn''t be any danger..." "As for that damned Zong... This old dog has quite a few secrets! In the next simulation, I should lay out a more detailed plan to ensure that I kill damned Zong on the spot, thereby inheriting his legacy..." After devising a plan, Su Xing turned his attention to the rewards from this simulation. [Never-Falling Spear]: Blue talent, price 100,000 energy points. [Origin Martial Realm Second Layer]: Body Refinement Cultivation, price 2,000,000 energy points. [Twenty-Four Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including experience with the inferior-grade Origin Martial Pill (minor completion) and some Soul Condensing Pill production experience, price 600,000 energy points. [Divine Sense Four Hundred Thirty Zhang (Perceptive Realm)]: In this realm, Divine Sense is like the five senses, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, capable of sensing movements within a radius of four hundred eighty zhang, price 3,800,000 simulation energy points. [Heavenly King Level Demonic Beast Flesh Essence 50 Jin]: Essence of a Heavenly King Level Demonic Beast, containing a large amount of life essence, price 5,000,000 energy points.] ``` Su Xing looked at the simulation rewards and pondered for a moment. "Is the essence of demonic beast flesh really that expensive... Fifty pounds of flesh actually costs 5 million points of energy!?" Su Xing was somewhat surprised. He had originally planned to take out some essence of demonic beast flesh for future cultivation within the simulator. But now, seeing the high selling price, he realized that exchanging it would be more loss than gain. However, Su Xing''s thoughts took a turn, and his eyes gleamed with excitement. "Wait, if fifty pounds of demonic beast flesh essence is worth 5 million points of energy, and according to the simulator''s indices, the difference between exchange and transformation into energy is about tenfold... this means that fifty pounds of demonic beast flesh could be exchanged for five hundred thousand points of energy, which seems quite substantial as well..." Su Xing paused and continued to think along this line of thought. "In that case, when my strength becomes strong enough, I could completely hunt demonic beasts and the Foreign Race to exchange for energy. Since there is an endless number of demonic beasts, doesn''t that mean I could obtain even more simulation energy?" Thinking this, Su Xing''s eyes lit up as he faintly discovered a new channel for rapidly obtaining simulation energy. "But all of these are for the future. Right now, I should exchange for my rewards first!" After some contemplation, Su Xing silently decided: "I choose to exchange for the second level cultivation of the Origin Martial Realm, as well as twenty-four years of alchemy experience!" There was naturally nothing to consider about exchanging for the second level cultivation of the Origin Martial Realm since Su Xing''s purpose in this simulation was to break through to the Origin Martial Realm. As for the choice between alchemy experience and divine sense, Su Xing still preferred alchemy experience. After all, this included the experience for refining both the minor achievement level Origin Martial Pill and, more importantly, the Soul Condensing Pills. With this experience, Su Xing was confident that he could improve the Soul Condensing Pills to the minor achievement level in the next simulation, making it much easier to elevate his divine sense realm when the time came, so he was not in a hurry. As for the talent "Unyielding Silver Spear," although Su Xing was very interested, his current priority was to enhance his strength! [You have chosen to take out the cultivation of the second level of the Origin Martial Realm, spending 2 million points of energy, leaving a balance of 6,522,333 points of energy.] [You have chosen to take out twenty-four years of alchemy experience, spending 600,000 points of energy, leaving a balance of 5,922,333 points of energy.] The simulator''s notification sounded in Su Xing''s ears. First, Su Xing felt that his mind was filled with various alchemy techniques, thus taking a big step forward in his alchemy experience and mastering the methods of refining both the Soul Condensing Pills and Origin Martial Pills. Next came the enhancement of cultivation! A mysterious energy began to reinforce Su Xing''s physical body. Su Xing felt his whole body''s momentum rise continuously as his physical strength rapidly increased. Within just a few minutes, Su Xing''s Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the Origin Martial Realm, and it kept climbing. It was not until his cultivation reached the second level of the Origin Martial Realm that this growth ceased. "Is this... Origin Force?" Su Xing extended his hands, looking at the invisible energy swirling around his arms. Su Xing had a feeling that he could unleash this energy in a short amount of time to greatly enhance his strength and destructive power or use the Origin Force as a protective layer over his skin for defense. "No wonder Body Refinement Cultivators can have a greater combat ability than Qi Refinement Cultivators this Origin Force is indeed an excellent method for attack and defense." Su Xing murmured softly, then his heart grew curious. "I just don''t know how much my physical strength has increased compared to before." First, Su Xing took care of the Spirit Plants planted in the Spirit Field, only leaving the Spirit Field Blessed Land when the sky began to darken, heading towards the training facility within the school. After swallowing a Disguise Pill and combining it with a pill that concealed his energy, Su Xing''s appearance had completely changed, even his aura was very different from before. Once he was sure nothing had been overlooked, Su Xing entered the training facility. It was deep into the night, and the training facility was unusually empty. Seizing the chance when there was no one around, Su Xing approached the strength-testing machine. He walked straight past the Master Level training machine, coming to a stop before the Grandmaster Level strength training machine. The Master Level training machine could at most withstand a force of 500,000 jin, and Su Xing was confident his strength far exceeded that. It wouldn''t be good if he destroyed the machine like he did last time. "Hoo~" Su Xing took a deep breath, anchored his breath to his Dantian, gathered all his strength, and threw a punch. A row of numbers appeared on the strength training machine. "768,000 kg!" Su Xing unleashed a series of punches. "777,000 kg!" "769,000 kg!" "756,000 kg!" After several consecutive punches, Su Xing finally stopped, feeling pleasantly surprised in his heart: "Exceeding 750,000 kilograms means my strength has quintupled the 300,000 jin from my nine layers of the Organ Refining Realm before!" "This, is this the strength of the Origin Martial Realm?" Having surpassed a force of 1,500,000 jin, this was much more than Su Xing had expected. After testing his foundational strength, Su Xing didn''t rush to leave but instead tried to wrap his Origin Force around his fist and punched again. "Ha!" Su Xing shouted explosively. With his Origin Force wound around it, his punch now carried his full strength. Boom! To Su Xing''s surprise, his punch turned the entire machine to smithereens. This was unexpected, as the Grandmaster Level strength training machine was designed to withstand a force of up to 1,000,000 kilograms! This was considered an absolutely safe value, for even those in strength-related professions with great power could not reach this figure. There were even rumors that 1,000,000 kilograms was a figure only those who had just stepped into the Heavenly King Level could achieve. "This is going to be troublesome!" Su Xing scratched his head, his gaze shifting to the only Heavenly King Level strength training machine in the training field. This machine could withstand the forceful strikes of a Heavenly King strongman. Su Xing stepped up to this machine, his Origin Force swirling around his fist. The next second, he launched another punch! Boom! The extreme force that broke the sound barrier landed on the special soft material in front of the strength training machine, which absorbed it and then relayed the precise force back to Su Xing. "1,080,000 kg!" Over 2,000,000 jin! This was the extreme limit of Su Xing''s physical strength when he coiled Origin Force around his fist. One could imagine that Su Xing had a crude grasp of Origin Force now, and once he fully mastered it, his strength would grow even more! "Increased by about a quarter of my strength, and it also comes with extreme destructive power... tsk, this Origin Force is indeed extraordinary!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, and while there was no one around, he left the strength training ground. Proficiently circling the campus to ensure no one was following him, Su Xing then returned to his dormitory. The next morning, when the diligent juniors and juniors arrived at the strength training gym, they were dumbfounded by the sight of the shattered strength training machine. "Damn, who the hell did this? Even the Grandmaster Level strength training machine is smashed to pieces... Could it be that a senior has broken through to the Heavenly King strongman level?" "Are you stupid? Heavenly King strongman can easily become a teacher in our school! Must be some teacher who accidentally broke it..." A group of gossiping juniors discussed excitedly. "Maybe, we could check the surveillance footage to see which big shot did it?" A curious junior suggested, and then they checked the training facility''s surveillance. But Su Xing had already disguised himself, and since he acted during the night, he avoided the school''s cameras along the way. Even turning the place upside down, it would be impossible to find Su Xing, the old senior who was on the verge of being "advised to drop out." In the following week, Su Xing continued to make Nourishing Face Pills and Wound Healing Pills as usual. Within a week, Su Xing had produced 5,000 elixirs and took them to see Jin Congxue. "Eh, I feel like you''ve grown taller again... You must be close to 1.85 meters now, right?" Jin Congxue was stunned to see Su Xing and came over to compare heights, finding she was almost a head shorter than him. Seeing the beauty pressed close to him, her breath fragrant, the warm touch of her skin made Su Xing''s heartbeat accelerate. "Ahem, well... I''ve been eating better lately, maybe a second growth spurt?" Su Xing tried to brush it off casually. But the truth was that Su Xing was already around 1.8 meters tall with a slender build, and now, having broken through in his Body Refinement Cultivation Level, his height should have reached about 1.83 meters. Jin Congxue, seeing Su Xing''s discomfort, chuckled lightly and teased: "Su Xing, my little brother, why are you so nervous? Are you still a fledgling? Do you need your sister to help you out?" Chapter 96: Chapter 94 Weird Talent: I Cant Be the Only Unlucky One Su Xing''s old face turned red at her words.Although he had fought countless battles in the simulator, in the real world, he was still a rookie who had never seen a battlefield. Being teased by Jin Congxue like this, Su Xing was at a loss for a moment. But as someone with a thick skin, Su Xing quickly adjusted and pulled Jin Congxue into his arms, teasingly saying, "Oh? So how does Sister Xue plan to help me out?" Jin Congxue, suddenly embraced by Su Xing, was taken aback, her face flushing red down to her neck, looking adorably flustered. Seeing Jin Congxue''s panicked appearance, Su Xing feigned confusion and said, "Eh, and here I thought Sister was quite experienced... Don''t tell me you haven''t tried it either?" Su Xing deliberately teased her with a mockingly tight voice, making Jin Congxue even more embarrassed. Jin Congxue, slightly shy, struggled out of Su Xing''s embrace and hastily changed the subject, "Ahem, the stockpiles from the other cities of Lingyun Commerce Guild have also begun to slowly be transferred over, but the quantity is enormous, so it''s not easy to account for. I expect an even larger batch of goods will arrive next week..." As she spoke, Jin Congxue handed over a storage ring, adding, "This is the latest batch of goods, about six hundred thousand white-quality equipment pieces. You might need to wait another week for the rest..." After hearing this, Su Xing nodded and said, "I understand, after all, you can''t get fat in one gulp. The real purpose of a commerce association is in the sustained and continuous income..." Jin Congxue, surprised, gave Su Xing a look and teased, "Not bad, Boss Su, starting to think like a businessman now?" After hearing that, Su Xing chuckled and replied, "Of course, who do you think I learned from?" "Here, these are the five thousand Elixirs for this week..." Su Xing passed the Elixirs to Jin Congxue. After receiving the Elixirs, Jin Congxue issued an eviction order, saying, "Ahem, now that business is taken care of... isn''t it time to head back to school?" Su Xing paused for a moment, puzzled, "Aren''t you going to treat me to a meal?" Jin Congxue''s pretty face blushed as she said, "I wouldn''t dare keep you, who knows whether you''ll want to eat food or... something else." Left with no choice, Su Xing headed back to school. Taking advantage of being alone, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land, where the six hundred thousand white-quality equipment pieces brought him a full three million three hundred thousand energy points. With this, Su Xing''s energy points surged once again, reaching 9.2 million! "It''s just a pity that if it had been ten million points, I could have unlocked the Purple Talent..." Su Xing sighed, but then reflected that what he urgently needed to improve now was his Alchemy Skills and Body Refinement Cultivation Level. Extracting a Purple Talent wasn''t urgent, as waiting another week was also acceptable. On the afternoon of March 10th in the New Era Year 2024, Su Xing promptly started the simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation costs 2700 energy points, remaining energy points 9,200,888, remaining simulation times are unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting a white-quality Talent costs 100 energy points, a green-quality Talent costs 1000 energy points, a blue-quality Talent costs 10,000 energy points. Would you like to extract one?] "Extract a blue-quality Talent!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining a blue-quality Talent, "I Can''t Be The Only One With Bad Luck!"] ["I Can''t Be The Only One With Bad Luck"]: You are born under an unlucky star, sure to step in dog poop whenever you leave the house and even get food stuck in your teeth from drinking water. Your misfortune not only impacts you but gradually affects those around you as well. After seeing this talent, Su Xing frowned slightly and said, "Is extreme bad luck really a kind of talent?" "Forget it, let''s simulate and see how it goes!" [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you become aware that you are in a simulation.] [You start making new batches of Nourishing Face Pills and Wound Healing Pills this week, but to your surprise, you, who could make them with your eyes closed, ended up causing an explosion during the Alchemy process. Although you are unharmed, the explosion still negatively affects your mood for Alchemy.] [So you decide not to continue Alchemy for now and instead take care of the Spirit Plants. However, you water the Gathering Spirit Flowers with a shake of your hand, pouring half a scoop too much water, causing one of them to burst on the spot.] [Feeling a bit down, you cook some Spirit Rice for yourself, but unexpectedly, you choke over twenty times during just one meal. As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, you almost die from choking.] [Luckily, you are fortunate enough to have water at hand; otherwise, you could have been the first Nascent Soul Cultivator in history to die from choking.] Su Xing saw this and black lines rose on his forehead. "Damn it, this talent is just too unlucky... Seriously, a jinx from the stars?" "The problem is, I also have the positive talent of good luck with me! Otherwise, I might face danger just walking on the street..." Su Xing immediately felt a toothache, worried about the future of this simulation, but he continued with it regardless. [Days of misfortune make you wary, and you become cautious in everything you do.] [What''s more upsetting is that in the following six months, due to bad luck, the development of your Tarot Commerce Association slows down, even verging on bankruptcy. Jin Congxue spends a great deal of effort to keep Tarot Commerce Association afloat.] [Unfortunately, Jin Congxue, for being too close to you, also starts to become unlucky.] [With no other choice, to avoid those around you from sharing your misfortune, you mostly stay in the Spirit Field Blessed Land by yourself, practicing Cultivation and Alchemy.] [Until one day, the constantly yearned-for Wang Qingxuan finally found you. You were exceptionally delighted, hoping to bring your streak of bad luck to the Descending Sect.] [After one night, Wang Qingxuan took you to meet an Elder of the Descending Sect.] [What you didn''t expect was that the Elder seemed to have taken an immediate dislike to you, hesitating over whether to allow you to join the Descending Sect.] Su Xing, faced with this, felt a flush of embarrassment and complained: "Damn it, when you''re unlucky, even drinking water can get stuck in your teeth... they really might not let me join the Descending Sect?" [Out of options, you had to slightly show off your Alchemy skills, proving that you could concoct Elixirs to enhance others'' strengths, and you hoped to use this skill as a bargaining chip to join the Descending Sect.] [In the end, the Elder agreed to let you join the Descending Sect. After all, Alchemy was indeed very useful to the Sect, and he felt compelled to admit you.] [Because you revealed your Alchemy skills, you soon caught the attention of a certain Damned Zong in the Descending Sect, who wanted you to join his faction.] [Naturally, you knew the game Damned Zong was playing; joining his faction would lead only to a dead end, so you made all kinds of excuses, delaying your commitment to join.] [But you were just a new member of the Descending Sect, while Damned Zong was a mighty protector, against whom you had absolutely no chance of fighting back.] [Just when you thought you had no choice but to betray the Descending Sect, Luo Shuying suggested taking you under her wing, into her faction.] [You were overjoyed and joined Luo Shuying''s faction.] [The next day, you spoke the agreed-upon secret phrase to Luo Shuying, but due to your rotten luck, even she expressed doubt; it took considerable explanations from you before Luo Shuying finally believed you.] [You informed Luo Shuying that your luck was rather poor, so aside from necessary interactions, you hoped to minimize contact with her.] [Luo Shuying gathered all the herbs you needed, and you began concocting the Elixirs.] [The following year, you''d provided the Descending Sect with numerous Elixirs, earning the appreciation of the higher-ups, and succeeded in being promoted to the rank of Elder.] [However, what puzzled you was the fact that most Sect members who consumed your Elixirs ended up getting severely injured or dying on various missions.] [Since joining the Descending Sect a year ago, rather than improving, the overall strength of the Sect had actually declined significantly.] [Fortunately, no one made the eerie connection to you; you continued to take Origin Martial Pills daily for your Cultivation and studied Alchemy.] [With the status of Elder, you enjoyed some freedom within the Sect and decided to explore the Luotian Meeting Instance in your spare time from Alchemy and Cultivation.] Su Xing read this with some anticipation; was he finally about to enter the mysterious Luotian Meeting Instance? But immediately after, Su Xing felt a bit worried. "Damn it, with such bad simulated luck this time, won''t I end up failing in the Luotian Meeting Instance?" Su Xing reassured himself that the Luotian Meeting Instance posed no actual threat to one''s life; there shouldn''t be any problems. Su Xing continued the simulation. [Traversing mountains and rivers, you arrived in Kyoto, the very place where the Luotian Meeting Instance was located.] [Just as you were preparing to enter the instance, the administrator informed you that the Luotian Meeting Instance could only be entered by one person at a time, and booking was required in advance; it was already booked up to a month later.] ``` [With no other choice, you could only schedule an appointment. A month later, you returned to the location of the Luo Tian Meeting Instance.] [This time, you successfully entered the instance.] [The next day, you emerged from the Luo Tian Meeting Instance with nothing but a muddled memory. You gained nothing else.] Su Xing was taken aback upon reading this, a vein popping on his forehead, "Damn it, what does ''nothing but memory'' mean? What exactly did I see in the Luo Tian Meeting Instance? Why would it skip the most crucial part?" Su Xing felt somewhat helpless, realizing that to deeply understand this instance, it seemed he must use immersive simulation to find out what really happened inside. Su Xing continued to read on. [After coming out of the instance, when you wanted to schedule another simulation, you were informed that each person could only enter this instance once a year. With no other options, you could only schedule to enter next year.] [There''s still half a year until your next entry into the Luo Tian Meeting Instance, so you decide to make a trip back to the Descending Sect first.] [Unexpectedly, on your way back, you became a target.] [The individual who had their eyes on you came from the upper echelons of Great Xia. They knew that you were an Elder of the Descending Sect, an organization of traitors to the Human Race. You were personally captured by a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse and taken into military custody.] [Faced with all sorts of torture and interrogation, all you could do was admit that you had joined the Descending Sect as an undercover agent in order to acquire resources from within to contribute to the Human Race.] [The upper echelons of Great Xia did not believe this and demanded evidence, asking who your contact was.] [Naturally, you didn''t have any contact, after all, you were a genuine traitor of the Descending Sect at that moment, though you would betray the sect several years later.] [To prove your innocence, you could only request a private meeting with Lu Yuanwu, because you knew that Lu Yuanwu could not possibly be a traitor to the Human Race.] [You successfully met with Lu Yuanwu and handed over tens of thousands of Elixirs that you had accumulated over the year. After validating the effectiveness of the Elixirs, Lu Yuanwu was pleasantly surprised. He proposed that you join the Great Xia Military and promised you protection.] [You turned down Lu Yuanwu''s offer, because you knew you hadn''t yet achieved your goal; Damned Zong was not dead, and you hadn''t fully drained the Descending Sect of its remaining value.] Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Most importantly, you were worried that joining the Great Xia Military would bring misfortune upon them.] [Hence, you proposed to cooperate with the Great Xia Military, providing them with a batch of Elixirs every three months. However, these Elixirs would only be taken after five years to prevent the discovery of your betrayal of the Descending Sect.] [At the same time, you made your own demands: every three months, the Great Xia Military had to provide you with more than three hundred jin of Heavenly King Level Demonic Beast Flesh Essence in return.] [Lu Yuanwu agreed to your request without much deliberation, as the Flesh Essence of the Demonic Beasts was precious, but it hardly compared to the Elixirs you could provide.] [You successfully returned to the Descending Sect, and everything seemed normal. You continued refining Elixirs daily, but with the help of the Demonic Beast Flesh Essence, your Cultivation Level improved even more rapidly.] [On the third year, you picked an auspicious day and once again arrived in Kyoto under the escort of Luo Shuying, this time prepared to explore the Luo Tian Meeting Instance again!] [After communicating with the instance manager, you were about to enter the Luo Tian Meeting Instance.] Su Xing hastily chanted to himself: "I want to perform immersive simulation!" [Ding! You have successfully initiated immersive simulation, consuming 100,000 energy points. Simulation time: one hour. Remaining energy: 9,098,888 points!] ``` Chapter 97: Chapter 95 Luo Tian Convention! Su Xing felt a wave of dizziness before his eyes, and by the time he regained his senses, he found himself in an unknown environment."What are you spacing out for? Get in there and get out quickly! People are still queuing up behind you!" A uniformed staff member behind him urged, and Su Xing nodded and stepped into the instance transfer array before him. Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. His vision shifted once again, and soon Su Xing realized he had arrived in another space. "The air here is really good~" Su Xing looked at the lush trees around him, free from the urban jungle of steel and concrete; the air was fresh. However, he quickly came to his senses and was utterly astounded. "Holy shit, the Spiritual Energy in the air here is so thick it''s about to overflow! Hiss~ Could this be the Immortal Realm?" Su Xing''s heart was pounding, because even the Spiritual Energy in his Spirit Field Blessed Land was not one-tenth as rich as in this world. "So, this is the place where the Luotian Meeting Instance is located, and I am now on the territory of the Luo Tian Sect?" Su Xing found that a strand of memory had appeared in his mind at some point, clarifying his identity within the Luotian Meeting Instance. "Luo Xiaochuan, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Luo Tian Sect, a young Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage with infinite potential... One of the hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Inner Sect Disciples participating in this Luotian Meeting?" Su Xing voiced his confusion: "Strange, didn''t the instance''s introduction say that Luo Xiaochuan was a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage?" But Su Xing quickly noticed something unusual. That was, this Luo Xiaochuan he had replaced might have a different appearance from his True Form, but his Cultivation Level and realm were exactly the same as his own! Both were Cultivators who had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage, both at the second layer of the Origin Martial Realm! Even the Nine Revolution Golden Core was exactly the same! Su Xing soon realized: "So, this Luo Xiaochuan is not fixed as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his Cultivation Level matches exactly that of the person entering the instance!" "Only because, apart from me, other professionals cannot cultivate, so when they enter this instance, it will only display the lowest level of Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level?" Su Xing was somewhat astonished and marveled again at the mysteries of the Luotian Meeting Instance. "Right now, it seems I have a task to call Little Uncle-Master to participate in the Luotian Meeting?" Su Xing absorbed the memories in his mind and then headed toward the direction of the back mountain. After passing through several deceptive arrays, Su Xing arrived at the back mountain of the Luo Tian Sect. Upon reaching the back mountain, Su Xing was stunned; everywhere were various Spirit Plants, from commonly seen herbs, to Spirit Flowers, to towering ancient trees, which truly broadened his horizons. "Goodness, isn''t that the Bone-Regeneration Flower? It''s said that consuming it can regenerate lost limbs, and even the Return to Void Ancestors covet its existence..." "This is the Enlightenment Tree? Damn it... wasn''t it extinct for several hundred thousand years? How could such a thing still exist... It''s said that cultivating under the Enlightenment Tree could even turn a stupid pig into Marshal Tianpeng, right?" "And these everywhere Essence-Nourishing Herbs, damn it, they''re practically treated like weeds that can be found everywhere..." "Holy shit, is that the Nine Heaven''s Flower!? One of the ingredients for making the Nine Revolution Golden Core that''s rumored to turn one into an immortal if consumed?" Walking along, Su Xing was astonished at every step; the flowers, the grasses, even each piece of stone seemed extraordinary. Su Xing even thought about taking all the flowers, grasses, and stones back home. "Holy shit, if only this place weren''t just a virtual instance!" Su Xing nearly ground his teeth to pieces, knowing that everything in this "Luotian Meeting" instance couldn''t be taken out, which made him more uncomfortable than eating flies. Su Xing, who had remembered 360 different pill recipes from the Li Fire Alchemy and was endowed with the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, recognized many of the plants here. However, the problem was, Su Xing had only recognized a small part of them, and there were even more Spirit Plants whose names he couldn''t call to mind, probably even more mysterious and extraordinary. "Sigh, I should just complete the task first; these Spirit Plants can only serve as a feast for the eyes..." Recalling the additional memories in his mind, Su Xing quickly arrived in front of a thatched cottage on the back mountain. This thatched cottage looked like the most ordinary farmhouse in the mountains, except for the two exceptional ancient trees at the door that kept Su Xing''s gaze fixed, One was the Enlightenment Tree, and the other, still the Enlightenment Tree! "Holy shit, and these flowers at the door, all Gathering Spirit Flowers?" Su Xing''s eyes widened as he looked at the white flowers blanketing the mountains around the thatched cottage, unable to take his eyes off them for a while. All were Gathering Spirit Flowers, and they were all mature! "No wonder the Spiritual Energy on this back mountain is so abundant; just these Gathering Spirit Flowers add up to more than tens of thousands, don''t they?" Su Xing couldn''t help but mutter to himself. Just as Su Xing was mumbling to himself, a warm voice came from behind him. "You are mistaken, Nephew Luo; there are exactly one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers in my back mountain, conforming to the number of the Great Unity..." "The Gathering Spirit Flowers in this back mountain are also the foundation on which my Luo Tian Sect was established. It is precisely because of so many Gathering Spirit Flowers, together with the Great Spirit Gathering Array of my Luo Tian Sect, that we possess such abundant Spiritual Energy, which greatly enhances our cultivation." Quickly turning around, Su Xing saw a plain-looking young man dressed like a farmer standing behind him. But Su Xing didn''t dare be the slightest bit presumptuous, because this young man had an extremely high status, akin to a Grandmaster of the Luo Tian Sect, possessing talent in Alchemy and Spiritual Nurturing, often dressed as a farmer, hidden in this back mountain. "Uncle Shennong, greetings... The Master asked me to invite you to the Luotian Meeting." Su Xing said according to the cues in his recently acquired memories. Chapter 98: Chapter 95: The Luo Tian Conference!_2 This youth was named Shennong Youtian. The name might sound odd but he truly lived up to it, often tilling in the Spirit Field.Upon hearing this, Shennong Youtian nodded and said, S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If that''s the case, then nephew Luo, please lead the way..." Su Xing performed a courtesy and led Shennong Youtian towards the venue of the Luotian Meeting. Along the way, Shennong Youtian chatted with Su Xing, showing the friendly demeanor of a big brother next door. "Nephew Luo has made rapid progress in cultivation in recent years! Not yet a hundred years old and already at the Nascent Soul Stage, and what''s more, cultivating the Nine Revolution Golden Core, plus having a cultivation level in the Origin Martial Realm for Body Refinement. Truly extraordinary!" "Among the tens of thousands of Inner Sect Disciples, you could definitely be considered a leading figure..." Hearing this, Su Xing felt even more astonished. Shennong Youtian had managed to see through his abilities with just a glance, truly immeasurable. Thus, Su Xing hurriedly said, "Oh no, I still need to focus and cultivate more diligently..." Shennong Youtian nodded, then added, "Not arrogant nor impatient, our Luo Tian Sect indeed has a promising future. I wonder, aside from cultivation, do you have any supplementary paths..." By supplementary paths, it referred to Alchemy, Artifact Refining, cultivation of Spirit Plants, Formation, and so on... After pondering, Su Xing modestly said, "I have limited talent, aside from cultivation, I have but a superficial understanding of Alchemy and the Soul-Nurturing Way..." If this were the real world, Su Xing''s skills in Alchemy and nurturing would be unparalleled, after all, in the entire world only he possessed these two methods of cultivation. But in the Luo Tian Sect, where experts were as common as clouds, Su Xing saying he had a superficial understanding was already quite an overstatement. However, Su Xing had his reasons for doing so. As expected, Shennong Youtian''s interest piqued upon hearing Su Xing''s words, and he said, "Oh? Your supplementary paths seem very similar to mine. Let your uncle test your knowledge..." Having said that, Shennong Youtian asked Su Xing several common questions about Alchemy and nurturing. Su Xing answered each one, and although not perfectly, he still showed some insights, mainly due to the significant effort he had put into simulating alchemy over the years. Shennong Youtian sometimes nodded, sometimes frowned, and after a while, he spoke, "I didn''t expect nephew Luo, at your young age, to have delved so deep into the schools of Alchemy. Your insight is on par with Alchemists who have practiced for hundreds of years... However, you still need to strengthen your pathway of nurturing." After speaking, Shennong Youtian showed an expression as if he could offer Su Xing guidance. Seizing the opportunity, Su Xing promptly said, "Uncle, I have indeed encountered a problem recently in the Soul-Nurturing Way... Our Luo Tian Sect possesses such a quantity of Gathering Spirit Flowers, where do they come from, and how are they cultivated?" Indeed, this was Su Xing''s purpose! While Su Xing couldn''t bring physical objects from the instance back to the real world, he could acquire memories. Though Shennong Youtian looked young, he had lived for over a thousand years, and he was the one who had gone the furthest on the path of nurturing within the Luo Tian Sect. If Su Xing could receive guidance from Shennong Youtian, he might truly learn the secrets of cultivating the Gathering Spirit Flower. As expected, after a moment of contemplation, Shennong Youtian said, "You have indeed asked the right person. Regarding the Gathering Spirit Flower, ordinary people would not have the answer! But I have seen the methods for breeding the Gathering Spirit Flower in an ancient text, and although I have not tried it personally, I think it should be feasible... "The Gathering Spirit Flower is a divine gift, extremely delicate. Ordinary people have to cultivate it for ten years to grow it from seed to maturity, and even during cultivation, moisture and sunlight need utmost attention..." "As for the cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Flower, it is said that there are male and female varieties. The female Gathering Spirit Flower has yellow spots in its stamen, while the male does not... And to artificially reproduce the Gathering Spirit Flower, one needs to pollinate the male and female plants on the very day they happen to mature..." Shennong Youtian paused mid-sentence, extended a finger, and pointed towards Su Xing''s glabella. In an instant, a stream of memory entered Su Xing''s mind, the secret to cultivating the Gathering Spirit Flower. "Hiss~ Is this how I obtained the method for cultivating the Gathering Spirit Flower?" For a moment, Su Xing felt as if he was in a dream. He had always struggled due to a lack of Spiritual Energy, and although he had three Gathering Spirit Flowers infusing his Spirit Field Blessed Land with Spiritual Energy, it was ultimately like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water. But if the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers rose to thirty, or even three hundred, and were used exclusively for his cultivation, then he wouldn''t have to worry about insufficient Spiritual Energy at all! Su Xing had never imagined that the problem of insufficient Spiritual Energy that had plagued him for so long could be resolved so easily. At that moment, Su Xing realized the importance of the Luotian Meeting Instance to him. The Luotian Meeting Instance did not allow any physical objects to be taken out, only memories. For the average professional, it indeed offered no help. But for Su Xing, it was the perfect opportunity to have zero-distance contact with the Cultivation World! As long as Su Xing used it properly, he could learn much more about the common knowledge and secrets of the Cultivation World from the Luotian Meeting. Today, he had been taught the cultivation method for the Gathering Spirit Flower; next time, it might be the recipe for an Elixir or even Divine Skills and Cultivation Techniques! As long as Su Xing spent the effort to visit the Luotian Meeting Instance multiple times, his knowledge about the Cultivation World would grow exponentially! "Hiss... This instance is definitely a treasure!" Su Xing''s mood was extremely agitated at that moment. Although the Luotian Meeting Instance could only exist for three years, Su Xing could make multiple visits in the simulator to acquire enough knowledge to arm himself. "Nephew Luo, what are you standing around for? Hurry and keep up," said Shennong Youtian to Su Xing after pointing. Su Xing quickly caught up, still eager to ask Shennong Youtian about other Soul-Nurturing methods. But Shennong Youtian simply shook his head slightly and said, "Nephew, you must understand that biting off more than you can chew is never good..." With a sigh in his heart, Su Xing knew that it wasn''t realistic to continue milking this Shennong uncle for benefits, but the cultivation method for the Gathering Spirit Flower was definitely an unexpected delight. Moreover, in his next simulation, Su Xing could completely utilize immersive simulation again to acquire some other trials! Su Xing quickly arrived at the Luotian Meeting venue with Shennong Youtian. The Luotian Meeting had just begun at this time, and the venue was teeming with people, a sea of heads that was impossible to count, all disciples and Elders of the Luo Tian Sect. Those eligible to participate in the Luotian Meeting were at least Inner Sect Disciples. As for the millions of Luo Tian Sect''s Outer Sect Disciples and disciples from other small sects who came to watch, they could only observe from outside the Sect Gate and couldn''t be in the midst of the Luotian Meeting venue like Su Xing. At this moment, Su Xing looked around curiously, his eyes filled with wonder. The surrounding disciples were all Cultivators, and since Su Xing had always cultivated alone, this was his first time seeing so many Cultivators. Su Xing soon met his mentor, an Elder known as Elder Che, who had a long beard and an aged face. Although his strength wasn''t top-tier among the Elders, he was senior by generation and was considered a fellow apprentice brother of Shennong Youtian. On seeing Su Xing''s return, Elder Che nodded at Su Xing, then casually conversed with Shennong Youtian. With nothing more to do, Su Xing thought of taking this chance to familiarize himself with the Luo Tian Sect, a pinnacle of the Cultivation World. Just then, a notification from the simulator sounded in Su Xing''s ear. [Ding, the current immersive simulation will soon end...] Chapter 99: Chapter 96: Immersive Simulation Ends, Full of Gains! Su Xing heard this voice and quickly said,"Wait, I want to renew!" With gritted teeth, Su Xing said, "Give me another ten hours of immersive simulation time!" [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation, consuming one million points of energy. Simulation time: ten hours. Remaining energy: 8098888 points!] Using up one million energy points for ten hours of immersive simulation time, Su Xing''s heart ached. "Damn it, that''s a whole million energy points! I hope this investigation of the Luotian Meeting instance is worth the cost..." After muttering to himself, Su Xing started to wander within the Luotian Meeting. "Brother Luo, hello!" "Uncle Luo, hello!" As Su Xing walked along, many disciples who passed by greeted him. Su Xing didn''t have information about these people in his memory, but out of politeness, he still nodded and smiled in acknowledgement. "It seems that the Nascent Soul stage holds a high status within Luo Tian Sect!" Su Xing shook his head slightly and quickly denied, "No, it must be because this body broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of a hundred, plus the boost from the Nine Revolution Golden Core and Origin Martial Body Refinement, that I am so respected within the sect." Su Xing estimated that Luo Xiaochuan, at Nascent Soul stage, probably was a star disciple within the sect, and might not be far from being a direct disciple. After all, a Nascent Soul Cultivator has the qualifications to take disciples and teach within the sect, so Su Xing''s generation isn''t considered low. The Luo Tian Sect''s territories were vast, with just the sect''s domain comparable to a city, not to mention the range of its land, which was probably much wider than the entire Blue Star combined. As Su Xing strolled for a while, he found that although there were many rare and precious materials within the mountain gate, there wasn''t anything that sparked his particular interest. But what good is it to see and touch these treasures if you can''t take them out? What''s the use of just looking? "Dammit, didn''t I just waste that one million energy points?" Su Xing grumbled to himself, feeling much like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, with nothing to show for it but disappointment. Just as Su Xing was idly wandering around, he suddenly found himself in front of a majestic building. Looking at the large characters on the palace, Su Xing silently read, "Scripture Pavilion?" "Hiss... Isn''t this the place where cultivation techniques and secret techniques are stored in fantasy novels?" Su Xing''s eyes lit up, he silently noted the location of the Scripture Pavilion, then attempted to walk towards it. As Su Xing was about to enter the Scripture Pavilion, an old woman with a decrepit appearance appeared before him, looked at Su Xing, and said, "Please present your disciple token!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing showed the token at his waist. The old woman nodded and said, "Inner Sect Disciple Luo Xiaochuan, you may go up to the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion." Su Xing quickly entered the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion and saw mountains of books. Rows upon rows of books were placed on the shelves, the tallest of which exceeded ten meters, and the number of shelves was too many to see at a glance. "Holy shit, how many books are there?" After exclaiming, Su Xing couldn''t wait and headed towards the bookshelves. "Fire Attribute Cultivation Technique section, Earth Attribute Cultivation Technique section... "Secret Technique section... Ancestral Biography section... Cultivation General Knowledge section... Cultivation World Secret Transmission section... Body Refinement section... Alchemy section..." Su Xing looked around and saw that each type of cultivation technique was meticulously categorized. Su Xing first headed to the Fire Attribute Cultivation Technique section, since his Spiritual Root was a dual system of wood and fire True Spiritual Root. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, Su Xing had only cultivated Wood Attribute Techniques thus far and should also be able to cultivate Fire Attribute Techniques. "Tsk tsk, so cultivation techniques in the Cultivation World are also divided into Heavenly, Earthly, Profound, and Yellow grades? The first floor merely has the lowest grade, Yellow Grade Techniques... "And Yellow Grade Techniques can only be cultivated up to the Golden Core stage, which seems not very useful to me..." Su Xing didn''t ponder much and moved to the second floor. Soon, on the second floor, Su Xing found a Fire Attribute Technique called the Blazing Flame Decision, which was of the Profound Level and could be cultivated up to the Return to Void Realm. "Not bad, this Blazing Flame Decision has considerable power among Fire Attribute Techniques and can even help strengthen control over flames. It''s a perfect fit for me!" Su Xing attempted to cultivate the Blazing Flame Decision. After several hours passed, Su Xing gave up his attempt to cultivate it with some frustration. "Profound Level Techniques can''t be memorized in just a moment. Besides the text, there are also special diagrams for the circulation of Spiritual Energy, which are quite complicated. To memorize it all would take at least several days of study..." Sighing, Su Xing returned the Blazing Flame Decision to its place, already having an idea in his mind. "Perhaps, after I acquire a talent for memory, or after six or seven sessions of immersive simulation, I might manage to remember this technique..." Su Xing sighed. If he had to rely on the number of immersive simulations to brute-force a technique, Even if each session lasted twenty-four hours at the cost of 2.4 million points, to fully memorize a Profound Level technique, the energy cost would be at least tens of millions. Clearly, that would be somewhat a loss not worth the gain. With this thought, it seemed that the Changchun Technique also belonged to the Profound Level... Su Xing nodded slightly and then walked away from the cultivation technique area. "Time is limited, there''s no way I can memorize cultivation techniques now, but I can first take a look at some ancient tomes about common knowledge in the cultivation world..." Su Xing spent several more hours heading to the common knowledge area of the cultivation world, reading some records about the common knowledge of the cultivation realm. However, time was short, and Su Xing could only skim through the materials. Seeing that time was about to run out, Su Xing gritted his teeth and said to the simulator, "Extend the immersive simulation time by another eleven hours." [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation, consuming 1.1 million points of energy, simulating for 11 hours, with 6,998,888 points of energy remaining!] Su Xing felt a pang of heartache. Although he wasn''t short of simulation energy now, this rate of consumption was problematic! In one instance of the Luotian Meeting, Su Xing directly maxed out the immersive simulation duration, simulating 24 hours and spending 2.4 million points of energy. Of course, all this was worth it. Not to mention that just the cultivation method of the Gathering Spirit Flower was worth all that energy. Besides, coming to the Luotian Meeting instance to read these books on common knowledge of the cultivation realm significantly increased Su Xing''s insight into the cultivation world, all of which were subtle benefits. "Phew, eleven more hours. Which area should I go to last?" Su Xing had never realized he loved reading so much that he never spent 24 hours in the library even when he took his college entrance exams. "Perhaps I could go take a look in the Body Refinement area..." After some thought, Su Xing felt that his method of Body Refinement was completely unconventional: reliant first on consumption, second on practice, and lacking any Body Refining Techniques. His own constitution had been built up solely with all kinds of elixirs, Demonic Beasts'' Flesh Essence, and his innate talent. That Su Xing had cultivated to the Origin Martial Realm through unconventional methods was nothing short of miraculous. Soon, Su Xing arrived at the Body Refinement area. He did not rush to seek out Body Refining Techniques, but first read a basic Body Refinement book called "Introductory Must-Knows for Body Refinement Cultivators". The first chapter of this book began with the sentence, "Only those with great perseverance can practice Body Refinement!" The book detailed the painful process of Body Refinement. Compared to Qi Refinement, Body Refinement Cultivators were more primal and better at enduring the tedious polishing of the body. "Huh, Body Refinement Cultivators originated from the ancient Witch Clan''s cultivation methods, which have been improved and continuously passed down, hence the present-day Body Refinement Cultivators..." Su Xing was taken aback; this was a secret he had never heard before, with Body Refinement Cultivators tracing their origins to the ancient Witch Clan! "I wonder if this Witch Clan, and the Witch Clan from the myths in my previous life, belong to the same system?" Su Xing frowned slightly, feeling that some of the legends in this cultivation realm seemed to have some connection with the mythologies from his former life. Su Xing continued reading. "Body Refinement Cultivators may choose one technique to practice, yet unlike Qi Cultivation Cultivators, once a technique is chosen, it cannot be changed for life. Therefore, the quality of a Body Refinement Cultivator''s technique is particularly crucial!" "Without a top-tier Body Refining Technique, it''s better not to use one at all, simply using the most primitive methods of improving one''s physique can also be..." Su Xing spent an hour or two to finish reading this basic book for Body Refinement Cultivators. To his surprise, he discovered there were two types of Body Refinement Cultivators: the first is through practicing Body Refining Techniques, the main advantage of which is speed, as the cultivation rate is more than ten times that of Body Refinement Cultivators who do not practice techniques. However, the disadvantage is that the technique cannot be altered. Once a low-grade technique has been chosen, the ultimate achievements and cultivation are limited, making it a method heavily reliant on the quality of the technique. And the second type of Body Refinement Cultivator seeks to emulate the Ancient Witch Clan, relying on their innate talent for body refinement and precious natural treasures to strengthen their bodies, requiring long years of relentless honing. The downside of this method is its slow speed, but its advantages include a high ceiling and, after finding a suitable cultivation technique, the complete flexibility to switch cultivation methods at any time. "Looking at it this way, I should be considered the second type of Body Refinement Cultivator, much like a piece of raw jade that has not yet been polished..." Su Xing''s thoughts stirred, and he muttered to himself, "Without a superior Body Refining Technique, it''s indeed less effective than brute force training!" Su Xing quickly discovered that there were methods to increase efficiency even when following the Ancient Witch Clan''s style of body refinement. "Consuming the essence of Demonic Beasts'' blood and flesh supplemented by elixirs, one''s cultivation speed can be doubled, and by emulating the Ancient Witch Clan''s body refining methods, the speed of body refinement can be greatly enhanced!" Su Xing''s eyes brightened, and he hastily recorded the Witch Clan''s body refinement methods described in the book. This method was not difficult, merely some conventional ways of developing strength, constantly tempering the body, but combined with a few specific movements, one could vastly increase the speed of body refinement! "This is exactly what I need!" Su Xing could not stop smiling as he spent several more hours recording the Witch Clan''s body refinement movements and their common dietary methods. After completing all these tasks, there was just less than an hour left. In the last moments of his time, Su Xing opened an ancient tome titled "Detailed Analysis of Origin Force Usage." This book mainly discussed how to use Origin Force more effectively and even touched upon how to enhance the intensity of Origin Force. Unfortunately, Su Xing was short on time, and after a quick glance through the book, his immersive simulation time came to an end. "What a pity, if only I had enough time, I might have been able to understand the cultivation of Origin Force as well." Su Xing sighed, regretting that time was insufficient and he would have to wait until the next simulation to learn more. As the scenery before his eyes shifted, Su Xing''s consciousness returned to the real world. Although an entire day had passed in Su Xing''s perception, less than a minute had gone by in the real world. Su Xing drank a few sips of crisp spring water to fully recover from the immersive simulation. "This immersive simulation really paid off big time!" Su Xing felt jubilant. Although it cost over two million energy, he had acquired the propagation method for Gathering Spirit Flowers, gained an understanding of some common knowledge in the Cultivation World, and even discovered a better way of body refinement. This knowledge was totally worth the cost! With this thought, Su Xing chuckled wryly and said, "It seems that each simulation, especially the immersive simulations, will be a considerable expense! By this account, I''m still short on energy." Su Xing sighed and turned his gaze back to the simulation interface. [You exit the Luotian Meeting Instance, feeling you have gained a lot from it, and you promptly return to the Descending Sect.] [With your return, the entire Descending Sect starts to experience misfortune again, as one of the protector-level powerhouses of the sect dies unexpectedly while carrying out a mission in an instance, perishing far from home.] [This is the first time in decades that a protector-level powerhouse has died in the Descending Sect, but no one connects this event to you.] [In the following days, you continue your daily routine of alchemy and cultivation within the walls of the Descending Sect, occasionally going out to deliver the elixirs you''ve crafted to the Great Xia Military in exchange for enough Flesh Essence to sustain your cultivation.] Chapter 100: Chapter 97: The Terrifying Bad Luck Talent, A Walking Nuclear Weapon! [Gradually, you realize that the elixirs you''ve been concocting don''t actually carry the curse of bad luck; it''s you who are the unlucky one. Wherever you go, misfortune seems to befall those around you.][Thus, you feel even more justified in staying within the Descending Sect, hoping to bring your own bad luck upon them.] [In the fourth year, you still practice Body Refinement every day and even begin concocting Soul Condensing Pills.] [That year, the Descending Sect loses two Elder-level figures to death.] [In the fifth year, having ample Flesh Essence and adopting the Body Cultivation methods of the Witch Clan, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level successfully breaks through to the third layer of the Origin Martial Realm.] [That year, the Descending Sect loses a Protector-level figure.] [In the sixth year, you continue concocting Soul Condensing Pills; over the course of the year, you produce hundreds of batches, with nearly three hundred pills turning out successfully. You feel your technique is ever improving.] [That year, two Protectors lead several Elders on a covert assassination mission at Demon-Subduing Pass against the Human Race''s disciples. They are mistaken for foes by the Foreign Race, and all participating Protectors and Elders are killed, while Damned Zong suffers severe injuries. But, with an abundance of life-saving tricks up his sleeve, he narrowly escapes death and manages to cling on to life.] Su Xing nearly bursts into laughter at this; with his innate bad luck, he''s practically a walking nuclear bomb! "Goodness, I''ve done nothing but stay inside the Descending Sect, and nearly half of their Protectors and Elders are dead, right? If I stay a bit longer, won''t the entire Descending Sect be finished?" "The only pity is that Damned Zong somehow managed to escape with his life. That guy is really cautious!" Su Xing sighs and continues the simulation. [In the seventh year, you further improve your technique of concocting Soul Condensing Pills and hand over all the hundreds of pills you produce to Luo Shuying, hoping to boost her and her tribespeople''s strength.] [Luo Shuying graciously accepts and wishes to invite you for a meal to express her thanks, but you swiftly decline, fearing that your bad luck might spread to Luo Shuying.] [That year, only one Elder of the Descending Sect dies.] [In the eighth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level progresses further, and you become a fourth layer Origin Martial Realm cultivator.] [Whenever you have nothing to do, you take a few laps in front of Damned Zong''s door, hoping to keep passing on your bad luck to him.] [In the ninth year, your skill in concocting Soul Condensing Pills further improves, with nearly a fifty percent success rate, and you master the art of concocting these pills to a minor degree of proficiency.] [That same year, Damned Zong nearly dies from an accident during cultivation, vomiting three pounds of blood.] "Holy shit, how tough is Damned Zong''s luck? Vomiting three pounds of blood and still not dead?!" Su Xing''s eyes widen as he silently prays for a curse to finish off Damned Zong, so he can inherit his wealth. "Keep up the effort. The moment Damned Zong dies, I''ll snatch up all his wealthit''s like killing without lifting a finger!" Su Xing continues the simulation. [In the tenth year, you spend a year concocting Soul Condensing Pills, using up the last piece of Condensing Spirit Wood.] ``` [In the eleventh year, you began trying to craft mid-grade elixirs, the Turtle Breath Pill. The Turtle Breath Pill is an enhanced version of the Breath Concealing Pill. It is said that even cultivators of the Mahayana level cannot discern the true cultivation level of one who has consumed a top-quality Turtle Breath Pill. You thought this elixir would be well-suited for the cautious you and thus began its crafting.] [The crafting of the Turtle Breath Pill required a special herb known as Turtle Spirit Stone, said to be formed from the shell of a thousand-year-old Demon King tortoise upon its death.] [You asked Luo Shuying to help you find this herb in the treasury of the Descending Sect, but alas, the Turtle Spirit Stone was not found.] [Having no alternative, you contacted the Great Xia Military, hoping they could help you find the Turtle Spirit Stone.] [To your surprise, after several months, Lu Yuanwu actually brought you a good amount of Turtle Spirit Stones, and so you began crafting the Turtle Breath Pills.] [It took you one year to successfully get a grasp of crafting Turtle Breath Pills. Although the pills you crafted were of poor quality and not as miraculous as the formula described, they were already sufficient to conceal your aura from the eyes of a seasoned Divinity Transformation cultivator like Damned Zong.] [A thought crossed your mind, and you decided to sneak into Damned Zong''s home and hide.] [You took Turtle Breath Pills daily to ensure your aura remained undetected by Damned Zong, and surprisingly, you managed to fool him.] [Damned Zong''s luck continued to worsen. You even saw him tripping over his left foot with his right, tumbling face first into the dirt.] [At night, Damned Zong often had bad dreams, looking dispirited and lacking the prestige he once had as a cultivator of Divinity Transformation.] [Overjoyed, you prepared to add fuel to the fire, intending to completely ruin Damned Zong.] [In the twelfth year, your cultivation level successfully broke through to the fifth layer of the Origin Martial Realm.] [One day, while hiding under Damned Zong''s bed, you heard him talking to himself, saying he was cursed with a hex. Hence, Damned Zong planned to flee far away to escape this strange curse.] [The next day, Damned Zong left the Descending Sect for an unknown destination.] [That same year, Luo Shuying''s homeland was overrun by a Foreign Race, and thousands from the Spirit Race sought refuge on Blue Star.] "Holy shit, isn''t Damned Zong too wretched?! He actually fucking ran away?" Su Xing, feeling thwarted, slapped his thigh in frustration. He was so close to seeing Damned Zong meet his demise, but the guy turned out to be even more cautious than he had anticipated! "However, the Descending Sect is nearly done for because of my meddling, so there''s no rush," said Su Xing as he continued with his simulation. [In the thirteenth year, the Great Xia Military saw the emergence of tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level powerhouses and even several hundred Heavenly King Level powerhouses, all due to your continuous supply of elixirs.] [The Descending Sect should have been aware of all this and conducted a thorough investigation. However, having suffered great losses over the years, they were truly incapable of attending to the matter and thus you were not suspected or investigated.] [That year, you continued your cultivation, busy with alchemy, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with you.] [In the fourteenth year, another great calamity befell the Descending Sect, resulting in the demise of all remaining protectors and elders.] Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [That same year, internal strife arose within the Descending Sect. A fight broke out between the leaders of the Nature Faction and the Zealot Faction. Unexpectedly, the leader of the Zealot Faction accidentally killed the leader of the Nature Factiona Legendary Level powerhouseon the spot. Suddenly, the entire Descending Sect began to crumble, teetering on the brink of collapse.] Su Xing burst into laughter when he saw this. The leader of the faction within the Descending Sect was a true big shot, a Legendary Level powerhouse. ``` Just like that, killed because of the internal strife within the sect? "This... such bad luck talent is too abnormal, isn''t it?" Su Xing felt somewhat shocked in his heart. If only this ill luck could continue to follow the Descending Sect. Unfortunately, the side effects of this talent were too severe, and Su Xing''s frail body couldn''t withstand it at all! What if he was the one to suffer a deadly misfortune? If he died in the simulation, that would be the end of it, but in reality, Su Xing had only one life, right? "So, should I bring this bad luck talent out or not?" Su Xing fell into deep thought. "Forget it, I''ll just simulate it first. If I keep hesitating, I might start suffering from decision paralysis..." Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [In the fifteenth year, the overall strength of the Descending Sect declined. Countless sect members were severely wounded or killed, leaving only a few leaders of several factions, each becoming a commander without soldiers, and the Descending Sect''s influence on the Human Race greatly reduced.] [In the same year, you, along with Luo Shuying, raided the treasury of the Descending Sect. Unfortunately, you were discovered by the treasury''s guardian, Dragon Protector. Luo Shuying broke through to become a Legendary Level fighter on the spot, and you and Luo Shuying narrowly escaped with your lives.] [After defecting from the Descending Sect, you and Luo Shuying prepared to join the Great Xia Military, but you feared that your talent would bring misfortune upon the entire Great Xia Military, so you could only find a place to go into hiding.] [On a daily basis, you continued your cultivation, and you also crafted elixirs for the Great Xia Military while obtaining enough Flesh Essence of Demonic Beasts.] [In the sixteenth year, your Cultivation Level made a further breakthrough, reaching the sixth layer of the Origin Martial Realm.] [In the seventeenth year, you improved the previously crafted Fasting Pill prescription, adding a tiny amount of Demonic Beast Flesh Essence into the Fasting Pill. The efficacy of the Fasting Pill greatly increased, allowing even Grandmaster Level professionals to fast for three months without feeling hunger.] [In the eighteenth year, another year of diligent cultivation, your strength continued to increase steadily. However, as your Body Refinement Cultivation Level kept improving, you found that the Flesh Essence of Demon Kings was becoming less and less effective for you.] [You attempted to obtain the Flesh Essence of Demon Emperors from the Great Xia Military. Unfortunately, the Flesh Essence of Demon Emperors was extremely rare. However, because your status was sufficient, a Legendary General who guarded the Demon-Subduing Pass was willing to keep an eye out for you. Should the opportunity arise, he would provide you with the Flesh Essence of Demon Emperors.] [In the nineteenth year, the Demonic Beast Flesh Essence you consumed daily increased to five jin, and Spirit Rice grew to twenty jin, and you regularly took Origin Martial Pills, with your Body Refinement Cultivation Level still increasing steadily.] [In the twentieth year, you still had not obtained the Flesh Essence of Demon Emperors, but thanks to the talent of your massive appetite, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level continued to increase steadily, and you felt yourself getting closer to breaking through to the seventh layer of the Origin Martial Realm.] [In the twenty-first year, you successfully broke through to become a seventh-layer cultivator of the Origin Martial Realm.] [During the same year, the situation at the Demon-Subduing Pass dramatically worsened. Two faction leaders from the Descending Sect personally took action, cooperating with the Foreign Race to launch a surprise attack on the Demon-Subduing Pass. In a single night, hundreds of Heavenly King Level experts perished, and two Legendary Level fighters were killed in action.] Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow, muttering to himself: "Is the Descending Sect planning a fight to the death? The sect is indeed on the brink of extinction, but there are still a few top-tier experts. I didn''t expect them to become so desperate!" Su Xing sighed. This was unexpected for him. He had thought that the Descending Sect''s near annihilation would extend the time of the apocalypse by a few more years. Instead, it had plunged the Demon-Subduing Pass into crisis. "Wait... Could my bad luck be affecting the Great Xia Military?" Su Xing suddenly considered this possibility. Although he had tried to avoid contact with the Great Xia Military in the simulator, it was inevitable that bad luck could have an impact. "This talent really is not easy to control!" Su Xing sighed, thinking that if he could freely control this bad luck talent, it would be a killing stroke, but unfortunately, he couldn''t. Su Xing continued the simulation. [In the twenty-second year, the battle between the Human Race and Demonic Beasts inside Demon-Subduing Pass intensified. Martial Emperor Level professionals began to die frequently. And as you wished, you obtained a piece of the Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence.] [After consuming the Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor, you only felt an abundance of energy within your body nearly bursting out. Fortunately, your physical body was tough enough, and the talent of your massive appetite crazily helped you digest the Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor.] [With the aid of the Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence, your Cultivation Level progressed by leaps and bounds. If you could consume this Flesh Essence every day, you would most likely break through your current realm in just a year or two.] [Unfortunately, you didn''t have enough time for cultivation. Under the relentless fierce attacks of the Demonic Beasts, the Demon-Subduing Pass fell, and the Human Race was on the brink of extinction.] [In the same year, a giant beast descended upon the real world and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country.] [You died!] [Your talent for dying regretfully activated, and you saw nothing but darkness...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing''s brows were tightly knitted. He had never expected that the time of the apocalypse''s arrival would be even earlier than before, by a few days. "Sigh, it doesn''t matter. I''m fortunate that these two years don''t make a difference... I gained enough from this simulation!" Su Xing sighed. The greatest gains from this simulation came from the memories he brought from the immersive simulation of the Luotian Meeting Instance. "Holy shit, I just remembered, what if all three of my Gathering Spirit Flowers are either male or female? Wouldn''t that mean they can''t reproduce?" Su Xing''s face turned sour as he quickly checked the sex of the three Gathering Spirit Flowers. Fortunately, Su Xing discovered tiny yellow spots on the pistil of one of the Gathering Spirit Flowers. "Thank goodness, two male Gathering Spirit Flowers and one female. This is completely suitable for pollination and breeding!" Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief. After resolving the major issue with the Gathering Spirit Flowers, Su Xing fell into contemplation again. "This bad luck talent, to take it or not, really is a bit troublesome!" Chapter 101: Chapter 98: Life Simulator 3.0 Version, a new batch of energy mediums! ```"If this unfortunate talent could be applied properly, the destruction it could cause would definitely surpass the scope of a blue talent, but for me right now, it''s more harmful than beneficial..." "But if I miss out on this talent now, it will be much harder to draw it again in the future!" As Su Xing hesitated, the prompt from the simulator rang in his ears. [Ding, the 3.0 version update of Life Simulator is coming soon!] [This update requires 10 million simulator energy! The following new features will be added:] [1. Add purple epic talent options, significantly increasing the strength of talents!] [2. Add a talent accumulation pool feature, all previously experienced talents will be entered into the pool, and you can exchange them for energy at any time when needed.] After hearing the simulator''s prompt, Su Xing''s eyes lit up, and he muttered: "This update notice couldn''t have come at a better time... In this case, there''s no need to be torn!" "This bad luck talent, although powerful enough to be comparable to a humanoid nuclear weapon, is still beyond my control at this stage. Perhaps it won''t be too late to choose it once I can fully harness this misfortune." Clearly, the bad luck talent had too many side effects for Su Xing at this stage, which was detrimental to his early development. He could only temporarily store it in the "little black room," waiting until the right moment to make his choice. With this in mind, Su Xing stopped hesitating and turned his attention to the rewards of this simulation. [I Can''t Be the Only Unlucky One]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points. [Seventh Layer of the Origin Martial Realm]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 5 million energy points. [Twenty-Two Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including the experiences of the following elixirs: Origin Martial Pill (Major Achievement), Soul Condensing Pills (Minor Achievement), Turtle Breath Pills (Minor Achievement), Fasting Pill (Perfection), priced at 1 million energy points. [10 Pounds of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence]: The essence of a Demon Emperor, containing a vast amount of life force, priced at 10 million energy points. [Two Mature Gathering Spirit Flowers]: Priced at 200,000 energy points. "Goodness, flesh essence of a Demon Emperor tier, with one pound valued at a million energy, isn''t that a bit too expensive?" Su Xing shook his head slightly. It seemed that in the future, exchanging for flesh essence from the simulator could be ruled out. However, once he became stronger, flesh essence could indeed become a good option for exchanging energy. Without much hesitation, Su Xing spoke up: "I choose to exchange for the Seventh Layer of the Origin Martial Realm cultivation level, as well as twenty-two years of alchemy experience!" [You have chosen to take out the Seventh Layer of the Origin Martial Realm Cultivation Level, spending 5 million energy points, remaining energy 1,999,888 points.] [You have chosen to take out twenty-two years of alchemy experience, spending 1 million energy points, remaining energy 999,888 points.] The prompt sound reached Su Xing''s ears, followed by two mysterious forces descending upon him. Su Xing''s mind was filled with many alchemy memories, scenes of him striving day and night to refine elixirs during the simulation! As the memories flooded in, Su Xing''s skill in crafting Soul Condensing Pills finally broke through to the minor achievement level, ensuring a success rate of over fifty percent. With the help of sufficient Soul Condensing Pills, his Divine Sense Realm was about to enter a period of rapid growth. Furthermore, Su Xing''s understanding of the Fasting Pills also reached a perfect level. He was now capable of refining improved Fasting Pills with a one hundred percent rate of producing the finest quality. The Turtle Breath Pill also became the second type of mid-grade elixir that Su Xing mastered. Thus, Su Xing''s alchemy skills saw a significant increase after one simulation. However, compared to his alchemy skills, Su Xing''s Body Refinement Cultivation Level increased even more rapidly. When the energy containing the cultivation level descended on Su Xing, his strength surged in a short time, and his aura increased astonishingly. Third level of the Origin Martial Realm... Fifth level... Seventh level! In just a few breaths, Su Xing''s Body Refinement realm jumped up five levels! Feeling the explosive increase of strength within his body, Su Xing was somewhat elated for a moment. "Holy shit, I feel like one punch from me could collapse a small mountain. How much farther do I have to go until the Divinity Transformation Stage with my current strength?" Su Xing''s face flushed with excitement. His strongest attack method should belong to Li Fire, considering Li Fire could cause fatal damage to Grandmasters and Grandmaster Level professionals. But having reached the seventh level of the Origin Martial Realm, Su Xing felt an unprecedented sense of power. He estimated that his strength had even doubled! The explosive increase in strength in a short time made Su Xing feel light-headed again, so he began to self-brainwash. "Trash! I''m such trash! I can''t even beat Damned Zong, so what right do I have to get cocky?" "Be a little more steady, hold back from being reckless!" Su Xing went through a round of self-criticism as was his routine. After a few minutes, he let out a long sigh and became cautious again. Realizing the benefits of this simulation, Su Xing started to worry a little. "Sigh, this energy really doesn''t last long, just one simulation, and it''s cost me over eight million points!" "The improvement in cultivation is indeed exhilarating, but the energy required is way too much... This is just the Origin Martial Realm, and breaking through one small level requires one million energy points. Wouldn''t the entire Origin Martial Realm need tens of millions of points?" "According to this trend, after the Origin Martial Realm, the Divine Strength Realm will require even more energy! Even a small realm might need tens of millions of energy points!" Su Xing sighed again. The energy comes fast, but it goes even faster! "Wait, I need ten million energy points just to unlock the epic level talents, but right now I only have a mere one million points. I must obtain enough energy in a short time to unlock the 3.0 version of the simulator... But with the speed I''m spending energy, unlocking the simulator in a short time is basically impossible!" ``` Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 102: Chapter 98: Life Simulator 3.0 Version, A New Batch of Energy Mediums!_2 Thinking of this, Su Xing suddenly felt a toothache coming on.To ensure a rapid increase in strength, one must spend a great deal of energy. But spending energy means you can''t unlock more functions on the simulator... The contradiction between short-term gains and long-term benefits seemed irreconcilable. With a grit of his teeth, Su Xing decided: "Damn it, cutting costs is out of the question! If the speed of increasing my Cultivation Level slows down, what''s the point? Only by finding new sources can I barely maintain my current way of life!" Looking at the less than one million energy he had left on hand, Su Xing made a phone call to Jin Congxue. "Hello, Little Snow!" "What''s up, busy man? What''s got you free enough to call me?" Jin Congxue''s languid voice came through, with the sparse sound of running water in the background, as if she were bathing. Su Xing oddly thought of a joke he had seen before: If a girl replies to your messages while she''s taking a shower, it means you''re really important to her. "Ahem, so... Little Snow, can you deliver the goods from Lingyun Commerce Guild ahead of schedule? I''m in a bit of a hurry over here!" sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing returned to the matter at hand, asking hastily. According to what Jin Congxue had said, the Lingyun Commerce Guild should still have a large stockpile of goods to deliver over, she said it was a large sum, but Su Xing had no idea exactly how much. Jin Congxue chuckled, teasing: "What, aren''t all those pieces of equipment you collected last time enough for you? How much more do you need to eat?" Su Xing chuckled, saying, "Of course, the more the better! You know I have a big appetite!" Jin Congxue rolled her eyes, saying, "Come on, gathering goods from all over the country takes time, okay? There are more than a dozen branches of Lingyun Commerce Guild across the country. To move all their goods to Kyoto and take inventory, it would take at least half a month..." Half a month? Su Xing couldn''t wait that long. So Su Xing shamelessly pleaded, "Please, big sis, can you help me out? Could you possibly move most of the goods to Kyoto this week?" Hearing this, Jin Congxue sighed and said, "Sigh, does someone have no conscience at all! I''ve been running around like crazy recently, and just when I''m done with the acquisitions, the big boss is giving me more work? Can''t you give me a break? You''re not supposed to exploit your employees like this!" Su Xing quickly consoled her, saying, "Hehe, come on, big sis, please help me out! When this batch of equipment is transported over, I''ll treat you to a meal!" After giving it some thought, Jin Congxue replied: "Alright then, I''ll be busy for a bit longer, trying to get the goods to Kyoto as soon as possible. Come over in a few days to check on them, okay?" Su Xing nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, thanks a lot, sis!" After hanging up the phone, Su Xing let out a long breath of relief. If the number of pieces of equipment in this batch was sufficient, Su Xing would have enough energy to update the simulator, even without much waiting. "Sigh, just endure a little longer, refine a few more Elixirs, and only then can I gather more energy!" Su Xing sighed, first spending an hour cultivating Spirit Plants, and then plunged into the tedious task of Alchemy. In just a week, Su Xing transformed into a tireless worker, full of drive, and refined a total of six thousand Elixirs. Su Xing also took the time to test the strength he had achieved after reaching the seventh level of the Origin Martial Realm at the strength training gym. A whopping two and a half million pounds of sheer strength! This was Su Xing''s pure physical strength without using Origin Force, and after using Origin Force, his strength surged to three million pounds! While the increase in strength wasn''t as great as he had imagined, a doubling, it was still a good seventy to eighty percent increase! In the Origin Martial Realm, the most crucial aspect was the application of Origin Force, but sadly, Su Xing had not yet fully mastered it and could only wait to learn more about Origin Force on his next visit to the Luotian Meeting Instance. Soon a week passed. That day, Su Xing finished packing up the Elixirs he had refined and had booked a VIP room at a restaurant in advance, inviting Jin Congxue over. At noon, Jin Congxue arrived on time. Today, Jin Congxue was wearing a red dress with matching fiery red lips, looking exceptionally tempting. "Yo, busy man, you''re really treating me to a meal today? I''m truly flattered!" Jin Congxue winked playfully as she spoke. Su Xing scratched his head and said, "Ahem, of course! I''ve ordered all the dishes, they''re all your favorites!" The meal was soon over, and both parties quickly got down to business. (Ahem, don''t get the wrong idea). Jin Congxue took out several Storage Rings and handed them to Su Xing, saying: "Here you go, boss. These are all the things you wanted! They''re the goods brought from the various branches of Lingyun Commerce Guild. "Apart from the white equipment you asked for, there are also quite a few green and blue ones, almost four million items in total!" "Of course, this batch isn''t just equipment, but also some unprocessed exotic metals, skill scrolls that professionals need, potions, and various odd items obtained from different instances. You can check them yourself." After pausing, Jin Congxue said coquettishly: "Boss, you have no idea, I''ve been running all over the country these past few days, and my legs are nearly worn out, one meal isn''t enough, you know!" After hearing this, Su Xing blinked and looked at Jin Congxue''s fair, toned legs, his mind short-circuited, and he said: "How about I give you a massage? I''m pretty skilled at that!" Jin Congxue thought for a moment and actually stretched out her leg, saying: "Alright then, I''d be honored to have a massage from the boss!" The VIP room was filled with the promise of spring. Chapter 103: Chapter 98: Life Simulator 3.0 Version, A New Batch of Energy Mediums!_3 After experiencing a pure, green massage, Su Xing returned to school in the afternoon and couldn''t wait to enter Spirit Field Blessed Land.Looking at the cargo filled with several storage rings, Su Xing couldn''t hide his excitement. "Goodness, how much energy must this batch of goods be worth?" Su Xing swallowed and began to convert the goods into simulated energy batch by batch. [Ding, detected 3.84 million pieces of white-quality equipment, valued at 20.77 million energy points, convert to simulated energy?] "Yes!" Su Xing agreed without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye, over 20 million energy points appeared on his simulation panel. And this was just the energy value of the first batch of white equipment! Su Xing continued to take out the rings filled with green-quality equipment. [Detected 130,000 pieces of green-quality equipment, valued at 6.08 million energy points, convert?] "Yes!" Whoosh, another six million energy points instantly appeared on Su Xing''s simulation panel. The green-quality equipment, on average, contained nearly 50 points of energy each, but they were too expensive, with a market price of nearly 20,000 points per piece, making their cost-performance only half that of the white-quality equipment. That''s why Su Xing usually wouldn''t use green-quality equipment to exchange for energy. Only considering that this batch was stockpiled by Lingyun Commerce Guild and slightly cheaper, and even if Su Xing were to sell them, he would probably have to wait for several months, then use all the money from the sales to purchase white-quality equipment. In the end, while he would get even more energy, it was too time-consuming and somewhat counterproductive. Su Xing then turned his attention to the blue-quality equipment. [Detected 20,000 pieces of blue-quality equipment, valued at 9.85 million energy points, convert?] "Yes!" Su Xing said without any hesitation. Each piece of blue-quality equipment contained about 500 points of energy, but their market price was over ten times that of the green-quality equipment, making the cost-performance even lower. However, Su Xing didn''t bother to wait and directly converted them into energy. After successfully converting all four million pieces of equipment into energy, Su Xing shifted his gaze toward the storage ring filled with potions. [Ding, detected 10,000 low-grade recovery potions, valued at five million energy points, convert?] Hearing this prompt, Su Xing sighed and shook his head, "Cancel conversion!" The low-grade recovery potions were nearly 500,000 per vial on the professional trader''s market, and each was only worth 500 energy points, meaning that converting a thousand dollars would yield just one point of energy, which was still too low a cost-performance. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, low-grade recovery potions could save the lives of Gold-ranked professionals at critical moments, naturally making them very expensive. Su Xing had no plans to convert this batch of potions into energy; instead, he planned to return them to Jin Congxue to be sold in the commerce guild. Su Xing took out the storage ring containing first-order exotic metals. [Ding, detected 136 tons of first-order exotic metals, valued at 2.72 million points of simulated energy, convert?] "Yes!" Su Xing didn''t hesitate much; the exotic metals'' energy conversion cost-performance was close to that of white-quality equipment, making them one of the most worthwhile mediums for energy conversion. After converting tens of millions of points of simulated energy, Su Xing''s gaze fell onto the last storage ring. This storage ring contained various odd and peculiar items produced in the instance dungeon. Many items produced in the dungeon had unclear uses and were often recycled as trash to the commerce guild by some professionals. Su Xing had not been hopeful about converting much energy from them, but to his surprise, these odd and peculiar instance dungeon items gave him a massive pleasant surprise in their energy value! [Ding, detected some energy-containing materials, valued at 11.86 million energy points, convert?] Chapter 104: Chapter 99: Purple Talent, A Sudden Epiphany by Chance! Su Xing paused upon hearing the notification, and said with some disbelief,"The garbage produced in these instances actually contains so much energy?" Su Xing opened his storage ring and examined the instance dungeon items. He found the instance dungeon items to be extremely quirky. "Underwear used by Witch Lillian"... Lady Aleya''s hairpin... feathers from an unknown bird species... expired Dove chocolate spread... highly effective stain-removing laundry detergent... a necrotic, unidentified pet egg... From everyday items to the small gifts given by certain NPCs in instances, to body parts of instance bosses, they were odd in every conceivable way. These strange instance dungeon items were known to professionals as instance garbage. This wasn''t without reason because these items were in huge quantities, of unknown use, yet always treated as treasures by daydreamers who nurtured the fantasy of "finding a peerless treasure in a pile of trash." Those professionals who harbored unrealistic dreams and bought items from instances were affectionately called "trash lords." Because these bizarre instance dungeon items were so cheap it was almost pitiable, saying they were sold by weight wasn''t much of an exaggeration. An item of "instance garbage" could range in price from a hundred to a few thousand Great Xia Coins each, and they were available in large quantities. Su Xing estimated that there were at least a million pieces of "instance garbage" in his Storage Ring, and calculating an average price of less than a thousand per item, their market value would be around ten billion Great Xia Coins. But it was this instance garbage, valued at merely ten billion, that contained an energy close to twelve million points! On average, one hundred and thirty to forty Great Xia Coins could be exchanged for one point of energy! This price-performance ratio was even five percent higher than when Su Xing had exchanged white-quality equipment for energy! "Hiss, this way, acquiring instance garbage to exchange for energy sounds very promising!" Su Xing''s eyes lit up; the energy contained in these instance dungeon items was uncertain, but through massive acquisitions, out of tens of thousands of items, there would always be hundreds that contained a significant amount of energy. Additionally, since there was such an abundance of instance garbage, buying them in large quantities wouldn''t raise suspicions, making it an excellent channel for Su Xing to exchange for energy! With this in mind, Su Xing stroked his chin and murmured, "Looking at it this way, we can absolutely add a business to acquire instance garbage in the Tarot Commerce Association!" Su Xing was a man of action, and without hesitation, he dialed Jin Congxue and asked her to help him acquire trash items produced in instances. Jin Congxue was puzzled by Su Xing''s request, but since she had gotten used to his strange demands, she agreed. However, acquiring instance garbage would take a significant amount of time to obtain from professionals; that work could be delegated to subordinates, and Su Xing would just reap the benefits. With this, Su Xing''s channel for obtaining simulation energy had widened once more. White equipment, exotic metals, instance garbage! White equipment and exotic metals were more stable sources, while acquiring instance garbage was like opening a blind box, and with some luck, he could even gain a massive amount of energy! "Whew... I see a bright future ahead!" Su Xing''s lips curved slightly upward; if the plan worked, the abundance of simulation energy would allow his development to speed up. At least, he wouldn''t face a stagnation in development due to lack of energy. "It''s time to start a new round of simulation!" Su Xing looked at the simulator panel, which displayed over fifty-two million points of simulation energy, feeling cheerful. March 17, 2024, New Era, Su Xing prepared to start his 28th simulation. "Start simulation!" As soon as Su Xing finished speaking, the simulator''s notification sound reached his ears. [Ding, detecting that the host has sufficient simulation energy, would you like to spend 10 million points of simulation energy to upgrade the simulator to version 3.0?] "Ah, I almost forgot about this!" Su Xing paused for a moment, then nodded and said, S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Use the energy, proceed with the upgrade!" "Heh heh, purple-quality talent, here I come!" [Ding, successfully spent ten million points of energy to upgrade the simulator, remaining energy is 42,234,466 points!] [Simulator updating... please wait... Ding, Life Simulator 3.0 version at your service, the following features have been unlocked...] Su Xing glanced over the simulator panel''s update content, found no differences from the update preview, and began the simulation in earnest! "Start simulation!" [Ding! This simulation will consume 2,800 points of energy. Remaining energy points 42,201,666. Remaining number of simulations unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 points of energy, drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy, would you like to draw?] Seeing the option to draw a purple talent finally appear on the simulation interface, Su Xing excitedly rubbed his hands and resolutely said "Draw a purple-quality talent!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining a Purple Talent, Sudden Enlightenment!] [Sudden Enlightenment]: You occasionally become extremely astute, entering a mysterious state of enlightenment. During this state, the efficiency of your cultivation, alchemy, understanding of Cultivation Techniques, and other activities will experience a terrifying increase. The chance of triggering is random and the duration of enlightenment is variable.] Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing the purple talent he had drawn. "Sudden Enlightenment, what the heck is this?" After reading up on it carefully, Su Xing was suddenly struck by the tremendous potential of the talent. "Hiss, so it''s a talent that can increase the chance of enlightenment, huh?" "If this enlightenment is really as miraculous as described in fantasy novels of my previous life, wouldn''t that mean I''m about to soar?" Chapter 105: Chapter 99: Purple Talent, A Sudden Epiphany by Chance!_2 Su Xing was somewhat excited for a moment, he had drawn a similar talent that increased understanding before, the blue talent "Quick Wit"!When triggered, it indeed improved the efficiency of alchemy and even enhanced his ability to think deeply about certain matters. But clearly, this "Quick Wit" talent was far from achieving the effect of enlightenment. "I just don''t know how great the probability of this enlightenment is... What exactly is the effect of enlightenment?" Su Xing rubbed his hands together, ready to start the simulation, looking forward to his first purple talent with great anticipation. [Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You check for any changes in yourself but find nothing different from before.] [So, you begin your daily cultivation and alchemy, and after a week, you take the five thousand elixirs you''ve refined to meet with Jin Congxue.] [Jin Congxue reports to you on the acquisition of the Lingyun Commerce Guild''s properties and discusses with you the details of establishing a "Instance Trash" acquisition department.] [According to Jin Congxue''s estimates, the weekly acquisition of instance trash could reach between three hundred to five hundred thousand items, and as the department continues to expand, this number is expected to increase.] [At the same time, Jin Congxue informs you that she is preparing to acquire several instance mines that can produce exotic metals, estimating the acquisition costs to be around two hundred billion, but once successful, you would have a steady source of exotic metals only requiring the cost of labor for mining.] [You agree with Jin Congxue''s plan and eagerly reward her.] [In the following month, you work even harder at refining elixirs, hoping to save enough money to contract a few instance mines that produce exotic metals.] Su Xing''s eyes lit up at this. "Right! Acquiring exotic metal mines, how did I not think of this?" Exotic metals are found within instance mines and require professionals to dig them out to obtain small amounts of exotic metals. These instances with exotic metals are extremely valuable and are known as mine instances. Most mine instances are controlled by the state or official authorities, but some powerful commerce guilds can also contract them privately at a high cost. Top-tier commerce guilds, including the Jin Merchant Guild, have business that contracts mine instances; they sell the excavated exotic metals at market price, only needing to pay for the labor costs. But for Su Xing, if he could contract a few mine instances, it would mean having a steady and cheap source of exotic metals; in other words, a stable source of simulation energy. Of course, contracting a mine instance requires rigorous official screening, numerous formalities, and forming a complete mining chain also takes a lot of time, so no significant results are expected in the short term. "Tsk tsk, Jin Congxue truly is my benefactor!" Assenting to Jin Congxue''s business acumen, Su Xing continued the simulation. [One day, after taking a Disguise Pill and a Breath-Concealing Pill, you prepared to enter the Luotian Meeting Instance.] [Lucky for you, the professional who had reserved a spot had an emergency and couldn''t come, and you obtained the chance to enter the Luotian Meeting Instance!] Su Xing''s eyes shone at this and he said without hesitation: "Use the immersive simulation! Duration: 24 hours!" Su Xing now had plenty of simulation energy. A day''s immersive simulation would only cost 2.4 million points of energy, which he could afford. Aside from any other opportunities, the Scripture Pavilion alone in the Luotian Meeting was worth it for Su Xing! [Ding, immersive simulation successful, 2.4 million points of energy consumed, simulation time 24 hours, remaining energy 39,701,666 points!] With the notification sound in his ear, Su Xing''s vision changed and he arrived inside the Luotian Meeting Instance. "Xiaochuan, the Luo Tian Meeting is about to begin. Go to the back mountain and invite Elder Shennong to participate!" In front of Su Xing, an elder spoke with a smile, it was Elder Che, Su Xing''s master from the previous simulation. "Yes, Master!" Su Xing bowed and walked towards the back mountain. Along the way, Su Xing pondered the fragments of memory in his mind. Su Xing''s identity remained that of Luo Xiaochuan, a disciple of the Luo Tian Sect, with Elder Che as his master, but his cultivation level had increased to the seventh layer of the Origin Martial Realm, and Elder Che formally accepted him as his personal disciple! "Indeed, in the last simulation I was still an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple, but now I''ve been promoted to a personal disciple of an elder! As my cultivation level continues to increase, my status in the instance will also change!" Su Xing muttered with some enlightenment. Soon, Su Xing came to the back mountain of the Luo Tian Sect. Along the way, he saw countless Gathering Spirit Flowers and various rare and exotic herbs, but since it was his second experience, Su Xing was no longer as shocked as he was the first time. "Shennong Uncle! The master has instructed me to invite you to the Luo Tian Meeting!" Su Xing said respectfully to a young man cultivating the fields. Quickly, Shennong Youtian put down the farm tools and nodded to Su Xing: "Is that Xiaochuan! It''s been a few years, and your cultivation has improved quite a bit!" In this simulation, Shennong Youtian seemed to be familiar with Luo Xiaochuan. On the way to the Luo Tian Meeting, the two chatted intermittently. Su Xing found out that because Shennong Youtian had been farming all year round and seldom met people, he was quite talkative. He was very happy to talk non-stop upon meeting Su Xing, who nodded from time to time and responded. In the exchange with Shennong Youtian, Su Xing benefited greatly. "Uncle, Xiaochuan has a question that I''d like to ask you..." Seeing that they were about to arrive at the meeting place, Su Xing was prepared to seize the opportunity to benefit further. Shennong Uncle nodded and asked, "What would my nephew like to ask? Just speak freely!" Su Xing hurriedly inquired, "Lately, your nephew has encountered some difficulties in the practice of Body Refinement, concerning the mastery of Origin Force..." Su Xing expressed his doubts; his mastery of Origin Force was still very superficial, and in this aspect, he had great potential for development. After listening, Shennong Youtian nodded slightly and replied: "Body Refinement Cultivators reaching the Origin Martial Realm can be considered as having formally entered the path of Body Cultivation. Cultivators of the Origin Martial Realm focus on the mastery and application of Origin Force, while the subsequent Divine Strength Realm is the explosive realm of strength and physical aptitude..." Shennong Youtian talked at length, yet never quite got to the point. Only at the end did he mention: "Ahem, Uncle isn''t very knowledgeable about the path of Body Cultivation. If my nephew is curious, you could look up two books in the Scripture Pavilion, namely ''Detailed Explanation on the Utilization of Origin Force'' and ''Advanced Utilization of Origin Force.'' Fully digest these two books, and you could be considered an expert in the mastery of Origin Force!" Su Xing felt embarrassed after listening, darn it, so this uncle didn''t understand either, still pretending to know? However, through this matter, Su Xing also understood that there are specialists in every field. This Shennong Uncle was skilled in the way of cultivating the spirit, and he could inquire about doubts in this area. If he did not understand other aspects, the Scripture Pavilion might indeed be the best place to go. Having been asked about a blind spot in his knowledge, Shennong Youtian also felt somewhat embarrassed and seemed no longer inclined to answer Su Xing''s questions. Thus, Su Xing did not bother further. After sending Shennong Youtian to his master''s place, he immediately went to the Scripture Pavilion and became engrossed in "Detailed Explanation on the Utilization of Origin Force." Immersed in reading, a day quickly passed by. It was only when Su Xing heard the simulator''s notification sound that he reluctantly exited the immersive simulation and returned to the real world. "So, it turns out there are three stages in the application of Origin Force, and I''m currently only at the most superficial stage of enhancement, capable of enhancing strength and defense only... But if I were to reach the profound stage, I could even release Origin Force to harm others externally, and learn attacking techniques that match the Origin Force!" Excitement spread across Su Xing''s face. If he could cultivate Origin Force to an advanced stage, he might even be able to combat a Divinity Transformation Cultivator when he reached the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm! "Alas, it''s a pity that this immersive simulation is too expensive, costing 2.4 million energy to simulate a single day, and I can only enter the Luo Tian Meeting Instance three times at most. If it''s used for learning, that''s 7 million energy points gone!" Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing felt a pinch, sighed, and then continued to simulate. [You emerged from the Luo Tian Meeting Instance with a deeper understanding of Origin Force.] [Over the following months, you continued to peacefully engage in alchemy and cultivation every day until one day, Wang Qingxuan found you...] [After a tumultuous night, you joined the Descending Sect along with Wang Qingxuan.] [As your strength increased and your confidence swelled, you no longer concealed your alchemy skills and straightforwardly proposed to become an elder in the Descending Sect.] Chapter 106: Chapter 100: Grinding Experience, The Right Way to Use Immersive Simulation! ```[You revealed your own strength, and with your Origin Martial Realm seventh level, your power was no weaker than that of an ordinary elder, so the Descending Sect agreed to your request and promised to let you become an elder after a three-month probation period.] [Your talent for alchemy quickly caught the attention of Luo Shuying and Damned Zong, and they both extended olive branches to you.] [You didn''t hesitate to join Luo Shuying''s faction, and secretly flipped off Damned Zong.] [The next day, you took Luo Shuying aside and explained your origins, uttering the secret phrase.] [Luo Shuying was shocked to hear that you could traverse the timeline, but because of the secret phrase, she chose to trust you.] [You successfully allied with Luo Shuying.] Su Xing nodded slightly to himself and murmured: "When my strength was insufficient before, I had to be careful and cautious, even in simulation; one careless mistake meant instant death, wasting a simulation opportunity." "But now, with my Origin Martial Realm seventh level cultivation, plus my Qi Refinement Nascent Soul stage, my strength is top-notch even among Heavenly King level powerhouses; in the Descending Sect, apart from protector-level freaks, none should be my match!" "Therefore, being straightforward about my intentions completely saves a lot of time and allows me to access the resources of the Descending Sect faster and strike an alliance with Luo Shuying!" Thinking thus, Su Xing turned his attention to the simulation panel. [In the third month, because you completed your tasks on time every month, providing three hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills to the Descending Sect, you were promoted and became an elder of the Sect.] [But what the upper echelons of the Descending Sect didn''t know was that you were lining your pockets in secret, stockpiling tens of thousands of Essence-Nourishing Pills, preparing to boost the strength of Great Xia Country when you defected.] [At the same time, Luo Shuying spent her own contribution points to exchange for a large amount of Essence-Nourishing Herbs, Origin Martial Herbs, Soul Condensing Pills, and other medicines for you, and you started stockpiling a large number of elixirs.] [In the second year, you contacted Lu Yuanwu through Jin Congxue''s channels in secret, exchanging elixirs for a large amount of Demonic Beast Flesh Essence.] [You took the Origin Martial Pills every day, and with the abundant supply of Demon King Flesh Essence, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level began to rise rapidly.] [One day, you stealthily went to Kyoto and took a trip to the Luotian Meeting Instance.] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing nodded slightly and recited to himself: "Use the immersive simulation function for 24 hours!" [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation, consuming 2.4 million points of energy for 24 hours of simulation time, leaving you with 37,301,666 points of energy remaining!] Soon, Su Xing''s vision changed and he once again arrived at the Luotian Meeting Instance. In this round of immersive simulation, Su Xing was still attached to Luo Xiaochuan, inviting Shennong Youtian to the Luotian Meeting. Afterwards, Su Xing went to the Scripture Pavilion alone. Arriving at a familiar spot, he opened the "Detailed Explanation of Origin Force Usage". For more than twenty-something hours, Su Xing immersed himself in the cultivation and comprehension of Origin Force. Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing exited. Feeling somewhat tired, he rubbed his temples and exclaimed: "The use of Origin Force is truly marvelous; I vastly underestimated its application before... One more session should be enough for me to get a solid grasp, right?" The corners of Su Xing''s mouth curved into a small smile. After two consecutive immersive simulations, Su Xing devoted himself solely to the cultivation and application of Origin Force, forming a substantial base in his mind for how to cultivate it further. All Su Xing needed to do next was to continue his practice in the simulation, and with the knowledge he had accumulated in his mind, he could quickly improve his application of Origin Force. Su Xing''s offensive means were currently limited, with only the Li Fire Technique counting as formidable among his spells. But Su Xing''s strongest aspect was his Body Cultivation Level, and Origin Force could maximize the potency of his Body Refinement Cultivation, the formidable aspect of the Origin Martial Realm. With this in mind, Su Xing refocused his gaze on the simulation panel. [After exiting the Luotian Meeting Instance, your mastery of Origin Force improved further, so you included a new item in your training plan, the cultivation and application of Origin Force!] [In the third year, you maintained a regular schedule, practicing alchemy and cultivation each day, increasing your practice of Origin Force.] [Over the past year, your mastery of Origin Force far exceeded your previous understanding. Although you were still at the first stage "Enhancement", you found that by covering your fists with Origin Force, you could increase your strength by fifty percent in a short time, and you discovered that you could coat your skin with Origin Force to enhance your body''s defenses!] [In addition, you''ve stockpiled over fifty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills and crafted thousands of Origin Martial Pills for your own cultivation.] [As you continued to supply elixirs to Great Xia Country, although done secretly, it inevitably leaked out, and you were listed as a suspect by the Descending Sect, but they had no solid evidence.] [You weren''t alarmed by this, as over these three years, you had already collaborated with Luo Shuying to secure most of the medicinal materials in the Sect''s treasury, preparing to flee at a moment''s notice should your actions be exposed.] [One day, while tending to the Gathering Spirit Flowers you had carefully cultivated, you suddenly discovered that three flowers had matured at the same time.] [You quickly began pollinating the three Spirit Gathering Flowers, and under your careful nurture, seven or eight sprouts of Gathering Spirit Flowers began to grow robustly around them.] [So besides cultivating every day, you also dedicated part of your time to caring for the Gathering Spirit Flowers, knowing that your hopes for advancing your Qi Refining Cultivation rested on them.] ``` Chapter 107: Chapter 100 Insane Experience Farming, The Right Way to Use Immersive Simulation!_2 [Finally, your secret alliance with Luo Shuying and the Great Xia Military was exposed, but fortunately, you were both prepared and quickly rendezvoused with the military''s powerhouses, avoiding the pursuit and assassination by the Descending Sect.] Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.[After that, you and Luo Shuying joined the Great Xia Military; Luo Shuying established a dedicated team to hunt down members of the Descending Sect, while you focused on enhancing your cultivation level and concocting elixirs.] [Seeing that the Luotian Meeting Instance was about to dissipate, you seized the opportunity and entered the Luotian Meeting Instance for the last time!] Su Xing felt a stir in his heart and silently recited: "Activate immersive simulation feature, duration 24 hours!" [Ding, you have successfully activated the immersive simulation, consuming 2,400,000 energy points, simulation time 24 hours, remaining energy 34,901,666 points!] Su Xing''s vision swirled, and he re-entered the Luotian Meeting Instance. After completing the familiar task sequence, Su Xing once again arrived at the Scripture Pavilion and started studying "Detailed Analysis of Origin Force Utilization."] Soon the 24-hour immersive simulation period was up, Su Xing exited the simulation with a hint of excitement in his eyes. "After three immersive simulations in a row, I''ve finally memorized the whole book on the detailed use of Origin Force! Once I fully grasp the content of this book, my utilization of Origin Force will advance to the second stage, the Origin Force Encirclement!" Su Xing drank a mouthful of cool well water, allowing his emotions to settle back down. "Alas, mastering the cultivation of Origin Force is probably not easy. To truly step into the second stage, under normal circumstances, it might even take two or three simulations'' worth of accumulation... But once achieved, the power of Origin Force is not only tremendous within the Origin Martial Realm, it also holds many benefits for higher realm Body Refinement Cultivators!" "I must not be hasty, accumulation is key... after all, what I have in abundance is time!" After pondering for a moment, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [Upon exiting the Luotian Meeting Instance, you gained new insights into the use of Origin Force.] [Next, you detailed your daily schedule: each day, you concocted elixirs for four hours, honed your body for four hours, practiced your Origin Force for two hours, and the rest of your time was spent taking care of the Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field; as the ultimate cultivator, you ensured an abundance of energy through one hour of meditation each day.] [In the fourth year, your mastery of Spiritual Power advanced rapidly, and thanks to an ample supply of Demon King Flesh Essence and Origin Martial Pills, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level also soared.] [In the fifth year, you continued your daily training, advancing steadfastly, and with your help, Great Xia Country witnessed the birth of more and more Grandmaster Level and Heavenly King Level powerhouses.] [In the sixth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level neared the eighth level of the Origin Martial Realm. However, due to the lack of guidance from a master, you hit a bottleneck in your mastery of Origin Force, and progress slowed down.] [That same year, the second batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers you planted gradually matured, and you began a new round of pollination and cultivation; the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers you possessed broke through to more than ten, with another ten Gathering Spirit Flower seedlings growing robustly, and the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land also gradually increased.] [In the seventh year, as the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers grew, the Spiritual Energy in your Spirit Field Blessed Land became abundant once again. However, due to the delicate nature of the Gathering Spirit Flowers, you had to spend more time caring for and cultivating the immature ones.] [The same year, your supplies of Essence-Nourishing Herb, Yellow Essence Immortal, Origin Martial Grass, and Dragon Spirit Flower were completely exhausted. Over the years, you have added fifty thousand Grandmaster Level professionals and more than seven hundred Heavenly King Level powerhouses to Great Xia Country, dramatically strengthening the power of the Human Race.] [Because you no longer needed to concoct a vast amount of elixirs, you had more time to devote to cultivation and nurturing the Gathering Spirit Flowers.] [In the eighth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level made a breakthrough, and you became an eighth-level Origin Martial Realm Cultivator.] [Regrettably, you were still unable to break through the bottleneck in using Origin Force and remained at the primary strengthening stage in its application.] [In the ninth year, you handed over all the Soul Condensing Pills you concocted to Luo Shuying, helping her and her people break through their realms.] [That same year, with the abundant supply of Soul Condensing Pills, Luo Shuying broke through to become a Legendary Level powerhouse, and your relationship heated up, leading to some effortless developments.] [That year, the number of mature Gathering Spirit Flowers you possessed surged again, reaching twenty, and the number of immature Gathering Spirit Flowers increased to fifteen.] [In the tenth year, a great battle erupted between demonic beasts and the Human Race at Demon-Subduing Pass, with dozens of Heavenly King Level powerhouses and a Martial Emperor of the Human Race perishing, while also slaying two Demon Emperors.] [Because you had given prior notice, the Legendary Level powerhouses guarding Demon-Subduing Pass and Luo Shuying personally took action, obtaining for you the Flesh Essence of two Demon Emperors.] [You acquired nearly two hundred jin of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, and with the aid of Origin Martial Pills, the speed at which your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved was even more astonishing.] [Due to the overwhelming energy of the Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, you could only consume half a jin per day, yet even so, your cultivation progressed at an incredible pace.] [In the eleventh year, you dedicated even more effort to improving your Body Refinement Cultivation Level each day. Your Purple Talent played its role, making your physical strength increasingly formidable; you were getting closer and closer to the ninth level of the Origin Martial Realm.] [In the twelfth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level finally made a further breakthrough; you successfully advanced to the ninth level of the Origin Martial Realm, only a step away from Great Perfection!] [That same year, the fourth generation of Gathering Spirit Flowers you cultivated matured. Although you neglected a few and caused them to wither during this period, you still ended up with thirty mature Gathering Spirit Flowers, and over ten seeds of Gathering Spirit Flowers began to take root and sprout.] [The only thing that troubled you was that there was still no advancement in your grasp of Origin Force; you were still stuck at the initial stage of its application.] Su Xing frowned slightly upon reading this and murmured to himself, "It seems that mastering Origin Force is more difficult than I thought. To still be in the first realm after ten years?" Normally, it takes decades or even a hundred years to reach the intermediate stage the Entwining Stageof Origin Force application, and at least cultivators at the Divine Strength Realm should be able to grasp it. But Su Xing believed that his Body Cultivation talent was not bad, and he should be progressing faster than the average cultivator. However, from what he saw now, the study and application of Origin Force required insight more than Body Cultivation talent. Thinking this, Su Xing looked at his "Accidental Epiphany" talent and murmured to himself, "Big brother, you''re the first Purple Talent I drew, give me some strength, won''t you?" What Su Xing didn''t expect was that the chance of triggering an Accidental Epiphany was even lower than he had imagined; he had simulated for a whole twelve years and not triggered it even once, which was a bit too accidental, wasn''t it? "Sigh!" Su Xing sighed slightly, no longer holding hope for a quick breakthrough in Origin Force. What Su Xing didn''t expect was that his Purple Talent would immediately prove him wrong. [In the thirteenth year, one day while you were practicing Origin Force as usual, you suddenly had an insight and triggered an Accidental Epiphany, entering a mysterious state...] Chapter 108: Chapter 101: Do you understand the value of sudden enlightenment? [In this marvelous state of sudden enlightenment, your mind is exceptionally pure, and previously incomprehensible questions seem to be suddenly illuminated as if drenched by a timely rain, the blockage cleared away.][Boosted by the state of sudden enlightenment, you became wholly immersed in the mastery of Origin Force, forgetting time, forgetting to eat and sleep, and your proficiency in controlling Origin Force improved by leaps and bounds each day!] [Three days later, you slowly emerged from this marvelous state of sudden enlightenment and were astonished by the changes within yourself.] [The good news is, your mastery over Origin Force reached the second phase, Origin Force Enwrapment!] [The bad news is, since you were in a state of sudden enlightenment for three consecutive days, and neglected to tend to your Gathering Spirit Flowers, all the more than ten immature Gathering Spirit Flowers you owned withered away] Su Xing felt a wave of embarrassment upon seeing this. "Goodness, who would have thought such a random epiphany could be so powerful? Merely three days of enlightenment and I actually directly entered the second phase of Origin Force''s operation! If I were to follow the normal pace of cultivation, it would take at least thirty years to step into the second phase, right?" "If you calculate it like that, in the state of enlightenment, a single day''s insight is worth ten years of hard training!" Su Xing''s lips curved up crazily, he had figured it out. This random enlightenment was a "lottery-type talent"; it''s an invisible talent on regular days, but once fortuitously stimulated, Su Xing was definitely in luck, as though he won the lottery. "Just how powerful is this Origin Force Enwrapment stage after all?" Su Xing''s eyes showed a hint of curiosity as he continued to simulate. [When your mastery of Origin Force successfully entered the second phase, you inflated unprecedentedly. You used the force training machine specially crafted by the Great Xia Military and discovered that your strength has neared eight million jin under the use of Origin Force!] [Such a terrifying magnitude of strength is far beyond what any Heavenly King Level professional can achieve, leading you to make a bold decision; you challenged Martial Emperor Level powerhouse Lu Yuanwu to test whether your strength had reached the Martial Emperor Level.] [You were pressed to the ground by Lu Yuanwu and thoroughly roughed up. This taught you that although your strength had tremendously increased, there was still a vast chasm between you and an established Martial Emperor Level powerhouse like Lu Yuanwu.] [You asked Lu Yuanwu what level your strength actually was at, and Lu Yuanwu told you that with your strength you were considered invincible amongst those at the Heavenly King Level, but victory was still impossible against a Martial Emperor Level.] [You were incredulous and asked why the gap was so vast.] [Lu Yuanwu told you, for a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse to kill a Heavenly King Level powerhouse was as simple as squashing an ant. When you could achieve such a feat, that would mean you''ve reached the threshold of the Martial Emperor Level.] [Your previously swelling ego was shattered because you knew although you could defeat Heavenly King Level professionals, you were far from being able to do it instantly.] [Thus you reflected deeply and continued to train with determination!] [In the fourteenth year, you were hopelessly addicted to cultivation, feeling your bodily strength become increasingly powerful, and took a firm step closer to Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm!] [In the fifteenth year, Luo Shuying''s homeland suffered a massive invasion by the Foreign Race, tens of thousands from the Spirit Race perished in battle, and thousands of Luo Shuying''s Spirit Race compatriots fled to Blue Star.] Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this and muttered, "At the beginning, Luo Shuying''s homeland was destroyed in just the eighth year, but now it''s managed to hold out until the fifteenth year. It''s clear that the Soul Condensing Pills have had a significant impact on the Spirit Race''s strength, allowing them to hold on for an additional seven years." ``` After a pause, Su Xing sighed again: "Alas, is the gap between Martial Emperor Level and Heavenly King Level really so huge? Even after mastering the way to harness Origin Force, I still can''t defeat a Martial Emperor Level expert..." "And those at Martial Emperor Level are equivalent to veteran Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouses... With this in mind, I''m still far from being able to solo defeat that damned Zong!" "It seems that I can only wait until my Qi Refining Cultivation reaches the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, then perhaps I could fight against a Martial Emperor Level expert?" Su Xing was uncertain about his actual strength level, but he thought that increasing his cultivation was always good. Thus, Su Xing continued the simulation. [In the sixteenth year, you consume Demon Emperor Flesh Essence every day, and your strength increases rapidly. In this year, your cultivation finally takes a firm step forward, and you become a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm!] [Your breakthrough inflates your confidence, so you challenge Lu Yuanwu again, but once again he pins you to the ground and rubs you into it.] [You ask Lu Yuanwu how strong you are, and he says flamboyantly that to him, you are just a slightly bigger ant.] [After hearing this, you are greatly hit and turn your grief and indignation into motivation, hoping to break through to the Divine Strength Realm.] [In the seventeenth year, you train day and night, your physical body becomes even more perfect, and your strength increases considerably from the previous year. Encouraged, you continue to train hard.] [In the eighteenth year, the growth of your cultivation slows down, but you still make progress. Believing in the rewards of diligence under the Heavenly Dao, you train even harder.] [In the nineteenth year, your cultivation remains at the Great Perfection stage of the Origin Martial Realm. You start to pray for a state of enlightenment that could lead to breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm.] [In the twentieth year, enlightenment still does not come to you, so you start looking for other methods. You place your hopes on an elixir called the Divine Strength Pill, hoping to break through the realm by refining it.] [But you encounter the biggest problem, the fact that neither the entire Great Xia Country nor the Descending Sect''s treasury have the main ingredient needed to refine the Divine Strength Pill: the Divine Power Vine!] [Divine Power Vine is an extremely rare medicinal herb that needs to be cultivated for a hundred years before it can be used in medicine. Eventually, you find a few seeds of the Divine Power Vine among the gifts Qing Yunzi left for you, but at this point, it''s too late to plant them, so you have to give up for the time being.] [In the twenty-first year, your cultivation still remains at the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm, and your improvement slows. Therefore, you focus more on understanding and utilizing Origin Force.] [In the twenty-second year, you become ever more adept at using Origin Force, able to wrap it around any part of your body, significantly enhancing your defense and firmness.] [In the twenty-third year, your cultivation hits a standstill, but you continue to practice the usage of Origin Force relentlessly.] [In the twenty-fourth year, the strength of your Origin Force surpasses the previous level, proving that your hard work was not in vain.] [In the twenty-fifth year, the Foreign Race gathers a large army to attack Demon-Subduing Pass, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers hold out for several months, but eventually, the city falls, and everyone perishesDemon-Subduing Pass is finally breached!] [In the same year, a giant beast that blots out the sky descends into the real world and swallows the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp.] [You are swallowed by the giant beast and you die!] [Your talent, unwilling to close its eyes in death, activates...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] ``` S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After the simulation ended, Su Xing fell into deep contemplation. "As expected, advancing to the Divine Strength Realm from the Origin Martial Realm isn''t so easy. My current cultivation level has already reached the seventh layer of the Origin Martial Realm; it won''t be long before I face the difficult challenge of breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm..." "To overcome this obstacle, there are only two methods. The first is to have another breakthrough in body cultivation talent! A purple-grade body cultivation talent could possibly allow me to cultivate my body faster, giving me a greater assurance of breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm..." "But drawing a purple-grade body cultivation talent purely depends on luck! With bad luck, it''s possible that even after dozens of simulations, I might not draw it, so I can''t place my hope on this!" Su Xing took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "Therefore, the most reliable method is to refine the Divine Strength Pill. With the power of the elixirs, coupled with the essence of the Demon Emperor''s flesh and the enhancement of the Glutton King talent, perhaps I can breakthrough to the Divine Strength Realm..." "To refine the Divine Strength Pill, I must first cultivate the Divine Strength Vine, which takes a hundred years to grow. Even with my affinity for plants, I''m afraid it will still take twenty or thirty years, right?" "Even if I manage to cultivate the Divine Strength Vine, that is only the first step. I also have to master the method of refining the Divine Strength Pill, which adds difficulty upon difficulty..." Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a headache coming on, feeling that there was still a long road ahead before he could break through to the Divine Strength Realm. "Alas, let it be! I should focus on the matter at hand and choose my simulation rewards first..." Su Xing sighed, turning his gaze towards the rewards from this simulation. [Random Epiphany]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 3 million energy points. [Twenty-Five Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 500,000 energy. [Demon Emperor Flesh Essence 10 pounds]: The essence of the Demon Emperor, containing an abundance of life force, priced at 10 million energy. [Thirty Mature Gathering Spirit Flowers]: Priced at 3 million energy. [Origin Force Cultivation Achievements]: Containing the insights and outcomes of Origin Force cultivation, choosing this can directly grant the Coiling Stage (Second Stage) Origin Force, priced at 10 million energy. Looking at the simulation rewards in front of him, Su Xing did not overthink and quickly made his decision. "I choose the Purple Talent Random Epiphany and the Origin Force Cultivation Achievement from this simulation!" The choice of the Purple Talent was obvious; the Random Epiphany was akin to a divine skill, capable of equating one day of cultivation to ten years if triggered! Su Xing''s expectation for this talent was not high. He hoped that at least once during the simulation, he would trigger a random epiphany, right? If triggered, Su Xing would be making a huge profit! As for Su Xing''s second choice, the Origin Force Cultivation Achievement. It was simply because the cultivation of Origin Force took too much time. Including Su Xing''s twenty years of cultivation along with a three-day epiphany, the integrated cultivation time had exceeded fifty years! It''s as if Su Xing spent a full fifty years to cultivate his Origin Force to the second stage, the Coiling Stage! If he didn''t choose this time, and there was no epiphany next time, Su Xing would really lose out. As for Gathering Spirit Flowers and the Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection Cultivation Level, these were things that Su Xing could obtain if he was willing to spend time, so they were not an immediate concern. After Su Xing made his selection, the simulator''s prompt tone quickly rang in his ear. [Ding, it has been detected that your current talent slot is full. Expanding to a second additional talent slot will cost 100,000 simulation energy points, do you want to expand?] [You may also choose to replace one of your current talents, which will require 100,000 simulation energy points, do you want to replace?] After hearing this, the corner of Su Xing''s mouth twitched. Wasn''t it just 10,000 simulation energy points last time? Why does expanding the talent slot cost a hundred thousand now? One hundred thousand energy points wasn''t a lot for Su Xing, but at this rate, he feared that the third additional talent slot would require a million energy points! However, replacing a talent also required one hundred thousand energy points, so for Su Xing, it made more sense to expand to an extra talent slot. "I choose to expand the additional talent slot!" [Ding, you have chosen to expand an additional talent slot, spending 100,000 energy points, remaining energy 34,801,666 points.] [You have chosen to take the Purple Talent Random Epiphany, spending 1 million energy points, remaining energy 33,801,666 points.] [You have chosen to take the Origin Force Cultivation Achievement, spending 10 million energy points, remaining energy 23,801,666 points.] Looking at the rapidly decreased prompts on the simulation panel, a pained expression appeared on Su Xing''s face. "Sigh, this simulation has really bled me dry, spending nearly twenty million energy points... At this rate, no matter how much energy I have, it won''t be enough!" However, Su Xing understood that the reason for such a huge expense this time was because of his cultivation of Origin Force, and including the immersive simulation fees, the cost had nearly reached twenty million. "Sigh, I hope the enhancement brought by Origin Force is worth the eighteen million energy points!" With Su Xing''s choices made, two mysterious powers soon descended upon him. The purple light symbolizing the Random Epiphany Talent fell upon Su Xing and quickly vanished. Immediately after, Su Xing''s mind was filled with a flood of memories about Origin Force cultivation... As the memories poured in, Su Xing''s mastery of Origin Force surged rapidly. No, it wasn''t just the influx of memories! The amount and strength of Origin Force within Su Xing''s body also increased several times in an instant! After a long time, Su Xing opened his eyes, his face displaying shock as he looked at the Origin Force covering his hands and murmured: "Hss~ With the control of Coiling Stage Origin Force, could it really offer such a terrifying enhancement?" Chapter 109: Chapter 102: Strength Reaches Five Million Catties, Divine Power Vine! ```His control over Origin Force had been elevated to the Entwining level, which directly doubled the enhancement of his physical strength by Origin Force! Now that Su Xing''s pure physical strength reached 2.5 million catties, once he had entwined Origin Force around it, the explosive force would reach 5 million catties! And this was merely the contribution of Origin Force to his strength. Beyond enhancing strength, Su Xing could now twine Origin Force around any part of his body, such as his skin! If he entwined it around the skin of his abdomen, Su Xing''s defensive power in that area could be doubled for a short time until the Origin Force was exhausted. The same principle applied when entwined around the arms or back; the effect was the same. It was just a pity that Su Xing had just stepped into the Entwining level and was not yet capable of full-body entwinement with Origin Force. Once he achieved full-body entwinement, it would be as if Su Xing were wearing an invisible suit of heavy armor, significantly boosting his defense! "Tsk, no wonder Origin Force is so highly valued; the reason why Body Refinement Cultivators are so powerful must be closely related to Origin Force!" Su Xing murmured to himself slightly. He understood that a Body Refinement Cultivator with Origin Force was the complete form, able to truly unleash the power of Body Refinement! "Entwining level Origin Force, something that a Cultivator in the Divine Strength Realm should possess, and yet, due to an unexpected turn of events, I''ve mastered it ahead of time. Really quite lucky!" Su Xing''s mood brightened as he opened his professional panel for a look. [Name: Su Xing] [Age: 21] [Profession: Cultivator (Unique Hidden Profession)] [Cultivation Level: Nascent Soul Stage, 1st Layer; Origin Martial Realm, 7th Layer] [Cultivation Technique: Changchun Technique, Pill Condensation Secret Technique] [Talent: Epiphanic Insight, Big Eater, Wood-Fire Dual True Spiritual Root, Innate Divine Strength, Fortuitous Serendipity, Looks That Would Make Pan An Envious (omitted)...] [Skills: Li Fire Technique (Minor Achievement), Alchemy (Minor Achievement), Spirit Explosion Technique (Minor Achievement), Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Beginner), Fifty-Zhang Divine Sense (Five Senses Realm), Origin Force Mastery (Entwining Level)] As expected, Origin Force Mastery (Entwining Level) had been categorized as a skill on the panel. Counting his arsenal, Su Xing now possessed not a few offensive methods. Li Fire Technique and Origin Force were both considered major killing tools, with only Spirit Explosion Technique, created by Su Xing himself, being slightly less powerful. "Tsk, compared to Body Refinement Cultivation, my Qi Refining Cultivation of Nascent Soul Realm''s 1st Layer seems a bit lacking..." Su Xing frowned slightly, his short-term goal being to cultivate both Body Refinement and Qi Refinement to the pinnacle of the current realms and then find a way to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm and Divine Strength Realm. Once he did that, Su Xing''s dual cultivation in both Body Refinement and Qi Refinement would give him an edge when it was time to settle scores with that Damned Zong! The moment he killed Damned Zong, he would inevitably inherit his legacy, and Su Xing''s strength would soar once again in a positive cycle! "Sigh, although the goal is beautiful, I must still remain down-to-earth!" With a sigh, Su Xing skillfully took out the Alchemy Furnace and began his Alchemy. It was still the mundane life of pill making. Su Xing multi-tasked, concocting two batches of elixirs at the same time. In just a week, he had created over five thousand pills. Even during his Alchemy breaks, he still found time to plant the Divine Strength vines. ``` The Divine Strength Vine, being the main ingredient for the mid-tier Divine Strength Pills, was not as energy-consuming to cultivate as the Gathering Spirit Flower. In simple terms, as long as Su Xing watered it every few days, the plant would grow vigorously. What troubled Su Xing, though, was the slow growth of the Divine Strength Vine; it required hundreds of years to mature, and even with the affinity for plants, it would still take twenty or thirty years. Soon a week had passed, and Su Xing emerged from the Spirit Field Blessed Land, walking towards the familiar villa of the Tarot Society. "Sigh, it''s been months of the same two-point routine life, every day spent either refining pills or simulating When will this ever end?" With a sigh, Su Xing, although a Cultivator, still retained his humanity and felt monotony and boredom. This weekly routine even reminded him of his senior high school days in his past life. "Alas, it''s all because my strength is still too low! Perhaps once I become stronger, I can explore various instances..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, once again encouraging himself. Upon reaching the familiar villa and entering his private room, Jin Congxue had been waiting for a long time. Today she was dressed in yoga attire, the snug outfit accentuating her shapely figure. Su Xing''s eyes lit up at the sight, and the weekly meal with Jin Congxue was one of his rare relaxation times. The meal was quickly finished, and the two got down to business. Jin Congxue took out a storage ring and said, "This comprises the equipment produced by the Tarot Commerce Association last week, as well as the accumulated instance trash... By the way, what do you need so much instance trash for?" Receiving the ring, Su Xing chuckled and said, "Of course, it''s to dig out treasures from the trash items! Aren''t all those trash lords dreaming of such luck?" Jin Congxue couldn''t help but laugh at Su Xing''s comment, "Is that so? I thought you were buying them to eat!" Su Xing rolled his eyes and then handed over the elixirs he had refined that week to Jin Congxue. Suddenly, Su Xing thought of something and asked, "Sister Xue, what if we contracted a few instances specifically for mining exotic metals, do you think we could do it?" Jin Congxue was surprised and teased him, "Wow! Acquiring mining instance rights, our big boss sure has grand ambitions! You''ve just finished taking over the Lingyun Commerce Guild, and now you want to acquire mining instances. Are you planning to take down the Jin Merchant Guild and become a top commerce association within a few years?" Su Xing felt a bit sheepish upon hearing this; after all, the woman before him was the heiress to the Jin Merchant Guild. Replacing the Jin Merchant Guild and becoming a top commerce association was something to ponder in private and definitely not to voice out loud. "Cough cough, just tell me if it''s possible, eh? The main reason I need to mine the exotic metals myself is for personal use, we can keep it within our own operation..." After hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue pondered for a moment before saying, "It''s not entirely impossible; exotic metals are controlled items, and aside from official parties, very few commerce associations dare to mine them." "However, every year there is a batch of secondary exotic metal mining instances that do get released. These can produce first-tier exotic metals and a small amount of second-tier metals..." "But the application process is quite cumbersome. Our Tarot Commerce Association is a first-tier association, so we barely qualify, but it still requires approval from the Great Xia government!" Su Xing nodded after hearing this. He knew that Jin Congxue''s grandfather was none other than Lu Yuanwu, the famous Martial Emperor of the Great Xia Military. With such a background, Jin Congxue was bound to become a big shot in both the military and business worlds! "Sister Xue, just tell me if it''s possible or not. There''s nothing in this world that my Sister Xue can''t handle!" Su Xing blinked his eyes, pleading. After hearing this, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and said, "You''re as sweet-talking as if you''ve smeared honey on your lips! Let''s make it clear in advance, I can''t guarantee this will work out. I do have some resources on hand that can gain access to the mining simulator..." "But, the review process for the simulator is quite troublesome; it would take at least three to five months to fully contract the simulator and start mining." "Moreover, contracting a mining area simulator isn''t a small figure, it would require at least a few hundred billion to be sufficient..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing patted his chest confidently and said, "Don''t worry, leave the money matters to me! Sister Xue, you just go ahead and use your connections!" After hearing this, Jin Congxue nodded her head, signifying her agreement. After the meal, Su Xing returned to school and, finding himself alone, entered into the Spirit Field Blessed Land. He took out the storage ring Jin Congxue had given him and with a thought, turned the white equipment and simulator junk inside into energy. After the transactions with Lingyun Commerce Guild were completed, Su Xing''s energy didn''t surge by tens of millions like before, but it was a stable and steady flow. Forty thousand pieces of white-quality equipment brought Su Xing a total of 2.2 million energy points. Coupled with the simulator junk he acquired, Su Xing''s energy increased by another 6 million points! With that, Su Xing now had about 30 million energy points left in his simulator. On March 25, 2024 of the New Era, Su Xing promptly started a new round of simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation will consume 2,900 energy points, leaving you with 30,031,550 energy points remaining, with an unlimited number of simulation attempts remaining.] [The simulation has started!] [Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Would you like to draw?] "Do I even need to think about it? Of course, I pick the purple talent! Who do you think you''re looking down on?" As soon as Su Xing said this, a notification sounded in his ear. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent, Dragon Slayer!] [Dragon Slayer]: You are naturally the bane of all dragonkind. All creatures with dragon blood that see you will involuntarily feel fear, and you deal an additional 50% damage to all dragon-type creatures! "Hmm? Dragon Slayer talent? This seems to be a buff-type talent!" Su Xing read the description of the Dragon Slayer talent carefully, realizing it was straightforward and specifically targeted at dragon-kind. "But the problem is... damn it, I''ve never seen a dragon! It''s not even certain whether there are dragons in this world. What do I need this talent for?" Su Xing ranted internally. "Perhaps I''ll encounter dragons after entering the Cultivation World, but isn''t that too far off from now?" Su Xing made a swift decision that he could keep this talent for now, depositing it in the talent pool to be chosen later when needed. "Looking at it this way, I shouldn''t have chosen a talent reward for this simulation... Perhaps I should set a simulation plan first." After pondering, Su Xing felt the immediate priorities were two-fold: find a way to break through to the Divine Strength Realm, and increase the reserve of spiritual energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land. With these two points in mind, Su Xing already had a preliminary plan for this simulation. [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are simulating.] [First week, nothing special happens while you routinely refine elixirs and cultivate spirit plants.] [Second week, you went to the Luotian Meeting Instance and were fortunate to gain entry.] [You enter the Luotian Meeting Instance] Upon seeing this, Su Xing was moved and immediately said, "Activate immersive simulation feature, duration two hours!" [Ding, you have successfully activated immersive simulation, consuming 200,000 energy points, simulation time is 2 hours, remaining energy is 29,731,550 points.] As his vision shifted, Su Xing found himself in the Luotian Meeting Instance. It was the same familiar task process; Su Xing went to the rear mountain and saw his Shennong uncle at Shennong Youtian. "Su nephew, you''re here!" Shennong Youtian was as cordial as ever, chatting casually with Su Xing. Su Xing also listened quietly, and when the timing was right, he couldn''t help asking, "Uncle Shennong, I have a question to ask you... The Divine Strength Vine, a spirit plant that grows slowly and requires a hundred years before it can be used as medicine. Do you know how to accelerate the maturation of the Divine Strength Vine?" Indeed, this was why Su Xing was using the immersive simulation. While it''s nice to read books in the Scripture Pavilion, the prices are truly exorbitant. Su Xing simply treated the Luotian Meeting as a place to solve his doubts. As long as he grasped the right timing and rhythm, he could get the answers he sought from Shennong uncle. For instance, the previous cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Flower or the current issue at hand. Hearing Su Xing''s question, Shennong uncle smiled and asked, Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Nephew, are you about to break through to the Divine Strength Realm and wish to refine the Divine Strength Pill, so you''re asking me about cultivating the Divine Strength Vine?" Su Xing nodded, as that was indeed his intention. Shennong Youtian thought for a moment and answered, "There are many ways to mature spirit plants quickly. The common method is to accelerate its growth with wood attribute spiritual energy... With continuous impartation of wood attribute spiritual energy, even Divine Strength Vines can mature quickly..." "Additionally, the Divine Strength Vine prefers sunlight and dislikes shade, and it thrives in dry conditions rather than damp ones. The correct cultivation method can also make the Divine Strength Vine mature faster!" After pausing for a moment, Shennong Youtian added, "However, I have heard of a special trait that, when cultivating spirit plants, can increase the speed of the plants'' maturation several times over!" Chapter 110: Chapter 103: Transforming into a Farmer, Abounding in Spiritual Energy! Su Xing''s heart stirred after hearing this.A special constitution that increases the maturity speed of spirit plants several-fold--isn''t that just Su Xing''s plant affinity talent? "As for using wood attribute spiritual power to hasten the maturity of spirit plants... How come I never thought of that?" "Once I''ve grown enough Gathering Spirit Flowers and there is enough spiritual energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, I can indeed use wood attribute spiritual power to hasten their maturity. At most, it will just consume more spiritual power and exhaust me a bit more!" Su Xing took note of the cultivation methods explained by Uncle Shennong and resolved to pay extra attention when cultivating the Divine Power Vine later on. Soon, Su Xing had delivered the Shennong Youtian to his master''s side; there was less than an hour left before the immersive simulation ended. Su Xing rushed to the library, grabbed a book titled "Records of Curious Tales from the Cultivation World," and read it with interest. This book contained some common knowledge about the cultivation world and various schools of thought, which was very helpful in broadening Su Xing''s horizons. Shortly, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing''s consciousness returned to the real world. Two hundred thousand energy points in exchange for the opportunity to ask one question, plus expanding his knowledge of the cultivation world, was indeed a good deal. "Great, I''ve successfully obtained the fast cultivation method for the Divine Power Vine, let''s see how effective this method really is..." Su Xing murmured, his gaze fixed on the simulation panel. [After coming out from the Luotian Meeting instance, you have a new understanding of how to cultivate the Divine Power Vine.] [It just so happens that you practice the wood attribute Cultivation Technique, the Changchun Technique, so you spend some time every day infusing the Divine Power Vine with wood attribute spiritual energy.] [Under your meticulous care, the Divine Power Vine grows rapidly, but your consumption of spiritual power is quite significant, and you are drained dry by the Divine Power Vine each day.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan came to you, and after a night of turning clouds and rain, you joined the Descending Sect.] [You revealed your augmentation directly to the Descending Sect, crushing Heavenly King Level strength, and your talent for alchemy made you successfully establish a foothold within the sect.] [Luo Shuying and Damned Zong both reached out to you, and you unhesitatingly joined Luo Shuying''s faction.] [The next day, you spoke the secret words to Luo Shuying and gained her trust.] [With Luo Shuying''s help, you successfully plundered a vast array of treasures from the Descending Sect''s treasury.] [But you were not content, your goal was to empty the Descending Sect''s treasury within three years and then defect with Luo Shuying.] [In the second year, the five Divine Power Vines you planted had sprouted green shoots, and you created an area specifically for the growth of the Divine Power Vines.] [That same year, you became a respected Elder within the Descending Sect and had some freedom of movement.] [But you kept up with your daily routine of alchemy and cultivation, without haste.] [Together with Luo Shuying, you secretly emptied out the Descending Sect''s stock of spiritual medicines, amassing nearly fifty thousand elixirs.] [In the third year, you had a hundred thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills, Organ Refining Pills, and other elixirs at your disposal, as well as tens of thousands of unprocessed raw medicinal herbs.] [You believed the time to defect from the Descending Sect was ripe, so you contacted the Great Xia Military, taking Luo Shuying with you as you defected.] [You were pursued by the Descending Sect, but fortunately, with the help of Luo Shuying and the Great Xia Military, you safely arrived in Kyoto.] [That same year, your first batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers matured, and you began to pollinate them, obtaining seven embryos of Gathering Spirit Flowers.] [In the fourth year, apart from your daily alchemy, you devoted more energy to planting Gathering Spirit Flowers, which grew strong under your care.] [That year, with your help, the Great Xia Country gained tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level professionals.] [In the fifth year, you began to make Soul Condensing Pills, and as your alchemy skills continually improved, the success rate of concocting them had reached sixty percent.] [You handed over the completed Soul Condensing Pills to Luo Shuying, hoping to increase the overall strength of the Spirit Race.] sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the sixth year, although you rarely tempered your body in these years, you managed to break through to the ninth level of the Origin Martial Realm due to having an abundance of Origin Martial Pills and Demon King Flesh Essence.] [That year, Luo Shuying advanced to a Legendary Level powerhouse and began to lead teams to hunt down members of the Descending Sect.] [One day, your second generation Gathering Spirit Flowers matured, the number of mature Gathering Spirit Flowers you owned reached ten, and you also had twenty immature Gathering Spirit Flower embryos.] [In the seventh year, you refined all the elixirs you had accumulated over the years, and you added fifty thousand Grandmaster Level professionals and several hundred Heavenly King Level powerhouses to the Great Xia Country.] [You became a hero of the Great Xia Country, an existence admired by all, but you didn''t care for these empty honors, only wanting to farm peacefully.] [That same year, the five Divine Power Vines you planted had reached one foot in height. According to the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, Divine Power Vines grow one foot in thirty years. Once they reach three feet and one inch, they are considered fully mature and can be successfully used in medicine.] [In the eighth year, you were still busy farming every day, occasionally gathering with friends and relatives.] [Because of your influence, your close friend Yu Yan and your sister Su Nianan survived and became Heavenly King Level professionals.] [You brought your parents and family to Kyoto, under the protection of the Great Xia Military.] [In this simulation, farming was a breeze, you had plenty of time, and enjoyed more company with your parents.] [In the ninth year, your third generation Gathering Spirit Flowers matured, the number of mature Gathering Spirit Flowers you had reached thirty, and the number of immature ones grew to thirty.] Chapter 111: Chapter 103: Transforming into a Farmer, Abounding in Spiritual Energy!_2 [In the tenth year, your days were very prosperous, feasting every day on the flesh essence of demonic beasts, and with every plant, you felt the future brimming with hope.][In the eleventh year, out of sheer boredom, you wanted to add some excitement to your life, so you requested Luo Shuying and the Great Xia Military to help you locate the damned Zong and hoped to kill him.] [Luo Shuying pursued the damned Zong for a whole year, but with many life-saving tricks up his sleeve and his prudent nature, he always managed to escape disaster.] [In the twelfth year, the fourth generation of Gathering Spirit Flowers you planted matured, bringing the number of mature Gathering Spirit Flowers you owned to sixty. However, due to a mistake, over half of the Gathering Spirit Flower seeds withered, reducing the number in your Spirit Field to ten.] [A leisurely year of farming in the thirteenth year.] [In the fourteenth year, you continued farming, and the Divine Power vines you had planted had now grown two feet tall, slowly approaching maturity.] [In the fifteenth year, the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers you cultivated reached seventy, and to prevent any accidents, you carefully protected the immature Gathering Spirit Flowers.] [In the sixteenth year, Luo Shuying''s hometown was destroyed by a foreign race, and you comforted her.] [Another year of farming in the seventeenth year.] [In the eighteenth year, the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers you owned reached ninety, and you continued farming.] [Farming in the nineteenth year.] [Still farming in the twentieth year.] [In the twenty-first year, the Divine Power vines you had planted had grown three feet tall, not far from reaching maturity and being suitable for medicinal use.] [That same year, the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers you owned broke through to over a hundred, with an unprecedented abundance of Spiritual Power in your Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [In the twenty-second year, the Human Race''s Demon-Subduing Pass suffered a massive invasion by demonic beasts, incurring heavy losses.] [In the twenty-third year, you began to concoct Wound Healing Pills and Fasting Pills for the Human Race, hoping that Demon-Subduing Pass could hold out for longer.] [In the twenty-fourth year, the five Divine Strength vines you had planted finally matured completely, and while your heart was filled with joy, you chose to keep them rather than turning them into elixirs.] [That year, you had 120 mature Gathering Spirit Flowers, and a total of 27 immature Gathering Spirit Flower seeds.] [In the twenty-fifth year, Demon-Subduing Pass fell apart, and demonic beasts invaded in large numbers.] [That same year, a behemoth descended upon the real world and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one bite.] [You died!] [Your innate talent, "Purple Talent," unwilling to die unsatisfied, activated...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After seeing the process of this simulation, Su Xing couldn''t help but laugh and cry: "It seems that in this simulation, I''ve become a proper farmer, huh! Indeed, I have a heart for farming!" Su Xing somewhat understood why he chose as he did in the simulation. Both the Gathering Spirit Flowers and the Divine Power vines were of great importance to Su Xing. Being able to take these two types of Spiritual Medicine out of the simulation would undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble in the future. Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the rewards of this simulation.

[Five mature Divine Power vines]: priced at 10 million energy points. With five simulation rewards to choose from, Su Xing didn''t have much to contemplate. The Purple Talent, Dragon Slayer, although with good potential, was of no use to the current Su Xing. As for the Body Refinement Cultivation Level and Alchemy Experience, Su Xing could take them at any time and besides, in this simulation his main focus was farming; picking these two wouldn''t be cost-effective. "So, there''s no choice left, huh!" The corners of Su Xing''s mouth curved slightly upward as he whispered: "I choose to take the Gathering Spirit Flowers and the Divine Power vines!" [You have chosen to take out 120 mature Gathering Spirit Flowers, thirty Gathering Spirit Flower seeds, spending 12.3 million points of energy, leaving you with 17,531,550 points of energy...] [You have chosen to take out five Power Vines (mature stage), costing 10 million energy points, remaining energy 7,531,550 points.] Su Xing heard the simulator''s notification, and as he watched the energy levels on the panel decreasing like flowing water, a pained expression appeared on his face. "Sigh, the hard-earned 50 million simulator energy, spent in just two simulations? Isn''t this just a bit too wasteful!" Su Xing sighed, knowing that although it cost a lot of energy, it was all worth it. With no less than 120 Gathering Spirit Flowers, plus 30 Gathering Spirit Flower seeds, Su Xing wouldn''t lack the Spiritual Energy needed for cultivation for a long time to come. Even if Su Xing''s realm became higher in the future and he needed more Spiritual Energy for cultivation, having thirty Gathering Spirit Flower seeds meant he could quickly accumulate a massive number of Gathering Spirit Flowers through one or two simulations, given the base number. As for the Power Vine... "Tsk tsk, 10 million energy for merely five Power Vines? That''s an average of 2 million per vine, these Power Vines are even more expensive than I imagined!" Su Xing remarked, then looked around, but did not find any additional Power Vines by his side. "Strange, where are my rewards? Why aren''t they here?" Just as Su Xing was feeling puzzled, the simulator''s notification sound came again. [Ding, due to the special nature of Spirit Plant rewards, they have been automatically planted in a suitable location...] Su Xing was taken aback for a moment, then began to search for them within the Spirit Field Blessed Land. Sure enough, in the garden where Su Xing had previously planted the Gathering Spirit Flowers, many new palm-sized white flowers had sprung up, which were the very Gathering Spirit Flowers Su Xing had been longing for! At this moment, these 120 Gathering Spirit Flowers were frantically absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy. With each rhythmic absorption of the Gathering Spirit Flowers, the surrounding Spiritual Energy became more abundant and dense. Moreover, this Spiritual Energy was constantly spreading outward, slowly extending to the entire Spirit Field Blessed Land instance, making the Spiritual Energy within the Blessed Land even more plentiful. "At this rate of Spiritual Energy generation, it probably won''t take more than a few months for the density of Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land to double or even triple, right?" Su Xing looked on with satisfaction at all of this, the sparse white flowers giving him a great sense of accomplishment. As long as he had enough Gathering Spirit Flowers, the richness of the Spiritual Energy in his Spirit Field Blessed Land could catch up with that of a real Blessed Land. "One day, I will have more Gathering Spirit Flowers here than the Luo Tian Sect has on their back mountain!" Su Xing revealed his ambition. Not far from the Gathering Spirit Flowers were five Power Vines twined around long poles. Each Power Vine was three feet and one inch tall, with the thickness of a thumb, simple and unadorned, like dry wood. "These Power Vines are the base for my Divine Strength Pills in the future!" Filled with motivation, Su Xing began to make elixirs through the night. In the following week, Su Xing made six thousand Nourishing Face Pills and Wound Healing Pills, and chose a time to hand all these Elixirs over to Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue then exchanged the latest equipment and Instance Dungeon Items with Su Xing. Fifty thousand white-quality equipment and an Instance Dungeon Item in a storage ring gave Su Xing a sudden increase of 8 million energy points. Thus, Su Xing''s simulator energy reached the tens of millions level again. On April 1, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing started his thirtieth simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation costs 3,000 energy points, remaining energy 15,803,888 points, remaining number of simulations unlimited.] [Simulation starting!] [Extracting green talent costs 1,000 energy points, blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, extracting purple talent costs 100,000 energy points, would you like to extract?] sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Without a moment''s hesitation, Su Xing said softly, "Extract purple-grade talent!" [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the purple talent, Sword Obsession!] [Sword Obsession]: You were born for the sword, with a sword in hand, you outmatch all things in the world. Three years of sword practice, and you will unify your heart with the sword, nine years of sword practice, and you will master it without a teacher, comprehending the thirteen sword moves that can seize life...] Chapter 112: Chapter 104: Purple Talent, Sword Maniac! Seeing the newly drawn talent, Su Xing raised his eyebrows."This is already the third time I have drawn a talent related to swords. Could it be... I truly have a natural affinity for swords and am destined to become a supreme Sword Immortal?" From the initial Sword Dao talent to the Sword Dao prodigy, and even now, Su Xing had drawn a purple-quality Sword Maniac talent! As the saying goes, "things come in threes," Su Xing was genuinely moved this time. However, Su Xing was somewhat conflicted because he had no swordsmanship cultivation techniques or secret manuals. How could he practice swordsmanship? It was at this moment that Su Xing noticed a sentence in the description of the talent... "On the ninth year of sword practice, you will comprehend the Thirteen Deadly Swords!" "So, does this mean I can comprehend sword techniques on my own? If that''s the case, then this talent is indeed indispensable!" Su Xing''s heart raced at the thought. "As for whether I can comprehend a cultivation technique, why not try and find out?" Su Xing turned his attention to the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You feel a sudden intense interest in swords and take out a blue-quality sword-type weapon from your storage ring.] [With a sword in hand, your heart swells with pride, believing you were born for the sword!] [Thus, you begin to diligently practice swordsmanship!] [This practice took three months!] [During these three months, besides your daily alchemy, you devoted all your energy and focus to the Sword Dao.] [You hadn''t had much exposure to swords before, but you found it exceptionally easy to get started. In just three months, you swung your sword tens of thousands of times, mastering several basic swordsmanship techniques found online.] [In a few short months, you had mastered the basics of sword techniques: strike, thrust, parry, and sweep, and began to grow dissatisfied, wanting to practice more advanced sword techniques.] [Thus, you decided to head to the Luotian Meeting Instance in hopes of learning superior swordsmanship.] Moved by what he saw, Su Xing silently said to himself: "Activate immersive simulation function for two hours." [Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, consuming 200,000 points of energy, simulating for 2 hours, remaining energy 15,503,888 points] The prompt from the simulator rang in Su Xing''s ear. The next second, Su Xing''s figure vanished from his spot and appeared inside the Luotian Meeting Instance. It was the familiar task process; Su Xing took his Shennong uncle to meet the teacher. During this time, Su Xing also asked Shennong uncle about swordsmanship, but as Shennong Youtian was a farmer, naturally, he knew nothing of it. Therefore, Su Xing had no choice but to head to the library, seeking the Sword Dao that suited himself. Soon, Su Xing discovered an ancient manual in the library that was on his target listthe "Compendium of Sword Cultivation". Although the book''s name was ordinary, it was one of the essential introductory books for sword cultivators. The reason was none other than it being authored by the world-renowned Sword Immortal, Lu Dong, from tens of thousands of years ago! This compendium of Sword Cultivation covered all the basics of sword practice and could be said that as long as one fully grasped this compendium, learning any advanced swordsmanship would be effortless in the future. Soon, Su Xing became engrossed in the cultivation within this compendium. As two hours flew by and the immersive simulation time was about to end, Su Xing did not hesitate to choose to renew it. [Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, consuming 2.2 million points of energy, simulating for 22 hours, remaining energy 13,303,888 points.] With time now ample, Su Xing immersed himself completely in the compendium of Sword Cultivation. From the initial incomprehension, to a vague understanding, then to a certain level of insight, Su Xing absorbed the swordsmanship knowledge from the compendium voraciously. In continuous learning, Su Xing''s comprehension of swordsmanship grew rapidly. After an indeterminate amount of time, when Su Xing opened his eyes again, he was already back in the real world but paid no attention to this fact. "Hiss~ When did I return to the real world... The immersive simulation ended, how come I didn''t notice?" Su Xing''s eyes widened before he murmured in bewilderment: "Could it be, I just entered a state of epiphany?" As Su Xing digested the memories in his mind, he felt like he had instantly become a master of swordsmanship theory! "So, it''s because I possess the Sword Maniac talent and when immersed in the study of the Compendium of Sword Cultivation, I inadvertently triggered the epiphany... That''s the reason for such progress?" Su Xing found it hard to believe. Such a coincidence had actually happened to him, triggering the talent for epiphany during immersive simulation. Considering that a day of epiphany could equate to ten years of cultivation, Su Xing would at least be equivalent to a master who had immersed himself in the study of swordsmanship theory for a decade! "Tsk tsk, I really got lucky... The swordsmanship knowledge in my mind should be enough for me to digest for a long time, right?" Closing his eyes and recalling, the Compendium of Sword Cultivation divided the ordinary sword into three parts: human, earth, heaventhree swords! With the Human Sword mastered, one could slay any enemy in the world; there would be no one who could not be killed. The Earth Sword drew upon the momentum of heaven and earth to form a Sword of Creation, one strike could change celestial phenomena, cause mountains to collapse, or tsunamis to arise. The final stage, the Heavenly Sword, once mastered, would provide direct access to the Dao of the Sword Immortal. During the immersive simulation, Su Xing had studied the Sword Compendium for one day and triggered an epiphany, equivalent to studying the Compendium of Sword Cultivation for ten years, having barely finished reading the vast first part. After that, Su Xing also withdrew from the immersive simulation. However, the practice of just the first part, the Human Sword, was enough for Su Xing to digest for a long time. "If I can perfect my Human Sword cultivation, I might really be able to contest Divinity Transformation with my Nascent Soul, right?" Shock colored Su Xing''s face, tinged with a hint of expectation. Which youth hasn''t dreamed of becoming a sword immortal, clad in white, wielding an immortal sword, standing alone above the world? Even Su Xing was no exception. Thinking this, Su Xing''s face flushed with eagerness, itching to begin simulations. [You emerged from the Luotian Meeting Instance, eager to practice your swordsmanship.] [Thus, you spent six hours daily practicing the most fundamental sword techniques, integrating them into your understanding.] [Three months later, Wang Qingxuan found you.] [Reluctantly suspending your sword training, you joined the Descending Sect with Wang Qingxuan after one night.] [Within the sect, you displayed extraordinary strength and impressive alchemy skills, and successfully joined Luo Shuying''s faction as you wished.] [The next day, you spoke the secret phrase to Luo Shuying and earned her trust.] [Luo Shuying helped you obtain many medicinal ingredients, which you spent two hours a day refining. With the rest of your time, you chose to cultivate.] [In the second year, you became the eighteenth elder of the Descending Sect, known by the codename ''Elder Medicine.''] [You devoted more thought to the practice of swordsmanship, rapidly enhancing your combat abilities.] [You did not choose to re-enter the Luotian Meeting Instance because the knowledge of the Sword Dao in your mind alone was enough for prolonged cultivation.] [In the third year, you and Luo Shuying defected from the Descending Sect, taking with you most of the sect''s treasured inventory.] [Several protectors and elders of the Descending Sect pursued you to no avail, as you had already allied with the Great Xia Military, ultimately turning the tables and slaying the elders and protectors sent after you.] [In the fourth year, with ample Spiritual Energy and the daily ingestion of Dragon Spirit Pills, your cultivation level rapidly rose, and you became a second-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.] [That same year, through daily physical tempering and swordsmanship training, supplemented by abundant Flesh Essence and Origin Martial Pills, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level soared to the eighth level of the Origin Martial Realm!] [In the fifth year, you concocted Soul Condensing Pills and gifted the finished pills to Luo Shuying, significantly enhancing the Spirit Race''s strength.] [That same year, Luo Shuying ascended to become a Legendary Level expert.] [In the sixth year, you continued to ensure two hours of daily sword practice, but shifted more focus to your cultivation and alchemy.] [This year, you exhausted the medicinal ingredients you had accumulated, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level and several hundred Heavenly King Level experts to Great Xia Country.] Seeing this, Su Xing nodded his head in agreement but kept pondering deeply. "Six years have passed and there is no more pressure to refine elixirs, so what should I do next, continue sword training, or elevate my cultivation level?" Su Xing was not clear about the difficulty of mastering this comprehensive Sword Dao, but judging from the fact that one could become an Immortal once it was mastered, the difficulty was certainly daunting. He had no idea how much time was needed to master the first part of this Sword Dao, the Human Sword! The uncertainty of time investment made Su Xing hesitate, but the thought of the significant increase in power once Human Sword was mastered reaffirmed his determination. "I still have to train in swordsmanship! But I need to divide the risk. Four hours a day is enough, I can try to improve my cultivation level with the remaining time. That way, even if I can''t become skilled in swordsmanship, I can still gain enough cultivation level to not be at a loss." Meanwhile, Su Xing harbored a sliver of hope that perhaps, just perhaps, he might have another epiphany during his sword training, which would be a huge win. With this mindset, Su Xing continued his simulations. [In the seventh year, you still spent four hours a day practicing swordsmanship, but in addition, you began attempting to concoct Divine Strength Pills.] [You cut a section of the Divine Strength Vine grown in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, meticulously ground it into powder for the medicine, and then took out the remaining ingredients for the Divine Strength Pill. After preparations were complete, you began the concoction process.] [Since you had a limited supply of Divine Strength Vine, you estimated you could at most concoct five hundred batches of Divine Strength Pills, so you cherished every opportunity for alchemy.] [In the first month, you attempted to concoct one batch of Divine Strength Pills each day. Thirty attempts that month all resulted in failure, indicating the difficulty of concocting Divine Strength Pills was greater than you anticipated.] [In the second month, you still attempted thirty batches of Divine Strength Pills, with zero success - a hundred percent failure rate.] [The third month] [The fourth month] [In the eighth year, after a year of attempting to concoct Divine Strength Pills, you nearly used up all five strands of the Divine Strength Vine but never managed to concoct a single successful batch. And on your skill panel, the status of your Divine Strength Pill concoction skills remained at the uninitiated level.] [You knew that this was because the difficulty of concocting Divine Strength Pills far exceeded your current capabilities; under normal circumstances, you could not succeed at all, unless you entered an epiphanic state!] [Looking at the remaining half strand of Divine Strength Vine in your hand, you hoped to trigger an epiphany and succeed in the concoction.] [Over a month later, predictably, you failed again. You didn''t enter an epiphany, and the Divine Strength Vine was all consumed.] Su Xing''s eyes widened at this revelation, then he sighed and said, "As expected, concocting Divine Strength Pills is harder than I''d imagined. It seems I can''t succeed by ordinary means" "In that case, I''ll just have to leave it to luck..." Su Xing''s plan was to continue attempting to concoct Divine Strength Pills in every simulation, and to slow down the process, for instance, taking four hours for each batch. Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This way, Su Xing would have more time spent concocting Divine Strength Pills, increasing the chances of triggering an epiphany! In several, or even dozens of simulations, Su Xing was sure to succeed once, at which point he could consume the Divine Strength Pills. Of course, this was just Su Xing''s idea. Whether it could successfully be implemented still depended on luck. "But before that, reaching the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm is a must!" Su Xing muttered to himself. Chapter 115: Chapter 106: The Unpredictable Assassination, Human Sword Mastery! Su Xing''s face was full of astonishment when he saw this.During the last simulation, he was still a dedicated farmer. But in this simulation, he had become a god of slaughter guarding the Demon-Subduing Pass! Guarding the Demon-Subduing Pass for ten years, honing his sword for a decade, he had forged a blade for slaying enemies and cut down over a thousand Demon Kings! "Goodness, was I really that fierce?" Su Xing hadn''t expected that his future strength in the simulator would have grown to such an extent. Of course, the reason he was able to achieve such a record was inseparable from his constant sword training and enemy killing in the simulator. In the real world, Su Xing''s strength was already very powerful, reaching the level of a Demon King or a Heavenly King, and even among his peers, he was considered superior. But because Su Xing lacked practical combat experience, he would ultimately be at a disadvantage when fighting peers of the same level. In this simulation, Su Xing perfectly avoided this flaw. "Ten years to learn the sword, ten years to hone it, a full twenty years dedicated to the Sword Dao, just how strong is my swordmanship?" Some doubts filled Su Xing''s heart, along with a fiery eagerness, as he couldn''t wait to experience the enemy-slaying sword he had cultivated in the simulator. Su Xing continued the simulation. [In the twenty-second year, your understanding of the Sword Dao has deepened even further, and you seem to grasp what is described in the fundamental doctrine of the Sword Manual: the Human Sword, which means exterminating all enemies under the heavens, the very essence of cultivating the sword.] [In countless life-and-death battles, in ceaseless slaughter, each of your sword strikes carried intent to kill, all meant for slaying the enemy.] [But you understand that this killing intent is not because you have mastered the Sword Intent, but because of the murderous aura you carry from ten years'' worth of bloodshed at the Demon-Subduing Pass. Now, what you need to do is to completely remove this personal killing intent from your Sword Dao and master the most basic swordsmanship and Sword Dao.] [You spent an entire year every day in close company with your sword, Mo Bing, practicing the most fundamental swordsmanship.] [Starting from the most basic sword techniques, beginning with chopping and stabbing, each practice brought new enlightenment, and you were clear about every variation in your movements.] [Through reviewing the old and learning the new, you further simplified the original complex sword techniques, returning to the process of simplifying sword moves in the middle stage of your training.] [A year passed, and in that year, you swung your sword a hundred thousand times. Every stroke you performed was smooth and pleasing, achieving simplicity in the Sword Dao.] [In the twenty-third year, your cultivation level advanced further, and you became a fifth-layer Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.] [But compared to your progress in cultivation, your improvement in the Sword Dao was even greater!] [You took three full years to integrate what you had learned from ten years of practicing the sword and another ten refining it. According to the records of the Sword Manual''s main doctrine, you have cultivated the first realm of the Sword Dao, the Human Sword, to minor completion!] [One day, during your regular sword practice, dozens of mysterious figures broke into your courtyard. These were remnants of the Descending Sect!] [Despite protection from a Martial Emperor Level strongman, facing several Martial Emperors and a legendary assassin, you were still powerless to turn the tide and died under their assassination!] [You died!] [Your Purple Talent refuses to close its eyes in death!] [You glare with wide eyes, seeing the cruel smile on the face of Damned Zong as he slays you.] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing''s brows were tightly knitted as he muttered: "Could it be that I didn''t live to see the day of the great beast''s descent and the world''s end?" Su Xing was somewhat surprised, since in the previous simulations he always made it to the last day. But on second thought, Su Xing found it quite reasonable. In this simulation, he had been exceptionally brilliant. Ten years learning the sword, using the Demon Race as a stepping-stone to hone it for another ten yearsjust over two decades in simulation, and nearly a thousand Demon Kings had died by his hand. And in these more than twenty years of simulation, due to Su Xing''s brilliance, he had also encountered several assassination attempts by the Foreign Race. Moreover, the severity of the assassinations had grown increasingly outrageous, from being besieged by Demon Kings to sneak attacks by Demon Emperors. In the end, Su Xing didn''t even make it back to the real world; he still died at the hands of the remnants of the Descending Sect. In the later stages of the simulation, with the decline of the Human Race''s strength, more and more powerful figures needed to stay at the Demon-Subduing Pass all year round, making the protection for Su Xing inevitably weaker. It was for this reason that the lackeys of the Descending Sect found their chance. "Alas, near the strength of a Martial Emperor and yet, amidst a host of assassinations by the Descending Sect, I still can''t avoid death?" Su Xing sighed, while becoming more vigilant in his heart. "That''s why I must be even more cautious in the real world Dying in simulation is of no consequence, after all, there''s always another chance to simulate, but in the real world, death is truly the end!" Su Xing reminded himself repeatedly. Having a simulator akin to a cheat, he could perfectly remain invincible until the world was at peace before taking action. He must not let himself fall into any crisis! "However, the strength of this swordsmanship is indeed formidable!" "If I could cultivate according to this Sword Manual, combined with my Body Refinement and Qi Refinement dual cultivation strength, I could definitely fight beyond my level!" "Moreover, according to the description in the Sword Manual, if the Heavenly Sword is achieved! You can ascend to immortality and attain the position of a Sword Immortal!" S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thinking of this, Su Xing''s heart grew even more fervent. Who wouldn''t want to become a Sword Immortal? To be a Sword Cultivator is to be synonymous with tremendous strength! Su Xing sighed. Due to the immersive simulation, he still had the entire content of the first volume of the Sword Manual, the Human Sword part, in his mind. Not to mention cultivating all three volumes of Heaven, Earth, and Human, just mastering the Human Sword part alone would be infinitely beneficial to Su Xing! ``` "I wonder what the rewards for this simulation will be, are there options for swordsmanship practice results?" Su Xing had a thought and opened the reward selection for the simulation before him. [Sword Obsession]: Purple Talent, price: 1 million energy points. [Great Perfection in Origin Martial Realm]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, price: 3 million energy points. [Twenty-five Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including a small amount of Divine Strength Pill alchemy experience, price: 700,000 energy points. [Human Sword Cultivation Insights (Minor Achievement)]: Contains the cultivation insights from the first volume of the treasured Sword Codex, specifically the Human Sword section. Ten years of learning the sword, ten years of honing the sword, the Sword Dao is utmost simplicity. The Human Sword section has been cultivated to the level of Minor Achievement, and the Great Achievement level is not far away, price: 3 million energy points. [Ten Years of Battlefield Slaughter Mindset]: Contains the experience of countless battles at Demon-Subduing Pass over ten consecutive years. After claiming, combat experience will greatly increase, as well as unlocking the prelude to Slaughter Intuition (Slaughter Awakening), price: 1 million energy points. [Nascent Soul Stage Fifth Level]: Qi Refining Cultivation, price: 4 million energy points. [Legendary Sword Mo''Bing]: Sword body as dark as ink, sword heart as cold as ice. Price: 30 million energy points. Su Xing''s gaze turned toward the simulation reward options before him. "Sword Obsession is a must-pick talent, I''ve made mistakes twice; this time, I absolutely cannot miss out on a talent for sword practice!" "Moreover, those immersive swordsmanship knowledge pieces I got from the brain simulation, they need Sword Obsession to be fully utilized to their greatest extent." Su Xing first established the priority of the Sword Obsession talent. Following that, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the other options. "Qi Refinement and Body Refinement Cultivation Levels are not urgent at the moment, after all, in this simulation, sword practice was my main focus, so the Sword Dao cultivation level is what''s most important!" "As for this Mo''Bing sword, it''s too expensive! Later on, I''ll see if there''s a way to get a good sword in the real world. After all, there''s a tenfold markup on items taken out of the simulator..." Su Xing''s final choice of gaze moved between "Ten Years of Battlefield Slaughter Experience" and "Human Sword Minor Achievement." "Ten Years of Battlefield Slaughter Experience can even lead to an understanding of the Slaughter Intuition... that''s indeed not bad, as it can increase my practical experience... But I can simply spend twenty years battling in the next simulation at Demon-Subduing Pass to gain even more slaughter experience, there''s no need to waste a choice on it now..." After some hesitation, Su Xing decided to pick the Human Sword Cultivation Insights (Minor Achievement). "I choose the Sword Obsession talent and the Human Sword Cultivation Insights (Minor Achievement level)!" Su Xing silently declared, then a prompt sound rang next to his ear. [You have chosen to take out the Purple Talent Sword Obsession, spending 1 million energy points, remaining energy 12,303,888 points.] [You have chosen to take out Human Sword Cultivation Insights (Minor Achievement), spending 3 million energy points, remaining energy 9,303,888 points.] As Su Xing made his selections, two streams of profound energy entered his body. A plethora of memory fragments surged into Su Xing''s mind. Those were the memories of his ten years of learning the sword, ten years of sharpening the sword, summarizing and elevating twenty years of a sword practice career into an epiphany. When Su Xing had fully assimilated these memories, his understanding of the sword had reached an incredibly deep realm. At this moment, Su Xing felt an impulse in his heart. He wanted a sword, a sword that would be perfect for him! This was the change in Su Xing''s mentality after gaining the Sword Obsession talent. He had an innate love for swords. Su Xing took out a blue-quality sword from his Storage Ring but, after using it for a while, he felt it was not quite to his liking. "Sigh, a blue-quality sword is still too inferior for my needs. Looks like I need to figure out a way to get a better sword!" Su Xing muttered to himself. "I''ll ask Sister Xue for help when I see Jin Congxue next time!" Su Xing sighed lightly. When it comes to finding high-level equipment, it''s best left to Jin Congxue, the heiress of the Jin Merchant Guild! After claiming his rewards, Su Xing resumed his routine of alchemy to make money. One moment he was a Sword Cultivator determined to become a Sword Immortal, and the next, he turned into a relentless alchemy machine. "Sigh, there''s no helping it. To increase my strength I need to acquire more simulation energy!" So, for the following week, Su Xing diligently engaged in alchemy and once again produced five thousand elixirs. Soon a week passed and Su Xing, as usual, met up with Jin Congxue and arrived at her villa. Today, Jin Congxue had transformed into a blue enchantress, donning a blue gown that made her stunningly attractive. After a satisfying meal and drink, Su Xing and Jin Congxue got down to business. Su Xing handed over the elixirs he had crafted that week to Jin Congxue, and in turn, Jin Congxue gave Su Xing this week''s goods. As they were wrapping up, Su Xing asked Jin Congxue, "Sister Xue! Do you have access to high-quality swords? I''ve been practicing swordsmanship recently!" Jin Congxue showed a hint of surprise on her face and teased, "You''re quite the polymath! Not only do you practice alchemy, but you also practice swordsmanship?" After pondering for a while, Jin Congxue said, "The Jin Merchant Guild does have quite a few high-quality weapons, but whether they''re suitable for you, we might not have them in stock..." "Let''s do this, I''ll keep an eye out for you. It might take a week at the shortest, or a month at the longest, but I''ll help you get a good sword!" Su Xing brightened up and quickly said, "I''ll rely on you then, Sister Xue!" ``` Chapter 116: Chapter 107: Do You Fucking Call This a Human Nuclear Bomb? After parting ways with Jin Congxue, Su Xing quickly returned to school and skillfully entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.First, he converted the equipment and instance dungeon items he had received into simulation energy. Su Xing was in luck, this time the equipment and items provided by Jin Congxue contained a total energy close to nine million points. On April 8 of the New Era 2024, Su Xing punctually initiated a new round of simulation. "Start the simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 3,100 energy points, remaining energy 18,301,527 points, unlimited remaining simulation opportunities.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting green talent costs 1,000 energy points, blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, extracting purple talent costs 100,000 energy points, do you wish to extract?] "Nonsense, of course, I''ll extract the purple talent!" Su Xing said resolutely. Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding, congratulations, you have obtained the purple talent, Human Nuke!] [Human Nuke]: You are undoubtedly a human nuke. At the moment of your death, energy equivalent to the explosion of ten thousand Big Ivans will erupt from within you, destroying everything around you. Seeing the purple talent before him, Su Xing''s forehead went entirely dark. "Wait, wait, wait, human nuke means this, right? What good does it do if I''m freaking dead, even if it blows the demonic beasts to oblivion?" Equivalent to ten thousand Big Ivans, Su Xing did not know how powerful it was, but even if it was powerful, it was of no use, right? With this mindset, Su Xing started the simulation with a dark expression on his face. [Within Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you''re in a simulation.] [You feel an inexplicable energy surging within you, and you rush to the bathroom...] [You seriously consider what steps to take next, and after thinking for a while, you decide to refine elixirs first.] [For the next half-year, you diligently practice cultivation daily, and you ensure a sufficient supply of elixirs for Jin Congxue, and in your spare time, you also make contact with the younger schoolmate Wang Qingxuan to foster a relationship.] [Because the Spirit Field Blessed Land is planted with abundant Gathering Spirit Flowers, your strength steadily increases.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan finds you, and after one night, you join the Descending Sect under her guidance.] [After joining the Descending Sect, you choose not to hide your capabilities but directly reveal your strength and talent in alchemy.] [Both Luo Shuying and Damned Zong extend olive branches to you, and without hesitation, you join Luo Shuying''s faction.] [You come clean to Luo Shuying about everything, uttering that secret phrase.] [Luo Shuying chooses to believe you and asks what she can do for you.] [You decisively tell her to help you obtain a large batch of medicinal ingredients from the Descending Sect''s treasury, and Luo Shuying agrees.] [The following year, you successfully get promoted to an elder of the Descending Sect, as the higher-ups trust you due to your good performance in recent months.] [You don''t betray their trust, and within half a year of becoming an elder, you embezzle a significant amount of medicinal ingredients every month.] [You refine Dragon Spirit Pills and Origin Martial Pills monthly, and with their aid, you accelerate your own cultivation. In your free time, you also create Organ Refining Pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills, preparing to gift them to the Great Xia Military.] [That same year, thanks to a sufficient supply of Spiritual Energy, your Cultivation Level advances to the second layer of the Nascent Soul Stage.] [In the third year, feeling that the time is right, and having nearly emptied the Descending Sect treasury through embezzlement over the past two years, you plan to flee with Luo Shuying, not forgetting to move your schoolmate Wang Qingxuan to a safe place before you leave.] [As expected, the higher-ups of the Descending Sect launch a manhunt for you and Luo Shuying. Several protectors are dispatched, with your arch-enemy Damned Zong leading the team.] [Fortunately, you had previously arranged for Lu Yuanwu and other Great Xia top brass to come to your support. They not only successfully escort you to Kyoto but also manage to kill three protectors on the spot!] [The only regret is that Damned Zong only lost an arm and ultimately escaped doom.] [After joining the Great Xia Military, you start mass-producing Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills. In just one year, you refine 60,000 elixirs and, counting the tens of thousands you saved previously, you add more than 20,000 Grandmaster Level experts to Great Xia Country.] [At the same time, you do not neglect your own cultivation, advancing your Body Refinement and Qi Refining Cultivation simultaneously.] [In the fourth year, you refine another 50,000 elixirs, adding another 10,000 Grandmaster Level experts to Great Xia Country.] [That year, with a plentiful supply of Origin Martial Pills and Demon King Flesh Essence to aid you, your Body Refinement Cultivation reaches the eighth level of the Origin Martial Realm!] [In the fifth year, over 50,000 new Grandmaster Level experts are added to the Great Xia Militarythe most in the history of Great Xia Country and the peak of its strength.] [The people from the Great Xia Military hail you as a Hero of the Human Race, the savior in the struggle against the Foreign Race. Many citizens hold an unprecedented hope for the future, believing they can utterly defeat the Foreign Race.] [But you know the gap between your forces and those of the Foreign Race is just too large. Everything you have done is but to buy time.] [In the sixth year, you spend a year refining more than 10,000 Spirit Martial Pills and Dragon Spirit Pills, keeping half for your own cultivation and handing the rest over to the Great Xia Military, hoping to give birth to more Heavenly King Level experts.] [That year, the number of Heavenly King Level experts in the Great Xia Military increases by nearly five hundred.] [In the seventh year, you start producing Soul Condensing Pills. You have achieved a minor level of proficiency in producing them, ensuring a success rate of 50 to 60 percent. You hand over the thousands of Soul Condensing Pills you''ve refined to Luo Shuying, aiding in bolstering both her and her Spirit Race''s strength.] Chapter 117: Chapter 107 Are You Kidding Me? Calling This a Human Nuke?_2 [In the same year, your Qi Refining cultivation broke through to the third level of the Nascent Soul Stage!]Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, the simulator truly was an existence that could reflect his inner thoughts. Even when he didn''t draw a good talent this time in the simulation, Su Xing had already thought about what he wanted to do during this simulation. That was to improve his strength as much as possible and then bring out a sufficiently powerful cultivation level! This way, as soon as Su Xing was successful in refining the Divine Strength Pill, he could ensure that he would break through to become a cultivator at the Divine Strength Realm! "This time, advancing to Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm should not be difficult, it''s just uncertain to what level my Qi Refining cultivation will be able to reach?" A look of anticipation shone in Su Xing''s eyes. For Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, advancing a minor realm could easily take ten, or even dozens of years. This was also because Su Xing possessed a dual True Spiritual Root and had enough Dragon Spirit Pills to accelerate his cultivation, even the spiritual power in the Spirit Field Blessed Land was so abundant. That was what allowed Su Xing to maintain a speed of a realm breakthrough every few years, right? However, the later stages of cultivation are increasingly difficult, and Su Xing wasn''t clear whether he could maintain such an astonishing rate of strength improvement after advancing to the later stages of the Nascent Soul. Su Xing then looked toward the simulation panel before him. [In the eighth year, Luo Shuying successfully broke through to become a Legendary level powerhouse, and the Great Xia Military specially allocated a habitat for the Spirit Race within the Demon-Subduing Pass.] [With the addition of the Spirit Race and the recent strength enhancement of the Human Race, the situation of the Human Race within the Demon-Subduing Pass gradually improved.] [But you did not take it lightly, still instructing Luo Shuying and the soldiers to be extremely cautious.] [For the sake of your own safety, in this simulation, you did not join the battles at the Demon-Subduing Pass; instead, you chose to stay in the real world and cultivate securely. You lived within the safest area of Kyoto, and spent most of your time cultivating in the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [In the ninth year, you remembered that the soldiers would face a sneak attack from the Demon Race in the future, leading to a shortage of supplies.] [So you began preparations in advance. Besides daily cultivation, you spent two other hours every day refining Wound Healing Pills and Fasting Pills.] [In the tenth year, both your Qi Refining and Body Refinement Cultivation broke through, and you became a fourth-level Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, while your Body Refinement cultivation level advanced to the ninth level of the Origin Martial Realm.] [After reaching the ninth level of the Origin Martial Realm, you clearly felt that the rate of increase in your body''s strength and power had slowed down. Therefore, you requested the Great Xia Military to supply you with Flesh Essence of Demon Emperor level.] [In the eleventh year, Luo Shuying brought you a hundred catties of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, for which you expressed your gratitude, and then you began to cultivate your physique even more diligently, enhancing your Body Refinement cultivation level.] [The potency of the Demon Emperor Flesh Essence was far more than that of a Demon King, and the speed of your Body Refinement cultivation quickly accelerated again.] [In the twelfth year, as expected, the Foreign Race launched a sneak attack on the Human Race at the Demon-Subduing Pass, and supplies for the front lines were cut off.] [Just as the higher-ups of Great Xia were anxiously concerned, you took action. You took out several hundred thousand Elixirs that you had refined in advance over the years and had them delivered to the front lines at the Demon-Subduing Pass by a Legendary level powerhouse, resolving the issue of insufficient supplies.] Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly, muttering to himself: "The twelfth year? Why do I remember it wasn''t this year... Strange, these sneak attacks by the Demon Race on the Human Race front-line soldiers seem irregular, or perhaps, I just haven''t discovered the pattern yet?" Su Xing shook his head; he didn''t care which year it was. As long as Su Xing was prepared in advance, refining enough Wound Healing Pills and Fasting Pills, there wouldn''t be too great a loss on the front lines. Thinking this, Su Xing continued to look at the simulation panel. [In the thirteenth year, as your cultivation level grew ever more profound, you found your cultivation increasingly effortless. You began to think of ways to improve the efficiency of your cultivation.] [The Dragon Spirit Pill is specifically for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to increase their cultivation level; its greatest function is actually to expand the cultivator''s capacity to absorb nature''s spiritual energy around them.] [This meant that the thicker the concentration of spiritual energy, the greater the Dragon Spirit Pill would boost the cultivation speed.] [Even though the spiritual energy was already thick enough in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you still found a way to further increase it.] [That was the Little Spirit Gathering Array!] [Knowing that learning and setting up a Little Spirit Gathering Array by yourself would take too much time, you decided to remodel the layout of the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [Recorded in the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, the Gathering Spirit Flower, as a spirit plant, is very fragile in its juvenile stage and requires an extremely conducive environment, but once it reaches maturity, it becomes vigorous. As long as there is spiritual energy, it can survive, with more prosperous growth in places where the spiritual energy is abundant.] [Thus, you decided to plant the Gathering Spirit Flower within the Spirit Gathering Array beneath the Spirit Field Blessed Land!] [You set to work. Aside from cultivating, you spent three months learning the basic principles of the Little Spirit Gathering Array and another month transplanting the Gathering Spirit Flowers to the array nodes beneath the ground.] [Although the range of the Little Spirit Gathering Array wasn''t vast, and the soil beneath wasn''t fertile, the Gathering Spirit Flowers still tenaciously survived and grew progressively more robust.] [As the Gathering Spirit Flowers were planted within the underground Spirit Gathering Array, they continuously released spiritual energy. This energy was incessantly condensed by the Spirit Gathering Array, creating what was akin to an artificial mini spirit vein, continuously powering the Spirit Gathering Array.] Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After planting the Gathering Spirit Flowers beneath the ground, you discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy around the underground Little Spirit Gathering Array had nearly doubled compared to before, prompting you to construct a cultivation chamber below specifically for your own cultivation practices.] [By day, you would emerge above ground to temper your body, enhancing your Body Refinement Cultivation Level. By night, you would cultivate in the underground chamber.] [You found that by doing so, your cultivation efficiency had increased by more than just a margin.] [In the fourteenth year, you decided to try your luck aside from cultivating.] [You would spend two hours every day attempting to concoct a batch of Divine Strength Pills. Although you never succeeded, you still hoped to get lucky and experience a "chance enlightenment," which would allow you to learn how to make the Divine Strength Pill instantly if it occurred.] Su Xing nodded slightly upon reading this and murmured, "Exactly, since the chance of triggering a chance enlightenment is low, just keep trying. Allocate a fixed time each day to alchemy. If it fails, the loss is minor, but if it succeeds, that''s a huge win!" Although Su Xing planned to first reach the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm before contemplating the Divine Strength Pill, if he were to experience enlightenment and learn how to concoct the Divine Strength Pill beforehand, it would undoubtedly save him a great deal more effort. "However, moving the Gathering Spirit Flowers to the underground Spirit Gathering Array, that matter..." Su Xing glanced at the Gathering Spirit Flowers in the distance, shaking his head slightly. For him, the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers he would obtain in the future would only increase, and having seen the place underground, he knew it simply couldn''t accommodate hundreds of these flowers. The only reason he did so in the simulator was to save the time it would take to lay out a Little Spirit Gathering Array. In reality, Su Xing could learn and then set up the Little Spirit Gathering Array above ground, which would clearly be much more useful. Thinking thus, Su Xing shifted his gaze back to the simulation panel. [In the fifteenth year, unsurprisingly, after a year of trying, you did not trigger the chance enlightenment talent.] [But the good news was that within that year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through, and you became a cultivator of Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm!] [That same year, your Qi Refining Cultivation Level also made another breakthrough, advancing you to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!] [In the sixteenth year, after breaking through to Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm, you were amazed to find that the Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence still significantly aided you. Continuing to consume it could still strengthen your physical strength and body, though the increase was much less than before.] [To provide a solid foundation for the later breakthrough into the Divine Strength Realm, you tirelessly worked to enhance your physical strength.] [However, what troubled you was the fact that the Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor level had run out.] Chapter 118: Chapter 108: Su Xing Exploded, The Beast Starts to Have Diarrhea [You tried consuming the Demon King''s Flesh Essence again, but you frustratingly discovered that after raising your cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm, the essence brought an even slighter improvement to you.][Having no choice, you requested Luo Shuying and the general guarding Demon-Subduing Pass to bring you some Demon Emperor Flesh Essence.] [In the seventeenth year, Luo Shuying once again brought you two hundred catties of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence.] [When she handed you the flesh essence, her face was somewhat pale, as though she had suffered no light injury.] [You hurriedly inquired about her injuries, why she was wounded, but she just chuckled, shook her head, and left, mustering her strength.] [Later, you learned from Lu Yuanwu that to obtain the Demon Emperor-level Flesh Essence for you, Luo Shuying personally ventured into the ranks of the Demon Race army, slew two Demon Emperors, but she was also besieged by two Legendary Level Demonic Beasts and barely escaped, while suffering severe injuries.] Su Xing felt moved upon seeing this. Slaying Demon Emperors was not an easy task, not even for Legendary Level powerhouses. Since Demonic Beasts have a much higher vitality than the Human Race, a Legendary Level powerhouse might easily kill a Martial Emperor, but it would be difficult to instantly obliterate a hundred-meter-tall Demon Emperor. After all, they''re huge, extremely vital, like freaking Godzilla. Moreover, on the battlefield, a Demon Emperor would not necessarily act alone. To kill a Demon Emperor amid tens of thousands of Demonic Beast troops and retreat with your life is indeed not an easy matter, even for a Legendary Level powerhouse, who, with one misstep, could fall into danger. And yet, Luo Shuying was willing to risk her life for him. Su Xing sighed and continued to look at the simulation panel. [Afterward, you wanted to help Luo Shuying recover from her injuries as soon as possible, so you concocted numerous Healing Pills.] [But for a Legendary Level powerhouse, the effect of Healing Pills was almost nonexistent. Even the finest Healing Pills only worked on Grandmaster Level powerhouses and were very difficult to use in treating Heavenly King Level ones.] [You revisited Li Fire Alchemy and found a type of healing elixir called Bone Restoration Pill, famed for its ability to mend broken bones and even effective for Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation Cultivators.] [However, you knew that while Bone Restoration Pill could be effective for Legendary Level powerhouses, it would certainly not work wonders instantly, so you found another concoction among the higher-mid tier elixirs, the Revitalizing Pill, which could even heal wounds of Cultivators in the Return to Void Realm and might be miraculous for Luo Shuying.] [Sadly, the main ingredient for Revitalizing Pill, Dragon Pattern Grass, was hard to come by, so you had to give up for the time being; on the other hand, the three medicinal ingredients for Bone Restoration Pill: Silver Moon Flower, Hundred-Year Polygonum and Steadheart Grass, could all be found in the treasure vault of the Descending Sect.] Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows upon seeing this. Indeed, Healing Pills were recovery-class elixirs without a grade, simple to concoct and the ingredients easy to source, effective for the vast majority of professionals at Gold and Master Levels. However, for those powerful professionals, possessing stronger vitality, they could naturally recover from minor injuries. But once seriously wounded, it would be troublesome, potentially taking a year or even several years to heal. To treat these high-tier powerhouses required ingredients containing more life energy, which usually meant heaven-and-earth treasures were needed. The number of higher-level recovery-class elixirs produced in the instance was scarce, but Su Xing was different. His alchemy could stably produce mid-higher level healing pills. Once he succeeded in his research, the strength of the Human Race at Demon-Subduing Pass would increase substantially! Just think, if the Human Race''s Heavenly Kings and Martial Emperor level professionals could recover from injuries in just a few days, they would undoubtedly be able to take on three or even more on the battlefield! Thinking of this, Su Xing murmured, "It seems I will need to pay attention in the future simulations and try to concoct higher-level elixirs." But this wasn''t something to be rushed. Su Xing still started the next simulation. [You tried to find hundreds of Silver Moon Flowers and Steadheart Grasses among the medicinal materials you brought from the Descending Sect, and as for the Hundred-Year Polygonum, it was still plenty available in the Great Xia Country.] [After confirming you had the basic ingredients for concoction, you did not make elixirs but continued to steadily cultivate and increase your own level.] [In the eighteenth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level remained at the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm without a breakthrough. Still, your physical strength had improved by nearly one-tenth compared to when you first entered the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm. You were pleasantly surprised, understanding that it was due to consuming Demon Emperor Flesh Essence for the past two years that the high-level energy essence gradually enhanced your physique.] [This also made you realize something: within the same realm, due to differences in talent and foundation, the strength could be widely disparate, so you tried to make yourself as strong as possible within the same realm.] [In the nineteenth year, you still worked hard to temper your physique and consumed Demon Emperor Flesh Essence daily. The two hundred catties of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence that Luo Shuying had brought you before were now gone. However, in these past few years, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass had intensified. Both Human Race Martial Emperors and Demon Emperors had fallen, thus providing you with sufficient flesh essence.] [Drawing from your previous experience of breaking through the Body Cultivation Realm, you understood that to stably move from the Origin Martial Realm to the Divine Strength Realm, you must strive to enhance your own physical strength. So, besides diligently cultivating your Qi, you put more emphasis on improving your Origin Martial Realm cultivation.] [In the twentieth year, your physical strength improved further. You had increased your strength and physical toughness by nearly two-tenths compared to when you had first entered the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm. As your physical strength grew, you discovered that you could consume more Demon Emperor Flesh Essence daily. You took half a catty of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence every day, and your strength continued to rise steadily.] [That same year, your Qi Refining Cultivation level broke through, and you became a Nascent Soul Stage Six Cultivator!] [In the twenty-first year, your good friend Yu Yan died fighting at Demon-Subduing Pass. You felt sorrowful, but you knew this sadness might continue for a long time, as more familiar friends and relatives would die at Demon-Subduing Pass as the day of the apocalypse drew nearer. Eventually, everyone would die at the hands of the colossal beasts when they descended.] [So you doubled down on your cultivation, desperately enhancing your cultivation level. You feared the arrival of that day, even more afraid of watching your beloved die before your eyes.] [In the twenty-second year, the strength of your physical body became further formidable, and your Qi Refining Cultivation was ever closer to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage.] Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In previous years, you attempted to refine Divine Strength Pills daily, hoping to trigger a serendipitous epiphany of talent, but undoubtedly you failed. Fate had not sided with you, but you believed that as long as you kept trying diligently in each simulation, good fortune would eventually come.] [In the twenty-third year, the quality of your body continued to steadily improve, though it had slowed considerably since you first broke through to Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm. You knew that every stage of cultivation had its limits, and you might be close to touching those limits.] [In the twenty-fourth year, you finally made a breakthrough, successfully advancing to the later stages of the Nascent Soul period and becoming a cultivator of the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage!] [In the twenty-fifth year, the Human Race suffered a disastrous defeat at Demon-Subduing Pass, with hundreds of thousands of Great Xia soldiers perishing in that battle at Demon-Subduing Pass, leading to the collapse of the Pass and the Human Race teetering on the brink of extinction.] [You didn''t expect the apocalypse to still erupt that year. You initially thought it would come later, but it still happened in the twenty-fifth year with the fall of Demon-Subduing Pass. You knew that perhaps time had reached a critical point, and you needed to make as many changes as possible to delay the end of the world to a greater extent.] [With the fall of Demon-Subduing Pass, colossal beasts descended upon the real world.] [That beast, large enough to block out the sun, swallowed the entire Great Xia Country whole, and you were consumed into the belly of the beast.] [You died!] [Your innate ability, Human Nuclear Bomb, activated!] [At the moment of your explosion, your entire body evaporated on the spot, your talent of "unwillingness to die with eyes closed" failed %] [Boom! A human nuclear bomb equivalent to ten thousand super-Tsar Bomba exploded in the belly of the beast, this enormous energy... caused the beast to have diarrhea for several days...] [Ding, this simulation is over!] Su Xing was stunned by this scene. "What the hell, ten thousand super-Tsar Bombas, and it only caused that giant beast to have diarrhea for a few days?" "What level of existence is this giant beast? Could it really be God Level? Or even something higher?" Su Xing''s expression turned grim, a nuclear bomb represented the pinnacle of Blue Star''s technological might. Even a Martial Emperor Level warrior could merely ignore the radiation of a nuclear bomb, not daring to claim they could stand at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion unscathed. Yet these ten thousand super-Tsar Bombas couldn''t even seriously injure the beast, they just gave it indigestion? Reflecting on this, Su Xing understood the long and arduous task ahead. Su Xing''s conviction almost faltered for a time upon realizing the vast disparity between the enemy and himself. Was there really still any point in resisting? Somewhere within, a force was urging Su Xing on, a tenacious belief, and his eyes regained their resolve. "I have the bug-like ability to simulate the future; I can definitely drive out that beast! If not once, then twice; if not twice, then ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times!" "My strength is continuously growing, while the might of the Foreign Race remains unchanged. In this war of attrition, victory will undoubtedly belong to all of humanity!" Su Xing clenched his fists. With his fighting spirit restored, Su Xing began to review this latest simulation. This was a simulation that persisted until the end of the world, Su Xing had lived a sufficient length of time. During this time, Su Xing had nearly accomplished his goals. His body cultivation reached Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm, just a step away from breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm! And his Qi Refining Cultivation had also reached the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage, perhaps with one more attempt, Su Xing could become a cultivator of Great Perfection in the Nascent Soul Stage. So the next goal was to try breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm. The bad news was that the Divine Strength Pill had not been successfully refined, but Su Xing would continue to attempt it. "Besides that, I must also schedule the refinement of higher-level healing elixirs..." Su Xing rubbed his temples, then shifted his gaze to the rewards selection on the simulation panel. Chapter 120: Chapter 110: A Talented Alchemy Dao Prodigy, The Mystery of the Divine Strength Realm! ```"Alchemy Dao genius? Could it be a talent related to Alchemy!?" Su Xing''s face showed a trace of excitement. It''s like a hungry child who comes upon milk! What Su Xing wanted most at the moment was to refine the Divine Strength Pill! He had thought it would require many simulation trials and errors, and that he would ultimately rely on his talent for enlightenment to bring out the Alchemy Experience of the Divine Strength Pill; he didn''t expect to have drawn an Alchemy-related talent now. "Perhaps, I don''t need to wait any longer, with this talent, I can quickly refine the Divine Strength Pill!" Su Xing couldn''t wait to see the effects of his Alchemy Dao talent. [Alchemy Dao Genius]: You naturally possess a sensitivity in the Alchemy Dao that surpasses ordinary people. You have a talent for grasping the proportions of ingredients, the heat of alchemy, and timing, and you also learn new elixir formulas at a faster pace. After seeing the effects of Alchemy Dao Genius, Su Xing''s eyes brightened. This talent was just as he expected, but he wondered how much it could actually improve his abilities? "If I remember correctly, I once drew a green talent called Sword Dao Genius... The word ''genius'' is used in both, but a Purple Talent should be superior, right?" Su Xing thought uncertainly, turning his gaze towards the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You begin to mull over the talent Alchemy Dao Genius that you have drawn. To verify the effects of this talent, you decide to refine several batches of elixirs.] [Sure enough, you discovered that your speed in alchemy has become faster! When it comes to the control of heat and timing during alchemy, you always have a sudden premonition in your heart, feeling as though you possess a miraculous intuitionthis is how the elixir should be refined!] [In the following week, you spend all your time in alchemy, and you find that even with the elixir recipes you are already familiar with, your refining speed has increased by nearly twenty percent, and you vaguely feel that there is still room for improvement.] [Thus, you begin to refine elixirs day and night, constantly familiarizing yourself with your alchemy talent, applying it more skillfully.] [Quickly, a month passes, and on this day, you prepare to head to the Luotian Meeting Instance.] [You had booked a slot a month in advance; now at last, you have a spot. Under the watchful eyes of the instance manager, you step into the Luotian Meeting Instance.] Su Xing feels a stir in his heart and silently chants: "Activate immersive simulation function, duration two hours!" [Ding, you have successfully activated immersive simulation, consuming 200,000 points of energy. Simulation time: 2 hours, remaining energy: 18,879,768 points.] A flash of white light passes before Su Xing''s eyes, his vision shifts, and he soon finds himself in the Luotian Meeting Instance. "Good disciple! Go and ask Uncle Shennong to come! Uncle Shennong lives in seclusion on the back mountain, but he is also one of the leading cultivators in the Luo Tian Sect''s Spirit nurturing lineage, if you have questions, perhaps you can ask him for advice." The thunderous voice reaches Su Xing''s ears. Su Xing focuses his gaze and realizes that the person before him is not his previous master Elder Che, but rather a middle-aged cultivator with a body as strong as an ox, exuding powerful momentum, and with two scars on his face. Su Xing recalls the memories in his mind, the man before him is called Niu Ruolie! His status is that of the Great Elder of the Luo Tian Sect! The master of the Body Refinement summit, the strongest among all the Elders! And this time, in the Luotian Meeting Instance, Su Xing''s identity has changed as well, no longer the disciple of a normal elder but the direct disciple of the Great Elder before him! "Yes, Master!" Although Su Xing agrees verbally, his body doesn''t move. Seeing Su Xing motionless, Niu Ruolie frowns slightly, scratches his smooth head, and asks in confusion: "Xiaochuan, why haven''t you gone to find Uncle Shennong yet?" After hearing this, Su Xing first performs a salute, then asks: "Master, I have some doubts about Body Refinement I''d like to ask you, related to the Divine Strength Realm..." Upon hearing this, a gleam flashes in Niu Ruolie''s eyes: "Hahaha, good disciple! Truly worthy of being a genius of our Luo Tian Sect! Not yet a hundred years old, and already about to break through to the Divine Strength Realm?" "Cough cough, go and invite Uncle Shennong over first. As for your cultivation questions, we can discuss them afterwardit won''t be too late!" After hearing this, Su Xing nods his head and leaves to find Shennong Youtian. Along the way, Su Xing ponders. With the enhancement of his strength, it is clear that his identity as "Luo Xiaochuan" has changed again. Transformed into the disciple of the Great Elder Niu Ruolie. And Niu Ruolie is a powerful cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of Body Refinement. Initially, Su Xing planned to consult with Shennong Youtian about the doubts concerning the Divine Strength Realm, but now clearly he had a better candidate to ask. "Who exactly is this Luo Xiaochuan? What was his original identity?" Doubt rises in Su Xing''s heart, then he shakes his head slightly and heads towards the back mountain. Soon, Su Xing arrives beside Shennong Youtian. Shennong Youtian stands at the center of the Spirit Field, constantly forming seals with his hands, as the large expanse of the Spirit Field rolls and churns like the turning of earth dragons. There are also spirit beasts that are thick as pythons but resemble earthworms, writhing continuously in the Spirit Field. "Did I trigger some sort of plot?" Su Xing''s heart stirs, then without speaking, he waits quietly outside the Spirit Field. After a moment, Shennong Youtian finishes his incantations and walks towards Su Xing. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Nephew Luo, I''ve kept you waiting, did your master call for me?" Shennong Youtian smiles and speaks to Su Xing. Su Xing nods his head, and together they head towards the Luotian Meeting. On the way, Su Xing voices the doubts in his heart: ``` Chapter 121: Chapter 110: A Talented Alchemy Prodigy, The Mysteries of the Divine Strength Realm!_2 ""Uncle Shennong, what spell did you just cast?"Shennong Youtian smiled upon hearing the question and said, "It''s the Earth Dragon Technique passed down from my ancestors. I use it for farming, which makes the Spirit Field much more fertile!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing''s body stiffened for a moment, and thoughts tumbled through his mind. Earth Dragon Technique!? Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Isn''t that one of the spells recorded in the ''Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique''? Why would Uncle Shennong here know it? And the name of Uncle Shennong... For a time, Su Xing''s mind was flooded with thoughts. Initially, Su Xing did not associate Shennong Youtian with the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique; although the names were similar, after all, one came from his master Qing Yunzi, and this place was the Luo Tian Sect, which was vastly different from the Qingyun Sect... But now, Su Xing could not help but connect the two. After careful consideration, Su Xing still couldn''t figure it out. "Uncle Shennong, could it be that the ancestral technique you speak of is the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique?" Su Xing directly asked. Shennong Youtian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What''s been passed down in my family is just some farming stuff, nothing with such an imposing name... Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, that''s quite the impressive title!" Seeing Shennong Youtian''s denial, Su Xing frowned slightly and mused to himself, "It seems I can only investigate this matter later. There may be a connection between the two, but it''s not clear at the moment..." Soon after, Su Xing escorted Shennong Youtian into the Luotian Meeting Instance. Then, Su Xing stood by his master Niu Ruolie and reported back. Niu Ruolie nodded in satisfaction with Su Xing, his face unable to suppress a smile as he said, "Good disciple, if you have any questions, just ask! Today is a good day for me to give you some guidance!" Filled with joy at his master''s words, Su Xing voiced the doubts in his heart, "Master, what exactly is the difference between the Divine Strength Realm and the Origin Martial Realm? How can one in the Origin Martial Realm better break through to the Divine Strength Realm?" Niu Ruolie laughed heartily upon hearing this and spoke proudly, "Good disciple, the Origin Martial Realm is the stage of mastering Origin Force, and it marks the beginning of the journey on the path of Body Cultivation. Compared to the Organ Refining Realm, one''s strength and physique grow tremendously at this stage, but the greatest use is the mastery of Origin Force. If one masters enough skilled Origin Force during this period, the benefits in the future are endless!" Pausing for a moment, Niu Ruolie continued, "However, Cultivators in the Divine Strength Realm mark the true beginning of might for Body Refinement Cultivators! Before reaching the Divine Strength Realm, Body Refinement Cultivators and Qi Cultivation Cultivators each have their own strengths; even the strongest Body Refinement Cultivator, when facing those Qi Cultivation Cultivators who command strange techniques, might be at a disadvantage." "But the Divine Strength Realm is the start of true supremacy, where a Body Refinement Cultivator can shatter all spells with brute force!" "Because once a Cultivator in the Origin Martial Realm breaks through to the Divine Strength Realm, their strength will double! A million jin of strength for an Origin Martial Cultivator will surge to two million jin! A Cultivator with three million jin of higher divine strength will be able to soar to six million jin!" Su Xing''s eyes shimmered with shock upon hearing this. The Divine Strength Realm, so it was, your strength doubles upon breakthrough! Seeing the amazement in Su Xing''s eyes, Niu Ruolie chuckled and said, "Good disciple, that''s just the beginning!" "The Divine Strength Realm isn''t simply about doubling your strength! In the nine levels of Divine Power, your strength increases by thirty percent with each level! When reaching the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, your strength will be ten times that of a Cultivator who has just entered the first level of Divine Strength!" Su Xing was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up with elation. Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, your strength is ten times that of when you first entered the realm!? By that calculation... if Su Xing''s initial strength is five million jin, then it would become ten million jin upon reaching the Divine Strength Realm! Ten times that would be... a hundred million jin!? Or to say, a colossal strength of fifty thousand tons! With such pure physical strength, he could lift an aircraft carrier! Wouldn''t it be fair to say that this was truly the power to move mountains and reclaim seas? If one were to be struck by such a fist... hiss, who could withstand that? At this moment, Su Xing''s gaze darted around excitedly. Seeing the fervor in Su Xing''s eyes, Niu Ruolie said, "Hahaha, good disciple! And that''s not all!" "The Divine Strength Realm is a special realm! Within this realm, no matter how fast your Cultivation Level increases or how solid your foundation is, the increase in strength is fixed at ten times!" "So, this shows just how important it is to have a solid foundation in the Origin Martial Realm! The stronger one is in the Origin Martial Realm, the stronger they will be in the Divine Strength Realm! The strong grow stronger, and the weak grow weaker!" "During the Origin Martial Realm period, one must perfect their strength as much as possible so that they can unleash even greater potential when they reach the Divine Strength Realm!" Su Xing nodded upon hearing this, reckoning that the enhancement from breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm could be an astonishing twenty times greater once one reached the Great Perfection level of the Origin Martial Realm! Therefore, the greater one''s strength in the Origin Martial Realm and the more solid the foundation, the stronger they would be later on. That''s the logic! Thinking of this, Su Xing expressed some doubts: "Master, then what constitutes perfection in cultivation of the Origin Martial Realm?" Niu Ruolie thought for a moment and said: "Origin Martial Realm cultivators are generally divided into three levels." "A lower-grade Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm has a strength of one million catties, and seven or eight out of ten Body Refinement Cultivators are like this." "A mid-grade Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm has a strength of two million catties, and among Body Refinement Cultivators, only one or two out of ten can achieve this." "An upper-grade Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm has a strength of three million catties; among a hundred Body Refinement Cultivators, only one or two could reach such Divine Power..." "If an upper-grade Origin Martial Realm cultivator breaks through to the Divine Strength Realm, then their final strength could even reach sixty million catties! Shattering mountains and rivers with one punch would not be out of the question!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing was momentarily stunned and blurted out: "Then what if one has a strength of five million catties?" Upon hearing this, Niu Ruolie let out a hearty laugh and said: "Foolish boy, don''t jest!" "Even when I was considered the number one person under the age of a hundred in the Luo Tian Realm in terms of Body Cultivation, my strength was only four million catties. When I broke through to the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, my strength was eighty million catties, earning me the title of the strongest in ten thousand years in the Luo Tian Realm!" As Niu Ruolie spoke, a touch of pride appeared on his face: "I do not expect you to be as powerful as I was. As long as you reach a strength of three million five hundred thousand catties, you won''t bring shame to your master..." Listening to Niu Ruolie''s words, Su Xing''s face revealed a hint of peculiarity. A strength of three million five hundred thousand catties he had already reached that long ago! But now he already had a strength of five million catties, and there was even the possibility of further growth... Does this not count as normal? Thus, Su Xing persisted and asked: "Master, are there truly no individuals capable of breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm with a strength of five million catties?" Niu Ruolie considered for a moment, then replied: "I have heard that, in Ancient Times, there was a clan known as the Witch Clan. The members of the Witch Clan possessed Innate Divine Strength and formidable physiques. Ordinary individuals among them stood over ten meters tall, while the Witch Clan giants reached an astounding hundred meters!" "It is said that the Witch Clan is also rumored to be the origin of the path of Body Cultivation..." "Among them, if a member of the Witch Clan reached the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm, it is possible they could possess a strength of five million catties, and even more exceptional individuals, ten million catties... The reason they could reach such strength is because they were born consuming the flesh and Flesh Essence of Demonic Beasts, things that we in the Luo Tian Realm do not have, and thus we are weaker than them... Of course, this is all just legend..." Su Xing''s eyes lit up upon hearing this. Ancient Times, Witch Clan strength of ten million catties... consuming Demonic Beasts'' Flesh Essence... How are these Demonic Beasts related to those of the Demon-Subduing Pass? Su Xing thoroughly digested the knowledge imparted by Niu Ruolie and finally asked: "Master, how does one break through from the Origin Martial Realm to the Divine Strength Realm?" Upon hearing this, Niu Ruolie laughed heartily and said: "Origin Martial Realm cultivators would rather stay in their current realm for a few more years! Doing so would raise their future potential. Why are you already thinking about breaking through?" "Generally, for a Great Perfection cultivator in the Origin Martial Realm, when strength can no longer be increased, they may take a Divine Strength Pill to break through, because reaching the extreme limit of the flesh signifies they are at the peak..." After hearing Niu Ruolie''s words, Su Xing became contemplative. Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. Su Xing muttered to himself in deep thought: "So, the longer one remains in the Origin Martial Realm, the more beneficial it is?" "Ordinary Origin Martial Realm cultivators have a lifespan of just five hundred years... How much longer can they stay?" Su Xing shook his head slightly and turned his attention back to the simulation panel. [You left the Luotian Meeting Instance feeling profoundly moved.] [In the months that followed, you continued to search for the limits of your strength, but disappointingly discovered that without the Flesh Essence of Demonic Beasts, the increase in your physical strength became slow.] [Just when you felt disheartened, Wang Qingxuan found you, and overnight, you joined the Descending Sect.] [You revealed your strength and talent in Alchemy to the Descending Sect, successfully joining the faction under Luo Shuying.] Chapter 126: Chapter 112: The Legendary Sword, Ink Ice! "I''m about to break through!"A thought flashed through Su Xing''s mind, and he immediately sat down to meditate and regulate his breath. Following that, the aura around Su Xing abruptly soared. Nascent Soul Stage seven layers... eight layers... nine layers! Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage! In just a minute, Su Xing''s momentum had risen by three whole levels. After advancing his cultivation level to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, Su Xing did not rush to try out the new mana; instead, he continued to sit with his eyes closed in meditation. After a quarter of an hour, once Su Xing had fully acquainted himself with this power, he slowly opened his eyes and began to understand the enhancement in strength after the rapid increase in his cultivation level. Whoosh! With a thought, a ball of flame appeared in Su Xing''s handit was the Li Fire Technique, a divine skill. Su Xing controlled the flame, making it leap continuously in his hand. From a weak to a fierce blaze, Su Xing experimented constantly. Moments later, Su Xing satisfiedly put away the Li Fire divine skill and muttered, "Not bad, after advancing to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, the density of the spiritual power inside my body has almost doubled! And the quality of the spiritual power has improved too!" "Even if I maintain the Li Fire Technique, I can now go a whole day and night without feeling tired..." Su Xing nodded contentedly. The improvement in his cultivation level meant not only a leap in strength for Su Xing but also... it allowed him to engage in alchemy with greater sustainability and efficiency! After all, for Su Xing at this moment, alchemy was the greatest use of his spiritual power. "Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, this was an expected level of cultivation... but as for the talents of this Alchemy Dao prodigy, how effective is it when actually used?" Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After finishing the simulation, Su Xing began his routine elixir production. The path of cultivation was long and dull; Su Xing must have the patience to produce enough elixirs each week, and only then would his strength improve more quickly! "Thinking back to half a year ago, I was still just a Qi Refinement stage cultivator, equivalent to a bronze-tier professional... and here I am, half a year later, becoming an old Nascent Soul ancestor! I''m almost approaching the strength of the Martial Emperor!" As he continued with alchemy, Su Xing couldn''t help but indulge in wild thoughts; the rapid progression of his skills made him somewhat dizzy with pride. "Damn! I didn''t control the heat properly, this batch of pills is going to be wasted!" Only when he saw the black substance in the pill furnace did Su Xing''s face fall. He was very skilled at making Nourishing Face Pills, yet he never expected that a moment of absent-mindedness would result in failure. "Damn it, I really can''t get ahead of myself! Steady, don''t be rash, Su Xing!" Su Xing chanted to himself a few times, taking a moment to prepare motivational speeches and adjust his mindset. Then, he continued with alchemy. In just one week, Su Xing had produced nearly six thousand elixirs! This was the speed of elixir production that Su Xing could achieve only if he worked tirelessly day and night in the past, but now, he had done it in just ten hours. The efficiency had indeed increased dramatically, leaving Su Xing with two more hours of leisure time. As for sleeping... For Su Xing, now an old Nascent Soul ancestor, it only took an hour of meditation to feel fully reenergized for a day. Soon, a week passed by. Today, Su Xing, carrying his elixirs, was about to head to the villa he regularly visited to see Jin Congxue but received a message from her in advance. "Boss! Come over early today, I''ve prepared a big surprise for you! Want to guess what it is?" Su Xing saw Jin Congxue''s message and smiled slightly before trying to guess in his reply, "Let me guess... Is it the high-quality sword that I asked you to find for me? Did you find it?" Jin Congxue: "... Are you a fortune-teller? How could you guess that?" Su Xing: "Hehe! Do you want me to tell your fortune next, whether it''s about marriage or career?" Jin Congxue: "Stop being cheesy, just come over! Otherwise, I''ll throw this precious sword away! (Roll eyes.jpg)" After exchanging a few words, Su Xing hurriedly made his way towards the villa. Ten minutes later, Su Xing arrived in the room of the villa, where he saw Jin Congxue, dressed in a purple skirt and lightly made-up. Two words, breathtaking! As usual, Su Xing and Jin Congxue first had a meal. Afterward, Jin Congxue mysteriously took out a sword box from her storage ring and handed it to Su Xing. "Come on, take a look!" Jin Congxue urged. Anxious, Su Xing immediately opened the sword box and then saw a sword that was completely black as ink. Su Xing drew the sword from the box, removed its sheath, and immediately felt an irresistible surge of excitement in his heart. It was as if the sword was made just for him... As Su Xing held the sword, he felt a coolness in his heart. It was not the kind of chill that made one uncomfortable but rather a calming coolness that was pleasant. "What a sword!" A gleam flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. In his hands, he felt as if he could sense the sword''s intentions, which was very reassuring. Su Xing knew that it was his Sword Deviant talent working, allowing him to synchronize perfectly with the sword. Su Xing turned his attention to the hilt, where he saw a dark square jade embedded with two dragon-like calligraphic characters carved on it. Ink Ice! Seeing these two characters, Su Xing was momentarily startled. "This sword, is it Ink Ice?" Su Xing exclaimed, oblivious to Jin Congxue standing by his side. Jin Congxue, seeing Su Xing''s infatuated appearance, puckered her lips and said, "Yes! The legendary weapon, Ink Ice! This is one of the few fine sword-class weapons produced in dungeons!" "Do you have any idea how much effort I put into getting this weapon?" Su Xing''s mind was entirely on the sword at that moment, and he hardly heard Jin Congxue''s words. Chapter 127: Chapter 112: The Legendary Sword, Ink Ice!_2 In this world, could things really align so coincidentally?This sword, was the weapon that Su Xing obtained in a previous instance dungeon simulation, valued at tens of millions of energy points, but now, due to an unexpected turn of events, it had returned to Su Xing''s hands... Su Xing had acquired this treasured sword more than a decade earlier than in the simulator. "Could it really be fate?" Su Xing murmured softly. At this moment, the Ink Ice Sword in Su Xing''s hands began to emit a faint humming, as if welcoming Su Xing as its master. "Truly a fine sword!" Su Xing held the Ink Ice Sword in his hand, performing a flourish, and felt an unparalleled comfort in his grasp. Su Xing''s swordsmanship had been honed with the Ink Ice Sword, and now that he had the sword in his hands, Su Xing could use it without any need for adjustment. It was no exaggeration to say that the Ink Ice Sword had increased Su Xing''s strength by at least thirty percent! Becoming partially proficient in the Human Sword technique was also one of Su Xing''s main sources of attack power. Jin Congxue, upon seeing the light humming of the Ink Ice Sword in Su Xing''s hands, was also shocked and said: "I never expected you to gain the sword''s recognition so quickly?" "Even for those swordsmen professionals, gaining a sword''s recognition usually takes at least several years... I have never seen someone so compatible with a sword!" After hearing this, Su Xing raised his eyebrows and said with curiosity: "Gain the sword''s recognition?" Jin Congxue nodded slightly and explained: "Divine swords have a spirit! Although this Ink Ice Sword is not a divine weapon, its legendary quality is already sufficient for it to generate a faint sense of consciousness." "And this consciousness will continue to grow stronger as it interacts with its master..." "A sword with consciousness will even choose its own master, and if it doesn''t like someone, it may even guard against the swordsman, so the suitability of the sword''s character is undoubtedly crucial..." After listening to Jin Congxue''s words, Su Xing felt an even greater fondness for the Ink Ice Sword; this legendary sword was truly in harmony with his own intentions. Su Xing believed that in his hands, the sword would definitely exhibit its greatest power. After carrying the sword close to him, Su Xing resumed discussing important matters with Jin Congxue. He traded the elixirs he had made over the week to Jin Congxue, and in turn, received the new week''s goods from her. After Jin Congxue counted the elixirs, her eyes reflected surprise as she said: "You''ve concocted another six thousand elixirs... Goodness, I really don''t know how you do it, boy!" After hearing this, Su Xing smiled and kept silent, attributing his success to practice. Su Xing, multitasking, was able to concoct two batches of elixirs simultaneously, doubling his alchemy speed, and with his talent, he was making low-grade elixirs. Only one thing to say: it was a piece of cake! Jin Congxue took the elixirs and then said to Su Xing: "By the way, about the instance dungeon for mining exotic metals that you asked me to apply for last time, there has been some progress... The military has just released two mining areas for exotic metals that have been previously mined." "Ordinary guilds apply for secondary mining areas, which are officially mined for decades, and then when they are no longer needed, they are left for civilian use..." After hearing Jin Congxue''s words, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows and asked with doubt: "A previously mined area, can the quality of the exotic metals still be guaranteed?" Jin Congxue nodded and explained: "The mining areas circulated among guilds have actually been mined for over a hundred years, and the efficiency of producing exotic metals in these instance dungeons is extremely low... but there''s still profit to be made, and many guilds are eager for it." "But these military mining areas that have only been mined for a few decades are different. Since they haven''t been used for civilian purposes yet, the amount of exotic metals is actually quite abundant... This is already considered the top mining area an ordinary guild could get." "Of course, these mining areas can only produce first or second-tier exotic metals, any higher... and they''re already controlled by officials." Su Xing nodded slightly. He really didn''t understand these things, and if Su Xing wanted to obtain a large amount of high-grade exotic metals, he could perhaps contact the officials and demonstrate his own value. Then it would be incredibly easy to obtain a high-grade instance dungeon for mining. But doing so, although it would dramatically accelerate his energy acquisition, it would be far too dangerous. Considering the assassination attempt Su Xing experienced during the simulation, he already knew... Before gaining absolute self-preservation strength, Su Xing would never put himself in danger. "Since that''s the case, I''ll leave it to you... I don''t really understand these matters anyway," said Su Xing. Jin Congxue nodded and replied: "Don''t worry, it''s basically settled. My relationship with the military is solid!" "It''s just that the approval process is a bit troublesome. It''s estimated to take at least four to five months, maybe even half a year..." Su Xing nodded after hearing this, not saying much else, but thought to himself: Damn, how could your relationship not be solid? The Martial Emperor of the Great Xia and the general guarding Demon-Subduing Pass are your maternal grandfathers... After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the school and skillfully entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land. First, he exchanged the equipment and instance dungeon items given to him by Jin Congxue for energy. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The goods of this week totaled 9.8 million points of simulated energy. Although it wasn''t as much as last time, it wasn''t little for Su Xing either. An average of ten million energy per week was already more than enough for Su Xing, as long as he saved some in the instance dungeon and did not use immersive simulation. Of course, if his cultivation level advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage or the Divine Strength Realm, that might not be enough anymore. After all, by then, to break through one realm at the Nascent Soil Stage, Su Xing would need a million energy. For the Divinity Transformation Stage, perhaps ten million would be just enough to break through one level... "Sigh, in the end, it''s still a lack of energy!" "Now, I can only hope that Jin Congxue gets the mining rights for the instance dungeon mine approved sooner..." Su Xing said this and then opened the simulation panel. On the afternoon of April 22, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing punctually started a new round of simulations. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 3,300 energy points, leaving a remaining energy of 24,763,003 points, and an unlimited number of remaining simulations.] [Simulation starts!] [Extracting a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and extracting a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Would you like to extract?] Although Su Xing had already anticipated a future shortage of simulation energy, when it comes to saving or spending, the mere hundred-thousand point cost for extracting a purple talent was still affordable to him. Without any hesitation, Su Xing said: "Extract the purple talent!" Immediately after, a prompt from the simulator sounded in Su Xing''s ear. [Congratulations, you have obtained the purple talent: The Brightest Star in the Crowd!] [The Brightest Star in the Crowd]: Purple Talent, wherever you go, you''re the focal point in the crowd. Even walking on the street, the rate of turning heads is one hundred percent. No matter where you are, you''ll attract the attention of those around you. Of course, sometimes attracting too much attention is not a good thing...] Su Xing frowned slightly when he saw the newly drawn talent. The Brightest Star in the Crowd seemed to be a conceptual talent. Su Xing wasn''t sure what use this thing had and could only try it out in the simulation. [Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you''re simulating.] [You take out a mirror to look at your face and find that you''re still as handsome and dashing as ever, with no difference.] [So you proceed to alchemy as usual, preparing to hand over the goods for the next week to Jin Congxue.] [It''s at this moment, the Spirit Chickens you''re raising in the coop look at you, jump out of the pen, and come towards you, chirping as if they want to say something.] [Using your level ten Beast Speech, you successfully hear the chickens'' thoughts: Eh? This bipedal creature is really good-looking! Has any chicken heard that? Everybody, come take a look...] [After hearing the Spirit Chickens'' conversation, you are speechless, then you quickly renovate the chicken coop again to keep them from coming out to look at you.] [But in the following days, no matter where you walk, you draw attention. While walking on campus, an old man riding a bicycle nearly gets hit by a BMW because he was looking at you.] [As a result, you''re hit with a swindle and have to pay out sixty-six thousand!] Chapter 128: Chapter 113: The Seed of Becoming an Immortal, Peeking into the Path of Immortality! Su Xing saw black lines rising on his forehead.What the hell? Because the rate of turning heads was so high, walking on the road got him noticed by an old man riding a bicycle, leading to a compensation of sixty-six thousand? This is way too magical, right? "Indeed, having such a high eye-catching rate is not always a good thing!" With a sigh, Su Xing shifted his gaze back to the simulation panel. [You have realized the trouble this talent brings you, but luckily you don''t go out often. It''s also a fine idea to simply stay in the Spirit Field Blessed Land all day for Alchemy and cultivation.] [One day, you went out to the Luotian Meeting Instance to inquire about the matters of a fourth-grade Nascent Soul.] [In the Luotian Meeting Instance, the person responsible for opening the instance for you was captivated by you and took an extra glance.] [You have entered the Luotian Meeting Instance!] Upon seeing this, Su Xing hurriedly chanted to himself: "Activate immersive simulation function, duration two hours!" [Ding, you have successfully activated the immersive simulation, consuming 200,000 energy points. Simulation time: 2 hours, remaining energy: 24,463,003 points.] As the prompt sounded, Su Xing''s vision began to shift, and he soon found himself inside a palace. Su Xing looked up and saw Elder Niu Ruolie standing in front of him, who he had met in his last simulation. Niu Ruolie came over and patted Su Xing on the shoulder, saying: "Good disciple, you have finally come out of seclusion! Hurry to the back mountain and invite your Shennong Mentor to join the Luo Tian Meeting!" Hearing this, Su Xing nodded, while covertly digesting a fragment of new memory in his mind. "My identity is Luo Xiaochuan, a direct disciple of Niu Ruolie... and also one of the Luo Tian Sect''s strongest twelve Nascent Soul cultivators?" "And also the star disciple who charmed thousands of young girls, ahem... charmed millions of internal and external sect junior brothers and sisters?" "Hiss... It seems my identity has changed again! The twelve strongest Nascent Soul cultivators? Is it because of the double cultivation of Body Refinement and Qi Refinement Nascent Soul?" Su Xing quickly sorted through his thoughts and saluted his master Niu Ruolie, saying: "As you command, Master!" Su Xing headed straight for the back mountain without asking Niu Ruolie about the fourth-grade Nascent Soul. After all, in his opinion, Niu Ruolie appeared to be a Body Refinement Cultivator, so he probably wouldn''t know much about Qi Refinement... Before long, Su Xing saw Shennong Youtian. Shennong Youtian was performing farming magic. Upon seeing Su Xing, he stopped the magic and said to Su Xing: "My nephew! I noticed you from a distance! Are you here to invite me to the Luo Tian Meeting?" Su Xing nodded at his words but felt speechless inside, truly being the brightest in the crowd... Accompanied by Shennong Mentor, Su Xing made his way to the Luo Tian Meeting venue, chatting with his uncle mentor sporadically along the way. Seeing the timing was right, Su Xing finally voiced his doubts. "Mentor Uncle, do you know what a fourth-grade Nascent Soul is, and how to perfectly achieve Divinity Transformation Stage as a cultivator?" Upon hearing this, Shennong Youtian chuckled and replied: "My nephew, I haven''t seen you in over a decade, and I didn''t expect you to have reached the Great Perfection stage of the Nascent Soul... The younger generation is truly formidable!" "But your question about the fourth-grade Nascent Soul, could it be that you''re seeking the path to becoming an Immortal?" Su Xing frowned slightly upon hearing this and inquired: "Mentor Uncle, how is the fourth-grade Nascent Soul related to the path of becoming an Immortal?" Shennong Youtian then said: "To become an Immortal is like a process of an Immortal Seed taking root and sprouting... And to become an Immortal, one must plant an Immortal Seed!" "Throughout history, all the ancestors who have crossed the Tribulation and ascended, without exception, possessed a Nine Revolution Golden Core, for this is the foundation of everything..." "After the Nine Revolution Golden Core, there is the classification of the fourth-grade Nascent Soul, which includes: third-grade Nascent Soul, second-grade Nascent Soul, first-grade Nascent Soul, and the supreme-grade Nascent Soul!" "With a third-grade Nascent Soul, one may reach the Divinity Transformation Stage but may be stuck without great fortune and unable to progress through the rest of their life." "A second-grade Nascent Soul may glimpse the mysteries of Return to Void and enjoy a lifespan of three thousand years!" "A first-grade Nascent Soul may become an Integration Phase or Mahayana cultivator with a boundless lifespan, living for ten thousand years! But without opportunity, one cannot become an Immortal..." "Only with a supreme-grade Nascent Soul is the soil prepared for the planting of an Immortal Seed. Once one reaches the Great Perfection of Divinity Transformation, the Immortal Seed can be planted. When it takes root and sprouts, one may glimpse the secret of becoming an Immortal, with a life as enduring as the heavens..." Su Xing stared at Shennong Youtian, who was speaking animatedly, and for a moment, he was somewhat dazed. Becoming an Immortal... such a distant concept. Throughout history, countless exalted beings in the Cultivation World have aspired to ascend and become Immortals, but how many true Immortals are there in the world? Even with a heaven-defying simulator like his, Su Xing currently dared not contemplate becoming an Immortal. After all, in myths and legends, Immortals are beings capable of anything... Returning to his senses, Su Xing asked the Shennong Mentor in front of him: "So, by condensing a supreme-grade Nascent Soul, one can become an Immortal?" Shennong Youtian shook his head slightly and said: "To be precise, on the path of Qi Refinement, one must condense a supreme-grade Nascent Soul to stand a chance of becoming an Immortal..." Su Xing nodded at these words, understanding that this was a necessary but not sufficient condition! Therefore, Su Xing asked further, "So, how are these four types of Nascent Souls differentiated, and how can one achieve a superior Nascent Soul?" Shennong Youtian replied, "By consuming an Infant Tempering Pill and passing through the five trials of lust, fear, greed, pride, and anger, one can achieve a superior Nascent Soul!" "Simply taking an Infant Tempering Pill is not difficult, since the sect provides them. With your Nine Revolution Golden Core technique, you can take up to three Infant Tempering Pills, which directly allows you to achieve a first-grade Nascent Soul." "Achieving a first-grade Nascent Soul is not difficult; the challenging part is passing the five trials. Only by overcoming trials of lust, fear, greed, pride, and anger can your mind be firm enough to achieve a superior Nascent Soul..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing immediately felt a headache coming on. For now, he put aside the issue of the trials of the heart, but even getting his hands on the Infant Tempering Pill was a problem for Su Xing. If Su Xing didn''t have the herbs required to craft the Infant Tempering Pill, then the trouble would be significant. So Su Xing hastily asked, "Uncle-Master, what is the recipe for the Infant Tempering Pill? Your nephew is very interested..." Upon hearing this, Shennong Youtian curiously said, "What use would that have for you? With your status and position, you could simply go to the Alchemy House and receive it..." Su Xing: "..." Damn it, if he could take things out of the Luotian Meeting Instance, would he still be prattling on here? Su Xing lifted his eyes to look at Shennong Youtian. Seeing the sincere look in Su Xing''s eyes, Shennong Youtian sighed and said, "Well then, since my nephew shows a keen interest in the art of alchemy, your Uncle-Master will give you a helping hand." With that, Shennong Youtian pointed at Su Xing''s forehead, and Su Xing suddenly felt a cluster of memories appear in his mind. The formula for the Infant Tempering Pill! The main ingredient was Three-tailed Phoenix Grass, supplemented by Snow Jade Bone Ginseng... Aside from these two ingredients, the rest were common herbs, which Su Xing could find a way to obtain. But the key was these two ingredients, which Su Xing had never even heard of! "Now I''m really in trouble! Not only is the Divine Strength Pill difficult to craft, but even this Infant Tempering Pill is out of reach!" Su Xing sighed. His only hope now was that the Descending Sect''s treasury or the seeds left by Qing Yunzi contained these two herbs. Su Xing and Shennong Youtian hurried towards the Luotian Meeting. Along the way, Shennong Youtian was all smiles and laughter, whereas Su Xing wore a look of worry and frustration. After delivering Shennong Youtian to the Luotian Meeting, Su Xing rushed to the Scripture Pavilion nonstop and found the Herb Compendium. He noted down the appearance of the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass and Snow Jade Bone Ginseng, as well as how to identify their seeds. Soon, two hours passed, and Su Xing returned to the real world. After returning to the real world, Su Xing frowned and sighed, "Sigh, I hope I can successfully find the herbs..." Su Xing looked towards the simulation panel. [You have left the Luotian Meeting Instance and returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [You have opened a bag of seeds left to you by Qing Yunzi and with your Divine Sense scanned them one by one, finally finding a few seeds that may be the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass!] [You have planted these seeds, but did not find the Snow Jade Bone Ginseng, so you felt somewhat irritated and could only hope to find them in the Descending Sect''s treasury.] [In the following months, apart from refining elixirs day and night, you also carefully took care of the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass. Unfortunately, the plant grew extremely slowly. According to the formula''s record, the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass is a type of grass rumored to be favored by the phoenix. It sprouts a tail every hundred years, maturing only after three hundred years!] [But you had no choice but to wait, nourishing it daily with Wood Type Spiritual Energy, hoping it would take root and germinate sooner.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan came to find you, and overnight, you both joined the Descending Sect.] [Upon joining the Descending Sect, you revealed your cultivation level and alchemy talents and requested to become an Elder. The Descending Sect agreed to your request, as long as you completed a few simple alchemy tasks, they would grant you the position of Elder.] Su Xing looked at this and slightly frowned. The cultivation of the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass was more difficult than he had imagined. Three hundred years... even if he had an affinity for plants and daily nourished it with Spiritual Power, it would probably still take sixty to seventy years... Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Taking twenty-five years for one simulation at maximum count, Su Xing would need to use the simulation three times and waste three chances at selecting rewards just to bring out the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass. This was something Su Xing could not accept. "Is there no other way to accelerate the maturation of the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass..." Su Xing considered the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, an infinitely profound art that was almost as vast as a novel of tens of millions of words. Su Xing had never had the time to read it, let alone memorize it. Until now, his application of the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique had been limited to raising chickens and learning about the Spirit Gathering Array. But now, Su Xing could only rely on the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique. With this thought, Su Xing looked towards the simulation panel. [You realized that it would take too long for the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass to mature, and you couldn''t wait that long, so you perused the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique left by Qing Yunzi.] [The contents of this Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique were vast like the sea, and it took you a month to find some techniques within the book that could accelerate the maturation of Spirit Plants.] [You decided to try learning the Earth Dragon Technique and the Spirit Dew Technique!] [The Earth Dragon Technique involves cultivating Earth Dragons in fields to continuously till the land, enriching the fertility of the Spirit Field...] [Earth Dragons of sufficient age could even double or multiply the fertility of the Spirit Field several times over, thereby speeding up the maturation of the Spirit Plants!] [As for the Spirit Dew Technique...] Chapter 129: Chapter 114: Sudden Enlightenment, the Powerful Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique! [The Dew Collecting Technique involves absorbing the dew that condenses on spirit plants every early morning, which not only nourishes the spirit plants themselves, accelerating their growth, but is also a valuable medicinal ingredient capable of being used to refine Wound Healing Pills.][The next day, you found Luo Shuying and explained the situation to her, speaking the coded phrase to gain her trust.] [With her help, you obtained medicinal ingredients from the vault of the Descending Sect, but regrettably, you did not find the Snow Bone Ginseng.] [Having no choice, you had to temporarily set aside the search for the Snow Bone Ginseng and focused on studying the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique.] [So, in the following months, you tried to learn the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique and attempted to master these two spells. You gained a lot from the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique and increasingly felt that this Dao Art was unfathomably profound.] [Months passed, and you had only grasped the basics of the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, not even managing to perform both spells.] [However, during these months you refined many elixirs and successfully advanced to the position of an Elder within the Descending Sect.] [As an Elder, you had more freedom with your time, so you dedicated yourself even more to researching the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, deciding to first master the Dew Collecting Technique.] [In the second year, as you continued to study diligently, you finally achieved a basic understanding of the Dew Collecting Technique.] [Each morning, you rose on time to collect the spiritual dew condensing on the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass and cast your spell.] [You noticed that the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass was flourishing, growing much faster than before.] [In addition, the Dew Collecting Technique greatly benefited the other spirit plants in the spirit field; the Divine Power Vine grew even better, the Spirit Grains in the field became more delicious and tasty, and even the Gathering Spirit Flower, after having the Dew Collecting Technique used on it, could reciprocate with more Spiritual Energy.] [Therefore, you became even more motivated, immersing yourself daily in mastering the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique and learning the Dew Collecting Technique, feeling that the rewards were substantial.] [In the third year, one day while you were using the Dew Collecting Technique, you suddenly felt an epiphany, as if you could sense the emotions of every blade of grass and tree around you. You realized something, immediately sat down cross-legged, and digested this insight.] [A day later, you slowly opened your eyes and found that your mastery of the Dew Collecting Technique had surged forwardyou had successfully reached the Minor Achievement level!] Su Xing, upon seeing this, couldn''t help but exclaim: "Damn! Finally triggered a serendipitous enlightenment! Isn''t the probability for this talent too low? It took almost three or four simulations to trigger once... on average, it would take sixty to seventy years to have one occurrence..." "It''s a bit of a pity though, it would have been great if it happened while refining the Divine Strength Pill! By then I would have been able to master the refinement of the Divine Strength Pill!" Su Xing shook his head slightly and continued to look at the simulation panel. [After the Dew Collecting Technique reached Minor Achievement, you were able to plant spirit plants even faster. According to your estimates, the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass would only take forty years to mature, doubling the speed!] [Every day, in addition to farming, you had plenty of time, so you decided to use this time to first refine the Soul Condensing Pills that Luo Shuying needed.] [Several months later, you handed the refined Soul Condensing Pills to Luo Shuying, and she thanked you many times, further deepening her trust in you.] [In the fourth year, you felt the time was ripe, and staying in the Descending Sect wouldn''t bring you any more benefits. And without the enhancement from the Demon Emperor''s flesh and blood, your body''s strength was improving slowly, so you decided to defect from the Descending Sect.] [Coincidentally, at that time Luo Shuying had successfully broken through to Legendary Level, and you were more confident about your defection, also planning to take the chance to kill the damned Zong Elder.] [You had contacted the higher-ups of Great Xia in advance, and on the day of your defection, indeed, several protectors and Elders came to hunt you down.] [The only thing that disappointed you was that the damned Zong Elder still didn''t show up, and you could barely kill a few protectors and Elders to vent your frustration.] [After joining the Great Xia Military, you handed over the hundred thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills you had accumulated over the years, adding twenty thousand Grandmaster Level powerhouses to Great Xia Country!] [At the same time, you began to search through the Great Xia treasury for precious medicinal ingredients, hoping to find any information on Snow Bone Ginseng.] [You did not find the Snow Bone Ginseng, but you collected many common spiritual medicines and continued to refine medicinal ingredients for the Great Xia Military.] [In the meantime, you were refining elixirs while trying to learn the Earth Dragon Technique.] [In the fifth year, with your help, Great Xia Country birthed another ten thousand Grandmaster Level powerhouses and hundreds of Heavenly King Level powerhouses.] [Simultaneously, your understanding of the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique deepened, and you finally made a start at the Earth Dragon Technique.] [You also finally understood what the Earth Dragon was. The Earth Dragon was actually earthworms, but these earthworms were full of spirit. Under the nourishment of Spiritual Energy and special nurturing secret techniques, these spiritual earthworms could even grow to several meters long, resembling pythons, and only then could they be termed Earth Dragons.] [But Earth Dragons are close to their owners, actively helping to fertilize the land, and as long as you have a contract with a sufficiently spiritual Earth Dragon, the rest of the spiritual earthworms will obey orders, loosening the soil in the spirit field while the spiritual plants grow extremely quickly.] [Besides controlling Earth Dragons, the Earth Dragon Technique could also be actively used to change the surrounding land''s structure and shape to benefit farming even more.] [Therefore, the Earth Dragon Technique is actually a comprehensive spell, capable of not only commanding spirit pets but also casting Earth Type spells, offering both offense and defense...] [In the sixth year, while studying the Earth Dragon Technique, you also decided to learn about the previously understood Spirit Gathering Array. This time, you wanted not just to understand the principles behind formations, but also to master how to set up a Spirit Gathering Array.] Su Xing marveled as he continued to read. "This Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique truly is a divinely gifted Dao Art!" "Not only does it possess healing spells like the Dew of Spirit spell, but it also includes the Earth Dragon spell for commanding Spirit Pets, and even the Spirit Gathering Array formation is encompassed within it..." "If one were to thoroughly master the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, the benefits would be boundless!" Su Xing slightly shook his head; previously, he always overlooked this Dao Art, knowing only that its grade was quite high, but he had never thoroughly pondered it. Because compared to the nurturing technique, Alchemy appeared to be a faster way to accumulate energy and was more beneficial for the enhancement of his strength. However, upon closer inspection now, he realized that the nurturing technique and Alchemy were indeed complementary. sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The nurturing technique could better cultivate Spirit Plants and command Spirit Pets, thereby improving the refinement of elixirs, to an infinite benefit! "This Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique is indeed profound, but learning it is too difficult. If I can master even a fraction, it will definitely be of great advantage!" Su Xing thought so in his heart and silently increased the priority of studying the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique. Su Xing continued to simulate. "While you were learning the spells within the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, you tried to set up a Spirit Gathering Array. Setting up the formation proved more difficult than you imagined, and it required a large amount of Spirit Stones." "Fortunately, you have kept those one thousand Spirit Stones unused, and you begin to attempt to set up the formation." "That same year, you exhausted all the Essence-Nourishing Herbs and other Spiritual Medicines brought from the Descending Sect, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level powerhouses and hundreds of Heavenly King Level powerhouses to Great Xia Country." "In the seventh year, the number of Spirit Stones in your hand dwindled, not from cultivation, but because each failed attempt at the Spirit Gathering Array consumed some Spirit Stones." "In just two years'' time, you had less than two hundred Spirit Stones left." "Thus, you had to learn the setup of the Spirit Gathering Array with even greater caution and focus." "In the eighth year, after three years of effort, you finally mastered the basics of the Spirit Gathering Array. You used a few Spirit Stones to set up a small Spirit Gathering Array near the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass, which then grew more pleasantly." "In your estimation, the Dew of Spirit spell, the Earth Dragon spell, and the small Spirit Gathering Array, working simultaneously, along with your daily nurturing with Spiritual Power and the bonus from your plant affinity talent, would allow the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass to mature in just twenty to thirty years." "In the ninth year, the Great Xia Military slew two Demon Emperors, from which you successfully obtained two hundred jin of Flesh Essence." "Therefore, in addition to daily farming and studying the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, you began to focus on enhancing your own Cultivation Level." "In the tenth year, after consuming Flesh Essence for a year, the strength of your physical body increased slightly. In just one year, your strength increased by 200,000 jin to reach 5.2 million jin!" "That same year, you began to attempt the refinement of Divine Strength Pills, hoping to try your luck and trigger another fortuitous epiphany." "In the eleventh year, with the ongoing intensification of the war at Demon-Subduing Pass, every year saw the death and injury of Emperor Level powerhouses, and you also acquired a stable source of Flesh Essence." "This year, your physical strength reached 5.5 million jin!" Su Xing saw this and was delighted. "As long as my strength continues to grow, that''s good! It''s only increased by about ten percent in two years, which is somewhat slow, but at least it''s a stable increase. This indicates that my body hasn''t reached the limit of its potential yet!" Su Xing felt somewhat fortunate that, in addition to a high limit for his strength, an abundant supply of Flesh Essence from the Demon Emperor and likely his Divine Strength talent, were important factors. The better one''s basic physique, the higher the potential upper limit of one''s bodily strength. Su Xing continued to simulate. "In the twelfth year, you spent three hours each day refining a batch of Divine Strength Pills. You were meticulous in your refinement, hoping to trigger an epiphanic talent through constant refinement." "That same year, your physical strength increased by 180,000 jin. As your strength continuously improved, you felt that your potential limit was gradually being reached, and the rate of strength increase became slower and slower." "In the thirteenth year, you continued to attempt the refinement of Divine Strength Pills. After three years of refinement, you had only two Divine Strength Vines left and believed the chances of success were not high." "In the fourteenth year, your physical strength increased by 150,000 jin, and the total strength of your body had reached 6 million jin!" "This had far surpassed the initial Niu Ruolie, approaching the strength of the ancient Witch Clan, as mentioned in legends." "In the fifteenth year, after consuming the Flesh Essence, the strength of your body increased by 100,000 jin in one year; you felt the increments of your improvement getting lesser." "One day, while you were refining the Divine Strength Pill, you suddenly had an insight and fell into a mysterious state" (There will be another chapter at 12 o''clock tonight~) Chapter 130: Chapter 115: Sudden Enlightenment Triggered, Divine Strength Pill Finally Achieved! Su Xing''s heart leaped with joy upon seeing this. Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Finally, I''ve been waiting for you! I''m glad I didn''t give up! His gaze turned to the simulation panel. [You have triggered a talent epiphany. As you ponder the elixir in your hand, the alchemy details that puzzled you in the past now become crystal clear. You seize the moment to start crafting Divine Strength Pills.] [You immerse yourself in the crafting of Divine Strength Pills, and before you know it, three days have passed.] [When you come back to your senses, you realize you''ve used up the entire vine of Divine Strength Tendril, and before you, there are exactly 200 Divine Strength Pills laid out!] [These Divine Strength Pills are uniformly smooth and have an enticing color, with several of them being of exceptional quality.] [Your Divine Strength Pill crafting has reached the Mahayana level!] Seeing this, the corners of Su Xing''s mouth crazily turned upwards. "Finally, my wait has paid off! An epiphany! "Damn it, I thought the talent wasn''t working after several simulation attempts... but to think it would trigger twice in one go! My luck is truly defying the heavens!" Su Xing was ecstatic, never having imagined that a single epiphany could advance his Divine Strength Pill crafting to Mahayana level! This meant that Su Xing''s success rate for crafting Divine Strength Pills would reach over ninety percent, and there was also a chance of producing exceptional quality pills. "If an average vine of Divine Strength Tendril can yield 200 Divine Strength Pills, then five vines can produce a thousand pills!" Su Xing did some quick calculations and realized he suddenly had an additional powerful skill in the simulation. A thousand Divine Strength Pills, if administered to individuals at the Heavenly King Level, would require more than ten pills each for a substantial enhancement, and if calculated based on the birth of one Martial Emperor out of every three Heavenly Kings... At best, it could produce over thirty Martial Emperor Level professionals, and even forty with some luck! "Damn, there are fewer than fifty Martial Emperor Level powerhouses in the entire Great Xia, right? If you think about it... it could nearly double the number of Martial Emperor Level powerhouses!" Su Xing thought to himself that this was his own plan, and of course, whether it could be implemented or not would depend on the specific circumstances. "After grasping the method of crafting Divine Strength Pills, I must choose alchemy experience as the reward for this simulation... and together with the previously comprehended Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, it''s pretty much a sure thing..." Su Xing stroked his chin, already starting to plan ahead, which would determine how he would proceed with his next simulation. "So, since I will be taking alchemy experience, I might as well learn a few more elixirs. The previous Wound Healing Pill was great for treating Heavenly King Level fighters... and the Bright Mirror Pill also had good effects..." Su Xing had a plan in mind as he looked towards the simulation panel. [After crafting Divine Strength Pills, you were eager to try their effects.] [But you knew you hadn''t reached your limit yet, and consuming Divine Strength Pills too early would be more loss than gain...] [Therefore, you gifted the Divine Strength Pills to the Great Xia Military, hoping to help Great Xia Country breed more Martial Emperor Level powerhouses, thereby extending the simulation time.] [After completing the Divine Strength Pills, you began attempting to craft Bright Mirror Pills.] [In the first month, you crafted thirty batches of Bright Mirror Pills, achieving successful creation from one batch and gradually getting a feel for the Bright Mirror Pills'' crafting method and details.] [In the second month, you crafted thirty batches of Bright Mirror Pills, with three successful batches, a one in ten success rate, signifying you had finally grasped the basics.] [In the fourth month, you crafted thirty batches of Bright Mirror Pills, with ten successful batches, approaching a one-third success rate.] [In the sixth month, your success rate in crafting Bright Mirror Pills finally exceeded fifty percent.] [Due to your unique talent in alchemy, combined with learning the crafting of Divine Strength Pills, your alchemy skills have greatly improved, and you''ve taken to the crafting of Bright Mirror Pills with ease.] [In the sixteenth year, your Bright Mirror Pill crafting skills reached the minor accomplishment level, and you began attempting to craft Bone Growth Pills.] [Bone Growth Pills, being advanced healing elixirs similar to Bright Mirror Pills and considered low-grade, weren''t complex for you to learn.] [Furthermore, Spirit Dew, one of the ingredients in crafting Bone Growth Pills, is something you collect daily, saving a portion for crafting the pills.] [In the seventeenth year, your Bone Growth Pill crafting skills also reached the minor accomplishment level.] [In the same year, thanks to your help, Great Xia Country birthed ten new Martial Emperor Level powerhouses, greatly strengthening the forces at Demon-Subduing Pass!] Su Xing paused and murmured to himself: "Two hundred Divine Strength Pills can create ten Martial Emperor Level powerhouses... on average, one from every two seasoned Heavenly Kings... that''s a higher rate than I expected!" Su Xing was delighted, which meant that with his thousand Divine Strength Pills, he could add fifty Martial Emperor Level powerhouses to Great Xia! "And now that I''ve got a grasp on pill crafting, it''s time to think about refining the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique..." "As for breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, realizing there was no rush. With Divine Strength Pills mastered, was the Divine Strength Realm still far off? Exchanging cultivation level for Divine Strength Realm would be impractical if it meant giving up alchemy experience, after all, Divine Strength Pills were fundamental, and priorities should not be reversed. Thinking this way, Su Xing turned his attention back to the simulation panel. [In the eighteenth year, with the addition of ten Martial Emperor Level powerhouses, the strength at Demon-Subduing Pass surged, and you began receiving more abundant Flesh Essence from Demon Emperors every year.] [But your body was clearly nearing its limit, and the growth of your strength slowed down.] Chapter 131: Chapter 115: Sudden Enlightenment Triggered, Divine Strength Pill Finally Achieved!_2 [On the nineteenth year, the dozens of spirit earthworms that you had nurtured over more than a decade, bathing daily in spiritual energy, had grown increasingly stout and had developed sentience.][One of the spirit earthworms had become as thick as an arm, and as they cultivated the spirit field every day, the growth of the spirit plants within your field became even more gratifying.] [In the same year, the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass you planted had grown its second phoenix tail, getting closer to maturity.] [On the twentieth year, you persisted in tempering your body, and finally, your physical strength reached 6.8 million catties.] [But you can now only increase by twenty or thirty thousand catties each year, and you estimate that the limit of your body''s potential is probably around 7 million catties...] Su Xing felt somewhat disappointed upon seeing this. "The limit is only 7 million catties of strength... That''s still a considerable gap from the rumored Witch Clan..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, for it was rumored that the geniuses of the Witch Clan could reach 8 million catties. Despite possessing the Innate Divine Strength Talent, it seemed his potential was still inferior to that of a Witch Clan genius; he probably had the Body Refinement talent equivalent only to a slightly more powerful descendant of the Witch Clan. [In the twenty-first year, you continued to study the knowledge of spirit plants in the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique; you began to understand the medicinal properties of each spiritual medicine, the conflicts between ingredients, as well as how to cultivate spiritual medicines.] [On the twenty-second year, you finally mastered the basics of the small Spirit Gathering Array; you could ensure a success rate of over fifty percent when forming the array, and could manipulate the surrounding spiritual energy to control the strength of the small Spirit Gathering Array.] [In the same year, the strife between the Human Race and the Foreign Race at Demon-Subduing Pass intensified; nearly every month, powerhouses of the Heavenly King and Martial Emperor levels were severely injured.] [You hastily concocted a batch of Bone-Healing Elixirs, significantly reducing the death rate of frontline Heavenly King level powerhouses.] [In the twenty-third year, Demon-Subduing Pass was still standing firm, and the Human Race continued to hold on.] [In the twenty-fourth year, you were subject to an assassination attempt by the Descending Sect; they had learned that the elixirs were concocted by you and even discovered your hiding place, willing to infiltrate Kyoto to eliminate you, the thorn in their side.] [Fortunately, Luo Shuying protected you; for your own safety, you decided to stay within the confines of the Spirit Field Blessed Land, minimizing the number of times you left.] [In the twenty-fifth year, although the casualties of the Human Race at Demon-Subduing Pass continued to mount, fresh blood was infused annually, and it remained steadfast.] [In the twenty-sixth year, an endless horde of Demonic Beasts crazily breached Demon-Subduing Pass, and the pass was broken.] [In the same year, a colossal beast descended upon the real world and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp.] [You died!] [Your Purple Talent activates in deathly resistance...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing stood rooted to the spot. "Damn it, Demon-Subduing Pass seemed to be in a favorable situation... and yet it was breached the following year... What exactly happened?" Su Xing frowned slightly, utterly puzzled. "It seems that the power at the Martial Emperor level is still not enough to sustain Demon-Subduing Pass for long... Did it really only last one more year? This indicates that the Foreign Race had not been exerting their full strength before... Otherwise, Demon-Subduing Pass would have been breached even earlier!" Su Xing sighed, having only prolonged the inevitable by one year, less than he had anticipated. "Well, let''s just see the simulation rewards! The rewards this time are too generous!" Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation reward selection panel. [The Brightest Among the Crowd]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Twenty-six Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, slight increase learned in elixir experience, newly learned to minor perfection the Mirror Clarity Pill, major perfection the Divine Strength Pill, and minor perfection the Bone-Healing Pill, priced at 3 million energy points. [Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Entry level)]: Includes entry-level experience in small Spirit Gathering Array, Earth Dragon Technique, and minor perfection in Dew Technique, priced at 3 million energy points. [Three-tailed Phoenix Grass (Ten stalks)]: Three-tailed Phoenix Grass from 280 years, close to maturity, priced at 10 million energy points. Looking at the rewards on the panel, Su Xing did not hesitate much. "Sigh, I also want to be the brightest among the crowd! But this alchemy experience and the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique are too tempting!" Su Xing sighed, but his lips curled upward uncontrollably. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I choose the alchemy experience, and the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique!" [You have successfully brought out twenty-six years of alchemy experience, spending 3 million energy points, leaving you with 21,463,003 energy points remaining.] [You have successfully brought out the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Entry level), spending 3 million energy points, leaving you with 18,463,003 energy points remaining.] The notifier of the simulator sounded in Su Xing''s ears, and shortly afterward, a wealth of memories suddenly flooded his mind. All these memories were about the knowledge contained within the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, including the minor Spirit Gathering Array, Earth Dragon Technique, Dew Spirit Technique, and some knowledge on planting methods for spirit plants. Then followed the influx of alchemy experience, Su Xing succeeded in mastering the production of Divine Strength Pills, feeling that he would definitely handle making them effortlessly. In addition to that, Su Xing also learned to produce Clear Mirror Pills and Bone Growth Pills. One could say that as long as there were ingredients, Su Xing could easily concoct a batch of Bone Growth Pills. After a long while, Su Xing opened his eyes, his face slightly shocked: "Hiss~ This Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique is actually so powerful..." Su Xing twitched the corner of his mouth, already somewhat regretting not having chosen the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique earlier. After all, each of the three spells it contains is incredibly powerful and endlessly mysterious. "Dew Spirit Technique requires either Wood Type or Water Type spiritual roots to learn... Fortunately, with my Wood Type spiritual root, I can cast it!" "Just consuming the Dew Spirit is equivalent to a high-class healing medicine, not to mention it''s an important ingredient for many advanced healing drugs! Learning it is truly a blood profit..." Su Xing then let out another sigh, saying: "It''s just a pity that the Earth Dragon Technique is divided into two chapters. The spell that controls the shape and structure of the land requires an Earth Spirit Root to cast..." "Sigh, but learning the method to command the Earth Dragon is decent enough..." Su Xing opened his attribute panel. [Name: Su Xing] [Age: 21 years old] [Profession: Cultivator (Unique Hidden Profession)] [Cultivation Level: Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection, Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection Layer] [Cultivation Technique: Changchun Technique, Concocting Elixir Secret Method] [Talent: Sword Madman, Epiphanies, Alchemy Prodigy, Big Eater, Dual Wood Fire True Spiritual Roots, Innate Divine Strength, Handsome as Pan An (omitted)...] [Skills: Departing Fire (Small Success), Alchemy (Small Success), Spirit Explosion Technique (Small Success), Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Beginner Level), Fifty-Zhang Divine Sense (Five Senses Realm), Origin Force Mastery (Enveloping Level), Three Talents Sword Technique (Human Sword Small Success)] [Equipment: Spirit Sword Mo Bing] Through these simulations, Su Xing had made considerable improvements in his strength. Not only had he learned quite a few new skills, but his power had also reached the peak of his current realm. "Well, the next step is to figure out how to break through to the Divine Strength Realm..." Just thinking about the significant increase in strength that a realm breakthrough would bring filled Su Xing with motivation. Consequently, Su Xing started to hustle with alchemy. Soon, a week passed by. Su Xing had burned through six thousand elixirs and then went to see Jin Congxue. After a simple meal and discussing serious matters (and ribbing each other), Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land. He converted that week''s goods into simulation energy, adding over ten million in energy. On April 29, 2024, New Epoch, on the day of Su Xing''s birthday, he did not slack off and began a new theoretical simulation punctually. "Sigh, there are only a little over twenty years left until the end of the world. Only the strong deserve to celebrate birthdays!" "Begin simulation!" Su Xing muttered to himself. [Ding! This simulation will consume 3400 points of energy, leaving a balance of 28,534,396 points. Remaining number of simulations: unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a green talent costs 1000 points of energy, a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy. Would you like to draw one?] Su Xing rubbed his hands together excitedly, mentally telling himself to be blessed by luck, and then muttered: "Draw a purple talent!" Immediately after, a notification sound from the simulator rang in Su Xing''s ear. [Congratulations, you have obtained a purple talent: Herculean Strength!] Chapter 132: Chapter 116: Talents, Uprooting Mountains! (Second Update) "Innate divine strength?!!" sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Su Xing was stunned for a moment before muttering subconsciously: "Could it be, this is a purple-grade body refinement talent!?" Su Xing instantly got excited. If it truly was a body refinement talent, that would be incredibly timely! His gaze shifted toward the simulation panel. [Innate Divine Strength]: Purple Talent, your strength and physique are extraordinary, a rare martial prodigy who appears once in a millennium, possessing the power to uproot mountains and shift seas, greatly increasing your body refinement talent, innate divine strength shall dominate the worlddominate the world "It really is a purple-grade body refinement talent!" Su Xing clenched his fist in excitement. From the beginning as a fitness guru, to Mr. Mighty, and now to innate divine strength... Innate Divine Strength was clearly a stronger talent. "Just don''t know how much more of an enhancement Innate Divine Strength provides compared to the power of a deity?" Excitement gleamed in Su Xing''s eyes; he couldn''t wait to experience the simulation. [Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realized you were in a simulation.] [You felt an overwhelming strength throughout your body, even having the urge to uproot Mount Tai.] [Though you were eager to cultivate, you currently lacked the flesh of demonic beasts, making cultivation less effective. Thus, you could only wait for now.] [You started your daily alchemy routine, producing a batch of Fasting Pills and Wound Healing Pills, in preparation for the needs of the Great Xia Military at Demon-Subduing Pass.] [After several days, you entered the Luotian Meeting Instance.] Seeing this, Su Xing thought to himself: "Activate immersive simulation function, duration: 24 hours!" [Ding, detected your use of the immersive simulation function for 24 hours, costing 2.4 million energy points, remaining energy: 26,134,396 points.] Su Xing''s vision swirled with change. Upon returning to the Luotian Meeting Instance, the person before him was still Elder Niu Ruolie. "Good disciple, go to the back mountain and invite Uncle Master Shennong..." Su Xing nodded, making his way to the back mountain with ease. Soon, Su Xing brought Shennong Youtian to the Luotian Meeting, then he immediately rushed towards the Scripture Pavilion without stopping! This time, Su Xing''s participation in the immersive simulation had a purpose! The reason Su Xing extended the immersive simulation for another 24 hours was that he wanted to learn a tracking-type divine skill! "Hmph, that damned Zong has an elusive and cautious nature... If a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator really turns into a scared turtle, it''s probably not easy to find him..." "And after I break into the Divine Strength Realm, I need to start thinking about taking that Damned Zong down, after all, he still holds many secrets!" Indeed, Su Xing had previously tried to ambush Damned Zong with Luo Shuying, but had always been eluded by him, although Su Xing didn''t know how he managed that. But that didn''t stop Su Xing from still trying to find a way to locate him. Divine skills are incredibly mysterious, and there must be techniques for tracking people. As long as Su Xing learned this technique, he would definitely be able to track down the Damned Zong. By then, with Luo Shuying, a legendary powerhouse, in position, and the host of Martial Emperors from the Great Xia Country, I refuse to believe that the old dog won''t die. Su Xing had been coveting the treasures on the old dog''s body for a long time. Soon, Su Xing arrived at the Scripture Pavilion and started to search in the third-level techniques and divine skills area. With Su Xing''s current status as a personal disciple, he was entitled to access the third level of the Scripture Pavilion. "A tracking-type technique... where could it be?" "Found it!" Su Xing quickly arrived in front of a row of divine skill jade slips and started searching for the spell he wanted. The third level of the Scripture Pavilion contained Earth-Level Techniques, which were incredibly powerful, but fewer in number compared to the first and second levels, so Su Xing easily found the technique he was looking for. "Thousand Li Soul Blood Technique... Divine Sense Imprint..." "There it is, the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique!" Su Xing''s heart stirred, and he quickly found the skill he wanted. "Earth-Level Technique, Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique, as long as your Divine Sense is stronger than the opponent''s, you can leave a mark undetected in their Divine Soul. Afterwards, you will be able to sense their whereabouts, with the sensing distance depending on the strength of your Divine Sense..." Su Xing''s eyes brightened, and he immediately began trying to learn the technique. One hour... five hours... ten hours... Su Xing tirelessly attempted to memorize this divine skill but with little success. Seeing the simulation time was about to end and he still hadn''t learned it, Su Xing could only sigh and say: "It seems I''ll have to come back another day to continue learning..." Su Xing stood up, ready to leave, as he braced for a long period of battle. Suddenly, the voice of an old woman came from a distance. "Hehe, you must be the Inner Sect Disciple Luo Xiaochuan, right? Why the sigh? I''ve seen you looking at the techniques for a long time now. What''s the matter, hit a bottleneck..." Su Xing lifted his head at the words and saw an old woman dressed in a gray robe, with an aged face. A thought crossed Su Xing''s mind; this old woman was the same person who had been guarding the Scripture Pavilion before. Generally speaking, those who guard the Scripture Pavilion year-round are all powerful figures! Thus, Su Xing heaved a sigh and said: "Elder, I truly wish to learn a tracking spell, but it''s so difficult, I won''t be able to master it anytime soon..." Su Xing feigned helplessness, shaking his head as he sneakily glanced at the old crone. The old crone swept a look at the jade slip in Su Xing''s hand and said, "You''re learning the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique? Hehe... This cultivation technique is quite outdated; you may or may not learn it." Su Xing looked at the old lady somewhat speechlessly. Didn''t the introduction to this technique say it was created by a grand figure of the Body Integration Realm? How had it become worthless to you? The old lady chuckled and said to Su Xing, "What, don''t you believe me? I created this technique when I was young... Indeed, several thousand years have passed, and it really has become less practical..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing was stunned. The venerable progenitor who created the technique was right in front of him? Therefore, Su Xing quickly asked, "Then elder, do you mean... there''s a better tracking technique?" The old lady nodded and said, "Indeed, I later improved the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique. Its power is close to that of a Heaven Rank spell. Even someone with a Divine Soul strength similar to yours wouldn''t notice anything odd, and it can track from even further distances. Would you like to learn it?" Su Xing quickly nodded and said, "I am willing to learn!" The old crone smiled and said, "There''s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you learn this exclusive secret technique of mine, you''ll have to do me a favor..." Su Xing quickly nodded and said, "I am willing to oblige!" The old crone was stunned. She had not yet mentioned what the favor was, and Su Xing had already agreed? But Su Xing was secretly rejoicing in his heart, "Pssh, anyway, the simulation will start over next time, so I don''t have to do the task; it''s like getting a stronger secret technique for nothing. What a steal!" After pondering for a moment, the old crone said, "Fine then! You just come back here to the Scripture Pavilion at this time next year, and I will tell you then... As for the technique, I suppose it wouldn''t be wrong to pass it on to you now!" With these words, the old crone touched Su Xing''s forehead with her finger. At once, Su Xing felt a stream of memories flood into his mind. It was indeed about the cultivation method for the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique! And it was even better and more profound than what Su Xing had seen before! "Thank you, elder!" "..." Soon, Su Xing''s immersive simulation time ended, and he returned to the real world. Because of the memories, Su Xing successfully knew the cultivation method of the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Secret Technique. And the Su Xing in the simulator should have learned this secret technique as well. "Great, with this secret technique... from now on, I''ll be able to track Damned Zong''s whereabouts..." Su Xing smiled as he looked toward the simulation panel. [After coming out of the Luotian Meeting Instance, you have mastered an Earth Rank upper-grade secret technique, the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique... You return to the Spirit Field Blessed Land to start learning this technique.] [However, due to insufficient strength of your Divine Soul, you find it exceptionally difficult to learn and, having no other choice, you can only master the most basic part for now, planning to cultivate it further once your Divine Soul is stronger.] [Quickly, several months passed.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan came to you, and after one night, you joined the Descending Sect.] [You directly revealed your strength and Alchemy talent to gain the attention of the Descending Sect.] [Afterward, you chose to join the faction where Luo Shuying was, successfully gaining her trust.] [In the months that followed, you obtained many Spiritual Medicines through Luo Shuying and began refining Soul Condensing Pills.] [By the second year, you had become an Elder of the Descending Sect and, in collusion with Luo Shuying, nearly plundered the entire Descending Sect''s reserve of Spiritual Medicines.] [Because you consumed Soul Condensing Pills, your Divine Soul power surged, growing from fifty zhang to three hundred zhang within a single year.] [In the third year, your Divine Soul power exploded to five hundred zhang, and you had already accumulated a significant number of Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills.] [You believed the time was right, and staying in the Descending Sect no longer served much purpose for you. You wanted to join the Great Xia Country to gain access to Demonic Beasts'' Flesh Essence more quickly.] [Thus you placed a Divine Sense mark on Damned Zong in advance. With this mark, you could easily sense Damned Zong''s location.] [Later, you secretly contacted the upper echelons of the Great Xia Country and, together with Luo Shuying, defected from the Descending Sect.] [Sure enough, you were pursued by the Descending Sect, but with the aid of Great Xia''s powerful figures, you successfully killed them...] [Damned Zong really failed to show up. You activated the secret technique to sense Damned Zong''s location, but your Divine Soul strength wasn''t enough, you were too far from him, and still unable to sense him.] [Left with no choice, you and Luo Shuying could only head for Kyoto.] [You took out the hundred thousand Elixirs you had previously refined and gifted them to the Great Xia Military, resulting in Great Xia Country gaining an additional twenty thousand Grandmaster Level warriors within a year!] [In the fourth year, you continued refining Elixirs, periodically handing them over to the Great Xia Military, leading to a steady emergence of Grandmaster Level and Heavenly King Level warriors in Great Xia Country.] [In the same year, through the Great Xia Military, you successfully obtained a hundred pounds of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, and you began to use this Flesh Essence daily to enhance the strength and robustness of your physical body.] [Because of your improved Purple Talent constitution, the enhancement of your physical body''s strength became rapid once again.] [You could feel that your body held more potential, and every day you could consume the Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, visibly increasing your strength!] (Sorry for being late, another one follows soon) Chapter 133: Chapter 117 The Terror of Purple Talent! (Third Update) ```[In the fifth year, your strength surged by five hundred thousand catties in just one year, reaching a pure physical strength of five million five hundred thousand catties!] [However, the essence of the Demon Emperor''s flesh is limited, and the most you can consume each year is only a bit more than one hundred catties, often times you can only take the essence of the Demon King''s flesh.] [But your talent is astonishing, and coupled with the unique structure of your stomach, even the essence of the Demon King''s flesh allows you to gain considerable strength.] [In the sixth year, you began the refinement of Divine Strength Pills.] [Refining Divine Strength Pills is much more complex than ordinary mid-grade elixirs, and despite your Mahayana-level alchemy skills, you could only refine two batches per day.] [Outside of your cultivation, you refined two batches of Divine Strength Pills each day, and in one year, you successfully refined eight hundred Divine Strength Pills!] [Out of these, fifty were top-quality Divine Strength Pills, you kept some for yourself and handed the rest over to the Great Xia Military!] [That year, your strength soared to six million two hundred thousand catties!] Su Xing''s face flushed with excitement as he couldn''t help but nod repeatedly. Divine Strength Pills assist those in the Origin Martial Realm to break through to the Divine Strength Realm and can also be used during the Divine Strength Realm to increase the cultivation level.] But Su Xing alone couldn''t use that many Divine Strength Pills, estimating that at most a few would suffice for a breakthrough.] The remaining elixirs given to the Great Xia Country could bring forth more Martial Emperor-level powerhouses, strengthening the country more, and Su Xing would obtain more essence of the Demon Emperor''s flesh, thus his cultivation level would increase faster!] "Tsk, tsk, purple talent is really different, huh! In just four years of cultivation, the strength has increased by one million two hundred thousand catties!"] ["This rate of cultivation is almost twice as fast as before!"] ["It''s just that I don''t know if the upper limit of strength for purple quality will be higher..."] Su Xing fell into thought; in his previous simulations, the upper limit for strength growth had been seven million catties.] [Logically, after the talent upgrade, there should be a higher talent limit. Su Xing''s demand isn''t high, reaching eight million catties to have the strength of an Ancient Witch Clan genius would be enough.] Su Xing continued the simulation.] [In the seventh year, after you handed the Divine Strength Pills over to Great Xia''s higher-ups, Great Xia selected over a hundred veteran Heavenly King-level professionals and had them take the Divine Strength Pills.] [In one year, the strength of these veteran Heavenly King-level powerhouses increased by more than fifty percent.] [After handing the Divine Strength Pills to the Great Xia Country, you no longer concerned yourself with it and concentrated on cultivating, enhancing your strength.] [Because you have been taking Soul Condensing Pills for many years, your divine sense''s range has increased significantly, reaching seven hundred and fifty zhang.] [In theory, the increase in the strength of divine sense should make it easier for you to detect Damned Zong''s location, but over the years, you haven''t sensed his presence once, leading you to blame it on him being too far away from you.] [In the eighth year, the Human Race saw about fifty Martial Emperor-level powerhouses emerge within a year, and suddenly, the overall strength of the human race greatly increased!] [With the entry of Martial Emperor-level powerhouses into the Demon-Subduing Pass battlefield, the situation there gradually improved, allowing you to obtain more than three hundred catties of the Demon Emperor''s flesh essence each year!] [Thus, your strength surged again, consuming one catty of the Demon Emperor''s flesh essence each day, which made your vitality even more robust!] [That year, your strength soared to seven million catties!] Seeing this, Su Xing was thrilled; seven million catties were the previous potential limit he had not reached even after over twenty years in the last simulation, but now he had achieved it in just the eighth year.] This enhancement from the Heaven-lifting talent was even stronger than he had imagined!] ["Could it be... that the total strength I possess in the Origin Martial Realm could reach nine million catties?"] Su Xing''s heart thumped wildly at the thought; that was the immense force of nine million catties, after all!] If he possessed such an increase, by the time of Great Perfection in the Divine Strength Realm, with a twentyfold enhancement... that would be the force of ninety thousand tons!] To imagine what a punch with a force of ninety thousand tons might be like... Su Xing could hardly fathom.] Su Xing looked forward with anticipation at the simulation panel.] sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the ninth year, with plenty of flesh essence, your strength growth remained explosive, far from reaching the body''s limit, and your strength grew to seven million five hundred thousand catties that year!] [In the same year, your divine sense also grew slightly, reaching seven hundred and eighty zhang. However, since you had given half of the Soul Condensing Pills to Luo Shuying, you had run out of them.] [And lacking methods to cultivate divine sense, your divine sense ultimately stopped at seven hundred and eighty zhang and could not advance further.] Seeing this, Su Xing slightly frowned and murmured: ] ["Methods to cultivate divine sense, huh... indeed, until now, my divine sense has grown almost solely relying on Soul Condensing Pills, which is indeed a bit lacking in sustainability..."] ["However, it is during the Divinity Transformation Stage that divine sense truly comes into play. By then, I can completely look for a way to cultivate a divine sense-related cultivation technique to unleash the full potential of divine sense!"] Having realized this, Su Xing had already incorporated the growth of divine sense into his plan.] After all, divine sense has many uses; Su Xing previously used it only for alchemy, so fifty zhang was sufficient, but now the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique requires divine sense.] ``` In addition, there might be more Cultivation Techniques that require Divine Sense in the future, so this definitely cannot be neglected! "But well! The enhancement of Divine Sense isn''t urgent for now, the most important thing currently is the Body Refinement Cultivation Level!" "I wonder if I can break through to the Divine Strength Realm in this simulation!?" Su Xing looked at the simulation panel with some anticipation. [In the tenth year, your identity as a spy in the Great Xia Military has been exposed. Suddenly, both the Foreign Race and Human Race know that you were the one behind the increase of so many powerful individuals in the Great Xia Country.] [The entire Foreign Race was enraged, and they ordered the Descending Sect to assassinate you!] [Within just one year, you suffered more than fifty assassination attempts! Among them, even Legendary Level experts took action. Thanks to Luo Shuying''s help, you barely escaped death, but she was heavily injured in the process.] [However, the Descending Sect''s assassination attempts on you continued, and you have become their number one target in the real world. All the elders, protectors, and even faction leaders now consider you their top enemy!] [Left with no choice, you could only hide within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, trying your best to avoid going out.] [Those assassinations you encountered this year have left you feeling chilled to the bone. From assassination attempts and poisonings to the pedestrians on the street and even the soldiers in the military... perhaps everyone in your sight might secretly pull out a dagger to plunge into you.] [Even though you are very strong, you are struggling to bear such frequent assassination attempts.] [So you came up with an idea, which was to meet Luo Shuying at an irregular time every month. You would only tell her about this time, and she would bring you the Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence while you would entrust her with the supply Elixirs you have refined.] [With this method, you cultivated daily in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, still maintaining a sufficient supply of Flesh Essence.] [Having isolated yourself in seclusion all year round, you have endured loneliness that others would find unbearable, but your Cultivation Level has grown even more rapidly.] [This year, your strength surged again, reaching 77 million catties!] [In the eleventh year, you spent a monotonous year cultivating in the Spirit Field Blessed Land. Meeting Luo Shuying once a month and exchanging only a few words with her has rapidly warmed your relationship.] [Finally, one day, your relationship with her developed into a full-fledged affair.] [In the twelfth year, you received news from Luo Shuying that the front-line supply at Demon-Subduing Pass had been cut off by the Demon Race, and the situation was dire.] [You handed over the Fasting Pills and Wound Healing Pills that you had saved up over the years to Luo Shuying.] [Seeing these Elixirs, Luo Shuying was shocked and completely believed in what you had told her about traveling through the timeline.] [That year, your physical strength increased to 80 million catties!] [In the thirteenth year, as your strength grew more formidable, the growth of your physical strength finally slowed down. However, you could not stand this so you decided to consume one and a half catties of the Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence every day to maintain the rapid growth of your strength.] [One and a half catties of Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence was slightly beyond your daily energy digestion limit, so you had to continually train to speed up the absorption of this Flesh Essence energy.] [You practiced swordsmanship for four hours every day and crafted a massive iron ball weighing 80 million catties from exotic metals, using it to train your body and drain your energy every day.] [Such days left you feeling very tired, so you could only meditate for three hours every day, using Spiritual Power to nourish your body and alleviate fatigue.] [But your efforts were rewarded. This year, your strength increased to 84 million catties!] [In the fourteenth year, you continued to train by practicing swordsmanship and lifting the heavy ball of exotic metal every day, but the weight of the ball increased dramatically as your strength grew.] [You used Spiritual Energy to wield the Li Fire Technique, then used it to melt the exotic metal, eventually forging it into the iron ball. This iron ball grew larger and larger, like a small mountain.] [That year, your strength reached 87 million catties!] Su Xing''s breathing quickened when he saw this. It was getting closer, even closer! In just the fourteenth year, his strength had reached 87 million catties! The speed was faster than he had imagined! At this rate, perhaps it wouldn''t be long before he could break through to 90 million catties! "That''s astonishing... The boost to my Body Refinement talent from my Purple Talent has already surpassed even witch clan geniuses... Having 90 million catties of strength in the Origin Martial Realm, I wonder if there''s anyone in the witch clan who could reach this?" For a moment, Su Xing was elated, unable to resist comparing himself with this ancient clan. "It''s close, 90 million catties, here I come!" [In the fifteenth year, as you continuously practiced swordsmanship, your skills became even more exquisite. The Spirit Sword Mo Bing was already indomitable, and with your immense strength, shattering mountains with a single strike was no longer a legend.] [That year, you consumed a full 500 catties of Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence. Fortunately, with the tense front-line war situation, you had enough Flesh Essence to increase your power.] [That year, your strength reached 90 million catties!] (There will be another chapter after 12 o''clock~) Chapter 134: Chapter 118: Demon-Subduing Pass Bathed in Blood, Reaching the Limit! (First Update) Su Xing''s heart clenched at this revelation.He had broken through nine million jin! This was far beyond Su Xing''s expectations! At this rate, perhaps the final breakthrough could reach ten million jin! "Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, one hundred thousand tons of immense strength! Here I come!" Su Xing clenched his fists tightly, shouting in his heart. What kind of concept is one hundred thousand tons of strength? An aircraft carrier weighs about fifty thousand tons. And Su Xing, with his pure physical strength reaching one hundred thousand tons, could easily hold the Nimitz in one hand and the Carl Vinson in the other, and then leisurely stand above the Pacific Ocean and fly. Destroying a nation alone is not a dream! "If I can really reach ten million jin of strength, then when I just broke through the Divine Strength Realm, my strength could double... that would be twenty million jin!" "Only old Martial Emperor powerhouses can reach such strength, right?" "Although those Martial Emperor powerhouses have skill bonuses... I also have Origin Force, and after the Origin Force is applied... my strength doubles!" Su Xing was instantly excited. This meant he was about to be comparable to Martial Emperor-level powerhouses! "Martial Emperor-level powerhouses, ah! There are only dozens in the entire Daxia... In the seven Human Race nations and the Twelve Domains, the total number of Martial Emperor-level powerhouses is only a few hundred. In this sense, I''m about to become one of the top powerhouses!" Su Xing could not help getting excited. "Maybe, I no longer need to hide... By revealing my strength, I can fight for more resources!?" Su Xing pondered the possibility of this approach in secrecy... But then Su Xing shook his head, knowing that the Foreign Race''s tricks were unfathomable; once exposed, he would face unending assassination attempts. Although the benefits were great, the risks involved exceeded what Su Xing could bear. "Perhaps, I can first try it in simulation... What level of strength have I actually reached now?" With this thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the sixteenth year, you still trained hard every day, tempered your physique with the Witch Clan''s unique Body Refinement methods, carried out high-intensity strength training, and used the Flesh Essence of Demon Emperors.] [With your day and night efforts, although the growth of your strength has slowed down, there is still stable room for improvement.] [This year, your strength reached nine million one hundred thousand jin!] [In the seventeenth year, you continued to cultivate in the same way as before, but as your strength increased, it became increasingly difficult to make breakthroughs.] [This year your strength only increased by one hundred thousand jin, reaching nine million two hundred thousand jin.] [In the eighteenth year, you felt that you had hit a bottleneck, where previously you could see your bodily strength improve visibly every day, but now the progress had become slower and sometimes even stalled completely.] [Moreover, the high-intensity cultivation had also begun to take its toll on your body.] [This year, your strength only increased by eighty thousand jin, reaching nine million two hundred eighty thousand jin...] Su Xing frowned slightly at this and muttered, "Am I reaching my limit? Only an eighty-thousand-jin increase in a year... That''s not fast enough!" "I must find a way to continue increasing my strength..." At this moment, several thoughts flashed through Su Xing''s mind. Devour the flesh of higher-level Demonic Beasts? Su Xing shook his head slightly. Not to mention whether the flesh of Legendary Level Demonic Beasts could be obtained. Even if he did obtain it, Su Xing of the Origin Martial Realm might very well explode into pieces if he consumed it, right? "Then there''s only one method left... through fighting, to better master strength!" Su Xing wanted to stay hidden until he reached the Divine Strength Realm before leaving the Spirit Field Blessed Land, but the increase in strength was excruciatingly slow. But if he fought continuously on the battlefield, maybe he could unleash his potential further. And the best place to fight... is undoubtedly Demon-Subduing Pass! Thinking this, Su Xing glanced back at the simulation panel. [In the nineteenth year, you left the Spirit Field Blessed Land replica and returned to the real world.] [Just returning to the real world for less than half a month, you encountered three assassination attempts. Fortunately, with your formidable strength and the protection of Luo Shuying close at hand, you were unharmed.] [You went to the Demon-Subduing Pass replica, ready to enhance your strength through battle.] [After knowing your intentions, Luo Shuying and the high ranks of Daxia strongly opposed this because you are a thorn in the eyes of the Demon Race, and appearing would be far too dangerous.] [But you are determined to go to Demon-Subduing Pass, to harness your strength through battle.] [You went to Demon-Subduing Pass, consuming the Flesh Essence of Demon Emperors daily and joining the battlefield.] [Your strength was formidable, and under the use of Spiritual Power, ordinary Demon Kings could barely withstand three punches from your brutal force.] [In just half a year, you have slain over a hundred Demon Kings!] [Just as you thought, through high-intensity battles combined with the Flesh Essence of Demon Emperors, your strength increased dramatically every day!] [In one year, your strength has grown to 9.4 million jin!] [In the twentieth year, you remained a god of war on the battlefield, ordinary Demon Kings were no match for you, and even if Demon Emperors personally attacked you, you could hold on until Luo Shuying came to your aid.] [That year, you were assassinated thirty times on the battlefield. Soldiers from the army swung their swords at you, and several Demon Emperors ambushed you, but you survived every time.] [The most perilous time, a Legendary Level demonic beast personally attempted to attack you, but you managed to hide in Spirit Field Blessed Land just in time, narrowly escaping disaster.] [Over the year, you killed hundreds of Demon Kings, bathed in blood, and your combat awareness rapidly increased.] [That year, your strength increased to 9.55 million jin!] [In the twenty-first year, gradually even Demon Beasts at the Demon King level came to know your terror. They were unwilling to battle with you and would flee at sight of you.] [Having no choice, you had to set your sights on powerhouses of the Demon Emperor level!] [With your might, wielding the Ink Ice Sword, you could even fight a Demon Emperor. Although you were mostly at a disadvantage, your life was not in danger.] [In one year, you fought with Demon Emperor level demonic beasts over a hundred times, significantly enhancing your combat awareness.] [Within that year, you were wounded numerous times, but each time you persevered, and your strength surged to 9.7 million jin!] [In the twenty-second year, as your strength grew stronger, you felt as if you had touched some kind of limit and had an urge to break through to the Divine Strength Realm immediately!] [Because you knew, once you broke through to the Divine Strength Realm, you would immediately possess strength comparable to a Demon Emperor!] [But you still forcibly suppressed that impulse, knowing the closer you were to the limit in the Origin Martial Realm, the greater your future achievements would be!] [That year, your strength increased to 9.8 million jin!] [In the twenty-third year, the Human Race''s situation in Demon-Subduing Pass grew increasingly dire. As battles continued uninterrupted, the number of the Human Race''s warriors dwindled, while the Demonic Beasts seemed endless, always having Demon Kings and Demon Emperors appear on the battlefield.] [With the vast disparity in strength, the Human Race could only defend Demon-Subduing Pass, unable to take the fight beyond its walls.] [But your performance was still heroic, fighting Demon Emperors every day, acting almost on par with Martial Emperor level warriors on the battlefield.] [That year, your strength increased to 9.88 million jin!] [In the twenty-fourth year, high-intensity battles continued, and every day you opened your eyes to slay demonic beasts, eating Demon Emperor Flesh Essence when hungry, the count of beasts that died by your hand beyond measure.] [You finally realized the terror of Demon-Subduing Pass, feeling the despair of its soldiers, for even as you killed more and more beasts each day, they were still endless.] [By yourself, slaying hundreds of demonic beasts a day was still like a drop in the ocean compared to their numbers on the battlefield.] [The only thing that gave you hope was that your strength was still growing, and it was progressively approaching a certain limit.] [That year, your strength grew to 9.96 million jin!] Su Xing''s face showed a complex expression upon reading this. Through the cold text, he seemed to see the helplessness of the soldiers at Demon-Subduing Pass and felt his own powerlessness. Even as an Origin Martial Realm powerhouse, even on par with a Martial Emperor... what one could do on the battlefield was still limited. Only by becoming the strongest could one suppress everything! Only then could you free the Human Race from the oppression of the Foreign Races over thousands of years. Only then could you prevent that apocalypse from happening decades later... sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing wanted to grow stronger not for the sake of others, but to better survive for himself. "Thank goodness, I can see hope already!" "As long as I can reach the limit in this simulation and break through to the Divine Strength Realm! Even that will be a solid step forward!" Su Xing clenched his fist to cheer himself on and then turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [In the twenty-fifth year, you have lost count of the days since you came to Demon-Subduing Pass, only aware of the endless demonic beasts outside and the injured brethren every day.] [Yesterday, Luo Shuying was injured again while saving you, but facing opponents of that level, you still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.] [What keeps you going is the continuously ascending strength, pushing towards that limit!] [Months passed, and your strength increased by another twenty thousand jin, bringing you ever closer to the target of ten million jin] [But the number of people in Demon-Subduing Pass has dwindled. More and more soldiers are dying in battle; you don''t know how much longer you can hold out, five years, three years... or even shorter?] [You keep fighting, longing to reach the ten-million-jin limit sooner!] [Months passed, and your strength reached 9.99 million jin, but the growth was almost imperceptible.] [Maybe it was an increase of a few hundred jin a day, or even less...] [This feeling of nearing the limit yet seeing no end, you could only push on with belief.] [Finally, one day, as you were fiercely battling a Demon Emperor, you swung the strongest strike you ever had!] [You felt a certain shackle within you was finally broken!] [After fighting the Demon Emperor for several hours, you severely wounded him with a strike, eventually beheading him.] [You took out the Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence, and no matter how bitter and pungent, you swallowed it greedily.] [A premonition rose in your heart; it was time to break through to the Divine Strength Realm!] Chapter 135: Chapter 119 Finally Entering the Divine Strength Realm! (Second Update) "Finally, am I about to break through to the Divine Strength Realm!"Su Xing watched the simulation panel, murmuring under his breath. Seeing the slow growth of his body when it reached its limit in the last few years, Su Xing even thought he had to wait for the next simulation before he could reach the Divine Strength Realm. But after all, he had reached the ultimate limit of ten million catties! "Ten million catties, even the Witch Clan from Ancient Times probably couldn''t reach this strength in the Origin Martial Realm, right?" "Even the weakest in the Divine Strength Realm, have only this level of strength..." A wave of indescribable excitement surged in Su Xing''s heart. He could feel all the effort he had put in at Demon-Subduing Pass was in order to reach this limit. And at this moment, he had finally achieved it! "Breakthrough to the Divine Strength Realm! A bright future is right before my eyes!" S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing''s breathing became slightly rapid as he looked back at the simulation panel. [As the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass worsened day by day, you chose to go into seclusion.] [You returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land, adjusted your body to its peak condition, prepared some Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, and the previously saved top-grade Divine Strength Pills.] [You swallowed three catties of the Demon Emperor Flesh Essence in one go, feeling the surge of power in your body almost about to overflow.] [As your body was about to fail sustaining this energy, you took a Divine Strength Pill, ready for the breakthrough.] [The Divine Strength Pill turned into a warm current entering your belly, instantly turning into a violent energy, hammering every inch of your flesh and bones.] [Energy kept accumulating, spreading to every corner of your flesh, and you felt your bones aching, moaning.] [This was the transformation of the density of your muscles and bones, how could the ordinary flesh and blood endure such monumental strength.] [This was a more violent and thorough enhancement than the Bone Forging Realm before; you felt endless pain.] [It began with the skin, then the flesh, followed by the bones... and finally strengthened your inner organs.] [Under the impact of this energy, you felt your bodily strength and vitality being sublimated at this instant.] [The pain persisted, day and night, almost making you want to give up multiple times, but it was the ten years of tempering at Demon-Subduing Pass that made your will even stronger, biting the bullet and persevering.] [Finally, after consistently enduring, at some moment, you felt your body suddenly lighten.] [You even thought you had successfully broken through, but what followed was an endless sensation of hunger.] [Ever since you reached the Golden Core Stage, you had been able to fast, and while you had basic cravings, you logically shouldn''t feel such an overwhelming hunger.] [But at this moment the hunger felt so real, as if you had not eaten for three days and nights, there was only one thought in your mind, eat!] [You turned your gaze to the nearby Demon Emperor Flesh Essence and began to devour it like mad. You ate a full five catties before feeling absolutely unable to eat anymore.] [Subsequently, the energy in your body climbed again, and you decisively swallowed a second Divine Strength Pill... then the energy exploded, and pain assailed you.] [Your body was once again being remodeled by this energy...] [Through such a cycle of repetition, you no longer remembered how much Demonic Beast Flesh Essence you had consumed; perhaps more than you would eat in a month, nor how many Origin Martial Pills you had taken, and the pain in your body had become familiar.] [Finally, at a certain instant, you heard a cracking sound within you, as a shackle inside your body was successfully broken!] [You had broken through, becoming a Cultivator of the Divine Strength Realm!] [But the expected surge in strength did not come, because over the days of the breakthrough, your strength had already been skyrocketing!] [In just a few days, your strength grew to twenty million catties!] [Following the inner hunger, you ate another five catties of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence in one go, but this time there was no pain or energy explosion; you just felt filled with strength!] [Your body appeared like it was bathed in sunlight, covered with a thin golden veil.] [You seemed to understand that the Divine Strength Realm was not just an increase in strength, but an all-around enhancement of the body''s durability! This was another major leap in the power of the Body Refinement Cultivator''s physical body!] [Because only a more robust body can wield such tremendous power!] Su Xing''s face flushed with excitement. "Finally, I''ve made the breakthrough!" The Divine Strength Realm, able to rival the existence of a Martial Emperor! Although he had just entered the Divine Strength Realm, his strength was already not inferior to the veteran strong practitioners of the realm, which meant he could be considered quite powerful among the Martial Emperors! "After this ends, I''ll definitely be able to break through the Divine Strength Realm... by then, I would be one of the strongest in the Human Race. Should I reveal myself, to exchange for more energy?" Su Xing sank into thought. As one can imagine, by revealing his power and cooperating with the higher-ups of the Great Xia, gathering the strength of a nation, the speed at which he accrues simulation energy could indeed increase tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold! And this also meant that Su Xing''s power was set to explode in growth again! After the Divine Strength Realm, the energy required for each breakthrough would probably increase tenfold, with one level requiring ten million energy! Considering this, whether the energy will be sufficient is also an important question... "Ah, it''s really a headache! As for whether to reveal myself, maybe I could first go to Demon-Subduing Pass and see? Just how big is the gap between the Human Race and the Foreign Race?" Chapter 136: Chapter 119 Finally Entering the Divine Strength Realm! (Second Update)_2 Su Xing already had an idea in his heart, which was to go and see in the simulator.Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the simulation panel. [After breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm, you returned to the real world, to Demon-Subduing Pass.] [The battle at Demon-Subduing Pass is raging intensely. The Human Race is being completely crushed by Demonic Beasts, and warriors are dying every second on the battlefield.] [You don''t say much, silently joining the battlefield and fixing your gaze on a Demon Emperor level behemoth.] [When you were at Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm, you could still fight a Demon Emperor. Now that you''ve broken through to the Divine Strength Realm, naturally, you have no reason to fear a Demon Emperor anymore.] [This time you choose not to utilize Divine Strength Realm abilities, but instead, to engage in close combat with your fists against the Demon Emperor.] [The hundreds of meters tall enormous Demon Emperor and you, less than two meters in height, form a stark contrast, you''re like an ant before his eyes.] [But the huge difference in size does not diminish your strength; on the contrary, it makes it easier for you to dodge the Demon Emperor''s attacks.] [You throw a punch, wielding twenty million jin of massive force accompanied by Origin Force towards the Demon Emperor, injuring him grievously with just one strike.] [You grapple with the Demon Emperor for dozens of minutes and finally slay him, taking his Flesh Essence.] [Though you have the upper hand on the battlefield, the Human Race is still caught in a massive disadvantage. You don''t have time to think further and rapidly rejoin the battle!] [The opponents you choose are all Demon Emperor level beasts! You were once the nightmare of Demon Kings, and now you shall become the nightmare of Demon Emperors!] [Over the next few months, you fight with Demon Emperors daily, and every few days you manage to kill a Demon Emperor. Your role on the battlefield even surpasses most Martial Emperor powerhouses!] [For as strong as Martial Emperor powerhouses are, they do not possess such terrifying power and bodily strength as you do!] [And as you daily devour the flesh of Demon Emperors, you feel your power and physical strength further increasing.] [Every day, in addition to fighting, you also take Divine Strength Pills and Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, steadily enhancing your strength.] [In the twenty-sixth year, while the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass is dire, it still holds. You take this opportunity to rapidly increase your power!] [Until one day, everything changed!] [An endless army of Demonic Beasts appeared on the horizon, countless beasts madly rushing towards Demon-Subduing Pass. One after another, extremely imposing beasts entered your line of sight.] Seeing this, Su Xing took a deep breath and said, "Activate immersive simulation, duration: one hour!" [Ding, immersive simulation activated for 1 hour, costing 100,000 energy. Remaining energy: 26,034,396 points.] Su Xing''s vision shifted, and the next second he was in a strange place. Dark clouds filled the sky, with the occasional flash of lightning and thunder in the distance. The mad cries all around, the smell of blood in the air. Su Xing looked around somewhat bewilderedly, seeing Mages in robes casting spells, Warriors in armor raising their greatswords to clash with airborne Demonic Beasts. From time to time, golden lights flashed on the city walls. "My lord, we can''t hold out much longer! Let''s retreat!" At that moment, a Heavenly King level professional approached Su Xing and said so. But Su Xing remained unmoved. Where could they retreat to now? Leaving Demon-Subduing Pass, in reality, it would just be a matter of time anyway. Su Xing strode to the edge of the city wall and saw the swarming wave of Demonic Beasts on the distant ground. Beasts ranging from a few meters to dozens of meters, even hundreds of meters, were present. They attacked the walls madly, trying to blow a hole through the thousand-zhang high Demon-Subduing Pass. Su Xing watched as soldiers bravely attempted to block the beasts. Some succeeded, and some died. Suddenly, Su Xing heard a cry of terror. Following the sound, he saw a person staring blankly ahead. Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Following his gaze, Su Xing only saw an array of overwhelmingly powerful behemoths charging forward within his field of vision. "This is beyond what Emperor level beasts can achieve!" Su Xing instantly made such a judgment. "These must be at least Legendary level beasts!" Su Xing took a sharp intake of breath, for these Legendary level beasts, thousands of meters tall, were not just one or two, not even a few dozen... but several hundreds! Hundreds of Legendary beasts as tall as the city walls were assaulting the walls, trying to destroy them with brute force. ``` "Dare to destroy my Demon-Subduing Pass!?" Su Xing heard an angry roar behind him, as more than ten strong figures shrouded in golden light charged towards the Legendary Level beast. In an instant, Su Xing understood that this was likely all the power defending Demon-Subduing Pass. But ten against hundreds... The outcome was clear! After only a few rounds of fighting, the Legendary Level warriors of the Human Race fell into an absolute disadvantage, almost on the verge of being overrun. Just when Su Xing thought Demon-Subduing Pass would be annihilated, a sigh echoed from within the Pass. An elder appeared in the sky, seemingly out of nowhere, and launched an attack on the legendary beast in front of him. However, a more desperate situation arose when two humanoid figures emerged from the Demon Race army, both appearing human but exuding the aura of demons. The elder immediately engaged them in battle. Before Su Xing could even see clearly, the elder was defeated, and hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts flooded into the city. Su Xing''s vision turned black as his consciousness returned to his body. [Ding, due to character death, this immersive simulation has ended prematurely!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] Su Xing stared at the cold text before him, falling into a long silence. "Even the existence above Legendary couldn''t change this outcome..." Su Xing took a deep breath, realizing the strength of the Demon Race was far greater than he had imagined! The Human Race''s thousands of years of inheritance might produce one or two powerful individuals. But the Foreign Race, that''s a powerful group! Absolute power crush, coupled with a numerical advantage! "Indeed, I was thinking too lightly!" "The Divine Strength Realm, it might be considered good, but it''s far from enough!" Su Xing took another deep breath, discarding the idea of revealing his identity to quickly gain energy. Having energy is good, but you also need to be alive to use it! "Sigh, why think so much? When we get to it, there will be a way... better to focus on improving my strength first!" Su Xing turned his attention to the selection of simulation rewards. [Might that Uplifts Mountains]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million points of energy. [Twenty-Six Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, containing some Alchemy Experience, priced at 600 thousand energy. [First Level of Divine Strength Realm]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 10 million energy! [Ten Years of Combat Experience]: priced at 1 million energy. Looking at the four rewards before him, Su Xing didn''t hesitate and said: "I choose the Purple Talent Might that Uplifts Mountains and the First Level of Divine Strength Realm cultivation!" [You have successfully taken out the Purple Talent Might that Uplifts Mountains, spending 1 million energy, remaining energy 25,034,396 points.] [You have successfully taken out the First Level of Divine Strength Realm cultivation, spending 10 million points of energy, remaining energy 15,034,396 points.] As Su Xing made his choice, two mysterious forces descended upon him. The next second, Su Xing felt his momentum skyrocketing, his strength climbing continuously. A gentle energy enveloped Su Xing, and in that moment, his physical body began to strengthen. From flesh to bones, then to the internal organs... Minutes passed, and when the light around Su Xing''s body faded away, He had successfully advanced to a warrior of the Divine Strength Realm! There was no pain, nor was there any discomfort. Everything unfolded as naturally as flowing water. Su Xing, feeling the surging power in his body, clenched his fists excitedly. "This is, the Divine Strength Realm!" "Divine Strength Realm... boundless divine power, such a terrifying force... but at Demon-Subduing Pass, faced with those foreign beasts, I was still so powerless..." ``` Chapter 137: Chapter 120: The Spirit Rice Plan, Benefiting All Mankind? ```Su Xing could feel the terrifying power within himself. His current strength was many times greater than when he first reached Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm. But compared to those fearsome Demonic Beasts at Demon-Subduing Pass, he was still too weak. "The most urgent task is still to quickly increase my own strength!" Su Xing already had a plan in his heart. If nothing unexpected happens, breaking through the first layer of the Divine Strength Realm would require ten million energy units. However, he didn''t have enough energy to boost his cultivation level significantly in a short period of time. Therefore, it was time to consider breaking through to Divinity Transformation in his Qi Refining Cultivation. "While accumulating energy, raising my Body Refinement Cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm... at the same time, I must find the whereabouts of another material, Snow Bone Ginseng!" "Sigh, but before that, I still need to make more money, to earn energy!" Su Xing sighed and then began his routine alchemy. Unfortunately, the breakthrough in Body Refinement Cultivation didn''t help his alchemy; in fact, compared to breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm, he would prefer to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage first, since that would allow him to have more Spiritual Energy and make alchemy faster! In the following week, Su Xing again fell into a busy rhythm of alchemy. Over the week, Su Xing once again produced five thousand elixirs. "Phew~ Finally done. Looking at the time, it''s about time to go see Jin Congxue!" Su Xing glanced at the time and hurried towards the villa. Soon, Su Xing arrived at the villa outside Jiangnan University of Applied Sciences and met with the long-waiting Jin Congxue. Given that it was May and the weather was getting warmer, Jin Congxue was wearing a cool, short skirt today, which earned silent praise from Su Xing. Jin Congxue gave Su Xing a blank look and pouted, "Where are you looking? Come over and eat!" Su Xing chuckled and sat opposite Jin Congxue, voraciously digging into the food in front of him. As Su Xing broke through to the Divine Strength Realm, he found his requirements for food getting higher, and he ate more at every meal. Although Su Xing was a Nascent Soul cultivator and capable of fasting, his strong Body Cultivation and the consumption of the Divine Strength Realm meant that without ample food, his strength would be greatly affected. Even though these ordinary foods weren''t of much use to Su Xing, he still ate with great satisfaction. "Mmm~ This dish tastes really good! It''s just that the rice isn''t tasty..." Su Xing, used to eating Spirit Rice, found even the best North-East rice tasteless. "By the way, I have Spirit Rice... from now on, use Spirit Rice for cooking!" Su Xing took out several hundred catties of Spirit Rice from his storage ring and handed them to Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue had seen Spirit Rice before; she got some after coming out from the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance and had always been too reluctant to eat it! When Jin Congxue saw that Su Xing took out so much Spirit Rice, she was shocked and asked, "Wow, how much Spirit Rice do you have? How can you take out so much all at once?" Su Xing thought for a moment upon hearing this. He had opened up ten acres of Spirit Field in the blessed land. With the Spirit Gathering Array and the use of his Spiritual Power to speed up maturation... if he later mastered Earth Dragon technique, a yield of five thousand catties per acre wouldn''t be a problem... In the blessed land, where it''s spring all year round and the Spiritual Energy is abundant, Spirit Grains can be harvested twice a year... Doing some calculations... "Not that much, I guess... only about a hundred thousand catties a year, just barely enough for me to eat," Su Xing said. A hundred thousand catties, just barely enough for you to eat? Listen to what you''re saying! Jin Congxue rolled her eyes after hearing this, clearly thinking that Su Xing was bragging. "A hundred thousand catties of rice is enough to feed hundreds of people for a year, and you''re saying it''s just for you?" Su Xing nodded earnestly and replied, "That''s right! I have a big appetite... the Spirit Rice tastes good... so I can eat that much!" Jin Congxue, seeing Su Xing take out so much Spirit Rice, had already guessed the source of these Spirit Rice. Clearly, the rice came from the Spirit Field instance, and being able to obtain a hundred thousand catties of Spirit Rice each year... if Su Xing wasn''t bluffing... then it was likely that he had inherited the whole Spirit Field instance from before. Jin Congxue looked deeply at Su Xing, thinking a lot in her mind. She had some guesses about where Su Xing had learned this alchemy and Spirit Grains. This kind of thing is not uncommon; some lucky ones accidentally enter an instance and end up inheriting treasures from it, or even the whole instance, eventually becoming strong cultivators. In Great Xia Country, one would appear every few decades. However, Jin Congxue had never seen an instance worth so much! Whether it was the elixirs that Su Xing produced or the Spirit Rice in front of her, it was enormously helpful to a person. It would not be an exaggeration to say that with these things, one could be rich enough to rival nations! And such a huge secret... Su Xing apparently had no intention of hiding it from her. Thinking this, Jin Congxue felt warmth in her heart, and her gaze towards Su Xing became more affectionate. "Hmm?" Su Xing, noticing Jin Congxue suddenly looking at him with deep affection, felt baffled. "What the heck... Why is she looking at me with those eyes all of a sudden? Is it just for some Spirit Rice... really?" Su Xing thought to himself. Clearly, he had not thought of it in that way. ``` After all, he had been collaborating with Jin Congxue for half a year, and unless something unexpected happened, they would continue to work together in the future. These secrets would sooner or later become impossible to hide from Jin Congxue, so letting her know was of no harm! The most critical point was that Su Xing had broken through to the Divine Strength Realm, now possessing comparable combat strength to that of the Martial Emperor level! Guarding an instance was still an easy task for him. After all, the biggest secret Su Xing had wasn''t the Spirit Field Blessed Land but the simulator he carried with him, which was the foundation of his strength! Jin Congxue summoned a servant, who cooked some Spirit Rice into a meal. After trying a bite, her eyes lit up, and she couldn''t help but exclaim, "This Spirit Rice really tastes excellent, and it greatly benefits lower rank practitioners in physical enhancement. If it were sold as a product, it could probably fetch a very high price!" Hearing this, Su Xing, while wolfing down his rice, casually asked, "It''s just rice, how much could it sell for?" In Su Xing''s mind, rice should be something affordable for everyone, not worth much. Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What could make money faster than alchemy? After hearing this, Jin Congxue pondered for a moment and seriously said, "This Spirit Rice is highly beneficial to practitioners below the Gold and even Master levels... If it were me, I would not hesitate to buy a pound of Spirit Rice for one hundred thousand dollars!" "This Spirit Rice is extremely rich in energy. An ordinary Gold level practitioner would be full after eating just an ounce in one meal, and two ounces at most for those who are strength-based practitioners... By that count, a pound of rice would be enough for them for three or four days!" "Moreover, the nourishment Spirit Rice provides to one''s physique is long-term. If a Silver level practitioner regularly consumed Spirit Rice, their physical condition would definitely surpass others at the same level by a lot, and the chances of breaking through to the Gold level might be even greater! Saying it could indirectly boost one''s strength isn''t an overstatement!" After hearing Jin Congxue''s words, Su Xing was stunned. What mattered to him wasn''t how much the Spirit Rice could sell for, but the fact that Jin Congxue mentioned that the Spirit Rice could help low-rank practitioners improve their potential! This meant that perhaps by having low-rank practitioners, even children, consume Spirit Rice over a long period, their physical fitness could improve, and their future strength would only be stronger! If they pursued this path, the short-term might not show profits... But if it were ten or twenty years later... the overall strength of the Human Race would have risen by two levels! Practitioners who originally only had the potential to reach the Silver level might be able to reach the Gold level! And those in the Gold level could even advance to the Master level! The more Master level practitioners there are, the more would eventually become Grandmasters... And from there to the Heavenly King level... If one were to extrapolate from this... "Hiss~" Su Xing took a deep breath; thinking this way, there really was potential in this venture! But the problem now was that Su Xing simply couldn''t grow enough Spirit Rice to feed all the low-rank practitioners, let alone the children, in the entire Great Xia Country! With billions of people in Great Xia Country, even if only a hundred million consumed Spirit Rice, that would still be a colossal figure... And Su Xing''s Spirit Field Blessed Land, in total, only had a little more than five hundred acres. Excluding the land used for cultivating Spiritual Medicine, the annual yield would only be around five million pounds... By those calculations, it seemed totally insufficient! Su Xing fell into deep thought and then suddenly remembered something. "Wait... If I remember correctly, by using Spirit Stones to set up a Spirit Gathering Array, one could transform ordinary land into a Spirit Field!" Even without a Spirit Gathering Array, by just transplanting a couple of Gathering Spirit Flowers and spending a few Spirit Stones, as long as the Spiritual Energy absorbed by the Spirit Rice wasn''t more than that of the Gathering Spirit Flowers, one could completely convert an acre of ordinary land into a Spirit Field capable of cultivating Spirit Rice! "This... seems to have a lot of potential!" A light sparked in Su Xing''s eyes, and he then asked Jin Congxue, "If you were to sell Spirit Rice, how much do you think you could sell it for?" Jin Congxue thought for a moment and said, "The actual value of this Spirit Rice is estimated to be about one hundred thousand dollars per pound... but if it goes through commercial packaging, and is marketed as something like the Rice of Genius or Specialty Rice for Practitioners, selling it for three to five hundred thousand dollars a pound wouldn''t be a problem!" After hearing Jin Congxue''s words, Su Xing nodded and said, "I will seriously consider this, and if later I decide that I want the Tarot Society to specialize in selling Spirit Rice, I will need your help!" Jin Congxue nodded after hearing this and confidently said, "Don''t worry! If you truly have enough Spirit Rice to sell, leave it to me. We have the exclusive supply of this rice C the only one in the entire world. Even if the price is high, do you think we''ll have trouble selling it?" After the meal, Su Xing and Jin Congxue chatted for a while and then he returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land. First, Su Xing converted the new batch of goods from Jin Congxue into energy. He exchanged for a total of over eleven million units of simulator energy, and as the Tarot Commerce Association grew larger, the energy Su Xing received also increased. Then, instead of rushing to simulate, Su Xing carefully considered the feasibility of selling Spirit Rice. "If I really want to cultivate Spirit Rice, I can simply bring more Gathering Spirit Flowers back from the simulator, growing a few thousand acres wouldn''t be too difficult, but the problem is..." "Large-scale cultivation of Spirit Rice would easily be noticed, which might not be a concern to others, but that damned Zong, he monitors everything related to Cultivation very closely!" After pondering for a moment, Su Xing realized that he had to deal with Zong, one of the few Cultivators he knew of, and also a Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouse. If he could take him down, the benefits would be immense! "Well then, let me try it out in a simulation, to see if I can cultivate Spirit Rice on a large scale!" Struck by the thought, Su Xing summoned the simulation panel and silently commanded, "Begin simulation!" Chapter 138: Chapter 121: A New Attempt, Planting Spirit Rice! ```[Ding! This simulation has consumed 3,500 energy points, remaining energy is 26,031,234 points, and the number of remaining simulations is unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Would you like to draw a talent?] "Draw a purple talent!" Su Xing said without hesitation. [Congratulations! You have obtained the purple talent: Full House!] [Full House]: Purple Talent. Your liquids possess mighty vitality. Your probability of "sowing seeds" successfully is one hundred percent. When you are old and gray, you shall indeed have a full house of descendants...] After seeing this talent, Su Xing was dumbfounded, and cursed out loud: "What the fuck! Is this also considered a purple talent? Goddamn ''Full House''? Doesn''t this pair perfectly with ''desperately seeking a child''?" Su Xing''s face darkened. Clearly, this talent could only be useful in extremely rare occasions. For example, when humanity was close to extinction and only Su Xing was left as a male in the world... Did it need him to stand out? Or perhaps... it would be needed for those races with extremely low reproduction rates, right? "Sigh, whatever! I''ll just pretend this talent doesn''t exist. Let''s continue with the simulation!" [Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you became aware that you were in a simulation.] [You began to consider expanding the cultivation of Spirit Rice, and you first made trials within the Spirit Field Blessed Land. It took you one month to reclaim wasteland and then planted more Spirit Grains.] [Subsequently, you started trying to arrange a Spirit Gathering Array, and with the boost from the Spirit Gathering Array, the growth speed of the Spirit Grains further increased.] [At the same time, you handed over ten thousand catties of Spirit Rice to Jin Congxue to sell. The Spirit Rice was unexpectedly popular, mostly purchased by professionals around twenty years of age, at the bronze and silver levels!] [Initially, when Spirit Rice was first introduced to the market, its selling price of three hundred thousand per catty was criticized as too expensive. But when a little girl bought ten catties of Spirit Rice in one go, and a month later her strength increased by two thousand catties, successfully advancing to a silver-level professional, the market took notice!] [After that, the Spirit Rice from the Tarot Commerce Association caught fire. Everyone went crazy buying Spirit Rice!] [In no time at all, the storefront of the Tarot Commerce Association was bustling. Sales of other goods also skyrocketed rapidly.] [For these professionals, Spirit Rice wasn''t just any rice, but a precious instance dungeon item that could permanently enhance their physical attributes! You should know that just thirty thousand for a catty would be cheap for an ordinary item that increases attributes!] [You should be aware that instance dungeon items that permanently increase attributes are exceedingly rare, costing millions or even tens of millions. Only high-level professionals can afford them, and they seldom increase attributes much. By comparison, Spirit Rice is really too cheap!] [Gradually, not only bronze and silver-level professionals came to buy Spirit Rice, but even gold-level professionals wanted to buy it!] [In just one short month, the ten thousand catties of Spirit Rice you had earlier taken out were snatched up. So, you had no choice but to take out another thirty thousand catties of Spirit Rice for Jin Congxue to sell!] [Immediately after, you asked Jin Congxue to have her subordinates record the repurchase rate of the Spirit Rice customers and the extent of their strength increase, hoping to test the effects of the Spirit Rice with this information.] [Several months later, Jin Congxue told you that the repurchase rate of Spirit Rice was almost one hundred percent! Moreover, the majority of people couldn''t even get their hands on Spirit Rice, and now it was being hoarded in the black market for up to one million Great Xia Coins per catty!] Su Xing''s jaw dropped at this information. "Goodness, one million per catty of rice; who the fuck can afford that?" You should know that the value of one catty of Spirit Rice brought out from an instance is just 1,000 energy points, which is equivalent to 200,000 Great Xia Coins, and if exchanged with instance dungeon items, it''s valued at around 100,000 Great Xia Coins or so And a flip of the hand in sales could make a tenfold profit? Of course, making money is secondary, just to recoup costs. What Su Xing values most is whether Spirit Rice can be mass-produced to enhance the overall strength of the Human Race And whether there will be any risks if Su Xing does this. The main risk, naturally, comes from the Descending Sect! Thinking this way, Su Xing continued reading. [You discovered that the strength of professionals who purchased Spirit Rice improved, more or less. The quickest of them could advance from the peak of the bronze level to the gold level within a month.] [Even the slow ones could undergo a transformation in their strength within three to five months!] [But Spirit Rice was soon put under pressure by the other commerce associations in the market that claimed the Tarot Society''s sales of Spirit Rice were upsetting the price order of the food market.] [Thus, Jin Congxue publicly announced that Spirit Rice was a type of instance dungeon item and strictly speaking, it did not count as food. With Jin Congxue''s efforts, the sales of Spirit Rice in the market only increased.] [Countless lower-tier professionals regarded Spirit Rice as a gift from heaven, enabling them to quickly advance in strength!] [Even experts predicted that if Spirit Rice could be sold to every citizen of Great Xia Country at low prices, then after ten years, the country''s overall strength would rise by more than one level.] ``` [In other words, the proverb says, "Gold is everywhere, while silver is worth less than a dog..."] [Soon, Jin Congxue informed you that the Great Xia Military had contacted her and hoped that she could discuss the matter of mass planting of Spirit Rice. Jin Congxue was undecided, so she sought your advice!] [After some thought, you told Jin Congxue to set a time, and you would talk about this matter with the Great Xia Country personally.] Upon reading this, Su Xing couldn''t help but focus intently. Because the official stance of the Great Xia was very important; if the Great Xia officials forced him to hand over the Spirit Rice, Su Xing would also fall into a crisis, which was unacceptable to him. [One day, you formally met with the representative of the Great Xia officials, who indeed was Jin Congxue''s grandpa, Lu Yuanwu.] [Lu Yuanwu was very cordial towards you; after exchanging pleasantries for a while, he began inquiring whether you could mass-produce this kind of Spirit Rice.] [You truthfully informed Lu Yuanwu that it was not yet possible, but in the future, the annual yield of Spirit Rice might be around twenty million catties.] [Lu Yuanwu felt slightly disappointed upon hearing this, for twenty million catties might seem like a large number, but to the entire Great Xia Country, it simply wasn''t enough.] [On average, this batch of Spirit Rice could, at most, nourish two million people per year, with each person consuming no more than ten catties a year.] [What the Great Xia officials wanted was for this batch of Spirit Rice to feed the entire Great Xia Country, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the country!] [Even so, Lu Yuanwu still expressed that if you could cooperate with the officials to cultivate this batch of Spirit Rice and sell it at a low price, as compensation, the Great Xia Country would allow you to propose any terms you wanted.] [Without much consideration, you agreed to this matter, but you stated that the promotion of this Spirit Rice would start two years later.] [Although Lu Yuanwu was puzzled, he still agreed to your terms.] [You returned to school and, as usual, farmed daily in the Spirit Field Blessed Land. The new batch of Spirit Rice in your Spirit Field was nearing maturity.] [One day, Wang Qingxuan found you, and because of the matter of the talent, you took careful precautionary measures.] [Afterward, you joined the Descending Sect.] [This time, your goal was very clear, and that was to empty the treasury of the Descending Sect.] [You directly revealed your strength, and the powerful prowess of the Divine Strength Realm immediately subdued the Elders. A faction leader personally met with you, stating that as long as you were willing to join the Descending Sect, you would become a Protector-level figure within three years if you performed well!] When Su Xing saw this, his heart stirred, Protector-level! That was comparable to the strength of the Martial Emperor of the Great Xia Country... There were probably only seven or eight Protector-level figures within the entire Descending Sect, and most of them came from other worlds, possessing strange abilities. The strength of Su Xing at the Divine Strength Realm was clearly valued by the Descending Sect, to be treated with such seriousness. "Protector-level, does that mean I would have the qualifications to know more secrets of the Descending Sect?" Su Xing fell into thought. His current knowledge about the Descending Sect was only mediocre. All he knew was that each individual in this organization was powerfully strong, including professionals from Blue Star as well as people from other Instance Dungeon worlds. This organization served the Foreign Race, thereby harming the interests of Blue Star. "From what I know now, the strongest person in the Descending Sect should be the faction leader, possessing strength comparable to Legendary Level... As for positions above the leader, that remains unknown..." Su Xing shook his head slightly; his interest in the Descending Sect actually lied in the batch of materials within their treasury. After all, that batch of materials could also be considered the foundation of Su Xing''s fortune-making! sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If only I could directly raid the Descending Sect''s treasury... Doing so, I would definitely acquire a large amount of energy, and my strength would definitely see a qualitative leap!" A sudden idea struck Su Xing, but then he felt slightly disheartened. "It''s a pity, the strength of the Dragon Protector guarding the treasury is unfathomable, definitely no lesser than the prowess of peak Divinity Transformation Stage powerful beings!" "But my strength isn''t weak either now; perhaps after I grow even stronger, I could attempt it?" Su Xing thought this to himself and then looked at the simulation panel. [You smoothly joined the Descending Sect, and for a while, all the Elders and Protectors of the Descending Sect came to meet you personally, but there was no sight of the Dragon Protector among them.] [You looked at Damned Zong''s hypocritically smiling face and knew in your heart that he probably wanted to take action against you all along but was wary of your strength.] [The next day, you found Luo Shuying, confessed everything to her, and earned her trust by speaking the passphrase.] [You stayed in the Descending Sect for several months. Given your formidable strength, many of the cult members respected you immensely, but you also felt a few presences constantly watching you, obviously not at ease with you.] [You would complete the tasks assigned by the Descending Sect each month, but this time, the task was not Alchemy, but to meet with the moles in various Instance Dungeons and factions, as these were simple tasks assigned to you as a newcomer.] [However, this left you with more time on your hands. You asked Luo Shuying to help you exchange for a large amount of materials and stockpiled Elixirs in your free time for future use.] [One day, Damned Zong approached you, inquiring about the reality world you came from and expressing interest in your Spirit Rice.] Chapter 139: Chapter 122: Three Days and Nights, Chasing for a Hundred Thousand Li! (Second Update) ```Su Xing''s heart shook when he saw this. Clearly, in this simulation, Su Xing''s strength was significant enough to arouse the wariness of the Damned Zong! Thus, the Damned Zong did not resort to forceful measures but instead wanted to make a trade with Su Xing. "Indeed, everything has to be based on strength! Without it, not even a chance for negotiation exists!" Moved by curiosity about what exactly the Damned Zong wanted to trade with him for, Su Xing continued to read. [The Damned Zong tells you that he has learned you are the one who sold Spirit Rice in large quantities. He says Spirit Rice is no ordinary commodity, and those mortals are not worthy of consuming it; hence, he wants to trade with you for Spirit Rice.] [Looking at the Damned Zong''s pretentious demeanor, you are struck with an idea and demand Snow Bone Jade Ginseng.] [Upon hearing your request for the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, the Damned Zong''s expression subtly changes, and he gives you a deep look.] [Observing the Damned Zong''s reaction, you understand that he may indeed possess Snow Bone Jade Ginseng or, at the very least, have heard of this medicinal ingredient.] [You promptly express that if the Damned Zong is willing to offer Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, you are willing to trade anything for it.] [The Damned Zong smiles at your words but then claims he has never heard of such an ingredient before leaving.] [Seizing the moment before the Damned Zong departs, you quickly plant the seed of the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique on him!] Su Xing''s eyes gleamed with excitement as he muttered to himself, "Finally, could the whereabouts of the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng be within reach? Maybe the Damned Zong has this medicinal ingredient on him! At the very least, he should know where it is!" With this thought, Su Xing''s desire to "inherit the legacy of the Damned Zong" intensified! As for how to inherit it... the natural course was to take him down first, then rightful succession! "However, the Damned Zong is full of tricks, and he also has the ability to sense danger and avoid it, escaping my ambush time after time. It seemed utterly impossible for me alone to deal with him..." After some contemplation, Su Xing muttered to himself, "Only a Legendary Level power may deal with him with a near-certain victory!" Having decided, Su Xing continued to look at the simulation panel. [You let the Damned Zong leave without opting to strike immediately. Even with the temptation to break through to Divinity Transformation, you knew you were unlikely to be the Damned Zong''s match. Moreover, this was the foothold of the Descending Sect; you simply couldn''t slay the Damned Zong here.] [Afterwards, you returned to your dwelling and practiced the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique day and night, eventually mastering the Divine Skill thoroughly enough to sense the location of the person marked with your Divine Sense.] [The next year, you spent several months concocting Soul Condensing Pills, exchanging the three-zhang long Condensing Spirit Wood from the treasury through Luo Shuying. In just a few months, you crafted over a thousand Soul Condensing Pills.] [You gave three hundred Soul Condensing Pills to Luo Shuying, understanding the immense benefit they would have for her and their help in her breakthrough!] [You concocted many top-quality Soul Condensing Pills, and next, you prepared to completely assimilate this batch to enhance your own Divine Sense!] [In the first month, you consumed one Soul Condensing Pill every three days. In just one month, your Divine Sense grew from fifty zhang to a hundred and fifty zhang!] [In the second month, you consumed ten Soul Condensing Pills, and your Divine Sense extended to two hundred and fifty zhang!] [In the third month, you took fifteen Soul Condensing Pills, and your Divine Sense reached three hundred zhang!] [The fourth month... the sixth month... the eighth month&] [Following that, you spent a year solely focusing on one thingincreasing your Divine Sense strength, apart from completing the necessary tasks. In just one year, with the profound effects of the Soul Condensing Pills, your Divine Sense grew to over six hundred zhang!] [In theory, this was already comparable to the Divine Sense strength of an ordinary Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator. However, you knew the Damned Zong had profound depths and surely more than this, and since you always liked to have an ace up your sleeve, you continued consuming Soul Condensing Pills to increase your Divine Sense strength!] [In the third year, after another year of consuming elixirs, you increased your Divine Sense range from six hundred zhang to eight hundred and fifty zhang!] [This was far beyond the Divine Sense strength of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and although you hadn''t reached your limit, the Soul Condensing Pills had slowly become less effective on your Divine Sense.] [At this time, Luo Shuying informed you that she had successfully broken through to the Legendary Level. You knew it was time to make your move!] [In the past two years, the Damned Zong seemed to have sensed something and stayed mostly within the Descending Sect headquarters, rarely leaving. However, you had patience. Knowing that the Damned Zong, as a protector, must eventually leave on missions, you prepared to strike at that moment!] [You activated the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique, feeling the Damned Zong''s location. With your Divine Sense strength, he couldn''t escape your tracking within thousands of li!] [So, you patiently waited.] [This wait lasted two years!] ``` [In these two years, you have not been idle. On one hand, you continued to enhance the strength of your Divine Sense, on the other hand, you farmed daily and amassed elixirs. In your Spirit Field Blessed Land, you have already stocked over ten million kilograms of Spirit Rice, and you also refined more than one hundred thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills, Organ Refining Pills, and other elixirs.] [You were only waiting for the day to strike down that Damned Zong, and then you and Luo Shuying would defect from the Descending Sect!] [In the sixth year, as fortune favors the diligent, Damned Zong had been staying in the sect headquarters without going out on missions, which had caused dissatisfaction among the leaders of the fervent faction. With no other choice, Damned Zong was forced to go out on a mission.] Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Upon discovering this information in secret, you promptly notified Luo Shuying to prepare for action!] Su Xing, upon seeing this, felt a slight surge of excitement and muttered: "Finally, that old fox, Damned Zong, has shown his weakness!" "If he had kept holing up inside the Descending Sect, I really would have had no way to deal with him The Descending Sect has at least three Legendary Level powerhouses, I''m afraid I would need to muster the top combat forces of half the Great Xia Country to potentially kill Damned Zong within the Descending Sect That''s rather unrealistic." "But as long as this guy leaves the Descending Sect, then everything becomes much easier!" Su Xing seemed to have already envisioned the moment Luo Shuying killed Damned Zong, and he himself blissfully obtained Damned Zong''s legacy. "But I shouldn''t get too excited too early! That Damned Zong is cunning and scheming, we must not let our guard down until the very last moment!" Su Xing reminded himself mentally, then continued looking at the simulation panel. [Damned Zong had left the territory of the Descending Sect and then darted into the mountains, escaping toward the west.] [You didn''t rush to take action because Damned Zong had just left the Descending Sect by less than a hundred kilometers. For a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator at Great Perfection, it would take less than a quarter of an hour to flee back, and you were not confident you could kill him in such a short time.] [So, you continued staying inside the sect, ready to notify Luo Shuying at any moment, and you used your secret technique, the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique, to constantly sense Damned Zong''s position] [Damned Zong stayed in the mountains a hundred kilometers west of the Descending Sect for a full seven days, then went straight to the northern mountains and stayed there for another seven days.] [After that, he sequentially visited the mountains to the east and south, always staying more than a hundred kilometers away from the Descending Sect, as if he was probing something.] Su Xing slapped his thigh in realization and exclaimed: "This Damned Zong is really too cautious! He''s been staying a hundred kilometers away from the main camp of the Descending Sect, probably trying to fish!" "This distance is definitely safe enough for him to escape back! And if he''s doing this, he probably really noticed something!" Su Xing was clear in his heart that Damned Zong must have sensed danger, otherwise, why would a normal person run around pointlessly? "Heh, but this hunter of mine is even more patient than you can imagine!" Su Xing muttered to himself and continued looking at the simulation panel. [Damned Zong kept probing and gradually moved farther from the Descending Sect, from a hundred kilometers to three hundred kilometers Just when you were preparing to take action, Damned Zong suddenly returned close to a hundred kilometers outside the Descending Sect and stayed there for a long time] [After knowing what Damned Zong did, you sneered, aware that he couldn''t keep this up since the mission had a time limit. So, you simply continued alchemy and used the tracking technique to determine Damned Zong''s position, ready to act as soon as he fled.] [Three months passed like this, with Damned Zong circling between one hundred and three hundred kilometers from the Descending Sect without any discernible pattern.] [One day, while sensing, Damned Zong arrived within three hundred kilometers northwest of the Descending Sect. Just when you thought he was running aimlessly as usual, Damned Zong suddenly sped up and darted hundreds of kilometers away within a few minutes.] [You immediately reacted and promptly informed Luo Shuying that it was time to make a move.] [As a Divine Strength Realm cultivator, you could travel a thousand miles in no time, while Luo Shuying was even better known for speed, her travel pace was even faster than yours.] [Thus, you both pursued in the direction of Damned Zong!] [In your sense, Damned Zong''s escape speed kept increasing, as if he sensed something was chasing him!] [With your speed, you surprisingly couldn''t catch up with Damned Zong for a while, so you promptly informed Luo Shuying of the escape direction and asked her to chase alone first, while you would arrive shortly!] [Thus, you chased for three days and nights, yet Damned Zong continued to flee, even escaping beyond the territorial range of the Great Xia Country.] [By then, you had long separated from Luo Shuying, maintaining contact only through the mobile phone.] [Suddenly, in your sensation, Damned Zong changed direction, not continuing northwest but fleeing southwest.] [At this moment, Luo Shuying was completely unaware of this, so you quickly sent her a message, then pursued Damned Zong alone!] [You chased southwest and prayed in your heart that Luo Shuying could meet up with you as soon as possible.] [But at that moment, Damned Zong, who had been fleeing rapidly, suddenly stopped and headed straight towards you!] [Your heart skipped a beat, to be honest you weren''t sure if you could defeat Damned Zong] [But now, there was no time to think too much, you had to hold him off until Luo Shuying arrived!] Chapter 140: Chapter 123: The Great Battle Against Damned Zong, Su Xings Overt Plot! (Third Update) Su Xing''s brow furrowed tightly as he saw this.Damned Zong indeed possessed a peculiar ability, able to sense danger and even pinpoint his location! And with Su Xing''s strength, defeating Damned Zong head-on was nearly impossible. "The only plan for now is to hold off Damned Zong, only by holding out until Luo Shuying comes to support can there be a chance to kill him!" Su Xing felt a surge of excitement in his heart. From the first time he had met Damned Zong, treated like an ant and almost refined into a Human Pill. Now, Su Xing finally had the chance to face Damned Zong in direct combat! Although the odds of winning were slim... Su Xing still wanted to try. "If it''s a fight you want, then it''s a fight you''ll get! Let''s see just how terrifying a peak Divinity Transformation Cultivator really is!" Determined, Su Xing looked towards the simulation panel. [You realize that Damned Zong is coming straight for you, but this time you no longer plan to run away. You diligently adjust your breathing, bringing your body to its optimal state, then extravagantly take out two Spirit Stones to begin restoring your Spiritual Power.] [You sit cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation, yet constantly aware of Damned Zong''s position. In your senses, the light representing Damned Zong rapidly approaches!] [At a certain moment, you open your eyes and draw the Ink Ice Sword at your waist, meticulously wiping it.] [You know that with an opponent like Damned Zong, you absolutely cannot hold back. From the start, you must give it your all! And your biggest trump card is "Three Talents Sword Technique" within the Human Sword!] [The Human Sword, the sword of a thousand foes! You silently recall this phrase from the Sword Cultivator''s codex, your blood boiling for the upcoming battle, yet you feel not much fear.] [Your Spirit Sword Mo Bing whispers softly in your hands as if sensing your thoughts.] [A black dot appears in the distance, rapidly growing larger within your field of vision, eventually stopping a hundred meters in front of you.] [The person is none other than Damned Zong. The moment he sees you, his eyes reveal surprise, and at the same time, a bit of gratification.] [Damned Zong sneers without saying much, simply taking out a bone sword and turning into a black streak heading straight toward you.] [Seeing this, you too channel the Ink Ice Sword in your hand and go forth to meet Damned Zong!] Seeing this, Su Xing immediately became so angry that he slapped his thigh and complained: "Dammit, it''s all lies in the novels! Isn''t it said that the villains blabber before starting to fight, only to be defeated because of their blabbering?" "How come this Damned Zong starts fighting without a word! Is this the real way for a villain to act? Acting ruthlessly and without dawdling..." Su Xing knew very well that a shrewd old Cultivator like Damned Zong would never drag his feet, which made him feel even more vexed. He continued to look towards the simulation panel. [Damned Zong is powerful, his swordsmanship is cruel and outstanding, with each strike being lethal. The mourning from his bone sword seems to carry the resentment of countless souls, constantly assaulting your psyche.] [Fortunately, your Divine Soul is powerful. Although you are only at the Nascent Soul Stage, your Divine Sense is nearly nine hundred feet. Otherwise, under the bone sword''s soulful assault, you would have instantly become an imbecile.] [Even so, when battling Damned Zong, you are greatly affected by the bone sword, feeling as if your Divine Sense is being bitten by insects.] [Enduring the discomfort of your Divine Soul, you wield the Ink Ice Sword in your hand, parrying attacks from Damned Zong.] [After just over a dozen exchanges, you sense that something is wrong. Damned Zong is not only cruel and unpredictable, but his strength is also no less than yours.] [You instantly understand that Damned Zong is probably a dual cultivator of both spirit and body, not only at the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation Stage, but his Body Refinement Cultivation Level is also likely that of a seasoned Divine Strength Realm powerhouse.] [But at this moment, you know you have no way out; a single flaw would mean nothing but death.] [You forcefully swing out a sword strike, driving back Damned Zong, then stretch out your left hand, where a terrifying flame appears in your palm.] [It''s the Divine Skill, Li Fire Technique!] [You toss the Li Fire gently, sending it flying toward Damned Zong. At first, Damned Zong wears a cold smile, but upon feeling the terrifying aura from the Li Fire, his expression subtly changes.] [He seems to recognize the origin of the flame, and his gaze towards you carries a trace of fear.] [But Damned Zong is not a vegetarian, as a Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouse who has lived for a thousand years, he naturally has some trump cards. He extends his left hand, hidden in his large sleeve, and a black energy assails you!] S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You are shocked at the sight of Damned Zong''s left hand because it seems charred like charcoal, the skin shriveled to the bones, and wholly blackened, coiling with a daunting black energy.] [The vast black energy from Damned Zong''s hand wraps around your Li Fire almost instantly, the fire flickers, the flames gradually diminishing as if about to be extinguished.] [Seeing this, you hasten to channel Spiritual Power, continuously infusing Spiritual Energy into the Li Fire. With the influx of Spiritual Energy, the Li Fire slowly starts to resist the black energy''s encroachment and begins to fight back.] [Damned Zong frowns slightly and then increases his Spiritual Power input, with the black energy once again gaining the upper hand.] [You refuse to show weakness, continuing to desperately infuse Spiritual Energy, and immediately take out Spirit Stones from your storage bag, maintaining the supply of Spiritual Power while replenishing what''s being consumed.] Su Xing sighed slightly at the sight. "This must be the rumored battle between Cultivators, right? What''s the background of that black energy that it can actually compete with the Li Fire?" But then Su Xing shook his head and said: Chapter 142: Chapter 124: Finally Killing the Damned Zong, Magical Treasure Explodes! (First Update) ```"Damned Zong didn''t want to tangle with you. He knew that although the portable paradise was precious, one had to be alive to use it." "For him, having already obtained dozens of Gathering Spirit Flowers, such a quantity was sufficient for him to break through to the Return to Void Realm within several decades." "Therefore, all he wanted now was to leave as quickly as possible and escape that terrifying presence that was rapidly approaching." "But how could you let him do as he wished? At the risk of sustaining serious injuries, you desperately activated your Spiritual Power, using your own body to hold back Damned Zong." "In just tens of seconds, your body was severely damaged yet again." "But at this moment, Luo Shuying finally arrived!" "Luo Shuying suddenly appeared from a shadowy area, and without a word, she attacked Damned Zong." "Damned Zong was initially delighted to see Luo Shuying, and was just about to say something, but when he saw Luo Shuying coming at him, he quickly mobilized his bone sword to defend himself." "Obviously, Damned Zong hadn''t expected that you had already allied with Luo Shuying with the intention of taking his life." "After all, in his view, Luo Shuying had been an old-time protector of the Descending Sect for more than a dozen years, and you had only joined three years ago. How could she have been turned by you?" "But things had come to this, and Damned Zong couldn''t think too much, only able to fight back with all his might." "The two of them clashed like flashes of blades and shadows of swords in the high sky for dozens of rounds." "However, compared to you, Legendary Level Luo Shuying obviously had much higher strength, dominating Damned Zong the entire time!" "And Damned Zong was also using all his trump cards, barely managing to hold up against Luo Shuying''s offensive." Su Xing let out a sigh of relief upon seeing this. "Luckily, Luo Shuying arrived just in time... This Damned Zong''s strength really cannot be underestimated. Even though I''m at the Divine Strength Realm, there''s still such a huge gap between him and me..." "Even so, this old dog is actually able to exchange dozens of moves with a Legendary Level fighter, clearly indicating that his strength is nearly Legendary..." Su Xing wasn''t too worried about whether Luo Shuying could defeat Damned Zong. After all, Luo Shuying had been able to dominate Damned Zong when she was at the peak of the Martial Emperor Level. Now that she had broken through to Legendary Level, it was obviously even less of a concern. However, Su Xing was somewhat worried that this old dog, with his many tricks and expertise in surviving, might be able to escape from Luo Shuying''s attacks." "Sss~ It''s really hard to say... Luo Shuying chased him for several days and nights without being able to kill him before. This old dog definitely has too many trump cards, and we absolutely cannot take him lightly!" Su Xing silently reminded himself, his gaze turning toward the simulation panel. "While Luo Shuying and Damned Zong were locked in battle, you hurriedly activated the Spiritual Power in your body, attempting to purge the black qi that Damned Zong had implanted into you." "But this black qi was like a bone-perforating maggot; as soon as your Spiritual Power touches it, it was quickly consumed, instead strengthening the black qi a bit." "You were even more alarmed in your heart, realizing that this black qi was extremely malicious, definitely the bane of Qi Cultivation Cultivators. Had you not been practicing Body Refinement as well, you would have fallen at Damned Zong''s feet long ago." "You tried using the Li Fire Technique to expel the black qi, and sure enough, derived from the ancient Vermilion Bird''s fire, the Li Fire Technique had a good restraining effect on the black qi." "However, the Li Fire Technique consumed a lot, and the process of purging the black qi was extremely painful. You consumed a lot of Spirit Stones, just barely getting rid of most of the black qi in your body, with the remaining qi having penetrated too deep to be eliminated in a short time." "But at this moment, having recovered your fighting strength and after swallowing a few Wound Healing Pills, you were ready to join the battle." "Damned Zong, fighting Luo Shuying alone, was already struggling. Now seeing you regain your fighting power, he was immediately filled with fear, knowing that if he did not flee, he might truly end up dead here today." "Damned Zong, with his rich combat experience, was not thrown into disarray by your addition. He knew that to break through, he had to find an opportunity in the gaps, which meant first seriously injuring you. Then, Luo Shuying would surely be too busy to notice, giving him a great chance to escape." "But you knew this as well, so you didn''t join the fight directly. Instead, you just controlled the Li Fire Technique from a distance to harass Damned Zong." "As expected, Damned Zong, while counteracting Luo Shuying, had to be careful of your surprise Li Fire attacks. Soon, he could barely cope, being hit by Luo Shuying multiple times and being burned by your Li Fire Technique, suffering intensely." "Seeing that you wouldn''t take the bait, Damned Zong resorted to cunning, starting to taunt Luo Shuying. He directly claimed that you were Luo Shuying''s kept pretty boy, and stated that the Descending Sect had not treated her poorly. If she was truly loyal, in the future, she might not lack the opportunity to join the main clan (Foreign Race). All the while, he kept trying to disturb Luo Shuying''s emotions, hoping to find an opening." "However, Luo Shuying was not at all disturbed by Damned Zong''s words. She had no loyalty towards the Foreign Race to begin with, nor did she care about others'' slanders, and instead increased the force of her attacks on Damned Zong even further." "Seeing himself being driven to a corner multiple times, Damned Zong grimaced and stimulated a secret technique. An innumerable amount of black qi surged into his body, his eyes turning pitch black as if he had been possessed." "Under the influence of the Demonic Qi, Damned Zong was clearly much stronger, gradually being able to withstand the offensive of the two of you, but you could feel the instability of his energy and knew that he couldn''t maintain this state for long." "Sure enough, after only a minute, Damned Zong thought of escaping, darting away into the distance." ``` [But you and Luo Shuying closely followed, and the damned Zong quickly exited the state of Demonic Qi entering his body, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood tainted with black poison, his eyes filled with resentful fury.] Su Xing looked on somewhat dumbstruck, murmuring to himself: "This damned Zong''s techniques are even more numerous than I imagined! To think he still had the Demonic Qi invasion up his sleeve, had he used that from the start, I definitely wouldn''t have been able to withstand it" "But he didn''t use it then, which goes to show the cost of this accursed secret technique must be enormous!" "Cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage really are unfathomable, especially these old monsters who have lived for a thousand years Defeating them is easy, but killing them is too difficult!" Su Xing took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination. "But it''s precisely for this reason that I must kill you! The path of cultivation is about struggling against heaven, struggling against others... Besides, this damned Zong is cruel and ruthless. If I don''t kill him, he will eventually come to kill me... I might as well strike first!" Su Xing looked again at the simulation panel. [The damned Zong shot you a piercing look and then roared, seemingly wanting to pounce on you in a desperate one-for-one exchange. Seeing his reckless appearance, you immediately became cautious, quickly mustering your Origin Force to parry.] [Unexpectedly, the damned Zong dashed halfway and then stepped out, leaping hundreds of feet like performing Spatial Teleportation, escaping from the encirclement of you and Luo Shuying in the blink of an eye.] [You quickly marshaled your Spiritual Power, chasing after the damned Zong, but Luo Shuying was even faster than you, relentlessly pursuing right behind him.] [The damned Zong continually activated his Mana, his footsteps appearing mysterious; with each light step, he would appear hundreds of feet away the next second. Even Luo Shuying could only see his silhouette from a distance with such speed.] [But you knew that such life-saving Divine Skills must consume tremendously and wouldn''t last long, so you quickly informed Luo Shuying, asking her not to give up the chase.] [Luo Shuying nodded gravely, unrelentingly pursuing the damned Zong, maintaining a distance of several hundred meters between them.] [The damned Zong glanced back at you and seeing that you were not giving up, cursed under his breath and sped up his run.] [You saw him taking out one or two Spirit Stones from his Storage Magical Artifact from time to time to replenish his strength, his face showing a pained expression.] [But the life-saving Divine Skill could not be activated indefinitely, and after chasing him for hundreds of kilometers, the damned Zong finally stopped.] [He turned his gaze toward you, his eyes carrying a hint of pleading. He stated that it was not uncommon for Cultivators to kill for treasure, and he was willing to hand over the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng to you, just asking you to spare his life.] [But you snorted coldly, pretending to agree, while exchanging a glance with Luo Shuying, who immediately understood your intention.] [You saw the damned Zong throw out a Storage Bag, tossing it far away to the ground, then he turned and continued to flee relentlessly.] [You and Luo Shuying did not look at the Storage Bag but mentally noted its location, continuing your pursuit of the damned Zong.] [After chasing him for a day and a night, you finally wore the damned Zong down to the brink of exhaustion.] [At this moment, the Spiritual Power within the damned Zong was extremely unstable, and even you were gasping for air, feeling exhausted throughout your body.] [Only the Legendary Level Luo Shuying seemed fairly stable, just slightly out of breath.] [Seeing that the damned Zong was no longer fleeing, Luo Shuying did not hesitate to attack him once more.] [The damned Zong sneered, and before his death, he looked deeply at you, then took out his Storage Magical Artifact, as if he wanted to destroy it then and there.] [You wanted to stop him but were too late, only able to watch as the Storage Magical Artifact exploded on the spot, falling to the ground from high above.] [Meanwhile, Luo Shuying struck the damned Zong''s head, causing blood and flesh to splatter everywhere.] [A black light shot out from the damned Zong''s body, flying straight toward the distance.] sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You knew that it was the damned Zong''s Primordial Spirit, and you naturally could not just watch him escape, so you activated the Li Fire Technique, attacking the damned Zong''s Primordial Spirit.] [Scorched by the high temperatures of the Li Fire Technique, the damned Zong let out a wretched scream, begging you to show mercy and not to be utterly ruthless.] [You just looked at him coldly, asking about the whereabouts of the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng. The damned Zong said that the seeds of the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng were in the Storage Bag he had just thrown out, begging you to spare his life.] [Of course, you wouldn''t easily believe him, but you didn''t have a technique to imprison the Primordial Spirit and could only threaten the damned Zong with the Li Fire Technique.] [You first utilized your Divine Sense to locate each piece of the shattered Storage Magical Artifact left by the damned Zong upon his death.] [This damned Zong proved to be cruel and ruthless in his thoughts, wishing to leave no treasures for you even in his final moments, with most Magic Artifacts in the Storage Bag reduced to shreds, leaving behind only a few badly damaged Magic Artifacts and Jade Slips.] [You picked up one of the Jade Slips and probed it with your Divine Sense, and then your heart shook violently, for it was a secret technique of Cultivators!] [Named: The Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique!] Chapter 143: Chapter 125: Damned Zongs Diary, Who Keeps a Diary Seriously? (Second Update) ```"Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique?" Su Xing was startled for a moment, then he realized this must be a secret technique that allowed a cultivator to predict fortunes. There''s a saying in fortune-telling: First is fate, second is luck, third is feng shui, fourth is accumulating virtue, and fifth is education... Could this fortune-telling technique really predict one''s fortunes? With this thought, Su Xing had an epiphany. He finally understood why Damned Zong always managed to pursue gains and avoid losses, escaping his ambush time after time. That bastard must have sensed the danger! He even went to the extent of hunkering down in a gully a hundred kilometers outside the Descending Sect for months on end, a level of caution that even Su Xing had to admire. But this proved that the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique was indeed useful! It was definitely thanks to this secret technique that Damned Zong sensed the crisis in advance and escaped from Su Xing''s hands through various simulations. However, no matter how much this cultivator lurked, he still couldn''t compare to the cheat-like Su Xing. If once didn''t work, try twice; if twice didn''t work, ten times! Since he could simulate, he eventually slaughtered that Damned Zong in the simulator. "This Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique... seems like a perfect match for me, doesn''t it?" Touching his chin, Su Xing mumbled to himself, as the chosen one with the simulator, the most important thing he needed was stability, was not to stand below the dangerous wall. And this Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique was just the right fit for that. As long as Su Xing learned this technique, would he still have to worry about danger finding him? A slight smile crept upon Su Xing''s lips, followed by a sigh: "Although Damned Zong is an evil cultivator, I''ve truly learned a lot from him..." "A cultivator is essentially struggling against heaven, seeking the proof of the path to immortality, not to compete for transitory anger... Only those who are stable enough (survive) can have the last laugh!" Thinking this, Su Xing realized he was still too young compared to Damned Zong. Looking back now, many of the things he had done were somewhat flawed. If they were discovered by someone with intentions, Su Xing might already be in danger right now. Like the establishment of the Tarot Commerce Association with Jin Congxue to collect equipment, tools, and the large-scale selling of elixirs. Although through simulation, Su Xing confirmed that Jin Congxue could be trusted, the massive influx of these equipments and the precious elixirs could not have been protected by Su Xing, who was just a small Golden Core Stage cultivator back then. "But now it''s different... Divine Strength Realm, comparable to Martial Emperor strength, it''s indeed enough to protect a small Tarot Commerce Association!" S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing thought to himself. "As for the mass cultivation of Spirit Rice, it can wait for some time. First, I need to explore in the simulations, continuously searching for how to plant Spirit Grains on the largest scale..." "Secondly, my strength is still not strong enough. If the matter of the Spirit Grains gets discovered by the Descending Sect or even the Foreign Race, I fear what I will encounter is endless assassination attempts!" The thought of the hundreds of assassinations he experienced in the simulator made Su Xing''s scalp tingle. Living a life without a sense of security was not something Su Xing could endure. After careful consideration, Su Xing returned his gaze to the simulation panel. [You excitedly pick up the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique and start reading, and sure enough, this secret technique can really calculate fortunes and sense imminent personal crises!] [You skim through it, and find that the content of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique is incomplete, a small but crucial part of the latter has been erased when Damned Zong destroyed his storage bag.] [Thinking of this, anger wells up in you, and you burn Damned Zong with the Li Fire Technique, making him scream in agony.] [Afterward, you start collecting nearby, gathering the few remaining damaged artifacts together.] [Having done all this, you then use the Li Fire Technique to threaten Damned Zong, spending several days to find the complete storage bag he had thrown away.] [To your surprise, the seeds of the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng are actually inside this storage bag. Besides the seeds, there is also a large amount of diaries written by Damned Zong!] Seeing this, Su Xing was taken aback and muttered: "Geez, this Damned Zong really is no good... Who keeps a diary in earnest?" "Hehe, but this diary is just wonderful. If I could understand more about the affairs of the Cultivation World from it... These are all valuable pieces of information!" With this thought, Su Xing was moved and silently chanted: "Use immersive simulation function, duration two hours!" [Ding, it has been detected that you are using the immersive simulation function for 2 hours, costing 200,000 energy, remaining energy 25,931,234 points.] The voice of the simulator rang in Su Xing''s ears. Then Su Xing''s view changed, and in the next second, he appeared in an unfamiliar environment. This was a continuous range of high mountains that extended far beyond the borders of the Great Xia. Next to Su Xing stood a woman in a black tight-fitting garment with a veil on her face, it was Luo Shuying. And a blob of peculiar black light was in front of Su Xing; that was Damned Zong. "Su Xing, we need to hurry... Killing this Protector has taken too long; I''m worried that if too much time passes, the people from the Descending Sect will notice something amiss, and it will be bad if they come after us!" Luo Shuying frowned slightly and said to Su Xing in a low voice. After thinking it over, Su Xing said, "Let''s find a place to hide first. We''re not far from the borders of Great Xia, and since we''re in the north, I''ll notify Kyoto to send someone. With their help, we should be safe..." Luo Shuying frowned slightly upon hearing this, having been a traitor to the Descending Sect for decades, she somewhat hostilely perceived the Great Xia government. ``` Chapter 145: Chapter 126: The Life of Zong Paopao, Spirit Rice Experiment a Great Success! ```"To slaughter an entire city just to refine a treasure, this damned Zong is truly vicious..." Su Xing cursed inwardly, feeling that killing Damned Zong directly was still too merciful. He should have tortured him with the Li Fire Technique for forty-nine days and only then destroyed his Primordial Spirit. Su Xing then took out Damned Zong''s diary to skim through it. But alas, Damned Zong''s diary had too many entries, mostly trivial matters, and Su Xing''s immersive simulation time was short, so he could only get a general idea, hoping to find useful information among them. "In the year 2758 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I slaughtered a sect and happened upon the secret method to form a Nascent Soul, hence I went into seclusion." "In the year 2769 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I finally formed my Nascent Soul!" "In the year 2778 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I was pursued and fled for my life..." "In the year 2803 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I was pursued and fled for my life..." "In the year 2930 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I reached Great Perfection in the Nascent Soul, thus I sought the Infant Tempering Pill to form a top-quality Nascent Soul!" "In the year 2933 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I found an alchemy grandmaster who could refine the Infant Tempering Pill, and I killed him!" "In the year 2935 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I fled for my life..." "In the year 2940 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I broke through to Divinity Transformation!" "In the year 2963 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I returned to my sect and slaughtered them all!" "In the year 3338 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I achieved Great Perfection in Divinity Transformation!" "In the year 3339 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, nature''s spiritual energy grows ever thinner, cultivators no longer hope for immortality, thus I took the Yellow Springs Pill and fell into slumber, hoping to extend my life and find another opportunity..." "In the year 5077 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I was unintentionally awakened by a group of low-level Body Refinement Cultivators, furious, I killed them!" "In the year 5088 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, there''s no longer spiritual energy between heaven and earth, no hope for proving the Dao, just surviving..." "In the year 5168 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I chanced upon an old dragon and joined the Descending Sect! In search of a chance for immortality..." Su Xing sighed in relief as he read this and murmured, "Damned Zong, this guy actually lived for over two thousand years?" "Although, he did extend his lifespan by falling into a slumber with the Yellow Springs Pill... still, living for over two thousand years is quite astonishing!" Looking back at Damned Zong''s life, he was not considered to be exceptionally talented, forming his Nascent Soul at over three hundred years old and achieving Divinity Transformation at over five hundred years old, probably surviving so long by taking numerous life-extending Spiritual Medicines. "This Damned Zong has committed many evils throughout his life, but he was very cautious, escaping from the moment he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage until he clawed his way to the Divinity Transformation Stage, then returned to his sect, exterminating the entire sect... truly, the revenge of a petty person can wait for five hundred years..." Su Xing finally understood why Damned Zong was so cautious. "However, there doesn''t seem to be any mention of the Changchun Technique in Damned Zong''s diary... Could it be that the sect he originally joined was the Changchun Sect?" "Or rather... did this old dog obtain this cultivation technique when he was destroying other sects?" Su Xing was curious; the Changchun Technique was the cultivation technique he was currently practicing, sadly only up to the Return to Void Realm. After this time, Su Xing would soon be entering the Divinity Transformation Stage, and wasn''t far from reaching the peak of the Changchun Technique. Therefore, Su Xing must quickly find a way to acquire a more advanced cultivation technique... Suddenly Su Xing thought of something, looking at the diary''s dates, he murmured, "Immortal Martial Chronicle... If I remember correctly, the Great Xia Country should have a copy of coordinates named ''The Age of the Waning Dharma'', right? Perhaps, Damned Zong was a person from that copied world?" Su Xing pondered silently, maybe he could explore this Age of the Waning Dharma copy world a bit in the future, possibly obtaining some useful information. Su Xing briefly flipped through Damned Zong''s diary again. Soon after, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. Back in the real world, Su Xing looked toward the simulation panel. [You have perused the treasures and diary left by Damned Zong, hoping to glean some useful information.] [Through this information, you have indeed learned more of the secrets of the cultivation world, it''s a pity that Damned Zong''s magical artifacts have mostly been destroyed.] [You and Luo Shuying have hidden in the mountains for several days, during which you have spent day and night together, a lone man and a widowed woman in a pitch-dark cave, and your affection for each other has deepened.] [In a few days, Lu Yuanwu arrived with a few Martial Emperors and Legendary Level experts to rendezvous, and you safely reached the Kyoto of Great Xia.] [After returning to Kyoto, you gave all the elixirs that you had accumulated over the years to the Great Xia Military, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level warriors to the Great Xia Country.] ``` [The Great Xia Military instantly took this matter seriously, and you were hailed as a hero of the Human Race, successfully ascending into the upper echelons of Great Xia.] [Faced with fame and fortune, however, you showed no interest. Instead, you used your authority to lease ten thousand mu of mountainside in the outskirts of Kyoto, and deployed your personnel to start developing the land.] [In the seventh year, you were both overseeing the development of the wasteland and refining middle-grade elixirs like Divine Strength Pills, Dragon Spirit Pills, and Origin Martial Pills.] [You kept a hundred premium Divine Strength Pills for your own use, and donated the remaining elixirs to the Great Xia Military, thereby adding several hundred Heavenly Kings and several dozen Martial Emperor Level powerhouses to Great Xia Country!] [As a result, your stature within Great Xia and even among the entire Human Race grew ever higher, but you focused your attention on attempting to cultivate Spirit Grains.] [You came to the center of those ten thousand mu of land and began to figure out how to lay out a small Spirit Gathering Array.] [The Spirit Gathering Array you improved used a Spirit Stone and a Gathering Spirit Flower as the array''s focal points: the Spirit Stone released spiritual energy outward, while the Gathering Spirit Flower absorbed spiritual energy and could release even more spiritual energy.] [Such a cycle repeated over and over, where a Spirit Stone and a Gathering Spirit Flower acted like perpetual engines of spiritual energy, continuously releasing spiritual energy outward.] [But you quickly discovered that spiritual energy would also scatter and deplete. In the Spirit Gathering Array, if there were too many living beings, the supply of spiritual energy couldn''t keep up with the consumption, and the spiritual energy would gradually diminish until it was exhausted.] [You had to find this balance, where the consumption of spiritual energy was just slightly less than the supply. After some measurement, you realized that a small Spirit Gathering Array could cover a maximum range of three mu.] [Therefore, in the fields of the outskirts of Kyoto, you laid down three Spirit Gathering Arrays and took out seeds to plant Spirit Grains in nine mu of land.] [In the following year, you both cultivated and experimented with the cultivation of Spirit Grains.] [Besides that, every day you also planted Three-tailed Phoenix Grass and Jade Bone Snow Ginseng in the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [The Three-tailed Phoenix Grass thrived pleasingly. In just seven short years, it had almost produced its first tail feather, and you were delighted, convinced that you could achieve full maturity in this trial.] [On the other hand, the cultivation of Jade Bone Snow Ginseng worried you. It grew in extremely cold places and required spiritual energy, but your Spirit Field Blessed Land, being ever spring-like, couldn''t satisfy the growing conditions for the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng.] [Having no other choice, you took Luo Shuying with you to one of the Twelve Domains in the Seven Countriesthe Arctic Domain. Located in the far north, it was perennially below minus fifty degrees, where ordinary lifeforms could hardly survive.] [However, as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, you were unaffected by heat and cold. You found a secluded spot in the Arctic Domain, where you planted the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng and set up a small Spirit Gathering Array to provide the ginseng with spiritual power.] [After ensuring the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng could survive, you returned to Great Xia Country.] [In the eighth year, the experimentation with your Spirit Field on the outskirts of Kyoto was completed. Comparing the Spirit Grains of the three Spirit Gathering Arrays, you found that the spiritual energy in one location was already exhausted, but the others still had ample spiritual energy.] [You harvested the Spirit Grains from the other two locations, discovering that the yield for one mu was about five thousand jin. Going beyond that amount, the supply of spiritual power would be insufficient.] [At the same time, since the land in the real world cannot compare to that of a Spirit Field Blessed Land, it could only yield one crop per year.] [Even so, you were extremely satisfied. A Spirit Stone paired with a Gathering Spirit Flower could cultivate three mu of a Spirit Fieldthat''s 15,000 jin! Moreover, such a small Spirit Gathering Array could operate for a long time, easily maintained for a hundred years!] [You still had a thousand Spirit Stones in hand, so a yearly yield of 15 million jin was not a problem!] [The real issue was that you didn''t have enough Gathering Spirit Flowers. To cultivate one thousand mu of land, you''d need at least three hundred stems of Gathering Spirit Flowers.] [But you had already achieved your goal. Spirit Grains could be popularized among all humanity, forming a hundred-year plan, not to be rushed in an instant. Your only intention this time was to see if it was feasible to cultivate them in the real world.] [Through these years, you had already planted Spirit Grains on the five hundred mu of wasteland in your Spirit Field Blessed Land. After six to seven years, you already had 30 million jin of Spirit Grains in your hands!] [You took out this batch of Spirit Grains and selected under eighteen-year-olds with exceptional talent from all over the country, a total of one hundred thousand individuals!] [These hundred thousand hadn''t yet awakened their professions, just ordinary people, but you would supply each person with a hundred jin of Spirit Rice annually. You wanted to conduct a widespread experiment to see just how much help this Spirit Rice could provide ordinary people.] [The remaining Spirit Rice, some you kept for your own consumption, while the rest were handed over to the Tarot Commerce Association for sale.] [You set the price of the Spirit Rice at a hundred thousand per jin, a price that was not expensive, virtually no different from giving it away.] [But you had one condition: those who bought the Spirit Rice must consume it themselves, and the buyer must have reached the limit of their current level, unable to advance before they could purchase it. Furthermore, they could only buy a maximum of twenty jin at a time.] [Despite the strict rules you had set, nearly twenty million jin of Spirit Rice was snapped up in less than a month.] [The buyers were mostly Bronze Peak professionals who had no hope of breaking through to the Silver Level.] [There were also many Silver Peak professionals, who had no hope of breaking through to Gold.] [The twenty million jin of Spirit Rice, in total, was sold to one million professionals. You instructed the Tarot Commerce Association to compile information on these people and planned to revisit them in a few months to survey the outcome, whether they had successfully advanced.] [This was a monumental project, but you had sufficient resources and official support, understanding this endeavor was for the benefit of all humanity.] sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [The first results came from that one million who bought Spirit Rice during their bottleneck periods.] [In just half a year, your subordinates had collected all one million people''s data, delivering it to your hands.] [Among them, three hundred thousand of the six hundred thousand Bronze Level professionals had broken through to the Silver Level within a month after consuming ten jin of Spirit Rice, and 295,000 had broken through within half a year...] [Taking into account the success rate of advancement, it was over 99%!] Chapter 147: Chapter 128 Another Path to Wealth, Life-Extending Elixir! (Second Update) Su Xing slightly nodded as he read, "Everything is as I expected."The Three-tailed Phoenix Grass matures, Divine Sense intensity skyrockets... Next, as long as I take these rewards with me, Divinity Transformation should be within reach! "I wonder if, with Divinity Transformation Cultivation Level plus the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, I could fight that damned Zong?" Su Xing pondered briefly and then shook his head. "The uncertainty is too great! That old dog has lived for more than two thousand years and is a dual cultivator of body and Qi, with many trump cards... I''m afraid that even if I break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, I might still not be his match..." "However, after Divinity Transformation, if I face him again, I probably won''t be in such a sorry state..." Su Xing looked forward with slight anticipation. Although Body Refinement Cultivators are somewhat stronger at the same level, it was clear to Su Xing that the many techniques of the Qi Refinement lineage were more appealing to him. Especially the various methods of Qi Refinement could earn Su Xing more energy for a greater enhancement! With this in mind, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the twenty-fourth year, your Divine Sense has finally made another leap, reaching the realm of a thousand zhang!] [As you predicted, Divine Sense of a thousand zhang is already the limit of the Nascent Soul Stage. If you wish to continue enhancing it, you must break into the Divinity Transformation Stage.] [In the twenty-fifth year, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass suddenly worsened. Under the relentless assaults of the legendary army of Demonic Beasts, it was in grave danger.] [Knowing that time was of the essence, you left everything behind and journeyed alone to the Arctic domain.] [Sure enough, in the frigid climate of the Arctic domain, the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng that you had planted before was nearing maturity.] [So, braving the harsh cold, you sat in the Spirit Gathering Array every day, using your own Spiritual Power to hasten the ripening of the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng.] [After a month of this, you finally obtained thirty mature Snow Bone Jade Ginseng plants!] Filled with joy upon seeing this, Su Xing had fulfilled his goal for this simulation. With the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng and Three-tailed Phoenix Grass, Su Xing could attempt to concoct Infant Tempering Pills, and Divinity Transformation was not far away! Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Going by the time, the apocalypse must be close..." Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [When you returned to Kyoto, you heard that Demon-Subduing Pass had fallen a month prior, and the upper echelon of the Human Race was engulfed in panic.] [Yet you remained detached, having anticipated this day. Knowing your task was completed, you peacefully enjoyed the time that followed.] [In the next three months, you resigned from all your duties and began to spend time with your family and friends...] [One day, a giant beast that blotted out the sky descended upon Blue Star, devouring the entirety of Great Xia Country in one gulp.] [In your final moments, you flipped the beast the middle finger.] [Ding, you have died!] [Your Purple Talent, ''Die Without Regrets,'' activates...] [Inside the belly of the beast, you see the surrounding mountains and seas being digested and consumed. The stomach of the creature is like a terrible black hole, devouring everything...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] Su Xing nodded slightly as he finished watching the simulation. Although he still died in the simulation, Su Xing''s plan had been achieved. "However, this ''Die Without Regrets'' seems to have brought back some information... Just the beast''s stomach alone possesses such terrifying power?" Amazed within, Su Xing grew even more aware of the terror of the Foreign Race. "Well, these matters are too distant for me. Better to focus on the immediate issues... time to select the rewards!" Su Xing shifted his attention to the rewards from this simulation. [Descendants Galore]: Purple Talent, price 1 million energy points. [Twenty-Five Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy Insights, containing some alchemy experience, price 600,000 energy. [Divine Strength Realm Third Layer]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, price 20 million energy points! [Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique Experience]: Cultivation of crops and spirits, price 1 million energy points. [Ten Three-tailed Phoenix Grasses]: Three hundred years old, mature-grade Three-tailed Phoenix Grass, price 15 million energy points. [Thirty Snow Bone Jade Ginseng Plants]: Mature Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, contains medicinal properties of breaking and reforming, price 15 million energy points. [Divine Sense Thousand Zhang (Five Senses Realm)]: Possessing a Divine Sense of a thousand zhang, able to sense the movement of the wind and grass within a thousand zhang, price 9.5 million energy points. [Dried Bone Sword (Mid-grade Treasure Artifact)]: Forged from refined human bones and condensed with countless resentful spirits, causes soul-eating damage on attack, price 30 million energy points. [Half a Yellow Springs Pill]: Experience the Yellow Springs once, taking it can induce sleep, extending lifespan. However, only half a pill is left, and there is a chance one may sleep forever. Price 500,000 energy points. [Soul-Calling Banner]: A supreme Magic Artifact, capable of summoning spirits wronged, price 8 million energy points. [Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique (Incomplete)]: A Heaven Rank secret technique, capable of predicting fortunes and misfortunes, price 70 million energy points. After seeing the rewards, Su Xing paused for a moment, as the choices from this simulation were indeed generous. Most of them were plundered from the damned Zong, pointing to his considerable wealth, but it was a pity that they were mostly incomplete and would be of no use to Su Xing. As Su Xing perused the reward options, he gave them some thought. "Talents go without saying, impossible to choose... and who knew that such a nonsensical ''Descendants Galore'' could also be rated as Purple Talent?" "As for Alchemy Experience, Cultivation Level isn''t urgent..." "Damned Zong''s Magic Artifacts and secret techniques, aside from that sword, the rest are incomplete and would be of no use even if selected... and the prices are too high!" Su Xing paused, his gaze landing on the description of the Dried Bone Sword. "It''s actually a mid-grade Treasure Artifact... priced at thirty million energy, even more expensive than the Ink Ice Sword, does this mean that the Ink Ice Sword is perhaps only at the level of a lower-grade Treasure Artifact?" As far as Su Xing knew, Cultivator''s Magic Artifacts were ranked from low to high as: Talisman Artifacts, Magic Artifacts, Treasure Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts... And above Spiritual Artifacts, were the legendary Immortal Artifacts! Chapter 148: Chapter 128 Another Path to Wealth, Life-Extending Elixir! (Second Update)_2 The grade of this bone sword is clearly not low; a lower-grade treasure, perhaps equivalent to the legendary weapons of the highest quality in the real world."However, the origins of this bone sword are too immoral; using it would go against the heavens..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, turning his attention to the other options. After some hesitation, Su Xing was torn between three reward choices. A thousand-zhang divine sense, three-tailed phoenix grass, and snow bone jade ginseng. "This snow bone jade ginseng is a must-pick. If I don''t choose it, I fear I might have to fight that damned Zong again in the next simulation, which would be a loss not worth the gain..." "As for the thousand-zhang divine sense and three-tailed phoenix grass..." After wavering for a while, Su Xing decided to choose the three-tailed phoenix grass. After all, with the snow bone jade ginseng and three-tailed phoenix grass, Su Xing would be able to concoct the Infant Tempering Pill, which was clearly more critical for him. As for the divine sense, if there was a chance in the next simulation, reaching a thousand zhang would not be difficult. Thinking this, Su Xing silently declared. "I choose to take out the snow bone jade ginseng and the three-tailed phoenix grass..." [Ding, your energy is insufficient. Please collect enough simulation energy before exchanging...] The prompt from the simulator rang in Su Xing''s ears. When Su Xing checked his remaining energy, he found he only had less than twenty-six million left, with a shortfall of four million energy! "Dammit, I didn''t expect to run out of energy so soon... Sigh, looks like I can only wait for now. After this week''s goods are delivered, it should be enough..." Su Xing suddenly felt rather frustrated. Ever since he started making money through alchemy, he had never been short of money. But now that he was about to enter the Divinity Transformation Stage, energy was becoming scarce again. Not to mention, just to bring out the Great Perfection of Divinity Transformation and Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm cultivations would require tens of millions of energy points from Su Xing... "Sigh, I still need to find a way to make money!" "The Tarot Commerce Association only provides ten million energy a week; at this rate, it will take two months to break through to the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation... This speed is too slow!" As the saying goes, cutting costs is impossible; only by increasing income can one barely maintain a decent lifestyle. "Once the mining area instance dungeon gets approved, the energy gained should be much more..." "But for now, I can only push Jin Congxue a bit more to bring over more instance dungeon items!" Su Xing sighed and sent several messages to Jin Congxue, urging her to help him gather more instance dungeon items. Then he took out the alchemy furnace and prepared to start alchemy in a rush. The life of alchemy is very monotonous and extremely taxing on the mind. Even a master alchemist, if they fail to control the subtle heat and timing, could ruin an entire batch of elixirs. However, Su Xing was already well-versed in alchemy. In just a week, Su Xing concocted six thousand pills. That day, Su Xing stored the finished elixirs properly and went out to the villa to meet Jin Congxue. Today, Jin Congxue wore a sling dress with sleepwear, with two faint dark circles around her eyes, looking as if she had not slept well. Su Xing handed over the elixirs and teased: "What''s the matter, played thief last night? Why do you look like you didn''t get a good night''s sleep?" Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and pouted: "Hmph, it''s all because of you! Didn''t you have me purchase a large number of instance dungeon items for you?" "These past few days, I''ve been to dozens of branches and over a hundred warehouses of the Jin Merchant Guild in Jiangnan Province to collect all sorts of strange instance dungeon items for you... take a look for yourself!" With that, Jin Congxue handed over several storage rings. Su Xing opened the storage rings and, sure enough, they were filled with mountains of instance dungeon items. Su Xing''s heart stirred as he checked the energy contained in these items. [Ding, detection of certain energy-containing materials, valued at 16.42 million energy points, do you wish to convert?] [Ding, detection of certain energy-containing materials, valued at 9.76 million energy points, do you wish to convert?] [Ding...] Several voices echoed in Su Xing''s mind as he calculated the totals. Well, the instance dungeon items stored in these four storage rings have a total energy close to fifty million model units! Startled, Su Xing asked: "How does Jin Merchant Guild have so many instance dungeon items?" Jin Congxue replied: "They''re sold to us by professionals! Every day, a good number of professionals come specifically to sell instance dungeon items. Over time, it naturally accumulates to quite a sum..." "Jin Merchant Guild has a wide range of business activities, and we occasionally purchase a small number of instance dungeon items, and selling them also earns us a little profit." After a pause, Jin Congxue continued: "However, the number of instance dungeon items in Jin Merchant Guild isn''t large, and they''re sparsely distributed, making them hard to find..." "If you''re interested in these items, perhaps you could contact Baili Business Association in Guang Province." Upon hearing this, Su Xing muttered in confusion, "Baili Business Association?" Jin Congxue nodded slightly and said: "Baili Business Association is located in Guang Province, the southernmost region of Great Xia Country, and is one of the top commerce associations. The young master of the association, Baili Qi, loves collecting these peculiar instance dungeon items. Over several decades, the things he has amassed could probably pile up into mountains..." Su Xing''s eyes lit up at the information. Goodness, instance dungeon items collected over several decadesif he could really obtain them, how much model unit energy would that be worth! Hastily, Su Xing asked: "How can I contact this Baili Qi? I want to acquire all his instance dungeon equipment!" Jin Congxue found this a bit difficult and replied: "Baili Qi is an eccentric character who dislikes seeing people, and besides, our Jin Merchant Guild doesn''t have that close a relationship with him..." "However, I''ve heard that recently, Baili Qi''s father, Baili Tu, seems to be nearing the end of his life and is apparently looking for life extension items produced from instances. If his life could be extended, perhaps you could exchange these items with Baili Qi..." Su Xing''s interest was piqued upon hearing this. Life extension items are extremely precious in instance dungeons, something countless top brass would kill for but rarely obtain. After all, the secretive proprietors behind these business associations, given their need to manage their businesses, probably don''t have much time to enhance their strength, and can barely make it to the Heavenly King Level with the help of various items. And for those at Heavenly King Level, their lifespan would be around three to five hundred years. To live longer, the only option would be to break into the Martial Emperor Level. "A life extension elixir, huh... I''ll figure something out. After I''ve crafted an elixir that can extend life, help me get in touch with Baili Business Association, will you?" Su Xing proposed. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Jin Congxue was taken aback upon hearing Su Xing''s confidence and exclaimed incredulously: "Can you actually craft life-extending elixirs?" Seeing Jin Congxue''s amazement, Su Xing felt puzzled but still explained: "Not sure yet, but willing to give it a try. I should have a fifty-fifty chance of success..." As far as Su Xing knew, the Li Fire Alchemy recorded no fewer than seven or eight different kinds of longevity elixirs. After all, isn''t that exactly what cultivators strive for? For cultivators to craft longevity elixirs, it''s practically right up their alley. From the ungraded body-nourishing pills to the low-grade life extension pill, longevity pill, the mid-grade Longevity Pill, and the high-grade Qingming Pill... The effects range from extending life by a year or two, to five years, ten years... and even several decades. However, longevity elixirs have a tolerance effectafter one or two pills, taking more of the same elixir becomes ineffective. Su Xing, being in the prime of his youth, naturally hadn''t considered crafting longevity elixirs before. But now, it seemed that longevity elixirs could well be the ultimate profitable product! Upon hearing Su Xing say there was a fifty percent chance, Jin Congxue was even more astounded, doubtingly saying: "Do you realize how precious life extension items are? A life extension item from an instance could be worth a legendary piece of equipment, or even rarer!" "If you announce you can craft longevity elixirs, not only would all the top forces treat you as an honored guest, but even the elderly high officials of Great Xia Country would be begging you!" Seeing Jin Congxue''s shock, Su Xing''s expression turned serious. He had initially thought only of the vast profits longevity elixirs could bring, but hadn''t considered the tremendous risk that came with them! After pondering for a moment, Su Xing said: "As for the longevity elixirs, I''m not entirely sure I can make them... so please keep this a secret, and don''t spread the word." Chapter 152: Chapter 131: Sudden Insight Triggered, Infant Tempering Pill Success! (Second Update) [As for Damned Zong''s inquiry, you kept your lips sealed.][But this only made Damned Zong more certain that you must have used the Body-Snatching Technique.] [Damned Zong proposed to exchange a technique for seeking benefits and avoiding harms in return for your Body-Snatching Technique.] [But how could you know any Body-Snatching? Thus, you continued to look at him with an icy face, remaining silent.] [Damned Zong, having no other choice, had to settle for less and expressed his willingness to trade treasures for the Life Extension Pill in your possession, he even offered to introduce you to a powerful and mysterious organization.] Su Xing was stunned for a moment when he saw this; he finally understood why Damned Zong was looking for him. So he wanted to extend his lifespan!?! "Thinking it over, Damned Zong has lived for over two thousand years, even if he spent more than a thousand years in a suspended state after taking Huang Quan Pills, he must not have many years of life left... So that''s why he thought of buying Lifespan Extension Pills?" "However, this seems to be a good opportunity to enter the Descending Sect, this way, I won''t need to drag junior sister Wang Qingxuan down with me..." Su Xing sighed softly; for Wang Qingxuan, joining the Descending Sect might not be a good thing. If Su Xing could join through other means, that would naturally be better. With that thought, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [You agreed to Damned Zong''s request, using two Life Extension Pills to trade for many precious Spiritual Medicines from him.] [Afterward, you joined the ranks of the Descending Sect with Damned Zong.] [Upon entering the Descending Sect, your formidable strength shocked all the Elders, and with Damned Zong''s recommendation, you quickly gained the trust of the higher-ups of the Descending Sect, rising to the status of an Elder-level figure just after joining.] [The Descending Sect informed you that if you perform well, you were guaranteed a promotion to Protector level, with even more benefits to come.] [But you didn''t care about any of these promises; you were only thinking about how to empty the Sect''s treasury of medicines.] [So you contacted Luo Shuying privately. Luo Shuying was initially hostile towards you because she thought you were part of Damned Zong''s faction.] [But only after you explained everything to her and spoke the secret code did Luo Shuying believe you.] [Having gained Luo Shuying''s trust, you repeated your old tricks, having Luo Shuying help you acquire the Spiritual Medicines in the treasury.] [After successfully obtaining the Spiritual Medicines, you began concocting Elixirs.] [First, you concocted Soul Condensing Pills and in just half a year, you made thousands of them. After giving a part of these to Luo Shuying, you consumed the rest to find ways to enhance your Divine Sense.] [During these six months, on the surface, you addressed Damned Zong as a brother, but in fact, you were covertly in contact with Luo Shuying, considering when would be the best time to kill the old dog.] [In the second year, thanks to the plentiful Soul Condensing Pills, the strength of your Divine Sense skyrocketed to a full two hundred zhang!] [At the same time, you began to prepare early concoctions of Essence-Nourishing Pills, Origin Martial Pills, and even Divine Strength Pills.] [In the third year, with Luo Shuying''s help, you almost emptied the treasury of its medicines. You felt the time was ripe and decided it was time to defect from the Descending Sect!] [So, you picked an auspicious day, and even had dinner with Damned Zong before you left. The next day, you and Luo Shuying defected to the Great Xia Military.] [The Great Xia Military was initially skeptical of you, given that you previously annihilated the Black Dragon Commerce Guild and then turned to join the enemy, the Descending Sect; it was hard for them to trust you.] [But when you presented them with one hundred thousand Elixirs, the Great Xia Military completely trusted you, even regarding you as a hero of the Human Race!] [Soon after, the major powers of Great Xia Country learned of your return, but they did not dare to offend you because you were now part of the high ranks of the Great Xia Military!] [In Great Xia Country, no matter how powerful a force is, it must submit to Great Xia Country, because the military, with the most formidable fighters, is the uncrowned king!] [Thus these forces sent gifts to you, offering apologies, but you were hardly interested.] [At the same time, when the Descending Sect learned of your and Luo Shuying''s defection, they immediately issued a bounty, wanting to mobilize the Sect''s entire force to kill you.] [And Protector Zong, since he had recommended you, was implicated, lost trust, and was also pursued by the Descending Sect.] Su Xing laughed when he saw this. "Well, that''s a surprise, I managed to trick Damned Zong before leaving!" "Tsk tsk, it looks like in the future Damned Zong could introduce me into the Descending Sect... This deal was worth it!" Su Xing thought slyly, his gaze returning to the simulation panel. [Afterward, you focused on concocting Elixirs. In two years, you had made tens of thousands of them, including batches of Origin Martial Pills, and even Divine Strength Pills!] [You added tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level, hundreds of Heavenly King, and even dozens of Martial Emperor Level powerhouses to Great Xia Country!] [Suddenly, all forces trembled with fear, worried you might seek revenge, and the Great Xia Military attached great importance to you, took care of your emotions, and nearly fulfilled all your requests.] [In the fifth year, besides concocting pills, you spent your days cultivating and enhancing your Divine Sense.] [That year, your Divine Sense expanded to five hundred zhang, already equivalent to the peak range of an ordinary Nascent Soul''s Divine Sense!] [In the sixth year, you ordered your subordinates to gather precious spiritual medicine from the Great Xia treasury.] [You used these medicines to refine many elixirs, which enhanced the strength of Great Xia Country. Meanwhile, another stick of Condensing Spirit Wood also came into your possession, and you used it to make many Soul Condensing Pills.] [In the seventh year, after exhausting most of your medicinal materials, you were finally able to focus on attempting to refine the Infant Tempering Pill!] [The refining of the Infant Tempering Pill was not difficult; it was even simpler than the Divine Strength Pill among the mid-grade elixirs.] Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [The only headache was the limited amount of medicinal materials you had at your disposal: ten Phoenix Tail Grasses and thirty Snow Bone Ginsengs. Even with careful planning, you could at most only refine fifty batches of the Infant Tempering Pill.] [In other words, you must learn the Infant Tempering Pill within these fifty batches!] [This undoubtedly placed a great deal of pressure on you, so you began to endlessly simulate the refining process in your mind, ensuring that no mistakes were made, before you finally started the actual refining process.] [You spent a day refining the first batch of Infant Tempering Pills, and unsurprisingly, you failed.] [After the failure, instead of immediately trying again, you spent three days contemplating the details of the process.] [Only after determining that you had gained some insights did you attempt to refine the next batch of Infant Tempering Pills.] [In one month, you refined seven batches, and unquestionably, all seven failed, amounting to nothing but waste.] [But you maintained your composure, knowing that mastering mid-grade elixirs would not come easily. Since each attempt was an improvement, you steadied your emotions and continued refining.] [In the second month, you refined five batches of Infant Tempering Pills, all failures!] [In the third month, you refined seven batches of Infant Tempering Pills, and as expected, all failed!] [In the following months, besides cultivating, you fixed a schedule to refine elixirs. Despite never having succeeded, your understanding of the Infant Tempering Pill rapidly improved.] [Finally, thanks to your innate talent in alchemy, one day you successfully refined three Infant Tempering Pills, and your skills in refining them reached the introductory level!] Su Xing let out a sigh of relief, knowing that once he reached the introductory level, the rest would be manageable.] [This means that learning the Infant Tempering Pill wouldn''t be difficult; if not on the first try, then with two or three simulations, you would certainly learn it.] [Thinking this, Su Xing turned to the simulation panel.] [Unexpectedly, the next simulations brought Su Xing a pleasant surprise!] [After entering the introductory stage of refining the Infant Tempering Pill, you still had half of your materials left. Hence, you would refine a batch every now and then, hoping to further improve your proficiency.] [One day, while refining the Infant Tempering Pill, a sudden epiphany caused time to seemingly slow down, and your mind was flooded with endless inspiration. You triggered a state of enlightenment!] [Upon realizing this, you became ecstatic and took advantage of the state of enlightenment to crazily improve your proficiency in refining the Infant Tempering Pill.] [Unfortunately, the enlightenment state did not last long, only a single day.] [Nevertheless, your proficiency in refining the Infant Tempering Pill progressed rapidly, reaching an accomplished level, and you were even a step away from the Mahayana level!] [You looked at the several shiny Infant Tempering Pills before you, feeling an urge to take them to condense a perfect Nascent Soul.] [However, you resisted. Although successful, these pills were of ordinary quality, not the finest. You decided to hold back, waiting to refine the finest Infant Tempering Pill before using it to advance.] Su Xing was somewhat excited.] "Well now, triggered a random enlightenment just like that?" "Damn, that''s some good luck! Only one simulation in and my alchemy skills for the Infant Tempering Pill are nearly at the Mahayana level."] Su Xing originally thought that it would take at least two or three simulations to master the Infant Tempering Pill. But judging by the current situation, perhaps in the next simulation, he would be able to refine the finest Infant Tempering Pill and attempt to condense a perfect Nascent Soul!] "Tsk tsk, it seems like for this simulation, I should focus on alchemy skills. If that''s the case, why not learn a few more low-level elixirs..."] [With a plan in mind, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the simulation panel.] [After experiencing the epiphany with the Infant Tempering Pill, you knew that refining elixirs was your main task going forward.] [So you dedicated every day to enhancing your alchemy skills.] [In the same year, your Divine Sense expanded to a range of six hundred zhang!] [In the eighth year, you improved your refining skills for the Illuminating Mirror Pill substantially, advancing to the Mahayana level.] [That year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through, and you became a dual-layer Divine Strength Realm cultivator.] [In the ninth year, Jin Congxue helped you gather numerous millenary medicinal herbs, so you decided to work on improving your Life Extension Pill techniques.] [You took a year to advance your Life Extension Pill techniques to the Mahayana level, capable of refining the finest-quality Life Extension Pills.] [The effect of the finest-quality Life Extension Pill was double that of normal ones, able to extend life by six years, its efficacy almost reaching that of the Lifespan Extension Pill!] [In the tenth year, your Divine Sense strength further increased, with a range reaching eight hundred zhang!] Chapter 154: Chapter 133: New Talent, Seek Good Fortune and Avoid Disaster! (First Update) "Moreover, among the cultivators of Blue Star, I am the only one, which means those professionals simply cannot detect my Divine Sense probing. This makes the practicality of Divine Sense even more outstanding!"Su Xing even extended Divine Sense into the principal''s office, and the principal of Kyoto Academy, a Legendary Level professional, was unable to sense the Divine Sense. This fact shows how covert Divine Sense is. He carefully felt out the new power he had obtained. After confirming that there was no one around, Su Xing released Divine Sense again and re-entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land. Once inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing began his daily alchemy life. "Ah, the future is bright! Besides making money through alchemy right now, there''s an endless future of making money through alchemy!" Su Xing sighed. "Well, it''s the beginning of starting a business, and it''s okay to endure some hardship, as it''s all for the sake of striving later!" For the following week, Su Xing still spent his time in a frenzy of alchemy. In one week, he once again produced six thousand elixirs! Su Xing took the newly produced elixirs and prepared to go out to find Jin Congxue. "Right, at this distance, my Divine Sense should be able to reach there, right?" Su Xing stood at the school gate and sent his Divine Sense toward the villa he often visited. The villa was only about three kilometers away from Kyoto Academy. Su Xing easily saw all the movements of everyone in the villa. "Hmm, the butler and the chef are preparing lunch..." "Eh, what''s Jin Congxue doing?" Within Su Xing''s sense, Jin Congxue seemed to be in the bathroom getting ready to take a bath, her cheeks red and she appeared to be somewhat nervous. Her fair skin, her long legs... "Cough cough, no peeping, no peeping!" Su Xing quickly withdrew his Divine Sense, deep in thought. "Tsk tsk, does she need to be so nervous? We see each other almost every week; why is she still so excited?" Su Xing thought about how he looked when he went to her villa, often working on alchemy for a week straight; to say he was disheveled might be an understatement, but he definitely looked unkempt. Yet, it seemed that Jin Congxue looked forward to their meetings each time and had made an effort to dress up specially. "Alas, the favor of beauty is the hardest to repay!" Su Xing sighed. He would have loved nothing more than to be a quietly handsome man, engaging in a sweet romance. But knowing the apocalypse was coming, how could Su Xing have any reason not to work hard? Soon, Su Xing arrived at the villa. Jin Congxue had finished her shower and changed her clothes by then, her face slightly made up, her graceful figure and gorgeous temperament causing Su Xing a stir. "Pshaw, you little pervert, where are you looking?" Jin Congxue snorted with a blush on her face. "Cough cough, let''s eat, eat!" Su Xing quickly changed the subject, devouring his meal. After satisfying his hunger, Su Xing sat back contentedly in his chair, took out the elixirs he had made that week, and handed them to Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue took the elixirs and handed over a storage ring to Su Xing, saying, Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Because of the large quantity of Nourishing Face Pills recently, the market has become somewhat saturated, so the price of the elixirs has dropped slightly..." "But you know, with ample financial support, Tarot Commerce Association has new business expansions every week." "Here, this is this week''s goods!" Su Xing took the storage ring Jin Congxue passed him and scanned it with Divine Sense. Goodness, there was fifty percent more goods than before! Testing the contained energy with the simulator showed that this week''s goods were close to 15 million energy points! "Hisss~ Indeed, just selling elixirs to make money has no future! It''s better to run a commerce association to make money by getting people to work on equipment, and items; that is the way to sustainability!" Su Xing thought to himself. Seeing the surprise in Su Xing''s eyes, Jin Congxue chuckled, "I didn''t expect the Tarot Society to have such huge potential for development. It is almost stepping into the ranks of first-class commerce associations... We''ve been especially lucky recently, striking a few big deals!" Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this, thinking to himself that this must be an enhancement from his good fortune talent. Jin Congxue then reported to Su Xing on the development of the Tarot Society. "Now, we''ve nearly thirty thousand bronze and silver-level fighters at our disposal. We''re getting no less than a million white-quality equipment every week, plus with the purchasing..." "The recovery situation for Instance Dungeon Items is also good, since we offer about ten percent more than the average market price..." "The signing for instance dungeon mining areas is still ongoing, but in two or three months at the earliest, they can be officially put into production." "As for the thousand-year ginseng and other ingredients you requested last time... they are still being collected, such items are not easy to obtain!" Su Xing yawned nonchalantly, uninterested in these business matters, as long as he could get energy every week. Jin Congxue noticed Su Xing''s indifferent attitude and muttered, "Are you even listening? You have no clue about the commerce association''s affairs. You could be sold off without knowing it!" Su Xing chuckled in response, wheedling, "How could that be? Isn''t that because I trust you? All the business stuff is up to you. Even if you line your own pockets, as long as you''re happy, that''s all that matters!" Jin Congxue felt touched again by Su Xing''s serious look and his trust in her. After chatting some more, Su Xing returned to the school and entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance. Exchanging the new week''s goods for energy, Su Xing''s energy pool once again neared 45 million points! On the afternoon of May 20, 2024, Su Xing promptly initiated the thirty-seventh simulation. "Begin simulation!" Chapter 155: Chapter 133: New Talent, Seek Good Fortune and Avoid Disaster! (Second Update) [Ding! This simulation used up 3,700 energy points, 44.98 million points remaining, with unlimited simulation attempts left.][Simulation begins!] [Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Would you like to draw?] "Draw the purple talent!" Su Xing said boldly, for him now, 100,000 energy points were just pocket change. [Congratulations on obtaining the purple talent: Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune!] "Hmm? Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune... This talent seems quite interesting!" Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the description of the talent. [Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune]: Purple Talent, you have an inherent fate protection that keeps misfortune at bay. When encounter unlucky events, you often manage to turn danger into safety. Description: An airplane crashes from tens of thousands of meters in the air, but you miss the flight due to a traffic jam; A massive ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean, yet you get picked up early by a rescue boat because of seasickness-induced diarrhea. Su Xing thoughtfully considered the "Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune" talent in front of him. His first thought was that this thing seemed to be a perfect match with the previously obtained talent "I Can''t Be the Only Unlucky One!" "Goodness, ''I Can''t Be the Only Unlucky One'' is like a nuclear weapon that ignores friends and foes, strong but with too many side effects... But this Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune seems to resolve that!" Su Xing''s eyes lit up as if he had discovered a combo between talents! Entering the Descending Sect alone, he made the entire sect extinct without anyone noticing, and he left unscathed... "Sss, this looks very promising!" Su Xing was very interested in this Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune talent. "But to see how effective this talent really is, I''ll have to check future simulations..." His gaze turned towards the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You attempt to use your Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune talent, but since your luck has always been good and you haven''t encountered any misfortunes, it can''t be displayed.] [So you deliberately go to a herb shop and buy two catties of arsenic, gulping it down.] [With your Divine Strength Realm physique, the arsenic has no effect on you whatsoever.] [However, weirdly, after drinking a catty of arsenic, you end up with diarrhea. So you confront the shop owner with the arsenic.] [Just then, the market management bureau happens to pass by, they verify the arsenic is actually expired, and the shop owner has to compensate you with half a million.] Su Xing chuckled when he saw this, exclaiming in surprise: "Is this Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune talent truly divine?" "If I were an ordinary person, eating this arsenic would mean I wouldn''t die but just get diarrhea and make half a million?" Su Xing continued to test with laughter. [You go to the bank to withdraw money and run into robbers, but the robbers forget to load bullets in their guns, and you subdue them with one move, earning the "Good Citizen of the City" award!] [You go swimming in the river and get bitten by a harmless snake, which is identified by the biological association as a species extinct for two thousand years, earning you a substantial monetary reward.] [You jump off a high-rise building...] After several attempts, Su Xing finally confirmed. The talent does not activate under normal circumstances, only triggering in dangerous situations or when luck is not on his side, helping Su Xing turn danger into safety. Consecutive brushes with death, yet Su Xing suffers no losses; on the contrary, he gains several rewards. "Tsk tsk, it seems this talent really does make a perfect match with ''I Can''t Be the Only Unlucky One''!" Su Xing muttered to himself, ready to start the normal simulation. [After testing the new talent, you are very satisfied and begin your routine alchemy.] [A month later, Jin Congxue handed over the collected medicinal ingredients to you, and you used them to refine five top-quality Life Extension Pills.] [For safety''s sake, this time you did not publicly seek out the Baili Business Association.] [After learning the location of the Baili Business Association, you took a Disguise Pill and a Breath-Concealing Pill to ensure your true identity would not be exposed, then headed to Guang Province.] [On a dark and windy night, you entered the Baili family''s courtyard alone and snuck into Baili Tu''s room to propose a trade.] [Baili Qi, seeing your disguise and the astonishingly terrifying aura you emitted, could only try to stabilize you first and asked what trade you wanted to make.] [You took out a top-quality Life Extension Pill and told him it could extend his life by five years, and in exchange, you needed the Instance Dungeon Items from Baili Qi''s collection!] [When Baili Tu saw the Life Extension Pill in your hand, a look of longing flashed in his eyes, but not knowing your identity, he dared not act rashly and could only agree temporarily.] [Unexpectedly, the guards and retainers of the Baili family all rushed over, among them a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse.] [Seeing this, you snorted coldly, and took on the Martial Emperor by yourself, not at a disadvantage.] [After pushing back the Martial Emperor, you stated that if the old master was unwilling to make the trade, you would leave right then.] [Seeing this, Baili Tu grew anxious, as the Life Extension Pill you held was the very thing he longed for.] [Eventually, you met with Baili Qi and traded the pill with him, and after some haggling, you exchanged one top-quality Life Extension Pill for half of Baili Qi''s "treasures".] [After leaving the Baili household, you sneaked away in various disguises and stayed in the Spirit Field Blessed Land for several days, making sure you had shaken off anyone following you before returning to Kyoto.] [Who would have thought that half a month later, your identity would still be discovered, and after the Baili family conducted an investigation, they personally came to you seeking more Life Extension Pills.] Su Xing frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Isn''t trading under a concealed identity supposed to be safe? Where did it go wrong?" Su Xing was puzzled. With the Disguise Pill plus the Breath-Concealing Pill, and being as careful as he was, he should not have been discovered... "Could it be, there''s something wrong with those Instance Dungeon Items?" Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing''s thoughts shifted, and his gaze turned to the simulation panel. [You carefully checked the batch of Instance Dungeon Items, but there were too many, and you simply didn''t have the time to inspect each one.] [So you directly asked Baili Qi how he discovered your identity. Baili Qi apologized to you and gave you another batch of items, telling you that he had hidden a location-tracking item among the Instance Dungeon Items, thus learning your identity and location.] [Feeling somewhat helpless, you harbored some resentment towards the Baili Business Association, but considering the compensation, you did not say much more.] [In the following months, your identity was exposed again and spread to various powers within the Great Xia Country.] [Countless people came flocking to you, offering vast sums of money for your Life Extension Pills, undeniably bringing you quite a bit of trouble.] [You could only manage the situation temporarily until one day, Damned Zong found you.] [He still believed that you were a cultivator who had come from some Instance Dungeon, and that you had taken over your own body.] [You did not bother to explain further, and made a deal with him, exchanging two Life Extension Pills for a considerable amount of precious Spiritual Medicine, and you successfully joined the Descending Sect.] [Afterward, you and Damned Zong became brothers on the surface, to outsiders your relationship seemed very tight, but both of you had your own schemes.] [A few days later, you got in touch with Luo Shuying, and after some conversation, you gained her trust.] [Luo Shuying helped you obtain a large amount of medicinal ingredients, and you started to concoct elixirs.] [In just a few months, you refined thousands of Soul Condensing Pills, as well as many Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills.] [You tried taking Soul Condensing Pills to see if your Divine Sense could continue to grow, but it had hit a bottleneck, and you saw no increase for several months.] [Having no choice, you devoted all your energy to refining the Infant Tempering Pills.] [Every day you studied the Infant Tempering Pills, and as you continued to refine them, your Alchemy Skills became increasingly refined.] [After several months of effort, your skills in refining Infant Tempering Pills finally broke through to the Mahayana Level!] [Later, it took you another two weeks to concoct ten top-quality Infant Tempering Pills, and you were officially ready for your perfect Nascent Soul breakthrough!] [You chose an auspicious day, and after making sure there would be no disturbances, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [After swallowing two Mind Clarity Pills and adjusting your state of mind to a selfless realm, you were ready for the breakthrough!] Chapter 157: Chapter 135: The Fear Barrier, The Terror in Su Xings Heart? "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could I be such a shameless person?"Su Xing saw his simulated self living a carefree life, and it made him so frustrated that his teeth itched. "Well done, is this how you undergo worldly experience? It seems like you''ve learned your lesson!" Su Xing wished he could directly initiate the immersive simulation and replace it with his body. "Well, let''s see just how effective this worldly experience is, shall we?" After hesitating for a while, Su Xing still looked toward the simulation panel. [After entangling with Luo Shuying for several months, your waist strength -3, resistance to beauties +10.] [But you still feel unsure, so you went to see Wang Qingxuan again...] Su Xing: "..." [After such repetitious training for a year, you believe that your resistance to lust is sufficient, so you begin to prepare for a closed-door training to sever the ties of lust!] [You took two Mind-Clarifying Pills, sat cross-legged before a thatched cottage, and united your thoughts with your Nascent Soul, allowing your spirit to slowly sink into it.] [Soon, your consciousness slowly drifted away, and when you woke up again, you found yourself on Earth in your previous life.] [It all seemed like a dream. In this life, you were a playboy, basked in the charms of beauty every day, and moved among various women as easily as a fish swimming in water.] [You squandered your time, indulging in wine and pleasure without a second thought.] [And so, ten years passed.] [One day, as you were about to break up with a girlfriend you''ve been with for two weeks, you suddenly realized she looked familiar. In a sudden flash of insight, you remembered everything...] [Because the girlfriend in front of you looked exactly like Jin Congxue.] [Memories flooded your mind like a tide, and you quickly realized you were in a simulation, undergoing the lust challenge among the five trials!] [When you realized all this, you successfully walked out of the illusion and returned to the real world.] [When you came back to the real world, you found that a whole month had passed.] [But the ten years of memories in that illusion, as if truly lived through, were etched in your mind, enhancing your mental state.] [Congratulations on successfully overcoming one of the five challenges of Divinity Transformation, the Lust Challenge!] Su Xing''s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion as he read this. "Is that it? One of the five challenges of Divinity Transformation, the Lust Challenge, doesn''t seem that difficult!" "And... what exactly is the key to breaking through? Is it realizing that I''m in a simulation?" Su Xing''s eyes held some doubt. With just the simple simulation text, it was hard for Su Xing to imagine what he had gone through in the Lust Challenge. "But... it''s good to get through it. If the first test was passed so effortlessly, then the remaining ones shouldn''t be difficult either, right?" "Strange, why is the difficulty different from what''s described in the ancient books? Could it be... I''m a genius?" Su Xing felt excited for a moment and looked toward the simulation panel. The second of the five challenges is the Fear Challenge! "So, what is my greatest fear?" Su Xing seemed lost in thought. "After passing through the Passion Trial, although you spent ten years in the illusory realm, only one month has actually passed in the real world." "During this month, there has been no change in the real world; everything outside remains as it was." "You start preparing for the upcoming second trial, the Fear Trial, but after much contemplation, you couldn''t think of anything you are particularly afraid of, so you decide to begin the trial of the Fear Trial." "In the seventh year, you chose an auspicious day, united your thoughts, and initiated the Fear Trial." "The Fear Trial, unlike the previous Passion Trial, brought you into a void, where you could not sense the passage of time or even feel your own existence... " "When you awoke again, you found yourself back in the real world, apparently having successfully breached the Fear Trial." "Everything was the same as before." "Thus, over the next year, you continuously broke through three barriers and entered the Divinity Transformation Stage!" "After stepping into Divinity Transformation, you were like a fish in water, effortlessly slaying Damned Zong and claiming his legacy." "Having absorbed this legacy, your strength greatly increased and in just ten short years, you reached the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage!" "Subsequently, you entered the Demon-Subduing Pass where, with your formidable strength, you continued to slay members of the Demon Race and even vanquished Legendary Demon Beasts, gaining a large amount of Flesh Essence." "In just five years, you brought your Body Refinement Cultivation Level to the completion of the Divine Strength Realm!" "Following this, it seemed as if the heavens favored you, the Son of Destiny." "You accidentally received news that the Great Xia Country had discovered a mysterious Cultivation instance, so you entered to explore the Cultivation instance." "Half a year later, you emerged from the instance, having gained greatly from it, with countless Spirit Stones and Cultivation Techniques, and in just a few years, you made another breakthrough, entering the Return to Void Realm!" "It all seemed to be progressing towards the better... " "After breaking into the Return to Void Realm, in pursuit of the path to higher realms, you activated the Qingyun Sect Token and entered the world where your master, Qing Yunzi, resided." "Qing Yunzi took a great liking to you, you received his inheritance, and in less than ten years, you broke through again, becoming an Integration Phase great power Cultivator!" "After breaking into the Integration Phase, you returned to the real world, where the Human Race was facing an existential crisis, but you took action!" "You supported the faltering Great Xia, single-handedly defeating countless Foreign Races at Demon-Subduing Pass." "Alone, you extended the destiny of the Human Race for a hundred years, where the world seemed to return to peace and Demonic Beasts became but legends among professionals." "And within this hundred years, you successfully broke into the Mahayana Realm, ultimately achieving Immortality." "Just when you were full of pride, the entire sky darkened, and a gigantic beast that blotted out the sun appeared before you, countless demons crawling out of the Abyss." "It seemed the Foreign Race had never left; they were merely waiting silently for an opportunity." "However, you held them in contempt, for now, as an Immortal, you regarded yourself as invincible in the world." "But no matter how you wielded your Divine Skills and Mana, you still couldn''t harm a single hair of the beast before you... " "You were utterly afraid; could it be that even as an Immortal, you cannot drive out the Foreign Race?" "Suddenly, a thought came to your mind: when you realize that no amount of effort can bring change, will you still hold on?" "You chose to give up, and fear engulfed you..." "The beast swallowed you whole, and consumed with intense fear, you died within the belly of the beast..." "You died!" [Ding, your Primordial Spirit has dissipated due to failing to sever the fear, and the simulation has ended!] Su Xing was stunned for a moment. "What the hell? So everything that just happened... was all in an illusion?" "My greatest fear... comes from this?" Su Xing slightly frowned. He had realized something was amiss halfway through the simulation. Everything had been going too smoothly until the simulation ended, and only then did Su Xing come to an epiphany. "I was wondering... if becoming an Immortal directly through a simulation wasn''t too hasty a conclusion..." "So everything was fake! I was merely trapped in the illusion of the fear trial, and everything that followed was shaped by my deepest fears and imaginings?" Su Xing was slightly shocked; without experiencing the fear trial firsthand, he couldn''t imagine how all this happened. "So, is it about realizing that I am in an environment and then dispelling the delusions in my heart, facing them head-on, to successfully pass the test?" After two simulations, Su Xing realized the key to breaking through. He then looked at the rewards for this simulation. [Profit-Seeking Avoidance]: Purple Talent, priced at one million points of energy. [Six Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including some Infant Tempering Elixirs (Mahayana Level), priced at one million points of energy. [Half-step Divinity Transformation (Fear Trial)]: Cultivation level and mindset insights, upon purchase you will directly sever the desire trial and obtain the memories and experience of passing through the fear trial, priced at three million points of energy. Su Xing lightly frowned because of the failure to break through; the reward choices left for him this time were somewhat few. "Tsk, just three rewards, saves me the trouble of choosing!" Su Xing silently thought to himself. "I choose the Purple Talent Profit-Seeking Avoidance and the half-step Divinity Transformation cultivation level!" [Ding, it''s detected that your talent column is full, you can spend one million energy points to expand to a third additional talent slot, would you like to expand?] "One million? Sure enough, it''s increased tenfold... but I can afford this amount of energy!" Su Xing silently thought: "Expand the additional talent slot!" Then, a prompt was heard by his ear. [Ding, congratulations on successfully expanding an additional talent slot, cost one million energy points, remaining energy points 43.88 million.] [You have successfully taken out the talent Profit-Seeking Avoidance, cost one million points of energy, remaining energy points 42.88 million.] [You have successfully taken out the half-step Divinity Transformation (Fear Trial) cultivation level, cost three million points of energy, remaining energy points 39.88 million.] Once the simulator''s notification sounds ended, two streams of energy surged into Su Xing''s body. Immediately after, his body underwent subtle changes; his grasp over nature''s spiritual energy around him seemed even more effortless, with a simple inhale and exhale, he could mobilize a vast amount of spiritual energy. Not only that! This was Su Xing''s most unique breakthrough! Because apart from the advancement of his cultivation level, many memories also flooded into Su Xing''s mind. It was everything he had seen while breaking through the desire and fear trials! Su Xing closed his eyes to recuperate, beginning to assimilate the memories in his mind. In the first memory, Su Xing, who had initially lingered among the playboys in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, experienced every scene from those ten years as if he had lived through them himself. In the end, Su Xing saw through the illusion and achieved an elevation in his mindset. As he watched everything in the memory, Su Xing indeed indulged his eyes. However, the second segment of memories was not as pleasant. In this memory, Su Xing initially swept through everything as if he were the Son of Destiny, achieving Immortality. But even after making his utmost effort, he still failed, and the feeling of powerlessness and fear made Su Xing empathize deeply. Su Xing had his eyes closed for a long time before opening them again, with two teardrops sliding down the corners of his eyes. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Only after personally experiencing the fear trial did he realize how terrifying it was to confront one''s innermost fears. Just like someone afraid of snakes waking up to find themselves in a nest of snakes, surrounded by venomous serpents and pythons, feeling so helpless and terrified... After a while, Su Xing''s voice carried a touch of vicissitude: "So this is what the five trials of Divinity Transformation are like... facing the most real part of oneself squarely through the illusion, to break through the true self and strive for Divinity Transformation..." Su Xing felt somewhat fortunate; without his simulator, trying to pass the five trials would have been like using a cheat code, otherwise, passing the five trials of Divinity Transformation would have likely been incredibly difficult. "No wonder so many talents in the Cultivation World fell at the hands of these five Divinity Transformation trials, with the ones who had the potential for a perfect Nascent Soul Integration if a hundred existed, ninety-nine would probably be unable to pass..." "And once failed, only death awaited!" "Fortunately, I have the simulator, which allows me to simulate and restart over and over. Passing these five Divinity Transformation trials is just a matter of time for me!" For Su Xing, after digesting these insights. He had not only gained the confidence to break through the fear trial but felt even more certain about the next three trials! "I''ll strive to break through more barriers in the next simulation and enter the Divinity Transformation Stage sooner!" Su Xing clenched his fists, filled with motivation. Afterward, as usual, following the simulation, Su Xing proceeded to make elixirs. In one week, six thousand elixirs were successfully crafted! Later, Su Xing made a trip to the villa, Jin Congxue was away on business this week, so after Su Xing collected the new week''s goods, he entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land again. The energy value of this batch of goods was still around fifteen million. "Tsk, a weekly income of fifteen million energy, it feels quite nice indeed!" A slight smile curled at the corners of Su Xing''s mouth. On May 27, 2024, Su Xing punctually began his thirty-eighth simulation. "This time, I will definitely break through the fear trial!" After assimilating the insights from the previous simulation, Su Xing was filled with confidence as he looked at the simulation panel. "Begin simulation!" Chapter 158: Chapter 136 Talent, Am I Passerby A? (5000-word Mega Chapter) ```[Ding! This simulation has consumed 3,800 energy points, leaving 55,780,000 energy points remaining. There are unlimited simulations remaining.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Would you like to draw?] "Draw the purple talent!" Su Xing muttered to himself. [Congratulations, you have acquired the Purple Talent: I Am Passerby A!] Su Xing was momentarily stunned by the name of this talent. "I Am Passerby A? What kind of talent is this, why is the name so strange?" He looked toward the simulation panel. [I Am Passerby A]: Your presence is extremely low, like a passerby A in the corner of a comic strip, even your closest acquaintances or enemies tend to overlook your existence. Note: After acquiring this talent, please do not jaywalk carelessly, as the drivers may very likely not notice you.] Su Xing instantly understood after seeing the description of the talent. This is another conceptual talent! If being the brightest kid in the crowd is a talent that can grab anyone''s attention, then this Passerby A Talent, on the contrary, reduces one''s presence to an extreme low. "This seems to be a pretty good infiltration talent!" Su Xing stroked his chin, thoughtfully. "However, the specific effects still need to be simulated." He looked toward the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [Your Spirit Chickens are so hungry they continually cluck, and you helplessly took a handful of Spirit Rice to feed them, but the chickens acted as if they couldn''t see you at all and kept clucking.] [In frustration, you stewed two big pots of chicken soup.] [After eating and drinking to your fill, you began your routine of crafting elixirs.] [A week later, you took the elixirs to Jin Congxue.] [However, Jin Congxue wasn''t at the villa. You called to ask if something had happened, to which Jin Congxue said she''d forgotten about meeting this week and hurried over.] [In the following period, you were absorbed in alchemy every day and seldom went out.] [Because going out made no difference to youit felt the same as not going out.] [When you went to the noodle house, the proprietress would always forget to serve you a bowl; when you went shopping at the supermarket, you would always be cut in line at checkout since the person simply didn''t notice you.] [You even brazenly took a drink from a convenience store, and not even the cashier noticed you while leaving.] Su Xing''s eyes brightened at this. "It seems this Passerby A Talent is quite strong! Though the side effects are obvious... at certain times, it may have unexpected effects!" Su Xing continued the simulation. [As months passed, you prepared to wait for Wang Qingxuan to invite you into the Descending Sect.] [But after waiting a long time, Wang Qingxuan never contacted you. So you inquired about her only to discover that she had dropped out of school.] [You knew that Wang Qingxuan must have joined the Descending Sect and forgotten to tell you because you possess the Passerby A Talent.] [Out of necessity, you had to secretly find out the whereabouts of the Descending Sect on your own.] [With memory clues and inquiries here and there, you vaguely ascertained the approximate location of the Descending Sect.] [You decided to venture alone, offering yourself to join the Descending Sect.] [In the next year, it took you nearly half a year to finally pinpoint the position of the Descending Sect''s lair and enter it.] [When you entered, the Descending Sect''s Elders and protectors were in a meeting, but like a ghost, you swaggered into the conference room completely unnoticed by any guards.] [You coughed loudly several times while watching the Elders and protectors, until three faction leaders finally took notice of you.] [Immediately they were shocked and questioned when you had infiltrated the conference room. The Elders and protectors surrounded you.] [You quickly explained your desire to join the Descending Sect, showing a glimpse of your abilities.] [Unexpectedly, the higher-ups became even more cautious, suspecting you had nefarious intentions.] [After much negotiation and tremendous effort, you managed to gain their shaky trust and join the Descending Sect.] [But because of your unclear background, the high ranks of the Descending Sect still didn''t trust you.] Su Xing was suddenly at a loss for words. "Goodness, this is Passerby A, not invisibility!" "Is the presence of Passerby A really this low? That''s simply too outrageous..." "Sigh, the talent is strong, for sure, but the side effects are too pronounced.

"However, I could retain it in the talent pool until a critical moment, when it might come in handy!" Su Xing thought reflectively. [After entering the Descending Sect, with no one''s trust gained, you decide to stabilize the situation for a while.] [In the subsequent months, you conscientiously completed tasks and behaved well, gradually earning the Descending Sect''s trust.] [Once settled, you then found an opportunity to connect with Luo Shuying, and successfully gained her trust, accessing a large quantity of herbs.] [You began crafting elixirs on a daily basis, and in just two years, you amassed a large stockpile of elixirs.] [In the third year, before leaving, you and Luo Shuying sneaked into the Descending Sect''s treasury once.] [Thanks to the "I Am Passerby A" Talent, the Dragon Protector guarding the treasury didn''t even notice you, allowing you to effortlessly clear out half of the Descending Sect''s treasury, obtaining a plethora of Spiritual Medicine and many special items.] ``` Chapter 159: Chapter 136 Talent, Am I Passerby A? (5000-word Mega Chapter)_2 [After defecting from the Descending Sect, you and Luo Shuying joined the Great Xia Military, and soon after, the Descending Sect issued a kill order against you.][But you didn''t care, you began preparing to challenge the fear trial within the five trials of Divinity Transformation again!] [In the illusionary realm, you still became a character akin to a Son of Destiny, your strength soared, and you ultimately became an Immortal.] [Afterward, when the behemoth attacked, facing the terror of a gigantic beast that blotted out the sky, along with the endless demons that had crawled out of the Abyss, you were still unable to defeat them.] [But you never gave up, this time, you chose to confront your fear head on!] [You kept challenging stronger opponents, and like facing a mountain abyss, you bravely fought to the very end!] [You successfully conquered the fear trial and walked out of the illusion!] Seeing this, Su Xing''s lips slightly curved upward. "Indeed, with the previous simulation experience, this time it was completely different! To break through the fear trial... One must slay their fears?" Su Xing pondered. "In that case, the remaining trials of Greed, Pride, Wrath should correspond to greed, pride, and anger!" Su Xing understood the pattern of breaking through the five trials and felt more confident in his heart. "However, before attempting the five trials, perhaps some preparation is indeed in order..." A plan began to form in Su Xing''s mind as he looked towards the simulation panel. [After breaking through the fear trial, your state of mind improved further! Facing fear, you had the courage to fight with all your might, even if it meant death or the destruction of your path, you would have no regrets!] [Returning to the real world, you took some time to recuperate.] [During this period, because of the elixirs you concocted, Great Xia Country saw an increasing number of strong individuals.] [Your status rose with the tide, elevating you to the top echelons of Great Xia Country.] [Under these circumstances, the Tarot Society leapt to become a top-tier merchant association.] [In a short time, wealth, treasures, beauty, and countless honors were all within easy reach for you!] [This time, you chose not to stay low-key; you told all the citizens of Great Xia Country that you were about to usher in a golden age for professionals!] [At the same time, you also announced your plan: you would plant a batch of precious Spirit Rice. With this batch of Spirit Rice, the strength of all human professionals would rise a level!] [Instantly, every professional in Great Xia Country was in an uproar, and you became the hero of the nation!] [In the fourth year, as you had promised, you began planting Spirit Rice. With the help of this crop, the number of low-level professionals in Great Xia Country increased by several hundred thousand within just one year.] [This bolstered your power and prestige, allowing you to gain everything you wanted.] [In order to better pass the trial of greed, you decided to release the evil thoughts within your heart.] [You began crazily amassing all the treasures you desired and, under the weight of your wealth, countless treasures were brought into your possession.] [You built a palace for yourself, where fist-sized gems and pearls were strewn carelessly on the floor.] [On the splendid golden walls hung various weaponsswords, spears, rods, and axesnot as decorations but as genuine legendary weapons!] [Every day, countless people came to visit you, hoping to forge good relations and acquire a precious Life Extension Pill from you, offering valuable gifts in return.] [You accepted them all; the treasure in your vault grew more abundant, and you amassed wealth and power maniacally.] [In the fifth year, in just a year''s time, you became the wealthiest man in Great Xia Country.] [With endless power and wealth, you grew increasingly arrogant, looking down upon ordinary merchant associations and thus began covertly employing tactics to swallow them up, gradually enlarging the Tarot Society.] [Your wealth continued to increase day by day, as did your greed and pride.] [Gradually, a group opposing you emerged within the nation, believing that you had become arrogant and greedy, no longer a hero of the Human Race.] [But you also had a group of loyal supporters who argued that you had made such substantial contributions to the Human Race, so what''s wrong with enjoying life?] [Your pride led you to disregard everyone''s words, continuing to act as you pleased.] [In the sixth year, aside from daily cultivation, you began to enjoy the finer things in life. Anything you desired, wealth-wise, was within easy reach, which only increased your greed day by day.] [Gradually, friends and family around you began to advise you, believing you had changed from who you once were, but there was nothing you could do; to overcome the trials of greed and pride, you had no choice but to continue.] [In the seventh year, although you were arrogant and greedy, you still did not neglect the improvement of your strength. That year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level successfully broke through to the second layer of the Divine Strength Realm!] [In the eighth year, you continued to recklessly squander, enjoying all the rights and wealth at your fingertips. Occasionally, you would concoct elixirs for the influential figures who came seeking medicine, leaving them deeply grateful.] [In the ninth year, you found, apart from arrogance and greed, you were also becoming increasingly irritable.] Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Any little thing that didn''t align with your wishes would trigger your temper like thunder.] [You knew in your heart this was a result of the ample wealth and power you had accumulated, and without constraints, you were becoming more prone to anger.] [But this was exactly what you wanted!] [Before conquering the remaining three trials, you decided to experience all three of these negative emotions in one go. That way, you would be more confident in breaking through the five trials and entering the Divinity Transformation Stage!] Chapter 160: Chapter 136 Talent, Am I Passerby A? (5000-word Mega Chapter)_3 [You still did not restrain your own desires and arrogance, and you felt the impact of all these emotions.][You saw the people who once supported you start to criticize you, and you witnessed your close friends gradually distancing themselves from you.] [It seemed as though there was some enlightenment in your heart, as you came to understand what these emotions had made you lose.] [In the tenth year, you began to reflect on your actions over the years, contemplating the good and bad that money and power had brought you.] [Perhaps, this state could be called Enlightenment, but unlike the cultivators'' understanding of the Great Dao of nature, what you comprehended was the Dao of humanity, the path of the seven emotions and six desires.] [You vanished from the public eye for a while, during which you forced yourself to stay in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, accompanying plants and trees every day, eating Spirit Rice, drinking from the Spiritual Spring, and living a simple life of plain tea and food.] [At first, you were not used to it; you missed the fine wines and wealth of the outside world, and the respectful, adoring gazes of people.] [But you knew you had to overcome this hurdle, or else you would truly get lost in these emotions and desires.] [So you forced yourself to stay in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, where, aside from your arduous cultivation, you studied elixirs and Spirit Plants, and kept the company of mountains and rivers every day.] [In the twelfth year, gradually, your heart settled down; you were no longer crazily obsessed with former power and desires.] [Apart from the necessary Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor each month, you rarely met with outsiders, becoming accustomed to solitude and endurance.] [In the same year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the third layer of the Divine Strength Realm!] [In the thirteenth year, you were now able to control your emotions well, and you believed you had passed more than half of the trial of heart cultivation. But you, being naturally cautious, decided to secure your footing and did not rush to challenge the three trials.] [Two years slipped by slowly, and your mindset became even more peaceful, gaining a deeper understanding of emotions like greed and arrogance.] [In the fifteenth year, you reemerged into the real world, active once again in the public eye.] [But this time, you donated all the wealth you had previously amassed: treasures and equipment were all given away without desire, as you devoted yourself solely to the Dao.] [Your actions earned the praise of countless people, but you simply smiled at this, knowing that while their approval could please you, it could no longer shake your true nature.] [In the sixteenth year, you felt you were fully prepared, and you began to get ready to break through the three trials!] [On a fine, sunny morning, you returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land and, ensuring no outsiders would disturb you, you initiated the third trial of the Divinity Transformation, the Greed Trial!] [Your consciousness slowly sank into the Nascent Soul, and when you awoke again, you had become the most powerful and wealthy person in the world.] [In this world, one-hundred percent of the wealth was controlled by one percent of the people, and your family was that one percent.] [You had become the ultimate owner of the world!] [All the wealth created by everyone belonged to you; looking around, every factory, building, and piece of land bore your name.] [Your siblings indulged in all of this, believing they were born nobler than others.] [You went along with the tide, immersing yourself in money and power every day.] [But you always felt that you were different from those siblings, that the wealth they were obsessed with always seemed to lack something to you, leaving you somewhat uninterested.] [Yet you could never quite grasp why you were different from them.] [Until one day, when you saw a little girl rummaging for food in a garbage pile C those pure, beautiful blue eyes awakened your memory!] [You realized you were within the illusion of the third trial of greed in the Divinity Transformation''s five trials!] [When you realized this, the surrounding illusion slowly dissipated!] [Congratulations on successfully overcoming the trial of greed in the Divinity Transformation''s five trials!] Looking at the lengthy text before him, Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief and said with some surprise: "I never expected that my simulated self would have such courage To go through the trials, I actually began to cultivate my mindset in advance!" At the same time, Su Xing also understood more about the rules for passing the Divinity Transformation''s five trials. "So that''s how it is; the cultivator''s mindset in the real world can give some boost to oneself in the illusions!" "Even though the memories are lost, the mindset remains If the cultivator themselves is someone indifferent to fame and wealth, devoted to the Dao, the probability of passing the Divinity Transformation''s five trials is much greater!" Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing had a realization; everything he did in the simulation indeed helped him better overcome the trial of greed. "Then next, it should turn to the remaining trials of arrogance and anger, right? What kind of illusions will I face?" Su Xing was curious, his gaze shifting to the simulation panel. [After overcoming the trial of greed, you came out of the illusion and successfully returned to the real world.] [As you stepped through the trials one by one, you felt a subtle change within yourself; your perception of nature''s spiritual energy became much stronger, and with a mere thought, you could manipulate it as though it was an extension of your limbs.] [At the same time, you felt as if you had comprehended something indescribable, and after pondering, you believed that only by fully overcoming the five trials could you grasp this profound feeling.] [So, after only three days of rest, you once again entered the fourth trial, the trial of arrogance!] [Your consciousness slowly drifted away, and when you opened your eyes again, you had become the king of an empire!] [The empire you ruled was the most powerful nation in the world, and every little country trembled at the slightest of your actions.] [The fates of nations hung on your every mood!] [You relished this sensation, the feeling of others grovelling at your feet.] [But unexpectedly, one day, a vassal state under your rule dared to defy your command!] Chapter 168: Chapter 139 The Pawn of the Descending Sect, Black Dragon Commerce (5k big chapter)_2 Having converted the week''s goods into simulation energy, Su Xing''s energy surged once again, reaching over thirty million!Thirty million, seemingly a large amount, was actually insufficient for Su Xing''s needs. "Sigh, it''s simply not enough, I just can''t spend it all!" "These thirty million energy points are just enough for me to advance from the fourth to the seventh level of the Divine Strength Realm... Now I can barely afford the energy required to upgrade my realm!" Su Xing sighed, his determination to earn money growing stronger. On June 3rd of the New Era 2024, Su Xing began a new round of simulation. "Start simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 3,900 points of energy, leaving a balance of 30.33 million energy points, with unlimited simulation attempts remaining.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Do you want to extract?] "Extract the purple talent!" Su Xing silently commanded. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Congratulations, you have obtained the purple talent: Descendant of Shennong!] "Descendant of Shennong? That name sounds pretty awesome! What kind of talent is it?" Su Xing''s heart stirred, and he looked toward the simulation panel. [Descendant of Shennong]: Purple Talent, your affinity with any plant is greatly enhanced, enabling you to easily plant and hasten the maturation of Spirit Plants. The time required for Spirit Plants to reach maturity is significantly reduced, and, at the same time, your resistance to poisons is greatly increased. PS: Ever since Shennong died tasting hundreds of herbs, his descendants have significantly increased resistance to deadly poisons. Upon seeing the talent of Descendant of Shennong, Su Xing''s eyes immediately lit up. "Damn, this is definitely an upgraded version of the plant affinity talent! With this talent, cultivating Spirit Plants will become even simpler!" "And it even comes with a bonus of poison resistance, truly a god-level farming talent!" Su Xing was extremely eager about this talent and turned his gaze toward the simulation panel. [Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [You begin to tamper with the Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field and, sure enough, the Shennong talent proves to be much stronger than the previous plant affinity.] [You casually plant a seed, which you quickly hasten to maturity; within just a week, it starts to sprout roots and germinate, more than twice as fast as before!] [Your wood attribute Spiritual Power has an even stronger effect on hastening the growth of plants, and the Spirit Grains in your field become plumper and more abundant.] [Somewhat surprised, you plant thirty seeds of the Gathering Spirit Flower, and these begin to grow robustly!] [You start to find time to cultivate the wasteland, and within just a week, you have planted another ninety mu of Spirit Grains, bringing the total in your field to a hundred mu!] [A week later, Jin Congxue brings you millennium ginseng and other herbs she found. Although in small quantities, they are enough for you to refine several Life Extension Pills.] [During this time, Wang Qingxuan seemed to have lost a lot of weight. No longer washing her face with tears, she still often appeared dazed, a complete change from before.] [Whether for Wang Qingxuan''s sake or to investigate the relationship between the Black Dragon Commerce Guild and the Descending Sect, you decide to visit the Black Dragon Guild.] Su Xing nodded slightly at this and murmured: "Indeed, the effect of the Descendant of Shennong talent is astonishing. It seems that this simulation should yield a large batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers!" "As for the Black Dragon Commerce Guild, it''s definitely worth investigating..." Thinking thus, Su Xing''s eyes moved back to the simulation panel. [One day, after taking your own refined top-quality Disguise Pill and Breath Concealment Pill, confirming you wouldn''t be detected, you sneak into the Black Dragon Guild.] [Through your Divine Sense, you perceive that there is no shortage of powerful individuals in the Black Dragon Guild; there are several Heavenly King Level experts, as well as numerous Masters and Grandmaster Level practitioners.] [The rumored Martial Emperor does not seem to be present in the guild, and with your abilities, you easily infiltrate the innermost part of the Black Dragon Guild.] [This appears to be an ordinary courtyard, just like any common quadrangle, but you feel more and more that there is something abnormal here.] [Thus, you launch your Divine Sense, carefully searching every corner here, hoping to find some clues.] [The whole courtyard seems normal at first glance, until your Divine Sense probes a hundred and fifty zhang underground and discovers something amiss!] [There is a deeply hidden chamber!] Su Xing raised his eyebrows at this. A hundred and fifty zhang underground, that''s almost four to five hundred meters, right? At that depth, it''s not just bomb shelters; even nuclear blasts wouldn''t be a concern! "What kind of secret needs to be concealed nearly five hundred meters underground?" Su Xing pondered, his eyes moving back to the simulation panel. [Although this chamber is deeply hidden, you still find an extremely concealed mechanism through your Divine Sense.] [You trigger the mechanism, walk down the long staircase, and successfully enter the chamber.] [The scene inside the chamber shocks you, for it is filled with controlled Puppets!] [With your exceptional Divine Sense, you can sense faint traces of Spiritual Power on these individuals.] [This means that there is a Cultivator behind these Puppets! It also means there is a Cultivator behind the Black Dragon Commerce Guild!] [While you are slightly astonished, the mechanism has been triggered and these Puppets are awakened, all attacking you.] [From previous intelligence, you know that these Puppets are mostly previously missing professionals, their strength ranging between Gold and Master Levels.] [Such strength, even if hundreds of Puppets attacked at once, poses no fear to you.] [Without much effort, you defeat all the Puppets.] Chapter 173: Chapter 141: 170 Million Energy, Murder and Arson on a Golden Belt! (5k) Su Xing''s heart stirred when he saw it."A Blessed Land... a Cave Heaven?!" Su Xing recalled fragments of memory from his mind. During the Luotian Meeting Instance, Su Xing had learned about the differences between a Cave Heaven and a Blessed Land through immersive simulation. The Luo Tian Sect is the number one sect in the Luo Tian Realm! Within the sect, there are seventy-two Blessed Lands and thirty-six Cave Heavens. Combined, they number one hundred and eight, corresponding to the celestial stems and terrestrial branches. Blessed Lands are for the use of inner gate Elders and above, where the Spiritual Energy is rich, making cultivation twice as effective. The concentration of Spiritual Energy in a Cave Heaven is almost twice that of a Blessed Land! This means that the speed of cultivation could also increase by more than double! For example, Su Xing''s master, the Great Elder Niu Ruolie of the Luo Tian Sect, and Uncle Shennong from the back mountain, both have residences that are at the level of a Cave Heaven. Remembering the various wonders of the Cave Heaven, Su Xing muttered to himself: "Tsk tsk, if this Spirit Field Blessed Land could be upgraded to the status of a Cave Heaven, not only could my cultivation speed increase dramatically!" "Even the maturity speed of the Spiritual Medicines in the Spirit Field and the growth speed of the spiritual beasts would significantly improve!" With that thought, Su Xing''s eyes gleamed with a hint of longing. But he soon shook his head slightly, somewhat helplessly: "It''s a pity, for a Cave Heaven Level, three thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers are needed, and it probably also requires the operation of a large Spirit Gathering Array to barely reach it..." "Not to mention that I don''t know how to set up a large Spirit Gathering Array yet, even the three thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers would require three billion simulation energy! With my current energy, it''s far from enough!" "I should not aim too high; better to get a thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers first!" Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [In the eighteenth year, the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers in the Spirit Field Blessed Land has exceeded a thousand, such an abundance of Gathering Spirit Flowers is already sufficient for your cultivation needs.] [Moreover, with so many Gathering Spirit Flowers, you won''t have the time to tend to them all, nor enough simulation energy to take out, so you sealed the Gathering Spirit Flower seeds and stopped planting more.] S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the nineteenth year, the richness of Spiritual Energy has made your cultivation speed faster, but with Divinity Transformation Cultivation Level being hard as heaven, your cultivation progress remains slow.] [In the twentieth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level made further progress, reaching the Divine Strength Realm''s sixth layer!] [In the twenty-first year, the Spirit Rice trial fields in Kyoto continuously delivered Spirit Rice, adding many formidable professionals to the Great Xia Country.] [According to experts'' statistics, in ten years, the number of Silver Level professionals in Great Xia Country has increased by nearly thirty million, and Gold Level professionals by five million more.] [The explosive increase in the number of lower-tier professionals has also made it more likely for Master and Grandmaster Level professionals to emerge.] [In the twenty-second year, you were assassinated again, unexpectedly.] [Over the years, you''ve experienced assassination attempts no less than a thousand times, but with your current strength, even if Legendary Level powerhouses were to strike, you would have enough time to escape to the Spirit Field Blessed Land, thus you were not greatly troubled.] [In the twenty-fourth year, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass worsened, and the Human Race''s situation took a sharp turn for the worse, but they managed to hold on.] [In the twenty-fifth year, hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts invaded Demon-Subduing Pass, and it finally shattered.] [That same year, a behemoth descended into the real world and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country whole.] [Even with the powerful body of a Divine Strength Realm Cultivator, you were still swallowed by the behemoth, your body collapsing.] [But your Primordial Spirit did not perish, wandering within the belly of the behemoth.] "Huh? What the hell?" Su Xing was stunned for a moment, just when he thought this simulation was coming to an end, unexpectedly there was more to follow. "Divinity Transformation Cultivators, with undying Primordial Spirits, life goes on, right?" "In that case, couldn''t I survive inside the behemoth''s belly when it descends?" Su Xing''s eyes sparkled; this was an unprecedented situation, and he couldn''t help wanting to explore further. His gaze returned to the simulation panel. [After leaving your body, your Primordial Spirit still retained basic consciousness, but you knew that if you didn''t take over a new body quickly, your Primordial Spirit would soon perish.] [You decided to seize this good opportunity to thoroughly explore the insides of the behemoth.] [Since the behemoth swallowed the entire Great Xia Country, the sky had darkened.] [The land began to collapse, skyscrapers started to fall, everything within sight was being devoured.] [Countless chaotic space streams, like black holes, swallowed everything around them, whether human or animal, all were torn to shreds by these chaotic space streams.] [Your Primordial Spirit wandered in this pitch-black space, and you could feel that this should be the stomach of the behemoth.] [The entire Great Xia Country, an entire continent, was swallowed, and rapidly digested.] [At first, you still saw a few "lucky ones" who didn''t die instantly, but they were soon destroyed by the chaotic space streams.] [Your Primordial Spirit drifted in the stomach of the behemoth for seven days and seven nights; the space inside the beast''s stomach was so vast, it was almost as large as the entire Blue Star.] [You tried to find any possible survivors in this space, but unfortunately, under such circumstances, it was impossible for any professionals to survive.] [Your Primordial Spirit grew weaker and weaker, and you could sense that before long, you would dissipate.] [Just when you were in despair, you suddenly felt a familiar aurait was the Primordial Spirit of Damned Zong!] [When you discovered him, Damned Zong also noticed you.] [Neither of you acted rashly; after a standoff for a while, Damned Zong spoke first.] [He told you he was looking for a space stream that led to Demon-Subduing Pass; puzzled, you asked him why he was searching for it.] [Damned Zong told you that the entire universe where Blue Star was located had been conquered by the Foreign Race, and now the only way to get to the Demon Realm was through Demon-Subduing Pass, and the Demon Realm was the obligatory path to other realms!] Chapter 174: Chapter 141: 170 Million Energy, Murder and Arson on a Golden Belt! (5k)_2 [Damned Zong invited you to escape to other great domains; if successful, you might even seize a body and be reborn.][You know in your heart that Damned Zong doesn''t have good intentions, but at this moment, you have no other choice.] [You searched for a long time in the spatial turbulence but still couldn''t find the coordinates of Demon-Subduing Pass.] [And your Primordial Spirit is getting weaker and weaker, almost about to lose consciousness.] [At this moment, Damned Zong finally showed his fangs as he devoured your Primordial Spirit in one bite.] [Before consciousness dissipated, Damned Zong sneered, saying that with the nourishment of your Divine Soul, he should be able to hold on until he finds the turbulent flow where Demon-Subduing Pass is located.] [Your consciousness gradually fades away...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing took a deep breath and frowned in deep thought. After a while, Su Xing muttered to himself, "This time, I didn''t expect to learn such remarkable information!" In previous simulations, Su Xing would die after being eaten by the beast, leaving at most an eyeball. But now, after Su Xing had become a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, his Primordial Spirit could act independently from his body. This also meant that even after losing his physical body, Su Xing could still survive for a while using his Divine Sense. And what Su Xing saw was all within the beast''s stomach. "It''s unimaginable... how large must this beast be? Just its stomach can hold the entire Great Xia Country?" Su Xing took a deep breath. But what surprised him even more was the information he obtained from Damned Zong. "Although Damned Zong merged with my Primordial Spirit, that old dog probably wasn''t lying. His intention to search for Demon-Subduing Pass should be true!" "Demon-Subduing Pass is known to me as the gateway to the Demon Realm... but the Demon Realm, is it really the obligatory path to other great domains?" Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly, although the information he obtained was fragments and bits. But from what Damned Zong said, it wasn''t hard to imagine that Blue Star might already be sealed off by the Demon Race, reduced to a slaughterhouse-like existence. And the entire Human Race was the prey in this slaughterhouse. To escape from this slaughterhouse, they must break out from Demon-Subduing Pass to have a chance at survival! "So that''s how it is... No wonder the Human Race has been defending Demon-Subduing Pass for thousands of years, because it''s the only chance!" "Once Demon-Subduing Pass is completely occupied by the Demon Race, the Human Race will no longer be able to escape this slaughterhouse, and all that awaits is death!" Su Xing rubbed his temples, the information obtained from the Primordial Spirit was too fragmented. Su Xing couldn''t deduce more, but Demon-Subduing Pass must be the key. "It seems that the secrets of this world are even greater than I imagined!" Su Xing curled his lips, but these concerns were for later; for now, his own development was the priority. Thinking so, Su Xing looked towards the simulation rewards. [Descendant of Shennong]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Twenty-Six Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, contains parts of Infant Tempering Pill (Mahayana Level) at a price of 1 million energy. [Divinity Transformation Stage Level Three Cultivation Level]: Breaking through five barriers, stepping into Divinity Transformation, priced at 20 million energy. [Divine Strength Realm Level Six Cultivation Level]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 20 million energy. [One Thousand Mature Gathering Spirit Flowers, Five Hundred Gathering Spirit Flower Seeds]: Priced at 1 billion and 50 million energy. Regarding the rewards from the simulation, Su Xing had a plan in mind. "Cultivation Level advancement is not urgent for now. This Descendant of Shennong talent is an exceptional farming talent akin to a God Level, definitely a must-have!" "And these one thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers... This simulation was almost entirely spent planting them, it''s naturally a choice." "But that price..." Seeing the astronomical energy cost for the Gathering Spirit Flowers, Su Xing felt somewhat of a headache. It would take him a month''s time to have enough for the vast expense of over a billion energy points, which he currently only had a few tens of millions in hand. Su Xing didn''t want to wait that long. "It looks like I''ll have to make a trip to the Black Dragon Guild!" Su Xing narrowed his eyes. Based on the information he got in the simulation, that Martial Emperor powerhouse would not be in the guild these days. As long as Su Xing infiltrated the basement, he could get his hands on over a billion energy. The only risk involved avoiding meeting Dragon Protector in the future. For Su Xing, who scarcely left Kyoto, this was no issue at all. Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It''s like getting over a billion energy for free with no cost, who wouldn''t be tempted?" Su Xing muttered to himself, then took out a pill box and retrieved several round elixirs. They were one superior-grade Breathe-Concealing Pill and one superior-grade Disguise Pill! Su Xing believed that not even a Martial Emperor professional could discern the trick. Exiting the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing glanced at the sky. It was still afternoon and bright daylight; Su Xing couldn''t possibly head to the Black Dragon Guild at this time. He first sent a message to Jin Congxue, telling her he was busy next week and couldn''t trade, proposing to meet a week later. Then, Su Xing began his daily alchemy. When the sky had completely darkened, Su Xing took a deep breath, left the Spirit Field Blessed Land, swallowed the two pills, and hurried toward the Black Dragon Guild. The Black Dragon Guild was dozens of kilometers away from Kyoto University, and instead of flying, Su Xing relied on his physical strength and raced towards the vicinity of the Black Dragon Guild at a remarkable speed. When he arrived at the Black Dragon Guild, it was deep into the night. Su Xing wore a set of black night clothes, camouflaged within the darkness. With his excellent skills, he easily bypassed the guild''s guards and sneaked into the deepest courtyard. His Divine Sense spread out like a tide, sensing the patrolling guild officers; Su Xing didn''t act rashly but rather waited patiently. Chapter 175: Chapter 141: 170 Million Energy, Murder and Arson Gold Belt! (5k)_3 Just as dawn was breaking and the patrolling guild officers were preparing to change shifts, Su Xing made his move!Like an agile black cat, he reached the trigger mechanism for the secret chamber in the blink of an eye. Activating the mechanism, his figure flashed into an underground cellar. Descending the staircase, Su Xing rapidly made his way to the storeroom one hundred and fifty zhang deep. "There seem to be about a hundred breaths... Their strength isn''t strong, they must be the soulless puppets in the simulation!" Without hesitation, Su Xing arrived at the chamber instantly. It was an extremely spacious chamber, probably a hundred zhang wide. In a corner, there were many humanoid puppets with their eyes closed. Scanning with his Divine Sense, Su Xing sighed and said: "What a pity, these people''s Divine Souls are destroyed, they seem alive but are actually dead through and through..." With that, Su Xing no longer hesitated. The next second, the Li Fire Technique erupted! Boom! The extremely high-temperature flames danced in Su Xing''s hand like leaping sprites of fire. With each breath, more than ten puppets were burned to ashes. The entire process didn''t take more than three minutes, and a hundred or so Gold, Master-Level puppets were dead under Su Xing''s Li Fire Technique. "Whew~" After using the Li Fire Technique consecutively, Su Xing took a moment to regulate his breath. He first meticulously burned every corpse to ashes, making sure to leave no traces behind. Afterward, Su Xing began to scour the secret chamber. He opened several giant boxes two meters tall, cram-filled with all kinds of colorful equipment. Blue, purple, gold! Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Gazing at the gleam that signified high-level equipment. Su Xing''s breath grew heavy, too pressed for time to count how many pieces there were. In one go, Su Xing packed several large boxes into the Spirit Field Blessed Land. He then proceeded to a corner and picked up a half-man-tall piece of pitch-black metal. Fourth-Rank Special Metal! "Indeed, just this piece of Fourth-Rank Special Metal, its worth of energy is probably no less than fifty million!" Su Xing also stored the special metal inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land. Next to the special metal, inside a cabinet, were several account books and a sealed letter. After a moment of hesitation, Su Xing chose not to touch the account books or the secret letter. After all, if some treasures were lost, the Black Dragon Guild might just consider it a burglary. But if these key pieces of information were tampered with, they would probably investigate far more intensely, right? Moreover, Su Xing already knew the contents of the secret letter and the accounts; there was no need to stir up more trouble now. With deft hands, he rolled up all the valuable equipment and items, and without looking back, Su Xing headed toward the ground. Sprinting all the way, Su Xing pushed the physical limits of a Divine Strength Realm cultivator to the extreme, his figure concealed in the night. By the time it was dimly light out, Su Xing had already arrived at the Kyoto Professional Market. At this moment, it was teeming with people, countless professionals conducting transactions. Su Xing walked into a deserted alley, and after confirming with his Divine Sense that no one was paying attention to him, he turned and entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land. "Whew... finally, all done!" Once inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing took a long breath of relief. He couldn''t help but feel excited. This was his first heist in over half a year! And he was facing the Black Dragon Guild and the Descending Sect, such colossal entities. Although he had faced them many times in the simulator, in the real world, this was his first encounter. It was hard for Su Xing not to be thrilled. After carefully recalling the details of his actions to ensure there were no oversights, Su Xing began to inspect the vast wealth he had acquired. First taking out those few large boxes of equipment, Su Xing didn''t hesitate, immediately preparing to convert them into energy. The pleasant sound of the simulator rang in Su Xing''s ears. [Ding, detected equipment containing tremendous energy, valued at 83.24 million simulation energy points, do you wish to exchange?] "Yes!" Su Xing said without hesitation, and then he took out the special metal as well. [Ding, detected an ore containing tremendous energy, valued at 57.68 million simulation energy points, do you wish to exchange!] "Yes!" Su Xing''s heart pounded with excitement: "Mother, that''s a whopping one hundred and forty million energy in one fell swoop! An unprecedented huge sum of money!" "Indeed, ill-gotten wealth makes the purse swell... ''Sudden wealth does not compare to steadily accumulated wealth.'' The ancients did not deceive me!" Su Xing could hardly contain his excitement. With this large sum of energy, coupled with what he had left before, Su Xing''s energy surged to a total of one hundred and seventy million points! "Could the Black Dragon Guild be my lucky place?" Su Xing had been wondering how to carry out that thousand-strand Gathering Spirit Flower! Now, he could easily carry it out, with several tens of millions of energy points to spare. This was just too awesome! After calming his emotions, Su Xing silently commanded: "Exchange for Gathering Spirit Flowers and the Descendant of Shennong talent!" [Ding! You have successfully brought out the Purple Talent, Descendant of Shennong, spending 1 million energy points, remaining energy 170.05 million points.] [Detected that you possess the Blue Talent, Plant Affinity, similar type talents, automatically replacing...] [You have successfully brought out one thousand mature Gathering Spirit Flowers and five hundred Gathering Spirit Flower seeds, spending 100.5 million energy points, remaining energy 65.05 million points.] The simulation energy flowed rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, he had spent over a hundred million energy. But Su Xing didn''t feel any sting, as after all, this simulation energy was a windfall that he had earned overnight. Thinking of this, Su Xing exclaimed, "Robbery really is the quickest way to make money! How long would it take to save up like this on my own?" The energy of the Purple Talent infused into Su Xing as he looked towards the Spirit Field not far away. Without knowing when, lovely white flowers had spread across a vast area of the Spirit Field. Easily a thousand strands of Gathering Spirit Flowers! Rich Spiritual Energy hit him in the face as the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the entire Spirit Field Blessed Land rapidly increased! Chapter 176: Chapter 142: A New Round of Simulation, The King among the Demon Race (5k) ```"That''s fantastic, with these Gathering Spirit Flowers, spiritual energy will no longer be a hindrance on my path to the pinnacle of Divinity Transformation!" Su Xing felt a surge of joy within his heart. Even before the depletion of spiritual energy, thousands of Gathering Spirit Flowers would be considered supreme treasures. And now, even a single Gathering Spirit Flower would be enough for cultivators like Damned Zong to risk their lives for! Yet such precious spirit plants were almost everywhere on this small hill under Su Xing''s feet at the moment. With this thought, Su Xing''s eyes brimmed with a sense of achievement. After reveling in his triumph for a while, Su Xing didn''t rush to leave but planned to stay in the Spirit Field Blessed Land for two weeks to lay low. Before the heist, Su Xing had already informed Jin Congxue that the trade would be postponed by a week. In other words, in two weeks, when the appointed time came, it wouldn''t be too late for Su Xing to make his move. "Then during this time, I''ll focus on alchemy with peace of mind!" An unstoppable smile spread across Su Xing''s face as he produced his alchemy furnace and began the alchemy process with practiced hands. Meanwhile, as Su Xing leisurely refined elixirs... The Black Dragon Guild was anything but calm at this moment! The moment Su Xing had broken into the secret chamber, the Martial Emperor-level powerhouse sensed it and rushed towards the guild. But Su Xing acted too swiftly, and by the time he returned to the chamber, Su Xing had long since fled to the professional market and entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land. This Martial Emperor powerhouse, with a fluctuating expression, surveyed everything around him and muttered to himself: "Who could it be... who exactly did this?" Afterward, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably and, hesitating, he activated a Sound Transmission Jade Slip. From the other end of the jade slip, an old voice came through. "What is it?" At the sound of this voice, the Martial Emperor powerhouse shivered even more, stammering: "Lord Long, something terrible has happened... The secret chamber of the Black Dragon Guild has been plundered, the more than a hundred puppets are all dead, and all the treasures have vanished without a trace..." "I rushed back as soon as I sensed the triggers, but I was still too late! The perpetrator''s strength... It''s likely no weaker than mine!" "Lord..." The flustered Martial Emperor powerhouse continued to explain hurriedly. Lord Long on the other end of the Sound Transmission Jade Slip, after a silence, eventually asked: "Are the ledger book and the secret letters still there?" On hearing this, the Martial Emperor hastily opened a cabinet and after seeing the untouched ledger book and secret letters, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Lord, they are still here! The ledger and secret letters haven''t been touched!" From the other end of the Sound Transmission Jade Slip, Lord Long remained silent for a long time before slowly replying: "I see, let''s leave it at that for now, don''t make a fuss..." The scene shifts back to the Spirit Field Blessed Land. Su Xing had already been in the Spirit Field Blessed Land for a week, and during that week, he had focused on refining elixirs without setting foot outside the Spirit Field. In a single week, he had produced six thousand elixirs! "Phew... It''s been close to a week already, hasn''t it?" Su Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and murmured: "I wonder what the situation is like outside. Should I go out and test the waters?" But then, Su Xing shook his head slightly. "No, it''s not good. It''s only been a week; the Black Dragon Guild''s spies might still be around. I''d better lie low for another week!" With that thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. A week had passed, and the cooldown for the next simulation cycle had ended. On June 10, 2024 of the New Era, Su Xing promptly began a new round of simulation. "Commence simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 4000 energy points, leaving 65,505,000 energy points remaining, with unlimited simulation chances left.] [Simulation starting!] [Extracting a green talent costs 1000 energy points, blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and extracting a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Do you wish to extract?] "Extract the Purple Talent!" [Congratulations, you have acquired the Purple Talent: The Pole That Never Falls!] [The Pole That Never Falls]: Your endurance in battle is greatly increased (Censored to prevent inappropriate content)] Su Xing: "..." Rubbing his hands with some excitement, Su Xing spoke. With just a glance, Su Xing lost interest in the talent. Although powerful, it was not something Su Xing needed at the moment! Looking at the simulation panel, Su Xing was already considering his plans for this simulation. "Demon-Subduing Pass... a passage that connects the real world to the Demon Race''s realm?" Su Xing was slightly intrigued. If he really could escape to the demon world through Demon-Subduing Pass, he might just survive the calamity and avoid being devoured by the behemoth! Even if only Su Xing managed to escape, it would significantly extend the simulation time. S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Well then, let''s give it a try!" [Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [You chose not to hastily leave the Spirit Field Blessed Land to return to reality, deciding instead to spend another week within.] [During that week, you continued to refine elixirs and tended to the spirit plants in the Spirit Field.] [A week later, you left the Spirit Field Blessed Land and returned to the real world unnoticed. You contacted Jin Congxue and met up with her.] [You asked Jin Congxue about any unusual activities from the Black Dragon Guild, but she indicated nothing was amiss.] [Finally relaxing after being on edge, you resumed your routine cultivation and farming.] [Although the spiritual energy in your blessed land was far more abundant, breaking through as a Divinity Transformation cultivator proved extremely difficult, and your cultivation yielded minimal results.] [Therefore, you took some time to check on Wang Qingxuan to ensure she wouldn''t stray into the Descending Sect. After confirming her safety, you began searching for traces of the Descending Sect.] [After several months of searching, you finally found the Descending Sect''s headquarters in Shuangqing City, located in the southwest province.] [You went to Shuangqing City and deliberately swept through the city with your Divine Sense.] [Sure enough, half a month later, Damned Zong found you.] [Damned Zong was shocked by your youthful appearance at first but then realized you must have taken over the body you currently possess.] ``` Chapter 177: Chapter 142: A New Round of Simulation, The King among the Demon Race (5k)_2 [After matching wits and courage with Damned Zong, you managed to obtain a handful of Spiritual Medicine from him with the aid of two Life Extension Pills and secured a chance to join the Descending Sect.][Under the introduction of Damned Zong, you quickly became an Elder of the Descending Sect.] [Afterward, you began to secretly ally with Luo Shuying and gained her trust.] [With the help of Luo Shuying, you soon obtained a large batch of Spiritual Medicine.] [You patiently waited, outwardly showing brotherhood with Damned Zong, while secretly refining Spiritual Medicine and accumulating power.] [Soon, two years had passed.] [In the third year, with nearly two hundred thousand Elixirs in your hands, you believed the time was ripe to defect from the Descending Sect with Luo Shuying.] [Before defecting, you didn''t forget to sling mud at Damned Zong, politely inviting him for a meal.] [After your defection, you headed to the Kyoto of Great Xia Country, where you brought out all two hundred thousand Elixirs, easily gaining the trust of the Great Xia Military and becoming a core figure.] [Afterward, you began to successively refine higher grade Dragon Spirit Pills, Origin Martial Pills, Soul Condensing Pills and so on, adding more powerhouses to Great Xia Country.] [In the same year, the Descending Sect discovered your defection, and they began to hunt you down.] [But because you and Luo Shuying were within the Great Xia Military, the Descending Sect could only target Damned Zong.] [Damned Zong once again began his journey of flight.] [In the fourth year, with your help, Luo Shuying successfully advanced to a Legendary Level powerhouse.] [Also, your Origin Martial Pills, Divine Strength Pills, and other Elixirs added hundreds of Heavenly King Level and several Martial Emperor Level powerhouses to Great Xia Country.] [For your later plans and also to better improve your Cultivation Level, you decided to join Demon-Subduing Pass.] [Although the entire Human Race opposed the idea, you were determined to start from scratch as a nameless soldier, fighting on the battlefield.] [When you first joined the battlefield, your lack of combat experience meant that you could only exert half your strength.] [Even so, Heavenly King Level Demonic Beasts could not withstand even one blow from you, and Demon Emperors barely held their own against you.] [As your combat experience grew more proficient, you gradually began to unleash the strength of a Divine Strength Realm Cultivator.] [With Origin Force enshrouding you, Heavenly King Level Demonic Beasts couldn''t withstand three punches.] sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ordinary Demon Emperors, after enduring hundreds of punches, would also sustain heavy injuries and cough up blood.] [In just half a year, you had slain dozens of Demon Kings and three Demon Emperors.] [With ample Flesh Essence from Demon Emperors, your Body Refinement strength began to soar rapidly.] [In the fifth year, after having joined Demon-Subduing Pass for a full year and having experienced hundreds of battles, under the stress of high-intensity combat, you were now able to unleash your full strength.] [Every day, you consumed five pounds of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, and your strength and Cultivation Level visibly advanced.] [In the sixth year, you killed ten Demon Emperors and hundreds of Demon Kings.] [With only your own strength, you played a role on the battlefield that could compare to ten Martial Emperors.] [You consumed five pounds of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence daily and then rapidly absorbed this pure energy during high-intensity combat, converting it into Cultivation Level.] [In the seventh year, you began to use your sword to kill enemies; wherever your Three Talents Sword Technique passed, not even a blade of grass grew where Demon Kings stood.] [You gradually made a name for yourself at Demon-Subduing Pass and became known as the first Sword Emperor of the Pass.] [In the eighth year, you continued to confront your enemies with your sword, and in endless battles, you further improved your command of swordsmanship.] [Over the years, you have killed dozens of Demon Emperors and hundreds of Demon Kings; now, all Demon Kings flee at the mere news of your approach.] [In the ninth year, with the daily supply of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, you felt yourself drawing ever closer to the fifth level of the Divine Strength Realm.] [In the tenth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level finally broke through, and you became a fifth level Divine Strength Realm Cultivator!] [In the eleventh year, having fought with your sword, you began to experiment with utilizing your own Origin Force.] [Origin Force, wrapped around your fists, greatly increased the strength and durability of your punches.] [But the consumption was tremendous; once the Origin Force was exhausted, your physical energy would rapidly decline, and you required ample rest to slowly recover Origin Force.] [You discovered that consuming the Flesh Essence of Demonic Beasts could speed up the recovery of Origin Force.] [In continuous battles, your Cultivation Level, combat experience, and mastery of Origin Force all improved rapidly.] [Before you knew it, three years had passed. In the fourteenth year, your practical combat experience increased significantly, and your mastery of combat techniques surpassed that of ordinary people.] [You were not only able to flexibly use your own swordsmanship and Origin Force, but also, thanks to your excellent combat skills, you were able to exert a combat strength slightly beyond your own capabilities.] [In the fifteenth year, you had been with Demon-Subduing Pass for more than a decade.] [Over those years, no fewer than two hundred Demon Emperors died at your hands, along with nearly a thousand Demon Kings, and countless Demonic Beasts below Grandmaster Level.] [In the thousands of years of Demon-Subduing Pass''s history, below the Legendary Level, you were the strongest who had slain the most Demon Emperors and Demon Kings.] [You were awarded the Human Race Hero Medal of Demon-Subduing Pass, becoming a general with a status comparable to that of Legendary Level!] [Though such honors were merely the icing on the cake given your position, it was still a cause for celebration, a recognition of your strength by others.] [In the sixteenth year, with continuous battle and an endless supply of Flesh Essence, you felt that you were not far from the sixth level of the Divine Strength Realm.] [And after more than a decade of bloody battles, you felt your will as firm as ever; like most soldiers, you developed an ironclad, rock-solid warrior spirit.] Chapter 178: Chapter 142: A New Round of Simulation, King Among the Demon Race (5k)_3 [Sometimes, without realizing it, the killing intent in your eyes and aura can terrify lower-ranking demonic beasts so much that they dare not even breathe.][You have grasped the rudiment of killing intent!] [In the seventeenth year, you made another breakthrough in your Body Refinement Cultivation Level, becoming a sixth-order practitioner in the Divine Strength Realm!] Su Xing took a deep breath when he read this. "I actually, grasped the rudiment of killing intent!" Su Xing remembered that in a previous simulation, he fought at the Demon-Subduing Pass for over a decade and similarly understood the rudiment of killing intent by slaying enemies. According to Su Xing''s guess, this should be a special ability that can be grasped when one has killed enough creatures. Likewise, it is a recognition of the experience in slaying enemies! Su Xing murmured, "It seems it''s time to choose some practical combat experience, only with enough practical experience can I maximize the advantage of my Divine Strength Realm Cultivation Level!" "However..." Su Xing paused, then continued with some amazement, "This demonic beast''s Flesh Essence truly is a cultivation treasure for Body Refinement Cultivators!" "In just a decade or so, I have broken through from the fourth to the sixth order of Body Cultivation, this speed, if other Body Refinement Cultivators knew, they''d probably be astounded!" It is known that the cultivation for Body Refinement Cultivators is even more difficult and time-consuming than for Qi Cultivation Cultivators. A typical Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage would need two or three decades to make a breakthrough, so for those at the Divine Strength Realm, breaking through would take at least thirty years! Yet Su Xing, on average, managed to make a breakthrough every less than ten years! Apart from the boost from his Purple Talent, "Power to Uproot Mountains" and "Gourmet," the Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence was key! With this thought, Su Xing''s lips slightly curved upward. "Perhaps, in this simulation, I could break through to the seventh order of the Divine Strength Realm!" Reaching the seventh order of the Divine Strength Realm meant entering the later phase of the Divine Strength Realm, not far from the peak of Divine Power. His gaze turned toward the simulation panel. [In the eighteenth year, on the battlefield, you began to consciously temper your killing intent.] [Although you don''t know the exact method of cultivation, you know that continuously killing enemies can enhance the intensity of your killing intent, and by wielding this killing intent, you can master it more quickly.] [Relying on the most primal method of cultivation, your aura on the battlefield was so fierce that even the Silver Level demonic beast cannon fodder didn''t dare to approach.] [That year, you killed ten Demon Emperors, hundreds of Demon Kings, and countless demonic beasts below Grandmaster Level...] [In the nineteenth year, as your fame grew louder, not only did your name echo through the Demon-Subduing Pass, but many within the Demon Race also began to know your name.] [Weaker demonic beasts avoided you at all costs, fearful of encountering you.] [However, some very strong members of the Demon Race began to seek you out deliberately.] [One day, you finally met an extraordinary member of the Demon Race, a demonic beast no more than ten meters tall with an appearance similar to the Human Race, possessing late-stage Demon Emperor strength.] [To your surprise, this demonic beast could even speak human language and seemed to be very familiar with matters concerning Blue Star.] [He claimed to be from the Royal Clan of the Demon Race, the Fierce Rhino Clan!] [Curious, you asked him why he was so much smaller than the average demonic beast.] [This member of the Fierce Rhino Clan showed a look of disdain and claimed that only lower species would have such large bodies, which were nothing but dead flesh.] [While the Fierce Rhino Clan laughed, his gaze fixed firmly on you, stating that you were quite strong, and your reputation had begun to spread among the Royal Clan, so he had come to finish you.] [After saying this, the Fierce Rhino Clan member attacked you, and you, not one to be trifled with, immediately parried.] [Just a dozen exchanges later, you could feel the tremendous difference in strength between this Fierce Rhino Clan member and ordinary demonic beasts.] [This Fierce Rhino Clan Demon Emperor was the strongest enemy you had encountered in more than a decade.] S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [He had a silver-red horn growing on his forehead, incredibly tough, such that even when you wrapped your fists with Origin Force to strike it, your palms would still crack.] [What was more astonishing was that this Fierce Rhino Clan member could also use fire-based spells, the beam of flame emanating from his horn was not as powerful as the Li Fire Technique, but it was far beyond any ordinary flame.] [You fought with this Fierce Rhino Clan member for over a hundred rounds, gradually getting used to his ways of attack and starting to gain the upper hand.] [Your battle lasted from the evening until the morning of the next day.] [After several hours of fierce fighting, you left hundreds of wounds on the body of the Fierce Rhino Clan beast, and you too were out of breath.] [The Fierce Rhino Clan beast went from calmness at the start to astonishment and fear at the end.] [You knew he was preparing to flee, so you launched your final offensive. After hundreds of exchanges, you finally cut him down!] [After the Fierce Rhino Clan beast died, to avoid complications, you dragged his body into the Spirit Field Blessed Land and then returned to the Demon-Subduing Pass city, entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [After recuperating for several hours, you began to explore what made this Fierce Rhino Clan and ordinary demonic beasts different.] [You discovered that the horn on the forehead of the Fierce Rhino Clan was incredibly tough, no less durable than fourth or fifth-order exotic metals.] [This Fierce Rhino horn was a top-notch Artifact Refining material.] [What surprised you even more was that this Fierce Rhino Clan member, less than ten meters in height and weighing just tens of tons, contained a whole three hundred pounds of Flesh Essence!] [The quantity of this Flesh Essence was more than triple that of a normal Demon Emperor!] [And you noticed that the Flesh Essence of the Fierce Rhino Clan was more effective than that of ordinary Demon Emperors, containing more abundant energy.] Chapter 179: Chapter 143 Secrets of Demon-Subduing Pass, Slaughter Battlefield! (5k) Su Xing raised an eyebrow when he saw this."The Fierce Rhino Tribe... indeed, among the Foreign Races, there are many different tribes, and the disparities between them are vast!" Su Xing remembered that during a previous simulation, Luo Shuying had once mentioned the Shadow Tribe to him, which also seemed to be a type of Foreign Race. "Just don''t know whether the Shadow Tribe or the Fierce Rhino Tribe is stronger?" Su Xing pondered thoughtfully and murmured, "The strength of the Foreign Race really isn''t as simple as it appears on the surface. Did that Demonic Beast from the Fierce Rhino Tribe say that giant-sized beasts are merely low-grade? " Su Xing did not agree with this view. Perhaps the common Demon Emperors on the battlefield, hundreds of meters in size but with low intelligence, were cannon fodder among the Demon Race. But that colossal beast that eventually descended was definitely among the very strong existences within the Foreign Race. Capable of swallowing whole continents... Its size was definitely on par with that of a planet! Sometimes, when size increases to a certain extent, it can lead to a qualitative change! "However, the royal clans within the Demon Race are not only strong, but the key is that they can provide more, purer Flesh Essence... this aspect is something to pay attention to later!" Su Xing nodded slightly. Obviously, for him, the Flesh Essence produced by these royal clans had a better effect! His gaze shifted to the simulation panel. Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You took out the Fierce Rhino Tribe''s Flesh Essence, and after eating only three jin, you felt satisfied, your energy within feeling replenished.] [Moreover, compared to breaking through with Demon Race Flesh Essence, the Flesh Essence of the Fierce Rhino Tribe contains a trace of flame power, which continues to stimulate your body, accelerating the improvement of your Body Refinement Cultivation Level!] [In the following period, you consumed the Flesh Essence of a Demon Emperor of the Fierce Rhino Tribe every day, and you felt your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improve day by day.] [In the twentieth year, the news that you killed a Demon Emperor of the Fierce Rhino Tribe quickly spread throughout the entire Demon-Subduing Pass Foreign Race.] [Ordinary Demon Kings and Demon Emperors rarely dare to challenge you anymore, but those royal clan Demon Emperors began to challenge you incessantly.] [Through battling these royal clan Demonic Beasts, your combat skills became even more refined, capable of handling various types of enemies.] [In the twenty-first year, over the span of a year, you killed more than ten ordinary Demon Emperors as well as several from different royal clans, including but not limited to, the Crimson Feather Tribe, Spirit Swallow Tribe, Yellow Lion Tribe...] [Although these enemies were troublesome, your strength grew increasingly powerful, and you always managed to emerge victorious from peril.] [Even though you inevitably got injured after battles, the improvement to your combat experience was even greater.] [Moreover, the Flesh Essence of these royal clans enabled your Cultivation Level to maintain rapid growth.] [In the twenty-second year, your reputation had already spread among the Demonic Beasts of the royal clans within Demon-Subduing Pass. These Demonic Beasts took pride in defeating you, hoping to kill you and restore the Demon Race''s honor, and thereby become famous within their race.] [But to you, these royal clans were merely delivering more Flesh Essence your way.] [By the twenty-third year, gradually, the royal clans also realized you were not easy to deal with, and the Demon Emperors coming to challenge you became fewer and fewer.] [Therefore, you started to take the initiative. Whenever you were nearly out of Flesh Essence, you would always hunt down a couple of Demon Emperors to replenish your stock.] [In the twenty-fourth year, after eight years of cultivation and supplemented by the Flesh Essence of the royal clan, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level finally advanced further!] [Congratulations on becoming a seventh-layer Cultivator of the Divine Strength Realm!] Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this, unable to help the excitement on his face. "I didn''t expect that a single simulation would actually advance me by three minor realms!" When he had first broken through to the Divine Strength Realm, Su Xing had thought it would be good enough if a single simulation could improve his level by two realms. But unexpectedly, the effect of the Demon Emperor''s Flesh Essence was surprisingly good, and moreover, the Flesh Essence of the royal clans among the Foreign Race was very effective. Combined with the constant slaughter at Demon-Subduing Pass, Su Xing''s physical strength and Body Refinement Cultivation Level were both in a phase of rapid growth. "Very good, let''s strike while the iron is hot and elevate the Body Refinement Cultivation Level to the Divine Strength Realm''s perfection, then look for a way to raise my Qi Refining Cultivation!" Su Xing gradually formed a plan in his mind. Although the Spiritual Energy was abundant in the blessed land now, it was still difficult to improve the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivation Level; it would be good enough to break through two realms with one simulation. By such an account, it would even take five or six chances of a simulation reward to accumulate enough to bring his Qi Refining Cultivation to the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage. In comparison, it was clear that improving his Body Refinement Cultivation Level would enhance Su Xing''s strength much more rapidly. After all, with every threefold increase in Body Cultivation Level, Su Xing''s strength would more than double! "Then next, those Legendary Demon Beasts should be ready to completely destroy Demon-Subduing Pass... it''s time to explore a bit!" Su Xing knew that to infiltrate the Demon Realm from Demon-Subduing Pass, he absolutely could not just sit and wait for death. He preferred to venture onto the endless wilderness of the battlefield, which was better than staying in the confines of Demon-Subduing Pass. [In the twenty-fifth year, although you had performed heroically over the years, you still could not turn the tide with your power alone.] [The death toll in Demon-Subduing Pass kept rising, and the number of Heavenly Kings and Martial Emperor-level professionals dwindled.] [Knowing that a grand invasion by the Demon Race was imminent, you didn''t want to just sit and wait for death; instead, you began preparations.] [It took you a month to refine a batch of Fasting Pills, Bone Growth Elixirs, and a large quantity of Disguise Pills and Turtle Breath Pills.] [These elixirs would ensure your survival for an extended time deep within the wilderness.] [Afterward, you stockpiled a good amount of Flesh Essence from Demon Emperors and Demon Kings, as well as a plethora of healing potions, Instance Dungeon Items, equipment, etc., for emergencies.] [The night before you left, you said goodbye to Luo Shuying. Luo Shuying seemed to sense something off about your mood, but you didn''t elaborate.] Chapter 180: Chapter 143 Secrets of the Demon-Subduing Pass, Slaughter Battlefield!

[Without making a sound, you continued to hide your aura and ran in the opposite direction of Demon-Subduing Pass at an astonishing speed.] [After running for several hours, you were already a thousand miles away from Demon-Subduing Pass.] [At this moment, the scenery around you began to change.] [Looking ahead, the landscape was still a wilderness, but there were almost no bones of Demonic Beasts or the Human Race to be seen. Instead, the moon in the sky grew progressively redder.] [You looked at the blood moon in the sky and felt a chill that wasn''t from the cold.] Su Xing paused slightly upon seeing this, contemplating whether to activate the immersive simulation feature. After all, once activated, Su Xing would be able to see the world beyond Demon-Subduing Pass with his own eyes. After hesitating for a while, Su Xing muttered to himself, "Activate the immersive simulation feature, duration six hours!" [Ding, you have successfully activated the immersive simulation feature for six hours, costing 600,000 simulation energy points, remaining energy points 64,350,000.] "Seeing with my own eyes should provide a deeper understanding of the Demon-Subduing Pass instance, shouldn''t it?" Su Xing thought as much to himself. A flash of white light passed, and the scene in front gradually began to change. When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he saw an endless wilderness before him. Bare earth, scattered rocks, and even weeds were scarce. Looking out, a faint red hue covered the boundless wilderness, and a faint smell of blood lingered in the air. Su Xing looked up and saw indeed a blood moon as large as a millstone above his head. This blood moon bathed the land in red, adding an eerie and sinister sensation to the wilderness. "Is this the instance where Demon-Subduing Pass is located?" "Rather than an instance, it''s more like a world unto its own! Just how vast is this world, I wonder?" A thought struck Su Xing, and his Divine Sense spread out like a tide. What surprised Su Xing was that his Divine Sense, which typically extended over three thousand zhang, could now only stretch to three hundred zhang at most! "This world is quite strange! Even the Divine Sense is weakened by ninety percent?" Su Xing frowned slightly, the mysteries of Demon-Subduing Pass deepening. Maintaining his Divine Sense around him for a hundred zhang, Su Xing continued on his way forward. Su Xing maintained a speed of a hundred kilometers per hour for about an hour, which was not fast but ensured his safety and allowed him to better observe this world. After running for several hours, Su Xing finally stopped, a puzzled look on his face. "Strange, I''ve been running for a thousand miles now, and I haven''t seen any armies of Demonic Beasts, and even solitary Demonic Beasts have been rare to encounter..." Su Xing had run this thousand miles, and within the range of his Divine Sense, he detected Demonic Beasts ranging from Silver Level to Demon Emperor. But most were scattered on the battlefield, moving alone. "So... How exactly did the Demon Race''s armies of Demonic Beasts rush to Demon-Subduing Pass?" Su Xing pondered. "Could it be that they don''t travel by corporeal means, but also possess something similar to a teleportation formation?" Human beings coming to the Demon-Subduing Pass instance couldn''t possibly have traveled from Blue Star. Instead, they are directly teleported into the heart of Demon-Subduing Pass through a special teleportation formation point. Su Xing suspected that the Demon Race might have a similar method. Beyond this, another question arose in Su Xing''s mind. Looking up at the moon in the sky, the farther Su Xing was from Demon-Subduing Pass, the closer the moon above him seemed, and the redder it became. This blood moon shone down on Su Xing, causing him to experience faint irritability and various other negative emotions. Had it not been for Su Xing''s overcoming of the "Five Trials of the Heart," he might have been swayed by the blood moon, becoming a creature that only knew slaughter... "Moreover, the scope of this world is too vast; it probably isn''t much smaller than the entire Blue Star, right?" "And Demon-Subduing Pass, where the stand is taken, seems to have an area of only a few hundred square kilometers... In this world''s blueprint, does it only occupy a tiny part?" While Su Xing was deep in thought, he suddenly sensed a presence approaching with his Divine Sense. Su Xing immediately became alert, gripping the Spirit Sword Mo Bing. "Who is it? Show yourself!" Su Xing called out with a frown. To Su Xing''s surprise, a figure indeed appeared not far away. Looking intently, it turned out to be... "Luo Shuying, how did you come here?" Su Xing''s voice contained surprise, as well as some excitement. However, Luo Shuying remained silent for a few seconds, staring straight at Su Xing, and after a while, she said, "You shouldn''t have left me behind..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing was taken aback and felt somewhat guilty, but still explained, "After all, your people are in Demon-Subduing Pass, I feared you would be reluctant to leave them... Moreover, my journey is likely to be perilous, and I did not want to implicate you..." Luo Shuying fell silent for a few seconds upon hearing his words, then said, "I would rather be with you... Where you go, I follow..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing''s heart warmed. At this moment, the blood-red moonlight shrouded Luo Shuying. She wore a light black robe, her hair cascading over her shoulders. Chapter 181: Chapter 143 Secrets of the Demon-Subduing Pass, Slaughter Battlefield! (5k)_3 Without a mask, the light from the Red Moon fell upon Luo Shuying''s delicate face, giving it an especially exquisite, aesthetically pleasing appearance, akin to a perfect piece of art, momentarily taking Su Xing''s breath away.After a deep look at Luo Shuying, Su Xing said: "Following me, you might die..." Luo Shuying took a step forward and said earnestly: "Death is just a matter of sooner or later... Given the current situation, it won''t be long before Demon-Subduing Pass is breached." Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this and gave Luo Shuying a hand signal, and the two of them headed deeper into the wilderness. Along the way, Su Xing''s Divine Sense, which he extended outward, did detect quite a few Demonic Beasts. But those Demonic Beasts were mostly not in their right minds, wandering the wilderness aimlessly, their eyes turning blood-red and filled with slaughter. Luo Shuying, who had been following behind, suddenly asked: "Su Xing, aren''t you affected by the Slaughter Moon?" Caught off guard by the question, Su Xing wondered, "Slaughter Moon?" Pointing at the moon high in the sky, Luo Shuying responded: "That moon there is called the Slaughter Moon." Seeing that Su Xing was still somewhat puzzled, Luo Shuying continued her explanation: "The world we are in right now is known as the Slaughter Battlefield... Demon-Subduing Pass is just what you people of the Human Race from Blue Star call it, referring only to that area around the city..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing became even more puzzled. The Slaughter Battlefield was a name he had heard for the first time. Luo Shuying clearly knew much more than Su Xing did. She went on to explain: "The Slaughter Battlefield is said to have been the site of a fierce battle that a being of great power from long ago had with the Foreign Race, and the outcome of that battle remains unknown..." "All that is known is that the originally vast world was shattered, with countless demiplanes and broken worlds scattered amidst the spatial turbulence. These fragmented worlds strewn across various places came to be known as Slaughter Battlefields!" "Not only does Blue Star have a Slaughter Battlefield, but outside the world of my home, where the Spirit Race resides, there''s also a Slaughter Battlefield... Our battle with the Foreign Race takes place within that Slaughter Battlefield." "It is said that the Slaughter Battlefield hides great secrets and is also the channel through which the Foreign Race invades various worlds!" Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Pausing for a moment, Luo Shuying''s gaze shifted towards Su Xing. "So, you''re actually looking for a way to other worlds, right? You want to find that spatial turbulence from within the Slaughter Battlefield... Honestly, the chances are slim." After hearing Luo Shuying''s words, Su Xing fell into deep thought. Combining the information obtained from Damned Zong during the last simulation, Su Xing had a rough understanding. The Slaughter Battlefield was the channel for the Demon Race''s world invasion but also the only way out for the Human Race to escape the invasion. After a moment of silence, Su Xing asked again: "Then why is the moon in the sky called the Slaughter Moon?" Luo Shuying explained: "I''m not sure of the specifics, but there is a legend that once a malevolent god perished on the Slaughter Battlefield. After his death, he transformed into the Red Moon in the sky, influencing everything living on the Slaughter Battlefield..." "It''s rumored that once he influences enough creatures, he could revive..." Su Xing nodded and said, "So I''m not affected because my mental fortitude is relatively strong, right? But you don''t seem to be very affected either?" Luo Shuying shook her head and explained: "Even though I''m of the Spirit Race and naturally have stronger mental strength, the Slaughter Moon still affects me. It''s just that I''m now at the Legendary Level, so I can resist these negative emotions to a certain extent." "But if we go deeper, I fear I won''t be able to hold on much longer..." Su Xing then asked, "So, what exactly is at the end of this battlefield?" Shaking her head, Luo Shuying said, "I don''t know, but if you''re looking for a way to escape this battlefield, I guess it''s most likely to be found at the deepest part of the Red Moon?" Su Xing memorized every word said by Luo Shuying verbatim. Then the two continued walking for a while. Along the way, Luo Shuying''s complexion grew increasingly pale, seemingly struggling desperately against the influence of the Red Moon. Thinking for a moment, Su Xing took out two Bright Mirror Elixirs and handed them to Luo Shuying. "Eat these; they should be of some help to you now." Without hesitation, Luo Shuying swallowed them, and after a while, her complexion indeed improved significantly. Bright Mirror Elixirs stabilize emotions and clear the mind, having a certain effect on resisting the influence of the Red Moon. Yet, Su Xing knew of a middle-grade elixir called Calming Heart Elixir, which was more effective, specifically used for calming emotions. Su Xing and Luo Shuying walked on for some time. At that moment, a prompt appeared in his mind that the immersive simulation time was ending. Su Xing thought it over and decided that continuing forward would probably not yield much more, so he temporarily exited the immersive simulation. Back in the real world, Su Xing looked at the simulation text before him and muttered: "The Slaughter Moon, the Slaughter Battlefield... the only way to escape?" Su Xing took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on the simulation panel. [Luo Shuying has found you, and you are walking together on this desolate battlefield.] [There is no direction on the Slaughter Battlefield, only the Red Moon above your heads.] [As you continue forward, the Red Moon overhead grows larger, and its negative influence on living creatures becomes stronger.] [Along the way, you encounter increasingly powerful members of the Foreign Race, some of whom even begin launching attacks on you proactively.] [These members of the Foreign Race vary in form, but all have blood-red eyes as if they have lost their sanity to slaughter.] [Fortunately, with Luo Shuying at your side to help, you''re not having too much difficulty dealing with them.] [After several days, as you delve deeper, Luo Shuying has to focus more energy on suppressing her own emotions and is unable to fully engage in combat.] [Therefore, you have to withstand the pressure and deal with the red-eyed members of the Foreign Race that wander the Slaughter Battlefield on your own.] Chapter 182: Chapter 144: Myriad Demons Pilgrimage, the Embryo of Slaughter! (5k) [You and Luo Shuying had been traveling like this for several days, covering at least thousands of kilometers in the past few days.][But you still hadn''t reached the end of this battlefield. The only thing you could feel was the Blood Moon above your head growing bigger all the time.] [The Red Moon, which had originally been high in the sky, was slowly hanging down, almost parallel to your line of sight. It seemed as if you could touch the Red Moon if you continued to run.] [And as you delved deeper, you encountered progressively stronger members of the Foreign Race, and just by your own strength alone, you were almost at your wit''s end.] [Starting from the initial Gold, Master Level Foreign Races, to the now Heavenly King, Demon Emperor-level aliens.] [These Foreign Races are manic and irrational, knowing only to destroy all life around them by instinct.] [Days went by like this, and you gradually encountered some Legendary Level aliens. Those Foreign Races were extremely powerful, and you didn''t dare approach after just one glance from afar.] [Thus, your progression slowed down, carefully avoiding the potentially approaching Legendary Foreign Races.] [But eventually, you still unluckily encountered a few Legendary Red-eyed Foreign Races.] [These Red-eyed aliens may have lost their reason, but their strength was still formidable. In the state you and Luo Shuying were in, you couldn''t resist at all.] [Even if Luo Shuying tried to stop them with her life, you were still torn to pieces by these Red-eyed Foreign Races.] [You died!] [Your Primordial Spirit left your body, trying to escape, but the Red Moon soon fell upon it, and your Primordial Spirit dissipated...] [Your Purple Talent activated upon death unwilling to close its eyes!] [You opened your eyes wide and saw the Red Moon devouring your Primordial Spirit, and you vaguely sensed the Red Moon turning a deeper shade of red.] [You saw on the blood-red ground, countless Red-eyed Foreign Races looking up at the Red Moon, performing actions of prostration and submission.] [This is...a pilgrimage!] [Ding, the simulation is over!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing looked at the text in front of him, his mind full of thoughts. "Could it be that this Red Moon, really formed from the death of an evil god?" Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although Su Xing felt this was far-fetched, everything that had happened in the simulator made him suspect it might be true. Indeed, the Red Moon had a consciousness of its own! Whether it was the snatching of Su Xing''s Primordial Spirit by the Red Moon or the worshipping gestures made by those beasts, all seemed to indicate that the rumors Luo Shuying spoke of were not unfounded. "It''s a pity, this simulation didn''t explore enough of the Slaughter Battlefield..." Surprise flashed in Su Xing''s eyes as he murmured, "Mainly, it''s because my strength is not enough after all! To think that the Slaughter Battlefield is roamed by a large number of Legendary Level Foreign Races!" "Moreover, the deeper I went, the stronger these Foreign Races were, and the greater the impact of the Red Moon on me... In the deepest parts, could I encounter Red-eyed Foreign Races that surpass the Legendary Level?" Su Xing felt somewhat uncertain. However, judging by the current situation, a Divine Strength Realm Cultivation Level was absolutely incapable of getting through this Slaughter Battlefield! "Perhaps at the peak of Divinity Transformation stage combined with a complete Divine Strength Realm, I could forcefully break through those Legendary Demonic Beasts... but my current strength is still not enough!" Su Xing sighed and murmured, "After all, it comes down to a lack of strength. But then again, if I were strong enough... I wouldn''t need to think about escaping from the Slaughter Battlefield, I''d simply have a showdown with that planetary beast!" Su Xing shook his head slightly, putting aside these impractical thoughts for the time being. Encountering the Slaughter Battlefield was still a bit too early for him. But this wasn''t necessarily a bad thing, as for Su Xing, it meant that he had a better understanding of this world and now had one more path to consider. "If I could really escape to another world through the Slaughter Battlefield, the duration of the simulation might be extended significantly!" A glint of anticipation flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. After all, his path was that of a Cultivator, and as Cultivators progressed to later stages, breaking through even a minor realm could take decades or even hundreds of years. A brief retreat could span over a dozen years. Even with Su Xing''s exceptional talents, breaking through a single stage in the later realms might still take decades. And Blue Star would be destroyed in less than thirty years. So where would there be enough time for Su Xing to cultivate? It was for this reason that Su Xing strived to improve the strength of the Human Race; wasn''t it just to have more time for simulations? "Alas, the journey is long and arduous! Let''s first see the rewards of this simulation!" Su Xing turned his gaze to the choices for the simulation reward. [Jin Spear Indefatigable]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Twenty-six Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 1 million energy. [Divinity Transformation Stage Third Level]: Breaking through five barriers, stepping into Divinity Transformation, priced at 20 million energy. [Divine Strength Realm Seventh Level]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 30 million energy. [Twenty Years of Slaughtering Experience at Demon-Subduing Pass]: Contains the combat experience and techniques from slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Demonic Beasts over twenty years at Demon-Subduing Pass. After learning, combat experience and techniques will greatly improve, and due to the continuous slaughter, you will comprehend the rudiments of a killing intent, priced at 20 million energy. Faced with these reward options, Su Xing didn''t hesitate much. After all, aside from wanting to explore Demon-Subduing Pass, this simulation was about improving strength. And the gains from this simulation had somewhat exceeded Su Xing''s expectations, reaching the Seventh Level of the Divine Strength Realm! "Just don''t know, what exactly is the effect of this rudimentary killing intent?" Su Xing''s eyes were full of anticipation as he silently decided, "I choose the Seventh Level Divine Strength Realm Cultivation and the Twenty Years of Slaughtering Experience!" As the words fell, the simulator''s prompt sound appeared in Su Xing''s mind. Chapter 183: Chapter 144: Myriad Demons Pilgrimage, the Embryo of Slaughter! (5k)_2 [Ding! You have successfully brought out the Seventh Level Cultivation of the Divine Strength Realm, costing 30 million energy, remaining energy 34.35 million points.][You have successfully brought out twenty years of battle experience from Demon-Subduing Pass, costing 20 million points of energy, remaining energy 14.35 million points.] As the notification sound ended, two mysterious energies surged into Su Xing''s body. The first thing Su Xing sensed was the multitude of memory fragments that had appeared in his mind. Those memory fragments were his twenty years of battle experience in the Demon-Subduing Pass! Regarding the practical application of Origin Force, practical application of swordsmanship... Or how to quickly dispose of an opponent in battle, how to conserve as much physical and Spiritual Power as possible... Even the weaknesses of different species of Demonic Beasts and those subtle details in combat... All of it was clear in his heart. Twenty years of combat experience had transformed Su Xing from a battle rookie straight into a battle master! He had discarded all unnecessary actions and techniques, focused solely on slaying enemies, only for the sake of slaughter, and pursued the highest efficiency! Moreover, the moment those memories poured into his mind, Su Xing emanated an astonishing presence. This was not an increase in strength or realm but an endless killing intent! This sort of killing intent could only accumulate through relentless buildup; if one hadn''t taken several hundred thousand lives, it couldn''t be accrued. There''s a saying: People who have killed have a different look in their eyes than those who haven''t. But now, the killing intent radiating from Su Xing was clearly not as simple as just having killed a person. Even casually released, his presence was enough to strike terror into the hearts of lower-tier Demonic Beasts. Even Demonic Beasts of the same class would be affected by Su Xing''s killing intent, weakening their strength by about ten percent. The unconscious release of Su Xing''s killing intent caused the Spirit Chickens in the coop a hundred meters away to faint. "This killing intent is too intense; it seems that''s not so good either..." Su Xing frowned slightly, trying to rein in the killing intent emanating from him. Immediately, the killing intent followed his will, completely retracting into his body, as if it were possible to unleash such terrifying killing intent at will. From the outside, Su Xing still looked like before, a sunny, overly handsome college student. "Incredible... Twenty years of battle experience, this is truly a tremendous treasure!" Su Xing was somewhat excited. If the previous Su Xing, despite having a Fourth Level Cultivation of the Divine Strength Realm, lacked actual combat experience, he could only exert sixty to seventy percent of his strength, barely comparable to a junior Martial Emperor. But now, Su Xing could fully display his strength, even bursting beyond his Cultivation Level. Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I guess even late-stage Martial Emperors might not be a match for me now, right?" A touch of confidence flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. However, it all hadn''t ended yet. When the memories were fully digested, Su Xing''s aura began to burst out frantically! His Cultivation Level started to climb sharply! Divine Strength Realm Fourth Level... Divine Strength Realm Fifth Level... Divine Strength Realm Sixth Level... Eventually, the Seventh Level of the Divine Strength Realm! In just a few breaths, Su Xing''s Cultivation Level went through a triple jump. From just entering the mid-phase of the Divine Strength Realm, he had leaped to a late-stage Cultivator of the Divine Strength Realm! And with each increase in realm within the Divine Strength Realm, one''s strength increases by thirty percent! Within just a few breaths, Su Xing''s strength more than doubled! A few breaths ago, Su Xing''s strength was forty-four million jin. But now, Su Xing''s strength has soared to ninety-six million eight hundred thousand jin! Nearly one hundred million jin of strength! "Incredible, such a terrifying strength... It must have surpassed the limits of Martial Emperor Level practitioners, right?" Su Xing murmured. "Perhaps, if it''s a pure comparison of strength, I''m already close to Legendary Level practitioners?" A gleam of sharp light passed through Su Xing''s eyes. If he isn''t there yet, then once Su Xing reached the peak of the Divine Strength Realm, His strength would double again, just reaching the astounding two hundred million jin! Converted to tons, that''s one hundred thousand tons! "The limit of a Divine Strength Realm Cultivator might truly be to uproot mountains, right?" "No wonder in the simulation, I was able to slay so many Demon Emperors on the battlefield, even taking down several from the Royal Clan... You know, it''s extremely difficult for a common Martial Emperor to kill a Demon Emperor. Yet now, I should be considered the pinnacle among Martial Emperors, right?" Su Xing pondered thoughtfully. Now, his biggest thought was, in terms of strength, who was stronger or weaker, him or that damned Zong? After a brief comparison, Su Xing said uncertainly. "In a pure contest of strength, naturally I utterly crush that damned Zong... If it comes to real battle, perhaps it would be a fifty-fifty chance?" "But that damned Zong has lived for two or three thousand years, if he still has some hidden cards... maybe I''m no match for him." Su Xing shook his head slightly, then his eyes flickered with confidence again. "That damned Zong is a genius in his own world too, but it also took him one or two thousand years to gain such strength..." "And I, it has taken me less than a year to achieve so much!" "At this pace, perhaps in another month or two, my strength will completely crush that damned Zong! By then..." Su Xing''s mouth curved slightly upward, time, always on his side. Currently, even if Su Xing teamed up with Luo Shuying, they could defeat that damned Zong, but could not ensure the safety of the storage bag. But Su Xing''s target was the treasures inside that storage bag. Wait until he was a bit stronger, leaving that damned Zong without a chance to fight back; then all of that damned Zong''s accumulated wealth for a thousand years, Spirit Stones, rare treasures, Cultivation Techniques, Divine Skills, will all belong to Su Xing! Thinking about this, Su Xing was filled with an urge to act! Chapter 184: Chapter 144: Myriad Demons Pilgrimage, the Embryo of Slaughter! (5k)_3 ```"Come on, after alchemizing elixirs for one more week, when the rumors outside die down, I''ll go to find Jin Congxue!" Su Xing muttered to himself, and then began refining elixirs with dedication. Time flew by like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Today was the day Su Xing and Jin Congxue had agreed to meet for their trade. After taking a Concealment Pill, Su Xing adjusted his aura and then left the Spirit Field Blessed Land to return to the professional market. With his Divine Sense spread out to confirm that no one had noticed him, he pretended to be an ordinary college student, purchasing some low-level equipment and props before heading back to school. After returning to school, Su Xing casually strolled around and even enjoyed a bowl of braised pork in the cafeteria. Once he was sure nothing was amiss, Su Xing sent a text message to Jin Congxue. He then set out toward the familiar villa. It wasn''t that Su Xing was too cautious, but being careful was always a good thing. After all, the Descending Sect was behind the Black Dragon Guild, and one could never be too cautious. S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If he were really being followed, Su Xing''s current strength meant he didn''t have much to fear, but if he carelessly went to the villa and implicated Jin Congxue, he would definitely regret it. Upon arriving in the familiar villa room, Jin Congxue had been waiting for a long time. After half a month without seeing her, Jin Congxue was still enchantingly beautiful, draped in an ancient Hanfu that made her look stately yet radiant. "Sister Xue, why are you dressed so formally today?" Su Xing sat down comfortably and teased Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and explained, "Today is my Jin Merchant Guild''s ancestral worship day. I just finished offering sacrifices this morning and haven''t had time to change my clothes." On hearing her words, Su Xing expressed some confusion, "Isn''t your family from Jinling City? Why come to Kyoto to pay respects to your ancestors?" Jin Congxue, at a loss for words, said, "Who told you my family was from Jinling City? My ancestral home is in Kyoto. It was only my father''s generation that moved the Jin Merchant Guild to Jinling and then settled down in the South..." Su Xing nodded after hearing this, with a clearer understanding. Jin Congxue joked, "Yo, big boss, where have you been bustling about these past two days?" At that, Su Xing chuckled and replied, "How could I have any time? I''ve been busy alchemizing every day!" After saying that, Su Xing handed over the twelve thousand elixirs he had refined over the past two weeks. Jin Congxue naturally didn''t buy Su Xing''s story but didn''t press for more details either, instead passing on her goods from the past two weeks to Su Xing. "Here you go, these are the goods for the past two weeks. Lately, the Tarot Commerce Association has been growing bigger and bigger; I don''t know what kind of luck you''ve stumbled upon..." "At this rate, in less than two years, the Tarot Commerce Association is likely to grow into a top-tier commerce association!" Su Xing took the storage ring and chuckled. He knew in his heart that this was the effect of his Purple Talent for thriving in business. Though Su Xing didn''t manage the association, he was the actual big boss, and like a mascot, naturally ensured the smooth development of the Tarot Commerce Association. Afterward, Jin Congxue took out two ancient-looking jade boxes and handed them over to Su Xing. "These are the medicinal herbs you requested; millennium ginseng, Lingzhi, Polygonum multiflorum..." "These herbs aren''t easy to find! Only the ancient families with a legacy have some, and I put in quite an effort to get them." "Moreover, these millennium herbs must be placed in boxes made of fine ancient jade to prevent the dissipation of their medicinal properties." After hearing this, Su Xing nodded and took a glance inside the jade box. Indeed, inside the box, a few millennium herbs were lying quietly, emitting a notable fragrance. "Tsk, tsk, these millennium herbs must be almost on par with spiritual medicine even if they grew in ordinary soil, right?" Su Xing estimated that these herbs should be enough for him to refine seven or eight Life Extension Pills. Once he''d refined the Life Extension Pills, if Su Xing had the chance, he could take a trip to the Baili Merchant Guild. Those "treasured items" of Baili Qi had long been objects of his envy. Su Xing stored away the herbs and spent some tender time with Jin Congxue before reluctantly heading back to school. Entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing first exchanged the goods he''d accumulated over two weeks for energy. In total, the goods from these two weeks provided nearly thirty-two million units of energy! Adding onto the energy left from his previous simulation, his simulation energy total reached over forty-six million. Seeing that his simulation time had refreshed, Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulations. On June 17, 2024 of the new era, Su Xing timely began his forty-first simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 4100 energy points, leaving a balance of 46.23 million energy points; remaining simulations are unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a green talent costs 1000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points; do you wish to proceed?] "Draw a purple talent!" Su Xing didn''t hesitate and stated directly. [Congratulations! You have acquired the purple talent: The Great Wisdom in Foolishness!] [The Great Wisdom in Foolishness]: A purple talent, you may appear naive or even somewhat foolish on a regular basis, but in critical moments, you can draw out the wisdom you''ve accumulated and unleash an unprecedented level of intelligence and comprehension. This talent is an active talent that can be freely switched between "Foolish", "Intelligent", and "Average" modes. Note: In a naive state, both IQ and comprehension will slightly decrease, which may affect the host''s normal life. Upon seeing the description of this talent, Su Xing furrowed his brows. "This seems like another talent that affects comprehension? But why does this talent seem somewhat stupid?" This was the first active talent Su Xing had encountered, and he felt there was more to it. After reading over it a few times, a flash of insight crossed Su Xing''s eyes. ``` Chapter 185: Chapter 145: The First Active Talent, The Great Wisdom in Foolishness! (5k) ```"This talent seems a bit strong, doesn''t it?" Su Xing roughly understood the function of "The Great Wisdom in Foolishness" talent. In simple terms, it traded his usual low intelligence and comprehension for high comprehension and intelligence at critical moments! The states of foolishness, mediocrity, and great wisdom could be adjusted at any time. Su Xing quickly thought of how to use this talent. "If I maintain the state of foolishness normally, with lowered intelligence... but trigger the Great Wisdom State when I need to comprehend divine skills and learn new elixirs, wouldn''t my learning speed skyrocket?" Su Xing''s eyes lit up as he murmured: "I just don''t know how much the Great Wisdom State will enhance comprehension and talent." Obviously, this was a talent born for simulation! In the real world, Su Xing could remain in the mediocre state without any impact. But in the simulation, exchanging "foolishness" for "great wisdom" would certainly help him quickly achieve his goals. The most critical part was that this talent could be activated at any time! It no longer required luck to trigger an epiphany like "sporadic enlightenment." Thinking of this, Su Xing''s eyes showed some anticipation. "Let''s see just how effective the talent Great Wisdom in Foolishness is?" His gaze turned towards the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [Your gaze falls upon your talent, The Great Wisdom in Foolishness.] [You begin to tinker with this talent, and after setting the activation command, you quickly understood its function and wanted to enter the Great Wisdom State.] [But nothing happened...] [You understand that you must first enter the state of foolishness to accumulate time to trigger the Great Wisdom State.] [Thus, you shouted the command "I admit I have a gambling element" and entered the state of foolishness.] [After entering the state of foolishness, you felt as if someone had hit the back of your head with a plank, and your intelligence quickly plummeted.] [You struggled to answer even the simplest problems from before, and your eyes began to cross involuntarily.] Su Xing: ??? Seeing this, a vein popped on Su Xing''s forehead, and he couldn''t help but retort: "Damn, this state of foolishness turns me into an idiot in minutes! And why are my eyes crossing, too?" Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What''s with this command, acting like some primary school prodigy, right?" Although he had anticipated this, Su Xing hadn''t expected the effect of foolishness to be so strong. "Then, what would be the effect of triggering the Great Wisdom State?" Su Xing was somewhat excited, his gaze returning to the simulation panel. [You try alchemy, fortunately, the art of alchemy has been etched into your "deoxyribonucleic acid", so even with decreased intelligence, you are able to produce elixirs of low and inferior quality, just much slower.] [Thus, after ten days, you have produced five thousand elixirs.] [On this day, you shout the slogan "I want to become smart" and enter the Great Wisdom State.] [Upon entering the Great Wisdom State, you feel your intelligence soaring. The difficult problems that once plagued you are easily solved, and both your intelligence and comprehension greatly increase.] [You attempt to comprehend the Three Talents Sword Technique, and sure enough, just one day of comprehension is equivalent to the results of three days of practice in the past.] [The second day, the effects of the Great Wisdom State end, and you return to the mediocre state.] Su Xing nods slightly, deep in thought. "So it turns out, ten days in the state of foolishness can be exchanged for one day of the Great Wisdom State?" "Under the Great Wisdom State, comprehension and intelligence are probably tripled, and one day of comprehension is equivalent to three previous days!" "And the state of foolishness is not complete idiocy, as long as I''m not trying to learn new things, or tackle high difficulty, and am doing activities that don''t require intelligence or are extremely familiar, it only affects me slightly." After some thought, Su Xing quickly identified scenarios where the "Great Wisdom in Foolishness" talent would be suitable. "During immersive simulation, if I were to learn a new divine skill, it would cost 2.4 million energy points for 24 hours, and to fully learn it would even require more than ten days, which is 24 million energy points..." "But if I learn a new divine skill in the ''Great Wisdom'' state, the time and energy required are reduced by two-thirds!" "Looking at it this way, perhaps I could even attempt to learn higher-level cultivation techniques through the Luotian Meeting Instance!" With a twinkle in his eye, Su Xing knew that his current Cultivation Technique, the Changchun Technique, and the "Heaven, Earth, Man" Three Talents Sword Technique, badly needed updating. With this talent, The Great Wisdom in Foolishness, Su Xing could save a lot of time and energy. "Furthermore, when creating high-quality elixirs, the lack of ingredients is also a big problem, but by triggering the Great Wisdom State, one alchemy session is equivalent to three!" "In this way, I could master new elixirs faster, and even reach the Minor and Mahayana Levels more quickly!" Excitement flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. In short, with this talent lottery, he really struck gold! Although the boost to comprehension is not as significant as "sporadic enlightenment", it wins in its ability to be triggered at will, greatly increasing practicality! "Tsk tsk, it looks like I can visit the Luotian Meeting Instance again in this simulation, and memorize the latter part of the Three Talents Sword Technique before slowly comprehending it!" With a plan in mind, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the simulation panel. [You quickly understood how to use the talent Great Wisdom in Foolishness, so for the next ten days, you stayed in the state of foolishness.] [In the state of foolishness, you peacefully stayed in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, crafting elixirs and tempering your physique.] ``` Chapter 186: Chapter 145 The First Initiative Talent, The Great Wisdom in Foolishness! (5k)_2 ```[Ten days later, you shouted the slogan "Ha, mere mortals," entering a state of mediocrity, then prepared to enter the Luotian Meeting Instance.] [You were lucky, as on the second day, you obtained the qualification to enter the Luotian Meeting Instance and successfully entered it.] Su Xing saw this and was moved, silently chanting: "Activate immersive simulation functionality for 24 hours!" [Ding, you have successfully activated the immersive simulation functionality for 24 hours, costing 2.4 million energy points, leaving a remaining balance of 43.73 million energy points.] A flash of white light crossed Su Xing''s vision, and then the scenery before his eyes changed, transporting him inside the instance.] "My good disciple, go to the back mountain and invite Uncle Shennong to participate in the Luotian Meeting!" Looking up, Su Xing saw the speaker was the familiar Elder Niu Ruolie. Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes, Master!" Su Xing bowed and made his way toward the back mountain. Along the road, Su Xing recollected the fragments of memory that came to his mind. "My identity is still that of Luo Xiaochuan, a direct disciple of the Luo Tian Sect... But now I am a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage, a genius in the late stage of the Divine Strength Realm?" "One of the three most outstanding geniuses under a hundred years old in the current generation of the Luo Tian Sect, before turning a hundred, I''ve condensed the Nine Revolution Golden Core, surmounted five challenges, achieving Divinity Transformation... Am I qualified to become an Immortal?" After absorbing the identity memories in his mind, Su Xing pondered thoughtfully. "It seems that the Luo Tian Sect is even more powerful than I had imagined!" "Divinity Transformation Cultivators are merely direct disciples? Then what level of Cultivation is required for the status of an Elder... or even a Saint Heir?" Su Xing now knew that the old lady in the Scripture Pavilion was at least a Cultivator of the Body Integration Realm. And his Master Niu Ruolie, although he primarily focused on Body Cultivation, probably had Cultivation not weaker than that of a Body Integration Cultivator... "Hiss, truly worthy of a Cultivation sect with hundreds of thousands of years of legacy, the number of Immortals that have emerged from the Luo Tian Sect must not be few; such a foundation... is truly terrifying!" Su Xing was somewhat delighted in his heart. The stronger the Luo Tian Sect, the greater the benefits for Su Xing. Because this meant that the treasures of this "illusory world" were even more abundant, and Su Xing would be able to obtain even more Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills. With this thought, Su Xing quickly arrived at the back mountain and saw Uncle Shennong. Uncle Shennong still looked like a simple farmer, and upon seeing Su Xing arrive, he put down his farm work. Approaching Su Xing, he smiled and praised: "Nephew, your Cultivation has gotten higher and higher. Under a hundred years old, you''ve become a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage. If you work a bit harder, maybe you could become the Saint Heir of our Luo Tian Sect!" Saint Heir? After hearing this, Su Xing''s mind stirred, and he quickly asked: "Uncle, what are the requirements to become the Saint Heir of our sect?" Upon hearing this, Shennong Youtian looked at Su Xing strangely, but still explained: "Now that your Body Cultivation has reached the later stages of the Divine Strength Realm, if you become a Cultivator in the Broken Void Realm or the Return to Void Realm and achieve a perfect state of Cultivation before the age of a hundred, you could become the Saint Heir of our sect!" "To become the Saint Heir is to say you''re halfway on the path to Immortality, with a great chance of becoming an Immortal..." Saying this, Shennong Youtian spoke with quite a bit of pride: "Your Uncle here, was the Saint Heir of the Luo Tian Sect three thousand years ago!" Su Xing was somewhat surprised and blurted out: "Then, Uncle, have you become an Immortal?" Upon hearing this, Shennong Youtian''s face darkened, and he coughed twice, saying: "Cough cough, don''t bring up what is best left alone! Let''s go, it''s time for the Luotian Meeting!" Su Xing''s words seemed to have touched upon a painful subject for Shennong Youtian, who remained silent all the way. Soon after delivering Shennong Youtian to the Luotian Meeting, Su Xing excused himself and then headed to the Scripture Pavilion. Seeing the old lady dozing off at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion, Su Xing glanced at her with a sense of guilt, thinking to himself: "Speaking of which, I still owe this old lady a favor! But she probably doesn''t remember it!" After greeting the old lady, Su Xing walked straight to the tome that recorded the "Three Talents Sword Technique" for "Divine, Earthly, and Human" Swordmanship. "I want to get smarter!" Su Xing shouted out the slogan sheepishly, entering the Great Wisdom State. In the Great Wisdom State, Su Xing sensed that his thinking was extremely lucid, and his learning and comprehension abilities had multiplied several times over! He glanced at the time; there were still 23 hours before he would exit the instance. Su Xing began delving into the second part of the Three Talents Sword Technique, the Earth Sword. The Earth Sword allows for communication between heaven and earth, bestowing the wielder with the essence of the natural world, significantly enhancing potency! In his current lucid state of mind, Su Xing knew he had just under a day''s time, so he focused solely on memorizing the content of the Earth Sword. Soon, a day passed, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. In the real world, Su Xing rubbed his slightly swollen temples, murmuring: "This Three Talents Sword Technique is profound and inscrutable, its contents vast like an ocean. In this one day, I must have memorized tens of thousands of words by rote, and yet I''ve only just barely memorized one-third of the Earth Sword content..." "To fully memorize the Earth Sword section, I''d need at least two more tries!" Su Xing began to understand the power of serendipitous enlightenment. This time, Su Xing''s intellect and understanding had tripled, yet in one day, he only memorized one-third of the Earth Sword content. But during that previous moment of serendipitous enlightenment, he was triggered just once, and it was equivalent to ten years of learning and comprehension. Not only did he memorize the entirety of the Human Sword section, but he fully understood the content and even learned the principles about Sword Cultivators detailed in the "Sword Cultivation General Outline." ``` Chapter 187: Chapter 145: The First Active Talent, The Great Wisdom in Foolishness! (5k)_3 Compared to that, the effect was far too weak!"Alas, if only I could trigger another moment of serendipitous enlightenment!" Su Xing sighed and murmured: "Even if I were to completely memorize the Earth Sword by rote, understanding its content fully would probably take more than a decade, right? And if I include practicing the swordsmanship... the time required would probably skyrocket!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. Fortunately, what he had done this time was, firstly, to try out the effect of the Great Wisdom in Foolishness talent, which indeed exceeded his expectations. Secondly, it was merely a precautionary measure; he had only attained a minor level of mastery in the Human Sword, and it was already struggling to keep up with the seventh level of his Body Refinement Cultivation Level. Next, Su Xing would find a way to master the Human Sword completely, and by then, his combat power would definitely climb a major rung! "If I could fully comprehend the Earth Sword, perhaps I could try to forcefully break through the Slaughter Battlefield!" Excitement flickered in Su Xing''s eyes as he looked toward the simulation panel. [After coming out of the Luotian Meeting Instance, you began to find ways to join the Descending Sect.] [You intentionally disguised yourself and concealed your aura before arriving at Shuangqing City in the southwestern province.] [After that, you repeated your old tricks, arrogantly sweeping through Shuangqing City with your Divine Sense.] [Sure enough, it didn''t take many days for Damned Zong to find you, believing you to be a cultivator from another world, just like him.] [After a conversation full of ulterior motives, you exchanged a Life Extension Pill for some precious Spiritual Medicine, as well as a chance to join the Descending Sect.] Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After that, due to your formidable strength, you smoothly became an elder of the Descending Sect!] [On the surface, you called Damned Zong your brother, while secretly you contacted Luo Shuying and obtained a large batch of medicinal materials through her.] [You began to refine elixirs as usual, accumulating a substantial amount of medicinal materials.] [After becoming an elder, your movements were relatively free.] [In the second year, you found an opportunity to store a day''s worth of Great Wisdom State in advance, preparing to enter the Luotian Meeting Instance.] Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this and used the immersive simulation feature again for 24 hours. After going through the task process again, Su Xing continued memorizing the Three Talents Sword Technique, specifically the Earth Sword part. Soon the 24 hours passed, and Su Xing returned to the real world. "Great, everything is going as I expected, just one last part left, and I''ll have completely memorized the Earth Sword!" Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the third year, having accumulated enough elixirs, you thought the time was ripe, so you betrayed the Descending Sect with Luo Shuying.] [After betraying the Descending Sect, you were pursued, but with the protection of the Great Xia Military, the Descending Sect dared not be too brazen.] [Poor Damned Zong though had to flee for his life.] [You contributed the elixirs you had accumulated over the years to the Great Xia Military, adding many strong warriors to Great Xia Country.] [Then, you stored the Great Wisdom State in advance and found an opportunity to enter the Luotian Meeting Instance once more.] Su Xing nodded slightly at this and said again: "Activate the immersive simulation feature! Duration: 24 hours!" [Ding, you have successfully activated the immersive simulation feature for 24 hours, consuming 2.4 million energy points, with 38.93 million remaining.] As the notification sounded, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the Luotian Meeting Instance. Immediately, he went through the familiar task process and continued to memorize the Three Talents Sword Technique. Soon the immersive simulation time ended, while in the outside world only less than a minute had passed. Su Xing returned to consciousness in the real world, with a hint of joy on his face. "Fantastic, I''ve finally memorized the entire Earth Sword section. Next, all I need to do is methodically practice the swordsmanship!" After obtaining the talent of The Great Wisdom in Foolishness, Su Xing set a goal for this simulation in his heart. "This simulation, let''s see if I can raise my Body Refinement Cultivation Level to the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm... or even make further progress in the Human Sword stage of the Three Talents Sword Technique!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s eyes turned to the simulation panel. [In the fourth year, you continued to refine elixirs and practice swordsmanship. You gave all the elixirs you had refined over the years to the Great Xia Military, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster level warriors, hundreds of Heavenly Kings, and dozens of Martial Emperors.] [Afterwards, you joined Demon-Subduing Pass, hoping that through its battles, you could further improve your Body Refinement Cultivation Level and hone your swordsmanship!] [In the fifth year, you slaughtered enemies for a whole year at Demon-Subduing Pass, using swordsmanship exclusively against your foes, and your grasp of the Three Talents Sword Technique improved further!] [In the same year, you consumed a large amount of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence, but since your strength had already reached the late stage of the Divine Strength Realm, the benefits of the Demon Emperor Flesh Essence for your cultivation became increasingly limited.] [You began to crave the slaughter of Royal Clan Demons to obtain higher-grade Flesh Essence.] [Unfortunately, the sight of Royal Clan Demonic Beasts was almost nonexistent on the battlefield, and your cultivation pace was far slower than before.] [In the sixth year, you spent an entire year slaying more than a dozen Demon Emperors and hundreds of Demon King level Demonic Beasts, with countless Grandmaster level and below Demonic Beasts.] [Through continuous battle, your understanding of the Human Sword grew even stronger!] [You consumed up to eight jin (approximately 8 pounds) of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence daily, and under the nourishment of a large amount of Flesh Essence, your Cultivation Level slowly increased.] [In the seventh year, your understanding of the Human Sword reached a new level, and in the ongoing battles, you felt your Human Sword was nearing the Mahayana Level!] [In the same year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level slowly improved.] [In the eighth year, your fame at Demon-Subduing Pass grew larger and larger, with dozens of Demon Emperors perishing at your hands.] [One day, the long-awaited Rhinox race Demonic Beast came to your doorstep, issuing a challenge.] [Knowing that the Rhinox race was no match for you, and that your strength had grown by leaps and bounds, you prepared to seize this valuable opportunity to refine your swordsmanship!] [You fought the Rhinox race for three days and three nights, using only swordsmanship to repel your foe, and your mastery of the Human Sword increased rapidly!] [In the end, you decapitated the Rhinox Demonic Beast with a single sword strike, securing victory!] [At the same time, your Human Sword finally attained the Mahayana Level!] [Congratulations on successfully mastering the embryonic form of Sword Intent!] Chapter 188: Chapter 146 Human Sword Perfection, Massive Power Increase! (5k) The embryonic form of Sword Intent!?A glint of light flashed in Su Xing''s eyes, and his heart was somewhat excited. In the total compendium of sword cultivation texts, there had been an introduction to Sword Intent! The Three Talents Sword Technique was divided into Heaven, Earth, and Man Swords! Among them, the Human Sword was divided into the realms of entry-level, minor achievement, major achievement, and Great Perfection! And the mark of stepping into the realm of major achievement was the comprehension of the embryonic form of Sword Intent! The concept of Sword Intent was profound upon profound, and ordinary sword cultivators, even after hundreds of years of practice, might only learn the sword moves without necessarily grasping the Sword Intent! However, Su Xing, due to a previous epiphany, had a deep understanding of the principles of the Human Sword. Moreover, with his innate talent as a sword fanatic, he learned swordsmanship more than ten times faster than the average person. Even so, in his simulations, Su Xing had just barely stepped into the realm of major achievement of the Human Sword by constantly pressuring himself and engaging in intense swordsmanship battles, and he had managed to comprehend the embryonic form of Sword Intent! Recalling the description in the compendium of sword cultivation, Su Xing murmured: "Tsk tsk, this is the embryonic form of Sword Intent! A sword cultivator who understands Sword Intent holds the sword with the spirit of doing one''s utmost and fearless of life and death!" "With the strength of the human merged with the Sword Intent, the power of the sword in hand will be fed back to the cultivator themselves, greatly increasing their strength!" "And when one holds a sword, they advance unopposed, unafraid of formidable enemies, gaining at least a 50% enhancement in strength after understanding Sword Intent!" "Besides that... the most damn important thing is the cool factor! With the Sword Intent released, one can emit sword light and decapitate the enemy from a kilometer away!" Excitement surged in Su Xing''s heart, how did the saying go? Being cool is a lifetime''s pursuit! But at the same time, Su Xing did not let his success go to his head, murmuring: "Having achieved major achievement in Human Sword and grasping but the embryonic form of Sword Intent, yet if one reaches Great Perfection, one can fully comprehend Sword Intent!" "With my current strength, should I grasp Sword Intent, I might truly have the assurance to defeat that damned Zong, right?" Su Xing''s gaze stirred, his current strength was at most evenly matched, maybe slightly at a disadvantage, against Damned Zong, but understanding Sword Intent could shift the odds in his favor! After all, sword cultivators, among cultivators, are considered to have extremely profound offensive techniques! "If only I could trigger an epiphany..." Some desire emerged in Su Xing''s heart; now with major achievement in Human Sword and comprehension of the embryonic form of Sword Intent, another epiphany could likely lead him effortlessly to Great Perfection of Human Sword! His gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [After mastering the embryonic form of Sword Intent, you did not slacken in your cultivation of swordsmanship; instead, you sought to test whether your Human Sword could be cultivated to the level of Great Perfection.] [Thus, you continued to use your sword against enemies, constantly enhancing your comprehension of swordsmanship in actual combat.] [In the ninth year, after reaching major achievement in Human Sword, with the boost from Sword Intent, you slew fifteen Demon Emperors in one year, acquiring a substantial amount of Flesh Essence.] [After consuming large amounts of Flesh Essence daily, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved further.] [In the tenth year, you slew two members of the Royal Clan among the demonic beasts, and your comprehension of Sword Intent deepened during the battles.] [From a kilometer away, with a swing of your sword, the emitted sword light was enough to bisect a Demon King.] [That same year, after consuming the Flesh Essence of the two Royal Clan demonic beasts, you felt that your Body Refinement Cultivation Level was not far from the eightfold Divine Strength Realm.] [In the eleventh year, you once again slew three members of the Royal Clan among the demonic beasts, earning a reputation throughout Demon-Subduing Pass as the number one person beneath the legends of the Pass!] [On the battlefield, holding a sword, you knew no fear, even when facing two Demon Emperors at the same time, managing to hold your own and retreat unscathed.] [You started to continuously challenge yourself, breaking through Sword Intent, and if there were no Royal Clan demonic beasts to fight you, you would proactively face two Demon Emperors simultaneously, using this to temper your swordsmanship.] [In the twelfth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level finally broke through, making you a cultivator of the eighthfold Divine Strength Realm!] [At the same time, your swordsmanship also became more exquisite, and your comprehension of Sword Intent was no longer just a glimpse of the threshold.] Seeing this, Su Xing furrowed his brow and murmured: "It took a whole twelve years to break through to the eightfold Divine Strength Realm..." "It seems that in the latter stages of the Divine Strength Realm, raising one''s cultivation level is indeed difficult!" This pace would be enviable for an ordinary cultivator in the Divine Strength Realm. S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. For an ordinary cultivator in the later stages of the Divine Strength Realm, not breaking through a minor realm in thirty to fifty years was quite common. It was only with the combined factors that Su Xing was able to improve so quickly, achieving in one year what took others several years. But Su Xing was not entirely satisfied, pondering to himself: "At this rate, I''m afraid it would take at least thirty years to cultivate to Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm... This means that I won''t be able to achieve the Body Refinement Cultivation Level of Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm in this simulation!" Su Xing felt somewhat disheartened at this thought, as reaching from the ninth to Great Perfection would mean wasting an additional opportunity to choose a simulation reward. And each simulation reward choice was precious to Su Xing. Su Xing carefully considered for a moment, trying to recall any methods that could further speed up his Body Cultivation progress. Suddenly, a light shone in Su Xing''s eyes, and he murmured: "Perhaps, if I could consume Flesh Essence from the Royal Clan demonic beasts every day, my Body Cultivation pace would surely speed up further!" "Then, maybe I could raise my Cultivation Level to the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm within the twenty-five-year simulation period!" "But how could I obtain more Flesh Essence from the Royal Clan demonic beasts?" Su Xing fell into deep thought. Royal Clan demonic beasts were different from ordinary ones; they were not only rarer but also stronger. But the biggest difference was... Royal Clan demonic beasts were far more intelligent, nearly indistinguishable from humans! Chapter 189: Chapter 146 Human Sword Perfect, Strength Skyrockets! (5k)_2 ```"It seems... those Royal Clan Demonic Beasts all admire strength and care about their own reputation... they wish to challenge the strong to prove themselves!" ``` Su Xing''s eyes lit up, and he already had a plan in his mind. ``` "Then, let''s try this..." ``` He looked toward the simulation panel. ``` [After breaking through to the eighth layer of the Divine Strength Realm, you decide to be more high-profile, in order to attract more Royal Clan Demonic Beasts to challenge you!] ``` ``` [One day, you encounter a Royal Clan Demonic Beast from the Rhinoceros tribe; you fight with it for three hours and ultimately defeat it!] ``` ``` [After defeating this Rhinoceros tribe Royal Clan Demonic Beast, you do not kill it but look at it with disdain, proclaiming that the Royal Clan is nothing but weaklings, sparing its life.

Seeing this, Su Xing''s expression turned somewhat excited. Indeed, just as he had anticipated, consuming Royal Clan Demonic Beast Flesh Essence greatly accelerated the pace of cultivation compared to that of an ordinary Demon Emperor. It had taken him eleven whole years to advance from the seventh to the eighth layer of the Divine Strength Realm. Yet it had taken just a mere seven years to progress from the eighth to the ninth layer! The pace of cultivation had increased by no small margin! Additionally, the power of Sword Intent gave Su Xing quite a shock. Before, although his swordsmanship was decent, he sorely lacked methods for attacking multiple enemies at once. But now, having grasped Sword Intent, he could unleash sword radiance, which not only had an extremely long range but was also powerful enough to shatter armies of Demonic Beasts! ``` "Tch tch, a single surge of sword radiance can kill hundreds of Grandmaster Level Demonic Beasts... Indeed, to a true strong one, numbers are useless!" ``` Su Xing felt some emotion. Clearly, if Su Xing were strong enough, reaching Return to Void, Integration Phase, Mahayana... or even achieving Immortality, these endless Demonic Beasts at Demon-Subduing Pass might seem insignificant in Su Xing''s eyes. ``` "In the end, it still comes down to needing greater strength!" Chapter 190: Chapter 146 Human Sword Perfect, Strength Skyrockets! (5k)_3 Su Xing sighed with emotion and felt a bit of curiosity."Divine Strength Realm Nine Layers, strength reaching fifty thousand tons, strength increased by thirty percent... With my current strength, I wonder if I can try to battle against two royal clan Demon Emperors?" There was some anticipation in Su Xing''s heart. "It took a full seven years to advance from the eighth to the ninth layer of the Divine Strength Realm, and now, with less than seven years left until the twenty-five-year deadline, it might be difficult to achieve complete mastery of the Divine Strength Realm..." "But if I could cultivate the Human Sword to perfection, fully grasp the Sword Intent, its enhancement to my strength would still be considerable!" With these thoughts, Su Xing looked towards the simulation panel. [In the nineteenth year, after breaking through to the ninth layer of the Divine Strength Realm, you had unprecedented confidence in yourself, believing that beneath the legendary level, you had few rivals.] [Therefore, you released a message, stating that since the Demon Race had no strong opponents, you were willing to challenge two royal clan Demon Emperors at the same time.] [As soon as the message was released, it provoked a strong reaction from the Demon Race, and those of the royal clan took great pride in their honor. They saw your action as an insult to them.] [Consequently, the Demon Race issued a bounty on you, with not only traitors from the Descending Sect launching assassination attempts at you but also legendary level Demonic Beasts making repeated attempts to slay you.] [Fortunately, you held a high status among the Human Race, not only protected by the legendary figure Luo Shuying, but even the legendary warriors from the military were covertly watching over you.] [Thus, those legendary level Demonic Beasts were intercepted by them, allowing you a relatively fair fighting environment.] [In the twentieth year, after your continuous provocations, finally, two royal clan Demonic Beasts agreed to join forces to challenge you.] [They were a ferocious Rhino Clan beast and a speedy Lion Clan beast!] [You had already slain many from the Rhino Clan and knew their racial abilities like the back of your hand, but the Lion Clan was notoriously swift, making them quite troublesome for you to deal with.] [However, you were very confident in your strength, believing that even when facing two royal clan Demon Emperors, there would be no threat to your life.] [Thus, under the pressure of the two royal clan Demon Emperors, you began to hone your swordsmanship.] [Yet, you still underestimated the pressure from the two royal clan Demon Emperors; under their joint offensive, you were nearly forced into a passive defense, unable to mount an effective counterattack.] [In the first battle, you and the two royal clan Demon Emperors fought for an entire day and night, and you were wounded in dozens of places.] [You felt that if it continued this way, you would truly die here, but thankfully, Luo Shuying arrived just in time to assist you, and you returned to Demon-Subduing Pass.] [Over the following month, you healed your wounds within Demon-Subduing Pass. Although you lost to the two Demon Emperors, your grasp of swordsmanship improved rapidly.] [Within this month, you invoked the talent "The Great Wisdom in Foolishness," keeping yourself in a state of seeming ignorance.] [Once your injuries were healed, you once again challenged the same two royal clan Demon Emperors.] [As expected, compared to the previous disarray, this time you managed much more smoothly.] [And with the blessing of the Great Wisdom State, your comprehension soared, and your understanding of Sword Intent progressively and rapidly improved.] [This battle lasted a full three days and three nights, and in the end, you narrowly lost to the combined forces of the two Demon Emperors.] [You returned once again to Demon-Subduing Pass to heal, and for the next month, you remained in a state of feigned simplicity.] [After your injuries had healed, you sought out the two royal clan Demon Emperors once again.] [The great battle was imminent, and in the state of Great Wisdom, your comprehension of Sword Intent improved bit by bit over time.] [From being completely overwhelmed in the first battle to now being evenly matched!] [Relying on your unparalleled swordsmanship, you were now able to fight alone against two royal clan Demon Emperors without falling behind at all.] [And the Demon Emperors of the Ferocious Rhinoceros Tribe and the Yellow Lion Tribe were shocked, they racked their brains and still could not comprehend how your strength could have improved so massively in a mere three months!] [Thus, the great battle endured for three days and three nights.] [It was only after the Great Wisdom State had ended that you calmly returned to the Demon-Subduing Pass to begin healing your wounds.] [Compared to before, the injuries you suffered this time were much lighter, and you had fully recovered in just under a week. With the remaining time, you accumulated "The Great Wisdom in Foolishness" duration while refining some elixirs.] Su Xing, seeing this, slight smile tugging at his lips, said: "Haha, I''ve turned the Royal Clan Demon Emperors into tools for grinding swordsmanship experience, huh!" "Through the boost of the Great Wisdom State, my comprehension of Sword Intent progressed by leaps and bounds each day, and maintaining the state of ''The Great Wisdom in Foolishness'' during recovery did not affect the healing of my injuries!" "It really is killing two birds with one stone!" Su Xing, feeling a surge of excitement, thought that at this rate, he might soon be able to defeat both Royal Clan Demon Emperors at once and achieve a breakthrough in the Unity of Man and Sword! With this in mind, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [A month later, you found those two Royal Clan Demon Emperors once again, and a battle was imminent!] [This time, you were overwhelmingly dominating the two Demon Emperors throughout the fight. Despite their numerical advantage, they were brought to the brink of disaster by your swordsmanship.] [But these two Demon Emperors were not weak, they adopted a tactic of trading blow for blow!] [Demonic Beasts'' huge bodies possess a regenerative capability far beyond what the Human Race can match, and these were two Royal Clan Demon Emperors, whose healing powers far surpassed that of ordinary Demon Race.] [Even though you were a Body Refinement Cultivator, the speed of your injury recovery was still slightly inferior to theirs.] [The battle lasted for three days and nights, and in the end, you and the two beasts were all covered in blood!] [The wounds you suffered were severe, but the two Demon Emperors were also gravely injured.] [Seeing that the two Royal Clan Demon Emperors were contemplating retreat, wanting to flee the battlefield.] [But you had no intention of letting them have their way. Should they escape this time, you probably would not have another opportunity to refine your swordsmanship like this.] [So, fate hanging by a thread from your grievous injuries, you unleashed one last Sword Intent!] [This strike was the most powerful you had ever delivered. Even though you were weighed down by serious wounds, the Sword Intent encapsulated an unstoppable conviction, holding no fear of life or death, which far exceeded your past self!] [With one swing, mountains crumbled, and the earth split open, leaving a chasm hundreds of meters long and bottomless on the ground!] [That strike shattered the final resolve of the two Demon Emperors!] [The sword light swept across the body of the Ferocious Rhinoceros Tribe''s Demon Emperor, bisecting it with one cut, its life and dao extinguished.] [As you watched the descent of your blade, your mind seemed to ponder, and you entered a mysterious state.] [There was no time to care about anything else; you immediately retreated into the Spirit Field Blessed Land.] [Embracing this profound moment of enlightenment, you began to practice swordsmanship, forgetful of all else.] [This enlightenment persisted for one day and one night!] [A day later, when you came to, you discovered to your astonishment that your Human Sword had finally reached perfection!] [At the same time, you had completely mastered Sword Intent!] Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"This simulation, with less than five years left, it seems unrealistic to expect a breakthrough to Great Perfection in the Divinity Transformation Stage..." "However, achieving perfection in the Human Sword is a pleasant surprise, and has significantly boosted my combat strength!" With the Human Sword perfected and Sword Intent comprehended, Su Xing could even combat two Royal Clan Demon Emperors alone! Such strength made facing Damned Zong not a guarantee of victory but very close to it. His gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [After comprehending Sword Intent, you did not linger, but instead returned to the heart of the Demon-Subduing Pass.] [Next, you were far from slack, casting your sights on the Earth Sword within the Three Talents Sword Technique.] [The Earth Sword, borrowing the power of heaven and earth, can lead to victory over Legendary combatants if one achieves great skill!] [However, the cultivation of the Earth Sword is much more challenging than you imagined; previously you had merely memorized the training method but failed to grasp its underlying principles.] [So, you had to spend a great deal of time comprehending the path of the Earth Sword.] [In the twenty-first year, you spent four hours every day fighting enemies within the Demon-Subduing Pass to alleviate the pressure on the soldiers, dedicating the rest of your time to grasping the essentials of the Earth Sword''s cultivation.] [Gradually, you grasped the basics of the Earth Sword, further enhancing your swordsmanship.] [In the twenty-second year, your comprehension of the Earth Sword deepened; though not yet a master, you moved beyond rote memory to a genuine understanding of its profound mysteries.] [In the twenty-third year, you faced the enemy on the battlefield with your sword, deepening your comprehension of the Earth Sword through real combat.] [In the twenty-fourth year, your cultivation level remained at the ninth layer of the Divine Strength Realm even if you consumed the Flesh Essence of Demon Emperors daily, realizing that a breakthrough was hopeless, so you focused even more on understanding the Earth Sword.] [In the twenty-fifth year, the situation at the Demon-Subduing Pass grew increasingly dire; many of the Human Race''s strong fighters died in battle, but fortunately, you alone were the equal of dozens of Martial Emperor combatants, preventing the Pass from falling immediately.] [You continued to grasp the Earth Sword''s cultivation essentials through relentless combat, finally absorbing all the knowledge you had committed to memory, and you mastered the entry-level principles of the Earth Sword.] [That same year, hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts attacked the Demon-Subduing Pass; despite struggling with all your might, you could only barely hold one off, eventually leading to the fall of the Pass, and you died there.] [Your Primordial Spirit left your body but was soon crushed by the Legendary Demon Beast.] [Your Purple Talent ''The Great Wisdom in Foolishness'' activates involuntarily...] [Ding, simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing exhaled deeply. This time, instead of choosing to venture into the Slaughter Battlefield, he decided to steadily enhance his own strength. After all, the Slaughter Battlefield was too dangerous. With Su Xing''s current strength, it was nothing but a waste of effort. At the very least, he would need to possess Legendary Level strength to venture there. "Although I wasn''t able to reach Great Perfection in the Divine Strength Realm, the Human Sword reached perfection, and I''ve made a start on the Earth Sword. All in all, it''s quite good!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, his gaze turning to the rewards of this simulation. [The Great Wisdom in Foolishness]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insight, priced at 500,000 energy points. [Divine Strength Realm Ninth Layer Cultivation Level]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 20 million energy points. [Twenty Years of Combat Experience at the Demon-Subduing Pass]: Enhances one''s combat abilities and slightly increases the comprehension of the intent to slaughter, priced at 10 million energy points. [Three Talents Sword Technique (Human Sword perfected, Earth Sword initiated)]: Contains partial insights into the Immortal-level Sword Cultivator''s Cultivation Technique "Three Talents Sword Technique", including a complete understanding of the first phase, Human Sword, and entry-level comprehension of the second phase, Earth Sword, allowing one to comprehend Sword Intent, priced at 30 million energy points. Su Xing glanced over the reward list, an expression of realization dawning on his face. "It seems that combat experience can be accumulated, huh? Not only does it enhance combat capabilities, but it also improves subsequent comprehension of the intent to slaughter... As for the cost of the required energy, it seems to be determined based on how much it contributes to my improvement..." While Su Xing didn''t know the use of further developing the embryonic form of the intent to slaughter, his intuition told him it would have significant applications in the future. "Besides..." Su Xing''s gaze fixed on the last item, the Three Talents Sword Technique reward, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. "This Three Talents Sword Technique is actually a Sword Cultivator''s Cultivation Technique? It turns out that the swordsmanship texts were right - reaching perfection with the Heavenly Sword can indeed lead one to become a Sword Immortal!" Excitement filled Su Xing''s eyes. This was about becoming a Sword Cultivator! A Sword Cultivator''s path diverges from Body Cultivation and Qi Refinement, focusing on the comprehension of the sword! But once reaching a certain level, a Sword Cultivator can even slay Immortals! "Sword Immortals, among the Immortals, must be exceedingly powerful entities, right?"

Su Xing nodded slightly, not hesitating as he silently declared: "I choose to take with me the talent ''The Great Wisdom in Foolishness'' and the comprehension from cultivating the Three Talents Sword Technique!" [You have successfully taken the Purple Talent ''The Great Wisdom in Foolishness'', spending 1 million energy points, remaining energy points 37.93 million.] [Detection of a similar type of talent ''Quick-minded'', replacing automatically...] [You have successfully brought out the comprehension of the Three Talents Sword Technique (Human Sword perfected, Earth Sword initiated), spending 30 million energy points, remaining energy points 7.93 million.] As the notification sound faded, two mysterious forces entered Su Xing''s body. The next second, numerous memory fragments emerged in Su Xing''s mind. Among these memory fragments were insights into the Human Sword, reaching the level of perfection! By the same token, the parts of the Earth Sword cultivation that Su Xing had memorized began to be gradually understood and deeply comprehended within his mind; although unable to display it yet, his understanding of the Earth Sword had become profound. ``` Chapter 192: Chapter 147: The Shortage of Mimic Energy, Su Xings Plan (5k)_2 Afterward, a mysterious aura rose from Su Xing''s body.Sword Intent! From the weak embryo of Sword Intent, it grew rapidly, and in just a few breaths, Su Xing had completely mastered Sword Intent! Thus, after Su Xing closed his eyes for a long while, he slowly opened them. "So it is... The Human Sword is the sword against the enemy, what is cultivated is Sword Intent, an aura of the sword in my hand, charging forward unabated!" "And the Earth Sword is about leveraging the momentum of heaven and earth, channeling it to the sword in hand, where each move and style brings with it boundless might!" A slight smile appeared at the corner of Su Xing''s mouth. This time''s gains had exceeded his imagination; not only had he perfected the Human Sword to Great Perfection, but he had also gained a deep understanding of the Earth Sword. Afterward, Su Xing glanced at the Ink Ice Sword at his waist, untied it, and held it in his hand, immediately a sense of affinity emerged in his heart. As the Spirit Sword was unsheathed, Su Xing''s aura suddenly shifted, and a windless breeze began circling around him. This continued for a few breaths, yet Su Xing still did not swing the sword in his hand. "Damn, I almost couldn''t help but slash it out! If this sword were to be swung, I fear the entire mountain in the Spirit Field Blessed Land would be split in two, right?" Su Xing patted his chest with some fear. Now, Su Xing was no longer the newbie who had just entered the Cultivation World; he had learned something about the background of the Spirit Field Blessed Land. This Spirit Field Blessed Land was actually a relatively stable small world within a spatial turbulence. This small world maintained a mysterious balance, not to be shattered by the turbulence, and was fairly stable. With Su Xing''s strength, it was naturally impossible for him to destroy the space of the Spirit Field Blessed Land. But within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, the mountains were just ordinary mountains, and if Su Xing were to slash down with his sword, there would be big trouble. Not only would the Spirit Field be ruined in an instant, but even the Spirit Gathering Array in the mountains would likely be damaged. "Speaking of which... my bargain master, Qing Yunzi''s strength is truly unfathomable!" Su Xing felt somewhat emotional and murmured: "Even if the small world of the Spirit Field Blessed Land already existed... but to stabilize it and capture its spatial coordinates, creating a Blessed Land to carry with me... the depth of understanding required for the Great Dao and the power of rules must be extremely profound!" "To possess such might... Only the Immortals of legend could manage that, right?" Su Xing remembered that Qing Yunzi had once mentioned the words ''Three Thousand Worlds''. Perhaps, Qing Yunzi was one of those supreme beings capable of traveling between the various worlds? "If I had my bargain master''s abilities, what would there be to fear from the Demon Race at Demon-Subduing Pass?" For a moment, Su Xing felt envious, but then he shook his head. The simulator was an opportunity against the heavens. With this golden finger, as long as Su Xing was willing to lie low and develop, expelling the Demon Race and surpassing Qing Yunzi was just a matter of time. "Alas, although the simulator allows for rapid strength improvement, the spending is like running water!" "Now, I have less than ten million energy points left in the simulator... I can''t even afford the energy required for the next simulation breakthrough to Divinity Transformation!" After calculating a bit, Su Xing found that he needed thirty million points of energy to reach the completion of the Divine Strength Realm. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And the Tarot Commerce Association could only provide goods worth about fifteen million energy points per week, together with the few million energy points left, he was still a large gap away from thirty million! Thinking of this, Su Xing''s face fell once again as he sighed: "Alas, killing and plundering treasures is indeed the fastest way to make money!" "After robbing the Black Dragon Guild, I got more than a hundred million energy points at once, how long would it take to save up that much on my own?" Su Xing felt somewhat helpless, contemplating whether he could make another round to the Black Dragon Guild to capitalize on their resources. But doing such things too often could lead to discovery, and who could walk beside the river without getting their shoes wet? Just then, Su Xing suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out two jade boxes from the storage ring. Upon opening the jade boxes, a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out. Thousand-year ginseng, thousand-year Lingzhi! "Right, I almost forgot about this! Over at the Baili Business Association, there are instance dungeon items worth several hundred million energy points!" A gleam appeared in Su Xing''s eyes. In a previous simulation, he had exchanged a supreme Life Extension Pill with Baili Qi for a large batch of instance dungeon items, which were probably worth several hundred million energy points! The only pity was that after selling the Life Extension Pill, Su Xing had exposed himself and ended up attracting quite a bit of trouble. However, in the following simulation, when Su Xing tried to trade while in disguise, the Baili Business Association still managed to insert a tracker in the goods and discovered the ploy. "However! In the simulation, I did not use the simulator''s powers... Yet in real life, as long as I exchange all those items into energy... "Heh, how then will you cope? I don''t believe you can find my location once all the goods are gone!" After contemplating for a while, Su Xing started to consider the feasibility of trading with Baili Qi. He soon arrived at a conclusion. It was feasible! But careful planning was necessary! Su Xing thought for a moment and then took out a map of the Great Xia Country. Kyoto, located in the north of the Great Xia Country, is the financial center of the north. And Guang Province is at the southernmost point of the Great Xia Country, more than ten thousand kilometers apart from each other! Su Xing carefully examined the map and began to plan the best route to Guang Province. "Hmm, if I rely on my cultivation level to rush on my journey, I will need to rest along the way, and it might take two or three days to reach... But in doing so, a big living person flying in the sky is too eye-catching..." Chapter 193: Chapter 147: The Shortage of Mimic Energy, Su Xings Plan (5k)_3 ```"But if we take a plane directly to Guang Province, it will probably take about a day... The problem is that flight information can be easily discovered, leaving traces and clues!" Su Xing pointed at several cities on the map with his finger and quickly found the most secure method. S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Perhaps, we could first take a plane to a city near Guang Province and then cover the remaining few hundred kilometers on foot; that would be the most covert!" Su Xing nodded slightly, put away the map, and looked at the medicinal herbs in front of him. "Then next, it''s time to concoct the Life Extension Pill!" A thought struck Su Xing, and he took out the Pill Furnace, beginning the alchemy process for the elixirs. The concoction of the Life Extension Pill was not difficult, ranking as simple among the lower-grade elixirs. The challenge lay in the rarity of the ingredients, with millennium ginseng, fleece-flower root, and other herbs being scarce in the mundane world. He placed the ingredients inside, added an appropriate amount of Spiritual Spring water, and utilized the Spiritual Energy to stimulate the process... In less than two hours, Su Xing had crafted a batch of enticing, rounded Life Extension Pills. With the completion of the alchemy, Su Xing opened the Pill Furnace, and his eyes lit up. "Lucky day! A total of seven pills, and among them, there are actually three top-quality Life Extension Pills!" The Life Extension Pills were the size of a dragon''s eye, presenting a light green color and exuding a rich vitality. Su Xing quickly took out a jade box to store the pills, preventing the medicinal properties from dissipating. Afterward, Su Xing spent another half hour concocting a batch of "Voice-Changing Pills." The Voice-Changing Pill was a trivial thing with no rank, designed to let one freely alter their voice. Even a man could emit a woman''s voice without any detectable abnormality. Combined with the Breath-Concealing Pill and Disguise Pill, not even the Heavenly King himself would be able to discover Su Xing''s identity! Having done all this, Su Xing exited the Spirit Field Blessed Land, took out his phone, and prepared to buy a plane ticket to Fudong Province, which was the closest to Guang Province. But after some searching, he found that the tickets from Kyoto to Fudong Province were sold out. Su Xing was momentarily stunned and exclaimed, "Damn, overlooked that detail!" Just then, a text message from Jin Congxue arrived on Su Xing''s phone. "Boss, I''m heading back to Jinling City now~ Bye~" Upon reading this message, a notion struck Su Xing, and he inquired: "How are you getting back to Jinling City?" Jin Congxue replied instantly: "Of course, by private plane~ (wink.jpg)" Indeed, such outrageous extravagance! Su Xing checked the tickets from Jinling City to Fudong Province. As expected, there were tickets for tonight''s flight! Thus, Su Xing replied to Jin Congxue: "Wait for me a bit, I have something to do in Jinling City. Can I hitch a ride?" Jin Congxue responded promptly: "Sure! Waiting for you~" So Su Xing quickly packed up and headed to the location agreed upon with Jin Congxue. The plane soon took off... Inside the luxurious private plane, Jin Congxue lounged in her homely pajamas, looking incredibly lazy and seductive. "Yo, big boss... What''s keeping you busy in Jinling City?" Seeing Jin Congxue''s seductive face, Su Xing coughed lightly, feeling it best that she remains unaware for the time being, so he said: "Cough, cough, nothing much... just going out for some fun..." Jin Congxue knew Su Xing was brushing her off, so she rolled her eyes and didn''t inquire further. Throughout the journey, Su Xing and Jin Congxue chatted off and on, with their relationship warming up once again. The plane soon arrived in Jinling City. After a brief farewell with Jin Congxue, Su Xing headed non-stop to the airport. ... Several hours later, Su Xing appeared in the mountains of Fudong Province. He looked up at the sky; it was just the early afternoon. Su Xing then began to disguise himself, swallowing a Disguise Pill, a Voice-Changing Pill, and a Breath-Concealing Pill, and using the special techniques of a Body Refinement Cultivator, he slightly altered his skeletal structure and height. Minutes later, Su Xing''s appearance had completely transformed, with not a trace of his original self visible. After making sure nothing had been overlooked, Su Xing set off in the right direction, hurrying towards Guang Province. An hour later, Su Xing arrived outside the Baili Estate and took in the sight of the luxurious complex, feeling somewhat emotional. "Worthy of a top-tier business association, the heritage of a thousand-year-old family... That extravagantly inhuman aura!" After a brief reflection, Su Xing released his Divine Sense, and the movements within the Baili Estate became crystal clear to him in an instant. "Sheesh, worthy of a top-tier business association. I didn''t expect that within the Baili Estate there would be three Martial Emperor level powerhouses in hiding!" Su Xing had a thought, realizing such a top-level association would naturally have its own trump cards and dependencies. Martial Emperor level powerhouses were almost the pinnacle of public strength for the Human Race; those above Legendary Level rarely acted. And these Martial Emperors were evidently the Baili Business Association''s retainers. Whether high-priced hires or nurtured from within their own lineage. "Indeed, there''s nothing simple about top-tier business associations!" With a light sigh, Su Xing began to search for the chief of the Baili Estate, Baili Qi''s presence. A short while later, in the deepest part of the Baili Estate, Su Xing detected a decaying presence, indicating a life nearing its end. "Hmm... Judging by this aura, he must have lived for over five hundred years. His time is running out, and it seems he has been sustained until today by taking a variety of life-prolonging medicines... This must be Baili Tu!" Su Xing had a thought, sneaking quietly into the mansion towards Baili Tu''s location. Soon, Su Xing reached the outside of Baili Tu''s room, circumvented two Heavenly King level guards with ease, and slipped into the house. Looking at the withered old man lying on the bed, his life force flickering like a dying flame, Su Xing mused: "This must be the current head of the Baili family, Baili Tu, right?" Just as Su Xing was about to beat others to the punch and negotiate a deal with Baili Tu. Unexpectedly, the spent and near-death Baili Tu suddenly opened his eyes, and his faint voice reached Su Xing''s ears. "I wonder why the elder has come in person... what is the matter?" ``` Chapter 194: Chapter 148: Breaking Into the Manor of Baili Alone, the Number One Legend! (5k) Su Xing''s heart turned cold when he heard these words.Indeed, to become the power behind a top merchant association, you had to be no ordinary character. Despite looking as if he was at the end of his tether, Baili Tu still had a few tricks up his sleeve, capable of detecting Su Xing''s arrival. Su Xing did not act rashly and merely watched Baili Tu quietly. Confronted by a strange, powerful intruder in his bedroom, Baili Tu didn''t panic. He struggled to sit up from the bed and looked at Su Xing, saying, "What brings you here, sir?" "If it''s money you want, my Baili family has considerable wealth. I am willing to offer you a sum, which I believe will satisfy you!" "But if it''s for this old man''s life putting aside that I don''t have long to live and you needn''t bother to take action... Moreover, my Baili family has its experts, and since you''ve entered my bedroom, they must already be aware of it..." He paused, his tone bearing a hint of threat, and continued. "If you leave now, there''s still time... Otherwise, even if you kill me, it won''t be a profitable exchange for you..." Su Xing remained silent upon hearing this, but internally he marveled at Baili Tu''s courage and insight. After a moment''s silence, Su Xing said, "I am here for a trade..." Upon hearing this, the deep furrow in Baili Tu''s brow relaxed slightly as he inquired, "What trade are you referring to, sir?" Su Xing did not speak but flicked his finger, and a green elixir landed in Baili Tu''s hand. The moment the Life Extension Pill touched Baili Tu''s palm, his complexion changed subtly, and an excited flush of color appeared on his originally pale face. Although Baili Tu did not recognize the Life Extension Pill, the sheer vitality exuding from the elixir allowed him to surmise that it was meant to extend one''s lifespan! And as Baili Tu himself had only a few days left to live, this Life Extension Pill was a priceless treasure to him; how could he not be exhilarated? "Is... is this an elixir for extending life!?" No longer composed, Baili Tu''s voice was laden with considerable excitement. Su Xing nodded slightly, and said succinctly, "This is a Life-Extension Pill, it can extend your life by five years!" "What, five years of life!?" Baili Tu''s eyes flashed with unprecedented desire. As the head of the Baili family, Baili Tu''s resources and connections were substantial, and over the years he had used various lifespan-extending items. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. From those that extended life by several months to several years. However, the more often such items were used, the stronger the resistance to them became. Baili Tu, a Heavenly King Level fighter, had lived for over five hundred and fifty years, having tried almost all lifespan-extending items available. But still unable to break through to the Martial Emperor Level, he had hence given up and was waiting for death. Now, a Life Extension Pill that could prolong life by five years was an astounding surprise, and if he could achieve a breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Level within those five years, he would have several hundred more years to live. With this thought, Baili Tu promptly swallowed the Life Extension Pill. Su Xing was taken aback for a moment; what was with Baili Tu recklessly eating things? Thus, Su Xing asked in confusion, "Aren''t you afraid that this could be poison, swallowing it just like that?" After hearing this, Baili Tu laughed, his wrinkled face quivering as he said, "Heh, in my current state, what''s the point of taking poison?" "Besides, if you wanted to harm me, why would you need to offer an elixir? It would be superfluous." Su Xing nodded slightly, acknowledging internally that the old man indeed had some guts. He then asked, "Aren''t you afraid that you won''t be able to pay the price I ask for having consumed the Life Extension Pill prematurely?" Baili Tu laughed heartily at this, "Sir, I dare not boast about other things... But the Baili family is quite wealthy, and the Baili Business Association is among the top five in the entire Great Xia Country..." "Whatever you require whether it''s precious equipment, endless wealth, power, beautiful women... I can fulfill it!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing shook his head slightly, saying, "No, I don''t want any of these. I want the Instance Dungeon Items that your son, Baili Qi, has been collecting over the years!" As if he had not heard clearly, Baili Tu replied incredulously, "What did you say, sir? You mean... you want those useless Instance Dungeon trashes?" Su Xing nodded slightly, "Yes, I want those Instance Dungeon trashes!" Upon confirmation, a strange look appeared on Baili Tu''s face, clearly, he did not expect Su Xing''s request to be so bizarre. After all, there was a reason Instance Dungeon Items were dubbed "Instance Dungeon trash." While some unrealistic low-level adventurers harbored hopes of finding astounding treasures among such trash, such events were exceedingly rare, perhaps not even once in several centuries. The odds were even lower than winning a five-hundred-million-dollar lottery jackpot. Even Baili Tu had repeatedly rebuked Baili Qi for his peculiar hobby. But what Baili Tu never expected was, one day, Baili Qi''s eccentric collecting habit would save his life. While Baili Tu was still in astonishment, changes began to rapidly take place in his body. The Life Extension Pill was taking effect! Suddenly, the once frail and dwindling Baili Tu began to surge with strength, his wrinkled skin gradually became smooth, and in just a few minutes he appeared to have grown a decade younger, his spirit significantly improved as well. Baili Tu quickly noticed the subtle changes in his body, his face radiating with joy. He therefore hastily asked, "Sir, when shall we begin the trade?" Hearing this, Su Xing spoke in a low voice, "The sooner the better!" Baili Tu nodded in agreement, then offered as if seeking Su Xing''s consent, "Shall I notify my son to come over now?" Chapter 195: Chapter 148: Breaking Into the Manor of Baili Alone, the Number One Legend! (5k)_2 Su Xing nodded slightly.Soon, Baili Tu summoned Baili Qi, and with him came several middle-aged men with powerful auras. All three Martial Emperor Level patrons of the Baili Business Association had arrived! "Father, father, how are you? Has this villain not done anything to you?" A round and plump man tumbled and scrambled into the bedroom, then stood protectively behind Baili Tu. When Su Xing saw this chubby man, he was taken aback, clearly not expecting Baili Qi to look like this. Dressed in a short-sleeved shirt with cartoon characters printed on it and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, he was less than 1.7 meters tall, but weighed at least 200 kilograms! "Damn, this is totally the look of a fat otaku, isn''t it?" Su Xing silently ridiculed in his heart. However, after verifying that Baili Tu was unharmed, Baili Qi waved his hand dismissively. Suddenly, a Martial Emperor Level patron stepped forward and, without saying a word, threw a punch at Su Xing. Seeing this, Su Xing narrowed his eyes and, without any hesitation, threw a punch to meet it. Boom! In that instant, a sound akin to a mountain collapsing spread throughout the entire Baili residence. The shockwave from their punches sent all the tables and chairs in the room flying. At the end of that single punch, the Martial Emperor Level powerhouse grunted and staggered back dozens of steps, tumbling into the courtyard before he could finally come to a halt. In contrast, Su Xing moved back only half a step, his expression unchanged. "How dare you!" "Impudence! This is the Baili residence; do you really think you can behave so recklessly here?" The other two Martial Emperor Level patrons immediately lost their temper, seeming ready to gang up and attack Su Xing. The atmosphere instantly became as tense as a standoff. Just then, Baili Tu barked out: "Impudence! Everyone back off! This elder is my friend; how dare you all act so recklessly?" After speaking, Baili Tu slapped Baili Qi''s chubby face and scolded: "You unfilial son, how could you attack an elder without any explanation?" "Hurry up and apologize to the elder!" Without offering any defense, Baili Qi immediately bowed to Su Xing and sincerely said: "Elder, I acted rashly just now out of concern for my father, and almost made a grave mistake. Please punish me as you see fit!" Watching the father and son play good cop, bad cop in this act, Su Xing didn''t call them out but just sneered and said: "Heh, have you probed enough already?" "It''s time to get down to business. Where are the items I want?" Upon hearing this, an awkward expression appeared on Baili Qi''s face, but Baili Tu, obviously thicker-skinned, only said: "Elder, the item you''re looking for, I''ll have my unworthy son take you to get it right away!" Su Xing nodded slightly and stood quietly on the side, waiting. Su Xing knew that if not for a sign from his father, Baili Qi would never have allowed a Martial Emperor strongman to strike directly. In Su Xing''s mind, Baili Tu''s actions probably had two purposes. First, if Su Xing was strong enough, Baili Tu indeed had no assurance that he could hold on to Su Xing. Then the deal they had discussed before would certainly stand, and Baili Tu would politely present the Instance Dungeon Items, even going so far as to try and curry favor with Su Xing. Second, if Su Xing was not as strong as that Martial Emperor, then Baili Tu would likely turn hostile on the spot. He would want not only to capture Su Xing but also to extract the secret of the Life Extension Pills Su Xing held in his possession! After all, an elixir that could extend life by five years, how could Baili Tu not be tempted? That simple exchange of blows just now was actually a game of wits between Su Xing and Baili Tu. Baili Tu relied on his cunning experience and deep schemes, while Su Xing, of course, relied on his confidence in his own strength! Being nearly invincible under the legendary level is not just something said for fun! But to return to the main topic, Baili Tu cheerfully said to Baili Qi: "Good lad, the elder is interested in your Instance Dungeon Items. Now, hurry up and give all those broken toys to the elder!" Just a second ago, Baili Qi, still smiling, had a change of expression upon hearing this, his face immediately turning into a mask of pain. He cast a furtive glance at Su Xing, then whispered in Baili Tu''s ear: "Dad, why don''t we just finish it once and for all and take him out? That way, we can reap the benefits, and I won''t lose my treasures..." Baili Tu instantly became furious upon hearing this, truly angry this time, nearly slapping his son''s teeth out with a smack. Baili Tu then scolded: "You unfilial son, quickly hand over all the Instance Dungeon Items!" Upon hearing this, Baili Qi felt wronged and tried to defend himself: "Old man, those treasures took me over twenty years to collect... I can''t bear to give them away just like that." Seeing the father and son looking like they were about to quarrel, Su Xing''s interest was piqued, and he stood by watching the drama unfold. Sure enough, Baili Tu''s old face was red with anger as he scolded: "You unfilial son, you unfilial son!" "What''s more important, your trashy Instance Dungeon Items or your father''s life? You decide for yourself!" Upon hearing Baili Tu''s rebuke, Baili Qi indeed showed a look of hesitation on his face, as if he was truly weighing whether his treasures were more important than his father''s life. Seeing this, Baili Tu was so angry he nearly spat out blood, slapping him several times more before scolding aloud: "Go now!"

Baili Qi still didn''t move, and even had the nerve to argue: "Old man, you''ve already lived for over five hundred years, you''ve pretty much lived long enough!" "But I''ve only lived for a little over fifty years. Those treasures are half a lifetime''s hard work for me!" Chapter 196: Chapter 148: Breaking Into the Manor of Baili Alone, the Number One Legend! (5k)_3 Baili Tu: "..."Seeing that neither father nor son was willing to step back, Su Xing finally lost his patience and said in a low voice, "If Young Master Baili is reluctant to part with the treasures, offering just half of them would suffice!" Upon hearing this, Baili Qi''s face visibly brightened, and he cast a smug glance at his father. He then bowed to Su Xing and said, "Senior, in that case, I will take you to see those treasures...ahem, just to make it clear in advance, I will only give you half!" Although Su Xing was laughing inwardly, he maintained a frosty facade and replied, "Agreed!" Soon, Su Xing and Baili Qi walked towards the warehouse where the Instance Dungeon Items were stored. After the two left, Baili Tu''s countenance was solemn, and he seemed lost in thought. After a moment of silence, Baili Tu suddenly called out, "Afu, come here!" "Master, what are your orders?" The Martial Emperor who had sparred with Su Xing earlier approached and asked in a deep voice. S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Baili Tu inquired, "Afu, what do you think of that mysterious person''s strength just now?" Afu fell silent for a moment, then stretched out his right hand to roll up his sleeve. His entire right hand was swollen red and almost unable to make a fist, with his whole arm oddly bent. Afu stated, "Master, that senior''s strength...is unfathomable! Our Baili family must not become an enemy to him!" "With just one punch, my right arm is as good as useless. It won''t recover for over a year!" "Moreover, I have a hunch... that senior probably didn''t even use his full strength!" Upon hearing this, Baili Tu became even more reticent. Afu was an old member of the Baili family, having lived for more than five hundred years, and his strength had entered the late stages of Martial Emperor. He was a Martial Emperor mighty warrior nurtured by the Baili family himself, the strongest among the three Martial Emperors. Moreover, Afu was a practitioner of the strength-based profession, with physical prowess as his forte. Nevertheless, in the exchange with Su Xing earlier, Afu took the lead and seized the initiative, yet he was still defeated by Su Xing in one move, even sustaining a ruined arm. This clearly showed Su Xing''s extraordinary strength! After a lengthy silence, Baili Tu murmured, "Alas, when did such a formidable warrior appear in Great Xia Country?" "To defeat a late-stage Martial Emperor with a single punch, this power... might not be far off from legendary status!" Baili Tu knew of Afu''s strength, and for that reason, he felt even more apprehensive about Su Xing''s abilities. "Such a powerful figure, if my Baili family could foster a good relationship with him, he could probably preserve the Baili family''s prosperity for another thousand years!" Baili Tu lamented, but then immediately thought of his disappointing son and his face darkened again. "After this incident concludes, we must find a way to draw in this mysterious powerful individual, even if we can''t make him our own... we should still strive to befriend him!" Baili Tu murmured to himself. Meanwhile, Su Xing followed Baili Qi to a warehouse. As they opened the large warehouse door, Su Xing was quickly astounded by what was stored inside. The warehouse was over ten meters tall and covered several hundred square meters, filled with variously colored shelves. On those shelves were placed all kinds of bizarre Instance Dungeon Items, each seemingly meticulously cleaned, and even their arrangement was carefully considered, making for a pleasing and orderly sight. Su Xing swept a glance around the warehouse and then frowned slightly. "Something''s not right! The amount of Instance Dungeon Items in this warehouse... they seem plentiful, but in fact, there aren''t that many, maybe even comparable to half a year''s output from the Jin Merchant Guild?" "Could it be that this is all Baili Qi has collected over dozens of years?" Estimating the value, Su Xing thought that the entire warehouse of items amounted to about a hundred million in energy. Split in half, that would only be fifty million. With this in mind, Su Xing felt somewhat uneasy. At that moment, Baili Qi said somewhat proudly, "Senior, look! These treasures are what I''ve painstakingly collected over the years!" Hearing this, Su Xing frowned slightly and said, "Is this all you have collected over the years?" Upon hearing this, Baili Qi waved his hand and said, "How could that be? These are just one-tenth of it!" After saying this, Baili Qi stepped forward a few steps, opened a hidden compartment, and from within, took out over a hundred Storage Rings. Baili Qi said, "Senior, these are all of my treasures! Just to remind you, you can only take half!" After that, Baili Qi counted out more than fifty Storage Rings and handed them to Su Xing. Without being polite, Su Xing inspected them briefly, and with a thought, he stowed all the Storage Rings into the Spirit Field Blessed Land. At this, the corners of Su Xing''s mouth lifted slightly. "Since the trade has been completed, I shall not stay any longer," he said. After saying this, Su Xing prepared to leave. After walking out from the Baili residence, Su Xing heard Baili Tu calling from behind. "Senior, wait a moment, please!" Baili Tu, followed by several Martial Emperors, hurried out, causing Su Xing to slow down. Baili Tu quickly said, "Senior, might you stay a little longer for a talk? You saved my life... it''s only proper for our Baili family to offer you a great banquet in gratitude!" However, Su Xing shook his head slightly, "No need. Since the deal is already done, I must be on my way!" Having said this, Su Xing leaped up, ready to leave. From behind, Baili Tu called out loudly, "Senior, will there be another opportunity for us to cooperate in the future? How may I contact you?" Without turning his head, Su Xing''s voice echoed in the air. "You should continue collecting Instance Dungeon Items. When the time is right, I will make my appearance!" After saying this, Su Xing did not linger and disappeared into the distance. Seeing Su Xing leave, Baili Tu felt somewhat saddened and exclaimed, "Alas, this senior is unfathomable... If we can''t form a good relationship with him, it would be a great loss for our Baili family!" Witnessing Baili Tu''s troubled look, Baili Qi couldn''t help but laugh to himself and said, "Father, let me tell you something..." "Previously, to prevent someone from stealing my treasures, I placed tracking devices in each Storage Ring. We might just be able to discover where the senior lives and his identity!" Hearing Baili Qi''s words, Baili Tu''s eyes lit up as he eagerly asked, "Is that true?" "Hahaha, you unfilial son, after so many years, you''ve finally done something dependable!" Chapter 197: Chapter 149: 500 Million Energy, Assassination from Legend! (5k) The story has two sides.On the other side, after leaving Baili Mansion, Su Xing traveled overnight to Fudong Province without stopping for rest. Once he made sure that no one was following him, Su Xing decisively entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land. Taking out a large batch of storage rings, Su Xing excitedly muttered to himself: "With so many Instance Dungeon Items, just how much energy could they be worth!?" Su Xing took out a storage ring and silently thought: "Exchange for simulation energy!" [Ding, detected materials containing energy, worth a total of 9,870,000 energy points. Absorb?] "Yes!" Su Xing said decisively, and then he took out another ring. [Ding, detected materials containing energy, worth a total of 12,030,000 energy points. Absorb?] [Ding, detected materials containing... worth a total of 8,570,000 energy points. Absorb?] "Yes, yes, yes..." Su Xing continuously took out rings, and along with the Instance Dungeon Items, all were exchanged into simulation energy. "Hehe, young master even let you absorb the storage rings, now let''s see how you''re gonna find me?" Su Xing chuckled mischievously, and in the following minutes, he watched the simulation panel''s energy soar. "In the end, just how much energy is there?" After the exchange, Su Xing looked at the energy on the simulation panel and started to giggle foolishly. "Hundred... million... billion!" A total of 480 million energy points! "Goodness, with so much energy, I have more than enough to raise my Qi Refining Cultivation to complete Divinity Transformation!" Excitement filled Su Xing''s eyes. Obviously, with so much energy, Su Xing wouldn''t have to worry about a lack of energy for some time to come. And with the support of such a vast amount of energy, Su Xing''s strength was sure to make even greater progress! sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After exchanging energy, Su Xing repeatedly confirmed that he wasn''t being tracked and that he hadn''t left any loopholes before taking a flight back to Kyoto overnight. Only after arriving at his familiar dormitory did Su Xing finally breathe a sigh of relief. Checking the time, the whole round trip had taken Su Xing roughly three days. "Sigh, although I made a fortune overnight, I must not forget my original intention!" "Steady and sustained effort is the true wisdom!" Su Xing, as a diligent gamer, went straight into the Spirit Field Blessed Land to start concocting elixirs after returning to his dormitory. Soon, several days passed, and due to time constraints, Su Xing managed to concoct only three thousand elixirs. Jin Congxue didn''t return to Kyoto this week, so Su Xing, after getting the new week''s goods, returned to Spirit Field Blessed Land to start a new round of simulation. On the afternoon of June 24th, 2024, New Era, Su Xing started his forty-second simulation on time. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 4,200 energy points, remaining energy points 510.86 million, unlimited number of remaining simulations.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, drawing a Purple Talent costs 100,000 energy points, draw?] "Damn, who do you look down upon? With my 500 million energy points, you dare only offer me a Purple Talent?" Su Xing snorted coldly, behaving like someone with deep pockets. However, reality dealt Su Xing a harsh blow. [Ding, unlocking the Golden Talent lottery requires a total energy amount of ten billion, and costs one billion energy to unlock...] Upon hearing the simulator''s notification, Su Xing''s face turned dark on the spot. "Damn, what the hell is this? Golden quality, unlocking it requires a total energy amount of ten billion?" Su Xing almost fainted on the spot; that''s ten billion energy points. How long would Su Xing have to save up to accumulate that? With a wistful expression, Su Xing murmured: "Forget it, I suddenly think that Purple Talent isn''t too bad... Draw the Purple Talent!" [Congratulations on obtaining Purple Talent: Star of Fortune!] [Star of Fortune]: Your luck exceeds that of ordinary people, you are one in ten thousand, a lucky star. No need to check the almanac when you go out, you often hit big, even winning the lottery eight out of ten times. Even if you do nothing, just idling away your days, the goddess of luck will look after you.] Seeing his newly drawn talent, Su Xing''s eyes lit up. Wow, another luck-based talent! And compared to the blue talent, Luck All Around, the Purple Talent of luck was obviously much more powerful! "Goodness, I''m walking down the path of luck all the way!" "I just wonder how much of an improvement Star of Fortune is compared to Luck All Around?" Expectation appeared in Su Xing''s eyes. [Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are simulating.] [You''re in a good mood and decide to treat yourself to a meal of Spirit Chicken egg fried rice.] [Crack, you break an egg and it''s a double-yolker!] [Crack, crack, crack... You consecutively break seven eggs, and they are all double-yolkers. You know this is the magical effect of your new talent, and you''re almost smiling crookedly.] [You continue concocting elixirs in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, and you''re extremely lucky, with one third of the elixirs you make in a week being of top quality!] [A week later, you meet with Jin Congxue,] [Jin Congxue brings you great news; she tells you that she has successfully obtained the bidding rights to a mining area instance dungeon.] [Currently recruiting miners, mining should officially begin within a month at most, by which time a continuous supply of rare metals will be produced.] [After hearing this, you''re in a very good mood and continue to go back to concocting elixirs.] Su Xing sees this and his lips curl slightly: "Tsk tsk, this Purple Talent really lives up to its reputation!" "This Star of Fortune is so much stronger than Luck All Around isn''t it? It can even influence business luck?" Su Xing remembers that Jin Congxue said it would take at least a month or two to obtain the mining rights to the instance dungeon, but now it was handled in less than a month. Chapter 198: Chapter 149: 500 Million Energy, Assassination from Legend! (5k)_2 Luck must be shining upon me."Tsk, tsk, as expected, anything related to luck involves god-level talent!" Su Xing looked forward to the next simulation, his gaze fixed on the simulation panel. [Next, you will, as always, prepare to join the Descending Sect to gain access to the treasure vault of the sect.] [You went to Shuangqing City and were very lucky; it only took you three days to encounter the damned Zong.] [Afterward, you traded with the damned Zong and smoothly joined the Descending Sect.] [Because of the damned Zong''s introduction and with your strength, you directly became an elder and the Descending Sect promised to make you a protector as soon as possible.] [But you didn''t care about these titles; as always, outwardly you called the damned Zong your brother, but secretly you contacted Luo Shuying and, with her help, you acquired a large amount of spiritual medicine.] Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [For the following two years, you kept a low profile within the Descending Sect and accumulated elixirs.] [Your luck was extremely good, and the probability of refining top-quality elixirs increased much; Essence-Nourishing Pill, Organ Refining Pill, and other elixirs, you managed to ensure a twenty percent rate of top-quality elixirs.] [In the third year, you felt the time was ripe, so you took Luo Shuying and left the Descending Sect.] [You fled to the Great Xia Military; the Descending Sect could only temporarily give up chasing you and instead targeted the damned Zong.] [Thus, the damned Zong embarked on a life of fleeing once again.] [After joining the Great Xia Military, you brought out the accumulated elixirs from over the years; because of their high percentage of top-quality elixirs, Great Xia Country gained more than seventy thousand grandmaster-level powerhouses, over eight hundred Heavenly King-level ones, and even added more than seventy Martial Emperor-level warriors.] [Afterwards, you decided to head to Demon-Subduing Pass as soon as possible, to enhance your own strength through the Flesh Essence of numerous Demon Emperors.] Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured to himself: "Now that I have enough simulation energy, next, I should break through to the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm as soon as possible!" Last time, Su Xing wasn''t able to break through to the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm due to insufficient time. But this time, as long as he entered Demon-Subduing Pass earlier and killed the Demon Emperors of the Royal Clan inside, he could get higher-grade Flesh Essences and thus break through to the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm! Thinking of this, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the fourth year, you joined Demon-Subduing Pass and managed to make a name for yourself within a year.] [In one year, you killed over ten Demon Emperors, countless Demon Kings; your use of swordsmanship reached a divine level, earning you the title of the foremost person under the legends of Demon-Subduing Pass!] [But you were still not satisfied because your reputation was only well-known within Demon-Subduing Pass, yet it had not spread to the Demon Race.] [Thus, you made no attempt to hide your strength and started to shine with increasingly eye-catching performance in the battlefield.] [In the fifth year, you killed nearly twenty Demon Emperors in one year, countless Demon Kings.] [The intense killing aura on you was so strong that even low-rank Demonic Beasts dared not approach, and even Demon Kings and Demon Emperors did not want to face you.] [You successfully spread your fame within the Demon Race.] [In the same year, as you desired, you encountered a challenge from a Demon Emperor of the Fierce Rhino Tribe.] [You intentionally concealed your strength and battled with him for a day and a night, and then you spared his life.] [You told him that the Royal Clan Demon Emperors are nothing but trash!] [This act of yours successfully caused a huge stir among the Demon Race.] [In the next few months, you were challenged by three Demon Emperors from the Royal Clan, and you were by no means polite; you killed them all.] [In the sixth year, with a sufficient supply of high-quality Demon Emperor Flesh Essences, your strength increased rapidly, and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved greatly.] [You did not exhaust the source, and when facing those Royal Clan Demonic Beasts, you did not kill every one of them but chose to kill one and let one go.] [Because you knew that only in this way would you have a constant stream of challenges from the Royal Clan Demonic Beasts.] [In the seventh year, as you had predicted, challenges from the Royal Clan Demonic Beasts kept coming.] [As there were quite a few Royal Clan Demon Emperors who managed to escape with their lives from you, they assumed that the ones who died at your hands were merely lacking in strength.] [And this suited you just fine; you kept the Royal Clan Demon Emperors almost as if they were farmed, butchering a couple whenever you needed Flesh Essence.] [Within a year, you killed seven Royal Clan Demon Emperors, obtaining a large batch of Flesh Essence from them and you were not far from attaining the eighth level of the Divine Strength Realm.] [In the eighth year, more and more Royal Clan Demon Emperors challenged you.] [They even considered it an honor to escape from your hand, as it proved their strength was great enough.] [And you were only too happy with this, knowing that only in this way could you steadily harvest Flesh Essence of Demon Emperors.] [In the same year, you finally broke through, becoming a Level Eight Cultivator of the Divine Strength Realm!] Seeing this, Su Xing felt a surge of joy in his heart. Indeed, as he had anticipated, those Royal Clan Demon Emperors had mysterious origins but loved to fight. Su Xing''s plan of ''fishing law enforcement'' was indeed effective, with Flesh Essences being continuously delivered to his doorstep. "To have broken through to the eighth level of the Divine Strength Realm in just eight years... it seems that this time, reaching the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm won''t be difficult!" With this thought, Su Xing''s gaze once again turned to the simulation panel. [In the ninth year, you continued your plan of killing one and letting one go, in one year you could kill over ten Royal Clan Demon Emperors, harvesting a large amount of Flesh Essence and steadily improving your Body Cultivation strength.] [By the tenth year, as your fame grew, the Royal Clan Demon Emperors coming to challenge you grew stronger as well.] [But to you, they were nothing more than a bit more effort to deal with; no matter how strong these Royal Clan Demon Emperors were, they fell short compared to you.] Chapter 199: Chapter 149: 500 Million Energy, Assassination from Legend! (5k)_3 [Gradually, you noticed the energy contained in the flesh essence of the royal clan Demon Emperors showed some minor differences.][Although the gap in the contained energy was small, you secretly guessed that it might be related to the purity of the Demon Race''s bloodline.] [That year, you slew more than a dozen royal clan Demon Emperors, and your strength further increased.] [In the thirteenth year, the number of royal clan Demon Emperors who fell by your hand had neared a hundred and eighty.] [Gradually, the number of Demon Emperors coming to challenge you grew fewer, and you knew it was because too many had died; these royal clan Demon Emperors had also grown wiser.] [Fortunately, every now and then, a pair of foolish, young Demon Emperors would come to challenge you, so your supply of flesh essence remained sufficient.] [In the fourteenth year, aside from fighting, you spent your days in cultivation. Although life was monotonous, the improvement in your strength was visible to the naked eye.] [Your Body Refinement Cultivation Level grew higher and higher, and you could feel that you were not far from the ninth level of the Divine Strength Realm.] [In the fifteenth year, with a sufficient supply of flesh essence, you finally broke through to become a Cultivator at the ninth level of the Divine Strength Realm!] [However, what troubled you was the decreasing number of royal clan Demon Emperors challenging you, and the flesh essence you had stored was becoming insufficient.] [Having no choice, you had to resort to reverse psychology, boldly claiming that the royal clan Demon Emperors were nothing but chickens and that even taking on two Demon Emperors at once would be a cinch for you!] [Your tactic successfully worked, and the originally quiet Demon Race became active again, at the same time, they were extremely angry.] [You made it onto the Demon Race''s bounty list, and even Legendary Demon Beasts wanted to assassinate you.] [But you didn''t care at all; you only wanted to obtain more flesh essence to break through to the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm as soon as possible.] Su Xing, seeing this, chuckled and shook his head: "Sigh, the simulated me is really reckless, truly fearless of death!" "Fighting two royal clan Demon Emperors alone, ordinary Cultivators at the ninth level of Divine Strength Realm might not manage... but I have comprehended Sword Intent, so it should be no problem!" Su Xing felt somewhat envious of his simulated self, who could completely let loose. Unlike the real Su Xing, who, despite his strength, had to lie low. "Sigh, when my strength is enough to suppress everything in this world, I must show off properly in front of everyone!" Su Xing thought to himself, his gaze turning to the simulation panel. [In the sixteenth year, your reverse psychology tactic was successful.] [Within two months, two royal clan Demon Emperors came to challenge you. You fought with the two Demon Emperors for one day and one night, ultimately slaying both and reaping a large batch of flesh essence.] [Afterward, you spread the message that these royal clan Demon Emperors were not strong enough, and you longed for opponents of more value!] Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Your actions thoroughly enraged the Demon Race, and within a short period, dozens of royal clan Demon Emperors lined up to challenge you.] [Your heart almost burst with joy, and you didn''t refuse, accepting them all!] [That year, you slew dozens of Demon Emperors, harvesting a large amount of flesh essence.] [With an adequate supply of flesh essence, you were not in a hurry to kill these royal clan Demon Emperors but spent your days engrossed in cultivation.] [In the seventeenth year, your actions incurred the grudge of the Demon Race, and that year, you were subjected to multiple assassination attempts from Human Race spies, Descending Sect traitors, and others.] [Fortunately, your superior strength, coupled with Luo Shuying''s personal protection, meant you were unharmed.] [Thus, in the following years, you kept a lower profile, and every day, apart from cultivating, you would only kill enemies on the walls of Demon-Subduing Pass, hastening the digestion of the Flesh Essence.] [In the twentieth year, after three years of quietude, a Legendary Demon Beast unexpectedly set its sights on you!] [That day, as usual, you stood on the ramparts of Demon-Subduing Pass facing the enemy, and as you were beheading a Demon King, a dark shadow suddenly burst out from the darkness.] [The shadow moved incredibly fast, and you couldn''t react in time, its sharp claws slashed across your chest, instantly shredding flesh and leaving a bone-deep wound.] [Seeing that a single strike hadn''t finished you off, the Legendary Demon Beast seemed surprised and immediately lunged at you again with its claws.] [In the critical moment, you could only grit your teeth and unleash a Sword Intent, barely managing to fend off the Legendary powerhouse.] [Just as you were about to flee, you discovered that your wound was rapidly rotting, and a wave of dizziness nearly rendered you unable to stand.] [Before you passed out, you caught a glimpse of Luo Shuying''s anxious expression.] [When you woke up again, you were lying on a sickbed with Jin Congxue and Luo Shuying standing by your side.] [Your condition wasn''t very good, but fortunately, your life was not in danger.] [Luo Shuying told you that you had been unconscious for more than a month, and the Legendary Demon Beast that had ambushed you was from the Shadow Tribe!] [Luo Shuying told you that the Shadow Tribe, one of the ten Royal Clans of the Demon Race, excels in assassination and concealment, possessing the ability to travel through shadows.] [Moreover, the claws of the Shadow Tribe carry a potent poison, to which almost any Martial Emperor would instantly succumb.] [But you, miraculously, had survived.] [Afterwards, Luo Shuying handed you a ring, telling you that the Legendary member of the Shadow Tribe had been killed by her and other Legendary powerhouses of Demon-Subduing Pass.] [Knowing you needed Flesh Essence, she had frozen the Flesh Essence of that Legendary member of the Shadow Tribe, and it was now inside the ring.] Su Xing''s eyebrows knitted tightly but soon relaxed. "Demon Race... So, above the hundred Great Clans, there are also Royal Clans?" "I''m afraid those Royal Clans are indeed the true elite powerhouses of the Demon Race!" Su Xing understood that the power of the Legendary Shadow Tribe was unquestionably strong. And the reason Su Xing could withstand the ambush of the Shadow Tribe was not only because of the robust physical body of a Body Refinement Cultivator. More importantly, it was Su Xing''s talent, the Descendant of Shennong! The Descendant of Shennong, with a simple farming talent, possessed a rare resistance to poison, likely the precious toxicity resistance that saved Su Xing''s life! "Sigh, indeed, one mustn''t be too arrogant!" Su Xing exhaled and said, "Even if I''ve reached the ninth level of the Divine Strength Realm in the simulation, virtually invincible below the Legendary level, if faced with a life-risking attack from a Legendary Demon Beast, it''s still a perilously narrow escape!" "And it''s a good thing it was the Shadow Tribe. Had it been any other Legendary Demon Beast, and had they torn me apart on the spot, I would have truly been beyond saving!" Su Xing slightly shook his head but then the corners of his mouth curled up a bit. "However, the greater the storm, the more valuable the fish!" "The Flesh Essence of a Legendary Demon Beast... sst, it should be enough to let me break through to the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, right?" Chapter 200: Chapter 150 Breakthrough, Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm! (5k) Su Xing was somewhat anticipatory.He hadn''t expected to reap a blessing from a disaster in the simulation, despite having encountered the hunt of a Legendary Demon Beast. But he had obtained a precious essence of Legendary Demon Beast flesh! It was known that Legendary Demon Beasts were extremely difficult to kill in Demon-Subduing Pass because there were no more than ten individuals from the Human Race with strength surpassing the Legendary Level. And even if a Legendary Demon Beast was killed, other members of the Demon Race would desperately bring back its corpse. For this reason, Su Xing could hardly ever get his hands on Legendary Level flesh essence. But this time, a Legendary member of the Shadow Tribe actually came alone to assassinate Su Xing, which was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. If he missed this chance, Su Xing might not be able to get the Legendary flesh essence until he possessed Legendary Level strength himself. "Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, here I come!" Su Xing murmured, turning his gaze to the simulation panel. [After awakening, you spent several months recuperating, and with the powerful recovery abilities of a Cultivator in the Divine Strength Realm, your injuries finally started to slowly heal.] [You nearly completely cleansed the toxins from your body, and then, you took out the frozen essence of Legendary flesh.] [Unlike the essence of the Demon Emperor that you had before, the energy contained within the Legendary flesh essence almost made your heart tremble in fear.] [If an ordinary Martial Emperor were to consume this flesh essence, they''d probably burst and die on the spot!] [And you had as much as three hundred pounds of such flesh essence!] [The essence of the Shadow Tribe''s flesh, unlike that of other Demonic Beasts, contains a slight toxin, but fortunately, as a Descendant of Shennong, you had no major trouble after consuming it.] [However, the energy contained within this flesh essence was so abundant that you could only eat less than half a pound each day before you couldn''t digest any more.] [Thus, in the following months, you spent each day cultivating and fighting.] [Whenever you were hungry, you''d eat a large chunk of flesh essence to replenish the energy within your body.] [Once filled with energy, you''d go up the city walls to fight and accelerate the digestion of this energy.] [After several months, you were surprised to find that during this time, not only had your Body Refinement Cultivation Level greatly improved, but even your body had developed a slight resistance to toxins.] [In the twenty-first year, you still spent each day in cultivation and battle.] [The effects of the Legendary flesh essence left behind by the Demonic Beasts continued to be strong, and the speed at which your cultivation level increased was more than twice as fast as before. You could feel that you were not far from reaching the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm!] [In the twenty-second year, after you had consumed more than three hundred pounds of Legendary flesh essence, you finally broke through!] [Congratulations on becoming a Cultivator at the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm!] Seeing this, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, huh!" Although he had anticipated it, Su Xing was still excited when he truly broke through to the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm. Reaching the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm meant that, below the Legendary Level, Su Xing truly had no rivals! This meant a lot, such as Su Xing now being able to beat up the likes of Damned Zong decisively. It also meant that Su Xing could avoid most threats in the real world. After all, the pinnacle of Martial Emperor was almost the recognized limit of outright combat strength. "Next, I just need to steadily advance my cultivation level!" Su Xing''s lips curved up slightly, his eyes returning to the simulation panel. [In the twenty-third year, after achieving Great Perfection in the Divine Strength Realm, you remained active within Demon-Subduing Pass, valiantly fighting the enemy.] [Because of your presence, the pressure on Demon-Subduing Pass was greatly reduced. Your role on the battlefield was almost comparable to that of a Legendary powerhouse.] [But despite the great power of one individual, there were still casualties every day within Demon-Subduing Pass. You watched this unfold and simply continued to fight the enemy, casting aside your distractions.] [In the twenty-fourth year, after breaking through to the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, you continued to consume the Demon Emperor''s flesh essence daily, but its effects on you had become insignificant.] [It could only help you recover your strength faster, and it almost did not help your cultivation level to advance.] [You began searching for the method to step into the next realm above the Divine Strength Realm, the Broken Void Realm!] [But at this point, the Luotian Meeting Instance had already closed, and the only way you could think of to break through the Divine Strength Realm was to get the secret from Damned Zong.] [And Damned Zong had already vanished without a trace, leaving you no choice but to remain at the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm.] [In the twenty-fifth year, Legendary Demon Beasts attacked, and Demon-Subduing Pass was destroyed!] [You died at the hands of a Legendary Demon Beast, and even your Primordial Spirit was devoured.] Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Your talent for dying with eyes open activated.] [You watched with open eyes as your former comrades and the soldiers of Demon-Subduing Pass were annihilated, as Luo Shuying, Jin Congxue, and others died at the hands of the Demon Race, but you were left with only one eye, unable to make any change...] [Ding, this simulation is over!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Yet there was some frustration in his heart as he complained: "Damn it, even at the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, in that great battle at Demon-Subduing Pass, I was still just a slightly larger ant!" Whenever he thought about his future, watching people like Jin Congxue and Luo Shuying die before his eyes, unable to change anything, a wave of frustration swelled in his heart. "Demon Race, just you wait! Once I become an Immortal, I''ll definitely cook you all into stew!" Despite knowing that failure was only in the simulation, Su Xing had grown accustomed to death. But the desire to become stronger was growing even more intense! "Above the Divine Strength Realm... the Broken Void Realm, how can it be achieved?" Su Xing was filled with yearning. What he lacked was not cultivating time, nor was it resources for cultivation and the like. What he lacked was information! Regarding how to break through and the path needed for further cultivation, Su Xing knew little and could only rely on his own exploration. Chapter 201: Chapter 150: Breakthrough, Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm! (5k)_2 After pondering for a moment, Su Xing sighed softly and said,"Alas, my Qi Refining Cultivation hasn''t even reached the full completion of the Divinity Transformation Stage... I should probably not aim too high for now!" "For the next simulation, I should focus on increasing my Qi Refining Cultivation while looking for rumors about breaking through to the Broken Void Realm. That would be the wise course of action!" Thinking thus, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel before him. "Now, let''s choose the rewards first!" "Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, here I come!" With a thought from Su Xing, several reward options appeared before his eyes. [Fortune Shines Brightly]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million points of energy. [Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 500,000 energy. [Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm Cultivation]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 30 million energy. [Twenty-Two Years of Combat Experience at Demon-Subduing Pass]: Enhances one''s own combat ability and slightly enhances the understanding of killing intent, priced at 13 million energy. Looking at the options before him, Su Xing did not hesitate and silently recited, "I choose the Fortune Shines Brightly talent, as well as the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm Cultivation!" As the words fell, the simulator''s prompt sounded in Su Xing''s ear. [You have successfully brought out the Purple Talent Fortune Shines Brightly, spending 1 million energy, remaining energy is 597.6 million points.] [Detected that you have a similar type of blue talent, Lucky Streak, initiating automatic replacement...] [You have successfully brought out the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm Cultivation, spending 30 million points of energy, remaining energy is 497.76 million points.] As the prompt concluded, a mysterious energy descended upon Su Xing. Immediately after, the aura emanating from Su Xing began to surge dramatically. Divine Strength Realm Seventh Layer... Divine Strength Realm Eighth Layer... Divine Strength Realm Ninth Layer! And finally, Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm! Su Xing''s Cultivation Level skyrocketed in a short period of time, completing a triple jump. A few breaths later, Su Xing slowly stood up, feeling the greatly increased aura within him, the corners of his mouth rising slightly. "Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm... my strength has climbed more than double! Now, my power has finally reached a hundred thousand tons!" After briefly experiencing his formidable aura, Su Xing couldn''t help but marvel inwardly. Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, such pure physical strength is indeed mighty..." With the rapid increase in strength, Su Xing couldn''t help but feel slightly inflated with pride. But he soon remembered everything that had happened at Demon-Subduing Pass and couldn''t help shaking his head, saying, "It''s still far from enough! Even legendary powerhouses seem like ants in the face of that disaster... I need to become even stronger!" "But how can I reach the Broken Void Realm?" Su Xing frowned slightly, as his understanding of the Broken Void Realm was also not very extensive. All he knew was that a Broken Void Realm powerhouse could break all laws with one force and, with sheer physical strength, shatter all illusions! That is the Broken Void Realm! However, as for how to cultivate it, Su Xing had no clue. "Running through the growth path of a Body Refinement Cultivator..." "Starting from the initial entry into Body Refinement, one enhances the physique, surpassing ordinary people in bodily quality!" "The second phase, the Bone Forging Realm, is about achieving a body as strong as copper and bones as tough as iron. A cultivator of the Bone Forging Realm could remain unharmed against swords and spears..." "The Organ Refining Realm mainly strengthens the internal organs, with improvements to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys." "Following that, the Origin Martial Realm is about cultivating Origin Force. Origin Force is the unique power of a Body Refinement Cultivator. Making use of Origin Force in battle greatly boosts one''s Cultivation Level!" "And the Divine Strength Realm, where I am now, is about the extreme growth of strength! With one''s physique, mountains and rivers can be shattered..." Su Xing reflected deeply, always feeling that there was a path for the cultivation of a Body Refinement Cultivator. Yet he could not quite articulate it, so he could only murmur to himself, "Well then, during the next simulation, I''ll go and inquire within the Luotian Meeting Instance, how should I reach the Broken Void Realm?" After breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm, Su Xing outlined a preliminary plan for his future simulations. "Having reached the perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, it''ll likely be difficult for my strength to improve significantly in a short time..." "So next, I need to ponder over how to achieve a breakthrough in my Divinity Transformation Cultivation..." Su Xing vividly remembered that if he could reach the Return to Void Realm, he would be able to seek out his nominal master Qing Yunzi. That would undoubtedly be a tremendous opportunity, so he must not slacken the pace of his Qi Refining Cultivation advancement. But the problem is, it is extremely difficult to enhance Cultivation Level during the Divinity Transformation Stage, with over twenty years spent just to breakthrough two realms. "Unless... I manage to draw a purple-grade Spiritual Root!" Su Xing felt some anticipation, but then he shook his head; drawing Talents was truly a matter of luck. "Apart from that, the only way to accelerate Cultivation Level would be to increase the Spiritual Energy content in the Spirit Field Blessed Land!" Su Xing''s current Spirit Field Blessed Land is considered a pocket-size realm of the Blessed Land category. Cultivating within the Blessed Land was naturally speedier. However, for Su Xing, it was not enough, so he intended to raise the level of Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land to that of a Cave Heaven. "Cave Heaven level Spiritual Energy content would require at least three thousand or more Gathering Spirit Flowers... and I already have over a thousand of them." "In this case, I just need another two thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers and it''ll be sufficient!" The thought of two thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers, worth two hundred million energy, made Su Xing feel somewhat pained. But he shook his head soon after and said, "However, the investment in Gathering Spirit Flowers is very worthwhile!" "With the current scarcity of nature''s spiritual energy, my Gathering Spirit Flowers would likely be a treasure beyond reach for the average cultivator!" "Moreover, whether it''s for future cultivation or the Spirit Rice Project, a rich supply of Gathering Spirit Flowers is indispensable..." Thinking this way, Su Xing glanced at the time. Seeing that it was still early, Su Xing didn''t dawdle and began his routine of making Elixirs. In the following week, Su Xing only made five thousand Elixirs. It wasn''t due to a slump in his Alchemy skills, but rather because Su Xing had been slacking off! Chapter 202: Chapter 150: Breakthrough, Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm! (5k)_3 ```As Su Xing put it: Damn it, I''ve been grinding for over half a year, why can''t I enjoy a break? During that period, Su Xing even took a day off to invite Jin Congxue to a movie. After all, Su Xing''s Tarot Society was now on the right track, and its businesses, aside from selling a few types of elixirs, included trade in equipment and instance dungeon items, which were gradually picking up and bringing more and more simulated energy for Su Xing. Furthermore, with the impending successful acquisition of a mine dungeon, once exotic metals could be collected on a large scale, Su Xing''s source of simulated energy would greatly increase. In comparison, the profits brought in by Su Xing''s weekly elixir crafting had become less significant. "Once I finish paying off the debt from acquiring Lingyun Commerce Guild, there''s no need to craft Nourishing Face Pills... Even if I need to continue alchemy, I can craft some elixirs with higher returns," thought Su Xing. In the past few months, Su Xing had been crafting nothing but Nourishing Face Pills and Wound Healing Pills to the point of feeling nauseated. After storing away the elixirs he had crafted for the week, Su Xing set off for the villa to meet with Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue was wearing a sexy long dress today, which earned Su Xing''s silent praise. After a meal, the two began to discuss official business. Handing over a storage ring, Jin Congxue blinked and said, "Big boss, I have some good news for you. What do you think it is? Guess correctly and there''s a reward oh!" S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Smelling a test, Su Xing tentatively asked, "First tell me what the reward is?" Jin Congxue giggled and said, "If you answer correctly, this Miss will reluctantly accompany you to another movie next week. How does that sound?" Su Xing laughed upon hearing this, knowing that Jin Congxue wanted to see a movie. But Su Xing hadn''t been that busy recently and he did have time for a movie. So he played along, "Let me guess, is it that the mine dungeon matter has been settled?" Hearing this, Jin Congxue''s eyes widened, and her red lips parted slightly in surprise, looking adorably cute. "You''re amazing! Could it be that you really know fortune telling?" Su Xing smiled slightly upon hearing this. With the simulator as his cheat, he did have the ability to foresee. At this point, Jin Congxue added, "That''s right! I don''t know what happened, but the one competing with us for this mine dungeon was the Baili Business Association..." "But unexpectedly, they suddenly shifted their focus to collecting instance dungeon items, and didn''t even attend the auction... As a result, we got the contracting rights to the mine dungeon at a very low price!" Pausing, Jin Congxue complained, "I originally thought collecting instance dungeon items was just a personal quirk of the young master of the Baili family, but now it has become a strategic goal of the Baili business..." "Sigh, it seems the old Mr. Baili really doesn''t have much time left, and who knows how long the Baili Business Association can thrive under Baili Qi''s hands..." Su Xing''s expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this. He hadn''t expected his visit to the Baili residence would bring such an unexpected surprise. This collection of instance dungeon items must have been ordered by the head of the Baili family, Baili Tu. Such a public change in strategic goals was probably aimed at one thing: to trade with Su Xing again! "Tsk tsk, the allure of the Life Extension Pill is indeed great... But this also makes things easier for me, as I can go trade with the Baili Business Association whenever I need more simulated energy," thought Su Xing to himself. A normal person could take two Life Extension Pills, and two pills together could yield an additional ten years of life! This was an immense temptation for the old Mr. Baili. ``` Even after the effects of the Life Extension Pill had worn off, Su Xing still had control over a dozen kinds of Lifespan Extension Elixirs. Just taking out two of them, they were worth hundreds of millions of modular energy units! "Damn, being filthy rich is just awesome! If I had known this, why the hell would I start a commerce guild?" Su Xing muttered to himself, but he was clear in his heart. It was the commerce guild that could ensure a steady stream of earning modular energy. And though exchanging Life Extension Pills for instance dungeon items was a quick way to get energy, Su Xing had to be extremely careful, not slip up in the slightest, or else it would lead to endless troubles. Su Xing chatted with Jin Congxue for a while longer, then returned to school to convert this week''s goods into energy. It was a total of sixteen million energy, and Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, murmuring, "Not bad, the Tarot Commerce Association is providing more and more energy!" On the afternoon of July 1st, 2024 of the New Era, Su Xing punctually started a new round of simulation. "Start simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 4300 points of energy, leaving 495.13 million points of energy, with unlimited remaining simulation times.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting a green talent costs 1000 points of energy, a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, extracting a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy, would you like to proceed with the extraction?] Su Xing decisively said, "Extract the purple quality talent!" [Congratulations, you have obtained the Purple Talent: Artifact Refining Genius!] [Artifact Refining Genius]: You possess insight into Artifact Refining far beyond ordinary people, the quality of artifacts you craft is higher, and you have the potential to become an Artifact Refining Master. "Hm? Artifact Refining?" Su Xing looked at the newly drawn talent thoughtfully. Elixirs, artifacts, the Dao of Arrays, talismans... These four are considered to be among the most lucrative channels for Cultivators. An ordinary Cultivator who can master one can be said to live without worries and have a place in the Cultivation World. Su Xing, now only specialized in the Path of Alchemy, had already made a fortune. "Nice one... this is a great talent for making money!" Su Xing exclaimed, then shook his head, "Unfortunately, I don''t currently have knowledge about Artifact Refining, nor do I have any scriptures on it..." "Although the path of Artifact Refining is quite profitable, it''s obviously not something that can be learned overnight... Let''s put this talent on hold in the talent pool for now, and when I need it, I''ll draw it out..." Compared to learning the Path of Artifact Refining, Su Xing was more prepared to quickly enhance his Qi Refining Cultivation. Su Xing shook his head slightly, his gaze turning back to the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you''re in a simulation...] [You return to your dormitory, encountering Fatty Yu, who has already advanced to a Grandmaster Level professional.] [He is calling a few friends over for a meal and invites you too, and you agree to go.] [Looking at your classmates at the last college gathering, you feel somewhat silent, as these classmates are the elite among professionals.] [Some are full of infinite longing for the future, others are reluctant to leave their college days behind.] [You silently listen to a few classmates brag and chat at the reunion, recalling the past four years of life, and thinking about the apocalyptic catastrophe coming in more than twenty years, feeling quite moved...] [Your mindset has improved...] Chapter 209: Chapter 153: Kill the Damned Zong and Comprehend the Heaven Rank Secret Technique! (5k) Su Xing couldn''t help but exclaim:"Damn it, this Damned Zong really does have a lot of tricks up his sleeve!" "To think he even has a method for a blood sacrifice to summon souls... truly malevolent!" "Well, good. Little master is going to see today just how many more tricks you can pull out!" His gaze fixed on the simulation panel. [After the Black Evil Force entered his body, Damned Zong''s strength greatly increased. Not only did his power and speed see a massive boost,] [but even Damned Zong''s Spiritual Power attacks were laced with the strong corrosive essence of the Black Evil, constantly eroding your own Spiritual Power.] [But your true strength comes from your absolute power, vitality, and swordsmanship working in tandem; Body Refinement Cultivation Level is what you rely on. Even as your Spiritual Power is eroded, you can still fight on par with Damned Zong.] [Your swordsmanship is sharp and fierce, and you exhibit a desperate and fearless vigor in your fight against Damned Zong''s dark energy, matching him without falling short.] [After battling for over a hundred rounds like this, the Black Evil Force on Damned Zong''s body finally began to wane, and his strength plummeted rapidly.] [You then gained the upper hand again, pressing Damned Zong and inflicting him with increasingly severe injuries.] [But you remain cautious, going all out without giving Damned Zong any chance to turn the tables.] [Seeing himself falling into disadvantage again, and repeatedly forced into a corner by you, Damned Zong gritted his teeth and pulled out several fist-sized black orbs.] [Damned Zong hurled the orbs at you all at once, and you quickly dodged two of them.] [Boom! The black orbs hit a mountain and exploded with thunderous noise.] [Using the corner of your eye, you saw rocks flying across the mountain, its peak completely blown off.] [Your heart raced at the thought, fearing these black orbs might be the precious dark weapons from the Cultivation World, the Thunder Balls!] [It was said that the Thunder Balls were made from priceless thunder stones, not only were they tremendously powerful, but they also contained the force of lightning. Once they exploded, they could even injure cultivators in the Divine Strength Realm!] [While dodging the Thunder Balls thrown at you, you continued to pursue Damned Zong.] [Damned Zong, realizing he was no match for you, also fought while retreating.] [You chased him for hundreds of miles, blasting the mountain ranges to the point where they were barely recognizable.] [Finally, Damned Zong stopped hurling Thunder Balls, and you swiftly concluded that he must have run out, so you quickened your pursuit!] [Although Damned Zong''s strength was inferior to yours, his survival techniques exceeded yours.] [You watched as he stepped in mysteriously fluid movements; conducting steps that could traverse hundreds of meters at a time, the Divine Skill: Shrinking Ground Into Inches!] [Even though you couldn''t surpass Damned Zong''s speed with the Divine Skills, your stamina far exceeded that of the aging Damned Zong.] [So, you gritted your teeth and kept up the pursuit, and thus the chase went on for three days and nights!] [In these three days, you ran almost ten thousand miles.] [Whenever you were about to catch up to him, Damned Zong would always find a way to survive, either with a secret technique, or heaven-sent treasures, or even by blowing up Magic Artifacts to escape.] [You''ve lost count of how many tricks you''ve forced out of this Damned Zong, but his Storage Magical Artifact was like an endless treasure trove, always having methods to stop your pursuit.] Seeing this, Su Xing lightly covered his face and sighed: "As expected of Zong the Runner! Damn it, his ability to save his own skin is truly outrageous!" "After chasing for three days and nights... I finally understand why even the Legendary Level Luo Shuying couldn''t kill him!" Taking a pause, a determined killing intent rose in Su Xing as he murmured to himself: "But no matter how many more tricks you have, this time, young master is going to slaughter you!" His gaze returned to the simulation panel. [You and Damned Zong continued the relentless chase for seven whole days.] [In these seven days, your Spiritual Power was drained many times over, but luckily your Spirit Field Blessed Land had evolved to a Cave Heaven, allowing you to swiftly recover Spiritual Energy in your portable Spirit Field before resuming the chase.] [Despite this, both your body and mind were utterly exhausted. Still, you bit down hard and persevered because you knew Damned Zong was definitely more worn out than you!] [Throughout these days, Damned Zong had consumed many exceptional treasures to recover his physical strength and Spiritual Power, to the point where you started to feel envious.] [Every time Damned Zong was close to being chased to death, he miraculously burst forth with potential, managing to continue running for another day and night.] [You even began to suspect that Damned Zong possessed some sort of innate talent for survival, maybe even the ability to breakthrough in a dire situation?] [Of course, that was impossible. In today''s world where great laws are absent and Spiritual Energy is scarce, even if Damned Zong had the ability to run and stimulate potential, he couldn''t break through.] [Thus, the chase continued for half a month.] [Finally, you trapped him in a valley surrounded by cliffs and drove him into a corner.] [Damned Zong at this point looked extremely wretched, chased by you for a month, his clothes in tatters, disheveled and dirtylooking even worse than a beggar on the streets.] [Such a high-level Divinity Transformation cultivator couldn''t even muster the Spiritual Power to fly on the wind.] [And your condition wasn''t much better; despite being a consummate cultivator in the Divine Strength Realm, you were so worn out you didn''t even feel like holding your sword.] [But at that moment, with Spiritual Power depleted and all tricks played out, Damned Zong was no longer your match!] [Damned Zong appeared to have foreseen his end, a complicated expression in his eyes, and after a bitter laugh, he expended his last bit of Spiritual Power to destroy his own Storage Magical Artifact.] [You wanted to stop him, but were half a step too slow. All you saw were the shattered remains of the storage bag, and Damned Zong''s Primordial Spirit preparing to flee.] [But how could you let Damned Zong escape? You immediately activated the Li Fire Technique, severely wounding Damned Zong''s Primordial Spirit.] Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 215: Chapter 155: Bringing Out Rewards, Su Xings Heart in Pursuit of the Way! (5k) [Your heart was shocked; the puppet''s body strength was likely on par with a Broken Void Realm cultivator!][Your Sword Qi almost did no damage to it, and in the time it took to take a breath, the puppet had already reached you, throwing a punch directly at you!] [Seeing this, you quickly wrapped your Origin Force around your fists to block.] [The collision of the fists sent you flying backward to smash against the stone wall, fresh blood trickling from your mouth.] [You found it unbelievable; the sheer physical strength of the puppet was greater than yours, and its body was even tougher, by no telling how much.] [You were certain in your heart that this was a puppet that could rival a Broken Void Realm cultivator!] [After being sent flying by a punch, you took advantage of the faint light emanating from the wall to get a clear look at the puppet''s appearance.] [It looked exactly like a human, but its skin was eerily pale, similar to a vampire from Western legends. The withered wrinkles made it look especially frightening.] [This seemed to be a living dead, refined into a powerful puppet.] [While you were pondering, the puppet attacked you once more.] [After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, you had sustained multiple injuries.] [The puppet''s offensive grew even more intense, and the endless power coming from its body made it nearly impossible for you to defend.] [Your battle caused mysterious fluctuations to continuously emanate from the stone walls around you, which were part of some defensive formation, seemingly meant to prevent the ancient tomb from collapsing.] [You held on for another dozen or so rounds but could no longer resist, and the living dead puppet''s strength was who knows how many times stronger than that damned Zong.] [Knowing you were no match, you thought of leaving the relic.] [However, the living dead puppet relentlessly pursued you, and after dozens more rounds of battle, your physical body disintegrated, smashed into a pulp.] [After your Primordial Spirit left your body, you prepared to continue fleeing, but the living dead puppet simply reached out with its right hand and caught your Primordial Spirit.] [It shoved it into its mouth, and you felt a tremendous suction force swallowing your Primordial Spirit.] [You died!] [Ding, the simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing looked at the text in front of him, remaining silent for a long time. "It''s no wonder a great sect that once gave birth to an Immortal... Even a puppet possesses strength comparable to the Broken Void Realm?" Su Xing felt somewhat relieved that he had not chosen to recklessly rush into the relic, or else he would have lost a layer of his Divinity Transformation Realm. Now that the 25 years of simulation time was used up, even dying felt worthwhile. Touching his chin, Su Xing murmured, "This puppet must be the guardian of the ancient tomb relic, right? Who exactly was the master of this ancient tomb? To have even the guardian puppet rival a Broken Void Realm cultivator!" "Hiss... At least a Return to Void Realm Great Perfection, or even a Body Integration Realm cultivator, right?" With a light sigh, Su Xing said, "Pity, with my current strength, facing a Broken Void powerhouse, I can only last a few dozen rounds..." "To defeat this puppet, I''m afraid I still need to cultivate to the Broken Void Realm to have any hope!" "However, there must be great secrets hidden in this ancient tomb relic, and if I achieve the Broken Void Realm, maybe I can revisit the tomb!" Su Xing carefully recollected the events of the simulation, listing down several key points. "First, this ancient tomb relic, surely isn''t just a simple cultivator''s resting place, otherwise, there wouldn''t have been Broken Void and Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators dying there thousands of years ago." "Second, there is a faint presence of Spiritual Energy in that tomb; maybe there are Gathering Spirit Flowers, or perhaps a Spirit Vein! But... I lean more towards the latter!" "Last, and most importantly, who was the master of that tomb? Could the Heavenly Grade Technique of the Wanmu Decision be with the master of that tomb?" With this thought, Su Xing took a deep breath. Whether it was the advanced technique of the Changchun Technique, the Wanmu Decision, or the Spirit Vein in that tomb, they were all massively tempting for Su Xing! He definitely had to make another trip there once his strength was sufficient! "Too bad, my Origin Force hasn''t advanced to the third level, and stepping into the Broken Void Realm is still a long way off..." "Rather deal with the matter at hand, step by step!" With a sigh, Su Xing''s gaze became hopeful as he looked towards the simulation panel. [Artifact Refining Genius]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 500,000 energy points. [Divinity Transformation Stage Fourth Layer Cultivation]: Qi Refining Cultivation, priced at 30 million energy points. [Xuanhuang Technique]: Xuan (Mysterious) rank cultivation technique, can be cultivated up to the Return to Void Realm Stage, part of the Heavenly Grade Technique of the Wanmu Decision, priced at 1 million energy points. [Floating Life Technique]: Xuan (Mysterious) rank cultivation technique, can be cultivated up to the Return to Void Realm Stage, part of the Heavenly Grade Technique of the Wanmu Decision, priced at 2 million energy points. [Ten Thousand Drops of Low Grade Spiritual Liquid]: Condensed from extremely rich Spiritual Energy, it can nourish the Dantian and promote cultivation, extremely easy to absorb, priced at 1 million energy points. [Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique (Incomplete)]: Heavenly-grade secret technique, containing the latter chapter of the people''s fortune, able to predict fortune and luck, not as valuable as the national fortune chapter, priced at 30 million energy points. [2,300 mature Gathering Spirit Flowers, 1,500 Gathering Spirit Flower seeds]: Priced at 245 million energy points. [Origin Force Cultivation Insights (Entwining Level)]: Although not a breakthrough in realm, there is significant progress in the understanding of Origin Force, priced at 8 million energy points. This time in the simulation, Su Xing''s gains were substantial. Not only did his Qi Refining Cultivation make great breakthroughs, but he also explored the Immortal Martial Era instance, and found the path to Broken Void for the future. "So, with so many rewards available, how should I choose?" Su Xing looked at the rewards in front of him and fell into deep thought. Although the Artifact Refining Genius talent was good, Su Xing currently had no plans for Artifact Refining and also lacked an Artifact Refining manual. sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 216: Chapter 155: Rewards Brought Out, Su Xings Seeking Heart! (5k)_2 We can temporarily put it in the Talent Pool and take it out when it''s the right time.Despite being of the Profound Ranking, the Xuan Huang Technique and the Fleeting Life Technique aren''t worthy of Su Xing wasting a simulation chance, as he has already been practicing the Changchun Technique. Maybe in the future, he could directly obtain the Wan Mu Decision in the simulation and bring it out, which would be more convenient. "As for the Low Grade Spiritual Liquid..." Su Xing shook his head slightly. Low Grade Spiritual Liquid stems from the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, which in turn, indirectly comes from the Gathering Spirit Flower. If he directly chose the Spiritual Liquid, it would indeed be missing the forest for the trees. Furthermore, ten thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid isn''t much; perhaps he could accumulate more and bring out twenty years'' worth in one go, thus significantly increasing the speed of his cultivation. He had already memorized the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, so naturally, there was no need to waste an opportunity on it. And the cultivation of Origin Force hadn''t triggered any epiphanies, so it wasn''t worth choosing either. After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing finally decided: "I choose the fourth level of the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivation Level, as well as the Gathering Spirit Flowers!" As his voice fell, a prompt from the simulator rang in Su Xing''s ear. [You have successfully brought out the fourth level of the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivation Level, spending 30 million energy points, with a remaining energy balance of 455.43 million points.] [You have successfully brought out 2,300 Gathering Spirit Flowers and 1,500 seeds, spending 245 million energy points, with a remaining energy balance of 210.43 million points.] Watching the energy in the simulator plummet, Su Xing''s heart bled. But all of this was worth it! The next second, the aura around Su Xing began to rise! Divinity Transformation Stage first level... Divinity Transformation second level... Divinity Transformation third level! Eventually, the fourth level of the Divinity Transformation Stage! In just a few breaths, Su Xing''s Cultivation Level had broken through three minor realms in succession. Finally settling at the fourth level of the Divinity Transformation Stage, he was even not far from the fifth level! "Hiss... mid-phase of Divinity Transformation... the density of the Spiritual Power inside my body has increased by over fifty percent compared to before!" "This means I can refine elixirs and mature Spiritual Medicine better!" Su Xing''s lips curved slightly, while the fourth level of the Divinity Transformation Stage didn''t have much impact on his combat strength. It still could further enhance Su Xing''s ability to earn money. "Now... what about the Gathering Spirit Flowers?" Su Xing''s heart stirred as he looked up to see a hillside covered with white flowers. Clusters of them gathered together, these lovely Gathering Spirit Flowers lifted Su Xing''s spirits! "Hahaha... nearly three thousand five hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers, such a multitude, are sufficient to promote the Spirit Field Blessed Land to a Cave Heaven!" Su Xing eagerly approached the Gathering Spirit Flowers, and sure enough, he saw these adorable white flowers vigorously breathing in Spiritual Energy. Each breath they took released even more Spiritual Energy! Such a virtuous cycle increased the concentration of Spiritual Energy at the entire hilltop rapidly! Su Xing watched this scene with satisfaction and nodded: "Good, at this rate, maybe in less than half a month, the Spirit Field Blessed Land could advance to a Cave Heaven!" The evolution from Blessed Land to Cave Heaven is not accomplished in a single step but requires the Spirit Field to have a sufficient concentration of Spiritual Energy. The three-thousand-plus Gathering Spirit Flowers, releasing Spiritual Energy like tirelessly working producers, slowly evolved the Blessed Land. When the time comes, not only will Su Xing''s cultivation speed increase by a lot, but also the growth rate of Spirit Plants and Spirit Pets in his Portable Spirit Field will accelerate. "Of course, there''s also the most important thing, the Spiritual Liquid!" Su Xing carefully packed away the seeds of the Gathering Spirit Flowers, not in a hurry to plant them, but instead tidied up a bit, preparing to leave the Spirit Field Blessed Land. Following the trajectory of the future in the simulation. Today would be the last class reunion of the university. Although Su Xing wasn''t close to most of his classmates, attending would elevate his state of mind. So it wouldn''t hurt to go for a visit. Soon, Su Xing exited the Spirit Field Blessed Land and returned to his dormitory to see Fatty Yu, who had been waiting for a while. Fatty Yu seemed to be in a good mood as he came over and slapped Su Xing''s shoulder, saying: "Little Su! Don''t you go wandering off tonight, it''s the last class reunion, and I specifically came to call for you!" Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Fatty Yu was still in his usual state, just rounder in the face after some time had passed. Su Xing nodded in response, as he was planning to attend this gathering. After a thought, Su Xing asked: "Fatty, where do you plan to go after graduation?" Fatty Yu looked around, then mysteriously glanced at Su Xing and said: "Dude, I plan to go to the Demon-Subduing Pass to fight enemies! Strange as it seems, my strength has increased rapidly lately, and I''ve broken through to the Grandmaster Level... I''m going to the Demon-Subduing Pass to really put those Demonic Beasts in their place!" Su Xing frowned slightly upon hearing this. According to Fatty Yu''s original life trajectory, he shouldn''t have reached the Grandmaster Level just yet. It seems that the Essence-Nourishing Pills that Su Xing gave him helped him advance. But Su Xing knew the perils of the Demon-Subduing Pass more than anyone. Would Fatty Yu be in danger if he went there? Su Xing''s thoughts stirred, about to offer a warning, but then he reconsidered. The Demon-Subduing Pass wasn''t as dangerous now as it would be ten years later. If he didn''t perish, Fatty Yu''s strength might increase even further within the Pass. Given Fatty Yu''s talent, he might even achieve a life transformation and ascend to the Heavenly King Level within a few years! Considering this, Su Xing decided not to dissuade Yu Yan but took out a bottle of elixirs from his pocket and handed it to Fatty Yu. "Fatty, this is an elixir I accidentally obtained in the instance. It can slightly increase mental attributes. It''s no use to me... so I''m giving it to you!" Fatty Yu grinned, took the bottle without any pretense, and then gave Su Xing a knowing look, winking and saying: Chapter 217: Chapter 155: Rewards Brought Out, Su Xings Seeking Heart! (5k)_3 "Buddy, I get it! Don''t worry, I''ll be the only one eating this elixir!"Watching Fatty Yu''s smug expression, Su Xing was somewhat surprised. Could it be that this guy really noticed something? But then Fatty Yu slung his arm over Su Xing''s shoulder and led him out of the dorm, heading toward the gathering location. "Let''s go, the others are getting impatient!" Soon, Su Xing and Fatty Yu arrived at an old, well-known food stall across from the school. It wasn''t expensive, but the taste was excellent. Su Xing would occasionally come here to eat. About twenty classmates attended the gathering. Other than Fatty Yu, Su Xing only knew the others as acquaintances, and couldn''t even recall some of their names. "Come on, guys, let''s have a drink!" "Hahaha! I heard that you, kid, recently advanced to Master Level? You''re paying for the meal today!" "Little Liu is doing well too, right? I heard you were poached by a big trading company. Now even breaking through to Grandmaster Level seems possible for you!" A group of young people in their early twenties gathered, their faces flushed with drink. At this moment, a tall and thin young man stood up, holding his glass and said: "Haha, guys, you may not know yet, but Fatty Yu just recently broke through to Grandmaster Level! In our cohort, his strength can rank among the top three!" As these words were spoken, the rest of the classmates looked on with envy and then raised their glasses to Yu Yan. The atmosphere at the entire gathering was quite good. Only Su Xing sat alone in a corner, occasionally drinking with Yu Yan and at times drinking on his own. There was no scene of showing off or slapping faces as imagined. These classmates, although not particularly warm to Su Xing, did not go so far as to exclude him. Perhaps because of Fatty Yu''s face, a few classmates even toasted Su Xing several times. Su Xing responded in kind. Looking at the young faces before him, Su Xing couldn''t help but recall the scene from four years ago when school had just started. Back then, Su Xing was riding high, hailed as a once-in-a-decade talent at Kyoto Academy! sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With the robust physique of a Body Refinement Cultivator, Su Xing had even crushed those who had just barely reached the bronze level. He claimed first place in the newcomers'' competition... However, fate is unpredictable, and soon Su Xing found he couldn''t level up, and his strength hardly improved. The friends who were once keen on him gradually drifted away. Even the teachers were thoroughly disappointed in Su Xing... It wasn''t until half a year ago, when Su Xing got the golden finger, that he finally grew up completely. "In just half a year, from a mere Qi Refinement first stage cultivator... to becoming a Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouse... this really has been, a wondrous experience!" Su Xing thought to himself, feeling quite enlightened at the moment. "However, be it Qi Refinement or Divinity Transformation... bronze or legend... failing to become a top-tier powerhouse in this world means one will ultimately die in that unexpected change!" Su Xing silently took a sip of his drink, reminiscing about everything he had experienced in the Divinity Transformation''s fifth pass. He mused, "A cultivator, if seeking immortality, how can one be confined by trivialities? These years of cold glances, the ups and downs..." "They''re nothing more than a bit of frost during the process of cultivation!" Su Xing drained his glass in one gulp, his resolve to pursue the Dao growing even firmer. At that moment, Su Xing''s state of mind ascended... Late at night, after the gathering ended, Su Xing escorted a drunken Fatty Yu back to the dorm. Watching Yu Yan in deep slumber, Su Xing silently entered his Spirit Field, using spiritual power to disperse the effects of the alcohol. "Ah, time to continue alchemy!" Su Xing smoothly resumed his alchemy life. A week quickly passed by. In that week, most of Su Xing''s classmates graduated and left the school. But Su Xing''s life remained as regular as ever. Unexpectedly notified by Liu Xiaodong that he was being held back a year, Su Xing wasn''t annoyed and just continued with his alchemy. Soon, on July 8th, Su Xing brought the elixirs to meet Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue was wearing a beautiful red dress that day, vibrant and unrestrained. "Heehee, big boss... Congratulations on your graduation!" Jin Congxue smiled and said to Su Xing. Su Xing rolled his eyes and said: "Cut it out, I got held back!" Jin Congxue looked puzzled and inwardly exclaimed, "No way, with your strength, you''re being held back? Is Kyoto Academy''s barrier that high?" Su Xing briefly explained. Then he thought of something and said to Jin Congxue: "By the way, could you arrange a casual position for me within Kyoto Academy, like a librarian or something? School restarts in September, and I don''t want to stay in the same dorm with freshmen... A single dorm would be preferable, it would make things convenient for me!" After hearing this, Jin Congxue nodded slightly, understanding Su Xing''s intent. "Don''t worry, leave this trifle to me. You''ll report to the library tomorrow! The last one in the ranking?" After saying that, Jin Congxue covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, her demeanor very alluring. Su Xing also smiled, chatted with Jin Congxue a bit more, and then returned to the empty dorm with new stock for the week. "I wonder if Fatty Yu would get into trouble at Demon-Subduing Pass?" "Demon-Subduing Pass is relatively safe for now. I might be able to send him some treasures later if I get the chance... There shouldn''t be a big problem..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, then entered into the Spirit Field Blessed Land. After converting the new stock of goods into simulation energy, Su Xing''s energy increased by 16 million points. It was a considerable amount, but for Su Xing, who had experienced "big trades," it was only decent. On the afternoon of July 8, 2024, Su Xing punctually started a new round of simulation. "Start the simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 4,400 energy points, leaving 226.38 million energy points remaining. Remaining simulation attempts are unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points. Blue talent costs 10,000 energy points. Drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Would you like to draw?] "Draw the purple talent!" Su Xing silently recited. [Congratulations! You have obtained the purple talent: Tiny but Cute!] Chapter 218: Chapter 156: Top-Level Taunting, The Tiny Ones are Also Adorable! (5k) "Hmm?"Just seeing the name of the talent, Su Xing felt something was off. "Hey, hey, hey, just the name of this talent sounds fishy. Could it be what I''m thinking?" His gaze shifted to the introduction of the talent, and Su Xing''s hanging heart was put at ease. [Little ones can be cute too]: Purple Talent, when you say this sentence to the target person, no matter what your relationship is with them, they will instantly be taunted by you and harbor extreme hatred, becoming unable to resist attacking you, taunt effect +100%. (Hehe, little ones can be cute too~) "Good thing, this thing doesn''t trigger on me..." Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief and then began to ponder the use of this talent. "It seems to be a taunt talent that attracts hatred!" "So, scenarios where this could be useful... Is it when the target person wants to run away? As long as I say this sentence, they will be unable to resist attacking me?" With that thought, Su Xing''s eyes brightened. It seemed... quite suitable for dealing with that damned Zong! That old scoundrel is too good at running away. Despite being weaker than Su Xing, he managed to run for over a month. If I used this talent to taunt him, wouldn''t that mean he couldn''t get away? "Apart from that... It would also be useful when facing those Demon Emperors, should they attempt to flee!" Su Xing quickly understood the function of this talent and nodded slightly: "This talent isn''t particularly strong, but in certain situations, it could be particularly effective!" His gaze turned toward the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you are aware that you are in a simulation.] [The Spiritual Energy in the Blessed Land grows denser and denser, and to produce Spiritual Liquid quickly, you decide to transplant some Gathering Spirit Flowers and set up a few small Spirit Gathering Arrays dedicated to producing Spiritual Liquid.] [You spend half a month''s time, each day setting aside time to transplant Gathering Spirit Flowers and arrange the Spirit Gathering Arrays.] [Your Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique and proficiency in the Spirit Gathering Arrays has slightly improved.] [Half a month later, the Spirit Gathering Arrays begin to stably produce Spiritual Liquid, about a thousand drops each week.] [Although not much, it''s just enough for your personal cultivation needs, and the speed of your cultivation further accelerates.] [After cultivating for a period of time, you decide to visit the Luotian Meeting Instance to learn another fire attribute technique.] [You''ve saved up a day''s "Great Wisdom State" in advance, preparing to head to the Luotian Meeting Instance!] Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this. Su Xing has always been a dual-type Spiritual Root of wood and fire, theoretically able to cultivate both wood and fire type techniques simultaneously. But Su Xing had mainly focused on wood type techniques before because they could accelerate the growth of spiritual plants. But now that Su Xing has sufficient simulation energy, naturally, he could consider learning a fire type technique as well. Compared to wood type techniques, fire type techniques have more offensive capabilities and are quite helpful in Artifact Refining and Alchemy. It could even increase the power of Su Xing''s Li Fire Technique. "Activate immersive simulation feature, duration 24 hours!" Su Xing thought to himself. [Ding, you have successfully activated the immersive simulation feature for a duration of 24 hours, costing 2.4 million energy points, leaving a balance of 223.88 million energy points.] As the prompt sound from the simulator ended, Su Xing''s vision shifted. The next second, he appeared in the great hall of the Luotian Meeting Instance. "Good disciple, go and invite Uncle Master Shennong to the Luotian Meeting!" The voice of Niu Ruolie came from in front of him. "Yes, Master!" Su Xing easily made his way to the back hill, followed the mission routine, and brought Shennong Youtian to the Luotian Meeting square. The conversation with Shennong Youtian during the process was very enlightening for Su Xing. Then, Su Xing headed for the familiar Scripture Pavilion, straight to the third floor, where Earth Rank cultivation techniques and secret techniques were stored! Su Xing meticulously searched among the rows of shelves holding Jade Slips with cultivation techniques. However, the number of techniques here was overwhelming, and after searching for some time, Su Xing felt dizzy and unsure where to start. At that moment, a voice came from behind Su Xing. "Kid, are you looking for a fire type technique?" "On your left, the sixth shelf, third row, eleventh Jade Slip, you should check that one!" At these words, Su Xing looked up sharply but saw the old lady who had previously taught him the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique, standing there and quietly watching him. "Thank you, senior!" For some reason, Su Xing always felt a bit apprehensive about owing the old lady a favor. After giving her a bow, Su Xing hurried towards the shelf. Sure enough, at the place indicated by the old lady, Su Xing found a mid-tier Earth Rank technique, the "Thousand Flames Art!" "This technique seems to be just a mid-tier Earth Rank..." sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing frowned slightly, noting there were quite a few high-tier Earth Rank techniques on this level. Was he supposed to follow the old senior''s suggestion, forsaking the high-tier Earth Rank techniques and choosing only the mid-tier one? Just as Su Xing was hesitating, the old lady suddenly said: "You''re Niu Ruolie''s disciple Luo Xiaochuan, right?" "Mmm, you''re quite good, much stronger than that blockhead Master of yours back in the day..." "Not even a hundred years old, already at the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm... and even the Qi Refining Cultivation is at the fourth layer of Divinity Transformation..." After pausing, the old lady continued to explain: "Your Qi refining cultivation isn''t bad, but it seems the main technique you''re cultivating is a wood type technique of not-so-high rank?" "If so, when you''re about to break through to the Return to Void and enter the Integration Phase, you''ll probably have to switch cultivation techniques, wasting quite a bit of time..." "However, you have a rare dual-type Spiritual Root of wood and fire, giving you the opportunity to cultivate fire attribute techniques as well!" "This Thousand Flames Art, even though it''s only a mid-tier Earth Rank technique... it is actually the precursor to the Heavenly Grade Technique, the Thousand Flames Art. When the time is ripe, you can seamlessly transition to cultivating the Thousand Flames Art, saving you a great deal of effort!" After hearing the old lady''s guidance, Su Xing immediately stopped hesitating. Chapter 219: Chapter 156: Top Level Taunt, Even the Small Ones Are Cute! (5k)_2 Being a prerequisite for a Heavenly Grade Technique, this Thousand Flames Art must have exceptional qualities."Thank you, Grandma. May I ask how you are addressed?" The old woman fell silent for a moment before responding: "A name... it seems to have been too long ago. Just call me Ghost Grandma!" "However, my help in selecting a cultivation technique is naturally not without purpose... In a year, come back here, and I will have a favor to ask of you..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing raised an eyebrow. Ghost Grandma had said the same thing the last time they met. So, Su Xing became a bit curious. "Elder, what would you have me do for you?" Ghost Grandma simply smiled faintly: "Don''t worry, it won''t be too difficult for you! You''ll find out when the time comes!" After saying that, Ghost Grandma''s figure flashed and vanished from the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion. Su Xing was befuddled. But he decided to begin his cultivation first. Activating the Great Wisdom State, Su Xing''s memory and comprehension abilities significantly improved, and he started to memorize the Earth-Level Technique thoroughly. Soon, a day passed, and the immersion simulation ended. In the real world, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, his lips curving into a slight smile. "Not bad, the effects of The Great Wisdom in Foolishness are truly remarkable. At most, two more times, and I''ll have completely memorized this Earth-Level Technique!" Su Xing was very satisfied with this outcome, after all, spending a few million energy to acquire an Earth-Level Technique that could lead to a breakthrough to the Integration Phase or even the Mahayana Realm was definitely a worthwhile investment. His eyes turned toward the simulation panel. [After exiting the Luotian Meeting Instance, you plan to join the Descending Sect.] [You head to Shuangqing City in the southwest province. You''re in luck, and it takes less than three days to lure out Damned Zong.] [After a series of maneuvers, you successfully infiltrate the Descending Sect and obtain a batch of Spiritual Medicine.] [Later, while outwardly bonding with Damned Zong as brothers, you secretly contact Luo Shuying.] [With Luo Shuying''s help, you gain a large batch of Spiritual Medicine.] [In the second year, having accumulated a considerable amount of Elixirs, and as the most powerful Elder within the Descending Sect, your actions are relatively unrestricted.] [Thus, you go alone to Kyoto and re-enter the Luotian Meeting Instance!] Moved by what he saw, Su Xing once again used the immersion simulation function. A moment later, Su Xing exited the immersion simulation with a deeper grasp of the Earth-Level Technique, Thousand Flames Art. Afterward, Su Xing continued with the simulation. [In the third year, judging that the time was ripe, you flee the Descending Sect with Luo Shuying.] [After leaving the Sect, you and Luo Shuying face pursuit, but even worse off was Damned Zong.] [You pull out the Elixirs you have been concocting over the years, adding quite a number of strong warriors to the Great Xia Country.] [Following this, you prepare to enter the Luotian Meeting Instance for the third time!] "Activate the immersion simulation function, duration: 24 hours!" Su Xing muttered to himself. [Ding, you have successfully activated the immersion simulation function for 24 hours, costing 2.4 million energy points, with 219.08 million remaining.] Following the familiar mission process, Su Xing began to memorize the Earth-Level Technique, Thousand Flames Art. Quickly, a day passed, the immersion simulation ended, and Su Xing''s consciousness returned to the real world. Back in reality, with a slight smile on his lips, Su Xing murmured: "Worthy of an Earth-Level Technique, its power is indeed above that of the Changchun Technique!" "Practicing this technique, the Spiritual Energy will carry a burning effect, useful both offensively and in Alchemy... Even the consumption for unleashing fire-based Divine Skills is significantly reduced!" Su Xing was quite satisfied with the Earth-Level Technique, Thousand Flames Art. Unfortunately, he needed to start practicing this technique from the first level, but for Su Xing, who had already reached the Divinity Transformation Stage, with sufficient Cultivation Level, the speed of cultivation would likely be more than a hundred times faster than before. In at most just over twenty years, or the time of one simulation, Su Xing would be able to cultivate this technique to the fifth level, the Divinity Transformation level! "With the addition of the Thousand Flames Art, I have another layer of assurance... With this, even if I fail to obtain the Wanmu Decision in the ruins, my path after Return to Void remains unobstructed!" Su Xing whispered to himself, his gaze returning to the simulation panel. [After leaving the Luotian Meeting Instance, you did not rush to practice the Thousand Flames Art, but continued to improve your Cultivation Level.] [One day, while cultivating, you suddenly sense a familiar aurait''s Damned Zong!] [Sensing Damned Zong, you naturally won''t miss this great opportunity!] [After disguising yourself, you prepare to take him down for practice.] [As expected, your ambush is detected, and a fierce battle ensues.] [The fight lasts for two hours, and ultimately Damned Zong cannot match you and attempts to flee.] [Seeing Damned Zong trying to escape, a smirk appears at the corner of your mouth, and you teasingly say to Damned Zong, "Don''t be disheartened, the little efforts are also quite adorable!"] [Hearing your words, Damned Zong, who was prepared to fight for his life, stops in his tracks.] [He looks at you with a complex gaze, three parts shame and seven parts anger!] [Damned Zong decides not to flee and engages you in another battle!] [However, how could Damned Zong be your match now? After fighting for a day, you finally slay him.] [Before dying, Damned Zong destroys his Storage Magical Artifact, and his Primordial Spirit attempts to flee.] [But how could you let him escape? You directly capture his Primordial Spirit. Damned Zong pleads for his life.] Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Without hesitation, you incinerate his Primordial Spirit completely, and Damned Zong meets his end!] [Afterward, you inspect Damned Zong''s Storage Magical Artifact, but unfortunately, everything inside has been destroyed, leaving nothing behind.] Seeing this, Su Xing raised an eyebrow. Chapter 220: Chapter 156: Top-Level Taunting, The Tiny Ones are Also Adorable! (5k)_3 ```"Indeed, this talent really has an outstanding effect on that damned Zong! What would''ve normally taken a month of pursuit to resolve, now settled in just a day!" "But that complicated look in Zong''s eyes... could there be some unspeakable secret? No wonder his junior sister made him wear a green hat..." Su Xing seemed to have some understanding and then shook his head. "However, it''s a pity that this damned Zong was not a good thing! He wouldn''t even leave me his storage bag before he died..." "It seems that to get his treasures, I must achieve a one-hit kill!" Su Xing sighed lightly. But he had time, it was merely a matter of waiting a bit longer. His gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the fourth year, you spent most of your time in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, working hard to improve your cultivation level.] [In addition to taking Spiritual Liquid and meditating daily, you also spent two to three hours practicing Origin Force, hoping it would break through to the third stage of external projection sooner.] [With the aid of Spiritual Liquid, your cultivation level improved day by day, but your mastery over Origin Force remained slow as a turtle''s crawl.] [In the fifth year, aside from starting to practice Origin Force, you also began studying the Thousand Flames Art.] [Since you were already a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage, the training of the first five layers of the technique was exceedingly fast for you.] [In just half a year, your Thousand Flames Art stepped into the second layer.] [In the sixth year, your Thousand Flames Art smoothly entered into the third layer.] [In the seventh year, your cultivation level finally took another step forward, you became a five-layered Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator!] [Regrettably, your mastery of Origin Force still stagnated, progressing slowly.] Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this and muttered: "Is the mastery of Origin Force really so difficult?" "Seven years and still not touching the threshold of Great Perfection in the entwined level?" "If you calculate it like this... perhaps only an epiphany can lead to rapid progress!" Su Xing sighed, but then shook his head lightly, saying: "Well, if the Origin Force isn''t cultivated to Great Perfection at the entwined level, then the cultivation progress of the Thousand Flames Art... would be..." Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing had already started to consider an alternative plan, his gaze returning to the simulation panel. [In the eighth year, you continued to make rapid progress with the Thousand Flames Art, successfully mastering the fourth layer!] [In the same year, as your Qi Refining Cultivation improved, you felt that cultivation was becoming increasingly difficult.] [It''s a pity that there are only a bit more than hundred drops of Spiritual Liquid daily; if you were to cultivate freely, you could only maintain high-speed cultivation for one or two hours.] [But what troubled you the most was still the slow progress of Origin Force cultivation; without breaking through to the third layer, transcending would be hopeless...] [In the monotonous practice, two more years passed in the blink of an eye.] [In the tenth year, your Thousand Flames Art''s fourth layer had been cultivated to the ultimate step, and with a breakthrough, the progress in your two arts would be equal.] [After deepening your understanding of the Thousand Flames Art, you began to realize its formidable strength.] [The Changchun Technique emphasizes a kind of unending endurance, very helpful in enhancing your own recovery.] [Whereas the Thousand Flames Art is the ultimate in destructive power, and it can use different flames to aid in cultivation, combined with the Li Fire Technique, your cultivation speed increased even more.] [In the same year, your grasp of Origin Force had a minor breakthrough, and the entwined range could now cover your entire back.] [In the eleventh year, you began trying to remodel the Spirit Gathering Array, hoping to produce more Spiritual Liquid.] [Unfortunately, your research on the Spirit Gathering Array was insufficient, and after dozens of attempts, you still failed.] [You knew that to increase the production volume of Spiritual Liquid, you had to plant more Gathering Spirit Flowers and make the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Cave richer.] [But obviously, this was not too realistic in the short term, so you could only continue your arduous cultivation.] [In the twelfth year, your Thousand Flames Art finally broke through once more, successfully entering the fifth layer!] [At this time, the wood and fire Spiritual Energies within you faintly evoked a feeling of endlessness, and to your surprise, you discovered that wood attribute Spiritual Energy could slightly enhance the power of the fire attribute Spiritual Energy.] [During the same year, as you began using the Li Fire to aid cultivation, your cultivation level''s growth rate increased slightly.] [In the same year, your understanding and mastery of Origin Force had a small breakthrough, and the total amount of Origin Force in your body noticeably increased.] Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this, murmuring: "Indeed, if one cannot have an epiphany, relying on grinding experience is also a way to enhance the mastery of Origin Force to Great Perfection at the entwined level..." "But at the current pace, it would probably take at least two simulations to reach Great Perfection at the entwined level, right?" Su Xing''s brows knitted together slightly; this speed was clearly too slow for him. "Let''s just simulate it and see... If I don''t have an epiphany, the fifth layer of the Thousand Flames Art seems not bad, does it?" His gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the thirteenth year, after entering the fifth layer of the Thousand Flames Art, progress slowed down, but you were quite satisfied since the progress of your two arts was getting extremely close.] [In the same year, the progress of your Origin Force was still slow, and you did not achieve a breakthrough.] [In the fourteenth year, with the aid of Spiritual Liquid and the Thousand Flames Art, your cultivation level steadily grew, making you feel that you were not far from the six-tier Divinity Transformation Stage.] [In the fifteenth year, on a pleasant sunny morning, you suddenly gained insight, and as your aura steadily climbed, you made the breakthrough effortlessly.] [Congratulations for becoming a six-tiered Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator!] [In the sixteenth year, after breaking through to the six-tiered Divinity Transformation Stage, you felt that cultivation was getting more and more difficult.] [You understood that this was because the advantage of your Spiritual Root was no longer significant, the True Spiritual Root could only ensure that your cultivation speed was a few percent faster than that of a mid-Devinity Transformation Stage cultivator.] [But even so, with the help of Spiritual Liquid, your Qi Refining Cultivation was still climbing slowly.] [In the seventeenth year, one day during your routine cultivation of Origin Force, you controlled the Origin Force to wrap around every inch of your skin.] [However, the total amount of your Origin Force was not enough, always seeming slightly insufficient.] [After enduring many hours of rigorous practice, you finally felt a slight improvement.] [You wiped the sweat away and were about to take a break when suddenly you fell into a profound state.] [You triggered a serendipitous enlightenment from your talent!] ``` Chapter 224: Chapter 158: A Genius in Dao of Arrays Talent, Talent Lottery Pool Mechanism (5k) "Let me first see how much energy valuation this week''s goods actually carry?"Su Xing''s mind stirred as he took out the storage ring Jin Congxue had given him. [Ding, white-grade equipment detected, total energy value 7.38 million points...] [Ding, detected a large amount of energy materials, total energy value 8.97 million points...] [Ding, detected a large amount of energy ores, total energy value 13.04 million points...] Su Xing quickly calculated that this week''s goods had provided a total of 29.39 million points of energy! Among them, just the exotic metals were valued at 13.09 million energy points! Almost half the ratio! "Goodness, these exotic metals really are an excellent substance for providing energy points indeed!" Su Xing exclaimed. Most of the exotic metals in this storage ring were first-grade. One kilogram was about worth 20 points of energy, with a ton being 20,000 points of energy! And now the Tarot Commerce Association had contracted two copies of the mining zones that could extract these exotic metals, which meant they could mine 650 tons of exotic metals in a week! The quantity sounded immense, but due to the high density of the exotic metals, it didn''t look very voluminous. The most important aspect was the stability of this source of energy points. Moreover, the cost was extremely low; all Su Xing needed to pay was the annual leasing fee for the two copies of the mining zones and the wages of the laborers. Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And these two exotic metals mining zones could even suffice for Su Xing to exploit for twenty years! "Hiss~ Looking at it this way, exotic metals indeed constitute a major source of energy points!" "Perhaps, it''s time to give Jin Congxue a heads up... In the future, I should find a way to acquire more exotic metals so I can get even more energy points!" Su Xing thought to himself, then his gaze turned toward the simulation panel. "The mining zone copies aren''t an urgent matter for now, but it''s time to start a new round of simulation!" On the afternoon of July 15th, 2024, the New Era, Su Xing punctually initiated the forty-fifth simulation. "Start simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 4500 points of energy, remaining energy 198.47 million points, remaining simulation times unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting a green talent costs 1000 points of energy, a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, extracting a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy, would you like to extract?] Without hesitation, Su Xing silently commanded: "Extract the Purple Talent!" [Congratulations, you have obtained the Purple Talent: Dao of Arrays Prodigy!] "Hmm? Dao of Arrays?" Su Xing looked puzzled and glanced at the simulation panel. [Dao of Arrays Prodigy]: Purple Talent, your comprehension of the Dao of Arrays far exceeds that of ordinary people, making it easier for you to become a revered master of arrays. After seeing the new talent, Su Xing couldn''t help but quip: "Well, aren''t we blooming in every direction? Now all I''m missing is a talent for talismans, right?" Su Xing criticized lightheartedly, as it seemed the simulator''s talents were obviously pushing him toward becoming a well-rounded prodigy. Although there was nothing wrong with that, what was most crucial for Su Xing at the present was to increase his cultivation level. Once his cultivation was sufficient, or when needed, it would also be nice to learn these sidelines. "Well, no surprise I didn''t draw the Purple Spiritual Root Talent... Looks like I have to find a way to get more Spiritual Liquid this time." "As for this Dao of Arrays Talent, let''s keep it in the talent pool for now!" Su Xing''s mind moved, and he clicked open the simulation panel in front of him. What was previously text on the simulation turned into a retro-looking prize machine. This prize machine was the prize pool feature unlocked by the second upgrade of the simulator. The specific function was that Su Xing needed to spend a certain number of points to enter different levels of prize pools. For instance, to draw a white talent, each draw would cost 100 points of energy. The draw''s objective was the white talents Su Xing had previously drawn but not taken out. To extract a green one, it would cost one thousand points, blue would cost ten thousand points, and a purple talent would cost one hundred thousand points... According to the simulator, such as if Su Xing entered the purple prize pool, the probability of drawing any purple talent was equal. With just over ten talents in Su Xing''s current purple talent pool, this meant that with a bit of bad luck, he could draw it with just over a million points of energy. This was fairly reasonable. After drawing a past talent, Su Xing could assign it as the talent choice for the next simulation. This way, it could be chosen to take out after the simulation. "However, it seems there''s still no occasion to use the current few talents, I''ll designate them when it''s appropriate, right?" Su Xing murmured to himself, and then got ready for the simulation. His eyes returned to the simulation panel. [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [You immediately set about arranging a Spirit Gathering Array to speed up the accumulation of Spiritual Liquid.] [A week later, Spiritual Liquid production begins in the Spirit Field Cave.] [The quantity is not large, barely 150 drops a day, but you still treasure it immensely.] [With a thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid added to your account weekly, little adds up to much, and in a year, that''s more than 50,000 drops; you are quite satisfied.] [You plan to join the Descending Sect as soon as possible, so you restrain your aura, undergo a disguise, and travel to Shuangqing City in the southwestern province.] [You''re quite lucky and quickly spot Damned Zong.] [After some maneuvers, you successfully join the Descending Sect and even trade Life Extension Pills for many medicinal ingredients from Damned Zong.] [After joining the Descending Sect, you keep a low profile and contact Luo Shuying, obtaining a large batch of Spiritual Medicine from her.] [Subsequently, you cultivate step by step and collect the Spiritual Liquid produced in the Spirit Field.] [You once showed Damned Zong a small vial of Spiritual Liquid (about 10,000 drops), and his eyes nearly popped out.] [Clearly, from his reaction, you also understand the preciousness of Spiritual Liquid in this era.] Chapter 225: Chapter 158: A Genius in Dao of Arrays Talent, Talent Lottery Pool Mechanism (5k)_2 ```[Damned Zong indicated his willingness to trade Divine Skills for the Spiritual Liquid in your possession, and you were tempted. So, you asked him what kind of Cultivation Technique he would offer.] [Damned Zong took out techniques similar to "Soul Snatching Spell," "Poison Heart Spell," and "Blood Sacrifice Technique," all of which were vicious spells.] [These spells were not only of low grade and had significant side effects, but they were also extremely malicious, often requiring the sacrifice of living souls.] [Naturally, you didn''t set your sights on such spells, but you knew that Damned Zong wouldn''t sincerely trade with you and offer his best items, so there was no choice but to give up.] Su Xing shook his head slightly and scoffed: "So you, Damned Zong, actually want me to become an evil cultivator like you? Truly malevolent!" "But it doesn''t matter if you don''t want to trade now... Once I''ve killed you, all the treasures and Cultivation Techniques you possess will be mine!" Su Xing felt that it didn''t matter whether he traded with Damned Zong or not. Eventually, when he killed him in reality, the contents of Damned Zong''s Storage Magical Artifact would sooner or later belong to Su Xing. sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "However, the value of this Spiritual Liquid is indeed unexpectedly high... If I can really find the Cultivation World in the future, in this era of scarce Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Liquid could probably be traded for quite a few treasures!" With that thought in mind, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [Your trade with Damned Zong failed, and both sides secretly coveted each other''s treasures, but on the surface, you both acted as if you were old friends for many years.] [In the following year, you spent most of your time cultivating within the Spirit Field Cave, either learning Thousand Flames Art, increasing your mastery of Spiritual Power, or making Elixirs.] [In one year, you collected nearly fifty thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid.] [You stored them in specially made small jade bottles, each containing about ten thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid or roughly fifty milliliters.] [The second year, your mastery of the Earth-Level Technique, Thousand Flames Art, broke through to the second layer.] [At the same time, you crafted a large batch of Elixirs, and most of the Spiritual Medicines in the Descending Sect''s treasury were embezzled by you.] [Believing the time was right, you eloped with Luo Shuying out of the Descending Sect.] [You made direct contact with the Great Xia Military, and with the Elixirs at hand and your own strength, you achieved a very high status within the military.] [Even if the Descending Sect wanted to pursue and kill you, they were powerless to do so.] [As the saying goes, ''A fire at the city gates brings disaster to the fish in the moat,'' and Damned Zong became the scapegoat, now on the run.] [The third year, you crafted tens of thousands of Elixirs, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level warriors to Great Xia Country.] [The same year, your mastery over Thousand Flames Art advanced to the third layer.] [This year, the amount of Spiritual Liquid you had reached nearly a hundred and fifty thousand drops, but you didn''t use a single drop, saving all of it.] [Every day, apart from spending an hour collecting Spiritual Liquid, you spent the rest of the time cultivating Origin Force and Thousand Flames Art.] [This left you several hours of free time, which you decided to use to expand the scale of the Gathering Spirit Flowers in order to harvest more Spiritual Liquid.] [You planted five hundred seeds of the Gathering Spirit Flower, and just tending to these seeds took several hours of your day.] [Any more would have impacted your cultivation.] [The fourth year saw a minor breakthrough in your control of Origin Force, bringing you close to the level of external release.] [The Spiritual Energy armor entwining your body became more solid, and the Origin Force within you was more abundant.] [This year, your count of Spiritual Liquid reached two hundred thousand drops!] [The fifth year, the five hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers you planted all matured, resulting in a slight increase in the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Field Cave.] [Each week, you harvested approximately eleven hundred drops of Spiritual Liquid, and within a year, nearly sixty thousand drops were collected.] [You planted another five hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers, waiting for the next harvest in two years.] [The sixth year, you made a breakthrough in your mastery of the Earth-Level Technique, Thousand Flames Art, successfully entering the fourth layer!] [Unfortunately, your mastery over Origin Force was still firmly at the Great Perfection of the coiling level, and you were eager to break through further.] [This year, you collected another nearly sixty thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid, bringing your total to three hundred and sixty thousand drops!] [The seventh year, your second batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers matured, and the content of Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Cave increased once more.] [That year you harvested sixty-three thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid!] [You skillfully planted a new batch of Gathering Spirit Flower seeds.] [The eighth year, you harvested sixty-three thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid, bringing your total to nearly four hundred and ninety thousand drops.] [The ninth year, a new batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers matured, enriching the Spiritual Essence content in your Spirit Field Blessed Land even further.] [That year, your harvest of Spiritual Liquid increased once again to sixty-four thousand drops.] [You also noticed that as the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers grew, the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land did improve, but was hard to break through a certain threshold.] [It seemed to always remain at the level of a low-tier Cave Realm; unless there was a major change, it would be difficult for the Spirit Field Cave to transform.] [Hence you stopped planting Gathering Spirit Flowers and focused on collecting Spiritual Liquid, devoting more efforts to cultivating Divine Skills and Origin Force.] Su Xing nodded slightly to himself. Although Gathering Spirit Flowers were miraculous natural treasures, their ability to enhance the Spiritual Energy in a particular space was not endless. Unless their numbers were truly vast, like the Luo Tian Sect''s one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers. Such a quantity might cause a quantitative change that leads to a qualitative transformation, enhancing the level of the Spirit Field Cave. Alternatively, setting up a large-scale Spirit Gathering Array combined with a high-class Spirit Vein might also significantly improve the quality of Spiritual Energy and, thereby, upgrade the level of the Spirit Field Cave. ``` Chapter 226: Chapter 158: A Prodigy of the Dao of Arrays, The Talent Lottery Pool Mechanism (5k)_3 "However, these conditions are still a bit too harsh for me right now... The main issue is that I don''t have enough simulated energy!"Su Xing sighed and muttered: "Now, with an annual output of over 60,000 drops of Spiritual Liquid, the quantity is sufficient. If I had any more, I''m afraid I wouldn''t have enough simulated energy to exchange for it..." His gaze turned to the simulated panel. [In the tenth year, you have accumulated a total of 610,000 drops of Spiritual Liquid over these ten years, which you have kept in small jade vials and carefully placed in boxes.] [Seeing the number of jade vials increasing, you feel a strong sense of achievement.] [In the eleventh year, your mastery over Origin Force has become more proficient, and you feel that you are not far from reaching the third layer of external release of Origin Force.] [That same year, you reach a total of 670,000 drops of Spiritual Liquid!] [In the twelfth year, on a peaceful afternoon, you finish your meal and continue your routine exercise of Origin Force.] [You wrap Origin Force around every inch of your skin, constantly experiencing the wonders of Origin Force.] [Suddenly, you feel the shackles that had been troubling you silently unlock, and your mastery of Origin Force naturally reaches the third layer, external release!] Seeing this, Su Xing heaved a sigh of relief and muttered: "Finally, I''ve broken through to the third layer of Origin Force... From the peak of the encircling stage to the external release stage... Without the power of sudden enlightenment, does it really take twelve years of natural cultivation?" Su Xing nodded slightly. This pace was not fast, but it was within his expectations. [After breaking through to the external release stage of Origin Force, you can''t wait to experience it.] [You focus your energy in your Dantian and start to control the two forces within your body, Origin Force and Spiritual Power...] Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The light punch directly turns an entire piece of fourth-rank special metal into powder!] [You must know that you didn''t exert any strength, this brutal destructiveness comes solely from Origin Force!] [You quickly realize that if Origin Force cultivation is powerful enough to extend several feet or even tens of feet from the body, it would be a nightmare for all Qi Refiners!] [Afterward, you attempt to wrap Origin Force around the Ink Ice Sword, but since you''ve just entered the external release stage, you still can''t control it as you wish.] [To prevent the Ink Ice Sword from being damaged, you can only stop the attempt for now and plan to try again once your control over Origin Force is more proficient.] [In the thirteenth year, after breaking through in Origin Force, you put more thought into cultivating the Thousand Flames Art.] [Over more than ten years, your comprehension of the Thousand Flames Art has swiftly improved, and it is close to the fifth stage.] [That same year, you have collected a total of 800,000 drops of Spiritual Liquid!] [In the fourteenth year, the Cultivation Technique Thousand Flames Art naturally breaks through, reaching the fifth stage.] [After cultivating the Thousand Flames Art to the fifth layer, combined with the Li Fire Technique, your absorption of Spiritual Energy becomes even faster than that of the Changchun Technique.] [So you took the Thousand Flames Art as your primary Cultivation Technique, and your cultivation speed slightly increased.] [In the fifteenth year, although you have not used Spiritual Liquid to aid your cultivation these years, fifteen years of accumulation still allowed your Cultivation Level to advance greatly from the seventh stage of Divinity Transformation, leaving you not far from the eighth stage.] [In the sixteenth year, you continued to diligently collect Spiritual Liquid every day. This year, the total amount of Spiritual Liquid you possess breaks through one million drops!] [In the seventeenth year, your Qi Refining Cultivation progresses further, and you become a Cultivator of the eighth Divine Transformation Stage!] Seeing this, Su Xing slightly frowned and muttered: "As expected, cultivation during the Divinity Transformation Stage is more difficult than I imagined... Especially in the later stages of Divinity Transformation, it''s extraordinarily difficult to advance!" "Without the aid of Spiritual Liquid, natural cultivation alone takes a full seventeen years to break through a single realm?" Su Xing knew that this pace was not slow, but he still wasn''t satisfied. "Fortunately, with the aid of Spiritual Liquid in the future, my cultivation speed should advance further, right?" Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulated panel. [In the eighteenth year, with your round-the-clock hard work, your grasp of the Thousand Flames Art has come to rival that of the Changchun Technique.] [The advantage of the fire attribute Cultivation Technique has somewhat increased the power of the Li Fire Technique, and your offensive abilities have strengthened considerably.] [In the nineteenth year, with years of hard work, your mastery of Origin Force has become more skilled.] [You can now safely wrap Origin Force externally around the Spirit Sword, but you can''t maintain it for too long, or it will exhaust your Origin Force tremendously.] [Yet Origin Force coated with Spiritual Energy has significantly enhanced your strength!] [The Sword Intent you''ve comprehended from Human Sword perfection, coupled with Origin Force attached to the Spirit Sword Mo Bing, becomes your strongest method of attack.] [With this trump card, your strength has increased by more than thirty percent!] [The boost in strength has given you enormous confidence, and you can''t wait to try if you can defeat the Puppet guarding the ancient tomb relics.] [But with six more years until the twenty-five-year deadline, would it not be a waste if you were to be defeated by the Puppet?] [So you decide to play it safe for now, planning to collect enough Spiritual Liquid before challenging it later.] [In the twentieth year, the number of Spiritual Liquid you possess reaches an astonishing 1.25 million drops.] [That same year, you visit the Immortal Martial Era Instance.] [You don''t intend to go directly to the ancient tomb relic, but first, you visit the three major sects to get your hands on three pieces of broken jade and Cultivation Techniques.] Chapter 234: Chapter 161 An Unexpected Epiphany, Minor Success in Projecting Origin Force! (5k)_2 [That year, you produced over one hundred thousand elixirs, and due to the high rate of superior-grade elixirs, Great Xia Country gained over thirty thousand Grandmaster Level professionals, as well as hundreds of Heavenly King Level powerhouses.][In the sixth year, after arriving in Kyoto, your life continued to be as regulated as ever.] [You took three hundred drops of Spiritual Liquid daily, in conjunction with practicing the Thousand Flames Art for six hours.] [The rest of the time, you spent cultivating Origin Force and refining elixirs.] [That year, you crafted fifty thousand elixirs, adding nearly twenty thousand Grandmaster strongmen to the Great Xia Country.] [In the seventh year, you exhausted all the medicinal materials brought from the Descending Sect, once again bolstering Great Xia with a large batch of powerhouses.] [In the same year, aided by the Spiritual Liquid and Earth-Level Techniques, your cultivation finally broke through!] [You became a Divinity Transformation Stage Eighth Level Cultivator!] Su Xing nodded slightly upon reading this and murmured, "While refining elixirs and cultivating Origin Force, to still manage a breakthrough to Divinity Transformation within seven years, indeed the effects of Spiritual Liquid are formidable!" Su Xing was very satisfied with this. With the progress thus far, by saving the time spent on alchemy, Su Xing''s cultivation speed would only get faster. This simulation made the breakthrough to Divinity Transformation Stage Great Perfection no longer just a dream! [In the eighth year, you spent only half an hour daily refining elixirs, just to maintain your touch.] [The rest of the time, you devoted yourself entirely to cultivation.] [As time progressed, your mastery over Origin Force became increasingly proficient, and you could sense that you were not far from achieving an externally manifested level of Origin Force.] [In the ninth year, aside from your cultivation, you took a trip to the Immortal Martial Era Instance.] [Sure enough, you encountered the trace of that Damned Zong in the instance.] [Afterward, you spent half a month hunting him down and annihilated his Primordial Spirit.] [In the tenth year, you returned to the real world and continued your cultivation.] [With the Heart of Enlightenment Elixir along with Spiritual Liquid, your cultivation level increased rapidly, progressing daily.] [In the monotonous life of cultivating, you didn''t find it dull but rather enjoyed each day contentedly.] [In the blink of an eye, another two years passed.] [In the twelfth year, your mastery of Origin Force became even more refined. The Enveloping Level Origin Force could not only cover your entire body but even showed signs of separating from it.] [You knew in your heart that you were not far from the third stage of Origin Force - the externally manifested level.] [In the thirteenth year, on a tranquil and sunny morning, you were cultivating Origin Force as usual.] [Suddenly, you felt a sensation, and the Origin Force within you began to tremble slightly.] [Consequently, your mastery of Origin Force naturally reached the third stage - externally manifested!] [After the re-cultivation to externally manifested Origin Force, you were overjoyed and couldn''t wait to experiment with it.] [According to Ghost Grandma, Origin Force could temper a Spirit Sword, and since you were a Sword Cultivator, this would allow the sword to become your personal magical treasure.] [But since you were still not proficient enough in the external manifestation of Origin Force, you didn''t rush to nurture the Spirit Sword but constantly strengthened your grasp on Origin Force!] Su Xing couldn''t help feeling a bit elated upon reading this. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Whew, even though I chose Thousand Flames Art for ensuring an absolute breakthrough to Divinity Transformation Great Perfection during the last simulation, the third stage of Origin Force is still so tempting!" "No matter what, once this simulation ends, I must bring back the insights into Origin Force!" "I really want to see, just how powerful is this externally manifested Origin Force?" Su Xing was eagerly looking forward to the surge in strength that was about to occur. His gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the fourteenth year, you practiced day and night. Your Qi Refining Cultivation took another great leap forward, leaving you a mere step away from Divinity Transformation Stage Nine.] [Moreover, after reaching the externally manifested level of Origin Force, you still practiced it daily, and your Origin Force grew increasingly profound.] [In the fifteenth year, Heaven rewards the diligent, and your cultivation level finally broke through.] [Congratulations on becoming a Divinity Transformation Stage Nine Level Cultivator!] Su Xing sighed with relief upon reading this. By the fifteenth year, Su Xing had reached Divinity Transformation Stage Nine, and with ten years left, the Great Perfection of Divinity Transformation Stage was almost guaranteed! "With Divinity Transformation Great Perfection, coupled with Divine Strength Realm perfection, along with Sword Intent and externally manifested Origin Force..." "With such power, I should indeed rank as the first below Legendary, shouldn''t I!?" Su Xing couldn''t help but shake his head merrily. Su Xing believed that even in the vast Cultivation World, below the Return to Void and Divinity Transformation realms, his current strength would be among the very best. His gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the sixteenth year, the breakthrough in your cultivation didn''t make you complacent. You remained humble and composed, with a serene mind, striving toward the final goal of Divinity Transformation Stage Great Perfection!] [In the seventeenth year, even with the help of the Great Xia Military, Luo Shuying''s homeland was still conquered by the Foreign Race.] [Thousands of Spirit Race people fled to the Demon-Subduing Pass, joining the battlefield there.] [During this period, you specifically went to observe the Demon-Subduing Pass battlefield and noticed that after the Spirit Race''s world was breached, the number of Demonic Beasts at the Pass had significantly increased.] "Hmm?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow upon reading this; it was news he had never paid attention to before. The coordinates of Luo Shuying''s hometown must have been close to Blue Star, with a dedicated instance portal. It was precisely because of this that Luo Shuying and the Spirit Race people could come to Blue Star. But after the Spirit Race''s annihilation, the pressure increased at the Demon-Subduing Pass, and the number of Demonic Beasts grew. This suggested that after the Foreign Race conquered other worlds, their forces might be directed toward worlds they followed up on. "So, according to this, when the twenty-five-year deadline comes, and hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts arrive at the Demon-Subduing Pass..." Chapter 239: Chapter 163: The Secret of Return to Void, Rumors of the Void Domain! (5k) Su Xing sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed.Feeling, guiding the Origin Force within his body. Just like bamboo shoots breaking through the soil after a spring rain shower. The layer of Origin Force armor covering Su Xing''s body also protruded a few inches outwards. This kind of progress was remarkable. Originally, Su Xing could barely control the Origin Force to wrap around the surface of his skin. But now, Su Xing could not only wrap it, he could also feel the subtle and different changes of the Origin Force. The surge in Su Xing''s Cultivation Level of Origin Force continued for several minutes before it slowly subsided. Afterward, Su Xing stretched out his hands, sensing the invisible force on them. Like wind, yet also like fire. Invisible like wind, and as destructively powerful as fire. A thought crossed Su Xing''s mind, and a strand of Origin Force detached from his palm. He then guided the strand of Origin Force, sending it flying towards a boulder a few meters away. A few breaths later, the boulder was still intact. At that moment, a gentle breeze blew by, and the boulder over a meter tall unexpectedly crumbled into fine sand. "Tsk tsk... Crushing a boulder into sand with brute force isn''t difficult..." "But the strength of Origin Force lies in its invisibility!" "If in combat, you silently inject Origin Force into the enemy''s body, by the time the enemy realizes it, I''m afraid their internal organs will have been shaken into blood!" Su Xing''s mouth curved slightly upward, clearly very satisfied with this method of inner destruction through Origin Force. With this skill of separating Origin Force from the body, from a few meters away, even against a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse, Su Xing could silently assassinate them! "Then, let''s try wrapping it around the Spirit Sword next!" A thought rose in Su Xing''s heart, and the Ink Ice Sword appeared in his hand. Immediately after, Su Xing guided the Origin Force, covering the entire Ink Ice Sword in his hand. The Ink Ice Sword trembled slightly, emitting soft whistling sounds. It seemed to be enjoying the touch of the Origin Force. Su Xing slightly felt the strength of the Ink Ice Sword. Its toughness had doubled in strength, and even the spirit within the sword seemed more abundant. If the original Ink Ice Sword were a legendary weapon, then after covering it with Origin Force, for a brief moment it would likely surpass even a legendary existence! When Su Xing withdrew the Origin Force, the Ink Ice Sword returned to its original state. But Su Xing could feel that in those brief few minutes, the Ink Ice Sword had imperceptibly improved. "So that''s how it is, Origin Force can be both soft and hard..." "Using Origin Force to nourish a Magic Artifact, thereby transforming it into an Origin Artifact... is the process of forging the Magic Artifact with Origin Force!" "The stronger a Cultivator''s Origin Force, and the longer the Origin Force is wrapped around it, the greater the enhancement of the Magic Artifact will be!" Su Xing estimated that those Body Refinement Cultivators'' life-bound Magic Artifacts must have been nourished by Origin Force for hundreds or even thousands of years to truly become Origin Artifacts, far surpassing ordinary Magic Artifacts. After withdrawing the Origin Force, the Spirit Sword in Su Xing''s hand emitted a series of whistles. Su Xing could feel that the Ink Ice Sword seemed to be expressing dissatisfaction, as if it wanted more Origin Force. "Don''t worry, once my Origin Force grows stronger... I will feed you every day!" Su Xing whispered a few words to the Ink Ice Sword, and it ceased its protest. "Tsk tsk, after this simulation, my strength has probably increased by at least close to fifty percent!" "If I want to make another breakthrough, I must consider the matter of the Broken Void Realm..." Su Xing murmured softly, his gaze turning toward the simulation panel. On the afternoon of July 29, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing promptly began a new round of simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 4700 points of energy, remaining energy is 15.04 million points, remaining number of simulations is unlimited.] [Simulation started!] [Extracting a green talent costs 1000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, extracting a Purple Talent costs 100,000 energy points, do you wish to extract?] "Extract Purple Talent!" Su Xing chanted silently. [Congratulations, you have obtained the Purple Talent: Friend of Animals!] [Friend of Animals]: A Purple Talent, you possess an astonishing attraction and affinity for all animals and spirit beasts, easily garnering their liking, and they have an innate trust in you. You can also understand the languages of all animals and spirit beasts. "Hm? This talent... seems like an advanced version of the Beast Speech level ten I had gotten before?" Su Xing arched his eyebrows, remembering the level ten Beast Speech talent he had acquired. It was when he got caught by that damned Zong for the first time and almost refined into a Human Pill. Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At that time, that damned Zong brought out a very strange Gu Insect. If it wasn''t for Su Xing being able to understand the language of the Gu Insects, he would have probably been tortured to the brink. "Compared to the level ten Beast Speech talent, the Purple Talent Friend of Animals... seems to have the added ability to win animal affection?" "It''s just unknown how potent the effect of winning their affection is." Su Xing pondered reflectively. The talent to gain favor with spirit beasts wasn''t bad; if there was a chance in the future to enter the Cultivation World, maybe he could contract a Spirit Pet. If being a Descendant of Shennong means affinity with plants, then Friend of Animals is the affinity for animals; both are of the same category. "However... the most urgent thing for me now is to improve my Cultivation Level even further!" "Friend of Animals can directly replace level ten Beast Speech... If extracted at the right time, it can even save the money for an additional talent slot; not a bad deal!" Su Xing murmured. Afterward, Su Xing set a target plan for this simulation session. "If I could take another step further in mastering Origin Force, that would naturally be excellent..." "Of course, beside Origin Force, it''s also time to start learning Protective Gang Qi!" "After that, it will be about seeking the secrets to breaking through to the Return to Void Realm, as well as finding the ultimate challenging location..." Chapter 240: Chapter 163: The Secret of Return to Void, Rumors of the Void Domain! (5k)_2 Su Xing closed his eyes and went over these targets in his mind, then he officially began the simulation.[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [Suddenly, the distant Spirit Chickens started clucking noisily. They looked at you with eyes filled with deep admiration.] [You can hear them constantly calling you "Chicken Bro, Chicken Bro," as if you were their leader.] [You understand that this is the "Animal Kinship" talent at work.] [At this moment, you feel something unusual about the soil beneath your feet. It turns out to be the Spirit Earthworms you had planted before, expressing their affection for you.] [You soothe the Spirit Earthworms for a while, hoping they will evolve into Earth Dragons soon.] [After hearing this, the Spirit Earthworms immediately feel invigorated and burrow back into the Spirit Field, diligently fertilizing and loosening the soil.] [Once Origin Force reaches the external-release level, you can begin to try practicing the Protective Gang Qi.] [Thus, in the following period, while waiting for news from Jin Congxue, you attempt to cultivate Protective Gang Qi.] [The difficulty in cultivating Protective Gang Qi lies in keeping the Origin Force about a foot, roughly thirty centimeters, from the surface of the skin.] [And you have just succeeded in doing so, so you try to control the Origin Force at a distance of three feet from your skin.] [Afterward, following the method of Protective Gang Qi, you slowly shape the Origin Force into a surrounding shield, protecting yourself within it.] [The whole process is a great drain on the Origin Force.] [Every day, you can only practice for two hours before the Origin Force in your body is depleted, and you must wait for it to recover before continuing.] [But to your surprise, by practicing this Divine Skill of Origin Force, Protective Gang Qi, you''re able to squeeze out the utmost from the Origin Force within your body, even quicker than your previous cultivation practices.] [A month later, Jin Congxue contacts you. She tells you that the matter of the Mining District Copies has been settled, and the Tarot Society has gained four more Mining District Copies.] [You are delighted, but you remain cautiously in Kyoto to see the reaction of the Great Xia Military.] [During this time, you take a trip to the Luotian Meeting Instance.] [After getting permission from the instance administrator, you successfully enter the Luotian Meeting Instance.] Su Xing, having seen this, is moved and silently intones: "Activate the immersive simulation feature! Duration: 24 hours!" [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation feature, costing 2.4 million energy points, with 12.54 million energy points remaining.] As the simulator''s prompt tone finishes, Su Xing sees his vision change for a moment. The next second, Su Xing appears in the familiar grand hall. "Good disciple, go to the back mountain and call your Uncle Shennong to attend the Luo Tian Meeting..." It''s still Niu Ruolie standing in front of Su Xing, instructing him. But this time, Su Xing doesn''t leave right away. Instead, he asks: "Master, I am confused about something, regarding the nurturing of a Spiritual Artifact into an Origin Artifact..." Niu Ruolie nods slightly after hearing this, not urging Su Xing to go to the back mountain but saying: "You''re the most perceptive disciple I have ever taught. Not yet a hundred years old, you have already cultivated Origin Force to the third stage, the external-release level!" "Even I was not as good as you back in the day!" "Do you know into how many categories our cultivators'' weapons are divided?" Without waiting for Su Xing to answer, Niu Ruolie continues: "The magic treasures of cultivators, from low to high, are Talisman Artifacts, Magic Artifacts, Precious Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts... and even the legendary Immortal Artifacts!" "Generally speaking, when a magic treasure is initially forged, its foundation and material have already determined its level, and it''s difficult to change later." "However, it''s different for us Body Refinement Cultivators'' Origin Artifacts!" "Body Refinement Cultivators, who cultivate the body, call it the Origin Artifact!" "As long as the Origin Artifact is nurtured long enough by you, even the lowest-level Talisman Artifact can become an existence surpassing Immortal Artifacts!" Having said that, Niu Ruolie shouts, and a phantom Blood Red Axe appears behind him. Niu Ruolie reaches out and grasps, and this phantom giant axe becomes solid, appearing in his hand. This giant axe is a whole ten feet long, entirely red, emitting a strong odor of blood and a burning sensation of flames. Su Xing, standing ten feet away from this Blood Red Giant Axe, can still feel oppressed by a powerful aura and even finds it hard to breathe. Niu Ruolie dances with the giant axe in front of Su Xing. The powerful aura that bursts forth even causes birds outside the hall to fall from the sky. A few minutes later, Niu Ruolie puts away the giant axe and exclaims softly. The giant axe once again turns into a phantom and disappears into Niu Ruolie''s body. Su Xing is so shocked by this scene that he is at a loss for words. And Niu Ruolie looks at Su Xing proudly, saying: "Good disciple, what do you think of your master''s skill with this axe?" "Just now, that was my Origin Artifact, the Open Heaven Axe!" "Hahaha... Of course, when I first named this axe, I just wanted something awe-inspiring!" Pausing for a moment, Niu Ruolie''s eyes reveal a hint of nostalgia as he says: "I remember when I first joined the Luo Tian Sect, that was over two thousand years ago, huh?" "Back then, I was just a little Qi Refinement Realm cultivator... Later, I accidentally turned to the path of Body Cultivation..." "And when I later comprehended Origin Force, the axe I nurtured was the one I used to chop wood daily." "Yes, you heard right! This axe was initially nothing more than the most ordinary wood-cutting axe! But now, it has become an existence that rivals Immortal Artifacts!" Saying this, Niu Ruolie''s face shows a trace of pride. "And all of this is thanks to the power of Origin Force!" sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Origin Force is infinitely wondrous, its applications are not inferior to Spiritual Power... As long as you nurture the Origin Artifact with enough patience, it will become more and more powerful." Chapter 241: Chapter 163: The Secret of Return to Void, Rumors of the Void Domain! (5k)_3 ```"As your mentor, I have nurtured this axe for over eighteen hundred years now, haven''t I?" Upon hearing this, Su Xing felt an immense shock in his heart. He recalled the thick murderous aura and the stench of blood on that red giant axe, as well as the blazing inferno that seemed capable of burning everything in the world to ashes. That terrifying aura that almost made Divinity Transformation Cultivators unable to look at it directly... Two thousand years ago, was this mountain-splitting axe really just an ordinary wood-chopping axe? The difference was truly astonishing! Seeming to see Su Xing''s shock, Niu Ruolie explained: "The nurturing of an Origin weapon lies in the use of it!" "Ordinary magical treasures and weapons, even if made from high-quality materials, will suffer in quality over time through the erosion of the years and countless battles..." "But Origin weapons are different!" "We, Body Refinement Cultivators, wrap Origin Force around Origin weapons during battles, which acts as a buffer for the weapon, such that ordinary weapons colliding with it couldn''t possibly harm our Origin weapons." "Furthermore, regular maintenance and polishing, and even your feelings for the Origin weapon, can make it stronger and stronger..." "If you were a little stronger, you could integrate the Origin weapon into your body and nurture it with your own blood and Origin Force, eventually forming your destiny''s Origin weapon. By then, the Origin weapon in your hand would be no less powerful than any magical treasure!" Su Xing could see that Niu Ruolie was very proud as he spoke these words. And indeed, nurturing an ordinary weapon into such a terrifying and astonishment-inducing weapon was something to be proud of! Su Xing took a deep breath, then bowed to Niu Ruolie and said: "Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Niu Ruolie laughed and nodded in response: "All right, go find your uncle Shennong in the spirit fields!" Su Xing nodded at the words, his mind still reverberating with the image of that crimson giant axe. It wasn''t until he was almost at the back mountain that he suddenly remembered he had forgotten to ask about how to break through the Return to Void Realm. "No matter, Uncle Shennong should be able to help..." With that thought, Su Xing quickly arrived at the back mountain. Shennong Youtian still looked like an old farmer tending to his spirit field among the hills. After carefully loosening the soil and fertilizing a seed, Shennong Youtian stood up, looked towards Su Xing with a smile, and said: "Nephew Luo Tian, are you calling me to the Luo Tian Great Assembly?" S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, Uncle Shennong!" Shennong Youtian laughed and walked toward Su Xing, saying: "Nephew, your aura has grown increasingly profound. I suspect you have reached the end of both Body and Qi refinement and are close to entering the Void Realm, aren''t you?" Su Xing nodded slightly again, seizing the opportunity to say: "Uncle Shennong, I have come to seek your advice on exactly how to step into the Return to Void Realm." Uncle Shennong nodded slightly and replied: "Having cultivated to this realm, you indeed should know a few things about the Return to Void Realm..." ``` "The so-called refining of essence into qi, refining of qi into spirit, and refining of spirit to return to void... This is the path of cultivation for us Qi Cultivation Cultivators in the early stages," "And upon entering the Return to Void Realm, one can retract one''s Divine Sense within, with the consciousness guarded inside the body, not only can it protect the body from aging and destruction... but it can also allow the Divine Sense to travel outwards, into the Void Domain!" Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow after listening and asked in confusion: "The Void Domain? What is that place?" Uncle-Master Shennong replied with a question: "Do you know the meaning of forming ''spiritual connections over a long time''?" "The so-called spiritual connections over a long time, for ordinary people, mean that they have heard of each other''s reputation and have long wanted to meet but only just did, which is a regret." "But for cultivators in the Return to Void Realm, it means that the Divine Senses of two people have already resonated with each other in the realm of nothingness, despite not having met in the real world." Su Xing listened with a deeper frown. From what he heard, the Void Domain seemed to be a place where only cultivators above the Return to Void stage could send their Divine Sense? Sure enough, Shennong Youtian said: "When your Primordial Spirit is strong enough, you will be able to sense the call of the Void Domain. Once you can step into the Void Domain, your physical body and divine soul can undergo a transformation..." "Survive the Divine Thunder of Void, and you become a Return to Void Realm Cultivator!" After hearing this, Su Xing''s brow tightened. The Void Domain, the Divine Thunder of Void. These things seemed to exist only in the Cultivation World... And in the world where Su Xing lived, no new cultivators were born. He was uncertain whether the Void Domain still existed. "Could it be... that the path ahead is already severed?" Unwilling to accept this, Su Xing asked: "Uncle-Master, if one does not enter the Void Domain, is there still a possibility to break through to the Return to Void stage?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Shennong Youtian laughed heartily and said: "What are you talking about, Nephew? Without entering the Void Domain, how can one become a Return to Void Realm Cultivator..." Mid-sentence, Shennong Youtian suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, and said: "Actually, there is such a rumor... It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator accidentally entered a place beyond heaven..." "The so-called place beyond heaven refers to a world without the Void Domain." "That cultivator stayed in the place beyond heaven for over a thousand years. Even though he cultivated to the Great Perfection of Divinity Transformation and his Divine Sense was full, he still couldn''t sense the Void Domain..." "But that Divinity Transformation Cultivator was also remarkable. He was an incredible talent in alchemy. Even without the Void Domain, he managed to create a type of elixir..." "Named Void Refinement Pill!" After a pause, Shennong Youtian continued: "The main use of the Void Refinement Pill now: is to help Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators at Great Perfection, to protect their Primordial Spirits from being destroyed and withstand the Divine Thunder of Void after entering the Void Domain." "But initially, the Void Refinement Pill was rumored to be able to bypass the sensing of the Void Domain and directly allow one to step into the Return to Void stage." "Of course... This is just a rumor. Whether it''s true or not, it''s been too long, and I do not know," Uncle-Master said. After hearing this, Su Xing silently took note. Regardless of its truth, Su Xing had to give it a try. If there truly is no Void Domain in the real world, wouldn''t Su Xing be doomed? Therefore, Su Xing said: "Uncle-Master, about the recipe for this Void Refinement Pill... cough cough, is it possible for your nephew to take a look?" Chapter 242: Chapter 164 Supreme Secret Technique, Diagram of Wishful Visualization! (5k) Shennong Youtian nodded lightly and said,"Why not? An elixir recipe is just an external object after all..." Having said that, Shennong Youtian rummaged through his storage magical artifact and, finally, handed over an old piece of parchment. Su Xing took it and looked. On this parchment, not only was the recipe for the Void Refinement Pill recorded, but also the types and quantities of medicinal herbs were clearly listed. One of the main ingredients for this Void Refinement Pill was actually the Condensing Spirit Wood! Su Xing was not surprised by this. After all, Condensing Spirit Wood is a rare herb that can enhance divine sense, making it particularly suitable as a main ingredient for the Void Refinement Pill. "But, what is this Spring Dew Pure Water?" Su Xing pointed to an ingredient on the recipe and asked his Uncle-Master Shennong. Shennong Youtian then explained, "Pure water refers to rootless water... that is, rainwater that falls from the sky." "As for Spring Dew Pure Water, it is the first strand of rainwater collected after the thunder on the day of Jingzhe!" "The day of Jingzhe is the day of utmost yang, where it is said that with a single peal of thunder, all evil retreats!" "This Spring Dew Pure Water, having absorbed a thread of the law of thunder from the first clap of thunder, is even more beneficial to our cultivators'' divine souls and physical bodies." "Return to Void Realm cultivators, upon entering the Void Domain, will undergo the baptism of the thunder of voidness. If one can obtain the thunderous essence from this Spring Dew Pure Water, they can safely cross over." Shennong Youtian elaborated with ease. Su Xing nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, this Spring Dew Pure Water, is just the first strand of rainwater on the day of Jingzhe?" "But... with so much rainwater during a rainfall, how do I obtain that first strand?" Su Xing started to feel a headache; after all, the water from rainfall is innumerable drops. How difficult it must be to take the first strand from those innumerable drops? Perhaps... only a deity could manage it, right? Shennong Youtian smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Nephew Luo, have you forgotten about divine sense?" "If a cultivator''s divine sense is sufficiently strong, it can envelop tens of miles around. On the day of Jingzhe, taking roughly the first ten drops of rainwater should be the aim..." "As for quantity, naturally, the more, the better... However, if one''s agility and divine sense are not strong enough, there isn''t much difference between the tenth drop and the first drop..." After hearing this, Su Xing nodded as if deep in thought. But in his heart, he still harbored some worries; the requirement for Spring Dew Pure Water seemed a bit too strict... "Thank you for the guidance, Uncle-Master!" Su Xing bowed to Shennong Youtian. No matter what, he now had a clue about how to break through to the Return to Void Realm. Difficult as it might be, as long as Su Xing was willing to persevere, he could always manage to get it. Afterwards, Su Xing escorted Shennong Youtian to the grand meeting of the Luo Tian Convention. There were still ten hours left before the immersion simulation. Su Xing hurried to the Scripture Pavilion to continue memorizing the "Three Talents Sword Technique" Heavenly Sword chapter. After all, the Heavenly Sword chapter was the most challenging, and Su Xing wanted to cherish every opportunity to memorize it. Day by day, little by little, as long as he visited a few more times, he would eventually be able to completely memorize this sword technique. Soon, Su Xing arrived inside the Scripture Pavilion. Going to a familiar spot, Su Xing took out the Three Talents Sword Technique and was ready to memorize it. But not long after he arrived, he heard the voice of Ghost Grandma. "You are Niu Ruolie''s disciple Luo Xiaochuan, right?" The figure of Ghost Grandma appeared behind Su Xing. Su Xing quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to the senior!" Ghost Grandma still had that calm expression, only saying, "In my opinion, your talent for Qi Refinement even surpasses that of Body Refinement, no?" "Not yet a hundred years old, and already at Divinity Transformation Realm Great Perfection, breaking into the Return to Void Realm is probably just a matter of time..." Su Xing responded with just a thankful smile. Ghost Grandma was actually mistaken. Su Xing''s talent for Body Refinement was purple, strictly speaking, better than his Qi Refinement talent. However, Su Xing had invested more resources and effort into his Qi Refining Cultivation, which was why he was barely able to keep both types of cultivation on par. But then, Ghost Grandma said something that made Su Xing''s heart leap with joy. "It seems to me you haven''t cultivated any secret divine sense techniques... how can you ascend to the Void Domain and step into the Return to Void Realm without that?" "Eh? Strange..." "Although you haven''t cultivated any secret divine sense techniques, why is your divine sense so formidable?" "Could it be you have the natural Soul Immortal Body... or have you consumed some kind of heavenly material or earthly treasure?" Ghost Grandma''s expression became even more curious. It was understandable that Ghost Grandma could not see through Su Xing''s details. At this point, Su Xing''s divine sense was entirely accumulated through consuming Soul Condensing Pills! But taking Soul Condensing Pills resulted in pill toxin, which was tolerable in small doses, but with larger amounts, it would be difficult to improve divine sense. However, Su Xing''s greatest cheat... the simulator, when bringing out divine sense and cultivation level, incidentally could remove the effect of pill toxin! Thus, the sources of Su Xing''s divine sense and cultivation appeared incredibly pure, as if they were entirely gained through his own cultivation. While Su Xing was contemplating, Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The eyes of the Ghost Grandma before him turned into an eerie purple, and after examining Su Xing closely, she exclaimed in amazement, "How wondrous and truly strange! I have lived several thousand years... This is the first time I''ve seen such an unusual talent..." "Clearly not the natural Soul Immortal Body, yet possessing such an astonishing divine sense... And even the traces of consuming soul-strengthening elixirs are undetectable..." "Although the divine sense is only at the level of the Five Senses Realm, if you cultivate divine sense secret techniques... Hiss, your future is immeasurable!" Listening to Ghost Grandma''s mutterings, Su Xing''s heart grew more astonished. Ghost Grandma''s methods were indeed profound; she could even sense his divine sense. Those eerie purple eyes must be some kind of divine skill, right? Chapter 243: Chapter 164 Supreme Secret Technique, Diagram of Wishful Visualization! (5k)_2 If it weren''t for Su Xing''s knowledge that Ghost Grandma was unfathomable,just by listening to these words, one might fear that Ghost Grandma was a swindler selling the "Buddha''s Palm". As Su Xing was contemplating, Ghost Grandma then said: "Luo Xiaochuan, I observe that you have an extraordinary talent... I wish to impart you a secret Divine Sense technique." "But as repayment, you must help me do one thing..." Before Ghost Grandma could finish, Su Xing quickly agreed: "Disciple is willing!" Su Xing''s impulsiveness somewhat caught Ghost Grandma off guard. She had not expected Su Xing to agree so readily. Thus she questioned doubtfully: "Aren''t you afraid that this old lady is one of those eccentric hermits from a sect who likes conducting experiments on cultivators?" Su Xing decisively shook his head and earnestly said: "Disciple is not afraid, I think grandma has a very kind heart!" But in reality, Su Xing was thinking: Sigh, anyway, I won''t remember next time... How could I pass up on another secret technique for free? Su Xing secretly applauded Ghost Grandma. Seeing that Su Xing had agreed so readily, Ghost Grandma extended her finger towards Su Xing''s forehead and said: "I will impart you this secret technique... named Wishful Visualization Technique!" "It is a supreme technique for Divine Soul cultivation, comparable to a top-tier Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique... You must cultivate it diligently and not let it be wasted in obscurity!" As her voice fell, a diagram filled with endless mysteries appeared in Su Xing''s mind. In the diagram was an old Daoist with a white beard, holding an indistinct Jade Ruyi! Besides that, a section of chant around a few hundred words also entered Su Xing''s mind. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Supreme Wishful... The divine and human are serene, yet the heart disrupts it; the human heart longs for stillness, but desires entangle it... Those who recite this method will possess the Jade of Wishful Protection, sheltering their Divine Soul..." Su Xing was thrilled; this Visualization Method would enhance his Divine Sense, the very secret technique he had long yearned for! Su Xing was just about to express his thanks when he looked up and saw Ghost Grandma''s face was somewhat pale and she was even unstable on her feet. Su Xing reached out to help Ghost Grandma, but she prevented him. Ghost Grandma then said: "You must cultivate diligently, and don''t forget to return to this Scripture Pavilion again after a year..." With that, Ghost Grandma disappeared from the spot. Su Xing was left alone, and he couldn''t help but sigh to himself: "Sigh, although Ghost Grandma appears unkind, she truly is a good person!" "Not only did she give me a Divine Skills technique... she even imparted such a precious thing as the Visualization Method!" When Ghost Grandma taught him the Swordsmanship Technique last time, she did not exhaust herself as much. But this time, teaching the Visualization Method nearly caused her to lose her footing. Aside from the fact that both the Visualization Method and Diagram are more difficult to materialize, it probably also has to do with the significant origins of the Visualization Method! After Ghost Grandma left, Su Xing first took out the Void Refinement Pill recipe and carefully memorized every step and detail of Alchemy. With the remaining time, Su Xing began memorizing the "Heavenly Sword chapter" of the Three Talents Sword Technique. Soon, his time in the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing''s consciousness returned to the real world. In the real world, Su Xing massaged his temples and closed his eyes slightly, then he saw that infinitely mysterious Diagram of Wishful Visualization. The chant was also within Su Xing''s mind. Su Xing took out some writing materials and attempted to draw the Visualization Diagram. But after many tries, even though Su Xing was sweating profusely from the effort, he still could not even begin to draw it. "This Wishful Visualization Technique is truly profound; it can only be visualized in the mind and can''t even be seen with the naked eye!" Su Xing felt humbled, as the immersive simulation brought him a bounty of rewards. The secrets of Origin Instruments, Void Refinement Pill... and he even got a marvelous Wishful Visualization Technique for free! "Additionally, I''ve memorized almost one-third of the Heavenly Sword chapter of the Three Talents Sword Technique, and after a few more visits, I should be able to fully remember it, right?" Su Xing wasn''t in a hurry about this; after all, he hadn''t even completed the Earth Sword, so there was no rush. "Void Refinement Pill I already have the Condensing Spirit Wood, the other auxiliary materials are also not hard to find... only this Spring Dew Pure Water, given my current physical abilities and Divine Sense, I probably can''t obtain it, it looks like cultivating my Divine Sense should also be a priority..." Su Xing thoughtfully looked at the simulation panel. [After exiting the Luotian Meeting Instance, you have gained much.] [Back at Kyoto Polytechnic, you cultivated your Protective Gang Qi while your Origin Force got depleted, and then you cultivated the Wishful Visualization Technique every day, leading a very fulfilling life.] [In your spare time, you also extended your Divine Sense, and at the same time, observed whether anyone was secretly investigating you and Jin Congxue.] [Fortunately, no accidents occurred, and each time after you disguised yourself and traded with Jin Congxue, no one followed.] [This went on for a year, and after nothing happened, you finally let your guard down.] [In the second year, you went to Shuangqing City, ready to join the Descending Sect in order to seize Spiritual Medicine.] [You were lucky and encountered Damned Zong within a few days.] [Damned Zong came due to sensing Divine Sense, and on seeing you, he became wary, as the aura of your Cultivation Level put him under great pressure.] [You were puzzled why Damned Zong didn''t actively seek you out but didn''t dare to act rashly, maintaining your reckless and arrogant demeanor as always.] [You pretended to be a Cultivator who had just woken up from a Cultivation instance, and as expected, Damned Zong was deceived!] [When you took out your Life Extension Pill, a look of longing appeared in Damned Zong''s eyes.] [Eventually, with the Life Extension Pill, you successfully joined the Descending Sect and obtained a lot of Spiritual Medicine from Damned Zong.] [After joining, Damned Zong often invited you to drink, and you never refused, appearing like old friends who had known each other for years.] Chapter 244: Chapter 164 Supreme Secret Technique, Diagram of Wishful Visualization! (5k)_3 Su Xing''s eyebrows raised in curiosity, pondering what could have caused such a change in Damned Zong?However, Su Xing quickly realized that compared to before, his strength in this simulation had greatly increased. Especially since his Qi Refining Cultivation had also reached the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation stage; it wasn''t an overstatement to say he could crush Damned Zong in every aspect. And perhaps Damned Zong felt threatened by Su Xing, sensing him as a more powerful cultivator, which was why he wanted to ingratiate himself with Su Xing, right? "Heh... Too bad I don''t give a damn about you!" "After I break through the void, you''ll be the first one to die!" Su Xing snorted coldly, turning his gaze to the simulation panel. [After joining the Descending Sect, although you outwardly became close with Damned Zong, in reality, you''ve secretly teamed up with Luo Shuying and obtained many medicinal materials.] [But other members of the Descending Sect are unaware, merely thinking that you have an excellent relationship with Damned Zong.] [You enjoyed yourself, staying comfortably within the Descending Sect.] [Every day, you would practice Protective Gang Qi for two hours and during the practice of your Divine Skills, your mastery and intensity of your Origin Force steadily increased.] [After depleting your Origin Force, you would visualize the Diagram of Wishful Visualization in your mind for half an hour.] [However, the difficulty of practicing the Wishful Visualization Technique was even higher than you expected; you felt mentally exhausted after half an hour and had to stop.] [The vast majority of the remaining time, you were making Elixirs.] [You had long since mastered the preparation of Organ Refining Pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills, so you decided to attempt the alchemy in The Great Wisdom in Foolishness state to accumulate some insight.] [In the state of The Great Wisdom in Foolishness, your insights and intelligence decreased, but you were very proficient in making these low-level pills, so the speed of making them was only slightly affected.] [Continuing like this for a year, you made nearly eighty thousand pills, and in addition, accumulated more than thirty days in the Great Wisdom State.] [In the third year, you continued your routine of daily pill making and practicing Protective Gang Qi.] [That year, you made more than eighty thousand pills, and the total length of the "Great Wisdom" state you had accumulated reached 60 days.] [In the fourth year, having collected sufficient Spiritual Medicine, you fled the Descending Sect with Luo Shuying.] [After deserting the Descending Sect, Damned Zong also got implicated and was hunted by various protectors and faction leaders of the Descending Sect.] [You and Luo Shuying went to Kyoto, which was relatively safe under the watch of the Great Xia Military.] [That year, you made another eighty thousand pills, and your time in the Great Wisdom State accumulated to an impressive ninety-plus days!] [You gave all the Elixirs you made to the Great Xia Military.] [The Great Xia Military gained over eighty thousand Grandmaster Level warriors, close to eight hundred Heavenly Kings, and several dozen Martial Emperor Level powerhouses.] [In the fifth year, when you had used up all your medicinal materials, you focused solely on cultivation.] [You continued to practice Protective Gang Qi for two hours every day.] [With several years of effort, your Protective Gang Qi began to take shape; you could be considered to have reached the beginner''s level.] Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [When your Origin Force was exhausted, you would attempt to visualize the Diagram of Wishful Visualization in your mind.] [You could only manage to visualize the diagram for half an hour every day, but during that time, you activated the Great Wisdom State, exponentially increasing your insights and making significant progress in understanding the diagram.] [After each visualization session, you would exit the Great Wisdom State and return to your normal state.] [Over the year, you used about fifteen days of the Great Wisdom State.] Su Xing''s eyes lit up at this and he muttered: "Whoa, this Great Wisdom in Foolishness can actually be used flexibly!" "Looking at it this way, its practicality is undoubtedly much stronger than before!" "Just using it during visualizations, it''d only consume about fifteen days a year, the time I''ve accumulated before is enough for six years!" Su Xing felt it was quite good to save the insight gained from alchemy for when it was needed, getting great value for the effort! His gaze returned to the simulation panel. [In the sixth year, you continued the arduous cultivation of Protective Gang Qi, complemented by the observation of the visualization diagram.] [In addition to cultivating, you would save up your Great Wisdom State during your free time; within a year, you managed to increase it back to a hundred days!] [In the seventh year, as you kept practicing Protective Gang Qi, the thickness of your Origin Force also grew slowly.] [The total amount of Origin Force in your body was sufficient for you to practice Protective Gang Qi for five hours every day.] [Meanwhile, with your efforts, you gained a preliminary understanding of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization and its incantations.] [You took out the previously made Soul Condensing Pills and used them daily in conjunction with the Wishful Visualization Technique; your Divine Sense grew rapidly!] [That year, your Divine Sense expanded to 3,300 zhang!] [In the eighth year, you continued to internalize the Diagram of Wishful Visualization and externally practice Protective Gang Qi. Your understanding and application of both Divine Skills improved day by day.] [Especially with the growth of your Divine Sense, combined with the outstanding effects of the Soul Condensing Pills, it expanded to 3,600 zhang!] Su Xing''s eyes brightened once more. Since he had broken through to the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation Stage, the growth of his Divine Sense had been slow. It had always lingered just above 3,000 zhang. But unexpectedly, the Wishful Visualization Technique was so effective that in just two years, his Divine Sense had reached 3,600 zhang! "Tsk, tsk, with such Divine Sense, I must have surpassed the common Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators at Great Perfection, right?" The corners of Su Xing''s mouth lifted slightly as his eyes returned to the simulation panel. [In the ninth year, in addition to cultivation, you started to explore every hidden spot on Blue Star.] [From snow mountains thousands of zhang high to seas tens of thousands of zhang deep, you''ve been everywhere.] [But with the physique of a Divine Strength Realm cultivator, you''ve long become impervious to both heat and cold; you could hardly feel the pressure of the deep sea.] [After searching for a year, you realized that Blue Star did not have the extreme place you were looking for, so you began to explore dungeons...] [The same year, your Divine Sense expanded to 3,900 zhang!] Chapter 248: Chapter 166: Earn 650 Million Energy, Heavenly Spirit Root Has Arrived! (5k) Hearing the sudden voice, Baili Tu abruptly raised his head.When he saw Su Xing after the disguise, a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. He then put on a look of delight and said, "Senior, how come you are here? Why didn''t you say anything in advance?" Su Xing noticed the change in Baili Tu''s demeanor and just nodded slightly, "I heard your Baili Business Association has been aggressively purchasing Instance Dungeon Items recently?" Upon hearing this, Baili Tu quickly nodded and said, "Since senior is in need of those Instance Dungeon Items, our Baili Business Association naturally has to make all-out efforts to purchase them. As long as senior is pleased, that''s all that matters!" Su Xing, after hearing this, did not respond, but thought to himself that Baili Tu really had a way with words. Afterward, Su Xing took out another Life Extension Pill from his bosom and said, "Here''s another Life Extension Pill that can extend your life by another five years... Just give me the same amount of Instance Dungeon Items as last time!" The moment the Life Extension Pill appeared, a look of desire emerged on Baili Tu''s face. Although he had extended his life by five years, who wouldn''t want to live longer? With the chance to extend it by another five years... he would have a good ten years to enjoy! Therefore, Baili Tu hurriedly took out a Storage Ring from his pocket and said, "Senior, my son Baili Qi was mischievous before... I have advised him recently, and these are the Instance Dungeon Items he collected over the years, so please accept them all together!" Su Xing took the Storage Ring. Upon examining it with his Divine Sense, indeed, it was piled up with Instance Dungeon Items, nearly the same amount as the batch he had received before. A gleam of excitement flashed through Su Xing''s eyes, then with a gentle toss, the Life Extension Pill slid into Baili Tu''s hand. "Since it is so, then this Life Extension Pill is yours." "The deal is made, I shall take my leave..." Having said that, Su Xing prepared to leave. "Senior, please wait!" Just as Su Xing was about to turn and leave, Baili Tu stopped him and handed over another Storage Ring, saying, "Senior, that was the trade... but I have also collected another batch of Instance Dungeon Items recently, just consider it a token of gratitude for your lifesaving grace before!" Su Xing frowned slightly after hearing this but, looking at the tangible energy at hand, he still reached out and took it. After checking with his Divine Sense. Boy, there was no small number of Instance Dungeon Items in this Storage Ring! Although it was not as many as he had traded before, it was at least about thirty percent of the previous trade! The value was probably between one to two hundred million modal energy. Presumably, this was the collection of Instance Dungeon Items Baili Tu had vigorously gathered during this period. Su Xing thought for a moment, still took the Storage Ring, and slowly said, "You are, not bad..." After speaking, Su Xing prepared to leave. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But at this moment, Baili Tu hurriedly said, "Senior, how can we contact you in the future? If we have more Instance Dungeon Items, how can we give them to you?" Su Xing frown slightly. Baili Tu wanted his contact information seemingly to satisfy Su Xing''s need for Instance Dungeon Items. But in reality, Baili Tu also wanted to build a relationship with Su Xing, in case the Baili family encountered problems in the future that they couldn''t resolve and might need Su Xing''s help. Thinking of this, Su Xing felt the Storage Ring in his hand was getting hot. After all, he always disliked owing favors; a trade with no obligations left was naturally for the best... But the Instance Dungeon Items in this Storage Ring were worth at least one to two hundred million, and Su Xing really couldn''t bear to part with them. After hesitating for a bit, Su Xing said, "If your Baili family encounters an insurmountable crisis, just release a message to the outside world that a shocking treasure legacy has been discovered amongst the Instance Dungeon Items..." "At that time, I will understand and come to assist you... However, it will still be business then, understand?" Baili Tu quickly nodded in agreement. Su Xing said no more, turned, and left, his figure vanishing into the night. After Su Xing had left, the smile on Baili Tu''s face faded, and he rhythmically tapped his fingers on the table, pondering something. At that moment, in the hidden chamber of Baili Tu''s room, the Martial Emperor strong man known as Fu Bo stepped out. "Master!" Baili Tu nodded slightly and said, "Fu Bo, what do you think about this mysterious strong man''s eagerness to collect Instance Dungeon Items? What is it for?" Fu Bo, although unsure, ventured to ask, "Perhaps, there is some earth-shattering secret hidden within those Instance Dungeon Items?" Baili Tu nodded after hearing this, then shook his head again and said, "Instance Dungeon Items have been sought after by millions throughout history, hoping to discover their secrets... Yet, no one has ever profited from them." "But for our Baili family, this senior represents a real and significant opportunity!" "This senior should understand our intentions... Perhaps in the future if the Baili family finds itself in a difficult situation, relying on today''s gifted relations, we might ask the senior to take action..." Fu Bo, hearing this, remained silent, not quite understanding the machinations. Since he could remember, he had been a servant of the Baili household, serving the Baili family for hundreds of years. After some thought, Fu Bo said, "Master, this senior... seems to have grown even stronger than before." "Previously, I only felt threatened by him... but now, I don''t even have the courage to confront him head-on." "I suspect that this senior may have stepped into the realm of legend..." Pausing for a moment, Fu Bo then said, "Moreover, the senior must have noticed my presence, but he simply ignored me..." On hearing this, Baili Tu''s expression grew serious, and after a long silence, he loudly declared, "Summon someone! Instruct that the scale of purchasing Instance Dungeon Items should be doubled! Increase the purchase price by another twenty percent!" Chapter 249: Chapter 166: Earn 650 Million Energy, Heavenly Spirit Root Has Arrived! (5k)_2 "I want all instance dungeon items from all thirteen provinces of Great Xia Country to flow into our Baili Business Association!"The Legendary beings, they are the unmatched overlords who stand above the common dust of the world. If the Baili Business Association could really befriend a Legendary figure, it could ensure the Baili family''s prosperity for a thousand years! This was the sole thought in Baili Tu''s mind at this moment! At this moment, all the schemes and calculations in his heart had vanished, replaced with the singular desire to be on good terms with Su Xing... This is the change brought by absolute power... ... On the other hand, after acquiring two storage rings, Su Xing traveled overnight for hundreds of kilometers, returning to Fudong Province, and then caught the latest flight, preparing to return to Kyoto. The next day, upon returning to the academy, Su Xing couldn''t wait to enter the Spirit Field Blessed Land, ready to convert the instance dungeon items in the two rings into energy. [Ding, detected materials containing vast amounts of energy, total energy value 476.82 million, do you wish to convert?] [Ding, detected materials containing vast amounts of energy, total energy value 156.79 million, do you wish to convert?] Listening to the pleasant notification in his ear, Su Xing said eagerly: "Confirm the conversion!" Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thus, Su Xing watched as the simulation panel''s energy skyrocketed. From twelve million plus, it shot up to 646.05 million! After steadying his excited emotions, Su Xing opened the simulation panel, preparing to exchange instance rewards. "I choose to exchange for Protective Gang Qi and Wishful Visualization Technique!" [You have successfully brought out the Protective Gang Qi cultivation results (Minor Achievement), spending 50 million energy, remaining energy 596.05 million points.] [You have successfully brought out the Wishful Visualization Technique cultivation results (Entry Level), spending 40 million energy, remaining energy 556.05 million points.] As the simulator''s notification sound ended, two mysterious forces infused into Su Xing''s body. Then, a torrent of memories surged into Su Xing''s mind. These were the cultivation results of Protective Gang Qi and Wishful Visualization Technique! In just a moment, Su Xing learned the Origin Force Divine Skill, Protective Gang Qi, and had already reached a Minor Achievement in it! Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and, with a thought, murmured: "Origin Force Armor..." Soon after, a thin layer of Origin Force wrapped around Su Xing''s entire being. Once the Origin Force Armor encased Su Xing, his resistance to blows and his defensive power instantly more than doubled. And that wasn''t all. Feeling the invisible Origin Force Armor upon his body, Su Xing murmured again: "Protective Gang Qi, rise!" The next second, an invisible barrier of Origin Force formed three feet around Su Xing''s skin, directly shielding him within it. The barrier was like an impenetrable transparent glass cup, isolating Su Xing from all harmful substances in the outside world. Forget about attacks and sneak attacks, even a fly or gas would not be able to break through this layer of Protective Gang Qi! The most crucial point was that Protective Gang Qi and Origin Force Armor could exist at the same time! "Incredible... No wonder during the last simulation, even after entering the stomach space of the giant beast, I didn''t immediately die..." "Protective Gang Qi coupled with Origin Force Armor, such terrifying defense... even a Legendary Level being would not be able to break through it immediately, right?" Ecstatic feelings arose in Su Xing''s heart. If talking about defensive power alone, with Origin Force Armor and Protective Gang Qi, Su Xing could already be comparable to a new Legendary Level being! "Such terrifying defense... If I were to cultivate these two to the limit, I might truly be able to break through the limits in the stomach space of a giant beast, achieving Divinity Transformation!" Su Xing took a long while to calm the excitement in his heart. Afterward, Su Xing surfaced in the real world, wanting to test just how powerful his Divine Sense had become. With a thought, his Divine Sense spread out like a tide. It enveloped the entire Kyoto Academy in an instant. And it kept expanding further! Three thousand zhang... three thousand five hundred zhang... four thousand zhang! Five thousand zhang... six thousand zhang... Finally, a Divine Sense range of seven thousand zhang! What concept is seven thousand zhang? It''s equivalent to having a radius of 26 kilometers with Su Xing as the center, everything within is under Su Xing''s perception! This range had almost completely covered the entire city of Kyoto. "Tsk tsk, the whole city of Kyoto... Not a single person can hide from my Divine Sense..." Feeling his Divine Sense engulfing the whole city, Su Xing felt an indescribable sensation. It was as if... Su Xing was the god of the city! Su Xing finally understood why, in the Cultivation World, ordinary people were indistinguishable from ants in the eyes of powerful cultivators. After all, this feeling of an all-encompassing Divine Sense was like having a god''s point of view. It made one inevitably become arrogant and conceited. But Su Xing, being a cultivator who had passed through the fifth stage of Divinity Transformation, suppressed the arrogant emotions before they could even take root. Returning to the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing continuously brainwashed himself in his mind. Be humble, be cautious! Damn it, I''m not even the strongest of the Human Race yet, what''s there to be proud of? As long as the Foreign Race exists, life and death will always be under someone else''s control... After his mood had steadied, Su Xing resumed his weekly routine of Alchemy and collecting Spiritual Liquid. Five days passed quickly, and Su Xing brought the Elixirs to the villa, then took away this week''s goods. As Jin Congxue was busy with the association''s affairs this week, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave earlier than usual. This week''s goods once again provided Su Xing with nearly thirty million points of energy. New Era, August 5, 2024, amidst the heat, Su Xing started a new round of simulation. "Start simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 4800 points of energy, leaving 586.05 million points of energy, remaining number of simulations unlimited.] Chapter 250: Chapter 166: Earn 650 Million Energy, Heavenly Spirit Root Has Arrived! (5k)_3 ```[Simulation begins!] [Drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points, do you wish to draw?] "Draw the purple talent!" Su Xing muttered to himself. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent, Wood-Fire Dual Heavenly Spirit Root!] [Wood-Fire Dual Heavenly Spirit Root]: You are a once-in-a-million cultivation genius, possessing a world-rare Heavenly Spirit Root. Your cultivation speed is over a hundred times that of ordinary practitioners, and it seems your Heavenly Spirit Root has undergone a certain mutation, possessing an additional attribute compared to normal Heavenly Spirit Roots. Seeing the sudden and surprising talent that appeared before him, Su Xing''s eyes flashed with a complex expression. The good news was, he had drawn an even stronger Spiritual Root. The bad news was... this Spiritual Root seemed to have come a little too late. "Well, a good meal is worth waiting for!" "After all, with the Heavenly Spirit Root, my cultivation in the Return to Void Realm should be much easier!" Su Xing knew that drawing talents was never as smooth-sailing as one wished. Being able to draw a Heavenly Spirit Root at this time was already incredibly good news. "With the Heavenly Spirit Root now, will breaking through to the Return to Void Realm be a bit easier?" Su Xing pondered with a thoughtful gaze towards the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [After obtaining the Heavenly Spirit Root, you become more sensitive to the surrounding Spiritual Energy, feeling an increase in your affinity with Spiritual Energy.] [With the same amount of Spiritual Energy, you can absorb it and transform it into Spiritual Power in a much shorter time, with your speed now three times faster than before!] [After experiencing the mystery of your Heavenly Spirit Root, you prepare to begin cultivating Origin Force and Protective Gang Qi.] [Over an hour later, your Origin Force is depleted, and you happily continue your practice with the Visualization Method.] [Thus three weeks quickly pass.] [After three weeks, Jin Congxue brings you good news; the mining copy territory has officially been contracted, and now it can produce exotic metals every week.] [You are very pleased with this and stay in the Great Xia Country, cultivating for two more months.] [After that, you prepare to join the Descending Sect.] [You go to Shuangqing City alone, keeping your Divine Sense within a certain range, hoping to draw out Damned Zong.] [Sure enough, within a few days, Damned Zong appears, and he shows you great respect.] [Because even with your Divine Sense restrained, he believes you are at least a half-step Return to Void Realm powerhouse!] [In order to curry favor with you, Damned Zong invites you to join the Descending Sect.] [Of course, you don''t refuse and successfully join the Descending Sect, even receiving a personal audience from a faction leader due to your strength.] [Afterward, you naturally rise to become a nominal protector of the Descending Sect.] [Not only do you rarely perform tasks, but you also enjoy a great degree of freedom.] [Then, you secretly contact Luo Shuying, and receive a large batch of Spiritual Medicine.] [You stay in the Descending Sect for two years, and during those two years, besides the compulsory four hours of cultivation each day, you spend your time refining Elixirs.] [You accumulate nearly sixty days of enhanced state with "Great Wisdom".] Su Xing looks up with a smile creeping across his face. "Indeed, in this world, strength is everything!" Back when Su Xing''s power was about the same as Damned Zong''s, he had to take the initiative to offer gifts for a chance at making a connection with him. But now, Su Xing''s Divine Sense has surged, and Damned Zong mistakes him for a Return to Void Realm powerhouse. Damned Zong even takes the initiative to show goodwill towards Su Xing. "This is still with restrained Divine Sense... If I had gone all out with my Divine Sense, wouldn''t that have scared Damned Zong into treating me as a true Return to Void Realm expert?" "By then, Damned Zong would probably be scared into kowtowing, right?" Su Xing can''t help but exclaim reflectively. In the Cultivation World, one''s level of cultivation strength is everything. Nascent Soul Cultivators are no different from weaklings to those in Divinity Transformation. The gap between Divinity Transformation and Return to Void is even greater! Thinking thus, Su Xing''s gaze returns to the simulation panel.

(5k) Su Xing''s face showed a look of pleasant surprise.The aberration of the simulator lay precisely here. Although Su Xing, during the simulation, had contracted pill poisoning from taking too many elixirs, the Cultivation Level he brought back after the simulation had already cleansed the pill poisoning, leaving no concerns for the future. "With this growth rate... Maybe combining it with the Diagram of Wishful Visualization, I could extend my Divine Sense to a breadth of tens of thousands of feet!" A sharp glint flashed in Su Xing''s eyes - a Divine Sense of tens of thousands of feet was even beyond what normal Return to Void cultivators could achieve. However, being at the Divinity Transformation Stage, he was soon going to have that capability... "Aside from that, the speed of Origin Force improvement is also extremely fast..." "By practicing the Protective Gang Qi and constantly forging my Origin Force, I can rapidly progress!" Su Xing nodded slightly. This insight into Origin Force cultivation was something Niu Ruolie had once mentioned to him. This was also why Su Xing had chosen to bring back the Newly Accomplished Protective Gang Qi in the last simulation. His gaze turned toward the simulation panel. [Year 11, this year you have had a minor breakthrough in your understanding of the Wishful Visualization Technique, and your range of Divine Sense has expanded quite a bit, reaching 8,800 feet!] [At the same time, you keenly discover that, after observing the Wishful Visualization Technique, your Divine Sense not only increased in range but seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.] [Within the range of your Divine Sense, you could see and understand changes in things more clearly, even a fly''s movements tens of thousands of meters away were visible in fine detail.] [This was an ability you did not possess before when your training in Divine Sense mainly focused on expanding its range.] [But now, you find not only can you sense further away, but your Divine Sense can also be finer...] Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [At that moment, you could not figure it out, but this sensitivity was not always present; you could use it only occasionally, when you had a stroke of luck and inspiration.] [Even so, you felt your Divine Sense had become much stronger.] [Year 12, during a sunny and breezy afternoon, you were cultivating your Origin Force as usual in the Spirit Field Cave.] [After enduring two hours of arduous practice, the Origin Force within your body was exhausted.] [You rubbed your sore body, preparing to sit down cross-legged for meditation.] [Just then, you suddenly felt a mysterious change in your body.] [It was as if a well that had been dry for decades was suddenly producing a steady stream.] [Except it wasn''t water emerging from your body, but Origin Force!] [The previously depleted Origin Force seemed as if it were reinvigorated, quickly starting to recover...] [Surprised, you immediately sensed the changes occurring in your body.] [But at that moment, your senses became incredibly acute, your mind extraordinarily nimble, and your comprehension skyrocketed hundreds of times.] [You had triggered a state of sudden enlightenment!] [Under this state of enlightenment, you gained a new understanding of Origin Force.] [Not only is Origin Force the sharpest spear and sturdiest shield, but it is also a great river flowing unceasingly to the sea!] [Endless and unfading, that is the nature of Origin Force!] [In this state, you could feel a silent seed being planted within your Dantian.] [This was a seed of Origin Force.] [Now, this seed was continuously supplying Origin Force, hydrating your dried-up body.] [You observed the seed closely and noticed that while the speed of the Origin Force it was discharging wasn''t fast, it replenished every moment non-stop.] [You attempted to control the seed, wishing for it to release Origin Force faster.] [With focused determination, you teased the seed with your Divine Sense, gently caressing it with the Origin Force inside your body.] [After many attempts, you finally felt the speed at which the seed replenished Origin Force increase imperceptibly.] [Joyful, you tirelessly continued trying, repeatedly stimulating the seed of Origin Force.] [So you reveled in this profound state of enlightenment, and three days slowly passed by...] [After three days, when you came out of the state of enlightenment, you felt a sense of loss.] [But then, steadying your spirit, you felt the breath of the Origin Force seed within, and elation surged through your heart.] [The Origin Force seed, this was the hallmark of the third stage achievement of Origin Force!] [With the Origin Force seed, your ability for sustained combat using Origin Force would undergo a transformation!] [Because with the seed of Origin Force within, it would continuously compensate for the consumption of the Body Cultivation Origin Force.] [Moreover, your seed of Origin Force, seeming nothing like one newly sown but as though it had been nurtured for long, replenished Origin Force at an extremely fast rate!] [Congratulations on successfully entering the major achievement level of Externally Released Origin Force!] Seeing this, Su Xing''s eyes gleamed with joy. "I never imagined... a single moment of enlightenment, and I actually planted a seed of Origin Force!?" "Hisss~ With this seed of Origin Force, my sustained combat capability using Origin Force might double, or even triple!" In the insights into Origin Force cultivation that Niu Ruolie had imparted to Su Xing, he had mentioned the seed of Origin Force. For a Body Cultivator, carrying the burden of Origin Force was extremely taxing. Like before with Su Xing, although he could contend with Legendary Level fighters in the short term while using Origin Force, that state could only be maintained for an hour. In the end, it was still a matter of Origin Force running out. Once the body''s Origin Force was drained, it would take a day, or even two, to recover! But with the awakening of the Origin Force seed, things would be completely different! The Origin Force that previously took a day or two to recover now would be replenished several times faster! Chapter 252: Chapter 167: Powerful Origin, The Seed of Origin Force! (5k)_2 Even when Origin Force was exhausted, it could be restored in less than half a day.More importantly, during battle, the seed of Origin Force would continuously replenish the cultivator''s Origin Force, skyrocketing their sustained combat ability. "The Elder once said after the awakening of the Origin Force seed, an ordinary cultivator might need to spend decades, or even a hundred years, to refine it to perfection..." "Yet I, due to an epiphany, have refined my Origin Force for a period equivalent to thirty years for others, all in just three days!" Thinking of this, Su Xing''s heart grew increasingly joyous. It is known that once the Origin Force seed awakens, cultivators can gradually evolve and grow it by constantly using and stimulating Origin Force. But Su Xing''s accidental epiphany talent was truly critical! How could ordinary cultivators directly stimulate the seed of Origin Force with their Divine Soul and Origin Force? They would probably lose control of their Origin Force and perish on the spot! But while in an epiphanic state, Su Xing''s understanding soared to an infinite height on the spot! And it just so happened that he was able to do so, directly saving decades of time. This also meant that Su Xing''s Origin Force seed was much stronger than when it was first planted. If an ordinary cultivator needed six hours to fully replenish their depleted Origin Force, then Su Xing would only need four hours, or even less! "An accidental epiphany If it weren''t for the fact that this talent triggers too uncertainly it might well be a legendary-level talent, right?" Su Xing once again sensed the strength of his accidental talent. After calming his emotions, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [After obtaining the Origin Force seed, the speed at which you recover Origin Force each day is faster.] [This means that you have more time to cultivate your Divine Skills and Protective Gang Qi!] [Thus, you maintain four hours of cultivation for Protective Gang Qi every day, and when your body is depleted of Origin Force, you begin to study the Diagram of Wishful Visualization.] [In the thirteenth year, as the range of your Divine Sense continued to expand, perhaps due to the insufficient potency of the Soul Condensing Elixirs, it became increasingly difficult to improve as you progressed.] [That year, your Divine Sense increased by a hundred feet, reaching a total of eight thousand nine hundred feet!] [In the fourteenth year, after reaching the Mahayana Level of the third stage of Origin Force, you still did not give up on cultivating it.] [Although you planted the Origin Force seed and accelerated its growth during the epiphany state, you could feel that there was still a considerable distance to perfection of the third stage.] [Therefore, you cultivated even harder, almost dedicating all your energy to the cultivation of Origin Force.] [By the fifteenth year, your Divine Sense range reached nine thousand one hundred feet.] [Besides the substantial expansion of your Divine Sense range, that feeling of observing minutely previously became even clearer.] [From tens of thousands of meters away, you could clearly see the form of a fly vibrating its wings, even the fine lines on the wings.] [But what troubled you was that you still could not control when to enter this state of minute observation; it was only occasionally accessible.] Su Xing looked thoughtful at this. "Tens of thousands of meters away, clearly seeing the patterns on a fly''s wings... this seems to be a more intricate and meticulous use of Divine Sense." "If I could reliably trigger this state... might I then be able to capture the first drop of rootless water on the day of Awakening Thunder?" With this thought, a glint appeared in Su Xing''s eyes. A problem that had troubled him for a long time finally seemed to resolve. "Indeed, to obtain Spring Dew Pure Water, one needs a stronger Divine Sense!" "Previously, I couldn''t capture that first drop of rootless water because my use of Divine Sense wasn''t meticulous enough!" With this realization, Su Xing felt thrilled. Whether advancing to the Broken Void Realm or the Return to Void Realm, Su Xing had taken a significant step forward. sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. His gaze moved to the simulation panel. [In the sixteenth year, because the duration of daily cultivation of Protective Gang Qi lengthened, you could feel that the progress of Protective Gang Qi was faster than before.] [Though not yet at the Mahayana Level, you could feel that the Protective Gang Qi was becoming more solid and tougher than before.] [Pleased with this change, you cultivated even more diligently, hoping to reach the Mahayana Level of Protective Gang Qi as soon as possible.] [As days of cultivation went by, two years slowly passed.] [In the eighteenth year, your Divine Sense range grew even further, reaching nine thousand five hundred feet!] [The more you cultivated, the more unfathomable you found the Diagram of Wishful Visualization in your mind.] [Within the range of your Divine Sense, your observation of minuscule matter became increasingly detailed and precise.] [You decided to attempt collecting Spring Dew Pure Water on the day of Awakening Thunder.] [The nineteenth year, the day of Awakening Thunder.] [You arrived early at an uninhabited mountain range, where the air was purer and the ecology more pristine.] [When the first thunder of Awakening Thunder sounded, your Divine Sense in an instant enveloped the entire stretch of mountains.] [One drop, two drops, three drops...] [You could sense the falling of the raindrops beneath heaven and earth.] [The first strand of rain divided into ten drops, but you only sensed seven.] [You understood that this was because your Divine Sense was not detailed and refined enough to completely capture the traces of the first ten drops of water amidst the tens of thousands descending simultaneously.] [Moreover, you discovered another difficulty.] [It was that the ten drops of rootless water might be thousands of kilometers apart, and you must capture them before they mingle with other raindrops.] [And the time you had for this was less than half a second.] [Half a second to capture ten drops of pure water was far beyond the requirements of your current speed and agility.] Chapter 253: Chapter 167: Powerful Origin, The Seed of Origin Force! (5k)_3 Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.Within half a second, to collect the first ten drops of rootless water was indeed a speed he could not achieve at the moment. Perhaps, once he entered the Broken Void Realm and mastered a teleportation Divine Skill, it might be possible to collect them. "Damn it, no wonder this Spring Dew Pure Water is so hard to come by... Probably only high-ranking cultivators can be sure to obtain it, right?" "It seems that I have to reach the Broken Void Realm first and then consider refining the Void Refinement Pills..." Su Xing sighed, his gaze shifting toward the simulation panel. [After failing to collect Spring Dew Pure Water, you continued to cultivate Origin Force in the Spirit Field Cave.] [In the twentieth year, with your diligent day and night cultivation, you finally made further progress in your understanding of the Origin Force Divine Skill, Protective Gang Qi.] [Your Protective Gang Qi Divine Skill successfully advanced to the Mahayana Level!] [The durability of Protective Gang Qi at the Mahayana Level improved nearly twice as much compared to before!] [Stronger defenses, along with your own Origin Force armor, almost allow you to withstand attacks from Legendary Level fighters!] [After the breakthrough of your Divine Skill, your confidence in your own strength reached an unprecedented height.] [You even believed that you could go back to the ruins of the ancient tomb in the Immortal Martial Era Instance, and wrestle once more with that Living Dead Puppet.] [After much thought, you temporarily abandoned this idea.] [Since there were a few years left until the twenty-five-year deadline, you planned to continue to enhance your own strength during this time.] [In the twenty-first year, you were still immersed in cultivation every day.] [You would drain your Origin Force dry daily, and relished the sensation of your Origin Force Seed slowly releasing Origin Force.] [At the same time, you keenly discovered that as you continued to use Origin Force, your Origin Force Seed was also growing.] [Just that the growth rate was too slow, far from the surge you experienced during your initial epiphany.] [During the recovery period of your Origin Force, you would observe the Diagram of Wishful Visualization to further enhance your Divine Sense.] [This year, the range of your Divine Sense had grown to 9,700 zhang!] [In the twenty-third year, the range of your Divine Sense increased further, reaching 9,800 zhang, not far from the anticipated 10,000 zhang Divine Sense.] [At the same time, you could feel your Divine Sense reaching a bottleneck, and perhaps after reaching 10,000 zhang, you would advance into a new realm of Divine Sense.] [This year you also made some progress in cultivating your Origin Force and Protective Gang Qi.] Su Xing raised his eyebrows and murmured: "So that''s how it is... The realm of Divine Sense I''m currently in is known as the Five Senses Realm!" "As the name implies, the Five Senses Realm uses the five senses of eyes, mouth, nose, tongue, and ears to perceive the surroundings..." "But a person''s five senses are ultimately limited, incapable of sensing overly subtle and minute things." "Perhaps the next realm of Divine Sense is about enhancing one''s ability to sense these subtle details?" Su Xing contemplated thoughtfully, wondering if the realm following the Five Senses Realm could be the Observing the Subtle Realm, or a similar state? His gaze returned to the simulation panel. [In the twenty-fifth year, at the beginning of the year.] [This year, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass was becoming increasingly dire, and you knew that the Demon Race''s army could break through Demon-Subduing Pass and invade the real world at any moment.] [Therefore, you no longer hesitated and entered the Immortal Martial Era Instance.] [You spent half a month gathering the cultivation techniques of the three major sects and the three pieces of jade shards.] Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Later, you took a few more days to find the boulder in the mountains.] [With one punch, you shattered the boulder and once again stepped into the ruins of the ancient tomb.] [Not a quarter of an hour into the ruins, you encountered that troublesome Living Dead Puppet.] [Upon seeing you, the Living Dead Puppet launched an attack right away.] [Without hesitation, you immediately activated your Origin Force armor and used the Protective Gang Qi Divine Skill.] [You fought the Living Dead Puppet for dozens of rounds.] [In terms of pure strength, you were indeed slightly inferior to it.] [But because of the dual protection of Origin Force armor and Protective Gang Qi, your defenses were on par with cultivators of the Broken Void Realm, so you didn''t suffer any injuries.] [Holding the Ink Ice Sword, you wrapped it in Origin Force and continued the battle for hundreds of more rounds.] [The battle shook the formations on the ancient tomb''s stone walls.] [After fighting the Living Dead Puppet for an hour, you bitterly discovered...] [While most of the Living Dead Puppet''s attacks were blocked by your Protective Gang Qi, your strength and offensive methods were still inadequate to destroy it.] [Simply put, your defense was sufficient, but your offense was lacking.] [Every time you managed to inflict a few wounds on the Living Dead Puppet, a dark, ink-like fluid would heal its injuries.] [After battling for hundreds more rounds, you began to change your strategy.] [Since you couldn''t destroy the puppet, yet it couldn''t harm you either, why not force your way past it.] [So, you fully ignited your Protective Gang Qi, ready to ignore the Living Dead Puppet and dash straight through the narrow ancient tomb corridor.] [You exchanged blows with the Living Dead Puppet for a dozen rounds, and then took the opportunity to push it back.] [Your entire body turned into a streak of light, and you decisively rushed towards the depths of the tomb.] [However, the Living Dead Puppet was three parts faster than you, forcing you to simultaneously fight and run as you continued to explore deeper into the tomb.] [The corridor of the ancient tomb was exceedingly long, and you advanced another ten or so miles.] [Your expression changed, for at this moment, the Spiritual Energy in the tomb''s ruins became incredibly dense, almost equaling the concentration found in a blessed land.] [You were greatly shocked, wasn''t the Spiritual Energy in the Immortal Martial Era Instance exhausted? How could such a blessed land still emerge?] [At this point, you couldn''t care less about the relentlessly pursuing Living Dead Puppet; you charged straight into the inner parts of the ancient tomb ruins...] Chapter 257: Chapter 169: Su Xings Small Goal, Aiming for the Broken Void Realm! (5k) As the simulator''s prompt tone fell, a mysterious change occurred within Su Xing''s body...Firstly, it was the transformation of the Spiritual Root. Su Xing could feel that his sensitivity to the surrounding Spiritual Energy had become much sharper. With only a slight effort in circulating his power, the nature''s spiritual energy around him crazily surged towards the Dantian inside Su Xing. This speed was at least more than three times his original! In addition to absorbing Spiritual Power, the speed of cultivation increased, and when Su Xing''s Spiritual Power was depleted, the recovery speed also increased significantly. "Hiss... Is this the strength of the Heavenly Spirit Root?" Su Xing marveled in his heart. No wonder the quality of the Spiritual Root dictates how far a cultivator can go. Compared to a Mixed Spirit Root, the cultivation speed of a Heavenly Spirit Root might be a hundred times faster! Others cultivate for a year, which is equivalent to your hundred years... How could you even compete with them? As for the wonderful aspects of the Heavenly Spirit Root, Su Xing''s current understanding wasn''t enough. After all, his Cultivation Level had been stuck at the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation Stage. It would not be until he broke through into the Return to Void Realm that the mighty power of the Heavenly Spirit Root would truly manifest. Besides the enhancement of the Spiritual Root, Su Xing then sensed changes in the Origin Force within his body. Upon internal inspection with his Divine Sense, Su Xing could feel a seed slowly being planted inside his Dantian. It was the seed of Origin Force! Origin Force flowed out like a gentle stream from the seed of Origin Force, nourishing Su Xing''s flesh and Origin Force. Soon after, within just a few breaths, Su Xing''s seed of Origin Force underwent tremendous changes. From its initially weak state, the seed rapidly grew in volume and essence, becoming several times stronger within a short period! The originally gentle stream thickened several times over a short span, drastically speeding up the supplement of Origin Force. After carefully contemplating, realization dawned on Su Xing''s face. "No wonder, although I previously cultivated the ability to externally release Origin Force... And even though my combat power is formidable, I couldn''t endure for long." "Ordinary Divinity Transformation and Divine Power Phase cultivators can fight for several days... How could such Origin Force possibly last?" "But now... with this seed of Origin Force, even if I fight continuously for several hours, I wouldn''t exhaust my Origin Force..." "If I conserve it a little during battle, using Origin Force only at critical moments, I could probably sustain the fight for several days, right?" Su Xing''s face showed a hint of excitement. The birth of this seed of Origin Force had improved his overall strength by more than fifty percent! The ability to maintain maximum combat power in prolonged battles had at least doubled! After sensing his strength enhancement alone in the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing then began planning his next simulation target. "Based on my current progress in cultivation, entering the Broken Void Realm will definitely be easier than the Return to Void..." "Now that my Origin Force has reached the third stage of maturity, and I''m not far from perfection... in the next simulation, I will definitely be able to practice to perfection!" "And the Divine Skill, Protective Gang Qi, has also reached a minor achievement... The next simulation should at least achieve major completion..." "By then, perhaps I could try breaking through to the Broken Void Realm, right?" At this thought, Su Xing felt somewhat excited. The three essential components for entering Broken Void with Divine Strength: Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, the third stage of Origin Force, and the extreme limits. Su Xing not only achieved them all but also learned an additional Divine Skill for protection. With this, the probability of breaking through to the Broken Void Realm was incredibly high! "The only problem is... with my current strength, can I withstand that pressure in the belly of the beast?" Su Xing had no idea, but he was ready to try. After planning his next simulation target, Su Xing began his routine of concocting Elixirs and managing the Spirit Field, collecting Spiritual Liquid. In the blink of an eye, five days passed. Su Xing had refined a total of four thousand Elixirs and was ready to meet with Jin Congxue in the villa. Su Xing first disguised himself and concealed his breath, then swept the surroundings of the villa with his Divine Sense to make sure no one was watching before entering the villa. Upon seeing Su Xing''s appearance, Jin Congxue was initially startled. Then, realizing who he was, she couldn''t help but roll her eyes and teased: "Wow, Boss, you''re being quite cautious, huh!" Su Xing touched his nose awkwardly and didn''t speak, but being cautious was always right. The two then began to enjoy the delicacies that were prepared in advance. After having their fill, Jin Congxue brought up serious matters. "Right, the Spirit Rice project has already begun... I have reported the Spirit Rice to my grandfather... ah, a Martial Emperor of the Great Xia Military." "After learning the wonderful uses of Spirit Rice, the Great Xia Military immediately sent people to negotiate with me, hoping to get the coordinates of the copy that produces Spirit Rice." "But I didn''t agree. I said that with an annual yield of two million jin of Spirit Rice, our Tarot Society is willing to give the entire annual output of Spirit Rice to the Great Xia Military, but..." "In return, I need the mining rights to the contracts for six mining area copies!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing raised an eyebrow. Wasn''t it four mining area copies? How did it become six? Jin Congxue then said: "Of course... the Great Xia Military naturally did not agree. After some bargaining back and forth, the number of mining area copies was eventually set at four, which met our expected target." As she said this, a cunning flash shone in Jin Congxue''s eyes, like a sly fox enjoying its triumph. Su Xing didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. So the top-notch commerce and official transactions were like haggling in a vegetable market? Su Xing then asked: "So, our matter is confirmed, and the Tarot Society has acquired four more mining area copies?" Jin Congxue nodded in response and said: "Yes, four mining area copies, and they are all first-grade! " "The paperwork is almost finished, and we are currently recruiting miners... Within seven days to two weeks, we should have a stable output of exotic metals!" Chapter 258: Chapter 169: Su Xings Small Goal, Aiming for the Broken Void Realm! (5k)_2 "Of course, as a price, we have to pay the Great Xia Military two million catties of Spirit Rice each year."Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this, as the Spirit Rice was not much; the important thing was that the mine''s copy could be put into production as soon as possible. After discussing business, Su Xing and Jin Congxue chatted for a while. Afterward, Su Xing handed over four thousand Elixirs of this week to Jin Congxue and took away the new goods for the week. Leaving the villa, Su Xing wandered around Kyoto City. After confirming that no one was following him, Su Xing changed his appearance in a hidden corner and reverted to his own looks. Then, Su Xing returned to his school dormitory and skillfully entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land. He first exchanged the new goods for simulation energy, and Su Xing''s energy soared by another thirty million. It reached five hundred and sixty-five million. On August 12, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing began a new round of simulation. "Begin the simulation!" [Ding! This simulation costs 4,800 points of energy, leaving 565,050,000 points of energy, with an unlimited number of remaining simulation opportunities.] [Simulation starts!] [Drawing a Blue Talent costs 10,000 points of energy, and drawing a Purple Talent costs 100,000 points of energy, would you like to draw?] "Draw the Purple Talent!" Su Xing silently said. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent, Longevity Seed!] [Longevity Seed]: Purple Talent, your body carries a unique bloodline, giving you a lifespan twice that of ordinary Cultivators. (PS: Just wait, watch how I outlast everyone!)] Seeing this new Purple Talent, Su Xing was almost dumbfounded. This Longevity Seed Talent was indeed outrageously strong! If a Cultivator in the Mahayana Realm possessed this Talent, their lifespan would double! A lifespan of ten thousand years, directly turning into twenty thousand years! Goodness, this is definitely a Talent that all Cultivators dream of... But the problem was that Su Xing had no need for it! Not to mention his current Cultivation Level at the Divinity Transformation Stage, he could already live for a thousand years. And in twenty-five years, when the Foreign Race descends, he would be not even fifty years old... He wouldn''t have lived even one-twentieth of his potential lifespan... So, this Talent was indeed useless to Su Xing. "Ah, how great it would be if this was a Cultivation World without any threats?" "With this Talent alone, I could survive until the end of time in the Cultivation World..." Su Xing sighed, his gaze focused on the simulation panel. "Let''s set a small goal for this simulation, to break through to the Broken Void Realm!" [In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you are aware that you are simulating.] [You begin your daily Cultivation of Origin Force and Divine Skills Protective Gang Qi.] [Due to the Seed of Origin Force, you are able to Cultivate Divine Skills for five hours every day.] [With high-intensity Divine Skills cultivation, your understanding of Protective Gang Qi improves day by day.] [Quickly one week passes, and Jin Congxue tells you that the mine''s copy has officially begun operation, and they can supply you with foreign metals every week.] [After hearing this, you breathe a sigh of relief, but your mind is not on it.] [Once you confirm that the foreign metals can be produced normally, you prepare to head to the Descending Sect.] [You go to Shuangqing City, restrain some of your Divine Sense, and then start to lure out that Damned Zong.] [As expected, a few days later, that Damned Zong appears, treating you with utmost respect, constantly calling you ''senior.''] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Naturally, you play the part of a venerable elder, and with that Damned Zong''s introduction, you join the Descending Sect.] [After joining the Descending Sect, on the surface, you are brothers with that Damned Zong, but in reality, you have already collected quite a lot of medicinal materials through Luo Shuying.] [So you stay in the Descending Sect with peace of mind, crafting Elixirs while Cultivating Origin Force Divine Skills.] [Quickly, two years go by.] [In the third year, you craft more than a hundred thousand Elixirs, and you manage to take most of the medicinal materials stored in the Descending Sect''s treasure vault into your possession.] [Believing the time is right, you decide to defect from the Descending Sect with Luo Shuying.] [Following the defection, you are pursued by the Descending Sect.] [But with the protection of the Great Xia Military, you are quite safe... but that Damned Zong ends up being the unlucky one...] [After joining the Great Xia Military, you maintain your daily Alchemy and Cultivation routine, and two years pass in a blink.] [In the fifth year, you turn all the medicinal materials amassed over the years into Elixirs, adding many powerful beings to the Great Xia Country.] [At the same time, you have stored up seventy days'' worth of the "Great Wisdom" duration, which you plan to use on the Cultivation of Origin Force.] [With a clear target for the simulation, you decide to focus on the Cultivation of Origin Force and temporarily suspend the tempering of your Divine Sense and the Cultivation of the Visualization Method.] [In the sixth year, with daily Cultivation lasting five hours, your mastery of Protective Gang Qi becomes increasingly refined.] [Occasionally during the Cultivation of Divine Skills, you use the "Great Wisdom Talent," which allows you to Cultivate much faster than before.] [Amid the monotonous Cultivation, another two years fly by.] [In the eighth year, one day you sense a familiar aura, surprisingly that of the fleeing Damned Zong, hiding near Kyoto City.] [Without hesitation, you quickly launch a surprise attack on that Damned Zong.] [That Damned Zong dodges the sneak attack, realizing he is no match for you, he starts to flee for his life.] [It takes you three days to hunt him down, but sadly, that Damned Zong''s Storage Magical Artifact is destroyed, and you cannot obtain his inheritance.] [After killing that Damned Zong, you return to your peaceful daily Cultivation.] [In the ninth year, as you can only Cultivate the Origin Force Divine Skills for five hours a day, you have more energy to spend time with family and friends.] [Occasionally, when the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass is tense, you still enter to kill some enemies.] [In the tenth year, one day after Cultivating the Origin Force Divine Skills, you have nothing to do and decide to head to Demon-Subduing Pass to kill enemies.] Chapter 259: Chapter 169: Su Xings Small Goal, Aiming for the Broken Void Realm! (5k)_3 [Just as I encountered a Demon Emperor charging atop the city wall.][Without hesitation, Origin Force enveloped my Ink Ice Sword, and then I slashed out!] [This stroke cut the Demon Emperor in two. I collected the Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor and began to examine the injuries of the surrounding soldiers.] [To my surprise, among the soldiers who''d been ambushed, there was my good brother Yu Yan!] [After more than a decade, Yu Yan had not only survived in Demon-Subduing Pass but had even broken through to the level of a Heavenly King!] Seeing this, the corners of Su Xing''s mouth slightly curved upward. "Indeed, Fatty Yu is not so easy to die!" "He''s still alive in Demon-Subduing Pass after ten years, that puts my mind at ease..." Su Xing reflected with a sigh. It had been over a month since their graduation. Yu Yan had also successfully joined the forces at Demon-Subduing Pass, fighting for the Great Xia Military. During this time, Su Xing occasionally contacted Yu Yan. After the trials of the battlefield, Su Xing clearly felt that Yu Yan had become much more composed. Previously, Su Xing had also sponsored the soldiers at Demon-Subduing Pass through Jin Congxue, in the name of the Jin Merchant Guild. Among them, he gave Yu Yan several purple epic-class pieces of equipment. Yu Yan was one of his few friends, and naturally, Su Xing did not want to see him get into trouble. Therefore, he helped whenever he could, and these pieces of purple equipment significantly enhanced Yu Yan''s ability to survive. "Speaking of which... by this time next year, my little sister should be graduating too, right?" Su Xing sighed, having spent the past year busy with simulations and increasing his strength; he hadn''t even gone home for the holidays. Su''s little sister also attended a top academy in the south. With his newfound wealth, Su Xing occasionally transferred some money to her. The influence of the Jin Merchant Guild was not small in the south. As a result, Su Xing even asked the Jin Merchant Guild to employ his little sister, who performed some safe missions with generous rewards from time to time. This allowed his little sister''s strength to grow significantly faster. Recalling all these past events, Su Xing''s eyes reflected a mix of emotions. He too wanted nothing more than to spend every day with his family and friends. But the apocalypse weighed on Su Xing''s mind like a mountain. Su Xing thought that as long as he cultivated to immortality and his strength was sufficient, would it be difficult to accompany his parents and family for a hundred years, or even a thousand or ten thousand years? With this thought, Su Xing''s determination to pursue the path became even more tenacious, his gaze turning towards the simulation panel.

[As expected, although the Human Race had many more powerful cultivators over the years thanks to me, compared to the might of the Foreign Race, they were still far behind.] [In most cases, humanity could only rely on the mighty Demon-Subduing Pass to fend off the invasions of the Demonic Beasts.] [Witnessing all this, I only cultivated more diligently.] [In the eleventh year, I still maintained my cultivation of Origin Force, and despite the presence of Origin Force seeds, the time I could spend cultivating Origin Force each day was merely five hours.] [The rest of the time was spent battling enemies at Demon-Subduing Pass, reducing the losses of the Human Race.] [Even though I knew it was a simulation, I could not stand idly by and watch my friends and fellow humans die before me.] [I killed many Demon Emperors, but by now the Flesh Essences of Demon Emperors were no longer of much use to me.] [So I began researching whether the Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor could enhance the strength of the Human Race professionals.] [According to my research, when ordinary Human Race professionals consumed Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor, they could hardly digest the energy within, so their strength only increased slightly.] [Therefore, I attempted to research turning the Flesh Essence into Elixirs, hoping to enhance the strength of the Human Race in this manner.] [In the twelfth year, I studied the medicinal properties of Flesh Essence during my spare time, while maintaining my daily cultivation.] [According to Li Fire Alchemy, there was an Elixir called Rebirth Pill, which was only of low grade.] [Its effect could compensate for the innate deficiencies of Qi Refinement practitioners. Even those with weak physical constitutions could greatly improve their physique after consuming several Rebirth Pills, almost comparable to the early stages of Body Refinement Cultivators.] [And the main ingredient was the flesh of some precious Spirit Pets, as it contained the essence of life.] [According to my idea, if the main ingredient was slightly modified, the effect of Demonic Beast Flesh Essence might be even better.] [So I continued my cultivation while attempting to refine new Elixirs.] [In the twelfth year, I made a minor breakthrough in my cultivation of Protective Gang Qi, nearing the Mahayana Level.] [That same year, my research on Rebirth Pills also progressed further. Initially, I used Demon King Flesh Essence as the main ingredient, and while the effect was outstanding, the potency was too wild, with significant side effects.] [I didn''t use humans for the experiment, only capturing some monsters from the simulations to test.] [I observed that some monsters increased in strength after consuming the pill, but some burst open and died.] [I wasn''t satisfied with the outcome, so I tried improving the pill''s formula in my spare time away from daily training.] [In the thirteenth year, my Divine Skill of Protective Gang Qi was getting closer and closer to Mahayana Level.] [At the same time, after many revisions, the side effects and instability of the Rebirth Pill had been greatly reduced, but it was still not safe enough to be used on professionals.] [Amidst the arduous cultivation and countless revisions to the Elixir over two years, time steadily passed.] [In the fifteenth year, on a sunny and peaceful afternoon, my years of hard work paid off, and my Divine Skill Protective Gang Qi finally entered the Mahayana Level!] [Simultaneously, my mastery of Origin Force grew closer to perfection, approaching the third stage''s completion.] [That same year, I finally refined the Rebirth Pill - its potency was so strong that it could even compare to a mid-grade Elixir!] Chapter 263: Chapter 171: First Taste of Extreme Trials, Heavenly Thunder Physique! (5k) [You didn''t resist, but quietly stimulated your Origin Force armor, propping up your Protective Gang Qi.][You entered the stomach of the gigantic beast along with an entire continent.] Su Xing''s heart lifted at the sight. Whether he could break his limits and step into the Broken Void Realm depended on this moment! His gaze turned to the simulation panel. [With the world spinning around, the surrounding mountains, rocks, vegetation, and even continents were rapidly dissolving.] [You watched helplessly as life after life vanished before your eyes, unable to offer even the slightest resistance.] [You were doing your best to maintain your Protective Gang Qi, guarding against the space turbulence that could occur at any moment.] [Soon, with the frequent appearances of explosions and space turbulence, all of the continents and lives were successively disappearing.] [A powerful suction was pulling you towards the deeper part of the beast''s stomach.] [It was like a small black hole, voraciously swallowing everything around it.] [You barely adjusted your position, preventing yourself from being sucked into the black hole.] [Gradually, not just the mountains, rocks, and water began to dissipate, but even the air was rapidly vanishing.] [The entire space turned into a near-vacuum state.] [Due to the fluctuations of the space turbulence, you couldn''t enter the Spirit Field Cave to replenish oxygen.] [You could only maintain your breathing by dissipating your own Spiritual Energy and relying on the formidable power of a Body Refinement Cultivator''s lungs.] [You don''t know how much time passed, but the environment around you was becoming increasingly inhospitable.] [Almost all visible matter turned to nothingness; in the pitch-black, empty space, you were the only life form still persevering.] [A sense of loneliness and desolation arose within you.] [But fortunately, your resolve was firm and you continued to grit your teeth and endure.] [After a while, you started to see the dim outlines of world remnants amidst the space turbulence.] [These were small worlds (instances), which had become World Fragments along with the destruction of Blue Star.] [You dared not approach those World Fragments, knowing their terrifying destructive power; even as a Cultivator of the Broken Void Realm, you had absolutely no resistance against it.] [You began to search for the ultimate limits that you could withstand.] [In such a dire environment, where oxygen was almost non-existent, no longer suitable for carbon-based life to survive,] [as a Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage, protected inside and out by your Protective Gang Qi, this wasn''t enough to push you to your limits.] [At last, you saw the collision of two World Fragments, which, with the fluctuation of the power of space, burst forth with dazzling light and terrifying thunder, like two dark clouds colliding.] [You recalled what Niu Ruolie told you, the power of thunder, was also a way to break limits!] [And the thunder before you was obviously far beyond the power of ordinary thunder.] [But you didn''t dare to try rashly, so you searched for some smaller World Fragments and approached the edge of the area where thunder was produced after their collision.] [Boom, boom, boom!] [The terrifying thunder struck towards your body; a single strike nearly destabilized your Protective Gang Qi.] [You quickly exerted all your strength to mobilize Origin Force, keeping the Protective Gang Qi stable.] [At the same time, a strand of the power of thunder struck your body.] [This was not ordinary thunder, but thunder containing a trace of the Power of Laws!] [You gritted your teeth and endured, feeling immense pain transmitted from your body.] [You could feel your body slowly approaching its limits.] [After a good while, you readjusted your state and operated Protective Gang Qi, moving closer to the next thunder zone.] [You entered the thunder zone time after time, using the thunder to temper your body over and over.] sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

(5k)_2 [Therefore, grasp this opportunity and strive to elevate yourself.][Enduring the agony, you let the power of thunder and lightning continuously temper your body, stepping towards the limit step by step.] [Just then, another bolt of lightning struck you...] [Boom!] [After a flash of lightning, your Protective Gang Qi was completely shattered.] [Without enough time to muster another layer of Protective Gang Qi, your body was obliterated by the endless lightning.] [Along with your Divine Soul, pulverized by the Power of Laws...] [You died!] [Simulation ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing felt a sense of regret and loss. "To think, I actually failed..." In the few short minutes, Su Xing watched the simulation text with his heart in his throat. In the process of breaking his limits, Su Xing, relying on his strong Origin Force and Divine Skills of Protective Gang Qi, managed to endure the initial rounds of the thunder''s baptism. His body kept breaking through, drawing ever closer to his own limits. He even gained a precious trace of the power of thunder... But later, Su Xing chose to further challenge himself, venturing into a more powerful region of lightning, only to be demolished by the thunder, his efforts falling short... Su Xing was silent for a moment, asking himself in his heart. If given another chance, would he still enter the moderate thunder area to endure a stronger baptism by the power of thunder? Or would he... proceed methodically, seeking out the smaller thunder areas to break through his limits and advance to the Broken Void Realm? "I think, if given another chance... I would still choose the powerful region of lightning to accept the baptism!" A resolute look flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. The path of cultivation is inherently a struggle against the heavens. If one always remains mediocre, they will eventually stagnate and be swallowed by the torrents of time. "Clearly, accepting the baptism of the smaller lightning region... although it could also lead to becoming Broken Void, the gains would definitely not be as great as those from the moderate thunder!" "And what I want is to be the strongest!" Su Xing was very clear in his heart; the power of the Thunder Laws is a precious force. The Power of Laws is a mysterious power only Immortals can access. For Su Xing, a mere cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage, to come in contact with this Power of Laws was already an immense stroke of fortune! If he could really obtain the Power of Laws, Su Xing would receive many benefits. "It''s a pity... my Protective Gang Qi is only at the Mahayana level, not strong enough to withstand two consecutive bolts of thunder imbued with the power of Laws..." Su Xing sighed. Even the slightest trace of the Laws in the thunder was more than he could currently withstand. "So, how can I withstand two consecutive bolts of thunder?" Su Xing pondered thoughtfully. The only method he could think of was to further enhance his Protective Gang Qi to Great Perfection! Protective Gang Qi at Great Perfection, coupled with Origin Force at the third stage of Great Perfection, was already the limit for Su Xing''s current realm. "What a pity, I thought I could succeed in one go..." Su Xing sighed again. He muttered about the horrific, adverse conditions within the space in the belly of the giant beast. Ordinary cultivators at the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm only need to release their Origin Force to form an armor of Origin Force to break their limits. Because their bodily limits are lower, the extreme environments they need to break through are much safer. But with a solid foundation like Su Xing''s, he requires an even more extreme environment to break his own limits. "If I could break through my limits in such an extreme place, maybe after advancing to the Broken Void Realm, my combat power could directly match that of cultivators in the middle or even late stages of the Broken Void, right?" Su Xing had some craving in his heart. "I''ll try once more, this time I''ll train my Protective Gang Qi to Great Perfection... If I still can''t withstand the successive thunderbolts... then I''ll settle for the next best thing..." That''s what Su Xing resolved in his heart. His gaze turned towards the rewards on the simulation panel. [Elixir of Longevity]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including the understanding of crafting the Rebirth Pill at Great Perfection level, priced at 5 million energy points. [Origin Force Cultivation Insights]: Origin Force at the fully released Great Perfection level, picking this will greatly evolve the Origin Force within your body, a perpetual cycle of Origin Force. Priced at 50 million energy points. [One Million Drops of Low Grade Spiritual Liquid]: Priced at 100 million energy points. [Protective Gang Qi (Mahayana Level)]: Origin Force Divine Skill, Mahayana level Protective Gang Qi, invulnerability within three feet of Gang Qi, as long as the Gang Qi remains unbroken, the person remains unharmed, not far from complete mastery of Divine Skills, priced at 50 million simulation energy. [Heavenly Thunder Physique (Incomplete)]: Enduring the baptism of heavenly thunder, tempered by the power of the Thunder Laws, the body contains the ultimate power of thunder, naturally possessing a high sensitivity to the thunder element, a chance to form the special Five Elements Spiritual Root - Thunder Spiritual Root, slightly enhancing cultivation aptitude and the physical body, priced at 50 million energy. After seeing the rewards for the simulation, a glint of light flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. "Heavenly Thunder Physique!?" "Could it be, this is the benefit I could get after undergoing the baptism of thunder?" Su Xing was slightly excited as he looked at the description of the Heavenly Thunder Physique. Indeed, after the baptism of thunder, Su Xing would indeed reap additional rewards. "To enhance the physical body and the speed of cultivation, as well as affinity with thunder elements... and even, the potential to comprehend the Thunder Spiritual Root!" Su Xing was amazed. It is known that the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, consisting of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Five Elements Spiritual Roots each have their strengths and weaknesses, and are the most common types of Spiritual Roots. However, beyond the Five Elements, there are special Spiritual Roots, like the Thunder Spiritual Root! The strongest aspect of the Thunder Spiritual Root is its ultimate destructive power! S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 265: Chapter 171: First Taste of Extreme Trials, Heavenly Thunder Physique! (5k)_3 ```Even more superior to the Fire Spiritual Root by no small margin. It could be said that if Su Xing were to obtain this Thunder Spiritual Root, his combat abilities would be further enhanced. In addition, against spectral entities, ghosts, and the like, the Thunder Spiritual Root possesses a natural restraining power. Even after Su Xing achieved immortality, if there were an opportunity, owning the Thunder Spiritual Root could allow him to attempt to comprehend the Thunder Law! Thinking of this, Su Xing''s breathing became somewhat rapid. "It''s just a pity that this is still an incomplete Thunder Spiritual Root... If I could endure through the medium thunder zone''s heavenly thunder baptism, I would surely obtain more of the Power of Laws from the thunder!" "By then, I should be able to acquire the complete form of the Heavenly Thunder Physique, right?" Su Xing muttered to himself. Then, Su Xing looked at his alchemy enlightenment talent. Clearly, in this simulation, Su Xing had improved, or it could even be said that he optimized the Rebirth Pill. As a result, his proficiency with the Rebirth Pill immediately reached the completion level! "This Rebirth Pill Refining Experience could be taken out in the future... but there''s no need for it now..." After giving it some thought, Su Xing did not hesitate and said: "In this simulation, I choose Protective Gang Qi (Mahayana Level) and the insights of Origin Force cultivation!" As his words fell, the simulator''s prompt sounded in Su Xing''s ears. [You have successfully taken out the results of Origin Force cultivation, spending 50 million energy, remaining energy 514.95 million points.] [You have successfully taken out Protective Gang Qi (Mahayana Level), spending 50 million energy, remaining energy 464.95 million points.] As the simulator''s prompt faded, two mysterious forces entered Su Xing''s body. First to change was the Origin Force seed within Su Xing''s body. The Origin Force seed, which continuously emitted Origin Force, became even more complete in just a few breaths. The speed at which Origin Force flowed out had increased more than twice over in an instant! At the same time, Su Xing felt that his Origin Force had also been sublimated at that moment. A more extreme destructive power, a stronger defensive nature! Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And an even more enduring combat capability! Su Xing''s eyes were slightly closed as he silently experienced the subtle changes in the Origin Force inside his body. "Attack and defense in one Origin Force is indeed the powerful foundation of a Body Refinement Cultivator!" Su Xing''s mouth curved slightly upward as he murmured. Afterwards, Su Xing began to experience the strength of his Mahayana Level Protective Gang Qi. "Strange... this Protective Gang Qi, both in terms of tenacity and defense, is more than twice as strong as before, so how has it not yet reached the completeness of Mahayana Level?" Su Xing contemplated carefully once more. Then, with a decided tone, he murmured: "My current Protective Gang Qi is probably close to completion level... It''s just a shame that I''m a whisker away from perfection... By then, I should be able to withstand the power of thunder in succession, right?" Su Xing thought to himself. After feeling the enhancement of his strength, Su Xing once again threw himself into the busy emperor-like life of the new week without a break. He adeptly crafted elixirs, collected Spiritual Liquids, and tended to the Spirit Fields. By now, Su Xing had almost fully cultivated all five hundred mu of Spirit Fields and utilized them effectively. The vast majority of Spirit Fields were planted with Spirit Grains, close to five hundred mu. The rest were planted with Gathering Spirit Flowers, Divine Power Vines, Ginseng, Yellow Immortal Essence, Essence-Nourishing Herbs, and other Spiritual Medicines. And because the Spirit Field Cave was rich in Spiritual Energy, coupled with the blessing of Su Xing''s talent as a Descendant of Shennong. ``` Su Xing had already harvested a small batch of Spiritual Medicine. He could even attempt refining Organ Refining Pills, Essence-Nourishing Pills, and Divine Strength Pills himself. "Tsk tsk, if these Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills were to appear in the present world... they would probably cause a frantic scramble, right?" "Unfortunately, there will be too many unstable factors by then. Right now, I have no shortage of simulated energy, so I might as well wait..." Su Xing murmured. As for the Divine Strength Pill... that was a powerful elixir capable of nurturing Martial Emperor powerhouses! A single Divine Strength Pill would probably cause a tremor in the entire Great Xia market. Before he had the strength to ignore any assassination and danger, Su Xing did not plan to reveal it to the world. Soon, Su Xing, with the new week''s elixirs, changed his appearance and concealed his aura before meeting Jin Congxue at the villa. Today, Jin Congxue was wearing a light blue dress that was full of youthful charm. With her innocent and desirable face, she even made Su Xing take a few more glances. "Tsk, little pervert, what are you looking at?" Jin Congxue rolled her eyes, the coquettishness in the moment seemingly boundless. "If you really want to look... come find me tonight, I''ll let you have your fill~" Having said that, Jin Congxue seductively curled her finger at Su Xing. As an energetic young man, Su Xing took a big gulp of iced cola to calm the excitement in his heart. Su Xing kept reminding himself. "Su Xing, you must resist temptation! Our goal is to become stronger! Women will only slow down your sword-drawing speed!" After such self-brainwashing, Su Xing said: "Cough cough, definitely next time!" He then quickly changed the topic and said: "By the way, how is the development of the mining side-branch coming along?" Hearing this, Jin Congxue also started talking about serious matters, saying: "The manpower is all arranged properly, and the development is almost complete!" "Next week, there should be new exotic metals able to be supplied, and the quantity will be more than three to four times greater than before!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. Afterwards, the two chatted for a bit more before Su Xing took the new week''s goods and left. He skillfully made several large loops around the area to make sure no one was following before returning to the dormitory and entering into the Spirit Field Blessed Land. After converting the new week''s goods into energy, Su Xing''s simulated energy reached 498 million points! On the afternoon of August 19th, 2024, Su Xing began a new round of simulation on schedule. "This time, I must succeed in one fell swoop, awaken the Heavenly Thunder Physique, and break through to the Broken Void Realm!" Su Xing cheered himself on. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 4,900 points of energy, leaving a balance of 498.33 million points, and unlimited remaining simulations.] [Simulation start!] [Drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy; drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy. Would you like to draw?] "Draw the Purple Talent!" Su Xing said decisively. Although his goal this time was to reach the Broken Void Realm, if he came across a precious Purple Talent, Su Xing wouldn''t mind adding it to his collection. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent, Success Master!] [Success Master]: Purple Talent, your language possesses incredible artistry and infectiveness, often making others believe in you without a doubt, and even willingly lay down their lives for you. Note: The consequences of this talent are unpredictable, and the specific effect depends on the target''s strength, personality, and the difference in status between the two parties, so use it with caution. (A certain success master: Give one million to those who betray me, so in the future, those who are loyal to me will just be a few small goals! Clap if you understand!)] Chapter 266: Chapter 172: The Magical Talent, Master of Success! (First Update) "A self-help guru?"Su Xing stroked his chin after seeing this talent and muttered: "This talent is quite interesting, isn''t it?" "So, it''s basically a master of deception... capable of fooling the target?" "Just not sure how effective this thing actually is, depends on the target''s strength and status..." Su Xing couldn''t quite grasp the specific effects of the talent and decided to try it out in the simulation. Target looks at the simulation panel. [In the midst of the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You leave the Spirit Field Cave and return to the real world.] [You plan to test the effect of being a self-help guru.] [You walk around the school, randomly pick a student on the path, and tell him you are his long-lost mother.] [The student looks up at you, a puzzled look in his eyes, curses at you for being sick, and then turns and leaves.] [You are dissatisfied with the performance of the self-help guru talent and decide to find two more targets to try.] [You pick another passing student, this time telling him you are his long-lost half-brother from the same mother.] [And you detail a whole lot, from the neighbor Old Wang cuckolding his dad, to his mom getting pregnant... to you being abandoned on a bench in the park...] [Throughout the process, you speak with incredible detail, as though it all actually happened.] [In the end, the student believes you, collapsing emotionally into sobs and tears, hugging your thighs and calling you brother.] [Seeing more and more onlookers gathering around, you hurry away pretending something came up.] [Months later, a figure searching for a long-lost brother is often seen in the school...] [After fooling that student, you find a Heavenly King Level teacher in the school.] [You tell him that his father has just passed away and that you have come especially to convey the news.] [You talk about his father''s cause of death and the time of death as if it were all true.] [In the end, the teacher breaks down in tears, thanks you, and then runs toward the principal''s office of the school.] [Later, you learn that the teacher''s father is a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse, and also one of the school''s vice-principals.] [Thus, you spend three days testing out the effects of the new talent.] [A few days later, the Tarot Society''s mine instance unfolds successfully, bringing you a lot of exotic metals each week.] [After confirming there are no issues with the Tarot Commerce Association, you prepare to join the Descending Sect.] Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing looks at this, a strange look flashing in his eyes. "So, this art of deception... the self-help guru talent isn''t omnipotent after all, its implementation still requires many conditions." "For instance, the student I found at the beginning, though probably only silver or gold level... because what I said was too outrageous, the genders didn''t match, and the age gap was too large... it defied common sense, so I was seen through at a glance..." After a pause, Su Xing analyzes further. "However, once I fleshed out the logic in my explanation, the chances of successfully fooling someone with the self-help guru talent increased significantly!" "Even the story of a long-lost brother or a Martial Emperor father dying on the spot, people would believe it based just on a single encounter..." "Tsk tsk~ this self-help guru really has something going for it!" Su Xing muttered to himself, feeling that he still hadn''t fully tapped into the strong points of the self-help guru. If he encountered logic that was very unreasonable... but Su Xing forcefully provided a set of logic, what would happen then? Suddenly, Su Xing found the talent more interesting. He looks at the simulation panel. [You leave Kyoto and head to Shuangqing City in the southwest province.] [Afterwards, you suppress your Divine Sense and cover the entire Shuangqing City, ultimately drawing out Damned Zong.] [You tell Damned Zong that you are his long-lost father, going into detail about the reasons and process of separation, and with heavy heart express that you have been looking for him for thousands of years and finally found him.] [Damned Zong looks puzzled after hearing your words, seemingly deep in thought.] [Long after, a smile spreads across his face, and he says, "Elder, stop joking around."] [Clearly, since the strength gap between the two of you isn''t large and Damned Zong is naturally cautious, the talent activation fails.] [After the failure, you feel no embarrassment, and you follow Damned Zong into joining the Descending Sect.] [After joining the Descending Sect, you declare in front of all the followers that you have long aspired to join the Foreign Race and had long wished to submit to them.] [For this, you didn''t hesitate to travel thousands of miles, all to serve the Descending Sect, and you vow to lead the Sect to greater prosperity.] [Your speech lasts a full three days, and many of the followers in the Descending Sect are moved by you, taking your words as gospel.] [Even some followers contact you in private, hoping you can establish a fourth faction, aside from the "Natural Faction, Fanatic Faction, Coexistence Faction."] [And they will charge ahead for you!] [What you didn''t expect is that there are not a few such believers, with even several hundred of them.] [Later, even faction leaders come to you, hoping you will become a protector, and indicate that their positions will eventually be yours!] [You are amazed by the power of the self-help guru talent and privately seek out Luo Shuying.] [This time, you don''t even utter the secret phrase, managing to convince Luo Shuying with just the story.] [She completely believes you, and is moved by your countless journeys across timelines to save the world, hoping to do more for you.] [With Luo Shuying''s assistance, you quickly gather a large number of medicinal ingredients.] Chapter 267: Chapter 172: The Magical Talent, Master of Success! (First Update)_2 [Afterward, he began the daily routine of concocting elixirs and practicing his Protective Gang Qi Divine Skills.][However, because of his unbelievably spectacular performance as a Master of Success, many followers came to him in private, leaving him frustrated and unable to concentrate on his cultivation.] [So he simply declared that he was entering seclusion to contemplate ways to lead the Descending Sect to its peak.] [To his surprise, as soon as he said this, the number of die-hard fans within the Descending Sect instantly multiplied!] [Countless members of the Descending Sect believed wholeheartedly in him, convinced that under his leadership, the sect would reach new heights of glory!] [Even many Elder-level followers began to see him as a figure of reverence and strived to emulate him.] Su Xing glanced at this and a more and more bizarre expression appeared on his face. "Tsk tsk... are the followers of the Descending Sect all missing a screw or something?" "Are they really that easy to bamboozle?" Su Xing pondered for a moment and figured that anyone willing to become a traitor to the Human Race probably had some issues in the first place. Plus, did these people need a spiritual crutch to hypnotize themselves into forgetting the fact that they had betrayed the Human Race? Hence with various factors at play, was it possible that his success teachings as a Master got an exceptionally high bonus? Su Xing nodded slightly, feeling that this was probably the case. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Just wondering, if I were to defect from the Descending Sect... what would the reaction of these followers be?" Su Xing thought the scene of the followers'' faith collapsing would definitely be interesting, so he couldn''t wait to look at the simulation panel. [In the second year, you continued to make elixirs and practice your Origin Force Divine Skills every day in the Descending Sect.] [Over two years, you had accumulated over one hundred thousand elixirs and attained the Great Wisdom State for more than sixty days, while your Origin Force Divine Skills Protective Gang Qi was getting closer to perfection.] [In the third year, you had almost gathered all the herbs you needed, and there was no longer any benefit in staying with the Descending Sect.] [Thus, on a dark and stormy night, you fled the Descending Sect with Luo Shuying.] [Before betraying the Descending Sect, you didn''t forget to share a meal with the Damned Zong and slander him.] [Soon after, you and Luo Shuying escaped to Kyoto, and the news of your betrayal spread quickly.] [Initially, everyone in the Descending Sect, from the protectors to the regular members, utterly refused to believe it.] [They couldn''t fathom that you, with such firm belief, would choose to betray the Sect.] [As a result, the Sect was thrown into chaos and split into two factions.] [Some members were convinced that other protectors had framed you and spread rumors, so they sought to clarify things with you.] [Others even thought that you were on a secret mission to infiltrate the Great Xia Military to coordinate an internal and external assault to annihilate the Human Race.] [Ultimately, these followers gathered and left the Descending Sect overnight, heading for Kyoto, to clear things up with you.] [These followers accounted for eighty percent of the Sect''s population!] [Over twenty thousand followers, ranging from Heavenly King Level Elders to Master Level common members, all came to Kyoto looking for you.] [Suddenly, the streets of Kyoto were filled with many unfamiliar faces of powerful beings.] [You quickly noticed this anomaly and went to meet these twenty thousand followers.] [They asked why you had left the Descending Sect to join the Great Xia Military.] [While you were making arrangements with the Great Xia Military to capture all of these people at once,] [you knew you couldn''t tell the truth, so you had to continue to use your Success Master talent to bamboozle them.] [You told them that you felt the Sect''s ideals were no longer pure; the three factions were all fighting their own battles and could no longer be considered the true Descending Sect.] [You continued the charade, explaining that during your seclusion, you had realized a new path.] [And that was to kill the Foreign Race and to engage in an all-out struggle against them!] [When you revealed this path, some of the Descending Sect members immediately objected.] [But you argued that only by slaying the great members of the Foreign Race could one really provoke them! Since the power of the Foreign Race was unimaginably strong, it would surely lead to the quicker destruction of the Human Race!] [This way was the fastest means to let the Foreign Race unify the entire real world!] [Your reasoning was so far-fetched that even you could hardly believe it.] [Yet incredibly, after hearing your words, all the followers fell into contemplation.] [Some quickly believed you, their eyes shining with a fanatical light, convinced that the path you found was the true way of the Descending Sect!] [Others were conflicted but were quickly influenced by the mood of the crowd and joined the mindless horde that worshipped you.] [Even the last batch of slightly more lucid followers were brainwashed by your speech and became eager to attempt the path you proposed.] [There were even followers who suggested convincing the remaining members of the Sect to join as well.] [This led to an event so ridiculous it almost made you question life itself: over twenty thousand followers were all swayed by your deceit and became part of the army opposing the Demon Race!] [These followers, mostly substantial in strength, ranging from Master Level to Heavenly King Level would be a force not to be ignored if they joined Demon-Subduing Pass.] [Without lifting a finger, you had essentially dissolved a considerable part of the Descending Sect''s power, making them loyal members of the army against the Demon Race.] [Under the Great Xia Military''s arrangements, these twenty thousand plus followers all joined the Demon-Subduing Pass, forming a special legion called the Descending Army!] In the real world, Su Xing stared at the simulation text in front of him, almost dropping his jaw to the floor. "Damn, is this some kind of joke?" Chapter 268: Chapter 172: The Magical Talent, Master of Success! (First Update)_3 "These Descending Sect followers are really so easy to swindle... isn''t this one not only swindled but even bought a wheelchair along the way?"Su Xing realized that his talent for success coaching, if fully utilized, was shockingly effective! "Goodness, turning enemies into friends just like that..." Su Xing smacked his lips and continued to read on. [After swindling this group of followers, you continued to throw yourself into the busy life of cultivation and alchemy.] [In the fourth year, you handed over the more than two hundred thousand elixirs you had crafted over the years to the Great Xia Military.] [At once, the military strength of the Great Xia Military greatly increased, and the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass was looking up.] [After completing the elixir production, you devoted more energy to cultivating the Protective Gang Qi divine skill.] [During the fifth year, besides cultivation, you began to develop the Rebirth Pill, wanting to see how much these elixirs could enhance the strength of the Great Xia Country.] [Through continuous experimentation and alchemy, your mastery of the Rebirth Pill gradually improved.] [In the sixth year, you felt that your divine skill, Protective Gang Qi, was only one step away from reaching perfection.] [So you decided to use all of the accumulated Great Wisdom time of over one hundred days in one go, striving to break through to the perfected realm!] [Finally, on a night with a sparse starry sky, you gritted your teeth and practiced alone.] [As you continuously infused Origin Force into your Protective Gang Qi, at a certain moment, you finally felt a change in your Protective Gang Qi!] [The defensive limit of Protective Gang Qi doubled in a very short time, with its defending power becoming twice that of the original!] [And as the power of Protective Gang Qi increased, you also felt that its consumption of Origin Force was higher.] [The continuous supply of Origin Force within your body was already far less than the consumption rate!] [Over the next month, you carefully studied the use and consumption of Origin Force by Protective Gang Qi.] [Finally, your mastery of Protective Gang Qi naturally reached perfection, attaining a miraculous level.] [You could precisely control the strength of the Protective Gang Qi from every angle.] [If the enemy''s attack came from the front, you would maximize the Origin Force at the front of the Protective Gang Qi, while reducing the Origin Force at the back or below your feet.] [In this way, you could minimize the consumption.] [Furthermore, when Protective Gang Qi was at full strength, the defense power could directly double, but the consumption of Origin Force within your body would reach a shocking level.] [After testing, with full Origin Force, your body''s Origin Force could only support one hour.] Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Even so, you were quite satisfied with the effects of Protective Gang Qi!] [You were confident that, at this moment, your Protective Gang Qi could definitely withstand two or even three consecutive strikes of lightning force!] [Now all was prepared, save for the appearance of great beasts, at which point you would be able to reach your extreme limit...] [Thus breaking through your own limit and achieving the Broken Void Realm!] [But you did not plan to waste the subsequent more than a decade; you intended to further test the potency of the Rebirth Pill.] [On the seventh year, you arrived at Demon-Subduing Pass. With your current strength, killing Demon Kings was as easy as slaughtering chickens.] [Even the Demon Emperors could not last more than three rounds in your hands.] [In just one short month, you killed more than ten Demon Emperors and several hundred Demon Kings.] [Just as you were preparing to use their Flesh Essence to continue developing the Rebirth Pill, you unexpectedly observed an army fighting bravely on the battlefield.] [This army had merely a few thousand men but fought fearlessly, often exchanging their lives to kill a single Demonic Beast.] [Even in death, the soldiers of this army wore smiles on their faces, shouting something enthusiastically.] [Touched by the style of this army, you inquired of Lu Yuanwu about the origin of this army.] [When Lu Yuanwu heard you ask like this, a strange look appeared on his face.] [He told you that this army was originally composed of Descending Sect followers.] [When these followers first came to Demon-Subduing Pass, Lu Yuanwu was very wary of them and had his soldiers keep a close watch on them.] [But soon, everyone was moved by the fearless fighting spirit of this death-defying army.] [They always charged to the front lines in monster-slaying, indifferent to their own death, even willing to trade a life-for-life with the Demon Race.] [With such a fighting style, this army became the one with the most demonic kills.] [At the same time, in just three years, the original crowd of over twenty thousand followers had dwindled to a mere three thousand...] [Hearing Lu Yuanwu''s words, you remained silent.] Su Xing''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Damn, success coaching master... respect!" Even Su Xing could only curse in disbelief now. The degree of brainwashing by this master of swindling was truly out of this world. Directly transformed from Human Race traitors into fearless and iron-blooded soldiers? "Tsk tsk... but this should be the best end for those followers, right?" "Hopefully, the slaughter can lighten the sins on their shoulders..." Su Xing shook his head lightly, turning his gaze to the simulation panel. [In the eighth year, after relentless trial and error, you finally succeeded in developing the Rebirth Pill and minimized its side effects.] [In one year, you crafted a full ten thousand Rebirth Pills.] [More surprising was the fact that the production cost of the Rebirth Pills was extremely low, the Flesh Essence of a single Demon King could craft a hundred Rebirth Pills.] [And a hundred Rebirth Pills could help thirty Grandmasters to increase their strength by fifty percent!] [After increasing their strength, they would have a better chance of passing the advancement trials and becoming Heavenly King Level professionals!] [According to your calculations, there were over three thousand Grandmaster Level cultivators who took Rebirth Pills within a year.] [And after a year, the Great Xia Country actually had a thousand more Heavenly King Level professionals!] Chapter 269: Chapter 173: Survive and Return to the Land of Extremes! (Second Update) Su Xing was stunned by what he saw.This was not a thousand Grandmaster Level warriors, but a thousand Heavenly King Level warriors! The Dragon Spirit Pill and Origin Martial Pill that Su Xing had painstakingly developed before could only increase the number of Heavenly King Level warriors in the Great Xia Country by a few hundred. But he hadn''t expected that the Rebirth Pill would be so effective! The Rebirth Pill, purely aimed at strength-type warriors, helped them to increase their strength. Although it came with the side effect of reduced intelligence for a few months, they could recover in no more than a year. The efficiency of this strength improvement was astonishing! If Su Xing was willing to continue refining Rebirth Pills, it wouldn''t be a problem to increase the number of Heavenly King Level warriors by a thousand each year. "Moreover, this is only made from the Flesh Essence of Demon Kings..." "If we use the Flesh Essence of a Demon Emperor... I''m afraid that by then, the Rebirth Pill will be improving the strength of Heavenly King Level warriors!" "At that time... with an increase in strength, Heavenly King Level warriors will have a greater chance of advancing to Martial Emperor warriors!" A gleam of light flashed in Su Xing''s eyes as he murmured, "With more Martial Emperor Level warriors... will Legendary Level warriors remain few?" "If we really get dozens or even hundreds of Legendary warriors... in twenty years, perhaps we''ll be able to withstand the assault of those several hundred Legendary Demon Race attackers, right?" Su Xing felt somewhat joyous in his heart. If it were truly so, even if they couldn''t stop them, they could at least delay for several years. That meant, every simulation would give Su Xing many more years... By then, Su Xing would have even more time to cultivate and explore the secrets of this world. Thinking this, Su Xing felt somewhat excited. "The twenty-five-year deadline... Perhaps it can be broken soon!" Su Xing felt eager to try. After calming his emotions, Su Xing also began planning the objectives for his next simulation. Now, his Divine Skills, Protective Gang Qi, as well as his Origin Force cultivation, had all reached the Great Perfection level. It could be said that Su Xing had a seventy to eighty percent certainty in enduring the continuous power of lightning and stepping into the Broken Void Realm. And next, Su Xing only needed to safely live until the day of the behemoth''s arrival and be swallowed by it to complete his task. "In the next simulation, staying alive is the first priority, absolutely no risks must be taken with one''s life..." "Of course, these remaining ten-plus years can''t be wasted either, we can further explore the things that need to be done." After contemplating for a while, Su Xing decided to attempt two things with the remaining time. First, continue to develop the Rebirth Pill made from the Flesh Essence of a Demon Emperor. Although Su Xing couldn''t bring his alchemy experience out, he could see just how far the Rebirth Pill could improve the strength of the Human Race. Second, that is to cultivate the Divine Skills of escape techniquesSword Control Technique! After all, upon breaking the void, Su Xing''s Qi Refining Cultivation would also need to keep up and reach the Return to Void Realm. And for this, Su Xing needed to collect Spring Dew Pure Water. Therefore, a qualified escape technique Divine Skill was necessary... With a plan in mind, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the ninth year, you spend most of your energy on refining and improving the Rebirth Pill.] [This year you try adding the Flesh Essence of a Demon Emperor into the mix, and unsurprisingly, due to the pill''s too violent medicinal properties and too great side effects, you fail to create the pill.] [But you don''t lose heart and continue to improve the pill formula, increasing your comprehension of the Rebirth Pill through repeated attempts.] [That same year, you begin attempting to cultivate the escape technique Divine Skill, the Sword Control Technique.] [In the tenth year, after a year of effort, the side effects of the Rebirth Pill have been greatly reduced, but still not enough to be used on humans.] [You work hard to continue developing the improved Rebirth Pill, refining more than a dozen batches of elixirs every day.] [And this upgraded version of the Rebirth Pill, with the Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor as the main ingredient, when you run out of Flesh Essence, you go to the Demon-Subduing Pass to kill Demon Emperors and gather materials.] [Over the course of a year, you almost killed a hundred Demon Emperors... and made over a hundred changes to the formula of the Rebirth Pill.] [Amidst a life devoted to alchemy, three years pass in the blink of an eye...] [In the thirteenth year, this is the fifth year of your research on the upgraded Rebirth Pill.] [Over the past five years, you have revised your studies thousands of times and finally obtained an upgraded version of the Rebirth Pill with the lowest side effects!] [You take three months to refine a thousand upgraded Rebirth Pills and find three hundred Heavenly King Level warriors and ten Martial Emperor Level warriors to take them.] Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Even after several improvements, the side effects of this version of the Rebirth Pill are still not low.] [Because the Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor is even more violent, the Heavenly King Level warriors who took the Rebirth Pill showed various degrees of emotional disturbance, and some even developed bipolar disorder.] [Fortunately, you were prepared in advance, having arranged for a psychologist in advance, and admitted this group of three hundred Heavenly King Level warriors to the hospital collectively.] [Three hundred Heavenly King Level warriors staying in the hospital together, seeing a psychologist, was truly a rare sight.] [Compared to Heavenly King Level warriors, the Martial Emperor warriors had much less severe side effects after taking the upgraded Rebirth Pill and only occasionally experienced auditory and visual hallucinations...] [In the fourteenth year, after a year of treatment, this batch of Heavenly Kings and Martial Emperor Level warriors fully recover and are discharged from the hospital.] [After your examinations, comparisons, and data analysis, the professionals who took the pill all showed rapid increases in strength.] [The Heavenly King Level warriors who took the upgraded Rebirth Pill experienced an average strength increase of about forty percent!] [Each Heavenly King Level warrior took three Rebirth Pills, which is equivalent to an increase of two to three hundred thousand catties in strength per pill!] Chapter 270: Chapter 173: Survive and Return to the Land of Extremes! (Second Update)_2 [The total strength enhancement ranged between 700,000 to 900,000 catties! This was the result of a year''s consumption of elixirs...][However, after taking three pills, practitioners'' strength growth nearly halted, clearly indicating that the human body had developed a resistance to the medication.] [Compared to Heavenly King Level powerhouses, Martial Emperor Level powerhouses had much less of an increase in strength.] [Three elixirs, on average, could increase their strength by 300,000 to 500,000 catties...] [The overall strength enhancement of Martial Emperor Level powerhouses was less than ten percent.] [Even so, both you and the upper echelons of the Human Race were extremely satisfied with the efficacy of these drugs!] [Some experts even hailed this as a great creation that would change the history of the Human Race!] [And you, were regarded by all practitioners and common people as the savior of the Human Race.] [In the fifteenth year, you had no interest in these empty titles, you just wanted to understand just how much these elixirs could really enhance the strength of the Human Race.] [So, for the following period, you devoted all your energy to the alchemy of elixirs.] [Thus, two years quietly passed by.] [In the seventeenth year, day and night, you crafted 50,000 Rebirth Pills, as well as 10,000 upgraded Rebirth Pills over these two years.] [The main target audience for these elixirs were Grandmasters and Heavenly King Level practitioners.] [The 50,000 standard Rebirth Pills increased the strength of nearly 15,000 Grandmaster Level practitioners by almost fifty percent.] [After one year of healing, a total of 5,000 practitioners among these Grandmasters advanced to Heavenly King Level powerhouses!] [Suddenly, the number of Heavenly King Level powerhouses in Great Xia Country nearly quintupled!] [Compared to the standard Rebirth Pills, the upgraded Rebirth Pills had a much weaker effect...] [The main reason was that Great Xia Country did not have so many veteran Heavenly King Level practitioners...] [Because the Heavenly King Level practitioners who had advanced with the help of Rebirth Pills had only just met the Heavenly King standard, even if they then consumed the upgraded Rebirth Pills, it still wasn''t enough to break through to Martial Emperor Level.] [Therefore, only one thousand of the earliest veteran Heavenly King powerhouses had taken the Rebirth Pills.] [In the end, in the span of one year, nearly two hundred more Martial Emperor powerhouses emerged in Great Xia Country!] [In just one year, the number of Martial Emperor powerhouses in Great Xia also increased by more than threefold!] [While the numbers of the Human Race powerhouses skyrocketed, you also noticed an interesting phenomenon.] [Since a large number of powerhouses required a year of psychological therapy after taking the Rebirth Pills...] [Psychology had become the hottest field of study among commoners in recent years.] [Suddenly, psychology graduates had a wide range of job prospects, and countless ordinary people were clamoring to get into the field of psychology...] Su Xing''s expression became somewhat subtle upon seeing this. With a mix of surprise and a sense of peculiarity. "Indeed, the effects of the Rebirth Pills are no less than those of the Origin Martial Pill or the Divine Strength Pill!" "Though it has a ''trivial'' side effect, its advantages are huge since the main ingredient is abundantly available!" "This means we can mass-produce Heavenly King and Martial Emperor Level powerhouses!" Speaking of this, a hint of ambition flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. What he wanted was not just Martial Emperor Level powerhouses! Twenty-five years later, hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts descended upon Demon-Subduing Pass. What Su Xing wanted was the ability to mass-produce Legendary Level powerhouses, which could drive away those Demonic Beasts from Demon-Subduing Pass. And a key issue if Legendary Level powerhouses were to increase in number was... There needed to be more Martial Emperor Level powerhouses! Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, only if there was a larger base of Martial Emperor Level powerhouses could some of them successfully break through to Legendary! "Tsk tsk... Let''s not rush for Legendary Level powerhouses just yet, first let''s stabilize the mass production of Martial Emperor powerhouses..." Su Xing mused thoughtfully, his face barely able to suppress a smile. He hadn''t expected that his actions in this simulator would make psychology graduates the hottest employment group! "Speaking of which, I remember psychology used to be considered a pitfall..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, no longer dwelling on it, and turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [In the eighteenth year, with the appearance of an additional 5,000 Heavenly King Level and over two hundred Martial Emperor Level powerhouses within just two years, the strength of the Human Race saw a significant increase!] [Just when everyone thought you would lead the Human Race to glory... you stopped producing elixirs.] [For you, the purpose of testing the efficacy of the Rebirth Pills had been achieved... Next, you planned to focus your primary efforts on Sword Control Technique cultivation!] [After a few years of intermittent practice, although you had some understanding of the Sword Control Technique, you had not yet reached the entry level.] [So, you decided to concentrate and retreat to diligently practice the Sword Control Technique!] [In the nineteenth year, with a year of intense practice, on top of previous accumulations, you finally reached the entry level of the Sword Control Technique!] [You were now able to perform the rudimentary Sword Flight, and you could control the sword using your energy to decapitate an enemy hundreds of meters away.] [Although the distance for energy sword control was not long, you were quite satisfied, as you had only just begun to understand this Divine Skill.] [The most crucial thing... using energy to control the sword looked cool! Whether it was strong or not didn''t matter, only being cool was something for a lifetime!] [The above were your inner thoughts.] [Besides, you found that entry-level Sword Control Technique, alongside Sword Flight, only improved your speed by a mere twenty to thirty percent.] [But, crucially, it greatly saved on Spiritual Power!] [Originally, not knowing any evasion arts and wishing to fly, you could only rely purely on Spiritual Power to lift your body, slow and consuming a great deal of Spiritual Power!] Chapter 271: Chapter 173: Survive and Return to the Land of Extremes! (Second Update)_3 [But now that you''ve mastered Sword Flight, your spiritual power consumption for flight has been reduced to one-tenth of the original!][In a single day, traveling non-stop for ten to twenty thousand miles is no problem.] [Therefore, above the skies of Kyoto, citizens often look up to see a handsome figure in white clothes, flying on his sword.] Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this. For him, speed was a significant weakness. The main reason, besides the slowness of using pure spiritual power to lift his body and travel, was... This spiritual power consumption was also extremely severe; often after flying tens of thousands of miles, Su Xing would need to return to the Spirit Field Cave to replenish his spiritual power. But now, Sword Flight had perfectly solved this problem. "Tsk tsk, if only I had mastered Sword Flight earlier... the previous pursuit of the Damned Zong wouldn''t have been so strenuous, right?" That''s what Su Xing thought as his gaze fell upon the simulation panel. [In the twentieth year, after mastering the basics of Sword Control Technique, you continued to cultivate daily, hoping to break through this Divine Skill to the minor achievement level as soon as possible.] [In the twenty-first year, your Sword Control Technique has not yet achieved minor success, but your speed has increased significantly from before.] [Thus, you prepare to try and see if you can collect Spring Dew Pure Water with your current speed.] [On the day of Awakening spring, you came to a range of vast mountains.] [You, clad in white, fly high above with your sword, closing your eyes to wait for the first peal of spring thunder.] [Your Divine Sense covers the entire mountain range, just waiting for the raindrops to fall.] [Boom! Thunder rolls, and at that moment, you act...] [Because your Divine Sense hasn''t reached the Micro Realm, you can only sense five drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.] [Stepping on your flying sword, your figure shadows through the raindrops...] [A second later, you stop, extend your right hand, and gaze at your palm.] [Only in the center of your right palm, wrapped within a cluster of spiritual power, are three drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.] [Capturing three drops of Spring Dew Pure Water in less than half a second is currently your limit.] [These three drops of Spring Dew Pure Water are only enough to refine three Void Refinement Pills; the quantity is clearly insufficient.] [But you know, to further improve the efficiency of collecting Spring Dew Pure Water, you need to enhance both Divine Sense and your speed simultaneously.] [In the twenty-second year, after a year of arduous cultivation of Sword Control Technique, you are ready to continue trying to collect Spring Dew Pure Water.] [On the day of Awakening spring, as the first clap of spring thunder strikes, you act...] [Still in less than a second, but this time, you collected four drops of Spring Dew Pure Water, one more than before.] [You are pleased with your progress and thus return to continue the strenuous cultivation of Sword Control Technique.] [On the day of Awakening spring in the twenty-third year, you try again, and this time you collect five drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.] S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [On the day of Awakening spring in the twenty-fourth year, you make progress again, collecting six drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.] [In the twenty-fifth year, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass began to worsen, but because the strength of the Human Race was stronger than in any previous simulation, it still held on.] [You understand in your heart that before the arrival of the Demon Race''s legendary army, Demon-Subduing Pass will not fall.] [At the same time, you know this will be your last chance to collect Spring Dew Pure Water.] [With years of cultivation, you have become increasingly proficient in Sword Control Technique, just one step away from reaching the level of minor achievement.] [But time waits for no one, you decide to make one last attempt!] [So on the day of Awakening spring, you come once again to the familiar mountains.] [Divine Sense covering... thunder striking... the first raindrop sliding down...] [And in that instant, you too move...] [A second later, you slowly open your palm; within the wrappings of spiritual power, there are still six drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.] [You sigh, knowing that six drops of Spring Dew Pure Water are currently your limit. To collect more would likely require your Divine Sense to reach the Micro Realm and your Sword Control Technique to achieve minor success...] [You put all eighteen drops of Spring Dew Pure Water you''ve collected over the years into a jade bottle.] [In the following time, you spend every day with family and friends, fully enjoying your final moments.] [Before long, news comes that Demon-Subduing Pass has been breached...] [A few more months pass, and giant beasts descend into the real world, swallowing the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp!] [You don''t resist, as along with the entire landmass, you are swallowed into the belly of the beast.] [You watch helplessly as life after life vanishes before your eyes, silent and without words; you can''t save them.] [Being swallowed into the belly of the beast, at first there''s pitch darkness, an uncontrollable sense of weightlessness, and the world spinning around. [You activate your Origin Force armor and prop up your Protective Gang Qi, trying to maintain your stability and avoid being sucked into deeper areas.] [Even though it''s pitch black around you, for you, a Cultivator, night vision has long ceased to be an issue.] [You witness once more the collapse of the continental plate, the toppling of mountains thousands of feet high, turning to dust...] [You don''t know how long has passed, but gradually the original continent is digested beyond recognition; the once-towering mountains and forests have vanished...] [And then, you also see the scene where countless minor worlds around Blue Star collide after the world has collapsed.] [Two World Fragments slowly drift toward each other, finally colliding!] [Boom! A powerful spatial turbulence and space debris erupt, followed by the vanishing of both worlds'' fragments...] [Once the spatial turbulence dissipates, thunderclouds and the power of thunder and lightning start to appear.] [You seize the opportunity, dashing to the nearest small thunder zone.] [With your previous experience, you understand that you must break through your own limits using the power of thunder before all the World Fragments disappear...] [Only then can you achieve the Heavenly Thunder Physique and step into the realm of Breaking the Void!] Chapter 284: Chapter 178: Damned Zongs Storage Bag, A Treasure Trove! (Third release~) Su Xing saw this and couldn''t help but feel delighted."At last, the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique has reached Mahayana level!" "Damn, considering the talent bonus from ''The Great Wisdom in Foolishness'' plus a seven-day epiphany... it took me over a hundred years just to cultivate this secret technique to Mahayana level!" "The most crucial part is, this is only half of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique... the Human Luck chapter, which is the slightly easier second part!" Su Xing sighed in his heart, wondering how much time it would take to cultivate both the upper and lower chapters to Mahayana level, let alone to perfection. Five hundred years? Eight hundred years? Su Xing was almost afraid to imagine it. "So, the Mahayana-level Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique might be enough to shield myself from Damned Zong''s perception, right?" Su Xing was somewhat hopeful, guessing that Damned Zong might still be in the Immortal Martial Era Instance. "However, before killing Damned Zong, I must plan thoroughly..." "I must ensure a one-hit kill without giving him the slightest chance to react!" That''s what Su Xing thought as he directed his gaze towards the simulation panel. [You guess that Damned Zong must be hiding inside the Immortal Martial Era Instance right now.] [But you''re not in a hurry to act. Instead, you first disguise yourself and conceal your aura, then use the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique to shield your fate.] S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Afterward, you enter the Immortal Martial Era Instance.] [You spend several days searching in the Instance, eventually finding that he is still hiding within the Changchun Sect, disguised as an outer sect disciple.] [You follow suit, spending some money to join the Changchun Sect and become an outer sect disciple as well.] [Indeed, after shielding your own fate, Damned Zong completely fails to sense the danger.] [In the sect''s main square, you pretend to practice martial arts but gradually get closer to Damned Zong.] [When you are three meters away from Damned Zong, you suddenly strike!] [Origin Force wraps around your fists, the terrible power of a Broken Void Realm expert is fully displayed at this moment.] [A force equivalent to a million tons!] [As expected, Damned Zong doesn''t stand a chance to react and is immediately turned into a mist of blood by your punch.] [It seemed like he was attempting to flee through his Divine Soul departing his body, but you didn''t hesitate and eradicated his Divine Soul right there.] [At the spot where Damned Zong died, you pick up his storage pouch and leave with big strides amid the exclamations of the other Changchun Sect disciples.] [You return to your Spirit Field Cave and begin to inspect the contents of Damned Zong''s Storage Magical Artifact.] [Since Damned Zong''s Divine Soul is destroyed, the Divine Soul Mark on the storage pouch breaks on its own, allowing you to easily see the treasures inside.] Moved by what he saw, Su Xing silently commanded: "Activate immersive simulation feature, duration twenty-four hours!" [Ding, you''ve successfully activated the immersive simulation feature. Cost: 2.4 million simulation energy points. Remaining energy: 248.06 million points.] As the prompt from the simulator sounded, Su Xing''s vision blurred. The next second, a gray storage pouch appeared in Su Xing''s hands. "A storage pouch that hasn''t been destroyed... finally, it''s mine!" Overjoyed, Su Xing couldn''t wait to open the storage pouch and check its contents. Divine Sense probing into the storage pouch, Su Xing was instantly stunned. This was the largest storage artifact Su Xing had ever seen. He estimated that the space inside the storage pouch was at least 3,000 cubic meters! "Goodness, 3,000 cubic meters... such a Storage Magical Artifact must be considered a top-grade item in the Cultivation World, right?" Su Xing sighed. Keep in mind his current Storage Ring only had 100 cubic meters of storage space. And the top-tier merchant associations commonly used storage artifacts for transporting goods, which typically also had only about fifty cubic meters of space. Because the larger the space within the storage artifact, the more expensive it is! Of course, Su Xing had his portable Spirit Field, the interior space of which could no longer be described in cubic meters. Therefore, the storage artifact was secondary... What mattered most were the treasures inside! After sweeping his Divine Sense through it, Su Xing found a large stack of paper books. These were Damned Zong''s diaries, containing records of two thousand years worth of experiences, as extensive as a novel with hundreds of millions of words. Most of the diary content revolved around Damned Zong''s own experiences over the past one or two thousand years, comparable to an incredibly detailed autobiography. For Su Xing, these diaries were an important treasure to understand the Cultivation World. Of course, Su Xing only glanced over with his Divine Sense. He wouldn''t spend his precious time reading these diaries. Beside the diaries, there was a small stack of Jade Slips. After a careful examination, Su Xing found that there were over a hundred of them! The Jade Slips mostly contained records of various low-level cultivation secret techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and introductions to different Divine Arts. They covered everything from the basics of Alchemy, Dao of Arrays, Talisman, to Artifact Refining... Beyond that, a few Jade Slips contained records of more precious Divine Arts. "Blood Soul Art, Black Evil Palm... Soul Search Technique, Blood Burning Secret Technique... Divine Soul Method, Blood Sacrifice Compendium..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, murmuring: "Unfortunately, most of the Cultivation Techniques in these Jade Slips are extremely evil. Although they yield quick results in training... they are too malicious, with significant side effects, and not suitable for me..." Sighing, Su Xing found that there were still some good things in the Jade Slips that he could use. Puppet Array Techniques! Minor Divine Skill: Shrinking Earth into Inches! The complete version of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique! "Tsk tsk, just these few arts alone should be enough for me to train for quite a while, right?" "Especially this Minor Divine Skill: Shrinking Earth into Inches; it will be very useful to me!" "Although the Sword Control Technique is a fleeing art that encompasses Cultivation Technique and long-distance flight... it doesn''t cover short-distance teleportation... and this Shrinking Earth into Inches perfectly complements that!" Chapter 285: Chapter 178: The Rich Treasures in Damned Zongs Storage Bag! (Third Update~)_2 Su Xing felt a surge of joy in his heart, for among these jade slips were many that could make up for his deficiencies in the practice of magical techniques.Beyond the jade slips, Su Xing also saw eight puppets. Of these puppets, seven were at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection level! "Goodness, these seven puppets are almost equivalent to seven Heavenly King level powerhouses!" "Previously, that damned Zong had used these puppets in a combined attack technique. If the seven puppets coordinate well, they would be comparable to a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage!" Su Xing tried to control the puppets, but failed. The puppets had prohibitions left on them, and breaking through these would likely require some effort. Especially since Su Xing had yet to master the art of puppetry, controlling these puppets immediately seemed difficult. "However, this eighth puppet, I seem to have never seen it before..." Su Xing was curious; it was a female puppet with an extremely beautiful appearance, seemingly crafted directly from a living person. Moreover, this female puppet was dressed in an elegant skirt, making her look rather beautiful. Most peculiarly, this puppet only possessed the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, which rightfully should not have appeared in the collection of damned Zong. "Strange, what use could a Foundation Establishment Stage puppet have? Aside from looking pretty..." Saying this, Su Xing''s expression turned odd, recalling something he had read in damned Zong''s diary. "This female puppet couldn''t be the Flower Fairy that cuckolded old Zong, could it?" With that thought, a chill ran down Su Xing''s spine. He hadn''t expected that damned Zong would have such peculiar tastes; this puppet was likely not meant for battle, but... for something else. With this in mind, Su Xing''s gaze moved past the puppet and onto the other treasures. More than ten huge jade chests, each half the height of a person, were piled in the corner. Su Xing opened one of the chests and his face immediately burst into ecstatic delight. These chests were all filled with various precious spiritual medicines! Some were decades old, while others even had a lifespan of over a thousand years! Upon careful count, there were no fewer than three thousand strains of these diverse kinds of spiritual medicines! "Goodness... with this batch of spiritual medicines, I can try to concoct new elixirs!" Su Xing was thrilled; many of these elixirs were not even in the storerooms of the Descending Sect. Besides those, there were also bottles and pots placed in the jade chests, which seemed to be elixirs of some sort. But Su Xing didn''t know what these elixirs were for and dared not try them recklessly. When he had time later, Su Xing might identify each of them with his alchemy expertise. Su Xing continued his search within the storage magical artifact. Soon, he found the bone sword used by damned Zong, a magic artifact of medium quality that was truly extraordinary.

But with just one glance, Su Xing felt the deep resentment and karma entwined around the bone sword... It was evident that many innocent lives had been sacrificed during the creation of this magic artifact. Apart from that, there was a soul summoning banner and over a dozen more magic artifacts that Su Xing couldn''t name. Among them were the assassin magical tools used by damned Zong, such as the Five Thunder Balls, numbering in the hundreds. These Five Thunder Balls were extremely valuable and could even injure cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage. Each of the Five Thunder Balls was as precious as a superior magic artifact! "Tut-tut... damned Zong''s thousand-year collection really could rival a nation''s wealth!" Su Xing praised and then turned his attention to the last corner. In that final corner, a small pile of spirit stones lay quietly. When Su Xing''s divine sense swept over them, he then frowned slightly. "As a cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Stage, how come damned Zong only has a little over eight thousand spirit stones?" Su Xing was perplexed; while over eight thousand spirit stones were much more than what he owned, that amount, even for replenishing damned Zong''s daily spiritual energy deficit, could only last a few years. And since damned Zong had awakened from his long sleep, at least another century had passed. Why would there be so few spirit stones? Although it''s an era where the laws of cultivation are fading and spiritual energy is scarce, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator is basically a first-rate powerhouse in the Cultivation World. Apart from top-tier Cultivation Sects like the Wan Mu Sect, the Sect Master or Supreme Elders of average sects might also be cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage. Such powerhouses, in an era abundant with spiritual energy, having two or three hundred thousand spirit stones would be normal. Even in this era of decline, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator should have accumulated wealth, saving up a considerable fortune. Especially someone like damned Zong who enjoyed killing for treasure, he probably had even greater wealth than the average Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator at full maturity. "Something''s not right... there are too few spirit stones!" "Given damned Zong''s cautious character, after skulking around for thousands of years, it''s impossible for him to have only this few spirit stones..." "Could it be... damned Zong hid the spirit stones elsewhere?" Su Xing was puzzled, then started searching, but he couldn''t find any trace of the spirit stones. Suddenly, Su Xing had a flash of insight and muttered to himself: "Damned Zong loves writing diaries so much... could he have mentioned the hiding place inside his diaries?" Su Xing flipped through damned Zong''s diaries, starting from the most recent entries and working backward. Sure enough, after looking through a few, Su Xing found that damned Zong had hidden most of the spirit stones in a mountain called Five Elements Mountain ten years ago. "This Five Elements Mountain... where is it?" Still wondering, Su Xing continued to look through damned Zong''s diaries. For the next few hours, Su Xing perused one diary after another. Finally, Su Xing found records related to Five Elements Mountain, and even found a map interleaved in the pages of the diary. "In the year 2817 of the Xianwu calendar, while fleeing, I chanced upon a treasure map and decided to explore it..." "In the year 2818 of the Xianwu calendar, I found Five Elements Mountain, which was where the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect chose to slumber hundreds of years ago, he consumed the Yellow Springs Elixir, and his tomb might contain endless treasures..." Chapter 286: Chapter 178: Damned Zongs Storage Bag, a Treasure Trove! (Third Release~)_3 ```"In the year 2818 of the Xianwu Era, I longed to enter the Five Elements Mountain. Yet, my heart kept warning me of danger! Danger! Great danger! Thus, I refrained from entering. I shall wait until after my cultivation level has significantly improved before venturing into it..." Su Xing glanced at the Five Elements Mountain a few times. It seemed to be a place where, thousands of years ago, the experts and elders of the powerful sects in the Xianwu world had gone into slumber. "Could it be... that thousands of years ago, it wasn''t only True Person Wan Mu who fell into slumber? Did others from those sects also succumb to sleep?" Su Xing stroked his chin. He had not fully explored the Immortal Martial Era Instance; it still hid secrets unknown to him. "Thousands of years ago, there must have been more than one powerful sect... Perhaps there were other sects as well? Like this Five Elements Sect..." Su Xing decided that when he had time in the future, he would search for more historical data in the Immortal Martial Era Instance. After all, the cultivators who went to sleep thousands of years ago must have left behind quite a few treasures... Su Xing murmured as he looked at the map in his hand. "However, it might be worth a trip to the Five Elements Mountain. Even if I don''t explore it, I can at least get ahold of the spirit stones that Damned Zong left behind!" Su Xing then rummaged through Damned Zong''s diary and treasures in the storage bag but did not find any information of greater value. Soon, the immersive simulation time ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. After returning to the real world, Su Xing felt a sense of awe. "Damned Zong really did have a lot of treasures!" "What a pity that killing him in the simulation, even if I get his Storage Magical Artifact, requires energy to bring it out..." "But if I could kill Damned Zong in the real world... that would really be hitting the jackpot!" Thinking this, Su Xing wished he could face Damned Zong right now and take him down in an instant! Su Xing''s eyes gleamed as he stroked his chin. "However, there''s only one chance in the real world... So, before killing him, it''s best to simulate the scenario a few more times as a precaution!" After contemplating, Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the simulation panel. [After reading through Damned Zong''s diary, you quickly locate the Five Elements Mountain...] [After a month of searching, you finally discover the place where Damned Zong hid the spirit stones.] [Breaking through the Formation, you retrieve over seventy thousand spirit stones that Damned Zong had hidden away.] [At the same time, you also find the places in the Five Elements Mountain where powerful cultivators of the past had gone into slumber.] [As you approach the perimeter of the slumber Formation, you feel a slight stinging sensation in your brow.] [Knowing the potential dangers within, you prudently decide not to explore further.] [Leaving the Immortal Martial Era Instance, you return to the real world, continuing to rigorously practice your Sword Control Technique, hoping to reach the initial stage of mastery soon!] [In the nineteenth year, you practice Sword Control Technique for a year, feeling yourself coming closer and closer to initial mastery, perhaps on the verge of a breakthrough.] [In the twentieth year, while practicing Sword Control Technique one day, you suddenly have a new insight, which leads to a new understanding of the technique.] [Congratulations! Your insight into Sword Control Technique naturally progresses to the level of initial mastery!] [After reaching initial mastery in Sword Control Technique, your travel speed is greatly increased, allowing you to travel thirty thousand li in a day, and you can maintain the pace for several days without feeling tired.] [Your Flying Sword technique has also advanced to the point where, within the range of your Divine Sense, you can instantly take an enemy''s head from thousands of meters away!] [In the twenty-first year, on the day of Jingzhe, you attempt to collect Spring Dew Pure Water.] ``` Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [True to expectations, with the Divine Sense of the Entry Micro Realm combined with the minor accomplishment in Sword Control Technique, you easily collected ten complete drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.] [You felt quite satisfied with this achievement.] [But since there were still several years left until the simulation ended, you knew you couldn''t waste time and thus continued to rigorously cultivate the Sword Control Technique.] [In the monotonous life of cultivation, two years passed in the blink of an eye.] [In the twenty-third year, you decided to visit the Immortal Martial Era Instance once again, to explore the resting remains of True Person Wan Mu.] [You weren''t going to throw your life away, for according to your estimation,] [if you could directly kill the Living Dead Puppet, you would be able to break into the core of the ancient tomb; and as long as you didn''t touch the bronze stone coffin, it was likely that True Person Wan Mu wouldn''t easily awaken.] [After some hesitation, you set off for the Immortal Martial Era Instance.] [First, you spent half a month collecting three fragments of broken jade, then located the coordinates of that mountain.] [Breaking open the Formation boulders, you entered into the ancient tomb where True Person Wan Mu lay in rest.] [Afterwards, you passed through the narrow tunnel and quickly encountered the Living Dead Puppet.] [Without uttering a word, the Living Dead Puppet launched an attack on you.] [The Living Dead Puppet was ferocious, but you, having entered the Broken Void Realm, were not afraid of a mere puppet.] [You supported your Protective Gang Qi and engaged in a fierce battle with the Living Dead Puppet.] [Even though your Protective Gang Qi hadn''t been cultivated to perfection, with the enhancement of the Broken Void Realm, the Origin Force within your body was much thicker than before, and your Protective Gang Qi was even stronger and more reliable.] [Despite the Living Dead Puppet continuously bombarding your Protective Gang Qi, it merely trembled without showing signs of cracking.] [Seeing this, you channeled your Origin Force, wrapping it around your fists, and punched out!] [This punch, with a force of up to a million tons, directly caved in the chest of the Living Dead Puppet.] [Black liquid flowed from the seven orifices of the Living Dead Puppet, seemingly severely injured.] [But after all, the Living Dead Puppet had no consciousness and was merely a puppet.] [As large amounts of black liquid gushed out, it continuously flowed towards the wounds of the Living Dead Puppet for repair.] [Seeing this, you were surprised in your heart, as the Living Dead Puppet still had the power to fight.] [A great battle was about to erupt!] [After hundreds of rounds of fierce combat, the Formations in the ancient tomb trembled continuously, and you finally seized the opportunity to shatter the chest of the Living Dead Puppet with a punch.] [The Living Dead Puppet''s recovery had its limits, it struggled briefly but ultimately failed to rise again.] [You stowed the Living Dead Puppet into the storage ring and continued to explore the core area of the ancient tomb ruins.] Su Xing looked on with some amazement and exclaimed, "This Living Dead Puppet''s strength is probably not limited to the early stages of the Broken Void Realm... Could it be close to the mid-stage of the Broken Void Realm?" After a moment of surprise, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the simulation panel. [You walked through the narrow corridors of the ancient tomb, traveling more than ten li, feeling the surrounding Spiritual Energy gradually becoming abundant.] [After passing around a corner, you finally saw an invisible Formation, separating the interior and exterior of the ancient tomb ruins...] (Third update~ My brothers, save your monthly tickets for a surge at month''s end~) Chapter 287: Chapter 179: Spirit Stone Quality, Take Out the Reward! (5k) [You didn''t hesitate, coming before the formation''s barrier.][With a punch, fueled by the immense destructive power of your Origin Force, the formation''s barrier cracked like a spider web and eventually shattered, layer by layer...] [You entered the core area of the ancient tomb ruins, with dense Spiritual Energy assaulting your senses, hardly any weaker than that of your Spirit Field Cave.] [You saw the trapped white Spirit Vein Dragon, black mist entwined around its body.] [The Spirit Vein Dragon cried out to you in sorrow twice, but you suppressed the greed in your heart and didn''t lay eyes on the dragon.] [Your gaze turned towards the bronze stone coffin, and indeed, just as you expected, True Person Wan Mu was still slumbering within. If you didn''t awaken him, there would be no danger to his life.] [You carefully examined the entire core area of the ancient tomb ruins.] [The whole area was filled with abundant Spiritual Energy, and directly in front of you lay several acres of Spirit Fields.] [The fields were planted with all manner of precious Spiritual Medicines, each starting at two thousand years in age, sufficient to refine mid-grade, and even high-grade Elixirs!] [Within the fields, there were several Puppets tending to the crops, seemingly specialized for this task and lacking any aggression.] [Without hesitation, you began to greedily gather everything within reach.] [All the Spiritual Medicines, along with their roots and soil, were packed by you into the Spirit Field Cave.] [In no time, the Spirit Field at the core of the ancient tomb was left with nothing but barren land.] [As for the Puppet farmers, they stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.] [Following this, you started to collect the other treasures in the core area.] [You quickly discovered that in front of the Spirit Vein Dragon there was a Spirit Gathering Array, piled up like a small mountain with Spirit Stones!] [Delighted, you studied the array for a while, and then successfully entered the Spirit Gathering Array.] [Picking up a Spirit Stone, you examined it carefully and were surprised, for not only were there Low-grade Spirit Stones, but also a good amount of Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and even a few High-grade Spirit Stones!] [You looked at the trapped Spirit Vein Dragon not far away, pondering. These Spirit Stones were probably catalyzed by the dragon.] [After counting carefully, you found a total of one hundred and twenty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, five thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and three hundred High-grade Spirit Stones!] Seeing this, Su Xing couldn''t contain his joy. "To actually have as many as one hundred and twenty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones... and even Mid-grade and High-grade Spirit Stones!" "Damn it, I''ve never had more than a thousand spirit stones. If I get these spirit stones, won''t I be rich?" As you know, Low-grade Spirit Stones were the kind Su Xing had before, containing relatively impure Spiritual Energy that was difficult to absorb. A single Mid-grade Spirit Stone contained Spiritual Energy ten times that of a Low-grade Spirit Stone and was easier to absorb. And the Spiritual Energy in a High-grade Spirit Stone was ten times that of a Mid-grade one! "Calculated like this, that means there are effectively two hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones in this ancient tomb!" Su Xing rejoiced in his heart. With this batch of Spirit Stones, whether Su Xing would use them for the Spirit Rice project, cultivation, or even Artifact Refining in the future, they would be sufficient for all his needs! It could even help quicken Su Xing''s cultivation! "Equivalent to two hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones... that''s just two hundred million units of energy... I must get all these spirit stones in my hands!" Su Xing felt a surge of excitement. His gaze turned towards the simulator panel. [You packed all these Spirit Stones into the Spirit Field Cave.] [After scavenging all the Spirit Stones, you started to examine the rest of the ruins.] [Unfortunately, other than the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicines, there was only the trapped Spirit Vein Dragon and the large bronze stone coffin on the stone platform.] [Looking at the Spirit Vein Dragon before you, you felt a hint of greed; if you could free and claim the dragon for yourself, you would never lack Spiritual Energy again.] [But ultimately, reason prevailed over greed because you knew, if you disturbed the Spirit Vein Dragon, it could likely awaken True Person Wan Mu from his bronze stone coffin.] [After hesitating for a while, you left the core area of the ruins, preparing to return and leave the ancient tomb the way you came.] [Before leaving, the Spirit Vein Dragon let out a mournful cry to you...] Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After leaving the ancient tomb ruins, you quickly left the Immortal Martial Era Instance.] [You worried that after triggering the formation, True Person Wan Mu might awaken at any moment inside the ancient tomb.] [To avoid endangering yourself, you returned to the real world.] [Back in the real world, you continued to diligently practice your Sword Control Technique every day.] [You made some progress in mastering the Sword Control Technique, but breaking through to the Mahayana Level seemed far off.] [In the monotonous cultivation, two years quickly passed by...] [In the twenty-fifth year, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass started to deteriorate, with heavy casualties among the human strongholds.] [You knew that an army of Legendary Demon Beasts was about to descend upon Demon-Subduing Pass.] [After your breakthrough to the Broken Void Realm, you were eager to test your strength.] [Upon arriving at Demon-Subduing Pass, it wasn''t long before the Demon Race''s legendary army arrived.] [Hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts, several Emperor-Level members of the Demon Race... and countless Demonic Beast armies approached the city gates.] [In this battle, including ten Legends and one Great Emperor of the Human Race, all joined the fight, but in the end, they still failed to keep hold of Demon-Subduing Pass.] [Demon-Subduing Pass was completely overrun, yet you distinguished yourself in the battle.] [You alone fought against a Legendary-level Demonic Beast.] [The beast was nearly a thousand feet tall, its body as terrifying as a mountain.] [But at this moment, as a Cultivator in the Broken Void Realm, with Origin Force enhancement, a single punch possessed the power of a million tons!] Chapter 288: Chapter 179: Spirit Stone Grade, Take Away Rewards! (5k)_2 ```[You battled a Legendary Demon Beast for hundreds of rounds and didn''t fall the slightest bit behind.] [The Protective Gang Qi firmly shielded you, while an outer layer of Origin Force armor significantly boosted your defense, and the continuously emerging Origin Force within replenished your expended energy.] [The Legendary Demon Beast, massive as a mountain, was hardly injured by ordinary attacks.] [Its thick hide, coupled with layers of fat and muscle hundreds of meters thick, served as an excellent protective barrier.] [Even for cultivators in the middle stage of the Broken Void Realm, slaying a legendary beast of this size is an incredibly difficult task.] [And you, too, faced this troublesome challenge; with the power of the Broken Void Realm, if the enemy wasn''t so immense, you could easily injure or even seriously wound them.] [But against the Legendary Demon Beast, due to its unique size, it was almost immune to most blunt force trauma.] [Compared to brute strength against the vast frame of the Legendary Demon Beast, you found that using Origin Force in combination with the Ink Ice Sword proved more effective.] [With the boost from the Origin Force and your terrifying strength, you could easily slice off large chunks of flesh from the Legendary Demon Beast.] [Unfortunately, your swordsmanship was still at the Human Sword stage and couldn''t harness the power of heaven and earth to kill the legendary beast.] [After hundreds of rounds of combat, you sustained minor injuries, but the Legendary Demon Beast you fought suffered serious wounds, though its life was not in danger.] [Just when you were prepared to wear down the beast, the Human Emperor was ultimately slain!] [Under the assault of three Demon Emperors, the outnumbered Human Emperor perished in battle.] [And you were killed by the now free-handed Demon Emperor, your Divine Soul annihilated...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing took a deep breath. The benefits Su Xing gained from this simulation were not small. Whether it was the inheritance of Damned Zong or the exploration of ancient tombs and ruins, the benefits were sufficient to give Su Xing a qualitative leap in his foundation in a short period of time! "However, that Legendary Demon Beast really is tough!" "Although it''s only at the Legendary Level, its thick hide and huge size... Even cultivators in the late Legendary or late Broken Void stages would find it hard to slay easily..." Su Xing murmured. "To kill this legendary beast, it seems I must learn the Three Talents Sword Technique. If I can master the Earth Sword part, my power from the Cultivation Technique will surely increase dramatically, perhaps even allowing me to slay it?" Su Xing thought to himself. Then, he eagerly looked at the rewards from this simulation. [Talisman Expert]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 500,000 energy points. [Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique (Proficiency)]: Heaven Rank high-grade secret technique, created by a wandering Taoist, almost on par with Dao Arts, offering a glimpse into the true nature of the Fate Grand Dao, almost like a Dao Art, capable of divining good and bad luck, avoiding danger. For the training of the human part of the technique, has reached the entry level, only a fine line away from minor proficiency. Priced at 120 million simulation energy.

Su Xing scanned the simulation rewards and found that the simulation triggered dozens of reward options. Among them were most of the valuable items from Damned Zong''s Storage Magical Artifact. Those treasures and magical artifacts were useful, but not worth Su Xing using his precious exchange opportunities and simulation energy. The truly valuable rewards were the eight listed above. Su Xing began to analyze the rewards one by one. "Talisman Expert... This talent might be useful later, but there''s no rush..." "Once I get Damned Zong''s Storage Magical Artifact later, I can study the Dao of Arrays, Artifact Refining, talismans, and other sidelines..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, excluding the choice of talent first. Next was the Alchemy Experience, which Su Xing had no intention of choosing at the moment. "As for the Spirit Stones... Although I can afford the 280 million energy points at present... I haven''t yet broken through to the Return to Void Realm, so choosing Spirit Stones is also pointless for now." "As for the Spiritual Medicine... Damn, 5000 plants of 3000-year-old medicines, worth a whopping 500 billion energy points? That''s way too expensive!" Su Xing expressed that he couldn''t afford to exchange them. "As for the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique... I''ve already learned a more useful version, the human part of the technique, so I''m not in a hurry to exchange it..." "But with a total value of 500 million energy points, close to the level of Dao Arts... This technique indeed has an extraordinary origin!" Pausing, Su Xing''s gaze turned to Damned Zong''s diary. To his surprise, the whole stack of diaries only required 10,000 energy points. It was probably because, in the simulator''s assessment, it was just a diary of an evil cultivator, hence not very valuable. "Well... At the end of the day, the rewards to choose are still the Sword Control Technique and the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique!" Su Xing''s mouth curved slightly upward. With a minor proficiency level Sword Control Technique, collecting Spring Dew Pure Water wouldn''t be a problem, and thus he would be able to refine the Broken Void Pills sooner. And the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique was a prerequisite for Su Xing to quickly defeat Damned Zong, an essential choice! "I choose the Sword Control Technique and the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique!" Su Xing silently recited. ``` Chapter 289: Chapter 179: Spirit Stone Grade, Bring Out the Reward! (5k)_3 [You have successfully extracted the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique (Mahayana Level), costing 1.2 billion energy, remaining energy 128.06 million points.][You have successfully extracted the Sword Control Technique (Minor Accomplishment), costing 80 million energy, remaining energy 48.06 million points.] As the simulator''s prompt fell, Su Xing''s original energy of more than two hundred million suddenly dwindled to just under fifty million. However, it was all worth it! Two mysterious streams of energy entered Su Xing''s body. Immediately after, a flood of memories poured into Su Xing''s mind, insights into the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, as well as memories of the practice of the Sword Control Technique! Originally, Su Xing''s entry-level Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique was already considered half Immortal in the human world, a bona fide master of fortunetelling, geomancy, fate-changing, and divination. But now, with the influx of Mahayana-level memories, Su Xing''s understanding of destiny had already transcended the realm of ordinary humans. Su Xing''s gaze was focused, as he diligently digested the memories of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique in his mind. It was only after a long while that Su Xing slowly opened his eyes. In his eyes was a hint of incredulity. "Unbelievable... the concept of destiny is so exquisite, covering almost every aspect of the world, and even permeates a person''s entire life..." Su Xing''s expression was somewhat solemn. With his current divination skills, he could see through the destiny of ordinary people, even the trajectory of future developments, at a glancewithout needing to consume much cultivation level. Moreover, Su Xing could expend his own cultivation level to forcibly change the destiny of ordinary people! "Such means to change another''s destiny in the blink of an eye are... almost divine!" Su Xing marveled in his heart; his cultivation level had soared rapidly after over a year of practice, and now with this fortune-telling technique, he finally resembled an Immortal in the eyes of mortals. A thought occurred to Su Xing, and mysterious Spiritual Energy appeared above his eyes; he then took out a mirror and looked at his own head. This was the technique of Observing Aura! "Hmm... a deep green color, even with a hint of purple! Indeed... I may not be the Son of Destiny, but with a talent that shines among millions of people, my aura is second to none!" Su Xing was quite pleased with this. Aura and destiny are elusive concepts. But now Su Xing could see the color of ordinary people''s auras. Ordinary people have a transparent white aura. The slightly luckier ones have a light green aura. Someone who wins a top prize in a lottery will have a deep green aura. As for Su Xing, with a deep green mixed with purple, he was one blessed with great destiny! This was a change brought by Su Xing''s innate talent and favorable stars... "With my aura, I am almost unparalleled in the world of mortals... but if there is a higher, purple aura, who could possess it?" Su Xing pondered thoughtfully. "Perhaps, Liu Xiu, the great Mage from the history of my previous life who experienced a meteor shower, or the old Zhu, who started with only a bowl and conquered the world, could barely be considered to have purple auras?" Su Xing sighed lightly. In the history of the Human Race spanning thousands of years, whether in his previous life or on Blue Star today. Every thousand years or so, one or two Sons of Destiny would emerge. After thoroughly experiencing the profundity of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, Su Xing took out the Spirit Sword Mo Bing. Mo Bing in hand, it emitted a series of faint whistles. "After reaching minor accomplishment in the Sword Control Technique... I''m even more familiar and closer to the Spirit Sword now!" A slight smile curled up on Su Xing''s lips. With the minor accomplishment in the Sword Control Technique, it wasn''t an exaggeration to say that Su Xing could now travel thirty thousand li in one day, with minimal consumption of Spiritual Energy. Which meant, if he were to travel to Guang Province, over a distance of more than ten thousand kilometers, Su Xing would only need half a day to reach it. Su Xing stretched out his hand, stroking the Spirit Sword Mo Bing in his hand, his eyes flashing with admiration: "What a fine Sword of Mo Bing... In just a short period of being close to my body, soaked in Origin Force, it has already improved in quality again!" "I''m afraid, the quality of the Ink Ice Sword now is equivalent to that of an extremely legendary weapon, right?" Su Xing was somewhat delighted. Strictly speaking, after being nurtured by Su Xing''s Origin Force, the Ink Ice Sword had stepped out of the category of Magic Artifacts and become an Origin Artifact! An Origin Artifact is different from common magic treasures; it grows with Su Xing''s strength. After digesting the rewards obtained this time, Su Xing contemplated thoughtfully: "Now I only have less than fifty million energy left, even if I add the goods from next week, I''ll only have just over one hundred million energy..." "This energy is simply not enough!" Su Xing felt that he had to think of a way to generate more; otherwise, the breakthroughs for Return to Void and Broken Void Realm, and each level''s need for staggering amounts of energy were beyond his means. "This week, I''ll focus on alchemy for now... and if the energy isn''t enough after the next simulation, I''ll make a trip to that place..." Su Xing already had a vague plan in mind. Thus, for the following week, Su Xing was once again busy with alchemy and farming. A week later, Su Xing, with five thousand elixirs in tow, went to see Jin Congxue. Going through the familiar process of changing his appearance and concealing his presence, Su Xing arrived at the villa. Today, Jin Congxue was wearing a dark-colored long gown, but her complexion seemed somewhat pale. Su Xing entered the room, glanced at Jin Congxue, and activated his technique for Observing Aura. The aura above Jin Congxue''s head was deep green, just as Su Xing had expected; born into a notable family, with attractive looks and exceptional abilities, she was indeed someone guarded by a great destiny. But then Su Xing''s gaze sharpened slightly, as he noticed a faint trace of blood-red within the deep green over Jin Congxue''s head. Blood-red signified an impending disaster of blood and strife! The red above Jin Congxue''s head was light, meaning it wouldn''t be fatal. Even so, Su Xing spoke to Jin Congxue with grave seriousness: "Sister Xue, it seems you have an impending disaster of blood and strife coming up!" A disaster of blood and strife? Jin Congxue looked puzzled at first, then seemed to realize something. Her pretty face blushed, and she rolled her eyes charmingly and said, "You lecher!"

(5k) [In the core area, a large amount of dense Spiritual Energy rushed towards his face, and countless Spiritual Medicines grew within the Spirit Fields.][However, with your current level of alchemy, you were still unable to refine these medicines.] [So, you bypassed those Spirit Fields and removed all the Spirit Stones from the Spirit Gathering Array.] [You didn''t disturb True Person Wan Mu in the bronze sarcophagus; before leaving, you looked back longingly at the Spirit Vein Dragon.] [After leaving the ancient tomb, you took out Damned Zong''s diary and found the location of Five Elements Mountain.] [Before the Formation of the Five Elements Mountain ruins, your brow felt a slight pain.] [This indicated that if you were to step into the ruins of Five Elements Mountain, you would be in mortal danger.] [Out of caution, you decided to temporarily put aside the exploration of the Five Elements Mountain ruins and continued to collect more Spring Dew Pure Water.] [In the twentieth year, you returned to the real world and continued to amass Spring Dew Pure Water.] [That year, you accumulated a total of one hundred ninety drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.] [Afterward, you collected Spring Dew Pure Water yearly on the day of Awakening Insects, while also practicing diligently.] [In a blink of an eye, another four years passed.] [In the twenty-fourth year, after the day of Awakening Insects, you had gathered two hundred thirty drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.] [Although you had enhanced the practice of the Li Fire Technique, you found that there was still quite a distance to achieve its Great Perfection.] [The biggest issue was that your current Spiritual Power was insufficient to let the Li Fire Technique burst forth with the utmost high temperature.] [Perhaps after reaching the Return to Void Realm and having a surge in Cultivation Level, you could better activate the Li Fire Technique.] [In the twenty-fifth year, hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts broke through Demon-Subduing Pass, and many Human Race warriors died in battle.] [A small number of Human Race warriors fled back to the real world, preparing for their last stand.] [And you, after collecting that year''s Spring Dew Pure Water, decided to explore the Immortal Martial Era Instance once again.] [You arrived at Five Elements Mountain, shattered the Formation of the ruins, and entered the ancient tomb.] [Based on the information you had, the cultivator sleeping in this tomb was a powerful member of the Five Elements Sect from thousands of years ago.] Su Xing felt a slight anticipation upon reading this. "Within the Wan Mu Sect ruins lies True Person Wan Mu..." "Could there also be a cultivator of the Body Integration Realm sleeping within the Five Elements Sect ruins?" Thinking this, a faint nervousness and excitement stirred in Su Xing''s heart. After all, within the Wan Mu Sect ruins, there were plenty of treasures: Spiritual Medicines, Spirit Stones... even a fully formed Spirit Vein Dragon! If the Five Elements Sect ruins also contained these things, then Su Xing would make a fortune! "Tsk tsk, once I reach the Integration Phase, I''ll definitely open up your ancient coffins!" Initially, Su Xing had some good impressions of these powerful cultivators, but after knowing about True Person Wan Mu''s actions, he immediately lost all favorable feelings. With these thoughts in mind, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [The Formation of the Five Elements Sect was more robust than you imagined, but you still managed to break it and entered the interior of the ancient tomb.] [Passing through the narrow tomb passage, the path ahead gradually widened, and you immediately became vigilant, activating your Origin Force armor and Protective Gang Qi.] [After walking a few more miles, suddenly a dark shadow flashed before your eyes.] [An astonishing force hit your Protective Gang Qi, shattering it instantly.] [Even with the buffer of Protective Gang Qi, you were still struck against the ancient tomb''s stone wall, your chest aching with pain.] [You were greatly shocked, but at the same time, you saw the appearance of the person before you.] [It was a Living Dead Puppet!] [However, this Living Dead Puppet was much stronger than those in the Wan Mu ruins.] [In life, this entity was at least in the late stages of the Broken Void Realm, even close to the Great Perfection!] [You observed this Living Dead Puppet carefully and noticed that its hair and beard were all white, its eyebrows also white, resembling the White-Eyebrow Priest from a certain movie.] [But its current state was extremely pitiful: disheveled white hair, a pale face, and a body bearing endless resentment!] [Seeing the Living Dead Puppet about to attack again, you instinctively raised your Protective Gang Qi once more and dashed towards the core area of the ruins.] [Fortunately, your escaping speed had increased significantly, and since the Living Dead Puppet seemed to have a disability in its legs, it couldn''t catch up immediately.] [With full speed, you desperately ran forward, reaching the core area of the Five Elements Mountain ancient tomb in just a few breaths.] [Strangely, the core area of this ancient tomb seemed to have no Formation...] [No, it seemed there once had been a Formation, but it had been violently destroyed!] [While fleeing for your life, you were filled with doubt: Did Damned Zong once come here?] [But you quickly denied that thought. According to Damned Zong''s diary, he never dared set foot in this part of the Five Elements Sect ruins.] [Quickly stepping into the core area, you took notice of a huge bronze sarcophagus.] [Similar in appearance to the one in the Wan Mu ruins, but instead of a vast forest, this sarcophagus bore images of the Five Elements...] [What puzzled you even more was that the bronze sarcophagus was already open, and the cultivator who should have been sleeping inside was nowhere to be found.] [An idea immediately surfaced in your mind: the Living Dead Puppet chasing you was the cultivator who should have been resting inside the sarcophagus!] [For some unknown reason, the cultivator who should have been in slumber had awakened prematurely and turned into this form of a Living Dead Puppet.] S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[You only saw a few corpses that were as smooth and translucent as jade.] [To your disappointment, there was no trace of Spirit Vein Dragons in these ruins.] [However, you did discover quite a few Spirit Stones in a corner.] [At this moment, the living dead behind you were once again in hot pursuit.] [Gritting your teeth, you once again raised your Protective Gang Qi and ran straight for the Spirit Stones.] [You quickly gathered the Spirit Stones into your Storage Magical Artifact, but by then the living dead had already renewed their assault.] [This time, their attack was even more ferocious!] [Fortunately, with the protection of the Protective Gang Qi, you were not killed on the spot, suffering only grievous injuries that left you in a pitiful state.] [A thought crossed your mind, preparing to flee into the Spirit Field Cave for temporary refuge from the attacks of the living dead puppets.] [However, within the ancient tomb of the ruins, it seemed there was a spatial formation that slowed your entry into the Spirit Field Cave by one second.] [And that one second was fatal!] [Your body was battered and torn under the relentless attack of the living dead.] [Forced to leave your body with your divine soul, you hoped to escape this calamity.] [But the living dead gave you no opportunity, they annihilated your divine soul outright.] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned tightly, seemingly deep in thought. "Why is the relic of the Five Elements Sect different from that of the Wan Mu Sect... why is there no trace of a Spirit Vein Dragon?" "And why... is True Person Wan Mu still asleep, but that Broken Void Realm Great Perfection cultivator from the Five Elements Sect has awoken early?" Su Xing seemed to have captured some critical information, but couldn''t connect it all right away. "Wait... True Person Wan Mu intercepts the spirit veins beneath the heavens, gathers the Spirit Vein Dragon, cultivating himself..." "Could it be that other sects are completely unaware of this!" "It''s also because the Spirit Veins were cut off that the Spiritual Energy rapidly depleted over the centuries..." "As for that Five Elements Sect cultivator turning into a living dead... It''s probably related to True Person Wan Mu too!" Su Xing seemed to have caught the key information. "Thus, the towering resentment of that living dead... also makes sense now..." "Perhaps someone discovered True Person Wan Mu''s plan, which is why a melee erupted in the relics of the Wan Mu Sect, and why there are Living Dead Puppets in the relics?" Su Xing was contemplative, feeling that following this line of thought should put him on the right track. "However, as for the specifics... I still need to look into the Immortal Martial Era Instance to consult historical texts and search further..." Su Xing sighed; after a few thousand years, those historical texts must be hard to find. However, there might still be some traces in the three major sects of the current Immortal Martial Era Instance. Su Xing planned to explore when he had the time, as these pieces of information might be helpful for his exploration of the relics and ancient tombs. "Nevertheless, the purpose of this simulation has been achieved!" "Spring Dew Pure Water, Spirit Stones... With these, my cultivation in the Return to Void Realm should proceed much smoother!" With this thought in mind, Su Xing turned his attention towards the rewards of this simulation. [I am not a Rain God]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including the comprehension of Rebirth Pills (Medium Perfection, High-grade entry) priced at 7 million energy points. [220,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, 5,000 Medium-grade Spirit Stones, 300 High-grade Spirit Stones]: priced at 300 million energy points. [240 drops of Spring Dew Pure Water]: The first thread of rootless water to fall on the day of Awakening Insects, containing mysterious power, can be used in crafting Void Refinement Pills, a total of 240 drops, priced at 24 million energy points. [Damned Zong''s Diary]: priced at 10,000 energy points. [Ores containing Third and Fourth Rank Special Metals, 1000 cubic meters]: valued at 150 billion energy points, its value halved due to a large number of impurities. Su Xing looked at the rewards of this simulation without much hesitation. After all, the purpose of this simulation was to obtain Spring Dew Pure Water and Spirit Stone resources for his breakthrough into the Return to Void Realm later on. But the problem was, Su Xing''s simulation energy was insufficient! His current simulation energy was at most 147.56 million points, yet taking out the Spirit Stones and Spring Dew Pure Water required 324 million energy points. Su Xing turned his gaze to the last reward option, his face showing some surprise. "The Third and Fourth Rank Special Metals in that Scarlet Hell Abyss, are they really worth a total of 150 billion energy points?" "Wait... after the simulator takes a tenfold mark-up... it should be 15 billion simulation energy points!" Seeing such a huge amount of energy, Su Xing''s heart nearly leaped out of his chest. 15 billion energy points, that would be enough for his cultivation to reach the Broken Void Realm and even Great Perfection in the Return to Void Realm! "But... what''s with the halving of its value?" Su Xing was somewhat puzzled. And for once, the simulator provided Su Xing with an answer. [Ding, as the proportion of the special metal contained in the ore is 3.7 percent, it is considered a secondary energy material... If purified, its value can reach 30 billion energy points.] Su Xing immediately understood the simulator''s meaning. "So, if I directly absorb it, the value is 15 billion energy points... If purified before absorption, the value is 30 billion energy points, right?" Su Xing was somewhat excited; whether it was 15 billion or 30 billion, it was a huge sum for him! "In that case, I should head to the Scarlet Hell Abyss instance first!" Su Xing muttered to himself. Before, he had used the immersive simulation feature to fully simulate the scenario of going to the Scarlet Hell Abyss. Now going there again in the real world should be foolproof! Chapter 298: Chapter 182: Exotic Metal Ore Worth Three Billion Energy! (5k)_3 With that thought, Su Xing glanced at the sky and began to disguise himself and conceal his presence.As the sky darkened slightly, Su Xing left the Kyoto Academy and ran out of Kyoto City. After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, Su Xing executed the Heavenly Secrets Shielding Technique and took to Sword Flight, rushing towards Ma Yi City in the Northwestern Province. Soon, Su Xing arrived near the location of the Red Lotus Demon Cave instance he remembered. Approaching, Su Xing indeed found a fully armed professional army lingering outside the instance of the Red Lotus Demon Cave. As a taboo-level instance, the Red Lotus Demon Cave was naturally under strict control. The professional army was there not only to prevent monsters from escaping the instance but also to prevent people from accidentally wandering in. However, the strength of these professional soldiers was only around the Master or Grandmaster Level; they did not dare get too close to the entrance of the instance. For Su Xing, a slight application of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique to shield his presence from them was enough to successfully blend into the Red Lotus Demon Cave instance. To the current Su Xing, these Grandmaster Level professionals were no different from ordinary people. Stepping into the Red Lotus Demon Cave instance, Su Xing quickly entered a strange environment. Clearly, this was no longer Blue Star. "Hmm... the temperature around here has risen quite a bit, with a perceived temperature of about fifty to sixty degrees Celsius..." Su Xing nodded slightly, but such a temperature felt like normal room temperature to him. Even though Su Xing''s strength was now comparable to that of legendary fighters, out of caution, he still put up his Protective Gang Qi and triggered his Origin Force armor. After some exploration, Su Xing came upon a nearly vertical descent into an abyss which allowed for only one person to pass at a time. "Here, this should be the passage that leads to the core area of the instance..." Without hesitation, Su Xing directly flew into the cavern. Due to the narrow structure of the cavern, he couldn''t achieve his maximum speed. As a result, Su Xing took several hours to reach the thousands of miles deep Flame Demon area. At this moment, the surrounding temperature had soared to three to four thousand degrees Celsius, a level at which only those above the Heavenly King Level could survive. With his Divine Sense, Su Xing quickly detected the Flame Demon he had encountered in the simulations. There was no dallying. Origin Force coiled around his arm, and he threw a punch! In just an instant, the life force of the Flame Demon rapidly diminished. A Martial Emperor peak Flame Demon couldn''t withstand even a single move from Su Xing! "This is the benefit of steady development!" "No matter what level the enemy is... once I''m fully grown, I''ll cut you all down from your horses!" Su Xing''s lips curved upward ever so slightly as he continued to explore deeper into the nest of the Flame Demon. Before long, Su Xing found an even deeper cave leading to the magma layer. "Down there, that should be the region where the Special Metal ores are located..." Su Xing explored further into the depths of the cave, and soon he saw a magma pool. By now, the temperature had reached over five thousand degrees Celsius. Luckily, Su Xing had his Protective Gang Qi to isolate the inside from the outside, so his body was unaffected. Thus, Su Xing''s gaze passed over the magma pool, looking towards the ore region beside it. Indeed, within the uneven rocks, there mixed in plenty of reddish special metal. "Indeed, Special Metal ores!" "So... it''s time to get to work!" Su Xing took a deep breath and pulled out his Spirit Sword Mo Bing. Under the nourishment of Origin Force, the Ink Ice Sword had become even sharper and more durable. Su Xing''s heart moved, and he wrapped Origin Force around the Ink Ice Sword. Then he chopped at the metallic rock layers that were mixed with special metals. Under the action of Origin Force, these uneven rocks were cut as easily as tofu, leaving smooth and flat surfaces. Su Xing, a bit obsessive-compulsive, cut every piece of ore into one cubic meter blocks. Immediately after, Su Xing spent the entire night mining relentlessly. Until, by noon the next day, the last of the special metal ore had been excavated by Su Xing. Only then did he feel satisfied and prepared to leave. "A thousand cubic meters of ore containing special metal is now in my hands... These ores are worth at least 1.5 billion energy!" "As for whether to refine them or to absorb them directly, I''ll consider it later... It''s not safe to stay here for long, better leave first!" So, it took Su Xing several more hours to leave the Red Lotus Demon Cavern instance. Traveling by Sword Flight, he did not return to his dormitory until the evening. Decisively entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn''t help his heart thumping wildly. "Goodness, this is special metal worth a full 1.5 billion energy!" Su Xing looked at the mountainous pile of special metal before him and began to ponder. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If absorbed directly, it''s only worth 1.5 billion energy..." "But if refined, it could be worth 3 billion energy!" "However, I expect that refining this special metal will be very time-consuming... I just don''t know how much time it will actually take?" Su Xing hesitated for a bit before making a call to Jin Congxue. "Hey, busy person, how do you have time to call me?" Jin Congxue''s voice came from the other end of the line. Su Xing chuckled and said, "Cough cough... I have some things to ask you. Those special metals, they need to be refined and purified, right?" Jin Congxue''s affirmative reply came through the phone: "Isn''t that obvious? You''re the big boss who''s contracted six mining instance areas, after all! Don''t you even know this much?" "Mining is tough, but refining also takes time. The special metal you get each week probably needs to be refined four to seven days in advance..." "Of course, the higher the grade of the special metal, the more time it needs for refining and purifying." Hearing this, Su Xing showed an ''as expected'' expression and then inquired: "Sister Xue, if it''s a thousand cubic meters of ore containing third and fourth-rank special metals, with a purity of around 3.7%... how long would it take to refine and purify?" Jin Congxue was not expecting Su Xing to ask such a detailed question so seriously. After pondering for a moment, she said: "Based on your description... I estimate that purifying this batch of ore will take about a month... " Upon hearing this, Su Xing''s eyes brightened; a month''s time to purify special metals worth 1.5 billion energy could yield a direct 3 billion! Hisss~ That''s quite the profit! "However, there''s a problem... If I refine it all, then I won''t have any model energy for practice..." After some hesitation, Su Xing decided to absorb one-third of the special metals first, equivalent to five hundred million model energy. The rest would be handed over to Jin Congxue for refining. "The remaining six hundred plus cubic meters should take about three weeks to refine... Then the 1 billion energy would directly turn into 2 billion!" Chapter 299: Chapter 183: Overnight Fortune, Raking in 300,000 Spirit Stones! (5k) ```One billion turned into two billion, even Buffett hasn''t made that kind of return, has he!? Thinking of this, Su Xing felt somewhat excited. "But if I could refine all of them and convert them into simulation energy, that would be best... I just don''t know if there will be enough time?" After all, Su Xing was still waiting to exchange the simulation rewards... So Su Xing asked Jin Congxue if she was available. But Jin Congxue said she was not in Kyoto at the moment and that it might take a few days for them to meet. Hearing this, Su Xing pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "If we wait a few more days, there might not be enough time, and we could miss the chance to choose simulation rewards..." "It seems I''ll have to absorb a batch of exotic metal ores first..." Thus, Su Xing scheduled a time with Jin Congxue, preparing to give her the exotic metal ores worth 10 billion energy for purification and refinement. Meanwhile, Su Xing prepared to absorb one-third of the exotic metal ores in front of him into simulation energy for use in the coming period. The simulator humanely selected one-third of the energy material. [Ding, detected an energy-containing material worth 5 billion energy, do you wish to absorb it?] "Yes!" Su Xing silently declared. Soon, one-third of the pile of exotic metal ores vanished before him, and Su Xing packed up the remaining exotic metal ores to save for Jin Congxue''s use. "Skipping the refinement process, although it will mean half the energy, can save a lot of time!" "Perhaps, I should try going to the Tarot Society''s mine instance in the future and attempt to directly absorb the unprocessed exotic metal ores... maybe I''ll get even more simulation energy!" Su Xing contemplated. Afterward, with the newfound abundance of simulation energy, Su Xing was ready to choose the rewards he had earned in the previous simulation. "I choose to take out the Spirit Stones and the Spring Dew Pure Water..." As his words ended, the simulator beeped in his ear. [You have successfully brought out 220,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, 5,000 Medium-grade Spirit Stones, 300 High-grade Spirit Stones, spending 3 billion energy, remaining energy is 347.56 million points.] [You have successfully brought out 240 drops of Spring Dew Pure Water, spending 24 million energy, remaining energy is 323.56 million points.] When the simulator''s tone ended, Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured: "Still over 300 million energy left... should be enough for the next two weeks of simulation!" Immediately, a large pile of Spirit Stones appeared on the open ground in front of the thatched cottage. The Spirit Stones were of varying sizes, and next to them, there was a small jade bottle. Su Xing hurriedly picked up the jade bottle and nodded: "Not bad, Spring Dew Pure Water... with this thing, I''ll be able to concoct Void Refinement Pills later!" After stowing away the jade bottle, Su Xing looked at the small mountain of Spirit Stones piled before his eyes, his gaze shining! A good 220,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, several thousands of Medium-grade Spirit Stones, and hundreds of High-grade Spirit Stones! "Combined, that''s worth over 300,000 Spirit Stones!" "Damn, I''ve scrimped and saved up till now and have less than a thousand Spirit Stones... Now the amount has increased by more than three hundredfold!" Looking at the Spirit Stones before him, Su Xing suddenly felt like laughing foolishly. "With so many Spirit Stones... the practice for reaching the Return to Void Realm shouldn''t be a problem, should it?" Su Xing felt some anticipation. As it''s known, the path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult, and for cultivators in the Return to Void Realm, it''s completely normal to spend decades in seclusion just to break through a minor boundary. If Su Xing had enough resources, he could shorten this time by several times, even up to tenfold! Su Xing carefully stowed away the Spirit Stones he couldn''t bring himself to spend even one. Using them during the simulation was the real deal! "Phew... Next, I still have to work hard for the breakthrough to the Return to Void Realm!" "And I need to continue Alchemy!" Su Xing muttered, although by now he could be considered a small tycoon in the Cultivation World. But he still maintained a calm heart... diligently farming, developing steadfastly and securely! Thus, in the next six days, Su Xing spent his time Alchemy, farming, and collecting Spiritual Liquid. During this time, Su Xing took some time to meet Jin Congxue and gave her the 600-plus cubic meters of exotic metal ores. This gave Jin Congxue quite a shock. sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. You must understand these were no common first or second-tier exotic metals found in the market. These were high-level exotic metals of the third and fourth tiers! Though Jin Congxue didn''t know how Su Xing got them, she still kept his secret. She even released information to the outside, claiming to purchase high-tier exotic metal ores and fabricated some orders. Thus, the source of Su Xing''s exotic metal ores became legitimate. Su Xing just had to wait for two to three weeks. Once the exotic metals were refined and purified, he would have a full 20 billion energy! "Tsk tsk... 20 billion energy!" "What to do next? It''s time to plan for reaching the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm..." "And learn a few more spells, to improve my combat abilities..." Su Xing was already imagining how he would use the future simulation energy. After concocting the pills for the new week, Su Xing headed to the villa. Jin Congxue was not around this week; to ensure the safety of the exotic metal ores, she personally went to monitor the instance. So Su Xing picked up the goods, laid down the Elixirs, and then returned to the dorm to enter the Spirit Field Blessed Land. Converting the week''s goods into simulation energy, Su Xing''s energy instantly topped 4 billion, making him a bona fide tycoon. On the afternoon of September 16, 2024, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time. But before the simulation, Su Xing opened up the talent lottery system, intending to draw out the "Master of Success" talent. ``` Chapter 300: Chapter 183: Overnight Fortune, Raking in 300,000 Spirit Stones! (5k)_2 Su Xing''s heart moved, and he opened the Talent Lottery Pool feature.A retro slot machine appeared in front of Su Xing. [Ding, welcome to use the Talent Lottery Pool of the simulator. Please select the quality of the talent you wish to draw. White Talent one hundred points of energy... Purple Talent one hundred thousand points of energy.] Su Xing''s target was the Purple Talent "Master of Success," and naturally, he chose Purple Talent. "I choose the Purple Talent pool!" As Su Xing''s voice fell, some purple balls appeared in the slot machine in front of him. The purple balls had some characters engraved on them. Master of Talisman, Master of Dao of Arrays, Cold-faced Emperor, I am Passerby A... There were a dozen or so purple spheres, all talents that Su Xing had experienced before but had not taken with him. [Please pay one hundred thousand points of energy for a random draw...] The simulator''s prompt tone rang in his ear, Su Xing''s heart moved, and he paid one hundred thousand points of energy. "Tch, just one hundred thousand points of energy, who do you think you''re looking down on?" "Damn it, I''ve got several hundred million, with just these dozen balls, how could they stump me?" Su Xing snorted coldly and silently commanded: "Pay!" As Su Xing''s words fell, the transparent slot machine interface began to shake continuously. Su Xing watched the talent marked "Master of Success" tumble, nearly being drawn several times. But ultimately it "slipped through his fingers"... Under Su Xing''s watchful eyes, a purple ball marked "I am Passerby A" slowly rolled out. "Fuck..." Su Xing almost let out a curse as the simulator''s prompt sounded in his ear. [Ding, you have drawn the Purple Talent I am Passerby A. Do you choose this talent?] Su Xing was so frustrated he couldn''t even bring himself to hit anything, mumbling: "No, no, no! Give me another draw!" Thus, Su Xing began his relentless lottery moment. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the Purple Talent Master of Talisman...] [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the Purple Talent Cold-faced Emperor...] [Ding...] After more than thirty consecutive draws, Su Xing''s eyes began to bloodshot, his consciousness even starting to blur. "No... this is impossible? There are only a dozen talents... I''ve drawn more than thirty times, why can''t I get it!" Su Xing began to doubt life itself, and he was reminded of the fear of being subjected to the whims of lottery odds by a certain Goose Firm''s games in a past life. But the talent of Master of Success was too significant; Su Xing had reasons he had to draw it out. "Draw! Keep drawing for me!" Su Xing, like a player addicted to drawing SSRs, said through gritted teeth. In this way, Su Xing drew twenty more times and finally heard that delightful prompt tone. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent Master of Success, do you choose this?] "Continue... wait, that''s the one!" Su Xing, almost numb from drawing, had gone through over sixty draws before finally getting the talent he wanted out of a dozen talent spheres. The odds were truly unprecedented. "Six million plus points of simulation energy... Not much for me, but the key is, damn, this lottery really messes with your mental state!" Su Xing complained somewhat angrily. Seeing the desired talent in front of him, Su Xing felt somewhat relieved and said. "Start the simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 5300 points of energy, leaving a balance of 317.06 million points of energy, remaining simulation attempts unlimited.] [Detection of your chosen talent "Master of Success," the simulation officially begins!] Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are simulating.] [You have stayed in Kyoto for three weeks, during which time you received the refined exotic metals sent to you by Jin Congxue.] [Three weeks later, you head to Shuangqing City, ready to kill the damned Zong!] [You disguise yourself and conceal your aura, blocking your own fate, then release your Divine Sense, hoping to lure out the damned Zong.] [Sure enough, the damned Zong is quickly attracted by you.] Su Xing slightly nodded and said: "Good, then I''ll kill the damned Zong once more as a practice run!" "Use the immersive simulation feature for one hour." [You have successfully used the immersive simulation feature, spending 100,000 points of energy, leaving a balance of 316.96 million points of energy.] As the prompt tone ended, Su Xing''s vision changed, and he appeared in an unfamiliar environment. "Senior!" In front of Su Xing, came the voice of the damned Zong, sounding very respectful. Seeing this, the corners of Su Xing''s mouth slightly lifted. In the next second, a force of a million tons poured out, directly blasting the damned Zong into residue. The damned Zong didn''t even have time to react before he was obliterated. Afterward, the damned Zong''s Divine Soul left his body; Su Xing did not hesitate and crushed it immediately. Su Xing seemed to see the damned Zong''s incredulity before death. He then showed a trace of loneliness and muttered: "You seem puzzled as to why I''m so proficient?" "Nothing else... simply practice makes perfect!" Su Xing picked up the damned Zong''s storage bag, killing him had just been a matter of convenience this time. Next was Su Xing''s real purpose for this trip. He attempted to see if his Master of Success could gain the trust of Luo Shuying without exposing himself. Su Xing''s Divine Sense enveloped the surroundings, and he faintly noticed someone observing him. But Su Xing did not reveal himself and directly flew away on his sword. In Su Xing''s Divine Sense perception, that figure kept a distant follow behind him. Half an hour later, Su Xing stopped in a large mountain area, took out a stone table, and two stone stools. Then he pretentiously brewed two cups of tea and said aloud: "Isn''t it a pleasure to have friends come from afar!" "Why not show yourself, esteemed guest?" After Su Xing spoke, he sipped his tea as if he didn''t care about others. Before long, Luo Shuying''s figure appeared not far from Su Xing, looking at him somewhat warily and asked: Chapter 301: Chapter 183: Overnight Fortune, Raking in 300,000 Spirit Stones! (5k)_3 ```"Who are you? Why do you want to kill Protector Zong?" Hearing this, Su Xing smiled faintly and retorted: "A Human Race traitor, a scourge of the Descending Sect, why should he not be killed?" After hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Shuying fell silent and then took out two daggers, saying coldly: "In that case, let''s fight!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing remained calm and collected, and said: "Hehe, since you are not a traitor of the Human Race, why should I make a move?" "If I''m not mistaken... you are from the Spirit Race world, sent as an undercover agent to the Descending Sect, aren''t you?" At these words, Luo Shuying felt a jolt in her heart, seemingly incredulous as to how Su Xing could know. But Su Xing carried an air of profound mystery and said: "I have wandered through countless minor worlds~ naturally, I have been to the world of the Spirit Race... As for Damned Zong... the Protector, he''s nothing but the dregs among cultivators!" "As for the Spirit Race... I have encountered a few, so I was able to recognize your identity..." With the help of the "Success Master", Su Xing''s words were well-founded, and Luo Shuying had no doubts. Seeing the uncertainty in Luo Shuying''s eyes, as if she was somewhat convinced, Su Xing took the opportunity to continue his deception. "I see you are not far from reaching the Legendary Level, there is a natural treasure in the treasury of the Descending Sect named Condensing Spirit Wood." "If you can bring it to me, I can help you ascend to the Legendary Level!" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Shuying''s eyes lit up, her heart filled with desire. She had been stuck at the peak of the Martial Emperor Level for years and had yet to break through; if she could ascend to the Legendary Level, her power would surely rise to a new level. Under the influence of the Success Master, Luo Shuying''s trust in Su Xing grew stronger. But Luo Shuying still had some doubts and asked: "Senior, why are you being so kind to me?" Upon hearing this, Su Xing smiled faintly and said: "We are both fighting against the Foreign Race to protect our hometowns, aren''t we?" "Follow me, and I will lead you in driving out the Foreign Race and reclaiming our homes!" After listening to Su Xing''s words, Luo Shuying finally became completely convinced and hastily said: "Senior, what do you need me to do for you?" Seeing that Luo Shuying had finally put her complete trust in him, Su Xing thought for a moment and then said: "On the 8th of every month, come to this place. If I am here, you shall come and meet... if I''m not, you can leave on your own!" Luo Shuying nodded slightly after hearing this. Su Xing then drank the tea in his cup in one gulp and left the place. The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. In the real world, Su Xing stroked his chin and said: "Tsk tsk, the effect of this Success Master is truly amazing!" "Directly deceiving Luo Shuying, a powerhouse close to the Legendary Level, like this..." Su Xing was very satisfied with the performance of the Success Master. In fact, every word Su Xing had said to Luo Shuying had been carefully thought out. "In the real world, it''s not too good for me to expose my identity directly to Luo Shuying... at least I can''t expose it at the current stage..." "But I still need Luo Shuying to introduce me, so I can continue to exploit the Descending Sect in the simulation..." ``` "Moreover, if we later raid the Descending Sect''s treasury, we will need Luo Shuying''s help!" "And by having Luo Shuying visit that location once a month, she will not expose herself, and since there is no direct way of contact between us, it is the safest measure!" Su Xing stroked his chin, muttering to himself. He could be a little reckless within the simulator, but in the real world, Su Xing was always cautious. As for asking Luo Shuying to bring Condensing Spirit Wood, he naturally wanted her to break through to the Legendary Level as soon as possible, so that she could better coordinate with him.

Su Xing decided to run another simulation. His gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [After killing Damned Zong, you met with Luo Shuying.] [With your glib tongue, you won Luo Shuying''s trust.] [You quietly waited in Kyoto for a month, during which you tried to concoct elixirs and practiced the Li Fire Technique.] [A month later, you found Luo Shuying on time and joined the Descending Sect together.] [After joining the Descending Sect, you started your routine concoction of elixirs.] [You concocted some Soul Condensing Pills for Luo Shuying, helping her break through to the Legendary Level.] [In the following two years, you stayed within the Descending Sect, seducing a large number of loyal followers with your masterful persuasive skills.] [They saw you as the future guide of the Descending Sect, the spiritual anchor in their lives.] [Over those two years, you concocted a large number of elixirs and accumulated a 60-day bonus to the "Great Wisdom" state.] [Also, on the days of Jingzhe in both years, you obtained twenty drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.] [In the third year, you defected from the Descending Sect with Luo Shuying and went to Kyoto.] [When the more than twenty thousand Descending Sect disciples found out, they all flocked to the Great Summer Kyoto to question you.] [Utilizing your talent as a master of persuasion, you introduced "the Fourth Path to Redemption" and totally bewitched them into joining Demon-Subduing Pass, forming a dare-to-die army.] [These Descending Sect disciples became warriors in Demon-Subduing Pass, each worth ten ordinary men.] [After all this, you formally started concocting Void Refinement Pills.] [You now have one piece of Condensing Spirit Wood that is three zhang long and another that is one zhang long, which is enough for the ingredients.] [But you only have two hundred and sixty drops of Spring Dew Pure Water, each drop only enough to concoct one batch of Void Refinement Pills.] [Thus, you treasured every opportunity to concoct Void Refinement Pills.] [You entered the Great Wisdom state and pushed your Divine Sense to the limit, carefully watching the condensation and changes of every herb within the Pill Furnace.] [Spiritual Power enveloped the Spring Dew Pure Water as you placed it into the Alchemy Furnace...] [The first attempt at concocting Void Refinement Pills took two hours.] [Undoubtedly, you failed, but you began to accumulate experience from this failure.] [In the first month, you tried to concoct twenty batches of Void Refinement Pills, all predictably resulting in failures.] [Concocting Void Refinement Pills proved to be a bit more difficult than you had imagined, but under the "Great Wisdom State," you made some progress in their concoction.] [In the second month, you concocted another twenty batches of Void Refinement Pills and all failed, but your understanding of them improved slightly...] [The third month... The fourth month...] [So it went, until half a year had passed, during which time you concocted a total of one hundred and twenty batches of Void Refinement Pills, and though all were failures, your detail comprehension of the concoction process was several times better than before.] [The bonuses from the Great Wisdom State allowed you to gain multiple times more experience with each concoction attempt.] [You knew in your heart that once you successfully concocted the Void Refinement Pill, the Return to Void Realm would not be far away!] Chapter 320: Chapter 190: The Worlds Fissure, the Angel Envoy of Slaughter? (5k~) Su Xing saw this and still felt some anticipation in his heart. Whether he could reach the d of the Slaughter Battlefield. Whether he could find the cracks to other worlds, this was related to whether Su Xing could go to the Qingyun Realm! "I hope, this time I can go ev further..." "At least, I cannot fall to those lost Legdary Demon Beasts again!" Su Xing muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the simulation panel. [On the dless Slaughter Battlefield, you continue to move forward.] [Your Divine Sse observes any movemt within thirty thousand zhang a you.] [You try to avoid those lost Demonic Beasts, avoiding unnecessary battles.] [But the further you walk, the bigger the Red Moon above you grows, and the more you feel the negative emotions in your heart become uncontrollable.] [Again, time passes without knowing how long, and currtly, within the range of your Divine Sse, the lower-order Demonic Beasts become fewer and fewer.] [Almost all the Demonic Beasts are of Demon King level or above.] [Occasionally, you can see a few Legdary Demon Beasts, aimlessly wandering a this Slaughter Battlefield...] [You continue forward, occasionally taking a Calming Pill to resist the influce of the Red Moon.] [Finally, the Demonic Beasts you counter are at least of the Demon Emperor level, and you have countered more than a doz Legdary Level Demon Beasts.] [You use your Divine Sse to probe for possible emies within thirty thousand zhang, still avoiding combat with them, carefully maneuvering a.] [After all, on this Slaughter Battlefield, you do not know how much further you must go, and you must save your strgth as much as possible.] [Thus, the Red Moon in the sky grows from the size of a jade plate, to the size of a wheel... ultimately becoming as large as a grinding disc.] [You feel that the closer you are to the Red Moon, the stronger the wild rage in your heart grows.] [You walk on for a long time... The vastness of this Slaughter Battlefield far exceeds your imagination.] [Its area might be dozs or ev hundreds of times that of Blue Star...] [You are astonished at why the Slaughter Battlefield is so vast.] [At this point, every few hundred li you walk, you counter one or two Legdary Level Demon Beasts, all of whom have lost themselves.] [They do not attack each other, but as soon as they sse a strange aura, they will chase reltlessly, never stopping until death.] [Along the way, you inadverttly counter a Legdary Demon Beast, and after fighting hundreds of s, you finally manage to kill it with difficulty.] [You know that this is due to the influce of the Red Moon, which greatly diminishes your strgth.] [And these lost Legdary Demon Beasts, under the influce of the Red Moon, become ev more ferocious and bloodthirsty, truly difficult to deal with.] [After that battle, you become ev more cautious. If you counter a Legdary Demon Beast on the road, you will go a as far as possible to avoid fighting.] [Not knowing how much time has passed...] ??????.?? [Finally, you feel that the Red Moon is right in front of you, within reach if you extd your hand...] [A voice seems to rise from the bottom of your heart, constantly tempting you, seemingly urging you to give up resisting and return to the embrace of the divine.] [You do not know what this divine refers to, but you know it is not well-inttioned.] [Fortunately, your will is firm and you have not lost yourself to it.] [The whispers in your ears grow louder, and you have to spd more and more mtal ergy to suppress your own violt emotions.] Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Luckily, you still have many Calming Pills in your hand, and with these, you are confidt that you can go much further.] [You are like a weather-beat traveler, unaware of where the d is, but you keep moving forward...] [After a long time, two paths appear in front of you, and you do not know which way to go.] [You decide to follow the guidance of your heart and choose to continue walking forward.] [Gradually, more and more forks in the road appear before you, seemingly tempting you to rush in other directions.] [But you always manage to pick the right path. You know... this is the function of your innate human-shaped navigation!] [Evtually, it seems that you have reached the d of the Slaughter Battlefield... but actually, you are not sure...] [Because in front of you, that Red Moon finally appears complete and clearly before you.] [It is no longer as hazy as before, but rather like an artifact within reach, touchable if you extd your hand.] [A voice in your heart tells you to touch this Red Moon.] [But your intuition tells you not to.] [Wh you arrive here, there seems to be no road ahead.] [You suppress the negative emotions that are surging in your heart, with your Divine Sse sweeping through everything a you.] [Suddly, you sse a very strong spatial fluctuation at a certain location.] [You immediately perk up, knowing that it might be the crack betwe worlds, the channel betwe worlds, that you''ve be looking for!] [But in your sse, right in front of that spatial coordinate, there is a terrifyingly extreme presce...] [But you do not hesitate, regardless of what that presce represts, you want to explore it.] [You arrive at the coordinate with the strong spatial fluctuations and it seems like you''ve found a bug in the world.] [On the blood-colored land, there is an abrupt pure wall of air...] [Just as you are about to approach that wall of air, suddly a black shadow attacks you.] [At this momt, you are already somewhat delirious, but still you barely manage to raise your Protective Gang Qi, hoping to block the sneak attack.] [The Protective Gang Qi shatters upon impact, and you are flung hundreds of meters away, severely injured and spitting blood.] [Simultaneously, you also clearly see the appearance of the creature that attacked you.] [It is a humanoid monster, but it is pitch black all over, with disgusting limbs like ttacles and tdrils.] Chapter 321: Chapter 190: The Worlds Fissure, the Angel Envoy of Slaughter? (5k~)_2 [He and those lost demonic beasts were differt; he seemed to still retain his own consciousness.] [He called himself the Slaughter Envoy...] [He warned you not to approach that door.] [He asked if you were willing to accept God''s test and become an voy of God like him, possessing dless mighty power...] [You looked at his disgusting figure, and you refused...] [The creature that called itself the Slaughter Envoy muttered regretfully after hearing your refusal, saying he detected a distasteful sct on you.] [It was the sct of those despised by the God of Slaughter...] [Having said that, his figure flashed, and his fingertips grew nails sharp as blades, slicing across your neck.] [Your head fell to the g as a matter of course, and your divine soul left your body...] [Without any effort, he captured your divine soul.] [Afterward, he made a strange gesture, seemingly worshipping the blood moon.] [It appeared he wanted to sacrifice your divine soul to that blood moon.] [Your consciousness slowly faded...] [You died!] [Ding, your talt "Unaccepting Eyes" has be activated!] [You wided your eyes and saw the so-called Slaughter Envoy toss your divine soul towards the blood moon.] [The moon in the sky seemed to flicker for a momt, a strange gravitational force drawing your divine soul towards the blood moon.] [However, something you did not anticipate happed.] [You had thought the blood moon would absorb your divine soul, but instead, you ssed a trace of revulsion from it.] [The blood moon released your divine soul back to where it came from.] [The Slaughter Envoy''s face instantly showed an expression of terror as he continued to worship the blood moon.] [In the d, he obliterated your divine soul...] [Ding, this simulation has ded!] After the simulation ded, Su Xing took a deep breath, but his expression was complicated. "Indeed, after reaching the realm of legds, relying on one''s own strgth and powerful divine sse... one can reach the d of the Slaughter Battlefield!" "And just like what Damned Zong said before, at the d of this Slaughter Battlefield lies the passage to other worlds!" Su Xing took a deep breath. He couldn''t help but believe everything he had se in this simulation! That strange pure air wall, perhaps by passing through that wall, one could travel to other worlds? Or is it that the guy who claimed to be the Slaughter Envoy, his fear, ev reverce, towards that blood moon... Indirectly proves the extraordinary nature of that blood moon, perhaps it truly is the incarnation of some deity after death? ????.?? "And the most crucial point... why did the ali shape say that I am a person despised by the blood moon?" "And why... did the Slaughter Blood Moon refuse to devour my divine soul?" Su Xing really couldn''t comprehd, the evts he witnessed in this simulation were still beyond his understanding. "Regardless, the d of this Slaughter Battlefield, that air wall, does indeed warrant further exploration!" Su Xing frowned lightly, muttering to himself: "It''s just that the Slaughter Envoy''s strgth is at least at the Emperor Level!" "Adding to that... the negative emotional impact that the strange blood moon had on me greatly reduced my strgth!" "I fear that I will need to wait until my strgth has greatly increased before I can possibly defeat that Slaughter Envoy!" After pondering for a long time, Su Xing''s furrowed brows relaxed. Regardless, everything he had se on the Slaughter Battlefield was crucial information for him. "But now... it''s time to choose the simulation rewards!" Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation reward panel. [Humanoid Navigation]: Purple Talt, price million ergy points. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Price 00 million simulation ergy points. "In the Slaughter Battlefield, there seemed to be many forks in the road at the d... and this time, I reached the d under the guidance of this humanoid navigation talt." "What the consequces of choosing the other paths would have be remains unknown..." Su Xing paid atttion to the Purple Talt humanoid navigation mtioned this time. This seemingly useless talt played a crucial role before Su Xing finally countered the Slaughter Envoy. "Alchemy experice isn''t necessary to choose again... after all, I didn''t develop any new elixirs this time..." Su Xing also noticed the simulator''s explanation for the Rebirth Pill. He was surprised to see his own name appear in the description of the Rebirth Pill. This means that the Rebirth Pill was indeed indepdtly developed and improved by Su Xing. Thus, Su Xing naturally had a Mahayana, ev a Great Achievemt level of understanding of the Rebirth Pill. "However, there''s no need to hesitate over this time''s reward selection!" "I choose the Return to Void Realm Sixth Layer cultivation level and the Mahayana Level Li Fire Technique!" Su Xing declared decisively. [You have successfully brought out the Return to Void Realm Sixth Layer cultivation level, spding 300 million ergy, remaining ergy balance is 4 billion 3 million 560 thousand points...] [You have successfully brought out Mahayana Level Li Fire Technique, spding 50 million ergy, remaining ergy balance is 3 billion 3 million 560 thousand points.] Chapter 322: Chapter 190: The Worlds Fissure, the Angel Envoy of Slaughter? (5k~)_3 After the simulator''s prompt tone dropped, two mysterious forces surged into Su Xing''s body. Feeling the turbult and raging Spiritual Power within. Su Xing hurriedly sat down cross-legged and calmed his mind. Immediately after, the Cultivation Level within Su Xing''s body began to skyrocket. Return to Void Realm third layer... Return to Void Realm fourth layer... Return to Void Realm fifth layer! Evtually, Return to Void Realm sixth layer! In just a few breaths'' time, the Spiritual Power inside Su Xing had more than doubled! He had leaped directly from the early stage of Return to Void to the mid stage! And he was just one minor level away from the late stage of Return to Void... After stabilizing the internal ergy within his body, Su Xing slowly oped his eyes and murmured, "The feeling of a sudd increase in cultivation... feels so good!" In any part of the Cultivation World, being able to jump from the third layer of Return to Void to the sixth layer in just twty-five short years is undoubtedly an act of gius! After all, this wasn''t Gold Core or Nasct Soul realms. This was Return to Void! "Cultivation resources really do come first... Previously it took a decade or two just to breakthrough three layers during the Gold Core Stage..." "Now at the Return to Void Stage, it still only took a little over twty years... That''s the importance of cultivation resources!" Su Xing couldn''t help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Using Spiritual Liquid in conjunction with a Heavly Spirit Root, the feeling of cheating in cultivation was just too exhilarating! Unfortunately, over a million drops of Spiritual Liquid were only ough for Su Xing to cultivate for one year... S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It seems that a plan to obtain more Spiritual Liquid must be implemted soon, otherwise the growth in Cultivation Level for the later stages of Return to Void and the Integration Phase might once again become slow..." Su Xing murmured to himself before shifting his atttion to the Li Fire Technique. "What kind of astonishing power does a Mahayana Level Li Fire Technique possess?" With a thought, Su Xing once again tried to summon the Li Fire Technique. A wisp of flame appeared in the palm of Su Xing''s hand. The Mahayana Level Li Fire Technique, with its intse and bright red flames, ev had a hint of purple within it... With a thought from Su Xing, this wisp of Li Fire could appear at any location within the Spirit Field Cave. But Su Xing didn''t dare to experimt too much. After all, although the Li Fire wouldn''t harm Su Xing, if it were to burn the plants in the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing would be extremely distressed... "The temperature and power of the flame... indeed several times stronger than before!" "Just this little wisp of flame, if an ordinary Martial Emperor were to come into contact with it, they''d probably be burned to ashes in an instant!" "Ev for a peak Martial Emperor, a slight touch would likely be a life or death situation!" Su Xing could feel that, as his proficicy with the Li Fire Technique increased, the power of the Li Fire also greatly escalated. At the same time, Su Xing also felt that the amount of Spiritual Energy needed to release the Li Fire Technique had more than doubled. Luckily, Su Xing''s Spiritual Power was now much more robust than before, so he barely took this consumption into account. "Might as well try Alchemy... With a thought, Su Xing took out the Alchemy Furnace. But just after heating for a few seconds, the second-rank special metal Alchemy Furnace was thoroughly melted. Su Xing blinked and shook his head slightly, saying: ??????.??? "Indeed, the durability of a second-rank special metal is still insufficit to withstand this strand of Li Fire!" Fortunately, Su Xing still had the Pill Furnace left behind by Qing Yunzi, which could be used to refine elixirs. "Once I get my hands on the Alchemy Furnace made of fourth-rank special metal, it should be able to withstand the temperature of this Li Fire Technique!" That''s what Su Xing thought. Of course, that was assuming Su Xing wasn''t using the Li Fire Technique at full strgth. Alchemy, unlike killing... naturally requires differt temperature control! The following week, Su Xing spt his busy time farming. Because the second-rank special metal Pill Furnace was destroyed, Su Xing could only use one furnace for alchemy, instantly halving his speed. Su Xing simply refined over two thousand elixirs. With the remaining time, he collected spiritual liquid, and in one week, Su Xing obtained another thousand drops of spiritual liquid. Su Xing ev found time to weed out some of the grass in the fields. Th he changed the layout of the Spirit Gathering Array. After all, in the future, there might be more Gathering Spirit Flowers coming to Su Xing''s Spirit Field Cave. Soon, a week passed. It was the sevth of October. After disguising himself and concealing his presce, Su Xing wt to find Jin Congxue again. Jin Congxue had be waiting in the villa''s room for quite some time. Unlike her sporty girl style last time, today Jin Congxue wore a form-fitting gown. The autumn air was growing chillier, but the gown couldn''t hide Jin Congxue''s exquisite body curves. Su Xing inwardly praised her. Jin Congxue''s beauty was indeed like the first snow of winter, beautiful... and like a capricious fairy, elusive and unfathomable. Especially after taking the Nourishing Face Pills refined by Su Xing continuously, her skin condition was like that of an eighte-year-old girl''sdelicate, with collag-full cheeks. Caught under Su Xing''s gaze, Jin Congxue''s pretty face blushed as she chided: "Ar''t you going to sit down and eat already~" Su Xing chuckled and sat down across from her, and together they started to joy the meal. Before long, the meal was over, and Jin Congxue handed over a storage ring. Su Xing oped the ring and saw that it indeed contained refined special metal ores. There were also a full five red-purple Alchemy Furnaces. "Is this, an Alchemy Furnace made of fourth-rank special metal?" Joy appeared on Su Xing''s face, and he quickly took out a furnace to inspect. Indeed, the craftsmanship of this Pill Furnace was far superior to the second-rank one from before. Su Xing had a thought and pressed his finger on it slightly, but it only left a shallow imprint. "Hiss~ It''s certainly sturdy ough!" Su Xing rejoiced inwardly. Though he didn''t use his full strgth, if it had be the second-rank furnace from before, it would probably have be punctured by now, which showed a significant improvemt in durability. "Good, it should be able to withstand the power of the Li Fire Technique!" Su Xing thought to himself. Soon after finishing their meal, Su Xing made a thorough check and th returned to the Spirit Field Cave. "After this simulation, it''s time to head out and kill that damned Zong..." Su Xing muttered, feeling a mild sse of anticipation. Chapter 329: Chapter 193: Bluffing Luo Shuying, New Round of Simulation! (Vote for Monthly Pass~) By this time, Luo Shuying had already come to fully trust Su Xing, so she quickly nodded and said, "As you command, elder!" "May I ask, elder, is there anything I can do for you?" At this moment, in Luo Shuying''s heart, Su Xing was an absolute expert, a paragon who had stood against the Foreign Race for a millennium, a true representative of the righteous. He was also the straw that Luo Shuying grasped at for self-redemption, the one who could save the Spirit Race world! Su Xing still maintained a calm and composed expression and sighed, "Your strength is still too weak now... you haven''t even reached the realm of legend..." "How about this, you go to the Descending Sect''s treasury and find a piece of Condensing Spirit Wood, and I will refine a batch of Soul Condensing Pills for you, which will help you to break through to legend!" Luo Shuying was delighted upon hearing this and was even more convinced that Su Xing was a peerless expert who stayed hidden from the world. "Thank you, elder!" Luo Shuying said, bowing in gratitude. Su Xing then nodded slightly and said, "From now on, on this day of each month, you can come here seeking me, and if I''m not here, feel free to leave..." "Next month, on the 8th, bring the Condensing Spirit Wood, and after another month, you can come to receive your elixirs..." Luo Shuying quickly nodded in response. Su Xing used his Spiritual Power to draw an image of the Condensing Spirit Wood in the air and instructed Luo Shuying on several matters. Luo Shuying then excused herself, prepared to return to the Descending Sect. Su Xing, on the other hand, carefully erased all traces of their meeting here and obscured the workings of fate before preparing to fly back to Kyoto on his sword. To be safe, Su Xing did not return directly to Kyoto City but instead traveled through the sky, overland, and waterway in turns. He made a big detour, passing through seven or eight provinces before returning to Kyoto City. Back in his familiar dormitory, Su Xing took a deep breath and entered the Spirit Field Cave. Inside the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing thought carefully for a long time to make sure he had left nothing unchecked, and only then, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew~ Taking out that damned Zong and meeting Luo Shuying certainly entailed some risks, but the rewards are quite tempting!" Su Xing murmured to himself. In the real world, it would be better not to reveal his identity to Luo Shuying. Especially after knowing more about the strength of the Descending Sect and the Foreign Race, the fewer people who knew about Su Xing''s identity, the better. It was best if everyone thought of Su Xing as a student who had failed to graduate, a bottom-rung student; this was in line with Su Xing''s wishes. With these thoughts, Su Xing took out an item. It was unexpectedly the storage bag of the damned Zong! "Finally got my hands on it... Within this storage bag is the fortune that Zong accumulated over thousands of years!" Su Xing rubbed his hands together excitedly. ?@?-?ҦӦ+?&-?!*????⣤ Firstly, he took out a large pile of Spirit Stones. Because Zong had not yet hidden the Spirit Stones in the Five Elements Mountain, the bag contained nearly eighty thousand Spirit Stones in total. Su Xing carefully added this batch of Spirit Stones to his own pile. Thus, the number of Su Xing''s low-grade Spirit Stones surpassed three hundred thousand! Afterwards, Su Xing continued to sort through the contents of the storage bag. He kept aside the Cultivation Techniques and magic techniques recorded on the Jade Slips; these might be of great use to him in the future. He also categorized some Magic Artifacts, including those like the Five Thunder Balls, which were very useful for Su Xing. However, the frequently used bone sword and the Soul Summoning Banner favored by Zong did not attract Su Xing much. One reason was that these Magic Artifacts were overly malicious; another was that they had significant side effects. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Moreover, with Su Xing himself cultivating his own prime artifact, there was no need for him to settle for less and pursue these. "Hmm, the quality of these Spiritual Medicines is really not bad; they must be at least several hundred years old... I''ll preserve them carefully; they might be needed when I practice alchemy in the future..." Su Xing took out several jade boxes and stored the Spiritual Medicine to prevent the medicinal properties from dissipating. Next, he carefully put away the elixirs in various bottles and jars, planning to examine their uses when he had more time. As for the puppets, Su Xing did not touch them for the moment. After all, there were still Prohibitions on these objects, which could easily reveal clues to others. It was a relatively safe approach to keep them in the Spirit Field Cave. After categorizing all sorts of treasures from the entire storage bag, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief and began to read Zong''s diary. "Xianwu Year 2377, entered the sect, chanced upon the Flower Fairy... truly beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, I really felt inferior..." "Xianwu Year 2378, the Flower Fairy gave me directions, I didn''t sleep at all that night, so excited was I..." "Xianwu Year 2379, passing by the Flower Fairy''s chamber, I mustered the courage to approach and inquire about Cultivation Techniques..." "Xianwu Year 2380, I talked with the Flower Fairy for a long time, and she said I was a good person... Strange, was she complimenting me?" "Xianwu Year 2382, I bought a hundred-year fine wine from the foot of our sect for the Flower Fairy, she and the eldest senior brother drank together... I wanted to join them, but the Flower Fairy said that as a newcomer to the path of cultivation, I should not drink... Strange, how come master never told me that? Luckily, the Flower Fairy reminded me..." Su Xing casually flipped through a few pages of the diary and then couldn''t help but close it. "Damn, this damned Zong was a lovesick puppy back in the day!" "The early diaries nearly always mention the Flower Fairy..." "Tsk tsk, perhaps his descent to the path of evil cultivation... was also because he was deeply hurt by the Flower Fairy..." Su Xing felt somewhat speechless for the moment; Zong''s experiences were truly peculiar! Recalling the Flower Fairy who was turned into a puppet in the storage magical artifact, Su Xing sighed that love indeed was a stumbling block on the path of cultivation! "Well, when I''m bored someday, I''ll look through Zong''s diaries again; surely, I can glean quite a bit of useful information from them!" Su Xing put the diary away, since there was no rush to finish reading it now that he had the object in hand. The main problem was that the content was too voluminous... Who could finish reading diaries spanning thousands of years? Chapter 330: Chapter 193: Trick Luo Shuying, A New Round of Simulation! (Vote for Monthly Ticket~)_2 After storing the items away, Su Xing prepared to start setting up the Spirit Gathering Array. First, he dismantled the core of the previous Spirit Gathering Array, then he rearranged the base Spirit Gathering Array. Next, he combined two basic Spirit Gathering Arrays to form an elementary Spirit Gathering Array... Finally, he set up an intermediate Spirit Gathering Array! The setup of just one intermediate Spirit Gathering Array had taken Su Xing a full three days. This was under the condition that Su Xing had a near-impeccable grasp of the Spirit Gathering Array, otherwise, it would have taken even more time. "I''ll just set up one for now... Afterward, I''ll take a few days each week to set up the Spirit Gathering Array. There''s no rush..." With this in mind, Su Xing began his usual alchemy to make elixirs. Due to time constraints, Su Xing could only afford to make three thousand elixirs. On October 14th, after disguising himself and concealing his presence, Su Xing went to find Jin Congxue. In the private room of the villa, Su Xing and Jin Congxue sat opposite each other. After a meal, Su Xing handed over the elixirs made during the week to Jin Congxue and also collected this week''s goods. Once the trade was completed, Su Xing covertly returned to the Spirit Field Cave. The new week''s goods provided Su Xing with nearly one hundred million energy. Thus, Su Xing''s simulation energy once again reached five hundred and ninety million! Su Xing secretly nodded and murmured, "Even though the high-grade purified exotic metals are gone... but as the Tarot Society''s business continues to grow... one hundred million energy a week is not bad!" One hundred million a week, that''s a full four hundred million energy a month! Though for Su Xing, a month''s worth of energy was barely enough for a few levels of the Broken Void Realm. However, this was after all a stable and gradual source of energy income. If he could earn some extra money occasionally, it should be barely enough. On October 14th of the New Era 2024, Su Xing promptly started a new round of simulation. "Start the simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 5700 points of energy, remaining energy 612.33 million points, unlimited remaining simulations.] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Simulation starting!] [Drawing a Purple Talent costs 100,000 points of energy, drawing a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million energy, would you like to draw?] "Draw a Golden Talent!" Su Xing silently thought. [Ding, congratulations on drawing the Purple Talent "Touch of Midas," your next chance of drawing a Golden Talent is at 35%...] As expected, it was a Purple Talent. Su Xing wasn''t disappointed, knowing the simulator''s touching draw rates, getting a Golden Talent before a seventy percent chance would make him quite lucky, right? "Touch of Midas... What kind of talent is that?" Su Xing looked at the talent introduction. [Touch of Midas]: Purple Talent, as the name suggests, you have the talent of turning anything into gold by spending a certain amount of Spiritual Power, you can turn ordinary stones into gold. "Consume Spiritual Power to turn into gold!?" "Hiss~ This seems like a top-level money-making talent!" Su Xing''s eyes lit up. On Blue Star, as a precious metal, one gram of gold was priced around 400 Great Xia Coins. If he could get enough gold, Su Xing could definitely make a fortune in a short amount of time. "Let''s test out this talent first!" Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You go to a big mountain outside Kyoto City and bring back a large stone.] [You attempt to activate your Spiritual Power talent to turn the stone into gold.] [You succeed!] [You spent one day transforming this stone into a whole ton of gold.] Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this. A ton of gold a day, this talent seemed quite strong! But after some quick calculations, Su Xing found the talent somewhat useless to him. On Blue Star, a gram of gold is worth 400 Great Xia Coins. One thousand grams, that''s four hundred thousand... A ton of gold is four billion! Four billion seemed like a lot, but Su Xing made more than that in pure profit daily just by making elixirs. After some further thinking, Su Xing shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, this talent is of no use at the moment... I wonder if the speed of converting to gold will increase once my level is higher in the future?" Su Xing sighed. However, if Su Xing really reached that level of strength, money might truly become just a number to him. "Well, my goal this time is to get Spiritual Liquid and improve my Body Refinement Cultivation Level... whether the talent is good or bad doesn''t really matter." After all, since he had to save up Spiritual Liquid, he naturally couldn''t spend Spiritual Liquid to increase his Qi Refinement Cultivation Level. Thus, improving his Body Refinement Cultivation Level at the same time seemed like the most cost-effective method. Su Xing comforted himself and turned his gaze back to the simulation panel. [You realize that the Touch of Midas talent isn''t much use to you.] [So you begin setting up a composite Spirit Gathering Array in the Spirit Field Cave and also set up a Water Gathering Formation.] [ You spend three weeks completing the setup of these formations.] [By now, the Spirit Field Cave has already been elevated to a medium-grade Cave Heaven.] [Thus, the Spirit Field Cave will provide you with 3,000 drops of Spiritual Liquid every week, saving you time to collect Spiritual Liquid.] [After setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, you go to Luo Shuying as agreed.] [With Luo Shuying''s introduction, you join the Descending Sect.] [Using your "Master of Success" talent, you quickly attract a large number of die-hard fans.] [You spend two years in the Descending Sect, during which you spend all your time making elixirs and saving up sixty days of "Great Wisdom State."] [In the third year, you made a total of two hundred thousand elixirs, almost draining the treasury of the Descending Sect.] [You believe the time is right, so you betray the Descending Sect.] [You join the Great Xia Military. With the elixirs you made, you help Great Xia Country birth a large number of powerful individuals.] Chapter 344: Chapter 198: Immortal Seed Third Class, The Secret of Becoming an Immortal! (5k) Su Xing merely nodded slightly, a mere Martial Emperor could hardly catch his attention now. "First, take Master Baili back to the mansion... he hasn''t fully come to his senses yet..." So said Su Xing. Before long, the three of them returned to the Baili mansion. With the help of the various healing medicines of the Baili family, Master Baili soon regained consciousness. Upon waking, Master Baili looked around and spotted Su Xing among the crowd. Master Baili quickly came to a realization and bowed to Su Xing, saying: "Thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace. I will never forget this great kindness for as long as I live..." Su Xing, upon hearing this, simply shook his head slightly, fiddling with the two storage rings on his hand, and said: "It''s just business... you pay, I protect your life, that''s how it should be." Baili Tu was startled upon hearing this, then decisively said: "Senior, my life is worth more than these instance dungeon items..." "How about this, as long as I live, the Baili family will provide a batch of instance dungeon items to senior every month..." "The Baili family may not have much of value to offer... but we do have some wealth... whatever you need, we will try to satisfy!" Su Xing nodded slightly and said: "If that''s the case, if I need anything in the future, I will come to the Baili family to find you..." "Now that the head of the Baili family has recovered, it is time for me to leave..." Baili Tu wanted to ask him to stay, but Su Xing wasn''t interested in further relations, preferring to maintain a purely business relationship. Su Xing vanished on the spot, turning into a streak of light and leaving the Baili mansion. After Su Xing left, Baili Tu sighed deeply: "Alas, this senior is unfathomably strong... yet he does not wish to become too involved with my Baili family..." "Well, being able to keep in touch with the senior is already good... as long as we keep collecting instance dungeon items in the future, the senior is bound to have some goodwill towards the Baili household." At this moment, Baili Tu was convinced that Su Xing was definitely one of those legendary figures who lived in seclusion. Even among legendary figures, he was among the best! Such a strong person might already be hundreds of years old, having seen too much of the world''s vicissitudes. While the Baili Business Association was one of the top businesses in Da Xia, it was still far from enough for a legendary strong person... ... Meanwhile, after leaving the Baili mansion, Su Xing once again used his Divine Sense to check the storage rings. As expected, there was no tampering by the Baili family this time. But Su Xing, always cautious, flew with his sword to Kyoto City and made sure no one was following him before he changed his appearance and returned to the Spirit Field Cave. First, Su Xing converted the two storage rings given to him by Baili Qi into model energy. [Ding, detected a large amount of energy-rich materials, total value 430 million model energy, do you wish to absorb?] "Yes!" Su Xing said decisively. Including this batch of model energy, Su Xing''s energy once again surged to 690 million points. Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, the Baili Business Association, as the leader of the southern commerce guilds, can collect over four billion worth of instance dungeon items in just a couple of months..." "This scale of business and capability, Tarot Society is still far behind..." An average of four billion energy every two months was a respectable income for Su Xing. Find more at mvlemp-y,r. "There''s also the exotic metals I found in this instance, worth sixteen billion after purification..." "In that case, in just one short day, I have earned just over twenty billion in energy!" Su Xing was somewhat excited, then returned to his dormitory and made a call to Jin Congxue. After confirming that Jin Congxue was still in Kyoto City, Su Xing sent over the exotic metal ores. Five hundred cubic meters of exotic metal ores would be purified in no more than two weeks. By then, Su Xing would be able to earn sixteen billion instance energy at one go! "Phew... Su Xing, you can''t get carried away! There are still many uses for energy in the future..." "Energy is a thing that the more you have, the better." Su Xing reminded himself. Over the next few days, Su Xing continued to stay in the Spirit Field Cave, refining elixirs, arranging spirit formations, and even took the time to read the diary left by Damned Zong. By the 28th of October, the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Cave had become extremely rich. It had fully progressed from an inferior cave to a medium-quality one. From now on, every week, Su Xing could automatically collect a total of three thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid! That day, after finishing his elixir refining, Su Xing changed his appearance, and went to find Jin Congxue. Today, Jin Congxue was wearing a white floral dress, looking very much like a young girl. The two chatted leisurely while eating together. Su Xing handed over the elixirs that he had refined over the week to Jin Congxue. Then he took out two more bottles of elixirs and passed them over, saying: "Sister Xue, these two bottles contain twenty Spirit Pills..." "The Spirit Pill will greatly benefit your strength enhancement... and this pill is extremely precious, so you should take it yourself and not let others know about it..." Seeing how serious Su Xing was, Jin Congxue nodded and put away the elixirs. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Afterward, Jin Congxue also took out the goods she had prepared for the week and said: "According to your request, the exotic metal ores you sent a few days ago have also been partially purified... I''ll hand them all over to you!" Su Xing took the storage ring, and after some more casual conversation, he skillfully checked with his Divine Sense and safely returned to the Spirit Field Cave. He converted the week''s goods into model energy. Su Xing''s model energy instantly skyrocketed by more than seven billion. Including the energy he had left, Su Xing''s model energy had reached a total of fourteen billion! "Phew~ Having money on hand really calms the mind!" Su Xing looked at the long string of numbers on the panel, his lips inevitably curling into a smile. Chapter 345: Chapter 198: Immortal Seed Third Rank, The Secret to Becoming an Immortal! (5k)_2 On October 28, 2024 of the New Era, Su Xing promptly initiated a new round of simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation will consume 5,900 points of energy, leaving a balance of 1.41788 billion points. The remaining number of simulation attempts is unlimited.] [Simulation starting!] [Drawing the Purple Talent costs 100k points of energy, while drawing the Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million points of energy. Would you like to draw?] Upon seeing this, Su Xing gave it some thought. His current remaining energy for simulations was fourteen billion, which should be more than sufficient for the next few simulations, especially since a large batch of energy would be credited to his account next week. "At present, my base probability of drawing a Golden Talent is five percent... it may be better to invest another five billion energy points. With that, it would take at most ten attempts to draw a Golden Talent, thereby increasing efficiency!" That''s what Su Xing considered, then he silently commanded. "Spend 5 billion energy points to increase the lottery probability for drawing a Golden Talent!" [Ding, you have successfully spent 5 billion points of energy. The lottery probability for the Golden Talent has increased by 5%, with the current base hit rate at 10% and the probability for drawing a Golden Talent this time at 50%... Remaining energy points are 9.1788 billion!] As the simulator''s notification bell sounded, Su Xing nodded slightly and continued: "Draw the Golden Talent!" [Ding, congratulations on drawing the Purple Talent, ''Three Days without Hunger, Nine Meals Missed.'' Your probability of drawing a Golden Talent next time is 60%...] [''Three Days without Hunger, Nine Meals Missed'']: Purple Talent, your stomach structure is different from that of ordinary people. Eating one full meal allows you to maintain abundant physical strength for the next few days. Be aware, you already have a similar type of stomach modification talent. If accepted, it will replace the ''The Great Glutton'' talent. (Following Master De, one can endure hunger for three days and miss nine meals.)] Upon seeing the reward of this drawing, Su Xing''s vision momentarily darkened. Just as expected, it was another Purple Talent. The key point was, damn it, if Su Xing chose this talent, it wasn''t clear if it would be strengthening or weakening... ''The Great Glutton'' Talent, to be honest, could still help Su Xing strengthen his physical body and speed up the Body Refinement process by eating. It''s hard to estimate how much of a boost it provided, but it undoubtedly had some effect. However, the utility of ''Three Days without Hunger, Nine Meals Missed'' seemed not to be so significant. After all, Su Xing was already a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm and had long been capable of fasting without eating. Usually, he would eat Spirit Rice to ensure that his physical body was in the most perfect condition. "Well then, it seems this simulation''s reward isn''t of much use..." "Since that''s the case, the goal of this simulation should still be focused on enhancing my own strength..." Su Xing frowned in contemplation. He had already planned that this simulation must utilize the immersive simulation function to revisit the Luotian Meeting Instance. On one hand, it was to inquire about breakthroughs for the Integration Phase, and on the other hand, to further advance the Protective Gang Qi. Beyond that, Su Xing also had to figure out how to learn a Divine Sense attack technique. After all, to enter the Void Domain and contend with the Damned Dragon, Su Xing needed not only a strong Divine Sense but also a corresponding attack technique. "In addition, given that my Qi Refining Cultivation holds an advantage, it is time to practice the Spirit Explosion Technique... If the Spirit Explosion Technique can be perfected, even legendary peak powerhouses might not be my match!" Su Xing already had a plan for the goals of this simulation and looked towards the simulation panel. [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [You routinely refine elixirs and, utilizing the ''The Great Wisdom in Foolishness'' Talent, accumulate ten days of the Great Wisdom State.] [After ten days, you head to the Luotian Meeting Instance, successfully entering it...] Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this, and silently thought: "Use the immersive simulation function for a duration of 24 hours..." [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation function, spending 2.4 million points of energy, with a remaining balance of 9.1448 billion points.] As the simulator''s notification sounded, Su Xing''s vision shifted. Regaining his senses, Su Xing found himself within the Luotian Meeting Instance. "Good disciple, go to the back mountain... and invite Elder Shennong over!" In front of Su Xing stood an ethereal old man with youthful features and silvery hair who spoke these words. Hearing this, Su Xing nodded and said, "As you command, Master!" Leaving the great hall, Su Xing headed in the direction of the back mountain, all the while pondering continuously in his mind. "Indeed, upon entry, my identity has once again undergone a tremendous change!" "Even though I''m still Luo Xiaochuan, a disciple of Luo Tian Sect, my status is no longer that of a direct disciple, but that of a true Saint Heir of Luo Tian Sect!" Information about the Saint Heir of Luo Tian Sect flashed through Su Xing''s mind. The Saint Heir of Luo Tian Sect, also known as the Immortal Seed. As the name suggests, they are the seeds of becoming immortal... All disciples who become Immortal Seed are lofty individuals with the potential to become immortals! And the Immortal Seed is divided into three levels. Under the age of one hundred and fifty, achieving either the late stage of the Return to Void Realm or the late stage of the Void Breaking Realm can make one eligible to become a third-level Immortal Seed! Currently, Su Xing is a third-level Immortal Seed of Luo Tian Sect! A third-level Immortal Seed can enter the fifth level of the Scripture Pavilion and view Heaven Rank secret techniques! They also get extremely high-quality resources and personal guidance from the Sect Master of Luo Tian Sect! The status of a third-level Immortal Seed in Luo Tian Sect is comparable to the top ten Elders. Regrettably, for Su Xing, the cultivation resources in the Luotian Meeting Instance, no matter how plentiful, were merely illusory and of no real use. find more stories on mv|lempyr Instead, guidance from the Sect Master and access to view the Heaven Rank secret techniques in the Scripture Pavilion were truly valuable to Su Xing. Below three hundred years of age, those who achieve the early phase of the Qi Refining Body Integration Realm or the early phase of the Body Refinement Mixed Element Realm can become second-level Immortal Seeds. A second-level Immortal Seed is ranked on par with the Sect Master of Luo Tian Sect. Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They can be taken as direct disciples by the Supreme Elders of Luo Tian Sect! Chapter 346: Chapter 198: Immortal Seed Third Class, The Secret of Becoming an Immortal! (5k)_3 And the Supreme Elder of the Luo Tian Sect must be at least among the ranks of loose immortals! Loose immortals may not be equivalent to the orthodox "Nine Realms of Immortals," but they are indeed mighty cultivators who possess immortal power and have achieved an Immortal Physique. In the memory fragments Su Xing obtained this time, there was a detailed introduction about loose immortals and the "Nine Realms of Immortals." Cultivators at the peak of the Mahayana Realm can transform the vast sea-like Spiritual Power in their bodies into immortal power. And by passing the Trial of Heart refinement, they can achieve an immortal Primordial Spirit. Adding on the physical body''s Tribulation Crossing, they would attain the first realm of the "Nine Realms of Immortals," the Human Immortal Realm! The transformation of Spiritual Power into immortal power, the forging of the heart in the Trial of Heart refinement, and the Tribulation Crossing to achieve an Immortal Physique. Of these three major thresholds, the Trial of Heart refinement is the most difficult; if one fails at refining the heart, they can still become an immortal, but only a loose immortal. Loose immortals also enjoy the lifespan of immortals, but they must endure a Heavenly Tribulation once every thousand years. Failing to persevere through it would mean death. Moreover, the potential of loose immortals is far inferior to that of the orthodox immortal journey of the "Nine Realms of Heaven and Man." "Even so... to become a loose immortal is still to surpass the peerless powerhouses of the Mahayana Realm..." Su Xing sighed and murmured, "To step into a second-grade Immortal Seed means that at the very least, one can achieve the position of a loose immortal." "Above the second-grade Immortal Seed, there is the first-grade Immortal Seed..." "First-grade Immortal Seed bearers must reach the Mahayana Realm before the age of five hundred to obtain it!" "Therefore, they would have enough time to temper their mental state and walk the orthodox Great Dao of immortality!" Su Xing shook his head slightly; this Immortal Realm was still too far away for him. However, for Su Xing, a third-grade Immortal Seed was a real and substantial benefit! "After entering the Luo Tian Sect this time, my mentor is no longer the Grand Elder Niu Ruolie... but the Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect, Luo Ying!" "He is a mighty figure at the peak of the Mahayana Realm who may cross the Tribulation at any moment to ascend to the Immortal Realm!" "Furthermore, Shennong Youtian is no longer my mentor''s younger brother but my senior brother, isn''t he?" Murmured Su Xing, while feeling even more puzzled in his heart. Why, every time he entered a copy, was he this Luo Xiaochuan? And as Su Xing''s own strength continually increased, so would Luo Xiaochuan''s status? But these puzzles were questions Su Xing could not yet unravel. "Well, I might as well ask about the breakthrough of the Body Integration Realm first..." Thinking this way, Su Xing quickened his pace and headed into the back mountain. Shennong Youtian was still dressed in simple clothing, planting in the field like a farmer. Seeing Su Xing, Shennong Youtian stopped his farming work, smiled, and said to Su Xing, "Junior Brother, are you here to call me to join the Luo Tian Conference?" Su Xing nodded in response, and the two chatted as they walked toward the main hall. Read exclusives on mvlemp _y,r. Compared to the previous simulation, after becoming the Saint Heir, Su Xing''s relationship with Shennong Youtian was clearly much closer. As they almost reached the venue of the Luo Tian Conference, Su Xing asked his senior brother, "Senior brother, I have now reached the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm... How should I break through to the Integration Phase?" After hearing this, Shennong Youtian pondered for a moment before saying, "Indeed, now that you, Junior Brother, have become the Saint Heir of our Luo Tian Sect and advanced the cultivation level to the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm, it''s indeed time for you to consider advancing to the Body Integration Realm..." "But you''ve been the Saint Heir for a short time... let me explain this to you in detail." Pausing for a moment, Shennong Youtian asked in return, "What do you think is the biggest difference between Return to Void Realm cultivators and Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators?" After pondering for a moment, Su Xing answered uncertainly, "Is it the Spiritual Power... and the Divine Sense?" "The mana of the Return to Void Realm at Great Perfection is more than ten times that of the Divinity Transformation Stage at Great Perfection... The Spiritual Power within is like an unfathomable river... and the power of the spells released is even greater!" "Moreover, after the Return to Void Realm, cultivators can come into contact with the Void Domain, hence the cultivation of Divine Sense is much quicker, and the scope of Divine Sense is much stronger than that of Divinity Transformation Stage!" Shennong Youtian nodded satisfactorily upon hearing Su Xing''s answer and said, "Although it''s not entirely accurate, it''s not far off..." "You need to remember one thing, you achieved the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm before the age of a hundred, which means your aptitude is somewhat higher than mine was back then..." "Therefore, it would be best for you to cultivate your Divine Sense scope to a hundred thousand zhang, to the most subtle level... Doing so will have great benefits for your cultivation later on!" "Apart from that, the biggest difference between the Return to Void Realm and the Body Integration Phase lies in the sensitivity to nature''s spiritual energy!" "Return to Void Realm cultivators, even if they have ample Spiritual Power inside, ultimately have a limit..." "But once they reach the Body Integration Phase, they will be able to crudely draw on nature''s spiritual energy, greatly enhancing the power of their spells!" "Especially with Divine Skills... although Divinity Transformation and Return to Void Realm cultivators can practice Divine Skills, they cannot draw upon nature''s spiritual energy and their power is limited... But if one reaches the Body Integration Realm, with the help of nature''s spiritual energy, the power of Divine Skills will be multiplied many times over, or even by tens of times!" Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this, his thoughts suddenly turning to the "Three Talents Sword Technique" he had learned before, where the Earth Sword and Heavenly Sword were meant to connect with the forces of nature. Shennong Youtian seemed in good spirits and continued to explain, "By the time one reaches the Great Perfection of the Integration Phase, the Mahayana Realm, they will be able to crudely draw upon the power of space, moving a thousand miles, or even ten thousand miles, in the blink of an eye..." Pausing briefly, Shennong Youtian finally got to the crux of the matter. "Therefore, for Return to Void Realm cultivators wanting to break through to the Body Integration Realm, the key lies in the sensitivity to nature''s spiritual energy!" "The more outstanding the Spiritual Root is, the richer the surrounding nature''s spiritual energy, the greater the likelihood of sensing the patterns of nature''s spiritual energy!" "You, Junior Brother, possess a Heavenly Spirit Root, which gives you a considerable advantage in this aspect... For you to reach the Body Integration Phase, it might just take a single opportunity..." Su Xing contemplated after hearing this. With Shennong Youtian''s explanation, Su Xing had gained some insight for the time being. Consequently, Su Xing proceeded to ask, Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Senior brother, do you know any methods for divine sense attacks? Although I have reached Great Perfection in the Return to Void Realm, my use of Divine Sense is still somewhat lacking..." Chapter 347: Chapter 199: The Method of Divine Sense Assault! Shennong Youtian thought for a moment and said, "Although I have mastered the methods of Divine Sense attack, they might not be suitable for you..." "You can go to the fifth floor of the Scripture Pavilion to see, there are indeed some exceptional Divine Sense attack methods there..." Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this and did not continue to inquire. Soon, Su Xing returned to the grand hall with Shennong Youtian. Meanwhile, Su Xing''s master, Luo Ying, had been waiting for a long time. After completing his task, Su Xing did not rush to leave. Instead, he turned to his master, the Sect Master of Luo Tian Sect, Luo Ying, and asked, "Master, I have a few questions about cultivation that I would like to consult you on..." For a genius of the Saint Heir level like Su Xing, Luo Ying was obviously patient. Thus, she smiled and asked: "My good disciple, what questions do you have? Just ask!" So, Su Xing asked, "Master, it''s about problems with Origin Force Divine Skills... My Divine Skill, Protective Gang Qi, has already reached the Great Perfection level, but I feel there is still room for improvement, and I do not know how to advance it..." Su Xing roughly outlined his problem. Luo Ying nodded slightly after listening, and said, Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Protective Gang Qi, I do know of this Divine Skill, was it taught to you by Great Elder Niu Ruolie?" "Protective Gang Qi is indeed an extraordinary Origin Force Divine Skill with extremely strong defensive power..." "Generally speaking, as your realm ascends, the power of your Origin Force Divine Skills will also increase. However, if you wish to surpass the boundaries set by the creator of the Origin Force, you need to further deduce it after reaching Great Perfection... This requires an extremely high level of comprehension and luck, and it is something that one may stumble upon but cannot seek out deliberately..." Su Xing sighed after hearing this. He roughly understood what Luo Ying meant. The implication was that the limit for a Divine Skill was perfection unless one could manage to deduce it themselves. Su Xing might have a chance to deduce it if he could enter that state of enlightenment again. "Thank you, Master!" Su Xing could only take his leave for now and then hurried to the Scripture Pavilion. Entering the fifth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, Su Xing began searching for a suitable Divine Sense attack technique. After searching for a while, Su Xing was still at a loss, not knowing where to start. At this moment, the voice of Ghost Grandma came from behind Su Xing. "Child, are you looking for a Divine Sense attack method?" Ghost Grandma asked. Upon hearing this, Su Xing quickly nodded and said, "Greetings to the senior... I am indeed searching for a Divine Sense attack method..." Ghost Grandma nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "Child, if you are willing to do something for me... Come back to this instance in a year, and I can impart a Divine Sense attack method to you!" After a pause, Ghost Grandma continued to say, "In general, it is best to seek Divine Sense attack methods in the Void Domain, as they are more suitable for one''s self." "But I have a Divine Sense attack method here that integrates both offense and defense and serves as a decent transitional attack method for the early stages..." Before Ghost Grandma could finish, Su Xing eagerly said, "Disciple is willing..." Su Xing could not remember how many times Ghost Grandma had made such requests. "However, this Luotian Meeting Instance repeats a single day''s scene over and over... Even if I enter the instance again, Ghost Grandma will still forget about this matter, right?" "Certainly, Ghost Grandma must have an unfulfilled long-standing wish... If there is a chance later, perhaps I can inquire about it..." Su Xing thought to himself. And then, Ghost Grandma, standing in front of him, pointed at Su Xing''s forehead and said, "This Divine Skill attack method is called the Wishful Golden Cauldron!" "Once you master it, it can protect your body like a cauldron and lift heavy as if it were light... It is adept in both attack and defense!" Very soon, the cultivation method of the Wishful Golden Cauldron integrated into Su Xing''s mind. With closed brows, Su Xing took a long time to open his eyes again. His eyes sparkled with surprise as he earnestly said, "Thank you, senior!" After imparting the Wishful Golden Cauldron to Su Xing, Ghost Grandma seemed tired, and so she said, "Cultivate it well... and do not forget the arrangement between us." Having said that, Ghost Grandma vanished on the spot. Meanwhile, Su Xing sighed and said, "It''s a pity, this arrangement might forever remain unknown..." Thereby, Su Xing did not need to memorize the Divine Sense attack method anymore. Instead, he could continue reciting the Three Talents Sword Technique, the "Heavenly Sword" chapter. Soon, a day passed. The virtual simulation time ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. Back in the real world, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and murmured, "Not bad, the prospects for a breakthrough in the Integration Phase are visible... and I have also acquired a Divine Sense attack method!" "Divine Sense of ten thousand zhang... based on the foundation I laid during the Divinity Transformation Stage, my Divine Sense will probably far exceed that in the end!" "After all, I have to make a trip to the Void Domain to have a showdown with that Damned Dragon..." "First, I should master this Wishful Golden Cauldron. The secret technique passed down by Ghost Grandma shouldn''t be too bad..." Su Xing had already completed half of his goals in this simulation. The next step was to carry out the cultivation of the Spirit Explosion Technique and the Divine Sense attack method systematically! "Also, the cultivation of the Three Talents Sword Technique. I have already memorized most of the Heavenly Sword part. Just one more visit, and I will be able to completely remember the entire Three Talents Sword Technique." Thinking this way, Su Xing''s gaze turned toward the simulation panel.

My Divine Sense was strong enough before, so when I switched to cultivating the art of Divine Sense attacks, it naturally became twice as effective!" "This simulation suggests that I may be able to reach the minor achievement level in the art of the Wishful Gold Cauldron!" "When that time comes... even if I''m not as strong as the Damned Dragon, I should have no issues defending myself!" With these thoughts in mind, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel.

[You appreciated the profound mysteries of this art of Divine Sense attacks and cultivated it with even greater effort.] [But after reaching the introductory level, the difficulty of cultivating this secret technique slightly increased and, with the absence of the Great Wisdom State bonus, your cultivation pace somewhat slowed down.] [Thus, as days turned into years of relentless training, three years flashed by before your eyes.] [In the eighth year, your command of the Wishful Gold Cauldron became much more refined, and you discovered that by combining it with the Diagram of Wishful Visualization, the cultivation of the Wishful Gold Cauldron progressed exceptionally smoothly.] [In just three years'' time, you touched the threshold of minor achievement in the Wishful Gold Cauldron...] [In addition to cultivating the art of Divine Sense attacks, you began to explore the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [In the ninth year, you immersed yourself in the study of the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [But due to the Spirit Explosion Technique''s immense power, you dared not experiment with it in the real world.] [Hence, you selected an excellent battlefield, Demon-Subduing Pass!] [You arrived at Demon-Subduing Pass and stood atop the city wall, with Spiritual Power slowly converging in your hands.] [You kept compressing the Spiritual Power in your hands; it gathered rapidly in the palm of your hand, restless...] [Gradually, a whirlwind appeared in your hand.] [You took a deep breath and hurled the whirlwind of Spiritual Power with all your might.] [Under the guidance of Spiritual Power, the whirlwind flew over ten kilometers and hit the core of a Demon Race army.] [Boom!] [All that could be heard was an enormous explosion; the life force of thousands from the Demon Race army quickly dissipated.] [A single use of the Spirit Explosion Technique directly killed dozens of Demon Kings, seven or eight Demon Emperors... countless Grandmaster Level demonic beasts died or were injured!] [On the battlefield, the dreadful power instantly caused a commotion among the Demon Race.] [The Demon Race, possessing wisdom, also felt fear.] [Such a terrifying, wide-ranging skill caused complete disarray amongst the entire Demon Race army.] [Satisfied with the power of the Spirit Explosion Technique, you nodded and assessed the use of Spiritual Power within you.] [That one attack depleted about one-tenth of the Spiritual Power in your body.] [If you were willing, you could even infuse a third of your Spiritual Power into the Spirit Explosion Technique, and its power would be tremendously horrifying, likely even legendary fighters wouldn''t survive!] In the real world, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the text before him, muttering: "Not bad, the power of this Spirit Explosion Technique has indeed met my expectations..." "Relying on sheer Spiritual Power to crush everything, I suspect no cultivator in this Age of Dharma Decline could afford such a grand measure..." "But I am the master of my own blessed land and possess millions of Spiritual Liquids, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones... such consumption is still within my means!" Su Xing stroked his chin, continuing: "However, this power still isn''t enough..." "Next, I should find a way to infuse more Spiritual Power; if I can channel one half of all my Spiritual Power at once, coupled with the properties of tri-elemental Spiritual Power... only then will it truly be a deadly move!" Having reflected this way, Su Xing offered his opinions regarding the future study of the Spirit Explosion Technique. His eyes turned back to the simulation panel. [In the tenth year, each day was spent exploring the Spirit Explosion Technique and cultivating the art of Divine Sense attacks, the Wishful Gold Cauldron.] [Through ceaseless research, you gradually uncovered the mysteries of the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [You tried infusing the whirlwind with fire-attributed Spiritual Power and found that the fire-attributed whirlwind was far more violent.] [Because the whirlwind was so volatile, you could only infuse up to one-tenth of your Spiritual Power at a time; any more carried the risk of explosion.] [However, you discovered that the fire-based Spirit Explosion Technique was extremely powerful and came with a burning effect, its might astonishing.] [Subsequently, you experimented with infusing wood and thunder-attributed Spiritual Power.] [You found that the wood-attributed Spiritual Power whirlwind had the strongest stability, allowing for the most Spiritual Power to be infused, thereby generating a vast range of destructive force.] [The thunder-attributed Spiritual Power whirlwind, on the other hand, was released the quickest and had even higher destructive power than the fire-attributed whirlwind...] [Thus, three types of Spirit Explosion Technique each had their advantages and disadvantages.] [In the eleventh year, you advanced to a new level in the cultivation of the Wishful Gold Cauldron, reaching the minor achievement level.] [This remarkable pace of cultivation filled you with joy, indeed the Diagram of Wishful Visualization greatly benefited the cultivation of this art of Divine Sense attacks!] Chapter 349: Chapter 199: The Method of Divine Sense Assault!_3 [After achieNovelFireing minor success, the small cauldron formed by your divine sense had greater offensive power, and its defensive capabilities also greatly enhanced, truly achieving an integrated offense and defense.] [You had wanted to enter the Void Domain after the minor success of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization and have a battle with that damned dragon.] [But after much consideration, you decided to play it safe once more and see if you could cultivate this offensive technique to the Mahayana Level!] [Thus, day after day of cultivating your divine sense offensive technique and researching the Spirit Explosion Technique, three years slowly passed...] [In the fourteenth year, you began to further research the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [After several years of research, you were now able to channel nearly half of your spiritual power into the Spirit Explosion Technique; if you channeled thunder attribute spiritual power, even a legendary peak expert would peel a layer of skin if not killed!] [You had a premonition that if you could research the Spirit Explosion Technique to the Mahayana Level, even legendary peak experts could be instantly killed!] [But at this point, your research into the power of the Spirit Explosion Technique had hit a bottleneck, requiring you to invest more time and energy.] [During your daily research, you had a sudden inspiration one day: what would happen if you channeled wood attribute spiritual power into a fire attribute whirlwind?] [According to your hypothesis, wood feeds fire, so the power of the wood attribute whirlwind should greatly increase the power of the fire attribute Spirit Explosion Technique.] [With this idea in mind, you began intensive research.] [But you discovered that channeling wood attribute spiritual energy into a fire attribute whirlwind resulted in an extremely unstable phenomenon.] [It required extremely precise control over spiritual power and a high level of proficiency to complete.] Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [If you were not careful, the explosive power of the Spirit Explosion Technique was equivalent to a hydrogen bomb''s explosion!] [And for such a terrifying research, naturally, you would not choose to conduct it within the confines of the Spirit Field Cave.] [Therefore, you sought out an excellent experimental venue the Beast Taming Realm!] [In the fifteenth year, you entered the Beast Taming Realm, the Slaughter Battlefield.] [There, on the Slaughter Battlefield, you fought while researching the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [If the control of spiritual power failed, you would throw it far away by hand; even if a legendary level demonic beast was hit by the blast, they would have a slim chance of survival...] [So, with such devoted research, another three years slowly passed...] [In the eighteenth year, after thousands of attempts, your research on the Spirit Explosion Technique gradually perfected, and you stepped into the Mahayana Level!] [You could continuously channel fire attribute spiritual power, controlling the formation of a fire attribute whirlwind... Afterward, you could then channel a strand of wood attribute spiritual energy!] [The infusion of the wood attribute spiritual power doubled the power of the fire attribute Spirit Explosion Technique!] [With just this Spirit Explosion Technique, you could look down upon all enemies at the legendary stage, boasting invincibility beneath only the Great Emperor!] [But whether the Spirit Explosion Technique could threaten Great Emperor level experts, you admittedly were not certain...] [After all, Great Emperor level experts crushed those at the legendary level; if you could achieve Great Perfection in both the Return to Void and Broken Void Realms, and learn the Earth Sword, perhaps you could contend with them.] [In the nineteenth year, after achieving mastery over the Spirit Explosion Technique, you devoted more time to cultivating the divine sense offensive technique.] [With the blessing of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization, your cultivation of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization grew increasingly profound.] [You left the Beast Taming Realm and returned to Blue Star to focus solely on the secret methods of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization.] [Thus, several more years slowly passed.] [In the twenty-third year, after years of relentless effort, your cultivation of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization was nearing the Mahayana Level, just one step away from perfection.] [You decided to press on, continuing your seclusion to make an early breakthrough to the Mahayana Level!] [In the twenty-fourth year, Heaven finally rewarded your painstaking efforts, and your cultivation of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization reached the Mahayana Level.] [Mahayana Level Diagram of Wishful Visualization, an integrated offense and defense, the solidity of which had improved yet another level from before.] [With the divine sense offensive technique in hand, you had the confidence that even if you couldn''t win against the dragon, you would at least not be at too much of a disadvantage.] [Mainly because the divine sense strength of the dragon was also exceptionally formidable, presumably spanning over sixty thousand zhang... a result of its thousand years of cultivation in the Void Domain.] Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this and murmured, "Ultimately, I have completed all the objectives of this simulation... With the Spirit Explosion Technique together with the divine sense offensive technique, my cultivation level has not increased, but my combat capabilities have definitely greatly improved!" "Moreover, after mastering the Spirit Explosion Technique and divine sense offensive technique, I am faced with two choices..." Su Xing narrowed his eyes; with the power he had in the simulator, there was actually one more year for him to make some attempts. The first attempt would be to enter the Void Domain to continue exploring; although there were some risks, the problem shouldn''t be too great. The second was to venture into the replicas from the era of decline, the Xianwu Era, and explore the relics of the Five Elements Mountain! experience NovelFire,le,mp,yr content After a moment of hesitation, Su Xing decided to go into the Five Elements Mountain relics. "The Void Domain mainly enhances divine sense... I have already decided in this simulation to take out the Spirit Explosion Technique and divine sense offensive technique, so enhancing my divine sense would be of no use..." "However, in the Xianwu Era relics within the Five Elements Mountain, that Five Elements True Master should have the cultivation level of both Great Perfection in the Return to Void Realm and Mahayana Level in the Broken Void Realm..." "Although his cultivation level surpasses mine substantially, with the Spirit Explosion Technique and Protective Gang Qi, I may not be without a fighting chance..." Pausing for a moment, Su Xing murmured, "Of course, the most crucial point is that within the Five Elements Mountain relics, there is a very high likelihood of finding the Five Elements synergy technique!" Thinking this, a desire appeared in Su Xing''s eyes. The Five Elements synergy technique, if it could be mastered by him, could possibly greatly increase both his cultivation speed and the power of the Spirit Explosion Technique! "So, when the last year comes... I will still make a trip to the Five Elements Mountain relics!" Chapter 350: Chapter 200: The Sorrows of the Spirit Withering Era, The Fallen Genius! (5k) Su Xing thought as such, his gaze turning toward the simulation panel. "After the Spirit Explosion Technique and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel Technique achieved a great level of mastery, you began formulating a plan to enter the Immortal Martial Era Instance.] [You didn''t rush into the instance; instead, you planned to steadily cultivate one last time to enhance your own strength.] Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the twenty-fifth year, you knew that Demon-Subduing Pass would soon fall, and the Human Race couldn''t hold out much longer.] [Thus, you chose to enter the Immortal Martial Era Instance and leave behind some useful information.] [You entered the Five Elements Mountain relics.] [You traveled through the lengthy underground burial passages, and quickly your Divine Sense detected a potent aura ahead.] [Instantly cautious, you knew it was that undying being, the Five Elements True Master!] [The Five Elements True Master might not be as powerful as True Person Wan Mu, but as a cultivator who had achieved Great Perfection in both the Return to Void and Broken Void realms, you still weren''t completely certain you could defeat him.] [You carefully erected your Protective Gang Qi and conjured your Origin Force Armor.] [With the dual defenses, you felt somewhat more secure in your heart.] [Silently you activated the Spirit Explosion Technique and ran toward the direction of the Five Elements True Master.] [Fiery hot fire-element Spiritual Energy compressed in your hands, trembling slightly, releasing a terrifying aura.] [You soon found the Five Elements True Master, and he discovered you as well!] [He launched an attack toward you without hesitation, and you decisively injected the last trace of Wood Spiritual Power into the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [Seeing the Five Elements True Master quickly approaching, you didn''t hesitate to throw the successfully condensed Spirit Explosion Technique.] [In the next second, you decisively turned and entered the Spirit Field Cave.] [You stayed in the Spirit Field Cave for a quarter of an hour, consumed nearly half a bottle of Spiritual Liquid, fully restored your Spiritual Power, and then left once more, returning to the relics of the Five Elements Sect.] [Indeed, as you had anticipated, much of the ancient tomb''s passageways had collapsed, the tomb''s protective formations were damaged under the Spirit Explosion Technique, and the whole tomb was at risk of collapsing completely.] [Boulders filled the tunnel, with aftershocks occasionally emanating from the ground, but you were no longer concerned about that and instead quickly extended your Divine Sense throughout the relics.] [With your Divine Sense, you quickly located the Five Elements True Master buried under the rubble.] [From the aura detected by your Divine Sense, the Five Elements True Master seemed to have sustained serious injuries but showed no signs of a life-threatening condition...] [Boom!] [In the next second, the Five Elements True Master hurled off the boulders on him, transforming into a terrifying blur as he attacked you once again.] [The massive impact struck your Protective Gang Qi, fine cracks appearing on its surface, but you managed to block the Five Elements True Master''s sneak attack without any harm.] [You activated your Spiritual Energy, quickly dodging the subsequent attacks of the Five Elements True Master.] [At the same time, you also saw the miserable state of the Five Elements True Master.] [His body was enveloped in red and black mist, his chest was partially collapsed from the impact of the Spirit Explosion Technique, and his body was covered in scorch marks.] [Still, despite such severe injuries, the Five Elements True Master showed no signs of being fatally wounded, his Spiritual Power was just chaotically disturbed, and his strength must have slightly dropped...] [Black blood eerily flowed from the Five Elements True Master''s body, slowly mending his damaged flesh.] [You were astounded by the Five Elements True Master''s formidable strength, as he still possessed such combat power even after being ambushed by your Spirit Explosion Technique.] [But you also understood that what awaited you was going to be a fierce battle, so you activated your Origin Force and engaged in close combat with the Five Elements True Master.] [The battle was about to erupt, the horrific aftershocks from the fight making the relics'' protective formations even more unstable...] Su Xing frowned slightly as he read: "Indeed, one must not underestimate the prodigies of this world!" "With my Return to Void Realm at Great Perfection, plus the Broken Void Realm quintuple...now that I have also mastered the Spirit Explosion Technique, I must be nearly invincible below the rank of Great Emperor..." "But this Five Elements True Master, although he practiced both Qi and physical refinement, his strength must have declined after becoming an undying being... And yet, after taking a hit from my Spirit Explosion Technique, he still has the power to fight!" Surprised, Su Xing began to contemplate. In Su Xing''s judgment, the Five Elements True Master, now an undying being, should no longer feel pain, no longer the same as ordinary life. Plus, the mysterious black blood allowed the Five Elements True Master to quickly recover from injuries and regain stamina... "Truly difficult to deal with, but if it comes to a head-on fight, I should have the power to stand a chance!" Su Xing didn''t hesitate, his eyes once again turning toward the simulation panel.

The terrifying noise instantaneously turned the entire ancient tomb into a battleground, the defensive array within the ruins was blasted open by the aftershocks of the spells colliding, creating huge cavities, and the entire tomb began to shake incessantly.] [You knew in your heart that if this continued, the ancient tomb might inevitably succumb to collapse.] [Thus, you took out a bottle of Spiritual Liquid, replenished your depleted Spiritual Energy, and launched an even fiercer offensive against the Five Elements True Master.] [But this Five Elements True Master, worthy of being one of the top three peerless geniuses of the Xianwu Era thousands of years ago,] [had achieved a profound level of mastery over the Five Elements spells.] [The Earth Type spells were hugely defensive, and your assaults were mostly blocked by them.] [Metal Type spells were especially sharp, and a sword formed of metal Spiritual Power could actually contend with your Ink Ice Sword for a short while.] [Wood Type spells healed injuries.

"Five Elements Mutually Generating Method... Is it truly so mystical?" "This Five Elements True Master, with this divine skill and secret technique, is probably almost invincible below the Body Integration Realm..." "Luckily, he has become a living dead, and was also severely injured by my preemptive attack... Otherwise, I might not be his match!" Su Xing felt a sense of emotion. Indeed, extraordinary geniuses who emerged during the era of waning Spiritual Power, not one was ordinary, all were dazzling talents who dominated an era! "But the Five Elements spells... theoretically, are supposed to require the ability to absorb Five Elements Spiritual Energy to be released..." "Could it be that this Five Elements True Master possessed a Mixed Spirit Root?" No sooner had Su Xing finished his thought than he shook his head slightly, dismissing the possibility. How could a Mixed Spirit Root possibly advance to Return to Void Great Perfection in less than a millennium? "No doubt, this Five Elements True Master also has a variant Spiritual Root... At the least, a True Spiritual Root! Or maybe even a Heavenly Spirit Root..." Su Xing pondered. He felt increasingly that the Five Elements Mutually Generating Method was extraordinary, such a secret technique, even in the Ancient Era, would likely be a treasure capable of being the pride of an entire sect. And the fact that the Five Elements True Master was able to develop this Five Elements Mutually Generating Method showed his exceptional talent! "I must get my hands on the Five Elements Mutually Generating Method!" Su Xing resolved in his heart, looking towards the simulation panel. [As the Five Elements True Master''s injuries worsened gradually and his internal Spiritual Power depleted without being replenished...] [You increasingly dominated the battle!] [After thousands more rounds of fierce fighting, your advantage slowly turned into a victory, and you prepared to deliver a decisive blow to kill the Five Elements True Master!] [You forced the Five Elements True Master back with a sword thrust, then extended your palm, from which Spiritual Power surged out, compressing...

(5k)_3 [Hatred...] [After hearing this word, you fell silent. In the moments before the Five Elements True Master died, you indeed sensed his overwhelming hatred...] [You knew it wasn''t you he hated.] [But rather he hated the sadness of being born so exceptionally talented and perceptive during an era when Spiritual Energy was depleted...] [He hated the betrayal by his close friend, True Person Wan Mu, and the tragic fate of becoming a living dead...] [The breath of the Five Elements True Master slowly faded, and a peerless genius who once dazzled an era thousands of years ago finally died...] [You didn''t have too many negative feelings towards the Five Elements True Master; he was just another sad figure who died under the mighty current of the era.] [So you collected the body of the Five Elements True Master, preparing to find a geomantically auspicious place to bury him.] [Afterwards, taking advantage of the fact that the ruins had not yet completely collapsed, you went to the core area of the ancient tomb.] [You pushed open the bronze stone coffin and found a storage ring inside it...] [Sweeping your Divine Sense across the core area and confirming there was nothing missed, you quickly left the Five Elements Sect''s ruins.] [After you left the ruins of the Five Elements Sect, it completely crumbled into destruction.] [Once the ruins'' Formation was damaged, the remnants of the Five Elements Sect disappeared into the spatial turbulence, its whereabouts unknown...] [You rapidly left the Immortal Martial Era Instance. After the fierce battle with the Five Elements True Master, your body was seriously injured, and you needed to calm your mind for recuperation.] [Thus, for the following three months, you stayed comfortably within the Spirit Field Cave, recovering from your injuries.] [Taking advantage of this time for recuperation, you also examined the storage ring you obtained from the Five Elements True Master.] [In the storage ring, there weren''t the vast amounts of Spirit Stones you had imagined, but instead, there were many materials and treasures for setting up Formations.] [Apart from these treasures, you found two very important Jade Slips.] [One was the Formation methods that the Five Elements Sect had passed down for ten thousand years, the Dao of Arrays...] [And the Divine Arts improved by the Five Elements True Master himself, the Five Elements Generating Technique!] [The records in these two Jade Slips were of great benefit to you!] [The Five Elements Generating Technique could allow the compatible Spiritual Energies to work together, achieving an effect where one plus one is greater than two.] [Cultivators with a compatible Spiritual Root not only gained increased power when releasing their techniques but also experienced a slight increase in the speed of their cultivation.] [Moreover, after you learned the basics of the Dao of Arrays, the Five Elements Sect''s Dao of Arrays left behind was a huge treasure for you; this Formation manual was profound and mysterious, offering you much to study for a long time...] Su Xing''s expression was a mix of complexity and relief after seeing this. "Living under the declining era, with Spiritual Energy depleted... Cultivators no longer enjoy the glorious years of the past..." "Under the trend of this era, the most tragic are those geniuses with shining talents." "If born during the golden age of cultivation, ascendancy to immortality might have been within reach..." "But now, they can only turn into a handful of yellow earth..." Su Xing sighed, feeling a kinship in sorrow for the fallen. But Su Xing quickly perked up, murmuring to himself: "However, with a simulation tool like this against the heavens, I will surely have a glimpse of the Immortal Dao..." "Once I kill that terrifying behemoth, the Three Thousand Worlds will be mine to roam freely!" A hint of anticipation glimmered in Su Xing''s eyes. "As for the present... This Five Elements Generating Technique and the Dao of Arrays could indeed be quite useful to me; I''ll see how much they are priced at after the simulation is over..." Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze toward the simulation panel. [You buried the Five Elements True Master in a picturesque mountain, experiencing the passing of a forebear True Immortal and the cruelty of the cultivation path.] [Your state of mind has improved, your determination to seek the Dao has become even more resolute...] [One day, Demon-Subduing Pass was breached, with the Human Race on the brink of eradication.] [Months later, a colossal beast descended and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp...] [You were swallowed by the beast into its belly...] [You did not die immediately.] [You held on for a long time...] [You were killed by the spatial turbulence...] [Your Divine Soul was completely extinguished.] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief.

"With my current strength, after mastering the Spirit Explosion Technique, I am nearly invincible beneath the Great Emperors..." "But I need to be cautious of those talents from the Cultivation World''s past; if the Five Elements True Master was this difficult to deal with... True Person Wan Mu is likely to be even more terrifying!" After pausing, Su Xing continued to ponder. "As for the Five Elements ruins, exploring now still carries some risks..." "Once I reach the Body Integration Realm, I will go explore the Five Elements ruins; I should be able to easily obtain the Five Elements Generating Technique and the Dao of Arrays..." Su Xing nodded slightly, then pulled out his notebook to jot down this goal. Afterwards, Su Xing turned his attention to the list of rewards for this simulation. [Three Days Without Food, Nine Meals Missed]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, a slight increase in current alchemy comprehension, priced at 2 million energy points. [Spirit Explosion Technique (Great Achievement)]: Developed by Su Xing through his research, a Divine Art that unleashes immense power through the extreme compression of Spiritual Power. It creates astonishing effects after the explosion, especially when combined with different attributes of Spiritual Power, comparable to a minor Divine Skill, but it consumes extensive Spiritual Power and requires further refinement. Priced at 150 million energy points. [Ruyi Golden Cauldron Technique (Great Achievement)]: A Divine Sense offense and defense technique. The Ruyi Golden Cauldron makes one''s Divine Sense as sturdy as a cauldron, good for both offense and defense. It is considered superior among Divine Sense offensive techniques, although it cannot compare to ancient Divine Sense techniques. Its advantage is that it can be used as a transitional technique and does not conflict with other Divine Sense techniques. Priced at 150 million energy points.

Read today on NovelFire _em _pyr. [Dao of Arrays]: A thousand-year-old ancient manual on Formation from the Five Elements Sect, perfected by countless Cultivators, leading directly to the essence of the Great Dao of Formations. Priced at 200 million. Chapter 353: Chapter 201: First Golden Legendary Talent, Innate Sword Body! (5k) Su Xing looked at the reward options before him and pondered for a moment. First of all, the talent and alchemy experience could be ruled out. The Hunger for Nine Meals talent would override Su Xing''s Glutton King talent, which was a pure negative reinforcement. And the alchemy experience was also ignored by Su Xing. "As for the Five Elements Mutual Generation Method and the Dao of Five Elements Arrays... although they''re good, the price is a bit steep," "When my strength is sufficient, I will personally go to the Immortal Martial Era Instance and seize these two jade slips, which is clearly more cost-effective," After a brief thought, Su Xing decisively said, "I choose to take out the Mahayana Level Spirit Explosion Technique and the Mahayana Level Wishful Visualization Technique!" As his words fell, the prompt sound from the simulator echoed in his ears. [You have successfully taken out the Spirit Explosion Technique (Mahayana Level), spending 150 million energy, remaining energy is 764.48 million points.] [You have successfully taken out the Wishful Golden Cauldron Secret Method (Mahayana Level), spending 150 million energy, remaining energy is 614.48 million points.] As the simulator''s prompt sound came to an end, two mysterious forces entered Su Xing''s body. A flood of memories instantly surged into Su Xing''s mind. These memory fragments were all about the Spirit Explosion Technique and the Wishful Golden Cauldron Method. Su Xing closed his eyes to concentrate, carefully digesting the memories in his mind. A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile on his lips. Su Xing took a deep breath, frantically mobilizing the spiritual power within his body. Spiritual power gathered in the palm of his hand, continuously collapsing, compressing, and finally condensing into a vortex. This was fire attribute spiritual power; afterward, Su Xing tried to add a wisp of wood attribute spiritual power. When the wood and fire attributes fused together, Su Xing clearly sensed the power of the Spirit Explosion Technique greatly increase. "As expected of a divine skill that can seriously injure peak Broken Void Realm cultivators... its power is indeed terrifying!" Su Xing murmured. To prevent accidents, Su Xing then reined in the spiritual power again. The spiritual power cyclone in his palm slowly dissipated and finally merged back into Su Xing''s body. "Good, with my current strength, I can at most mobilize half of my spiritual power into the Spirit Explosion Technique... If the spell is canceled afterward, the majority of the spiritual power can be returned, significantly increasing its practicality..." "However, I presume as my cultivation level further increases, the consumption of this Spirit Explosion Technique will probably decrease..." Su Xing shook his head slightly. Theoretically, the more spiritual power one can mobilize, the greater the power of the Spirit Explosion Technique! For instance, if Su Xing could mobilize half of his spiritual power into the Spirit Explosion Technique at the Body Integration Realm, the power would probably be more than double what it was at that moment! "Next, there''s the Divine Sense offensive technique..." With a thought, Su Xing released his Divine Sense again. This time, however, Su Xing tried to condense his Divine Sense. Eventually, Su Xing''s Divine Sense condensed into a small golden cauldron. With a thought, the small cauldron smashed towards a large boulder in the distance. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Boom! With a loud noise, the towering boulder turned to dust in an instant. Su Xing''s eyebrows twitched as he murmured: "The Divine Sense offensive technique is not only greatly useful against Divine Sense, but it can even affect reality!" Discover new worlds on NovelFire-mpyr. "Just with the power of Divine Sense alone, I''m probably not inferior to an ordinary Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, considering it a pleasant surprise. It also made Su Xing realize that when Divine Sense is strong enough, it indeed has the ability to affect reality! "Now that I have learned the Divine Sense offensive technique, entering the Void Domain shouldn''t pose too much of a problem..." "However, I still need to further strengthen my Divine Sense, as it''s prerequisite for advancing to the Body Integration Realm." "Besides, it''s also time to enhance my Broken Void cultivation..." Su Xing pondered briefly. Clearly, advancing to the Body Integration Realm was not going to happen overnight; thus, improving the efficiency of his Body Refinement Cultivation Level was the better approach at the present stage. He vaguely had a plan for his next simulation. In the following week, Su Xing continued to refine elixirs as usual, accumulating more energy for the simulator. Occasionally, he would take some time to read through Damned Zong''s diary, merely as a way to pass the time. As for cultivating in the real world, it was absolutely out of the question for Su Xing. After all, priority was given to acquiring energy, and then cultivating in the simulator, which was hundreds or thousands of times more cost-effective... Thus, the week passed quickly. In that week, Su Xing refined a total of five thousand elixirs. And as the spiritual energy in the Spirit Field Cave became increasingly dense, all the spirit plants and animals in the entire Spirit Field Cave underwent subtle changes... First was the large batch of Spirit Rice that Su Xing had planted. Su Xing could clearly feel that the current Spirit Rice was much more plump than before, with the Spirit Grains containing an even more abundant amount of spiritual energy. The effects were probably much better than before! "Tsk tsk, this quality of Spirit Rice has probably reached the level of mid-grade Spirit Rice... not to mention Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, even cultivators with a Golden Core and Nascent Soul would greatly benefit from consuming it long-term!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction as the improvement in the quality of the Spirit Rice was beneficial and harmless to him. Beyond the changes to the Spirit Rice, Other spirit plants, such as the Divine Power Vines and Dragon Spirit Flowers, began to reproduce, sprouting several dozen new spirit medicine sprouts. Su Xing looked at the newly grown spirit medicines and pondered. "If spirit medicines are continuously consumed without planting new ones, they can easily be exhausted... For sustainable development, breeding new spirit medicines is a must!" After Su Xing obtained Damned Zong''s storage bag, he had already planted some of the spirit medicine seeds within it. Although it was still a long way from maturity, planting earlier meant harvesting earlier. Also, Su Xing would occasionally go to the professionals'' market to look for some aged herbs such as ginseng, angelica, and so on. He would select those with good characteristics and potential to be nurtured into spirit medicines. Chapter 354: Chapter 201: The First Golden Legendary Talent, Innate Sword Body! (5k)_2 "In ordinary cultivation lands, to plant a single piece of Spiritual Medicine, it takes at least several decades, and often hundreds or even thousands of years... This means that cultivating Spiritual Medicine requires a lot of effort and is extremely difficult to grow on a large scale..." "But in this medium-grade Spirit Field Cave, the growth rate of Spirit Plants is more than ten times faster than in ordinary lands rich in Spiritual Energy!" "Moreover, with the Spirit Gathering Array and the multiple enhancements from a Descendant of Shennong''s talents... plant the Spiritual Medicine that would normally take a hundred years, and I fear it can mature in just four or five years." "If one is willing to invest energy and use Spiritual Power to hasten the maturity, it may be even quicker..." Su Xing contemplated. Because of the uniqueness of his Spirit Field Cave and his own talents. This allowed Su Xing to mass produce aged Spiritual Medicine. I can''t say for sure about other types, but I can definitely grow centuries-old Spiritual Medicine in one cultivation cycle. The only problem now is that I don''t have enough seeds... These Spiritual Medicine seeds are mostly hard to obtain, used one less one. Su Xing''s mind stirred, suddenly thinking of a special method from the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique. The way of the Spirit Bees! The so-called way of the Spirit Bees involves raising some Spirit Bees in the Spirit Field. These Spirit Bees not only do not attack their master, but they also pollinate on a regular basis, helping the Spiritual Medicine to propagate. Moreover, every once in a while, Su Xing could harvest the Spirit Honey produced by the Spirit Bees. This Spirit Honey is also a main ingredient in some Elixirs. Or you can directly consume the Spirit Honey. Not only does it taste excellent, but it can also be beneficial to cultivation. "Maybe I should capture some bees and try to cultivate some Spirit Bees?" Su Xing contemplated. With the foundation of the Spirit Field Cave as it is now, if I intermittently feed the bees with Spiritual Liquid, In as little as a month or up to three to five months, some of the ordinary bees may transform into Spirit Bees. "This method is worth a try..." Su Xing nodded slightly, then continued to look around the Spirit Field Cave. Besides the changes in the Spirit Plants, there were two types of Spirit Pets in Su Xing''s Spirit Field Cave that had undergone significant transformations. The first was the Spirit Chickens raised in the chicken coop. After several generations of breeding, Su Xing''s Spirit Chickens have long since surpassed the category of ordinary chickens. It''s no exaggeration to say that based solely on their fighting ability, these Spirit Chickens could take down bronze-level professionals. And ever since the spiritual intelligence of the Spirit Chickens grew higher, Su Xing rarely consumes their meat. It''s just that he still eats a few Spirit Chicken eggs from time to time, to enjoy some rich food. "Tsk tsk... with enough time to breed them and the aid of heavenly treasures, who knows, maybe the Spirit Chickens will really turn into phoenixes..." Su Xing shook his head slightly and moved forward a few steps. Soon, a more than ten-meter-long creature as thick as a thigh affectionately nuzzled Su Xing''s leg. Su Xing brought out some Spirit Rice to feed it, and the creature opened its mouth to eat. "Not bad, you''ve been working hard in the fields recently. Keep it up!" Su Xing said approvingly as he patted the creature''s head. The Earth Dragon... no, it should be said that the creature was an Earth Dragon in its infancy! With the continuous increase of Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Cave, this Earth Dragon was almost ready to transform. And because of the presence of this Earth Dragon, Su Xing almost didn''t need to take care of the Spirit Field himself. Pests or weeds, they were all food for the Earth Dragon. Your next chapter awaits at m,vlempyr. Moreover, as the Earth Dragon rolled through the soil, it often made the Spirit Field more fertile. "Everything is developing in a good direction... my Spirit Field Cave now rivals the caves of some powerful cultivators..." Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. Spiritual Liquid, Spirit Rice, Spirit Chickens... Gathering Spirit Flowers, Elixirs... This area of about five hundred mu of Spirit Field provided many conveniences for Su Xing. Even in a cultivation boom, the caves of some Mahayana-level, or even scattered immortals, might not be as practical as Su Xing''s Spirit Field Cave. After all, these tens of thousands of Gathering Spirit Flowers are not something that ordinary cultivators can lay their hands on. "The only thing that makes me shudder is this thatched cottage... but how does the saying go? ''This humble abode, where virtue resides... ''" "This thatched cottage is just a place to stay!" After pausing, Su Xing actually had another vision for the Spirit Field Cave in his heart. "Five hundred mu is still somewhat small for a Spirit Field... it would be better if the area could be a bit larger!" Su Xing thought to himself. Without a doubt, a larger size of the cave has certain advantages. For example, being able to plant more Spirit Plants, raise more Spirit Pets... But if the area is too large, the concentration of Spiritual Energy within a certain area might become diluted, and the grade of the Spirit Field Cave might fall from a medium-grade Cave to a low-grade Cave. At that time, Su Xing would need to further increase the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the cave. "Everything is moving in a favorable direction..." From the initial few dozen mu of barren land to now, he had cultivated hundreds of mu of Spirit Field, turning it into a medium-grade Cave. Su Xing was filled with a sense of achievement. After reflecting for a moment, Su Xing glanced at the time and, seeing that it was about right, he took the Elixirs and prepared to find Jin Congxue. After disguising himself and concealing his presence, Su Xing arrived within the villa. Today, Jin Congxue wore a blue long dress and her hair was tied in a bun, making her look especially cute. Su Xing skillfully sat opposite Jin Congxue and started to chat. The two of them talked and laughed for a while before they began to discuss serious matters. "Ah Xing, here''s this week''s goods..." Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "And those Fourth-Rank Special Metals you gave me before have also been completely purified..." Jin Congxue handed over a Storage Ring. Su Xing received it and simultaneously passed the new week''s Elixirs. Jin Congxue paused, hesitated for a moment, and said: &"There''s news that in two months, the Great Xia Military will auction off a second-order Special Metal mine replica..." Chapter 355: Chapter 201: The First Golden Legendary Talent, Innate Sword Body! (5k)_3 ``` "Those attending the auction will at least be in charge of first-rate commercial firms, should we give it a try when the time comes?" sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. His eyes lighting up upon hearing this, Su Xing thought that a second-order rare metal mine instance was far more precious than a first-order one! A second-order rare metal mine instance could produce energy in a month that was probably equivalent to what four or five first-order instances could yield. So Su Xing nodded and said eagerly, "We''ll make our utmost effort to secure the mining rights to this mine instance!" After hearing this, Jin Congxue nodded but still hesitated as she said, "Second-order rare metal mines are extremely precious... Our competitors are almost all those top-tier commercial firms, I''m not very confident that we can win the bid..." After pausing, Jin Congxue continued, "However, I''ve heard that the Great Xia Military has expressed their need for items that can be of use on the battlefield at Demon-Subduing Pass... If we could supply such items, perhaps we could put up a fight..." Nodding in agreement, Su Xing murmured, "Items for use on the battlefield, huh..." Su Xing roughly understood what Jin Congxue meant. Demon-Subduing Pass has always been of utmost importance to the Human Race, and clearly, what the Great Xia Military needs is not merely a legendary or even mythical piece of equipment. But rather items that can truly play a key role on the battlefield. Or to say, items that could enhance the overall strength of the Great Xia warriors. Thinking this, an idea came to Su Xing, and he thought to himself, "Fasting Pills... It''s time for them to make an appearance!" Indeed, Su Xing currently had several trump cards up his sleeve, but few were suitable for public release. Whether it was Dragon Spirit Pills, Essence-Nourishing Pills, and so on, none were appropriate for mass release. In comparison, the Fasting Pill would stir much less commotion. After all, this was merely an elixir that could ensure warriors wouldn''t feel hunger for a long period. As Su Xing mutter to himself, "After improving the quality of the Spirit Rice, the effects of the Fasting Pills should also be enhanced..." With that thought, Su Xing intended to try it out in the subsequent simulations. Bearing that in mind, Su Xing said to Jin Congxue, "Leave the auction to me... I''ll provide you with enough chips, and we must secure this second-order rare metal mine!" Su Xing said with a certain gravitas. After discussing serious matters, the two exchanged a few more words. Then, disguising his appearance and concealing his presence, Su Xing left the villa. Returning to the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing converted this week''s goods into simulation energy. Now, the goods provided by Jin Congxue every week nearly reached a billion simulation energy. Plus the 500 cubic meters of rare metal he had before, Su Xing''s pure simulation energy income for the week reached close to one billion and fifty million! Taking into account the energy left over from previous simulations, the total was about 1.66 billion and 60 million energy! Looking at the new high in the simulator''s energy, Su Xing nodded with satisfaction and exclaimed, "Indeed, if you want to get rich quickly, you need that stroke of unexpected fortune!" "With more than 1.66 billion energy, at least until I reach the Integration Phase... I shouldn''t have to worry about running out of simulation energy!" Su Xing murmured to himself, then turned his attention to the simulation panel. The simulation time had cooled down, and Su Xing decisively prepared to simulate. On November 4th, 2024 of the New Era, Su Xing began a new round of simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 6,000 points of energy, remaining energy is 1.66 billion 6388 million points, remaining simulation count is unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing the Purple Talent costs 100,000 points of energy, drawing the Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million energy, do you wish to draw?] Without any hesitation, Su Xing said, "Draw the Golden Quality Talent!" [Ding, congratulations! You have drawn the Golden Legendary Talent: Innate Sword Body. Base probability bonus reset to zero, your next chance of drawing a Golden Quality Talent is 10%...] "As expected, another guaranteed talent... Wait, what?..." "Holy shit, a Golden Quality Talent, and I drew it just like that?!" Su Xing, habitually ready to complain about the simulator''s draw rates, was taken aback when he actually drew a Golden Quality Talent. After all, the chance of drawing a Golden Quality Talent for Su Xing this time was only sixty percent... He had assumed that with the simulator''s usual luck, it might take until eighty or ninety percent. "Tsk tsk, Innate Sword Body! Indeed... I truly am the perfect material for swordsmanship!" Su Xing''s face was practically beaming with joy. This Innate Sword Body, as a Golden Talent, looked to be a talent that could help Su Xing accelerate his training! Furthermore, Su Xing had once drawn a Purple Talent called Sword Obsession, and that effect was already grotesquely powerful. But now, with a Golden Quality Sword Dao talent, he wondered how terrifying the boost would be. "Tsk tsk... let me check out this talent''s introduction!" Su Xing, excited, looked at the introduction of Innate Sword Body. [Innate Sword Body]: Golden Legendary Talent, you were born to practice swordsmanship. You can swiftly grasp most sword techniques and moves, even the most difficult Sword Dao classics are something you can quickly get to grips with and learn... You have a predestined full compatibility with every type of sword. When you wield the sword in your hand, where your heart directs, enemies shall be sliced. Su Xing''s eyes lit up upon reading the talent introduction. Beyond a talent boost for sword training, with this talent, Su Xing would be fundamentally fully talented with all types of swords. Even with a brand-new sword, he wouldn''t need any period for adjustment or adaptation in his hands. "Nice, nice!" Touching his chin, Su Xing murmured, "It seems I need to adjust my plans for this simulation..." Su Xing was initially indecisive about whether to enter the Void Domain to practice the Diagram of Wishful Visualization to enhance his Divine Sense or practice the Earth Sword chapter of the Three Talents Sword Technique. But now, having drawn this talent, Su Xing was no longer in a dilemma. Fortunately, he will first practice swordsmanship to experience just how powerful this Golden Legendary Talent is. "Tsk tsk, if I can perfect the Earth Sword, coupled with the strength of the Broken Void Realm at Great Perfection... I might have a shot against an Emperor Level warrior!" Chapter 374: Chapter 208: Blood Immortal Scripture, The Secret of the Blood Demon Realm! (5k) Su Xing''s brows furrowed tighter as he saw the simulated text. "No need for Spiritual Energy, no cultivation of the Spiritual Root... to cultivate just by relying on blood vitality?" "This... this is surely a defiance of the natural order!" After a pause, Su Xing voiced his confusion: "However, who exactly is the Blood Immortal... to truly create such a heaven-defying Cultivation Technique, could he really be an Immortal?" "Could it be... the Blood Immortal, is none other than that Damned Dragon?" Su Xing''s heart tightened, but he quickly shook his head in denial. "Impossible, with the Damned Dragon''s Cultivation Level at the Return to Void Realm, he could not have created such a heaven-defying Cultivation Technique!" "For one to create such a Technique, undoubtedly their Dao Comprehension is profound, at least at the level of an Immortal, or even higher!" Although Su Xing did not know the Cultivation Level needed to fully comprehend the Great Dao, he imagined it must be something beyond the reach of an Immortal. Even ordinary Immortals might not possess such deep comprehension of the Great Dao. "The Blood Immortal probably is not that Damned Dragon... but there must be a significant connection between them..." "Could it be, the Blood Immortal is the leader of the Descending Sect, the Damned Dragon''s superior?" At this thought, Su Xing inhaled sharply. "How could it be... the leader of the Descending Sect, an Immortal!?" Su Xing slightly shook his head, not daring to make such a hasty judgment with the information at hand. However, there must be some connection between the Blood Immortal and the Descending Sect... "Well, I might as well continue reading..." His gaze returned to the simulation panel. [You collected the bodies of these Golden Core cultivators and carefully inspected their storage rings.] [Inside the storage rings, you found several bottles of unusual elixirs.] [These elixirs were round and red, each one as large as a fist.] [You took out an elixir and observed it carefully, only to find that it was filled with Karma and violent power, as if it had been refined using blood...] [You brought it close to your nose and sniffed, your complexion suddenly changing. The rich scent of blood on the elixir did not come from animal blood, but from human blood!] [The energy within the elixir was very similar to Spiritual Energy, but it carried a heavy malevolence. Long-term consumption might enhance one''s Cultivation Level, but it would likely harm one''s lifespan...] [You quickly understood that this elixir was likely what the cultivators of this realm needed for their practice...] [After storing the elixirs away, you swiftly sought to leave the place.] [But just as you had fled a few dozen miles, you were pursued by cultivators from the Blood Demon Sect.] [Several Nascent Soul cultivators, along with a Divinity Transformation cultivator wielding a nefarious magic artifact, launched an attack towards you.] [You stood in place, frowning slightly, and with a wave of your hand, you cut down all the cultivators.] [The sole Divinity Transformation cultivator appeared to want to flee.] [But you effortlessly captured this Divinity Transformation cultivator and began an interrogation.] [Under intense questioning, you soon learned of the exact location and strength of the Blood Demon Sect.] [According to this Divinity Transformation cultivator, there were practitioners of the Return to Void Realm stationed within the Blood Demon Sect, and there were rumors of the Blood Dragon Ancestor, who threatened you to release him, otherwise you would surely meet a certain death.] [You merely scoffed at this, regretting that you had not cultivated the Soul Searching Technique. Otherwise, you could have effortlessly extracted more information from this Divinity Transformation cultivator''s soul.] [But at that moment, all you could do was suppress his Divine Soul and extract more information from him.] [As you suppressed his Divine Sense, you noticed the aura of this Divinity Transformation cultivator was ethereal. Although he was in the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation, his strength was likely only equivalent to the initial stage of the same realm.] [Moreover, the cultivator''s breath was deep, his lifespan fading...] [Yet, from the cultivator''s face you could see the indelible mark of death; it seemed most of his lifespan had been consumed, and his days were numbered.] [You asked how long he had been practising Cultivation. Pressured by you, he dared not hide the truth, honestly answering that he was one hundred and seventy years old, having cultivated for over a hundred and sixty years...] [Hearing this, you frowned slightly. The aura of this Divinity Transformation cultivator was decaying, and he had at most twenty or thirty years remaining... Normally, for a Divinity Transformation cultivator, a lifespan of a thousand years wasn''t an issue, and with life-extending substances, living to one thousand five hundred years was not difficult.] [It became clear to you, the methods of this sinister Cultivation severely drained one''s lifespan! His life expectancy was less than a fifth of that of cultivators at the same realm!] [At the same time, you were astounded; a person without a Spiritual Root had managed to reach the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation in just over a hundred and sixty years, a Cultivation talent that came close to a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator!] [You wished to continue questioning this Divinity Transformation cultivator, yet he still offered you a minor threat. In the end, it seemed as if he saw something terrifying, showing a painful expression, and within minutes, he fell to the ground lifeless.] Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After the death of this Divinity Transformation cultivator, his face aged rapidly, and he became thin as a rake... It seemed his vitality, spirit, and Essence had been sucked dry.] [In just a few breaths, he changed from a middle-aged man to an old wreck, eventually turning into a dried corpse.] [Grudges and Karma entwined above the dried corpse, and even his Divine Soul was wiped clean.] [You were surprised and immediately used your Divine Sense to inspect the body.] [However, beneath the corpse, you discovered a bug the size of a thumb!] [It was a Gu Insect!] [Entirely red, wrapped in grudges and blood scent, it gave off an extremely malicious vibe.] [If you were not mistaken, the rapid withering of this Divinity Transformation cultivator''s body was due to the Gu Insect devouring all his blood vitality, Cultivation, and even his Divine Soul.] [You channeled your Spiritual Power and captured the Gu Insect.] [Once you caught it, the Gu Insect stared at you with resentment and malice, its sesame seed-sized eyes blood red, seemingly highly intelligent.] Chapter 376: Chapter 208: Blood Immortal Scripture, The Secret of the Blood Demon Realm! (5k)_3 [A thought crossed your mind, and you threw the Spirit Explosion Technique into the midst of the Blood Demon Sect''s sect grounds!] [Boom! In an instant, a terrifying spiritual power explosion swept through most of the sect...] [After a few breaths, the smoke slowly cleared, revealing thousands of low-level cultivators below, who had been blasted to death like ants by your hand.] [Fear and roars of agony instantly filled the entire Blood Demon Sect.] [But you, as calm as the breeze and light as the clouds, took out a bottle of Spiritual Liquid and, after taking a sip, you once again gathered a cyclone of energy and released the Spirit Explosion Technique towards the ground below.] [Like this, you unleashed three Spirit Explosion Techniques in succession.] [In less than a quarter of an hour''s time, tens of thousands of the sect''s cultivators were reduced to merely a few dozen survivors.] [Thus, all cultivators below Divinity Transformation Stage were indiscriminately killed by the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [Even those at the Divinity Transformation Stage were severely injured and their aura was weak.] [After clearing the area, you controlled your spiritual power to slowly descend into the Blood Demon Sect''s grand hall, where you saw the few dozen cultivators gathered together in defense.] [Apart from two cultivators at the Return to Void Realm who merited a second glance, those at the Divinity Transformation Stage were no match for you at all.] [You slowly made your way into the grand hall, and with a casual sword strike, you killed one of the Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators.] [Then your Divine Sense swept over the corpse, and just as you had thought before, the body quickly decayed and soon a Gu Insect crawled out slowly from the cadaver.] [You channeled your spiritual power to capture the Gu Insect, which immediately bared its teeth at you.] [You frowned slightly, it wasn''t just the cultivator you had killed before or the body you just slew, all the cultivators in the sect, from Foundation Establishment Stage to Nascent Soul Stage, turned into corpses after death.] [You lifted your head to look at the cultivators in front of you, and they trembled with shock.] [Your Divine Sense passed over the only two Return to Void cultivators.] [Sure enough, both of these Return to Void cultivators looked like their lifespan had been damaged, their aura fragile.] [One of the tall Return to Void cultivators fared somewhat better, but the other was shrouded in dark qi, with likely no more than fifty years left...] In the real world, Su Xing looked at the text before him and frowned slightly, murmuring: "So, even the Return to Void cultivators have little time left in their lifespan?" "Normally, a Return to Void cultivator could easily live for two to three thousand years... But the cultivators of this realm probably have lifespans of only four to five hundred years, right?" "Is it because of the Blood Immortal Scripture?" Su Xing took a deep breath, then chanted silently: "Activate the immersive simulation feature for 24 hours!" [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation feature, costing 2.4 million energy points, remaining 1.04793 billion.] As the simulator''s notification sounded, Su Xing''s vision blurred momentarily. The next second, Su Xing found himself in an unfamiliar environment. First was the thick scent of blood, along with an uncomfortable sticky presence in the air. Su Xing frowned slightly and scanned the area in front of him. He saw dozens of cultivators a few dozen meters away from him, each with different expressions, armed with weapons and magical treasures, ready for battle. In each cultivator''s eyes, there was a deep fear. Su Xing glanced at the cultivator who had turned into a rotting corpse not far away, then his Divine Sense swept over the few dozen living cultivators and murmured: "Just as described in the simulation text... their lifespans are damaged, hardly befitting of a cultivator!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. The path of cultivation practiced by the cultivators of this realm had deviated from the essence of the cultivator''s path and had turned towards some extreme. What is the path of cultivation? Although Su Xing had been in the Cultivation World for less than two years, having experienced the five challenges of Divinity Transformation, his mindset and pursuit of the cultivation path were fairly steadfast. In Su Xing''s view, there''s only one ultimate goal for any cultivator, and that is immortality! Immortals live as long as the heavens and the earth, shine alongside the sun and the moon. Further down, some cultivators may seek to right wrongs with a swift hand, others desire freedom and leisure... Or perhaps ambitious cultivators aim to wield the power of the world, to find joy in the lap of beauty. But regardless, they can never stray from the ultimate goal of cultivation, immortality! Yet the cultivators of this realm, even upon reaching the Return to Void Realm, possess lifespans that don''t even compare to ordinary Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators. Such practice truly runs counter to the essence of cultivation. "Quick-fix methods are indeed undesirable..." Su Xing shook his head, the only benefit being that the Blood Immortal Scripture is not choosy about its practitioners. As Su Xing contemplated, the few dozen cultivators in front of him spoke up with trembling voices: "Senior, what grudge or grievance do you have with us to warrant annihilating our Blood Demon Sect?" Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yeah... Senior, you''ve already killed those low-level cultivators... but for us above the Divinity Transformation Stage, cultivation isn''t easy!" Su Xing looked on coldly at the pleading cultivators, remaining silent. Seeing that Su Xing was unresponsive, these cultivators started to threaten: "Senior, although you are powerful... our Blood Demon Sect is not to be trifled with!" "This time, you''ve penetrated our Blood Demon Sect, but that''s because our Blood Dragon Ancestor was not at home!" "Now that you''ve broken through the formation, the Blood Dragon Ancestor will surely return soon. If you leave now we can act as if nothing happened... but by the time you want to run, it''ll be too late!" After hearing the words of these two Return to Void cultivators, Su Xing''s interest was piqued, and he countered: "Oh? I killed tens of thousands of cultivators from your Blood Demon Sect, and you can act as if nothing happened?" "Do you think I''m stupid?" The two Return to Void cultivators looked at each other. One slightly more robust cultivator stepped forward and said to Su Xing: "Senior, not to deceive you, the Blood Dragon Ancestor is my father!" "If you are willing to spare us, we will indeed act as if nothing happened... We are even willing to offer a significant gift!" Chapter 381: Chapter 210 Battle with Blood Dragon Ancestor, Chaos Origin Realm Cultivator? (5k)_2 In the real world, Su Xing saw this and chuckled: "Did it actually appear in just over a month?" "It seems the Blood Demon Sect is indeed not without defenses against me... previously, they said the minimum would be three months, and the maximum half a year..." "However, this Dragon Protector is indeed the Blood Dragon Ancestor!" Su Xing felt somewhat excited at that moment. He had known earlier that the Dragon Protector''s Divine Sense strength should still be at the Great Perfection stage of the Return to Void Realm. If it truly was the Dragon Protector, Su Xing was not worried. With this thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [The Blood Dragon Ancestor, also known as the Dragon Protector, rapidly approached you.] [When seeing you, the Blood Dragon Ancestor had a sinister smile on his face.] [Obviously, he also recognized you as the one who severely injured his Divine Soul in the Void Domain previously.] [The Dragon Protector quickly covered the entire Blood Demon Sect with his Divine Sense, and when he found out that all the cultivators were slaughtered, he had no reaction.] [But when he discovered that the forbidden ground of the Blood Demon Sect was destroyed by you, he instantly flew into a rage!] [Clearly, in his mind, the tens of thousands of cultivators, perhaps descendants of the Blood Demon Sect, were not as valuable as the cultivation resources in the forbidden ground.] [The damned dragon roared, a towering blood-red aura rising from his body, and he charged at you.] [The great battle was imminent!] Seeing this, Su Xing slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Indeed, the damned dragon is the Blood Dragon Ancestor!" sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Heh, having been severely injured by me before, and now severely hurt, he shouldn''t be a match for me, right?" Su Xing thought this way, turning his gaze to the Simulation Panel. [Seeing the damned dragon charging at you, you remained calm.] [Your Protective Gang Qi and Origin Force armor instantly covered your body.] [Origin Force wrapped around both fists, and you punched directly at the damned dragon.] [Boom! The two fists collided!] [The terrifying power almost changed the color of the heavens and earth, and the ground began to fracture in layers...] [To your complete surprise, your strength was slightly inferior to the damned dragon''s...] [You were blasted back dozens of meters, while the damned dragon stabilized his form after only retreating a few meters.] [Seeing the damned dragon dozens of meters away, your eyes grew serious.] [Because this damned dragon was not a Broken Void Realm cultivator, but a Chaos Origin Realm cultivator!] [In pure strength, the damned dragon''s power was over 50% higher than yours!] [This was even with the Origin Force wrapping... This indicated that the damned dragon was probably a mid-stage Chaos Origin Realm cultivator.] [The damned dragon saw that one punch didn''t solve you, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.] [He had mistaken you for a Chaos Origin Realm cultivator, as only Chaos Origin Realm cultivators could possess such terrifying strength...] [Not planning to hold back, the damned dragon roared and began to transform completely...] [His body grew several times larger... scales started to grow all over, and his hands transformed into dragon claws...] [In just a moment, the damned dragon transformed into a giant dragon, hundreds of meters long, covered in red and black scales!] [Antlers of a deer, head of a bull, eyes of a rabbit, body of a serpent, claws of an eagle!] [This was undoubtedly a true dragon from Eastern mythology!] [This was not like the spirit dragons you encountered previously, which were formed from spirit veins... You could feel that the Dragon Protector was a real Eastern dragon with true dragon bloodline in his body!] [The terrifying pressure made your heart race slightly...] [But given the situation, you couldn''t afford to retreat.] [Even though you were only at the late stage of the Broken Void Realm, your foundation was perfect, and with a perfected Earth Sword, even a mid-stage Chaos Origin Realm cultivator could be rivaled...] [You raised the Ink Ice Sword in your hand, Origin Force wrapped around it, and with extreme speed, you charged at the Dragon Protector''s true form.] [After just a few exchanges, you quickly realized you had made a great mistake.] [The Dragon Clan had a terrifying potential in their bloodline, and in their true form, their physical strength was comparable to a late-stage Chaos Origin Realm cultivator.] [In just a moment of confrontation, your Protective Gang Qi shattered.] [Your Origin Force armor also quickly became tattered...] [After a few more rounds, your physical body was on the brink of collapse...] [Helplessly, you resorted to letting your Divine Soul leave your body...] [Your Divine Soul was then extinguished by the Dragon Protector...] [You died!] [Ding, simulation ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing stared at the simulation text in front of him silently for a long time. Finally, a look of shock appeared on Su Xing''s face. "This Dragon Protector... is actually a Chaos Origin Realm cultivator!" "Body Refinement Chaos Origin... This is even harder than Qi Refinement Integration!" Su Xing frowned slightly, but considering the Dragon Clan''s talent in physical bodies, they were among the top across countless races. The Dragon Protector had lived for an unknown amount of time, and it seemed possible for him to have cultivated to the Chaos Origin Realm! "Damn it, I underestimated it this time!" "I only knew the Dragon Protector was a Qi Refinement Return to Void cultivator... but I didn''t expect his Body Refinement Cultivation Level to be so strong!" "And with the Dragon Clan''s true form... their regenerative power and physical strength are top-tier, I probably need to reach dual realms of Integration Phase and Chaos Origin Realm to fight him?" But Su Xing quickly remembered a talent he once obtained. The Dragon Slayer! Dragon Slayer, a purple talent, could severely restrain the Dragon Clan! If Su Xing successfully brought out this talent, there might really be a chance to fight the damned dragon... "However, I would at least need to enter the Body Integration Realm to battle the damned dragon?" Su Xing shook his head slightly. All of this was based on the simulation. In reality, Su Xing might even choose to be more cautious, waiting until his realm was high enough to crush the damned dragon before taking action. "However... still no news about the Blood Immortal... It seems I can only get information about the Blood Immortal and the leader of the Descending Sect from the damned dragon!" Chapter 382: Chapter 210 Battle with Blood Dragon Ancestor, Chaos Origin Realm Cultivator? (5k)_3 Su Xing felt thoughtful.Soon, Su Xing brought out paper and pen to plan his current enemies and the upcoming development. At present, Su Xing had five targets in mind! First, the Five Elements True Master! The Five Elements True Master was the weakest among Su Xing''s imagined enemies. Su Xing had the confidence to handle him now. After defeating the Five Elements True Master and exploring the ruins of the Five Elements Sect, Su Xing could gain the law of mutual generation of the Five Elements and the Dao of Arrays, inheriting part of the Five Elements Sect''s legacy, which could be considered a good return. The second target was to eliminate True Person Wan Mu. With Su Xing''s current strength, he had some confidence in killing True Person Wan Mu. But for safety''s sake, Su Xing decided to wait until he reached the Integration Phase before killing True Person Wan Mu in reality. The benefits of killing True Person Wan Mu were undoubtedly immense. A Spirit Dragon, hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, spiritual medicines aged thousands of years, Living Dead Puppets, the alchemy techniques of the Wan Mu Sect... These were all things Su Xing craved immensely. As for the third target, it was to eliminate the Slaughter Envoy on the Slaughter Battlefield. According to Su Xing''s speculation, the Slaughter Envoy''s strength was roughly in the middle to late stages of the Great Emperor Level, which was about the late stages of the Integration Phase. But because of the suppression of Su Xing by the Slaughter Moon on the Slaughter Battlefield, Su Xing''s strength would be severely affected. Therefore, for safety, Su Xing decided to explore it only after reaching the Integration Phase. "After killing the Slaughter Envoy... the passage to the outside world from this realm will be opened!" "By then, I should be able to access the true Three Thousand Worlds, right?" The thought excited Su Xing. There was still a Qingyun Token in his storage bag. If he could reach the Great Thousand Worlds, he might be able to find news about the Qingyun Sect... Su Xing''s fourth imagined enemy was naturally the Dragon Protector. The Dragon Protector was the highest battle force known in the Descending Sect. Qi Refinement Return to Void Perfection, Body Refinement Chaos Origin Realm mid-stage... and the bloodline of the Dragon Clan! Su Xing estimated that this should be the most troublesome among the four enemies. "To kill the Dragon Protector, the Dragon Slayer talent was essential... Besides, the cultivation level must be raised as high as possible, at least Qi Refinement Integration plus Body Refinement Chaos Origin Realm... only then could I be fully assured!" "However, after killing the Dragon Protector, the benefits would naturally be numerous... but it might also cause unnecessary trouble!" "Which would be the potential leader of the Descending Sect... and the Blood Immortal who created the Blood Immortal Scripture!" Pausing, Su Xing muttered, "And these two might be the same person..." "And also my last imagined enemy, and the strongest one!" "Of course, besides these five... there''s also the Double-pupil Demon Saint, who needs to be dealt with... but for the Demon Saint level, it might take the Integration Phase''s Great Perfection to even attempt it!" Su Xing recorded his plan in a small book. As the number of simulations increased, Su Xing became more and more cautious about each simulation''s planning. Because each simulation represented a significant leap in strength for Su Xing and could not be wasted! "Very well... the task at hand is still to further improve my strength!" "And find a way to contact other worlds as soon as possible... but at this point, there was no rush. Progressing step by step with a focus on personal safety is still crucial!" Su Xing nodded slightly. If there were an opportunity before him to enter the Great Thousand Worlds immediately and contact the true cultivation world, Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But at the cost of exposing himself, Su Xing would decisively refuse! Because staying alive was more important than any other opportunity! Besides that, Su Xing always had a lingering concern. "Qing Yunzi, from the previous interactions, my convenient master should be considered a righteous cultivator..." "But faced with heaven-defying opportunities, even the pinnacle of righteousness might do unknown things... Just like True Person Wan Mu!" "If Qing Yunzi learned that I had grown to the Integration Phase in just a year or two... would it bring about a calamity for me?" Su Xing shook his head slightly, not knowing for sure. "Well, let''s first look at the rewards of this simulation!" Su Xing''s eyes fell on the simulation rewards. [Breaking the Defense]: Purple Talent, priced at one million energy points. [Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, the current alchemy insights would increase slightly, priced at two million energy points. [Great Perfection in Broken Void Realm]: Cultivation level in Broken Void Realm, with the power to discern illusion, priced at 200 million energy points. [Eleven Thousand Zhang of Divine Sense (Micro-realm)]: The beginning of limitless Divine Sense, breaking the limit of ordinary Return to Void Realm cultivators'' Divine Sense but still having great growth potential. Priced at 790 million energy points! [Blood Immortal Scripture]: Created by a mighty cultivator, it does not require a Spiritual Root, and Spiritual Energy can still be cultivated. It is a fast-track method for evil cultivation... However, there are important secrets behind this scripture, priced at one billion energy points. [One Hundred Thousand Blood Condensing Pills]: Cultivation pills containing mixed Spiritual Energy, the refining method is cruel, the use of which would reduce lifespan, priced at one billion energy points. [Ten Thousand Blood Spirit Stones]: Cultivation stones containing mixed Spiritual Energy, a crystal of resentment and Spiritual Energy, cruelly refined, the use of which would reduce lifespan, priced at one billion energy points. [One Million Drops of Blood Spiritual Liquid]: Cultivation liquid containing some mixed Spiritual Energy, purified by Blood Spirit Gu, but still reducing lifespan and deepening karma upon use, priced at one billion energy points. [One Blood Spirit Gu]: A spiritual gu that devours lifespan, Spiritual Energy, and Flesh Essence, living on resentment and capable of purifying mixed power, priced at one million energy points. Su Xing looked at the simulation rewards before him, revealing a look of surprise in his eyes. "This Blood Immortal Scripture, worth a full one billion energy points? Is it on the same level as the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique? A true immortal technique!" "And these Blood Condensing Pills, Blood Spirit Stones, spiritual liquid, and spiritual gu... although cruelly refined, contain unexpectedly abundant energy!" An audacious idea began to form in Su Xing''s mind. Chapter 383: Chapter 211 Su Xing: I didnt mean to quarter the True Immortal! (5k) Su Xing naturally wouldn''t consume these Blood Spirit Stones, Soul Condensing Pills, and so on himself.But if used to convert into energy for the simulator, it would be incredibly beneficial! What Su Xing saw inside the Blood Demon Sect''s forbidden area included various blood pools, spiritual liquids, Blood Spirit Stones... All of these combined contained energy amounts that at least numbered in the tens or hundreds of billions! Thinking of this made Su Xing''s heart leap with excitement. "Goodness, if I were to rob the Blood Demon Sect, wouldn''t that mean I would instantly gain billions in energy, reaching the Body Integration Realm or even a higher cultivation level?" For a moment, greed sparked in Su Xing''s heart. But then Su Xing shook his head and said: "However, the strength of the Damned Dragon is still beyond me... Even if I rob the Blood Demon Sect, who knows if it would bring greater hidden dangers..." "It''s better to handle this matter with caution!" Pausing, Su Xing revealed a meaningful smile. "But... who says I have to take down the Damned Dragon to go to the Blood Demon Sect?" "The Damned Dragon himself should still be within the Treasure Vault of the Descending Sect, right?" "If I rob the Blood Demon Sect and do it without a trace, would he be able to find out?" Su Xing stroked his chin. With the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, Su Xing''s Heavenly Secrets Shielding Technique should be able to deceive the Dragon Protector. However, since this matter was of great importance, Su Xing should simulate it a few more times to prevent any unexpected situations. "Well, these matters can be dealt with later!" "For now, I should choose this simulation''s reward... and quickly raise my cultivation level to the Perfection of the Broken Void Realm!" Su Xing didn''t hesitate much, directly reciting in his mind: "I choose the Perfection of the Broken Void Realm cultivation level and an eleven-thousand-zhang divine sense!" [You successfully bring out the Perfection of the Broken Void Realm cultivation level, costing 2 billion energy, with 8.4073 billion energy points remaining...] [You successfully bring out an eleven-thousand-zhang divine sense, costing 7.9 billion energy, with 50.73 million energy points remaining.] Seeing the swiftly dwindling string of numbers on the panel, Su Xing''s heart immediately ached. "However, it''s all worth it!" Su Xing consoled himself this way. As the simulator''s prompt sounded, two mysterious energies surged into Su Xing''s body. The first sensation Su Xing felt was the rapid increase in his cultivation level''s momentum. The eighth level of the Broken Void Realm... the ninth level of the Broken Void Realm... Finally, the Perfection of the Broken Void Realm! In just a few breaths, Su Xing''s Body Refinement cultivation level naturally reached the Perfection of the Broken Void Realm. His entire body''s vigor, strength, origin force, and physical strength all climbed several steps in a short time! Su Xing sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to control and comprehend the energy within him. After a long while, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes as he murmured: "Incredible... My current pure physical strength has probably surged to five million tons!" "If I wrap it with origin force, my strength will reach ten million tons!" "Compared to when I first entered the Broken Void Realm, my strength has increased tenfold!" "Moreover... The intensity and total amount of the origin force within me have also increased several times compared to when I first entered the Broken Void Realm!" Su Xing was a little shocked. One must know that a small mountain over a hundred meters high weighed no more than ten million tons! With his current full strength, Su Xing could indeed lift a one-hundred-meter-high mountain directly! "With my current strength... What terrifying power would I have if I entered the Chaos Origin Realm?" Su Xing''s eyes flashed with a look of anticipation. After experiencing the explosive increase in his Body Refinement cultivation level, Su Xing quickly returned to reality. Immediately, his eleven-thousand-zhang divine sense expanded, sweeping through the entire Kyoto City like a tide. Eleven thousand zhang was equivalent to Su Xing being the center, covering everything within a radius of three to four hundred kilometers. This was not merely a matter of covering an entire city with a single thought. It covered an entire province or even the vast northern plains. "Whew~ The range of my divine sense is far stronger than before!" S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Thus, if I want to find someone, it will become very easy..." "The real change is the intensity of the divine sense! The power I can now exert with the Wishful Golden Cauldron is far stronger than before!" "Incredible... Even with my current divine sense, it hasn''t reached its peak! If it reaches the peak, how vast would it be? Fifteen thousand zhang? Or even... twenty thousand zhang!" Su Xing now truly experienced the benefits of a solid foundation. Practicing the Wishful Visualization Technique and consuming many years'' worth of Soul Condensing Pills had almost pushed Su Xing''s divine sense potential to the extreme limits of the Return to Void phase! Su Xing then carefully explored the subtleties of his divine sense. First, he covered the area around the school, seeing Jin Congxue inside the villa... "Hm? Jin Congxue is... Why is she lying on the bed alone with such a flushed face?" "Strange..." Su Xing lightly shook his head, and his divine sense drifted away again. Wild geese at the edge of the sky began flying south, and there seemed to be a large wasteland outside the western suburbs of Kyoto... Every detail was within Su Xing''s grasp. His divine sense continued to explore outward. Gradually, it exceeded the boundaries of Kyoto City... reaching the neighboring Northern Province. Almost without Su Xing having to deliberately search, every powerful lifeform appeared in his perception like a radar blip. After sensing the lifeforms'' faint presences in the distance, Su Xing raised his eyebrows and murmured: "My, my... It seems I mustn''t underestimate the background of the various business families..." "In top-tier business associations, there are almost always one or two Martial Emperor level experts... There also seem to be quite a few Heavenly King level experts?" Su Xing slightly nodded. The strongest expert he could sense was likely at the Martial Emperor level. Chapter 384: Chapter 211 Su Xing: I didnt mean to quarter the True Immortal! (5k)_2 And stronger legendary level experts could almost only be encountered at the Demon-Subduing Pass."It wasn''t the most dangerous time at the Demon-Subduing Pass yet... Therefore, all the top families still reserved their hidden strengths. This indicated that there were internal conflicts within the human race!" Su Xing sighed softly. Where there were people, there were rivalries and conflicts. Not to mention those human race traitors, even these top families might not be united wholeheartedly to resist foreign enemies. Take the Baili family for instance, they still fancied passing down their family legacy for millennia... Little did they know that under the great tide, the entire human race couldn''t even last for decades. "Although the strength of these families and business associations was mediocre... the energy behind them shouldn''t be underestimated!" "Especially the resources they could mobilize!" "If I could consolidate this power for my use... acquiring the resources needed to become immortal would be as easy as flipping my hand!" Su Xing thought to himself. He only took advantage of one top business association, the Baili Business Association. Merely the instance dungeon items alone could provide him four to five billion energy every two months. If he could mobilize all the top business association forces in the Great Xia, the amount of energy Su Xing could obtain would be astonishing! "Of course... there''s also the Great Xia Country''s military!" "After all, on this land, the military is the real master! The foundation they possess is probably more than all the families combined, right?" Su Xing closed his eyes in deep thought. He saw the few tens of millions of simulated energy left and sighed. What he lacked now was simulated energy, and the top families and the military of the Great Xia Country could indirectly provide it to him. What the human race lacked was overall strength! Su Xing could also fulfill these needs for them... Therefore, if he could manage these relationships well, Su Xing would be able to easily obtain a large amount of simulated energy. "But the problem now is how to do this with as little risk as possible?" Su Xing slightly frowned. With the resources he had, just the Tarot Society alone could fully provide him four billion energy a month. But four billion energy was already somewhat insufficient for Su Xing, who was about to enter the Integration Phase. "According to previous experience... entering the Body Integration Realm would even require ten billion points of energy! With my current means, I would need to wait for two months!" Su Xing slightly shook his head. He couldn''t wait that long. And he couldn''t go without simulation for two months just to break through the Integration Realm. Rubbing his temples with some headache, Su Xing muttered to himself, "Looks like I''ll have to find a way to get simulated energy again..." "With my current strength, getting energy isn''t difficult; the hard part is not exposing myself!" After thinking deeply for a long while, Su Xing muttered, "With my current means, the ways to get energy are..." "First, find a way to kill high-level demonic beasts to obtain flesh essence, which can indisputably acquire a large amount of simulated energy..." "But this is also the most dangerous method..." "Second, go to the relics of the Five Elements Sect, and I might get some energy, but the amount might be unpredictable, perhaps not much?" "As for the third point... it''s to get a little from those top families!" As he said this, Su Xing''s eyes lit up. He had previously gone to the Baili family as a mysterious man to sell lifespan extension elixirs. Just two of them had earned him ten billion energy! Although other families might not have instance dungeon items like the Baili family, they should have alien metals, high-level equipment, and other items that could provide a lot of energy. "The most crucial point is, with my current cultivation level... except for that Great Emperor level expert in the human race, the rest should not be my match!" "And with the technique to block heavenly secrets... I shouldn''t expose too much!" Su Xing felt a little eager in his heart. If he remembered correctly, in Jin Congxue''s family, it seemed there was an elder who needed lifespan extension elixirs? "However... this matter can''t be rushed. It''s better to simulate it in the simulator first and then decide next time!" Su Xing still decided to be cautious. As for this week... Su Xing did not intend to stay in the Spirit Field Cave to refine elixirs but planned to go to the Immortal Martial Era instance! Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn''t help but feel a bit excited, and muttered, "Finally... going to the Immortal Martial Era instance?" "With my current strength, there should be no risk... I just need to enter the relics of the Five Elements Sect and eliminate the living dead Five Elements True Master!" Su Xing was still quite confident because he had tried several times during previous simulations, and now his cultivation level could indeed crush the Five Elements True Master. Thinking about the Five Elements Formation and Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique made Su Xing a bit excited. "No time to lose... I should set off immediately!" Su Xing muttered. Then, Su Xing began to disguise himself and conceal his breath, and immediately blocked his own heavenly secrets. Taking advantage of the night, Su Xing used sword flight and quickly arrived outside the coordinates of the Post-Apocalyptic Era instance. Su Xing set up a concealment formation on himself, and then swaggered into the Immortal Martial Era instance. ... Passing through a light curtain, Su Xing''s vision changed, and the next second, he appeared in a big mountain. "Here, is the Immortal Martial Era instance..." Su Xing nodded slightly, and converged his divine sense. sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There were still cultivators in this Immortal Martial Era instance. Although the number was small, for the sake of caution, Su Xing decided to converge his divine sense. After that, Su Xing took out a diary and retrieved a page of the map inserted within it. This map was the location of the Five Elements Sect relics noted by the damned Zong. Chapter 385: Chapter 211 Su Xing: I didnt mean to quarter the True Immortal! (5k)_3 "Damned Zong made it easy for me, saving me the trouble of searching..."Su Xing''s lips curled slightly, and after comparing directions, he flew towards the Five Elements Sect on his sword. In less than half a day, Su Xing found the entrance to the Five Elements Sect ruins. The entrance was also a giant rock, looking quite ancient. "Tsk tsk, do these big sect ruins all like to hide their entrances in giant rocks?" Su Xing chuckled lightly. The formation was just a composite maze array, a spatial direction array, and a breath-concealing array. With Su Xing''s current formation skills, he spent a little effort and successfully entered the array. Stepping into the formation, Su Xing''s vision shifted. The next second, he found himself in a dim space. Narrow, damp... stone walls all around, with faintly glowing stones embedded. "Is this the place where Five Elements True Master is buried?" Su Xing frowned slightly. To be cautious, Su Xing raised his Protective Gang Qi and Origin Force Armor. With two layers of defense, Su Xing felt a little more at ease. "In the Five Elements Sect ruins... there should only be Five Elements True Master..." Su Xing murmured, then confidently released his Divine Sense. The Divine Sense surged like a tide, quickly capturing the aura of Five Elements True Master. Five Elements True Master was about ten kilometers away from Su Xing, located near the core area of the Five Elements Sect ruins. Su Xing nodded slightly, murmuring: "Swift and decisive, with my current strength, Five Elements True Master shouldn''t have any chance to resist..." Thinking this, Su Xing drew out his Ink Ice Sword, Origin Force entwined around it. To avoid damaging the Five Elements Sect ruins, Su Xing decided to use Earth Sword directly, quickly slaying Five Elements True Master. With this thought, Su Xing shot forward like an arrow, heading towards Five Elements True Master. In just a few breaths, Su Xing reached Five Elements True Master. By the faint light, Su Xing saw Five Elements True Master''s appearance clearly. He seemed to be around forty years old, with a well-proportioned build. The only striking feature was his eyes, full of wisdom, appearing extremely insightful. However, at this moment, Five Elements True Master''s expression was numb, his face pale, having lost his last trace of consciousness. "Is this... a Living Dead Puppet?" Su Xing took a deep breath, seeing a Living Dead Puppet in reality for the first time. As Su Xing noticed Five Elements True Master, Five Elements True Master also attacked Su Xing decisively. sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing didn''t dodge, raised his brow, lifted Earth Sword, and attacked Five Elements True Master. "Too slow!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. Then, Speed Force enhanced the Ink Ice Sword in his hand, slashing at Five Elements True Master''s body. With just one strike, Su Xing severed Five Elements True Master''s left arm. Black gas instantly spread, crimson and slightly black blood flowed out, dripping onto the ground, forming a small puddle. After Five Elements True Master''s arm was severed, his aura instantly weakened significantly. The red-black blood squirmed like venom, frantically trying to repair the injury. But could a Broken Void Realm cultivator''s severed arm be so easily repaired? Five Elements True Master roared, Five Elements Spiritual Power flashing across his body. Su Xing squinted slightly, knowing this was Five Elements True Master trying to activate the Five Elements Supportive Method. But would Su Xing give Five Elements True Master such a chance? As Five Elements True Master gathered Spiritual Power, Su Xing struck first. Another swift sword strike! With one slash, he severed Five Elements True Master''s other arm. Then, Su Xing delivered four consecutive strikes. He aimed at Five Elements True Master''s left and right thighs, dantian... and finally his head! Within just a few breaths, Su Xing dismembered Five Elements True Master. Watching Five Elements True Master''s eyes flash with a trace of clarity and regret just before death. Su Xing muttered: "What a pity... I originally wanted to keep the body intact, couldn''t hold back..." Su Xing sighed, adding: "Seems like I''ll have to burn him to ashes, hoping to bury him in a good Feng Shui site..." Su Xing collected Five Elements True Master''s body, then walked into the deepest part of the Five Elements Sect ruins. Scanning the core of the ruins with his Divine Sense, Su Xing found nothing of value. Sighing, Su Xing approached the ancient bronze coffin, taking out a Storage Magical Artifact inside the coffin. Probing it with his Divine Sense, besides the Jade Slips recording the Five Elements Supportive Method and Five Elements Dao of Arrays, Su Xing also found many useful array-setting materials. "Why are the Five Elements Sect ruins so poor?" "This is far worse than the Wan Mu Sect ruins!" Su Xing licked his lips, recalling the Spirit Dragon in the Wan Mu Sect ruins and thousands of Spiritual Medicines over thousands of years old, feeling a bit longing. As Su Xing was about to leave the Five Elements Sect ruins, he suddenly thought of something, turning to look at the ancient bronze coffin before him. Su Xing''s lips curved into a smile, adhering to the principle of leaving nothing behind, he stored the entire ancient bronze coffin into the Spirit Field Cave. Next, Su Xing quickly left the Five Elements Sect ruins, returning to the Immortal Martial Era Instance. Without any delay, after finishing his business, Su Xing walked towards the instance exit, returning to Blue Star. The entire process, from arriving at the Five Elements Sect ruins, killing Five Elements True Master, to returning to Kyoto. Took less than a day... Back in the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing had a thought, looking at the ancient bronze coffin before him. "Speaking of which... why do all the True Immortals sleep in these ancient bronze coffins?" "Could it be... this coffin has something special?" Su Xing felt curious. Then he tried to absorb the ancient coffin, converting it into energy. Such a large coffin, if made of bronze, should yield some energy points, right? Unexpectedly, a surprised voice echoed in Su Xing''s ears. [Ding, detected a material containing energy, worth 370 million energy points, absorb?] Chapter 386: Chapter 212: Taking a Risk to Earn Several Billion Energy Points? (5k) "Huh? Holy crap!""Over three hundred million energy?" Su Xing''s eyes widened. He never expected that this bronze coffin would be worth so much. This indicated that the bronze coffin was definitely not made of mere bronze but rather a special metal containing a vast amount of energy. "Moreover... every True Immortal uses this copper coffin. It should also have the effect of preserving their bodies, right?" Su Xing pondered. Before figuring out the exact use of this bronze coffin, he decided not to convert it into energy for now. What if it turned out to be useful? Su Xing temporarily placed the bronze coffin in the Spirit Field Cave, then began his daily elixir refining. In the blink of an eye, another six days passed. Su Xing refined over six thousand Fasting Pills in total. On this day, it was time for his scheduled meeting with Jin Congxue. Su Xing disguised himself and concealed his aura before heading to the villa. Jin Congxue was wearing a black "stepmother dress" today, showing off her body curves perfectly. "Oh, you came early today, busy man!" Jin Congxue poured Su Xing a pot of tea and said cheerfully. After hearing this, Su Xing also smiled. The two of them sat facing each other, chatting and occasionally eating the delicacies on the table. Soon, they got to the main topic. Jin Congxue took out a Fasting Pill, looked at Su Xing with a serious expression, and said: "Su Xing, did you also refine this elixir?" Su Xing nodded slightly and said casually: "Of course, where else would it come from, the sky?" Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and said: "I don''t have time to joke with you! I''m talking about serious matters... do you know the importance of this elixir?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow and took a sip of tea, saying: "Isn''t it just a common elixir? Didn''t we also have the Nourishing Face Pill before? It should be similar, right?" Jin Congxue''s tone instantly became excited as she said: "How can that be the same? The Nourishing Face Pill is only useful for rich, elderly women!" "But this Fasting Pill can change the battlefield and even enhance the strength of the Human Race!" Su Xing chuckled but didn''t say much. However, Jin Congxue spoke seriously: "Do you know what it would mean if the Great Xia Military knew you could refine this elixir?" "According to the appraisal from the grandmaster at the Jin Merchant Guild, this elixir can ensure that a Grandmaster Level expert maintains a certain level of physical strength for three to six months without hunger affecting their combat abilities!" "Even a Heavenly King Level expert can maintain their strength for about a month!" After a pause, Jin Congxue continued: "You know about the Demon-Subduing Pass, right? Each year, the soldiers at the Demon-Subduing Pass have a huge expenditure on food!" "Especially as the level of Profession Users increases, their vitality becomes more abundant, so they require more food for sustenance!" "The logistics of supplying the front line are already a troublesome issue..." "But with your elixir, the entire Great Xia Military at the Demon-Subduing Pass could maintain sufficient combat strength with just hundreds of thousands of pills a year!" "And this could prevent many casualties... do you understand?" Seeing Jin Congxue say all this in one breath, Su Xing just smiled and said: "Of course I understand, but you got one thing wrong..." "A Grandmaster Level Profession User can guarantee six months of food supply with just one pill!" "A Master Level Profession User only needs half a pill to ensure six months of food supply..." "The effect of my elixir might be even better than you think..." Seeing Su Xing''s calm demeanor, Jin Congxue was taken aback and asked in confusion: "Such a valuable item, how can you just take it out so casually?" "Aren''t you afraid... that I might leak such a big secret? Do you trust me that much?" Hearing this, Su Xing just smiled slightly. Naturally, he wouldn''t say that he had already simulated it without any risk. Instead, he asked in return: "So... would you betray me?" Jin Congxue was stumped by this question. After seriously considering it, she shook her head and said: "No, I can''t betray your trust in me!" Sarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Besides... I''m lucky that the appraiser I hired was reliable, or it would have leaked already!" "Rest assured, as of now, the Fasting Pills are safe!" Hearing this, Su Xing nodded slightly, but he couldn''t help but think: Just these Fasting Pills caused such a big stir? If Su Xing were to take out the Essence-Nourishing Pills, Organ Refining Pills, and other elixirs in large quantities, what would happen then? Jin Congxue saw that Su Xing remained silent and continued to ask: "So how do you plan to trade these elixirs with the Great Xia Military?" Su Xing thought for a moment and then replied: "I can refine about thirty thousand Fasting Pills if I work at full capacity for a month..." "Do you think fifty thousand Fasting Pills would be enough to secure a mining concession for a second-grade Alien Metal mine at an auction?" After seriously considering this, Jin Congxue replied: "Absolutely!" "At the auction, the top merchant guilds can only offer a batch of healing potions and mid-to-high-grade equipment at most..." "To the Great Xia Military, the value of these items is far inferior to the Fasting Pills you can provide!" After a pause, Jin Congxue continued: "I can even try to get you a fast track, bypassing the auction entirely. With fifty thousand pills, you can directly exchange them for a second-grade Alien Metal mining concession!" Su Xing didn''t seem too surprised to hear this. Jin Congxue''s grandfather was Lu Yuanwu, the Martial Emperor of Great Xia, responsible for logistics... And this Fasting Pill, to Lu Yuanwu, was perfectly suited for his expertise! Jin Congxue thought for a moment and said: "I will continue to keep your identity secret. I can guarantee that your information won''t be leaked from my side!" Chapter 387: Chapter 212: Taking a Risk to Earn Several Billion Energy Points? (5k)_2 "However... once the Fasting Pill is released, some people might investigate the Tarot Commerce Association...""I''ve erased all traces of our previous meetings, but you must ensure that you don''t expose yourself moving forward..." Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this. He still had a lot of trust in Jin Congxue in this regard. Finally, Jin Congxue said: "It would take as short as a week or as long as half a month for the Fasting Pill to secure the alien metal mining rights!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction at these words. Jin Congxue never disappointed him when it came to efficiency. Soon, their transaction ended. Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave with a new week''s worth of goods. He exchanged the new week''s goods for simulation energy, adding another billion points of energy. Thus, Su Xing''s energy surged to 1.5 billion points. On November 25, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing punctually started a new round of simulations. "Start Simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumed 6300 points of energy, with 1.507 billion points remaining and unlimited simulation times left.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a Purple Talent costs 100,000 points of energy, and drawing a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million points of energy, draw?] Su Xing hesitated for a moment as he looked at the simulation text in front of him. Unexpectedly, Su Xing would likely draw a Purple Talent again. These Purple Talents were not very useful to him. However, Su Xing was indeed in need of some previously drawn Purple Talents. "Dragon Slayer... and Array Dao Prodigy Talent, these two talents are what I need right now!" The Dragon Slayer Talent significantly increased Su Xing''s chances against the Dragon Protector. But it was not urgent. Su Xing planned to slay the damned dragon after integrating with the Dragon Slayer Talent. "As for the Array Dao Prodigy Talent... it would allow me to comprehend the Five Elements Array Dao more quickly! This is greatly beneficial for improving the Spirit Gathering Array!" Su Xing''s heart stirred slightly. With the current grade of the Spirit Field Cave, it should be able to produce Mid Grade Spiritual Liquid... However, in the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing only set up a simple Mid Grade Composite Spirit Gathering Array. If the Spirit Gathering Array could be improved a bit more, it could possibly produce Mid Grade Spiritual Liquid, even if not at an advanced level! The cultivation speed with Mid Grade Spiritual Liquid could be several times, or even ten times faster than with Low Grade Spiritual Liquid! Although Su Xing had not yet reached the Body Integration Realm, he had to plan ahead for his breakthrough after reaching it. Therefore, the Spirit Gathering Array needed further improvement. "Besides... This Five Elements True Master, truly a prodigy, with unparalleled comprehension!" Su Xing couldn''t help but sigh in admiration. In the past few days, apart from refining elixirs, Su Xing took time to study the two jade slips obtained from the relics of the Five Elements Sect. The Five Elements Mutual Generation Array and the Five Elements Array Dao! Apart from improving the Five Elements Mutual Generation Array, the Five Elements True Master also made significant improvements to the Five Elements Array Dao. Among these improvements, what astonished Su Xing the most was the Five Elements True Master''s modification of the Spirit Gathering Array! Initially, Su Xing thought that the Five Elements True Master had a Heavenly Spirit Root. After all, only this could enable one to reach the Great Perfection Return to Void Realm within just a few hundred years in an era of depleted Spiritual Energy. To Su Xing''s surprise, the Five Elements True Master turned out to have only a True Spiritual Root... Moreover, it wasn''t even an outstanding one among True Spiritual Roots. For an era''s prodigy, having such a Spiritual Root was far from sufficient, even substandard. Despite this disadvantage, the Five Elements True Master was the earliest among the three True Masters to achieve the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm! The reason behind this was the incredible formation the Five Elements True Master developed! The Minor Spirit Gathering Array! Unlike an ordinary Spirit Gathering Array, the Minor Spirit Gathering Array was not set up on the ground; it was set up on the human body! Once a Minor Spirit Gathering Array was arranged on one''s body, a cultivator could automatically absorb Spirit Qi day and night, transforming it into pure Spiritual Power and cultivation level! In simple terms: This was essentially plug-in cultivation! Even a pig would become a celestial marshal with plug-in cultivation over thousands of years, right? It was this Minor Spirit Gathering Array that excited Su Xing deeply! "If I could arrange a Minor Spirit Gathering Array on my body, the cultivation speed would undoubtedly increase rapidly!" "It''s equivalent to gaining additional benefits from plug-in cultivation besides my manual practice!" This undoubtedly opened another cheat for Su Xing, who possessed a simulator. "After reaching the Great Perfection Return to Void Realm, comes the Body Integration Realm... after which is the Mahayana Realm, and even higher, the Immortal Realm!" "The further one progresses in cultivation, the slower the speed of improvement..." "Therefore, enhancing aptitude and cultivation speed becomes increasingly crucial! After all, each simulation is time-limited; increasing the cultivation speed is equivalent to extending the simulation time!" Su Xing pondered carefully. Then he silently recited: "I want to draw from the Talent Pool..." Soon, a lottery machine containing purple spheres appeared before Su Xing. Among them, Su Xing spotted the sphere marked as the Array Dao Prodigy. "Blessed by the Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerate... Start the draw!" Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This time, Su Xing''s luck was not too bad. He spent only two million energy points to draw the Array Dao Prodigy Talent he desired. Having drawn the talent, Su Xing smiled in satisfaction, murmuring: "Now, let''s officially start the simulation!" Su Xing carefully reviewed the plan for this simulation in his mind and looked at the simulation panel. [Inside the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating.] Chapter 388: Chapter 212: Taking a Risk to Earn Several Billion Energy Points? (5k)_3 [After you disguised yourself and suppressed your breath, you concealed your own Heavenly Secrets and prepared to handle something.][Disguised and suppressing your breath, you quickly arrived at the headquarters of the Jin Merchant Guild in Jinling City.] [Your Divine Sense enveloped the entire Jinling City, and you swiftly found the Jin residence.] [You entered the residence, and without much effort, found the dying elder of the Jin family.] [This elder was a Heavenly King-level power, seemingly over five hundred years old, and in terms of seniority, he was Jin Congxue''s second great-uncle!] [You had investigated beforehand. This second great-uncle was considered a significant branch of the Jin family, and although he didn''t wield as much power as Jin Congxue''s father in the guild, he still had many resources at his disposal.] [Taking advantage of the night, you silently entered the second great-uncle''s room and saw the dying old man lying in bed, with a maidservant attending him nearby.] [The second great-uncle became terrified upon seeing you and wanted to call for help.] [But you directly used your powerful Divine Sense to suppress him, rendering him immobile. As for the maidservant, she had already fainted from fright.] [You took out a Life Extension Pill and calmly explained its effects.] [Upon hearing that this pill could extend his life by five years, the second great-uncle''s breath turned heavy with excitement.] [The longer one lives, the more they fear death. Moreover, this second great-uncle, having lived for over five hundred years with wealth and power at his disposal, was not ready to die.] [Seeing the old man''s desperate, pleading eyes, you nodded in satisfaction.] [You then laid down your terms: two Life Extension Pills for ten years in exchange for fifty tons of Fourth-Rank Special Metal.] [The second great-uncle instantly looked troubled and asked if Second and Third-Rank special metal ores could be used instead, as Fourth-Rank Special Metal was exceedingly rare.] [Ultimately, after some bargaining, the second great-uncle agreed to exchange 3,000 tons of Second-Rank Special Metal and 200 tons of Third-Rank Special Metal for the two pills.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, then chuckled: "Heh, this second great-uncle''s courage is far inferior to Baili Tu''s!" Faced with the temptation of the Life Extension Pill, Jin Congxue''s second great-uncle appeared somewhat servile. In contrast, Baili Tu had much more courage, even daring to seek a breakthrough to the Martial Emperor level after extending his life. As for the second great-uncle, he might just be prolonging his pitiful existence for another decade or so... "However, fifty tons of Fourth-Rank Special Metal amounts to about ten billion in total energy..." "Replacing it with Second-Rank and Third-Rank Special Metal doesn''t make a substantial difference to me; after all, the simulated energy contained is the same..." Su Xing thought to himself as he looked at the simulation panel. [You agreed to the second great-uncle''s trade and then withdrew your Divine Sense.] [Soon, the second great-uncle notified his subordinates, and a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse delivered two storage rings.] [You cast a casual glance at the Martial Emperor powerhouse, then released a Divine Sense pressure. With just a look, the Martial Emperor powerhouse became immobilized.] [Cold sweat appeared on the Martial Emperor''s forehead, and a flash of terror crossed his eyes.] [You casually took the two storage rings, removed the traps within with a flick of your finger, and flicked the two pills into the second great-uncle''s hands.] [Having done all this, you cast a cold glance at those around you and then confidently strolled out of the Jin Merchant Guild.] [After leaving the Jin Merchant Guild, you concealed your breath, masked your Heavenly Secrets, and used Sword Flight to cover thousands of miles within an hour...] [Afterward, you changed your appearance and altered your direction, preparing to visit Mingzhu Business Association in Mingzhu City.] Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, murmuring to himself: "As expected, he set up some traps, but by overwhelming him with my absolute power... This second great-uncle wouldn''t dare act rashly. In their eyes, I must seem like a legendary peak powerhouse, right?" "Since I''ve already made my move, I need to acquire more energy in a short time! Thus, visiting more business associations is the best choice!" Su Xing did a quick calculation; he still had more than ten top-grade Life Extension Pills. If all were traded at this price, acquiring tens of billions in energy wouldn''t be an issue! S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Next, it was time to choose the business association targets! "In the Great Xia Country, apart from Baili Business Association, Black Dragon Business Association, and the Jin Merchant Guild... there are also business associations representing the military. I won''t trade with these for now!" "So the remaining three are the Mingzhu Business Association, the Daqing Business Association, and the Northern Yuan Business Association..." Any of these associations would undoubtedly need Life Extension Pills. Su Xing decided to take bold and decisive action, aiming to trade in bulk and acquire a massive amount of simulated energy! "This time, I should be able to acquire tens of billions of simulated energy, right?" Su Xing felt a bit excited, looking at the simulation panel. [You arrived at the Mingzhu Business Association in Mingzhu City and used the same trick... For the price of two Life Extension Pills, you acquired a large number of Special Metals from Mingzhu Business Association, with a total value of approximately nine billion in simulated energy.] [Afterward, you visited the Daqing Business Association in the southwestern province and the Northern Yuan Business Association in DB province, acquiring about twenty billion worth of energy resources from these two associations combined.] [Along the way, you were always cautious. The entire process of visiting these associations took you less than three days.] [Even though you felt the attention of some Martial Emperor powerhouses, with your speed and concealment techniques, you easily eluded them.] [After completing all these trades, you took a long detour before finally returning to the Kyoto Academy, resuming your guise as an unremarkable, repeat student.] [While hiding in the academy, you continued to refine elixirs as usual, quietly awaiting any potential issues that might arise...] Chapter 389: Chapter 213: Ultimate Strength? Origin Power, the Basis of Great Dao Principles! (5k) [For two consecutive weeks, you stayed in the Spirit Field Cave refining elixirs.][Occasionally, you went to the real world, using your divine sense to observe if anyone was following you.] [Fortunately, with powerful concealment abilities, no one discovered your whereabouts.] [You successfully delivered the elixirs to Jin Congxue and obtained the mining rights to a second-tier alien metal mine instance from the Great Xia Military.] [After observing in secret for some days and finding that you hadn''t been exposed, you felt much more at ease.] [One day, after accumulating a day''s worth of Great Wisdom State bonus, you set out to head to the Luotian Meeting Instance.] Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, silently chanted: "Use the immersive simulation function, duration 24 hours!" [Ding, congratulations on using the immersive simulation function, consuming 2,400,000 points of energy, with 146,330,000 points remaining.] As the prompt sound faded, Su Xing''s view shifted, and he found himself within the Luotian Meeting Instance once again. He was standing in a grand hall, and in front of him was his cheap master in the instance, Luo Ying. "Good disciple, go to the back mountain and invite Senior Brother Shennong over..." Su Xing nodded slightly at these words but did not hurry to move. Instead, he asked the question in his heart. "Master, my current cultivation level has reached the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm, and I wish to break through to the Integration Phase..." "But my current understanding of the powers of heaven and earth, of the rules, is still somewhat unclear. Could you possibly enlighten me, Master?" The Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect, Luo Ying, nodded slightly upon hearing Su Xing''s words, first praising him: "Disciple, your talent is indeed extraordinary! You have a chance of achieving immortality along the orthodox immortal path in the future!" After speaking, Luo Ying scrutinized Su Xing closely, and his face was one of surprise: "Good disciple, it seems you have already grasped the extreme speed?" "Extreme speed is a type of extreme power, and extreme power is also known as origin power!" "It''s a part of the Great Dao Principles. Typically, as long as a cultivator comprehends one form of extreme power and cultivates it to a profound level, finding a place rich in spiritual energy, and using extreme power to stimulate the dantian..." "Of course, it must also be assisted with mantras and mental techniques..." After speaking, Luo Ying pointed at Su Xing''s forehead. Instantly, Su Xing''s mind was filled with many memories. Those memories concerned the precautions for breaking through from the Return to Void Realm to the Integration Phase, along with a short mantra. The information regarding the spiritual power flow was particularly beneficial for Su Xing, saving him much time in personal exploration. With these new memories, Su Xing was overjoyed and quickly said: "Thank you, Master, for enlightening me!" Luo Ying nodded slightly, but he still reminded him: "Good disciple, your talent is outstanding. While in the Return to Void Realm, try to enhance your divine sense to the maximum. When you reach the Integration Phase, your divine sense will transform further!" "Additionally, concerning the extreme speed you have mastered..." "You were born with a thunder body and are skilled in swordsmanship. I believe that after you become immortal, the first Great Dao you comprehend might be the Dao of Thunder or the Dao of the Sword..." "But regardless of which Great Dao it is, both require extreme speed and extreme strength!" "If you can comprehend both during your Return to Void Realm, then exploring the Dao of Thunder and the Dao of the Sword later will yield twice the result with half the effort, greatly benefiting you!" Su Xing nodded slightly at Luo Ying''s remarks. These were lessons from predecessors, and Su Xing naturally took them to heart. Then, he asked his second question: "Master, regarding the breakthrough to the Chaos Origin Realm after the Broken Void Realm, could you possibly guide me on that as well?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s question, Luo Ying replied: "In fact, for the body refinement path, the core of the breakthrough has always been the same: Breaking the limit!" "Break the physical limits and unlock your greatest potential!" "Therefore, whether it is the Chaos Origin, the Great Achievement Body, or even the Immortal Body, all you need to do is to continually break your limits!" "Like before, find a place of extreme conditions to enhance your physical strength and break the limits, achieving the Chaos Origin!" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing nodded slightly at the explanation, then asked: "Master, have you ever heard of the Spirit Vein Dragon?" Since it wasn''t easy to come to the Luotian Meeting Instance, Su Xing naturally wanted to ask some long-standing questions in his heart. Hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Ying teased: "Good disciple, it seems you have too many questions for today?" "Why not invite your senior brother first? I will answer your queries another time when there''s an opportunity?" Su Xing sighed inwardly upon hearing this, knowing he had asked too many questions. It seemed the instance couldn''t always bend the rules. He decided to ask more during the next simulation. Thus, Su Xing went to find Senior Brother Shennong Youtian. After completing a series of tasks, Su Xing immersed himself in the Scripture Pavilion, continuing to cram more common knowledge about the cultivation world. Very soon, the immersive simulation time ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. Back in the real world, Su Xing muttered: "The breakthrough to Return to Void, and the steps after the Broken Void Realm, are becoming clearer..." "Next, I should continue to enhance my divine sense and focus on the cultivation of extreme power?" Su Xing pondered for a moment. His extreme speed had been triggered during the comprehension of swordsmanship. But as for how to obtain extreme strength, that was still unclear to him. "I will take it one step at a time... If I truly can''t achieve extreme strength, I''ll break through to the Integration Phase directly and compensate later..." With this in mind, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [After leaving the Luotian Meeting Instance, you began to study the Minor Spirit Gathering Array.] Chapter 390: Chapter 213: Ultimate Strength? Origin Power, the Basis of Great Dao Principles! (5k)_2 [You bought some fish seedlings from the market and dug a pond in the Spirit Field Cave, introducing the spiritual spring, and extravagantly added a batch of spiritual liquid.][Later, you placed these fish seedlings into the pond, preparing to try engraving a minor spirit gathering array on the carp in the future.] [On the day you met Luo Shuying, you brought Soul Condensing Pills for her.] [You also joined the Descending Sect together with Luo Shuying.] [After joining the Descending Sect, you quickly garnered a large number of fangirls.] [In the following two years, you refined elixirs daily, while the previously acquired fish seedlings grew rapidly into carp with nascent spiritual intelligence...] [You accumulated two months of the Great Wisdom in Foolishness state.] [In the third year, you saw the timing was right and thus defected from the Descending Sect.] [After defecting from the Descending Sect, you faced pursuit.] [You took the opportunity to counter-kill all the Martial Emperor-level protectors and erased the two faction leaders.] [After that, you deceived your devoted followers into entering the Demon-Subduing Pass to fend off enemies.] [You started attempting to set up minor spirit gathering arrays.] [Setting up a minor spirit gathering array required a high level of divine sense, at least reaching the keen realm, only then could one observe the subtle changes in the spirit gathering array.] [In this respect, you just met the requirements.] [Moreover, setting up a spirit gathering array, unlike ordinary formations, required not just spirit stones, but a special tool, a spirit brush, and spiritual ink to engrave on the target.] [These tools and array materials were all stored in the Five Elements True Master''s storage ring.] Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [However, the difficulty of the minor spirit gathering array was... it needed to align with the characteristics of the spirit gathering array, adapt to the flow of spiritual power, and nature''s energy, only then could it be successfully arranged...] [The entire process was more like drawing a talisman than setting up an array...] [Although you had outstanding talent in the Dao of Arrays, you were not proficient in the Dao of Talismans, making the initial undertaking of the minor spirit gathering array difficult.] [Fortunately, with the two-month Great Wisdom state bonus, your comprehension improved, and you took out the spiritual ink and spirit brush, attempting to engrave on the spiritual carp.] [With keen realm divine sense radiating out, you could feel the subtle spiritual power flow within the spiritual carp...] [Then, using the spirit brush as a medium, and spiritual ink as energy, you moved your brush with the skill of a dragon, completing it in one go!] [Boom! With a crisp sound, the spiritual carp unexpectedly exploded into a handful of blood foam.] [Even the remains were gone, shattering your plan to have tofu carp soup that night...] [Helplessly, you turned your gaze to the remaining spiritual carp in the pond...] [The spiritual carp, with nascent intelligence, trembled in fear.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this scene and couldn''t help but laugh and cry. He reflected on the minor spirit gathering array. In essence, it combined the circulation of one''s spiritual energy with that of nature''s spiritual energy. By forming an array, it incorporated nature''s spiritual energy within the body, allowing for passive cultivation. However, the subtle details were critically important. If it were an ordinary array setup, failure was just failure; one could start over. But setting up a minor spirit gathering array on a living being''s skin posed significant risks. Any stroke mistake could disrupt the spiritual energy balance within the being, easily causing a spiritual power riot, leading to an explosive demise. So, besides the formation, divine sense, and talisman requirements, having acute sensitivity to the flow of spiritual energy was crucial. Understanding this, Su Xing sighed deeply, saying: "Truly, one should never underestimate the heroes of the world!" "This Five Elements True Master was not only extraordinarily perceptive and proficient in formations and talismans, but also well-versed in spiritual energy and divine sense!" "Could it be this insight led to the creation of such a delicate minor spirit gathering array?" Su Xing found himself admiring this prodigious cultivator from thousands of years ago. "Moreover, this further proves the exceptional nature of the minor spirit gathering array!" "If successful, it would not only greatly speed up cultivation but also deepen one''s understanding of the spirit gathering array and the Dao of Arrays!" Su Xing initially intended to make a slight attempt to see if he could learn the minor spirit gathering array. However, he found it more difficult than he had imagined. But Su Xing did not intend to give up. At least after reaching the Body Integration Realm, he still wanted to master this minor spirit gathering array, so his cultivation level could improve as quickly as possible! "However, learning to set up the minor spirit gathering array this time seems difficult..." "But I can try it out first, and keep improving my divine sense as much as possible!" With this in mind, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [In the following months, you tried engraving minor spirit gathering arrays on a few spiritual carp daily.] [Every day, there were fewer spiritual carp in the pond.] [Although mastering the minor spirit gathering array yielded little progress, it didn''t waste much time.] [One day, you headed to the Blood Demon Cave dungeon, wanting to see the consequences of slaughtering the entire Blood Demon Realm.] [You infiltrated the Blood Demon Realm, investigating for a long time, confirming that Dragon Protector was not in this realm.] [Therefore, you swiftly killed your way to the Blood Demon Sect, broke through the Sect Protection Array, and stormed into the forbidden territory of the Blood Demon Sect!] [You destroyed all the Blood Pools of the Blood Demon Sect, and collected all the blood spiritual liquid, blood spirit stones, and blood condensation pills into your storage ring.] [You slaughtered the entirety of the Blood Demon Sect afterward.] [You then returned to the real world, preparing to see how Dragon Protector would react...] [Besides wandering the Void Domain daily, you started observing the external situation.] [Until a month later... you heard about a horrifying blood sacrifice event at the southern border of Great Xia.] Chapter 398: Chapter 216: Slaying True Person Wan Mu, Spirit-Drunk Spirit Vein Dragon! (5k) [You activated your Protective Gang Qi and swiftly escaped.][A fierce, violent surge of Spiritual Power erupted from behind you, shattering the entire relic formation into pieces with the explosion of the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [You ran frantically and eventually escaped the ruins of the Wan Mu Sect, arriving at the Immortal Martial Era Instance.] [At the entrance of the ruins, you looked at the violently twisted space formation, gripping your sword tightly, awaiting the impending battle.] [Your peripheral vision caught sight of the Spirit Vein Dragon not far away, the young dragon now freed, filled with joy, flying continuously in the air.] [Soon, a figure emerged from the formation, it was True Person Wan Mu!] [True Person Wan Mu''s clothes were in tatters, hair disheveled, and a faint smell of blood emanated from him, clearly indicating he had been severely injured by the explosion of the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [True Person Wan Mu stared blankly at the red-black blood flowing from his body, soon realizing the changes within himself.] [His emotions became extremely agitated, and he roared like a madman.] [You saw the unwillingness in his heart, having planned for thousands of years, only to end up a living dead. If he continued to sleep, he would completely lose consciousness and turn into a puppet.] [You took a deep breath, activated your Origin Force, and initiated an attack on True Person Wan Mu.] [Although True Person Wan Mu was a Great Perfection cultivator of the Broken Void Realm, his foundation was far less solid than yours and his power was significantly weaker.] [You and True Person Wan Mu exchanged only a dozen moves before his expression changed dramatically.] [Your terrifying power had clearly made True Person Wan Mu mistake you for a cultivator of the Chaos Origin Realm!] [Faced with the increasingly desperate True Person Wan Mu, you pressed on, each punch and move containing terrifying force.] [The two of you fought over a hundred miles, causing mountains to collapse and rivers to dry up...] [During the fight, True Person Wan Mu repeatedly tried to persuade you, offering to share the Spirit Vein Dragon and to achieve immortality together!] However, you sneered at this, knowing that collaborating with a tiger would not work, and only by killing the hypocrite True Person Wan Mu could you subdue this Spirit Dragon!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and burst into laughter. "Haha, this True Person Wan Mu, he was so arrogant when I first saw him!" "Now his strength is such that he can only negotiate with me..." Su Xing was disdainful of this; negotiation and compromise were impossible. "Ridiculous, you were stronger than me back then and killed me without resistance..." "But now I am stronger than you, killing you directly shouldn''t be excessive, should it?" Su Xing muttered to himself, True Person Wan Mu had to die! With this thought, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [Faced with True Person Wan Mu''s plea for mercy, you did not hesitate, picked up the Ink Ice Sword, and with Sword Qi flowing in all directions, chased after him once more.] [Seeing his plea for mercy fail, True Person Wan Mu hardened his heart and took out an elixir from his storage ring and swallowed it.] [After consuming the elixir, True Person Wan Mu''s aura skyrocketed instantly, his cultivation level directly advancing from the half-step Integration Phase to the early Integration Phase in a short time!] [Breaking through to the Integration Phase, True Person Wan Mu''s gaze turned icy as he activated his Spiritual Energy to fight you once more.] Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Seeing the surge in True Person Wan Mu''s power, you dared not underestimate him, attacked even more cautiously, and once again unleashed the Spirit Explosion Technique towards him.] [True Person Wan Mu observed your spellcasting process intently, then inquired about your relationship with the Five Elements True Master and how you obtained the Five Elements Mutual Generation technique.] [You responded with only a cold laugh, having decided to kill True Person Wan Mu when you inherited the Five Elements True Master''s legacy, and would not go back on your word.] [Thus, the terrifying Spirit Explosion Technique descended upon True Person Wan Mu.] [True Person Wan Mu''s pupils contracted upon recognizing the Spirit Explosion Technique as the same divine skill that ambushed him before, and he dared not take it lightly.] [True Person Wan Mu quickly formed seals and cast spells, gathering an astonishing amount of wood spirit energy.] [A large number of trees and vines appeared in front of True Person Wan Mu, rapidly forming an incredibly strong Wood Barrier.] [The barrier glowed with a strange light, securely protecting True Person Wan Mu within it.] [Boom! The terrifying shockwave of the Spirit Explosion Technique hit, rapidly disintegrating the vine barrier, but True Person Wan Mu remained unscathed within.] [Seeing True Person Wan Mu successfully block your Spirit Explosion Technique, you immediately became serious.] [True Person Wan Mu was indeed the greatest prodigy of a thousand years ago; this wood-type art must be of divine skill level and had been mastered to an extremely high degree by him.] [Furthermore, by consuming the elixir and breaking through to the Integration Phase within a short time, True Person Wan Mu could firmly withstand the Spirit Explosion Technique.] [As the Wood Barrier slowly withered, True Person Wan Mu walked out, a cold smile on his face.] [He smugly remarked that with your mere Return to Void Realm cultivation, you lacked the Spiritual Energy to sustain such a terrifying divine skill like the Spirit Explosion Technique for long.] [In response to True Person Wan Mu''s taunt, you calmly pulled out a bottle of Spiritual Liquid and drank half of it in one gulp, lavishly as if drinking mineral water.] [The Spiritual Liquid soaked into the corner of your clothes, slowly evaporating, causing True Person Wan Mu to grit his teeth.] [He never expected you to consume Spiritual Liquid so extravagantly.] [In this age of spiritual energy depletion, even in a flourishing era of cultivation, few would waste Spiritual Liquid this way.] [Seeing True Person Wan Mu struggling to counter, you laughed lightly, knowing that with your stock of Spiritual Liquid, you could sustain the Spirit Explosion Technique for days on end if necessary.] Chapter 399: Chapter 216: Slaying True Person Wan Mu, Spirit-Drunk Spirit Vein Dragon! (5k)_2 [True Person Wan Mu''s face revealed a hint of greed, harboring thoughts of killing for treasure.][He utilized a Wood Type technique, causing vines to grow wildly at your feet, binding you tightly.] [You raised your eyebrows upon seeing this, and with a mental command, the Li Fire Technique was unleashed, instantly incinerating the strange vines entangling you.] [Among the Five Elements, wood generates fire, and fire overcomes wood. Moreover, the Li Fire Technique was itself a divine skill of flames, possessing considerable power, making it especially effective against Wood Type techniques.] [True Person Wan Mu''s expression grew grave as he watched his technique be unraveled, and he quickly gathered spiritual power to attack you again.] [You remained unflustered. Though your cultivation level was less than True Person Wan Mu''s, you made up for it with mastery of the Earth Sword and your understanding of ultimate speed, putting you on even footing.] [The two of you battled fiercely for several hundred rounds. True Person Wan Mu''s spiritual energy was significantly depleted, and he once again took out elixirs to replenish his spiritual energy.] Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You also consumed spiritual liquid to recover your spiritual power. When it came to a prolonged battle, you were not at a disadvantage against True Person Wan Mu.] [You originally thought True Person Wan Mu''s increased cultivation level could only be maintained for a short time, but the elixir effects were incredibly potent, allowing him to sustain a Body Integration Realm cultivation for an extended fight without exhaustion.] [You once again invoked your Sword Intent and attacked True Person Wan Mu.] [With a thought, you murmured, "Come to me!"] [In the next second, a strange piece of wood appeared in your hand. The wood was entirely blackened, and you sensed considerable Dao essence within it, but could not discern the reason.] [Recognizing the uncommon nature of the wood, you put it away.] [True Person Wan Mu was shocked to see the wood in your hand. After carefully checking his storage ring, he became furious and intensified his attack on you.] [You remained unfazed, countering with your swordsmanship.] [True Person Wan Mu, it turned out, also understood Sword Dao and drew a peculiar wooden sword to engage you in battle.] [After several hundred more rounds of fierce combat, you continuously used spiritual liquid to replenish your spiritual power.] [True Person Wan Mu also ingested a number of elixirs, many of which seemed to temporarily boost his cultivation level.] In the real world, Su Xing witnessed this scene and thought to himself: "Wan Mu Sect, you truly are an alchemy school... so many elixirs to boost cultivation and recover spiritual energy!" "Could they be the richest among the three major sects?" With this thought, Su Xing''s resolve to kill True Person Wan Mu grew even stronger. He glanced at the simulation panel. [The battle continued. That blackened wood seemed extremely important to True Person Wan Mu, his face growing more anxious as he desperately tried to retrieve it.] [Thus, you clashed for dozens more rounds.] [Finally, you seized an opportunity, slashing off one of True Person Wan Mu''s arms with a stroke of Sword Qi.] [True Person Wan Mu screamed in agony but quickly gritted his teeth and frantically channeled spiritual energy.] [Through your Divine Sense, you perceived a viridescent energy rapidly regenerating True Person Wan Mu''s arm. In just a few breaths, he had fully regrown the limb!] [You were deeply shocked.] [Limb regeneration was an ability only strong practitioners in the Chaos Origin Realm could achieve, and even they could not do it this quickly.] [You realized the issue lay with the green spiritual energy. While wood-attribute spiritual energy could indeed heal wounds, it could never do so this rapidly.] [You vaguely suspected... could it be that True Person Wan Mu had grasped the basics of the Great Dao of Wood?] [Much like your comprehension of ultimate speed included elements of thunder and sword dao...] [True Person Wan Mu''s rapid regeneration ability was likely a fundamental aspect of the Great Dao of Wood.] [Your expression turned serious. If this were true, while Origin Power was not particularly aggressive, its defensive and regenerative properties could be incredibly daunting.] [For you, this was an even more challenging battle!] "Tsk tsk, worthy of being a prodigy! He''s grasped even the basics of the Great Dao of Wood... he''s probably not far from breaking into the Body Integration Realm!" Su Xing sighed, understanding that killing True Person Wan Mu had just become a bit harder. He glanced at the simulation panel. [After True Person Wan Mu''s wounds healed, he looked at you with growing hatred.] [Desperate to reclaim the piece of wood, he knew you were at the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm.] [Being at the Body Integration Realm himself, he believed your Divine Sense power was certainly inferior to his.] [Thus, True Person Wan Mu proactively employed a Divine Sense attack technique against you.] [You were delighted to see this, amazed that True Person Wan Mu had exposed such a flaw.] [Facing True Person Wan Mu''s Divine Sense attack, you neither dodged nor rushed, simultaneously releasing your Divine Sense, transforming it into a golden cauldron to strike back against his Divine Sense.] [Boom!] [The two Divine Senses collided, sending immense ripples through the air, almost changing the color of the heavens.] [At the moment of collision, True Person Wan Mu sensed something was awry; your Divine Sense was considerably stronger than his!] [As the two Divine Senses clashed, it was too late for True Person Wan Mu to retract his Divine Sense.] [You pressed on, severely damaging True Person Wan Mu''s Divine Sense.] [He spewed blood immediately after the Divine Sense attack, his aura greatly diminished, clearly heavily injured.] [You then withdrew your Divine Sense, feeling a rush of joy, and charged at True Person Wan Mu!] [Another few hundred rounds of fierce combat ensued.] [However, after the Divine Sense injury, True Person Wan Mu''s spiritual energy became unstable, significantly weakening his power. He could only rely on his regenerative abilities to swiftly heal, trying to prolong the fight.] Chapter 400: Chapter 216: Slaying True Person Wan Mu, Spirit-Drunk Spirit Vein Dragon! (5k)_3 [The battle ultimately lasted a day and a night.][At the cost of severe injuries, you successfully killed True Person Wan Mu!] [After killing True Person Wan Mu, you stored his body in the Spirit Field Cave and took off his storage ring.] In the real world, Su Xing felt a surge of joy as he thought: "What a dramatic outcome... If True Person Wan Mu had fought me normally, with his foundation and mastery of the Wood Dao, along with numerous elixirs... there''s no way I could have taken him down in just a few days!" "But True Person Wan Mu courted death by using his Divine Sense to battle, ultimately biting the dust... and I managed to kill him!" Su Xing''s heart was filled with joy, eagerly anticipating the treasures within True Person Wan Mu''s storage ring. "Damn it, and that Spirit Vein Dragon... I saved its life, and it just ran off?" "Aren''t Spirit Vein Dragons supposed to be grateful? Why is this one so ungrateful?" "Haha, but it can''t escape far... this Immortal Martial Era Instance isn''t that big. Where could it possibly go?" Su Xing thought as he looked at the simulation panel. [Just as you were about to enter the Spirit Field Cave, a dragon''s roar suddenly came from behind.] [You instantly turned around, seeing a small dragon, over a foot long, flying towards you from the clouds, its eyes filled with gratitude.] [You were overjoyed, thinking you might have misunderstood this Spirit Vein Dragon, wondering if it came to repay its debt.] [The Spirit Vein Dragon let out a few low growls beside you, and using your tenth-level Beast Speech, you understood its meaning.] [It wanted the Spiritual Liquid you had on you.] [Although it pained you a bit, you still took out a bottle of Spiritual Liquid and handed it over.] [The Spirit Vein Dragon was delighted, gulping down the Spiritual Liquid as if it were a health tonic.] [It continued to ask you for more Spiritual Liquid.] [Despite feeling a bit hurt, you knew that one must lose something to gain something in return, so you took out several hundred bottles of Spiritual Liquid at once.] [The Spirit Vein Dragon was overjoyed, affectionately nudging your back, before exhaling a breath of pure Spiritual Energy.] [You felt your injuries quickly healing, and in just a moment, you went from being severely injured to lightly injured.] [You were greatly impressed. Indeed, it was a Supreme Treasure of the Three Thousand Worlds, the top-ranked creature of the Earth Rankings. A mere breath of Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Vein Dragon had such a terrifying effect.] [Seeing the little young dragon gulping down the Spiritual Liquid, you didn''t feel as pained anymore.] [In just a quarter of an hour, this young Spirit Vein Dragon had consumed no less than a hundred bottles of Spiritual Liquid.] [A hundred bottles of Spiritual Liquid were a total of a million drops!] [It was enough for half a year of your cultivation in the Return to Void Realm, but the dragon consumed it in just a few minutes.] [If a cultivator ingested that much Spiritual Liquid in such a short time, they would undoubtedly have exploded.] [But the Spirit Vein Dragon seemed unaffected, except its originally white dragon head turned slightly red, and it began to walk unsteadily.] [Seeing the Spirit Vein Dragon in this state, you were astonished, recalling a rumor you had heard.] [If one ingests too much Spiritual Energy in a short time, or suddenly enters a place rich in Spiritual Energy, a mysterious phenomenon occurs...] [This phenomenon is called Spirit Drunkenness!] [It refers to absorbing so much Spiritual Energy that the body and mind become unclear, similar to being drunk.] [Obviously, the Spirit Vein Dragon, still in its youth and having always been in slumber, had never drunk so much Spiritual Liquid at once.] [Suddenly consuming a million drops of Spiritual Liquid, it entered a state of Spirit Drunkenness...] [As the Spirit Vein Dragon''s drunkenness deepened, it walked unsteadily for a while before falling asleep at your feet.] [You couldn''t help but laugh looking at the Spirit Vein Dragon, keeping the remaining Spiritual Liquid and preparing to decide how to deal with this little dragon.] [Just then, a sense of warning surged in your heart, and your instincts and Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique frantically conveyed ominous messages.] [Your heart raced, sensing an impending danger.] [Without hesitation, you erased your traces, shielded your Heavenly Secrets, and put the Spirit Vein Dragon into the Spirit Field Cave before desperately fleeing far away.] [You had no time to clean up the traces left from fighting True Person Wan Mu.] [You used Sword Flight and fled tens of thousands of miles, but the sense of warning never diminished.] [You had no choice but to escape the Immortal Martial Era Instance and return to Blue Star.] [After returning to Kyoto, you immediately entered the Spirit Field Cave, where the sense of warning finally began to fade.] [Feeling your somewhat calm emotions, you let out a long breath.] [At the same time, you became vigilant. What kind of threat could have made you feel so alarmed...] [You pondered carefully. With your current cultivation level and strength, few could pose a life-threatening danger to you on Blue Star.] [After much thought, you believed the biggest possibility was Dragon Protector!] [After all, Dragon Protector was also a cultivator and belonged to the Dragon Clan like the Spirit Vein Dragon, perhaps sensing the Spirit Vein Dragon''s presence and finding you?] [You weren''t sure of the reason, but fortunately, staying in the Spirit Field Cave was temporarily safe.] Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Dragon Protector was strong, but he couldn''t tear through space to find the Spirit Field Cave.] [Calming down, you looked at the drunken little dragon, pondering how to handle it.] Chapter 401: Chapter 217: Mysterious Attacker, Innate Treasure Fusang Immortal Tree Branch! (5k) In the real world, Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him, lost in thought."The Spirit Vein Dragon truly is a rare wonder of the world... If exposed, it could bring deadly misfortune!" After a pause, Su Xing murmured, "After obtaining the Spirit Vein Dragon, placing it in the Paradise Cave should avoid any immediate trouble..." "Otherwise, if the Dragon Protector learns of it, I won''t be able to avoid another chase." "Moreover, my whereabouts in the simulator are likely compromised. The Dragon Protector will definitely follow the battle traces to find my identity!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. The battle with Master Wanmu left unavoidable traces, and with their skirmishes spanning a thousand miles, there were too many marks left behind for Su Xing to conceal. "It seems... if I want to get the Spirit Vein Dragon in reality, it''s safer to deal with Master Wanmu in the ruins to minimize the traces left behind..." Su Xing thought so. And to achieve this, Su Xing would likely need to break through to the Fusion Stage to suppress Master Wanmu absolutely. He looked towards the simulation panel. [In the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields, you looked at the drunk Spirit Vein Dragon, knowing it would be safest for the young dragon to stay within the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields.] [The dragon slept for several months after getting drunk, yet it still didn''t awaken.] [You were puzzled by why this dragon slept so much.] [What surprised you most was that, with the dragon in the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields, even when it did nothing, the spiritual energy in the cave steadily increased.] [In just a few months, the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields began to produce some Mid Grade Spirit Liquid.] [According to your calculations, if the young Spirit Dragon remained in the cave doing nothing, in less than ten years, the cave would ascend from a medium-grade cave to a superior one.] [Every month, you checked the amount of spirit liquid in the Water Gathering Formation. Every month, it produced not only twenty thousand drops of low-grade spirit liquid but also a thousand drops of mid-grade spirit liquid.] [During this time, you took the opportunity to explore Master Wanmu''s storage ring.] [In the ring, you didn''t find many spirit stones but discovered numerous magical treasures, elixirs, and items for refining elixirs.] [And the thing you longed for the most... the Heart Method of Wanmu!] Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [With this heart method, you could unify three cultivation techniques and merge them into the Heavenly Grade Technique, Wanmu Technique.] [The Wanmu Technique is a powerful cultivation technique that can be practiced to the Immortal Realm!] [You temporarily didn''t know the purpose of those elixirs and spiritual medicines.] [However, the most perplexing to you was the charred piece of wood you obtained earlier.] [The wood appeared ordinary, but it seemed to contain some kind of Dao essence, though you couldn''t figure out what it was after days of contemplation, so you put it aside for the time being...] In the real world, Su Xing''s eyes lit up when he saw this. "Goodness, the appearance of the Spirit Vein Dragon... producing mid-grade spirit liquid in just a few months..." "And as time goes on, the spiritual energy in the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields will become denser, producing more and more mid-grade spirit liquid..." Su Xing nodded with satisfaction. "The effect and value of mid-grade spirit liquid are ten times that of low-grade spirit liquid! Consuming a single drop of mid-grade spirit liquid is equivalent to cultivating directly with low-grade spirit stones... This will speed up the cultivation of spiritual power greatly!" Su Xing was somewhat excited and couldn''t wait to subdue the spirit dragon. "I just wonder how long the spirit dragon will sleep after getting drunk?" Su Xing was somewhat curious and murmured, "Besides that, the treasures in Master Wanmu''s storage magical artifact are surprisingly numerous!" "Especially that piece of wood, what is its origin that it contains Dao essence?" "And the Heart Method of Wanmu... the path for cultivation after the Fusion Stage is clear!" Su Xing''s face showed joy as he looked towards the simulation panel. [You stayed in the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields daily, observing the changes in the Spirit Vein Dragon.] [Soon, you noticed that during its sleep, the Spirit Vein Dragon seemed to show painful expressions from time to time.] [Occasionally, the Spirit Vein Dragon would exhale black gas, which, when it contaminated the spirit fields, would cause the spirit plants to wither and reduce the purity of the surrounding spiritual energy.] [You felt a tightness in your chest and carefully used your divine sense to investigate the condition of the Spirit Vein Dragon.] [Eventually, you discovered that the black gas was the reason for the dragon''s condition.] [You guessed the black gas originated from the ruins of the Wan Mu Sect, created by the immense resentment the Spirit Vein Dragon accumulated while trapped in the formation for countless years...] [However, this was unlike ordinary resentment, seemingly born from the spirit of heaven and earth, unwilling to see the Spirit Vein Dragon suffer back then.] [Unable to resolve this black gas, you created a small area for the Spirit Vein Dragon to sleep alone, setting up several formations to isolate it from the surrounding area.] [You tried to prevent the black gas from contaminating the nearby spirit plants and spiritual energy as much as possible.] [Several months passed as the Spirit Vein Dragon continued to sleep.] [In the twenty-second year, the Spirit Vein Dragon finally awoke from its slumber. You noticed that the black gas on its body seemed to have lessened but still caused the dragon occasional pain.] [The Spirit Vein Dragon opened its eyes and looked around. The abundant spiritual energy in the air delighted it greatly.] [Like a playful fish, the Spirit Dragon eagerly jumped around the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields, destroying many spirit plants.] [You were rather helpless about this and could only repeatedly persuade the Spirit Vein Dragon.] [Having been trapped in the small formation for hundreds or even thousands of years, the Spirit Vein Dragon was naturally curious and lively, remaining defiant and ignoring you.] Chapter 403: Chapter 217: Mysterious Attacker, Innate Treasure Fusang Immortal Tree Branch! (5k)_3 Because ultimately, Spirit Field Cave was nothing more than a partial spatial plane created within the Great World.However, this space was tampered with by a great power, making it portable. And after over a year of Su Xing''s modifications, it had become a true Spirit Field Cave. Yet if one had sufficient enlightenment of the Great Dao and a deep understanding of space laws, one could easily locate it. The enemies Su Xing encountered before were all beings below immortals, and it was normal for them not to comprehend it deeply. Of course, this excluded that giant beast larger than a planet. Up until now, Su Xing still had not figured out its origins. Devouring worlds, with space fragments continuously colliding in its stomach, it still managed to survive... However, Su Xing estimated that even ordinary immortals would find it difficult to achieve such a feat. "So, what is the background of that mysterious person?" "Could it be that the Dragon Protector invited them?" "If that''s really the case, then this mysterious person''s identity... the greatest possibility is that they are either the true leader of the Descending Sect or the so-called Blood Immortal!" "Or... could it be that these two individuals are actually the same person!?" Countless doubts arose in Su Xing''s heart at this moment. After pondering for a moment, Su Xing shook his head and said, Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "However... the appearance of this mysterious person should not be to kill me, but to compete for this Spirit Vein Dragon that has appeared!" "It seems, in the future, if I want to obtain this Spirit Vein Dragon, I must not cause too much of a commotion!" "Not only that... can I avoid the pursuit of the mysterious person?" Su Xing felt a bit uncertain in his heart. To verify this guess, he could only try it in subsequent simulations. Before that, Su Xing could not reveal any clue in the real world, or he would court disaster! "Sure enough... there have always been powerful beings watching Blue Star. They did not show up before simply because there was nothing to entice them..." "But this Spirit Vein Dragon, even great immortals would covet it!" Su Xing sighed lightly. In an era of spiritual energy depletion, Spirit Vein Dragons were even more precious. "Well, what''s the point of thinking about this... for now, I should carefully focus on improving my strength!" With this in mind, Su Xing looked at the rewards on the simulation panel. [Take it]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Twenty-Year Alchemy Experience]: Slightly increases your current alchemy comprehension after exchange, priced at 2 million energy points. [Five Elements Mutual Growth Technique (Minor Achievement)]: A small pinnacle divine technique close to great divine power, comprehended by the Five Elements True Master, full of mysteries. Enhances sensitivity to five-element spiritual energy and can stimulate it to enhance spell power and cultivation speed... myriad benefits, priced at 100 million energy points. [Superficial Comprehension of the Origin of Power]: The Origin of Power is a fundamental part of many Great Daos. After acquisition, it slightly enhances your comprehension of power, priced at 50 million energy points. [Spirit Explosion Technique (Perfection)]: Uses extremely compressed spiritual power to create an astonishing explosion. The effect and power vary with different attributes of spiritual energy. The power of the divine skill changes with the total amount of spiritual power. Currently, the power has reached the small divine skill level. Further research might elevate it to a great divine skill level. Priced at 200 million energy points. [Myriad Wood Technique Mental Method]: The mental method of the Myriad Wood Technique, a top Heaven Rank cultivation technique. It can unify the divided Changchun Technique, Floating Life Technique, and Xuanhuang Technique, thereby comprehending the true Myriad Wood Technique. Priced at 10 million energy points. [The Burnt Branch of the Innate Fusang Divine Tree]: A branch of one of the top ten ancient Divine Trees, the Innate Fusang Divine Tree, ranked thirty-third among the supreme treasures of the Heaven List, an innate treasure. Born from the sun and capable of enduring the high temperature of the Golden Crow''s fire, it was burnt by the Southern Bright Leaving Fire during a great battle. Because it was burnt, it cannot be used for refining magical treasures, but it contains the Great Dao comprehension of the wood and fire path, and some essence of the Southern Bright Leaving Fire, extremely precious. Priced at 1 million origin energy units. The rewards Su Xing received this time were nothing short of generous. Su Xing''s gaze swept over the reward list from top to bottom and finally stopped at [The Burnt Branch of the Innate Fusang Divine Tree]. "Holy crap, what the hell!? The branch of the Innate Fusang Divine Tree, one of the top ten ancient Divine Trees?" "Burnt by the Southern Bright Leaving Fire... containing Great Dao comprehension! Holy crap!!!" Su Xing was instantly stunned and even started to suspect if his eyes were deceiving him. He couldn''t understand how True Person Wan Mu came to possess such a supreme treasure. "Darn it... carrying such a great treasure, this True Person Wan Mu is practically the Son of Destiny, the protagonist of a novel!" Su Xing was shocked; he finally understood why True Person Wan Mu could comprehend even a superficial understanding of the Great Dao of Wood. With such a supreme treasure, carrying it for years, if one couldn''t comprehend it, one would indeed be a fool... "But, what is the deal with this energy requirement?" "Damn it, it requires 1 million energy!? Is it free?" Su Xing suspected that his simulator had a bug. But at this moment, the simulator''s prompt sounded. [Please note, the selling price unit is origin energy, not simulated energy... Note that origin energy is a more refined energy unit than simulated energy!] Su Xing was stunned upon hearing this; there was actually an energy unit more refined than simulated energy, so he asked in confusion, "Then, how can I obtain origin energy?" The simulator answered next. [It can be absorbed through more rare items to obtain origin energy...] [At the same time, each 1 million simulated energy points can be converted to obtain one unit of origin energy... Do you want to convert?] Chapter 404: Chapter 218: First Realization in Reality, Comprehending Divine Arts! (5k) Su Xing was stunned by these words. A million simulated energy to exchange for one point of Origin Energy Source? Su Xing did some quick calculations, then slowly opened his mouth wide. Doesn''t this mean that to get one hundred million Origin Energy Source...it would require one trillion simulated energy!? What the hell? One trillion energy... Even if I emptied out all the trading guilds in the Great Xia Country, it might not be enough, right? Up to now, the simulated energy Su Xing had gathered was only about one percent of that? "Such a supreme treasure...trying to bring it out of the simulation is clearly unrealistic..." "I can only find a way to obtain it in reality!" Su Xing took a deep breath, his desire growing stronger in his heart. Thus, Su Xing now had another reason to kill True Person Wan Mu! Innate Treasure twig, Spirit Vein Dragon! Any one of these treasures would be enough for a powerful Immortal to risk their life for. But now, Su Xing had actually learned about these two treasures and even had the chance to obtain them! "Stay calm... I must stay calm!" "Before I deal with the matter of being hunted by the mysterious person... I can''t act rashly!" "These two items...are not very useful to me right now... I will only truly need them after breaking through the Body Integration Realm!" "For now, the most urgent task is to improve my strength as much as possible!" Su Xing thought to himself, calming down as he turned his gaze to the other rewards on the simulation panel. Come here, this Purple Talent, it indeed looked good. Randomly stealing an item from the target, if a great one could be stolen, it would be a huge gain. But for the current Su Xing, it wasn''t very useful. Because the usage scenarios were too limited, maybe it would be more useful after entering the Cultivation World? "The comprehension of the Origin of Power...was still at a superficial level, the progress seemed somewhat too slow..." "If I cannot trigger an occasional enlightenment, the superficial understanding of the Origin isn''t very useful to me, though better than nothing... but it can only be accumulated slowly..." Su Xing sighed, hesitated for a moment, and murmured: "Well, let''s try one more time! If I still can''t trigger an occasional enlightenment... then I''ll have to rely on myself to slowly accumulate comprehension of the Origin of Power..." "As for the Wan Mu Decision method... this is a Heavenly Grade Technique that can reach the Immortal Realm..." "But my current Thousand Flames Art is enough to break through to the Body Integration Realm... also, there is an advanced version of Thousand Flames Art in the Luo Tian Grand Meeting that I haven''t memorized, so there''s no rush to bring it out!" Su Xing realized that although he had gained a lot of rewards in this simulation, Only two of them were truly worth bringing out. "I choose the Five Elements Mutual Growth Art and the Perfect Spirit Explosion Technique!" Su Xing silently recited. [You successfully brought out Five Elements Mutual Growth Art (Minor Achievement), costing 100 million energy, remaining energy 3.122 billion points.] [You successfully brought out Spirit Explosion Technique (Perfection), costing 200 million energy, remaining energy 2.903 billion points.] As the simulator''s prompt sounded, two mysterious energies entered Su Xing''s body. A flood of memories surged into Su Xing''s mind. "Yin and Yang Five Elements Mutual Growth Method... Metal thrives with Fire, forming vessels... Metal conquers Wood, Wood lacks Metal... Fire thrives with Water, forming mutual harmony..." A short segment of the formula entered Su Xing''s mind, making him feel his mastery of the Dao of the Five Elements and Five Element Spiritual Energy had become much sharper. In just a moment, Su Xing''s mastery of Five Element Spiritual Energy was raised by several levels compared to before. "Hmm~ Five Elements True Master, truly an extraordinary genius, just the Minor Achievement level of Five Elements Mutual Growth Art has elevated my understanding of the essence of Spiritual Energy!" Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing, and carefully sensed the Spiritual Energy in the surrounding world. Soon, various attributes of Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Field Cave were all felt by Su Xing. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth... each type of Spiritual Energy was like dancing sprites, jumping inside Su Xing''s body. With a thought, Su Xing could precisely extract Wood and Fire attribute Spiritual Energy and merge them, forming a stable state. "No wonder I couldn''t master the Spirit Explosion Technique before. After all, the Spirit Explosion Technique is purely an offensive technique formed by compressing and exploding Spiritual Energy..." "But Five Element Spiritual Energy counteracts each other... if the compressed and mixed Spiritual Energy is unstable, it will definitely lead to instability in the Spirit Explosion Technique''s compression space." "Only by precisely controlling the Spiritual Energy, merging and compressing it according to the Mutual Growth of the Five Elements technique, can its power be maximized!" Su Xing sensed the Five Elements Mutual Growth Art in his mind and the Spirit Explosion Technique he perfected. It seemed as if a flash of enlightenment shone through, touching upon a mystical state. Questions that were previously difficult to understand now had answers in an instant. Gradually, Su Xing fell into a state of self-forgetfulness... This was occasional enlightenment! Indeed, this was the first time Su Xing had triggered occasional enlightenment in reality, outside of the simulation! And this enlightenment lasted for a full two days! Three days later, when Su Xing came out of that almost omnipotent state, he slowly returned to himself. A tear seemed to streak across the corner of Su Xing''s eye. "Was I... in a state of occasional enlightenment?" Su Xing felt a deep and indescribable bitterness in his heart. In the state of enlightenment, Su Xing''s mental acuity was nearly divine. But once out of that state, the fall from being all-knowing to a mere mortal left a sense of loss and emptiness. This was the first time Su Xing experienced such wild emotional swings, making him momentarily lose his composure. Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 405: Chapter 218 First Real-World Enlightenment, Comprehending Divine Arts! (5k)_2 After adjusting for a while, Su Xing finally recovered from this state. At this moment, Su Xing found that his understanding of the Spirit Explosion Technique and the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique had both taken a huge leap! Su Xing subconsciously opened his attribute panel and glanced at it. On the attribute panel, he saw that his comprehension of the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique had increased from minor achievement to Mahayana level! But what made Su Xing curious was that his comprehension of the Spirit Explosion Technique had surprisingly dropped from perfection to entry-level! "Strange... I can understand the promotion of the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique..." "But why has the Spirit Explosion Technique regressed to entry-level instead?" Su Xing carefully recalled his understanding of the Spirit Explosion Technique in his mind, then widened his eyes, his mouth agape for a long time. "Incredible... The Spirit Explosion Technique has actually evolved from a minor Divine Skill into a true Divine Skill!" Su Xing''s heart pounded rapidly. There was only a one-word difference between a minor Divine Skill and a Divine Skill, but the implications were completely different! Among all the attack methods Su Xing currently mastered, perhaps only the perfected Earth Sword could barely be considered at the Divine Skill level... It didn''t even count! Only after cultivating to the Heavenly Sword could one truly reach the Divine Skill level! Because all Divine Skills involved the application of origin powers... Only then could they possess such astonishing power. "It''s unbelievable that I''ve actually created a true Divine Art through my own comprehension!" Su Xing couldn''t help but feel a sense of pride. After all, this was not something Su Xing had learned from someone else, but something he had truly comprehended on his own. The implications were completely different! Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing stretched out his palm, wanting to test the power of the Spirit Explosion Technique after upgrading to a Divine Skill! Su Xing cautiously infused about one-tenth of his wood attribute Spiritual Energy into it, then added a wisp of fire attribute Spiritual Energy... After that, Su Xing stopped and looked at the cyclone of Spiritual Power in front of him, murmuring: "Unbelievable, the power is almost equivalent to what it was before with just one-third of the Spiritual Energy consumed..." "If I continue to infuse more Spiritual Energy, the power of the Spirit Explosion Technique could be several times greater!" "This is, after all, only an entry-level Spirit Explosion Technique... If it reaches a higher realm, the power will be unimaginable!" Su Xing took a deep breath and didn''t continue to infuse Spiritual Energy, but slowly dissipated the Spirit Explosion Technique. After all, if any accident happened, the Spirit Field Cave could be destroyed by the technique. "The maximum power of the Spirit Explosion Technique will have to be tested in a simulation later..." Su Xing murmured. Anyway, this accidental enlightenment had given Su Xing a great surprise. It almost equaled saving time for one simulation. "However... I still need to break through to the Integration Phase as soon as possible!" "Only after reaching the Integration Phase will my strength have a qualitative leap!" Su Xing murmured. For the next three days, Su Xing continued as usual, refining Fasting Pills daily. In just three days, Su Xing had nearly made four thousand Fasting Pills. On December 8, Su Xing disguised himself, concealing his aura and Heavenly Secrets, and quietly left Kyoto City. After leaving Kyoto City, Su Xing went to the location he had agreed upon with Luo Shuying. The 8th of every month was the day Su Xing and Luo Shuying had agreed to meet. When he was still more than two hundred kilometers away from the agreed location, Su Xing cautiously spread out his Divine Sense to scout the area. It wasn''t that he didn''t trust Luo Shuying, but he was worried that Luo Shuying might have been followed, which would expose him. Fortunately, Su Xing only detected Luo Shuying''s presence. After confirming that no one was following him, Su Xing arrived at the agreed location and appeared on time. "Senior!" Seeing Su Xing, Luo Shuying was excited. Since her last conversation with Su Xing, she felt as if she had found a mentor in life, a lighthouse guiding her future. When Su Xing saw Luo Shuying, he nodded slightly and said: "Haven''t encountered any unexpected situations recently?" Luo Shuying shook her head slightly and said: "No, the Descending Sect has always trusted me..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing took out a small bottle of Soul Condensing Pills from his storage magical artifact and handed it to Luo Shuying. "This pill can help you reach the legendary realm!" Luo Shuying was somewhat excited upon hearing this, took the small bottle of elixirs, and respectfully said: "Thank you, Senior!" Then, Luo Shuying also took out a storage ring and handed it to Su Xing. "Senior, these are some herbs and treasures I exchanged from the treasure vault using contribution points during this period. I think they might be of some use to you..." Su Xing didn''t decline, scanning the storage ring with his Divine Sense to ensure there were no tampering, and then placed it into his Spirit Field Cave. Seeing Su Xing accept her storage ring, Luo Shuying was overjoyed, feeling she had made some contribution. But immediately, Luo Shuying said sadly: "Senior, I still haven''t found any clues about the matter you asked me to investigate..." "However, based on my guess, a high-ranking official named Dragon Protector who guards the treasure vault has an extremely high status!" "It seems he holds a higher position than the leaders of the other two factions... I suspect he might be the conservative faction''s leader who has never shown himself!" "Also..." Luo Shuying shared the information she had gathered with Su Xing. Su Xing nodded after listening and reminded her: "It''s fine, there''s no rush for this matter... Your own safety is the most important, do not expose yourself!" Luo Shuying was deeply moved by Su Xing''s concern. Chapter 406: Chapter 218 First Real-World Enlightenment, Comprehending Divine Arts! (5k)_3 Su Xing then asked, "By the way, you seemed to be trying to absorb the power of the Foreign Race before... to strengthen yourself?" "This method has many future repercussions; do not attempt it lightly!" "Show me now, let me see the extent of the mutation in your body..." S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Upon hearing this, Luo Shuying''s face revealed a trace of hesitation, but she still nodded and activated her power. She took off her gloves, revealing a pair of smooth, delicate jade hands. Within just a few breaths, these hands underwent a huge transformation. The color changed to black and became coarser, resembling claws. Luo Shuying said somewhat dejectedly, "Senior... this is the power I obtained from a Shadow Tribe corpse I found by chance... " "After activating this power, my strength, speed, and even defense significantly increased... but at the same time, I lost the ability to control objects..." "Additionally, this Shadow Tribe power occasionally causes me to lose myself... If it weren''t for my Spirit Race''s innate strong spiritual power, I might have completely turned into a monster..." Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this. In previous simulations, he had only seen the scenes of Luo Shuying activating this power. Even her entire body would transform, turning her from a beauty into a horrifying alien monster. She would then possess power nearly on par with a legend... As for the Spirit Race, their original power lies in their spiritual power... which is almost akin to telekinesis! Su Xing thought it over and said, "From now on, you should focus on cultivating your Spirit Race power... reaching the peak in spiritual power may not be weaker than other power systems!" "Although the Shadow Tribe''s power is strong, the side effects are too great, and it is ultimately not your own power... you should stop using it." "Additionally, I will try to find a way to remove the side effects from your body..." Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Shuying obediently nodded. Afterward, Su Xing and Luo Shuying discussed some other matters before parting ways. Before leaving, Su Xing shielded the Heavenly Secrets of the area and cleaned up all traces. Then he flew on his sword in large circles before returning to Kyoto City. Back in Kyoto City, after entering the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing took out the storage ring Luo Shuying had given him before and began examining its contents. Two thousand Essence-Nourishing Herbs, two thousand Yellow Immortal Essences... and dozens of Dragon Spirit Flowers and Yuanwu Herbs... along with various other herbs. Su Xing felt a burst of emotion as he looked at the materials in the storage ring. He merely mentioned it in passing, but Luo Shuying brought all these for him. "Essence-Nourishing Herb and Yellow Immortal Essence... these are herbs that can help a Grandmaster Level profession user break through to the Heavenly King Level!" "Even though these things are not considered precious in the Descending Sect, Luo Shuying must have paid a considerable price to get them..." Su Xing thought. He planted some of these herbs in the medicinal field. Once they grow, Su Xing would have an inexhaustible supply of spiritual medicine. He kept the rest for future alchemy. Although now is not the time to bring Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills into the world, they will be needed eventually. On December 9th, as scheduled, Su Xing went to meet Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue was wearing a light blue wool long coat with flared jeans, looking very youthful and vibrant. The two sat facing each other and quickly got to business. "Boss, I have successfully resolved the matter you asked me to handle last time!" "Five thousand elixirs can exchange for the ten-year contract of a second-tier alien metal mine! All the alien metal mined during this period belongs to us!" "And the Great Xia Military said that the more of these elixirs, the better. If we can provide fifty thousand elixirs, even ten second-tier alien metal mines would be no problem!" Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this. A ten-year contract was practically the same as permanent for Su Xing. By then, Su Xing would likely already be an ultimate powerhouse in the Three Thousand Worlds. With this thought, Su Xing handed the stored elixirs over to Jin Congxue and said, "This batch of elixirs, along with the ones I gave you earlier... should total around fifty thousand, just enough to buy a second-tier alien metal mine..." "Afterward, we will focus all our efforts on acquiring alien metal mines. Around every two months, we should be able to acquire another second-tier alien metal mine!" Su Xing said. For him, the main ingredient for the Fasting Pill is Spirit Rice, so there will never be a shortage of materials. But what he lacked was the time needed to produce the elixirs. No matter how fast he was, he could only make around a thousand elixirs a day. "It seems I need to find a way to produce more elixirs... only by increasing production speed can I gain more power!" Thinking about this, Su Xing''s heart stirred, and he murmured, "In the ruins of the Wan Mu Sect, I encountered Living Dead Puppets that could cultivate Spirit Fields... so is it possible that there are also Living Dead Puppets capable of making elixirs?" His eyes lit up at this thought. If he could indeed create puppets that could produce elixirs, the rate at which he acquired them would skyrocket! "In the damned Zong''s storage ring, there are eight puppets... maybe I can put them to use..." "However, I don''t know much about puppet crafting; perhaps I should further explore the Luo Tian Meeting Instance!" Su Xing increasingly understood the importance of knowledge in the Cultivation World. The Hundred Arts of Cultivation, including alchemy, formation, talisman crafting, and artifact refining, also encompassed puppet crafting. "For me, if I can create puppets that produce elixirs, my energy-gathering efficiency will undergo a qualitative transformation!" Chapter 407: Chapter 219: Hundred Arts of Cultivation, Dao of Puppets! (5k, please subscribe) Su Xing felt a bit of anticipation in his heart. Soon, the meeting with Jin Congxue successfully concluded. Su Xing disguised himself and hid his breath, stealthily returning to the school. Converting the new week''s goods into simulated energy, Su Xing gained over a billion more points of simulated energy. Currently, the Tarot Commerce Association could provide Su Xing with a little over a billion points of simulated energy every week, and this rate was slowly increasing. Starting next week, the Tarot Commerce Association would be able to provide a staggering one and a half billion points of energy each week. A second-tier alien metal mining area instance alone could provide Su Xing with fifty million points of energy in one week! "Next, I should try to understand the Dao of Puppets... The Fasting Pill is just the most basic elixir, not difficult to refine at all. If I can successfully create a puppet with this function, my speed in alchemy will increase several times over, even up to dozens of times!" "By then, I might be able to refine tens of thousands of Fasting Pills in a week, equivalent to gaining the energy of an extra second-tier alien metal mining area instance!" Su Xing''s heart pounded with excitement. If he could accomplish this, he would be able to entirely provide for the simulated energy needed for the entire Integration Phase and Chaos Origin Realm! On December 9, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation. "Start simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 6,500 points of energy, remaining energy: 3.02533 billion points, remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy; extracting golden legendary talent costs 1 million points of energy. Would you like to extract?] Su Xing thought for a moment; this time, he did not plan to extract new talents. First, the forty percent probability was too low, making it unlikely for Su Xing to draw a golden talent. Second, Su Xing currently needed a talent he had drawn before. Talisman Master! Regarding his comprehension of the Minor Spirit Gathering Array, Su Xing already had a certain foundation in the Dao of Arrays, and his understanding of the Five Elements was consummate. What he lacked was some of the techniques for drawing talismans. If Su Xing had sufficient foundation in the Dao of Talismans, he could successfully learn the Minor Spirit Gathering Array. By then, his cultivation after breaking through the Integration Phase would progress much faster. "Besides... there''s another important point: the Dao of Puppets seems to have some connection to the Dao of Talismans as well..." Su Xing pondered this and muttered to himself: "Use the talent pool extraction function!" The next moment, a mirage-like tiger slot machine appeared before Su Xing. Without hesitation, Su Xing tried to extract the purple talent. After attempting over thirty times, Su Xing finally drew the talent he needed, Talisman Expert! [Talisman Expert]: Purple talent you have a highly innate ability for making talismans. It is easier for you to learn new talismans, and your success rate in making talismans is slightly increased. [Ding! You have successfully extracted the purple talent, Talisman Expert. Remaining energy: 3.02143 billion points. Would you like to start the simulation?] Su Xing silently confirmed in his mind and then looked at the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were in a simulation.] [Over the next ten days, you dug a pond in the blessed land, poured spiritual spring water and spiritual liquid into it, and bought many fish fry to put in the pond.] [You accumulated a day''s worth of Great Wisdom State buff.] [After finishing all this, you went to the Luotian Meeting instance.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this. He planned to explore methods to remove the black qi from the spirit dragon in this simulation. Additionally, Su Xing needed to strengthen his cultivation in the Dao of Puppets and the Dao of Talismans. Therefore, Su Xing chose to re-enter the Luotian Meeting instance to acquire relevant knowledge. "Use the immersive simulation function for 24 hours..." Su Xing muttered. [Congratulations on using the immersive simulation function, consuming 2.4 million points of energy, remaining energy: 3.01903 billion points.] As the simulator''s prompt sound fell, Su Xing''s vision changed. In the next second, Su Xing found himself in the grand hall of the Luo Tian Sect. He heard the voice of the sect master, Luo Ying, by his ear. "Good disciple, the Luotian Meeting is about to commence... Go to the back mountain to invite your senior brother, Shennong, here..." "Yes, Master!" Su Xing responded but did not move. Luo Ying, seeing this, asked puzzledly: "Good disciple, why do you not go? Do you have something to inquire about?" Su Xing nodded after hearing this and asked: "Master, I indeed have a question to ask..." "Recently, in the Scripture Pavilion, I saw an ancient text that recorded the spirit vein dragon and noted a story..." "It said that the spirit vein dragon was condensed from the essence of heaven and earth, but if trapped in an array, it would be entangled with black qi..." Su Xing naturally could not say he had encountered this situation himself, so he pretended to have read about it in an ancient text. After all, the books in the Scripture Pavilion were as numerous as cattle; Su Xing believed his master could not possibly have read them all. After pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued to ask: S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Disciple wants to know the source of this black qi and if there is a way to dispel it?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Ying smiled and said: "Heh, you are indeed curious..." After pondering for a moment, Luo Ying said: "The spirit vein dragon has always been very mysterious... The black qi you described has never been encountered by me..." "However, if it was because of being trapped in an array, leading to the birth of black qi... I do have some thoughts on the source of this black qi." "The spirit vein dragon naturally loves freedom and is favored by heaven with unique advantages... If an evil cultivator disregards heaven and forcibly imprisons a spirit vein dragon, it might lead to the interference of a world''s will in some place..." "Moreover, the grievance of the spirit vein dragon accumulates and cannot dissipate... thus forming this black qi!" Chapter 408: Chapter 219: Hundred Arts of Cultivation, Dao of Puppets! (5k, please subscribe)_2 After a pause, Luo Ying tentatively explained, "As for the solution I think... First, we must rescue the Spirit Vein Dragon and treat it well. Perhaps after a few hundred or even a thousand years, the resentment will be resolved, and the dark energy will naturally dissipate..." "Of course, this method would take a very long time, possibly even ten thousand years..." S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Besides this, if we can set up some formations to dissolve resentment and shield the will of the world, and keep the Spirit Vein Dragon within them for years, it might help the resentment dissipate more quickly!" Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this. Dissolving resentment and shielding the will of the world This sounded like even this method would not be fast enough? So Su Xing, unwilling to give up, asked, "Master, is there any other method to dissolve this dark energy more quickly?" After a moment of hesitation, Luo Ying replied, "In the fifth level of the Scripture Pavilion, there is a secret method... called Transplanting Flowers and Trees. It can transfer the positive and negative effects of all things onto oneself... If you are willing, you can transfer this dark energy onto yourself..." "However, this might damage your cultivation, and it requires a very high state of mind to reduce this impact. You should also use the Heart Cleansing Art and Heart Cleansing Pill to quickly dissolve the resentment within yourself..." After hearing Luo Ying''s words, Su Xing''s eyes brightened. Transferring the dark energy onto himself and then dissolving it on his own, this method seemed feasible? But Su Xing still asked, "Master, will this transfer method have any side effects?" Luo Ying smiled and said, "The Spirit Vein Dragon is different from cultivators. Its resentment is extremely difficult to dissolve..." "However, ordinary cultivators, even if they ascend, inevitably experience seven emotions and six desires. The resentment and joy would just cause some emotional changes... If resolved in time, there should be no major issues..." Su Xing was completely reassured after Luo Ying''s explanation. Having passed the five gates of Divinity Transformation, Su Xing''s mind state was transcendent, and he believed he could bear this bit of resentment without issue. He decided to try it later. Then Su Xing asked another question. "Master, I have recently been researching the Dao of Puppets. Do you have any insights on this?" Luo Ying thought for a moment before responding, "I am not very skilled in the Dao of Puppets" "However, in the Scripture Pavilion, Ghost Grandma has quite extensive research in this area. Although her temper is eccentric... perhaps you can ask her?" Su Xing nodded upon hearing this. Surprised that Ghost Grandma was also proficient in the Dao of Puppets, he thought he might be able to learn a puppet method from her! With this in mind, Su Xing quickly left the hall. Shortly after, Su Xing brought Senior Brother Shennong to the hall, completed the task process, and eagerly hurried to the Luo Tian Sect''s Scripture Pavilion. In the Scripture Pavilion, Su Xing went to the fifth level and found a book titled "Detailed Explanation of the Dao of Puppets," which he read with great interest. While reading, Su Xing also secretly observed his surroundings. According to previous experience, Ghost Grandma would soon come looking for Su Xing. Sure enough, after reading for an hour or two, Su Xing heard Ghost Grandma''s voice beside his ear. "You are looking for me?" Su Xing''s heart shook at the sound, and he immediately turned around to bow, saying, "Yes, Ghost Grandma... I have a matter to inquire about regarding the Dao of Puppets... I heard that you have extensive research in this area?" Ghost Grandma, hearing Su Xing, asked with great interest, "Oh? Nowadays, few young cultivators are willing to learn the Dao of Puppets... It is mostly regarded as the practice of evil cultivators..." "However, the Dao of Puppets, too, has its distinction between right and evil. Which one do you wish to learn?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, thinking that Ghost Grandma was willing to give guidance. He immediately said, "Please guide me, Grandma!" Ghost Grandma nodded slightly and said slowly, "The Dao of Puppets is considered an aberrant path within the Hundred Arts of Cultivation" "And the reason for this is the existence of the human puppet method!" "The Dao of Puppets is generally divided into two categories: the human puppet method and the artifact puppet method!" "The so-called human puppet method involves refining a living person into a living dead, eventually transforming them into a puppet..." "Compared to the artifact puppet method, the human puppet method has many advantages... For example, it saves puppet-refining materials, the puppet''s strength is formidable, retaining most of the cultivator''s strength and skills from their previous life..." "But the human puppet method is despised by righteous cultivators... Because it is easy to refine, many puppet masters step into the path of evil!" After a pause, Ghost Grandma continued to explain, "In contrast, the artifact puppet method involves using rare metals and celestial treasures... driven by Spirit Stones. The puppet is trained, and fixed talismans are inscribed into its core, enabling it to perform specific tasks" "Therefore, masters of the artifact puppet method are often also masters of artifact refining!" "Additionally..." Ghost Grandma said much, and Su Xing listened attentively, gaining a general understanding of her meaning. The so-called Dao of Puppets is actually a combination of artifact refining, talismans, formations, and divine soul methods! Of course, this does not mean that to refine a puppet, one must excel in all four methods. Often, a puppet master would refine the puppet''s body, the talisman master would inscribe the core talismans, the array master would assemble and install the Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit Stones... The puppet master then drives it with their divine soul. The integration of these four methods forms the Dao of Puppets! After hearing Ghost Grandma''s words, Su Xing''s face turned somewhat grim. In the cultivation world, ordinary puppet masters could indeed collaborate in this manner... Chapter 409: Chapter 219: Hundred Arts of Cultivation, Dao of Puppets! (5k, please subscribe)_3 But for Su Xing, these four skills had to be fully mastered to become a true Puppet Master. However, mastering all four skills was easier said than done. "Sigh... the Dao of Puppets, who would have thought it required such stringent demands?" "If I were to learn all four skills, I might waste a lot of time..." Su Xing pondered carefully on the pros and cons of learning the Dao of Puppets. Refining puppets naturally had its benefits, saving Su Xing a lot of time and effort. For example, for refining low-level elixirs like the Nourishing Face Pill and the Fasting Pill, Su Xing wouldn''t need to do it himself, allowing his puppets to handle it and saving him a vast amount of time, which could be quickly converted into simulated energy. Su Xing estimated that if he let his puppets refine the Fasting Pill to exchange for the mining rights of alien metal mineral areas. The quantity of simulated energy he could obtain in the coming months would increase several times, even tenfold! Moreover, there were tasks that Su Xing might find inconvenient to perform himself, where he could let his puppets do the work. For example, in trading with the Great Xia Military, Su Xing could let his puppets impersonate masters to conduct further transactions. Finally, the puppets themselves constituted an extremely powerful fighting force. These were the three major benefits of Su Xing learning the Dao of Puppets. However, practicing the Dao of Puppets might require Su Xing to waste three to five simulation sessions... This would significantly delay Su Xing''s progress in becoming stronger... After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing asked: "Grandma, is there a shortcut to mastering the Dao of Puppets?" The Ghost Grandma chuckled softly, looked profoundly at Su Xing, and asked: "Are you thinking... of learning the Human Puppet Path?" For some reason, hearing the Ghost Grandma''s words gave Su Xing a fright, afraid that he might be mistaken for an evil cultivator... Su Xing was about to explain, but the Ghost Grandma interrupted: "To me, the Dao of Puppets has no distinction between good and evil!" "If you are willing to do something for me, I am willing to teach you both the Human Puppet Path and the Instrument Puppet Path... How about it?" Su Xing quickly responded: "I am willing!" The Ghost Grandma said: "Since that is the case, a year from now..." After stating her requirement, the Ghost Grandma pointed her finger towards Su Xing''s forehead. Su Xing felt a few secret techniques and knowledge related to the Dao of Puppets flooding into his mind. The secret techniques were "Divine Soul Puppet Control Method," "Instrument Refinement Puppet Method," "Puppet Core Inscription Method," and "Puppet Core Formation." These four secret techniques almost covered a large part of the knowledge from beginner to mastery within the Dao of Puppets. Su Xing only needed to briefly recall to memorize the knowledge about the Dao of Puppets in his mind, but he was still far from being able to utilize it. After teaching Su Xing the four secret techniques, the Ghost Grandma said: "The Dao of Puppets requires more than just basic knowledge... Next, I will teach you the essentials to pay attention to in controlling, refining, and using puppets..." sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With these words, the Ghost Grandma personally guided Su Xing. Each pointer allowed Su Xing to gain immense benefits regarding the Dao of Puppets. Additionally, in his Great Wisdom State, Su Xing''s understanding of the Dao of Puppets skyrocketed as if he had a cheat. Soon, the immersive simulation session ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. Back in the real world, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of amazement in them. "The Ghost Grandma must be a reclusive mighty expert!" "For the Dao of Puppets, the Ghost Grandma must have reached the pinnacle... With her guidance, my understanding of the Dao of Puppets has advanced by leaps and bounds!" Su Xing opened the familiar simulation panel. Just within a short immersive simulation session. Su Xing''s panel had a new ability, the Dao of Puppets, and it had already reached the beginner level. "Tsk, tsk, with a few more sessions, I might soon achieve the Minor Achievement Level in the Dao of Puppets... By then, I should be able to control those eight Living Dead Puppets!" Su Xing felt a hint of joy as he recalled the knowledge in his mind. "The eight puppets left behind by the Damned Zong, I can now unlock the prohibitions on them..." "But if I want them to refine elixirs or cultivate spirit plants, I need to modify their internal structure... I need to inscribe formation talismans into their puppet cores to give them the ability to refine elixirs and cultivate spirits!" Su Xing planned to try this after the simulation ended. "However, besides researching the Dao of Puppets in this simulation... I also need to figure out the identity of that mysterious person!" For Su Xing, that mysterious person was like a sword hanging over his head. If this crisis was not resolved, Su Xing might find it difficult to obtain the Spirit Vein Dragon. The only thing Su Xing knew was that this puppet and Dragon Protector were somehow connected. Therefore, to figure out the identity of this simulated person, Su Xing intended to go undercover in the Descending Sect during this simulation! He looked at the simulation panel. [After exiting the Luotian Meeting Instance, you gained a lot, and you began attempting to cultivate the Dao of Puppets.] [You delved into the Dao of Puppets in the Spirit Field Cave for dozens of days, making some progress, but you were still unable to control those few puppets.] [You knew that to master the Dao of Puppets, you needed to comprehend the Talisman Method as well.] [So you took out a jade slip left by the Damned Zong, documenting the Talisman Method, and began cultivating it.] [One day, you met Luo Shuying as promised.] [After a month of not seeing her, Luo Shuying had already grown into a legendary-level expert, and under her leadership, you successfully joined the Descending Sect.] [After joining the Descending Sect, you used your talent as a master of success to convince a large number of followers.] [In this simulation, you didn''t plan to directly betray the Descending Sect but to stay within and gather more clues...] Chapter 416: Chapter 222: The Secrets of the World, The Resurrection of the Red Moon! (5000 words) ```html Su Xing forced himself to contain his shock, then asked: "But since that great figure can descend into this realm, why can''t we escape from the Blue Star?" "As high-ranking members, shouldn''t we be able to flee to other worlds to save our lives!?" Su Xing''s heart pounded. In truth, Su Xing always had a thought in his mind: if the high-ranking members of the Descending Sect could eventually escape the onslaught of the colossal entity and successfully leave the Blue Star for the Great Thousand Worlds, they would be able to survive. Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And Su Xing, becoming a true high-ranking member of the Descending Sect in this simulation, might be able to extend the simulation time further? But based on Su Xing''s past experiences, even individuals like Protector Zong ultimately died in the jaws of the colossal entity, unable to escape... Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Dragon Protector smiled and said: "Haha, it''s because... including you and me... and even the whole Blue Star, as well as the surrounding hundreds of Minor Thousand Worlds, tens of thousands of Half Planes... they have always been its prey!" Prey? Su Xing felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this. But Dragon Protector continued: "There is a great figure... who wishes to descend into the world again... it is a significant figure among the Foreign Race, you understand?" "One of the highest-ranking figures... and he has made a deal with another being among the Foreign Race. The entire Blue Star, along with all the living beings in dozens of surrounding worlds, their souls and slaughter after death will become the nourishment for his resurrection!" Upon hearing Dragon Protector''s words, Su Xing immediately thought of something and blurted out: "You mean... the Red Moon!?" Dragon Protector smiled slightly and said: "Something like that... and the time for that figure''s resurrection is already near... maybe five years, maybe ten years, or a few decades at most..." "By then, that figure will be ready for revival, and you, me, and everything else will become his nourishment!" He paused, "It is precisely because he wants to resurrect that no one in this world is allowed to leave!" "Moreover, that figure has already made pre-arrangements... any strong being on the Blue Star will eventually fall under his watchful eye!" On hearing this, Su Xing suddenly remembered those Great Emperors, Saints, and even God-level strong beings who had disappeared on the Blue Star... Could it be, their disappearance is related to the Red Moon? "But if he already has his eyes on us, how can you escape from this sealed world?" On hearing Su Xing''s question, Dragon Protector smiled and said: "That figure wants to resurrect... sacrificing the living beings of dozens of Minor Thousand Worlds around... naturally he wouldn''t mind one or two slipping through, as long as there is a transport pass!" A transport pass? Su Xing immediately thought of the storage ring Dragon Protector had obtained from the mysterious person. Could it be that the ring is the transport pass? Dragon Protector''s face showed a bit of pride as he said: "Thanks to the revelation of the Spirit Vein Dragon, I was able to see the true form of that great figure... and thus get the transport pass in advance, or even I wouldn''t be confident of leaving this realm..." "Now the transport pass is in hand, I can leave this realm anytime and enter the safe Little Qingyun Realm..." "But before I leave, there are still many benefits in this world waiting for me to take!" Seeing Dragon Protector''s flaunting demeanor, Su Xing couldn''t help but feel a wave of disgust. But he still asked: "So, you created the Descending Sect?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s question, Dragon Protector sneered and said: "You still don''t understand?" "The Descending Sect is an enormous entity among the Three Thousand Worlds!" "The true master... is someone you and I could never come into contact with!" "And I only received instructions from that great figure to establish the Descending Sect on the Blue Star..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing was shocked and almost froze in place. The Descending Sect on the Blue Star... the Descending Sect belongs to the Three Thousand Worlds!? From these few words, combined with previous information, Su Xing had already roughly understood the origin of the Descending Sect. In summary, the Descending Sect is a massive organization that has always existed within the Three Thousand Worlds, full of experts far beyond the Blue Star. And the ultimate goal of the Descending Sect in the Three Thousand Worlds might truly be the rule of the Foreign Race over the Three Thousand Worlds? Or perhaps for some other purpose? But to achieve this unknown goal, the Descending Sect must place personnel in and establish forces across various valuable and potential planes in the Three Thousand Worlds. And Dragon Protector''s role is roughly the leader of the Descending Sect on the Blue Star! However, for the entire Descending Sect, the branch on the Blue Star is actually just a tiny part of the main organization within the Three Thousand Worlds. Even this Blue Star branch was established single-handedly by Dragon Protector a thousand years ago... It''s roughly equivalent to... A Fortune 500 company wanting to develop a small village by establishing a subsidiary. So they chose a locally respected villager as the subsidiary''s CEO and provided some resources... Occasionally, they would get in touch, but mostly they let the subsidiary fend for itself. Currently, the Blue Star Descending Sect is more or less in this situation. Unexpectedly, a gold mine was discovered in the village, and the chosen villager seems about to be promoted to the headquarters... That roughly describes Dragon Protector, who contributed the Spirit Vein Dragon... Originally planning to work until retirement quietly, then head to the Descending Sect headquarters with seniority. But unexpectedly, due to discovering the Spirit Vein Dragon, Damned Dragon got the opportunity to enter the main branch of the Descending Sect in advance. ``` Chapter 418: Chapter 222 The Secret of the World, the Resurrected Red Moon!

"As expected, on Blue Star, everyone in the Descending Sect was abandoned..." sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Only Dragon Protector, due to the meritorious contribution of the Spirit Vein Dragon, escaped with his life and went to the Three Thousand Worlds?" Su Xing was not surprised by this. After all, these matters were still somewhat distant from him; what he cared about now was the improvement of his current strength! With this in mind, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the rewards of this simulation. [Talisman Expert]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points. [Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, current alchemy comprehension will slightly increase, priced at 2 million energy points. [Comprehension of the Origin of Power (Entry)]: The Origin of Power, a foundational component of many Great Daos; upon claiming, it will slightly enhance the comprehension of the Origin of Power, priced at 200 million energy points. [Minor Spirit Gathering Array (Entry)]: Developed by the five Elements True Master, a peerless talent of ancient times with exceptional comprehension, combining talisman, array Dao, and the Dao of the Five Elements. It can be inscribed on living beings to perform passive cultivation, greatly accelerating the cultivator''s cultivation speed. Priced at 100 million energy points. [Dao of Talismans (Entry)]: Comprehension of the Dao of Talismans, capable of crafting talismans from one to five tiers, totaling over a hundred kinds. It''s not far from Minor Achievement in the Dao of Talismans. Priced at 200 million energy points. [Dao of Puppets (Entry)]: Detailed understanding of puppet crafting and control, capable of attempting puppet crafting by oneself. Priced at 50 million energy points. This simulation was more of an exploration for Su Xing. Whether it was the Dao of Puppets or the inscription of the Minor Spirit Gathering Array, both were greatly beneficial for Su Xing''s future development. The Minor Spirit Gathering Array could greatly enhance Su Xing''s cultivation speed, equivalent to indirectly increasing his aptitude. Meanwhile, the Dao of Puppets could help Su Xing accumulate simulated energy more quickly. However, before the simulation, Su Xing didn''t know the depths of these two Daos, so this time, it was just a tentative attempt. After hesitating for a while, Su Xing silently said: "I choose the Talisman Expert talent and the entry-level comprehension of the Origin of Power!" The Talisman Expert talent would allow Su Xing to go further in the Dao of Talismans and the Dao of Puppets. It was also a necessary condition for setting up the Minor Spirit Gathering Array, so Su Xing had no choice but to select it. "As for comprehension of the Origin Power, since there was no epiphany, accumulation over time is the only way!" "As long as the Origin of Power reaches Minor Achievement, I can attempt to break through to the Body Integration Realm!" The simulator''s prompt sounded in Su Xing''s ears. [Ding, talent slots are full. Replace talent?] Hearing this, Su Xing glanced at his talents and decided to replace his blue talent "Big Appetite" since it provided too little help to him now. [Replacing talent...] [You successfully acquired the Purple Talent Talisman Expert, costing 1 million energy. Remaining energy: 3 billion 132.3 million points.] [You successfully acquired comprehension of the Origin of Power (Entry-level), costing 200 million energy. Remaining energy: 2 billion 813.23 million points.] As the simulator''s prompt faded, two mysterious forces entered Su Xing''s body. The first thing Su Xing felt was a great enhancement in his comprehension of the Dao of Talismans. The problems that Su Xing couldn''t understand before all became clear. Indeed, with any Dao, talent and aptitude were extremely important. Then, many insights about the Origin of Power suddenly filled Su Xing''s mind. Su Xing calmed his mind and sat cross-legged in front of the thatched hut. After a quarter-hour passed, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes. Upon reopening his eyes, a trace of astonishment appeared in Su Xing''s eyes. "The Origin of Power... pursuing the ultimate strength..." Su Xing carefully sensed it, seeming to perceive a rough power of origin within himself. Speed and strength... these two origins are the foundational structures of many Great Daos. Now that Su Xing, just at Great Perfection in the Return to Void Realm, could sense these two origins, it would greatly benefit his future cultivation! Su Xing''s heart moved, and a weak Origin of Power was activated. Subsequently, Su Xing felt his strength suddenly increase to an unprecedented level in a short time... This was at least a fivefold increase in power! Su Xing took a deep breath, finding it hard to believe that such a minor origin power could give him such a massive enhancement. Under the empowerment of the Origin Power, Su Xing''s strength immediately surged from 5 million tons to 25 million tons! If added with the support of Origin Force, it could reach an astonishing 50 million tons! This was the terrifying power that only mid-Chaos Origin Realm experts could reach! But Su Xing, already mastered while at Great Perfection in the Broken Void Realm... However, this extreme power only lasted for a few breaths before quickly dissipating. The root cause was that Su Xing''s comprehension of the Origin of Power was too shallow and could only maintain it for a very short time. After one use, he had to wait a long time before he could release it again... "Roughly equivalent to one strike in a battle... I can trigger a single hit with fivefold power boost!" "And this is just the entry-level of the Origin of Power... How terrifying would it be if it reached Minor Achievement?" Chapter 419: Chapter 223 Puppet? Just an Alchemy Toolman 007! (5k) Su Xing was shocked, and at the same time muttered with some surprise, "If I trigger the Origin of Power... I should be able to instantly kill True Person Wan Mu with one punch, right?" "After killing True Person Wan Mu, perhaps the Spirit Vein Dragon won''t be exposed... By then, maybe the Dragon Protector won''t know about the emergence of the Spirit Vein Dragon?" Su Xing was lost in thought. But this was just Su Xing''s guess. To know the specific situation, Su Xing still needed to try it in the next simulation. "And the Dao of Puppets... Now, after receiving two lessons from Ghost Grandma, although my study of the Dao of Puppets is at the beginner level, it should be enough to drive ordinary puppets, right?" Su Xing looked at the eight puppets left by the Damned Zong. If these eight puppets were slightly modified, perhaps Su Xing could have a batch of free labor for alchemy and farming. So, in the next week, Su Xing began to try modifying the Living Dead Puppets. "These puppets are all combat types... they are not specifically for alchemy. The abilities of humanoid puppets are not much different from their abilities when they were alive..." Su Xing first consulted the Damned Zong''s diary and spent an hour to find the identities of the eight puppets. Among the eight puppets, three had wood and fire attributes of Spiritual Energy, namely Flower Fairy and the other two puppets. One of the puppets had even been an alchemist. Knowing that these three puppets had the ability for alchemy, the next steps became much simpler. Su Xing first erased the Divine Sense Marks left by the Damned Zong on the puppets, then left his own mark. Next, Su Xing opened the control core of the Living Dead Puppet, which was generally located in the puppet''s heart. A puppet''s abilities mainly depended on three parts. The first part was Su Xing''s Divine Soul Mark, which Su Xing could activate to command the puppet. Secondly, it was the puppet mark at the puppet''s control core. There were many types of puppet marks: combat, auxiliary, spirit array, alchemy, and talisman-making. With different puppet marks, the puppet could perform different tasks. The third part was the abilities the person had before they died, which would be retained to a certain extent. And since Su Xing couldn''t independently create new puppet marks to replace them, only those three puppets with alchemy talent could be used for alchemy. Su Xing named them, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Xiao Mei! Ah Da had been at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage before being made into a puppet, and he retained strength close to the peak Nascent Soul level. He had also been an alchemist. So Su Xing easily taught him how to make Fasting Pills. After all, this was the lowest rank of elixir. Even a Foundation Establishment puppet could make it. Ah Er was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage and retained wood and fire attributes of Spiritual Energy after becoming a puppet. Although he was a combat puppet without intelligence and independent consciousness, he had the ability to mimic and learn. So Su Xing let him follow Ah Da to learn how to make Fasting Pills. He would likely learn it soon. As for Xiao Mei, she was the Damned Zong''s lover, Flower Fairy. She had only the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but her physical body was well-preserved, with some residual consciousness. She was likely a top-notch puppet refined through secret methods by the Damned Zong. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Her strength was the lowest, but her potential was significant. Su Xing temporarily let Xiao Mei also learn how to make Fasting Pills. As for the remaining five Living Dead Puppets, Su Xing let them do farming and weeding tasks. This would also reduce Su Xing''s pressure. The Living Dead Puppets had no independent consciousness and didn''t need rest. They only needed regular energy infusion, inserting Spirit Stones into the core, to be used continuously. After some calculation, Su Xing found that if they only did weeding tasks, one puppet would need only one Low-grade Spirit Stone per year. Alchemy required more Spirit Stones, with one puppet needing ten Low-grade Spirit Stones per month. But this was entirely manageable for Su Xing, who had tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. "It''s just... puppets need an incredible number of Spirit Stones for combat!" "And the early-stage Return to Void Realm puppet obtained from the Wan Mu Sect ruins is almost scrapped... Maybe I can try to repair it when I have time in the future?" Very quickly, a week passed. In Su Xing''s Spirit Field Cave, there were eight new free puppet laborers. Ah Da performed well, providing Su Xing with an extra one thousand Fasting Pills per week, with a chance to produce top-quality Fasting Pills. Ah Er was slightly worse, producing about five hundred Fasting Pills per week. As for Xiao Mei, she made only about a hundred Fasting Pills per week, with a high failure rate. However, Su Xing was very patient, considering it as future accumulation. As long as there were enough puppets, Su Xing could produce tens of thousands of Fasting Pills per week in the future! This week, Su Xing was busy modifying puppets and teaching them alchemy, so he only managed to make less than two thousand Fasting Pills himself. When the day came to meet Jin Congxue, Su Xing disguised himself and suppressed his aura before going to the villa area. In the villa, Jin Congxue had been waiting for a long time. The two sat facing each other, eating and chatting. Jin Congxue took out a storage ring she had prepared earlier and said, "The new week''s goods, including the output from the second-rank alien metal mine, are here... From now on, we can stably provide second-rank alien metal every week!" Chapter 420: Chapter 223 Puppet? Just an Alchemy Toolman 007! (5k)_2 "We also informed the Great Xia Military, and as long as the Tarot Society provides Fasting Pills, every fifty thousand Fasting Pills will give us the right to mine a second-tier alien metal mining area!" Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "That sounds about right... I will temporarily stop the production of Nourishing Face Pills and focus all my efforts on making Fasting Pills!" "Alien metal mining will become the main business direction for our Tarot Commerce Association in the future!" Jin Congxue listened and didn''t refuse; she only said, "Of course, the Tarot Society was founded by you and me, so I have no issue with these major decisions..." "And since the Tarot Society''s current operations are stable, there''s no need for significant fund injections... As for the Nourishing Face Pills, you can make some occasionally to fulfill certain customer requests!" After hearing this, Su Xing nodded; Jin Congxue''s ideas coincided with his own. The two chatted for a while longer, and Jin Congxue seemed to remember something funny, saying, "By the way, have you heard recently... Including the Pearl Commerce Association, the Northern Yuan Commerce Association... Even my second great-uncle, they seem to be looking for a legendary hidden peerless expert!" "As for why they''re looking for that expert, the reason is still unknown, but it seems to have something to do with longevity?" Saying this, Jin Congxue burst into laughter, "You wouldn''t believe itmy second great-uncle, over five hundred years old, a dignified Heavenly King Level expert... ended up stumbling several times in a day from being in such a hurry..." Su Xing''s mouth twitched as he asked tentatively, "Oh? Have they found any news about this expert?" Jin Congxue shook her head, "No... that senior comes and goes without a trace, leaving no clues... Even when some commerce associations enlisted a Legendary Level expert from the Demon-Subduing Pass to divine, they found no information about that senior at all!" Su Xing felt a lot more at ease after hearing this. After that incident, Su Xing was investigated, which was entirely within his expectations. But it was destined to yield no results, as Su Xing had shielded the Heavenly Secrets, acted covertly, and simulated beforehand, eliminating nearly all riskshow could he be found? And among the tens of billions of people in the Great Xia Country, no one would suspect a mere university student like Su Xing. Soon, their conversation ended. Su Xing, with the new week''s goods, discreetly returned to the Spirit Field Cave. The new week''s goods provided Su Xing with 150 million points of simulated energy. As Su Xing had imagined, a second-tier alien metal mining area instance could bring nearly fifty million points of pure profit in simulated energy per week! Thus, Su Xing''s simulated energy reached 2.96823 billion points. On December 16, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing prepared for a new round of simulation. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Before simulating, Su Xing set goals for this simulation. "Understanding the Origin of Power and reaching Minor Achievement as soon as possible... this will allow me to break into the Body Integration Realm quickly!" "Apart from that, the Dao of Puppets still needs to be improved; if I can create more puppets, I can get more simulated energy in the future, and the simulated energy required for the Body Integration Realm will be sufficient by then..." With this in mind, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation costs 6600 points of energy. Remaining energy: 2.96823 billion points, remaining simulations: unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing a Purple Talent costs 100,000 points of energy, drawing a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million points of energy, draw?] "Draw a Golden Quality Talent!" Su Xing said without hesitation. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent: Supreme Spearmanship. Next time, the chance of drawing a Golden Talent is 50%...] [Supreme Spearmanship]: Your comprehension in the art of spearmanship surpasses ordinary people; your talent in the way of the spear is several times that of a normal person. Looking at the newly drawn talent, Su Xing shook his head unsurprisingly. As expected, it was not a Golden Talent. "Spearmanship, huh... not bad, but who can be proficient in every weapon? Even I... couldn''t master everything." Having devoted himself to swordsmanship, Su Xing had no intention to pursue spearmanship for now. With this in mind, Su Xing''s gaze turned back to the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation.] [For the next half month, you will be making elixirs while accumulating the Great Wisdom State''s blessing.] [Half a month later, you set off to enter the Luotian Meeting Instance.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly. In this simulation, he planned to continue receiving guidance from Ghost Grandma to learn the Dao of Puppets. "Use the immersive simulation function... Duration: 24 hours!" [Ding, you have successfully used immersive... Remaining energy: 2.96583 billion points.] ... Soon, the immersive simulation ended. In this simulation, Su Xing once again gained considerable knowledge about the Dao of Puppets from Ghost Grandma. "Although I haven''t reached the Minor Achievement level... my understanding of the Dao of Puppets has significantly improved!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the simulation panel. [After a month, you met Luo Shuying as agreed and joined the Descending Sect.] [Luo Shuying was already a Legendary Level expert at this time, and you quickly garnered a group of followers within the Descending Sect.] [For the next year, you stayed in the Descending Sect daily, making elixirs and studying the Dao of Puppets.] [In the second year, you took time out again to enter the Luotian Meeting Instance.] "Use the immersive simulation function..." Chapter 421: Chapter 223 Puppet? Just an Alchemy Toolman 007! (5k)_3 [You successfully used immersive simulation... Remaining energy: 2,963,430,000 points.] ... A day of immersive simulation ended. Su Xing soon returned to the real world, with a deeper understanding of the Dao of Puppets. "Not bad, this simulation... perhaps my mastery of the Dao of Puppets could indeed reach the Minor Achievement level!" "By then, I should be able to independently refine puppets capable of alchemy..." Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [You stayed in the Descending Sect for another year, successfully refining sufficient elixirs.] [Because the purpose of this simulation was to quickly accumulate Origin Power, it didn''t matter whether you defected from the Descending Sect. To gather more information, you decided to stay in the Descending Sect.] [In the third year, you handed over the twenty thousand-plus elixirs you accumulated to the Great Xia Military.] [The Great Xia Military gained many powerful cultivators in just one year.] [Although the Descending Sect was troubled by this, they never suspected you, as you never exposed your alchemy abilities.] [Then, you continued to diligently practice the Puppetry Technique, and every year on the day of Jingzhe, you comprehended the Origin of Power.] [Thus, three more years passed.] [In the sixth year, your mastery of Origin Power improved; the duration you could sustain using Origin Power increased from three breaths to five breaths.] [This would almost allow you to throw two full-strength punches in battle.] [You were not satisfied with this and continued to delve into the Dao of Puppets while comprehending Origin Power.] [Thus, two more years passed.] [In the eighth year, you initially mastered the creation of puppet marks. Based on the memories in your mind, you were able to transform ordinary combat-type puppets into puppets specialized for alchemy.] [So, you attempted to modify the remaining five puppets you had.] [This research took another three years.] [By the eleventh year, after your continual research, you finally transformed the remaining five puppets into alchemy puppets.] [Thus, you had eight puppets working day and night for you, refining elixirs around the clock.] [You tried to have them refine Fasting Pills...] [After two months of testing, you found that the eight puppets could collectively refine fifty thousand Fasting Pills in a month.] [This would mean that, every month, just these eight puppets could yield the equivalent of a minor achievement-level alien metal mining area dungeon!] [You were overjoyed by this discovery.] [At the same time, as you continued to delve into your studies, you noticed something peculiar about the puppet code-named Xiaomei.] [The other seven puppets, though at the Nascent Soul peak, had limited potential and found it difficult to break through.] [However, Xiaomei stood out, able to self-improve and continually surpass limitations, from initially refining one hundred elixirs a week to now being able to refine over a thousand.] [You speculated that this might be because Xiaomei''s body still retained a remnant of a Divine Soul Mark from its previous life, so you tried implanting a more advanced puppet mark.] [Through your continuous experiments, you discovered that Xiaomei indeed had further potential for development, even able to advance in cultivation level!] In the real world, Su Xing was amazed by this revelation. "Puppets... can they also improve in cultivation level?" Based on the information Su Xing had, enhancing a puppet''s power either required using more precious Heaven and Earth Treasures to refine it or equipping it with stronger Magical Treasures. But it was unheard of for a puppet to cultivate itself, something Su Xing had never known before. "Could this be... the rumored Puppet Cultivator?" Su Xing''s eyes widened. It must be known that an ordinary Cultivator would cultivate as a human... However, after a cultivator''s death, their spirit could potentially turn into a ghost and continue cultivating, becoming a ghost cultivator! And if a cultivator refined themselves into a puppet, there was an extremely low probability of becoming a Puppet Cultivator! And now, it seemed that Su Xing''s Xiaomei puppet had turned into a Puppet Cultivator? "Hiss... this is an extraordinary discovery!" Su Xing muttered to himself, his gaze turning back to the simulation panel. [You soon realized that Xiaomei might be a one-in-a-million Puppet Cultivator, born from fortuitous circumstances...] [But you didn''t know how to help Xiaomei recover the remaining traces of her self-awareness, so you put it aside for the moment.] [Thus, in the following three years, you continued to study the Puppetry Technique and the Origin of Power every day.] [By the fourteenth year, your mastery of the Puppetry Technique could be described as reaching a minor achievement.] [You decided to attempt crafting an artifact puppet yourself.] [Artifact puppets, unlike human puppets, were made of metals and minerals, similar to mechanical beasts or robots...] [Before refining an artifact puppet, you had to learn artifact refining first.] sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [So, you began to delve into the Path of Artifact Refining...] [Though you had no particular talent for artifact refining, fortunately, the artifact puppet you needed to refine was the most basic, requiring no advanced techniques.] [You referenced the jade slip left by that damned Zong, beginning to study the Path of Artifact Refining.] [Having the Li Fire Technique, ideal not just for alchemy but also for artifact refining, saved you a lot of effort.] [As for the materials for refining the puppet, you soon chose the Fourth-Rank Special Metal!] [You controlled the Li Fire to burn the special metal, forging it into a human shape... This process required precise control of Divine Sense, Spiritual Energy, and flame.] [After several months of attempts, you finally managed to barely produce a human-shaped puppet.] [Although this puppet''s appearance had nearly no resemblance to a human, you didn''t mind, as it merely needed to be functional.] [Next, you began to craft the puppet''s core and puppet mark, leaving your own puppet mark within.] [You arranged a wood attribute and a fire attribute spiritual array within the puppet''s body, facilitating the conversion of wood and fire attribute Spiritual Energy...] [Then, at the core, you inscribed a flame talisman mark, allowing the puppet to autonomously release flames.] [You inserted several Spirit Stones into the puppet for its energy needs.] [What remained was the most challenging part of the entire puppetry technique, teaching the puppet to perform specific tasks.] [Lacking self-learning capabilities, you had to implant the process of refining Fasting Pills into the puppet''s core, then modify it in practice, enabling it to gradually master alchemy.] [This process took a whole month.] [After a month, you finally succeeded in teaching the puppet alchemy; it could refine two thousand Fasting Pills a month!] [Despite its low efficiency, you were very satisfied...] [Because next, you planned to attempt the mass production of alchemy puppets...] Chapter 458: Chapter 233: A New Round of Simulation, Su Xings Goal! (5k) New Era, January 13, 2025. Su Xing punctually started the new round of simulation. This time, Su Xing''s goals were clear. First, he needed to find more substances containing energy. Second, he planned to explore the Luotian Meeting Instance again to see if he could uncover new clues. Third, he aimed to reach the Little Qingyun Realm and find more information and useful cultivation resources there. Su Xing wrote down his plan in a small notebook, then muttered, "Begin simulation!" [Ding! This simulation consumes 7,000 points of energy, remaining energy 700,589,000 points, remaining simulation attempts unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing Purple Talent costs 100,000 points of energy, drawing Golden Legendary Talent costs 1,000,000 points of energy. Proceed?] Su Xing hesitated not at all and silently conveyed, "Draw Golden Talent!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining Purple Talent Hua Tuo Reborn. Next time drawing Golden Talent the chance is 20%...] [Hua Tuo Reborn]: Purple Talent, you are highly skilled in treating wounds. Even the most difficult external injuries can be cured by you. The effectiveness of your wound-healing elixirs is increased by 50%. (Ps: What? Immortals don''t just heal with a breath of immortal qi?) Su Xing looked at the newly drawn Purple Talent without any surprise. Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With a ten percent probability, getting it from the simulator would indeed be a surprise. "But... this seems to be a talent of a divine healer?" Su Xing nodded slightly. Strictly speaking, this talent was indeed excellent, especially in enhancing the effect of wound-healing elixirs. However, for Su Xing at the moment, it was still of limited use. "Let''s simulate first before thinking too much..." Feeling somewhat impatient, Su Xing directed his gaze to the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you became aware that you are in a simulation.] [You took out the alchemy furnace and began to refine elixirs.] [After a day, you refined several furnaces of Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills.] [You had earlier gathered information about Lu Yuanwu, then disguised yourself to find him.] [Lu Yuanwu did not recognize you, and therefore, had some hostility towards you.] [You didn''t hesitate and directly kidnapped Lu Yuanwu.] [Even though Lu Yuanwu was in the Martial Emperor Realm, in your hands, he was like a helpless chick. He was astonished by your power.] [You tied Lu Yuanwu to an isolated mountain. Despite his fear, he asked who you were and why you had kidnapped him.] [He suspected you were from the Descending Sect but was uncertain of your intentions.] [You didn''t answer but instead took out a bottle of Essence-Nourishing Pills and a bottle of Organ Refining Pills.] [You handed the two bottles of elixirs to Lu Yuanwu, telling him you were experimenting with them and that the Great Xia Military must not know about it.] [Lu Yuanwu took the elixirs, puzzled.] [You didn''t explain further, only saying you had many more such elixirs and that if Lu Yuanwu was interested in cooperation, to meet at the same place in a month.] [After saying this, you left the mountain.] [After leaving the mountain, you restored your original appearance and entered the Luotian Meeting Instance.] In the real world, seeing this, Su Xing muttered, "Use the immersive simulation function, duration 24 hours!" [You successfully used the immersive simulation... remaining energy 700,249,000 points.] Your journey continues on m v|l--NovelFire With the simulator''s prompt, Su Xing immediately entered the Luotian Meeting Instance. "Dear disciple, go to the rear mountain and ask your Senior Brother Shennong to come over..." Before Su Xing stood an elder with the visage of a child and the hair of a crane, smiling kindly. This was Luo Song, the Supreme Elder of the Luo Tian Sect. He was a loose immortal who had transcended the Heavenly Tribulation! His cultivation level was unfathomably deep. Since breaking through the Body Integration Realm, Su Xing''s status within the Luo Tian Sect had risen to that of a second-class Immortal Seed. In previous immersive simulations, this Supreme Elder had already been Su Xing''s master. However, aside from his profound cultivation, Su Xing hadn''t noticed any other differences. To Su Xing, whether it was Niu Ruolie or the Luo Tian Sect''s Sect Master, or even Luo Song before him, they all seemed to be merely task givers. "As you command, Master!" Su Xing responded and then went to the rear mountain to fetch Shennong Youtian, completing the task skillfully. After finishing everything, Su Xing didn''t go to the Scripture Pavilion immediately. Instead, he started exploring the Luo Tian Sect. Flying on his sword a thousand meters high, Su Xing looked down. "The Luo Tian Sect''s area is ridiculously extensive... spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, all under the sect''s jurisdiction." he muttered. "This realm is called Luo Tian Realm, with countless large and small cultivation sects within, all dominated by the Luo Tian Sect..." "The sect''s gate alone covers an area as large as a city!" "Besides the rear mountain, the sect hall, the artifact refining room, the alchemy room, and the Scripture Pavilion... there are also numerous disciples'' residences, the seclusion places of each elder, and the blessed lands of core figures in the sect..." "Searching thoroughly will take who knows how long..." Su Xing sighed. Based on the intelligence he had previously gathered, Blood Three and Blood Nine likely had a huge secret related to Luo Tian. Su Xing guessed that it might be a supreme treasure? So he prepared to search the Luo Tian Sect''s headquarters to see if he could find anything. Soon, half a day passed, and Su Xing''s divine sense had almost scanned every corner of the Luo Tian Sect headquarters. Except for the seclusion places of some great cultivators and certain forbidden areas, he couldn''t search. Nevertheless, Su Xing still didn''t find any trace of a great treasure. Chapter 459: Chapter 233: A New Round of Simulation, Su Xings Objective! (5k)_2 Read new chapters at m_v-l''e-NovelFire "Alas, searching for this is no different from finding a needle in a haystack..." Su Xing sighed softly and prepared to spend the next bit of time learning the Dao of Puppets from Ghost Grandma in the Scripture Pavilion. ... "Little one, would you be willing to do me a favor, next year around this time..." Ghost Grandma used her familiar rhetoric. But Su Xing had a sudden inspiration and asked, "Senior, what exactly is this favor? Could you reveal a bit in advance?" Ghost Grandma smiled and replied, "Your current strength is too low; you''ll have to wait until next year..." Upon hearing Ghost Grandma''s words, Su Xing felt a sudden jolt, a thought rushing through his mind. "Could it be that the secrets related to Luo Tian Sect are with this Ghost Grandma!?" "And the reason I can''t get access right now... is because my strength is too low!" Su Xing seemed to have a moment of realization. In the following time, he continued to learn the Dao of Puppets from Ghost Grandma as usual. Soon, the time for the immersive simulation ended. Su Xing returned to the real world. "What exactly is the secret of the Luo Tian Sect?" "Even with Integration Phase Cultivation Level, I can''t touch it... Now, I must enhance my cultivation level first..." With this in mind, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [After coming out of the Luo Tian Sect replica, you returned to the Blessed Land to continue refining elixirs.] [A month later, you arrived at the mountain where you previously met Lu Yuanwu.] [You saw Lu Yuanwu, who had been waiting for you for a long time. You released your Divine Sense and found no one else secretly monitoring the area.] [You secretly admired Lu Yuanwu for his open nature.] [You appeared to meet Lu Yuanwu.] [Upon seeing you, Lu Yuanwu''s face turned red with excitement, repeatedly calling you "Senior."] [You knew that Lu Yuanwu must have understood the elixir''s effects, hence his respectful demeanor.] [Sure enough, Lu Yuanwu mentioned that he tested the elixir the day he received it and found it very beneficial to Master-level profession users'' strength growth.] [He said that this elixir is a treasure for the Great Xia Military and even the entire Human Race!] [Simultaneously, Lu Yuanwu carefully asked what your demands were and whether you intended to trade.] [Upon hearing Lu Yuanwu''s words, a slight smile appeared on your lips; his reaction was entirely within your expectations.] [After a moment''s thought, you proposed a fair price: 10 Essence-Nourishing Pills or Organ Refining Pills for 1 ton of third-tier Alien Metal.] [Hearing this price, Lu Yuanwu raised his eyebrows.] [Indeed, third-tier Alien Metal is precious, but the Great Xia Military had been mining for thousands of years. Precious Alien Metal had long piled up in their Treasure Vault.] [Third-tier Alien Metal could provide Grandmaster-level and even Heavenly King-level professionals with valuable weapons, greatly enhancing their strength.] [But the Essence-Nourishing Pill and Organ Refining Pill could directly nurture Grandmaster-level experts...] [An average of ten Essence-Nourishing or Organ Refining Pills could at least produce one Grandmaster-level expert; the value is self-evident!] [This meant that a ton of third-tier Alien Metal could be traded for a Heavenly King-level expert, who wouldn''t want that?] [Understanding this, Lu Yuanwu decisively agreed, even subtly asking if the elixirs had any side effects and why the price was so low.] Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You didn''t answer, only asked how much Alien Metal Lu Yuanwu could prepare within a week.] [After pondering, Lu Yuanwu said that if the Great Xia Military were informed, they could mobilize any amount with all their might... but if it were up to him alone, he could gather a few thousand tons of third-tier Alien Metal in a short time.] [You shook your head slightly and told Lu Yuanwu to keep this matter quiet because there were Human Race traitors within the Great Xia Military.] [Lu Yuanwu was shocked and hurriedly asked if you had any information on the traitors.] [You shook your head slightly, saying you didn''t know yet but would reveal the information later.] [Lu Yuanwu wasn''t disappointed, for many military generals knew of the traitors'' existence and had been secretly searching for them.] [However, identifying these military traitors was extremely difficult; some had been lurking for decades, impossible to detect except in critical moments.] [Lu Yuanwu finally asked a crucial question: "Senior, how much of these elixirs can you provide?"] [Su Xing slowly replied with a number: "Fifty thousand!"] [Hearing this number, Lu Yuanwu''s body trembled, and then his face showed immense joy.] [That was a total of fifty thousand elixirs! At least, within a year, five thousand, if not more, Grandmaster-level professionals could be born!] [This could increase the number of Grandmaster-level professionals in the Great Xia Military by over thirty percent! It would be a qualitative leap for the overall strength of the Human Race!] [Lu Yuanwu asked when the trade could take place. You thought for a moment and told him to trade once a month from now on, at this location, and only Lu Yuanwu alone should come.] [Lu Yuanwu agreed immediately, understanding that you did this to avoid the existence of traitorous spies.] [You then discussed the trade details with him and swiftly left, without lingering...] [After a rapid journey, ensuring no one followed you, you returned to the Spirit Field Cave.] [At this moment, you began tinkering with your puppets.] [Unfortunately, apart from the first one, your puppets couldn''t yet refine elixirs with the difficulty of Essence-Nourishing Pills or Organ Refining Pills.] [Before it became a Nascent Soul Stage alchemist, the first puppet could naturally refine Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills without issue.] Chapter 460: Chapter 233: A New Round of Simulation, Su Xings Objective! (5k)_3 [But you also discovered that even with A Da''s alchemy skill, he could only refine about three hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills in a week. This quantity was still too small, and the quality was far inferior to your own.] [For the next half month, you stayed in the Spirit Field Cave, continuing to refine elixirs.] [Half a month later, you went to meet Luo Shuying as promised, and under her guidance, you joined the Descending Sect.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly. "Indeed, it was time to start trading with the Great Xia Military... For now, at least Lu Yuanwu was trustworthy!" "And with my growing power, there were almost no beings on Blue Star that could threaten me..." Having entered the Body Integration Realm and comprehended the Heavenly Sword, Su Xing''s current combat strength was roughly equivalent to that of a late-stage Great Emperor. Among the entire Human Race, the only person who could possibly match Su Xing in combat was the elderly peak Great Emperor guarding Demon-Subduing Pass. But that person couldn''t leave Demon-Subduing Pass. And the only opponent in the Descending Sect on Blue Star who could be a match for Su Xing was that damned dragon. But with Su Xing''s rapidly increasing power, those two would soon be left behind. Therefore, the only thing Su Xing needed to be wary of was enemies coming from beyond Blue Star. The Red Moon on the Slaughter Battlefield... and the Descending Sect gods in the Three Thousand Worlds! "Although the Red Moon hasn''t been resurrected yet, it''s still a deity. I don''t know what tricks it might have... So, it''s best to stay cautious." "Then there''s the damned dragon; he could contact powerful beings with ''Blood'' codenames from the Three Thousand Worlds at any time. I need to be extremely careful!" After pausing, Su Xing continued, "But if I just trade with trusted members of the military, slowly releasing some inconspicuous items to exchange for large amounts of simulated energy to further increase my strength, that''s the right way to go!" "Like boiling frogs in warm water... Once I''ve accumulated enough strength and energy... Even if I''m eventually discovered, I can simply crush them to death!" Su Xing''s lips curved into a slight smile. This plan could be summed up in one phrase: build high walls, accumulate energy widely, and bide time to proclaim supremacy... "However, the spies and undercover agents from the Descending Sect within the Great Xia Military are indeed a hidden danger and need to be cleaned out..." Su Xing muttered to himself. "As for their list of informants... Now that I''ve become a faction leader within the Descending Sect, wouldn''t it be easy to obtain a small list?" The above was the risk of trading with the military. But if he strengthened his dealings, the benefits to Su Xing would be enormous! Ten Essence-Nourishing Pills could be exchanged for one ton of third-tier alien metal, valued at 2 million simulated energy points! Ten thousand pills would equal 1,000 tons of third-tier alien metal, worth 20 billion energy points! Su Xing only needed to produce 100,000 Essence-Nourishing Pills to get 200 billion energy points, which would be more than enough to cultivate to the Mahayana Realm! "The problem is, I need over a year to refine 100,000 Essence-Nourishing Pills... and I don''t have that many spiritual herbs right now..." Su Xing frowned slightly. Relying solely on his own alchemy skills was clearly inappropriate and too time-consuming. "But what if... I use one simulation attempt to bring out both Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills from the simulation?" Su Xing couldn''t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. For the simulator, the cost of Essence-Nourishing Pills would definitely not be as high as 200,000 energy points per pill. Su Xing estimated that each pill would cost only around 10,000 energy points. He could easily bring out tens of thousands of Essence-Nourishing Pills at once, then sell them to Lu Yuanwu for alien metal and make a huge profit from the difference! "With my current strength, as long as I''m cautious... I can complete such a transaction without any risk!" "This is what you call low risk, high reward!" With these thoughts, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel. This time, he planned to root out the Descending Sect spies embedded in the Great Xia Military! [After joining the Descending Sect, you quickly leveraged your formidable power to attain the position of protector within the sect.] Continue reading at m|v-l''e-NovelFire [Over the next year, your stature within the Descending Sect continued to rise, attracting a large number of fervent followers.] [With the help of Luo Shuying, you managed to refine over 100,000 elixirs within a year.] [In the second year, you set off for the Luotian Meeting Instance.] In the real world, Su Xing chanted to himself, Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Use immersive..." [You successfully used immersive... Remaining energy: 790 million points.] ... The immersive simulation ended quickly. As usual, Su Xing learned the Dao of Puppets from the Ghost Grandma during the simulation. "Not bad... Every lesson from Ghost Grandma deepens my understanding of the Dao of Puppets. With the added boost from my Great Wisdom talent, a single lesson is worth several months of studying the Dao of Puppets..." Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, his gaze fixed on the simulation panel. [Upon leaving the Luotian Meeting Instance, you returned to the Descending Sect.] [You continued to refine elixirs as usual, and over another year, you refined more than 100,000 elixirs.] [Meanwhile, the herbal seeds you planted earlier gradually matured into fully grown herbs, which you used to refine several tens of thousands of elixirs with another batch of spiritual herbs.] [At this moment, you had more than 230,000 elixirs in your possession!] [In the third year, you disguised yourself, concealed your aura, and masked your heavenly secrets to meet with Lu Yuanwu.] [You handed over 180,000 elixirs to Lu Yuanwu, keeping the remaining 50,000 Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills for yourself.] [In the fourth year, you devoted time to enhancing your cultivation level and diligently studied the Heavenly Sword Technique!] [Within a year, you consumed millions of drops of low-grade spiritual liquid, and along with the cultivation increase from the three years of operation by the minor spirit gathering array, you successfully broke through to the second layer of the Body Integration Realm!] [However, elevating the Heavenly Sword Technique to the Minor Achievement level proved to be quite challenging. Even for you, achieving the Great Achievement level was likely to take decades; for an ordinary sword cultivator, it would take several centuries.] [Thus, you decided to dual-focus on practicing the Heavenly Sword Technique, hoping for the occasional epiphany, while also working hard to improve your cultivation level.] Chapter 503: Chapter 242: Defeating the Demon Saint, A Decades Delay! (7k chapter, votes~)_2 But after all, he was a dignified Demon Saint, and with millions of the Demon Race watching below, he naturally couldn''t avoid it.So, the Demon Saint also threw a punch, and in this punch, there was also an understanding of the Origin of Power! "As expected, has this Demon Saint also comprehended the Origin Power..." Su Xing''s heart stirred. He neither dodged nor evaded, wanting to see whose strength was ultimately stronger. Boom! Experience tales at ?? With this punch, a terrifying wave of air raised a hundred-meter-high cloud of dust, and the ground began to crack... mountains within a hundred miles collapsed. Among the Demonic Beasts army below, more than half of the non-Grandmaster Level beasts perished instantly. Dozens of miles away, an invisible shield rose from Demon-Subduing Pass, firmly blocking the aftermath of the battle. One man and one demon, their punches clashed, causing a complete transformation of the terrain where they fought. The final result of their exchange of punches was a draw. In terms of pure physical strength, the Double-pupil Demon Saint was slightly superior to Su Xing. But Su Xing, with the aid of his Origin Force, actually had more strength than the Double-pupil Demon Saint. However, the Double-pupil Demon Saint''s understanding of the Origin of Power was slightly deeper than Su Xing''s. So, their punch ended in a tie. "Hahaha, wonderful! Let''s go again!" The Double-pupil Demon Saint looked like a battle demon, excitement flashing on his face. He roared and continued to fight Su Xing at close range. Su Xing naturally had no fear, so high above the sky, the two terrifying "monsters" battled over eight thousand miles. The aftermath of their fight devastated any life in their path. In the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed... In the battle with the Demon Saint, Su Xing gained a lot of experience. At first, he seemed a bit inferior, as Su Xing lacked experience battling peers of his level. But as the fight progressed, Su Xing became more adept. The twenty years of intense combat experience gained in Demon-Subduing Pass allowed Su Xing''s pure combat skills to match the Demon Saint. On the first day, Su Xing fought the Demon Saint with pure physical strength. Su Xing was at a disadvantage but fought back and forth. He keenly sensed that the Double-pupil Demon Saint seemed to hold back even more powerful strength. On the second day, Su Xing no longer held back and used his swordsmanship to fend off the enemy. With Protective Gang Qi for defense, wherever his sword light reached, the true essence of the sword swept through. The Double-pupil Demon Saint felt immense pressure and was forced to use his true form! The Double-pupil Demon Saint''s true form was a four-legged creature thousands of feet high, resembling both a bull and a tiger but indescribable, with a skin that looked like a battle armor. After revealing his true form, his strength, speed, and defense increased nearly twofold. At first, Su Xing struggled to adapt. But as the battle continued, Su Xing became more proficient. His sword light left gaping wounds on the Demon Saint''s true form. By the third day, relying on his mastery of the sword''s true essence, Su Xing finally gained an absolute upper hand. The Demon Saint''s strength gradually waned due to his worsening injuries. During the most dangerous moment, Su Xing nearly killed the Double-pupil Demon Saint. "Phew... it''s time to end this fight, isn''t it?" S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing held the Spirit Sword Mo Bing, adjusting his breath, and looked at the mountain-sized strange giant beast in the distance. Then, with one swing of his sword, ten thousand Zhang of Sword Qi directly struck towards the Demon Saint''s neck. After a flash of sword light, a deep wound reached the bone on the Demon Saint''s neck, and blood spilled onto the ground, forming a small lake. Having struck successfully, Su Xing prepared to press his advantage and, holding the Spirit Sword, was about to unleash the Heavenly Sword Technique to deliver the final blow to the Demon Saint. But at the critical moment, Su Xing''s heart pounded wildly, as if sensing something, and he hurriedly stopped. He saw a fist-sized golden light flash across the Demon Saint''s true form, scattering and shaking the earth. "This... seems to be an extremely powerful magical treasure!?" Su Xing took a deep breath. Though obscured by the golden light, he could sense extreme danger emanating from it. But in that brief moment, a space rift appeared in the air. The Demon Saint quickly transformed into a human form, entered the rift, and escaped. Seeing this, Su Xing was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted. "That Demon Saint... he ran away!?" Su Xing looked at the almost completely slain demonic beast army and the one remaining Demon Emperor in the distance. They were all in disarray. Su Xing showed a strange expression, then brandished his Sword Qi, slaughtering the demonic beasts below... Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. ... "This Demon Saint... seems to have an extraordinary background!" Su Xing touched his chin, muttering to himself. The magical treasure on the Demon Saint''s body seemed capable of breaking space and escaping to another location. It was likely an escape trump card given to him by an elder of the Double-pupil Demon Saint. "What a pity... I almost killed him!" Su Xing shook his head. "But driving the Demon Saint away is still a good outcome... Next, let''s see how long the Demon-Subduing Pass can hold." Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [You battled the Double-pupil Demon Saint for three days and three nights, finally defeating him with a slight advantage.] [You thought you could slay the Demon Saint, but he used a magical treasure to escape.] [However, this did not affect the collapse of the demon army. Over the next few months, you rounded up and annihilated the demonic beast army, successfully guarding the Demon-Subduing Pass.] [At this time, you didn''t know when the next wave of the demon race''s offensive would come.] Chapter 253 Simulated 67 Years, Invincible Below Immortal! (Ten thousand words, two-in-one) [You arrived at the Slaughter Battlefield and continued forward in the direction of the Red Moon.][You eventually reached the end of the Slaughter Battlefield and entered that strange space.] [You glanced at the black passageway, knowing you were still some distance away from traversing the spatial turbulence.] [So, you turned and entered the Descending Sect passage...] [When you woke up again, you were already in the valley town.] [Compared to before, this time, your injuries were much lighter, requiring only two days of rest to fully recover.] [You chose the same descending point as before, so there were still two years left until the next Blood Seed Competition.] [Thus, you continued to work as a brothel guard to accumulate initial funds.] [On regular days, you comprehended the Body-Protecting Sword Aura, increasing the number to nearly four hundred strands!] [In the blink of an eye, two years passed...] [In the thirteenth year, you participated in the Blood Seed Competition, killing over a hundred Return to Void Realm cultivators and accumulating a large sum of money.] [Immediately afterward, you began preparing to escape from the valley.] [You spent two and a half years growing three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers and sold off the resources previously seized, exchanging them for items like high-grade Pill Furnaces, various herbs, Spiritual Liquid, talisman papers, and so on...] [These items were almost nonexistent in the Tiger Immortal''s stronghold; once you left the valley, it would be hard to obtain them.] [After making these preparations, you chose an auspicious day and snuck into the forbidden area.] [Facing two Mahayana Realm guards, you recklessly took action, killed them both, took the Pass Token, and fled the valley.] [A terrifying aura quickly emerged from within the valley; Mahayana and Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivators started pursuing you.] [But your Sword Flight speed was extremely fast; within just a few days, you had traveled millions of miles...] [One day, you performed a divination, predicting that within the next two days, you would face a tribulation.] [Knowing that Human Immortal Realm cultivators were about to pursue you, you fled into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, continuing to escape.] [You evaded danger and sought safety, bypassed territories of great demons, and ran day and night without stopping...] [Half a month later, you finally entered the core area of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.] [At this moment, two terrifying mana fluctuations came from ten thousand miles behind you...] [You knew it was the Tiger Immortal and Blood Nine fighting each other.] [Soon, the Tiger Immortal would win and come after you.] [Knowing that you couldn''t escape from the Tiger Immortal at your current speed, you simply laid down, found a place, and started sleeping, quietly waiting for the Tiger Immortal to find you.] [Two days later, the Tiger Immortal arrived, looking at you with amazement.] [You calmly bowed to the Tiger Immortal, expressing your gratitude for the Tiger Immortal''s life-saving grace.] [The Tiger Immortal had an odd expression after hearing this; he had merely prevented humans from entering the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and saved you incidentally.] [Just as the Tiger Immortal was about to speak, you began to pledge your loyalty, saying: "Wandering half a life, if you do not abandon me, I am willing to serve you as my lord and help build a great enterprise together."] [This move puzzled the Tiger Immortal.] [It was known that not only did demon cultivators hate Human Clan cultivators, but Human Clan cultivators also despised demon cultivators; they were essentially enemies.] [It was the first time he encountered such a Human Clan cultivator, making him quite curious.] [So, he asked about your skills and why the Descending Sect was pursuing you...] [You explained that because you were adept at planting Gathering Spirit Flowers, the Descending Sect captured you, and you had finally found a chance to escape.] [The Tiger Immortal inquired about your efficiency in planting Gathering Spirit Flowers.] [You replied that if enough seeds were provided, you could grow three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers every five years...] [You also took out several hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers to bolster your credibility.] [The Tiger Immortal was first astonished, then burst into laughter.] [He stated that he wanted to appoint you as the chief of farming at the Tiger Immortal''s stronghold, responsible for planting Gathering Spirit Flowers for the Tiger Immortal for the next five hundred years.] [You feigned being overwhelmed with favor and followed the Tiger Immortal back to the stronghold...] Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him, nodding slightly. All of this was within Su Xing''s plan; currently, these Gathering Spirit Flowers were useless to him. Therefore, it was better for Su Xing to use the Gathering Spirit Flowers as a stepping stone and quickly gain a higher status within the Tiger Immortal''s stronghold. In the future, he might also persuade the Tiger Immortal and the Money Demon King to reconcile and jointly resist possible future threats. "The longer the simulation lasts, the more I can comprehend in my Body Refinement Cultivation Level and Body-Protecting Sword Aura..." Su Xing murmured, looking at the simulation panel. [Following the Tiger Immortal back to the stronghold, your daily activities, besides planting Gathering Spirit Flowers, included cultivation.] S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the Tiger Immortal''s stronghold, although the flesh essence of Human Immortal Realm demon generals was rare, the flesh essence of Tribulation Crossing Realm creatures was not hard to find.] [Many demon cultivators consumed high-grade flesh essence to enhance their cultivation speed.] [So, you procured a batch of Tribulation Crossing Realm flesh essence and began selling Rebirth Pills.] [The price remained consistent; for every hundred Rebirth Pills sold, you made a net profit of seventy to eighty pounds of flesh essence...] [You sold one hundred Rebirth Pills each month, and the earnings were sufficient for your daily cultivation.] [Additionally, you set aside four hours each day to comprehend the Body-Protecting Sword Aura.] [In this stable lifestyle, five years quickly passed...] [In the eighteenth year, your cultivation level smoothly advanced to the late stage of the fourth level of the Great Achievement Realm.] [Simultaneously, through five years of accumulation, the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras you comprehended increased to four hundred and twenty strands...] [You prepared the three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers required for the five years in advance and handed them over to the Tiger Immortal.] Experience more content on empire [The Tiger Immortal, in high spirits, invited you to plant the Gathering Spirit Flowers in his cave mansion.] Chapter 254 Attaining the Mahayana Realm, Heading to White Emperor City! (10,000 words, two-in-one!) Su Xing''s ears caught the simulator''s notification sound.[Ding! This simulation consumed 8200 points of energy, remaining energy 134,530,000 points, remaining simulations unlimited.] [Simulation starting!] [Drawing for purple talent costs 100k points of energy, drawing for golden legendary talent costs 1 million energy, proceed with drawing?] "Draw for golden talent!" [Ding, congratulations! You''ve acquired the purple talent: Photographic Memory, the chance of drawing a golden talent next time is 30%...] [Photographic Memory]: Purple talent, your memory capacity surpasses that of ordinary people. For text-based books, you can read ten lines at a glance, and remember them effortlessly! (Mom doesn''t have to worry about my studies anymore!) Seeing the newly acquired talent, Su Xing was on the verge of tears. "Wah wah wah, it''s been two years! Almost two years now!" "Darn it... finally got this Photographic Memory talent!" "But hey, isn''t this talent a standard for other transmigrators? Why was it so hard for me to get?" Su Xing sighed, slightly regretting that the talent appeared too late. Currently, Su Xing''s cultivation level was already nearing the Mahayana realm. At this realm, for mundane books, just a glance was enough to record them. As for the arts and techniques, low-rank techniques could be easily mastered, and learning high-rank techniques would be done with half the effort! "I wonder if this Photographic Memory talent will give a boost in learning arts and techniques?" Su Xing was a bit curious and decided to give it a try. He looked at the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating!] [You disguised yourself and held your breath, preparing to trade with Lu Yuanwu.] [In this transaction, Lu Yuanwu brought you 10,000 tons of third-tier alien metal as agreed, and you gave him 100,000 elixirs.] [After the deal, nothing unexpected happened...] [Ten days later, you headed to the Luo Tian instance.] [After leaving the instance, your puppet techniques improved.] [As usual, you joined the Descending Sect. Over the next two years, you refined elixirs, accumulating insights in the Great Wisdom State.] [In the third year, you gifted elixirs to the Great Xia Military.] [Later, you headed to the Commanding Fire Sect ruins to comprehend the Fire Origin.] In the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "Here it comes! Let''s see if this time, the Fire Origin can reach perfection!" "Then, using the Fire Origin as the foundation, achieve the Mahayana realm in one go!" Su Xing mentally chanted: "Use immersive simulation for 30 days!" [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation... remaining energy 56,730,000 points.] As the simulator''s notification faded, Su Xing''s vision shifted. Soon after, Su Xing found himself in the familiar Commanding Fire Sect ruins. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After paying respects to the True Immortal of Fire''s corpse, Su Xing took out the Vermilion Bird''s tail feather and integrated it into his body. He then combined it with the branch of the innate Fusang Divine Tree and began comprehending the Fire Origin... The effect of the Spirit Awakening Pill was remarkable. Combined with the Great Wisdom State, Su Xing''s comprehension of the Fire Origin soared. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed... On the last day of the immersive simulation, Su Xing finally succeeded in elevating his comprehension of the Fire Origin to the perfection level! The immersive simulation ended... In the real world, Su Xing let out a long breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "The comprehension of the Fire Origin, successfully perfected!" "Next, I''ll find a way to break through to the Mahayana realm!" Su Xing was filled with anticipation. Perfecting the Fire Origin wasn''t only a prerequisite for stepping into the Mahayana realm, but it also significantly boosted his strength! Especially the power of Su Xing''s Li Fire Technique, which would see another significant increase. And the Five Elements Burst Technique''s power would undergo a qualitative transformation! However, Su Xing''s Qi refining cultivation was not high at the moment, so the Five Elements Burst Technique couldn''t threaten late Mahayana enemies yet. Once Su Xing improved his Qi Refinement realm in the future, the Five Elements Burst Technique, as one of the only two "Great Divine Powers" possessed by Su Xing, would still have terrifying potential! He turned his gaze back to the simulation panel. [After burying the True Immortal of Fire, you stayed at the ruins, preparing for closed-door cultivation.] [You entered the Spirit Field Cave, consumed spiritual liquid, and began working towards breaking through to the Mahayana realm...] [Breaking through Qi Refinement Mahayana, there are two stages.] [First, sufficient spiritual power is needed to expand the Sea of Spiritual Energy massively, increasing its capacity to enhance the density of mana, reaching the Mahayana realm.] [Second is achieving perfection in the comprehension of a certain type of Spiritual Root.] [You have long prepared for this day, meeting the second condition already.] [Now you only need to break through with mana, and you''ll reach the Mahayana realm!] [So, you took out the million drops of low-grade spiritual liquid and 900,000 drops of mid-grade spiritual liquid you had accumulated... officially preparing for the breakthrough!] [Before the breakthrough, you went to the Wan Mu Sect ruins, releasing the Spirit Vein Dragon from the formation and leading it into the Spirit Field Cave.] [The Spirit Vein Dragon indeed attracted the damned dragon, and without hesitation, you struck hard and killed it.] [After killing the damned dragon, you knew Blood Three would descend within three years, and you had to break through to the Mahayana realm as soon as possible during this time!] [...In the Spirit Field Cave, you sat cross-legged, adjusting your aura to its peak.] [Just the breathing exercises took you seven full days...] [After seven days, you divined and got an extremely auspicious hexagram.] [Thus, you no longer hesitated and wildly operated the Myriad Flames Technique, absorbing the spiritual energy from the Spirit Field Cave like a torrent.] [The spiritual energy surged into your Sea of Spiritual Energy, continuously filling it...] [After half a month, your Sea of Spiritual Energy was completely filled, with roaring waves of spiritual power seemingly crashing.] [So, you no longer hesitated, starting to expand the Sea of Spiritual Energy...] Chapter 257 Qing Yunzi Appears, Opportunity for Becoming a Saint? (Second Update, Please Vote~) Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, muttering to himself,"In the simulated fortieth year, Qing Yunzi has yet to exit seclusion... but by this time, Blue Star is probably already destroyed." "This means that relying on Qing Yunzi to protect Blue Star is likely extremely difficult..." "If I ask those senior brothers and sisters in the Golden Immortal Realm to intervene, I wonder if they can resolve the crisis?" Su Xing had some expectations. Though his own strength wasn''t sufficient, if he could call for reinforcements to resolve the crisis, it wouldn''t be shameful! Of course, this was just a small attempt by Su Xing in the simulation. After all, the mystery of Luo Tian was tied to Blue Star; those senior brothers and sisters didn''t know the background, and Su Xing might not dare to expose this secret. He looked back at the simulation panel. [In the forty-first year, your cultivation level increased to the Second Layer of the Mahayana Realm.] [Even though you mainly focused on Body Cultivation all these years, with little time to improve your Qi Refining Cultivation, under conditions of abundant spiritual energy and no shortage of Spiritual Liquid, your cultivation progress wasn''t slow.] [In a blink, two more years passed.] [In the forty-third year, you had your second trade with Immortal Ziling.] [Since you temporarily didn''t lack Spirit Stones and Flesh Essence, you wanted to exchange the Gathering Spirit Flower for a magical treasure you needed.] [Immortal Ziling inquired about the type of magical treasure you required.] [Upon hearing, you directly stated that you needed a magical treasure that could traverse worlds and contained the Dao of Space.] [After hearing your request, Immortal Ziling declined politely; such magical treasures were of extremely high value and couldn''t be exchanged for merely a thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers.] [After contemplating for a moment, Immortal Ziling handed you a plain, black stone.] [When you received this inconspicuous stone, you felt a weight in your hand; this small palm-sized stone was actually as heavy as a mountain!] [Immortal Ziling told you that this treasure was called the Void Stone, which she had acquired by chance while training above the Nine Heavens; it was a material for crafting Acquired Treasures, extremely valuable.] [The Void Stone could not only forge a supreme space treasure, but it also contained a trace of the Dao of Space. If comprehended frequently, it might lead to an understanding of the Origin Power of space.] [You were overjoyed upon hearing this, realizing that this stone''s value far exceeded a thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers.] sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [So you took out another eight hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers as compensation.] [Seeing this, Immortal Ziling''s impression of you improved, commending you as a cultivator who wasn''t greedy for quick success and predicting that you would achieve great things in the future.] [After this trade, your relationship with Immortal Ziling became closer.] [Occasionally, when encountering difficulties in cultivation, you would consult with Immortal Ziling.] [Immortal Ziling also purchased some Gathering Spirit Flower seeds from you, attempting to grow them herself, and asked for your experience.] [Generously, you shared your knowledge, though you knew that your expertise in growing Gathering Spirit Flowers was due to the talent inherited from Shennong, something others couldn''t easily learn.] [In the forty-fourth year, after obtaining the Void Stone, your daily tasks included comprehending the spatial power within it!] [Previously, in the chaotic flow of that mysterious space, you had vaguely touched the origin of space, half a step into the threshold.] [But you still couldn''t practically use the power of space.] [If you could properly utilize this spatial stone, even if you couldn''t forge a space treasure, just gaining some insight would be greatly beneficial.] Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "The Dao of Space, with its uniqueness and difficulty, far surpasses ordinary Great Dao Principles... If I can gain some insight, perhaps I can bring enough items to travel to the Three Thousand Worlds!" Su Xing had some expectations. For Su Xing, the priority of comprehending spatial power was even higher than improving his cultivation level! He looked at the simulation panel. [In the forty-sixth year, after two years of comprehension, your understanding of spatial power greatly improved, being able to perceive some patterns in spatial fluctuations.] [At this level, although you couldn''t create spatial tools or perform space jumps and world travel, your speed in mastering spatial divine skills increased significantly.] [Thus, another two years passed.] [In the forty-eighth year, you finally barely grasped the basics of spatial power.] [By now, you could predict the operation patterns and future trajectories of spatial turbulence to some extent, avoiding injuries from spatial turbulence.] [Simultaneously, you could utilize materials like minerals containing spatial power to craft some rudimentary spatial tools.] [In the fiftieth year, your Qi Refining Cultivation advanced further, reaching the mid-stage of the Second Layer of the Mahayana Realm.] [In the fifty-first year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved, reaching the late stage of the Eighth Layer of the Great Achievement Realm!] [Thus, another two years passed.] [In the fifty-third year, you traded with Immortal Ziling and acquired a large number of contribution points.] [That same year, another of your senior brothers, part of the second-generation disciples, exited seclusion and gifted you an Immortal Grade Bone Regeneration Flower.] [This flower contained extremely strong vitality, capable of bringing mortals back from the brink of death.] [Even cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm would see their injuries healed quickly upon consumption.] Su Xing saw this and sighed, "Alas, the second-generation disciples of the Qingyun Sect indeed have many benefits!" "Just these tokens of their goodwill are worth all the efforts I''ve put into dozens of simulations in the past..." Several top-quality immortal artifacts; these were treasures that Su Xing had never even seen on Blue Star or in the Little Qingyun Realm. Su Xing sighed inwardly, regretting not finding the sect sooner. He then looked back at the simulation panel. Chapter 279 Golden Talent, Acquired Taoist Body! [First Update, Please Vote for Monthly Ticket] "Huh? Golden Talent... Acquired Daoist Body!"Su Xing took a deep breath, feeling a little excited. Could this Acquired Daoist Body be the one he was thinking of? He quickly turned his gaze to the talent description. [Acquired Daoist Body]: Golden Talent, you are favored by the cultivation world and by the Great Dao itself. Your comprehension speed of the Origin Power of the Great Dao is three times that of an average person. You can easily perceive the Origin and use it... After seeing the explanation for the Acquired Daoist Body, Su Xing''s heart started pounding. "Just as I thought! Accelerated comprehension of the Origin of the Great Dao!" "Then doesn''t this mean... my Spirit Domain can take shape even faster!?" The Spirit Domain, after all, was an advanced way of utilizing the Origin Power of the Great Dao. Su Xing took a deep breath. If he originally had a seventy percent chance of advancing to the Human Immortal Realm, with this talent''s help, stabilizing nine types of Origin of the Great Dao and passing the Spirit Domain threshold had over a ninety percent chance! By then, the probability of passing the Heavenly Tribulation would also be over ninety percent! "Tsk... The key now is, how much strength does Red Moon still have left?" Su Xing felt anticipation in his heart. As long as Red Moon''s current strength did not surpass a True Immortal, Su Xing had a ninety percent chance of blocking its perception! Your journey continues on empire Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating.] [You traded with Lu Yuanwu as agreed...] [You began to experiment with the possibility of the Spirit Rice plan...] [Day and night, you continuously infused wood attribute immortal power into the Spirit Rice in the Spirit Field to expedite its maturation...] [Under the influence of wood immortal power, both the yield and quality of the Spirit Rice increased significantly.] [In one day and one night, you matured five hundred acres of Spirit Field, harvesting a total of ten million jin of Spirit Rice.] [For the next ten days, you worked day and night, maturing and harvesting Spirit Rice, obtaining a total of one billion jin...] [You went to the Luo Tian instance...] [After leaving the Luo Tian instance, you stayed in the Spirit Field Cave to cultivate.] [You took out the Innate Fusang Tree Branch to test the effects of the Acquired Daoist Body.] [The effect of the Acquired Daoist Body was astonishing, one day of comprehension equaled three days in the past...] [After one month, you officially traded with the Great Xia Military.] [With the mediation of Jin Congxue and Lu Grandmaster, you successfully obtained ten million Abyss Stones.] [For some time, you stayed in Kyoto to see if there were any risks in implementing the Spirit Rice plan.] [Fortunately, Jin Congxue''s confidentiality measures were excellent, and the Great Xia Military''s internal spies were completely eliminated, so the plan was not exposed.] [At the same time, the Tarot Society also faced pressure from the Great Xia official, wanting Jin Congxue to hand over the location of the Spirit Rice instance.] [Luckily, Jin Congxue was extremely resourceful, and coincided with Lu Yuanwu''s promotion, his power in the military was second only to the Human Emperor.] [Therefore, after Jin Congxue agreed to supply Spirit Rice only to the officials, the pressure was ultimately removed...] [You stayed in Kyoto City for three months, ensuring that no unexpected incidents occurred, and then joined the Descending Sect.] In the real world, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this and said unexpectedly: "Who would''ve thought Lu Grandmaster was so useful!" "His authority in the Great Xia Military actually increased... second only to the Human Emperor?" Su Xing stroked his chin, estimating that Lu Grandmaster''s promotion was closely related to him. It must have been that Lu Yuanwu provided a lot of elixirs, hence his increased authority... Essentially, the Great Xia Military was looking to befriend Su Xing, this "senior expert"! Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hmm... It seems that the crisis was inadvertently resolved..." Su Xing nodded his head in satisfaction. He pondered whether he should give Lu Yuanwu a little reward later, such as helping him become a legendary expert? This way, Su Xing could also be more at ease with Jin Congxue. He turned his gaze back to the simulation panel. [After joining the Descending Sect, you began to cultivate the fledgling form of the Spirit Domain.] [With the help of the Acquired Daoist Body, your comprehension speed of the Spirit Domain was over three times faster than before!] [Thus two years passed...] [In the third year, you unexpectedly received information that the Descending Sect was planning to assassinate Jin Congxue!] [Upon learning this, you were momentarily stunned. After a thorough investigation, you understood the reason.] [Ever since the Descending Sect''s moles were cleared out years ago, their surveillance of the Great Xia Military had almost come to a halt.] [But over the past three years, the Descending Sect continuously sent spies to infiltrate, and they finally managed to plant several spies.] [These spies were given a special mission: to investigate why the number of low-rank profession users of the Human Race had surged in just a few years?] [Following the clues, they found the Tarot Society and learned that Jin Congxue was the behind-the-scenes boss of the Tarot Society.] [Therefore, the Descending Sect decided to assassinate Jin Congxue!] [Upon learning this, you immediately sought out Jin Congxue, but it was already too late...] [Fortunately, the talismans you had given Jin Congxue played a crucial role. The two Martial Emperor level assassins sent by the Descending Sect were both killed by her using the talismans!] [After learning about this, you gave Jin Congxue several more talismans for self-defense...] In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this. "Sigh, as expected, the Spirit Rice plan still caused unnecessary trouble..." "In just a few years, billions of Spirit Rice... is probably enough to increase the number of silver and gold level profession users in the Great Xia by millions! Even the number of masters might increase by tens of thousands..." "The commotion is still too big!" Su Xing estimated slightly. The Spirit Rice, matured under wood immortal power and with enhanced quality, was now considered top-grade Spirit Rice, highly effective. For bronze level profession users, consuming about five or six jin would greatly improve their strength and physique within three months, making it easy to complete the silver advancement mission. Chapter 279 Golden Talent, Acquired Taoist Body! [First Update, Request for Monthly Pass]_2 For Silver Level profession users, consuming over ten jin of Spirit Rice within half a year greatly enhanced their potential, making it possible for them to advance to the Gold Level!For Gold Level profession users, consuming one hundred jin within two to three years... advancing to the Master Level was also possible! And Su Xing''s billion jin of Spirit Rice was enough to enable Great Xia Country to produce millions of low-rank profession users within a few years... It almost increased the speed at which low-rank profession users were born several times over! This quantity even attracted the attention of the Descending Sect! "But... the danger comes three years later?" Su Xing contemplated. Three years later, he didn''t even know to what extent his strength would reach. By then, these dangers should dissipate on their own... "Hmm, from this point of view, the problem is not that significant! I can accept this minor risk!" Su Xing slightly nodded, his gaze shifting to the Simulation Panel. [After resolving Jin Congxue''s crisis, you returned to the Descending Sect, constantly monitoring for news on this matter...] [The Descending Sect sent out several batches of assassins successively, all of whom you secretly neutralized without leaving any traces...] [And so, three years passed.] [This year, the leader of the Nature Faction decided to take action personally and assassinate Jin Congxue!] [But Jin Congxue used a Seventh Rank Talisman, successfully countering and killing the Nature Faction leader!] [Subsequently, you fortuitously became the leader of the Nature Faction ahead of schedule.] [Half a year later, Damned Dragon decided to take matters into his own hands and attacked Jin Congxue...] [Fortunately, the Divine Sense you left on Jin Congxue earlier took effect, delivering a serious blow to Damned Dragon, leaving him severely injured...] [When Damned Dragon returned, you felt uneasy, worrying he might report the incident to Blood Three.] [Thus, you used the Spirit Vein Dragon as bait, deliberately engaged in a duel with Damned Dragon, and ''accidentally'' killed him...] [Thereafter, in the Descending Sect on Blue Star, you became the indisputable leader; all cadre members had to follow your orders.] [After defeating Damned Dragon, you felt much more at ease and continued your daily cultivation, waiting for Blood Three to arrive.] [In the ninth year, you successfully incorporated the Origin of Speed into the embryonic form of your Spirit Domain!] [By this time, your Spirit Domain embryo had incorporated the Origins of Wood, Fire, Lightning, Speed, Space, and six Great Dao Origins, but it was still lacking the three major Origins: Sword, Cause and Effect Destiny.] [In the tenth year, Blood Three arrived on Blue Star, learning of Damned Dragon''s death.] [Fortunately, Damned Dragon had not reported the matter of the Spirit Rice... Blood Three remained unaware of this.] [You presented the Spirit Vein Dragon and used your ''Master of Success'' talent to successfully gain Blood Three''s trust and obtain a pass...] [After Blood Three left, you stayed on Blue Star to cultivate in peace.] Seeing the simulation text before him, Su Xing released a long breath. "Phew... Fortunately, as long as Blood Three is kept in the dark, everything will be fine!" "Currently, the two uncertain factors on Blue Star are Blood Three and Red Moon!" "Both of them possess the strength to kill me right now..." But thankfully, as Su Xing''s future cultivation realm grew higher, he would slowly reveal his true power, rising from beneath the surface... His gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. [And so, ten years passed.] [In the twentieth year, you visited the Beast Taming Realm to eliminate hidden dangers...] [In the twenty-fifth year, you successfully incorporated the Spirit Domain of the Sword into the embryonic form of your Spirit Domain...] [As the number of Great Dao Origins in your Spirit Domain increased, their fusion became increasingly difficult...] [In the twenty-eighth year, the Double-pupil Demon Saint descended, and you used the same strategy...] [In the thirty-third year, the Demon Saint noticed some clues and retreated to the Demon-Subduing Pass.] [After the Demon Saint left, you did not hurriedly retreat but remained at the Demon-Subduing Pass, waiting to see what kind of enemies would come next.] [There, you continued to guard and cultivate your Spirit Domain embryo, attempting to incorporate the Origin of Cause and Effect into your Spirit Domain embryo.] [Thus, nine years passed...] [During these nine years, although you had not successfully incorporated the Origin of Cause and Effect, your mastery of it improved greatly, making your use of its power more refined.] [In the forty-second year, one day, you performed a divination and foresaw that the Demon-Subduing Pass would face a disaster within a month.] [You spent your lifespan to further divine and discovered that this disaster was a minor misfortune, not unavoidable.] [You guessed it was because the foreign deity descending upon the Demon-Subduing Pass was weaker than you...] [Sure enough, a month later, a deity with two horns, as large as a mountain, descended outside the Demon-Subduing Pass.] [When this foreign deity appeared, all the humans inside the Demon-Subduing Pass despaired.] [But you saw that this foreign deity only possessed lower-tier Divine Power, roughly equivalent to the mid-stage of the Human Immortal Realm.] [Thus, you summoned fourteen hundred Sword Qi Barriers and successfully slew the deity!] [You also discovered that this foreign deity''s divine role was related to blood!] [Unfortunately, the Origin Power you possessed was vastly different from this deity''s divinity, making it impossible to devour...] [After killing the foreign deity, you continued to guard the Demon-Subduing Pass.] [Soon, another eight years passed...] [In the fiftieth year, you divined that the Demon-Subduing Pass would once again face a calamity, and if you stayed, you would face certain death!] Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Out of thirty-six Demon Kings, only a few remained.] [You analyzed the information related to the Red Moon, Qing Yunzi, and the Descending Sect. Based on your estimation, the Red Moon revival would be delayed by ten years, occurring around the sixtieth year...] [Due to the intelligence being revealed late, its value significantly decreased this time, but you still gained a considerable amount of spirit stones.] Su Xing raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. "As expected, the destruction of the Demon-Subduing Pass is directly related to the Red Moon Revival!" "Unfortunately, this trip to the Little Qingyun Realm was somewhat late, and some outcomes could not be changed..." "However, delaying the Red Moon''s arrival is the greatest gain!" Su Xing nodded slightly. This simulation was just a small experiment; perhaps it would allow the simulation time to break through a hundred years... "In the coming period, it''s time to fully comprehend the spiritual domain prototype!" "Meanwhile, it''s also necessary to inquire about the whereabouts of the Origin Martial Pill..." With these thoughts, Su Xing directed his gaze to the simulation panel. [After leaving the Heavenly Secret Pavilion''s intelligence office, you headed to a shop in White Emperor City.] [As you expected, the Origin Martial Pill was just a common elixir in the Little Qingyun Realm.] [The price of an Origin Martial Pill was only thirty to fifty spirit stones, even the best pills didn''t exceed a hundred low-grade spirit stones.] [You swept through dozens of elixir shops in White Emperor City, purchasing a hundred thousand Origin Martial Pills for seventy low-grade spirit stones each, spending only seven million low-grade spirit stones in total.] [The shopkeepers in the city were curious as to why a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator needed so many low-grade elixirs, but with business at their doorstep, they naturally did not refuse.] [After buying all the available Origin Martial Pills, you signed agreements with these shops to purchase four hundred thousand more top-grade Origin Martial Pills within ten years.] [For this, you paid a five million low-grade spirit stone deposit...] Su Xing nodded slightly at this. "As expected, the Origin Martial Pill is merely an elixir for Origin Martial Realm cultivators... Its target users are analogous to Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. In the Little Qingyun Realm, this belongs to the low end of the cultivator chain..." In the Little Qingyun Realm, spirit stones and spiritual energy were relatively scarce. Especially for those low-rank cultivators, the so-called "Nascent Soul Patriarchs" considered themselves wealthy if they could come up with a few thousand low-grade spirit stones. For this reason, the price of the Origin Martial Pill was destined not to be high... "The issue of mass purchasing the Origin Martial Pill is solved. Now, the question is: how much energy is required to bring one Origin Martial Pill out?" Su Xing felt a bit of anticipation. He directed his gaze back to the simulation panel. [This year, you left White Emperor City. Deep in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, you established an underground cave mansion and set up the Xuanyuan Concealment Array to shield against the sensing of heavenly secrets.] [For the next ten years, you continued to comprehend the power of karma, striving to form the prototype of the spiritual domain.] [Thus, ten years passed by!] [In the sixtieth year, you successfully emerged from seclusion. Your spiritual domain prototype gained another karmic trait, now containing eight types of great dao origin power...] [After coming out of seclusion, you immediately headed to White Emperor City to fulfill your agreements.] [In these ten years, the number of cultivators in White Emperor City had significantly decreased, but fortunately, you successfully obtained the four hundred thousand Origin Martial Pills.] [Subsequently, you went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion''s intelligence office to purchase frontline intelligence.] [As you expected, red-eyed foreign races started to appear on the frontline a year prior; you suspected that the Red Moon was gradually reviving...] [You inquired about the situation of the two heavenly immortal-level demons and discovered that they had not been sneak attacked and killed yet.] [So you sold the intelligence that the foreign race would launch sneak attacks on the heavenly immortal-level demons within ten years...] [With this intelligence, you earned a significant amount of spirit stones.] [Meanwhile, you learned that the Descending Sect''s stronghold had been besieged by righteous cultivators.] [However, this intelligence arrived a bit too late, missing the best opportunity for the siege, and the strength of the righteous cultivators had considerably diminished, allowing the Descending Sect to escape numerous times...] [You silently noted this information and then returned to your hidden cave mansion to focus on comprehending the last bit of destiny origin!] [Quickly, five years passed.] [In the sixty-fifth year, with eight types of great dao origin powers in your spiritual domain prototype, you felt the growing difficulty of merging the origin powers.] [By your estimation, you would only be able to accommodate up to nine types of great dao origin power at most before reaching your limit.] [Unsure how long the Little Qingyun Realm could last this time, you redoubled your efforts in cultivation...] [Under the influence of the Taoist Body, your mastery of the spiritual domain steadily improved.] [Time fleeted by, and another fifteen years passed...] [In the eightieth year of the simulation, you successfully integrated the destiny origin into the spiritual domain prototype!] sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [At this point, your spiritual domain prototype finally possessed nine types of great dao origin power, reaching its limit.] [Only one step remained: solidifying the spiritual domain prototype.] [This solidification process took you three years.] [In the eighty-third year, your spiritual domain broke through its limitations. You were just one step away from transcending tribulation and ascending...] [But you did not rush to transcend tribulation; instead, you went to White Emperor City to gather intelligence on the current state of the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Compared to the previous timeline, the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm was much better.] [The main reason was that the red-eyed foreign race appeared later, allowing the frontline cultivators to retain more strength.] [Even so, the frontline was still at an absolute disadvantage, and the Little Qingyun Realm was steadily heading towards destruction.] [After gathering intelligence, you returned to the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to prepare for tribulation...] Chapter 279 Golden Talent, Acquired Taoist Body! [First Update, Request for Monthly Pass]_4 [You accumulated a month''s worth of the Great Wisdom Talent''s blessing, then took a Spirit Awakening Pill...]In the real world, Su Xing saw this and felt a stir in his heart, silently chanting: "Use immersive simulation, duration: 30 days!" [Ding...] Su Xing''s vision shifted, and he appeared in the simulated world. "The opportunity with the Spirit Awakening Pill cannot be wasted... This simulation, I''ll comprehend the Protective Sword Qi!" Su Xing had already made up his mind. Taking advantage of the great boost in comprehension, he began to study the Protective Sword Qi. Because of the Taoist Body''s effect, Su Xing''s speed in comprehending all Great Dao Origin Powers tripled. And the Great Sword Dao was among them! On the tenth day of the immersive simulation, Su Xing''s Protective Sword Qi numbered one thousand four hundred sixty. On the twentieth day, the total number of Sword Qi reached one thousand five hundred thirty! On the thirtieth day, the amount of Sword Qi broke through to one thousand six hundred! The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing''s consciousness returned to reality. "Tsk tsk... the Taoist Body''s reputation is well-deserved!" "Combined with the Innate Sword Body... the effects stack, making my month of intense cultivation worth more than a century for ordinary Sword Cultivators!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. One thousand six hundred strands of Protective Sword Qi had almost reached his current limit. With the Protective Sword Qi, Su Xing could even threaten Earth Immortal Realm cultivators! "One thousand six hundred strands of Protective Sword Qi, my chances of surviving the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation have increased again!" Su Xing''s lips curled up as he looked at the simulation panel. [After comprehending one thousand six hundred strands of Protective Sword Qi, you adjusted your momentum to its peak, quietly waiting for the moment to cross the tribulation...] [Just like that, two years passed.] [In the eighty-fifth year, one day you performed a divination, and the omen was exceptionally auspicious.] [Thus, you no longer hesitated and prepared to break through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in one go!] [With prior experience, you smoothly elevated your immortal power to its peak, taking only a month.] [Then, you drew the Great Dao of Fire into your body, ready to summon the Heavenly Tribulation in one move!] [On the peak of a mountain within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, dark clouds filled the sky for ten thousand miles around, and thunder rumbled faintly from above...] [At this moment, you encountered the Three Questions of the Heavenly Dao!] [Heavenly Question: What kind of immortal do you seek to become?] [You answered: I seek the orthodox immortal status, to transcend the Six Passages of the Immortal Transformation, integrating the Great Dao into my body, achieving the Human Immortal Realm!] [...] [Three consecutive questions, each striking the depths of your soul!] [After the Three Questions of the Heavenly Dao, the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation began to gather in the sky!] [You took a deep breath and, in your prime state, faced the impending Heavenly Tribulation...] [The first set of Nine Cycles of Lightning descended, which you endured with your physical body, coming through unscathed!] [Next, the second set of lightning fell. You only took a brief respite and endured it successfully with your physical body again.] [The third set of lightning struck, and after enduring it, a drop of sweat dripped from your forehead.] [At this moment, many living beings in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were drawn by the lightning and gathered around.] [For the fourth set of lightning, you changed your strategy, enduring it with Protective Gang Qi, without using the Sword Qi...] [For the fifth set of lightning, you unleashed the Spirit Explosion Technique at the lightning, dissipating most of its power and safely passing through.] [...] [As the lightning continued, the surrounding Demon Cultivators and Human Clan Cultivators showed terrified expressions.] [Because the Sixth Set of Nine Cycles was about to descend!] [In the Little Qingyun Realm, those who could trigger the Sixth Set of Nine Cycles of Lightning were rare indeed!] [The Sixth Set of Nine Cycles of Lightning heralded the talent of a Golden Immortal!] [Amidst the exclamations of the cultivators, you slashed out a ten-thousand-mile-long Sword Qi, reducing the power of the Sixth Set of Nine Cycles of Lightning by a third.] [The remaining power of the lightning was further lessened by the Protective Gang Qi. When it struck your body, it was no longer a threat.] [You felt only slight pain in your physical body and passed through the Sixth Set of Nine Cycles of Lightning!] [Within ten thousand miles, the observing cultivators were stunned by your formidable tactics.] [Many cultivators wanted to approach and congratulate you on successfully ascending to immortality...] [Their primary goal, of course, was to forge a connection with a future powerful cultivator!] [But immediately, their expressions changed drastically...] [Because the lightning in the sky showed no signs of dissipating...] [The Seventh Set of Nine Cycles of Lightning was coming!] In the real world, Su Xing''s lips curled into a slight smile, and he remarked: "Tch, cultivators of the Little Qingyun Realm... looking as if they''ve never seen the world!" "But compared to before, this time''s tribulation was much more composed!" During his first tribulation, Su Xing had not held back, wasting some strength and failing to plan well for the tribulation. But now, Su Xing knew he would face the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Naturally, he conserved his strength, saving his trump card for last! "This time, I have merged with nine types of Spirit Domains, and my physical body''s strength is now twice as strong as before... The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, I have a good chance of passing!" With this thought, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [High in the sky, dark clouds gathered, and terrifying lightning descended from the Nine Heavens, striking straight at your physical body...] [You took a deep breath, released another Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique, and simultaneously held your sword in your left hand, slashing out a ten-thousand-mile-long Sword Qi!] [In the Immortal Burst Technique, you merged some Origin Power of Wood and Fire Great Dao, greatly enhancing its power...] [An immortal power vortex and a crisscrossing sword light surged toward the Seventh Set of Nine Cycles of Lightning!] [Under the successive resistance of the two attacks, the power of the Seventh Set of Nine Cycles of Lightning was greatly reduced...] [When the lightning passed through the Protective Gang Qi and struck your physical body, you only sustained minor injuries.] [You took out a handful of Wound Healing Pills and swallowed them.

The eighty-nine lightning tribulation ultimately descended, piercing through your protective Gang Qi, striking directly at your physical body.] [Fortunately, as the power of the tribulation had been reduced significantly, you only felt an endless wave of excruciating pain, but the tribulation did not destroy your will, nor did it make you fall.] [The "Undying Xiaochi," the "Ancient Witch Body," several types of talents played their roles within you, with the Wood Type origin power rapidly ensuring your vitality.] [You gritted your teeth and ingested a handful of healing pills, withstanding the strike of the eighty-nine heavenly tribulation!] In the real world, Su Xing exhaled deeply upon seeing this. "Phew... Finally, the hardest eighty-nine heavenly tribulation is over... The ninety-nine heavenly tribulation shouldn''t be too difficult!" Su Xing''s lips curled into a slight smile. He still had two absolute trump cards that he hadn''t used in this simulation! A thousand six hundred body-protecting sword qi barriers... And the golden talent, Unethical in Martial Conduct! Su Xing touched his chin, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. "The target for ''Unethical in Martial Conduct''... has never been specified as only living humans!" [Unethical in Martial Conduct]: Golden talent, this talent can only be used once per simulation. Against elders older than you, you can use a "sneak attack," and the damage of the first strike is doubled. This was the conclusion Su Xing had reached after much contemplation! Unethical in Martial Conduct, as a golden talent, had three strict conditions! It could only be used once per simulation... The target must be an elder... and it must be during a sneak attack! "The ninety-nine lightning tribulation... could it be part of the heavenly tribulation? It absolutely counts as an elder!" "Since it''s an elder... then Unethical in Martial Conduct will definitely be effective!" "The only problem is the condition of the sneak attack..." Su Xing had an idea as he looked at the simulation panel. [When the eighty-nine heavenly tribulation descended, all cultivators watching within ten thousand miles showed expressions of pity.] [In their view, being able to withstand the eighty-nine heaven rank tribulation during the Transcendance Tribulation Stage was utterly inconceivable...] [After all, it was an attack comparable to that of an Earth Immortal cultivator. How could a cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation stage possibly withstand it?] [But when they saw your still upright figure amidst the lightning of the fallen eighty-nine heavenly tribulation, everyone fell silent...] [At that moment, only one thought arose in their minds: the Little Qingyun Realm was about to give birth to a true monstrous prodigy!] [...] [And after the eighty-nine heavenly tribulation descended, when they saw that the phenomena in the Nine Heavens had not disappeared, everyone froze.] [They all displayed terrified expressions, cursing the person who was hated by the heavens, and quickly fled from the area...] [At the center of the lightning tribulation, you stood alone, proud at the peak of the black mountain, your gaze firmly fixed on the lightning tribulation in the Nine Heavens above.] [The ninety-nine lightning tribulation! It was still brewing at this moment...] [But you no longer planned to wait!] [Seizing the moment while the lightning tribulation was still brewing... you took a deep breath, your entire body radiating sword intent, carrying a thousand six hundred body-protecting sword qi barriers, soaring through the Nine Heavens!] [When you unleashed this sword strike, the talent Unethical in Martial Conduct activated at the same time!] [This sword strike, imbued with all of your hopes... struck straight at the ninety-nine lightning tribulation, and also at the Heavenly Dao of this realm!] (First update, asking for monthly votes~) Chapter 282 Veteran Driver Su Xing, Out of Fuel? [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes] The Spirit Realm, one of the numerous world instances near Blue Star.Although Su Xing had never been there, he had quite a few dealings with it... Because Luo Shuying came from the Spirit Realm! "Wait... Luo Shuying''s surname is Luo!" "One of the three major family clans of the Luo Tian Sect... Could Luo Shuying be a descendant left behind by the Luo clan after going to the Spirit Realm?" Su Xing''s face took on a peculiar expression as he thought there was an increasing possibility of this. Luo Shuying, and the abilities of the entire Spirit Race, were extremely unique! Their power came from the mind... their physical bodies were also much stronger than ordinary transcendents! This seemed somewhat similar to a highly specialized branch among cultivators... the Spirit Cultivators! The so-called Spirit Cultivators did not practice arts or spiritual energy... they solely cultivated the divine sense realm! Using the mind to shake the physical body, they obtained extraordinary power! "So because of this... Luo Shuying and the Spirit Race have such a good absorption effect on Soul Condensing Pills?" Su Xing narrowed his eyes, growing more certain that Luo Shuying perhaps had some connection with the descendants of the Luo Tian Sect. And the Spirit Realm... very likely could be the former Yu Ling Realm! "Looks like... during the next simulation, it''s necessary to personally investigate the Spirit Realm!" Su Xing said softly, turning his gaze back to the simulation panel. [After leaving the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, you went to the various shops in White Emperor City and purchased some Origin Martial Pills.] [After spending seven million low-grade Spirit Stones, you obtained a hundred thousand top-grade Origin Martial Pills, with the remaining hundred thousand to be collected in ten years.] [After purchasing the elixirs, you went to White Emperor City. After displaying your Human Immortal Realm cultivation, you became a second-grade elder of White Emperor City.] [After spending some Spirit Stones, you obtained a top-grade blessed land as a cave residence.] [Upon obtaining the cave residence, you carefully arranged a Xuan Yuan Concealment Array and set up several illusion arrays and prohibitions before starting your cultivation in peace...] [You took out millions of drops of low-grade Spiritual Liquid and began your cultivation...] [After reaching the Immortal Realm, cultivation became slower.] [The spiritual liquid first needed to transform into Immortal Qi upon entering the body, then operate the cultivation technique to enhance your cultivation level.] [If the mana of an Immortal was like a well, each intake of spiritual liquid was like a drop of water falling from the walls, continuously dripping until the well was filled, breaking through the cultivation realm...] [Thus, ten years passed in the blink of an eye...] [Over ten years, you spent millions of drops of low-grade Spiritual Liquid on cultivation. However, your mana had not even reached one-fifth of the first layer of the Human Immortal Realm...] [Such cultivation speed left you very dissatisfied...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly. "Ten years... even with the aid of spiritual liquid, the first layer''s progress is only one-fifth?" Su Xing finally understood why advancing in Immortal cultivation was so slow, often requiring hundreds of years for a single breakthrough. "My spiritual root is a mutated Heavenly Spirit Root... already inferior among the Human Immortal Realm..." "Fortunately, with the help of the seventh-rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array and the Heavenly Thunder Physique, the efficacy is even better than a regular Super Spiritual Root... but even so, breaking through one layer in the Human Immortal Realm would take fifty years, or even longer!" "And this speed... only gets slower the further you go!" Su Xing sighed, the shortcomings of lackluster aptitude now becoming evident. "For a regular cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root, even if they are fortunate enough to become an Immortal, it might take as long as one hundred fifty years to break through one layer!" "And this speed is with sufficient spiritual liquid and Spirit Stone assistance... otherwise, even three to five hundred years wouldn''t be enough to break through one layer!" Pausing, Su Xing continued down this train of thought. "A regular immortal cultivator, upon reaching the Immortal Realm, might already be three to five thousand years old... even with proper maintenance, without life-extending elixirs, they could only live another five thousand years or so..." "If they are a fierce and combative type, leaving hidden injuries behind... they might not even live for five thousand years..." "This means that a cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root in the Human Immortal Realm could exhaust all their life span on cultivation and still not experience a breakthrough!" Su Xing sighed lightly. Cultivators fought incessantly for a reason. Enjoy exclusive content from empire The resources were limited... if one continuously remained detached from worldly affairs, they would ultimately end up expending their life span and turning into dust... "However, this speed of cultivation is still too slow!" "The improvement of the spiritual root relies entirely on luck... and my luck talent has no effect on the simulator..." "As it stands now, I still need to quickly cultivate the Zhengyi Submission Decision!" Such were Su Xing''s thoughts as he gazed at the simulation panel. [After ten years of cultivation, feeling the slow progress, you left seclusion to retrieve the hundred thousand top-grade Origin Martial Pills you agreed to take at that time.] [Afterward, you began looking for a way to find the whereabouts of a space artifact.] [The Green Wood Realm is far from the Little Qingyun Realm, and even with adequate cultivation, you would need the aid of a spatial magic treasure to traverse worlds...] [However, such spatial magic treasures are extremely rare. Despite multiple inquiries in the markets of White Emperor City, you could not find such a magic treasure.] [After finding nothing, you temporarily gave up and returned to your cave residence to resume your secluded cultivation.] [The slow progress of cultivation made you decide to prioritize comprehending the Zhengyi Submission Decision!] Seeing this, Su Xing muttered: "Use immersive simulation... duration: 30 days!" [Ding, you successfully used the immersive simulation... remaining origin energy points: 24039...] Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As the simulation prompt sound faded, Su Xing appeared in his cave residence. "I need to make haste practicing the Zhengyi Submission Decision... otherwise, my cultivation speed in the future will become a substantial issue!" Su Xing muttered. The first layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision, allowed Su Xing to cultivate for an hour each day, saving ninety percent of the time to practice other divine arts and techniques, undoubtedly a great help. The second layer, aside from saving ninety percent of the time, also increased Su Xing''s cultivation speed to three times the original! Chapter 282 Veteran Driver Su Xing, Out of Fuel? [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes]_2 On the third layer, the cultivation speed increased to seven times the original!With such an astonishing cultivation speed boost, it would be foolish for Su Xing not to start cultivating immediately... Thinking this way, Su Xing swallowed a Spirit Awakening Pill, activated the Great Wisdom State, and then began cultivating "Zhengyi Submission Decision". ... In the blink of an eye, thirty days passed, and the immersive simulation ended. Su Xing returned to reality. In the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and sighed: "Zhengyi Submission Decision... as expected of Luo Tian Sect''s supreme secret technique..." "The cultivation difficulty is just too high!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. One month of immersive simulation, combined with the Spirit Awakening Pill and the Great Wisdom augmentation, equaled ten years of hard cultivation, but Su Xing still hadn''t gotten past the basics of Zhengyi Submission Decision. He hadn''t even learned the first layer... "At this rate, mastering just the first layer would take about a hundred years..." Su Xing did some quick calculations, murmuring. "However, cultivating Zhengyi Submission Decision is absolutely worth the effort, and the benefits increase the further you go!" Su Xing contemplated for a moment, deciding to allocate future simulation attempts specifically for cultivating Zhengyi Submission Decision. Thinking this way, Su Xing turned his gaze to the Simulation Panel.

[In the blink of an eye, three years passed...] [You boarded the flying boat and, together with True Immortal Dan Huo, arrived at Qingyun Sect...] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly as he read this. "This simulation''s goal was to obtain Physical Training Talent, gather intelligence... and acquire two hundred thousand elixirs..." "Therefore, the simulation duration isn''t particularly important this time..." The Origin Martial Pills in Su Xing''s possession were already depleted, so the two hundred thousand elixirs in this simulation were extremely crucial, as they pertained to Su Xing''s long-term energy income and couldn''t be delayed. As for cultivation progress, divine skills cultivation, and acquiring Magical Treasures... those could be postponed for now. Origin energy was the foundation of everything! "The goals of this simulation are almost complete... so let''s see if there are any suitable Space Artifacts!" Thinking this way, Su Xing turned his gaze to the Simulation Panel. [Upon arriving at Qingyun Sect, you quickly attracted the attention of second-generation senior brothers and sisters.] [You were the latest to enter, and with exceptional talent, you soon received many welcome gifts...] [However, to your regret, you did not see any Space Artifacts.] [You settled down in Qingyun Sect, and in the blink of an eye, another ten years passed...] [In the forty-third year, during this decade, you got along well with Senior Sister Ziling, often discussing the Soul-Nurturing Way and teaching her to plant the Gathering Spirit Flower.] [At the same time, you learned from Immortal Ziling that Space Artifacts capable of inter-world travel were extremely rare, most being Supreme Treasures.] [Even the few exquisite Immortal Treasures that could traverse worlds would suffer damage and couldn''t be used for long...] [Hearing this, you felt somewhat helpless but still hoped to find a Space Artifact.] [You discovered that even within Qingyun Sect, there were no completed Space Immortal Treasures for sale.] [Only by collecting materials and spending contribution points could you ask the sect''s artifact-refining elders to craft one.] [After obtaining this information, you began collecting space-related materials and contacting the sect elders.] [So, several more years passed...] [In the forty-seventh year, during these years, you constantly sold Gathering Spirit Flowers, accumulating nearly ten million Sect Contribution Points.] [More than half of these points were used to exchange for materials for crafting Space Artifacts.] [These included bones from space-related demonic beasts, space-attribute minerals, and Void Stones, among others...] [In the fiftieth year, you spent three million contribution points to successfully hire a Profound Immortal realm artifact-refining elder to craft a Space Immortal Treasure for you.] [This Profound Immortal realm artifact-refining elder, a Great Grandmaster in artifact refining, had a record of crafting several exquisite Immortal Treasures.] [Thus, you spent a hefty sum for him to design a space-traveling flying boat, ideally capable of multiple world crossings and long-distance travel...] [After agreeing to help you, the Profound Immortal elder began refining the flying boat day and night...] [In the blink of an eye, a year passed...] [One day, colorful clouds suddenly appeared above the Artifact Refining Peak of Qingyun Sect, signaling the birth of an exquisite Immortal Treasure!] [Soon, you received a transmission from the artifact-refining elder, informing you of the completed Immortal Treasure...] [Upon hearing the news, you rushed to the Artifact Refining Peak and saw that in the refining room was a flying boat, three zhang long, one zhang wide, entirely deep black...] [This flying boat could freely change its size, normally as small as a leaf and could be carried around.] [When needed, it could even expand to a width of a hundred zhang, accommodating a thousand people inside...] [However, the larger the flying boat, the more spirit stones and spiritual energy it required, and it would also become more fragile and easy to destroy.] [It was a true exquisite Immortal Treasure flying boat, capable of traveling through Minor Thousand Worlds!] [You were extremely fond of this Leaf Flying Boat...] [However, the artifact-refining elder looked at you with a regretful expression.] Chapter 282 Veteran Driver Su Xing, Out of Fuel?

"What a pity... Supreme Immortal Treasure to half-step Acquired Treasure, that''s a qualitative leap!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. Above Spiritual Artifacts were Immortal Artifacts, also known as Immortal Treasures. Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. These powerful magical treasures were eligible to be wielded only by Immortals. Low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and supreme Immortal Artifacts often belonged to cultivators in the Human, Earth, and Sky Immortal Realms, up to the True Immortal Realm. However, Acquired Treasures were magical treasures that only Profound Immortals, Golden Immortals... and even Taiyi Golden Immortals could possess! The gap was unimaginably wide. At the same cultivation level, using a Supreme Immortal Treasure to fight a mid-grade Immortal Treasure was almost a crushing defeat... Discover hidden stories at empire Not to mention the difference between Acquired Treasures and Supreme Immortal Artifacts. "Space Spirit Stone, huh... I should note this. The next time I simulate, finding this stone might allow me to create a half-step Acquired Treasure!" This simulation of Su Xing was mainly to test the waters, and being able to refine a spatial-type magical treasure in one go was certainly ideal. If it wasn''t satisfactory, he could make more comprehensive preparations for the next simulation... "This simulation is done... but I could use this magical treasure to try and travel to other worlds as well, right?" Su Xing thought this, his gaze shifting to the simulation panel. [After crafting a Supreme Immortal Treasure flying boat, you couldn''t wait to test it out.] [And by that time, Qing Yunzi''s seclusion was already near its end.] [So you requested Immortal Ziling to send you to the Little Qingyun Realm.] [In the fifty-third year, you arrived at the Little Qingyun Realm.] [After Immortal Ziling left, you didn''t choose to stay in this world.] [You wanted to try piloting the flying boat to other worlds...] [After some deliberation, you decided to head to the Blackwater Realm, which was very close to the Little Qingyun Realm...] [This realm was said to be extremely desolate, with nearly ninety-nine percent of it composed of seawater. There were even sea demonic beasts above the Human Immortal Realm in the deep seas...] [You disguised yourself and concealed your breath, visiting the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to purchase coordinates and relevant information about the Blackwater Realm.] [Then, you went to the market to buy some magical treasures for surviving in water, such as Water-Repelling Pearls...] [After making all these preparations, you headed to a spatial node in the Little Qingyun Realm.] [In terms of general direction, the Blackwater Realm was to the southwest of the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Using spatial power, you precisely captured the spatial coordinates of the Blackwater Realm... then you activated the flying boat, entered a space tunnel, and left the Little Qingyun Realm...] [This was your first time piloting a flying boat and attempting to independently traverse worlds.] [Despite the thorough preparations, you were still somewhat flustered...] [Piloting a Supreme Immortal Artifact-level flying boat required an enormous amount of immortal power, and with your Human Immortal Realm cultivation level, you couldn''t sustain such immense consumption.] [Just a few space jumps depleted most of your spiritual power...] [Fortunately, you possessed a million high-grade Spiritual Liquid...] [You spared no expense, wildly infusing immortal power into the flying boat while absorbing the Spiritual Liquid, like an unfeeling immortal power conversion machine...] [But you ultimately overestimated your own strength...] [On the fifteenth day of space jumping with the flying boat, you felt utterly exhausted and your body was in chaos with immortal power, unable to continue piloting...] [Being in the void at that moment, leaving the flying boat would mean certain death.] [Luckily, the flying boat had its own defensive array. You used your remaining immortal power to support the defense array, but you couldn''t control the flying boat to continue flying...] [Thus, you were lost in the void.] [The flying boat drifted like a rootless duckweed in space, floating towards an unknown world...] Su Xing''s vision darkened as he saw this, and he furiously complained: "Damn, it''s like running out of gas while driving! Even a veteran driver couldn''t help this..." "Sigh, I just hope I land in a relatively safe world randomly..." (Extra chapter for monthly votes, please vote before the end of the month, or they''ll expire~) Chapter 283 Luotian Legacy, Astonishing Wealth! [Request for Monthly Ticket] Su Xing felt a bit nervous."Lost in the void... Normally, the immortal boat should crash land on the nearest world, right?" "The nearest world to the Little Qingyun Realm... It wouldn''t be one occupied by a foreign race, would it?" Su Xing immediately felt something was amiss. Near the Little Qingyun Realm, many Minor Thousand Worlds had already been defenseless, gradually falling to foreign race occupation. And the chance of Su Xing falling into such a world was quite high! Su Xing took a deep breath and looked at the simulation panel. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [The immortal boat drifted within the space wormhole, losing power, drifting with the space turbulence.] [Luckily, your fortune was good, as the immortal boat avoided ferocious space beasts and space black holes several times.] [At this moment, you captured a space coordinate that seemed to be the nearest Minor Thousand Worlds.] [Thus, you didn''t hesitate, using the last bit of your immortal power to maneuver the immortal boat through the space node, arriving at this world...] [You stumbled out of the immortal boat, greedily breathing in. At the moment, your immortal power was thoroughly exhausted.] [But then you realized something was wrong. It seemed you had landed in a barren world, where spiritual energy was so thin it was only slightly better than that of the Blue Star.] [Looking around, the withered trees and red soil almost made you think you were back at the Slaughter Battlefield.] [You took out a bottle of spiritual liquid, drank it in one go, and consumed several elixirs, quickly restoring your immortal power and strength...] [After half an hour, feeling your immortal power had recovered by thirty percent, you sighed in relief and decided to explore this world.] [You tried to shrink the three-zhang-long immortal boat, but found that its internal shrinking formation was damaged. Helpless, you could only store it in the space artifact.] [After finishing this, your spirit stirred, and your divine sense spread out like a tide, instantly covering an area within ten thousand miles...] [In the range of your divine sense, there seemed to be very few living beings in this world... Within ten thousand miles, you detected almost no powerful presences.] [Moreover, the landscape was dotted with collapsed mountains and dry rivers, as if freshly ravaged by war...] [Curiosity piqued, you decided to conduct a sword flight to explore the area...] [Flying through the sky on your sword, you suppressed your aura, using your divine sense to survey everything below...] [After traveling tens of thousands of miles, you came to a remote village.] [In this village, you unexpectedly saw a few cultivators at the Return to Void Realm, but they were all mutilated and their auras were weak...] [From their mouths, you learned that this place was known as the Huoyan Realm...] [Ten years ago, it was completely overrun by the foreign race, now left in ruins and gradually withering...] [Upon hearing the name "Huoyan Realm," you felt a sense of foreboding.] [In the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, you had purchased intelligence on the worlds near the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Among them, Huoyan Realm was adjacent to the Little Qingyun Realm, and it was conquered by the foreign race ten years ago, losing all communication...] [From the current situation, it was clear that the Huoyan Realm was on the brink of withering.] [You spent a month exploring this world, discovering that nearly all the powerful cultivators had been killed...] [From a distance, you could sense some auras of foreign race deities, some of which rivaled Earth Immortal or even Heavenly Immortal Realms... Therefore, you dared not act rashly.] [After some thought, you decided to try repairing the immortal boat in order to leave this world...] [This repair work took several years!] [In the sixtieth year, during these years, you frequently avoided the foreign race''s scouts while continually repairing the immortal boat.] [Unfortunately, your artifact refining skills were insufficient to repair such an immortal treasure...] [Until one day, a shadow that covered the sky and blocked the sun descended upon the Huoyan Realm...] [You were all too familiar with this figure.] [Countless times in simulations, you faced this giant beast that devoured the Blue Star!] [Only now, it seemed the beast had grown threefold larger...] [Seeing the beast ready to devour this world, you threw caution to the wind.] [Sixteen hundred sword qis shot forth, combined with unethical martial conduct, stabbing toward the beast''s mouth...] [However, the sky-reaching sword qi had no effect on the beast. It merely opened its mouth slightly, swallowing all the sword qis into its belly...] [The scenery around you shifted suddenly, and you entered the beast''s dungeon.] [Inside the beast''s belly, countless space turbulences and world fragments tore at everything wildly...] [With your extreme physical body, you survived in the beast''s belly for a month...] [You died!] [Ding! This simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing fell silent for a moment. He muttered to himself: "Huoyan Realm... Another world devoured by the giant beast?" "What is this beast? How can it grow stronger by devouring worlds?" "Perhaps I can purchase related intelligence from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion... But such intelligence probably costs at least a Class A level..." Su Xing frowned slightly. This giant beast seemed to only act when a world was about to be destroyed, swallowing parts of the world along with its inhabitants... "Could it be a tool used by the foreign race specifically for world destruction?" Su Xing pondered. "Well, the main objectives of this simulation were mostly achieved... Let''s see the simulation rewards!" Su Xing decided to stop dwelling on it. His goal this time was to extract the two hundred thousand Origin Martial Pills he had previously purchased. [After Transformative Taoist Body]: Gold Talent, priced at 10 points Origin Energy Source. [Ten years of Alchemy Experience]: After redemption, the current alchemy insight would increase slightly, priced at 10 points Origin Energy Source. [Top-Grade Immortal Boat]: Rare spatial top-grade immortal treasure, can be driven by immortal power, traversing space wormholes to other worlds, but it''s of insufficient quality, so it only allows short-distance travel, currently damaged.

Su Xing''s gaze fell on the exchange price for the top-grade Immortal Boat, murmuring: "A damaged top-grade Immortal Boat requires at least 20,000 Origin Energy Sources... If it were in perfect condition, wouldn''t it need at least 50,000 Origin Energy Sources?" Su Xing''s voice suddenly rose, finding it hard to accept. Fifty thousand Origin Energy Sourcesequivalent to 500 billion simulated energy... Su Xing could only accumulate that in two weeks! "Sigh, and that''s just a top-grade Immortal Treasure. For acquired treasures, the energy needed would be even more!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. "Forget it, don''t think too much... let''s exchange for the rewards needed this time first!" Su Xing didn''t hesitate much, murmuring: "I choose the Acquired Taoist Body... and 200,000 Origin Martial Pills!" [You have successfully brought out the talent Acquired Taoist Body, costing 10 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source 24,029 points...] [You have successfully brought out 200,000 Origin Martial Pills (Top-grade), costing 20,000 Origin Energy Sources, remaining Origin Energy Source 4,029 points...] As the simulation prompt sounded, a profound energy flowed into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing closed his eyes, experiencing the mystery of the new talent. He felt that the once distant Great Dao Origin was now a bit closer. His comprehension speed of the Great Dao Origin further improved... Moreover, his utilization of the Great Dao Origin also became easier. "Acquired Taoist Body... truly mysterious!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, with this talent, it would be much easier for him to comprehend the Origin Power in the future. Meanwhile, a massive wooden box appeared in front of Su Xing. In the wooden box, 20,000 jade bottles were neatly arranged, each containing ten Origin Martial Pills. Su Xing took out one jade bottle, uncorked it, and a round elixir rolled out. Su Xing placed it under his nose and sniffed, nodding slightly: "Not bad, indeed top-grade Origin Martial Pills... the effect isn''t much different from mine..." For such low-rank elixirs, the skill difference between high-rank alchemists was hard to distinguish. After becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster, Su Xing became more knowledgeable about elixirs. He could discern the efficacy of many herbs and elixirs just by their scent. After organizing the Origin Martial Pills, Su Xing glanced at the time, murmuring: "Almost time... time to trade with Lu Yuanwu!" Simplifying his appearance and aura, Su Xing left the Spirit Field Cave, flying on his sword towards the outskirts. Moments later, Su Xing turned back, heading to the Xianwu World. At this time, Su Xing''s simulation panel already showed an additional 20,000 Origin Energy Sources. Upon arriving in the Xianwu World, Su Xing began refining the final batch of alien metal miner puppets. "With my current puppet crafting skills, a week is enough to refine four miner puppets..." "A total of 30 miner puppets, a week can bring me 15,000 points of Origin Energy Source (150 billion energy), almost enough..." Su Xing murmured. As for more miner puppets, given the number of profession users in the Tarot Commerce Association, they might not be able to purify them in time, which would be counterproductive... With these thoughts, Su Xing began the week''s new crafting. ... Seven days passed quickly, and Su Xing''s number of miner puppets successfully reached 30, allowing him to gain 15,000 Origin Energy Sources every week, a very considerable income. Glancing at the time, Su Xing returned to Blue Star, preparing to head to the villa to meet Jin Congxue. At the dining table, Jin Congxue reported the progress of the Spirit Rice plan to Su Xing. "Su Xing, the Great Xia officials have sent an accurate message... they are willing to trade, and they also asked if you could provide the promised 100 million jin of Spirit Rice... are you sure there is no problem?" Jin Congxue''s tone was slightly serious. No matter how you think about it, 100 million jin of Spirit Rice wasn''t a small amount... Su Xing nodded slightly, planning a bit before speaking: "Then let''s set the trade time for three weeks later... Three weeks later, 100 million jin of Spirit Rice will be delivered!" Seeing Su Xing so confident, Jin Congxue chose to believe, then spoke excitedly: "If the organization can provide 100 million jin of Spirit Rice to the Great Xia officials... it will be a qualitative improvement for the overall strength of our Human Race!" "Within ten years or so, the overall strength and number of our Great Xia Country''s profession users will more than double!" Jin Congxue was not a woman without vision; she accurately perceived the great transformation Spirit Rice would bring to the Human Race. Su Xing just smiled slightly at this, saying: "Just mutual benefit... the organization also needs Abyss Stones for research..." ... Soon, Su Xing received about 13,000 Origin Energy Sources from the week''s output from the Tarot Society. Thus, Su Xing''s previously depleted finances became substantial again. On July 29, 2025, in the New Era, Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation. Before simulating, Su Xing made further plans. "Currently, improving strength after the Immortal Realm has become slow; thus, it''s imperative to quickly elevate the Zhengyi Submission Decision to the second level!" "But during this period, strength enhancement cannot be neglected... Just in time to enhance the Body Refinement Cultivation Level!" Su Xing stroked his chin. This time, Su Xing''s goal in the simulation was to acquire the Fiery Flame Divine Body while advancing the first layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision to the Mahayana Level! By then, Su Xing''s pure physical strength would be enough to combat late-stage Human Immortal Realm cultivators! Chapter 283 Luotian Legacy, Astonishing Wealth! [Request for Monthly Ticket]_3 "Right, I need to explore the Spirit Realm...""And the Space Spirit Stone... I also need to search for it!" Once the simulation''s cooldown period ended, Su Xing murmured: "Start the simulation!" [Current remaining Origin Energy Source: 37429 points, remaining simulation attempts: none.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source. Proceed with extraction?] Su Xing did not choose to extract a new Golden Talent but instead opened the Talent Lottery pool, preparing to draw the Fiery Flame Divine Body. Spending two points of Origin Energy Source, Su Xing successfully drew the Fiery Flame Divine Body. "Phew... With the Fiery Flame Divine Body, my cultivation speed should be enhanced by thirty percent..." Su Xing murmured as he looked at the Simulation Panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were in a simulation.] [You spent ten days, tirelessly ripening Spirit Rice day and night...] [Ten days later, you visited the Luo Tian Instance to learn the Dao of Puppetry...] [Another ten days passed, and you successfully completed the trade with the Great Xia authorities, with no unexpected events occurring...] [One day, as promised, you went to meet Luo Shuying to inquire about the Spirit Realm.] [You asked her about the specific location of the Spirit Realm, how to get there, and if there were any special places within the Spirit Realm...] [Luo Shuying found your questions strange, as based on your previous statements, you should be quite knowledgeable about the Spirit Realm. Why were you asking such questions?] [But fortunately, you successfully fooled her, causing Luo Shuying to trust you more and providing you with the coordinates and method to enter the Spirit Realm Instance.] [Luo Shuying gave you a Token. Holding this Token allows one to access the Spirit Realm at a corresponding location.] [You examined the Token, observing the character "Luo" engraved on it, lost in thought.] [You left the Great Xia Country and arrived at a small island in the East Sea. You activated the Token and entered the Spirit Realm...] [A change in your field of vision occurred, and you entered the Spirit Realm.] [The Spirit Realm was not very large, comparable to Blue Star, with a territory of only about ten thousand miles...] [In the Spirit Realm, the Spirit Race was the absolute ruler. However, in recent years, they became exhausted from fighting against the foreign races.] [Following Luo Shuying''s instructions, you arrived at the Spirit Race''s territory, where it was rumored that some secrets were hidden...] Seeing this, Su Xing felt a stir in his heart and murmured: "Use immersive simulation, duration: 1 day!" [Ding...] As the simulation prompt sounded, Su Xing''s field of vision changed once again. In the next moment, Su Xing found himself in an unfamiliar world. Before him were lush trees, with layers of mist swirling around... Su Xing squinted, observing his surroundings, and murmured: "Interesting... An ancient mist formation, huh? It seems this place really was once a part of the Cultivation World..." "The depletion of spiritual energy has caused the formations to fail... Are the members of the Luo Family still alive?" Su Xing attempted to walk deeper into the mist. In the mist, directions seemed indistinguishable, and even Su Xing''s divine sense was somewhat disrupted. Fortunately, the grade of the mist formation was not high, and due to its long neglect, its power was far from its former glory. Su Xing did not exert too much effort to find the formation''s core. Upon breaking the formation''s core, the mist formation completely failed, revealing the true appearance of the Luo Family''s ancestral land. A platform made of cyan jade slabs, about ten zhang wide, showed cracks and overgrowth of moss due to prolonged neglect. At the center of the stone slab, a purple formation was inscribed. The spiritual charm on the formation seemed to have gradually faded, indicating it was damaged. "A damaged teleportation array, huh?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow, and with his knowledge of formations, he easily discerned the formation''s origin. "An eleventh-grade teleportation array, leading to an alternate dimension within the Spirit Realm?" "Unfortunately, the formation is somewhat damaged, and the spiritual power system is also compromised..." Su Xing rubbed his chin. Evidently, to further explore the Luo Family''s ancestral land, he had to enter the formation before him. "Then I''ll attempt to repair it..." Su Xing pondered, taking out tools for repairing formations and some Spirit Stones to begin the repairs. "Hmm, capturing the spatial nodes... Recharging the spiritual power system... The positioning is also somewhat off..." Su Xing mumbled while carefully performing the repairs... The entire process took around three hours. Fortunately, the formation was not complex, and its core remained intact. After considerable effort, Su Xing successfully activated the teleportation array. Having repaired the formation, Su Xing attempted to activate it but failed to find the mechanism to do so. Su Xing thought for a moment, then took out Luo Shuying''s Token. After trying it, he still could not activate the formation. "So it isn''t activated through the Token?" Su Xing frowned slightly. After carefully inspecting the formation, he discovered a micro receiving formation in its core. "This receiving formation seems useless?" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing pondered for a while, then had a sudden idea. "Could it be... the incantation Ghost Grandma once told me?" With that thought, Su Xing no longer hesitated and loudly recited: "Mind and Essence... Allow me to pass through... Luo Tian Eternal..." After Su Xing finished reciting the incantation, the stone slab beneath him began to tremble slightly. Shortly after, spiritual energy gushed out from the formation beneath his feet... Soon, Su Xing felt the surrounding space was shaking, and he was transported into the space connected to the formation. "This place is..." Su Xing raised his eyebrow, examining the environment around him. A dim palace, approximately ten zhang in length and width, with mysterious patterns carved on the walls. "The layout here... looks very similar to a palace of the Luo Tian Sect!" Su Xing murmured, then began to search around the palace. After several searches, Su Xing focused on a stone coffin at the front of the palace. Chapter 283 Luotian Legacy, Astonishing Wealth! [Request for Monthly Tickets]_4 "So... these senior cultivators all like to hide things in stone coffins?"Su Xing muttered, then walked up to the stone coffin and, with great effort, pushed it open. Upon opening the coffin, Su Xing saw a skeleton as white as jade, emitting a faint but pleasant fragrance. S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There was no usual stench of rotting bones... "Hmm? Judging by the time... The owner of this skeleton must have been dead for tens of thousands of years, right?" To have bones like jade and emit a faint fragrance after ten thousand years of death, these are signs only immortals possess... "Could it be... This is the Bing''er that Ghost Grandma mentioned?" Su Xing felt a stirring in his heart as he took a storage ring from the skeleton''s finger. The prohibitions on the storage magical artifact were naturally lifted upon the death of its owner. Su Xing''s divine sense entered the ring and discovered it was filled with countless resources. Spirit pills and elixirs, heaven and earth treasures. Elixirs for the Qi Refinement stage, all the way up to ninth-grade elixirs for the Mahayana Tribulation Crossing stage, were all there... The quantity... exceeded a million! Swords, spears, halberds, golden silk armor... From magic artifacts to treasure artifacts, spiritual artifacts, countless items... Su Xing even saw over a dozen pieces of nascent immortal treasures. Spirit Stones! Heap after heap of spirit stones, all high-grade, forming a small hilla total of one million pieces! Cultivation techniques and secret techniques... A chest one zhng high in the storage ring was packed with jade slips and ancient texts, numbering no less than three thousand... There were also various strange tools... In a corner, dozens of puppets were arranged. One glance and Su Xing could see that there were five puppets for each stage from Divinity Transformation to Tribulation Crossing! All were combat-type puppets... also known as protectors! Su Xing withdrew his divine sense from the storage ring and also took out a token and a jade slip. "Unbelievable... To have such a massive amount of cultivation resources in this spiritual ancestral land!" Su Xing estimated the value of the items in this storage ring to be no less than ten million spirit stones... high-grade spirit stones! The most precious were the divine arts, techniques, and cultivation techniques left behind by the Luo Tian Sect... But what Su Xing found most useful were the various cultivation resources! "However, since Bing''er is Ghost Grandma''s disciple, tasked with rebuilding the sect in another world, it makes sense she carried so many resources..." "It''s a pity the sect couldn''t be rebuilt... These resources naturally benefit me..." Su Xing didn''t hold back, taking the storage ring, and out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a jade slip behind the skeleton''s head. "A sound transmission jade slip?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow, guessing that the jade slip might contain the dying words of the skeleton''s owner. "Alright, let me listen to it... then I''ll convey it to Ghost Grandma, fulfilling her wish..." Su Xing sent his divine sense into the jade slip and heard a clear, crisp female voice. "I am Luo Tian Sect''s sixth-generation direct disciple, Luo Bing''er..." "Since that battle, it has been over thirty thousand years, the hundred worlds have withered, and Luo Tian is in decline... Many traitors arose within the sect, and the tree fell and monkeys scattered..." "In the face of imminent danger, I received the mission to establish the sect outside this world, waiting for the right time, preserving the heritage... hoping to revive the glory of Luo Tian!" "However, there was a traitor within the sect, who colluded with a foreign race... revealing my plans. Though I managed to kill the foreign race, I was severely injured, my realm fell, and my life was nearing its end..." "I carried three hundred immortal sprouts, all young children from the Luo family, with outstanding aptitude... and left behind tribulation puppets to guide them, hoping to rebuild the sect..." Su Xing silently listened to this message. The gist was that Luo Bing''er''s mission had failed due to a sneak attack by a foreign race. She left behind puppets to guide the Luo family disciples on their path to immortality, not forgetting their family duty. "However... little did Luo Bing''er expect that after the spiritual energy waned, the Luo family disciples could not cultivate and became spirit cultivators?" "And after thousands of years of heritage, they gradually evolved into the current Spirit Race?" Su Xing speculated briefly. As for the puppets, they were probably damaged over the thousands of years? "The Luo family clan members... without this passphrase, couldn''t enter this ancestral land, right?" Su Xing mumbled as he listened to the final part of the jade slip. Find your next read on empire "To the one who activated the formation and entered this place, I do not know who you are?" "If you are a descendant of the Luo family, having glimpsed the path of immortality, and received the formation''s passphrase from the puppet''s mouth?" "Or if you are a disciple of the Luo Tian Sect, who found this place..." "Bing''er hopes it is the former... If so, my master''s efforts have not been in vain..." "Tell my master that Bing''er misses the lullaby she used to sing..." "Lastly, the storage ring inside the stone coffin is yours for the taking... There is also a spiritual spring under the coffin, which can aid your cultivation..." "May you preserve the immortal path and revive the glory of Luo Tian!" "Luo Bing''er, the sixth-generation direct disciple of the Luo family, leaves this..." The voice from the sound transmission jade slip faded away, leaving Su Xing in silence. "Alas... it''s a pity that the Luo Tian Sect was not rebuilt in this world!" Su Xing sighed, collected Luo Bing''er''s remains, and then moved the stone coffin aside, revealing the clear spring underneath. "Wow... Just how much spiritual liquid is there!?" Su Xing''s eyes widened as he saw the spring, one zhng wide, beneath the coffin. He quickly fetched a large water jar and used the water manipulation technique to collect it. Moments later, Su Xing still looked excited. "A total of five cubic meters of spiritual liquid!" "At two million drops of spiritual liquid per cubic meter... that''s a full ten million drops of spiritual liquid!" "And it''s all high-grade spiritual liquid!" Su Xing took a deep breath. Ten million drops of high-grade spiritual liquid... equivalent to a billion drops of low-grade spiritual liquid! "This... is the foundation of the Luo Tian Sect?" Su Xing mumbled. Even a Heavenly Immortal couldn''t produce such a quantity of spirit liquid! "Goodness... The resources for cultivation in the three realms of heaven, earth, and human are not something to worry about now!" Chapter 283 Luotian Legacy, Astonishing Wealth! [Request for Monthly Tickets]_5 Su Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.This trip to the Spirit Realm, with the portions of the Luo Tian legacy he obtained, was simply too profitable! Read exclusive chapters at empire ... Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality, but the excitement on his face was hard to hide. "Luo Binger... even at the Earth Immortal Realm, the legacy treasures she carried were already so many!" "Then if it''s Ghost Grandma''s Dao companion, that True Immortal Realm cultivator... how many legacies would he be carrying!?" Su Xing took a deep breath. According to his thoughts, the Luo Tian Sect must surely know the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket. That stronger Li Yun True Immortal, was clearly the bigger basket, able to hold more eggs! If Su Xing could reach the Green Wood Realm... perhaps he could obtain an even greater legacy? "However... it''s not certain, maybe Li Yun True Immortal has already rebuilt the Luo Tian Sect, just hiding in the shadows?" Su Xing murmured. But in any case, the Green Wood Realm, he had to visit in the future! "But right now, the Spirit Race''s legacy... must also be obtained as soon as possible!" "Not to mention the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Liquid, just those elixirs... selling them to the Great Xia Military, chambers of commerce, or even to other overseas countries, could earn endless simulated energy!" Su Xing estimated that once his strength increased a bit more. Ensuring that going to the Spirit Realm was safe, he could set off! "The trip to the Spirit Realm has ended... so next, it''s time to prepare for the journey to the Three Thousand Worlds!" Su Xing murmured. This time, simulating to enhance the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, staying on Blue Star any longer would be of no benefit. With this in mind, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [After returning to Blue Star from the Spirit Realm, you prepared to head directly to the Little Qingyun Realm to obtain Flesh Essence and accelerate cultivation.] [But before that, you went to the Beast Taming Realm to clear out threats and extend the time before Blue Star''s destruction.] [In the third year, you went to the Demon-Subduing Pass, heading towards the Red Moon.] [After reaching the end of the Slaughter Battlefield, you killed the Slaughter Envoy and entered the alternate space.] [Upon entering the alternate space, you chose to go to the Little Qingyun Realm through the black passage...] [You descended in the familiar northern region of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and the first thing you did was go to the White Emperor City''s Heavenly Secret Pavilion to sell intel.] [After selling important information, you sought to obtain intel about the Space Spirit Stone.] [But you only learned that this stone might appear in a secret realm, extremely rare, and if any information on the Space Spirit Stone emerged, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion would notify you.] Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Extra Update, Please Vote] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and was shocked."The Luo Tian Transformation Immortal Jue, encompassing all... does it actually have such an effect?" It removed the impurities from the divinity and transformed it into pure Great Dao law fragments. This meant that Su Xing could directly comprehend the Great Dao fragments, accelerating his understanding of the Great Dao! "This piece of spatial fragment... can save me at least a hundred years of painstaking cultivation! And this is under the enhancement of the acquired Taoist body... If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would take even longer!" Su Xing raised an eyebrow. Could the secret to becoming a saint be related to accelerating the comprehension of Great Dao laws? "Three supreme secrets of the Luo Tian Sect, the Zhengyi Submission Decision, accelerating the breakthrough of cultivation realms... the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, strengthening the physical body, at its peak achieving the Witch Clan''s physique, the physical body becoming saintly!" Enjoy new tales from empire "And this Luo Tian Transformation Immortal Jue... hides the effect of accelerating Great Dao comprehension..." Su Xing sighed slightly. It truly lived up to its name, being a top force that suppressed other sects several yuanhui ago, with such profound heritage! "These three legacies, even one alone could become the treasured inheritance of a top sect. Yet the Luo Tian Sect possesses all three!" Su Xing sighed. He originally planned to enhance the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, elevating it to the Great Achievement Realm all at once... But this spatial fragment made Su Xing hesitate. "Well, if I can find another spatial divinity to refine... it will bring about comprehension of the Space Dao." "Otherwise, I''ll honestly enhance the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!" After some consideration, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [After digesting the spatial fragment, you felt that your Space Spirit Domain became even stronger...] [The distance for spatial teleportation (instant transfer) also increased to a hundred miles!] [Thus, you continued to guard Heavenly Demon City, resisting the foreign race.] [So, another ten years passed...] [In the fiftieth year, you displayed bravery on the battlefield, killing many lower divine power foreign race members.] [But due to your cultivation realm, you remained at the Ten Thousand Commander level.] [Meanwhile, the battlefield situation continued to deteriorate over the past decade, with foreign races pouring in continually.] [This had its perks for you; with many foreign race intrusions, you acquired more foreign race flesh essence, slightly enhancing your cultivation speed for the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision.] [After killing several red-eyed foreign race deities, you discovered that their bodies lacked divinity... piquing your curiosity.] [Quickly, another ten years went by.] [In the sixtieth year, your Grand Witch Body Refining Decision made a minor breakthrough, increasing your strength to the power of six thousand mountains...] [In the same year, you reported the potential sneak attack on an Earth Immortal-level demon by the foreign race.] [Due to your status, this matter was promptly taken seriously.] [Half a year later, you received a reward and were given Earth Immortal Realm flesh essence...] [Over the next ten years, you gradually purchased quite a bit of Earth Immortal Realm flesh essence, furthering your cultivation...] [In the seventieth year, the frontline battlefield situation worsened significantly, prompting you to decide to leave the frontline early.] [Coincidentally, that year, a foreign race deity equivalent to the early Earth Immortal Realm launched a sneak attack on the frontline, causing widespread devastation and killing one hundred thousand...] [You stepped in, releasing 1,600 body-protecting sword auras, killing this foreign race member in one strike...] [Afterward, you feigned severe injury and death, withdrawing from the frontline...] [Before leaving, you were rewarded with 300 jin of Earth Immortal Realm flesh essence, enough for your cultivation needs for several decades.] [In the seventy-first year, you left Heavenly Demon City.] [Disguised and suppressing your aura, you first visited White Emperor City... By this time, White Emperor City was extremely desolate, with few cultivators on the streets.] [After you showed yourself, you were almost forcibly taken to fight on the front lines.] [But after presenting a Ten Thousand Commander token, you gained your freedom...] [You went to the intelligence office of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, hoping to find that young girl.] [This time, to your surprise, the young girl was still in Heavenly Demon City.] [It turned out that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion previously owed you information on the Space Spirit Stone, and now that the intel was available, they didn''t want to go back on their word and had waited for you a few more years, though they were on the brink of leaving this realm...] In the real world, seeing this made Su Xing''s heart stir, and he silently chanted: "Use immersive simulation... duration 31 days!" [Ding, you successfully used it... remaining origin energy source points: 37,397.] As the simulation prompt sound faded, Su Xing''s vision shifted and he appeared in the intelligence office of Heavenly Secret Pavilion. A young girl''s voice reached his ears. "This fellow Taoist... the transaction is completed. Do you have any more questions?" Su Xing looked at the jade slip in his hand and asked: "Now that calamity is imminent in the Little Qingyun Realm... Are you Heavenly Secret Pavilion just going to stand by and watch?" sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If you were willing to help guard this realm, how could the Small Qingyun Sect be invaded by foreign races to the point of destruction?" Su Xing was somewhat puzzled as to why these major forces were all leaving the Little Qingyun Realm instead of fighting the foreign race with all their might. Hearing Su Xing''s words, the young girl fell silent for a moment before saying: "Have you ever thought... if it weren''t for us major forces, the Little Qingyun Realm might have already fallen?" After pausing, the girl continued: "All beings in the world, even a certain world... all have their destined fate... every peck and drink involves cause and effect..." "There is only so much we can do..." Having said this, the girl waved her sleeve, and by the time Su Xing regained his composure, he found he had left the Heavenly Secret Pavilion shop. Looking through the window again at the shop''s interior, it was already empty... "All have their destined fate?" Su Xing frowned slightly, muttering this phrase repeatedly. Was the foreign invasion and the demise of the Three Thousand Worlds an unavoidable fate? No, he did not believe it! Chapter 284 Simulating a Century, Su Xing is Destiny! [Extra Chapter, Please Vote] _3 "Given my current cultivation realm, I can''t conceal it for now... But a hundred years of simulation should be enough!"Su Xing was quite satisfied with this. For him, with enough resources, a hundred years of cultivation could match a thousand years of hard work for other immortals. If every simulation could last a hundred years... It''s possible that in one or two months, Su Xing could achieve the Earth Immortal Realm! "Alright, let''s see the rewards for this simulation!" Su Xing''s heart moved, and he looked at the simulation panel. [Fiery Flame Divine Body]: Golden talent, priced at 10 origin energy points. [Great Dao of Space (Insight)]: Enhances insight into the Great Dao of Space, remains at the embryonic realm without reaching the beginner''s level, priced at 10,000 origin energy points. [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision First Layer (Great Achievement)]: The first layer of Grand Witch Body Refining Decision in the great achievement state, with the physical strength capable of fighting late-stage Human Immortal Realm cultivators, priced at 30,000 origin energy points. [High-grade Spiritual Liquid 5 portions (approximately 10 million drops)]: Priced at 10,000 origin energy points. Su Xing glanced at the reward list. Besides the mentioned rewards, there were many magical treasures and spirit stones, but none were his target this time. Without hesitation, Su Xing directly chanted in his mind: "I choose the Fiery Flame Divine Body talent... and the first layer insight of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!" [You have successfully acquired the Fiery Flame Divine Body talent, costing 10 origin energy points, remaining origin energy points: 37,387...] [You have successfully acquired the first layer of Grand Witch Body Refining Decision (Great Achievement), costing 30,000 origin energy points, remaining origin energy points: 7,397...] As the prompt sound fell, two mysterious energies surged into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing felt a slight change in his physique, and his sensitivity to the Great Dao of Fire and fire spiritual energy became sharper. Meanwhile, Su Xing''s overall aura also began to rapidly increase. For the first-layer cultivation of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, he had officially reached the late stage! The pure physical strength surpassed the power of seven thousand mountains! Feeling the explosive increase in his physical strength, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. "No wonder it''s the secret technique of the Ancient Witch Clan... The body refinement is naturally perfected, truly extraordinary!" After marveling for a while, Su Xing disguised and concealed his aura, preparing to head to the mountains outside Kyoto City to trade with Lu Yuanwu. Moments later, Su Xing flew on his sword to the Immortal Martial Era instance, with an additional 20,000 origin energy points on the simulation panel. ... Continue reading at empire "Thirty miner puppets are already enough!" "So, this week will be dedicated to fully maturing the spirit rice!" Su Xing murmured as he entered the Spirit Field Cave. At this moment, the spirit grains in the field were still lush green, far from maturity. "The use of wood immortal power... also requires a method!" "If merely using immortal power for irrigation to hasten maturity, it''s a waste of immortal power and spiritual liquid... and yields only half the results!" Su Xing thought of an art from the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, the Spirit Rain Technique! Essentially, it transformed mana into spiritual rain to quickly mature crops or spirit plants. "Since spiritual power can be used... immortal power should have even better effects!" Su Xing murmured, then attempted to learn this technique. Sarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Learning the Spirit Rain Technique was not difficult. In just a moment, Su Xing mastered it without a teacher and began to perform it. Standing in the center of the spirit field, with a thought, pure wood immortal power surged into the air, combined with the sweet spring water from the spiritual spring, and rapidly transformed into spiritual rain filled with immortal qi, falling onto the spirit rice. In just a quarter of an hour, ten acres of spirit rice were moistened by Su Xing with sweet dew, maturing instantly and with better quality. "Not bad... Maturing ten acres of spirit rice in a quarter of an hour, so for five hundred acres... about six to seven hours..." "Considering the time needed for the puppets to harvest the spirit rice..." "In about one day, I can harvest five hundred acres of spirit field, which is ten million pounds of spirit rice!" After a bit of calculation, Su Xing knew that in just ten days, he could harvest one hundred million pounds of spirit rice! Selling it to the Great Xia Military would yield a thousand billion energy... or ten thousand origin energy points in revenue! Thinking of the upcoming large amount of origin energy, Su Xing felt full of motivation. The next week, Su Xing spent busily hastening the maturation of the spirit rice... (Brothers, it''s the end of the month. Please vote for monthly tickets. An extra update is presented!) Chapter 286 Unexpected Talent, Late Bloomers Astonishing Impact! [8k] Su Xing saw this and first breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became somewhat puzzled.He was relieved that Blood Three ultimately did not dare to step into Heavenly Demon City. The incarnation of that Heavenly Demon General at least had the strength of a Golden Immortal, and in a home-field battle, it was enough to deter. What puzzled Su Xing was that the foreign race clearly had the strength to break through Heavenly Demon City in one fell swoop but was waiting for an opportunity... "This... What opportunity are they waiting for?" Su Xing closed his eyes in deep thought. On the battlefield, there were only two reasons why the advantageous side would wait for an opportunity. First, reinforcements would arrive for their side, allowing them to expand their advantage and take the city without a bloodshed... Second, they were waiting for the enemy''s strength to weaken, to attack the city with greater certainty and minimal losses... "So, which reason is it? Or is it both?" Su Xing didn''t know for the moment and could only look at the simulation panel. sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You observed the movements of the foreign race in Heavenly Demon City day by day...] [You discovered that the strength of the red-eyed foreign race had increased by more than 30% within a few months, and the pressure on the front lines was growing...] [What worried you even more was that in the skies over countless cities to the north of Heavenly Demon City, millions of miles away... it was gradually turning red!] [This red color... You were all too familiar with it!] [It was Xue Yue!] [The power of Red Moon was gradually recovering!] [This greatly increased the strength of the red-eyed foreign race, and the overall strength of the foreign race grew rapidly...] [You were worried that if the Red Moon fully revived... the Little Qingyun Realm might fall irretrievably into the abyss!] [After many considerations, you decided to report this to Heavenly Demon City!] [Surprisingly, the higher-ups of Heavenly Demon City did not respond...] [Given your commander status, after several reports, a True Immortal in the city met with you.] [This True Immortal was from the Heavenly Demon Prison, the practical highest authority in Heavenly Demon City apart from that incarnation.] [He did not hide anything from you and only told you that they had long known about the fact that Red Moon was about to revive.] [But this... was an unavoidable open strategy!] Stay connected via empire [The foreign race''s overall strength was higher than the Little Qingyun Realm. How could the cultivators of Heavenly Demon City fight back?] [They could only delay time, watching the Red Moon revive... waiting for the day of complete annihilation!] [You asked why the incarnation of the Heavenly Demon General did not act?] [Perhaps its action... could prevent the revival of Red Moon?] [The True Immortal shook his head slightly, seemingly unwilling to speak about some difficulties.] [Helpless, you could only continue cultivating within Heavenly Demon City, keeping an eye on the foreign race''s movements...] [However, things did not go well. As the battle on the front lines grew increasingly brutal, sometimes medium divine power, and even strong divine power, foreign deities approached, making it difficult to defend.] [Even you, on the front lines, were treading on thin ice, narrowly escaping danger several times under the blessing of your luck talent...] [Thus, five years passed...] [In the 105th year, you did not dare to delve deep into the battlefield. However, when a frontline fortress was surrounded, you had to take the risk to support it.] [Unexpectedly, it was a trap laid specifically for you!] [Surrounded by three medium divine power foreign deities, you fought desperately and managed to kill one foreign deity... and then fainted with exhaustion...] [When you woke up again, you were in a familiar formation with a pair of blood-red eyes staring down at you...] [Whispers reached your ears... Your consciousness gradually faded...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing was speechless. "Red Moon is actually still fixated on me... Is it indeed for the Luo Tian legacy in me?" Su Xing shook his head slightly, not expecting that Red Moon and the foreign races had specifically set a trap to capture him. "Well, I have simulated for 105 years... the simulation goal has been basically achieved!" Su Xing closed his eyes in deep thought, summarizing the gains and losses of this simulation. "If I were to hole up in Heavenly Demon City and only defend without going out, would I be able to simulate for a longer time?" "Hmm... This point is worth considering!" "That Void Beast ruin, once I am stronger, it can also be explored!" "The All-Encompassing Flower in the Blackwater Realm... I will have to pay a visit in the future! "And the Zhengyi Submission Decision... I must quickly cultivate to the second level, so the training speed bonus can help my cultivation level rise faster!" After some general summarizing and filling in gaps, Su Xing glanced at the rewards for this simulation. [Old but Powerful]: Purple talent, priced at 1 point of origin energy. [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision Level One (Perfection)]: Grand Witch Body Refining Decision level one at perfection, with physical strength rivaling perfection-level Human Immortal Realm cultivators; priced at 30,000 points of origin energy. [Zhengyi Submission Decision Insight (First Level)]: An unparalleled secret method of the Luo Tian Sect, can consume the Qi of the Twelve Hours; daily cultivation for one hour equals one day of diligent cultivation. Priced at 10,000 points of origin energy. [Space Spirit Stone (4 pieces)]: A curious mineral born from the void, has the wonderful use of stabilizing space, can be used in magical treasure refinement; priced at 20,000 points of origin energy. Looking at the rewards in front of him, Su Xing hesitated slightly. "The Space Spirit Stone... is produced in the secret realm of the 67th year, and when I obtained the stone, Qing Yunzi had already emerged..." "This indicates that I cannot go to Qingyun!" "It also means I must take the Space Spirit Stone out of the secret realm... and then seek out the Qingyun Sect''s Qi Refinement Grandmaster to refine it..." Su Xing frowned slightly, understanding that this meant he would lose 20,000 points of origin energy and waste one of his simulation choices. "Unfortunately, there''s no better way... To obtain the half-step Acquired Treasure, I must do this!" "But for now, the priority is to improve my cultivation level... The Space Supreme Treasure can wait to be taken out later..." Chapter 286 Unexpected Talent, The Astonishing Effect of Late Bloomers! 【8k】_2 Su Xing estimated that a damaged top-tier spatial Immortal Treasure would require at least twenty thousand units of Origin Energy Source.A semi-Acquired Treasure of the spatial category might even need a hundred thousand units of Origin Energy Source? With Su Xing''s current resources, he was temporarily unable to afford such an exchange. He realized that only after trading with the Great Xia Military and selling the Spirit Rice might he have enough. Understanding this, Su Xing no longer hesitated and silently murmured: "I choose to achieve perfection in the first layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and gain an insight into the Zhengyi Submission Decision." [You have successfully brought out the first layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision (perfection), costing 30,000 units of Origin Energy Source. Remaining Origin Energy Source: 13,180 units...] [You have successfully brought out the first layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision (insight), costing 10,000 units of Origin Energy Source. Remaining Origin Energy Source: 3,180 units...] As the simulation prompt sounded, two streams of energy flowed into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing''s mind was filled with many insights, both from the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and the Zhengyi Submission Decision. Simultaneously, Su Xing''s physical body also began to rapidly transform. In just a few breaths, Su Xing''s physical strength climbed to the power of ten thousand mountains... Which was referred to as the power of mountains and rivers! A moment later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, stretching his muscles to adapt to the sudden surge in power. "Not bad... Compared to the initial formation of my Immortal Physique, my strength has increased several folds, and the durability of my physical body has also multiplied..." The strength of one mountain... was twenty million tons! The strength of ten thousand mountains! Power to lift mountains and rivers! Su Xing couldn''t comprehend the extent of his current power, as there were no longer any rivals for him on Blue Star. "The Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, each breakthrough is a qualitative leap!" "Breaking through from the first layer to the second layer, not only does it significantly increase strength, but it also grants new abilities!" Su Xing took a deep breath, focusing on the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, which primarily cultivated Origin Force! Su Xing was no stranger to Origin Force, it was the most crucial power for Body Refinement Cultivators! Even before becoming immortal, Su Xing had already planted the seed of Origin Force in his body, making it endlessly regenerative. Su Xing''s mastery of Origin Force had already reached the third layer, allowing him to release it externally! However, Origin Force was originally a special power developed by later Body Refinement Cultivators, modeled after the Witch Clan. It could be said that the Witch Clan was the ancestor of mastering Origin Force! The second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision would allow the seed of Origin Force in his body to bloom, while also enhancing its power and longevity! "Additionally, the nurturing of Origin Weapons... The second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision greatly accelerates this process!" "Perhaps my Ink Ice Sword can also reach the level of a top-tier Magical Treasure... Maybe even an Acquired Treasure!" Su Xing took a deep breath, feeling a sense of anticipation. He took out the Spirit Sword Mo Bing, the cold sword lightly hummed in Su Xing''s hand. This Ink Ice Sword had accompanied Su Xing for years, and he found it exceptionally handy, unwilling to replace it unless absolutely necessary. "And then there''s the Zhengyi Submission Decision..." Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, taking a deep breath as he tried to sense the rhythm of Qi. "Consuming the Qi of the Twelve Hours... This will save me a lot of time in future cultivation!" Explore more stories at empire Su Xing murmured to himself. He glanced at the time, Lu Yuanwu was probably already waiting at the agreed location. Disguising himself and concealing his breath, Su Xing went to meet Lu Yuanwu. After the transaction was completed, Su Xing gained an additional twenty thousand units of Origin Energy Source. Looking at the simulation panel with the Origin Energy Source restored to five digits, Su Xing sighed. "Ah, the Origin Energy Source comes fast... and goes just as quickly!" "With my current cultivation level, extracting cultivation during a simulation costs at least thirty to forty thousand units of Origin Energy Source each time..." "And this is just at the Human Immortal Realm... When I reach the Earth Immortal Realm, the consumption will undoubtedly be even more astonishing..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, realizing he couldn''t slack off in acquiring more Origin Energy Source. With this in mind, Su Xing rode his sword to the Xianwu World. Upon entering the Xianwu World, instead of refining a puppet, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Cave to accelerate the growth of the Spirit Rice. The Spirit Rice he had accumulated before had been used up in the trade with the Great Xia Military. Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Moreover, the daily production of Fasting Pills also required a large amount of Spirit Rice, compelling Su Xing to stockpile some. "Let''s accelerate the growth of Spirit Rice for another week... Accumulating several million pounds should be sufficient?" Su Xing mumbled to himself. For the next week, Su Xing stayed in the cave accelerating the growth of the Spirit Rice. ... Before long, the date was August 12th. Su Xing returned to Blue Star and met Jin Congxue at the villa. Jin Congxue was wearing a white short dress today, sitting in front of Su Xing with a beaming smile. "Oh, did something good happen today? Why are you so happy?" Su Xing teased. Jin Congxue scoffed: "It''s all because of you!" "The trade with the Great Xia Military has made progress... We can conduct the transaction as soon as a week from now!" Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this, the speed was indeed not slow. The thought of gaining a hundred thousand units of Origin Energy Source soon made Su Xing a bit excited. After bidding farewell to Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave. On August 12th, 2025, Su Xing started his 99th simulation on time. "Start simulation!" [The 99th simulation has begun, current remaining Origin Energy Source: 39,180 units... Remaining simulations: none.] [Simulation started!] [Drawing Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 unit of Origin Energy Source, do you wish to draw?] Su Xing thought for a moment and decided not to draw the Golden Talent. Instead, he wanted to bring out the Great Talent Maturing Late! "In the previous simulation, I lived for one hundred and five years... I was 128 years old then, which meant I received 28 years of doubled cultivation speed, which is already considerable!" "It''s time to make use of the Great Talent Maturing Late!" Su Xing found that the purple talents he had previously drawn could be more effective than the golden ones in some special situations! Chapter 286 Unexpected Talent, the Amazing Effect of Being a Late Bloomer! [8k]_3 And now, it was precisely the time when Su Xing needed to utilize these talents!"Start the talent pool draw..." Over the next few minutes, Su Xing spent a total of 23 Origin Energy Points before drawing the "Late Bloomer" talent from the pool, which made him somewhat distressed. Fortunately, the talent was obtained, and Su Xing''s Origin Energy was not wasted. [Detected that the host selected the talent "Late Bloomer," simulation officially begins!] [In the Spirit Field Cave... you realized you were in a simulation!] [You received news from Jin Congxue, telling you that the transaction went smoothly, and you got ten million Abyss Stones.] [After disguising yourself, you went to the villa, used Divine Sense to observe the surroundings, confirmed no one was watching, and retrieved the Abyss Stones.] [Ten days later, you went to the Luo Tian Instance...] In the real world, Su Xing silently said: "Use the Immersive Simulation..." [Ding...] Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and after regaining consciousness, Su Xing habitually glanced at the attribute panel. Unexpectedly, he found that his Dao of Puppets had officially entered the Mahayana Level! "Hiss... Ghost Grandma, definitely a Great Grandmaster Level figure in the Dao of Puppets!" "Just these dozens of immersive simulations... have brought my Dao of Puppets to the Mahayana Level, equivalent to a tenth-tier Puppet Grandmaster!" "This saved me at least a thousand years of dedicated research in the Dao of Puppets!" Su Xing sighed slightly, unknowingly, his Dao of Puppets had also reached the Mahayana Level. In the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, Su Xing was involved in Alchemy, Talismans, Dao of Arrays, Puppets, cultivating spirits, and more. Unlike ordinary cultivators, Su Xing did these to gain more energy. "The Mahayana Dao of Puppets... means those puppets can be refined again, and the efficiency will likely further increase!" Su Xing muttered, his gaze shifting to the simulation panel. [After leaving the Luo Tian Instance, your Dao of Puppets reached the Mahayana Level!] [A few days later, you contacted Luo Shuying and went to the Spiritual Ancestral Land to retrieve some of Luo Tian Sect''s inherited treasures.] [You did not rush to leave Blue Star but chose to stay and continue comprehending the Zhengyi Submission Decision.] [You practiced for an hour every day, consuming a thousand drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid, equivalent to ten days of regular cultivation for a Human Immortal Realm cultivator.] [The rest of the time, you devoted to comprehending the Zhengyi Submission Decision.] [Every twenty-four solar terms, your comprehending speed of the second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision was the fastest...] [Thus, ten years passed.] [The tenth year, during these ten years, the Descending Sect attempted multiple assassinations on Jin Congxue. Before Damned Dragon could personally act, you had her go to the Demon-Subduing Pass for refuge, avoiding a disaster.] [Although your strength could easily handle Damned Dragon, you did not intend to do so.] [Because once you kill Damned Dragon, Blood Three might descend on Blue Star within a few years.] [Even if you shielded yourself from heavenly secrets, it would still be hard to fend off Blood Three''s probing.] [At that time, you would have no choice but to leave Blue Star...] [Thus, you stayed on Blue Star to cultivate.] [Thus, another ten years passed.] [The twentieth year, your progress on the second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision accelerated, and on six solar term days like Awakening of Insects, Grain in Ear, and Spring Dew, your cultivation speed increased more than tenfold.] [You were delighted and practiced even harder...] [The twenty-third year, you went to the Beast Taming Realm and resolved some hidden dangers.] [The twenty-eighth year, a Demon Saint descended on the Demon-Subduing Pass.] [You chose to reveal yourself at this time and guarded the Demon-Subduing Pass for five years.] [The thirty-third year, the Demon Saint retreated, and you continued to cultivate the Zhengyi Submission Decision.] [Another nine years passed, and you successively comprehended the solar terms of Cold Dew, Frost''s Descent, and Autumn Equinox... greatly accelerating your cultivation speed!] Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire [The forty-second year, you had already managed to ensure a cultivation speed fifteen times faster than usual on twelve solar term days.] [That year, a deity of a lower divine power of the Foreign Race descended on the Demon-Subduing Pass!] [When you saw this deity about to destroy the Demon-Subduing Pass, you stepped forward and killed it with a single punch through physical power...] [Outside the Demon-Subduing Pass, a thousand-foot-deep grand canyon suddenly appeared, the beast''s blood flowed into the canyon, turning it into a river of blood.] [After killing the God-level Foreign Race, you did not intend to linger on Blue Star but prepared to go to Little Qingyun Realm to cultivate!] [The forty-third year, after explaining to several friends and family, you went to the Little Qingyun Realm...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "According to the previous simulation, repelling this wave of Foreign Race in the forty-second year could delay Red Moon''s revival by ten years..." "This means that the Red-eyed Foreign Race will only appear on the battlefield in the sixtieth year." "Such a delay in the unfavorable frontline situation might allow me to simulate a few more years..." Su Xing''s lips curved slightly upward. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With the support of the "Late Bloomer," each additional year of simulation would double Su Xing''s gains. For this reason, without cultivation resources unavailable on Blue Star, staying on Blue Star to delay the Foreign Race was the best strategy. Su Xing thought so, his gaze turning to the simulation panel. [You descended in the northern part of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and immediately headed towards the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [You sold the intelligence to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, telling them that the Foreign Race would accelerate the invasion of Little Qingyun Realm in about seventeen years.] [After selling the intelligence, you obtained a considerable amount of Spirit Stones.] [According to your estimation, the Red-eyed Foreign Race would appear around the sixtieth year.] [For the next twenty or thirty years, you didn''t have to worry about the Descending Sect bothering you, so you stayed in the White Emperor City to comprehend the Zhengyi Submission Decision with peace of mind.] [Thus, seven more years passed.] [The fiftieth year, that year your cultivation level broke through to the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] Chapter 286 Unexpected Talent, the Amazing Effect of Being a Late Bloomer! [8k]_4 [You made some progress in your understanding of the Zhengyi Submission Decision.][Time flew by, and another ten years passed...] [In the sixtieth year, you slightly improved your understanding of the second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision.] [You mastered sixteen methods of Consuming Qi during special days, allowing your cultivation speed during those days to be twenty times faster than usual...] [This year, you went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in White Emperor City to purchase intelligence on the frontline situation.] [As you expected, the situation at the frontline was dire with the initial appearance of the red-eyed foreign race.] [You stayed in the inner city of White Emperor City for a day, sold the intelligence about the possible ambush on Heavenly Immortals, and then returned to your cave to cultivate...] Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "Not bad... If the situation continues like this, this simulation could last at least a few more years!" "As for this Zhengyi Submission Decision, I wonder if I can master the second layer in this simulation?" Su Xing felt a bit worried. The Zhengyi Submission Decision had three layers, each more difficult than the last. The first layer could be cultivated daily and was not slow, yet Su Xing took one hundred and twenty years to master it. The second layer could also be cultivated daily, but the speed was slow. Only on special days could the cultivation speed increase. Moreover, the second layer was the most complex, requiring twenty-four different methods of Consuming Qi for the twenty-four special days! For example, during the Great Heat day, one needed to find a particularly hot place to consume Qi to achieve optimal results. Fortunately, Su Xing could set up formations to simulate different environments of the special days, making it less troublesome. "At this rate, completing the second layer will take at least two to three hundred years!" "Now, I can only hope for enlightenment!" Su Xing sighed and looked at the simulation panel. [After selling the intelligence, you returned to your cave to cultivate, and another ten years passed.] [In the seventieth year, your cultivation reached the mid-stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm, and the Zhengyi Submission Decision slightly improved.] [This year, you planned to join the army in the Heavenly Demon City for safer cultivation.] [You took a flying ship to the Heavenly Demon City and demonstrated your ability as an eleventh-tier formation grandmaster.] [You were incorporated into the logistics army of the Heavenly Demon City, gaining some safety. Besides setting up formations, you had plenty of spare time to cultivate.] [Thus, another seven years passed.] [In the seventy-seventh year, you were promoted to a Ten Thousand Commander.] [In the same April, you turned one hundred years old and officially triggered the Great Talent Maturing Late.] [After triggering this talent, you were surprised to find that the improvement in cultivation speed affected not only your cultivation level but also doubled your speed in comprehending divine skills and techniques!] [You were delighted and started cultivating harder.] [Thus, another thirteen years passed...] [In the ninetieth year, you reached the late stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm!] [In the same year, your mastery of the Zhengyi Submission Decision further improved, allowing you to increase your cultivation speed by twenty times on twenty special days.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and showed a look of delight. "The Great Talent Maturing Late... it can also enhance the cultivation of divine skills and techniques?" Su Xing opened the simulation panel and carefully examined the description of the Great Talent Maturing Late. Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Great Talent Maturing Late: Automatically takes effect when your age exceeds one hundred years, doubling your cultivation speed on the current basis! "That''s right! It''s cultivation speed... not necessarily Qi Refinement!" "To be precise, Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, and divine skills all count as cultivation!" This talent''s importance increased further in Su Xing''s eyes! "Damn, the importance of this talent is no less than that of a golden-quality talent!" Su Xing looked excited. Seeing it this way, the duration of the simulation became even more important! He looked at the simulation panel again. [You cultivated in the Heavenly Demon City for decades while keeping an eye on the frontline war.] [As expected, although the human race was at a disadvantage on the frontline, the situation was not yet critical.] [But if the current situation continued, it would deteriorate significantly within the next twenty years.] [So you seized the time and cultivated even harder...] [Thus, another ten years passed.] [In the hundredth year, one day, while cultivating the Zhengyi Submission Decision, you entered a mysterious state.] [You gained new insights into the twenty-four special days, feeling a hint of reincarnation and the Path of Time in the changes of the special days...] Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire [Congratulations! You triggered an accidental enlightenment!] [This enlightenment lasted for a full seven days...] [Seven days of enlightenment equated to seventy years of hard cultivation!] [When you came out of the enlightenment state, you felt a sense of loss.] [But then you were pleasantly surprised to find that you had mastered twenty-three methods of Consuming Qi for the special days, and your efficiency had reached twenty-nine times!] [You were just one step away from fully mastering the second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision with only the Spring Equinox day remaining.] [Overjoyed, you seized the time to cultivate even more.] [However, that year, the situation at the frontline became extremely dire, with frequent deaths of Earth Immortal cultivators.] [Fortunately, you stayed in the Heavenly Demon City and did not go to the frontline.] [Even so, you did not dare to be complacent.] [You knew that the Red Moon might already know your whereabouts, and if you fought on the frontline, you could be captured.] [Additionally, Blood Three from the Descending Sect might be hunting for you outside...] [So, you stayed in the Heavenly Demon City and seized the last bit of time to cultivate.] [Thus, eight years passed...] [In the one hundred and eighth year, your cultivation reached the late stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] [You also successfully mastered the method of Consuming Qi on the Spring Equinox day, the last one.] [The only regret was that your efficiency in consuming Qi stayed at twenty-nine times, not reaching the perfect level of one day''s cultivation equal to a month''s hard cultivation.] Chapter 286 Unexpected Talent, Incredible Late Bloomer Effect! [8000] _5 [Thus, you consumed the Spirit Awakening Pill, activating the Great Wisdom State, preparing for the final sprint!][After a month, when you emerged from seclusion, you had finally perfectly comprehended the second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision!] [Congratulations, you can now consume all twenty-four solar terms, greatly enhancing your cultivation speed!] Su Xing saw this and let out a long sigh of relief. "Fortunately... I successfully triggered an epiphany! Otherwise, who knows how much longer it would have taken to comprehend the second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision..." Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing did some quick calculations. The second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision had taken twenty years of cultivation in his last simulation. Counting the eighty years of cultivation this time, it totals one hundred years. With the nearly twenty years of Late Bloomer''s blessing, it''s another forty years... A month of the Spirit Awakening Pill equates to ten years of hard work; seven days of epiphany equates to another seventy years... "So, the second layer of cultivation took approximately two hundred and forty years in total?" Su Xing took a deep breath and remarked, "Tsk tsk... This Zhengyi Submission Decision is indeed not something an average person can cultivate!" "And this is just the second layer... The third layer is even more difficult, possibly several times, if not dozens of times harder... It''s likely impossible to master in a short time..." Su Xing shook his head slightly. He planned to start fully focusing on advancing his Qi Refinement cultivation after this simulation! The second layer of Zhengyi Submission Decision, with its roughly threefold increase in cultivation speed, would suffice for now! Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the Simulation Panel. [After reaching the second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision, you were very satisfied.] [Consequently, you spent more time focusing on the front-line battle situation.] [With the previous experiences, you remained within the main city of Heavenly Demon City, never venturing outside.] [You declined several assignments to set up formations at the front line, claiming your strength was insufficient and stayed in the city to arrange formations.] [As a result, even after spending several decades in Heavenly Demon City, your accumulated military merits remained at the level of a Ten Thousand Commander, far from becoming a commander...] [Thus, another twelve years passed!] [On the one hundred and twentieth year, the situation at the front line was tense, with signs that the Foreign Race might break through the city at any moment.] [You believed you would die at the hands of the Foreign Race.] [Unexpectedly, a surprise guest arrived in Heavenly Demon City that day...] [Dressed in black, resembling a demon, it was Qing Yunzi!] [Qing Yunzi had only one purpose in coming to this city, which was to find you!] [You didn''t know how he found your location, but when he appeared behind you, your heart pounded, and your instincts for avoiding danger screamed warnings.] [At the same time, a tall, majestic man, covered in black armor, appeared beside you.] [It was the manifestation of the Heavenly Demon General, the highest combat power guarding Heavenly Demon City!] [He sensed Qing Yunzi''s presence and came to this place!] [The Heavenly Demon General wore a mask, so you couldn''t see his face.] [But from his tone, you could detect a hint of displeasure...] [He frowned at Qing Yunzi and said, This is not a place you should be!] [Qing Yunzi, somewhat crazed, pointed at you, stating he only needed you!] [As long as you left with him, he would withdraw from Heavenly Demon City!] [The Heavenly Demon General, never yielding in his life, even if merely a manifestation, refused to be threatened.] [But Qing Yunzi waved his hand and said, If you choose to save him, today will be the day Heavenly Demon City falls!] [The usually unyielding Heavenly Demon General fell silent upon hearing this.] [Before leaving, he gave Qing Yunzi a deep look, then vanished from the spot.] [After the Heavenly Demon General left, Qing Yunzi waved his hand, and you followed him out of Heavenly Demon City...] [When you came to your senses, you were already in a deep mountain.] [Qing Yunzi instantly set up a prohibition and reached out to grab you, intending to perform a Soul Search without a word.] Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Thinking quickly, you shouted, Master!] [Simultaneously, you claimed to have acquired part of the Luo Tian Sect''s legacy and were willing to offer it to help Qing Yunzi become a Saint!] [Upon hearing your words, Qing Yunzi retracted his hand, looking at you with great interest.] [You braced yourself and handed over the inheritance from the Spirit Realm intact.] [But Qing Yunzi merely scanned them with his Divine Sense and stated those were not what he needed...] [Your heart tightened, and you quickly stated that you also knew the Luo Tianhua Immortal Jue, the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, and the Zhengyi Submission Decision!] [As you spoke, you began reciting the incantations in front of Qing Yunzi...] [Qing Yunzi interrupted you halfway through and demanded to know what exactly he was looking for.] [At this moment, Qing Yunzi seemed to have lost part of his sanity, crazily saying, The Pure Heart Jue! I need the Pure Heart Jue to neutralize the flaws in the Three Purities from One Qi!] Chapter 287 Another Divine Body! Teasing Qing Yunzi? [8k] [Having said that, Qing Yunzi did not wait for your reaction, reaching out to search your soul...][Your consciousness gradually dissipated...] [You are dead!] [Ding, this simulation ends!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned slightly. "Three Purities from One Qi... Is this Qing Yunzi''s famous Divine Skill?" "But what does this have to do with Qingshan Jue?" Su Xing fell into deep thought, piecing together clues he had gathered over the days. Qing Yunzi in black, white, and green robes... Evil Corpse, Self Corpse, Good Corpse... Slaying the Three Corpses to become a Saint? The side effects of reversing the slaying of the Three Corpses... Immortal Ziling''s mysterious Yin Sacred Body... Luo Tian Sect''s Qingshan Jue, neutralizing the side effects of Three Purities from One Qi!? A flash of insight crossed Su Xing''s mind, connecting all the dots... "So, what Qing Yunzi desires is the Qingshan Jue passed down by the Luo Tian Sect!?" "Qingshan Jue can alleviate, even remove, the side effects of Three Purities from One Qi and the reversal of slaying the Three Corpses!" "This is the key to Qing Yunzi''s path, the opportunity to become a Saint!" Su Xing took a deep breath, finally understanding! What Qing Yunzi sought was never the method of becoming a Saint through Body Refinement, nor top-tier Cultivation Techniques like Luo Tianhua Immortal Jue or Zhengyi Submission Decision. As a Daluo Golden Immortal, a powerful cultivator who had become a Semi-Saint by slaying corpses. He had certainly found his own path, making these techniques useless to him! What he needed was the "Qingshan Jue" of the Luo Tian Sect, to compensate for the deficiencies in his own cultivation... "But does Qingshan Jue really work on Qing Yunzi?" "If I find Qingshan Jue and present it... Can I build a good relationship with Qing Yunzi, simulating longer?" Su Xing pondered. In any case, Su Xing had to give it a try... "Very well! Next time in the simulation, I''ll go to the Luo Tian Sect and seek Qingshan Jue..." Su Xing estimated that, with his status, obtaining a Qingshan Jue shouldn''t be difficult? Having thought of this, Su Xing turned his gaze to the rewards from this simulation. For now, he still had to choose the gains from the simulation! [Late Bloomer]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 point of Origin Energy Source. [Insight of Zhengyi Submission Decision (Second Layer)]: An unparalleled secret technique of the Luo Tian Sect, currently comprehended to the second layer, allows consuming the Qi of the Twelve Hours and the Twenty-four Solar Terms, enjoying triple the cultivation boost of ordinary cultivation and saving a lot of time, priced at 20,000 Origin Energy Sources. [Second Layer of Human Immortal Realm Cultivation Level]: Human Immortal Realm cultivator, has reached the late phase of the Second Layer, priced at 10,000 Origin Energy Sources. [Flesh Essence of the Earth Immortal Realm (100 pounds)]: Priced at 10,000 Origin Energy Sources. [Ten million low-grade Spirit Stones]: Priced at 10,000 Origin Energy Sources. Su Xing looked at the rewards from this simulation, without hesitation, he silently thought: "I choose the insight of Zhengyi Submission Decision and the talent Late Bloomer!" As his voice fell, a prompt from the simulator came to his ears. [You successfully brought out the purple talent Late Bloomer, costing 1 point of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source: 39,154 points] [You successfully brought out the insight of Zhengyi Submission Decision (Second Layer), costing 30,000 Origin Energy Sources, remaining Origin Energy Source: 9,154 points...] As the simulation prompt ended, two mysterious energies surged into Su Xing''s body. The purple talent merged into Su Xing''s forehead, disappearing. Its talent effects would not manifest temporarily. Subsequently, Su Xing''s mind was filled with numerous insights on Zhengyi Submission Decision. The Qi of the Twelve Hours, the Twenty-four Solar Terms, with its unpredictable changes, seemed to gather the essence of the sun and moon, the transformation of all life. Su Xing slightly closed his eyes, and in an instant, his mind state seemed to undergo a transformation. "Drifting in the heavens and earth, a small existence in the vast sea... The changes of all things in the world, only time is eternal, reincarnation unending..." Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, murmuring. After receiving the insights of Zhengyi Submission Decision, Su Xing seemed to see a scene. On the top of a mountain shrouded in celestial mist, Su Xing sat cross-legged, absorbing the Qi of all things into his body, sitting motionless for countless years, ascending in broad daylight... During this period, the sun and moon rotated, the extreme cold and heat alternated, spring came and went... And he remained unshakable! After a long while, Su Xing took a deep breath and whispered: "Zhengyi Submission Decision... Indeed related to the Great Dao of time and reincarnation?" A strange glimmer flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. This secret technique still harbored many secrets waiting for him to uncover. Su Xing seemed to grasp a few thoughts, but they drifted away... ... After a moment, Su Xing slowly stood up, murmuring: "Perhaps the time is not ripe yet... Should focus on the now!" Glancing at the time, Su Xing disguised himself and concealed his aura, heading to trade with Lu Yuanwu. The new week''s 20,000 Origin Energy Sources obtained, Su Xing flew with his sword to the Immortal Martial Era Instance. This week, Su Xing had made some improvements to his thirty mining puppets. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The efficiency of mining raw Alien Metals increased by more than fifty percent! Thus, the amount of raw Alien Metals mined each week contained almost 25,000 points of Origin Energy Source! "At this rate, it won''t take three months for the raw Alien Metals in the Xianwu World to be exhausted..." "By then, I will have to find a new energy source..." Su Xing frowned slightly, as Alien Metals had now become one of his primary energy sources, he naturally was reluctant to give it up easily. Fortunately, there were still many unexplored instance worlds near Blue Star. With the "Geology Expert" talent, Su Xing could still find new mining instance worlds. On August 19, 2025, Su Xing returned to Blue Star and headed to a villa to meet Jin Congxue. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire "This is last week''s goods, refined Alien Metals..." Jin Congxue handed over a Storage Ring. Then she took another one out and said: "Here are ten million Abyss Stones obtained from the Spirit Rice trade..." Su Xing''s eyes lit up upon hearing this and he quickly accepted the two Storage Rings. With a thought, a prompt from the simulator came to his ear. Chapter 287 Another Divine Body! Toying with Qing Yunzi? [8k]_2 [Detected a large amount of Origin Energy Source material, worth 16,432 points of Origin Energy Source, would you like to absorb it?][Detected a large amount of Origin Energy Source material, worth 100,000 Origin Energy Source, would you like to absorb it?] "Yes!" Su Xing silently chanted. Two consecutive prompts made Su Xing laugh until his mouth could not close. "Counting the previous Origin Energy Source... now the Origin Energy Source in my hand amounts to 145,866 points!" "That''s equivalent to more than 140 billion Simulated Energy points!" Su Xing did some quick calculations in his heart, unable to hide his excitement. After a moment of joy, Su Xing looked up and saw Jin Congxue''s reproachful eyes. "Ahem, Sister Xue! Love you to death!" "You really are my benefactor!" Su Xing couldn''t hold back. After hugging Jin Congxue, he kissed her on the cheek. This made Jin Congxue blush furiously. After the two lingered in the room for a long time, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave. "Nearly 150,000 Origin Energy Source! It should be enough for now..." Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire "Next, Qi Refinement cultivation... and obtaining the Space Artifact, it''s time to get started!" Su Xing murmured, looking at the simulation panel that had finished cooling down. "Start simulation!" [The 100th simulation begins, current remaining Origin Energy Source is 145,866 points... no remaining simulation attempts.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, would you like to extract it?] Su Xing thought for a moment. Currently, there was no usable Purple Talent, so he silently chanted: "Extract!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining Golden Talent Water Spirit Body, the probability of extracting Golden Talent next time is 60%...] [Water Spirit Body]: Golden Talent, one of the Hundred Great Divine Bodies, can accelerate the comprehension of the Great Dao of Water and the absorption speed of Water Spiritual Energy. "Hmm? Another Divine Body!" Su Xing''s eyes lit up, but after carefully reading the description of Water Spirit Body, he frowned slightly. "Unfortunately... I don''t have a Water Spiritual Root, nor have I comprehended the Great Dao of Water... Can this Water Spirit Body still take effect?" Su Xing had a bad premonition. He looked at the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized that you were simulating.] [You felt some changes in your body and were eager to try cultivation...] [But no matter how you practiced, you couldn''t sense Water Spiritual Energy, and your cultivation speed didn''t change a bit...] [Unwilling to give up, you tried to comprehend the Great Dao of Water, but lacking relevant mediums, without Water Spiritual Root or Water Supreme Treasure, you didn''t know where to start...] [After a few days, you gave up.] [You accumulated Great Wisdom Talent and prepared to head to the Luo Tian Instance...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and sighed unexpectedly. "Sure enough... without Water Spiritual Root, the Water Spirit Body cannot be activated!" Su Xing was a bit speechless; those naturally endowed with Water Spirit Body must have Water Spiritual Root. But unfortunately, Su Xing''s Water Spirit Body was an acquired talent, lacking Water Spiritual Root, it couldn''t bring out the advantage of this Divine Body... "Well, it''s just a Divine Body... I already have the Fire Flame Body, so I don''t lack this one!" Now Su Xing was more curious about whether the Clear Heart Technique was within Luo Tian Sect. Thinking this way, Su Xing silently chanted: "Use Immersive Simulation, duration 1 day!" [Ding...] The vision before him changed, and Su Xing appeared in the Luo Tian Instance. A familiar mission process sounded in his ears. "Xiaochuan, go to the back mountain and ask your Brother Shennong to come over..." After listening, Su Xing nodded slightly but didn''t act immediately. Instead, he asked: "Master, does our Luo Tian Sect have the Clear Heart Technique? I would like to cultivate it..." After hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Qingniu was somewhat surprised but still nodded and said: "Yes, you can find it in the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, the Clear Heart Technique is the most basic clear heart cultivation technique, even outer disciples can practice it..." After hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, Su Xing was somewhat surprised. The most common technique in Luo Tian Sect? Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Is this really the Clear Heart Technique that Qing Yunzi was looking for? But anyway, since there was a clue, Su Xing had to investigate it. First, he completed the familiar mission process. He went to the back mountain to invite Shennong Youtian, then visited the main venue of the Luo Tian conference. Only after being "forcefully ejected from the mission" did Su Xing go to the Scripture Pavilion. Su Xing first went to the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion and found the Clear Heart Technique in an inconspicuous corner. With the help of the Great Wisdom State, Su Xing began to practice. Before long, the Immersive Simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality. "Strange... This Clear Heart Technique doesn''t seem to be anything special, it just looks like the most basic heart-clearing technique?" "It''s not even as effective as the Heart Enlightenment Pill... Can this really help Qing Yunzi?" Su Xing was somewhat skeptical. Given the difficulty of practicing the Clear Heart Technique, Su Xing had perfected it in just one day. But even so, Su Xing hadn''t found anything special... Techniques like the Clear Heart Technique could be found in any cultivation sect, with at least eighty to a hundred books. It didn''t look like a supreme secret technique at all. "Well, since Qing Yunzi specifically asked for it, I should give it a try anyway..." Su Xing murmured, looking at the simulation panel. [You left the Luo Tian Instance and began your formal cultivation.] [With the help of the Zhengyi Submission Decision, your cultivation speed was extremely fast. You only needed to practice for one hour a day to achieve the effect of a full day''s cultivation.] [You went to the Spiritual Ancestral Land and retrieved ten million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid.] [Thus, you spent one hour each day, consuming a hundred drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid, and your cultivation progressed daily.] [During the seasonal festivals like Spring Dew and Awakening of Insects, your cultivation speed would increase thirty times, with one day''s practice consuming three thousand drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid, equivalent to a month''s hard cultivation...] Chapter 287 Another Divine Body! Teasing Qing Yunzi? [8k]_3 [Cultivation disregards the passage of time, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.][In the tenth year, your cultivation level reached the late stage of the first layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] [Due to your abundant mana, the resources required to improve your cultivation level were several times that of cultivators in the same realm.] [In ten years, you expended a million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid, equivalent to three hundred years of hard cultivation for a regular Human Immortal Realm cultivator!] [Thus, another ten years passed.] [In the twentieth year, your cultivation level reached the peak of the first layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] [You started to break through to the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm...] [Due to your ample preparations and solid foundation, you succeeded in breaking through after two years of seclusion.] [In the twenty-second year, you went to the Beast Taming Realm and killed a foreign race.] [Afterward, you returned to the Spirit Field Cave to continue cultivating.] [Like a fleeting moment, six years passed in an instant...] [In the twenty-eighth year, the Demon Saint descended.] [You used a small strategy to delay for five years.] [In the thirty-third year, the Demon Saint retreated.] [In the same year, your cultivation level increased to the mid-stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] [With the support of high-grade Spiritual Liquid and the Zhengyi Submission Decision, your cultivation level advanced rapidly...] [In the forty-third year, your cultivation level advanced to the late stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] [A subordinate divine power foreign race deity descended to the Demon-Subduing Pass. With a single stroke of your sword imbued with Heavenly Sword Intent, you killed them...] [After killing this foreign race deity, you decided to leave the Blue Star and head to the Little Qingyun Realm.] [You made arrangements with your family and friends and crossed the Slaughter Battlefield alone...] [After passing through the alternate space, you arrived in the Qingyun Realm!] Su Xing looked at the words in front of him and nodded slightly. "Not bad, forty-three years to cultivate to the mid-stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm... This is equivalent to over a thousand years of hard cultivation for a Human Immortal Realm cultivator with Super Spiritual Root qualifications..." "Without the Zhengyi Submission Decision, I fear I couldn''t have even reached the late stage of the first layer of the Human Immortal Realm by now..." Su Xing enjoyed the benefits of the Zhengyi Submission Decision. With this secret technique, Su Xing could ensure an extremely fast cultivation speed in the Human Immortal Realm and even the Earth Immortal Realm. "It''s just a pity that the third layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision is too difficult... I can''t learn it in a short time!" sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Unless I trigger an epiphany again, only then could I bring about comprehension of the third layer..." Su Xing murmured. [Arriving in the familiar northern part of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, you headed towards White Emperor City.] [First, you went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, sold relevant information, and obtained a generous amount of Spirit Stones.] [Then, you delved into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, established a cave mansion near the Secret Realm of the Void, set up the Xuan Yuan Concealment Array, and began cultivating.] [After becoming an Immortal, the difficulty of cultivation increased by more than tenfold compared to before.] [At the late stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm, the amount of Spiritual Liquid required for cultivation was even more.] [You cultivated for an hour each day, consuming one hundred and thirty drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid... On festival dates, you needed over four thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid.] [Quickly, five years passed.] [In the fiftieth year, your cultivation level climbed to the peak of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] [You went into seclusion, seeking a breakthrough...] [Thus, two years passed.] [In the fifty-second year, you spent two hundred thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid but ultimately failed to break through.] [Regrettably, the quality of your Spiritual Root became a barrier to your cultivation progress.] [But you didn''t lose heart, only accumulated experience, solidified your foundation, and prepared for the next breakthrough attempt.] [Thus, three years passed.] [In the fifty-fifth year, your cultivation level successfully broke through, reaching the third layer of the Human Immortal Realm!] [At the same time, you noticed that the amount of Spiritual Liquid required for cultivation increased to over one hundred and fifty drops per hour.] [On festival dates, you could spend six thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid in a day, equivalent to a month''s worth of hard cultivation...] [Fortunately, with abundant cultivation resources, the tens of millions of drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid from the Luo Tian Legacy were enough to sustain your cultivation for a long time...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, making some calculations. "The first layer of the Human Immortal Realm requires one hundred thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid per year for cultivation... This is equivalent to about thirty years of cultivation for a regular Human Immortal Realm cultivator?" "The second layer of the Human Immortal Realm requires one hundred and fifty thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid per year, the third layer two hundred thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid..." "Calculating it this way, ten million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid are only enough for fifty years of cultivation in the third layer of the Human Immortal Realm, equivalent to over a thousand years for an ordinary cultivator..." Su Xing sighed slightly. Rapidly improving one''s cultivation level was indeed a game for a "spender". Wealthy cultivators could progress their cultivation much faster than regular cultivators! "However, fortunately, with all the Spiritual Liquid and Spirit Stones in my possession... Occasionally buying some Spiritual Liquid should be enough for a hundred years of cultivation..." Su Xing nodded slightly. It seemed that each simulation could improve three to four minor realms, just enough to break through from the early to the mid-stage, which wasn''t slow at all! He looked back at the simulation panel. [With the ample support of Spiritual Liquid, your cultivation level advanced rapidly.] [In the sixty-seventh year, your cultivation level advanced to the mid-stage of the third layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire [In the same year, you sensed fluctuations from the Void Secret Realm and headed there immediately.] [Meanwhile, numerous Earth Immortal Realm cultivators within a million miles sensed the birth of the Secret Realm and rushed over...] [Having learned from the previous experience, you were the first to arrive at the Secret Realm, passed through the Void Labyrinth smoothly, and saw the corpse of the Void Beast and four Space Spirit Stones.] [You quickly stored the corpse of the Void Beast along with the Space Spirit Stones into your storage ring, ready to leave the Secret Realm...] [Just as you left the Secret Realm, you saw over ten formidable auras heading towards you.] [Among them, the weakest was a late-stage Human Immortal Realm cultivator, and there were five with the cultivation level of the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm...] Chapter 287 Another Divine Body! Teasing Qing Yunzi? [8k]_4 [You frowned slightly, just about to leave, when you heard someone say, "That kid just came out of the secret realm, let''s not let him go!"][Focusing, you saw the speaker, a black-robed cultivator at the late Earth Immortal Realm. It was the very person with whom you had a grudge from a previous simulation.] [You frowned again, and soon several late Earth Immortal Realm cultivators vaguely surrounded you, saying, "Everyone gets a share of Heaven and Earth Treasures."] [If it was just one late Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, you naturally wouldn''t be afraid.] [But five late Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, with your current strength, would indeed be hard to contend with.] Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire [Moreover, the corpse of the Void Beast wasn''t your goal this time.] [Thus, gritting your teeth, you threw out the Void Beast''s corpse... then prepared to escape far away.] [Unexpectedly, that black-robed cultivator fixated on you, relentlessly pursuing you. He knew you might have a Space Spirit Stone on you and thought you, a Human Immortal Realm cultivator, were easy prey.] [He chased you alone for a thousand miles. You endured, showing weakness to mislead him.] [At a critical moment, you used the Unethical in Martial Conduct technique, combined with sixteen hundred Sword Qi Barriers... A rainbow of swords pierced the sun, seriously injuring him in one blow!] [Just as you were about to finish him off, he unexpectedly turned into a black light and escaped at a speed comparable to a Heavenly Immortal...] [You tried to pursue him for a while but could hardly catch up, so you had to give up...] [However, you still obtained four Space Spirit Stones, feeling satisfied, you continued to return to your cave to cultivate.] Su Xing saw this and rolled his eyes, muttering: "Alright, another cunning old fox!" "Inciting conflicts, stirring trouble... bullying with power, and running away when knowing they can''t win..." Su Xing felt somewhat helpless, as the majority of cultivators in the cultivation world were like this. Never mind that Earth Immortal Realm cultivators were considered unattainable in the eyes of low-rank cultivators. But when it came to their lives, they ran faster than anyone else... "Tsk tsk, an escape speed comparable to the Heavenly Immortal Realm... It''s a pity. If my proficiency in Sword Dao were higher, maybe my Sword Control Technique could reach such speeds too?" Su Xing stroked his chin, looking at the simulation panel. [In your spare time between cultivation, you went to White Emperor City and sold the information about the sneak attack on the Great Demon at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [Afterwards, you returned to the Spirit Field Cave and continued to cultivate...] [Another thirteen years passed like this.] [In the eightieth year, you successfully emerged from seclusion, having advanced to the late third layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] [Three years ago, you triggered the Great Talent Maturing Late, doubling your cultivation speed again!] [At this moment, you still had millions of drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid, and tens of millions of drops of low-grade Spiritual Liquid...] [To avoid being found early by the Descending Sect, you directly joined the military in Heavenly Demon City.] [As before, you rose to the position of Ten Thousand Commander due to your status as an eleventh-tier Great Grandmaster of formations.] [Every day, besides completing formation tasks, you had ample time to cultivate...] [Seven more years passed like this.] [In the eighty-seventh year, your cultivation level reached the peak of the third layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] [You attempted to break through from the early to the middle phase of the Human Immortal Realm...] [Unsurprisingly, you failed...] [After the failure, you summarized your experience and accumulated your foundation, silently awaiting the next breakthrough.] [In the ninety-fifth year, you attempted the breakthrough to the fourth layer of the Human Immortal Realm again.] [This time, you succeeded!] [Congratulations on becoming a mid-phase Human Immortal cultivator!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and let out a sigh of relief, but he also felt a headache. "Spiritual Root aptitude! In the end, it''s still not enough... If only I could draw a Golden Spiritual Root!" Su Xing realized that Divine Bodies and such didn''t significantly help with breaking through cultivation bottlenecks. At least not for Five Element Divine Bodies... Only with sufficient Spiritual Root aptitude could the path of cultivation be smooth... "Breaking through to the mid-phase of the fourth layer of the Human Immortal Realm in the ninety-fifth year, the following time should be enough to reach the later phase of the fourth layer, right?" Su Xing looked forward to it, glancing at the simulation panel. [After breaking through to the mid-phase of the Human Immortal Realm, you felt that the mana in your body was more than twice as thick as when you were in the first layer of the Human Immortal Realm!] [The stream of immortal power in your body was now as wide as thirty feet, comparable to the mana thickness of an ordinary late-phase or even peak Human Immortal!] [Despite the breakthrough in cultivation, you remained humble and calm, focusing on your cultivation.] [You knew that there were many traps waiting for you outside the city, and many foreign races and traitors wanted to assassinate you.] [So you stayed safely inside the city, feigning illness to avoid going out on missions, only cultivating and setting up formations within the city.] [For this reason, you were even demoted from a Ten Thousand Commander to a Chiliarch...] [But you didn''t regret it because staying alive was the real deal!] [Fifteen more years passed like this...] [In the one hundred and tenth year, your cultivation reached the middle phase of the fourth layer of the Human Immortal Realm.] [As your cultivation level increased, you felt that cultivation became increasingly difficult.] [Estimating that Qing Yunzi would find news of you in another ten years, you grasped the time to cultivate even more diligently...] [One day, you took the Spirit Awakening Pill, activated the Great Wisdom State, and prepared to comprehend the Body-Protecting Sword Aura...] Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the real world, Su Xing felt a stir in his heart, silently chanting: "Use Immersive Simulation..." [Ding...] The next moment, Su Xing''s vision changed, and he appeared in Heavenly Demon City. "Body-Protecting Sword Aura, I currently master sixteen hundred of them, but the destructive power is still limited... not enough to kill a late Earth Immortal Realm cultivator!" "If I could advance further, reaching the mastery of two thousand Body-Protecting Sword Auras, maybe I could fully possess the power to kill a late Earth Immortal Realm cultivator?" Chapter 287 Another Divine Body! Teasing Qing Yunzi? [8k]_5 Su Xing muttered to himself, then began to cultivate the Body-Protecting Sword Aura.As soon as he started cultivating, Su Xing''s eyes lit up. Because the effects of the Spirit Awakening Pill, Great Wisdom State, and Late Bloomer could actually stack! This meant that one month of Su Xing''s cultivation was equivalent to twenty years of hard work! Thus, one month passed quickly... The immersive simulation ended, Su Xing returned to reality, a satisfied look on his face. "Not bad! Equivalent to twenty years of hard work, my Body-Protecting Sword Aura has increased in quantity... reaching one thousand seven hundred and fifty strands!" "At this rate, after a few more sessions, the number of Body-Protecting Sword Aura strands will reach two thousand!" Su Xing was quite satisfied with this. But Su Xing also vaguely sensed that the upper limit of the Body-Protecting Sword Aura was approaching. If he wanted to comprehend more than two thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura, he might need to fully understand the Origin of Sword and grasp the prototype of the Great Sword Dao! He turned his gaze back to the simulation panel. [In the one hundred and twentieth year, you finally reached the late stage of the fourth level of the Human Immortal Realm!] [In a short span of a hundred years, you have progressed nearly four levels... surpassing a bottleneck, equivalent to the diligent cultivation of an ordinary cultivator of the Human Immortal Realm for over three thousand years!] [You are quite satisfied with this, so you quietly wait in the city, wanting to see if what Qing Yunzi seeks is indeed this ordinary Clear Heart Art...] [Some day, your talent for evading danger sounded a frantic warning.] [One day later, Qing Yunzi found you...] [A manifestation of a Heavenly Demon General appeared but was forced to abandon you due to Qing Yunzi''s threats involving Heavenly Demon City...] [You were captured by Qing Yunzi, and he intended to perform a soul search on you.] [You hurriedly offered to recite the full text of the Clear Heart Art...] [So, in front of Qing Yunzi, you began reciting the full text of the Clear Heart Art.] [However, just halfway through your recitation, Qing Yunzi interrupted...] [He said that you dared to make a fool of him, and then proceeded with the soul search...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned slightly. "Make a fool of him? How could that be..." "Could it be that the Clear Heart Art Qing Yunzi seeks is not this one?" Su Xing was quite certain that the Clear Heart Art he had was obtained from the Luo Tian Sect, and it was genuine. "Could it be... because my cultivation level is not high enough, I did not obtain the true Clear Heart Art?" Su Xing was somewhat puzzled. "Or perhaps, what Qing Yunzi sought was not the Clear Heart Art, but another secret technique?" After a long while, Su Xing sighed. "Sigh, it seems there''s no solution for now... What exactly is Qing Yunzi looking for?" Su Xing had no idea. "It seems, I still have to use the old method... avoid Qing Yunzi as much as possible!" "Going to a faraway Minor Thousand Worlds... is the best solution!" Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to the rewards from this simulation. [Water Spirit Divine Body]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 points of Origin Energy Source. [Human Immortal Realm Fourth Level Cultivation]: A cultivator at the fourth level of the Human Immortal Realm, priced at 30,000 points of Origin Energy Source. [Space Spirit Stone (4 pieces)]: Strange minerals born in the void, stabilizing space, can be used to craft magical treasures, priced at 20,000 points of Origin Energy Source. "In that case, I should first acquire the Space Spirit Stones... and then create Supreme Space Treasure, that way I can travel to Minor Thousand Worlds!" Thinking this, Su Xing muttered: "I choose the fourth level of Human Immortal Realm cultivation... and four pieces of Space Spirit Stone!" [You have successfully brought out the fourth level of Human Immortal Realm cultivation, which cost 30,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving 115,832 points remaining...] [You have successfully brought out four pieces of Space Spirit Stone, which cost 20,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving 95,832 points remaining...] As the simulation notification sound finished, a mysterious energy flowed into Su Xing''s body. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing''s entire aura surged in a short amount of time. Human Immortal Realm second level... Human Immortal Realm third level... Human Immortal Realm fourth level! Even upon stepping into the Immortal Realm, Su Xing''s cultivation speed did not slow down. This was the importance of laying a solid foundation! He had progressed from the initial stage of the Human Immortal Realm to the mid-stage, And then taken a big step forward, reaching the late stage of the fourth level of the Human Immortal Realm! Su Xing slightly closed his eyes, feeling the three-zhang wide stream of immortal power within his body, which had vaguely taken the shape of a small river. "Not bad... with increased mana, the power of Qi Refinement and Divine Arts will also be further enhanced!" Su Xing estimated that with the current power of his Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique, it might not be much different from the one thousand eight hundred strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura! At the same time, four fist-sized, ice-like but starlit stones appeared in front of Su Xing. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Space Spirit Stones! "Great... with these Space Spirit Stones, I can craft a Supreme Space Treasure of half-step Acquired Treasures grade!" "In the simulation, I can travel to farther worlds... perhaps even in reality, I can directly go to the Three Thousand Worlds?" Su Xing felt a bit of anticipation in his heart. Chapter 288 Abyss Journey, Supreme Treasure Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat! 【8k】 After his cultivation realm rose, Su Xing did not become complacent.He glanced at the time; the trade with Lu Yuanwu was approaching. So, Su Xing disguised himself and concealed his aura before heading to the agreed location for the trade. With one trade, another 20,000 origin energy sources were in hand. After the trade ended, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave. This week, Su Xing did not choose to craft puppets or refine elixirs. For low-rank elixirs like the Nourishing Face Pill and Fasting Pill, a puppet handled the alchemy. The spirit plants in the Spirit Field were also tended to by a nurturing puppet. And Su Xing''s thirty miner puppets could steadily provide alien metal energy each week. After almost two years of busy work, Su Xing suddenly felt idle. "Tsk tsk, truly a fleeting moment of leisure..." Su Xing leisurely strolled around the campus for a while, then returned to the Spirit Field Cave and began to peruse some ancient books from the cultivation world he had previously obtained. To broaden his knowledge and increase his understanding of the cultivation world. Thus, as the sun rose and set, a day passed. On August 20, Su Xing felt too bored to sit still and suddenly had an idea. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire "Why not... explore other countries?" Su Xing stroked his chin. Previously, in simulations, he had visited the Endless Abyss dungeon located in America. Based on Su Xing''s experience, as long as he didn''t venture too deep into the abyss, there was no risk for him. "Then, let''s explore America..." Su Xing estimated the time; America was less than 100,000 miles away from Great Xia Country. At Su Xing''s sword flight speed, he could arrive within an hour. So, Su Xing began to disguise himself and conceal his aura, making his appearance and equipment resemble American profession users, then used his sword flight to head for America. To the east of Great Xia Country, crossing thousands of miles of ocean, one could see Huangdao Country. Continuing further east, crossing about 70,000 to 80,000 miles of ocean, Su Xing reached America. With a casual motion, he cast a formation on himself for shielding perception and sight, and walked through the streets of America as if no one else was there. His divine sense spread out like a tide, quickly covering most of America. The profession users here were quite different from those in Great Xia Country. And the dungeon types leaned more towards Western mythology, like vampires, cowboys, demons, and the like. The power system resembled that of foreign races'' divine senses. There were power-type profession users who could transform into a large green brute, with anger determining their strength limit, but ultimately it was finite. There were also profession users who could summon battle armor, but they were not omnipotent either. Su Xing wandered around America for two days, seeing many unique dungeon artifacts and items. For instance, a type of holy water that could deal massive damage to evil dungeon bosses... But Su Xing was a bit disappointed that, except for Abyss Stones, there were no special artifacts containing a large amount of energy. And Abyss Stones had their market price increased significantly due to recent purchases by Great Xia''s officials. Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing estimated it would take some time for the price of Abyss Stones to stabilize. "Tsk tsk... But overall, there are quite a number of white and green equipment here; the number of low-rank profession users is relatively high!" "Perhaps, I could leave a few puppets here to trade some items and equipment, and I could come periodically to harvest?" Su Xing stroked his chin. Currently, although he was not short of energy, after reaching the Earth Immortal Realm and Heavenly Immortal Realm, the weekly energy gathered within Great Xia Country might not suffice for Su Xing''s simulation needs. But on Blue Star, Great Xia Country was not the only nation! Among the Seven Countries and Twelve Domains, although Great Xia Country was the strongest, the other six countries were not weak either. The neutral regions within the Twelve Domains could potentially provide Su Xing with several times the energy of Great Xia Country! "Hmm, but since I am in Great Xia Country... dealing with the associations here must be done cautiously!" Su Xing thought it over and summoned the puppet Xiaomei from the Spirit Field Cave. After several months, Xiaomei had already attained peak Golden Core strength. Practicing daily within the cave, continuously consuming elixirs, and Su Xing even luxuriously used some low-grade spiritual liquid to aid her cultivation. Coupled with the effects of a seventh-rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array, she had a cultivation speed surpassing Heavenly Spirit Roots. Thus, Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei''s cultivation speed rivalled that of core disciples in the sects of the Great Thousand Worlds. "Hmm, compared to other puppets, Puppet Cultivator already showed initial signs of intelligence, capable of executing more complex commands... and as for strength..." "At peak Golden Core, nearly approaching Heavenly King Level strength. Paired with a few life-saving talismans and high-rank magical treasures, she shouldn''t face any threats in America..." Su Xing murmured. The number of Heavenly Kings and Martial Emperors among American profession users was even less than that in Great Xia Country. However, the number of low-rank profession users was higher. "During this period, you''ll stay in America... I''ll give you some goods, and you can liaise with American associations. Just be smart about it; you can even start a small association and hire some American profession users..." "Also, remember to disguise yourself, to resemble American profession users..." Su Xing gave a few instructions, then took out a few storage rings filled with goods and low-rank resources for cultivators, handing them to Xiaomei to sell. Since the Descending Sect had less influence in America, Su Xing was not worried about being discovered. Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei obediently nodded, saying: "Yes, Master..." Su Xing thought for a moment, still feeling a bit uneasy. Thus, he utilized his talent "Gift of Roses" and bestowed Xiaomei with the green talents "Good Fortune" and "Business Elite." Chapter 288 Abyss Journey, Supreme Treasure Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat! [8k] _2 Su Xing vaguely felt subtle changes on Xiao Mei, the line of cause and effect between them increased.With these two talents, running a business association in America wouldn''t be too difficult for Xiao Mei. After finishing everything, Su Xing let Xiao Mei act freely, while he headed to the entrance of the Endless Abyss dungeon. ... Passing through an underground cave, Su Xing clearly felt waves of spatial fluctuations. Su Xing successfully entered the first layer of the Endless Abyss. After entering the Endless Abyss, Su Xing observed the surrounding environment. The sky was blood-red without any light source, and there seemed to be an invisible barrier overhead. The soil beneath his feet was also red, as if soaked in blood. To prevent unexpected incidents, Su Xing didn''t use his divine sense on a large scale, keeping it within a ten-mile radius. In Su Xing''s perception, the first layer had quite a few profession users, all American "warriors," battling against abyssal monsters. The monsters on the first layer, being the foreign race, weren''t very strong, only at the silver and gold levels. However, there was a certain probability that killing them would drop Abyss Stones. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Along the way, Su Xing casually killed about a hundred monsters, collecting over a hundred Abyss Stones. The Lucky Star talent made Su Xing''s drop rate nearly one hundred percent. A hundred of these low-level Abyss Stones provided Su Xing with about one million simulated energy, equivalent to one point of origin energy source. Su Xing didn''t linger on the first layer but proceeded to the second layer. On the second layer, the number of profession users was significantly less, but the number of monsters hadn''t decreased. Su Xing casually killed around a hundred monsters, obtaining a hundred Abyss Stones, and tried to exchange them for origin energy. "Hmm? The Abyss Stones on the second layer... seem to be of higher quality!" Su Xing raised an eyebrow. The hundred Abyss Stones on the second layer provided him with two points of origin energy. Interested, Su Xing continued downwards. The third layer, a hundred Abyss Stones, provided five points of origin energy... The fifth layer, a hundred Abyss Stones, provided ten points of origin energy. The tenth layer, a hundred Abyss Stones, provided thirty points of origin energy. The twentieth layer, a hundred Abyss Stones, provided a hundred points of origin energy! Around the twentieth layer, the lowest level monsters encountered were grandmaster level. Most were at the Heavenly King and Martial Emperor levels, and there were lots of them! Su Xing even saw monsters near the Legendary level! By this layer, profession users were extremely rare. Only elite Heavenly King level profession user teams could grind here occasionally. "This layer... the rate of obtaining Abyss Stones seems quite good!" Su Xing muttered to himself. The twentieth layer of the Abyss wasn''t as vast as the first layer, but it was still large. However, each monster was distantly spaced, so Su Xing had to spend some time finding one. In about an hour, Su Xing could kill over a hundred abyssal monsters, collecting a hundred Abyss Stones and earning a hundred points of origin energy. This amounted to one billion simulated energy points! "This layer has about several thousand monsters... and they seem to respawn periodically, maintaining a constant total number?" Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing became more interested. In the following three days, he spent all his time "grinding monsters" on the twentieth layer of the Endless Abyss! In three days, Su Xing collected nearly five thousand points of origin energy! For Su Xing, this was a considerable extra income... "Tsk tsk... When I have time, I can frequently visit here or explore deeper layers to grind monsters..." Su Xing muttered. In his previous simulations, he had once explored the hundredth layer of the Endless Abyss. The monsters there were at the Saint level! However, there were too few... the efficiency of grinding Abyss Stones might be less than that of the twenty to thirty layers. "Hmm, after finishing this last wave, I''ll head back..." Su Xing muttered, then controlled his Sword Qi. A streak of sword light could often penetrate through several monsters within a ten-mile radius, and Su Xing only needed to pick up the Abyss Stones. ... After Su Xing left the Endless Abyss, a team of blond, blue-eyed profession users entered the twentieth layer of the Endless Abyss. This was a standard Heavenly King level team! A team of five, composed of a Priest, warrior, mage, etc., working in coordination. They were also one of the top three profession user teams in America... "Kael! Kael! Everyone be careful... in the twentieth layer of the Abyss, a lot of Heavenly King-level monsters will appear!" The leader of this blond team spoke in American. "Shit! Why are we coming to the twentieth layer... weren''t we safe around the fifteenth layer?" a voluptuous lady complained. "There''s an old saying in Great Xia Country, ''Seek wealth in danger''... Now Great Xia Country is heavily purchasing high-quality Abyss Stones from us, and their prices are skyrocketing!" "Once we finish this job, we can upgrade our equipment and prepare to advance to Martial Emperor level!" A profession user of African descent said. "Be careful, everyone... stay together and explore around..." This profession user team cautiously explored for half a day, finding no trace of any monsters. "Strange... where are the monsters on this layer? Could they have been cleared out by other profession users!?" "Fool! How is that possible? There are hundreds of monsters on this layer... not even just a profession user team, but even our strongest warrior in America, War God Ares, an Emperor level profession user, couldn''t manage that!" "Damn! Something must have gone wrong here... retreat quickly and report this!" This profession user team hurriedly retreated to the upper layers. Chapter 288 Abyss Journey, Supreme Treasure Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat! 【8k】_3 ...Su Xing did not know about this small episode, riding his sword back to the Great Xia Country. For the next two days, Su Xing was not idle either. After crafting some talismans, Su Xing went to the Immortal Martial Era Instance, extracted the raw alien metal, then headed to the villa. Jin Congxue was not at home this week; he should be handling Tarot Society-related business. Su Xing put down the elixirs and raw alien metal and collected the new week''s output from the Tarot Society. Thus, he gained an additional twenty-six thousand origin energy points. ... Returning to the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing glanced at his remaining origin energy. 146,332 points! "Not bad... This origin energy should be enough to extract a half-step post-celestial supreme treasure, right?" Su Xing''s heart burned with excitement. Thinking about being able to wield a spiritual treasure to travel to the target world made it hard for Su Xing not to be moved. On August 26, 2025, New Era, Su Xing started a new round of simulations. "Begin simulation!" [The 101st simulation starts, current remaining origin energy is 146,332 points... remaining simulation attempts are zero.] [Simulation starts!] [Drawing golden legendary talent costs 1 origin energy point, do you wish to draw?] "Yes!" Su Xing silently thought. [Ding, congratulations! You''ve obtained purple talent Super Smell, next simulation draw probability for golden talent is 70%...] [Super Smell]: Purple talent, your sense of smell surpasses ordinary people, capable of identifying enemy positions through scent and tracking them, as well as discerning material components... "Hmm? This talent..." Su Xing touched his chin, thinking it was a fairly decent purple talent. Unfortunately, it came a bit late. Currently, with enough divine sense and mastery of tracking techniques, Super Smell felt somewhat redundant. "Well, let''s officially start the simulation!" Su Xing''s heart stirred as he looked at the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating.] [You took out the materials obtained earlier, aiming to craft more puppets.] [This time, your goal was to expand the numbers in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion tenfold! Craft a hundred puppets and send them to various countries on the Blue Star for trade.] [In this way, you could earn more simulated energy.] [The creation of puppets not only related to the puppet master''s strength but also the importance of the materials themselves.] [However, the materials in your hand were insufficient for crafting high-tier puppets.] [Using fourth-rank alien metal ores could only create puppets comparable to the Heavenly King level at most.] [First, you went to the Luo Tian Instance and learned the blueprints for several battle puppets...] [In the following year, besides cultivating, you dedicated yourself to crafting combat puppets daily.] [Trading in other countries inevitably came with some dangers; thus, the combat capabilities of the puppets became crucial.] [In the second year, you spent a year successfully crafting fifty battle puppets comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage.] [You powered them up and equipped them with sufficient talismans for protection, five puppets per group, carrying enough Nourishing Face Pills, Lifespan Extension Pills, low-tier talismans, elixirs, and equipment rivaling legendary weapons...] [Another year quickly passed.] [In the third year, you attempted to retrieve the items traded by these puppets.] [You discovered that the attrition rate of the fifty puppets exceeded thirty percent... nearly twenty puppets were destroyed in battle.] [Despite this, you gained sufficient goods...] [In a year''s time, these puppets brought you hundreds of thousands of tons of various ranks of alien metals, countless numbers of white equipment and instance dungeon items, and millions of Abyss Stones.] [You couldn''t estimate the specific value of these goods, but it should be no less than hundreds of thousands of origin energy!] [This showed you the blue ocean of international trade! The seven countries and twelve domains all became your essential energy sources...] [However, you also noticed an issue: the puppets'' strength was insufficient and easily damaged.] [Thus, you went to the Spiritual Ancestral Land and retrieved the Luo Tian Legacy from it.] [The legacy''s treasure trove contained various puppets, ranging from Divinity Transformation to Transcendence Tribulation Stage, capable of executing complex commands.] [Their strength was sufficient, but the majority of the puppets were already damaged, requiring time for repairs.] In the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this. "Indeed, on the Blue Star, the materials for crafting puppets are limited... Most come from those few relics!" sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If I obtain the puppets and other legacies from the Spiritual Ancestral Land, even if they need repairs, it''d be much faster than crafting them directly!" Su Xing stroked his chin. This week''s trip to America made Su Xing realize that he needed to hasten establishing energy acquisition channels in other countries, ensuring future development. "The next meeting with Luo Shuying should be around the 8th... I can discuss it then!" Su Xing murmured. He hadn''t seen Luo Shuying for several months. But according to their previous agreement, she would wait for half a day at the predetermined location every month on the 8th. If Su Xing didn''t show, she would leave immediately. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire "Hmm, I should visit the Spiritual Ancestral Land soon..." His gaze returned to the simulation panel. [Repairing the Spiritual Race''s puppets wasn''t difficult; alongside cultivating, you spent several months to repair all the puppets.] [You still organized the puppets into five-member teams; a larger group would be too noticeable.] [For the time being, you stayed on the Blue Star for stable cultivation.] [During the long cultivation, fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye...] [In the seventeenth year of the simulation, your cultivation level reached the peak of the fourth level of the Human Immortal Realm.] [Immediately, you began accumulating your foundation, preparing to break through to the fifth level of the Human Immortal Realm!] Chapter 288 Abyss Journey, Supreme Treasure Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat!【8k】_4 [20th Year of the Simulation, you successfully broke through.][Congratulations on becoming a Human Immortal Fifth Layer cultivator!] [In the same year, you went to the Beast Taming Realm...] [Over the past twenty years, you also observed the puppet trading situations in various countries.] [You found that in orderly countries like America and Huangdao Country, the probability of puppets being damaged was relatively low, but you needed to be cautious of potential investigations by the Descending Sect.] [Fortunately, you had Luo Shuying as an inside agent. She informed you that the Descending Sect was investigating the mastermind behind the puppets but had not taken any rash actions.] [Luo Shuying proactively proposed that she become the chief commander of the investigation into the puppet organization "Heavenly Secret Pavilion," which naturally yielded no progress for the Descending Sect.] [The Twelve Domains, however, were relatively chaotic, composed of various small countries and organizations, filled with profession user guilds and bloody violence, areas where law was hard to enforce.] [Though there were some risks with puppets in these areas, you could actually obtain more valuable materials from the black market, including high-grade Abyss Stones and large amounts of alien metals...] Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this point. "The Twelve Domains... truly a chaotic place!" Su Xing murmured to himself. In a world of superhumans, even with modern technology, it was still filled with violence, slaughter, and bloody crime. These profession users often had very formidable strengths but were like "evil cultivators," expelled by the Seven Nations and concentrated within the Twelve Domains. In terms of the number of mid-level profession users, from the Master to the Heavenly King Level, the Twelve Domains even surpassed the combined total of the Seven Nations! Before the apocalypse, these profession users were also forcibly conscripted to defend the Demon-Subduing Pass against the foreign races, contributing some strength. "When I have time, I should personally visit the Twelve Domains..." Su Xing murmured, as he had never been to these chaotic areas before but had heard many rumors about them. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. For instance, a Martial Emperor Level or even Legendary Level profession user, after committing heinous crimes, hid in the chaotic Twelve Domains and established his own business empire... After some thought, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [Time flew by silently in cultivation, another eight years passed...] [28th Year, the Double-pupil Demon Saint descended, and began his procrastination tactics...] [33rd Year, the Double-pupil Demon Saint retreated, and you no longer planned to stay on the Blue Star but prepared to head to the Three Thousand Worlds!] [Crossing the alternate space, you reached the Little Qingyun Realm.] [The first thing you did was head towards White Emperor City.] [In White Emperor City''s Heavenly Secret Pavilion, you sold the intelligence you had previously gathered.] [After that, you took a flying boat to Little Qingyun City...] [You contacted True Immortal Danhuo, revealing your identity.] [True Immortal Danhuo showed great respect towards you and informed you that he would head to the Qingyun Realm in four years.] [You naturally agreed, thus staying in Little Qingyun City to cultivate.] [While you knew that heading to the Qingyun Sect would surely be noticed by Qing Yunzi in advance, the Supreme Acquired Treasure you intended to refine could only be created within the Qingyun Sect.] [You settled in Little Qingyun City, peacefully cultivating.] [35th Year, your cultivation level advanced to the mid-stage of Human Immortal Fifth Layer...] [37th Year, you and True Immortal Danhuo headed to the Qingyun Realm.] [Upon arriving at the Qingyun Sect, you were awestruck by the grandeur of its mountain gate.] [You were given your own cave dwelling, at the Cave Heaven Level.] [Several senior brothers and sisters gave you many treasures.] [You obtained the contact information for Immortal Ziling and earned a large amount of sect contributions by selling Gathering Spirit Flowers, totaling ten million points.] [With those sect contributions, you began purchasing various materials needed for refining within the sect.] [Merely purchasing and gathering these precious materials took you thirteen years!] [50th Year, your cultivation level advanced to the late stage of Human Immortal Fifth Layer.] [In the same year, you found a great Grandmaster of artifact refining within the sect, a Profound Immortal Realm Elder, spending a million contribution points to have him craft a flying boat capable of traversing worlds and crossing the void...] [You specifically offered four Space Spirit Stones, hoping he could create a Magical Treasure at the half-step Supreme Acquired Treasure level!] [The refining process took three years...] [53rd Year, one day above the artifact refining peak, a small Heavenly Tribulation gathered...] [This wasn''t a tribulation for a cultivator but an artifact tribulation!] [Only treasures at the Supreme Acquired Treasure level or above had the possibility of triggering an artifact tribulation.] [Judging by the scale of the tribulation, the Elder of the artifact refining peak had successfully crafted a half-step Supreme Acquired Treasure level item!] [Elated, you hurried to the artifact refining peak.] [Sure enough, in the artifact refining room, you saw a three-zhang-long, entirely golden, wondrous flying boat.] [This boat could be large or small, extending up to a hundred zhang, or shrinking to just an inch.] [Compared to before, this time''s half-step Supreme Acquired Treasure level flying boat was more exquisite in design, with a more solid hull...] [Additionally, it possessed the function you valued moststable, long-distance traversal of Minor Thousand Worlds!] Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire [Supreme Immortal Treasure level items could only traverse nearby Minor Thousand Worlds, unable to travel long distances.] [But a half-step Supreme Acquired Treasure, even when crossing three to five Minor Thousand Worlds in one go, would remain stable and undamaged...] [As for achieving true long-distance traversal, crossing ten or even dozens of Minor Thousand Worlds in one go, only a true Supreme Acquired Treasure could accomplish that.] [Even so, you were very satisfied, with this flying boat, you could attempt to traverse worlds on your own. Whether for fleeing or exploring other worlds, your methods would be greatly enhanced!] [You named this flying boat the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, as its appearance and name were very fitting.] Chapter 288 Abyss Journey, Supreme Treasure Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat! 【8k】_5 [After obtaining the flying boat, you did not use it immediately, instead, you carefully put it away.][Later, you contacted Immortal Ziling, hoping she would take you to the Little Qingyun Realm.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "Indeed, I can''t use the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat this time... After all, if the boat gets damaged, I''ll have only a broken flying boat when I come out." "And with my artifact refining skills, it''s obvious I can''t repair it..." "For now, I''ll wait and take the intact flying boat out. Then, even if it gets damaged in subsequent simulations, I won''t feel bad..." Su Xing understood the intricacies involved, so he was not in a rush. "As for which realm Immortal Ziling takes me to, it makes no difference... With Qing Yunzi''s strength, I estimate it''ll only take twenty or thirty years for him to find me, right?" Su Xing sighed and intended to break through his cultivation in the remaining time. [After leaving the Qingyun Sect, you returned to the Little Qingyun Realm for cultivation.] [Quickly, another seven years passed.] [In the sixtieth year, your cultivation level rose to the peak of the fifth stage of the Human Immortal Realm.] [In the same year, you sold information about a Heavenly Immortal Realm great demon...] [Later, you went to the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and established a cave dwelling, cultivating in seclusion every day.] [In the sixty-fifth year, after much preparation, you successfully broke through to the sixth stage of the Human Immortal Realm!] [In the eightieth year, your cultivation level rose to the mid-stage of the sixth stage of the Human Immortal Realm.] [With the Great Talent Maturing Late, your cultivation speed was astonishing...] [However, you also felt vaguely worried in your heart that Qing Yunzi could come looking for you at any time, so you had to cultivate quickly!] Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire [One day, you took a Spirit Awakening Pill and prepared to comprehend the Body-Protecting Sword Aura.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and felt a stir in his heart, silently reciting: "Use immersive..." [Ding...] Su Xing''s consciousness appeared in the secluded cave dwelling. Not wasting any time, Su Xing began to cultivate the Body-Protecting Sword Aura. Due to the presence of the Great Talent Maturing Late, if he used the immersive simulation after seventy-seven years, he would achieve twice the result with half the effort! ... Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality. Feeling the progress in his Body-Protecting Sword Aura, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, the total amount of Body-Protecting Sword Aura has reached 1,900 strands, and its power has increased by a small margin..." "It looks like the total number of Body-Protecting Sword Aura strands will be around 2,000 before I comprehend the Great Sword Dao..." Su Xing planned to first elevate the Body-Protecting Sword Aura to its current limit before attempting to comprehend the Great Sword Dao. He looked at the simulation panel. [After making progress with the Body-Protecting Sword Aura, you did not choose to stay in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.] [Not knowing when Qing Yunzi would return, you decided to go to Heavenly Demon City, where you hoped to buy some time.] [In the same year, you traveled to Heavenly Demon City by airship, where you disguised yourself as a Ten Thousand Commander, concealing your heavenly secrets in hopes of delaying Qing Yunzi from finding you.] [In this way, ten years passed.] [In the ninetieth year, your cultivation level rose to the peak of the sixth stage of the Human Immortal Realm!] S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [One day, the Auspicious Omen talent warned you of impending danger.] [The next day, Qing Yunzi appeared...] [After negotiations between you in the guise of a Heavenly Demon General and Qing Yunzi, you were abandoned...] [No matter how much you tried to explain to Qing Yunzi, he didn''t believe you...] [You were subjected to a Soul Search...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing shook his head slightly. "What a pity, my cultivation only reached the late sixth stage of the Human Immortal Realm..." "Did Qing Yunzi find me in the ninetieth year of the simulation?" Su Xing murmured. This was slightly later than he had anticipated. It seemed that the Heavenly Secret Concealment Technique and the Xuan Yuan Concealment Array had been somewhat effective. "Let''s see the rewards for this simulation!" Su Xing rubbed his hands in excitement, eager to obtain that Supreme Treasure of space! He looked at the list of simulation rewards. [Super Smell]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 Origin Energy Source point. [Cultivation Level at the sixth stage of the Human Immortal Realm]: As a cultivator at the sixth stage of the Human Immortal Realm, having reached the peak of the sixth stage, priced at 20,000 Origin Energy Source points. [Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat]: A high-end flying boat crafted by a Great Grandmaster of artifact refining, capable of mid-range world traversal, equipped with all necessary living facilities, with a sturdy body reaching the level of a half-step Acquired Treasure. Priced at 80,000 Origin Energy Source points. [Fifty Nascent Soul Realm combat puppets]: Priced at 500 Origin Energy Source points. "A half-step Acquired Treasure, priced at 80,000 Origin Energy Source points? That''s still acceptable..." Su Xing gritted his teeth and silently recited: "I choose the cultivation level at the sixth stage of the Human Immortal Realm, and the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat!" [You have successfully brought out the cultivation level at the sixth stage of the Human Immortal Realm, costing 20,000 Origin Energy Source points, with 126,299 Origin Energy Source points remaining...] [You have successfully brought out the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, costing 80,000 Origin Energy Source points, with 46,299 Origin Energy Source points remaining...] Chapter 289 Golden Talent, Alchemy Grandmaster, Arrives at Yellow Sand Realm [8k] The immersive simulation prompt fell silent, and a mysterious energy surged into Su Xing''s body.The momentum of Su Xing''s cultivation level began to climb continuously. In just a few breaths, it skyrocketed from the fourth layer of the Human Immortal Realm to the peak of the sixth layer. Only one step away from becoming a late-stage Human Immortal cultivator! "What a pity... just a little bit more. But I should be able to smoothly break through to the Great Perfection of the Human Immortal Realm next simulation!" A trace of confidence flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. Next time during the simulation, he wouldn''t need to look for Qing Yunzi, and he could simulate for at least one hundred twenty years. Moreover, with the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, he could attempt to travel to other worlds, maybe even simulate longer. And each additional year of simulation, under the blessing of being a late bloomer, would be doubled! "Why does it feel like, after reaching the Human Immortal Realm, the progress of cultivation... is much faster than during the Transcendance Tribulation Stage?" Su Xing''s lips curled slightly. The faster the cultivation increased, the more advantageous it was for him! Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire All he needed to worry about was acquiring simulated energy. Su Xing spent some time adapting to the increased cultivation level. At this moment, the mana within his body had increased by more than fifty percent compared to a week ago. "Oh right, there''s still the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat!" Su Xing hurriedly looked down at the one-inch-long small boat under his feet, which appeared like an exquisite model. Su Xing took a few steps back, his heart stirred, and he injected a stream of immortal power into the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As the immortal power was injected, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat shone with dazzling golden light. The one-inch-long small boat model instantly turned into a three-zhang-long, one-zhang-wide small boat, enough to accommodate several people. If Su Xing wished, he could even make this boat turn into a hundred-zhang-long, thirty-zhang-wide large ship! A little cramped, but enough to hold over a thousand people... "Tsk tsk, with this Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat... even if Blue Star is destroyed immediately, I can take my friends and family and escape!" Su Xing''s heart was somewhat excited. With his previous abilities, he could have left alone, escaping to the Little Qingyun Realm. But those he cared about, Jin Congxue, Luo Shuying, Wang Qingxuan, Yu Yan... or even his family, all could not follow him. But things were different now; with this Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Su Xing could completely take a group of people and escape first. "If it really comes to that desperate point... I can only abandon Blue Star and take some people to escape first..." Su Xing murmured. He was very open-minded. Su Xing didn''t necessarily have to be the hero who saves everyone. As long as his family and friends were safe, that was enough... He could even take over a thousand Blue Star people on the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat before Blue Star''s destruction, escaping to the Little Qingyun Realm, which could be considered a good deed. At least ensure that the Blue Star people wouldn''t be extinct... Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn''t wait to test the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat. Entering the small boat, a glass-like cover appeared on the originally semi-open, roofless small boat. From inside the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, he could see outside, but from outside, one couldn''t see the interior. Different from what Su Xing imagined, this Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat even had a bit of a high-tech feel. There were many formation switches on its control panel. For example, high-altitude flight, world traversal... or full-speed flight, defensive array buttons... Invisibility formation, Breath Concealing Formation, Spirit Gathering Array, Space Formation... it had everything! It could even release art and technique attacks, powerful enough to slay an Immortal! Of course, all this required spiritual energy or immortal qi as support! It could use a large number of spirit stones as power, or Su Xing could input immortal power to operate it; very user-friendly. "Tsk tsk... as expected of an immortal family''s magical treasure! This Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat is absolutely essential for killing and robbing, and escaping!" Su Xing was very satisfied with the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat. Unfortunately, on Blue Star, there was temporarily no opportunity for Su Xing to use it. Later, Su Xing might try an immersive simulation... "It''s about time to find Lu Yuanwu!" Su Xing murmured. Then he disguised himself and concealed his breath, going to trade, which got him twenty thousand points of origin energy source. This week, Su Xing also went sword flighting to America. On one hand, to see if Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei had any problems. But found that she was doing well, disguised as a blonde, blue-eyed beauty, not only selling many goods but also recruiting some followers. After confirming there were no issues in America, Su Xing went to the Abyss dungeon. This week, Su Xing moved back and forth between the twentieth and thirtieth levels of the Abyss, killing magical creatures. In six days, the collected Abyss Stones were worth ten thousand points of origin energy source! On September 2nd, Su Xing went to the Xianwu dungeon and brought out the alien metal ore. ... On September 2, 2025, in a villa in Kyoto. Su Xing looked at Jin Congxue in front of him, wearing a black dress with light makeup, exuding a bit of queenly aura. "Ah Xing, this week''s goods and alien metals..." Jin Congxue handed over two storage rings, which Su Xing took with an outstretched hand. Su Xing chuckled, just as usual, handing over the elixirs and alien metal ore. Seeing Jin Congxue''s hesitation, Su Xing wondered: "Sister Xue, you look a bit down. Is there something troubling you?" Jin Congxue''s face turned red as she said shyly: "Someone promised to take me to see a movie last time... it''s almost been a month, and there''s still no sign of it!" Su Xing was taken aback by her words, then nodded and said: "Oh! You want me to take you to a movie, just say it earlier!" Su Xing had been quite free recently; with various puppets doing the work, he had at least a day off each week. Seeing Su Xing''s indifferent attitude, Jin Congxue immediately became unhappy, humming: Chapter 289 Golden Talent, Alchemy Grandmaster, Arrives at Yellow Sand Realm [8k]_2 "Shouldn''t you be inviting me? Now I''ve said it... it seems like I''m inviting you!"Seeing Jin Congxue getting genuinely upset, Su Xing was taken aback for a moment and quickly said: "Let''s go see the movie now!" "I''m buying the tickets right away..." Jin Congxue''s eyes brightened at that, and the two prepared to head into the city to find a theater to watch the latest movie. Before leaving, Su Xing mused: "Ah, women... definitely obstacles on my path of cultivation..." With Su Xing''s way of thinking, it was highly unlikely he would ever comprehend Jin Congxue''s subtle hints... ... After watching the movie, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave. Just then, the simulator had finished its cooldown, and Su Xing prepared to start a new week''s simulation. "Begin simulation!" [The 102nd simulation is starting. Currently, there are 103,199 Origin Energy Points remaining... No remaining simulation attempts.] [Simulation beginning!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 Origin Energy Point; proceed with extraction?] "Yes!" Su Xing silently vowed. [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the Golden Talent Alchemy Sage. The probability of extracting a Golden Talent in the next simulation is 60%...] [Alchemy Sage]: Golden Talent, your alchemy skills are astonishing, with the potential to become a Great Master of Alchemy, capable of creating elixirs with spirituality... Upon seeing the newly acquired talent, Su Xing was initially a bit disappointed. Gold-quality Spiritual Root, despite so much time, still had not been drawn... But upon clearer inspection of the new talent, Su Xing''s eyes brightened again. "Alchemy Sage... this seems to be an upgraded version of the Purple Alchemy Talent!" "Elixirs with spirituality mean..." Experience new stories with My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing rubbed his chin; he had heard that those who reached the pinnacle of the Alchemy Dao could create elixirs that developed consciousness. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Such elixirs could even attain immortality! For example, the Dragon and Tiger Pill, originally a high-level elixir to increase a cultivator''s power of dragon and tiger. But in the hands of an alchemy expert, the Dragon and Tiger Pill could even transform into a real dragon and tiger, possessing battle power comparable to an immortal! "However... this alchemy talent comes at the perfect time!" "For the second level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Technique, the Earth Origin Pill is required, which I still need to personally refine... This alchemy talent is just in time!" Su Xing muttered to himself, turning his gaze to the Simulation Panel. This time''s goal, Great Perfection of the Human Immortal Realm! [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized that you are in a simulation.] [A few days later, you went to find Luo Shuying.] [You obtained a token to the Spiritual Ancestral Land and headed to the Spirit Realm.] [You successfully acquired the heritage left by the Luo Tian Sect...] [Half a month later, you entered the Luo Tian Instance and studied the Dao of Puppets...] [For the next year, aside from cultivating, you repaired puppets daily.] [You sent the repaired puppets to various countries on the Blue Star, establishing forces in various regions, further expanding the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [A year quickly passed.] [In the second year, you sensed that you were about to break through to the late stage of the Human Immortal Realm.] [To do so, you visited the ruins of the Wan Mu Sect.] [After reinforcing the Xuan Yuan Concealment Array, you set up a prohibition to shield the heavenly secrets, then placed the Spirit Vein Dragon into the Spirit Field Cave...] [Just as you expected, the Damned Dragon did not sense the presence of the Spirit Vein Dragon.] [Even though they were both from the Dragon Clan, under the dual protection of the formation and the Heavenly Secrets Shielding Technique, even a Profound Immortal would find it challenging to detect, let alone a mere Broken Void Realm hybrid dragon.] [You placed the Spirit Vein Dragon in the Spirit Field Cave, taking good care of it, quickly earning its affection.] [Another year passed.] [In the third year, you started preparing to break through to the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm!] [This secluded cultivation lasted a full year...] [When you were about to fail your breakthrough, the Spirit Vein Dragon exhaled a breath of pure immortal qi, helping you successfully advance to the late stage of the Human Immortal Realm!] [Congratulations, you have broken through to the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm!] Su Xing''s eyes brightened as he read this, nodding slightly: "Nice, the Spirit Vein Dragon is indeed due to be released..." "With the aid of the formation, the Damned Dragon won''t sense it... As long as the Spirit Dragon is placed in the Spirit Field Cave, the cave might undergo further upgrades!" Currently, Su Xing''s cave quality had reached mid-grade. If the Spirit Vein Dragon moved in, it might reach high-grade quality within a few months. Then, Su Xing''s cultivation speed and spiritual liquid production would further increase. "Excellent! Successfully breaking through to the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm in one go increases the likelihood of achieving Great Perfection of the Human Immortal Realm in this simulation!" Su Xing nodded with satisfaction. He then turned his gaze to the Simulation Panel. [After breaking through to the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm, you remained on Blue Star and continued cultivating.] [Fifteen years passed swiftly...] [In the seventeenth year, your cultivation level rose to the mid-seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm.] [This year, you visited the Beast Taming Realm to resolve some hidden dangers...] [In the twenty-eighth year, the Demon Saint descended upon Blue Star...] [You guarded the Demon-Subduing Pass for five years, and the Demon Saint was defeated.] [By the thirty-third year, you advanced to the late seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm.] [That same year, you traveled from the Slaughter Battlefield to the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Upon arriving at the Little Qingyun Realm, your first task was to sell information at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [But you did not forget that in two years, the All-Encompassing Flower would appear in the Blackwater Realm!] [The All-Encompassing Flower is a vital ingredient for refining the Earth Origin Pill, so you needed to visit the Blackwater Realm.] [You traveled to the southern part of the Little Qingyun Realm, located the spatial coordinates connecting to the Blackwater Realm...] [Then, you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat towards the void.] [The Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat navigated through turbulent void currents.] [Occasionally, you spotted Void Beasts sleeping and foraging in the void.] [These Void Beasts were immensely powerful, with the weakest having the strength of an immortal. There were even legends of Void Beasts possessing power comparable to that of a Daluo Golden Immortal!] Chapter 289 Golden Talent Alchemy Dao Saint, First Arrival in Yellow Sand Realm [8k]_3 [You activated the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat''s protective formation, resisting the erosion of the Void.][Seven days later, you arrived at the first Void Node.] [You piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, successfully passing through the Space Node, traversing countless voids...] [Thus, you only needed to pass through two more Void Nodes to smoothly arrive at the Blackwater Realm.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. Traversing between worlds was extremely difficult, otherwise, even Immortals wouldn''t find it hard to arrive. Even adjacent Minor Thousand Worlds required Heavenly Immortals to fly for a thousand years to reach their destination if measured purely by distance. At this time, it was necessary to contact the Space Nodes in the Void for long-distance space jumps. Each jump might cover a distance of billions of miles. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire Adjacent Minor Worlds often required crossing two or three Void Nodes. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. For far-apart Minor Thousand Worlds, it might even require crossing dozens of Void Nodes. Therefore, long-distance jumps were only possible above the True Immortal Realm. Otherwise, immortal power alone would not support the flight of an Immortal Boat... "Fortunately, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat had a storage function, and my mana had greatly improved since before..." "This time, can I safely arrive at the Blackwater Realm?" Su Xing was slightly nervous. In a previous simulation, he had failed to traverse worlds and was forced to land in a world on the brink of destruction, significantly reducing his simulation time. This time, he couldn''t afford to repeat the same mistake... Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [After passing through the first Void Node, more than half of the immortal power in your body was consumed.] [So, you activated the storage function of the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, enabling automatic navigation.] [In just three days of navigation, you consumed tens of thousands of drops of Low Grade Spiritual Liquid, causing you great heartache.] [After recovering your mana, you injected your immortal power to continue the navigation yourself.] [A week later, you passed through the second Void Node.] [Ten days later, you arrived at the spatial coordinates of the Blackwater Realm.] [You piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to slowly descend...] [Congratulations, you successfully arrived at the Blackwater Realm!] [According to your information, the strongest sect in the Blackwater Realm was only guarded by Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, far less powerful than those in the Little Qingyun Realm.] [But you also knew that the Blackwater Realm was undoubtedly infiltrated by the Descending Sect.] [The Mahayana Blood Seed from before originated from the small Blackwater Realm...] [Two years later, with the opening of the All-Encompassing Flower Secret Realm, another fierce battle might ensue.] [Ninety-nine percent of the Blackwater Realm''s area was covered by oceans.] [And the location of the Secret Realm''s opening was also at the bottom of the ocean, ten thousand feet deep.] [Su Xing arrived early at the Secret Realm''s location, using the Water-Repelling Pearl to establish an underwater cave mansion nearby, ensuring he could enter the Secret Realm as soon as it opened.] [But at the same time, you had some concerns.] [The Descending Sect''s influence in the Blackwater Realm wasn''t weak; would members of the Descending Sect come when the Secret Realm opened?] Seeing this, Su Xing was also a bit curious. "This Blackwater Realm should be like the Blue Star, already corrupted beyond recognition by the Descending Sect..." "But the Damned Dragon''s strength was average... Are there stronger existences within the Blackwater Realm''s Descending Sect?" What Su Xing worried about was those high-ranking officials with blood code names. If they appeared here, it would be troublesome. Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [To ensure the All-Encompassing Flower was entirely yours, you continued to cultivate diligently, hoping to further improve your cultivation level.] [In the thirty-ninth year, your cultivation level still remained at the late stage of the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm.] [But at the moment the Secret Realm opened, you rushed in immediately.] [According to the information, the All-Encompassing Flower was the most precious heaven and earth treasure in this Secret Realm, hidden at the deepest part.] [When you entered the Secret Realm on the third day, several figures also entered this Secret Realm.] [You explored the Secret Realm and, relying on your Good Fortune Talent, you smoothly reached the deepest part of the Secret Realm and picked all of the All-Encompassing Flowers.] [Just as you were about to leave, three figures surrounded you.] [You didn''t know their identities, but judging from the cause and effect tied to them, they were evil cultivators!] [One was at the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, one at the early stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, and one was at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm...] [You guessed these three were members of the Descending Sect!] [A fierce battle ensued.] [You fought against three, initially at a disadvantage, but after you managed to kill the early Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, the pressure was greatly reduced.] [The battle lasted an entire day and night, causing the entire sea to boil.] [You unleashed one thousand nine hundred Body-Protecting Sword Qi, combining it with Unethical in Martial Conduct, and instantly killed the late Earth Immortal Realm cultivator...] [With only the peak Human Immortal Realm cultivator left, you easily killed him and then performed a soul search.] [As expected, these three were indeed cadres of the Descending Sect!] [Codenamed Blood Forty-Nine, Blood Fifty-Nine, and Blood Ninety-One...] [From their Storage Magical Artifacts, you acquired a large amount of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Liquid, along with numerous cultivation resources.] [Their Storage Magical Artifacts contained nearly ten million drops of Mid Grade Spirit Liquid and several million Spirit Stones, sufficient for your cultivation for a long time.] [You carefully inspected each Magical Treasure, destroying any with residual markings.] [Ensuring no flaws were left behind, you navigated the Spirit Boat and took a month to return to the Little Qingyun Realm...] In the real world, Su Xing arched an eyebrow upon seeing this. Chapter 289 Golden Talent Alchemy Dao Saint, Initial Arrival at Yellow Sand Realm [8k]_4 "Blood Forty-Nine, Blood Fifty-Nine... and even Blood Ninety-One?""It seems the Descending Sect indeed knows about this secret realm. In the previous timeline, these All-Encompassing Flowers were very likely obtained by them!" Su Xing''s understanding of the Descending Sect also became more comprehensive. "It seems the strength of the Descending Sect is greater than I imagined..." "Perhaps cadres numbered within the top sixty are all Earth Immortal Realm cultivators!" "And Blood Forty-Nine is already at the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm... Those ranked before the top forty might even reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm?" Su Xing remained silent for a while, then suddenly laughed. After reaching the Immortal Realm, cultivation progress slowed and required massive resources. Robbing ordinary cultivators was something Su Xing would never do. But these Descending Sect cadres, weren''t they just cash cows for Su Xing? "Tsk tsk, it seems I have a way to make a fortune in the future..." "Millions of drops of mid-grade spiritual liquid... Tsk tsk, this would be enough for me to cultivate for a dozen or twenty years!" The more spiritual liquid, the better, naturally. Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, his gaze returning to the simulation panel. "Next, quickly elevate my cultivation level to the peak of the Human Immortal Realm!" [Upon returning to the Little Qingyun Realm, you immediately went into seclusion to cultivate.] [With the adequate support of spiritual liquid, your cultivation progressed rapidly.] [In the forty-fifth year, your cultivation level reached the peak of the Human Immortal Realm.] [After accumulating your foundation for five years, you attempted to break through to the eighth level of the Human Immortal Realm!] [In the fiftieth year, you successfully broke through to the eighth level of the Human Immortal Realm!] [At this time, on the front lines of the Heavenly Demon City, the red-eyed foreign races had begun to descend.] [You knew that this time, the Red Moon''s arrival was somewhat earlier, so you worked even harder in your cultivation.] [Aside from cultivating, you also purchased intelligence on other minor thousand worlds near the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Most minor thousand worlds were undergoing invasions by foreign races.] [Some minor thousand worlds had even been entirely obliterated by foreign races.] [This gave you a headache, and you could only do your best to choose worlds far from the frontline battlefield that were relatively safe...] [Thus, fifteen more years passed quickly.] [In the sixty-fifth year, your cultivation level advanced to the mid-stage of the eighth level of the Human Immortal Realm.] [As your cultivation level increased, you felt your cultivation speed increasingly slow down...] [In the eightieth year, your cultivation level progressed to the late stage of the eighth level of the Human Immortal Realm.] [Through years of investigation, you had formed a preliminary escape plan, deciding not to die a slow death in the Little Qingyun Realm, but to flee to other minor thousand worlds.] [From your investigations, you discovered three suitable worlds for escape!] [They were the Spirit Beast Realm, the Yellow Sand Realm, and the Star Realm.] [You had previously visited the Spirit Beast Realm, which was also being invaded by foreign races, but its peril was far less than that of the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Based on your speculation, the Spirit Beast Realm was likely to be completely invaded after the Little Qingyun Realm.] [The Star Realm was the furthest world from the Little Qingyun Realm, separated by three minor worlds, requiring travel through thirteen void nodes.] [Cultivators in the Star Realm possessed strange powers, capable of harnessing the power of stars to enhance themselves, often making them stronger than cultivators of the same realm.] [It was also the strongest cultivation world among the three minor thousand worlds.] [However, with your current mana, it might be difficult to reach the Star Realm.] [The Yellow Sand Realm was located to the west of the Little Qingyun Realm, a relatively barren world.] [Due to its barrenness and the not weak strength of its cultivators, it was invaded by foreign races relatively late.] [Interestingly, nearly ninety-nine percent of the Yellow Sand Realm was covered by deserts.] [In the Yellow Sand Realm, most cultivators had the earth spirit root, with over ninety percent of them also practicing body refinement!] Su Xing murmured as he read: "The Yellow Sand Realm, practicing body refinement..." "It seems harsh environments also affect the primary cultivation direction of cultivators..." Su Xing pondered deeply. He first ruled out the Spirit Beast Realm. Previously, Su Xing went to this realm but was found by Qing Yunzi, indicating that escaping to the Spirit Beast Realm was not safe. "And the Star Realm... it seems a bit too far?" "Perhaps it would be safer to head there after reaching the Earth Immortal Realm..." Su Xing murmured, having made a decision in his heart, his gaze shifting to the simulation panel. [After your analysis, you felt the Yellow Sand Realm was more suitable for escape. This realm was remote with fewer cultivation resources, but you had ample spiritual liquid to sustain your cultivation.] [However, the Yellow Sand Realm was also six void nodes away from the Little Qingyun Realm.] [You planned to cultivate further and break through before heading there.] [Thus, you went into seclusion for another eight years.] S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the eighty-eighth year, your cultivation level reached the peak of the eighth level of the Human Immortal Realm.] [You started a seclusion to break through, aiming for the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm.] [You succeeded...] [In the ninetieth year, one day, you had a feeling and successfully became a ninth-level Human Immortal Realm cultivator.] [After breaking through to the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm, you did not immediately head to the Yellow Sand Realm.] [There was a more important task at hand, refining the Earth Origin Pill!] Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire [Over the years, you had gathered all the materials needed to refine the Earth Origin Pill.] [You consumed the Spirit Awakening Pill, preparing to start refining the Earth Origin Pill...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and felt a surge in his heart, silently reciting: "Use the immersive simulation, duration 30 days..." [Ding...] The scenery before his eyes changed, and Su Xing''s consciousness entered the simulator. "The eleventh-tier Earth Origin Pill... With the blessing of the Alchemy Grandmaster and the Spirit Awakening Pill, how long will it take to learn?" Su Xing pursed his lips. Currently, his understanding of the Alchemy Dao barely allowed him to refine tenth-tier elixirs, far from reaching the level of an Alchemy Grandmaster. But successfully refining the Earth Origin Pill would mark his official entry into the ranks of Alchemy Grandmasters. Chapter 289 Golden Talent Alchemy Dao Saint, Initial Arrival at Yellow Sand Realm [8k]_5 "Earth Origin Pill is a small pill, just perfect for drilling proficiency!"Su Xing thought so. In the Three Thousand Worlds, elixirs are also divided into large and small pills. Large and small pills do not refer to the quality level of alchemy but the time and frequency of refining. For example, the Nine Revolutions Pill, which takes dozens of days to refine one piece and can only be taken once in a lifetime, is definitely a big pill. But the Earth Origin Pill and Origin Martial Pill, among others, are small pills that can be refined multiple times in a day, with each batch taking only a few hours. They can also be taken long-term to assist in cultivation, thus making them small pills. Su Xing consumed a Spirit Awakening Pill, activated the Great Wisdom State, and with the aid of the late bloomer talent, a month of refining could be worth twenty years! Moreover, the Saint Hand of Alchemy gave Su Xing a clearer understanding of alchemy almost instantly. On the first day of the immersive simulation, Su Xing opened the furnace and refined Earth Origin Pills twice, both ending in failure. Every day afterward, Su Xing refined two batches, all failing... But through failures, Su Xing summarized his experiences and felt his mastery of the Earth Origin Pill and understanding of alchemy were rapidly progressing. Until the fifteenth day. Su Xing was refining the Earth Origin Pill, and a flash of insight struck him, making the process exceptionally smooth. But at the pill formation stage, a tiny mistake led to three subpar Earth Origin Pills. "Hmm... half a month, and I''ve produced subpar Earth Origin Pills. At this rate... I should master it in a month!" Su Xing took a deep breath and continued refining. Thus, by the twenty-third day, Su Xing''s success rate in refining the Earth Origin Pill had reached about ten to twenty percent. Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He had genuinely reached the entry-level in refining the Earth Origin Pill. Looking at the silver-white pill in his hand, which contained traces of Origin Force, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. "The Earth Origin Pill aids in the blooming of Origin Force within the body, stimulates its growth to reach the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, and supports the second layer''s cultivation!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. The remaining seven days of the immersive simulation were not wasted by Su Xing, who continued refining the Earth Origin Pill. ... The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing''s consciousness returned. Recalling the memories of refining the Earth Origin Pill, Su Xing concluded: "A month of immersive simulation, the success rate of refining the Earth Origin Pill reached thirty percent, truly entry-level... but still quite a distance from the minor achievement level." "However, my alchemy skills are now at the Grandmaster level!" "Once I thoroughly master the Earth Origin Pill, refining eleventh-grade elixirs in the future won''t be so challenging..." Su Xing was fairly satisfied with this. He looked at the simulation panel. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire [You spent a month, successfully reaching entry-level proficiency in refining the Earth Origin Pill.] [Afterward, you quickly prepared to head to the Yellow Sand Realm...] [At the spatial node in the southwest of the Little Qingyun Realm, you activated the Flowing Cloud Golden Immortal Boat and sailed into the void...] [Seven days later, you crossed the first void node.] [You continued towards the Yellow Sand Realm...] [Crossing the void and heading to other worlds proved much more challenging than you imagined.] [For the first four void nodes, you managed by alternating between spiritual liquid and mana output to ensure the smooth sailing of the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat.] [But after more than a month in the void, when attempting to cross the fifth void node, your mana started to become erratic.] [At this point, you understood that the void, lacking spiritual energy and having a peculiar environment, was extremely harsh for cultivators.] [Cultivators with abundant mana could last a long time, and even though your foundation was deep, your mana at that moment was comparable to that of an early Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, it was still hard to sustain.] [Fortunately, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, as a half-step Acquired Treasure, was more resilient than you imagined.] [Despite the bumpy situation in the later stages, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat eventually safely crossed all six void nodes, arriving at the Yellow Sand Realm!] [Upon landing in the Yellow Sand Realm, the external and internal formations of the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat were damaged to varying degrees.] [You had to make an emergency landing; eventually, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat couldn''t continue traveling.] [This time, you could only stay in the Yellow Sand Realm...] [After arriving in the Yellow Sand Realm, your first task was to investigate the forces in this realm.] [According to the information obtained, Earth Immortal Realm cultivators were present in the Yellow Sand Realm...] [And their body refinement cultivation level was pure and comparable to Heavenly Immortal Realm, trained in the extremely harsh environment of the Yellow Sand Realm.] [The cultivators in the Yellow Sand Realm were extremely united, living in the few oases.] [What surprised you was that the cultivators in this realm were proficient in the Dao of Puppets.] [After confirming that the cultivators of the Yellow Sand Realm were extraordinary and that the situation regarding foreign race invasions was not too severe, you opened a cave dwelling deep within the desert.] [Unexpectedly, the Yellow Sand Realm''s soil and fire spiritual energies were abundant, and due to possessing the Fiery Flame Divine Body, your cultivation speed also slightly increased...] Chapter 292 Golden Talent Inborn Unique Meridian, Sweeping the Descending Sect Branch! [One day later, Qing Yunzi found you.][Qing Yunzi was already somewhat deranged, and without any explanation, he soul-searched you.] [You hurriedly explained that you had infiltrated the Luo Tian Instance and brought back an ultimate secret method called the Wishful Visualization Technique for him!] [You wrapped your Divine Sense around the Diagram of Wishful Visualization in your mind and transferred it to Qing Yunzi, suffering a great loss in Divine Sense.] [Qing Yunzi remained silent for a long time after obtaining the diagram.] [Finally, he howled toward the sky, already somewhat out of his mind, like a madman!] [Qing Yunzi had schemed his entire life to reverse three corpses for the path to sainthood, only to find that the road ahead was blocked...] [After his Dao Heart was damaged, black gas rose from Qing Yunzi''s body, and he completely fell into madness!] [Seeing this, you knew something was wrong and prepared to escape, but Qing Yunzi caught you with one hand!] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing''s face was somewhat solemn. "As expected... with Qing Yunzi''s current cultivation level, it was clearly not realistic to re-cultivate the Wishful Visualization Technique..." "And without the Wishful Visualization Diagram, the defects of Three Purities from One Qi cannot be remedied... Seeing that his path was cut off, it''s no wonder he went mad!" Su Xing somewhat understood Qing Yunzi. After cultivating for hundreds of thousands or even a million years and scheming meticulously for the path to sainthood, only to fail at the last moment... Such an experience would be unbearable for anyone! "Alas, it seems that the path of befriending Qing Yunzi is temporarily unworkable!" "The method to extend the simulation still lies in going to a more distant Minor Thousand World to evade Qing Yunzi''s pursuit!" The Three Thousand Worlds were vast and boundless. Su Xing believed that even if Qing Yunzi were a Daluo Golden Immortal or Semi-Saint, he could not possibly find every corner! What Su Xing needed to do was to escape to a world far enough away to simulate longer! Before that, Su Xing needed a stronger Qi Refining cultivation and higher-level comprehension of the Great Dao of Space! "Close! This time''s simulation perfectly completed the Great Dao of Space... and also found the whereabouts of the two Yin-Yang fires!" "The distance to reaching the Earth Immortal Realm... is already not far!" Su Xing took a deep breath and looked at the rewards for this simulation. [Thousand-Cup No Drunk]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 point of Origin Energy Source. [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Second Level (Entry)]: Entry to the second level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, possessing the strength of three mountains and rivers, with the blossoming of Origin Force Flower inside, Origin Force endlessly rejuvenating, pure physical strength can fight early-stage Earth Immortal cultivators! Priced at 30,000 Origin Energy Source. [10 Earth Origin Pills]: Eleventh-tier Elixirs, which can trigger the Vital Energy inside the body, stimulate the birth and growth of the Origin Force Flower, used by the Ancient Witch Clan for body refining. Priced at 10,000 Origin Energy Source. [Comprehension of the Space Dao (Threshold Insight)]: Comprehension of the Great Dao of Space has reached the second stage, threshold insight realm, greatly enhancing the mastery of space power, allowing distant teleportation, and significantly enhancing space attack methods. Priced at 100,000 Origin Energy Source. Su Xing glanced at the prices of the simulation rewards and immediately felt tense. "The cultivation level of the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision (Entry) requires 30,000 Origin Energy Source?" "Doesn''t that mean that after the Earth Immortal Realm, each level of cultivation enhancement would triple the consumption of Origin Energy Source!" Su Xing took a deep breath, his face somewhat grim. Calculating like this, the energy he earned each week was somewhat insufficient... "As for this comprehension of the Great Dao of Space, just the threshold insight costs such an exaggerated price?" "Alas, the Origin Energy Source I currently have seems somewhat insufficient..." Su Xing sighed. With all calculations, the Origin Energy Source in his hand barely exceeded 110,000. To extract the comprehension of the Great Dao of Space and the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, it was somewhat lacking. "But after trading with Lu Yuanwu, it should just barely meet the energy requirement for claiming the rewards..." "As for the subsequent energy, I''ll have to quickly think of a solution!" Su Xing didn''t hesitate, first disguising himself and concealing his aura, then went to trade with Lu Yuanwu. Moments later, after completing the trade, Su Xing rode his sword toward the Immortal Martial Era Instance. After replenishing the Spirit Stone energy for thirty mining puppets, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Cave. "I choose to bring out the cultivation level of the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and the comprehension of the Great Dao of Space!" Su Xing recited silently, and the simulator''s prompt sounded in his ears. [You successfully brought out the cultivation level of the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision (Entry), costing 30,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source is 100,502 points] [You successfully brought out the comprehension of the Great Dao of Space, costing 100,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source is 502 points...] As the simulation prompt ended, Su Xing''s heart bled. Over 100,000 points of Origin Energy Source, gone in a flash, leaving only 500 points... "Alas, Dao Comprehension and Cultivation levels are the main expenses for energy!" Su Xing sighed helplessly. The next second, two profound energies surged into Su Xing''s body. First was the huge enhancement of his Body Refinement cultivation! Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing''s physical strength and defense tripled in an instant! From the strength of one mountain and river, it directly rose to the strength of three mountains and rivers! The greater change, however, was in Su Xing''s Origin Force within his body! The original Origin Force Seed slowly shed its shell and transformed into a blooming Origin Force Flower... Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Origin Force became more vigorous, and even its quality improved significantly! Su Xing could sense that if he used Origin Force now, both the enhancement of strength and the improvement of defense would be greatly increased! After upgrading to an Immortal Physique, the initial augmentation of Origin Force on strength was less than fifty percent, not as effective as during the Divine Strength Realm... But now, the augmentation of Origin Force on physical strength and power exceeded triple! Especially... the power of the Origin Force divine skill Body-Protecting Sword Aura also improved further! Chapter 292 Golden Talent, Inborn Unique Meridian, Sweeping the Descending Sect Branch! _2 Su Xing hadn''t had time to rejoice when a flood of comprehension regarding the Great Dao of Space surged into his mind.Along with this, his understanding of the surrounding space became even more profound. In just a few breaths, Su Xing felt that the space around him seemed somewhat different in his eyes. With a thought, Su Xing wielded the power of space... Originally, if the embryonic form of the Great Dao of Space made each thread of space power as thin as hair. Now, it was like a fine net, firmly covering all the surrounding space, completely under Su Xing''s control! Thirty feet... fifty feet... one hundred feet! One hundred and ten feet! Su Xing could feel that the current limit of his Great Dao of Space allowed him to fully control the space within a radius of one hundred and ten feet! In this area, Su Xing was the one true god of the space laws! Unless someone with a more profound mastery of the Great Dao of Space appeared in this space... A span of one hundred and ten feet was more than enough to cover the entire Spirit Field Cave! This also meant that Su Xing now truly had the ability to take the entire Spirit Field Cave, along with him, off Blue Star! Just like taking out a storage magical artifact and its contents! But the difference was, the Spirit Field Cave could carry life! This meant that Su Xing could completely take the Spirit Vein Dragon and even his cherished family and friends out of Blue Star, fleeing to the Three Thousand Worlds! Su Xing took a deep breath, his eyes brimming with excitement. After two years of hard work, he had finally gained the power to protect his family and friends! At the very least, the people he cared about wouldn''t perish in the catastrophe wrought by the foreign race decades later... "But, the Spirit Field Space is not all-powerful!" "Ultimately, this small space can''t save everyone on Blue Star!" Su Xing sighed. After all, Blue Star was the land that nurtured him. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn''t have the heart to abandon it. Moreover, Blue Star was related to Luo Tian and harbored great secrets that Su Xing had yet to uncover, making it impossible for him to easily forsake Blue Star... "However... the Spirit Field Cave is not omnipotent!" Su Xing still harbored a long-hidden anxiety. The Spirit Field Cave, after all, was a gift from Qing Yunzi. As long as this cave existed, could Qing Yunzi sense Su Xing''s location? But for Su Xing to abandon this cave was simply unrealistic! Previously, Su Xing had no solution for this issue. But now, as his comprehension of the Great Dao of Space kept improving, he vaguely touched upon deeper aspects of the Dao of Space! That was to use supreme might to forcibly carve out a space completely belonging to himself, or to integrate part of the world''s space into his existing blessed land! Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing estimated that to achieve this, his comprehension of the Great Dao of Space would have to reach at least a minor achievement stage... And Su Xing still had a long way to go to reach that realm. "The road is long and arduous! The urgent task is to acquire more origin energy sources!" Su Xing muttered to himself. This week, he planned to recall the Heavenly Secret Pavilion''s puppets scattered throughout the Great Xia Country. Months had passed, and those puppets must have traded a considerable amount of goods by now, enabling Su Xing to replenish a wave of energy, bringing in massive quantities of origin energy sources. Furthermore, Su Xing''s plan to expand his "Heavenly Secret Pavilion" puppet organization globally needed to be implemented as soon as possible. So, Su Xing decided to first repair the Divine Transformation Level puppets. This level of puppets had strength comparable to a Martial Emperor, sufficient to protect themselves in the Seven Nations and Twelve Domains, establish power, and bring Su Xing a large amount of origin energy sources. Especially in the chaotic Twelve Domains, if Su Xing''s moral bottom line were a bit lower... in a short time, it could bring a vast amount of origin energy sources! Su Xing was highly action-oriented, and once decided, he acted immediately. In one week, he repaired three Divine Transformation Stage puppets. Along with the previous five puppets, Su Xing prepared a batch of fifth and sixth-rank talismans for them, numerous Lifespan Extension Elixirs, and even ten thousand Origin Martial Pills! These goods were enough for the puppet organization to exchange for a large amount of energy materials. Of course, to ensure foolproof success, Su Xing prepared enough spirit stones as their power source and numerous talismans of seventh rank and above to guarantee the puppets'' combat power! Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire After doing all this, Su Xing traveled eighty thousand miles via sword flight to the so-called Blue Star "Chaos Realm"! The Twelve Domains area! "Here it is, the Twelve Domains!" Su Xing was flying on his sword, high above in the sky, and his divine sense spread out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire Twelve Domains. The Twelve Domains consisted of a continent plus several hundred coastal peninsulas and islands. The total area was more than three times that of the entire Great Xia Country! Because it had twelve powerful profession users, leading twelve different organizations and forming an alliance, it was known as the Twelve Domains. The Twelve Domains were relatively chaotic, and here strength was everything, overriding the laws set by the human alliance of the Seven Nations. Many master-level and even Martial Emperor Legendary-level renegade profession users hid in the Twelve Domains, secretly establishing their own "empires" to enjoy endless resources and power... Su Xing''s divine sense continuously swept through the Twelve Domains, and after half a day, he roughly understood the strength of the most powerful profession users in the entire Twelve Domains. "Hiss... The overall strength of the Twelve Domains is indeed not to be underestimated!" A strange light flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. In his perception, there were six Legendary-level profession users hidden in the Twelve Domains! Dozens of Martial Emperor-level profession users, and as for Heavenly King-level and above profession users, there were no fewer than a hundred! Chapter 292 Golden Talent, Inborn Unique Meridian, Sweeping the Descending Sect Branch! _3 This level of power could amount to about one-third to half of the high-end forces of the Great Xia Country!As for the number of Master to Grandmaster Level professionals, it was several times that of the Great Xia Country! Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. These professionals came from all over the world, including America, Huangdao Country, and even illegal professionals from the Great Xia Country, hiding here. For thousands of years, the Twelve Domains had been difficult to eradicate, gradually forming an unspoken rule. These chaotic evil or chaotic neutral professionals could only act within the Twelve Domains, as long as they didn''t venture into the seven great empires, people simply turned a blind eye. "The highest are but Legendary Level professionals, Divinity Transformation Stage puppets holding Seventh-Rank Talismans should be able to establish a power of their own within the Twelve Domains!" Su Xing murmured, then cast an invisibility formation on himself and landed in a certain city within the Twelve Domains. Dressed in a black robe, Su Xing moved as if the place were uninhabited, observing the city. The streets and alleys were filled with the sounds of quarrels and fights. In just ten minutes, Su Xing saw no less than six cases of theft, three robberies, and even a murder! And all these acts of violence were done by professionals! From bronze and silver down to Heavenly King Level professionals, they were all involved. Su Xing passed through a chaotic market and entered a black market. In this black market, laws and principles were non-existent, and fights between buyers and sellers were commonplace. If you were strong enough, you could even force buyers or sellers, and it wouldn''t be a problem! Of course, even within the Twelve Domains, there was a thin strand of credibility... If you frequently robbed, coerced, or didn''t pay for your purchases, it was easy to get blacklisted, despised by both buyers and sellers, leading to a bad reputation. In severe cases, even the "emperors" of the Twelve Domains, those at Legendary and Martial Emperor Levels, would intervene! Su Xing wandered the Twelve Domains for an hour, then left satisfied. In a secluded corner, Su Xing released three Divinity Transformation puppets and five Nascent Soul Stage puppets. Then, he issued orders to them. "From now on, you will move freely within the Twelve Domains..." "Remember, conduct legal transactions, and hold integrity as your core!" "Of course, if you encounter forceful buying or selling... just beat them up and take all their money!" Su Xing ordered. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire His creed was: If people do not offend me, I will not offend them; if people offend me, I will destroy them directly! This saying was most suitable within the Twelve Domains. If it weren''t for the worry that it would stir too much turmoil and alert the Descending Sect, Su Xing could have directly killed an infamous emperor within the Twelve Domains and replaced him with a puppet, which would likely bring more wealth and energy in a short time! "These goods should be enough for your transactions for the next six months..." "Remember, I need Alien Metals and Abyss Stones, as well as all kinds of low-rank instance dungeon items and equipment!" "Exchange all these materials for them!" Su Xing ordered. These puppets had high intelligence and could carry out relatively complex orders; such simple transactions were naturally no problem. "Yes, master!" The eight puppets responded, each carrying goods, disappearing into the nearby cities. Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this scene. Today, he had sown the seeds, now he just had to wait to reap the harvest when the time came! ... Time quickly passed to September 16. Su Xing, after disguising himself and suppressing his aura, went to trade with Jin Congxue. Over the week, Su Xing had summoned back the puppets dispersed across the Great Xia Country, bringing with them an enormous wealth he hadn''t anticipated! All the merchant puppets, over a few months, brought Su Xing thousands of tons of fourth-rank special metals, countless second- and third-rank alien metals, and numerous instance dungeon items and pieces of equipment. The total energy origin brought in was worth 103,000 points! On the noon of September 16, Su Xing went to the villa area to meet Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue, wearing a black short dress today, sat opposite Su Xing, and they quickly got down to business. "Here are this week''s goods... check them out..." Jin Congxue handed over a storage ring, Su Xing absorbed and converted it, gaining an additional 27,000 points of energy. After the transaction, Jin Congxue suddenly thought of something and said to Su Xing: "By the way, it seems that something has happened in America recently..." America? Su Xing paused after hearing this, frowned, and asked: "Did something unexpected happen in America?" Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue spoke seriously: "I heard that in America, a Great Emperor level powerhouse has appeared!" "That powerhouse delved into the Endless Abyss, clearing the monsters on the twentieth to thirtieth levels in just a few days..." "This action has attracted significant attention from the American officials, and even numerous Heavenly King Level professionals have confirmed that America indeed has a new peak powerhouse!" Jin Congxue paused and looked somewhat helpless as she continued. "Because of this, recently, American professionals and major merchant guilds have been rather arrogant within the Human Alliance... even overshadowing our Great Xia Country!" Upon hearing Jin Congxue''s words, Su Xing displayed a strange expression on his face. A Great Emperor powerhouse... sweeping through the Abyss''s twentieth to thirtieth layers? Wasn''t that what he had done two weeks ago? Su Xing was a bit puzzled; when had he become an American professional? Su Xing found it speechless but roughly guessed America''s intentions. This was like that certain Asian country from his previous life, claiming credit to boost its own international influence? Chapter 292 Golden Talent, Inborn Unique Meridian, Sweeping the Descending Sect Branch! _4 Thinking of this, Su Xing smiled wryly and said to Jin Congxue:"You don''t need to be overly concerned about this..." After a pause, Su Xing added. "They are not American practitioners, but predecessors from within our organization!" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue''s eyes lit up instantly, then she reacted, showing a look of astonishment. Within the organization, there was a Great Emperor-level expert? This was something Jin Congxue never expected! Previously, she knew the organization was powerful, but she didn''t expect it to be this strong! ... After bidding Jin Congxue farewell, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave. Because he had dispatched the puppet for a week, the amount of Origin Energy Source he obtained was extremely high. Su Xing''s Origin Energy Source exceeded 130,000 points again. On September 16, 2025, New Era, Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation. "Start simulation!" [The 104th simulation begins, current remaining Origin Energy Source is 131,236 points... Remaining simulation times none.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, would you like to draw?] "Yes!" Su Xing silently mouthed. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent Inborn Unique Meridian. The probability of drawing a Golden Talent in the next simulation is 60%...] [Inborn Unique Meridian]: Golden Talent, you cannot enhance your cultivation by consuming elixir-type resources, but in a natural state, your cultivation speed is doubled... "Hmm? This talent..." Su Xing frowned slightly; this seemed like a double-edged sword type of talent. After obtaining this talent, Su Xing could not enhance his cultivation speed by consuming elixirs... For example, the Earth Origin Pill could not be consumed... But at the same time, the benefits were enormous! The cultivation speed doubled directly! This meant that cultivation that originally took twenty or thirty years would only take a little over ten years! "I just wonder if this Inborn Unique Meridian talent can be stacked with the Late Bloomer talent?" Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing was a bit curious. Soon, Su Xing thought of the usage scenario for this talent. During Body Refinement, Su Xing needed to consume Earth Origin Pills, so it would be counterproductive to bring out this talent... But when enhancing Qi Refinement Cultivation, Su Xing could consume Spiritual Liquid and perhaps enjoy double the cultivation speed! S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thinking of this, Su Xing''s eyes lit up. As his cultivation realm improved, advancing a single level in the Earth Immortal Realm took two to three thousand years. Even Su Xing needed to spend a lot of time and resources cultivating... With this talent, Su Xing''s cultivation speed would still be guaranteed to be extremely fast! "Not bad... When the time is right, this talent can be brought out, but for now, it''s not suitable..." Su Xing quickly ran through his simulation plan in his mind. "The Yin-Yang Pill must be found, and the Dao Comprehension of the Great Sword Dao also needs further improvement!" Su Xing entered the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, increasing his mastery of Origin Force. This also meant that the upper limit of Su Xing''s Body-Protecting Sword Aura was higher, only lacking further insight into Sword Dao. If he could enter the Dao with the sword and completely comprehend the Great Sword Dao, the power of the Body-Protecting Sword Aura would surely be further enhanced! Su Xing thought this and looked at the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating.] [Ten days later, you repaired several Divinity Transformation Stage puppets and then entered the Luo Tian Instance...] [After coming out of the Luo Tian Instance, you tried to dispatch various puppets to the Seven Countries and Twelve Domains to accumulate initial Origin Energy Source.] [Afterward, you stayed on the Blue Star and resumed practicing the Three Talents Sword Technique.] [When your Great Sword Dao nearly reached perfection before, you realized that only by merging the three swords of the Three Talents Sword Technique could you enter the Dao with the sword and further enhance your power.] [For this, you practiced diligently, and ten years flew by...] [In the tenth year, you further integrated the Three Talents Sword Technique, almost achieving the merging of three swords, but always fell just one step short.] [This year, you went to the Beast Taming Realm to eliminate threats.] [In the fifteenth year, the puppet forces you dispatched had developed greatly, covering almost the entire Seven Countries and Twelve Domains.] [In the Twelve Domains, seven emperors had been replaced by "puppets," bringing you vast resources annually.] [You continued to practice on the Blue Star, and thirteen years passed in the blink of an eye...] [In the twenty-eighth year, the Double-pupil Demon Saint descended...] [In the thirty-third year, you decided to leave the Blue Star.] [But this time, you planned to take your family and friends with you, leaving this place!] [Due to limited capacity in the Spirit Field Cave, you packed all your family and friends into it, hoping they could live longer.] [Including Jin Congxue, Luo Shuying, and a few others, all hoping to go to the Three Thousand Worlds.] [Except for Lu Yuanwu...] [In the end, Lu Yuanwu chose to stay on the Blue Star, to live and die with the Human Race!] [You admired Lu Yuanwu''s actions, but to ensure the fire of the Blue Star Human Race didn''t extinguish, you took a portion of the Human Race and settled them in the Spirit Field Cave, heading towards the Slaughter Battlefield.] [Heading in the direction of the Red Moon, you quickly reached the alternate space.] [Using the power of space, you wrapped the entire Spirit Field Cave within it, including the Human Race inside and even the Spirit Vein Dragon!] [After a violent space fluctuation, you arrived in the Little Qingyun Realm...] In the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath after seeing this. "Finally, after so much effort, I managed to take a portion of the Human Race away from the Blue Star, a small goal achieved..." Su Xing knew that perhaps a complete rescue of the Blue Star was still far away, but a partial rescue was also a significant achievement. Chapter 292 Golden Talent, Inborn Unique Meridian, Sweeping the Descending Sect Branch! _5 "Then for this simulation, go to the Yellow Sand Realm as soon as possible... But before that, I need to locate the Yin-Yang Pill!"Su Xing knew that the Yin-Yang Pill was extremely rare, but some peak Human Immortal Realm cultivators might have it. Among them, Su Xing had strong suspicions that Blood Ninety-Nine possessed one. Therefore, Su Xing set his sights on Blood Ninety-Nine. "Blood Ninety-Nine should still be in that valley... Perhaps I can take advantage of the time selling information and blend in with the loose cultivators to launch a sneak attack on those Descending Sect officers?" Su Xing touched his chin thoughtfully. The cultivation resources of a Descending Sect officer could equal those of two or three cultivators of the same level. If he could rob a few Descending Sect officers, he would surely obtain many resources... He might even be able to gather the resources needed to advance to the Earth Immortal Realm! With this thought, Su Xing hesitated no longer and looked at the simulation panel. [After arriving in the Little Qingyun Realm, you immediately placed the Human Race in White Emperor City.] [Except for some close family and friends, you let the rest fend for themselves. After all, you''ve done your best to have a clear conscience.] [You then went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in White Emperor City and sold most of the information you had.] [This information was either about Qing Yunzi or the Descending Sect and Red Moon...] [After leaking information about the Descending Sect''s stronghold, you paid special attention to this area.] [In August of the same year, you lay low in White Emperor City and noticed that the city began to gather loose cultivators to attack several Descending Sect strongholds.] [One of these strongholds was the one you previously stayed at, which was Blood Ninety-Nine''s base!] [Given your current strength, even if you couldn''t defeat the top-ranking officers of the Descending Sect, you wouldn''t be in any life-threatening danger.] [So you planned to hide among the loose cultivators and seize the opportunity to attack the Descending Sect stronghold, hoping to get Blood Ninety-Nine''s storage magical artifact and the Yin-Yang Pill!] [In January of the same year, a group of several hundred cultivators in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, dozens of Human Immortal Realm cultivators, and even a few Earth Immortal Realm cultivators acted...] [With your divine sense, you even noticed a few Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators following in the shadows to ensure the plan''s success...] [You all spent several months lurking outside the valley base, and finally, the Earth Immortal Realm cultivators led the charge, attacking the valley base!] [This battle was a complete slaughter, a massacre by the loose cultivators of the Little Qingyun Realm against the Descending Sect!] [Even though the valley had several Earth Immortal and Human Immortal Realm cultivators defending it, they never expected a sudden attack from the Human Clan, suffering heavy losses!] [Especially the cultivators below the Transcendance Tribulation Stage who were preparing to participate in the Blood Seed competition; they were almost completely wiped out by the loose cultivators of the Little Qingyun Realm...] [It seemed that the battle between the righteous and the evil factions could be just as cruel?] [You didn''t dwell on it, quickly rushing towards the valley''s forbidden area, hoping to find Blood Ninety-Nine''s location.] Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire [But by the time you arrived, the Descending Sect officers had already fled.] [They each used their arts and techniques, escaping at astonishing speeds toward the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.] [In demon cultivator territory, Human Clan cultivators didn''t dare to act recklessly, and the Descending Sect hoped this would lessen the threat of pursuit...] [Indeed, most of the loose cultivators gave up the chase.] [But you were familiar with the interior of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and several peak Human Immortal Realm cultivators including Blood Ninety-Nine were right ahead, so you naturally wanted to kill them and see if they had the Yin-Yang Pill...] [With this determination, you charged into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains like a tiger into a flock of sheep...] Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 293 Ten Years of Immersion, Half-step Earth Immortal Realm! [In the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, you had a significant advantage, and that was your familiarity with the nearby terrain!]In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. He had explored the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains multiple times in previous simulations. Su Xing was quite clear about the distribution of forces in the core area. If the Descending Sect cadres fled into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, ordinary human clan cultivators might not dare to pursue, for fear of being attacked by demon cultivators. But for Su Xing, there were only a few demon cultivators in the mountains who could threaten him. Moreover, Su Xing knew several of the Demon Kings well and was very confident. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire "Ha-ha, flee into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains? There''s truly no escape there!" "In that case... I should be able to deal with the Descending Sect cadres easily!" "Blood Ninety-Nine and the other blood-named cadres are all at the Human Immortal Realm peak... The Yin-Yang Pill might be found!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s eyes turned to the simulation panel. [The group of cultivators chased to the outskirts of the core area of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains but did not dare to pursue further into the depths.] [You ignored everyone and chased the three peak Human Immortal Realm Descending Sect cadres alone.] Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Initially, the three Descending Sect cadres thought there was a large group of loose cultivators assisting in the chase.] [But as you continued deeper, they realized only you were pursuing, so they became bolder.] [You found it amusing in your heart, seeing the three peak Human Immortal Realm cadres stop. Without hesitation, you struck out with a sword.] [The Spirit Sword Mo Bing in your hand emitted a three-foot sword light. It was a simple and unadorned strike with not much sword light, straight towards one of the peak Human Immortal Realm cadres.] [This sword light contained the ultimate Sword Dao reaching the perfection of the origin of the sword, directly beheading one of the peak Human Immortal Realm cadres...] [After one sword strike, this Human Immortal Realm cadre fell. The other two Descending Sect cadres instantly exploded with escape speeds comparable to Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, fleeing toward the core area of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and felt somewhat embarrassed. "Damn, these evil cult cultivators... Leaving aside their attack methods, their life-saving abilities are absolutely top-notch!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. Counting all the evil cultivators he had encountered, especially the damned Zong as a representative, each ran faster than the last one. "But, it''s understandable, right?" "Being a villain also comes with pressure... Once performance is bad, you''ll be hunted by righteous cultivators. Those who run slow would probably be dead already!" Su Xing complained helplessly, turning his gaze to the simulation panel. [After killing this Descending Sect cadre, you took his storage magical treasure.] [As expected, you found a Yin-Yang Pill among his possessions, probably prepared for his breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm.] [At the same time, you also discovered an Identity Token marked with Blood Ninety-Seven.] [You put away the Yin-Yang Pill and then continued to pursue the remaining two Descending Sect cadres through sword flight.] [These two Descending Sect cadres evidently had notable life-saving experience, splitting up and escaping thousands of miles in an instant.] [You casually chose a direction to pursue and soon encountered Blood Ninety-Nine!] [Back then, Blood Ninety-Nine, who was at your mercy, now seemed as insignificant as an ant in your eyes.] [You saw his face filled with terror, hastily trying to escape.] [But in the face of absolute strength, the desire to survive became insignificant.] [You gently struck out with a sword, powerful origin of the sword enveloped, directly aiming at Blood Ninety-Nine''s head!] [One sword strike, and his head separated from his body...] [You successfully obtained Blood Ninety-Nine''s Identity Token, as well as another Yin-Yang Pill.] [To your disappointment, this Yin-Yang Pill''s quality was even less than that obtained from Blood Ninety-Seven.] [If you could get a top-grade Yin-Yang Pill, the chances of surviving the Yin-Yang Fire Tribulation would undoubtedly increase greatly!] [You did not hesitate any longer and pursued the last Descending Sect cadre.] [This pursuit led you to the core area of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.] [To your surprise, the Descending Sect cadre suddenly stopped in a horn-shaped mountain.] [Then he took out a Jade Slip, seemingly asking for help...] [You instantly felt a tightening in your heart. Could it be that the Descending Sect had inside connections among the demon cultivators in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains too?] [Indeed, it was just as you expected!] [Soon, a demon cultivator with a purple horn on his head and a body like a small mountain charged out...] [Your expression turned somewhat serious, for this was one of the thirty-six Demon Kings in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the Purple Ox Demon King!] [His power had reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm!] [And judging by the demeanor of the Descending Sect cadre, it was clear he knew the Purple Ox Demon King...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly. "The Descending Sect cadres... They had not only infiltrated the human race but even had moles among the demon cultivators?" Su Xing was slightly startled and then found it reasonable. After all, if there were moles among the human race, it made sense for demon cultivators to be bribed as well... "However, looking at it this way... the previous incidents make perfect sense! "Inside the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the swift disappearance of the thirty-six Demon Kings was due to the existence of moles among the demon cultivators..." "The Purple Ox Demon King, huh? I''ll remember... " Su Xing murmured, finding it useful information. In future simulations, perhaps it could be used. "But, a peak Earth Immortal Realm cultivator... With my current strength, can I contend with him?" Su Xing touched his chin, estimating that if he leveraged the "Unethical in Martial Conduct" talent, he might be able to successfully kill the Purple Ox Demon King. But it would require precise timing, as the "Unethical in Martial Conduct" talent could only be activated once. Chapter 293 Ten Years of Immersion, Half-step Earth Immortal Realm!_2 In the event that it was defined as not being in a sneak attack state, it wouldn''t trigger...Having thought of this, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [After the Purple Bull Demon King appeared, the cadres of the Descending Sect hid behind him.] [Just as you predicted, the Descending Sect had colluded with this Purple Bull Demon King!] [At the moment he saw you, the Purple Bull Demon King showed a look of surprise, but his face quickly turned displeased.] [It was clear that he knew he had been used, and his identity had been discovered by you...] [Although the Purple Bull Demon King was unhappy, he also knew that this matter must not be exposed. Otherwise, he would surely be hunted down by both Demon Cultivators and the Human Race.] [So, the Purple Bull Demon King launched an offensive towards you!] [His two horns on top of his head erupted with incredible power, rushing straight at you...] [This charge seemed capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth, causing the heavens to change color!] [A hint of interest appeared on your face...] [Ever since you advanced the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision to the second layer, you had never faced a strength-type cultivator.] [Now, facing a strength-type demon cultivator at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, you were eager to test your level.] [Relying solely on your physical body strength to defeat this Bull Demon head-on was probably impossible, but to ensure your safety, you were quite confident.] Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire [Thinking this, your eyes focused, your body released a burst of energy, and Origin Force instantly covered the surface of your body.] [After advancing to the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, your pure physical strength combined with Origin Force almost reached the power of ten Great Rivers...] [Breaking Mount Tai with a single punch... would not be an exaggeration!] [But the Bull Demon at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm was equally terrifying in strength!] [When the two forces collided, you felt as if you had slammed into a towering mountain.] [After letting out a shout, you held your ground, countering the Bull Demon at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm with sheer power.] [Boom! Instantly, terrifying brute force sliced through the air, distorting the surrounding space...] [Even more terrifying, the force reached the ground, causing it to collapse, creating cracks thousands of feet deep, stretching for miles, nearly severing the entire core area of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains in two...] [In an instant, several Great Rivers nearby flowed back into the heart of the mountains, while underground streams gushed out...], [Before your eyes, the surrounding landscape was about to be transformed, forming a new lake and river basin...] In reality, Su Xing raised an eyebrow as he observed this. "Sigh, the battles between powerful cultivators... are terrifying, aren''t they?" "With a wave of a hand, they can make the mountains crumble, reshape the terrain... unknowingly, I''ve also become a powerful cultivator!" Su Xing felt a bit emotional. He knew that the ability to crush a world with such power instantly was not something mere mana and physical strength could achieve. To suppress an entire world with the might of a single immortal... Perhaps reaching the Golden Immortal Phase and truly mastering a Great Dao Principle would be necessary to accomplish that? Su Xing shook his head slightly, realizing he was overthinking things. The key now was to deal with this Purple Bull Demon King. "Indeed, appearing weak to the enemy... always remains a good strategy!" Su Xing muttered, his gaze fixed on the simulation panel. [The Purple Bull Demon King was momentarily shocked by your incredible power, but his face quickly displayed a fanatical expression.] ["It''s been thousands of years since I''ve faced an enemy who could challenge my strength"] [The Purple Bull Demon King said domineeringly, his horns growing even thicker and longer, charging straight at you...] [Instantly, the Purple Bull Demon King''s power increased several folds, and you were taken aback, sent flying by the brute force, crashing into the ground tens of miles away, forming a large pit.] [You immediately activated your Body-Protecting Sword Aura combined with an Origin Force armor, protecting yourself firmly from injury...] [But even so, you felt a slight pain...] [However, this pain made you even more excited!] [A plan suddenly formed in your mind, and you activated the Heavenly Secrets Shielding Technique, concealing your aura.] [Sure enough, the Purple Bull Demon King took the bait!] [As a demon king at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, he ranked among the top three of the thirty-six demon kings within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!] [There wasn''t a single demon king who could confidently kill him...] [Under a Heavenly Immortal realm great demon, the Purple Bull Demon King had few enemies...] [Because of this, the Purple Bull Demon King''s arrogance grew even more!] [After sensing your gradually weakening aura, most of his vigilance immediately dissipated, thinking that you had lost most of your combat power under that strike...] [Thus, he prepared to come down to inspect...] [As the Purple Bull Demon King approached, you activated 1,900 Body-Protecting Sword Auras combined with your "Unethical in Martial Conduct" talent, launching your strongest attack!] [This strike, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, aimed at the vital points of the Purple Bull Demon King!] [The Purple Bull Demon King, after all, was a cultivator at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, reacting just before the Sword Aura reached him...] [But, he was half a step too slow!] [The swarming Sword Aura left countless deep bone-visible wounds on the Purple Bull Demon King''s body... hitting several vital points...] [The Purple Bull Demon King, in pain, had bloodshot eyes, losing part of his sanity.] [But the Purple Bull Demon King, after all, was a demon king at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, his vitality frightfully robust...] S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Even after taking your combined Body-Protecting Sword Aura attack, he didn''t die immediately. Though his aura weakened considerably and his strength quickly dropped, he still survived.] [However, you wouldn''t miss this opportunity to further beat the downed opponent!] [In this situation, you once again engaged in a fierce battle with the Purple Bull Demon King...] Chapter 293 Ten Years of Immersion, Half-step Earth Immortal Realm!_3 [This battle lasted for hundreds of rounds!][In the end, the Purple Bull Demon King was worn out and died at your hands...] [You killed a peak Earth Immortal Realm cultivator!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and took a deep breath, a bit of surprise in his eyes. "Now, my strength has already reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm!" "Tsk tsk, Body-Protecting Sword Aura combined with being unethical in martial conduct... it really defies reason!" "Moreover, the power of the Body-Protecting Sword Aura has yet to reach its peak. When my understanding of the Great Sword Dao deepens, and the number of Sword Auras increases... maybe even the Heavenly Immortal Realm won''t be out of reach!" At this moment, Su Xing felt an endless surge of pride in his heart. A Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator was a prominent figure in all the Three Thousand Worlds! In most Minor Thousand Worlds, the Heavenly Immortal Realm was already considered the highest level... Even in a vast power like the Qingyun Sect, a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator could become an elder! "This is far from the limit!" "Currently, I still have a long way to go with my Grand Witch Body Refining Decision... and my Qi Refining Cultivation has not yet risen to the Earth Immortal Realm!" "If the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision is cultivated to the Mahayana Level, the potential will be even more terrifying!" Thinking of this, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. According to his estimation, Red Moon''s strength might only be at the True Immortal or Profound Immortal Realm, definitely not at the Golden Immortal Realm! And as for Su Xing, wasn''t he close to this realm as well? "But Qing Yunzi''s strength..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, feeling that he was still far behind Qing Yunzi! That was a being who had slain one or two Three Corpses, surpassing Great Luo, and close to the Semi-Saint level! Even though Qing Yunzi was in seclusion, Su Xing was far from being able to match him... Not to mention, Qing Yunzi was the ancestor of the Qingyun Sect, commanding countless powerful individuals, where any one True Immortal could easily defeat Su Xing. Previously, Su Xing had sold information about Qing Yunzi to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, partly to test Qing Yunzi''s strength. But the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, a giant power, had no intentions regarding Qing Yunzi. Not to mention Su Xing, a mere Human Immortal Realm "small fry"? "After all, cultivation realm is the foundation!" "If I can obtain the Yin-Yang Pill this time, I can attempt to break through and cross the Yang Fire Calamity..." Su Xing looked forward to it, his gaze turning to the simulation panel. [After slaying the Purple Bull Demon King, you immediately pursued the Earth Immortal Realm peak cadre of the Descending Sect.] Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire [After spending several hours, you successfully found him and captured him alive!] [From his storage ring, you found a token marked with Blood Seventy-Nine! And a top-quality Yin-Yang Pill!] [You didn''t choose to kill him directly because killing the Purple Bull Demon King might trigger a battle and split between the human race and the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. At this time, both races still needed to unite to fight against the foreign race!] [You took Blood Seventy-Nine back to the loose cultivator gathering place in White Emperor City...] [Sure enough, three days later, a Heavenly Immortal Realm great demon came to question the death of the Purple Bull Demon King.] [As a result, a hidden Human Immortal Realm cultivator showed up to confront them face to face.] [When you presented concrete evidence of the Purple Bull Demon King''s collusion with the Descending Sect, the Heavenly Immortal Realm great demon immediately retreated speechlessly...] [Not only were you not reprimanded, but you also received a considerable extra reward.] [In the thirty-fourth year, you returned to White Emperor City to continue studying the Three Talents Sword Technique.] [In the same year, after settling your family and friends, you headed to the Blackwater Realm...] [Riding the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, you traversed several spatial nodes and arrived at the Blackwater Realm smoothly.] [By then, there was still a year left before the emergence of the Secret Realm.] [You continued to cultivate peacefully...] [In the thirty-fifth year, the Secret Realm emerged, and you successfully obtained 180 All-Encompassing Flowers, killing several evil cultivators of the Descending Sect in the process...] [After finishing all this, you were ready to leave the Blackwater Realm and head to the Yellow Sand Realm!] [In the same year, riding the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, you easily reached the Yellow Sand Realm.] [Upon arriving in the Yellow Sand Realm, you did not rush to the Yang Fire Calamity area but continued to comprehend the Three Talents Sword Technique.] [This cultivation lasted for twenty years!] [In the fifty-fifth year, you felt that you were close to completely understanding the Great Sword Dao, but there was still some distance...] [The fusion of the Three Talents Sword Technique was stuck at the final bottleneck!] [You had no choice but to continue cultivating, refining your comprehension of the Great Dao...] [Thus, another twenty-five years passed.] [In the blink of an eye, it was the eightieth year!] [In these years, your late-blooming talent finally took effect; you felt your cultivation speed for the Three Talents Sword Technique had increased significantly...] [But there was always a slight lack, the comprehension of entering the Dao through the sword remained elusive...] [With no other option, you took a Spirit Awakening Pill to combine with the Great Wisdom State and your late-blooming talent, attacking the Sword Dao!] [Quickly, a month passed!] [Finally, on the last day, you successfully penetrated the mystery, entering the Dao through the sword!] [Congratulations, you comprehended the Three Talents Sword Technique... understanding the Great Sword Dao to the embryonic stage!] Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the real world, Su Xing saw this and exhaled a long breath. "Simulated for eighty years... plus a Spirit Awakening Pill, equivalent to twenty years of arduous cultivation, and only then did I finally comprehend the Great Sword Dao!" "Even then, it was under the dual blessings of my Innate Sword Body and acquired Taoist Body..." "If a sword cultivator of average aptitude tried this, how much time would it take?" Su Xing sighed softly. Cultivation required testing aptitudes... and for sword cultivators, this was even more necessary! Cultivators with low or even mediocre aptitude would have been eliminated long before achieving immortality... Chapter 293 Ten Years of Immersion, Half-step Earth Immortal Realm!_4 But even those sword cultivators with superior sword Dao aptitude would need thousands of years to break through this barrier and merge their sword with the Dao!"However... being a sword cultivator means wielding formidable suppression power within the same realm!" Su Xing''s lips turned up slightly. Although a sword cultivator wasn''t invincible within the same realm, it was extremely rare for anyone of the same level to defeat them. To be a sword cultivator inherently meant a form of suppression! Ordinary cultivators, even those of genius level, would be reluctant to engage in combat with a sword cultivator of the same realm! In short, all sword cultivators were maniacs! "It is better to go for it straightforwardly than to take roundabout ways!" Sword cultivators often fought putting their lives on the line... Even if those genius cultivators could win, they would likely suffer indelible scars and naturally avoid fighting a sword cultivator. "However, for me, achieving sword cultivation and becoming a sword immortal... the greatest significance lies in the upper limit of my body-protecting sword aura being raised!" "Two thousand strands of body-protecting sword aura is now far from the limit... If I continue to enhance my cultivation, even cultivators at the Heavenly Immortal realm could be threatened!" Su Xing was very satisfied; half of this simulation''s goal had been completed. Next was attempting to pass through the Yin-Yang Fire Tribulation. Su Xing stroked his chin, recalling the specific process of overcoming the "Three Calamities of Immortality." Among them, the Yin-Yang Fire Calamity was the most crucial checkpoint for breaking through from the Human Immortal Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm. Cleansing the internal organs with the Yin-Yang Fire, purging the impurities. This process was often long and difficult to undertake simultaneously. Yang Fire enhanced the internal organs, improving the cultivator''s internal refinement. Yin Fire purged the impurities, enhancing aptitude. "The current difficulty is that the place contains both Yin and Yang fires simultaneously... making it challenging to undergo long-term baptism!" Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing frowned slightly, thought for a while, but could not come up with a perfect plan. The only way was to undergo baptism of one fire first, half a day at a time, accumulating gradually. "Alas, that is the only way!" Su Xing took a deep breath, but fortunately, after taking the Yin-Yang Pill, the benefits would be lifelong, without any time limitations. Otherwise, just collecting the Yin-Yang Pills would take Su Xing a lifetime to accomplish... Having a plan in mind, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [After achieving sword cultivation and becoming a sword immortal, you did not slack off...] [You quickly headed to Huangsha City, where you stayed for a few days before heading to the rumored birthplace of the Yin-Yang Fire...] [You took the Yin-Yang Pill, entered the perilous area, and felt the damage from the Yin-Yang Fire lessen significantly. However, the benefits for the constitution''s baptism were as strong as ever.] [After a moment of contemplation, you decided to undergo the baptism of the Yang Fire first!] [Every day during the day, you went to the place of Yang Fire, using the extreme heat for the baptism of your internal organs...] Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire [At first, you felt some discomfort, the heat was unbearable. But as the Yang Fire baptism continued, your body''s resistance grew significantly.] [At night, you would leave the perilous Yin-Yang Fire area and return to Huangsha City.] [Out at dawn, back at dusk...] [For the next thirty years, it was the same routine!] [In the 110th year, after thirty years of persistent cultivation, you felt your understanding of the Great Dao of Fire further deepening!] [The Yang Fire constantly cleansing your internal organs, you felt you were not far from fully overcoming the Yang Fire Calamity.] [Your aptitude also grew somewhat during this process.] [Thus, another ten years passed...] [In the 120th year, one day, you had an epiphany, a certain shackle inside you seemed to have been broken...] [You knew that you had smoothly passed through the Yang Fire Calamity!] [Only the Yin Fire purification was left to fully pass the Yin-Yang Fire Calamity, allowing you to ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm!] [A cultivator who has undergone the baptism of one fire but has not fully passed the Yin-Yang Fire Calamity is also known ashalf-step Earth Immortal Realm!] In the real world, Su Xing paused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. "So... the half-step Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level has appeared after all!" Su Xing sighed, but he could understand. For a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator to become an immortal, they must pass through the Five Trials of Immortality Transformation. In comparison, the Yin-Yang Fire Calamity seemed much simpler. "Never mind... Based on this time frame, I should be able to fully ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm in the next simulation!" "Moreover, there is the body-protecting sword aura that needs further cultivation..." Su Xing thought to himself, his gaze shifting back to the simulation panel. "But I can''t waste the time that follows either!" Su Xing muttered, silently reciting: "Use immersive simulation for ten years!" [Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation for ten years, remaining Origin Energy Source 127,583 points...] Su Xing''s vision shifted, and he found himself in a city. The main city of the Yellow Sand Realm, Huangsha City! "Whew... With the Great Talent Maturing Late and Great Wisdom in Foolishness talents still active for over seven years, it amounts to roughly a sixfold increase in cultivation speed!" "This means that ten years of immersive simulation... equates to about forty-five years of hard cultivation!" A strange light flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. This was his first time choosing such a long duration for immersive simulation. The aim was to quickly elevate his body-protecting sword aura to a higher realm! In comparison, the 3,600 plus Origin Energy Source points seemed like a cost Su Xing could bear. "Since that''s the case, let''s officially begin cultivating!" Su Xing took a deep breath, officially preparing to comprehend the body-protecting sword aura... In the first year, Su Xing''s body-protecting sword aura increased by thirty strands, accumulating a total of 1,930 strands! In the third year, Su Xing''s body-protecting sword aura reached two thousand strands! In the seventh year, the number of body-protecting sword aura strands was 2,150 strands! In the tenth year... the immersive simulation ended! The number of body-protecting sword aura strands Su Xing possessed finally settled at 2,200 strands! When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he had returned to the real world. A trace of bewilderment inevitably flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. Having spent ten years in immersive simulation, it was equivalent to Su Xing truly living in that simulation timeline for ten years! During those ten years, Su Xing only did one thing, cultivate the body-protecting sword aura! Even with Su Xing''s disposition, the monotony felt somewhat unbearable... "Whew... Ten years, finally over!" Su Xing took a deep breath, recollecting the dusty memories, and verified his current time point. "I am now... still in the simulation..." Going over his pre-immersive simulation memories, Su Xing rubbed his temples and murmured: "Immersive simulation... really is quite hard to endure, huh?" "This rushed ten-year passage of time... is a significant mental challenge as well!" "Perhaps learning a memory-sealing technique will be necessary in the future!" For Su Xing, a month of immersive simulation was not particularly long. But ten years... was indeed too long... Even though an immortal''s memory wouldn''t fade like a mortal''s, there would still be a sense of unfamiliarity. After adjusting for a moment, Su Xing adapted his mindset and looked back at the simulation panel. [After passing the Yang Fire Trial, you knew that your cultivation level was hard to advance further and thus trained in body-protecting sword aura...] [After ten years of cultivation, your body-protecting sword aura reached 2,200 strands!] [The power of the body-protecting sword aura further increased!] [In the 130th year, one day you had a premonition, a massive sense of crisis surged...] Chapter 294 Su Xings Sword Dao, The Sword of Safety! [First Update] [The next day, Qing Yunzi attacked...][No matter how much you explained, even if you offered the Diagram of Wishful Visualization, Qing Yunzi still performed a Soul Search on you...] [Your consciousness gradually dissipated...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing shook his head slightly. "What a pity, with my current strength, simulating for one hundred and thirty years might be the limit... In the future, with greater strength, I should be able to further extend the simulation..." "It has been proven that befriending Qing Yunzi is not feasible... The key is to increase my cultivation level!" Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the simulation panel. [Inborn Unique Meridian]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 points Origin Energy Source. [Three Calamities of an ImmortalYang Fire Calamity]: One of the Three Calamities of an Immortal, the baptism of Yang Fire Calamity in the Yin Yang Two Fire Calamity. After experiencing it, it can cleanse the five viscera and six bowels and strengthen the Immortal Physique. If one passes the Yin Yang Fire Calamity, one can achieve the Earth Immortal Realm! Price: 10,000 points Origin Energy Source [All-Encompassing Flower 180 stalks]: Heaven and Earth Treasure, has the effect of attracting Vital Energy and refining Origin Force. Price: 18,000 points Origin Energy Source. [Comprehension of the Great Sword Dao (Embryonic Form)]: Entering the Dao with the sword, achieving the Sword Immortal. Requires the cultivation of more profound swordsmanship to further improve. Price: 30,000 points Origin Energy Source. Looking at the simulation rewards in front of him, Su Xing felt a bit conflicted. The Inborn Unique Meridian talent was temporarily abandoned by Su Xing. In the future, if he no longer needs elixirs for Qi Refinement, he might consider using it. As for the All-Encompassing Flower, Su Xing intended to bring it out once to ensure sufficient Earth Origin Pills for the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, but not now. "In the end, the most crucial thing right now is to achieve the Earth Immortal Realm and further enhance my strength!" Su Xing murmured, then decisively said: "I choose the Three Calamities of an Immortal... and the Comprehension of the Great Sword Dao!" [You successfully brought out the comprehension of the Yang Fire Calamity, one of the Three Calamities of an Immortal, costing 10,000 points Origin Energy Source. Remaining Origin Energy Source: 117,583 points...] [You successfully brought out the Comprehension of the Great Sword Dao, costing 30,000 points Origin Energy Source. Remaining Origin Energy Source: 87,583 points...] As the simulation prompt sound faded, two streams of mysterious energy poured into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing first felt his five viscera and six bowels being cleansed, a slight heat within his body, which finally settled into calm... In just a moment! The Yin Yang Fire Calamity, Yang Fire Calamity, was successfully passed! At the same time, Su Xing''s mind was flooded with a vast amount of comprehension regarding the Sword Dao, his Sword Intent soaring to a new level! From the Origin of the Sword to the Great Sword Dao, it was a qualitative leap! Sitting cross-legged, Su Xing quietly comprehended for a moment before slowly standing up. With a thought, 2,200 Body-Protecting Sword Auras surrounded Su Xing. "The Great Sword Dao... Even though it''s just an embryonic form, the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras I can control has greatly increased..." "But the Sword Dao is different from other Great Dao Principles, it almost never naturally occurs in the Cultivation World, it can only be comprehended through studying swordsmanship or similar methods?" Su Xing murmured. To further improve his Body-Protecting Sword Aura, he might need to make another trip to the Luo Tian Sect. "There''s no rush... The embryonic form of the Great Sword Dao is temporarily sufficient, swiftly reaching the Earth Immortal Realm is the key!" Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing glanced at the time, then began to disguise and conceal his aura. Moments later, Su Xing completed the transaction successfully, obtaining 20,000 points of Origin Energy Source. Over the next week, Su Xing repaired three Divinity Transformation Stage puppets in the Spirit Field Cave. On September 23, Su Xing made a trip to the Xianwu World, retrieving newly mined alien metal ores for the week. As Su Xing''s comprehension of the Great Sword Dao improved, the speed of his Sword Control Technique increased by a full fifty percent! Now, Su Xing could travel a million miles in just eight hours using the Sword Flight! The speed of the Sword Control Technique was not only related to the mastery of Divine Skills and one''s own cultivation level... The more important factor was the comprehension of the Sword Dao! With the drastic improvement in the speed of the Sword Control Technique, Su Xing''s travels to various instance worlds and other countries became much faster. This saved Su Xing a lot of effort. After obtaining the alien metal ores, Su Xing went to the villa to meet Jin Congxue. After completing the transaction, Su Xing did not linger but directly returned to the Spirit Field Cave. Su Xing was already impatient to start a new round of simulation. He once again entered the Luo Tian Instance! As soon as the cooldown period ended, Su Xing started the simulation immediately! "Start the simulation!" [The 105th simulation begins, currently remaining Origin Energy Source: 133,276 points... Remaining simulation attempts: none.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point Origin Energy Source, do you want to draw?] "Yes!" Su Xing muttered. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent Innate Tide Body. The probability of drawing the Golden Talent next time is 70%...] [Innate Tide Body]: Purple Talent, you were born with more water content in your body, making your comprehension of water-based Spiritual Energy higher than average. Su Xing: "..." Seriously, this physique feels a bit strange? Su Xing rolled his eyes. Instead of using it himself, maybe gifting this physique to someone else would be more beneficial? Su Xing pondered. Shaking his head, Su Xing muttered: "Oh well, let''s officially start the simulation!" [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating...] [Ten days later, you went to the Luo Tian Sect Instance!] "Use the Immersive Simulation..." Su Xing muttered. [Ding...] In the next second, Su Xing''s vision altered and he appeared in the Luo Tian Instance. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Familiar with the Luo Tian Sect''s grand hall, Su Xing completed the task process and returned to his master Luo Qingniu''s side, asking: "Master, this disciple has merged the Three Talents Sword Technique into one and has entered the Dao with the sword. It cannot grow any further. Is there a path beyond the Sword Immortal?" After hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Qingniu remained silent for a moment before saying: Chapter 294 Su Xings Sword Dao, The Sword of Safety! [First Update]_2 "The path of the Sword Immortal, I don''t know much about it either... But what I can be sure of is, all sword cultivators, upon reaching the Sword Immortal Realm, must forge their own path!"Their own path? Su Xing froze for a moment, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Luo Qingniu nodded and said: "All Sword Immortals in the world, the swords they cultivate, are all cultivated for themselves!" "If you cultivate the Sword Dao, there is no pre-existing path to follow... You must explore it on your own!" Hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow. Explore on my own... Although Su Xing had plenty of time in the simulation, if he had to explore on his own, the efficiency would definitely not be as fast as learning pre-existing swordsmanship! Seeing the thoughts in Su Xing''s mind, Luo Qingniu said: "You have extraordinary talent, Xiao Chuan... But the most important thing for a sword cultivator is not talent, but character!" "In our Luo Tian Sect, there was once a patriarch, a sword cultivator... He reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm but fought against Daluo Golden Immortals without defeat!" Hearing this, Su Xing''s eyes instantly brightened. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire Taiyi Sword Immortal, fighting against Daluo Golden Immortals! This swordsmanship, Su Xing could definitely learn it! After all, the sword was just one of Su Xing''s many means. Even if he could only attain Daluo-level combat power, Su Xing would be satisfied... With Daluo strength, Su Xing''s simulation could be greatly extended, giving him ample time to increase his cultivation level... Thinking this way, Su Xing asked: "Master, what about the swordsmanship of that Taiyi patriarch..." Luo Qingniu shook his head slightly and said: "I said, Sword Immortals do not have cultivation techniques..." "However, that patriarch did leave behind the path he walked..." Saying this, Luo Qingniu took out an ancient book that resembled a diary and handed it to Su Xing, saying: "If you have time, you can comprehend the methods of the patriarch to cultivate your own Sword Dao!" Su Xing nodded slightly, took the ancient book, and began to read. It was indeed a diary, recording only the circumstances of the patriarch''s sword practice. Su Xing had an astounding memory and quickly finished reading the diary, showing a hint of astonishment on his face. This Sword Immortal patriarch practiced the sword for hundreds of thousands of years! This diary did not introduce any sword moves or techniques. What it contained were merely his lifetime experiences! But this patriarch, from the day he learned the sword, never left it for the rest of his life... From his life''s trajectory, Su Xing roughly summarized four key points: First, nurturing the sword! Using one''s own Sword Dao insights to nourish the sword in hand! Nurturing the sword had no time limit; strictly speaking, a sword cultivator''s entire life was about nurturing the sword. The longer the nurturing time, the more in tune a sword cultivator became with their sword, and the more terrifying the power they could wield! Second, killing the enemy! Using a pure sword to kill the enemy, disregarding all sword moves, swordsmanship, even Sword Qi Barrier and Sword Intent! This Taiyi Sword Immortal fought countless battles, killing enemies in the billions... In these continuous battles, he enhanced his understanding of the sword! Third, Sword Qi and Sword Qi Barrier! Using Sword Qi and Sword Qi Barrier as means to sever anything in the world that cannot be severed! Once, this Taiyi Sword Immortal practiced Sword Qi to a level where one sword strike could sever a Middle Thousand Worlds! Fourth, Sword Intent! Using one''s own Sword Dao will to choose one''s path... On this point, that patriarch walked the path of the Invincible Sword Intent! This required absolute confidence in one''s own strength and absolute will! "Forging one''s own path, huh..." Su Xing was thoughtful, seeing an extreme pursuit of the sword in this patriarch''s Sword Dao. Throughout his life, he only cultivated the sword; perhaps it was for this reason that he could walk the Invincible Sword Dao? "Invincible Sword Dao... Is it suitable for me?" Su Xing took a deep breath, then shook his head. Undoubtedly, it was not suitable for Su Xing. When Su Xing''s strength was weak, in previous simulations, he encountered too many powerful enemies. Even in the simulations... Su Xing had been defeated before, unable to be called invincible. "Then... what is the Sword Dao I seek?" Su Xing closed his eyes in deep thought. After a long time, a term appeared in his mind. Safety! The path Su Xing walked was the path of safety! What he pursued was nothing more than his own ultimate safety! But... how to achieve this Sword Dao? Su Xing suddenly smiled and murmured: "If all your enemies are gone... wouldn''t that be safe?" "The Sword Dao I seek is to protect myself and those I love!" "Under my sword, all who fall are enemies!" In that instant, Su Xing seemed to feel that his Sword Intent and Sword Dao had undergone a great sublimation! Su Xing had found his own Sword Dao, safety! ... After finding his own Sword Dao, Su Xing did not leave immediately but went to the Scripture Pavilion, hoping to find a secret technique to seal parts of his memory. This was to prevent prolonged immersive simulations from causing some confusion in Su Xing''s memory. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing arrived at the seventh layer of the Scripture Pavilion, and after much searching, finally found an immortal technique. Binding Memory Technique! The effect of this technique was simple, sealing one''s own or another''s memory. Of course, sealing one''s own memory was simple, but to seal another''s memory, either consent was needed to ensure the other person''s Divine Soul was completely open, or the practitioner''s strength had to far exceed the target''s to forcibly seal it! Practicing this immortal technique was not easy for Su Xing; after spending most of the day, he only managed to memorize this secret technique without mastering it. ... Immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality. "Phew... The Binding Memory Technique! Truly wonderful! This is perfect for sealing parts of my memory!" Su Xing murmured, then recalled the Sword Dao he had found: "Pursuing safety... is even harder than pursuing invincibility!" Chapter 294 Su Xings Sword Dao, The Sword of Safety! [First Update]_3 "To ensure safety, one must be invincible in this world!"Su Xing took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination as he looked at the simulation panel. [After leaving Luo Tian, you found your own Sword Daothe Safety Dao!] [This Sword Dao might be more challenging than any before... but you did not cower!] [So next, you chose to continue cultivating on Blue Star.] [Ten years of grinding a sword, time flew by.] [In the tenth year, the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras you comprehended reached two thousand four hundred!] [In the same year, you went to the Beast Taming Realm to eliminate hidden dangers.] [To seek the opportunity to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm as soon as possible, you decided to go to the Little Qingyun Realm!] [You contacted the Great Xia Military, but at that time, the Foreign Race''s offensive was still weak, and the Demon-Subduing Pass remained strong.] [Therefore, you took your family and friends, placed them in the Spirit Field Cave, and left Blue Star.] [After passing through the Alternate Space, you arrived in the Little Qingyun Realm.] [At this time, it was only the tenth year of the simulation, and the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm was still favorable, with the Foreign Race at a disadvantage.] [You went to White Emperor City and sold the prior intelligence, including the information about the Violet Bull Demon King.] [In the twelfth year, White Emperor City secretly gathered loose cultivators to prepare for the eradication of major Descending Sect strongholds.] [You infiltrated, went to the valley gathering place, and prepared to eliminate the Descending Sect officials.] [Since you took action in advance, the three peak Human Immortal Realm officials did not even have time to escape to the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.] [You successfully obtained a top-grade Yin-Yang Pill, but you did not plan to go to the Yellow Sand Realm to endure the three Immortal Tribulations.] [Before that, you had more important matters to attend to.] [After settling your family and friends, you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to the Blackwater Realm.] [For more than twenty years, you remained in the Blackwater Realm, cultivating the Zhengyi Submission Decision, hoping to trigger an accidental enlightenment...] [In the thirty-fifth year, you entered a secret realm, killed Descending Sect officials, and obtained one hundred and eighty All-Encompassing Flowers!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "What a pity, no accidental enlightenment occurred... but fortunately, the All-Encompassing Flowers were obtained!" Indeed, in this simulation, besides breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm, another important goal for Su Xing was to find a way to obtain the All-Encompassing Flowers! Previously, Su Xing drew a "Double-Edged Sword" talent, an Inborn Unique Meridian. Unable to use elixirs for cultivation, but it could double his cultivation speed! Therefore, after breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm, Su Xing prepared to charge towards the perfection of the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision as his first priority! If he could successfully cultivate the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision to perfection, Su Xing could then turn to refining his Qi cultivation level and use the Inborn Unique Meridian to quickly enhance his Qi cultivation level. Of course, if he could successfully cultivate the Zhengyi Submission Decision to the third layer, that would be ideal as well. If not, Su Xing would not force it. "One hundred and eighty All-Encompassing Flowers, enough to refine hundreds of Earth Origin Pills, and with the ones obtained in subsequent simulations, there would be over a thousand Earth Origin Pills!" "This quantity should be enough..." Su Xing murmured. Over a thousand Earth Origin Pills, taking one pill per month, should be enough for him to cultivate the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision for more than a hundred years. With this in mind, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the simulation panel. [After obtaining the All-Encompassing Flowers, you did not refine them into elixirs.] [You decided to leave this realm immediately and head to the Yellow Sand Realm!] [After nearly two months of traversing The Void, you safely arrived in the Yellow Sand Realm!] [You went to a desolate area, preparing to break through the final Yin Fire Disaster!] [If you could successfully overcome this disaster, you would be able to elevate your cultivation level to the Earth Immortal Realm...] [Yin Fire, after sunset, this place''s temperature would drop sharply, making it difficult for ordinary immortals to withstand!] [After taking the Yin-Yang Pill, you felt much better and would head into the Yin Fire Disaster every day after sunset to cleanse yourself.] [The Yin Fire, as it pierced through your limbs and bones, would increase your intrinsic accumulations...] [This cultivation lasted thirty-five years!] [In the seventieth year, the Yin Fire''s baptism on your body had mostly completed, requiring only time to accumulate.] [During these decades, you also accumulated a full five-year effect of the Great Wisdom State.] [Thus, another ten years passed.] Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the eightieth year, you activated the Great Talent Maturing Late ability three years ago, doubling your cultivation speed!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and did not hesitate, decisively saying: "Use Immersive Simulation for a duration of 10 years!" [Ding, you successfully used Immersive Simulation, remaining energy: 129,432 points...] As the simulation prompt sounded, Su Xing appeared in the simulated world. The first thing he did was practice the Memory Sealing Technique! This technique was a necessity for long-term immersive simulations! The Memory Sealing Technique was extremely mysterious, not only capable of locking memories within a specific period. It could even fix certain memories for extraction at a suitable time. Su Xing took a Spirit Awakening Pill, activated his Great Wisdom State, and prepared to practice the Memory Sealing Technique! On the tenth day of the immersive simulation, Su Xing finally mastered the Memory Sealing Technique! Immediately afterward, Su Xing chose to lock and fix his recent memories to ensure that he could remain sensitive to memories and time after leaving the immersive simulation. After making the preparations, Su Xing officially began his cultivation. Su Xing''s first choice was still the Zhengyi Submission Decision! Thus, ten years passed in the blink of an eye... Su Xing returned to the real world, his eyes a bit dazed, but he soon realized something and immediately used the Memory Sealing Technique! Next, a flood of memories came back, and Su Xing regained the memory points from before the immersive simulation. "Whew... ten years of immersion is equivalent to thirty or forty years of hard cultivation. The third layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision is still out of reach!" (After struggling for several hours, I only managed to write five thousand words; there''s another chapter to be posted tomorrow during the day~ Goodnight~) Chapter 295 Finally Entering the Earth Immortal Realm, Strange Star Realm! [Second Update] Su Xing slightly shook his head.The third layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision required consuming the qi of the four seasons. Only on the days of the start of spring, summer, autumn, and winter could cultivation progress rapidly. On ordinary days, though progress was possible, it was far slower than on those four days. Therefore, advancing to the third layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision demanded a lot of time and effort. "At this pace, I might need several simulations... or hundreds of years in an immersive simulation to master the third layer?" Su Xing slightly shook his head. Since the Zhengyi Submission Decision could not currently progress to the third layer, he decided to go all out for the Yin Fire Calamity instead! There were forty years remaining in the simulation, enough time to pass through the Yin-Yang Fire Calamity and break through to the Earth Immortal realm! With this thought, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [In the ninetieth year, after cultivating the Zhengyi Submission Decision for ten years with slow progress, you decided to break through to the Earth Immortal realm with all your might!] [Quickly, ten years passed...] [In the hundredth year, aided by your late bloomer potential, your speed in surviving the Yin Fire Calamity doubled.] [As you continued cultivating and constantly underwent hair shedding and marrow cleansing, your aptitude further improved.] [This cleansing didn''t enhance the quality of your spiritual root; you''re still a tri-variant Heavenly Spirit Root. But you felt your ability to absorb spiritual energy and your bone structure improved significantly...] [The improvement in your aptitude and bone structure delighted you, so you went to a desolate place every night after sunset to undergo hair shedding and marrow cleansing.] [You persisted for twenty years.] Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the hundred and twentieth year, you felt something within; your internal organs, bones, and aptitude were nearing perfection.] [You were only one step away from passing through the Yin-Yang Fire Calamity...] [So you didn''t hesitate and launched the final sprint towards the Earth Immortal realm!] [This seclusion lasted for three years!] [In the hundred and twenty-third year, you felt your internal mana continually expanded.] [Within a few days, the river symbolizing your mana was ten lengths wide!] [Compared to the peak of the Human Immortal realm, your internal mana was twice as thick!] [More importantly, the quality of your immortal power appeared to improve slightly.] [The sky where you secluded gathered thunderclouds that never dispersed; this was a phenomenon of an immortal breaking through a major realm.] [Unlike the Heavenly Tribulation during the tribulation crossing, the breakthrough from the Human Immortal to the Earth Immortal realm required only passing through the Yin-Yang Fire Calamity without surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.] [This phenomenon signaled the birth of a new Earth Immortal realm cultivator in this world!] [At this moment, everyone within a radius of ten thousand miles knew that a new Earth Immortal realm cultivator was being born here!] [And you, too, felt surges of excitement as you solidified your internal cultivation.] [Congratulations, you have become an early-stage Earth Immortal realm cultivator!] [After breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm, you felt many probing auras around you. Many immortals were curious about the identity of this new Earth Immortal realm cultivator.] [Not wanting to create too much of a stir, you quickly retracted your aura and flew away on your sword...] [After reaching a desolate area, you tried circulating your internal mana.] [Due to your solid foundation, although you were only in the early stage of the Earth Immortal realm, your internal mana was already near the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm!] [Your thick mana gave you an edge when performing arts and divine skills... your internal immortal power flowed endlessly.] In the real world, seeing this, a smile appeared on Su Xing''s face. "With my Qi Refining cultivation, I''ve successfully entered the Earth Immortal realm... coupled with the entry-level second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, my current strength should be unrivaled under the Heavenly Immortal realm, right?" "Perhaps... even against a Heavenly Immortal realm expert, I might still have a fighting chance!" Su Xing carefully pondered the cards he currently held. Besides dual cultivation of body and qi refinement, Su Xing also had impressive insights into the Great Dao, with his spirit domain taking initial shape. Especially his grasp of the Great Dao of Space, which was a Heavenly Immortal''s technique. Unfortunately, Su Xing''s strength increased too rapidly, and for those Heavenly Immortal realm cultivators, a nascent spirit domain was unimpressive. Su Xing''s strongest offensive techniques remained the Body-Protecting Sword Aura and the Five Elements Burst Technique! Su Xing estimated that if he expended a third of his internal immortal power and combined it with the fire and wood Great Daos, he could inflict serious injury on a peak Earth Immortal realm cultivator in one burst. The Body-Protecting Sword Aura, with two thousand two hundred strands, was formidable within the Earth Immortal realm without a doubt. The only downside was that Su Xing did not have an art or divine skill that could directly threaten or seriously injure a Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator. Perhaps when the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras increased to over three thousand, he might manage it? "Huff but now the simulation has reached the hundred and twenty-third year!" "According to previous experience, Qing Yunzi will find this world in seven years... perhaps I could try to flee to another realm?" Su Xing closed his eyes in contemplation. Currently, his cultivation had reached the early stage of the Earth Immortal realm, and his mana was comparable to that of the mid-stage. With the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Su Xing felt confident traveling to the small worlds within ten void nodes. "Perhaps it''s time to visit the Star Realm?" Su Xing murmured. The Star Realm was thirteen void nodes away from Little Qingyun Realm, but only ten void nodes from the Yellow Sand Realm. If he gave it a try, it might be possible! Staying in the Yellow Sand Realm would only mean living a few more years in hiding. It would be better to visit the Star Realm; he might gain further insight into the situation of the Three Thousand Worlds, and at worst, it would delay Qing Yunzi''s pursuit. With this thought, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [After breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm, you did not hesitate and prepared to head to the Star Realm.] [But first, you needed to find the corresponding void node in the Yellow Sand Realm.] [It took you three years to locate the void node to the Star Realm in the central region of the Yellow Sand Realm, thanks to your amazing perception.] [You prepared many supplies and spiritual liquid and spirit stones to ensure the success of your journey through the void.] [Thus, you drove the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and entered the void.] [With previous experience piloting it, you did not rush; instead of focusing on speed, you prioritized stability and mana reserve.] [After twenty days, you passed through the first void node.] [Your internal immortal power was less than half-depleted, and you continued navigating towards the Star Realm while driving the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat.] [Three months passed like this...] [In over three months, you traversed six void nodes, consuming a massive amount of immortal power to maintain the boat''s stability.] [However, after these three months, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat suffered minor damage.] [Fortunately, your current cultivation was at the Earth Immortal realm, and your mana was far denser than before. Surviving the Yin-Yang Fire Calamity enhanced your control and recovery of immortal power.] [You gritted your teeth and persisted, and two more months passed...] [Finally, after two months, you passed through the ninth void node, leaving only one void node distance to the Star Realm.] [At this point, your internal mana had been mostly exhausted, and your immortal power started to become chaotic.] [Long-term travel in the void was extremely detrimental to cultivators, which is why few attempted such journeys.] [You gritted your teeth and persevered, and after another twenty days passed...] [At last, you successfully reached the edge of the Star Realm. The Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, after some shaking, finally arrived in the Star Realm...] [At this time, it was night in the Star Realm. The Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat landed on a plain.] [You exited the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and immediately adjusted your internal mana...] [Half a year of travel had heavily disrupted your cultivation aura; even the immortal power river within you seemed polluted by strange substances from the void...] [This wasn''t the first time you''d experienced such things, but this voyage was exceptionally long, causing unprecedented disruption to your mana...] In the real world, Su Xing frowned at this. "The void is unsuitable for cultivators, even those with powerful cultivation... long-term residence in the void could lead to a realm decline!" "But what exactly causes this?" Su Xing was unsure, but he knew the void contained some mysterious energy that polluted cultivation levels, seemingly designed to target cultivators! "Maybe this energy in the void is brought by a foreign race?" "And that''s why cross-realm travel is so difficult even True Immortal realm cultivators dare not make long leaps!" Su Xing stroked his chin, guessing there might be some hidden truth in this that he should investigate in the future. But for now, first see what the Star Realm had to offer... With this thought, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [You put away the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and hid in a concealed location to recover your internal cultivation and stabilize your mana.] [You meditated with your mind towards the heavens, gazing at the vast and ethereal starry sky, gradually understanding why this realm was named the Star Realm!] [In the night sky, each star was unusually bright, almost seeming within reach.] [Being in the Star Realm, the vast number of stars seemed to pull at your heart every moment.] [According to the information you acquired, Star Realm cultivators could enhance their cultivation by drawing power from the stars, an incredibly mystical method.] [Moreover, the Star Realm had a lineage of astrologers whose mystical methods could even perform divination through star charts...] [After a day''s meditation, sensing some recovery in your cultivation and mana, you entered the Spirit Field Cave, intending to explore the Star Realm when you were fully restored...] [This seclusion lasted half a year!] [In the hundred and twenty-fourth year, after half a year of recuperation, your cultivation finally returned to its peak.] [You then planned to leave the Spirit Field Cave to explore the Star Realm.] [A thought brought you into the Star Realm, but your expression changed almost immediately.] [You sensed no fewer than dozens of Immortal Realm cultivators within a hundred-mile radius!] [They carried the aura of the stars, indicating they were native to the Star Realm!] [The most critical part was that judging by their direction, they seemed to have anticipated your arrival... this gathering was perhaps to confront you!] Chapter 296 Bringing out the Cultivation Level gains, Star Realm and Witch Clan! [8k] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly."A Star Realm diviner, could they really have predicted my arrival in advance?" He entered the Star Realm six months ago. After spending a day at the landing site of the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, he went to the Spirit Field Cave. During the simulation, with Su Xing''s caution, he would have undoubtedly erased all traces and shielded his heavenly secrets. But even so, he was still discovered by the Star Realm cultivators... It''s even possible that he was discovered before he had even reached the Star Realm! And these Star Realm cultivators had six months to prepare for an ambush before approaching. "Tsk tsk, it seems the Star Realm cultivators are more skilled in the Path of Divination than I had imagined..." Su Xing pondered. The Path of Divination involved the Path of Causality and Destiny. Perhaps in the Star Realm, he could learn something about this field? "This is the Path of Causality and Destiny! My current understanding of these two paths is only at the level of the origin at great achievement and has not yet led the Great Dao into my body..." "But the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique still has potential for further improvement..." Su Xing''s heart heated up a bit but quickly calmed down. "For now... I still don''t know the attitude of these Star Realm cultivators. Let''s see what happens first!" Su Xing muttered to himself, his gaze shifting to the simulation panel. [As you watched the cultivators approaching, a sense of foreboding filled your heart...] [You activated your body-protecting sword aura, with two thousand four hundred layers of it surrounding you to ensure your safety.] [Then, you scanned your surroundings, encasing your voice with mana, and let it resonate over a hundred-mile radius.] [In your transmitted message, you stated that you had no malicious intent, that your Immortal Boat was damaged, and you ended up in this realm as a result. If the Immortal Boat was repaired, you would leave immediately.] [After a brief moment, there was finally some movement.] S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Dozens of cultivators started to gradually approach you, the weakest among them having the cultivation level of a Human Immortal...] [There were even a few Earth Immortal cultivators mixed in among them!] [You observed everything calmly, recalling the intelligence you had about the Star Realm.] [The Star Realm, one of the highest-ranked Minor Thousand Worlds, with cultivators whose cultivation levels did not lose out to those of the Little Qingyun Realm!] [However, due to their unique method of cultivating by harnessing celestial forces, the Star Realm cultivators were highly xenophobic.] [In the Star Realm, the division of power among cultivators was based on tribes.] [In a single tribe, there could be hundreds of thousands of cultivators with wide-ranging strengths, all worshiping a particular star in the sky.] [The entire Star Realm had thousands of tribes with vast differences in strength.] [In smaller tribes, the leader might only be an Earth Immortal cultivator... but the powerful tribes have Heavenly Immortal cultivators guarding them!] [Rumors even spoke of True Immortal cultivators appearing in the Star Realm...] [Being new here, you decided to act cautiously.] [But you were also worried that these "tribe" cultivators might be the type of bloodthirsty savages.] Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire [...] [When dozens of Star Realm native cultivators approached, you were taken aback.] [Because, from their appearance, these cultivators were not the kind of bloodthirsty natives you had imagined.] [Instead, they had refined looks. The male cultivators were burly and full of masculine energy, while the female cultivators had sun-kissed skins and a healthy, vibrant beauty.] [Their clothing wasn''t made of grass skirts and animal hides but a kind of specially made battle attire, which had a hint of technological sense, making you almost feel like you had returned to the modern world...] [As they slowly approached, you transmitted your intent through divine sense, expressing that you had no hostile intentions.] [Seeing these cultivators ready for a fight, you gripped your Ink Ice Sword tightly, prepared to retaliate at any moment!] [The atmosphere grew tense...] [You exposed your Earth Immortal cultivation level, indicating that you were not someone to be trifled with...] [After a while, two mid-stage Earth Immortal cultivators came forward to negotiate with you!] [They asked you to leave the Star Realm as soon as possible or risk bringing disaster to this place...] [You raised your eyebrows and took out a bag of high-grade spirit stones, handing it over.] [Upon seeing the spirit stones, these cultivators were momentarily taken aback and showed a hint of interest.] [Evidently, the Star Realm cultivators also knew the value of spirit stones, which could accelerate their cultivation and harness celestial forces faster!] [But they shook their heads slightly and transmitted through divine sense: Not enough, need to add more!] [In the end, you paid a price of two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones to gain temporary residence in the Star Realm.] [Meanwhile, you also promised that once the Immortal Boat was repaired, you would leave the Star Realm immediately.] [Before that, you could use resources to trade with Star Realm cultivators for the items you needed.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and was somewhat speechless. "Tsk tsk, indeed, spirit stones are the hard currency!" "These Star Realm cultivators... are quite practical!" "But at least I managed to secure temporary residency in the Star Realm... It was just a matter of spending some spirit stones, after all." Su Xing nodded slightly. With his current assets, two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones were merely equivalent to twenty million low-grade spirit stones, really nothing significant. In comparison, Su Xing did not want to resort to a massacre, thereby causing unnecessary trouble. "It is said... that the Star Realm produces a special type of stone called Star Stone!" "This stone is formed from the disintegration of falling stars from the sky, landing in the Star Realm!" "It is also a supplementary item for the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!" Su Xing''s face showed some anticipation; he wanted to see the magical uses of the Star Stone. With that in mind, Su Xing''s gaze shifted back to the simulation panel. [After offering the spirit stones, you obtained temporary residence in the Star Realm.] Chapter 296 Bringing Out Cultivation Level Gains, Star Realm and Witch Clan! [8k]_2 [After following this group of native cultivators into the tribal territory, you froze.][Because the Star Realm was a technologically advanced cultivation world!] [In this realm, cultivators could harness the power of stars to develop some high-tech products, and even some powerful technological weapons, which were no weaker than an immortal''s strike...] [While you were astonished, you also began to investigate the power structure of the Star Realm cultivators.] [A month later, you had a slightly clearer understanding of the power structure in the Star Realm.] [In the Star Realm, the number of tribes was countless, even they themselves were not clear.] [But the tribe you were in was called the Sirius Tribe... which worshiped a star in the sky named Sirius.] [The Sirius Tribe was considered one of the powerful tribes in the Star Realm, ranking in the top ten!] [Because this tribe had an astrologer at the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [Back then, it was precisely this Heavenly Immortal astrologer who calculated your landing spot...] [With curiosity, you began to investigate this Sirius Tribe.] [With the combined efforts of the "success coach" and the "money power," you learned a lot of secrets.] [For example, the Sirius Tribe practiced a strange cultivation technique that could absorb power from Sirius for cultivation.] [Moreover, the cultivation speed was extremely fast, at least two or three times faster than ordinary cultivators!] [What surprised you even more was that this method of cultivation seemed to have few side effects and could also enhance combat power by drawing on the power of the stars.] [This aroused your interest, and you wanted to get this cultivation technique for research.] In the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this. Fast cultivation technique... with no side effects? Su Xing had previously seen the Blood Immortal Scripture, which was highly likely to be an evil technique produced by the Descending Sect. The cultivation speed was indeed fast, but the side effects were too significant. But if the cultivation speed of the Star Realm cultivators increased without side effects... its value might only be slightly inferior to the Zhengyi Submission Decision. The Zhengyi Submission Decision, when cultivated to perfection, could provide a seven-fold increase in cultivation speed and was the most valuable cultivation acceleration technique Su Xing knew of. But the two to three times increase of the Star Realm technique was also very extraordinary... Even more valuable than some techniques practiced by Profound Immortals... Such a valuable technique, why hadn''t other cultivators from other worlds come to snatch it? Su Xing was a bit curious. "Interesting... I just don''t know if I can cultivate this Star Realm tribal technique or steal it to take a look?" Su Xing pondered, his gaze on the simulation panel. [You found a Earth Immortal Realm Elder of the Sirius Tribe and expressed your desire to cultivate this technique.] [You were already prepared for a big expenditure, after all, in your previous impression, the Sirius Tribe cultivators loved wealth. Maybe if you paid enough Spirit Stones, you wouldn''t have to start a fight.] [But to your surprise, this cultivator didn''t say a word and directly gave you the technique.] [This mysterious technique was called the Sirius Star Technique, and all cultivators in the Sirius Tribe practiced it.] [Different tribes practiced different techniques, and it was said that all of them were bestowed by the stars in the sky...] [Getting the technique effortlessly undoubtedly surprised you.] [But soon, you learned the reason why.] [It turned out that in the Star Realm, the prerequisite for each tribe''s cultivation technique was faith in their tribe''s star!] [This meant that if you wanted to cultivate the Sirius Star Technique, you had to first believe in Sirius!] [You had a vague premonition that this faith was not a good thing, so you did not choose to cultivate it.] [Instead, you spent Spirit Stones trying to buy rare Star Stones in the Star Realm.] [For that, you found a native cultivator at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, hoping to buy Star Stones from him.] [He was very surprised by your request, as Star Stones were only useful for their cultivation techniques and had no effect on external cultivators.] [Not knowing what you were thinking, he still sold you quite a few due to the Spirit Stones.] [You learned that Star Stones were also categorized by quality.] [Low-grade Star Stones were priced at 1,000 high-grade Spirit Stones.] Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire [Mid-grade Star Stones were priced at 10,000 high-grade Spirit Stones.] [High-grade Star Stones were priced at 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones.] [Although Star Stones were precious, you still bought two of each kind for research.] [After buying the Star Stones, you studied them for a long time but found they were just ordinary meteorites, each about the size of a fist, with no peculiarities... except for a faint power of the stars inside.] [After several months of research, you lost interest.] [Next, you planned to explore the Star Realm thoroughly.] [You left the Sirius Tribe, flying on your sword, heading to other tribes.] [Because you had obtained a travel permit from the Sirius Tribe, you could explore normally within the friendly tribes nearby.] Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [But the relationships between tribes were not always friendly. If you appeared in a hostile tribe to the Sirius Tribe, you might be hunted.] [But that couldn''t stop you. With extreme escape speed, comparable to the Heavenly Immortal Realm... and techniques to conceal your presence and shield Heavenly Secrets, you began to explore the Star Realm.] Su Xing muttered: "Star Stones... really aren''t cheap!" "I just hope the exploration of the Star Realm can yield some information..." [So, six years passed!] [In the one hundred and thirtieth year, this was the seventh year since you came to the Star Realm.] [Since you started exploring the Star Realm six years ago, over these six years, you had traveled almost half of the Star Realm, visiting no less than a thousand tribes.] Chapter 296 Bringing Out Cultivation Level Gains, Star Realm and Witch Clan! [8k]_3 [Just as the intelligence indicated, the strength disparity between each tribe was immense.][You even encountered a tribe with two Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators as its strongest!] [While the weakest tribe only had a leader at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm...] [The weaker tribes might reach an agreement with each other, tributes paid annually to ensure peace.] [Alternatively, wars between tribes were often waged to capture newborns and untrained children...] [These tribes worshipped different celestial bodies, such as Fire Bull Star, Centaur Star, and Sky Snake Star...] [The relationships between different tribes were intricate.] [Through your continuous exploration, you also uncovered some secrets of the Star Realm.] [The stronger the celestial body a tribe worshipped, the more powerful the tribe, the deeper the cultivation levels of the cultivators within...] [Additionally, powerful cultivators of a tribe could feedback their strength to the celestial bodies they worshipped during cultivation, strengthening those celestial bodies!] sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Hence, the disparity between tribes grew ever larger!] [The strong grew stronger, and the weak grew weaker!] [Thus, population became a significant factor in assessing the strength disparity between tribes!] [You traveled for years without finding any traces of a True Immortal cultivator...] [However, these years of travel revealed a crucial flaw of the Star Realm cultivators.] [That was the low upper limit!] [Since the fall of the Ancestral Star, the most powerful cultivators born in the Star Realm had only achieved the True Immortal Realm!] [The cultivation speed was fast, but the upper limit was low...] [As for the Ancestral Star, it was a concept you discovered in an ancient book from the Star Realm.] [It was said that several yuanhui ago, the Star Realm had only one tribe, which worshipped only the Ancestral Star!] [But one day, the Ancestral Star suddenly dimmed and vanished, causing countless stars to appear in the sky...] [From that point on, the Star Realm was divided into countless tribes, each warring with the others...] [According to your speculation, the secret of the Ancestral Star might be somewhat related to the Witch Clan.] [This deduction was naturally based on the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, which required Star Stones for cultivation assistance...] In the real world, Su Xing raised his eyebrows upon seeing this. "Star Realm... an ancient Minor Thousand Worlds, containing considerable secrets, perhaps related to the Witch Clan?" "Tsk tsk, this indeed warrants exploration!" Su Xing muttered. "And this Ancestral Star, does it have any connection with the fall of the Witch Clan back then?" "Gaining strength by worshipping different celestial bodies... This method seems somewhat peculiar?" Su Xing raised his eyebrows. It should be known that cultivators did not worship gods or Buddhas, only believing in their own power. Otherwise, how could they fight for dominance with the heavens and the earth, seeking eternal immortality? "The only uncertainty is whether the remaining simulation time is enough for exploration?" The simulation time had reached the 130th year, meaning Qing Yunzi could find him at any moment. Although the Star Realm was slightly farther from the Qingyun Realm, it would at best delay the inevitable. "Next, try to explore as many secrets of the Star Realm as possible, and seek out their divination methods!" Su Xing murmured, his gaze shifting to the simulation panel. [In the following few years, you continued to explore the Star Realm.] [You gradually discovered that astrologers in the Star Realm practiced a method that allowed them to receive guidance from the celestial bodies above. Their practice of "the way of divination" was a profound secret in the Star Realm.] [To obtain the corresponding divination secret arts, one needed certain merits and also had to worship the celestial bodies.] [You continued exploring the Star Realm, and time flew by...] [In the 140th year, one day you had a premonition, your innate talent for avoiding misfortune went into overdrive with warnings.] [Several days later, Qing Yunzi descended...] [Qing Yunzi performed a Soul Search on you...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing raised his eyebrows. "Indeed, traveling to a further world could extend the time before being discovered by Qing Yunzi!" Su Xing felt his strategy was correct. As he kept traveling farther worlds, the simulation time could become longer. The longer the simulation time, the faster Su Xing''s cultivation level and strength would grow! In this way, a positive cycle could form... A 140-year simulation was already quite substantial for Su Xing. Seventy-seven years later, Su Xing would have the boon of being a late bloomer. This meant that Su Xing''s simulation gains were equivalent to 200 years! "As for confronting Qing Yunzi directly... that was obviously impossible! One could only stay far away to simulate for as long as possible!" After understanding this, Su Xing began contemplating the intelligence about the Star Realm. Based on the intelligence he previously obtained from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, the Star Realm had existed for a long time, even longer than some Great Thousand Worlds! Long ago, powerful cultivators from this realm emerged, comparable to Golden Immortals and even the Taiyi Realm! But within several yuanhui, the cultivators of this realm weakened, eventually dropping below the True Immortal Realm. "The relationship between Star Stones and the Witch Clan... the power of stars... the way of divining the stars..." Find exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing felt increasingly that the secrets buried within the Star Realm were not small. "It seems the next simulation location can be in the Star Realm... to explore its secrets!" After thinking for a while, Su Xing eagerly opened the reward list, with excitement bubbling in his heart. [Innate Tide Body]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 Origin Energy Source.] [Earth Immortal Realm First Layer]: Earth Immortal Realm First Layer cultivation level, having overcome the Yin Yang Fire Tribulation, with internal organs and Spiritual Root aptitude further purified, resistance to heat and extreme cold further enhanced, a slight improvement in the quality of Immortal Physique, accelerated immortal power operation and recovery speed.

[8k]_4 [All-Encompassing Flower, 180 plants]: Heaven and Earth Treasures, capable of inducing Vital Energy and refining Origin Force, priced at 18,000 Origin Energy Source points.[Body-Protecting Sword Aura Insight]: Insight into Body-Protecting Sword Aura of Earthly Fiend Divine Skills, after learning, the number of Sword Qi Barriers increases to 2,400, priced at 2,000 Origin Energy Source points. [Low, Medium, High-grade Star Stones, 2 each]: Formed from the power of celestial starfalls, and are also important cultivation resources for Star Witches. Priced at 3,330 Origin Energy Source points. Su Xing looked at the simulation rewards before him, pondering slightly. "Star Stones... Star Witch!" "Indeed, the Star Realm and the Ancient Witch Clan are intricately related!" Su Xing''s eyes lit up. The Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, derived from the cultivation methods passed down by the Witch Clan, could be practiced by descendants of the Witch Clan or some Human Clan Cultivators. Could it be that Star Witches were a branch of the Ancient Witch Clan? Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire "No wonder... the Star Realm''s technology is so advanced, yet it still gathers in the form of tribes. Perhaps it is a tradition left by the Witch Clan?" Su Xing thought to himself. Wouldn''t this mean that cultivators in the Star Realm all carried the bloodline of the Witch Clan within them? But Su Xing shook his head slightly and said: "Not necessarily... Besides, even if there is Witch Clan blood, after several Epochs, it''s likely so diluted it''s indistinguishable from normal Human Clan Cultivators!" Matters involving the Witch Clan piqued Su Xing''s interest even more. But Star Stones were not the reward Su Xing wanted to choose right now. "Huff... Next, I need to advance to the Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level... This will likely cause quite a commotion. It''s better to break through at the Wan Mu Sect ruins!" Su Xing murmured, glanced at the time, and then began to disguise and conceal his breath, preparing to trade with Grandpa Lu. A moment later, with 20,000 Origin Energy Source points in hand, Su Xing set off for the Immortal Martial Era Instance. On his way to the Wan Mu Sect ruins, Su Xing reinforced the Xuan Yuan Concealment Array, then slipped into the Spirit Field Cave. Without much hesitation, Su Xing decisively said: "I choose to bring out Earth Immortal Realm First Layer cultivation, and 180 All-Encompassing Flowers!" As these words fell, a simulation prompt sounded in his ears. [You successfully brought out Earth Immortal Realm cultivation. The cost is 30,000 Origin Energy Source points. The remaining Origin Energy Source points are 119,432...] [You successfully brought out 180 All-Encompassing Flowers. The cost is 18,000 Origin Energy Source points. The remaining Origin Energy Source points are 101,432...] As the simulation prompt ended, a mysterious energy surged into Su Xing''s body. Next, his cultivation aura began to skyrocket! Having passed through the Yin and Yang Fire Calamity, Su Xing felt his body alternately cold and hot, but it eventually returned to calm. During this time, Su Xing''s aptitude further improved... But the biggest change was in Su Xing''s cultivation! The river of immortal power inside him extended beyond ten fathoms. The quality of his immortal power increased by thirty percent, and the total amount directly doubled! Just at the Earth Immortal Realm First Layer, Su Xing''s mana density was already comparable to that of a mid-stage Earth Immortal cultivator! When the surge of aura subsided, Su Xing carefully felt it out, then sighed and said: "Indeed, the gap between cultivation realms grows larger in the later stages... Ten fathoms of immortal power light is already quite remarkable!" "I wonder if by the time I reach Great Perfection in the Earth Immortal Realm, I can have mana comparable to a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator?" Su Xing wasn''t sure, but he estimated that even if he did, it would only be comparable to a Heavenly Immortal Realm First Layer''s mana? "Sigh, if only the Spirit Vein Dragon could breathe more immortal qi on me... That would ensure absolute domination in mana!" Su Xing glanced at the Spirit Vein Dragon slumbering in the distance within the formation. Wisps of black qi escaped from the Spirit Vein Dragon, eventually being dissolved by the formation. "I need to accelerate the dissipation of this black qi... Only then can the Spirit Vein Dragon grow smoothly!" Su Xing stroked his chin. He had previously learned the "Flower Shifting Wood Connecting" technique, which could transfer the black qi from the Spirit Vein Dragon to himself. Su Xing could then eliminate this black qi by practicing techniques like the Clear Mind Formula. Now that Su Xing''s Divine Soul was strong, and his cultivation had reached the Earth Immortal Realm, it was time to give it a try! Thinking thus, Su Xing stepped into the formation and touched the Spirit Dragon... Then, he activated the Flower Shifting Wood Connecting technique! Wisp after wisp of black qi rapidly peeled off the Spirit Vein Dragon, flowing into Su Xing''s body. The entire process lasted only a few breaths. Su Xing extended his right hand and saw the wisps of black qi entangled over his palm. "Tsk tsk... This black qi might take three days to eliminate by practicing the Clear Mind technique?" Confirming that the black qi wasn''t particularly dangerous, just needing three days of Clear Mind practice to remove it with no side effects, Su Xing sighed in relief. He felt that the black qi on the Spirit Vein Dragon had reduced by about one percent. At this rate, as long as Su Xing performed the Flower Shifting Wood Connecting technique every three days, paired with a Formation to dispel the evil qi... In a few months, the black qi on the Spirit Vein Dragon would be completely eliminated. Then, the growth potential of the Spirit Vein Dragon would greatly increase, and Su Xing''s Spirit Field Cave might even rise to top-grade levels! Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a bit excited. "If the Spirit Field Cave reaches top-grade... would it yield top-grade Spiritual Liquid?" Thinking this, Su Xing was filled with motivation. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Running the Clear Mind Formula, while repairing the Puppets, was no difficulty for someone with Su Xing''s "Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart". Soon, a week passed. During this time, Su Xing dispelled the black qi from the Spirit Dragon twice. And he also repaired three Divinity Transformation Stage Puppets. At this moment, Su Xing had six Divinity Transformation Stage Puppets in hand. After some hesitation, he decided to place these six Puppets within America''s borders, coordinating with Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei''s actions. Chapter 296 Bringing Out Cultivation Level Gains, Star Realm and Witch Clan! [8k]_5 Sword flight, a round trip with errands explained, only took a few hours.After finishing everything, the time arrived at noon on September 30th. Su Xing, as promised, went to the villa district to meet with Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue sat across from Su Xing, curiously scrutinizing him, and asked in confusion: "Why do I feel like you have become even more attractive... just the feeling, the distance between us seems even greater?" Su Xing was stunned for a moment after hearing Jin Congxue''s words, then replied earnestly: "How could that be! You will always be my Sister Xue!" Su Xing knew that the reason why Jin Congxue had such thoughts was due to Su Xing''s cultivation level having further improved. Reaching the Earth Immortal realm, his cultivation aura had changed. The greater the immortal essence, the stronger the sense of oppression towards mortals... Although Su Xing had already tried his best to contain his aura, the resulting sense of distance was inevitable... Su Xing comforted Jin Congxue for a while, and their relationship further deepened, with only one final step left to breakthrough. But until the crisis was completely resolved, or his strength had grown enough to protect those around him, Su Xing''s heart only yearned for the Immortal Dao! "Hmph! Glad you understand!" Jin Congxue wrinkled her cute little nose, then said: "This week''s goods are all here... the current overseas trade, especially in America, seems to have taken a turn for the better!" "Our Tarot Society''s trade range is becoming broader, and it can now be considered among the top ten prestigious associations in the country!" "Of course... those truly old-established associations have been accumulating for hundreds or even thousands of years... in this aspect, we are still far behind!" Su Xing, seeing Jin Congxue''s serious demeanor, couldn''t bear to disturb her interest. He knew that Jin Congxue had almost single-handedly developed the Tarot Society to such a scale, which was no small feat. But to Su Xing, all of this was unimportant, as what he needed was simply energy... ... After the trade ended, Su Xing brought the new week''s Origin Energy Source back to the Spirit Field Cave. He glanced at the simulation cooldown time, which had not yet reset. So Su Xing looked at his current attribute panel. [Name: Su Xing] [Age: 23 years] [Profession: Cultivator] [Cultivation Level: Earth Immortal Realm First Layer, Grand Witch Body Refining Decision Second Layer Initiate] [Cultivation Technique: Diagram of Wishful Visualization, Luo Tianhua Immortal Jue, Zhengyi Submission Decision (Second Layer), Grand Witch Body Refining Decision] [Talents: Unethical in Martial Conduct, Swallow Heaven, Innate Sword Body, The Undying Xiaochi, Kind Rose, Ancient Witch Body, The Great Wisdom in Foolishness, Occasional Epiphany, Alchemy Dao Sage Late Bloomer, Fiery Flame Divine Body, Acquired Taoist Body...] [Skills: Spirit Domain (Prototype), Li Fire Technique (Mahayana Level), Alchemy (Minor Achievement), Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique (Minor Achievement), Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Initiate Level), Boundless Divine Sense (State of Six Senses), Origin Force Flower, Body-Protecting Sword Aura (Two Thousand Two Hundred Layers)...] [Origin of Great Dao: Great Dao of Thunder (Prototype), Great Dao of Fire (Prototype), Great Dao of Space (Initial Insight), Origin of Wood (Perfection), Great Sword Dao (Prototype)...] [Special Physique: Heavenly Thunder Physique (Second Stage)] Both Qi Refinement and Body Refinement breakthroughs, the total number of talents also reached eighteen, the Origin Force Flower bloomed... and various Great Dao principles further advanced. After a moment of contemplation, Su Xing murmured: "For now, if I want to improve my combat power as much as possible in a short time... I still need to start with my cultivation level and Body-Protecting Sword Aura!" "Previously, I brought out an extra one hundred and eighty All-Encompassing Flowers. Together with the All-Encompassing Flowers in the next simulation, it should be enough for my Grand Witch Body Refining Decision Second Layer''s cultivation for a hundred years, right?" Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing took a deep breath, already having a plan in mind. "As for improving my Qi Refining Cultivation, there''s no rush... when I bring out the Inborn Unique Meridian for cultivation later, the results will certainly be twice as good with half the effort!" ... Once the simulation cooldown finished, Su Xing silently said: "Begin simulation!" [The 106th simulation begins, current remaining Origin Energy Source is 131,236 points... no remaining simulation attempts left.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing Gold Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, would you like to draw?] Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire "Yes!" Su Xing silently said. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent Dragon-Searching Point, the chance of drawing a Golden Talent in the next simulation is 60%...] Chapter 297 Golden Talent: Seeking Dragons and Acupuncture Points, the True Luotian Legacy!【8k】 Dragon Spotting and Pointing?Su Xing froze for a moment. His first reaction was that this was a talent related to grave digging, or perhaps it could find Spirit Vein Dragons. But when Su Xing saw the complete introduction of this talent, his eyes suddenly lit up. [Dragon Spotting and Pointing]: Golden talent, you are born with the ability to sense exotic treasures and precious mineral veins, capable of locating valuable minerals buried in the ground, practically a walking treasure-hunting machine! "This talent... it seems like an upgraded version of a previous geology expert!" Su Xing touched his chin and muttered. The geology expert talent allowed Su Xing to sense alien metals and spirit ore veins within a certain range. And this Dragon Spotting and Pointing talent was clearly stronger than the geology expert, and the sensed items were not limited to minerals, including various heaven and earth treasures. "Phew... with this talent, exploring secret realms should become much easier, right?" Su Xing pondered for a while and decided to test the effects of the new talent. The geology expert talent had led Su Xing to discover alien metal veins during the Xianwu Era, providing him with a large amount of energy. Unfortunately, alien metals were ultimately limited. Su Xing estimated that the alien metal veins within the Xianwu Era would last him at most two or three more months before they began to deplete. Before that happened, Su Xing had to find new veins. Su Xing temporarily decided not to explore the Blood Demon Cave World, as it was the lair of the Damned Dragon, and mining there might lead to trouble. "It is necessary to bring out the Dragon Spotting and Pointing talent... so for this simulation, let''s focus on enhancing the Body Refinement Cultivation Level!" Su Xing thought as he looked at the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating.] [Ten days later, having accumulated a day''s worth of the Great Wisdom State, you went to the Luo Tian Sect instance.] "Use immersive simulation, duration one day." [Ding...] Following the simulation prompt sound, Su Xing''s vision changed. He appeared in the grand hall of the Luo Tian Sect and went through the familiar task process. Then, Luo Qingniu escorted Su Xing to the venue of the Luo Tian Conference. Just when Su Xing thought he would be forcibly "plot-killed" and kicked out of the venue, something different happened. Beside him, Luo Qingniu suddenly sighed and said: "Actually, I know you are not Xiaochuan..." "And we, too, have long been gone..." Su Xing, who was preparing to read in the Scripture Pavilion, froze upon hearing these words. Forcing a smile, Su Xing subconsciously said: "Master... what are you talking about? I don''t understand?" Luo Qingniu took a deep breath, turned, and looked at Su Xing seriously: "Child, I don''t know who you are or from which era you come... Can you tell me what the real world is like now?" "We... have been trapped in this day for countless epochs!" Hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, Su Xing was wildly shaken within! So... including Luo Qingniu and Ghost Grandma... all the cultivators of the Luo Tian Sect knew? They had always known they were no longer among the living? They knew all along... they were simply acting along with me? "No... even if they knew they were repeating, it should be the first time they''ve seen me!" "After all, for the Luo Tian instance, every simulation is my first entry!" Su Xing quickly realized. Two years ago, he could enter the instance three times per simulation each year. Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Recently, in the past year or so, there had only been two opportunities. Su Xing estimated that soon, he would only be able to enter the Luo Tian instance once per simulation! This meant he could enter the Luo Tian instance no more than sixty more times. Before Luo Tian completely closed, Su Xing had to fully understand its secrets! And now, with Su Xing''s cultivation level reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, the instance storyline changed again! These "NPCs" in the instance clearly knew they were forever stuck in this day! "So... what exactly is the Luo Tian Sect''s attitude towards me?" "From the current perspective, they seem to be an ally... Should I tell them the truth?" "Does my current identity count as Luo Tian''s descendant?" At this moment, several thoughts flashed through Su Xing''s mind. Just then, Luo Qingniu explained on his own. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire "Child, regardless of your identity... or how much time has passed... We old ones of the Luo Tian Sect can only rely on you!" "You bear the Luo Tianhua Immortal Jue, the Wishful Visualization Technique, the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision... even the Zhengyi Submission Decision is on you!" "I don''t know where you obtained these secret techniques of Luo Tian, but in fact, you are already considered a descendant of Luo Tian!" After a pause, Luo Qingniu continued: "Soon, maybe in a year, or two... we old ones will completely disappear!" "We don''t matter if we die... but the Luo Tian legacy cannot be broken!" "Your current cultivation level may still be low... but no matter what, I need to tell you everything now!" As he spoke, Luo Qingniu pointed his hand to the center of the Luo Tian Conference venue. At the center of the wide Heavenly Altar, a small, ancient mirror the size of a palm slowly rose. The ancient mirror was carved with a yin and yang diagram, but it was different from the Bagua, as if it resided between reality and illusion... It was as if it transcended time and space, with even time freezing at this moment. The extraordinary little mirror emitted multicolored light, sweeping over everyone in the Luo Tian instance, except for Su Xing... Chapter 297 Golden Talent Seeking Dragon Acupuncture, The True Luotian Legacy! (8k)_2 Su Xing was utterly shocked in his heart. In the moment when this mirror appeared, Su Xing''s heart throbbed violently.Without a doubt, this mirror was a supreme treasure! Moreover, it was something Su Xing had never seen before, a treasure that surpassed all others... even far more valuable than the Spirit Vein Dragon and the Innate Fusang Tree Branch! "This mirror... What exactly is it!?" Su Xing''s heart was wildly shaking. Next, Luo Qingniu answered Su Xing''s question. "This mirror is named Luo Tian Mirror... It is one of the three Chaotic Supreme Treasures that were born at the dawn of the heavens and earth... surpassing all time, space, and the cause and effect of destiny!" "It can be called... an artifact that suppresses the ages!" "It is also the greatest secret of our Luo Tian Sect!" Luo Qingniu glanced at Su Xing and explained: "Several epochs ago, since that great battle... our Luo Tian Sect quickly fell apart, and its strength was far from its peak period!" "To ensure the continuation of our Luo Tian Sect, two plans were chosen at that time!" "First, select some elite and trusted disciples to take some Immortal Sprouts and go to other small realms, and hide there... Until the time is right, showing up strong enough descendants to revive our Luo Tian Sect!" "At that time, there were one hundred and eight disciples ranging from Earth Immortal Realm to Golden Immortal Realm, who took tens of thousands of Immortal Sprouts to various small realms with the purpose of preserving the Luo Tian Legacy!" "But tens of thousands of years have passed... and not a single descendant of Luo Tian has returned... So I think it probably failed!" At this point, a trace of sorrow appeared in Luo Qingniu''s eyes. Su Xing also understood at this moment, that the sorrow he saw in Luo Qingniu during the last Luo Tian meeting was not only due to the Luo Tian Sect being invaded by the Foreign Race and the death of Ancestor Master Luotian... But also because the Luo Tian Legacy had been cut off... Listening to Luo Qingniu''s mournful tone, Su Xing felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart as well. Luo Qingniu continued: "The second plan was for all disciples and elders within the Luo Tian Sect to hold a Luo Tian meeting... to sacrifice their freedom and remain forever on that day!" "This method used the supreme power of the Luo Tian Mirror, allowing millions of cultivators within the Luo Tian Sect to enter it and enjoy eternal lifespan... until the day the Luo Tian Mirror completely loses its power!" "With the help of the Luo Tian Mirror, we old undying ones could exist in the mirror for several epochs... although we lost our freedom, we retained the legacy and hope!" "If one day, disciples of the Luo Tian Sect return and reach a higher realm than even our Ancestor Master Luotian, perhaps they could let us appear again in the world!" "Since that day, the Luo Tian Mirror exhausted most of its power just to seal us..." At this point, Luo Qingniu sighed and said: "Unfortunately, several epochs have passed... the Luo Tian Mirror is becoming dimmer, and the remaining energy is no longer enough to sustain the existence of this illusory world..." "We old undying ones will also perish along with the dissolution of the Luo Tian Realm, swallowed in the sorrowful river of time..." Hearing this, Su Xing widened his eyes. At this moment, he finally knew what kind of existence the Luo Tian Instance was! The Luo Tian Instance repeated the same day endlessly... In fact, at least a small portion of the ''NPCs'' in the instance knew that this day was continually repeating! They had been sealed within the Luo Tian Mirror since that day, waiting for the appearance of Luotian''s Descendants! Unfortunately, tens of thousands of years had passed, and Luotian''s Descendants had yet to appear. The formidable power of the Luo Tian Mirror was also gradually dissipating... "So, the essence of the Luo Tian Instance is the Luo Tian Mirror!" "And the Luo Tian Mirror is the very thing that Qingyunzi and the Descending Sect have been searching for?" Su Xing vaguely understood the cause and effect. As for how precious the Luo Tian Mirror was, there was no need to elaborate. One of the three Chaotic Supreme Treasures born at the dawn of the heavens and earth, predating the creation of some worlds! It was also the foundation for the establishment of the Luo Tian Sect! If one could obtain the Luo Tian Mirror, one would not only gain a Chaotic Supreme Treasure. But also inherit all the treasures and legacy of the Luo Tian Sect! These predecessors sealed within the Luo Tian Mirror... were an incredibly vast knowledge treasure vault! Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire At the same time, Su Xing noticed a very important point. Luo Qingniu said that the Luo Tian Mirror "possessed the power to transform virtual reality"! Did this not mean that everything within the Luo Tian Sect... might actually exist? Could Su Xing also inherit those endless treasures and wealth!? Thinking of this, Su Xing''s heart pounded vigorously. If this were truly the case, this treasure would not only tempt a Daluo Golden Immortal, but even a Saint would be unable to resist its allure! "But... how can the Luo Tian Mirror be inherited?" Su Xing''s heart was filled with immense longing. Luo Qingniu glanced at Su Xing and said: "Over the epochs, this mirror has encountered not a few who descended here... They accidentally entered the Luo Tian Mirror, but most of them had no cultivation level!" "Tens of thousands of years ago... There were some individuals with cultivation levels who came here, but the highest only reached the Earth Immortal Realm!" S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "They were far from meeting the standard to unlock the Luo Tian Mirror..." "Actually, I wasn''t supposed to tell you these things yet!" "But, the power of the Luo Tian Mirror is nearly exhausted. I have no other choice... Since you bear our Luo Tian Sect legacy, would you be willing to do something for us?" Upon hearing this, Su Xing''s heart was stirred, and he quickly said: "I am willing!" Luo Qingniu nodded slightly, clearly at his wit''s end as he said: "According to my calculations... there is about one year and some months left before the Luo Tian Mirror completely dissipates... During this period, I hope you can find a True Immortal Realm strong practitioner!" "Only a True Immortal Realm practitioner... can inherit the Luo Tian Mirror, restore some of its energy, and also extend the existence of the Luo Tian Realm..." Chapter 297 Golden Talent Seeking Dragon Acupuncture, The True Luotian Legacy! (8k)_3 "As a reward, I am willing to inform you about the treasures my Luo Tian Sect has hidden in various Minor Thousand Worlds...""Although several epochs have passed and most of the treasures may have been buried in the river of time... surely, there are still many treasures that exist!" "All you need to do is find a righteous cultivator above the True Immortal Realm and make him the inheritor of my Luo Tian Sect!" Luo Qingniu first explained the situation sincerely, then tempted with benefits. The hidden treasures of the Luo Tian Sect scattered around the world were obviously as valuable as those in the "Spiritual Ancestral Land." If there were enough, even Golden Immortals or Taiyi Golden Immortals would be tempted! After hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, Su Xing was silent for a moment, calculating in his mind. Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "A year and one month... In reality, that''s about a bit more than a year, around sixty simulations!" "During this time, I must reach the True Immortal Realm to fully obtain the Luo Tian Mirror and inherit the Luo Tian Sect''s legacy?" "Yet, a year and a month... it''s still too risky... Ideally, I should reach the True Immortal Realm within a year, or even six months, to inherit the Luo Tian Mirror!" Su Xing thought to himself. He naturally didn''t want to hand over the Luo Tian Sect''s inheritance to someone else. Thus, he had to reach the True Immortal Realm within a year! Currently, Su Xing''s cultivation level was at the initial stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, still two major realms away from the True Immortal Realm! However, with his rapid growth in cultivation, Su Xing was confident of reaching the True Immortal Realm within thirty or forty simulations! With that thought, Su Xing did not hesitate and decisively said: "I am willing to find an inheritor for Luo Tian Sect within a year!" Upon hearing Su Xing''s response, Luo Qingniu breathed a sigh of relief, nodding appreciatively, then pointed to Su Xing''s forehead. "Here lies the location of the thirty-six hidden legacy sites of the Luo Tian Sect in the outside world, along with the secret methods to open them..." "Several hundred thousand years have passed, I don''t know how many are left... but it''s still a considerable fortune for you!" Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, absorbing the information in his mind, then felt a surge of joy. These thirty-six hidden sites held wealth comparable to the "Spiritual Ancestral Land," some even several times more. "Though hundreds of thousands of years have passed, it''s uncertain how much remains... even if only a dozen are left, it should be enough for me to cultivate to the Profound Immortal Realm, right?" Su Xing felt joy in his heart. At this moment, Luo Qingniu asked: "Child, though your cultivation level is insufficient, you now bear the title of the Luo Tian Sect''s inheritor..." "I wish to ask you, what is the current situation in the outside world?" After the question, a look of inquiry appeared in Luo Qingniu''s eyes. Anyone trapped in one realm for hundreds of thousands of years would surely be curious about the outside world, right? Su Xing pondered for a moment after hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, then began to explain: "Luo Tian Sect has indeed disappeared from the Three Thousand Worlds..." "At least on the surface, Luo Tian Sect has not emerged in the Three Thousand Worlds... whether it''s hidden, I do not know..." After Su Xing said this, Luo Qingniu sighed, extinguishing his last glimmer of hope. "I once went to the Spirit Realm... it seemed to be led by a disciple of Luo Tian Sect, Luo Binger..." At this point, Ghost Grandma suddenly appeared behind Su Xing, trembling as she asked: "Child... what did you just say?" "How is Luo Binger...?" Seeing Ghost Grandma''s anxious expression, Su Xing paused for a moment and said: "Luo Binger successfully led several thousand immortal sprouts to escape to the Spirit Realm... but they were ambushed, and she succumbed to serious injuries shortly after..." "However, part of the immortal sprout disciples, guided by puppets, continued on the path of cultivation..." "Yet, in the current world with scarce spiritual energy, they couldn''t refine Qi and turned to spiritual cultivation, living in the Spirit Realm under the name Spirit Race." Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Ghost Grandma trembled and nearly fell. But Su Xing continued: "I once received a legacy from the Luo Tian Sect... Sister Luo Binger said... she still wanted to hear you sing a lullaby for her..." Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire With Su Xing''s final words, Ghost Grandma couldn''t hold back her tears any longer. "Binger... Binger has done very well..." Watching Ghost Grandma weep, Su Xing felt a deep sense of emotion. After calming down a bit, Su Xing then introduced the current situation of the Three Thousand Worlds to Luo Qingniu. He spoke of the state of the Three Thousand Worlds, the invasion of foreign races, the once Luo Tian Realm, and now the Blue Star and its surrounding shard worlds in imminent danger. Finally, Luo Qingniu sighed and said: "When the lips are gone, the teeth feel the cold... such a simple truth, yet the forces of the Three Thousand Worlds do not understand it, it''s truly laughable!" "If other forces had been willing to assist back then... working together with my Luo Tian Sect''s progenitor, the foreign races might have been expelled long ago!" "Alas, everything in the world has its fate... this catastrophe seems unavoidable for our Three Thousand Worlds!" After saying this, Luo Qingniu looked up at the sky, lost in thought. Seizing the moment, Su Xing asked his burning question: "Senior, I wish to ask... now that the Qingyun Sect''s ancestor, Qing Yunzi, attempted to slay the three corpses but ultimately failed, thus leading him to madness, altering his mind and nature..." "Is there any way to restore Qing Yunzi''s original nature... after all, a Semi-Saint is a cornerstone of our Three Thousand Worlds!" Upon hearing this, Luo Qingniu sighed softly and said: Chapter 297 Golden Talent: Seeking Dragons and Acupuncture Points, the True Luotian Legacy!【8k】_4 "Slaying the Three Corpses in reverse, once it begins, it cannot be stopped...""Unless Qing Yunzi himself realizes the problem, but several millennia of cultivation efforts will be in vain... Qing Yunzi will only fall deeper into madness!" "With my insight, I fear it''s difficult to change the outcome..." Su Xing felt a bit helpless upon hearing Luo Qingniu say there was no solution. Unless absolutely necessary, having someone like Qing Yunzi as an adversary was certainly not a good thing for Su Xing. But at this point, there was no way to resolve it either... "Sigh, never mind... better stay far away!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. During this visit to the Luo Tian Sect, Su Xing had already benefited greatly and had no more extravagant desires. In the remaining time, Su Xing continued to stay in the Luo Tian Sect to further study puppet arts and to make up for his shortcomings in low-rank spells... ... Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality. "Phew... The Luotian Legacy is truly a treasure that makes one envious!" "Next, just finding those treasures in the Minor Thousand Worlds will be enough to yield significant gains for me!" Su Xing rubbed his chin, recalling the coordinates of those treasures in his mind. "Hmm? It seems... there''s a Luotian Legacy located in the Blackwater Realm!" Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing''s eyes lit up. Back then, when the disciples of Luo Tian Sect fled, the divisions of the major legacies varied in distance, with very few near the Little Qingyun Realm. Besides the legacy Su Xing already had from the Spiritual Ancestral Land, the Blackwater Realm was the only world whose location Su Xing knew. "Well then, it''s perfect, just as I need to go to the Blackwater Realm to find the All-Encompassing Flower; I can investigate it at that time!" Su Xing nodded slightly and looked at the simulation panel. [After leaving the Luo Tian Instance, you gained significantly.] [In the following year, you continued to craft puppets, attempting to establish a force of puppets within the Seven Nations and Twelve Domains.] [Though the Twelve Domains were chaotic, strength ruled above all, and the puppet organization quickly gained a foothold, becoming a renowned group that brought you considerable resources.] [Meanwhile, thanks to Luo Shuying''s cooperation, the puppet organization remained relatively hidden from the Descending Sect...] [In the second year, you took out the previously prepared All-Encompassing Flower to attempt the refinement of the Earth Origin Pill...] In the real world, Su Xing felt a surge in his heart upon seeing this and silently chanted: "Use immersive simulation, duration two months!" [Ding...] With the simulated prompt sound, Su Xing''s figure appeared in the simulated world. Taking out the Spirit Awakening Pill, Su Xing murmured: "Although the effect of taking the Spirit Awakening Pill would be better seventy-seven years later... the cultivation of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision cannot wait that long!" "I need to reach Perfection in the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision as soon as possible... Before that, my Earth Origin Pill refining technique still needs improvement!" Previously, Su Xing''s Earth Origin Pill refining technique was at the Minor Achievement level, still a bit away from Great Achievement. Only at the Mahayana Level could the top-grade Earth Origin Pills be refined, ensuring a faster body refinement speed for Su Xing. Thus, Su Xing decided to first enhance his Earth Origin Pill refining skills. After ingesting the Spirit Awakening Pill, Su Xing spent the following month crazily refining pills. Refining two batches of Earth Origin Pills a day, Su Xing managed to refine a total of sixty batches of Earth Origin Pills within a month. With a pill success rate of around eighty percent, Su Xing ended up with fifty batches of Earth Origin Pills, totaling one hundred fifty pills. "Unfortunately... still a bit short of Great Achievement..." Su Xing shook his head slightly and continued refining during the remaining month of immersive simulation time. Finally, in the last few days of the immersive simulation, Su Xing successfully refined his first batch of top-grade Earth Origin Pills! The effect of top-grade Earth Origin Pills was more than twice that of regular Earth Origin Pills! This meant Su Xing''s Earth Origin Pill refining skill had successfully reached the Mahayana Level! ... The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad... the pill success rate is about ninety percent!" "The chance of refining top-grade Earth Origin Pills is about ten percent..." Su Xing calculated that with the hundred eighty-plus Earth Origin Pill herbs in his possession, he could refine more than five hundred Earth Origin Pills, enough to support nearly fifty years of his cultivation! "Before the secret of Blackwater Realm opens, I can stay on Blue Star for a few more years to cultivate the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!" Su Xing thought, casting his gaze at the simulation panel. [Next, you spent half a year refining a total of one hundred eighty batches of Earth Origin Pills, resulting in 470 pills, including 50 top-grade Earth Origin Pills.] [You began consuming Earth Origin Pills to aid your Grand Witch Body Refining Decision training!] [For the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, what you cultivate is the essence and the physical body, refining primarily the Origin Force within your body!] [Without the Earth Origin Pill, you could still cultivate, but the speed would be extremely slow, almost imperceptible.] [With the Earth Origin Pill, you could clearly sense your body refinement speed increasing several times over.] [Consuming one Earth Origin Pill per month, your cultivation speed equaled six months of past effort!] [Thus, eight years passed.] Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the tenth year, you felt a slight improvement in your Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, with the Origin Force flower within you beginning to bloom slightly.] [The Origin Force within your body flowed endlessly, and even your physical strength increased by about ten percent compared to before.] [With joy in your heart, you continued your Grand Witch Body Refining Decision cultivation.] [Thus, another ten years passed.] [During these ten years, besides cultivating, you occasionally took time to explore the instance worlds near Blue Star, hoping to find large Alien Metal Veins in those instances.] [However, after exploring dozens of instance worlds, you only discovered a few low-rank Alien Metal veins, which did not pique your interest.] [The Talent for Dragon Pointmanship allowed you to have an innate sense, detecting the presence of Alien Metals and Heaven and Earth Treasures within a ten-mile radius.] Chapter 297 Golden Talent Seeking Dragon Acupuncture, The True Luotian Legacy! (8k)_5 [The higher the quality of the minerals and exotic treasures, the stronger the sense...][You traveled through those alternate worlds for ten years, but did not find any, which means there are indeed no high-rank exotic metal veins in those places...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and felt a bit helpless. "In the territory of the Great Xia Country, more than ninety percent of the exotic metal replicas are probably already controlled by the Great Xia Country... With thousands of years of accumulation, to obtain a large quantity of exotic metals, one still needs to get them from their hands!" "However... this Dragon-Searching and Acupuncture Spot Talent is still quite good. Previously, the range for geological experts was only one mile, but now it has become ten miles. The efficiency of this search is directly increased a hundredfold!" Su Xing was very satisfied with this, but it was a pity that the exotic metals on Blue Star were limited. Perhaps in the future, Su Xing could go to the alternate worlds abroad to have a look, or directly search in the Three Thousand Worlds? "There is no hurry... but twenty years have passed, and it is almost time for me to go to the Three Thousand Worlds!" Thinking thus, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the twentieth year, your Grand Witch Body Refining Decision made some progress again, but the search for exotic metal veins was fruitless.] [You decided to go to the Three Thousand Worlds to find the Luotian Legacy...] [You informed the high level of the Great Xia about the future large-scale invasion of the Foreign Race, but letting them abandon their homeland was indeed difficult. Even if you tried your best to mislead, you could only preserve a seed for the Great Xia Country.] [However, fortunately, your family and friends were willing to go with you to the Three Thousand Worlds to take refuge...] Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire [Passing through the alternate space, you arrived in the Little Qingyun Realm!] [After settling your family and friends in White Emperor City, you went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to sell information and obtained a large batch of resources.] [In the same year, you drove the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and went to the Blackwater Realm!] [After arriving in the Blackwater Realm, you immediately went to the location Luo Qingniu told you about.] [But even after searching the location thoroughly, using the power of the Dragon-Searching and Acupuncture Spot, you still did not find any trace of the Luo Tian Sect legacy.] [You guessed in your heart that perhaps the cultivators of Luo Tian Sect were intercepted and killed halfway... or the Luo Tian legacy had already been discovered by other cultivators and was not there...] [But you did not intend to give up so easily, instead, you searched for possible treasures in the Blackwater Realm using the Dragon-Searching and Acupuncture Spot Talent.] [In the Blackwater Realm, most of it is the sea, with very little land area, but there is a cultivation sect, the Blackwater Sect!] [You disguised yourself and concealed your breath, and went into the Blackwater Sect to investigate...] [To your surprise, through your investigation, you did find a trace of the Luo Tian legacy...] [According to ancient records in the Blackwater Sect teachings, they were not native cultivators of the Blackwater Realm but migrated from another realm hundreds of thousands of years ago.] [Their ancestors also produced a great cultivator of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [But through endless years of inheritance, the initial batch of cultivators disbanded and split, taking parts of the heritage and losing the most precious inherited treasure of the Blackwater Sectthe Weak Water Black Banner!] [It is said that this banner is an acquired treasure, capable of controlling the powerful weak water, devouring all things in the world...] [Knowing that the Luo Tian legacy scattered in the Blackwater Realm had already been utilized, you felt a bit lost but still investigated.] [You discovered that in the Blackwater Realm, several cultivators had the aura of practicing the Blood Immortal Scripture, confirming that the Blackwater Realm had been deeply infiltrated by the Descending Sect...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly. "Weak Water Black Banner... an acquired treasure?" As Su Xing recalled, he once saw a taciturn cultivator in the Descending Sect using a powerful offensive method that seemed similar to this Weak Water Black Banner. "Could it be that the Luo Tian legacy along with the Weak Water Black Banner was obtained by that cultivator?" Su Xing frowned slightly, calculating the time. "At this moment... that cultivator should still be in the Blackwater Realm, maybe the Luo Tian legacy is with him?" Su Xing''s eyes lit up, and he looked at the simulation panel. [The Weak Water Black Banner undoubtedly piqued your interest. You started searching in the Blackwater Realm for the taciturn cultivator you encountered before.] [It did not take you long to find the location of the taciturn cultivator.] [To avoid alerting the Descending Sect, you waited silently for the right moment.] [Soon, three years passed...] S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the twenty-third year, one day the taciturn cultivator left the Blackwater Sect and headed into the endless ocean, finally stopping in a certain sea area and plunging into the water.] [Feeling a bit curious, you hid your breath and followed him from a distance, using divine sense to monitor his movements...] Chapter 298 Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, Great Battle Heavenly Immortal Realm! [8k] [Diving into the deep sea, you locked onto the cultivator with your Divine Sense and quickly discovered that he was headed toward a specific location with a clear objective.][During this time, the cultivator was cautious and concealed his aura along the way, fearing that he was being followed.] [But the difference in Cultivation Level between you two was vast. No matter how careful he was, he was unable to detect your presence...] [Soon, both of you descended tens of thousands of feet deep into the sea. The cultivator stopped in front of an underwater cave and activated a small Formation, then entered it.] [You did not choose to enter rashly but hid outside.] [Half a day later, the reticent cultivator left the Formation, looking joyful.] [Seeing this, you hesitated no longer. You directly took action and captured him, then used the Soul Searching Technique on him...] [Moments later, you too felt joyful, having obtained the information you wanted.] [As you expected, the cultivator had been cultivated by the Descending Sect hundreds of years ago as an undercover agent in the Blackwater Realm, secretly monitoring the situation there, waiting for the right time to launch an invasion.] [Moreover, hundreds of years ago, the cultivator had inadvertently entered a Secret Realm and gained part of the Luo Tian Legacy!] [Among that legacy was the Weak Water Black Flag, countless Spirit Stones and Spiritual Liquid, and numerous inheritances...] [But with great treasures and no strength to protect them, the cultivator decided to hide the treasures and most of the resources in this deep-sea Formation space, retrieving a portion of the resources every decade for his cultivation...] [It was precisely because of this that he was able to grow from a mere Divinity Transformation cultivator to his current Mahayana stage in just a few hundred years!] [Nonetheless, the remaining Luo Tian Legacy would now belong to you!] [With that thought, you entered the Formation...] In the real world, Su Xing''s heart moved as he saw this and silently recited, "Use Immersive Simulation, duration one day!" [Ding...] With the sound of the prompt, Su Xing appeared in the space within the Formation. This was a hidden cave. As soon as Su Xing entered, his Dragon-seeking Talent started to function, eventually guiding him to several hidden Storage Magical Artifacts. Without hesitation, Su Xing took out the Storage Magical Artifacts and was soon shocked by the wealth inside. Nearly a billion low-grade Spirit Stones, tens of millions of mid-grade Spirit Stones, and even close to three million high-grade Spirit Stones! What excited Su Xing even more was the Spiritual Liquid inside! High-grade Spiritual Liquid, approximately five million drops, ten million drops of mid-grade Spiritual Liquid, and tens of millions of low-grade Spiritual Liquid... Su Xing put away the Storage Magical Artifacts containing Spirit Stones and Spiritual Liquid, shaking his head as he said, "This amount of Spiritual Liquid is probably not all of the Luotian Legacy in the Blackwater Realm... But considering the passage of several great cycles, it''s already quite good to have this much left!" According to the information Su Xing had obtained, the Luo Tian Sect cultivator who had fled to the Blackwater Realm back then should have had a Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivation Level, and the resources he carried would have been more abundant than what Luo Binger had initially brought. But after hundreds of thousands of years, who knows what might have changed. "Even so... these Spiritual Liquids and Spirit Stones are quite valuable to me!" "Combined with the resources I obtained from the Spiritual Ancestral Land earlier, the resources for cultivation after reaching the Earth Immortal Realm should be sufficient!" Su Xing nodded slightly, then inspected the other Storage Magical Artifacts. Various Magical Treasures and Cultivation Techniques were piled up like mountains, but there was no trace of a protective puppet, which further convinced Su Xing that the initial legacy was far more extensive than this. "And this Weak Water Black Flag..." Su Xing''s heart moved, and a black flag appeared in his hands. Feeling the terrifying power contained within it, Su Xing was shocked. "A true Acquired Treasure! It''s a pity that after several great cycles, the Artifact Spirit is lost... But it remains an Acquired Treasure!" Su Xing then took out a Divine Skill, "Three Thousand Weak Waters!" Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire This Divine Skill was one of the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Divine Skills! When used in conjunction with the Weak Water Black Flag, if a late-stage Earth Immortal Realm cultivator cultivated it to Great Achievement, they could contend with Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators! "However... it requires a Water Spiritual Root to maximize its power..." Su Xing shook his head slightly and put it away. Without a Water Spiritual Root, performing this Divine Skill would naturally be less effective. After looting the treasures in the cave, Su Xing ensured there were no omissions, then took all the storage resources on that cultivator''s body, finding tens of thousands more high-grade Spiritual Liquid drops. "Though it''s killing to seize treasures... those of the Descending Sect are treacherous and deserve to be eradicated!" Su Xing thought this, secretly noting the position of the underwater cave so that he could obtain more resources with each subsequent simulation. ... After the Immersive Simulation ended, Su Xing returned to reality and looked at the simulation panel again. [After leaving the underwater cave, you obtained numerous resources.] [You erased the traces of your presence there, destroyed the Formation, and went to the vicinity of the underwater Secret Realm where the All-Encompassing Flower was born.] [For the next ten years, you practiced the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision daily while using your Dragon-seeking Talent to search for possible Heaven and Earth Treasures and mineral veins in the Blackwater Realm.] [Thus, over a decade passed.] [In the thirty-fifth year, as you continued using the Earth Origin Pill for cultivation, your Cultivation Level grew steadily, but the cultivation of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision required the accumulation of years, so growth was slow.] [However, consuming one Earth Origin Pill per month also gradually reduced the number of Earth Origin Pills you had refined previously.] [After much thought, you decided to reduce the number of Earth Origin Pills you consumed and save them for use after seventy-seven years...] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly as he saw this. "Not bad... After a hundred years old, under the blessing of being a Late Bloomer, one Earth Origin Pill is worth two... If too many are used before then, it would be a waste!" Chapter 299 3,000 Sword Qi Barriers, Capable of Slashing Heavenly Immortal Realm! 【9k】 Su Xing glanced at the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, nodded slightly, and said:"As expected, just as I thought, the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method is an unparalleled secret technique, and its direct exchange price is indeed exorbitant..." "However, by recalling it from my own memory, I saved a considerable amount of simulated energy." Without hesitation, Su Xing said directly: "I choose to bring out the talent ''Dragon Pointing and Vein Seeking'' and the second level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision (Minor Achievement)!" As soon as he finished speaking, a notification sound from the simulator sounded in his ears. [You have successfully brought out the talent ''Dragon Pointing and Vein Seeking'', costing 10 points of origin energy source. Remaining origin energy source: 131,162 points...] [You have successfully brought out the second level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision (Minor Achievement), costing 60,000 points of origin energy source. Remaining origin energy source: 71,162 points...] With the end of the simulation notification sound, two mysterious energies surged into Su Xing''s body. In the next second, Su Xing felt his entire body''s momentum and physical strength soar! Ten mountain and river forces... fifteen mountain and river forces... twenty mountain and river forces! In the end, Su Xing''s physical strength reached twenty-five mountain and river forces! The second level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, from entry to minor achievement, more than doubled Su Xing''s physical strength! At the same time, the Yuan Flower within Su Xing''s body also underwent significant changes, transforming into a flower bud, appearing ready to bloom. With the transformation of the Yuan Flower, the quality of Su Xing''s origin force also improved further! Originally, the origin force''s enhancement to strength was about threefold, but now it increased to approximately fourfold! Combined with Su Xing''s pure physical strength, each punch from Su Xing could possess the force of over a hundred mountains and rivers! Moments later, Su Xing adapted to the surging strength within his body, feeling somewhat incredulous. "Now, if I unleash a full-force strike using my origin force... it should be enough to shake the continental plate, right?" Su Xing''s heart surged with excitement. Over a hundred mountain and river forces, and mid-stage Earth Immortal Realm in physical body, this had already transcended the knowledge of profession users! With such tremendous power, a single punch could likely cause an earthquake within thousands of miles! sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing estimated, even if the Blue Star advanced several thousand years, even those at the god level profession users, their strength would still be far inferior to his current state. "If Earth Immortal Realm cultivators fought with full force on Blue Star... it might be enough to make continental plates drift and oceans change!" "Although it wouldn''t destroy the entire world, the aftermath of the battle might devastate most of the biological life here!" Su Xing sighed, increasingly understanding that possessing strength necessitated great caution and never forgetting one''s original heart. "But, it''s still far from enough... If I reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm, I might be able to delay the destruction of the Little Qingyun Realm?" "If I attain the True Immortal Realm, I could inherit the legacy within the Luo Tian Mirror! By then, my foundation would experience a qualitative leap!" "Even that looming Red Moon overhead... if I achieved the Profound Immortal Realm, I''d dare to face it head-on!" Su Xing took a deep breath, feeling an increasing urgency for strength improvement. "But I shouldn''t aim too high... My current strength could be considered invincible in the Earth Immortal Realm, but there''s still a way to go to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm..." "If I could obtain the star-attracting divine skill from the Star Realm... my strength might increase further!" Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing felt a pang of desire. From the simulation''s situation, that divine skill was at least on the level of Earth Fiend Grade Divine Skills; if Su Xing acquired it, his combat power would further enhance. But immediately, Su Xing shook his head slightly, feeling that it was unwise to bite off more than he could chew. He should first improve his current divine skills. "Sigh, but ultimately, the most important thing is the cultivation realm... The improvement of cultivation still requires energy!" "If I elevate the second level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision to perfection, it would probably require another 120,000 points of energy!" "At the end of the day, it''s still all about making money!" Thinking of this, Su Xing checked the time and began to disguise and conceal his aura, preparing to trade with Lu Yuanwu. Moments later, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave, acquiring another 20,000 points of origin energy source. Afterward, Su Xing made time to repair the puppets while removing the evil energy from the Spirit Vein Dragon. Because the Spirit Vein Dragon was heavily shrouded in black energy, Su Xing had to rearrange the evil energy-exorcising formation periodically to ensure the removal of evil energy. Thus, a week passed by quickly. During this period, Su Xing used sword flight to make a trip to the Xianwu World, gathering the raw alien metal ores for the new week. ... Time came to October 7, 2025. Su Xing went to the villa on time to meet Jin Congxue. In the new week, he got nearly 27,000 points of origin energy source. Looking at the six-figure origin energy source on the panel, Su Xing felt somewhat satisfied. After the transaction, Su Xing and Jin Congxue spent some intimate moments together before returning to the Spirit Field Cave. ... The simulation cooldown ended, and Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation! "Start the simulation!" [The 107th simulation begins. Remaining origin energy source: 118,862 points... Remaining simulation attempts: None.] [Simulation starts!] [Drawing golden legendary talent costs 1 point of origin energy source, proceed with the draw?] "It''s time to enhance the Path of Artifact Refining!" Su Xing frowned slightly, not rushing to draw a talent. In the previous simulation, Su Xing faced a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator from the Star Realm and eventually died in defeat. Apart from the difference in cultivation, the gap in magical treasures could not be ignored. Therefore, if Su Xing could further refine the Ink Ice Sword, he might not be able to defeat such a powerful Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator, but fighting an ordinary early-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator wouldn''t be a big problem. "But the current issue is... my previous artifact refining talent was merely the purple-tier Artifact Refining Genius. If only I had the golden artifact refining talent..." Su Xing sighed. He also had a talent named Fiery Flame Divine Body, which could enhance his understanding of the Path of Artifact Refining. If combined with the Artifact Refining Genius, the effect might be quite good. Chapter 299 3,000 Sword Qi Barriers, Capable of Slashing Heavenly Immortal Realm! 【9k】_2 "Should I choose the previous talent for artifact refining? But doing so... I''d lose a chance to draw a golden talent!"Su Xing was slightly conflicted. If it were a golden artifact refining talent, Su Xing would not hesitate. But a purple one... seemed not worth it. "Take a gamble, turn a bike into a motorcycle!" "Purple talents are already a bit outdated. I still need a golden talent!" "If I can''t draw a golden artifact refining talent within four simulations... I''ll just take out the purple artifact refining talent then..." Su Xing quickly made a decision. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire Because the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision greatly increased the growth of Origin Force, the speed of nurturing the Origin Artifact would also be much faster. Su Xing hoped to re-refine the Ink Ice Sword before nurturing the Origin Artifact, enhancing its quality to maximize the benefits. "Draw the gold talent!" Su Xing gritted his teeth. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent "Flowing Water With No Intent." The probability of drawing a golden talent in the next simulation is 70%...] [Flowing Water With No Intent]: Purple talent, you can sense the fluctuation of water, significantly enhancing your comprehension of the Great Dao of Water. "Sigh..." Su Xing shook his head slightly. A purple talent that increased comprehension of the Great Dao of Water was presently useless to him. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Since I didn''t draw a golden talent, I''ll go with the plan!" Su Xing muttered. This time, he planned to further enhance his body refinement power. It would be best if the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision could reach completion. Besides, it seemed necessary to further enhance his Body-Protecting Sword Aura! "From past experience, it''s best to take the Earth Origin Pill seventy-seven years later for maximum effect!" "Twelve pills a year, at least seven hundred Earth Origin Pills are needed..." Su Xing estimated that after achieving Great Achievement in Earth Origin Pill refining, three hundred and sixty All-Encompassing Flowers would be enough for him to refine over a thousand Earth Origin Pills. This meant that in the first seventy-seven years, he should use as few Earth Origin Pills as possible. In the later sixty or so years, with the help of Earth Origin Pills, his cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort! After a brief contemplation to ensure nothing was missed, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation...] [Accumulating a day of the Great Wisdom talent''s blessing, you head to the Luo Tian Instance to study the Dao of Puppets...] [Two months later, you''ve mined out the alien metal veins in the Immortal Martial Era Instance.] [You head to the Beast Taming Realm Instance and place thirty puppets there to mine. According to your estimation, this alien metal vein should take about four months to mine.] [Thus, a year passes.] [In the second year, you accumulate two months of the Great Wisdom talent''s blessing and prepare to refine Earth Origin Pills.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and made a slight calculation. "Thirty mining puppets can provide me with twenty-five thousand points of Origin Energy Source per week... that''s one hundred thousand points a month..." "So, the two instances have nearly six hundred thousand points of alien metal raw ore..." Su Xing frowned slightly. Six hundred thousand points of Origin Energy Source might be enough before reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm. But after the Heavenly Immortal Realm? At the current consumption rate of Origin Energy Source, advancing a minor realm after the Heavenly Immortal Realm might require up to one hundred thousand points! Would the resources from all the instances near Blue Star be enough for Su Xing to advance to the True Immortal Realm? This was a problem that troubled Su Xing... "However... since the Spirit Realm is a complete instance world, it might also contain quite a bit of alien metal raw ore? I could go explore it?" According to the original timeline, the Spirit Realm''s destruction would be in about seven or eight years. Of course, this was without external interference. But as long as Su Xing wished, he could easily extend the Spirit Realm''s lifespan, delaying its destruction by at least twenty or thirty years. "But now, let''s refine the Earth Origin Pills first!" "Use immersive simulation... duration two months!" [Ding...] With the simulation prompt, Su Xing entered the simulated world. He then decisively took the Spirit Awakening Pill and activated the Great Wisdom state. Su Xing began refining the Earth Origin Pills. In one month, Su Xing refined sixty furnaces of Earth Origin Pills, achieving a pill success rate of ninety-eight percent, with only one furnace resulting in waste pills. Moreover, he refined twenty furnaces of top-grade Earth Origin Pills, with a top-grade pill success rate of over thirty percent! "Phew... the Earth Origin Pill refining technique is nearing perfection!" "Just a little more..." Under the blessing of the Spirit Awakening Pill, Su Xing''s progress was rapid. In the next month''s immersive simulation, Su Xing finally perfected his Earth Origin Pill refining technique. Thus, the probability of refining top-grade Earth Origin Pills reached fifty percent, and the pill success rate was one hundred percent! ... After the immersive simulation ended, Su Xing was quite satisfied with his alchemy results. "Not bad. With top-grade Earth Origin Pills, my cultivation speed with the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision will increase significantly. I might even break through to the Mahayana level in one go!" Su Xing nodded slightly and redirected his gaze back to the simulation panel. [You spent several months refining one hundred and eighty furnaces of Earth Origin Pills.] [A total of five hundred and thirty pills were formed, with two hundred and thirty being top-grade Earth Origin Pills.] [You did not rush to take these pills but instead took a trip to the Spirit Realm.] [Using the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point talent, you spent three years carefully exploring the Spirit Realm.] [As expected, you found high-level alien metal veins in the Spirit Realm.] [You discovered about one hundred fourth-rank special metal veins, enough to supply the mining puppets for half a year.] [In the fifth year, you visited the Beast Taming Realm, cleared out the foreign race, and returned to Blue Star, preparing to head to the Little Qingyun Realm.] [You placed your family and some Profession Users from the Great Xia Country in the Spirit Field Cave and headed to the Little Qingyun Realm.] Chapter 299 3,000 Sword Qi Barriers, Capable of Slashing Heavenly Immortal Realm! 【9k】_3 [Appearing in the familiar northern part of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the first thing you did was go to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in White Emperor City to sell information.][Besides earning Spirit Stones by selling information, you also purchased intelligence on dozens of Minor Thousand Worlds nearby. Among them were several Minor Thousand Worlds where the descendants of the Luo Tian Sect had fled.] [You meticulously recorded this information without rushing to explore, instead ensuring your family and friends were settled before preparing to head to the Blackwater Realm.] [In the sixth year, you arrived at the Blackwater Realm and went to the underwater cave where you had been before. You retrieved all the resources, magical treasures, and divine skills hidden in the cave.] [Afterwards, you erased your tracks and secluded yourself near the All-Encompassing Flower Secret Realm.] [During your seclusion, you took an Earth Origin Pill every three months, and your Grand Witch Body Refining Decision also improved day by day.] Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, murmuring: "Apart from boosting my Body Refinement techniques and abilities... I also need to further cultivate my Body-Protecting Sword Aura!" Su Xing currently mastered a total of two thousand two hundred strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura. This number was considerable, sufficient to dominate Earth Immortal Realm cultivators without being defeated. But now, Su Xing had begun to grasp his own unique sword paththe Sword of Safety! This meant the upper limit of his Body-Protecting Sword Aura could be increased further! Two thousand two hundred strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura were already insufficient. "Apart from body refinement, I also need to further cultivate my Body-Protecting Sword Aura!" Su Xing thought this and looked at the Simulation Panel. [In the seventh year, besides practicing the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, you also began cultivating your Body-Protecting Sword Aura.] [You practiced for four hours a day, and the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras you mastered gradually increased.] [Thus, twenty-three years passed.] [In the thirtieth year, you had taken nearly a hundred Earth Origin Pills over the years, all of ordinary quality, and you still had over four hundred remaining.] [You felt the Origin Force flower within you bloom, and the strength of your physical body reached the power of thirty mountains and rivers.] [Meanwhile, the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras you commanded reached two thousand four hundred strands!] [The power of your Body-Protecting Sword Aura further increased!] [Another five years passed.] [In the thirty-fifth year, you successfully obtained one hundred and eighty All-Encompassing Flowers and killed three cadres of the Descending Sect.] [After acquiring the All-Encompassing Flowers, you didn''t hesitate. You went straight to the Star Realm!] [After six months of traveling through the void, you finally reached the Star Realm safely.] [As expected, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat was severely damaged and could no longer continue its journey.] [You entered the Spirit Field Cave and meditated for half a year, regaining your peak strength.] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "Coming to the Star Realm earlier is perfect, as it allows me to search for the scattered Star Observation Methods among the tribes more quickly!" "While cultivating, at the rate of collecting from ten tribes a year... one simulation should be enough to gather a thousand Star Observation Methods!" "At this rate, three to five simulations will be enough to completely gather the ''Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method''!" Su Xing''s heart filled with anticipation. This was a supreme divine power involving the Dao of Causality and Destiny! If Su Xing could fully collect and master this ''Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method''. Not only could he shield himself from Qing Yunzi''s perception and extend simulation time. It could also potentially deduce causality and destiny! The allure of this was too tempting, even for Su Xing. "Phew... then let''s proceed methodically among the tribes!" "But it''s best to start with the smaller tribes... otherwise, if Earth Immortal Realm cultivators appear, it would be troublesome!" Su Xing drew lessons from his previous experiences and looked at the Simulation Panel. [After regaining your strength, you reappeared in the Star Realm.] [As expected, dozens of native cultivators from the Star Realm ambushed you.] [You paid two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones to secure temporary residency in the Star Realm.] [In the following fifteen years, apart from cultivation, you focused on collecting Star Observation Methods from various tribes.] [In the fiftieth year, you had gathered Star Observation Methods from two hundred different tribes, organizing them and further perfecting the ''Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method'' in your possession.] Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire [That year, the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras you commanded reached two thousand five hundred strands.] [In the fifty-first year, through continuous research on Star Observation Methods from various tribes, you discovered that the stars in the sky had their own ''factions'' or constellations!] [The relationships between the stars seemed to correspond to the relationships between the tribes of the Star Realm, whether hostile or friendly...] [This made you even more curious.] [In the sixtieth year, you diligently cultivated your Body-Protecting Sword Aura, and the number of strands reached two thousand five hundred and fifty.] [You estimated that the ultimate limit of your Sword Dao embryo would be around three thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura!] [This quantity would grant you the combat strength of a Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [In the following twenty years, besides cultivation, you focused most of your efforts on collecting Star Observation Methods.] [With your increasing skill in stealing Star Observation Methods, you became more proficient, and you always returned them the next day, having memorized them.] [This did not attract the attention of the cultivators in the Star Realm.] [In the eightieth year, during the past forty-some years, you collected nearly six hundred Star Observation Methods, faster than you had originally anticipated.] [Counting the previously gathered Star Observation Methods, you had accumulated over one thousand two hundred methods in total.] [Among these, most of the contents were repetitive and contradictory, but you sifted through them, extracting the essence and discarding the dross. Gradually, you pieced together a complete ''Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method.''] [You estimated that you had collected a quarter of this Star Observation Method.

In the Little Qingyun Realm, I should be considered a significant figure.""Unfortunately, my opponents are still too strong Red Moon, Blood Three, Qing Yunzi, or even the entire Descending Sect, are not forces that a mere Heavenly Immortal cultivator can contend with!" Su Xing pressed his lips together, reminding himself not to get complacent with a bit of strength and cultivation. If he didn''t hold back until he was invincible, there was always a risk of death! Thinking such, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [After achieving Great Success in the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, you continued to use the few remaining Earth Origin Pills to accelerate your cultivation.] [Several months passed.] [One day, your talent for avoiding danger gave a frantic warning...] [The next day, Qing Yunzi attacked...] [Qing Yunzi performed a soul search on you...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing slightly shook his head and sighed: "Indeed, I still couldn''t avoid the calamity of Qing Yunzi!" "But fortunately, the goal of this simulation has been basically achieved!" Su Xing knew that if he wanted to simulate for longer, he needed to enhance his Qi Refining cultivation and escape to a more distant world. Additionally, he needed to deepen his understanding of the Path of Causality and Destiny to prevent Qing Yunzi''s divination. "But for now, I should extract my cultivation level insights first!" Su Xing eagerly looked at the reward list. [Flowing Water]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 Origin Energy Source point.

After mastering, the number of Sword Qi Barriers will increase to 3,000 paths, priced at 20,000 Origin Energy Sources. Without hesitation, Su Xing silently muttered: "I choose to take out the second layer cultivation of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and the insights into the Body-Protecting Sword Aura!" [You have successfully taken out the second layer (Great Success) of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, costing 60,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source: 58,793 points...] [You have successfully taken out the Body-Protecting Sword Aura (Three Thousand Paths), costing 20,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source: 38,793 points...] As the simulation prompt sound ended, two streams of mysterious energy surged into Su Xing''s body. First, the significant change was Su Xing''s physical body cultivation level! Originally, Su Xing''s pure physical body strength was the power of twenty-five mountains and rivers! And now Su Xing''s physical body strength doubled again, from the power of twenty-five mountains and rivers to fifty mountains and rivers! Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire If combined with Origin Force, it would grant five times the strength and physical enhancement! Feeling the surge of power within him, Su Xing vaguely sensed an omnipotent feeling. "The ancient Witch Clan... lifting an entire world might not be an exaggeration?" "The Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, each layer of cultivation is horrifying!" "If it were to be cultivated to the final layer... what kind of terrifying power would it possess?" Su Xing felt a bit excited, as he had only cultivated to the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and already possessed such terrifying power. As for the ancient times, those Witch Clan members who were comparable to the Daluo Golden Immortal would be even more terrifying! This transformation was not limited to Su Xing''s Body Refinement cultivation level. Su Xing''s mind moved, and three thousand golden phantom small swords surrounded his body, emitting a continuous soft hum! "The three thousand paths of Body-Protecting Sword Aura have been raised to the current limit. This is a technique that only true Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators can possess!" "Ordinary Earth Shattering Divine Abilities may not match the power of my Body-Protecting Sword Aura..." Su Xing felt a bit emotional. The upper limit of a cultivator''s strength was always determined by their most adept technique. For Su Xing, it was the Body-Protecting Sword Aura! The three thousand paths of Body-Protecting Sword Aura, both offensive and defensive, could pierce through the entire continent and reach ten thousand miles below the surface with one sword! "However, if I want this technique to maintain its advantage, I still need to continue diligently cultivating the Sword Dao... otherwise, after the Heavenly Immortal Realm, I might blend in with the other Immortals?" Su Xing sighed. To cultivate to the Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal Realm, each cultivator was an unrivaled genius before becoming an Immortal! But step by step, breaking through to higher realms, seeing higher landscapes, they would understand that there were always more powerful beings beyond them. Once powerful figures in the Earth Immortal Realm, after advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, might only be considered ordinary. Genius might constantly fall, but within each realm, there would always be geniuses! Su Xing constantly reminded himself that if he did not want to be crushed by cultivators of the same realm, his cultivation level must be stable and profound, and his divine abilities should not be lacking... "But for now, my current strength on Blue Star is absolutely safe!" "Considering the time, it should be time to meet with Lu Yuanwu!" Su Xing disguised himself and hid his aura, heading to trade with Lu Yuanwu. Flying on his sword to the agreed mountain, Su Xing used spatial power, appearing in front of Lu Yuanwu in the next second. "Senior, you are here!" Lu Yuanwu had long been accustomed to Su Xing''s mysterious comings and goings, respectfully bowed. Then, he skillfully took out a storage ring and handed it to Su Xing: "Senior, this is for this week''s, ten thousand tons of third-grade alien metal!" Lu Yuanwu said eagerly. Su Xing took the storage ring and casually converted it into 20,000 points of Origin Energy Source. Then a thousand Origin Martial Pills fell in front of Lu Yuanwu. After the transaction was completed, Su Xing didn''t rush to leave. Including this transaction''s 20,000 Origin Energy Sources, Su Xing had nearly 60,000 Origin Energy Source points. It might be enough for the next simulation, but he needed to prepare for future simulation energy sources. So Su Xing, moved by his thoughts, took out a Divine Strength Pill and handed it to Lu Yuanwu, saying: "This pill is called the Divine Strength Pill. Taking one pill every six months, four pills in two years, can increase the physical body and strength of a strength-type Heavenly King level profession user by over fifty percent!" "But the effect is quite strong, so it''s best to choose an experienced Heavenly King level profession user to take it..." Su Xing said so. The Divine Strength Pill was a pill for enhancing the cultivation of the Divine Strength Realm, corresponding to a Martial Emperor level strongman! If taken by a Heavenly King level strongman and used appropriately, the increase in strength would be especially significant! As soon as Su Xing finished speaking, Lu Yuanwu understood Su Xing''s implication, and his voice trembled: "Senior... you mean? This pill can help a Heavenly King level profession user advance to Martial Emperor level?" "It means... this is a pill that can create a Martial Emperor level profession user!" Su Xing nodded slightly and said: "That''s right, but the success rate is about one-third, which means that ten Divine Strength Pills can create roughly one Martial Emperor level profession user!" After getting Su Xing''s confirmation, Lu Yuanwu was so excited that he almost fainted on the spot... In previous transactions, Su Xing had mentioned to Lu Yuanwu that he possessed miraculous pills capable of creating Martial Emperor level strongmen. At that time, Lu Yuanwu was still somewhat skeptical, as there were only a few dozen Martial Emperors in the entire Great Xia Country, and only about one or two hundred in the entire Human Race. But now, seeing the "Senior''s" confident tone, Lu Yuanwu had to believe it. So, Lu Yuanwu swallowed, his voice trembling: "Senior... then, are these pills also going to be traded with us?" After hearing this, Su Xing did not rush to answer but rather took a meaningful look at Lu Yuanwu and asked: "Ahem, tell me honestly, how much alien metal can the entire Great Xia Country produce?" Chapter 300 Consecutive Explosions of Golden Talents, Su Xings First Artifact Refining! [8k] No doubt, as Su Xing''s strength grew, he was no longer satisfied with the few tens of thousands of Origin Energy Sources he received weekly!With Su Xing''s strength comparable to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he could fully withstand greater risks. If the Damned Dragon found out, Su Xing might as well go all in and take him out directly! Though eliminating the Damned Dragon could lead to Blood Three descending upon the Blue Star within three years, Su Xing could also choose to escape to the Little Qingyun Realm with his family and friends! With the resources of the Three Thousand Worlds, and Su Xing''s three years of simulation, wouldn''t he reach the Golden Immortal Realm''s cultivation level? By then... Blood Three might not even be a match for Su Xing! At this moment, Su Xing''s thought was to make money! Get more Origin Energy Sources! Upon hearing Su Xing''s question, Lu Yuanwu hesitated for a moment before carefully replying: "Senior..." "Our Great Xia Country is also poor. Could you lower the price of the elixirs a bit?" After hearing Lu Yuanwu''s words, Su Xing raised an eyebrow. Was Lu Yuanwu trying to haggle? Was he afraid he couldn''t afford the price of the Divine Strength Pills? Su Xing paused for a moment and did some rough calculations on the number of Divine Strength Pills he could produce. Currently, he had three Divine Strength Vines, enough to make about three hundred Divine Strength Pills. With Su Xing''s alchemy skills, he was confident in ensuring a hundred percent top-grade rate. Three hundred top-grade Divine Strength Pills could guarantee the birth of at least thirty Martial Emperor-level profession users in the Great Xia Country! Su Xing pondered the real weight of Martial Emperor-level profession users in the eyes of the Great Xia Country! According to Su Xing''s intel, the Great Xia Country had only a dozen or so Legendary-level profession users, all stationed at the Demon-Subduing Pass. As for Great Emperor-level combat strength, there was only one! Therefore, the Martial Emperor level was essentially the peak of the Great Xia Country''s strength, genuinely top-tier individuals! Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thirty Martial Emperor-level profession users would almost double the high-end combat power of the Great Xia Country... "Ten Origin Martial Pills could get me 200 points of Origin Energy Source..." Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire "Then one Divine Strength Pill sold for a thousand Origin Energy Sources shouldn''t be too overpriced, right?" Su Xing mused to himself. A thousand Origin Energy Sources meant five hundred tons of third-rank Alien Metal... Su Xing had a total of three hundred Divine Strength Pills. If they were all sold, he would get thirty thousand Origin Energy Sources, equating to 15 tons of third-rank Alien Metal. Given the size of the Great Xia Country, they should be able to afford it! With these thoughts, Su Xing didn''t hesitate and said directly: "One Divine Strength Pill is priced at five hundred tons of third-rank Alien Metal!" "To be honest, I only have three hundred of these Divine Strength Pills on hand..." "If you agree, go back and discuss it with your higher-ups. Give me fifteen thousand tons of third-rank Alien Metal or fifteen hundred tons of fourth-rank Alien Metal, and I''ll sell them to you!" Su Xing didn''t really care about the price, as these things cost him very little to produce. If Su Xing wished, he could casually refine several types of elixirs more advanced than the Divine Strength Pill! For example, the Rebirth Pill, not only effective but its raw materials were inexhaustible... By selling elixirs to the Great Xia Country, besides making money, Su Xing also aimed to enhance the overall strength of the Human Race as well. For instance, with the current overall strength of the Human Race, even without Su Xing''s help, they could defend the Demon-Subduing Pass for more than twenty years without any problem! "One Divine Strength Pill... fifty tons of fourth-rank Alien Metal?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanwu''s heart started to pound excitedly. This price wasn''t too high... it was too cheap! For the Great Xia Country, resources were sufficient, but they lacked talent, higher-level Human Race profession users! A Martial Emperor-level profession user played a massive role on the battlefield! And Alien Metal... to the Great Xia Country, it was just like scrap iron gathering dust in their warehouses! Thus, Lu Yuanwu thumped his chest and assured: "Senior, we don''t need fifteen thousand tons of fourth-rank Alien Metal..." "How about this, in a month, I will deliver to you twenty thousand tons of fourth-rank Alien Metal!" "By then... how about the Divine Strength Pills?" Hearing Lu Yuanwu''s words, Su Xing couldn''t help but chuckle. Lu Yuanwu sure knew how to do business. Planning to trade regularly with Su Xing undoubtedly required slightly raising the price. So, Su Xing nodded and said: "Rest assured about the Divine Strength Pills... One month later, just prepare the required Alien Metal!" After saying that, Su Xing''s figure flickered and disappeared from the spot. After Su Xing left, Lu Yuanwu finally lost his composure, excitedly clenching his fists and murmuring: "Senior is truly a good man!" "Equivalent to thirty Martial Emperor-level fighters for just twenty thousand tons of fourth-rank Alien Metal. It''s practically a gift!" "If it weren''t for Senior''s low profile, I would have loved to erect a large statue of him at the Demon-Subduing Pass!" With that, Lu Yuanwu excitedly prepared to go back and report to the higher-ups. As Lu Yuanwu obtained more and more elixirs from Su Xing, he trained many mid-to-high-level profession users for the Great Xia Country. Particularly the Origin Martial Pills, which could enhance the strength of the Grandmaster-level profession users. This further elevated Lu Yuanwu''s status! Lu Yuanwu was currently the head of the logistics department of the Great Xia Country, with almost all national treasury resources passing through his hands! If he were willing, forget twenty thousand tons of fourth-rank Alien Metal... even ten times that amount... well, Lu Yuanwu would need to consider it! ... After the transaction, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave to prepare for the refinement of the Divine Strength Pills. In a week''s time, Su Xing refined three hundred Divine Strength Pills, each of the highest quality! Just enough for the transaction with Lu Yuanwu a month later. On October 14, 2025, New Era, Su Xing went to the villa to trade with Jin Congxue. With Jin Congxue''s help, the Tarot Commerce Association''s scale grew larger and larger, and the value of goods brought to Su Xing increased as well. Chapter 300 Consecutive Explosions of Golden Talents, Su Xings First Artifact Refining! [8k]_2 Currently, the weekly revenue from refining the raw metal ores by the Tarot Commerce Association brought in twenty-five thousand Origin Energy Points, not to mention other goods and the mining of the Alien Metal instance.In one week, the Origin Energy brought to Su Xing was nearly thirty thousand points! Thus, in the new week, Su Xing had another fifty thousand Origin Energy Points credited. The total Origin Energy in hand amounted to eighty-nine thousand three hundred and ninety-three points! After the transaction was over, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave, ready to start a new round of simulation. As the simulation time had not yet cooled down, Su Xing looked at the panel and prayed: "Please, please, give me a golden quality Artifact Refining talent! The Hundred Arts of Cultivation have appeared so frequently before, haven''t they?" Su Xing performed a round of mystical chanting. Once the simulation cooldown had expired, Su Xing promptly began a new round of simulation! "Start simulation!" [The 108th simulation begins, current remaining Origin Energy is eighty-nine thousand three hundred and ninety-three points... Remaining simulation times are zero.] [Simulation starts!] [Drawing a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy. Would you like to draw?] "Hesitation leads to defeat! Draw a golden talent!" Su Xing decisively said. [Ding, congratulations! You have obtained the golden talent Talisman Master, your next chance to draw a golden talent is increased by 60%...] [Talisman Master]: A golden talent, one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, your talent in the Dao of Talisman far surpasses that of ordinary people. Your success rate in creating high-rank Talismans has significantly increased! Seeing the new talent, Su Xing was slightly disappointed but still nodded and said: "It''s still a golden talent, even though it''s not Artifact Refining... But the Dao of Talisman is also quite good!" Su Xing''s original Talisman skills were already capable of crafting seventh or eighth-rank Talismans. If he further trained, he might become a Grandmaster of Talisman, crafting Talismans exceeding the tenth rank! "Speaking of which... Tenth-rank Talismans could be considered immortal Talismans, right? That kind of quality... could probably kill a Mahayana or even a Transcendance Tribulation Stage Cultivator, right?" Su Xing rubbed his chin. Actually, Talismans were useful for more than just trading for Origin Energy! For example, if Su Xing left dozens of tenth-ranked Talismans to the Human Race before leaving Blue Star, even a Demon Saint or a God-Level Foreign Race would have difficulty breaking the Demon-Subduing Pass! If that were the case, even without Su Xing on Blue Star, the Human Race could hold out for a long time... "The Dao of Talismans does indeed need to be improved, but not right now!" "Right now, the priority is to continue improving cultivation! The goal is to upgrade the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision to the second level perfection as soon as possible!" "Unfortunately, as the cultivation level rises, it becomes increasingly difficult to advance... It took a full one hundred and forty years to advance the second level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision from minor achievement to great achievement... Will it be possible to advance to perfection in one go this time?" Su Xing was a bit worried, but even if he couldn''t achieve perfection, it shouldn''t be far off. Within two simulations, Su Xing''s goal was to bring the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision to the third level! After a brief planning session, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were in a simulation.] [You accumulated a bit of wisdom talent, then headed to the Luo Tian Instance...] "Using Immersive Simulation..." [Ding...] Su Xing''s vision shifted, and he appeared in the Luo Tian Instance. After completing the task flow, Su Xing headed to the Scripture Pavilion. This time, however, Su Xing did not choose to learn puppet skills from Ghost Grandma. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire Instead, he selected a book named "Luo Tian''s Artifact Refining Compendium" in the Scripture Pavilion to study. Luo Tian''s Artifact Refining Compendium covered many advanced refining techniques, ranging from the eighth to fifteenth rank grandmasters, with detailed descriptions. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing spent a day memorizing some of its content for later digestion. ... The Immersive Simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. "Not bad. The Luo Tian''s Artifact Refining Compendium will be enough for me to study for a long time... But before that, I need to relearn the basics of Artifact Refining!" "The Commanding Fire Sect''s Artifact Refining Manual is quite a good resource!" Su Xing muttered. Whether it was for obtaining higher quality magical treasures or repairing the spirit boat, the path of Artifact Refining had to be explored. He looked at the simulation panel. [After leaving the Luo Tian Instance, you gained a lot.] [In another half month, you successfully traded with Lu Yuanwu, obtaining twenty thousand tons of fourth-rank special metal.] [In the next six months, you refined five hundred and forty Earth Origin Pills, nearly three hundred of which were of top-quality.] [In the second year, you made a trip to the Beast Taming Realm and wiped out the Foreign Race there.] [In the third year, you visited the Descending Sect and eliminated several high-ranking members, looting the Descending Sect''s treasure vault. You then went to the Blood Demon Realm and scavenged all valuable resources.] [In the next three years, you diligently practiced the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and began to comprehend your own Sword Dao.] [In the sixth year, one day, you did some calculations and found that a calamity would occur within a month.] [You believed it might be brought by Blood Three, so you took your friends and family, along with some profession users from the Great Xia Country, and fled to the Three Thousand Worlds.] [After arriving in the Little Qingyun Realm, you went to White Emperor City. After settling your family and friends, you sold critical intelligence.] [Upon reaching the Little Qingyun Realm, the uneasy feeling gradually faded, and you knew that Blood Three wouldn''t find you easily within the short term...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "Not bad, it seems the Descending Sect''s treasure vault and the Blood Demon Realm... It''s time to take action!" "After dealing with the Descending Sect, there are three years of buffer time... This time is enough to improve many of my cultivation levels!" Chapter 300 Consecutive Explosions of Golden Talents, Su Xings First Artifact Refining! [8k]_3 Since Su Xing gained the simulator, it had only been two short years. He had risen from a Qi Cultivation Cultivator to an Earth Immortal Realm Cultivator!At this speed, advancing to the Golden Immortal Realm within the next three years was not impossible! All that was needed were more resources and energy... "It seems the real world also has a way to reach the Three Thousand Worlds..." "But the premise is, I must not attract the attention of the Red Moon!" Su Xing thought for a moment. Passing through alternate space would inevitably draw the attention of the Red Moon. Once the Red Moon noticed, it would cause unknown effects on the Blue Star, so if Su Xing went to the Three Thousand Worlds through alternate space, he was highly likely not to return. Thus, a better way would be for Su Xing to use the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to pass through Void Nodes to reach the Three Thousand Worlds! However, this required Su Xing to have higher cultivation levels and better comprehension of the Dao of Space and the Way of Cause and Effect. "Perhaps, after some time, when I inherit the Luo Tian Mirror, I shall be able to head to the Little Qingyun Realm!" Su Xing felt a bit excited. Once he entered the Three Thousand Worlds, it would mean more resources and opportunities, but of course, it also meant risks... Yet the Blue Star''s resources were limited; heading to the Three Thousand Worlds was inevitable! Su Xing shook his head slightly and murmured: "I have thought too much... Never mind, I''ll continue to refine my swordsmanship and cultivate the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision first!" Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [With your Earth Immortal Realm cultivation, you easily obtained the status of Guest Elder in White Emperor City.] [Subsequently, with this status, you went to the frontline of Heavenly Demon City to participate in the battle!] [You became a commander on the frontline battlefield of Heavenly Demon City and signed a support agreement for the frontline for twenty-five years..] [As an Earth Immortal Realm expert, you were very free, able to allocate most of your time at will.] S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You not only received generous mission rewards but were also highly respected.] [Especially since the frontline situation of the Little Qingyun Realm had been rather favorable these years; you did not face too much risk.] [But you went to the frontline of Heavenly Demon City primarily to hone your swordsmanship.] [Alone with your sword, you crazily killed enemies on the frontline battlefield.] [Thus, twenty years passed...] [In the thirty-third year, countless Foreign Races had died at your hands, including over a hundred of weak divine power Foreign Races and more than a dozen of medium divine power Foreign Races!] [With this unparalleled swordsmanship, you were hailed as the number one person below the Heavenly Immortal Realm in Heavenly Demon City!] [Your accumulated battle merits were substantial, and soon your reputation spread throughout the entire Little Qingyun Realm.] [But this also attracted multiple assassination attempts, not only from Foreign Races but also from the Descending Sect!] [Fortunately, you had prepared in advance and brought your family to Heavenly Demon City.] [In the thirty-fourth year, the frontline support agreement you signed with Heavenly Demon City had long ended, and you planned to leave Heavenly Demon City.] [Although the frontline cultivators were very reluctant to see you go, you knew that Heavenly Demon City was not a place to stay for long. To pursue a better future, you had to head to the Blackwater Realm and Star Realm.] [However, in these twenty years, your growth in swordsmanship was also astounding!] [Although the Sword Dao still stayed at the embryonic stage, you clearly felt your Sword Intent was more abundant, and the Sword Dao you walked had become clearer.] [At the same time, your Grand Witch Body Refining Decision also made further progress, with your physical strength reaching the power of fifty-five mountains and rivers, but the path to perfection of the second level was still a long way ahead.] [This year, you secretly went to the spatial node in the southwest of the Little Qingyun Realm, piloting the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to the Blackwater Realm...] In the real world, Su Xing sighed as he saw this. "What a pity... the Sword Dao did not have an epiphany!" "If the Sword Dao had an epiphany, it might have saved a hundred years of time!" "The progress of the second layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision had also slowed down... Next, I''ll prepare methodically to head to the Star Realm!" Su Xing murmured, his gaze turned to the simulation panel. [After arriving at the Blackwater Realm, you quickly gathered the treasure from the underwater cave.] [Afterward, you lurked near the secret realm of the All-Encompassing Flower, waiting quietly for the secret realm to open.] [In the thirty-fifth year, the secret realm opened. You seized the All-Encompassing Flower and simultaneously killed a cadre of the Descending Sect.] [In the same year, you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to the Star Realm.] [Upon arriving at the Star Realm, you hid within the Spirit Field Cave for half a year to recuperate.] [In the thirty-sixth year, you appeared in the Star Realm, traveling between various tribes, collecting the Star Observation Maps of each tribe.] [Thus, fourteen years passed.] [In the fiftieth year, you collected approximately two hundred Star Observation Methods from various tribes. You compiled them into a book, and the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method was further refined.] [After arriving at the Star Realm, you needn''t worry about the pursuit of the Descending Sect cultivators.] [Because the Star Realm was extremely distant, and the natives of this realm disliked outsiders, making it difficult for the Descending Sect to develop spies here.] [After arriving at the Star Realm, aside from practicing swordsmanship and cultivating the body, you collected the Star Observation Methods of various tribes each day.] [Thus, another twenty-seven years passed.] [In the seventy-seventh year, the number of Star Observation Methods you collected reached six hundred, many of which were duplicates.] [This year, your strength reached the power of sixty mountains and rivers.] [At the same time, your Late Bloomer talent came into play, and you began to take Earth Origin Pills monthly, quickly improving your Body Refinement Cultivation Level.] Seeing this, Su Xing nodded slightly. "Not bad, after seventy-seven years, focus on cultivating the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision. Even if it can''t be perfected, much progress will be made!" His gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the ninety-fifth year, taking Earth Origin Pills, your cultivation progressed rapidly, and this year your strength increased to sixty-five mountains and rivers.] Chapter 300 Consecutive Explosions of Golden Talents, Su Xings First Artifact Refining! [8k]_4 [In the one hundred and tenth year, your physical strength increased to the power of seventy mountains and rivers.][You vaguely perceived that the upper limit of power after reaching the second level of perfection in the Body Refinement Technique should be around the power of one hundred mountains and rivers.] [And you had a rather long way to go before reaching this level.] [In the one hundred and twenty-fifth year, your physical strength increased to the power of seventy-five mountains and rivers.] [In the one hundred and fortieth year, your physical strength increased to the power of eighty mountains and rivers!] [At the same time, the past century of collection also resulted in you acquiring over a thousand additional tribal Star Observation Methods, which you integrated one by one.] Su Xing saw this and his heart stirred as he said, "Use the immersive simulation feature for a duration of two months!" [Ding...] After entering the simulated world, Su Xing took a Spirit Awakening Pill and without hesitation began memorizing these tribal Star Observation Methods. Three days passed like this, and Su Xing memorized them all, gaining many new insights. "Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, I have currently collected about half?" "It''s just a pity that I''m still missing the beginning part, otherwise, I could have started practicing it!" After committing the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method to memory, Su Xing began attempting to learn the Way of Talismans. "This time in the simulation, the talent I drew, Talisman Master, happened to be perfect for delving into the Way of Talismans!" Su Xing then took out numerous materials and began studying high-level talismans above the eighth rank. ... Soon, the immersive simulation ended and Su Xing returned to reality. The satisfaction in his eyes was hard to hide. "In just two months of immersive simulation... not only did I master dozens of ninth-ranked talismans, but I also mastered two tenth-ranked ones!" "Now, I can truly be called a Grandmaster of Talisman Crafting!" Su Xing was very satisfied. The two tenth-ranked talismans he had mastered this time were the Golden Light Talisman and the Golden Shield Talisman, one for attack and one for defense, both capable of threatening cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing Stage! Taking the Spirit Awakening Pill, two months of immersive simulation was equivalent to ten years of hard cultivation. This meant that Su Xing had grown from an eighth-rank Talisman Master to a tenth-rank Grandmaster in just ten years! Besides the boost from the golden talent, Su Xing''s cultivation realm growth and powerful Divine Sense also made learning the Way of Talismans easier. "Whew... tenth-ranked talismans are enough for now!" "But I still need to get my hands on the Minor Heavenly Cycle Visualization Method!" "It''s just a pity that in this simulation, I couldn''t break through to the second level of perfection in the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, feeling trapped in a dead end within the Star Realm during the simulation. Thinking this, Su Xing turned his attention to the simulation panel. [After advancing in the Way of Talismans, you continued your rigorous cultivation for two more months.] [One day, your talent for avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune gave you a premonition of danger...] [The next day, Qing Yunzi came...] [You died...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing shook his head slightly. "The simulation duration... it hasn''t increased for some time..." Su Xing felt a bit helpless; with the simulation only lasting a hundred and forty years at a time, it was hard to say whether he could ascend to the True Immortal Realm within a year. However, Su Xing also knew that the Star Realm was just a temporary experience farming instance. In the Star Realm, his aims were twofold: to gather more Star Observation Methods and to cultivate the second level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision. "Whew... although it wasn''t perfected, let''s see the rewards for this simulation!" Su Xing murmured, turning his attention to the simulation panel. [Talisman Master] Golden talent, priced at 10 points of Origin Energy Source. [Second Level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision (Great Achievement)]: The inheritance method left behind by the Ancient Witch Clan, suitable for Immortals to refine their bodies, the second level increases Origin Force; cultivated to a profound realm, one can fight against eminent cultivators, currently equivalent to the late Earth Immortal Realm (eighty mountains and rivers of power), priced at 30,000 points of Origin Energy Source! [Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method (Incomplete)]: The divination technique inherited from the Star Witch of the Ancient Witch Clan, cultivated to a profound realm, one can glimpse the Way of Cause and Effect of destiny; it''s an unparalleled secret technique, unfortunately missing the opening section, making it difficult to practice, priced at 50,000 points of Origin Energy Source. Without hesitation, Su Xing silently recited: "I choose to take out the second level cultivation of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and the Talisman Master talent!" [You successfully took out the second level (Great Achievement) of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, costing 30,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source is 59,311 points...] [You successfully took out the Talisman Master talent, costing 10 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source is 59,301 points...] As the simulation prompts fell, two streams of energy surged into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing''s physical body, in a mere moment, enhanced to the power of eighty mountains and rivers, an increase of sixty percent! "Whew... though I didn''t reach perfection, this progress is still quite impressive!" Su Xing nodded slightly. Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Glancing at the time, Su Xing proceeded to trade with Lu Yuanwu as scheduled. After gaining 20,000 points of Origin Energy Source, Su Xing began another week of puppet repairs. Three more Divinity Transformation Stage puppets were repaired by Su Xing, who also crafted two ninth-rank talismans in the process; these two talismans were prepared for the Demon Saint at Demon-Subduing Pass in the future. On October 21, Su Xing went to the Immortal Martial Era instance to harvest alien metal ores. Then, he rushed to the villa area to meet Jin Congxue. The two chatted and enjoyed some food together. Jin Congxue rubbed her somewhat sore shoulders, saying: "Whew... this period really wore me out, I feel like I''ve aged several years!" Listening to Jin Congxue''s complaints, Su Xing looked at her flawless skin and kept his silence with a smile. After some hesitation, Su Xing said: "Sister Xue... if I give you an opportunity to not only become a profession user but also gain new powers, would you take it?" Jin Congxue froze for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in confusion: Chapter 300 Consecutive Explosions of Golden Talents, Su Xings First Artifact Refining! [8k]_5 "What kind of power?"Su Xing described it a bit and said, "Like the ones in ancient novels, the Immortals... you know?" "It''s that kind of... power that rivals Gods!" "Although the initial training is slow, the future potential is enormous. Are you willing to accept it?" Jin Congxue''s eyes lit up after hearing this and said, "Like the power you have? After joining the organization... your strength seems to have increased a lot! I can''t even see through you anymore..." Jin Congxue wrinkled her cute little nose. Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this. He still hesitated whether to bestow the Spiritual Root to Jin Congxue. The problem was, the only Spiritual Root Su Xing had left was a Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root, which was of average quality. Su Xing decided to wait. If he could draw a Golden Quality Spiritual Root, he could then give Jin Congxue the Heavenly Spirit Root. So Su Xing said, "Sister Xue, don''t rush... I''m just giving you a heads-up! Perform well, and the organization will grant you power!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue instead showed a strange look. The organization grants power... why does that sound so much like what a villain would say? Jin Congxue giggled. The two chatted for a while, then Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave. ... The simulation time had cooled down, and Su Xing prepared to start a new week of simulation! [The 109th simulation begins, the remaining Origin Energy Source is 110,309 points... No simulation attempts left.] [The simulation begins!] [Drawing a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, would you like to draw?] "Yes!" Su Xing did not hesitate. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent Artifact Refining Sacred Body, the probability of drawing a Golden Talent next time is 60%...] Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Artifact Refining Sacred Body]: Golden Talent, one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, your physique is naturally suited for artifact refining, and your comprehension in artifact refining is astonishing. You can easily become a Grandmaster in artifact refining! "Damn, two golden draws in a row!" "Finally got the artifact refining talent!" Su Xing''s heart pounded, feeling that his luck had turned around. After three consecutive draws, Su Xing finally got the golden artifact refining talent he wanted. Su Xing originally planned to settle for using the purple artifact refining talent if he couldn''t draw the golden one... "Boohoo, turns out the system daddy still loves me!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction; the goal for this simulation was now extremely clear! To cultivate the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision to the level of Perfection! At the same time, he needed to carry the artifact refining talent forward and improve his skills in artifact refining as much as possible! With this in mind, Su Xing turned his attention to the Simulation Panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were in a simulation.] [Ten days later, you visited the Luo Tian Instance and memorized many things from the Luo Tian Artifact Refining Codex.] [For the next year, you refined the Earth Origin Pill, using it for artifact refining.] [In the second year, you visited the Beast Taming Realm, killing the foreign races there.] [In the third year, you killed the Damned Dragon and the high-ranking officials of the Descending Sect.] [In the same year, you looted the treasure vaults of the Descending Sect and the Blood Demon Realm.] [In the fourth year, you took your family and friends, as well as some humans from the Great Xia Country, and escaped to the Three Thousand Worlds.] [In the fifth year, after settling your family and friends, you went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to sell intelligence.] [You reaped a considerable amount of Spirit Stones, spending most of them on materials for artifact refining.] [You then piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to the Blackwater Realm.] [After retrieving a secret treasure from an underwater cave, you established a cave near the All-Encompassing Flower Secret Realm.] In the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath and silently said, "Use immersive simulation for 30 years!" [Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation...] As the simulation prompt ended, Su Xing appeared in the Blackwater Realm. Just entering the cave in the Blackwater Realm, Su Xing sensed the rich water element in the air. After setting up the protective formation in the Blackwater Realm cave, Su Xing headed to the Spirit Field Cave. "An immersive simulation of thirty years... costing over ten thousand points of Origin Energy Source... can''t waste this!" Su Xing took out a few storage rings to examine them. These storage rings contained a large number of artifacts refining materials, ranging from first-tier ordinary materials to eleventh-tier Immortal Treasure prototypes, everything one could wish for. Su Xing''s goal for this immersive simulation was to enhance his artifact refining skills as much as possible! "Thirty years of immersive simulation... should be enough to become a Grandmaster in artifact refining, right?" Su Xing took a deep breath and didn''t rush into artifact refining, but instead performed a memory-blocking secret technique he learned from the Luo Tian Sect. By performing this secret technique in advance, Su Xing could focus solely on artifact refining and almost feel no passage of time. In this way, after thirty years, when Su Xing returned to the real world, he wouldn''t have that feeling of time leaps. Everything was ready, and Su Xing officially began his first artifact refining! (P.S. I will try to skip cumbersome plots and speed up the pace to make the story more interesting...) Chapter 302 Repairing the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, the Dawn of Escape? 【8k】 [In the eleventh year, you took out the materials you had been preparing for years in the Spirit Field Cave and officially started crafting celestial treasures.] [You adopted the strategy of progressing from the simple to the complex.] [You began with the smallest celestial treasures, crafting from daggers and hidden weapons to swords and spears...] [In just six months, you crafted five celestial treasures of the half-step Immortal Artifact level.] [Thus, nine years passed once more.] [In the twentieth year, after a hundred attempts over the nine years, you finally crafted your first lower-grade Immortal Artifact.] [At this moment, you officially entered the ranks of the artifact crafting grandmasters!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "Being an artifact crafting grandmaster is an achievement that ordinary artifact crafting cultivators might not reach even after hundreds of years of effort... This talent bonus is quite fierce!" "As for the limited materials at hand... perhaps selling the completed celestial treasures could gain some spirit stones, which could then be used to procure enough materials in the Star Realm!" Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued to consider: "And Star Stones... I''ll try to acquire some as well, to break through to the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision as soon as possible!" His gaze turned to the simulation panel.

[In the twenty-first year, you sold the half-step celestial treasures you had crafted over the last ten years and purchased a lot of materials needed for artifact crafting from various tribes.] [You procured dozens of Star Stones and began using them not only for artifact crafting, but also to communicate with the stars in the sky and further refine your body.] [Thus, another ten years passed.] [In the thirtieth year, your progress in the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision was impressive, and you felt increasingly connected with the stars in the sky.] [Your physical strength further increased, reaching the power of one hundred forty mountains and rivers.] [In the same year, your artifact crafting skills improved further. Your success rate in crafting lower-grade Immortal Artifacts surpassed ninety percent, and you began attempting to craft mid-grade Immortal Artifacts.] [Thus, another twenty years passed.] [In the fiftieth year, your physical strength increased to the power of one hundred fifty mountains and rivers.] [Your physical body and bloodline underwent initial changes, and you learned the divine skill Heavenly Manifestation from the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!] [By casting Heavenly Manifestation, your physical body could instantly increase tenfold in size, transforming into a giant several zhang tall!] [Even more delightfully, after casting Heavenly Manifestation, your strength would further increase, reaching the power of three hundred mountains and rivers, doubling your physical power!] [That year, the commotion caused by the loss of the Stellar Observing Method in various tribes subsided. You continued stealing different star observation methods from the tribes...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and felt a surge of joy in his heart. "The third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision is coming closer to full mastery!" "Heavenly Manifestation... Is this a bloodline divine skill hidden within the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, similar to the Myriad Phenomena Star Guidance?" By casting Heavenly Manifestation, the increase in body size and strength was inevitable. Su Xing had heard that in ancient times, the Heavenly Manifestation of the Witch Clan was as large as planets! Only with such a massive body could one support the entire world; otherwise, how could a mere seven-foot-tall body accomplish that? "It''s like the giant spirits in mythological legends... They also needed to cast Heavenly Manifestation to exhibit their full strength..." Su Xing pondered deeply. [In the sixtieth year, after over thirty years of artifact crafting, you finally crafted your first mid-grade Immortal Artifact.] [Mid-grade Immortal Artifacts were worth a fortune and were beyond the reach of cultivators below the Earth Immortal Realm.] [You roamed between various tribes, stealing star observation methods and selling lower-grade and mid-grade Immortal Artifacts. Not only did you avoid losses, but you also made a fortune.] [Furthermore, the sale of celestial treasures over the past few decades gradually increased your reputation in the Star Realm.] [Many cultivators from various tribes requested your services to craft celestial treasures. They not only provided their own materials but also offered you a significant crafting fee.] [Of course, these tribal cultivators never imagined that the renowned artifact crafting grandmaster was the same person as the thief stealing their Stellar Observing Methods.] [Thus, for the next twenty years, you received numerous artifact crafting requests from cultivators.] [But you only accepted orders for mid-grade or higher magical treasures, which not only improved your artifact crafting skills but also earned you extra commissions.] [Every once in a while, you would secretly visit various tribes to steal star observation methods to further restore the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method...] [Thus, twenty years passed...] [In the eightieth year, your talent as a late bloomer took effect, and that year, you began attempting to craft high-grade Immortal Artifacts.] [High-grade Immortal Artifacts contained much more spirituality than mid-grade ones and were the common magical treasures of Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators.] [Even with your artifact crafting skills, successfully crafting one was not easy.] [You made several attempts over the years.] [In the eighty-fifth year, you finally crafted your first high-grade Immortal Artifact, a long spear!] [Although you were not proficient in using spear-type weapons, you could clearly sense the extraordinary nature of this spear. The spirituality contained within it was almost enough to birth the weakest form of an artifact spirit.] [You were very satisfied with it, so you announced that you could craft high-grade Immortal Artifacts!] [As soon as this news spread, dozens of Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators in the Star Realm rushed to you, asking you to craft celestial treasures for them.] [You accepted every request, collecting materials and a significant down payment, agreeing on delivery times.] [Crafting high-grade Immortal Artifacts was extremely exhausting.] [Even for you, crafting a single high-grade Immortal Artifact required three to five months.] [The materials provided by these cultivators were enough to keep you busy crafting for twenty to thirty years...] Chapter 302 Repairing the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Dawn of Escape?【8k】_2 [While refining artifacts, you also practiced the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision. Your physical strength further increased...] [Thus, another five years passed.] [In the ninetieth year, your physical strength grew to the power of one hundred seventy rivers and mountains.] [You were already able to initially mobilize the power of the stars, further enhancing your physical body and strength.] [Throughout these years, you refined over a dozen top-grade immortal treasures, with your success rate rising from fifty percent to eighty percent.] [Cultivators in the Star Realm expressed their admiration for your exquisite craftsmanship...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and showed a joyful expression. "Top-grade immortal treasures... an eighty percent success rate. This was already something most artifact refining grandmasters could hardly achieve!" After all, not every artifact refining grandmaster had as much time and materials for refining as Su Xing did. Many artifact refining grandmasters held their status in high regard and were unwilling to casually refine artifacts, which made it difficult for their skills to improve further. But Su Xing was different. His goal was to refine more artifacts and enhance his refining skills. As for making money, that was just a side effect... "Speaking of which, the artifact refining methods of the Luo Tian Sect are truly profound!" "These artifact refining methods can allow me to cultivate to the extreme limit of a great grandmaster in artifact refining... perhaps, I could even create acquired treasures with my own hands!" Su Xing''s eyes were full of excitement. Acquired treasures were the limit that a great grandmaster in artifact refining could create. As for treasures above acquired treasures, innate treasures were birthed by the heavens and the earth, beyond human capability to create. "A little more effort, if I can refine supreme-grade immortal treasures, I could attempt to repair the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat!" Su Xing waved his fist, his gaze turning to the simulation panel. [In the daily refining and cultivation, another ten years passed in the blink of an eye...] [In the hundredth year, during this period, you refined another ten to twenty top-grade immortal treasures, maintaining a success rate of around seventy to eighty percent.] Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You felt as though you had temporarily hit a bottleneck, making it hard to further improve your refining skills.] [So you slowed down your refining pace and focused more on practicing the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision.] [In the hundred and tenth year, your physical strength grew to the power of one hundred eighty rivers and mountains, not far from fully mastering the third level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision...] [In these ten years, you refined over a dozen top-grade immortal treasures, yet your skill didn''t advance.] [So you chose to take the Enlightenment Pill to further your understanding of the path of artifact refining...] [After taking the Enlightenment Pill, under the influence of the state of Great Wisdom, those difficult artifact refining problems of the past became clear.] [In just a month, your understanding of the future direction of artifact refining became clearer.] [Your long-stalled artifact refining skills finally made a breakthrough this year...] [With newfound inspiration for refining, you spent the next ten years honing your artifact refining skills day and night.] [Thus, another ten years passed...] [In the hundred and twentieth year, your success rate for refining top-grade immortal treasures reached over ninety percent.] [This year, you began attempting to refine supreme-grade immortal treasures...] [In the same year, one day while you were cultivating, you felt the stars in the sky were very close to you, as if they could continuously provide you with strength...] [That year, you finally made a breakthrough to the third level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!] [Your pure physical strength grew to the power of three hundred rivers and mountains!] In the real world, Su Xing was ecstatic when he saw this. "Finally, the third level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, pure physical strength of three hundred rivers and mountains? At this moment, I can battle a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator with just my body refining cultivation!" Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing''s heart pounded rapidly. Currently, his body refining cultivation finally exceeded his qi refining cultivation by an entire major realm, becoming his primary means of combat! "However... relying solely on pure physical strength to defeat a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator is clearly unrealistic..." "The third level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, besides enhancing the physical body, also provides other benefits that need to be experienced!" Su Xing''s mind stirred as he looked at the simulation panel. [In the hundred and thirtieth year, you made several attempts to refine supreme-grade immortal treasures, but you were still slightly lacking. Although the treasures you refined surpassed ordinary top-grade immortal treasures, there seemed to be a gap before reaching supreme-grade immortal treasures.] [But you knew that you couldn''t delay any longer.] [So you began to repair the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat...] [Thus, another five years passed.] [In the hundred and thirty-fifth year, after five years of continuous repair, you finally repaired most of the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat. Although it wasn''t fully restored to its peak, it could continue navigating the void.] [That year, you accelerated the collection of the Star Observation Method from the tribe...] [Thus, another three years passed.] [In the hundred and thirty-eighth year, you nearly completed the Minor Zhou Tian Star Observing Technique but were still missing a small part.] [However, you decided not to wait any longer.] [That year, you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, preparing to leave the Star Realm.] [You chose to head to another Middle Thousand World called the Cangwu Realm, located five void nodes away from the Star Realm.] [This world was rich in wood-attribute spiritual energy, containing numerous heaven and earth treasures.] [After three months of void navigation, you finally arrived at the Cangwu Realm...] In the real world, Su Xing was overjoyed when he saw this. "Finally... I now have the ability to repair the immortal boat!" "As long as I can repair the immortal boat, doesn''t that mean I can continuously travel through various Minor Thousand Worlds? If I run fast enough, perhaps Qing Yunzi won''t be able to find me!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s mind recalled the information and intelligence about the Cangwu Realm. Chapter 302 Repairing the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Dawn of Escape? [8K]_3 Cangwu Realm, one of the Middle Thousand Worlds within the Three Thousand Worlds system, boasted formidable strength overall. In this world, cultivators of the Profound Immortal Realm had once emerged... Due to its geographic location, this realm was at a distance from the frontline and had yet to suffer from alien invasion. Trade was extremely prosperous here, with major powers like the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Heavenly Demon Prison, Qingyun Sect, and White Emperor Tower having established their presence. Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Moreover, one of the apex forces in the Three Thousand Worlds, the Money Guild, also resided here! It was rumored that the president of the Money Guild was a Daluo Golden Immortal! The doctrine of the Guild was such that, given sufficient spirit stones, no task was beyond completion! The saying "money talks" fit this organization to a tee... "The Money Guild differs from other top forces... Although it remains neutral, it only sets up branches in some minor and middle thousand worlds..." "Perhaps I can seek refuge through the Money Guild?" Su Xing''s eyes brightened, as if seizing a lifeline. "Let''s head to Cangwu Realm first!" Su Xing thought thus, eyes fixed on the simulation panel. [In the hundredth and thirty-ninth year, you arrived at Cangwu Realm, witnessing this bustling middle thousand world.] [Cangwu Realm spanned extensive territory, dozens of times larger than Little Qingyun Realm.] [It was said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, over seventy percent of this realm was ocean, later filled by powerful immortals using supreme power, altering the landscape to allow more cultivators to survive.] [Upon your arrival in Cangwu Realm, you disguised and concealed your identity.] [Subsequently, you flew to a city where cultivators gathered via sword flight.] [The cultivators'' cultivation levels in this city generally surpassed those in Little Qingyun Realm.] [Sometimes you even saw Human Immortal cultivators mingling within city markets.] [Much like in Little Qingyun Realm, this city also had a branch of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.] [For the next six years, you practiced the path of artifact refining while investigating intelligence on Cangwu Realm, focusing particularly on the Money Guild.] [You compiled these pieces of intelligence into a book, recording them meticulously...] "Finally, breaking the one hundred forty years simulation limit, and at the one hundred forty-fifth year, Qing Yunzi still hasn''t detected my whereabouts?" Su Xing felt a surge of joy, silently musing, "Use immersive simulation for a duration of one month..." [Ding...] The next second, Su Xing appeared in the simulated world, holding the compiled intelligence about Cangwu Realm. Su Xing read through this information one by one... Recalling the intelligence on Cangwu Realm, Su Xing frowned slightly. "There seems to be traces of the Descendants'' Cult in Cangwu Realm as well?" Su Xing immediately felt a tinge of uneasiness. The Descendants'' Cult appeared in a world for one of two reasons. First, the world was experiencing an alien invasion, with the Descendants'' Cult assisting from within to accelerate the invasion. Second, aliens were preparing to invade, with the Descendants'' Cult laying the groundwork and gathering intelligence. Clearly, Cangwu Realm''s situation fell into the latter category... "Tsk tsk, it seems the frontline intelligence is quite dire! Has Little Qingyun Realm already been destroyed?" "I should investigate the intelligence on Little Qingyun Realm..." Su Xing decided to purchase intelligence on Little Qingyun Realm at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. "However, the Money Guild is indeed reliable!" Su Xing''s lips curled into a slight smile. The Money Guild, where money paved the way and anything could be accomplished, was not an exaggeration! Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire According to the intelligence Su Xing had obtained, the Money Guild had a completion rate of ninety-nine percent for the tasks they accepted! The remaining one percent were not completed because the clients didn''t pay enough! From purchasing heaven and earth treasures, crafting weapons, seeking protection... to hunting down enemies... It could be said that as long as one was willing to spend, the Money Guild would take on any task! "I just wonder how long this simulation can continue... Perhaps it''s time to contact the Money Guild!" Su Xing thought thus, then flew westward via sword flight, heading to the largest city in Cangwu Realm. Cangwu City! In Cangwu City, all major top forces had established branches, and Su Xing even occasionally sensed auras not weaker than his own. Su Xing wandered around Cangwu City for a long while, eventually stopping in front of a shop. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Intelligence Store! Before seeking shelter with the Money Guild, Su Xing planned to purchase intelligence at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion first. Entering the familiar shop, Su Xing noticed formation fluctuations nearby, raising an eyebrow and muttering: "This formation''s aura seems more refined than the branch in Little Qingyun Realm?" As soon as Su Xing stepped into the shop, he heard a girl''s voice. "Friend, are you buying or selling intelligence?" Su Xing looked up to see a lazy girl lying on a table, resembling the attendant at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Intelligence Store. Yet her appearance and figure were quite different. Su Xing paused for a moment, then said: "I''m here to buy intelligence... I need information on Little Qingyun Realm!" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, the girl raised an eyebrow and said: "Recent intelligence on Little Qingyun Realm is categorized under Grade B. It costs five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones... or equivalent intelligence for exchange?" Hearing this, Su Xing directly took out a bag of spirit stones and tossed it over. A mere five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones were nothing to the current Su Xing. The girl took the storage ring and casually handed over a jade slip. Su Xing''s divine sense delved into the jade slip, information flooding out... Ten years ago, the Red-eyed Foreign Race launched a massive invasion on Little Qingyun Realm. The Heavenly Demon City frontline fell, with millions of cultivators perishing, but they held out for a hundred days. Until a Black Armor Arrival charged out, an incarnation of the Heavenly Demon General, with a single axe, seriously wounding the Red Moon. Chapter 302 Repairing the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Dawn of Escape? [8K]_4 After this battle, the Black Armor General would no longer appear... Three years ago, during the second large-scale invasion of the Red-eyed Foreign Race, Heavenly Demon City was unable to resist, abandoning over a hundred cities. The northwest domain of Little Qingyun Realm fell, yet the Heavenly Demon General''s incarnation did not appear. Currently, the three major forces, White Emperor City, Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and Qingyun Sect have completely withdrawn from Little Qingyun Realm, leaving only the local cultivators to struggle to hold on... Based on the estimation of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, within twenty years at most, or as little as five to ten years, Little Qingyun Realm would be completely overrun... ... Messages flashed through Su Xing''s mind. Su Xing frowned slightly, his expression grave. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "At this rate, it means that Little Qingyun Realm will completely perish in about 150 to 160 years?" Su Xing closed his eyes, and a map of the Three Thousand Worlds emerged in his mind. Little Qingyun Realm was an extremely crucial location in the Three Thousand Worlds. It neighbored Qingyun Realm, Blackwater Realm, and other Minor Thousand Worlds. Once Little Qingyun Realm was breached, the Foreign Race would be able to bypass Qingyun Realm, accelerating their invasion and devouring the interior of the Three Thousand Worlds! By then, hundreds of Minor Thousand Worlds and dozens of Middle Thousand Worlds would be wide open, becoming easy prey for the Foreign Race! "The Three Thousand Worlds... are in grave danger!" Su Xing silently thought to himself, feeling a bit dazed. He didn''t understand why those major forces didn''t intervene in this matter. After all, with the destruction of other Minor Thousand Worlds, wouldn''t they face the same fate... Could it be that they were truly confident in safeguarding themselves amidst the Foreign Race''s invasion, remaining uninvolved? Seeing Su Xing''s solemn expression, the young girl in front of him chuckled softly and said: "Fellow Daoist, you seem very concerned about Little Qingyun Realm?" Su Xing was momentarily stunned but then casually replied: "When it comes to the invasion of the Foreign Race, as a cultivator of our realm, we naturally need to pay close attention. It''s best if we can contribute our modest strength..." Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, the girl showed an intrigued expression and asked: "Fellow Daoist''s aura feels somewhat familiar. Could it be that you''ve been to Little Qingyun Realm over a hundred years ago?" Su Xing''s heart tightened upon hearing this. In the simulation, he had indeed been to Little Qingyun Realm to sell intelligence. But Su Xing wouldn''t admit it, simply shaking his head and saying: "I just exited seclusion after a hundred years, yet I didn''t expect such events to occur... It''s truly lamentable!" With that, Su Xing shook his head and walked out of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion''s intelligence department. Behind him, the girl tilted her head slightly, and countless shadows flashed rapidly behind her. Moments later, the girl opened her eyes and murmured: "It''s actually him... He seems to be a cultivator from a minor realm... the one Qing Yunzi and the Descending Sect have been searching for? "Strange... What is someone at the Earth Immortal Realm doing in the Cangwu Realm?" ... Su Xing had no idea that his information and identity had already been exposed. He simply quickened his pace, heading towards the Money Guild. A while later, Su Xing arrived in front of an opulent palace. In this city where every inch of land was precious, the palace stood a hundred feet high and covered an area of over a hundred acres! At first glance, it did not look like a guild but rather like a palace. Standing before the Money Guild, Su Xing muttered: "This Money Guild is truly wealthy!" Upon entering the guild, reception staff quickly arrived and inquired about Su Xing''s purpose. "Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?" Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire As soon as Su Xing had a thought, he revealed his Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level and then said: "I have a significant business deal and hope to discuss it with the senior management of the Money Guild!" The two attendants were also Mahayana Realm cultivators. They immediately sensed the terrifying aura from Su Xing. Exchanging glances, they said: "This way, Immortal, to a private room!" Following the two attendants, Su Xing entered a secluded private room, which was equipped with a protective formation. The table was laden with spirit fruits and delicacies for Su Xing to enjoy. Before long, two attractive female cultivators brought tea. Su Xing declined to eat. He simply waited quietly in the room. About a quarter of an hour later, a woman in a purple dress with a seductive appearance approached the private room. After examining Su Xing, she saluted and asked: "Fellow Daoist, I am Zier, the vice president of the Money Guild in Cangwu City. What can I do for you?" This female cultivator had an alluring figure, her natural charm radiating, but even Su Xing found it hard to discern her cultivation level. Su Xing dared not be careless, returning the salute and asking: "Fellow Daoist, is it convenient to talk here?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s question, Zier covered her mouth and laughed lightly: "Fellow Daoist jests. In the entire Three Thousand Worlds, let alone Cangwu Realm, few forces would dare to target our Money Guild..." Zier spoke with a flash of pride in her eyes. Su Xing nodded slightly and probed: "I heard that as long as money is sufficient, the Money Guild undertakes any job... Is that true, even including assassinating cultivators?" Zier nodded affirmatively and said: "As long as the spirit stones are enough, who can''t be killed?" Relieved, Su Xing then made a startling statement: "Ahem, what if the target is a Semi-Saint?" "Uh... That Semi-Saint''s current state is abnormal. Their strength should only be slightly stronger than a typical Daluo Golden Immortal by thirty percent..." Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Zier froze, her smile turned stiff: "Hehe, Fellow Daoist... You must be joking? "You want to assassinate a Semi-Saint? Are you kidding me!" "In this era where Saints do not appear... Who can kill a Semi-Saint? "Fellow Daoist, stop joking... Make a more realistic request!" Zier''s expression became somewhat peculiar. Upon hearing this, Su Xing showed a look of disappointment and murmured: Chapter 302 Repairing the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Dawn of Escape? [8K]_5 "Sigh, so it really can''t be killed..." Su Xing then changed his request and said, "If it''s to protect someone from a Semi-Saint, can your Money Guild do it?" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Zier dropped her pretense and her eyes turned cold. She said, "Are you here to cause trouble for our Money Guild?" "If that''s the case, then don''t expect to stay here for long..." "Someone, escort the guest out!" As soon as she finished speaking, there was movement outside, and the door automatically opened, seemingly to drive Su Xing away. Seeing this, Su Xing remained calm. He walked to the door, gently closed it, and said, "Ahem, since those two requests can''t be met, I''ll make a slightly simpler one!" "Would it be possible for you to send me to the Heavenly Demon Realm or to the Heavenly Secrets Realm where the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is located?" As he spoke, Su Xing took out a storage ring and handed it over, containing a million high-grade Spirit Stones to show his sincerity. Zier glanced at the storage ring, paused for a moment, and said, "An escort mission? That can be arranged..." "After all, you weren''t joking with our Money Guild..." After confirming the storage ring indeed held a million high-grade Spirit Stones, Zier''s expression softened a bit, and she said, "Ahem, however!" "The Heavenly Demon Prison and the Heavenly Secrets Realm are extremely far from the Cangwu Realm. The journey requires passing through over a thousand Void Nodes, and the time required for Void navigation would likely be over a hundred years..." "And such a long-distance Void navigation would require several Golden Immortal-level experts to oversee it. With your financial resources, I''m afraid you wouldn''t be able to hire them, right?" She paused before continuing, "However, our Money Guild does have regular long-distance Void escort missions every hundred years..." "The next one is in fifty years, and the destination is the Tianyuan Realm, which is a hundred Void Nodes away. Would you be willing to go there?" "After arriving at the Tianyuan Realm, there is a branch of our Money Guild. Perhaps there will be opportunities to proceed to the Heavenly Demon Prison and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion..." Su Xing fell into deep thought upon hearing Zier''s words. He was not unaware of the difficulties of Void navigation. With Su Xing''s strength, even with the aid of a half-step Acquired Treasure, he could barely travel to a destination ten Void Nodes away at most. Void traversal requires not just a high mana cultivation level and sturdy vehicles, but also a deep understanding of the Dao of Space. Otherwise, the chances of getting lost in the Void are extremely high... And dying in spatial turbulence... Even if all conditions were met, long-distance Void navigation would still be extremely dangerous! Let alone Earth Immortals or True Immortals. Even Profound Immortals and Golden Immortals face certain risks... Perhaps only by becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal could one roam the Three Thousand Worlds unimpeded, ignoring the dangers of the Void... Su Xing didn''t expect to be able to go directly to the Heavenly Demon Realm or the Heavenly Secrets Realm. It would already be quite good to first get to the Tianyuan Realm a hundred Void Nodes away. "Fifty years later... is that the time?" Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly. Although he felt it was a bit late, he still nodded and said, "Alright, I''ll head to the Tianyuan Realm first then!" Zier sighed in relief upon hearing this and, seeing that she had dealt with this "difficult" customer, quoted her price. "Such long-distance Void navigation to a hundred Void Nodes away... the journey time is about ten years, and the fee you need to pay is ten million high-grade Spirit Stones!" While speaking, Zier shook the storage ring in her hand and said, Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "As for this million high-grade Spirit Stones, it can serve as a deposit... If you are willing, come find me here fifty years later, and I can arrange for you to go to the Tianyuan Realm!" Su Xing clicked his tongue upon hearing the price of ten million high-grade Spirit Stones. Ten million high-grade Spirit Stones were not cheap! A typical Earth Immortal cultivator''s entire fortune amounted to just a few million high-grade Spirit Stones. Only a Heavenly Immortal cultivator could come up with ten million high-grade Spirit Stones... This indicated that only Heavenly Immortal cultivators had the initial qualifications for mid-to-long-distance Void navigation. After a brief consideration, Su Xing nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you, Daoist friend..." After saying this, Su Xing left the room, wandered around the Money Guild for a bit, saw many exotic treasures and herbs, and gained a lot of knowledge... Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. "Sigh, fifty years later, which in the simulation is approximately two hundred years, can I board the Immortal Boat?" Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire "I hope to hold on until then..." Thinking this way, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [After leaving the Money Guild, you gained a lot of knowledge.] [Next, you stayed in the Cangwu Realm, focused on artifact refining daily. To prevent accidents, you began attempting to repair the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat...] Chapter 303 Explosion in Strength, Physical Body Heavenly Immortal Realm! [8k] [Thus, five more years passed...] [In the one hundred and fiftieth year, you thoroughly repaired the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat...] [With years of artifact refining, your artifact refining skills had improved, and you were now capable of attempting to refine top-grade Immortal Treasures...] [However, the materials needed for top-grade Immortal Treasures were exceedingly rare!] [To refine a top-grade Immortal Treasure, the material costs were nearly a billion high-grade Spirit Stones, over ten times the cost of refining a high-grade Immortal Treasure...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, saying: "Nearly a billion high-grade Spirit Stones... that''s tens of millions of top-grade Spirit Stones!" "Only a True Immortal could possess such wealth, right?" Top-grade Immortal Treasures were originally meant for True Immortals, to be able to unleash their maximum power. It was no exaggeration to say that a handy magical treasure could increase a cultivator''s combat power by more than thirty percent. Therefore, many True Immortals spent thousands to tens of thousands of years accumulating wealth to craft a top-grade Immortal Treasure. "Tsk, tsk, being able to refine a top-grade Immortal Treasure would indeed qualify one as a Great Grandmaster of artifact refining... but I''m still some distance away..." Su Xing shook his head slightly and looked at the simulation panel. Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the next ten years, you refined artifacts day and night, sometimes visiting the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to gather intelligence on the Three Thousand Worlds.] [In the one hundred and sixtieth year, you received a shocking piece of intelligence after visiting the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [All contact with the Little Qingyun Realm was lost; it was completely invaded by the Foreign Race!] [Upon learning this, you fell silent for a long time but could only accept this fact.] Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire [The Foreign Race was powerful. How could a mere Minor Thousand Worlds realm resist, even if they had been holding out?] [During these years in the Cangwu Realm, you also discovered traces of the Descending Sect.] [By chance, an evil cultivator attempted to assassinate you, wanting you to refine artifacts for him.] [This evil cultivator had a peak Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level. After several entanglements, you killed him...] [After killing this evil cultivator, you obtained a token from him, inscribed with the code "Blood Forty-three"...] [You were shocked, realizing that the Cangwu Realm too had become a future target for the Foreign Race''s conquest...] [However, you estimated that with the Cangwu Realm''s strength, holding out for another hundred years shouldn''t be a problem...] [One day, your Talent for foreseeing good and evil sent a warning.] [After a divination, you learned that a death calamity was imminent...] [You decided to pilot the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and prepare to escape from the Cangwu Realm.] [You had just passed the Void Node when you encountered an unexpected enemy!] [A high-ranking official of the Descending Sect, Blood Three!] [Somehow, Blood Three had tracked your whereabouts and pursued you...] [His physical and mana strength was so formidable that he could traverse the void...] [Your flying boat was destroyed by him, and you were captured alive by Blood Three...] [You lost consciousness.] [When you woke up again, you found yourself within a gigantic formation, beneath a pair of blood-red eyes.] [Murmurs filled your ears...] [Your consciousness slowly disintegrated...] [You died!] [Ding, the simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned slightly. "The Descending Sect truly is like a centipede that dies but won''t fall!" "To think there are also traces of the Descending Sect in the Cangwu Realm!" Undoubtedly, this was bad news for Su Xing. In this simulation, he didn''t die at Qing Yunzi''s hands; instead, he was killed by Blood Three. It was just that Blood Three''s strength was somewhat beyond Su Xing''s expectations. "Being able to traverse the void with sheer physical and mana strength... Perhaps even among Golden Immortal Realm experts, he has few rivals?" Su Xing sighed and continued: "And the Little Qingyun Realm, which was annihilated around the one hundred and sixtieth year... perhaps if I intervened, I could delay its destruction?" Su Xing estimated that with his current strength, he could postpone Blue Star''s destruction by several decades. By then, the Red-eyed Foreign Race''s invasion would be delayed, and the Little Qingyun Realm might be able to hold out for several more decades as well. "The good news is, Qing Yunzi hasn''t found my whereabouts yet... This means that as long as I avoid the Descending Sect''s search, I can simulate for a longer period..." Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the rewards from this simulation. [Thunder Body] Purple Talent, priced at 1 Origin Energy Source. [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Third Layer (Beginner)]: A legacy method left by the Ancient Witch Clan. The third layer harnesses the power of the stars for body refining, forming the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect and containing the Divine Skill "Ten Thousand Star Attraction." Beginner level third layer is equivalent to early Heavenly Immortal Realm combat power, priced at 100,000 Origin Energy Source. [Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method (Incomplete)]: A divination technique from the Star Witches of the Ancient Witch Clan. When perfected, it can perceive the Way of Cause and Effect, being an ultimate secret technique. Usable for cultivation, priced at 90,000 Origin Energy Source. [10 Star Stones each of lower, middle, and high grades]: Formed from the fallen power of the stars. These are also essential cultivation resources for Star Witches. Priced at 16,650 Origin Energy Source. [Artifact Refining Insight]: Insight into the Path of Artifact Refining, enabling the refinement of high-grade Immortal Treasures at most. Upon exchange, it elevates you to the peak of a Grandmaster of artifact refining, just one step away from becoming a Great Grandmaster. Priced at 50,000 Origin Energy Source. Looking at the simulation rewards before him, Su Xing did not hesitate and decisively said: "I choose Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Third Layer (Beginner), as well as the Artifact Refining Insight..." [You successfully brought out the Artifact Refining Insight, costing 50,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving a balance of 221,196 points...] [You successfully brought out the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Third Layer (Beginner) cultivation, costing 100,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving a balance of 121,196 points...] As the prompt sounded, two streams of profound energy flowed into Su Xing''s body. A massive amount of artifact refining experience surged into Su Xing''s mind. The previously incomprehensible artifact refining techniques and obstacles were all effortlessly resolved. Chapter 303 Explosion in Strength, Physical Body Heavenly Immortal Realm! [8k]_2 In just a moment, Su Xing became a true artifact crafting grandmaster! High-grade Immortal Treasures, he could refine them too! "Tsk, tsk... an artifact crafting grandmaster! In the Three Thousand Worlds, he could be called a walking spirit stone production machine!" Su Xing clicked his tongue, knowing the profits from artifact crafting were not low. A single low-grade Immortal Treasure required materials costing around one to two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones to refine. As an artifact crafting grandmaster, if he were somewhat unscrupulous, making thirty percent profit would not be difficult. Taking the example of refining ten low-grade Immortal Treasures in a year, the annual profit would be three to four hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones! For a middle-grade Immortal Treasure, the materials needed would cost millions of high-grade spirit stones. And for a high-grade Immortal Treasure, the materials required would cost tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones! Even considering the difficulty and the losses, Su Xing''s pure profit would still be around ten percent... "Tsk, tsk, the Hundred Arts of Cultivationalchemy, artifact crafting, talismans, formationsat their peak, are all madness-inducing money-makers!" Su Xing felt a bit excited. At this moment, the aura around Su Xing changed rapidly. Su Xing quickly calmed his mind and experienced it carefully. In just a brief moment, Su Xing''s strength began to skyrocket! One hundred fifty mountain river strength... Two hundred mountain river strength! In the end, Su Xing''s pure physical strength reached three hundred mountain river strength! The Great Witch Body Refining Decision officially stepped into the third layer! Su Xing''s body refinement cultivation level could now battle Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators! Hidden within the third layer of the Great Witch Body Refining Decision, besides providing Su Xing with increased physical body strength and power, it also contained two bloodline abilities... Heaven and Earth Apparition, and Myriad Stars Attraction! Su Xing closed his eyes for a moment, digesting the memories in his mind, and a glint of golden light flashed in his eyes. He murmured: "Big, big... big!" In the next second, Su Xing''s height began to rise... One zhang high... three zhang high... ten zhang high! If he wished, Su Xing could easily transform into a giant a hundred zhang tall at this moment! But Su Xing didn''t do that. Instead, with a thought, he returned to his original form. "Besides physical changes... the Heaven and Earth Apparition seems to have another use!" Su Xing let out a light shout, and behind him appeared a hundred-zhang tall phantom in golden armor, bearing a three-part resemblance to Su Xing but looking like an ancient great witch. After this phantom appeared, although Su Xing''s physical body didn''t change, his internal strength seemed endless. Using this Heaven and Earth Apparition phantom behind him, Su Xing could burst out nearly a thousand mountain river strength in a short time! If he added the boost from origin force... that would be nearly ten thousand mountain river strength! Moreover, after the Heaven and Earth Apparition appeared, Su Xing vaguely felt a certain connection between himself and the stars in the sky. If Su Xing was willing to pay a price, including but not limited to cultivation level and lifespan, he could trigger the stars to fall! The higher his cultivation level, the stronger the stars he could trigger! At Su Xing''s current cultivation level, it seemed he was still a bit short of triggering the moon, but triggering meteors in the cosmos shouldn''t be a problem! "Tsk, tsk... Myriad Stars Attraction, Heaven and Earth Apparition! The ancient Witch Clan truly deserves to be the overlords of heaven and earth... their power is too strong!" Su Xing''s heart pounded. It''s no exaggeration to say, at his current strength, he could fight a mid-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator! If Su Xing was willing to pay a certain price to trigger the falling stars, even a late-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator might unexpectedly fall... "Tsk, tsk... my body refinement cultivation level has completely surpassed my qi refinement cultivation level!" Su Xing blinked, but immediately felt a bit troubled. Entering the third layer of the Great Witch Body Refining Decision had cost Su Xing a full ten million origin energy sources... This meant, if Su Xing wanted to reach minor achievement in the third layer, he would need to spend thirty million origin energy sources... reaching perfection in the third layer would require ninety million origin energy sources! With the current energy at Su Xing''s disposal... it was far from enough to pay such a lot. "Sigh, it seems I have to put body refinement cultivation on hold for now... better focus on improving my qi refinement cultivation first!" Su Xing murmured. His current qi refinement cultivation was at the first layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, but with the accumulation of resources, reaching perfection in the Earth Immortal Realm wouldn''t be difficult. Improving his qi refinement cultivation would bring many benefits for Su Xing. It would allow for longer distance void navigation... and make the enhancement of his artifact crafting and alchemy skills more convenient! The primary reason Su Xing found it difficult to refine super-grade Immortal Treasures was largely due to his inadequate cultivation level. "So in the next simulation, I must focus on improving my qi refinement cultivation!" Su Xing made a brief plan in his heart. After extracting the simulation reward, Su Xing glanced at the time, disguised himself, and traded with Lu Yuanwu. This week, he once again obtained twenty thousand origin energy sources. At the same time, Lu Yuanwu also promised to bring twenty thousand tons of fourth-rank special metal in the next week''s trade. After completing the transaction, Su Xing spent a week repairing four puppets. Next, Su Xing planned to make these puppets his core and send them to all Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains to continuously gather origin energy sources for him. Until the entire Blue Star''s resources could no longer satisfy Su Xing''s weekly simulation needs, Su Xing could only head to the Three Thousand Worlds... Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire On November 4, 2025, Su Xing went to trade with Jin Congxue. In one transaction, Su Xing gained another thirty thousand origin energy sources. Returning to the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing began a new round of simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Simulation No. 111 started, current remaining origin energy sources are 172,352 points... remaining simulation count is none.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of origin energy source, would you like to extract?] Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 303 Explosion in Strength, Physical Body Heavenly Immortal Realm! [8k]_3 Su Xing thought for a moment and didn''t choose to draw a new talent. "Inborn Unique Meridian talent... it''s time to put it to use!" Su Xing muttered, spending a few Origin Energy Source points, successfully drawing out his previous Inborn Unique Meridian talent! [Inborn Unique Meridian]: Golden talent, you are naturally unable to improve your cultivation by taking elixirs, but your cultivation speed in a natural state becomes twice as fast... "Unable to cultivate with elixirs... but fortunately, using Spiritual Liquid to improve my Qi Refining Cultivation is not categorized as an elixir... Star Stones aren''t elixirs either!" Su Xing muttered, looking towards the simulation panel. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the golden talent Inborn Unique Meridian, simulation begins!] [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were in simulation.] [Ten days later, you headed to the Luo Tian Instance...] [After leaving the Luo Tian Instance, you returned to the Spirit Field Cave for dedicated cultivation.] Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire [You cultivated for one hour daily, and on seasonal days, your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.] [However, the resources required for Earth Immortal Realm cultivation are ten times that of Human Immortal Realm.] [Although you cultivated daily, your speed was more than ten times faster than ordinary Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, but the consumption was also greater.] [For daily cultivation, each hour required nearly a thousand drops of High-Grade Spiritual Liquid.] [On seasonal days, you needed over ten thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid...] [Thus, you cultivated for two years, feeling your cultivation level improve daily, but you consumed a million High-Grade Spiritual Liquid.] [By the third year, even with the millions of drops of High-Grade Spiritual Liquid accumulated previously, it wouldn''t last long at this rate.] [If you want to maintain your cultivation speed, you must obtain more Spiritual Liquid...] [This year, your Spirit Field Cave began to produce High-Grade Spiritual Liquid, but only ten thousand drops a year, a drop in the ocean compared to your needs...] [Therefore, you raided the Treasure Vault of the Descending Sect, the Blood Demon Realm, and killed the Damned Dragon.] [In the same year, you went to the Beast Taming Realm to purge the disasters.] [In the fourth year, you left a few talismans and a few Low-Grade Immortal Treasures for the Great Xia Country, and left Blue Star with your family and friends.] [After arriving at the Little Qingyun Realm, you sold some critical information and harvested a considerable amount of Spirit Stones.] [You stayed in White Emperor City for several years, selling Spirit Stones to purchase Spiritual Liquid, but only managed to gather a million drops of Low-Grade Spiritual Liquid...] In the real world, Su Xing sighed upon seeing this. "Ah, even immortals are poor!" "The amount of Spiritual Liquid an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator consumes for cultivation is enormous... often requiring ten thousand years of accumulation to be enough for cultivation." "Spiritual Liquid isn''t something ordinary cultivators would sell, they keep it for their own cultivation... but using Spirit Stones to cultivate is too slow..." Su Xing thought about it; the Spiritual Liquid in his hand should be enough for over ten years of cultivation. Within these ten years, Su Xing must find new sources. And to find new sources, the fastest way to obtain Spiritual Liquid was naturally through pillaging! Robbing the evil cultivators of the Descending Sect! With this in mind, Su Xing looked towards the simulation panel. [In the fifth year, the loose cultivators in White Emperor City gathered to exterminate the Descending Sect branch.] [You disguised yourself as an ordinary Earth Immortal Realm loose cultivator, hiding among the cultivators attacking the Descending Sect...] [In three years, you were always at the forefront, relying on your extraordinary strength, killing no less than twenty senior members of the Descending Sect, with countless members below the Human Immortal Realm falling to your hands.] [Thus, you accumulated ten million drops of High-Grade Spiritual Liquid, ten million drops of Mid-Grade Spiritual Liquid, and over thirty million drops of Low-Grade Spiritual Liquid...] [After a major raid, you became quite wealthy, but fearing the Descending Sect would uncover your identity, you left the Little Qingyun Realm...] [In the ninth year, you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to the Blackwater Realm, where you found hidden treasures in an underwater cave, gaining five hundred thousand drops of High-Grade Spiritual Liquid...] [For the next eleven years, you stayed in the Blackwater Realm, cultivating in hiding.] [By the twentieth year of the simulation, you broke through to the mid-stage of the First Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, consuming millions of drops of High-Grade Spiritual Liquid over the years, making remarkable progress.] [In the twenty-eighth year, you reached the late stage of the First Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [In the thirty-fifth year, you reached the peak of the First Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [In that year, the Secret Realm of the All-Encompassing Flower opened, and you harvested the All-Encompassing Flowers, waiting by the exit for your prey.] [As expected, three senior members of the Descending Sect arrived, and you killed them, seizing a plethora of resources, including over a million drops of High-Grade Spiritual Liquid...] Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Reaching the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, you stayed in the Blackwater Realm, preparing to advance to the Second Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [In the fortieth year, you finally broke through.] [Congratulations on becoming a Second Layer Earth Immortal Realm cultivator!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and felt a surge of emotion. "In just forty years, I''ve advanced to the Second Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, this speed is truly unprecedented!" Su Xing made a quick calculation. Although his Spiritual Root was only a three-element mutated Heavenly Spirit Root, his cultivation speed far surpassed ordinary cultivators, thanks to his talent and sufficient Spiritual Liquid. The Seventh Rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array on him doubled his cultivation speed. The Zhengyi Submission Decision increased his cultivation speed more than threefold! The Inborn Unique Meridian talent doubled his cultivation speed... With the continuous support of High-Grade Spiritual Liquid, Su Xing''s forty years of cultivation equated to one or two thousand years of hard work for an average Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. "It''s a pity I haven''t drawn a golden quality Spiritual Root yet, otherwise, my cultivation speed could be even faster!" Su Xing sighed, estimating that this simulation''s breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm should not be difficult. He looked towards the simulation panel. Chapter 303 Explosion in Strength, Physical Body Heavenly Immortal Realm! [8k]_4 [After breaking through to the middle stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, you sensed that continuing to stay in the Blackwater Realm might be dangerous.] [So you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, traversing nearly ten Void Nodes, and arrived at the Star Realm.] [In the forty-first year, after your mana recovered, you wandered among the various tribes of the Star Realm, assuming the identity of a lost artifact-refining Grandmaster.] [Sure enough, once the cultivators of the Star Realm knew you were an artifact-refining Grandmaster, their attitudes changed.] [The cultivators of this realm, unlike the outside world, constantly needed various precious Immortal Treasures.] [So, in addition to your cultivation, you began refining magical treasures for the cultivators of various tribes.] [From the lower-grade Immortal Treasures needed by Human Immortal Realm cultivators to the high-grade Immortal Treasures needed by Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, you could refine them all.] [With your superb artifact refining skills, your reputation quickly spread throughout the Star Realm.] [Each year you only refined three Immortal Treasures: one low-grade, one mid-grade, and one high-grade Immortal Treasure, but even so, you could earn 1.5 million high-grade Spirit Stones yearly.] [Furthermore, you charged only Spiritual Liquid for your refining services. Though Spiritual Liquid was precious, you could still earn twenty to thirty thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid yearly.] [In the following decades, you stayed in the Star Realm to cultivate, refine artifacts, and occasionally played the role of a sky bandit, stealing the Star Observation Methods of various tribes.] [In this way, nineteen years passed.] [In the sixtieth year, your cultivation level advanced to the mid-stage of the Second Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [You had nearly collected all parts of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, missing only a few tribes...] [Thus, another twenty years passed.] [In the eightieth year, your cultivation level advanced to the late phase of the Second Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm!] Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire [In the same year, you finally completed the collection of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method!] [After completing the collection of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, you began trying to memorize it...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and smiled with joy. "Phew... after several simulations, I finally gathered the entire Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method. It seems it''s time to comprehend a more profound Path of Causality and Destiny!" Su Xing felt a surge of joy in his heart and silently thought: "Use immersive simulation for a duration of one month..." [Ding...] As the simulation prompt sounded, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the simulated world. He then consumed a Spirit Awakening Pill and began memorizing the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method. Three days later, Su Xing had fully memorized the cultivation process of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method. Although he had not yet comprehended it, he had gained quite a lot. "This Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method... using the power of the stars to comprehend the Path of Causality and Destiny, it truly is profound!" Su Xing praised, but during the process of memorizing, he also learned something. Several eras ago, the Star Witch not only mastered the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method but also the more powerful "Great Celestial Observation Method"! However, this method had long been lost, and Su Xing had no way of knowing it for now. "Alas, it doesn''t matter. Let''s start comprehending the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method in earnest!" Su Xing took a deep breath and sat down on a plain. The myriad stars in the sky seemed to harmonize with Su Xing''s breathing. In this way, a week passed... On the tenth day of the immersive simulation, Su Xing opened his eyes and frowned slightly. "One week of immersive simulation... equivalent to several years of comprehension, yet I haven''t grasped even the basics?" Su Xing felt somewhat troubled. He had underestimated the difficulty of cultivating the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method. "The Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method is not only difficult to comprehend... the ancient Witch Clan texts within it are even harder to understand, and the texts contain the Path of Causality and Destiny..." "With my current understanding of Causality and Destiny, it seems temporarily impossible to directly comprehend them?" Su Xing pondered. After perfecting the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, Su Xing''s Origin of Causality and Destiny had reached a great achievement. If he advanced two more steps, he could fully comprehend the Path of Causality and Destiny and grasp the rudiments of the Great Dao. "The Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique... it seems it can still progress. If I can integrate the sections on National Fortune and Human Fortune, I should be able to comprehend the rudiments of both Daos..." Su Xing decided to put off cultivating the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method for now and instead focus on extracting the final value of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique to enhance his Dao Comprehension. Thus, twenty days passed, and the immersive simulation ended. ... Twenty days of immersive simulation were equivalent to over ten years of comprehension. Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, showing a look of satisfaction. "Not bad, my Origin of Causality and Destiny has advanced further... finally reaching perfection!" Su Xing extended his hand, and with a mere thought, two illusory lines appeared in his palm. With Su Xing''s current cultivation level and comprehension, he could even change a mortal''s destiny with a wave of his hand. Even a beggar, if his destiny was altered by Su Xing, could have the appearance of an emperor! "However, meddling too much with Causality and Destiny harms oneself, burdening you with cause and effect... unless necessary, it''s best not to easily change others'' destinies!" Su Xing murmured, looking at the simulation panel. [Your Path of Causality and Destiny has advanced further...] [Next, you stayed in the Star Realm, hoping to find traces of the Great Celestial Observation Method...] Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[8k]_5 [In the ninety-fifth year, you went to the Money Guild, ready to trade and purchase a large amount of Spiritual Liquid!] [You displayed your Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level, entered the VIP room of the Money Guild, and met with a guild manager.] [In the manager''s surprised gaze, you took out more than ten Gathering Spirit Flowers, indicating that you wanted to trade with the Money Guild.] [The manager gave you a fair price, one Gathering Spirit Flower, worth two hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones...] [This also meant that more than ten Gathering Spirit Flowers were only worth about twenty thousand high-grade Spirit Stones...] [If you directly traded the Gathering Spirit Flowers for Spiritual Liquid with the Money Guild, ten Gathering Spirit Flowers could be exchanged for about five thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly. "Ten Gathering Spirit Flowers, worth five thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid..." Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire "In my Spirit Field Cave, there are only ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers, which means I can only trade for about five million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid..." Su Xing pondered for a moment. His Spirit Field Cave produced about ten thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid a year. Five hundred years would be enough to produce high-grade Spiritual Liquid... "Sigh, this deal is really a huge loss!" "The price of Spiritual Liquid is really expensive!" Su Xing pondered for a while. The five million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid would at most last him four or five years of cultivation, and that was with extreme frugality. If he ran out of high-grade Spiritual Liquid, Su Xing would have to use mid-grade and low-grade Spiritual Liquid, or even Spirit Stones for cultivation. At that time, his cultivation speed would definitely decline significantly. "Sigh, but there''s no other way! I still have to trade!" Su Xing muttered, gazing at the Simulation Panel. [The value of Spiritual Liquid exceeded your expectations, but you still sold five thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers in one go, purchasing two hundred and fifty thousand drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid.] [With enough Spiritual Liquid obtained, you stayed in Cangwu Realm, continuing your cultivation.] [Thus, fifteen years passed.] [In the hundred and tenth year, your cultivation level rose to the mid-stage of the Third Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [In these years of cultivation, you have exhausted all of your high-grade Spiritual Liquid and spent over ten million drops of mid-grade Spiritual Liquid.] [The decline in cultivation speed forced you to find new ways to acquire more resources.] [But fortunately, over the years, you have accumulated quite a few Immortal Treasures.] [You sold more than ten mid-grade Immortal Treasures, earning tens of millions of high-grade Spirit Stones. With these high-grade Spirit Stones, you once again purchased two million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid.] Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You went to the Money Guild, requesting that they escort you to the Tianyuan Realm.] [This time, it was not the vice president, Xiao Zi, who received you, but a manager.] [The manager informed you that the Golden Immortal who last headed to the Tianyuan Realm for void navigation had set off over a hundred years ago...] [The date of the next voyage was unknown, but he would inform you if there were any updates...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly. "In the previous simulation, the vice president, Xiao Zi, even said... the flight was once every hundred years..." "But this time, the manager''s statement changed?" Su Xing pondered for a moment, muttering: "It seems that the date of void navigation is not fixed... If I want to go to the Tianyuan Realm, I will have to wait until around the two-hundred-year simulation..." "The main reason is that long-distance void navigation requires Golden Immortal Realm cultivators to escort... But those Golden Immortal Realm cultivators are not always available..." Su Xing pondered for a moment. Since he could not head to the Tianyuan Realm in advance, Su Xing had to find a way to organize protection against the Blood Three of the Descending Sect''s pursuit. "In the simulated one hundred and sixtieth year, the Descending Sect targeted me... Perhaps I could seek the protection of the Money Guild to stop Blood Three''s pursuit?" With this thought, Su Xing looked at the Simulation Panel. [You carried more than two million drops of Spiritual Liquid back to the cave to continue your cultivation.] [Thus, another fifteen years passed.] [In the hundred and twenty-fifth year, your cultivation level rose to the late stage of the Third Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [That year, you exhausted all the mid-grade Spiritual Liquid you had accumulated and could only use low-grade Spiritual Liquid for cultivation, significantly slowing down your cultivation speed...] [Fortunately, besides cultivation, you also collected materials and refined Immortal Treasures.] [Over the years, you refined three high-grade Immortal Treasures, preparing to sell them in exchange for Spiritual Liquid for cultivation.] [In the hundred and thirtieth year, you went to the Money Guild, sold three high-grade Immortal Treasures, and wanted to exchange them for ten million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid.] [However, the Money Guild informed you that a quantity of ten million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid was too large to be exchanged at once.] [Thus, you obtained three million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid.

"Phew, finally I managed to break through to the Middle Phase of the Earth Immortal Realm..." "With a Heavenly Spirit Root qualification, breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm is one in ten thousand... but ultimately, my Spiritual Root is somewhat lacking!" "Fortunately, I had the assistance of the Spirit Vein Dragon... I wonder if I can break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm?" Su Xing felt some worries in his heart as he looked at the simulation panel. [After breaking through to the Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, you continued your cultivation.] [By the hundred and fifty-fifth year, the Money Guild handed over the remaining seven million drops of Spiritual Liquid to you.] [After obtaining it, you accelerated your cultivation.] [By the hundred and sixtieth year, your cultivation level had risen to the middle phase of the Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [But as the time reached the hundred and sixtieth year, you became extremely anxious, occasionally using the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, and your fortune was far from what it used to be.] [You sensed that Blood Three would find your trail this year, so you urgently sought help from the Money Guild.] [You went to the Money Guild, hoping to get protection from a Golden Immortal cultivator from the Money Guild, with a protection period of forty years, until you could head to Tianyuan Realm.] [However, the cost of requesting a Golden Immortal was extremely high, and Blood Three''s strength was so formidable that a Golden Immortal cultivator could not guarantee your complete safety.] [In the end, you used an Innate Fusang Tree Branch and ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers as a price to request the help of two Golden Immortal cultivators to protect you for twenty years.] [However, as part of the agreement, you had to stay within the Money Guild to prevent a possible sneak attack from Blood Three.] [One day, feeling uneasy, you suddenly received a frantic warning from your Danger Sense Talent.] [The next day, Blood Three came looking for you, intending to kill you on the spot.] [At the critical moment, the two Golden Immortal cultivators fought against Blood Three with terrifying Divine Sense.] [The battle between cultivators of this realm was not something you could interfere with.] [You had to hide in the distance, secretly observing and praying for Blood Three to leave quickly...] [But in just a moment of the battle.] [You heard the two Golden Immortal cultivators who arrived exclaim in horror: "How could a Taiyi Golden Immortal be here? The mission information is wrong, retreat!"] [Then the two Golden Immortal cultivators hurriedly fled...] [Blood Three walked towards you with a playful expression...] [Your consciousness gradually faded...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation ends!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and felt an immense shock in his heart. "Taiyi... How could it be a Taiyi Golden Immortal!" Su Xing''s eyes were dazed, he had always thought Blood Three was a Golden Immortal cultivator, but he never expected... it would be a Taiyi Golden Immortal, which was above the Golden Immortal Realm! If a Golden Immortal was already a top-tier cultivator across the Three Thousand Worlds... Then a Taiyi Golden Immortal was an absolute powerful existence! In this era where Saints do not appear and Daluo Golden Immortals do not emerge... the Taiyi Golden Immortal was an invincible existence! Perhaps in the Three Thousand Worlds, rumors of fallen Golden Immortals would circulate every ten thousand years... But for Taiyi Golden Immortals, news of their deaths had not been heard for thousands of years! "Blood Three is actually a Taiyi Golden Immortal?" "Doesn''t this mean... the Descending Sect has at least three Taiyi Golden Immortals, and a Daluo Golden Immortal backing them!?" Su Xing took a deep breath, feeling even more troubled. According to the information he had obtained. The Descending Sect''s strength was ranked by code names. Blood Three was a Taiyi Golden Immortal, so Blood Two and Blood One... were at least of this level! Adding to that the Blood Immortal that existed only in rumors... The strength of the Descending Sect was even greater than Su Xing had imagined! "Things have become really tricky!" "It seems, to completely escape from Blood Three, I have to ride the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat... and flee to even farther worlds!" Su Xing thought to himself. Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal''s Divine Sense could not cross the void and locate someone in another world. So Su Xing only needed to keep running, and he might evade the pursuits of Blood Three and Qing Yunzi... "Now, my Qi Refining Cultivation is at the Middle Phase of the Earth Immortal Realm... My mana is so abundant that it doesn''t fall behind the late phase of the Earth Immortal Realm either!" "Maybe, I don''t need to go to Cangwu Realm... I could use the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to head directly to the Great Tianyuan Realm?" Su Xing murmured to himself, but with his cultivation level not yet at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, wanting to traverse the void and cross hundreds of void nodes was evidently very dangerous. Su Xing needed to plan carefully to reach the Great Tianyuan Realm! Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire "Phew... but before that, I should first claim my rewards!" Su Xing murmured, looking at the list of rewards this time. [Inborn Unique Meridian]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 Origin Energy Source points.

Due to insufficient mana, it''s difficult to refine top-tier Immortal Treasures, priced at 10,000 Origin Energy Source. During this simulation, besides improving his Qi Refining Cultivation, Su Xing spent almost all of his time on artifact refining to secure enough resources for cultivation. "The Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method has finally been completely gathered..." Su Xing pondered for a while and then said: "I choose to take out the Golden Talent ''Inborn Unique Meridian''... and the Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level!" The cultivation level was a reward that had to be taken out. As for the Golden Talent, the double cultivation speed boost made it hard for Su Xing not to be tempted. [You have successfully taken out the Golden Talent ''Inborn Unique Meridian,'' costing 10 Origin Energy Source points, leaving 172,346 points remaining...] [You have successfully taken out the Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level, costing 90,000 Origin Energy Source points, leaving 82,336 points remaining...] After the simulation prompt sounded, two streams of profound energy surged into Su Xing''s body. ''Inborn Unique Meridian'' officially became Su Xing''s twenty-second talent. Currently, Su Xing''s talent limit was twenty-five, meaning he had three more talents to choose from freely. Aside from gaining one more talent, Su Xing''s cultivation aura rapidly increased as well. Second Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm... Third Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm... Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm! Su Xing''s cultivation level advanced from the early stage of the Earth Immortal Realm to the mid-stage! The entire cost, taking no more than one hundred and sixty years, matched what an ordinary Earth Immortal Realm cultivator would take four to five thousand years of hard work to achieve... "Phew..." Su Xing slowly rose, exhaling a breath of turbid air, and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, the speed of improving my Qi Refining cultivation level has not fallen behind..." "At this rate, it will take at most three more simulations to reach the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm!" Su Xing''s expression showed some excitement. To be able to guarantee a breakthrough to a new major realm within four simulations while still in the Earth Immortal Realm, this speed was beyond his expectations. After all, four simulations would be roughly equivalent to only a month in the real world. At this rate, achieving the True Immortal Realm within a year was entirely feasible! The only troublesome part was the shortage of cultivation resources and energy... "Phew... But fortunately, there''s still the promised 300,000 Origin Energy Source from Lu Yuanwu this week, which can sustain me for a while longer!" Su Xing checked the time, disguised himself, and prepared to meet Lu Yuanwu for the transaction. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire Moments later, Su Xing appeared in the mountains on the outskirts of Kyoto. At the designated meeting place, Lu Yuanwu had been waiting for quite some time. Upon seeing Su Xing appear, he hurried forward, handing over a storage ring and said: "Senior, here is the promised 20,000 tons of fourth-rank special metal..." Lu Yuanwu, though graying at the temples, looked much healthier than before and spoke in amazement. Su Xing took the storage ring, and a thought arose in his mind as the simulator''s prompt sounded in his ear. [Ding, detected substantial Origin Energy Source material, worth a total of 300,000 Origin Energy Source points, absorb?] "Yes!" Su Xing silently commanded, and the special metal was completely absorbed. Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and then waved his hand, making thirty bottles of Divine Strength Pills appear in front of Lu Yuanwu. Exactly three hundred pills, each one of the highest quality! Lu Yuanwu''s face lit up with joy, hurriedly storing the elixirs while he couldn''t help but flatter Su Xing. "Senior, you are truly noble and selfless... You have made a great contribution to our Human Race!" "Senior... My admiration for you is like the vast, endless river, like the mighty, overflowing Yellow River..." Listening to the flattering remarks spilling from Lu Yuanwu, a strange look appeared on Su Xing''s face. Who would have thought that the dignified Martial Emperor of Great Xia Country would be so good at flattery? Su Xing contemplated for a moment and then spoke earnestly to Lu Yuanwu: "Little Lu! We''ve been working together for some time... Let me ask you, do you want to become a Legendary-level powerhouse?" Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hearing Su Xing''s words, Lu Yuanwu paused, then his face turned red with excitement, and he stammered: "Senior... Can I, can I really break through to the Legendary Level?" Lu Yuanwu rarely showed such loss of composure. Even the previous information about the Divine Strength Pill hadn''t excited him this much. As a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse who had been in a high position for many years, Lu Yuanwu immediately captured numerous implications from Su Xing''s short statement. Firstly, Su Xing had the ability to help a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse advance to the Legendary Level! Secondly, Su Xing was willing to help him advance to the Legendary Level! This was a Legendary-level powerhouse! Throughout the Great Xia Country, there were only a dozen or so, and they were all stationed at the Demon-Subduing Pass! Throughout the entire Human Race, there were no more than thirty Legendary-level powerhouses... Lu Yuanwu had been stuck at the peak of the Martial Emperor level for nearly a hundred years... Aside from the lack of absolute confidence in advancing to the Legendary Level, he was also worried that after breaking through to the Legendary Level, he might not be able to stay on Blue Star and might lose himself... If he could break through to the Legendary Level, he might even be laughing in his dreams! Seeing Lu Yuanwu''s loss of composure, Su Xing was mentally prepared and said: "Ahem, I do have the capability to help Martial Emperor-level professionals break through to the Legendary Level..." "However, this method is quite troublesome..." Su Xing feigned hesitation and said: "How about this? I''ll help you break through to the Legendary Level... You give me 10,000 tons of fourth-rank special metal, how about it?" Su Xing paused here and then added, "Consider this our private deal!" Su Xing proposed this naturally with his own calculations in mind. Firstly, 10,000 tons of fourth-rank special metal, worth 200,000 Origin Energy Source, was quite significant for him and could greatly replenish his resources. Secondly, there would be many more dealings with Lu Yuanwu in the future. Su Xing felt it necessary to help Lu Yuanwu elevate his position within Great Xia Country. Chapter 304 Plan to Go to the Tianyuan Realm, A Big Deal! [8k]_3 As for the best way to elevate one''s status, naturally, it was to increase one''s strength! "Ten thousand tons of fourth-rank special metal... to help me advance to the legendary level..." "This... isn''t this practically giving it away for free?" Lu Yuanwu''s eyes widened as he hurriedly said, "Senior, I am willing!" "It''s just that..." Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At this point, Lu Yuanwu hesitated a bit and explained, "It''s just that I''ve been stuck at the peak of the Martial Emperor Level for many years and have no confidence in breaking through..." "Moreover, after advancing to the legendary level, there seems to be some risk; I might have to seek refuge at the Demon-Subduing Pass..." Su Xing naturally knew Lu Yuanwu''s concerns. On Blue Star, all profession users were considered "reserve food" for the Red Moon. And after advancing to the legendary level, people would mysteriously disappear. Su Xing had already deduced that this was related to the Red Moon. As for the solution, as long as Su Xing was willing to sever the cause and effect or shield the heavenly secrets, it would be possible to avoid the Red Moon''s perception. After all, a mere legendary-level expert wasn''t something the Red Moon would pay much attention to... So, Su Xing said, "Rest assured, I will still need to trade with you in the future... Since I promise to ensure your advancement to the legendary level, I will definitely eliminate any hidden dangers for you!" Su Xing thought for a moment and said, "How about this, return to this place in a week, and I will trade with you, providing you with an elixir. Take it once a month, and within three months, you will have the confidence to challenge the legendary dungeon!" "When you break into the legendary level, I will find you again and ensure you are free from any risk, allowing you to remain on Blue Star..." Upon hearing such a detailed guarantee and plan from Su Xing, Lu Yuanwu''s face lit up with joy, nodding repeatedly. Then he hesitantly asked, "Senior... besides me, can other Martial Emperor Level experts also be guaranteed to break through to the legendary level?" Su Xing thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but each one will also require ten thousand tons of fourth-rank special metal... and the number cannot exceed ten!" "Remember... they must be peak Martial Emperor Level profession users of the strength type; otherwise, this method will not work... As for the candidates, you pick them yourself; make sure they are trustworthy!" Lu Yuanwu nodded repeatedly and agreed immediately. ... After parting with Lu Yuanwu, Su Xing used sword flight to arrive at the entrance of the Beast Taming Realm dungeon. "Phew... elevating ten legendary level experts... one legendary-level foreign race''s flesh essence should be enough, right?" Yes, Su Xing''s plan was to use the Rebirth Pill to help these profession users advance! As for possible side effects after taking the Rebirth Pill, With Su Xing''s current cultivation level, he could easily remove them! "Ten legendary levels... that''s a hundred thousand tons of fourth-rank special metal, two million origin energy sources!" "Completing this trade might just be enough for the cultivation needs of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" Su Xing felt excited. Then, casting a formation to shield his aura and presence, Su Xing entered the Beast Taming Realm dungeon. Upon entering the Beast Taming Realm dungeon, Su Xing arrived naturally at the Red Dragon''s lair. Without alerting the Red Dragon, Su Xing followed his memory and reached the native land of the Beast Taming Realm. After spending another day, he made his way to the battlefield between the Beast Taming Realm and the foreign race. Looking at the familiar red soil and blood-red sky, Su Xing clicked his tongue and muttered, "Tsk tsk, I''d love to wipe out all the foreign races in the Beast Taming Realm... but the time isn''t right yet..." Su Xing didn''t make any rash moves, instead stealthily approaching over three days to silently take down a legendary-level foreign race. After obtaining its flesh essence, Su Xing smoothly returned to Blue Star. In the Beast Taming Realm, with hundreds of legendary foreign races, the loss of one wouldn''t cause much commotion... ... Inside the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing prepared to refine the legendary Rebirth Pills. A hundred pounds of flesh essence was enough for Su Xing to refine several hundred Rebirth Pills. But to ensure the potency of the elixirs and eliminate their side effects as much as possible, He ended up purifying and refining only one hundred supreme-grade Rebirth Pills. "Phew... finally succeeded in the refinement, the Rebirth Pill is enough to enhance the physical constitution of Martial Emperor profession users by thirty to fifty percent..." Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. Checking the time, there were still two days left before the week ended. So Su Xing took the opportunity to repair a puppet at the Divinity Transformation Stage. Soon, it was November 11, 2025, the New Era, and Su Xing went to the villa to meet with Jin Congxue. After a successful trade, he gained another thirty thousand origin energy sources. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire Besides providing Jin Congxue with raw alien metal and elixirs, Su Xing also gifted him a supreme-grade spiritual treasure-level necklace. This made Jin Congxue''s face blush with excitement, though he didn''t know the true value of the necklace. Su Xing had infused the supreme-grade spiritual treasure with a wisp of immortal power and set up prohibitions. Even if Integration Phase or Mahayana Realm cultivators intended harm towards Jin Congxue, they would be easily blocked. ... Back in the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing planned his future simulation schedule while the cooldown for the simulated time had not yet ended. "From the information revealed by Lu Yuanwu a few days ago, the Great Xia Country can provide ten thousand tons of fourth-rank special metal... but it might be difficult..." "And for my Earth Immortal Realm to reach even the Perfection stage, I still need to spend twenty thousand simulated energy... Raising the Heavenly Immortal Realm to Perfection requires around a million energy sources..." "So, conservatively, raising it to the True Immortal Realm will cost at least over two million origin energies!" Su Xing calculated that if the plan was executed smoothly, he would be able to gather that much origin energy source. Chapter 304 Plan to Go to the Tianyuan Realm, A Big Deal! [8k]_4 But the improvement in Body Refinement would have to be set aside for a while. "Prioritize achieving Qi Refining Cultivation to the True Immortal Realm, then I can inherit the Luo Tian Mirror!" Su Xing''s goal was just that! "If the resources from Blue Star can''t support my further breakthroughs, then I''ll head to the Three Thousand Worlds!" Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, the decision was made in his heart. When the simulation cooldown was complete, Su Xing silently chanted: "Start simulation!" [112th simulation begins, current remaining Origin Energy Source is 413,456 points... No remaining simulation attempts.] [Simulation starting!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, would you like to extract it?] "Yes," Su Xing silently chanted. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent, Divine Body of Yellow Earth, the probability of extracting the Golden Talent next time is sixty percent...] [Divine Body of Yellow Earth]: One of the Hundred Great Divine Bodies in the Cultivation World, your absorption of earth-attributed Spiritual Energy and comprehension of the Great Dao of Earth far exceed ordinary people. Su Xing glanced at the newly extracted talent and shook his head slightly: "What a pity, I don''t have an earth-attributed Spiritual Root... This Divine Body will have to be set aside for now..." "Therefore, this simulation will still focus on improving Qi Refining Cultivation... Additionally, I need to start nurturing the Spirit Sword, at the very least, to elevate the Ink Ice Sword to the high-grade Immortal Treasure level!" With this thought in mind, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized that you are simulating.] [Ten days later, you ventured into the Luo Tian Instance to study the Dao of Puppets.] [In the next year, besides cultivating, you used Origin Force daily to nurture the Spirit Sword Mo Bing.] [In the third year, you ransacked the Descending Sect''s treasure vault in the Blood Demon Realm...] [In the same year, you took your family and friends to the Little Qingyun Realm.] Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You sold intelligence to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, acquiring a large number of Spirit Stones.] [In the fourth year, you joined loose cultivators from White Emperor City to raid the Descending Sect''s branch, accumulating Spiritual Liquid.] [In the tenth year, your cultivation further improved, advancing to the late stage of the fourth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [In the same year, you navigated the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to the Blackwater Realm.] [You started planting Gathering Spirit Flowers in the Spirit Field Cave.] [Every three years, you could harvest a thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers...] [In the twenty-fifth year, you harvested a total of five thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers, and your Qi Refining Cultivation successfully advanced to the Peak of the fourth level of the Earth Immortal Realm!] [In the same year, you began to break through the bottleneck of the minor realm...] [Three years later, you successfully exited seclusion.] [In the twenty-eighth year, your cultivation advanced to the fifth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [That year, you began to reforge the Spirit Sword Mo Bing.] [You took out a sword-shaped Immortal Treasure prototype, which was extremely compatible with the Ink Ice Sword.] [After forty-nine days of reforging, the quality of the Ink Ice Sword finally broke through, upgrading from a Spiritual Artifact to a low-grade Immortal Treasure!] [At the same time, you noticed that the spirituality of the Ink Ice Sword became increasingly abundant, resonating with your intentions...] [In the next seven years, aside from cultivating, you constantly refined the Spirit Sword Mo Bing, and its quality continuously improved.] [In the thirty-fifth year, you retrieved the Luo Tian Legacy from an underwater cave.] [After the All-Encompassing Flower Secret Realm opened, you killed three high-ranking members of the Descending Sect and acquired a significant amount of resources.] [That year, you navigated the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to the Star Realm.] [You stayed in the Star Realm for fifteen years, during which you refined Immortal Treasures for many cultivators, earning tens of millions of high-grade Spirit Stones.] [In the fiftieth year, through continuous refinement, the materials of the Spirit Sword Mo Bing reached the medium-grade Immortal Treasure level.] [And because this sword was your life-bound Origin Weapon, reinforced by Origin Force, its combat efficiency was comparable to that of a high-grade Immortal Treasure!] [That year, you navigated the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, passed through five Void Nodes, and arrived in the Cangwu Realm.] [In the fifty-first year, your cultivation advanced to the mid-stage of the fifth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [That year, as a Grandmaster of Artifact Refining, you refined Immortal Treasures for Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal cultivators in the Cangwu Realm.] [Each year, your income exceeded a million high-grade Spirit Stones...] [Aside from cultivating and artifact refining, you continuously used Origin Force to refine the Spirit Sword Mo Bing, and its quality kept improving...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and slightly nodded, saying: "The Ink Ice Sword has a good foundation and abundant spirituality... This is something many top-grade Immortal Treasures don''t possess!" "Moreover, this sword has become my life-bound Origin Weapon, resonating with my intentions, and it can''t be easily replaced..." "As long as it is repeatedly refined, elevating it to the top-grade Immortal Treasure level shouldn''t be difficult..." Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued: "However, I still need to find a way to purchase a route map to Tianyuan Realm in the Cangwu Realm..." "With my own strength, so long as I make multiple stops and decide on the worlds I need to pause in, I should be able to reach Tianyuan Realm..." With this thought in mind, Su Xing silently chanted: "Use immersive simulation, duration one day..." [Ding...] As his vision changed, Su Xing appeared in the simulated world. Without hesitation, Su Xing disguised himself and restrained his aura, heading to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Inside the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, a young girl looked at Su Xing and asked: "Daoist friend, what intelligence do you wish to purchase?" Su Xing replied: "I wish to purchase the void node routes from the Cangwu Realm to the Tianyuan Realm... Preferably several routes, including the coordinates of the Minor Thousand Worlds along the way for reference!" The girl was startled by Su Xing''s request and sized him up. Purchasing void node routes was clearly for the purpose of traversing the void. But traversing the void, even with the aid of spatial treasures, required at least a True Immortal Realm cultivation level to attempt. And heading to the Tianyuan Realm, such a distant journey, even an average Profound Immortal wasn''t assured of success... Nonetheless, as the Heavenly Secret Pavilion only sold intelligence and did not inquire into customer privacy, she asked: Chapter 304 Plan to Go to the Tianyuan Realm, A Big Deal! [8k]_5 "Yes, traveling from the Cangwu Realm to the Tianyuan Realm, you need to traverse between 97 to 113 Void Nodes, offering seven routes with varying difficulty passing through hundreds of worlds, available for your selection" "This intelligence is equivalent to the grade B-plus and extremely detailed. I''ll charge you three million high-grade Spirit Stones, how about that?" Upon hearing the girl''s words, Su Xing nodded slightly and, without haggling, tossed over a bag of Spirit Stones. S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After obtaining the intelligence Jade Slip, Su Xing returned to the cave estate he had temporarily acquired in the Cangwu Realm and then stepped into the Spirit Field Cave. Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing re-entered the real world. ... In the real world, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, routes to the Tianyuan Realm already forming in his mind. These Void routes varied in distance; some were very dangerous, requiring passage through terrifying Void turbulence but consuming less time. Others were very long yet relatively safe, but regrettably required passing through dozens of worlds, possibly taking twenty to thirty years. Su Xing kept filtering and thinking endlessly, finally determining his route. "Starting from the Cangwu Realm, heading north through six Void Nodes to reach the Spirit Beast Realm then going eastward through seven Void Nodes to reach the Yin Wood Realm" "Further eastward, passing through the Yellow Water Realm and Yellow Sky Realm finally reaching the Tianyuan Realm!" "This journey needs to traverse 103 Void Nodes, passing through about 13 worlds. It might take about twenty years to reach the Tianyuan Realm, right?" Su Xing clicked his tongue, with a plan already in mind. The reason he chose such a route. Firstly, to avoid those worlds invaded by Foreign Races, preventing unexpected incidents. Secondly, and more importantly, several of these worlds were once locations of Luo Tian Sect''s hidden treasures! If Su Xing explored them, he might acquire plenty of resources for his cultivation! "Huff 103 Void Nodes, though a bit far, are within an acceptable range!" "As long as I reach the Tianyuan Realm, at least the danger from the Descending Sect should be avoided Qing Yunzi''s Qingyun Realm is also far from the Tianyuan Realm, making it difficult for him to find me..." Su Xing felt excited but didn''t plan to set off immediately. "Void navigation is perilous; a single mistake can lead to getting lost in the Void turbulence Better to enhance my cultivation level first and take the risk only when the simulation is about to end!" Su Xing thought this, his gaze returning to the Simulation Panel. [After leaving the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, you continued to cultivate in the cave estate.] [Every twenty years, you would sell five thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers to the Money Guild, exchanging them for two million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid for cultivation.] [Despite this, it was still a drop in the bucket; the amount of Spiritual Liquid still kept depleting...] [In the seventieth year, your cultivation level advanced to the late stage of the fifth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [Through years of artifact refining and Origin Force nourishment, the spirituality of the Ink Ice Sword became increasingly high, nearing the level of a high-grade Immortal Treasure.] [In the eighty-fifth year, your cultivation level smoothly ascended to the peak of the fifth level of the Earth Immortal Realm, and you began seeking a breakthrough.] [In the eighty-eighth year, consuming a million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid, you successfully made a breakthrough!] [Congratulations on becoming a cultivator at the sixth level of the Earth Immortal Realm...] [In the ninetieth year, continued refining finally elevated the Ink Ice Sword to a high-grade Immortal Treasure, making it even more powerful than top-tier Immortal Treasures!] [With the Ink Ice Sword in hand, you were confident that you could defeat even mid-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators!] [That year, with most of your Spiritual Liquid consumed, you went to the Money Guild and sold a few high-grade Immortal Treasures you had previously refined, aiming to exchange for ten million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid.] [The transaction was successful, with the Money Guild informing you that within twenty years, they would provide you with all ten million drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid.] [With this supply, your cultivation speed increased by thirty percent.] [In the hundredth year, your cultivation level rose to the mid-stage of the sixth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [In the hundred and fifteenth year, your cultivation level ascended to the late stage of the sixth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [That same year, you spent a large sum, selling an Innate Fusang Tree Branch to obtain many precious artifact refining materials, the most valuable among them being a Spirit Sword Stone!] [The Spirit Sword Stone was an Acquired Treasure, inherently holding boundless Sword Intent. It could also be used as an artifact refining material to birth an Artifact Spirit within a magical treasure!] [You prepared to make a vigorous effort to refine the Ink Ice Sword to the level of a top-tier Immortal Treasure using the Spirit Sword Stone!] Chapter 305 Comprehending the Path of Causality and Destiny, The Price of Severing Causality! 【8k】 In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "If the Ink Ice Sword can truly be upgraded to an ultimate immortal treasure, my combat power will increase by at least thirty percent... For a period in the future, I won''t be at a disadvantage in the battle of the same realm artifacts..." "The problem now is whether my mana is sufficient to refine the ultimate immortal treasure?" Su Xing was a bit worried. Therefore, before completely refining the ultimate immortal treasure and engaging in long-distance void navigation, Su Xing hoped to quickly break through to the late Earth Immortal Realm. With the increase in mana, his grasp of the situation would undoubtedly improve. Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [Before refining the Ink Ice Sword, you decided to first raise your cultivation realm.] [In the next fifteen years, you occasionally refine artifacts, but spend most of your time practicing the Zhengyi Submission Decision, your cultivation level advancing by leaps and bounds...] [In the 125th year, your cultivation level reached the peak of the sixth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [You started attempting to break through to the late Earth Immortal Realm...] [In the 127th year, after the failure of your first breakthrough attempt, your mana became chaotic...] [So you started accumulating resources, preparing for a second breakthrough attempt...] [In this way, another three years passed.] [In the 130th year, during your second breakthrough, you spent a million drops of high-grade spiritual liquid.] [Finally, on a sunny and windy morning, luck favored you, and you successfully broke through...] [Congratulations, you became a late Earth Immortal Realm cultivator!] [After breaking through to the late Earth Immortal Realm, your mana became more abundant, increasing by more than fifty percent... The immortal power within you flowed endlessly like a long river...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly. "Not bad, the late Earth Immortal Realm, mana has grown significantly... It''s time to attempt refining the Ink Ice Sword!" Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel. [After breaking through to the late Earth Immortal Realm, you began to attempt refining the Ink Ice Sword anew.] [You took out the Spirit Sword Stone and various precious materials and began to retreat into artifact refining...] [In this long retreat, day and night blended together, and before you knew it, a year had passed...] [After a year of re-refining, your immortal power continuously surged into the Ink Ice Sword, the spirituality within it growing stronger, seeming to begin the birth of an artifact spirit...] [So, another year passed.] [On this day, a seven-colored glow floated over the Spirit Field Cave, and the Ink Ice Sword had finally been upgraded to an ultimate immortal treasure, almost reaching the realm of acquired treasures...] S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Just when you thought this was the limit for the Ink Ice Sword... the Spirit Vein Dragon suddenly approached and spat out a crystal-clear Dragon Ball...] [The Dragon Ball hovered above the Ink Ice Sword, causing light waves to ripple...] [Suddenly, the spirituality of the Ink Ice Sword increased greatly, its quality undergoing a transformation!] [The Ink Ice Sword directly upgraded from an ultimate immortal treasure to a half-step acquired treasure!] [And it finally gave birth to its own consciousness!] [You felt an immense joy in your heart, sensing that the touch of the Ink Ice Sword in your hand now felt like an extension of your own arm...] [With a thought, you moved the Ink Ice Sword into your body, where it gently quivered for three seconds, transformed into a rainbow light, and surged into your body!] [The Origin Force Flower within your dantian continuously emitted Origin Force, endlessly nurturing the Ink Ice Sword.] [As your innate artifact, given time, this Ink Ice Sword would eventually be fully upgraded to an acquired treasure!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and couldn''t help but feel delighted. "Luck... is indeed on my side!" "To think it directly upgraded to a level of acquired treasures? Though it''s only a half-step acquired treasure... it''s still far beyond an ultimate immortal treasure!" Su Xing murmured. A half-step acquired treasure was often an artifact that only a Profound Immortal could possess. Or some Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals with deep backgrounds might have a small chance to possess such treasures. It could be said that after mastering the Ink Ice Sword, Su Xing wouldn''t be at a disadvantage even against True Immortals in terms of artifacts. "With my current strength... could I defeat a late-stage Heavenly Immortal in battle?" Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing pondered for a moment, realizing he had never fought a late-stage Heavenly Immortal before. But by his calculations, even if he couldn''t win, he should have no problem fighting to a draw. "Moreover, since the Ink Ice Sword is my innate artifact... with the continuous nurturing of Origin Force, its potential and quality limits will be extremely high!" "With the material bonus of the Spirit Sword Stone, it won''t be at a disadvantage... This Ink Ice Sword should at least last me until the Golden Immortal Realm!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. With the artifact issue resolved, the next step was to find a way to travel to other worlds within the Three Thousand Worlds... Thinking this, Su Xing looked again at the simulation panel. [In the 135th year, you began preparing for void navigation to travel to the Tianyuan Realm...] [You purchased three million drops of high-grade spiritual liquid from the Money Guild, as a supply for long-distance void navigation.] [At the same time, you spent tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones to buy a treasure named "Void Compass."] [The Void Compass helps cultivators determine their position during void navigation, preventing them from getting lost in the void, making it an essential item for long-distance void travel...] [Apart from the Void Compass, you also bought formations and magical artifacts to reinforce the Immortal Boat, spending millions more high-grade spirit stones.] [After making all these preparations, you headed to the void node of the Tianyuan Realm, planning to go first to the nearby Spirit Beast Realm...] [Upon reaching the late Earth Immortal Realm, your void navigation speed increased by thirty percent, and three months later, you successfully arrived in the Spirit Beast Realm.] [The Spirit Beast Realm was only a dozen void nodes away from the Qingyun Realm, and in your heart, you were somewhat worried, knowing there was some risk of being sensed by Qing Yunzi.] Chapter 306 A Mighty Divine Power Demon Appears, Heaven Rank Spirit of the Void!【8k】 ``` A figure appeared behind you without making a sound. After recognizing the figure, your complexion changed drastically, the newcomer was none other than Qing Yunzi! At this moment, Qing Yunzi was wearing a black robe and seemed somewhat delirious... He revealed a strange smile, indicating that you were indeed a descendant of the Luo Tian Sect... It turned out that Qing Yunzi had discovered your trail as early as five years ago when you were in the Yin Wood Realm. He had been lurking by your side this whole time, watching you find the Luotian Legacy one after the other, until he finally confirmed your identity... Before you could even explain, Qing Yunzi performed a Soul Search on you... Your consciousness gradually faded... You died! Ding, this simulation has ended! Back in the real world, Su Xing gasped and muttered, "Qing Yunzi... a Daluo Golden Immortal, has been tracking me for years without me noticing?" "Simulation of the one hundred and seventieth year... and still, Qing Yunzi managed to find a clue!" Su Xing frowned slightly, never having imagined that Qing Yunzi too was so adept at concealment, and it seemed his Divine Sense was extremely powerful. Su Xing was in the Yin Wood Realm, tens of Void Nodes away from the Little Qingyun Realm... "So, was it a chance discovery... or is Qing Yunzi also extremely powerful in the Path of Divination and predicted my location?" Su Xing pondered. If Qing Yunzi''s Divine Sense could cover from the Qingyun Realm to the Yin Wood Realm, Su Xing wouldn''t believe it! Such Divine Sense, let alone a Semi-Saint, even a true Saint couldn''t achieve it! So, it was the result of Cause and Effect Divination... Strictly speaking, he was Qing Yunzi''s disciple and also carried the Spirit Field Cave given by Qing Yunzi. Combined, these two made it seem not so difficult for Qing Yunzi to find him... "Destroy my Cultivation Level... that would likely deal a major blow to my Vital Energy..." "But I might be able to create my own Spirit Field Cave... The Cave that Qing Yunzi gave me isn''t indispensable after all!" That was what Su Xing thought. Su Xing''s Spirit Field Cave was actually just an ordinary personal mini world, an Alternate Space. Creating such a space didn''t come from nothing, rather it required cutting a part out of the world to serve as one''s personal space. Therefore, the understanding of the Dao of Space required for such Cultivation is extremely high. With Su Xing''s beginner''s understanding of space, it was sufficient to create a personal space of about several dozen feet in circumference. But Mana... seemed to be lacking a bit... "Perfection in the Earth Immortal Realm... with my foundation, perhaps my Mana could barely be equivalent to the early stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm... then I could try giving up the Spirit Field Cave given by Qing Yunzi, which would not be easily detected by him..." But currently, the Spirit Field Cave was too important for Su Xing, impractical to just give up... He could only wait until later, after Su Xing had created his own Spirit Field Cave, to make new plans. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing thought so and then glanced at the simulation rewards. "This week, I am supposed to provide Lu Yuanwu with Elixirs as agreed upon..." In fact, as Su Xing had speculated. The location Qing Yunzi used to find him was largely through locking onto the Spirit Field Cave. [Yellow Earth Divine Body]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 points of Origin Energy Source. [Seventh Layer Earth Immortal Cultivation Level]: Mid-stage Earth Immortal Cultivator, after surviving disasters of Yin and Yang Fire, with thick Mana and a lifespan of twenty thousand years, priced at 90,000 points of Origin Energy Source.

During this simulation, apart from improving his Cultivation Level, Su Xing devoted most of his energy to the reforging of the Ink Ice Sword. From a mere Spiritual Artifact, Su Xing continuously improved its quality and materials, and nurtured it with Origin Force. It was finally through the Spirit Sword Stone that he elevated it to a half-step Acquired Treasure! "The Ink Ice Sword... is a must to take with me! With the reforged Ink Ice, even if I were to face a late-stage Heavenly Immortal Cultivator, I dare to fight..." Su Xing''s heart stirred, and he took out the Ink Ice Sword, curiously asking, "Why is the Ink Ice Sword priced at either 100,000 or 150,000 points of Origin Energy Source? One item, two prices?" Su Xing was puzzled, but the explanation from the Simulator came just in time. [Ding, if you wish to apply the reforging from the simulation directly onto the current Ink Ice Sword, the cost will be 100,000 points; to take out another complete Ink Ice Sword, you will need to spend 150,000 points of Origin Energy Source...] After hearing the Simulator''s prompt, Su Xing understood. "So, it''s about strengthening what''s already there!" Su Xing nodded slightly, looking at the Spirit Sword Mo Bing in his hand. He wasn''t a cultivator of the dual-sword style; one essential Spirit Artifact was sufficient. Besides, the extra 50,000 points of Origin Energy Source were not a small expense. Thus, Su Xing silently decided, "I choose the Seventh Layer Earth Immortal Cultivation Level... and the Ink Ice Sword at the level of 100,000 points..." As his words fell, the Simulator''s prompt sounded. [You have successfully brought out the Ink Ice Sword (Reforged) for 100,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving you with a remaining balance of 313,296 points...] [You have successfully brought out the Seventh Layer Earth Immortal Cultivation Level for 90,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving you with a remaining balance of 243,296 points...] Two mysterious energies, one after another, entered Su Xing''s body and the Ink Ice Sword in his hand. ``` Chapter 306 The Mighty Divine Power Demon Appears, Heaven Rank Great Void Spirit!【8k】_2 In an instant, Su Xing felt the Cultivation Mana within his body surge explosively, and the Ink Ice Sword in his hand also began to undergo violent changes. Earth Immortal Realm Fourth Rank... Earth Immortal Realm Fifth Rank... Earth Immortal Realm Sixth Rank! Su Xing''s Cultivation Level had broken through in one go to the Seventh Rank of the Earth Immortal Realm, making him a late-stage Earth Immortal Realm Cultivator! Moreover, his Cultivation Level stayed in the late-seventh rank of the Earth Immortal Realm, perhaps not far from the eighth... Su Xing took a long breath, feeling the immortal power raging inside him like a long river, and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad... my mana has increased by more than double compared to the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm!" After comprehending the changes in his mana, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the Spirit Sword Mo Bing in his hand. At this moment, the appearance of the Ink Ice Sword was vastly different from before. Originally, the Ink Ice Sword was a type of thin sword with a blade no more than three centimeters wide, but now the blade was about an inch and a half wide. The Sword Body was inky black, and the blade was extremely sharp. Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing only needed to hover his finger above the blade for his skin to feel a stinging sensation. "Tsks tsk... what a fine sword!" Su Xing nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, Mo Bing emitted a series of light hums, and a milky, loli voice entered Su Xing''s ears. "Master~ can you hear me?" Su Xing shuddered all over, looking at the Ink Ice Sword in his hand, an odd feeling rising in his heart. "What a cute... ahem, what a fine sword!" ... After leaving the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing headed to the location agreed upon with Lu Yuanwu. This week, Su Xing had agreed to provide Lu Yuanwu with Elixirs capable of creating Legendary Level warriors! As soon as Su Xing approached the mountain, he sensed Lu Yuanwu''s presence, and within a hundred miles around, Lu Yuanwu was the only one with such a strong Life aura. Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and then revealed himself. Lu Yuanwu had been waiting for a while and when he saw Su Xing appear, his heart leaped with joy, saying, "Elder! Does our previous discussion about the trade still stand?" "This... this is the ten thousand tons of Fourth-Rank Alien Metal I''ve brought for you... As for the rest of the Alien Metals, I need some time to gather them... I promise to give them to you within a month!" Hearing this, Su Xing took the storage ring and with a thought, it transformed into two hundred thousand Origin Energy Points! "Even with the resources of Great Xia Country, gathering a hundred thousand tons of Fourth-Rank Alien Metal... must take some time..." Su Xing thought to himself. He wasn''t in a hurry; the two million Origin Energy Points couldn''t run away. And since Su Xing was still some distance away from the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he wasn''t in a rush for the moment... So Su Xing asked, "Little Lu! You said before that there were quite a few Peak Martial Emperors among the upper echelons of Great Xia who wanted to advance... how is your preparation going?" Hearing Su Xing''s question, Lu Yuanwu promptly nodded and replied, "Including myself, a total of eleven Peak Martial Emperors seek a breakthrough... What do you think?" Lu Yuanwu felt tense inside; previously, Su Xing had mentioned ten, and now he was asking for eleven, wasn''t that being a bit too presumptuous? A drop of cold sweat slid down Lu Yuanwu''s forehead, fearing that he might upset the elder. But Su Xing didn''t mind; to him, the difference between ten or eleven Legendary warriors was negligible... He casually took out eleven bottles of Rebirth Pills, a total of 33, each of supreme quality. "Follow the process I gave you, each person takes one Rebirth Pill per month... After taking them, you might feel extremely irritable, but this side effect is only temporary..." "During the process, I need to supervise to ensure nothing goes wrong..." "After three consecutive months, after each of you has taken three pills, your strength and physical fitness should increase by at least 30%!" Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued, Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire "By then, when you carry out the tasks to advance, even if you step into Legendary Rank, I guarantee you won''t lose yourselves!" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Lu Yuanwu nodded eagerly, cautiously asking, "Elder, the other ten Great Xia high officials are waiting at an upscale hotel in Kyoto City... How about it, would you care to join us for a simple meal while overseeing our first dosage of the Elixirs?" Su Xing was well aware that supervising them taking the Elixirs was secondary; what Lu Yuanwu really desired was to strengthen their bond with Su Xing. But for now, Su Xing didn''t want to lay all his cards on the table with the Great Xia officials yet; it could involve too many complications... So Su Xing said, "I can supervise the taking of Elixirs... but there''s no need for a meal!" Hearing this, Lu Yuanwu''s expression tightened, and he dared not say more. Su Xing''s Divine Sense moved, covering a thousand miles like a tidal wave. He quickly discovered that in the north of Kyoto City, within a certain hotel, there were over ten formidable auras. "It''s the Red Star Hotel in the city, isn''t it? Come here..." Su Xing merely reached out and grabbed Lu Yuanwu''s arm, then the power of the Great Dao of Space activated... In the next instant, Su Xing and Lu Yuanwu''s figures traveled a thousand miles and arrived directly inside the Red Star Hotel in Kyoto City. In a private room, more than ten robust or muscular middle-aged men laughed and talked, seemingly waiting for something good. The next second, Su Xing appeared beside them, still holding Lu Yuanwu. "Everyone, be careful, it''s an attack!" "Who are you... how did you get here!" "You..." These battle-hardened generals reacted quickly, drawing their weapons and watching Su Xing with vigilance. Su Xing merely frowned slightly, put down Lu Yuanwu, and signaled with his eyes for him to explain... "Old Lu... what''s going on here?" "Old Lu, how did you all appear here?" "Old Lu... could this be the person you mentioned, the one in charge?" Chapter 306 Emergence of a Mighty Divine Power Demon, Heaven Rank Great Void Spirit!【8k】_3 A group of seasoned Martial Emperors widened their eyes, all talking at once. Lu Yuanwu, however, seemed as if he hadn''t clearly heard what they were saying, his heart tremendously shaken: Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Who am I? Where am I? Holy shit... how did I suddenly appear in the Red Star Hotel?" "This place... is a full thousand miles away from that mountain!" "Thousand miles... teleported directly? Hiss..." "Elder... what exactly is his Cultivation Level... could it really be that he''s a God?" Lu Yuanwu took a deep breath and it took him a long while to calm his emotions before he turned to the Martial Emperors beside him: "Old Wu, Old Liu... have you not met the elder?" "The elder''s visit this time is to help us break through to Legendary Level..." ... With Lu Yuanwu''s explanation, these Martial Emperors also became aware of Su Xing''s identity and looked at him with reverence. Su Xing then used a little trick to stabilize their agitated moods and eliminate the side effects of taking the Rebirth Pill. After all this, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave once more. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire This week, Su Xing was still repairing Divinity Transformation Puppets. As Su Xing''s puppet knowledge became more proficient, his repair work on the puppets was done with greater ease. The number of puppets obtained from the Spiritual Ancestral Land ranged from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Mahayana Realm. Su Xing planned to repair all these puppets and then dispatch them to various countries to provide a long-term Origin Energy Source for him. Time quickly arrived at November 18th, 2025 of the New Era, and Su Xing went to the villa to trade with Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue wore a pink long dress today, looking a bit haggard despite the dark color. Su Xing pointed to Jin Congxue''s small face and asked: "Sister Xue, what''s wrong with you these past few days? You seem to be a little preoccupied..." Jin Congxue replied with some sadness in her voice after hearing this: "Su Xing, do you think Sister is old?" Su Xing looked at Jin Congxue''s fair skin, pink cheeks, just like an eighteen-year-old girl, and quickly shook his head, saying: "Of course not! Heavenly King Level Profession Users have lifespans of hundreds of years... you''re not even thirty, how could you be old? You look like a sixteen-year-old girl to me!" Jin Congxue chuckled at his response but still said with some worry: "These past few days, I don''t know why... but several generals from the Great Xia Country have come to propose marriage to my Jin family, saying their descendants are excellent... it seems they want to arrange a marriage with the Jin family?" "And in their words, there is a lot of flattery towards my grandfather and the Jin family..." Upon hearing Jin Congxue''s words, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows, then quickly realized. Jin Congxue was being pressured into marriage! And it was that clichd clan marriage politics? As for the reason behind the attempted union... it was because of Lu Yuanwu''s rising star, with the Great Xia Country''s generals seeking to curry favor with the Jin family? Su Xing felt somewhat helpless; after going around in circles, it seemed the issue still involved him! There was no doubt about Su Xing''s identity as a "senior master," and his regular transactions with Lu Yuanwu. This meant that Lu Yuanwu''s status in the entire Great Xia Country was probably second only to the Human Emperor! Especially once Lu Yuanwu advanced to Legendary Level, bringing forth ten new Legendary powerhouses... Lu Yuanwu was likely to become one of the most sought-after figures in the entire Human Race! And consequently, Lu Yuanwu''s relatives naturally became targets of flattery. Even Jin Congxue became a target for other clans seeking to arrange marriages... However, Su Xing wasn''t worried that things would develop for the worse. If any cheesy clan marriage drama truly unfoldedSu Xing would intervene if necessary! To be honest, the trivial squabbles of those Martial Emperor or "Legendary Level" strongmen were hardly a concern for Su Xing. Thus, Su Xing asked with some curiosity: "Sister Xue... what did you say then?" Jin Congxue blushed slightly, stealing a glance at Su Xing, and said matter-of-factly: "Well, I said! Now that I''m a Heavenly King Level Profession User with a lifespan of five hundred years... and I''m only thirty this year, which is equivalent to a six-year-old girl to a normal person!" "You can''t force a six-year-old girl into a marriage, right? Heh heh... so we''ll have to wait until I''m of age... which is to say, sixty years from now!" Jin Congxue smiled playfully, feeling somewhat smug in her heart. Right now, Jin Congxue was thinking: Although Su Xing didn''t have high strength, in sixty years, he would surely become a Martial Emperor Level big shot, right? Then, she could bring Su Xing back to meet her parents... As for Su Xing, looking at the waves cresting at Jin Congxue''s chest, he thought... Ah, this size, six years old? Yeah right! ... After bidding farewell to Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave, ready to start a new round of simulations. This week, Su Xing obtained 220,000 Origin Energy Source from Lu Yuanwu, plus over 30,000 more from the Tarot Commerce Association. Altogether, he had gained over 250,000 Origin Energy Sources! Taking advantage of the simulation time not having cooled down yet, Su Xing was planning this round of simulation. "My Cultivation Realm has already improved to the late Earth Immortal Realm... it shouldn''t be difficult to break through to the perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm in one go!" "Besides, I must find a way to enhance my Divine Sense and Dao Comprehension as well..." Since becoming an Immortal, Su Xing''s Divine Sense hadn''t been cultivated further. To put it dramatically, Su Xing''s ten-thousand-mile Divine Sense was even inferior to most cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm... And to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, one must endure the Three Disasters of Immortals! The Three Disasters of Wind, Fire, and Thunder! Among them, the Yin and Yang disaster had already been successfully passed by Su Xing... Next up would be the Thunder Disaster! "The Heart-Breaking Thunder! This is a disaster that strikes directly at the Cultivator''s Divine Soul... if the Divine Soul, the strength of the Divine Sense is not enough, there is even a risk of complete annihilation!" "But once the Heart-Breaking Thunder is passed, not only will one''s foundation and Divine Soul grow further... but the Mana will also increase!" Chapter 306 The Mighty Divine Power Demon Appears, Heaven Rank Great Void Spirit!【8k】_4 "So, the growth of Divine Sense also needs to be scheduled now!" Su Xing murmured. Practicing Zhengyi Submission Decision, apart from the solstice days, only required spending one hour on Qi Refinement each day. The rest of the time, Su Xing could use to hone his Divine Sense... Perfect for elevating the Divine Sense Realm! Su Xing pondered for a moment, his gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. "Begin simulation!" [Simulation No. 113 initiated, remaining Origin Energy Source points are 498,796... remaining simulation attempts are unlimited.] [Simulation started!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, proceed with extraction?] Su Xing did not hesitate, he silently thought: "Yes!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent, Earth and Wood Specialist, next Golden Talent extraction probability is seventy percent...] [Earth and Wood Specialist]: Purple Talent, your sensitivity to earth and wood attribute Spiritual Energy is beyond ordinary, allowing you to more swiftly comprehend The Great Dao of Earth and The Great Dao of Wood. Seeing the newly extracted talent, Su Xing raised a mocking eyebrow and commented: "Oh boy... when will there be an Earth and Wood Sacred Body, the Earth and Wood guy would be ecstatic?" Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation...] [Ten days later, you visited the Luo Tian Instance...] [After leaving the Luo Tian Instance, you returned to the Spirit Field Cave.] [Aside from practicing Qi Refinement, you began to venture spiritually into the Great Void...] [After your Divine Sense entered the Divine Sense Realm of Six Senses, the strength of your Divine Soul improved significantly, making your traveling speed in the Great Void surprisingly fast.] [You madly searched for Spirit Voids in the Great Void, continuously devouring them, increasing your Divine Sense...] [Thus, ten years passed...] [In the tenth year, your Divine Sense expanded to twelve thousand li.] [During this time you devoured dozens of earth-rank Spirit Voids, yet you still hadn''t found a trace of a heaven-rank Spirit Void...] [In the fifteenth year, your Cultivation Level advanced to the Seventh Layer Peak of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [You began attempting to break through to the eighth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm...] [In the eighteenth year, your first breakthrough attempt failed, yet you did not lose heart, continuing to accumulate your foundation; aside from practicing Zhengyi Submission Decision, your Divine Sense also grew day by day...] Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire [In the twentieth year, your Divine Sense expanded to fourteen thousand one hundred li...] [In the twenty-fifth year, you launched your second attack on the eighth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [This time, you succeeded, congratulations on becoming an cultivator of the eighth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm!] [That year, your scope of Divine Sense expanded to fifteen thousand li...] Back in the real world, Su Xing''s mouth couldn''t help but curve upwards. Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "After reaching the Immortal Realm... the enhancement of Divine Sense is much faster than before!" Su Xing murmured, nodding in satisfaction. The reason his Divine Sense had grown so rapidly was naturally due to his improvement in Cultivation Realm and the explosive growth after his Divine Sense reached the Divine Sense Realm of Six Senses! Typically speaking, at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm, the range of Divine Sense should be around thirty thousand li. For the Earth Immortal Realm, it is sixty thousand li... Once Divine Sense in the Immortal Realm entered the Six Senses Realm, its growth was naturally much faster than before, yet not as rapid as Su Xing''s. Even those who specialized in cultivating Divine Sense would need at least a thousand years to increase their Divine Sense by five thousand li. But Su Xing took only twenty-five years to increase by five thousand li. On average... he increased his Divine Sense by two hundred li every year! The fast pace of growth was naturally due to the unique aspect of the Great Void in Blue Star. Blue Star was once a part of the vast Luo Tian Great Realm; its Great Void had a long heritage, unexplored by cultivators for several epochs. In the vast expanse of the Great Void, the quantity of Void Spirits was extremely abundant, unclaimed by other cultivators. Few monks, plenty of porridge; naturally benefiting Su Xing... "Goodness, at this rate, it won''t be long before my Divine Sense reaches the limit of the Earth Immortal Realm!" Su Xing smacked his lips. "However, such high-speed growth of Divine Sense... can only be achieved on Blue Star, it seems this simulation should stay on Blue Star as much as possible..." Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [In the twenty-eighth year, the Demon Saint descended...] [You went to the Demon-Subduing Pass, guarding it for five years, ultimately the Demon Saint retreated...] [Thus, more than ten years passed...] [In the fortieth year, you ventured spiritually into the Great Void, your scope of Divine Sense expanded to nineteen thousand li...] [Over these decades, you swallowed countless Xuanhuang and earth-rank Spirit Voids, yet you still hadn''t encountered a trace of a heaven-rank Spirit Void...] [You did not give up, continuing your search.] [You decided to try and see just how vast the Great Void was...] [Therefore, you chose to head north, wanting to reach the edge of the Great Void...] [In the forty-fifth year, your Cultivation Level advanced to the mid-stage of the eighth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm!] [That same year, a lower-ranked deity wielding Divine Power attacked, you secretly took action and killed it...] [In the fiftieth year, your Divine Sense expanded to twenty-one thousand li...] [Your Divine Sense constantly wandered the Great Void, covering countless distances.] [For a full ten years, your Divine Soul drifted northwards, seeing only desolation, fortunately, the number of Void Spirits you devoured did not decrease, your Divine Sense grew stronger and stronger...] [In the fifty-third year, heading north, you gradually noticed changes in the Great Void...] [In the Great Void, it was still desolate, but the number of Spirit Voids you encountered seemed to increase.] [That year, you devoured several earth-rank Spirit Voids, your Divine Sense expanded to twenty-two thousand li...] [You felt elated by this, and your heart held some anticipation... indeed, the Great Void also wasn''t unchanging!] [In your conjecture, the Great Void may also have a Core Area... and the number of Spirit Voids in the Core Area might be more numerous, with higher ranks, more suitable for you to devour and grow your Divine Sense!] Chapter 306 The Appearance of a Powerful Divine Power Demon, Heaven Rank Spirit of the Void!【8k】_5 ``` [Thus, you gather all your willpower, and your Divine Sense races toward the north...] ``` Back in the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this. "In the Great Void Realm...there''s a core area too?" "Perhaps the Heaven Rank Great Void Spirits, which have never appeared before, exist in the core area!" Su Xing''s heart thumped with excitement, filled with anticipation. A Heaven Rank Great Void Spirit, if devoured, would certainly provide significant growth to Divine Sense! More importantly, Heaven Rank Great Void Spirits could possibly birth Divine Consciousness secret techniques from the Ancient Era! Currently, the Any-Wish Golden Cauldron technique mastered by Su Xing is just barely sufficient, but is far from profound. "It would be wonderful to get a hold of an Ancient Era Divine Consciousness secret technique... Moreover, the techniques manifested by Heaven Rank Great Void Spirits must definitely suit the cultivator''s own attributes!" Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing murmured to himself, but then he became a bit worried. "The next round of invasion by the Foreign Race on Blue Star is coming soon... I wonder if we can hold them off, or if I should explore the Great Void Realm as soon as possible!" His gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [You wander through the Great Void, and two more years pass, as you approach closer to the core area of the Great Void Realm, the rank of the surrounding Great Void Spirits grows higher...] [But even Earth Rank Great Void Spirits can be easily handled by you...] [In the fifty-fifth year, your Divine Sense has extended to twenty-three thousand miles...] [As such, three more years pass, and the number of Great Void Spirits you''ve consumed grows...] [In the fifty-eighth year, your Divine Sense has grown to twenty-five thousand miles!] [That same year, you perform a Divination and foresee major calamity for Demon-Subduing Pass...] [Therefore, without calculating the strength of the Foreign Race coming to attack, you discover that while you were in danger, it wouldn''t be fatal...] [After some thought, you decide to continue staying within Blue Star!] [Several months later, a creature as vast as the sky and as dreadful as a demon appeared in Demon-Subduing Pass!] [With just one glance, you recognize that this demon from the Foreign Race is the same one that appeared in America during the apocalypse long ago!] [At this moment, you finally understand his strength... a powerful Divine Force from the Foreign Race!] [Equivalent to a cultivator in the mid-Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [For a mid-Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator, even you must face the battle with utmost caution...] [You defend Demon-Subduing Pass for several months, engaging in a fierce battle with this powerful Divine Force Foreign Race deity for seven days and nights...] [In the end, by employing your "Unethical in Martial Conduct" talent, you surprise it with a sneak attack, combined with three thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura, and successfully slay it!] [After killing this demon deity, you also obtain his Divinity and divine authority...] [This demon from the Foreign Race seems to possess some authority over slaughter and blood...] [Correspondingly, it is among the cultivators, the Dao of Slaughter Principles!] [You are not too interested in the Dao of Slaughter, thus you choose not to assimilate it...] [But for some reason, ever since you killed this demon deity of the Foreign Race, you feel an additional gaze upon you...] [You are unaware of where this gaze originates from, but can only be even more cautious.] Back in the real world, Su Xing frowns slightly at this. "A powerful Divine Force demon of the Foreign Race... the same one that attacked America before... Is it directed here to target me this time?" Su Xing frowns slightly, clearly, the strength he displayed in this simulation might have exceeded the Foreign Race''s expectations. A "Profession User" with the strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm appearing on Blue Star, even the Foreign Race would have to take serious notice! Su Xing has a premonition, after killing this demon deity, the Foreign Race might react impulsively... using a fearful cost to destroy Blue Star! Moreover, the Foreign Race might suspect that a descendant of Luo Tian has appeared! "And that gazeis it from the Red Moon? Or other Foreign Race deities?" Su Xing has no idea. But he knows, he must hasten his exploration of the Great Void Realm, and leave Blue Star as soon as possible. Otherwise, even he would face great danger! With that thought, Su Xing''s gaze returns to the Simulation Panel. [Thus, in the following time, you accelerate the speed of your wanderings through the Great Void...] [As such, years pass by again...] Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire [In the sixty-third year, your Divine Sense grows to twenty-seven thousand miles within that year!] [You are getting closer and closer to the core area of the Great Void Realm.] [After an unknown amount of time... you finally encounter an extraordinary Great Void Spirit!] [This Great Void Spirit is bathed in a golden light and appears to possess extreme intelligence... its stature towers a hundred zhang high!] [With such a terrifying size and traits, you deduce in your heart, this must be the Heaven Rank Great Void Spirit you have been searching for!] Chapter 307 Opening a Minor World, Earth Immortal Realm Perfection!

Your greatest offensive method was the Divine Sense Attack Technique the Wishful Golden Cauldron Method!] [As for the Heaven Rank Greater Void Spirit, it was naturally extraordinary, with a powerful Divine Soul and a Gold Cultivation Technique that would stab at your Divine Sense like a sword to the throat, causing you great discomfort...] [Even so, you continued to fight against it relentlessly, chasing and battling, but the spiritual intelligence of the Greater Void Spirit ultimately couldn''t compare with that of Cultivator Immortals.] [Although the Heaven Rank Greater Void Spirit was powerful, its Divine Soul strength was only about twenty thousand miles, just entering the Six Senses Realm, still inferior to you...] [In the end, with your astonishing perseverance, you slew this Heaven Rank Greater Void Spirit!] [After slaying the Heaven Rank Greater Void Spirit, a golden light surged into your Divine Soul...] [In just a moment, the strength of your Divine Soul surged by a small margin, from twenty-seven thousand miles to a full thirty thousand miles!] [What thrilled you even more was that you obtained a fragment of a Divine Sense Attack Technique!] [This technique was named, the Greater Void Sword Decree!] [It involved condensing one''s Divine Sense into a small golden sword, unparalleled in attack, and easily capable of severely injuring the Divine Sense of a cultivator of the same rank!] [You were ecstatic and quickly absorbed and comprehended it, but to your disappointment, this fragment was only one-third of the complete technique...] [What you have obtained was the middle part, still lacking the beginning and end, only by collecting all could you obtain the complete Greater Void Sword Decree!] Back in the real world, Su Xing was thrilled at this development. "The Greater Void Sword Decree... This is definitely an extremely powerful Divine Sense Attack Technique! It''s probably far superior to the previous Wishful Golden Cauldron Method! If I can learn it, not only will I be powerful in the Great Void Realm, but there will also be numerous benefits in the simulation!" A powerful Divine Sense Attack Technique would allow Su Xing to kill Greater Void Spirits faster and accumulate more Divine Sense strength. Moreover, the Divine Sense Attack Technique is also extremely important for cultivators! Su Xing had heard of a class of cultivators who specialized in Divine Soul, with powerful Divine Senses, often more than double that of cultivators of the same realm! With their Divine Sense Attack Technique, they could easily damage an opponent''s Divine Soul during battle. Once a cultivator''s Divine Soul is injured, their combat power naturally diminishes greatly, and engaging them in battle afterward gives a huge advantage! sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even against some cultivators who don''t cultivate the Divine Soul, those who specialize in Divine Sense can directly obliterate the target''s Divine Soul, annihilating it and leaving no chance for reincarnation. Although Su Xing was not primarily cultivating his Divine Soul, having the Divine Soul Cultivation Technique provided extra self-protection against Divine Soul cultivators. And in crucial moments, it could also be Su Xing''s trump card! "It''s just a pity... this simulation probably won''t allow me to fully collect the Greater Void Sword Decree..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, the simulation was in its sixty-third year, and he was still on Blue Star, perhaps the Red Moon and the Foreign Race had already taken notice of him. Now, it was time to head to the Three Thousand Worlds! "It''s a pity, after heading to the Three Thousand Worlds, the growth of my Divine Sense won''t be as rapid..." "However... by delaying the Foreign Race''s destruction of Blue Star... could it be that the demise of the Little Qingyun Realm will also be postponed?" Su Xing pondered, his gaze returning to the Simulation Panel.

But the Cultivators of the Little Qingyun Realm were formidable, so they could still hold their ground.] In the real world, Su Xing furrowed his Mei brows, murmuring: "In the eightieth year, the Red-eyed Foreign Race emerged... This suggests that the previous resistance in Blue Star indeed had an effect, delaying the revival of the Red Moon..." Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire "As for this simulation, the time Blue Star was destroyed should have been around the sixty-fifth year..." Su Xing stroked his chin; this was undoubtedly good news for him. "However, my main focus should still be on cultivation, to set off on the journey to the Tianyuan Realm as soon as possible!" Su Xing thought thus, his gaze turning towards the Simulation Panel. [In the ninetieth year, your Cultivation Level advanced to the Peak of the eighth stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, and you began to attempt a breakthrough.] [This breakthrough took you three years, and your Cultivation Level smoothly advanced to the ninth stage of the Earth Immortal Realm!] [That same year, your Divine Sense grew to thirty-four thousand miles...] [You sold many Immortal Treasures that you had previously refined and continued to purchase Spiritual Liquid for cultivation...] [In the one hundred and fifth year, your Cultivation Level advanced to the middle phase of the ninth stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.] [In the one hundred and twentieth year, your Cultivation Level advanced to the late phase of the ninth stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, and that same year, your Divine Sense scope expanded to forty thousand miles!] [After advancing to the late phase of the Earth Immortal Realm, you decided to temporarily set aside your cultivation and instead find a way to establish your own Spirit Field Cave.] [Most True Immortals and those above have their own Blessed Lands, which can vary greatly in size. However, the Spirit Field Cave you possess, having been gifted by Qing Yunzi, posed some potential risks.] [Therefore, you went to the Money Guild to purchase materials needed to establish your own Spirit Field Cave...] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly, murmuring: "A Spirit Field Cave is, strictly speaking, merely a portable cave... It can be established once one reaches the True Immortal Realm, but it has strict requirements for mastery of the Great Dao of Space..." "I have just begun to glimpse into the path of the Great Dao of Space, which is sufficient to establish a Spirit Field Cave, but my Cultivation Level is lacking, necessitating the use of some materials!" Su Xing recalled in his mind that to establish a portable cave, the three most precious materials needed were: Space Origin Stone, Space Spirit Stone, and Void Stone... He possessed Space Spirit Stone and Void Stone, obtained from The Void, so no need to make purchases. But the Space Origin Stone was the foundation for a portable cave, derived from the spaces within a world... Mighty Cultivators could sever space with their formidable power, causing a part of space to collapse and compress... The product of this collapse and compression was the Space Origin Stone! A space of several hundred zhang compressed could result in a Space Origin Stone the size of a fingernail, and its price was prohibitively expensive! Amounting to tens of millions of High-grade Spirit Stones... A Space Origin Stone was used to open up space, a Void Stone to maintain distance between the portable space and The Void, and a Space Spirit Stone to ensure the stability of the space; missing any one of these was not an option. "Space Origin Stones are pricey... but the greater the initial investment in a Space Origin Stone, the higher the growth potential!" Su Xing murmured, wanting to purchase a considerable Space Origin Stone to open up enough space to completely replace the current Spirit Field Cave, thus disrupting Qing Yunzi''s search for it. Thinking like this, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [You went to the Money Guild to purchase a Space Origin Stone.] [After exhibiting the Cultivation Level of a Body Refinement Heavenly Immortal, you were ushered into the VIP room, where you were greeted by Zier, the vice-chairperson of the Money Guild.] [She informed you that Space Origin Stones were extremely expensive and rare, and currently, the Cangwu Realm branch of the Money Guild had only three Space Origin Stones.] [The first Space Origin Stone was the size of a fingernail, and Zier informed you that the price was 8.88 million High-grade Spirit Stones.] [The second Space Origin Stone, the size of half a fist, was priced at 99.99 million High-grade Spirit Stones.] [The third Space Origin Stone, the size of a fist, was priced at three billion High-grade Spirit Stones, and the buyer''s Cultivation Level had to reach the True Immortal Realm!] [Although you were interested in purchasing the largest Space Origin Stone, both your Cultivation Level and the Spirit Stones you possessed were slightly insufficient, so you had to settle for the second choice, acquiring the half-fist-sized Space Origin Stone!] ``` Chapter 307 Creating a Small World, Earth Immortal Realm Perfection! 【8k】_3 ``` "You didn''t have hundreds of millions of spirit stones in cash on you, so you paid thirty million high-grade spirit stones, and the rest was replaced with Gathering Spirit Flowers and Immortal Treasures." "Finally, you purchased the Space Origin Stone." "Next, you spent ten years raising your Cultivation Level to the ninefold peak of the Earth Immortal Realm..." "In the one hundred and thirtieth year, you attempted to break through to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm." "But the first breakthrough, unsurprisingly, failed..." "You sighed in your heart but decided to leave the Cangwu Realm temporarily and head to a more distant place to evade Qing Yunzi''s pursuit." "This time, you didn''t choose to pass through the beast realm but decided to forcibly cross through thirteen void nodes to directly reach the Tianyin Realm!" "This was undoubtedly a huge challenge for you." "Although risky, it was the result of deep contemplation..." "Opening a personal Cave needs to be done within The Void, taking at least one and a half years, and at most, tens of years..." "And during this period, you planned to first open your own Spirit Field Cave, then cut off the Spirit Field Cave given by Qing Yunzi to reduce cause and effect..." "Thus, several months have passed." "You maneuvered the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, found a relatively stable area within The Void, and stayed there." "Next, you left the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, raised your Protective Gang Qi, and stilled your physical body in The Void." "Reaching the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refinement Technique, your pure physical body could now stay in The Void for long periods, surviving up to a year or even longer!" "However, staying in The Void for long periods without accessing Spiritual Energy could easily cause Mana decay and a drop in realm." "More worrying for you was the attack of void turbulence..." "Fortunately, with your profound understanding of the Great Dao of Space and ample confidence, you could stay in The Void for over half a year." "You chose a relatively safe area in The Void, took out the Space Origin Stone, and crushed it!" "In just an instant, the crushed Space Origin Stone expanded like a singularity, wildly compressing the surrounding space." "Streams of golden purple light appeared in The Void, creating waves like brilliant meteors..."

"Soon, three months passed, and a separate space appeared in front of you, like a half-plane, different from The Void, a separate alternate space..." "This piece of space was about thirty feet in size, far smaller than the Spirit Field Cave given by Qing Yunzi." "But you were very satisfied because this cave would truly belong to you, without any marks." "You closely observed this cave, thinking about how to take it over, but to your surprise, you discovered a core within this space." "You approached this core the size of a singularity, and inscribed your own Divine Sense mark on it." "Then, just like the Spirit Field Cave, this space could be carried with you, and you could enter it at any time." "This undoubtedly made you very satisfied..." "But in this newly opened space, there was no Immortal Power or even soil..." "You used the power of the space to move a mountaintop from the previous Spirit Field Cave into the new space." "Then you moved the Spirit Vein Dragon, some Spirit Fields, and Exotic Treasures and Herbs into it..." "Gradually, this space began to generate Spiritual Energy..." "This exhilarated you, so over the next ten years, you continuously expanded the new cave''s space and filled it with various necessities..." "Even with your Physical Body, it was hard to stay in The Void for three years; whenever you felt you couldn''t hold on, you temporarily entered the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, and after recovery, you continued the expansion." "Space Spirit Stones and Void Stones were also refined into it, continuously expanding the new portable space''s size..." "In the one hundred and fortieth year, a brand-new portable Blessed Land appeared beside you!" "This was a cave completely opened by you alone, marked with your own Divine Sense!" "This cave was only fifty feet in size, and the space inside was much smaller than the previous Spirit Field Cave, but you were extremely satisfied." "At least the Spirit Vein Dragon could live stably inside, and various Spirit Plants could also grow smoothly..." "The only downside was that the scenario''s Spiritual Energy temporarily remained at the Blessed Land Level and needed some time before it could recover back to the High-grade Cave..." "But you were already very pleased, and thus, you activated the power of the space and completely detonated and destroyed the previous Spirit Field Cave..." "The Spirit Field Cave burst like fireworks in The Void, radiating brilliant colors." "And with it, you felt part of your cause and effect with Qing Yunzi was severed..." "From now on, your portable Blessed Land would completely belong to you; you could freely open and expand its range, even creating a world entirely your own!" "Most crucially, Qing Yunzi lost the coordinates to the portable Spirit Field, considerably affecting his pursuit of you..." In the real world, Su Xing looked somewhat exhilarated. "So, the process of opening up a personal world... turns out to be like this!" Su Xing felt he had greatly increased his knowledge and, most importantly, had severed part of the cause and effect with Qing Yunzi. "I''ve heard that some powerful cultivators have created worlds similar to real Minor Thousand Worlds... where living beings are thriving, and the sunrise and sunset are no different from the ordinary world!"

Thinking this way, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [After creating a new portable Blessed Land, you hurried toward the Tianyuan Realm.] [After crossing several Void Nodes again, you successfully arrived at the Tianyuan Realm...] [You stayed in the Tianyuan Realm for a year to rest and recuperate, during which you constantly observed your surroundings to see if Qing Yunzi was following you, but you found nothing.] [In the one hundred and forty-second year, you drove the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and arrived at the Yin Wood Realm.] [You successfully obtained the Luotian Legacy hidden in the Yin Wood Realm, and then you stayed in this realm to cultivate, aiming to make a concerted effort to break through to a higher Cultivation Realm!] [In the one hundred and forty-fifth year, one day, as if blessed by fortune, you felt signs of a breakthrough in your realm.] [So, you prepared one million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid and consumed it all like a vortex, ready for a bold attempt to break through to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm!] [This sprint, another five years went by...] [Just when you thought you might fail for the second time, a stream of pure Spiritual Energy burst forth from the Spirit Vein Dragon.] [You immediately felt abundant with immortal power and in excellent condition... in one last effort, you completed the breakthrough!] [Congratulations, you''ve become a Cultivator of the Great Perfection in the Earth Immortal Realm!] [After the breakthrough to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm, you felt satisfied and drove the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat toward your next destination, the Dongsheng Realm.] [In the one hundred fifty-first year, you arrived at the Dongsheng Realm, seeking the legacy of the Luo Tian Sect hidden here.] [You cautiously entered a Secret Realm and extracted the Luotian Sect Legacy from within.] [Fortunately, it seemed that Qing Yunzi had not followed you this time.] [You left the Secret Realm satisfied after finding some of the Luotian Sect''s heritage, a huge amount of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Liquid...] [You didn''t stay much longer in the Dongsheng Realm; after a brief rest for half a year and repairing the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, you headed for the next world.] [So, four years went by, and you crossed through several Minor Thousand Worlds, eventually arriving at a world called the Proud Cloud Realm.] [In the one hundred fifty-fifth year, you found the Luotian Legacy within the Proud Cloud Realm, hidden inside a Secret Realm.] [At this point, your vigilance had reached its peak because in the previous simulation, Qing Yunzi had discovered you right here.] [You cautiously made your way to the Secret Realm, seeking the Luotian Sect heritage...] [You smoothly obtained a portion of the Luotian Sect Legacy, along with a large amount of Spirit Stones, and then you left the Secret Realm...] [Qing Yunzi did not appear; it seemed that he had truly lost track of you and had not sensed your location.] [You let out a slight sigh of relief and then steered the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat toward your next target location, the Yellow Water Realm!] S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"The Yellow Water Realm, it''s not far from the Tianyuan Realm now... After Yellow Water Realm, the next coordinate is Yellow Sky Realm, which is a Middle Thousand World, and also an important stop before reaching the Tianyuan Realm. It, too, harbors part of the Luotian Sect Legacy..." When Su Xing initially chose his route, he tried to cover as many of the world coordinates where Luotian Legacies were buried as possible. Besides fleeing, Su Xing also wanted to see how much he could recover from the Luotian Legacies... It would also facilitate his cultivation after reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm... "I wonder if the Luotian Sect Legacy in the Yellow Water Realm is still there?" Su Xing pondered thoughtfully. According to what he could see so far, a single Luotian Legacy contained between five and thirty million High-grade Spirit Stones, and countless Cultivation Techniques and Supernatural Powers. But what excited Su Xing the most was the Spiritual Liquid within! Each legacy contained between three million and ten million drops of Spiritual Liquid. If Su Xing could find about a dozen legacies, that would be nearly a hundred million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid! With such an amount, Su Xing''s cultivation after reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm would likely be satisfied for the most part... "First, find the Luotian Legacy, then quickly reach the Tianyuan Realm!" After setting his goal, Su Xing''s eyes returned to the Simulation Panel. [You spent a few months in the Yellow Water Realm and, with quite a bit of luck, found part of the Luotian Sect Legacy, obtaining five million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid.] [Pleased with your haul, you then drove the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat toward the next destination...] [Thus, you crossed through more than a dozen Void Nodes and after stopping in two Minor Thousand Worlds, you smoothly reached the Middle Thousand World, the Yellow Sky Realm!] [In the one hundred sixty-eighth year, after half a year of rest in the Yellow Sky Realm, your Mana was fully restored.] Chapter 307 Opening a Small World, Earth Immortal Realm Perfection!【8k】_5 ``` [But what weighs heavily on your mind is that the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat... is barely holding together!] [The Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, after all, is only a half-step Acquired Treasure and has not reached the true level of an Acquired Treasure!] [Moreover, your Cultivation Level is only at the Earth Immortal Realm, and your mana is insufficient to protect the entire Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat...] [More importantly, over the decades of continuous travel, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat has passed through more than a hundred Void Nodes, and the keel of the Immortal Boat is nearly shattered...] [Even with your artifact-refining Grandmaster skills, it is difficult to completely repair it. You can only set up multiple repair and protection formations to prolong its life, hoping to smoothly arrive at the Tianyuan Realm.] [In the 169th year, you were in the Yellow Sky Realm, searching for traces of the Luotian Legacy.] [Thus, another three years passed...] [In the 172nd year, you successfully found a Secret Realm, where a relatively intact Luotian Legacy was preserved!] [You gained a full ten million drops of High-Grade Spiritual Liquid, what excites you more is... you obtained a Jade Slip, which seems to contain messages from the Ancient Witch Tribe...] Back in the real world, Su Xing''s heart stirred. "Luo Tian Sect and the Ancient Witch Tribe have deep connections... Could this inheritance contain some important information?" Su Xing stroked his chin, thinking that he just needed to know the exact locations of these Luotian Legacies. Moreover, he had not yet consumed the Spirit Awakening Pill, and in this simulation, Su Xing could continue to contemplate the Dao of Causality and Destiny. Thinking this, Su Xing silently uttered, "Use immersive simulation, duration one hundred days..." [Ding...] Soon Su Xing appeared in the simulated world, and without rushing to consume the Spirit Awakening Pill, he first began to recall the messages he left in this simulation. Including some changes in Qingyun Realm and Three Thousand Worlds, as well as the detailed addresses of the Luotian Legacies, which Su Xing cared about deeply... After Su Xing memorized all this, he took out a Jade Slip and began reading the messages it contained. ... A moment later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of unusual color briefly appeared. "Ancient Witch Tribe... The messages left in this Jade Slip are actually related to the Star Witch?" Su Xing felt his luck was incredibly good. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This Jade Slip recorded a piece of history unknown to the public, known only to descendants of the Witch Tribe. According to the descendants, a significant reason the Star Witch broke away from the Witch Tribe was due to instigation by external forces. Which forces these were, Su Xing did not know. But what he knew was that after the Star Witch left the Witch Tribe, the strength of the entire tribe declined. After all, the Star Witch was the only clan in the Witch Tribe that possessed Great Wisdom. Without the Star Witch, the Witch Tribe was like a body without a thinking brain, just a group of brutes... What excited Su Xing more, however, was that this Jade Slip recorded two secret divination techniques taken by the Star Witch. The Great Celestial Observation Method and the Minor Celestial Observation Method! It was said that if one could master both techniques, one could observe the fate of life and death, examine a clan, a world... even the fate of the entire Three Thousand Worlds! "Great Celestial Observation Method... definitely was taken by the Star Witch, so it''s very likely still somewhere within the Star Realm?" Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire "Maybe... there will be a chance to search for it later!" Thinking this, Su Xing took out the Minor Celestial Observation Method he had organized and began to study. He took the Spirit Awakening Pill and activated the Great Wisdom State boost. Su Xing''s one hundred days of immersive simulation was equivalent to about twelve years of arduous study! However, after twelve years of hard study, Su Xing still had not mastered the Minor Celestial Observation Method, having only learned some superficial aspects. "Tsk tsk... Just some superficial knowledge, yet I feel immensely enlightened!" Su Xing smacked his lips, feeling that the Minor Celestial Observation Method was several levels higher than the previous Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique... After returning to the real world, Su Xing''s gaze turned toward the Simulation Panel. "Next, let''s make a push and reach the Tianyuan Realm!" [During the hundred days of retreat, you made slight progress in the Minor Celestial Observation Method...] [But you still haven''t mastered it.] [This year, your Divine Sense grew to 46,000 li.] [You repaired the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat a bit, and piloted it through several Void Nodes, heading in the direction of the final destination, the Tianyuan Realm...] ``` Chapter 308 Cultivators Alliance Established, Gold Talent Yi Wood Divine Body!

I''ve finally arrived at the Tianyuan Realm!" Su Xing recalled the intelligence and situation of the Tianyuan Realm in his mind. Tianyuan Realm, one of the few Great Thousand Worlds among the Three Thousand Worlds, had a vast and boundless territory and was home to many major powers! Not just the White Emperor Tower, Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Money Guildthese neutral powers had set up important branches in the Tianyuan Realm. The realm also boasted an extremely powerful sect, the Tianyuan Sect! Though the Tianyuan Sect wasn''t as powerful as the Qingyun Sect, and definitely not as dominant as the Luo Tian Sect once in its control over the Three Thousand Worlds, it was still a top sect in the Three Thousand Worlds. Though the sect had no Daluo Golden Immortals, it had several veteran Taiyi Golden Immortals, making it a force not to be underestimated.

"Tianyuan Realm is far from the Little Qingyun Realm... and it is the territory of the Tianyuan Sect, I wonder if Qing Yunzi would be wary." "If neutral organizations like the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, White Emperor Tower, and Money Guild can establish branches in the Tianyuan Realm, the Qingyun Sect definitely has no power there..." Su Xing took a deep breath; he decided to first gather intelligence about the Three Thousand Worlds, understand the situation in the Tianyuan Realm, and then find a secluded place to focus on cultivation. He looked at the Simulation Panel. [Tianyuan Realm was boundless, and your arrival point was in the northwestern area of the Tianyuan Realm.] [The most prosperous city within the Tianyuan Realm was Tianyuan City, located at the foot of the Tianyuan Sect. Its size was comparable to that of a nation, inhabited by countless cultivators with high cultivation levels, situated in the central area of the Tianyuan Realm.] [You decide to head towards Tianyuan City, where all the major powers have set up important branches...] [At this moment, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat was damaged, and you found it difficult to navigate it to the Tianyuan Realm.] [From your location to the center of the Tianyuan Realm was more than a billion miles...

"Heartbreaking Thunder not only tests the strength of the Divine Soul... but also requires the help of elixirs to ensure safe Tribulation Crossing, otherwise the Divine Soul could be completely destroyed..." "However, compared to the assistance of Thunder Avoiding Pills... I have a better plan! That is... to improve the Great Dao of Thunder and the Heavenly Thunder Physique!" Su Xing thought to himself. He had previously advanced his Heavenly Thunder Physique to the second stage, and the Great Dao of Thunder had also successfully broken into the nascent stage of the Great Dao. If Su Xing had enough control over thunder, passing the Heartbreaking Thunder would naturally pose no danger! "So next... it''s time to enhance the Great Dao of Thunder!" Su Xing murmured to himself; he knew ways to achieve the Heavenly Thunder Physique, besides enduring Heavenly Tribulations, was in the belly of the great beast. "Considering... it''s been a long time since I last went to check out the belly of the great beast... with my current strength, could I cultivate there for an extended period?"

"With the White Emperor Tower leading and uniting the Human Race''s Loose Cultivators to resist the Foreign Race... and with the financial support from the Money Guild, perhaps we truly could fight the Foreign Race!" "As for the Heavenly Demon Prison, it has always been the leading power in resisting the Foreign Race, active on the front line..." But what puzzled Su Xing was this. The Heavenly Secret Pavilion had previously been very pessimistic about the Three Thousand Worlds'' resistance against the Foreign Race, so why now are they also exerting great effort, deploying several Golden Immortal Realm cultivators... this power was not to be underestimated! "The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion... proficient in the Path of Causality and Destiny, perhaps, she saw even further into the future?" Su Xing pondered thoughtfully. "There''s also no move from the Qingyun Sect... perhaps it''s because Qing Yunzi encountered some problems?" "After all, when the founding ancestor of a sect encounters major problems... it indeed lacks the power to resist Foreign Races..." Su Xing continued to ponder, overall, after the extinction of the Little Qingyun Realm, the forces of the Three Thousand Worlds had finally spurred into action, realizing that the Foreign Race required a united front, which was undoubtedly good news. "This simulation has actually reached the two hundred and twenty-third year... maybe there are no issues with Qing Yunzi after all?" Su Xing''s lips curled up, his eyes once again gazing towards the Simulation Panel. [After learning about the alliance of powers in the Three Thousand Worlds, you felt delighted and after much hesitation, you did not choose to join the battle immediately but continued to cultivate in the Tianyuan Realm...] [In the two hundred and twenty-fifth year, your Divine Sense range increased to fifty-six thousand miles...] [In the same year, while cultivating in the Spirit Field Cave, you suddenly felt a palpitation and your Talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster furiously sent out warnings...] [An hour later, a figure tore through your mobile world and appeared in front of you!] [Upon seeing this, you tensed up, as Qing Yunzi appeared!] [At this time, Qing Yunzi, his mind unclear and somewhat mad... incessantly murmured the name Luo Tian...] [Upon seeing you, hiscontinued) face showed wild joy, and he coldly said with a laugh, "What a hiding little mouse..."] [Qing Yunzi performed a Soul Search on you...] [Your consciousness gradually dissipated...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows and sighed. "Indeed, even after losing the Spirit Field Cave and restarting it, I still have cause and effect threads connected to Qing Yunzi... it just took longer for Qing Yunzi to discover me this time!" "But, severing the Spirit Field Cave gave me about fifty additional years in the simulation! A total of two hundred and twenty-five years is indeed a record-breaking feat!" Su Xing took a long breath, and while it wasn''t a permanent solution, it at least proved that Su Xing''s approach was correct. As long as the divinations by Qing Yunzi were continuously disturbed, Su Xing could simulate for longer! "Perhaps... after severing the Spirit Field Cave, I need to further refine the Path of Causality and Destiny?" "Once completely freed from Qing Yunzi''s pursuit, surely I will be like a dragon entering the sea, with boundless opportunities ahead!" Su Xing''s heart felt a bit uplifted as his gaze turned towards the rewards from this simulation.

Priced at 30,000 Origin Energy Source. Seeing the rewards of this simulation, Su Xing gradually analyzed. "The Earth Immortal Realm Great Perfection Cultivation Level is definitely a must-take!" "As for the portable Cave Heaven... that''s not urgent, this Cave Heaven can still be enhanced... If it can be refined again later, perhaps I could get even a better portable Cave Heaven than now?" Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered, "That fist-sized Space Origin Stone needs True Immortal Realm to purchase... but what if I exchange treasures for it?" Su Xing decided to try it in the next simulation. "As for the Great Void Sword Art, I have already memorized it... I didn''t expect just a fragment could be worth 30,000 Origin Energy Source, truly precious!" Su Xing pondered for a moment and silently said, "I choose to take out the Earth Immortal Realm Great Perfection Cultivation Level... and Divine Sense Fifty-Six Thousand Miles!" [You have successfully taken out Divine Sense Fifty-Six Thousand Miles, spending 46,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source is 452,694 points...] [You have successfully taken out Earth Immortal Realm Great Perfection Cultivation Level, spending 90,000 Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source is 362,694 points...] Simulation notification sounds dropped, and mysterious energies flowed into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing first felt his Divine Sense quickly growing, but in this small Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing could not perceive to what extent his Divine Sense had grown. But immediately following, the growth in Cultivation Level was truly tangible! Earth Immortal Realm seventh stage... Earth Immortal Realm eighth stage... Earth Immortal Realm ninth stage! In a short moment, Su Xing''s cultivation continuously climbed, finally stabilizing at the Earth Immortal Realm Perfection! Inside Su Xing''s body, the river-like Immortal Power surged endlessly, seemingly about to break into a higher realm! Su Xing had a premonition that he might try to overcome the Heart Breaking Thunder Calamity, let go and step into the Heavenly Immortal Realm! But reason still suppressed this impulse. To break into the Heavenly Immortal Realm in a simulation was obviously safer, otherwise, a single misstep could mean the annihilation of both body and path in reality... "Whew... finally Earth Immortal Realm Perfection, Heavenly Immortal Realm is also beckoning to me!" "If I had Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, could it delay the doom of the Little Qingyun Realm?" Su Xing felt it necessary to offer some effort for the Little Qingyun Realm, whether for this world or for himself. "Divine Sense still needs further growth... and the breakthrough of the Heavenly Thunder Physique should also be sped up!" Su Xing muttered. Looking at the time, Su Xing changed his appearance and headed to trade with Lu Yuanwu. First leaving the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing wondered about the limit of his current Divine Sense. sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Deliberately avoiding the direction of Shuangqing City, Su Xing''s Divine Sense covered like a tide. In just an instant, Su Xing''s Divine Sense enveloped the entire Kyoto City. Then, the entire northern plains region of Great Xia... Finally, Su Xing''s Divine Sense surpassed the northern border of Great Xia Country, reaching one of the Seven Countries, North Bear Country! And to the south, Su Xing''s reach even crossed Great Xia Country''s southernmost part, stretching over the vast ocean! With Su Xing at the core, fifty-six thousand miles around, countless vast territories all fell within Su Xing''s perception! One could say, as long as Su Xing wished, the entire Great Xia Country, along with several surrounding large countries, half of the Twelve Domains were within Su Xing''s perception... As for America across the ocean, it was beyond Su Xing''s furthest sensing distance... "Whew... but maintaining the maximum range of Divine Sense for a long time still consumes quite a bit..." Su Xing rubbed his forehead, feeling his Divine Soul slightly fatigued. But this was normal, even for a Daluo Golden Immortal, it''s impossible to keep Divine Sense fully open at all times, watching over the entire world... After testing the power of his Divine Sense, Su Xing went to the agreed place to trade with Lu Yuanwu. ... With 20,000 Origin Energy Source in hand, Su Xing urged Lu Yuanwu to speed up the process, he stated that the pre-agreed one hundred thousand tons of Fourth-Rank Special Metal would be collected as soon as possible, and Su Xing then set his mind at ease. This week, Su Xing, as always, repaired puppets. In a week''s time, he repaired several Nascent Soul Realm puppets, even one Body Integration Realm puppet. "Another month of repairing the puppets, and they can be spread throughout the entire Blue Star''s Seven Countries and Twelve Domains... By then, more stable Origin Energy Source will surely be delivered..." Su Xing thought so. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire New Era November 25, 2025, Su Xing went to the villa to meet Jin Congxue. After a close conversation, another 30,000 Origin Energy Source came into his hands, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave. ... Within the winter of the Spirit Field, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel about to cool down, clenched his fist, and muttered, "This simulation, continue exploring the Great Void Realm, and train the Divine Sense to its current limit..." "And, with my current strength, maybe I could stay in the belly of a giant beast for a long time, could that be a safe place?" Chapter 308 The Establishment of the Cultivators Alliance, the Golden Talent Yimu Divine Body!【8k】_4 Su Xing thought to himself and silently chanted: "Start the simulation!" [The 113th simulation has started, the current remaining Origin Energy Source is 415,693 points... Remaining simulation times: unlimited.] [The simulation begins!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent will cost 1 point of Origin Energy Source, do you wish to extract?] Without hesitation, Su Xing silently chanted: "Yes!" [Ding, congratulations! You have acquired the Golden Talent, Yi Wood Divine Body. The probability for your next Golden Talent extraction is 60%.] [Yi Wood Divine Body]: A Golden Talent, one of the Hundred Great Divine Bodies. Your absorption speed for wood attribute Spiritual Energy increases, and your comprehension of The Great Dao of Wood deepens. "Hm? Yi Wood Divine Body..." Su Xing raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his face. Clearly, the Yi Wood Divine Body, just like the Fiery Flame Divine Body, was a talent that could enhance Su Xing''s aptitude. "Not bad... This Talent is indeed worth exchanging for... But there''s no hurry for now, let''s focus on breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm first!" Su Xing decided not to disrupt his plans at the moment, turning his attention back to the Simulation Panel. [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [Ten days later, you enter the Luo Tian Instance and reap great benefits...] [Another five days, and you successfully acquire 100,000 tons of Fourth-Rank Special Metal from Lu Yuanwu without any accidents.] [Next, you prepare to stay on Blue Star, travel the Great Void with your Divine Sense, and cultivate!] Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After roughly a month, you completely annihilate it!] [After absorbing this Heaven Rank spirit of the Great Void, your Divine Sense has increased to 66,000 li!] Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire [At the same time, you''ve acquired a fragment of a secret technique for Divine Sense offensives, the first half of the Great Void Sword Scripture!] [At this point, you have collected two-thirds of the Great Void Sword Scripture; you only need the last part to fully learn this sword technique!] In the real world, Su Xing expressed his delight upon seeing this and murmured: "Oh, so the drops from these spirits of the Great Void are random... Just like collecting shards, it seems this time I''ll successfully complete the Great Void Sword Scripture!" Su Xing looked forward with anticipation; the offensive arts of Divine Sense could also serve as one of his trump cards! "In Blue Star''s Great Void Realm, the growth rate of the Divine Sense remains as reliable as ever!" "I wonder what the limit of the Heavenly Human Realm Divine Sense will be?" Su Xing thought with a hint of expectation, his gaze returning to the Simulation Panel. [After dealing with the spirit of the Great Void, you continue to explore the Core Area of the Great Void Realm...] [Thus, another five years go by.] [In the twenty-fifth year, your Divine Sense has expanded to 72,000 li!] [This year, you are lucky to encounter another Heaven Rank spirit of the Great Void within the Core Area. After devouring it, your Divine Sense becomes significantly stronger, but what drops is still the first part of the Great Void Sword Scripture...] [Not discouraged, you continue to travel the Great Void, hunting these spirits...] [Three more years pass.] [In the twenty-eighth year, your Divine Sense has expanded to 75,000 li!] [This year, the Demon Saint arrives at Demon-Subduing Pass; you defend the Pass for five years, and the Demon Saint retreats...] [In the thirty-third year, your Divine Sense has expanded to 80,000 li!] [That year, you encounter another Heaven Rank spirit of the Great Void. After devouring it, you obtain the middle part of the Great Void Sword Scripture...] [Thus, seven years go by.] [In the fortieth year, your Divine Sense has expanded to 84,000 li!] [As your Divine Sense continues to grow, you feel as if your Divine Soul gradually undergoes a transformation...] [This transformation is indescribable, but it makes you feel greatly beneficial; it seems that your Divine Sense is close to the next Realm!] [During this year, you encounter a Heaven Rank spirit of the Great Void. After devouring it, you receive the middle part of the Great Void Sword Scripture...] In the real world, Su Xing sarcastically commented: "Damn it... Why is it always the first or middle parts of the Great Void Sword Scripture? Did the last part get eaten by a dog?" Su Xing felt somewhat speechless; the drop rate for the Great Void Sword Scripture seemed too elusive. It even reminded Su Xing of collecting cards as a child C was getting timely rain Song Jiang always this difficult? What Su Xing didn''t know, however, was that obtaining pieces of the Great Void Sword Scripture each time he killed a spirit of the Great Void was already incredibly lucky! Ordinary cultivators would consider it extremely good luck to obtain just one fragment after killing more than ten spirits of the Great Void. Otherwise, the secrets of the Divine Soul in the Great Void Realm wouldn''t be so precious... Su Xing''s eyes returned to the changes in his Divine Sense and he murmured to himself: "Divine Sense at 84,000 li... Perhaps 100,000 li is the current Realm''s limit?" Su Xing continued to think. "After the Heavenly Human Realm... The next Realm for Divine Sense is the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" "With a Divine Sense of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, one can sense heavenly people and naturally avoid misfortune and danger, as well as mitigating certain risks... At the same time, it greatly enhances comprehension of the Great Dao and various Cultivation Techniques and Supernatural Powers!" "And yet, it often requires reaching the True Immortal Realm and tens of thousands to even hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation to grasp a Divine Sense of the Heavenly Immortal Realm..."

Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire Previously, Su Xing had obtained the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, which had annotations. Perfected, this technique could evade the connection of heaven and man! At that time, Su Xing thought it was about evading the detection of Immortals... But in fact, the complete mastery of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique meant comprehending the Path of Causality and Destiny! This was enough to evade the sensing of ordinary Heaven Rank beings... meaning, even True Immortals and Profound Immortals would have difficulty locating Su Xing''s position and Heavenly Secrets! And like this, Su Xing''s strength in Divine Sense... was not far off! "Divine Sense in the Heavenly Human Realm! If coupled with the Tai Xu Sword Technique... could I directly annihilate Heavenly Immortals with an offensive of the Divine Soul?" Su Xing felt a hint of anticipation in his heart. "Another push, another push, at the pace of finding a Heaven Rank Tai Xu spirit every five or six years... I refuse to believe that with my extraordinary potential, I really can''t find the latter part of the Tai Xu Sword Technique?" With this thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the Simulation Panel. [The forty-fifth year, this year you encountered another Heaven Rank Tai Xu spirit, and after defeating and absorbing it, your Divine Sense grew to eighty-nine thousand li!] [That same year, Different Race Deities invaded Demon-Subduing Pass... you took action and suppressed them!] [After suppressing the Different Race Deities, you continued to roam the vastness of the void.] [Thus, ten years passed...] [The fifty-fifth year, this year your Divine Sense grew to ninety-five thousand li!] [As the range of your Divine Sense kept increasing, you gradually felt you were touching an invisible barrier, and the growth of your Divine Sense once again slowed down...] [During these ten years, you hunted down two Heaven Rank Tai Xu spirits, but still did not obtain the latter part of the Tai Xu Sword Technique.] [The fifty-eighth year, a formidable Demon God with immense power from the Different Race descended upon Demon-Subduing Pass...] [It took quite an effort, but after battling it for three days and nights, you slaughtered it!] Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Ding...] ... Quickly, the Immersive Simulation ended, and Su Xing''s mind finally possessed the complete cultivation methods of the Tai Xu Sword Technique! "The Tai Xu Sword Technique... an ultimate offensive secret technique for Divine Sense... when there is time in the future, I must cultivate it diligently!" Su Xing smacked his lips, then began contemplating his next simulation target. "This simulation, I''ll try staying on Blue Star... not going to Demon-Subduing Pass, what should be done when that behemoth arrives?" "With my strength, at the very worst... I could survive for over a decade within the behemoth''s belly... certainly enough to explore thoroughly!" With this thought, Su Xing made up his mind. What consequences would remain if he stayed on Blue Star during this simulation, not resisting, and being swallowed by the behemoth? His gaze fell upon the Simulation Panel. [After obtaining the complete Tai Xu Sword Technique, you did not stay at Demon-Subduing Pass but disappeared completely on Blue Star, secluding yourself within the Spirit Field Cave.] [You set up the Xuan Yuan Concealment Array, shielding your own Heavenly Secrets... with various enhancements, you were confident that cultivators below the Golden Immortal Realm would find it difficult to detect any trace of you.] [After making ample preparations, you continued roaming the void and began cultivating the Wishful Visualization Technique, initiating a charge towards the realm of Heaven and Man Connection...] [In the blink of an eye, another six years passed!] [The sixty-fifth year, your Divine Sense grew to ninety-eight thousand li!] [That year you performed a divination, foreseeing a calamity at Demon-Subduing Pass... and with your strength, you could not prevent this disaster; if you interfered, you would only perish along with your path...] [Therefore, you chose to stay on Blue Star, quietly waiting for the behemoth to descend...] [That year, Demon-Subduing Pass shattered, and the Human Race was at the brink of destruction... but Blue Star had not been entirely wiped out!] [Thus, three more years went by...] [The sixty-eighth year, your Divine Sense grew to ninety-nine thousand li!] [One day, while you were roaming the void, you suddenly felt a terrifying threat rapidly approaching...] [You hurriedly called back your consciousness, your Primordial Spirit returning to your body... and then, you saw that sun-eclipsing, sky-shrouding behemoth!] Chapter 309 Simulating Ninety Years, Stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm!【8k】 In the real world, Su Xing''s heart was stirred when he saw this. "Finally, the behemoth has come!" "I wonder if with my current strength... I can survive for a long time in the belly of the beast?" "If I can... is the space within the behemoth''s belly safe enough for me to evade Qing Yunzi and the Foreign Race''s assassination attempts?" Su Xing looked forward to it slightly as his gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. [The behemoth that blotted out the sky, like a stretch of the Milky Way, descended beyond Blue Star.] Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire [It opened its mouth, black-hole-like, and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp...] [All life, flowers, trees rapidly diminished, mountains crumbled, and the earth split apart...] [You could barely ensure your own safety by summoning the Body-Protecting Sword Aura.] [Using the power of the Great Dao of Space, you wrapped several storage rings, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, and the Spirit Field Cave around you.] [The belly of the beast felt incredibly familiar to you, as if it were the birth of The Void...] [After the world''s annihilation, The Void is eternity.] [You operated your immortal power to maintain balance within the beast''s belly and headed toward an area shimmering with purple thunder...] [You glanced at the small thunder zone and didn''t linger; the thunder within held no threat to you nor could it serve to refine your body, feeling no more than an itch.] [Moments later, you entered a medium-sized thunder zone.] [Here, the power of the thunder was significantly stronger, manifold times over. You walked into it, letting the lightning strike your physical body.] [Moments later, you left disappointed...] [With the strength of your current physical body, even the medium-sized thunder zone was merely like touching static electricity, inflicting almost no harm on you.] [You began to search in this void within the belly, looking for a large thunder zone.] [Thus, after an hour, you arrived at an area sparkling with purple thunder light.] [Within this area, even Cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage would feel terror-stricken at the robust lightning...] [Without hesitation, you stepped into it... Bathing in the lightning, the fearsome thunder continually refined your physical body.] [You didn''t use any protective measures, not even Origin Force, allowing the thunder to strike you unimpeded...] [Gradually, scorched marks appeared on your skin.] [These marks were trivial, not even qualifying as minor injuries... but they did stimulate your constitution and talent''s automatic recovery!] [The Undying Xiaochi, Wood Type immortal power, Ancient Witch Body...

"The thunder zones in the belly of the same behemoth... I had to struggle to withstand even the slightest before..."

[You shuttled back and forth among various thunder zones, the Heavenly Thunder Physique constantly shedding its old self, with an ever-deepening comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder...] [Time unknown, this was the thirty-seventh large thunder zone you had encountered, and all you could see was darkness.] [Large thunder zones were nearly impossible to find, and the space within the behemoth''s belly seemed to have returned to calm.] [But this wasn''t what you hoped for, so you released your Divine Sense, continuously searching within the belly of the beast, hoping to find more thunder zones...] [You sped through the void in the belly of the beast at an extremely fast pace... and this space seemed as if it had no bounds, limitless, with no end.] [After an unknown period, you encountered a thunder zone you had never seen before!] [A sky full of purple thunder light, terrible thunder striking down continuously... the robust lightning, each strike as powerful as the lightning from the sixth and ninth Heavenly Tribulation!] [Your heart leaped with joy, knowing this was what you were searching for... a gigantic thunder zone!] [Without any hesitation, you entered this area alone.] [The terrifying thunder, like mighty dragons, poured down instantly...] [But the terrifying lightning, with each strike on your physical body, caused only light injuries... within a few breaths'' time, your physical body and talents repaired themselves, rapidly diminishing these wounds...] Chapter 309 Simulating Ninety Years, Stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm!【8k】_2 Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire ``` [Although pain came from time to time... it didn''t affect your mind, you even attempted to multitask, visualizing the diagram in your mind.] [Thus, when one day you opened your eyes... this vast thunder region finally vanished!] [You roughly calculated and found that from its emergence to its demise, the thunder region lasted... about a month''s time.] [But why the thunder region was born, you had no idea... it was not easy to search for it in this vast space.] [You used divination to estimate the time, and realized that from entering the belly of the beast, it had already been three months!] [You were pretty sure that nearly everything on Blue Star had already vanished... The occasional world fragments and Great Dao principles that floated by confirmed your thoughts.] [A mere three months, even if living in The Void, your mana remained as stable as the beginning... unaffected in the slightest!] [What was even more fortunate was that the Spirit Field Cave, wrapped in the power of space, was still stable... you could enter it whenever you wished!] Back in the real world, Su Xing smiled, murmuring to himself, "Indeed, with my current strength, I am now able to survive in The Void for a long time!" "With my Cultivation Level at the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm, my mana is stable and profound... protected by the Body-Protecting Sword Aura, staying in The Void for a year and a half is no problem!" "And once mana becomes chaotic... I could return to the Spirit Field Cave to adjust for some time..." "Such a cycle... this means, at the very least, I can survive in the belly of the beast for several years... or even dozens of years!" Su Xing felt very satisfied in his heart. If everything went according to his plan, this simulation would provide ample time to expand his Divine Sense... and even enhance his comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder! Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze fell upon the Simulation Panel. Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Life in the space within the belly of the beast was dull and uninteresting... apart from yourself, there was no other life...] [What you did every day was wander endlessly, searching for thunder regions...] [Thus, three months passed...] [Finally, with your unremitting efforts, you found another immense thunder region.] [You decisively entered it... to embrace yet another baptism of thunder!] [Thus... a month passed.] [Your comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder advanced further, and your Heavenly Thunder Physique continued to perfect...] [After this baptism, you chose to return to the Spirit Field Cave, to stabilize your Mana Cultivation.] [Thus, another half year went by.] [In the seventieth year, your Divine Sense had expanded to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred fifty miles...] [And as Divine Sense continued to press against a certain threshold, it became increasingly difficult to improve.] [But you were not anxious, you decided to hide in the belly of the beast, continuing your cultivation...] [Thus, apart from searching for thunder regions and meditating on the Great Dao of Thunder, you pondered the Diagram of Wishful Visualization, and five years swiftly passed...] [In the seventy-fifth year, your Divine Sense grew to ninety-nine thousand eight hundred miles in that year!] [The final goal of one hundred thousand miles... was no longer far!] [And over these five years, you found six immense thunder regions in succession, constantly refining yourself through their baptisms.] [Your Dao Comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder took another firm step forward... it seemed you weren''t far from a preliminary understanding...] [What was a bit surprising was that, by living a long time in the belly of the beast, your comprehension of the Great Dao of Space seemed to deepen!] [The space within the beast''s belly was as dangerous as The Void... although there were no void wormholes, the terrifying void currents could also annihilate everything.] [And with your current comprehension of the Great Dao of Space, you could not only predict the emergence of void currents in advance but also somewhat avoid their destructive power...] [What excited you more was that, after years of refinement, the Heavenly Thunder Physique finally entered the third stage!] [As the Heavenly Thunder Physique entered the third stage, you clearly felt your physical body grow stronger, the damage from thunder lessened... and the efficiency of your comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder increased multifold...] Su Xing''s eyes twinkled upon reading this. "Heavenly Thunder Physique... has it entered the third stage again?" "According to current trends, it seems I can hold on for quite some time... Could the Heavenly Thunder Physique advance even further?" The reason he said ''again'' was that Su Xing''s Heavenly Thunder Physique had entered the third stage before. That was when he underwent the Heavenly Tribulation... only at that time, Su Xing chose to advance his Cultivation Level and comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder, not the Heavenly Thunder Physique. However, now, after experiencing the belly of the beast... the Heavenly Thunder Physique might be able to advance further! The second stage of the Heavenly Thunder Physique, in Su Xing''s opinion, was about stronger than the ordinary Purple Talent but not quite as strong as the Golden Talent. Breaking into the third stage of the Heavenly Thunder Physique was roughly equivalent to possessing an additional Golden Talent-like Divine Body! Its power was comparable to the Ancient Witch Body... and the Fiery Flame Divine Body, barely considered among the Hundred Great Divine Bodies. "Above the third stage... can the Heavenly Thunder Physique grow further, surpassing the other grades I currently possess?" Su Xing harbored a bit of anticipation. His gaze returned to the Simulation Panel! [And so, after endlessly refining the Heavenly Thunder Physique, another three years passed...] [In the seventy-eighth year, your Talent of being a Late Bloomer had taken effect, and your Divine Sense had burgeoned to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred miles!] [Without hesitation, you consumed the Spirit Awakening Pill you had preserved, to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm with your Divine Sense!] [After taking the Spirit Awakening Pill, your Comprehension greatly increased, and with the boost from the Great Wisdom State, the speed at which you pondered the diagram in your mind was many times faster...] ``` Chapter 309 Simulating Ninety Years, Stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm! 【8k】_3 ``` [Thus, a month passed...] [Finally one day, you felt as if a fragmented voice echoed in your mind!] [You felt your Divine Soul and Divine Sense stepping into a new vast world...] [That day, your Divine Sense finally broke through 100,000 miles!] [Congratulations on entering the Divine Sense Heavenly Human Realm!] [With your Divine Sense entering the Heavenly Human Realm, your comprehension and memory greatly improved... Even your sense of danger advanced further, this profoundly mysterious sensation captivated your mind...] [When you visualized the diagram in your mind again, you saw the Jade Ruyi in the hands of the Immortal Elder!] [The Jade Ruyi, green as verdant leaves and lifelike, seemed to possess tremendous magic power... continually drawing in your soul.] [Gradually, you seemed to be getting lost in it...] [At the crucial moment, a light humming from the Ink Ice Sword at your waist sent a refreshing coolness to the depths of your soul...] [You snapped back to reality, hastily stopping the visualization of the Jade Ruyi, yet feeling a substantial drain on your Divine Soul...] [With your current Divine Sense Realm, although you can see the Jade Ruyi clearly, if you observe it for too long, the consumption might exceed expectations...] [And the environment around you now obviously isn''t conducive to prolonged observation.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured, "When I was in the Five Senses Realm of Divine Sense... I could only see the landscape in the Diagram of Wishful Visualization, I couldn''t even make out the features of the Immortal Elder..." "When I was in the Six Senses Realm, I could see the Elder clearly, but not the Jade Ruyi!" "Now, in the Divine Sense Heavenly Human Realm, I can finally scrutinize this Jade Ruyi!" "The so-called Diagram of Wishful Visualization... the mystique must certainly lie in this Jade Ruyi!" Su Xing pondered with thoughts in his heart.

"Since the Divine Soul has reached the expected level... next, while in the belly space of the giant beast, the focus should still be on comprehending the Great Dao of Thunder and enhancing the Heavenly Thunder Physique!" Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire [After your Divine Sense entered the Heavenly Human Realm, your Dao Comprehension speed increased by more than fifty percent.] [At the same time, you could sense the changes in The Void around you over a larger area, preemptively avoiding the incoming void turbulence...] [Thus, another seven years passed.] [In the eighty-fifth year, with continuous refinement of your Heavenly Thunder Physique over the last seven years, you felt that your physique was much stronger than before, and the speed of absorbing Thunder Spiritual Qi also more than doubled...] [You were not sure how far your Heavenly Thunder Physique had developed now, but this improvement was obviously beneficial for you.] [This was your twentieth year inside the belly space of the giant beast... The original World Fragment, the Great Dao Principles had largely collapsed, and it seemed like everything inside the belly of the beast was to turn into The Void...] [Yet, you also noticed, although the World Fragments were diminishing, new World Fragments were continually entering, maintaining a sort of balance overall.] [You knew this was because the giant beast was constantly devouring new worlds to ensure this balance!] [A real danger you felt was that this space had developed "malice" towards you!] [Initially, the space inside the beast''s belly was peaceful, you only needed to be cautious of the void turbulence, occasionally entering the Spirit Field Cave to restore mana, and you could survive easily.] [But gradually, you found that this space seemed to be rejecting you, an outsider.] [The entire space appeared to want to kill you!] [Specifically, the frequency of encountering void turbulence was increasing... even World Fragments and Great Dao Principles kept rushing towards you.] [You had seen a terrifying Grand Interspatial Path turn into a sharp blade, nearly splitting you in half...] [You also saw terrifying flames coming at you, seemingly wanting to devour you.] [And whether it was the void turbulence or the attacks of various Daos, they seemed to have consciousness...] [You were absolutely certain, the giant beast had discovered your existence!] [And instinctively, the beast wanted to crush you, this "little bug"... Thus, it constantly created difficulties, trying to kill you!] [At first, the occasional attacks were manageable...] [But as this "world malice" grew, it was becoming nearly impossible for you to maintain your survival in this space!] [Finally, one day you shockingly discovered... you had lost the coordinates to the Spirit Field Cave!] In the real world, Su Xing''s brows deeply furrowed. "World malice? The entire Void wants to kill me? This... surely the giant beast has discovered I am still alive!" Su Xing had always been extremely lucky, especially under the blessings of good fortune, with void turbulence rarely bothering him... As long as Su Xing didn''t tempt fate, he should be able to survive for a long time. Yet, he was after all in the belly space of the giant beast, and this Void... after all, belonged to that beast! The giant beast was like the will of this void! "Things are going to get tricky now!" "The giant beast has discovered my presence... The Spirit Field Cave has been destroyed by the beast... meaning, my mana can hardly be replenished, I must comprehend the thunderous Great Dao as soon as possible!" Su Xing looked somewhat anxious as he gazed towards the Simulation Panel. [After losing the Spirit Field Cave, you knew you had lost your biggest support, and it was impossible to live in this space forever.] [But fortunately, you still have the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat!] [You activated the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, steering it to continuously search for thunderous areas...] [Inside the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, you occasionally consumed Spiritual Liquid to ensure an adequate supply of mana.] [You kept searching for thunderous areas, continuing to temper your Heavenly Thunder Physique, enhancing your comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder...] ``` Chapter 309 Simulating Ninety Years, Stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm! 【8k】_4 "[Thus, you persisted for an entire five years!]" S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "[In the ninetieth year, entering the twenty-fifth year inside the belly of the giant beast, as the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat completely disintegrated, you finally could not hold on.] "[Your mana surged chaotically throughout your body...ultimately, you died under the assault of the Great Dao Principles!]" "[You died!]" "[Ding, this simulation has ended!]" After the simulation ended, Su Xing withdrew his gaze. "What a pity, this simulation only made it to the ninetieth year...it''s been a long time since I''ve had a simulation that short..." "It seems that with my current strength, I am not yet able to survive indefinitely within the space inside the giant beast''s belly..." "Even if I''m better prepared later, I could probably only last about a hundred years or so, right? Perhaps after I gain more strength, I can try again!" Su Xing did not regret his decision. Although the simulation was not long, Su Xing had essentially achieved the objectives of this trial! Whether it was the enhancement of his Divine Sense or the breakthrough of his Heavenly Thunder Physique, both were good for Su Xing! "Well then, let''s see what rewards this simulation has brought..." Su Xing thought. [Yimu Divine Body]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 Origin Energy Points. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire [Divine Sense 100,000 Li (Heavenly Human Realm)]: Heavenly Human Realm Divine Sense, covering a range of 100,000 li, facilitating a breakthrough into the Heavenly Human Realm, further enhancing comprehension, deepening the resonance with the Great Dao, and allowing one to sense dangers targeting oneself, priced at 44,000 Origin Energy Points. [Tai Xu Sword Technique (Complete)]: A supreme secret technique of Divine Sense attack, condensing a golden Divine Soul sword with unrivaled offensive power, priced at 100,000 Origin Energy Points. [Heavenly Thunder Holy Body (Incomplete)]: One of the top ten Sacred Bodies in the Cultivation World, it breaks through the initial illusions, sweeps away all evil spirits, greatly bolstering the Thunder Spiritual Root, significantly enhancing the efficiency of perceiving Thunder Spiritual Qi, and deepening the comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder, but the Heavenly Thunder Body is still not fully achieved, requiring even more intense thunder to stimulate, priced at 100,000 Origin Energy Points. [Great Dao of Thunder Comprehension]: On the brink of an initial peek into the Realm of the Great Dao of Thunder, priced at 80,000 Origin Energy Points. [Comprehension of the Space Dao]: Twenty-five years of perception of the Great Dao of Space, the exchange enhances control over space, priced at 50,000 Origin Energy Points. Su Xing''s gaze swept over the rewards of this simulation, analyzing each one. "Yimu Divine Body...definitely a choice to be made, but there''s no rush!" "Divine Sense 100,000 Li, breaking into the Heavenly Human Realm...it''s a prerequisite for surviving the tribulation of thunder, this choice is indisputable, a must for this time!" "The Tai Xu Sword Technique, I have already completely memorized..." After some thought, Su Xing finally set his eyes on the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body and the Great Dao of Thunder Comprehension! "Selecting the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body, though incomplete...yet the strength of a Holy Body, I''m afraid, might surpass an ordinary Divine Body...at least it''s equivalent to a top-tier Golden Talent!" "As for the Comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder, once I choose the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body, it won''t be too late to attempt comprehension in later simulations..." Su Xing quickly made a decision, mentally declaring: "I choose the Divine Sense of 100,000 Li in the Heavenly Human Realm... and the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body!" [You have successfully extracted the Heavenly Human Realm Divine Sense (100,000 Li), spending 44,000 Origin Energy Points, your remaining Origin Energy Points are 374,692...] [You have successfully extracted the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body (Incomplete), spending 100,000 Origin Energy Points, your remaining Origin Energy Points are 274,692...] As the notification sounds fell, two mysterious energies flowed into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing sat cross-legged, quietly sensing the changes in his body. The Heavenly Thunder Physique leapt from the second stage all the way to the level of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body; though it hadn''t fully stepped into it, it far surpassed the third stage of the Heavenly Thunder Physique. This made Su Xing''s sensitivity to Thunder Spiritual Qi increase by more than double! Besides, Su Xing''s comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder also advanced further! The most crucial point was that, although the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body was incomplete, like the Xuan Yin Holy Body, it carried special effects! The Heavenly Thunder Holy Body was invulnerable to all evil, significantly improving Su Xing''s ability to withstand evil spirits and curses! Apart from the changes brought about by the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body, the advancement of Su Xing''s Divine Sense was even more apparent! His range of Divine Sense had greatly increased, almost doubling from the previous 56,000 li! And Su Xing''s comprehension at this moment greatly increased, speeding up his understanding of all Daos... This was not a mere increase in wisdom but rather an enhancement of memory and comprehension. The Heavenly Human Realm Divine Sense also made Su Xing''s sense of his own fortunes and misfortunes much sharper. "Let me try the Diagram of Wishful Visualization first..." Moments later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, first visualizing the patterns in his mind. Within a landscape, an old man held a Jade Ruyi, yet his expression was inexplicably chilling. Su Xing found that if he looked at the landscape alone, he could see it clearly. The Immortal old man and the Jade Ruyi, he could also see clearly... But if he wanted to observe all three at once, he could not manage it! Even observing the old man and the landscape simultaneously was beyond Su Xing''s ability. "Could it be... there are realms above the Heavenly Human Realm of Divine Sense?" Su Xing pondered, feeling that the Heavenly Human Realm might not be the limit of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization! Thinking of this, a smile formed on Su Xing''s lips; the higher the potential limit of the visualization diagram, the more beneficial it was for him! "Now then, I should go test it on Blue Star... With my current Divine Sense, am I able to cover the entire Blue Star?" Su Xing was eager to try, his figure flashed and he appeared in the dormitory of Kyoto Academy. Immediately afterward, Su Xing''s Divine Sense surged out like a tide in all directions. Passing the borders of Great Xia Country... reaching the major nations and regions around it... Then, crossing the vast ocean, he arrived at America on the other side of the great sea! Chapter 309 Simulating Ninety Years, Stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm! 【8k】_5 At last, Su Xing''s Divine Sense completely covered the entire Blue Star! Enjoying the feeling of his Divine Sense enveloping the entire Blue Star, Su Xing took a deep breath, able to perceive anything happening on the planet at will. This feeling... was indistinguishable from that of a God! After carefully contemplating for a moment, Su Xing withdrew his Divine Sense, nodding in satisfaction. "With such vast Divine Sense... commanding and driving puppets will be much easier in the future!" Now, Su Xing no longer needed to tirelessly refine elixirs day and night to obtain energy. Hundreds of puppets, spread across the seven countries and twelve domains of Blue Star, as well as the Beast Taming Realm and Xianwu World, were able to provide Su Xing with a continuous supply of energy! Together with the weekly energy supply from Tarot Commerce Association and Great Xia Country... Su Xing might not lack energy anymore before reaching the True Immortal Realm! "It''s a pity... the total energy of Blue Star is still limited!" "How can I make Blue Star produce more energy for me?" Su Xing was somewhat troubled. In his view, with the current capacity of Profession Users on Blue Star, it should not be difficult to provide the energy needed to ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. As for the energy needed for the True Immortal Realm... if he exhausted all of Blue Star''s efforts, perhaps it could just be managed. But what about higher realms? Profound Immortal... Golden Immortal... even Taiyi Golden Immortal? By then, the energy needed to ascend even a minor realm might amount to tens of millions of Origin Energy Sources. With Blue Star''s capacity, it would likely be hard to sustain! Therefore, Su Xing must quickly direct his attention towards the Three Thousand Worlds! Only there could Su Xing have enough resources to enhance his cultivation level! "However... if I could enhance the overall strength of Blue Star''s Profession Users... creating more Profession Users, perhaps they could also provide more energy!" Su Xing pondered thoughtfully. Not to mention, in the dungeons nearby Blue Star, small worlds and various instances numbered in the hundreds of thousands! Most were already explored by Profession Users, but some remained unexplored. If the overall strength of Blue Star''s Profession Users were to advance a level, they could at least obtain more equipment! Just those pieces of equipment could bring Su Xing a considerable amount of energy! "However... with my current cultivation level strength, I cannot broadly interfere and improve the overall strength of the Human Race..." "Because once I do, it will definitely be discovered by the Descending Sect... and then it would be tantamount to completely exposing myself to the Foreign Race Descending Sect..." Su Xing was not in a hurry for the moment, having the advantage on his side, and he had plenty of time to wait! Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire Even if it meant simulating for 220 years each time, by stalling for one year, Su Xing was effectively cultivating for ten thousand years! If he stalled for about ten years... achieving the realm of Golden Immortal or even Taiyi Golden Immortal, would he still fear the Descending Sect then? At least Su Xing was confident that in the Three Thousand Worlds, he could also protect his family and friends from harm. And this... was merely the worst, most conservative estimate... Su Xing organized his thoughts and prepared to go trade with Lu Yuanwu. ... After the trade, Su Xing gained another twenty thousand Origin Energy Sources. sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the following week, Su Xing continued to repair puppets. In a week''s time, Su Xing repaired several puppets. Su Xing dispatched these puppets to different countries, continuously trading for them and collecting substances containing great energy. Currently, the entire Blue Star already had puppet organizations established by Su Xing in five countries plus twelve domains! The counterfeit "Heavenly Secret Pavilion" established by Su Xing had completely become a transnational organization with considerable influence. However, those Profession Users did not know that the Heavenly Secret Pavilions in all countries belonged to the same organization, otherwise they would certainly be cautious. If two or three more weeks passed and Su Xing repaired another ten or twenty puppets, the trade scope of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion would completely cover the entire Blue Star! On December 2, 2025 of the New Era, Su Xing went to trade with Jin Congxue. One trade, and again over thirty thousand Origin Energy Sources were acquired. Su Xing returned to Spirit Field Cave, quietly waiting for the simulation cooldown to complete. Seeing the simulation cooldown finally ended, Su Xing calmed his excited heart. "Although the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body is not yet complete, it should also be sufficient!" "Plus my Heavenly Human Realm''s Divine Sense... I should be able to overcome the Heartbreaking Thunder Disaster and break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" After a pause, Su Xing continued, "And... this simulation might also be an opportunity to try if, with my abilities, I can directly participate in the battle, promote the early birth of the Cultivators Alliance, and delay the destruction of the Little Qingyun Realm?" Chapter 310 Gold Spiritual Root Talent, Five Elements Mutated Super Spiritual Root!【8k】 Considering this, Su Xing silently recited: "Begin simulation!" [Simulation 114 initiated, remaining Origin Energy Source is 328,762 points... Remaining simulation count: unlimited.] [Simulation started!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent consumes 1 point of Origin Energy Source. Proceed with extraction?] Su Xing did not hesitate and silently said: "Yes!" [Ding, congratulations! You''ve obtained the Golden Talent: Five Elements Super Spiritual Root. Next extraction probability for Golden Talent is 60%.] [Five Elements Super Spiritual Root]: Golden Talent, you naturally possess the Five Elements Spiritual Root, not only can you sense the spiritual energy of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth but your comprehension of Thunder Spiritual Qi is exceptionally high. With the Super Spiritual Root aptitude, reaching immortality in a millennium is no delusion! Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Holy shit... Did it finally explode? The Golden Spiritual Root Talent... Five Elements Super Spiritual Root!" Su Xing took a deep breath, unable to hold back from blurting out swear words in excitement! Currently, his biggest obstacle for advancing his Qi Refining Cultivation was his insufficient Spiritual Root! Although his cultivation had progressed swiftly at the Earth Immortal Realm due to sufficient resources, and the boost from various physiques and cultivation techniques, still, the breakthroughs between minor realms became incredibly difficult! Just moving from the early stage to the middle stage alone might require two or three attempts. For an ordinary cultivator, failing to break through this bottleneck could potentially damage their potential and halt their progress. But for Su Xing, because each simulation would reset, he didn''t face these problems. "Regardless, the timely arrival of a Golden quality Super Spiritual Root is absolutely perfect!" "With this Super Spiritual Root... My confidence in breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm has increased by another 10%... The odds of success are now 98%!" Su Xing was in a fantastic mood. Normally, for someone with a Heavenly Spirit Root to break through to the Human Immortal Realm, if they had enough resources and sufficient preparation, the probability stands at 50/50. And the chance of breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm with a sufficiently talented root could drop to less than 10%. And if one aims to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm... The probability would likely be less than 0.1%! Thus, Su Xing''s arrival of the Super Spiritual Root was incredibly timely! "However... with this, I need to make some slight adjustments to this simulation''s plan..." Su Xing had a plan in mind, his gaze shifting to the Simulation Panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation.] [A week later, you transact with Lu Yuanwu and successfully acquire a hundred thousand tons of Fourth-Rank Alien Metal...] [Two days later, you visit the Luo Tian Instance and reap a lot of benefit...] [You stay on Blue Star for three years, preparing for your journey to the Three Thousand Worlds.] [In the fourth year, you remove all items from the Spirit Field Cave, severing ties with it...] [After losing the Spirit Field Cave, you feel that your causal link with Qing Yunzi has reduced...] [You leave behind many Puppets on Blue Star and created several tenth-level Talismans.] [Later, you pass through Alternate Space, heading towards the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Arriving at the familiar northern part of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, you sell intelligence and acquire a mass of resources; you join the White Emperor City, showing off your cultivation at the peak of Earth Immortal Realm, becoming an Elder of the city''s subdivision.] [Not staying long in the Little Qingyun Realm, you pilot the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat toward the Blackwater Realm.] [From the Blackwater Realm, you obtain part of Luo Tian Sect''s legacy.] [After resting for half a year, you head towards the Cangwu Realm...] [You make contact with the Cangwu Realm''s merchants'' guild, showing off your Body Refinement Heavenly Immortal Realm strength, and in exchange for an Innate Fusang Tree Branch, you obtain a fist-sized Space Origin Stone!] [In the seventh year, having done all this, you pilot the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, ready to return to the Little Qingyun Realm!] [This time, you want to see if, with your strength, you can prevent the destruction of the Little Qingyun Realm!] [You pilot the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, lingering in The Void for a long time, you activate the Space Origin Stone, and with the help of Space Spirit Stone and the Void Stone, you open a portable Blessed Land!] [Thanks to the higher quality of the Space Origin Stone, you smoothly carve out a Blessed Land of hundred zhang...] [Unfortunately, your Cultivation Mana is insufficient, though with Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, you are confident in creating a three hundred zhang Blessed Land!] [You replant the Gathering Spirit Flower and many Spirit Plants back into the Blessed Land... the Spirit Field gradually ascends towards Spirit Field Cave!] [In the tenth year, you return to the Little Qingyun Realm, with the strength of a White Emperor City Elder, and assist Heavenly Demon City in resisting the Foreign Race!] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly. "Not bad, everything is proceeding according to plan... However, the only risk to this plan is, will Qing Yunzi sense my presence prematurely?" Su Xing frowned slightly, lost in thought. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire Currently, Su Xing''s Qi Refining Cultivation was at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, his Body Refinement Cultivation was at the initial phase of the third level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, equivalent to the initial Body Refinement in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Adding Sword Dao, All-Encompassing Star Attraction, Spirit Explosion Technique, and various talents, even facing a late-stage Heavenly Immortal, Su Xing''s combat power was not inferior at all! "Already a main force on the front lines for Heavenly Demon City with Heavenly Immortal Realm strength!" "If I kill in battle during this simulation and accumulate sufficient military exploits, might it draw the attention of White Emperor City and Heavenly Demon Prison sooner?" "And with raising my Qi Refinements... Breaking through the Heart Thunder Calamity and reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm is just a natural progression..." Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued to think: "In previous simulations, it took Qing Yunzi two hundred and twenty-five years to find me... with Qing Yunzi''s Semi-Saint strength, if he locates my position, it would only take a few years, or perhaps a dozen years to find me..." "This shows that severing ties with the Spirit Field Cave can indeed obscure Qing Yunzi''s senses!" Chapter 310 Gold Spiritual Root Talent, Five Elements Variant Super Spiritual Root! [8k]_2 Although Su Xing didn''t know the reasons behind it, he had the ability to give it a try. Even if he failed, it would simply be a wasted simulation attempt... With a plan in mind, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. "Because of your outstanding strength, as soon as you joined Heavenly Demon City, you attained the position of Ten Thousand Commander." "You volunteered boldly, expressing your willingness to lead a troop of cultivators, fighting on the front lines against the Foreign Race." "The higher-ups in Heavenly Demon City were very satisfied with your idea and not only provided you with a ten thousand-strong army, but they even equipped you with two deputy commanders at the Human Immortal Realm!" "Though nominally a Ten Thousand Commander, the power in your hands was no different from that of a commander at the Earth Immortal Realm." "You decided to use the slaying of the Foreign Race as an opportunity to refine your own swordsmanship!" "Following the sword cultivation methods obtained from Luo Qingniu, you decided to first slay the Foreign Race for thirty to fifty years to hone your Sword Dao!" "Thus, ten years passed!" "By the twentieth year, you had successfully become one of Heavenly Demon City''s front-line commanders at the Earth Immortal Realm!" Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire "During these ten years, you had slain dozens of lower divine power Foreign Race individuals and three of medium divine power!" "Such achievements, below the Heavenly Immortal level, were second to none!" "Your actions and strength instantly caught the attention of both Heavenly Demon City and White Emperor City''s higher echelons." "Every cultivator in Heavenly Demon City knew, there was a powerful Sword Immortal whose sword could slay Different Race Deities... Fierce in battle, and invincible in war!" "Moreover, this Sword Immortal was very protective of his own troops; although he combated the Foreign Race, the casualty ratio could reach one to a hundred, slaying countless Foreign Race... " "And as your fame spread wide on the front lines of Heavenly Demon City, more and more cultivators wished to forge ties with you." "The army you led was named Tianyuan!" "The Tianyuan Army, unbeatable in battle, feared no death!" "And every year, you also received much spoils of war, not only could you prioritize the battle''s spoils, but even White Emperor City would grant you a hundred thousand points of High-grade Spiritual Liquid as support." "But to you, the battles on the front lines were actually not dangerous, because at that time, the strongest among the Foreign Race on the battlefield were at most at the peak of divine power... Not even a single True God had appeared." "And over these ten years, you continually refined your swordsmanship... to the point where you could slay the Foreign Race with the simplest of Sword Moves!" "Every sword strike, every battle, brought you new insights into the sword!" Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Through the day-to-day battles on the front line, another ten years passed!" "By the thirtieth year, your Tianyuan Army became a target, as a powerful divine power entity from the Foreign Race led hundreds of thousands of its kind to assail you..." "In this battle, the Tianyuan Army felt complete despair, yet did not retreat even half a step!" "Only you knew, this powerful divine power entity from the Foreign Race... was nothing much, strictly speaking, it was only early Heavenly Immortal Realm at best..." "So, in this battle, you showed a bit of your true power." "At first, you used this Different Race Deity to refine your swordsmanship, and after fighting for several hours, your swordsmanship improved considerably..." "When this Different Race Deity''s strength started to wane, you struck decisively. Utilizing two thousand Body-Protecting Sword Aura strikes, you sliced it down with one blow!" "In this battle, out of your thirty thousand soldiers, more than thirty percent suffered casualties..." "Yet you annihilated the hundred-thousand-strong Foreign Race army!" "This astounding victory quickly spread throughout Heavenly Demon City..." "All the higher-ups in Heavenly Demon City knew, a talented Sword Immortal, known as Su Ye, had the capability to slay a Heavenly Immortal with Earth Immortal Realm cultivation!" "From this moment, you became famous in a single battle... and were promoted to General on the front lines of Heavenly Demon City!" "After a few months, the master of a True Immortal Realm branch from White Emperor Tower came to see you in person. He encouraged you greatly, and in the name of White Emperor City, he supplied you with ample resources." "These resources did not concern you, as your goal was to build sufficient fame while concurrently refining your swordsmanship!" "Thus, another five years went by!" "In the thirty-fifth year, leading the Tianyuan Army on an external campaign, you encountered another strong divine power entity from the Foreign Race!" "After hundreds of rounds of fierce battle, you managed to slay it at the cost of only light injuries!" "At this moment, Heavenly Demon City was utterly agitated!" "With Earth Immortal Realm cultivation, to have slain two strong divine power Foreign Race entities within five years, on par with Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, such a deed was rare even throughout the Three Thousand Worlds..." "Only you knew, this strong divine power entity was not merely at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm; its actual combat power had already been comparable to the middle stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" "However, as an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator at the Peak, slaying an early stage Heavenly Immortal was already defying the heavens... If you were to slay a mid-stage Heavenly Immortal, that would be somewhat abnormal..." "Your pursuit was to create enough fame, not to attract unnecessary trouble." "After slaying the second powerful Different Race Deity, your status within Heavenly Demon City grew ever higher!" "Including you, there were only seven Heavenly Immortal level combatants on the front lines of Heavenly Demon City, along with a True Immortal Realm City Lord to guard it..." "Of course, you knew that within Heavenly Demon City, the real trump card was the incarnation of a Heavenly Demon General!" Back in the real world, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, muttering to himself, "Not bad... Now, within Heavenly Demon City, and even in the Little Qingyun Realm, I''ve got quite a reputation!" "But, with my current influence, is it feasible to initiate an alliance of cultivators against the Foreign Race ahead of time?" After some pondering, Su Xing still felt it was not very realistic. Su Xing''s current reputation probably wouldn''t concern the truly powerful cultivators. At most, it might reach the ears of some True Immortals and Profound Immortal Realm Immortals... Chapter 310 Gold Spiritual Root Talent, Five Elements Variant Super Spiritual Root! [8k]_3 Unless Su Xing''s fame could take another leap forward! "Then... it''s time to undergo the breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" Su Xing murmured. The tribulation from Earth Immortal Realm to Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Heart Calamity Thunder Tribulation, was not as troublesome as the Yin and Yang Fire Tribulation. Heart Calamity Thunder Tribulation happens only once, and as long as one withstands that fearsome thunder that intimidates the mind, a smooth ascension to the Heavenly Immortal Realm is assured! "Then, let''s go all out and fight!" A determined light flashed in Su Xing''s eyes as he gazed at the simulation panel. [In the thirty-sixth year, you announced that you were going into seclusion, seeking a breakthrough in your cultivation level...] [After hearing this news, the upper echelons of Heavenly Demon City were greatly shaken, for at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, you already possessed the strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm...] [If you were to smoothly break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, couldn''t you potentially defeat mid-stage Heavenly Immortal Cultivators? At the very least... you''d be invincible in the early stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [But to prevent any accidents, Heavenly Demon City kept this secret for you and provided you with a suitable Daoist retreat appropriate for seclusion.] [Your place of seclusion was located within a great mountain thousands of miles from Heavenly Demon City, an area under the city''s influence where ordinary cultivators dared not approach.] [You took out millions of drops of Spiritual Liquid, consuming them continuously, and the Mana within your body grew increasingly robust!] [With every breakthrough of a realm, an enhancement of Mana is essential, thus naturally, ample resources must be prepared!] [You kept running the Zhengyi Submission Decision, absorbing and refining countless High-grade Spiritual Liquids...] [In the blink of an eye, three years passed by!] [In the thirty-ninth year, after three years of accumulation, the Mana in your body was incredibly dense, like a balloon filled to the brim, unable to contain even a sliver of more Mana...] [Therefore, in this year, you officially began preparations for your breakthrough!] [Your Divine Sense continued to brew, that profound and mysterious sensation coming over you again!] [Seizing the moment, you braced yourself and beckoned the heavenly tribulation thunder!] [As soon as your heart moved, the sky immediately grew tumultuous, dark clouds persistently accumulating, thickening...] [Terrifying thunderclaps, instantly enveloping a thousand miles!] [Soon, cultivators were drawn to these abnormal signs...] [At first, they merely thought it was a normal Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Tribulation, a cultivator wanting to ascend...] [But there were those with piercing insights who recognized at a glance that this was Heart Calamity Thunder!] [Heavenly thunder strikes down without harming the physical body... it only damages the Divine Soul!] [This is a sign of a cultivator breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [And as the heart calamity thunder began to gather, the upper echelons of Heavenly Demon City also breathed a sigh of relief.] [Ever since you declared three years ago that you would go into seclusion to face tribulation, they had been eagerly anticipating.] [But as there had been no movement from you for three years, they almost thought that something had gone awry...] [Yet now, they finally saw the signs of the heart calamity thunder, and the anxiety hanging over the heads of Heavenly Demon City''s high officials was assuaged...] [You sat cross-legged, standing on the mountain''s summit, your gaze piercing the clouds, observing the gathering lightning.] [The lightning seemed as thin as hairs, seemingly powerless, but you still did not dare to underestimate it...] [After a brief moment, the first Heart Calamity Thunder struck...] [Various illusions appeared before your eyes, but you hadn''t even taken a clear look before you had already broken free from the Illusionary Realm, successfully overcoming the first Heart Calamity Thunder!] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and his lips curved upwards. "Tsk tsk, this is the benefit of having a strong Divine Soul and Mind State!" "When I went through the Refining Heart Challenge, I had already tempered my mind state to be incredibly solid... naturally, I could overcome this simple first Heart Calamity Thunder!" "Also, the Divine Soul of the Heavenly Human Realm gives me an absolute advantage in this aspect!"

"Most importantly... the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body naturally restrains illusions and similar unrealities!" "Although it''s just an incomplete Heavenly Thunder Holy Body... it''s completely sufficient!" Su Xing recalled the intelligence on the Heart Calamity Thunder Tribulation in his mind. Heart Calamity Thunder Tribulation, continuing for roughly a month, would send down eighty-six thousand four hundred bolts of lightning! Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire Almost every half-minute, a bolt would strike, and the cultivator would fall into an illusion... Until all Heart Calamity Thunders are passed, breaking through eighty-six thousand four hundred kinds of illusions, one could completely ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Realm! "This round, ah! Riding the dragon right in the face... never mind, better not to jinx it!" Su Xing earnestly watched the simulation panel. [After the first illusion was broken, following closely... the second Heart Calamity Thunder also descended!] [Just in a moment''s time, you smoothly passed through the second illusion...] [Following that, the third... the tenth... the hundredth...] [Time flew swiftly, and before long, it was the eighteenth day of your tribulation, and you were about to meet your fifty-three thousand six hundredth Heart Calamity Thunder!] [In just over half a month, you had already passed through more than fifty-three thousand kinds of illusions!] [The first few days of tribulation had no effect on you...] [But as the number of illusions you passed through increased, the strength of the Illusionary Realm became increasingly formidable!] [Now, for each illusion you passed through, it took about a minute in the Illusionary Realm, yet in reality, only thirty seconds had gone by...] [Fortunately, with the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body at hand, these illusions still posed no threat...] [In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed!] [On the twenty-eighth day, the Heart Calamity Thunder struck down eighty thousand times, and you had also passed through eighty thousand types of illusions...] [With less than three days left to fully overcome the Heart Calamity Thunder Tribulation, only six thousand four hundred kinds of illusions remain!] [Yet you did not relax in the slightest; rather, your nerves tensed up even more!] [Because as the Heart Calamity Thunder Tribulation progresses, the difficulty increases, and the time required to break through each illusion grows longer.] [Initially, at this point, each illusion you passed through took up to half an hour.] Chapter 310 Gold Spiritual Root Talent, Five Elements Variant Super Spiritual Root! [8k]_4 [Just as the illusion was shattered, thirty seconds later, another illusion attacked...] [Continuous illusions constantly devastated and tempered your will!] [If it had been an ordinary cultivator, at this time, it would likely take several days to break free from just one illusion, but your will was exceptionally strong, barely taking half an hour to successfully break it] [As time ticked by every minute and second, you entered and exited illusions continually...] [On the twenty-ninth day, the time it took to break each illusion had already reached an hour.] [In these illusions, it could be demons and evil spirits, seductive enchantresses, wealth and power...] [But all of these could not shake your inner heart, your mind remained steadfast as ever] [At last, time reached the thirtieth day!] [The remaining illusions were also less than a thousand.] [But now, every single illusion required even you several hours to completely break free...] [You went through and shattered illusions over and over again...] [After the eighty-six thousandth illusion passed, it now took you a month to get through each one!] [In these illusions, you saw your family members, companions, Qing Yunzi, Blood Three you saw your deepest fears!] [But you weren''t scared of them; you faced your fears and bravely shattered them!] [Time flew...] [Heart Breaking Heavenly Tribulation unconsciously struck down eighty-six thousand three hundred and ninety times] [At this moment, each illusion kept you for decades... yet the outside world had barely flickered by!] [You could hardly remember how many illusions you had experienced you just knew there weren''t many left!] [On this day, including Heavenly Demon City many cultivators from the outside world were closely watching you!] [Because once you transcended the Heavenly Tribulation, and broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you would become one of the top powers in the entire Little Qingyun Realm!] [Finally, on this day, the Descending Sect made their move!] [Several Heavenly Immortals and Earth Immortal Realm operatives with the code of "Blood" tried to take you down, threatening to kill this prodigy of the White Emperor Tower!] [However, this time in the simulation, you were not alone!] [Several powerful beings from White Emperor Tower and Heavenly Demon City had been watching over you, and even True Immortal Realm powers intervened, shielding you from these relentless attacks!] In the real world, Su Xing also clenched his fists in anxiety. "Heart Breaking Heavenly Tribulation! "The further it went the stronger the illusions!" "Previously, the eighty-six thousand Heart Breaking Thunder and illusions were bearable but the last four hundred, for ordinary cultivators, each one might last a lifetime!" "From eighty-six thousand to eighty-six thousand four hundred, those could be four hundred lifetimes of reincarnation!"

"However before breaking through the Tribulation, Earth Immortal Realm cultivators would consume a Heart Breaking Pill, increasing their chances of success by more than ten percent" "And me, with the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body, naturally restrains the illusions of the Heavenly Tribulation!" After a pause, Su Xing murmured: "Pity, the Heavenly Thunder Holy Body isn''t complete otherwise, I would have an easier time getting through the Heart Breaking Heavenly Tribulation!" "As for the help from Heavenly Demon City and White Emperor Tower" Su Xing''s lips curled up; he wasn''t surprised by this. Or rather, this was one of Su Xing''s goals! If a cultivator at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm with no background tried to breakthrough, the commotion caused by the Heart-Breaking Tribulation would be too significant, easily noticed by other cultivators. Inevitably, some with ill-intentions, like the Descending Sect, might interfere... But, this time in the simulation, Su Xing''s reputation and status were significant enough to persuade White Emperor Tower and Heavenly Demon City to aid him in crossing the tribulation! With the support of these forces, Su Xing could cross the Tribulation without future worries and focus wholly! "Just a few more Heavenly Tribulations to endure, hang in there!" Su Xing''s palms sweated as his eyes focused on the simulation panel! [In a blink of an eye, several more Heavenly Tribulations passed!] [By now, even you were somewhat lost in the illusions, each one... requiring a lifetime to break free!] [In a flash, the last of the Heart Breaking Thunder fell!] [And this time, you fell into a different illusion...] [Within the illusion, you returned to Earth!] [You became that ordinary worker burdened with car payments, the young and old to care for...] [A drunken truck driver, its headlights flashing like daylight... after which, you traveled to Blue Star!] [As a youth, you were carefree...] [Although your parents were ordinary, life in the countryside was still comfortable...] [After a few years, your memory included a clingy little sister...] Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire [But as you grew up, this sister grew more disobedient!] [Until the age of eighteen... you were identified for a hidden profession, a cultivator!] [From then on, you skyrocketed!] [You were specially recruited into the top academic institution of Great Xia Country...] [You yearned to change your family''s fate on your own, to escape that impoverished rural life...] [But, the reality that you could not gain any experience points completely disheartened you!] [Four years in college, you drifted aimlessly...] [From the prodigy you once were, you became a useless person!] [But fortunately, you still had your good friend Fatty Yu your family never despised you!] [Until one day... you regained the ability to gain experience points!] Chapter 310 Gold Spiritual Root Talent, Five Elements Variant Super Spiritual Root!

You lost your best friend, and now, the only thought in your mind was revenge!] [You grew stronger incessantly, striving for that legendary God Level! To utterly exterminate the Foreign Race!] [In the year you turned one hundred, you finally became the God Level Profession User you had always dreamt of!] [But that day... a voice reached your ears!] [You desperately tried to resist... but it was all in vain!] [Your body started to move against your will... whispers filled your ears...] [You saw a sea of blood-red color!] [Just as your consciousness was about to fade away... you broke free from the Illusionary Realm!] [...] [You looked up at the layers of thunderclouds in the sky...] [In an instant, the thunderclouds dissipated, and the sky cleared for miles!] [And your body, too, emitted a startling gold radiance!] [Your Mana continued to surge...] [Congratulations, you have been promoted to a Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivator!] In the real world, Su Xing saw his breakthrough, but his eyes held neither joy nor sorrow. "This last Illusionary Realm... even if I, like an ordinary Profession User, can gain experience, what of it?" "Upgrading according to the process, farming equipment... without the Simulator, without the Luo Tian inheritance, without Jin Congxue, without Luo Shuying..." "Even if I eventually became that God Level Profession User, in the eyes of Red Moon, I am still just a pawn!" Su Xing slightly furrowed his Mei, feeling something was odd. "If the Illusionary Realm is real, doesn''t that mean that the ultimate fate of a Profession User is to become part of Red Moon?" Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Or perhaps... the Profession User is, from the very beginning, a deception created by Red Moon!?" Su Xing vaguely understood more, yet he was not sure... "Or, was this just an Illusionary Realm?" Su Xing slightly shook his head, no matter what, he had successfully passed the Heartbreaking Heavenly Tribulation, becoming a Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivator! "So what comes next... perhaps my status in Little Qingyun Realm will be higher?" "And there is also the honing of the Sword Dao..." Su Xing pondered, his gaze turning toward the Simulation Panel. [After surviving the eighty-six thousand four hundred waves of the Heartbreaking Heavenly Tribulation, you have successfully become a Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivator!] [Your prestige within Heavenly Demon City is unmatched!] [Even the external embodiments of the Heavenly Demon Generals within the city personally received you!] [He expressed that you are a good seedling, not only talented but also a true child of the Human Race with a strong dislike of the Foreign Race, which pleased him!] Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire [You were somewhat flattered by this and then accepted the kindness of the higher-ranking Cultivators within Heavenly Demon City.] [You continued to lead the Tianyuan Army to fight on the front lines!] [Because you knew that in more than ten years, the Red-eyed Foreign Race would appear!] [At that time, the offensive and defensive situation of Little Qingyun Realm would be reversed... hence it was crucial to gain as much advantage as possible right now!] [You led the Tianyuan Army, continually slaying members of the Foreign Race, with millions dying at your hands each year!] [As such, another eleven years passed by...] [In the fiftieth year, a deity from the Foreign Race with Divine Power comparable to the late stages of Heavenly Immortal Realm launched a Sneak Attack against you!] [You did not retreat, calmly leading your troops and successfully counterattacking these members of the Foreign Race!] [After battling with this deity for seven days and nights, you successfully killed him!] [This time, you did not conceal your achievements...] [All of Heavenly Demon City was abuzz, a wave of praise rushing toward you!] [Directly stating that you are the most talented Sword Cultivator seen in Little Qingyun Realm for tens of thousands of years!] [The impact of this was even more exaggerated than when you, at the Earth Immortal Realm, battled against a Heavenly Immortal!] [Not until several months later, you received a message...] [You have been included in the list of the Three Thousand Worlds'' Distinguished Young Masters!] ``` Chapter 313 The Dao of Slaughter, the Star Realm Bows and Submits!【8k】 In the real world, Su Xing''s lips curled up. "Finally, another epiphany has been triggered!" "The comprehension of the Sword Dao has finally reached the initial stage... This can be considered up to par with what''s expected at the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" Su Xing sighed. In the past few months, Su Xing''s strength had increased rapidly, advancing from Human Immortal to Heavenly Immortal in just three to five months. The main advancement was merely in the realm of Cultivation Level! However, comprehension of the Great Dao and Divine Skills, among others, had been somewhat neglected. Usually, cultivators at the Heavenly Immortal Realm have already reached the initial stage of Dao Comprehension, and even the exceptional ones have several Great Daos at this stage! But Su Xing, although he possessed many Great Daos, had yet to master them. Only the Great Dao of Space, and now the Sword Dao from this simulation, had barely reached the initial stage... "Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal Realm... corresponds to the initial stage of Dao Comprehension!" "While True Immortals and Profound Immortals often achieve Minor Achievement in at least one Great Dao!" "At such a level of Cultivation, actual combat power depends not only on Cultivation Level... but also on comprehension of the Great Dao!" "Otherwise, with only Mana and lacking in comprehension, it''s merely a facade!" Su Xing reflected thoughtfully, deciding that progress in Dao Comprehension must become a priority! And with it, the Spirit Domain also needed further strengthening. "Ah, the stages that ordinary cultivators take tens of thousands of years to reach... must involve much accumulation!" "Although my cultivation is fast... ultimately the foundation is still lacking..." Su Xing was clear about his own situation. If his comprehension of the Great Dao fell short, to say nothing of fighting across levels, even at the same realm, it would be difficult for Su Xing to maintain an advantage... "However, it''s unknown how long this episodic epiphany will last! If it could continue for a few more days, I could make even more progress in the Sword Dao!" "If at the Heavenly Immortal Realm... the Sword Dao could reach Minor Achievement, I''m certain that I would not be inferior in actual combat!" So thought Su Xing as he looked towards the Simulation Panel. [Your comprehension of the Sword Dao has entered the initial stage! Yet the episodic epiphany continues...] [Thus, another nine days have passed!] [In these nine days, your daily sword practice was like an obsession, as if receiving a sudden enlightenment, your comprehension of the Sword Dao soaring!] [Just nine days of epiphany are comparable to a century of your diligent practice!] [With the blessing of the Innate Sword Body, a century of your diligent practice is equivalent to five hundred years for an ordinary Sword Cultivator!] [When the state of epiphany gradually faded, a sense of poignant loss arose in your heart...] [But before you could feel regret, you were eager to experience the current progress of your Sword Dao!] [You, alone, headed to the battlefield at the front lines, fighting through the Foreign Race armies with a single sword...] [In three days and three nights, tens of thousands of Foreign Race foes fell by your hand!] [And you, have fully grasped your current comprehension of the Sword Dao!] [Your Sword Dao has improved twofold over what it was before!] [Each strike of your sword has increased significantly in power...] [Although the Body-Protecting Sword Aura remains three thousand layers, you can feel that the Sword Intent contained within is far beyond what it was, and these three thousand layers of the Body-Protecting Sword Aura have far surpassed the previous strength!] [If you were to encounter again that Comparable-to-Late-Heavenly-Immortal-Realm Foreign Race foe, even without resorting to the ''Unethical in Martial Conduct'' talent, you are confident that three thousand layers of the Body-Protecting Sword Aura would severely injure or even kill them instantaneously!] [What excites you even more is that the maximum limit of your Body-Protecting Sword Aura has also increased further!] Discover exclusive tales at My Virtual Library Empire [Now then, you can master even more Body-Protecting Sword Auras... with potential and power both awaiting growth!] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly and said, "Truly worthy of a Sword Cultivator! Unparalleled in offense!" "Now my strongest trump card, three thousand layers of Body-Protecting Sword Aura... should be enough to ensure victory over late-stage Heavenly Immortal opponents!" "If the cultivation continues... and the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras continues to increase, even the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm wouldn''t be insurmountable!" What Su Xing said did not account for the bonus from the ''Unethical in Martial Conduct''... After all, ordinary Heavenly Immortals often already reached the initial stage of a Great Dao, a front where Su Xing held no advantage! But where Su Xing excelled was the stronger offense of his Sword Dao! The combined power of Origin Force and Sword Intent in his Divine Skills! "I just don''t know how far this simulation will go..." Su Xing frowned slightly; although his reputation had grown, he also needed to be mindful of potential unnecessary trouble. His gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [In the 150th year, the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm gradually began to worsen...] [The number of Red-eyed Foreign Race increased, while the Human Clan Cultivators decreased...] [Even during this year, something significant happened!] [A cultivator who was ranked seventy-fourth on the human list, in the early stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, died tragically in an ambush by the Foreign Race, his body still warm...] [This enraged you, as these talented individuals had come admiring your reputation, and now they had died on a mission, which would surely cause concern among other talented cultivators!] [And indeed, after this incident... several elders from their clans sent messages, hoping for their quick return from the Little Qingyun Realm to their family territories!] Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

You can imagine the risk had the Foreign Race learned of this!] [Just when you were regretting your actions, news came from outside the mansion, the Heavenly Demon General requested to see you...] In the real world, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows and murmured: "This sense of killing intent... seems somewhat familiar." Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing vaguely remembered that in a previous simulation, he had fought at Demon-Subduing Pass for decades, eventually grasping something called the rudimentary form of killing intent! Could it be... The changes in him this time were related to killing intent? "Could it be... the Dao of Slaughter?" Su Xing took a deep breath, feeling that the Heavenly Demon General''s reason for seeking him out probably had to do with the changes within him! Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire Thus, Su Xing silently recited: "Activate immersive simulation, duration one day!" [Ding...] Su Xing''s vision changed for a while, and soon he appeared in the Simulated World. Following the memories in his mind, Su Xing quickly found the Heavenly Demon General. The residence of the Heavenly Demon General was peculiarly simple, with a wooden table, two chairs, a wooden bed, all meticulously arranged... Seeing that Su Xing arrived, the Heavenly Demon General gestured for Su Xing to sit down. Su Xing didn''t stand on ceremony, sitting straight across from the Heavenly Demon General. The Heavenly Demon General looked at Su Xing carefully, and then said something surprising: "Su Ye, have you grasped the Dao of Slaughter by enlightenment!?" Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this, not yet clear about the changes in himself, only having suspicions, so he asked humbly: "Master, what is the Dao of Slaughter? I seem to indeed have undergone some changes..." "Subordinates who used to adore me now have a trace of fear in their eyes... And I, at times, can''t control my own killing intent..." The Heavenly Demon General nodded slightly after hearing Su Xing''s words, and said: "That''s right! You have indeed mastered the power of killing intent!" "That battle of yours was too reckless... and it went against military orders!" "For the next fifty years, you should abstain from battle... Hand over your military post to Qin Lei..." "As for you, grasp this power within you well!" Su Xing showed an unnatural expression on his face upon hearing this, if he couldn''t go to the front lines and engage in battle, how would Su Xing save Little Qingyun Realm? As if seeing the unwillingness in Su Xing''s heart, the Heavenly Demon General advised: "The war against the Foreign Race isn''t something that can be resolved overnight... Little Qingyun Realm is just the beginning of this full-scale war!" "Although the Foreign Race is mighty, our Cultivation World is not vegetarian... This full-scale war might last an entire Grand Epoch!" "And you, my disciple... you are a natural leader on the battlefield! Moreover, you have astonishing talent! If you were to fall in this small Qingyun Realm... our Human Race would lose a crucial fighting force in the future conflict against the Foreign Race!" "Now, what you need to do... is to digest this power, digest this killing intent!" "Killing intent is also the Dao of Slaughter! It is extremely suited to actual combat!" "Unlike all other Great Daos... the Dao of Slaughter, the Dao of War, these types of Great Daos, can only be comprehended on the battlefield!" "Once you fully master this power, you''ll truly have an absolute advantage, as natural on the battlefield as a fish in water!" Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this, but also inquired: "Master, how can I fully master this killing intent?" ``` Chapter 313 The Dao of Slaughter, the Star Realm Bows and Submits!【8k】_3 After hearing this, the glare in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon General intensified, and a terrifying aura burst forth from him, nearly halting Su Xing''s breathing. Just a few breaths later, the Heavenly Demon General reined in his imposing aura, his lips curling up as he said, "It so happens that I, too, have mastered the Dao of Slaughter!" "The process of mastering the Dao of Slaughter... was far more arduous for me than it was for you!" "I had ventured alone into the Outer Realm, battling for a thousand years before finally shaping the Dao of Slaughter!" "Afterward, I spent three thousand years cultivating my nature until I had truly mastered this power..." "Unlike you, young fellow, who mastered such power just from one battle and a fainting spell of about a month, even I am envious of that!" He paused for a moment before advising, "In the next several decades, you should stay within Heavenly Demon City and cultivate your spirit." "Once you have fully mastered this power... or if the situation in Little Qingyun Realm becomes dire... I will find a way to send you out!" Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this and then stood up to take his leave... After Su Xing had left, the external incarnation of the Heavenly Demon General muttered to himself, "Su Ye... could you be the variable in the Three Thousand Worlds'' fight against the Foreign Race?" "Why... do I feel a sense of familiarity and closeness from him?" ... The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality. "Indeed, was it the Dao of Slaughter? This simulation was truly an unexpected joy!" A complex expression appeared on Su Xing''s face, his original goal for this simulation was to advance his Cultivation Level to the Heavenly Immortal Realm! However, now he had unexpectedly comprehended the Dao of Slaughter! And listening to the tone of the Heavenly Demon General... the Dao of Slaughter seemed extremely powerful! At the moment, Su Xing faced a choice, whether he should pursue the realm of Heavenly Immortal or the Dao of Slaughter. He did not hesitate for long before quickly making up his mind! Clearly, the Dao of Slaughter was the better choice! This opportunity could be described as accidental... if he missed this chance, he was unsure if another simulation could trigger it again! "So now... I''ll just stay in Heavenly Demon City to cultivate my spirit, and in the meantime solidify my cultivation..." Su Xing''s gaze returned to the simulation panel. [After bidding farewell to the Heavenly Demon General, you know you are about to master a new power, the intent to kill!] [You must now spend time to fully grasp these powers!] [Thus, you calmly remained in your cave dwelling, practicing Qi Refining Cultivation for one hour each day, and practicing Sword Dao for two hours...] [With the remaining time, you cultivated some Spirit Plants, Spiritual Medicines, or crafted Elixirs and Talismans...] [Initially, your mind often wandered during the Alchemy process, invoking an inexplicable urge to kill!

"Good, it seems mastering the killing intent is also in stages..." Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire "From being difficult to master at first, to wielding it freely... eventually, it should be possible to fully release the killing intent, thus leading to a boost in combat strength." He paused for a moment, a trace of worry flashing through his eyes. "However, this simulation is nearly at its end!" "Having reached the one hundred ninety years mark in the simulation... how much longer can Little Qingyun Realm hold on? Has Qing Yunzi already sensed my presence?"

The best strategy was to preserve the living forces and shift the battlefield!] [Thus, shortly after you announced the formation of the Anti-Foreign Race Alliance, countless cultivators responded within just a few years!] [Among the cultivators ranked fifty to one hundred in the Heavenly Pride List, seven expressed their willingness to join the alliance.] [And among those ranked in the top fifty, four also showed their willingness to fight together against the Foreign Race!] [With the reputation associated with the twentieth rank on the Heavenly Pride List, your influence was beyond imagination, easily mobilizing cultivators from dozens of worlds near the Little Qingyun Realm...] [In the one hundred and ninety-eighth year, White Emperor City announced the formation of the Human Clan Cultivator Alliance to collectively counter the Foreign Race!] [That same year, an official from White Emperor Tower found you and discussed with you the locations for resisting the Foreign Race!] [After several discussions, you decided to shift the frontline to the Star Realm!] [You originally thought this move would face strong opposition from the cultivators of the Star Realm, as the local cultivators here were uniformly xenophobic!] [But unexpectedly, the cultivators of the Star Realm particularly despised the Foreign Race, not only agreeing to build fortresses within the Star Realm, but many tribes also responded in droves, declaring their addition to the Anti-Foreign Race Alliance!] [In no time, the momentum of the Anti-Foreign Race Alliance was unprecedentedly powerful!] [In the two hundredth year, Heavenly Secret Pavilion and Money Guild were both willing to offer you support!] [This support was not limited to spirit stones, spiritual liquid, magical treasures, and elixirs... Money Guild also expressed willingness to establish a Void fleet, shuttling between Cangwu Realm and Star Realm every ten years to provide logistical support for you!] [Within just ten years, the momentum to resist the Foreign Race started to manifest clearly.] [Taking Star Realm as the core frontline, with Yellow Sand Realm and Beast Realm forming defensive horns, cultivators from these three neighboring worlds formed a battle line to jointly counter the Foreign Race!] Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire [And the commercially prosperous Cangwu Realm served as a logistical supply transit station, continuously providing resources and manpower support to the frontline cultivators...] [After learning this information, you were pleasantly surprised in your heart, which meant that with your personal influence, as long as your reputation was enough, you could really advance the formation of the Human Clan Cultivator Alliance!] In the real world, Su Xing''s eyes lit up with surprise. "The cultivators of the Human Clan...finally came around!" "Following this trend, even if the three lines of defense cannot withstand the Foreign Race, could they hold out for hundreds of years?" "That means... perhaps after handling the simulations properly, the duration of the simulations could skyrocket by hundreds of years!" Su Xing felt relieved in his heart, at least there was hope, and they wouldn''t be gradually devoured by the Foreign Race without any power to resist. "So, the greatest threat right now still comes from Qing Yunzi and the Descending Sect... that is indeed a problem. I wonder if it can be resolved?" Su Xing fell into deep thought. To eliminate the crisis Qing Yunzi was facing, there was only one way! That was to find a way for Qing Yunzi to sever the Three Corpses! Qing Yunzi was currently in the critical phase of reverse severing the Three Corpses... Previously, Qing Yunzi had severed the Good Corpse, and was currently severing the Self Corpse. If Su Xing could help Qing Yunzi preserve the Self Corpse and sever the Evil Corpse first, perhaps the crisis could be removed! "Sigh...but with my current reputation, it''s probably still not enough... unless I can leverage it, letting Qing Yunzi sever the Evil Corpse first!" Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows. In this simulation, his identity in the Three Thousand Worlds barely qualified as, a newly listed company''s boss, possessing some strength and connections. But Qing Yunzi, he was like the CEO of a top ten company in the world... The two were not on the same level, and Su Xing had no right to ask Qing Yunzi to sever the Three Corpses again... "Increasing prestige in the simulation is still the main direction moving forward, but the pace needs to be faster!" "Best to truly make a name for myself in the Three Thousand Worlds within the next thirty to fifty years of simulation!" "As my strength continues to grow... this should be achievable!" Su Xing thought this as his gaze turned towards the simulation panel. [In the two hundred and first year, your understanding of the Dao of Slaughter deepened, and your mastery also became more profound.] [That year, the Little Qingyun Realm finally fell completely behind, and you no longer hesitated, boarding an Immortal Boat heading to the Star Realm...] [The Heavenly Demon General prepared an Immortal Boat for you, an Acquired Treasure, with a capacity to accommodate thousands of cultivators.] [You brought some cultivators and Heavenly Pride subordinates into the Immortal Boat, and then activated the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, taking your family and friends to the Star Realm...] [After a year of Void travel, in the two hundred and second year, you successfully arrived in the Star Realm.] [At that time, in the Star Realm, the construction of frontline defensive facilities was progressing fervently.] [Various high-level formations were set up, various frontline defensive barriers were constructed, and hundreds of thousands of cultivators were practicing, constantly on guard against the invasion of the Foreign Race.] [Especially the cultivatorsnative to the Star Realm, their deep loathing for the Foreign Race was profound, and many tribes sent Tribulation Crossing and even Immortal Realm cultivators to support you.] [You were very grateful to these tribes...] [In the two hundred and third year, you contacted the top ten tribes of the Star Realm and discussed with them matters of jointly countering the Foreign Race.] [Although these tribes were xenophobic, they respected you deeply at heart, as a genius listed on the Heavenly Pride List.] [Among these top ten tribes, surprisingly, there were twenty to thirty Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, with over ten of them at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] Chapter 313 The Dao of Slaughter, the Star Realm Bows and Submits!【8k】_5 [Even more astonishing, among these tribes, there are three elders who have stepped into the True Immortal Realm!] [These tribes expressed their willingness to provide land, material support for the alliance, and also to directly participate in the great undertaking of fighting the Foreign Race!] [In gratitude to these tribes, you took out the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method you restored and bestowed it upon them!] [After receiving the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, the tribes of the Star Realm were all shocked!] [That Cultivator of the True Immortal Realm received the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method with disbelief, and after examining it carefully for a moment, his hands trembled with excitement...] Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire [It was almost inconceivable that a grand Cultivator of the True Immortal Realm could hardly hold onto a book...] [Eventually, the eyes of this Cultivator of the True Immortal Realm turned red, and he was on the verge of tears!] [Once he had repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, he actually knelt down in front of you, in the presence of the surrounding Cultivators!] [He openly declared that you were the benefactor of the entire Star Realm! From then on, no matter which tribe, all would treat you with the highest honors!] [This Cultivator of the True Immortal Realm was said to have lived for eighty thousand years, and clearly knew some secret matters, he told you not to hurry, and after he had verified it, he would inform all several thousand tribes of the Star Realm!] [After bidding farewell to these tribes, your days passed by, one after another, and you continued to master the Dao of Slaughter!] [So, two years passed...] [In the two hundred and fifth year, that elder who had ascended to the True Immortal Realm came to find you, inviting you to attend the Celestial Assembly!] [The Celestial Assembly is a tradition of the Star Realm, only convened in matters of life and death, when all tribes of the Star Realm must send representatives to participate!] [A few days later, you accepted the invitation to attend the Celestial Assembly!] [At the assembly, you truly witnessed the profound foundation of the Star Realm!] [As one of the oldest of the Minor Thousand Worlds, having existed for several grand cycles, its history was even older than some of the Great Thousand Worlds!] [That day, more than eight thousand tribes participated in the assembly, with over fifty thousand Cultivators in attendance!] [All these Cultivators were powerhouses above the Immortal Realm!] [Among them, there were over five thousand Cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm!] [Nearly a hundred were in the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [And more than ten were True Immortals presiding!] [Upon understanding the true foundation of the Star Realm, you were astonished; this secluded Star Realm, a lineage of the descendants of ancient Star Witches... had a depth even surpassing many of the Middle Thousand Worlds!] [At the Celestial Assembly, you were the indisputable main character!] [You learned that the elder who had lived for eighty thousand years was known as Star Slave...] [You didn''t know why an elder of the True Immortal Realm would have ''Slave'' in his name, but he wasn''t ashamed; in fact, he took pride in it!] [At the Celestial Assembly, the one named Star Slave announced to the representatives of all tribes the authenticity of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method!] [And from that point on, you were truly the benefactor of the Star Realm! Over eight thousand tribes... All Cultivators, as long as it didn''t go against their principles, would strive to fulfill your requests...] [During the assembly, tens of thousands of Immortals shed tears in turn... their passion was astonishing to you.] [You were shocked by the importance of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method and once you inquired about it, the old man explained the reason.] [Originally, several grand cycles ago, the ancestors of the Star Realm had migrated and lost the Great Celestial Observation Method during the process!] [Fortunately, they retained the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, and all Cultivators of the tribes could practice it!] [With the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, the Cultivators of these tribes could harness the power of the ancestral stars and reach up to the Golden Immortal Realm at most!] [But as time passed, the tribes started to divide... The complete Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method was lost, and the cultivation of the Star Realm could only reach up to the True Immortal Realm at most...] [And with your gift of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, not only did you help the Cultivators of this realm to rediscover the technique left by their ancestors, remaining honorable to their forebears!] [But you also cleared the path for the future Evolution of these Cultivators, allowing them to ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm!] [Even more so, one day, the Star Realm might be able to rise again as a Middle Thousand World!] S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Heavenly Demon General''s external incarnation met with an accident... it must be heavily related to the Foreign Race!" S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It seems that even if we summon cultivators from the Three Thousand Worlds to defend, the Little Qingyun Realm cannot escape destruction." "However, to persist until the two hundred and fiftieth year without destruction, that too can be considered breaking a record!" Su Xing estimated that if Qing Yunzi didn''t intervene, he could lead the Tianyuan Army to retreat to the Star Realm and possibly simulate up to three hundred years later! By then, the simulation lasting for three hundred years would be enough for Su Xing to bring back more cultivation level and insights each time... "But will Qing Yunzi really not intervene?" Su Xing sighed inwardly, having lost the protection of the Heavenly Demon General, it probably wouldn''t be long before Qing Yunzi came knocking. With a bit of reluctance in his heart, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the two hundred and fifty-fifth year, you led a large number of cultivators and retreated to the Star Realm.] [In the two hundred sixtieth year, you received news that the entire Little Qingyun Realm had fallen... The Foreign Race''s encroachment on the Three Thousand Worlds had progressed even further!] [In the two hundred and sixty-first year, one day your fortune-avoiding talent sent out a frantic warning.] [One day later, Qing Yunzi came to your door.] [Qing Yunzi performed a Soul Search on you...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] Looking at the cold text in front of him, Su Xing let out a long sigh and muttered: "It really is like losing a battle!" "After retreating from the Little Qingyun Realm... Just ten years, and it''s completely fallen?" Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire "Qing Yunzi... is always the hanging sword above my head!" After pausing, Su Xing sternly regained his confidence. "But there''s still plenty of time, everything is still manageable!" "When the day in the real world arrives... I definitely won''t repeat the same mistakes!" Su Xing''s gaze turned to the rewards of this simulation. [Five Elements Super Spiritual Root]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 Origin Energy Points. [Eighty million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid]: Priced at 800,000 Origin Energy Points. [Third Layer Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivation]: Third Layer of Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, enjoys a lifespan of forty thousand years, Mana as profound as celestial beings... Priced at 100,000 Origin Energy Points! [Prototype of the Great Dao of Water]: Priced at 30,000 Origin Energy Points. This time, Su Xing immersed himself in the simulation for two hundred years, and many rewards of the insight type had already been taken out early. This was so he could bring out resources of High-grade Spiritual Liquid as well as Spiritual Root talents! So, without any further hesitation, Su Xing silently thought: "I choose to bring out the Spiritual Root Talent... as well as eighty million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid!" [Ding, Talent of the same type detected, auto-replacing...] [Congratulations on bringing out the Five Elements Super Spiritual Root, costing 10 Origin Energy Points, remaining Origin Energy Points 1,766,318...] [Congratulations on bringing out eighty million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid, costing 800,000 Origin Energy Points, remaining Origin Energy Points 966,318...] After the two notification sounds, a mysterious energy entered Su Xing''s body. Su Xing''s Spiritual Root quality was elevated in an instant, and his speed of sensing Five Element Spiritual Energy and the Great Dao, further increased! Moreover, in Su Xing''s hand, there also appeared an extra Storage Ring. Divine Sense entered the Storage Ring, it was filled with precisely eighty million drops of Spiritual Liquid! "Damn, that instant expenditure of eight hundred thousand Origin Energy Points... it really hurts!" Su Xing grimaced for a while. "But fortunately, these eighty million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid... added to my current savings, the total number of Spiritual Liquid has reached nearly a hundred million!" "With this, combined with the Spiritual Liquid obtained during the simulation... I no longer need to worry about Spiritual Liquid for cultivation in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, or even True Immortal Realm!" Su Xing felt that it''s better to suffer the pain soon, acquiring Spiritual Liquid earlier is more beneficial for the improvement of his future cultivation level! "Then, the next step is to fully enhance my cultivation level and break through to the True Immortal Realm as soon as possible!" Su Xing muttered. ... After extracting the rewards from this simulation, Su Xing changed his appearance and went to trade with Lu Yuanwu. Another twenty thousand Origin Energy Points were obtained, and Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave. In the Spirit Field Cave this week, Su Xing didn''t continue crafting puppets but started crafting Elixirs, Talismans, and even began Artifact Refining! "Based on the current progress... if things go well, maybe in two to three months, I can reach the True Immortal Realm!" "At that time... the Luo Tian Realm will be inherited by me, and it will also be necessary to take a trip to the Little Qingyun Realm!" "I don''t know how long this trip to the Little Qingyun Realm will take, but it will at least require three to five months!" "Therefore, I must prepare enough goods for the puppet organization to trade!" Currently, apart from the Great Xia Country, the puppet organizations in the remaining Six Countries Twelve Domains brought Su Xing nearly three hundred thousand Origin Energy Points each month! When Su Xing lacked energy, he could naturally go to collect goods and exchange for energy. But such a huge amount of Origin Energy Points required a vast amount of goods each month to trade! Lifespan Extension Pills, Fifth Rank or above Talismans, Spiritual Treasures... various precious Elixirs became the most popular materials! Su Xing prepared to get these items ready in advance. So, in the following week, Su Xing decided to first craft Lifespan Extension Pills! He first took out several hundred ordinary Ginsengs, He Shou Wu, and other medicinal herbs... Afterward, Su Xing activated Wood Type immortal power, and in just one night, he matured the age and medicinal properties of these items to above a thousand years! Then Su Xing spent six more days to craft three thousand Lifespan Extension Pills, all of supreme quality, each extending life by five years! "Three thousand Lifespan Extension Pills... should definitely be enough for some time in the future!" Su Xing sealed the Lifespan Extension Pills and stored them, preparing to hand them over to the puppet organization before heading to the Three Thousand Worlds. Seeing that there was still half a day until the time agreed with Jin Congxue, Su Xing took out the Spirit Brush and materials, and began to engrave an Eighth Rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array on his own body! Chapter 317 Supreme Treasure Five Elements Earth, Daoist Yellow Sands Legacy!【8k】_2 Several hours later... the eighth-rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array had been successfully set up. Su Xing felt that his speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy had increased by another twenty to thirty percent compared to before... "Not bad, with my Five Elements variant Super Spiritual Root, my cultivation speed is now on par with ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators!" "If combined with the eighth-rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array, even if it''s not as good as the Space Spirit Root, it''s not far behind..." "But if I take into account the enhancement afforded by special physiques like the Fiery Flame Divine Body, my cultivation speed will be even slightly higher than that of the Space Spirit Root!" Su Xing had made a simple assessment of his own talent. For the vast majority of cultivators in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they possess the Super Spiritual Root talent. Cultivators with the Space Spirit Root are already considered geniuses within the Heavenly Immortal Realm, with a chance to make a breakthrough into the True Immortal and even the Profound Immortal Realm! With Su Xing''s Spiritual Root combined with his special physique and talent, and the eighth-rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array, his cultivation speed was also at the genius level within the Heavenly Immortal Realm! "With various talents enhancing me, my cultivation speed is roughly three times that of ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators!" "Plus the Inborn Unique Meridian talent... my cultivation speed is at least five times that of an ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator!" "With the sevenfold increase in cultivation speed from the Zhengyi Submission Decision... that''s thirty-five times!" "And with the continuous supply of Spiritual Liquid, it''s dozens of times faster than ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators!" Pausing, Su Xing said with some excitement: "And in seventy-seven years... when my Great Talent Maturing Late trait activates, my cultivation speed will be more than a hundred times that of an ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator!" Excitement flickered in Su Xing''s eyes. A single year of cultivation could match a hundred years of effort by cultivators of the same realm! Ordinary cultivators at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm usually take between three thousand to five thousand years to break through the first layer of their realm! However, the time Su Xing needed, was only thirty to fifty years (after the activation of Great Talent Maturing Late)... "I need to cultivate as quickly as possible to the True Immortal Realm, of course, I can''t neglect the progress in comprehending the Great Dao either!" Checking the time, Su Xing went to the villa area to meet with Jin Congxue. That day, Jin Congxue wore a pink long dress, a rare girlish outfit that made Su Xing''s eyes light up. "Here, the goods for this week, Su Xing... be gentle, will you!" Jin Congxue said somewhat lazily, inadvertently revealing a patch of fair skin on her chest. Su Xing skillfully took the storage ring and exchanged it for Origin Energy. After handing over the goods for the week, Su Xing began to massage Jin Congxue. Wood-type immortal power relieved the fatigue in Jin Congxue''s body and a passionate kiss at the end made her cheeks flush with a red hue. The relationship between the two now was just one step away from breaking through that final barrier... ... After saying goodbye to Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave to prepare for the new week of simulation. "This time, my cultivation level needs to be further improved... and also, I need to find a way to comprehend more of the Five Elements Dao!" Su Xing had a clear goal, and all the subsequent simulations were to pave the way for ascending to the True Immortal Realm. The simulation time cooldown was complete, and Su Xing silently recited: "Begin simulation!" [Simulation 118 starting, current remaining Origin Energy points are 1,021,122...remaining simulations unlimited.] [Simulation commencing!] [Extracting the Golden Legendary Talent will cost 1 Origin Energy point, would you like to extract?] Su Xing thought for a moment, as he still had several Golden Talents he had yet to choose. Such as the Water Spirit Divine Body, the Yimu Divine Body, the Yellow Earth Divine Body... sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. These Divine Bodies were extremely good talents. Therefore, Su Xing did not choose to draw a new talent, but instead chose to draw out the Yimu Divine Body first. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing had already reached the embryonic realm in his comprehension of the Great Dao of Wood, and to progress to the rudimentary stage was a matter of urgency. [Ding, you have successfully drawn the Golden Talent Yimu Divine Body, simulation starts!] [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are in a simulation...] [Ten days later, you visited the Luo Tian Instance and benefited greatly.] [After advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you already have a presence like that of a god on Blue Star, not even the yet to be revived Red Moon could easily annihilate you.] [But you dare not take it lightly; your biggest threat now comes from the future, from beyond Blue Star!] [You must break through the realms as much as possible in the limited time you have, and your next target is the True Immortal Realm!] [You begin to cultivate in Qi Refinement day after day.] [Under the effect of the Zhengyi Submission Decision, your cultivation speed is extremely fast, one year of cultivation can match thirty-five years of arduous practice for ordinary cultivators!] [However, this assumes a sufficient supply of Spiritual Liquid; you need 700,000 drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid for each year of cultivation...] [Thus, ten years pass.] [In the tenth year, your Cultivation Level successfully reaches the second layer peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [You go to the Beast Taming Realm, preparing yourself for breaking through to the third layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [In the twentieth year, your Cultivation Level further breakthroughs, advancing to the third layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [The same year, you killed Damned Dragon, left Blue Star, and went to the Three Thousand Worlds.] [After arriving at the Little Qingyun Realm, you adeptly sold intelligence, eradicated a branch of the Descending Sect, and earned over twenty million drops of Spiritual Liquid.] [Having done all this, you have no intention of staying in the Little Qingyun Realm, but are ready to find a place suitable for your own cultivation...] [And your first stop is the Blackwater Realm!] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly and said. "In order to inherit the Luotian Legacy, I must first break through to the True Immortal Realm!" "And to break through to the True Immortal Realm, in addition to my Cultivation Level, I also need sufficient comprehension of the Five Elements Dao!" "The Five Elements Dao, cultivating it in the appropriate world, will certainly be twice as effective!" "For example, to cultivate the Great Dao of Water... if it''s in the Blackwater Realm, where the water Spirit Qi and water Dao are abundant, it would be easier to cultivate..." "The Great Dao of Earth... maybe it''s easier to cultivate in the Yellow Sand Realm?" Chapter 317 Supreme Treasure Five Elements Earth, Inheritance of Daoist Yellow Sand!【8k】_3 ``` "But where is the best place to cultivate the Dao of Gold? This will need further exploration..." Su Xing decided that in this simulation, he would try to clearly identify the best locations for cultivating the various elemental paths, so that in the future, he could cultivate more efficiently with half the effort! With this thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [After arriving in the Blackwater Realm, you immediately went to the sea caves and obtained millions of drops of high-grade Spiritual Liquid.] [In the Blackwater Realm, the Spiritual Energy of water is extremely abundant, and you can feel your understanding of the Great Dao of Water deepening.] [Yet even within the Blackwater Realm, the comprehension of water varies by region.] [Therefore, you decide to explore this realm while cultivating, looking for the place where the Great Dao of Water is most abundant...] [You ventured to the depths of the ocean, thousands of feet below the surface, and continued your exploration.] [Thus, five years passed.] [In the twenty-fifth year, you finally discovered the largest ocean beneath the Blackwater Realm, and within it, a sea-eye several tens of thousands of feet deep!] [The area around this sea-eye is saturated with an incredibly dense water Spiritual Energy and essence of the Great Dao of Water!] [For Water Spirit Root Cultivators, comprehending here would indeed be twice as successful with half the effort!] [But at such great depths, there are also many terrifying sea Demonic Beasts!] [These beasts are as large as mountains and fiercely aggressive, possessing strengths ranging from the Human Immortal Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm!] [Fortunately for you, these Demonic Beasts pose no significant threat.] [After careful consideration, you marked this place as your future cultivation site for the Great Dao of Water.] [In the twenty-sixth year, you left the Blackwater Realm to seek your next cultivation site.] [Without any hesitation, you headed to the Yellow Sand Realm!] [In the Yellow Sand Realm, the skies are filled with drifting sands... The Great Dao of Earth and the Great Dao of Fire are highly concentrated, particularly suitable for Earth Spirit Root Cultivators!] [You begin to seek the location in the Yellow Sand Realm where the elemental earth is the most abundant.] [Naturally, your first choice is the largest desert within the Yellow Sand Realm!] [There, the desert spans a million miles, and the climate is harsh; with so many Demonic Beasts, not even Human Immortals would dare to set foot there lightly.] [After searching for several years, you find that although the earth element is abundant in the center of the desert, it still does not meet your expectations.] [Despite your reluctance, you decide to leave the Yellow Sand Realm and continue exploring other worlds.] [But just as you were about to head to Yellow Sand City to purchase some special metal mineral ores, you were surprised to find that the city, located in an oasis, was exceptionally rich in Spiritual Energy and essence of the Great Dao of Earth!] [Releasing your Divine Sense, you keep sensing the source of this essence...] [Ultimately, you discover that this essence of the Great Dao of Earth comes from deep beneath the Yellow Sand Realm!] [Thus, you employed the "Earth Travel Technique" Divine Skill, burrowing into the base of the oasis to investigate further!] [To your astonishment, you discovered an enormously vast palace deep beneath the Yellow Sand Realm, tens of thousands of feet undergroundan existence you''ve never encountered before!] [This palace is filled with traces of the cultivation world of Ancient Times, its age unknown, weathered by the years, yet standing unyielding!] [You try to probe the inside of the palace with your Divine Sense, but your efforts are blocked by a layer of prohibitions...] [After carefully performing several divinations, you deduce that: the palace holds both opportunity and danger, and although there are risks, great benefits could also be gained!] [After confirming that your talent for avoiding danger did not issue a life-or-death warning, you decide to venture into this palace...] Back in the real world, Su Xing felt stirred by this revelation. "Could it be that beneath Yellow Sand City... lies a secret realm from Ancient Times?" "The history of the Yellow Sand Realm is also quite lengthy... It''s not out of the question that a great cultivator may have emerged during Ancient Times!" "Perhaps in this secret realm... there might be many treasures to find!" Su Xing was somewhat expectant as his gaze returned to the simulation panel. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire [After passing through the palace''s external prohibitions, you enter it successfully.] [The plaque above the palace gates bears three large characters: Yellow Sand Hall!] [And on either side of Yellow Sand Hall stand two colossal, golden humanoid statues.] [These two statues, both clad in heavy armor and wielding spears, stand like guards, protecting the grand Yellow Sand Hall!] [You linger outside the great hall for a moment before stepping inside...] [Just then, a sudden change occurs!] sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Your task: Slay the two Yellow Sand guardians!] [Your heart stirs, and you summon three thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura around yourself, then you engage in combat with the two Yellow Sand guardians.] [A fierce battle breaks out, and in one-on-two combat, you fight hundreds of exchanges in quick succession!] [You''re astonished to find that the two Yellow Sand guardians possess the strength of a mid-stage Heavenly Immortal!] [And this is after their strength has waned due to the passage of time...

[Ding...] Su Xing''s vision blurred and then he found himself in an ancient palace bearing the marks of many years. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire The palace walls were adorned with murals, lamps, and decorations, all cast from yellow sand! Yet its opulence was no less than that of a mortal emperor''s palace! "A secret realm from beneath the Yellow Sand City... might as well explore it!" Su Xing blinked, and at the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in his ear. "Congratulations on passing the first trial, defeating the Yellow Sand Guardians..." "The reward for the first trial, Five Elements Earth!" As the announcement in the hall finished, a platform appeared at the center of the hall. Su Xing focused his eyes and saw that atop the platform was an ancient-looking box. After a moment''s hesitation, Su Xing wrapped himself in body-protecting sword aura and used his Origin Force to open the box. Inside the box was a fill of strange soil that shimmered with a golden luster, like gold. Moreover, there was a voice retaining Jade Slip within the box, besides the soil. "Is this... the Five Elements Earth?" Su Xing took a quick breath as memories flooded his mind. "Five Elements Earth... ranked ninth on the Acquired Treasures list! A rare and supreme treasure indeed! It is rumored to be connected to the Innate Treasure, the Breath Soil!" Su Xing took out the Jade Slip and read the message within. An ancient voice entered Su Xing''s ears. "I am Daoist Yellow Sand! I roamed the Qingyun Realm for 186,000 years, and my name carried quite a reputation... alas, plotted against by the treacherous, my lifespan is shortened... thus I leave behind my legacy!" "If juniors can pass the three trials I have set up, they can inherit my legacy!" "First trial, congratulations on your smooth success!" "Within this box lies a portion of Five Elements Earth, accidentally obtained by this poor Daoist." "It can be used for Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and nurturing spirits... It even has the ability to bestow intelligence onto puppets! A true Acquired Treasure... use it well!" Message after message poured into Su Xing''s mind, who took in a deep breath and muttered to himself, "To think it is... a legacy left by a Daoist!" Su Xing felt quite astonished in his heart, as the title of "Daoist" wasn''t one that just anyone could possess! Because "Daoist" means that one has at least reached a state of Minor Achievement in a particular Great Dao! Dao Comprehension, from the initial inklings of the Great Dao to the first insights... and then Minor Achievement, Great Integration... to the true state of the Great Dao! Among these, the initial inklings usually correspond to the Human and Earth Immortal Realms. First insights are related to the Heavenly Immortal Realm and some True Immortals! Minor Achievement typically corresponds to the Realm of True Immortals and Profound Immortals! As for Great Integration... at least it signifies a Cultivator at the peak of Profound Immortal Realm, just one step away from entering the Golden Immortal Realm! sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "So, this Yellow Sand Hall, is it a legacy left by at least a peak Profound Immortal, or even a Golden Immortal!?" There was a slight excitement in Su Xing''s eyes. If he truly obtained the entire legacy of a Daoist, his heritage would increase greatly! First, Su Xing carefully stored away the Five Elements Earth. Such Earth was a great treasure indeed! As Daoist Yellow Sand had said, this soil could be used in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and nurturing spirits, making it truly versatile! For crafting elixirs, the Five Elements Earth contained life force, which could heal injuries and enhance one''s comprehension of the Five Elements Dao, among other benefits. And as for Artifact Refining... Su Xing turned his gaze to the two Yellow Sand Guardians he had defeated. "The materials used to craft these two Yellow Sand Guardians... seem to have some of the Five Elements Earth in them?" "Five Elements Earth can even elevate the grade of a puppet by a significant margin!" Su Xing thought for a moment and then took the two puppets into his storage space. "As for nurturing spirits, outside of the Breath Soil, the Five Elements Earth could surely be considered the most precious soil!" Innate Treasure Breath Soil, it is said, is suffused with a rich life force capable of reviving the dead! No matter the Spirit Plant or its value... as long as it''s planted in Breath Soil, it can thrive, grow, and rapidly mature! As for Five Elements Earth... while not as exaggerated in effect as the Breath Soil, it could be considered a watered-down version of it... With this Five Elements Earth, Su Xing would be able to plant more Spirit Plants within it, thereby accelerating their growth and improving their chances of survival! Combined with Su Xing''s talent as a "Descendant of Shennong," the effect was sure to be outstanding! "Stumbled upon treasure with this Five Elements Earth!" Su Xing was in high spirits, but before he could rejoice for long, another mechanical voice echoed in the hall. "Congratulations on passing the first trial. The second layer of the trial will begin shortly..." "Trial content: Defeat two Heavenly Immortal Realm peak Yellow Sand Scorpions!" As the mechanical voice ended, mechanisms seemed to emerge within the hall. Su Xing''s mind tensed, and as the dust stirred in front of him, a huge Yellow Sand Scorpion burst forth from the ground. Its body was as large as a hill, and its massive pincers, bringing gusts of wind and flashing with a crimson light, viciously snapped at Su Xing. With each step of the gigantic scorpion was the tremble of the hall floor. Su Xing swiftly dodged the first wave of the Yellow Sand Scorpion''s assault, but he was somewhat on guard inside. "Hm? What''s going on... Weren''t there supposed to be two Yellow Sand Scorpions? Why is there only one?" "Could the other one be hiding in the dark?" "No, something''s not right... It was supposed to be a Heavenly Immortal Realm peak Yellow Sand Scorpion... why does the aura of this one seem like it''s only at a late stage of Heavenly Immortal Realm?" In just an instant, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Su Xing''s mind, but before he could ponder deeply, the Yellow Sand Scorpion in front of him attacked once again. "Well, let''s deal with this Yellow Sand Scorpion first!" Taking a deep breath, Su Xing engaged in combat with the Yellow Sand Scorpion and remained vigilant for the possible emergence of another hidden scorpion. Chapter 317 Supreme Treasure Five Elements Earth, Daoist Yellow Sands Legacy!【8k】_5 Su Xing unfolded the prototype of his Spirit Domain, moving like lightning, repeatedly teleporting and dodging with agility, while his sword radiated light like a rainbow, engaging in a fierce battle with the Yellow Sand Scorpion. Sword shadows intertwined with scorpion shadows, each collision sounding like thunderous explosions, making the entire Yellow Sand Hall tremble. The battle lasted for hundreds of rounds, with Su Xing''s figure flickering in and out of visibility within the sandstorm. His sword danced faster and faster, revealing his initial understanding of the realm of Sword Dao, each strike seemingly pinpointing the scorpion''s weaknesses. Finally, Su Xing unleashed a thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura, piercing through the gaps in the Yellow Sand Scorpion''s exoskeleton, directly targeting its vital points. With a piercing scream, the formidable Yellow Sand Scorpion finally fell, its flesh instantly turning into a mound of sand grains, leaving only its shell behind. After killing the first Yellow Sand Scorpion, Su Xing remained vigilant, constantly scanning the grand hall with his Divine Sense. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire However, after thorough observation, he confirmed that there were no hidden Yellow Sand Scorpions. Meanwhile, a voice echoed through the hall. "Congratulations on passing the second layer of the trial... Reward: Supreme Treasure, Yellow Sand Sculpture!" As the mechanical voice in the hall concluded, another platform rose up, displaying a palm-sized, exquisitely detailed sculpture. Armed with previous experience, Su Xing guided the Origin Force to take the Yellow Sand Sculpture into his hands, his face revealing a look of delight. "Yellow Sand Sculpture... It contains a rich essence of The Great Dao of Earth! This is exactly the Supreme Treasure of the Dao that I need!" Su Xing''s lips curled up in a smile, finding what he needed effortlessly. With this Yellow Sand Sculpture, if Su Xing cultivated in this Yellow Sand Hall, his perception of The Great Dao of Earth would undoubtedly soar. "However, it is indeed strange... Why, in the assessment, are there only one of the two peak Heavenly Immortal Realm Yellow Sand Scorpions left, and its Cultivation Level isn''t at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm?" Su Xing puzzled inwardly, knowing well that living beings and puppets are different. Puppets might weaken over years of neglect, leading to reduced strength. But living beings typically grow stronger with age! This Yellow Sand Hall might have existed for an eon... Having lived so long, why has the scorpion''s power actually diminished? "Wait... An eon?" "Could it be... the original Yellow Sand Scorpions have died, and this one before me is their offspring, hence its weaker strength?" Su Xing nodded slightly, feeling that this explanation was undoubtedly the most reasonable! "Now... only the last test remains. I wonder why?" As Su Xing pondered, another mechanical voice echoed through the hall. "Yellow Sand Hall third-layer assessment, talent evaluation... Please place both hands on the stone platform!" Following the voice, a semi-human-height stone platform rose in the center of the hall. This ancient platform was engraved with mysterious runes, seemingly capable of assessing a cultivator''s talent. Standing before the stone platform, Su Xing felt a bit apprehensive, having been tormented by the Descending Sect''s talent assessment before. After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing placed his palms on the runes. The stone platform then raised a gold needle, easily piercing Su Xing''s skin, drawing a droplet of blood. Immediately, the runes on the platform emitted a dazzling light, and it began to vibrate gently, releasing a burst of mysterious power, the gold light forming into words. "Qi Refinement: Third Layer of Heavenly Immortal Realm; Body Refinement, early stage of Heavenly Immortal Realm; Age below ten thousand years, Cultivation Level assessment, top grade!" "Five Elements variant, Super Spiritual Root, possesses Earth Type Super Spiritual Root, talent evaluation, high grade!" "Detecting target possesses Special Physique... Deepening analysis..." "Detected target possesses the Fiery Flame Divine Body... Wood Divine Body... Acquired Taoist Body..." "Overall talent evaluation, superior!" "Inheritance match degree analysis... Overall matching degree, high grade!" "Second layer Treasure Vault accessible... After reaching True Immortal Realm, can inherit the complete legacy!" A series of notifications rang out in Su Xing''s ears. Su Xing blinked, then his eyes showed a hint of strangeness. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "They can even detect all my Divine Bodies?" "But it seems they can only detect up to an age of ten thousand years?" "Why then a superior evaluation... but the matching degree is only high grade?" Su Xing frowned slightly, but quickly collected his thoughts. "Daoist Yellow Sand, in seeking an inheritor... looks not only at talent but also the degree of match with his legacy!" "Though I possess many Divine Bodies, I lack an Earth Type Divine Body... Naturally, the match isn''t perfect with Daoist Yellow Sand''s legacy..." "It''s a pity that I have to wait until reaching the True Immortal Realm to inherit all of Daoist Yellow Sand''s legacy..." Just then, Su Xing suddenly recalled something, murmuring: "Wait! I still have an unclaimed talent... the Earth Divine Body!" "If..." Su Xing''s eyes brightened, thinking that maybe next time, he might be able to inherit all of Daoist Yellow Sand''s legacy. Chapter 318 The Legacy of the Golden Immortal, A Treasure Vault That Will Make You Gape in Awe! ``` At this moment, a mysterious teleportation array appeared beneath Su Xing''s feet. A few breaths later, Su Xing disappeared from the spot. Following that, Su Xing appeared inside a splendid palace treasure vault. As soon as he entered the vault, Su Xing was stunned. Because in a palace constructed of yellow sand, this treasure vault was simply a paradisiacal land! No, this was definitely a Dongtian Secret Realm! Inside the secret realm, a hundred-zhang-tall mountain stood, all snow-white... A stream meandered down from the mountain. "Hisss~ Is this mountain a Spirit Stone Mountain?" Su Xing''s eyes widened, stunned by the extravagant sight before him. Approaching the mountain, Su Xing chipped away a piece of rock, and sure enough, it was a high-grade Spirit Stone! Su Xing''s Divine Sense swept over the entire mountain, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire "This entire mountain, it''s all made of Spirit Stones!" "Not only high-grade Spirit Stones... but also low-grade, mid-grade... even top-grade Spirit Stones exist!" Su Xing blinked, estimating that just this one Spirit Stone Mountain, if converted into high-grade Spirit Stones, would be worth at least a hundred million! And that stream trickling down from the Spirit Stone Mountain, that was no ordinary stream! It was clearly droplets of high-grade Spiritual Liquid! "Hisss~ Does this stream not contain hundreds of measures of Spiritual Liquid?" Su Xing''s eyes widened... A measure of Spiritual Liquid was roughly two million drops... A hundred measures would then be two hundred million drops of Spiritual Liquid! Su Xing took a closer look, then felt somewhat disappointed. "What a pity... they are merely low-grade Spiritual Liquid... If it were high-grade, that would have made a fortune!" Beside the Spirit Stone Mountain and the rivulet of Spiritual Liquid, those countless flowers and plants were all exotic treasures and herbs! Many of them were even of Immortal Grade! In the treasure vault, apart from Spirit Plants, Spirit Stones, and Spiritual Liquid... there were also hundreds of various Magical Treasures, with the lowest being of Spiritual Artifact grade, and there were even more than ten Immortal Treasures! Besides these, there were also several Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills... Unfortunately, for Su Xing, these Cultivation Techniques and Supernatural Powers, though good, were not as strong as the ones he was practicing himself! "Just a second-class treasure vault... and it contains such terrifying treasures, how many resources would a first-class vault have?" Su Xing was somewhat speechless, the items in this second-class vault were equivalent to all the possessions of a Profound Immortal Realm cultivator! Su Xing didn''t stand on ceremony and swiftly collected all these treasures, along with the turf and the Spirit Stone Mountain, the Spiritual Liquid... into his personal portable Dongtian. ... The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality, his face barely able to hide his elation. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "The Yellow Sand Realm... truly is my Blessed Land!" "Not only did I find a secret realm suitable for the comprehension of the Great Dao of Earth... the resources there, if fully acquired, would likely mean that I wouldn''t need to worry about cultivating in the True Immortal Realm!" Su Xing''s expression was excited, with this treasure vault, Su Xing wouldn''t need to hustle for resources like ordinary cultivators with each simulation. Just by cultivating peacefully, the peak of the True Immortal Realm was within reach! "Tsk tsk... No wonder those cultivators are so enthusiastic about Secret Realms! This feeling of overnight riches is just too wonderful!" Su Xing blinked; what he obtained was only a second-class treasure vault, how terrifying would it be to be in control of a first-class one? Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze turned toward the simulation panel. [After taking out all the items from one of the treasure vaults in the Yellow Sand Hall, a teleportation array lit up under your feet... you were teleported to the midst of Yellow Sand City.] [You silently noted this location, then continued to cultivate in the Yellow Sand Realm for a while.] [In the thirtieth year, you left the Yellow Sand Realm and traveled to the farther Star Realm.] [You left the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method in the Star Realm.] [In the thirty-second year, you arrived at the Tianyin Realm.] [You took away the legacy of the Tianyin Realm, but the Dao Essence of the Great Dao in this realm was ordinary, not suitable for Dao Comprehension.] [Thus, you set off again, heading to the further Yin Wood Realm!] [Indeed, as you expected, the Dao Essence of the Great Dao of Wood in the Yin Wood Realm was extremely rich, at least three times more than that of ordinary worlds!] [And in different locations... the richness of the Dao Essence of Wood varied.] [You spent several years searching, and finally determined that the roots of the Divine Tree in the Yin Wood Realm were the area where the Dao of Wood was richest!] [Cultivating here, your sensitivity to the Dao of Wood far exceeded previously!] [One year of cultivation here, your comprehension of the Great Dao of Wood was worth more than five years of hard cultivation in other worlds!] [You decided, this was the place you wanted for cultivation.] [But now was still not the time to formally start cultivating...] [Before that, you needed to visit the Tianyuan Realm, firstly to purchase Space Origin Stones... and also to find a final place suitable for the comprehension of the Dao of Gold!] [So, you traveled through the Void toward the direction of the Tianyuan Realm, years went by...] [In the thirty-seventh year, you arrived smoothly at the Tianyuan Realm!] [You quickly found the Money Guild, displayed your Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation level, and chose to exchange the Blackwater Flag for a fist-sized Space Origin Stone.] [Having exchanged for the Space Origin Stone, you went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion wanting to buy intelligence on worlds related to the Dao of Gold!] [This intelligence was ranked letter B, and after paying several million high-grade Spirit Stones... you successfully obtained it!] [The location of the intelligence was in a Middle Thousand Worlds known as the Gold Wheel Realm!] [This realm was north of the Tianyuan Realm, distanced by thirty Void Nodes away.] [According to the intelligence, this realm was not only rich in the Metal Type Dao, but also possessed a special mineral known as Gold Essence Stone, which could aid in the comprehension of the Dao of Gold!] [You planned a route... ready to navigate toward the Gold Wheel Realm and explore it first.] ``` Chapter 318 The Legacy of a Golden Immortal – The Astonishing Treasure Vault!_2 In the real world, Su Xing felt his heart stir. "Jinlun Realm... Gold Essence Stone? This is indeed good news!" "If the intelligence is accurate, then I have gathered all the places of cultivation for the Five Elements Dao!" "All it takes is time to ponder the Dao... and I shall step into the True Immortal Realm!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and said, "However, the Spirit Field Cave bestowed by Qing Yunzi has not yet been severed... It is also time for me to create my own personal space." Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. [After leaving the Tianyuan Realm, you found a relatively stable void and took out the Space Origin Stone, ready to create your own personal space.] [Thus, three years passed quickly.] [In the fortieth year, you successfully created a personal Blessed Land with a radius of two hundred zhang, and after transferring the Spirit Plants and Spirit Soil into it, you destroyed the Spirit Field Cave gifted by Qing Yunzi.] [Moving forward, you steered the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat toward the direction of Jinlun Realm.] [After entering the third layer of Heavenly Immortal Realm, your mana became even deeper. Within three years, you crossed numerous worlds, over thirty Void Nodes, and arrived at Jinlun Realm smoothly!] [As expected, Jinlun Realm was full of a solemn killing aura, as if it were a battlefield from Ancient Times.] [Using your talent in dragon vein divination, you searched for the so-called Gold Essence Stones.] [In the forty-fifth year, you found a vein of Gold Essence Stones. Not only was the Metal Type Dao dense here, but there were also plenty of Gold Essence Stones, more than enough for your cultivation needs!] [In the following five years, you stayed in Jinlun Realm to explore and marked many worthy cultivation places.] [In the fiftieth year, you decided to leave Jinlun Realm and return to Yin Wood Realm for cultivation!] [The Yin Wood Realm is quite a distance from Jinlun Realm, nearly seventy Void Nodes away.] [It took you five years to traverse the void, steering the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, and you finally reached the Yin Wood Realm!] [You came to the root area of the Divine Tree in the Yin Wood Realm, where there was a massive city.] [After paying a certain amount of Spirit Stones, you purchased a cave dwelling and cultivated within.] [In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.] Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire [In the sixtieth year, your Cultivation Level reached the middle phase of the third layer of Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [Now your yearly cultivation needs for High-grade Spiritual Liquid have reached one million drops, but fortunately, the Spiritual Liquid accumulated previously was enough for this period of cultivation.] [In the eightieth year, your Cultivation Level reached the late phase of the third layer of Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [That same year, your Great Talent Maturing Late talent triggered, doubling your cultivation speed, and the Spiritual Liquid consumed each year also amounted to two million drops!] [The nearly infinite resources, hundreds of times faster cultivation speed than ordinary Cultivators, made your Cultivation Level advance by leaps and bounds.] [In the ninetieth year, your Cultivation Level reached the peak of the third layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [You didn''t hesitate and immediately prepared to break through to the middle phase of the Heavenly Immortal Realm...] [After ascending to Super Spiritual Root, your aptitude surpassed your past by a great margin, and this breakthrough was very lucky, a success in one go!] [Yet, even so, it took a full three years!] [In the ninety-third year, congratulations on becoming a Cultivator of the fourth layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [After advancing to the fourth layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the amount of Spiritual Liquid you consume each year for cultivation increased... the High-grade Spiritual Liquid spent each year approached nearly three million drops!] [In the one hundred and fifth year, your Cultivation Level reached the middle phase of the fourth layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm...] [In the one hundred and twentieth year, your Cultivation Level reached the late phase of the fourth layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] In the real world, Su Xing smacked his lips and murmured, "The feeling of rapidly increasing Cultivation Level is really exhilarating!" "In just a few decades... it''s equivalent to over five thousand years of arduous cultivation by an ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivator!" "But... it still requires ample resources... with such speed of cultivation, one simulation consumes Spiritual Liquid by the billions, enough for an ordinary Heavenly Immortal to cultivate all the way from the initial phase to the late phase of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" However, high investments yield high returns! Su Xing was open-minded about this, as with each Simulation reset, his resources would also reset. Thus, there was no need to worry about a lack of resources in the short term. "But... my previous comprehension of The Great Dao of Wood has already reached the nascent form of the Great Dao... In this simulation, it''s time to go further!" After some reflection, Su Xing wondered if fifty years of Immersive Simulation could be enough to elevate him to the threshold of the Dao? Su Xing chose the talent of the Yi Wood Divine Body this time, and his comprehension of The Great Dao of Wood was many times more than that of an ordinary Cultivator. Combined with the acquired Taoist Body, his comprehension of The Great Dao of Wood was about tenfold. With the boost from the Great Talent Maturing Late talent, it was twentyfold! Plus the strong Wood Type Dao Essence of Yin Wood Realm and the support from the Supreme Treasure, the Fusang Tree Branch! At the very least, it was a thirty or fortyfold increase in comprehension speed! "One Spirit Awakening Pill... plus fifty years of Immersive Simulation, that''s sixty years!" "Equivalent to two thousand years of an ordinary Cultivator''s comprehension of the great dao! Should be enough!" With this thought, Su Xing did not hesitate any longer and murmured, "Use Immersive Simulation... for a duration of fifty years!" [Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation for fifty years, consuming 18,250 Origin Points, leaving you with 1,000,2991 Origin Points...] As the simulation notification sound faded, Su Xing found himself in an unfamiliar environment. Looking around, even the roadside weeds grew dozens of zhang high, as if entering a fantastical kingdom of plants. With a light breath, the rich Wood Type Spiritual Energy seemed to make Su Xing feel years younger. In that verdant exuberance, there was an abundance of the Wood Type Great Dao''s Origin! "Indeed, this is definitely a great place for comprehending The Great Dao of Wood!" With joy on his face, Su Xing didn''t hesitate and immediately began his comprehension of The Great Dao of Wood. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 318 The Legacy of a Golden Immortal, A Treasure Vault That Leaves One Speechless!_3 Years of cultivation flowed quietly like water. But Su Xing still underestimated the difficulty of Dao comprehension! Until the 49th year of immersive simulation, Su Xing had not yet entered the initial realm of the Great Dao of Wood... "It seems I can''t save the Spirit Awakening Pill..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, then took the Spirit Awakening Pill and activated the Great Wisdom State. Then, astonishing comprehension descended upon Su Xing. In just one month, Su Xing finally entered the early comprehension realm of the Great Dao of Wood! ... The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality. Because this simulation was focused on comprehension and cultivation, Su Xing did not feel much time had passed. "Not bad, fifty years of immersive simulationbreaking through to the initial insights of the Great Dao of Wood, and even saving about one hundred thousand points of Origin Energy Source, that''s a big win!" A smile appeared on Su Xing''s face, this successful breakthrough in Dao comprehension confirmed that his approach was correct! As long as Su Xing was well-prepared, he could use immersive simulation to quickly break through realms and save resources and time. "Currently, the Great Sword Dao, Great Dao of Space, Great Dao of Thunder, and the Great Dao of Wood... I have entered the initial insight realms of these four paths, not only has my combat power greatly increased, but I am also not far from the Five Elements Dao linked to the Spiritual Root..." Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. According to his next plans, the goal was to attempt to break through as much of the cultivation level as possible to reach higher realms! Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With this in mind, Su Xing looked towards the simulation panel. [Year 170, your comprehension of the Great Dao of Wood has reached the initial insights realm!] [As always, you aggressively cultivate, obtaining many resources of Spiritual Liquid from the Secret Realm of the Yellow Sand Hall.] [Your cultivation speed continues to be extremely swift.] [Year 190, your cultivation level reached the fourth peak realm of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [You begin preparations to break into the fifth layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm...] [Year 195, you successfully break through! Congratulation, you''ve become a Heavenly Immortal realm Fifth Layer cultivator!] [After reaching the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the time required for increasing your cultivation becomes increasingly lengthy, perhaps taking five to six thousand years for ordinary Heavenly Immortal realm cultivators to advance to another Layer Realm.] [But for you, it''s merely decades.] [Year 215, your cultivation level reaches the mid-phase of the Heavenly Immortal Realm Fifth Layer.] [Meanwhile, you''re also somewhat anxious, knowing that Qing Yunzi is definitely searching for you.] [Therefore, you prepare to flee to a further world... Regrettably, the performance of the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat after several uses is far from what it used to be.] [You spend five years and painstakingly arrive at the Golden Wheel Realm.] [You cultivate in the Golden Wheel Realm, and in the blink of an eye, another decade passes...] [Year 230, one day your talent for avoiding disaster goes off like crazy.] Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire [The next day, Qing Yunzi finds you...] [Qing Yunzi performs a Soul Search on you...] [You die!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing sighed. "Pity, still couldn''t escape Qing Yunzi''s pursuit..." "Just a little more, just a bit more!" "Once I reach the True Immortal Realm... to inherit all of Luo Tian Sect, there would be a big change in the situation now!" Su Xing pondered, during the next while, he still needed to enhance his understanding of the Cause and Effect Grand Dao. "Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method... After collecting, there was indeed neglect in cultivation, leaving Blue Star, I still need to use this method..." After thinking for a moment, Su Xing looked towards the rewards from this simulation! [Yi Wood Divine Body]: Golden Talent, sale price 10 Energy Origin points. [Low Grade Spiritual Liquid one billion drops]: sale price 10,000 Energy Origin points. [High-grade Spirit Stone one billion pieces]: sale price 1,000,000 Energy Origin points. [Heavenly Immortal Realm Fifth Layer cultivation]: Heavenly Immortal Realm Fifth Layer cultivation, with a lifespan of forty thousand years, Mana as profound as celestials... sale price 300,000 Energy Origin points! [Comprehension of the Space Dao]: After exchange, greatly enhances your comprehension of the Space Dao, sale price 120,000 Energy Origin points. [Personal Miniature Realm]: Two hundred paces in diameter, opened by Su Xing using the Space Origin Stone, sale price 20,000 Energy Origin points. [Yellow Sand Sculpture]: an Essence of Dao Supreme Treasure, containing the comprehension of the Great Dao of Earth, sale price 700,000 Energy Origin points. [Five Elements Earth]: one cubic meter, capable of nurturing spirits, refining artifacts, and alchemizing, ranked ninth on the list of Acquired Treasures, sale price 100,000 Energy Origin points. This simulation, Su Xing indeed obtained quite a few good items. "Five Elements Earth... ranked ninth among Acquired Treasures, it''s only valued at one hundred thousand Energy Origin points?" Su Xing thought for a moment, surmising that it''s due to the small quantity. However, apart from the Five Elements Earth, various Spiritual Liquids, Spirit Stones... even the Yellow Sand Sculpture, all were excellent treasures. "But these items, there''s no rush to retrieve them immediately..." Su Xing did not hesitate, he silently declared: "I choose to take out the Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation... and the Yi Wood Divine Body talent!" [Ding, congratulations for successfully taking out the Yi Wood Divine Body talent... costing 10 Energy points, remaining Energy Origin 1,000,2981 points!] [Ding, congratulations for successfully taking out the Heavenly Immortal Realm Fifth Layer cultivation... costing 300,000 Energy points, remaining Energy Origin 700,2981 points!] As the simulation notification sound ended, two streams of energy flowed into Su Xing''s body. The Yi Wood Divine Body became Su Xing''s twenty-fourth talent, with now only one remaining talent slot left. With the addition of the Yi Wood Divine Body, Su Xing''s efficiency in sensing Wood Spirit Qi increased, and his aptitude also received a slight boost. Naturally, the greater change was the feedback from Su Xing''s Heavenly Immortal Realm Fifth Layer cultivation! Heavenly Immortal Realm Second Layer... Heavenly Immortal Realm Third Layer... Heavenly Immortal Realm Fourth Layer! Su Xing''s cultivation level surged from the early stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the middle phase! Chapter 318 The Legacy of a Golden Immortal – The Astonishing Treasure Vault!_4 Finally, he had become a Heavenly Immortal Realm Level Five Cultivator! Su Xing sat cross-legged, guarding his mind. After reaching Heavenly Immortal Realm Level Five, he felt that his cultivation and mana had doubled in density. "Now, even without using my ''Unethical in Martial Conduct'' talent, I am capable of killing cultivators at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" "The top ten of the Celestial Ranking... should have a place for me!" "I just don''t know... with my ''Unethical in Martial Conduct'' talent, could I kill a True Immortal Realm cultivator?" Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow, still unsure about this. The divide between the Heavenly Immortal Realm and the True Immortal Realm was significant, as a True Immortal''s understanding of the Great Dao far surpassed Su Xing''s. Yet, Su Xing''s Divine Skills and Body-Protecting Sword Aura were still threatening to early-stage True Immortal cultivators! "With my current power, at least facing a True Immortal Realm cultivator... I have the confidence to fight!" Su Xing thought to himself. After choosing this simulation''s reward, Su Xing glanced at the time, then, disguising himself and hiding his aura, he conducted a transaction with Lu Yuanwu. Twenty thousand Origin Energy Source per week was indeed a substantial income. Once the transaction was completed, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave and began crafting Talismans for the new week. With his current power, he could craft up to Eleventh Rank Talismans, even severely injuring or killing Human Immortal Realm cultivators! However, crafting such Talismans required much time and effort, and Su Xing might not even manage one a week. Therefore, he chose to craft some lower-rank Talismans. Mainly Fifth to Eighth Rank Talismans, among which Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Rank Talismans, Su Xing could sell. As for Eighth Rank Talismans, Su Xing chose to keep them for the Puppets to use for protection. Quickly, a week passed. Su Xing spent the days and nights crafting Talismans, producing over one hundred and eighty Fifth Rank Talismans. Seventy-three Sixth Rank Talismans, twenty-eight Seventh Rank Talismans, and six Eighth Rank Talismans. Su Xing temporarily stored these Talismans and, upon his departure from Blue Star, the earth''s Puppet organization''s operations could not be halted. "Following this pace, after crafting for three more weeks... gathering over a thousand Talismans should suffice for three to five months of trade!" Su Xing murmured to himself. Afterward, Su Xing went to a villa area and met with Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue was dressed in a purple coat today, the versatile queen making another appearance. The two ate and chatted while handling their business. Su Xing looked into Jin Congxue''s eyes and asked, "Sister Xue... have you ever thought that we Profession Users might be pawns of some powerful being?" Jin Congxue showed a confused expression upon hearing Su Xing''s words. Su Xing sighed internally, knowing that it was still too soon to tell Jin Congxue these things. Then, changing his thought, he said, "Senior sister, remember the powerful strength I told you about? It could make you a powerful cultivator! No need to level up by grinding experience anymore..." Jin Congxue nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, I remember what you said!" Su Xing continued to ask, "Sister Xue, acquiring this power... perhaps at the cost, one day, you will lose your status as a Profession User!" Su Xing already had plans in his mind. With Red Moon being so powerful, leaving countermeasures for Profession Users, Su Xing naturally could not let them be manipulated. At least, the people Su Xing cared about had to sever their Cause and Effect with Red Moon, no longer threatened by it! S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although he still did not know the exact method, with the vastness of the Three Thousand Worlds, there must be a solution. Therefore, his current thought was to give Jin Congxue a chance! To let Jin Congxue become a cultivator first and gradually eliminate her dependence on being a Profession User. And now, Su Xing conveniently had an unused Wood Fire Heavenly Spirit Root Talent, which he could give to Jin Congxue! Su Xing chose Jin Congxue not only because they were close but also because Jin Congxue''s position was fraught with more dangers in the future! "Losing the strength of a Profession User..." Jin Congxue seemed to think of something and asked, "Just like you? If I become a Cultivator, we''ll truly be one of our own, right?" Before Su Xing could reply, Jin Congxue smiled brightly and said: "I''m willing! As long as I can be a little closer to you..." Su Xing, moved by Jin Congxue''s earnest expression, said, "Sister Xue..." Su Xing knew what Jin Congxue''s answer meant and the great determination it conveyed! Heavenly King level Profession Users had a lifespan of five hundred years and were truly significant figures on Blue Star! However, because of a single sentence from Su Xing, Jin Congxue was willing to give all that up for the gamble of an unknown future... Considering this, Su Xing took a deep breath and seriously said, "Sister Xue, you won''t regret today''s choice..." ... After returning from the villa, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave. Undoubtedly, Su Xing gifted the Heavenly Spirit Root to Jin Congxue! He also inscribed an Eighth Rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array at the Dantian in Jin Congxue''s abdomen. Aside from that, Su Xing also gave Jin Congxue a hundred thousand drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid, tens of thousands of High-grade Spirit Stones, several defensive magical treasures and divine techniques... Moreover, Su Xing personally helped charge Qi into Jin Congxue''s body, enabling her to reach the Qi Training Realm in a mere moment! Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire It wasn''t an exaggeration to say that Jin Congxue''s starting point in cultivation was much higher than Su Xing''s had been! With talent surpassing a Super Spiritual Root, countless resources, and guidance from a powerful "Peak Cultivator" like Su Xing! Even amongst the top sect maiden saints of the Three Thousand Worlds, few could receive such treatment! "Really, it''s annoying how some have all the luck!" "But then again... one should certainly cherish their own woman!" Corner of Su Xing''s mouth couldn''t help but curl into a smile. Soon, the simulation cooldown was completed, and Su Xing prepared for a new round of simulation. "This simulation, I can''t let my Cultivation Realm slip; but more crucial, the treasures in the Yellow Sand Hall! A first-class Treasure Vault!" Su Xing felt a surge of excitement. On December 23, 2025, Su Xing initiated a new round of simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Simulation 119 initiated, remaining Origin Energy Source is 759,332 points Unlimited remaining simulation attempts.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, proceed with the draw?] Su Xing did not choose to draw the Golden Talent. After all, heading to the Yellow Sand Hall and getting a first-class treasure vault, Su Xing needed to enhance his Earth Type Spiritual Root talent! Thus, Su Xing decided to spend a few Origin Energy Source points to draw the Earth Divine Body talent! [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the talent: Earth Divine Body, simulation begins!] [Within the Spirit Field Cave...you realize you''re simulating!] [Ten days later, you had a fruitful visit to the Luo Tian Instance!] [With previous experience, you didn''t plan to stay long on Blue Star and quickly headed to the Three Thousand Worlds!] [In a week, you exterminated the entire Descending Sect, killed the Damned Dragon, and acquired many resources.] [You left behind several Puppets, an Eleventh-Rank Talisman, enough for Blue Star to handle the second wave of invasions from Different Race Deities...] [After looting the Blood Demon Realm, you took your relatives and friends to the Little Qingyun Realm...] Chapter 320 Climbing to the Fourth Place on the Tianjiao List, The Plan to Save Qing Yunzi! In the real world, Su Xing''s lips curled upward. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire "Revealing my true identity and leading the loose cultivators to crush the Descending Sect would probably be the fastest way to make a name for myself..." Su Xing slightly closed his eyes, quickly calculating the feasibility of this plan. "I need to gain fame as soon as possible... best if I can break into the top ten of the prodigy rankings! Then, using the identity of Su Ye, I''ll go to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and explain the situation regarding Qing Yunzi!" "If successful... I could leverage the major powers to pressure the Qingyun Sect, forcing Qing Yunzi to exit his seclusion earlier and protect his own corpse!" "If not... then I''ll flee to other Minor Thousand Worlds and lay low to cultivate!" Su Xing clenched his fists; this was just his speculation. Whether it would succeed or fail, he couldn''t be sure. But to extend the simulation time and change the situation of the Three Thousand Worlds, restoring Qing Yunzi was a must! With this thought, Su Xing turned his gaze towards the Simulation Panel. [Year Five: In just a few years, you have wiped out ten branches of the Descending Sect and even killed two Earth Immortal Realm peak members of the sect!] [Your reputation has spread throughout the Little Qingyun Realm...] [One day, while cultivating in your cave, a premonition of doom suddenly arose in your heart, and you felt a tingling pain in your glabella, your innate talent for sensing danger alarmed you.] [After divination, you foresaw an imminent disaster!] [This tribulation wasn''t lethal... If handled properly, it could even bring benefits.] [You knew it might be the Descending Sect targeting you!] [Having ravaged the branches of the Descending Sect, there''s no doubt you''ve foiled their grand plans! They are likely to send some experts to assassinate you...] [You feign ignorance, continuing to cultivate quietly within the White Emperor Tower.] [Thus, three months passed...] [You could feel that someone was always watching you in secret, but the assassin of the Descending Sect did not act rashly.] [You knew that within White Emperor City, the Descending Sect would not dare to take rash actions... This strengthened your belief that the strength of this assassin was likely below the True Immortal Realm!] [So, a week later, you pretended to go to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to collect spiritual medicine, leaving a trail deliberately...] [As expected, the assassin from the Descending Sect took the bait!] [He followed you all the way into the mountains...] [Once you entered the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the Descending Sect''s assassin launched a sneak attack without hesitation!] [A streak of silver light turned into a dart, hurtling straight towards your face in an instant...] [At the same time, you sensed a stealthy presence nearby.] S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Just as the silver dart was about to strike you, you were triggered and a Body-Protecting Sword Aura instantly unfolded!] [Three thousand strands of the Body-Protecting Sword Aura wrapped around you, completely blocking the silver dart!] [Yet a solemn expression appeared on your face because the Aura transmitted a corroding sensation, and eight hundred strands shattered in an instant.] [The black liquid entwined around the Aura was evidently poisonous!] [Seeing this, you took a deep breath. Had you been careless enough to be hit by this hidden weapon, even a Heavenly Immortal Realm peak cultivator would have been left powerless!] [But fortunately, you were ever vigilant, and your powerful Body-Protecting Sword Aura defense came to your rescue.] [Missing their strike, the lurking assassin immediately fled, and a hundred miles away from you, a sign of spatial fluctuation emerged...] [Of course, you wouldn''t let the assassin escape at ease. He wanted to kill you, and you also wanted to kill him to build your name!] [Your thoughts triggered the power of space around you, and in just a moment, you appeared a thousand miles away.] [Watching the distorted space, you unleashed your mana. Suddenly, a short and skinny figure stumbled out in disarray...] [The assassin had the appearance of a petty old man, but his aura was already at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [You didn''t dare hesitate... the battle was imminent!] [Luckily, although the assassin''s sneaking techniques were formidable, his direct combat ability was quite lacking.] [After battling for hundreds of rounds, you struck him down with your sword, killing him on the spot!] [After killing the assassin, you took possession of his Storage Magical Artifact.] [You easily broke the Prohibition on the Storage Magical Artifact and found the items inside.] [There were just a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones and over a hundred thousand drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid, nowhere near what you''d expect from a Heavenly Immortal Realm peak cultivator.] [However, what interested you was the collection of various poisons, hidden Magic Artifacts, even a set of flying needles reaching the level of top-grade Immortal Treasure!] [You also found a token in the belongings of the assassin!] [To your surprise, the assassin was not a member of the Descending Sect, but a top assassin named "Rain 23" from the "Wind and Rain Tower!"] [The proof was a token engraved with the word "Rain" on one side and the number "twenty-three" on the other...] Back in the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow. The assassin''s Storage Magical Artifact held few resources, which didn''t surprise Su Xing as assassins on a mission risked failure and would not carry a lot of wealth or resources. But Su Xing was slightly surprised by the assassin''s identitya killer from the Wind and Rain Tower! "Wind and Rain Tower, huh... I didn''t expect even such a major power to get involved!" Su Xing frowned slightly, as he had a basic understanding of the forces and situations in the Three Thousand Worlds. The Blue Star where Su Xing resided was actually part of what used to be the Luo Tian Realm... and the Luo Tian Realm, with its command over countless Minor Thousand Worlds... hundreds of them, was known as the Luotian Domain! This was the nomenclature from Ancient Times... But after that war, the Luo Tian Sect was defeated and the Luotian Domain no longer existed. And the Great Domain neighboring the Luotian Domain was the Qingyun Domain! The Qingyun Domain refers to the entire Great Domain, consisting of the Qingyun Realm, the Tianyuan Realm as the core Great Thousand Worlds, including hundreds of surrounding Minor Thousand Worlds and countless smaller worlds... Chapter 320 Climbing to the Fourth Place on the Tianjiao List, The Plan to Save Qingyunzi!_2 In the Qingyun Realm, the two major native forces were naturally the Qingyun Sect and the Tianyuan Sect! These two forces belonged to the more orthodox major powers. However, in the Three Thousand Worlds, not all major powers were on the side of righteousness... Besides factions like the Descending Sect, which everyone agreed deserved destruction, there were also many forces that were neither completely righteous nor outright evil, or even neutral! Among these, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Money Guild, and the White Emperor Tower were very famous; these three powers were considered absolutely neutral, hardly ever interfering with conflicts or annexations between cultivator factions. Aside from the Money Guild, where money talked and could "make a ghost turn a millstone", if a power was willing to pay a steep price, the Money Guild would also make a move in secret. But the Money Guild was comparatively restrained and thus maintained a rather decent reputation in the Cultivation World. The truly profit-driven and morally ambiguous force was the Wind and Rain Tower! The Wind and Rain Tower''s founding date was unclear... It became famous initially some eons ago when it accomplished an earth-shattering feat! They accepted a mission to assassinate a Daluo Golden Immortal! Although the mission ultimately failed... that Daluo Golden Immortal, after being assassinated and recovering from injuries for a hundred thousand years, reappeared in the Three Thousand Worlds... previously thought to have died and fallen! With the disappearance of that Daluo Golden Immortal for a hundred thousand years, the power he had established was also devoured and emptied... After this, the Wind and Rain Tower''s reputation soared! It became one of the top forces in the Three Thousand Worlds overnight! Su Xing knew that the assassin code names of the Wind and Rain Tower were divided into ''Wind'' and ''Rain''; each code-named assassin was an elite of the Wind and Rain Tower! As for whether there were higher-ranked assassins above ''Wind'' and ''Rain'', Su Xing did not know... A ''Rain'' code-named assassin was able to assassinate anyone below the Profound Immortal Realm, including all cultivators in the True Immortal Realm, with a very high success rate! Assassins code-named ''Wind'' were even more terrifying, capable of killing even Golden Immortals! It was rumored that the Wind and Rain Tower accepted missions regardless of the client''s identity or the target''s status; as long as the profit was sufficient, they would carry out the assassination! Flashes of intelligence crossed Su Xing''s mind as he frowned and said, "It seems... I''ve made it onto the hit list of the Wind and Rain Tower!" "The Descending Sect must have paid a steep price to get the Wind and Rain Tower to take action..." Su Xing felt somewhat troubled. A single assassination attempt wasn''t much to worry about. But what concerned Su Xing was that the Wind and Rain Tower''s attempts were relentless! If the first attempt failed, the Wind and Rain Tower might send even more elite assassins for the next attempt! Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. That was assuming... the Descending Sect could afford it. "Things are getting tricky!" "I don''t know how determined the Descending Sect is to kill me... If they continue to raise the stakes and engage even peak True Immortal Realm or even Profound Immortal Realm cultivators, then I''m really in trouble..." Su Xing pondered for a moment but had no good solution. Running away from the Little Qingyun Realm and not proceeding with the plan to save Qing Yunzi felt somewhat unacceptable. "At this point, all I can do is take one step at a time and be careful..." After deliberating for a while, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. [After counter-killing the assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower, you returned to White Emperor City...] [Soon, your fame spread throughout the entire White Emperor City!] [In the sixth year, you ascended to the Tianjiao List, ranking eighteenth on the Human List!] [After making it onto the Tianjiao List, your fame outshone your past!] Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire [Every cultivator in the Little Qingyun Realm knew of a late-stage Heavenly Immortal-level cultivator who had been targeted for assassination by the Wind and Rain Tower and had successfully counter-killed!] [It should be noted that it is a rare case for assassins of the Wind and Rain Tower with higher realms to fail when targeting those of lower realms, and to be counter-killed is even rarer throughout history...] [You quietly sent out people to spread your fame, stealthily cultivating in White Emperor City, waiting for the next opportunity to appear.] [As time flew by, the tenth year quickly arrived!] [One day, while purchasing cultivation resources in White Emperor City, a sudden premonition from your Escape Speed talent warned you of danger, followed by a strong murderous intent heading straight for you!] [Without the slightest hesitation, you instantly released three thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura to guard around you.] [Then, a terrifying wave of mana swept through the entire western district, destroying hundreds of shops in the vicinity, and the city''s protective Formation was activated instantly!] [The three thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura, under this mighty wave of mana, were damaged by more than half in an instant...] [And you too were eroded by the mana, spewing out a mouthful of blood.] [When you looked up, a black-robed Loose Cultivator was escaping through the air, heading out of White Emperor City!] [Your heart trembled, the Wind and Rain Tower had made its second move!] [And this time, they had sent a True Immortal Realm cultivator!] [You knew that it must have been the Descending Sect increasing the bounty on you, paying an even higher price to engage this True Immortal Realm assassin!] [And judging by this assassin''s aura and mana, he should be an early-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator!] [At this moment, several powerful auras rose into the sky from the city, all Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, seemingly rushing to your aid.] [But you knew that the Wind and Rain Tower assassin had chosen the perfect timing; at this time, the Master of the White Emperor Tower''s sub-tower, the only True Immortal Realm cultivator, was not present in the city.] [And with only a few Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, it was clearly impossible to stop this True Immortal Realm assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower!] [Thus, without hesitation, you immediately took a Healing Pill and then chased after the assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower!] [This True Immortal Realm cultivator had an incredibly swift escape technique; in just a short moment, he fled thousands of miles away, beyond the reach of ordinary Heavenly Immortals.] [But fortunately, your own Escape Speed was quite remarkable, with Sword Control Technique combined with an initial understanding of the Realm of Sword Dao, you could travel a million miles in a day...] [You pursued relentlessly and finally, an hour later, caught up to the True Immortal Realm cultivator!] Chapter 320 Climbing to the Fourth Place on the Tianjiao List, The Plan to Save Qing Yunzi!_3 Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire ``` [At this moment, you are over a hundred thousand miles away from White Emperor City.] [Seeing that you tirelessly pursue him, the assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower thinks there might be a trick, so he keeps running wildly without counterattacking.] [You continue to fight and chase, covering tens of thousands of miles more!] [By now, the assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower gradually snaps back to his senses, guessing that there are no reinforcements behind you.] [He stops his steps, and with a cold face, he looks at you, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery, as if he is watching a rat.] In the real world, Su Xing''s heart races. "Here it comes!" "An assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower... a genuine cultivator at the True Immortal Realm!" Su Xing feels somewhat nervous inside. Although he estimates his own strength to have reached the True Immortal Realm, his Cultivation Level is, after all, only in the later stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. A True Immortal Realm cultivator has surpassed the three calamities of immortals, his mana is profound, and his grasp of the Great Dao is much higher than that of the Heavenly Immortal Realm! The most direct difference is, a True Immortal Cultivator has a lifespan of a hundred thousand years! With the consumption of life-extending secret elixirs, Heaven and Earth Treasures, living through an entire great epoch is effortless! Hence, the gap between the Heavenly Immortal Realm and the True Immortal Realm is like a chasmhardly less than the difference between the Transcendence Tribulation Stage and the Immortal Realm... "However, the techniques I possess now are quite remarkable as well... My cultivation has also reached the eight levels of the Heavenly Immortal Realm! It shouldn''t be a big problem!" Su Xing reassures himself and then looks towards the Simulation Panel. [The assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower coldly glances at you, as if looking at a corpse.] [He slowly extends a finger, casually giving himself fifteen minutes to deal with you!] [After hearing this, you become even more vigilant, as this True Immortal Realm cultivator apparently has formidable combat skills...] [Immediately, you activate the nascent form of your Spirit Domain, with nine types of Great Dao origins revolving around your body, and then you summon one thousand five hundred Body-Protecting Sword Auras to firmly shield yourself.] [The great battle is about to erupt!] [You see the assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower, like a ghostly shadow, leave behind several afterimages in the air...] [Your heart jolts, could it be that this True Immortal knows the art of cloning?] [However, with your Divine Sense probing, you quickly realize... these are but false afterimages created by extreme speed, not clones!] [To leave afterimages in place, seemingly dispersing like clones, this assassin''s comprehension of the Speed Grand Dao must have reached at least a Minor Achievement level!] [As expected, just after engaging, you find the situation extremely tricky.] [The assassin''s speed is too fast, the close combat makes it so you can''t even strike his Physical Body; and with each attack you manage, a segment of your Body-Protecting Sword Aura dissipates.] [After just dozens of rounds, your Physical Body starts to suffer damage.] [While fighting, you quickly contemplate a strategy to defeat your enemy.] [Although the assassin''s afterimages are somewhat confusing, your Divine Sense has already reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm level, enabling you to effortlessly perceive his Origin.] [The only difficulty is, your attack speed... is not fast enough!] [After several hundred more rounds of battle, the True Immortal Realm assassin sees that you still appear vigorous and immediately tightens up, a grave expression surfaces on his face.] [Meanwhile, you have completed your counterattack plan...] [Your understanding of the Great Dao of Thunder has reached the threshold of entry... During the battle, you quietly summon heavenly thunder, spreading thunderbolts throughout your Spirit Domain!] [The pervasive thunderbolts, like a net of lightning, limit the True Immortal Realm cultivator''s movements; even his rapid speed is to no avail!] [Sure enough, while the lightning net does not seriously injure the True Immortal Realm cultivator, the paralyzing effect of the Thunder Attribute greatly hinders his movements.] [The disadvantage on the battlefield is turned around by you.] [Thus, the battle goes on for several more hours!] [After a thousand rounds of fierce fighting, both you and the True Immortal Realm cultivator have significantly drained your mana.] [You take out a bottle of High-grade Spiritual Liquid and down it, quickly restoring your mana.] [The opposing True Immortal Realm assassin also takes out an elixir, swiftly recovering his mana before re-engaging in battle with you.] [Like this, several more hours pass...] [As the time comes to the morning of the next day, your battle has persisted for an entire half-day.] [As early as during the pre-dawn hours, the old man begins to show intentions of retreat, wanting to pull back...] [But you feign mana exhaustion several times, enticing him to stay.] [You are aware that the assassin will probably soon see through your ruse, and if he were truly determined to escape, you''d have a hard time keeping him...] [So, you take a deep breath, no longer hiding, the recovered halfway Sword Intent around your body erupts, and two thousand Body-Protecting Sword Auras blast straight at the assassin!] [The assassin marvels at the terrifying force of the Sword Auras, dodging vitals with great speed and casting Art and Techniques to defend...] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After a flurry of sword lights pass, the assassin spits out a mouthful of fresh blood, with several injuries on his body, but he''s clearly only lightly wounded and not yet deprived of his fighting strength.] [Seeing this, your expression turns to alarm, and you quickly turn to flee...] [The assassin swallows a healing Immortal Elixir, lets out a sneer, and pounces towards you...] [Like a specter, his figure appears behind you, as if announcing your doom.] [However, the True Immortal Realm assassin overlooks the red mana vortex in your hand, already tinged with strands of green!] [As the assassin nears you in an instant, you show no mercy; the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique blasts out, striking directly at the elder''s vital point!] [Completely unable to react, the assassin is torn apart by the terrifying power of the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique, his blood and flesh explode, and his life force rapidly dissipates...] [As your mana grows more profound and your understanding of the Five Elements Dao deepens, the power of the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique becomes increasingly terrifying!] ``` Chapter 320 Climbing to the Fourth Place on the Tianjiao List, The Plan to Save Qing Yunzi!_4 "The current Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique, when fully unleashed, is approximately equivalent to 2800 Body-Protecting Sword Auras being released at once!" "Such terrifying power, even a True Immortal if not cautious, would suffer a Serious Injury!" "In the previous battle, you had already seen that although the assassin was strong and extremely fast, his Physical Body was merely at the Peak of the Human Immortal Realm, not even reaching the Earth Immortal Realm level!" "With that, you easily penetrated his Body-Protecting Divine Skills with a Spirit Explosion Technique, causing his Human Immortal body to collapse and shatter..." "Just before dying, the True Immortal Realm cultivator looked at you with eyes full of fear and regret..." "In an instant, the Divine Soul of the True Immortal Realm cultivator departed from the body, but you easily extinguished it." "Afterwards, you cracked open the Storage Magical Artifact of this True Immortal Realm cultivator and found his Identity Token inside." "Wind and Rain Tower, assassin ranked thirteenth!" "With this, a beginner True Immortal Realm cultivator was directly killed by you!" In the real world, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief. "True Immortal Realm cultivators... it seems they are not so difficult to kill after all..." Su Xing''s lips curved slightly upward. He had initially thought True Immortal Realm cultivators would be terrifying, but now it seemed they were not much! They just had more abundant Mana and a much stronger comprehension of the Great Dao... "However, the assassin from Wind and Rain Tower probably belongs to those in the True Immortal Realm who are not good at direct confrontations... otherwise he wouldn''t have fled thousands of miles after failing to strike." "If I were to encounter a dual-cultivator of spirit and body, or one who is extremely skilled in direct combat in the True Immortal Realm, it would probably inevitably lead to a fierce battle..." Su Xing rubbed his chin; he estimated his current strength and thought that using unethical tactics in martial conduct, killing a mid-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator shouldn''t be difficult! "After this battle, my reputation in Qingyun Realm should be further enhanced..." Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. "The news of killing another Wind and Rain Tower assassin quickly spread throughout White Emperor City!" "With a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, cutting down a True Immortal Realm cultivator... This heaven-defying act shook the entire Little Qingyun Realm!" "In a few months, your abode was bustling like a marketplace; countless cultivators came to visit, wishing to befriend you..." "The branch master of White Emperor Tower even came in person, treating you in a friendly manner, and even with a hint of flattery." "In the eleventh year, a new ranking of the Heavenly Pride List was issued, and this time you ranked ninth on the people''s list! Officially entering the top ten of the Heavenly Pride List!"

"That is why the True Immortal Realm cultivators were flattering you..." "In the following years, you continued to cultivate in White Emperor City, contemplating whether your current status and reputation were sufficient to inform Qing Yunzi of some matters." "In the fifteenth year, one day you had a premonition, sensing a warning from your talent to seek fortune and avoid disaster." "You knew perhaps another assassination from Wind and Rain Pavilion was coming!" "Previously, you had successively counter-killed two waves of assassins... but it was unexpected that the Wind and Rain Tower kept failing." "And this also made Emperor Bai rage, strengthening the defenses around White Emperor City." "You secretly performed divination, discovering this calamity was not a death tribulation, with survival hanging in the balance." "This indicated that the assassin sent by Wind and Rain Tower this time was below the late stage of the True Immortal Realm!" "You pondered whether to risk yourself to further enhance your reputation..." "Ultimately, you decided to take the risk!" "You left White Emperor City and headed to the great mountains of White Emperor City as usual..." "Three days later, a mid-stage True Immortal Realm assassin appeared." "This was one of the most challenging battles you ever faced..." "In the end, relying on three thousand Body-Protecting Sword Auras, in combination with your Unethical in Martial Conduct talent, you counter-killed him in a desperate situation!" "After counter-killing this mid-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator, you also suffered Serious Injuries and hid in the Spirit Field Cave to recover for three years." "In the eighteenth year, you reappeared in White Emperor City, and the cultivators there were again shocked!" "After not appearing for three years, they all thought you had died in an assassination by a Wind and Rain Tower assassin." "But when you took out the ninth-ranked Token from the Rain Character, the cultivators of White Emperor City had to accept a terrifying fact." "With a late-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, you had slain a mid-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator!" "A year later... you once again climbed up the Heavenly Pride List, ranked fourth on the people''s list!" "Ranking fourth on the people''s list is vastly different from ninth!" "The top three on the people''s list are terrifying geniuses who can fight across an entire Realm, born in the Great Thousand Worlds only once in ten thousand years."

Even the fabled congenital Immortal Physique! The terrifying heaven-sent children born as Immortals themselves are not nonexistent. To emerge victorious from such a terrifying number and secure the fourth rank on the People''s List is already a feat to be called terrifying. Even the top-tier powers cannot ignore such an existence. "It''s just a pity... my comprehension of the Great Dao is still insufficient... My Sword Qi Barrier is not yet at its peak, and if the Five Elements Dao were perfected, completing the Spirit Domain... then the top three, even the first position, might not be out of reach!" Su Xing smacked his lips, then started to deduce whether going to "report" Qing Yunzi would be viable with his current status. A moment later, Su Xing nodded slightly and said, "The chances of success and failure are evenly matched... but it''s worth a try! If it doesn''t work out... I''ll just flee to another world!" With that thought, Su Xing silently chanted, "Activate immersive simulation..." [Ding...] As the notification sounded, Su Xing''s figure appeared in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion''s branch within White Emperor City. The moment he entered the Heavenly Secret Pavilion shop, Su Xing heard a languid voice. "Heaven-Sent Child List fourth, Sword Immortal Su Ye! What brings you to our Heavenly Secret Pavilion?" On hearing this, Su Xing looked towards the young girl sprawled on the counter, still displaying that languid demeanor, her expression towards Su Xing brimming with interest. Su Xing chuckled lightly, this time choosing not to disguise himself and directly visiting as Su Ye. Given Heavenly Secret Pavilion''s intelligence system, it would be impossible not to know Su Ye. Su Xing walked up to the young girl and got straight to the point, "I''m here, naturally, for business! And it''s a big deal at that! The matter... concerns a certain Daluo Golden Immortal!" "May I inquire if your status permits you to handle this intelligence?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, the young girl raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression turning a bit serious. "Su Tianjiao... you can be reckless with food, but not with words. Are you saying... the information you seek concerns a certain Daluo Golden Immortal?" Su Xing nodded resolutely upon hearing her words, wishing to divulge all he knew about Qing Yunzi to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in this simulation, eager to see what consequences it would yield. The girl, seeing Su Xing''s silence, confidently said, "As the Pavilion Master here... of course I can make the decision. Intelligence must pass through my hands!" After hearing this, Su Xing''s gaze towards the young girl changed slightly, and after scrutinizing her carefully, he felt even more that she was extraordinary. This young girl appeared to only have the True Immortal Realm cultivation level. But with Su Xing''s divine sense and insight, he couldn''t see through her... it was as if she carried a great secret with her. "It''s good if you can make the decision!" Su Xing said softly, then handed over the Jade Slip containing the intelligence he had prepared in advance to the young girl. The girl took the Jade Slip, her originally calm expression gradually turning serious... until finally, she became a little distressed. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire "What? That old fart Qing Yunzi... he''s actually trying to Slay the Three Corpses in reverse and he''s f**king about to fail!" The girl''s calm demeanor disappeared, her eyes filled with seriousness.

Not only would they lose a righteous Daluo Golden Immortal, but if Qing Yunzi falls into the demonic path, then it would be game over! sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The young girl asked Su Xing with a grave tone, "Su Tianjiao... can you guarantee the authenticity of this intelligence?" Su Xing nodded solemnly after hearing this and declared, "I, Su Ye, guarantee with my life and cultivation journey that this intelligence is absolutely true!" "The divine power Qing Yunzi cultivates is the ''Three Purities from One Qi,'' which can condense two other entities apart from the main body, each possessing the combat strength of a Daluo... and it''s a supreme divine power indeed!" "However, this method has its flaws; the good and evil corpses battle each other. The path to Prove the Dao by Slaying the Three Corpses... should begin by slaying the Evil Corpse first!" "But there has been an error in his process of Slaying the Three Corpses; he''s reversed it by targeting the Good Corpse, and now he''s likely slaying the Self Corpse! If the Evil Corpse remains... I fear the entire Three Thousand Worlds will be in dire peril!" Su Xing spoke eloquently, laying out Qing Yunzi''s situation in clear detail. The young girl in front of him nodded slightly after listening, already believing much of what Su Xing had said. Thus, she asked, "Su Ye... so what is your purpose for providing this intelligence?" Without hesitation, Su Xing stated, "I hope to leverage the power of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion... along with other top-tier powers, to jointly pressure the Qingyun Sect, persuading Qing Yunzi to abandon cutting the Self Corpse and focus on the Evil Corpse first!" "If we succeed... it is a great fortune for our Three Thousand Worlds!" Chapter 321 Innate Treasure Enlightenment Tea, Comprehend the Five Elements Dao!【8k】 After hearing Su Xing''s words, the young girl kept silent and after pondering for a while, she said, "Qingyun Sect is one of the top powers in the Three Thousand Worlds... Even we, Heavenly Secret Pavilion, do not wish to be their enemy." "If this matter is not handled carefully, it''s very likely to anger Qingyun Sect, and thus provoke a great war..." "So, our Heavenly Secret Pavilion dares not make a hasty decision and needs to investigate carefully..." Having said that, the girl then asked, "Su Tianjiao... I want to ask you, what exactly is the source of this information?" Su Xing knew the girl had many concerns, so he gritted his teeth and took out a token to show her, saying, "To be honest... I am a disciple collected by Qing Yunzi''s kind thoughts from outside... A direct second-generation disciple of Qingyun Sect!" "This token can serve as proof!" Su Xing displayed the token in his hand. Seeing this, the girl''s face showed surprise; if she had believed Su Xing to about sixty or seventy percent before, now she believed him more than ninety percent! Thus, the girl said, "Since you are a high disciple of Qingyun Sect... this matter is naturally feasible!" "Please give me some time, I will contact various major powers, including Qingyun Sect!" After hearing this, Su Xing slightly nodded, took the young girl''s communication jade slip, then returned to his dwelling to quietly wait. ... The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality. "Alas, this simulated identity was eventually exposed!" "If the negotiation fails... I can only run away as fast as possible!"

[After leaving the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, you return to your dwelling and stay safely inside the White Emperor Tower to cultivate.] [As long as you do not go out, even the assassins from Wind and Rain Tower dare not enter the White Emperor Tower to kill you.] [Thus, before you know it, several years have passed.] [In the twentieth year, your cultivation reaches the late eighth stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [One day, the sound transmission jade slip given to you by the girl from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion emits a fluctuation.] [She informs you that a division Pavilion Master from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion will personally visit, and the White Emperor Tower will also send a Golden Immortal to negotiate face-to-face with Qingyun Sect.] [The negotiation site is in Qingyun City in the Little Qingyun Realm, and the time is ten years later.] [Hearing this, you calculate the timing and feel there is ample time, so you continue to stay in White Emperor City to cultivate.] [Ten years pass...] Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire [Your cultivation becomes even more refined, and in the thirtieth year, you disguise and suppress your aura, taking a flying boat towards Qingyun City.] [After several months, you smoothly arrive at Qingyun City.] [At the agreed location, you meet a Golden Immortal division master from White Emperor Tower, a Golden Immortal division Pavilion Master from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [And a Qingyun Sect Golden Immortal, Immortal Ziling!] [Immortal Ziling is naturally aloof and initially harbored hostility toward you, and if not for the sake of Qingyun Sect''s reputation, she would not have wanted to come personally.] [However, when you display the direct disciple token in your hand, Immortal Ziling''s attitude instantly changes.] [She cordially calls you Little Junior Brother, takes you aside, and secretly inquires about Qing Yunzi''s situation.] [But when you reveal the peril Qing Yunzi is currently facing, sadness fills Immortal Ziling''s heart.] [Soon, Immortal Ziling agrees, bringing the three of you to explore the Qingyun Realm!] [Traveling on a flying boat, you pass through more than a dozen void nodes and quickly reach the Qingyun Realm, beholding the majestic gates of Qingyun Sect.] Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him, subtly nodded, and said, "Success or failure, it all hinges on this..." He then shifted his gaze back to the simulation panel. [After arriving at the gates of Qingyun Sect, several Golden Immortal second-generation disciples appear, inquiring about your purpose.] [With Immortal Ziling''s assistance, you smoothly enter the rear mountains, stopping outside the Three Immortals Peak...] [Immortal Ziling first has you wait at the foot of the mountain, then she enters the mountain, seeming to go in to visit Qing Yunzi.] [A moment later, Immortal Ziling returns with a joyous expression.] [Indeed, Immortal Ziling has seen Qing Yunzi, and Qing Yunzi specifically instructs that you go alone to meet him...] [Upon hearing this, you feel uneasy in your heart, as meeting Qing Yunzi would undoubtedly make you a fish on the chopping block!] [But with no other choice, you decide to take the risk...] [Thus, you alone ascend the Three Immortals Peak and meet Qing Yunzi.] [The Three Immortals Peak is very simple, with a few acres of Spirit Field and a thatched cottage.] [You stay outside the cottage for a moment, then Qing Yunzi lightly calls out, inviting you in...] In the real world, Su Xing saw this and slightly frowned, muttering, "Use the immersive simulation for one day!" [Ding...] Regardless of success or failure, Su Xing plans to clarify things face to face with Qing Yunzi! "If it doesn''t succeed... in future simulations, not to attempt it again until possessing absolute power!" Su Xing murmured, his consciousness entering the simulated world. Soon, Su Xing appeared in front of a thatched cottage, and from inside came a slightly tired voice: "Come in, my friend~" This voice was like a breath of spring, endearing Su Xing. Su Xing took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and then saw Qing Yunzi sitting in meditation on a simple wooden bed. Qing Yunzi was wearing a green robe, looking quite weary. He slowly got up, walked to a wooden table, took some tea, and brewed a pot for Su Xing. "My friend, I am already aware of your purpose... it''s just that your appearance seems much earlier than I expected!" Qing Yunzi leisurely brewed the tea, slowly speaking, lacking the demeanor of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, rather resembling an ordinary village schoolteacher. Chapter 321 Innate Treasure Enlightenment Tea, Comprehending the Five Elements Dao!【8k】_2 Su Xing was shaken to his core upon seeing Qing Yunzi''s weakened state. A Daluo Golden Immortal, how could he have declined to such an extent, even showing signs of fatigue? This was completely different from the Qing Yunzi he remembered, who would exist decades later! It seemed Qing Yunzi noticed the confusion in Su Xing''s heart, and he sighed, saying, Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This state of mine... has persisted for thousands of years..." "Even I do not know how much longer I can remain lucid... Perhaps I can endure for a few more millennia, or perhaps just a few more decades..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing''s expression turned grave. It appeared that Qing Yunzi at this time was already aware of his condition and the possible outcome he faced. Sure enough, Qing Yunzi explained, "Tens of thousands of years ago, in a moment of folly, I conceived the idea of Becoming a Saint by Slaying the Three Corpses in reverse order!" "First severing the Good Corpse, then the Evil Corpse... and ultimately severing the self to Prove the Dao as Great Luo!" "Severing the Good Corpse first has numerous benefits. The seven emotions and six desires dissipate along with the Good Corpse, making the path to the Dao much more unobstructed!" "However, I overestimated myself... I thought that after a lifetime of cultivating my character and reputation among the orthodox cultivators, I would be considerable..." "Yet, after severing the Good Corpse, I still couldn''t avoid being bewitched by the Evil Corpse and struggled to restrain the evil within my heart." After a pause, Qing Yunzi continued, "In my current state, I am forcibly suppressing the evil thoughts... Once the self-corpse is consumed by evil thoughts, the consequences are unimaginable!" "This is precisely why... thousands of years ago, I left behind a wisp of good thought, containing part of my Good Corpse. It was based on the Three Purities from One Qi, allowing it to seek a remedy within the Three Thousand Worlds..." "But with the good thought severed, I am unaware of the situation..." At this point, Qing Yunzi looked towards Su Xing and said, "Therefore, young friend''s arrival... must be because you encountered the wisp of good thought I left behind." "Do you have a solution?" As his voice fell, Qing Yunzi looked at Su Xing with a glimmer of hope. Su Xing fell silent for a moment, now believing in the fundamental goodness of Qing Yunzi. But due to a fleeting thought, his entire Dao path was destroyed. And decades later, Qing Yunzi''s self-thought would be completely devoured, reducing him to that state. Hesitant, Su Xing finally said, "Senior... no, Master!" "The wisp of your good thought has taken me as a disciple... thus, it is fitting for me to call you Master..." "I am aware of Master''s situation; I heard that when the Master cultivated the Three Purities from One Qi, you lacked a visualization technique!" "This technique is the Diagram of Wishful Visualization... I happened upon a portion of Luotian Legacy and acquired this technique. I hope to present it to Master!" Having said this, Su Xing used his art and technique to crystallize his complete memory of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization into a stream of energy that floated towards Qing Yunzi. Qing Yunzi accepted the art and technique, integrated it into his glabella, and fully assimilated the memory. After a long while, a moved expression flashed across Qing Yunzi''s face, and he murmured, Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire "Alas... if only it were not too late!" "Had I acquired this technique in the beginning and laid the foundation... then cultivated the Three Purities from One Qi, perhaps I could have eliminated the issue and gained full control over my incarnations!" "It is just a pity, now it is too late... even if I were to cultivate this technique again, I fear there wouldn''t be enough time!" Qing Yunzi''s demeanor showed neither joy nor sorrow. Although there was remorse in his heart, he did not fully express it. After a moment, Qing Yunzi turned to Su Xing and said, "Young friend... though you are a disciple of one of my good thoughts, you have shown me kindness, and I haven''t actually taught you anything... I do not deserve the honor of a Master-disciple relationship!" "We should form a bond of goodwill instead, and it would be appropriate for us to address each other as equals!" Having said this, Qing Yunzi expressed some gratitude, "This Diagram of Wishful Visualization, although it arrived a tad late... it still has some uses!" "With it, at the very least, I could endure for a while longer and see if there are other ways to breakthrough..." With those words, Qing Yunzi pointed to a cup of tea on the table and said, "Young friend, there''s no harm in drinking this tea before you leave..." Su Xing hesitated slightly, although he believed that Qing Yunzi was not ill-intentioned at this point, he still felt some trepidation about the tea. However, it occurred to Su Xing that, for a Daluo Golden Immortal, if he truly meant harm, he would not need to resort to such means. Thus, Su Xing picked up the warm tea, savoring it carefully. Afterward, his eyes lit up, and he sincerely praised, "Excellent tea! With just one sip... I already feel my mind becoming clearer, as if it contains the essence of the Dao!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Qing Yunzi stroked his beard and laughed, "You have a discerning palate, young friend... This tea is called Enlightenment Tea!" "It is an Innate Treasure, brewed from the leaves of the Enlightenment Tree!" "The Enlightenment Tea Leaves are extremely precious... Even I have only occasionally come across an ounce or two during my early travels and have been reluctant to consume them..." After hearing this, Su Xing looked at the cup in his hand and saw a couple of green tea leaves floating in the refreshing tea. Without a sound, Su Xing put the leaves, along with the tea, and the cup itself into his possession. Then, under Qing Yunzi''s stunned gaze, Su Xing''s expression shifted, and he said, "Cough, Master! Master! Do you have any more Enlightenment Tea? Please gift me another two ounces of Enlightenment Tea!" Seeing this, the corners of Qing Yunzi''s mouth twitched as he said, "This Enlightenment Tea... I don''t have much left..." Having said this, Qing Yunzi carefully retrieved a folded piece of paper from his bosom. Unfolding the paper, about a dozen green tea leaves were revealed. After some hesitation, Qing Yunzi picked out four leaves and then put back three. In the end, three tea leaves fell into Su Xing''s hands. "Cough... This Enlightenment Tea is quite precious... you should brew it several times!" Chapter 321 Innate Treasure Enlightenment Tea, Comprehending the Five Elements Dao!【8k】_3 Su Xing quickly took the tea leaves, but his gaze shifted to the seven remaining leaves in Qing Yunzi''s hand. Just as he was about to speak, Qing Yunzi swiftly waved his sleeve, and Su Xing was instantly transported to the foot of Three Immortals Peak. "Damn... How stingy..." Su Xing looked at the three pieces of Enlightenment Tea in his arms, carefully storing them in his Storage Magical Artifact, fearing damaging them. He had just returned to the foot of the mountain, when Immortal Ziling and the other two Golden Immortals, with eager expressions on their faces, hastily asked: "Su Ye, how is Senior Qingyun (Master) doing?" Su Xing touched his chin and replied, "Qing Yunzi is still manageable... Only, the backlash from reversing the Slaying the Three Corpses is quite severe, so he will need some time to recuperate..." Su Xing chose not to tell the whole truth, for reasons of his own. From the current situation, Qing Yunzi belongs to the friendly alliance, and by obtaining the Wishful Visualization Technique, he might be able to delay his condition a bit, or even recover! Su Xing didn''t know the outcome and would need to observe through future simulations. Had he revealed Qing Yunzi''s true condition, if the news leaked, it could indeed cause an upheaval across the Three Thousand Worlds, with the Descending Sect and the Foreign Race exploiting the situation, resulting in losses outweighing the gains. Hearing Su Xing''s words, the others showed delight, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Thankfully, Su Tianjiao (Junior Brother), you arrived just in time, or the consequences would have been unimaginable..." Immortal Ziling looked at Su Xing and asked, "Junior Brother, what do you plan to do now?" Having just drunk the Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing felt a significant boost in his comprehension, and thus he said, "Sister, could you help me find a place to stay? I had a fruitful discussion with Master just now... I would like to go into seclusion for some time!" After hearing this, Immortal Ziling nodded quickly, and Su Xing went to Qingyun Sect to find a temporary dwelling in a cave heaven. The other two Golden Immortals then excused themselves. ... Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality. "Enlightenment Tea! Tsk tsk... I''ve tasted a remarkable Heaven and Earth Treasure!" "And Qing Yunzi... I still need to observe the outcome." Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel, curious about the effects of the Enlightenment Tea. [Qing Yunzi''s condition is temporarily stable, and he poses no threat to you.] [Therefore, you decide to stay within Qingyun Sect, cultivating for a period.] [While the effects of the Enlightenment Tea still linger, you take out the Innate Fusang Tree Branch and begin to comprehend the Great Dao of Fire.] [Your comprehension of the Great Dao of Fire rapidly improves, you had already mastered the initial form of the Great Dao of Fire, and you are now at the threshold of the First Layer Realm!] [With the Innate Fusang Tree Branch in hand, feeling the essence of the Dao of Fire it contains, you fall into a profound state of contemplation... In the blink of an eye, three years have passed!] [That first sip of Enlightenment Tea allowed you to contemplate for a full three years!] [And in those three years, your comprehension of the Great Dao of Fire advanced as much as it would have in the past thirty years of cultivation!] [Knowing the terrifying effect of the Enlightenment Tea, you are shocked and reluctant to continue using it.] [On the thirty-third year, you leave Qingyun Sect and take a Flying Boat to the Blackwater Realm!] [You plan to first comprehend the Great Dao of Water in the Blackwater Realm!] In the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath, his expression exhilarated. "Enlightenment Tea, just one sip equals ten times the comprehension effect!" "And it lasts for an entire year... plus it can be used continuously!" "If only I had known, I would have started using immersive simulation right away!" Su Xing felt some regret and pondered for a moment before shaking his head, Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire "No, it''s better to wait until the effects are amplified by the Late Bloomer state and possibly even augmented by the Great Wisdom State!" Su Xing did some quick calculations, the effects of the Spirit Awakening Pill equaled one day of contemplation, lasting for a month, which is three years! With the Great Wisdom State, one month could equal an epiphany of ten years. Add Late Bloomer to that... and one month equals twenty years! As for the effect of the Enlightenment Tea, though not as instant as the Spirit Awakening Pill. But Enlightenment Tea can be repeatedly consumed! "Three pieces of Enlightenment Tea can make one cup... that''s three sips!" "Three sips of Enlightenment Tea last nine years... that''s equivalent to ninety years of comprehension!" "With Late Bloomer and Great Wisdom State enhancement... that''s equivalent to contemplating for two hundred seventy years!" Excitement flickered in Su Xing''s eyes as he murmured, "One cup of tea... can it be brewed repeatedly? Will it still be effective?" Su Xing was eager to try. "But... there''s no rush! After eighty years, it''s not too late to try it!" This is how Su Xing thought, his gaze turning to the simulation panel. [Once you reach the Blackwater Realm, you take the Black Water Flag and the Luotian Legacy, then prepare to head to the Yellow Sand Realm.] [In the thirty-fifth year, you arrive at the hall under Yellow Sand City...] [After passing three tests, you inherit the legacy of Daoist Yellow Sand, enjoying resources for a great contest.] [You decide to toil in the hall of Yellow Sand.] [Thus, twenty-five years pass by...] [In the sixtieth year, your cultivation level reaches the peak of the eighth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [You begin to attempt a breakthrough.] [In the sixty-fifth year, you successfully break through, achieving the early phase of the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [Thus, another twenty years pass.] [In the eighty-fifth year, your cultivation level reaches the middle phase of the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm...] [In the one hundred tenth year, your cultivation level reaches the late phase of the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [As your cultivation level continuously advances, the time and resources required for each realm are frightening!] [At the time of the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the amount of High-grade Spiritual Liquid you need each year approaches four million drops!] [This is what a typical late-stage Heavenly Immortal cultivator would use in hundreds of years of cultivation...] [But fortunately, there''s still much of the Spiritual Liquid left by Daoist Yellow Sand.] Chapter 321 Innate Treasure Enlightenment Tea, Comprehending the Five Elements Dao!【8k】_4 [Every day you practice, your Cultivation Level advances by leaps and bounds.] [In the one hundred and thirty-fifth year, you finally smoothly reached the Ninefold Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [And at this time, you also prepare to launch an assault towards the final Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm...] [This meditation retreat took you a full five years, using more than ten million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid!] [In the one hundred and fortieth year, eventually, with the help of the Spirit Vein Dragon, you seamlessly ascended to the Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [At this moment... you are only one step away from the True Immortal Realm!] In the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath after seeing this. "Finally... I''m getting closer and closer to the True Immortal Realm!" "Moreover, this time, nothing went wrong up until one hundred and forty years... this indicates the Diagram of Wishful Visualization really had an effect on Qing Yunzi!" Su Xing felt a bit excited, but his goal had not yet been fully achieved. Next, Su Xing would deepen his comprehension of the Five Elements Dao and, with the help of Enlightenment Tea, enhance his comprehension of the Great Dao of Earth and the other Elemental paths! With that thought in mind, Su Xing muttered: "Activate Immersive Simulation... Duration, fifty years!" [Ding, you have successfully activated Immersive Simulation... costing 18,250 points of energy, with an Origin Energy Source remaining of 487,211 points...] As the simulation notification sounded, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the Simulated World. In the Yellow Sand Realm, Su Xing felt his profound Mana within his body and nodded in satisfaction. "The Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm... truly remarkable!" "Next... it''s time to comprehend the Dao!" Without hesitation, Su Xing took out the Enlightenment Tea given to him by Qing Yunzi, which had warmed slightly even after being stored for over a hundred years in his Storage Magical Artifact. Su Xing estimated the tea and found there was about two-thirds of a cup left, just enough for him to take two sips. First, Su Xing entered the Great Wisdom State, then drank a sip of the Enlightenment Tea and immediately felt his Comprehension rapidly increase. Taking advantage of the boost from the Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing, holding the Yellow Sand Sculpture, quickly began his comprehension. Soon, three years slowly passed... Su Xing emerged from that profound state of comprehension, smacking his lips and saying: "Enlightenment Tea... not only aids in Enlightenment but also has the effect of calming the mind for comprehension! Although the short-term comprehension is not as good as the Spirit Awakening Pill... overall, it''s far superior!" Su Xing did a quick calculation. These three years of comprehension, enhanced by the Late Bloomer, Enlightenment Tea, and The Great Wisdom in Foolishness, were equivalent to one hundred and eighty years! And Su Xing was now only one step away from getting an initial glimpse into the Great Dao of Earth... "Just one more step and I can reach the initial insight into the Great Dao of Earth!" With this thought, Su Xing no longer hesitated and took another sip of Enlightenment Tea. Three years slowly passed... Over a year ago, Su Xing had already stepped into the initial insight Realm of the Great Dao of Earth. But in this profound state, Su Xing was reluctant to stop, so he continued his comprehension for another year... "Now, among the Five Elements Dao... I have reached the initial insight Realm in Wood and Earth... the Origin of Water is perfected, and the Great Dao of Fire is taking shape... only the Dao of Gold remains uncomprehended!" Su Xing nodded slightly, ready to thoroughly break into the True Immortal Realm once he stepped into the initial insight Realm of the Five Elements Dao! And with the help of the Enlightenment Tea... that day surely won''t be far for Su Xing! "The initial insight into the Great Dao of Earth... next, I shall comprehend the Great Dao of Fire!" In the Yellow Sand Realm, where the Dao Essence of fire was abundant, combined with the innate Fusang Tree Branch, the effect would certainly be remarkable! So, Su Xing took out the finished cup of Enlightenment Tea and saw three green tea leaves sticking to the bottom of the cup. After thinking it over, Su Xing took out the Spring Dew Pure Water he had collected earlier and started to brew the tea. Once the tea was brewed, its aroma filled the air. Su Xing hastily drank a third of it, feeling himself once again falling into that profound state of comprehension. Holding the Innate Fusang Tree Branch, Su Xing started to comprehend the Great Dao of Fire! In the blink of an eye, two years had passed, and Su Xing gradually emerged from the profound state of comprehension, estimating the time that had passed. Su Xing sighed: "Indeed... the effect of Enlightenment Tea is significantly diminished when brewed for the second time..." The efficiency of comprehension hadn''t changed, still equating to ten years in one! But the duration had reduced to only two years. Still, Su Xing''s comprehension of the Great Dao of Fire had not yet reached the initial insight Realm. "Fortunately, I still have two sips of Enlightenment Tea..." Without hesitation, Su Xing continued to drink the Enlightenment Tea and persisted with his cultivation. Over the next four years, Su Xing consecutively consumed the Enlightenment Tea twice. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire ... In the twelfth year of Immersive Simulation, in the palace of the Yellow Sand Realm, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, revealing a satisfied expression. "Good, my comprehension of the Great Dao of Fire has smoothly stepped into the initial insight Realm!" "With this, only the Great Dao of Water and the Dao of Gold are left..." Su Xing took a deep breath, his face showing palpable excitement. This Enlightenment Tea is indeed mystical! Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In just over a decade, combined with Su Xing''s talent bonus, it equates to the comprehension pace of tens of thousands of years for ordinary cultivators! "However, before comprehending the Great Dao of Water, I must first head to the Blackwater Realm!" Thus, Su Xing spent another year traveling from the Yellow Sand Realm to reach the Blackwater Realm. In the depths of the vast ocean, Su Xing established a cave dwelling, feeling the rich Dao Essence of water around him. Su Xing took out the Blackwater Flag and began to comprehend the Great Dao of Water! Taking out the Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing started to brew another cup. After drinking a sip, Su Xing began to comprehend the Great Dao of Water. The third brewing of the Enlightenment Tea lasted only a year... Su Xing''s comprehension of the Great Dao of Water had reached the nascent form Realm! Without any hesitation, Su Xing drank the last two sips of Enlightenment Tea over the next two years. Chapter 321 Innate Treasure Enlightenment Tea, Comprehending the Five Elements Dao!【8k】_5 As such, Su Xing''s mastery of The Great Dao of Water had nearly reached the threshold of the initial insight realm. But when Su Xing brewed it for the fourth time, he was greatly disappointed. No matter if it was the effect of the Enlightenment Tea or its duration, both were far worse than before! "The effect is roughly less than one-third of the original... and the duration is even less than a month!" Su Xing sighed, having thought that he could indefinitely exploit the benefits of the Enlightenment Tea. But now it seemed, it was less likely to be possible. "However... can the Enlightenment Tea and the Spirit Awakening Pill work together?" Su Xing stroked his chin, pondering. Afterward, he took the Spirit Awakening Pill and drank another sip of the Enlightenment Tea, starting to comprehend The Great Dao of Water. A month later, Su Xing shook his head in disappointment. The effects of the Enlightenment Tea and the Spirit Awakening Pill could not be stacked! "What a pity... It would have been good if the effects could have been sustained..." Su Xing murmured, looking at the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup. At this moment, he still had three leaves of the Enlightenment Tea, not yet brewed. But Su Xing had no plans to continue brewing. Such a precious item, naturally, Su Xing would try to find a way to extract it from the simulation! "Then, let''s continue to comprehend The Great Dao of Water next..." Su Xing murmured. ... Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Soon, the fifty years of immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. Opening his eyes, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction: "After this simulation... my comprehension of the Dao of Wood, Fire, Water, and Earth has all reached the threshold of the initial insight realm!" "That means I only lack the Dao of Gold, and I will be able to completely master the Five Elements Dao!" Su Xing nodded contentedly, the several major goals of this simulation had been basically achieved. "In the time to come, I can try to further comprehend the Origin of Gold..." Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [In the one hundred and ninetieth year, you ended a fifty-year retreat. During this period, your comprehension of the Daos of Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth swiftly improved! Reaching the threshold of the initial insight realm!] [Thus, you no longer planned to wait and were ready to travel to the Jn Lunar Realm to comprehend the last Dao of Gold...] [After a ten-year journey in The Void, you passed through the Star Realm, the Cangwu Realm, the Tianyuan Realm, and over a hundred and thirty other Void Nodes, before finally arriving at the Jn Lunar Realm!] [In the two hundredth year, you began in the Jn Lunar Realm, collecting essence gold stones to prepare for the future comprehension of the Dao of Gold.] [Quickly, ten years passed.] [In the two hundred and tenth year, you have collected several hundred essence gold stones of various sizes, officially preparing to comprehend the Dao of Gold!] [However, just one month into your preparations, your Talent for sensing danger suddenly issued a warning.] [Your heart was shocked, could it be that Qing Yunzi had failed to hold out, causing him to once again be dominated by the Evil Corpse?] [You desired to flee to another world aboard your Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat...] [But it was still a bit too slow.] [Only to see a figure tear through The Void, appearing before you!] [You hastily activated the three thousand Body-Protecting Sword Aura, surrounding yourself...] [However, a flying sword pierced through The Void, easily breaching your Body-Protecting Sword Aura.] Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire [Before you died, you widened your eyes, looking at the person before you, questioning his identity.] [This was an ordinary-looking young man. He slowly removed the flying sword from your corpse and placed it into his own Sword Box.] [At the same time, he revealed his identity to youWind and Rain Tower, assassin with the "Rain" insignia, ranked number one!] [You are dead...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing''s brows were deeply furrowed. "Over a hundred years have passed, I thought the Wind and Rain Tower had given up on the assassination, never expected they were lying in wait for so long, still launching an attack!" "Wind and Rain Tower, the ''Rain'' number one assassin... HissDescending Sect really values me! To actually hire such a heavy hitter!" Since being targeted by the Wind and Rain Tower, Su Xing had investigated the information on their assassins. Among them, was the information on the ''Rain'' number one assassin! "''Rain'' number one, original name unknown... skilled with flying swords, Cultivation Level reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm, with a track record of assassinating those in the Profound Immortal Realm and escaping unscathed!" "Although the cultivator of the Profound Immortal Realm attacked by him did not die on the spot... he also succumbed to his severe injuries and later died!" "Since then, the ''Rain'' number one assassin became renowned in a single battle!" "Unexpectedly... Descending Sect actually paid such a high price to hire this person to kill me!" Su Xing took a deep breath, pondering strategies to respond. "Wind and Rain Tower assassins... Although powerful, I''m not completely without resistance!" Chapter 322 Golden Talent, Divine Body of Metal! Endless Enlightenment Tea! Su Xing closed his eyes in contemplation. The number one assassin of the Wind and Rain Tower with the ''Rain'' designation, a Peak Cultivator at the True Immortal Realm... His assassination techniques were top-notch, and he had even assassinated a cultivator at the early stages of the Profound Immortal Realm! It seemed that Su Xing, when faced with such powerful enemies, had no power to resist... But assassins all shared a common weakness, their first strike was mighty strong, but their own head-on combat abilities were merely average. "This ''Rain'' number one assassin... the cost of hiring him must have been extremely high!" "If the Descending Sect wants to hire a ''Wind'' class assassin to kill me... I''m afraid it won''t be that easy!" "Therefore, as long as I survive this round of assassination, I should be able to hold out for quite some time!" With this thought, a touch of fighting spirit flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. "A Peak True Immortal assassin... I''m not without the power to resist!" "Perhaps, my Cultivation Level needs to be further improved... And the Five Elements Dao and Divine Arts also need to be strengthened!" sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing stroked his chin, thinking that if he could not beat them head-on, then he would have to resort to a war of attrition... Delaying an enemy comparable to the Profound Immortal Realm was much easier than delaying a Daluo Golden Immortal! Thinking of this, Su Xing nodded and said, "So, the next simulation must follow the path of aiding Qing Yunzi!" "Not to mention anything else... just those three leaves of Enlightenment Tea are priceless treasures to me!" Su Xing had made up his mind and looked at the rewards for this simulation. [Water Spirit Divine Body]: A Golden Talent, priced at 10 points of Origin Energy Source. [Heavenly Immortal Realm Perfection Cultivation Level]: Perfection at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, enjoying a lifespan of forty thousand years, with Mana as profound as the deities... you need only a glimpse of the Great Dao corresponding to your Spiritual Root and to survive the Storm Calamity to break into the True Immortal Realm! Priced at 300,000 points of Origin Energy Source! [Comprehension of the Great Dao of Space]: After exchange, slightly increase Comprehension of the Space Dao, priced at 40,000 points of Origin Energy Source. [Yellow Sand Sculpture]: A Dao Essence Supreme Treasure containing Comprehension of the Great Dao of Earth but much of the comprehension consumed, priced at 300,000 points of Origin Energy Source.

Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire [A Hundred Pieces of Refined Gold Stone]: A peculiar mineral containing the Dao of Gold, extremely precious, priced at 200,000 points of Origin Energy Source. [Three Leaves of Enlightenment Tea (intact), Three Leaves (used)]: Tea Leaves produced by the Innate Treasure Tree of Enlightenment, possessing the effects of enlightenment and insight, drinking the tea made from it allows easy entrance into a state of greatly enhanced Comprehension, and the effect does not diminish with multiple uses. Used Enlightenment Tea Leaves also have certain effectiveness, being important materials in concocting some Comprehension Elixirs. Priced at 660,000 points of Origin Energy Source. [Jade Tea Cup (Finest Immortal Treasure)]: A tea cup used for years by Qing Yunzi, with a touch of Dao Essence. Priced at 100,000 points of Origin Energy Source. Su Xing looked at the simulation rewards in front of him and felt conflicted. In this simulation, Su Xing took a great risk, and the benefits he obtained were also tremendous! Aside from the rewards mentioned above, through a fifty-year immersive simulation that cost less than twenty thousand points of energy, he had harvested a massive amount of comprehension! He had reached the threshold of the initial understanding of the Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Daos, which was the most significant gain! "Heavenly Immortal Realm Perfection Cultivation Level... should I choose it or not?" Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows; he knew he must choose the Enlightenment Tea in this simulation! Three intact leaves and three used leaves of Enlightenment Tea, worth 660,000 points of Origin Energy Source. Although expensive, every time Su Xing could gain hundreds of years of sudden Enlightenment, that was too important! "Tsk, tsk... Even the used leaves of Enlightenment Tea can be used for Alchemy? That''s just too good to be true!" Su Xing smacked his lips, considering trying his hand at it when he had the time to see if he could concoct higher-level Comprehension Elixirs. "If I follow the route of helping Qing Yunzi in every simulation, I can get one cup of Enlightenment Tea, three leaves of Enlightenment Tea Leaves, plus the ones extracted this time, making a total of nine pieces of Enlightenment Tea Leaves!" Su Xing did a quick calculation. One cup of Enlightenment Tea requires three leaves for steeping. The first brewing should be divided into three sips, lasting nine years; the second brewing lasts six years; the third brewing lasts three years. A total of eighteen years! Three cups of Enlightenment Tea, that''s fifty-four years! Equivalent to five hundred and forty years of comprehension! If combined with the state of Late Bloomer, that''s one thousand and eighty years! "It''s just a pity... It''s difficult to accumulate the state of The Great Wisdom in Foolishness for fifty years, twenty years is the limit already..." Su Xing shook his head slightly. Still, even so, one simulation was equivalent to two or three thousand years of Dao Comprehension for Su Xing! In this case, Su Xing''s comprehension of the Dao and Divine Skills would greatly improve! "So, the Enlightenment Tea is a must-choose!" "As for Cultivation Level and Talent..." Su Xing was a bit torn; he also wanted the Water Spirit Divine Body Talent. If he waited until next time, he might have to waste another opportunity to draw for talent. "Alright, I''ve decided! Next time, I''ll take the Cultivation Level with me..." Su Xing nodded slightly. But he didn''t choose the rewards right away, the key reason being that he didn''t have enough Origin Energy Source in his hands... Right now, he only had just over 480,000 points of Origin Energy Source, not enough to exchange for the Enlightenment Tea Leaves. "Phew... let''s check the time, the Puppets organization outside has been trading for two months now, and they should have accumulated a good amount of Origin Energy Source!" Su Xing muttered to himself as he prepared to travel to the Seven Countries and Twelve Domains to collect the goods traded by the Puppets. But before that, Su Xing had to trade with Lu Yuanwu. Thus, Su Xing began to disguise himself and restrain his presence, and quickly completed a trade with Lu Yuanwu, gaining another 20,000 points of Origin Energy Source. In the next week, Su Xing spent six days crafting a batch of Talismans. On the last day, he traveled through the Seven Countries and Twelve Domains, collecting all the goods traded by the Puppets in various countries and domains. Chapter 322 Golden Talent, Divine Body of Metal! Endless Enlightenment Tea!_2 ... Time quickly came to January 6, 2026, in the New Era. That morning, Su Xing took out a few storage rings, his eyes filled with curiosity. "I wonder... how much profit the Puppet organization has brought me in two months?" Thinking so, Su Xing took out the storage ring and delved his Divine Sense into it. He saw that in more than ten storage rings, various items and materials were piled up like mountains. From first to fourth-rank special metal... equipment of qualities ranging from white to purple! Abyss stones, and even various instance dungeon items were all present! Su Xing was tempted and decided to absorb these items and convert them into energy... [Ding, detected items containing large amounts of energy, with a total value of 346,000 Origin Energy Sources... Absorb?] [Ding, detected items with a total value of 270,000... Absorb?] [Ding, detected items with a total value of 180,000... Absorb?] [Ding, detected items...] Su Xing''s eyes flashed with excitement as he murmured, "Just two months... and the Puppet organization has actually traded nearly 900,000 Origin Energy Sources?" Su Xing showed a satisfied expression. Including his previous 500,000 Origin Energy Sources, he had just reached the threshold of 1.4 million. With plentiful Origin Energy Sources, Su Xing decisively said, "I choose to bring out the Water Spirit Divine Body... and the Enlightenment Tea!" [Ding, detected your Talent slot is full, do you wish to spend 10,000 Origin Energy Sources to expand it?] "Yes!" [You''ve successfully spent 10,000 Origin Energy Sources, remaining balance 1,393,216...] [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Water Spirit Divine Body... costing energy 1 point, remaining balance 1,393,206!] [Congratulations on successfully bringing out Enlightenment Tea... costing energy 660,000 points, remaining balance 733,206!] Several notification sounds faded, and a mysterious energy settled into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing felt his talents greatly enhanced, and his sensitivity to the Spiritual Roots in the air around him also greatly improved. Besides, an ancient jade box appeared in front of Su Xing. As Su Xing opened it, he indeed found six thumb-sized green leaves inside. Three of them were plump and vibrant... the other three were wrinkled and shriveled. "Is this... the Enlightenment Tea Leaves!" Su Xing took a deep look; these six leaves had cost him over 600,000 Origin Energy Sources! "Tsk tsk... this is a real treasure! Don''t mess it up..." Su Xing carefully closed the jade box, knowing that if these six leaves were damaged, he''d probably be too upset to eat for months. After finishing all these, Su Xing glanced at the time, feeling he still had plenty left, and went to meet Jin Congxue in the villa area. Upon arriving at the villa area, Su Xing was stunned when he saw Jin Congxue and said in disbelief, "Sister Xue, have you advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage?" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue nodded and said, "Yes... I use every night''s sleeping time to meditate and cultivate, and I found cultivation speeding up!" "Last night, I felt the Spiritual Energy flowing through my meridians and directly slipping into my Dantian, and I inadvertently formed the foundation..." Hearing Jin Congxue''s words, Su Xing''s face darkened momentarily as he felt an inexplicable jealousy. Damn it, he had suffered so much when he advanced to the Foundation Establishment back then! Now it seemed... like a dimensionality reduction attack! Su Xing snorted. sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Just half a month, channeling Qi into the body, stepping into the Foundation Establishment Stage! This speed, truly comparable to the talents of the Great Thousand Worlds! Of course, Su Xing knew this was because Jin Congxue had enough high-grade Spiritual Liquid for cultivation and didn''t even need to use Spirit Stones. Just a drop of high-grade Spiritual Liquid was enough for her to digest in a month. Plus, Su Xing giving her the Heavenly Spirit Root, a Minor Spirit Gathering Array, and top-notch cultivation techniques... that''s why she had such a fast cultivation speed. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire "But, Sister Xue''s physique is really suitable for cultivation!" Su Xing nodded slightly and said to Jin Congxue, "Sister Xue, in the early stages of your cultivation, I won''t give you any Elixirs... Wait until you step into the Golden Core Stage, then I''ll refine some for you to aid your cultivation!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue nodded slightly. Following that, Su Xing and Jin Congxue went through a trading procedure, and just like that, another 30,000+ Origin Energy Sources were in hand. However, now after every trade, Su Xing would "massage" Jin Congxue. By transferring gentle Wooden Immortal Qi into her body, he could easily help Jin Congxue advance. ... Inside the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation. "This simulation can finally extract new talents... only the expansion of 100,000 Origin Energy Sources for Talent extraction is still too expensive!" "We also need to reach the Great Perfection of Heavenly Immortal Realm as soon as possible, the Luo Tian Legacy can''t be delayed any longer!" After planning what needed to be done in this simulation, Su Xing silently said, "Start simulation!" [Simulation 121 initiated, remaining Origin Energy Sources are 771,206 remaining simulation attempts unlimited.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 energy point, draw?] Su Xing didn''t hesitate and nodded, "Yes!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent, Metal-Type Divine Body... next chance of drawing Golden Talent is 60%!] "Holy shit! Struck gold!" "Ah spit... obtained Metal-Type Divine Body!" Su Xing''s eyes widened in disbelief. This Dao of Gold body, had to be the talent he needed the most right now! "Never thought, after so many unlucky draws... I finally got lucky!" Excitement was hard to conceal on Su Xing''s face. Seeing this, it seemed that this simulation, Su Xing would successfully comprehend the Dao of Gold! Chapter 322 Golden Talent, Divine Body of Metal! Endless Enlightenment Tea!_3 "Indeed... The arrival of the Metal Divine Body couldn''t have come at a better time!" Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel. [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are in a simulation.] [After ten days, you head to the Luo Tian Instance, reaping great rewards.] [In the following period, you focus on accumulating the state of Great Wisdom daily in addition to your cultivation, which makes you appear somewhat foolish in real life...] [Several months later, you wipe out the Descending Sect on Blue Star and slay Damned Dragon.] [You visit the ruins of the Commanding Fire Sect; a Vermilion Bird tail feather merges into your body, becoming one with the Li Fire Technique...] [Then, you repair a Transcendance Tribulation Stage puppet, leaving behind several talismans, Immortal Treasures, helping Blue Star hold out for a while longer.] [After all this, you take your family and friends and journey through foreign worlds to the Little Qingyun Realm!] [Upon reaching the Little Qingyun Realm, your first visit is to White Emperor City, where you sell information about the Descending Sect and the Foreign Race.] [In the second year, White Emperor Tower convenes loose cultivators to annihilate the Descending Sect''s major divisions.] [As a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator, you join them, and in just one year, you earn a mighty reputation in the Little Qingyun Realm.] [And because of this, you find yourself on the Descending Sect''s assassination list.] [In the fifth year, an assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm launches an assassination attempt on you, but you manage to kill him instead, effortlessly making it onto the list of the heaven''s prides.] [Next, you continue your cultivation in White Emperor City.] [In the tenth year, the second wave from the Wind and Rain Tower attacks; a True Immortal Realm cultivator takes action against you, but again you manage to kill him, advancing into the top ten of the heaven''s prides list!] [In the twentieth year, the third wave from the Wind and Rain Tower strikes; a mid-stage True Immortal Realm assassin launches an attack on you, but you kill him in turn, ascending to fourth place on the heaven''s prides list!] [By this point, your reputation has resounded throughout the Little Qingyun Realm in just twenty years, becoming known to other forces in the Qingyun Domain, as countless powers extend olive branches toward you.] [But you ignore these offers, choosing instead to head for the Heavenly Secret Pavilion...] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this. The trajectory for the early part of this simulation was something Su Xing had already laid the groundwork for. Now it was time for formal negotiations with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, time to meet with Qing Yunzi. "Just need to follow the same process as the last simulation... and I''ll get another cup of Enlightenment Tea!" "However, this time in the simulation, I need to be wary of the Wind and Rain Tower assassins... There are many ways to deal with them!" "Before the arrival of assassin number one from the Wind and Rain Tower, I can seek protection from the Qingyun Sect... or head to the front lines of Heavenly Demon City, where the assassin would surely not dare to act rashly!" Su Xing did some quick calculations, determining that fully absorbing three cups of Enlightenment Tea would take fifty-four years. "So, after seventy-seven years, it''s immediately time for Enlightenment..." Su Xing thought to himself, his gaze returning to the simulation panel. [After you arrive at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, you do not hide your true identity and inform the girl about the incidents involving Qing Yunzi.] [After you show the Qingyun Token, the girl believes you and asks you to wait for her message patiently.] [Thus, ten years pass.] [By the thirtieth year, your cultivation level reaches the late phase of the eightfold Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [That same year, under the girl''s guidance, you go to the Small Qingyun Sect.] [You meet Immortal Ziling and two Golden Immortals from Heavenly Secret Pavilion and White Emperor City...] [Under the leadership of Immortal Ziling, you all head to the Qingyun Realm.] [At the base of Three Immortals Peak, you receive an invitation from Qing Yunzi and ascend the peak.] [Entering the thatched hut, you meet the weary Qing Yunzi, who brews you a cup of tea.] [You take the Enlightenment Tea, not in a hurry to drink it, and converse with Qing Yunzi about his experiences.] [You present the Diagram of Wishful Visualization to Qing Yunzi, who is profoundly touched and extremely grateful to you.] [You seize the moment to ask for three leaves of Enlightenment Tea...] [Wanting more Enlightenment Tea, but with a flick of Qing Yunzi''s sleeve, you are sent down from the Three Immortals Peak...] In the real world, Su Xing rolled his eyes at this. "Sure enough, Qing Yunzi is as stingy as ever! It seems I can at most get two cups of Enlightenment Tea..." Su Xing muttered to himself, not requiring too much. "Well then, I can now cultivate in peace!" "After eighty years, it''s time to comprehend the Dao of Gold..." His gaze returned to the simulation panel. [Back at the base of Three Immortals Peak, you inform the others about the situation of Qing Yunzi, and then depart from the Qingyun Realm aboard the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat.] Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Next, you change your appearance and conceal your aura, crossing hundreds of Void Nodes, passing through dozens of minor worlds, until you reach the Tianyuan Realm.] [Thus, ten years pass.] [In the fortieth year, you finally reach the Tianyuan Realm.] [You rent a cave dwelling in the Tianyuan Realm and focus on cultivation.] [In the sixtieth year, your cultivation level reaches the summit of the eightfold Heavenly Immortal Realm.] [You spend five years dedicated to breaking through...] [In the sixty-fifth year, your cultivation level successfully reaches the ninthfold Heavenly Immortal Realm.] Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire [After reaching the ninthfold Heavenly Immortal Realm, you prepare to head out to the Golden Wheel Realm!] [After three years of traveling through the Void, on the sixty-eighth year, you successfully arrive at the Golden Wheel Realm...] [Next, you spend ten years gathering electrum stones and finding a suitable location to comprehend the Dao of Gold!] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this and murmured: "The timing is just right, the seventy-eighth year... With the time spent finding electrum stones accounted for, perhaps sixty-two years of immersive simulation would suffice?" Electrum stones, unlike the Innate Fusang Tree Branch, the Black Water Banner, and other treasures, are not Acquired Treasures; the Dao Essence within them is limited. Su Xing would need to spend more time comprehending and also expend effort collecting them, which inevitably means additional time is required. Chapter 322 Golden Talent, Yang Metal Divine Body! Endless Enlightenment Tea!_4 "However, having corresponding treasures to enhance Dao Comprehension is always a good thing!" S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing silently thought to himself: "Using immersive simulation... duration sixty-two years..." [Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, spending 22,630 Origin Energy Points, remaining Origin Energy Points 748,576...] As the simulation notification sound ended, Su Xing''s vision blurred for a moment before he appeared in the simulated world. ... In the Metal Wheel Realm, within a mountain range where Metal Type Spiritual Energy was exceptionally rich, far from the cities of cultivators, many terrifying Demonic Beasts inhabited the area. Among them were no lack of Demon Cultivators of the Human Immortal and Earth Immortal Realms. Su Xing had opened up a cave abode here and then settled down to cultivate in peace. He took out a cup of steaming Enlightenment Tea from his storage ring, the very cup that Qing Yunzi had given him over fifty years ago. Su Xing took a small sip of the tea, about one-third of it, then nodded contentedly and exclaimed, "Truly the work of a Daluo Golden Immortal to brew tea that, even after more than fifty years, is still so sweet!" Su Xing made a jest, feeling the effects of the Enlightenment Tea kicking in, and then began serious contemplation. Activating the Great Wisdom State augment, combined with The Great Wisdom in Foolishness and the multiple states from the Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing''s Dao Comprehension was divinely assisted! Taking out a piece of prepared refined metal ore, Su Xing sat cross-legged and commenced his contemplation! As such, in just a month, Su Xing had grasped the basics of the Origin of Gold! In one year, Su Xing achieved minor achievement in the Origin of Gold! Three years passed, and the first dose of Enlightenment Tea aid ended, while Su Xing''s Origin of Gold had already reached great achievement! Without hesitation, Su Xing consumed the second sip of Enlightenment Tea! In the fourth year, Su Xing perfected the Origin of Gold! Until the sixth year, after the effects of the second sip of Enlightenment Tea had faded... Su Xing completely entered the initial realm of the Dao of Gold! After six years of contemplation, Su Xing slowly stood up, feeling as if time had flown by in his cultivation. "It''s such a pity... I can''t comprehend the Dao of Gold any further for now!" Su Xing sighed, not for any other reason, but because he had used up all of the refined metal ore he had collected! "Tsk tsk, the effects of the refined metal ore are far inferior to the supreme treasures of Dao Essence... but it''s still better than nothing!" "Next, I need to head to the cultivators'' city to purchase some more refined metal ore..." Su Xing stroked his chin, recalling information about the Metal Wheel Realm in his mind. As part of the Middle Thousand Worlds, commerce among immortals in this realm was extremely developed, the fundamental reason being the effects brought about by refined metal ore! A large quantity of refined metal ore was sold in this realm, some cultivators mined year after year just to earn high profits. "It''s time to go to the city... to purchase a batch of refined metal ore!" Thinking thus, Su Xing left the cave abode where he had secluded himself for six years. Once in the bustling city, Su Xing found several local merchant guilds, from which he purchased refined metal ore. The acquisition process went very smoothly. Su Xing went to five merchant guilds and, after displaying his Earth Immortal Realm strength, paid ten million high-grade Spirit Stones to buy a total of five hundred pieces of refined metal ore. However, these five hundred pieces of refined metal ore would require some time, approximately five years, to be delivered to Su Xing. Therefore, Su Xing simply returned to his cave abode to start contemplating the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method! "The Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method... involving the Path of Causality and Destiny, inherited from the ancient Star Witch clan, I shall see what mysteries it holds!" Su Xing drew down a sip of Enlightenment Tea, and began his ascetic contemplation. Thus, three years passed in a flicker. Having completely consumed the first cup of Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing exited his contemplative state, frowning slightly. "This Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method is indeed quite difficult?" "One cup of Enlightenment Tea, three years of arduous cultivation! Equivalent to nearly two hundred years of contemplation, and yet still not even at the beginner level!?" Su Xing''s brows were tightly locked as he fortunately began brewing the second cup of Enlightenment Tea. Two years passed just like that. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire As the effects of the Enlightenment Tea faded, Su Xing emerged from his state of contemplation. Feeling the memories in his mind, Su Xing slightly shook his head and sighed, "The Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method... I''ve ultimately only grasped the mere surface, still some distance away from even the beginner''s level..." Su Xing pondered for a moment and decided to temporarily give up on contemplating the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method and instead focus on the Dao of Gold! Thus, Su Xing made a trip to the cultivator''s city, retrieved five hundred pieces of refined gold stones, and continued his contemplation. In the blink of an eye, another seven years had passed... In these seven years, Su Xing completely assimilated the effects of the first cup of Enlightenment Tea. And Su Xing''s comprehension of the Dao of Gold was only a step away from the embryonic form of the Dao... "It seems it''s time to brew the second cup of Enlightenment Tea!" Su Xing took out three tea leaves and carefully added them to a jade cup, then brought out the Spring Dew Pure Water, boiled it to a steaming bubble, and began the first steep. The first steep of Enlightenment Tea had the best effect. After drinking the first sip, Su Xing continued his contemplation of the Dao of Gold! Just like that, three more years passed in a flash... During Su Xing''s contemplation, the sound of golden weapons clashing occasionally flickered through the surrounding spiritual energy. The profound essence of the Dao was swiftly comprehended by Su Xing, causing some kind of transformation in the surrounding cave dwelling! It was no exaggeration to say that if cultivators discovered this cave dwelling where Su Xing had secluded himself years later, it would definitely become a sacred place for those with a Metal Type Spiritual Root to cultivate! ... Finally, one day Su Xing woke from his contemplation, a glint of gold flashing in his eyes. As if boundless Dao Essence was wrapped around him, lingering for a long time! He had just glimpsed the threshold of the Dao of Gold! Joy was evident on Su Xing''s face. Thus, among the Five Elements Dao of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and including the Great Dao of Thunder, Su Xing had reached the threshold of initial comprehension for each! Su Xing estimated the time and exclaimed, "At this point, it should be the twenty-sixth year of my immersive simulation, from being completely ignorant to just glimpsing the threshold of the Dao of Gold!" "Such speed, if spoken of, would probably shock all the cultivators in the Three Thousand Worlds!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s lips curved slightly upward. This continuous consumption of Enlightenment Tea, not to mention the Saint Heirs of immortal sects, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would be reluctant to indulge as such! A preeminent powerhouse like Qing Yunzi, akin to a Daluo Golden Immortal, might have some Enlightenment Tea in hand. But they would drink it only when they had some inspiration and were about to achieve Enlightenment, for an even better effect! Yet Su Xing drank Enlightenment Tea as if it was water! Every simulation consumed nine leaves of Enlightenment Tea! Thus, Su Xing''s speed of comprehending the Dao and Divine Skills would exceed the imagination of Immortals! "All Five Elements of the Dao have just glimpsed the threshold... so I''m not far from the True Immortal Realm!" "Only the final Wind Calamity remains to achieve True Immortality!" Su Xing pondered for a while. "However, there''s still plenty of time left in this immersive simulation, naturally it cannot be wasted!" With that thought, Su Xing looked at his collection of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method and gritted his teeth, "Humph! Just how hard can this Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method be!" Filled with confidence, Su Xing looked at the remaining Enlightenment Tea Leaves and declared, "Today, I, Su Xing, vow to tackle this challenge, and if I don''t succeed... I might as well find a block of frozen tofu and knock myself out!" Chapter 323 Ranked Second on the Heavens Pride List, 3600 Sword Qi Barriers! Su Xing took a deep breath and began the second brewing of the Enlightenment Tea. The effect of the second brewing of the Enlightenment Tea, which enhanced comprehension, would only last for two years. "Although I''ve lost the enhancement from the Great Wisdom State, I still have fifteen more opportunities to drink the Enlightenment Tea... a total of twenty-seven years of enhanced comprehension. I refuse to believe I can''t grasp it!" Without any hesitation, Su Xing drank a sip of the Enlightenment Tea and then began to contemplate the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thus, two years later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and frowned, saying, "This Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method is just too difficult... Let''s go again! This young master doesn''t believe he can''t do it!" And so, another two years passed... "Again, this young master doesn''t believe he can''t do it!" "..." "Again!" "Again!" In this manner, nine years flew by in the blink of an eye! In the thirty-sixth year of the immersive simulation, the effects of Su Xing''s second cup of Enlightenment Tea were completely exhausted. ... That day, Su Xing sat in his cave dwelling with a freshly brewed cup of Enlightenment Tea in front of him, its steaming heat revealing the profound essence of the Dao. Su Xing did not look at that profound Dao essence but lamented, "Damn, this Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method really is tough!" "Nine whole years... and I haven''t even reached the threshold!" Su Xing smacked his lips. Although he had not reached the threshold, his understanding of the Cause and Effect Grand Dao had progressed significantly! He was now just one step away from the threshold of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method! Su Xing estimated that after reaching the threshold, he should be able to reach the initial stage of comprehension in the Path of Causality and Destiny. It''s known that the Path of Causality and Destiny is one of the two most difficult Dao to understand, and Su Xing was attempting to comprehend both simultaneously? Even some True Immortal Realm cultivators, after depleting ten thousand years of their lifespan, would likely struggle to reach the initial stage of comprehension... Only Golden Immortals with their long lifespans, blessed with a million years, could afford to spend their lifespan on the understanding of the Dao of Fate and Causality. Su Xing took another deep breath, looked at the spiritedly steaming tea, first sipped a little Enlightenment Tea, letting the warm liquid swirl around in his mouth, before slowly swallowing it. After drinking the tea, within only a few breaths, Su Xing''s mind became clear, and his comprehension greatly increased. So, after the Enlightenment Tea took effect, Su Xing closed his eyes, calmed his spirit, and completely immersed his mind in the mysteries of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire The Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method is a profound technique to peer into the Path of Causality and Destiny. The mysterious text of the Witch Clan contained the mysteries of the stars and the secrets of the universe. As Su Xing cultivated the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, it was as if he were standing beneath the vast starry sky, isolated within the universe, with each star speaking to him of the principles of cause and effect. The connections between each star, echoing each other from afar, seemed to hint at certain omens and destinies. Days passed, and Su Xing, in his closed-door cultivation, furrowed his brows tighter and tighter. He could feel his progress, but reaching the true threshold seemed to be just beyond breaking through a layer of fog. And so, Su Xing continued to contemplate day and night. Three years flew by in a blink of an eye. Finally, before the effect of this dose of Enlightenment Tea faded, Su Xing felt that the fog was finally pierced by him! It was as refreshing as a prolonged drought meeting a sweet rain; the sensation of this breakthrough was indescribably delicious... Su Xing sat cross-legged in his cave dwelling, a profound essence of the Dao emanating from him, dream-like and not clearly visible. At a certain moment, Su Xing opened his eyes. After twelve years of seclusion, at last, Su Xing''s comprehension of the Path of Causality and Destiny reached the initial stage! "Twelve years in the blink of an eye!" Su Xing felt quite emotional. "But fortunately, I''ve achieved my goal and advanced further in the Path of Causality and Destiny!" Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, introspected with his Divine Sense, and then saw a vast starry sky. In that universe of stars, countless stars twinkled, each filled with profound Dao essence. With these stars, Su Xing began to probe the Path of Causality and Destiny... Several days later, Su Xing emerged from this profound state, nodding in satisfaction and saying, "The Path of Causality and Destiny truly is profound!" "With my current abilities, not only can I divine my own safety, but I can also clearly perceive the cause and effect among the ten swords, and even reversing cause and effect is not difficult!" Su Xing discovered that this Cause and Effect Destiny could also be used as an offensive technique! For instance, if Su Xing wanted to deal with a Human Immortal Realm cultivator, he only needed to reverse the cause and effect on them and, at a certain cost, he could sever their Dao path! "Tsk, tsk, cultivators who comprehend the Cause and Effect Grand Dao can kill invisibly!" Of course, the Path of Causality and Destiny was of the greatest use to Su Xing for concealing Heavenly Secrets, making him even safer! After entering the initial stage, Su Xing''s likelihood of eluding the Red Moon''s probing greatly increased; even some Profound Immortal Realm cultivators would struggle to detect Su Xing. "Can I now, to some extent, shield perception when I make a move and even make the Descending Sect completely unaware of my existence?" Su Xing pondered for a while. If it were truly so, the effect would be similar to the talent "I am Passerby A" that Su Xing previously obtained, which would significantly reduce his presence. However, Su Xing could freely choose his target, so it wouldn''t affect his daily life! "After returning, I''ll try this method!" "If it really works... it will make things much more convenient in the future!" So thought Su Xing. "In the thirty-ninth year of immersive simulation, the Path of Causality and Destiny has also smoothly reached the initial stage of comprehension, so what comes next... it''s time to comprehend the other Divine Skills and Paths!" Su Xing began to think about his weaknesses. Now, Su Xing had reached the initial stage of comprehension in all Five Elements Dao, an exceedingly rare existence among those in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Chapter 325 Preparations for Leaving Blue Star, Red Moons Blockade of Blue Star! [10,000 words] In Su Xing''s mind, the information about the Wind-Calming Pearl surfaced. The Wind-Calming Pearl is a special semi-step Acquired Treasure that belongs to the energy-storing type of Spiritual Treasure. It needs to be placed where the Dao of the Five Elements, wind, is abundant to continuously absorb the surrounding Dao Essence, to serve the purpose of storing energy. And once fully charged, the Wind-Calming Pearl can unleash its full effect, acting as a protector for cultivators! Even amidst the terrifying wind calamity, it could protect the cultivator''s Divine Soul from perishing, preventing the cultivator from dying due to a failed Tribulation Crossing. "Not a few cultivators at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, before crossing the wind calamity... even if it costs them their entire fortune, they still need to get a Wind-Calming Pearl!" "This also makes the price of the Wind-Calming Pearl remain high... Although it''s only a semi-step Acquired Spiritual Treasure, its price is even higher than some Acquired Treasures!" Su Xing blinked, but a mere Wind-Calming Pearl was, for Su Xing, not much of an issue. "The real difficulty is to unify the Five Elements Dao before the True Immortal Realm! And then to overcome the wind calamity in one fell swoop!" Su Xing had delved into the Dao of the Five Elements a long time ago. The Cultivation Technique and secret technique left by the Five Elements True Master, the Five Elements Generative Decree, is an exceptionally remarkable technique of the Five Elements. Even with Su Xing''s current cultivation level, he could still glean some inspiration from this cultivation technique and secret technique. Su Xing came back from his plans for the future, only to start frowning again soon after. Looking at the tens of thousands of Origin Energy Source points on the Simulation Panel, Su Xing lamented, "Poor! In the end, it''s all because I''m poor!" Su Xing estimated that to carry out his cultivation level from the True Immortal Realm, the Origin Energy Source needed would start at least at three hundred thousand! And that was a conservative estimate! However, Su Xing''s current Origin Energy Source was still quite a bit short of three hundred thousand... "Based on my current income, within the Great Xia Country, I can bring in a maximum of fifty to almost sixty thousand points of Origin Energy Source each week." Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire "Taking into account the additional energy from the other six countries and the Twelve Domains... that''s about ninety thousand a week." "Overall, if I don''t take other measures, the entire Blue Star brings me... merely a meager one hundred and fifty thousand points of Origin Energy Source each week." One hundred and fifty thousand points of Origin Energy Source surely wasn''t a small number! But for Su Xing, who was about to reach the True Immortal Realm, it was still too little... Su Xing estimated that after reaching the True Immortal Realm, even if he only broke through two levels of cultivation with each simulation, it would require a base of six hundred thousand Origin Energy Source! This didn''t even include the points needed for Su Xing''s Immersive Simulation, to exchange for talent... as well as the points for various treasures and Divine Skills. "Blue Star, in terms of its current strength, can''t even compete with a Minor Thousand Worlds... Even if an ordinary world pooled all of its resources and manpower, it would probably not accumulate a million Origin Energy Source in a year." "Yet, the upper limit of Blue Star is far from this... naturally because it was once part of the Luo Tian Realm, a former Great Thousand Worlds... hence it possesses such an abundance of resources!" After pausing, Su Xing continued to think: "However, one hundred and fifty thousand Origin Energy Source per week is still not enough!" "With my current strength... I need to trade with the official authorities of the entire sixth nation as soon as possible, which will definitely bring in more resources!" "But distant water won''t quench immediate thirst... Right now, I need to think about how to gather enough energy to advance to the True Immortal Realm!" Su Xing pondered deeply and finally heaved a sigh, "The only thing to do now is to hurry Lu Yuanwu... and see if I can get more Alien Metal ores from him!" Su Xing had plenty of cards up his sleeve, cards that the Great Xia Military would probably be interested in. As long as he offered a portion, it would be easy to get his hands on a large quantity of Alien Metal and other resources. Thinking this, Su Xing began to disguise himself and prepared to trade with Lu Yuanwu. ... Moments later, Su Xing appeared at the agreed location, Lu Yuanwu had already been waiting for a long time. "Elder! This is this week''s collection of Alien Metal ores!" Lu Yuanwu passed a Storage Ring with respectful demeanor, paused for a moment, and then earnestly requested, "Elder, in half a month... I, along with ten other Martial Emperors, will be preparing to advance to Legendary Level..." "At that time... could I trouble you to act as our protector?" Lu Yuanwu''s tone was somewhat humble. After listening, Su Xing gestured dismissively and said, "There''s no need for such formality between us... helping you advance to Legendary is part of the deal, isn''t it?" After Su Xing spoke, Lu Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were strong enough, without Su Xing''s assurance, these Martial Emperors really dared not break through to Legendary... Su Xing exchanged the Alien Metal in the Storage Ring, adding another twenty thousand Origin Energy Source points. However, this amount of Origin Energy Source was already a bit insufficient! So Su Xing was straightforward and said to Lu Yuanwu, "After I help you break through to Legendary Level, I have some important matters to attend to... I may have to stop trading for a while." Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Lu Yuanwu quickly asked, "Elder, where are you going? How long will you need?"

Lu Yuanwu''s directness came through, and after speaking, he realized that it might be inappropriate, so he added another sentence, "If it''s... convenient for you to say?" Su Xing''s expression eased a bit, thought for a moment, and said, "What I''m going to do cannot be divulged... but it will take a short time of three months, or as long as half a year!" "The trading will be paused during this period... so I would like to ask you, could we complete our trades all at once in advance?" After speaking, Su Xing took out another Storage Ring, which contained two thousand bottles of Origin Martial Pills. One bottle of Origin Martial Pill holds ten, that is, twenty thousand pills, which was needed for the trades of the next two months. In addition, Su Xing took out another Storage Ring, filled with a large amount of fifth-tier Talismans! Chapter 325 Preparations for Leaving Blue Star, Red Moons Blockade of Blue Star!

After converting to the origin energy source, Su Xing did not hesitate and promptly headed to the 21st level of the Abyss. Next, Su Xing spent less than four hours sweeping through levels 20 to 30 of the Abyss. He amassed nearly 5,000 points of origin energy source! ... At the entrance of the 31st level of the Abyss, Su Xing murmured to the cave ahead: "Next, it''s time to enter the 31st level of the Abyss... After level 31, the number of Martial Emperor Level Abyssal Foreign Race increases... But the overall number of Foreign Race decreases, I wonder how much energy I can obtain?" In the blink of an eye, Su Xing appeared on the 31st level of the Abyss. The place was still a sea of crimson, crimson skies, crimson earth. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing''s divine sense once again enveloped the entire 31st level of the Abyss. Hundreds of red-eyed Foreign Race roamed this Abyss, the weakest among them being at Heavenly King Level, and there were quite a few at Martial Emperor Level as well. "Well then, let''s start a new round of harvest!" Without hesitation, Su Xing immediately released his Scorching Flame Art divine skill. In a moment, countless flames swept over the 31st level of the Abyss. The red-eyed Foreign Race of the 31st level of the Abyss were all burned to death, leaving behind Abyss Stones. [Ding, detected energy-containing material, value 873 points of origin energy source, absorb?] "Yes!" Without any hesitation, Su Xing immediately chose to absorb. "The 31st level of the Abyss, the Foreign Race hold more origin energy source!" "So... let''s continue to sweep downward!" Next, Su Xing spent six hours sweeping from the 31st to the 40th levels of the Abyss. He gained approximately 10,000 points of origin energy source. ... One day later, Su Xing successfully swept through the 50th level of the Abyss. He obtained 15,000 points of origin energy source! sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Another day passed... the 60th level of the Abyss provided 20,000 points of origin energy source! ... In total, it took Su Xing four days to sweep from the 20th level of the Abyss to the 80th level! From the lowest Grandmaster Level Foreign Race to Great Emperor Level Foreign Race, all fell at Su Xing''s hands! In four days, Su Xing amassed close to 100,000 points of origin energy source! At the entrance of the 81st level of the Abyss, Su Xing stopped, and did not rashly enter. "After the 81st level... it''s probably the main territory of Saint Level red-eyed Foreign Race!" "This Abyss... the deeper it goes, the stronger the Foreign Race? I wonder... what will be the highest level of Foreign Race that appears?" After some thought, Su Xing decided to stop here and not venture further. "Once I return from the Little Qingyun Realm... and further improve my strength, this place might be a good spot to farm for energy!" After speaking, Su Xing left the Abyss... On the sixth day, Su Xing went to the Six Countries Twelve Domains and contacted the Puppet organization, only managing to amass under 50,000 points of origin energy source in a week. ... Time quickly came to January 13, 2026 of the New Era. Su Xing went to meet Jin Congxue. This week, Jin Congxue''s cultivation level had grown, almost reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment! Even Su Xing found himself slightly embarrassed by such a cultivation speed! After the transaction with Jin Congxue was over, Su Xing''s hands once again held over 30,000 points of origin energy source. In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing prepared to launch a new round of simulation. Su Xing looked at the simulated energy on the panel A total of 298,453 points of origin energy source! "Pity... still a bit short of 300,000 origin energy source, and immersive simulation also requires energy consumption. Perhaps I can accumulate more foundation before breaking through to the True Immortal Realm..." With that thought, Su Xing began to set the objectives for this simulation. "Firstly, traverse through the wind disaster, and break through to the True Immortal Realm as far as possible! Whether the energy is sufficient to upgrade, will be determined by the situation!" "Secondly, the Five Elements Dao needs further enlightenment! Merging the Five Elements Dao should be scheduled soon!" "Thirdly, as for the Great Dao of Space... aim to reach Minor Achievement as soon as possible!" "Lastly, it''s time to try breaking through space and heading to the Little Qingyun Realm on my own..." After setting his targets, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the simulation panel. "Begin simulation!" [Simulation No. 122 initiated, current remaining origin energy source is 298,453 points... Unlimited simulation attempts remaining.] [Simulation starting!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of origin energy source, extract?] Su Xing did not hesitate: "Yes!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent Astrology... Next chance to extract a Golden Talent is 60%!] "Holy smokes, another golden draw?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow; his golden draw rate had really been quite high recently! He had drawn Golden Talents several times in a row already... "Could it be, my luck is really turning around?" Su Xing''s eyes twinkled with amusement as he looked at this Talent''s description. [Astrology]: Golden Talent, you have a greatly increased understanding of celestial bodies, allowing you to use star observation to predict cause and effect destiny... Greatly enhancing your talent for divination! "Hmm? This talent..." Su Xing raised an eyebrow; he had indeed drawn a similar talent once before, purple quality, akin to astrology talent. "These two Talents do share something in common... both enhance the understanding of the Cause and Effect Grand Dao!" "What''s more important is, it perfectly complements the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method!" Su Xing was slightly excited. He had previously practiced the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method and had spent decades using Enlightenment Tea to barely reach beginner status. With this Astrology Talent, Su Xing''s comprehension in the Way of Cause and Effect would see a significant increase! "Not bad, this Talent has come at just the right time!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and turned his gaze back to the simulation panel. [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are in a simulation!] ``` Chapter 325 Preparations for Leaving Blue Star, Red Moons Blockade of Blue Star! [10,000 words]_4 ``` [One week later, you and Lu Yuanwu successfully traded, obtaining 50,000 tons of Fourth-Rank Special Metal...] [You helped Lu Yuanwu and others break through to the Legendary Level... In one week, eleven Martial Emperor powerhouses successively entered the Legendary Instance.] [Among them, seven successfully broke through to the Legendary Level, while the other four remained forever within the instance...] [Lu Yuanwu was lucky and successfully advanced to the Legendary Level!] [You used your methods, observed the cause and effect on these people, and temporarily blocked their connection with the Red Moon, helping them stay on Blue Star!] [Another half a month passed, and you prepared to head to the Luo Tian Instance to deepen your understanding of the True Immortal Realm...] In the real world, Su Xing slightly frowned upon seeing this. "Eleven Martial Emperors... Seven advanced successfully, huh?" A success rate of over sixty percent was considered excellent. But Su Xing was not satisfied... "Each Martial Emperor is a high-level combat force worthy of Great Xia Country and the Human Race, it would be best not to lose any..." "Perhaps, I can give them some pointers later to help them break through smoothly?" Su Xing thought this and then silently recited: "Use immersive simulation, duration... One day!" [Ding...] As the simulation alert sounded, Su Xing entered the Luo Tian Instance. "Disciple, go to the back mountain and call your Shennong junior fellow over..." Su Xing skillfully went through the mission processes and then visited the scene of the Luo Tian Conference. Looking at the palm-sized Supreme Treasure floating in the air, the Luo Tian Mirror! Su Xing was quite envious! "Soon... very soon!" "After I break into the True Immortal Realm... I shall obtain this mirror smoothly!" S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing calmed his excitement, not rushing the moment. Next, Su Xing found Luo Qingniu and inquired about the precautions for breaking through from the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the True Immortal Realm. "Master... I wanted to ask, is there anything special I should watch out for when breaking through from the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the True Immortal Realm?" In the grand hall of the Luo Tian Sect, Luo Qingniu felt somewhat emotional upon hearing Su Xing''s words: "Unknowingly, your cultivation level is also approaching the True Immortal Realm!" "Then... it''s time to tell you about the differences between the True Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm..." Luo Qingniu asked: "Disciple, what do you think is the biggest difference between the True Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm?" Su Xing was momentarily taken aback upon hearing Luo Qingniu''s question. The difference between the Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal Realms? He really didn''t know! He had already killed several at the peak of the True Immortal Realm... and felt no difference from the Heavenly Immortal Realm! But since this was Luo Qingniu''s test, Su Xing still voiced his thoughts: Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire "Master, I think... the biggest difference between the Heavenly Immortal Realm and the True Immortal Realm is the thickness of mana, as well as the comprehension of the Great Dao!" "Even cultivators at the early stage of the True Immortal Realm have mana more than twice as dense as those at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" "Moreover, True Immortal Realm cultivators, regarding their comprehension of the Great Dao, many have achieved minor success!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Qingniu nodded slightly and explained: "Xiao Chuan... What you said, partially answers the question!" "The difference between the Heavenly Immortal Realm and the True Immortal Realm, besides mana and the comprehension of the Great Dao... the biggest, the most fundamental difference, is lifespan!" Su Xing was startled upon hearing this... Lifespan? This Su Xing naturally understood, but isn''t every realm of an immortal characterized by a great increase in lifespan? Seeing Su Xing''s puzzlement, Luo Qingniu explained: "Cultivators in the Human Immortal Realm have a lifespan of ten thousand years!" "Earth Immortal Realm cultivators live twenty thousand years... Heavenly Immortal Realm forty thousand years, and if they take life-extending medicines, up to fifty thousand years!" "And the True Immortal Realm... even more terrifying, with a lifespan of a hundred thousand years, and if their foundation is undamaged and they take secret medicines... they can live as long as one epoch!" After a pause, Luo Qingniu declared emphatically: "Living longer is the greatest reliance of True Immortal Realm cultivators!" Su Xing pondered upon hearing this. If a cultivator cultivates for long enough, mastering more Divine Skills and the Great Dao, they will definitely be much stronger! Sure enough, Luo Qingniu''s words confirmed Su Xing''s guess: "Those who can cultivate to the True Immortal Realm... the least talented have a Super Spiritual Root!" "Many are gifted with alien spiritual roots or even divine physiques!" "Therefore, after the True Immortal Realm... talent is often not the deciding factor, as everyone''s talent won''t be too poor!" Pausing, Luo Qingniu continued: "Beyond this realm, what truly sets them apart is their comprehension of the Great Dao, mastery of various Divine Arts, the presence of any flaws, and control of the Spirit Domain..." "In the True Immortal Realm, living through one epoch, most True Immortal Realm cultivators, if nothing unexpected happens, can successfully cultivate to the peak of the True Immortal Realm." "But whether they have adventures, or what their fortune is like, becomes the key..." "True Immortal Realm cultivators usually spend tens of thousands of years covering their weaknesses; those with weaker physical bodies buy treasures to refine their physique!" "Those with insufficient comprehension of the Great Dao try to obtain Dao Essence treasures to enhance their understanding of the Dao..." "Those with less dense mana buy Heaven and Earth Treasures to cleanse their mana..." "All these create significant gaps within the True Immortal Realm because what they compare in this realm is their foundation!" Upon hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, it was difficult for Su Xing not to agree. He himself did the same, spending a lot of time and energy covering his weaknesses, ensuring he could maintain an absolute advantage within the same realm, even crossing realms to battle. This would allow him to take fewer detours after breaking into the True Immortal Realm. Su Xing briefly calculated in his mind. Cultivators in the ordinary Human Immortal Realm probably spend ninety percent of their time in cultivation, rarely having time to refine their arts and techniques... otherwise, when their life is close to the end, it would inevitably be sad. ``` Chapter 325 Preparations for Leaving Blue Star, Red Moons Blockade of Blue Star! [10,000 words]_5 Only those with sufficient talent can afford to spend time refining art and technique, comprehending the Great Dao, all while not neglecting their cultivation level. Similarly, cultivators in both Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal Realms face the same situation. The increasing difficulty of cultivation means they dedicate most of their time to enhancing their Qi Refining Cultivation, and those who possess overwhelming strength in this realm are indeed exceptional prodigies. "True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal, it''s like a vast chasm!" Su Xing smacked his lips, feeling somewhat yearning. Although he had already killed several cultivators of the True Immortal Realm, he hadn''t reached True Immortality himself and couldn''t help but desire it. While Su Xing was reflecting, Luo Qingniu brought up the key point. "As for the Wind Calamity, it is the most dangerous and difficult of the three calamities faced by immortals... but it brings the greatest benefits!" "A wind that passes through the Dantian, purifies the Divine Soul it also enhances a cultivator''s talent and comprehension of the Great Dao!" "Xiao Chuan, I can only tell you the longer you endure the Wind Calamity, the greater the benefits will be for your future! Therefore, you must take it seriously!" Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire "Ordinary Heavenly Immortals may endure the Wind Calamity for several decades, which is considered excellent but for the very top prodigies, enduring a hundred years is not difficult!" Luo Qingniu paused, then continued, "Our Luo Tian Sect''s ancestor, during the Wind Calamity, endured for five hundred and six years... ranking within the top ten in the entire Three Thousand Worlds!" "If you want to ascend to the Great Luo Realm you must endure the Wind Calamity for at least three hundred years upward..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows. Three hundred years of Wind Calamity? But... he hasn''t simulated even three hundred years! What should he do? Su Xing pondered with a slight frown. Then Luo Qingniu continued, "Of course, the Wind Calamity is perilous; it''s best to prepare enough Wind-Calming Pearls to ensure your Divine Soul remains unharmed... allowing you to easily get through the initial phases of the calamity..." Hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, Su Xing gained a deeper understanding of the Wind Calamity. After bidding farewell to Luo Qingniu, Su Xing headed to the Scripture Pavilion to continue learning the Dao of Puppets from Ghost Grandma. At the same time, Su Xing also learned a Divine Skill called "Summoning"! This technique could summon inanimate objects within a certain range, a truly divine method. With this Divine Skill, Su Xing would no longer need to laboriously pick up Abyss Stones himself. ... The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. "Before reaching the True Immortal Realm, I''ve completely understood the final Wind Calamity..." "Now, let''s try to traverse the Wind Calamity!" Su Xing had an immature thoughtif he could just extract the Wind Calamity without converting to the True Immortal Cultivation... Wouldn''t he be able to constantly stack up and gain immense benefits from the Wind Calamity? "This is just a preliminary idea whether it can be accomplished, I still need to see through practice!" Su Xing thought this, his gaze turning towards the simulation panel. [After coming out of the Luo Tian Instance, you have gained a lot.] [Next, you plan to find a passage to the Little Qingyun Realm...] [Throughout Blue Star, there are many Void Nodes leading to different worlds.] [However, all the Void Nodes are covered by a mighty force like a spider web making it hard for people on Blue Star to leave easily.] [You found a weak point previously discovered, confident that with your strength and comprehension of the Great Dao of Space, you can pass through...] [But what you want is not just to leave Blue Star but to do so undetected...] [And also, find a way to return to Blue Star smoothly!] [Getting out is easy, but coming back is hard...] [But you must try.] [So, you continuously set up formations within this Void Node, shielding perception while also using the Dao of Destiny to shield your own Heavenly Secrets.] [Fortunately, your Path of Causality and Destiny reached the initial stage of comprehension, greatly shielding you from the Red Moon sensing your energy.] [You are confident that even if you break through the Void Node, you will not be discovered...] [You prepared for a full week.] [After one week, you rode the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, turning into a streak of golden light, zooming across the void towards the direction of Little Qingyun Realm...] [Little Qingyun Realm is only a few Void Nodes away from Blue Star, and as soon as you reached the void, you began to search for the direction of Little Qingyun Realm.] [After traveling through the void for over two years... you finally found a correct path leading to the Little Qingyun Realm!] Back in the real world, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow. "To stay in the void for two years? This..." Clearly, Su Xing was not willing to waste two years doing nothing. After all, in the void, Su Xing had difficulty cultivating, let alone gaining Origin Energy... "Wait...I was mistaken..." "It should be that Blue Star''s location is uncertain, covered by the Red Moon''s shielding..."

"If successful, with my Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, perhaps I could reach the Little Qingyun Realm in just two months..." "And if I break through to the True Immortal Realm, maybe it''ll take only a month!" But at the same time, Su Xing was also worried. "It''s easy to leave... but coming back is difficult!" "If I leave Blue Star... the achievements of these past few years will turn to nothing, and I will also lose the biggest source of energy..." Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow. Though the cultivators of Blue Star are weak, the Origin Energy produced by the world each year cannot be said to match Little Qingyun Realm, but it probably surpasses that of ordinary Minor Thousand Worlds. Su Xing was also thinking of making a big profit from the energy using the resources of Little Qingyun Realm and Blue Star! "I still need to find a way to come back!" Su Xing thought this, his gaze turning towards the simulation panel. [At the beginning of the third year, you successfully reached Little Qingyun Realm.] [After arriving in Little Qingyun Realm, you sold a great amount of information to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and earned a whopping five million drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid!] Chapter 325 Preparations for Leaving Blue Star, Red Moons Blockade of Blue Star!

Your current understanding of the Great Dao of Space wasn''t sufficient to traverse The Void and find the precise coordinates of Blue Star...] In the real world, Su Xing''s brows were tightly knit. "Red Moon, the blockade around Blue Star... it''s not just internal, is it also external?" "Because... It fears being discovered by the Three Thousand Worlds, that It had not perished, and had even revived by relying on slaughter!" "It fears being discovered by those powerful cultivators and thus being annihilated?" Su Xing slightly nodded, fearing that the truth was indeed so. Compared to the internal lockdown, Red Moon''s external blockade was even more terrifying! With Su Xing''s cultivation level and understanding of the Great Dao of Space, he knew for certain that Blue Star was here, yet he still couldn''t locate it... This showed just how difficult it was to find Blue Star! "I fear, unless someone is determined to search, even a Golden Immortal might have trouble finding Red Moon and Blue Star!" Su Xing took a deep breath, somewhat understanding why Red Moon had always seemed so fearless. Around the Little Qingyun Realm, it was almost impossible for a Golden Immortal cultivator to exist... Therefore, unless something unexpected occurred, it was certain that Red Moon could revive. "However, as long as I intervene, Red Moon won''t find reviving so easy!" Su Xing clenched his fists; since he couldn''t find the way back to Blue Star, he would further enhance his understanding of the Great Dao of Space! Perhaps after reaching a minor achievement in the Dao of Space, things might change... "Thus, next, before leaving Blue Star, I must focus on understanding the Great Dao of Space!" Su Xing''s mouth curled up slightly; understanding the Dao of Space might be difficult, But for Su Xing, who possessed Enlightenment Tea... it was just a matter of time! Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the simulation panel.

Moreover, they were often priceless...] [When resources were scarce, they were even inflated to over eighty million!] [And the guilds of the Little Qingyun Realm didn''t have Wind-Calming Pearls for sale.] [Heavenly Secret Pavilion informed you that if you wished to purchase a Wind-Calming Pearl, Money Guild was an excellent place to go!] [After learning this, you traveled to Money Guild in the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, intending to purchase a Wind-Calming Pearl...] (Ten-thousand-word chapter, making up for yesterday ah~) Chapter 326 The Way of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, Summoning the Wind Disaster! Su Xing nodded slightly. Before preparing to break through the Wind Calamity, the Wind-Calming Pearl was essential. Although the Wind-Calming Pearl was expensive, Su Xing, with his vast wealth, should have been able to acquire quite a few. "One Wind-Calming Pearl, with continuous use, will lead to diminishing effectsthe effectiveness will halve after ten years...and after thirty years, it will completely lose its effectiveness." "If you want to perfectly overcome the Wind Calamity, you at least need to prepare more than five Wind-Calming Pearls!" Su Xing murmured to himself, feeling slightly emotional. Ordinary cultivators at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm would have to spend all their wealth just to afford one Wind-Calming Pearl. But Su Xing planned to buy five in one go... "Fortunately, with the inheritance from the Luo Tian Sect and Daoist Yellow Sand''s legacy, I should be able to afford these five Wind-Calming Pearls..." Thinking thus, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the simulation panel. "The nearest Money Guild to you is naturally in the Cangwu Realm." "You first traveled to the Yellow Sand Realm and spent several months acquiring the legacy of Daoist Yellow Sand..." "Then you spent two years traveling through the chaotic flows of The Void, successfully arriving at the Money Guild in the Cangwu Realm!" "By then, your fame had already begun to spread around the Small Qingyun Realm...undoubtedly, the person in charge of the Money Guild knew your great name!" "He courteously invited you into the VIP room and inquired about your purpose." "You stated that you were here to purchase the Wind-Calming Pearls!" "Hearing this, the branch president of the Money Guild showed a look of surprise, naturally knowing that the Wind-Calming Pearls you requested were to break through to the True Immortal Realm!" "And with your strength, ranked in the top fifty of the Heavenly Pride list, breaking into the True Immortal Realm was almost inevitable..." "Thus, the president of the Money Guild told you that in a month, there would be Wind-Calming Pearls up for auction at the Money Guild''s auction." "By then, several veteran cultivators from the Heavenly Immortal Realm might also come to purchase." "After hearing this, you frowned slightly, stating that you needed to purchase them in advance, but the branch president apologetically explained that he had to abide by the rules, and you must attend the auction." "Having no choice, you had to wait for a month in the Cangwu Realm." "After a month, you purchased one Wind-Calming Pearl at the auction for the price of 68 million High-grade Spirit Stones." "This was the only one available at the auction, and you barely managed to purchase it, paying nearly 20 million Spirit Stones over the expected price." "Two cultivators, both over 30,000 years old and at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, indignantly left the venue, missing the auction." "Although you acquired the first Wind-Calming Pearl, you were not satisfied, as it fell short of your requirements." "You inquired with the branch president of the Money Guild if there were other places to auction Wind-Calming Pearls." "He informed you that in the Tianyuan Realm, there was a larger supply of Wind-Calming Pearls, with one or two being auctioned off every ten years..." "Having no choice, you headed to the Tianyuan Realm, prepared to auction for Wind-Calming Pearls." "Traveling in the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, you successfully reached the Tianyuan Realm after seven years..."

"At this moment, you had three Wind-Calming Pearls in hand, yet you still decided not to break through, opting to wait for the next auction, ten years later." "In the nineteenth year, one day, an assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower, in the middle phase of the True Immortal Realm, appeared, intending to assassinate you." "You fought fiercely for several days and ultimately killed him!" "Thus, you advanced further in the ranking of the Heavenly Pride list, entering the top ten!" "Many cultivators in the Tianyuan Realm knew that Su Ye not only had exceptional strength, ranking in the top ten of the Heavenly Pride list but also possessed terrifying wealth...his worth was comparable to a cultivator of the True Immortal Realm!" "Although you were somewhat displeased after hearing this, you didn''t mind much. If a True Immortal Realm cultivator wanted to rob or kill you, you were not worried." "As for a Profound Immortal, they would unlikely risk their reputation over such resources." "You waited another eight years in the Tianyuan Realm." "In the twenty-seventh year, you participated in the second auction and acquired another two Wind-Calming Pearls." "By this time, you had gathered a total of five Wind-Calming Pearls." "So, you decided not to stay any longer, but directly navigated the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to return to the Small Qingyun Realm!" "In the thirty-fifth year, you successfully reached the Small Qingyun Realm." "You went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, found the young girl from the pavilion, and informed her of Qing Yunzi''s situation." "After hearing this, she was shocked but chose to believe you."

"In the fortieth year, you were invited to the Small Qingyun Sect for a meeting." "You met Immortal Ziling..." "Immortal Ziling was impressed by you and invited you to visit the Qingyun Sect." "At the base of Three Immortals Peak, you met Qing Yunzi..." "You were summoned by Qing Yunzi..." "You gifted him the Diagram of Wishful Visualization, which delighted Qing Yunzi." "Qing Yunzi gave you a cup of Enlightenment Tea before you left, and you requested three more tea leaves..." "You returned to the base of Three Immortals Peak and told a few people about Qing Yunzi''s situation." "After representatives from White Emperor Tower and Heavenly Secret Pavilion had left, you were invited by Immortal Ziling to choose a cave dwelling." "Knowing you were prepared to face the Wind Calamity, Immortal Ziling gifted you a Wind-Calming Pearl." "You happily accepted it but told Immortal Ziling that you were heading to the outer realms in search of an opportunity to face the Wind Calamity." "Although Immortal Ziling was somewhat puzzled after hearing this, she agreed, and when you departed, you and Immortal Ziling exchanged contact Jade Slips." Back in the real world, Su Xing looked at the text in front of him and nodded slightly. Chapter 326 The Way of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, Summoning the Wind Disaster!_2 "Six Wind-Calming Pearls should be enough!" "Then, the next step is to figure out how to comprehend the unity of the Great Dao of Space and the Five Elements Dao... before attempting to pass through the wind calamity!" Su Xing pondered for a moment, preparing to first comprehend the Great Dao of Space. With that thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [In the forty-first year after leaving the Qingyun Realm, you steered the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat through the Void as your first act, searching for a suitable location to make a breakthrough.] [Months later, you find an appropriate area in the Void, so you no longer remain within the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, but instead traverse the Void with your physical body, closely comprehending the spatial turbulence and the Dao of Space around you!] Su Xing nodded slightly as he read this, murmuring to himself: "Before reaching the seventy-seventh year, I can''t trigger the Late Bloomer''s blessing, but using 365 Origin Energy Source points a year to exchange for Dao Comprehension isn''t a bad deal..." Su Xing didn''t plan to waste time, and silently declared: "Activate immersive simulation for a duration of 100 years!" [Ding, you have successfully activated the immersive simulation, spending 36,500 points of energy, with 231,935 points of Origin Energy Source remaining...] As the simulation prompt sounded, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the simulated world. When he came to his senses again, Su Xing found himself in the Void, looking at the raging space storms around him. He took a deep breath and said: "Well then, let''s begin the comprehension now!" Su Xing didn''t use the Enlightenment Tea, as it would be somewhat wasteful at this moment. "If I rely solely on my own comprehension... I wonder to what extent I can comprehend in thirty-six years?" With an eager heart, Su Xing immediately began to contemplate the Great Dao of Space within the Void. Countless chaotic streams of the Void, containing notable Dao Essence of space, swept past the periphery of Su Xing''s Divine Body. Blessed with great intuition, Su Xing continuously absorbed the surrounding Dao Essence, slowly enhancing his Comprehension of the Space Dao... In the blink of an eye, several years passed, and Su Xing had stayed in the Void for too long, his Mana becoming somewhat unstable. "Pity, with the peak Cultivation Level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, one can only stay in the Void for a few years at most... Any longer would likely harm the foundations..." With a thought, Su Xing took out the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and set it towards the nearest Minor Thousand Worlds. After half a year of recuperation, Su Xing''s Mana recovered, and he returned to the Void to continue his comprehension of the Space Dao. Thus, the cycle repeated, and Su Xing''s comprehension of the Space Dao gradually improved. ... In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years had passed. When the seventieth-seventh year of the simulation arrived, Su Xing officially triggered the Great Talent Maturing Late ability. On this day, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes in the Void, feeling the progress he had made in his comprehension of the Dao of Space over the years. After a long while, Su Xing let out a long sigh and lamented: "Decades of comprehension... and the progress is still excruciatingly slow!" Su Xing estimated that if he relied purely on his own comprehension, he would need at least five thousand years to fully comprehend the Dao of Space and advance it to a Minor Achievement Realm! "Five thousand years... to go from a glimpse of the threshold to a minor achievement in the Space Dao, such speed is already considered genius!" Su Xing murmured to himself. He possessed an Acquired Taoist Body, capable of comprehending the Dao at a rate several times faster than that of ordinary cultivators. A Minor Achievement Realm was often where a True Immortal Realm cultivator might spend ten thousand years to reach! Moreover, the Space Dao is one of the most profound among all Daos, its difficulty being many times that of ordinary Daos. Su Xing''s progress was already astounding! "But... this pace is still a bit too slow!" Su Xing stroked his chin, murmuring: "Then... it''s time to start using Enlightenment Tea!" Taking out his steaming Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing felt the magical power within. He took a sip and immediately felt a refreshing sensation wash over him. "The effects of the Enlightenment Tea... have started to manifest!" A glint of sharpness flashed in Su Xing''s eyes, and without hesitation, he continued to delve into the Great Dao of Space! Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire Sure enough, with the double blessing of the Great Talent Maturing Late and Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing''s comprehension speed increased more than twentyfold! In just three short years, Su Xing''s progress in comprehending the Space Dao had already surpassed the previous thirty-six years! After the first cup of Enlightenment Tea was fully digested, Su Xing sat on the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to recuperate in a Minor Thousand Worlds for half a year, avoiding any damage to his foundations from the Void. Half a year later, Su Xing returned to the Void to comprehend the Dao of Space again. Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... Seven years later, Su Xing finished his first cup of Enlightenment Tea. Standing in the Void, Su Xing sensed his own comprehension of the Space Dao, murmuring: "One cup of Enlightenment Tea, nine years of comprehension, approaching what would normally be two hundred years for me..." "But there''s still a considerable distance from reaching the Minor Achievement Realm!" Su Xing didn''t hesitate, he took out the crumpled Enlightenment Tea Leaves and began to brew for the second time. Thus, another ten years went by. All three infusions of the first cup of Enlightenment Tea had been used up. With the assistance of Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing gained the equivalent of nearly three hundred years of comprehension! On the hundredth year of the simulation, Su Xing awoke from his comprehension, feeling the growth of space power in his body, and frowned slightly. "The speed... is still too slow..." "Indeed, it''s only with the aid of The Great Wisdom in Foolishness talent that I can maximize the benefits!" Su Xing murmured: "The Great Wisdom State, this time I''ve only accumulated roughly fifteen years or so! I must not waste it!" "If I can triple my comprehension speed under the blessing of the Great Wisdom State!" Su Xing took a deep breath, activated The Great Wisdom in Foolishness talent, combined with the Enlightenment Tea, and began to delve deeper into the understanding of the Space Dao! In the blink of an eye... another twenty years had passed! Chapter 326 The Way of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, Summoning the Wind Disaster!_3 In these twenty years, including the two years Su Xing spent recuperating, the actual time spent in comprehension was only about eighteen years. During these eighteen years, the three brews of the Enlightenment Tea had been completely consumed Thus, he reached the one hundred and twentieth year in the simulation. Somewhere in the chaotic streams of The Void, violent emptiness like sharp blades, could easily claim the life of an Immortal. But at the center of the turbulence, Su Xing remained steadfast, seated in meditation facing the sky, his body suspended in The Void, surrounded by ever-increasing Dao Comprehension. At this moment, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, showing a satisfied expression. "Good! Eighteen years of contemplation, indeed, only when combined with the Great Wisdom State can the benefits be maximized!" Excitement flickered in Su Xing''s eyes. Conservatively estimated, those eighteen years of arduous cultivation were equivalent to a thousand years of contemplation for a normal Immortal! "Currently, my understanding of the Great Dao of Space is not weak If I were to cultivate on my own, without relying on external objects, it would still take about three thousand years." "But if I rely on Enlightenment Tea, three cups are indeed enough!" After deliberating, Su Xing felt that this immersive simulation hardly made it possible to directly reach even a minor achievement. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "One more cup of Enlightenment Tea should be used to comprehend the Dao of the Five Elements!" "However, for the comprehension of the Dao of the Five Elements... there''s no need to stay within The Void anymore, perhaps returning to Qingyun Sect is the safest option?" Thus thought Su Xing. From previous simulations, he knew that for at least two hundred years, no mishap had occurred on Qing Yunzi''s end. On the contrary, it was Su Xing who, because he "stood out too much," was exterminated by the Descending Sect. This time, therefore, he chose to go to the Qingyun Sect for cultivation! Even the Descending Sect, ambitious as they may be, would not dare to venture into it! Following this, Su Xing spent over a year traveling on the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, returning to the Qingyun Sect! With deeper comprehension of the Dao of Space, Su Xing''s control over the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat became faster and faster. Coordinates that used to require two years of travel now took only about a year and a half. ... In the one hundred and twenty-first year, after returning to Qingyun Sect, Su Xing began to contemplate the Five Elements Dao. In a heavenly cave residence, Su Xing sat cross-legged, looking at several Dao Essence treasures laid out before him. Innate Fusang Tree Branch, Black Water Banner, Yellow Sand Sculpture, Gold Essence Stone... These items, each on their own could make external cultivators go crazy, but now Su Xing had obtained them all. "The Dao of Five Elements both generates and overcomes!" "But if one wants to unleash its greatest power, a true understanding of the Five Elements Dao must allow the generation process to reach its peak!" "Once comprehended, the power of the art and techniques, as well as Divine Skills, will all be tremendously enhanced!" A slight anticipation appeared in Su Xing''s eyes. The Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique, being the most brutal among the Five Elements techniques, its power is related to the cultivator''s mana robustness and Dao sensitivity! Therefore, Su Xing had to continuously enhance his Dao Comprehension to maximize this Divine Skill''s power! "If I can truly master the Five Elements Dao the power of this Divine Skill will undoubtedly experience explosive growth! It would even surpass the Body-Protecting Sword Aura!" Su Xing took a deep breath and began his comprehension of the Dao of the Five Elements. At once, Su Xing willed it, and various Dao Essence treasures floated around him. Su Xing continued to ponder their Dao Essence, seeking the method of mutual generation and harmonization. Amid this process, the Five Elements generation law that Su Xing had previously cultivated played a tremendous role! After drinking a sip of Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing formally began his contemplation... Thus, three years passed! One day, Su Xing, who had been sitting in meditation for three years, awoke from his contemplation, his formidable aura quickly receding. "The Dao of the Five Elements... is it just like this?" A thought crossed Su Xing''s mind, and a streak of fire appeared in the palm of his hand; this fire, unlike any mundane flame, seemed capable of incinerating all things. Su Xing wasn''t merely casting a fire-system technique; within this flame, there was also a hint of green! Just a touch of the Great Dao of Wood could dramatically increase the power of fire Divine Skills! The method of mutual generation between wood and fire was something Su Xing had learned when he first practiced the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique. But this time, in the comprehension of the Great Dao of the Five Elements, Su Xing''s gains were not just this. With a wave of his hand, gentle droplets of water fell, sprinkling on the surrounding trees. In the next second, those trees began to grow wildly, transforming from saplings into towering trees in just a few breaths! "The Great Dao of Water nourishes wood silently!" Su Xing nodded slightly, then successively attempted the Great Dao of Earth and the Great Dao of Metal! Among them, the Dao of Metal was particularly mystical, not only making the physical body hard as metal but even capable of being applied to Magical Treasures, significantly enhancing their power. "The Dao of the Five Elements... seems not to be simply as such?" Su Xing fell into deep thought. "The Dao of Water, differentiated into Yin Water and Yang Water... Yang governs life, Yin governs death?" "Similarly, Yin Wood, Yang Wood... Yin Fire, Yang Fire, it seems there are places of mutual understanding?" "The Dao of the Five Elements seems to be inseparable from the Yin and Yang Dao?" In just these three years, Su Xing had already integrated and summarized the five Great Daos, just a step away from merging them into a single entity, achieving the true Great Dao of the Five Elements! Such fearsome speed, apart from the enhancement from Enlightenment Tea, was even more importantly due to the Five Elements Holy Body that Su Xing had obtained! The Five Elements Holy Body granted Su Xing an astonishing talent for the Five Elements Dao, even far surpassing his previous Great Sword Dao! "It seems... I''m not far from achieving the complete Great Dao of the Five Elements!" Su Xing took a deep breath, drank a second sip of Enlightenment Tea, and continued his contemplation... In the blink of an eye, another three years had passed. Chapter 326 The Way of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, Summoning the Wind Disaster!_4 Su Xing once again emerged from a state of enlightenment, his face painted with joy. "Yin and Yang Flames... so that''s how it is!" With a thought, Su Xing summoned two flames in front of him. One was blazing hot, as if it could melt all things in the world. The other was bone-chillingly cold, like falling into an ice cave... "Yin and Yang Flames, the Immortals'' Calamity of Yin and Yang Flames is a manifestation of The Great Dao of Fire!" "Only after comprehending the Five Elements... can one understand it, right?" Su Xing nodded slightly, at this moment, he had finally made his initial breakthrough into the embryonic realm of the Five Elements Dao! "Then, the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique should also be further enhanced!" At the thought, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the five daos appeared simultaneously in the palm of Su Xing''s hand. They then compressed at an incredibly fast speed, condensing into a vortex of immortal power, the might contained within was nothing short of astonishing! In the end, the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique took form, and observing the vortex in his palm, Su Xing''s face showed a look of shock. "Five Elements generate each other... transforming Yin and Yang, could the ultimate power really be this terrifying?" "This strike of the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique, if infused with enough immortal power, let alone the peak of the True Immortal Realm even a half-step into the Profound Immortal Realm might suffer a huge setback!" Su Xing was deeply moved; this Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique was unlike any before, not merely consisting of the five daos of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but further subdivided into ten daos including Yin Fire, Yang Fire... Having the distinction of Yin and Yang could multiply the damage caused to targets and suppress them with ease! "Tsk tsk... no wonder cultivators who comprehend the Five Elements Dao are among the top combatants in their realm!" "This Dao of the Five Elements truly restrains cultivators with only one type of Spiritual Root!" Su Xing cherished his newly comprehended Five Elements Dao. "There are still more than ten years of immersive simulation... time to deepen the comprehension of the Five Elements Dao!" In high spirits, Su Xing continued to delve into the Dao of the Five Elements. In the blink of an eye, twelve years passed. The immersive simulation ended... Su Xing returned to reality. ... In the real world, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flickered across them. He immediately recalled the familiar art and technique, regaining his current memories. Massaging his Mei point, Su Xing reflected: "This immersive simulation... yielded much gain!" "Although it was a hundred-year immersive simulation, most of the time was spent in comprehension... without experiencing too many events, so time seemed to pass rather quickly!" For Su Xing, years slipped by in a comprehension session like a fleeting moment. "Now that I have further understood the Dao of the Five Elements it''s time to officially face the Wind Calamity!" sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing took a deep breath, his gaze turned towards the simulation panel. [In the one hundred and fortieth year, you have successfully cultivated the Five Elements Dao to the embryonic realm, and you''re even not far from initially peeking into the threshold realm!] [You began to focus all your energy on overcoming the Wind Calamity!] [But before facing the Wind Calamity, you need to expand your Cultivation Level to the limit your body can withstand...] [Therefore, you took out tens of millions of drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid, continuously consuming and digesting them, making the river of immortal power within you surge incessantly.] [Years went by like this...] [In the one hundred and forty-fifth year, after five years of constantly absorbing Spiritual Liquid, the immortal power in your body was like an inflated balloon, unable to grow any further.] [You know that this is the best opportunity to induce the Wind Calamity!] [So without hesitation, following the method Luo Qingniu taught you to induce the Wind Calamity... you called upon it!] [You sat cross-legged, waiting for several months, but there was not a single sign.] [You couldn''t help but wonder if you had failed to induce the Wind Calamity?] [Gradually, you started to feel a breeze blowing around, as if it were fraying you away with relentless force, weak yet extremely uncomfortable.] [Subconsciously you wanted to find shelter from the wind, but immediately realized... how could there be wind inside the cave dwelling?] [You instantly understood, the Wind Calamity had descended...] Chapter 327 Simulating Four Hundred Years, The Astonishing Changes Brought by the Wind Disaster! [The tribulations of the Immortals, including the Wind Tribulation, you initially thought, would be as grand and vast as the Thunder and Fire Tribulations.] [But only after personally experiencing it did you discover that the force of the wind gradually increased, starting as mild as a breeze brushing against the face, causing almost no harm to cultivators.] [But as time went on, the power of the Wind Tribulation became increasingly terrifying...] [What astonished you even more was that, during the Wind Tribulation, only the cultivators themselves were affected, while all other creatures and things around were unaffected!] [It is as if... it is a test of the cultivator by the forces of heaven and earth!] [In such a comfortable and pleasant situation, fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye...] [In the one hundred and sixtieth year, the power of the Wind Tribulation continued to grow.] [If it could be said that, in the first few years, it was like a breeze causing only the Divine Soul to erode and the cultivator''s Divine Soul to weaken.] [Then, the Wind Tribulation at this moment was like the cold wind of winter, bone-chilling and unforgettable, causing not only the weakening of the Divine Soul but also the gradual exhaustion of the Physical Body...] In the real world, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow. "The three tribulations of Immortals... is the Wind Tribulation really this peculiar?" "Indeed... each tribulation is more difficult to endure than the last!" Su Xing speculated, if he were to describe it in gaming terms. The Thunder Tribulation is akin to damage to the Divine Soul in an Illusionary Realm, targeting the cultivator''s Mind State. The Fire Tribulation belongs to a burst damage for magical attacks, extremely powerful. Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Only the Wind Tribulation belongs to the debuff class, causing sustained damage increase. At first, it seems insignificant, but the longer one suffers its erosive effects, the harder it is to endure! "Tsk tsk... During the Wind Tribulation, a cultivator''s strength must greatly decline... At this time, cultivators often seek a safe place to meditate in seclusion for a century, right?" Su Xing absorbed the lesson and added: "However, at the beginning of the Wind Tribulation, it seems the impact is not significant. In the first fifteen years, one should be able to cultivate Divine Skills normally, right?" "After that, they must devote a part of their mind to resist the Wind Tribulation..." What Su Xing said applied only to him personally. Su Xing had a strong Divine Soul and a powerful Physical Body, with sufficient Dao Comprehension, therefore he could withstand the Wind Tribulation. But for ordinary Heavenly Immortals, or those weaker ones in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, forcibly enduring the Wind Tribulation, they probably wouldn''t last even one or two decades. "It''s just that I wonder, with my Cultivation Level and strength, after how many more years will I start to struggle to resist and need the help of the Wind-Calming Pearl?" Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. [The Wind Tribulation came wave after wave, constantly eroding your mind and body, but with your strength, you could still resist for quite some time.] [However, because resisting the Wind Tribulation required a part of the mind, your strength inevitably slipped a bit.] [You estimated that before the Wind Tribulation, your strength was around the level of a half-step Profound Immortal... but now, it has only remained at the Great Perfection of the True Immortal Realm.] [In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed.] [One hundred and eighty years, the thirty-fifth year of your resistance against the Wind Tribulation. At this point, the Wind Tribulation was no longer "gentle" as before; the terrifying force it contained made you feel quite uncomfortable.] [Every day, for twelve hours, you were continuously eroded by the Wind Tribulation, though it varied in intensity.] [This forced you to divert more of your mind to resist the erosion of the Wind Tribulation...] [That year, your combat power slid to the late stage of the True Immortal Realm.] [But at this point, the Wind Tribulation was still within your capacity to endure, and there was absolutely no need to use the Wind-Calming Pearl.] [In the two hundredth year, another twenty years had passed, marking the fifty-fifth year you faced the Wind Tribulation!] [At this time, the Wind Tribulation was unspeakably dreadful, like a bone-scraping knife, scraping the cultivator''s physique over and over.] [Ordinary Peak Cultivators at the Heavenly Immortal Realm had reached their final moments facing the Wind Tribulation, and as long as they persevered a few more years, they would be able to successfully advance to the True Immortal Realm!] [But your Physical Body and Divine Soul were stronger, and this level of damage didn''t seem like much to you.] [Instead, it stimulated the activation of the talent inside your body, the wood attribute of the Five Elements Dao, "The Undying Xiaochi" talent.] [You still did not use the Wind-Calming Pearl to resist the Wind Tribulation.] [But as the power of the Wind Tribulation grew stronger, you had to divert more of your mind to resist it, and your strength inevitably fell to the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm...] [However, these fifty-five years of experiencing the Wind Tribulation''s baptism also brought you unexpected benefits!] [You could clearly feel that your Talent had improved by about twenty percent compared to before, and the Speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy had become faster and faster!] [At the same time, the Mana within your body seemed to purify continuously under the baptism of the Wind Tribulation, becoming at least twenty percent more concentrated than before!] [This was not an increase in the capacity of Mana, but an improvement in quality, as if the Immortal Power had been baptized...] [You felt amazed in your heart, this meant that under the same amount of Mana, the purity of a True Immortal Cultivator''s Immortal Power was several times higher than that of a Heavenly Immortal Cultivator...] [And the benefits brought by the Wind Tribulation did not stop there!] [Indistinctly, you could also feel that your resistance to the Divine Skills of the Great Dao was becoming stronger and stronger, possessing a certain immunity, which could greatly reduce all damage under the embryonic form of the Great Dao.] [Your Physical Body also seemed to have been further refined, improving by about ten percent...] In the real world, Su Xing''s eyes brightened as he murmured: "So that''s how it is... the Wind Tribulation, in essence, means trading short-term fighting ability for a great increase in future potential!" "The Cultivators undergoing the Wind Tribulation need to struggle against it continuously, as if they are fighting with the cultivator at every moment, and therefore their combat abilities will naturally decline." "But the enhancements that come with it are tremendous!" "Talent, Mana, resistance to the Dao, and even the Physical Body are all being strengthened!" Chapter 327 Simulating Four Hundred Years, The Astonishing Changes Brought by the Wind Disaster!_2 "This is practically a calamity of demotion for an Immortal!" Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing blinked, understanding a little why those cultivators would say, the gap between a True Immortal and a Heavenly Immortal was even greater than between an Immortal and Tribulation Crossing! It wasn''t just because of the increase in Mana Cultivation from breaking through realms, but also the changes brought by the wind calamity! "So it seems... the longer one withstands the wind calamity, the better?" "No, I should go and understand, find the standards and records of the Three Thousand Worlds'' wind calamity... only then can I better judge how many years of wind calamity I need to endure?" "Moreover, staying within Qingyun Sect is relatively safe for now, so let''s continue to resist the wind calamity!" Su Xing pondered, his gaze returning to the Simulation Panel. [In the 220th year, the power of the wind calamity further increased, and you had to spend almost one fifth of each day resisting it.] [Fortunately, the increase in potential has enhanced your actual combat power, so even under the influence of the wind calamity, you can still just manage to exert the battle power of the mid-stage True Immortal Realm.] [You still grit your teeth and persist, not using the Wind-Calming Pearl.] [This year, you visited the archive tower of Qingyun Sect, which recorded many major events of the Three Thousand Worlds.] [In it, you found the precise standards for Heavenly Immortals resisting the wind calamity.] [The least of the peak Heavenly Immortals experience the wind calamity from thirty to fifty years, with an increase of about ten percent in physique, Divine Soul, Mana, and talents; although they ascend to True Immortal, the Great Dao is arduous, making it difficult to continue climbing.] [The next level up, ordinary Heavenly Immortals, endure the wind calamity for fifty to seventy years, with about a twenty percent increase in Divine Soul, physique, and Mana, belonging to the mediocre cultivators in the True Immortal Realm.] [Even stronger ones can be called prodigies among Heavenly Immortals, bearing the wind calamity for seventy to ninety years, with around a thirty percent increase in potential.] [If one can resist the wind calamity for a hundred years, with an increase in potential of about forty percent, such Heavenly Immortals are one in ten thousand, already qualifying for a spot on the prodigy list.] [Resisting the wind calamity for one hundred and fifty years, with a sixty percent increase in potential, such Heavenly Immortals are one in a hundred thousand, enough to be ranked within the top fifty on the prodigy list!] [Resisting the wind calamity for two hundred years, with seventy percent potential increase, the talents can be ranked within the top twenty on the prodigy list, where there is likely only one among a million Heavenly Immortals.] [Resisting the wind calamity for two hundred and fifty years, with an eighty percent potential increase, enough to be ranked within the top ten on the prodigy list!] [Resisting the wind calamity for three hundred years, with a potential increase of over ninety percent, ranking within the top three on the prodigy list! Such cultivators possess the potential to ascend to Taiyi, to become a Daluo Golden Immortal!] [Besides, the archive records that the one who resisted the wind calamity for the longest was a Daluo Golden Immortal from Ancient Times, enduring the wind calamity for one thousand and six years. The reason he could resist for so long was that he had a mutated Wind Spirit Root, which granted him a great resistance to the wind calamity!] [Apart from this Wind Spirit Root cultivator, no one else, not even Daluo Golden Immortals, could endure the wind calamity for more than seven hundred years...] [Strictly speaking, the wind calamity is a kind of test and enhancement of a cultivator''s overall potential among the three calamities!] [Being able to resist for more than three hundred years already holds promise for becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal!] [Crossing the wind calamity for over five hundred years, after achieving Great Luo, will also be among the strong in the Great Luo Realm...] [As for the wind calamity beyond five hundred years, although it still raises the cultivator''s power, the increase is minimal, it''s more of a symbol of strength...] [After reading all the information about the wind calamity, you have a clear understanding in your heart.] [You set a goal for yourself, to endure the wind calamity for over seven hundred years!] [As for comparing with that Wind Spirit Root cultivator, you do not...] In the real world, Su Xing slightly nodded upon seeing this. "Crossing the wind calamity for over seven hundred years, perfectly aligns with my goal..." "Crossing for too short a time brings limited improvement, while crossing for too long... may well affect the progress of breaking into the True Immortal Realm!" Su Xing did not wish to compare with the Wind Spirit Root cultivator, seeking only the optimal path. "Then, let''s continue to safely endure the wind calamity within Qingyun Sect!" Su Xing murmured, his gaze turning to the Simulation Panel. [Twenty more years have passed in resisting the wind calamity.] [In the 240th year, this is the ninety-fifth year of your wind calamity resistance, your potential has increased by more than thirty percent, the gains not being insignificant.] [In the 260th year, the one hundred and fifteenth year of your wind calamity resistance, your potential increased by about forty percent.] [Just as you predicted, every twenty years, the power of the wind calamity escalates one level, the current wind calamity, even some of the prodigies dare not underestimate.] [But you still did not use the Wind-Calming Pearl, only now more than a third of your time each day needs to be spent resisting the wind calamity...] [In this way, forty years quickly passed by.] [In the 300th year, having spent more than a hundred years within Qingyun Sect, you have become familiar with every plant and tree here.] [Although you''ve spent much of your time in your cave dwelling, you''ve also intermittently moved around Qingyun Sect, getting to know quite a few fellow disciples.] [While the wind calamity greatly affects your life, with your profound Mana, you haven''t lost composure in front of others.] [Thus, the days go by, and thirty years pass in a blink.] [In the 330th year, this is the one hundred and ninety-fifth year of your wind calamity resistance, your potential has increased by almost seventy percent!] [The power of the wind calamity is now terrifying, and even you are greatly affected.] [As an Immortal who has long been unassailable by the cold and heat, you now feel every day as if cold winds are scraping your bones, the pain is unbearable.] [Your combat capability is further impacted, the power you''re able to exert barely compares to the early stage of the True Immortal Realm...] Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire [You sigh in your heart, thinking that perhaps the cultivators ranked in the top three on the prodigy list would find it difficult to last two hundred years without the aid of the Wind-Calming Pearl.] Chapter 327 Simulating Four Hundred Years, The Astonishing Changes Brought by the Wind Disaster!_3 ``` [But you still clenched your teeth and persevered.] [In the blink of an eye, another twenty-five years had passed.] [This was your two hundred and twentieth year resisting the wind calamity, and this year, even when facing True Immortal Realm cultivators, you regarded victory as difficult...] [Almost all your time was spent resisting the wind calamity, unable to divert your attention to anything else.] [So, you decided to use the Wind-Calming Pearl to resist the wind calamity...] [A palm-sized transparent pearl appeared beside you, and after you strapped it to your waist, you immediately felt the power of the wind calamity decrease by at least fifty percent!] [This meant that you could resist the wind calamity for an even longer period...] [You, tormented by the wind calamity all day long, suddenly felt much relief and even had time to reunite with your fellow Daoists.] [During these hundred years, your relationship with your senior sister Ziling was the best. She even gifted you many Heaven and Earth Treasures to help you resist the wind calamity.] [In the blink of an eye, fifteen years had passed.] [In the three hundred and seventieth year, to your surprise, the energy of the first Wind-Calming Pearl had been completely exhausted, its effect having declined significantly ten years ago.] [But the Wind-Calming Pearl was clearly supposed to resist the wind calamity for thirty years, only gradually decreasing after the fifteenth year.] [After seeking advice from your senior sister Ziling, you learned that the effect of the Wind-Calming Pearl was for ordinary cultivators.] [But for top prodigies, often several Wind-Calming Pearls are needed, each one with reduced duration of resistance...] [Upon hearing this, you were aware, thanked her, then continued to cultivate in your cave dwelling.] In the real world, Su Xing remarked with emotion: "Wealth, companions, techniques, and territory... even for a top prodigy, without sufficient resources to purchase Wind-Calming Pearls, it would be difficult to survive three hundred years!" Su Xing calculated, he had five Wind-Calming Pearls in his hand, enough to hold on for over eighty years; he didn''t have to worry about running out of them for the wind calamity in the short term. "If by that time I run out of Wind-Calming Pearls, maybe I can exchange for them with contribution points in the sect?" "As a second-generation disciple, it shouldn''t be hard to exchange them; I don''t need to buy them from the Money Guild in the outside world..." Su Xing thought this. Money Guild and other associations mostly cater to loose cultivators without affiliations, born in the Minor Thousand Worlds. They grow step by step, with good soul, opportunity, and aptitude, but lack the support of a major sect, so it is difficult for them to obtain key treasures. But for disciples born in a major sect, like the Qingyun Sect, despite the sect''s restrictions, sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. the sect has a complete trading system, so there''s no need to purchase from outsiders. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire "Continue to resist the wind calamity..." Su Xing looked forward to, hoping to quickly get through the three hundred years of wind calamity! His gaze returned to the simulation panel. [In the blink of an eye, another fifteen years had passed.] [In the three hundred and eighty-fifth year, the energy of your second Wind-Calming Pearl was exhausted, but your potential had increased even more...] [In the four hundredth year, the third Wind-Calming Pearl was used up, which was your two hundred and fifty-fifth year of resisting the wind calamity.] [Your potential had increased by more than eighty percent, reaching the threshold of the top ten on the Prodigy Ranking...] [Just as you were prepared to continue your breakthrough, one day, from the Three Immortals Peak, a shocking piece of bad news arrived!] [Qing Yunzi transmitted a message to you that he could no longer withstand the invasion of the Evil Corpse and felt its malice towards you... urging you to flee as quickly as possible!] [After hearing this, you sighed internally. With Qing Yunzi''s strength against the Evil Corpse, where could you possibly flee to?] [Furthermore, at this time, the situation in the Three Thousand World was chaotic, and the several dozen Minor Thousand Worlds surrounding the Small Qingyun Sect had already been conquered a hundred years ago... leaving only the Qingyun Realm and a few nearby Middle Thousand Worlds with respectable strength.] [Even if you commanded the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, you feared there would be no place to land, and with the wind calamity upon you, your strength was barely a tenth of what it had been... how would you traverse The Void?] [You knew in your heart that this simulation was approaching its end...] [As expected, a year later, the Evil Corpse fully dominated Qing Yunzi.] [Qing Yunzi performed a Soul Search on you...] [Your consciousness gradually faded... you died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing let out a long sigh, muttering to himself: "Even someone as powerful as Qing Yunzi couldn''t fully withstand the Evil Corpse?" "A simulation of four hundred years... Diagram of Wishful Visualization, unable to suppress the defects of ''Three Purities from One Qi'' anymore?" "In the end... it''s because Qing Yunzi obtained this cultivation technique too late... Had he obtained it thousands or even tens of thousands of years earlier, perhaps there would''ve been enough time?" Su Xing sighed, deeming it a cruel twist of fate. "Nevertheless, there''s nothing I can do... Being able to safely reach the four hundredth year in the simulation is already an extraordinary gain!" Su Xing was quite satisfied with the outcome of this simulation. From just the immersive simulation alone, Su Xing had reaped significant rewards. Not only had he successfully comprehended the Five Elements Dao, but his progress on the Great Dao of Space was also notable. "So now, let''s check the rewards from this simulation..." Su Xing''s thoughts stirred, and he looked at the rewards list. [Astrology]: Gold Talent, priced at 10 points of Origin Energy Source. [Yellow Sand Sculpture]: Supreme Treasure imbued with Dao Essence, containing insights into the Great Dao of Earth, largely exhausted, priced at 300,000 Origin Energy Source. [Black Water Banner]: Supreme Treasure imbued with Dao Essence, containing insights into the Great Dao of Water, largely exhausted, priced at 200,000 Origin Energy Source. [Wind-Calming Pearl]: A treasure to resist the wind calamity, also capable of withstanding all the winds of the world, priced at 100,000 Origin Energy Source. [Cultivation Outcome of the Wind Calamity (Two Hundred Fifty-Five Years)]: You successfully resisted the wind calamity for over two hundred and fifty years, aptitude, mana, Dao comprehension, and other aspects have all increased by nearly eighty percent, the first of the three tribulations of an Immortal, passing it means the prosperous path of the Golden Immortal Great Dao... priced at 100,000 Origin Energy Source. ``` Chapter 327 Simulating Four Hundred Years, The Astonishing Changes Brought by the Wind Disaster!_4 After seeing the simulation rewards, Su Xing was pleasantly surprised. "There are actually results from practicing in the wind disaster? Then, doesn''t this mean... my time in the wind disaster can keep accumulating?" "Since that''s the case, there''s no need to hesitate about this simulation''s rewards!" "I choose the Astrology Talent... as well as the insight from the wind disaster!" As his words fell, the simulation prompt tone appeared. [Congratulations, you have successfully brought out the Golden Talent in Astrology, costing 10 Origin Energy Source Points, remaining Origin Energy Source Points 231,925...] [Congratulations, you have successfully brought out the results of your practice in the wind disaster... costing 100,000 Energy Points, remaining Origin Energy Source Points 131,925!] Enjoy new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire After the simulation prompt sound, two mysterious energies surged into Su Xing''s body. On Su Xing''s attribute panel, the word Astrology had been added. This was Su Xing''s new talent. Although it wouldn''t directly change Su Xing''s strength, practicing the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method in the future would be much easier! Immediately after, Su Xing''s physical body, Divine Soul, and the Mana inside his body... all underwent earth-shattering changes at this moment... Including aptitude, physical strength, the intensity of the Divine Soul, the quality of Mana, and the resistance to the Great Dao, all increased by more than eighty percent! Although still a Super Spiritual Root, Su Xing clearly felt that the speed at which he absorbed Spiritual Energy had increased by not just one level. At the same time, the circulation of immortal power inside his body became smoother, and the execution of his Divine Arts far surpassed the past... Su Xing sat cross-legged, carefully experiencing the various benefits the wind disaster had brought. After a moment, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "At this moment... my strength has probably increased by nearly double!" "Such a significant change in strength... it''s comparable to making a realm breakthrough!" Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Pausing, doubt also rose in Su Xing''s heart. "So... with my current strength, have I truly surpassed the True Immortal Realm and become a cultivator comparable to the Profound Immortal Realm!" Su Xing''s heart pounded excitedly. Due to the simulator''s special nature, Su Xing had only brought out the benefits of the wind disaster, but the negative effects of the disaster hadn''t affected him! This meant that Su Xing was akin to a True Immortal Realm cultivator who had already passed the wind disaster... but his actual realm still remained at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. "Tsk, tsk, with the peak of Heavenly Immortal Realm, possessing the Cultivation Level of the Profound Immortal Realm, such a thing has probably never happened in the entire Cultivation World, right?" Su Xing blinked, aware that he had picked up a huge bargain. After all, the wind disaster is hard to withstand, and the cultivators who pass through it, although their potential and true strength greatly increase, are in a weakened state and naturally cannot exert all their combat power... But Su Xing was different! Su Xing might have become the only exception in the Cultivation World, possessing the strength comparable to a Profound Immortal Realm while still in the Heavenly Immortal Realm! "So... should I try for the first place on the Heavenly Pride List?" Su Xing took a deep breath, hesitating in his heart. First place on the Heavenly Pride List came with the opportunity to meet the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master! Of course, this greatly tempted Su Xing, but he feared encountering trouble... being seen through by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master and exposing his biggest secret... After long contemplation, Su Xing shook his head and said: "Since I already have the strength of the Profound Immortal Realm the first place on the Heavenly Pride List is just a matter of time!" "As for whether or not I want this opportunity to ask a question, there''s no need to rush... Before that, I still need to understand this mysterious Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master!" Su Xing quickly made a decision. "However... the Simulated Energy is still somewhat insufficient!" "The Simulated Energy required for the next breakthrough into the True Immortal Realm is still an unknown number... as well as the Simulated Energy needed for a month in the Void, which also needs to be prepared in advance..." Chapter 328 Jin Congxues Grievance, Dao of Space Advances Further! Su Xing pondered for a moment, and then in the upcoming period, he still needed to hasten the gathering of Origin Energy Sources in the real world. "Before heading to the Little Qingyun Realm, I must at least save up two million points of Origin Energy Source... perhaps even three million points just to barely be enough!" This was what Su Xing thought. After glancing at the time, Su Xing prepared to make a new weekly trade with Lu Yuanwu. This week, he still attained twenty thousand points of Origin Energy Source. However, Lu Yuanwu also informed Su Xing that in another seven days, they would officially prepare for their ascension to legends. After hearing this, Su Xing slightly nodded, as per agreement, after seven days Lu Yuanwu would bring fifty thousand tons of Fourth-Rank Special Metal in exchange for enough Elixirs and Talismans... By then, Su Xing would have one million Origin Energy Source points credited to his account; this was his advance preparation for ascending to the True Immortal Realm. But this amount of Origin Energy Source was still not enough, because the energy times during his voyages in The Void couldn''t be wasted. And traveling in The Void for nearly a month... meant that Su Xing had to save costs for at least four simulation trials! This made Su Xing, who was already short on energy, even more lacking... "Thus, during this time, I must gather as much energy as possible!" Su Xing took a deep breath, now he was racking his brains to gather as many Origin Energy Sources as possible. In at most a month''s time, he would be heading to the Little Qingyun Realm... He had to gather enough energy by then! "If it really comes to the worst... I might have to use that method..." Su Xing took a deep breath; he still had one huge Treasure Vault yet to be opened... This Treasure Vault was the Descending Sect''s Treasure Vault! The precise location, the specifics of the replica, and even the amount of treasures, Alien Metal, and equipment tools within... Su Xing knew it all! Without exaggeration... the accumulation of thousands of years of the Descending Sect was at least equivalent to half of the Great Xia Country''s treasury! "The Descending Sect''s Treasure Vault... If it''s completely taken by me, it might equal the energy required for my ascension to the True Immortal Realm!" "Moreover, seizing this vault only requires the killing of that Damned Dragon... and the incorporation of the other Descending Sect members! It''s not difficult!" A gleam flashed in Su Xing''s eyes, and then he paused, shaking his head: "However, if the Descending Sect is really dealt with... then it won''t be long before Blood Three descends upon Blue Star... leaving only a short three years!" "Therefore, I must be sure to completely eliminate the threat of Red Moon within three years... before I can clear the Descending Sect!" Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing rubbed his temples; Blue Star being a node highly valued by the Descending Sect means if Damned Dragon does not respond after three years, or if Blood Three senses something odd, they might take action! "So... unless absolutely necessary, this Treasure Vault must not be utilized!" "Once I have ascended to the True Immortal Realm... after returning from the Little Qingyun Realm, if my power has further improved, perhaps I can try raiding the Descending Sect..." Su Xing thought so. "There''s still one week''s time... This week, I should still go harvest a wave of Origin Energy Source from the Abyss!" Su Xing did not hesitate, controlling his sword to fly towards the location of the Abyss in America. ... Just like that, another week passed, and the time reached January 20, 2026 of the New Era. Su Xing took this week to clear out levels twenty to ninety of the Endless Abyss in America which had refreshed, gathering about one hundred thousand points of Origin Energy Source. One hundred thousand Origin Energy Source points, though not enough to make Su Xing wealthy, were sufficient to address the urgent need. After departing from the Endless Abyss, Su Xing went to the villa area to conduct a transaction with Jin Congxue. Inside the villa. Perhaps because he was about to leave Blue Star, Su Xing was extraordinarily attentive to Jin Congxue, patiently advising: "The early stages of a Cultivator''s cultivation are primarily about building a solid foundation... indeed, your progress is quite impressive." Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Just one month into Cultivation, and you''ve reached the latter stages of Foundation Establishment..." "But remember, haste makes waste; compared to cultivation speed, establishing a solid foundation is crucial!" "Here, there are two Cultivation Techniques, respectively Myriad Wood Technique and Myriad Flames Technique... both are Heavenly Grade Techniques, which I practiced initially and are suitable for you!" "Besides cultivation, you also need to learn some of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation... among which the Alchemy Dao would be best, given your wood and fire Spiritual Roots, you could learn the Path of Alchemy!" Saying so, Su Xing took out a Storage Ring, containing some herbs needed for Alchemy, Pill Recipes, and even some Alchemy teachings recorded by Su Xing himself, as well as a few Pill Furnaces. "Moreover, within this Storage Ring, there are several bottles of Elixirs used in the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage... which can help you in your cultivation!" "However, Elixirs are after all external aids; at each major Realm, you can only consume one bottle for cultivation; otherwise, it''s more harmful than beneficial to your body..." "Oh, right, excluding the Infant Tempering Pill, after all, this Elixir is needed when you ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage..." "Also, the method for the Nine Revolution Golden Core during the Golden Core Stage''s cultivation, I have also passed it onto you... remember, do not break through to the Nascent Soul Realm without forming the Nine Revolution Golden Core!" Su Xing passed down his years of cultivation experience to Jin Congxue, in great detail. After hearing this, Jin Congxue silently contemplated, seemingly sensing something, and asked: "Su Xing... are you going to be away for a while?" Hearing Jin Congxue''s words, Su Xing was momentarily stunned, then nodded: "Yes, I would be away for a trip... potentially as short as three months, or as long as six months." "So... regarding the affairs within the Tarot Society that are delegated to me during this time, you will have to manage them by yourself... If you encounter situations you cannot handle, don''t forcefully intervene, your personal safety is crucial!" "This Storage Ring contains the Elixirs needed by the Tarot Society for the coming months... I''ll give them to you in advance." Chapter 328 Jin Congxues Grievance, Dao of Space Advances Further! (Part 2) "After the alien metal trades that take place weekly, a ''senior'' member from the organization will also come. You must remember not to slack off in refining the alien metals, otherwise, I will be disappointed when I return!" Su Xing repeated earnestly. Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes flirtatiously and said, "Yo, Little Brother Su... what would you do if you get angry?" While saying this, Jin Congxue lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing a pair of long, beautiful legs. Seeing this, Su Xing quickly held his breath and concentrated, changing his tone as he said, "Cough cough, I''m serious this time! I have to go on a long journey... I''m leaving the house matters to you during this period! But if you encounter any danger... remember to drop everything and prioritize your own safety!" Although Su Xing had left many failsafes on Jin Congxue, including a Transcendance Tribulation Stage puppet secretly protecting her... Not to mention that Damned Dragon, even Human Immortal Realm cultivators couldn''t harm Jin Congxue! But, it''s not a question of being overly cautious, since accidents can happen unexpectedly! For Su Xing, the Tarot Society was just a tool to earn energy; he could always create another if needed... But Jin Congxue was someone Su Xing truly considered a friend, a confidante... even potentially a future Dao Companion, indispensable! Su Xing painstakingly instructed Jin Congxue, from cultivation methods, Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, picking elixirs... to what to pay attention to in the Tarot Society after he left... Su Xing even planned for Jin Congxue is escape route should an assassination attempt occur... At first, Jin Congxue listened with a smile, but gradually, she sensed something was off. Her eyes began to redden and suddenly, she threw herself into Su Xing''s arms, sobbing, "Su Xing... are you abandoning me?" Seeing Jin Congxue in his arms suddenly bursting into tears and ruining her makeup, Su Xing was startled for a moment before pointing at her face and saying, "Um... Sister Xue, your makeup is smudged!" Hearing this, Jin Congxue, with her innocent big eyes, cried even harder. Realizing the situation was not good, Su Xing hurriedly consoled her, "Alright, Sister Xue! I was just teasing! With your natural beauty, who needs makeup?" Then, Su Xing coughed lightly and said, "Cough cough, seriously though! I''m definitely not abandoning you... it''s just that this mission is extremely urgent, directly assigned by the organization and I absolutely must carry it out!" "Otherwise, I wouldn''t make a trip personally... be it three months or half a year, I will definitely return!" After hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Congxue, for some reason, had a bad premonition and thus, clenched her teeth and said, "I don''t care, I''m also part of the organization! No matter what, you have to take me with you this time!" For some reason, Jin Congxue felt that if she missed this opportunity, it would be very difficult to see Su Xing again. After hearing this, Su Xing thought for a while, then shook his head seriously and said, "No, you definitely can''t go this time... If you went, how would the Tarot Society''s headquarters be manned?" Of course, the key reason was that voyaging through The Void was too dangerous; even with Jin Congxue''s Heavenly King Level strength and aboard the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, her physical body could still easily perish. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire This mission, Su Xing intended to bring someone else, but not Jin Congxue... Subsequently, Su Xing took a long time to convince Jin Congxue, finally getting her to agree to stay with the trading company. Meanwhile, Su Xing also received the Tarot Society''s new week''s simulated energy, approximately forty thousand points. ... After leaving the villa, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave, preparing to start a new round of simulation. "This time, the goal remains to bring out achievements from the storm cultivation!" Su Xing''s mouth curved slightly upward; just over two hundred years of storm cultivation had nearly doubled Su Xing''s strength! Tasting the benefits, Su Xing naturally wouldn''t give up easily; he wanted to see if he could exploit a bug in the Great Dao to reap more benefits from the storm! "Additionally... perhaps the time to start the storm could be moved up a bit?" "After all, with my current strength, the first thirty years of storm will hardly have any effect... I can still freely comprehend the Great Dao!" Su Xing quickly made a plan for this simulation and, once the simulation cooldown ended, decisively said, "Begin simulation!" [The 122nd simulation begins, current remaining Origin Energy Source is 303,215 points... Remaining simulation counts are unlimited.] [Simulation starts!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, do you wish to extract?] After pondering for a while, since all valuable Golden Talents had been extracted, he mentally commanded, "Confirm extraction!" [Ding, congratulations, you have obtained the Purple Talent Thunder Spirit Body The probability of extracting a Golden Talent next time is sixty percent!] [Thunder Spirit Body]: One of the rare variant constitutions, naturally attuned to Thunder Spiritual Qi. Seeing the newly extracted Talent, Su Xing rolled his eyes. "Damn, using this new Talent... wouldn''t my strength decrease?" Su Xing thought about how lucky he had been, pulling many Gold Talents continuously, and figured pulling one Purple now wasn''t a big deal. Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. "Bring it on, storm!" [Within the Spirit Field Cave... you realize you are in a simulation!] [You go to trade with Lu Yuanwu, and Lu Yuanwu informs you they are about to cross the Tribulation to ascend to legend...] [You take out some sixth-grade Talismans for their protection, with these Talismans... even if they can''t break through to legend, they won''t die.] [You send these Profession Users into an instance and quietly wait at the instance entrance, continuing to make elixirs and Talismans.] [In the blink of an eye, five days pass...] Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Only one, who was slightly older, failed to ascend but still preserved his life...] [You slightly nodded after seeing this, the situation of this ascension evidently much better than expected.] [But now begins the true effort to stabilize their Legendary Level status...] [If it were just about getting through the dungeon, then there would be no need for you to come in person; just some high-tier items would suffice.] [The real trouble comes from the scrutiny brought by the Red Moon!] [You approached the ten newly ascended Legendary fighters, applying the Way of Cause and Effect, indeed vaguely discerning the blood-red causal threads on them.] [As their strengths improved, the threads of cause and effect became increasingly distinct, as if something at their other ends was guiding them...] [Your heart suddenly understood, this was the Red Moon''s contingency planted on the Profession Users!] [As long as this causal thread exists, the stronger the Profession Users, the greater the complication... they would ultimately lose themselves and fall into slavery to the Red Moon!] [A sense of curiosity arose in your mind, could it be that some of those Red-eyed Foreign Race originated from this?] [Fortunately, your understanding of the Way of Cause and Effect was profound, and after applying several Arts and Techniques consecutively, and spending several hours, you helped them effectively shield themselves from Red Moon''s perception!] [You refrained from cutting off the cause and effect outright, as that might be sensed by the Red Moon... but merely diminishing the Red Moon''s ability to guide them and lead the Profession Users astray was not difficult for you...] In the real world, Su Xing let out a sigh of relief. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire "With my current mastery over the Way of Cause and Effect, am I already able to contend with the Red Moon?" "Perhaps... without me realizing, have I also completed the transformation from pawn to player?" Determination flashed in Su Xing''s eyes; he naturally did not want to be a pawn... "More than ten Legendary Level warriors will nearly double the strength of the Human Race''s upper echelons!" "This way, even if I offer no help... Great Xia Country should be able to withstand unscathed for another twenty-eight years!" That''s what Su Xing thought to himself. "Now that Great Xia Country''s issue is resolved... next, it''s time to consider heading to Little Qingyun Realm..." Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. [After helping the Martial Emperor of Great Xia Country ascend to Legendary Level, you decided to head to Luo Tian Sect...] [There, you furthered your study of the Dao of Puppets, and with your years of continuous learning, you were nearly at the level of a Grandmaster puppeteer... able to personally refine puppets comparable to Immortals!] [Before leaving Blue Star, you gave Jin Congxue a few instructions and also met Luo Shuying in private.] [In the end, you chose to pilot the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, breaking through the blockade of the Red Moon, and successfully left Blue Star!] [The Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, after traversing through a void, arrived outside of Blue Star...] [As you traveled, you made certain to remember the exact spatial coordinates of Blue Star... then piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat toward Little Qingyun Realm...] [A month later, you arrived at Little Qingyun Realm.] [Afterward, you returned the same way, back to the Void where Blue Star was located...] [But strangely, the entire expanse of the Void was shrouded in mist, and you simply could not find the exact area where Blue Star was located...] [The vast Blue Star, and the ruins of the former Luo Tian Realm... seemed to have vanished into thin air!] [You persisted, searching the vicinity for a year, and although you vaguely sensed the direction of Blue Star... you could never precisely locate it!] [You knew in your heart that perhaps your understanding of the Great Dao of Space was still lacking...] sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Beyond the Nine Heavens, that was the intelligence he had gathered during his simulation in Qingyun Sect. ``` Chapter 328 Jin Congxues Grievance, Dao of Space Advances Further! (Part 4) The so-called Nine Heavens are actually referring to the Void... It''s just a more stable region within the Void! Above the Nine Heavens, various Great Daos reveal their glory, especially the Great Dao of Space, omnipresent like the Void itself. But above the Nine Heavens, it is equally dangerous... As the name implies, Nine Heavens are, in fact, divided into nine layers. Only those who''ve reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm and possess an extraordinary physical body can step into the First Layer. Above the Nine Heavens, there''s hardly any Spiritual Energy, and staying for too long is extremely damaging to Cultivators. However, above the Nine Heavens is undoubtedly the best place to comprehend the Great Dao of Space! Even more so, there are many exotic treasures and secret realms waiting for Cultivators to explore above the Nine Heavens... Many Cultivators have found lost Supreme Treasures in the Nine Heavens, and from then on, they soar to the skies or become wealthy overnight. But even more so, are the bodies of Cultivators who have perished in the Nine Heavens... "Although the Nine Heavens are dangerous... with my current strength, I should be able to go!" When Su Xing had received intel about the Nine Heavens, he was eager to investigate firsthand but restrained himself, saving the thorough exploration for this occasion. Thinking so, Su Xing silently chanted: "Use immersive simulation... duration, 60 years!" [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation and spent 21,900 points of energy... Remaining Origin Energy Source 280,1315 points.] The notification sound of the simulation ended, and Su Xing''s consciousness entered the Simulated World. Before long, Su Xing appeared in a special region. Here, there was no difference from the Void, also lacking any trace of Spiritual Energy. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire However, the difference was that the entire Nine Heavens were shrouded in a layer of mist, indistinct. Even the Divine Sense of a Cultivator had little effect here. Hidden within the mist seemed to be countless dangers and opportunities... "Legend has it, the Nine Heavens were the battleground of a great war that took place before the age of antiquity when chaos first split open..." "After that battle, numerous Great Daos were damaged, the world was destroyed, and countless secret realms and treasures fell into the Nine Heavens..." Su Xing looked at the mist before him, uninterested in these vague and ephemeral legends. Even if the Nine Heavens truly held Supreme Treasures, those belonged to a time long gone... After so many eons, the treasures within probably have already been scavenged, what chance would Su Xing have? "I came here... for the Dao of Space!" Su Xing took a deep breath, tuning into the surrounding Great Dao of Space... This place was the First Layer of the Nine Heavens, where the encompassing Great Dao of Space was indistinguishable from that in the Void. "Well then, let''s begin the cultivation practice!" Su Xing drank a sip of the Enlightenment Tea, entered the Great Wisdom State, and immediately began to comprehend. In the blink of an eye... nine years passed. Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the ninth year of the immersive simulation, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and contemplated the changes within his body. "Nine years... I''ve made further progress in the Great Dao of Space! At this rate, this simulation might just allow me to achieve Minor Achievement in the Great Dao of Space!" Thinking of this, Su Xing felt somewhat expectant. With minor achievement in the Great Dao of Space, Su Xing was fairly certain he could return to Blue Star from beyond its confines... Being able to make a complete round trip, it was time for Su Xing to set off and leave Blue Star. "So... let''s continue to grasp the Great Dao of Space!" Su Xing took another deep breath and consumed more Enlightenment Tea. Over the next nine years, Su Xing exhausted the effects of the first cup of Enlightenment Tea. The Enlightenment Tea turned into shriveled leaves, unable to exert its effects any longer. "Phew... Nine years, that''s like over five hundred years of my comprehension..." "The Dao of Space, is one step closer to reaching Minor Achievement!" Chapter 329 Arriving Above the Nine Heavens, Slight Minor Achievement in the Great Dao of Space! Su Xing did some calculations and murmured, "A cup of Enlightenment Tea, with three infusions, lasting a total of eighteen years... That''s equivalent to a thousand years of Dao comprehension..." "If I were to have another cup, I should be able to push the Great Dao of Space into a state of minor achievement, right?" Su Xing anticipated this in his heart. True Immortal Realm Cultivators painstakingly comprehended the Dao for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, yet Su Xing had managed to reach it in just decades! At this thought, Su Xing gently sipped the Enlightenment Tea, his inspiration bursting forth, and continued his comprehension of the Great Dao of Space... Above the Nine Heavens, dense fog obscured everything, and even Cultivators did not know what existed in the distance. Amidst the heavy fog, it writhed like a transparent, entwining dragon... Su Xing, seated in the posture of the five hearts facing heaven, stood within The Void, and his insight into the Great Dao of Space increased steadily. In the blink of an eye, another nine years had passed... The time reached the 104th year of the immersive simulation! Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a glint of sharpness flashed by. "Nine years... The Great Dao of Space has progressed further, just one step away from minor achievement!" "There''s still a cup and a half of Enlightenment Tea left, enough for the upcoming usage!" Su Xing did not rush to consume the Enlightenment Tea. Before starting his deeper comprehension, he had one important task to perform. That was to initiate the Wind Catastrophe! "With my current strength... the first thirty years of the Wind Catastrophe should have almost no effect!" "This time cannot be wasted... By initiating the Wind Catastrophe early, I can experience it longer, which certainly has its advantages!" With that thought in mind, Su Xing simply decided to cultivate in place, here above the Nine Heavens. Taking out a vast amount of Spiritual Liquid and Spirit Stones, the Spiritual Energy within Su Xing''s body expanded continually... and at a certain moment, when Su Xing felt the timing was right, he initiated the Wind Catastrophe blessing! ... Several months later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, feeling the gentle breeze brushing past, and muttered, "Has the Wind Catastrophe status reset?" "I just don''t know if it''s still as beneficial as before." After pondering for a while and finding no answer, Su Xing simply stopped worrying and decided to drink the Enlightenment Tea, continuing his further understanding of the Great Dao of Space. In the blink of an eye, nine more years had passed... In the 113th year of the immersive simulation, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, his gaze carrying a mysterious expression as he observed this world of the Nine Heavens. At this moment, Su Xing felt the elusive Great Dao of Space beside him shimmering like silver light, and as brilliant as a galaxy. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing slightly closed his eyes, the power of space surged outward like a tide. In an instant, Su Xing felt the Great Dao of Space enveloping all areas within a hundred miles! With just a thought, he could appear effortlessly anywhere within this hundred miles... This was far from the limit of Su Xing''s Dao of Space! Su Xing''s sensing of space became even keener; within a hundred miles, space seemed to be under his control! Moreover, Su Xing could easily cause a portion of space to collapse, compress infinitely, and ultimately explode with a terrifying Spatial Explosion! This power could kill even Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals. If Su Xing wished to travel long distances, with one step he could reach a thousand miles! Within a breath, Su Xing could traverse tens of thousands of miles! Such Escape Speed, let alone True Immortal Realm Cultivators, even ordinary Profound Immortals could not compare! Su Xing intently comprehended the newly acquired Dao of Space, feeling a sense of enlightenment in his heart. "The Dao of Space... the first Dao I''ve achieved to a state of minor achievement!" "Having reached the minor achievement... my understanding of the Dao of Space has deepened so much!" "The Dao of Space can also be applied in Divine Arts, enhancing their power!" Su Xing recalled his new insights, lost in thought. His previous Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique, when combined with the Dao of the Five Elements, was terrifyingly powerful and could kill even True Immortals! The same was true for the Dao of Space! Now, even if Su Xing were to learn an ordinary divine art of Escape Speed, combined with the Great Dao of Space, the speed would also see a qualitative improvement! Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "To be precise... it''s through divine arts that the full power of the Dao is exerted!" "At least... that is the case at my current Realm!" Su Xing stroked his chin, already considering learning another divine art of Escape Speed. The Sword Control Technique was very effective and suited him well. But without a sword in hand, the speed would be greatly reduced... Su Xing wanted to learn a divine art similar to "In a Step, Across the Worlds" or "Lotus Steps," where one step can traverse thousands of mountains and rivers! "When I return to the Qingyun Sect, I''ll look for such divine arts to cultivate!" "There''s still a cup of Enlightenment Tea left, enough for comprehension!" Having already comprehended the Great Dao of Space, there was no need for Su Xing to continue staying above the Nine Heavens. After all, the power of the upcoming Wind Catastrophes would only increase, and Su Xing needed to ensure his condition was sufficient to face them. "However... before leaving the Nine Heavens, perhaps I could visit the Second Layer?" Su Xing thought, knowing that among the Nine Heavens, the highest was the Nine Heavens, and the lowest was the First Layer. Su Xing''s current location was within the First Layer. The First Layer was relatively safe, reachable even for Heavenly Immortals, though they couldn''t stay long. Moreover, rumors said that higher up in the Nine Heavens, there was a higher chance of encountering Supreme Treasures, divine arts... even ancient Secret Realms'' inheritances. Although Su Xing wasn''t interested in these, he was quite curious to see what the Nine Heavens were really like. "The higher you go in the Nine Heavens, the more likely you are to encounter fragments of the Dao... it might be worth a look!" With this thought in mind, Su Xing took a step forward, bolstered by the power of space, and his figure appeared a thousand miles away. Chapter 329 Arriving Above the Nine Heavens, Slight Minor Achievement in the Great Dao of Space!_2 ``` In such a short moment, Su Xing leaped out hundreds of steps, soaring straight up toward the Second Layer of the Nine Heavens. After an unknown amount of time, Su Xing passed through an invisible barrier and felt a distinct change in the surrounding space... "Is this the Second Layer of the Nine Heavens?" He glanced around and noticed not much had changed; the thick fog was still present, and his Divine Sense could not probe the surroundings. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The only difference was that Su Xing could sense more of the Great Dao of Space around him... something lurking in the distant fog caused a slight twinge of pain between his eyebrows. This was a warning from his talent for sensing danger, signifying that within the fog, there existed a presence that even Su Xing found troublesome! Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire "The Second Layer of the Nine Heavens... even Cultivators of the True Immortal Realm find it hard to explore!" "However, with my current strength, it seems that being in the Second Layer is not putting too much pressure on me?" Su Xing could sense that this world was continuously consuming his Physical Body, Divine Soul, and even his Mana... But after over two hundred years of storm disasters, Su Xing''s mana had reached a depth close to that of the Profound Immortal Realm! Staying here for ten years was not an issue! "The Second Layer of the Nine Heavens... is nothing special!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. Next, he wanted to proceed to the Third Layer of the Nine Heavens to see what lay ahead. With that thought, Su Xing continued to harness the power of space and headed in the direction of the Third Layer. With one step, he could traverse a thousand miles... After achieving Minor Achievement in the Dao of Space, the quality, quantity, and recovery rate of spatial power had greatly improved! It was no exaggeration to say that Su Xing, using the power of space, could sustain such low consumption for an hour or two without any issues... An hour or two was enough for Su Xing to travel a distance of a million miles! But after this, Su Xing would have to rest for a while... Su Xing continued his journey toward the location of the Third Layer of the Nine Heavens, and once again time passed without measure. He crossed the familiar barrier and arrived at the Third Layer of the Nine Heavens. As soon as he arrived, a bright light streaked through the distance like a shooting star, and Su Xing, fortunate indeed, reached out and caught the light. In his hand appeared a full and round stone, unmistakably a Space Origin Stone! Moreover, the quality of this Space Origin Stone far exceeded any that Su Xing had encountered before! "Up in the Nine Heavens... there truly are treasures to be found!" Surprise showed on Su Xing''s face, and he was very pleased with his luck. However, right after Su Xing caught the Space Origin Stone, a figure in the distance was chasing after it. Su Xing fixed his gaze and saw that it was a Cultivator of the Profound Immortal Realm. This Profound Immortal Realm Cultivator had a short stature and plain looks. He sized up Su Xing from top to bottom and looked at the Space Origin Stone in his hand with amazement. Clearly recognizing Su Xing''s cultivation level, which had not yet reached the Profound Immortal Realm, he asked, "Fellow Daoist, you are indeed lucky... This Space Origin Stone, this old man has chased for tens of thousands of miles without success, and it has fallen into your hands?" There was a hint of greed in his eyes, but the Profound Immortal refrained from any rash actions, bowing slightly as he asked Su Xing, "This place is the Third Layer of the Nine Heavens, inaccessible to those below the Profound Immortal Realm... I see that your cultivation level has barely reached the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm?" "Hmm... may I ask which sect or master you are from?" After listening, Su Xing responded without a change in expression, returning the bow, "I am a disciple of Qingyun Sect under Qing Yunzi... a direct descendant of the Qingyun bloodline..." Upon hearing Su Xing''s reply, the Profound Immortal Cultivator was momentarily taken aback, the greed in his eyes dissipated, and he gave another bow, "So it turns out you are the direct descendant of Ancestor Qingyun... Indeed, you possess exceptional abilities to have made it to the Third Layer as a Heavenly Immortal! The Profound Immortal Cultivator flattered Su Xing with a few words, then turned and left. After watching him leave, disappointment flashed across Su Xing''s face as he looked at the Space Origin Stone in his hand and murmured, "What a pity..." This Profound Immortal was likely a well-known Loose Cultivator. Even though he wouldn''t stoop to becoming an Evil Cultivator, if he encountered a Supreme Treasure on his path, intimidating a Cultivator with lower cultivation level to hand it over... or even killing for it, he was certainly capable! After all, such occasional robbers could still be considered righteous in the Cultivation World. As for Evil Cultivators, they were the ones who truly slaughtered mortals and resorted to any means necessary, and they were hunted by the righteous... Among a group of villains, these neutral Cultivators seemed like good people. "Well, I did intend to test my current strength... But since this Cultivator did not make a move, let it be then..." Su Xing shook his head. His principle was always: If no one offends me, I shall not offend others. "Now that I''ve achieved Minor Achievement in the Great Dao of Space... and have explored the Third Layer of the Nine Heavens, and even incidentally obtained a treasure, my journey has not been in vain!" Su Xing took a deep breath and looked up into the endless sky above. With his current cultivation, to enter the Fourth Layer was still far from reach. Having obtained the Space Origin Stone had been an unexpected joy, it was time to leave this place! With that thought, Su Xing utilized the power of space and left the Nine Heavens... ... Years passed, and time quickly advanced to the simulated one hundred and fifteenth year. Su Xing found himself back outside the Qingyun Realm, but he did not hurry to enter. After a moment of thought, he took out the Space Origin Stone he had obtained in the Nine Heavens and muttered, "Just this one Space Origin Stone is probably worth over a hundred million High-grade Spirit Stones... and it''s priceless on the market!" "Even a Profound Immortal Cultivator would be envious!" ``` Chapter 916 - 330: The Threshold of Daluo Golden Immortal, Eleven Legends Successfully Promoted! In the real world, Su Xing slightly frowned. "Ten years of natural disaster... and it only enhances my potential by one percent?" "By that calculation, if I simulate it for a hundred years, including potential, mana, talent, etc., can it be increased by about ten percent?" Su Xing pondered for a momentthe impact of the wind disaster decreased as time went on! Being able to endure three hundred years of wind disaster and enhancing one''s potential by eighty to ninety percent was the hallmark of a true prodigy. However, among the top cultivators, the competition was often decided by the smallest margin! Just imagine, both being Daluo Golden Immortals, if there were about a ten-percent potential difference during the initial encounter with the wind disaster... it would be extremely horrifying! "Besides the Daluo Golden Immortal with a Wind Spirit Root... the majority of Daluo Golden Immortals only endure four to five hundred years of wind disaster." "Not only because it becomes increasingly difficult after the wind disaster, but perhaps it also relates to the limited potential enhancement..." Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing estimated that fully experiencing five hundred years of wind disaster could double the potential! But after those five hundred years, it might be hard to enhance the potential by even ten percent in another two to three hundred years... the gain does not compensate for the loss! "Moreover, the wind disaster in my simulation is weaker initially, bringing even less potential growth... achieving double the potential in the future is nearly enough!" "But I also need to strive for an eleven-percent increase in potential..." Originally, Su Xing wanted to exploit a bug in the wind disaster, hoping to stack potential indefinitely. But now, it seemed that things wouldn''t go as hoped; the wind disaster could not indefinitely support growth, and ultimately there was a limit. "However, I''m far from reaching that limit yet... at least this time, I need to experience the full benefit of the wind disaster in the simulation!" With this thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation panel. [After your strength fell to the peak of the True Immortal Realm, you continued to cultivate in Qingyun Sect safely, thus it didn''t greatly affect you.] [Thus, another twenty years passed...] [On the two-hundredth year of the simulation, this is your ninetieth year experiencing the wind disaster, and the calamity was upgraded by more than two grades than before...] [But with your profound foundation, you were still able to endure, only needing to spend more time each day to withstand the wind disaster.] [In the two hundred and twentieth year, experiencing the hundred and tenth year of the wind disaster, its power further strengthened, causing your battle capabilities to fall to the late phase of the True Immortal Realm.] [Two hundred and fifty years, a hundred and forty years after experiencing the wind disaster, the cumulative benefits it brought you reach a full 90%...] [Even some Taiyi Golden Immortals are hard pressed to gain over 90% from the wind disaster!] [This made your cultivation more stable and also increased your potential for the future, ensuring you wouldn''t fall behind even after reaching Daluo Golden Immortal...] [Thus, another thirty years passed.] [In the two hundred and eightieth year, on the one hundred and seventieth year of the wind disaster, this year your Divine Soul and Physical Body were eroded by the wind disaster, your strength sliding to the mid phase of True Immortal Realm.] [In the three hundred and tenth year, your strength fell to the early stage of the True Immortal Realm...] [This is your two hundred and tenth year experiencing the wind disaster, and at this point, the calamity was incredibly terrifying, such that even top talents must rely on a Wind-Calming Pearl to barely cope.] [But your foundation was too deep, allowing you to barely withstand it.] [Time flew by, and another twenty years passed...] [In the three hundred and thirtieth year, this year, you used the first Wind-Calming Pearl.] [Facing over two hundred years of wind disaster, the effect of the Wind-Calming Pearl was greatly reduced, with just over a decade, one pearl''s energy would be exhausted.] [You sighed internally, fearing that those Daluo Golden Immortals, after three hundred years of wind disaster, purely rely on Wind-Calming Pearls to get through, perhaps needing dozens of pearls to manage...] [Currently, you still have seven Wind-Calming Pearls unused, entirely sufficient for you to endure this simulation...] [Sure enough, after using the Wind-Calming Pearl, the threat of the wind disaster was greatly reduced, and even your strength returned to the late True Immortal Realm...] [In the decades that followed, you used one Wind-Calming Pearl every decade or so, not only able to gain from the wind disaster but even able to cultivate more comfortably.] [In the three hundred and eightieth year, this is your two hundred and sixtieth year experiencing the wind disaster, counting the previous simulated wind disasters, you have endured a total of five hundred and five years, surpassing the five hundred year mark!] [But perhaps due to the insufficient power of the subsequent wind disasters, your potential was only enhanced by about 95%, not reaching a full 100%...] [Thus, you continued to use Wind-Calming Pearls to resist the invasion of the wind disaster.] [In the four hundredth year, one day you suddenly became aware, as if undergoing some transformation...] [You carefully perceived the changes happening in your body, and your face soon showed delight, the benefits from the wind disaster finally reached a full 100%!] [Throughout the ages, all cultivators who became Daluo Golden Immortals had enjoyed this magnitude of increase... it can be said, this is the threshold for becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal!] Back in the real world, Su Xing slightly nodded. "Five hundred years of wind disaster... a full 100% increase! This is merely the threshold to becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal!" "But this also means, in the future, I possess the potential to become a Daluo Golden Immortal!" Su Xing took a deep breath. Almost all Daluo Golden Immortals had to cross over five hundred years of wind disaster to achieve a 100% increase in potential! Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But this does not guarantee that crossing five hundred years of wind disaster would certainly lead to becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal. Perhaps some early famous Heavenly Immortals might slide in their realm during Profound Immortal or Golden Immortal Realm... such a thing isn''t impossible... "However, a full 100% increase, I''ve already achieved my basic target!" Su Xing murmured. Becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal, no matter where in the entire Three Thousand Worlds, I will have the power to protect myself. Chapter 917 - 330: The Threshold of Daluo Golden Immortal, Eleven Legends Successfully Promoted!_2 "But if I could break the limit by one fold... that would naturally be the best!" Su Xing took a deep breath. He remembered the records of breaking through the wind disaster in the Three Thousand Worlds. Apart from the cultivator with the Wind Spirit Root, another Daluo Golden Immortal had achieved nearly 110% potential growth! sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "A realm above the Golden Immortal... it all comes down to the foundation!" "Even an extra 10% potential would make a huge difference!" Su Xing clenched his fists tightly. Owning a simulator, this heaven-defying cheat tool, if he didn''t strive for that 10% potential, then he would truly be a fool! "However, this simulation should also be approaching its end, right? Qing Yunzi is about to lose his hold..." Su Xing sighed, his gaze turning towards the simulation panel. [Year 400, you have received a message from Qing Yunzi... he can no longer withstand the erosion of the Evil Corpse.] [You sigh in your heart, knowing it''s hard to delay any longer, and decide to seize the last opportunity to stabilize your Dao Heart and continue surviving the wind disaster...] [Year 403, Qing Yunzi found you...] [Qing Yunzi performed a Soul Search on you...] [Your consciousness gradually dissipates...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing''s face was expressionless. He had anticipated this and muttered: "Four hundred years of simulation time... that''s enough for my development now!" "After my cultivation level advances further, I will think about how to completely resolve the problem with Qing Yunzi..." Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze moved to the reward list from this simulation. He had a hypothesis in his heart, waiting to be confirmed... [Thunder Spirit Body]: Purple Talent, price 1 Origin Energy Source point. [Wind-Calming Pearl]: A treasure that resists the wind disaster and can also withstand all the winds of the world, price 100,000 Origin Energy Source points. [Wind Disaster Cultivation Results (Year 293)]: You once again successfully survived the nearly 300-year wind disaster, the foremost of the three disasters of the Immortal Wind, currently your mana, aptitude, divine soul, and physical body have been enhanced, a full tenfold... price 120,000 Origin Energy Source points. [Spirit Field Cave]: Created by cultivator Su Xing with his comprehension of the Great Dao of Space, this square kilometer small world is abundant in Spiritual Energy, reaching the Cave Heaven Level with various facilities, a rare and superb immortal cavern. Price 150,000 Origin Energy Source points. Su Xing''s gaze skipped over the first two rewards, directly looking at the results of the wind disaster and the Spirit Field Cave. "Indeed, the Spirit Field Cave in the simulation has been restored to the Cave Heaven Level after more than two hundred years of evolution..." Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, previously due to the increase in scale and the lack of Gathering Spirit Flowers, the cave had fallen to the Blessed Land level. But with the presence of the Spirit Vein Dragon, Su Xing didn''t need to worry about the future Spiritual Energy of this cavern... Moreover, a new vein of Spirit Ore might even be born in the cavern! "However... what I want to know is not these... but whether I can take those arrangements I made inside the cavern out?" Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing''s eyes showed some excitement. In the simulation, his cavern was much more luxurious than now! Various formations placed, mountains of Spirit Stones, rivers of Spiritual Liquid... even Five Elements Earth, all sorts of high-quality Spiritual Medicines! All preserved in the Spirit Field Cave! If he could take these out... then the gains from this Spirit Field Cave would surpass Su Xing''s imagination! Thinking this, Su Xing silently said: "I choose to take out the Wind Disaster Cultivation Results... and the Spirit Field Cave!" As Su Xing''s words fell, a notification sound from the simulator echoed in his ear. [Congratulations on successfully taking out the Wind Disaster Cultivation Results, spending 120,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source points 161,315] [Congratulations on successfully taking out the Spirit Field Cave... spending 150,000 points, remaining Origin Energy Source points 11,315] One notification sound after another fell, and Su Xing''s hard-earned Origin Energy Source was instantly depleted, which naturally made Su Xing feel extremely distressed... But immediately, a great wave of comprehension surged into Su Xing''s mind, and his physical body, mana, and aptitude all rapidly grew! This was the total cultivation feedback brought by over five hundred years of wind disasters to Su Xing! From the original 80% boost, it directly increased to a full double! Don''t underestimate this 20% boost; it was exactly this 20% that, like a vast chasm, distinguished the prodigies and future powerful seeds of the Three Thousand Worlds! Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, completely assimilated the benefits brought by the wind disaster. But when Su Xing opened his eyes, he was stunned. "Holy shit... where is this? My modified Spirit Field Cave?" Su Xing was stunned, surprised to find that he was no longer in the Spirit Field Cave gifted to him by Qing Yunzi. Instead, he was directly in the thousand-square-kilometer Spirit Field Cave he had created! This Spirit Field Cave, whether it was the various arrangements... the area was much stronger than before! "The most crucial point is... this Spirit Field Cave belongs entirely to me! No need to worry about Qing Yunzi discovering anything..." Su Xing''s face revealed a joyful expression. First, he keenly felt Qing Yunzi''s leftover Spirit Field Cave and, as expected, Su Xing could no longer sense its existence. It must have been directly eradicated. Instead, this brand-new Spirit Field Cave would become Su Xing''s logistical support for the future! "Tsk tsk... thousands of acres of Spirit Field, various precious herbs... Spirit Stone Mountains, Spiritual Liquid Rivers, they''re all here!" Su Xing''s heart thumped excitedly, then he eagerly began searching for something in the Spirit Field Cave. After a while, Su Xing arrived at an empty space, but it was bare, with nothing there... Su Xing frowned slightly and muttered: "Strange... this place was definitely cultivated with Five Elements Earth by me! There were even many precious Immortal Elixirs I got from Qingyun Sect!" Su Xing looked at the bare appearance, feeling a premonition of something not right. Chapter 918 - 330: The Threshold of Daluo Golden Immortal, Eleven Legends Successfully Promoted!_3 Su Xing immediately headed to a warehouse behind his thatched hut... There, lay the treasures and secret manuals of Divine Skills he had collected from the Three Thousand Worlds! As expected, when he opened the warehouse, he saw it was completely empty, without a single thing inside. Seeing this, Su Xing immediately showed a look of disappointment; he now confirmed that his bug exploitation had failed. "Damn it, it would have been great if I could have brought them directly! Those treasures were also part of my Spirit Field Cave!" Su Xing huffed, his face clearly unhappy. Indeed, Su Xing''s idea was to place those treasures within the Spirit Field Cave! If he could have brought those treasures out along with the Spirit Field Cave, then Su Xing would''ve made a huge profit! Not to mention the dozens of plots of Five Elements Earth, which alone were worth more than the Spirit Field Cave... Let alone the many other treasures, medicinal materials, and resources... Su Xing sighed and muttered to himself, "What a pity... I thought I could shear a sheep, but it looks like that''s no longer possible!" Su Xing considered this newly obtained Spirit Field Cave. The layout was almost ninety percent similar to what he had envisioned for the future in simulations... But those Spirit Stone Mountains, Spiritual Liquid streams... were all made from the arrangements he had previously hidden in the Spirit Field Cave, just saving Su Xing a lot of effort. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In other words, what Su Xing had before could change layout and location, but shearing a sheep... not possible! "However, these Formation arrangements have indeed saved me some time!" Su Xing was not regretful, as the Spirit Field Cave would be of great use in the future. With a larger area now, Su Xing also found it convenient to do some things... And these Formations and construction layouts had also saved him several months'' time! "Good... completing this before heading to the Little Qingyun Realm is quite satisfactory!" Su Xing murmured to himself and then glanced at the time. "Calculating the time... Lu Yuanwu and the others should also be waiting to advance to Legendary Level!" Su Xing then changed his appearance and concealed his aura, heading to the agreed-upon location to meet with Lu Yuanwu and the others. ... A moment later, outside Kyoto City in a certain mountain range, Lu Yuanwu and others had been waiting for a long time. "Old Lu, do you think... can this senior really help us?" A bearded Martial Emperor powerhouse scratched his head and asked. Although the chance to rise to Legendary Level was right in front of him, he still lacked confidence in his heart at this moment! Lu Yuanwu responded to the Martial Emperor powerhouse''s words, "Old Hu, just relax... this senior has a mysterious background! His strength is profound and inscrutable! The key point is... he and I have a really ironclad relationship!" Lu Yuanwu''s face showed off; he didn''t look like the respected Martial Emperor powerhouse he was... Speaking of which, he bent down and whispered, "This senior''s strength has probably reached the peak of the Saint Level... and may have even reached the God Level!" "Perhaps he''s one of the ancient precursors left by our Human Race ten thousand years ago! Even stronger than the one at Demon-Subduing Pass!" As Lu Yuanwu''s words fell, the surrounding dozen or so Martial Emperor powerhouses all showed a look of reverence... Meanwhile, Su Xing took a step forward, appearing directly beside Lu Yuanwu from Kyoto Academy, slightly amused as he patted Lu Yuanwu''s shoulder and said, "Oh? I hear our relationship is pretty solid?" Lu Yuanwu immediately showed an embarrassed look upon hearing this, evidently torn between losing face in front of his brothers and not wanting to offend Su Xing. So he quickly changed the subject, took out a storage ring, and said, "Senior... this is what we agreed on before..." Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this, aware that this was the fifty thousand tons of Fourth-Rank Special Metal that Lu Yuanwu had prepared! Su Xing unceremoniously accepted the Alien Metal, and a thought crossed his mind. [Ding, detected a substance containing a large amount of Origin Energy Source, worth 1 million Origin Energy Points, absorb it?] "Yes!" Su Xing declared decisively. After absorbing it into his Origin, Su Xing also handed over the Elixirs and Talismans he had previously promised to Lu Yuanwu. Seeing that Lu Yuanwu still appeared a bit embarrassed, Su Xing patted his shoulder and said, "Ahem, gentlemen... how confident are you in ascending to Legendary Level?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, these veteran Martial Emperors responded in a cacophony. Some claimed sixty percent, some eighty percent... there were even those who claimed ninety percent! But not a single Martial Emperor was fully confident they could break through to Legendary Level directly... And naturally, one could imagine what awaited them if their promotion failed... After considering it, Su Xing said, "I''ve enjoyed our cooperation these days... since you''re Martial Emperors, you know how dangerous it is to break into Legendary Level!" "I have a few items here that I can trade with each of you individually, which can at least increase your chances of success by thirty percent... This is in consideration of Lu Yuanwu, whether you need it or not is up to you to decide!" Having said that, Su Xing took out a batch of Talismans, over a dozen and all above the sixth order. There were also several protective pieces of equipment comparable to Spiritual Treasures, durable materials that could function without Spiritual Energy. Seeing these treasures, these veteran Martial Emperor powerhouses immediately widened their eyes, one after another eagerly saying, "Senior! This spear... could it be of the legendary mythic quality!? Sss!" "Senior... please sell it to me! I am willing to pay a high price! As long as I get this spear, I am fully confident I can ascend to Legendary Level!" A middle-aged strong man hurriedly said, clearly, he was a Profession User related to spears. Moreover, Su Xing''s ears were flooded with eager voices. Chapter 919 - 330: The Threshold of Daluo Golden Immortal, Eleven Legends Successfully Advance!_4 "Senior... may I purchase these two talismans?" "Senior... may I purchase this immortal-level armor?" "Senior..." Su Xing''s ears were bombarded with a cacophony of requests; these Martial Emperor level powerhouses who commanded awe and fear in the outside world, now resembled little old men quarreling in a marketplace, frantically vying for his goods. "Old Liu! Do you remember? I once saved your life! And now you''re competing with me for this?" "Nonsense... Big Beard! I''ve saved you three times; it''s time you repaid that favor!" "Stop fighting! Leave some for me..." The old guard Martial Emperors contested fiercely, their faces red and ears steaming. Clearly, to become Martial Emperor level strong, one had to be an old ancestor from a well-established family. Or even an old monster who had guarded the frontiers for hundreds of years in the Great Xia Military... To Su Xing, these Martial Emperor powerhouses might not be much in terms of strength... but they truly were wealthy! ... Soon, the dozen or so talismans and more than ten treasures Su Xing put out were all snapped up. Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And for these items... Su Xing only accepted alien metals or Abyss Stones in exchange... Even so, Su Xing still managed to amass wealth close to five hundred thousand points of Origin Energy Source! Clearly, in order to save their own skins, these old-guard Martial Emperors... truly brought out their entire wealth! During this time, Su Xing saw an older Martial Emperor powerhouse and guessed that perhaps he was the one who had failed in this promotion. Therefore, Su Xing took it upon himself to offer several suitable protective treasures at a reduced price, enough to ensure his absolute safety. Every Martial Emperor, a future legend, was extremely precious to the current Great Xia Country... "With these items, it wouldn''t be difficult for the eleven old-guard Martial Emperors to all become legends!" Su Xing thought to himself. "Senior... since that''s the case, let''s enter the promotion instance now; the rest is up to you!" Lu Yuanwu spoke with a grave tone. Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this, and went to wait quietly outside the pre-selected promotion instances where the old-guard Martial Emperors were stationed. "In the next week, these Martial Emperor powerhouses will one after another successfully ascend, right?" Su Xing muttered. He didn''t waste this week but chose to continue crafting talismans, preparing for the upcoming transaction with the puppet organization. ... In the following week, the eleven Martial Emperor powerhouses successively ascended. Not a single one failed! Once they knew of this outcome, all the Martial Emperors, including Lu Yuanwu, were utterly shocked! The high failure rate of promoting to legend was well known to all Martial Emperors... And their one hundred percent success rate of promotion, if spoken out loud, would probably shock the entire Great Xia Country and even the whole Human Race! And they knew, the reason for such a high success rate in their promotions... was all thanks to the assistance of Senior Su Xing... After their promotion to legend, Su Xing took measures to shield their sensing by the Red Moon. The entire process went exceptionally smoothly... Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire "Senior! We..." These old-guard Martial Emperor powerhouses, quite a few actually shed tears, their eyes red with emotion. At this moment, the way they looked at Su Xing was only with admiration! Finally, an eight hundred year-old elderly Martial Emperor (legend) said: "Senior''s great kindness! You''ve done so much for the entire Human Race... surely, Senior has also paid a considerable price?" As these words fell, the surrounding Martial Emperors all nodded in agreement. Clearly, in their eyes, such means were already akin to that of a divine being! Upon hearing this, Su Xing merely pressed his lips together with a light smile and said: "Very well... now that the agreement is complete, it''s time for me to leave..." With that, Su Xing stepped forward and left the place, returning to the Spirit Field Cave... Chapter 920 - 331: Entering the Nine Heavens Again, Aiming for the True Immortal Realm! Back in the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing could no longer contain the joy in his heart, his lips curved upward as he said, "These old folks from the Great Xia Country really are loaded!" As Su Xing looked at the remaining Simulated Origin Energy Source on his panel A whopping 1,587,654 points! Apart from the 50,000 tons of Fourth-Rank Special Metal that Lu Yuanwu had promised to provide, bringing one million Origin Energy Source... Just the more than ten Martial Emperor powerhouses alone had contributed over 50,000 Origin Energy Source to Su Xing each! "Tsk tsk, it appears... Blue Star is really wealthy!" "If it were in the Little Qingyun Realm, let alone ordinary cultivators... even a Human Immortal Realm cultivator''s entire fortune wouldn''t perhaps amount to 50,000 Origin Energy Source, right?" Su Xing guessed it would be much less. But because of its special environment, Blue Star had quite a few items containing large amounts of Origin Energy Source... And these items were mostly in the hands of the hereditary families and top powerhouses passed down through generations... like these old brand Martial Emperors! "Tsk tsk, nearly 1.6 million Origin Energy Source... that''s a big blood repayment! The cost for simulation on the journey to the Little Qingyun Realm is finally covered!" Su Xing heaved a sigh of relief. However, more Origin Energy Source is naturally better. Su Xing planned to make another hefty scoop before leaving the Little Qingyun Realm. Next, Su Xing made another trip to the villa to meet with Jin Congxue. In this week, Jin Congxue provided Su Xing with more than 40,000 points of Simulated Energy, allowing Su Xing''s Origin Energy Source to break through 1.6 million... ... The time came to January 27, 2026, and Su Xing remained within the Spirit Field Cave, preparing for a new round of simulation. "The goal of this round of simulation is only one!" "Achieve the True Immortal Realm!" Su Xing took a deep breath. After two rounds of the wind disaster, his potential had been maximized to the highest extent! A full tenfold increase in potential gave Su Xing the capital needed for a future promotion to Great Luo... But Su Xing wanted to try once more, to see if he could push it to the extreme elevenfold! sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This time, successful or not... I must break through to the True Immortal Realm in one go!" Su Xing murmured, his gaze falling on the Simulation Panel. "Begin the simulation!" [Simulation No. 123 commences, remaining Origin Energy Source is 1,632,167 points... Unlimited remaining simulations.] [Simulation starting!] [Drawing Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, would you like to draw?] "Confirm the draw!" [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the Golden Talent C Shennong''s Living Legacy... The probability of drawing a Golden Talent next time is 60%!] [Shennong''s Living Legacy]: As a Golden Talent, you possess an astounding affinity with all plants, like the ancient Shennong, and can easily cultivate Immortal Elixirs, Spirit Plants... "Fuck! It finally appeared!" Su Xing blinked his eyes, unable to conceal his excitement. Su Xing previously had a purple Talent, Descendant of Shennong! The assistance that the Descendant of Shennong Talent brought to Su Xing was indubitably significant. The difficult to cultivate Spirit Plant like the Gathering Spirit Flower had a very high survival rate in Su Xing''s hands! And the ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers he cultivated had become the first bucket of gold for Su Xing''s development after heading to the Three Thousand Worlds... "This Shennong''s Living Legacy Talent is clearly a higher tier of the Descendant of Shennong Talent! Its effect... should not be underestimated!" Su Xing nodded slightly, the Talent had arrived at the right time. Before heading to the Little Qingyun Realm, if Su Xing wanted to trade and obtain energy... he would definitely need a large number of treasures. His original plan was to trade a portion of the Gathering Spirit Flowers... then use the relics from the Wan Mu Sect legacy, and parts of the Luo Tian Sect heritage as a price to exchange for resources. Now with the Shennong''s Living Legacy Talent, it was obviously much easier to operate. "Well then, let the simulation officially begin!" Su Xing''s gaze turned back to the Simulation Panel. [Inside the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are in a simulation...] [You make a trip to the Luo Tian Sect to gain part of its legacy.] [Afterward, you leave behind many treasures, Talismans, Puppets and others, ensuring that Blue Star can hold out for a sufficiently long time.] [Before leaving Blue Star, you seek out Luo Shuying to explain things. Then, you officially prepare for departure...] [You arrive at the previously located Void Node and activate the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, shielding your own Heavenly Secrets...] [The Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat turns into a shadowy image, rapidly vanishing above Blue Star...] [Soon, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat exits the sector of The Void where Blue Star is located.] [You sail smoothly, and in less than a month''s time, you arrive at the Little Qingyun Realm...] Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire [The first thing upon arriving at the Little Qingyun Realm is to return the way you came!] [You want to try and see if, with your current understanding of the Dao of Space, you can successfully return to Blue Star...] [Another month passes, and you arrive in the sector of The Void where Blue Star is located... This place is wrapped in layers of void mist and turbulent flows... Invisible Prohibitions prevent cultivators from spying on Blue Star.] [But your Dao of Space has achieved Minor Achievement in the Third Realm of the Great Dao!] [Such Dao Comprehension gives you a sufficiently sharp power of insight... You continuously search around.] [Since you are quite certain of the exact location of Blue Star, all you need is to penetrate the space Prohibition to find it smoothly.] [Finally, after a month, you find a space Prohibition... you successfully open a gap on this Prohibition, enabling you to return to Blue Star!] In the real world, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. "At least, after leaving Blue Star... I can indeed return smoothly!" Su Xing''s biggest worry was that if he left Blue Star, he wouldn''t be able to come back, something he absolutely couldn''t accept. But now, the trial in the simulation proved that Su Xing could indeed return successfully! "It''s just... this to-and-fro takes too long!" Chapter 921 - 331: Entering the Nine Heavens Again, Aiming for the True Immortal Realm!_2 Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows, ideally, the round trip to and from the Little Qingyun Realm shouldn''t exceed four months... Yet now, just the round trip on the road had taken two months... Adding another month to break the prohibition, that was a full three months! But Su Xing had to reserve some time for trading in the Little Qingyun Realm... "Once I arrive at the Little Qingyun Realm, I must further strengthen the Dao of Space! Try to save a month of time breaking the spatial restriction..." "Additionally, after my cultivation level has increased, the speed at which I commute between Blue Star and the Little Qingyun Realm must be further shortened..." Su Xing set his targets, for the time needed for trading was non-negotiable, so he could only save time wherever it wasn''t necessary to waste. Su Xing pondered for a moment, his gaze shifting to the simulation panel. [After returning to Blue Star, you felt a constant unease in your heart... It seemed as if you were being watched by a gaze...] [Feeling uneasy, despite having masked your heavenly secrets, could it be that you were still discovered by Red Moon?] [After repeated contemplation, you were certain that the source of the surveillance was indeed Red Moon!] [Over the years, Red Moon had laid down prohibitions, always guarding against discovery by foreign cultivators... Thus, even though you masked the heavenly secrets, you were discovered the moment you arrived...] [After being discovered by Red Moon, you knew that you couldn''t stay long, so you quickly left Blue Star with your family and friends...] In the real world, seeing this, Su Xing furrowed his brows and muttered, "How could this be? I''ve already masked the heavenly secrets... yet I was still discovered by Red Moon!" Su Xing felt a sense of foreboding, if the cost of going out was being discovered by Red Moon... then Su Xing would rather not go out! "Is there any way... to completely mask Red Moon''s perception?" Su Xing thought hard and finally came up with one method, which was to completely mask that part of the prohibition when entering and leaving Blue Star! To cut off Red Moon''s perception of it! Like a spider that can sense movements on its web... but if a part of the web is damaged, it might not be able to sense it... At this time, the spider must spend time to reweave its web... Thinking this, Su Xing mused, "Now, Red Moon is that spider... but it would take him quite some time to repair that broken prohibition!" "Before it''s repaired... I might not be noticed, right?" Su Xing felt that this plan might be worth a try... "Phew... never mind, let''s prioritize advancing to the True Immortal Realm for now!" Su Xing''s eyes returned to the simulation panel. [After leaving Blue Star, you sailed on the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat towards the Little Qingyun Realm!] [After settling down your friends and family, you ventured to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion... As usual, you sold some intelligence at the Pavilion, wiped out a branch of the Descending Sect, and made a significant name for yourself...] [Over the next ten years, you were repeatedly targeted by assassins from the Wind and Rain Tower... You counter-killed an assassin in the late stage of the True Immortal Realm and abruptly soared into the top ten of the list of prodigies!] Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the twelfth year, you visited the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and informed them about Qing Yunzi''s matter.] [Then, you spent ten years collecting four Wind-Calming Pearls.] [In the twenty-fifth year, you followed several Heavenly Immortals, met Immortal Ziling, and entered Qingyun Sect...] [You were invited to converse with Qing Yunzi on Three Immortals Peak.] [You exchanged the Wishful Visualization Technique for a cup of Enlightenment Tea and three pieces of Enlightenment Leaves...] [In the following twenty-five years, you traveled in the Qingyun Realm, acquired many inheritances left by the Luo Tian Sect, and again acquired three Wind-Calming Pearls.] [In the fiftieth year, you formally prepared to face the Wind Calamity!] [You arrived in a relatively safe Minor Thousand Worlds, constantly absorbing Spiritual Liquid, your mana expanding incessantly... In an instant, you successfully triggered the Wind Calamity!] [A gentle breeze blew in front of you... At the onset of the Wind Calamity, it posed almost no threat to you...] Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire Back in the real world, seeing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured, "In the fiftieth year, I triggered the Wind Calamity! This Wind Calamity could last up to three hundred and fifty years! With this, there''s an even greater hope that my potential could reach 110%!" "As for the weakening of my strength after the onset of the Wind Calamity... in the first hundred years, with my current strength, I should easily overcome it! Let''s use this time to take Enlightenment Tea." Su Xing thought this and looked again at the simulation panel. [After the onset of the Wind Calamity, its impact on you was negligible.] [You continued traveling in the Qingyun Realm as always... In a blink, twenty years had passed!] [In the seventieth year, you prepared to move, heading above the Nine Heavens!] [You wanted to further strengthen your insight into the Great Dao of Space within the Nine Heavens...] [However, just as you were about to arrive in the Qingyun Realm... a figure burst out of the void, its extreme speed and terrifying murderous intent attacking you...] [You instinctively released your Body-Protecting Sword Aura, firmly blocking this attack...] [You took a closer look and realized it was a palm-sized flying sword, attacking from a thousand miles away, directly targeting your vital points!] [Your Divine Sense spread out like a tide, quickly capturing the target attempting to assassinate you!] [Wind and Rain Tower, Rain Number One Assassin!] [After the first strike failed, this Rain Number One Assassin immediately showed a look of horror... His strike, even sufficient to seriously injure or kill early stages Profound Immortal cultivators!] [But you, you blocked it!] [Endless terror arose in his heart... Without any hesitation, this Rain Number One Assassin swiftly fled...] [Seeing this, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows, the ordeal of two Wind Calamities had elevated your strength into the realm of Profound Immortals... especially your physical body and mana had undergone qualitative enhancements!] Chapter 922 - 331: Re-Entering the Nine Heavens, Targeting the True Immortal Realm!_3 "[And at this moment, the assassin known as Rain Number One makes the first move...you have no intention of letting him go!]" "[Thus, a pursuit battle begins...]" "[This Rain Number One assassin is now utterly shocked in his heart...he originally thought that you were just a cultivator at the Heavenly Immortal Realm...but judging from the techniques you displayed just now, you are at least at the peak of the True Immortal Realm!]" "[With the intelligence being incorrect, the assassin naturally does not dare to engage in prolonged combat...but you are relentless in your pursuit!]" "[The battle unfolds in The Void...this Rain Number One assassin, who cultivates both the Sword Dao and the Dao of Space, possesses such terrifying strength precisely because of this!]" "[And his Sword Dao...has even reached the Minor Achievement of the realm...he is a true Sword Immortal!]" "[However, his Dao of Space is only at the initial stages, far from yours...thus in battle within The Void, you have the absolute advantage!]" "[Moreover, your foundation far exceeds that of this True Immortal Realm assassin!]" "[The battle lasted for three whole months...eventually, the True Immortal Realm assassin depleted all his mana and was slain by you in The Void!]" "[After killing him, you seized quite a few treasures...]" "[You estimate that the true combat power of this assassin is around the level of a half-step Profound Immortal, slightly weaker than you.]" "[Fortunately, you started your calamitous phase not long ago, and your strength has not decreased...otherwise, had the assassin come a hundred years later, you would have had no choice but to make a quick getaway!]" "[After killing this Rain Number One assassin, you continue heading towards the Nine Heavens...]" "[You plan to cultivate the Great Dao of Space within the Nine Heavens, and attempt some exploration.]" "[In the seventy-fifth year, you explored the first layer of the Nine Heavens for two years, found nothing, and decided to go to the higher layers...]" "[In the seventy-seventh year, you arrived at the third layer of the Nine Heavens, where the Great Dao of Space is quite remarkable...you decide to cultivate here for a while.]" In the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow. "Rain Number One assassin...that''s all there is to it!" Su Xing couldn''t help but feel a touch of pride; recalling the several times he was mercilessly killed by this assassin in previous simulations. But now, Su Xing has completely surpassed him in strength! "To have the Simulator in hand...what''s the saying? ''A gentleman''s revenge is not too late even if taken ten years later!''" Su Xing sighed. "There''s also that previous simulation where I obtained treasures from the Nine Heavens...perhaps I can gain some benefits this time too!" "In any case, the Nine Heavens are worth exploring!" Su Xing stroked his chin, but due to his current strength, it was best for him to only explore below the Third Layer. The Fourth Layer was still beyond his reach. Thinking thus, Su Xing silently commanded: "Activate Immersive Simulation... for a duration of 60 years!" [Ding, Immersive Simulation successfully activated... costing 21900 Origin Energy Points, 1612660 Origin Energy Points remaining...] As the simulator''s prompt sounded, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the Simulated World. The next second, Su Xing appeared in the Third Realm... Su Xing keenly sensed everything around him, detecting the remarkable Dao Essence of Space present here, and nodded in satisfaction: "Let''s not rush to explore, first comprehend the Great Dao of Space!" With that thought, Su Xing took a sip of Enlightenment Tea, activated his Talent of Great Wisdom, and began to meditate. In the blink of an eye, nine years had passed... Su Xing awoke from his meditation, aware of the slight progress in his comprehension of the Dao of Space, and frowned slightly: "Nine years of meditation... equivalent to more than five hundred years of arduous cultivation, yet the progress is not significant?" Su Xing increasingly felt the difficulty of advancing through the realms of the Dao... To reach the Fourth Realm of the Dao, named Integration, one must perfectly master a particular Dao. Many cultivators spend tens of thousands of years studying a single Dao and still may not enter this realm! Thus, only a limited number of Profound Immortals and those at the Golden Immortal Realm are capable of reaching the realm of Integration! Cultivators in the Profound Immortal Realm live for eras, whereas those in the Golden Immortal Realm live for over a million years! Only such cultivators... have ample time to focus on studying a Dao and reach the realm of Integration! Su Xing evaluated the situation and said with some disbelief: "With my comprehension and talent...to meditate on the Dao of Space until the Fourth Realm, I need at least thirty thousand years of arduous cultivation!" Su Xing took a deep breath C thirty thousand years of arduous cultivation... This meant that, even if he used all the Enlightenment Tea in every Immersive Simulation session to meditate on the Dao of Space, it would take ten such sessions! With this realization... Su Xing shook his head slightly: "Fine then... The Dao of Space is barely sufficient for now, let''s set it aside for the moment! After reaching the True Immortal Realm... I''ll make further plans!" Su Xing pondered for a while before he began to attempt comprehending the Dao of the Five Elements. With a wave of his hand, several Supreme Treasures of the Five Elements appeared around him, emitting wisps of Dao Essence. After drinking a sip of Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing''s comprehension greatly improved, and he began to understand the Dao of the Five Elements. Thus, in the blink of an eye, another eighteen years had passed... Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, feeling his understanding of the Dao of the Five Elements, a hint of surprise in his expression. "In just eighteen short years... my comprehension of the Third Realm of the Dao of the Five Elements has already progressed by more than half?" Su Xing estimated that with another eighteen-year cycle, he would be able to fully cultivate the Dao of the Five Elements to a Minor Achievement of the Third Realm! "Hisss... The Five Elements Holy Body, truly lives up to its reputation!" "My comprehension of the Dao of the Five Elements is at least three times that of the Dao of Space!" "It seems that there is a greater hope of breaking into the Fourth Realm of the Dao of the Five Elements first!" Excitement was vaguely stirring in Su Xing''s heart... If he could indeed smoothly break into the Fourth Realm of the Dao of the Five Elements... then by the time he reached the True Immortal Realm, he might have the ability to compete with mid or even late phase Profound Immortals! "The Dao of the Five Elements has decent lethality in combat... and it''s full of unpredictability!" Su Xing sighed, then continued to delve into the understanding of the Dao of the Five Elements... In the blink of an eye, another eighteen years passed. ... Time came to the 122nd year in the Simulated World, which was also the 72nd year Su Xing experienced the wind calamity. After enduring two wind calamities in a row, Su Xing''s potential and strength greatly improved... but even so, the 72nd-year wind calamity still had an impact on Su Xing''s strength. Although still maintaining strength at the Profound Immortal Realm, there had been some decline. That day, Su Xing awoke from his comprehension with satisfaction on his face, and with just a wave of his hand, light of five different colors flashed in his palm... If one looked closely, they could even discern that each color of light was divided into a bright and a dark one, as if subtly complementing the Dao of Yin and Yang... "Hu~ Thirty-six years of arduous cultivation, the Five Elements Dao has officially stepped into the Minor Achievement Realm!" Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing exclaimed once again about the powerful effects of the Enlightenment Tea... The Third Realm of the Great Dao that would take an ordinary cultivator tens of thousands of years to comprehend, Su Xing managed to reach smoothly in just a few decades! "By advancing into the Third Realm of the Dao of the Five Elements... not only do various immortal powers and Divine Skills become as natural as a fish in water..." "What''s more important is that all five types of immortal power can be attempted to be integrated into the Five Element Burst Technique... each will undergo a qualitative change in power!" Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing estimated that with his current mana, if he could comprehend the Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique... coupled with the Five Elements Dao, he might even pose a threat to cultivators at the half-step Profound Immortal Realm! "There is still half a cup of Enlightenment Tea left... no need to rush using it in these nine years!" Su Xing planned to first explore the Third Layer Heaven; the Space Origin Stone of high purity he had obtained earlier had piqued his interest. "Then, let''s start from this direction..." Su Xing looked at a patch of void mist a hundred miles away... trying to explore with his Divine Sense. However, as soon as his Divine Sense touched the mist, it was immediately blocked from entering, no matter how hard Su Xing tried, he could not penetrate it... "The mysteries of the Nine Heavens are indeed profound... the void mist is even more terrifying than The Void itself!" Su Xing murmured, then stepped forward, appearing just outside the void mist. Next, Su Xing tried to step into it, feeling a faint sting in his brow. "Hmm? There''s danger... but not much?" Su Xing pondered for a while, then still entered into the midst of the void mist... Upon stepping into the void mist, at first, he couldn''t even see his fingers, but just moments later, Su Xing seemed to have arrived in a new world. In this world, apart from Su Xing himself, there was a creature as large as a mountain drifting to sleep. The creature was fierce and terrifying in appearance, devoid of any hair, instead smooth as a wall... but its hundred-zhang tall body was still filled with a sense of oppression. "This seems to be... a Void Beast?" "Its strength is roughly... half-step Profound Immortal Realm?" A light shone in Su Xing''s eyes; the arrival of this Void Beast was timely! A Void Beast''s strength would greatly increase in the void; with its half-step Profound Immortal strength, it should be able to exert combat power comparable to the early stage of Profound Immortal Realm... "However, the flesh and blood of a Void Beast seems to be a fine treasure for comprehending the Dao of Space..." Su Xing''s mouth curved into a smile, and a five-colored vortex appeared in his hand. "Just right, I can test my progress in the Dao of the Five Elements..." Chapter 923 - 332: Finally Entering the True Immortal Realm! Su Xing''s heart stirred, the five types of immortal powermetal, wood, water, fire, and earthmerged into one entity, the colorful radiance forming a whirl of energy. The terrifying aura within made even True Immortals apprehensive! After the Five Elements Immortal Power was infused into the whirl, Su Xing integrated strands of the Five Elements Dao into it... Once the Five Elements Dao was integrated, the whirl''s color became even more dazzling, almost too intense for the naked eye... Feeling the trembling of the immortal power whirl in his hand, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow, "Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique... It seems it hasn''t been fully developed yet... Its stability needs further improvement." No sooner had Su Xing spoken than his expression subtly changed; the trembling frequency of the whirl escalated rapidly, and it looked like it was going to spiral out of control... At that moment, Su Xing tossed the whirl of immortal power thousands of kilometers away, right beside the body of a Void Beast... Simultaneously, Su Xing took a step, fleeing hundreds of miles away... Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire A few breaths later, a horrifying five-colored light appeared in the space, seemingly ready to devour everything around it... Then, a massive explosion was heard, waves of immortal power reached hundreds of miles away, causing even the ground where Su Xing stood to tremble! "Hisss... The might of the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique, it''s somewhat beyond my imagination!" "If it becomes completely stable... it''ll be yet another trump card capable of overcoming those in the Profound Immortal Realm!" Su Xing nodded slightly, then stepped forward again, traveling hundreds of miles in a light step, arriving back beside the Void Beast. At this moment, the Void Beast, towering hundreds of meters tall like a mountain, issued a weak roar, its cry full of pathos... Its red blood spilling all over, emanating a stench. Su Xing gazed intently, noticing a gaping hole tens of meters deep in the chest of the Void Beast, its serious injury startling to behold. "Hisss... The power of this move, I fear it could directly blast to death a Profound Immortal at the beginning stage who is unskilled in defense, right?" Su Xing smacked his lips; the physical body of the Void Beast was remarkable in strength, yet it had been seriously injured in one strike, let alone ordinary members of the Human Race who were immortals? This Void Beast clearly possessed significant intelligence, as upon seeing Su Xing, it revealed a look of hatred in its eyes and lunged at him fiercely. Su Xing, wielding the Ink Ice Sword, also engaged in a fierce battle with the Void Beast. Barely at the onset of their clash, Su Xing''s expression changed subtly, for the pure strength of the Void Beast was more than twice that of Su Xing! "Tsks tsks... Not for nothing is it a beast a half-step into the Profound Immortal Realm, such strength is indeed extraordinary!" Su Xing did not confront it head-on, instead, he wielded his swordsmanship, battling the Void Beast, considering it a way to hone his swordsmanship and combat experience. This battle endured for a full three days and nights! Even though the Void Beast was gravely injured, its endurance remained formidable... Ultimately, because its injuries were irrecoverable, Su Xing exhausted it to death. Gazing at the Void Beast collapsing like a mountain, causing the ground to quake repeatedly, Su Xing took a deep breath, gaining a clearer understanding of his own strength. "Without using my trump cards... my strength should be slightly inferior to the beginning stage of the Profound Immortal Realm, akin to half a step into the Profound Immortal Realm?" "But if... I use those several trump cards, I can indeed battle with cultivators at the initial stage of the Profound Immortal Realm!" Su Xing pondered for a while, his gaze turning toward the corpse of the Void Beast. Then, with a slash of his sharp sword, he cut through the skin of the Void Beast, and soon... he found several fist-sized "inner cores"! "Tsks tsks... This must be a particular type of mineral unique to the insides of the Void Beast, right? This rich essence of the Grand Interspatial Path!" Su Xing''s eyes shone with a keen light; to put it in layman terms, these several stones were the "internal concretions" of the Void Beast! They were also treasures coveted by all cultivators of the Great Dao of Space in the Three Thousand Worlds! Just one of these "concretions" was worth over fifty million High-grade Spirit Stones... "Good! This trip hasn''t been in vain!" "Let''s see what kind of speed I can achieve when using these stones to assist in cultivation?" Su Xing drank a sip of Enlightenment Tea, and then began his cultivation. A sip of Enlightenment Tea lasted for a full two years... Two years later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, feeling the growth of his understanding of the Great Dao of Space within his body, and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad... these two years have been equivalent to three hundred years of enlightenment!" "My comprehension of the Dao of Space has come even closer to integration in the Fourth Realm!" Su Xing calculated that, with the assistance of the Void Beast''s "concretions" in cultivation, he could achieve a bonus of about two to three times! S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Not bad... It seems in the future, if I cultivate the Dao of Space, I''ll need to collect enough of these stones to aid in the process..." In the span of two years, Su Xing had consumed a total of four Void Beast concretions, after which he left this Secret Realm. During the following year, Su Xing successively explored two or three more Void Mists, but he gained nothing substantial. "It seems that although there are fortunate encounters within the Nine Heavens, they require a large amount of time to explore..." Su Xing''s primary goal in this simulation was still to survive the storm calamity, hence he decided not to continue exploring here. "Well then... I shall return to the Qingyun Sect! It''s safer there..." Without hesitation, Su Xing wielded the power of space and set off towards the direction of the Little Qingyun Realm. A year later, Su Xing returned to the Little Qingyun Realm and entered the Small Qingyun Sect. At this time, it was the 127th year of the simulation, and Su Xing had only ten years left before the end of his Immersive Simulation. Back in the Little Qingyun Realm, Su Xing began arranging for his upcoming cultivation. "From the previous skirmish with the Void Beast... the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique appears to be still lacking in Perfection; it needs further refinement!" "In addition... it''s time to practice some space-related Divine Skills!" Chapter 924 - 332: Finally Entering the True Immortal Realm!_2 Su Xing tidied up and prepared to visit his senior sister, Immortal Ziling. At this moment, Immortal Ziling was earnestly planting Gathering Spirit Flowers in her cave abode. She seemed very interested in the Soul-Nurturing Way; aside from her cultivation, she spent most of her time tending to various plants and flowers. After receiving Su Xing''s transmitted message, Immortal Ziling invited him in and asked, "Junior Brother, what brings you to me this time?" Su Xing, without beating around the bush, got straight to the point, "Senior Sister, I have recently been wanting to cultivate a Divine Skill related to Spatial Teleportation... preferably of a higher grade. Do you have any recommendations?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Immortal Ziling pondered for a moment, then retrieved a Jade Slip and said, "Junior Brother, this Divine Skill is called ''Traveling Earth''s Golden Light''... it is one of Qingyun Sect''s signature Escape Techniques! It is not available for cultivation by non-direct disciples... and even more, it requires exchange with sect contributions!" "But since you have just arrived at Qingyun Sect, I will gift you this Divine Skill as a welcoming present! This ''Traveling Earth''s Golden Light'' will be sufficient for your use all the way up to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm!" Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing was moved upon hearing this and quickly examined the ''Traveling Earth''s Golden Light'' Divine Skill, his eyes lighting up immediately. This Divine Skill indeed used the Dao of Space to transform into golden light and traverse through space... Once cultivated to the Minor Achievement Realm, one could cover a thousand miles in a single step! "This Divine Skill is excellent! Junior Brother thanks you, Senior Sister!" Su Xing bowed to Immortal Ziling. Then, Immortal Ziling sought Su Xing''s insights on nurturing plants, to which Su Xing shared everything he knew. Their discussion on cultivation continued for three months. After three months, Su Xing returned to his cave abode to begin cultivating the ''Traveling Earth''s Golden Light''! "Ts... As long as I can cultivate this technique to the realm of Minor Achievement, my Escape Speed will be no less than that of a Profound Immortal Realm cultivator!" Su Xing took a Spirit Awakening Pill and continued with his cultivation of the ''Traveling Earth''s Golden Light'' Divine Skill. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed... With the boost from the Spirit Awakening Pill, Su Xing''s month of cultivation was equivalent to twenty years of arduous practice! "Ts... Worthy of being a Qingyun Sect Divine Skill, this skill not only contains the Dao of Space but also incorporates the Dao of Speed!" "After the boost of a single Spirit Awakening Pill, to think that I''ve not even entered the threshold?" Su Xing did not hesitate and drank a sip of Enlightenment Tea, then continued his cultivation... In the blink of an eye, another four years passed. Simulation of the 132nd year, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, revealing a satisfied expression. "The ''Traveling Earth''s Golden Light'' Divine Skill has smoothly entered the Minor Achievement Realm!" "Using this technique, my traveling speed will increase by at least fifty percent!" Su Xing was very pleased with this; with this Divine Skill, not only had his Escape Speed greatly increased, but the consumption of the Dao of Space also drastically reduced. "There are three more years of the Enlightenment Tea... Let''s try to further refine the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique," Su Xing murmured. ... The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. Employing the memory Divine Skill, Su Xing''s vision gradually cleared, and he murmured, "The Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique... is also almost perfected, at least it won''t show the instability it did before!" "Now, my strength can be considered fully on par with the Profound Immortal Realm!" "Then, in the upcoming time... it''s time to put all my effort into overcoming the Wind Calamity!" "Whether or not I can increase my potential by ten percent... I must break through to the True Immortal Realm!" Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the Simulation Panel. [In the 137th year of the simulation, you filled the gaps in your Escape Speed and Divine Skills, further enhancing your strength.] [This year, also marks the 87th year of your Wind Calamity... Despite your strength, the Wind Calamity has had an inevitable impact.] [But you stayed within Qingyun Sect, focusing on overcoming the Wind Calamity, and were thus not in danger.] [In the blink of an eye, thirty-three years passed...] [In the 170th year, the power of the Wind Calamity increased, and your strength fell to the peak of the True Immortal Realm...] [You could feel that the Wind Calamity was continuously refining your talent and potential, though slowly... little by little adds up!] [In the 220th year, another fifty years passed in the blink of an eye, marking the 170th year of your Wind Calamity!] [This year, your strength fell to the late stage of the True Immortal Realm.] [Despite the increasing strength of the Wind Calamity, you could still withstand it, even without using the Wind-Calming Pearl.] [In the 250th year, your strength fell to the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm.] [In the 200th year of overcoming the Wind Calamity, you used the first Wind-Calming Pearl.] [After wearing the Wind-Calming Pearl, you noticeably felt much better in your state.] [In the following sixty years, you used four Wind-Calming Pearls in succession.] [In the 310th year, you had three Wind-Calming Pearls left, and now a single pearl could only last ten years.] [Thus, you decided to buy a few more Wind-Calming Pearls to ensure you had enough for continued cultivation.] [But Immortal Ziling told you that you could exchange contribution points for Wind-Calming Pearls within the sect...] [You sold some Immortal Treasures and Spirit Stones for contribution points, and purchased five more Wind-Calming Pearls.] [With sufficient Wind-Calming Pearls, you continued your stable cultivation...] [In the 360th year, you could feel the enhancements from the Wind Calamity progressively reaching its limit...] [At this point, the overall potential boost from the Wind Calamity had almost reached eleven percent!] [Thus, you continued to accumulate your foundation, and another ten years passed.] [In the 370th year, the potential boost from the Wind Calamity had reached a full eleven percent!] Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire [This exceeded the limit of an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal... In the entire Three Thousand Worlds, the number of cultivators who have achieved this is less than the number of one''s fingers!] [After the breakthrough in potential, you wanted to continue testing how much more the Wind Calamity could add, so you underwent another ten years of the Wind Calamity.] [In the 380th year, you were disappointed to find that the enhancement from the Wind Calamity had become negligible... even if you endured another five hundred years of the Wind Calamity, it would be difficult to increase your potential by another ten percent...] Chapter 925 - 332: Finally Ascending to the True Immortal Realm! _3 ``` [Thus, you no longer hesitate, ready to end the Wind Calamity, and begin the final sprint toward the True Immortal Realm!] In the real world, Su Xing let out a sigh of relief. "Finally, with an elevenfold potential enhancement, surpassing an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal! This Wind Calamity has been utilized to its utmost by me!" Su Xing did some quick calculations, the total duration of his Wind Calamity had exceeded seven hundred years... Aside from that Wind Spirit Root cultivator, Su Xing could be considered a rarity! "However, that cultivator''s Wind Calamity lasted a thousand years... I fear the actual increase in potential was just over elevenfold, far from reaching twelvefold... The benefit of the Wind Calamity diminishes over time, there''s no need to force it!" Pausing, Su Xing continued, "Thus, with the end of the Wind Calamity, the next step into the True Immortal Realm is just a matter of course!" Thinking thus, Su Xing looked toward the Simulation Panel. [In the three hundred and eighty-first year, you declared your seclusion to the outside world, staying in your cave abode in meditation, capturing the fleeting inspiration of breaking through to the True Immortal Realm...] [Over the past centuries, you had numerous opportunities to break through to the True Immortal Realm in one fell swoop, but you always suppressed it, all to ensure the greatest growth of potential!] [Now that the time is ripe, naturally you won''t hesitate!] [After sitting in meditation for seven years, you feel the winds around you rapidly subsiding...] [From turbulent winds, they gradually become gentle breezes...] [As the Clear Wind passes over your Heavenly Spirit Acupoint, you feel a burst of inspiration flash through...] [In the next instant, the qi around your body begins to climb!] [The flesh of your being, the immortal power, further sublimates...] [The entire process goes exceptionally smoothly, almost as if you had just slept through it...] [When you come to your senses again, you feel completely rejuvenated... Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the True Immortal Realm!] In the real world, Su Xing''s lips curled into a smile. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire "Finally, a successful breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm!" "From the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the True Immortal Realm... The biggest bottleneck is the Wind Calamity!" "Once past the Wind Calamity, the path becomes smooth and unobstructed!" "True Immortal Realm... it comes naturally!" Su Xing had once perused the classics, cultivators at the Heavenly Immortal Realm during the Wind Calamity, receive the greatest enhancement, their overall strength able to increase by fifty percent to more than double! For instance, Su Xing''s increase in immortal power, talent, and physical body... all exceeded double! And after officially breaking through to the True Immortal Realm, the increase was somewhat lesser, with a major realm breakthrough enhancement of only about fifty percent. For this reason, cultivators at the Heavenly Immortal Realm try everything possible to extend the Wind Calamity by a few more years, all for the sake of future strength growth... "A successful breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm... Thus, the objective of this simulation has also been successfully achieved!" "Staying in the Qingyun Sect would be problematic now... Perhaps it is time to venture out and have a look?" Su Xing decided not to sit idly by; with his current strength, perhaps he could already sustain mid-to-long distance voyages through The Void? Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze turned toward the Simulation Panel. [In the three hundred and eighty-third year, after some preparations, you decide to leave the Qingyun Sect to seek experience in the outside world.] [At this point, the situation of the Three Thousand Worlds is extremely dire, the entire Little Qingyun Realm, as well as dozens of surrounding Minor Thousand Worlds, have already fallen...] [Fortunately, the Qingyun Realm was unharmed; thus, you prepare to leave from another side of the Qingyun Realm, traveling to the more distant worlds...] [To the south of the Qingyun Realm lie hundreds of Middle Thousand Worlds, the distance so vast, it even reaches the Endless Sea Domain...] [The Endless Sea Domain is the collective name for a region of The Void...] [The Endless Sea Domain is the worst illusionary realm in The Void, filled with countless space currents, similar to ocean currents, fraught with danger everywhere.] [And its vast expanse... Not a single Minor Thousand World exists within, leaving no place for cultivators to remain.] [Like oceans and continents...] [And the Endless Sea Domain separates the Qingyun Realm from the central region of the Three Thousand Worlds... the Heavenly Secrets Domain!] [With your strength, you are not yet able to cross the Endless Sea Domain, but you prepare to explore the southern small worlds...] [You control the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, using the Dao of Space, the boat flies southward at a terrifying speed...] [Within just one year, you cross over twenty Void Nodes and smoothly arrive at a place called the Southern Yan Realm.] [The Southern Yan Realm is a Minor Thousand World and is quite renowned amongst the dozens of small worlds nearby, simply because it harbors a bird that resembles a swallow.] [The taste of this bird is exquisite, a rare delicacy for immortals, but it is extremely fast and hard to catch, thus expensive...] Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the following decade, you travel through more than ten Minor Thousand Worlds, greatly broadening your understanding of the Three Thousand Worlds.] [And during this time, you also receive a piece of dire news...] [It seems that another three Minor Thousand Worlds near the Qingyun Realm have fallen... the situation in the entire Qingyun Domain is increasingly alarming!] [You silently sigh in your heart, if it continues at this rate, in a few thousand years, the entire Qingyun Domain might fall...] [Time flies to the four hundred and tenth year of the simulation!] [One day, a premonition from your talent to avoid misfortune alerts you...] [Several days later, Qing Yunzi finds you...] [By now, he has completely succumbed to madness, consumed by an Evil Corpse...] [Facing an attack from a Daluo Golden Immortal, you have no power to resist...] [You are dead!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ends, Su Xing frowns slightly. "Sure enough, I still can''t avoid being hunted down by Qing Yunzi..." ``` Chapter 926 - 332: Finally Entering the True Immortal Realm!_4 Su Xing sighed deeply, as Qing Yunzi could not eradicate the Evil Corpse, it would always "lurk" around Luo Tian''s secrets! This was Qing Yunzi''s deepest obsession... And Su Xing, being the most closely related direct descendant of Luo Tian Sect, naturally became the target of Qing Yunzi''s pursuit. Su Xing sighed and said, "Well, after fully accepting the Luo Tian legacy... perhaps I will find a way to deal with Qing Yunzi!" Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn''t help but feel excited. The entire legacy of Luo Tian Sect... and that mysterious Luo Tian Mirror seemed to be beckoning to him! Just as long as Su Xing''s cultivation level broke through to the True Immortal Realm! Su Xing eagerly looked at the simulation reward list. [Shennong Alive]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 origin energy points. [Wind-Calming Pearl]: A treasure resisting wind disasters, capable of withstanding all winds of the world, priced at 100,000 origin energy points. [True Immortal Realm First Layer]: Surmount the three calamities of an Immortal, achieve True Immortality, the Great Dao is expected, longevity as long as a Kalpa! Priced at 300,000 origin energy points! In this simulation, Su Xing entirely focused on overcoming the wind disaster and breaking through the True Immortal Realm... so the available rewards were not many. "True Immortal Realm cultivation, does the first layer need three hundred thousand energy?" Su Xing sighed in his heart, this energy requirement was almost as he had guessed. "Well, there''s nothing to hesitate about then, let''s get ready to break through to the True Immortal Realm!" Su Xing immediately set off towards the Immortal Martial Era Instance, then entered the ruins of Commanding Fire Sect. Previously, Su Xing had taken some time to set up several Concealment and Heavenly Secrets shielding formations at this site. Moreover, as Su Xing stepped into the initial realm of the Path of Causality and Destiny, shielding Heavenly Secrets became even more effortless. "Breaking into the True Immortal Realm will definitely cause a big disturbance... better lay down a few more layers of protection!" Su Xing muttered to himself. Although he was about to step into the realm of True Immortal, he did not intend to be discovered by Red Moon before he had sufficient strength. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Perhaps, after reaching the Golden Immortal Realm... I can directly confront Red Moon without any more need for subterfuge!" Su Xing spent several days setting up multiple layers of protective methods. Once everything was ready, Su Xing recited in his mind, "I choose to bring along the talent Shennong Alive... and True Immortal Realm First Layer cultivation!" [Ding, detected you possess a lower-tier same-type talent Descendant of Shennong... Talent swapping in progress!] [Congratulations for successfully bringing out the talent Shennong Alive, costing 10 origin energy points, remaining origin energy points 1,612,560...] [Congratulations for successfully bringing out True Immortal Realm First Layer cultivation... costing 300,000 origin energy points, remaining origin energy points 1,312,560...] As the simulation prompt sounded, two mysterious energies surged into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing first felt an exceptionally strong affinity to the surrounding spirit plants, seemingly able to easily capture their thoughts, all spirit plants and Immortal Elixirs could easily be cultivated by him. This was the effect brought about by the Golden Talent Shennong Alive! "Tsk tsk... I hadn''t tried the effects of the Shennong Alive talent in simulations before, must give it a try when I have the chance later!" Su Xing took a deep breath, ready to welcome the transformation of his cultivation. The next second, Su Xing''s momentum began to grow rapidly... As he broke through from the Heavenly Immortal Realm peak to the True Immortal Realm... a layer of shackles on Su Xing''s body slowly unraveled... The mana inside Su Xing''s body, like a surging river, flowed endlessly! Both the quality and robustness of his mana were far better than before... Su Xing slightly closed his eyes, continuously adjusting his breathing and adapting to the surge of cultivation in his body. Half a day later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile, "True Immortal Realm cultivation, finally achieved!" The joy in Su Xing''s heart was unmistakable. Transitioning from Heavenly Immortal to True Immortal Realm, passing the complete three disasters of an Immortal, was a major transformation in cultivation! But what was more important for Su Xing... after reaching the True Immortal Realm, Su Xing truly had the capability to inherit the Luo Tian Sect''s legacy! "Before leaving Blue Star... I must make a trip to the Luo Tian Grand Meeting!" Chapter 927 - 333: Simulator Version Update, Luo Tian Mirror Acknowledges Its Master! Su Xing once received a hint from Luo Qingniu at the Luo Tian Great Assembly. Find a cultivator at the True Immortal Realm before the Luo Tian Mirror completely vanishes, venture inside and inherit the legacy of the Luo Tian Sect! Now, as Su Xing''s own Cultivation Level had reached that point, it was only natural for him to obtain such benefits. "However, before heading to Luo Tian, I should simulate once more... It would be more appropriate to enter after enduring no accidents!" Su Xing estimated, not minding another week''s delay. Thus, in the following week, Su Xing, as usual, created talismans, amassed some materials, and supplied them for his puppets to trade. ... Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and the date soon arrived at February 3, 2026, of the New Era. That week, after trading with Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave to prepare for a new round of simulation! Looking at the simulation duration on the panel, which was about to cool down, Su Xing murmured, "This journey to Luo Tian is crucial, absolutely no mistakes can be made!" "I must secure the Luo Tian Mirror''s inheritance before entering the real world..." "In addition, I need to prepare a batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers for the upcoming trade in the Little Qingyun Realm..." Su Xing pondered, and after the simulation time cooled down, he mentally commanded, "Begin simulation!" [Ding, detected that the host has broken through to the True Immortal Realm, the simulator version can be further upgraded, this upgrade costs 100,000 Origin Energy Source points, would you like to upgrade?] Stunned by the prompt, Su Xing then checked the effects of this simulator upgrade. Seeing one particular feature, Su Xing''s eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curved upward, "Has this function finally been unlocked? Then I must upgrade! The trip to the Little Qingyun Realm has just become a lot more convenient..." Su Xing decisively said, "Confirm upgrade!" [Ding, you spent 100,000 Origin Energy Source points, remaining Origin Energy Source points are 1,267,856...] [Simulator version upgrading...] [Upgrade successful!] A series of prompts rang in Su Xing''s ears, and he couldn''t wait to look at the newly unlocked function. [Simulator 6.0 Version Update Features as follows]: [1. Golden Talent Lottery chance increased to a constant probability of 80%, with a 5% chance of drawing a Red Talent.] [2. Increase the Talent slot limit by five.] [3. Talent Lottery pool function optimization...] [4. New save simulation function, can store simulation attempts, with a maximum limit of three...] "This simulator upgrade has brought some significant effects!" "A 5% chance... to draw a Red Talent... Although the probability isn''t high, it''s still something to look forward to!" Su Xing murmured. Currently, Golden Talents were sufficient for his use; what he desperately needed was energy for his cultivation... Without the Immersive Simulation function, his energy would have long been insufficient! "Increased Talent limit, optimized Lottery pool... These are just icing on the cake!" "...The most critical is this new simulation save function!" "Now with this new feature, I can delay my simulation time by three weeks and won''t waste simulation attempts!" Su Xing''s lips curled up. Previously, unused simulation attempts were lost, making Su Xing reluctant on many occasions even though he had his eye on certain rewards, but was unable due to limited resources. Now, Su Xing could completely accumulate a burst of energy... then carry out multiple simulations for an explosive increase in strength! "At least... during voyages in the Void... I won''t have to worry about a lack of energy!" Su Xing took a deep breath, the new simulation function came at a perfect time, sparing him many future troubles. "Well then, let us officially begin the simulation!" [Simulation attempt number 124 commencing, remaining Origin Energy Source points are 1,267,856... remaining simulation attempts are unlimited.] [Simulation starting!] [Drawing a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 Origin Energy Source point, would you like to draw?] "Confirm draw!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent ''The Speedy Man''... Your next chance to draw a Golden Talent is 80%!] [''The Speedy Man'']: Golden Talent, you possess great talent in the way of speed, you are a man quick in everything... "Hmm? This Talent..." Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows, feeling a premonition of unease; this thing wouldn''t have any side effects, would it! "Cough cough... Speed isn''t difficult to come by, it''s unnecessary to waste reward attempts with much consideration anymore..." Su Xing skimmed past the Talent, eagerly viewing the simulation panel. [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are simulating...] [Without hesitation, you immediately set out toward the entrance of the Luo Tian Instance...] [You have entered the Luo Tian Instance...] In the real world, upon seeing this, Su Xing silently commanded, "Use Immersive Simulation..." [Ding...] The simulation prompt sounded, and Su Xing found himself in the Luo Tian World. Luo Qingniu''s voice came to his ears: "After waiting for several eons, you have finally appeared... the one destined!" This was the first time Su Xing heard different words in the Luo Tian Instance after hundreds of entries. Su Xing looked at the elder in the great hall, whose face wore the marks of time, and with complex eyes, he gazed at Su Xing. After a moment of silence, Su Xing asked, Continue your story on My Virtual Library Empire "Why do you say... the destined one?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Qingniu replied, "Several eons ago... as my Luo Tian Sect fell into decline... out of desperation, we used the Luo Tian Mirror to open this Secret Realm, allowing us old folks to survive within it!" "But before opening the Secret Realm, we had sought help from the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion... He said Luo Tian Sect''s fate was not yet sealed and that after several eons, a cultivator would appear to resolve our difficulties!" "And now, we have finally waited for you!" Chapter 928 - 333: Simulator Version Update, Luo Tian Mirror Acknowledges Its Master!_2 Hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, Su Xing''s heart trembled. Several eras ago, did that Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion actually predict up to this very moment!? "No, that''s not right...I''ve clearly been here many times already...the Pavilion Master''s power definitely isn''t to the extent that he can traverse the time-space river at will!" "At most, is it just a vague perception, right?" Previously when Su Xing came here, Luo Qingniu had mentioned that one must reach the True Immortal Realm to be qualified to help them, inheriting the Luo Tian Legacy. Thus, Su Xing inquired calmly, "Oh? Then how do you know...that the so-called person of destiny is myself?" After hearing Su Xing''s question, Luo Qingniu stepped forward, scrutinized Su Xing, and then nodded, "There''s no mistake! You possess part of the Luo Tian Sect''s legacy!" "The Luo Tianhua Immortal Jue... the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, and even the Zhengyi Submission Decision you''ve learned!" "This means... you must have received part of the Luo Tian Sect''s legacy, right?" "Or to say, you are simply a descendant of my Luo Tian Sect?" Speaking to this point, Luo Qingniu''s eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, "For several eras, there have been cultivators who entered this place...but none satisfied the conditions, and their Cultivation Levels aren''t even at the True Immortal Realm!" "Now, the might of the Luo Tian Mirror is gradually dissipating... we won''t last much longer!" Hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, Su Xing instead breathed a sigh of relief. From Luo Qingniu''s words, he seemed to have mistakenly thought that Su Xing obtained the Luo Tian Legacy from the outside world. But in fact, these legacies were exactly what these people had taught Su Xing...this at least proved that the secret of the Simulator had not been exposed! Su Xing kept his composure and then asked, "Indeed, I have gained a part of the Luo Tian Legacy...and found my way here..." "But I want to know, how am I to assist you?" After hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Qingniu explained, "In reality, what you see before you...including myself, all descendants of the Luo Tian Sect, are pretty much half-dead..." "The reason we say half-dead is because of the existence of the Luo Tian Mirror, a Supreme Treasure!" "We have lived in this Secret Realm for several eras and should have long since passed away...but the Luo Tian Mirror has kept us eternally at that one day!" "But now as the energy of the Luo Tian Mirror is gradually dissipating...if it had sufficient energy, the mirror could slowly repair itself, and we could continue to exist a bit longer..." After a pause, Luo Qingniu continued, "We are not afraid of death nor are we greedy for life...but the great enmity of the Luo Tian Sect has not been avenged; we at least want to wait until the day the Luo Tian Sect regains its glory...only then can we rest in peace under the nine springs!" Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this; he had roughly known this before. The issue he was concerned with was how he should resolve this problem and, incidentally, inherit the Luo Tian Mirror. Before Su Xing could ask further, Luo Qingniu explained, "The Luo Tian Mirror is a Chaotic Supreme Treasure...its contained energy is terrifying, but over these eras, its energy has gradually dissipated..." "Everything in the world belongs to chaos, therefore it can all be transformed into energy to replenish the Luo Tian Mirror..." "But after research by our Luo Tian Sect''s successive ancestors, the best way to replenish the energy of the Luo Tian Mirror has been found to be through the replenishment of Spiritual Power or Immortal Power!" "In the heyday of our Luo Tian Sect... every hundred years, there would be seventy-two Golden Immortals who would infuse Immortal Power into the Luo Tian Mirror to replenish its energy!" "But now, the Luo Tian Sect is no longer as it once was!" After another pause, Luo Qingniu continued, "Infusing energy into the Luo Tian Mirror... is tremendously draining! The amount of Immortal Power that needs to be spent, only those above the True Immortal Realm are able to bear it!" "And the continuous infusion of Immortal Power might cause the Cultivation Realms of True Immortals to fall..." Hearing this, Su Xing''s brow furrowed slightly. Cultivation Realm falling after infusing Immortal Power? This wasn''t good news at all! After all, to Su Xing, the Cultivation Realm was the foundation of strength! As if seeing the hesitation in Su Xing''s heart, Luo Qingniu hurriedly said, "Your foundation is solid...you must have survived the wind calamity for at least over three hundred years, right?" "With the Cultivation Level of the True Immortal Realm... continuously infusing Immortal Power for three days should be able to keep the Luo Tian Mirror running for at least about three months! Although your Cultivation Realm might fall afterward, it will quickly be restored!" Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire "If you come across someone you trust, you can also admit them into the Luo Tian Sect... to infuse the Luo Tian Mirror with Immortal Power to maintain its operation!" "Moreover, the Luo Tian Mirror is a Chaotic Supreme Treasure, extremely profound...although after infusing Immortal Power, one''s Cultivation Realm will temporarily fall, it is also beneficial for a cultivator''s cultivation!" "Not only can it condense the Mana within the body... but in the future, one''s foundation will be even more stable!" Hearing this, Su Xing slightly relaxed. The True Immortal Realm, sacrificing a Minor Realm of Cultivation, to maintain the Luo Tian Mirror for three months'' time. For Su Xing, who possessed the Simulator, it wasn''t really a problem; at most, his cultivation would be a bit slower... Moreover, once Su Xing''s Cultivation Level was higher in the future, he wouldn''t even need to drop in Realm, he could directly maintain the operation of the Luo Tian Mirror. "The price to pay... seems acceptable?" sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing relaxed, but still maintained his composure, waiting for Luo Qingniu to state his price. If the effects of the Luo Tian Mirror were just to solidify Mana and increase the foundation, but required the price of a fall in Realm, it wouldn''t meet Su Xing''s expectations... Seeing Su Xing''s silence and the unfavorable expression on his face, Luo Qingniu continued, "The might of the Luo Tian Mirror... naturally is far more than that!" "I promise, if you''re willing to become the next Sect Master of my Luo Tian Sect... this treasure will belong to you!" Chapter 929 - 333: Simulator Version Update, Luo Tian Mirror Binds to Its Master!_3 "The Luo Tian Mirror possesses the ability to alter reality... As long as you infuse some immortal power, you can bring out the resources needed for cultivation from within the Luo Tian Realm!" "And our Luo Tian Sect, passed down for dozens of Yuanhui... nearly all resources for cultivation are available for your use!" "Moreover, after the Luo Tian Mirror recognizes its master, you can enter it at any time, and all the secret inheritances of the Luo Tian Sect over countless years... will all belong to you!" "Even... every cultivator of our Luo Tian Sect will be able to assist you... The spiritual medicines we grow within the Luo Tian Realm, the weapons we forge, as long as you are willing and expend some mana, can all be brought into reality!" Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire Upon hearing Luo Qingniu''s words, Su Xing finally showed emotion! Unrestricted access into the Luo Tian Mirror... Wouldn''t this mean that Su Xing would own a vast treasure vault! And moreover, everything inside the Luo Tian Mirror could be taken out by Su Xing... Such functionality, the operability was too strong! Not to mention... just the Gathering Spirit Flowers inside the Luo Tian Realm alone were enough to make Su Xing''s mouth water! "Infusing immortal power can bring some resources out... This doesn''t conflict with the simulator!" "If I possess the Luo Tian Mirror, my growth speed will undoubtedly accelerate significantly!" Su Xing pondered in his heart, already greatly tempted. And at this moment, Luo Qingniu continued to make his offer: "Besides, the legacies left by our Luo Tian Sect in the Three Thousand Worlds... there are as many as hairs on an ox. As long as you agree to become the Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect, all those Luo Tian legacies will also belong to you!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing could no longer contain his excitement. Previously, the legacies Su Xing found were only a tiny fraction... But if he could get all of the Luo Tian Sect''s legacies... not to mention advancing to a Profound Immortal or Golden Immortal, even the resources needed to rise to a Daluo Golden Immortal level would probably be sufficient! Thus, Su Xing nodded and said, "I can... What should I do?" Upon hearing this, Luo Qingniu flicked his sleeve, and Su Xing found himself suddenly within the grand assembly place of the Luo Tian Realm. Then, Luo Qingniu pointed to the palm-sized Luo Tian Mirror suspended in the air and said, "This is the original body of the Luo Tian Mirror... and our current location is an independent space within the Luo Tian Mirror, the Luo Tian Realm!" "The mysteries of the Luo Tian Mirror are numerous... you can slowly explore them later!" "But now, you just need to infuse a certain amount of mana to enter the most core space of the Luo Tian Realm... As long as you pass the Luo Tian Mirror''s assessment, you will obtain certain permissions!" Speaking of this, Luo Qingniu comforted him, "Although the Luo Tian Mirror is a Chaotic Supreme Treasure, the assessment by its artifact spirit is not difficult... Anyone who has cultivated to the True Immortal Realm wouldn''t have poor aptitude; you are sure to gain the initial level of permissions!" Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "That''s good, then I will go for the assessment now!" Su Xing didn''t know if this was a trap waiting for him, but in the simulation, dying was nothing more than wasting a simulation opportunity... a cost he could completely afford! Thus, with a single step, Su Xing came beneath that ancient, small mirror suspended in the air. Immediately, Su Xing stretched out his right hand, and strands of immortal power infused into it... Initially, Su Xing didn''t take it seriously, this infusion of immortal power was like using divine skills in real combat, just a temporary expenditure, soon to be replenished... But the suction force grew stronger, and Su Xing''s expression began to change. Ten percent... thirty percent... fifty percent... eighty percent! The Luo Tian Mirror continuously absorbed the immortal power from Su Xing''s body, taking in ninety percent of his immortal power before it seemed as if it had just had its fill at last and finally stopped. Immediately afterward, a flash of light passed over the Luo Tian Mirror, sprinkling onto Su Xing, and then he disappeared from the spot, appearing in a strange space... Seeing this, Luo Qingniu muttered from afar, "Are you really the person we have been waiting for? I hope so... We can''t wait much longer!" Clearly, Luo Qingniu hadn''t told Su Xing the whole truth, still hiding part of it... ... On the other hand, Su Xing vanished in a flash, appearing in a strange space. This space seemed to be a blend of chaos and emptiness. No flowers or trees, not even earth or water... Su Xing just floated quietly in midair, looking around at the stark whiteness, very puzzled. "Is this the internal space of the Luo Tian Mirror? Why is there nothing here?" Just as Su Xing was puzzled, a mechanical voice came through in this space. "Lifeform detected entering the Luo Tian Realm... Initiating Luo Tian Realm master recognition assessment!" As the voice fell, a light touched Su Xing''s forehead. Then another voice came. "Checking master permissions..." "Physical body age, below a hundred years; Divine Soul age below three thousand years... Cultivation Level, True Immortal Realm First Layer!" "Spiritual Root... mutated Super Spiritual Root!" "Overall cultivation efficiency... super!" "Qi Refinement aptitude has reached the maximum recognition standard!" "... " "Physical Cultivation Level, early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" "Possesses a special physique... bloodline of the Ancient Witch Clan, bloodline of the ancient Swallow Heaven Beast..." "Body Refinement aptitude has reached grade A-, fitting the first-class recognition standard!" "..." "Special physique detection in progress..." "Detected that the target possesses the Five Elements Holy Body, Innate Sword Body, Acquired Taoist Body, Inborn Unique Meridian..." "Overall physique evaluation, reached grade A+, fitting the first-class recognition standard!" "..." "Great Dao Cultivation Realm detection in progress..." "Five Elements Dao Third Realm, Sword Dao Second Realm, Great Dao of Space Third Realm... Fate Grand Dao Second Realm, Cause and Effect Grand Dao Second Realm... Great Dao of Thunder Third Realm... power speed has reached the Realm of Perfection in the Great Dao''s origin!" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Overall Great Dao evaluation... extraordinary! Meets the maximum recognition standard!" "..." "Hundred Arts of Cultivation detection in progress..." "Reached the Great Grandmaster state in Artifact Refining, peak of the Alchemy Grandmaster state, Grandmaster state in Talisman and Dao of Puppets... Grandmaster state in the Way of Divination... Supreme state in the Soul-Nurturing Way!" "Overall Hundred Arts of Cultivation evaluation... grade A+! Meets the first-class recognition standard!" Su Xing''s ears continuously heard the voice of the Luo Tian Mirror. Su Xing''s eyes widened as he murmured: "Holy shit, it''s worthy of being a Chaotic Supreme Treasure! This is definitely the most detailed aptitude test I''ve ever seen! It''s practically stripping me down to my underpants!" Su Xing took a deep breath and then murmured again: "The Soul-Nurturing Way... has it really reached the Supreme state?" Su Xing had barely practiced the Soul-Nurturing Way, relying entirely on the blessings of his innate talent! "Tsk tsk... maybe it''s due to the blessings from ancestor Shennong... In the Soul-Nurturing Way, Shennong is naturally the top in the world!" Su Xing estimated that his Hundred Arts of Cultivation would never reach a grade A+ evaluation. But due to the Soul-Nurturing Way, the evaluation in that part could have been boosted several grades! "Luo Tian Mirror''s recognition aptitude test involves Qi Refinement, Body Refinement aptitude, Spiritual Root aptitude that''s all right, but it can even reach Great Dao comprehension and Hundred Arts of Cultivation?" Su Xing smacked his lips; truly worthy of being a Chaotic Supreme Treasure, indeed extraordinary! "Looking at Luo Qingniu''s previous words, combined with the current situation, it seems that Luo Tian Mirror recognition also has different levels?" "Perhaps... different levels correspond to different permissions?" "And my Qi refinement aptitude and Great Dao comprehension have reached extraordinary levels... others also meet the first-class recognition standard, that should be good enough, right?" "Regarding the Divine Soul age... perhaps it refers to memory? Does every time I immerse in a simulation count as the growth of Divine Soul age?" Su Xing''s lips curled upwards; finally, the solid foundation he built in the past, his deepening comprehension of the Great Dao had not been in vain! "Still unsure... what benefits do different permission levels correspond to?" Su Xing pondered continuously in his heart. However, just when Su Xing thought the detection by the Luo Tian Mirror had ended, several more voices came to his ears. "Fate detection in progress..." "Detected that the target is endowed with primordial fate... fate level second-class!" "Met the second-class fate standard... fits the first-class recognition standard..." Inside the space of the Luo Tian Mirror, Su Xing was unsettled in the moment he heard this. "Holy shit, it can even detect fate?" "And with all kinds of fate talents endowed upon me, I am only second-class in fate?" Su Xing touched his chin. At this moment, he possessed two fate-related talents, Fortune Shines Brightly and Avert Disaster! With these two talents combined, Su Xing''s fate was probably among the top in a Minor Thousand Worlds! Among billions of people, maybe just one or two... Yet, this qualifies only as second-class fate? "Based on this algorithm... a first-class fate standard, might be the Son of Destiny in a Minor Thousand Worlds or even a Middle Thousand Worlds!" "And extraordinary fate... is perhaps the fate standard of a Great Thousand Worlds or even the Three Thousand Worlds?" Su Xing thought deeply. Just then, the white space around him vibrated continuously, echoing with voices. "Initial comprehensive recognition evaluation... extraordinary!" "Unique supreme permissions can be unlocked for the target!" Chapter 930 - 334: The Wonderful Use of the Luo Tian Mirror, Power of Creation? With the voice, a gentle light also fell upon Su Xing. This light transformed into an ancient-looking virtual mirror, infusing into the center of Su Xing''s brow. Su Xing immediately felt a surge of vast amounts of information and energy enter his mind... The next second, Su Xing briefly fainted. At the same time, within the Luo Tian Realm, the sky and the ground, all trembled. Luo Qingniu, who was anxiously waiting, saw this scene, eyes widening in disbelief, and exclaimed, "Hisss~ Could he truly be the one fated?" "Looking at the Luo Tian Mirror''s activity... at least second-class recognition authority? Or even... first-class recognition authority!?" A strange light flashed in Luo Qingniu''s eyes. The Luo Tian Mirror''s recognition didn''t consider anything else... it judged purely by aptitude! Second-class recognition authority signified at least the potential to achieve the strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal! And first-class recognition authority... in the history of the Luo Tian Sect, only one person had ever obtained it, and that was the Ancestral Master of the Luo Tian Sect! As for higher authority... Luo Qingniu dared not venture so far in thought. ... When Su Xing regained consciousness, he was already in the real world. "Strange... did I really faint for a whole day during the simulation?" "What level of treasure is this Luo Tian Mirror, a Chaotic Supreme Treasure?" "This ability to shift between virtual reality... feels somewhat familiar!" sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing frowned in contemplation, then shook his head, saying, "No... The functions of the simulator and the Luo Tian Mirror are fundamentally different..." "The simulator truly shuttles between reality and the future world between timelines and virtual existences!" "The Luo Tian Mirror, however... seems to be able to freeze people and things from long ago within a specific period of time... The space inside the Luo Tian Mirror, and everything within it, does truly exist!" "But if one wishes to take treasures out from the Luo Tian Mirror, mana must be infused... This point is somewhat similar to the simulator!" Su Xing pondered continuously. As Su Xing''s cultivation realm rose higher and higher, he gradually believed that the simulator must be some extremely powerful Supreme Treasure! The level of this treasure was beyond Su Xing''s imagination possibly even surpassing the Luo Tian Mirror, a Chaotic Supreme Treasure! "The functionality of the Luo Tian Mirror is somewhat understood... Its abilities are generally similar to those of the simulator..." "However, the two can complement each other... The usage requirement for the Luo Tian Mirror is a bit lower, one only needs to infuse mana to extract the required resources!" Su Xing murmured softly, eyes turning to the simulation panel. He wanted to clear up what might happen next.

However, the vast majority of the Luo Tian Sect''s sect members have fallen into slumber!] [Over several Yuan Meetings, the power of the Luo Tian Mirror waned... the space within the Luo Tian Realm shrank continuously.] [In the end... only a few mountain gates of the Luo Tian Sect remained... spanning just tens of thousands of Zhang...] [You try placing some items within the Luo Tian Realm, surprised to find that objects from the real world can be brought in... but to take them back out requires a payment of mana!] [In fact, you can pay mana to bring out a certain amount of Gathering Spirit Flowers from the back mountain!] [As far as the eye can see, everything within the mountain gates of the Luo Tian Sect... you can take to the real world, as long as you have enough mana!] Back in the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow and commented, "Well, well... so bringing things in is free, but taking them out costs money, huh? Isn''t this just freeloading?" "However... this Luo Tian Realm can fully be considered an independent Minor Thousand Worlds!" "Doesn''t this mean... I have become the master of my own world? If I concentrate on repairing the Luo Tian Mirror... the potential for the future is boundless!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s eyes sparkled with excitement, but upon further thought, he felt that since he had inherited the Luo Tian Mirror, it was necessary to visit again to fully understand the internal parts of the Luo Tian Realm! "After gaining the highest authority of the Luo Tian Mirror, did I enter a realm similar to an inner world? And that Luotian Meeting before was just the outer world?" Su Xing pondered, then silently chanted, "Use immersive simulation... for the duration of one month!" Su Xing guessed that a month''s time should be enough to get familiar with the real Luo Tian Realm, right? [Ding, you have successfully used immersive...] As the simulator''s notification sound finished, Su Xing''s consciousness sank into the simulated world. ... "Is this... the real Luo Tian Realm?" Su Xing looked around and showed a surprised expression. Within the Luo Tian Realm, all mountains, stones, flowers, and even spiritual medicines and spirit plants had not changed, just as Su Xing had seen in the Luotian Meeting Instance! The only difference was, there was not even a single cultivator here! "So... where have all the cultivators gone?" Su Xing frowned slightly, quickly came up with a location in mind, the site of the Luotian Meeting! Then, Su Xing stepped out and arrived inside the Luotian Meeting site. Sure enough, he saw tens of thousands of cultivators there! These cultivators were all sect members of the Luo Tian Sect! Chapter 931 - 334 The Wonderful Use of the Luo Tian Mirror, the Power of Creation?_2 Su Xing had seen Luo Qingniu, Niu Ruolie... even Ghost Grandma, Shennong, all were here! "Are these cultivators... really still alive?" Su Xing looked around and frowned slightly. These hundreds of thousands of cultivators, lined up in the vast altar, looked dazed, like puppets, showing no signs of life. "So... is it because the power of the Luo Tian Mirror is gradually dissipating, causing changes in the inner world, rendering these sect members unable to move?" As Su Xing pondered, streams of memories transformed into bright light, flooding into his mind. This was... the usage of the Luo Tian Mirror, along with the permissions Su Xing had! After digesting this information for a while, Su Xing finally understood the mechanism of the Luo Tian Mirror. "His~ This Luo Tian Mirror, is it really so mystical?" The transmitted information included many points, but overall, it could be summarized as follows. First, Su Xing was the highest authority owner of the Luo Tian Mirror, capable of fully deciding the life and death of any being within the Luo Tian Realm, and could dispose of them as he wished! This meant, with just a thought, Su Xing could make these cultivators vanish forever... "However, compared to letting these disciples of Luo Tian Sect die, there seems to be a greater value I could create?" "Like... having Shennong farm, having the Elder of Alchemy perform alchemy... having the Elder of Artifact Refining perform artifact refining, this simply is an incomparable source of free labor!" Su Xing''s eyes lit up, but the only regret was that controlling these sect members required the injection of mana to ensure they could work! Second, the flow of time and space within the Luo Tian Realm was adjustable! As long as Su Xing injected enough mana into the Luo Tian Realm, he could make the flow of time inside the realm faster than the real world! For example, what was one day in the real world could be up to ten days, a month, or even a year in the Luo Tian Realm! Similarly, altering the speed of time also required the injection of immortal power. The greater the disparity in ratio, the more immortal power needed! Third, the internal space of the Luo Tian Realm was infinitely large, its original size even equivalent to a complete Great Thousand Worlds! Before the destruction of the Luo Tian Realm... the Luo Tian Mirror had replicated everything within the Luo Tian Realm inside it! This included its cultivators, creatures, and even infinite treasures... And as the energy of the Luo Tian Mirror continued to dissipate, currently, only a few main peaks of the Luo Tian Sect were accessible, the rest of the places were all locked... If Su Xing wanted these areas to be restored, he needed to inject mana! "Wow... this Luo Tian Mirror, overall, is just an invincible production tool!" "No wonder, even though the Luo Tian Sect had been destroyed so long ago, these members still hope to rally and revive the Luo Tian Sect! It''s probably because they have the Luo Tian Mirror as their trump card!" "From the functionalities of this Luo Tian Mirror... could this be the rumored, power of creation?" "Even... could I use the Luo Tian Mirror in the future to replicate some treasures that have disappeared or become extinct?" Su Xing''s eyes brightened, and the first thing he thought of was the Enlightenment Tea! Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire If he possessed this mirror, wouldn''t it mean he would have countless Enlightenment Teas? "However... these features are not directly helpful to me, right now, I want to know, what direct benefits the Luo Tian Realm can bring?" Su Xing pondered a while, then began to explore the few main peaks that only the Luo Tian Sect had. These main peaks were close together, covering an area of about tens of thousands of feet. "Over 120,000 Gathering Spirit Flowers, they are indeed all within the main peak of Luo Tian Sect!" Su Xing''s eyes glinted; with these Gathering Spirit Flowers, it was like having an inexhaustible source of Spiritual Liquid! "And... most importantly, the Scripture Pavilion is still there! Those countless cultivation techniques, ancient books, Divine Skills... can''t I just view them anytime?" "Even, there are several alchemy rooms, artifact refining rooms... could I also have these disciples of Luo Tian Sect help me with alchemy?" Su Xing pondered, seeing many actionable parts within this. Now, the only question was... how much mana would these actions consume? And how much mana would it take to bring resources out of the Luo Tian Realm? sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "So... let''s go have a look!" Su Xing took a step and returned to the Heavenly Altar where the great assembly of Luo Tian had taken place. He pondered a while, first coming to Shennong Youtian. This Shennong Youtian, proficient in the Soul-Nurturing Way, his mastery in nurturing probably not less than Su Xing gifted with talent! "So, let''s give it a try!" Su Xing stretched out his hands, releasing the Five Elements immortal power, slowly injecting it into Shennong Youtian''s body... Thus, about a joss stick''s time had passed. Su Xing''s inner mana was approximately reduced by one-tenth. At this moment, Shennong Youtian also gradually awoke... Shennong Youtian''s first instinct upon waking was to realize his situation, he looked at Su Xing and respectfully said, "Master, you have finally arrived!" Su Xing, hearing this address, first revealed a weird expression, but quickly adjusted, then asked: "How are you feeling now? Have I revived you?" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Shennong Youtian shook his head and said, "Master, I have not revived... or rather, I never died, just residing within the Luo Tian Mirror!" "And after you just injected mana, I was able to gain a period of freedom, or perhaps, a temporary revival?" Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this, he roughly understood the usage now C with a certain amount of immortal power, Su Xing could then "awaken" a disciple of Luo Tian, to work for him for a period of time. Chapter 932 - 334 The Wonderful Use of the Luo Tian Mirror, the Power of Creation?_3 Shennong Youtian said, "Lord, the mana you infused just now should allow me to be active for about a year... During this year, I will cooperate fully with you and serve you to the best of my ability!" After hearing this, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow. He had infused one-tenth of his mana, yet it could only resurrect Shennong Youtian for about a year? Then, wouldn''t it cost an enormous amount of mana to have all the disciples of the Gate of Luo Tian work for him? Thus, Su Xing asked, "Does every person require such a large expenditure of mana?" Upon hearing this, Shennong Youtian shook his head slightly, explaining, "That is not the case... Depending on our respective abilities, the amount of mana required varies with our Cultivation Realms!" "Before I entered the Luo Tian Realm, I had a Cultivation Level at the initial stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm... therefore, the amount of mana required is slightly more..." "But for some of the less powerful Elders, or even ordinary disciples, the amount of mana required would be far lesser..." Relieved by Shennong Youtian''s explanation, Su Xing sighed. This meant that Su Xing could freely choose to temporarily resurrect any sect member at a certain cost to serve him. Next, Su Xing followed Shennong Youtian to further acquaint himself with the matters within the Luo Tian Realm. ... Before long, several tens of days had passed. When Su Xing left the Luo Tian Realm, he last went to the back mountain and plucked a Gathering Spirit Flower. Thereafter, Su Xing tried to infuse the entire Luo Tian Realm with Spiritual Power... after expending about one-thousandth of his mana, Su Xing finally managed to bring out the Gathering Spirit Flower successfully and left the Luo Tian Realm. Next, Su Xing also tried the time-space acceleration ability of the Luo Tian Realm. Unfortunately, with Su Xing''s current Cultivation Level, even if he infused half his mana, it could only maintain a doubled speed within the Luo Tian Realm for one month... ... Soon, the immersive simulation concluded, and Su Xing returned to reality. This immersive simulation gave Su Xing a fairly complete understanding of the functions the Luo Tian Realm had shown so far. "Not bad, the Luo Tian Realm can complement some of the deficiencies in the simulation..." S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "For example, the ''me'' in the simulation defaults to not having a simulator... but the ''me'' in the simulation can have a Luo Tian Mirror!" "Having an entire Luo Tian Realm''s worth of cultivators serving me... I might not need to worry about cultivation resources, right?" Su Xing nodded slightly, murmuring to himself, "Then, it''s time to see... just how much help the Luo Tian Mirror can offer me!" Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire With that thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned toward the simulation panel. [You spent several months getting familiar with the functions of the Luo Tian Mirror...] [In the second year, you chose to leave the Blue Star and head towards the Little Qingyun Realm...] [During this year, you kept infusing the Luo Tian Mirror with mana, about once every three months. Although it did not cause your Cultivation Level to drop, it had slowed down the speed of your cultivation.] [But you know that this temporary slide in Cultivation Level is just that, temporary, as the higher your Cultivation Level gets in the future, the less the cost of maintaining the Luo Tian Mirror will be...] [In the third year, after arriving at the Little Qingyun Realm, you began to purchase Spiritual Liquid and Spirit Stones.] [You need enough Spiritual Liquid to ensure the rapid replenishment of mana, to continuously energize the Luo Tian Realm.] [You choose to resurrect some of the sect members within the Luo Tian Realm, including Shennong Youtian and other members skilled in the Spirit Nurturing Technique, hoping they would cultivate Gathering Spirit Flowers for you!] [Cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers is extremely difficult... There are not many cultivators in the entire Three Thousand Worlds who can successfully grow them.] [But Shennong Youtian, he can cultivate Gathering Spirit Flowers!] [Therefore, you issued the task of cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers to them...] [And you also started planting Gathering Spirit Flowers within the Spirit Field Cave...] [After acquiring Shennong''s in-life talent, your ability in the Soul-Nurturing Way greatly improved, and every two years, you could cultivate a thousand mature Gathering Spirit Flowers!] [So, in the subsequent twenty years, you successfully cultivated ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers and transplanted them inside the Spirit Field Cave.] [At the same time, over these twenty years, you also continuously went to the Luo Tian Realm, expended mana, and brought out over ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers from within the Luo Tian Realm!] In the real world, Su Xing looked at this and slightly furrowed his brow. "The usefulness of the Luo Tian Mirror... doesn''t seem as great as I had imagined it to be!" Su Xing found that his strength in the simulation did not improve very quickly, and he also had to divert mana to maintain the operation of the Luo Tian Mirror. This made it difficult for Su Xing to maintain rapid growth in his Cultivation Level... "But what about in reality? The simulator allows my Cultivation Level to increase rapidly, and the cost of maintaining the Luo Tian Mirror might be just a drop in the bucket in the future?" "At that time... I should be able to fully unleash the power of the Luo Tian Mirror!" thought Su Xing. "However, the Luo Tian Mirror is still useful to me at present! Those tens of thousands of Gathering Spirit Flowers on the back mountain, I have been coveting them for a long time!" With a hint of a smile on his lips, if Su Xing could obtain these Gathering Spirit Flowers, the grade of the Spirit Field Cave would absolutely rise several levels! Even more so, Su Xing could spend mana in the simulation to bear the risk of a falling Cultivation Realm, then retrieve items from the Luo Tian Realm, and spend Origin Energy Source to bring them into reality; this would have almost no impact on the real-world Su Xing! "Not bad, I''ve more or less understood the short-term use of the Luo Tian Mirror!" "But for now, I still need to continue to improve my Cultivation Level!" After pondering for a while, Su Xing''s next trip was to The Void where he might not have a supply of Origin Energy for a long stretch. Therefore, it was best to save what he could... "Upon reflection, my Body Refinement Cultivation Level hasn''t been raised for quite some time!" "It seems... it''s time to make another trip to the Star Realm!" Chapter 937 - 336: The Simulator Shows Its Power? What Level of Treasure Is This! In these fifty years, the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers in your hands has once again surged, reaching over three hundred thousand within the Spirit Field Cave! With such a number of Gathering Spirit Flowers scattered throughout the Spirit Field Cave, if it weren''t for the hundredfold increase in size after the upgrade, it would probably be difficult to even plant so many Gathering Spirit Flowers. "Three hundred thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers... converted into Origin Energy Source, that''s merely thirty thousand points!" "But the value that the Gathering Spirit Flowers can bring... is far more than just that!" A gleam flashed through Su Xing''s eyes, he was now trying to quickly acquire energy methods after arriving in the Three Thousand Worlds! Su Xing''s idea was to use the Gathering Spirit Flowers as a breakthrough, to make a big score in a short period of time, obtaining a significant amount of Origin Energy Source! "Although one Gathering Spirit Flower, in the Simulator, is only worth 0.1 points of Origin Energy Source, it can sell for at least the price of a hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones in the Three Thousand Worlds!" "And one hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, even by the dumbest means, having the Simulator recycle them, would at least exchange for 10 points of Origin Energy Source!" "This in and out... is a hundredfold difference in price!" Su Xing slightly closed his eyes, he naturally knew that exchanging Gathering Spirit Flowers for Spirit Stones, and then exchanging for energy, was a pretty dumb method... The reason why Gathering Spirit Flowers are expensive is because of their rarity... In Su Xing''s view, the best method would be if he could directly exchange Gathering Spirit Flowers for other resources, which contain a substantial amount of energy. Thus, ensuring that Su Xing acquires the Origin Energy Source as quickly as possible. "However, before that, first I need to get enough Gathering Spirit Flowers... the more, the better!" Such were Su Xing''s thoughts as his gaze then shifted towards the Simulation Panel. [The 310th year, this year your Body Refinement Cultivation Level finally made further progress!] Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision smoothly stepped into the Middle Stage of the Third Layer! At this moment, your real battle Heavenly Body Form, with a height close to three thousand zhang, resembled a mountainous Demon God...] [The enlargement of your physical form also caused a several-fold increase in your physical strength after deploying the Heavenly Body Form.] [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision smoothly moved into Minor Achievement of the Third Layer, which was something you had expected.] [With the assistance of sufficient Star Stones, breaking through the Third Layer was not difficult.] [Following that, you continued to cultivate diligently and planted more Gathering Spirit Flowers...] [In the blink of an eye, another forty years had passed.] [The 350th year, in these forty years, you have acquired nearly forty thousand more Gathering Spirit Flowers, bringing the total number of Gathering Spirit Flowers you possess to three hundred and fifty thousand!] [And you also know that you are getting ever closer to the deadline of four hundred years...] [This time, you are no longer preparing to stay within Qingyun Sect, but are preparing to head to the distant Endless Sea Domain.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly upon reading this. "The last fifty years... indeed, I can make an attempt!" "Although four hundred years of simulation is temporarily sufficient... once my Cultivation Level increases, time will become pressing!" Su Xing sighed, Qing Yunzi has always been an unstable factor. In the past, Su Xing had already been targeted by Qing Yunzi''s Evil Corpse before he obtained the Luo Tian Legacy. Now, having truly inherited the Luo Tian Mirror, if Qing Yunzi were to be devoured by the Evil Corpse, it would be even more likely for him to trouble Su Xing. "Luo Tian Sect has likely become the Heart Demon deep within Qing Yunzi''s heart, hasn''t it? Perhaps back then... there was more to the story between Qing Yunzi and the founder of Luo Tian Sect?" Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows, always feeling that the connection between Qing Yunzi and Luo Tian Sect was more than just the Wishful Visualization Technique... "Then, with the remaining time, continue to explore... and by the way, look for the treasures scattered across various worlds by Luo Tian Sect..." In Su Xing''s mind, there were hundreds of Luo Tian Sect heritages scattered, the hidden wealth contained within could be considered terrifying; not to mention, even if only half were collected, it would be enough for a long period of Su Xing''s cultivation. Even, Su Xing could opt to convert some of these heritages into Origin Energy Source! "Also, continue collecting Gathering Spirit Flowers!" Su Xing already had a plan in mind, his gaze once again turned towards the Simulation Panel. [The 351st year, taking advantage of the fact that Qing Yunzi had not completely lost control, you formally prepared to leave Qingyun Sect.] [You rode the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, heading north, and in just over ten years, passed through more than two hundred Void Nodes, experiencing over thirty Minor Thousand Worlds.] [After reaching the True Immortal Realm, the erosion of your mana by The Void clearly decreased a lot, allowing you to stay in The Void longer, so much so that you could travel for extended periods...] [In these ten years, you successively sought out four Luo Tian Sect heritages lost in various Minor Thousand Worlds and successfully found two of them.] [You gained tens of millions of drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid, tens of millions of Spirit Stones... as well as numerous Cultivation Techniques and Supernatural Powers, Magical Treasures...] [The Endless Sea Domain, being far away from the Qingyun Realm, so you continued north, pressing on towards the direction of the Endless Sea Domain...] [In the blink of an eye, another forty years had passed.] [The 400th year, although you traveled along the way, you did not neglect the enhancement of your Cultivation Level.] [With the daily intake of Spiritual Liquid, this year, your Cultivation Level advanced to the Third Layer of the True Immortal Realm...] [In the same year, the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers in your Spirit Field Cave nearly reached four hundred thousand.] Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire [But what shocked you was that the Endless Sea Domain is really too far away... starting from Qingyun Realm, after a little over fifty years of travel, you still haven''t reached the Endless Sea Domain.] [But fortunately, being farther away from Qingyun Sect, you feel safer. With such a distance, you think that even a Daluo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to search for you, right?] Chapter 938 - 336: The Simulator Shows Its Power? What Level of Treasure Is This! _2 In the real world, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows. "Rumor has it that the Endless Sea Domain separates the Qingyun Realm and the Heavenly Secrets Domain... its vastness knows no bounds!" "And the Qingyun Realm lies right at the center of the Qingyun Realm... far from the Endless Sea Domain! It is said that even a Peak Cultivator in the True Immortal Realm, traveling day and night at full speed, would need a thousand years to cross the entire Qingyun Realm!" Su Xing realized he had underestimated the vast distances within the Three Thousand Worlds, underestimated the immense expanse of the Qingyun Realm. "Could it be precisely because the different realms are so distant from each other... that cultivators can''t support each other in time, thus allowing the Foreign Race to divide and conquer?" Su Xing thought to himself. He believed that the invasion by the Foreign Race, the lack of timely support from other worlds, might involve some notion of ''the emperor, far away.'' But little did he know, the goal of the Foreign Race was not some specific world but all of the Three Thousand Worlds, the entire Cultivation World! "Qingyun Realm, positioned right at the central area of the Qingyun Realm, therefore, it should be half the diameter of the Qingyun Realm away from the Endless Sea..." Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing slightly speculated. An ordinary cultivator in the True Immortal Realm could travel over five million miles a day... Though Su Xing''s escape speed was several times faster than that of a True Immortal Realm cultivator, even with the aid of Void Nodes, he estimated it would still take him about two hundred years to reach the edge of the Endless Sea Domain! "It seems... to reach the edge of the Endless Sea Domain, to explore the other Three Thousand Worlds... with my current cultivation level, it''s not yet possible, is it?" Su Xing''s eyebrows slightly furrowed, then relaxed again. If it''s temporarily impossible, then so be it. There will be opportunities later. The urgent task is to connect Blue Star and the Three Thousand Worlds... "I wonder how long it will be before Qing Yunzi finds me? Before then... I should plant more Gathering Spirit Flowers!" Su Xing murmured as his gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. [After knowing the vastness of the Endless Sea Domain, you continue to travel amongst the various minor worlds as usual, understanding the local customs of the Cultivation World.] [Meanwhile, slowly approach the direction of the Endless Sea Domain...] [In the blink of an eye, another twenty years had passed.] [With the assistance of the Luo Tian Mirror, and your daily commitment to planting Gathering Spirit Flowers, the total number of your Gathering Spirit Flowers reached an astonishing four hundred fifty thousand...] [In the four hundred twentieth year, one day, your fortune-telling Talent issued a warning.] [With your current strength, not many in the Three Thousand Worlds could threaten you, and this time you were not on the hit list of the Descending Sect.] [Thus, you knew it was Qing Yunzi who had discovered your whereabouts...] [As expected, a few days later, Qing Yunzi found you.] [You died...] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing looked at the text in front of him and murmured, "This simulation... it lasted for four hundred twenty years, didn''t it? Not too bad..." Four hundred twenty years in the simulation was enough for Su Xing to accomplish many things. The only pity was that Qing Yunzi would still come to trouble him... "Afterward, I should look within the Luo Tian Sect to see if there''s any way to deal with Qing Yunzi!" "If not... I''ll have to seek help from that person!" Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow, really not wanting to meet that person unless absolutely necessary... "But for now, I''d better choose the rewards from this simulation!" Excitement gleamed in Su Xing''s eyes as he eagerly looked at the reward list. [Swift Man: Golden Talent, priced at 10 Origin Energy points.] [Grand Witch Body Refining Method Minor Achievement in the Third Layer: A body refinement technique passed down from the Ancient Witch Tribe, already cultivated to the Middle Stage of the Third Layer, possessing physical strength comparable to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, capable of deploying the Divine Skills of Earth and Heavenly Thunder. Priced at 300,000 Origin Energy points.] [True Immortal Realm Third Layer Cultivation: Passing through the Three Calamities of an Immortal, achieving True Immortal status, the Great Dao is within reach, and lifespan as long as a Meeting of One Yuan! Priced at 600,000 Origin Energy points!] [Gathering Spirit Flowers, 450,000 stalks: priced at 45,000 Origin Energy points.] "Gathering Spirit Flowers are necessary to bring out... for later transactions in the Little Qingyun Realm!" "That leaves the body refinement technique cultivation results of the Grand Witch and the Three Layers of True Immortal Realm as remaining options!" Su Xing pondered for a moment; his current Origin Energy points were not sufficient. Six hundred thousand Origin Energy points were almost half of his entire fortune, too risky to spend all at once. Moreover, in the True Immortal Realm, an increase of one or two layers in cultivation level no longer significantly enhanced Su Xing''s strength. Instead, it was the Body Refinement Cultivation that Su Xing would need to enhance sooner or later... Thinking this, Su Xing silently said, "I choose to bring out the Grand Witch Body Refining Method Minor Achievement in the Third Layer... and 450,000 stalks of Gathering Spirit Flowers!" [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Grand Witch Body Refining Method Minor Achievement in the Third Layer, spending 300,000 Origin Energy points, remaining Origin Energy points are 945,931...] [Congratulations on successfully bringing out 450,000 stalks of Gathering Spirit Flowers... spending 45,000 Origin Energy points, remaining Origin Energy points are 900,931...] As the notification sound ended, a mysterious energy surged into Su Xing''s body. Immediately after, Su Xing''s physical strength began to drastically increase! Originally, Su Xing''s Body Refinement Cultivation had merely reached the initial stage of the Third Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision... Although he had withstood the ordeal of wind disaster, Su Xing''s physical body had already been comparable to a Heavenly Immortal Realm late-stage cultivator. But the progress in the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision was still not to be underestimated! Merely at the Minor Achievement of the Third Layer... Su Xing''s physical body was already comparable to a Peak Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator! Su Xing''s eyes tightly closed as he carefully sensed the changes in his body. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath, saying, "My physical cultivation... must catch up quickly! Otherwise, a frail body... among high realm cultivators, it''s a fatal flaw!" Chapter 939 - 336: The Simulator Shows Its Power? What Level of Treasure Is This!_3 Su Xing estimated that, before reaching the Little Qingyun Realm, he should urgently advance his Grand Witch Body Refining Technique to the Fourth Layer! At that time, with a Physical Body in the True Immortal Realm plus the Qi Refining Cultivation of the True Immortal Realm Su Xing''s combat capability would further increase! "But over 450,000 Gathering Spirit Flowers were also brought out?" Su Xing''s hand did not possess an additional Storage Ring. However, when Su Xing looked around, his eyes suddenly widened. Within the Spirit Field Cave spanning a thousand zhang, hills and fields were planted with white flowers that continuously emitted Spiritual Energy. Su Xing could even feel that the rank of this Spirit Field Cave was rapidly evolving! In fact, in less than a month, this Spirit Field Cave would completely ascend to a top-tier level! "Tsk tsk, not only did you bring out the Gathering Spirit Flowers, but you even thoughtfully planted them?" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. These Gathering Spirit Flowers would be the guarantee for earning his first pot of gold after heading to the Little Qingyun Realm! "So, next it''s time to prepare to head to the Little Qingyun Realm" "But before that, there are still a few matters to attend to!" Su Xing glanced at the time. It was February 3rd, still five days away from his monthly appointment on the 8th with Luo Shuying. During these days, Su Xing had even more important things to do! First and foremost, to avoid unforeseen complications, Su Xing decided to head to the Luo Tian Instance first to claim the Luo Tian Mirror... Thinking thus, Su Xing''s figure flashed, vanishing instantly from within the Spirit Field Cave. Immediately afterward, Su Xing took several steps, covering hundreds of miles, and arrived at the entrance to the Luotian Meeting Instance. At the instance entrance, there were Profession Users in line, along with official personnel specifically responsible for supervising the instance. After disguising himself and concealing his aura, Su Xing directly approached the closest position to the entrance. "My friend to enter this instance, you need to make an appointment in advance! And because of the instance''s uniqueness each person can only enter once a year!" Before the instance manager had finished speaking, Su Xing flicked his sleeves slightly, performed a Spell, and smoothly entered the Luo Tian Sect Instance. "Tsk tsk, what a joke, waiting a year? Sometimes rules need to be appropriately broken!" "From now on, the Luo Tian Instance should completely disappear from Blue Star!" Su Xing thought to himself in his heart, then his figure shifted, appearing inside the Luo Tian Instance The familiar scene before him, Su Xing had already experienced it hundreds of times. But in the real world, this was Su Xing''s first visit. "Perhaps... this should be the last time I walk this mission process?" Su Xing felt slightly emotional in his heart. The Luo Tian Instance had been discovered by him when he was still a Low Rank Cultivator, and he began to explore it. Up till now, having become a True Immortal Realm Cultivator, he finally truly uncovered its secrets! While Su Xing was lost in thought, a familiar voice reached his ears. "Xiaochuan, go to the back mountain to invite your Shennong junior brother over" After listening, Su Xing nodded slightly and skillfully headed to the back mountain, walking this mission path he had taken hundreds of times. After bringing Shennong Youtian to the grand hall, Su Xing did not choose to immediately go to the Luotian Meeting venue to end this instance. Instead, he first visited the Scripture Pavilion. There, Su Xing owed a promise; if not fulfilled, he might never have another chance. Upon arriving inside the Scripture Pavilion, Su Xing began browsing through the Jade Slips and ancient books in a compliant manner. Soon, a hoarse voice came from behind. "Young man... are you looking for something?" Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When Su Xing heard this, he turned around and, sure enough, Ghost Grandma was standing behind him. After a moment of silence, Su Xing bowed and said: "The younger generation is entrusted to come here, specifically looking for you!" Ghost Grandma, hearing this, showed a puzzled look. Then Su Xing used his Mana and materialized with his immortal power the contents he heard from the Jade Slip at the Spiritual Ancestral Land. When the last sentence "Bing''er still wants to hear you hum a lullaby" ended, Ghost Grandma''s face was covered in tears. Seeing Ghost Grandma so sorrowful, Su Xing didn''t know how to comfort her. He could imagine, after hundreds of thousands of years, Ghost Grandma learning about her beloved disciple''s whereabouts, but inevitably experiencing the grief of the old sending off the young. The loved disciple she raised from childhood had died; the once flourishing Luo Tian Sect had declined, and even Ghost Grandma herself had become a "living dead," forever existing within the Luo Tian Mirror. After a moment of silence, Su Xing said: "Sister Bing''er, although she did not complete the mission she allowed the Luo Clan to proliferate to this day. Although she was unable to cultivate Spiritual Energy, she also became a spiritual cultivator, specializing in the Divine Soul she did not disappoint your teachings from back then!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Ghost Grandma''s heart was even more sorrowful. Tears gradually flowed down, and after a moment, Ghost Grandma hoarsely said: "Good child you have fulfilled my wishes for many years" "Now in this condition, I can''t help you with much Only these insights into the Dao of Puppets are passable" Saying so, Ghost Grandma pointed a finger at Su Xing''s forehead, and numerous memories flooded into Su Xing''s mind. Even, for a time, Su Xing''s Heavenly Human Realm Divine Sense found it a bit difficult to bear... These memories were Ghost Grandma''s lifelong experiences and insights about the Dao of Puppets! Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire Within merely a breath''s time, Su Xing felt his understanding of the Dao of Puppets rapidly increase. Without any obstacles, from a Puppet Grandmaster, he leapt to become a Great Grandmaster of the Dao of Puppets! Just like a great cultivator who had immersed himself in the Dao of Puppets for hundreds of thousands of years... Clearly, such a method of imparting knowledge wasn''t without its price!

What Level of Treasure Is This!_4 Meanwhile, Ghost Grandma''s figure gradually became illusory... and ultimately, it slowly faded away within the Scripture Pavilion... At this moment, Su Xing finally learned of Ghost Grandma''s identity! Tens of thousands of years ago, she was a Golden Immortal Cultivator who dominated the Luo Tian Realm and even the entire Three Thousand Worlds! A direct second-generation disciple of the Luo Tian Sect... a mighty and renowned figure throughout the Three Thousand Worlds! Moreover, with the Dao of Puppets, Ghost Grandma could even contend with Taiyi Golden Immortals in a short period of time! In the entire Three Thousand Worlds, when it came to mastery over the Dao of Puppets... Ghost Grandma was acclaimed as one of the top three! "So, this is your final choice, then?" Su Xing sighed deeply, as Ghost Grandma had ultimately passed on her life''s insights to him, causing her already weak Divine Soul to become even more withered... Even so, Su Xing was not sure whether he would be able to revive Ghost Grandma one day in the future. "Alas, reflecting on these past few years... I''ve entered this Luo Tian Instance hundreds of times, and I''ve interacted with Ghost Grandma the most..." "And Ghost Grandma has been the greatest help to me!" Thinking this, Su Xing took a deep breath, his eyes carrying a touch of determination. "Rest assured, the Luo Tian Legacy... will surely have its day in this world!" Su Xing glanced at the empty Scripture Pavilion... then stepped out and arrived outside the grand meeting grounds of the Luo Tian Sect... Having just reached the grounds of the grand meeting, Su Xing saw Luo Qingniu waiting for him for quite some time. Luo Qingniu looked deeply at Su Xing and said, "You''ve finally appeared... Fortunately, it''s not too late!" "I ask you, are you willing to become a disciple of our Luo Tian Sect... to carry on the great work of restoring our Sect!?" Su Xing glanced at Luo Qingniu and nodded slightly, "I am willing!" "There are many benefits to becoming the Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect..." Luo Qingniu was about to brainwash Su Xing, but seeing how promptly Su Xing agreed, he was almost flabbergasted! After a silence, Luo Qingniu pointed at the Luo Tian Mirror hovering above the grounds and said, "That mirror, is our Luo Tian Sect''s Supreme Treasure... the Luo Tian Mirror!" Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire "As long as you can gain its recognition..." Before Luo Qingniu could finish, Su Xing took a step forward, arriving under the Luo Tian Mirror, and then began to infuse it with Mana. "So, this is the Luo Tian Mirror... Indeed remarkable!" A thought crossed Su Xing''s mind as he continuously poured his Five Elements Mana into it. Initially, Su Xing could ensure that it was he who was actively transferring Mana... sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But the further he went, the less control he had, to the point where he couldn''t stop the influx of Mana! The Luo Tian Mirror kept absorbing Su Xing''s Mana and, after taking in a full eighty percent, it finally slowed down. "Tsk, tsk, if this young lord''s foundation wasn''t deep... I would probably be in danger of falling in Realm!" Su Xing estimated that providing energy to the Luo Tian Mirror could only be undertaken somewhat comfortably by ordinary Golden Immortals. If an early-stage True Immortal Cultivator''s Mana was absorbed in one go, there was more than a ninety percent chance they would fall to the Heavenly Immortal Realm... It was only because Su Xing had been through seven or eight hundred years of storm tribulation, with a solid foundation and the blessings of a Spirit Dragon, that he could barely withstand it. "Tsk, tsk... It seems that even if I have obtained the Luo Tian Mirror, I should not use it lightly for some time!" Su Xing sensed the weakness within his body, but fortunately, if it was just to maintain the Luo Tian Mirror without breaking, he needed to inject Mana once every three months. With Su Xing''s foundation, it was absolutely bearable... But if he wanted to use the Luo Tian Mirror, the cost would be much greater! "In the real world, before reaching the Profound Immortal Realm... I should avoid using the Luo Tian Mirror as much as possible!" Su Xing thought to himself. The next second, the ancient-looking small mirror above burst out with an unprecedented brilliance, enveloping Su Xing into a mysterious space. ... "Owner recognition inspection in progress..." "Physical Body Age, under a hundred years; Divine Soul Age, under three thousand years... Cultivation Level, First Layer of the True Immortal Realm!" ``` ... Familiar with the detection process, Su Xing experienced it once again. He waited quietly, knowing the final voice would come: "First-time recognition comprehensive evaluation... Superior!" "Unique supreme authority can be granted to the target!" When this voice fell, Su Xing''s heart tightened because, according to the simulation, a flash of light would pass by next... And after that, Su Xing would fall into unconsciousness. Sure enough, the next second, a ray of light shone on Su Xing. That ancient mirror seemed to want to enter deep into Su Xing''s sea of consciousness... Just as Su Xing was preparing to faint... an anomaly occurred! The mysterious and indescribable ancient mirror, once inside the depths of Su Xing''s sea of consciousness, actually began to tremble slightly! This trembling... seemed like fear! "Huh? What did this Luo Tian Mirror see?" Su Xing slightly frowned, and after introspecting his Divine Soul, he saw that there was clearly nothing in his sea of consciousness! Yet, the Luo Tian Mirror that should have stood at the very center of the sea of consciousness was behaving as if it had encountered some "big shot," graciously making way and hiding in a more remote corner of the sea of consciousness. Su Xing could even feel an emotion from the Luo Tian Mirror that was "almost pleasing"! "Strange... what exactly did the Luo Tian Mirror see? Why didn''t I faint this time!?" Su Xing''s eyes widened, the scene before him was completely different from his simulation! "So, what''s the difference between this time and the simulation?" Su Xing''s brows furrowed tightly, recalling each step he took. Although not exactly identical, most of the steps were correct... "Could it be Ghost Grandma?" "No, that''s not right! Such a Supreme Treasure as the Luo Tian Mirror certainly possesses a very high status! And Ghost Grandma, even in her lifetime, was merely a Golden Immortal Realm cultivator!" Su Xing recalled the steps of this simulation, but still found no errors... "So... the problem isn''t the steps of what I did!" "It''s that there''s a difference between me now and me in the simulation!" Su Xing murmured, "But if you say, the biggest difference between me in reality... and me in the simulation, then it is!" "The Simulator!" Su Xing''s mind shook! In the simulation, he didn''t have the Simulator, this cheat! Otherwise, with the unrestricted nesting simulation, Su Xing would have been invincible long ago! Therefore, in the simulation, the growth of Su Xing''s strength was steady... But in the real world, the growth of Su Xing''s strength was inconceivable, defying logic! "So... the only explanation! Is that the Luo Tian Mirror discovered my Simulator!?" Su Xing pondered with a frown. He had been more than 90 percent confident before that the Simulator he possessed was a terrifyingly precious artifact! After all, the ability to traverse reality and virtuality, to master the present and the future... was terrifying indeed! But Su Xing had no evidence... Now at last, Su Xing had direct evidence That was the reaction of the Luo Tian Mirror to him! "So... is the Simulator even a treasure that exceeds the level of Chaotic Supreme Treasures!?" Su Xing''s eyes went wide, his heart filled with even more confusion. "Why would such a high-level treasure appear on me?" ``` Chapter 941 - 337: Golden Talent Vast Fortune, Red Moon Su Xing Awakened! Was the binding of the simulator to Su Xing really just a coincidence? The more Su Xing understood the Path of Cause and Effect Destiny, the less he believed in coincidences. Su Xing now felt that in the Three Thousand Worlds, the development of various events... seemed to be predestined! But the question was, if it wasn''t a coincidence, could it be that some powerful cultivator had gifted the simulator to Su Xing? Yet the simulator, that was an existence beyond the Chaotic Supreme Treasure! It was an existence even more powerful than the Luo Tian Mirror! "Let''s not mention anything else, this Luo Tian Mirror is coveted by countless Daluo Golden Immortals... perhaps even Saints!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "The Descending Sect, Qingyun Realm... even the major powers of the entire Three Thousand Worlds are secretly searching for this mirror!" "This further proves the preciousness of the Luo Tian Mirror... If a powerful cultivator obtained it, would they be willing to give it to someone else, let alone a simulator that is even more valuable!" Su Xing pondered continuously in his heart. Combining the current clues... it seemed that the only choice was coincidence! "Could it be, I am truly the Son of Destiny?" Su Xing stroked his chin, thinking thus. ... Due to the power of the simulator, Su Xing was spared the outcome of fainting. From entering the Luo Tian Instance to successfully retrieving the Luo Tian Mirror, it took just over an hour, faster than Su Xing had anticipated! "So, now that the Luo Tian Mirror is in hand... there are just a few more things to do!" Su Xing muttered to himself, the first thing he needed to do was to replay the Endless Abyss instance! From level twenty to over ninety in the Abyss, it could bring Su Xing over a hundred thousand Origin Energy Source... For Su Xing, who would need to stay in The Void in the future without energy replenishment, a hundred thousand Origin Energy Sources was already a significant amount... Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire Therefore, this could not be wasted! So, Su Xing spent the next three days sweeping through the Abyss, earning a hundred thousand Origin Energy Source! Time quickly moved to March 7, 2026, in the New Era! There was one day left until the day Su Xing had agreed with Luo Shuying! But before meeting Luo Shuying, Su Xing had one more thing to do. After sweeping through the Abyss, Su Xing did not leave America immediately, instead, he secretly met with a Puppet organization infiltrating and trading at the American commerce association! America was, among the other six nations, the one Su Xing was most concerned with. After all, before Su Xing took action, the overall strength of American Profession Users wasn''t much weaker than that of Great Xia Country, which could bring many resources to Su Xing. Therefore, Su Xing had planted over twenty Puppets in America, even sending Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei to oversee them. Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei, though currently only at the Nascent Soul Realm, being a Puppet Cultivator, had huge potential, far incomparable to other puppets. Even, one day in the future... it wasn''t impossible for Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei to advance to the Immortal Realm! ... An hour later, Su Xing waited quietly inside a villa in a suburban area of America. After a moment, several figures appeared within the villa. Upon seeing Su Xing, these figures kneeled down together, respectfully saying: "Master!" Su Xing slightly opened his eyes and hummed softly, asking: "All the materials collected during this time... hand them all over!" "Yes, master!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei hurried forward, presenting several storage rings. Su Xing converted the resources inside the storage rings into Simulated Energy. In nearly a month''s time, this batch of resources brought Su Xing close to two hundred thousand Origin Energy Sources. Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, it was best to accumulate more before heading to the Three Thousand Worlds... Su Xing glanced at Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei, then said: "Next, I have a secret mission to assign to you... follow me to a place!" Saying so, Su Xing waved his hand and sent Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei into the Spirit Field Cave, gave a few instructions to the other few puppets, and then left America. Yes, Su Xing''s plan was, to let Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei, stay in Little Qingyun Realm, to do some things for Su Xing! The reason for choosing Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei was naturally not without cause! As her Cultivation Realm was becoming higher, she had started to develop consciousness, possessing the ability to think like normal cultivators. And going to Little Qingyun Realm, Su Xing needed to build a bridge linking Blue Star and the Three Thousand Worlds! Su Xing intended to use this bridge to complement the advantages of Blue Star and the Three Thousand Worlds, earning more energy... On one hand, to enhance his own strength, and on the other hand, also to improve the overall strength of Blue Star! And Su Xing, was destined not to stay in Little Qingyun Realm for too long. After Su Xing left, there needed to be a trustworthy person to help her continue affairs in Little Qingyun Realm. And there weren''t many candidates for this person. Jin Congxue was undoubtedly trustworthy, but the Tarot Commerce Association in Great Xia Country still needed people in position, so Jin Congxue couldn''t leave. And Luo Shuying had to stay temporarily in the Descending Sect, or else she would be exposed... Therefore, the best candidate was Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei! Firstly, as a Puppet Cultivator marked with a Divine Soul Mark by Su Xing, Xiaomei was completely trustworthy. Secondly, though Puppet Cultivators were rare, in the Three Thousand Worlds, they wouldn''t attract too much attention, suitable for doing some things. "The only problem is, Xiaomei''s cultivation level is still too low..." Su Xing pondered for a while, with his current strength, he was indeed able to rapidly enhance the cultivation level of a Puppet Cultivator... Although it would damage her potential to a certain extent, there was no other way! "Now that the matters in America have been settled, next it''s time to go to the other five nations and the Twelve Domains to collect resources..." Chapter 942 - 337 Golden Talent and Vast Fortune, Red Moon Su Xing Awakens! _2 Su Xing used space magic and transformed into a streak of gold light, stepping once to traverse a thousand li. He spent only half a day to travel through the remaining five countries and the Twelve Domains! After collecting all the Origin Energy Source accrued by the Puppet organizations, Su Xing''s Origin Energy Source again surged by more than six hundred thousand! Thus, Su Xing''s Origin Energy Source reached a total of over one million six hundred thousand points! On February 8, 2026 of the New Era, Su Xing returned to Great Xia Country, looked at the Origin Energy Source on the Simulation Panel, and nodded, saying, "These Origin Energy Sources should be enough for now, right?" "Next... it''s time to take care of the matters concerning Luo Shuying!" Su Xing thought to himself, took a few steps, and appeared at the place he had agreed to meet with Luo Shuying. At that moment, under a tree in that big mountain, a charming figure was idly counting flower petals. With each count, a petal drifted down. "He will come... he won''t come... he will come!" Seeing the result shown by the petals in her hand, Luo Shuying''s face revealed a look of surprise. From a hidden spot, Su Xing silently observed Luo Shuying''s expressions. Whenever the result was "He will come," excitement would light up Luo Shuying''s face. And when the result was "He won''t come," Luo Shuying would choose... to start over! "During the days I''m not here... has she been waiting like this every day?" Su Xing sighed, feeling somewhat guilty. Although Su Xing and Luo Shuying had agreed to meet every eighth day of the month, Su Xing seldom had time to come, visiting only two or three times. Whereas Luo Shuying, from the seventh of each month, would come to this place and wait all day long until the afternoon of the ninth before returning to the Descending Sect! Whenever Su Xing did not meet the appointment on time, although Luo Shuying felt slightly disappointed, she would always comfort herself by thinking, "The senior is busy, handling important matters! When he has time, he will definitely come!" Even though Luo Shuying appeared aloof when Su Xing did manage to meet the appointment, her heart would be leaping with joy. "Sigh, I have truly been neglecting her during this time..." Su Xing sighed again and then appeared before Luo Shuying. Seeing Su Xing suddenly appear, Luo Shuying flashed a look of joy and hastily said, "Senior! You''ve come!" "This is... the information I''ve collected about the Descending Sect during this time!" "Also... do you have any important tasks to assign this time?" Luo Shuying appeared very happy, even though she had been waiting in vain for several months, there was not a hint of complaint in her heart. After hearing Luo Shuying''s words, Su Xing slowly nodded, took the compiled intelligence from Luo Shuying, and after reviewing it carefully, he nodded slightly and said, "You have done quite well during this time!" "For the next period... you no longer need to come here..." Hearing Su Xing''s words, Luo Shuying''s heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Senior, why? Did I do something incorrectly?" Su Xing shook his head slightly and said, "No, you have done very well!" "But... if nothing unexpected happens, in a few months, I will take action and completely destroy the Descending Sect!" "And during this period, you need not appear here... just quietly wait in the Descending Sect, observing their every move!" "In a few months... I will naturally contact you!" After saying that, Su Xing stretched out a finger to Luo Shuying''s brow and left a Divine Soul Mark in her Divine Soul. With this, Su Xing could sense Luo Shuying''s situation in the future and could also transmit messages to her through this Divine Soul Mark. "In a few months... to destroy the Descending Sect?" Luo Shuying, hearing Su Xing''s words, widened her eyes, unsure of how to react! Since she began her cultivation, Luo Shuying''s greatest goal had been to prevent the Foreign Race and the Descending Sect''s erosion of the Human Race and Spirit Race! And she, knowing her limited strength and capability, could only silently dedicate herself... Yet she had not expected her grandiose goal to seem so easily within reach in Su Xing''s words! Thinking this, Luo Shuying''s admiration for Su Xing increased, and with a trembling voice, she asked, "Senior... have you really decided?" Su Xing nodded slightly, affirming, "The time is almost right, you will know when the time comes!" Currently, Su Xing''s strength had already earned a place in the Three Thousand Worlds! With the Cultivation Level of a True Immortal, he possessed combat power comparable to that of an ordinary Profound Immortal! Had it not been for Blue Star''s uniqueness, being part of the past battlefield of Luo Tian... with Su Xing''s power, he could have easily become a ruler of one of the Minor Thousand Worlds! Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire But Blue Star was different; although its Red Moon had not revived, it had once possessed Great Luo Cultivation Level, so Su Xing dared not underestimate it. "Eliminating the Blue Star Descending Sect... would at least be a matter after returning from the Little Qingyun Realm, about four or five months later?" "By then, my strength, might have nearly reached the Golden Immortal Realm?" "That level of power can completely destroy the Descending Sect! Even if Blood Three comes looking for me later... I can entirely defend myself!" Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing thought so. Following that, Su Xing and Luo Shuying chatted for a while, and he encouraged her a few more times. Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Xing bid farewell to Luo Shuying under her reluctant gaze. After arranging everything regarding Luo Shuying, Su Xing finally went to a villa and met with Jin Congxue. Jin Congxue seemed to know what Su Xing was planning to do next, hence she was a bit downcast. But ultimately, after a passionate kiss from Jin Congxue, Su Xing was activated and headed to the spatial coordinates of Blue Star. Blue Star, on a small island in a vast ocean, Su Xing arrived there, carefully observed for a moment, and confirmed: Chapter 943 - 337: Golden Talent Vast Fortune, Red Moon Su Xing Awakened!_3 "Indeed, this is the weak point in the prohibition set by the Red Moon... Next, as long as I shield the aura of this place, the Red Moon will no longer sense it!" Su Xing took a deep breath, and behind him, it seemed as though countless stars were in motion, with the profound force of fate and causality blessing this space. What Su Xing had to do was actually not difficult; he merely had to use the power of causality to forcibly sever the link between this node and Blue Star. Thus, the Red Moon would not sense the changes in this space... After cutting off causality, Su Xing then shielded the Heavenly Secrets of this island. The entire process took Su Xing approximately one hour... sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. An hour later, after perceiving the changes in the Void Nodes, Su Xing nodded slightly and said, "Very well, now I can proceed to the Three Thousand Worlds!" Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire Su Xing stretched out his hands, the Dao of Space power clinging to them, easily tearing open the spatial node. He then took out the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat. The one-inch Golden Light Boat transformed in an instant into a small boat three zhang long. Su Xing stepped onto the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, powered by immortal power... In a moment, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat turned into a streak of golden light and disappeared above Blue Star! He passed through the first Void Node effortlessly, and merely a few hours later, Su Xing appeared in the Void millions of miles away from Blue Star... ... "Is this the Void outside the world?" Inside the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Su Xing gazed through the window, admiring the endless Void. The Void was very similar to the universe from Su Xing''s previous life... only more brutal, more dangerous! "Void sailing... It''s tedious and tasteless!" Su Xing smacked his lips, looking at the unchanging scenery outside the window, navigated the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, cautiously passing through the spatial currents... In this way, two days quickly passed. On February 10 of the New Era year 2026, Su Xing discerned the safety of the paths in the Void, confirmed there was no danger, and activated the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat''s autopilot mode. "Wow... a new round of simulations can begin!" Su Xing didn''t hesitate, murmuring, "Begin simulation!" [Simulation No. 125 opening, currently remaining Origin Energy Source points 1,763,256... Remaining simulation times infinite.] [Simulation starting!] [Drawing the Golden Legendary Talent will cost 1 Origin Energy Source point, do you wish to draw?] "Confirm draw!" [Ding, congratulations on acquiring the Golden Talent Fortune... The next draw probability of Golden Talent is eighty percent!] [Fortune]: Golden Talent, you have luck that surpasses ordinary people, a one-in-a-billion Son of Destiny, even if an army of thousands chases after you, a meteor will fall from the sky to resolve your crisis. (Experience the power of a great Mage!) Inside the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Su Xing''s eyes widened in shock as he looked at the newly drawn Talent. "Holy shit, holy shit! Fortune Talent!" "This seems like an upgraded version of the previously held Auspicious Stars Talent!" Su Xing''s heart thumped wildly, the golden quality of a fate-based Talent, how terrifying must it be? "I must bring this Talent back!" Having experienced the benefits of a luck-based Talent, Su Xing decisively said. "However... The next simulations still require some planning!" Su Xing pondered for a while. "The Physical Training Talent needs further enhancement! Breaking through to the third layer and Great Achievement of the Grand Witch Body Refining Technique this time shouldn''t be difficult!" "Besides... In the Immersive Simulation, I need to strengthen my understanding of Cause and Effect and the Dao of Space... Right, there''s also the refining of the Wen Dao Pill!" After pausing, Su Xing finally said, "And... most importantly, after going to the Little Qingyun Realm next, I need to acquire new resources!" Su Xing prepared, locating resources in advance that were suitable for conversion into Simulated Energy, planning to make bulk purchases in order to obtain more Origin Energy Sources. "Listing resources suitable for transformation into energy... Low Rank equipment, Abyss Stones, Alien Metal!" "These items undoubtedly all share a characteristic: low cost, able to be obtained in large quantities!" "They can also be produced in bulk, extremely easy to obtain!" To have resources suitable for conversion into energy, Su Xing knew he must satisfy both criteria! "Within the simulation, I''m unaware of the true energy value of any given item, so I can only choose a variety of resources to compare!" "Selecting resources beforehand will save time upon reaching the Little Qingyun Realm in the future, allowing for faster acquisition of Origin Energy Sources!" With this in mind, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [Inside the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, you realize you are in a simulation!] [You are quite lucky; you did not encounter spatial turbulence along the way, and you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to arrive at the Little Qingyun Realm smoothly in just twenty days!] [The first thing you did after arriving at the Little Qingyun Realm was to sell information related to the Red-eyed Foreign Race and the Red Moon!] [Learning that the Red Moon was not yet dead, the girl from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was very surprised!] [She asks if you know the Red Moon''s current whereabouts...] In the real world, Su Xing picked up his eyebrows at this. "Should I directly inform the Heavenly Secret Pavilion of the Red Moon''s location?" Su Xing thought deeply; although he could previously provide information about the Red Moon, he didn''t know the way back to Blue Star. Now that he could return to Blue Star on his own, this meant that Su Xing could definitely find the Red Moon! If... Su Xing told the major powers, and a Taiyi Golden Immortal was asked to take action, could the Red Moon be slain? "Although the Red Moon once had the strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal... it has fallen after all, and its strength is probably at most within the Golden Immortal Realm now, right?" Thinking of this, Su Xing''s eyes brightened. "Yes! If I could directly kill the Red Moon and solve the crisis for the entire Blue Star... wouldn''t that be great?" Chapter 944 - 337: Golden Talent Vast Fortune, Red Moon Su Xing Awakened!_4 Su Xing pondered carefully, although there were risks, it was worth a try in the simulation! "Risks, naturally, if it fails... all the Profession Users on Blue Star will probably perish, right?" "But if it succeeds, many detours will undoubtedly be avoided, it''s worth a try!" Su Xing had already made up his mind, his gaze returned to the simulation panel. [After careful consideration, you decided to inform the Heavenly Secret Pavilion of the location of the Red Moon!] [The Heavenly Secret Pavilion recognized the importance of the matter and immediately ordered people to investigate, while preparing to summon experts above the Golden Immortal Realm to stop the resurrection of the Red Moon!] [However, summoning such experts undoubtedly requires some time.] [Then, you would safely stay in the Little Qingyun Realm, looking for materials suitable for exchanging energy...] [You visited various shops in White Emperor City, looking for some inexpensive metal minerals.] [Based on your experience, minerals often contain more Origin Energy...] [And your selection criteria were that these minerals were inexpensive and could be purchased in bulk!] [Over the next year, you traveled back and forth between the shops and associations of White Emperor City, purchasing hundreds of types of Cultivation World''s unique alien metal minerals, and figured out the price and production of each type...] [The second year, after repeated comparisons, you finally chose over ten types of minerals for reference.] [Among them, iron essence, fire copper, and spirit iron, which are low-rank minerals, were relatively cheap, often a single Low-grade Spirit Stone could purchase several, and the production was exceptionally good!] [You silently noted down the prices and production of these metal minerals for future reference.] [Thus, five years passed in the blink of an eye...] [In the seventh year, you had collected hundreds of types of minerals suitable for large-scale purchasing, and which were cheap, you recorded each of them.] [Due to limited time, the minerals you chose existed only in the Little Qingyun Realm As for mineral resources from more distant worlds, you could not obtain them for the time being.] [Thus, several more months passed.] [One day, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion contacted you!] [The Heavenly Secret Pavilion told you that they had indeed found a hidden Minor Thousand World within The Void!] [And the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had even called upon a Taiyi Golden Immortal and three Golden Immortals, who were heading to Blue Star, determined to eliminate the obstacles on Blue Star!] In the real world, Su Xing''s eyes brightened. "Not bad, the minerals from the Little Qingyun Realm are definitely a good direction, after the simulation ends, we''ll see how valuable these items are!" Although Su Xing had not reached the Little Qingyun Realm, he had a way to know the value of these items! Because after the simulation ended, all items obtained by Su Xing would be in the reward options. By dividing the energy of these items by ten, that would be the price Su Xing could exchange for energy! "Hundreds of minerals... there are bound to be some suitable for exchange!" Su Xing was not worried about this, what he was worried about was the future direction of Blue Star! "So the Taiyi Golden Immortals have taken action... it seems the Heavenly Secret Pavilion''s concern for the Red Moon exceeds my imagination!" "I wonder, will the crisis surrounding the Red Moon ultimately be completely eliminated?" Su Xing was somewhat hopeful, his eyes turned towards the simulation panel. [Three Golden Immortals and one Taiyi Golden Immortal set out, preparing to head to Blue Star.] [And you choose to lead them, on one hand, you could quickly locate the Red Moon, and at the same time, know the outcome of this matter promptly.] [After more than half a month of cruising through The Void, you arrived near the region of Blue Star...] [That Taiyi Golden Immortal, obviously also had outstanding mastery in the Dao of Space.] [He carefully inspected The Void for a moment and then, with a look of surprise, said: it turns out there was a Prohibition set up, no wonder it hadn''t been discovered!] [After speaking, he tore open the Prohibition with his bare hands and entered into Blue Star...] [You, witnessing this, your heart trembled, such a huge disturbance was bound to catch the attention of the Red Moon!] [The other three Golden Immortals also entered Blue Star, and you followed closely, deeply fearing an accident.] [Upon arriving on Blue Star, these four Immortals all showed peculiar expressions, with their Cultivation Levels, they easily noticed that this world was once part of the Cultivation World, but it had declined...] [That Taiyi Golden Immortal asked you about the location of the Red Moon.] [After hearing this, you hesitated slightly, given their brazen methods, an accident might occur...] [However, at that moment, things changed suddenly!] [Within your perception, an immensely ancient consciousness, filled with the aura of Slaughter, swept through the entire Blue Star!] Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Like a lion or tiger awakening from a deep sleep, it was terrifying...] [Immediately after, the originally cloudless blue sky gradually turned red, a pair of crimson eyes appeared in the sky above Blue Star!] [The Red Moon... had awakened!] Chapter 945 - 338: Failure to Save Blue Star, the Battle that Destroyed the World! In the real world, Su Xing''s brows furrowed deeply. "Indeed, making such a grand entrance into Blue Star... these Cultivators have still been sensed by the Red Moon!" Although the Red Moon had not yet revived, it was only a few decades away from revival, and its power had likely recovered significantly. Its perceptiveness could not be ignored! Even Su Xing, who had risen in power to become an Immortal, had not taken action on Blue Star, constantly shielding his own Heavenly Secrets to prevent being discovered by the Red Moon! But now, these three Golden Immortals and one Taiyi Golden Immortal, clearly arrogant, believed that the yet-to-be-revived Red Moon was far from their match! "But to go so blatantly will certainly draw the attention of the Red Moon!" "The aftermath, even if the Red Moon is slain, will likely trigger a storm of bloodshed!" Su Xing''s brows remained tightly knit; Blue Star was, after all, his homeland, where his relatives and friends resided. If foreign Cultivators battled the Red Moon with such terrifying might, it would inevitably bring a catastrophic disaster to Blue Star! Su Xing''s original plan was for the three Golden Immortals to cooperate with the Taiyi Golden Immortal to strike quickly and decapitate the Red Moon. Only in this way could the damage be minimized! "But now, it seems the Golden Immortals in the simulation don''t regard civilian lives at all!" Su Xing felt somewhat helpless; he had surely tried to persuade the Immortals in the simulation, but as merely a True Immortal, his words carried little weight, not even registering in the eyes of the Taiyi Golden Immortal... "Even if we defeat the Red Moon, the entire Blue Star would still suffer, wouldn''t it?" Su Xing began to regret his decision, calling the Cultivators of the Three Thousand Worlds to resolve the crisis of the Red Moon was nothing short of swapping a tiger for a wolf... even letting the wolf into the house! The best solution was undoubtedly for Su Xing himself to take action... to resolve the Red Moon with the least cost! "Ah well... let''s see how things go next!" Su Xing decided to observe first, his gaze turning towards the simulation panel. [The moment the earth turned blood red, every creature on Blue Star felt their hearts tremble...] [This was an absolute suppression of status! Not to mention the Profession Users and ordinary people, even you would feel uneasy under this oppression.] [Feeling this pressure, the faces of the other three Golden Immortals slightly changed, even that Taiyi Golden Immortal looked solemn.] [Although the Red Moon had not yet revived, this oppression was genuinely at the Main God Level, equivalent to the pressure of a Great Luo Golden Immortal realm powerhouse!] [The three Golden Immortals then turned their gaze toward the Taiyi Golden Immortal.] [The Taiyi Golden Immortal gritted his teeth and decided to strike quickly, confronting the Red Moon head-on!] [And you became their guide...] [At this moment, on Blue Star, including the streets and alleys of Great Xia Country, there were wandering, lost Profession Users.] [Their eyes were blood red, as if they had lost their minds, wandering aimlessly through the streets...] [Seeing this scene, you were alarmed and, putting aside the plan to behead the Red Moon, you used your spatial Art and Technique to search for your relatives and friends.] [Fortunately, including Jin Congxue, Luo Shuying, Yu Yan, and others, they all had your Divine Soul Mark left on them, which gave them some resistance to the Red Moon''s schemes, so they had not lost their minds.] [You managed to rescue your parents, your sister, and your familiar friends into the Spirit Field Cave.] [But there were too many uncontrollable Profession Users; you couldn''t save everyone... Meanwhile, the several Golden Immortal realm powerhouses were urging you to quickly find the location of the Red Moon.] [With no choice left, you had to lead the three Golden Immortals and the Taiyi Golden Immortal toward the Slaughter Battlefield!] [Undoubtedly, you all witnessed that crimson moon...] [On the Slaughter Battlefield, countless Foreign Races began to riot... furiously launching an attack toward Demon-Subduing Pass.] [Everyone noticed the anomaly of that Red Moon; the crimson, blood-like moonlight seemed able to devour everything.] [The three Golden Immortals, upon seeing the Red Moon, took the initiative to strike, each unleashing their Art and Technique and Divine Skills toward the Red Moon...] [And on the Slaughter Battlefield, high-rank Red-eyed Foreign Races began to gradually appear, Emperor Level and Saint Level Foreign Races started to emerge.] [You furiously fought on the battlefield, crushing those Emperor Level and Saint Level Foreign Races like ants.] [However, no matter how the three Golden Immortals struck, the Red Moon seemed unaffected...] [Even if the Red Moon was shattered, it would re-condense after a few hours!] [Thus, a day later, that Taiyi Golden Immortal finally confirmed that the Red Moon on the Slaughter Battlefield was merely a projection, not the true body of the Red Moon!] [He asked you whether you could guess where the true body of the Red Moon was hidden...] In the real world, Su Xing''s eyebrows furrowed deeply. "That Red Moon, was just a projection, not the real body?" "Then where is the real body of the Red Moon?" Su Xing quickly thought of a location, the Endless Abyss! That abyss located in the depths of America''s replica might be where the Red Moon''s true body was hidden! "How cunning of the Red Moon... the one on the Slaughter Battlefield was just a decoy?" Su Xing murmured, anyone''s first reaction would be to think that the Red Moon on the Slaughter Battlefield, constantly absorbing the aura of slaughter, was the true body.

But who would have thought that the Red Moon could be so deceitful, merely allowing a projection to absorb the power of slaughter while it itself lay hidden. "Then let''s make a trip to the Endless Abyss!" Su Xing took a deep breath; with three Golden Immortals and one Taiyi Golden Immortal taking action, this time they must slay the Red Moon! Chapter 946 - 338: The Failure to Save Blue Star, The Battle that Destroyed the World!_2 ``` [In just two days'' time, the Profession Users of Blue Star had lost nearly a third... over half of the Human Race died in the rioting and confusion among the Profession Users.] [At such a critical juncture, you naturally wouldn''t hesitate and decisively led them to the Endless Abyss...] [You cut a path through the challenges, and in just one hour, you arrived at the 100th floor of the Endless Abyss.] [Here, Red-eyed Foreign Race beings rivaling Immortals began to appear...] [But this still couldn''t halt your advance!] [Thus, one day passed, and you had already reached well beyond the 900th floor of the Endless Abyss!] [And the Red-eyed Foreign Race you encountered here were terrifying in strength, even possessing the power of the Profound Immortal Realm!] [Fortunately, these Red-eyed Foreign Races were few in number and were quickly dealt with by the three Golden Immortals...] [But that Taiyi Golden Immortal appeared solemn, for the strength of these Red-eyed Foreign Race was amiss!] [These several dozen Red-eyed Foreign Race, comparable to the Profound Immortal Realm, were actually weakened!] [If at their peak, they would even rival several dozen Golden Immortal Phase Immortals of the secondary Divine Residence of the Foreign Race!] [You guessed in your heart that these Red-eyed Foreign Race might be the lucky survivors of the great war with Luo Tian in bygone years... They did not fully die along with the Red Moon but secretly accumulated strength and resurrected.] [But these diminished Red-eyed Foreign Race were still far from being a match for you.] [At this moment, the Taiyi Golden Immortal did not dare to be careless; he did not take action but was secretly recuperating his strength.] [And under the fierce battle waged by you and the other three Golden Immortals, a day and a night later, you finally reached the lowest level of the Endless Abyss!] [When you pushed open that weighty stone door, you saw a familiar scene; within an ancient Formation, those crimson eyes appeared once again.] [After seeing this Formation, the Taiyi Golden Immortal sighed in relief, clearly... this place was where the Red Moon lay hidden!] [The Taiyi Golden Immortal performed Divination and then executed Arts and Techniques, and the Formation before him began to be gradually dismantled... Following that, the ground began trembling, as if some great terror was about to emerge!] [Feeling that Abyss-like aura, the three Golden Immortals'' expressions slightly changed, clearly such a level of combat was no longer one you could participate in...] [Thus, the Taiyi Golden Immortal instructed you to leave first and return to the surface of Blue Star.] [And you, also worried about the safety of the Human Race, hence made your way back, returning to Blue Star.] In the real world, Su Xing slightly frowned upon seeing this. "So, what kind of battle strength does the Red Moon now possess?" Su Xing slightly speculated. Based on his estimate, the Red Moon was decades away from resurrection, its power far from its prime, not even a tenth of it! "But even so... At this moment, the Red Moon might be no common Golden Immortal''s match!" "Should it be strength below a Taiyi Golden Immortal but above the Golden Immortal Realm? At worst... it might possess the battle prowess of the early Golden Immortal Phase, right?" Su Xing wondered, the Red Moon could likely unleash power rivaling the Golden Immortal Realm if it spared no expense! "Tsk tsk, after all, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse!" "But looking at the situation... that Taiyi Golden Immortal should have some confidence in dealing with the Red Moon!" Thus thought Su Xing, and what followed was crucial: what kind of losses would Blue Star suffer in this battle? Uneasy at heart, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [When you returned to Blue Star, the entire Blue Star had undergone earth-shattering changes!] [In just three to five days'' time, over two-thirds of the Human Race had died, especially within the Twelve Domains, where close to ninety percent of the Human Race perished from killing each other!] S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In your perception, all the dead Profession Users had turned into the force for Slaughter, becoming nourishment for the Red Moon...] [The sky grew ever redder, and even the land seemed to have changed into a bloody red color!] [Only Great Xia Country, thanks to the preparations you had made in advance, where the high-rank Profession Users had been gathered early on, hence did not suffer too great a loss...] [You couldn''t save everyone, and in this moment of crisis, you decided to save your own country first!] [You returned to Great Xia Country, led a part of the clear-headed Profession Users, constantly distributed Heart Cleansing Pills, executed Arts and Techniques, and stabilized these Profession Users'' emotions.] [At the same time, you placed hundreds of thousands of high-rank Profession Users into the Spirit Field Cave to prevent them from rioting further!] [Affected were almost exclusively the Profession Users, while ordinary people felt only fear in the face of the Red Moon...] [However, for Profession Users, slaughtering ordinary people was far too easy!] [In the following week, you stayed busy within Great Xia Country, saving as many civilians as possible.] [At the same time, you kept a close watch on the Endless Abyss...] [Accompanied by the battle between the Taiyi Golden Immortal and the Red Moon, the entire Endless Abyss became a battlefield.] [The thousand-layered Endless Abyss, so huge it could rival several planets, was continuously collapsing amidst this battle.] [Over a thousand levels of the Endless Abyss reduced to just dozens, the rest completely shattered!] [And as the Endless Abyss fell, countless terrifying members of the Foreign Race crawled out from the depths, coming to America...] [In an instant, the entirety of America became like the hell on earth!] [High-rank Profession Users were all lost, and those low-rank Profession Users and ordinary people, when facing the Foreign Race, were like ants without the slightest power to resist.] [Out of humanitarianism, Great Xia Country dispatched a team of lucid Profession Users to provide assistance, but it was like trying to stop a deluge with a cup of water...] [At first, only those Foreign Races below the level of the Heavenly King emerged, but in the end, even legendary, Great Emperor Level Foreign Races descended upon the territory of America...] ``` Chapter 947 - 338: The Failure to Save Blue Star, The Battle that Destroyed the World!_3 ``` [In just one month''s time, across the ocean, the entirety of America along with dozens of surrounding small countries, completely fell!] [And a month later, the Taiyi Golden Immortals continued their battle with the Red-eyed Foreign Race!] [Such a level of powerful figures clashing could lead to a battle lasting dozens of years, which is also highly possible!] [You know in your heart that what you must face next is not merely the Foreign Race from across the ocean, but also the insurrection within the Human Race, which cannot be underestimated!] [Thus, the entire Great Xia Military employed absolute measures to rapidly integrate all the Profession Users within Great Xia and rejected the entry of Profession Users from other regions.] [And you were in charge of extracting the cause and effect of the Red Moon for these Profession Users.] [And so, a year passed...] [In the eighth year of simulation, the internal stability of Great Xia Country was essentially established, but the price paid was indeed heavy!] [Nearly half the Profession Users died, and the remaining half were always in an unstable state...] [Over sixty percent of the civilians died in this disaster...] [But compared to other countries, the situation in Great Xia Country was already very good.] [Based on your calculations, this disaster reduced the population of the entire Blue Star by ninety percent in just a year or two!] [And within the remaining ten percent, over eighty percent are survivors from within the territories of Great Xia...] [This, of course, is because Great Xia had you at its helm.] [But the Foreign Race from across the ocean also began to gradually erode the whole Blue Star.] [Therefore, you chose to make your move at this time, ensuring Great Xia''s stability while going to other regions to exterminate the Foreign Race.] [Thus, another two years passed.] [By the tenth year, Blue Star had essentially stabilized, with the vast majority of the Foreign Race eradicated by you.] [Meanwhile, the Descending Sect colluded with the Foreign Race, causing considerable losses to the Human Race... during this period, you exterminated Damned Dragon!] [All who survived had a sense of fortuitous relief from having narrowly escaped the jaws of disaster.] [That battle from two or three years ago became everyone''s nightmare; those who lived thought the war was over...] [The price paid was the extinction of over ninety-three percent of the world''s population, three great landmasses completely fallen, covering over ninety percent of Blue Star''s oceans...] [But only you truly knew that the battle was far from over!] [Because what decided life and death was always the battle between that Taiyi Golden Immortal and the Red Moon!] [But you couldn''t participate in this battle... Occasionally when you rode your sword to the entrance of the Abyss to observe, you could sense the terrifying fluctuations of the battle within.] [The battlefront was at a stalemate, and before you knew it, another three years had gone by...] In the real world, Su Xing''s expression became a bit unnatural. "Alas, even if we can eradicate the Red Moon... isn''t the price paid too great?" "The lives on the entire Blue Star! The majority of the Human Race is almost completely extinct... this seems not much different from a total invasion by the Foreign Race..." Su Xing had long anticipated that a battle between top powers would inevitably destroy an entire Minor Thousand Worlds. But Su Xing had also hoped to behead them swiftly, minimizing the losses. Now, having seen the reality, it still seemed quite unrealistic... "Even with this, the battlefield is still in the Endless Abyss... If the battlefield were above Blue Star, I''m afraid the entire world would have already shattered, the Great Dao crumbling and the world turning to fragments!" "In the eyes of these several Golden Immortals, the Red Moon had to be eliminated, regardless of sacrificing a Minor Thousand Worlds or the cost of a billion lives... Even if a trillion lives were the price, they would probably still choose to do so!" Su Xing felt a sense of powerlessness; to those top-tier Cultivators, Blue Star was nothing more than just a battlefield. But for Su Xing, it meant something different... this was his home planet! S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Only hope, we can resolve the Red Moon soon! The time has been dragging on for too long... Could something unexpected happen?" Su Xing murmured. In his opinion, with a Taiyi stepping in and three Golden Immortals flanking, eradicating the Red Moon shouldn''t be a problem. Unless, some other force got involved... Thinking of this, Su Xing had a bad premonition. "Hopefully, we can deal with the Red Moon, right?" Su Xing''s brow furrowed tighter as he looked at the Simulation Panel. [In the thirteenth year of simulation, that battle continued, but you had to seek another refuge for the future of the Human Race.] [You began to build a sanctuary in the Spirit Field Cave and prepared to move all of the Human Race into it...] [The entire Spirit Field Cave was a circular plane with a radius of a thousand zhang, its area being about three hundred square kilometers.] [If the cost is not an issue, ignoring population density, perhaps it might be possible to fit the remaining half of Great Xia''s people inside.] ``` ``` [But this project was undoubtedly massive!] [Fortunately, you had prepared in advance... The entire population evacuation work lasted a full seven years!] [In the twentieth year, one day, a bad premonition rose in your heart, as if something big was about to happen...] [A month after that, a bedraggled Golden Immortal arrived in Great Xia Country.] [He was there to notify you, to leave Blue Star as soon as possible!] [Upon hearing this, you hastily inquired about the details, but he only said, the Descending Sect had taken action!] [You were puzzled after hearing this, the Descending Sect should have been eradicated by you... but you quickly realized, he was referring to the Descending Sect within the Three Thousand Worlds!] [The person who made the move might be Blood Three! Or it might be another cadre with Taiyi power.] [But regardless, Blue Star could not be left behind...] [Thus, you did all you could, taking away as many of the Human Race as possible, then steering the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, heading to the Little Qingyun Realm...] [In the blink of an eye, a month passed!] [After you arrived at the Little Qingyun Realm, you quickly moved the Human Race near to White Emperor City.] [And you prepared to return to Blue Star, to take away the remaining part of the Human Race...] [However, when you were piloting the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat outside of Blue Star, you witnessed that terrifying scene...] [A monstrous beast, several times larger than Blue Star, tore apart the entire Blue Star as easily as eating "cotton candy."] [This was the first time you saw this sky-obscuring behemoth outside Blue Star.] [Uncontainable rage surged within you, and you drew on all your strength to unleash a sword strike, with three thousand six hundred Body-Protecting Sword Aurasshooting out... This was a powerful blow capable of killing cultivators in the Profound Immortal Realm!] [However, this sword strike only left a minute cut on the beast''s body.] [The beast glared with eyes as large as planets, as if it noticed you...] [Its breath from its nostrils triggered a displacement of the surrounding planets in an instant.] [Then, It tore a rift in The Void and turned to enter the crack, disappearing from sight!] [The vast Blue Star, along with countless Minor Thousand Worlds around it, was all devoured!] [After failing to save Blue Star, you could only choose to leave swiftly, returning to the Little Qingyun Realm.] [In the twenty-third year, you learned the outcome of that battle from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!] [Two Golden Immortals, along with a Taiyi Golden Immortal, fell in battle, and the whereabouts of the Red Moon were unknown...] [After hearing this, you remained silent, paying such a steep price only for an uncertain outcome.] Su Xing looked at the cold text before him, feeling the myriad of sorrows and joys contained within. "Blue Star, in the end, couldn''t be saved..." "But fortunately, some of the Blue Star Human Race were saved..." Su Xing clenched his fists and muttered: "In the end, it''s all about strength!" "If I had the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal at this time, I wouldn''t need to fear that Red Moon..." "This operation''s failure might be due to my insufficient influence... but the complacency of those powerful cultivators was also fatal!" Su Xing shook his head slightly, thankfully it was only a simulation; although he failed to save Blue Star, Su Xing had still gained many valuable experiences and lessons. "Right now, there are more important matters! There must be no further incidents with Qing Yunzi!" "Taking advantage of the time I have... I still need to focus on cultivation!" Su Xing was just trying. If he could save Blue Star, it would be great, but if not, increasing his own strength was of the essence! Thinking thus, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [With your identity as a True Immortal, you were already capable of expanding your territory within the Little Qingyun Realm and becoming a local hegemon.] [Thus, at a certain cost, you spent millions of Spirit Stones to purchase a piece of land near White Emperor City and settled most of the Blue Star People there.] [In the twenty-fifth year, you found the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, informed them about Qingyunzi''s situation, and revealed your identity...] [In the thirtieth year, you met with Immortal Ziling and accompanied her to the Qingyun Sect.] [Atop Three Immortals Peak, you exchanged a Diagram of Wishful Visualization for two cups of Enlightenment Tea.] [After that, you chose not to stay for cultivation in the Qingyun Realm but returned to the Little Qingyun Realm!] [The fate of the Red Moon was unknown, but the battles between the Foreign Race and Human Clan Cultivators were taking place constantly...] [You changed your identity, joining the frontline at Heavenly Demon City, becoming a Ten Thousand Commander fighting against the Foreign Race...] ``` Chapter 948 - 339: A Century in Immersive Simulation, Targeting the Endless Sea Domain In the real world, Su Xing slightly nodded his head. "Good thinking. If I want to understand swordsmanship... then naturally, the most appropriate place is in battle!" "And the front lines of Heavenly Demon City are still the best place to hone my swordsmanship..." He paused for a moment and continued, "I wonder if this simulation will allow me to cultivate my swordsmanship to the Third Realm?" Su Xing anticipated in his heart that next, he only needed to steadily enhance his strength and gain comprehension of the Dao of Space. Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze turned toward the simulation panel. [Due to the complicated feud between Qingyun Sect and Heavenly Demon Prison, you have prudently not revealed your true identity.] [Instead, you continue to fight at the forefront of the battlefield, using only your Body Refinement Cultivation Level and swordsmanship to charge into battle in order to better hone your skills.] [Despite this, your power still crushes the Foreign Race, reestablishing the Tianyuan Army with overwhelming force.] [In the blink of an eye, five years have passed...] [In the thirty-fifth year, within just five years, you have risen from a Ten Thousand Commander to a frontline general of Heavenly Demon City, with military achievements second only to the Heavenly Demon General.] [In just five years, the Tianyuan Army, with your power alone, has absorbed tens of thousands of cultivators, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of the Foreign Race, and become the foremost combat force of the Heavenly Demon City front lines.] [And every day, you continue to battle and cultivate at the front lines, with your Cultivation Level climbing steadily.] [In the blink of an eye, forty years have passed...] [In the seventy-fifth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level has become even more profound, the might of your physical body growing daily, edging ever closer to the Great Achievement of the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision.] [The battles have also refined your swordsmanship, making it increasingly exquisite.] [Perhaps because the surprise attack on Red Moon was effective, so far, there have been no sightings of Red-eyed Foreign Race on the battlefield, and the Human Race has suppressed the Foreign Race, with cultivators of Little Qingyun Realm taking a complete lead!] Back in the real world, Su Xing nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this. "Good, it seems that Red Moon has indeed gone missing... even if not dead, it likely won''t be able to revive for hundreds of years!" "Although the surprise attack on Red Moon resulted in heavy casualties for Blue Star and the loss of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it seems the gains were even greater?" The delayed arrival of Red Moon might perhaps ensure the safety of Little Qingyun Realm or at the very least, postpone its demise for several hundred years. "So next, I should cultivate my swordsmanship... as well as the Dao of Space!" Regardless, he must not waste any opportunity to immerse in simulations... With that thought, Su Xing silently said, "Activate immersive simulation for a duration of one hundred years!" [Ding, you have successfully activated immersive simulation, spending 36,500 points from your Origin Energy Source, remaining points are 1,726,755...] As the simulation notification concluded, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the simulated world. ... In the next second, Su Xing appeared atop the city walls of Heavenly Demon City. In the distance loomed an aura of solemn killing intent, while countless corpses littered the vast wasteland. There lay skeletons of the Human Clan Cultivators, from those in the Integration Phase to those in the Immortal Realm, scattered across the land. But more abundant were the skeletons of the Foreign Race... Countless stinking corpses lay strewn across the ground, with many of the Foreign Race frantically consuming the bodies to replenish themselves. The Foreign Race, capable of cannibalizing to enhance their combat power, was an insurmountable weakness for the Human Race in battle. Here, thirty thousand miles to the north of Heavenly Demon City, lay a crucial frontline battlefield. At this location, in the simulation, the Tianyuan Army commanded by Su Xing was stationed! Su Xing had just entered the simulated world and glanced at the sky; the azure blue of the heavens contrasted starkly with the forbidding land below the city walls... "Indeed... with Red Moon gone, has the sky returned to normal?" Su Xing murmured to himself before his gaze sharpened. Suddenly, a shrill screech tore through the sky as a black bird, massive as a mountain, swooped down toward him. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The sky above the entire city turned dark... This was a powerful Different Race Deity with Divine Power, comparable to a Heavenly Immortal! The terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the whole city... On the city walls, countless cultivators looked toward Su Xing, yet in their eyes, there was little panic. Su Xing slowly rose to his feet, and with a thought, the Spirit Sword Mo Bing appeared in his hand. A refreshing coolness flowed from the hilt into Su Xing''s heart, creating a sense of connected minds. Immediately, Su Xing leapt up and in a flash, slashed out dozens of Sword Qi, weaving through the air like a web, slicing toward the massive Foreign Race bird. In an instant, the sky was filled with sword light, which cut the Heavenly Immortal Realm Foreign Race into hundreds of pieces! The stench of blood and flesh rained down outside the city, staining a swath of the land crimson... After Su Xing sliced with his sword, he then sheathed his sword and calmly issued a command: "Advance another eight hundred miles north today and drive the Foreign Race out of this region!" Below the city walls, countless members of the Tianyuan Army erupted with fervor, respecting Su Xing as if he were a deity! "At your command, General!" "Yes, General Su Xing!" The orders echoed down the ranks, while Su Xing slowly stood up and retreated back to the cave dwelling in the city. Such commands had been given countless times in previous immersive simulations, and Su Xing was extremely proficient at them. What Su Xing needed to do was to eliminate the high-end combat power of the Foreign Race, leaving the expulsion to his Tianyuan Army. After all, with over a hundred Immortals in the Tianyuan Army, they were not idle... In his city residence, Su Xing glanced at the recent strategic intelligence reports and slightly nodded, saying, "Good, without the interference of Red Moon, the situation in Little Qingyun Realm is looking very favorable!" "So next, I can focus on my cultivation..." ... In the blink of an eye, another two years had passed. In the seventy-seventh year of the simulation, Su Xing announced his retreat to focus on comprehending the Sword Dao. Within the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing sat alone under an ancient tree, while the sound of the Spiritual Liquid stream running nearby seemed deep and tranquil. Chapter 949 - 339: A Century in Immersive Simulation, Targeting the Endless Sea Domain_2 Su Xing sat at a table carved from dark wood, upon which a green porcelain teapot rested. He took out three leaves of Enlightenment Tea and brewed them with Spring Dew Pure Water, beginning his first preparation of the Enlightenment Tea. In the steaming hot water, the tea leaves slowly unfurled, emitting a delicate fragrance. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It''s time~" Feeling the temperature of the Enlightenment Tea in his hand, Su Xing carefully sipped his first mouthful. In just a few breaths, he felt his comprehension significantly increase. Unable to wait, Su Xing immediately activated his The Great Wisdom in Foolishness talent... With the blessings of Enlightenment Tea, The Great Wisdom in Foolishness, and Late Bloomer talents, one year of Su Xing''s cultivation was equivalent to several decades for an ordinary cultivator! At that moment, the talent of his Innate Sword Body also revealed its power... As the mellow tea flowed into him, becoming a warm current that spread throughout his body, Su Xing felt as if his mind and Sword Intent were merging, with the mysteries of the Sword Dao sparkling in the sea of his heart. Su Xing closed his eyes, allowing this realization to slowly sediment within his mind. Time passed, and three years later, Su Xing drank his second sip of Enlightenment Tea. This time, he felt the Sword Intent around him become crisper, within arm''s reach, as if he could see the invisible Sword Qi slicing through the air, each breath in sync with the rhythm of the Sword Qi. Su Xing''s mind state seemed to rise along with it, his understanding of the Sword Dao deepening. Another three years went by, and upon drinking the third mouthful of Enlightenment Tea, his body trembled lightly, overcome with a sensation he had never felt before. It was as if he could hear the whispers of the swords, sense their emotions. Thus, after three sips of Enlightenment Tea were completely assimilated, nine years quietly passed. ... In the simulated eightieth year, Su Xing slowly stood up, sensing the comprehension of the Sword Dao within him, and nodded slightly to himself, "Not bad, in a mere nine years, I''ve had a small breakthrough in my understanding of the Sword Dao!" "Although there''s still a distance from the Third Realm of the Sword Dao, at this rate, I should be able to successfully enter it in the next simulation at the latest!" "However, the fruits of my contemplation still need to be solidified through battle." That was the reason why Su Xing had chosen to go through immersive simulations at the front line of Heavenly Demon City. It wasn''t dangerous, and there were ample battles to allow Su Xing to hone his swordsmanship and advance swiftly into the Third Realm of the Sword Dao! You see, upon reaching the Second Realm of the Sword Dao, each breakthrough might require a thousand years. But for Su Xing to ascend further in just nine short years was a testament to his rapid progress. "Then all I need now is to engage in slaughter!" With a thought, Su Xing left his cave dwelling and appeared on the front line of the battlefield. His lieutenant quickly briefed him on the intel gathered over the years. Over the years, the Tianyuan Army had absorbed many immortals from other worlds. These immortals had all heard of Su Xing''s reputation. Thus, even though Su Xing hadn''t been in the Tianyuan Army for nine years, the Human Race still held an absolute advantage on the battlefield, steadily suppressing the Foreign Race in battle! "Give me a report on all the Foreign Race above the Earth Immortal Realm that have appeared on the battlefield over these years..." Su Xing casually ordered. At his status, he no longer needed to seek out Foreign Races to kill personally. His subordinates would naturally inform him of the complete intel. All Su Xing needed to do was to head to the domain of the high-ranking Foreign Races and carry out beheading missions. Soon, Su Xing obtained several reports, memorized their contents, and set off. In the following three short years, hundreds of Different Race Deities died by Su Xing''s hand! Nearly every three to five days, a deity of the Foreign Race fell to him! It must be understood that without the interference of the Red Moon, although the numbers of the Foreign Race were vast, they were not inexhaustible. Su Xing had been relentlessly charging through the battlefield for three full years! He even managed to slay several above the Heavenly Immortal Realm! With each strike, Su Xing gleaned new essences of the Sword Dao from his enemies'' reactions, and his path of the Sword Dao, forged in blood and fire, became increasingly profound. In the ninety-first simulated year, Su Xing''s fame on the battlefield grew ever louder. The current Su Xing was not only the soul of the Tianyuan Army but also the paragon of the Sword Dao in the hearts of the cultivators of the Little Qingyun Realm. And Su Xing himself, through constant battle, had slowly transformed the insights from nine years of the Enlightenment Tea into a part of his Sword Dao. By now, nearly all cultivators in the Little Qingyun Realm knew that within Heavenly Demon City, there resided a Sword Cultivator suspected to be at the True Immortal Realm! His swordsmanship was fierce, slaying ordinary Heavenly Immortals as if butchering chickens and slaughtering dogs! And the reputation of Su Xing was not low in the dozens of Minor Thousand Worlds near the Little Qingyun Realm, with more and more people joining the Tianyuan Army. Thus, another two years passed. ... One day, Su Xing stayed in his cave and pondered with some confusion, "Strange, in this simulation... it seems I haven''t been included in the Heavenly Pride rankings?" "Could it be the Heavenly Secret Pavilion has already recognized my cultivation level? As a True Immortal, it''s hardly realistic to be included in the Human rankings anymore..." Su Xing shook his head slightly. The Heavenly Pride rankings only selected cultivators up to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. True Immortals would be included in the Earth rankings! The Earth rankings, comprising the brightest one hundred True Immortals and Profound Immortals of the Three Thousand Worlds... However, to be listed in the Earth rankings, one must at least show the combat power of the Profound Immortal Realm and terrifying potential! Yet Su Xing''s current demonstrated combat capability was obviously far from reaching the height required to enter the Earth rankings. "But... the later it gets, the more powerful the Foreign Races that appear, so I needn''t worry about my fame not being sufficient..." Chapter 950 - 339: A Century in Immersive Simulation, Targeting the Endless Sea Domain_3 Su Xing finished speaking and began to consume the Enlightenment Tea for the second time. In the blink of an eye, another nine years had passed. On the hundredth year of the simulation, Su Xing awoke from his contemplation. "Not bad, nine years have deepened my understanding of the Sword Dao... Next is to continue the slaughter on the battlefield!" With a thought, Su Xing appeared on the battlefield. Next, Su Xing, as always, carried out beheadings against the Foreign Race. In the constant combat, Su Xing''s Sword Dao cultivation level kept improving! And with it, Su Xing''s killing intent also increased! ... Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was the one hundred and fiftieth year of the simulation. By now, Su Xing had completely assimilated the insights from the three cups of Enlightenment Tea. And the Tianyuan Army, under Su Xing''s leadership, had become an invincible force of cultivators in the Little Qingyun Realm! That day, in his cave dwelling, Su Xing summed up his cultivation insights from the past several decades. "Calculating the time, it has also been seventy-three years of immersive simulation..." "Three cups of Enlightenment Tea, completely digested... But for the Sword Dao, it seems there is still something lacking to reach the Third Realm..." Su Xing shook his head slightly; he knew that to advance smoothly into the Third Realm of the Sword Dao, not only did he need to contemplate, but he also needed some opportunitieshe couldn''t force it. "It''s alright, then next, I won''t rush to contemplate the Sword Dao... Other Great Daos also need to be contemplated!" "More importantly, the refinement of the Wen Dao Pill!" With a thought, Su Xing took out nine wrinkled Enlightenment Tea Leaves. "Previously, I had barely made a start on the refinement of Wen Dao Pills... Even the subpar Wen Dao Pills I refined were already comparable to the effects of two or three Spirit Awakening Pills!" "This time, I will put all my effort into contemplating the production of the Wen Dao Pill, striving to successfully refine a top-quality Wen Dao Pill!" A glint of excitement flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. He then swallowed a Spirit Awakening Pill, entered the Great Wisdom State, and began the refinement of the Wen Dao Pill! In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. During this month, Su Xing refined a total of four Wen Dao Pills. Among them, one achieved Pill Formation with subpar Elixir quality, while the other three were failures... Su Xing looked at the single Wen Dao Pill in his hand, smacking his lips and saying, "What a pity, only one Pill Formation was successful... Another one was so close!" "Fortunately, I still have five more chances to refine Wen Dao Pills!" Having said that, Su Xing decisively consumed the Enlightenment Pill to use the boost in comprehension and continue refining. Under the influence of the Wen Dao Pill, Su Xing''s understanding of the refinement process, and even the Alchemy Dao, quickly improved! However, time was limited, and in a month''s time, Su Xing could only refine four Wen Dao Pills at most. ... A month later, Su Xing looked at the two Wen Dao Pills in his hand and exclaimed, "Although comprehension has improved significantly, the number of times I can refine Elixirs is still far too few!" "To merely attempt to enter the Perfection Realm after refining a type of Elixir nine times is really not realistic! Even reaching the Minor Achievement Realm seems a bit distant..." Su Xing looked at the two Wen Dao Pills in his hand, both of subpar quality. Although the success rate of Alchemy increased, it still seemed a bit short of the Minor Achievement Realm... Su Xing looked at the Enlightenment Tea Leaves in his hand and muttered, "One last chance, I must at least refine a Wen Dao Pill of normal quality!" Having said that, without any hesitation, Su Xing began the final refinement! Ultimately, Su Xing''s wish was fulfilled, and he refined a normal-quality Wen Dao Pill! This meant that Su Xing''s refinement technique for the Wen Dao Pill had smoothly stepped into the Minor Achievement Realm! And he only took a week to refine a Wen Dao Pill. With the remaining twenty-plus days, Su Xing didn''t waste any time; he continued to contemplate Sword Intent. ... A month later, Su Xing slowly stood up and nodded, "Not bad, there''s still one regular quality Wen Dao Pill and one inferior Wen Dao Pill..." "The two elixirs combined, two months'' time can equal one hundred and fifty years of contemplation!" Su Xing pondered, now wasn''t the time for him to take these two elixirs. "Counting the time, it''s already been one hundred and fifty years in the immersive simulation...yet at the frontlines of the Little Qingyun Realm, there''s still no news of Red Moon!" "Perhaps, Red Moon has truly perished?" Su Xing stroked his chin and mused. "Thus, it seems there''s no need to stay in the Little Qingyun Realm anymore..." "This time, with abundant time, perhaps I should try heading for the Endless Sea Domain!" In previous simulations, Su Xing spent decades trying to reach the Endless Sea Domain from the Qingyun Realm, but fell far short. But in this simulation, Su Xing had at least two hundred more years, enough to cultivate all the way while attempting to reach the Endless Sea Domain! "Crossing the Endless Sea Domain...one can reach the Heavenly Secrets Realm, and even from there, travel to other Great Domains!" "I wonder, what''s the situation like in other Great Domains of the Three Thousand Worlds now?" Su Xing thought to himself. Su Xing informed a few trusted subordinates that the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm was stable, and he would also leave this place to journey to other worlds. Although he felt a deep reluctance, Su Xing still set out. Over the next twenty-seven years, Su Xing piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, starting from the Little Qingyun Realm and crossing over a hundred Minor Thousand Worlds, several hundred Void Nodes. Throughout this journey, Su Xing encountered many things, bringing substantial growth to both his personal experiences and mind state. During this time, Su Xing consumed the two Wen Dao Pills, further refining his understanding of the Dao of Space. ... As the immersive simulation ended, Su Xing returned to the real world. He used Divine Arts to recall his memory, and as his memories slowly flooded back, clarity returned to his eyes. "Not bad, this immersive simulation brought significant gain... Although I didn''t fully reach my goal, the progress is certainly remarkable!" Su Xing nodded slightly, aware that as his Cultivation Realm grew higher, it would likely be difficult, as before, to cross several Minor Realms with just one simulation. "So next, the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision needs to successfully enter the Third Realm of Great Achievement!" Su Xing''s gaze returned to the simulation panel. [In the one hundred and eightieth year of the simulation, you reached a Minor Thousand World named Xuan Iron Realm.] [This world produces Xuan Iron, a material so tough that even Mahayana Cultivators struggle to destroy it...] [What''s more intriguing to you is that this Xuan Iron shares remarkable similarities with Alien Metal; despite its unassuming size, a palm-sized piece could weigh tens of tons!] [According to your experience, this kind of Xuan Iron, like Alien Metal, might be an excellent source of energy...] [So, you purchased some Xuan Iron and made a mental note of this world''s location, continuing your journey southward to other Minor Realms.] [In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed...] [By the two hundredth year, you''ve traveled to five or six dozen different Minor Thousand Worlds in just a few decades.] [Along the way, you''ve discovered that the fame of many Minor Thousand Worlds often stems from that realm''s special products, or its renowned cultivators.] [And as your Cultivation Level increased and your comprehension of the Dao of Space deepened, your speed also accelerated.] [Meanwhile, although you''ve been traversing different worlds these years, you have not neglected the advancement of your Body Refinement Cultivation Level.] [The hundreds of thousands of Star Stones gathered from the Star Realm were enough for you to cultivate to the Perfection Realm of the third layer.] sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [By the two hundred and fiftieth year of the simulation, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level advanced further, and you were not far from the Third Realm of Great Achievement.] [In the near century, you''ve crossed over a thousand Void Nodes, visiting over a hundred Minor Thousand Worlds.] [Now, you are far from the Little Qingyun Realm...here, in the southern part of the Qingyun Realm, even many cultivators have never heard of the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Of course, the renown of Qingyun Sect and Tianyuan Sect still spreads far and wide here.] [Even more, every few Minor Thousand Worlds, you would see sub-branches of the two sects, occasionally recruiting talented cultivators.] [This, all the more, made you marvel at the strength of the top forces in the Three Thousand Worlds...] Chapter 951 - 340: Fortune Talent Shows Its Power, Profound Immortal Ancestor Dies Violently! In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured, "Those top powers are mighty, not just because they have top-tier powerful cultivators dominating the universe without rivals..." "The vastness of their territory and the breadth of their influence are also extremely important points!" According to what Su Xing knew, the Qingyun Sect''s power was not only limited to the Qingyun Realm and the Little Qingyun Realm; within the vast Qingyun Domain, countless Minor Worlds had branches established. The secretive establishment of these branches not only allowed them to continuously recruit fresh blood and new cultivators. More importantly, they could bring them sufficient information and resources. And the Luo Tian Sect of yesteryears was even more formidablethe Luo Tian Realm and the numerous Minor Worlds surrounding it, hundreds of Minor Thousand Worlds, were all directly under its jurisdiction. This territory was almost comparable to a Great Domain! Yet such a vast power... still perished in the long river of time. "However, in the southern part of the Qingyun Domain, the influence of the Qingyun Sect is smaller, which is good news for me..." "If I can cross the Endless Sea Domain, perhaps Qing Yunzi won''t be able to find me then?" Su Xing thought to himself. Before he completely helped Qing Yunzi find a way to eliminate the hidden dangers, fleeing far away was his best option. "Next...strive to reach the edge of the Endless Sea Domain within a hundred years!" Su Xing thought this, his gaze turning to the Simulation Panel. [In the 260th year, you arrived in a new Minor Thousand World, where you accidentally obtained a Heaven and Earth Treasure that strengthened your physique.] [After ingesting this Spiritual Medicine, you felt your physical body became even more formidable, inching closer to the Great Achievement of the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision...] [In the following forty years, you traveled toward the south of the Qingyun Domain, crossing countless Minor Worlds and Void Nodes.] sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [However, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat was only a semi-Acquired Treasure, and it struggled to withstand such long-distance travel.] [As a result, in the latter part of the journey, Su Xing had to repair the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat almost every few years, which wasted a lot of time.] [Fortunately, now that Su Xing''s cultivation level is sufficient, he could traverse the Void with only his physical body, and although he couldn''t cross Void Nodes, it could still be used for travel.] [Time flew by, and soon it was the 300th year.] [This year, Su Xing arrived at the notorious Blackheart Realm of the Qingyun Domain!] [Here, you''re extremely close to the edge of the Endless Sea Domain, far from both the Qingyun Realm and the Tianyuan Realm.] [Because of this, with the emperor far away, rarely do righteous forces extend their reach here, making this place known as a lawless region within the Qingyun Domain!] [Blackheart Realm, and the dozens of Minor Thousand Worlds around it, are extremely chaotic, with many evil cultivators lurking about, and robbery and slaughter are common occurrences.] [But precisely because it''s chaotic, the black market is highly developed, where many treasures and resources can be purchased at very low prices.] [Therefore, it''s common for righteous cultivators to disguise themselves as evil ones to procure goods in this black market...] Back in the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly at this. "So, I''ve already reached Blackheart Realm? It seems... that I''m not far from the edge of the Endless Sea Domain! At most thirty years... and I should be able to reach the edge successfully!" Su Xing had heard of Blackheart Realm before. The more southward you head from Blackheart Realm toward the Endless Sea Domain, the more desolate and chaotic it becomes. In comparison, Blackheart Realm seems like a node; there''s chaos, but there are seldom evil cultivators without any bottom line, like those from the Descending Sect. But further south, it''s hard to say... That''s also why the black market in Blackheart Realm is so prosperous, allowing for the purchase of many fine items. "Tsk tsk, this Blackheart Realm, if there''s a chance in the future, I might do some shopping here!" "If I need any resources, perhaps I can get them at a low price... even lower than the prices at the Money Guild..." He paused, and Su Xing continued, "But next, I''m not far from reaching the Great Achievement of the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, so I should have a successful breakthrough in this realm!" "After breaking through to the Great Achievement, it''s not too late to then head to the edge of the Endless Sea Domain..." Su Xing thought to himself, his gaze again on the Simulation Panel. [After some thought, you decided to stay in Blackheart Realm for a while, until you have perfected the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and then continue on your journey.] [Displaying the cultivation level of the True Immortal Realm, even in Blackheart Realm, you are considered a top-tier powerhouse, so naturally, you didn''t encounter any clich robbery incidents.] [So, you practiced every day in Blackheart Realm with the help of Star Stones.] [Your Body Refinement Cultivation Level grew higher, drawing ever closer to the Great Achievement of the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision...] [Thus, thirty years have passed.] [In the 330th year, one day, you had a feeling, and your physical strength increased further; the power granted by the countless stars in the universe seemed even stronger...] [Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the Great Achievement of the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!] [At this point, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level is comparable to the late stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, getting closer and closer to the True Immortal Realm...] [Having successfully broken through to the Great Achievement of the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, you maneuvered the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and continued toward the direction of the Endless Sea Domain.] Su Xing looked at the words before him and took a long breath. "At last, the Great Achievement of the third layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision! This simulation''s goal has been essentially achieved!" "So, next... I''ll go take a look at the edge of the Endless Sea Domain, and if I can cross the Endless Sea Domain, heading to the Heavenly Secrets Realm would naturally be best..." Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [Next, you spent a full thirty years traveling from Blackheart Realm, all the way to the most southern world of the Qingyun Domain, the Southern Sea Realm!] Chapter 954 - 340: Fortune Talent Shows Its Power, Profound Immortal Ancestor Dies Violently!_4 [This was a Void Beast comparable to those in the Golden Immortal Realm!] [The Profound Immortal Realm Bandit Cultivator pursuing you... he actually died in its jaws!] [Amidst your astonishment, you could only swiftly leave the area.] [Otherwise, once targeted by that Void Beast, you would have been unable to escape.] [The Golden Immortal Realm Void Beast noticed you, but having just consumed the flesh and blood of a Profound Immortal Cultivator, along with the Heaven and Earth Treasures inside his storage space, it did not care about you and merely tore open a rift in The Void, leaving the area.] [Three years later, once the Void Beast had completely vanished and it was safe, you returned to the site, eager to discover the identity of that Cultivator.] [Through relentless searching, you indeed found some clues at the site.] [A damaged Storage Ring, most of its treasures had been consumed by the Void Beast, but it still contained a few Jade Slips and an Identity Token.] [From this identity information, you learned that he was a Peak Profound Immortal Cultivator!] [He originated from a prominent family in the Southern Sea Realm, located on the fringes of the Endless Sea Domain, and was one of its second-generation ancestors!] [His Cultivation Level was peak Profound Immortal, just below that of a first-generation Golden Immortal ancestor...] [And he had set his sights on you decades ago, when you were in the Southern Sea Realm.] [Through a special ancestral technique, he sensed that you possessed a significant treasure.] [Thus, he schemed for decades, pursuing to kill you, a minor True Immortal Cultivator...] [Thinking that after patiently lying low for decades and having absolute superior Cultivation Level, killing you would be extremely easy.] [However, he never expected to be caught in turbulent flows of The Void and even to ultimately die in the jaws of a Void Beast...] [Facing a Peak Profound Immortal Cultivator''s pursuit, you fortuitously escaped disaster.] [Afterward, you continually searched within his damaged Storage Magical Artifact and eventually found something you had long dreamt of!] [It was a map from his family containing secret navigational routes in the Endless Sea Domain!] [Only this second-generation ancestor and the Golden Immortal ancestor in his entire family possessed it.] [Even across the entire Southern Sea Realm and the Qingyun Realm, less than ten people had this secret route map!] [Yet you found it... and so effortlessly.] Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Quickly, you took the map and headed to the nearest Minor Thousand Worlds.] In the real world, Su Xing''s eyes widened. "Holy shit, isn''t this just too bizarre?" "Just entering the Southern Sea Realm and already targeted by this old fox? Hasn''t it been almost a hundred years?" "Planning for a century... just for the treasure on me?" Su Xing didn''t know what significant treasure the Profound Immortal ancestor was after since he had too many treasures on him... "I don''t know whether to say the Profound Immortal''s luck was too rotten... or if my luck is just too good..." "Perhaps, it''s a bit of both?" Su Xing stroked his chin, thinking this. This time, in his simulation, he had drawn the Fortune Talent! Undoubtedly, a powerful talent... But to say that merely luck enabled him to kill a Peak Profound Immortal seemed a bit far-fetched. So Su Xing believed that his Fortune Talent only contributed half of the success... The other half was probably because the Profound Immortal involved in too much Slaughter, inviting bad luck. "Tsk tsk... even so, this Fortune Talent is too terrifying!" Su Xing sighed. "A Golden Immortal Realm Void Beast even showed up?" "The odds of encountering this creature... probably as likely as an Immortal choking on water and dying, right?" Su Xing exclaimed, amazed at his good fortune! "And the most crucial thing is, this Profound Immortal ancestor even delivered the Endless Sea Domain route map I wanted?" Chapter 955 - 341: Malice from the Taiyi Golden Immortal, Su Xings Escape Strategy "Looking at it this way, the Fortune Talent is really quite terrifying..." "Perhaps, it''s not just the effect of the Fortune Talent alone, but it must also be combined with the support of the ''Avoiding Misfortune'' Talent!" Su Xing thought to himself. A Profound Immortal Peak elder chasing after Su Xing was naturally a dire hazard. However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward! As Su Xing turned misfortune into fortune, enhanced by the Fortune Talent, he gained unexpected profits from this chase! "Void Beasts, possessing the power to manipulate space, can even secretly steal items from a cultivator''s Storage Magical Artifact... consuming them to grow stronger." "But things like Jade Slips are obviously beneath a Void Beast, so I reaped the benefits instead!" Su Xing was in an excellent mood, and with this route, after reaching the Profound Immortal Realm, he might try to cross the Endless Sea Domain to reach the Heavenly Secrets Realm. Thinking thusly, Su Xing murmured, "Activate the Immersive Simulation, duration one day!" [Ding...] ... When the Immersive Simulation ended, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and nodded, "Tsk, the Endless Sea Domain is indeed perilous... its internal Void currents are as unfathomable as the ocean..." Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Even with this navigation map, there are still certain risks. It''s best to wait until after I''ve reached the Profound Immortal level!" After pausing, Su Xing continued, "With the remaining time, I wonder if it''s possible to repair this Star-Moon Shuttle?" Su Xing had already planned his next steps and turned his eyes back to the Simulation Panel. [From this Profound Immortal ancestor''s Storage Magical Artifact, you obtained a relatively safe and hidden route across the Endless Sea Domain.] [Subsequently, you return to a small world, immersing yourself in studying Dao of Arrays while repairing the Star-Moon Shuttle.] [In the blink of an eye, another twenty years pass...] [In the four hundred seventieth year, one day, you sense a premonition, as your ''Avoiding Misfortune'' Talent sends frantic warnings.] [As expected, the day after, Qing Yunzi seeks you out.] [Feeling that you possess the Luo Tian Legacy and carry the Luo Tian Mirror, a temptation even the Daluo Golden Immortal can hardly resist.] [Moreover, Qing Yunzi, having been consumed by an Evil Corpse, certainly targets you for the Luo Tian Legacy...] [Qing Yunzi makes a move to perform a Soul Search on you...] [Your consciousness gradually fades...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, this simulation... reaching the four hundred seventieth year, has broken the previous simulation records!" "And as my cultivation level progressively increases... If I can leave the Qingyun Realm for a safer Great Domain, simulating a thousand years might not be a problem!" Su Xing reviewed the gains from this simulation. The Immersive Simulation brought Su Xing''s Sword Dao cultivation close to the Third Realm. And the refining of the Wen Dao Pill also reached the Minor Achievement stage! Afterward, Su Xing had more than a seventy percent confidence of crafting Wen Dao Pills of normal quality. A normal quality Wen Dao Pill, coupled with the talents of Great Wisdom and Late Bloomer, is equivalent to a hundred years of comprehension! Nine leaves of Enlightenment Tea would bring Su Xing nearly a thousand years of enlightenment! "But if only I could craft a perfect quality Wen Dao Pill..." "A top-quality Wen Dao Pill would be equivalent to at least two hundred years of enlightenment, right?" Su Xing''s heart was filled with longing. Yet, he was not a greedy person. He believed in progressing step by step for solid results. "With the increase in cultivation, the importance of the Immersive Simulation is growing ever greater!" "Besides being unable to bring out cultivation levels or physical items... almost all comprehension-related achievements can be taken out!" After pausing, Su Xing continued, "Besides, this simulation has also preliminarily confirmed some resources suitable to be converted into energy..." "Let''s see if these resources are worth trading." Moved by the thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the simulation rewards. [Fortune: Golden Talent, selling price of 10 Origin Energy Source points.] [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision Third Layer Great Achievement: originating from the Ancient Witch Tribe, has cultivated to the late phase of the third layer, possessing physical strength comparable to the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, able to display the Heavenly Earth Law Phase, Tiangang Divine Skills, and Wanxiang Thunder Summoning. Selling price 300,000 Origin Energy Source.] [True Immortal Realm Third Layer Cultivation: having overcome the three disasters of immortals, achieved True Immortal, the Great Dao is promising, living as long as the Meeting of Ones Yuan! Selling price 600,000 Origin Energy Source!] [Star-Moon Shuttle: a space-type Acquired Supreme Treasure, small enough to fit in the hand one inch in size, large enough to accommodate thousands of people one thousand zhang in size, capable of navigating in The Void, easily crossing hundreds of Void Nodes, can utilize its full potential in the Golden Immortal Realm, compares to a Taiyi Golden Immortal in full-speed navigation through The Void. However, some damage has occurred to its array and others over the years, necessitating repairs. Selling price 260,000 Origin Energy Source.] [Superior Star Stones a thousand pieces: from the Star Realm, a rare mineral possessing the power of stars, regarded as a supreme treasure for the practice of the ancient Star Witch Foreign Race, selling price 1,000,000 Origin Energy Source.] [Dao of Arrays Sentient (fifty years): after claiming, minor improvement in understanding of the Dao of Arrays, selling price 50,000 Origin Energy Source.] [Iron Essence ten thousand pieces: from the Cultivation World, a sturdy essential metal for crafting Magical Treasures, selling price 1,000 points of Origin Energy Source.] [Fire Copper ten th Chapter 956 - 341 Malice from the Taiyi Golden Immortal, Su Xings Escape Strategy_2 Among them, he listed even over a hundred, Su Xing obtained various special metals and other resources through trade from the Three Thousand Worlds. But not all of these resources possessed high energy value. Su Xing selected four types that had an exceptionally high cost-performance ratio, containing a vast amount of Origin Energy Source. Among them, the iron essence was just a more common mineral in the Cultivation World, with a sturdy material, but the energy value it contained exceeded Su Xing''s expectations! One iron essence, in the Cultivation World, could be purchased for about 10 low-grade Spirit Stones. Ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones could buy one thousand iron essences! While one low-grade Spirit Stone, the price Su Xing brought out was 1000 energy points; ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, then, equated to ten million energy points! (Note, this is energy) Ten million energy points, worth 10 points of Origin Energy Source, did not sound like a small amount. But this was the price Su Xing brought out from the simulation. If Su Xing wanted to convert Spirit Stones into Origin Energy Source, ten thousand Spirit Stones would only be worth one point of Origin Energy Source... However, if Su Xing bought iron essence with ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, he could get one thousand pieces, which, if returned to the simulator, would be worth approximately 10 points of Origin Energy Source. This back and forth was a difference of ten times! Therefore, it was natural that Su Xing would not foolishly exchange Spirit Stones directly for Origin Energy Source, as that would be a huge loss. "Similarly, fire copper and spirit iron in the Cultivation World are priced... between 20 to 30 low-grade Spirit Stones each, and there''s even a discount for bulk purchases!" "Therefore, these three items are definitely excellent trading targets!" Su Xing felt slightly pleased in his heart; with this, his plan could be smoothly implemented! Using Gathering Spirit Flowers as his initial capital, he would head to the Little Qingyun Realm and aggressively purchase these three resources rich in abundant energy! He paused, Su Xing''s gaze shifting toward the last reward. "Only this Void Spirit Xuan Iron, it seems similar to the alien metal on Blue Star? Could it be the same thing..." Su Xing recalled in his mind, it seemed that several eras ago, the Luo Tian Realm also produced Void Spirit Xuan Iron. And Blue Star along with its surrounding copies was once part of Luo Tian Realm, so if said Void Spirit Xuan Iron was a high-quality alien metal, it made sense. "Void Spirit Xuan Iron, maybe it''s a fifth-tier or even higher-grade alien metal?" Su Xing nodded slightly. "At last, this trip to Little Qingyun Realm should be able to gather quite a bit of energy! If all goes well... perhaps the Origin Energy Source needed for advancing to the Profound Immortal Realm can be assembled!" Su Xing was very satisfied with this. "However, currently, it is still necessary to select the rewards from this simulation!" Su Xing did not hesitate. The Fortune Talent was overly powerful! Such defiance of heaven, could even affect high-ranking cultivators! Su Xing had to bring it out... Besides, Body Refinement Cultivation Level was also one of Su Xing''s targets this time. Thinking thus, Su Xing silently invoked: "I choose to bring out the Gold Talent Fortune and the third tier Great Achievement of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!" As his words fell, the prompt from the simulator sounded beside his ear. [Ding, detected that you possess a lesser Talent of Good Fortune, Talent is automatically replacing...] [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Talent Fortune, consuming 10 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source 1,726,753 points...] [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the third tier Great Achievement of Body Refinement from the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision... consuming 300,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source 1,426,753 points...] After several prompts sounded, two waves of energy surged into Su Xing''s body. With the Fortune Talent, Su Xing did not feel much of a change. After all, destiny was indeed an elusive existence. But the enhancement in Body Refinement Cultivation made Su Xing feel a huge change. With a robust foundation of Body Cultivation already in place, plus the trial by tempest, Su Xing had now successfully advanced to the third tier Great Achievement in the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision! Even more so, Su Xing felt that now, with his pure physical strength alone, he could obliterate a mid-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator! "Tsk tsk indeed, the feeling of swiftly increasing strength, it''s quite wonderful!" Su Xing blinked, feeling somewhat insatiable. But glancing at the remaining Origin Energy Source, Su Xing also felt somewhat of a headache. "Alas, reaching Little Qingyun Realm, will still take at least half a month... Without any energy replenishment before then, this Origin Energy Source is going to diminish with each use!" Su Xing felt somewhat helpless, but in this area devoid of anyone, as he looked out into The Void, could there really be someone coming to give him energy? Just as Su Xing was sighing, suddenly he sensed something and looked towards a certain direction of the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat. sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hm? There... there seems to be a powerful aura!" Su Xing raised his eyebrows, he could feel that in the direction ahead of their flight path, there was an aura comparable to a True Immortal Realm cultivator! But the source of this aura was clearly not a Human Clan Cultivator... "This aura, seems to be a Void Beast? And it''s... a True Immortal Realm Void Beast!" Su Xing''s eyes widened, exclaiming to himself that his luck was really too good! Void Beasts, were also very rare in The Void! Their entire body was a treasure, their skin, bones, etc., all were precious materials for crafting space Magical Treasures. Not to mention, the "bezoar" in the stomach of a Void Beast was a Supreme Treasure for practicing the Dao of Space! A Void Beast could be considered a gold mine! The value of its entire body added up, even exceeding a hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones! Countless True Immortals and Profound Immortals, across The Void and the Nine Heavens, searched tirelessly for hundreds of years and might not encounter even one. Let alone... this was a True Immortal Realm comparable Void Beast! Chapter 957 - 341 Malice from a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Su Xings Strategy for Escape_3 "Goodness, I really struck gold this time!" Su Xing muttered to himself and, without hesitation, his figure moved through the void, rushing towards the position of the Void Beast. This Void Beast had only the cultivation level of the early stage of a True Immortal. Even in the void, the burst of cultivation level was no more than that of the early stage of a True Immortal. It only took Su Xing one day to successfully slay the Void Beast and then toss it into his storage ring... S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After doing all this, Su Xing returned to the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and headed towards the Little Qingyun Realm. "Tsks, this journey through the void has suddenly become quite exciting!" Su Xing curled the corners of his lips. ... But the Fortune Talent did not bring amazing gains every time. In the following days, Su Xing did not encounter any more Void Beasts. However, Su Xing found his voyage to be exceptionally smooth, hardly encountering any void turbulence. Even when he did occasionally encounter it, it was just a slight jolt that did not affect the progress towards the Little Qingyun Realm. Time flew by, and it was February 17, 2026, of the New Era. On this day, a new round of simulation chances for Su Xing refreshed. Inside the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Su Xing idly ate the sweet Spirit Fruits grown in the Spirit Field, glanced at the route ahead to ensure there were no dangers, and then started a new round of simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Simulation No. 126 has started, you currently have 1,426,753 Origin Energy Source points remaining... unlimited simulation instances remaining.] [Simulation initiated!] [Extracting a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 Origin Energy Source point, do you wish to draw?] "Confirm extraction!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent ''Blood Sacrifice Artifacts''... The probability of drawing a Golden Talent next time is 80%!] [''Blood Sacrifice Artifacts'']: Golden Talent, your blood possesses special abilities. When using your essence blood to refine Magical Treasures, it can enhance the quality of the Magical Treasures to some extent. "Hmm? This Talent..." Su Xing raised his eyebrows; this Talent seemed quite interesting! "A walking refiner among mortals? Able to enhance the quality of Magical Treasures..." "Only, I wonder if there will be any side effects?" Su Xing pondered thoughtfully. It is known that a cultivator''s essence blood is precious, if one were to lose too much at once, it would surely harm their foundation. "Let it be... let''s see what use this Talent has!" Su Xing contemplated for a while, his targets for this simulation. Firstly, his Body Refinement Cultivation Level had to reach the third level Perfection of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, this was the basic requirement! Next, mastering the third realm of the Sword Dao was needed... and the Dao of Space also needed further improvement! "Right, there''s also the repair of the Star-Moon Shuttle... I need some insight into the Dao of Arrays and Artifact Refining as well, both of which also need to be improved!" With these thoughts, Su Xing looked towards the Simulation Panel. [Inside the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, you realize that you are in a simulation!] [You continue your voyage in the direction of the Little Qingyun Realm.] [During this period, there are no unexpected incidents, and ten days later, you successfully arrive at the Little Qingyun Realm...] [Upon arriving at the Little Qingyun Realm, your first move is to sell information to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, clearly stating in your information that Red Moon is not completely dead and is planning a resurrection scheme.] [And the resurrection is at a critical moment... If you want to kill him successfully, you must dispatch two Taiyi Golden Immortals with the speed of lightning to swiftly kill Red Moon!] [After hearing your information, the girl at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion takes it seriously and quickly sends people to verify the truth of the information.] [In the subsequent period, you stay in the Little Qingyun Realm to exterminate the Descending Sect''s branch, earning a batch of cultivation resources.] [In the fifth year, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion verifies the truth of the information, and with all their might, asks two Taiyi Golden Immortals to join forces. Guided by you, they go to Blue Star to exterminate Red Moon!] [One month later, you successfully bring them back to Blue Star and head straight for the Endless Abyss, wishing to quickly exterminate Red Moon...] Back in the real world, Su Xing released a long breath upon seeing this. "Two Taiyi Golden Immortals taking action... there shouldn''t be any big problems, right?" This time, he has learned from his previous lessons, making sure to kill Red Moon swiftly to minimise the losses! "We must quickly eliminate Red Moon, preserve Blue Star... this way, I can also resolve the crisis faced by the Little Qingyun Realm!" Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel.

[In the twentieth year, one day, a Taiyi Golden Immortal found you!] [This Taiyi Golden Immortal was one of those who had fought in the battle on Blue Star...] [He obviously learned something on Blue Star, and as soon as he spoke, he asked you about the Luo Tian Legacy!] [After hearing his words, you felt shaken, sensing that the aura of this Taiyi Golden Immortal firmly locked onto you, leaving you almost powerless to resist!] [Facing this Taiyi Golden Immortal, you could only present Qing Yunzi''s personal Token, signifying your identity as a second generation direct disciple of the Luo Tian Sect!] [You told him that your trip to Blue Star was indeed under Qing Yunzi''s command, to investigate the Luo Tian Legacy...] [But the Luo Tian Legacy had already been lost; you had luckily found a part, which you had already given to your master (Qing Yunzi).] [Upon hearing your words, the Taiyi Golden Immortal''s expression suddenly turned ugly.] [Although he was a mighty sovereign-level Cultivator who ruled over a territory within the Three Thousand Worlds, he was not yet at the point where he could ignore the Qingyun Sect.] [After weighing the pros and cons, the Taiyi Golden Immortal still left...] [You had luckily preserved your life, but you also knew that this was, after all, only a temporary deception, so you decided to contact the Qingyun Sect as soon as possible, seeking their protection...] In the real world, Su Xing sighed. "Ah, wealth moves the heart!" "The Luo Tian Legacy... Even a righteous Taiyi Golden Immortal would harbor thoughts of murder for treasure!" "Fortunately, I was able to bluff, fooling the Taiyi Golden Immortal with the prestige of the Qingyun Sect..." Su Xing pondered for a while; he possessed the Luo Tian Mirror, which was indeed a fact. But fortunately, the Supreme Treasure had an inherent ability to conceal itself, and perhaps the Taiyi Golden Immortal could not discern its significance. "But still, it is necessary to contact the Qingyun Sect to ensure my own safety!" "Apart from that... this simulation, the goal of slaying the Red Moon, was achieved with the help of others!" Su Xing slightly nodded; it took two Taiyi Golden Immortals and ten years to finally slay this evil deity, the Red Moon. And the cost... was naturally devastating! "But fortunately... it resolves the future crisis of the Little Qingyun Realm! And the loss to Blue Star is also bearable..." "To kill the Red Moon quickly and without paying a price... is probably not easy!" "Unless one knows the Red Moon''s vital point... and possesses strength among the Taiyi Golden Immortals that is extremely formidable, then it is possible to slay it swiftly..." Su Xing was reflective. Even among Taiyi Golden Immortals, where the disparity in strength is quite significant, victory and defeat often require years or even decades to be determined... For these Cultivators, with life spans of millions of years, akin to the heavens themselves, a battle of several decades is like an ordinary person fighting for a few minutes. "So next, to the Qingyun Sect, to obtain Enlightenment Tea Leaves!" Su Xing thus thought, his gaze turning towards the Simulation Panel. [After having been targeted by this Taiyi Golden Immortal, you felt very uneasy.] [Therefore, you contacted the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and through it, you found Immortal Ziling...] [Under the guidance of Immortal Ziling, you arrived at the Three Immortals Peak and met with Qing Yunzi, successfully striking a deal with him.] [Having completed all this, you returned to the Little Qingyun Realm, preparing to settle the people from Blue Star who had migrated there.] [These people from Blue Star, within the Little Qingyun Realm, were not even as strong as ordinary people...

Outside White Emperor City, Su Xing surveyed the expansive city. "Indeed, worthy of an Immortal''s city... far surpasses Demon-Subduing Pass!" Su Xing sighed to himself and then strode into the city confidently. At this moment, cultivators bustled through Little Qingyun City, most wearing Daoist robes, exuding an Immortal''s bearing... Even though the vast majority were merely at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stages, their demeanor was impressive... As soon as he entered the city, Su Xing was stopped by a few low-ranked cultivators. "This one... Immortal Sir! You seem unfamiliar! Is this your first time in White Emperor City?" Su Xing looked at the low-rank cultivators before him, mere Foundation Establishments and Golden Cores. Su Xing instantly knew the origin of these low-ranked cultivators... The "Know-It-Alls" of White Emperor City! Of course, "Know-It-Alls" was merely a self-aggrandizing term used by these low-ranked cultivators. Most cultivators preferred to call them "errand runners"! In any case, most of these cultivators were below the Nascent Soul Stage. They relied on guiding incoming cultivators and providing information to earn some "tips"! For instance, they knew which herb shop in White Emperor City had high-quality, reasonably priced spiritual medicines. And which weapon shop had superior magical treasures... These "Know-It-Alls" could rattle off all these details. Even which brothel had beautiful Immortal prostitutes... or which Daoist companions were having affairs with other cultivators... they knew all these gossips! Normally, Su Xing was no stranger to White Emperor City, his familiarity not lesser than these "Know-It-Alls". But in reality, it was Su Xing''s first visit, all to better fit his current identity as "Su Ye." Su Xing decided to hire these "Know-It-Alls"... Thus, with a grand wave of his hand, he pointed at three of the "Know-It-Alls" standing in front of him and said, "You... you, and you! You three, show me around White Emperor City!" "If I''m pleased, you''ll be rewarded handsomely!" Saying so, Su Xing casually tossed seven or eight low-grade Spirit Stones. Seeing Su Xing''s dominant demeanor, the three low-rank cultivators immediately brightened up, simultaneously thinking the same thing. It was a big job! Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Like these three small-time cultivators, "Know-It-Alls" were indeed among the lower-ranked cultivators in White Emperor City. They had no special skills, but because they had been in White Emperor City longer, they were more familiar with the situation. But White Emperor City did not see many new faces every day... Even if unfamiliar cultivators came, they might not need the help of "Know-It-Alls." Even if they needed help... it might not necessarily involve them! Because of this, they could barely earn twenty or thirty low-grade Spirit Stones during good times. But this was mostly spent on the pleasures in the taverns and brothels of the Western District... They had never encountered a cultivator as "domineering" as Su Xing before! "Right! Honored Immortal Sir! What do you need? We three brothers here in White Emperor City know everything..." These three cultivators eagerly followed by Su Xing''s side, looking obsequious. The other "Know-It-Alls" at the city gate immediately regretted their hesitation. They had also noticed the extraordinary air of Su Xing, this "strange cultivator," and couldn''t even discern his cultivation level. But Su Xing''s disguised appearance had not seemed easy to approach, so they had hesitated and missed this opportunity. "Immortal Sir... Where are you from?" "No wonder this morning, as I set foot outside, I heard magpies chirping at the gate!" "It turns out we were about to meet an Immortal!" These cultivators flattered along the way, making Su Xing couldn''t help but feel his face redden. With a wave of his hand, he threw more than ten low-grade Spirit Stones. After walking with these cultivators for a while, Su Xing finally spoke, "Ahem, I... as a newcomer to White Emperor City, am here to purchase a batch of low-rank minerals!" "Do you know where in the city I can find a market with good quality and reasonable prices for minerals?" Chapter 967 - 344: The First Transaction of Little Qingyun Realm, Su Xings Scheme! Su Xing asked this question, already knowing the situation of the markets in White Emperor City. Not only which marketplace sold cheaper minerals, but even the surnames of the market owners, Su Xing knew them all. However, to fit better into his current "identity," Su Xing could only obtain information through these know-it-alls, so everything seemed flawless. As expected, upon hearing Su Xing''s question, the three junior cultivators looked at each other and vied to say: "Enlightened Immortal! In the treasures pavilion of the eastern city, every kind of mineral is fully available! It''s a top-notch place in all of Little Qingyun Realm!" "Enlightened Immortal! The products in the western city marketplace are of good quality and reasonably priced... and hehe, as a junior cultivator in the black market, I have connections where prices are more than thirty percent lower than the outside world!" "Enlightened Immortal... I think the Spirit Ore sold by Wanjin Pavilion has the best reputation, and the owner''s wife there... has quite impressive... charms!" Su Xing listened and did not speak, mulling over in his mind. He had visited all the places mentioned by these junior cultivators, and indeed, they were excellent places to purchase minerals in White Emperor City. Moreover, Su Xing''s demand was massive, and one marketplace alone probably couldn''t meet his needs... he would surely have to visit each one! Thus, Su Xing pretended to chuckle and said, "Since that is the case, let''s go to Wanjin Pavilion first!" Hearing Su Xing''s response, the three junior cultivators exchanged glances and simultaneously smiled knowingly. ... Soon, Su Xing arrived at Wanjin Pavilion. Indeed, as the three juniors had said, Wanjin Pavilion specialized in selling various rare minerals and materials from demonic beasts, with a wide variety. As soon as Su Xing entered, he saw many cultivators selecting items on the shelves. "Enlightened Immortal, may I ask, how much is your budget for this purchase?" "Hehe, enlightened immortal knows, in this kind of shop, those willing to spend money are kings!" One of the more astute junior cultivators came forward and whispered into Su Xing''s ear. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After hearing this, Su Xing''s lips curled up and he slowly breathed out a few words, "The budget, ah! It''s unlimited... there''s nothing in this mere White Emperor City that I cannot afford!" This bold declaration was deliberate, shaped precisely to build the persona he wished to project: Powerful, of unknown origin... but a wealthy cultivator! As expected, upon hearing Su Xing''s words, several nearby customers glanced over repeatedly, rarely seeing a cultivator with such an attitude. With Su Xing''s affirmation, the three guiding junior cultivators felt even more confident. One of them made his way through the crowd, intending to find the person in charge of Wanjin Pavilion directly. Before long, a rich middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent robe and wearing a jade pendant briskly walked over. Su Xing merely glanced sideways and saw through his cultivation. "Hmm, at the late stage of Divinity Transformation... but his cultivation is inflated, likely piled up through medicinal means." Su Xing scanned him briefly then paid him no heed, continuing to focus on analyzing the various spirit ores on the shelves. Each unique stone that passed through Su Xing''s hands, he knew instantly how rich it was in origin energy. Unfortunately, after checking dozens of stones, either the contained origin energy was too little, pitiful even, or the price was expensive, not suited for mass purchase, and the cost-effectiveness was low. This person in charge of Wanjin Pavilion, nicknamed Jin Lao Liu, was somewhat famous in White Emperor City, not for his high cultivation level but because he was a direct descendant from the Jin Family, backing Wanjin Pavilion. Jin Lao Liu, who had been enjoying the company of a beautiful concubine in the back hall, was annoyed by the sudden intrusion of the guiding junior cultivator, thus already in a bad mood. He had expected some big customer, but at first sight, seeing Su Xing dressed simply and looking unfamiliar, he was skeptical. Yet seeing Su Xing standing there as if he hadn''t seen him at all made him even more displeased. "Yo, you three wretches, who''s the big customer you were talking about?" Jin Lao Liu glanced at the guiding junior cultivator, standing five feet away from Su Xing, his words filled with sarcasm. As the person in charge of Wanjin Pavilion, he naturally recognized this group of "know-it-alls" who loitered around the city, aware that not only was their cultivation low, but their vision was limited, so he took Su Xing even less seriously. Hearing Jin Lao Liu''s words, Su Xing still didn''t react, just kept carefully examining the items on the shelves. This scene, in Jin Lao Liu''s eyes, only infuriated him more! What was Jin Lao Liu''s status? A grand cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Peak, the head of Wanjin Pavilion. Even some cultivators at the Body Integration Realm would show him respect. Thus, Jin Lao Liu''s smile stiffened gradually, his tone filled with mockery: "Hey, you three wretches! Our Wanjin Pavilion doesn''t host just any guest... Some people think too highly of themselves, but don''t even have a few Spirit Stones to spend. Do they really think they can come to my Wanjin Pavilion and throw their weight around?" Jin Lao Liu slightly released the oppressive aura of a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage, and the Foundation Establishment junior cultivator, terrified, turned pale and sat down on the ground, unable to speak. Seeing this, Su Xing frowned lightly, just about to speak, but Jin Lao Liu took the initiative to confront: "Sir, did you come to Wanjin Pavilion to buy something? If not, please don''t linger here and disturb other customers." Jin Lao Liu''s tone carried a hint of coldness, trying to probe Su Xing''s background. Upon hearing this, Su Xing was amused by the audacity, a mere ant at the Divinity Transformation Stage daring to speak to him like this? Immediately, Su Xing took a step forward, without any visible action, but just a glance that frightened Jin Lao Liu so much he fell on his rear, a mix of yellow and white substances flowing out, his mouth trembling unable to speak. Chapter 968 - 344: The First Transaction of Little Qingyun Realm, Su Xings Scheme! _2 This one glance from Su Xing had no trace of murderous intent, yet the sheer aura shaped by years of battle on the battlefield nearly scared Jin Lao Liu to death. However, at that moment, a pleasant voice sounded: "Xiao Liu Zi, is this how you receive the distinguished guests of Wanjin Pavilion?" "Treating guests without a hint of courtesy... from today onward, you needn''t work at Wanjin Pavilion!" The speaker was a voluptuous and pretty woman, appearing to be in her thirties, exuding an air of allure. This person was none other than the behind-the-scenes owner of Wanjin Pavilion, Jin Sanniang. Dressed in splendid attire, Jin Sanniang stepped down the stairs lightly; she had just come to inspect Wanjin Pavilion today and happened upon this situation. Upon seeing Jin Sanniang approaching, Su Xing merely raised his head slightly to glance at her, then continued observing the minerals inside the pavilion. Su Xing had sensed Jin Sanniang''s presence as soon as he entered. A female cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, with quite decent aptitude. But to own a Wanjin Pavilion in such a vast White Emperor City, there probably was a significant figure backing her. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, Su Xing estimated that this significant figure behind her was at best an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. With Su Xing''s current strength, hardly anyone in the Little Qingyun Realm could catch his eye. Standing three feet away from Su Xing, Jin Sanniang first bowed and then apologetically said: "Jin Sanniang here, owner of Wanjin Pavilion. Having an Immortal grace our pavilion today truly honors Wanjin Pavilion. If the Immortal has any needs, our pavilion is willing to offer the biggest discount." After pausing, Jin Sanniang added: "All goods in Wanjin Pavilion will be sold to the Immortal at half price as an apology, how about that?" Upon hearing Jin Sanniang''s submissive tone, the cultivators around who were watching the commotion showed surprised expressions. If Jin Lao Liu was merely a fox in tiger''s clothing, then Jin Sanniang in White Emperor City carried some real weight! Jin Sanniang herself was a cultivator who had been in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage for quite some time, towering above the majority of cultivators. Moreover, rumors had it that she was the concubine of an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, which enabled her to establish the quite renowned Wanjin Pavilion in White Emperor City. "Goodness, what kind of background does this foreign cultivator have... to make even Jin Sanniang bow her head?" "Who knows... maybe the foreign monks excel at chanting scriptures? This cultivator looks very fierce... trouble''s brewing!" A few customers not far away whispered and buzzed with discussion. Meanwhile, Jin Sanniang, although smiling on the surface, was already sweating profusely. At this moment, she wished she could just cripple her cousin, Jin Lao Liu! It was one thing for him to misbehave under the name of Wanjin Pavilion on normal days, but today he had provoked such a significant figure! Indeed, although Jin Sanniang was unaware of Su Xing''s true cultivation level. But with her insight and Divine Sense, she couldn''t even begin to fathom Su Xing''s level... just this alone explained a lot! "Oh? All the items I purchase today will be sold at half price?" Su Xing smiled, glanced around at the customers, and said nothing more. Jin Sanniang immediately caught on, cleared her throat, and crisply said: "Cough, cough, today Sanniang will host a distinguished guest!" "All other patrons, the items in your hands will be sold at eighty percent... however, please leave Wanjin Pavilion quickly, as Wanjin Pavilion is closing for the day!" Upon hearing Jin Sanniang''s words, the several hundred customers in the store also prudently exited. Leaving only Su Xing and three junior cultivators leading the way behind. Jin Sanniang gave a signal to her maids, then turned to the three junior cultivators and said: "Three learned guides, spirit fruit tea has been prepared; would it be possible for you to move to the VIP room to rest for a while?" Seeing Jin Sanniang being so polite, the jaws of these three junior cultivators nearly dropped. What a figure was Jin Sanniang? A mighty Transcendance Tribulation stage grand cultivator! The owner of Wanjin Pavilion! Yet today, she was treating these three mere guides, who didn''t even reach the Golden Core Stage, with such respect! And all this... naturally, was because of Su Xing! Realizing this, the three junior cultivators looked at Su Xing with eyes full of reverence. Of course, for these low-rank cultivators, Su Xing truly was no different from a god... ... Moments later, Su Xing was alone invited by Jin Sanniang into a private VIP booth. After dismissing the maids around her, Jin Sanniang took a seat first, revealing her graceful figure, and then brewed a pot of tea for Su Xing, asking: "What items did the Immortal come to Wanjin Pavilion to purchase?" As she spoke, Jin Sanniang subtly moved three inches closer, the fragrance from her body and the view from up front clear to Su Xing. Su Xing, seemingly indifferent, glanced at Jin Sanniang but internally felt a bit of admiration. Jin Sanniang truly was a woman of charm renowned in White Emperor City; coveted by an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, her stature and beauty were top-notch among immortals. Had it not been for Su Xing being accustomed to seeing Jin Congxue, Luo Shuying,... and even Immortal Ziling, such rare women across the Three Thousand Worlds, he might genuinely struggle to contain his impulses. With thoughts briefly flashing in his mind, Su Xing then showed a slight smile, stretched out his hand to pull Jin Sanniang into his embrace, and after giving her a firm squeeze, laughed heartily: "I, Su Ye, have come here naturally for significant business dealings!" "Such big business... perhaps your Wanjin Pavilion alone can''t handle it!" Seeing Su Xing''s rough approach, Jin Sanniang''s brows slightly furrowed, but hearing about the big business, she instantly ceased her subtle movements and moved even closer. Breathing out the fragrance, she inquired: "I wonder, what kind of big business does the Immortal wish to conduct? Allow me to eagerly anticipate it!" Chapter 969 - 344 The First Transaction in Little Qingyun Realm, Su Xings Planning!_3 Su Xing leaned close to Jin Sanniang''s ear, speaking with an air of mystery, Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I''ve come to buy iron essence, fire copper, and spirit ironthese three types of minerals..." Jin Sanniang was originally all smiles, but upon hearing Su Xing''s words, her face darkened considerably, and the corners of her mouth twitched as she asked, "Hehe, isn''t the esteemed immortal perhaps joking with me?" "You''re saying the big business deal... refers to these three types of metal minerals?" Su Xing nodded with a smile, while Jin Sanniang''s face showed an expression of disbelief. Just as Jin Sanniang was about to stand up, Su Xing added, "Hehe, does Sanniang consider... a business deal of one million, or even ten million Spirit Stones to be a large deal?" When Jin Sanniang heard Su Xing''s words, she paused, stopped her motion to rise, and leaned in even closer to confirm, "You just said, a business deal of ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones, Mister Su?" Su Xing shook his head and said, "No, it''s ten million High-grade Spirit Stones!" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Sanniang''s eyes widened, and her body began to tremble. Ten million High-grade Spirit Stones... Even if the entire Wanjin Pavilion were sold off, it probably wouldn''t be worth that much! Ten million High-grade Spirit Stones, let''s not talk about her, a cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stagemost cultivators at the Earth Immortal Realm wouldn''t be able to produce so much! Su Xing had inherited all of the legacies within the Spiritual Ancestral Land of the Spirit Race, and the High-grade Spirit Stones he had amounted to roughly eight million. But this did not mean Su Xing couldn''t come up with so many Spirit Stones. Even without selling Gathering Spirit Flowers, Su Xing could exchange some intelligence for Spirit Stones at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Some key pieces of intelligence were not suitable for sale, but information regarding the Descending Sect could be sold by Su Xing. When Jin Sanniang first heard "ten million High-grade Spirit Stones," she was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time. But she quickly came to her senses. With her tiny Wanjin Pavilion, she probably couldn''t handle such a large order. Thus, Jin Sanniang said thoughtfully, "Mister Su... one iron essence is roughly worth 15 Low-grade Spirit Stones on the market... You may know, although I am the behind-the-scenes owner of Wanjin Pavilion, such a big deal is not entirely up to me!" "I estimate that the lowest price I can offer for one iron essence is approximately 8 Low-grade Spirit Stones..." "And for fire copper, roughly 15 Low-grade Spirit Stones each..." "Spirit Iron, on the other hand, is 20 Low-grade Spirit Stones each..." Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing Jin Sanniang''s words; these prices were much cheaper than what he bought in the simulator! At the very least, this could save Su Xing several million High-grade Spirit Stones! His efforts were not in vain. Su Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Sanniang, I wonder how much iron essence, fire copper, and spirit iron Wanjin Pavilion can sell at one time?" After pondering, Jin Sanniang replied, "These three metals are commonly found in the Little Qingyun Realm... and the demand is tremendous, with many cultivators buying hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand at a time, which are already considered large orders!" "Therefore, in my Wanjin Pavilion, there is still quite a lot of these three types of metals in stock..." After a pause, Jin Sanniang said, "At present, in the storeroom of Wanjin Pavilion, there are approximately five million iron essence ores, three million fire copper ores, and one million spirit iron blocks..." "This is all the stock available in my Wanjin Pavilion!" Su Xing frowned slightly upon hearing this; the quantity was much less than he had anticipated! Five million iron essence, priced at forty million Low-grade Spirit Stones... equals four hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones. Three million fire copper, priced at four hundred and fifty thousand High-grade Spirit Stones. One million spirit iron blocks, priced at two hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones... And the total value of these three types of metals together amounted to no more than fourteen million points of Origin Energy Source... This amount of Origin Energy Source was still nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Su Xing''s needs! Thus, Su Xing shook his head and said, "Not enough! Not nearly enough!" "The more of these three metals, the better!" "I''ll take as much as you can provide... as long as you have it!" "My expectation is, one hundred million iron essence ores, fifty million fire copper ores... and ten million spirit iron blocks!" "This is, my purchasing baseline..." Su Xing estimated that if such quantities could be provided, roughly worth 2.3 million points of Origin Energy Source, then his trip would not have been in vain. Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Jin Sanniang showed a look of difficulty and explained, "Mister Su... for such a large order, let alone my Wanjin Pavilion, even all the merchants in White Emperor City together probably couldn''t handle it!" "I estimate that adding up all of White Emperor City, being able to supply one-third of the metals you seek... would already be the limit!" Indeed, Jin Sanniang found this difficult; this no longer concerned the price, but White Emperor City, despite having a million cultivators, truly couldn''t provide so many minerals... For such a large order, valued at several tens of millions of High-grade Spirit Stones, the profit for her Wanjin Pavilion would probably exceed several million High-grade Spirit Stones! If she could supply it, why wouldn''t Jin Sanniang sell? But Su Xing said, "If White Emperor City can''t gather enough, then contact other cities! All across the Little Qingyun Realm... you can get in touch, as long as the merchants are willing to work with you, you can purchase to resell to me!" Saying that, Su Xing casually tossed a Storage Bag over and said, "There are two million High-grade Spirit Stones in this Storage Bag, consider it a deposit!" "Bring as much of these three types of metal as you can manage, and the sooner the better!" Upon hearing this, Jin Sanniang picked up the Storage Bag, sent her Divine Sense inside, and seeing the mountains of High-grade Spirit Stones piled inside, she immediately began to breathe with growing urgency. Jin Sanniang pocketed the bag of Spirit Stones, and then, patting her ample chest, she assured, Chapter 970 - 344: The First Transaction in Little Qingyun Realm, Su Xings Planning!_4 "Upper Immortal, San Niang will definitely do her best!" "But I estimate that even at the fastest, within a week, we can only gather half..." "But if you give San Niang three months, I surely can gather more than what you requested of these three types of minerals!" In the Little Qingyun Realm, these three types of minerals are not scarce...many low-rank cultivators make a living by mining. But the demand has never been this high before. Now that Su Xing suddenly brought such a large demand, Jin San Niang, even if hiring low-rank cultivators to mine day and night, would likely need some time. "Three months, huh..." After listening, Su Xing slightly frowned and shook his head, "Three months is too long! I will give you two and a half months; I have prepared fifty million high-grade spirit stones, how many you can absorb is up to you!" Saying this, Su Xing pushed away Jin San Niang and before leaving the private room, Su Xing said, "I am staying at the inn in the city... you can contact me anytime if you have any needs!" After Su Xing walked away, Jin San Niang was stunned for a long time before she regained her senses, first taking out a sound transmission jade slip to contact her powerful backer. After getting the approval of that Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, Jin San Niang immediately ordered everyone in Wan Jin Pavilion to fully collect these three minerals and issued a notice in the city, calling lower-rank cultivators to go to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to mine the minerals with all their strength! ... On the other side, after leaving Wan Jin Pavilion, Su Xing spent a few spirit stones and rented a nice guest room in the center of the city. After setting up several protective formations, Su Xing turned and entered the Spirit Field Cave. Inside the Spirit Field Cave, a new round of simulation opportunities had cooled down. Su Xing murmured, "The seeds are already sown... I wonder how the harvest will be?" "Only hoping, it won''t be a wasted trip!" Saying this, Su Xing silently commanded, "Start the simulation!" [127th simulation initiated, current remaining origin energy source points 399,377...remaining simulation times are unlimited.] [Simulation starts!] [Drawing Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 origin energy point, do you wish to draw?] "Confirm the draw!"

"Hmm? Only drew Purple Talent this time..." Su Xing slightly shook his head, counting, he had already drawn Golden Talent seven or eight times consecutively. And Su Xing''s luck-related Talent does not take effect on the simulator. An eighty percent chance was indeed time for a Purple Talent to appear. "Well, let''s see if this simulation, and consequently the deal, can be carried out smoothly!" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "And also, it''s time to break through to the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Technique!" Su Xing had a plan in mind. On February 24, 2026, of the New Era, Su Xing began a new round of simulation. [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are simulating.] [You set out and headed to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion branch in White Emperor City, meeting that Heavenly Secret Pavilion girl...] [You engaged in a transaction with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion girl; by selling information of the Descending Sect''s various branches within the Little Qingyun Realm, you received a reward of three million high-grade spirit stones.] [Then, you proposed a trade with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, offering over a thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers and hoped to exchange them for a portion of spirit stones.] [The Heavenly Secret Pavilion girl after a brief surprise offered two million high-grade spirit stones to purchase this batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers.] [You nodded in agreement and successfully traded with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [Then, you left the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and headed to the White Emperor Tower branch...] Chapter 971 - 345: The Ultimate Speed and Strength, Comprehension of The Way of Speed and Force! In the real world, Su Xing nodded and said, "White Emperor Tower is one of the top three powers in Little Qingyun Realm..." "Heavenly Secret Pavilion doesn''t involve itself in worldly affairs, leaving only White Emperor Tower, Heavenly Demon Prison, and Qingyun Sect as the three major forces with considerable influence." "Among them, White Emperor Tower has the least restrictions... My identity as a guest elder should be able to secure a respectable position within..." In Su Xing''s plan, Little Qingyun Realm was absolutely a crucial stronghold! And since Su Xing had just arrived in Little Qingyun Realm, with only his strength to offer, he naturally chose to temporarily ally himself with a power. Sarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Relatively speaking, White Emperor Tower was the most suitable force for Su Xing at the moment. "With a cultivation level at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, I should be able to become a first-class guest elder within the branch of White Emperor Tower... which would be sufficient to collaborate with my upcoming plans!" Su Xing thought this as he looked toward the simulation panel. "After arriving at White Emperor Tower, you demonstrated the peak cultivation level of the Earth Immortal Realm, which immediately attracted the attention of those within White Emperor Tower." "After several verifications, the branch master of White Emperor Tower, a True Immortal, personally met with you..." "Three days later, you successfully became a first-class guest elder of White Emperor Tower." "Guest elders of White Emperor Tower are not concerned with one''s background, as long as they are not cultivators of the evil path, anyone can assume the position." "At the same time, you also gained the privilege to purchase a cave dwelling in White Emperor City." "To avoid drawing attention and to better match your identity, you spent a million low-grade Spirit Stones to rent a low-grade cave for a ten-year period in the center of White Emperor City..." "Seven days later, you visited the Pavilion of Myriad Golds again." "Jin Sanniang truly deserves her reputation as a well-known merchant in White Emperor City; in just over ten days, she not only completed the task you had set but had already gathered half of the three types of mineral ores you requested!" "At the same time, Jin Sanniang told you that her backer wished to meet with you..." "Upon hearing this, you contemplated the situation, knowing that if you want to hold some power within White Emperor City, allies are naturally indispensable." "And the Earth Immortal backing Jin Sanniang seemed like an excellent choice." "Thus, you agreed to meet with Jin Sanniang''s backer." "As you anticipated, Jin Sanniang''s backer was also a first-class guest elder of White Emperor Tower!" "This person, named Bai Xuan, is a cultivator in the late phase of the Earth Immortal Realm, having developed his power in White Emperor City for ten thousand years with deeply rooted influence and considerable wealth and strength in the Earth Immortal Realm..." "The reason Jin Sanniang could find so much ore in such a short time was likely due to the considerable effort Bai Xuan put behind it..." "Your negotiations with Bai Xuan went smoothly; you agreed to raise the purchase price by 10%, while Bai Xuan assured he would use his connections, ensuring not just in White Emperor City but across dozens of cultivator cities in the northern part of Little Qingyun Realm, he could gather the ores for you..." "Thus, everyone was happy, and you and the Pavilion of Myriad Golds reached a win-win situation." "In this way, another two months passed." "The Pavilion of Myriad Golds brought you a large batch of the three types of metal, even twice the amount you had anticipated!" "You estimate, the total value of the three types of alien metal brought by the Pavilion of Myriad Golds... is close to five million points of Origin Energy Source!" Back in the real world, a gleam of light burst in Su Xing''s eyes. "Wow, that''s five million points of Origin Energy Source!" "This amount... is entirely sufficient for my breakthrough to the Profound Immortal Realm!" Su Xing felt delighted, as just these five million points of Origin Energy Source made his trip to Little Qingyun Realm worthwhile! Moreover, once this trade route was established, calling upon loose cultivators within White Emperor City to continuously mine these three metals for Su Xing. The benefits... would be incessant! "So... the only problem now is, such a large amount of these three types of metal will probably cost no less than thirty million high-grade Spirit Stones!" "With the financial resources I currently have... it seems I''m not yet able to afford it..." Su Xing slightly frowned. The good news was, Su Xing''s Origin Energy had a place to go. The bad news was, Su Xing didn''t have enough Spirit Stones... he couldn''t afford it! "The Spirit Stones I have on hand, when converted to high-grade Spirit Stones... are about ten million." "And Gathering Spirit Flowers are not suitable to be sold in large quantities... the situation is somewhat difficult!" After pondering for a while, if he were to purely sell Gathering Spirit Flowers, to cover the gap of twenty million high-grade Spirit Stones, he would need to sell at least ten thousand plants! And such a large quantity of Gathering Spirit Flowers was clearly not something that Su Xing, at his "small" peak Earth Immortal Realm cultivation, should possess, which would inevitably attract the attention of the interested. "To display a matching level of strength and wealth... this is the only way to avoid scrutiny by petty people!" After contemplation, the matter of Gathering Spirit Flowers was of great significance, and if too much was revealed all at once, once the news got out, there might be cultivators from other worlds at the Profound Immortal Realm coming to find him! And this, clearly, was not something Su Xing wanted to see. "So... this gap of twenty million high-grade Spirit Stones must be filled in batches..." "A part of it can come from selling three thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers, which shouldn''t be a problem... and the rest can come from selling some Divine Skills Techniques..." After pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued, "Also, the distance from Little Qingyun Realm to Blackwater Realm doesn''t seem far!" "With only three or four Void Nodes separating them... if I use the Star-Moon Shuttle, I could arrive within less than two months!" Su Xing pondered whether to make a trip to Blackwater Realm, after all, there was also a part of Luo Tian Legacy waiting for him there. But after weighing the options, Su Xing decided against the idea. A round trip to Blackwater Realm would need at least five months. Chapter 972 - 345: The Ultimate Speed and Strength, Comprehension of The Way of Speed and Force!_2 For those millions of drops of high-grade spiritual liquid... ten million high-grade spirit stones, it seems not worthwhile yet? "Perhaps, once my Dao of Space enters the Fourth Realm... I can head to the Blackwater Realm!" Su Xing thought thus, his gaze then shifting toward the simulation panel. [Afterward, you stayed in the Little Qingyun Realm for two more months, confirming that there were no issues with this trade. Then, you commanded the Star-Moon Shuttle and returned to Blue Star.] [This return to Blue Star took you only about ten days.] [After returning to Blue Star, you began the action of eliminating the Descending Sect.] [This action had no specific plan... You simply relied on your extraordinary strength to crush and slaughter the damned Dragon and a host of high-level members of the Descending Sect.] Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [As for the Descending Sect''s followers and middle-level cadres, you managed to hoodwink them successfully using your Master of Success Talent.] [With the swiftness of a thunderclap, you swept through the entire Descending Sect... and then you plundered the Descending Sect''s treasure vault!] [You sent puppet subordinates to inventory the resources in the Descending Sect''s treasure vault...] [The resources in their vault exceeded your expectations!] [You unceremoniously took these resources into your own hands, enjoyed a trip to the Blood Demon Realm, and cleansed the remaining evil cultivators.] [After all this, you commanded the Star-Moon Shuttle back to the Little Qingyun Realm, informed the Heavenly Secret Pavilion of the Red Moon''s intelligence, and requested the help of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.] [You went to Blue Star with two Taiyi Golden Immortals, ready to eradicate the Red Moon.] [After inviting the two Taiyi Golden Immortals into the Endless Abyss, you started planning the relocation of the Blue Star Human Race.] [In a blink, eight years passed...] [In the eighth year, you successfully relocated the majority of the Daxia Human Race and a small portion of people from other countries to the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Having done all this, you immediately contacted the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and revealed your identity as a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.] [You met Immortal Ziling and, under her guidance, went to Three Immortals Peak.] [You struck a deal with Qing Yunzi and successfully obtained two cups of Enlightenment Tea.] [In the tenth year, news of Red Moon''s downfall arrived. One Taiyi Golden Immortal was severely injured, and one was slightly injured but they returned.] [But they knew of your identity as the direct disciple of Qing Yunzi, so they did not trouble you.] [You successfully dodged a bullet and afterwards spent three years building a cultivation academy for the Blue Star Human Race, supplying them with cultivation resources.] [After doing all this, the frustrations in your heart diminished, and your mind state improved considerably.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this. "The initial preparations are almost done!" "So now, in the following time in the simulation, I should focus on cultivation!" Su Xing pondered for a moment, his Body Refinement Cultivation Level needed to break through to the Fourth Layer! "Also, the Dao of Space needs further enhancement!" Su Xing was bound to wander among the various Minor Thousand Worlds in the future, searching for the Luo Tian Legacy. But if he wanted to reach different worlds quickly, he must enhance his escape speed! "Any Dao Comprehension, the difference between the Third Realm and the Fourth Realm is like heaven and earth!" "The Great Dao of Space in the Fourth Realm... better not let me down!" Su Xing murmured. But then, Su Xing felt somewhat helpless. "Qi Refining Cultivation... needs to be further enhanced, but elevating two realms would require six hundred thousand points of Origin Energy Source..." "With the current rate at which I can acquire Origin Energy Sources... it seems utterly impossible to stockpile them!" Su Xing shook his head slightly, he did plan to enhance his Qi Refinement Cultivation Level, but this would mean there might not be enough Origin Energy Source. "No matter what, I must not slack off in enhancing my cultivation level... At this moment, I can only take one step at a time!" Su Xing thought thus, his gaze returning to the simulation panel. [In the fifteenth year, you left the Little Qingyun Realm, commanding the Star-Moon Shuttle, heading for the Nine Heavens.] [In the twentieth year, you successfully reached the Nine Heavens and began to plunder the Secret Realms within the Nine Heavens!] [Yes, for other cultivators, decades of wandering might hardly yield a single Secret Realm, a single treasure.] [But for you, with the Fortune Talent, you encounter Secret Realms nearly every month, acquiring treasures, albeit the quality of treasures varied.] [You spent merely three years to reach the Third Layer of Heaven.] [With your strength, exploring Secret Realms in the Third Layer of Heaven was most suitable.] [Your main goal was to collect enough Dao fragments to aid your cultivation and, simultaneously, hunt Void Beasts in preparation for future comprehension of the Dao of Space.] [In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed...] [In the fortieth year, over these twenty years, you hunted no less than ten Void Beasts, with three possessing strength above the True Immortal Realm. They provided you with plenty of insights into the Dao of Space.] [You also acquired other treasures, such as an extremely light feather that contained the Way of Speed and a palm-sized, yet mountain-heavy stone imbibed with the Dao of Strength.] [With the Fortune Talent, you thrived in the Third Layer of Heaven, easily obtaining many treasures to assist in cultivation.] [Thus, another thirty-seven years passed...] [In the seventy-seventh year, you found a relatively safe Secret Realm in the Third Layer of Heaven and began taking stock of the treasures acquired over the years.] [In just over sixty years, you killed more than twenty Void Beasts! You obtained over fifty cores from these Void Beasts, all of which were Supreme Treasures for comprehending the Dao of Space!] [In addition, you also acquired various other treasures filled with Dao Essence, sufficient to sustain your future cultivation.] Chapter 973 - 345: The Ultimate Speed and Strength, Comprehension of The Way of Speed and Force!_3 In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded, saying, "Not bad, these resources obtained are enough for my following contemplations!" Since Su Xing had decided to prioritize comprehension of the Dao of Space, naturally he needed to gather more calcifications produced by Void Beasts, which would facilitate his future cultivation. Thinking of this, Su Xing murmured, "Activate Immersive Simulation for a duration of seventy-five years!" [Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation, consuming 27,375 Origin Energy Source points, remaining Origin Energy Source 372,001 points...] As the simulation notification sound ended, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the Simulated World. Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In a secret realm full of birdsong and fragrant flowers, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and checked the items in his storage space, nodding and saying, "Not bad, next I should comprehend the Dao of Space..." With a thought, Su Xing took out the Enlightenment Tea and began to brew it. Moments later, a cup of fresh tea appeared in Su Xing''s hands. After taking a small sip, feeling a great increase in his comprehension, Su Xing took out several Void Beast calcifications and began to understand the Dao of Space. In the blink of an eye, nine years had passed... That day, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, waking up from his contemplation, feeling the progress of the Dao of Space and slightly nodding. "Not bad, with treasures aiding in comprehension, indeed it achieves twice the result with half the effort!" "At this rate, it would take approximately ten thousand years to smoothly step into the Fourth Layer of the Dao of Space!" The ten thousand years Su Xing mentioned were without the help of Enlightenment Tea, The Great Wisdom in Foolishness, or the Great Talent Maturing Late. If all three were considered, at most another 170-odd years, and Su Xing would be able to step into the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space! "Calculating it out, at most after three more Immersive Simulations... I will be able to enter the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space! By that time, my speed of navigating The Void will definitely increase significantly!" Su Xing was very satisfied and continued to comprehend the Dao of Space. ... Time flew, and the sun and moon sped on... In a blink of an eye, another forty-five years had passed. This was already the fifty-fourth year of Su Xing''s Immersive Simulation. Three cups of Enlightenment Tea were completely consumed. For a cultivator, so much time was but a flick of a finger! "A cycle of sixty years for Enlightenment... comprehension of the Dao of Space has greatly improved!" Su Xing woke from his state of contemplation, feeling the progress of the Great Dao of Space and was filled with emotions. "Although I haven''t stepped into the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space, I have progressed much more than before!" "If I were to traverse The Void now, to return from the Little Qingyun Realm to Blue Star, it would probably take at most eight days..." Su Xing felt joy in his heart; the benefits of the Dao of Space were greater than he had imagined! If one day, Su Xing''s Dao of Space was strong enough, traveling between the Little Qingyun Realm and Blue Star would only take a day. By then, where in the Three Thousand Worlds would Su Xing not be able to go? Perhaps describing it as ''morning at the azure sea and evening under the gray wu trees'' would be an understatement? "Fifty-four years of Immersive Simulation... The three cups of Enlightenment Tea have been exhausted, so next, it''s time to brew the Wen Dao Pill!" Su Xing took out a Spirit Awakening Pill and four wrinkled Enlightenment Tea Leaves and began to refine the Wen Dao Pill. Now, Su Xing''s skill in refining the Wen Dao Pill had reached Minor Achievement, with a high success rate of 80%. Even if the refining failed, he could at least produce an inferior quality elixir. But there was still a considerable distance from the Mahayana Level refining skill... So, over the next two months, Su Xing refined a total of nine Wen Dao Pills. Eight were formed successfully, all of normal quality... and one inferior Wen Dao Pill, which Su Xing used. In a secret realm within the Third Layer of the Nine Heavens, Su Xing looked at the eight Wen Dao Pills in his hand and murmured, "These eight pills are equivalent to eight hundred years of hard cultivation... equal to almost half a cup of Enlightenment Tea in effectiveness!" "But next, I shouldn''t continue to comprehend the Dao of Space..." Instead of continuing his comprehension of the Dao of Space, Su Xing had a better decision. With a thought, Su Xing took out a light and pure white feather, wrapped in wisps of the essence of the Way of Speed, quite extraordinary. "This must be the feather of some powerful avian Demonic Beast; appearing here in the Nine Heavens, could it be the feather of an ancient divine beast?" Su Xing didn''t know the owner of the feather, but he knew that this feather would be greatly beneficial for his comprehension of the Way of Speed. "It turns out, my comprehension of the Way of Speed and Power... still remains at the Origin stage!" "Just right, let''s take this opportunity to break through to the embryonic stage of the Great Dao!" Then Su Xing took the first Wen Dao Pill and holding the feather in hand, began to comprehend the Way of Speed. Over the next three months, Su Xing successively took three more Wen Dao Pills. Four Wen Dao Pills ingested, four months'' time, Su Xing equivalent to four hundred years of comprehension! And this finally allowed Su Xing''s understanding of the Way of Speed to step into the First Realm, the embryonic stage of the Great Dao! In the secrecy of the realm, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, feeling the benefits of entering the First Realm of the Way of Speed, his face showing a hint of amazement. "So that''s how it is... the Way of Speed is the core of the Escape Speed!" Suddenly, Su Xing felt a bit frustrated; previously, he had only focused on comprehending the Dao of Space and had neglected the equally important Way of Speed! "With the Way of Speed entering the First Realm... my Divine Skill ''Soaring Earthly Radiance'' is at least more than 30% faster!" "And, it seems the Way of Speed can also enhance the Immortal Boat, making it travel faster!" Su Xing took a deep breath; this was indeed an oversight of his. Now it seemed the Dao of Space was more to deal with the various dangerous environments within The Void or to perform short to medium-distance teleportations. However, if sailing in The Void for a long time, not only must one be proficient in the Dao of Space, but the Way of Speed cannot be ignored! Chapter 974 - 345: The Ultimate Speed and Strength, Comprehension of The Way of Speed and Force!_4 ``` "Tsk tsk... With the Dao of Speed stepping into the First Realm, if I were to integrate it with the Star-Moon Shuttle, I''m afraid it would take only a week to smoothly return to Blue Star!" Su Xing felt somewhat emotional in his heart. It seemed that there was great potential for growth in his mastery of the Way of Escape Speed. "What a delightful surprise indeed!" Su Xing smacked his lips and then took out the pitch-black stone. This stone was only the size of a palm, but the weight it contained was no less than that of a large mountain! Su Xing estimated that this stone weighed billions of tons! Even he felt its heft in his hands. "This stone should be the legendary Zhou Mountain Stone..." Su Xing had heard that in the Ancient Era, there was a mountain named Mount Bu Zhou, soaring tens of thousands of zhang high, with exceptionally hard and extremely heavy rocks. And the rocks from this mountain were known as Zhou Mountain Stones, the main material for refining the Immortal Treasure "Overturning Mountain Seal"! The Overturning Mountain Seal, palm-sized, but when used against an enemy, each strike was as powerful as the force of mountains and rivers! This was precisely because it contained Zhou Mountain Stone, a type of mineral. "Tsk tsk, this stone had already nearly vanished after the Witch Clan''s wrathful strike on Mount Bu Zhou in the Ancient Era... I didn''t expect to find it in the Nine Heavens. I really am lucky!" Su Xing silently noted down the location where he had found these treasures so that he could easily obtain them in later simulations. "With such weight, this stone is indeed a Supreme Treasure for comprehending the Power Path!" Su Xing muttered to himself, then took a Wen Dao Pill to begin his comprehension of the Power Path. In the blink of an eye, four months had passed... Su Xing successfully pushed his Dao Comprehension of the Power Path into the embryonic form of the Great Dao! Now, Su Xing possessed the Dao of the Five Elements, Dao of Space, Way of Cause and Effect, Dao of Thunder, The Way of Speed and Force, Dao of Slaughter, Dao of the Sword... A total of eight types of Great Dao, all stepping into the Realm of the Great Dao! "Whew... Although there are eight types of Great Dao... but since the Dao of the Five Elements is unified, if I break them down, I have comprehended a total of thirteen types of Dao!" Su Xing thought to himself, each of the eight Dao was exceptional, leaving Su Xing with virtually no weak points. "Hereafter, unless it''s a top-tier Dao... there''s no need to put effort into comprehending them!" Su Xing shook his head slightly, even with a simulator, he already found it extremely difficult to comprehend eight different Dao simultaneously. In the future, unless it was a top-tier Dao like Time or Life and Death... Su Xing no longer saw the need to bother comprehending them. The existing Dao were already enough for Su Xing to use. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "However, currently being unable to fully unleash the power of these eight Dao..." Su Xing knew that to fully display the strength of the Dao, the key was to rely on the "Spirit Domain"! And Su Xing hadn''t cultivated the Spirit Domain for a long time... it was time to start cultivating the Spirit Domain as soon as possible! "When I first entered the Immortal Realm, the Spirit Domain was my strength... but as my cultivation level increased, the Dao of the Spirit Domain has fallen behind!" "But fortunately, with a solid foundation, it won''t be difficult to catch up!" ... After the 152nd year in the simulator, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world. After deploying his Divine Skills of Memory, Su Xing''s memories gradually recovered, his eyes clear as he looked towards the simulation panel. [In the 152nd year, you endured hardships for seventy-five years in the Third Layer of the Secret Realms, advancing your Dao Comprehension further still!] [Subsequently, you chose to return to Qingyun Sect, focusing on improving your cultivation level...] [In the 155th year, you returned to Qingyun Sect and immediately entered the Luo Tian Realm, inquiring about the progress of planting the Hua...] ``` Chapter 975 - 346: Grand Witch Body Refining Decision Fourth Layer, First Meeting with the Maiden Over a hundred years ago, you had already implemented the plan to cultivate the Patching Heaven Flower, and you had several dozen sect members from the Luo Tian Sect, including Shennong Youtian, cultivating the flower for you. Now a century has passed, and it''s time to reap the fruits of that labor! So, you entered the Luo Tian Realm and inquired about the progress of the Patching Heaven Flower cultivation project with people like Shennong Youtian. As an immortal who is one of the last in the Three Thousand Worlds to reach the supreme realm of the Soul-Nurturing Way, Shennong Youtian did not disappoint you. In just a hundred years, he successfully cultivated over fifty Patching Heaven Flowers, more than enough for your future cultivation needs... Your heart filled with joy, and upon successfully acquiring the Patching Heaven Flowers, you begin preparations to break through to the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision! In the real world, Su Xing''s lips curled upwards. "Shennong Youtian, he really didn''t let me down!" "Just a hundred years...and the Patching Heaven Flowers have been successfully cultivated?" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing marveled at his own luck. It is well-known that the Patching Heaven Flower, an immortal elixir from the ancient times, has long since vanished. If Su Xing were to try to find this flower in the current Three Thousand Worlds, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens! But the Luo Tian Realm, a perfect replica of the Luo Tian Realm from several Yuan Meetings ago, contained many magical treasures and spiritual medicines that had disappeared... This is precisely how Su Xing had obtained the Patching Heaven Flowers! Otherwise, if Su Xing were to search for them himself, he wouldn''t know how much time it would take... Even if he did find them, he would need a hundred years to cultivate them himself. But Shennong Youtian undoubtedly saved Su Xing a lot of time. "Indeed...it seems that the Luo Tian Mirror is truly a supreme treasure!" Su Xing sighed with a feeling of expectation in his heart, could this simulation help him successfully step into the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision? His gaze turned to the simulation panel. After obtaining over fifty Patching Heaven Flowers, you feel great joy and begin attempting to break through to the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision! You went to the Qingyun Sect and settled in a cave dwelling to focus on your breakthrough. After three months of rest, you tuned your state to its peak and consumed the first piece of Patching Heaven Flower. The Patching Heaven Flower, all white and only half the size of a palm, looks ordinary in shape, yet contains an extraordinarily exceptional aura and a life force that is startlingly remarkable. Without hesitation, you swallow half a stem of the Patching Heaven Flower. Instantly, a rich, warm current spreads from your abdomen, rapidly diffusing through your limbs and bones. You can clearly feel every inch of skin, every bone, and every drop of blood in your body trembling, letting out a low humming sound. In just an instant, the qi and blood within you surged like raging rivers, continuously scouring and tempering, the tremendous change it brought about was even comparable to the growth during an ascension in cultivation level. Yet, the effects of the Patching Heaven Flower brought more than just changes in qi and blood, it was also an increase in life force! This sensation was like a dead tree reviving in spring, swiftly transforming and renewing your life force. You could even feel your cells becoming stronger under this power, as if each one was filled with infinite vitality. But such transformation did not come without a cost! Along with the intense changes, you also acutely felt the pain in every organ and bone within your body... The pain was so vivid and intense that you couldn''t help but let out a muffled groan, your veins bulging. Nevertheless, you clenched your teeth and persisted... Who knows how long it had been, but when you came to your senses once again, feeling the pain within you had subsided, your body felt incredibly light. You made a quick calculation and discovered that this minor seclusion had actually lasted an entire year! During this year, the strength of your physical body had increased by at least thirty percent! And this was merely the result of ingesting half a Patching Heaven Flower... In the real world, Su Xing took in a sharp breath. "Half a Patching Heaven Flower has increased the strength of my physical body by a full thirty percent?" "No... the Patching Heaven Flower itself shouldn''t be this miraculous!" "What''s more important must be the synergy between the Patching Heaven Flower and the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, bringing me ever closer to the fourth layer!" Su Xing couldn''t help but feel joyful inside. His Body Refinement Cultivation Level had always been ahead of his Qi Refining Cultivation. But at the current stage, it had slightly fallen behind... However, Su Xing''s greatest trump card, the Body-Protecting Sword Aura, still relied on the Body Refinement Cultivation Level to unleash its full power. Thus, the increase in the Body Refinement Cultivation Level could not be overlooked! "So, next, I should make a concerted effort to push the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision into the fourth layer!" Su Xing felt excited, his eyes returning to the simulation panel. After feeling the astonishing benefits brought by the Patching Heaven Flower, you are filled with surprise and, without any hesitation, consume the remaining half of the Gathering Spirit Flower. As always, the medicinal effect of the Patching Heaven Flower fiercely purifies your physical body, allowing it to further increase in strength... At the same time, you also vaguely sense that the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision is steadily advancing towards the fourth layer. The Body Cultivation bottleneck that had troubled you for a century became as trivial as slicing through bamboo... In a blink of an eye, ten years passed! During these ten years, you had consumed four Patching Heaven Flowers, and your physical body continued to grow, within a step''s reach of the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision... Finally, in the one hundred and sixty-sixth year of the simulation. One day, you feel the invisible shackles on your physical body shatter in an instant... Immediately thereafter, you feel yourself overcoming that long-standing bottleneck, and the strength of your body grows wildly. It''s as if the sky had been pushed higher... your Body Refinement Cultivation Level can now continue to climb. Chapter 977 - 346: Grand Witch Body Refinement Decision Fourth Layer, First Meeting with the Girl_3 ``` [In the blink of an eye, sixty years have passed...] [In the four hundred seventieth year, this year your Qi Refining Cultivation reached the third layer''s mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm...] [In the same year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level also made significant progress, with the minor achievement of the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision not far out of reach...] [One day, you divined that a deadly tribulation was imminent in your life, with your Talent for avoiding disaster and seeking good fortune sending out frantic warnings.] [The next day, Qing Yunzi came to visit...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended...] "Phew... four hundred seventy years in simulation, just as I expected!" Su Xing murmured. "However, the goals for this simulation were also smoothly achieved... Aside from increased cultivation level and insights, at the very least there is no great risk with the transaction from Wan Jin Pavilion!" Su Xing thought this, his gaze shifting to the list of rewards from this simulation. [Wooden Body]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 point of Origin Energy Source. [Entrance to the Fourth Layer of Grand Witch Body Refining Decision]: A Body Refinement technique of the Ancient Witch Clan, reaching the fourth layer allows for limb regeneration and a continuous flow of vital energy within the body, greatly enhancing stamina, priced at 200,000 Origin Energy Source. [Third Layer Qi Refining Cultivation Level of the True Immortal Realm]: Having transcended the three disasters faced by an Immortal, achieving the status of a True Immortal, the Great Dao is within reach, with longevity stretching out to include an entire kalpa! Priced at 600,000 Origin Energy Source! [Zhou Mountain Stone]: A stone from the ancient divine mountain, Mount Bu Zhou, heavy as mountains and rivers, an excellent material for crafting the Heaven-shaking Seal and also a treasure to understand the Dao of Strength and the Great Dao of Earth, priced at 200,000 Origin Energy Source. [Green Luan Tail Feather]: Legend has it that the Green Luan was the messenger bird of a formidable being from the Ancient Era, incredibly swift, with its feathers containing insights into the Dao of Speed, priced at 100,000 Origin Energy Source. Su Xing looked at the rewards list in front of him and raised an eyebrow. "Well now, Zhou Mountain Stone, Green Luan Tail Feather, these two items... are not ordinary indeed!" Su Xing hadn''t expected that what he obtained within the Nine Heavens would be treasures such as these. He recognized the Zhou Mountain Stone, but the Green Luan Tail Feather, that was unknown to Su Xing. "It appears there truly are grand secrets within the Nine Heavens! It is highly likely to be a battlefield from the Ancient Times!" Su Xing pondered. However, compared to the Green Luan, the Zhou Mountain Stone drew Su Xing''s interest even more! "A palm-sized piece of Zhou Mountain Stone is worth 200,000 Origin Energy Source?" "Doesn''t this mean that Zhou Mountain Stone is the perfect material containing energy that I''ve been searching for?" Taking out a palm-sized piece of Zhou Mountain Stone requires 200,000 Origin Energy Source... That implies a sale of a Zhou Mountain Stone could approximately fetch him 20,000 Origin Energy Source. This is not a low price! The most important thing was that Mount Bu Zhou is incomprehensibly tall! How many Zhou Mountain Stones might it contain? That would be terrifying! But immediately after, Su Xing sighed. "It''s just a pity that Mount Bu Zhou has completely vanished within the Three Thousand Worlds... If only we could find Mount Bu Zhou then!" A desire took root in Su Xing''s heart; if he could find Mount Bu Zhou, then he might never need to worry about Origin Energy shortage again! A tireless source of energy... was awaiting Su Xing! "Alas, best not to dwell on such far-fetched thoughts for the time being..." "This simulation definitely calls for bringing out both Body and Qi Cultivation Levels!" "The two rewards combined will require 800,000 Origin Energy Source... while in my possession, there is barely less than 400,000." "It seems my hope lies with Wan Jin Pavilion then." After a pause, Su Xing continued, "However... the energy required for upgrading the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision seems less than I had imagined!" "The fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision corresponds to the True Immortal Realm Cultivation... its four stages of entrance, minor achievement, great achievement, and perfection each correspond to the initial, mid, late, and perfect stages of the True Immortal Realm..." "Logically, each minor realm''s enhancement would require 900,000 Origin Energy Source... but looking at it now, it seems to only need 600,000?" Su Xing contemplated. From the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the first layer of the True Immortal Realm, 300,000 Origin Energy Source is needed. S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And advancing from the third layer''s perfection to the fourth layer''s entrance of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision only needs 200,000 Origin Energy Source. Clearly, prioritizing the enhancement of Body Cultivation offers a higher cost-efficiency! Especially since Su Xing is currently short on energy... "Enhancing Body Cultivation Level can also quickly advance my strength, and it saves more Origin Energy Source, it seems it''s time to focus on cultivating the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision next!" After some thought, Su Xing said, "Nonetheless, the current Origin Energy Source is still insufficient... I ought to consider selling some Cultivation Techniques and Supernatural Powers." Su Xing was struck by a thought and took out a few Heavenly Grade Techniques from his Storage Magical Artifact. These Heavenly Grade Techniques were all acquired from the Spiritual Ancestral Land and, while not core techniques of Luo Tian Sect, they were also not ordinary techniques commonly found on the market. "Seven top-notch Heavenly Grade Techniques in total, each worth one million High-grade Spirit Stones, I wonder if they can be sold?" Those truly in need of cultivation techniques would be the Cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing, Human Immortal Realm, and some at the Earth Immortal Realm. Cultivators at these realms are at the stage where suitable cultivation techniques are scarce, and they might consider purchasing them at high prices if they find the right ones! Especially since the techniques Su Xing was offering were some of the most excellent among their class! "As for the Heavenly and True Immortals, they already have their own paths and, unless they encounter top-notch Cultivation Techniques and Supernatural Powers, they would not easily make a purchase..." Su Xing''s expectation was to sell the seven techniques for seven million High-grade Spirit Stones as a fair deal. After all, he had thousands of such techniques in his possession... And Su Xing was selling imprint copies, which meant no loss to him. ``` Chapter 978 - 346: Grand Witch Body Refining Decision Fourth Layer, First Meeting with the Girl_4 ``` "However, before selling the cultivation technique, I still need to visit the Heavenly Secret Pavilion first!" Thinking of the girl inside the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, a hint of wariness flashed through Su Xing''s eyes. Even though he now possessed the cultivation level of a True Immortal, he still couldn''t see through the girl''s true nature. "However, from what the simulation suggests... it seems that the girl holds no ill will towards me, so a meeting should be possible!" After pondering for a moment, Su Xing added a few more arts and techniques on himself to shield against Heavenly Secrets and conceal his aura before he felt at ease to head to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Crossing the bustling White Emperor City, Su Xing made his way towards the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Soon, Su Xing stopped in front of an ancient-looking shop. After taking a moment to observe the branch of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Su Xing could clearly sense its uniqueness. The layered formations and the space-transposing Art used here, Su Xing estimated nothing short of a Profound Immortal Realm cultivation level could have set them up! "The foundation of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is indeed terrifying..." Su Xing muttered softly, then pushed open the door and entered the Heavenly Secret Pavilion shop. As soon as he entered, Su Xing saw the girl dozing off on the table. Inside this branch of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, which was only about thirty to forty square meters and lacked any lavish decorations, it looked more like some soon-to-close post house. Together with the lazy "shopkeeper girl", it looked even more so! Seeing Su Xing walk in, the girl just offered a token greeting: "My fellow Daoist, are you here to buy information or to sell?" Su Xing was already accustomed to this, so he replied calmly: "I''m here to sell information... I have some intelligence regarding the Descending Sect, please appraise its price!" Having said that, Su Xing handed over a Jade Slip. Stored within this Jade Slip were naturally the locations of each major Descending Sect branch in the Little Qingyun Realm and the intelligence on those treacherous families. The girl showed a trace of interest when she heard Su Xing mention "Descending Sect" information. Then, she probed into the Jade Slip with her Divine Sense and read it carefully, her expression becoming somewhat solemn. "Can you guarantee the authenticity of this information?" The girl looked at Su Xing with a much more serious expression. Su Xing nodded decisively and said: "The authenticity of this information can certainly be guaranteed! As for the source of the information... I cannot say for now." After hearing Su Xing''s response, the girl nodded slightly, then thoughtfully pondered for a while. After a long time, she said to Su Xing: "If it were normal times, we wouldn''t easily purchase unverified information like this..." Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "But your information is too important, it might affect the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm!" "And, the information you provided is very detailed... and can be verified quickly..." The girl thought for a moment, then said: "According to our Heavenly Secret Pavilion''s assessment, your information is worth about eight million High-grade Spirit Stones!" "Three million, I can give you now... but for the rest, you''ll need to wait until half a month later, once we confirm there are no issues with the information, then you can come find me!" Su Xing nodded at her words, saying: "That''s agreeable!" Following this, the girl tossed over a Storage Bag and said: "Well then, you may count it..." After hearing this, Su Xing swept his Divine Sense over it, confirmed the amount was correct, and then accepted it. After completing the first transaction, Su Xing did not rush to leave, but continued to ask the girl: "Does the Heavenly Secret Pavilion purchase treasures as well?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, the girl subconsciously thought to refuse, but then as if possessed, she changed tack and said: "The Heavenly Secret Pavilion naturally deals in buying and selling information... but, well!" "If you truly have a treasure I care for in your hands... I might consider buying it!" ``` Chapter 983 - 348: Hong Yun Shows Its Power, Earning Four Million Origin Energy Source! Su Xing felt quite delighted in his heart. His original combat strength was already strong among Profound Immortals. Advancing to the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision significantly enhanced Su Xing''s resistance to blows! Regenerating limbs in a short time meant that as long as Su Xing avoided vital parts, he could completely adopt a strategy of trading injury for injury, fighting desperately with the enemy, greatly enhancing his combat power. "Besides regenerating limbs...my vital energy and physical strength have also more than doubled!" Su Xing, feeling the godlike strength within him, estimated: "Now, if I were to strike with full force... I''m afraid the entire continental plate would crack and be submerged in the ocean, right?" "Even... harnessing the power of the Great Dao to destroy a world, it''s not impossible, is it?" Su Xing took a deep breath, as Blue Star, in a strict sense, was already almost the size of a Minor Thousand Worlds. And Cultivators at the Profound Immortal Realm already possess the strength to destroy a Minor Thousand World! As for ordinary small worlds... due to their fragile space, it is likely that a True Immortal Realm Cultivator could destroy them... Just as Su Xing was immersed in the surge of his newfound strength, he felt a new power emerging within him. The rise in his Qi Refining Cultivation had come! True Immortal Realm First Layer... True Immortal Realm Second Layer... True Immortal Realm Third Layer! Su Xing''s cultivation level surged up to the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm before finally coming to a halt. Feeling the surging momentum and the Mana raging within him, Su Xing took another deep breath, excitement flashing in his eyes. "From the first layer to mid-stage of the third layer of the True Immortal Realm... the thickness of my Mana has increased by at least forty percent!" "Indeed, the further you go... the bigger the difference between realms!" Without Su Xing''s solid foundation and various fortunes, achieving Profound Immortal Realm combat strength in the True Immortal Realm would be like a fool''s dream! After all, cultivation level is the foundation of everything! Having adapted to the explosive increase of Mana within, Su Xing nodded satisfactorily. "A True Immortal Realm third layer cultivation level, for now, should suffice!" "At least, later when supplying Mana for the Luo Tian Mirror... I won''t have to worry about the danger of my realm falling!" After this simulation, both Su Xing''s Body Refinement and Qi Refinement cultivations improved, steping onto a new level. "So... it''s time to plan for the next simulation!" Su Xing contemplated. Next, he planned to fully enhance his Body Refinement Cultivation Level! From entering the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision to reaching Perfection of the fourth layer, there are three bottlenecks. And each layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision requires six hundred thousand points of Origin Energy Source, totaling one million and eight hundred thousand points to reach Perfection... That''s nine hundred thousand points cheaper than enhancing Qi Refining Cultivation. Therefore, Su Xing decided to prioritize enhancing his Body Refinement Cultivation. "However, even one million and eight hundred thousand points of Origin Energy Source isn''t a small amount for me!" Su Xing felt a bit helpless; as his cultivation level got higher, the energy needed for each realm surged. But the speed at which Su Xing obtained Origin Energy Source was comparatively very limited. "Currently, I have about 360,000 points of Origin Energy Source on hand, still a full one million five hundred thousand points away from 1.8 million..." "This one million five hundred thousand points of Origin Energy Source... in the next month, Wanjin Pavilion can provide more than enough." "But that''s only enough to ensure the enhancement of my Body Refinement Cultivation... what should I do if I want to choose other rewards?" "Even with these Origin Energy Sources, how will I provide for the Profound Immortal Realm energy in the future?" Su Xing felt some anxiety in his heart; once the energy supply was insufficient, the speed of his future strength enhancement would inevitably plummet, this clearly wasn''t what Su Xing wanted to see. After pondering for a long time, Su Xing sighed deeply and said: "The only solution now, is to try to find other materials that contain a lot of energy, and figure out a way to earn more Spirit Stones..." After planning in his mind, Su Xing began to disguise and conceal his presence. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Moments later, Su Xing transformed into a scholarly swordsman appearance, appearing to be in his thirties, with a white jade and long sword at his waist, his demeanor quite extraordinary. "Hmm, aside from Su Ye... I need other identities!" "This identity... will now be named Ye Tian!" "As for the displayed cultivation level? The early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm... seems barely acceptable?" With one step, Su Xing utilized the power of space and appeared thousands of miles away in an instant. Next, Su Xing took out a top-grade Immortal Treasure long sword, stood on the flying sword, and flew towards Little Qingyun City! That''s right, Su Xing''s target was Qingyun City! Qingyun City is far from White Emperor City, more than tens of millions of miles. Thus, the commerce between White Emperor City and Little Qingyun City is relatively independent, and the influence of Earth Immortal Bai Xuan doesn''t reach here. But Qingyun City, being one of the most bustling Cultivator cities in the Little Qingyun Realm, certainly has plenty of goods. Su Xing planned to shop in Qingyun City, to see if he could find other substitute metals. With Su Xing''s current Escape Speed, while concealing his true strength, he could reach Qingyun City in just three short days. ... Three days later, on the 27th of February, Su Xing smoothly arrived at Qingyun City. Outside Qingyun City, Su Xing retracted his flying sword and calmly entered the city. The scenery inside Qingyun City was somewhat different from that of White Emperor City. White Emperor City is a gathering place for Loose Cultivators, and thus it''s filled with bold and freedom-seeking Cultivators, occasionally leading to fierce fights and chaotic scenes among Cultivators. But Qingyun City is quite different! The Cultivators in this city are either external disciples of Qingyun Sect, or families of external disciples or some disciple... Chapter 984 - 348: Hong Yun Shows Off, Wildly Earns Four Million Origin Energy Source!_2 Or perhaps he is the person in charge of Qingyun Sect''s business interests in this city, or part of his family. In any case, they all have some connection with Qingyun Sect. Even the most distant relation would be Loose Cultivators wanting to join Qingyun Sect, living in this city, and participating in the entrance exams held every few years. Therefore, the cultivators here are more disciplined and restrained, often avoiding conflicts. However, some cultivation resources are quite expensive in Qingyun City. Su Xing wandered around the city for a while, his face showing surprise: "It''s strange, this Qingyun City is so prosperous, it seems to have more than twice the number of cultivators than White Emperor City?" As soon as Su Xing finished speaking, the voice of a stall vendor reached his ears: "Is this Daoist friend from out of town? The Qingyun Sect''s recruitment event happens every few years and is about to start soon... so there are many Loose Cultivators and talents arriving!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing turned to look at the speaking vendor. At the peak of Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation level, the stall was filled with Demonic Beast materials and Spirit Plants and Medicines. Could it be a Loose Cultivator preparing to join Qingyun Sect? Doing business here on the side to earn some cultivation resources? Su Xing nodded kindly to him and then asked: "Daoist friend, do you know where would be suitable to purchase some items?" The Loose Cultivator replied: "Inside Qingyun City, the largest store would naturally be Qingyun Pavilion... Not only can you find ordinary cultivation items there, but occasionally there are also great items coming from Qingyun Realm!" "Of course, the prices at Qingyun Pavilion are a bit high. If you are patient, you could stroll through the nearby markets." "Many Loose Cultivators set up stalls here, perhaps you could find some treasures you like?" Hearing this, Su Xing glanced around. On both sides of the cobblestone roads, were stalls of vendors, stretching out at least ten miles in length! Su Xing estimated that there must be tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators with stalls here! "Hmm..." This Loose Cultivator''s words were indeed a reminder to Su Xing. "Right! There is no need to only go to big trading houses... among these small stalls, there might also be many valuable treasures?" "Trading with big trading houses aside, buying things here might also earn a lot of energy?" With this thought, Su Xing swept his Divine Sense across the stalls around him. At the same time, Su Xing continuously monitored the energy content of the products, streams of data flickering before his eyes. After a short while, Su Xing did indeed find several good items. Su Xing approached the vendor who had spoken to him earlier and casually picked a few items. A pitch-black stone, half of a broken jade butterfly, and a slightly damaged small fan. Su Xing casually inquired: "Daoist friend, how much are these three items worth?" The Divinity Transformation stall vendor glanced at them and said: "That stone for ten medium-grade Spirit Stones, the jade butterfly for thirty medium-grade Spirit Stones... and the fan for thirty-eight medium-grade Spirit Stones..." "If you take them all, I will charge you seventy medium-grade Spirit Stones..." The Divinity Transformation vendor clearly saw through Su Xing''s intentions, buying these worn and tattered items from a street stall... isn''t that just like the so-called "treasure hunters" from the rumors? There are always some people who believe they are born extraordinary, the Sons of Destiny, who think that any old rubbish they buy from a stall could be ancient treasures. Or perhaps that the treasures contain an Artifact Spirit, some old master or something... This type of person, the Divinity Transformation vendor has seen too many in a thousand years! Thus, he did not expose Su Xing, and the price was only slightly inflated, without any intention of cheating Su Xing out of a large sum. After hearing the price, Su Xing nodded slightly, three items for seventy medium-grade Spirit Stones was not too expensive. So Su Xing casually threw down seven High-grade Spirit Stones and left the stall, heading towards the next one. At the same time, Su Xing had a thought, and a prompt sounded in his ear: [Ding, detected items containing energy, worth 312 Origin Energy Point, do you want to absorb?] "Yes!" Su Xing decisively said. "Tsks, seven High-grade Spirit Stones for three hundred Origin Energy Points... that''s really a fortune!" Su Xing was in a very good mood, such a profit from earning energy was much higher than when he bought Low Rank Alien Metals! The only regret was that Su Xing could not obtain energy on a large and stable scale... Buying from these small vendors was, after all, in lesser quantities and more cumbersome. Even so, Su Xing was not willing to give up this opportunity to earn a little extra. In the next four days, Su Xing continued to sweep through Qingyun City, traveling among the various vendors. However, to Su Xing''s surprise, this activity really brought him a substantial amount of Origin Energy! ... Time came to March 3, 2026 of the New Era. This was supposed to be Su Xing''s day for simulation, but this time he chose not to simulate immediately and continued to purchase goods in Qingyun City. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. That day, Su Xing looked at the Origin Energy Points on the Simulation Panel. "503,768 Origin Energy Points! In just four days, I have obtained more than one hundred and forty thousand Origin Energy Points!" Su Xing stared at the energy on the simulation panel, still somewhat in disbelief for a moment! "Tsks... my luck is simply too good!" "No, it should be said... Fortune Talent is really against the heavens!" Su Xing did a quick calculation. In just these short four days, Su Xing was able to find hundred of items containing Origin Energy on average per day! The value ranged from a dozen energy points for a single item... to several thousand points! During the four days, the biggest leak Su Xing picked up was a damaged jade pendant worth eight thousand Origin Energy Points, which he bought for ten High-grade Spirit Stones! That jade pendant was indeed extraordinary, Su Xing estimated that it was likely part of the remnant of some High-grade Immortal Treasure, still containing some residual consciousness inside. Chapter 985 - 348: Vast Fortune Shows Its Power, Madly Earns 4 Million Origin Energy Source!_3 But such treasures still couldn''t catch Su Xing''s eye. Su Xing couldn''t be bothered to repair them and simply converted them directly into Origin Energy Source. "Tsk tsk, four days'' time, spending less than ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones, yet earning one hundred and forty thousand Origin Energy Source, it''s truly a huge profit!" Su Xing was in a good mood, muttering to himself: "That ten-mile market, I''ve only browsed less than one-fifth of it, if I finished the entire place, wouldn''t I be able to get a million energy?" Su Xing was calculating in his mind, his smile increasingly hard to conceal. "Luck Talent, it really is sought after!" Su Xing smacked his lips, today he wasn''t planning to simulate, but rather to save up until two to three weeks later, when he had enough energy to simulate again. At the same time, Su Xing also planned to take a trip to Qingyun Pavilion! "Qingyun Pavilion, there must also be quite a few energy-containing resources... Even if the cost-effectiveness isn''t as good as those three minerals, it''s worth buying!" Su Xing thought so and then headed in the direction of Qingyun Pavilion. After entering Qingyun Pavilion, Su Xing began searching everywhere for items with valuable energy. In the end, Su Xing indeed found two kinds! A special metal called black gold, a fist-sized piece priced at 100 High-grade Spirit Stones but containing as many as ten Origin Energy Source points! Another was called Tri-Sun Metal, a piece priced at 300 High-grade Spirit Stones, containing 20 points of Origin Energy Source! Su Xing directly spent five million High-grade Spirit Stones and bought ten thousand pieces of Tri-Sun Metal and twenty thousand pieces of black gold from Qingyun Pavilion. After converting them into Origin Energy Source, Su Xing accumulated a profit of four hundred thousand Origin Energy Source! Of course, the two types of metal ores inside Qingyun Pavilion were basically purchased by Su Xing. At the same time, Su Xing also sold two thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers and three books of Divine Skills related to swordsmanship to Qingyun Pavilion. He earned ten million High-grade Spirit Stones, providing for future expenses. Every step Su Xing took was carefully designed. His alias, "Ye Tian," possessed early Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation. With the cultivation of Heavenly Immortal Realm, a transaction of ten million High-grade Spirit Stones would not attract evildoers. After all, cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm was enough to protect such wealth. After the transaction ended, the amount of Origin Energy Source in Su Xing''s hands reached nine hundred thousand and some! But Su Xing didn''t rush to simulate, instead continued to scavenge for deals in Qingyun City''s marketplace, buying some trinkets from the stalls every day, earning Origin Energy Source. On average, Su Xing could almost scavenge hundreds of energy-containing materials every day, worth over thirty thousand Origin Energy Source! ... In the blink of an eye, half a month passed! The date came to the 17th of March. Su Xing looked at the Origin Energy Source on the Simulation Panel, and the corner of his mouth couldn''t help but rise. "Close to one million five hundred thousand Origin Energy Source!" "It''s all worth the hard work of this little under a month!" Su Xing blinked, he had virtually visited every stall in the ten-mile market over the last half month. One could say that almost all items containing energy had fallen into Su Xing''s hands. He spent only about more than two hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones to have such an impressive gain! "Tsk tsk, the accumulated Origin Energy Source is almost there, counting the days... White Emperor City should have also gathered a lot of goods by now?" Su Xing estimated that including the goods from White Emperor City, his energy would exceed three million! With such a vast sum of capital, Su Xing had enough to simulate several times at once! "Currently, I have accumulated three chances to simulate...The next simulation opportunity is on the 24th of March, I must hurry back before that day to simulate early, otherwise it would be wasted..." Reluctantly looking back at the ten-mile market behind him, Su Xing muttered: "Qingyun Sect will start recruiting in less than three months... There will still be many merchants coming to the market!" "Coming back in a month or two might harvest another wave of energy!" Thinking this way, Su Xing left Qingyun City satisfied and rushed towards White Emperor City. Three more days passed. The date came to the 20th of March, and Su Xing successfully returned to White Emperor City. During this time, Su Xing changed his identity and reverted to Su Ye''s appearance. Afterward, Su Xing went to Vast Fortune Pavilion and found his business partner Bai Xuan. As expected, after almost a month''s time, Bai Xuan had already acquired a lot of the three metals. Inside Vast Fortune Pavilion, Bai Xuan still had that appearance of being depleted, smilingly said: "Brother Su, these days my legs are almost broken from all the running!" "I''ve utilized all my connections... I''ve gathered all the iron essence, fire copper, and spirit iron from numerous cities within a million miles radius!" "This time''s quantity, you will definitely be satisfied!" Saying so, Bai Xuan took out a small bag from his waist and spilled out more than ten storage rings on the table! Seeing this, Su Xing''s eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "Don''t worry, Brother Bai!" "As long as the requirements are met... You won''t lack for Spirit Stones!" Saying this, Su Xing extended his Divine Sense into the Storage Rings to check the goods. Although he had been prepared, seeing the quantity of goods still surprised Su Xing. Inside the ten-plus Storage Rings, there were a total of over one hundred million iron essence, more than fifty million fire copper, and nearly ten million spirit iron! Such a quantity naturally couldn''t be mined in only a month. It must be that Bai Xuan had managed to purchase all the goods accumulated by other cities over hundreds of years. Thus, Su Xing paid ten million High-grade Spirit Stones in deposit and the difference to buy all three metals from Bai Xuan. A thought crossed Su Xing''s mind, and the Simulator''s alert sounded in his ear. Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding, detected a large quantity of energy-containing materials, worth a total of 2,483,657 points of Origin Energy Source, do you wish to absorb?] Chapter 986 - 348: Vast Fortune Shows Its Power, Making a Crazy 4 Million Origin Energy Source!_4 Su Xing decisively thought to himself: "Yes!" As a massive amount of three types of metals vanished, Su Xing''s Origin Energy Source also surged to over four million points! "Goodness, four million points of Origin Energy Source! Should be enough for my Grand Witch Body Refining Decision to step into the fifth level, right?" Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing couldn''t help but feel excited in his heart, this trip to the Little Qingyun Realm was truly worthwhile! In just over two months, Su Xing had earned four to five million points of Origin Energy Source! With a smile on his face, Su Xing said to Bai Xuan in front of him: "Brother Bai, our previous agreement still stands!" "I''ll buy whatever quantity of these three types of minerals you have!" "I''ll be in closed-door cultivation for some time... I''ll have to trouble you with the trading matters!" Saying this, Su Xing took out five million High-grade Spirit Stones as a deposit and handed them to Bai Xuan. Bai Xuan was naturally overjoyed, the Spirit Stones he made from trading with Su Xing in just one month equaled more than a hundred years of his hard work! So Bai Xuan laughed and nodded: "Hahaha, Su Brother, sure thing!" ... After putting on a show with Bai Xuan again, Su Xing returned to his cave dwelling, making sure that the Prohibition had not been tampered with, Su Xing then entered the Spirit Field Cave with peace of mind, ready to begin the simulation! Inside the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing brewed himself a pot of tea, and relished: "Tsks, accumulated three simulation opportunities! And after four days, there will be another simulation opportunity!" "The time has come for a huge rise in my cultivation level!" Su Xing''s heart moved, and he thought to himself: "Begin simulation!" [Simulation No. 128 initiated, remaining Origin Energy Source 4,014,399 points... 2 simulation attempts remaining.] [Simulation starting!] [Drawing the Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, do you wish to draw?] Su Xing pondered for a moment, and did not choose to draw a new Talent, but picked a Talent he had previously drawn. The Gold Talent, Blood Sacrifice Artifact! Spending several points of Origin Energy Source, Su Xing successfully drew this Gold Talent from the prize pool, and then Su Xing prepared to start the simulation! [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent Blood Sacrifice Artifact... Simulation beginning!] [In the Spirit Field Cave, you are aware that you are simulating!] [After spending half a month in the Little Qingyun Realm, you decide to sell the intelligence about Blue Star and Red Moon to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [Upon acquiring this intelligence, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion reassures you to wait, as they will verify the truth of the information.] [In the meantime, you returned to Blue Star first, exterminated the Descending Sect, and seized their Treasure Vault.] [Afterwards, you start constructing a cave dwelling inside the Spirit Field Cave, preparing the migration of the Blue Star Human Race...] [In the blink of an eye, two years passed, during which you traveled back and forth between Blue Star and Little Qingyun Realm numerous times, relocating most of the common people and some Profession Users from Great Xia Country to the vicinity of White Emperor City.] [In the third year, you receive a communication from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, preparing to bring two Taiyi Golden Immortals to Blue Star.] [After taking the two Taiyi Golden Immortals to the Endless Abyss, you continue to work hard on relocating the population of Blue Star.] [By the fifth year, the civilians from Great Xia Country and some other countries on Blue Star completed their migration smoothly, setting up a new country in the Little Qingyun Realm, named after Xia.] [In the following years, you taught some Cultivation Techniques and provided some resources to the civilians of Great Xia Country.] [After doing all this, you found Immortal Ziling without any guilt, and through her, you entered Qingyun Sect.] [On Three Immortals Peak, you successfully traded with Qing Yunzi...] [After obtaining the Enlightenment Tea, you did not hesitate and went straight to Nine Heavens Domain...] Chapter 987 - 349: Simulating Five Hundred Years, Su Xings Realm Decline? In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly. "Next, it''s time to collect the core stones from Void Beasts and comprehend the various Great Daos!" "This simulation will focus on enhancing Body Refinement Cultivation Level... aiming to elevate the Body Refinement Cultivation Level to the peak of the Fourth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision within three simulation opportunities!" Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued: "And the refinement of Immortal Treasures must also be put on the agenda!" "A half-step Acquired Treasure, although not bad... but it already lacks advantages in the Profound Immortal Realm, if I can manage to refine an Acquired Treasure in one fell swoop, that would be more than enough!" Su Xing chose to sacrifice his talent to the ritual tool because he naturally wanted to re-refine the Ink Ice Sword. With Su Xing''s current skills, if he finds suitable materials, there''s no reason why he couldn''t elevate the Ink Ice Sword to the level of an Acquired Treasure. By then, Su Xing''s combat power would further improve! "However, before that, let''s first collect treasures in the Nine Heavens!" Su Xing looked forward with some anticipation; his Fortune Talent previously uncovered many Supreme Treasures, so he hoped not to be disappointed this time! Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the Simulation Panel. [After some preparation, you spent two and a half years to reach the Third Layer of the Nine Heavens Domain!] [In the past, you obtained numerous treasures in this layer, including the core stones of Void Beasts, as well as Zhou Mountain Stone and the tail feathers of the Azure Phoenix, among other treasures.] [And you recorded their locations, so upon arriving at the Third Layer, you headed straight to those Secret Realms.] [In just ten years, you gathered all those treasures into your possession.] [Over a hundred Void Beast core stones... as well as Zhou Mountain Stone and the tail feathers of the Azure Phoenix!] [In the eighteenth year, you continued to explore the Secret Realms within the Third Layer, and with your Fortune Talent, you made finds every one and a half years or so.] [You either discovered the lair of Void Beasts or uncovered some rather impressive ancient treasures; the rewards were bountiful.] [In the blink of an eye, another thirty-two years passed...] [In the fiftieth year, after more than thirty years of exploration, you found another two to three dozen Secret Realms, and gained numerous Dao Essence treasures, some of which were suitable materials for Artifact Refining.] [However, what made you a bit helpless was that, the limit of treasures within the Third Layer was not very high after all, and you did not discover the kind of treasures that truly excited you.] [And when seeking materials suitable for sacrificing to refine the Ink Ice Sword, you were limited by the materials'' insufficient grades, unable to refine them into a true Acquired Treasure.] [Therefore, after much consideration, you decided to explore the Fourth Layer.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly after seeing this. "The Fourth Layer is still the home ground for Profound Immortal cultivators and certain Profound Immortal Demonic Beasts..." "But those who can enter the Fourth Layer possess even more extraordinary strength... at least the ones with mid-stage Profound Immortal Realm strength can barely keep their lives there!" Su Xing mulled over the information about the Nine Heavens. The First, Second, and Third Layers are known as the Lower Three Layers, relatively safer. But stepping into the Fourth Layer meant entering the Middle Three Layers! Unlike the Lower Three Layers, in the Middle Three Layers, there exists the dread of Void Sword Qi Barrier! Void Sword Qi Barrier is a phenomenon even more terrifying than the chaos of The Void... Only those who have spent a long time in the Profound Immortal Realm and also have exceptional Physical Bodies can step into the Fourth Layer. And with Su Xing''s current Cultivation Level, he could totally achieve it! "Then, let''s explore the Fourth Layer... perhaps, I can find the materials needed to sacrifice and refine the Ink Ice Sword!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s eyes returned to the Simulation Panel. [You erected your Body-Protecting Sword Aura, securing your protection, then took a step and appeared a thousand miles away, heading towards the direction of the Fourth Layer.] [Using your Divine Skills to flash through the earth like golden light, it took you only several months to reach the border between the Third and Fourth Layers.] [Here, the fearsome Void Sword Qi Barrier exists that can make even Immortals lose their courage!] [This Sword Qi Barrier could erode Physical Bodies and Divine Souls, rapidly depleting Mana. Those without profound foundations and strength above the mid-stage Profound Immortal Realm would find it impossible to get through.] [Though your Cultivation Level is only that of a True Immortal, your physical strength is remarkably formidable.

[Seeing this, you couldn''t help but shudder with apprehension; if it wasn''t for the Body-Protecting Sword Aura, even the Physical Body of the Fourth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision might not last long...] [Fortunately, you safely crossed through the Void Sword Qi Barrier and successfully reached the Fourth Layer!] [Right as you stepped into the Fourth Layer, you immediately felt the Dao Essence here was more abundant, and danger lurked everywhere.] [The unpredictable Void Sword Qi Barrier swept past you a mere ten meters away.] [You frowned slightly; in the Fourth Layer, apart from dealing with Demonic Beasts, Void Beasts, and the mists within Secret Realms... this fearsome Void Sword Qi Barrier is also a significant threat!] [Although your strength is formidable, you still have to be cautious in the Fourth Layer, as careful as possible.] [In a blink of an eye, five years passed, during which you familiarized yourself with the dangers of the Fourth Layer and identified some Secret Realms'' locations.] [After making thorough preparations, you began to attempt exploring the Secret Realms...] [You entered the first Secret Realm, and as soon as you stepped in, a stabbing pain came from your brow.] Chapter 988 - 349: Simulating Five Hundred Years, Su Xings Realm Drops?_2 ``` [As expected, within the perception of your Divine Sense, this Secret Realm contains a Void Beast with a strength comparable to the mid-Phenomenal Immortal Realm!] [Although it is troublesome, you are not without a fighting chance...] [But a confrontation between Profound Immortals can often last a year and a half, and in this dangerous Fourth Realm, this does not serve your interest.] [Therefore, you decide not to make a move for the time being, as even if you defeat this Void Beast, it may cost you a certain price.] [While the Void Beast is dozing off, you start looking for treasures within the Secret Realm...] [Thus, in the following decade or so, you explored several Secret Realms, reaping beyond your wildest dreams!] [Among them, what excites you the most is that you have found a Sword Stone!] [The Sword Stone, an Acquired Treasure, can be used to forge a Supreme Immortal Sword!] [With this Sword Stone in hand, you are confident that you can successfully elevate the Ink Ice Sword to the level of an Acquired Treasure!] [After obtaining the Sword Stone, you continue to explore the Fourth Realm as always, and successively acquired several Supreme Treasures.] [In the blink of an eye, another decade or so has passed.] [In the seventy-seventh year, you find a relatively safe Secret Realm and decide to start a closed-door cultivation breakthrough in this realm.] In the real world, Su Xing shows a smile on his face. "Really lucky! Even a treasure like the Sword Stone has been found by me!" "Indeed, the Nine Heavens Domain is fraught with danger... but the higher you go, the more abundant and precious the Supreme Treasures and Secret Realms become!" Su Xing simply treats the Nine Heavens Domain as a dungeon for farming artifacts and treasures... And the reason he can do so is naturally the boost from his Fortune Talent! If it were a common cultivator, even Profound or Golden Immortals, without sufficient luck, all they would find in the Nine Heavens Domain is endless danger! "Not bad at all, I even found the Sword Stone to refine the Ink Ice Sword... this time there is full confidence that the Ink Ice Sword can be promoted to the level of an Acquired Treasure!" "Perhaps... with the help of the Blood Sacrifice Talent, there is a slight possibility to upgrade it to a Mid-Grade Acquired Treasure?" Su Xing pondered for a moment. "However, right now, it''s still better to continue enhancing my Dao Comprehension!" Su Xing has a thought and silently recites: "Use Immersive Simulation for a duration of 63 years!" [Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation, spending 22,995 Origin Energy Points, with 3,991,402 Origin Energy Points remaining!] Following the simulation prompt, Su Xing enters the Simulated World. In the Fourth Realm, within a certain Secret Realm, Su Xing opens up a cavern, sets up multiple layers of Prohibition, and begins his comprehension of the great dao. "This simulation, I still mainly focus on comprehending the Dao of Space!" "But at the same time, the Speed Grand Dao also needs further enhancement! Ideally, I could go even further!" For Su Xing at this point, apart from the increase of strength, the most important thing is the enhancement of mobility! The improvement in both the Dao of Space and the Speed Grand Dao will grant Su Xing a higher Escape Speed. This allows Su Xing to venture even further, greatly reducing time and gaining more energy! For Su Xing, time and energy are everything! With this in mind, Su Xing takes out a tea kettle and starts to brew tea. After a short while, the first cup of Enlightenment Tea is ready. Su Xing takes a sip, holding several Void Beast core stones in his hand, and begins to comprehend the Dao of Space. ... Cultivation knows no years, and in the blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed, with the first cup of Enlightenment Tea consumed. Su Xing emerges from his state of comprehension, expressing satisfaction. "Not bad, I''m getting closer and closer to the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space!" "Next, I will continue to comprehend the Dao of Space!" Su Xing has made up his mind to bet all of his Enlightenment Tea on the comprehension of the Dao of Space! To go all-in is a kind of wisdom! ... As such, thirty-six years pass. Arriving at the 131st year of simulation, Su Xing emerges once again from his state of Enlightenment, nodding to himself after contemplating the progress he has made with the Dao of Space: "An entire fifty-four years, three cups of Enlightenment Tea drained... equivalent to thousands of years of comprehension!" "But there''s still some distance from the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space!" Su Xing mentally acknowledges the difficulty of reaching the Fourth Realm of any great dao. It''s not just average Profound Immortal cultivators who would find it challenging to step into the Fourth Realm; even those at the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm would find it extremely difficult. After all, the Fourth Realm of any great dao is an integration that only the power of a Golden Immortal can possess! "Tsk tsk, although it took more time than expected... if I can step into the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space, I would have means comparable to a Golden Immortal''s power!" "While it doesn''t greatly enhance my direct combat strength, the benefits it brings are indeed endless..." Su Xing estimates that, at the latest by the next Immersive Simulation, his comprehension of the Dao of Space will successfully step into the Fourth Realm! "But right now, there are still some Wen Dao Pills that I haven''t consumed!" Without hesitation, Su Xing begins to refine Enlightenment Pills. As Su Xing''s memory of pill refining gets more profound, although he hasn''t been able to refine the finest quality Enlightenment Pills, his Pill Success Rate has reached over ninety percent, with all being of normal quality. This time in Immersive Simulation, Su Xing sets aside nine Wen Dao Pills for refining, using one and leaving eight remaining. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing looks at the eight remaining Wen Dao Pills in his hand and murmurs: "These eight elixirs will all be used to grasp the Speed Grand Dao. I hope I can successfully step into the Second Realm of the Dao!" That said, Su Xing takes out a tail feather of the Azure Phoenix and, with the help of this Dao Essence treasure, begins to understand the Speed Grand Dao! In the blink of an eye, eight months pass. With the boost of the Wen Dao Pills, eight months of comprehension is equivalent to eight hundred years of study! And the Speed Grand Dao is not such a profound set of Great Dao Principles; Su Xing successfully steps into the Second Realm of the Dao, beginning to glimpse its mysteries. ``` Chapter 989 - 349: Simulating Five Hundred Years, Su Xings Realm Drops?_3 ``` ... The immersive simulation soon came to an end, and Su Xing returned to the real world. After casting the memory-divining divine skill, the sealed memories of Su Xing began to unlock. A moment later, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, I have successfully stepped into the Second Realm of the Dao of Speed! My escape speed has further improved!" "With my current escape speed, if I go all out on a journey, with the aid of the Dao of Space and the Dao of Speed, perhaps I can reach fifty million li a day?" This meant Su Xing''s personal travel speed was already comparable to that of the Star-Moon Shuttle, an Acquired Treasure of immense power! It wasn''t an exaggeration to say this surmounted the True Immortal Realm, and even rivaled the late stages of a Profound Immortal! However, navigating through The Void and traveling within the Great Thousand Worlds were ultimately different. If Su Xing recklessly exerted his full escape speed in The Void, it was unlikely he could maintain it for long. Once mana was excessively consumed, the loss would outweigh the gain! For long voyages lasting years or even decades, relying on an Immortal Boat was more reliable. "The Divine Skill of Golden Light Earth Traveling is still far from perfection... perhaps it will be possible to perfectly utilize it only when both the Dao of Space and the Dao of Speed reach the Fourth Realm!" Su Xing pondered for a moment, with his current escape speed. With the enhancement of both the Dao of Speed and the Dao of Space, controlling the Star-Moon Shuttle, it would probably take only five or six days to return from the Little Qingyun Realm to Blue Star, right? "Not bad, once my escape speed improves further, perhaps I can also explore other worlds!" Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze fell upon the simulation panel. [In the 140th year, your period of Enlightenment has concluded, yielding a rich harvest.] [But this time, you do not plan to leave the Nine Heavens Domain, instead choosing to cultivate right here!] [You take out the Repairing Hua, meticulously nurtured by Shennong Youtian, and begin the Grand Witch Body Refinement Technique.] [Time flies in cultivation, and before you know it, sixty years have passed!] [In the 200th year, although you spend only an hour each day on Qi Refinement, under the effect of the Zhengyi Submission Decision, your Cultivation Level still advances into the peak of True Immortal Third Layer.] [Greater progress is in your Body Refinement Cultivation Level!] [With the nourishment of the Repairing Hua, your vitality grows even more abundant...] [That terrifying regenerative ability slowly spreads from the superficial limbs to the internal organs...] [This means that not only is your physical defense unparalleled, allowing for quick recovery of external wounds, but now even internal injuries can heal rapidly...] [However, advancing the Grand Witch Body Refinement Technique to the Fourth Layer is a tedious and challenging endeavor. Despite taking a Repairing Hua every few years, reaching Minor Achievement in the Fourth Layer is still far off.] [Yet fortunately, there are fewer cultivators in the Fourth Layer of the Nine Heavens Domain, and a peculiar energy exists that seems to shield from Heavenly Secrets.] [You decide to continue cultivating here, willing to test if the Nine Heavens Domain can resist being probed by Qing Yunzi...] [In the blink of an eye, another thirty years pass by.] [In the 230th year, you successfully break through to the Fourth Layer, becoming a Mid-Stage Immortal!] [The mana within your body becomes even more profound, inexhaustible and vast like a great river...] [In the 300th year, your Body Refinement Cultivation takes another leap forward, edging ever closer to Minor Achievement in the Fourth Layer.] Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the same year, apart from ensuring progress in Body Refinement Cultivation, you spend more time collecting materials for refining the Ink Ice Sword!] [Thus, another fifty years pass by...] [In the 350th year, you officially attain Minor Achievement in the Fourth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refinement Technique!] [With your current regenerative power, even if you were to have limbs severed, you could swiftly recover in just three days.] [In the same year, you officially begin the process of refining the Ink Ice Sword!] Back in the real world, Su Xing nods slightly after seeing this. "The Grand Witch Body Refinement Technique has reached Minor Achievement in the Fourth Layer, so the first small goal has been achieved..." "Now, the only thing left is the forging of the Ink Ice Sword!" Su Xing''s conservative goal is to refine the Ink Ice Sword into a low-grade Acquired Treasure. His gaze fell on the simulation panel once more. [In the 351st year, you begin to reforge the Ink Ice Sword.] [With your current prowess in Artifact Refining, you are fully capable of creating Acquired Treasures, but since it''s your first attempt, you proceed with extra caution.] [The mere process of recasting the Ink Ice Sword takes up a full three years!] [Afterward, you spend another three years fusing materials such as Sword Trace Stone, incorporating them into the Ink Ice Sword.] [Time flies, and several years pass...] [In the 360th year, you finally complete the first step in refining the Ink Ice Sword; after adding treasures like Sword Trace Stone, the quality of the Ink Ice Sword has clearly improved, reaching the level of an Acquired Treasure.] [But the subsequent steps like polishing, grinding, and sword nourishing still require a lot of time.] [Thus, you spend another three years polishing and grinding the Ink Ice Sword...] [With that, the Ink Ice Sword is completely recast, capable of unleashing the power of an Acquired Treasure!] [But at this moment, the last and most critical step is required! Sword nourishing!] [Only by nourishing the sword with your essence, spirit, Sword Intent, and Origin Force, can its full power be unleashed, completely sharpening the Ink Ice Sword.] [Sword nourishing is also the most time-consuming step.] [You nourish the Ink Ice Sword daily with your essence, spirit, Origin Force, and mana, and as sixty years pass by...] [In the 420th year, the Ink Ice Sword is thoroughly refined, standing out even among low-grade Acquired Treasures!] [But you are still one final step away!] [To perform a blood sacrifice to the sword!] [Taking in a deep breath, you extract your Essence Blood, transforming it into a thin stream directed towards the Ink Ice Sword...] [As your Essence Blood touches the Ink Ice Sword, the blade emits a series of soft murmurs...] [This is, the Sword-sacrifice Talent taking effect!] [With the infusion of Essence Blood, you can clearly feel the Ink Ice Sword undergoing a transformation...] ``` Chapter 990 - 349: Simulating Five Hundred Years, Su Xings Realm Drops?_4 [But along with it, you also discovered that you had overlooked the side effects of losing Essence Blood!] [For any cultivator of any realm, Essence Blood is extremely important.] [Losing Essence Blood, at the least results in damage to the spirit, requiring a long recuperation; at worst, it causes a fall in Cultivation Level and can even damage the foundation!] [And using the Blood Sacrifice on the sword, the required amount of Essence Blood clearly exceeded your expectations...] [Your Qi Refining Cultivation plummeted from the Peak of the Fourth Layer of True Immortal, falling to the Middle Phase of the Fourth Layer... and eventually further falling to the Peak of the Third Layer of True Immortal!] [Just as you were about to lose resistance, the Ink Ice Sword emitted a light hum!] [Simultaneously, the quality of the Ink Ice Sword moved up a grade!] [Congratulations, you''ve successfully refined a medium-grade Acquired Treasure!] In the real world, Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief. "Decades of effort, finally weren''t in vain!" "A medium-grade Acquired Treasure... Such a treasure is probably only worthy of being possessed by a Golden Immortal, right?" Su Xing thought to himself, with the Ink Ice Sword, at least he won''t be at a disadvantage in terms of magical weapons until he reaches Taiyi Golden Immortal... But then Su Xing sighed again. "But the side effects of using blood sacrifice are truly severe!" "To fall a whole realm, from Mid-Stage True Immortal to Early-Stage True Immortal..." Su Xing smacked his lips, luckily he hadn''t planned to bring out his Qi Refining Cultivation in this simulation, only wished to bring out the Ink Ice Sword. Rounding up... that''s like getting an Acquired Treasure for free! "Besides, Qing Yunzi hasn''t come to find me until the four hundred twentieth year, it seems that the Nine Heavens Domain also has the capability to shield Heavenly Secrets..." Su Xing considered thoughtfully. The origins of the Nine Heavens Domain are mysterious; the highest two layers aren''t even dared to be easily entered by a Great Luo Golden Immortal. "It seems, later on, I can try hiding in the Nine Heavens Domain, perhaps I could also evade Qing Yunzi''s pursuit..." With this thought, Su Xing''s eyes turned towards the Simulation Panel. [After successfully refining the Ink Ice Sword into an Acquired Treasure, your Vital Energy drastically declined, and your Cultivation Level fell, forcing you to start recuperating from your injuries.] [In the next thirty years, you hid in the Secret Realms, conducting daily recuperation, and with the help of Luo Tian Mirror, planted some nourishing Spiritual Medicine to recover your body.] [In the four hundred fiftieth year, the side effects of the lost Essence Blood had mostly recovered, and your Cultivation Level also restored back to the Fourth Layer of True Immortal Realm.] [Just thirty years, and many of the side effects of the blood sacrifice were removed, related to your Talent and physique.] [If a common True Immortal faced such a calamity, it would probably take thousands of years to recover Vital Energy.] [But the rich vitality within you allows you to compensate for the loss in a short period, and with enough great nourishing items, enabled your swift recovery.] [After the majority of the aftermath of the blood sacrifice recovered, you continued to hide in the Secret Realms of the Fourth Layer, cultivating.] [Your practice of Grand Witch Body Refining Decision continued to advance.] [Before you knew it, another fifty years passed.] [In the five hundredth year, one day, your Golden Talent for fortune-telling brought you a premonition...] [The next day, Qing Yunzi found you.] [By then, Qing Yunzi had already been devoured by an Evil Corpse, his face grinning at you, taunting that you were too weak, hiding only in the Fourth Layer. If you had hidden a few layers higher, perhaps he really couldn''t find you.] [Qing Yunzi performed a Soul Search on you...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended...] After the simulation ended, a hint of surprise flashed across Su Xing''s face. "So I''m still found by Qing Yunzi? But... this time, the simulation lasted for five hundred years, breaking the record once again!" It''s known, that the Nine Heavens Domain is very close to the Qingyun Realm! The longest simulation Su Xing had before was just four hundred seventy years, and that was already Su Xing hiding in hundreds of other worlds... S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But Nine Heavens Domain is close to the Qingyun Realm, it should have been found by Qing Yunzi very quickly by logic. But the reality was, Qing Yunzi only found Su Xing in the five hundredth year! "This means... the shielding ability of the Nine Heavens Domain against Heavenly Secrets is stronger than I imagined!" "That makes sense, as the Nine Heavens Domain is suspected to be an ancient battlefield, it is not surprising that it also has this ability along with the whole Three Thousand Worlds!" However, what made Su Xing more surprised was the words Qing Yunzi said before killing him. If he had hidden in a higher layer of the Nine Heavens, perhaps Qing Yunzi truly couldn''t have found him! Thinking this, Su Xing murmured: "When my strength is stronger, I should take a look at the Fifth Layer of Heaven..." "Besides heading to the Heavenly Secrets Domain, the Nine Heavens will also be a good hiding spot... although the Nine Heavens Domain is full of dangers, if not careful, perhaps one could die from the dangers within?" After a pause, Su Xing felt he was thinking too much, hence said: "But right now, the most important thing is to look at the rewards of this simulation!" Su Xing''s eyes shifted to the reward list of this simulation. [Blood Sacrifice]: Gold Talent, priced at 10 Points of Origin Energy. [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Minor Achievement of Fourth Layer]: Ancient Witch Clan Refinement Technique, reaching the Fourth Layer allows regrowth of severed limbs, continuous surge of Qi and Blood, great increase in stamina, Minor Achievement of the Fourth Layer is comparable to the Mid-Stage True Immortal Cultivation, priced at 600 Thousand Origin Energy. [True Immortal Realm, Fourth Layer Cultivation]: Passing the three calamities of an Immortal, achieving True Immortal, the Great Dao is attainable, life-span reaching a Yuanhui! Priced at 300 Thousand Origin Energy! [Zhou Mountain Stone]: Stones from the ancient divine mountain, Bu Zhou Mountain, a single stone''s weight comparable to mountains and rivers, perfect material for refining the Overturning Heaven Seal, also an excellent treasure for comprehending the Dao of Strength and The Great Dao of Earth, priced at 200 Thousand Origin Energy. [Ink Ice Sword]: Created by the cultivator Su Xing, reforged multiple times, comparable to a medium-grade Acquired Treasure, now possessing the potential to challenge the Supreme Treasure rankings, priced at 500 Thousand Origin Energy. Chapter 991 - 350 Golden Talent, Epiphany of Inevitability! This simulation proceeded methodically. Although not many places were explored, the rewards Su Xing obtained were far from few. Aside from the Dao Comprehension he already took with him, Su Xing''s Body Refinement and Qi Refinement Cultivation Levels both improved, and what Su Xing was most looking forward to, the Ink Ice Sword was refined into a mid-rank Acquired Supreme Treasure! "Tsk tsk, the Ink Ice Sword now possesses the potential to be listed on the Supreme Treasure Ranking?" Su Xing was surprised and delighted. As mentioned before, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, in addition to setting up a ranking for prodigies, also had a Supreme Treasure Ranking! The ranking included both innate and acquired treasures, which were cultivated by heaven and earth and had their own independent listings. And all weapons and magical treasures forged by cultivators were listed separately in the Supreme Treasure Ranking, taking the top three hundred! All weapons listed on the Supreme Treasure Ranking had to be at least at the level of Acquired Treasures and needed to have recorded distinguished achievements in the hands of their users. "Hmm, with the current quality of the Ink Ice Sword, getting into the top three hundred of the Supreme Treasure Ranking should be feasible." "What''s lacking is just an opportunity for it to become famous!" The so-called opportunity to become famous naturally meant Su Xing personally taking action, using the Ink Ice Sword to slay powerful enemies, and the magical treasure would naturally become famous. "But for now, let''s choose the rewards first!" Su Xing did not hesitate. The Body Refinement Cultivation Level was his target this time, so it was natural to take it out. And the Ink Ice Sword, which he had spent so much effort in refining, cost 500,000 Origin Energy Source points, though expensive, Su Xing was determined to have it! "I choose to take out the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision''s Fourth Layer Minor Achievement Cultivation Level, and the Ink Ice Sword!" [Congratulations on successfully taking out the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision''s Fourth Layer Minor Achievement Cultivation Level, costing 600,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source balance 3,391,402 points...] [Congratulations on successfully taking out the Acquired Supreme Treasure Ink Ice Sword... costing 500,000 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source balance 2,891,402 points...] In the blink of an eye, more than a million Origin Energy Source points were spent, Su Xing''s heart was bleeding. But fortunately, all of it was worth it! The first thing Su Xing felt, naturally, was the change in his Cultivation Level! In just the span of a few breaths, Su Xing''s physical body strength, recovery ability, and Vital Qi and Blood all had dramatic increases! From the novice to Minor Achievement of the Fourth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Su Xing''s pure physical strength had probably increased by about threefold... And the increase in strength was just an added bonus, the real significant gains for Su Xing were the growth in Vital Qi and Blood and recovery ability! After reaching the Minor Achievement in the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, it can be said that as long as Su Xing''s head isn''t chopped off or his heart crushed, his Physical Body would not be destroyed. Even if he were to have his limbs chopped off, he could recover in an extremely short amount of time. "Tsk tsk, but even if the Physical Body is destroyed, with my current Divine Soul I wouldn''t completely die... only my strength would be reduced to less than one percent in the soul out-of-body state..." Su Xing estimated that his current strength could no longer be described as moving mountains and rivers. Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although it was only Minor Achievement of the Fourth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Su Xing''s foundation was solid, coupled with the profoundness of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision. Even ordinary Body Cultivation Profound Immortal Cultivators would not have strength comparable to Su Xing! "Tsk tsk, if compared to the world I came from before traveling through... with one punch of mine, I would have the power to shatter stars, right?" Su Xing estimated that with his current strength, if he were to strike some minor planet, the entire planet would probably shatter apart. "But then again, the Three Thousand Worlds after all are different from the universe in my previous life... An ordinary minor planet, probably can''t even be considered a world, it would merely count as a Half Plane, right?" Su Xing made a mental comparison. Taking Earth from his previous life as an example, it still had a significant gap compared to his mother star Blue Star which he had traveled to. Earth''s diameter is less than 13,000 kilometers, about 25,000 li. But now, Blue Star''s, to say nothing of the entire world, even the distance from the southern to northern border of the Great Xia Country is much more than 30,000 li? Su Xing estimated that if one were really to go by the size of the world, Earth could only be considered on the level of a Minor Thousand Worlds. And Blue Star, with a diameter dozens of times that of Earth and a volume tens of thousands of times greater... could barely be considered a Minor Thousand Worlds at best, right? "Golden Immortals possess the ability to destroy a Minor Thousand Worlds in a short period of time..." "But if Profound Immortals were to fight, and fight long enough, it would also be enough to wear away a Minor Thousand Worlds..." Su Xing murmured. His current strength could also be considered to have world-destroying capabilities... But within the vast expanse of the Three Thousand Worlds, it was still not enough! "In any case, the increase in strength... is always good!" Just at this moment, Su Xing felt a change in the Ink Ice Sword. He saw the previously dormant Ink Ice Sword emit dazzling light; although its shape did not change much, the weight in his hand had significantly increased. At the same time, the sword''s captivating black color also made Su Xing somewhat emotional. Between breaths, the Ink Ice Sword had completed its upgrade, jumping from a near Acquired Supreme Treasure to a mid-rank Acquired Supreme Treasure! At this level, in the entire Three Thousand Worlds, it was considered a noteworthy treasure, its value difficult to measure... Su Xing gently stroked the Ink Ice Sword in his hand, seemingly feeling the thrumming on its blade, and comfortingly said: "Wait a little longer... soon it will be the day you manifest!" After Su Xing finished speaking, the Ink Ice Sword hummed softly, seemingly responding to Su Xing. Immortal Swords have spirits, and although the Artifact Spirit of the Ink Ice Sword had just been born recently, its rank was still extremely high, its foundation not weaker than ordinary Acquired Supreme Treasures. "Now it seems, although I only have True Immortal cultivation... my strength can also barely rank among Profound Immortals!" "Next, I can try competing for that Earth Ranking!" Prior to this, Su Xing had not competed for the top spot on the Earth Ranking. Not because he lacked the strength, but due to considering the risks... Meeting with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master made Su Xing somewhat anxious; if the Simulator was discovered, he might face great disaster. Chapter 992 - 350 Golden Talent, Epiphany of Inevitability!_2 But after acquiring the Luo Tian Mirror, Su Xing changed his mind. The Luo Tian Mirror is such a supreme treasure, yet its status is suppressed by the Simulator; it''s probably hard for cultivators in the Three Thousand Worlds to discover such a treasure as the Simulator. Therefore, risk eliminated... "Apart from that, if I can meet with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, perhaps I can resolve Qing Yunzi''s crisis? After all, he is known as the one who can calculate everything!" Su Xing set his target. Since he wanted to meet with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, then he must secure the top position of the Earth Rankings. Cultivators on the Earth Rankings are on par with True Immortals, Profound Immortals... Although that''s the case, Su Xing estimated that the vast majority who could ascend to the Earth Rankings would be Profound Immortals. Perhaps there would be three to five True Immortals with extraordinary talents who could rank at the tail end of the Earth Rankings... "Even possibly, those ranked at the front of the Earth Rankings, might they have the power of Golden Immortals?" Pausing for a moment, a determined look flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. "Nevertheless, no matter what, I''ve got to give that top position on the Earth Rankings a try!" Su Xing made his plan quickly. He still had two simulation opportunities left, enough to take his power to the next level! "Just under three million Origin Energy Source left... the goal, is still to further enhance Body Refinement Cultivation Level!" "And the Dao of Space, it''s time to step into the Fourth Realm!" Su Xing mumbled, then looked towards the Simulation Panel and silently said: "Begin simulation!" [Simulation number 129 commences, remaining Origin Energy Source 2,891,402 points... remaining simulation opportunities 1 time.] [Simulation starts!] [To extract the Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, do you wish to extract?] "Yes!" Su Xing did not hesitate. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent of Inevitability of Comprehension... Next chance of extracting a Golden Talent is 80%...] "Hmm? Inevitability of Comprehension?" Su Xing was momentarily stunned; he remembered that he had a Purple Talent, Chance Comprehension! Which allows Su Xing to experience comprehension abilities periodically! One moment of comprehension is worth ten years of bitter cultivation... But since Su Xing had obtained the Enlightenment Tea and Wen Dao Pill, Chance Comprehension''s effect was no longer significant, and the probability was too low... But now, he has acquired a new talent, Inevitability of Comprehension, this surely is a superior replacement for the previous talent! Su Xing was overjoyed in his heart and looked at the introduction of this Talent. [Inevitability of Comprehension]: A Golden Talent, each simulation allows you to trigger a moment of comprehension at a fixed time, lasting one to nine days depending on luck, with each day''s comprehension equivalent to a hundred years of bitter cultivation. (This effect is related to the host''s own comprehension base but cannot stack with external items!) After seeing the new talent''s introduction, Su Xing raised his eyebrows. "Hmm? This Talent''s effect... seems pretty good!" "Do nothing, and at the very least gain a hundred years of insight, the highest is equivalent to nearly a thousand years of comprehension!" "Wait? It says here, the effect of the comprehension is related to the host''s own base comprehension?" Su Xing pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Even though it can''t stack with external items... it seems it can be stacked with the Great Talent Maturing Late!" "This means, after seventy-seven years, the guaranteed comprehension is two hundred years... the highest is equivalent to one thousand eight hundred years!" "Goodness, this is on par with the effect of a cup of Enlightenment Tea!" Su Xing exclaimed in satisfaction; perhaps this Talent might bring him unexpected gains! Thinking this, Su Xing looked forward to the Simulation Panel with expectations. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are simulating!] Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You leave the cave dwelling and head towards the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [You inform the Heavenly Secret Pavilion about the matter of the Red Moon...] [The Heavenly Secret Pavilion quickly dispatches subordinates to investigate the intelligence, researching the Red Moon affair...] [And you plan to return to Blue Star as quickly as possible.] [Guiding the Star-Moon Shuttle with full power, deploying the Dao of Speed, you return to Blue Star in just five and a half days.] [After returning to Blue Star, the first thing you do is prepare to lead the entire Great Xia Country in relocation.] [You spend a full three years successfully relocating the people of Great Xia Country and some other countries to the Little Qingyun Realm, and establish Great Xia...] [In the fourth year, you, accompanied by two Taiyi Golden Immortals, head towards the Endless Abyss.] [Knowing they are capable of dealing with the Red Moon, you then prepare to go to Qingyun Sect to obtain the Enlightenment Tea.] [...] [You successfully obtained the Enlightenment Tea from Qing Yunzi''s hands.] [In the fifth year, you prepare to set off for the Nine Heavens Domain.] [It took you about two and a half years to reach the Third Layer of the heavens and begin searching for the treasures in secret realms in your memory.] [This takes you about seven years...] [In the fifteenth year, you set off for the Fourth Layer of heavens and start exploring therein.] [Compared to before, your strength has increased considerably, and you were able to explore most of the secret realms in the Fourth Layer of heavens with ease.] [This exploration took an entire cycle of sixty years.] [Within the cycle, you''ve amassed many treasures, having slain numerous Profound Immortal Realm''s Void Beasts alone.] [There are many other treasures as well, which can aid you in the comprehension of the great dao and ensure your cultivation progress.] [At the same time, in the process of exploring the secret realms, you also did not neglect the enhancement of your Body Refinement Cultivation Level...] [In the seventy-seventh year, you find a relatively safe secret realm and begin to comprehend.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly, silently saying: "Utilize immersive simulation for sixty-three years!" [Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, expending 22,995 energy points, remaining energy 2,868,407 points...] After the simulation prompt ended, Su Xing appeared in the simulated world. Immediately, Su Xing didn''t consume the Enlightenment Tea but activated the "Inevitability of Comprehension" Talent! "I want to see just how effective this Inevitability Talent is?" Chapter 993 - 350: Golden Talent, Inevitable Enlightenment!_3 Su Xing''s heart stirred, only to feel himself falling into a mysterious state. This state of enhancement was far superior to that of Enlightenment Tea and Wen Dao Pill! Su Xing did not waste this rare enhancement, decisively choosing to begin comprehending the Great Dao of Space. The Void Beast cores in Su Xing''s hands swiftly diminished, what would have taken a year and a half to consume, now took just an hour or two. Meanwhile, Su Xing''s comprehension of the Great Dao of Space also rapidly increased. ... When Su Xing''s senses returned, it was not long before he would step into the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space. Su Xing, feeling the overflowing Dao Essence within, widened his eyes and murmured: "How long did this sudden enlightenment last?" Calculating with his fingers, Su Xing was stunned and said: "It actually lasted nine full days, equivalent to eighteen hundred years of comprehension? Sss... What good fortune!" "Wait! No! It must be the effect of the Fortune Talent!" Su Xing suddenly realized something, and joy appeared on his eyebrows. Right! Since the sudden enlightenment was random between one to nine days, it''s all about luck! And with Su Xing possessing Fortune Talent, his fortune was terrifying, wouldn''t he have nine days each time? That also means... each simulation for Su Xing could freeload eighteen hundred years of enlightenment! Thus, Su Xing''s progress in Dao Comprehension would greatly accelerate! "Tsk tsk... just a little more effort, and I''ll step into the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space!" Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Without hesitation, Su Xing decisively began to steep Enlightenment Tea. ... In the blink of an eye, thirty-six years passed. After Su Xing fully digested two cups of Enlightenment Tea, his comprehension of the Dao of Space finally entered the Fourth Realm! The Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space was completely different from the Third Realm! Upon entering the Fourth Realm, Su Xing felt a significant increase in his comprehension of the Dao of Space, several times more than before. The space around him seemed to be manipulatable at will... Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, emotionally moved. "Sss, the Fourth Layer of the Dao of Space seems quite strong!" With a flash, Su Xing disappeared from the Secret Realm, appearing in the Fourth Layer Heaven. Then with a single step, the space around him rapidly twisted, and Su Xing instantly appeared ten thousand li away! "Hmm, the furthest distance... can I really take a step of ten thousand li?" "Moreover, the consumption seems quite low? This extreme usage could be done over a hundred times a day!" Su Xing then tested his Divine Skill, Direct Earth Golden Light. Sure enough, the speed of Direct Earth Golden Light was also double that of before! ... Three days later, Su Xing returned to the Secret Realm, with a joyful expression on his face. "To think my speed increased so much upon entering the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space?" "If I fully activate it, perhaps I could travel billions of li a day but it probably couldn''t be sustained for more than a day or two." "But maintaining a speed of fifty million li a day should be enough, right?" Su Xing''s current speed had already basically surpassed the Star-Moon Shuttle. Although traveling through the Void, it was still not as stable or enduring as the Star-Moon Shuttle... "Not bad, smoothly entering the Fourth Realm of the Dao of Space, my escape speed might not be much less than in the Golden Immortal Realm!" Su Xing nodded satisfactorily. He still had Wen Dao Pill and Enlightenment Tea yet to be consumed. "So, the remaining Wen Dao Pill and Enlightenment Tea should be used to comprehend something else..." Su Xing thought carefully and decided first to comprehend the Spirit Domain! Su Xing had heard that only by mastering the Spirit Domain could the power of the Great Dao rules be fully utilized. And could better integrate the powers of the Great Dao "I''ve heard that upon mastering the Spirit Domain, within a certain range, words can follow the law, akin to the existence of a Saint or an Ancestral Dao!" Su Xing''s eyes burned with passion. His current embryonic form of the Spirit Domain only covered a hundred zhang, which is still too small. So, Su Xing drank a sip of Enlightenment Tea, starting to comprehend the Spirit Domain. In the blink of an eye, three years passed... Su Xing opened his eyes once again, feeling the progress of his Spirit Domain. The range of the Spirit Domain expanded from a hundred zhang directly to two hundred zhang, showing remarkable progress! Within this two hundred zhang, Su Xing, versed in the Five Elements, commanding space, reversing cause and effect, could be said to be omnipotent! But after a thorough contemplation of the Spirit Domain, Su Xing was stunned. "Hmm? The Spirit Domain... seems to be not just about comprehension!" "The essence of the Spirit Domain seems to be about integrating one''s own Mana and the comprehension of the Great Dao more effectively..." "Therefore, it''s not just about comprehension type, seems like immersive simulation can''t bring it out, can it?" Su Xing slightly shook his head, feeling a bit regretful. In this case, his Spirit Domain could only be brought out through rewards... "Well, since the results of the Spirit Domain can''t be carried out through cultivation, I should cultivate other Great Daos!" Su Xing didn''t dwell on it and began to cultivate the Speed Grand Dao directly. For the current Su Xing, the faster the Escape Speed, the better! Next, Su Xing drank the Enlightenment Tea, and then created and consumed the Wen Dao Pill... ... The immersive simulation soon ended, Su Xing returned to the real world. "Not bad, the comprehension of the Speed Grand Dao is only a step away from the Third Realm of the Great Dao!" Su Xing was full of anticipation; his Escape Speed was getting faster and the safety greatly enhanced! "With my current Escape Speed, below a Golden Immortal, even if not unbeatable surely no one can kill me, right?" "Also, once Speed Grand Dao steps into the Third Realm, I suspect it will take only three short days to return to Blue Star..." Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, the faster the speed between Little Qingyun Realm and Blue Star, the better! After all, in Su Xing''s plan, the future would integrate both realms to become the main base for Su Xing to acquire the Origin Energy Source! Later, Su Xing would gradually expand the scope, trading in different worlds to obtain more Origin Energy Sources, ensuring the needs for cultivation... "Calculating the time, I left Blue Star on February 8th, and now it''s March 20th, a full forty-two days since I''ve been back..." Su Xing sighed; although he was a noble True Immortal, he ultimately had no sense of belonging in the Little Qingyun Realm. Here, he had no friends, only some partners who cooperated for mutual benefits. "However, my current strength enhancement is still not enough!" "After some time...after using up the remaining simulation opportunities, I will stay half a month more in the Little Qingyun Realm before going back!" Su Xing had one more thing he prepared to do, but he hadn''t gotten around to it yet. He planned to return to Blue Star after that matter was completed! "So next, I''ll go all out to attain Perfection in the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!" "Once the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision successfully steps into the Fifth Realm... I should be capable of competing for a spot on the prodigious lists!" Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued: "As for staying in the Fourth Heaven, it seems to be a good choice... Five hundred years of simulation time, that should be enough for now!" "When I am stronger later, I''ll try to go even higher..." Su Xing thought so, his gaze turning to the Simulation Panel. [Simulation Year One Hundred and Forty: Your comprehension of the Way of Speed has greatly increased, nearing the Third Realm of the Speed Grand Dao.] [And your comprehension of the Dao of Space is even more extraordinary, the Fourth Realm of the Great Dao, a method only accessible to Golden Immortals...] [Next, you choose to continue cultivating in the Fourth Heaven.] [In the blink of an eye, a cycle of sixty years passes.] [In the second century, your Qi Refining Cultivation Level has been raised to the fourth level of True Immortal.] [In the third century, your Qi Refining Cultivation Level has been advanced to the late fourth level of True Immortal...] [In the fourth century, your Cultivation Level successfully broke into the fifth level of True Immortal!] [Apart from the enhancement in Qi Refining Cultivation Level, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved even more rapidly.] [With two hundred plus years of arduous cultivation, coupled with Bu Tian Hua, you are not far from achieving great success in the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refinement Technique...] [Thus, you undertook another strenuous thirty years of cultivation, making the final push towards the great success of the fourth layer!] [Finally, in the four hundred and thirtieth year, you successfully stepped into the great achievement of the fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision...] [Breaking through to Great Achievement, you did not slack off, continuing your cultivation with the remaining Bu Tian Hua, honing your physique...] [In the blink of an eye, decades pass...] [In the five hundredth year, one day, your Fortune Talent sent a premonition of averting disaster...] [The next day, Qing Yunzi found you...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing slightly nodded, satisfied: "Good, the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision is already not far from the Perfection of the fourth layer..." His gaze looked towards the rewards of this simulation. [Inevitable Insight]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 points of Origin Energy Source. [Grand Witch Body Refinement Decision Fourth Layer Great Achievement]: Ancient Witch Clan''s body refinement technique, reaching the fourth layer allows limb regeneration, incessant Qi and blood in the body, tremendously increased stamina, priced at 600,000 Origin Energy Source. [True Immortal Realm Fifth Level Cultivation]: Transcending the three disasters of Immortals, achieving True Immortal, the Great Dao is hopeful, life as long as a meeting of elements! Priced at 600,000 Origin Energy Source! [Spirit Domain Comprehension]: Selecting this will slightly increase the comprehension of the Spirit Domain, priced at 30,000 Origin Energy Source. Chapter 994 - 351: Rather Be a Minor Immortal Than Dream of Being a Mortal Emperor! Su Xing looked at the simulation rewards in front of him, not too entangled. The results of cultivating in the Spirit Domain could not be brought out through immersive simulation, something Su Xing hadn''t anticipated. However, fortunately, Su Xing''s main goal was to enhance his Body Refinement Cultivation Level. The Grand Witch Body Refining Decision reaching Great Achievement at the Fourth Layer had met Su Xing''s expectations. Thus, Su Xing silently recited: "I choose to bring out the Golden Talent of Inevitable Epiphany, as well as the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision reaching Great Achievement at the Fourth Layer!" [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision reaching Great Achievement at the Fourth Layer. It cost 600,000 origin energy source points, leaving you with 2,268,407 points remaining...] [Ding, it has been detected that you possess a purple lower-tier Talent, Epiphany of Chance, Talent exchange in process...] [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Golden Talent of Inevitable Epiphany... It cost 10 origin energy source points, leaving you with 2,268,397 points remaining...] As the notification sound ended, two streams of profound energy entered Su Xing''s body. Su Xing''s Body Refinement Cultivation, in a short time, surged by a great margin, and his bodily vitality, strength, and recovery power greatly increased. Sensing the explosive increase of energy within his body, Su Xing squinted his eyes and muttered: "The feeling of gaining strength is, as always, wonderful!" "However... the enhancements brought by the Fourth Layer of Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, after all, will not result in a qualitative change... Only by breaking through to the Fifth Layer, will my overall strength climb to a new stage!" So thought Su Xing. His strongest methods today could not be measured by Cultivation Level alone. The various Talents, Divine Skills, Dao Comprehension, even the trials of the Three Disasters of Wind, Fire, and Thunder, were the true origins of Su Xing''s formidable combat power. Even advancing to the perfection of the Fourth Layer in Grand Witch Body Refining Decision is just an increase in self-preservation power within the realm of Profound Immortal. When facing Golden Immortal powerhouses, there is still a long way to go... "The path of cultivation is a long and endless journey... Profound Immortals, Golden Immortals, tens of thousands of years it takes for some to move a single step forward..." "And I, nearly every simulation brings about a new change in strength! Although I can''t skyrocket to the top in one step... I should already be content with such progress!" Su Xing murmured. A step to the sky, a mirage-like flourishing scene, naturally isn''t as solid as the step-by-step, strategic growth. "If I want to compete with Golden Immortal powerhouses... I''m afraid that both Body Refinement and Qi Refinement Cultivation need to step up to a new stage..." Su Xing was not in a rush, strength always grows gradually, and he still had plenty of time. Time was ample for him now, the Taiyi and Daluo Golden Immortals whom he now looks up to, might not necessarily be unattainable in the future! What Su Xing now focuses on is to lay a solid foundation, to ensure the path of his Dao can go as far as possible! Reaching the step of True Immortal is just like walking on thin ice... If one is not careful, insufficient foundation in the Dao, it will be extremely difficult to make up for it in the future! Having put so much thought into laying a solid foundation, Su Xing naturally would not give up! "From where does a Cultivator''s foundation originate?" "From the moment one sets foot in the door of cultivation as a Qi Refining practitioner, their talent, lifespan, foundation..." "To the current mana, Dantian, Divine Soul, Divine Skills in Cultivation Technique... even Dao Comprehension, all of these are the basis for measuring a Cultivator''s strength!" "As powerful as Qing Yunzi, not just by mastering Three Purities from One Qi can one dominate the Three Thousand Worlds... Daluo Golden Immortals, who doesn''t have several secret Divine Skills?" "What they compete in, is their foundation!" "And as for Ancestor Master Luotian, the number one of the Spirit Domain in the Three Thousand Worlds, didn''t he also end up with his Dao disappearing upon death?" "Climbing to the extreme along one path, you can rule over one part, and all directions will pay tribute... but if you truly want to suppress eternity, to become the number one of the myriad of worlds, it''s not just about taking one path to its ultimate limit!" All those well-known powerful individualities in the Three Thousand Worlds, which one didn''t push their own Dao to the extreme? The Dao of the Five Elements, Sword Immortal... or perhaps the sea of Dantian, Body Cultivation, or the Art of Transformation? However, even among great beings, there are gaps, and it''s not just about the highs and lows of the Dao, but also the number of Daos! After a pause, Su Xing continued: "One day in the future, I will also step onto that ultimate journey, competing on the same stage with those Taiyi, Daluo Golden Immortals!" "And have they lived long enough to master myriad Arts?" "On what basis do I compete with them? Could it be with the Simulator... uh, no, of course it''s my own foundation in the Dao path!" That''s what Su Xing thought. If Su Xing only wanted to achieve Cultivation Realm without seeking a solid Dao foundation, that would be too simple. One simulation of five hundred years, Su Xing could simulate ten times, a hundred times! That would amount to five thousand years, fifty thousand years of cultivation! Even without any growth, he could still build his Cultivation to the level of Golden Immortal or even higher realms! But Su Xing''s advantage now, with the gap in talent narrowing the further one goes... What''s the use of merely having a higher level of Cultivation if one cannot keep up with methods? Being just another in the crowd among Golden Immortals! How can one compete for the rankings of Heaven and Earth? S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Those who achieve Golden Immortal are one in a billion extraordinary talents, each Great Thousand Worlds, it''s extraordinary to produce one in a thousand or ten thousand years. Which one of these people isn''t top-tier Spiritual Root, possessing Divine Bodies? Sacred Bodies? Facing Profound Immortal and Golden Immortal Cultivators, who spend tens of thousands of years to advance a single Minor Realm... Can Su Xing ensure that his Cultivation will continue to grow rapidly within a short period of time? This advantage of ascending several Minor Realms in a single simulation, after Profound Immortal and Golden Immortal... may slowly fade away. By then, what Su Xing will be competing for, will only be the foundation! "So now, what needs to be done is to accumulate the foundation while advancing both Body Refinement and Qi Refinement Cultivation to the level of the Profound Immortal Realm!" Su Xing had made up his mind and, after fully adapting to the sudden increase in physical strength within his body, he looked towards the Simulation Panel. Chapter 995 - 351: Rather Be a Minor Immortal Than Dream of Being a Mortal Emperor!_2 "The last simulation opportunity, it is time to break through to the Perfection of the Fourth Layer!" Su Xing did not hesitate and silently commanded: "Begin the simulation!" [Simulation No. 130 has started, remaining Origin Energy Source is 2,268,397 points... remaining simulation opportunities: 0.] [Simulation begins!] [Drawing the Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, would you like to draw?] "Yes!" Su Xing estimated that if he could draw another powerful talent like the certainty of sudden enlightenment, that would be a huge gain. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent, Mysterious Yin Body... The probability of drawing a Golden Talent next time is 80%...] [Mysterious Yin Body]: A Golden Talent, one of the rare Hundred Great Divine Bodies in the world, bolsters a steadfast Dao Heart and a higher cultivation speed while promoting a state of little desire. More commonly found in women, possession of this talent by men will result in the loss of certain abilities. "Hmm? The Mysterious Yin Body..." Su Xing tugged at the corner of his mouth. This talent seemed to be a secondary talent to Immortal Ziling''s Mysterious Yin Sacred Body, capable of strengthening the Dao Heart and enhancing the cultivation speed. While it wasn''t as good as Mysterious Yin Sacred Body, it seemed quite extraordinary nonetheless. However, upon seeing the side effect of the Mysterious Yin Body, Su Xing decisively abandoned the thought of carrying this talent outside. "Losing certain functions... Ehm, what man could endure that?" Su Xing decisively shook his head. "Well, it seems that the talent from this simulation doesn''t need to be carried out!" "Thus, the target is Body Refinement Cultivation Level, and understanding the Spirit Domain!" Su Xing had a plan in mind. Since he has chosen the path of invincibility, he had to do his best and become the strongest! With the simulator in hand, he had the confidence. Thinking thus, Su Xing''s gaze fell on the Simulation Panel. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are simulating.] [You prepared and left White Emperor City, heading in the direction of Heavenly Demon City...] [The next day, you traveled tens of millions of miles over mountains and rivers and successfully arrived outside Heavenly Demon City.] [Upon arriving outside Heavenly Demon City, you disguised yourself and changed your identity.] [You demonstrated the strength of an early True Immortal, claiming to be a Loose Cultivator roaming in the Qingyun Realm, seeking to join Heavenly Demon City in the resistance against the Foreign Race!] [After verifying that you were not an Evil Cultivator, you were warmly received by Heavenly Demon City.] [Afterward, you became a general in Heavenly Demon City, enjoying special privileges, recruiting your own men, soldiers, and leading them on the front lines against the Foreign Race...] [You stayed in Heavenly Demon City for a year, becoming familiar with the frontline arrangements of Heavenly Demon City and the Foreign Race, and killed many Different Race Deities, obtaining their Flesh Essence and Divinity...] [In the second year, you temporarily took leave, left Heavenly Demon City, and went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in White Emperor City to inform them about the Red Moon.] [The Heavenly Secret Pavilion quickly responded, and you also returned to Blue Star to make advance preparations.] sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [In the fifth year, you relocated the Human Race from Blue Star to the Little Qingyun Realm, ensuring their safety.] [In the sixth year, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion reached out to you and asked you to lead two Taiyi immortals to find the hidden location of the Red Moon...] [After leading the two Taiyi Golden Immortals, you returned to the Little Qingyun Realm.] [In the seventh year, you successfully made contact with Immortal Ziling, ascended Three Immortals Peak, and completed a transaction with Qing Yunzi.] [By the tenth year, you reached the Third Layer of the Nine Heavens Domain and began to collect treasures from the Secret Realms.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this. "Going to Heavenly Demon City, starting the third Vest is precisely my next plan!" "When in the Cultivation World, Vests... naturally, the more, the better!" Su Xing blinked. He had previously used two Vests, Su Ye and Ye Tian, exhibiting Earth Immortal Realm and Heavenly Immortal Realm strength, respectively. This was to facilitate his trades and accumulate more Origin Energy Source. Therefore, the strength did not have to be too high... being a little low-key was also fine. But now, the Third Vest that Su Xing was creating was displaying the True Immortal Realm cultivation, which was just an initial plan! As Su Xing''s strength increased, this Vest would exhibit higher cultivation and strength! Because Su Xing''s purpose in going to Heavenly Demon City was to establish his own power! "To counter the Foreign Race... relying solely on myself is still too difficult!" "The best method, naturally, is to establish my own power... unite with other forces and form an alliance against the Foreign Race!" "And it is better to start sooner rather than later! The faster we start, the better!" Su Xing had once established the Tianyuan Army in the simulation, which helped the Little Qingyun Realm resist the Foreign Race, and the results were quite good. Therefore, in reality, Su Xing also planned to follow this tried and true path! Firstly, establishing the Tianyuan Army would strengthen Su Xing''s own power against the Foreign Race. Secondly, after defeating the Foreign Race, their Divinity, Flesh Essence, and other parts would become a significant energy source, contributing to one of Su Xing''s energy sources... "Then, the power to be established in the future shall be called Tianyuan Army!" In Su Xing''s plan, Tianyuan Army would not focus on quantity but on quality! It would comprise prodigies from the Three Thousand Worlds or Cultivators who were adept in combat and warfare! As for Cultivation Level... It didn''t have to be set very high; anyone above the Integration Phase would do for Su Xing! "To swiftly establish a military force, the most important thing is to offer sufficient benefits!" "What''s most important to Cultivators are undoubtedly cultivation resources!" "I won''t be short of Spiritual Liquid! As long as I have enough Gathering Spirit Flowers, I can continuously produce Spiritual Liquid from the Luo Tian Mirror!" "Besides, the flesh of the Foreign Race can also be refined into Rebirth Pills, which are absolutely fatal temptation for Body Refinement Cultivators!" Su Xing''s mouth curled slightly upward. As long as he made a name for himself, with Spiritual Liquid in one hand and Rebirth Pills in the other, these two rewards would make assembling the Tianyuan Army a sure thing! Chapter 998 - 352: Establishment of the Tianyuan Army, Su Xings Plan Implemented! Su Xing sighed deeply and muttered: "Understanding the Spirit Domain is indeed difficult!" "A three-hundred-zhang Spirit Domain... Its scope has expanded more than tenfold than before!" "Yet regrettably... it still remains merely at the level of the Spirit Domain!" Su Xing slightly shook his head. S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With his current cultivation level and perspective, he was no longer unfamiliar with the Spirit Domain. According to what Su Xing knew, the essence of the Spirit Domain is that the cultivator uses their own power to communicate with the Great Dao of heaven and earth, manifesting it and gathering thousands of powerful forces into one, using mana as a medium to display various profound mysteries. Therefore, the most direct manifestation of the Spirit Domain is its scope! The larger the scope, the stronger the Spirit Domain! The Spirit Domain is divided into three levels. The lowest level is called the Spirit Domain. Including the nascent form of the Spirit Domain, its range varies from several zhang to ten thousand zhang. Above that is the Immortal Domain. The Immortal Domain starts at a minimum of ten thousand zhang, and at its largest, it can even cover an entire Minor Thousand Worlds! The highest realm of the Spirit Domain is known as "Immortal Nation"! Using one''s mighty power to encompass an entire Minor Thousand Worlds. Its comprehension of the Great Dao and the requirements for the cultivator are extremely high... Those who can reach the realm of Immortal Nation are all Daluo Golden Immortals! And the powerful being that Su Xing knows who has reached the profound realm of Immortal Nation is Ancestor Master Luotian... "With my current foundation, Immortal Nation is still too far away... even the Immortal Domain is quite a distance away!" "The current goal is to quickly increase the scope of the Spirit Domain! The greater the scope, the stronger the capabilities! The power of the Great Dao, the more astonishing it becomes!" Su Xing already had a goal in his mind. His gaze returned to the simulation panel. [In the next few decades, you continue to stay in the Fourth Layer of Heaven, cultivating the Spirit Domain, daily persisting in Body Refinement, making your cultivation level increasingly stable.] [In the four hundred fiftieth year, this year your nascent form of the Spirit Domain reached a circumference of over five hundred zhang, further enhancing its power.] [In the four hundred seventieth year, one day you feel your physical body breaking through a layer of shackles, greatly increasing your strength and life force.] [Congratulations, the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision has smoothly advanced to the Fourth Layer Perfection!] Back in the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath. "The Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, finally advanced to the Fourth Layer Perfection... There''s only one step away from reaching the Fifth Layer!" "However, the five hundredth-year deadline is approaching... perhaps it''s time to give it a try!" Su Xing had deduced in previous simulations that the higher the layer in the Nine Heavens Domain, the stronger the shielding of Heavenly Secrets. Su Xing''s idea was to try entering the Fifth Heavenly Layer to see if he could evade Qing Yunzi''s Divination! "The Fifth Layer of Heaven... No one below the Golden Immortal Realm can enter!" "The void Gang Qi there is extremely strong... If not a Golden Immortal powerhouse, a cultivator at the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm might also have a slim chance to successfully pass through..." "I wonder, with my current strength, can I give it a try?" Su Xing felt somewhat eager, if he could enter the Fifth Heavenly Layer, perhaps he could extend the simulation length by dozens or even hundreds of years. Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the simulation panel. [In the four hundred seventy-third year, after stabilizing the mastery of the Fourth Layer Perfection of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, you decide to attempt to go to the Fifth Heavenly Layer.] [You release your Body-Protecting Sword Aura, operate the Dao of Space, and with the immense strength of your physical body, head towards the Fifth Heavenly Layer...] [In the blink of an eye, several years pass.] [You arrive at the terrifying void Gang Qi that separates the Fourth and Fifth Heavenly Layers, its power several times stronger than that of the Fourth Layer.] [You take a deep breath, supporting your Spirit Domain, and also operate the Body-Protecting Sword Aura, rushing towards that void Gang Qi.] [Just as you step into the void Gang Qi, you immediately feel its terrifying destructive power.] [The Spirit Domain you''re forcefully maintaining quickly shrinks and collapses, each strand of void Gang Qi hitting as strongly as a peak Profound Immortal Realm cultivator''s strike.] [Seeing this, you hastily use the Five Elements Dao, forming a barrier with the generating cycle of the Five Elements to firmly protect yourself.] [At the same time, Body-Protecting Sword Aura is poured out, surrounding your body.] [But the power of this Gang Qi is too terrifying; traveling for less than an hour, your own protective measures have already dissipated by a large part.] [You know in your heart that the remaining time is absolutely not enough for you to safely reach the Fifth Heavenly Layer.] [The only plan now is to retreat, to return to the Fourth Layer...] [Thus, you forcefully maintain the Body-Protecting Gang Qi, enduring the sensation of being sliced by knives transmitting from your body, crazily retreating along the way you came...] [By the time you escape back to the Fourth Heavenly Layer, you are covered in wounds.] [Your entire left leg and right arm have been severed at the roots, and hundreds of wounds appear on your chest, leaving you nearly at your last breath...] [You forcefully hold onto your last breath, finding a safe place to begin recovering from your injuries.] [Thankfully, your life force is now terrifyingly strong.] [The severed parts of your body, in just a short moment, have regenerated to their original state, and the wounds on your body heal in the time of a breath...] [For this, you expended many healing treasures and Origin Force...] [But after all, you survived.] [Knowing with your current strength, you are not yet capable of exploring the Fifth Heavenly Layer, you honestly stay in the Fourth Layer of Heaven to cultivate.] Back in the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath. "Sigh, it was still a bit too hasty!" "To enter the Fifth Heavenly Layer, it seems that advancing my Body Refinement Cultivation Level further is necessary, and reaching the Fifth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision is a must!" "Besides, stronger protective means are also needed... Otherwise, even if I enter the Fifth Heavenly Layer, it would still be extremely difficult to move forward!" "The Body-Protecting Sword Aura also needs to be further advanced..." Su Xing already had an idea in his mind, his gaze returning to the simulation panel. [In the four hundred eightieth year, you return to the Fourth Layer of Heaven, ready to continue your cultivation there.] Chapter 999 - 352 Tianyuan Army Established, Su Xings Plan Implemented!_2 [Thus, twenty years flew by in the blink of an eye...] [In the five hundredth year, this year your Spirit Domain reached a radius of six hundred paces, its power even more formidable than before...] [That same year, Qing Yunzi found you...] [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing sighed helplessly. "It seems I''m still lacking somewhat!" "However, after gaining more strength, I should be able to venture into The Fifth Layer of Heaven... There, there are definitely more precious Secret Realms!" Su Xing was somewhat expectant in his heart. But for now, let''s see the rewards from this simulation. His gaze turned towards the reward list. [Dark Yin Physique]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 Origin Energy points. [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision Perfection at Fourth Layer]: Ancient Witch Clan Body Refinement Technique, reaching the Fourth Layer allows for limb regeneration, endless internal vital energy and blood, greatly enhanced stamina, priced at 600,000 Origin Energy points. [True Immortal Realm Five Heavenly Layers Cultivation Level]: Cross the three calamities of Immortals, achieve True Immortality, the Great Dao is within reach, lifespans as long as a Kalpa! Priced at 600,000 Origin Energy points! [Spirit Domain Cultivation Outcome]: Upon selection, greatly intensify the comprehension of the Spirit Domain, capable of controlling a Spirit Domain of six hundred paces, priced at 60,000 Origin Energy points. Su Xing didn''t hesitate and silently intoned: "I choose to bring out the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision Perfection at Fourth Layer... as well as the Spirit Domain Cultivation Outcome!" [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision Perfection at Fourth Layer Cultivation Level, spending 600,000 Origin Energy points, remaining Origin Energy points 1,845,401...] [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Spirit Domain Cultivation Outcome... spending 60,000 Origin Energy points, remaining Origin Energy points 1,785,401...] Following two notification sounds, the aura around Su Xing began to change rapidly. In just a short moment, Su Xing''s Physical Body had surged to the perfection level of a True Immortal, strength, Life Force, and more all significantly increasing. Besides the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Su Xing also felt another energy within him growing rapidly! Spirit Domain! Su Xing slowly closed his eyes, and after a short while, reopened them, then with a thought, a profound energy instantly enveloped the space within a six hundred paces radius. "The Spirit Domain is one of the important aspects for a Cultivator in combat... Failing to cultivate a Spirit Domain may not mean one is weak, but all powerful Cultivators must have achievements in the way of the Spirit Domain!" The simplest truth. Two Cultivators fighting, if one possessed a Spirit Domain and the other did not, that was an overwhelming advantage. Because once without a Spirit Domain and entering the opponent''s Spirit Domain, it would mean that one is completely at the mercy of the opponent. Only when both parties have a Spirit Domain, and not much difference between them, can they truly compete. "The way of Spirit Domain, there''s still a long way to go..." Su Xing slightly shook his head, murmuring. "With three simulation opportunities used up, it''s time to head to that place!" ... Three days later, Heavenly Demon City in the Little Qingyun Realm. This was a city enshrouded in solemnity and darkness. Approaching Heavenly Demon City, even the clouds in the sky seemed to darken by a shade. At this moment, Su Xing had already changed his appearance, turning into a burly, middle-aged Cultivator with a scar on his face. This was Su Xing''s third Vest, alias Jiang Hao! Su Xing had been in the Heavenly Demon City for a full two and a half days, and during these two and a half days, Su Xing had gained a certain understanding of the Heavenly Demon City. Therefore, Su Xing was ready to start implementing his plan in this place. "Then, first go to the Heavenly Demon City to verify my identity and obtain a certain status!" Su Xing squinted his eyes, looking at a tent in the distance. Many Cultivators were queuing up there, and there was also a group of Cultivators in armor registering something. Heavenly Demon City, the recruitment spot for frontline soldiers! Su Xing did not choose to join the queue, but went straight to the front of the line. When he reached the front, Su Xing pulled over the queuing Cultivator and naturally took the first position. "I, Jiang Hao, am here to enlist!" Su Xing tried to keep up his Vest persona, sparing with his words. The Cultivator who had been pulled away by Su Xing showed a furiously angry expression. Just as he was about to stand up and resist, upon seeing Su Xing''s towering and majestic physique, and the murderous intent in his eyes, he immediately shrank down and shuffled back to the end of the line. The registration Centurions, after seeing Su Xing''s imposing manner, did not reprimand him for cutting the line, but first scrutinized Su Xing, and upon failing to see through his Cultivation Level, said in astonishment: Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "My fellow daoist, could it be that you have already ascended to Immortality?" Upon saying this, the Cultivators in the queue behind him were momentarily thrown into disarray. Although this was a recruitment spot for Heavenly Demon City''s military camp, rarely did Immortals come to enlist. It was exceptional to even have Cultivators at the Integration Phase and Mahayana Realm; they were a rare sight. Moreover, Immortals did not need to go through the normal registration channels and could directly use their connections to become officers in the army. Su Xing glanced at the astonished Cultivators behind him, nodding slightly: "I have been an Immortal for ten thousand years..." At first, these two Centurions didn''t react to Su Xing''s words. But soon enough, they came to their senses. Wait a minute! An Immortal for ten thousand years... A Human Immortal lives barely over ten thousand years, and having lived more than that long, wouldn''t that mean one''s life is nearing its end, with chaotic Mana and withered lifeblood? But looking at this Cultivator before them, an Immortal for ten thousand years... and still in his prime! Could it be that he is a Cultivator at the Earth Immortal Realm! With this thought, the two Centurions exchanged a look, their hearts filled with excitement. The Earth Immortal Realm, that would be the level of a commander in Heavenly Demon City! A truly significant figure! As for higher realms like Heavenly Immortal... they dared not contemplate. Thus, the two Centurions respectfully saluted Su Xing, saying: Chapter 1000 - 352 Tianyuan Army Established, Su Xings Plan Implemented!_3 "This senior, please wait here for a moment... We will be back shortly!" Once Su Xing nodded in agreement, the two Centurions directly left behind hundreds of Cultivators in line and headed towards a certain direction inside the fortress. About fifteen minutes later, the two Centurions returned, and behind them, followed a commander clad in silver armor! Heavenly Demon City Commander, with Earth Immortal Realm strength! In the entire Heavenly Demon City, he is a revered existence! The commander, who was typically solemn, closely examined Su Xing and then paused. After a moment, he tentatively asked: "Senior, are you a Heavenly Immortal?" Clearly, this Earth Immortal commander had not seen through Su Xing''s true capabilities. Hearing the commander''s words, the Centurions behind him, as well as the queueing Cultivators, became even more agitated. "This... a Heavenly Immortal?" "It''s actually a Senior from the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" "Holy shit, I''ve lived over a thousand years and this is the first time I am seeing a Heavenly Immortal!" These murmuring voices reached the ears of Su Xing. Su Xing simply smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying. This unsettled the Earth Immortal commander. According to the rules of the Cultivation World, he, being an Earth Immortal, was not supposed to speak directly to a Heavenly Immortal cultivator, otherwise it would seem disrespectful. Since Su Xing wanted to join the Heavenly Demon City, if he were a Heavenly Immortal and the Heavenly Demon City had only sent an Earth Immortal to speak with him, that would be considered a slight! Thus, the silver-armored commander removed his helmet, bowed to Su Xing, and said: "Senior, please wait a moment, there happens to be a general in the city, I will go invite him to come over..." Saying this, the silver-armored commander hurriedly left, leaving the scene in disarray. Su Xing said nothing and just stood silently waiting. About another fifteen minutes later, a Heavenly Immortal General arrived at the location. sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. His presence exuded a majestic aura, causing his few subordinates behind him not to dare to breathe heavily. Upon seeing Su Xing, he first sized him up and then his expression began to change. After a moment, the general tentatively asked: "Senior...are you possibly a True Immortal?" This time, Su Xing did not beat around the bush, but nodded and said: "Indeed, thousands of years ago, I had already reached the True Immortal Realm..." "After a recent period of seclusion, I did not expect that the Little Qingyun Realm is now in such peril, thus, I wish to contribute to Heavenly Demon City with all my strength!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, the general immediately showed great joy and hastily said: "With senior''s addition, our Heavenly Demon City will definitely be able to resist the Foreign Races and gain the upper hand!" Su Xing heard this and laughed without a word. After deliberating for a moment, the general said: "Senior, may I ask you to accompany me to the City Lord''s residence? It is not that I am being disrespectful... but it''s about your cultivation level..." Su Xing naturally understood the Heavenly Immortal''s intent. In Heavenly Demon City, besides the hidden Heavenly Demon General, the highest was only a True Immortal. The Heavenly Demon General does not bother with worldly affairs and only intercepts Foreign Races and strong enemies harmful to the Heavenly Demon City. This meant that only one True Immortal City Lord was present. Since the City Lord was busy with myriad duties, possibly even in seclusion, they could not directly invite him. Therefore, they wanted Su Xing to first visit the City Lord''s residence. Hearing this, Su Xing nodded and agreed: "In that case, lead the way!" Hearing Su Xing''s agreement, the Heavenly Immortal was overjoyed, thus he led Su Xing to the City Lord''s residence. As Su Xing walked away, the training ground filled with queueing and gossiping Cultivators boiled over! "A True Immortal cultivation!" "Another True Immortal joins the ranks of the Heavenly Demon City!" "Hahaha... such tremendous news, I must inform my friends and family and hold a feast!" At this moment, the hundreds of Cultivators on the training ground spread the news of an additional True Immortal in the Heavenly Demon City throughout the entire city. And this was precisely Su Xing''s goal! What Su Xing did was for enlisting in the Tianyuan Army, thereby naturally he had to first make a name. And public voice is the best means of spreading news! This is why Su Xing made such a high-profile appearance, to better recruit talents in the future. And now, Su Xing''s plan was in motion... ... Soon, Su Xing arrived at the Heavenly Demon City City Lord''s residence, and also met the True Immortal City Lord. This True Immortal City Lord, robust in stature, was skilled in both Qi and Body Refinement. His Qi Refining cultivation was at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, but his Body Refinement had already reached the late stages of the True Immortal Realm. This City Lord closely examined Su Xing for a moment and then tentatively asked: "Brother, what exactly is your cultivation level?" After thinking for a while, Su Xing said: "Thousands of years ago, I had already reached the peak of True Immortal in Body Refinement...perhaps I am not far from breaking through to the next realm." Hearing Su Xing''s words, the City Lord immediately showed a look of wild joy, blurting out several words: "Good, good, good! Well done!" "Hahaha, heaven blesses the Little Qingyun Realm! With brother''s joining, we can certainly keep the Foreign Races out of the Little Qingyun Realm!" This True Immortal City Lord was genuinely delighted. A peak True Immortal expert could play a significant role on the battlefield, as one can imagine! Indeed, it could be said that he could match the power of more than ten Heavenly Immortal powerhouses... After being joyful for a while, the City Lord thought for a moment and said: "Brother Jiang...it is not that I am being disrespectful, but according to the procedures, there will still be one test for you next..." Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this. He naturally knew what kind of assessment the City Lord was talking about. It was merely a test to check whether Su Xing was an Evil Cultivator... And this kind of verification was not complex. The City Lord took out a white stone and handed it over to Su Xing. Chapter 1001 - 352 Tianyuan Army Established, Su Xings Plan Implemented!_4 And as Su Xing placed his hand on it, a moment later, streaks of blood color appeared on the stone. Seeing these few streaks of blood color, the City Lord breathed a sigh of relief, his smile growing even brighter. This stone can detect the karma and slaughter on cultivators... If it''s only the killing in common strife between cultivators, as long as the number isn''t too large, then only a few streaks of blood color will appear. But, if black appears, that''s karma! What is karma? Those who kill the innocent, produce karma! To put it simply, cultivators who slaughter ordinary people out of selfish desires will generate karma! And with excessive karma, one will be judged as an evil cultivator! As for where evil cultivators go, it goes without saying. Either they are absorbed by the Descending Sect, or they hide among the loose cultivators, fleeing to the ends of the earth. Heavenly Demon City, recruiting generals, soldiers, disregarding one''s background. As long as one''s cultivation level is sufficient, and not a traitor of the Human Race, they can join the Heavenly Demon City to strike at the Foreign Race! After verifying that Su Xing was not an evil cultivator, this True Immortal City Lord became even more enthusiastic and said to Su Xing: "Brother Jiang, the position of Vice City Lord of Heavenly Demon City is still vacant, why not take on this position for the time being?" The position of Vice City Lord of Heavenly Demon City, within Heavenly Demon City and even the whole Little Qingyun Realm, is a top-tier power figure. But upon hearing this, Su Xing simply smiled without saying a word. And it was this smile that made the City Lord''s heart flutter with anxiety. He hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Jiang, with your strength, you are fully capable of being the City Lord of Heavenly Demon City!" "In Heavenly Demon City, strength is revered! Given that Brother''s cultivation surpasses mine... I should take this position of Vice City Lord!" After hearing this, Su Xing paused for a moment, then shook his head and said: "You misunderstand me..." "I did not come to Heavenly Demon City out of greed for the City Lord''s position!" "What I want is to have the right to act independently, to recruit cultivators on my own, and to form a separate army to help Heavenly Demon City strike at the Foreign Race!" "Of course, I have my conditions, as I have been in seclusion for too long and have some mundane matters to deal with in Little Qingyun Realm... Therefore, I cannot stay in Heavenly Demon City all the time; this must be stated upfront." Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, the City Lord pondered for a moment, preparing to respond. But Su Xing said: "Of course, forming my own army, though under Heavenly Demon City, but not directly under its command, is admittedly a bit audacious..." "Therefore, I promise the City Lord that every ten years, the army I lead will slay a million Foreign Race below the Emperor Level and ten thousand of the Saint Level Foreign Race... And not less than a thousand beyond the God Level!" "These are my conditions!" After hearing Su Xing''s words, what hesitation could Heavenly Demon City still have? A formidable slaughter of a million below Emperor Level! Just this number was close to the total enemy kill count of the entire Heavenly Demon City! As for a thousand God Level Foreign Race... did the entire Heavenly Demon City frontline even have a thousand God Level Foreign Race? Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The City Lord doubted. But the conditions offered by Su Xing were too generous, so without hesitation, the City Lord replied directly: "What Brother Jiang said is surely acceptable!" "With that settled, I as the City Lord agree!" It wasn''t long before Su Xing and the City Lord of Heavenly Demon City signed a contract, and Su Xing also obtained the authority within Heavenly Demon City to independently recruit cultivators. ... The next day, the news that True Immortal Jiang Hao came to Heavenly Demon City to establish the Tianyuan Army and recruit soldiers spread throughout Heavenly Demon City. Many loose cultivators who were confident in their cultivation strength were eager to try. It was clear to the discerning eye that Jiang Hao was going to become a new noble within Heavenly Demon City! What an honor it would be to join under a True Immortal firsthand? As a result, thousands of cultivators above Divinity Transformation within Heavenly Demon City were itching to move. Yet Su Xing, as the focus of attention, didn''t rush to recruit cultivators and instead left Heavenly Demon City alone to stop in a large mountain fifty thousand li outside of the city. "There are Heavenly Demon Generals in Heavenly Demon City after all!" "If I directly break through to the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision there, I''ll inevitably attract attention..." "So, it''s safer to simulate here!" After pausing, Su Xing continued: "Moreover, the most important thing is, I should try whether I can successfully complete the next step of my plan!" On March 24th, 2026 of the New Era, Su Xing started a new round of astral body simulation. "Start the simulation!" Chapter 1002 - 353: Red Moon Has Not Yet Died, Breaking the Fifth Level Limit! "Begin simulation!" [The 131st simulation starts, current remaining Origin Energy Source is 1,785,401 points... Remaining simulation opportunities are 0.] [Simulation begins!] [Extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 point of Origin Energy Source, proceed?] "Yes!" Su Xing silently thought. [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent Hundred Flowers Divine Body... The probability of drawing Golden Talent next time is 80%...] [Hundred Flowers Divine Body]: Golden Talent, one of the Hundred Great Divine Bodies, exclusively for females, you can enhance your natural aptitude and talent by cultivating various flowers and absorbing their spirituality, thus improving your cultivation speed. "Uh... this Talent!" Su Xing felt somewhat helpless; although it was one of the Hundred Great Divine Bodies, Su Xing didn''t expect it to be a female-only talent. Able to increase aptitude and cultivation speed... but Su Xing was completely unable to use it. "Uh... this Talent, it seems I can only gift it to someone else in the future..." Su Xing slightly shook his head, not dwelling on it. "This time, the goal is the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, officially stepping into the Fifth Layer, and also, it is time to further enhance my Spirit Domain and Dao Comprehension!" "If the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision smoothly steps into the Fifth Layer, it''s possible to explore The Fifth Layer of Heaven... Even attempting to traverse the Endless Sea Domain!" Su Xing paused, then continued: "However... the Fifth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision..." Su Xing recalled in his mind the description of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision. The Fifth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, comparable to a Profound Immortal, can possess extreme speed and strength, fully unleashing one''s vitality and life force, thereby forming a certain aura! At this level, one can physically traverse The Void without being affected. The life force, like the oldest tree of life, stands unyielding! Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This means that the Fifth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision represents an all-round enhancement!" "Once stepped into the Fifth Layer, the strength of my physical body will probably increase more than tenfold! At that time, I will truly have an overwhelming advantage among Profound Immortals!" "After entering the Fifth Layer, the aura formed around my body can also allow me to ignore the consumption of physical bodies in The Void... Even if Mana is disrupted, my physical body will still be able to survive in The Void!" Su Xing was somewhat anticipatory. It can be said, as long as he steps into the Fifth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Su Xing will have the qualifications to traverse the Endless Sea Domain! "The Fourth Layer is complete; breaking into the Fifth Layer requires reaching the current limit of my vitality and physical body..." "Then, let us formally begin!" Su Xing, filled with anticipation, looked towards the Simulation Panel. [Inside the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation.] [You return to Heavenly Demon City, and with your charisma and reputation, you establish the Tianyuan Army, starting to recruit followers and soldiers...] [At this moment, your reputation is still limited to within Heavenly Demon City.] [Even so, within a mere half-month, you have recruited several hundred cultivators above the Body Integration Realm in Heavenly Demon City!] [Among them, there are even dozens of Tribulation Crossing, Mahayana cultivators, and two Human Immortals!] [You take out a portion of Spiritual Liquid, using it to reward your followers and buy people''s hearts.] [Another three days pass, you prepare to initiate the first action of the Tianyuan Army.] [Your target is an outpost of the Foreign Race, 30,000 li southwest of Heavenly Demon City.] [This outpost has a powerful Foreign Race deity, along with dozens of Different Race Deities and thousands of strong Foreign Races.] [You aim to lead the Tianyuan Army to eradicate it, but since the Tianyuan Army has just been established, its strength is not sufficient.] [Thus, you position the Tianyuan Army 10,000 li away from this outpost, then alone eradicate this outpost.] [As expected, you easily eliminate this outpost and attribute this merit to the Tianyuan Army.] [As anticipated, the news of the destruction of the outpost quickly spreads throughout Heavenly Demon City.] [The reputation of Tianyuan Army becomes even more prominent, and more loose cultivators wish to join...] [And because you have slain thousands of Foreign Races, you have gained a considerable amount of Flesh Essence, which can be used to craft Rebirth Pills.] [However, before that, you make a trip to Blue Star.] [According to your plan, you inform Heavenly Secret Pavilion about the Red Moon intelligence.] [And spend about five years relocating the Blue Star Human Race to Little Qingyun Realm.] [Leading two Taiyi Golden Immortals to the Endless Abyss, you return to Little Qingyun Realm and connect with Qingyun Sect.] [At Three Immortals Peak, you successfully obtain Enlightenment Tea.] [You gift the new talent, Hundred Flowers Divine Body, to Jin Congxue; in just five years, she has achieved Divinity Transformation cultivation...] [Such a terrifying cultivation speed makes you suspect that Jin Congxue might also possess some Divine Body...] [But you can''t discern any clues for the moment and simply don''t think too much about it.] [In the sixth year, you assume Jiang Hao''s identity again and make a trip to Heavenly Demon City, wanting to see the establishment situation of Tianyuan Army at this time.] [Because you have continuously provided Spiritual Liquid and Elixirs in these years, many cultivators flock towards it.] [In just five years, dozens of Immortals joined the Tianyuan Army, hundreds of Tribulation Crossing cultivators... and Mahayana, Body Integration cultivators surpassed over three thousand people!] [Such numbers can already be considered as one of the top combat forces in Little Qingyun Realm.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly. "Tianyuan Army has been established, it seems there''s no problem... but the pace is still too slow!" "Five years, I can''t wait that long..." Su Xing slightly shook his head, five years in simulation is just a flick of a finger. But in reality, after five years, what extent Su Xing''s cultivation strength will achieve is unknown! Chapter 1003 - 353: Red Moon Has Not Yet Died, Breaking the Fifth Level Limit!_2 Therefore, the help from Tianyuan Army to Su Xing in due time will be limited... Thus, Su Xing must urgently uncover more talents. The first thing that comes to Su Xing''s mind is the Star Realm! As long as Su Xing offers the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, many elite cultivators in the Star Realm would likely be willing to work for Su Xing! Join the Tianyuan Army! "It seems I need to make a trip to the Star Realm soon!" Su Xing thought to himself. "However, at the moment, the most crucial thing is the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, to smoothly step into the Fifth Layer!" His gaze turned to the simulation panel. [Next, you took a trip to the Yellow Sand Realm and the Star Realm.] [With the help of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, you successfully gained the support of cultivators from the Star Realm, and with Spiritual Liquid as compensation, you recruited many cultivators.] [This Tianyuan Army, apart from guarding the Heavenly Demon City, also became a latent force that protects the Human Race of Great Xia, to prevent any mishaps when you are absent.] Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After making full preparations, you ventured into the Nine Heavens Domain.] [In the tenth year, you reached the Third Layer and spent two and a half years to plunder all treasures within various secret realms.] [In the thirteenth year, you successfully arrived at the Fourth Layer, you began cultivating while plundering treasures from the Fourth Layer.] [Secret realms that outsiders cultivators can hardly encounter once in thousands of years, you''ve mastered over a hundred locations, each treasure''s location is clear to you, allowing for easy acquisition.] [Thus, in a blink of an eye, sixty-four years have passed...] [In the seventy-seventh year, after more than sixty years of arduous cultivation, your strength further grew.] [Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, still remaining at the Fourth Layer Perfection, but your vitality and physical body continuously grew subtly.] [This process, you are very familiar with!] [This, is the process of breaking limits!] [According to the cultivation instructions of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, the fifth layer''s cultivation doesn''t rely on supportive cultivation items, as long as it is anything that can enhance vitality, you can consume it!] [Once you step past the Fourth Layer and reach the Fifth Layer, that would be a qualitative change in the strength of the physical body!] [Thus, you also prepared many items that enhance the physical body, including Healing Flowers, Foreign Race Flesh Essence... even Heaven and Earth Treasures found from secret realms were consumed by you!] [If it were a normal Body Refinement Cultivator, digesting such a vast amount of energy at once would certainly be impossible, even risking explosion and death!] [But you, possessing the talent Swallow Heaven and inheriting the Witch Clan bloodline, thus the ability to devour Heaven and Earth Treasures and absorb energy far exceeds typical cultivators...] [Hence, with the assistance of Healing Flowers and Flesh Essence, your physical body''s limits continued to be broken.] [Meanwhile, this year, your Spirit Domain also expanded to more than seven hundred zhang, and your mastery over the Spirit Domain further strengthened.] Back in the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured: "So, it''s time for immersive simulation!" "Using immersive simulation for a continuous duration of sixty-three years..." [Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, consuming 22,995 points of energy, remaining energy 1,762,405 points...] As the simulation prompt sounded, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the simulated world. After appearing in a secret realm, Su Xing surveyed his surroundings and began to steep Enlightenment Tea. "This simulation, continue to comprehend the Path of Causality and Destiny!" Su Xing took a sip of Enlightenment Tea and then began comprehending the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method. ... In the blink of an eye, fifty-four years had passed. This year, the effects of the nine leaves of Enlightenment Tea are completely exhausted. As Su Xing regained his senses from comprehension, he felt the progress of the Path of Causality and Destiny within him. "Fifty-four years of immersive simulation, under the influence of Enlightenment Tea... is comparable to over three thousand years of comprehension!" "But alas, it''s still far from reaching the Fourth Realm of the Path of Causality and Destiny!" Su Xing slightly shook his head, feeling more adept and at ease with his grasp on the Path of Causality and Destiny. If previously he was just entering the Third Realm, then now Su Xing could be considered to have explored much deeper within the Third Realm. But the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, comprehending two top-tier Great Dao simultaneously, the difficulty is still too high! "The Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method once perfected... should allow me to smoothly step into the Fourth Realm of the Path of Causality!" "But with my current pace, it might take over thirty thousand years of comprehension to successfully step into the Fourth Realm, right?" "Even with the help of Enlightenment Tea and talent enhancement, it might still require over five hundred years..." Su Xing briefly calculated. Each simulation of Enlightenment Tea, nine leaves, lasting fifty-four years, amounts to three thousand two hundred forty years of comprehension... Sudden insights under double enhancement, during Nine Heavens time, equivalent to one thousand eight hundred years of comprehension! Wen Dao Pill, each piece equivalent to a hundred years ofApp comprehension, if an extreme quality Wen Dao Pill was refined, it should be equivalent to two hundred years ofApp comprehension... And there are nine Wen Dao Pills! Calculating this way, each immersive simulation, the comprehension gained, could reach a maximum of six thousand eight hundred forty years! According to the timeline to smoothly step into the Fourth Realm of the Path of Causality and Destiny, it would require at least four simulations! "Even worse, currently I cannot refine an extreme quality Enlightenment Pill, therefore even with all the comprehension dedicated to the Path of Causality and Destiny, it would require about five simulations or more!" Thinking of this, Su Xing slightly shook his head. "Gains and efforts are often directly proportional..." "But in addition to comprehending the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, other Dao and even the Spirit Domain shouldn''t be overlooked!" After some hesitation, Su Xing decided to only use the benefits of Enlightenment Tea for comprehending the Path of Causality and Destiny. As for Sudden Insights and the effects of Wen Dao Pills, they would be used for other aspects... Chapter 1004 - 353: Red Moon Has Not Yet Died, Breaking the Fifth Level Limit!_3 "Indeed, since this is the case, let''s first comprehend the Way of Speed!" "The Way of Speed, though not a supreme Dao, has a slightly lower difficulty in comprehension, and it should take less than ten thousand years to enter the Fourth Realm?" Thinking so, Su Xing activated the Inevitability of Insight. He began to comprehend the Speed Dao... In the blink of an eye, nine days passed, and the effect of the Inevitability of Insight gradually dissipated. Su Xing withdrew from the state of insight and felt the progress in the Speed Grand Dao, slightly nodding and saying: "Good, the Way of Speed has improved quite a bit more than before..." "This immersive simulation task can also be considered perfectly completed!" After that, Su Xing had no intention of staying in the Nine Heavens Domain any longer. He still had nine leaves of Enlightenment Tea left, yet to be refined. It took two months, and Su Xing successfully refined nine Wen Dao Pills. With dozens upon hundreds of Alchemy Experiences, this simulation finally allowed Su Xing to produce his first superior Wen Dao Pill! A superior Wen Dao Pill, one month of comprehension, can equate to two hundred years of arduous cultivation! The effectiveness is twice that of a normal Wen Dao Pill. This means that Su Xing''s skill in refining Wen Dao Pills has completely reached the Great Achievement Realm! "Tsk tsk, Mahayana level refining skill... The probability of producing superior Wen Dao Pills will be higher from now on!" "Until finally, I can refine perfect Wen Dao Pills one hundred percent of the time, and at this alchemy, I would also be considered having reached the Perfection level!" Su Xing thought so. "At this time, it should already be over one hundred thirty years into the simulation... It''s time to leave the Nine Heavens Domain and take a look at the Little Qingyun Realm!" Thinking this, Su Xing wondered how the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm would be without the Red Moon? Thus, Su Xing spent a year and a half to travel from the fourth level of Nine Heavens Domain back to the Little Qingyun Realm. Upon arrival in the Little Qingyun Realm, Su Xing observed the recent situation of the Great Xia Human Race. More than a hundred years had passed, and the common people of the Great Xia Country had changed generations several times. To Su Xing''s surprise, the probability of Qi Refinement practitioners being born in the Great Xia Country was extremely high, even higher than in the Little Qingyun Realm! Almost among every ten people, there would be one Qi Refinement practitioner! Even, Su Xing saw a cultivator close to the Peak of Divinity Transformation... This was the strongest among the common people of Great Xia Country born in the past hundred years! Su Xing was somewhat surprised to find that Jin Congxue had actually advanced to the pinnacle of the Body Integration Realm in just over a hundred years. As for Su Xing''s parents and close friends, they had already been granted Spiritual Roots by Su Xing and embarked on the path of cultivation... Su Xing watched all this secretly, not revealing himself, knowing that they were doing well was enough for him. Later, Su Xing went to the frontline of Heavenly Demon City to inquire about the recent situation on the battlefield. The news of "Jiang Hao" returning to Heavenly Demon City quickly caused a sensation! In just a hundred years, under Su Xing''s command, the Tianyuan Army had grown more than tenfold! One hundred thousand soldiers, all above the Body Integration, Mahayana Realm... And hundreds of experts in the Immortal Realm serving as Chiliarchs and Ten Thousand Commanders. The only disappointment for Su Xing was that besides him, in the Tianyuan Army, there were only three Heavenly Immortals and nine Earth Immortals stationed. Most of these powerful beings were invited by Su Xing from the Star Realm... However, it was precisely because of the existence of the Tianyuan Army that the foreign races could no longer contend with the Human Clan Cultivators on the frontline. The Little Qingyun Realm had been very peaceful for a hundred years. ... As the immersive simulation ended, Su Xing returned to reality, slightly nodding and saying: "Did the Red Moon really die?" "It''s been over a hundred years... and it still hasn''t appeared." Su Xing let out a slight sigh of relief, the Little Qingyun Realm was now without the Red-eyed Foreign Race. Together with the changes Su Xing made to this world and the appearance of the Tianyuan Army, it was indeed enough to keep this world safe. "But the cost was that Blue Star nearly got destroyed..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, even though he tried hard to save the lives of the Blue Star Human Race, besides Great Xia, people from other nations also suffered with over eighty percent of the Human Race dying in that calamity. "Well, this simulation can''t manage that much!" "I must quickly break through to the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, and I cannot neglect the cultivation in the Spirit Domain!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the Simulation Panel. [After much consideration, you decided to stay on Blue Star.] [The Flesh Essence of Foreign Race Deities is an excellent material for Body Refinement, and with a sufficient quantity, you decide to use it to help yourself successfully break through to the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!] [Thus, you practice the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision daily, enhancing the Physical Body, breaking limits, while also striving harder to comprehend the Spirit Domain.] [In the blink of an eye, sixty years passed.] [In the second century, this year, your Spirit Domain coverage reached a thousand feet!] [A thousand feet Spirit Domain, already not a small range, this means you can effectively hit most targets during combat.] Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Over this sixty-year period, you rejuvenate with a Bulb of Heavenly Flower every two years, and your physical body''s vitality becomes even more vigorous.] [Even though not reaching the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, your Physical Body was still significantly stronger than before...] [But as the Bulbs of Heavenly Flower are limited, fortunately, you have the Luo Tian Mirror, you urge the Sect Members inside the Luo Tian Mirror to help you cultivate more Bulbs of Heavenly Flower, ensuring that every two years, you can consume one.] [The rest of the time, you consume the more readily available Flesh Essence, tempering the Physical Body.] [Thus, another hundred years passed...] [In the third century, your Spirit Domain size extended to over fifteen hundred feet.] [Compared to a hundred years ago, your Physical Body also more than doubled in strength!] Chapter 1005 - 353: Red Moon Has Not Yet Died, Breaking Through the Fifth Layer Limit!_4 [Over the past century, because of your return, the Tianyuan Army has grown increasingly powerful.] [You led the Tianyuan Army and almost drove the Foreign Race out of the Little Qingyun Realm.] [The number of Foreign Race beings you encounter on the battlefield has dwindled, often after searching thousands of miles, you might find only a few Different Race Deities.] [This... makes you somewhat puzzled...] [You suspect in your heart that perhaps the Foreign Race is planning to shift the battlefield, temporarily giving up the attack on the Little Qingyun Realm...] In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this. "Foreign Race Deities, there''s never just one Red Moon... In fact, the number of strong beings among the Foreign Race, should be more than in the Three Thousand Worlds!" "Even if Red Moon has perished... The Foreign Race would not possibly give up invading the Three Thousand Worlds! It''s just a matter of how long the invasion takes!" According to Su Xing''s judgment, the Foreign Race is stronger than the Three Thousand Worlds. This means that invading the Three Thousand Worlds is inevitable. And Red Moon was a major force in the Foreign Race''s invasion of the Qingyun Realm; having lost it... that''s why the Little Qingyun Realm is now safe. But this does not mean that the Foreign Race will give up on the invasion! "However... to know the exact news, there''s only one place to go!" "Heavenly Secret Pavilion!" After some thought, Su Xing decided to inquire at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. His gaze fell on the Simulation Panel. [After much contemplation, you decide to go to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to inquire about the situation of the Foreign Race.] [At this moment, the Little Qingyun Realm is relatively stable, so the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is still open.] [You spent some resources and successfully purchased some key intelligence from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!] [The Foreign Race, due to the strength of the Tianyuan Army, has temporarily ceased their invasion of the Little Qingyun Realm, but has accelerated the invasion speed in other worlds!] [Their targets are nearby smaller worlds like the Blackwater Realm and the Yellow Sand Realm!] [Moreover, because of the Foreign Race''s invasion, these two small worlds... are already facing imminent disaster...] [Besides, the main forces of the Descending Sect are also concentrated in these two worlds.] [Heavenly Secret Pavilion intelligence discovered that the Descending Sect is performing some kind of mysterious Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, constantly engaging in slaughter, seemingly for an imminent blood sacrifice...] In the real world, Su Xing''s heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. Slaughter... Blood sacrifice! "Hiss, I knew it, Red Moon wouldn''t be so easily defeated!" Su Xing rubbed his brow, feeling a headache coming on. After all, Red Moon was a being that survived even against a Daluo Golden Immortal! Therefore... it''s hard to ensure that it doesn''t have a trump card! As a deity related to slaughter and death among the Foreign Race... truly killing it is just too difficult! "So, those two Taiyi, they didn''t completely deal with Red Moon after all?" "Fortunately, the two Taiyi forced Red Moon into false death and escaping... stretching out the revival time by hundreds of years!" Su Xing estimated that Red Moon''s main battlefield had shifted away from Blue Star. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Now, probably very few people know the whereabouts of Red Moon''s true body... Killing Red Moon has become increasingly difficult! "However, these aren''t what I need to care about anymore!" "This simulation, reaching three hundred years... It''s time for me to leave the Little Qingyun Realm!" Su Xing knew that staying in the Little Qingyun Realm was no longer safe. Therefore, he must return to the Nine Heavens Domain to make a final push towards the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision! His gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [In the three hundred and first year, you left the Little Qingyun Realm and headed to the Nine Heavens Domain!] [In just two years, you reached the fourth level of heaven.] [In the three hundred and third year, the new batch of sky-mending flowers that you had arranged to be cultivated matured... you prepare to make the final push towards the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!] Chapter 1006 - 354: The Appearance of the Ancient Witch Tribe, Fierce Battle! Tianbu Hua, among the Heaven and Earth Treasures, is also extremely rare.] [The enhancement to your blood and qi, the strengthening of your life force astonishes you... It is precisely because of its outstanding effects that you would cultivate the Tianbu Hua at any cost.] [Fortunately, the Luo Tian Mirror and Shennong Youtian did not disappoint you.] [After over a hundred years of cultivation, the second batch of Tianbu Hua successfully matured, and you also expended mana cultivation to successfully bring out over a hundred Tianbu Hua.] [Afterward, you consumed one Tianbu Hua each year, coupled with Flesh Essence, practicing the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision.] [The limit of your Physical Body is constantly being broken through, and you are getting closer and closer to the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision...] [Thus, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye...] [One day in the four hundred and tenth year, while you were cultivating, you felt an invisible shackle inside your body break away instantly.] [In just a brief moment, your Physical Body and Life Force both underwent sublimation...] [The originally tough surface of your skin seems to have gained an additional layer of jade-like material, multiplying the defense of your Physical Body several times over.] [Life Force surges continuously from within your body, as if no existence could extinguish your Physical Body...] [Your strength increased manifold, shattering stars with your fists is still not a dream!] [Congratulations, you''ve successfully advanced to the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!] In the real world, Su Xing''s every pore trembled with excitement as he read this. The fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, equivalent to a Profound Immortal Realm Physical Body, is finally achieved at this moment! "The profound mysteries of the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision are definitely not as simple as the simulator describes..." "The terrifying improvement it brings has to be experienced in reality!" Su Xing did not know how terrifying the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision was. After all, in history, not many from the Witch Clan were able to cultivate to such a realm. But he knew, an ordinary Profound Immortal paled in comparison to a True Immortal... too far behind! And in the Profound Immortal Realm, within the Three Thousand Worlds, one can already become a dominant force... Wherever one goes, they would be an honored guest. "The battles of the Profound Immortal Realm, ordinary worlds can hardly bear..." "After successfully advancing to the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, my strength should be considered to have climbed another step... Although it''s still far from the Golden Immortal level, in the Profound Immortal Realm, there should be very few who can threaten my existence now, right?" Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued: "The most important thing is, now I should be able to head to The Fifth Layer of Heaven!" Su Xing felt a bit excited in his heart; if he could go to The Fifth Layer of Heaven, then perhaps he could simulate for even longer! Even in The Fifth Layer of Heaven, the Secret Realms and the Supreme Treasures it contains, could allow Su Xing to explore... With this thought, Su Xing looked forward to the Simulation Panel. [After several months, you adapted to the sudden increase in Physical Body strength, then decided to venture to The Fifth Layer of Heaven for exploration.] [You operated the Body-Protecting Sword Aura, released the Spirit Domain, and hurried towards the location of The Fifth Layer of Heaven...] [You stepped into the terrifying Gang Qi of The Void, feeling the horrifying Gang Winds that seemed capable of destroying everything.] [But after entering the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, your Physical Body and even your Origin Force have both grown further.] [Compared to the last time you braved the Gang Winds, this time it was much easier.] [In the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed...] [You were not clear on how vast the area of The Void Gang Winds stretched, but at the very least, it spanned millions of miles.] [At this moment, your Body-Protecting Sword Aura has been completely shattered, and the Spirit Domain that enveloped and protected your body has vanished.] [Occasionally, you would swing out a strand of Sword Qi, cutting through The Void Gang Winds, sometimes you used the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique to disrupt the position of Gang Winds... Even so, some Gang Winds still struck your Physical Body.] [Thankfully, the increase in Physical Body brought by the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision allowed you to resist most of the attacks facing The Void Gang Winds.] [Gang Winds scraped across your body, leaving traces of blood, but they ultimately did not inflict serious injury again.] [Thus, you endured the pain and rushed towards The Fifth Layer of Heaven.] [In the blink of an eye, another two days passed...] [Finally, when you passed through an invisible barrier, you felt as though you had entered a new world.] [You have successfully arrived at The Fifth Layer of Heaven!] Back in the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly as he read this. "Before stepping into the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, I tried to pass through The Void Gang Winds, which only held for a few hours..." "Even sustaining serious injuries, barely clinging to life..." "But now, although I still get injured, the situation has improved way too much!" "This is the effect of the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!" Su Xing estimated that after stepping into the fifth level, his blood and qi, Physical Body, Life Force, and even strength would increase by several multiples or even tenfold! The path of Body Refinement is increasingly difficult as one progresses, even more challenging than Qi Refinement. But each realm''s growth is also terrifyingly significant... "Regardless, finally successfully stepped into the fifth level... as long as I can survive in this level, I can avoid being found by Qing Yunzi in five hundred years!" Su Xing was curious about how long he could simulate after stepping into the fifth level. His gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [After relentless efforts, you have successfully reached The Fifth Layer of Heaven.] [But just after stepping into The Fifth Layer of Heaven, your complexion dramatically changed.] [Because within The Fifth Layer of Heaven, there are also The Void Gang Winds!] S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Although not as dense as before, these sudden and unpredictable Gang Winds still pose a constant threat to you.] [This made you suck in a breath of cold air; if one doesn''t have sufficient strength, even if they fortunately reach The Fifth Layer of Heaven, they would find it hard to survive.] Chapter 1007 - 354: The Appearance of the Ancient Witch Tribe, Fierce Battle! - Part 2 [In the Fifth Layer of Heaven, you had only explored for a month, but you faced no less than a hundred threats from the Void Tempest...] [And the constant threat of the Void Tempest also made it impossible for you to focus on cultivating.] [Therefore, the only solution for you was to find a relatively safe Secret Realm and enter it to cultivate temporarily.] [With that in mind, you began to try to find a Secret Realm...] [After spending most of a year, you finally found an entrance to a Secret Realm.] [But as you were about to enter the Secret Realm, a sharp pain came from your third eye, and your Fortune Talent issued a frantic warning!] [You had a vague premonition in your heart that if you entered this Secret Realm, you would likely die without a life to return to!] [You immediately understood that within this Secret Realm, there must be Demonic Beasts comparable to a Golden Immortal, or perhaps Void Beasts...] [Thus, you gave up on entering this Secret Realm and decided to explore other Secret Realms.] [So, several more years passed...] [In the four hundred fifteenth year, over these years, you attempted to find more than ten Secret Realms, but each contained dangers that could lead to your utter destruction.] [If you do not enter a Secret Realm, most of the threats you face come from the Void Tempest, and if you are careful, at most, you cannot focus on cultivating, but you won''t die.] [But if you enter a Secret Realm to explore, it''s more likely to be perilous...] Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Thus, you decide to seek out a few more Secret Realms until you find a safe spot.] In the real world, Su Xing sighed. "After advancing to the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, my overall strength should be around the level of a Peak Profound Immortal?" "But even so... it merely meets the standard for entering the Fifth Layer of Heaven." "In the Fifth Layer of Heaven, even the weakest dangers are probably at the level of a Profound Immortal... even a Golden Immortal risks falling if not careful." "Therefore, I must be cautious!" Su Xing knew that his current strength was too weak; if he tried to forcefully enter those Secret Realms, it would be a near-death experience. Better to find a safe place, cultivate for more years to strengthen further, and then proceed to explore! "With Fortune Talent on me, I hope to find a safe Secret Realm!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.] [In the four hundred twentieth year, over these years, you successively found more than ten Secret Realms.] [Finally, one day you stopped at the entrance of a Secret Realm.] [Your Fortune Talent still issued warnings, but not as strong as before.] [Your mind sank into the Sea of Stars, using the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, and you began Divination.] [Ultimately, the Divination showed a slightly ominous result.] [Although there is some danger, if you overcome it, there will be certain gains.] [Although it is an ominous divination, this is the best result you have encountered in ten years.] [You decide not to waste any more time, staying in the outside world, still unable to cultivate in peace, better to take the risk.] [Thus, you operated the Dao of Space and entered this Secret Realm.] [...] [This Secret Realm is not large, only about a hundred miles in radius.] [You were intrigued, and your Divine Sense instantly enveloped the entire Secret Realm.] [Under the detection of your Divine Sense, this seems to be an isolated island, just a hundred miles in radius, beyond the island is the shapeless Void Turbulence, extremely dangerous...] [But the ecological environment on this isolated island surprised you.] [This isolated island seems to be the kingdom of giants!] [On the island, all the flowers, grass, and trees appear enormously large.] [Grass over ten meters tall, towering trees hundreds of meters high... even a piece of rock is like a small mountain...] [Just within your Divine Sense detection, you discovered no less than hundreds of huge insects, originally a few centimeters long, now as big as elephants.] [You spent half a day carefully searching this Secret Realm,] [Eventually, your gaze turned to a volcano in the center of the island!] [It is an extinct volcano, but the crater is tens of thousands of meters wide...] [And your Divine Sense, inside the volcano, sensed a terrifying Life Force, even stronger than yours!] [You knew in your heart that the danger came from this volcano!] [So, you headed to the volcano crater, wanting to explore a bit.] [Next, you saw a horrifying giant thousands of meters tall!] [This giant, like a human, has limbs and features... but its body is like a mountain.] [What makes you feel ominous is the black aura entwined around the giant, which makes you feel uneasy.] [At this moment, this giant is sleeping.] [After close observation, you had a vague guess.] [This seems to be a member of the Witch Clan!] [A height of thousands of meters, a human-like body... and this terrifying Life Force like a fierce sun, all indicate his identity!] [Although you are tempted to awaken this giant of the Witch Clan, the sharp pain in your third eye reminds you that it bodes ill.] [After much hesitation, you decide not to awaken it for now, and instead stay to cultivate in the Secret Realm.] [However, just as you were about to leave...] [This terrifying giant of the Witch Clan suddenly opened its eyes, revealing pitch-black pupils and whites, exuding a malevolent and murderous aura.] [You instantly understood, this is a demon-possessed giant of the Ancient Witch Tribe!] [Without any hesitation, this ancient giant stood up, its palm large enough to obscure the sky, swinging towards you.] [Seeing this, you hurriedly operated the power of space, and teleported tens of miles away.] [At the same time, the terrifying volcano erupted, the entire crater was destroyed by the giant''s palm, and massive amounts of lava flowed into the land.] Chapter 1008 - 354: The Ancient Witch Tribe Appears, Fierce Battle!_3 [In the next instant, the giant leaped and landed upon the earth, causing a terrifying earthquake that made the entire isolated island tremble and the ground begin to collapse...] [Seeing this, a taut sensation gripped your heart, not out of fear of battling the Witch Clan giant.] [But because the battle between you two would easily destroy this secret realm.] [Thus, you managed to lure the Witch Clan giant into the void of The Fifth Layer of Heaven.] [The irrational Witch Clan giant did not hesitate, chasing after you, leaving this secret realm.] [After leaving the isolated island mystic realm, you finally had a clear view of this Witch Clan giant''s entire appearance.] [Its body roughly three thousand zhang tall, its weight unknown, its expression ferocious like a demon god, its eyes black and red, seemingly wanting to annihilate all living beings it saw.] [With a swing of its hand, hurricanes erupted in the space, and the terrifying Gang Qi came rushing towards you.] [Seeing this, you quickly activated your Body-Protecting Sword Aura, solidly defending yourself, then shouted explosively, your veins bulging, attempting to withstand this palm strike.] [However, the horrifying brute strength, like stars falling, directly sent you flying hundreds of miles away before you barely stopped.] [You looked at your twisted left arm, your eyes carrying a trace of somberness.] [In your first exchange, you unsurprisingly fell completely at a disadvantage...] [The huge difference brought by size, and the powerful Witch Clan bloodline, made your proud strength insignificant before him.] [Watching the Witch Clan giant charging at you, you stared wide-eyed and deployed your Divine SkillsHeaven and Earth Avatar!] [You saw your physical body rapidly growing... one zhang, ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang...] [Eventually, you turned into a three thousand zhang tall giant, behind which seemed to be a golden Ancestral Witch roaring angrily.] [Faced with the raging Witch Clan giant, you did not hesitate to throw a punch at his cheek.] [With that punch, black and red blood flowed, spilling onto The Fifth Layer of Heaven, like turning into a blood rain.] [With just one punch, you sent this Witch Clan giant retreating a thousand miles away.] [Feeling the numbness in your fist, you looked solemn, gaining an understanding of this giant''s approximate strength through several exchanges.] [This was a late-stage Profound Immortal Witch Clan giant, who for some unknown reason, lost his senses and survived a calamity instead of dying.] [He was not from the Star Witch tribe, but his strength was so immense, that even after you deployed the Heaven and Earth Avatar, he seemed to be slightly more powerful...] [Benefiting from the strong Witch Clan bloodline, this giant possessed strength comparable to a peak Profound Immortal.] [But you did not retreat, instead, you engaged him head-on.] [The battle between members of the Witch Clan was simple and straightforward...] [Every punch brought fleshly contact, every movement capable of causing mountains to crumble, and the earth to split...] [In the blink of an eye, you exchanged hundreds of rounds, but for you, this was merely a warm-up.] [Seizing an opportunity, the terrifying Five Elements immortal power coursed through your body, directly blasting towards the Witch Clan giant...] [The terrifying power of the Five Elements Burst Technique was even enough to destroy an entire continent... but when it hit the Witch Clan giant, it only injured him, causing him to howl in pain.] [The battle still continued...] [In the blink of an eye, three months passed.] [This battle lasted for nearly a hundred days, with you incarnated as a Witch Clan Avatar, your vitality was abundant as if you were a god, a mere hundred days of battle leaving you still full of energy.] [But the opposing Witch Clan giant was even more terrifying...] [You even had the illusion that the battle over these three months seemed to fully awaken him...] [Seeing that the battle was reaching its climax, you raised your hand and pointed directly above the Nine Heavens, as if stars shone.] [A moment later, there was a whistling sound by your ear, and you retreated thousands of miles.] [The next second, a small asteroid with a diameter of a hundred miles was pulled down from the Nine Heavens by your power of the stars, crashing towards the Witch Clan giant at a shocking speed.] [The three thousand zhang tall Witch Clan giant, in front of the massive star, looked like a mere ant...] [This move, Majestic Star Attraction!] [After entering the Fourth Layer, the stars you could summon became increasingly massive.] [After summoning this hundred-mile diameter star, you paused briefly to catch your breath, evidently Majestic Star Attraction was not small in consumption.] [Just when you thought your strike could severely injure it, terrifying sounds came from thousands of miles away.] [In the next instant, that star turned into a sky full of rubble, shooting in all directions...] [This Witch Clan giant actually obliterated a star with a single punch!] [Even though you had some expectations, the failure of the strike still made your face look rather unsightly.] [After regaining some strength, you tangled with the Witch Clan giant once again.] [In the blink of an eye, another nine months had passed.] [The four hundred and twenty-first year, this was the first year of your battle with this Witch Clan giant, and the battle lasted a full year.] [You traversed millions of miles in your fight, with assaults powerful enough to destroy a Minor Thousand Worlds.] [But here, in the Nine Heavens Domain, an Ancient battlefield... your battle only managed to disturb the Gang Qi winds of the Void, not destroying the domain.] Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [This year of high-intensity battles greatly exhausted your strength; you consumed countless tons of Flesh Essence to sustain the operation of the Heaven and Earth Law Phase.] [This year''s battle made you realize that killing a late-stage Profound Immortal from the Witch Clan is even more challenging than slaying a peak Profound Immortal Cultivator!] [Even though you had dozens of chances to seriously injure him, the terrifying Life Force of the Witch Clan enabled it to quickly recuperate.] [However, the prolonged battle over the year also deepened your understanding of the Great Dao and Spirit Domain.] [With a thought, an invisible sword of the Void appeared in your hand, this several hundred feet long invisible sword, formed entirely by the Dao of Space, capable of severing the Void!] [With a gentle wave, the sword through the space severed the body of the Witch Clan individual, spilling blood over thousands of miles.] [But the next second, the severed limbs of this Witch Clan giant began to regrow...] [Such battles had occurred dozens of times over the year.] [The fourth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, with its terrifying Life Force, was also manifested in this Witch Clan giant, its recovery ability even stronger than yours...] [You knew that continuing this way, although you would not be defeated, you also could not kill this giant.] [Thus, you began to deeply comprehend the Great Dao you realized, integrating the Spirit Domain within a radius of one thousand five hundred feet, with more than ten kinds of Great Dao moving with your mind.] [You swiftly approached the Witch Clan giant, then unleashed the Way of Cause and Effect with no reservation!] [With the Way of Cause and Effect, you forcibly reversed the Witch Clan giant''s ability to recover from injuries! Making it temporarily unable to heal...] [But the cost was the loss of three thousand years of your lifespan!] [Then, with the Dao of Slaughter added onto the Sword Dao, the terrifying Sword Qi pierced towards the body of the Witch Clan giant...] [Regardless, the Witch Clan giant continued to swing its fists at you as before.] [But soon it angrily discovered, the power of its bloodline that healed its injuries... seemed to have vanished!] [And you, taking advantage of this opportunity, engaged in an intense battle with it!] [For every day you sealed this Witch Clan giant''s self-healing ability, you had to sacrifice a hundred years of your lifespan...] [This battle lasted for a full six months!] [And you, spending just twenty thousand years of your lifespan, prevented the Witch Clan giant from recovering from its injuries, ultimately killing it through exhaustion...] [The four hundred and twenty-second year, after a year and a half of battling, you finally slew this Witch Clan giant.] [Its huge body and strong bloodline still left you feeling apprehensive.] [After slaying this Witch Clan giant, you returned to that Isolated Island Mystic Realm, preparing to cultivate there.] [Through your investigation, you discovered that this Isolated Island Mystic Realm was extremely mysterious, hosting many Spirit Plants with names you couldn''t mention!] [These Spiritual Medicines, Immortal Elixirs, all originated from Ancient Times, most of which are now extinct in the Cultivation World.] [Within a hundred miles of the island, there are thousands of types of Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Plants, most of which are used for Body Refinement...] [Your heart rejoiced, and you also had some guesses about the island.] [This island could be a World Fragment from Ancient Times, very likely a dwelling place of the Witch Tribe.] [In that great battle, this island was not destroyed, hence it has been passed down to today, lost within the Fifth Layer of Heaven...] [After killing that giant comparable to a peak Profound Immortal, you peacefully stayed on this island to cultivate.] [And those Heaven and Earth Treasures are greatly beneficial for you to cultivate the fifth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, enhancing your Physical Body...] Chapter 1009 - 355: Bringing Out Rewards Cultivation Level, Abnormal Talent In the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow. According to his guess, this secret realm must be a gathering place for the Ancient Witch Clan during the Ancient Times. The environment here is suitable for the life of the Witch Clan, and naturally, it also contains some Spiritual Medicines and Heaven and Earth Treasures used by them. "Tsk tsk... The Heaven and Earth Treasures used by the Witch Clan mostly enhance the vital energy needed..." "It seems that this trip to the secret realm was not in vain!" According to what Su Xing knew, the cultivation of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision at the fifth layer required many Heaven and Earth Treasures that supplement vital energy. Gathering these treasures would require much effort from Su Xing, and he could not obtain those extinct Spiritual Medicines on his own. However, the appearance of this secret realm undoubtedly saved Su Xing a lot of trouble. "Indeed, I must remember the location of this secret realm, as the cultivation of Grand Witch Body Refining Decision in the future will still depend on these Heaven and Earth Treasures..." Su Xing thought this way. But aside from discovering this secret realm during this simulation, the experience of fighting with giants from the Ancient Witch Tribe also brought significant benefits to Su Xing. "Now, my strength is indeed at the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm... but the combat between Profound Immortals is already difficult to determine a winner unless one side completely overpowers the other, and even slaughtering for years might not secure a kill..." Su Xing thought of this with a bit of a headache, realizing the formidable aspect of the Ancient Witch Tribe. Their terrifying physical bodies, even stronger than Su Xing''s own, made them extremely hard to kill. Even Su Xing had to pay the price of tens of thousands of years of lifespan, reversing Cause and Effect, to just barely manage to kill that Profound Immortal Realm Witch... "Tsk tsk, just curious about what exactly is the origin of that Witch?" "Although ancient texts record that the Witch Clan is tyrannical and fond of slaughter... it shouldn''t be a fight to death upon meeting, right?" Su Xing thought about the abnormality displayed by that giant Witch, which might have been influenced by something unknown, that turned him into that state. "However, it''s a relief to have a place to stay in The Fifth Layer of Heaven, hoping that in that realm, I can possibly shield myself from Qing Yunzi''s pursuit and cultivate for a longer period..." Su Xing was somewhat hopeful, looking towards the simulation panel. [In the four hundred and twenty-fifth year, you stayed in that secret realm to cultivate, spending your days practicing the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and comprehending the Spirit Domain.] [In the blink of an eye, decades passed...] [In the five hundredth year, after decades of cultivation, your Spirit Domain expanded to over eighteen hundred feet, and the power of your Spirit Domain further increased.] [However, what troubles you is that the progress of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision has slowed down...] [The fifth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, comparable to a Profound Immortal.] [And for a Profound Immortal cultivator, a single Realm breakthrough can take tens of thousands of years.] [Even with your astonishing talent, advancing from the entry to minor achievement of the fifth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision might also take a thousand years!] [That too, is after calculating the addition of your talent...] [The path of cultivation becomes harder the further one progresses, and you can feel that, jumping a minor level in a thousand years is unprecedented.] [But for you, the speed is still too slow...] [If following the previous simulation durations, the accumulations of two simulations might just be enough to raise the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision''s fifth layer to minor achievement...] [The accumulation of vital energy, physical body refinement, this is inherently a slow and meticulous process, even with the aid of Heaven and Earth Treasures, the pace is still slow.] [But fortunately, you are not in a hurry, aside from cultivating the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, you also focus on cultivating your Spirit Domain.] [You haven''t left that isolated island secret realm, but have set up Prohibitions and Formations within the secret realm, shielding the Heavenly Secrets, hoping to interfere with Qing Yunzi''s Divination.] [Every day, you are immersed in cultivation, days passing by, and it seems Qing Yunzi has yet to find you.] [In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed...] [In the six hundredth year, compared to a hundred years ago, your physical body has again slightly improved, but it is still far from the minor achievement of the fifth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision.] [Fortunately, after a hundred years of cultivation, your Spirit Domain has expanded to two thousand feet, and its power has also been further enhanced.] [After a hundred years of cultivation, you are confident that if you were to face that giant Witch in battle again, perhaps you wouldn''t have to pay such a great price...] [Just when you think you''ve completely escaped Qing Yunzi''s pursuit.] [One day, your Talent for avoiding danger sent a warning.] [The next day, Qing Yunzi found you.] [In the midst of The Void, a black silhouette tore open space, stepping into the isolated island secret realm.] [This person was none other than Qing Yunzi''s Evil Corpse!] [Qing Yunzi pinched his fingers for a calculation, his face showing a mocking smile, he figured out the Divination method you learned was the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method!] [This method, used to divine one''s own fate, ends in death... but more renowned, is the Great Celestial Observation Method!] [Just as Qing Yunzi was about to make his move, you, at the brink of death, voiced out the doubt in your heart: Where is the Great Celestial Observation Method?] [Qing Yunzi did not hide it; he told you that the Great Celestial Observation Method has always been mysterious, known only by a handful in the Three Thousand Worlds, and he happens to know it!] [The Great Celestial Observation Method, cultivated by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, can divine the Three Thousand Worlds, cycle time... it''s the epitome of the Path of Divination in the world.] [After explaining, Qing Yunzi killed you with a palm strike...] Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You died!] [Ding, this simulation has ended!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing widened his eyes. This simulation seemed to have provided a valuable piece of information! "The Great Celestial Observation Method... cultivated by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master huh?" Su Xing muttered softly, speculating that both the Minor and Great Celestial Observation Methods must have originated from the Ancient Star Witch tribe. Chapter 1010 - 355: Bringing Out Reward Cultivation Level, Abnormal Talent And so it is with the Great Celestial Observation Method, it too, has long been lost... Perhaps, within its oblivion, it was fortuitously acquired by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master? Su Xing pondered thoughtfully. "Great Celestial Observation Method, divining the destiny of the Three Thousand Worlds... Can it also divine reincarnation and time?" Su Xing found it somewhat daunting. If the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master could truly peer into the timeline, then he would undoubtedly be the last person Su Xing would want to provoke. But then, Su Xing shook his head slightly. "The Path of Time is the foremost of the Ten Thousand Paths in this world... Not to mention the Great Luo Golden Immortal, nor even a Saint... To interfere with the future and the past timeline, it''s probably not very likely..." Su Xing tended to believe that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master''s method could divine future possibilities... but not to directly spy on time. "However, it''s only a matter of time before I come into contact with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master..." According to the intelligence known to Su Xing, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master usually abstains from worldly affairs, but if one were to top the three lists of Heaven, Earth, and Man, one might meet the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master and have a question answered. Depending on which list one tops, the complexity of the question one could ask varies. If one were only the champion of the Man List, the value of the information obtained might be limited. But if someone could top the lists of Heaven and Earth, then perhaps they could ask for some truly valuable information. Su Xing closed his eyes and thought, thoroughly pondering the last hundred years of simulation messages without missing a word. After a moment, he nodded and said: "Anyway, if it''s within The Fifth Layer of Heaven, I might be able to fend off Qing Yunzi''s perception!" "At the very least, simulate six hundred years of time!" This time, Su Xing had broken his own record for simulation. But six hundred years... it''s still too little! Su Xing estimated that if he wanted to enter The Fifth Layer of Heaven, it would be impossible without reaching the Golden Immortal Realm. This meant that before reaching the Golden Immortal, each simulation by Su Xing would only span a mere six hundred years... Only extending by a hundred years, if following the difficulty of Profound Immortal Realm cultivation, perhaps it would be difficult for Su Xing to reach the Golden Immortal Realm in just a year and a half of simulation? "So... The next simulation must head to the Endless Sea Domain!" Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although Su Xing''s Mana Cultivation had not reached the Profound Immortal level, his Physical Strength was there, which meant he might not manage to traverse the Endless Sea Domain and reach the Heavenly Secrets Realm. However, preserving his life should not be difficult... "The next simulation may be worth a try!" Su Xing nodded slightly, and after summarizing the gains from this simulation, his gaze turned to the simulation''s rewards list. [Hundred Flowers Divine Body]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 Origin Energy Source points. [Grand Witch Body Refining Technique, Entry to the Fifth Layer]: Ancient Witch Clan Body Refinement secret technique, where the Fifth Layer is comparable to a Profound Immortal, forming an invincible aura around the body, capable of physically tearing through The Void, and life being tenacious and unknowable, among the entire Witch Clan, those who can cultivate to the Fifth Layer are already considered exceptional, priced at 1 million Origin Energy Source points. [True Immortal Realm, Fifth Layer Cultivation Level]: Surviving three calamities of an Immortal, achieving True Immortality, the Great Dao is within reach, with longevity as vast as the meeting of a Great Cycle! Priced at 600,000 Origin Energy Source points! [Spirit Domain Cultivation Results]: After choosing it, one''s comprehension of the Spirit Domain greatly increases, own Spirit Domain coverage extends to two thousand feet, within which Spell and Divine Skills power significantly enhance, and Dao Comprehension is readily accessible, priced at 120,000 Origin Energy Source points. Su Xing looked at the simulation panel rewards in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitching. "How much? Entry to the Fifth Layer... Priced at 1 million Origin Energy Source points?" Su Xing immediately felt a toothache. After much difficulty saving for a long time, he only had a little over 1 million Origin Energy Source points on hand. If he were to bring out the Grand Witch Body Refining Technique, Fifth Layer Cultivation, and the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results this time, he''d probably be squeezed dry! According to Su Xing''s experience, the Origin Energy Source needed for breaking through with the Grand Witch Body Refining Technique was cheaper than the Qi Refining Cultivation at the same realm. "According to estimates, this 1 million Origin Energy Source points... should be the energy required to break through the First Layer of the Profound Immortal Realm!" "However, in the simulation, after breaking through to the Fifth Layer entry, I cultivated for another hundred years, so it should cost a bit more?" Su Xing smacked his lips; regardless, the Qi Refining First Layer realm costing 1 million Origin Energy Source points was still beyond Su Xing''s expectations! How could Su Xing earn 1 million Origin Energy Source points in a week''s hard work? Perhaps... it will be difficult for Su Xing to bring out cultivation levels successfully in every week''s simulation in the future. Even if he could cultivate to a realm breakthrough, the Origin Energy Source would be insufficient... "Well then, there will be a way out when we come to the hill... For now, it''s better to focus on breaking through the realm first!" Muttering to himself, Su Xing said: "I choose to bring out the Grand Witch Body Refining Technique, Entry to the Fifth Layer Cultivation... and the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results!" [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Grand Witch Body Refining Technique, Entry to the Fifth Layer Cultivation, at the expense of 1 million Origin Energy Source points, leaving 764,2405 points...] [Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results... at the expense of 120,000 Origin Energy Source points, leaving 644,2405 points...] As two prompt sounds fell, two mysterious streams of energy surged into Su Xing''s body. Su Xing''s aura underwent an earth-shattering change, as if a vision appeared behind him... Su Xing''s Physical Body trembled uncontrollably, undergoing a significant transformation in just a brief moment! Upon close contemplation, Su Xing could only feel that his own Strength, Qi and Blood, and even Physical Strength had increased by more than tenfold! The jump from the Fourth Layer to Perfection of the Grand Witch Body Refining Technique into the Fifth Layer represented a qualitative transformation! In this mighty endeavor, Strength seemed to be just the most inconspicuous change. After adjusting for quite a while, Su Xing got used to the growth in his physical strength, his face displaying a shock. "Just in terms of Body Refinement''s strength, I must be many times stronger than before my breakthrough!" "This terrifying force... shattering a star with a punch, shattering a minor world with mere hands, doesn''t seem impossible?" Chapter 1011 - 355: Bringing Out Reward Cultivation Level, Abnormal Talent Su Xing waved his hand, and the air visibly twisted. He could feel that the Origin Force on the surface of his body had undergone subtle changes after stepping into the fifth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision. It seemed to be more useful? Su Xing thought for a moment, attempted to cover his hands with Origin Force, and tore towards the space. The next second, the empty space in front of him was really torn open by Su Xing, creating a dark, lightless fissure. "The power of the physical body... can tear the Void, so that''s how it is..." Su Xing nodded slightly, considering this a high-level application of Origin Force. After Su Xing stepped into the fifth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, his physical body met the criteria, naturally mastering such arts and techniques. "Not bad, the physical body stepping through the Void, it''s not just a rumor... I, if I wish, can also do it!" Su Xing shook his head slightly. Although he could do it, Su Xing didn''t plan to act on it. Body Refinement Cultivators tearing through the Void, ripping open space, either to travel or to confront enemies. But either way, Su Xing''s own mastery over the Dao of Space meant he no longer needed to tear through the Void. Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Purely using the Dao of Space was more energy-saving and safer... Su Xing lifted his head, seemingly seeing the roaring ancestral witch phantom behind him, sensing an infinite aura coming his way. "Fortunately, I set up the Prohibition Formation in advance... Otherwise, the breakthrough of the Profound Immortal Body Refinement Cultivation Level in the Little Qingyun Realm would probably cause a sensation!" Su Xing sighed internally. And besides the improvement of his Body Refinement Cultivation Level, Su Xing''s enhancement of the Spirit Domain was also obvious. The Five Elements Dao and even other Great Daos, when used within the Domain, all had a great increase in power. Su Xing spent some time adapting to the newly mastered power. ... Quickly, a day passed, and the date arrived at March 25th. Su Xing left the mountains, preparing to return to Heavenly Demon City. "Outside Heavenly Demon City, there''s still one important item... that needs to be obtained first!" "That is, the Flesh Essence of the Foreign Race!" Su Xing''s plan was, within the next month, to return to Blue Star. And on Blue Star, the Great Xia Country probably still possessed many valuable resources of energy. Su Xing''s idea was to exchange elixirs for as much Origin Energy Source as possible. The most effortless way was naturally to refine Rebirth Pills! From Martial Emperor Level to God Level Profession Users, as long as Su Xing was willing to spend the time to refine, he could mass-produce them over the course of several decades. Shortly after, Su Xing, again changing his appearance to Jiang Hao''s, appeared in the middle of Heavenly Demon City. After going to the City Lord''s mansion, Su Xing easily acquired a batch of Foreign Race''s strongholds on the battlefield of the Heavenly Demon City. From ordinary Foreign Races below God Level to powerful Divine Power Foreign Race strongholds, Su Xing knew them all. Then, Su Xing spent three days clearing more than a dozen strongholds on the front line. He killed varying quantities from several thousands of Foreign Races below God Level, seven weaker Divine Power Foreign Races, two moderate Divine Power Foreign Races... and even killed a Foreign Race comparable to the Heavenly Immortal Realm! This operation was very resolute, and Su Xing told no one about it. With absolute strength, naturally, he easily killed these Foreign Races. And Su Xing''s gain was, tens of thousands of kilos of Flesh Essence of varying quality! These Flesh Essences, enough to supply Blue Star for the refining of Rebirth Pills for who knows how long... After ravaging the front lines, Su Xing secluded himself to refine elixirs, and in one full week, refined thousands of Rebirth Pills. Their quality ranged from Martial Emperor Level to enough for Earth Immortals to use. Su Xing left half of the elixirs in Heavenly Demon City, as benefits for recruiting the Tianyuan Army, while also taking out millions of Spiritual Liquid as military pay. After handling the affairs of Heavenly Demon City, Su Xing did not choose to stay there for long, but once again changed his identity and returned to Little Qingyun City. Through his partner Bai Xuan, Su Xing once again acquired a batch of extremely valuable Origin Energy Sources. After completing all of this, the date had reached April 7th of the New Era 2026. ... In the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing who had been busy for half a month made himself a pot of tea and rested for a moment, then his gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. "Tsks, unknowingly, I''ve accumulated two more simulation opportunities..." "It''s time to attempt a journey to the Endless Sea Domain...just not sure if this Origin Energy Source is enough to carry out my cultivation level?" Su Xing glanced at the remaining Origin Energy Source on the panel, 1,234,505 points. In half a month, Su Xing managed to get his hands on five or six hundred thousand Origin Energy Sources. Most of it was rushed over by his partner Bai Xuan. Another part came from selling some Flesh Essences. "Over a million Origin Energy Sources...enough for one simulation!" "This time the goal isn''t to raise my cultivation level, but to explore the Endless Sea Domain!" "If I could pass through the Endless Sea Domain smoothly and reach the Heavenly Secret Pavilion... Qing Yunzi''s threat could almost be ignored!" Thinking this, Su Xing silently said: "Begin simulation!" [The 132nd simulation starts, currently remaining Origin Energy Source is 1,234,505 points... Remaining simulation opportunities: 1.] [Simulation starts!] [Drawing the Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 Origin Energy Source, do you wish to draw?] "Yes!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent "Joy Plus One"... Next probability of drawing Golden Talent is 80%...] "Hm? Joy Plus One...what kind of Talent is this?" Su Xing was stunned for a moment, the name of this talent was somewhat strange, he had some difficulty imagining its specific effects. Therefore, his gaze moved to the introduction of this talent. [Joy Plus One]: A Golden Talent, before each simulation, you can designate a Talent below Golden Quality, allowing it to ascend and possess the effects of Golden Quality. Upon seeing this new talent, Su Xing was stunned for a moment, then his face revealed an ecstatic expression. "Holy shit! This Talent! Could it be what I think it is?" Allowing all Talents below Golden Quality to upgrade to Golden Quality... And before each simulation, Su Xing could choose deliberately! This meant that all the Talents Su Xing had drawn before could now be elevated to Golden Quality! The first thing Su Xing thought of was the Late Bloomer Talent! Late Bloomer Talent, after reaching the age of one hundred, the speed of all cultivation doubled! And this is merely a Purple Quality Talent! What would be the terror if advanced to Golden Quality? Talents like The Great Wisdom in Foolishness, and many others... "Goodness, this Joy Plus One Talent seems a bit overpowered!" Su Xing blinked his eyes. Chapter 1012 - 356: The Blessing of New Talents, Terrifying Cultivation Speed! After figuring out the function of this new Talent, Su Xing was already eager to start the simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Ding, please select the Talent to be enhanced by "Joy Plus One"...] Su Xing pondered for a while; the best Talent to be enhanced by this must be the Late Bloomer Talent, right? He recalled the description of Late Bloomer Talent in his mind: [Late Bloomer]: Purple Talent, automatically activates when you are over 100 years old, doubling the current base cultivation speed. (Note: The precondition is you live to be 100 years old.) As long as the precondition of being older than 100 years old is met, it can double the speed regardless of the type of cultivation. This was also the reason why Su Xing''s cultivation level and strength could guarantee rapid growth after stepping into the Immortal Realm. "I wonder what kind of effect the enhanced Late Bloomer Talent will have?" There was a flicker of anticipation in Su Xing''s heart as he silently thought: "I choose to enhance the Late Bloomer Talent..." [Ding, enhancing the Talent...] [Late Bloomer (Temporary Enhancement)]: Golden Talent, activates when you are over 100 years old, quadrupling the original cultivation speed. A straightforward and plain increase! After becoming a Golden Talent, Late Bloomer''s cultivation speed had doubled on top of the original foundation! This meant that Su Xing''s cultivation speed would be twice the original! Originally, Su Xing would need a thousand years to reach a certain realm, but now it would only take five hundred years And this cultivation is not limited to the enhancement of cultivation level! From Qi Refinement, Body Refinement Cultivation Level, to enlightening improvements, all can be enhanced! "Goodness, how terrifying will my cultivation speed be in this simulation?" Su Xing was already impatient to experience it. His gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are in simulation!] [You start making preparations to leave the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Although you plan to return to Blue Star, the arrangements on the Little Qingyun Realm cannot be neglected.] [Especially cooperation with Emperor Bai''s Wanjingol, those minerals are your important Origin Energy Sources.] [Before you left, you specifically instructed the Wanjingol and paid a deposit, indicating that the purchase of those minerals would continue as usual.] [Apart from that, it''s the establishment of the Tianyuan Army...] [In your plan, though the Tianyuan Army might not be able to help you in the short term, being alone in the Three Thousand Worlds, your abilities are limited, and establishing a force is extremely important for hunting Foreign Races or facing dangers.] Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Besides the Tianyuan Army and Wanjingol transaction, you also placed Puppet Cultivator Xiaomei in White Emperor City.] [And ordered her to oversee trade matters within White Emperor City for you and inquire about the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm.] [After making thorough preparations, you navigate the Star-Moon Shuttle towards The Void.] [With your current cultivation level and realm, it only took three days to smoothly return to Blue Star.] [The first challenge you encountered was the Prohibition set by Red Moon outside Blue Star, that invisible shield if forcefully breached, will certainly alert Red Moon.] [But fortunately, your Dao of Fate and Causality is already strong, and it took half a day to pass safely through the Prohibition without being discovered by Red Moon.] [After returning to Blue Star, the first person you went to see was Jin Congxue.] [Having not met for several months, Jin Congxue did not show any change, but her Cultivation Level was close to Golden Core Stage, this terrifying cultivation speed, even you are somewhat astounded.] [Although you were not on Blue Star during these months, the transactions of the Tarot Commerce Association still went smoothly.] [The puppets you placed in the copy sent the mined minerals to Tarot Commerce Association for refinement.] [In a few months, Tarot Commerce Association has accumulated quite a significant amount of various goods, as well as a large batch of Alien Metals.] [According to your estimate, these Alien Metals and goods are worth no less than two million Origin Energy Sources...] Back in the real world, Su Xing slightly nodded as he saw this. "It seems Jin Congxue is still reliable indeed!" "The Tarot Society running normally indeed saves me a lot of trouble!" "These Alien Metals, if exchanged for Origin Energy Sources, should be enough for one or two simulations..." Su Xing was quite satisfied with this; with the existence of the Tarot Commerce Association, Su Xing would have a stable energy source for the next few years. After pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued: "However, Origin Energy Sources from the Tarot Commerce Association are just part of it." Thinking of this, the corners of Su Xing''s mouth curved up slightly. Once he returned to Blue Star, his previous arrangements would come into play! The energy provided to Su Xing was not only from the Tarot Society... There was also the Puppet organization that Su Xing had founded, trading across the Seven Nations and Twelve Domains of Blue Star, which could bring even more Origin Energy Sources to Su Xing than the Tarot Society could! "And the Great Xia Military A few months have passed, Old Master Lu must have mobilized quite a bit of Alien Metal, right?" Su Xing was somewhat expectant in his heart. His return to Blue Star this time would bring an unprecedented amount of energy! Hundreds of millions or even tens of millions wouldn''t be a problem! "Sigh, but after advancing to Profound Immortal, a single realm requires a million Origin Energy Sources...I wonder how long the Alien Metals on Blue Star can supply?" Su Xing estimated that Blue Star''s resources, in the short term, supplying Su Xing enough to ascend to Golden Immortal would probably be the limit! This is not to say that the grand Blue Star, once Luo Tian Realm, has only so much resource... It''s just that resource extraction takes time, and after becoming a Golden Immortal, the figures for Su Xing''s cultivation improvement might be terrifying. At that time, even if Su Xing mobilizes many forces, the Origin Energy Sources gathered in a year or half might be considered significant if enough to enhance one or two realms. Chapter 1013 - 356: The Blessing of New Talents, Terrifying Cultivation Speed!_2 "However... the Descending Sect''s treasure vault is still waiting for me!" "After exterminating the Descending Sect on Blue Star... wouldn''t the profits allow me a rich haul?" Su Xing already had a plan in mind. Upon returning to Blue Star, after investigating the situation, he planned to eliminate the Descending Sect. "As for the connection between Damned Dragon and Blood Three... there shouldn''t be any problems within two or three years!" "By then, perhaps Blood Three will no longer be a threat to me..." Su Xing thought this way; he couldn''t possibly give up on the Descending Sect''s treasury, this chunk of fat nearly within his grasp. "After pulling off this job, I''ll return to the Little Qingyun Realm to lay low for a while... and also travel around the Three Thousand Worlds!" Su Xing had these plans in mind, although his current strength was not bad. But according to Su Xing''s thinking, without reaching the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, it''s best not to travel the Three Thousand Worlds... What if something goes wrong? "Just right, this simulation will help see if exterminating the Descending Sect involves any risks..." Su Xing muttered, his gaze directed toward the simulation panel. Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [After meeting with Jin Congxue and a few days later, you contacted Lu Yuanwu.] [As expected, Lu Yuanwu had prepared quite a bit of alien metal to trade.] [You also brought new elixirs, the Rebirth Pills!] [After finishing the trade with Lu Yuanwu, you contacted your puppet subordinates in the Twelve Domains and Seven States, obtaining a large batch of goods...] [A half-month later, you contacted Luo Shuying, telling her it was time to make a move!] [After ensuring Luo Shuying''s safety, you quickly executed Damned Dragon and a host of high-ranking members of the Descending Sect.] [Then you headed to the Descending Sect''s treasure vault and plundered it...] [The whole process went exceptionally smoothly.] [You knew that destroying the Descending Sect on Blue Star wasn''t difficult; the real danger lied in the potential future arrival of Blood Three, and the Descending Sect headquarters'' backup plans!] [According to previous simulations, Blood Three would come to Blue Star only after two or three years.] [Thus, you stayed on Blue Star for a year to see if any dangers would arise...] [In the simulation''s second year, you started using the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, divining your own fortune and misfortune.] [As expected, your divination revealed that continuing to stay on Blue Star would lead to a deathly calamity.] [But if you left Blue Star, your safety would greatly increase...] [As for Blood Three, unable to find the cultivator who killed Damned Dragon, could only give up.] [So, you piloted the Star-Moon Shuttle, returned to the Little Qingyun Realm, and began the Human Race''s relocation plan.] [In the third year, you found the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, informed it about the Red Moon...] [Just to be safe, two Taiyi Golden Immortals took charge and went to Blue Star.] [In the seventh year, you returned to the Little Qingyun Realm and relocated the whole Great Xia Country to Little Qingyun Realm.] [In the tenth year, you reached out to Immortal Ziling, ascended Three Immortals Peak, and traded with Qing Yunzi...] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this. This simulation of the future was actually just Su Xing wanting to see ahead of time if there were any risks. Destroying the Descending Sect and returning to the Little Qingyun Realm was what Su Xing was going to do. However, differently from this, in the real world, Su Xing did not plan to ask two Taiyi Golden Immortals to eliminate the Red Moon. "The Red Moon is a major concern... it''s also connected to the Luo Tian Legacy, and if my strength is sufficient, personally resolving it would ensure the problem is forever eliminated..." Su Xing decided to wait, after all, according to the real timeline, the resurrection of the Red Moon was still twenty years away. During this time, Su Xing was still confident in his ability to eliminate the Red Moon... Moreover, he even planned to minimize the losses on Blue Star! "However, from what I see so far... exterminating the Descending Sect poses no threat to me, the worst outcome would be just hiding in the Little Qingyun Realm... and that''s not unacceptable." Su Xing''s gaze then shifted back to the simulation panel. [After trading with Qing Yunzi, you took the Enlightenment Tea and went to the Nine Heavens Domain to search for Dao Essence Supreme Treasures.] [Thus, you spent more than thirty years, searching through all the secret realms you remembered in the Third and Fourth Layer...] [Starting the fortieth year, you explored only within the Fourth Layer.] [The expanse of the Fourth Layer''s territory and the numerous secret realms it contained were unfathomable; even with your exploration, not even one ten-thousandth was covered.] [Your goal this time was to find the Dao Essence Supreme Treasure related to the Path of Causality and Destiny.] [This search took more than thirty years.] [In the seventy-seventh year, the amount of Dao Essence treasures you had found over the years was sufficient for your cultivation.] [Thus, you found a rather secluded secret realm and went into seclusion there.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded at this. "Although it is to explore the Endless Sea Domain... the opportunity for immersive simulation naturally cannot be wasted." "After the immersive simulation is over, set off to the Endless Sea Domain!" Thinking this, Su Xing muttered: "Use immersive simulation, lasting for 63 years..." [Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, consuming 22,995 points of Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source 1,211,510 points...] As the simulation prompt sound ended, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the simulated world. ... When Su Xing came back to his senses, he found himself in a secret realm within the Fourth Realm of the Nine Heavens. "This simulation, I should continue comprehending the Path of Causality and Destiny..." Su Xing muttered to himself, and with a thought, more than a dozen Supreme Treasures containing Dao Essence appeared in front of him. These treasures all contain the Dao Essence of Causality and Destiny. If placed in the outside world, even Profound Immortals would eagerly seek them, as they are truly treasures worth a city. But for Su Xing, acquiring these Supreme Treasures of Dao Essence is not difficult. He possesses the Fortune Talent and is situated in the Nine Heavens Domain, where countless treasures exist; although they are not easily obtained for Su Xing, he can still find them every few years. "Then, let''s start contemplating!" Su Xing began to brew Enlightenment Tea, and after a moment, a cup of tea appeared in his hand. Then he skillfully operated the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method, and within his universal consciousness, countless stars circled in front of him. ... In the blink of an eye, fifty-four years passed. When Su Xing opened his eyes again, endless Dao Essences resonated behind him. "Phew... the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method is not far from the Great Achievement Realm!" "With this speed, the next simulation should allow me to smoothly step into the Great Achievement Realm..." "By then, my Path of Causality and Destiny will also smoothly step into the Fourth Realm!" Su Xing deeply perceived the insights in his heart. This short fifty-four years of cultivation probably equate to the insights of an ordinary cultivator over five to six thousand years... "Wow, the effect of the Great Talent Maturing Late Talent really doubled!" "Initially, I estimated that it would take three to four more simulations to step into the Fourth Realm... But now, it seems it won''t take that long!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. "Now, I still have the Wen Dao Pills and the Inevitability Insight Talent unused..." "Then it''s time to contemplate the Way of Speed!" Su Xing pondered for a moment and took out dozens of Supreme Treasures containing the Dao Essences of Speed. The Speed Grand Dao, simpler than the Path of Causality and Destiny, has Dao Essence treasures containing the Way of Speed considered common. Without hesitation, Su Xing directly started the Inevitability Insight, and a mysterious Dao Essence flashed around him, beginning to contemplate the Speed Grand Dao. In the blink of an eye, nine days passed. Originally, Inevitability Insight equates nine days to over eighteen hundred years of contemplation. But now, with the effect of Great Talent Maturing Late Talent doubling, it''s equivalent to over three thousand six hundred years of contemplation! At this point, Su Xing''s Way of Speed smoothly stepped into the Fourth Realm, achieving integration! ... In the real world, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, feeling myriad emotions. "Joy Plus One Talent, it is indeed powerful!" "This is just the amplification on the Great Talent Maturing Late Talent... I wonder what the amplifying effect on other talents would be?" Su Xing felt it was a pity that this talent could only apply to talents below the gold quality; if it worked on gold quality talents as well, that would be amazing! "The Way of Speed, stepping into the Fourth Realm! My Escape Speed has once again increased several times!" "If I go all out, using the Vertical Earth Golden Light, I could travel millions of miles in one day, maybe even more..." "Even the speed of operating the Star-Moon Shuttle is nearly doubled!" Su Xing estimated that with his current speed, he could return from Little Qingyun Realm to Blue Star in at most two days! "Great, this immersive simulation task has already been completed... There are still eight unused Wen Dao Pills that can be used to contemplate the Spirit Domain!" "Now, it is time to head to the Endless Sea Domain!" Su Xing''s eyes turned towards the simulation panel. [The one hundred and forty years, you have made rapid progress in comprehending the Dao of Causality and Destiny, the Way of Speed has successfully stepped into the Fourth Realm...] [After preparing, you left the Nine Heavens Domain, operating the Star-Moon Shuttle heading towards the Endless Sea Domain...] Chapter 1014 - 357: Journey to the Endless Sea Domain, Fraught with Peril! [The Star-Moon Shuttle transformed into a beam of golden light, departing from Qingyun Realm and hurrying towards the Endless Sea Domain.] [Along the way, while you rushed through your journey, you didn''t forget to traverse various Minor Thousand Worlds within Qingyun Realm, enhancing your own Cultivation Level.] [But your Escape Speed, boosted by the Dao of Speed and the Dao of Space, had grown immensely stronger, allowing the Star-Moon Shuttle to cross billions of miles each day.] [In just one year, you passed through more than thirty Void Nodes, each crossing saving you a significant amount of time.] [Throughout your journey, apart from traveling and cultivating, you also sought out many inheritances left by the Luo Tian Sect.] [At each inheritance site, there were nearly ten million droplets of Spiritual Liquid, a million High-grade Spirit Stones, countless Cultivation Techniques and Supernatural Powers, and materials for Magical Treasures...] [Although the treasures at each inheritance site were just icing on the cake for you, the accumulation from dozens of such sites provided sufficient resources for your untroubled cultivation journey.] [Thus, twenty years passed...] [In the one hundred sixtieth year, you successfully reached Qing Mountain Realm.] [Previously, it was here that you acquired the Star-Moon Shuttle; this place was an important site of the Luo Tian Legacy. Now revisiting this realm, your gains were substantial.] [After taking away the Luo Tian Legacy from Qing Mountain Realm, you continued on the Star-Moon Shuttle towards the direction of Southern Sea Realm.] [Thus, another ten years passed...] [In the one hundred seventieth year, after more than thirty years from departing Qingyun Realm, you finally arrived at the Southern Sea Realm.] [This realm, being close to the Endless Sea Domain and sprawling in size, is where you decided to pause for some time to adjust before heading into the Endless Sea Domain.] [Over these past thirty years, you discovered forty Luo Tian Sect inheritances.] [Accumulating about five hundred million droplets of High-grade Spiritual Liquid, nearly a billion High-grade Spirit Stones, and countless Divine Skills and Cultivation Techniques.] [Even the Elixirs, Spirit Grass, and Magical Treasures that you found filled several Storage Magical Artifacts...] [Such immense wealth is unattainable even for most Golden Immortals, let alone a Profound Immortal...] Back in the real world, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. "Departing from Qingyun Realm and reaching the Southern Sea Realm in just over thirty years... Such speed is truly astonishing!" Qingyun Realm is located in the central region of Qingyun Domain, while Southern Sea Realm is on the edge of Qingyun Domain, almost spanning half of Qingyun Domain. And the vastness of Qingyun Domain is so great that even a Daluo Golden Immortal might be unaware of its full scope. If one were to compare it to the Milky Way of a previous world, Qingyun Domain might be as large as tens of thousands of Milky Ways... If it were only up to Su Xing alone to travel, he might spend his whole life unable to traverse the entirety of Qingyun Domain. This is why, when all Cultivators travel through space, they must pass through the Void Nodes! Each Void Node allows one to cross endless territories. Su Xing slightly sentimental, remarked: "Void Nodes compress infinite territories of space into a single point, each crossing allowing travel of trillions of miles..." "If it were just me traveling, the distance between two Minor Thousand Worlds, spanning trillions of miles, might take hundreds of years..." "But with the help of Void Nodes, it takes just two or three days to reach..." Without the aid of Void Nodes, reaching other worlds across the vast Three Thousand Worlds would be nearly impossible. Su Xing had heard that powerful cultivators of the Three Thousand Worlds, who deeply understood the Dao of Space, could traverse hundreds of Void Nodes in a flick of a finger. Without needing the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they could travel from Qingyun Realm to Southern Sea Realm. Su Xing knew he was far from reaching that level. "Alas, my current Escape Speed is already terrifying..." "Compared to before, where it took a hundred or two hundred years to reach the Southern Sea Realm, it now takes just over thirty years... and that already takes into account the time spent collecting Luo Tian Legacy along the way..." Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If I traveled day and night without rest, I could probably save nearly half the time..." Pausing, Su Xing continued: "However, the Luo Tian Legacy along the way is essential to collect!" "This simulation prepares for traveling through the Endless Sea Domain, which will take a lot of time... even upon reaching the Heavenly Secrets Domain, cultivating will consume Spiritual Liquid..." "After ascending to True Immortal Realm, the amount of Spiritual Liquid needed for cultivation will become increasingly immense... Fortunately, with Luo Tian Legacy, otherwise the cultivation speed would be significantly slowed." Su Xing knew that his current cultivation speed, attributed to his great Talent, was just the foundation. More importantly, it was due to having sufficient cultivation resources. Otherwise, his tremendous rate of Cultivation Level advancement could not be sustained... Su Xing''s year of cultivation equated to over a hundred years for cultivators of the same realm, all based on having sufficient resources. "But finally, I have arrived at the Southern Sea Realm again, and now my Mana Cultivation should be just about sufficient." "And now that I have collected both the Star-Moon Shuttle and the secret navigation map of the Endless Sea Domain... Next is the voyage through the Endless Sea Domain!" "I hope to smoothly traverse the Endless Sea Domain and reach the Heavenly Secrets Domain..." Thinking this, Su Xing''s eyes filled with anticipation as he glanced at the Simulation Panel. [In the Southern Sea Realm, you purchased some necessary items for seafaring across the Endless Sea Domain.] [For example, a Space Compass that can sense direction, and special medicinal dust that can avoid Void Beasts.] [In the Southern Sea Realm, many Cultivators "fish for a living;" although they dare not venture deep into the Endless Sea Domain, staying on the edges allows them to catch some Void beasts.] [The vast Endless Sea Domain is like a real ocean, where those Void Beasts are the "fish" of the sea.] Chapter 1015 - 357: Journey to the Endless Sea Domain, Full of Crises!_2 [The Cultivators of Southern Sea Realm hunt Void Beasts on the margins to gather resources for cultivation.] [For this reason, the cultivators of Southern Sea Realm have developed a set of methods to ensure safety in the Endless Sea Domain.] [For instance, a Spatial Compass to ascertain direction, ensuring that the voyage stays on course and does not drift into the dangerous Void turbulence.] [And within the Void, the roaming Void Beasts pose great danger to ordinary cultivators, hence it is necessary to apply medicinal dust that repels Void Beasts on the Immortal Boat beforehand to avoid the peril.] [Apart from this, there are also elixirs that rapidly restore spiritual power and immortal power, which are essential in the Endless Sea Domain.] [With such resources, you have purchased hundreds of varieties, totaling tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones, ensuring your forthcoming voyage.] [The Heavenly Secrets Realm is unknown to you, and the Endless Sea Domain is even more dangerous and mysterious; you don''t know how long it will take to cross this sea domain.] S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Therefore, you must be fully prepared...] [In the one hundred and seventieth year, your cultivation level smoothly ascends to the third layer peak of True Immortal Realm.] [After much hesitation, you decide to wait until you break through to the fourth layer of the True Immortal Realm, when your mana will be much stronger, to attempt crossing the Endless Sea Domain.] [Thus, thirty years pass in a flash...] [In the two hundredth year, after decades of seclusion, and spending tens of millions of high-grade spiritual liquid and a million top-grade spiritual liquid, you finally made a breakthrough to the fourth layer of True Immortal Realm!] [After successfully advancing to the mid-stage True Immortal, your mana has become nearly fifty percent more substantial than before!] [The improvement in your cultivation level gives you three more points of confidence in passing through the Endless Sea Domain.] [This year, you''re formally preparing to set out from the Southern Sea Realm.] [You pilot the Star-Moon Shuttle, leaving the Southern Sea Realm and arriving at a transitional area between the Endless Sea Domain and the Southern Sea Realm.] [This space is where most of the cultivators preparing to ''sail out'' rest and adjust, and during your journey, you also encounter dozens of Immortal Boats.] [These Immortal Boats generally only undertake short-distance voyages and are used as ''fishing boats'' to hunt Void Beasts.] [You take a week to smoothly cross this intermediate area.] [After passing through an invisible prohibition barrier, you feel the rapid changes in the surrounding space!] [The originally sparse spiritual energy disappears in a moment, and a bizarre and terrifying aura starts infiltrating the space, making you feel extremely uneasy.] [This sensation, somewhat similar to Void travel, is yet far more dangerous.] [Especially since there''s not a trace of spiritual energy in the Endless Sea Domain, leaving Qi Cultivation Cultivators and Immortals unable to mobilize the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, reducing the efficacy of their divine arts to just a tenth of their power.] [However, relatively speaking, Body Refinement Cultivators can unleash their utmost combat potential without needing spiritual energy, providing them enormous advantages in the Void.] [This is also why you dare to cross the Endless Sea Domain while still a True Immortal.] [Within the Endless Sea Domain, you can see no worlds, not even shattered ones, which forces cultivators to continually move forward; either cross the Endless Sea Domain or turn back the same way.] [Inside the Endless Sea Domain, it''s extremely dark, devoid of any light source, making it impossible for the naked eye to discern the surroundings, relying solely on Divine Sense to sense the environment.] [Darkness is never the most terrifying thing in the Endless Sea Domain; if you see any light here, you need even more vigilance and caution.] [Because in the Endless Sea Domain, only the powerful "hunters" can emit light to attract their prey.] [These hunters, known as Void Beasts, require utmost caution even for you to handle.] [In the Endless Sea Domain, the most horrifying elements are the prolonged voyage and the unknown fear...] [When you first enter the Endless Sea Domain, the terrifying darkness accompanies you, initially not dangerous, with only two or three scattered Void Beasts posing no threat.] [What you need to be more wary of are the Void turbulences in the Endless Sea Domain, which are more dangerous than usual, unpredictable, and even you must carefully navigate them.] [Following the navigation charts obtained earlier, you smoothly sail through the Endless Sea Domain, and before you know it, ten years have flashed by.] [Initially, you only needed to handle Void turbulences, but as you delve deeper into the Endless Sea Domain, you start encountering more and more dreadful predatorsVoid Beasts!] [If encountering Void Beasts in the Void is extremely rare, in the Endless Sea Domain, Void Beasts often roam.] [However, here, the Void Beasts are no longer prey, but true hunters!] [They consciously seek out Immortal Boats, destroying them and devouring the cultivators and cargo onboard, having a full meal.] [Even though you navigate according to the chart and avoid most risks, you still encounter certain dangers.] [Initially, you only meet Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals strength Void Beasts, facing such level of hunters, the Star-Moon Shuttle leaves them far behind, completely worry-free.] [But as you continue deeper, the level of Void Beasts also increases.] [By the tenth year, you encounter three Void Beasts nearing the realm of Golden Immortal!] [These beasts, immense in size like planets, with terrifying deterrence, you could only flee thousands of miles even though it was you.] [In the two hundred and twentieth year, after nearly twenty years of voyage, you have traveled far from the ordinary Cultivation World, in the vast Endless Sea Domain, you are like a tiny boat sailing towards the distant shores of the Endless Sea Domain.] In the real world, Su Xing looks at the text before him, feeling deeply moved. Chapter 1016 - 357: Journey to the Endless Sea Domain, Full of Crises!_3 "The vast Three Thousand Worlds have few places that can be called dead zones... but the dangers of those dead zones are absolutely not to be underestimated!" "Indeed, there are rumors that some dead zones, even Daluo Golden Immortals wouldn''t dare to easily set foot in..." "Comparatively speaking, places like the Endless Sea Domain are much safer!" Pausing momentarily, Su Xing continued: "This is still with the existence of a navigation chart... This route, after countless years of exploration, still avoids over ninety percent of the dangers, otherwise even Golden Immortals would not dare to easily traverse the Endless Sea Domain." "Even so, the Endless Sea Domain is still very dangerous." "I wonder how many years it will take to cross the Endless Sea Domain..." Su Xing pondered for a moment. He had already been sailing for over twenty years, and even at a speed of several tens of millions of miles a day, he had already passed through vast territories, yet he still couldn''t see the boundaries of the Endless Sea Domain. "However, according to this progress, I should be approaching the first Void Node, right?" Anticipation flickered in Su Xing''s eyes. In the Endless Sea Domain, there are also Void Nodes, but they are sparse and extremely hidden. In the secret navigation chart Su Xing obtained, three Void Nodes were recorded. Crossing each Void Node could save Su Xing hundreds of years... "After crossing three Void Nodes, it won''t be far from the Heavenly Secrets Domain." "According to this speed, I should be able to reach the Heavenly Secrets Domain smoothly in a hundred years, right?" Su Xing thought so, his eyes turning to the Simulation Panel. [After over twenty years of void sailing, you have finally smoothly arrived at the first Void Node.] [In the dark Endless Sea Domain, this Void Node emits a faint glow.] [Feeling the position of the Void Node, you are delighted and prepared to cross this node, when suddenly a sharp pain strikes your forehead!] [A talent for sensing danger sends you a warning!] [Feeling this warning, your heart skips a beat, could the danger come from within the Void Node?] [But after careful divination, you realize, the danger does not originate from the Void Node, but from a Void Beast lurking around this node!] [This is a late-stage Profound Immortal Void Beast...] [Under normal circumstances, such an opponent poses no threat to you, but at this moment, in the Endless Sea Domain, your strength is greatly affected, and getting injured in combat could even impact your journey later...] Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You also thought about detouring to avoid this Void Beast, but clearly, it is specifically lurking here waiting for its prey.] [Thus you couldn''t avoid it by any means, facing this ambush predator Void Beast, you only have a fierce battle!] [Therefore, while still ten thousand miles away from this Void Beast, you stowed away the Star-Moon Shuttle to prevent it from being damaged during the fight.] [The moment your physical body left the Spirit Boat, you felt amiss, the circulation of mana in your body slowed down by more than several times, and with no Spiritual Energy in the air to replenish, your strength was reduced to one-tenth.] [All you could rely on was your Body Refinement Cultivation Level...] [But with the Void Beast blocking the way, you had no choice but to strike first.] [After leaving the Star-Moon Shuttle, you transformed into a streak of starlight, sprinting towards the Void Beast.] [In just a few moments, you arrived around the Void Beast.] [The battle was on the verge of erupting!] [...] [In the Endless Sea Domain, prolonged fighting is extremely detrimental to you!] [Here, in the Void Beast''s home field, and the eerie energy of the Void continues to erode your Cultivation Mana. If exposed for a long time, your cultivation level will rapidly decline...] [Therefore, you chose to fight quickly!] [Without any hesitation, you directly used the Earthly Manifestation, transforming into a several thousand feet tall giant of the Witch Clan, attacking the Void Beast head-on...] Chapter 1017 - 358: One Danger After Another, Su Xing Falls into a Coma! In the real world, Su Xing slightly nodded upon seeing this. In the Endless Sea Domain, engaging a Void Beast of similar strength is undoubtedly extremely dangerous. The Cultivators would have a significant reduction in their power, whereas the Void Beast could exert its full strength. Once a fierce battle occurred, with no Spiritual Energy replenishment available in the Endless Sea Domain, a Cultivator''s Mana would gradually deplete, leading to a disadvantageous situation that would be difficult to address. "So! We must win the fight quickly and resolve the issue with this Void Beast as soon as possible!" Su Xing muttered with narrowed eyes. His current Body Refinement Cultivation Level had already stepped into the fifth level of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, his combat power comparable to that of a Profound Immortal! And the strength of a Body Refinement Cultivator isn''t much impacted in the Void. Among Su Xing''s Divine Skills, Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, Myriad Star Attraction, and the Body-Protecting Sword Aura do not require Mana to activate, and thus he could fully utilize them. "This time, I must quickly slay the Void Beast with the swiftness of lightning, thereby eliminating hidden dangers..." "I''ve only traveled less than one-third of the Endless Sea Domain, and there may well be more dangers waiting ahead, hence it is crucial to conserve strength." Su Xing thought this to himself, his gaze shifting to the Simulation Panel. [Against this late-stage Profound Immortal Void Beast, you held nothing back, instantly unleashing the Divine Skill Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, transforming into a giant, with the way of strength and speed bolstering your body, followed by a punch blasted out!] [In this punch, you didn''t hold back at all; the power of the fifth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision fully erupted, capable of shattering stars and annihilating worlds!] [The Void Beast took your punch and its body, tens of miles long, directly caved in, with blood drifting and scattering in the Void, and the wound was shockingly visible.] [With just one hit, this late-stage Profound Immortal Void Beast was seriously injured by you!] [However, the life force of the Void Beast is still not to be underestimated.] [After being heavily injured by your strike, the Void Beast still had formidable combat power, roaring and lunging at you.] [Looking at the roaring and struggling Void Beast, for some reason, you had an ominous premonition in your heart.] [Therefore, you no longer hesitated, deciding to fight quickly and decisively.] [This battle lasted a whole month!] [Ultimately, relying on your tenacious vitality, leveraging the Fortune Talent of Unethical in Martial Conduct, you activated Myriad Star Attraction, drawing the fall of stars from the Endless Sea Domain, crushing the Void Beast within the Profound Immortal Realm to death.] [This battle lasted a full month, even though you were at an absolute advantage; if not for the sneak attack that injured the Void Beast initially, the fight might have dragged on even longer...] [But fortunately, you managed to slay it, took the valuable materials from the corpse of the Void Beast, and then returned to the interior of the Star-Moon Shuttle.] [Back in the Star-Moon Shuttle, you immediately began to adjust your breath and Cultivation Level.] [After being exposed to the Endless Sea Domain for a long time, the Mana in your body was somewhat spotty, and the rapid depletion of your physical strength left you far from your peak.] [Thus, you quickly took out some Elixirs, starting to recuperate and restore the Mana in your body.] [At the same time, you steered the Star-Moon Shuttle towards the Void Nodes.] [The Star-Moon Shuttle turned into a streak of light, passing through the Void Nodes, with the surrounding scenery rapidly changing...] [Moments later, the Star-Moon Shuttle emerged from another Void Node, now within the central area of the Endless Sea Domain...] [At this point, you''re truly deep within the Endless Sea Domain, constantly in danger.] [Without any hesitation, you quickly took out the map and headed deeper into the Endless Sea Domain...] In the real world, Su Xing''s expression became grave as he read this. "Indeed, we should now be entering the core area of the Endless Sea Domain, which is much more dangerous than before!" "The chaotic Void currents here, without the Star-Moon Shuttle, I fear it would be difficult to cross, right?" sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "And the Void Beasts here are probably all terrifyingly powerful... If encountered, fleeing would be the only option!" Su Xing was somewhat worried. If another skirmish occurred in the Endless Sea Domain, the remaining journey would not go smoothly, and it might even become impossible to traverse the Endless Sea Domain. "Ah, I just hope the voyage ahead can go smoothly..." Su Xing quietly prayed, his gaze returning to the Simulation Panel. [Following the map''s route, you quickly found a relatively safe area and continued towards your destination.] [In the blink of an eye, another four years passed...] [In the 225th year inside the Star-Moon Shuttle, you were slightly fatigued, piloting the Star-Moon Shuttle while regulating the somewhat chaotic Mana inside your body...] [After twenty-five years in the Endless Sea Domain, your Mana had begun to display signs of disruption, requiring daily absorption of Spiritual Liquid to maintain your Cultivation Level and strength to cope with danger.] [Although your Cultivation Realm hadn''t declined, the disarray in your Mana still reduced your strength by a notch.] [But fortunately, it seems as though your Fortune Talent had taken effect, and your voyage had been smooth, without encountering too many terrifying Void Beasts launching attacks against you.] [Only once did you spot a Void Beast the size of a star from afar, its aura so terrifying you barely dared breathe...] [Without a doubt, that was a Void Beast comparable to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, its combat power in the Endless Sea Domain far exceeding an ordinary Taiyi.] [But fortunately, you caught only a glimpse of it from afar before swiftly escaping with the Star-Moon Shuttle, and the Void Beast seemed to lose interest in you, slowly drifting away.] [After this close call, you became even more cautious, periodically expending Mana for Divination to calculate dangers.] Chapter 1018 - 358: Danger Upon Danger, Su Xing Falls into a Coma!_2 [Thus, more than twenty years have passed, and you''ve been safe all along...] [In the 250th year, you successfully arrived near the second Void Node.] [According to the records, passing through this Void Node will take you beyond the core region of the Endless Sea Domain, where it will be much safer.] [In this year, your strength has declined severely, and the chaotic Mana within your body has made it nearly impossible for you to cast Divine Arts.] [At this moment, you finally understand why the Endless Sea Domain is known as a place of no return...] [Because even without the interference of Void Beasts and spatial turbulences, in this "Mana Forbidden" place with no trace of Spiritual Energy, a Cultivator''s Cultivation Level gradually declines, making it difficult for an ordinary cultivator to survive.] [You estimate that even you would struggle to survive for a long time in the depths of the Endless Sea Domain; persisting for several decades has been extremely difficult.] [Therefore, for ordinary Profound Immortals, the depths of the Endless Sea Domain are truly a place of no return!] [Fortunately, you''ve crossed the second Void Node without incident, traversing boundless distances, getting ever closer to the Heavenly Secrets Domain.] [But you haven''t let your guard down at all; although you''ve left the most dangerous core area, the journey ahead is still fraught with extreme peril.] [Moreover, your strength has dwindled to a mere tenth of what it once was; if you encounter a Void Beast stronger than a Profound Immortal, the odds are more likely to be against you...] Back in the real world, Su Xing sighed with a tinge of relief. "The Endless Sea Domain is indeed perilous!" "With my current strength...forcing my way through the Endless Sea Domain is still premature!" "Being able to persist until now and hardly encountering any dangers can only be attributed to the display of my Fortune Talent..." "I just hope that from here on out, my Fortune Talent continues to work its charms, allowing me to safely reach the Heavenly Secrets Realm!" Su Xing muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the Simulation Panel. [You continue to steer the Star-Moon Shuttle in the direction of the Heavenly Secrets Realm.] [Seemingly due to a stroke of luck, the next period is calm and smooth, and you advance for over twenty years without any hitches.] [In the 273rd year, the Endless Sea Domain''s erosion of you intensifies, and your Cultivation Level begins to temporarily slide, although you still retain the Cultivation Level of a Mid-Stage True Immortal, your Mana has started to wane.] [The good news is, you are getting ever closer to the edge of the Endless Sea Domain...] [According to the navigation chart, in just a few more years, you should be able to reach the edge of the Heavenly Secrets Realm and the Endless Sea Domain.] [Hence, you grit your teeth and persist, continuing towards the direction of the Heavenly Secrets Domain.] [You have grown accustomed to the loneliness and darkness of the Endless Sea Domain; those wandering lights often signify danger.] [But the closer you get to the edge of the Endless Sea Domain, the weaker the Void Beasts become, and the safer you are.] Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You pilot the Star-Moon Shuttle to press on, and in the blink of an eye, several more years pass by...] [By the 280th year, after several years of travel, you have once again arrived at the edge of the Endless Sea Domain.] [Based on your estimation, you should be able to leave the Endless Sea Domain in no more than three days and reach the Heavenly Secrets Domain.] [Thus, you disembark from the Star-Moon Shuttle, ready to traverse The Void using your Physical Body to reach the Heavenly Secrets Domain.] [After all, the Star-Moon Shuttle is a sizeable target; if discovered by cultivators of this world, it would surely lead to exposure.] [While your Cultivation Level has dropped significantly, crossing The Void for two or three days isn''t difficult for you.] [You execute the "Soaring Earthly Light," flying towards the position of the Heavenly Secrets Domain...] [You had thought you would smoothly reach the Heavenly Secrets Domain, but unexpectedly, right at the last moment, an incident occurs...] [Fixing its gaze upon you is an Early-Stage Profound Immortal Void Beast!] [Such strength would usually be of little concern to you; it may not be killed with a snap of the fingers, but ultimately, it could be slain.] [But now, after more than a hundred years of travel through The Void, your strength has greatly diminished, and a Profound Immortal Realm Void Beast now poses a threat to you.] [Perhaps it''s due to your slight relaxation, being on the verge of leaving the Endless Sea Domain, or maybe it''s because this Void Beast possesses the ability to conceal itself and hide within the fabric of space, momentarily evading your perception.] [By the time you notice the approach of the Void Beast, it has already neared you, unleashing a terrifying spatial blade from its mouth towards you.] [You are hit by this sudden strike!] [With no defense prepared, the blade pierces through your Origin Force armor and Protective Gang Qi, heading straight for your skull.] [If struck with a single blow, your physical body would likely collapse on the spot.] [But fortunately, at the critical moment, a sharp pain in your glabella prompts you to instinctively evade, barely avoiding a fatal strike to a vital area.] [However, as a price, you have lost an arm...] [Your entire left arm was severed by the strike of the Void Beast, you grunt, enduring the pain as you look towards your attacker.] [At the same time, you desperately stimulate the blood and Life Force within your body, urging the regeneration of your left arm.] [But you''ve been severely weakened by the Endless Sea Domain, with your strength declining on all fronts, and the severed left arm cannot regrow anytime soon.] [The Void Beast before you does not intend to let you go, and a desperate battle is about to begin.] [However, the Mana in your body is already in a chaotic flux, and the spells and Divine Skills are nearly impossible to cast, forcing you to rely on your Body Refinement Cultivation Level to fight.] [The journey of over a hundred years has left your physical body utterly exhausted, and with the loss of an arm, your strength has greatly diminished, such that you find yourself suppressed by this Void Beast in a short time!] [You can only fend off the Void Beast while seizing opportunities to take Spiritual Medicine to heal your injuries and stabilize the tumultuous Mana inside.] [The battle lasted a full three months!] [In the final moments, your body is completely fatigued, and your Divine Soul damaged, you are in low spirits... but you still manage to unleash all of your Body-Protecting Sword Aura, finally counter-killing the Void Beast.] [After killing the Void Beast, your figure sways almost unsteadily, and just as you are about to recover from your injuries, a sudden bout of dizziness overcomes you.] [The chaotic Mana inside you explodes at this moment, and your weary Divine Soul can no longer hold on, your vision plunges into darkness...] In the real world, Su Xing blinked in surprise, then his eyes widened as he said: "Holy shit, could it be a failure at the last moment?" "This damned Void Beast... showing up at such a time!" Su Xing felt somewhat helpless, as this simulation could be considered the most tragic battle he had experienced... In previous battles, if his strength was simply overpowered, Su Xing didn''t have much to say, after all, his Realm was insufficient. But this time, it was due to Su Xing''s poor state, a rapid decline in strength. Even though he defeated the Void Beast in the end, he still fell into unconsciousness unavoidably... "Is this simulation going to end here?" Su Xing sighed. Falling into unconsciousness in the dangerous Endless Sea Domain, Su Xing really couldn''t think of any way for a miraculous recovery. Although Su Xing''s physical body was tough, it would not immediately deteriorate in The Void. But before long, once other Void Beasts discovered him, Su Xing would inevitably become their prey. "At the moment, I can only rely on my Fortune Talent... I wonder if it can bring another miracle?" Su Xing felt uneasy in his heart; if it ended here, his plans to traverse the Endless Sea Domain would be delayed, at least he couldn''t venture to try again in the short term... With this thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [Your vision falls into darkness, as consciousness begins to gradually subside, with your physical body drifting in the Void of the Endless Sea Domain.] [In the distance, several lights are slowly approaching, seemingly wandering Void Beasts...] [] [When you wake up again, you find yourself in a crude room.] [Your first reaction is that you are lucky to have survived, then you start observing the things around you...] Chapter 1019 - 359: Su Xing at Deaths Door, A Ray of Hope for Survival! [Your gaze finds that this room is very simple, almost akin to one found in an impoverished countryside.] [Inside the house, although simple, it is not crude; everything is tidy, resembling a place where some girl resides.] [You subconsciously want to use your Divine Sense to check your surroundings, but your head throbs with sharp pain, rendering you unable to use your Divine Sense at all!] [This unexpected panic makes you hurriedly check your own body''s condition.] [The Mana in your body is in disarray, your Cultivation Level has almost entirely dwindled away, unable to use any Divine Arts; the Mana remaining in your body is so feeble, it''s even inferior to a Qi Cultivation Cultivator...] [You struggle to rise, but feel intense pain throughout your body, with significant loss of Qi and blood, and your Origin and spirit both sustaining damage.] [The emptiness of your left arm informs you that your healing abilities have temporarily ceased...] [Even though the strength of the physical body from the fifth layer of Grand Witch Body Refining Decision remains, in your current state, it''s difficult to utilize even one ten-thousandth of your power.] [After struggling for a while, you decide to continue lying on the bed, waiting in silence...] In the real world, Su Xing looks on with a complex expression. First, he lets out a sigh of relief, but his brow immediately furrows. "The good news is, I''ve managed to survive and have arrived at a place with human habitation..." "But the bad news is, my entire strength is wrecked, and it''s uncertain how long it will take to recover; even more uncertain is, what place within the simulation am I right now?" Su Xing thought for a moment, and based on his guess, he should have arrived at his destination, the Heavenly Secrets Domain. But where exactly he was within the Heavenly Secrets Domain, Su Xing did not know. "It seems necessary to explore the Heavenly Secrets Domain in detail... I know very little about this place, but it''s the center of the entire Three Thousand Worlds, a must-visit!" Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "And with my current state, it probably will take decades to fully recover?" The state of Su Xing within the simulation was truly too dire! After a fierce battle, he lost his left arm, and unconsciousness in the Endless Sea Domain. His Cultivation Level was ruined, his physical body shattered, his Divine Soul damaged... If it had been an ordinary Cultivator, they would have died countless times over by now. But Su Xing, with his tenacious Life Force and the blessing of Vast Fortune, barely managed to survive. Even so, Su Xing was in an extremely unfavorable condition, one wrong move, and he might die. "Sigh, the losses from this forced crossing of the Endless Sea Domain were too great; let''s see if I can recover as soon as possible..." Su Xing pondered and muttered to himself: "Launch Immersive Simulation, lasting ten years..." Su Xing estimated that ten years should be enough for him to understand the Heavenly Secrets Domain. However, with his strength completely destroyed in the simulation, he must proceed with caution... [Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation, spending 3,650 Energy Points, remaining Origin Energy Source is 1,207,860 Points...] As the simulation notification sounded, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the simulated world. Su Xing only felt a change in his field of vision, and in the next second, he appeared in an unfamiliar room. The room was small, being bare to the point of emptiness was an understatement. The lack of even a trace of electrical appliances inside the room confirmed for Su Xing that he must be in an ancient cultivation world. The reason why Su Xing is sure that he arrived at a cultivation world is because of the mural on the opposite side of the bed. The artwork was quite rudimentary, appearing like some mass-produced defective painting. The content of the painting, however, was all too familiar to Su Xing... This is the Diagram of Wishful Visualization! "Tsks, I didn''t expect to see this diagram even within the Heavenly Secrets Realm..." Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows, seemingly pondering something. "The Supreme Diagram of Wishful Heavenly Venerate... Is that the name of this diagram?" Su Xing looked at the small characters at the bottom left corner of the painting, raising an eyebrow. Although he visualized it countless times, he was not aware of the name of this diagram. Yet this physical painting in front of him was devoid of any divine charm and Spiritual Power, merely an ordinary painting. Su Xing examined the room and realized that its owner could indeed be described as poor. Besides the painting, there was almost nothing else presentable. "Hmm?" At this moment, Su Xing seemed to smell some herbal scents. He looked carefully and saw a small wooden box on the table. His Alchemy Experience told him that there were a few herbs in the box, although only Low Rank ones meant to replenish Qi and blood, yet they were extremely beneficial to Su Xing. Su Xing subconsciously wanted to struggle to stand up and temporarily make use of these herbs. However, he only felt excruciating pain throughout his body, struggling for a long time before he could barely move from lying down to half-sitting on the bed, his body left without a trace of strength, and intense pain radiating from every inch of skin. Seeing that he was unable to move, Su Xing pursed his lips and tried to stimulate a thread of Mana to cast an object-controlling Art and Technique. But after trying for a long time, he was unable to release any Art and Technique at all. "Sigh, the condition of this body is worse than imagined... Can''t even release the most basic Art and Technique, huh?" Su Xing shook his head slightly, his current state best described as extremely poor, perhaps even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator could kill him. "Sigh, although the physical strength remains, the Qi and blood in the body are depleted... Yet the body involuntarily draws on the only strength left to heal the injuries..." "If I can''t absorb energy to replenish the Qi and blood, it probably won''t be long before this body will wither away and die!" "And with the current feebleness of my Divine Soul, once the physical body is destroyed, I''m likely to die outright!" Su Xing felt somewhat frustrated; ever since he began the path of cultivation, when had he ever been in such dire straits? "Damn it, with this state... It might be better just to commit suicide and start over!" Chapter 1020 - 359: Su Xing at Deaths Door, A Sliver of Hope for Survival!_2 Su Xing cursed, just considering it one more wasted simulation attempt! But then Su Xing had a thought: he had not easily passed through the Endless Sea Domain to reach the Heavenly Secrets Domain. Having experienced a life-and-death ordeal, if he hadn''t obtained any valuable information, then Su Xing would be at a huge loss! Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As Su Xing pondered, he suddenly felt his vision begin to change, involuntarily shifting perspective. "Eh? How come I can fly? Could it be my mana has recovered..." "Wait a minute, that pretty boy on the bed looks so familiar... Holy shit, it''s me!" Su Xing''s eyes widened; he was experiencing an out-of-body state! This state usually happens to dead people! While Su Xing wasn''t dead yet, his physical body was nearly burnt out, almost indistinguishable from death. If Su Xing''s Divine Soul didn''t quickly return to his Physical Body... the longer they''re apart, Su Xing feared he might really be done for... Thus, Su Xing''s Divine Soul desperately tried to make its way towards his own body, but found itself uncontrollably drifting further away. If this continued, Su Xing was really going to be in trouble. At the moment of Su Xing''s extreme anxiety, suddenly the door to the room was pushed open. Two figures rushed in, a boy and a girl. The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful appearance, yet she was dressed in tattered gray clothes and carried a basket of medicine on her back that was half her height, looking totally travel-worn. As for the boy, he was only about eight or nine years old, still with the remnants of baby fat on his face, carrying a small medicine basket on his back in imitation of the girl. "Hmm? Could it be these two who saved me?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow; he did not sense much evidence of cultivation on the two of them. The girl was slightly more advanced in her cultivation level, around the sixth or seventh layer of Qi Refinement. But the little boy was just a kid who had barely started the first layer of Qi Refinement. "With such low Cultivation Levels, how could they have saved me from deep within the Endless Sea Domain?" Su Xing was entertaining such a thought, suspecting that someone else might be his savior. However, the little boy''s words dispelled Su Xing''s musings. The little boy struggled to place the medicine basket on the ground, peered curiously over the bed, and asked: "Elder Sister, do you think this person really is the great Cultivator from the rumors?" Upon hearing the little boy''s words, the girl rubbed his head and, with a hopeful look in her eyes, affirmed as she looked at Su Xing: "Ah Di, Daddy once said that anyone who can come back alive from the Endless Sea Domain is an impressive person!" "As long as this man recovers... he''ll definitely help us!" Speaking, the girl''s gaze returned to Su Xing, silently praying in her heart. The little boy, not fully understanding, nodded and then asked: "Elder Sister, but this person has been lying on the bed for three whole years... and has never woken up; could he be dead?" Hearing the boy''s words, the girl choked up a bit, looking at Su Xing on the bed with uncertainty: "He shouldn''t be, right? Daddy said that if a person is dead, they would rot!" "But you see, even though this person has been lying here motionless the whole time, his body is still like this, so he''s probably not dead, right?" Su Xing''s Divine Soul floated in midair, silently watching the siblings'' conversation, yet he was somewhat shocked. "I''ve actually been unconscious for three whole years?" "So now... it should be about the 285th year in the simulation?" "No! These three years are only since they discovered me... It is unknown how long before that!" Su Xing frowned slightly; he finally understood why his body was in such a poor state. He must have fallen into a coma after that great battle and drifted in the Void of the Endless Sea Domain for a long time. His Physical Body and Divine Soul, eroded by the Endless Sea Domain, had deteriorated into their current condition. "Sigh, I must quickly return to my Physical Body; otherwise, it will be even harder to revive!" Su Xing desperately tried to enter his Physical Body, knowing that once his Divine Soul re-entered, he could speak and ask the siblings for herbs. Even if only Low Rank herbs, as long as there were enough, it could help Su Xing recover from his injuries quickly, at least regaining some fighting ability! But Su Xing was currently in a Divine Soul state, and the siblings'' Cultivation Levels were too low; they hadn''t developed Divine Sense and couldn''t sense Su Xing''s presence no matter what. "So... What should I do?" As Su Xing struggled with a headache, he overheard the siblings talking again. The girl took out a Red herb, along with a pestle for crushing herbs, and after grinding it earnestly, she applied it to Su Xing''s wounds. And the eight or nine-year-old boy imitated her, crushing the herbs and asking: "Elder Sister, aren''t these herbs supposed to be exchanged for Cultivation Elixirs at the shop..." "Elder Sister, you also have to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage before the big competition in over a year, right?" After the boy''s words, the girl was silent for a second, then forced a smile and said: "Don''t worry, Ah Di! Sister will definitely make it to the Foundation Establishment Stage and get admitted into the Baiyun Sect!" "These herbs are to ensure this man survives..." Upon hearing this, the boy nodded slightly, then felt a bit guilty: "Sister, it''s my fault... If it wasn''t for the fact that I took so many Elixirs yet still failed to make progress, you would have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage..." The girl did not respond, just silently rubbed the boy''s head and continued working on the herbs in her hands. Meanwhile, Su Xing watched anxiously on the side. "No wonder my Physical Body hasn''t collapsed after being unconscious for so many years... But this girl''s method of using herbs is too wasteful!" Chapter 1021 - 359: Su Xing at Deaths Door, A Sliver of Hope for Survival!_3 Su Xing''s Divine Soul twitched at the corner of his mouth. He could see that the herb in the girl''s hand was Lifebone Grass, used to heal injuries. But the problem was, this herb could only treat superficial wounds, it was almost useless for Su Xing''s injuries! Moreover, this herb was meant to be taken internally, not applied externally... If it wasn''t for Su Xing''s Physical Body being naturally perfect, even external application would absorb the medicinal properties, otherwise the herb would just be wasted! Right then, Su Xing''s gaze fixated tightly on a herb in the little boy''s hand. Soul Retrieval Grass! "Soul Retrieval Grass, haha... It''s actually Soul Retrieval Grass, heaven hasn''t forsaken me!" Su Xing was suddenly overjoyed, not knowing whether it was the effect of the Fortune Talent that led him to find the Soul Retrieval Grass! This herb wasn''t of a high grade, but its effect was to let the Cultivator''s Divine Soul return to the body! Which was exactly what Su Xing needed right now! "Quick, quick, feed me the Soul Retrieval Grass..." Su Xing urgently shouted, but the brother and sister couldn''t hear him at all. Seeing the little boy about to smear the Soul Retrieval Grass on Su Xing''s arm, Su Xing was almost driven mad. "Damn it, it''s already bad enough to apply Lifebone Grass externally... now Soul Retrieval Grass too? Who in the world taught them their knowledge of herbs?!" Su Xing was frustrated. Under the current situation, he could only rely on himself! If he missed this Soul Retrieval Grass, who knows how long he would have to wait! "Cough cough, I can only take a risk now..." With all his strength, Su Xing separated a wisp from the few remaining strands of his Divine Soul power, and directed it towards his own Physical Body. This was the technique of Soul Control Over Objects! As long as Su Xing''s Divine Soul was strong enough, he could control physical objects with his Divine Soul! Although Su Xing''s Divine Soul was greatly damaged, its grade was still sufficient; slightly controlling an object for a moment was not difficult. The power of the Divine Soul drifted towards Su Xing''s face, finally landing on his mouth. His previously closed mouth slowly opened.

The little boy about to apply the herb on Su Xing saw his mouth suddenly open and was stunned. First, he rubbed his eyes, then he looked at his sister, uncertainly saying: "Sister, this person''s mouth suddenly opened, didn''t it? It was closed just now!" Hearing the little boy''s words, the girl took a look and found that Su Xing''s mouth really had opened, she was immediately shocked. "Could it be, this person is really not dead yet? Is he waking up?" "But... what does him opening his mouth mean?" The girl thought hard, not understanding why Su Xing''s mouth would suddenly open. Still, the little boy looked at the herb in his hand, somewhat uncertainly saying: "Sister, if this person opened his mouth, does he want to eat our herb?" Hearing this, Su Xing''s eyes lit up, he quickly nodded and silently shouted: "Yes yes yes, that''s it! Feed the herb into my mouth!" Su Xing suddenly felt relieved. However, unexpectedly, the girl stood up, tapped the little boy on the head, and scolded: "How can you just casually eat medicine?" "We don''t even know the effects of these herbs... What if it kills him?" "Just applying it on the body can help him recover from his injuries faster... but we don''t know what happens if it''s eaten!" Saying this, the girl confidently said: "This is knowledge of herbs, understand?" "Little brother, when dad taught me about herbs, you were still little, it''s normal to know less... Just follow sister closely and learn well in the future!" "Even if your cultivation Talent is not good, as long as you understand some herb knowledge, you can still survive!" After hearing the girl''s words, the little boy thought deeply for a while, and finally gave a thumbs up, praising: "Sister, you''re amazing!" Meanwhile, Su Xing, with his Divine Soul separated from his body, was simply going mad: "Damn, who in the world taught this girl her herb knowledge?! I''ll spank them to death!" "Now, there''s only one way..." Chapter 1022 - 360: Su Xing Accepts a Disciple, Potential Crisis! Su Xing took a deep breath, then used the last of his Divine Soul power to perform the Soul Control Technique. A strand of the Divine Soul flew towards the soul-retrieving herb in the little boy''s hand, and the previously crushed soul-retrieving herb emitted a strange white light. A faint voice also reached the little boy''s ear: "This soul-retrieving herb should be taken orally, not applied externally..." Su Xing''s Divine Soul was already extremely weak, and after performing this technique, it was on the verge of collapse. If he did not return to his body in time, he would probably die and vanish. "Such an obvious hint, if he still doesn''t understand... then there''s really no way!" Su Xing thought weakly. Meanwhile, the little boy, startled by the strange white light on the soul-retrieving herb in his hand, heard the transmission in his ear, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to his sister, confused: "Sister, did you hear some strange voice?" "This man seems to have told me... this herb is called the soul-retrieving herb, and it should be swallowed directly..." Upon hearing the little boy''s words, the girl smiled awkwardly, but she also knew the importance of the moment and quickly said: "What are you waiting for... don''t delay in feeding it into his mouth!" Saying that, the two fed the soul-retrieving herb into Su Xing''s mouth. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As the soul-retrieving herb was swallowed, Su Xing''s Divine Soul breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt an inexplicable attractive force from his Physical Body. The siblings watched nervously as Su Xing, still in a deep slumber. "Sister... you think this man isn''t dead, right? I thought I heard a ghost speaking..." No sooner had these words been spoken than Su Xing, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and said in a weak voice: "If you two don''t give me the medicine, I''m really going to die..." Su Xing said, glancing at the girl with great puzzlement: "Where did you learn this utterly nonsensical herbal knowledge?" "Getting the properties of the herb wrong is one thing... but how can you not even distinguish between external use and oral intake!" Upon hearing Su Xing''s scolding, the girl''s face turned even redder, and she stammered: "I... I wasn''t taught... My father owned a pharmacy before he passed away. I just occasionally looked around, just knew where to collect herbs, didn''t understand refining them..." After hearing the girl''s response, Su Xing was somewhat speechless, but still said: "Then get all the herbs over here for me to see..." Following his instructions, the girl hurriedly fetched the medicinal basket and the herbs from the wooden box and placed them before Su Xing. Su Xing didn''t even look up, using his nose to sniff and then said: "The first and third herbs on your left hand side are useful for me... Bring them to me." Following his directions, the girl took the two herbs and carefully fed them to Su Xing. Su Xing opened his mouth and after a brief shiver of his throat, the two herbs quickly went down his stomach, turning into two warm currents. "Phew..." Su Xing''s Physical Body furiously digested the healing power of the two herbs, causing steam to appear on his body. These two herbs could stabilize the Physical Body, ensuring that Su Xing''s injuries would not worsen. Though they were Low Rank herbs, they still had some effect. Given Su Xing''s current condition, who knew how long recovery would take. But consuming more herbs would at least maintain stability in Su Xing''s injuries. After taking the two herbs, Su Xing felt the creation of faint Vital Energy inside his body; though weak, it was at least a good sign. His body was severely damaged energetically, but at least the foundation was still there, and continued use of the herbs would eventually lead to recovery. Su Xing then instructed: "Bring over two more Bone Growth Herbs and Blood Activating Flowers... those two red herbs and flowers on your right side." Instructing thus, the girl didn''t ask why, and just did as told. A few herbs in, the effects on Su Xing''s Physical Body recovery were still extremely minimal. Su Xing sighed inwardly, but said to the girl: "In the coming half month, give me as many of these herbs as you have..." "I am a bit tired now, going to sleep first." Saying this, Su Xing closed his eyes to conserve energy, soon breathing evenly. Though it was sleeping, Su Xing was in fact regulating the Qi within his body and attending to his injuries, despite the weak efficacy of the herbs. Su Xing needed to recover as quickly as possible. Seeing Su Xing''s even breath and closed eyes, the girl assumed Su Xing was asleep and left the room with the little boy. Leaving the room, the boy muttered discontentedly: "Sister! We went through so much trouble to save him... only for him to act like this upon waking up, why is that fair?" The girl shook her head and simply said: "Little brother, powerful cultivators often have eccentric temperaments... as long as we are sincere, we will definitely gain an opportunity..." The boy nodded somewhat understandingly after hearing her. The two carried the medicinal basket and continued to collect herbs in the great mountains. ... A month quickly passed... Today, Su Xing sat up in bed, breathing in the weak Spiritual Energy from the air, attempting to recover his Mana. But after several attempts, he failed. Su Xing opened his eyes, sighing: "It seems my Mana can''t be restored in a short time... but at least the Physical Body has recovered somewhat; no need to worry about life-threatening issues for the moment." Over the past month, these siblings had collected quite a few herbs for Su Xing. With the help of these herbs, Su Xing''s recovery speed had noticeably increased. At the same time, Su Xing taught the two siblings some knowledge on identifying herbs and their properties. Today, after once again failing to cultivate Spiritual Energy, Su Xing temporarily stopped. "What a pity, unable to restore Mana... the Spirit Field Cave cannot be accessed either!" Chapter 1023 - 360: Su Xing Accepts a Disciple, Potential Crisis!_2 Su Xing felt somewhat helpless; after several years of unconsciousness, all his storage magical artifacts were lost, and he was temporarily unable to open his personal Spirit Field Cave. Perhaps after Su Xing recovered some of his cultivation level, he might be able to utilize the treasures inside the Spirit Field Cave, and only then would his self-defense capability greatly improve. Su Xing glanced outside the room and said: "You two, don''t stand outside. Come on in..." As soon as his words fell, the brother and sister outside the window cautiously entered the room. Having spent a month together, Su Xing had also learned their names. The sister was called Bai Xiaoxiao, and the brother was called Bai Yutang. Their parents, originally cultivators, had opened a medicine shop in Baiyun City. They were Inner Sect Disciples of the Baiyun Sect, but were harmed by the sect''s elders. The siblings managed to narrowly escape disaster but lost all their family wealth and could only get by by gathering herbs. Bai Xiaoxiao''s greatest wish was to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, join the Baiyun Sect as an Outer Sect Disciple, and then find an opportunity to avenge her parents. This was also the favor the siblings sought from Su Xing. "Elder, here are today''s herbs..." Bai Xiaoxiao handed over a small wooden box and placed it beside the bed; Su Xing picked out a few and began to take them. After absorbing the medicinal properties, Su Xing felt much better and then continued: "You two have worked hard this past month..." "I ask you, are you willing to take me as your master?" "I am aware of your situation... avenging your parents must be done by yourselves, but I can impart cultivation teachings to you, and your cultivation speed will certainly not be slow." Hearing Su Xing''s words, Bai Xiaoxiao''s eyes reddened, and she knelt down immediately. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The siblings had served diligently for more than a month for this very day. They hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master above, please receive your disciples'' bow!" Seeing this, Su Xing nodded slightly. During the past month, he had in fact been testing the siblings'' character; Su Xing did not value cultivation aptitude but cared about their nature! And the siblings'' sincere service had clearly passed this test. Although they saved Su Xing with the purpose of seeking revenge, saving Su Xing was the fact. Thus, there was nothing wrong with Su Xing taking on two disciples. "Hmm, now that you have taken me as your master, from now on... you must respect me as you would your own parents." "And I will do my best to teach you the way of cultivation..." Over the past month, Su Xing had figured out the cultivation talents of the two. Bai Xiaoxiao had a wood and fire dual Spiritual Root, well-suited for learning the Path of Alchemy from Su Xing. And the brother Bai Yutang was extraordinary, with a singular fire Spiritual Root... he could not enhance his cultivation level through elixirs, for there was only one reason! He had an Inborn Unique Meridian! Someone with an Inborn Unique Meridian could not use elixirs to increase their cultivation level, but their cultivation speed was extremely fast! Currently, Bai Yutang was only at the first level of Qi Refinement because he lacked a good cultivation technique, making his cultivation speed naturally slow. So, Su Xing said: "Next, I will teach you both the way of cultivation." "Bai Xiaoxiao, I see that you are interested in the way of alchemy... thus, I will pass on the Path of Alchemy to you." "You can study while refining elixirs for me to help heal my injuries as soon as possible." "As for Bai Yutang, I will teach you the Path of Artifact Refining!" After a pause, Su Xing continued: "But the most important thing for you right now is to quickly improve your cultivation levels!" "Next, I will impart to you a Fire System cultivation technique as your main practice..." Saying this, Su Xing recited the Heavenly Grade Fire System Technique, the Myriad Flames Technique, which he had learned before. This technique was perfectly suited for the siblings to practice. It was not that Su Xing was reluctant to impart a better technique... But his current damaged cultivation level prevented him from giving them a direct transmission of knowledge; he could only recite the practice mantra for the siblings to learn by themselves. As Su Xing recited, Bai Xiaoxiao tried to write down the mantra. However, Su Xing recited a bit too quickly, so she was desperately sweating without being able to write it all down. On the contrary, Bai Yutang had good talent and after listening a couple of times, he was able to remember most of it. Su Xing spent half the day making sure they memorized the technique, and then he told Bai Xiaoxiao: "The technique is now memorized, next you must diligently cultivate..." "Every morning for two hours, I will teach you to refine elixirs." With that said, Su Xing sent the siblings away and continued to recover from his injuries. ... In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. This was the fourth month of Su Xing''s Immersive Simulation; his physical body had recovered a lot, and he could even get out of bed and move around, but the disordered mana inside his body still prevented him from using spiritual energy. That day, Su Xing was instructing Bai Xiaoxiao in the woodshed on how to refine elixirs. After three months of study, Bai Xiaoxiao had formally become an apprentice alchemist, capable of refining first-tier elixirs. Now, under Su Xing''s guidance, Bai Xiaoxiao began to learn a first-tier elixir called the "Blood Replenishing Pill." This elixir would help Su Xing recover from his internal injuries as quickly as possible. As Bai Xiaoxiao refined the elixir, Su Xing gave instructions: "Be more steady in controlling the flame... the fire you are using is a mundane fire, therefore you need to be extra cautious in elixir refinement." "And your pill formation steps should be as slow as possible, or else all will be lost." While instructing, Su Xing took two elixir pills. These elixirs were all refined by Bai Xiaoxiao. Naturally, the elixirs restored physical injuries far faster than herbs. Although Su Xing was currently unable to use spiritual energy to refine elixirs himself, his vision and experience were still there; teaching alchemy, he was undoubtedly a top-notch master. As time ticked away by the second, this batch of elixirs also reached the crucial Pill Formation stage. Chapter 1024 - 360: Su Xing Takes on a Disciple, Potential Crisis! _3 Bai Xiaoxiao was channeling the weak Spiritual Energy, intently staring at the Alchemy Furnace with a few beads of sweat on her forehead, striving to maintain the flames below the furnace. Ultimately, a batch of red Elixirs was successfully produced. Pill Formation resulted in seven, but three were failures... Seeing this, Su Xing nodded in approval: "Not bad, finally, there is some semblance!" "Being able to refine this Blood Replenishing Pill, you can refine ordinary first-tier Elixirs... Even if you work as an apprentice in some pharmacies in the future, you won''t starve to death." Su Xing took the seven Blood Replenishing Pills and after examining them for a moment, he praised. Bai Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was so excited that she jumped up and rushed to give Su Xing a hug. "Master, I did it! I finally succeeded!" Bai Xiaoxiao''s eyes were red with excitement; Su Xing had seen all her efforts and progress over these past few months. Strictly speaking, Bai Xiaoxiao''s talent in Alchemy was not poor, but it was not top-notch either; it''s only because of Su Xing''s guidance that she had made such progress. Successfully refining the Blood Replenishing Pill, Bai Xiaoxiao could begin to try refining second-tier Elixirs. And Su Xing''s goal was to let Bai Xiaoxiao refine a third-tier Qi Replenishing Pill. This pill could stimulate Spiritual Energy, perhaps enabling Su Xing to recover some Mana. Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao so excited, Su Xing appropriately threw cold water. "You''ve only refined the most basic Blood Replenishing Pill, you''re still far from good enough!" "Improvement in Cultivation Level cannot be neglected... your little brother has already reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement, and you''re still loitering at the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm; how is this acceptable?" Chastised by Su Xing, Bai Xiaoxiao''s face fell, and she looked pitifully at Su Xing. But Su Xing knew well that a strict teacher produces brilliant students, hence he said: "If you don''t reach the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement within a month, don''t think about learning second-tier Elixirs!" Bai Xiaoxiao immediately nodded, expressing her determination to work hard. ... In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. That day, in the dilapidated courtyard, Su Xing looked at the sky, not sure what he was thinking, and muttered: "Time flies, it''s been a year and a half already in this Immersive Simulation!" sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This immersion is really different from the previous ones..." Su Xing smacked his lips; previously his immersive simulations were only for Cultivation. Yet, this was his first time taking an apprentice in a simulation; although Su Xing knew all of this was illusory, the immersive feeling made it seem indistinguishable from reality. After a year and a half of effort, Su Xing''s physical condition had recovered a lot, allowing him to move like a normal person. Even with his Physical Body strength being formidable, no Cultivator below the Immortal Realm could trouble Su Xing. However, the Mana within Su Xing''s body was still chaotic. After a year and a half of adjustments, although much improved from before, he still couldn''t channel immortal power. Su Xing turned his head to look, and his face darkened instantly; he was only lost in thought for a moment and Bai Xiaoxiao''s Alchemy almost went awry again. "The key to refining Qi Replenishing Pills is stability!" "Your Mana Cultivation is already insufficient, you can''t rush! Every step must be error-free!" Su Xing instructed. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at the failed pills inside the Pill Furnace and sheepishly stuck out her tongue. After a year and a half of cultivation, Bai Xiaoxiao had smoothly become a Cultivator at the Third Layer of Foundation Establishment. She had already mastered most of the second-tier Elixirs. And Su Xing was preparing to teach her the refinement of third-tier Elixirs... "Got it, Master! I''ve already made a lot of progress!" "In just over a year, I''m already at the Foundation Establishment Stage!" "Now, the herb shops in Bai Yu City are all scrambling to hire me as an Alchemist!" Bai Xiaoxiao was quite content and her gaze at Su Xing was filled with endless gratitude. Su Xing, however, slightly shook his head and admonished: "The path of cultivation is a struggle against heaven, earth, and humans... not advancing is regressing!" "Remember not to be complacent!" After lecturing her, Su Xing glanced at the sky, slightly puzzled: "Why hasn''t Bai Yutang (Bai Yutang) come back yet?" "Normally at this time, he should be rushing back for dinner..." Hearing Su Xing''s question, Bai Xiaoxiao also felt it was strange and said: "An hour ago, I sent him to the pharmacy to sell Elixirs, hoping to exchange them for Spirit Stones for his cultivation..." "We''ve been doing this for a year; nothing should go wrong, right?" Su Xing fell silent, but a bad feeling arose in his heart. Although unable to employ Great Dao Power for Divination, the sixth sense of a Cultivator was still present. Then Su Xing shook his head and said: "Don''t worry yet, go check near the pharmacy... and be careful." Bai Xiaoxiao nodded after hearing this and hurriedly went towards the city''s herb store. Chapter 1025 - 361: Bai Family Siblings in Crisis, Su Xing Takes Action! On the outskirts of Baiyun City, within an old residence. Su Xing sat cross-legged under an ancient tree, breathing rhythmically. At this moment, the sky was dotted with stars. Su Xing circulated the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, drawing strands of astral strength from the horizon into his body. Su Xing rested with eyes closed, feeling the astral strength reinforcing his physical body, and his internal injuries seemed to have recovered a bit more. "Sigh... The power of the stars is truly mysterious!" "Although I don''t have top-notch elixirs and immortal elixirs to aid my recovery, with this astral strength, my physical body will gradually return to its peak condition." Such were Su Xing''s reflections. His current Body Refinement Cultivation Level had already returned to around the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. If he were to spare no expense and use his trump card, he could exert the strength of an Immortal... "Now that the mana within my body is in disarray and my Qi Refining Cultivation has been destroyed, I can only rely on this Body Refinement Cultivation Level!" "But fortunately, I also have some self-protection strength." Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. He felt somewhat fortunate that he practiced both Body Cultivation and Qi Refinement, with a solid foundation, otherwise his current situation would only be even more miserable. "Unknowingly, it has already been two years since I came to this Baiyun Realm..." "Once my cultivation level is fully recovered, I''ll be able to set out for the Heavenly Secrets Realm!" Su Xing rubbed his Mei point. Over these two years, although he could not leave home and had to spend his days recuperating indoors, he learned about the situation in the Baiyun Realm through the Bai Family Siblings, Bai Xiaoxiao, and Bai Yutang. The Baiyun Realm is merely a small world and does not even count as a Minor Thousand Worlds! The largest sect in this realm is the Baiyun Sect. Legend has it that an Immortal once emerged from the Baiyun Sect... Thus, Su Xing estimated that the top fighters in this realm were probably at the Human Immortal or Earth Immortal Realm. And the cultivators of the Baiyun Realm, like Su Xing once did, only knew of the Baiyun Sect and were oblivious to the Three Thousand Worlds, to the Heavenly Secrets Realm, and to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion! "Ordinary cultivators of this realm may have limited information... but the Baiyun Sect, as a sect with an Immortal''s legacy, must certainly be aware of the Three Thousand Worlds and know of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!" "If my direction is not mistaken, the Baiyun Realm should belong to the Heavenly Secrets Domain, an inconspicuous small world within it." "Here, Nascent Souls and Divinity Transformation already form the ancestors of the minor sects, Mahayana Transcendance can dominate an entire realm." Pausing for a moment, Su Xing slightly shook his head, his gaze turned towards the horizon and he sighed: "But no matter the height of cultivation, where there are cultivators, there will be rivers and lakes!" "After recuperating for a whole two years... It''s time to go out for a walk and clear my mind!" Su Xing stood up, leaving this residence for the first time in two years. Bai Xiaoxiao had left before nightfall, and now two hours had passed, the sky was dark, the moon hung high, but she had not returned. The city center of Baiyun City was merely tens of miles away from this residence, which, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would mean countless to-and-fro trips already. Since the siblings had not returned by now, something must have happened! "After all, it''s still about wealth leakage..." Su Xing slightly shook his head, stepping forward, and with a single step he covered dozens of feet C though without mana, solely relying on his physical body, Su Xing''s speed was considerable. S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Bai Family Siblings were not people without foundation in White Emperor City. Ever since their ancestral property and medicine shop were swallowed up by the Baiyun Sect Elder, the two have been living by collecting herbs. Although they did not earn much, they could occasionally save a spirit stone or two, to buy some elixirs to aid their cultivation. But since Su Xing arrived, all the herbs they collected were turned into elixirs to help heal Su Xing''s wounds. As a result, the siblings'' cultivation was inevitably lagging behind. Therefore, Su Xing also allowed Bai Xiaoxiao to sell some elixirs occasionally to earn spirit stones and ensure their cultivation. This was because Su Xing''s Spirit Field Cave was not usable, otherwise why would there be a need for all this hassle? The wealth within the Spirit Field Cave was probably enough to purchase the entire Baiyun Realm! But for now, they could only sell some low-rank elixirs to ensure cultivation. The number of elixirs sold each time was not many, merely three to five, being only first or second-rank elixirs, priced at just a few dozen low-grade spirit stones. Su Xing originally thought that such a small number wouldn''t attract attention. However, things did not go as he wished... This time, the siblings must have encountered trouble. Those who targeted them might be enemies from the past. Or perhaps the elixir shop got greedy seeing wealth and, knowing that they had no foundation, decided to intercept them. During these thoughts, Su Xing had already reached his destination, stopping in front of a medicine shop and murmuring: "There is one last possibility, they know that behind the siblings is a knowledgeable elder... thus wanting to draw out the person behind them..." "Which would be me..." Su Xing walked slowly towards the medicine shop. As soon as he entered, a servant''s voice came: "Oh, this fellow daoist... It''s late, our shop is already closed! "I don''t know what elixirs you want to buy or sell, but please come back again tomorrow after opening..." Su Xing looked at the talking servant and simply said: "I don''t know if you''ve seen a pair of siblings, the sister about eighteen or nineteen years old, and the brother around eleven or twelve, they came here to sell elixirs." After hearing this, the servant''s face changed slightly, and he subconsciously asked: "Who are you to them..." As soon as these words came out, the servant realized he had said something wrong. This question exactly meant that the siblings had been there. Seeing the servant''s reaction, Su Xing already had a measure in his heart, hence he said: "I am their elder... Seeing that it''s so late and they haven''t returned, I''ve come to call them back for dinner." After hearing this, the servant fell silent, sized up Su Xing, and with some uncertainty said: Chapter 1026 - 361: Bai Family Siblings in Crisis, Su Xing Takes Action! - Part 2 "The siblings indeed came here... but they left after selling their elixirs." "If a child from your house is missing, please report it to the government office... Our shop is small, we cannot accommodate you." Su Xing just stood there after hearing this, giving the speaker a faint glance. The young servant''s words were implausible; the siblings came one after another, with a full two hours between their visits. It couldn''t possibly be that other forces inside the city were targeting them; it could only have been this very herb shop in front of him. Seeing that Su Xing did not move, the young servant stepped forward, trying to push him out. But Su Xing was immovable like a mountain, and the young servant felt as though he had slammed into a great mountain. Su Xing did not make any movements, yet the young servant had already fallen on his buttocks. "Ouch, assaulting people, this bad guest has started hitting people after failing to trade!" Sitting on the ground from the stumble, the young servant reacted quickly and started calling loudly. In a few breaths, several armed guards emerged from the back of the shop, surrounding Su Xing. Su Xing slightly frowned upon seeing this, saying, "I came here just to pick someone up... I don''t wish to engage in conflict!" Seeing Su Xing stepping back, the young servant unreasonably pushed further and yelled: "Heh, just now you wouldn''t leave... But now it''s too late to leave, capture this cripple!" The guards, looking at Su Xing who had lost an arm, sneered and drew their weapons, swinging at him. But how could such worldly iron injure Su Xing in the slightest? These guards, merely beginners on the path of cultivation, wouldn''t be able to harm Su Xing even if he stood there letting them try. After the flashes of swords, all their weapons were broken, and Su Xing stood there undisturbed, not a hair out of place. With just a gaze, these guards then fell to the ground, unable to rise. Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the young servant hurriedly scrambled up and went to the back yard to call for more people. Su Xing did not stop him, but simply waited silently in place. Shortly after, the young servant returned, accompanied by a middle-aged man in brocade. With just one glance, Su Xing saw through this man''s cultivation level a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator! This man also eyed Su Xing, unable to see through him. His demeanor slightly relaxed, he asked, "May I know your business here?" Su Xing looked at him and remarked, "I am here for the siblings. And who might you be?" The man''s expression stiffened upon hearing this, responding, "People should be sought at the government office, this is an elixir shop..." "Leave swiftly, and I can pretend nothing here happened." Su Xing glanced at the young servant, and in his evasive gaze, Su Xing already knew the answer. Therefore, Su Xing stated, "You can take the elixirs, they''re just a few low-rank ones... Even if I gave you ten more batches, what of it?" "Just ensure the siblings are safe and sound!" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, the middle-aged man fell silent. Seeing this, Su Xing instantaneously knew that they weren''t after Bai Xiaoxiao and her brother for the elixirs. It had to be their enemies then... Thinking this, Su Xing''s expression also grew stern as he said, "Leave a line when doing things, the grudges of the elders should not harm the younger generation..." Before Su Xing''s words finished, the middle-aged man''s expression also turned stern, rebuking, "I don''t know what you''re talking about, there are no people you''re looking for here, leave quickly!" Seeing his firm insistence, Su Xing feared they truly had captured the siblings. Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If Su Xing didn''t take action, the fate of the siblings would be unknown... Thus, Su Xing stepped forward, firmly saying, "What if I, Su Xing, do not retreat?" The middle-aged man scoffed upon hearing this, "Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, since it''s like this, don''t blame me for being inhospitable!" With that, the middle-aged man used a technique, sending a blazing flame towards Su Xing. But Su Xing simply stepped forward, and the flame split apart, unable to touch him. The body of an Immortal, impervious to both water and fire! Let alone a fire-based art, even ordinary divine skills could not scratch Su Xing in the slightest! A strike missing its target, the middle-aged man''s expression changed slightly, seemingly aware that Su Xing was no easy adversary. However, before he could unleash another art and technique, Su Xing stepped forward and grabbed the middle-aged man by the arm. Without waiting for the man to resist, Su Xing applied force with his palm, directly crushing the man''s arm into pieces. Agonizing pain swept through the man''s entire body, and facing Su Xing''s terrifyingly powerful strength, akin to a mountainous abyss, he was utterly unable to retaliate. In the brief span of a few breaths, Su Xing successively crushed both of his arms and the bones in his hands. Following closely, the middle-aged man began to beg for mercy: "They... they are all in the backyard having just finished their tea, and are asleep!" "Esteemed Immortal, please...please release this humble one!" The middle-aged man was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, almost losing his senses, suspecting that he might literally die of pain if this continued! After hearing this, Su Xing did not release him; instead, he carried him like carrying a little chick, heading towards the backyard. In no time, Su Xing found the brother and sister in a woodshed, both tied up. Both were unconscious, but fortunately, their lives were not in danger. Having confirmed the safety of the siblings, Su Xing then looked at the middle-aged man he was holding and questioned: "Who ordered you to target these siblings?" After hearing Su Xing''s question, the man hesitated slightly, but at this moment his life was still in Su Xing''s hands, so he quickly said: "It was Elder Lu from Baiyun Sect..." "He had notified me beforehand, saying that I must capture these two to eliminate future troubles..." Upon hearing this, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows and asked: "If it was to eliminate future troubles, why are they still alive?" The man hastily replied: "It was... this humble one thought... these two have value, intending to have them produce more elixirs, and then..." Having heard this, Su Xing closed his eyes; he had figured out what happened. It must be Elder Lu from Baiyun Sect, likely an enemy of Bai Xiaoxiao''s father. He had the owner of the medicinal material shop kill the Bai family siblings. However, the owner of the medicinal material shop saw the value in Bai Xiaoxiao''s alchemy skills, wanting to exploit them dry before taking action... That was why there was still a chance left for the siblings'' lives. After figuring out the ins and outs of the situation, Su Xing carelessly threw the owner to the ground. If it weren''t for this owner''s greed, had it been someone else, the Bai family siblings might have truly been dead already. Su Xing picked up the unconscious siblings, preparing to leave the place. Yet, the middle-aged man, terrified out of his wits, knelt on the ground pleading continuously: "Merciful Immortal, please spare my life, oh please spare my life!" "This humble one... does not wish to kill the innocent..." After hearing this, Su Xing was silent for a moment, then said: "Your life isn''t valuable; I won''t kill you. If that Elder Lu comes looking again, tell him that I am protecting these siblings!" "Tell him to stop plotting; this grievance is over. If he can''t see reason, I''ll simply kill him!" Su Xing, taking the siblings with him, prepared to leave the store. Just as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask: "By the way... where is your elixir storage at the medicinal material shop?" ... The next morning, Su Xing was healing his injuries in the Bai Family courtyard. Bai Xiaoxiao and Bai Yutang had already awakened, but because of the mistake this time, both were punished by Su Xing to a year of reclusive cultivation without leaving the house. Under the ancient tree, Su Xing slowly took out a package, which was filled entirely with elixirs. These elixirs had naturally come from that medicinal material shop. "Tsk tsk... this ordeal turned out to be a blessing in disguise, although the siblings suffered some hardships, the elixirs were certainly no deception." "With these elixirs, my injury recovery speed will be much faster!" Within the package, there were quite a few elixirs below the fifth rank. Among them was the Qi-Inducing Elixir that Su Xing needed. Although of a low rank, it was much better than those refined by Bai Xiaoxiao, sufficient to speed up Su Xing''s recovery. With this thought, Su Xing began consuming the elixirs for treatment. Pill after pill was roughly swallowed by Su Xing; they rapidly transformed into pure life force, nourishing Su Xing''s Qi and blood within his body and greatly accelerating the recovery of his injuries. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed... Chapter 1027 - 362: The Wealth-Bringing Child Arrives, Su Xing Needs Only to Make a Slight Effort! On this day, Su Xing sat cross-legged under an ancient tree, harnessing the power of the stars from the sky to accelerate the healing of his injuries. Drawing the power of the stars into his body and after revolving it through several major celestial cycles, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a satisfied expression on his face. "Tsk tsk, it seems that this misfortune really turned into a blessing!" "This injury has completely destroyed my cultivation level, which, on the contrary, has given me new insights into the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision..." "Especially the use of this stellar power... Stellar power aids in strengthening the physical body, cultivating it to great achievement; the body becomes as powerful as the stars, and can also use stellar power to increase strength and heal injuries..." Su Xing smacked his lips; previously, his exploration of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision was too shallow. Most of the time, it was purely the use of physical strength and Origin Force. The relationship between the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision and the stars is not as simple as merely drawing from the vaillant stars... Instead, it was this destruction of his cultivation that rejuvenated Su Xing, giving him the mindset to start cultivating from a lower realm again. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Some critical details that had previously been overlooked were now being addressed. Over the past month, Su Xing had used up the Wound Healing Pills he had snatched, and his injuries had recovered somewhat, with much of his physical cultivation also restored. "However, it is still not enough..." Looking at his empty left arm, Su Xing shook his head: "Unfortunately, the vitality in my body is still insufficient... I don''t know when this left arm will grow back." Over this past month, Su Xing had been recovering day and night. Meanwhile, the Bai Family Siblings had obediently stayed at home to cultivate, both making some progress in their cultivation levels. "It''s just a pity that my mana hasn''t recovered yet... I can''t use the power of my Divine Soul, and now I can only rely on my physical body." Su Xing felt somewhat helpless; this slight recovery of physical strength was still less than a ten-thousandth of his strength at his peak. Just as Su Xing was preparing to continue healing, he suddenly looked up toward a certain direction in the sky. Su Xing could sense a strong aura rapidly approaching. Trouble is coming! "Judging by this aura, it should be someone with cultivation at the peak of the Body Integration Realm... Who could it be?" A name flashed through Su Xing''s mind, so he simply sat under the big tree, quietly waiting. In just a short time, an old man wearing a Daoist robe, with a pointed nose and monkey-like cheeks, landed in the courtyard. This pointed-nose old man looked sinister, directly ignoring Su Xing who was sitting under the tree, and shouted into the house: "Where are those two bastards of the Bai family? Get out here now!" "The debts Bai Tian owed back in the day need to be repaid by you!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows; this old man came uninvited and spewed nonsense, making Su Xing quite uncomfortable. Meanwhile, the Bai Family Siblings, who were cultivating inside the house, heard the commotion and quickly opened the door to peek out and assess the situation. Bai Yutang was fine, seeming not to recognize the pointed-nose old man. But Bai Xiaoxiao clearly knew him; upon seeing his face, she turned pale with fear. When the pointed-nose old man saw the Bai Family Siblings, his triangular eyes lifted, and he flashed in front of the siblings, reaching out to grab them. The pointed-nose old man was fast, but Su Xing was faster! He hadn''t yet touched the siblings when Su Xing intercepted him, tightly grabbing his arm. Blocked by Su Xing, the pointed-nose old man immediately said with a displeased expression: "So you are the backbone behind these two bastards? Heh, I advise you to mind your own business... It is only right for children to pay off their parents'' debts!" "His father owed debts back in the day, and since they can''t pay it back now, they should serve me, work off the debt!" Seeing this scene, the younger Bai Yutang was so frightened he dared not move. On the other hand, Bai Xiaoxiao mustered her courage at this moment and retorted: "You''re talking nonsense! When did my father and mother ever owe you money?" "Besides... even if they did owe, all our family''s properties have been taken by you, and should have cleared the debt long ago!" "It was you who killed my father in the first place!" When enemies meet, feelings run high; Bai Xiaoxiao''s eyes reddened intensely, staring fixedly at the pointed-nose old man. On the other side, Su Xing stood in front of the siblings, silent. He had come to know a bit about the Bai family''s affairs over the past two years. Bai Xiaoxiao''s father, Bai Tian, had also been quite successful within the Baiyun Sect, his cultivation reaching the Body Integration Realm. He was a strong contender to become an Elder of the sect. At that time, Elder Lu and Bai Tian had a fairly good personal relationship. Once, when the Baiyun Sect discovered a Secret Realm, Bai Tian and his wife wanted to explore it. However, the Secret Realm was somewhat dangerous, so the couple borrowed some resources and magical treasures from Elder Lu to enhance their cultivation. However, Bai Tian and his wife ultimately died in that Secret Realm. Not only were their bodies never recovered, but most of their worldly possessions, including their Storage Magical Artifacts, were lost as well. After that exploration of the Secret Realm, Elder Lu emerged as the biggest winner. Not only did he become an Elder of the sect overnight, but sect disciples even found magical artifacts used by Bai Tian in Elder Lu''s possession! Although there was no direct evidence, various signs indicated that the death of Bai Tian and his wife was intimately linked with Elder Lu! After causing the deaths of Bai Tian and his wife, Elder Lu was not satisfied. He not only replaced the wealth of Bai Tian and his wife within the sect but even took possession of the elixir shop Bai Tian had established in the secular world. Bai Xiaoxiao was only six or seven years old at the time, and Bai Yutang was even just a baby. After becoming homeless, they barely survived with the help of a former neighbor, living in this residence and supporting themselves by gathering herbs. Chapter 1029 - 363: Su Xings Severed Arm Regenerated, Traces of the Descending Sect Revealed! Su Xing even felt that the sinister-faced Elder Lu was somewhat adorable at this moment. Coming from thousands of miles away to give his all, only to crawl back like a dog. Perhaps in the future, he might even bring another group of people to deliver resources right to Su Xing''s doorstep. Such a good thing, Su Xing wished it could happen every day! Su Xing looked at the various resources piled up in the courtyard and quickly found some bottles and jars. "Hmm? Low Grade Spiritual Liquid and Mid Grade Spirit Liquid?" Su Xing''s eyes lit up, and he said to the Bai Family siblings: "These Spiritual Liquids are excellent items, with them, your cultivation speed will greatly increase!" Su Xing''s Mana had not yet recovered and he temporarily couldn''t use the Spiritual Liquid. However, these Spiritual Liquids could greatly enhance the cultivation speed of the siblings. After giving some Spiritual Liquids to the Bai Family siblings and teaching them how to cultivate with it, Su Xing began to happily sort through the medicines and treasures. In the courtyard, Su Xing was collecting the resources with great interest. Materials and resources that Su Xing once disregarded were now very useful to him. "Good, a Sixth Rank Elixir called Zhen Hui San! It can help me recover from my injuries!" "Tsk tsk, there''s even Bu Yuan Hua! Excellent stuff..." "Eh, Fu Ling Grass? Nice, it can be used to refine Seventh Rank healing medicines!" Su Xing looked at the Spirit Medicines and treasures filling the courtyard, happy as a child. These items would greatly accelerate the recovery of Su Xing''s injuries! Once Su Xing''s Cultivation Level was restored, as for Elder Lu''s revenge... it''d be nothing! After all, Su Xing hadn''t taken Elder Lu''s revenge seriously from the start, nor did he consider the saying about letting a tiger go back to the mountain! To draw a comparison: If a lion punches a rabbit, and the terrified rabbit hurriedly runs away, feeling indignant after escaping, it then calls on a stronger and fatter rabbit for help. So, would the lion be happy, or thrilled? One rabbit might not be enough to fill the lion, but a few more could certainly fill the gaps between its teeth! ... And so, for the next while, Su Xing peacefully continued his cultivation in the courtyard. The Elixirs and herbs brought by Elder Lu were mostly used by Su Xing to recover from his injuries. Elixirs that were not needed were also sold off for resources to recover from injuries. This greatly increased the speed of Su Xing''s injury recovery, and his vitality finally became somewhat robust. Although his Qi Refining Cultivation was not yet restored and he was unable to use Spells or Divine Skills, Su Xing''s Physical Body strength had recovered quite a bit, and some of his Origin Force was also restored. Although his combat power was still not one percent of what it was in his prime, Su Xing at least had some ability to protect himself. In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Su Xing, who was daily sorting through his chaotic mana, shook his head and sighed lightly: "The recovery of this Mana will probably need some more days; this injury has been unprecedentedly severe..." Looking at his empty left arm, Su Xing then said: "But this lost left arm, it''s time to get it back..." "Although the resources brought by Elder Lu are not enough, there is a place that certainly has sufficient resources..." Su Xing narrowed his eyes. In this Baiyun Realm, there was a mountain range, stretching for millions of miles, somewhat similar to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains of the Little Qingyun Realm. Within the Baiyun Mountain Range, there also lived a number of fierce beasts, whose Flesh Essence was plentiful, which would be the perfect tonic for Su Xing to recover from his injuries! Previously Su Xing was not strong enough, naturally, he could not risk hunting there. But now that Su Xing''s strength had recovered somewhat, it was time to hunt Demonic Beasts to accelerate the healing of his injuries. With that in mind, Su Xing soon called over the Bai Family siblings. "In the coming time, your master needs to make a long trip, I''ll be back in a month if it''s quick, or two to three months if it''s slow..." "During this period, you two stay at home and must not travel far... When your master returns, I will check your cultivation progress!" After hearing Su Xing''s words, the siblings nodded in agreement. But Bai Xiaoxiao was still somewhat worried and asked: "Master, if during the time you''re away... and Elder Lu comes to cause trouble again, what should we do?" Su Xing replied after hearing this: "Don''t worry, Elder Lu won''t come looking for trouble anytime soon..." Su Xing had planted a force of Origin Force in Elder Lu''s Dantian, ruining his Cultivation Level, and recovery would take at least half a year. Even with the help of the strong within Baiyun Sect, it would be unthinkable to recover in less than three to five months. During this time, Su Xing could just take a trip to the Baiyun Mountain Range, and return before Elder Lu''s retaliation, taking the opportunity to harvest a wave of "leeks." But just to be on the safe side, Su Xing still handed over a Jade Slip, saying: "Keep this Sound Transmission Jade Slip; if there is any trouble, you can contact me with it..." Bai Xiaoxiao took the Jade Slip and nodded understandingly. Then Su Xing made some preparations and left Baiyun City under the cover of night. The Baiyun City was only a hundred thousand miles from the Baiyun Mountain Range; if it were Su Xing of the past, he would have arrived in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But now, Su Xing could only rely on his Physical Body to travel, and it took him two whole days to reach the periphery of the Baiyun Mountain Range. "So now, let''s go hunt Demonic Beasts in this mountain range!" Su Xing''s Divine Sense had not recovered and therefore couldn''t sense the location of Demonic Beasts through it. However, he purchased a magical potion called "Demon-Attracting Liquid" in Baiyun City. Much like perfume, just spraying it on oneself would attract the surrounding Demonic Beasts. And Su Xing would be able to hunt the Demonic Beasts effortlessly. As for the method to recover from injuries, that was too easy... That would be eating! By consuming a large amount of Demonic Beasts meat, coupled with Su Xing''s Swallow Heaven Talent, and digesting it quickly, he could greatly enhance the vitality inside his body and let his left arm grow back. Chapter 1030 - 363: Su Xings Severed Arm is Reattached, Traces of the Descending Sect Appear!_2 Su Xing acted immediately upon his decision, took out a bottle of medicine, poured it over himself, and then hurried towards the depths of Baiyun Mountain Range. ... In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. In the outskirts of Baiyun City, inside a dilapidated courtyard. Bai Xiaoxiao was circulating her cultivation technique, and after a large circuit of Spiritual Energy travelled within her body, she took a deep breath; afterwards, her internal aura began to climb. Moments later, with joy on her face, Bai Xiaoxiao muttered to herself: "Finally, I''ve reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage!" Bai Xiaoxiao recalled her journey over the past two years, which felt like a dream. Two years ago, she was just a minor Qi Refinement stage cultivator, but with her talent, she had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment in a mere two years, and she was only a step away from the Golden Core Stage! Such cultivation speed was already comparable to some geniuses with a True Spiritual Root! Apart from her powerful cultivation technique, this, of course, was inseparable from Su Xing''s guidance. "Congratulations, big sister, for successfully reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment!" Bai Yutang popped out from a corner at some point, grinning and swinging around in front of Bai Xiaoxiao. In just over two years, Bai Yutang had grown from a little brat to a handsome and spirited young man. Seeing Bai Yutang, Bai Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and retorted: "Alright, little brother! Weren''t you almost at the Golden Core Stage just a month ago?" "If it wasn''t for Master saying to wait for his return before helping you condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core, you might''ve already broken through!" Although Bai Xiaoxiao spoke so, she harbored no jealousy in her heart. She simply envied Bai Yutang''s talent; with his Inborn Unique Meridian and a single-type fire Spiritual Root, his cultivation speed truly matched that of those with a Heavenly Spirit Root! And the advantages of the Inborn Unique Meridian grew more significant over time! Aside from being unable to use Elixirs to enhance cultivation... This Inborn Unique Meridian was simply an excellent constitution. Bai Yutang chuckled, but then said: "I''m the one who''s envious of big sister! Master hasn''t taught me Artifact Refining yet... big sister can almost concoct third-grade Elixirs, right?" Bai Xiaoxiao also showed some pride upon hearing this. Not yet twenty years old, she had already become a third-grade Alchemist, which was considered a prodigy throughout the whole White Emperor City. Upon mentioning Su Xing, Bai Xiaoxiao''s face flushed with a hint of red, and she said: "Master has been gone for three months now; judging by the time, he should be returning soon, right?" Just as Bai Xiaoxiao''s words fell, a figure landed in the courtyard, carefully scrutinized the Bai Family siblings, and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems during the time I was gone, your cultivations have not fallen behind..." Seeing the long-yearned Su Xing return, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately became excited, pouncing into his arms and petulantly said: "Master, you''ve finally returned, your disciple missed you so much!" Bai Yutang too was excited and said: "I''ll go buy some Demonic Beast meat outside the city, let''s have a drink tonight!" Su Xing gave him a look and said: "At your age, you''re already drinking? In the early stages of cultivation... drinking is not good for the body!" Saying this, Su Xing tossed over a jug of liquor and said: "This is Monkey Wine from the Baiyun Mountain Range, not an Elixir, but it aids in cultivation... perfect for you!" Bai Yutang''s face immediately brightened upon hearing this; although he was young, he had somewhere picked up drinking habits, and despite not drinking often, he was always clamoring to drink. Seeing the Monkey Wine, he couldn''t help himself, took the jug, and gulped down a big mouthful. The Monkey Wine tasted like grape juice upon entry, but it was not low in strength, and in a short while, Bai Yutang toppled over and fell asleep on the ground. Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaoxiao''s pretty face turned redder, still hugging Su Xing unwilling to let go. Su Xing seeing this, said: "Look at you, such a big girl still clinging to your Master; how proper is that? Do you not want to find a Dao Companion in the future?" Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head repeatedly and said: "I don''t want to find a Dao Companion, I just want to stay by Master''s side and serve him for my entire life!" Bai Xiaoxiao''s face turned red as she spoke these words, yet she couldn''t stop stealing glances at Su Xing. Over the years, she had secretly harbored feelings for Su Xing. After all, Su Xing was highly skilled in cultivation, knowledgeable, and even helped her drive away Elder Lu, avenging her grievances. Most importantly, Su Xing was quite a looker... Thinking this, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn''t help but sneak another peek at Su Xing. However, it was this glance that made Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly notice something, and she exclaimed looking at Su Xing''s sleeve: "Ah, Master! Your arm..." Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this, extending his left hand to ruffle Bai Xiaoxiao''s head. After three months of effort, his lost left arm had finally regrown... Su Xing glanced at the sleeping Bai Yutang and then said to Bai Xiaoxiao: "You two go back inside to rest... wait for your teacher to deal with some matters." After hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao paused momentarily, but then seemed to have thought of something and nodded: "Okay, Master..." A day earlier, Bai Xiaoxiao had sensed several strangers scrutinizing their courtyard, and remembering the words Su Xing had said before, she used a Sound Transmission Jade Slip. And after Su Xing received the message, he hurried back. After the siblings went back into their rooms, Su Xing stepped out of the courtyard and looked towards a direction in the city, saying: "Since you have come, why not show yourself... why hide?" Su Xing''s words had just fallen, when several figures slowly appeared from afar. There were four people, each with a cultivation strength above the Integration Phase, including even a cultivator at the Mahayana Realm. Su Xing glanced at Elder Lu standing in the back among the people and said jokingly: "Elder Lu, you''ve recovered quite quickly! I wonder how long it took you to crawl back to Baiyun Sect?" Elder Lu, with his naturally grim face, heard the words and became even more resentful; he opened his mouth but still didn''t speak. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 1031 - 363: Su Xing’s Severed Arm Restored, Traces of the Descending Sect Appear!_3 Finally, he sneered, then looked at the leader and said: "Heh, today with the Deputy Sect Master of Baiyun Sect present, the vengeance of the past will be repaid twofold!" Deputy Sect Master? Su Xing''s face revealed an intrigued expression as he looked towards the leading man. This man appeared dignified, around forty years old, and was also a Cultivator at the late Mahayana stage. He took a step forward, saluted Su Xing with his hands and said: "Sir, the grievance of Elder Lu is an internal affair of Baiyun Sect, perhaps it''s inconvenient for you to intervene?" sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Please leave swiftly to avoid mortal peril..." After hearing this, Su Xing chuckled and responded: "The Bai Family Siblings are my disciples, how can this be considered an external affair?" "Instead, it''s your Baiyun Sect that suppresses its own Inner Sect Disciples, forcibly takes what''s not yours, and distorts right and wrong, could it be that you belong to an evil cult?" Su Xing was sarcastically speaking, but the Deputy Sect Master''s eyes looked somewhat unnatural after hearing these words. Su Xing caught this detail and was immediately puzzled. "Hmm? Could Baiyun Sect really be colluding with Evil Cultivators?" Su Xing tested further, but the Deputy Sect Master was tight-lipped, and they soon showed signs of confrontation. The Deputy Sect Master was the first to make a move, drawing a flying saucer-like Magical Treasure and said over his shoulder: "Fellow comrades, assist me, I will deal with this man!" With that, he cast an Art and Technique and the flying saucer, like a huge mountain, pressed towards Su Xing. The other Body Integration Realm Elders also cast their spells, forming an ambush from the sidelines. Su Xing yawned out of boredom, not even looking at the flying saucer. In a flash, he appeared behind the Deputy Sect Master. Then, with a slight exertion of his arms, he dislocated the limbs of the Deputy Sect Master and tossed him onto the road like throwing a dog. "This this is impossible! What exactly is your Cultivation Level?" The Deputy Sect Master''s face showed fright, relying on his late Mahayana stage cultivation and supported by many elders, he should have been able to suppress Su Xing. However, he never anticipated that Su Xing''s strength was not on the same level as theirs! When he turned his head and saw a group of elders lying on the ground, in just a blink of an eye, four of them had their limbs broken by Su Xing, all in the same agonizing position. "This can''t be! It''s impossible! Even those at the Tribulation Crossing Stage wouldn''t have such power..." "You, you''re actually an Immortal!" The Deputy Sect Master''s face showed terror. Su Xing didn''t answer him, but skillfully said: "Gentlemen, since you were defeated by me, your lives are in my hands..." "Surrender all the contents of your Storage Magical Artifact and I will spare your lives... If you wish to seek revenge later, you may try." Su Xing said this while glancing at the groaning Elder Lu on the ground. Merely three months apart, Elder Lu once again lay in the same position at the same place... "Elder Lu we have no grievances or grudges, why do you harm me so?" "That''s right! Didn''t you say he only reached the Great Achievement in Body Refinement?" "This... looking now, he''s clearly an Immortal!" The other two Cultivators laying on the ground showed a pained expression, yet continued to complain to Elder Lu. Meanwhile, Elder Lu was somewhat delirious, muttering: "An Immortal... he''s actually an Immortal!" "Why, why would an Immortal help the Bai Family?" Three months ago, although Elder Lu hadn''t crawled back to Baiyun Sect, he had crawled back to his residence in Baiyun City like a dead dog, asking fellow Elders for help. He had become the laughing stock of the entire Baiyun City. This almost shattered his Dao Heart as a Cultivator in the late Integration Phase! Over these three months, he thought incessantly about revenge... But now, the one protecting the Bai Family Siblings turned out to be an Immortal. How could he possibly contend? The Deputy Sect Master also appeared dejected. His strength was nearly invincible in Baiyun Realm, thus he had intended to save face for his fellow sect members but was unexpectedly rendered powerless by this unfamiliar Cultivator. Fortunately, seeing that Su Xing had no intention to kill, he pleaded: "This esteemed immortal, please spare our lives... I am the Deputy Sect Master of Baiyun Sect, I am willing to pay five million Low-grade Spirit Stones as ransom for our four lives, just spare us, and we will surely not seek revenge..." But when the Deputy Sect Master spoke, Su Xing waved his hand dismissively, not interested in five million Low-grade Spirit Stones. He needed various healing medicines to quickly restore his strength, naturally preferring to take these elders'' and the Sect Master''s Storage Magical Artifacts. Thus, Su Xing said: "I said, hand over your Storage Magical Artifacts, and I''ll spare your lives!" "Otherwise, don''t blame me for killing and plundering..." The other Elders hearing this, each took out their Storage Magical Artifacts, prepared to sacrifice wealth to preserve their lives. Only the Deputy Sect Master still hesitated, saying: "There are not many treasures in my Storage Magical Artifact... How about I give eight million Low-grade Spirit Stones instead, and you spare my life?" Seeing that the Deputy Sect Master was so reluctant to hand over his Storage Magical Artifact, Su Xing thought of something and said: "Oh? Could it be there''s something unsightly in your artifact? Well, I would like to take a look!" When Su Xing was about to forcibly take the Storage Magical Artifact, the Deputy Sect Master closed his eyes, hesitated for a long while, and when he opened them again, he appeared somewhat crazed. "Yes, you provoked me! You should have been content with the Spirit Stones, why must you insist on taking my Storage Magical Artifact?" "Ha ha, today none of you shall live!" With that said, the Deputy Sect Master took out a strange crystal ball, crushed it, and respectfully directed it towards a certain direction: "Please, Grand Sect Master, make an appearance and judge for me!" Upon hearing this, Su Xing''s face displayed an interested expression, muttering: "Oh, reinforcements?" Almost immediately, Su Xing sensed something, and looked in a certain direction in the sky. A figure in a black robe tore through The Void, appearing next to the Deputy Sect Master in the next second, slightly glanced at Su Xing, and then scolded the Deputy Sect Master: "You useless thing! You truly accomplish nothing yet ruin everything!" "If it weren''t for your remaining usefulness, I would genuinely have to kill you myself!" Saying so, the black-robed man glanced at Su Xing and the rest of the Elders and said: "Those who have seen me either join the sect or be directly exterminated, and no survivors must be left behind!" The Deputy Sect Master''s face turned ashen, pointing at Su Xing he said: "Please, Grand Sect Master, kill this subordinate... As for the other elders, I will persuade them!" After the black-robed man heard this, he slightly nodded and looked towards Su Xing. At this moment, Su Xing was extremely shocked. The aura of the black-robed man seemed familiar, and the Cultivation Technique he practiced seemed... It was the Blood Immortal Scripture! Chapter 1032 - 364 Ink Ice Sword Drawn, Descending Sects Arrangement! Blood Immortal Scripture! Why would members of the Descending Sect appear here... Su Xing''s heart trembled, and soon he thought of a possibility. The Descending Sect, even the invasion of the Foreign Race, was aimed at the entire Three Thousand Worlds. They had even sneaked into the central part of the Three Thousand Worlds without anyone noticing... the Heavenly Secrets Domain! At this moment, the only Great Domains that Su Xing knew were invaded by the Foreign Race included: Qingyun Realm, Heavenly Demon Territory, and Heavenly Secrets Domain! "So... does Baiyun Sect have a collusion with the Descending Sect?" "Or is it just this Deputy Sect Master colluding with the Descending Sect here?" Several thoughts flashed through Su Xing''s mind, but either way, this was not good news. Su Xing had long been an adversary of the Descending Sect. Throughout his cultivation journey, Su Xing was aware of the massive strength of the Descending Sect, and the terrifying power of its high-ranking members, comparable to any top powers in the entire Three Thousand Worlds! "It seems, this matter cannot end on good terms..." Su Xing''s eyebrows furrowed tightly, staring at the black shadow in front of him, he could vaguely sense the strength of this robed cultivator Early Stage of Heavenly Immortal Realm! This was one of the top fifty officers in the Descending Sect... Su Xing did not know the exact code number. "Early Stage of Heavenly Immortal cultivation level, adding the sinister methods of the evil cultivators of the Descending Sect, this guy''s real strength is probably not less than that of Mid-Stage Immortal..." Thinking of this, Su Xing felt it was a bit tricky. If it were his heyday, a mere Heavenly Immortal cultivation would naturally not be taken seriously by Su Xing. But now, Su Xing''s strength had greatly diminished, and he could only use the power of his physical body, and his internal energy had not yet recovered, whether he could fight a Heavenly Immortal cultivator was still uncertain. "But, since I''ve encountered him, there is no escape!" Su Xing took a deep breath, his gaze towards the robed person in front of him showed no signs of shrinking. The robed person in front of him, upon seeing Su Xing, examined him carefully, revealing a sneer on his face. "It seems, your previous cultivation level was not low... perhaps an Earth Immortal, or even Heavenly Immortal Realm?" "But now, it seems your cultivation has been destroyed, how much of your strength can you exhibit?" "I see your cultivation has not been easy, if you are willing to join the holy religion, and let me leave my Divine Sense imprint deep in your Divine Soul, I might spare your life!" The robed man, confident of victory, began to taunt verbally. Upon hearing the robed man''s words, Su Xing''s face showed a strange expression; this guy, not high in cultivation, but full of ideas. But Su Xing did not plan to argue with him, what the layout of the Descending Sect in the Heavenly Secrets Domain was, even what the relationship with Baiyun Sect was... As long as this person is killed, everything could be known! Even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit, let alone now that Su Xing''s strength was greatly damaged, he naturally would not underestimate his opponent and used his full strength right from the start! Su Xing mobilized the little Origin Force inside his body, covering his physical body, and hurled a punch towards the robed person. Su Xing moved quickly, but the robed man, after all, had a Heavenly Immortal cultivation level, and also possessed terrifying practical experience. The robed man quickly took out a tripod-shaped Magical Treasure, applied an Art and Technique, and in an instant, the palm-sized tripod became as huge as a hillock, the body of the tripod enveloped in dark energy, appearing extremely fearsome. Facing this fierce attack, Su Xing did not retreat, but instead intensified his strength by three parts and slammed his fist towards the dark tripod! Boom boom boom! The loud noise instantly spread throughout Baiyun City, the terrifying vibration made the entire Baiyun City seem as if it were in an earthquake zone. Following that, the ground began to collapse, the earth opened its gaping maw, swallowing several buildings. Seeing this, Su Xing''s eyebrows furrowed deeply. Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The battle between Heavenly Immortals could destroy the entire White Emperor City! And currently, the civilians in White Emperor City are innocents, not to mention the Bai Family Siblings were nearby. "No, I must shift the battlefield..." Su Xing knew that if he let loose, White Emperor City might be destroyed within an hour. "But, before shifting the battlefield, I must first take care of those few lackeys..." Now was not the time for mercy, Su Xing looked towards several Baiyun Sect Elders who were lying on the ground recovering from injuries, a murderous intent surged in his heart. The next second, Su Xing flashed beside the four, and in an instant, a few punches blasted out, three Elders of the Descending Sect were pounded into a pile of mush. Only leaving that Deputy Sect Master of Baiyun Sect with a face full of terror retreating continuously. "You bastard, stop! Do you also want to kill disciples of the Descending Sect?" The robed man, unable to contain his anger, used an Art and Technique to control the dark tripod, smashing it towards Su Xing. Su Xing did not dodge, hurling a punch, also smashing that Deputy Sect Master of Baiyun Sect into mush. At the same time, the hundred-foot-tall, hillock-sized dark tripod also smashed onto Su Xing... Boom boom boom! Such a terrifying commotion, again causing the ground to collapse by several tens of meters. And the huge dark tripod firmly pressed Su Xing underneath. The air still echoed with the sound of the dark tripod striking the ground, like the clash of metal weapons. "Master!" The siblings hiding in the Bai family courtyard, seeing this scene, immediately had tears in their eyes. Such a huge tripod smashing onto Su Xing... in the siblings'' minds, there was no possibility of survival! "Master, it''s my fault... it''s all my fault!" "Master, we have dragged you down..." The siblings watched the huge dark tripod with faces full of pain. On the other side, the robed man''s face also didn''t look very good. "Damn, where did this madman come from... his own life, yet insists on killing those people?" The robed man really couldn''t understand why Su Xing would choose to hard tank his dark tripod strike. "But fortunately, this also saves me some trouble... it''s a pity that I need to reselect an agent in Baiyun Realm now..." Chapter 1033 - 364 Ink Ice Sword Drawn, Descending Sects Arrangement!_2 To the dark-robed figure, Su Xing, although strong, had absolutely no chance of surviving after withstanding his powerful strike. But just as he was about to retract the black cauldron, his expression suddenly changed. In his sensation, beneath the black cauldron, there was still a strong life force, very much alive! "No, it''s impossible! With this strike of mine, even a Heavenly Immortal, caught off guard, would surely be seriously injured!" "How could he defend against it when clearly all of his cultivation level was destroyed?" The dark-robed figure at first couldn''t believe it, but he quickly thought of a possibility. "Could this person... perhaps be a rare Body Refinement Cultivator, or even practicing both Body and Qi Refinement!?" The dark-robed figure had never imagined that Su Xing''s strength lay not in his Qi Refining Cultivation, but in Body Refinement! Originally, he''d thought that Su Xing was just a typical Immortal Physique, and even though his Qi Refining Cultivation was completely destroyed, relying on the Immortal Physique alone, he would still be able to overpower any Cultivator in the Mahayana Realm. "I truly misjudged..." A solemn look flashed across the dark-robed figure''s face, then his fingers formed a magic seal, preparing to use Divine Arts. On the other side, the previously quiet black cauldron started to vibrate violently. Immediately after, the hundred-zhang-tall massive object was sent flying tens of miles out of the city. Su Xing dusted off the dust from his body and then ran towards the direction outside the city. Upon seeing this, the dark-robed figure sneered: "Thinking of running because you know you''re no match? Not so easy!" With that, he pursued Su Xing. All along the way, Su Xing deliberately slowed down, fighting and fleeing, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed. Half a day later, Su Xing arrived near a desolate mountain where no humans resided, only ferocious beasts, making it a suitable place for battle! Su Xing quietly waited in place, and very soon the dark-robed figure caught up, his face showing a mocking look: "Run? Why aren''t you running now?" The dark-robed figure assumed Su Xing was lacking in strength, then cast his Art and Technique, attacking Su Xing. Yet all this time, Su Xing had already thoroughly gauged the dark-robed figure''s strength. Roughly equivalent to a Mid-Stage Heavenly Immortal, skilled in various arts and techniques, but his understanding of the Great Dao was not profound. "Of course, it''s because I think it''s time for you to die... there''s no need to drag this out any longer!" Su Xing said indifferently. Hearing this, the dark-robed figure laughed coldly: "Ha, such arrogant words! I really want to see how capable you are!" That said, he cast his Art and Technique again, summoning the black cauldron to smash towards Su Xing. Facing the terrifying black cauldron, Su Xing just stood quietly in his place, closing his eyes slightly as if giving up on resisting. But if one got close, they could hear Su Xing murmur from the corner of his mouth: "Old buddy, it''s time to unsheathe!" As Su Xing''s voice fell, a series of light ringing sounds came from within his body! The next second, a flying sword flew out from within Su Xing''s body and slashed towards the black cauldron. Ink Ice Sword! The long-silent Ink Ice, had finally been unsheathed! Ever since Su Xing refined the Ink Ice Sword into his life-bound Origin Weapon, the sword had been cultivating within his body. Previously, Su Xing had not recovered enough Origin Force to utilize the sword. But now, Su Xing had regained much of his Origin Force and was able to wield the sword, paying a certain price, to cut down his enemies! The Ink Ice Sword was one of Su Xing''s biggest trump cards! The sword had hardly been affected in that battle, an authentic mid-rank Acquired Treasure! As soon as the Ink Ice Sword was unsheathed, it went straight towards the black cauldron. The next second, like cutting through tofu, the small mountain-sized black cauldron was cleaved into pieces, scattered around the desolate mountain. At the same time, an astonished expression appeared in the eyes of the dark-robed figure: "No, this is impossible! How could it be..." Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. His pupils contracted, not having time to react, when the momentum of the Ink Ice Sword that shattered the black cauldron continued, stabbing towards the dark-robed figure. The next second, a streak of sword light pierced through the dark-robed figure''s forehead. Just before his death, the dark-robed figure still carried a look of disbelief. After cutting off the dark-robed figure''s lifeforce, the Ink Ice Sword turned into a streak of spiritual light, returning to Su Xing''s hand. Looking at the returning Ink Ice Sword, Su Xing revealed a smile, tenderly stroked it a few times before saying: "Old friend, you''ve worked hard... using you to cut down a mere Heavenly Immortal Realm is indeed overkill..." Su Xing''s heart moved, and he took back the Ink Ice Sword into his body to nourish it. With his current strength, he''s still unable to use the Ink Ice Sword for extended periods. Feeling Su Xing''s thoughts, the Ink Ice Sword hesitantly trembled twice before obediently returning into his body. After successfully killing the man in the black robe, Su Xing took his Storage Magical Artifact. There were prohibitions on this Storage Magical Artifact, and Su Xing was temporarily unable to open it; he had to wait until his Qi Refining Cultivation recovered to a certain extent before he could use it. "Hopefully, nothing has happened in Baiyun City..." Su Xing concealed the traces of battle, then hurried back to Baiyun City. Half a day later, Su Xing safely returned to Baiyun City. Although the main battlefield wasn''t inside Baiyun City, a few rounds of the previous fight had also destroyed nearly half of the city. Thousands of low-rank cultivators and ordinary people died in that shocking event Even Su Xing was unable to prevent this casualty. After the battle had ended, Su Xing collected the bodies of several elders, planning to leave Baiyun City with the Bai Family siblings. In this battle, a Heavenly Immortal Realm officer from the Descending Sect was killed by Su Xing. Afterward, the Descending Sect would undoubtedly come to investigate, and given Su Xing''s current strength, confronting the Descending Sect was not a wise decision. If the Descending Sect had top ten ranked officers in this realm, then Su Xing''s chances of survival were slim. Thus, Su Xing took the Bai Family siblings and left Baiyun City overnight. ... In the blink of an eye, two years passed. Baiyun Realm, somewhere in the Baiyun Sect''s Daoist ground. Su Xing stared unblinkingly at the Storage Magical Artifact in front of him, then used a bit of his slowly recovered Divine Soul power to start breaking the prohibitions on the artifact. After an unknown length of time, from when the sun was overhead to when the moon hung over the tree tops, Su Xing finally let out a long breath of relief, his face showing delight: "Phew, it''s finally done!" With a thought from Su Xing, piles of materials appeared in the Daoist ground. This Storage Ring belonged to that man in the black robe! Over the past two years, even though Su Xing''s Mana had not fully recovered, he still used some special methods to break the Storage Magical Artifacts of those elders, one by one. Only the prohibition from that Heavenly Immortal in the black robe was a bit difficult to solve, and Su Xing had to expend some effort, but today he finally managed to open it. Looking at the mountains of various cultivation resources, Su Xing continuously searched through them. After a moment, Su Xing found a blood-colored token, on which the number thirty-nine was engraved. "Blood code number, thirty-nine, huh?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow; as he had predicted, the Descending Sect had indeed begun to infiltrate the Heavenly Secrets Domain! "But the only good news is... that the Baiyun Sect''s Deputy Sect Master''s collusion with the Descending Sect was only an individual act, it had not yet escalated to the level of the entire Baiyun Sect." "This indicates that the Descending Sect''s infiltration into the Heavenly Secrets Domain had just begun, it''s just that I don''t know how many people the Descending Sect has already dispatched into the Heavenly Secrets Domain?" Thinking thus, Su Xing continued searching through Blood Thirty-Nine''s personal belongings. After some effort, Su Xing found several letters and a Jade Slip used for communication. Without any hesitation, Su Xing immediately destroyed the Jade Slip, and then began reading the contents of the letters. After a short while, Su Xing''s brow slightly furrowed, his face showing a stunned expression. "The Descending Sect, they''ve actually dispatched more than twenty officers into the Heavenly Secrets Domain?" "And... most crucially, the officer in charge of the entire Heavenly Secrets Domain for the Descending Sect is Blood Two!" Su Xing''s brow tightened; Blood Two''s codename was undoubtedly terrifying! Su Xing''s old rival, Blood Three, already possessed the cultivation level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal... And according to Su Xing''s guess, the codename Blood Two preceded Blood Three, which means at least he was at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal or possibly, that might be a Daluo Golden Immortal! "Tsk tsk, things have become quite tricky!" "With Blood Two here, it seems the Descending Sect is truly determined to seize the Heavenly Secrets Domain!" "Right now, I must recover my cultivation level as quickly as possible to ensure I can protect myself!" As Su Xing thought this, he then looked towards the items within Blood Thirty-Nine''s Storage Ring. The good news was, Blood Thirty-Nine carried a lot of cultivation resources, even quite a few elixirs for healing, which were exactly what Su Xing urgently needed! "With these resources... I should be able to fully recover my Mana within a year!" Chapter 1034 - 365 The Anomaly in the Heavenly Secrets Domain, The Crisis of Baiyun Realm! Su Xing was deep in thought when suddenly several calls echoed inside the dojo: "Master... no, Elder Ye! We''ve come to see you!" As the words fell, two figures appeared at the entrance of the dojo. A young man and a woman. The girl looked to be in her early twenties, graceful and attractive. The boy appeared to be seventeen or eighteen, bearing a slight resemblance to the girl. These two were none other than the Bai Family Siblings, disguised! Since the battle at Baiyun City two years ago, Su Xing, fearing that the Descending Sect might send someone again, led the siblings away from Baiyun City to the Baiyun Sect. With the siblings'' talents and cultivation levels, they easily acquired the status of outer sect disciples. And Su Xing, showing his power at the Broken Void Realm, became an outer sect elder of the Baiyun Sect. Thus, the master and disciples trio infiltrated the Baiyun Sect, cultivating and avoiding the Descending Sect. Su Xing''s move wasn''t based on the belief that the most dangerous place is the safest place. It was simply because, being the largest sect in this realm, the Baiyun Sect benefited Su Xing in healing his injuries. Moreover, Su Xing wanted to investigate whether there was any collusion between the Baiyun Sect and the Descending Sect. After more than two years of infiltration, not only had Su Xing''s injuries greatly recovered, allowing him back to the true strength of a Body Refinement True Immortal. Approximately back to about the Fourth Layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision. More importantly, Su Xing found out that there was no collusion between the Baiyun Sect and the Descending Sect, and that the incident two years ago was indeed the Deputy Sect Master''s personal doing. Meanwhile, over these two years, using his status as an outer sect elder, Su Xing also learned some things about the Baiyun Sect and the Baiyun Realm. Within the dojo, Su Xing slowly closed his eyes, recalling the information from the Baiyun Sect. "Baiyun Realm, located in the southwest corner of the Great Domain of Heavenly Secrets, quite distant from the Heavenly Secrets Realm..." "The Heavenly Secret Pavilion is located in the Heavenly Secrets Realm and is indeed the dominant force in the Heavenly Secrets Domain." "Therefore, the Heavenly Secrets Domain also has some influence in the Baiyun Realm..." Pausing briefly, Su Xing continued: "The branch of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Baiyun Realm regularly recruits disciples as external members, who proceed to the Heavenly Secrets Realm to work..." "They recruit disciples with requirements for talent and temperament..." Su Xing''s plan was to stay in the Baiyun Realm temporarily, and when the time was right, lead the Bai Family Siblings to join the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. During these past two years or more, both Bai Xiaoxiao and Bai Yutang advanced to the Golden Core Stage, and with Su Xing''s help, both formed the Nine Revolution Golden Core. Bai Xiaoxiao is currently at the middle phase of the Golden Core Stage, while Bai Yutang has already reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage. Su Xing, recalling recent intelligence in his mind, had a consistent ominous premonition. After pondering for a moment, Su Xing said to the siblings: "Prepare yourselves in the near future; there seems to be a major event brewing in the Baiyun Domain..." Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, the siblings expressed confusion: "Master, what big event is happening in the Baiyun Realm?" Su Xing thought for a moment and then decided to tell them the truth: Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "In ancient times, the cultivators of our Three Thousand Worlds were once invaded by extraterritorial aliens..." "These so-called extraterritorial aliens use a power system entirely different from ours... they call themselves Divine Residence, harness strength from their faith, reproduce like monsters, and devour cultivators to increase their power." "Throughout these several eons, the battles between us and the aliens have never ceased, but in the recent millennia, the aliens show signs of making a full-scale comeback, launching an all-out war!" "As I know, presently within the Three Thousand Worlds, the Qingyun Realm and the Heavenly Demon Prison have suffered widespread invasions, and even dozens of Minor Thousand Worlds have fallen." "While the Heavenly Secrets Domain, located at the center of the Three Thousand Worlds, is relatively safe." "However, in the past two years, I''ve discovered traces of extraterritorial aliens in the Baiyun Realm!" "And the Baiyun Sect has also dispatched some elders and disciples to combat these aliens... But the aliens are strong, I fear the Baiyun Realm won''t hold out for much longer..." With Su Xing''s words concluding, the siblings both showed shocked expressions. "Master, what... what should we do then?" They might not know about extraterritorial aliens, but the entire destruction of Baiyun Realm at once, such news, naturally terrified them. Su Xing replied reassuringly: "Our only option now is to leave the Baiyun Realm and head to the Heavenly Secrets Realm for safety!" "Joining the Heavenly Secret Pavilion would be best... but the pavilion only recruits outsiders who have exceptional talent and temperament, and nurtures them from a young age!" "Normally, the recruitment of disciples by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is quite strict, but in recent years it seems they''ve relaxed the criteria, occasionally recruiting some disciples to the Heavenly Secrets Realm." "I guess this is the pavilion retaining a viable force!" Saying this, Su Xing glanced at Bai Yutang, said: "Ah Yu, you possess the Inborn Unique Meridian, which gives you excellent talent, perfectly qualifying for entry into the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!" "My task for you is, to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage within three years, then join the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and take both your sister and me along with you to the pavilion!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, Bai Yutang nodded slightly, but Bai Xiaoxiao was somewhat puzzled: "Master, with your high strength, shouldn''t you be able to join the Heavenly Secret Pavilion yourself... Why don''t you join by yourself?" Su Xing gently shook his head: "I cannot easily reveal my identity... and besides, I am no longer young. Among us three, only Ah Yu is most suitable." "Once he joins the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he can include two family members, and we can all head to the Heavenly Secrets Realm together." The siblings nodded, somewhat understanding. However, Bai Yutang then said: "Master, but given my cultivation talent, breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage within three years seems somewhat difficult..." Chapter 1035 - 365 The Anomaly in the Heavenly Secrets Domain, The Crisis of Baiyun Realm!_2 Su Xing responded: "Rest assured, you should focus on preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. In three months, your master has prepared a big gift for you!" Having said that, Su Xing dismissed the siblings. When Su Xing was left alone in the training grounds, he took out the Wound Healing Pills from the Storage Magical Artifact he obtained from Blood Thirty-Nine, ready to restore his Qi Refining Cultivation. "Three months should be enough for me to recover my Spiritual Power..." As he spoke, Su Xing took the elixirs and began to stabilise the chaotic Mana within his body. ... In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. Over these three months, Su Xing continuously consumed Elixirs and adjusted the Mana within his body. Finally, the originally chaotic Mana in his body mostly recovered, and occasionally flashes of Immortal Power could be seen around Su Xing. That day, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, his face showing satisfaction. "Not bad, I can finally use Spiritual Power!" "My Qi Refining Cultivation has been initially restored to some extent. At least now, I can exert the strength of the Human Immortal Realm!" "The most crucial thing is..." With a thought in his mind, Su Xing''s figure vanished on the spot, and the next second he appeared in the Spirit Field Cave. It had been years since he returned to the Spirit Field Cave, and everything here remained the same. When Su Xing created the Spirit Field Cave, he constantly reinforced it with his Dao of Space, so that even in the chaotic flows of The Void, Su Xing''s Spirit Field Cave would not easily collapse. As soon as Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Cave, he saw the playful Spirit Vein Dragon come close, affectionately nuzzling against him. Unconsciously, the Spirit Vein Dragon had grown too much since Su Xing first obtained it. A hundred years ago, the dark aura entwined around the Spirit Dragon had already been completely removed. And with the abundant supply of Spiritual Energy, the growth speed of the Spirit Dragon was extremely fast, and it was about to step from its juvenile phase into its adolescent phase. "Little Black! I will need you to take care of two children for the coming period of time!" The Spirit Vein Dragon showed a confused expression but nodded in agreement nonetheless. Right, Su Xing''s plan was to have the Bai Family Siblings cultivate in the Spirit Field Cave! Here, there were hundreds of millions of drops of High-grade Spiritual Liquid and nearly ten million drops of Top-grade Spiritual Liquid! The supply of Spiritual Energy even exceeded the usual Cave Heaven Level. Additionally, there were countless Elixirs that could help them in their cultivation... Su Xing took out a few bottles of the Infant Tempering Pills he had once refined from the Spirit Field Cave and then departed from this place. Back in the Baiyun Sect, Su Xing quickly found the siblings. Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In just three short months, Bai Yutang''s Cultivation Level had improved significantly and had reached the critical moment of Condensing Infant, ready to break into the Nascent Soul Stage at any time. As for Bai Xiaoxiao''s Cultivation Level, it had also made slight progress, and she was not far from the late Golden Core stage. Su Xing looked at the siblings with satisfaction and nodded, saying: "You two have been working hard during this period, and your master has seen it all..." "Next, I will take you to a place where you will undergo a three-year closed-door cultivation." "But you must promise that everything you see there must not be disclosed, as it is a secret of our Sect!" Hearing Su Xing''s words, the Bai Family Siblings showed curiosity but still nodded and promised: "Yes, Master!" Su Xing nodded slightly and then with a flick of his sleeve, the three of them disappeared from the spot. The next second, the siblings entered the Spirit Field Cave. As soon as they entered the Spirit Field Cave, Bai Yutang seemed to sense something, and the Cultivation Level aura in his body began to erupt wildly. He was about to... break through! In the Baiyun Sect, the Spiritual Energy was merely ordinary, not even reaching the Blessed Land Level. But in the Spirit Field Cave, this was a concentration of Spiritual Energy that surpassed even the premium Cave Heaven! Under such concentration, Bai Yutang couldn''t suppress his Cultivation Level and was about to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage! "Master..." Bai Yutang paused and then spoke. Before he finished speaking, Su Xing took out a few Elixirs and said: "These are Infant Tempering Pills, not for cultivation but for Condensing Infant. Take them quickly, prepare to break into the Nascent Soul, and your master will cover for you!" After hearing this, Bai Yutang hurriedly took the Elixirs and began the preparation to sprint towards the Nascent Soul Stage. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoxiao also felt the changes in her Cultivation Level, and she was about to break through to the late Golden Core stage! Su Xing looked at the sibling pair both entering the breakthrough state, nodding with satisfaction. And on the other side, Su Xing began to ponder over something. "Since the Bai Family Siblings are my disciples, naturally they are the descendants of Luo Tian Sect... It''s time to prepare the Luo Tianhua Immortal Jue and the Zhengyi Submission Decision!" Su Xing thought for a moment, Luo Tianhua Immortal Jue is a Supreme Technique, even sufficient to support the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. While the Zhengyi Submission Decision is even more mystical, sadly, one needs to reach the Human Immortal Realm to begin practicing it. However, Su Xing''s comprehension of the Zhengyi Submission Decision had already reached the Perfection Realm. In fact, if Su Xing so wished, he could simplify this technique, allowing cultivators below the Immortal Realm to practice it! Although the effects would inevitably not be as great as the original after simplification, it would still be enough for the Bai Family Siblings'' cultivation. Thinking thus, Su Xing took out a Top-grade Wen Dao Pill. "This pill can maintain the effect for one month, equivalent to two hundred years of comprehension... Let''s try simplifying the Zhengyi Submission Decision then!" No sooner said than done, Su Xing began to attempt refining the technique. In the blink of an eye, a month passed. ... This day, Su Xing watched as the Bai Family Siblings'' aura began to steadily grow, seeming ready to make simultaneous breakthroughs! "Not bad, the Nascent Soul formed by Bai Yutang has reached first-class quality; such talent and temperament are indeed extraordinary!" "However, a first-class Nascent Soul is far from sufficient!" With this thought, Su Xing turned his gaze towards the Spirit Vein Dragon playing nearby, calling out: "Little Black, it''s your time to contribute!" Hearing Su Xing''s command, Little Black showed a human-like smug expression and then strutted over, standing not far from the siblings, opened its dragon''s mouth wide, and exhaled Spiritual Energy. The next second, this pure Spiritual Energy surged into Bai Yutang''s body. At this moment, the already condensed first-class Nascent Soul underwent further changes! In a brief moment, Bai Yutang''s Nascent Soul quality leapt forward by one level... a Superior Nascent Soul was successfully condensed! Moreover, this mouthful of pure Spiritual Energy not only improved Bai Yutang''s Nascent Soul quality by a notch but also significantly enhanced Bai Yutang''s cultivation talent! It is not an exaggeration to say that Bai Yutang''s path of cultivation will be much smoother hereafter! However, after exhaling that pure Spiritual Energy, the Spirit Dragon did not stop but yawned and looked towards Bai Xiaoxiao. With a human-like thoughtful expression on its dragon face, the Spirit Vein Dragon exhaled another mouthful of pure Spiritual Energy towards Bai Xiaoxiao. The next second, Bai Xiaoxiao successfully broke through into the latter stage of the Golden Core, and her Mana and foundations within her body had become more than twice as stable as before! After exhaling two bursts of Spiritual Energy, the Spirit Dragon seemed somewhat weary, yet still mustered a smile while waggling its tail in front of Su Xing, as if seeking praise. Seeing this, Su Xing affectionately stroked Little Black''s dragon head, complimenting: "Good work! Here''s something nice for you!" Saying so, Su Xing passed over a bottle of Spiritual Liquid. The Spirit Dragon, Little Black, upon seeing the bottle of Spiritual Liquid, immediately showed a pleasing expression and guzzled the ten thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid. Not long after, the Spirit Dragon went aside to take a nap. This bottle of Spiritual Liquid was exceptionally precious Top-grade Spiritual Liquid! Even Su Xing himself had only ten million drops. Usually, Su Xing could barely bring himself to use it for cultivation, and now this Spirit Dragon had lucked out. However, ever since it had rid itself of that dark Qi, the Spirit Dragon had grown immensely over the past hundred years! In the past, losing these two bursts of Spiritual Energy would likely have resulted in it shedding its skin if not dying. But now, it was merely tired and would recover after some rest. "Spirit Vein Dragons, indeed seem to be the wondrous creatures of the heavens and earth!" Su Xing sighed, his gaze turning back to the Bai Family Siblings. In just a short moment, both siblings had succeeded in their breakthroughs. "Master!" "Master!" "We''ve successfully made our breakthroughs!" The excited Bai Family Siblings said. Su Xing nodded in response, and while he was pleased for the siblings, he still said: "The long journey of cultivation is fraught with obstacles... One must not become conceited or complacent!" "In the next three years, you will stay here to cultivate in this Cave Heaven..." Chapter 1036 - 366: Boldly Seizing First Place in the Great Competition, Leaving Baiyun Realm! Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, the siblings'' faces revealed their longing. They had never been to a place so rich in Spiritual Energy. This brother and sister practiced in Baiyun Realm, where their Cultivation Level progressed slowly, and the scarcity of Spiritual Energy naturally played a role in that. After escorting the siblings into the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing continued back to Baiyun Sect. "In the next three years, I must constantly pay attention to the intelligence concerning the Foreign Race, to prevent any accidents from occurring, and ensure a smooth entry into the Heavenly Secrets Realm..." Thinking thus, Su Xing continued his work within Baiyun Sect in the capacity of an outer sect Elder, keeping abreast of the conditions in Baiyun Realm and Heavenly Secrets Domain. ... In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. This was also the last year of Su Xing''s immersive simulation. This year, Su Xing''s Cultivation Level had been completely restored to the True Immortal Realm, and his Body Refinement Cultivation Level had even recovered to the fifth layer of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision. This meant that Su Xing''s combat strength had almost reached over ninety percent of his prime! "Phew, three years have passed. It''s time to prepare to leave Baiyun Realm!" With a flash, Su Xing''s figure returned to the Spirit Field Cave. In just three short years, the Bai Family Siblings had made rapid progress in their Cultivation Level. Bai Xiaoxiao''s progress was fairly normal; with the help of a simplified version of Zhengyi Submission Decision and the abundant Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Field Cave, her Cultivation Level had barely reached the peak of the Nascent Soul. But Bai Yutang''s Cultivation Level progression was nothing short of astonishing. In just three years, he had even reached the middle stage of Divinity Transformation! "A mid-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivation Level, in the upcoming sect competition, will be enough to take the lead and catch the eye of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!" Su Xing watching Bai Yutang, who was still urgently cultivating his Art and Technique and Divine Skills, pondered. In these three years, Baiyun Realm had undergone massive changes. Over one-third of Baiyun Realm had already been occupied by the Foreign Race. Su Xing''s previous estimates were conservative and optimistic... At the current rate of development, in just three to five years, the entirety of Baiyun Realm could potentially fall! Thus momentarily, the people in Baiyun Realm were panic-stricken. Both the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and Baiyun Sect began to collaborate, preserving the living force and planning an early evacuation from Baiyun Realm. Su Xing''s plan was to let Bai Yutang participate in Baiyun Sect''s selection competition, stand out, and then smoothly join the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. At that time, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion would personally send strong individuals to receive these disciples and return to the Heavenly Secrets Realm. "Master, I shall not fail you! I will take the lead in this sect competition!" Bai Yutang gave his firm promise after hearing this, and compared to several years ago, he had gained much more confidence. Soon, the day of the sect competition arrived. Tens of thousands of Baiyun Sect disciples, as well as many Loose Cultivators from outside, were all eligible to participate in this competition. And among the spectators of the competition, there were strong individuals from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion! A figure was seen seated above the Baiyun Sect Master''s seat, scrutinizing the disciples of Baiyun Sect, shaking his head slightly after a long while saying: "Alas, the quality of Cultivators in this realm is mixed, hard to find a genius!" "Among tens of thousands of Cultivators, the truly good seedlings are just one or two..." Saying so, the Cultivator drank a sip of wine, his tone bearing a trace of disdain. In front of the Baiyun Sect Master and all the Elders, this Cultivator uttered such words, but the Baiyun Sect Master did not show the slightest intent to retort. Instead, he said with a smile: "Senior, our Baiyun Realm is just a small realm... naturally, we cannot compare to the Great Thousand Worlds..." "However, there is one thing I''d like to know... I wonder how many disciples from Baiyun Realm will be able to successfully escape to the Heavenly Secrets Realm?" After hearing the words of the Baiyun Sect Master, the Cultivator pondered for a moment before saying: sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This time, I am tasked with receiving talented disciples in various realms to ensure the vital force is safely returned to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion." "The invasion of the Foreign Race is not confined to Baiyun Realm alone; other worlds are also suffering from invasions, so the allocation of spots for Baiyun Realm is limited..." He paused for a moment, then continued: "In the entire Baiyun Realm, under those who cross Tribulation, we might select about eight thousand individuals to leave the realm..." "But for those who will truly be accepted as peripheral members of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, there are less than a hundred places." After hearing this, the complexion of the Baiyun Sect Master turned considerably pale. A vast realm like Baiyun, with only a mere eight thousand spots! This means that perhaps only eight thousand Cultivators in Baiyun Realm would survive, preserve the vital force, and return to the Heavenly Secrets Realm. This amount was nothing more than a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Baiyun Realm. But in the face of the menacing Foreign Race, to be able to save these eight thousand people was already an enormous feat. As for the others, they could only fend for themselves... "Alas, at this point... we can only save as many as we can!" "These children are the future hope of our Heavenly Secrets Domain!" The Baiyun Sect Master looked troubled, his eyes on the tens of thousands of disciples gearing up for the competition, feeling only desolation in his heart. The Cultivator from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion heard this and remained silent, only drinking faster by a fraction. While Su Xing, sitting in the Elders'' seats upon hearing this, also shook his head slightly. "The vast Baiyun Realm, with more than hundreds of millions of Cultivators?" "Yet only a mere eight thousand can be saved... this number already reflects the depth of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!" Su Xing shook his head mildly, similarly invaded by the Foreign Race. The Little Qingyun Realm was obliterated, with hardly any major powers recruiting disciples in advance to preserve the living force. The Little Qingyun Realm has been in contention for several hundred years just like this. And with Baiyun Sect caught unawares, merely invaded for a few years, they were already making such preparations, which reflects the depths of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Su Xing took a glance at the Cultivator seated above the Elder''s position, his eyes flashing with a strange light. "The strength of this Cultivator seems no weaker than Immortal Ziling!" Chapter 1037 - 366: Boldly Winning First Place in the Grand Competition, Leaving the Baiyun Realm!_2 "A Golden Immortal at the peak, or even a Taiyi Golden Immortal?" "With such a formidable protector escorting us, as long as there are no mishaps, we should be able to reach the Heavenly Secrets Realm smoothly!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze shifted towards Bai Yutang among the competing disciples and said: "So next, it''s up to A''Yu to perform!" As the grand competition officially commenced, various brilliant magical arts fluctuations soon flitted through the venue. Inside the venue, every disciple gave their all, knowing before participating in the grand competition that this event could change their fates. Bai Yutang, possessing Divinity Transformation Cultivation, emerged as a prominent figure among the younger disciples, defeating many challengers along the way. Outside the venue, the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect took on the role of a commentator. "Seniors, look at that man wearing the golden eagle Daoist robe, he is our Baiyun Sect''s third-generation disciple, not yet a hundred years old but already has Divinity Transformation Cultivation... His mastery of the Eagle Commanding Art is impeccable." "And that girl who is casting the Hundred Flowers Art, she just turned sixty and has reached the Nascent Soul Peak, showing promising potential!" The Sect Master of Baiyun Sect enthusiastically commentated, praising the disciples in the venue profusely, all to catch the eye of the mighty cultivator from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. That way, the Baiyun Realm could get more slots to send disciples to the Heavenly Secrets Realm for refuge. However, with just these talents, the cultivator didn''t even lift his head and continued drinking. Seeing this, the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect was not annoyed and continued to commentate energetically. After a while of drinking, the once bright day had turned to night. The Heavenly Secret Pavilion cultivator suddenly raised his head, pointed at a spot in the venue, and asked: "Who is that young man? Seems interesting..." The asked Sect Master of Baiyun Sect lifted his head, looked in the direction pointed, and after recalling for a while, uncertainly said: "That young man appears to be Elder Ye''s personal disciple... Haven''t seen him for years, his cultivation has reached such heights?" Being the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect, he paid more attention to those who had been renowned for a long time and hadn''t focused much on the newly advanced disciples in recent years. After hearing this, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion cultivator took a swig and said: "Of the entire Baiyun Sect, only this youngster catches my eye." "Not yet twenty, yet he has reached the mid-stage Divinity Transformation! He also possesses a Nine Revolution Golden Core, an exceptional Nascent Soul... and a solid foundation with noteworthy Divine Skills." "Such talent, even among the Great Thousand Worlds, is truly outstanding!" "If I''m not wrong, this young man must possess some unique physical constitution..." Saying this, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion cultivator paused and looking at the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect, asked: "Is Elder Ye nearby? Could you ask him to come over and chat?" Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect''s face lit up with joy. Why was he tirelessly promoting his disciples? Wasn''t it to catch the eye of this VIP? As long as the Baiyun Realm showed enough value, the number of cultivators that could go to the Heavenly Secrets Realm for refuge would definitely exceed eight thousand! Thinking this, the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect hastily said: "Please invite Elder Ye to come over..." Soon, Su Xing was brought over, getting a chance to meet the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. "That young man, is he your disciple?" The Heavenly Secret Pavilion cultivator took a sip of wine, asking with keen interest. Su Xing nodded slightly, calmly saying: "I picked up this young man eighteen years ago, he possesses an innate unique meridian, unable to consume elixirs, yet his cultivation speed far surpasses ordinary people..." "After over a decade of nurturing, this youngster has also proved his mettle, recently breaking into the Divinity Transformation Stage." "He also has a sister who has now reached the Nascent Soul Peak Realm." Su Xing said, pointing to another figure fighting in the venue. After listening, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion cultivator nodded slightly, took another drink, and said: "You are quite lucky! Such talent, even in the top sects of the Great Thousand Worlds, is considered remarkable!" "If he pushes himself further in the future, surpassing your cultivation... even becoming a Heavenly Immortal is not impossible!" The Sect Master of Baiyun Sect listened quietly on the side, overjoyed in his heart. After waiting a while, he interjected: "Elder Ye is truly blessed! With just your Chaos Origin Realm cultivation... yet you''ve accepted such excellent disciples, truly enviable!" Hearing the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect''s remarks, the cultivator''s face showed a strange expression, straightforwardly said: "Chaos Origin Realm cultivation? Sect Master Bai, you might have misunderstood..." "Elder Ye''s Qi Refining Cultivation has clearly reached the Earth Immortal Realm, and even both his Qi and Body Cultivation are on par!" After hearing the words of the cultivator from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Sect Master Bai was briefly stunned and looked at Su Xing with a trace of sorrow. His cultivation is merely in the Human Immortal Realm... how did he end up with an Elder Ye possessing Earth Immortal cultivation? That look clearly said: Elder Ye, you''ve really kept me in the dark painfully! Su Xing chuckled awkwardly after hearing this and said: "In the past years, to avoid enemies and to better take care of the siblings, I concealed some of my cultivation, please do not blame me." Sect Master Bai, upon hearing this, was far from blaming Su Xing, he was too happy for that. The cultivator from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was also in a better mood having finally found a promising seed in the Baiyun Realm. Sect Master Bai and the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion chatted for a while longer, then took the opportunity to say: "Senior, how about the quota for cultivators from Baiyun Realm to go to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion this time?" After hearing this, the cultivator from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion nodded slightly and said: "It''s not easy for Baiyun Realm to cultivate cultivators, this time we will organize a spot for ten thousand cultivators, and after the assembly ends, they can return with me to the Heavenly Secrets Realm." Sect Master Bai was smiling so wide he couldn''t close his mouth. That''s two thousand more cultivators, which means an additional hope kept for the Baiyun Realm. ... In the blink of an eye, three days passed. The results of this Baiyun Conference finally emerged. Considering factors like age, aptitude, cultivation, combat power, and more, Bai Yutang undoubtedly became the first place winner in the competition! Even Bai Xiaoxiao made it into the top ten of the overall competition evaluation. After the competition ended, it was time for the cultivator from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to speak. He leapt up and hovered in the high air, and proclaimed loudly to the hundreds of thousands of cultivators below: "I am Xiao Zhanlong, a Guest Elder of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, this time, I''m selecting ten thousand cultivators from Baiyun Realm to go to the Heavenly Secrets Realm for experience ahead of schedule." "Please, the cultivators on the list, prepare within three days, and each person can bring up to five friends and family to leave together." Upon hearing this, some disciples below revealed faces of surprise, while others were struck with despair. This year, with the tense condition of the warfare in Baiyun Realm, some disciples already knew what was about to happen in Baiyun Realm. If they could leave now, they might be able to save their lives. If they could not leave, the odds were more in favor of misfortune... S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing the looks of despair from most of the disciples below, Xiao Zhanlong, with a look of compassion, said: "Those who weren''t selected need not worry... our Heavenly Secret Pavilion will soon arrange large numbers of cultivators to support all realms!" "I believe Baiyun Realm will certainly persevere..." After speaking, Xiao Zhanlong did not wish to stay longer and left the place. Although Xiao Zhanlong said the Heavenly Secret Pavilion would definitely support, all the cultivators present knew very well, most of the cultivators and civilians in this realm would die in Baiyun Realm. ... On the other side, after the competition ended, the Bai Family Siblings came to Su Xing''s side, proudly saying: "Master, we didn''t embarrass you this time, did we?" Achieving first place in the Baiyun Conference in just a few years is certainly extraordinary. But Su Xing only slightly praised them and then said: "Prepare yourselves quickly; we are going to leave Baiyun Realm..." "Remember, the Heavenly Secrets Domain is your true stage... you must not limit yourselves to the little Baiyun Sect!" The Bai Family Siblings nodded somewhat understandingly. In a blink of an eye, three days passed. That day, an enormous wheel covering the sky appeared above Baiyun Sect. It was an immensely huge Immortal Boat! Just the body of the boat alone stretched for thousands of meters, resembling a long dragon. Su Xing immediately recognized that this Immortal Boat was not inferior to an Acquired Treasure! However, unlike Su Xing''s Star Moon Boat, this Immortal Boat was more suitable for carrying a large number of lower realm cultivators. Tens of thousands of cultivators from Baiyun Realm, including Su Xing and his two disciples, entered the Immortal Boat. Half a day later, the Immortal Boat turned into a streak of flowing light and flew towards the outer realms... Chapter 1038 - 367 Immersive Simulation Ends, Emperor Bai Appears! The Immortal Boat departed from Baiyun Realm, turning into a streak of flowing light that sailed into The Void. Through the transparent shield on the Immortal Boat, the cultivators inside could easily observe the external environment. Thanks to Bai Yutang''s outstanding performance, the three managed to have a relatively private room, where they could rest. It was the first time the siblings left Baiyun Realm; seeing the world beyond, they were, like the initial Su Xing, filled with curiosity. However, as time passed, the monotony of The Void inevitably led to boredom. Su Xing, already accustomed to voyaging through The Void, merely surveyed the conditions inside the boat. The internal space of this Immortal Boat was very vast, yet it carried several hundred thousand people. These people came not only from Baiyun Realm but also from other worlds. According to Xiao Zhanlong, they had picked up cultivators from seventy-eight worlds to advance to the Heavenly Secrets Realm. ... Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he was back in the real world. "Sigh... This immersive simulation has finally ended!" "What a fruitful yield indeed!" Su Xing felt slightly emotional; the immersive simulation had lasted ten years. In it, Su Xing met the Bai Family siblings; his Cultivation Level had initially dropped but then recovered, giving him a deeper understanding of the cultivation path. More importantly, Su Xing successfully reached the Heavenly Secrets Domain and began exploring its conditions! "If nothing goes wrong, this simulation should smoothly let me meet the Heavenly Secret Pavilion''s Pavilion Master and clarify some matters..." Su Xing reminisced; just before the end of the immersive simulation, he remained aboard the Immortal Boat. The Immortal Boat was heading from Baiyun Realm towards the Heavenly Secrets Realm. It passed through hundreds of Minor Thousand Worlds and stopped in several others to take on more cultivators. Therefore, the entire journey was likely to take over thirty years. When the immersive simulation ended, the Immortal Boat was still in transit within The Void. "Hopefully, we can safely reach the Heavenly Secrets Realm next..." "Although there''s Xiao Zhanlong''s strong protection along the way, for some reason, I always feel an ominous premonition..." Su Xing lightly shook his head. This immersive simulation had brought him significant gains. This harvest was mostly a growth in his mental state... Throughout his cultivation journey, Su Xing had not experienced many setbacks, but the cultivation retraining in this immersive simulation made his future path much smoother. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal needs to exercise caution towards his mental state. More so for Su Xing who requires growth in mental resilience! After pondering, Su Xing looked again at the simulation panel. [In the two hundred and ninetieth year, you boarded the Immortal Boat, traveling through The Void with a group of cultivators, departing from Baiyun Realm, steering toward the Heavenly Secrets Realm.] [In the blink of an eye, ten years passed...] [During these ten years, you remained on the Immortal Boat, daily restoring your Cultivation Level.] [In the three hundredth year, your Cultivation Level finally fully recovered!] [Meanwhile, this year, your disciple Bai Yutang successfully broke through to the Return to Void Realm!] [And Bai Xiaoxiao smoothly entered the Divinity Transformation Stage...] [Over the ten years, under Xiao Zhanlong''s leadership, you stopped at over ten Minor Thousand Worlds, selectively recruiting talented cultivators for the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [As more worlds were reached, the space on the Immortal Boat became increasingly scarce, nearly filled to its entirety.] [In the three hundred and tenth year, the Immortal Boat carried millions of low-rank cultivators, from hundreds of different worlds, all aiming for the Heavenly Secrets Realm.] [Seeing the increasing number of cultivators on the Immortal Boat, you had an indistinct ominous premonition.] [The Immortal Boat carried millions of cultivators from various worlds, from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation Stage, to Tribulation Crossing Immortal Realm... They could be considered the hope for the Heavenly Secrets Realm for a thousand to ten thousand years!] [If this Immortal Boat were destroyed, it could potentially create a gap in cultivators for the next ten thousand years in the Heavenly Secrets Realm.] [Such a splendid opportunity, Foreign Races and the Descending Sect that have already invaded the Heavenly Secrets Realm, cannot possibly let it slip by...] Back in the real world, Su Xing''s expression also became grave. "Indeed, each Divinity Transformation cultivator on this Immortal Boat... could potentially be an Immortal in a few hundred, to a thousand years!" "In ten thousand years, those cultivators might become Heavenly Immortals or even True Immortals!" "If I were a member of the Descending Sect... naturally, I would not miss such a great opportunity!" Thinking this, Su Xing became increasingly convinced that the Descending Sect definitely prepared a contingency, planning to attack this Flying Boat! "Next, it will be interesting to see how the Heavenly Secret Pavilion responds..." Su Xing pondered, the Pavilion surely couldn''t be unaware of this point, and must have prepared countermeasures. However, it remains uncertain if these countermeasures are sufficient. He looked back at the simulation panel. [After over a year, the Immortal Boat smoothly sailed through several Minor Thousand Worlds, and the boat became virtually full with cultivators.] [And you are getting ever closer to the Heavenly Secrets Realm...] [But you discover, the closer you approach the Heavenly Secrets Realm, the more cautious Xiao Zhanlong, who is responsible for this mission, becomes.] [The normally alcohol-loving Xiao Zhanlong hasn''t touched a drop of liquor for three whole years... seemingly dealing with something.] [From Xiao Zhanlong''s state, you could guess that indeed, something was about to occur.] [In the three hundred and fifteenth year, Bai Xiaoxiao smoothly advanced to the Peak of Divinity Transformation.] [And the extraordinarily talented Bai Yutang was not far from reaching the Integration Phase.] [This year, your understanding of the Great Dao almost fully recovers, you begin to exercise the Path of Causality and Destiny, and start divining the future''s fortunes and disasters.] [But you tried several divination attempts, only to feel a layer of invisible mist seemingly obstructing your divinations.] Chapter 1039 - 367 Immersive Simulation Ends, Emperor Bai Appears!_2 [You even spent a thousand years of lifespan just to divine, that in the next half year, a calamity would occur.] [But how the calamity would come, you could not ascertain.] [Being naturally cautious, you told your two disciples to hide inside your portable realm, to prevent any mishaps.] [In the blink of an eye, several months passed.] [One day, as expected, eerie fluctuations transmitted from the void outside the Immortal Boat.] [A beam of light shot forth from hundreds of thousands of miles away, striking the Immortal Boat precisely.] [Fortunately, at the same time, a transparent formation prohibition rose above the Immortal Boat, staunchly blocking the beam of light.] [Even so, the whole Immortal Boat experienced intense shaking.] [While you were meditating in your room, the sudden tremors woke you, and through the protective barrier, you sensed several powerful presences swiftly approaching.] [Seeing this, you sighed, it seems the attack had still arrived!] [The next second, Xiao Zhanlong stepped through the void, landing on the Immortal Boat, his gaze fixed on a certain direction tens of thousands of miles away.] [The Immortal Boat and the attackers approached each other, quickly closing the distance in just a moment.] [And you finally saw the enemies lying in ambush!] [It was an entire Alien Legion, numbering over ten thousand!] [Each member of the Alien Legion was above the God Realm.] [You even felt that more than half possessed the strength of a True God... and many had power comparable to a True Immortal, Profound Immortal!] [What shocked you even more was that every single member of this Alien Legion had red eyes!] [The leader of the Alien Legion, the aura emanating from him even caused your heart to tremble...] [Compared to the forces on this Immortal Boat, the strength of the Alien Legion was overwhelmingly stronger!] [You were curious in your heart, facing such formidable foes, how would Xiao Zhanlong respond?] In the real world, Su Xing''s heart skipped a beat. The strength of this Alien Legion was enormous, as Su Xing had anticipated. But these Red-eyed Foreign Race... "Hisss~ Why would the Red-eyed Foreign Race appear here?" "Could it be, the Red Moon truly didn''t perish... and even came to the Heavenly Secrets Domain!" Su Xing''s expression turned grave; he knew the troublesome nature of the Red Moon, and also knew the strength and abundance of the Red-eyed Foreign Race. And this Red Moon, so difficult to kill, facing the encirclement of two Taiyi Golden Immortals and still surviving, even came to the Heavenly Secrets Domain? "Heavenly Secrets Domain... is that the next target for the Red Moon and the Alien Race?" Su Xing knew the significance of this information. The trouble with the Red Moon was not just its own formidable power, but also the unending threat of the Red-eyed Foreign Race to the Human Race! "But, right now, there''s nothing much I can do..." "Whether the Immortal Boat can withstand this crisis is still uncertain... If it really can''t hold up, I''ll have to flee!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the Simulation Panel. [Seeing the Alien Legion drawing ever closer to the Immortal Boat.] [Xiao Zhanlong standing alone on the Immortal Boat also couldn''t help but have a grave expression on his face.] [The next second, he boldly laughed twice, took out a wine gourd, drank a large gulp of alcohol, and a golden dragon-engraved Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.] [Immediately following, he slashed with his sword, the sword light spanned tens of thousands of miles, directly slaughtering thousands of Alien Gods!] [Under this sword, all Alien Gods under its powerful Divine Strength perished.] [Over eighty percent of the ten thousand Aliens were annihilated... and the remaining twenty percent, who were mostly wounded, looked at Xiao Zhanlong in horror.] [The power of this attack had already surpassed a Golden Immortal, reaching the Taiyi Realm!] [But the Aliens did not panic for long, after a short while, the leading Alien leader stepped through the void, appearing a hundred miles away from the Immortal Boat.] [Xiao Zhanlong saw this and his expression became grave, because this was a Alien God on par with a Taiyi Golden Immortal!] [Without the slightest hesitation, the strongest forces of both sides clashed together...] [The confrontations between Taiyi Golden Immortals could devastate the world with a mere gesture.] [If the Different Race Deities had a chance to strike, the Immortal Boat would undoubtedly be in danger, with millions of cultivators facing death... The future of the Heavenly Secrets Domain could potentially suffer a complete loss of cultivation.] [On the side of the Foreign Race, the powerful Different Race Deity blocked Xiao Zhanlong, while the rest of the Different Race Deities charged towards the Immortal Boat, beginning a brutal slaughter.] [However, atop the Immortal Boat, Xiao Zhanlong was not the only Protector.] [The next second, hundreds of powerful cultivators leapt out from the Immortal Boat, all of whom possessed strength beyond that of a Heavenly Immortal, with the strongest even nearing the Profound Immortal Realm. They flew towards those Different Race Deities, and the battle was imminent.] [The entire Immortal Boat plunged into chaos in a split second, with countless cultivators'' hearts racing.] [Once the Immortal Boat gets hit, these millions of cultivators would hardly survive in The Void.] [Compared to these cultivators, you remain much calmer, constantly sensing the battle involving Xiao Zhanlong with your Divine Sense.] [You know in your heart, only the battle between Xiao Zhanlong and that Foreign Race leader will determine the direction of the whole Immortal Boat!] [If Xiao Zhanlong loses, millions of cultivators will perish!] [But from your observations, the battle between them seems evenly matched, possibly lasting for years.] [Meanwhile, the Immortal Boat continues towards the Heavenly Secrets Realm as planned.] [If it maintains this speed, the Immortal Boat might safely reach the Heavenly Secrets Realm.] sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [However, developments still exceeded expectations.] [Under the cover of a group of Foreign Race members, a group of people in black robes quietly approached the Immortal Boat...] [Under your Divine Sense, there are about ten of them, with even the weakest holding a cultivation level of a Heavenly Immortal, and the leader''s cultivation is something even you cannot fathom!] In the real world, Su Xing frowned deeply. "The leader of the people in black robes has the strength of at least a Golden Immortal, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal!" Su Xing felt it troublesome in an instant. The organization known for wearing black robes, Su Xing''s first thought was the Descending Sect! "So...could that leader be Blood Two? Or one of the top ten officers?" Su Xing felt somewhat worried in his heart; if it were really Blood Two making a move... Without a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it would probably be unstoppable! "It seems that we''re in trouble! These millions of cultivators and the Immortal Boat will hardly survive... I better take my siblings and run quickly!" Su Xing felt somewhat helpless. If it really is Blood Two, Su Xing is powerless. His gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [Inside the Immortal Boat, you stay alert to that group, always ready to flee.] [Clearly, it''s not only you who noticed that group, but Xiao Zhanlong also spotted them.] [But surprisingly, Xiao Zhanlong remained calm, focusing solely on battling that Different Race Deity.] [You noticed this as well, becoming curious in your heart, wondering if the Heavenly Secret Pavilion still kept firm hands on deck.] [Thus, you felt slightly relieved and started observing that group.] [In a breath''s time, that group was less than ten miles from the Immortal Boat.] [At this rate, the Immortal Boat might be destroyed in the next second!] [However, just at that moment, a simple and unadorned Wooden Sword flew out from the Immortal Boat, instantly passing through the midst of that group.] [The next second, nine out of the ten people in black were dead, including one at the Peak of the Profound Immortal Realm!] [Only the leader of the people in black barely blocked the attack, but his complexion turned ugly.] [Seeing this, your heart shook, wondering if there was another Sword Cultivator hidden on this Immortal Boat?!] [And seeing the power of the swordsmanship, instantly killing a Peak Profound Immortal This could very likely be a Sword Immortal above the Taiyi level!] [Your heart settled down slightly, calmly waiting for the outcome of this battle.] [Seeing this Wooden Sword, the leader of the people in black scoffed, "Heavenly Secret Pavilion has made quite a move, even going so far as to bring the esteemed Emperor Bai as an escort!] Chapter 1040 - 368: Emperor Bais Request, Su Xing Takes Action! In the real world, Su Xing was shaken upon seeing this. "Emperor Bai, the mighty Emperor Bai, is actually aboard this Immortal Boat!" Su Xing was no stranger to Emperor Bai. In Little Qingyun Realm, within White Emperor City, there stands a statue, the statue''s figure majestic and filled with the unrestrained, elegant aura of a Sword Immortal. Apart from that, there were many labels associated with Emperor Bai. The number one Sword Cultivator of the Three Thousand Worlds! A terrifyingly powerful Daluo Golden Immortal! The Commander of the loose organization, White Emperor Tower! Fond of roaming mountains and waters, playing in the mortal world, his whereabouts unpredictable in the Three Thousand Worlds... sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There was a time when Emperor Bai was the very goal of Su Xing''s pursuit in Sword Dao! Currently, he never expected to actually meet Emperor Bai in the Heavenly Secrets Domain! "Tsk tsk, no wonder after so many simulations, I never encountered Emperor Bai''s presence in the Qingyun Realm... so Emperor Bai was in another Great Domain!" Su Xing couldn''t help but gossip internally, Emperor Bai, hailed as the number one extraordinary man in the world, also bore the label of a carefree prodigal among the powerful. Now that Emperor Bai has made his move, he should be able to repel the invasion of the Foreign Race... "Tsk tsk, but the efforts of Heavenly Secret Pavilion are truly not small!" "To protect these hundreds of prodigies from the Minor Thousand Worlds... not only did they invite a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but they also moved Daluo Golden Immortal, Emperor Bai!" "The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion must have predicted this terrifying assassination... but with Emperor Bai making a move, he should be safe and sound!" As curious as Su Xing was, he couldn''t help but want to witness the demeanor of Emperor Bai. Opportunities to see a Daluo Golden Immortal take action were few. If he could watch, it might help Su Xing''s Sword Dao progress further! Thinking of this, Su Xing recited: "Use immersive simulation... lasting for one month!" [Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation, duration 30 days, costing Origin Energy Source 30 points, remaining Origin Energy Source 1,207,830 points...] Following the simulation prompt, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the simulated world. The next second, Su Xing appeared within that colossal Immortal Boat. In the vast Void, this Immortal Boat, tens of miles in diameter, resembled a speck in the ocean, and Su Xing took a few steps and looked through the glass window of the room, clearly seeing the battle scene outside. Upon the Immortal Boat, a figure holding a wooden sword, dressed in a long robe, casually sitting cross-legged. This person had flowing long hair and emitted a terrifying Sword Intent. However, his expression held an air of nonchalance to the world. As if there wasn''t a single enemy in the world worthy of him. "This Emperor Bai... seems to follow an invincible path of Sword Dao!" Being a fellow Sword Cultivator, Su Xing easily sensed the Sword Dao and Sword Intent on Emperor Bai. That vast Sword Intent, like a blazing sun, fiercely impacting Su Xing''s heart. "A Sword Cultivator should be just like this!" Just by feeling the Sword Intent from Emperor Bai''s body, Su Xing felt a surge of emotion. Shifting his gaze a bit farther, he then saw a figure in a black robe, with reddish skin, treading on the Void with a somber expression gazing at Emperor Bai. The aura of this black-robed evil cultivator felt extremely terrifying to Su Xing. Even Su Xing felt a sensation of being powerless to resist... "This person, must be above a Taiyi Golden Immortal!" "One of the leaders of the Descending Sect? Blood Two or Blood Four?" Su Xing had some doubts in his heart. However, the next second, Emperor Bai''s words informed Su Xing of the identity of this black-robed evil cultivator. Just saw Emperor Bai lazily yawned, beautifully twirled the wooden sword in his hand, and said to the black-robed evil cultivator: "You''re not bad either! The prestigious second-in-command of the Descending Sect, Blood Two... you actually made a personal move to raid this batch of low-rank cultivators, if not for my wife calculating this earlier, you might really have succeeded!" After a pause, Emperor Bai continued: "Tsk tsk, rumors had it that you broke through into the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm ten thousand years ago... based on how you just blocked my attack, it must be true!" "But... really thinking that breaking into the Daluo Golden Immortal, you can dominate the Three Thousand Worlds!" As he said the last sentence, the Sword Intent from Emperor Bai''s body, its momentum concentrated, like a genuine sun that can incinerate all things in the world, making it unbearable to look directly. "Today, this young master will let you know, there''s a difference even between Daluo Golden Immortals!" "If the cultivation is not perfect, it might even lead to death and Dao disappearance!" Saying this, the wooden sword in Emperor Bai''s hand, like fairy scattering flowers, split into three thousand! Three thousand flying swords shot toward Blood Two, merged halfway, and once again congealed into a single blade... Three thousand flying swords transformed once more into a several hundred zhang long giant sword, akin to a cosmic battleship, attacking straight towards Blood Two''s face! Su Xing''s eyes widened, admiring this scene, and inwardly exclaimed: "What a move of multiplying into three thousand... Sword Intent returning to one!" The proverb says, outsiders watch the fun, insiders watch the doorway. With Su Xing''s Sword Dao cultivation, naturally, he discerned. Whether it was the wooden sword in Emperor Bai''s hand or this move of three thousand Sword Dao returning to one. All the swords were filled with the Emperor Bai''s Sword Intent, not physical bodies! However, with Emperor Bai''s Sword Dao cultivation, this Sword Intent was already as substantial, even more powerful than an Innate Treasure! "Tsk tsk, which realm has Emperor Bai''s Sword Dao truly reached?" "Is it the Sixth Realm of the Great Dao as rumored, or has it reached the already completed Seventh Realm of the Great Dao?" Su Xing did not know, yet he was aware that his long-hardened Sword Dao still meant nothing in front of Emperor Bai... "Tsk tsk, just this one sword''s Dao Essence is enough for me to ponder for a thousand years!" Su Xing blinked, exclaiming that this immersive simulation was not in vain! "Moreover, this is a battle between Daluo Golden Immortals!" "Although Emperor Bai is strong, the opposing Blood Two is also a Daluo Golden Immortal... it''s unlikely they can determine the winner in a short time!" Chapter 1041 - 368: Emperor Bais Request, Su Xing Takes Action!_2 Su Xing slightly assessed the situation on the battlefield. Xiao Zhanlong, as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, was entangled by deities of the Different Race. While Emperor Bai was strong, he could not defeat Blood Two in a short time. It seemed that the battle would be determined by mid-level combat power! Whether the Protectors above the Immortal Realm on the Immortal Boat can defeat the Alien Legion remains uncertain... "But even if we can''t win, running away shouldn''t be a problem..." Su Xing blinked, not seeking to turn the tide, only hoping to escape smoothly if the situation turned dire. Just as Su Xing was pondering, many rounds had already been exchanged on the battlefield outside between Emperor Bai and Blood Two, Xiao Zhanlong and the Different Race Deities. Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the Immortal Boat, followed by a knock on the door outside Su Xing''s room. "Elder Mei! Elder Mei, are you in your room?" Su Xing frowned slightly but still opened the door. It was none other than the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect outside. The Baiyun Sect Master spoke with some urgency: "Elder Mei, the situation on the Immortal Boat is dire... The Different Race Deities have torn a hole in our protection... We are now calling upon all cultivators above the Immortal Realm on the Immortal Boat to join the battle!" "If the Aliens break through, the children on the Immortal Boat are likely done for!" "So, I must implore Elder Mei to join in this battle!" Seeing the urgent state of the Baiyun Sect Master, Su Xing sighed inwardly. The Baiyun Sect Master was one of the few righteous cultivators. He worried about the safety of Baiyun Sect and cared about the overall situation, hoping to ensure the safety of the low-rank cultivators on the Immortal Boat as much as possible. After listening, Su Xing thought for a moment and said: "As a member of Baiyun Sect, it is only right that I join the battle..." Seeing this, the Baiyun Sect Master''s face brightened with joy, grabbed Su Xing''s hand, and walked towards the outside of the Immortal Boat. In a short while, hundreds of cultivators above the Immortal Realm gathered, leaving the inside of the Immortal Boat and appearing at the protective prohibition outside the Immortal Boat. With their Immortal Realm strength, fighting briefly in The Void posed no issue. Meanwhile, hundreds of Different Race Deities were approaching from afar. Including Su Xing, these hundred-plus Immortals became the last line of defense for the Immortal Boat. The Baiyun Sect Master clearly did not expect the vast number of the Different Race either. His face immediately turned pale with a hint of guilt, and he said: "Elder Mei... I''ve caused you trouble; if you were inside the Immortal Boat, perhaps you could have escaped calamity, but now..." After hearing this, Su Xing waved his hand and said: "We won''t know if we can defeat them until we try... Let''s first do our best to hold them off!" In the midst of their conversation, hundreds of Different Race Deities had already drawn near, and a fierce battle was imminent. Su Xing picked a mid-level Divine Power Different Race Deity, while observing the situation on the battlefield and responding with ease. In the blink of an eye, a quarter-hour passed. Su Xing killed that mid-level Divine Power Different Race Deity, but the situation on the battlefield was now completely dominated by the Alien Legion! The numbers of the Different Race Deities were simply too many! There were at least a hundred strong Divine Power Different Race Deities alone! After several rounds of battle, there were significant casualties among the Human Clan Cultivators. Su Xing hesitated, wondering whether to intervene. "After all, there are two powerhouses on the battlefield who could easily kill me... If they target me, I''m sure to die!" "And whether there are hidden enemies lurking in the dark is also unknown..." "If I take action, there''s a certain risk... but if I conserve my strength, just seeking self-preservation, I should be unharmed!" As Su Xing was contemplating, the Baiyun Sect Master was sneak attacked by a mid-level Divine Power Different Race Deity. Su Xing, having a good impression of him, couldn''t bear to watch him die, and thus he struck with his sword, annihilating that Different Race Deity. But this sword strike was extremely concealed, unnoticed on the battlefield. Afterward, Su Xing continued to conserve his strength. While fighting, Su Xing was even able to observe the battle among Daluo Golden Immortals, from which he learned quite a lot. About half a quarter-hour later. As he was fighting, Emperor Bai unleashed a sword strike, his Sword Qi imposing and irresistible, temporarily forcing back Blood Two. Then, looking towards the Immortal Boat, he called out loudly: "Hey, on the Immortal Boat, that kid in the third realm of Sword Dao!" "You little brat, stop holding back your strength; I can hardly stand to watch anymore!" "This young master is entrusted by my wife to protect the cultivators on this Immortal Boat. If things go wrong, do not blame me for venting my anger on you!" Emperor Bai''s voice was not loud, but it easily penetrated the void and reached the ears of every cultivator on the Immortal Boat. The cultivators fighting on the Immortal Boat, as well as those within its confines, were mostly puzzled. Did they still have hidden powers? Only Su Xing, who was in the midst of battle, revealed a bitter smile. "Damn it, Emperor Bai has seen through it!" Su Xing felt somewhat helpless in his heart. His Way of Cause and Effect was only cultivated to the Fourth Realm, enough to avoid detection by Xiao Zhanlong who was not proficient in this path. But Emperor Bai, being a mighty Daluo and a fellow Sword Cultivator like Su Xing, it would be too fake if he couldn''t see through Su Xing''s Cultivation Level. "Damn, am I actually targeted by Emperor Bai?" While Su Xing complained, he was also curious. "Emperor Bai mentioned he was entrusted by his wife?" "Could it be, that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master and Emperor Bai are Dao-companions?" Su Xing felt a little astonished, the most mysterious Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master in the Three Thousand Worlds was actually a woman? And that the Pavilion Master and Emperor Bai were Dao-companions? But why had Su Xing never known any of this before? While Su Xing gossiped, Emperor Bai spoke again from afar: "That pretty handsome little guy! Yes, you!" "You help this young master take good care of the cultivators on the Immortal Boat... this young master will give you a great gift!" Su Xing, aboard the Immortal Boat, upon hearing Emperor Bai''s words, no longer hesitated. As a mighty Daluo Golden Immortal, Emperor Bai repeatedly requested Su Xing''s help. If Su Xing still ignored it, it would seem quite ungracious. Thus, Su Xing stopped hiding his true strength; with a thought, his hidden Cultivation Level was unleashed, and his aura soared instantly by more than a hundredfold! Strong Origin Force clung to Su Xing''s body, and layers of Sword Intent converged into a Sword Qi Barrier. Four thousand two hundred Body-Protecting Sword Auras first firmly protected Su Xing. The Sword Intent inside his body resonated softly, and the Ink Ice Sword was unsheathed and appeared in Su Xing''s hand. Five Elements Dao, Space, Cause and Effect Destiny, and other Great Daos were fully activated, forming a Spirit Domain around Su Xing within two thousand feet, further elevating his strength! "Then, Junior looks forward to the senior Emperor Bai''s great gift!" Su Xing, no longer hiding, also responded aloud. Following that, he slashed with his sword! A white sword light pierced the void, flying directly towards a powerful Foreign Race Deity in the distance. Merely at contact, this powerful Foreign Race Deity was instantly slain. Su Xing did not hold back. Within mere breaths, he continuously unleashed dozens of Sword Qi. Each Sword Qi hit its mark. In a short while, dozens of powerful Foreign Race Deities lay dead by Su Xing''s hand. After killing these Foreign Race Deities, Su Xing turned his gaze towards a dark shadow of a Foreign Race in the distance. Among those near the Immortal Boat, only this Foreign Race Deity subtly posed a threat to Su Xing... This was the strength of a Foreign Race Deity, already at the third level of Deity Estate! Comparable to a Profound Immortal! "It''s been a long time since I''ve taken action... It''s time to stretch my muscles!" Su Xing held the sword in one hand, exerted a slight force under his feet, and in a flash, appeared behind this third-level Deity Estate. Immediately after, Su Xing''s right hand gleamed with purple light, layers of thunder pouring into his palm. This thunder light transformed into a sword light, slashing towards this third-level Deity! Boom boom boom! Sword light gleamed, and the sound of thunderous roars filled the air! Under the enhancement of Su Xing''s Spirit Domain, this thunder directly seriously injured it! The destructive power of thunder, especially against the stealthy strength of the Foreign Race, should not be underestimated! sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After severely injuring this third-level Deity, Su Xing did not hold back. The Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique rapidly gathered in his hands, and in a blink, the vortex of Immortal Explosion Technique was already formed. This third-level Deity roared, black light flashing across its body as it launched a counterattack towards Su Xing. But Su Xing did not stop; he simply tossed the vortex of Immortal Explosion Technique over... Boom boom boom! The next moment, a cataclysmic noise erupted from the entire Immortal Boat! Chapter 1046 - 371: Simulating Eight Hundred Years, Red Moon Reappears! [However, compared to Bai Xiaoxiao, it''s the progress in cultivation level of Bai Yutang that truly terrifies you!] Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Bai Yutang has exceptional talent, and with the purity of his Spiritual Root, he has already come extremely close to the quality of a Heavenly Spirit Root.] [You employed the Art of Destiny, using a treasure known as "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root" to successfully help him condense a Heavenly Spirit Root.] [In addition, you inscribed a Seventh Rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array on the sibling cultivators, significantly increasing their cultivation speed.] [In just over a hundred years, Bai Yutang''s cultivation level has already neared the Mahayana Realm!] [After all, these siblings have been cultivating with High-grade Spiritual Liquid all along, and occasionally receiving guidance from a Spirit Dragon, their cultivation speed is no less than that of so-called saintesses and Saint Heirs.] [In the four hundred and tenth year, arranged by you, the Bai Family Siblings successfully joined the inner cabinet of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, becoming inner cabinet disciples.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly after seeing this. "By joining the inner cabinet of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, the Bai Family Siblings'' life-saving grace from before can finally be considered repaid!" "In the future, just by relying on themselves, they should also be able to smoothly become immortals..." Su Xing touched his chin and muttered: "Nevertheless, this Minor Spirit Gathering Array is really quite useful!" "Although with my current talent, the enhancement from the Minor Spirit Gathering Array is limited... for ordinary cultivators, it''s definitely a formation that can reverse their fate!" Su Xing understands that with the Minor Spirit Gathering Array, if he wishes to establish a power in the future, he could certainly grant cultivators of average talent terrifying cultivation speed. "Looking at it now, everything in the Heavenly Secrets Domain seems normal... apart from resisting the Foreign Race, most of the time it is rather stable..." Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and turned his gaze towards the Simulation Panel. [Days passed one by one, and everything seemed very peaceful.] [In the blink of an eye, ten years have gone by...] [In the four hundred and twentieth year, one day, the Bai Family Siblings came to find you.] [They told you something... it seems their mother hadn''t died, but had successfully broken through to the Immortal Realm, and currently she was in the Heavenly Secrets Realm!] [Upon hearing this news, at first, you were happy for the siblings, but you also harbored great doubts.] [The mother of these siblings was merely at the Body Integration Realm over a hundred years ago; how could she have possibly broken into the Immortal Realm in just a century?] [Moreover, although there was no body, the death of the Bai parents was almost a certainty, how could she have come back to life?] [Not only you were puzzled, but the Bai Family Siblings themselves were also quite astonished.] [Bai Yutang didn''t recognize his mother at all, but the slightly older Bai Xiaoxiao, did know how their mother looked.] [Despite the doubts, the return of the mother of the Bai Family Siblings was ultimately a good thing...] [It wasn''t long before their mother came to visit you, and upon meeting her, you secretly probed her with your Divine Sense, but found nothing abnormal.] [Therefore, you temporarily suppressed the doubts in your heart and returned to your normal cultivation.] [In the blink of an eye, another thirty years passed.] [In the five hundredth year, that year you smoothly broke through to the mid-phase of the fifth tier as a True Immortal.] [Apart from regular cultivation, you started accepting some missions from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion while also managing to gather some intelligence about the Three Thousand Worlds.] [In the four hundred and eightieth year, you have broken into the late phase of the fifth tier of True Immortal Realm...] [In the same year, you accepted a special mission. In a certain Minor Thousand Worlds within the Heavenly Secrets Domain, traces of the Red-eyed Foreign Race have appeared!] [Although there was not a large number of them and they were successfully dealt with by the local cultivators, you knew all too well what the presence of the Red-eyed Foreign Race signified!] [Out of caution, you took on this mission, preparing to investigate personally.] [You piloted the Star-Moon Shuttle, and after about three years, you successfully arrived at this Minor Thousand World.] [Three years passed, the initial traces had long since vanished, but you still discovered some clues.] [Observing a few bodies of the Foreign Race, you confirmed these were indeed from the Red-eyed Foreign Race, and moreover, they were of not insignificant strength, approaching that of an Immortal.] [However, you did not find traces of the Red Moon in this world, and after staying there for a century, you returned to the Heavenly Secrets Realm.] In the real world, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows upon reading this. "Indeed, the Red Moon has come back to life... A Different Race Deity that governs slaughter is indeed hard to kill!" "However, previously surrounded and besieged by two Taiyi Golden Immortals, although the Red Moon managed to escape by feigning death, it must have been seriously injured!" "What is its purpose for coming to the Heavenly Secrets Domain? Perhaps the Foreign Race intends to make the Heavenly Secrets Domain the main battlefield, accelerating their invasion?" Su Xing rubbed his temple. Whether it''s Blood Two''s emergence, the mass appearances of Different Race Deities, or the resurrection of the Red Moon, it all indicates that the Foreign Race places a high importance on the Heavenly Secrets Domain. "Yet within the Heavenly Secrets Domain, the number of powerful adepts far surpasses that of the Qingyun Realm, with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master and Emperor Bai stationed there..." "Why would the Foreign Race prioritize the Heavenly Secrets Domain as their primary target?" Su Xing really couldn''t fathom the strategic goal of the Foreign Race. After pondering for a while, Su Xing shook his head slightly and said: "Be that as it may, this event has not yet occurred, and even if the Foreign Race were to invade on a large scale... the Heavenly Secrets Domain should not encounter problems." "Right now, I should still focus on enhancing my own strength... and of course, if I can clarify the intelligence along the way, that would be the best!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [After completing the investigation in this Minor Thousand World, you returned to the Heavenly Secrets Realm.] [In the blink of an eye, another more than ten years passed.] [In the five hundredth year, you spent a peaceful year and your cultivation level stabilized and improved.] [Apart from cultivating, you further deepened your relationship with the Bai Family Siblings, occasionally visiting their house for a meal, during which you secretly observed their mother, but no incidents occurred.] Chapter 1047 - 371: Simulating 800 Years, Red Moon Reappears!_2 [But at the end of this year, you received intelligence that members of the Descending Sect appeared in the Minor Thousand Worlds near the Heavenly Secrets Realm.] [In that world, a large number of Cultivators and members of the Human Race were destroyed, nearly eighty percent of the Cultivators in the entire Minor Thousand Worlds died!] [Upon receiving the news, you rushed there immediately.] [But the followers of the Descending Sect had already fled, leaving only devastation, and the whole world was shrouded in sorrow and slaughter.] [However, you carefully discovered that the slaughter by the Descending Sect was not merely to weaken the strength of the Human Race, but rather seemed to be conducting some kind of blood sacrifice ritual.] [After secretly investigating, you confirmed that this blood sacrifice ritual was the one you had seen before, used to help Red Moon restore its strength!] [You immediately reported this information to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and quietly awaited a response.] [In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed.] [In the five hundred and twentieth year, your Cultivation Level smoothly advanced to the peak of the Fifth Layer in the True Immortal Realm!] [In the five hundred and fiftieth year, you accumulated strength over time and, after a closed-door breakthrough, successfully advanced to the Sixth Layer in the True Immortal Realm!] In the real world, Su Xing frowned tightly. "Blood sacrifices and slaughter can rapidly restore Red Moon''s strength... It''s unknown just how much strength Red Moon regained at that time." "But having sacrificed an entire world of Cultivators... I fear I am no longer a match for It!" "But why does the Descending Sect carry out such slaughter in the Heavenly Secrets Domain, yet the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion still has not made a move... Could it be that something happened to him?" Su Xing lightly shook his head, feeling a bit overconcerned. The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, such a powerful entity, if even they could encounter mishaps, Su Xing wouldn''t be able to help anyway. "However, the advancement of my Cultivation Level isn''t too slow, currently, I''ve reached the Sixth Layer of the True Immortal Realm... I wonder how long this simulation can last, and whether I can successfully progress to the later stage of the True Immortal?" Su Xing felt a bit of anticipation and looked toward the Simulation Panel. [After breaking through to the Sixth Layer of the True Immortal Realm, you spent quite some time stabilizing your Cultivation Level.] [In the five hundred and sixtieth year, you once again received intelligence that the Descending Sect had continually carried out blood sacrifices in the Minor Thousand Worlds near the Heavenly Secrets Realm in recent years.] [You were somewhat puzzled by why they chose such a dangerous location instead of more remote worlds.] [Throughout these decades, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion continuously sent out Cultivators to search for the whereabouts of the Descending Sect.] [Finally, in the six hundredth year, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion discovered several bases of the Descending Sect, preparing to annihilate them in one fell swoop!] [You also joined this operation along with a group of external Elders, besieging the Descending Sect.] [This battle lasted a full three years.] [During this battle, the Descending Sect lost more than ten cadre-level personnel, including seven True Immortals!] [The casualties of the Elders from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion were also significant, with three True Immortals falling in battle.] [In this battle, the Red-eyed Foreign Race was the most troublesome, with tens of thousands of Red-eyed Foreign Race, all possessing strength above the Immortal Realm... Such an Alien Legion made you realize that Red Moon''s strength was recovering more and more.] [Although many Red-eyed Foreign Race were slain and several bases of the Descending Sect were wiped out.] [But you knew, as long as Red Moon continues to exist, the Red-eyed Foreign Race will keep emerging endlessly, continuously draining the strength of the Human Race.] [After this battle, your desire for strength enhancement grew even more.] [In the six hundred and thirtieth year, your Cultivation Level finally advanced to the mid-phase of the Sixth Layer in the True Immortal Realm...] [In the six hundred and fiftieth year, Bai Yutang successfully entered the Tribulation Crossing Stage, beginning preparations for breaking through to the Immortal Realm.] [As his mentor, you gifted him many Dao-protecting Magical Treasures to ensure his successful breakthrough to the Human Immortal Realm.] [In the six hundred and seventieth year, Bai Xiaoxiao successfully advanced into the Mahayana Realm.] [In the seven hundredth year, after more than seventy years of rigorous cultivation, your Cultivation Level also reached the late phase of the Sixth Layer in the True Immortal Realm.] In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly. "From the Sixth Layer of the True Immortal Realm, breaking through each Minor Realm takes more than seventy years... When calculated over, if it were ordinary Cultivators, it would require ten thousand years!" "However, it''s also because my Mana is profound, so the accumulation of Mana is much slower than that of other cultivators at the same level Normally, a True Immortal only needs ten to twenty thousand years to break through a minor realm." Pause, Su Xing then said: "Having simulated up to the 700th year, I finally broke the previous record For now, the situation seems stable, and my Cultivation Level should smoothly break through to the late stage of True Immortal Realm, right?" Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the Simulation Panel. [Cultivation knows no years; in the blink of an eye, another seventy years have passed.] [In the 770th year, your Cultivation Level successfully reached the peak of the sixth layer of True Immortal Realm.] [You begin to prepare resources for breaking through to the late stage of True Immortal Realm...] [In the 800th year, one day, you suddenly received a message.] [A team of disciples from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, who were assigned a mission three years ago, has disappeared and has yet to return.] [If they were ordinary disciples, you might not care.] [But among this team, there were several of your acquaintances.] [Bai Xiaoxiao''s mother, as well as the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect... and the Bai Family Siblings!] [The disappearance of these Heavenly Secret Pavilion disciples soon caught the attention of the high levels of the Pavilion.] [Xiao Zhanlong, an Elder of heavenly rank, led the team, including three Elders of human rank like you, to search for the traces of these disciples...] [Half a year later, you successfully arrived at this Minor Thousand World and began the search for these disciples.] [According to your investigation, you discovered something eerie.] [The cultivators of this realm, who were quite average in strength decades ago, the strongest being only at the Human Immortal Realm the number of those above the Mahayana Realm was merely a dozen, a mediocre existence within the Minor Thousand Worlds.] [Yet, within merely a few decades, there appeared three Earth Immortals, over ten Human Immortals, and the number of Mahayana Realm cultivators has grown to over a hundred!] [The explosive growth in the overall strength of the cultivators alerted the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, prompting the dispatch of disciples to investigate.] [Unexpectedly, the disciples mysteriously disappeared.] [You wandered in this world, investigating the reason for the sudden surge in the cultivators'' strength, and the answers were shockingly unanimous...] [According to the cultivators of this realm, they were favored by the Heavenly Dao, allowing them to gain strength and increase their Cultivation Level by slaying Demonic Beasts...] [Hearing this familiar phrase, you immediately thought ofBlue Star Profession Users!] [Thus, you asked them if they had some special attribute panel.] [But the cultivators of this realm firmly denied it, stating they only knew they could increase their strength through slaughtering Demonic Beasts... unaware of any attribute panel.] [Even so, you were quite sure that this power originated from the Red Moon!] [You immediately reported the intelligence to Xiao Zhanlong.] [Xiao Zhanlong took it very seriously and relayed the message to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Meanwhile, one of the accompanying Elders found news of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion disciples!] [Including the Bai Family Siblings and the Baiyun Sect Master, they were all in the monster-infested mountains of this world, slaughtering Demonic Beasts!] [In just a few decades, Bai Yutang even smoothly broke through to the Human Immortal Realm!] [And Bai Xiaoxiao''s Cultivation Level even stepped into the Tribulation Crossing Stage...] [You used the power of Cause and Effect, indeed finding that peculiar thread of Cause and Effect on the Bai Family Siblings.] [According to the Bai Family Siblings, gaining Cultivation Level has never been so effortless... as long as one believes in the Heavenly Dao of this world, one could smoothly acquire the means to draw strength from slaughter.] [After hearing this, your heart was filled with trepidation, aware that the Red Moon has appeared!] [Though you wanted to request reinforcements from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, with Xiao Zhanlong, a Taiyi Golden Immortal overseeing this mission, there likely wouldn''t be too much danger...] [Even if the Red Moon resurrected, breaking into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm within a mere few hundred years is very unrealistic...] [While you were communicating with the Bai Family Siblings, you suddenly thought of something... Where is Bai Xiaoxiao''s mother at this moment?] Chapter 1048 - 372: The Simulation Ends, Return to Blue Star! In the real world, Su Xing suddenly thought of something. Bai Xiaoxiao''s mother, who had "disappeared" for a hundred years, miraculously came back to life. Furthermore, her Cultivation Level soared from the Integration Phase directly to the Immortal Realm! Such a significant increase in cultivation was not something that could be easily achieved. But if, all of this was related to the Descending Sect... even to the Red Moon, then it all made sense! Even Su Xing understood why disciples of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion might have entered that world... Perhaps, it was part of the Red Moon''s plan! Then, the Red Moon didn''t directly kill those disciples, but instead, kept them cultivating in that world. For what ultimate purpose? "Could it be... To bait an even bigger fish!?" Su Xing furrowed his brow tightly. With the schemes of the Descending Sect, there was no need to disclose this information to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. But if it was meant for the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it was definitely to strike a blow against the power of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the Human Race. "The captain of this mission is Xiao Zhanlong... a Taiyi Golden Immortal of high authority!" "Wait a second..." Su Xing suddenly thought of something. What if the Descending Sect''s target was the Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion? "It seems the Descending Sect has quite the ambitious plan!" "Although it''s just speculation, this information must be relayed to Xiao Zhanlong!" Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze turned to the Simulation Panel. [Based on the intelligence you''ve obtained, you speculate that the Descending Sect aims to eliminate the high-end combat power of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.] [You promptly informed Xiao Zhanlong of this information. Although he was somewhat skeptical and wished to investigate further... he chose to leave this Minor Thousand Worlds immediately with the surviving disciples.] [However, before you could leave, the entire Minor Thousand Worlds suddenly underwent a drastic change...] [The originally clear sky instantly darkened... soon after, boundless blood-red spread across the sky of this Minor Thousand Worlds, covering the entire place!] [Every common cultivator within the world seemed to be affected by the Red Moon, and immediately lost their self-awareness...] [This included the Bai Family Siblings!] [Xiao Zhanlong immediately sensed the gravity of the situation and wanted to leave with you.] [But the entire world was already sealed; communication through Jade Slips was impossible inside and out.] sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [What shocked you even more was that Red Moon appearing in the sky... and that figure in a black robe, Blood Two!] [Since that battle, Blood Two had been heavily injured and theoretically could not recover for a thousand years... but now, through unknown means, his injuries seem to have completely healed.] [Facing a fully restored Daluo Golden Immortal, as well as a siege by countless Red-eyed Foreign Race, your victory was nearly impossible...] [Blood Two quickly found you and engaged in battle with Xiao Zhanlong.] [In a battle between Taiyi and Daluo ranks, you were unable to participate.] [Even though Xiao Zhanlong was powerful, he was no match for a Daluo Golden Immortal...] [Soon, you were captured alive...] [Including you, a group of Elders, became the sacrificial offerings for a blood sacrifice...] [Your consciousness gradually faded...] [You died!] [Ding, simulation ends!] After the simulation ended, Su Xing''s brow was deeply furrowed. "Red Moon, indeed your treacherous ambitions never die!" "This blood sacrifice... could it be aimed at completely reviving the Red Moon?" "Not only does it require the sacrifice of a large group of cultivators... it also necessitates cultivators of high realms, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal, as sacrifices?" "The Descending Sect''s plot is indeed not small..." It''s foreseeable that following the blood sacrifice of a Taiyi, several Golden Immortals, and Profound Immortals, the Red Moon will swiftly recover! And once the Red Moon revives, the return of the Red-eyed Foreign Race will bring disaster to the Heavenly Secrets Domain. "*Sigh*... In the next simulation, I must prevent this from happening!" Luckily, it was all a simulation, and Su Xing still had enough time to grow. "However, the harvest from this simulation was indeed not small!" Su Xing''s gaze turned to the rewards list. [Joy Plus One]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 Origin Energy Source points. [True Immortal Realm Sixth Layer Cultivation Level]: Survive the three calamities of an Immortal, achieve True Immortality, anticipate the Great Dao, and enjoy a lifespan as long as the Meeting of Yuan!

In this simulation, Su Xing''s Cultivation Level broke through three Minor Realms in one go, and has reached the Sixth Layer of the True Immortal Realm! Besides, his comprehension of the various Great Daos, especially the Great Sword Dao, has improved rapidly! Of course, there''s also that unforgettable memory; the cause and effect between him and the Bai Family Siblings are profound. If he were to go to the Heavenly Secrets Domain again, the Bai Family Siblings would be a good breakthrough point. "However, from this simulation, I must choose to take out Cultivation Level!" Without hesitation, Su Xing murmured to himself: "I choose to take out the True Immortal Sixth Layer Cultivation Level... along with the Joy Plus One Talent!" [You successfully took the Golden Talent Joy Plus One, costing 10 Origin Energy Source points, remaining Origin Energy Source 1,207,820 points...] [You successfully took out the True Immortal Realm Sixth Layer Cultivation Level, costing 900,000 Origin Energy Source points, remaining Origin Energy Source 307,820 points...] With consecutive notification sounds, Su Xing''s aura began to surge wildly. From the Peak of the Third Layer of the True Immortal Realm... to the Fourth Layer... The Fifth Layer... Ultimately, Su Xing''s Cultivation Level soared all the way up to the Sixth Layer of the True Immortal Realm! Chapter 1049 - 372: Simulation Ends, Return to Blue Star!_2 Even, not far from the seventh level of a True Immortal... Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "Whew, not far from the seventh level of a True Immortal... At this rate, at most two more simulations should see me smoothly breaking through to the perfect stage of a True Immortal!" "At the peak of the sixth level of a True Immortal, the mana inside my body is more than twice as strong as before!" "However, I really am running out of energy..." Su Xing rubbed his glabella, feeling somewhat of a headache. The 300,000 points of Origin Energy Source in his hand, though sounding ample, was almost insufficient for advancing his cultivation level. The plan now, he must acquire more Origin Energy Source as soon as possible! "Going to the Heavenly Secrets Domain now still seems a bit too forced..." "Perhaps after I break through to Profound Immortal in my Qi Refining Cultivation, I might be able to travel there steadily..." After some thought, Su Xing opened his attribute panel for a glance.

Even in the entire Three Thousand Worlds, Su Xing''s strength at the Profound Immortal level could be considered a formidable power. But the dangers Su Xing faces are simply too terrifying! The Red Moon, like a hanging sword over Su Xing''s head. If he doesn''t thoroughly resolve the Red Moon issue, Su Xing wouldn''t be at ease for a single day. "Each immersive simulation is a rapid enhancement to my comprehension of the Dao..." "Now, I have already had substantial entries into the fourth realm with several Dao comprehensions... These are the foundation for me to fight across levels!" The more Su Xing felt it, the higher the realm of CultivatorsProfound Immortals, Golden Immortalsthe battles rely on Divine Arts and Dao Comprehension! Taking Sword Immortal Baidi as an example, Baidi is strong because his comprehension of the Great Sword Dao has already reached the summit of the Three Thousand Worlds! "The situation in the Three Thousand Worlds is becoming increasingly strange..." "The Heavenly Secrets Domain is still stable due to the existence of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion... but the Qingyun Realm is in trouble, as Qing Yunzi is too busy to take care of himself, and the various worlds may not last much longer..." "The only regret is that this trip to the Heavenly Secrets Domain did not lead to meeting the Pavilion Master; it''s somewhat disappointing..." Su Xing shook his head slightly, he still had one simulation attempt left. But Su Xing did not plan to use it right away. "Next, I should still be able to take another trip to Qingyun City, to see if I can shear some wool at those stalls..." Thinking so, Su Xing, blessed with the Fortune Talent, thought it might not be difficult to rake in a million points of energy within Qingyun City. With that thought, Su Xing used the Dao of Space, and it took him only half a day to reach Qingyun City from outside Heaven Demon City. In the following half month, Su Xing continuously sought out valuable resources within the Heavenly Secret City. ... New Era, April 17, 2026. Su Xing appeared in White Emperor City, getting ready to leave the Little Qingyun Realm. Glancing at the Origin Energy Source on the simulation panel. A full 1.2 million points! It took half a month and spending ten million Spirit Stones in Qingyun City for Su Xing to gather this energy. The recruitment ceremony of Qingyun Sect is about to end, if Su Xing wants to gain this energy again, he may have to wait for many years. "Whew, it''s time to leave the Little Qingyun Realm and return to Blue Star..." Su Xing anticipated in his heart. Having left Blue Star for two or three months, Su Xing''s heart was already yearning to return. Without any hesitation, Su Xing found a void node, activated the Star-Moon Shuttle, and prepared to return to Blue Star. The Star-Moon Shuttle transformed into a beam of white light and sailed toward the direction of Blue Star. The fourth realm of the Speed Grand Dao, the fourth realm of the Great Dao of Space... In addition, the Star-Moon Shuttle, a medium-grade Acquired Treasure, was powerful. The speed of the voyage through the void was many times faster than when he came! It took only two days. On April 19th, Su Xing smoothly arrived near Blue Star. "Indeed... just as the simulation indicated, there''s an invisible prohibition nearby; if one doesn''t sense carefully, it would be hard to locate Blue Star''s position!" Su Xing''s current Dao of Space and Cause and Effect Grand Dao had both reached the fourth realm. Even so, Su Xing''s perception of Blue Star was somewhat vague. Su Xing spent half a day to find a slightly weaker point in Blue Star''s prohibition. Afterward, Su Xing applied the Cause and Effect Grand Dao to temporarily open a passageway. Before entering the passage, Su Xing did some divination to ensure there were no dangers, then he proceeded into Blue Star. Returning to Blue Star, Su Xing took a deep breath. "Phew... finally back!" "First, let''s go to Great Xia Country, to see Jin Congxue..." With one step, Su Xing covered a distance of thousands of miles. In the span of a breath, Su Xing successfully returned to Kyoto; after changing his appearance and concealing his aura, he headed to the villa. In the familiar villa, Su Xing saw that long-missed figure. "Sister Xue!" Su Xing called out. Hearing this call, Jin Congxue''s figure trembled and she turned her head back. Her eyes were already tinged with red, and without any hesitation, she threw herself into Su Xing''s arms. "What have you been up to all this time! Why did you only come back now..." Jin Congxue hugged tightly, and Su Xing said nothing, just gently patting her back and whispered comfortingly: "Fool, haven''t I come back now..." Jin Congxue looked up at Su Xing, suddenly asking: "Can you revert back to your original appearance?" After a moment''s surprise, Su Xing nodded and his appearance changed back to his true self. Seeing this, Jin Congxue did not hide her emotions any longer and immediately kissed him. After a passionate kiss, and after being entwined for a long time, Su Xing was a bit astonished and said: "Sister Xue, I haven''t seen you for over two months... you actually broke through to the Golden Core Stage?" Jin Congxue lifted her chin proudly and said: "Of course... my talent..." "Right, where have you been during this time? Can you tell me?" Su Xing slightly shook his head and replied: "I went to a place very far away, farther than you can imagine... But now that I''m back, Blue Star will surely undergo some changes!" Su Xing''s tone carried a deep meaning, and Jin Congxue, somewhat confused, nodded her head. After hearing Jin Congxue talk about the changes on Blue Star during these past two months, Su Xing temporarily retired to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven. Back in the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing took out several storage rings Jin Congxue had given him. Each storage ring was stuffed full. Alien metals, white equipment, various props, Abyss Stones... A thought struck Su Xing, and he attempted to convert these items into simulated energy. The simulation panel''s notification sound rang out. [Ding, a large number of energy-containing materials detected, valued at 360,000 Origin Energy Source...] [Ding valued at 290,000 Origin Energy Source...] [Ding...] After several notifications, Su Xing did some quick calculations and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, in just over two months, nearly one million points of Origin Energy Source were accumulated... it seems the Tarot Society has developed further during this time..." Chapter 1050 - 373: 8 Million Origin Energy Source, The Suddenly Rich Su Xing! At this time, including the previously accumulated Origin Energy Source in the Little Qingyun Realm. Su Xing''s energy once again exceeded two million! "Sigh, finally the Origin Energy Source in my possession is not so scarce..." "Moreover, aside from the Tarot Society, there is a big batch of energy not yet harvested... I must quickly retrieve that energy!" Before leaving Blue Star, Su Xing made many arrangements. Including the trades of the Tarot Society, the Puppet Organization in the Seven Countries and Twelve Domains... as well as the trades with the Great Xia Military! Over the course of more than two months, although Su Xing was not on Blue Star, these trades were still ongoing. Especially the accumulation of the Great Xia Military. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In over two months, Lu Yuanwu must have accumulated a good amount of Alien Metal ores. And in Su Xing''s hands were just the right amount of Elixirs obtained from the Little Qingyun Realm! Among them, the Rebirth Pill that Su Xing himself refined took the cake! If Su Xing was willing, he could even forcefully use Rebirth Pills to build a Body Refinement Immortal! Even if it''s just the lowest Human Immortal Physique, it''s much stronger than the so-called "God Level Profession Users." "On Blue Star, the overall strength of the Human Race is still too weak... It indeed needs further improvement!" "However, before trading with Lu Yuanwu, I need to make another trip to the Seven Countries and Twelve Domains..." Su Xing murmured as he planned to first go to the Seven Countries and Twelve Domains to retrieve all the items traded during this period. With a flash, Su Xing vanished from the Spirit Field Cave. A single step taken, Su Xing traversed thousands of miles, and within a breath, he arrived at the Twelve Domains. Every Puppet core within the Twelve Domains had a Divine Soul Mark planted by Su Xing. With just a thought from Su Xing, all the Puppets could deliver all the goods and resources. In just half a day, Su Xing smoothly retrieved all the goods accumulated by the Puppets in the Seven Countries and Twelve Domains over more than two months. These goods filled up dozens of storage rings! After retrieving these goods and resources, Su Xing took out some Talismans, Elixirs, etc., to resupply for the Puppet Organization, ensuring enough for the trades needed for the next half year. After doing all this, Su Xing returned to Great Xia Country. Inside the Spirit Field Cave, a thought crossed Su Xing''s mind, and the simulator''s notification tone rang in his ears. [Ding, detected materials containing massive energy, worth 390,000 Origin Energy Source, commence absorption?] [Ding, detected... worth 186,000 Origin Energy Source... commence absorption?] [Ding, detected...] Then came a series of notifications. Su Xing looked at the surging energy on the panel, his smile wide and beaming. Following the sequence of notification tones, Su Xing''s Origin Energy Source soared to an unprecedented figure! 4,763,654 points! Almost five million Origin Energy Source! Seeing this soaring Origin Energy Source, Su Xing felt an unprecedented sense of security. "These Origin Energy Sources are enough to break my Qi Refining Cultivation into the Profound Immortal Realm, with even room for further growth!" "One Realm''s breakthrough after Profound Immortal might need a million Origin Energy Sources... but these are still not enough for me to break through to Golden Immortal..." Su Xing sighed. If he could directly advance to Golden Immortal in one go, Su Xing''s safety would be greatly ensured! After all, Taiyi Golden Immortals are not so common in the Three Thousand Worlds... And with Golden Immortal strength, Red Moon wouldn''t be able to easily obliterate Su Xing. "Almost five million Origin Energy Source... plus there''s a batch of Alien Metal still not retrieved from the Great Xia Military, wonder how much it''s worth..." Su Xing felt a slight anticipation, then changed his appearance, preparing to go find Lu Yuanwu. His Divine Sense spread out like a tide, covering the entire Kyoto City. Su Xing quickly found Lu Yuanwu''s figure in a room within the military area. The next second, Su Xing appeared behind Lu Yuanwu. "Who!?" Lu Yuanwu, startled by the sudden figure in the room, got frightened. But upon seeing Su Xing''s appearance, a sense of urgency flashed through Lu Yuanwu''s heart, and he hurriedly stepped forward, saying: "Senior! You''ve finally returned... During your absence, I''ve missed you terribly!" Seeing Lu Yuanwu so excited, Su Xing was not surprised and simply asked indifferently: "Did the military encounter any problems while I was away?" After contemplating deeply, Lu Yuanwu shook his head and responded: "There weren''t any major issues..." "With the numerous Elixirs provided by you before, the Human Race''s overall strength has skyrocketed many times compared to two years ago!" "Especially the Profession Users above Heavenly King Level... it seems that several hundred new ones will be born this year!" Lu Yuanwu spoke with a bit of excitement. The once scarce and cherished Heavenly King Level Profession Users were now experiencing a surge in numbers, their status becoming almost equivalent to that of the past Grandmaster Profession Users. Nonetheless, Lu Yuanwu''s own power was firmly at Legendary Level, still one of Blue Star Human Race''s top combat forces. Lu Yuanwu seemed to recall something and hesitantly added: "By the way, Senior... if there''s any slight change." "During your absence... the strength of the Foreign Race within Demon-Subduing Pass seems to have increased." "If it weren''t for the fact that the Human Race significantly enhanced its strength during this time... I fear the Foreign Race could have actually breached Demon-Subduing Pass..." After hearing Lu Yuanwu''s words, Su Xing pondered for a moment. The increasing strength of the Foreign Race is a trend. Even now, Red Moon has yet to exert its full power... If Red Moon decides to summon the Red-eyed Foreign Race. Then with the current strength of the Blue Star Human Race, they would have utterly no power to resist... But Red Moon seemed to be planning something, so there shouldn''t be any problems in the next few years. Su Xing took this as a normal increase in the Foreign Race''s strength and shifted his focus to the Descending Sect, asking: Chapter 1051 - 373: 8 Million Origin Energy Source, The Suddenly Rich Su Xing!_2 "Is there any unexpected occurrence with the Descending Sect?" Lu Yuanwu thought for a moment and shook his head: "It seems there''s no major movement from the Descending Sect... Just some internal issues... I''m not fully aware of the specifics." Su Xing was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, internal issues? Su Xing''s first thought was of Luo Shuying. Could it be that something happened to Luo Shuying? But... there clearly wasn''t a problem before. Su Xing temporarily suppressed the bad premonition in his heart and said to Lu Yuanwu: "In this period of time... the Great Xia Military must have accumulated quite a bit of Alien Metal, right?" "I do have quite a few new inventions here, of high quality... I wonder if you are interested?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Lu Yuanwu showed a crafty smile and then coyly said: "Predecessor~ as you know, our Human Race has been treading on thin ice these years..." "Those Alien Metals are accumulations over thousands, even tens of thousands of years..." Before he finished speaking, Su Xing rolled his eyes and said: "Speak human language!" Seeing this, Lu Yuanwu hurriedly spoke earnestly: "I report to Predecessor, in recent times I have sourced Alien Metals from the national vaults across Great Xia Country... and also spent a lot of money purchasing from abroad... indeed, I have obtained quite a bit of Alien Metal!" Saying this, Lu Yuanwu whispered: "Only, I don''t know what new inventions Predecessor is speaking of?" Su Xing wasn''t angered, knowing this old fellow''s character of not releasing the hawk until he sees the rabbit, wanting to get a large amount of Alien Metal, wouldn''t he have to give him some incentives? Thus, Su Xing took out three bottles of Elixirs and passed them over, saying: "These Elixirs are named Rebirth Pills... divided into three different qualities." "There are Sixth Rank, Seventh Rank, Eighth Rank..." "Sixth Rank Rebirth Pill can help a Martial Emperor break through to the Legendary Level; Seventh Rank Rebirth Pill can help someone at the Legendary Level break through to Emperor Level, Eighth Rank Rebirth Pill can help Great Emperors at the Profession User Level break through to Saint Level!" "With such quality, are you satisfied?" Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Lu Yuanwu firstly doubted his own ears. The deals he had with Su Xing in the past were indeed substantial, but they had never reached the level of Saint Level... Since when did Great Emperors and Profession Users at the Saint Level become so worthless? To advance by merely consuming a few bottles of Elixirs? If it were anyone else who said this, Lu Yuanwu would definitely not believe it, but the person saying this was Su Xing, whom he trusted a hundred percent! Lu Yuanwu swallowed, feeling almost as if the Elixirs in his hand were too hot to handle. Elixirs capable of procreating someone at the Saint Level, he couldn''t even afford them if he sold himself! "Predecessor... Are the effects of these Elixirs really as miraculous as you claim?" Lu Yuanwu''s voice trembled. Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing his question and explained in detail: "The effects of these Elixirs are indeed as such, but their usage comes with certain restrictions and conditions..." "The Sixth Rank Rebirth Pill, when taken by those at the Martial Emperor Level Profession User, one pill per month... approximately two to three years'' time, they would be able to possess the strength of a strength-type Martial Emperor!" "The same concept applies to Seventh and Eighth Rank..." "Other than the longer consumption period, another important point is that long-term use of these Elixirs might cause the Profession User to become irritable and lose control." "However, these side effects will disappear after stopping usage..." "Even so, it''s best to select Profession Users with a strong will to take them and to have some psychologists provide regular psychological support for these Profession Users..." After hearing Su Xing''s explanation, Lu Yuanwu sighed in relief. Good, such powerful Elixirs, if without any side effects Lu Yuanwu wouldn''t know what to say! Besides, compared to the immense benefits... such side effects meant nothing! Now, the only problem was... Lu Yuanwu felt a bit hesitant and asked: "Predecessor... these Sixth Rank Elixirs are still too high-grade for us, do you have any Fifth Rank Elixirs that could help Heavenly King Level Profession Users ascend to Martial Emperor?" After hearing this, Su Xing nodded and threw another bottle of Elixirs, saying: "This is the Fifth Rank Rebirth Pill, ten pills per bottle, taking one pill per month for ten months can help a Heavenly King ascend to Martial Emperor..." "I thought you would want higher-grade Elixirs... but it turns out you only wanted the Fifth Rank Elixirs." Su Xing sighed. Lu Yuanwu forced a smile, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something and swallowed hard, saying: "Senior... Are you saying, there are even higher-level elixirs!?" Lu Yuanwu swore that in his entire life, he had never felt as shocked as he did today! Elixirs of the Eighth Rank could birth those of Saint Level... then what about the Ninth-Rank elixirs?... Lu Yuanwu already had a premonition in his heart. Upon hearing this, Su Xing casually tossed another bottle of elixirs, saying: "This is the Rebirth Pill of the Ninth Rank, it can help those of Saint Level advance to the Semigod Level Profession User..." After receiving Su Xing''s affirmative answer, Lu Yuanwu was so frightened he almost sat down on the ground and nearly didn''t catch the batch of Ninth-Rank Rebirth Pills in his hands. "This is, the elixir that can birth Semigod Level Profession Users!" Lu Yuanwu''s heart was trembling. "How long has it been since the Human Race gave birth to a God Level Profession User?" "Eight thousand years... or ten thousand years?" "Since when... has Great Emperor Level Profession User become the upper limit of the Human Race..." Thinking of this, Lu Yuanwu was almost brought to tears. "Now... a small bottle of elixirs can make the Human Race birth Semigod Level Profession Users, that''s an existence that can crush everything!" Lu Yuanwu looked at the batch of elixirs in his hand, as if he could see the hope of the Human Race. He saw the future of the Human Race! So, without any hesitation, Lu Yuanwu said: "Senior! These elixirs... no matter the cost, please be sure to sell them to our Human Race!" "This isn''t just elixirs, this is the future of the Human Race!" Su Xing heard this but couldn''t quite empathize; to Lu Yuanwu or the Blue Star Human Race, the utmost might just be God Level... But only by leaving this realm and venturing into a much vaster world... would one understand. God Level Profession Users are merely ants after all... However, in doing business, Su Xing naturally wouldn''t say such things, but instead said: "You name a price... if I find it suitable, I''ll sell it to you..." "I have many of these elixirs!" Rebirth Pills, to Su Xing, were not valuable. As long as Su Xing was willing, by spending one simulation opportunity, he could bring out hundreds of thousands, even millions! Therefore, Su Xing was essentially giving them away at half price. Even though acquiring Origin Energy Source was important... enhancing the strength of the Human Race was also of utmost importance. With Su Xing''s current strength and status, these elixirs were nothing more than dust slipping through the crevices of his nails. Although Su Xing spoke lightly, Lu Yuanwu did not take it lightly and said: "Senior, in these past days, I''ve collected a total of one hundred thousand tons of Fourth-Rank Alien Metal... five hundred thousand tons of Third-Rank Alien Metal... and nearly three million tons of Second-Rank Alien Metal." "With my current authority, I can now decide to trade all these alien metals with Senior, I wonder how many elixirs I can exchange for from Senior?" Upon hearing this, Su Xing was taken aback. Goodness, these alien metals weren''t a small amount at all! Given the foundation of the Great Xia Human Race, it''s likely that this batch of alien metal is really their last resort. If they were traded, it would probably be difficult to bring out in large quantities again in a short period of time... Su Xing rapidly calculated for a moment. One hundred thousand tons of Fourth-Rank Alien Metal valued two million Origin Energy Source... five hundred thousand tons of Third-Rank, valued at one million Origin Energy Source. Three million tons of Second-Rank Alien Metal... valued at six hundred thousand Origin Energy Source. The total of the transaction''s quantity reached three million six hundred thousand Origin Energy Source! Indeed, that number was not small. But the Rebirth Pills, for the Blue Star Human Race, could be said to be priceless treasures. However, considering the Human Race''s development and that they will become an important force against the Foreign Race in the future, it''s not easy to set the price too high. Thus, after some thought, Su Xing said: Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Here''s what we''ll do, I''ll give you one hundred bottles of Fifth-Rank Rebirth Pills, fifty bottles of Sixth-Rank... thirty bottles of Seventh-Rank, and ten bottles of Eighth-Rank elixirs..." "As for this bottle of Ninth-Rank Rebirth Pills, consider it a gift for you, how about that?" Chapter 1052 - 374: Sudden Change, Luo Shuying Dead! Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Lu Yuanwu''s eyes finally couldn''t help but shed a line of clear tears. Directly bowing deeply to Su Xing, he said with genuine sincerity: "Senior, thank you!" "Everything you have done for the Human Race, the Great Xia Military will definitely remember!" "Rest assured, from now on I, Lu Yuanwu, will definitely regard Senior as my leader, if there is any area where my services can be of use, please do not hesitate to say..." In Lu Yuanwu''s view, just that bottle of Ninth Rank Rebirth Pills was already an invaluable treasure. Let alone the fact that Su Xing had taken out so many Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Rank Elixirs. Lu Yuanwu was confident that with these Elixirs, the overall strength of the Human Race will increase many times over! It seems that compared to the value of these Elixirs, those Alien Metals are utterly useless! The Human Race has had so much Alien Metal for ten thousand years, and hasn''t it still been suppressed by the Foreign Race? In Lu Yuanwu''s opinion, just that bottle of Ninth Rank Rebirth Pills alone far surpassed the value of those Alien Metals. Su Xing, seeing Lu Yuanwu before him, was also somewhat touched. This veteran Martial Emperor no, this newfound legend truly has the best interests of the Human Race at heart! He could feel the sincerity in Lu Yuanwu''s actions. But for Su Xing, those Elixirs really weren''t of much use; converting Alien Metals to their energy was far more valuable. After pondering for a moment, Su Xing said: "In the future, our trade will continue as before... however, I hope that you can collect even more Alien Metal." "The accumulation of Great Xia Country over thousands of years, surely there''s more than this, right?" Su Xing paused, then continued to say: "There isn''t much time left... the strength of the Human Race must be further enhanced, and these Alien Metals are useless to you... but they are important resources for me to combat the Foreign Race." Hearing Su Xing''s words, Lu Yuanwu was somewhat puzzled. Although he didn''t understand the connection between Alien Metals and combatting the Foreign Race, Lu Yuanwu still asked: "Senior, when you say there isn''t much time left, what do you mean?" After hearing this, Su Xing thought for a moment and then said: "What you said earlier, about the invasions of the Foreign Race becoming more severe, and the Human Race nearly being unable to hold off... that''s because the Foreign Race hasn''t really put their full effort into invading Blue Star!" "The Foreign Race''s power is beyond your imagination... if they wish, I fear it would only take a day to take down the entire Blue Star!" "What I can tell you is... there isn''t just one world like Blue Star, but nearly in every world, the shadow of the Foreign Race can be found!" "The Foreign Race is so strong that they even simultaneously invade every world... that''s why Blue Star has been able to hold out for so long." Su Xing spoke of some matters that Blue Star''s Profession Users could not come into contact with, yet kept some details to himself. By now, Su Xing had the power to protect himself in the entire Three Thousand Worlds. Indeed, it was necessary to let Lu Yuanwu and the entire Human Race of Great Xia Country know some things. To give Great Xia Country, and even Blue Star, a sense of urgency, to put some pressure on them... Perhaps they would provide Su Xing with more Alien Metal. Upon hearing Su Xing''s words, Lu Yuanwu''s eyes widened, and after a moment, he asked: "Senior, do you mean... that aliens truly exist!?" Su Xing: "..." "Aliens... that term could work since they are from a different planet... even not from the same world!" "But the threat of the Foreign Race is extremely terrifying!" "On the land of Blue Star, there lies a tremendously terrifying existence... even I am far from being its opponent." "So, you must promptly improve the overall strength of the Human Race... and explore as many auxiliary worlds as possible." With Su Xing''s current perspective, he already knew that all the dungeons on Blue Star were once World Fragments from Luo Tian Realm. It''s just that with the power of the Red Moon, those World Fragments were transformed into various different dungeons. The Red Moon lured Blue Star''s Profession Users into each dungeon with the method of feeding gu worms. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Cultivating sufficiently strong Profession Users, then turning them into nourishment for the Red Moon. Such a practice... was no different from feeding gu! Lu Yuanwu was utterly shocked after hearing Su Xing''s explanation once again. All he managed to do was swallow before saying: "Senior... Should I keep this information a secret?" In Lu Yuanwu''s view, the information Su Xing shared was earth-shattering. Such astonishing news naturally needed to be kept confidential. But Su Xing just shook his head slightly and said: "There''s no need to keep it a secret, the sooner you know these things... the sooner you can prepare!" "Remember, the stronger the Human Race is, the better!" "But every time a legendary Profession User is born, they can find me, I will help them avoid the dangers of the Red Moon..." "What you need to do is to quickly gather the Alien Metal from all over Great Xia Country, and even from other countries on Blue Star." "If you run out of Alien Metal stock, then quickly mine more Alien Metal from the dungeons... not just Fourth Rank, Third Rank Alien Metals, I need First and Second Rank ones too!" After hearing Su Xing''s words, Lu Yuanwu nodded repeatedly and said: "Rest assured, Senior, from now on Alien Metal Mineral will be treated as a national strategic resource, I will gather all Alien Metal... for you alone!" Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this and said: "From now on, our trade will change to once a month... right, take this, if there is an emergency, you can contact me with it!" Su Xing handed over a Sound Transmission Jade Slip, and Lu Yuanwu quickly took it. Afterwards, Su Xing chatted with Lu Yuanwu a little longer, before rushing back to the Spirit Field Cave. Having converted all the newly acquired Alien Metal into Origin Energy Sources, Su Xing''s strength surged greatly once again. Chapter 1053 - 374: Shocking Turn, Luo Shuyings Death!_2 Reached the energy origin source of 8,500,000 directly! ... After returning to the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing''s eyes carried a trace of worry. "Lu Yuanwu just mentioned that there are some problems within the Descending Sect... Could it be that Luo Shuying is in danger?" Su Xing couldn''t rest easy in his heart and, without hesitation, began divination to ascertain Luo Shuying''s situation. Su Xing divined three times in a row, each omen more dangerous than the last. "Luo Shuying is currently caught in a life and death tribulation!?" "How could this be... She was fine when I left..." Su Xing divined three times continuously, all indicating that Luo Shuying was in grave danger. If quick, it was a matter of moments, if slow, within half a day, Luo Shuying would perish! Fortunately, as the omens indicated as such, it meant that Luo Shuying was at least still alive! "So, it must be because of something I did that caused the future to change... That''s why Luo Shuying is in danger!" Before, Su Xing had encountered similar problems. Because every simulation made would certainly cause some changes to the future. But whether these changes were good or bad, they had never come as suddenly as they did now. "I must rescue Luo Shuying as quickly as possible and completely destroy the Descending Sect!" Originally, Su Xing planned to deal with the Descending Sect completely after breaking through to being a Profound Immortal, and to loot the Descending Sect''s treasure vault while he was at it. But now there''s no time to delay. "However, I still have three simulation opportunities in my hands... It''s actually possible to check on Luo Shuying''s current situation first!" Su Xing did not hesitate to start the simulation. "Begin simulation!" [Simulation No. 133 has been initiated, remaining origin energy source: 8,564,396 points... 2 remaining simulation opportunities.] [Simulation starting!] [Extracting Purple Talent costs 1 point of origin energy source, would you like to extract?] "Yes!" [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent ''Dragon Affinity''... The probability of extracting a Golden Talent next time is 80%...] [Dragon Affinity]: A Purple Talent, you are born with some Dragon Clan bloodline, possessing a great affinity for the Dragon Clan, which enables you to gain the Dragon Clan''s favor relatively easily. "Hmm? This Talent..." Su Xing remembered that he had once possessed another Purple Talent, ''Dragon Slayer''. However, ''Dragon Slayer'' would incite malice from the Dragon Clan and increase power against them. Whilst the Dragon Affinity Talent was the exact opposite. "Regardless of the Talent... it''s time to start the simulation quickly!" sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing''s eyes moved to the simulation panel. [Your Talent ''Joy Plus One'' is activated, please choose the Talent you wish to apply it to...] "I choose for it to apply to the ''Great Talent Maturing Late''..." Su Xing silently chanted, as what he urgently needed to enhance was his cultivation realm. [In the Spirit Field Cave, you are aware that you are in a simulation.] [Without any hesitation, you start to search for Luo Shuying''s whereabouts.] [Your Divine Sense spreads like a tide, covering the entire Great Xia Country.] [But no matter how you search, you cannot find any trace of Luo Shuying.] [You start to use the cause and effect thread between you and Luo Shuying to locate her current position.] [Finally, you conclude that Luo Shuying is not above Blue Star at all, but has gone to another world''s instance.] [You start to search for Luo Shuying''s whereabouts in various world instances.] [After searching through two or three instances, you head to the Spirit Realm.] [Here, in Luo Shuying''s homeland... you suspect that in her most perilous moment, she might have fled back to seek refuge.] [Your Divine Sense, like a tide, covers tens of thousands of miles, rapidly searching for Luo Shuying''s traces.] [After spending several hours, you finally discover Luo Shuying''s body... in the Spiritual Ancestral Land!] [Luo Shuying is dead!] [In front of her corpse, there sat a demonically insane Damned Dragon!] [After all, you have come a step too late... the search across various worlds has delayed you by nearly half a day.] [You look at the Damned Dragon before you, without the slightest hesitation, you directly crush all the bones in his body.] [Afterward, you perform a Soul Search on the Damned Dragon...] [From the information obtained from the Soul Search, you learned that Luo Shuying, in her hope to gather more intelligence about the Foreign Race and the Descending Sect, acted somewhat too obviously, which aroused the suspicion of the Damned Dragon.] [Moreover, previously when Damned Dragon asked Luo Shuying to investigate the Puppet organization, there had been no results.] [Additionally, all the spies that Descending Sect had planted within the Great Xia Military were eliminated.] [Under the compounding effect of various factors, the Damned Dragon''s suspicion towards Luo Shuying grew...] [Now, the Damned Dragon has finally made his move against Luo Shuying, hoping to eliminate future troubles.] [While Luo Shuying attempted to flee all the way, hoping to escape back to the Spirit Realm.] [But the Damned Dragon pursued relentlessly and finally, near the Spiritual Ancestral Land, he killed Luo Shuying...] [For this, the Damned Dragon was also seriously injured...] [After learning the information you wanted, you don''t hesitate at all, and directly crush the Damned Dragon''s skull with one hand.] In the real world, Su Xing''s brows are deeply furrowed. "Luo Shuying... alas..." "Fortunately, this is all just a simulation; we should still have time to save Luo Shuying if we act now, and we must head to the Spiritual Ancestral Land immediately!" "Is it because I was not strong enough at the time... that the contingency I left on Luo Shuying wasn''t enough to kill the Damned Dragon?" Su Xing takes a deep breath, aware that Luo Shuying has always been a very decisive person. Although chased by the Damned Dragon, she never intended to drag Su Xing into it. "Alas, we must head to the Spiritual Ancestral Land as quickly as possible!" Su Xing''s gaze turns to the Simulation Panel. [After killing the Damned Dragon, you head to the branch of the Descending Sect...] [After slaughtering all the high-level members of the Descending Sect, you deceive the ordinary members into heading to Demon-Subduing Pass to fight against the Foreign Race.] [Then, you loot the treasure vault of the Descending Sect and obtain a wealth that startles you.] [After all these, you start the preparations to move the Human Race.] [You begin constructing your own Spirit Domain and move civilians and Profession Users from Great Xia Country in batches.] [With just two years'' time, you have moved the entire Human Race of Great Xia Country to the Little Qingyun Realm, and some civilians from other countries willing to ally with Great Xia Country are also successfully relocated.] [Afterward, you notify the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Little Qingyun Realm about the news of the Red Moon on Blue Star.] [Heavenly Secret Pavilion needs to investigate the truth of the intelligence, and you wait quietly for a period of time.] [During this time, you head to Qingyun City and make contact with Immortal Ziling, then head to Qingyun Sect.] [At Three Immortals Peak, you successfully make a deal with Qing Yunzi and obtain the two cups of Enlightenment Tea.] [In the fifth year, Heavenly Secret Pavilion finds the trail of the Red Moon on Blue Star. Because of the massive migration of the Blue Star Human Race... the Red Moon is preparing for an early resurrection!] [On your advice, Heavenly Secret Pavilion dispatches two Taiyi Golden Immortals.] [Thus, five years quickly pass by...] [In the tenth year, you receive news that the two Taiyi Golden Immortals have met with one death and one injury... the action has failed!] [The reason for the failure is Blood Three''s involvement!] [Due to the massive changes on Blue Star, Blood Three abandons his current task and appears on Blue Star!] [Blood Three, who has been in ambush for a long time, cooperates with the Red Moon, striking and killing one Taiyi Golden Immortal in a single blow, the other one barely escaping with his life...] [By absorbing the life force of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, the Red Moon''s revival speeds up, and even its strength recovers to be stronger than before!] [The Red Moon now, even without the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, is probably not far off...] [The Human Race left on Blue Star, unsurprisingly, all perish.] [You, however, stay in the Little Qingyun Realm, wanting to observe how this chain reaction you caused will affect the situation in the Three Thousand Worlds.] [Next, you stay in Heavenly Demon City, diligently cultivating the Tianyuan Army.] [In just ten short years, the Tianyuan Army has expanded to a size of ten thousand, all of them Cultivators above Integration Phase!] [Being on the front lines every day, your first feeling is that the invasion rhythm of the Foreign Race has accelerated!] [Red-eyed Foreign Race begin to appear on the battlefield...] Chapter 1054 - 375: To Save or Not to Save, The Two Paths in Front of Su Xing! In the real world, Su Xing furrowed his brows tightly. He had not expected that in this simulation, the situation in the Qingyun Realm had undergone such a drastic change! "Everything I do on Blue Star will cause some kind of change in the future..." "First is Damned Dragon, who noticed signs of betrayal from Luo Shuying, and he will surely report this to Blood Three afterwards..." "It is precisely because of this that Blood Three''s notice is hastened... I fear he may descend upon Blue Star in just one or two years." "When he discovers that the Human Race on Blue Star has been relocated, he becomes even more vigilant... That''s why he collaborated with Red Moon, resulting in one Taiyi Golden Immortal dead and another injured in the Qingyun Realm..." Su Xing''s mind continuously analyzed, gradually clarifying his thoughts. Now, there were only two paths in front of Su Xing. The first path, save Luo Shuying! But the cost is that the Descending Sect might be more vigilant... Blood Three and Red Moon''s actions will be advanced! Su Xing would have even less time... Su Xing must possess the strength to contend with Blood Three or Red Moon within a short two years... or perhaps even one year, to be relatively safe! The second path, ignore Luo Shuying''s death. Dispel Damned Dragon and Blood Three''s concerns... and when the time is ripe, take down the Descending Sect in one fell swoop. This way would be the safest for Su Xing! Su Xing would then have at least two years to develop... S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After two years, Su Xing, at worst, could escape to the Little Qingyun Realm, with no further troubles later... "So... which path should I choose?" Su Xing hesitated for a moment in his heart. These two paths, one is to choose the close confidante who has shared hardships with him, the other is to choose the safe path! The two are not compatible... After merely a brief hesitation, Su Xing made up his mind: "I must save Luo Shuying!" "Luo Shuying and I are comrades in battle... Without Luo Shuying, one could say there wouldn''t be my today!" "Moreover, Luo Shuying is in a perilous situation... and it is closely related to me! If I don''t save her, it would probably be harmful rather than beneficial to my future path of cultivation!" Pausing, Su Xing continued to speak: "I must swiftly and decisively annihilate the high-ranking members of the Descending Sect..." "After seizing the entire treasure vault of the Descending Sect... quickly improve my Cultivation Level, and strive to advance to the Golden Immortal Phase!" "After reaching the Golden Immortal Phase, even if I cannot defeat Blood Three... I can quickly lead the Blue Star Human Race to flee to the Little Qingyun Realm..." With a plan in mind, Su Xing''s gaze then moved to the simulation panel. [Little Qingyun Realm, frontline of Heavenly Demon City... The number of Foreign Race is more terrifying than in any past simulations.] [Worlds around the Little Qingyun Realm are called upon to provide support for the advancement.] [The overall strength of the Foreign Races on the battlefield has improved more than just a notch... Even the highest level of True Immortal Realm Red-eyed Foreign Race appeared!] [You know, all these are due to Red Moon''s recovered strength, resulting in drastic improvement in the Red-eyed Foreign Race''s ability...] [Moreover, as time progresses, the continuous battle feeds Red Moon with the nutrients of slaughter, and the overall strength of the Red-eyed Foreign Race will become even more terrifying!] [Draw strength from battles, this is the greatest advantage of the Foreign Race... It is also for this reason that several epochs ago, in the great battle, the vast Luo Tian Realm was annihilated...] [But fortunately, with the Tianyuan Army you established, the tens of thousands of Cultivators in the Tianyuan Army fighting valiantly, eventually could hold the battlefront.] [And you did not care to hide your Cultivation Level, showing strength comparable to the early stages of Profound Immortal, rampantly slaying Foreign Races on the battlefield.] [Every Foreign Race you killed allowed you to obtain substantial Flesh Essence.] [You refined these Flesh Essences into Rebirth Pills, letting Tianyuan Army draw strength from battles, and in just over a dozen years, the overall strength of the Tianyuan Army rose by a notch.] [In the twentieth year, your reputation started to spread in the Little Qingyun Realm and several nearby small worlds.] [For this reason, being of mid-True Immortal Realm Cultivation Level, you were able to unleash a battle power comparable to that of Profound Immortal Realm.] [This led you to ascend to the list of Celestial Young Talents, securing a spot as the ninety-eighth...] [The value contained in this list far surpasses the Human List.] [Various forces within the Qingyun Realm started paying attention to you, many top powers extended olive branches to you.] [Among them included the Money Guild and Tianyuan Sect!] [You did not pay heed to these sects, for resources were not what you lacked... All you needed was enough time, and your strength would continue to grow.] [But what reassured you was that not only did major powers extend olive branches, numerous Loose Cultivators also came seeking your name, and the strength of the Tianyuan Army gradually increased.] [Thus, thirty years passed...] [In the fiftieth year, in Heavenly Demon City, though the frontline situation was tense, there was a continuous influx of Loose Cultivators into the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Apart from you, the Heavenly Demon City even saw the rise of several True Immortals!] [The supplement of high-level combat strength allowed you a moment to catch your breath, starting to plan your own breakthrough.] [This year, you began to adjust your own state, consuming a large amount of Spiritual Liquid, beginning to challenge the seventh layer of True Immortal Realm!] [Thus, this breakthrough took a full ten years!] [You spent thirty million High-grade Spiritual Liquids and countless spirit-enhancing Spiritual Medicines to successfully breakthrough...] [Congratulations, you have smoothly advanced to the seventh layer of True Immortal Realm!] Back in the real world, Su Xing took a long breath of relief. "Phew, finally reached the seventnth layer of True Immortal... one step closer to the Profound Immortal Realm..." "In the previous simulation, I had already reached the peak of the sixth layer of True Immortal Realm... but even so, relying on myself, it took fifty years just to touch the threshold of the seventh layer of True Immortal..." "Even just to break through, it took a whole decade!" "Indeed, breaking through in the later stages of cultivation is extremely difficult!" Su Xing felt deeply moved. Chapter 1055 - 375: To Save or Not to Save, The Two Paths in Front of Su Xing!_2 With his breakthrough speed, he was indeed one in ten thousand. If a normal True Immortal sought to break through to the seventh layer... they might need a century! However, Su Xing''s foundation was solid... making his breakthroughs considerably less strenuous. The solid foundation Su Xing had constantly been consolidating was finally starting to pay off... "However, the cultivation of a seventh-floored True Immortal is still far from enough... the cultivation speed might get slower as it reaches the late True Immortal Realm, who knows how long it will take to reach the peak of True Immortal?" Thinking thus, Su Xing''s gaze shift towards the simulation panel. [In the 60th year, after breaking through to the seventh level of True Immortal Realm, you continue to stay in Heavenly Demon City, both resisting the Foreign Race and cultivating.] [Thus, ten years pass...] [Unfortunately, although you possess the Zhengyi Submission Decision, increasing your cultivation speed several times compared to an ordinary cultivator... the lack of the Great Talent Maturing Late boost makes your progress slow.] [So, you put more of your efforts into the cultivation of Spirit Domain and slaughtering the Foreign Race, accumulating resources.] [Because of your presence, despite the increasing frontline pressure, the overall situation remains stable.] [In the 75th year, you decide to go to the Nine Heavens Domain to cultivate for a period.] [But you really can''t put your mind at ease about the situation in Little Qingyun Realm.] [You decide to strike a major blow before setting off to the Nine Heavens Domain!] [You prepare to single-handedly attack a stronghold of the Foreign Race''s lair, hoping to successfully kill a dozen True Gods of the Foreign Race and a level three Divine Residence.] [Surely, the pressure on Little Qingyun Realm would considerably lessen for some time...] [So, you set out, heading to a major base of the Foreign Race in Heavenly Demon City!] [In this battle, you told no one.] [Alone with a sword, you left no one alive in that entire Foreign Race lair...] [This battle lasted for a full three months!] [There were cultivators who saw the stars falling from the sky, witnessing apocalyptic scenes unfolding on the Foreign Race frontline...] [In that battle, the Foreign Race had hidden their strength, owning two beings comparable to the initial Profound Immortal in that base!] [Yet you fought two against one, without showing weakness, and ultimately annihilated all the Foreign Race in that lair at the cost of a severed arm!] [The arm you lost, under the effects of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, completely recovered in just a day...] [After this battle, your reputation became even more renowned!] [As a True Immortal, you demonstrated combat power far surpassing an ordinary Profound Immortal...] [You climbed to the 78th place on the list of distinguished figures...] [Taking advantage of your fame, you recruited more Loose Cultivators into the Tianyuan Army to jointly resist the Foreign Race.] [A few years later, you prepared peacefully to leave the Little Qingyun Realm, but before leaving, you decided to further advance your swordsmanship.] [In the 80th year, in Heavenly Demon City...] Back in the real world, Su Xing muttered: "Using immersive simulation, with a duration of 70 years!" [Ding, successful use of immersive simulation, duration 70 years, costing 25,500 points energy, remaining Origin Energy Source 8,538,895 points...] As the simulation notification sound faded, Su Xing''s consciousness entered the simulated world. When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he was already at the frontline of Heavenly Demon City. The entire Heavenly Demon City was engulfed in an austere atmosphere. Su Xing arrived at the city walls of Heavenly Demon City, looking silently at the distant battle lines, his heart unknowable. Soon, a silver-robed young general appeared behind him, handing over a Jade Slip, saying: "General, this is the current intelligence on the Foreign Race above the True Immortal Realm on the frontline..." After hearing this, Su Xing slightly nodded and said lightly, "I see..." Su Xing quickly read through the Jade Slip, learning how terrifying the current strength of the Foreign Race on the battlefield was! Just this single Jade Slip recorded that there were over a hundred Foreign Race Deities above the True Gods! Even the level-three Divine Residences were not less than ten! These Foreign Race Deities were all part of the Red-eyed Foreign Race! Reviving with the power of the Red Moon... "However... these Foreign Race Deities are just sufficient for me to refine my swordsmanship!" Su Xing murmured. Ever since the sword lesson from Sword Immortal Baidi, Su Xing''s understanding of Sword Dao had rapidly improved! Originally, Su Xing could only be considered as having just entered the Third Realm of Sword Dao... But now, Su Xing is not far from the Fourth Realm of Sword Dao! What Su Xing lacks now is an opportunity to break into the Fourth Realm! Therefore, Su Xing plans to breakthrough to the Fourth Realm of Sword Dao quickly through battles on the front lines... combined with Enlightenment Tea. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thinking this way, Su Xing put away the intelligence Jade Slip in his hand and disappeared above Heavenly Demon City. In the following ten years. All the deities of the Foreign Race on the battlefield witnessed a figure resembling a nightmare! With just one sword strike, that person left the entire front line of the Heavenly Demon City gasping for air. In just ten short years, nearly a thousand deities of the Foreign Race died at the hands of Su Xing! Among them, no less than fifty were True Gods, including more than three Tier III Divine Residences! That day, inside a city at the front line of Heavenly Demon City, Su Xing was closing his eyes in meditation, with constantly fluctuating Sword Intent around his body. After a while, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, only one final step away from the Fourth Realm of Sword Dao!" "The accumulation of my foundation is already sufficient... just need a little more time, and I can smoothly breakthrough to the Fourth Realm!" Thinking this, Su Xing glanced at the latest intelligence he had received, preparing to slay another Tier III Divine Residence and make a final sprint towards the Fourth Realm of Sword Dao! However, at this moment, a painful sensation kept pulsing at Su Xing''s brow. His talent for seeking fortune and avoiding disaster sent a warning! Su Xing frowned and muttered to himself with a sense of foreboding, "What''s going on... this uneasy feeling, it seems like a terrifying being has set its sights on me!" After pondering for a moment, Su Xing quickly realized. Probably due to the ten-plus years of assaults on the Foreign Race, they have become wary of him. The Foreign Race probably couldn''t stand by anymore and thus aimed to carry out a targeted assassination against Su Xing. In fact, such targeted assassinations had occurred two or three times in the past few years. But with enemies of ordinary Profound Immortal Realm strength, it was merely sending Su Xing easy prey, he barely felt any danger. However, this time it was different, Su Xing estimated that the being attempting to kill him this time had at least the strength of a Golden Immortal! "No, I can''t just sit here and wait for death!" "It seems that the action to slay the deities of the Foreign Race must be put aside temporarily... I must first escape back into Heavenly Demon City!" Thinking this way, Su Xing no longer hesitated, ready to flee back to the Heavenly Demon City tens of thousands of miles away. Tens of thousands of miles, with Su Xing''s speed, if he gave it his all, he could successfully escape within a quarter of an hour. But just as Su Xing made a move, he felt an extraordinarily terrifying presence locking onto him from behind. "It''s a Golden Immortal!" Su Xing''s expression grew stern, no longer concealing himself, hurriedly used the Earth-Soaring Divine Light Divine Skills, rushing towards the direction of Heavenly Demon City. But Su Xing didn''t expect that this Golden Immortal also excelled in speed! Su Xing frantically fled for his life, but the distance between them continued to close. Finally, when he was about a hundred thousand miles from Heavenly Demon City, Su Xing was still caught up by that Golden Immortal! This Golden Immortal, dressed in a black robe, with an indistinct face. But just from this attire, Su Xing knew this person''s identity. High-ranking officer of the Descending Sect! With Golden Immortal strength! His codename... probably among the top ten! "No... with my current strength, I''m far from being an opponent of a Golden Immortal!" Su Xing''s expression was calm, yet somewhat troubled inside. Although his strength among the Profound Immortals was already outstanding, there was still an insurmountable chasm between him and a Golden Immortal! In a flash, the Golden Immortal before him made a move! Without a moment''s hesitation, Su Xing propelled his physical body to its utmost limit, with 4,200 Body-Protecting Sword Auras firmly protecting around him. A terrifying black light was seen heading towards Su Xing''s face. That black light, as if possessing endless swallowing power. Su Xing''s 4,200 Body-Protecting Sword Auras, were all destroyed in an instant... Chapter 1056 - 376: Su Xing at the Brink of Life and Death, the Grudges of the Previous Generation In an instant, Su Xing felt as if he suffered a serious injury. His entire body was swiftly engulfed by the dark energy. This made Su Xing feel his mana become extremely chaotic. This sensation reminded Su Xing of the time when he battled the Damned Zong. This divine skill was extremely similar to Damned Zong''s, only its power was much greater! At this moment, Su Xing only felt pain all over his body, the dark energy greatly suppressed the healing ability of his physical body. Had it not been for his possession of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, he might have lost his combat prowess in an instant! Currently still maintaining his rationale, Su Xing rapidly retreated hundreds of miles, with the Ink Ice Sword appearing under his feet, fleeing towards Heavenly Demon City. "Humph, where do you think you''re escaping to?" Behind him, the cultivator of Descending Sect relentlessly pursued, about to catch up to Su Xing in the next instant. In this life-and-death situation, Su Xing''s heart was unexpectedly calm, not feeling much fear. "Alas, this simulation went too far... Without the combat power of a Golden Immortal, my life and death are not in my own hands..." Su Xing gently shook his head, not fearing, but feeling a bit remorseful for wasting a simulation opportunity. The realization brought about by immersive simulation could have allowed Su Xing to smoothly enter the Fourth Layer of Sword Dao... But now he would have to wait until the next time... Perceiving the Descending Sect cultivator who was now an inch away, Su Xing was about to perish in the next instant. ... However, in the nick of time, the expression of the Evil Cultivator drastically changed, and without thinking, he retreated a hundred miles in panic, transforming into a streak of black light, sprinting in the direction away from Heavenly Demon City. Su Xing felt puzzled. He was clearly about to die in one second, so why would the Evil Cultivator give up such a great opportunity? In the next instant, Su Xing found the answer. A cold snort sounded in the air, saying: "Just a Golden Immortal Evil Cultivator, also wants to kill an Elder of Heavenly Demon Prison? Wishful thinking!" As the voice faded, Su Xing saw a black giant axe coming from the horizon, as if it had the power to split the world. That giant axe reached thousands of miles away in an instant, directly chopping at the Evil Cultivator. Su Xing seemed to hear a muffled grunt in the air - the Golden Immortal Evil Cultivator immediately suffered serious injuries, yet dared not resist. Once again, he desperately stimulated his secret technique, escaping tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, barely escaping his doom. The life-threatening crisis was instantly resolved, and Su Xing''s tightly wound nerves started relaxing, lying on the ground breathing heavily. Just then, Su Xing perceived a figure rapidly approaching. Taking a closer look, Su Xing sighed with relief. "Lord Heavenly Demon General, thanks a lot!" The man appearing before Su Xing, clad in black armor and several meters tall, had an indiscernible face. But the black giant axe in his hand and the blood-soaked aura all over his body could make anyone shiver with just one look. The Heavenly Demon General''s expression was serene, thoroughly inspecting Su Xing for a moment before suddenly speaking: "The Body Refining Technique you practice, is it the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision?" After hearing this, Su Xing momentarily froze, not expecting that the fluctuations during his recent battle had still been noticed by this Heavenly Demon General! Since the disappearance of the Witch Clan, this cultivation technique became closely associated with the Luo Tian Sect. And Su Xing really did not want others to know about his connection with the Luo Tian Sect. After all, as Luo Qingniu personally mentioned, Luo Tian Sect had made too many enemies in the past. But now, the Heavenly Demon General had already discovered this fact, making it impossible for Su Xing to hide it. Moreover, Su Xing had heard that there seemed to be an unknown past between the Heavenly Demon General and the Ancestor Master Luotian. After hesitating for a long while, Su Xing still gritted his teeth and said: "Reporting to the Lord, the cultivation technique I practice... indeed is the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision!" With these words, Su Xing was somewhat resigned. He didn''t know the past stories and could only gamble on the stance of this Heavenly Demon General. Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After hearing Su Xing''s affirmative reply, the Heavenly Demon General was silent for a long while, saying: "It seems you are indeed the heir of Luo Tian Sect in this mortal world..." "Unexpectedly, after tens of thousands of years... that lineage still has descendants surviving..." The Heavenly Demon General looked at Su Xing, seemingly recalling a certain figure in his mind. He then cast a layer of Prohibition around and erased the traces of the previous battle before speaking: "Child, the matters involved with the Luo Tian Legacy are too significant... you must know, once discovered, even some Daluo Golden Immortals would take action against you!" "You are indeed fortunate that it was I who discovered you... If it had been someone else, not only would the legacy be hard to safeguard, your life might not have survived as well!" Pausing for a moment, the Heavenly Demon General deeply examined Su Xing, saying: "If on a later occasion you find the opportunity, seek my true self in Heavenly Demon Prison... There are some matters I need to inform you about, and I have a few items for you..." "The past generation''s grievances should also come to an end..." Having said that, the cloned figure of the Heavenly Demon General waved a hand, disappearing from the spot. Su Xing''s vision shifted and he reappeared inside a cave dwelling in Heavenly Demon City. ... Half a year later, Spirit Field Cave. Su Xing sat cross-legged under an ancient tree, body soaked in a pool of Spiritual Liquid, feeling the last of his injuries finally heal completely, and let out a long sigh. "Phew, my injuries from that battle... have finally recovered completely!" "The combat power of a Golden Immortal... frightening indeed!" Su Xing sighed, if the enemy were a Profound Immortal, no matter how strong, Su Xing would still have had some power to fight back. But the gap between him and a Golden Immortal... was still too big! Golden Immortals, with a lifespan of a million years! Prolonging through ages, their foundations unimaginable. "But, the initial implication from the Heavenly Demon General was..." Chapter 1057 - 376: Su Xing at the Brink of Life and Death, the Grudges of the Previous Generation_2 Su Xing''s mind recalled the scene where the Heavenly Demon General saved him. Ever since the Heavenly Demon General saved him, the two had no further contact. It seemed that the Heavenly Demon General had some taboos... But Su Xing clearly remembered what the Heavenly Demon General said, to go to the Heavenly Demon Prison to seek him. "The Heavenly Demon Prison! That''s a place even farther than the Heavenly Secrets Domain..." "With my current strength, it''s not enough to go... Perhaps only after reaching the Profound Immortal or even Golden Immortal can I make the journey." Su Xing had some doubts in his heart. What exactly happened to the Luo Tian Sect back then, and what does the Luo Tian Legacy truly mean? Perhaps, after Su Xing meets the true self of the Heavenly Demon General, he will get the complete answer. Su Xing rubbed his forehead and muttered: "I''m finally one step closer to uncovering the truth..." "At the same time, there''s another place I must visit!" "However, before that, I must advance my Cultivation Level as quickly as possible to unravel all the perplexities of the past..." Su Xing took a deep breath and decisively sipped some Enlightenment Tea. "Right now, my Sword Dao cultivation must step into the Fourth Realm as soon as possible!" ... With the support of the Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing felt the Sword Intent surging in him and began to comprehend the Sword Dao. In the blink of an eye, three years passed. In the 95th year of the simulation, inside the Spirit Field Cave. Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a look of satisfaction on his face: "I''ve finally stepped into the Fourth Realm of Sword Intent!" With a thought, the Sword Intent in Su Xing''s body clamored to be released, the sharpness of this Sword Intent far more formidable than before! If Su Xing''s Sword Dao foundation was previously like a mountain in its solidity. Now, that mountain had grown into Mount Tai, with the potential to dwarf all other mountains! "Fourth Realm of the Sword Dao, finally achieved!" "At this moment, calling myself a Sword Immortal of this era would not be an overstatement!" The Fourth Realm of the Sword Dao, that is the domain that Golden Immortals can comprehend! Or rather, it''s only after reaching the Fourth Realm that one can strive for and break through to the Golden Immortal level... Of course, many Golden Immortals who have cultivated for years have a Dao Comprehension far beyond just the Fourth Realm. Currently, the Fourth Realm of the Great Dao that Su Xing has mastered includes: Sword Dao, Dao of Space, Dao of Speed, and the Path of Causality and Destiny! These five Dao, endow Su Xing with the ability to fight across higher levels! Although his Cultivation Level is only in the late stage of True Immortal, he possesses the strength of the Peak of Profound Immortal! "After stepping into the Fourth Realm of the Sword Dao, I still need further practice in cultivating my Body-Protecting Sword Aura and refining my swordsmanship to fully unleash the power of the Fourth Realm..." Su Xing murmured. There are about fifty-five years left in this immersive simulation. Su Xing does not intend to waste these fifty-five years. Besides strengthening the Sword Dao, the Dao of the Five Elements also needs certain enhancement! "I possess the Five Elements Holy Body... I''m not far from reaching the Fourth Realm of the Dao of the Five Elements... I hope to break through both in this simulation!" The Body-Protecting Sword Aura and the Dao of the Five Elements are currently Su Xing''s strongest combat techniques. Should both experience breakthroughs, Su Xing''s overall strength will certainly take another leap! "Once both of these Dao have broken through, can I challenge a Golden Immortal?" Su Xing wondered. But he promptly shook his head. The gap between him and a Golden Immortal was still too great... From the previous battle, it seemed that even if Su Xing''s Sword Dao and Dao of the Five Elements both stepped into the Fourth Realm, it might still be difficult to combat a Golden Immortal. However, after stepping into the Fourth Realm of both Sword Dao and Dao of the Five Elements, Su Xing wouldn''t claim to be invincible in the world, but he could certainly be counted among the top ranks of Profound Immortals. "There''s still time... It''s time to go to the Nine Heavens Domain to comprehend the Great Dao!" Su Xing said and immediately set out. Taking advantage of the relatively stable situation in the Heavenly Demon City, Su Xing set off for the Nine Heavens Domain. ... In the 96th year of the simulation, Su Xing successfully reached the Nine Heavens Domain. Spending half a year, Su Xing barely entered The Fifth Layer of Heaven. Arriving at the previously mentioned secret island within The Fifth Layer of Heaven where the Witch Clan resided, Su Xing drew them out for a grand battle. In the end, Su Xing paid some price to successfully slay his opponent. After all was done, Su Xing began his cultivation practice in The Fifth Layer of Heaven. Each time he entered the Immersive Simulation, Su Xing had three cups of Enlightenment Tea. Each cup of Enlightenment Tea had the effect of eighteen years. With the first cup of Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing practiced his previous Sword Dao. This allowed Su Xing''s Sword Dao to smoothly progress into the Fourth Realm. In the second cup of Enlightenment Tea''s eighteen years, Su Xing stayed in the secret realm of The Fifth Layer of Heaven, comprehending the Dao of the Five Elements. Eighteen years of arduous cultivation, coupled with the quadruple bonus of being a Late Bloomer. Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It''s comparable to three thousand years of comprehension! This brought Su Xing''s comprehension of the Dao of the Five Elements to just a step away from the Fourth Realm! On the 120th year of the simulation, Su Xing felt the abundant Five Elements Dao Comprehension within his body, and he took a long breath and said: "This session of comprehension has gone exceptionally well... Now let''s officially challenge the Fourth Realm of the Great Dao!" Having said that, Su Xing did not hesitate to consume the last cup of Enlightenment Tea. ... Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed. Su Xing drank a total of six sips of Enlightenment Tea, and after utilizing most of the effect of this cup, he nodded with satisfaction: "Finally, the Dao of the Five Elements has also stepped into the Fourth Realm! My overall strength has improved much more than before!" A thought crossed Su Xing''s mind, and a whirl of immortal power appeared in his hand. This was exactly Su Xing''s signature Divine Skill, Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique! In the past, Su Xing''s Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique was so powerful that he had difficulty controlling it and even risked injuring himself. But now, the stability of the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique had greatly increased! If Su Xing wished, he could even let the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique selectively strike targets within a certain range, without harming the innocent. Besides that... With a thought, Su Xing produced a green immortal power vortex in his hand, and murmured while looking at the wooden immortal power vortex: "The Dao of the Five Elements, endlessly generating... the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique is not necessarily only for killing... it can also be used for healing!" Su Xing looked at this vibrant Immortal Burst Technique in his hand, as long as he injected it into the target. Even if the target was gravely ill, they could quickly recover with the help of this Immortal Burst Technique! "The Dao of the Five Elements... truly is a top-notch Great Dao!" "Refining this path to a profound realm, it''s not only aggressive but also capable of defense... with the immortal power continuously generating within the body! Extremely suitable for prolonged battles..." Su Xing increasingly appreciated the benefits of the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique. After some thorough exploration, Su Xing murmured: "After stepping into the Fourth Realm of the Dao of the Five Elements, it seems that the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique can be further studied... and skillfully mastered." "Taking advantage of the last effects of the Enlightenment Tea which have not yet been exhausted... let''s use it to comprehend the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique!" "As for the Body-Protecting Sword Aura... it can wait to be practiced in the next simulation." Thinking so, Su Xing began cultivating the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique. ... In a blink of an eye, several more years have passed. The 140th year of the simulation, and there were still a little more than ten years before the end of Su Xing''s immersion. Su Xing began some preparations. Firstly, was the crafting of the Wen Dao Pill. As Su Xing repeatedly crafted, his pill crafting skills continually improved. This time, Su Xing crafted nine Wen Dao Pills, all successful, with four being extraordinary pills! The four extraordinary Wen Dao Pills, combined with the Late Bloomer advantage, could save Su Xing nearly one thousand six hundred years of comprehension! And with the five regular Wen Dao Pills, they were equivalent to a thousand years of comprehension... Su Xing could additionally comprehend for more than three thousand years in total. "Phew, if all nine Wen Dao Pills were extraordinary, it would amount to three thousand six hundred years of comprehension... almost equivalent to the effect of one cup of Enlightenment Tea!" Su Xing nodded with satisfaction, but he did not intend to consume these Wen Dao Pills. Instead, he planned to reserve them for after the comprehension for the Spirit Domain. Currently, the range of Su Xing''s Spirit Domain had yet to reach two thousand Zhang. Su Xing''s goal this time, aside from improving his cultivation level, was to make significant progress in the Spirit Domain as well! "There''s also one opportunity for an inevitable epiphany that can be reserved for comprehending the Spirit Domain..." Su Xing thought so. "Since there are still ten years left in the Immersive Simulation, it''s time to retrieve the Luo Tian Sect''s inheritances scattered across the lands... to ensure the needs of the Tianyuan Army afterwards..." With that thought in mind, Su Xing prepared to leave the Nine Heavens Domain. Chapter 1058 - 377: Heavenly Demon City Broken, Heavenly Demon General Makes a Move! After leaving the Nine Heavens Domain, Su Xing spent over a decade exploring dozens of legacy sites of the Luo Tian Sect within the Qingyun Realm. After taking a large amount of legacy, Su Xing returned to the Little Qingyun Realm. At this moment, the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm became chaotic again... In the Heavenly Demon City of the Little Qingyun Realm, Su Xing read the intelligence before him, his expression gradually turning solemn. After a long while, Su Xing slightly closed his eyes and frowned, saying: "This offensive by the Foreign Race is truly unprecedentedly terrifying!" The intelligence showed that out of 3,600 Human Clan strongholds in front of the Heavenly Demon City, more than half had been invaded. The number of the Red-eyed Foreign Race was unprecedented, and the Human Race could almost only defend their cities. At this moment, it''s only about the 150th year in the simulation. Logically, at this point in previous simulations, the Human Race would still hold an absolute advantage. Only as the Red-eyed Foreign Race''s strength gradually increased did the Human Race start to lose its positions... But this time, the overall strength of the Red-eyed Foreign Race had risen by almost more than three levels! On the frontline battlefield, True Gods of the Foreign Race could be seen everywhere, possibly numbering in the hundreds! There were even dozens of level three Divine Residence Foreign Races, matching the Human Clan''s Profound Immortals! What does having dozens of Profound Immortals imply? Even the second largest sect in the Qingyun Realm, the Tianyuan Sect, accumulated only a little over a hundred Profound Immortals in a million years. Each Profound Immortal is a precious combat power for the Human Clan! Yet such terrifying power, the Foreign Race side could actually directly bring out dozens! And moreover... their number is still increasing! "Hisss where exactly do these Red-eyed Foreign Races come from?" "What exactly is the true capability of the Red Moon? Is it immortality... a path of slaughter, summoning these endless Red-eyed Foreign Races?" Su Xing pondered continuously in his heart. Dozens of level three Divine Residences, even for Su Xing, are a terrifying existence. If Su Xing were to encounter them, he could only flee immediately, with no possibility of resistance. Not to mention what a tremendous shock it would be for the ordinary Human Clan Cultivator. "This time, because of my influence... the Tianyuan Army has already recruited quite a few Loose Cultivators, and also two or three Profound Immortals..." Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "But this is already the limit... It''s not easy to continue recruiting high-realm cultivators..." "But just these few Profound Immortals, compared to the force of the Red-eyed Foreign Race side... are still far too inadequate!" "To put it bluntly, if the Foreign Race spares no expense in a full-force attack... the Little Qingyun Realm simply cannot hold!" Pausing for a moment, Su Xing looked in a certain direction within the city. "Now, the only hope is for the Heavenly Demon General to act!" "But, if the Heavenly Demon General acts... the Foreign Race will certainly not sit idly by, the main body of the Red Moon may not appear, but the Descending Sect will definitely intervene!" Su Xing knew in his heart, to completely annihilate the Red-eyed Foreign Race, he must thoroughly eradicate the main body of the Red Moon. But the Red Moon is not a fool, its main body has always been well hidden, except for the best opportunity on the Blue Star, there is now no way to find it... "Things are becoming tricky indeed!" Su Xing said with a stern face. ... Soon, the immersive simulation ended. Inside the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and, after using the Art and Technique of Memory, his sealed memories gradually unlocked. Massaging his eyebrow, Su Xing said wearily: "I didn''t expect that this choice... would cause such a huge change!" "Like a butterfly stirring a tornado... Pull one hair and move the whole body, just saving Luo Shuying provokes major moves by the Foreign Race..." After a moment of silence, a determined look flashed in Su Xing''s eyes. Luo Shuying could not be left unsaved! If not saved, the unease in Su Xing''s heart would never be overcome! As for the consequences, Su Xing alone would bear them! "Cultivation Level Strength! In the end, it''s all about these two points!" "Must improve strength quickly... prepare thoroughly before the butterfly effect completely erupts!" "Next... it''s a race against time!" The time left for Su Xing was not much... One year to live or die, all depends on this time! Thinking so, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the simulation panel. [In the 150th year, the situation in the Heavenly Demon City falls into turmoil...] [The frontline battle situation suffers frequent defeats... the Foreign Race''s major invasion makes the cultivators of the Little Qingyun Realm in panic...] [At this critical moment, you return to the Heavenly Demon City... countless Loose Cultivators begin to watch, wanting to see if the former Sword Immortal, a war god, can reverse the dire situation...] [But, before you return to the frontline of the Heavenly Demon City, you did not initiate widespread slaughter of the Foreign Race immediately, only coordinating with the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon City, commanding the Tianyuan Army to defend...] [The previous assassination attempt still fresh in mind.] [You know that the Foreign Race will surely have targeted assassination against you... once you go deep into the frontline for beheading operations, you will definitely be targeted by those with Golden Immortal strength.] [Therefore, you intend to adopt a defensive strategy, foster strength through battle... and improve the Cultivation Level quickly!] [You command the Tianyuan Army, killing the Foreign Race on the frontline, simultaneously collecting their Flesh Essence, and bring these Flesh Essence into the Luo Tian Mirror.] [In the Luo Tian Realm, former Alchemists of the Luo Tian Sect help you concoct Rebirth Pills...] [You spend a certain amount of Mana, bringing these Rebirth Pills back to the real world.] [Thus, achieving the purpose of fostering strength through battle.] [Quickly, ten years pass...] [In the 160th year, during these ten years, the Foreign Race continues to intensify the invasion, but the strength of the Tianyuan Army also grows unceasingly!] [In just ten short years, the Tianyuan Army gains hundreds more cultivators with the Human Immortal Physique!] [In the past, the Foreign Race enhanced their strength by devouring Human Clan Cultivators... Human Clan Cultivators become weaker as they fight.] Chapter 1059 - 377 Heavenly Demon City Breaks, Heavenly Demon General Strikes!_2 [But now, because of your existence, the Human Race can also use war to foster war, with their strength quickly improving!] [Thus, a delicate balance was reached, and the frontline battle situation could barely be maintained.] [You, in this situation, practice Zhengyi Submission Decision, striving to improve your Cultivation Level.] [In the one hundred and eightieth year, your Cultivation Level smoothly advanced to the mid-stage of the Seventh Layer of True Immortal.] [Each breakthrough of minor bottlenecks, strengthened your Mana increasingly.] [In the two hundredth year, the Foreign Race organized a total attack on Heavenly Demon City.] [In this battle, the Tianyuan Army performed excellently, with nearly a thousand Cultivators, comparable to Immortals, taking action and firmly blocking the Foreign Race''s offensive on the frontline.] [You, on the other hand, acted as bait, luring the strong warriors of the Foreign Race.] [Eventually, a Heavenly Demon General alone slew more than ten Third Level Divine Residence of the Foreign Race!] [After this battle, the Foreign Race''s offensive slightly weakened, giving Heavenly Demon City a chance to breathe...] [But you know, this is only temporary; you still don''t understand the details of Red Moon, and how many Red-eyed Foreign Race there truly are remains a question...] [After this battle, however, your ranking on the list of outstanding youths rose, placing you sixty-third on the Earth List...] In the real world, Su Xing read this without any sigh of relief. "With the Rebirth Pill, the Tianyuan Army will indeed become stronger..." "But, it might only serve as a delaying tactic..." "How strong is the Foreign Race really? Just one God of Red Moon has such significant power... what about the entire Foreign Race?" The more Su Xing thought about it, the graver his expression became. "However, I still have time... In one year, how far can my Cultivation Level grow?" Su Xing actually had no certainty in his heart. While a True Immortal, it was already so difficult for Su Xing to enhance his Cultivation Level. What''s more, the realm of Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal? "Right now, the situation in the simulation still needs to be clearly understood... Only then can I make sufficient preparations in reality!" Su Xing had a faint premonition that reality and simulation seemed to be continuously merging. As time passed, that calamity seemed not far from reality... He turned his gaze back to the Simulation Panel. [In the two hundred and fortieth year, your Cultivation Level smoothly advanced to the late stage of the Seventh Layer of True Immortal...] [Over forty years, the frontline battle situation in Heavenly Demon City remained tense... Although new recruits kept joining the Tianyuan Army, the overall strength of Heavenly Demon City was on the decline...] [However, the strength of the Foreign Race kept increasing!] [You have a premonition that if this continues, Little Qingyun Realm might not last a hundred years...] [By the two hundred and fiftieth year, the range of your Spirit Domain has smoothly grown to twenty-five hundred Zhang...] [Apart from the improvement in Qi Refining Cultivation, the expansion of Spirit Domain provided you stronger means against opponents.] [Every ten years, you would consume a Wen Dao Pill, then slowly digest the enlightenment from Wen Dao Pill, making swift progress in Spirit Domain.] [By the two hundred and seventieth year, you finished consuming the last Wen Dao Pill, growing your Spirit Domain to twenty-eight hundred Zhang in that year!] [By the two hundred and ninetieth year, you used up the inevitable epiphany opportunity and dedicated all your effort to comprehending the Spirit Domain.] [Afterward, you spent ten years absorbing the growth of Spirit Domain.] [By the three hundredth year, your range in Spirit Domain, had grown to three thousand three hundred Zhang...] [At this moment, your Spirit Domain could finally be considered to have reached a Minor Achievement Realm...] In the real world, Su Xing read this and nodded slightly, saying contentedly: "Not bad, the growth speed of the Spirit Domain is even faster than I imagined!" "I heard that a ten-thousand Zhang Spirit Domain is considered a Great Achievement in Spirit Domain... and above Spirit Domain, there seems to be even higher levels..." Su Xing had a premonition that Spirit Domain was far from as simple as he thought. In the past, the founding master of Luo Tian Sect could dominate the Three Thousand Worlds with Spirit Domain alone, exactly proving the power of Spirit Domain! Today, if Su Xing wanted to reach the peak among the Three Thousand in the future, he too must put great effort into Spirit Domain. "Three thousand three hundred Zhang in Spirit Domain... For now, it''s also sufficient." "This time simulating the future without Wen Dao Pill, relying solely on myself, I probably won''t improve much; the focus still has to be on enhancing Qi Refining Cultivation..." With this thought, Su Xing''s gaze turned towards the Simulation Panel.

[In the three hundred and thirtieth year, your Cultivation Level smoothly reached the Peak of the Seventh Layer of a True Immortal.] [You began to prepare for a breakthrough...] [However, the heavens are unpredictable... that year, the Foreign Race launched a total assault on Heavenly Demon City!] [This attack came so suddenly that Heavenly Demon City was barely prepared.] [One might say that the Foreign Race went all out...] [Countless Red-eyed Foreign Race, turned into black spots on the horizon, over a thousand True Gods of the Foreign Race... dozens of Third Level Divine Residences, all of which made your heart tremble with fear.] [You wielded the Ink Ice Sword, constantly fighting on the front lines... the terrifying murderous intent made your close guards dare not come near.] [The Ink Ice Sword in your hand emitted bursts of light humming, the refreshing coolness helping you regain your composure.] [With each raising and dropping of your sword, using only the simplest of Sword Moves and Sword Intent, every strike assured the death of a God of the Foreign Race.] [Just like that, you fought tirelessly for an entire month...] [However, the power of one person, after all, is not enough...] [When you came back to your senses, the Tianyuan Army that followed behind you had already been crushed, leaving only a few dozen close guards barely able to keep up with your pace...] [On the battlefield, the corpses of the Foreign Race piled up like mountains, their stinking blood pooling into a Great River in front of Heavenly Demon City...] [Looking at this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, you were only stunned for a moment before continuing to lead your close guards back into the fray.] [This battle lasted for a full three years!] [Six hundred thousand of the Tianyuan Army fought until less than two hundred thousand remained... and more than eighty percent of the cultivators in Heavenly Demon City had fallen!] [With the situation as it was, you knew... Heavenly Demon City could no longer be defended.] [Thus, you began preparation to relocate the battlefield.] [In the three hundred and thirty-third year, you took a month''s time to visit the Star Realm and successfully reached an agreement with the cultivators of the Star Realm.] [Should the Foreign Race continue their aggressive attack, the future main battlefield would be moved from Little Qingyun Realm to the Star Realm.] [After doing all this, you continued to fight in Heavenly Demon City.] [In the midst of continuous battle, your swordsmanship and Body Refinement Cultivation Level rapidly improved...] [In the three hundred and thirty-fifth year, finally, Heavenly Demon City fell!] [At that moment, a horrifying aura targeted you; it was a Second Level Divine Residence of the Foreign Race, boasting strength comparable to a Golden Immortal!] [You barely managed to fend it off for a moment, severely injured and only able to retreat while fighting.] [Just at the brink of death, a black giant axe streaked across from the horizon, as if cleaving through the barriers of the world.] [This axe strike directly ended the life of that Divine Residence of the Foreign Race!] [A Second Level Divine Residence of the Foreign Race, comparable to a Golden Immortal, perished!] [Following the direction from which the giant axe came, you saw a Heavenly Demon General clad in black armor, appearing like a god or demon!] [With each swing of his axe, a Divine Residence of the Foreign Race fell dead!] [At this moment, you realized the formidable might of the Daluo Golden Immortal!] [Although he was merely a Divinity Transformation, possessing only the Cultivation Level of a Golden Immortal... yet, he was far beyond any ordinary Golden Immortal''s comparison!] [As Heavenly Demon City fell, in the most critical moment, the Heavenly Demon General had finally taken action!] [Within moments, more than ten Divine Residences of the Foreign Race perished by his hands.] [Just when you thought the Heavenly Demon General would turn the tides... several figures appeared on the battlefield!] [Six beings, each with strength comparable to Golden Immortals!] [Three Evil Cultivators from the Descending Sect... three Second Level Divine Residences from the Foreign Race!] [Among them, there was a figure you were very familiar with, the very officer from Descending Sect who once pursued you...] [At this moment, his eyes carried a brutal smirk, six Golden Immortal level powers striking at the Heavenly Demon General together!] [If facing ordinary Golden Immortals, this Divinity Transformation of the Heavenly Demon General might still have a chance...] [However, among these six Golden Immortal forces, two exuded an aura clearly comparable to Taiyi.] [In such a situation... the Heavenly Demon General showed not the slightest fear!] [He tossed his giant axe, bellowing loudly...] [In the next instant, the Physical Body of the Heavenly Demon General grew increasingly larger in your sight...] Chapter 1065 - 379: The Five Qis Within the Chest, Crisis Crumbles! [8k for Monthly Votes] After over fifty years of preparation, the strength of the Tianyuan Army could no longer be underestimated. Furthermore, with the significant resources you''ve spent over the years recruiting Loose Cultivators of the Human Race, the Foreign Race struggled to gain much advantage on the battlefield. As for you, just like before, beyond slaying members of the Foreign Race, you worked hard to enhance your Cultivation Level. In the eightieth year, your Cultivation Level smoothly advanced to the late phase of the True Immortal Nine Layers... You began to ponder the preparations needed to break through into the Profound Immortal Realm. Back in the real world, Su Xing slightly nodded as he saw this. "Cultivation Level, it has finally reached the late phase of True Immortal Nine Layers... Then, the Perfection of True Immortal is not far off!" "Next, it''s time to consider condensing the Five Qis in my chest..." Su Xing''s mind flashed through the information about breaking through from True Immortal to Profound Immortal. According to the normal sequence, to advance from True Immortal to Profound Immortal, one needs Dao Comprehension of one Great Dao to reach the Fourth Realm. This, Su Xing had already accomplished. But there''s an even more important point, which is to condense the Five Qis in the chest! Only by perfectly condensing the Five Qis, can one take a big stride into the Profound Immortal Realm in a single effort! To break through from Profound Immortal to Golden Immortal, one needs to condense the Three Flowers atop the head... "The Five Qis in the chest... correspond to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneysthe five viscera." "And the five viscera correspond to the powers of the Five Elements respectively, with the heart belonging to fire, the liver to wood, the spleen to earth, the lungs to metal, kidney to water...so they correspond one-to-one with the powers of the Five Elements." "Therefore, the condensation of the Five Qis in the chest is, in essence, a sublimation of the five elemental immortal powers within the body..." "Only by condensing the Five Qis, can the immortal power smoothly reach the Realm of Profound Immortal! Its Mana power will be greatly increased... with infinite wondrous uses!" After a pause, a hint of anticipation flashed in Su Xing''s eyes: "With the Five Qis condensed in the chest and the Three Flowers gathered atop the head, the Great Dao is within reach!" Condensing the Five Qis in the chest requires a certain amount of time, sensing the heavens and the earth, allowing the Five Qis to comply one by one and reach Fullness, to achieve the Five Qi to the Yuan, attaining Profound Immortal! This step won''t be achieved overnight. For an ordinary True Immortal, it might take ten thousand years or even more time to condense the Five Qis. However, for Su Xing, this process would be much quicker. Setting aside the blessing of his Talent as a Great Talent Maturing Late, Su Xing''s body possesses the Five Elements Holy Body, and with sufficient Dao of the Five Elements Comprehension, the speed of condensing the Five Qis in his chest is far beyond that of ordinary Cultivators. "In this simulation, try to condense one or two additional Qis as much as possible... to lay the foundation for later!" "However, for now, I shall continue with the Immersive Simulation to enhance Dao Comprehension!" Su Xing silently recited: "Using Immersive Simulation, continued for 70 years..." [Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation continued for 70 years, spending 25,500 Points, with a remaining Origin Energy Source of 7,463,393 Points.] Following the prompt sound, Su Xing''s consciousness entered into the Simulated World. When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he had arrived within Heavenly Demon City. Presently, the situation in Heavenly Demon City was relatively stable, so Su Xing proceeded to the Nine Heavens Domain, ready to continue his comprehension of the Great Dao. ... Years later, in the Secret Realms of the Fifth Layer of Heaven. Su Xing contemplated as he looked at the Enlightenment Tea in front of him, saying thoughtfully: "Nowadays, I''ve come to possess more and more resources for Comprehension..." "Three cups of Enlightenment Tea can last for fifty-four years, and with Talent enhancement... it could match nearly ten thousand years of comprehension." "Add on the Wen Dao Pill, and the innate talent for sudden enlightenment... Each Immersive Simulation yields almost fifteen thousand years of additional comprehension!" "This is the greatest advantage of Immersive Simulations!" "Even if I don''t have enough energy to bring out Cultivation Level in the future... these comprehensions must not be wasted!" Su Xing calculated the types of comprehension he urgently needed to enhance. Sword Dao has smoothly entered the Fourth Realm, but his Body-Protecting Sword Aura is still not perfected; this is worth consuming Enlightenment Tea for. In addition, Su Xing''s Great Dao of Thunder still remains in the Third Realm, and his Dao of Strength is only in the Second Realm. Su Xing also needs to enhance these two Daos. After making a decision in his heart, Su Xing began his practice. Taking out the corresponding Dao Essence treasures, Su Xing began to comprehend the Great Dao. ... In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed. After the effects of the first cup of Enlightenment Tea were exhausted, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "Body-Protecting Sword Aura... The further one goes, the harder it is to comprehend indeed!" "It took a full twenty years, with the enhancement of Enlightenment Tea... to finally cultivate four thousand nine hundred Body-Protecting Sword Auras!" "This move, can probably be regarded as my strongest offensive technique now!" Satisfied, Su Xing nodded and estimated his own strength in his heart. Body-Protecting Sword Aura, both offensive and defensive. Previously, Su Xing only had four thousand two hundred Body-Protecting Sword Auras, but now he has four thousand nine hundred. Although only an additional seven hundred or so, the power of this Divine Skill has increased dramatically! Without exaggeration, the power of Su Xing''s Body-Protecting Sword Aura has increased by more than double! "Four thousand nine hundred Body-Protecting Sword Auras... Coupled with the Spirit Domain, most likely, no ordinary Profound Immortal would be able to breach it!" "In this case, I am truly invincible among the Profound Immortals!" "As for Golden Immortals..." Su Xing paused and shook his head. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Having had one or two encounters with Golden Immortals, Su Xing knew just how vast the gap between Golden Immortal and Profound Immortal was. Perhaps, when Su Xing condenses the Five Qis in his chest and steps into the Profound Immortal Realm, plus one Dao successfully advancing into the Fifth Realm, only then can he contend against a Golden Immortal. "A Golden Immortal who has condensed the Three Flowers atop the head, the true powerhouses of the Three Thousand Worlds..." A glint of hope flashed through Su Xing''s heart. "But for now, I shall still enhance my Dao Comprehension..." Without hesitation, Su Xing took out several Dao Essence treasures for the Great Dao of Thunder and started to comprehend. ... In the cultivation journey time flies, the Immersive Simulation ends. Back in the real world, Su Xing regained his senses, feeling his comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder.

"Looking at it this way, the next immersive simulation should let me smoothly step into the Fourth Realm!" Su Xing still had nine Wen Dao Pills unused, which were intended for cultivating the Spirit Domain. "Then, in this simulation, prioritizing the enhancement of my Cultivation Level to the Great Perfection of a True Immortal... and then figuring out a way to condense the Five Qis in my chest!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze shifted towards the simulation panel. [In the hundred and fiftieth year, the seventy years of continuous contemplation have ended, and your understanding of the Great Dao leaps forward.] [You decide to stay in the Nine Heavens Domain until your Cultivation Level reaches the Great Perfection of a True Immortal before departing.] [As such, you continue your stable cultivation.] [In the two hundredth year, your Cultivation Level successfully breaks through, reaching the Ninefold Peak of a True Immortal.] [You start preparing to break through to the Great Perfection of a True Immortal.] [With the help of sufficient Spiritual Liquid, you spend thirty years and finally successfully break through to the Great Perfection of a True Immortal!] [In the two hundred and thirtieth year, after a successful breakthrough, you plan to return and check on the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm.] [After spending several years, you return to the Little Qingyun Realm.] [At this point, the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm is perilous; the entire frontline of Heavenly Demon City is in chaos, with the Tianyuan Army suffering heavy casualties.] [Even the incarnation of the Heavenly Demon General is preparing to perish together with the Foreign Race...] [With your strength alone, it''s hard to change the fate of the Little Qingyun Realm.] [Thus, after disclosing the information to the Heavenly Demon General, you prepare to leave the Little Qingyun Realm and start traveling in the Qingyun Realm.] [You travel from the Little Qingyun Realm towards the Southern Sea Realm.] [After spending more than twenty years, you finally arrive at the Southern Sea Realm.] [During these twenty years, you collect resources left by Luo Tian Sect while accumulating your foundation in preparation to condense the Five Qis in your chest.] [In the two hundred and fiftieth year, outside the Southern Sea Realm, you prepare to attempt condensing the first of the Five Qis in your chest.] Back in the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. "Finally, having reached the peak of a True Immortal... it''s time to try condensing the Five Qis in my chest!" "The Five Qis of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth in the chest, each condensation is an enhancement to the immortal power!" "The Qi of Kidney Water corresponds with the body''s balance; condensing this qi, the flow of immortal power in the body becomes like water, making the use of Divine Arts more enduring and smoother... significantly reducing the time needed to utilize Divine Arts." "The Qi of Heart Fire corresponds with supreme destructive power, allowing the strength of the body''s immortal power to further ascend a level." "The Qi of Liver Wood corresponds with the recovery of Mana... condensing this qi, the Mana becomes inexhaustible, greatly increasing the speed of Mana recovery!" "The Qi of Spleen Earth corresponds with the richness of Mana; if successfully condensed, the amount of Mana in the body will multiply several times over!" "The Qi of Lung Metal corresponds with the sharpness of Mana, complementing the power of Heart Fire, further enhancing the power of Arts and Divine Skills!" Su Xing''s mind flashed through the different effects of the Five Qis in his chest, hesitating as to which one he should condense first. "To smoothly pass through the Endless Sea Domain and reach Heavenly Secrets Realm, what''s needed is the richness and recovery speed of Mana within the body!" "Only by leaving the Qingyun Realm can I simulate for a longer time..." "Therefore, the Qi of Liver Wood and Spleen Earth should be condensed first!" Su Xing quickly made a decision in his heart. First, condense the Qi of Spleen Earth, making sure the Mana inside the body is sufficiently rich! "Condensing the Five Qis in the chest requires respective Heaven and Earth Treasures... For the Qi of Spleen Earth, it''s Earth attribute treasures and Heaven and Earth Treasures that amplify Mana..." "I obtained sculptures and the Five Elements Earth in the Yellow Sand Realm before, which are just right!" Su Xing''s lips curved upward, he had many Heaven and Earth Treasures that could save him the time of finding and buying these resources. "Then next, I''ll put all my effort into condensing the Qi of Spleen Earth!" Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze shifted towards the simulation panel. [In the two hundred and fifty-first year, you enter the Luo Tian Realm and in the Scripture Pavilion of Luo Tian Sect, you find many insights on condensing the Five Qis in the chest.] [After digesting all these ancient texts, you return to the Southern Sea Realm, and with the help of the treasures obtained previously, start to condense the Qi of Spleen Earth.] [The condensation of the Five Qis in the chest requires a long time to accumulate the foundation.] [Even with your outstanding talent and sufficient resources, you still need to put in painstaking effort...] [In the blink of an eye, more than fifty years passed.] [In the three-hundredth year, after decades of effort, you finally make progress with condensing the Qi of Spleen Earth.] [Although you haven''t successfully condensed it, the spleen in your body has gradually transformed, and the Mana inside is more than five times thicker than before!] [The process of condensing the Five Qis in the chest is like experiencing the Wind Catastrophe, where one''s Cultivation Level and strength continuously improve during Tribulation Crossing.] [But the bad news is, this year, you receive news of the Little Qingyun Realm''s destruction!] [The Foreign Race is unstoppable, annihilating the entire Little Qingyun Realm, and the Heavenly Demon General''s incarnation perishes in battle.] [Upon knowing this news, you silently sigh in your heart.] [The situation evolves just as you anticipated... next, the Foreign Race will gradually begin to invade the entire Qingyun Realm.] [But no matter how tense the external situation is, you still need to continue your cultivation.] [Fortunately, the Southern Sea Realm is relatively remote, and the Foreign Race''s invasion is not too severe, so you can still focus on your cultivation.] [Like so, another fifty years go by...] [In the three-hundred-and-fiftieth year, your Spirit Domain further expands, reaching four thousand three hundred zhang.] [In the four-hundredth year, you continue condensing the Five Qis in your chest, and the Mana inside your body is now many times that of the initial Perfection Realm of a True Immortal.] Chapter 1067 - 379: Five Qis in the Chest, Crisis Crumbles! [8k for Monthly Pass]_3 [The immortal power filling your spleen greatly enhances the might of your arts and techniques.] [According to your calculations, in at most a century, you should be able to successfully condense the energy of spleen earth...] In the real world, Su Xing slightly nodded. "Not bad, this simulation not only broke through to the Great Perfection of True Immortal... but even condensed one of the Five Qis within my chest, significant progress indeed!" According to what Su Xing knew, an ordinary True Immortal at Perfection would typically need about three thousand years to condense one of the Five Qis. Yet Su Xing''s pace far surpassed that of other cultivators at his level, perhaps due to the blessing of the Five Elements Holy Body. "I wonder if this simulation could successfully condense the energy of spleen earth before five hundred years are up... If possible, I might attempt to cross the Endless Sea Domain once more, and it would be far safer than before!" "If possible, I might be able to avoid Qing Yunzi''s pursuit..." After pondering for a moment, Su Xing''s gaze shifted to the Simulation Panel. [You continue to condense the energy of spleen earth while staying in the Southern Sea Realm, keeping a watchful eye on the situation in the Little Qingyun Realm.] [In the blink of an eye, another sixty years have passed.] [In the 460th year, after falling numerous Minor Thousand Worlds near the Little Qingyun Realm, the immensely powerful Star Realm also completely succumbs!] [The Qingyun Sect still has made no declaration, and you understand that Qing Yunzi might no longer be able to suppress the Evil Corpse.] [Hence, you hastened the pace of condensing the energy of spleen earth.] [In the blink of an eye, another twenty years have passed!] [In the 480th year, on a pleasant sunny afternoon, you are blessed by fortune and successfully condense the energy of spleen earth!] [At this moment, you feel a subtle connection between the spleen in your body and the Qi sea in your Dantian.] [Your body''s mana, compared to when you were at True Immortal Perfection, has grown more than threefold!] [At this moment, the rich mana within you is even mightier than that of many Profound Immortals...] [The enhancement of strength and the increasingly profound mana give you confidence.] [You know that in twenty years, Qing Yunzi will pursue and try to kill you.] [Thus, you prepare to enter the Endless Sea Domain...] In the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath upon reading this. "Phew, finally managed to condense the energy of spleen earth successfully..." "Previously, crossing the Endless Sea Domain was extremely perilous... but this time the safety should be greatly improved!" "The Dao of Space, as well as the realm of speed, have both successfully entered the Fourth Realm... My escape speed is faster, my mana is richer... I wonder if I can cross the Endless Sea Domain within fifty years this time!" Su Xing was curious about the changes in the Heavenly Secrets Domain at present. According to the intelligence obtained previously in the simulation, the Heavenly Secrets Domain was facing a crisis at this moment. The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master had not appeared, but fortunately, with Emperor Bai present, the domain was, generally speaking, much safer than the Qingyun Realm. "I wonder how the Bai Family Siblings are doing now?" S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Xing felt some nostalgia and wondered how the fate of the siblings would unfold without his interference? As he thought this, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel. [In the 480th year, you board the Star-Moon Shuttle and begin to traverse the Endless Sea Domain...] [The first half of the journey goes extremely smoothly, with you steering the Star-Moon Shuttle and making quick progress.] [In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.] [In the 490th year, you reach the first Void Node, and after killing the Profound Immortal Void Beast there, you enter the Void Node.] [In the 515th year, you reach the second Void Node and smoothly pass through...] [At this moment, you get ever closer to the Heavenly Secrets Domain, the Endless Sea Domain shielding you from Qing Yunzi''s search.] [More than thirty years of void travel have somewhat disordered your mana compared to before.] [But fortunately, after condensing the energy of spleen earth, your mana became much more profound, thus nowhere near as downtrodden as before.] [In the 520th year, you reach the last Void Node and after triumphantly slaying that Void Beast, the Heavenly Secrets Domain is only a few years away in terms of travel distance.] [In the 522nd year, you encounter that Void Beast which almost killed you before, and this time effortlessly slay it.] [In the 525th year, after a grueling forty-five-year journey, you finally traverse the entire Endless Sea Domain and successfully arrive in the Heavenly Secrets Domain!] [You recall the map of the Heavenly Secrets Domain in your mind, verifying that the Baiyun Realm should not be far from here.] [Thus, you head towards the vicinity of the Baiyun Realm.] [However... the once vast Baiyun Realm has long been laid to waste by the Foreign Race!] [Including the Baiyun Realm, dozens of surrounding Minor Thousand Worlds... all have been devoured and occupied by the Foreign Race.] [You sigh to yourself, it seems this situation has not changed, in fact, without your presence, the Foreign Race''s invasion has accelerated.] [Curious about the whereabouts of the Bai Family Siblings, you perform a few divinations.] [The divination reveals that Bai Xiaoxiao has died... while Bai Yutang is still alive.] In the real world, Su Xing sighed upon reading this. "Bai Xiaoxiao, after all her talent was limited... without my assistance, her path of cultivation was doomed to be short, and her death in battle given the invasion by the Foreign Race is to be expected." "As for Bai Yutang, he must have had his Inborn Unique Meridian discovered. I wonder where he is now?" Su Xing was inclined to rekindle the connection, but alas, the timing of his arrival in the Heavenly Secrets Realm was not right. If it were around three hundred years ago when Su Xing reached the Heavenly Secrets Domain, he might have continued entering the Heavenly Secret Pavilion as an external Elder, enjoying resources and accelerating his cultivation. "Nevertheless, I might try now... to see if I can cultivate safely in the Heavenly Secrets Domain?" "After all, there is no Qing Yunzi in the Heavenly Secrets Domain, so I should be able to live a bit longer, shouldn''t I?" Thinking this, Su Xing''s gaze returned to the Simulation Panel.

Su Xing cannot fathom it, since he possesses the Fortune Talent, he should not be this unlucky. Unless...the invasion by the Foreign Race is not without a pattern, but rather there is an existence among the Foreign Race that has set its sights on Su Xing! The first thing Su Xing thinks of is the Red Moon! "So, has the Red Moon targeted me?" "No, that''s not right...the main body of the Red Moon should be in the Qingyun Realm, there''s no way it could extend its influence to the Heavenly Secrets Domain!" "The most likely possibility...must be the Descending Sect!" Su Xing rubs his forehead; the Descending Sect probably knows about his identity, including inheriting the Luo Tian Legacy. Otherwise, they wouldn''t hunt down Su Xing so relentlessly. "But...the invasion by the Foreign Race is becoming more and more severe in the Three Thousand Worlds!" "If you are a Loose Cultivator without the backing of a power, even with a True Immortal Cultivation Level, there would still be certain dangers...even a Profound Immortal would not dare claim to have full self-protection!" Su Xing increasingly feels the horror; the invasion of the Foreign Race is indeed a tremendous blow to the cultivators of the Three Thousand Worlds. "Alas, it''s a pity, the liver Wood Qi...was not successfully gathered." "However, in the next simulation, I should be able to gather two or three more of the Five Qis within my chest... With that, I shouldn''t be far from the Profound Immortal Realm!" Su Xing looks forward to this, his gaze shifting to the rewards of this simulation. [Fortune Divine Body]: Gold Talent, priced at 10 Origin Energy Source points. [Half-Step Profound Immortal Realm]: Cultivation Level reaching Perfect True Immortal, gathering the Five Qis in the chest, currently gathered Spleen Earth Qi, liver Wood Qi nearing success, if able to successfully gather the Five Qi to enter the Yuan Realm, one can smoothly step into the Profound Immortal Realm.

"Sss~ Just to gather a little more than one of the Five Qis in the chest, it needs an extra 700,000 Origin Energy Source points?" Su Xing is startled. According to estimates, from the ninth level of True Immortal to Perfect, it requires 300,000 Origin Energy Source points. This additional 700,000 is necessary for gathering the Five Qis in the chest. "Alas, but this increase in cultivation level is necessary...once I get to the Descending Sect''s Treasure Vault, the coordinator will definitely be back!" Chapter 1069 - 379: Five Qis in the Chest, Crisis Crumbles! [8k for Monthly Tickets] _5 Su Xing did not hesitate and silently recited: "I choose to bring out Half-Step Profound Immortal Realm Cultivation Level and the cultivation achievements from the Spirit Domain..." [You have successfully brought out cultivation achievements from the Spirit Domain, spending 150,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving 7,313,393 points of Origin Energy Source...] [You have successfully brought out Half-Step Profound Immortal Realm Cultivation Level, spending 1,000,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving 6,313,393 points of Origin Energy Source...] As the simulation tone sounded, Su Xing felt two mysterious powers surge into his body. The range of Su Xing''s Spirit Domain expanded dramatically from 3,500 feet to 5,000 feet! Halfway there to the 10,000 feet of Spirit Domain! Furthermore, the biggest change was in Su Xing''s Cultivation Level! He advanced directly from the Ninth Layer of the True Immortal Realm to the Half-Step Profound Immortal Realm. Especially since he had consolidated the Qi of the Earth Spleen, Su Xing''s internal Mana had become more than three times denser than before! Su Xing''s heart stirred, and he executed several Dao Arts. His internal Mana suffered some depletion, but in just an instant, the consumed Mana had already recovered. "Tsk tsk... this Mana recovery, it''s as if I''m perpetually buffed for battle!" Su Xing smacked his lips, no wonder those mighty cultivators could fight for decades, even hundreds of years... It''s because the Mana recovery speed is too fast! It''s practically inexhaustible! "Tsk tsk, this is still without fully consolidating the Wood Qi of the Liver... If it''s fully consolidated, reaching the Five Qi to the Yuan Realm, my Mana recovery would be even more terrifying!" Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. After the simulation ended, Su Xing still had one simulation opportunity left. However, Su Xing chose not to simulate immediately. "Right now, I need to go rescue Luo Shuying first!" Su Xing silently recited, and with a thought, his Divine Sense locked onto the figure in the Spiritual Ancestral Land. Taking a few steps, Su Xing covered a distance of a hundred thousand miles in just a few breaths, arriving at the Spiritual Ancestral Land. ... At the Spiritual Ancestral Land, the Dragon Protector who was chasing Luo Shuying halted, watching Su Xing warily, surprised, he asked: S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Who are you?" Su Xing didn''t speak much, not giving the Damned Dragon a chance to resist, a powerful Divine Soul force directly obliterated the Damned Dragon''s Divine Soul! In just an instant, the Damned Dragon stood motionless, but had already lost his soul essence, turning into a living dead! Watching the opposition-less Damned Dragon in front of him, Su Xing felt somewhat emotional for a moment. "There was a time... when this Dragon Protector was an existence I couldn''t match..." "And now, he''s nothing but an ant!" With a wave of his hand, the physical body of the Damned Dragon was collected into the Spirit Field Cave. Directly erasing the consciousness of the Divine Soul, though dead, his physical body remained intact. This way, it would be simpler for Su Xing to refine the Damned Dragon into a Puppet in the future. After killing the Damned Dragon, Su Xing followed the method from the simulation, transmitting a message to Luo Shuying. Moments later, Luo Shuying appeared in front of Su Xing. Looking at the beautiful woman he hadn''t seen for many days, Su Xing felt slightly emotional. "These days... have been hard on you!" After informing Luo Shuying about the general situation, Luo Shuying silently paused, then suddenly asked: "Senior, can I... stay by your side in the future?" Su Xing instinctively wanted to refuse. But after a second thought, since he had turned the Damned Dragon into a Puppet, he practically controlled the entire Blue Star Descending Sect. It seemed that Luo Shuying didn''t need to remain undercover anymore. So, Su Xing nodded and said: "You can... since that''s the case, stay in the Great Xia Capital from now on and do some tasks for me!" Hearing Su Xing''s agreement, a long-lost smile appeared on Luo Shuying''s austere face... ... One day later, in the Great Xia Capital. Within a villa. Jin Congxue looked at Luo Shuying in front of her, her expression showing wariness, and she asked Su Xing: "Su Xing, who is this?" Seeing Jin Congxue''s expression, Su Xing immediately felt things were amiss. If he were exposed now, the future interactions between the two women might be problematic... Thus, Su Xing said: "Cough cough, she is a member within the organization, previously always undercover outdoors. Now that her undercover mission is over, she has no place to stay... from now on, she will live in the villa and handle some miscellaneous matters for you, okay?" Thinking it over, Su Xing added: "By the way, her name is Luo Shuying... her strength is around the mid-legendary level..." Jin Congxue initially wanted to say something else, but upon hearing Luo Shuying''s strength, her face momentarily changed, and she quickly paid her respects: "Senior Luo, please advise me more in the future..." Luo Shuying, being of a cold nature, merely nodded slightly without saying much. Seeing that the two women got along reasonably well, Su Xing quickly breathed a sigh of relief. After returning to his school dormitory, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Cave. Taking out the corpse of the Dragon Protector, Su Xing murmured: "Next, it''s time to successfully make this corpse into a Puppet!" "The Dragon Clan''s physical body... is indeed a rare material!"
