Chapter 215: An Adventure, Energy Earnings of Forty Small Goals! (5k, Please Subscribe!)
[Year 21, your divine sense finally reached its peak at 200,000 zhang, unable to progress further.]
[You understood that to further enhance your divine sense, you would have to break through to the Unity Stage.]
[So, you started to slow down your pace, attempting to decipher the inscription of the miniature spirit gathering array every day.]
[Year 22, you accumulated the benefits of a half-month of Great Wisdom state and prepared to learn several basic immortal cultivation secret techniques.]
In the real world, Su Xing woke up and nodded slightly, muttering:
"Use the immersive simulation, lasting for seven days!"
[Ding, congratulations on using the immersive simulation function, lasting 168 hours, remaining energy 129,530,000 points.]
As the simulator's prompt fell, Su Xing's vision shifted, and his consciousness immersed itself within the simulator.
At this moment, two jade slips appeared in Su Xing's hands.
They were the Blood Burning Technique and the Flicker Finger Technique!
"Blood Burning Technique and Flicker Finger Technique… they are both relatively basic techniques, but they are also among the most useful in Old Zong's legacy!"
Su Xing muttered.
Among them, the Blood Burning Technique, was to burn one's own essence blood, thus achieving a short-term increase in combat power!
The magnitude of the increase depended on the amount of essence blood burned.
If cultivated to the Great Perfection realm, if Su Xing used the Blood Burning Technique to burn one-third of his essence blood, he might be able to maintain a five-minute period where he could fight two to three small realms higher without falling behind!
For example, a Unity Stage Level 1 fighting a Unity Stage Level 3!
Of course, this was based on the calculations for ordinary cultivators. Su Xing had a solid foundation, so after learning the Blood Burning Technique, in a short period of time, fighting Unity Stage mid to late-stage cultivators evenly would not be a problem.
"This Blood Burning Technique is just an ordinary cultivation enhancement technique… if you could obtain a more profound technique, the effect would definitely be better!"
Su Xing thought.
The Blood Burning Technique, burning one-third of essence blood was already the limit… any more, and there was a risk of immediate death.
Moreover, after burning essence blood, cultivation would be impaired for several years, and it would require healing and recovery.
In the real world, unless it was a crucial moment, Su Xing would not easily use it.
But during simulation, it was different. If Su Xing learned the Blood Burning Technique, he could completely use it when the simulation was about to end, thus maximizing his cultivation level!
"And this Flicker Finger Technique… although it is only a rudimentary spell, using spiritual energy to flick with a finger, it's good for clearing out some Martial Emperor, Legendary-level miscellaneous fish!"
Su Xing thought so, and then began to diligently cultivate the two techniques.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and the immersive simulation time ended.
In the real world, only a few breaths of time had passed.
When Su Xing's consciousness returned to the real world, there was a satisfied look on his face.
"Not bad, in just one week, I have cultivated the Blood Burning Technique to Great Perfection, and the Flicker Finger Technique is also perfected!"
Among them, Su Xing perfected the Flicker Finger Technique in just one day.
The Blood Burning Technique was slightly more difficult, and it took Su Xing about six days to cultivate it to Great Perfection.
Su Xing secretly estimated that if he continued to cultivate the Blood Burning Technique to Great Perfection, it would probably take another three to five days.
"Under the Great Wisdom state's bonus, my daily cultivation is equivalent to three or even more days of cultivation for ordinary people…"
"Based on this calculation, under normal circumstances, it takes about a month to cultivate the Blood Burning Technique to perfection, and the Flicker Finger Technique only takes a mere three days…"
Su Xing was very satisfied with this.
Sure enough, a higher cultivation level is good!
High-level cultivators have a higher level of comprehension of soul, spiritual energy, and the power of heaven and earth, making it easy to cultivate some rudimentary spells.
If it was an immortal realm cultivation, it might be possible to learn just by glancing at it.
What Su Xing currently lacked were these basic immortal cultivation techniques!
"On average, spending a few hundred million to tens of millions of energy to learn a technique to Great Perfection is acceptable!"
Su Xing muttered.
He naturally would not choose to cultivate in reality, because using this time to refine pills, exchange for simulation energy, and then carry out immersive simulation was obviously more cost-effective!
"It will probably take about three more days, so let's finish cultivating the Blood Burning Technique to the Great Perfection realm in one go!"
Su Xing muttered.
"Use the immersive simulation function, lasting 72 hours."
[Ding, congratulations on using the immersive simulation function, lasting 72 hours, remaining energy 122,330,000 points.]
Soon, the immersive simulation time ended…
Su Xing's consciousness returned to the real world, and at this time, he had also cultivated the Blood Burning Technique to the Great Perfection level!
"Not bad, the basic goals of this simulation have been basically achieved… now, only the last small goal remains!"
Su Xing prepared to give it a try, to gain insight into the limit of his power!
And Su Xing's current limit of power was merely the power of speed origin obtained from cultivating the Earth Sword.
If he could gain some more insight into the power origin, according to Luo Ying, it would be of great benefit when comprehending the Dao laws in the future!
"Perhaps going back to the Limit Zone once more could allow me to try and comprehend the limit of power!?"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you cultivated two basic techniques, after which you practiced the inscription of the miniature spirit gathering array on a daily basis.]
[And so, another three years passed.]
[Year 25, in the past few years, you have killed at least thousands of spirit carps.]
[And your understanding of the inscription of the miniature spirit gathering array is still just a superficial grasp.]
[You understand that this is not because of the insufficiency of your previous array formation cultivation, but because you have never been exposed to talisman techniques. If you want to arrange the miniature spirit gathering array, you need to continue to study talisman techniques.]
[You secretly felt pity, and decided to take advantage of the remaining time to go to the Immortal Martial Era dungeon again.]
[Year 26, in the Immortal Martial Era dungeon, you collected information about the three True Immortals from a thousand years ago.]
[Hoping to find out the location of the ruins where the last Fire Control True Immortal was sleeping.]
[But after searching hard for two years, you found nothing.]
[Year 28, you returned to the real world and quietly waited for the final giant beast to arrive.]
[One day, a sky-covering giant beast descended, swallowing the entire Xia Dynasty.]
[You activated your protective qi, protecting yourself, and entered the giant beast's stomach space.]
[You struggled to maintain your stability, watching as everything around you slowly dissipated…]
[You entered the depths of the giant beast's stomach space and saw the thunder zones.]
[You took a deep breath and stepped into a small thunder zone.]
[With your current strength, this small thunder zone could hardly break through your protective qi.]
[So, while maintaining your defense, you observed the changes in the thunder in the sky.]
Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.
That's right, the way Su Xing could currently think of to comprehend the limit of power was to observe thunder.
After all, all the thunder in this space contained some thunder Dao laws.
And the thunder Dao laws contained the origins of extreme speed and extreme power.
What better way to comprehend than to observe it up close?
"However, the thunder zone in the giant beast's stomach space has a short formation time. At most, in half a month, all the thunder zones will probably dissipate…"
"I must, during this time, observe as much of the origin power as possible!"
Su Xing didn't expect to directly comprehend the Thunder Dao, just gaining more insight into the origins of extreme power would suffice.
Thinking this, Su Xing continued to look at the simulation panel.
[In the thunder zone, you observed the thunder in the sky, trying to find traces of the Thunder Dao.]
[You observed for a quarter of an hour, without any discovery…]
[And so, this thunder zone slowly dissipated, and you moved to another thunder zone to continue observing.]
[Even with the blessing of the Great Wisdom state, your comprehension greatly increased, but comprehending the origin of extreme power was still incredibly difficult, and you didn't gain any insight into the origin of power.]
[In the next few hours, you observed dozens of small thunder zones.]
[But you didn't gain any understanding of the origin of power.]
[With no choice, you could only go to the medium-sized thunder zones.]
[The thunder here was even more ferocious, and the thunder Dao power it contained was slightly stronger.]
[But at the same time, this thunder posed a considerable threat to you. You had to maintain your protective qi at all times to avoid being injured.]
[Gradually, you seemed to sense the origin of speed from this Thunder Dao…]
[Because you already possessed this origin power, so your sensing of the origin of speed was much clearer.]
[But this wasn't what you were looking for, you continued to try to grasp the origin of power…]
[And so, several more hours passed, you experienced several medium-sized thunder zones, and at the same time, your Yuan Qi was mostly depleted.]
[To ensure your safety, you could only temporarily stop exploring and restore some Yuan Qi and spiritual energy.]
[After recovering, you continued to explore the thunder zones…]
[And so, I don't know how long it took, you vaguely sensed a faint trace of the origin of power in the thunder zone.]
[But you only sensed its existence, you didn't truly comprehend this trace of the origin of power…]
[One day, a spatial turbulence passed by, and you were caught off guard and torn to shreds.]
[Your soul gradually vanished.]
[You died!]
[Ding, the simulation is over!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned slightly.
Sure enough, comprehending the origin power wasn't that easy.
"If an accidental enlightenment was triggered, perhaps it would be possible?"
Su Xing thought so, but the purpose of this simulation was to explore, and failure was within his expectations.
"Forget it, let's see the rewards of this simulation!"
[Array Formation Prodigy]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points.
[Twenty Years of Pill Refining Experience]: After exchange, your existing pill refining comprehension slightly increases, priced at 2 million energy.
[Divine Sense 200,000 Zhang (Micro Realm)]: The beginning of endless divine sense, having broken through the limit of the divine sense of ordinary Void Reversal Stage cultivators, but still has huge potential for growth. Priced at 900 million energy!
[Exotic Metal Ore]: Contains a large amount of energy, priced at 39 billion simulation energy.
[Rudimentary Comprehension of the Origin of Power]: The origin of power, a fundamental component of numerous Dao, after obtaining, slightly increases your understanding of power, priced at 50 million energy.
[Miniature Spirit Gathering Array (Rudimentary Comprehension)]: A special array that combines comprehension of spiritual energy Dao, array formation Dao, and talisman Dao, can be inscribed on the surface of the skin of living beings containing spiritual energy within the body, can significantly improve cultivation speed, and automatically cultivates. Priced at 50 million energy.
In this simulation, Su Xing's goals were clear, so the things he came into contact with weren't that many.
"Hmm, if this transaction with the major trading houses is successful, would I be able to get 3.9 billion energy?"
Su Xing's eyes lit up. With so much energy, it would be enough for Su Xing to break through to the Unity Stage!
"And the comprehension of the Origin of Power and the Miniature Spirit Gathering Array are both just rudimentary… this is not enough!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
"If I want to take out the Array Formation Prodigy and the Divine Sense Comprehension, it would cost a total of 900 million energy…"
"With my current energy, it seems insufficient…"
"It seems I have to make a deal with those few trading houses!"
Su Xing was decisive, and after saying so, he began to disguise himself, conceal his aura, and shield his celestial secrets.
Then Su Xing flew on his sword, heading towards Jinling City.
In Jinling City, Su Xing quickly found the Jin residence of the Jin Trading House. Its grandeur was not inferior to the Bai Li Trading House.
"Jin Cong Xue's great-uncle… from him, I can exchange two Life Extension Pills for 1 billion energy!"
Taking advantage of the night, Su Xing entered the depths of the Jin residence.
Relying on his divine sense, Su Xing quickly found the elderly man who was lying on the bed, weak and dying.
"This guy seems to be nearing the end of his lifespan. He doesn't seem to be able to live for more than a week… luckily I came early!"
Su Xing secretly said in his heart, then quietly entered the room.
"I'm here to make a deal with you!"
Su Xing's voice suddenly appeared in the great-uncle's ear, which startled him.
Then Su Xing used his divine sense pressure to intimidate the man, and said simply and clearly:
"Three thousand tons of second-order exotic metal, two hundred tons of third-order exotic metal… I can extend your life for ten years!"
Su Xing said lightly, two Life Extension Pills containing rich vitality appearing at his fingertips.
The great-uncle's face was initially filled with extreme terror, but after hearing Su Xing's words, he swallowed his saliva and stammered,
"Senior… can you really extend my lifespan?"
His tone was filled with longing!
Su Xing merely nodded, then released his divine sense pressure.
The elderly man quickly sent people to deliver the agreed-upon goods.
With the foundation of this branch leader of the Jin Trading House, these exotic metals were still something he could easily take out.
During this time, Su Xing, relying on his divine sense, once again threatened the Martial Emperor. Seeing that he dared not act,
Su Xing left two Life Extension Pills and left the Jin residence with the storage ring containing the exotic metal.
[Ding, detection of a substance containing a large amount of energy, worth 1 billion energy, do you want to absorb it?]
Su Xing didn't hesitate and directly absorbed the entire ring, converting it into simulation energy. Naturally, it was impossible for him to leave any traces.
After doing all this, Su Xing's energy surged by 1 billion points!
But Su Xing was not satisfied with this. Since he was going to take risks, he might as well get more benefits at once.
So, Su Xing immediately went to the Mingzhu Trading House in Mingzhu City, and then spent two more days traveling to the Daqing Trading House and the Bei Yuan Trading House.
After doing all this, Su Xing hid his tracks all the way, ensuring that no traces were left, before returning to his dormitory at Kyoto University.
He then entered the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
Su Xing's eyes were filled with a slight hint of excitement, looking at the simulation panel.
4,022,330,000 energy points!
This was the total value of Su Xing's current energy!
It directly exceeded the energy he had obtained in any previous simulation.
"With so much energy, I probably won't be able to obtain it so easily for a while… I must properly plan the use of this energy, and must not waste a single bit!"
Su Xing muttered.
At Su Xing's current rate of energy acquisition, he would only get 400 million in a month. These 4 billion energy points would be Su Xing's income for ten months!
If he wasted it, Su Xing might find it difficult to obtain energy so easily again…
"Life-extending treasures are precious because of their rarity… if they appear too often, they won't be so valuable anymore…"
Su Xing muttered.
"Damn it, this time I must resist, I can't use energy to increase the probability of drawing golden-quality lottery again… at least, until I have endless energy, I can't do this!"
He had spent 900 million energy to increase the probability of a golden-quality talent appearing by 9%.
Now, Su Xing regretted it just thinking about it.
"However, if I don't increase it, maybe I wouldn't have drawn the Innate Sword Body talent… is this considered a happy accident?"
In short, this time, Su Xing, at the cost of eight top-grade Life Extension Pills, obtained nearly 4 billion energy points.
It was definitely a lucrative deal… a million times lucrative!
Although there were risks, the risks were acceptable.
And so, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel, muttering:
"I choose to exchange the purple talent Array Formation Prodigy and Divine Sense 200,000 Zhang…"
[Ding, your talent slot is full, do you want to spend 100 million energy to expand it, or spend 1 million energy to replace a talent?]
Su Xing then remembered that his talent slots were full. If he wanted to obtain new talents, he needed to spend additional energy.
"But 100 million energy… seems a bit expensive!"
Su Xing stroked his chin, ready to see if he had any useless talents.
"Unwilling to Die… this thing, although it's a white talent, but having it is better than nothing, I can still get some information…"
"Speaking of which, the talent I currently find most useless is probably Handsome Like Pan An…"
With Su Xing's current immortal cultivator aura and his original appearance, he was already handsome beyond ordinary people.
Handsome Like Pan An didn't seem to give Su Xing much of a bonus anymore…
"I choose to replace the Handsome Like Pan An talent with the Array Formation Prodigy talent…"
[Ding, talent replacement in progress…]
[You successfully obtained the purple talent Array Formation Prodigy, spending 1 million energy, remaining energy 4,020,330,000 points.]
[You successfully obtained Divine Sense 200,000 Zhang (Micro Realm), spending 900 million energy, remaining energy 3,120,330,000 points.]
As the simulator's prompt fell, two mysterious forces quickly entered Su Xing's body.
Su Xing first felt that his understanding of array formation seemed more profound.
Array formation problems that were difficult to solve in the past no longer seemed so difficult. His mind was as if it had suddenly opened up.
"Hiss… sure enough, my previous array formation talent was too poor!"
"With this Array Formation Prodigy, my future understanding of array formation will definitely be much faster!"
(ps: I feel like the pace has been a bit slow recently, it will speed up later…)
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 216: Earth Rank Spiritual Treasure, Spiritual Vein Dragon! Battle Against Wan Mu True Immortal Again! (5k)
Su Xing sighed with emotion.
Before, his talent in the Dao of Array Formation could only be considered mediocre.
But now, with the Array Formation Prodigy, his speed in learning array formations was at least several times faster than before!
"The study of the Miniature Spirit Gathering Array will have to be put on hold for now. The top priority now is to break through to the Unity Stage as soon as possible!"
Su Xing muttered.
And so, in the next few days, Su Xing worked even harder to refine Nourishment Pills.
Soon, four days passed, and Su Xing disguised himself and went to the villa.
Jin Cong Xue was still busy with matters related to the Xia Dynasty military and was not at the villa for the time being.
So Su Xing merely took the new week's goods and returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
New Era 2024, December 2nd, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.
"Start simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 6,400 energy points, remaining energy 3,225,430,000 points, remaining simulation times none.]
[Simulation starts!]
[Spending 100,000 energy points to draw a purple talent, spending 1 million energy points to draw a golden legendary talent, do you want to draw?]
Su Xing thought for a moment and decided to draw a talent again. Even if he didn't draw a golden-quality talent, it would increase the guaranteed probability.
"Draw a golden-quality talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on drawing the purple talent Take It, your next chance of drawing a golden-quality talent is 40%…]
[Take It]: Purple talent, can only be used once on each target. When you say "Take It" to the target, you can secretly steal a random item from the target.
"Sure enough, it's the guaranteed probability again…"
Su Xing was about to sigh, but when he saw the effect of this talent, he was stunned.
"This talent… seems a bit strong!"
"Take It? It's like directly robbing an item from the target! Holy crap!"
Su Xing suddenly thought that if, in a battle, he suddenly snatched away the opponent's weapon or other props, wouldn't his chances of winning greatly increase?
"Tsk tsk… even Sun Wukong couldn't resist Lao Jun's Purple Gold Circle!"
Su Xing muttered.
"But the specific effect of this talent is still unknown… I should carefully assess it before making a decision!"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realized that you are in a simulation.]
[You refined pills for several days and prepared to set off for the Luo Tian Conference dungeon to resolve the doubts in your heart.]
Su Xing saw this and silently said:
"Use the immersive simulation function, lasting 24 hours!"
[Congratulations on using the immersive simulation function, spending 2.4 million energy points, remaining energy 3,222,030,000 points.]
The prompt fell, and Su Xing appeared in the main hall of Luo Tian Sect.
In the last simulation, Su Xing still had some unanswered questions, namely about the spiritual dragon.
Su Xing's understanding of the spiritual dragon was limited to some descriptions in books, and he didn't know much.
But Su Xing's current master, Luo Ying, was a Transcending Tribulation Stage powerhouse, and he must know something about the spiritual dragon.
"Good disciple, go to the back mountain and invite your senior brother…"
Familiar task dialogue came from his ears. Su Xing didn't rush to leave, but asked:
"Master, I would like to ask about the spiritual vein dragon… I have seen this creature in ancient books in the Sutra Pavilion, so I'm curious…"
After hearing Su Xing's words, Luo Ying smiled slightly and said:
"Not bad, curiosity is a good thing… Master does have some understanding of the spiritual vein dragon, I can explain it to you."
Pausing for a moment, Luo Ying continued to explain:
"Spiritual vein dragons only have a probability of being born in top-grade spiritual veins… and the probability of their birth is less than one in ten thousand!"
"Legend has it that the Great Thousand World once had an immortal cultivation organization called the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, which existed for countless eons…"
"The Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion once listed the treasures of the world into a ranking list, divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human ranks…"
"And this spiritual vein dragon is the top of the Earth Rank! The head of all spiritual veins!"
"Legend has it… spiritual vein dragons are born with intelligence and know how to be grateful… but the personalities of each spiritual vein dragon are very different. Some are mature and stable, while others have personalities like mischievous children…"
"Spiritual vein dragons have almost infinite lifespans, even immortals cannot match them. They are truly as old as heaven and earth, and as bright as the sun and moon."
Su Xing raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. This Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion's Heaven, Earth, and Human ranking, and the fact that spiritual vein dragons even had personalities, were things Su Xing had heard for the first time.
Su Xing continued to listen quietly, and Luo Ying slowly continued:
"But all spiritual vein dragons have a common characteristic, they are inherently carefree and love freedom, and they like to exist among various mountain ranges."
"If they feel like it and become sleepy, they might even choose to sleep in one place…"
"Legend has it that if they sleep for several years, that place will give birth to a low-grade spiritual vein… if they sleep for several decades, it can give birth to a middle-grade spiritual vein… if they sleep for several centuries, it can cause a high-grade spiritual vein to appear out of thin air!"
"Spiritual vein dragons are usually honored guests of major sects. Large sects often invite spiritual vein dragons to sleep within their sect for thousands of years, thus giving birth to top-grade spiritual veins!"
"Hehe, our Luo Tian Sect has 128 top-grade spiritual veins, and more than half are left behind by a spiritual vein dragon elder who once lived here…"
"In addition, spiritual vein dragons can also transform pure spiritual energy, cultivate top-grade spirit stones… with countless benefits. Possessing a spiritual vein dragon is equivalent to possessing almost endless cultivation resources!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up after hearing this, his breathing becoming rapid.
Cultivating top-grade spirit stones is like having a treasure vault with endless spirit stones!
So Su Xing asked with some nervousness:
"Then, Master, how do you subdue a spiritual vein dragon?"
After hearing Su Xing's words, Luo Ying shook his head with a smile:
"This kid, you have quite the ambition…"
"In the Three Thousand Worlds, there are only a handful of forces that can possess spiritual vein dragons… none of them are not top-level sects that dominate the Great Thousand World!"
"Even so, these forces don't truly possess a spiritual vein dragon, they merely make a contract with it. The spiritual vein dragon lives within the force, and the force will try its best to meet the demands of the spiritual vein dragon… this is a win-win situation!"
"Take our Luo Tian Sect for example. There was once a master-level figure who made friends with a spiritual vein dragon and made a contract with it. That spiritual vein dragon elder stayed in our Luo Tian Sect for an eon… laying a foundation for our Luo Tian Sect's inheritance for hundreds of thousands of years…"
Pausing for a moment, Luo Ying seemed to have thought of something and added:
"It is extremely difficult for a spiritual vein dragon to recognize a master. If they recognize a master, they will be loyal and devoted…"
"Legend has it that countless eons ago, a powerful immortal saved a young spiritual vein dragon and cultivated feelings with it from a young age… because of this, the spiritual vein dragon would always stay by that cultivator's side…"
Su Xing was initially somewhat disappointed, but after hearing Luo Ying's last few words, his hope was rekindled.
The spiritual vein dragon he encountered in the Wan Mu Sect ruins was a young one, wasn't it?
Moreover, if Su Xing could save that spiritual vein dragon, he could gain the spiritual vein dragon's recognition as a master?
Thinking this… Su Xing was instantly overjoyed.
"Thank you, Master, for explaining!"
Su Xing said excitedly, then went to the back mountain to pick up Shen Nong senior brother.
After that, as usual, Su Xing went to the Sutra Pavilion to read books on common sense in the immortal cultivation world.
Soon, a day passed, and the immersive simulation time ended.
Su Xing's consciousness returned to the real world.
"Spiritual vein dragon… I must obtain it as soon as possible!"
Su Xing's eyes were filled with anticipation.
He was already eager to give it a try.
"If it's with my current strength, combined with the Blood Burning Technique, I might be able to kill Wan Mu True Immortal! After all, he's just… a half-step Unity Stage cultivator…"
Su Xing muttered, looking at the simulation panel.
[After coming out of the Luo Tian Conference dungeon, you stayed in Kyoto for a few more days before meeting Luo Shu Ying as promised.]
[You brought Luo Shu Ying the Soul Calming Pill and successfully joined the Descending Sect.]
[You gained a large number of fanboy disciples…]
[In the next two years, you continued to refine pills within the Descending Sect and tried to further improve your strength.]
[After careful consideration, you decided to cultivate the Spirit Explosion Technique.]
[The power of the Spirit Explosion Technique has reached the level of a Minor Divine Ability, and it is one of the strongest attack techniques in your hands… if it can be cultivated to the Great Perfection level, combined with the Earth Sword, it would be no problem to kill cultivators at a higher level.]
[So you refined pills while studying the Spirit Explosion Technique.]
[Two years passed like this.]
[Year 3, you found that you encountered a huge bottleneck in cultivating the Spirit Explosion Technique to the Great Perfection level, that is, you couldn't inject enough fire spiritual energy into the wood spiritual energy, thus achieving the Five Elements Mutual Generation, further improving the power of the divine ability.]
[So, you decided to study the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique first.]
[In the same year, seeing that the time was ripe, you took Luo Shu Ying and betrayed the Descending Sect.]
[Before betraying the Descending Sect, you slaughtered all the major figures of the Descending Sect.]
[You successfully tricked over 20,000 disciples into joining the Demon Suppression Pass.]
[You provided the Xia Dynasty with many pills and added many strong individuals.]
[Year 4, you began to try cultivating the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique.]
[The more you studied, the more you felt the extraordinary nature of this divine ability technique.]
[This technique can not only enhance the power of Five Elements spells but also neutralize the Five Elements spiritual energy within your body, making the spiritual energy circulate more smoothly and achieve the effect of increasing cultivation speed.]
[Even Five Elements array formations, the production of the Miniature Spirit Gathering Array… can all gain inspiration from this technique.]
[This made you even more determined to cultivate the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique.]
[So, every day, in addition to cultivating this technique… you would also observe the spring thunder on the Awakening of Insects day every year.]
[The thunder on the Awakening of Insects day is the only thunder of the year that contains a trace of the Thunder Dao. Observing it can also yield great benefits.]
[Three years passed slowly like this.]
[Year 7, your comprehension of the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique finally entered the beginner stage, and you could feel the power of this technique.]
[This is not a cultivation technique, but it can perfectly coordinate the Qian Yan Technique and the Everlasting Spring Technique you have cultivated, achieving the effect of wood generating fire and enhancing the speed of cultivation!]
[At the same time, as your research into the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique deepened, you also perceived the opportunity for the Spirit Explosion Technique to reach Great Perfection.]
[But what troubled you was that your comprehension of the Thunder Dao and the limit of power remained stagnant.]
[You knew that to successfully comprehend the origin of power, you might have to rely on enlightenment.]
[But you couldn't control this matter, you could only try again and again, hoping to trigger accidental enlightenment.]
[And so, another three years passed.]
[Year 10, your comprehension of the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique took another step forward, although it didn't reach the Minor Perfection level, it was still very beneficial.]
[In the same year, you went to the Demon Suppression Pass and killed dozens of legendary demonic beasts, shocking the human race.]
[Year 11, Awakening of Insects day, you observed the spring thunder, hoping to comprehend the origin of power, failure.]
[Year 12, you continued to try cultivating the Spirit Explosion Technique, hoping to cultivate it to perfection.]
[And so, you cultivated the Spirit Explosion Technique while comprehending the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique, and another three years passed.]
[Year 15, your cultivation of the Spirit Explosion Technique progressed day by day, only one step away from perfection.]
[Year 16, one day, you were inspired and sensed the wood and fire dual-attribute spiritual energy within your body, gradually comprehending the essence of Five Elements Mutual Generation.]
[Your comprehension of the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique successfully reached the Minor Perfection level!]
[Year 17, with a deeper understanding of the Five Elements spiritual energy, the last bottleneck of the Spirit Explosion Technique reaching Great Perfection was also completely broken.]
[Congratulations, your mastery of the Spirit Explosion Technique has finally reached the Great Perfection level!]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and sighed slightly:
"Sigh, it seems that the Dao of Heaven and Earth… the comprehension of the origin of power is more difficult than I imagined…"
Su Xing's original plan was that as long as he could comprehend the origin of power to the beginner stage, he could bring it out, and it would be easier to comprehend the origin of power in the future.
But in this simulation, Su Xing ultimately failed to trigger accidental enlightenment.
"However, the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique and the Spirit Explosion Technique reaching Great Perfection… are still pretty good!"
"After cultivating the Spirit Explosion Technique to Great Perfection, combined with the Earth Sword's Great Perfection, defeating Wan Mu True Immortal should be no problem…"
Su Xing's eyes held a hint of anticipation.
"However, to be cautious, I can wait two more years…"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[Year 18, enter the Spirit Beast World's Killing Battlefield.]
[Relying on your swordsmanship and the terrifying power of the Spirit Explosion Technique, in just one year, you killed hundreds of legendary demonic beasts.]
[Year 19, you leave the Spirit Beast World and return to Blue Star.]
[You decide to cultivate the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique one last time before challenging Wan Mu True Immortal.]
[And so, another three years passed.]
[Year 21, your comprehension of the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique is still at the Minor Perfection level.]
[You know that if you want to successfully comprehend it to the Minor Perfection level during this simulation, it would be difficult, so you decide to directly challenge Wan Mu True Immortal.]
[With your current strength, you have at least an 80-90% chance of defeating Wan Mu True Immortal. Even if this Wan Mu True Immortal has trump cards, you are confident that you can retreat safely.]
[You go to the Immortal Martial Era dungeon and collect three fragments of jade.]
[You successfully enter the Wan Mu Sect ruins.]
[You walk through the long tomb passage and encounter the living corpse puppet.]
[You strike out with your sword, successfully killing the living corpse puppet.]
[You arrive at the core area of the Wan Mu Sect ruins.]
[You unravel the array formation in the core area of the ruins and enter it.]
[You sense the rich spiritual energy in the air and see the spiritual fields.]
[You see the spiritual dragon trapped in the array formation, and the bronze stone coffin.]
[To avoid the aftermath of the battle destroying the medicinal herbs in these spiritual fields, you transplant all the medicinal herbs in the spiritual fields into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.]
[Then, you try to move the puppets into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.]
[These puppets seem to lack intelligence and only know how to cultivate the land.]
[Then, you return to the core of the ruins and look at the spiritual dragon before you.]
**[Looking at the spiritual dragon trapped in the array, with black qi swirling around it,
...and letting out mournful cries, you feel compassion.]
[After careful consideration, you try to break the array formation and rescue the spiritual dragon.]
[But you spend several days studying it and find that the array formation is quite extraordinary. With your current array formation knowledge, you can't directly unravel it.]
[So, with no choice, you can only decide to break through with brute force!]
[You take a deep breath, sink your Qi into your dantian, exert force from your waist, your arms wrapped in Yuan Qi… then, tens of millions of tons of force explode outward!]
[With one blow, the array formation trapping the spiritual dragon instantly begins to shatter layer by layer.]
[Seeing this, you nod slightly, and then follow up with another punch, finally shattering the array formation completely!]
[After the array formation is shattered, the spiritual vein dragon, which is more than a zhang long, escapes, a hint of excitement flashing in its eyes.]
[It lets out a series of mournful cries, then runs towards the entrance of the tomb without looking back, not even glancing at you.]
[You are instantly stunned. Why did the spiritual dragon's gratitude scene vanish?]
[Before you have time to think about it, you are about to chase after the spiritual vein dragon.]
[But at this moment, the bronze coffin behind you begins to vibrate, and a long, ancient, angry voice comes from it.]
[Who is it? Disturbing my slumber… How dare you ruin my great plan!]
[Seeing Wan Mu True Immortal awaken, you have a look of solemnity in your eyes.]
[Your protective qi and Yuan Qi armor instantly condense. One hand holds the Ink Ice Sword, the other starts to slowly form a spiritual energy vortex.]
[The scene of Wan Mu True Immortal instantly killing you is still fresh in your mind.]
[But you are no longer the mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator you were back then. With your current strength, this Wan Mu True Immortal might not be your opponent.]
[The lid of the bronze stone coffin is blown off, and a figure of a terrifying young man flies out.]
[His skin is pale, like a living corpse, it is Wan Mu True Immortal!]
[The first thing Wan Mu True Immortal does after waking up is to check the array formation under the stone coffin.]
[When he finds that the array formation is empty, his face changes slightly, and then his divine sense spreads out like a tide.]
[Wan Mu True Immortal quickly senses the spiritual dragon fleeing frantically and his face brightens with joy. He's about to chase after it.]
[At the same time, he also notices your presence.]
[Sensing your aura, he frowns slightly and is about to speak.]
[But you don't give him any time to react, directly launching a Spirit Explosion Technique towards Wan Mu True Immortal!]
[After launching the Spirit Explosion Technique, you activate your protective qi and instantly teleport away. The power of this Spirit Explosion Technique is much stronger than before, and it is very likely to directly destroy the Wan Mu Sect ruins.]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 217: Killing Wanmu Zhenren, the Spiritually Intoxicated Spirit Vein Dragon! (5k)
[You cast Protective Qi and quickly escape.]
[Behind you, a fierce and violent surge of spiritual energy comes, and the entire relic formation is instantly shattered in the explosion of the Spirit Explosion Technique.]
[You run all the way and finally escape from the Wanmu Sect relic, arriving at the Xianwu Era Dungeon.]
[At the entrance of the relic, you look at the violently distorted spatial formation, grip the sword in your hand, and wait for the upcoming battle.]
[Your peripheral vision catches sight of the Spirit Vein Dragon not far away. This young dragon, which has just escaped, is extremely joyful and dances continuously in the air.]
[Soon, a figure emerges from the formation – Wanmu Zhenren!]
[Wanmu Zhenren's clothes are torn, his hair is disheveled, and there's a faint smell of blood on him, clearly having been injured by the Spirit Explosion Technique.]
[Wanmu Zhenren stares blankly at the reddish-black blood flowing from his body, and soon realizes the changes within himself.]
[His emotions become extremely agitated, and he roars like a madman.]
[You see the unwillingness in his heart. He has schemed for thousands of years, yet he has become a living corpse. If he continues to sleep, he will likely lose consciousness completely and become a puppet.]
[You take a deep breath, channel your Yuanli, and launch the first attack on Wanmu Zhenren.]
[Although Wanmu Zhenren is a Void Breaking Realm Grand Completion cultivator, his foundation is far less solid than yours, and his strength is significantly weaker.]
[Within just over ten rounds of their exchange, Wanmu Zhenren's face changes drastically.]
[Your terrifying power is clearly mistaken by Wanmu Zhenren as that of a Primordial Origin Realm cultivator!]
[Facing the retreating Wanmu Zhenren, you press your advantage, each punch and move containing terrifying force.]
[The two of you battle across hundreds of miles, causing mountains to collapse and rivers to dry up in their wake...]
[During the battle, Wanmu Zhenren repeatedly tries to persuade you, saying he is willing to share the Spirit Vein Dragon with you, so that you can both enter the realm of immortals and achieve eternal life!]
[But you scoff at this, knowing that collaborating with a tiger will inevitably lead to disaster. As long as you kill this hypocritical Wanmu Zhenren, you are certain to subdue the Spirit Dragon!]
In the real world, Su Xing wakes up and is instantly delighted.
"Haha, this Wanmu Zhenren, how arrogant he was when I first met him!"
"Now that his strength has declined, he can only negotiate with me…"
Su Xing disdains this, negotiation and compromise are impossible.
"Ridiculous, back then when you were stronger, you killed directly, and I had no power to resist…"
"But now that I'm stronger, it's not excessive for me to kill you directly, is it?"
Su Xing mutters to himself. This Wanmu Zhenren, he must be killed!
With that thought, Su Xing's gaze falls upon the simulation panel.
[Facing Wanmu Zhenren's pleas, you have no hesitation. You raise the Ink Ice Sword, its sword qi surging as you pursue Wanmu Zhenren again.]
[Seeing that his pleas are ineffective, Wanmu Zhenren makes a decisive move, taking out a pill from his storage ring and swallowing it.]
[After consuming the pill, Wanmu Zhenren's aura instantly explodes. His cultivation base, in a short period of time, jumps directly from the Half-Step Unity Stage to the Unity Stage Initial Stage!]
[Having broken through to the Unity Stage, Wanmu Zhenren's gaze towards you turns cold. He then once again channels his spiritual energy and engages you in battle.]
[Seeing the surge in Wanmu Zhenren's strength, you don't underestimate him. Your attacks become more cautious, and you unleash the Spirit Explosion Technique once more.]
[Wanmu Zhenren sees the process of your spellcasting and his eyes flicker. He questions your relationship with Wu Xing Zhenren, and how you came to obtain Wu Xing Zhenren's Five Elements Mutual Generation Art.]
[You simply sneer in response. When you inherited Wu Xing Zhenren's legacy, you decided to kill Wanmu Zhenren, and you will not break your word.]
[And so, the terrifying Spirit Explosion Technique is unleashed towards Wanmu Zhenren.]
[Wanmu Zhenren's pupils constrict upon seeing this. He recognizes the Spirit Explosion Technique as the secret technique that ambushed him before, and naturally doesn't dare to underestimate it.]
[Wanmu Zhenren quickly forms hand seals and casts a spell. Astonishing Wood spiritual energy rapidly gathers.]
[A large number of trees and vines appear before Wanmu Zhenren. These trees and vines grow wildly, quickly forming a terrifyingly strong Wood barrier.]
[This barrier flickers with strange light, firmly protecting Wanmu Zhenren within.]
[Boom! The terrifying wave of the Spirit Explosion Technique's explosion arrives. The vine barrier quickly disintegrates, but in the end, Wanmu Zhenren, protected within, is unharmed.]
[Seeing Wanmu Zhenren successfully block your Spirit Explosion Technique, your expression becomes grave.]
[Wanmu Zhenren truly is the top genius of a thousand years ago. This Wood-based spell is likely also a Divine Ability, and Wanmu Zhenren has cultivated it to an extremely profound level.]
[Coupled with the fact that Wanmu Zhenren consumed a pill to temporarily break through to the Unity Stage, he was able to withstand the Spirit Explosion Technique.]
[The Wood barrier slowly withers, and Wanmu Zhenren steps out from within, a sneer on his face.]
[He expresses, with a hint of arrogance, that you are merely at the Return to Void Stage, with insufficient spiritual energy to sustain the Spirit Gathering Technique, a secret technique that consumes such terrifying amounts of energy, for an extended period.]
[Faced with Wanmu Zhenren's mockery, you calmly take out a bottle of Spirit Liquid and drink half of it, as casually as if it were mineral water.]
[The Spirit Liquid, seeping into the fabric of your clothes, slowly evaporates, causing Wanmu Zhenren to gnash his teeth in anger.]
[He never imagined that you would be so extravagant as to consume Spirit Liquid.]
[You must understand that this is an era of depleted spiritual energy. Even in the height of the cultivation boom, it's rare for someone to waste Spirit Liquid like this.]
[Facing Wanmu Zhenren's breakdown, you simply chuckle. With the Spirit Liquid you have in reserve, you could unleash the Spirit Explosion Technique for days and nights without issue.]
[A greedy look crosses Wanmu Zhenren's face, and he develops the intention to kill you and take your treasures.]
[He activates his Wood-based spell, and vines sprout from beneath your feet, tightly wrapping around you.]
[Seeing this, you raise an eyebrow, and then, with a thought, unleash the Blazing Fire Technique. In an instant, the strange vines binding you are incinerated.]
[Among the Five Elements, Wood generates Fire, and Fire overcomes Wood. Furthermore, the Blazing Fire Technique is inherently a flame Divine Ability with formidable power, making it even more effective against Wood-based spells.]
[Wanmu Zhenren sees his spell being seen through and his expression turns serious. He once again channels his spiritual energy and attacks you.]
[But you don't panic. Although your cultivation is weaker than Wanmu Zhenren's, relying on your Earth Sword Technique and your comprehension of extreme speed, you are no less formidable.]
[The two of you engage in a fierce battle for hundreds of rounds. Wanmu Zhenren's spiritual energy is significantly depleted and he takes out more pills to replenish it.]
[And you consume Spirit Liquid to replenish your own spiritual energy... In a battle of endurance, you are not weaker than Wanmu Zhenren.]
[You initially thought that Wanmu Zhenren's cultivation enhancement would only last a short time, but you didn't expect the pills to be so potent. He maintains his Unity Stage Initial Stage cultivation and battles you for a long time without exhaustion.]
[You unleash your sword intent once more and attack Wanmu Zhenren.]
[With a thought, you silently mutter, "Bring it here!"
[The next second, you see a strange piece of wood appear in your hand. The wood is entirely charcoal black, and you sense numerous Dao Principles within it, but you can't decipher their source.]
[You sense that this piece of wood is extraordinary, and you put it away.]
[Wanmu Zhenren sees the piece of wood that has appeared in your hand and is instantly shocked. After carefully checking his storage ring, he becomes enraged and intensifies his attack on you.]
[You are not the least bit intimidated and unleash your sword techniques again.]
[And Wanmu Zhenren, it turns out, also understands the Dao of the Sword. He takes out a strange wooden sword and engages you in battle.]
[Another several hundred rounds of battle ensue, during which you continuously replenish your spiritual energy using Spirit Liquid.]
[And Wanmu Zhenren also consumes numerous pills, many of which appear to be capable of temporarily enhancing his cultivation.]
In the real world, Su Xing sees this and sighs with emotion:
"Wanmu Sect, truly worthy of being a pill refining sect… They have quite a few pills that enhance cultivation and restore spiritual energy!"
"They're probably the wealthiest of the three major sects?"
With this thought, Su Xing's determination to kill Wanmu Zhenren grows even stronger.
His gaze returns to the simulation panel.
[The battle continues. The charcoal-black piece of wood seems to be extremely important to Wanmu Zhenren. His expression becomes increasingly anxious, and he desperately wants to reclaim the piece of wood.]
[And so, the two of you continue to battle for dozens more rounds.]
[Finally, you seize an opportunity. A sword qi severs Wanmu Zhenren's arm.]
[Wanmu Zhenren lets out a pained cry, but immediately bites down and frantically channels his spiritual energy.]
[Within your spiritual sense, a green energy continuously repairs Wanmu Zhenren's arm. In just a few breaths, Wanmu Zhenren's severed limb has regenerated!]
[You are utterly shocked.]
[Limb regeneration, this is something only Primordial Origin Realm powerhouses can do, and even Primordial Origin Realm powerhouses wouldn't possess such a rapid recovery speed.]
[You realize that the issue lies in this green spiritual energy. Wood spiritual energy can indeed heal injuries, but it's impossible for it to recover so quickly.]
[You have a faint guess... Could it be that Wanmu Zhenren has grasped the rudiments of the Great Dao of Wood?]
[Just as you have grasped extreme speed, which is the foundational component of the Great Dao of Thunder and the Great Dao of the Sword...]
[And Wanmu Zhenren's ability to regenerate so quickly should also be a foundational component of the Great Dao of Wood.]
[Your expression becomes serious. If that is indeed the case, this inherent power, while not adept at offense, likely possesses terrifying defensive and endurance capabilities.]
[This makes the battle even more arduous for you!]
"Tsk tsk, worthy of being a genius! He has actually grasped the rudiments of the Great Dao of Wood... It seems he's not far from officially breaking through to the Unity Stage!"
Su Xing sighs softly, understanding that killing Wanmu Zhenren has become more difficult.
His gaze falls on the simulation panel.
[After his injuries heal, Wanmu Zhenren looks at you with even more hatred.]
[He is desperate to reclaim the piece of wood, and he knows that you are at the Return to Void Stage Grand Completion.]
[And he is now at the Unity Stage, so he believes that your spiritual sense is definitely weaker than his.]
[Thus, Wanmu Zhenren takes the initiative to use a spiritual sense attack method to assault you.]
[Seeing this, you are instantly delighted. Wanmu Zhenren has actually exposed a flaw.]
[Faced with Wanmu Zhenren's spiritual sense attack, you don't dodge or evade. You also unleash your spiritual sense, transforming it into a golden cauldron and launching it towards Wanmu Zhenren's spiritual sense.]
[Boom!]
[The two spiritual senses collide, and a powerful wave of pressure spreads through the air, almost causing the heavens and earth to change color.]
[The moment they collide, Wanmu Zhenren feels something is amiss. Your spiritual sense is actually stronger than his by more than a little!]
[As the two spiritual senses clash, Wanmu Zhenren realizes he can no longer retract his spiritual sense in time.]
[And you seize the opportunity and directly cause Wanmu Zhenren's spiritual sense to suffer a heavy blow.]
[Following the severe damage to his spiritual sense, Wanmu Zhenren immediately spits out blood, his aura withering, clearly severely injured.]
[And you then retract your spiritual sense, delighted, and launch an attack on Wanmu Zhenren!]
[Another several hundred rounds of battle ensue.]
[But with his spiritual sense damaged, Wanmu Zhenren's spiritual energy becomes unstable, his strength greatly diminished compared to before. He can only rely on his regeneration and rapid injury recovery abilities to delay his defeat.]
[This battle ultimately lasts for a day and a night.]
[At the cost of serious injuries, you finally succeed in slaying Wanmu Zhenren!]
[After killing Wanmu Zhenren, you place his body within the Spirit Field Cavern, and you also take Wanmu Zhenren's storage ring.]
In the real world, Su Xing sees this and exclaims with joy:
"What a dramatic outcome… If Wanmu Zhenren had fought me normally, relying on his foundation, his mastery of the Dao of Wood, and numerous pills… I probably wouldn't have been able to defeat him in a few days!"
"But Wanmu Zhenren chose to seek his own demise, engaging in a spiritual sense battle, ultimately tripping over his own feet… and I successfully killed him!"
Su Xing is overjoyed, and he eagerly anticipates just how precious the treasures within Wanmu Zhenren's storage ring might be.
"Damn it, and that Spirit Vein Dragon… I saved his life, and this thing just ran off?"
"Didn't it say that the Spirit Vein Dragon would be grateful? How can this Spirit Vein Dragon have such a terrible personality?"
"Hehe, but you can't run away from the temple if you run away from the monk… This Xianwu Era Dungeon is so big, where can he run to?"
With that thought, Su Xing's gaze returns to the simulation panel.
[Just as you are about to enter the Spirit Field Cavern, a dragon's roar suddenly comes from behind you.]
[You immediately look back, and you see a dragon, over three feet long, flying towards you from the high clouds, its gaze filled with gratitude towards you.]
[Your heart is instantly filled with joy. You believe you had previously misunderstood the Spirit Vein Dragon. Perhaps the dragon has come to repay your kindness?]
[The Spirit Vein Dragon lets out a few low growls near you. Relying on your Level 10 Beast Language, you successfully understand the dragon's meaning.]
[It has taken a liking to the Spirit Liquid on you and wants to drink some.]
[Although your heart aches a little, you still take out a bottle of Spirit Liquid and hand it over.]
[The Spirit Vein Dragon is instantly delighted. Like drinking an oral liquid, it swallows the Spirit Liquid in one gulp.]
[After that, it continues to ask for more Spirit Liquid.]
[Although you feel a pang of pain in your heart, you also know that you can't expect to catch a wolf without losing a lamb. So, you take out hundreds of bottles of Spirit Liquid in one go.]
[The Spirit Vein Dragon is instantly delighted. It rubs affectionately against your back and then exhales a mouthful of pure spiritual energy.]
[You then feel your injuries rapidly healing. In just a short time, you go from being seriously injured to lightly injured.]
[You are filled with admiration. Worthy of being a treasure from the Three Thousand Worlds, the top of the Earth Rank creatures list, the Spirit Vein Dragon, with just a single breath of its spiritual energy, has such a terrifying effect.]
[After that, looking at the little dragon that is frantically drinking Spirit Liquid, you don't feel as heartbroken anymore.]
[In just a quarter of an hour, this young Spirit Vein Dragon has already consumed no less than a hundred bottles of Spirit Liquid.]
[A hundred bottles of Spirit Liquid is a million drops!]
[That's enough to cover half a year's worth of cultivation for a Return to Void Stage cultivator, but it was consumed in just a few minutes.]
[If it were a cultivator, consuming so much Spirit Liquid in such a short time would likely cause their body to explode.]
[But this Spirit Vein Dragon, surprisingly, isn't affected in the slightest. Its originally white dragon head has become slightly red, and it staggers as it walks.]
[Seeing the Spirit Vein Dragon's condition, you are instantly surprised. At the same time, you recall a rumor you once read.]
[If one consumes too much spiritual energy in a short period of time, or suddenly enters a place with extremely abundant spiritual energy, a mystical phenomenon can occur...]
[This phenomenon is called Spiritual Intoxication!]
[It refers to the absorption of too much spiritual energy, causing one's body and mind to become unclear, leading to a state similar to drunkenness.]
[Clearly, the Spirit Vein Dragon in front of you, because it is still young and has been dormant for a long time, has probably never consumed so much Spirit Liquid at once.]
[Now, having suddenly consumed a million drops of Spirit Liquid, it has entered a state of Spiritual Intoxication...]
[The Spirit Vein Dragon, as its intoxication intensifies, staggers for a while, and then, to your surprise, falls asleep at your feet.]
[You look at the Spirit Vein Dragon and feel like laughing. You put away the remaining un-drunk Spirit Liquid and begin to consider how to deal with this little dragon.]
[At this moment, you suddenly feel a warning in your heart, your instinctive danger avoidance and the Gossip Calculation Art wildly convey a sense of foreboding.]
[Your heart races, and you have a vague sense that something bad is about to happen.]
[Without time to think, you erase the surrounding traces and shield your own celestial secrets.]
[Then, you store the Spirit Vein Dragon in the Spirit Field Cavern and frantically flee in the distance.]
[As for the traces left behind from the fight with Wanmu Zhenren, you no longer have time to erase them.]
[You fly on your sword, running for thousands of miles, but the warning in your heart doesn't subside.]
[You can only choose to escape the Xianwu Era Dungeon and return to Earth.]
[After returning to Kyoto, you immediately enter the Spirit Field Cavern, and only then does the warning in your heart gradually dissipate.]
[Feeling your emotions slowly calming down, you exhale a long breath.]
[At the same time, you become vigilant. What exactly did you encounter that caused you to be so wary...?
[You ponder carefully. At your current cultivation and strength, there are not many people on Earth who could pose a threat to your life.]
[After much deliberation, you conclude that the most likely cause of this sense of danger is the Dragon Protector!]
[After all, the Dragon Protector is also a cultivator, and it belongs to the same Dragon race as the Spirit Vein Dragon. Perhaps it sensed the Spirit Vein Dragon's appearance and found you?]
[You don't know the reason for this, but thankfully, you are currently safe within the Spirit Field Cavern.]
[Although the Dragon Protector is strong, it doesn't have the ability to tear through space and find the Spirit Field Cavern.]
[So, after regaining your composure, you look at the tipsy little dragon in front of you and begin to consider how to deal with it.]
