Chapter 238: The Power to Move Mountains! Achieving the Body Refinement Profound Origin Realm! (10,000 words, 2-in-1)
[At the agreed location, Lu Yuanwu had been waiting for a long time.]
[His expression was excited, repeatedly calling the protagonist "senior," clearly aware of the powerful effects of the two types of pills.]
[He took out a thousand tons of exotic metal, stating that it was the maximum he could mobilize within a week. The protagonist gently shook his head, indicating that the quantity was too small.]
[Lu Yuanwu's face showed a wry smile. He explained that his individual capabilities were limited, and there were still undercover agents within the Daxia military, preventing him from supplying a large amount of exotic metal.]
[However, Lu Yuanwu also stated that he would provide the protagonist with one thousand tons of third-order exotic metal every week going forward.]
[Furthermore, Lu Yuanwu had already applied to utilize the reserves from the national treasury. Once the order was approved, he would be able to provide ten thousand tons of third-order exotic metal at once!]
[After hearing Lu Yuanwu's words, the protagonist reluctantly nodded in agreement and handed one thousand pills to Lu Yuanwu.]
[Lu Yuanwu, upon receiving the pills, left in a state of excitement.]
[The protagonist used a spell to shield his own aura and figure, quietly following Lu Yuanwu along the way.]
[He tracked Lu Yuanwu for several days, finally concluding that he had not betrayed him.]
[The protagonist, being inherently cautious, changed his appearance and concealed his aura before returning to school to observe if anything unusual occurred.]
[For several months, nothing unusual happened, and his transactions with Lu Yuanwu remained secure.]
[During these months, he planted dozens of Spirit Awakening Flowers, preparing for their use in refining Spirit Awakening Pills in the future.]
Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, confirming that the trade with Lu Yuanwu was indeed risk-free, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
"One thousand tons of third-order exotic metal per week... This means an extra 2 billion energy points per week!"
"While not a sudden windfall, this energy is more than enough!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, his gaze falling upon the simulation panel.
[One day, you went to the Luo Tian Assembly instance.]
"Use immersive simulation... Duration: 24 hours!"
[You successfully used immersive simulation... Remaining energy: 94,990,000 points.]
Su Xing's vision flickered, and he found himself in a grand hall.
Before him stood his master, Luo Song, the Supreme Elder of the Luo Tian Sect.
"Disciple, go to the back mountain and invite your senior brother, Shen Nong..."
Luo Song issued his usual command, but Su Xing didn't rush to leave. Instead, he asked:
"Master, I'd like to ask, what level of cultivation is required to traverse the void with one's physical body?"
Luo Song, upon hearing Su Xing's question, smiled and explained:
"To traverse the void with one's physical body, to roam through the spatial turbulence, one must be an Immortal Body!"
"And if you want to forcefully shatter the void, to shuttle between the Three Thousand Worlds, you must at least reach the True Immortal Realm..."
Su Xing was somewhat incredulous upon hearing Luo Song's words.
Does that mean that to traverse the spatial turbulence, one must at least reach the Immortal Realm?
Su Xing, unwilling to give up, continued to ask:
"Master, if it's... just a short distance of spatial turbulence, could someone below the Immortal Realm safely pass through?"
Luo Song pondered for a moment before replying:
"If the duration isn't long, the pressure on the physical body might not be that great..."
"Therefore, someone with a peak Great Ascension Stage or mid-stage Body Refinement Perfection Realm, who has also learned a powerful defensive divine ability, might also be able to traverse it!"
Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief. The Body Refinement Perfection Realm was the realm after Body Refinement Profound Origin.
With some effort, he could possibly reach it within a few months.
However, Su Xing was also somewhat shocked.
Shutting between the Three Thousand Worlds, tearing apart the void, was something only achievable at the True Immortal Realm?
Does that mean that Xue San is at least a True Immortal Realm powerhouse?
Su Xing felt a shiver down his spine. He had once again underestimated the influence of the Arrival Sect in the Three Thousand Worlds.
After asking his questions, Su Xing went to the back mountain to find Shen Nong Youtian.
After completing the mission process, Su Xing headed straight for the Scripture Pavilion to learn puppetry from Ghost Granny.
...
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
"Not bad. Each time Ghost Granny provides guidance, my puppetry skills improve significantly..."
His gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[After leaving the Luo Tian Assembly, you met Luo Shuyin as agreed.]
[Under Luo Shuyin's guidance, you successfully joined the Arrival Sect.]
[You stayed within the Arrival Sect, refining pills as usual.]
[The second year, you went to the Luo Tian Assembly instance again.]
"Use immersive simulation... Duration: 24 hours!"
[You successfully used immersive simulation... Remaining energy: 92,590,000 points.]
...
The immersive simulation time ended, and Su Xing's puppetry skills advanced further.
His gaze once again fell upon the simulation panel.
[In the following time, you stayed in the Arrival Sect, refining pills every day.]
[In the third year, you gave all the more than 200,000 pills you had refined to the Daxia military.]
[After that, you didn't rush to betray the Arrival Sect but instead began to investigate the whereabouts of the Arrival Sect's undercover agents.]
[According to your intelligence, the Arrival Sect's undercover agents who had been stationed in the Daxia military for hundreds of years had been almost completely eliminated.]
[This caused the Arrival Sect to suffer a setback, with various missions failing to progress smoothly. Reorganizing their undercover network in a short period of time was undoubtedly extremely difficult.]
[Knowing that the Arrival Sect's undercover agents had been eradicated, you feigned sadness on the surface, but secretly rejoiced in your heart.]
[Thus, you stayed safely in the Arrival Sect, diligently cultivating every day and using spiritual energy to accelerate the maturation of the Spirit Awakening Flowers.]
[In this way, three years passed.]
[In the sixth year, your strength had already reached the Integration Stage, second level.]
[As you continued to accelerate the maturation of the Spirit Awakening Flowers, coupled with the Shen Nong talent's enhancement, these flowers, which originally took over a hundred years to mature, would now be ready in just over four years.]
[So you continued to cultivate every day and cultivate medicinal herbs.]
[In this way, another two years passed.]
[In the eighth year, your voice within the Arrival Sect grew louder, with a trend of replacing the leader of the Natural Faction.]
[You quietly waited for the right opportunity.]
[In the tenth year, your cultivation reached the Integration Stage, third level.]
[In the same year, you found an opportunity to kill the leader of the Natural Faction and took his place.]
[This action caused Long Laogou to become dissatisfied.]
[In the eleventh year, the Spirit Awakening Flowers you had cultivated matured, and you began to attempt the refinement of Spirit Awakening Pills.]
[According to the pill classification system you obtained from the Immortal Cultivation World, the Spirit Awakening Pill is a sixth-grade pill.]
[Grades one to three correspond to the low-grade pills in the Blazing Fire Pill Refining Technique.]
[Grades three to six correspond to mid-grade pills.]
[Grades seven to nine correspond to high-grade pills.]
[Your Blazing Fire Pill Refining Technique has already reached a rudimentary level of mastery, and you have even previously refined the high-grade pill, the Rebirth Pill.]
[Therefore, the refinement of the Spirit Awakening Pill was not too difficult for you.]
[Even so, you activated the Great Wisdom state enhancement and began to seriously study the refinement process of the Spirit Awakening Pill.]
[Only one Spirit Awakening Pill can be refined per furnace, and refining one takes a full eighteen hours. This refinement time exceeds that of any pill you have previously refined.]
[In the first month, you refined ten furnaces of Spirit Awakening Pills. Unsurprisingly, they all became waste pills.]
[But you were not discouraged, because as you continued to attempt refinement, your understanding of the Spirit Awakening Pill also deepened.]
[In the second month, you refined eight furnaces of Spirit Awakening Pills, all of which failed.]
[In the third month, you refined seven furnaces of Spirit Awakening Pills, all of which failed.]
[Until the fourth month, you refined ten furnaces of Spirit Awakening Pills, and finally, one furnace was successfully refined. This meant that you had successfully entered the realm of proficiency in refining the Spirit Awakening Pill!]
[After reaching proficiency, your efficiency in refining Spirit Awakening Pills greatly improved.]
[In the following three months, you refined a total of ten furnaces of Spirit Awakening Pills, successfully refining three, with the best one already reaching the normal standard for a Spirit Awakening Pill.]
[Your mastery of refining Spirit Awakening Pills was approaching the rudimentary level of mastery.]
[At this time, you still had over ten Spirit Awakening Flowers left, enough to refine ten furnaces of Spirit Awakening Pills, but you didn't rush to refine them. Instead, you kept them.]
[In the twelfth year, you continued to diligently cultivate and improve your strength.]
[Your cultivation remained at Integration Stage, third level. After running out of spirit stones and spirit liquid, your cultivation progress slowed down.]
[In this way, another two years passed.]
[In the fourteenth year, you prepared to make a bold attempt.]
[You wanted to see if, after killing Long Laogou and taking possession of the Spirit Vein Dragon, the Arrival Sect's headquarters personnel in the Three Thousand Worlds would notice.]
[You were prepared to take a gamble, because if the Arrival Sect didn't notice, you would be able to gain the assistance of the Spirit Vein Dragon, and your cultivation speed would surely skyrocket!]
[Thus, you carefully planned your actions.]
[In the fifteenth year, you went to the Wanmu Sect ruins and killed Wanmu Zhenren.]
[You rescued the Spirit Vein Dragon and led it into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.]
[The Spirit Vein Dragon, having escaped, quickly attracted Long Laogou with its aura.]
[A battle was imminent!]
[You fought Long Laogou for thousands of rounds, and finally, with your Heavenly Sword Art, you successfully killed him!]
[After that, you destroyed Long Laogou's transmission jade slip.]
[You skinned and dismembered Long Laogou and took out the most crucial Dragon Pearl.]
[After killing Long Laogou, you quietly waited, wondering if Xue San would notice and come to Earth.]
[Soon, a year passed...]
[In the sixteenth year, Xue San still hadn't arrived on Earth, but to be safe, you decided to remain in the Arrival Sect.]
[In the same year, you accumulated over a month's worth of Great Wisdom talent enhancement and took one of the best-quality Spirit Awakening Pills to begin your final attempt at pill refinement.]
[After taking the Spirit Awakening Pill, you suddenly felt that your mind was running much faster than before. Your comprehension had increased by dozens of times in a short period of time!]
[What excited you most was that the effect of the Spirit Awakening Pill could indeed be combined with the Great Wisdom talent!]
[Although the combined effect was not as good as a chance enlightenment, in this state, your comprehension in one month was equivalent to ten years under normal circumstances!]
[So you began to try refining the Spirit Awakening Pill.]
[You spent twelve days refining ten furnaces of Spirit Awakening Pills, with the number of top-quality Spirit Awakening Pills reaching 30%, and the success rate of pill refinement approaching 70%!]
[Your mastery of refining Spirit Awakening Pills had suddenly reached the rudimentary level of mastery!]
[At this time, your state of enhanced comprehension by a hundred times had not yet ended, so you began to attempt the final refinement of the Nine Turns Pill!]
[Before refining the Nine Turns Pill, you had already memorized the pill refinement process perfectly.]
[The Nine Turns Pill is an eighth-grade pill, and its difficulty of refinement far exceeds that of any pill you have previously refined.]
[Only in a state of greatly enhanced comprehension did you dare to attempt its refinement.]
[And refining one furnace of Nine Turns Pills takes half a month! Only one pill is produced per furnace!]
[For you, you only have one Dragon Pearl, and only one chance... ]
[You took a deep breath, entered a state of forgetfulness, and began the refinement process of the Nine Turns Pill.]
[Taking out the pill furnace left to you by Qing Yunzi, as your pill refining skills became more profound, you also increasingly understood the high quality of this pill furnace.]
[Only this pill furnace was capable of allowing you to refine the Nine Turns Pill.]
[The pill furnace ignited, and the Blazing Fire Technique was freely released...]
[Following the process, you first preheated the pill furnace.]
[Then, you added the medicinal herbs in order, each step timed to the second, without any hesitation.]
[Finally, you placed the fist-sized Dragon Pearl into the pill furnace.]
[After accurately placing the medicinal herbs, you began the final stage of refinement.]
[The refinement of the Nine Turns Pill requires using extremely high temperatures to activate the pill furnace and melt the Dragon Pearl. Finally, with the help of the other medicinal herbs, the side effects of the Dragon Pearl are removed, forming the Nine Turns Pill, capable of enhancing the Body Refinement realm!]
[This process requires a full half-month and is a tremendous drain on spiritual energy.]
[You exerted all your effort to activate the Blazing Fire Technique, and your internal spiritual energy gradually depleted...]
[Soon, half a month passed.]
[Inside the pill furnace, the refinement of the Nine Turns Pill was only one step away from completion: opening the furnace!]
[You sighed in your heart. If you didn't have the Integration Stage cultivation, perhaps the spiritual energy needed just to refine the Nine Turns Pill would be beyond the capacity of even a Void Returning Stage cultivator.]
[This is also why pill refining masters are often cultivators with high levels of cultivation.]
[Finally, you calculated the time and reached the moment to open the furnace.]
[The pill furnace opened, and the Nine Turns Pill was complete!]
[A thumb-sized, smooth and delicate pill, with nine dragon patterns wrapped around its exterior, slowly formed.]
[On your first attempt, you successfully refined the Nine Turns Pill!]
[This tiny Nine Turns Pill almost contained all the essence of the Dragon Pearl!]
[This is why it can allow cultivators at the Perfection Stage, or even higher, to break through to the next realm!]
[With the Nine Turns Pill in hand, you frowned slightly. Indeed, because it was your first time refining it, the quality of this pill was not ideal, but it was still enough to allow a Profound Origin Stage cultivator to break through to the next realm.]
[And your mastery of the Nine Turns Pill had successfully reached the rudimentary level of mastery!]
[After refining the pill, life seemed to calm down again...]
[In this way, another two years passed.]
[In the eighteenth year, one day, you were in the Arrival Sect headquarters as usual when a figure suddenly appeared behind you.]
[You looked closely and saw that it was Xue San!]
[Your heart felt a slight pang of nervousness, but you still calmly looked at Xue San and asked who he was.]
[After arriving at the Arrival Sect headquarters on Earth, Xue San frowned slightly and then asked where the little dragon was.]
[You naturally knew that the little dragon referred to Long Hufa!]
[Next, you began to use your acting skills.]
[You first looked at Long Hufa with vigilance and then sneered, stating that the black dragon had long been killed by you!]
[Xue San frowned slightly. He had maintained contact with Long Laogou through transmission jade slips every year, and Long Laogou would report the situation on Earth to him.]
[But for the past three years, he had not received any response from Long Laogou, so he was worried and came to Earth in person.]
[Xue San's voice became cold, and he asked about your identity.]
[You raised an eyebrow and said that you were the leader of the Arrival Sect's Natural Faction.]
[Xue San was stunned when he heard your words. He originally thought that you were a native Earth cultivator who had killed Long Laogou, but he never expected that you were also a high-ranking member of the Arrival Sect.]
[So he asked why you killed Long Laogou.]
[You sneered and did not answer. Xue San used soul oppression on you.]
[Under Xue San's coercion, you were "forced" to answer that Long Laogou wanted to steal your treasures but was not strong enough and was killed by you in retaliation.]
[Xue San frowned slightly when he heard your words, then a strange light flashed in his eyes as he carefully examined you.]
[Xue San quickly sensed the Spirit Field Cave Heaven on you and reached out with his hand. The Spirit Vein Dragon within the Spirit Field Cave Heaven fell into Xue San's hand.]
[Upon seeing the Spirit Vein Dragon, Xue San was first stunned, then his face showed expressions of disbelief, surprise, and others.]
[You seized the opportunity to say that you were the first to discover this creature, and then Long Laogou tried to kill you and steal your treasure, but you killed him in retaliation.]
[After hearing your explanation, Xue San fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.]
[After a long time, Xue San said that he would not pursue the matter of you killing Long Laogou, as long as you offered the Spirit Vein Dragon to him, he would reward you greatly!]
[Xue San's words were exactly what you wanted to hear, so you said that you wanted to leave Earth and go to the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[Xue San nodded slightly and then threw a pass to you.]
[Before leaving, Xue San told you to cultivate diligently and that if you went to the Arrival Sect headquarters in the future, you might have a bright future.]
[Having said that, Xue San tore open the void and left Earth...]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and raised an eyebrow:
"Sure enough, Long Laogou and Xue San have been in contact... If Long Laogou dies, Xue San will definitely notice!"
Su Xing thought for a moment.
This means that if Su Xing takes action to kill Long Laogou, he will only have less than three years to develop on Earth...
In three years, with over 160 simulations, Su Xing's cultivation might not be inferior to Xue San's.
But the problem is that if he kills Long Laogou in reality, Su Xing will have to give up the Spirit Vein Dragon after three years and join the Arrival Sect.
Unless, Su Xing escapes Earth alone...
"If I kill Long Laogou in the simulation... and then take the Spirit Vein Dragon to Little Qingyun Realm within three years, the sky will be the limit, and it will definitely work!"
Su Xing thought to himself, silently recording this future plan.
"This simulation finally confirms that Long Laogou is indeed in contact with Xue San... This means I need to be even more careful and avoid exposing myself, otherwise, if I attract Xue San, I'll surely die..."
Su Xing secretly kept this in mind.
Originally, Su Xing was practically invincible on Earth, which had made him somewhat complacent.
But now, new trouble could come at any time, and Su Xing had to regain his caution!
"I'll deal with that later. For now, I need to break through to the Profound Origin Realm!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze falling upon the simulation panel.
[After Xue San left, you remained in the Arrival Sect and diligently cultivated.]
[In the nineteenth year, you went to the Beast Taming World and spent several months killing hundreds of Legendary demonic beasts.]
[In the twentieth year, your cultivation increased to the latter half of Integration Stage, third level, steadily progressing towards Integration Stage, fourth level.]
[In this way, another three years passed.]
[In the twenty-third year, your cultivation increased further, only one step away from Integration Stage, fourth level.]
[You took out the millions of drops of spirit liquid you had accumulated over the years and prepared to break through to Integration Stage, fourth level in one go!]
[In the twenty-fourth year, after half a year of seclusion, your cultivation finally reached the Integration Stage, mid-level as desired!]
[Reaching Integration Stage, fourth level, gave you more confidence in breaking through to the Profound Origin Realm within the Thunder Region later.]
[In the following years, you quietly waited. Aside from necessary cultivation, you spent most of your time with your family and friends.]
[In this way, four years passed quickly...]
[In the twenty-eighth year, the Demon Saint descended upon the Demon Suppression Pass, and the Demon Suppression Pass was breached, leaving humanity in despair.]
[Several months later, a giant beast descended upon Earth and swallowed the entire Daxia country in one gulp!]
[You activated your protective aura, without resisting, and were swallowed into the giant beast's abdominal space...]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and felt a surge of anticipation.
"Profound Origin Realm cultivation, it's time to break through!"
"As long as I break through the limits of the human body, I will surely be able to enter the Profound Origin Realm!"
"Moreover... the Indestructible Cockroach talent can further enhance my ability to withstand damage, and the probability of my physical body surviving the thunder will increase greatly!"
"Furthermore... the Thunder Region in the giant beast's abdomen contains the Thunder Dao. Perhaps I can comprehend it and further enhance my Heavenly Thunder Body?"
Su Xing thought to himself, his gaze falling upon the simulation panel.
[You were swallowed into the giant beast's abdominal space. You activated your protective aura to protect yourself.]
[The surrounding mountains, rivers, trees, and continental buildings were all rapidly disappearing. Life after life vanished before your eyes...]
[After an unknown amount of time, you began to see the Thunder Region.]
[You stepped into a small Thunder Region and allowed the thunder to strike your body.]
[But with your peak Void Breaking Stage physical strength, coupled with the Heavenly Thunder Body, this small Thunder Region could no longer cause you substantial harm.]
[Even if you didn't activate your protective aura and simply withstood the thunder with your pure physical body, it would only cause you some pain, but it wouldn't allow you to break through your limits.]
[So you didn't hesitate and went to a medium-sized Thunder Region!]
[As soon as you stepped into the Thunder Region, terrifying thunder from the sky struck you directly.]
[You didn't activate your protective aura. You only activated a thin layer of Yuanli armor on the surface of your skin and allowed the thunder from the sky to strike you!]
[The piercing pain made your heart tremble, and you almost instinctively wanted to dodge.]
[But you endured it. You knew that if you couldn't withstand this pain, how could you break through your limits and achieve Profound Origin?]
[Compared to the small Thunder Region, the thunder in the medium-sized Thunder Region was several times thicker, and the Thunder Dao contained within it was also richer.]
[This meant that the thunder here was more terrifying and had a stronger destructive power on the physical body!]
[Without the protection of your protective aura, the thunder struck your body. Just one strike turned your skin black.]
[This terrifying thunder caused several wounds on your body, with flesh and blood torn apart.]
[But you still gritted your teeth and persisted, stubbornly withstanding the pain of the thunder, gradually breaking through your physical limits.]
[What surprised you was that you hadn't fully withstood the first strike of thunder when the second strike came right after it!]
[Just as you were about to activate your protective aura, you suddenly sensed a cool energy within your body rapidly repairing your injuries.]
[It was the golden talent, Indestructible Cockroach!]
[Under the effect of the talent, the burnt skin visibly began to shed, and beneath the shed skin, new flesh grew.]
[And your injuries were rapidly recovering.]
[This made you breathe a sigh of relief, giving you confidence that you could withstand the continuous strikes of thunder here!]
[One strike of thunder fell, frantically destroying your physical body.]
[And the vitality constantly flowing from within your body was continuously repairing your injuries.]
[In this way, between the extreme destruction and rebirth of the thunder... your physical body gradually approached its limit, constantly surpassing itself...]
[After an unknown period of time, the medium-sized Thunder Region you were in gradually dissipated.]
[You rested for a moment and then headed towards the next medium-sized Thunder Region.]
[In this way, over the course of a day and a night, you experienced over ten medium-sized Thunder Regions.]
[Your physical body was getting closer and closer to its limit.]
[But at the same time, the number of Thunder Regions in the giant beast's abdomen was decreasing.]
[You knew you couldn't delay any longer, otherwise, once the medium-sized regions disappeared, you would have to go to the large-sized regions.]
[But the thunder in the large-sized regions was far beyond what you could currently withstand...]
[So you gathered your strength and prepared to enter the last medium-sized Thunder Region.]
[This time, you made a bold decision!]
[Abandon all defenses and confront the thunder in the region with your pure physical body!]
[This decision was insane...]
[If it were before, you definitely wouldn't have dared to try this, but after the previous thunder baptism, your physical body was more than twice as strong as before, which gave you the confidence to face the thunder directly!]
[You readjusted your state, took a healing pill, and drank a bottle of spirit liquid.]
[After that, you stepped into the Thunder Region!]
[The moment you stepped in, terrifying thunder surged towards you frantically.]
[Without the protection of the Yuanli armor, the thunder struck your physical body directly.]
[This terrifying pain was several times stronger than before!]
[Just the first strike of thunder made you almost faint from the pain...]
[But you still gritted your teeth and persisted...]
[The thunder frantically filled your physical body, causing every muscle and inch of your skin to ache.]
[Blood flowed from your seven orifices, and your flesh was turned black.]
[This thunder, imbued with the power of the origin, had already injured your internal organs.]
[But at the same time, a gentle stream of vitality flowed into your body, spreading to your limbs and bones, gradually repairing the parts of your body damaged by the thunder.]
[Another strike of thunder fell...]
[In the continuous destruction and repair, your physical body finally approached its limit!]
[At a certain moment... your body suddenly felt light.]
[This was the feeling of breaking through the limit. You finally broke through another invisible shackle on your physical body!]
[Your physical strength increased rapidly, and your power grew wildly!]
[In just a few breaths of time, your strength increased by nearly double!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the Profound Origin Realm cultivator!]
In the real world, Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief and muttered:
"It was really difficult!"
"This breakthrough to the Profound Origin Realm is even more difficult than the breakthrough to the Void Breaking Realm back then..."
"If I didn't have the recovery talent, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it..."
Su Xing knew that the reason why his limit was so difficult to break was because his foundation was solid, and his limit was much higher than that of ordinary cultivators, which made it seem even more difficult.
"However, this breakthrough to the Profound Origin Realm has brought me tremendous improvements!"
"A full fourfold increase in strength, pure physical strength, from 5 million tons to 20 million tons!"
Su Xing recalled the descriptions of Body Refinement cultivators' strength he had heard in the Luo Tian Sect.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, the way strength is calculated is different from the modern world.
It starts with the unit of jin (a Chinese unit of weight), then uses the strength of oxen and tigers as units.
A famous example is the so-called strength of nine oxen and two tigers.
However, for high-level cultivators, there is an important description of strength.
That is, the power to move mountains!
Here, "move mountains" is not a figure of speech but a literal description of the power to move mountains!
Generally speaking, a 200-meter-high mountain, including its entire body, all the creatures and trees on the mountain, would weigh around 20 million tons!
"So... after entering the Profound Origin Realm, I should have the so-called strength of one mountain, right?!"
Su Xing's heart was filled with excitement.
This "one mountain" doesn't refer to destroying a mountain...
It refers to the pure physical strength to lift a mountain!
"Then next, I need to break through to Profound Origin Realm, second level, and find a way to advance my Heavenly Thunder Body..."
Su Xing muttered, preparing to try again during the following period.
His gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[After breaking through to the Profound Origin Realm, you temporarily left the medium-sized Thunder Region.]
[Then, you took out the Nine Turns Pill you had with you and began to break through to Profound Origin Realm, second level!]
[Swallowing the Nine Turns Pill, it instantly transformed into pure energy, surging into your body.]
[Every inch of your skin seemed to be sublimating...]
[Strength and physical strength were rapidly increasing...]
[You activated your protective aura and broke through in the giant beast's abdomen.]
[In this way, three full days passed...]
[When you opened your eyes again, your Body Refinement cultivation had seamlessly broken through to Profound Origin Realm, second level!]
[After breaking through to Profound Origin Realm, second level, you clearly felt a significant increase in your physical strength and toughness.]
[So you began to search for the next Thunder Region, hoping to make a breakthrough in your Heavenly Thunder Body.]
[But you searched for a long time, and the small and medium-sized Thunder Regions had all dissipated. The only things left in the void were the large-sized Thunder Regions and the terrifying spatial turbulence.]
[With no other choice, you had to grit your teeth and enter a large-sized Thunder Region to comprehend the Thunder Dao.]
[Compared to the medium-sized Thunder Regions, the large-sized Thunder Regions contained even more terrifying Thunder Origin, almost giving you the feeling of the terrifying pressure of a tribulation.]
[You activated your protective aura and gritted your teeth as you entered... ]
[A terrifying strike of thunder hit you...]
[You resisted for a moment...]
[You died!]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing twitched his lips and muttered:
"Is this large-sized Thunder Region that terrifying?"
"It actually... killed a Profound Origin Realm, second level cultivator with a protective aura just like that!"
Su Xing was somewhat helpless.
This thunder didn't even give him a chance to recover his injuries!
It just killed him instantly...
"Whatever!"
"The goals of this simulation have been almost perfectly achieved... at least I know that to advance my Heavenly Thunder Body, my current strength is not enough..."
"Let's see the rewards for this simulation!"
Su Xing's gaze fell upon the simulation rewards.
[Master of Pill Refinement]: Purple talent, price: 1 million energy points.
[Twenty Years of Pill Refinement Experience]: After exchange, your existing pill refining comprehension will significantly increase, including your comprehension of the second-grade pill, Marrow Washing Pill, the sixth-grade pill, Spirit Awakening Pill, and the eighth-grade pill, Nine Turns Pill, price: 80 million energy points.
[Integration Stage, Fourth Level Cultivation]: Integration Stage, mid-level cultivator, sensing the embryonic form of the Dao, comprehending the power of origin... price: 1.5 billion energy points.
[Profound Origin Realm, Second Level Cultivation]: Breaking through Profound Origin, breaking through illusions, physical body and strength entering a new stage. Top-tier Profound Origin Realm cultivators can briefly traverse the void. Price: 1 billion energy points.
[Top-Quality Spirit Awakening Pill (one)]: A magical pill with the ability to enhance intelligence, allowing one to maintain a comprehension level dozens of times higher for a month, price: 50 million energy points.
Su Xing naturally had no hesitation in choosing the rewards for this simulation.
His original goal for this simulation was pill refining experience and Profound Origin Realm cultivation!
"Integration Stage, fourth level cultivation, although the realm is slightly higher than Profound Origin Realm, second level... but both require a simulation time to achieve..."
"And if I don't choose Profound Origin Realm cultivation this time, I'll still need to enter the giant beast's abdomen again sooner or later!"
Su Xing muttered.
But what was embarrassing for him was that he didn't have enough simulation energy. He currently had less than 100 million energy points in total.
"Whatever... It seems I need to go see Old Man Lu again!"
Su Xing calculated the time and realized that today was the day he had agreed to trade with Lu Yuanwu.
So Su Xing began to change his appearance and conceal his aura, preparing to set out to find Lu Yuanwu.
Flying on his sword, Su Xing reached the agreed location with Lu Yuanwu in a short time.
His divine sense scanned the surrounding area for several miles, and indeed, only Lu Yuanwu was there alone.
Seeing that Lu Yuanwu had been waiting for a long time, Su Xing revealed himself, appearing behind Lu Yuanwu and saying calmly:
"Were you waiting for me?"
Su Xing's sudden voice startled Lu Yuanwu.
Then, Lu Yuanwu's face showed excitement as he said:
"Senior... those pills..."
Su Xing stretched out his hand to interrupt him:
"You know the effects of those pills, right? Don't worry, there are no side effects..."
"Here, these are ten thousand pills. Give me your thousand tons of exotic metal."
"Remember, deal with the undercover agents within the military and don't let anyone else know about our trade..."
Su Xing instructed, then waved his hand, and a thousand bottles of pills appeared before Lu Yuanwu.
Lu Yuanwu's face changed slightly when he heard Su Xing's words.
"Senior... what kind of ability is this? Can you read minds? How does he know what I'm thinking!"
Lu Yuanwu was shocked in his heart, even more amazed by Su Xing's strength.
Then, he quickly handed over a storage ring and said:
"Senior... can I come here every week to trade with you?"
"With my current authority, I can only get a maximum of one thousand tons of third-order exotic metal per week..."
"But I guarantee that within half a year... no, within three months, once the military approves my request, I will definitely be able to provide you with ten thousand tons of exotic metal at once!"
Su Xing nodded indifferently and then said:
"Okay, but I have a condition..."
"Before we completely eliminate the undercover agents within the Daxia military, you are not allowed to use these pills on a large scale..."
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement:
"No problem, Senior! Such pills should indeed not be known to the Arrival Sect..."
Lu Yuanwu agreed, his determination to eliminate the undercover agents even stronger.
Seeing that Lu Yuanwu was so accommodating, Su Xing naturally didn't say anything more.
He simply used his divine sense to briefly check the storage ring, ensuring there were no problems, before leaving the area.
All the way, flying on his sword, Su Xing arrived at the Immortal Martial Era instance.
Entering the Five Elements Sect ruins, using the formation to conceal his aura, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
"Whew, it's time to break through to the Profound Origin Realm!"
Su Xing muttered.
The commotion Su Xing caused when he broke through to the Integration Stage was already quite significant.
So Su Xing had to be extremely careful. Only by using the dual concealment of his personal Spirit Field and the ruins could he break through with peace of mind.
"Right, I also need to set up another aura-concealing formation!"
Su Xing muttered, then quickly began to set up the formation.
A moment later, the formation was complete.
And Su Xing exchanged the thousand tons of third-order exotic metal for simulation energy.
In this way, Su Xing's energy increased by another 2 billion, bringing his total energy to 2,092,590,000 points.
"Exchange for Profound Origin Realm, second level, and pill refining comprehension!"
Su Xing silently said.
[Ding, you have successfully obtained Profound Origin Realm, second level cultivation, spending 1 billion energy points, remaining energy: 1,092,590,
000 points.]
[Ding, you have successfully obtained twenty-five years of pill refining comprehension, spending 80 million energy points, remaining energy: 1,012,590,000 points.]
The prompt sounds faded, and then two mysterious energies entered Su Xing's body.
Su Xing first felt a flood of memories in his mind.
In just a moment, Su Xing had mastered the refinement of the Marrow Washing Pill, the Nine Turns Pill, and the Spirit Awakening Pill.
"Not bad. From now on, with each simulation, my cultivation progress will be even faster!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
But then, the aura around Su Xing began to surge...
Peak Void Breaking Stage... Profound Origin Realm, first level!
Profound Origin Realm, second level!
In just a few breaths of time, Su Xing's physical strength and cultivation aura both increased several times!
At the same time, in the sky above the mountains outside the Immortal Martial Era, dark clouds gathered, refusing to dissipate, but never falling.
Within the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing closed his eyes and calmed his mind, suppressing his aura.
After a moment, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a look of surprise in them.
"Body Refinement Profound Origin Realm, second level! I've done it!"
(End of chapter)
Chapter 239: The Ultimate Secret of Professionals? The Correct Usage of the Spirit Awakening Pill! (10,000 words, seeking monthly tickets~)
After advancing to the second stage of the Primordial Origin Realm, Su Xing's strength had made significant progress.
Especially in terms of his physical strength and constitution.
Previously, when he was at the peak of the Void Shattering Realm, Su Xing's physical strength was approximately five million tons.
After undergoing the thunder tribulation and breaking his limits, Su Xing's strength approached ten million tons.
Upon breaking through to the Primordial Origin Realm, Su Xing's strength approached twenty million tons, possessing what was known as the 'strength of a mountain'.
The increase in strength from the first to the second stage of the Primordial Origin Realm wasn't significant, only about 20-30%.
However, this meant that Su Xing could now effortlessly lift a mountain!
"Not bad... I'm still only in the early stages of the Primordial Origin Realm... If I advance to the fourth stage, reaching the mid-Primordial Origin Realm, my strength will see even greater increases!"
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
He estimated that relying solely on his Qi Refinement and Body Refinement cultivation, he was already close to matching the strength of an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
If he combined his Heavenly Sword Technique and understanding of Primordial Power, even a peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't stand a chance against him!
"Tsk tsk... With my current strength, killing that old dog Long should be a lot easier..."
After familiarizing himself with the strength gained from his advancement, Su Xing began his busy new week.
He continued to refine puppets.
A week passed slowly, and Su Xing refined three puppets.
He named them Dan Thirteen, Dan Fourteen, and Dan Fifteen.
With a total of fifteen puppets, he could now produce nearly 7,500 Fasting Pills per week!
Moreover, the more puppets Su Xing had, the faster he could refine Fasting Pills!
Su Xing made a quick calculation and muttered:
"About 1,500 Fasting Pills increase per week..."
"At this rate, in the future, in a month or even half a month... I'll be able to generate the income equivalent to another second-order alien metal dungeon!"
Su Xing felt a surge of excitement.
Then, Su Xing turned his attention to the few puppets left behind by the slain Elder Long.
"Compared to pure Dan Puppets, these puppets are quite powerful... If they're only used to refine Fasting Pills, it would be a waste of their potential..."
After some thought, Su Xing decided to have the Alchemist Puppet try refining Marrow Washing Pills!
Marrow Washing Pills were more valuable than Fasting Pills but far less valuable than Nourishing Yuan Pills.
Su Xing could accumulate some for future trade with the Great Xia military.
With the memories of a Yuan Ying Alchemist Puppet, refining 500 Marrow Washing Pills per week was a piece of cake.
If Su Xing accumulated them for a few months, he could exchange them with the Great Xia military for tens of billions of energy points, a nice side income.
"And this puppet, Xiao Mei... seems to have grown a lot in this period..."
Su Xing's eyes flashed with an unusual light as he examined the puppet with a beautiful face but only Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Puppet Xiao Mei was previously Elder Long's lover, "Flower Fairy," who was later refined into a puppet out of hatred and resentment.
When he first encountered her, Xiao Mei was only at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, but now she was close to the peak of Foundation Establishment.
She even had the potential to reach the Golden Core stage!
"Tsk tsk... It seems that puppet cultivators can also cultivate like ordinary cultivators... And the spiritual energy within my Spirit Field Cave Heaven is abundant, perhaps this puppet will be a great help to me in the future!"
After some consideration, Su Xing decided to set up a miniature spirit gathering array in Xiao Mei's dantian.
Xiao Mei only had a dual Wood and Fire spiritual root aptitude, but if Su Xing set up a fifth-order excellent quality miniature spirit gathering array, her aptitude would be comparable to a Heaven Spiritual Root!
Reaching the Golden Core stage within a few days wouldn't be difficult.
If Su Xing provided her with more pills for cultivation, she could even reach the Yuan Ying stage within half a year!
"Then, Xiao Mei can become a capable alchemy puppet under my command..."
Su Xing thought to himself, and then spent a couple of hours carving the miniature spirit gathering array for Xiao Mei.
After finishing all this, Su Xing went to the villa to meet Jin Congxue.
Jin Congxue seemed to be in a good mood today, which piqued Su Xing's curiosity. Using his divine sense to investigate, he was surprised to find that her cultivation had reached the late-stage Grandmaster!
Her cultivation had improved so quickly in just a few months!
"What's with the cheerful look? Is there something good going on?" Su Xing asked, feigning ignorance.
Jin Congxue chuckled, a hint of pride in her voice:
"A while ago, the Heavenly King-level elders in the family organized a training session for the younger generation, and I participated. After a few days in the dungeon, I unexpectedly gained a lot of experience and reached the late-stage Grandmaster!"
After hearing Jin Congxue's words, Su Xing nodded slightly.
Indeed, professionals had a natural advantage in this aspect!
They could gain a large amount of experience simply by killing monsters in dungeons, and the more they exceeded their level in battle, the more experience they gained!
For a family member like Jin Congxue, if they spared no expense to level up, it wouldn't be difficult to advance from the early-stage Grandmaster to the late-stage Grandmaster within a few months!
This was something that cultivators and any other power system were far inferior to.
Moreover, professionals tended to experience rapid growth in strength when they were young.
Like Yu Yan, who was at the Grandmaster level when he entered the Demon Suppression Pass to fight.
If he always charged to the front lines of battle, within a year, if he didn't perish, he would likely have a good chance of reaching the Heavenly King level!
"Speaking of which... the way professionals gain strength seems too easy..."
Su Xing frowned slightly.
He was no longer the ignorant little native who knew nothing about the world on Earth.
Su Xing's gaze had extended to the Three Thousand Worlds.
But even across the entire Three Thousand Worlds, apart from Earth, there was no other world where one could achieve such a rapid increase in strength.
Let alone the cultivation system of cultivators, where strength growth was gradual, even some "high martial arts" type medium-sized worlds wouldn't have such a fast rate of strength growth.
The "Blood Immortal Scripture" that Su Xing had seen in the Blood Demon Realm was already a sinister cultivation system that consumed lifespan, but even so, it was still far behind the "professional" system.
The most frightening thing was that, based on the growth rate of professionals on Earth, the planet should have already risen to the ranks of a Great World.
However, currently, the overall strength of Earth was only comparable to some of the lowest-level small worlds.
Furthermore, among the "professionals," not a single Immortal-level expert had appeared yet.
"There must be a reason for this..."
"Could it be related to the person in the Slaughter Battlefield?"
Su Xing's frown deepened. Blood Three had said that Earth, along with other worlds in this region, was a target of the Blood Moon.
But Su Xing currently had very little information about this aspect. Now, as he thought about it, the reasons couldn't help but fill him with dread.
Thinking of this, Su Xing suddenly asked Jin Congxue a question.
"Sister Xue, do you know how strong the strongest professional in our human race's history was?"
After hearing this, Jin Congxue's eyes flashed with a hint of reminiscence, and she said:
"I once read in the ancient records of the family that thousands of years ago, it seemed that the human race had given birth to professionals as powerful as gods! But for some reason, all of these powerful professionals disappeared later..."
Su Xing nodded slightly. Jin Congxue's words coincided with the information he had obtained in the Demon Suppression Pass.
So, Su Xing asked another seemingly random question.
"Sister Xue, were humans born with the power of professionals?"
Upon hearing Su Xing's question, Jin Congxue burst out laughing and casually said:
"You clearly haven't studied properly... It's all recorded in the history books of our human race!"
"The first professionals appeared ten thousand years ago! The reason for their appearance is unknown..."
"But at that time, alien races invaded, and the human race was almost wiped out. Later, it was precisely because of the emergence of professionals that the human race gradually gained the ability to fight against the alien races. It's been ten thousand years, hasn't it?"
After hearing Jin Congxue's words, Su Xing's heart trembled.
This seemingly insignificant piece of information had a significant impact on Su Xing.
Professionals weren't always present in human history!
They were a power that suddenly emerged ten thousand years ago!
"Ten thousand years ago... alien race invasion, according to this time, it seems to have appeared after the Blood Moon, right?"
Su Xing frowned slightly, a vague guess forming in his mind.
Professionals gained strength by killing monsters and acquiring "experience points."
It seemed like they were drawing power from slaughter!?
And the Blood Moon was located in a place called the Slaughter Battlefield!
Was there a connection between them!?
Based on the information Su Xing had currently obtained, he couldn't be sure.
"It seems that in the future, I'll have to inquire more about the Blood Moon... and the information related to Earth's professionals in the Three Thousand Worlds!"
Su Xing thought to himself.
He ate his meal absentmindedly.
After all, for Su Xing, for the first twenty years, professionals had been leveling up by killing monsters and gaining strength, a natural and self-evident existence in his mind!
Even the human race on Earth had always regarded this as a gift from the "will of the world."
But now, Su Xing suddenly felt that this "bestowed power" might be a scheme of some powerful being?
This couldn't help but cause a great shock to Su Xing's mind.
"Looking at it this way... my power doesn't come from the professional system, this seems like good news? At least, it reduces some potential risks..."
Su Xing muttered.
Soon, the meal was over. Su Xing took the new week's goods and returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
"The birth of professionals... the rivalry between powerful cultivators... perhaps we are just small pawns in their game!?"
"However, my current strength is still too low. Only by continuously improving my cultivation can I truly become the one who controls the game!"
A firm look flashed in Su Xing's eyes, and his desire to improve his strength intensified.
"Strength! In the end, it's all about strength!"
Su Xing clenched his fists. This feeling of his fate not being in his own hands was very unpleasant.
"Now that I have the simulated energy provided by the Great Xia military and the Tarot Society, I won't be short of energy for a long time!"
"I must improve my strength as quickly as possible! Perhaps after reaching the Immortal realm... I'll be able to break free from this chessboard and see the whole picture?"
...
Su Xing exchanged the new week's goods for simulated energy, adding nearly 200 million energy points.
Thus, Su Xing's total energy reached 1,225,890,000 points.
On January 27, 2025, New Era, Su Xing began a new round of simulation.
"Start simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 7,200 energy points, leaving 1,225,890,000 energy points remaining, and unlimited simulation attempts remaining.]
[Simulation start!]
[Spending 100,000 energy points to draw a purple talent, or 1 million energy points to draw a golden legendary talent, do you wish to draw?]
Su Xing didn't hesitate and silently thought:
"Draw a golden quality talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent, Miao Gu Master. The next chance to draw a golden quality talent is 40%...]
[Miao Gu Master]: Purple talent, Hundred Arts of Cultivation – Gu Insect Dao. You have a natural affinity for Gu insects, allowing you to accelerate their cultivation and excel at using them to kill enemies.
Seeing the newly drawn talent, Su Xing raised an eyebrow.
"Sure enough, I've gained another backup skill..."
The Gu Insect Dao was also one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation. Powerful Gu Cultivators were no less powerful than cultivators of the same level and often employed insidious and unpredictable methods.
But the only experience Su Xing had with the Gu Dao was the Blood Spirit Gu and the Gu insects Elder Long had used to torture him.
Su Xing didn't have the energy to delve into the Gu Insect Dao right now.
"This talent is still not worth choosing... However, this simulation should be a period of rapid strength growth!"
The corners of Su Xing's lips curled up slightly, as he already had a plan for this simulation.
Firstly, kill Elder Long again, refine the Nine Turns Pill, and rapidly increase his body refinement strength, guaranteeing that he reaches at least the fourth stage of the Primordial Origin Realm!
Secondly, find a way to accumulate more spirit liquid for future Nascent Soul cultivation! Perhaps even use the Spirit Vein Dragon to produce medium-grade spirit liquid!
Thirdly, find a way to refine a sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array. Combined with Su Xing's mutated Heaven Spiritual Root, his cultivation speed would be even slightly higher than a Super Spiritual Root!
His gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realize that you are in a simulation.]
[You disguise yourself and suppress your aura, and meet with Old Master Lu as agreed.]
[The transaction proceeds without any problems, and you obtain another 1,000 tons of third-order alien metal.]
[At the same time, Lu Yuanwu tells you that he is accelerating the elimination of the spies.]
[Ten days later, you have accumulated the Great Wisdom state buff, and you enter the Luo Tian Grand Assembly dungeon.]
Su Xing saw this and silently thought:
"Use the immersive simulation function... for 24 hours!"
[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation... Remaining energy 1,224,900,000 points.]
Su Xing entered the familiar Luo Tian Sect and then smoothly completed a series of tasks.
He entered the Scripture Pavilion and began learning the Puppet Dao from Ghost Granny.
...
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
A satisfied expression appeared on Su Xing's face, "Not bad, my understanding of the Puppet Dao has improved significantly. I estimate that with another round, I should be able to refine four Dan Puppets per week!"
Su Xing was quite pleased with this.
The faster the Dan Puppets were refined, the more there would be, and this meant that Su Xing's weekly acquisition of Fasting Pills and, consequently, energy would also increase!
His gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[A few days later, you meet Luo Shuyin as agreed.]
[Under Luo Shuyin's guidance, you successfully join the Descent Sect.]
[You quickly become a Descent Sect Protector and gain a large number of fanatical followers.]
[Within the Descent Sect, you continue to refine pills, and a year quickly passes...]
[In the second year, one day, you return to the Luo Tian Grand Assembly dungeon.]
"Use..."
[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation... Remaining energy 1,220,900,000 points.]
...
The immersive simulation quickly ended, and Su Xing returned to reality, satisfied:
"Good, I've successfully achieved my goal, and refining four Dan Puppets per week is now within reach!"
His gaze fell upon the simulation panel again.
[In the third year, you give all the 200,000+ pills you have refined to Lu Yuanwu.]
[You do not choose the Descent Sect but decide to implement your plan as soon as possible!]
[In the fourth year, you begin to gradually gather support within the sect and win over some elders and protectors.]
[You refine a large number of Spirit Concentration Pills for Luo Shuyin, helping her break through to the mid-Legendary stage.]
[In the fifth year, you order some trustworthy subordinates to spread rumors within the Descent Sect, hoping that you will replace the current leader of the Natural Faction.]
[Upon learning of this, the leader of the Natural Faction becomes hostile towards you.]
[In the sixth year, as your popularity within the sect grows, many sect members begin to only listen to your orders.]
[This makes the leader of the Natural Faction even more displeased with you.]
[You secretly remember this, waiting for the opportune moment to replace the leader of the Natural Faction.]
[In the seventh year, you finally seize an opportunity, and the leader of the Natural Faction angrily attacks you.]
[During the battle, you pretend to "accidentally" kill the faction leader.]
[Afterwards, the position of faction leader becomes vacant, and tens of thousands of Descent Sect members urge you to become the new faction leader.]
[Just as you are about to be successfully elected, Long Protector appears.]
[He has always disliked you, and he uses your lack of seniority as a reason to oppose your election as the leader of the Natural Faction.]
[Thus, the position of leader of the Natural Faction falls to Luo Shuyin.]
[While you are a little unhappy about this, you are not in a hurry.]
[Because Luo Shuyin is also your person, you tell her that she should cede the position of faction leader to you within two years.]
In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.
"I didn't expect that old dog Long would appear halfway... What a pity, I could have become the faction leader in seven years."
"Now, I can only wait for two years..."
Su Xing sighed lightly.
In this simulation, he had a bold idea.
If this idea could be successful, not only would he be able to travel to the Three Thousand Worlds, but he could also secretly obtain the Spirit Vein Dragon for himself!
[You do not immediately obtain the position of faction leader, but you are no longer willing to wait and prepare to immediately begin implementing your plan.]
[You first travel to the Wan Mu Sect ruins and kill Wan Mu Zhenren, obtaining all his magical treasures.]
[However, you do not immediately release the Spirit Vein Dragon but leave the ruins directly.]
[Upon returning to Earth, you deliberately return to the Descent Sect and take out the black piece of wood you obtained from Wan Mu Zhenren.]
[Sure enough, Elder Long notices this piece of wood!]
[Elder Long is a peak-stage Return to Void cultivator, only one step away from reaching the Nascent Soul stage!]
[And Nascent Soul cultivators need to comprehend Primordial Power.]
[The wood contains the Primordial Power of the Wood and Fire Dao, which is exactly what Elder Long desperately needs.]
[However, you are unwilling to give this piece of wood to Elder Long under any circumstances.]
[Elder Long bears a grudge against you, and finally... one day, he attacks you!]
[Elder Long's attack is exactly what you want, but you know that if you two fight, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties among the civilians of Great Xia.]
[So you fight while retreating, moving the battlefield to a deserted wilderness outside of Great Xia.]
[You and Elder Long fight for a day and a night, and finally, you sever his dragon head with a sword.]
[After doing this, you destroy the transmission jade slip and then skin and dissect Elder Long, collecting his flesh.]
[Elder Long possesses True Dragon bloodline, and his flesh and blood essence are even better than that of ordinary Demon Emperors.]
[You extract Elder Long's blood and essence and prepare to refine a higher-level Rebirth and Transformation Pill.]
[Your mastery of the Rebirth and Transformation Pill has reached perfection, so the grade of the medicinal herbs is higher, but you need to find more suitable auxiliary herbs to neutralize the medicinal properties.]
[Thus, you experiment for two months and finally refine the Rebirth and Transformation Pill using the dragon's flesh.]
[From one dragon corpse, you refine a total of 500 Rebirth and Transformation Pills, enough for you to consume for several years.]
[The effects of this pill are excellent. After consuming it, your body refinement cultivation progresses rapidly, approaching the third stage of the Primordial Origin Realm every day.]
[In the eighth year, your cultivation is close to the third stage of the Primordial Origin Realm. According to your prediction, once you consume all the Rebirth and Transformation Pills, you will be able to advance to the third stage of the Primordial Origin Realm!]
[In the same year, your Spirit Awakening Flower matures, and you begin to attempt refining the Spirit Awakening Pill.]
[A month later, you successfully refine a Spirit Awakening Pill with an excellent appearance, and you also accumulate a month's worth of Great Wisdom state buff.]
[You prepare to use this time to try and comprehend the miniature spirit gathering array to the sixth order!]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly and muttered:
"After entering the Nascent Soul stage, cultivation becomes increasingly difficult... And my mutated Heaven Spiritual Root doesn't give me much of an advantage compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators..."
"The reason why my cultivation level can increase so quickly in the simulation is entirely due to the accumulation of resources!"
"A personal medium-grade cave heaven... tens of millions of drops of spirit liquid, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Without these resources, I might not be able to increase my cultivation level by one stage in a single simulation!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued:
"Therefore, the miniature spirit gathering array becomes particularly important at this stage!"
"A sixth-order spirit gathering array, automatically operating for twelve hours a day, absorbs spiritual energy at a rate equivalent to a Heaven Spiritual Root! This can almost increase my cultivation speed by 50%!"
"Therefore, it's crucial for improving my Qi Refinement cultivation in the future!"
After all, even a true Heaven Spiritual Root cultivator, no matter how diligent, couldn't cultivate continuously for twelve hours a day.
But Su Xing's miniature spirit gathering array could operate automatically as long as he was within the Spirit Field Cave Heaven!
The benefits were self-evident!
However, Su Xing faced a problem. Each time he simulated, he could only bring out two rewards at most.
For example, if he comprehended the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array and then brought out his body refinement cultivation level, he wouldn't be able to bring out the spirit liquid obtained in this simulation...
Therefore, Su Xing came up with a new method!
"Use the immersive simulation function, for a duration of... thirty days!"
[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation, spending 72 million energy points, leaving 1,148,090,000 energy points remaining.]
That's right, Su Xing's plan was to use the immersive simulation to comprehend the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array!
If it were an ordinary time, Su Xing would likely need ten years to comprehend the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array.
The energy he would need to spend would be astronomical!
But things were different now. With the Spirit Awakening Pill and the Great Wisdom talent, he had a 120-fold increase in comprehension!
This allowed Su Xing's one-month epiphany to be equivalent to ten years!
Since using the Spirit Awakening Pill, Su Xing had had this idea.
Spending 72 million energy points on a one-month immersive simulation was a worthwhile investment.
After all, Su Xing was personally experiencing the immersive simulation, and the memories could be directly brought out.
"What's more, it would likely cost more than 72 million energy points just to bring out the comprehension of the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array, right?"
The corners of Su Xing's lips curled into a smile.
He was close to comprehending the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array and confident that he could complete it within ten years!
...
The scene before Su Xing's eyes changed, and he entered the simulated space.
Su Xing was still in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, but there were many more spirit chickens and spirit carps, and the Living Dead Puppet, Xiao Mei, had also advanced to the peak of the Yuan Ying stage, close to the Transformation stage!
"Only one month, let's begin!"
Su Xing swallowed the Spirit Awakening Pill in his hand and then activated the Great Wisdom state!
In just a few breaths, Su Xing felt his intelligence and comprehension increase by hundreds of times!
Problems that were difficult to understand in the past became easily solvable at this moment.
"Hmm, although it's not as good as an epiphany... but this level of comprehension is still considered heaven-defying!"
Su Xing said calmly.
He didn't want to waste any more time and quickly began studying the miniature spirit gathering array.
He took out the materials specifically for carving miniature spirit gathering arrays.
Su Xing first attempted it on a spirit carp.
With a thought, the spirit carp's spiritual energy circulation route became clear in Su Xing's eyes.
Su Xing began to try carving the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array...
In one day, Su Xing tried dozens of times, but they all failed.
"Sure enough, the spirit carp is still too weak, I should try a stronger life form..."
Su Xing turned his gaze to the spirit chickens in the chicken coop.
In the simulation, it was about ten years in the future, and the spirit chickens had already reproduced for twenty generations.
With the large consumption of spirit rice, Su Xing's spirit chickens had completely become spirit pets.
To put it bluntly, even some peak-stage Qi Refinement cultivators might not be a match for Su Xing's chickens.
He extended a hand, using his spiritual energy to pull a chicken over and grab it.
The spirit chicken immediately squawked in fright, its feathers flying everywhere.
Su Xing frowned slightly at the chicken feathers, then used his divine sense to intimidate the chicken and plucked all its feathers.
The feathers fell to the ground, revealing white chicken skin, and Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
This made it much easier for Su Xing to carve the miniature spirit gathering array onto the spirit chicken.
...
Half an hour later, the spirit chicken in Su Xing's hand exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
"What a pity..."
Su Xing sighed lightly, unsure whether he was lamenting the failure of the array or the wasted chicken meat.
He looked at the remaining spirit chickens in the chicken coop, hundreds of them trembling in fear...
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed...
Hundreds of spirit chickens had died under Su Xing's hands, and only a few remained in the once-noisy chicken coop.
Three of the spirit chickens had the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array carved onto their backs!
"Whew~ Half a month of array comprehension... equivalent to five years of normal array practice!"
"I've finally reached the threshold of the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array!"
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
But the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array wasn't fully mastered yet.
Su Xing had only managed to carve it onto the spirit chickens.
Compared to humans, the spiritual energy circulation route of chickens was much simpler.
Next, Su Xing needed to take it a step further!
Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to Xiao Mei, the puppet cultivator who was close to the Transformation stage.
In just ten years, she had grown from a peak-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to a peak-stage Yuan Ying cultivator.
This speed was far faster than Su Xing's back then.
Of course, Su Xing didn't have an aptitude comparable to a Heaven Spiritual Root back then, nor did he have the privilege of cultivating in a medium-grade cave heaven.
"It's just a pity that although Xiao Mei has become a peak-stage Yuan Ying puppet cultivator, she still doesn't have independent consciousness..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly and beckoned Xiao Mei over.
Then, he began to try carving the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array onto her.
Spirit ink, spirit brush... array materials...
Su Xing's divine sense carefully sensed the circulation route of spiritual energy within Xiao Mei's body.
Then, his brush moved with elegance and precision, each step perfectly executed...
Thus, after several hours.
Su Xing smiled knowingly and nodded with satisfaction.
"The sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array, it's done!"
With a thought from Su Xing, his spiritual energy flowed to his eyes, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged towards Xiao Mei's dantian at an alarming rate.
The sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array was at least 50% more effective than before!
"Not bad, although puppet cultivators are different from cultivators, the overall principles are similar... With a few minor modifications, I'll be able to carve the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array onto myself!"
Su Xing muttered.
Over the next day, Su Xing didn't continue practicing the array but instead adjusted his spiritual energy and mental state to their peak.
For a Nascent Soul cultivator, carving a sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array wasn't easy.
A day later, Su Xing began to try carving the sixth-order miniature spirit gathering array onto himself.
The entire process went smoothly without any unexpected problems.
After all, Su Xing had already succeeded several times, experimenting with spirit carps, spirit chickens, and puppets before finally attempting it on himself.
Su Xing closed his eyes and felt the automatic operation of the miniature spirit gathering array in his dantian. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said:
"Not bad, after setting up this array, my spiritual energy absorption speed has increased by about 30-40%... and the automatic operation of the array may bring even greater benefits!"
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, there were about fourteen days left before the immersive simulation ended and the effects of the Spirit Awakening Pill wore off.
Su Xing planned to do one last thing in these fourteen days.
Refine the Nine Turns Pill!
With practiced ease, he took out the pill furnace, added the medicinal herbs, and then activated the Leaving Fire Technique...
At the appropriate moment, Su Xing added the dragon pearl he obtained from Elder Long.
...
Thus, fourteen days passed slowly.
At one point, Su Xing had a sudden epiphany, and the pill furnace opened, revealing the pill!
From the ancient pill furnace, a round pill slowly formed, finally falling into Su Xing's hand, enveloped in spiritual energy.
It was the Nine Turns Pill!
Holding the Nine Turns Pill, Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, the quality of this Nine Turns Pill is much higher than before!"
Su Xing wasn't in a hurry to consume the pill.
He planned to keep it and consume it after reaching the third or even fourth stage of the Primordial Origin Realm, to break through to the next stage in one fell swoop!
...
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
The memories from this month's simulation were still fresh in his mind.
Su Xing's comprehension of the miniature spirit gathering array and the refinement of the Nine Turns Pill had both reached a new level.
"Excellent! Not only did I save a simulation reward choice, but I also saved hundreds of millions of energy points that I would have spent on bringing out rewards!"
"It seems that I need to make good use of the Spirit Awakening Pill in the future!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze falling upon the simulation panel.
[After consuming the Spirit Awakening Pill, your comprehension of the miniature spirit gathering array and the refinement of the Nine Turns Pill has improved further.]
[For the next year, you continue to consume the Rebirth and Transformation Pills every day, striving to improve your body refinement cultivation.]
[In the ninth year, your cultivation reaches the latter half of the second stage of the Primordial Origin Realm, not far from the third stage.]
[In the same year, you take over the position of leader of the Natural Faction from Luo Shuyin.]
[After becoming the faction leader, you further expand your influence within the sect with your "Success Master" talent.]
[And everything you do is just to wait for Blood Three's appearance...]
[In the tenth year, one day, you are in the Descent Sect as usual.]
[A figure appears behind you without warning.]
[It is Blood Three, whom you have been waiting for!]
[Just like before, Blood Three inquires about Elder Long's whereabouts.]
[You, as always, state that Elder Long killed and robbed, and was eventually killed by you.]
[When Blood Three becomes angry, you reveal your identity in time.]
[Sure enough, Blood Three frowns after hearing this, and then uses his hand to capture several Heavenly King-level elders and performs soul searching.]
[From the memories of these elders, the information he obtains is largely consistent with what you said.]
[This makes Blood Three fall silent.]
[Because the Descent Sect needs a spokesperson on Earth to regularly transmit signals to him.]
[And Elder Long is now dead, making you the best candidate.]
[This makes it difficult for Blood Three to easily kill you, so he reveals his identity.]
[After hearing Blood Three reveal his identity, you activate your acting skills.]
[From confusion and shock to fear and respect...]
[The entire process lasts for a few minutes, and the appropriate changes in your facial expressions are enough to win you an Oscar.]
[Then, you grit your teeth and take out the treasure you obtained, the charred branch of the Primordial Fusan Divine Tree!]
[Sure enough, Blood Three's eyes light up after seeing this tree branch.]
[This branch contains the comprehension of the Wood and Fire Dao, and it has many benefits even for those beyond the Immortal realm!]
[Even in the Three Thousand Worlds, this branch is incredibly precious.]
[Thus, Blood Three readily takes the branch and then carefully observes you.]
[Unsurprisingly, he discovers your personal Spirit Field space, sighing that you are also a person with great opportunities.]
[However, personal space is no longer attractive to cultivators like him.]
[He states that the branch is of great use to him and asks what reward you desire.]
[You quickly state that you hope to obtain an opportunity to travel from Earth to the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[After hearing your words, Blood Three ponders for a moment and then takes out a通行证 [pass] and a transmission jade slip and hands them to you.]
[He states that you should report on Earth's intelligence to him every year, and after ten or so years, you will be able to leave this world.]
[You quickly nod in agreement.]
[Blood Three is very satisfied with your attitude and tears open a spatial rift, leaving Earth...]
In the real world, Su Xing saw the simulation text and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I finally managed to fool that Blood Three!"
"So, next, the Spirit Vein Dragon... shouldn't be discovered, right?"
Su Xing felt a sense of anticipation.
It was only the tenth year of the simulation, and there were still eighteen years before Earth's destruction!
In these eighteen years, Su Xing could completely obtain more low-grade and even medium-grade spirit liquid with the help of the Spirit Vein Dragon!
Once he brought them out, Su Xing's future Nascent Soul cultivation would undoubtedly become much smoother!
"My strategy is called cutting off the tail to save myself!"
"Although that black tree branch is also precious, its current usefulness to me is far less than the Spirit Vein Dragon... This choice is excellent!"
Su Xing expressed his satisfaction.
Next, Su Xing only needed to bring out the Spirit Vein Dragon, place it in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, and collect spirit liquid regularly.
In addition, Su Xing also needed to find a way to further improve his body refinement cultivation and reach a stronger level as quickly as possible!
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[After Blood Three leaves, you breathe a sigh of relief.]
[For the next month, you stay in the Descent Sect, and after confirming that there are no problems, you return to the Wan Mu Sect ruins.]
[This time, you release the Spirit Vein Dragon trapped in the formation and guide it into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.]
[Elder Long's soul has already been destroyed, and Blood Three is far away in the Three Thousand Worlds, so he's unlikely to sense the Spirit Vein Dragon's aura.]
[Thus, you allow the Spirit Vein Dragon to settle down in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven with peace of mind.]
[Over the past ten years, you have accumulated 2 million drops of low-grade spirit liquid and haven't used any of it.]
[In the eleventh year, the appearance of the Spirit Vein Dragon undoubtedly further increases the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave heaven.]
[The number of low-grade spirit liquid drops produced in your cave heaven reaches over 5,000! Nearly 300,000 drops of low-grade spirit liquid are produced annually!]
[What excites you even more is that medium-grade spirit liquid finally begins to be produced in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven each year, about 50,000 drops!]
[And 50,000 drops of medium-grade spirit liquid are equivalent to 500,000 drops of low-grade spirit liquid!]
[Thus, your cultivation resources increase at an astonishing rate each year!]
[You don't intend to use these resources but plan to extract them all at once for later use.]
[Moreover, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, you won't be able to focus on both body refinement and Qi Refinement cultivation at the same time, as the efficiency would be too low!]
[Thus, two years pass slowly.]
[During these two years, you report intelligence to Blood Three every year.]
[Of course, he only knows the information you want him to know.]
[In the thirteenth year, you consume all the Rebirth and Transformation Pills refined from dragon flesh, and your cultivation naturally reaches the third stage of the Primordial Origin Realm!]
[Upon reaching the third stage of the Primordial Origin Realm, your strength increases by about two or three times.]
[You only need to break through one more stage to reach the mid-Primordial Origin Realm! At that time, your strength will increase by over 50%!]
[But now, you face a new problem: the Rebirth and Transformation Pills are gone...]
[Legendary-grade Rebirth and Transformation Pills are no longer of much use to you. Only those refined from Demon Emperor blood and essence can allow you to break through further!]
[Perhaps you have another option: consume that Nine Turns Pill, which will definitely help you break through to the fourth stage of the Primordial Origin Realm!]
[But after some hesitation, you decide to wait until your body refinement cultivation truly plateaus before consuming it, maximizing the effects of the Nine Turns Pill!]
[To break through further, you must obtain Demon Emperor blood and essence.]
[Thus, you set your sights on the three Demon Emperors in the Beast Taming World's Slaughter Battlefield...]
