Chapter 241: Understanding the True Meaning of the Sword, Achieving the Combat Power of a Transcendent Cultivator! (Two-in-one, begging for monthly tickets~)
In the real world, Su Xing looked at the text in front of him and fell into deep thought.
It was clear that bringing the Qingyun Token or not would have an impact.
"If I bring the Qingyun Token, I can go straight to the Qingyun Sect. If Qingyunzi has no ill intentions towards me, I might soar to the heavens!"
"But bringing the Qingyun Token has certain risks. I'm not sure if they have something like a body search. If they find my Qingyun Token, I might be doomed…"
Thinking about this, Su Xing felt conflicted for a moment.
Risk and reward are often proportional!
If he didn't bring the Qingyun Token, even if he arrived in the Small Qingyun Realm, he might not be able to grow quickly with the resources he had…
Thinking of this, Su Xing made up his mind and said:
"If that's the case, then I'll take a gamble! If I can successfully bring the Qingyun Token out, then I'll take off!"
It was only a simulation, and Su Xing was prepared to gamble.
His eyes looked at the simulation panel.
[After much deliberation, you decide to risk bringing the Qingyun Token out.]
[You use your Yuan Qi to cut open a wound in your abdomen and hide the Qingyun Token inside.]
[Then you use the Heavenly Mechanism Shielding Technique and set up layers of restrictions.]
[You are confident that even a Transcendent Stage cultivator's Divine Sense wouldn't be able to detect the anomaly inside your body.]
[After making your preparations, you go to meet Song Lao Wu as planned.]
[The agreed meeting place is outside a forbidden area at the back of the mountain valley. Hardly any cultivators go there.]
[You soon see Song Lao Wu and a mysterious figure in a black robe.]
[The mysterious figure in the black robe isn't wearing a mask, but you can't see his face.]
[The mysterious figure has an aura as deep as an abyss, making him hard to discern.]
[But judging from Song Lao Wu's reaction, he is extremely respectful, even slightly fearful, of the mysterious figure…]
[Seeing you arrive, Song Lao Wu quickly whispers something to the mysterious figure.]
[The mysterious figure nods slightly and throws a black robe towards you.]
[You hear the mysterious figure's voice: "Put it on."]
[Without hesitation, you put on the black robe, curious about how the mysterious figure will take you out of the valley.]
[But the mysterious figure simply tells you to follow behind him and not speak.]
[You do as you are told.]
[The mysterious figure leads you all the way to the forbidden area at the back of the mountain, without anyone stopping you.]
[Not long after, you arrive at a place that looks like an exit to the valley.]
[There are many cultivators with terrifying strength guarding here.]
[These cultivators show respect and reverence when they see someone.]
[You see the mysterious figure presenting a token with the words "Ninety-Nine" engraved on it!]
[In an instant, you form a judgment about the mysterious figure's identity! A high-ranking figure in the Descending Sect, the Blood Ninety-Nine!]
[At the same time, you also realize that this Blood Ninety-Nine is likely the backing behind the Song brothers.]
[Following behind Blood Ninety-Nine, you easily leave the valley and arrive in the Ten Thousand Mountains outside.]
[Blood Ninety-Nine uses his spiritual energy to grab you in his hand. Then his figure becomes like a ghost, flying away. In just a moment, you arrive miles away.]
[There's no one else in these mountains. Blood Ninety-Nine starts demanding the rest of the spirit stones from you.]
[You don't hesitate and take out another hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers and give them to Blood Ninety-Nine.]
[During this time, you keep your eyes on him, but he doesn't show any signs of leaving.]
[As you expected, he asks you to hand over your storage bag for him to inspect.]
[You feel a chill in your heart, but you clearly sense that you have no power to resist in front of Blood Ninety-Nine.]
[So you grit your teeth and hand over the storage bag.]
[Inside the storage bag, besides the spirit stones and magic treasures, the most precious thing is the remaining hundred-plus Gathering Spirit Flowers.]
[After checking the storage bag, Blood Ninety-Nine's eyes light up. He takes the storage bag for himself.]
[During this time, you remain silent, but you secretly make a note of this person.]
[You only pray that Blood Ninety-Nine will keep his promise and let you go. Even if you lose all your treasures, with that token, you have a chance to rise again.]
[But you didn't expect that after taking your storage ring, Blood Ninety-Nine had no intention of letting you go.]
[A terrifying wave attacks you. You try your best to activate your Primal Energy to resist.]
[But the difference in strength is too great…]
[Before you die, you only have one thought in your mind: Immortal Realm!]
[A Blood character cadre, numbered Ninety-Nine, in the Descending Sect, actually already possesses the strength of an Immortal!]
[You are easily blown to pieces by Blood Ninety-Nine, your soul destroyed…]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
In the real world, Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him and was speechless.
"Damn it, it turns out that this Blood Ninety-Nine never intended for me to leave alive!"
"Little master was still thinking about whether to bring the Qingyun Token…"
A flash of hatred passed through Su Xing's eyes.
This was Su Xing being tricked. The other party simply wanted to slaughter a fat sheep, without any intention of trading.
"But… why did this Blood Ninety-Nine take such a risk to try to make a quick buck?"
Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly.
Even for a numbered cadre, casually killing a Blood seedling candidate seemed inappropriate.
Unless… this Blood Ninety-Nine was desperate!
He urgently needed a huge sum of spirit stones!
"So… is this Blood Ninety-Nine preparing to break through?"
Su Xing thought thoughtfully. The most common reason for cultivators needing a large amount of spirit stones was a breakthrough in realm.
"But this Blood Ninety-Nine is already in the Human Immortal Realm… Could he possibly break through to the Earth Immortal?!"
Su Xing was shocked, raising the overall strength of the Descending Sect by another level.
"It's just a pity… I couldn't leave the valley again in this simulation…"
"It seems that I can't go outside the Small Qingyun Realm for a while… If I want to reach the outside as soon as possible, I need to improve my body cultivation and traverse the void!"
Su Xing took a deep breath and had plans for his next goal.
"But fortunately, I have the Nine Transformation Pill from Old Dragon Dog, plus the transactions in the valley. I can break through at least two body cultivation realms at a time!"
"So, the Great Completion of Body Cultivation is not far away!"
"Then I'll find a way to improve my protective罡气… Maybe I can pass through the void currents and reach another passage in that strange space!"
Su Xing had a vague feeling that the black passage was the true path to the Small Qingyun Realm!
And the Descending Sect's passage was probably only temporarily opened…
"But for now, I'll choose the simulation reward!"
Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[Seedling of the Miao Gu]: Purple Talent, price 1 million energy points.
[Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, your existing alchemy comprehension will increase slightly, price 10 million energy points.
[Mixed Yuan Realm Fifth Stage Cultivation]: Break through Mixed Yuan, break through illusions, your body and strength will enter a new stage, outstanding Mixed Yuan Realm cultivators can briefly traverse the void. Price 1.5 billion energy points.
[8 million drops of Low-Grade Spirit Liquid, 900,000 drops of Medium-Grade Spirit Liquid]: Price 1.7 billion energy points.
"Although I couldn't go to the Small Qingyun Realm… the gains from this simulation are undoubtedly amazing!"
Su Xing muttered.
Besides the items on the reward list, Su Xing had many other gains.
For example, comprehension of the Puppet Dao, the Burning Life Technique, a Sixth-Grade Miniature Gathering Spirit Formation, various information… and other memory-related rewards.
Compared to before, now that Su Xing had ample simulation energy.
The rewards he got from the reward list alone might only account for half. The other half was the memories he gained through immersive simulation, which was equally important!
"But this time, the simulation rewards I want are body cultivation and spirit liquid…"
"A total of 3.2 billion energy points are needed, but I only have 1.1 billion energy points on hand…"
Su Xing decided to wait for a while. Today, he would trade with Lu Yuan Wu first, gaining another 2 billion energy points.
Plus the goods from this week, he would barely be able to exchange for these two items.
Thinking of this, Su Xing glanced at the time, guessing that Lu Yuan Wu might have already reached the agreed meeting place.
So Su Xing didn't hesitate and began to disguise himself and conceal his aura, flying towards the meeting place.
In the nameless mountains, Lu Yuan Wu waited anxiously.
Su Xing slowly appeared and said:
"The strange metal for this week, is it ready?"
Lu Yuan Wu's face lit up when he heard the voice. He quickly handed over a storage ring and said:
"Senior! One thousand tons of third-order strange metal, it's all here!"
Su Xing took the storage ring and directly exchanged it for simulation energy.
Thus, 2 billion simulation energy points were in hand, without leaving any trace.
Then Su Xing handed Lu Yuan Wu 10,000 Refining Fetus Pills and turned to leave.
Along the way, Su Xing was cautious, changing his appearance several times before returning to the Kyoto Academy and entering the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
"Not bad, I'm only one billion energy points away from exchanging for the rewards from this simulation…"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, deciding to refine puppets for a week first, and then officially exchange for the rewards after seven days.
"But before that, it's time to inscribe the Sixth-Grade Miniature Gathering Spirit Formation!"
Su Xing muttered, then summoned the puppet cultivator Xiao Mei and inscribed the Sixth-Grade Miniature Gathering Spirit Formation in her dantian.
The whole process lasted for about several hours.
Without any accidents, Su Xing successfully inscribed the formation.
Thus, Xiao Mei's cultivation speed would surpass that of a Heaven Spirit Root cultivator in the future!
After doing all this, Su Xing spent the next week refining three more puppets.
They were named Dan Sixteen, Dan Seventeen, and Dan Eighteen.
Thus, with eighteen puppets, they would automatically refine 9,000 Fasting Pills every week!
During this time, Su Xing also found time to inscribe a Sixth-Grade Miniature Gathering Spirit Formation for himself.
This made the speed of Su Xing's Qi cultivation increase again by a small margin.
Time quickly passed to February 3rd. Su Xing was ready to meet with Jin Cong Xue as planned.
This meeting ended quickly. After getting the goods for the new week, Su Xing couldn't wait to go back and improve his cultivation.
So Jin Cong Xue rolled her eyes playfully and watched Su Xing leave early.
Back in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing immediately took out the goods and exchanged for another 200 million energy points!
At this point, Su Xing's total energy points were finally enough to exchange for the two rewards from this simulation.
"I choose to exchange for spirit liquid… and Mixed Yuan Realm Fifth Stage cultivation!"
Su Xing said without hesitation.
[Ding, you have successfully brought out 8 million drops of Low-Grade Spirit Liquid, 900,000 drops of Medium-Grade Spirit Liquid, spending 1.7 billion energy points. Remaining energy points: 1.65969 billion.]
[You have successfully brought out Mixed Yuan Realm Fifth Stage cultivation, spending 1.5 billion energy points. Remaining energy points: 159,690,000.]
As the simulation prompt sounded, a mysterious energy entered Su Xing's body.
The first thing Su Xing sensed was the guarantee of his strength and aura!
Mixed Yuan Realm Second Stage… Mixed Yuan Realm Third Stage…
From the early stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm, he gradually advanced towards the peak of the early stage, then smoothly entered the Mixed Yuan Realm Fourth Stage, becoming a Mixed Yuan Realm mid-stage cultivator!
Not only that, after entering the Mixed Yuan Realm mid-stage, Su Xing's cultivation didn't stop there.
In the end, Mixed Yuan Realm Fifth Stage!
In just a few moments, Su Xing's strength had risen several levels!
"Not bad! A Mixed Yuan Realm Fifth Stage cultivator possesses close to four mountains of strength!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up. As he had expected.
According to this trend, after reaching the Mixed Yuan Realm Sixth Stage, Su Xing's pure physical strength should be close to five mountains of strength!
At that time, he would directly be comparable to a Mixed Yuan Realm Great Completion cultivator!
"It's just a pity that later-stage Mixed Yuan Realm cultivators generally have some comprehension of the Force Origin… otherwise, my advantage would be even greater!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
Cultivators who can reach the Unity and Mixed Yuan Realms are not simple.
Take the Unity Realm for example. Without a Nine Transformation Golden Pill, ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to reach the Unity Realm!
Therefore, the advantage of Su Xing's Nine Transformation Golden Pill was almost gone.
"But… a Superlative Nascent Soul still has some advantage in the Transcendent Stage… So in the same realm, in a pure Qi cultivation comparison, I still have few rivals!"
Su Xing muttered.
Su Xing had a solid foundation. Although he was only at the Unity Realm First Stage, if it was just a Qi cultivation technique comparison, ordinary Unity Realm First Stage cultivators wouldn't be his opponents.
Plus, Su Xing was at the Mixed Yuan Realm mid-stage, with four mountains of strength. Even Unity Realm late-stage or Great Completion cultivators, Su Xing wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage.
With the Heaven Sword Technique, the Spirit Explosion Technique, and the comprehension of the Force and Speed Dao, under the Transcendent Stage, Su Xing was invincible.
"Right… there's also the newly learned Burning Life Technique. I'll find time to learn it later. I'll have another trump card!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up.
Then, his gaze turned to a large wooden box in front of him.
Opening the box, rows of small porcelain bottles came into view.
A total of 8 million drops of Low-Grade Spirit Liquid, 900,000 drops of Medium-Grade Spirit Liquid!
Plus the 5 million drops of Low-Grade Spirit Liquid Su Xing had accumulated before.
The amount of spirit liquid Su Xing had reached an astonishing level!
"In the Small Qingyun Realm, ten drops of Low-Grade Spirit Liquid can easily be exchanged for a Low-Grade Spirit Stone. Ten drops of Medium-Grade Spirit Liquid can be exchanged for ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones…"
"So, just this spirit liquid is worth over two million spirit stones!"
Su Xing was quite satisfied with this.
Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to use this spirit liquid to exchange for spirit stones.
Spirit liquid was an excellent cultivation resource for him.
With this spirit liquid, he could guarantee that his cultivation speed in the Unity Realm wouldn't slow down, and might even be slightly faster than in the Returning Void Realm!
Su Xing put away all these resources and showed a satisfied smile.
Seeing that the next simulation time was approaching, Su Xing began to plan for his next simulation goal.
Now that he had ample spirit liquid, Su Xing's body cultivation and Qi cultivation would improve rapidly in the coming period.
But a person's experience is limited. A single simulation could only last at most thirty-five years. Su Xing couldn't do everything.
If he improved his body cultivation, his Qi cultivation would be difficult to improve…
After thinking for a while, Su Xing muttered.
"Currently, body cultivation is more important… regardless of whether my combat power in the Mixed Yuan Realm surpasses the Unity Realm…"
"Just to reach that black passage, I need to reach the Great Completion of Body Cultivation!"
Su Xing decided to first bring his body cultivation to the Great Completion of the Mixed Yuan Realm, and then consider improving his Qi cultivation.
"Besides… there's also the Heaven Sword Technique. I should also understand it properly! If I can reach the Great Completion level, that would be even better!"
"There's also the Burning Life Technique, which is a trump card for killing enemies across realms…"
Su Xing rubbed his temples. After coming into contact with the Three Thousand Worlds, he had gained a lot.
But Su Xing also became more aware of his shortcomings.
Listing out the areas that needed improvement layer by layer, seeing that the cooldown was over, Su Xing muttered:
"Start simulation!"
February 3rd, 2025, Su Xing began his 73rd simulation.
[Ding! This simulation consumes 7,300 energy points. Remaining energy points: 159,690,000. Remaining simulation times: unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Spend 100,000 energy points to draw a purple talent, spend 1 million energy points to draw a golden legendary talent. Do you want to draw?]
Su Xing didn't hesitate and silently said:
"Draw a golden quality talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent, Fatal Poison Master. The next chance to draw a golden quality talent is 50%…]
[Fatal Poison Master]: Purple Talent, your talent in poison concoction and poison-type techniques far surpasses ordinary people. You can quickly learn and master profound poison techniques.
"As expected, I still couldn't draw a golden talent…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, not surprised.
Based on his experience from the previous two draws, he had a higher chance of drawing one when the probability was above 60-70%.
"But this poison path suits my tastes… it's just a pity that it's come too late…"
Su Xing sighed. Poisoning was undoubtedly a very suitable method for being a coward, but unfortunately, Su Xing had limited energy and couldn't focus on studying it.
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realize that you are in a simulation.]
[You skillfully go to meet Lu Yuan Wu and trade. You don't encounter any problems during this time.]
[For the next ten days, you start accumulating the bonus from the Great Wisdom talent and prepare to go to the Heavenly Realm Assembly instance.]
[You enter the Heavenly Realm Assembly instance…]
"Use…"
[Immersive Simulation… Remaining energy points: 157,290,000.]
The immersive simulation ended quickly, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
As always, he learned the Puppet Dao. Now that he had abundant simulation energy, immersive simulation was almost always a choice for Su Xing.
[After some time, under the introduction of Luo Shu Ying, you join the Descending Sect.]
[With your outstanding strength, you gain the position of Protector and gain a large number of fans.]
[In the following two years, you continue to refine pills as usual.]
[In the middle, you go to the Heavenly Realm Assembly instance again.]
[In the third year, you hand over the more than 200,000 pills you've refined over the past two years to Lu Yuan Wu.]
[After that, you start to diligently cultivate your power within the Descending Sect.]
[In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.]
[In the fifth year, under your careful cultivation, your status within the Descending Sect becomes increasingly high.]
[At the same time, you've also been trying to comprehend the "Heaven Sword Technique," but it's been slow after reaching the Minor Completion level.]
[In the same year, Luo Shu Ying breaks through to become a Legendary mid-stage powerhouse. You have more than ten elders and Protector-level figures who support you within the Descending Sect camp…]
[In the sixth year, your body cultivation reaches the Mixed Yuan Realm mid-stage and then progresses slowly.]
[Even if you practice every day and occasionally take the Rebirth Pill, it's still almost stagnant.]
[You know that you need the blood essence of a Demon Emperor or Dragon to help you break through quickly.]
[You're not in a hurry, you just steadily cultivate the Heaven Sword Technique and improve your body cultivation, putting more effort into managing the Descending Sect.]
[In the eighth year, through your calculations, the current leader of the Natural faction is successfully replaced by you.]
[Although Old Dragon Dog strongly objects, you have bribed the leader of the Fanatical faction in advance, plus the support of many disciples. Old Dragon Dog can't cover everything.]
[In the ninth year, you start to find ways to get rid of Old Dragon Dog.]
[You go to the Wan Mu Sect ruins, kill Wan Mu Zhen Ren, and take out the branch of the Primordial Sun Mulberry Tree.]
[As expected, Old Dragon Dog wants to kill and steal the treasure.]
[You lead the battlefield to outside the Great Xia Realm and fight him for hundreds of rounds, successfully killing him.]
In the real world, Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
"Sure enough, after my strength increases… it's so satisfying to bully the weak!"
Su Xing sighed with emotion.
In the previous simulations, Su Xing was still far from Old Dragon Dog's opponent.
Later, when the Heaven Sword Technique reached Minor Completion, Su Xing could barely fight Old Dragon Dog on an equal footing, only being able to kill him at the cost of serious injuries.
Then, in the previous simulation, it took Su Xing a day and a night to kill Old Dragon Dog.
But now, Su Xing only needs hundreds of rounds to kill Old Dragon Dog.
"It seems that this little dragon's strength has been left behind by me!"
"Wait a little longer… when I get stronger, I'll be able to easily kill Old Dragon Dog!"
"Sure enough, steady management, those former strong enemies will eventually be trampled under my feet!"
Su Xing thought thoughtfully.
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[After killing Old Dragon Dog, you don't waste resources. You skin him and dissect him…]
[Then you use the Dragon Blood Essence to refine hundreds of Rebirth Pills.]
[You practice every day and take these pills. Your body cultivation progresses rapidly!]
[You don't rush to the Demon Beast Realm to kill enemies. You steadily cultivate and calmly wait for Blood Three's arrival.]
[In the tenth year, after taking the Rebirth Pills, your cultivation reaches the mid-stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm Fifth Stage.]
[In the eleventh year, your cultivation improves further, reaching the late-stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm Fifth Stage.]
[In the twelfth year, Blood Three arrives as you planned.]
[Although he's dissatisfied because you killed Old Dragon Dog, his attitude towards you softens after you present him with the branch of the Primordial Sun Mulberry Tree.]
[You act, successfully deceiving Blood Three and obtaining the pass.]
[After Blood Three leaves, you become the biggest leader of the Descending Sect on Blue Star.]
[In the thirteenth year, your cultivation is still stuck before the Mixed Yuan Realm Sixth Stage, but you don't plan to take the Nine Transformation Pill.]
[You start planning to acquire the blood essence of a Demon Emperor.]
[In the fourteenth year, you go to the Demon Beast Realm killing battlefield. You spend a year killing three Demon Emperors and hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts.]
[After that, you take the Demon Emperor Blood Essence and your cultivation improves.]
[In the blink of an eye, two years pass…]
[In the sixteenth year, your body cultivation finally improves, reaching the Mixed Yuan Realm Sixth Stage!]
[At this time, you have five mountains of strength. Your pure physical strength is comparable to a Mixed Yuan Realm Great Completion cultivator!]
[The only thing that disappoints you is that your comprehension of the Heaven Sword Technique has been slow…]
[So, another two years pass.]
[In the eighteenth year, you happen to see your younger sister Su Nian An practicing swordsmanship, and you suddenly feel inspired, entering a mysterious realm.]
[You trigger an accidental enlightenment!]
[In this mysterious comprehension, you seem to see the figure of an ordinary sword cultivator, practicing hard day after day for decades…]
[So, three days pass slowly…]
[Three days later, when you open your eyes again, your comprehension of the Heaven Sword Technique has reached the peak of the Minor Completion level!]
"Three days of enlightenment, equivalent to thirty years of comprehension… it only reached the peak of Minor Completion?"
Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly. This Heaven Sword Technique was even harder to cultivate than he imagined!
"But I still have a Spirit Awakening Pill. One month of cultivation is equivalent to ten years… counting the next ten-plus years of cultivation, I should be able to successfully bring the Heaven Sword Technique to the Great Completion level!"
Su Xing muttered, feeling a little excited.
"The Great Completion level Heaven Sword Technique, combined with the Mixed Yuan Realm late-stage cultivation… it's not a dream to fight across realms and defeat a Demon Saint!"
After many simulations, Su Xing finally had the confidence to deal with the Demon Saint at the Demon Suppression Pass!
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[After the Heaven Sword Technique makes progress, you clearly feel that your strength has risen to another level.]
[But you still diligently practice swordsmanship, hoping to cultivate it to the Great Completion level soon!]
[In the twentieth year, you not only consolidate your Mixed Yuan Realm Sixth Stage cultivation, but you also advance further, and you're not far from the mid-stage of the Sixth Stage.]
[You want to improve your cultivation to the peak of the Sixth Stage as much as possible. This way, after taking the Nine Transformation Pill, you can break through to the late-stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm Seventh Stage in one go!]
[Then, with the help of Song Lao Si's Breakthrough Pill, maybe your cultivation can reach the Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage!]
[In the twenty-first year, you continue to diligently cultivate the Heaven Sword Technique, getting closer and closer to the Great Completion of the Heaven Sword Technique.]
[In the twenty-second year, you accumulate three months of the Great Wisdom state bonus and prepare to try cultivating the "Burning Life Technique"! ]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded.
"Then I'll try it… use Immersive Simulation! Duration: one month!"
[Congratulations on using Immersive Simulation… Remaining energy points: 85,290,000.]
Su Xing's vision changed in front of him. A jade slip appeared in front of him, and he began to learn the Burning Life Technique.
In the blink of an eye, one month passed…
The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and muttered:
"It's a pity… I spent a month, combined with the Great Wisdom talent, and I only reached the Minor Completion level…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
The Minor Completion level Burning Life Technique could burn up to 500 years of lifespan to temporarily increase one's mana by four small realms.
This meant that Su Xing, a Unity Realm First Stage cultivator, would have the mana of a Unity Realm Fourth Stage cultivator.
"It's a pity that it needs to reach Great Completion to be able to burn a thousand years of lifespan at once… to fight across realms!"
"I originally thought I could save using a Spirit Awakening Pill, but I miscalculated!"
Su Xing sighed, feeling a little heartbroken.
To cultivate the Burning Life Technique to Great Completion, he still needed the combined effect of a Spirit Awakening Pill and the "Great Wisdom state."
"But this time, the Spirit Awakening Pill has a more important use!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[You're not satisfied with the progress of cultivating the Burning Life Technique, so you decide to stop cultivating it.]
[In the next two years, you continue to practice body cultivation and the Heaven Sword Technique every day.]
[In the twenty-fourth year, your body cultivation successfully breaks through to the mid-stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm Sixth Stage. The progress is slower than you expected.]
[In the same year, you start refining the Spirit Awakening Pill and the Nine Transformation Pill.]
[One month later, you successfully refine these two pills.]
[Because you've refined them twice before, the quality of the Nine Transformation Pill this time is even better.]
[In the twenty-fifth year, one day you feel inspired and perform a divination on yourself.]
[You vaguely smell birdsong and flowers coming from in front of you. You're in the Sound Valley, and you feel refreshed.]
[This is a great omen!]
[So you don't hesitate. You take the Spirit Awakening Pill, activate the Great Wisdom state bonus, and start trying to break through the Heaven Sword Technique…]
[One month passes slowly.]
[On the last day, at a certain moment, you have a flash of inspiration. Finally, after years of hard work, your Heaven Sword Technique successfully reaches the Great Completion level!]
[After the Heaven Sword Technique reaches Great Completion, you vaguely feel something different in your swordsmanship…]
[This is, Sword Intent!]
In the real world, Su Xing's eyes lit up when he saw this. He couldn't help but feel excited.
"Twenty-five years of hard work, with the help of enlightenment and the Spirit Awakening Pill, equivalent to fifty years of hard work, and finally the Heaven Sword Technique reaches Great Completion!"
Su Xing sighed in his heart.
This Heaven Sword Technique was truly difficult to cultivate.
With his natural sword body aptitude, it took him fifty years to cultivate.
If it were an ordinary sword cultivator, wouldn't it take thousands of years to reach this level?
"Although it was indeed difficult to cultivate… this Heaven Sword Technique is truly terrifying!"
"I actually comprehended the legendary Sword Intent!"
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Su Xing's eyes.
The Sword Intent in the cultivation world was different from the Sword Intent in the martial arts novels of Su Xing's previous life.
According to the information Su Xing obtained from the Luo Tian Sect:
Sword Intent is one of the most basic elements for constructing the Sword Dao, also known as the Sword Origin!
All Daos are constructed from several, even dozens of Origins!
Among them, the Sword Dao, besides the basic Force and Speed Origins… the most important is the Sword Origin!
It's no exaggeration to say that after comprehending the Sword Origin, Su Xing's future comprehension of the Sword Dao would be a sure thing!
"No wonder it's said that the Three Talismans Sword Technique is a peerless sword technique that leads directly to the Sword Dao. I'm afraid that after reaching the Great Completion level… one can truly become a Sword Immortal through the sword!"
A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Su Xing's eyes.
Even if he couldn't reach Great Completion, after comprehending the Sword Intent, Su Xing was confident that he could defeat a Transcendent Realm First Stage cultivator in the Mixed Yuan Realm late-stage!
"Then if I cultivate the Heaven Sword Technique to Great Completion… wouldn't I be able to defeat an Immortal at the peak of the Transcendent Realm?!"
Su Xing had a vague guess in his heart.
After the peak of the Transcendent Realm, there's another small realm before the Immortal Realm.
It's called the Tribulation Crossing Realm!
This realm surpasses the Transcendent Realm. It's a realm where one can trigger a Heavenly Tribulation at any time and ascend to become an Immortal!
Therefore, if one could truly defeat an Immortal at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, such a genius would probably be rare in the cultivation world for thousands of years!
"Whew… I can't get too carried away. The most important thing right now is to improve my cultivation…"
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[After the Heaven Sword Technique reaches Great Completion, your strength is invincible on Blue Star!]
[Even the Human Emperor at the peak of the Demon Suppression Pass wouldn't be your opponent.]
[But you are not arrogant or complacent. You know that there are even more terrifying enemies waiting for you in the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[So you try your best to improve your body cultivation, hoping to reach the peak of the Mixed Yuan Realm Sixth Stage as soon as possible!]
[So, three years pass slowly…]
[At the beginning of the twenty-eighth year, your body cultivation is still stuck at the mid-stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm Sixth Stage. You're only one step away from the late-stage.]
[But you know you can't wait any longer, so you prepare to take the Nine Transformation Pill.]
[One sunny morning, you take the Nine Transformation Pill and prepare to break through to the Mixed Yuan Realm Seventh Stage in one go!]
[Entering the Mixed Yuan Realm Seventh Stage, you become a Mixed Yuan Realm late-stage cultivator. There's a small bottleneck in the process, so it's more difficult to break through than usual.]
[But the Nine Transformation Pill's energy is abundant and pure. The energy continuously washes over your body…]
[So, one month later.]
[You successfully enter the Mixed Yuan Realm Seventh Stage and become a Mixed Yuan Realm late-stage cultivator!]
[To your surprise, the remaining energy from the Nine Transformation Pill almost makes you reach the latter half of the Mixed Yuan Realm Seventh Stage.]
[At this time, there are less than three months left until the Demon Saint's arrival.]
[You face two choices: stay at the Demon Suppression Pass to fight the Demon Saint… or go to the Three Thousand Worlds to participate in the Blood Seedling Competition and postpone it for seven years…]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and fell into deep thought.
"The Demon Saint at the Demon Suppression Pass… I'm not sure if he's a Demon Saint First Stage…"
"If he's a Demon Saint First Stage, I shouldn't be afraid! But after killing him, I'll probably be completely exposed and lose the chance to go to the Three Thousand Worlds."
"On the contrary, if I go to the Three Thousand Worlds, I can obtain the "Mysterious Body Pill" and try to break through to the Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage!"
Su Xing thought that if he wanted to maximize his gains, it was naturally better to improve his cultivation first.
Going to the valley where the Descending Sect was located would be more beneficial for improving his body cultivation!
But if he stayed on Blue Star, he could obtain more spirit liquid with the help of the Spirit Vein Dragon… which would be more beneficial for improving his Qi cultivation.
"This time, I'll improve my body cultivation first… After I reach the Great Completion of the Mixed Yuan Realm, then I'll fight that Demon Saint!"
Su Xing decided to wait for a while.
Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[After some deliberation, you decide to go to the Three Thousand Worlds to seek the opportunity to break through to the Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage.]
[After putting the Gathering Spirit Flower seeds inside your body, you're ready.]
[You go to the killing battlefield and rush towards the direction of the red moon.]
[After several days, you meet the Killing Messenger. After presenting your pass, you're allowed to enter that mysterious space.]
[Taking a deep look at the black passage in the distance, you know that the time is not yet ripe, so you enter the Descending Sect's temporary passage…]
[You experience a dizzying sensation and a tearing feeling from traversing the void, and you fall into a coma…]
[When you wake up again, you're already in a dilapidated room in the valley's gathering place. You have some injuries and bandages on your body.]
[After entering the Mixed Yuan Realm late-stage, your physical fitness has improved significantly.]
[Although you're still injured, with the "Indestructible Little Tough Guy" talent, you can recover from these injuries in ten days.]
[Ten days later, your injuries heal, and you start your old job… brothel bodyguard.]
[With the bodyguard's salary and robbing those unscrupulous "freeloaders," you quickly accumulate your first pot of gold.]
[You use this pot of gold to buy a mansion. After setting up a formation, you prepare to welcome the next Blood Seedling Competition.]
[In the twenty-ninth year, the Blood Seedling Competition is held as scheduled.]
[In this Blood Seedling Competition, you kill over a hundred Returning Void Realm cultivators. Although you perform outstandingly, you only become a Blood Seedling candidate.]
[But the spirit stones and resources accumulated by these cultivators also make you earn a lot.]
[You use these materials to exchange for a lot of blood
essence of Unity Realm Demon Beasts.
[In the following two and a half years, you cultivate Gathering Spirit Flowers and diligently improve your body cultivation.]
[In the thirty-first year, your cultivation finally reaches the late-stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm Seventh Stage.]
[So you find Song Lao Si and prepare to exchange for the "Mysterious Body Pill" needed for breaking through.]
[You exchange for the Mysterious Body Pill and other necessary resources from Song Lao Si.]
[Then you start preparing for the breakthrough to the Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage…]
[One month later, you successfully break through and become a Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage cultivator!]
[At this time, your pure physical strength is close to seven and a half mountains of strength, exceeding the usual limit for a Mixed Yuan Realm Great Completion cultivator.]
[Everything goes as you planned.]
[In the thirty-second year, a new Blood Seedling Competition is held as scheduled.]
[You maintain the status of a Blood Seedling candidate, adhering to the principle of living one more day. ]
[After this competition, Song Lao Si becomes a Blood Seedling. The new merchant Blood Song Lao Wu takes over his position.]
[You secretly guard against this Song Lao Wu, knowing that he's involved in black market deals.]
[You can't find a way to sneak out of the valley through Song Lao Wu, so you want to find another way.]
[You secretly observe the cultivators in the valley, hoping to find someone with a way to leave the valley.]
[And the remaining 400 Gathering Spirit Flowers in your storage ring are your biggest reliance.]
[In the thirty-fourth year, you've been searching diligently for two years in the valley, memorizing the figures of every cultivator who enters and exits.]
[But you sadly discover that all the cultivators who enter the valley have no way to leave.]
[There's only one way to leave, and that's to become a Blood Seedling and leave the valley!]
[At this time, there are less than six months left before the Blood Seedling Competition. You know that you're doomed in six months.]
[So you decide to take a gamble…]
[You spend 200 Gathering Spirit Flowers to exchange for some treasures that increase combat power from Song Lao Wu.]
[A sword-type magic treasure close to a Spirit Sword, several Eighth-Grade talismans that can trap Unity or even Transcendent cultivators, and some other auxiliary items.]
[After making these preparations, you adjust your strength to peak condition.]
[Since you're going to die in six months anyway, you might as well gamble…]
[You prepare to break out of the valley by force!]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 242: Mixed Yuan Realm Great Completion, Facing the Demon Saint! (10,000 words, begging for monthly tickets~)
Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him and furrowed his brows slightly.
"Can it really succeed… there are beings above the Immortal Realm guarding the Descending Sect valley!"
Su Xing felt that his simulated self making such a choice wouldn't be a simple suicide.
But the information provided by the simulation text was limited. Su Xing had to keep reading.
[After making your preparations, you don't rush to act.]
[Instead, you use the Heavenly Mechanism Shielding Technique and sneak into the forbidden area of the valley.]
[You secretly observe the passage leading out of the valley and discover that there are indeed cultivators guarding it.]
[But you're not completely powerless against these guards.]
[There are six cultivators guarding the passage. They take turns guarding it, changing shifts every three days. Each of them is a Transcendent Stage cultivator.]
[Based on your observations, you find that one group of guards is slightly weaker. They only have one Transcendent Early Stage and one Transcendent Mid-Stage guard.]
[If you face these two cultivators, you have a chance of escaping.]
"Transcendent Stage guards… this seems a bit weak?"
Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly. In theory, with the Descending Sect's strength, it wouldn't be difficult to assign guards at the Scattered Immortal level.
After thinking carefully, Su Xing gained some understanding.
"I was overthinking… most of the evil cultivators in this valley voluntarily enter…"
"Even if some cultivators regret it and want to escape, most of them are Nascent Soul or Returning Void Stage cultivators. They believe they can't become Blood Seedlings."
"But cultivators at the Transcendent Stage and above are almost certain to become Blood Seedlings. Therefore, they don't need to escape the valley… so guarding with Transcendent Stage cultivation is enough!"
After figuring this out, a glimmer of hope flashed in Su Xing's eyes.
If it was just two Transcendent Stage cultivators, Su Xing might actually be able to escape from the valley!
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[After making up your mind, you wait patiently for a month. One day, after the guards change shifts, you prepare to forcibly break through the passage.]
[You know that you only have one chance and you need to be quick. Otherwise, once the Blood character cadres in the Descending Sect intervene, you'll be doomed.]
[The two Transcendent Stage cultivators lean against the passage, casually chatting. For decades, there have never been any cases of defection from the valley.]
[You suppress your own aura, use the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique, completely shield your aura, and then quietly approach the two Transcendent Stage cultivators.]
[These two cultivators are still relaxed and don't notice your presence.]
[At this moment, you suddenly burst forth!]
[With a wave of your hand, you unleash your strongest move.]
[You activate the Sword Intent and simultaneously trigger the Force and Speed Origins you've comprehended. An incredibly terrifying sword energy strikes towards the cultivator with lower cultivation.]
[This attack catches him completely off guard!]
[The terror of the Heaven Sword Technique is fully displayed at this moment.]
[Under the powerful sword energy, the Transcendent Early Stage cultivator is instantly slashed with countless wounds. His body flies back like a broken kite.]
[Then, a faint light emerges from the shattered body…]
[The Soul Escapes!]
[With just one strike, you kill the Transcendent Early Stage cultivator, forcing his soul to escape.]
[At the same time, the other Transcendent Mid-Stage cultivator also reacts. A flash of panic crosses his eyes. He quickly forms hand seals and a fan-shaped magic treasure appears in his hand.]
[You don't hesitate. After attacking the Transcendent Early Stage cultivator, you take out two Eighth-Grade talismans and directly throw them at the Transcendent cultivator.]
[One Eighth-Grade Trapping Dragon Talisman and one Eighth-Grade Golden Blade Talisman.]
[These two talismans, one for control and one for attack, temporarily trap the Transcendent cultivator.]
[After dealing with the two guards, you don't hesitate and charge towards the passage. But you're blocked by an invisible energy.]
[You react quickly. You take a token from the Transcendent cultivator. With the token, you successfully escape from the valley.]
[As soon as you leave the valley, a terrifying aura comes from behind you. You feel a chill in your heart. You know that the top cultivators in the valley have reacted.]
[Several Transcendent Peak auras come from behind you, chasing after you from the valley.]
[You don't hesitate. You summon the magic treasure that's close to the level of a Spirit Sword, use the Sword Control Technique, and dive into the Ten Thousand Mountains in front of you.]
[The Great Completion level Sword Control Technique can travel 360,000 miles a day.]
[But after your Heaven Sword Technique reaches Transcendent Stage and you comprehend the Sword Intent, your speed doubles. You can travel 720,000 miles a day!]
[This speed has surpassed that of most Transcendent Stage cultivators…]
[In the blink of an eye, you've already traveled hundreds of miles away. But you don't slack off because the cultivators behind you are still in hot pursuit.]
[Hundreds of miles is just a moment for them.]
[The auras of the Transcendent cultivators behind you gradually become farther away, but you don't let your guard down because you know that there are still Immortal Realm cultivators in the valley.]
[You take out another Eighth-Grade Speed Talisman. After activating it, your Sword Control Technique speed increases by another 30%. You become a streak of light and flee into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[Your incredible speed quickly leaves the Transcendent cultivators chasing you behind.]
[You breathe a sigh of relief and fly towards the location of Qingyun City.]
[According to your information, Qingyun City is separated from this valley by the entire Ten Thousand Mountains. The journey is unknown. Even if you fly at full speed, it will take half a year to reach.]
[What's more, the Ten Thousand Mountains are sparsely populated, but the demon beasts are ferocious. These demon beasts are not from other races, but they still harbor hostility towards humans and will attack passing cultivators.]
[It's even said that there are powerful demon beasts above the Immortal Realm in the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[The auras chasing you from behind become farther and farther away, soon disappearing from your perception.]
[According to your deduction, if the Transcendent cultivators can't catch you, they'll probably send Immortal Realm cultivators to pursue you.]
[That will be your biggest challenge.]
[Thinking of this, you don't dare hesitate. You fly on your sword while using the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique to shield your Heavenly Mechanism and erase any traces left along the way.]
[So, several hours pass…]
[You're now tens of thousands of miles away from the valley, gradually entering the core area of the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[You vaguely hear demon beast roars from the mountains. You also sense the terrifying aura of flying demon beasts from afar. You're startled.]
[After hesitating for a moment, you think that flying on your sword is too conspicuous. It will not only attract the attention of the Descending Sect, but it will also be easier for the demon beasts along the way to discover you.]
[So you decide to hide in the Ten Thousand Mountains and travel on the ground, using the demon beasts along the way as cover to find a chance of survival.]
[Thinking of this, you transform into a streak of light and flee into the forest.]
[You release your Divine Sense. You immediately feel several demon beasts with terrifying auras within a thousand miles. The strongest one even has an aura that's no weaker than yours.]
[The demon beasts seem to sense your Divine Sense. You quickly retract it, only covering a thousand feet, guarding against sneak attacks. Then you dive into the forest and flee towards the depths of the mountains.]
[With the help of your "Seek Good Fortune and Avoid Misfortune" and "Divination" skills, you're able to avoid danger and stay away from the territories of powerful demon beasts.]
[After several days, you're more than 500,000 miles away from the valley.]
[During these days, you also occasionally sense that there are Transcendent Stage cultivators with powerful cultivation searching around. They seem to be members of the Descending Sect, looking for your whereabouts.]
[But after you use the Heavenly Mechanism Shielding Technique, even Transcendent Stage cultivators can't sense your whereabouts.]
[So, you travel in the Ten Thousand Mountains for over a month.]
[In this month, you kill many Unity Realm demon beasts and take their blood essence and demon pills. Your body cultivation improves slightly.]
[You're now gradually approaching the core area of the Ten Thousand Mountains. You even encounter a Demon Immortal above the Immortal Realm along the way.]
[Fortunately, they're not interested in a little guy like you, so you survive.]
[More than a month has passed since you escaped from the valley. You estimate that you've traveled close to a million miles.]
[But the ominous feeling in your heart, the warning from your "Seek Good Fortune and Avoid Misfortune" skill, makes your heart race. You don't dare stop.]
[But whenever you perform divination, you don't get any results.]
[You guess that the difference in strength between you and your enemy is too great, making divination useless.]
[So, you rush for several more days. You suddenly feel a cold wind blow past you from behind.]
[Your heart jumps in alarm. You turn around, and a figure in a black robe appears behind you.]
[A cadre of the Descending Sect, code name Blood Ninety-Nine!]
[An enemy close to the peak of the Human Immortal Realm. You know that you have no chance of winning.]
[So you don't hesitate. You immediately fly on your sword and flee towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[A playful smile appears on Blood Ninety-Nine's face, like a cat toying with a mouse.]
[He glances at you indifferently, indicating that your concealment technique is indeed good. You've been running around in the Ten Thousand Mountains, otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to escape until now.]
[But to him, you're still an ant.]
[He waves his hand and casts a spell. A blood-colored spiritual energy transforms into a giant hand and grabs towards you.]
[You know that you can only unleash your strongest attack against such a strong enemy.]
[So you grit your teeth and activate the Heaven Sword Technique again. The Sword Intent strikes towards the blood-colored hand.]
[However, the difference in strength is too great. The blood-colored hand only fades by a third. It still traps you firmly.]
[At this moment, a terrifying roar suddenly comes from afar, echoing through the forest. Birds and beasts are startled within ten thousand miles.]
[Blood Ninety-Nine, who was still calm, no longer hesitates. He reaches out his hand to grab you.]
[At the same time, a golden light rushes towards this place. In an instant, a majestic, ten-foot-tall white-browed tiger with bright eyes appears in front of you.]
[Seeing this tiger, Blood Ninety-Nine doesn't hesitate. He palms you to death and annihilates your soul…]
[You're dead!]
[Your talent, "Death Doesn't Close One's Eyes," activates!]
[You see the respectful way Blood Ninety-Nine treats the tiger. He calls this white-browed tiger with bright eyes "Tiger Immortal."]
[The Tiger Immortal says directly that cultivators above the Immortal Realm entering the core of the Ten Thousand Mountains is considered a provocation against their demon race.]
[But Blood Ninety-Nine says that this place is still thousands of miles away from the core. He hasn't entered it. Moreover, he came here only to kill the Descending Sect traitor.]
[The Tiger Immortal remains silent for a while, then spits out a mouthful of spiritual energy and takes your storage bag.]
[Blood Ninety-Nine's face changes slightly, obviously knowing that your storage bag contains many rare items like Gathering Spirit Flowers.]
[But facing the Tiger Immortal, he doesn't dare to be arrogant. He only bows slightly and quickly leaves the Ten Thousand Mountains, transforming into a streak of light.]
[After obtaining your storage bag, the Tiger Immortal takes out the Gathering Spirit Flowers and shows a satisfied expression. He leaves this place…]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ends, Su Xing can't hide the disappointment in his eyes.
"Damn it, I was so close… If I had escaped to the core area of the Ten Thousand Mountains, even the cadres of the Descending Sect wouldn't dare to pursue me…"
After a pause, Su Xing sighed:
"Sure enough, everyone below the Immortal Realm is an ant!"
"Even if I escape from the Descending Sect, there are dangers everywhere in the Ten Thousand Mountains. The possibility of successfully crossing them is not high…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly and fell into deep thought.
From the current perspective, once he entered the Descending Sect's passage, it was basically a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, or even a ten-out-of-ten chance of death. He could only gamble on the slim chance of escaping from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"Ultimately, it's still a mismatch between age and cultivation. My cultivation progresses too quickly… but it's almost impossible to change my age…"
Su Xing sighed.
Even using the Burning Life Technique only consumes his lifespan limit, not his age.
"So, from the current perspective, improving my body cultivation… and finding a way to cross the world through another passage is the best strategy!"
"Moreover, when my cultivation is strong enough, I can even protect my personal space. Then, I can bring ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers and cross the Small Qingyun Realm, free from the Descending Sect's restrictions… only then can I truly grow!"
Su Xing summarized the gains and losses of this simulation and looked at the reward list.
[Fatal Poison Master]: Purple Talent, price 1 million energy points.
[Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, your existing alchemy comprehension will increase slightly, price 10 million energy points.
[Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage Cultivation]: Break through Mixed Yuan, break through illusions, your body and strength will enter a new stage. Outstanding Mixed Yuan Realm cultivators can briefly traverse the void. Mixed Yuan Realm late-stage cultivators have incredibly strong bodies. Price 1.5 billion energy points.
[Three Talismans Sword Technique - Heaven Sword Chapter (Great Completion)]: Swordsmanship left behind by Sword Immortal Lü Dong. After reaching Great Completion, one can find the secrets of becoming a Sword Immortal through the sword. The Great Completion level Heaven Sword Technique, comprehending the Sword Intent, is one of the best swordsmanship techniques in the world, comparable to Transcendent Stage cultivators. Price 800 million energy points.
"The Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage cultivation and the Great Completion level Heaven Sword Technique are definitely the best choices…"
"But to exchange for these two rewards, I need 2.3 billion energy points… and I only have less than 10 million on hand…"
Su Xing calculated a little. To successfully bring out these two rewards.
After trading with Lu Yuan Wu, he would have to go to the Hundred Li Trading House again. The instance props from the past month or two should also be worth a few hundred million energy points. He should have enough by then.
Thinking of this, Su Xing didn't hesitate and immediately began to disguise himself and conceal his aura.
Half an hour later, Su Xing appeared in a mountain 800 miles outside Kyoto City.
Martial Emperor Lu Yuan Wu had been waiting for a long time.
He respectfully handed Su Xing the strange metal for the new week. Su Xing didn't waste time and handed over 10,000 pills before turning to leave.
After leaving Kyoto City, Su Xing changed his appearance again. He concealed his tracks all the way and finally flew to Guang Dong on his sword.
After taking out the instance props from the Hundred Li Trading House, Su Xing returned to Kyoto.
As Su Xing's speed got faster and faster, all this only took him less than half a day.
Back in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing exchanged the items he traded for into simulation energy.
Counting the remaining 80 million energy points, he had almost 2.4 billion energy points in total, just enough to exchange for the simulation rewards.
Su Xing muttered:
"Now I have 20,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills left… which is worth 4 billion energy points. It seems that I need to exchange for pills again next time. I need to bring more next time!"
Su Xing planned to go all out next time and bring out hundreds of thousands of pills directly.
After a pause, Su Xing looked at the reward list and decisively said:
"Exchange for Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage cultivation and the Great Completion level Heaven Sword Technique!"
[You have successfully brought out Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage cultivation, spending 1.5 billion energy points. Remaining energy points: 910,880,000.]
[You have successfully brought out the Three Talismans Sword Technique - Heaven Sword Chapter (Great Completion level), spending 800 million energy points. Remaining energy points: 110,880,000.]
The prompt sounded, and two streams of mysterious energy entered Su Xing's body.
Then, Su Xing's aura began to surge even further!
Mixed Yuan Realm Fifth Stage… Mixed Yuan Realm Sixth Stage… Mixed Yuan Realm Seventh Stage!
Finally, Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage!
In just a few breaths, Su Xing had directly jumped from a Mixed Yuan Realm mid-stage cultivator to a Mixed Yuan Realm late-stage cultivator!
After his cultivation skyrocketed, Su Xing closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, trying to adapt to his new power…
After a while, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes.
"Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage… close to eight mountains of strength… relying solely on my physical strength, Unity Realm or Mixed Yuan Realm Great Completion cultivators wouldn't be my opponents!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
He was confident that if he faced Old Dragon Dog again, he could kill him within dozens of rounds.
However, the biggest increase in Su Xing's strength this time wasn't the increase in cultivation, but the Great Completion level Heaven Sword Technique!
Su Xing's heart moved, and a small sword like the wind appeared in his palm.
"The Great Completion level Heaven Sword Technique… comprehending the Sword Intent, can I activate Sword罡?"
Su Xing tried it. The small sword made of Sword Intent in his hand split into three, then nine, and finally surrounded Su Xing, never falling.
"This Sword罡 is similar to the protective罡气…"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
The Sword罡 formed from Sword Intent was both offensive and defensive. It could be used to take the heads of Transcendent Stage cultivators, and it could also protect itself and withstand attacks from countless techniques.
"It's just a pity that I've only just comprehended the Sword Intent… I can only summon a limited amount of Sword罡. The defensive and offensive power is still a bit lacking…"
Su Xing looked at the Sword罡 surrounding him, thinking thoughtfully.
"Sword罡… it seems that it can coexist with the protective罡气 formed by Yuan Qi?"
"If I study it carefully, can I combine them… making the effect of the protective罡气 even better?"
Thinking of this, Su Xing's eyes lit up.
After entering the Mixed Yuan Realm late-stage, although the protective罡气 still had a significant effect and was Su Xing's main defense.
But it couldn't withstand the attacks of Transcendent Stage cultivators…
If Su Xing modified it, like how the "Spirit Explosion Technique" became the "Five Elements Spirit Explosion Technique," wouldn't its power increase greatly?
"Moreover… if I want to cross that void current, besides needing the Great Completion of Body Cultivation, I also need a superior defensive technique… this improved protective罡气 can perfectly meet the requirements!"
Su Xing nodded slightly, silently adding this to his plan.
"But for now, I'll focus on reaching the Great Completion of the Mixed Yuan Realm… then I'll look for a chance to reach the Great Completion of Body Cultivation!"
…
Over the next few days, Su Xing continued to refine puppets every day.
In one week, Su Xing refined three more puppets, named Dan Nineteen, Dan Twenty, and Dan Twenty-One.
Thus, with twenty-one Dan puppets, they would provide Su Xing with 10,500 Fasting Pills every week.
During this time, Su Xing also took time to see Luo Shu Ying.
Last month, Su Xing didn't go as planned. Luo Shu Ying complained a little, but she still gave Su Xing some information she obtained from the Descending Sect.
Of course, Su Xing already knew most of this information.
But Su Xing also learned from Luo Shu Ying that many of the Descending Sect's undercover agents had been eliminated one by one, which made the Descending Sect very distressed. They were preparing to cultivate new undercover agents.
Besides that, Luo Shu Ying also brought Su Xing some spiritual herbs.
After receiving these thousand-plus spiritual herbs, Su Xing told Luo Shu Ying that she didn't need to bring herbs to him anymore.
The reason why Su Xing made this decision was, of course, because of the herbs missing from the treasure vault, as well as the Refining Fetus Pills and Nourishing Yuan Pills, which were easily connected.
Moreover, Su Xing had already planted thousands of Yellow Immortal Essence, Nourishing Yuan Grass, and other Low-Grade spiritual herbs in his Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
In a few decades, these spiritual herbs of Su Xing wouldn't be inexhaustible, but they would definitely increase several times over.
…
Time returned to the present. In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing looked at the puppets in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, now I have tens of thousands of Fasting Pills… next week, I'll have another 50 million energy points in income…"
Su Xing was quite satisfied with this. Little by little, this second-order strange metal mine instance, which he exchanged for, would become Su Xing's main source of energy in the future.
He glanced at the time and disguised himself and concealed his aura, preparing to go to the villa to meet Jin Cong Xue.
Jin Cong Xue was wearing a red dress today. She looked incredibly beautiful and graceful.
Su Xing enjoyed a delicious meal and then chatted with Jin Cong Xue.
"Little Xing Zi, big sis is preparing to advance to the Heavenly King level… when I become a Heavenly King level powerhouse, I'll be immortal!"
After hearing Jin Cong Xue's words, Su Xing rolled his eyes. He thought, Heavenly King level powerhouses can't be immortal! They can only extend their lifespan to 500 years at most.
However, advancing to the Heavenly King level was indeed a big deal, so Su Xing asked:
"Sister Xue, when are you planning to advance to Heavenly King?"
Jin Cong Xue thought for a moment and said:
"I'm still a bit short of reaching the Great Completion of the Grandmaster level… I should be able to become a Heavenly King in two or three months."
Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this. He thought to himself that he would refine some Fifth or Sixth-Grade talismans when he had free time, which would be enough to deal with Heavenly King and Emperor level enemies. Jin Cong Xue shouldn't have too many problems advancing then.
"Actually…"
Su Xing stopped halfway through his sentence.
He knew that the existence of the Professionals might be a shocking conspiracy, but if he said it, no one would believe him.
What's more, there were billions of people on Blue Star who were all Professionals.
Only by obtaining sufficient evidence from the Three Thousand Worlds could Su Xing perhaps touch upon this hidden danger.
Soon, the meal was over. Su Xing returned to the school in a concealed manner and entered the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
The goods from the new week brought Su Xing another 200 million simulation energy points.
When the cooldown was over, Su Xing silently said:
"Start simulation!"
February 10th, 2025, Su Xing began his 74th simulation.
[Ding! This simulation consumes 7,400 energy points. Remaining energy points: 324,880,000. Remaining simulation times: unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Spend 100,000 energy points to draw a purple talent, spend 1 million energy points to draw a golden legendary talent. Do you want to draw?]
Su Xing didn't hesitate and silently said:
"Draw a golden quality talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining "Sound of the Valley of Brahma." The next chance to draw a golden quality talent is 60%…]
[Sound of the Valley of Brahma]: Purple Talent, your talent in the Sound Path is astonishing. You're quick to grasp related concepts when learning Sound Path techniques, divine abilities, and spells. You're very easy to learn.
Seeing the new talent he drew, Su Xing was slightly disappointed.
"Alright, it's not a golden talent… it seems that I'll have to follow the original plan in this simulation…"
Su Xing muttered.
He had set several goals for this simulation.
First, his body cultivation had to reach the Great Completion of the Mixed Yuan Realm. This was a must.
With the Nine Transformation Pill plus the Dragon Blood Essence, even if Su Xing didn't go to the Three Thousand Worlds, he could still reach Great Completion.
Second, he needed to improve his Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique.
If he could reach the Great Completion level, maybe he could shield himself from Immortal perception and have a chance to escape from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Finally, he also needed to cultivate the Burning Life Technique to Great Completion.
"But this time… staying on Blue Star, my strength should be able to withstand that Demon Saint… I wonder what the other races will do if I defeat that Demon Saint?"
Su Xing felt a little anticipation in his heart. His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realize that you are in a simulation.]
[You set out to find Lu Yuan Wu and complete a trade with him. There's no danger.]
[You accumulate one day's worth of the Great Wisdom state bonus and set out for the Heavenly Realm Assembly instance.]
Su Xing used Immersive Simulation…
[After leaving the Heavenly Realm Assembly instance, your Puppet Dao has also improved.]
[Half a month later, you go to meet Luo Shu Ying as planned and join the Descending Sect with her.]
[You quickly gain the position of Protector and have tens of thousands of disciples who admire you.]
[At the same time, you start to diligently refine pills…]
[So, two years pass quickly. During this time, you go to the Heavenly Realm Assembly instance again and use Immersive Simulation.]
[In the third year, the spiritual herbs in the Descending Sect's treasure vault, combined with the spiritual herbs you cultivate in your Spirit Field Cave Heaven, allow you to refine 300,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills and Refining Fetus Pills…]
[You secretly hand these pills over to Lu Yuan Wu, hoping that the human race's mid-range combat power will rise quickly.]
[In the fourth year, you continue to cultivate your power within the Descending Sect. Your reputation grows.]
[At the same time, you start to diligently cultivate the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique.]
[The final stage of the Human Path in the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique is the Great Completion level. It says that if you achieve it, you can shield yourself from the perception of Heaven and Man!]
[In your understanding, "Heaven and Man" refers to Immortals.]
[This means that if you cultivate the Human Path in the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique to Great Completion, you might actually be able to escape Blood Ninety-Nine's pursuit and hide in the Ten Thousand Mountains, free as a fish in the sea.]
[But the last stage of the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique is much more difficult than you imagined.]
[Every day, besides cultivating your reputation in the Descending Sect, you study divination techniques.]
[So, three years pass slowly…]
[In the seventh year, your comprehension of the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique is still stuck at the Great Completion level, but it has improved a lot compared to before.]
[This year, you try to cultivate the National Path in the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique, but you find that the National Path is extremely difficult to comprehend. Moreover, divination consumes a lot of lifespan. You give up for now.]
[In the same year, you plot to eliminate the leader of the Descending Sect's Natural faction and take his place.]
[At the same time, you start planning to eliminate Old Dragon Dog.]
[In the eighth year, you go to the Wan Mu Sect ruins and kill Wan Mu Zhen Ren without breaking a sweat. You also take out the branch of the Primordial Sun Mulberry Tree.]
[You deliberately show off in front of Old Dragon Dog. Sure enough, he has the intention to kill and steal the treasure.]
[You lure Old Dragon Dog out of the Great Xia Kingdom and fight him for dozens of rounds, easily killing him.]
[You spend several months refining Rebirth Pills and a Nine Transformation Pill, preparing to use them to improve your body cultivation.]
[So, in the following three years, you diligently cultivate and also study the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique.]
[At the same time, you try to refine Wan Mu Zhen Ren's corpse into a Living Dead Puppet, but ultimately fail…]
[In the eleventh year, Blood Three, who has been out of contact for a long time, finally arrives on Blue Star.]
[At this time, you are the most powerful leader of the Descending Sect on Blue Star.]
[With the branch of the Primordial Sun Mulberry Tree, you successfully bribe Blood Three. You're not only not held accountable, but you also obtain a pass to leave Blue Star.]
[But you don't plan to leave Blue Star this time. You want to maintain contact with Blood Three. This way, Blue Star will be under your control.]
[In the twelfth year, after taking more than 600 Rebirth Pills, your cultivation reaches the late-stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm Eighth Stage, but you can't break through to the Mixed Yuan Realm Ninth Stage.]
[You don't choose to take the Nine Transformation Pill. Instead, you go to the Demon Beast Realm killing battlefield.]
[In the thirteenth year, you successfully kill hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts and three Demon Emperors. You also refine hundreds of Rebirth Pills.]
[The effect of Demon Emperor blood essence is far inferior to Dragon blood essence, but it's still much faster than your hard work.]
[After taking the Rebirth Pills, your cultivation steadily improves.]
[So, another two years pass.]
[In the fifteenth year, one day you feel inspired and finally break through again, reaching the Mixed Yuan Realm Ninth Stage!]
[At this time, you're only one step away from the Great Completion of the Mixed Yuan Realm. You still have a Nine Transformation Pill. Breaking through to Great Completion is a sure thing!]
[But you don't rush to take it. To be cautious, you continue to refine your physique, preparing to take it at a crucial moment.]
[In the sixteenth year, your comprehension of the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique has improved. You've vaguely seen the appearance of the Great Completion level.]
[At this time, you use the Heavenly Mechanism Shielding Technique. You're confident that even a Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to sense you.]
[But you know that there's still a long way to go before reaching Great Completion.]
[So, another three years pass.]
[In the nineteenth year, your body cultivation improves slightly, but it's still stuck at the early-stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm Ninth Stage.]
[At the same time, while comprehending the Human Path in the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique, you start to comprehend the National Path.]
[You discover that the National Path can change the luck of a place, a country, or even a realm!]
[Moreover, at a profound level, it can even shield the existence of a place, making it difficult for high-level cultivators to perform divination.]
[While cultivating the National Path, you feel that your Human Path has improved slightly. You're getting closer to Great Completion.]
[So, another three years pass.]
[In the twenty-second year, your body cultivation reaches the mid-stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm Ninth Stage.]
[At the same time, you no longer hesitate. You prepare to choose an auspicious day to swallow the Nine Transformation Pill and break through to the Great Completion of the Mixed Yuan Realm in one go!]
[One day, you perform divination and feel inspired. You vaguely feel that the auspicious day is today.]
[So you make a decision and immediately prepare for the breakthrough.]
[After swallowing the Nine Transformation Pill, endless power surges into your body… Your physical strength continuously increases…]
[One month later, you successfully break through and become a Mixed Yuan Realm Great Completion cultivator!]
[At this time, your total strength finally reaches ten mountains of strength!]
[You also sense that your body can't improve any further. To further improve, you need to break through to the Great Completion of Body Cultivation!]
[In the twenty-third year, after your body cultivation reaches the Great Completion of the Mixed Yuan Realm, you start to focus on studying the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique.]
[Your divination skills become increasingly superb. Even if you're thousands of miles away, you can still deduce a person's future trajectory based on some clues.]
[But the person you're divining must have a cultivation level lower than yours. If the cultivator's cultivation level is higher than yours, there's a chance they will sense it, and there's a possibility of shortening your lifespan.]
[So, another four years pass.]
[In the twenty-seventh year, your comprehension of the Human Path in the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique is getting closer and closer to Great Completion. You're only missing one opportunity, and you can successfully reach the Great Completion level.]
[So, you don't hesitate. You accumulate one month's worth of the Great Wisdom state bonus, take the Spirit Awakening Pill, and make a final push.]
[After taking the Spirit Awakening Pill, your comprehension increases by more than a hundredfold. You start to study the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique.]
[In the blink of an eye, twenty days pass…]
[Finally, at a certain moment, you have a flash of inspiration. Your comprehension of the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique reaches the Great Completion level!]
[You can feel that your use of the Heavenly Mechanism Shielding Technique becomes more and more natural. Even those with a cultivation level two realms higher than yours can't sense your whereabouts.]
[At the same time, with your cultivation, if you're willing to pay some lifespan, you can divine the whereabouts of Transcendent Stage cultivators.]
[At this moment, the effect of the Spirit Awakening Pill has ten days left. You start trying to cultivate the "Burning Life Technique."]
In the real world, Su Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He sighed with emotion:
"The Human Path in the Eight Trigrams Calculation Technique reaches Great Completion! Shielding oneself from the perception of Human Immortal Realm cultivators! Divining the whereabouts of Transcendent Stage cultivators across realms… this technique is truly close to the Dao!"
"So, now I only need to learn the Burning Life Technique."
After a pause, Su Xing silently said:
"Use the Immersive Simulation function. Duration: ten days…"
[Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation. Spending 24 million energy points. Remaining energy points: 296,080,000.]
The simulation prompt sounded, and Su Xing's vision changed.
Then, Su Xing decisively began to cultivate the Burning Life Technique…
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed, and the immersive simulation ended.
…
After returning to the real world, a look of astonishment flashed in Su Xing's eyes.
"The Burning Life Technique is truly a secret technique that suits me! Burning lifespan… can greatly increase combat power! For me… it's the same as having no side effects?!"
A slight smile appeared on Su Xing's lips.
For ordinary Unity Realm cultivators, it takes over a thousand years to reach the Unity Realm.
And the lifespan of a Unity Realm cultivator is only 3,000 years.
This means that they don't dare to burn their lifespan to greatly increase their combat power.
But for Su Xing, 3,000 years of lifespan in the Unity Realm, 2,900 of them were useless.
It was the perfect price to pay!
"The Burning Life Technique reaches Great Completion. Done!"
Su Xing took a deep breath.
Ten days of enlightenment with the Spirit Awakening Pill is equivalent to three years of hard work!
Thus, Su Xing finally reached Great Completion in the Burning Life Technique!
If he reached the Unity Realm late-stage, Su Xing could burn a thousand years of lifespan and have the mana of a Transcendent Realm First Stage cultivator!
Su Xing closed his eyes slightly and began to plan for what to do next
"Right now, there's less than a year left until the Demon Saint arrives at the Demon Suppression Pass…"
"With my current strength, the Great Completion of the Mixed Yuan Realm and the Great Completion of the Heaven Sword Technique, defeating a Demon Saint First Stage shouldn't be a problem! Even if it's a Demon Saint Mid-Stage, I should be able to fight him…"
"I just wonder how much longer I can extend the simulation time if I defeat the Demon Saint?"
Su Xing felt a little anticipation in his heart.
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[The Human Path reaches Great Completion, and you also cultivate the Burning Life Technique to Great Completion. Now you're fully prepared. You only need to wait for the Demon Saint to arrive and then you can fight him.]
[But you don't plan to waste the last bit of time. You start to study the content of the National Path.]
[So, one year passes slowly…]
[In the twenty-eighth year, you hide your identity, transform into an ordinary soldier, and have been stationed at the Demon Suppression Pass for a year.]
[One day, you perform divination as usual. The divination is vague and uncertain, as if a major event is about to occur.]
[You sacrifice some lifespan and start divining the fate of the Demon Suppression Pass.]
[You divine that the Demon Suppression Pass will experience a calamity. Whether it can survive is uncertain.]
[You know that this is an omen of the Demon Saint's arrival!]
[So you start to adjust your state, nurturing the Spirit Sword Mo Bing every day, adjusting your state to peak condition.]
[One month later…]
[One day, you feel something in your heart. An incredibly powerful aura appears outside the Demon Suppression Pass.]
[You remain calm and go to the wall of the Demon Suppression Pass. Sure enough, you see the respected Demon Saint with vertical pupils, standing with his hands behind his back in mid-air, a look of indifference in his eyes.]
[Behind him are over a hundred Legendary Demon Beasts and a Demon Emperor.]
[These are all new faces. You deduce that they are forces that the Demon Saint has temporarily drawn from other battlefields.]
[The Demon Saint waves his hand slightly. Over a hundred Legendary Demon Beasts, two Demon Emperors, and countless demon beast armies charge crazily towards the Demon Suppression Pass.]
[The demon race is about to launch a full-scale attack on the Demon Suppression Pass!]
[At the same time, the more than ten Legendary powerhouses in the Demon Suppression Pass all look pale.]
[Even the Human Emperor at the peak, his expression is solemn. He has a look of despair in his eyes.]
[But there's no turning back now. The Human Emperor at the peak grits his teeth and charges towards the demon beast army below.]
[The Demon Saint, with just one move, forces the Human Emperor back.]
[Seeing this, the humans are even more desperate…]
[At a critical moment, you no longer hide. You step on the void, standing in the air a thousand meters high.]
[Holding the Spirit Sword Mo Bing, you raise your hand, and a ten-thousand-foot sword energy traverses the blood-red earth…]
[With one swing of your sword, dozens of Legendary Demon Beasts are cut in half. One Demon Emperor is injured, and countless low-level demon beasts die.]
[A ravine tens of miles long and bottomless appears ten miles in front of the Demon Suppression Pass, like a heavenly abyss…]
[You hold your sword in one hand, standing above the abyss, and slowly utter a sentence: ]
[Those who cross this realm, die!]
