Chapter 246: Awakening Four Trump Cards, It's So Satisfying to Bully the Weak! (10,000 Words, Please Vote for Monthly Ticket)
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly as he watched.
"Protective Sword罡... Combining the Sword罡 with Yuanli to form a new divine ability!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up. This seemed like a good direction, combining offense and defense, and greatly enhancing defensive power.
"There's also the improvement in cultivation, this simulation should be able to reach the peak of the fourth stage of the Unity Stage without much trouble..."
According to Su Xing's plan, this simulation would be most suitable for reaching the peak of the fourth stage of the Unity Stage.
Because the peak of the fourth stage was only three stages away from the first stage of the Unity Stage, Su Xing only needed to pay 1.5 billion units of energy to bring out his cultivation.
Adding the new divine ability, Protective Sword罡, it would cost about 2 billion units of energy.
But if he went any further, Su Xing would have to make sacrifices and couldn't bring out both rewards.
"It's really a headache! My cultivation has improved... but I don't have enough energy."
Su Xing sighed.
After collaborating with Lu Yuanwu, Su Xing's energy acquisition had skyrocketed.
But the problem was, as Su Xing's strength increased, the energy he needed became increasingly absurd.
This was just the Unity Stage. If he reached the Great Ascension Stage or even the Immortal Realm, the energy Su Xing needed would be a terrifying number.
"What worries me most is... if I reach a realm above the Immortal Realm... will the entire Blue Star be able to supply enough energy for me to improve my cultivation?"
Su Xing frowned slightly, thinking about this troublesome issue.
Normally, a small thousand world has a limit on the total amount of resources and energy it contains.
Even though Blue Star is a special small thousand world, it only has a higher upper limit.
This is why top-tier powerhouses mostly come from great thousand worlds, because their upper limit is higher.
Perhaps when Su Xing reaches a certain high realm, he will have to leave Blue Star and obtain energy and resources from the three thousand worlds to break through further.
"But for now, it's important to continue improving my cultivation!"
Su Xing's eyes fell on the simulation panel.
[Year 12, after introducing the Spirit Vein Dragon into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, the resource production speed within the Spirit Field has increased significantly. Your cultivation resources are being replenished gradually.]
[In the same year, you consumed millions of drops of low-grade spirit liquid and your cultivation reached the mid-stage of the third stage of the Unity Stage.]
[Year 14, you continue to comprehend Protective Sword罡.]
[Through your persistent efforts, you can now summon eighteen Sword罡 at once, combining offense and defense, protecting you from all sides.]
[As you continue to explore, this new divine ability named Protective Sword罡 is taking shape. Based on your judgment, this might be a powerful divine ability that surpasses the Five Element Spirit Explosion Technique, even touching the threshold of a Great Divine Ability!]
[According to your calculations, when you can summon thirty-six Sword罡 at once, it will be considered a basic entry into the divine ability. At that time, each of the thirty-six Sword罡 will contain the true meaning of the sword, and their destructive power will be close to a strike from a Great Ascension Stage cultivator!]
[Two more years have passed.]
[Year 16, over the past two years, you have exhausted your spirit stones and consumed millions more drops of spirit liquid, pushing your cultivation close to the peak of the third stage of the Unity Stage!]
[You currently have only a million drops of spirit liquid left, but you are not worried because with the Spirit Vein Dragon, you can obtain hundreds of thousands of drops of low-grade spirit liquid and tens of thousands of drops of mid-grade spirit liquid every year.]
[Year 17, you went to the Beast Taming Realm's Slaughter Battlefield. After disguising yourself and concealing your aura, you pretended to be a Beast Taming Realm powerhouse and killed hundreds of legendary demonic beasts and three Demon Emperors on the battlefield.]
[This year, you have reached thirty-six Sword罡 in your Protective Sword罡 summons, completely mastering the basics of this divine ability!]
[Year 18, you received a message from Blood Three. He learned about the changes in the Beast Taming Realm and asked if you knew the reason.]
[You said you didn't know, but you would try to investigate.]
[Blood Three was slightly dissatisfied after hearing this, but he didn't say anything more.]
[Two more years have passed.]
[Year 20, this year you accumulated 300,000 drops of mid-grade spirit liquid and are ready to break through to the fourth stage of the Unity Stage in one go!]
[With ample spirit liquid reserves, you entered seclusion for half a year and successfully broke through to the fourth stage of the Unity Stage!]
[After reaching the fourth stage of the Unity Stage, your spiritual power has more than doubled compared to the first stage of the Unity Stage.]
[Year 21, you have made a breakthrough in comprehending Protective Sword罡. This year, you can summon forty-nine Sword罡 at once, protecting you from all sides. The Sword罡 are a combination of offense and defense, and ordinary Great Ascension Stage cultivators cannot approach you.]
[Four more years have passed.]
[Year 25, your cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the fourth stage of the Unity Stage.]
[Because you cleared out the demonic beasts in the Beast Taming Realm beforehand, the Beast Taming Pass was peaceful this year.]
[In the same year, your Protective Sword罡 has been cultivated to sixty-four Sword罡!]
[With the Sword罡 as your defense, sixty-four Protective Sword罡 can even withstand a strike from a mid-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator!]
[And if the sixty-four Sword罡 are unleashed simultaneously, even a mid-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator would have to avoid them!]
[Thus, your weakness in defense has finally been addressed. In addition to possessing another trump card comparable to a mid-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator, your defensive power has finally caught up to the level of a mid-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator!]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction as he saw this.
"Not bad, I have another trump card comparable to a mid-stage Great Ascension Stage (mid-stage Demon Saint). I shouldn't be as helpless when fighting that Demon Saint next time..."
Strictly speaking, Su Xing's current cultivation realm still belongs to the peak of the Demon Emperor level.
The reason he was able to defeat the Demon Saint was due to the several trump cards he had.
The first trump card was the peak of the Primordial Realm, ten mountain forces! Combined with his Yuanli and understanding of the origin of force, Su Xing's strength was close to that of a mid-stage Demon Saint!
The second trump card was the mid-stage Unity Stage cultivation combined with the Life Burning Technique. If he burned a thousand years of his lifespan at once, he could have spiritual power comparable to a early-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator.
The third trump card was the Great Completion-level Heavenly Sword Technique, Su Xing's strongest offensive technique. Using sword energy as a medium and the origin of the sword as its core, he could unleash a ten thousand-foot sword energy comparable to a mid-stage Demon Saint's full-strength attack.
However, this technique was very energy-consuming, and Su Xing could only unleash a few such sword energies at the moment.
The fourth trump card was naturally the newly comprehended Protective Sword罡, which made Su Xing's defense comparable to that of a Great Ascension Stage cultivator and further enhanced his offensive capabilities.
"Sixty-four Protective Sword罡, but it is still at the entry level of the divine ability. Perhaps the upper limit of this divine ability is higher than I thought!"
Su Xing's eyes gleamed with excitement.
According to the information he obtained from the Luotian Sect, the defense level of this Protective Sword罡 should be sufficient.
If Su Xing could cultivate it to the Great Completion level, combined with his late-stage Great Completion body refinement cultivation, he might be able to physically traverse the void currents!
"Good, I will lay a solid foundation step by step... and then break through to Great Completion body refinement in one go!"
Su Xing's eyes were filled with a smile as he looked at the simulation panel.
[Year 26, you add three more Sword罡, for a total of sixty-seven Protective Sword罡, with even greater power.]
[Based on your speculation, to reach the Small Completion of Protective Sword罡, you need to summon one hundred and eight Sword罡 at once.]
[There are two years left before the Demon Saint arrives. You plan to further enhance the power of Protective Sword罡 before the battle.]
[Therefore, you accumulate a month of Great Wisdom state buffs and take a top-grade Spirit Awakening Pill...]
[Then you officially enter seclusion and devote yourself to comprehending Protective Sword罡!]
[As you comprehend, dense sword intent surrounds you, and the Protective Sword罡 appear and disappear, surging and active.]
[In the blink of an eye, a month has passed...]
[In just one month, you add eighteen more Protective Sword罡.]
[Currently, you can summon eighty-five Protective Sword罡!]
[Even a mid-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator would find it difficult to break through these Protective Sword罡...]
[Two more years have passed...]
[Year 28, your cultivation has reached the late-stage of the fourth stage of the Unity Stage, only one step away from the peak.]
[At the same time, the number of Protective Sword罡 you have comprehended has reached ninety-one. You are full of confidence in the upcoming Demon Saint battle!]
[One day, you perform divination and find that the Beast Taming Pass will face a small tribulation within seven days. If you survive the tribulation, the Beast Taming Pass will be safe for ten years.]
[You know that this is the sign of the Demon Saint's imminent arrival.]
[Sure enough, seven days later, an endless army of demonic beasts pressed against the city, their number unknown.]
[One hundred legendary demonic beasts, two Demon Emperors, and one Demon Saint arrived at the Beast Taming Pass!]
[For a time, the hearts of the people at the Beast Taming Pass sank. Even the Human Emperor and the legendary powerhouses showed despair.]
[At this critical moment, you make your move!]
[A ten thousand-foot sword energy shoots out, instantly slashing through hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts.]
[Then you kill a Demon Emperor with one strike and challenge the Double-Pupil Demon Saint.]
[Seeing your terrifying strength, the Double-Pupil Demon Saint's pupils constrict slightly, but he still declares that he will accept the challenge.]
[The battle is about to begin.]
[This time, due to your comprehension of Protective Sword罡, your strength has improved even further. Most of the Double-Pupil Demon Saint's attacks are blocked by the Protective Sword罡.]
[At the beginning of the battle, you almost completely suppressed the Demon Saint. According to your deduction, you would be able to kill him within two days at most.]
[But you don't intend to do so. You know that the Double-Pupil Demon Saint has a life-saving trump card and can leave the battlefield at any time.]
[And if he escapes, the Beast Taming Pass will be destroyed ten years later.]
[So you decide to change your strategy and only use eight-tenths of your strength, pretending to be evenly matched with the Demon Saint.]
[Sure enough, the Double-Pupil Demon Saint falls for it!]
[You and the Demon Saint battle for seven days and seven nights. In the end, you cut off the Demon Saint's arm, and you are also "severely injured".]
[Under these circumstances, you and the Demon Saint both choose to retreat, agreeing to fight again in a year.]
[You agree, return to the Beast Taming Pass, and the Double-Pupil Demon Saint retreats three thousand miles, preparing to regroup and launch another attack.]
[Year 29, you comprehend three more Sword罡, bringing the total number of Protective Sword罡 to ninety-four.]
[In the same year, you battle the Demon Saint again, and the final result is a "severe injury" for both sides...]
[You and the Demon Saint are "matched opponents", agreeing to heal and fight again in a year.]
[Three more years have passed in the blink of an eye...]
[Year 32, over the past three years, the Demon Saint has battled you every year. Your comprehension of sword intent has improved even further through these battles.]
[And the Double-Pupil Demon Saint has been tricked by you every year, almost falling for your bait every time.]
[Until this year, the Double-Pupil Demon Saint finally notices something is wrong.]
[Because every year he battles you, both of you end up severely injured, but neither of you has won. This seems too coincidental.]
[Moreover, before the Double-Pupil Demon Saint attacked the Beast Taming Pass, he had made a military oath, claiming that he would definitely conquer it within three years.]
[However, it has been five years, and the Beast Taming Pass is still as strong as ever.]
[In fact, these past five years have been the most peaceful five years for the Beast Taming Pass.]
[Therefore, the Demon Saint finally decides to abandon his battle with you and instead leaves Blue Star to return to his alien race, hoping to seek external reinforcements.]
[This year, the total number of Protective Sword罡 you have comprehended reaches one hundred and three, getting closer and closer to the Small Completion of Protective Sword罡.]
In the real world, Su Xing sighed as he saw this.
"It's a pity, I only managed to fish this Demon Saint for five years... If I could have fished for a little longer, maybe I could have extended the simulation time even further..."
"I just wonder how long it will take for the Demon Saint to bring reinforcements. I'm afraid the next time will be the time for the Beast Taming Pass to be destroyed."
Su Xing shook his head slightly, but for him, being able to extend the simulation time as much as possible and improve his strength was enough.
It's not yet time to completely turn the tables with the alien race and the Descending Church...
Before he had absolute strength, Su Xing only pursued steady development.
He looked at the simulation panel.
[Year 35, three years have passed since the Demon Saint left.]
[Over these three years, the Beast Taming Pass has added several more legendary powerhouses, bringing the total number of legendary powerhouses in the Beast Taming Pass to nearly thirty.]
[But besides you and the aging Emperor, no new Emperor-level powerhouses have emerged.]
[To your surprise, your good brothers, Yu Yan and Jin Congxue, have both reached the level of near-legendary powerhouses.]
[Luo Shuying reached the peak of legendary status ten years ago and is currently searching for an opportunity to break through to the Emperor level.]
[Year 36, you master another Sword罡.]
[This year, you finally master one hundred and eight Protective Sword罡, and your mastery of Protective Sword罡 reaches the Small Completion level!]
[According to your experiments, with one hundred and eight Protective Sword罡 fully unleashed, the offensive effect is comparable to a full-strength attack from a mid-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator!]
[What's even stronger is the defensive effect of the Protective Sword罡. With the Sword罡 protecting you from all sides, you can even withstand attacks from a late-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator!]
Su Xing's eyes lit up as he saw this.
"Finally, Protective Sword罡 has reached Small Completion..."
"After this simulation, my offensive techniques should be comparable to a mid-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator, and my defense is even comparable to a late-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator!"
"But if... I cultivate Protective Sword罡 to perfection, will I be able to withstand attacks from a Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivator or even an Immortal?"
Thinking about this, Su Xing's heartbeat quickened, and he felt a surge of anticipation.
This Protective Sword罡 is definitely the strongest defensive divine ability he has comprehended!
He looked at the simulation panel.
[The next four years pass peacefully at the Beast Taming Pass.]
[Year 40, one day you have a premonition and perform divination, learning that the Beast Taming Pass will face a great tribulation within a month. Under this tribulation, the Beast Taming Pass will be broken, and the human race will be destroyed...]
[At this moment, you understand that the Beast Taming Pass might be destroyed in a month.]
[The Double-Pupil Demon Saint will finally return, bringing with him alien races at the Immortal Realm!]
[Therefore, you hesitate no longer and gather all your close friends and family, including Jin Congxue, Luo Shuying, Yu Yan, and Wang Qingxuan, and take them to Blue Star.]
[At the same time, you inform the Human Emperor of the peak that the Beast Taming Pass will be destroyed in a month.]
[The Human Emperor listens without joy or sorrow. He hopes you can bring some legendary powerhouses back to Blue Star, while he will make a final stand here.]
[You nod silently. You have one last thing to do in this simulation, so you agree.]
[You take a group of humans back to Blue Star and wait for the arrival of the final giant beasts.]
[A month later, you receive news that the Beast Taming Pass has been breached.]
[Months pass, and the giant beasts descend, swallowing the entire Blue Star in one gulp.]
[When the giant beasts descend, you try to unleash a ten thousand-foot sword energy to resist, but the sword energy is swallowed by the giant beast and then vanishes.]
[Helpless, you can only activate Protective Sword罡 and are swallowed into the giant beast's abdomen.]
[This year, the number of Protective Sword罡 you have comprehended reaches one hundred and twenty-eight!]
[After being swallowed into the giant beast's abdomen, you start searching for the location of a large thunder region.]
[Because you know that your chance to break your limit and achieve Great Completion body refinement lies within it!]
[After an unknown amount of time, you find a large thunder region.]
[Above this thunder region, there is a terrifying thunderstorm like a writhing dragon. The power of each thunderbolt is almost equivalent to the weakest thunder tribulation.]
[Under this thunder, you feel a faint energy pulsing within it, resonating with your body.]
[You know that this is the Heavenly Thunder Body, a sense of the origin of thunder!]
[This thunder is likely not only to help you break your limit but also to allow you to further comprehend the origin of thunder and successfully advance your Heavenly Thunder Body!]
[You step into the region, activate Protective Sword罡, and prepare to endure the thunder strikes!]
[However, the thunder here is too terrifying. Each thunderbolt has the power of a full-strength attack from a peak Great Ascension Stage cultivator!]
[In the last simulation, you were severely injured after enduring one thunderbolt and your soul was destroyed after two thunderbolts...]
[Even with the Small Completion of Protective Sword罡, you are not entirely confident that you can withstand the thunder here.]
[But now, the arrow is on the string, and it must be released!]
[Thunderbolts comparable to the full-strength attack of a peak Great Ascension Stage cultivator, accompanied by the origin of thunder, strike towards you!]
[With just one strike, your Protective Sword罡 shatters layer by layer, about to disappear completely.]
[You sigh inwardly. It seems that one hundred and twenty-eight Protective Sword罡 are still not enough to withstand this terrifying thunder.]
[But fortunately, you have the Heavenly Thunder Body, which gives you some immunity to thunder attacks. Coupled with the "undying cockroach" talent, you can barely withstand the injuries...]
[However, you are not happy in the slightest, because the second thunderbolt is coming...]
[After the second thunderbolt, you barely manage to withstand it, but your Protective Sword罡 has completely shattered.]
[At the same time, you feel that your Heavenly Thunder Body has undergone a subtle change. It is gradually strengthening...]
[With the help of these thunderbolts, your comprehension of the origin of thunder is rapidly increasing...]
[In the blink of an eye, the third thunderbolt strikes, and you withstand it, but you are critically injured and on the verge of death...]
[The fourth thunderbolt strikes...]
[You die!]
[This simulation is over!]
After the simulation ends, Su Xing sighs.
"It's a pity, I was so close!"
"It seems that one hundred and twenty-eight Protective Sword罡 are still not enough to withstand the thunder's attack..."
"If Protective Sword罡 were to advance further, maybe I could withstand the thunder, allowing me to comprehend the origin of thunder even deeper and advance my Heavenly Thunder Body further!"
In short, Su Xing's direction was correct.
In the terrifying large thunder region, Su Xing could successfully withstand the thunderbolts with the help of Protective Sword罡.
One hundred and twenty-eight Protective Sword罡 allowed Su Xing to withstand three thunderbolts instead of just one!
If Protective Sword罡 were to advance further, Su Xing could advance his Heavenly Thunder Body, comprehend the origin of thunder, and break his limit again!
"Forty years of simulation time, and I have further explored the preconditions for Great Completion body refinement..."
Su Xing nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the simulation rewards.
[Master Chef]: Purple talent, price 1 million energy units.
[Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, your existing alchemy comprehension will increase slightly, price 10 million energy units.
[Unity Stage Fourth Stage Cultivation]: Unity Stage mid-stage cultivator, sensing the rudimentary Dao, comprehending the origin force, has cultivated to the peak of the fourth stage of the Unity Stage, only one step away from the fifth stage of the Unity Stage, ready to break through at any time... Price 1.5 billion energy units.
[Heavenly Thunder Body Stage Two (Incomplete)]: Stage two of the Heavenly Thunder Body, tempered by thunder, absorbing the origin of thunder to strengthen the body, greatly enhancing comprehension of the origin of thunder, increasing the purity of the thunder spiritual root, and increasing affinity for thunder spiritual energy. Price 300 million energy units.
[Origin of Thunder (Entry)]: Has a certain comprehension of the origin of thunder. The origin of thunder is the fundamental building block of the Dao of Thunder. It possesses extremely strong destructive power and has a significant restraint effect on demons and ghosts. Price 200 million energy units.
[Protective Sword罡 (Small Completion)]: Comprehended by cultivator Su Xing. Using Protective罡 as a reference, with Yuanli and sword intent as its core, summon Sword罡 to protect you from all sides, the power is comparable to that of a Great Divine Ability, combining offense and defense. Learning it allows you to fight beyond your level. Currently, there are 128 Protective Sword罡. Price 700 million energy units.
"Heavenly Thunder Body Stage Two... Origin of Thunder (Entry)?"
Su Xing's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the brief thunder tempering he experienced would give him two more reward options.
"But unfortunately, both of these are incomplete... If my strength were stronger and my comprehension of Protective Sword罡 were deeper, maybe I could successfully advance my Heavenly Thunder Body and comprehend more of the origin of thunder..."
Su Xing sighed. The rewards he was most interested in were still the Unity Stage cultivation and the one hundred and twenty-eight Protective Sword罡.
"These two rewards combined cost nearly 2.2 billion energy units... With the goods traded this week, it should be barely enough..."
"Fortunately, I didn't break through to the fifth stage of the Unity Stage. Otherwise, I might not have enough energy to bring out both rewards..."
Su Xing felt a little helpless. He had been borrowing energy to exchange for rewards recently.
Perhaps when Lu Yuanwu finished trading the ten thousand tons of third-order alien metal, Su Xing's finances would be more comfortable.
Su Xing glanced at the time. Lu Yuanwu should be waiting at the agreed location.
So Su Xing disguised himself and concealed his aura, going to see Lu Yuanwu.
The transaction was quickly completed, and 2 billion energy units were obtained. Su Xing cautiously returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, without any accidents.
"I'll hold off on refining the puppets for this week... I have something important to do!"
"With my current mastery of the puppet Dao, I can start trying to refine the Wanmu True Person..."
The Wanmu True Person, a half-step Unity Stage cultivator, combined with his innate talent, was almost comparable to an Emperor-level powerhouse!
If Su Xing could subdue him and refine him into a puppet, he would not only gain a powerful combat force but also a high-level Dan Puppet!
After all, the Wanmu True Person was from the Wanmu Sect, a genuine sect of alchemy!
Thinking about it, Su Xing felt a little excited and then began to disguise himself and conceal his aura.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Xing disguised himself as a middle-aged man he had never been before, adding another alias to his collection.
"To enter the Wanmu Sect's ruins, I need to obtain three jade fragments first... I probably won't have time to refine pills this week..."
Su Xing sighed, then set off and left Kyoto City.
After flying on his sword for half an hour, Su Xing arrived at the entrance to the Immortal Martial Era.
Su Xing cast a small spell and then entered the Immortal Martial Era副本.
"Whew, based on the distance, the Changchun Sect is closest... I'll go there first to get the jade fragments."
Su Xing murmured, then flew on his sword, searching for the three major sects.
Obtaining the jade fragments was simple. Su Xing only needed to use superficial techniques like the Mind Control Technique, and he could obtain the jade fragments from the three sects.
The only trouble was that the three sects were far apart.
Su Xing spent a whole day collecting the three jade fragments.
After collecting the jade fragments, Su Xing began searching for the Wanmu Sect's ruins.
Another day later, Su Xing successfully found the giant stone that served as the entrance to the formation.
"By breaking this formation, I can enter the Wanmu Sect's ruins..."
Su Xing didn't choose to break it by force but used his understanding of the formation Dao. After some effort, he temporarily opened a passage.
Then, Su Xing's heart moved, and he entered the Wanmu Sect's ruins.
After passing through the formation, Su Xing clearly felt that he had entered a space that was not here.
"Hmph, it seems that the Wanmu Sect also had senior cultivators who understood the Dao of Space... This space seems to be within the Immortal Martial Era副本, but it's definitely not in the mountains just now..."
Su Xing's eyes flashed with surprise. Even combining the Dao of Space with the formation Dao was extremely difficult.
Su Xing guessed that this ruin might have existed for a long time, created by a senior cultivator who had transcended tribulation or even a scattered immortal tens of thousands of years ago.
Entering the ruins, Su Xing arrived at the familiar tomb passage. Then, his divine sense spread like a tide...
"If I remember correctly, there should be a living dead puppet at the Void-Breaking Stage mid-level here..."
Su Xing's eyes lit up. He decided to capture this puppet first, after all, it was also a combat force comparable to a mid-level legendary cultivator!
Soon, Su Xing saw the Void-Breaking Stage mid-level puppet.
The living dead puppet had pale skin, with no sign of life, and rushed towards Su Xing.
Su Xing simply made a move and captured the living dead puppet.
"Tsk tsk, you're quite fierce... Unfortunately, I'm not that little Nascent Soul Stage cultivator anymore..."
Although this was Su Xing's first time entering this ruin in the real world, he had a sense of nostalgia.
The living dead puppet that Su Xing had struggled to defeat before...
Now, in Su Xing's hands, it was nothing more than an ant...
"I'll destroy this puppet's core first, so it can't move..."
Su Xing effortlessly reached into the living dead puppet's chest and took out a black, angular, spherical object.
"Hmm? A single-combat puppet... capable of independent combat and controlled by divine sense?"
Su Xing didn't need much effort to figure out the details of this living dead puppet. Then, he put it into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
"Then next... it's your turn, Wanmu True Person!"
Su Xing's eyes were filled with anticipation as he quickly ran towards the tomb passage ahead.
A few minutes later, Su Xing arrived at the core of the ruins. A formation restriction blocked his way.
"To break this restriction, I can enter the Wanmu Sect's ruins..."
Su Xing took out several materials and began to break the restriction in front of him.
A few hours later, Su Xing successfully opened a temporary passage in the formation restriction.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Xing immediately slipped inside.
He was greeted by a wave of dense spiritual energy, making him feel refreshed.
"This spiritual energy concentration is not as good as the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, but it's comparable to an ordinary blessed land..."
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. Even in the Small Qingyun World, such blessed lands were rare.
"Roar~"
A dragon's roar came from hundreds of meters in front of Su Xing.
Su Xing looked closely and saw a dragon-shaped creature about ten feet long, crystal clear white, but with some black qi entwined around it, suppressed beneath a stone platform.
"Spirit Vein Dragon!"
Su Xing's breathing became heavy, and a glimmer of desire flashed in his eyes.
"No... It's not time to release the Spirit Vein Dragon yet!"
Su Xing suppressed his desire, knowing that once he released the Spirit Vein Dragon, it would attract Blood Three, which would be disastrous for him.
"Sigh, I'll have to委屈 you for a while..."
Su Xing bypassed the Spirit Vein Dragon and then swept his gaze across the core area of the ruins.
As far as his eyes could see, hundreds of meters in front of him, there were vast spirit fields, and several puppets were cultivating spirit plants.
"Tsk tsk, this spirit field alone has thousands of spirit herbs, and each one is over three thousand years old!"
"These spirit herbs are enough to refine eighth-grade or even ninth-grade spirit pills!"
Su Xing didn't hesitate in the slightest. He moved like a whirlwind, transplanting all the spirit herbs into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, not even sparing the spirit soil under his feet.
Soon, the core area, overflowing with spiritual energy, was stripped bare by Su Xing, almost reaching the rock layer.
Su Xing didn't spare the five puppets that were specifically used to manage the spirit fields.
An hour later, Su Xing had practically emptied the entire core of the ruins.
"Then next... it's time for the Wanmu True Person!"
Su Xing leaped and landed on the bronze stone coffin. Then, he pushed open the coffin lid of the Wanmu True Person.
"Who dares to disturb this True Person's slumber..."
The Wanmu True Person woke up from his slumber, and a hoarse voice entered Su Xing's ears.
Looking at the Wanmu True Person in front of him, dressed in green robes, with fair and handsome skin, Su Xing felt inexplicably annoyed.
"Damn it! Stop pretending!"
Su Xing raised his hand and gave the Wanmu True Person a big slap.
The Wanmu True Person, who had just awakened, was instantly dumbfounded.
"Who are you?"
"Your father!"
Su Xing raised his hand and gave him another big slap.
He slapped him several times in a row, and the Wanmu True Person's face swelled up. He was completely powerless in Su Xing's hands.
And the Wanmu True Person, who had been arrogant and domineering, with aura radiating from him, also changed his words constantly...
"How dare you hit this True Person!"
"Stop... I have no grievance with you..."
"Stop it..."
"Spare this Immortal!"
Su Xing's Primordial Realm Great Completion strength, ten mountain forces, was simply not something the Wanmu True Person could withstand.
Even using only one-tenth of his strength, the Wanmu True Person was like a chick in Su Xing's hands, easily controlled.
"Heh, weren't you so arrogant before? Why are you cowering now?"
Su Xing rarely vented his frustrations.
After beating up the Wanmu True Person, Su Xing took a deep breath:
"Satisfying! Enemies I couldn't defeat before... As long as I keep developing, I will eventually crush them under my feet!"
"So, I hate evenly matched battles... Nothing beats bullying the weak!"
Su Xing sighed, then used his spiritual power to send a burst of energy into the Wanmu True Person's dantian.
He successfully sealed the Wanmu True Person's cultivation, dropping him from a half-step Unity Stage cultivator to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
Su Xing also dislocated the Wanmu True Person's arms and legs, sealing his body refinement cultivation.
After doing all this, under the Wanmu True Person's terrified gaze, Su Xing activated the Soul Searching Technique and searched his soul.
An hour later...
Su Xing stuffed the Wanmu True Person, who had become a puddle of mud, into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven and casually extinguished his soul.
Thus, the Wanmu True Person was left with only a shell, becoming a true living dead puppet.
After dealing with the Wanmu True Person, Su Xing also put the bronze stone coffin into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but take one last look at the pitiful Spirit Vein Dragon.
He reinforced the concealment formation and restriction before leaving the Wanmu Sect's ruins.
A few hours later, Su Xing returned to the Kyoto Academy student dormitory and entered the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
Then, Su Xing began to sort through the memories he had obtained from the Wanmu True Person's soul searching.
After a long time, Su Xing rubbed his temples.
"The Wanmu True Person's life... was truly a hypocrite!"
Su Xing sighed. After becoming a living dead puppet, the Wanmu True Person lost many memories, but Su Xing still managed to piece together a lot.
The Wanmu True Person, in the mid-period of the Immortal Martial Era, was born into the Wanmu Sect, and his father was the sect master of the Wanmu Sect!
He was born with a heaven-grade spiritual root, had an extraordinary appearance, and had all kinds of cultivation resources at his disposal. He was clearly destined to be a villain.
He began his cultivation at the age of eight and successfully established his foundation in just half a year.
He reached the Golden Core Stage at ten... the Nascent Soul Stage at twenty...
He reached the Transformation Stage at forty... and the Void-Breaking Stage at one hundred and fifty!
But until he was one thousand years old, the Wanmu True Person was still stuck at the peak of the Void-Breaking Stage, unable to break through to the Unity Stage!
The Wanmu True Person was unwilling to accept this. So, he searched for various ruins and secret realms in the world of the Immortal Martial Era.
He eventually obtained a formula for a pill called the Yellow Spring Pill... and a technique for transforming a spirit vein into a dragon!
Thus, the Wanmu True Person began his plan...
To make the era, which was already experiencing a decline in spiritual energy, completely fall into the age of declining spiritual energy!
But unexpectedly, he actually hatched a Spirit Vein Dragon...
"Tsk tsk, the Wanmu True Person obtained the Yellow Spring Pill... It seems a bit coincidental, as if he was tricked?"
Su Xing pondered, but he couldn't make a definitive conclusion.
"But... an eighth-grade alchemy puppet. If I refine it well, I can use it in the future!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, looking at the Wanmu True Person who had completely lost consciousness and become a living dead puppet.
"From now on, you'll be called Wanmu!"
Su Xing immediately began to try to modify this Wanmu True Person puppet.
But after trying for a while, he found it wasn't easy.
The Wanmu True Person was powerful. With Su Xing's current understanding of the puppet Dao, he couldn't preserve his full strength.
So, Su Xing took a step back and started to improve the Void-Breaking Stage mid-level living dead puppet...
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed...
On the third day of the third month, Su Xing yawned and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the living dead puppet in front of him.
"Whew... Finally finished modifying it. Although I couldn't unleash its full strength, it's still equivalent to an early-stage Void-Breaking Stage cultivator..."
Su Xing took out several top-grade spirit stones and placed them into the living dead puppet's core as its energy source.
"Come on, punch me, don't hold back!"
Su Xing gave his first order.
Immediately, a huge fist slammed towards Su Xing's face.
Su Xing easily
blocked it, then began to check the puppet's changes.
"Hiss~ Just one strike from a Void-Breaking Stage cultivator consumed half a top-grade spirit stone!"
Su Xing was immediately a little heartbroken.
Although he had obtained hundreds of thousands of spirit stones from the Wanmu ruins, they were still precious resources for him.
Su Xing continued to try controlling the living dead puppet.
After a while, Su Xing nodded slightly.
"If it's launching an attack, maintaining the attack power of a Void-Breaking Stage cultivator... It consumes too many spirit stones!"
"But if it's just normal movement, it only needs one top-grade spirit stone a year, which is acceptable..."
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. When he took out the core of this living dead puppet, he found more than ten top-grade spirit stones. Presumably, these top-grade spirit stones were the source of its previous energy.
"In the future, if I'm not convenient to show up, I can let this living dead puppet do it... Since your face is so pale, I'll call you Xiaobai!"
Su Xing murmured.
It was already noon. Su Xing disguised himself and concealed his aura before preparing to go trade with Jin Congxue.
Two hours later, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
He exchanged the goods for the new week for simulation energy, bringing his total energy to over 2.3 billion.
"I choose to bring out the Unity Stage fourth stage cultivation... and the Small Completion-level Protective Sword罡."
[You have successfully brought out Unity Stage fourth stage cultivation, costing 1.5 billion energy units, remaining energy 850,330,000 units.]
[You have successfully brought out Protective Sword罡 (Small Completion level), costing 700 million energy units, remaining energy 150,330,000 units.]
The simulation prompt sounded, and then Su Xing's aura began to surge...
Unity Stage first stage... Unity Stage second stage... Unity Stage third stage!
Finally, the peak of the Unity Stage fourth stage!
After a while, Su Xing adapted to his surging cultivation and nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, the peak of the Unity Stage fourth stage... Only one step away from reaching the Unity Stage fifth stage!"
(Brothers, the book friend group has been established. The group number link is in the work introduction. Disciples and above can join! You can see the latest information about extra chapters in the group. Finally, monthly ticket request at the beginning of the month! I will add six chapters this month. If we reach one thousand monthly tickets in the first two days of the month, I will add two more chapters! This section is not charged.)
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 247: Three Hundred Sword Gangs, The Chain Reaction of Killing the Yao Saint! (Today's burst update, please vote for the monthly ticket~)
If Su Xing was willing, he could break through to the fifth stage of the Unity Stage within a few months by closing his retreat in the simulation.
This can be considered a small bug in the simulator. The energy required for the peak of the fourth stage of the Unity Stage and the initial stage of the fourth stage of the Unity Stage is the same.
Therefore, Su Xing's energy was insufficient in this simulation, and he could completely stay in the next simulation to break through. At most, it would only take half a year to achieve it.
"En, the middle stage of the Unity Stage, the spiritual power is more than twice as thick as the initial stage of the Unity Stage before… At this moment, my spiritual power sea is even wider…"
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then his heart moved.
"Protective Qi, rise!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A total of 128 protective sword gangs appeared within a foot of Su Xing's body.
Each sword gang contains a wisp of the true meaning of the sword.
And on the surface of each sword gang, there is also a thin layer of Yuanli wrapped around it.
Yuanli makes the power of the sword gang even stronger, and the defensive power is greatly improved.
One hundred and twenty-eight sword gangs surrounded Su Xing's body, protecting Su Xing in a 360-degree without any dead angle.
The cold light of the sword flashed, making people afraid to look at it.
"Not bad! Each of these sword gangs can probably severely injure a cultivator at the peak of the Unity Stage…"
"If 128 sword gangs are launched together, even a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Great Ascension Stage will be severely injured in an instant!"
Su Xing was quite satisfied with the power of the protective sword gang.
However, compared to the lethality of the sword gang, its combination with Yuanli, that terrifying defensive power, is enough to withstand the attack of a late-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator!
"Protective sword gang, it can be called the strongest trump card in my hand!"
Su Xing murmured.
The only pity is that the protective sword gang consumes a lot of sword intent and Yuanli. If it is broken or exhausted, Su Xing will not be able to release another protective sword gang in a short period of time.
After getting familiar with the protective sword gang, Su Xing glanced at the simulation panel.
The simulation times just cooled down, and Su Xing was ready to start a new round of simulation!
"Start simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 7700 energy points, remaining energy 150,330,000 points, remaining simulation times none.]
[Simulation starts!]
[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?]
"Draw a golden quality talent!"
Su Xing silently said.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent Golden Thread Jade Garment, the next probability of drawing a golden talent is 30%…]
[Golden Thread Jade Garment]: Purple talent, your talent in textile clothing is amazing, you can easily create gorgeous Taoist robes, which are quite popular among cultivators in the cultivation world.
"Got it, it's another garbage talent, fortunately there is a guaranteed probability…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, no longer paying attention to the newly drawn talent, but instead planned the goal of this simulation.
"Currently my cultivation level is at the peak of the fourth stage of the Unity Stage… It shouldn't be difficult to break through to the eighth stage of the Unity Stage in the simulation!"
"Besides, the protective Qi also needs to be further strengthened. If it can reach the Great Perfection level, it should be possible to start breaking through to the Great Perfection stage of body refinement!"
But then Su Xing frowned slightly.
"However, the eighth stage of the Unity Stage requires 2 billion energy… Plus the Great Perfection of the protective Qi, it will take at least 3 billion energy… The energy next week seems to be a little insufficient!"
Su Xing sighed. At best, after he handed over the goods next week, he would only have 2.4 billion energy in hand, which is still a big gap!
"Forget it, let's simulate and see… If the energy is insufficient, then I can only exchange some of the materials obtained from the Wanmu Ruins for energy…"
The number of treasures in Wanmu Zhenren's storage artifact is far more than the number in the Patriarch Dog's storage bag!
After all, this is the entire wealth of a half-step Unity Stage cultivator!
It is even richer than many Unity Stage cultivators.
Because before Wanmu Zhenren fell asleep, he had already taken most of the wealth of the Wanmu Sect for himself!
The materials in the storage ring of Wanmu Zhenren that Su Xing obtained are numerous, with piles of various rare treasures, ore artifacts, medicinal herbs and materials…
However, for a while, Su Xing couldn't sort them out, so he could only wait until after the simulation to check carefully.
"Let's simulate first!"
Su Xing's gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realize that you are in the simulation.]
[You trade with Lu Yuanwu as usual without encountering any problems.]
[During this period, Lu Yuanwu told you that in another month and a half, he will be able to obtain 10,000 tons of third-order alien metal approved by the military.]
[After trading with Lu Yuanwu, you return to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven and accumulate the state of Great Wisdom.]
[Ten days later, you went to the Luotien copy.]
…
[After the immersive simulation ends, you gain a lot, and your understanding of the Way of Puppetry has become more refined.]
[At the recommendation of Luo Shuyin, you joined the Descending Sect.]
[After joining the Descending Sect, two years passed in a blink of an eye…]
[In the third year, you refined more than 200,000 pills and secretly offered them to the Daxia military.]
[And your Qi cultivation also broke through to the fifth stage of the Unity Stage a year ago.]
[Without the need to refine pills, you devote all your energy to understanding the protective sword gang and improving your Qi cultivation.]
[In the same year, you consumed 900,000 drops of middle-grade spiritual liquid, and your cultivation level increased rapidly.]
[In the fourth year, your cultivation level increased to the peak of the fifth stage of the Unity Stage.]
[In the fifth year, you consumed 1 million drops of low-grade spiritual liquid, and with one go, you broke through to the sixth stage of the Unity Stage!]
[In the sixth year, you began to focus on understanding the protective sword gang.]
[With these years of cultivation, you have mastered a total of 149 protective sword gangs, and their power is even greater than before.]
[In the seventh year, you designed to eliminate the current leader of the Natural faction and took his place.]
[In the eighth year, you killed the Old Dog Long, eliminating the biggest hidden danger on Blue Star.]
[In the ninth year, your cultivation level increased to the mid-stage of the sixth stage of the Unity Stage.]
[With the increasing improvement of your cultivation level, the amount of spiritual energy you need is even greater. Fortunately, you still have millions of drops of spiritual liquid, which is enough to cultivate to the peak of the sixth stage of the Unity Stage.]
[But what interests you more is the branch of the innate Fuso Divine Tree you got from Wanmu Zhenren.]
[You found that this branch contains a wisp of the Dao of Wood, and a wisp of the Dao of Fire.]
[These two wisps of Dao are not the basic origin, but the true understanding of the Dao. If you can comprehend them, you will definitely benefit a lot.]
[You are not yet able to directly comprehend the Dao principles, but you can analyze abundant wood and fire origin power from it, which also benefits you a lot.]
[So, in the next two years, in addition to cultivation, you also began to try to comprehend this unremarkable branch.]
[In the eleventh year, two years have passed, and your understanding of wood and fire origin power has already touched the surface.]
[The origin of wood is full of vitality, which can make your vitality more vigorous and speed up the recovery of injuries.]
[Even if you comprehend the origin of wood frequently, you can also prolong your life, and your lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary Unity Stage cultivators.]
[And the origin of fire makes your spiritual energy more destructive, and the power of your Lihuo Technique has increased a lot.]
[What excites you even more is that you seem to be able to integrate the power of wood and fire origin into the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Technique, making the power of the Gathering Spirit Technique increase several times…]
[But unfortunately, you haven't fully mastered the power of wood and fire origin yet, and Xue San has already descended on Blue Star.]
[After much deliberation, you believe that at the current stage, the improvement of Qi cultivation is greater than the understanding of the two Daos, so you offer the branch and successfully gain Xue San's trust and pass.]
Su Xing raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
"That's right! Unity Stage cultivators can further comprehend the origin power…"
"And I am a dual wood and fire mutated spiritual root, and my innate understanding of the Dao of Wood and Fire is better than that of ordinary cultivators. Maybe later, I can carefully comprehend these two origin powers!"
For Su Xing, whether it is the acceleration of injury recovery by the origin of wood or the enhancement of the Lihuo Technique by the origin of fire, they are all important.
The Five Elements Gathering Spirit Technique, as Su Xing's self-created supernatural power, needless to say.
"In future simulations, if I need to improve my cultivation level, I will offer the branch and keep the spiritual vein dragon…"
"If I need to improve my understanding of the Dao of Wood and Fire, I will offer the spiritual vein dragon and keep the branch…"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he gradually figured out the routine.
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[After Xue San left, you temporarily stopped comprehending the origin of wood and fire, but instead focused on improving your cultivation level and understanding the protective sword gang.]
[You took out the spiritual vein dragon from the Wanmu Sect ruins and introduced it into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven. The spiritual energy became more abundant, and middle and low-grade spiritual liquid was produced every day.]
[In the thirteenth year, after consuming millions of drops of spiritual liquid, your cultivation level increased to the peak of the sixth stage of the Unity Stage, only one step away from the late stage of the Unity Stage.]
[You know that this small bottleneck is not easy to break through, so you simply grind it slowly and put more thought into understanding the protective sword gang.]
[In this way, two years passed slowly…]
[In the fifteenth year, the total number of sword gangs you have mastered has reached 186, and the power of the protective sword gang has become even greater than before.]
[Now that you launch 186 sword gangs together, the power is comparable to a full-strength attack from a late-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator.]
[This sword gang has become one of your strongest trump cards…]
[In the sixteenth year, you consumed 200,000 drops of middle-grade spiritual liquid and attempted to break through to the late stage of the Unity Stage.]
[You failed to break through, your spiritual energy was in chaos, and it took half a year to recover after adjusting your breath.]
"En? The breakthrough failed…"
Su Xing was stunned for a moment. He had almost never failed in the breakthrough of minor realms.
However, the breakthrough from the middle stage of the Unity Stage to the late stage now failed.
"Sigh, it seems that as the cultivation level increases, it is becoming more and more difficult to break through the bottleneck…"
"The three-line mutated spiritual root can still reap the benefits in the Unity Stage, but if you enter the Great Ascension Stage, I'm afraid you will completely lose the advantage…"
"Even with my nine-turn golden elixir and super-grade Nascent Soul… There is a failure rate in breaking through to the late stage of the Unity Stage, let alone ordinary cultivators…"
Su Xing sighed.
The path of cultivation relies too much on aptitude and resources…
If Su Xing wanted to improve his aptitude, there are currently only two ways.
First, draw a golden quality spiritual root.
Second, achieve the second stage of the Heavenly Thunder Body, further purify the thunder spiritual root, and thus improve the quality of the spiritual root…
"It's a pity that the miniature Gathering Spirit Formation only speeds up the cultivation speed during normal cultivation, and the breakthrough still relies on the aptitude of the spiritual root…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. He vaguely guessed that the reason why the Five Elements Zhenren failed to break through to the Unity Stage back then was probably because his true spiritual root aptitude was not enough, right?
"However, the late stage of the Unity Stage is just a small bottleneck, and it should be no problem with a little polishing…"
Su Xing adjusted his mentality and looked back at the simulation panel.
[After failing to break through to the late stage of the Unity Stage, you are not discouraged, but instead pay more attention to the polishing of your cultivation level.]
[This year you went to the Beast Control Realm Killing Battlefield and killed hundreds of legendary beasts and three Yao Emperors.]
[In the seventeenth year, the number of sword gangs you have mastered has reached 196, and their power has slightly improved.]
[In the eighteenth year, you prepared 100,000 drops of middle-grade spiritual liquid and millions of drops of low-grade spiritual liquid and made another attempt to break through.]
[This time, you succeeded.]
[Congratulations on entering the seventh stage of the Unity Stage and becoming a late-stage Unity Stage cultivator!]
[In the nineteenth year, when you were searching through the storage ring of Wanmu Zhenren, you accidentally discovered a diary.]
[This diary records some of the experiences of Wanmu Zhenren.]
[When you are free, you occasionally read it and find it quite interesting.]
[One day, you obtained a key piece of information from it.]
[The location of the ruins of the last sect of the Immortal Martial Era, the Yuhuo Sect, thousands of years ago!]
In the real world, Su Xing raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
"The three major sects of the Immortal Martial Era, the Five Elements Sect is good at setting up formations, and I obtained the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique to improve the Gathering Spirit Technique, and also obtained the Five Elements Formation, the miniature Gathering Spirit Formation and other key inheritances…"
"And the Wanmu Sect is good at alchemy, and it must have a more complete alchemy method, thousands of spiritual herbs… and that Wanmu Determination Technique!"
"As for the Yuhuo Sect, it seems to be good at refining tools… Maybe there are treasures I need in these ruins?"
A look of interest appeared on Su Xing's face.
The first two sect ruins both brought Su Xing considerable surprises.
I wonder what kind of surprise the last ruin will bring to Su Xing?
Thinking of this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel with a sense of exploration.
[This information about the last ancient sect ruins aroused your interest.]
[So you decided to explore the Immortal Martial Era copy.]
[According to the clues in the diary of Wanmu Zhenren, you spent a lot of effort and finally found the location of the Yuhuo Sect ruins.]
[Unlike the previous two sect ruins, the Yuhuo Sect ruins are located in an underground cave in the Immortal Martial Continent. The temperature inside the cave is extremely high, and there are magma earth fires accompanying it.]
[You broke the formation of the ruins and entered the interior of the ruins.]
[This is still an ancient tomb, but the surrounding temperature is extremely high. You release your divine sense and enter it.]
[During this period, you encountered two puppets at the initial stage of Breaking Void, which you easily dealt with.]
[But when you were about to enter the core of the ruins, you were blocked by a restriction that blocked your path.]
[This restriction is different from ordinary formations. It actually requires a certain understanding of the origin of fire to be perfectly unlocked.]
[Your understanding of the origin of fire is insufficient, and you cannot perfectly break the restriction.]
[So you chose a more violent method, break through with force!]
[You swung your fist and used Yuanli and a trace of the origin of force. The terrifying force instantly caused the restriction to collapse.]
[But what you didn't expect was that after the restriction collapsed, the core of the ruins began to collapse.]
[Fortunately, your cultivation level is profound and your physical strength is extraordinary, and you successfully escaped from the ruins, but you are unable to explore the core area of the ruins.]
[You left the Immortal Martial World with some regret…]
"En? It's actually a ruin with a self-destruct mechanism, and it can't be opened violently from the outside…"
A look of surprise appeared on Su Xing's face.
"Perhaps, the Yuhuo Sect ruins also hide some secrets and treasures?"
"Forget it… When my understanding of the origin of fire is sufficient in the future, I will find a way to open it…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, although he felt a little regretful, he didn't care too much.
His gaze fell on the simulation panel again.
[After leaving the Immortal Martial Era copy, you continue to cultivate in seclusion.]
[In the twentieth year, after your cultivation level increased to the late stage of the Unity Stage, the breakthrough of minor realms takes hundreds of years.]
[Even for you, it is not easy to break through one realm without sufficient resources.]
[Because you are accumulating spiritual liquid, your cultivation level is still at the initial stage of the seventh stage of the Unity Stage.]
[In the twenty-first year, you comprehended three more sword gangs, and the total number of sword gangs you have mastered has reached an astonishing 208.]
[But you still haven't reached the Great Perfection level of the protective sword gang.]
[You continue to work hard to comprehend the protective sword gang and strive to improve your cultivation level.]
[In this way, four years passed.]
[In the twenty-fifth year, you consumed 2 million drops of spiritual liquid, and your cultivation level successfully increased to the mid-stage of the seventh stage of the Unity Stage.]
[There are only three years left before the Yao Saint descends.]
[So you prepare to step up your understanding of the protective sword gang.]
[In the twenty-eighth year, this year, the number of protective sword gangs you have mastered has reached 236.]
[One day, you used divination to calculate that there will be a minor calamity in Zhenyao Pass within seven days.]
[You immediately understood that the Heavy Pupil Yao Saint is about to descend into this world…]
[Sure enough, seven days later, the Yao Saint descended!]
[Countless beast armies pressed down on the city, wanting to destroy it.]
[You stand on a flying sword, in the high sky, declaring war on the Yao Saint…]
[The Heavy Pupil Yao Saint was indeed fooled, and you fought a great battle with him, pretending to be evenly matched, in order to buy time.]
[In the following five years, you do this every year…]
[In the thirty-third year, over the past few years, you have fought with the Yao Saint every year, but you have not slackened in your cultivation.]
[You swallowed the 3 million drops of spiritual liquid you had accumulated and broke through to the late stage of the seventh stage of the Unity Stage in one go. You are only one step away from the eighth stage of the Unity Stage…]
[And your understanding of the protective sword gang has also improved day by day.]
[Five years have passed, and the number of protective sword gangs you have mastered has reached 254!]
[When 254 protective sword gangs are launched together, the astonishing sword gang that erupts can even be comparable to a blow from a peak-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator!]
[And the defensive enhancement brought by the protective Qi has also approached that of a peak-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator.]
[This year, the Yao Saint launched a final battle with you.]
[You know that after this battle, the Yao Saint will discover the clues and choose to retreat.]
[But you don't intend to let him go, but have truly developed a killing intent!]
[So during the battle, you pretend to be unable to resist, and are suppressed by the Heavy Pupil Yao Saint everywhere.]
[But at a critical moment, you burst out with 254 protective sword gangs in one go!]
[This is comparable to a blow from a peak-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator!]
[And the Heavy Pupil Yao Saint, who only has the strength of a middle-stage Yao Saint, even though his bloodline is extraordinary and his physical body is amazing, is still instantly killed under this blow!]
[Immediately afterwards, you annihilated the Heavy Pupil Yao Saint's soul.]
[You found storage items on the corpse of the Yao Saint, most of which are used by alien races and are useless to you.]
[From the storage items of the Yao Saint, you obtained a lot of information. You learned that the Yao Saint comes from the "Gluttonous Beast" clan, the royal family of the Yao race.]
[At the same time, you also have a general understanding of the strength of the alien races.]
[Alien races are numerous and numerous, with tens of millions of races, but the strongest among them are several camps: Yao, Mo, Xie, Shen…]
[The Yao race among the alien races is different from the ordinary Yao race in the Three Thousand Worlds. They possess a strange energy to distinguish their identities.]
[And among the alien races, the hierarchy is extremely strict.]
[In addition to cannon fodder alien races and ordinary alien races, there are also royal families, imperial families, emperor families, and saint families…]
[The higher the level of the alien race, the stronger the bloodline and strength they possess.]
[The outstanding members of the emperor family and saint family can kill enemies across levels as easily as eating and drinking. They are also top-notch geniuses in the entire Three Thousand Worlds.]
[You have learned about the alien races and are even more curious about this race that keeps invading the Three Thousand Worlds and destroying the world.]
[But with your current strength, you are not yet qualified to pay attention to these.]
[So you took out the life-saving trump card from the Yao Saint's body and found that it was a strange sphere.]
[Your heart moved, and you tried to activate this trump card, but then the ominous avoidance warning came, and you quickly stopped activating it.]
[You understand that perhaps activating this trump card will bring you a life-and-death calamity.]
"This life-saving trump card… is it able to teleport the Heavy Pupil Yao Saint to other worlds? Perhaps the world it teleports to is the Yao race's base camp?"
"That's right… If I activate this trump card in private, it will definitely be a death sentence!"
Su Xing murmured.
After killing the Heavy Pupil Yao Saint, Su Xing obtained a lot of information from the Yao Saint.
The overall strength of the alien races is even stronger than Su Xing imagined!
This Heavy Pupil Yao Saint is just a genius of the imperial family. How terrifying are the even stronger emperor family and saint family?
"Also… According to the information I obtained before, it seems that the Xiao Qingyun Realm is also being invaded by alien races."
"However, the overall strength of the Xiao Qingyun Realm is much stronger than that of Blue Star… so the current situation is still relatively stable…"
But Su Xing could foresee that.
Because of the existence of the Descending Sect, the alien races are powerful… and the human race has become increasingly weaker in recent years.
Perhaps one day, not only the small thousand worlds will be lost… Some medium thousand worlds, and even large thousand worlds, will also be in danger of being destroyed by alien races!
"Forget it, don't think about these… I'm still a small Unity Stage cultivator, and I haven't even reached the Immortal Stage, so why should I think about these?"
Su Xing shook his head, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
What will happen to Zhenyao Pass after killing the Yao Saint?
[After killing the Yao Saint, you no longer pay attention to other things, but instead work harder to comprehend the protective sword gang.]
[This year, you consumed the Awakening Pill, combined with the state of Great Wisdom, and in a month, you mastered 54 more sword gangs.]
[The total number of protective sword gangs you have mastered has reached an astonishing 308!]
[When 308 protective sword gangs are launched together, their power is probably infinitely close to that of a first-level Transcending Tribulation Stage expert!]
[And as a defensive measure, even a full-strength attack from a peak-stage Great Ascension Stage cultivator would be difficult to destroy the protective sword gang.]
[At the same time, you also vaguely touched the requirements for the protective sword gang to reach the Great Perfection level.]
[Comprehend 360 protective sword gangs, perfectly integrated, and you may be able to reach the Great Perfection level!]
[You are not far from achieving this goal.]
[It is conceivable that if you successfully master the Great Perfection level of the protective sword gang, you will probably be invincible below the Transcending Tribulation Stage!]
[At that time, your strength will undergo a qualitative change!]
[In the thirty-fourth year, the total number of protective sword gangs you have mastered reached 312, and their power has improved slightly.]
[In the thirty-fifth year, your cultivation level reached the peak of the seventh stage of the Unity Stage.]
[You took out the 800,000 drops of middle-grade spiritual liquid you had accumulated before and tried to break through to the eighth stage of the Unity Stage!]
[Half a year later, you successfully left the seclusion.]
[Congratulations on becoming a Unity Stage eighth-stage cultivator!]
[After reaching the eighth stage of the Unity Stage, you devote all your thoughts to comprehending the protective sword gang.]
[In a blink of an eye, two years have passed…]
[In the thirty-seventh year, the total number of protective sword gangs you have mastered has reached an astonishing 324, not far from the Great Perfection.]
[One day, you used divination to calculate that Zhenyao Pass will face a great calamity within a month.]
[You are immediately startled and then understand that this is the Yao race launching another attack.]
[This time, you didn't choose to escape.]
[You intend to live and die with Zhenyao Pass!]
[Because 324 protective sword gangs have given you almost the offensive power of a Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivator. If no Immortal Stage expert comes, you can defend Zhenyao Pass!]
[And if you return to Blue Star, giant beasts will descend in a few months, and you will not benefit, so it's better to take a gamble.]
[A month later, a terrifying figure descended on Zhenyao Pass.]
[This is a giant beast that is 10,000 zhang tall, and its shape is somewhat similar to the true form of the Heavy Pupil Yao Beast, the "Gluttonous Beast".]
[You know that perhaps after killing the Yao Saint, his elders have come to the door.]
[What makes you feel even more desperate is that this giant beast is indeed at the Immortal Stage strength… which is equivalent to the so-called God level among the alien races!]
[Without any accident, in the face of this God-level combat power, you have no resistance at all.]
[You died!]
[This simulation ends!]
In the real world, Su Xing sighed when he saw this.
"Sigh, I didn't expect that after killing the Yao Saint, the simulation would end earlier…"
"Missing three years, it seems that I shouldn't directly kill the Yao Saint in the future, I have to let him escape."
Su Xing shook his head slightly, this attempt was a small loss overall.
"However… the goals of this simulation have been basically achieved. With 324 protective sword gangs, I am only 36 sword gangs away from the Great Perfection of the protective sword gang."
"In the next simulation, as long as I consume the Awakening Pill and combine it with the immersive simulation, I should be able to reach the Great Perfection level of the protective sword gang!"
"At that time, my defensive power will be comparable to that of a Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivator!"
Su Xing felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.
After the protective sword gang reaches Great Perfection, Su Xing will be able to make a sprint for the Great Perfection stage of body refinement!
"Also, the Yuhuo Sect ruins. When I have time in the future, I can also go and explore them…"
Su Xing looked at the rewards of this simulation.
[Golden Thread Jade Garment]: Purple talent, selling price 1 million energy points.
[Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchanging, the existing alchemy understanding will slightly increase, selling price 10 million energy.
