Chapter 252: Mid-Stage Great Perfection Realm, the Frequent Wars in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains! (First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this.
"In the previous simulation, Tiger Immortal died in the fiftieth year, and subsequently, Tiger Immortal Village was destroyed..."
"In this Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, where Demon Kings roam, without Human Immortal Realm cultivation, it's likely difficult to protect oneself..."
"Tiger Immortal Village has so many demon cultivators and territory, with abundant resources... Without Tiger Immortal, the Earth Immortal Realm demon cultivator, as its pillar, it would be impossible to defend it no matter what!"
Su Xing sighed softly.
In short, it was a single sentence: as long as Tiger Immortal was around, Tiger Immortal Village would be safe and sound.
If Tiger Immortal died, even if Tiger Immortal Village had hundreds of Tribulation Transcendence demon cultivators and thousands upon thousands of Nascent Soul and Mahayana demon cultivators, without a top-tier combat power, they would merely be small fry...
Su Xing followed this line of thought and murmured:
"And now it's the twenty-fourth year of the simulation, leaving less than twenty-six years before Tiger Immortal Village is destroyed..."
"If I want to extend my simulation time, there are essentially two methods."
"First, find a way to escape from Tiger Immortal Village, flee into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and try to traverse the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to reach Qingyun Sect's territory..."
"Second, help Tiger Immortal defend Tiger Immortal Village. As long as Tiger Immortal doesn't fall, I can simulate for several more decades and enhance my cultivation realm even further!"
Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly, pondering the advantages and disadvantages of these two options.
Escaping Tiger Immortal Village had a certain chance of reaching Qingyun Sect's territory.
But the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were extremely dangerous, and Su Xing's Great Perfection Realm strength might not be enough to traverse this region.
Moreover, there were dozens of Earth Immortal Realm Demon Kings, even more Human Immortal Realm Demon Generals, and even Heavenly Immortal Realm Great Demons in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
Other demon cultivators might not be as easygoing as Tiger Immortal. If they captured Su Xing, he would have a nine-in-ten chance of dying.
Even if he miraculously survived, he would probably have his cultivation sealed and be reduced to a tool for farming and alchemy, living a life worse than death...
Su Xing sighed softly. On the surface, he was at ease in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains because Tiger Immortal was protecting him.
In reality, it was still fraught with danger! The world of demon cultivators was far more cruel than that of humans!
"But if I help Tiger Immortal Village, is it feasible?"
"Tiger Immortal's territory is located in the center of the other four Demon Kings, facing attacks from all sides, making it impossible to defend for long..."
"Moreover, among the surrounding Demon Kings, Tiger Immortal's strength isn't particularly outstanding. If he wants to avoid a fatal fate, he must either relocate his territory... or cultivate good relationships with other Demon Kings!"
Su Xing pondered for a moment and then rejected the idea of relocation.
Although Tiger Immortal Village was under attack from all sides, its spirit veins were excellent, and Tiger Immortal's cave abode was close to a blessed land, so he wouldn't easily relocate.
"Then, only cultivating good relationships with other Demon Kings remains..."
Su Xing raised his eyebrows. The relationship between Tiger Immortal and the surrounding Demon Kings was not good, and there must be a reason for it.
If Su Xing could ease the relationship between Tiger Immortal and some of the Demon Kings, he might be able to extend the lifespan of Tiger Immortal Village...
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[Your status in Tiger Immortal Village has significantly improved, making you feel more at ease. You begin preparing to break through to the third level of the Great Perfection Realm!]
[Before the breakthrough, you harvest all the Gathering Spirit Flowers. Otherwise, once you enter seclusion, you won't have time to take care of them.]
[This year, you officially challenge the third level of the Great Perfection Realm!]
[A year passes slowly...]
[In the twenty-sixth year, your body refinement cultivation successfully advances to the third level of the Great Perfection Realm!]
[Among them, the essence of the demon cultivator who was close to the Human Immortal Realm provided you with great assistance.]
[At the same time, you increasingly understand the formidable power of the "Devour Heaven" talent.]
[Without this talent, your cultivation at this time would likely only have barely reached the second level of the Great Perfection Realm.]
[In the twenty-seventh year, you replant Gathering Spirit Flowers and spend more time each day enhancing your physical body cultivation.]
[Thus, three years pass.]
[In the thirtieth year, a new batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers is successfully harvested, and your cultivation has also advanced to the mid-stage of the third level of the Great Perfection Realm.]
[Based on your observations, the battles between Demon Kings have become increasingly frequent over the past three years.]
[Human Immortal Realm Demon Generals have even begun to fall...]
[During this time, you also offered Tiger Immortal some strategies, but he disregarded them.]
[In the world of demon cultivators, strength is paramount, and they often don't care about strategy and tactics, preferring to engage in a direct confrontation.]
[What's more, Tiger Immortal has a straightforward and violent temper, making it even less likely that he would employ tactics. He simply told you to diligently cultivate Gathering Spirit Flowers, and he would surely give you great rewards!]
[You feel a little helpless about this, but you can't say much.]
[In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.]
[In the thirty-third year, your cultivation remains at the mid-stage of the third level of the Great Perfection Realm.]
[You control the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers planted in each round to around five hundred. They mature once every three years. If you plant more, it will affect your cultivation progress.]
[This year, a major event occurred in Tiger Immortal Village.]
[Tiger Immortal and the Bear King from the south clashed over a spiritual spring, and the two forces fought fiercely.]
[But when the battle was at a stalemate, the Golden Leopard Demon King from the east took advantage of the situation and launched a surprise attack on Tiger Immortal from behind. Tiger Immortal lost a Human Immortal Realm late-stage Demon General, greatly weakening his strength!]
[Upon hearing this, Tiger Immortal was instantly enraged and declared war on the Golden Leopard Demon King, but he was attacked from two sides and could only retreat with injuries...]
[Over ten thousand demon cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage and above who accompanied the army were killed, more than half of them. Tiger Immortal Village's strength was greatly reduced.]
[The loss of core combat power wasn't the most critical issue!]
[The most critical issue was that Tiger Immortal was severely injured and wouldn't regain his peak combat power for ten years, only being comparable to an early-stage Earth Immortal.]
[Under these circumstances, Tiger Immortal's territory would inevitably be gradually encroached upon, and it would probably be difficult to even defend the vast Tiger Immortal Village.]
[For a time, the atmosphere in Tiger Immortal Village became extremely delicate. Some demon cultivators were looking for opportunities to defect to other Demon Kings, while others, Tiger Immortal's loyal followers, were also gloomy and despondent.]
[Tiger Immortal himself became taciturn and short-tempered, often killing his subordinates on a whim.]
[At this critical juncture, no demon cultivator dared to offend Tiger Immortal.]
[In this delicate situation, a year passed...]
[In the thirty-fourth year, Tiger Immortal's territory was further eroded, shrinking from its original vast expanse of tens of thousands of miles north and south to only nine thousand miles.]
[Many resources and demon cultivators were swallowed up by other Demon Kings.]
[At the same time, this year, you prepare to risk advising Tiger Immortal to cultivate good relationships with some of the Demon Kings.]
[Otherwise, in a few more years, Tiger Immortal Village's strength will be further reduced. At that time, in the face of an absolute disparity in strength, even tactics might be useless.]
[That day, you presented two hundred and fifty Gathering Spirit Flowers to Tiger Immortal. Seeing that the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers had increased this year, Tiger Immortal was in a slightly better mood and asked what reward you desired.]
[You seized the opportunity to advise him, stating that Tiger Immortal Village had been in poor condition in recent years and hoped that he would cultivate a good relationship with the Golden Leopard Demon King.]
[Tiger Immortal widened his tiger eyes and stared intently at you, as if the word "surrender" did not exist in this fierce tiger's mind...]
[But you weren't flustered because you were confident that Tiger Immortal desired Gathering Spirit Flowers, so he wouldn't do anything to you for this matter.]
[As expected, just as you predicted, although Tiger Immortal was angry, he didn't lose his composure. He merely scolded you a bit, then rewarded you with ten thousand spirit stones and asked you to leave.]
[But you insisted on staying because you were over ninety percent certain that you could ease the relationship between Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard Demon King.]
[And once the relationship improved, Tiger Immortal Village's eastern border would be secure, and they might even gain an ally, which would undoubtedly stabilize the situation!]
[So, you lingered in Tiger Immortal's palace for a while, and Tiger Immortal couldn't do anything to you. He just glared at you with his fist-sized tiger eyes.]
[Finally, Tiger Immortal dismissed all his subordinates and said that he wanted to talk to you alone.]
[When you were the only one left, Tiger Immortal confided in you.]
[It turned out that Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard had once served under a Heavenly Immortal Realm Great Demon, like brothers, for thousands of years.]
[Later, the Heavenly Immortal Great Demon died, and Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard Demon King established their own factions and formed an alliance, hoping to carve out a career for themselves.]
[But later, during a major battle, due to Tiger Immortal's mistake, the Golden Leopard Demon King's son and two daughters all died, leaving the Golden Leopard Demon King with no descendants!]
[You must know that besides some special demon races, most demon cultivators find it difficult to produce offspring, and demon cultivators who cultivate to the Immortal Realm find it even more difficult to have children.]
[In the following hundreds of years, the Golden Leopard Demon King had no offspring, and the vast Golden Leopard Village had no successors.]
[And it was precisely because of this that the Golden Leopard Demon King and Tiger Immortal completely fell out. Tiger Immortal had tried to mend fences many times, but he was ultimately rebuffed.]
[After hearing Tiger Immortal's words, you smiled slightly because you had already learned about the feud between the two Demon Kings.]
[It was precisely because of this that you were over ninety percent certain that you could reconcile the two Demon Kings.]
In the real world, Su Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this.
"Earth Immortal Realm Demon Kings find it difficult to have offspring... Isn't this right up my alley!?"
Su Xing remembered that he had once drawn a talent from his Talent Pool called "Full of Descendants!"
This talent wasn't very useful; it only greatly increased fertility!
With this talent, not only Demon Kings but even True Immortal Great Demons would have to give birth to children for this young master!
"So, as long as I use the 'Gift of Roses' talent to give 'Full of Descendants' to the Golden Leopard Demon King... then not only will I be able to resolve their feud, but the Golden Leopard Demon King will also owe me a karmic debt!"
"And my status in Tiger Immortal Village will become even more stable!"
Su Xing nodded slightly. He finally understood why the Su Xing in the simulation was so confident in resolving the feud.
"If I can resolve the feud, the situation in Tiger Immortal Village will remain unchanged for at least the next twenty years!"
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[After hearing Tiger Immortal's heartfelt words, you state that you are absolutely certain that you can reconcile the Golden Leopard Demon King.]
[Tiger Immortal doesn't believe it at all. How could a feud of hundreds of years be resolved so easily?]
[But you make a military pledge, stating that if you cannot reconcile them, you are willing to spend your life cultivating fields and flowers for Tiger Immortal.]
[To this end, you reveal some information, stating that you also have some knowledge of medicine and specialize in treating male infertility and other difficult-to-treat conditions...]
[Tiger Immortal is surprised upon hearing this and agrees to give it a try.]
[At your strong recommendation, Tiger Immortal takes action.]
[He sends people to find the Golden Leopard Demon King, expressing his hope to host a banquet for him.]
[Naturally, the Golden Leopard Demon King scoffs and not only kills the messenger but also declares that he wants Tiger Immortal's head as an apology.]
[Tiger Immortal is furious upon hearing this and nearly fights the Golden Leopard Demon King to the death.]
[But under your persuasion, Tiger Immortal eventually sends messengers multiple times.]
[And the Golden Leopard Demon King is also surprised and agrees to the banquet request.]
[However, the location of the banquet must be in Golden Leopard Village!]
[And he demands that Tiger Immortal attend the banquet alone, going to Golden Leopard Village!]
[Upon hearing this request, not only do you frown, but the other Demon Generals in Tiger Immortal Village are also unprecedentedly united in their opposition.]
[Because once Tiger Immortal enters Golden Leopard Village, with his injuries, and being on enemy territory, he will undoubtedly be at a significant disadvantage.]
[But Tiger Immortal is bold and courageous, and he agrees to the solo banquet, only bringing you with him.]
[Seven days later, Tiger Immortal takes you to the Golden Leopard Demon King's lair, Golden Leopard Village!]
[The overall strength of Golden Leopard Village is similar to that of Tiger Immortal Village before, but it is backed by the East Sea, so its geographical location is good, and it does not face attacks from all sides.]
[Furthermore, now that Tiger Immortal Village's strength has been greatly diminished, it is not as appealing as Golden Leopard Village.]
[You even see some familiar demon cultivator figures, who seem to have previously resided in Tiger Immortal Village but have now moved to Golden Leopard Village.]
[Your human identity attracts the covetous gazes of countless demon cultivators along the way.]
[But with a single glance from Tiger Immortal, these demon cultivators scurry away in disgrace.]
[Although he is injured, the dignity of an Earth Immortal Realm demon cultivator cannot be violated.]
[Tiger Immortal walks towards the depths of Golden Leopard Village, seemingly very familiar with the place, completely ignoring any potential risks.]
[After a while, under Tiger Immortal's guidance, you arrive at a cave abode palace.]
[You see the Golden Leopard Demon King, two zhang and five chi tall, sitting on the throne at the top of the palace, his expression cold and emotionless.]
[Although it's a banquet, there is no wine or food in the hall.]
[The Golden Leopard Demon King is amused that Tiger Immortal actually dared to attend the banquet alone. A surge of Earth Immortal Realm aura emanates from him, pressing down on you and Tiger Immortal.]
[Tiger Immortal protects you behind him and releases his own aura as well.]
[The two auras collide in mid-air, creating a massive wave that causes the surrounding demon cultivators to change color and hold their breath.]
[After a moment of clashing, the Golden Leopard Demon King is the first to retract his aura.]
[Tiger Immortal remains unfazed and summons a large stone chair, sitting on it.]
[The Golden Leopard Demon King's eyes flicker with uncertainty upon seeing this, as Tiger Immortal didn't lose in the slightest during the exchange, seemingly showing no signs of injury.]
[King against king, general against general. Now that the two Demon Kings are facing each other, the surrounding Human Immortal Realm Demon Generals dare not speak.]
[Then, the Golden Leopard Demon King lets out a cold snort and questions Tiger Immortal's audacity, not only daring to attend the banquet but also bringing a human cultivator who is not even at the Immortal Realm.]
[Tiger Immortal lets out a cold snort in response, wanting to say something but stopping himself.]
[At this moment, you speak up and say that you are proficient in medicine and have learned a supreme medical art that specializes in treating difficult-to-treat conditions and infertility.]
[The Golden Leopard Demon King doesn't take it seriously. He knows that he has no illness, but as he gets older and his cultivation becomes deeper, it becomes difficult to have offspring.]
[But Tiger Immortal speaks up and says that he came precisely to resolve their feud.]
[If the medical treatment is ineffective, Tiger Immortal is willing to cede a thousand miles of territory and a mid-grade spirit vein as compensation!]
[Upon hearing Tiger Immortal's words, the Golden Leopard Demon King is surprised and ultimately agrees to receive your medical treatment.]
[You nod slightly, touched by Tiger Immortal's trust.]
[Then, you take out a set of acupuncture tools, walk in front of the Golden Leopard Demon King, and begin a seemingly serious diagnosis.]
[You observe the Golden Leopard Demon King's tongue coating at times, take his pulse at others, and use needles to unblock his meridians. The entire process is very convincing.]
[But in reality, you secretly activate the "Gift of Roses" talent and give your useless "Full of Descendants" talent to the Golden Leopard Demon King.]
[The entire medical process lasts for half an hour, and finally, you spit out a mouthful of blood, your face pale and your breath weak.]
[Tiger Immortal is surprised and wants to come forward to check on you.]
[But you stop him with your hand, stating that you have simply used a once-in-a-lifetime secret technique. This technique can cure infertility, but it will shorten your lifespan by a thousand years.]
[Tiger Immortal is relieved upon hearing this, while the Golden Leopard Demon King is somewhat amazed.]
[With his cultivation, he can vaguely sense that at a certain moment, a connection was established between you and him.]
[But he doesn't understand the Dao of Karma, so he doesn't know that he has already been entangled with your karma.]
[After the treatment, you state that the Golden Leopard Demon King only needs to engage in frequent sexual activity, and offspring will be born within three to five years!]
[The Golden Leopard Demon King waves his hand and doesn't say much.]
[Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard Demon King agree that if the Golden Leopard Demon King doesn't have offspring within five years, the thousand miles of territory and the spirit vein will be given as promised.]
[Under Tiger Immortal's protection, you successfully leave Golden Leopard Village.]
[This banquet was thrilling but ultimately safe.]
Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this and murmured:
"Then, all that remains is to wait patiently for the Golden Leopard Demon King to give birth to offspring, and then the crisis in Tiger Immortal Village will be considered half-resolved..."
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[In the thirty-fifth year, you continue to live in Tiger Immortal Village, cultivating and enhancing your cultivation every day.]
[After reaching the Great Perfection Realm, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve body refinement cultivation. You are still some distance from the late-stage of the third level of the Great Perfection Realm.]
[This year, the Golden Leopard Demon King doesn't seem to have produced any offspring, and Golden Leopard Village continues to attack Tiger Immortal Village...]
[Thus, two years pass.]
[In the thirty-seventh year, you successfully emerge from seclusion, your cultivation reaching the late-stage of the third level of the Great Perfection Realm!]
[You are in a good mood and use your cheat to divine that good things will happen soon!]
[Sure enough, a month later, news comes from Golden Leopard Village that the Golden Leopard Demon King's four concubines have given birth to offspring!]
[Three sons and one daughter. Golden Leopard Village has successors, and the Golden Leopard Demon King is in a very good mood.]
[At the same time, the Golden Leopard Demon King invites Tiger Immortal to a banquet, expressing his desire to host a banquet for you.]
[Tiger Immortal is very surprised to hear this. For hundreds of years, he hasn't had any offspring, but after you treated him, he had four in three years!]
[This kind of change is miraculous.]
[To show his sincerity, the Golden Leopard Demon King chooses the border between the two Demon Kings' territories as the location of the banquet.]
[On the day of the banquet, Tiger Immortal takes you and several Human Immortal Realm Demon Generals to the appointment.]
[This banquet is not a trap. The Golden Leopard Demon King expresses his gratitude to Tiger Immortal and renews their alliance agreement, guaranteeing that he will never attack Tiger Immortal's rear, and the two will henceforth watch out for each other.]
[At the banquet, the two Demon Kings drink until they are completely drunk, and their relationship returns to what it was a thousand years ago, as close as brothers.]
[The Golden Leopard Demon King also wants to thank you. He has learned about your preferences in advance and prepares hundreds of catties of Human Immortal Realm blood essence for you.]
[After the banquet, you return to Tiger Immortal Village.]
[Afterwards, you begin to try refining the Rebirth Transformation Pill.]
[However, the energy contained in the blood essence of Human Immortal Realm demon cultivators is far too different from that of Mahayana and Tribulation Transcendence stages.]
[You find it difficult to control the precision of the refining process.]
[You spend two years barely figuring out the method for refining this level of Rebirth Transformation Pill.]
[In the thirty-ninth year, you consume a Human Immortal Realm Rebirth Transformation Pill and try to cultivate.]
[But you find that although the effect of this level of Rebirth Transformation Pill is good, its medicinal power is too strong. If you want to completely absorb it, it will take several days.]
[That is, consuming one pill every three days is enough for your cultivation needs.]
[But even so, the speed at which your body refinement cultivation improves is nearly 50% faster than before!]
[Thus, another three years pass...]
[In the forty-second year, after consuming a large number of Rebirth Transformation Pills, your cultivation gradually approaches the peak of the third level of the Great Perfection Realm.]
[You begin to prepare for the relevant matters related to breaking through to the fourth level of the Great Perfection Realm.]
[In the past few years, the relationship between Tiger Immortal Village and Golden Leopard Village has gradually improved, and the pressure facing Tiger Immortal Village is not as great as before.]
[Tiger Immortal's injuries from a few years ago have also mostly healed, and his combat power has returned to its peak.]
[But the situation in Tiger Immortal Village doesn't seem optimistic. In the past ten years, nine of the thirty-six Demon King factions in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains have been destroyed.]
[This has never happened in the past thousands of years.]
[You increasingly suspect that there is an unknown force outside the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains that is fueling the chaos and accelerating the massive loss of Demon King factions.]
[And since the "Golden Leopard Village" incident, your status in Tiger Immortal Village has further improved. Tiger Immortal has come to regard you as his strategist.]
[Therefore, you advise Tiger Immortal to avoid conflict with the surrounding Demon King factions as much as possible and to unite instead to face potential risks.]
[But Tiger Immortal disregards this, as he is in the midst of a crucial period of territorial disputes with the Bear King.]
[The two factions have suffered casualties over the years in their struggle for spirit veins, accelerating their internal attrition.]
[In the forty-third year, after your advice is ignored, you focus more on breaking through bottlenecks.]
[Because you are only temporarily under Tiger Immortal's command, only your own strength is your absolute reliance.]
[After Tiger Immortal Village and Golden Leopard Village reconciled, the situation has been stable, and the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are not so easy to destroy.]
[In the forty-fourth year, you present three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers to Tiger Immortal. Tiger Immortal is in a good mood and rewards you with a lot of blood essence from Human Immortal Realm Demon Kings.]
[At this time, your cultivation has reached the peak of the third level of the Great Perfection Realm. After refining the Rebirth Transformation Pill, you prepare to break through the bottleneck.]
[After half a year of seclusion, you fail to break through.]
[The small bottleneck between the early and mid-stages of the Great Perfection Realm is not so easy to break through.]
[And your body refinement talent is only purple, so it doesn't give you a significant advantage.]
[And the "Devour Heaven" talent, which maximizes the digestion of demon king blood essence, allowing you to devour higher-level energy, cannot help you directly break through the bottleneck.]
[After failing to break through, you are somewhat dejected, but you quickly regain your composure and prepare to accumulate a foundation before attempting another breakthrough.]
[Thus, two years pass...]
[In the forty-sixth year, the battles between Demon Kings become even more frequent. Fortunately, Tiger Immortal's strength is considerable, so he hasn't been severely injured, and Tiger Immortal Village's status remains relatively stable.]
[This year, you have accumulated a lot of blood essence and are ready to try breaking through again!]
[After eight months of seclusion, you successfully break through to the fourth level of the Great Perfection Realm!]
[Congratulations on becoming a mid-stage Great Perfection Realm cultivator!]
[In the forty-seventh year, you hear some bad news from Tiger Immortal.]
[The battles between the Small Qingyun Realm and the heterogenous races have suffered heavy casualties in recent years.]
[Several months ago, two Heavenly Immortal-level demon cultivators fell!]
[And because of this, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are even more chaotic, with all the Demon Kings eager to encroach on the territory and wealth left behind by the Heavenly Immortal Great Demons.]
[Under these circumstances, in just three years, several Demon Kings have fallen.]
[The thirty-six Demon Kings of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains have been reduced to less than twenty...]
[In the fiftieth year, you are slightly wary because Tiger Immortal died and Tiger Immortal Village was breached in this year in the previous simulation.]
[You are worried that history will repeat itself, so you constantly remind Tiger Immortal to be careful.]
[One day, Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard Demon King meet and discuss matters.]
[It turns out that the Golden Eagle Demon King behind Tiger Immortal has fallen, and his ten thousand miles of territory and several spirit veins are ownerless.]
[The two Demon Kings plan to seize the opportunity to expand their forces and seize resources...]
(There will be another chapter during the day~)
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 253: The Power of a Hundred Mountains, the Prerequisite for Cultivating the Great Witch Body Refinement Art! (Bonus Update for Monthly Tickets, Requesting Monthly Tickets~)
Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this, feeling a sense of worry in his heart.
"The last simulation encountered a change in the fiftieth year, leading to the destruction of Tiger Immortal Village..."
"But this time, Tiger Immortal wasn't injured, and he's formed an alliance with the Golden Leopard Demon King. There shouldn't be any accidents, right?"
Su Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
It wasn't that he had any feelings for Tiger Immortal Village, but if Tiger Immortal Village was destroyed, it would essentially mean that his current simulation was over.
"Also, as my cultivation increases... breaking through realms becomes increasingly difficult."
"Even with the 'Devour Heaven' talent's enhancement, I only managed to break through to the mid-stage of the Great Perfection Realm with difficulty..."
"Without this golden talent, I probably wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the third level of the Great Perfection Realm in these few decades!"
Su Xing sighed.
Even with this speed, it was achieved with the ample support of high-level demon king blood essence.
Without these blood essences, it would be even more difficult for Su Xing to break through!
"It seems... it's time to increase the probability of drawing golden talents."
Su Xing sighed softly. His current probability of drawing a golden talent was 10%, and it gradually increased.
But Su Xing could spend energy to increase the probability to a maximum of 50%.
This required supplementing 4 billion energy points.
However, Su Xing was currently short on energy, and it wasn't realistic to come up with this extra energy.
"Fortunately, Lu Yuanwu will have a large amount of energy coming in soon..."
"In at most two or three weeks, I'll have extra energy to improve my talent drawing probability."
Su Xing comforted himself and turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
[Knowing about the two Demon Kings' conspiracy, you feel a little worried and offer advice.]
[But this is the first collaboration between the two Demon Kings after establishing a good relationship, so they naturally won't listen to your advice.]
[Thus, Tiger Immortal leads several Human Immortal Realm Demon Generals and hundreds of Tribulation Transcendence Great Demons to seize resources...]
[You stay behind in Tiger Immortal Village, feeling apprehensive and ready to run at any moment.]
[Fortunately, a month later, the two Demon Kings return successfully, achieving victory.]
[Tiger Immortal obtains a mid-grade mine vein, and Tiger Immortal Village's territory expands several thousand miles to the north.]
[You feel slightly relieved. With Tiger Immortal as the pillar, the safety of Tiger Immortal Village will be greatly enhanced.]
[Thus, another two years pass.]
[In the fifty-second year, the former thirty-six Demon Kings are now down to sixteen.]
[In the past two years, a Demon King faction has been destroyed almost every year...]
[This makes the two Demon Kings secretly wary and prepares to unite their forces.]
[Your cultivation has also improved slightly in these two years.]
[In the fifty-fourth year, you give Tiger Immortal the new batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers, and Tiger Immortal rewards you with a lot of blood essence.]
[In the fifty-fifth year, an unexpected incident occurs!]
[The Bear King and the Groundhog Demon King attack Tiger Immortal Village. Tiger Immortal is powerless to resist, and Tiger Immortal Village is breached.]
[Tiger Immortal desperately protects a group of core subordinates and his children as they retreat.]
[Ultimately, Tiger Immortal dies in battle, and you escape to Golden Leopard Village with the retreating subordinates.]
[The Golden Leopard Demon King is kind to you, but most of his Demon Generals dislike humans.]
[You have no choice but to keep a low profile and look for a chance to escape.]
[But with Tiger Immortal's death, Golden Leopard Village is also in a precarious position.]
[In the fifty-seventh year, Golden Leopard Village is also breached, and the Golden Leopard Demon King dies in battle...]
[In the chaos, you single-handedly fight your way out, fleeing deeper into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.]
[For three days and three nights, you travel over a million kilometers.]
[One day, a chilly aura suddenly comes from behind you.]
[You turn your head abruptly and see Xue Jiujiu chasing after you.]
[All these years, he has never given up chasing you.]
[You take a deep breath and prepare for a desperate fight.]
[But you are surprised to find that Xue Jiujiu's cultivation has reached the peak of the Human Immortal Realm and is not far from becoming an Earth Immortal.]
[You are completely powerless against him...]
[You die!]
[Ding, the simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ends, Su Xing takes a long breath and sighs inwardly.
"Sigh, I didn't expect to survive the last crisis, and only seven years later... Tiger Immortal Village was breached again."
"And Xue Jiujiu actually managed to hunt me down, which means that he might have known about this news beforehand!"
"The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are experiencing severe internal strife, and it's truly the Arrival Sect behind it!"
Su Xing frowned slightly.
This shows that the Arrival Sect's invasion of the Small Qingyun Realm has gone deep.
And the struggle between the Small Qingyun Realm and the heterogenous races has been going downhill.
The only way to survive for a longer time is to escape to a Great Thousand World?
Thinking about this, Su Xing yearns even more to join Qingyun Sect.
He doesn't expect to obtain endless cultivation resources, but he only hopes to simulate for longer and cultivate a few more realms.
"However... if I could persuade Tiger Immortal Village and the Golden Leopard Demon King to merge their forces, perhaps I could simulate for a little longer..."
Su Xing murmured.
At this stage, Su Xing has only two simulation goals.
First, enhance his cultivation as much as possible.
Second, simulate for as long as possible to explore more secrets of the Three Thousand Worlds beyond Blue Star.
And Su Xing's purpose for going to Qingyun Sect is also for these two goals.
"Alright, let's take a look at the rewards from this simulation..."
Su Xing turns his gaze to the reward list.
[Devour Heaven]: Golden talent, price 10 million energy points.
[Fifty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, your existing alchemy insights will slightly increase. Price 50 million energy points.
[Body Refinement Great Perfection Realm Fourth Level]: The limit realm of mortal body refinement cultivators, Great Perfection Body Refinement, can briefly traverse the void, and the body's strength is beyond imagination. Price 6 billion energy points.
[5000 Gathering Spirit Flowers]: Price 500 million energy points.
Su Xing's goals were clear in this simulation, so the types of rewards weren't many.
"However, the Body Refinement Great Perfection Realm Fourth Level... plus the golden talent, requires over 6 billion simulation energy points... It seems I really need to bleed a lot this time!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. He currently only has over 200 million energy points.
Even if he adds the exotic metal Lu Yuanwu will give him, the energy will only be slightly over 2 billion.
"It seems I can only pin my hopes on Jin Congxue being able to refine more exotic metal..."
"Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to sell some more of Wanmu Zhenren's treasure to barely make ends meet."
Su Xing sighed softly.
Many of the treasures in Wanmu Zhenren's storage ring are useful to Su Xing.
Even if some are not very useful, it's always better to keep them than to simply exchange them for energy.
"Also, my talent slots are full. If I want to exchange for the 'Devour Heaven' talent, I need to replace an existing talent... Otherwise, simply expanding the talent slots would cost 10 billion energy points, which is simply too much!"
Su Xing turns his gaze to the attribute panel.

Su Xing's strength has grown rapidly in recent months.
In addition to the surge in cultivation, his mastery of skills and talents has also been updated.
In addition, a "Source Comprehension" item has also appeared on Su Xing's panel.
"After Source Comprehension comes the Dao Laws... that's a powerful rule that only Immortal Realm cultivators can touch!"
"And my current talents seem to be very important!"
Su Xing is caught in a dilemma. He absolutely must exchange for the golden talent.
But the problem is which talent Su Xing should replace...
"Hmm? But... the Cultivation Hundred Arts talent doesn't seem to be used in every simulation!"
Su Xing's eyes light up.
In addition to alchemy, the Cultivation Hundred Arts also includes talismans, formations, and weapon refinement. Su Xing can specialize in these in certain simulations.
At that time, he only needs to temporarily draw out the talent when he needs it.
Normally, it remains in the talent pool. When he needs it, he can spend a few million energy points to draw it out. Isn't that much more cost-effective than spending 10 billion energy points to expand the talent slots?
"Hmm... the Talisman Expert talent is temporarily useless, so I can replace it with the golden talent 'Devour Heaven' this time!"
Su Xing has a plan in mind.
He glances at the time. Lu Yuanwu must be waiting by now.
So, Su Xing begins to change his appearance and conceal his aura, heading towards the mountains.
...
"Senior!"
At the agreed-upon location, Lu Yuanwu has been waiting for a while and respectfully greets Su Xing.
Su Xing nods slightly, acting like a reclusive expert and simply asks:
"Have you brought the things?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanwu quickly takes out the goods for this week: 1000 tons of exotic metal. Su Xing also takes out 10,000 pills.
Just when Lu Yuanwu thinks that Su Xing will leave as usual, Su Xing suddenly asks:
"By the way, you mentioned 10,000 tons of exotic metal last time. When will you be able to get it?"
Lu Yuanwu's face turns red, and he says, "It'll take three weeks at the fastest, a month at the slowest..."
Su Xing frowns slightly, somewhat displeased, and says:
"Too slow! Give you half a month. You must bring 10,000 tons of exotic metal!"
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu immediately becomes serious.
Lu Yuanwu doesn't dare to offend this "reclusive expert" Su Xing in the slightest. He could even be said to be trying to curry favor with Su Xing.
So, Lu Yuanwu quickly nods and says:
"Yes, within half a month, I will definitely get it for you!"
Hearing this, Su Xing barely nods and then turns to leave.
After Su Xing leaves, Lu Yuanwu puts the pills into his storage ring and murmurs:
"If seniors like him, reclusive experts, are given some benefits, the strength of our Great Xia, and even the entire human race, will surely increase greatly!"
"I must try my best to meet the senior's requirements!"
Lu Yuanwu makes up his mind to do his best to meet Su Xing's needs.
On the other hand, Su Xing doesn't rush back to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven but summons his nine puppets.
Wanmu Zhenren, Puppet Xiaobai, and the other seven Nascent Soul Peak puppets.
Then, Su Xing gives each puppet several sixth-order talismans for protection.
He also takes out some Longevity Pills and low-grade magical artifacts for these puppets.
"The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion plan is about to be implemented... Otherwise, in the future, as my cultivation improves, my energy needs will only increase..."
Su Xing murmurs.
After several previous simulations, Su Xing has basically determined that the Arrival Sect doesn't dare to openly confront or investigate the puppets.
As long as the puppets are careful, nothing unexpected should happen.
Then, Su Xing gives the puppets their orders.
Each puppet wears a cloak. Upon receiving Su Xing's orders, they head to Jinling City, Shanghai, and Guangzhou to engage in transactions.
Su Xing has only one requirement for them.
Without revealing their identities or jeopardizing their safety, they should trade for as many items as possible from the "list."
As for the items on the list, they are naturally various exotic metals, low-grade equipment, dungeon props, etc...
After doing all this, Su Xing doesn't rush back but goes to the Immortal Martial Era dungeon.
Over the next week, Su Xing spends his time mining in the Immortal Martial Era dungeon.
Only this time, Su Xing chooses to mine the spirit vein.
In a week, Su Xing digs out nearly 300,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Seeing that the time for his meeting with Jin Congxue is approaching, Su Xing flies back to Blue Star.
After changing his appearance and concealing his aura and ensuring that he leaves no trace, Su Xing goes to the villa to meet Jin Congxue.
Jin Congxue is wearing a black and white dress today, paired with fishnet stockings, giving her a pure and lustful vibe.
After finishing the meal, the two discuss business.
Jin Congxue first hands Su Xing a storage ring and says:
"Su Xing, this is this week's goods, including the exotic metal..."
"But time is tight. Even though I mobilized as many people as possible in a week, I've only refined less than half of the third-order exotic metal ore..."
"The fourth-order exotic metal here has been refined. It weighs about 120 tons..."
"But I've already mobilized more professionals. I plan to recruit another 3000 silver and bronze-level professionals specifically to refine exotic metal. The speed will be much faster then!"
Su Xing nods slightly and says:
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xue... By the way, this is this week's exotic metal ore. Please refine it as well..."
Su Xing then hands over 2000 cubic meters of fourth-order exotic metal ore, which is expected to refine 4 billion simulation energy points.
Jin Congxue nods slightly and doesn't refuse. She is willing to share Su Xing's burdens.
After saying goodbye, Su Xing cautiously returns to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
Back in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing exchanges the exotic metal refined by Jin Congxue for simulation energy.
Together with this week's goods, Su Xing gains nearly 2.7 billion simulation energy points.
Adding the 2.3 billion he already had, he is still 1 billion short of 6 billion simulation energy points...
"Whew, it seems I'll have to exchange some useless items for energy..."
Su Xing then picks and chooses in his storage ring. Some low-quality ores, low-grade magical artifacts, and useless materials are exchanged for energy.
After piecing together various sources, Su Xing barely manages to accumulate 1.1 billion energy points.
With enough energy, Su Xing silently says:
"Exchange for the Great Perfection Realm Fourth Level cultivation and the 'Devour Heaven' talent!"
[Ding, it has been detected that your talent slots are full. Do you want to replace an existing talent?]
"Replace the Talisman Expert talent with the golden talent 'Devour Heaven'!"
[Ding, replacing talent...]
[You have successfully obtained the golden talent 'Devour Heaven', spending 10 million energy points. Remaining energy: 6,112,330,000.]
[You have successfully obtained the Great Perfection Realm Fourth Level cultivation, spending 6 billion energy points. Remaining energy: 112,330,000.]
As the simulation prompt sounds, two mysterious forces surge into Su Xing's body.
The impact of the golden talent is subtle. Su Xing only feels that his appetite has improved a lot, as if he can eat and digest anything.
But the biggest change comes from the Great Perfection Realm Fourth Level cultivation!
In just a few breaths, Su Xing's aura and physical strength soar.
Great Perfection Realm Second Level... Great Perfection Realm Third Level...
Finally, Great Perfection Realm Fourth Level!
The gap between the three minor realms, including the huge leap from the early to the mid-stage of the Great Perfection Realm,
Increases Su Xing's strength directly from 30 Mountain Power to 100 Mountain Power!
If calculated in tens of thousands of tons, it's countless...
An increase in strength of over three times!
"Whew... 100 Mountain Power. With my current pure physical strength, I can probably match late-stage or even peak Great Perfection Realm cultivators!?"
Su Xing has heard that peak Great Perfection Realm cultivators can possess 100 Mountain Power, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to sink with a wave of their hand.
A single punch can divert a great river, shattering mountains and rivers...
If achieved with magical power, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can also do this.
But this is pure physical strength, naturally incomparable...
And now, Su Xing finally possesses this kind of power.
"Whew... Even with 100 Mountain Power, I can't get cocky!"
"Those powerful beings in the Three Thousand Worlds are all Immortal Realm experts... At the very least, I need to achieve an Immortal Body!"
Su Xing murmurs.
Now he has obtained that supreme body refinement technique, the Great Witch Body Refinement Art.
If he cultivates the first level, he can be comparable to a Human Immortal Realm cultivator!
But this body refinement technique has extremely strict requirements. It needs Great Witch Power, which means he must reach the Human Immortal Realm in Qi Refinement before he can cultivate it.
So, what Su Xing can do now is to refine his body to the peak of the Great Perfection Realm and then switch to cultivating the Great Witch Body Refinement Art.
"Also, I need to quickly enhance my Qi Refinement cultivation and comprehension of the Fire Source. Then I can try to break through to the Mahayana Stage!"
Su Xing glances at the time. The simulation cooldown still has a while, so he sets his goals for the next simulation.
"First, comprehension of the Fire Source. Using immersive simulation, enhance it to the Great Perfection or even Perfection Realm as much as possible..."
"Second, refine my body to the late-stage of the Great Perfection Realm as much as possible. My strength will increase further then!"
"Finally, I need to further comprehend the Protective Sword Qi. Master more Sword Qi. This is my currently strongest offensive method!"
Su Xing thinks to himself.
Soon, the simulation cooldown is complete.
New Era 2024, March 31st, Su Xing begins a new round of simulation.
"Start simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation will consume 8100 energy points. Remaining energy: 112,330,000. Remaining simulation attempts: none.]
[Simulation starting!]
[Spending 100,000 energy points to draw a purple talent, spending 1 million energy points to draw a golden legendary talent. Do you want to draw?]
"Draw a golden talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent 'Hundred Transformations True Monarch'. The next probability of drawing a golden talent is 20%...]
[Hundred Transformations True Monarch]: Purple talent, Cultivation Hundred Arts: Skin-Changing Technique. You have an extremely high talent for disguise. You can easily change your appearance and aura and are not easily discovered by others.
"This talent seems to enhance my disguise and concealment effects... But I don't need it for now!"
Su Xing shakes his head slightly and turns his gaze to the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realize that you are in a simulation!]
[After disguising and concealing your aura, you trade with Lu Yuanwu, and nothing unexpected happens.]
[Ten days later, you enter the Luotian Dungeon as usual to learn Puppet Art...]
[...After the immersive simulation ends, your Puppet Art has improved.]
[At Luo Suying's recommendation, you join the Arrival Sect...]
[In the first two years of joining the Arrival Sect, you refine pills daily and accumulate the enhancement of the Great Wisdom state.]
[In the third year, you give Lu Yuanwu pills to enhance the human race's strength.]
[Afterwards, you begin to wholeheartedly comprehend the Protective Sword Qi!]
[Thus, another two years pass...]
[In the fifth year, you comprehend another ten Sword Qi, bringing the total number of Sword Qi to three hundred and seventy!]
[In the seventh year, you plot to eliminate the leader of the Natural Faction and take his place!]
[In the eighth year, you kill Dragon Old Dog and prepare to refine the Nine Turns Pill.]
[You refine Dragon Old Dog's flesh into Rebirth Transformation Pills, improving your cultivation slightly.]
[Unfortunately, you consume the Nine Turns Pill. Although the Nine Turns Pill's medicinal power is strong, Dragon Old Dog was only a Void Breaking Realm cultivator, and the dragon pearl's power is limited.]
[Your cultivation increases from the early-stage of the fourth level of the Great Perfection Realm to the mid-stage of the fourth level of the Great Perfection Realm...]
[Thus, another three years pass.]
[In the eleventh year, the total number of Protective Sword Qi you have comprehended reaches three hundred and ninety!]
[This year, Blood Three descends, and you offer the Spirit Vein Dragon, obtaining a通行证(pass).]
[After Blood Three leaves, you go to the remains of the Fire Control Sect and see the Vermillion Bird's tail feather...]
In the real world, Su Xing's heart moves upon seeing this, and he silently says:
"Use immersive simulation..."
[Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, spending 72 million energy points. Remaining energy: 34,530,000...]
As the prompt sounds, Su Xing's vision changes.
The next second, Su Xing appears in the core of the remains of the Fire Control Sect.
After skillfully greeting Fire Control Zhenren, Su Xing pries open Fire Control Zhenren's mouth and takes out the Vermillion Bird's tail feather.
The Vermillion Bird's tail feather merges into Su Xing's body, and the Li Huo Art undergoes a subtle change.
Then, Su Xing consumes a Spiritual Awakening Pill, takes out a branch of the Primordial Fusan Divine Tree, and begins to comprehend the Fire Source...
Su Xing's current comprehension of the Fire Source has reached the Small Perfection level.
Ordinary cultivators want to comprehend a source, not only needing to use magical artifacts but also needing to spend hundreds of years...
But Su Xing is currently under the enhancement of the Great Wisdom state, coupled with the Spiritual Awakening Pill, plus the Vermillion Bird's tail feather and the Fusan Divine Tree branch, both of which are treasures containing the Dao of Fire!
In close contact with the essence of the Dao, Su Xing's comprehension of the Fire Source rapidly improves...
On the twenty-third day of the immersive simulation, Su Xing's comprehension of the Fire Source reaches the Great Perfection level!
In the following seven days, Su Xing doesn't waste time and further comprehends the Fire Source!
Until the last hour of the immersive simulation, Su Xing exits the state of comprehension and buries Fire Control Zhenren in a geomantic treasure land.
Soon, the immersive simulation ends...
Su Xing returns to the real world, a satisfied look in his eyes.
"Not bad, a month of comprehension, and the Fire Source has reached the Great Perfection level!"
"It shouldn't be difficult to reach Perfection in the next simulation... If I tell others about this speed, I'll probably scare the Immortals to death!"
Su Xing's lips curl into a slight smile.
Su Xing only spent 72 million energy points on immersive simulation but obtained Great Perfection level comprehension of the Fire Source!
If he had obtained this through simulation, it would have cost at least 1 or 2 billion energy points!
"I comprehend the Fire Source, with Perfection Source as the foundation. In the next simulation... I should be able to smoothly break through to the Mahayana Stage!"
Su Xing murmurs.
"Then, in this simulation, I'll work harder to cultivate the Protective Sword Qi!"
"Go to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains again and try to get the two Demon King factions to merge. Perhaps it's feasible!"
Su Xing turns his gaze to the simulation panel.
[After consuming the Spiritual Awakening Pill, your comprehension of the Fire Source reaches the Great Perfection level!]
[Staying on Blue Star now is extremely slow for improving your cultivation.]
[So, you prepare to go to the Three Thousand Worlds again...]
(Two chapters presented. I will try to repay the debt from last month as soon as possible~)
