Chapter 254: Sixty-Seven Years of Simulation, Invincible Below the Immortal Realm! (10,000 words, Two-in-One)

[You arrive at the Slaughter Battlefield and continue forward, following the direction of the Crimson Moon.]

[You finally reach the end of the Slaughter Battlefield and enter that strange space.]

[You glance at the black passage, knowing that you are still some distance from traversing the spatial turbulence.]

[So, you turn around and enter the Arrival Sect's passage...]

[When you wake up again, you are already in the Mountain Valley Town.]

[Compared to before, your injuries this time are much milder, and you will recover after only two days of rest.]

[You choose the same Arrival node as before, so there are still two years until the next Blood Sprout Grand Competition.]

[So, you continue to be the brothel security guard, accumulating initial funds.]

[In your daily life, you comprehend the Protective Sword Qi, and the number of Sword Qi increases to nearly four hundred!]

[In the blink of an eye, two years pass...]

[In the thirteenth year, you participate in the Blood Sprout Grand Competition, killing over a hundred Void Breaking Realm cultivators and accumulating a large amount of funds.]

[Next, you begin to prepare for escaping the Mountain Valley.]

[You spend two and a half years cultivating three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers and sell the resources you previously seized, exchanging them for high-level alchemy furnaces, various herbs, spirit liquids, talisman paper, and other items...]

[These items are almost non-existent in Tiger Immortal Village. Once you leave the Mountain Valley, it will be difficult for you to obtain them.]

[After making these preparations, you choose an auspicious day and sneak into the forbidden area.]

[Facing two Mahayana Stage guards, you strike decisively, killing them in one fell swoop, then seize the access token and escape from the Mountain Valley.]

[A terrifying aura quickly spreads through the Mountain Valley, and cultivators at the Mahayana and Tribulation Transcendence stages pursue you.]

[But your sword-flying speed is extremely fast. In just a few days, you travel millions of miles...]

[One day, you divine with the hexagrams and predict that you will face a calamity in the next two days.]

[You know that Human Immortal Realm cultivators will be chasing you, so you flee into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and continue your escape.]

[You avoid danger along the way, bypassing the territories of Great Demons, and travel day and night...]

[After half a month, you finally enter the core region of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.]

[At this time, two terrifying magical power fluctuations come from ten thousand miles behind you...]

[You know that Tiger Immortal and Xue Jiujiu are fighting.]

[And soon, Tiger Immortal will be victorious and come after you.]

[You know that with your current escape speed, you won't be able to escape from Tiger Immortal's grasp.]

[So, you simply give up and find a place to take a nap, waiting for Tiger Immortal to come find you.]

[Two days later, Tiger Immortal arrives at this place and looks at you with surprise.]

[You calmly greet Tiger Immortal and express your gratitude for saving your life.]

[Tiger Immortal looks at you with a strange expression. He only prevents humans from entering the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Saving you was just a matter of convenience.]

[Tiger Immortal is about to speak when you begin to pledge your loyalty: "Su Xing has wandered through life's hardships. If you, Master, do not disdain me, I am willing to serve as your loyal subject and help you build a great foundation."]

[Your actions leave Tiger Immortal dumbfounded.]

[You must know that not only do demon cultivators hate human cultivators, but human cultivators also dislike demon cultivators. They are essentially enemies.]

[This is the first time he has encountered a human cultivator like you, and he is quite curious.]

[So, he asks you what your special skills are and why you are being hunted by the Arrival Sect...]

[You say that you are skilled in cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers, so the Arrival Sect captured you, and you barely managed to escape.]

[Tiger Immortal asks how efficient you are at cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers.]

[You say that if you have enough seeds, you can cultivate three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers every five years...]

[At the same time, you take out hundreds of Gathering Spirit Flowers to add credibility.]

[Tiger Immortal is first surprised, then bursts into laughter.]

[He says that he will appoint you as the head of farming in Tiger Immortal Village, and you will be responsible for cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers for Tiger Immortal for the next five hundred years.]

[You pretend to be flattered and follow Tiger Immortal back to Tiger Immortal Village...]

Su Xing looks at the simulation text in front of him and nods slightly.

This is all within Su Xing's plan. Currently, these Gathering Spirit Flowers are useless to him.

Therefore, Su Xing might as well use the Gathering Spirit Flowers as a stepping stone to gain a higher position in Tiger Immortal Village.

In the future, he will also be able to persuade Tiger Immortal Demon King and the Golden Leopard Demon King to reconcile and jointly resist potential future risks.

"The longer the simulation lasts, the more I can improve my body refinement cultivation and comprehend the Protective Sword Qi..."

Su Xing murmurs, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.

[You return to Tiger Immortal Village with Tiger Immortal. Besides cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers, you spend your days cultivating.]

[Although Human Immortal Realm Demon General blood essence is rare in Tiger Immortal Village, Tribulation Transcendence Stage blood essence is not difficult to find.]

[Many demon cultivators consume high-level blood essence to improve their cultivation speed.]

[So, you purchase a batch of Tribulation Transcendence Stage blood essence and start selling Rebirth Transformation Pills.]

[The price remains the same. For every one hundred Rebirth Transformation Pills sold, you earn seventy or eighty catties of blood essence...]

[You sell one hundred Rebirth Transformation Pills every month, and the income is enough for your daily cultivation.]

[In addition, you allocate four fixed hours every day to comprehend the Protective Sword Qi.]

[Under this stable lifestyle, five years pass in the blink of an eye...]

[In the eighteenth year, your cultivation successfully increases to the late-stage of the fourth level of the Great Perfection Realm.]

[At the same time, the number of Sword Qi you have comprehended increases to four hundred and twenty after five years of accumulation...]

[You prepare the three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers you need to pay for the past five years in advance and hand them to Tiger Immortal.]

[Tiger Immortal is in a great mood and invites you to plant the Gathering Spirit Flowers in his cave abode.]

[You follow orders and transplant the Gathering Spirit Flowers for Tiger Immortal. The spiritual energy content in Tiger Immortal's cave abode further increases, approaching the level of a blessed land.]

[This year, wars break out frequently in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and even the territories of Demon Generals and Demon Kings begin to be destroyed...]

[Tiger Immortal has a warlike personality and doesn't get along with the other Demon Kings. His subordinates also suffer casualties.]

[After learning about this situation, you seize the opportunity to advise Tiger Immortal.]

[You explain the current situation of Tiger Immortal Village to Tiger Immortal, stating that the situation is not optimistic. The best course of action is to cultivate a good relationship with the Golden Leopard Demon King, forming a pincer attack to ensure stability in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.]

[Tiger Immortal pretends to disregard your words and rebuffs you.]

[But you know that Tiger Immortal actually wants to reconcile with the Golden Leopard Demon King, but the Golden Leopard Demon King doesn't agree.]

[So, you use the same trick again, stating that you have "ancestral skills" that can help the Golden Leopard Demon King have offspring.]

[After your repeated persuasion, Tiger Immortal agrees to your request.]

[Several months later, you and Tiger Immortal go to Golden Leopard Village for a banquet.]

[Through the 'Gift of Roses' talent, you give the 'Full of Descendants' talent to the Golden Leopard Demon King and then leave with a flourish.]

[Next, you just need to wait patiently for the Golden Leopard Demon King to have offspring.]

[Thus, three years pass...]

[In the twenty-first year, the number of Protective Sword Qi you have comprehended reaches four hundred and thirty-six.]

[At the same time, your cultivation is steadily progressing towards the peak of the fourth level of the Great Perfection Realm...]

[Good news arrives this year: the Golden Leopard Demon King has offspring, three sons and two daughters!]

[The Golden Leopard Demon King is very satisfied with you and sends people to inquire about your preferences, sending you hundreds of catties of Human Immortal Realm blood essence as a reward.]

[You don't refuse. These blood essences are very helpful for you to break through to the fifth level of the Great Perfection Realm. You plan to save them for later use.]

[The Golden Leopard Demon King and Tiger Immortal also reconcile, signing a contract promising not to attack each other and to help each other in critical moments...]

[After resolving the thousand-year crisis of Golden Leopard Village, Tiger Immortal Village's situation improves greatly, and Tiger Immortal can devote more energy to dealing with the Bear King.]

[Although you don't want to see the Demon Kings engage in internal strife, Tiger Immortal cannot stop now. Instead, he frequently consults you on how to eliminate the Bear King.]

[Naturally, you don't say much about this and simply focus on farming.]

[Thus, another two years pass...]

Su Xing nods slightly upon seeing this and murmurs:

"In this simulation, the two Demon Kings formed an alliance earlier, and Tiger Immortal wasn't injured..."

"Presumably, the two Demon Kings' forces will be more stable, and I can also benefit from this and cultivate for a longer time..."

Su Xing's goals remain unchanged: enhance his cultivation realm and comprehend the Protective Sword Qi!

His gaze returns to the simulation panel.

[In the twenty-third year, you transplant the three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers you prepared in advance into Tiger Immortal's cave abode.]

[Tiger Immortal's cave abode, as the most spiritually abundant place in Tiger Immortal Village, has barely reached the threshold of a low-grade blessed land.]

[Tiger Immortal's cultivation was already at the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. Cultivating in this blessed land slightly enhances his cultivation speed.]

[In this year, your cultivation officially reaches the peak of the fourth level of the Great Perfection Realm, and you begin to prepare to break through to the fifth level of the Great Perfection Realm.]

[You take out the blood essence of those Human Immortal Realm demonic beasts and refine them into Rebirth Transformation Pills, which are your reliance for breaking through.]

[Then, you enter seclusion to challenge the bottleneck...]

[After half a year, you successfully emerge from seclusion, your cultivation increasing to the fifth level of the Great Perfection Realm!]

[In the twenty-fourth year, after reaching the fifth level of the Great Perfection Realm, you don't slacken off in your cultivation and continue to strive to improve your cultivation realm.]

[At the same time, the number of your Protective Sword Qi increases to four hundred and fifty this year...]

[Another four years pass...]

[In the twenty-eighth year, you present three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers again, and Tiger Immortal rewards you generously.]

[This year, your Protective Sword Qi increases to four hundred and seventy-three, and its power is enough to threaten Tribulation Transcendence Stage Great Demons!]

[At the same time, the Golden Leopard Demon King's eighteenth offspring is born. In recent years, the Golden Leopard Demon King has had many descendants, and some of them have excellent aptitude.]

[The Golden Leopard Demon King sends you gifts again as a token of gratitude, and the two Demon Kings prepare to jointly confront the Bear King.]

[You know that you can't persuade them.]

[Because in the past ten years, the Demon King factions in the mountains have lost more than one-third of their strength, and Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard Demon King have also gained a lot of benefits.]

[Once the Bear King is eliminated, the two will undoubtedly be able to further expand their territory and seize more resources.]

[In the twenty-ninth year, the Golden Leopard and Tiger Immortal, two Demon Kings, gather dozens of Human Immortal Realm demon cultivators and launch a surprise attack on the Bear King's base camp.]

[This battle lasts for a month...]

[Ultimately, the Bear King is eliminated, and Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard Demon King seize the Earth Immortal Realm demon cultivator's demon pill, further enhancing their cultivation!]

[In the thirtieth year, your cultivation increases to the mid-stage of the fifth level of the Great Perfection Realm.]

[With the concerted efforts of the two Demon Kings, their influence rapidly expands within tens of thousands of miles. In just over ten years, the territory of the two Demon Kings has nearly doubled!]

[Thus, three years pass...]

[In the thirty-third year, you present the Gathering Spirit Flowers and learn some news.]

[A high-grade spirit vein has been discovered within the territory of the two Demon Kings.]

[Tiger Immortal decides to cooperate with the Golden Leopard Demon King to jointly occupy this spirit vein...]

[To this end, the two Demon Kings fight against the Groundhog Demon King and ultimately successfully seize the spirit vein.]

[When you go to investigate the spirit vein, you discover that the location of this spirit vein has an excellent geographical location, suitable for building a demon village and resisting powerful enemies...]

[So, you advise Tiger Immortal to relocate Tiger Immortal Village and move both it and Golden Leopard Village near the spirit vein, forming a pincer attack to resist danger.]

[Tiger Immortal hesitates after hearing this. After all, Tiger Immortal Village has existed for a thousand years. If it relocates, there are too many things to consider.]

[But you know that they have to move. The location of the spirit vein is in the more core region of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. If a real accident occurs, Tiger Immortal Village won't be the first to be attacked. The several Demon Kings on the outer edges will become a natural barrier for Tiger Immortal Village.]

[That's right. This relocation is to guard against the Arrival Sect.]

[But you can't say it directly. You can only entice them with benefits.]

[You state that if Tiger Immortal Village relocates, you can use the power of the spirit vein to set up formations that can enhance Tiger Immortal's cave abode to the level of a high-grade blessed land!]

[And even if you wait a hundred years, it might become a cave heaven-level cave abode!]

[Upon hearing your words, Tiger Immortal can no longer resist such temptation and agrees to your relocation plan.]

[In the thirty-fourth year, Tiger Immortal Village relocates. Hundreds of thousands of demon cultivators migrate in a mighty procession to the vicinity of the new high-grade spirit vein and begin to rebuild Tiger Immortal Village.]

[Under your guidance, Tiger Immortal Village is built to be even more solid, like a human city fortress.]

[At your suggestion, the Golden Leopard Demon King also relocates near the high-grade spirit vein, only a thousand miles from Tiger Immortal Village. If there is a crisis, they can reach each other in a moment.]

[In the thirty-fifth year, the two demon villages are completed.]

[You help Tiger Immortal's cave abode transplant Gathering Spirit Flowers and set up spirit formations. The spiritual energy in the core area of the cave abode barely reaches the level of a high-grade blessed land.]

[You also help the Golden Leopard Demon King set up a Gathering Spirit Formation, allowing the spiritual energy in his cave abode to barely reach the level of a blessed land.]

[With the protection of the two Demon Kings, you feel much more at ease and continue to strive to cultivate.]

"Not bad, a high-grade spirit vein, located in the more core region of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains... With other Demon Kings as a natural barrier on the outer layer, it's much safer..."

"But it's still not safe here. If I could persuade the two Demon Kings to submit to a Heavenly Immortal Realm Great Demon, it might be much safer..."

Su Xing sighs but also knows that the two Demon Kings will undoubtedly not agree.

His gaze returns to the simulation panel.

[In the thirty-eighth year, your cultivation reaches the late-stage of the fifth level of the Great Perfection Realm...]

[At the same time, the number of Protective Sword Qi you have comprehended reaches five hundred and three!]

[You have a faint premonition that the number of Protective Sword Qi has no upper limit and will continue to increase with your comprehension of the Sword Dao!]

[If your comprehension of the Sword Dao is sufficient, you might even be able to summon tens of thousands of Sword Qi at the same time. At that time, the power will be earth-shattering!]

[In the thirty-ninth year, you present five hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers to Tiger Immortal. Tiger Immortal is overjoyed and praises your loyalty.]

[It just so happens that Tiger Immortal has half a Human Immortal Realm demon cultivator's blood essence, and you obtain hundreds of catties of blood essence.]

[You refine these blood essences into Rebirth Transformation Pills, and your cultivation speed increases significantly.]

[In the forty-second year, your cultivation increases to the peak of the fifth level of the Great Perfection Realm!]

[You begin to prepare to break through to the sixth level of the Great Perfection Realm!]

[In the forty-fifth year, after three years of accumulation and preparation, your cultivation finally breaks through to the sixth level of the Great Perfection Realm as if it were a matter of course!]

[After breaking through the Great Perfection Realm, you are in a very good mood and begin to comprehend the Protective Sword Qi.]

[You feel countless sword intents flowing through the Sword Qi, capturing every subtle change.]

[Congratulations on triggering Accidental Enlightenment!]

[This Accidental Enlightenment lasts for a full three days!]

[Comparable to thirty years of your usual hard cultivation!]

[After exiting the Accidental Enlightenment state, you feel a sense of loss.]

[But then, you are overjoyed because the number of your Protective Sword Qi has reached a full six hundred and sixty!]

[The Protective Sword Qi has greatly improved, and you can't wait to test the changes in your own strength.]

[So, you find a Tribulation Transcendence Stage Great Demon in the village and engage in a duel.]

[You discover that six hundred and sixty Sword Qi are enough to make your defense and attack comparable to Tribulation Transcendence Stage demon cultivators!]

[And if you release all the Sword Qi at once, you can severely injure a Tribulation Transcendence Stage demon cultivator!]

[However, there are also a few Tribulation Transcendence Stage demon cultivators who are infinitely close to ascension. Their strength is terrifying, and you are constantly beaten to the ground...]

[But the enormous increase in strength still makes you overjoyed.]

[Thus, two years pass...]

[In the forty-seventh year, one day, Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard Demon King meet, their expressions serious, as if they are discussing something important.]

[You suddenly remember that in the last simulation, two Heavenly Immortal Realm Great Demons fell in this year!]

[As expected, just as you predicted, the two Demon Kings are discussing how to seize benefits from the Heavenly Immortal demon cultivator's territory.]

[Because your status has improved over the past few decades, the two Demon Kings don't avoid you. They even regard you as the third most important figure in the alliance and ask for your opinion.]

[With your previous experience, you know that there won't be any accidents in this action.]

[But you still formulate a strategy.]

[You state that if they want to seize benefits, they must act quickly, and they should only seize resources that are easy to carry, such as heavenly materials and earthly treasures, spirit stones, and spirit liquids.]

[Leave all the other spirit veins and territories alone...]

[The two Demon Kings frown slightly and ask you the reason because in the minds of demon cultivators, the larger the territory, the stronger the representative of strength!]

[You explain the reason slowly. Now that a chaotic era is approaching, an overly large territory will only lead to a shortage of manpower and limited strength. It's better to seize actual benefits and improve cultivation.]

[Once their cultivation improves, they can attack the territory at any time!]

[The two Demon Kings nod repeatedly and heed your advice.]

[So, they only bring elite subordinates and rush to the Heavenly Demon's territory overnight...]

[After half a month, the two Demon Kings return successfully. Although their subordinates suffer casualties, the two Demon Kings' expressions are normal, and it's impossible to tell how much they have gained.]

[After dismissing their subordinates, the two Demon Kings summon you alone. They exchange a glance and then burst into laughter, each rewarding you with hundreds of catties of Human Immortal Realm demon cultivator blood essence.]

[You are overjoyed, guessing that the two Demon Kings have had a great opportunity, and you ask them.]

[The Golden Leopard Demon King hesitates slightly, but Tiger Immortal directly states that they have jointly seized one-third of a Heavenly Immortal Realm Great Demon's demon pill!]

[Even one-third of a demon pill is enough for the two Demon Kings, who have been stuck at the peak of the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm for many years, to break through to the late-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm!]

[You are overjoyed upon hearing this. If the two Demon Kings successfully break through to the late-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, your safety will be more secure!]

[At your suggestion, the two Demon Kings quickly enter seclusion, preparing to break through to the late-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm!]

[In the forty-ninth year, Tiger Immortal emerges from seclusion, achieving the late-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm! His strength skyrockets...]

[In the fiftieth year, the Golden Leopard Demon King emerges from seclusion, achieving the late-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, and his strength also skyrockets!]

[With two late-stage Earth Immortal Realm Demon Kings as pillars, you feel much more at ease.]

Su Xing sees this and takes a long breath.

"Late-stage Earth Immortal Realm cultivation. Among the thirty-six Demon Kings, they are considered top-notch."

"And with the two Demon Kings cooperating, no one below the Heavenly Immortal Realm would dare to easily attack them..."

Pausing for a moment, Su Xing can't help but smile.

"The Protective Sword Qi has truly brought me great surprises! Six hundred and sixty Sword Qi are enough to severely injure a Tribulation Transcendence Stage demon cultivator!"

"In the future, if the number of Sword Qi is sufficient one day, will I be able to reverse-slay an Immortal while at the Mahayana Stage!?"

Su Xing's heart beats rapidly. He has a premonition that this goal might be achievable.

"But this simulation has also reached the fiftieth year. I wonder if there will be enough time for me to break through to the late-stage of the Great Perfection Realm?"

Su Xing frowns slightly.

After reaching a high level of cultivation, every time you improve three minor realms, you will encounter a bottleneck. Breaking through the bottleneck leads to a surge in strength.

But the difficulty of breaking through is not ordinary. It's not strange for ordinary cultivators to be stuck at a small bottleneck for a hundred years...

Su Xing is somewhat expectant, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.

[In the fifty-second year, after consuming a large number of Rebirth Transformation Pills, your cultivation increases to the mid-stage of the sixth level of the Great Perfection Realm!]

[In the fifty-fourth year, the total number of your Protective Sword Qi reaches six hundred and seventy-two!]

[At this time, the internal situation in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is chaotic. Most of the former thirty-six Demon Kings have been eliminated.]

[Even Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard Demon King sense a hint of conspiracy. So, the two Demon Kings stick to their demon villages, no longer going out, and wait quietly for the storm to pass.]

[In the blink of an eye, another three years pass...]

[In the fifty-seventh year, the total number of your Protective Sword Qi reaches six hundred and eighty-six!]

[At the same time, you are secretly vigilant, knowing that Tiger Immortal might be attacked this year.]

[As expected, one night, you are awakened from your cultivation.]

[All you hear is the sound of demon cultivators fighting and screaming.]

[You are startled and guess that Tiger Immortal Village has been attacked!]

[So, you immediately seek help from the Golden Leopard Demon King...]

[After leaving your cave abode, you understand that the Groundhog Demon King and a silver-haired wolf Demon King are attacking Tiger Immortal Village.]

[The two attacking Demon Kings are both at the late-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm!]

[But Tiger Immortal is in good condition at this time, and his cultivation has also reached the late-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. Under the joint attack of the two Demon Kings, he manages to hold on for a while...]

[Soon, the Golden Leopard Demon King arrives and shares most of the pressure with Tiger Immortal!]

[The four late-stage Earth Immortal Realm Demon Kings fight fiercely. The terrifying aftermath of the battle nearly destroys the two demon villages.]

[But ultimately, the Groundhog and Silver Wolf Demon Kings retreat, and the two demon villages successfully defend themselves.]

[After this battle, both the Golden Leopard Demon King and Tiger Immortal are severely injured.]

[And you also learn that the Groundhog and Silver Wolf Demon Kings' surprise attack was to seize the demon pill of the Heavenly Immortal Great Demon to seek an opportunity to become a Heavenly Immortal...]

[You nod secretly, knowing that beyond the Earth Immortal Realm, ordinary demon cultivators won't easily fight to the death except to pursue even higher realms...]

[At the same time, the two Demon Kings are surprised as to how the Silver Wolf and Groundhog Demon Kings knew about this news...]

[You remain silent after hearing this, but you suspect the Arrival Sect...]

[After this battle, you advise the two Demon Kings to only cultivate in their cave abodes and avoid going out as much as possible. Only in this way can they maintain their foundation.]

[The two Demon Kings agree, and their days pass不安稳(uneasily)...]

[In the sixtieth year, in the past few years, the Groundhog and Silver Wolf Demon Kings have come to attack, but they have been repelled by Tiger Immortal and the Golden Leopard Demon King combined. The two demon villages are generally stable.]

[This year, your cultivation increases to the late-stage of the sixth level of the Great Perfection Realm!]

[But as the war continues, the internal attrition of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is extremely severe...]

[Of the former thirty-six Demon Kings, less than ten remain. The weaker ones have even been destroyed without anyone knowing how...]

[You have a faint sense of foreboding, knowing that this might be a sign of the Arrival Sect's imminent attack.]

[So, you warn the two Demon Kings, hoping that they will abandon the high-grade spirit vein and relocate their demon villages to the deeper parts of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains...]

[But the location of this demon village is excellent. The two mansions are perfectly suited to become the foundation for achieving the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The two Demon Kings naturally won't easily give up.]

[What's more, the more core regions of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are the territories of several Heavenly Immortal Great Demons. The Golden Leopard Demon King and Tiger Immortal don't want to be under others' command, and they don't dare to migrate and seize territory.]

[You are not surprised by this, but you don't have any concrete evidence that a crisis is about to come, so you can only cultivate even harder, hoping to reach the seventh level of the Great Perfection Realm as soon as possible...]

[In the blink of an eye, another five years pass...]

[In the sixty-fifth year, the two demon villages have been peaceful in recent years.]

[Although the Groundhog and Silver Wolf Demon Kings occasionally harass them, they cannot break through the demon villages.]

[Finally, the two Demon Kings seem to give up attacking and disappear.]

[Everything is calm, as if you were overly worried...]

[This year, the total number of Protective Sword Qi you have comprehended reaches an astonishing seven hundred and twenty!]

[If all seven hundred and twenty Sword Qi are released, they can even instantly kill a Tribulation Transcendence Stage demon cultivator if they are caught off guard!]

[But as the number of your Sword Qi continues to increase, you also feel a little difficulty...]

[This is because your comprehension of sword intent is insufficient. If you continue to increase the number of Sword Qi, the power of each Sword Qi might be slightly reduced...]

Su Xing sees this with a complicated expression.

"Seven hundred and twenty Sword Qi. My current strength should not yet be considered invincible below the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, but I have a killer move against ordinary Tribulation Transcendence cultivators!"

"As for more Protective Sword Qi, perhaps I need to make the Heavenly Sword Art reach perfection and have a more abundant sword intent before I can comprehend it?"

Su Xing feels a little regret. Simply relying on Sword Qi, he won't be able to match Human Immortal Realm cultivators in the short term...

"Besides, the Groundhog Demon King and the Silver Wolf Demon King have disappeared. Perhaps they were eliminated?"

"Sigh, seeing that Tiger Immortal Village is not far from destruction, the Arrival Sect shouldn't delay any longer. Otherwise, the longer they wait, the more problems there will be..."

Su Xing has a premonition that there might not be much time left in this simulation.

His gaze returns to the simulation panel.

[In the sixty-sixth year, your cultivation increases to the peak of the sixth level of the Great Perfection Realm, and you begin to challenge the late-stage of the Great Perfection Realm!]

[Your first attempt to break through the bottleneck fails. You accumulate a foundation, summarize your experience, and try to break through again...]

[However, things take a drastic turn in the following year!]

[In the sixty-seventh year, the Silver Wolf and Groundhog Demon Kings haven't harassed Tiger Immortal Village for nearly two years.]

[The Golden Leopard Demon King and Tiger Immortal gradually relax and are not as cautious as before in their defenses.]

[But you don't dare to become complacent. Instead, you smell a conspiracy...]

[You try to persuade the two Demon Kings, but they don't listen.]

[With no other choice, you are always prepared to run away...]

[One day, Tiger Immortal Village is suddenly attacked. But the attackers are not demon cultivators but cultivators from the Arrival Sect with blood-lettered codes!]

[You see over ten Arrival Sect cadres descending, each exuding an Earth Immortal Realm aura!]

[This terrifying disparity in strength destroys Tiger Immortal Village like crushing dry weeds. Even when the Golden Leopard Demon King comes to aid, it's useless...]

[For a moment, the monkeys scatter as the tree falls. You have no choice but to escape, running deeper into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains...]

[However, only a few days after fleeing, you encounter an old acquaintance, Xue Jiujiu!]

[His aura is as terrifying as an abyss. He has become an Earth Immortal!]

[You have no power to resist him...]

[You die!]

[Ding, the simulation has ended!]

After the simulation ends, Su Xing looks at the text in front of him and sighs.

"It seems that the path of joining Tiger Immortal in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains has reached its end..."

"The total simulation time is sixty-seven years, and my cultivation is only one step away from the late-stage of the Great Perfection Realm..."

"The number of Protective Sword Qi has also doubled, reaching seven hundred and twenty!"

Su Xing is still very satisfied with the gains from this simulation. The only pity is that he failed to escape from the Arrival Sect.

After summarizing his gains and losses, Su Xing turns his gaze to the rewards from this simulation.

[Hundred Transformations True Monarch]: Purple talent, price 1 million energy points.

[Sixty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, your existing alchemy insights will slightly increase. Price 50 million energy points.

[Body Refinement Great Perfection Realm Sixth 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 4 billion energy points.

[2000 Gathering Spirit Flowers]: Price 200 million energy points.

[Protective Sword Qi (Great Perfection)]: Based on Protective Qi, with Yuanli and sword intent as the core, attack and defense in one, power increases with the growth of sword intent comprehension, currently at the Great Divine Ability level, can be used to fight across realms, currently a total of seven hundred and twenty Protective Sword Qi. Price 2 billion energy points.

[100 Catties of Human Immortal Realm Demon Cultivator Blood Essence]: Price 1000 energy source.

"The Body Refinement Great Perfection Realm Sixth Level plus the Protective Sword Qi... a total of 6 billion energy points!"

Su Xing takes a deep breath. He just needs to spend a lot of energy in one go. After the next simulation, with the energy Lu Yuanwu provides, he won't be short of energy for a while.

Currently, Su Xing's biggest energy expenditure is extracting cultivation.

Based on 2 billion energy points for the Great Perfection Realm First Level...

Su Xing's Qi Refinement Mahayana Stage and Body Refinement Great Perfection Realm require a total of 40 billion energy points!

"Sigh, the energy needed after reaching the Immortal Realm will probably be even greater, so I need to speed up my energy acquisition!"

Su Xing sighs softly.

Fortunately, he has many sources of energy now, and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will also provide Su Xing with enough energy in the future!

"However... 100 catties of Human Immortal Realm blood essence, with a total value of 1000 energy source, which translates to about 10 billion energy points?"

Su Xing takes a deep breath. The energy contained in it doesn't seem like much!

But Su Xing changes his mind. A Human Immortal Realm demonic beast should have more than 100 catties of blood essence, plus the demon pill, leather, and other materials... The energy contained in it should be far more than that.

"It's about time. Lu Yuanwu must be waiting..."

Su Xing then begins to change his appearance and conceal his aura, setting out to trade with Lu Yuanwu.

The trade proceeds without any accidents, and Su Xing successfully exchanges the exotic metal for 2 billion simulation energy points.

Then, Su Xing goes to the Immortal Martial Era dungeon to prepare to mine exotic metal ore.

In a week, Su Xing mines 3000 cubic meters of fourth-order exotic metal ore. After refining, he will gain another 6 billion energy points!

"Sigh, it's impossible to just sit back and enjoy the benefits... Only by working hard to mine can I barely maintain my energy expenditure..."

Su Xing sighs softly. With Su Xing's near-Immortal physical fitness, mining isn't tiring, but it's too tedious and there's no way to slack off.

"Damn it, once my puppet technology is good enough, I'll definitely refine a batch of puppets specifically for mining!"

Su Xing mutters to himself and then flies away from the Immortal Martial Era dungeon.

A few hours later, Su Xing appears at Jin Congxue's villa.

He gives Jin Congxue the Qi-Nourishing Pills he has accumulated over the past few weeks, which will allow him to obtain another second-order exotic metal mine.

An extra 50 million energy points every three weeks. While not much, every little bit helps!

Looking at Su Xing's listless appearance, Jin Congxue covers her mouth and chuckles softly:

"Su Xing, why do you look so exhausted after just a week?"

"Here, this is this week's goods and exotic metal. Check it."

Su Xing takes it and casually exchanges it for simulation energy.

Then, Su Xing immediately perks up.

The goods and exotic metal from this week have a total energy of nearly 4 billion points!

Seeing Su Xing's surprise, Jin Congxue says at the right moment:

"The Tarot Society hired a few hundred new professionals this week, all specifically to refine exotic metal..."

"In the next week, more and more people will be hired! Then I'll be able to give you more exotic metal!"

Su Xing's eyes light up upon hearing this. He secretly calls Jin Congxue his lucky star!

Strictly speaking, Jin Congxue has never let Su Xing down!

Thinking about this, Su Xing can't help but kiss Jin Congxue on the

cheek, excitedly saying:

"Sister Xue! You've been a huge help!"

"I... I thank you on behalf of the organization!"

Jin Congxue is stunned by Su Xing's sudden kiss, her entire being flustered. She stammers shyly:

"It's... It's getting late. Should I..."

Su Xing nods repeatedly upon hearing this:

"Okay, I'll go back now! I'll be careful on the way!"

With that, Su Xing leaves and returns to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.

He skillfully opens the simulation panel and decisively says:

"Exchange for the Great Perfection Realm Sixth Level cultivation... and the Protective Sword Qi comprehension!"

[You have successfully obtained the Great Perfection Realm Sixth Level cultivation, spending 4 billion energy points. Remaining energy: 2,134,530,000.]

[You have successfully obtained Protective Sword Qi comprehension, spending 2 billion energy points. Remaining energy: 134,530,000.]

As the simulation prompt sounds, two mysterious forces surge into his body.

First, Su Xing's cultivation undergoes a massive change!

In just a few breaths, Su Xing's strength and aura begin to surge!

Great Perfection Realm Fourth Level... Great Perfection Realm Fifth Level!

Finally, he enters the peak of the Great Perfection Realm Sixth Level!

He is only one step away from reaching the seventh level of the Great Perfection Realm... becoming a late-stage Great Perfection Realm cultivator!

"Not bad. In the next simulation, I should be able to break through the bottleneck and reach the late-stage of the Great Perfection Realm by consuming the Nine Turns Pill!"

Su Xing nods slightly, then his heart moves, and he summons the Protective Sword Qi.

You see seven hundred and twenty golden small swords, protecting Su Xing in a three hundred and sixty-degree, no-dead-angle manner.

Su Xing's heart moves. These Sword Qi can also automatically change formations, making them a perfect combination of attack and defense!

"Seven hundred and twenty Sword Qi, they haven't reached perfection yet..."

"If I can further enhance my sword intent, perhaps the power of this divine ability can approach the level of top-tier Great Divine Abilities!"

In the simulation text, Su Xing is able to fight Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators without retreating with seven hundred and twenty Protective Sword Qi, and he even has a chance to kill them!

And Su Xing's actual realm is not yet the late-stage of the Great Perfection Realm... This is a power boost that almost transcends an entire realm!

"However, Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators are vastly different... Some have just entered the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, while others have already passed several levels and are infinitely close to the Immortal Realm!"

"According to the text, my actual combat power should be considered above average among Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators... but not top-tier."

"But if I can refine my body to the peak of the Great Perfection Realm... I should be considered invincible below the Immortal Realm!"

Su Xing murmurs. He already knows eight or nine out of ten about the process of Tribulation Transcendence.

There are still some details to prepare for after reaching the peak of the Mahayana Stage.

Thinking about this, Su Xing glances at the simulation time. It is about to cool down, so he says to himself:

"Whew, forget about that..."

"My biggest goal for this simulation is to successfully comprehend the Fire Source to the Perfection Realm!"

"Then, I'll push forward and break through to the Qi Refinement Mahayana Stage!"

Su Xing is slightly expectant. After breaking through to the Mahayana Stage, there might be other rewards in the Luotian Dungeon!

"The Mahayana Stage is within reach. How much longer will the Immortal Realm be?"

New Era 2025, April 7th, Su Xing prepares to begin a new round of simulation.

"Start simulation!"

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 255: Achieving the Mahayana Stage, Heading to White Emperor City! (10,000 words, Two-in-One!)

Su Xing hears the simulation prompt.

[Ding! This simulation will consume 8200 energy points. Remaining energy: 134,530,000. 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 'Photographic Memory'. The next probability of drawing a golden talent is 30%...]

[Photographic Memory]: Purple talent. Your memory surpasses that of ordinary people. For text-based books, you can read ten lines at a glance and remember them effortlessly. (Mom no longer has to worry about my studies!)

Su Xing sees the newly drawn talent and is speechless.

"Wuwuwu, two years! It's been almost two years!"

"Damn it... Finally, I got this 'Photographic Memory' talent!"

"But then again, isn't this talent a standard for other transmigrators? Why is it so difficult for me to obtain it?"

Su Xing sighs, feeling a little regret that this talent appeared too late.

Su Xing's cultivation has already reached the near-Mahayana Stage.

At this realm, he can practically scan and memorize any mortal books.

For cultivation techniques, he can easily learn low-level techniques, and high-level techniques are twice as efficient!

"I wonder if this 'Photographic Memory' talent can enhance my learning of cultivation techniques and divine abilities?"

Su Xing is slightly curious and plans to try it out.

His gaze falls on the simulation panel.

[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realize that you are in a simulation!]

[You change your appearance and conceal your aura, preparing to trade with Lu Yuanwu.]

[This time, Lu Yuanwu brings you 10,000 tons of third-order exotic metal as promised, and you give him 100,000 pills.]

[After the trade, nothing unexpected happens...]

[Ten days later, you go to the Luotian Dungeon.]

[After leaving the dungeon, your Puppet Art has improved.]

[You join the Arrival Sect as usual. In the next two years, you refine pills and accumulate the enhancement of the Great Wisdom state.]

[In the third year, you give the pills to the Great Xia military.]

[Then, you go to the remains of the Fire Control Sect to comprehend the Fire Source.]

In the real world, Su Xing sees this and takes a deep breath, a look of anticipation in his eyes.

"Here it comes! Let's see if I can comprehend the Fire Source to Perfection this time!"

"Then, with the Fire Source as my foundation, I'll achieve the Mahayana Stage in one go!"

Su Xing silently says:

"Use immersive simulation, duration 30 days!"

[Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation... Remaining energy: 56,730,000.]

As the simulation prompt sounds, Su Xing's vision changes.

Then, Su Xing appears in the familiar remains of the Fire Control Sect.

After greeting Fire Control Zhenren's corpse, Su Xing takes out the Vermillion Bird's tail feather and merges it into his body.

Then, coupled with the branch of the Primordial Fusan Divine Tree, Su Xing begins to comprehend the Fire Source...

The Spiritual Awakening Pill is incredibly effective. Coupled with the Great Wisdom state, Su Xing's comprehension of the Fire Source rapidly improves.

In the blink of an eye, a month passes...

On the last day of the immersive simulation, Su Xing finally manages to enhance his comprehension of the Fire Source to the Perfection Realm!

The immersive simulation ends...

In the real world, Su Xing takes a long breath, a look of excitement in his eyes.

"Comprehension of the Fire Source, successfully reached Perfection!"

"Next, I'll find a way to break through to the Mahayana Stage!"

Su Xing is very expectant.

The Fire Source reaching Perfection is not only a prerequisite for entering the Mahayana Stage but also significantly enhances Su Xing's strength!

Especially the power of Su Xing's Li Huo Art will be further enhanced.

And the power of the Five Elements Spiritual Explosion Art will undergo a qualitative transformation!

However, Su Xing's current Qi Refinement cultivation is not high, so the Five Elements Spiritual Explosion Art cannot yet threaten enemies at the late-stage of the Mahayana Stage.

In the future, when Su Xing's Qi Refinement realm improves, the Five Elements Spiritual Explosion Art, as one of the only two "Great Divine Abilities" he has mastered, will still have terrifying potential!

His gaze returns to the simulation panel.

[After burying Fire Control Zhenren, you stay in the remains of the Fire Control Sect and prepare to enter seclusion.]

[You enter the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, consume spirit liquids, and begin to prepare to break through to the Mahayana Stage...]

[Breaking through to the Qi Refinement Mahayana Stage has two levels.]

[First, sufficient spiritual power. Expand your spiritual power sea with a massive amount of spiritual power, further increasing its capacity, thus enhancing the thickness of your magical power and reaching the Mahayana Stage.]

[Second, reaching the Perfection Realm in comprehension of a certain spiritual root that is compatible.]

[You have been accumulating for this day for a long time and have already met the second condition.]

[Next, you only need to break through in magical power to reach the Mahayana Stage!]

[So, you take out the millions of drops of low-grade spirit liquids and the nine hundred thousand drops of mid-grade spirit liquids you have accumulated... officially preparing to break through!]

[Before breaking through, you visit the remains of the Wanmu Sect and release the Spirit Vein Dragon from the formation, leading it into the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.]

[As expected, the Spirit Vein Dragon attracts Dragon Old Dog. You don't hesitate and directly kill him.]

[After killing Dragon Old Dog, you know that Blood Three will descend in three years, and you must break through to the Mahayana Stage as soon as possible during this time!]

[...In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you sit cross-legged, adjusting your aura to its best state.]

[You spend a full seven days just regulating your breath...]

[Seven days later, you divine with a hexagram, and the divination is very auspicious.]

[So, you don't hesitate any longer and frantically run the Wan Yan Art cultivation technique, absorbing the spiritual energy in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven like a flood.]

[Spiritual energy frantically rushes into your spiritual power sea, continuously filling it...]

[After half a month, your spiritual power sea is completely filled, and the surging spiritual power seems to be crashing like waves.]

[So, you don't hesitate any longer and begin to try expanding your spiritual power sea...]

[The surging spiritual power continuously washes over the boundary of the spiritual power sea, repeatedly expanding the limit of your internal spiritual power.]

[In the blink of an eye, three months pass.]

[In three months, the limit of your internal spiritual power has increased by nearly 30%!]

[But at the same time, you have also consumed a lot of spiritual power. The speed at which your cultivation technique absorbs spiritual energy begins to become insufficient.]

[You don't hesitate. You slightly open your mouth, and tens of thousands of drops of low-grade spirit liquid pour into your body, quickly transforming into pure spiritual power...]

[When your spiritual power is replenished, you begin to further expand your spiritual power sea.]

[According to the information you obtained from the Luotian Dungeon, the longer you expand your spiritual power sea, the thicker the magical power you will have after breaking through!]

[Mahayana Stage magical power is naturally thicker the better. This affects whether you can smoothly pass the "Magical Power Barrier" during the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.]

[And you are a Nine Turns Golden Core, a super-grade Nascent Soul. Your magical power was already among the best during the Nascent Soul Stage. You have a solid foundation, so your advantage in expanding your spiritual power sea is even greater!]

[So, you continuously absorb spirit liquids, transforming them into pure spiritual energy, repeatedly challenging the boundary of your spiritual power sea...]

[The entire process is tedious and long. Those without strong willpower will find it difficult to sustain.]

[In the blink of an eye, half a year passes...]

[Over the past six months, you have consumed three million drops of low-grade spirit liquid, and the capacity of your spiritual power sea is now over twice its previous size!]

[The spiritual power of a peak Nascent Soul Stage cultivator has doubled. This has barely reached the minimum standard for a Mahayana Stage cultivator.]

[If you are willing, you can even break through to the Mahayana Stage now and become the weakest Mahayana Stage cultivator.]

[But you don't plan to do that. This is equivalent to cutting off your potential.]

[So, you continue to consume spirit liquids, transforming them into pure spiritual energy, continuously expanding your spiritual power sea...]

[Thus, another three months pass.]

[Now you have been in seclusion for a full year. The capacity of your spiritual power sea has increased by another 30%, reaching the level of an ordinary Mahayana Stage cultivator.]

[But you are not satisfied and continue to expand your spiritual power sea...]

[The surging spiritual power repeatedly washes over the boundary of the spiritual power sea. The limit of your internal spiritual energy is becoming increasingly abundant.]

[You consume tens of thousands of drops of low-grade spirit liquid again, transforming them into pure spiritual power.]

[In the blink of an eye, another four months pass...]

[At this time, the total amount of your spiritual power has increased by another 30%, reaching the level of a prodigy Mahayana Stage cultivator.]

[At this limit, it becomes incredibly difficult to improve further...]

[But you decide to persist. You continue to consume spirit liquids. The millions of drops of spirit liquids you have accumulated have been consumed for the past eighteen months.]

[So, you simply go all out, frantically absorbing spirit liquids, using pure resources to pile up the capacity of your spiritual power sea.]

[You are like a connected container, one end connected to your accumulated spirit liquids, frantically transforming them into spiritual power, then challenging the spiritual power sea, spiritual energy being consumed wildly...]

[In the blink of an eye, another four months pass.]

[At this time, all the low-grade spirit liquids you have accumulated have been completely consumed!]

[And the capacity of your spiritual power sea has increased by another 20% or so.]

[Without much hesitation, you take out the only million drops of mid-grade spirit liquids you have left and continue to challenge the boundary.]

[The spiritual energy content of mid-grade spirit liquids is higher and more abundant, allowing you to quickly expand your spiritual power sea...]

[In the blink of an eye, half a year passes...]

[At this moment, in just half a year, the spiritual energy capacity of your spiritual power sea has nearly tripled that of the most ordinary Mahayana Stage cultivator! It's almost 30% higher than that of ordinary prodigy cultivators!]

[But the resources you have accumulated have been exhausted. Even if you want to continue expanding your spiritual power sea, it's useless.]

[So, you prepare to break through to the Mahayana Stage in one go.]

[However, at this moment, the Spirit Vein Dragon, which has been frolicking nearby, seems to sense something and comes to your side, gently spitting out a strange spiritual energy.]

[After spitting out this breath of spiritual energy, the Spirit Vein Dragon's aura weakens significantly...]

[Just this one breath of spiritual energy enters your body, and you instantly feel the capacity of your spiritual power sea increase by at least another 20%!]

[You are overjoyed. This energy comes at the right time, allowing you to break through to the Mahayana Stage in one go!]

[Congratulations on becoming a Mahayana Stage cultivator!]

In the real world, Su Xing sees the simulation text in front of him and is instantly overjoyed.

"Finally, I've successfully broken through to the Mahayana Stage! And I'm very strong when I first break through!"

Su Xing calculates slightly.

Based on the information he obtained from the Luotian Sect, there are also differences in aptitude and strength among Mahayana Stage cultivators.

At the bottom of the strength chain are the most ordinary Mahayana Stage cultivators, whose magical power is about twice that of a peak Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

This kind of Mahayana Stage cultivator has exhausted their potential. Without any accidents, they will be stuck at the early or mid-stage of the Mahayana Stage for life. They are also the most common type of Mahayana Stage cultivator.

Slightly higher on the strength chain are Mahayana Stage cultivators with a 30% to 80% increase in total magical power.

They can be called Mahayana Stage prodigies. They can cultivate to the peak of the Mahayana Stage. If they encounter a great opportunity, they might even have a chance to become Loose Immortals.

This level of Mahayana Stage cultivator can easily surpass one or two minor realms. A Mahayana Stage First Level cultivator can fight against a Mahayana Stage Second or Third Level cultivator!

If they improve even further, they are undoubtedly prodigy cultivators among Mahayana Stage cultivators. There might be two or three out of a thousand.

This level of Mahayana Stage cultivator has twice the thickness of magical power compared to ordinary Mahayana Stage cultivators.

They can fight across minor realms. A Mahayana Stage First Level cultivator can fight against a Mahayana Stage Fourth Level cultivator.

They have a high chance of successfully transcending the tribulation and can at least become Loose Immortals.

A level higher is the prodigy cultivator among ten thousand.

Their thickness of magical power is over three times that of ordinary Mahayana Stage cultivators!

Without that breath of pure spiritual energy from the Spirit Vein Dragon, Su Xing would have been at this level.

This level of Mahayana Stage cultivator has a thickness of magical power comparable to that of a Mahayana Stage Sixth Level cultivator when they are at the Mahayana Stage First Level!

When they reach the peak of the Mahayana Stage, their thickness of magical power can be comparable to that of a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator who has passed the "Magical Power Barrier"!

And this level is also considered the "first-class immortal seed" by the Luotian Sect. They have a very high probability of joining the ranks of Immortals and following the orthodox path of Immortality.

"Sigh, this prodigy cultivator among ten thousand not only needs extremely high aptitude but also requires a lot of resources. Probably only the Saint Sons of those great immortal sects can reach this level!"

Su Xing murmurs.

"As for me, I've been extremely lucky in this simulation! That breath of pure spiritual energy from the Spirit Vein Dragon is probably a great opportunity that even Heavenly Immortals would covet!"

"With that breath of spiritual energy entering my body, my spiritual power sea expanded by another 20%... This means that after initially entering the Mahayana Stage, my total magical power is probably already at the late-stage of the Mahayana Stage!"

Su Xing is inevitably excited.

One of the Tribulation Transcendence barriers is the "Magical Power Barrier"!

With Su Xing's current accumulation of magical power, he can easily pass the Magical Power Barrier regardless!

"Moreover, the cost for the Spirit Vein Dragon for that breath of pure spiritual energy is probably quite high... He's even weakened."

Su Xing shakes his head slightly.

"Next, I need to fool Blood Three. I hope I can complete it smoothly..."

Su Xing turns his gaze to the simulation panel.

[When you break through to the Mahayana Stage, thunderclouds gather in the sky for a thousand miles around the entire Immortal Martial Era. Rolling thunder roars, circling for months without dispersing...]

[You vaguely sense a resistance and a subtle gaze.]

[In the endless void, a pair of blood-red eyes seem to be staring intently at your location.]

[You return to Blue Star. At this time, Dragon Old Dog is dead, and you decide to quickly seize control of the Arrival Sect.]

[In the sixth year, you win over a large number of fanboys and, with Luo Suying's cooperation, become the leader of the Conservative faction.]

[You announce that Dragon Old Dog was killed by you because he attempted to murder and steal treasure.]

[Upon hearing your words, the Arrival faction is abuzz with discussion, but no one dares to resist due to your authority.]

[At the beginning of the seventh year, Blood Three descends to Blue Star and finds you.]

[You use the same trick again, claiming that Dragon Old Dog murdered and stole treasure, and you killed him in self-defense.]

[Blood Three senses the Mahayana Stage cultivator's aura on you and frowns slightly.]

[After you offer the Spirit Vein Dragon, Blood Three's expression improves slightly. He says he forgives you for what you did before.]

[At the same time, he gives you a voice transmission jade talisman and asks you to keep in touch with him.]

[You seize the opportunity to ask Blood Three for a pass, but Blood Three doesn't give it to you directly. He says he wants to see your performance and will naturally give it to you when the time is right.]

[After saying this, Blood Three leaves Blue Star...]

In the real world, Su Xing sees the text in front of him, and several black lines appear on his forehead.

"Damn it, Blood Three is really... He took the benefits but is still so stingy?"

"It seems... my progress is still too fast. If I had waited a few more years and gained enough status in the Arrival Sect, I should have been able to obtain a pass..."

Su Xing sighs.

Since he can't get a pass for now, Su Xing must choose another path to enter the Three Thousand Worlds!

"Seven hundred and twenty Protective Sword Qi, the Heavenly Thunder Body Second Stage... This time, I'll break through to the seventh level of the Great Perfection Realm!"

"The spatial turbulence shouldn't be a problem for me!"

Su Xing thinks to himself, his gaze returning to the simulation panel.

[After Blood Three leaves, you begin refining Rebirth Transformation Pills and Nine Turns Pills.]

[In the eighth year, after consuming hundreds of Rebirth Transformation Pills, your strength remains at the peak of the sixth level of the Great Perfection Realm.]

[You only have one Nine Turns Pill left. With Dragon Old Dog's mid-stage Mixed Origin Realm cultivation, you can't guarantee that you will be able to break through to the late-stage of the Great Perfection Realm.]

[To be safe, you go to the Beast Control Realm battlefield.]

[In the ninth year, you kill hundreds of Legendaries and three Demon Emperors.]

[After refining the Rebirth Transformation Pills, you continue to temper your body...]

[In the blink of an eye, another two years pass.]

[In the eleventh year, after consuming hundreds of Rebirth Transformation Pills, your cultivation improves slightly.]

[You begin to plan to break through to the late-stage of the Great Perfection Realm.]

[You enter seclusion in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven. After half a year... you successfully emerge from seclusion!]

[Congratulations on becoming a seventh-level Great Perfection Realm cultivator!]

[After entering the late-stage of the Great Perfection Realm, your strength increases again. Your pure physical strength has almost reached six hundred Mountain Power!]

[You are overjoyed. If you reach the peak of the Great Perfection Realm, you might be able to possess the legendary thousand Mountain Power!]

[In the twelfth year, you prepare to set off for the Three Thousand Worlds...]

[You hide the Qingyun Order and a bag of Gathering Spirit Flower seeds inside your body and then go to the Slaughter Battlefield.]

[You continue to move towards the Crimson Moon. After several days, you reach the end of the Slaughter Battlefield.]

[Without a pass, the Slaughter Messenger attacks you without hesitation.]

[But the Slaughter Messenger's strength is far inferior to yours!]

[With a casual strike, you seriously injure the Slaughter Messenger, almost killing him.]

[At this moment, a Crimson Moon shines down, and the red light envelops the Slaughter Messenger.]

[The Slaughter Messenger, who was originally seriously injured and near death, instantly recovers, and his strength also increases to the Saint level!]

[But even so, he is still no match for you...]

[This time, you don't hold back. You use your physical strength and smash the Slaughter Messenger into a puddle of flesh.]

[The moment the Slaughter Messenger dies, the Crimson Moon in the sky begins to shake, and the red light becomes even brighter, as if it's going to swallow the entire Red Land.]

[In your divine sense perception, countless Legendary and Martial Emperor-level red-eyed monsters within a thousand miles rush towards your location.]

[And the Crimson Moon seems to have gained consciousness at this moment. A formless human face vaguely appears on it.]

[Your 'Avoid Bad Luck' talent frantically warns you.]

[As if something terrible will happen if you stay here...]

[So, you don't hesitate any longer. You turn around and open the white gate, entering the mysterious space.]

In the real world, Su Xing sees this and frowns slightly.

"The Crimson Moon was also watching when I broke through to the Mahayana Stage..."

"The Crimson Moon seems to be even more frantic now..."

"After all, the Crimson Moon was once a deity, although it has already died... but it's about to revive. I don't know how much power it still possesses with its current methods..."

"But it should be fine if I quickly escape from here and enter the Three Thousand Worlds..."

Su Xing thinks to himself, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.

[After entering the mysterious space, a starry path appears beneath your feet.]

[The closest one is the passage to the Mountain Valley base, but you don't have a pass, so the passage isn't open.]

[So, you only have one choice left: traverse the spatial turbulence in front of you and reach another black passage!]

[You don't know if the Crimson Moon's power can interfere with this space, so you don't hesitate. You activate the Protective Sword Qi and step into the spatial turbulence.]

[Seven hundred and twenty Protective Sword Qi protect you in a no-dead-angle manner.]

[You begin to prepare to traverse the spatial turbulence...]

[The spatial turbulence, sharp as blades, continuously cuts at the Protective Sword Qi. With each collision, over ten Protective Sword Qi dissipate.]

[But you, protected within, are still safe. You only focus on rushing forward, charging towards the black passage.]

[Ten zhang... One hundred zhang... Three hundred zhang...]

[In this distorted space, the black passage, which looks very close, is actually quite far away.]

[One hundred and sixty Protective Sword Qi have been broken, and you have traversed hundreds of zhang...]

[Fortunately, the strength of your Protective Sword Qi has greatly increased this time, so you can hold on for a while longer.]

[Unconsciously, you have already traversed nearly half the distance, and nearly two hundred and sixty Protective Sword Qi have been destroyed.]

[You estimate that the remaining Protective Sword Qi is enough to reach the entrance of the black passage.]

[And at this time, the spatial turbulence around you is filled with a large amount of pure spatial source...]

[You charge forward, observing these spatial sources, experiencing close contact with them.]

[You vaguely feel a slight improvement in your comprehension of the spatial source...]

[Another few breaths pass.]

[You have already traversed a thousand zhang, and nearly three hundred Protective Sword Qi have been lost.]

[As you see the black passage getting closer, you unconsciously speed up your pace...]

[Five hundred zhang! In your divine sense perception, you are only five hundred zhang away from the passage.]

[Another forty Protective Sword Qi are destroyed, and you advance another hundred zhang...]

[Three hundred zhang... Two hundred zhang!]

[Finally, you're getting closer! At this time, your seven hundred and twenty Protective Sword Qi have been reduced to about one hundred and eighty.]

[The closer you get to the passage, the more terrifying the turbulence becomes.]

[Based on your observations, this black passage seems to be intentionally blocked, preventing people from approaching.]

[One hundred zhang... Fifty zhang!]

[Finally, you leap forward and reach the entrance of the black passage!]

[At this time, the number of Protective Sword Qi surrounding you has been reduced to less than one hundred, but you have finally succeeded!]

[The unfamiliar black passage is right in front of you.]

[What's even more surprising is that after traversing the spatial turbulence, your comprehension of the spatial source has also vaguely touched upon a glimpse.]

[One meter away from you is the spatial turbulence, sharp as a blade storm, but the entrance to the passage is calm.]

[You take a deep breath and try to adjust your state. At the same time, you observe the spatial turbulence further.]

[While observing, you also vaguely touch upon a hint of the changes and nuances of space...]

[But the efficiency of comprehension is far lower than the comprehension you gained from traversing the spatial turbulence for a few minutes just now.]

[After regulating your breath, you don't dare to linger.]

[You reach out and touch the black passage.]

[The next second, you disappear.]

In the real world, Su Xing sees this and sighs with relief.

"This spatial turbulence must have been created to prevent people from crossing this passage..."

"Perhaps it was the Crimson Moon's doing?"

"But fortunately, the spatial source contained in this spatial turbulence is not bad. If I can stay here for a long time, perhaps I can try to comprehend the spatial source!"

Su Xing is inevitably excited.

The spatial source is the basic building block of the Dao of Space!

"Most importantly, if I can comprehend the spatial source... I can create my own space!"

"I can even use spatial power to envelop some storage props. Then, I can bring more things to the Three Thousand Worlds!"

Su Xing takes a deep breath.

Almost all of his accumulations are in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven. Gathering Spirit Flowers... spirit liquids... none of them can be brought to the Three Thousand Worlds.

This means that once he goes there, he has to start from scratch and can't quickly get rich.

But if he has Gathering Spirit Flowers... it's a different story...

Bring enough Gathering Spirit Flowers. Once he interacts with the resources of the Three Thousand Worlds, Su Xing can obtain more rare props!

"After breaking through to the Mahayana Stage, I need to put comprehending the spatial source on my agenda..."

"But what secrets are hidden behind this passage?"

Su Xing is somewhat curious, and he looks at the simulation panel.

[After entering the black passage, you arrive in a void...]

[The environment here is somewhat similar to the space inside a giant beast's abdomen...]

[Looking around, there is only emptiness. You vaguely sense that there are even more violent spatial turbulence wandering in the space...]

[You try to extend your divine sense to check the surroundings.]

[But there seems to be a restriction here, and your divine sense is greatly reduced. Its range is even less than your naked eye observation.]

[You activate the Protective Sword Qi and wander in the void.]

[The spatial turbulence here doesn't move in a large range. It only moves within a fixed area, so you are not worried about danger.]

[You discover many fragmented, strange rays of light in the void.]

[Upon getting closer, you are surprised to discover that these are actually channels and world fragments leading to various worlds...]

[It seems that the entire space has been sealed by a strange force!]

[What makes you even more terrified is that you feel many fragmented source powers... wood, fire, earth, and five elements sources, strength source, spatial source... and even more terrifying sources like karma and time!]

[No! This is not simply source power!]

[This seems like Dao Laws that have been shattered!]

[Further away, you seem to sense the aura of supreme powerful cultivators. This place seems to have once been an ancient battlefield...]

[The outcome of the battle is unknown, but this world seems to be sealed.]

[You wander in the void, observing the world fragments and source powers...]

[You don't know how long it takes, but you seem to hear faint calls...]

[That voice seems to be... Luotian?]

[You are startled and are about to investigate, but your 'Avoid Bad Luck' talent frantically warns you!]

[You quickly cast the Bagua Fortune Calculation Art, trying to divine good or bad luck.]

[But after consuming your lifespan, you still helplessly discover that the heavens here are completely blurred... and there is no divination result.]

[But the 'Avoid Bad Luck' warning continues!]

[You have a feeling that if you stay here, you will likely die...]

[So, you don't hesitate any longer and begin to search through the spatial passages.]

[You are certain that among these fragmented spatial passages, there must be one that leads to the Small Qingyun Realm!]

[You pray in your heart and finally choose a complete world passage with a blue glow and dive in...]

[The next second, you disappear.]

[The terrifying spatial fluctuations of traversing worlds tear at you...]

[You fall unconscious...]

In the real world, Su Xing sees this and frowns slightly.

"What kind of place is this black passage in?"

"The Crimson Moon fought here... Could this be the location of the battle?"

"And those shattered world fragments, are they worlds that have perished?"

"Luotian... Could this be the location of the ancient Luotian Sect?"

"And those shattered Dao Laws and source powers... were they caused by the battle?"

Su Xing takes a deep breath. His mind is currently a mess, filled with countless guesses.

But Su Xing knows that this secret is not something he can touch for now.

"I don't know where that spatial passage leads... I hope it's the Small Qingyun Realm!"

Su Xing murmurs.

Because the Small Qingyun Realm is relatively close to Blue Star, theoretically, the probability of going to the Small Qingyun Realm is not low.

Besides... Su Xing's luck has always been good!

Thinking about this, Su Xing turns his gaze to the simulation panel.

[When you wake up again, you are lying in a patch of grass... The items you carried with you have been damaged during the world traversal.]

[Fortunately, you only have minor injuries. You don't know how long you have been unconscious, but the surroundings seem to be safe for now.]

[And you carefully observe your surroundings. Lush towering trees, grass over a zhang tall...]

[After regulating your breath, you feel that your combat power has recovered to 70% or 80%. So, you choose a direction and prepare to investigate.]

[Your divine sense spreads out like a tide, instantly enveloping a range of ten thousand zhang.]

[Then, you raise your eyebrows.]

[In your perception, the environment here is somewhat similar to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. There are many demon cultivators... but their cultivation is not high. They are only between the Nascent Soul and Mahayana Stages...]

[You ponder for a moment and then use a cultivation technique to change your appearance and conceal your aura...]

[After a while, you transform into a middle-aged man who looks forty years old, with slightly yellow skin and an ordinary appearance.]

[Then, you use your spiritual energy and fly towards the north...]

[Along the way, your terrifying aura makes the demon cultivators below tremble with fear and dare not speak.]

[After several hours, you still haven't seen any human cultivators, making you wonder if you have come to a small thousand world that is purely inhabited by demon cultivators.]

[But at this moment, you hear intense magical power fluctuations from afar.]

[Judging from the might, it's probably a fight between Mahayana Stage cultivators...]

[You are slightly delighted and head towards the fluctuations, ready to investigate.]

[Soon, you see two women with beautiful appearances jointly resisting a leopard demon.]

[The two women are probably at the early-stage of the Mahayana Stage... while the leopard demon is a demon cultivator close to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.]

[Therefore, even though the two women are fighting together, they cannot resist. It seems they are about to die.]

[After hesitating for a moment, you decide to save them.]

[You activate the Protective Sword Qi, and one hundred and eighty golden Sword Qi are released. In the blink of an eye, they slash towards the leopard demon...]

[In an instant, sword light fills the air, and sword qi surges... The leopard demon is instantly pierced by countless swords, its primordial spirit fleeing for its life...]

[You are not interested in chasing after this mere peak Mahayana Stage leopard demon. You simply approach the two women and ask about their origins.]

[To your surprise, the two women are from the White Emperor Tower!]

[The White Emperor Tower is a famous loose cultivator alliance in the Small Qingyun Realm!]

[And according to what they say, their current location is the northernmost part of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Thirty thousand miles northwest is the White Emperor Tower!]

Su Xing sees this and his heart moves. He can't help but feel overjoyed.

"White Emperor Tower! It's actually the White Emperor Tower!"

"This is the famous loose cultivator alliance in the Small Qingyun Realm... Its location is in the north of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains..."

"This means... my current location in the simulation is across the entire Hundred Thousand Great Mountains from Tiger Immortal Village and the Mountain Valley base... tens of millions of miles away?"

Su Xing takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with anticipation.

At least this time, Su Xing doesn't have to worry about being exposed after the Blood Sprout Grand Competition...

"However... I escaped from Blue Star and entered the Three Thousand Worlds. I don't know if the Crimson Moon and Blood Three will discover this..."

"It's best to be cautious. I'll stay in the Small Qingyun Realm with a new identity."

"Ideally, I can join Qingyun Sect! Perhaps I can obtain more resources!"

Su Xing murmurs, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.

[You talk to the two women. During the conversation, you call yourself Su Ye, claiming to be a lone cultivator who has just emerged from seclusion after nearly a hundred years.]

[The two women express their gratitude to you again, saying that they came here to hunt demonic beasts to exchange for resources.]

[You nod slightly. As far as you know, the White Emperor Tower is full of lone cultivators. Loose cultivators trade with each other, with the White Emperor Tower as a guarantor.]

[Therefore, the two women are probably here to hunt demonic beasts and obtain demon pills and other materials for some resources.]

[Then, the two women invite you to join the White Emperor Tower, as it is the best place for lone cultivators...]

[In your opinion, this is your first time arriving in the Three Thousand Worlds and your first time coming into contact with a human territory outside the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.]

[Therefore, it's best to find a reliable force first and learn more about the current situation... As for Qingyun Sect, there's no rush. It's fine to wait ten or eight years.]

[So, you are taken to the White Emperor Tower by the two women.]

[Three days later, you arrive at the White Emperor Tower.]

In the real world, Su Xing sees this and his heart moves.

Su Xing still wants to see what the White Emperor Tower looks like.

So, Su Xing silently says: "Use immersive simulation... Duration 24 hours!"

[Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation... Remaining energy: 54,330,000.]

As the simulation prompt sounds, Su Xing appears in an unfamiliar environment.

Hundreds of meters in front of Su Xing is a towering, magnificent city!

This city is called White Emperor City, the main city of the White Emperor Tower in the Small Qingyun Realm!

The city walls are one hundred zhang high... their width is unknown...

Looking around, on both sides of the city walls are stone carvings of swords, tens of zhang tall and several zhang wide, looking quite majestic and imposing.

"Senior Su... This might be your first time coming to the White Emperor Tower...

Let me take you on a tour..."

The two women look at Su Xing with admiration in their eyes and want to take him into the city.

Su Xing doesn't stop them. He simply follows behind and approaches the city gate.

The gate of White Emperor City is crimson red, one hundred zhang high... with intricate patterns engraved on it.

With Su Xing's knowledge of array formations, he can see that there are formations engraved on the city gate, and the formations are connected to the entire city wall.

And the rank of this formation... it's probably above the ninth rank!

Anyone below the Immortal Realm would probably be unable to cause any damage to this city wall.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of a powerful force renowned throughout the Three Thousand Worlds... Although the city wall is only one hundred zhang high, it's far beyond the comparison of the Town Demon Pass..."

Su Xing sighs inwardly.

Then, he follows the two women into White Emperor City.

In White Emperor City, there are many lone cultivators. Su Xing looks around and senses several Nascent Soul Stage cultivator auras without using his divine sense.

Within the city, cultivators are dressed in various strange and unique attire. Some wear cultivator robes, radiating immortal aura, while others are dressed in rags, drinking and having fun...

There are even cultivators wearing modern clothing.

Su Xing nods slightly, not surprised.

In the Three Thousand Worlds, there are all kinds of power systems, and their levels of civilization are also different.

It's not surprising to have a technologically advanced cultivation world...

The two women whisper to Su Xing:

"Senior, flying is prohibited within White Emperor City. It's also best not to use your divine sense to casually scan others."

"White Emperor City is divided into five districts: east, west, south, north, and central..."

"The east district is a place for pleasure, with brothels, taverns, inns, and everything else you could want... It's also known as a gold-sucking pit within White Emperor City..."

"The west district is where the largest auction house in the city is located. Many rare items and magical artifacts are sold here."

"The south district is where the market is located. All kinds of pill shops, talisman shops, and weapon shops are here..."

"The north district is more chaotic. It's where the black market and some shady cultivators gather..."

"As for the city center, that's where the City Lord's Mansion is located. It has thirty-six blessed lands and nine cave heavens... It's where senior cultivators enter seclusion."

Su Xing nods slightly and remembers all this information.

"Then, please take me on a tour of the city..."

Su Xing says politely.

The two women are overjoyed upon hearing this and nod repeatedly, vying to take Su Xing on a tour of the city...
