Chapter 264: The Strongest Awakening Strike, Slaying a God-Level Alien Race! (Two-in-One, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)
The real world. Su Xing saw this and his face lit up with ecstatic joy.
"Truly a twist of fate, a glimmer of hope in the darkest hour!"
"I thought that this simulation of the Heavenly Sword Scripture would be difficult to complete… but unexpectedly, seven days of enlightenment have directly achieved this goal!"
"And even… the path to Sword Immortal is gradually becoming clear!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing murmured:
"Heaven, Earth, and Human Swords united as one… only then can one integrate the sword into the Dao and become a Sword Immortal?"
Su Xing seemed to have a sudden realization, understanding why the Three Talents Sword Technique was so difficult to cultivate.
Because this was not an ordinary sword technique at all, but a true scripture that directly led to the Grand Dao of the Sword!
The title of Sword Immortal! In the Three Thousand Worlds, it was also an absolute synonym for powerful combat prowess!
In the Three Thousand Worlds, those stronger than the Immortal Realm often had access to the Grand Dao laws!
Among them, there was one known as the Sword Dao!
Those who primarily cultivated the Sword Dao were known as Sword Cultivators…
Sword Cultivators often did not solely focus on sword techniques, because the Sword Dao was mainly about offensive power, but it could not extend lifespan.
Only Qi Refinement and Body Refinement cultivators who also primarily cultivated the Sword Dao could achieve Sword Immortality!
"The Sword's Origin is complete… combined with the Unprincipled Talent, could I possibly clash with a Human Immortal Realm being?"
Su Xing felt a flicker of anticipation in his heart.
A deeper understanding of the Sword's Origin meant that Su Xing's Protective Sword Aura could also master more Dao, resulting in a significant increase in combat prowess!
"Whew… the goals of this simulation have been exceeded, let's see how much longer I can simulate for now!"
Su Xing's heart stirred, and his gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[After achieving perfection in the Heavenly Sword Scripture, your understanding of the True Meaning of the Sword has also reached the pinnacle of perfection!]
[Now, when you wield sword techniques, every move and strike is imbued with a smooth and natural Sword Intent, and the power of your Protective Sword Aura has nearly doubled!]
[You remain hidden in Demon God City, refining pills every day and occasionally inquiring about news of the alien races.]
[On the front lines of the Lesser Qingyun Realm, the alien races encountered are evidently far more powerful than those on Blue Star!]
[Not only are there Demon Beasts, but also邪魔 (xie mo - demonic beings) and other races are all present.]
[Although you are in the rear echelon of the logistics army, through observation and experience, you have gained a certain understanding of the overall strength and realm division of the alien races.]
[Saint-level alien races correspond to Great Ascension Stage cultivators, with comparable combat prowess.]
[Above Saint-level are Demi-Gods, corresponding to the Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivators.]
[Whether it's Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivators or Demi-God alien races, strictly speaking, they are not complete realms, but rather a state that indicates the ability to "ascend to Immortality" or "achieve divinity" at any time.]
[For Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivators, the more prepared they are, the higher the potential upper limit of becoming an Immortal after successfully transcending the tribulation!]
[Human Immortal Realm cultivators correspond to Inferior Divine Power alien races. These alien races have already achieved divinity and possess terrifying combat power. To ordinary humans, they are indistinguishable from gods.]
[Above Inferior Divine Power are Medium Divine Power alien races, a realm equivalent to Human Earth Immortal Realm cultivators.]
[Above Medium Divine Power are Powerful Divine Power alien races, corresponding to Human Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators!]
[And above Powerful Divine Power, they can achieve True God status, comparable to the might of True Immortals…]
[You have heard that above True Gods, there is a so-called Deity-level combat prowess, but these alien races have not appeared on the Lesser Qingyun Realm battlefield.]
[After learning about the alien race's combat strength, you are shocked and feel even more the terrifying nature of this mysterious race!]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and his expression became somewhat complex.
"Saint… Demi-God… Inferior Divine Power, Medium Divine Power, Powerful Divine Power… True God… Deity!"
"The alien races are able to invade the Three Thousand Worlds, they certainly have their own reasons! Although their combat strength system is different, among the alien races, there are probably powerful beings comparable to the Great Luo Golden Immortals!"
Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a tinge of bitterness.
The entire Blue Star, and even the surrounding dungeon worlds, might just be an appetizer to the alien races!
It was only because of Luo Tian's existence that this appetizer seemed somewhat palatable…
But regardless, the gap between the two was vast!
"Even the Three Thousand Worlds may not be a match for the alien races!"
"What's more, those powerful forces are fighting their own battles… and the Descending Church is sabotaging everything from within!"
"It's difficult, too difficult!"
Su Xing's expression was serious. If the simulated timeline continued to unfold, Su Xing even believed that the alien races would ultimately succeed in conquering the entire Three Thousand Worlds!
At that time… whether it was billions of living beings or Great Luo Golden Immortals, they would all become nourishment for the alien races…
"Strength! Only absolute strength can break this deadlock!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, his determination to seek the Dao even stronger.
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[You stay in the rear of the battlefield, refining pills and gathering intelligence every day, your life relatively leisurely.]
[In the blink of an eye, another two years pass.]
[In the 65th year, you thought your days would continue in this leisurely manner, but on this day, a terrifying alien race descended upon the city where you reside.]
[This alien race has two horns on its head, resembling a demon from Western mythology, its body shrouded in black energy, towering a hundred zhang tall and floating high in the sky.]
[The guards in the city immediately took action, launching a counterattack against this alien race.]
[However, most of the elite cultivators have gone to the front lines of the battlefield. In these logistics forces, there are at most a few Great Ascension and Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivators.]
[But this two-horned alien race is a true divine being with Inferior Divine Power!]
[Just moments after the two-horned alien race descends, the cultivators here suffer heavy casualties. Thousands of cultivators die under the absolute suppression of its power.]
[You react quickly, erecting your Protective Sword Aura in time to avoid death.]
[And at this moment, this divine alien race is rampaging, slaughtering indiscriminately.]
[A bold idea arises in your mind. If you were to launch a surprise attack, combined with the bonus from the Unprincipled Talent, could you possibly kill this divine alien race?]
[The city is now a scene of carnage, a river of blood, and you are hiding in a corner, preparing to deliver a fatal blow!]
[At this time, several Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivators combine their forces to try and resist the slaughter of this divine alien race.]
[But a single realm difference is a vast gulf. In the hands of the divine alien race, they have no hope of survival…]
[Just then, you make your move!]
[Seven hundred and twenty streams of Protective Sword Aura, unleashed without reservation, strike towards the divine alien race's head!]
[For a moment, sword light spans three thousand li, a terrifying Sword Intent surging towards the divine alien race…]
[When the golden light gradually dissipates, the imposing alien race, originally hundreds of zhang tall, falls to the ground, its massive body causing an earthquake.]
[Hundreds of Sword Aura streams have shattered the alien race's head into a thousand pieces. This divine alien race is severely wounded and on the verge of death!]
[The sudden appearance of the ten thousand zhang Sword Aura instantly draws the attention of the surrounding cultivators.]
[Many cultivators spot your location, concluding that the Sword Aura originated from you.]
[More cultivators see the severely wounded alien race and seize the opportunity to attack, finally slaying the alien race together!]
[After a few hours, the Immortal Realm experts who rush back from the front lines discover the slain alien race, and their hearts are filled with astonishment.]
[In their opinion, there are absolutely no experts capable of withstanding a divine alien race in the rear logistics city…]
[Soon, after an investigation, they discover that it was you who took action at a critical moment, slaying the divine expert with a single strike, turning the tide of battle!]
[After this battle, you become famous overnight, hailed as the Sword Immortal of Demon God City!]
[The first Sword Cultivator in Lesser Qingyun Realm in ten thousand years below the Immortal Realm!]
[With only Great Ascension Stage strength, you are able to reverse-slay a divine alien race comparable to an Immortal!]
[You become famous and enjoy excellent treatment, but this fame is not what you desire…]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and took a deep breath, clenching his fists.
"The Unprincipled Talent's double damage! Combined with the perfect understanding of the Sword's True Meaning and the Protective Sword Aura, it truly can severely injure an Immortal with a single strike!"
Su Xing's heart was filled with excitement. If handled properly, with this skill, slaying a Human Immortal would not be a problem!
"Tsk tsk, just based on this skill alone, calling myself invincible below the Immortal Realm shouldn't be an exaggeration, right?"
"The only pity is… this move can only be used once per simulation…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, but this battle also had its risks.
He had become famous, and Qingyunzi would likely receive news and discover his whereabouts…
"Sigh, it seems I can't escape… with Qingyunzi's strength and cultivation, as soon as he appears, he will definitely discover me!"
Su Xing sighed.
He had exchanged for Spirit Sword Fruits in Qingyun Sect, making it easy for Qingyunzi to find out about him.
Knowing that this simulation was about to end, Su Xing turned his attention back to the simulation panel.
[After slaying the divine alien race, you feel uneasy, knowing that Qingyunzi might soon find you.]
[But you have already revealed your whereabouts, and even if you try to escape, it may not be possible to avoid this disaster.]
[So you simply give up and enjoy a period of leisure in Demon God City.]
[One day, the Auspicious Avoidance Talent issues a warning, and you suspect that Qingyunzi is about to arrive.]
[Sure enough, a few days later, Qingyunzi appears at your residence, intending to take you away.]
[Just as you are about to give up resistance, you suddenly hear a voice like a great bell, a thunderous roar.]
[Qingyunzi, you dare come to my Demon God City? Do you truly not hold my Demon God General in any regard?]
[A figure ten zhang tall, like a giant, appears near your residence.]
[It wields a ten zhang giant axe, clad in black armor, its face obscured, but exuding a murderous aura that chills the heart!]
[Qingyunzi chuckles in response, points at you, and claims that you are his direct disciple, and he has come only to take you away.]
[The Black-Armored Demon General frowns slightly, about to question you, but you find that you are unable to move or make a sound…]
[You have heard of this Black-Armored Demon General. The leader of the Demon God Prison, a cultivator at the Great Luo Realm, is indeed a cultivator clad in black armor, with demonic energy swirling around his body!]
[This Black-Armored Demon General is called the Demon God General. Although his name contains the word "demon," he is upright and honorable, but he enjoys fighting and has a volatile temper, often engaging in disputes and battling for life and death…]
[And at this moment, the Black-Armored Demon General you see is certainly not the True Body of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but rather a projection of a Dharma Idol…]
[Just as you are helpless and about to give up resistance, the Black-Armored Demon General swings his axe, a surge of black energy erupting, aimed directly at Qingyunzi's head.]
[Facing this fierce attack, Qingyunzi calmly flicks his sleeve, completely deflecting it.]
[The Demon God General frowns slightly and says: I didn't expect you to have already taken that step…]
[With those words, the Demon God General's Dharma Idol gradually disappears.]
[Qingyunzi's expression is impassive. He flicks his sleeve, taking you away to a location tens of thousands of li away.]
[Then Qingyunzi questions you…]
[You know you can't hide it, so you confess honestly.]
[Qingyunzi doesn't believe you, and performs a Soul Search…]
[Your consciousness gradually dissipates…]
[You are dead!]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned slightly.
"The Demon God Prison's leader, the Demon God General?"
"This seems to be an old enemy of Qingyunzi…"
Su Xing stroked his chin. He didn't know why Qingyunzi and the Demon God General had a feud.
But it was clear that the Demon God Prison and Qingyunzi did not have a good relationship, and it was obviously not just because of the deaths of their disciples…
"This seems like a space I can exploit… if I hide in Demon God City and don't come out, Qingyunzi and the Descending Church would both be difficult to deal with…"
"The only risk is that it's easy to die on the front lines…"
Su Xing pondered for a moment and felt that this could be manipulated, but the risks were unknown.
He would have to try it out later…
"Whatever, let's collect the rewards from this simulation first!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and his gaze fell upon the rewards from this simulation.
[Unprincipled Talent]: Golden Talent, costs 10 million energy points.
[Sixty Years of Pill Refinement Experience]: After exchange, your existing Pill Refinement comprehension will slightly increase, costs 60 million energy.
[Great Ascension Stage Seventh Level]: Great Ascension Stage cultivator, comprehending the Origin Power, seeking Dao Essence, their magical power resonates with the heavens and earth, their spiritual energy sea is boundless… costs 4 billion energy.
[Heavenly Sword Scripture Comprehension]: Heavenly Sword Scripture perfected, Sword's True Meaning comprehended to the pinnacle level, vaguely seeing the embryonic form of the Sword Grand Dao. If you can unite the three swords as one, you can enter the Sword Dao and become a Sword Immortal! Costs 4 billion energy.
In this simulation, Su Xing's goals were clear, and he was incredibly fortunate to trigger a chance enlightenment, leading to the perfection of the Sword's True Meaning, making Sword Immortality a possibility!
"I choose the Golden Talent Unprincipled Talent, and the Heavenly Sword Scripture Comprehension!"
As soon as Su Xing's voice fell, he heard the simulation system's prompt.
[Ding, detected that your Talent slots are full. Do you want to replace a Talent or expand your Talent slots?]
Su Xing pondered for a moment and felt that the Immortal Arts Hundred Skills: Talisman Expert Talent was currently useless, so he silently said:
"Replace the Talisman Expert Talent with Unprincipled Talent…"
[Ding, replacing Talent…]
[Ding, you have successfully brought out the Golden Talent Unprincipled Talent, spending 10 million energy, remaining energy 14.64096 billion points…]
[Ding, you have successfully brought out the Heavenly Sword Scripture Comprehension (Perfect), spending 4 billion energy, remaining energy 10.64096 billion points…]
The simulation system's prompts ended, and two streams of energy surged into Su Xing's body.
At that moment, countless fragments of memories related to the Sword Dao flooded Su Xing's mind.
Su Xing's comprehension of Sword Intent rapidly increased!
After a moment, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his lips curving into a slight smile.
With a thought, seven hundred and twenty streams of Protective Sword Aura appeared around Su Xing.
Although the number remained the same, the Sword Intent within the Sword Aura was more substantial, and its power had increased by nearly double!
"Not bad… with just these seven hundred and twenty streams of Sword Aura, within the Transcending Tribulation Stage, there are no opponents!"
"If combined with the Unprincipled Talent, I can even fight with an Immortal!"
Although he only had one chance to use it, if handled properly, Su Xing had a high chance of winning against a Human Immortal Realm being!
Feeling the significant increase in his strength, Su Xing was in a very good mood.
He glanced at the time and guessed that Lu Yuanwu was already waiting.
So Su Xing began to change his appearance and conceal his aura. After a moment, he met with Lu Yuanwu at the agreed-upon location.
Lu Yuanwu's attitude towards Su Xing remained respectful, and soon the transaction was completed. Su Xing flew towards the Immortal Martial Era dungeon on his sword.
…
In the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven.
"Whew… another 4 billion simulation energy earned. But relying solely on myself to mine the alien metal ore is still too slow… it's better to leave these tasks to puppets!"
Su Xing muttered a few words, then took out a large number of fourth-order alien metals and began to forge new puppets.
This puppet blueprint was a memory Su Xing obtained from the Luo Tian dungeon.
Although it wasn't a top-tier puppet blueprint, it was more than capable of mining a mere alien metal ore field.
Su Xing spent a week creating a metal puppet and equipped it with a spirit weapon as a mining tool.
"One mining puppet should be able to dig up 500 cubic meters of alien metal ore per week without difficulty!"
Su Xing stroked his chin, muttering to himself.
The process of creating a mining puppet was much more complex than that of a Pill Puppet, and Su Xing could only create one per week.
However, every week, he would passively gain 500 cubic meters of fourth-order alien metal ore, which would yield about 500 million simulation energy after refining. Su Xing was quite satisfied.
Moreover, every week, this amount would increase by another 500 million simulation energy, until it reached the purification limit of the Tarot Association!
"At most two months, with the addition of eight puppets, the mining speed will be able to catch up with me… and the later it gets, the greater the yield!"
The corners of Su Xing's mouth couldn't help but rise.
Both the mining puppet and the Pill Puppet were long-term investments…
Su Xing estimated that the alien metal ore he had discovered, including those in the Beast Taming Realm and Immortal Martial Era dungeons, would be enough for these puppets to mine for at least a couple of years.
This meant that Su Xing would have a fixed source of energy every week for the next two years.
After placing the puppet within an alien metal ore vein and setting up a protective formation, Su Xing returned to Blue Star.
He glanced at the time, it was about time to meet with Jin Congxue.
So, Su Xing tidied himself up a bit and headed towards the villa.
Jin Congxue wore a pale purple dress today. As summer approached, the clothes became increasingly cool.
For the past two years, she had been taking Beauty-Nourishing Pills, and coupled with the transformation of her life essence after breaking through to the Heavenly King level, Jin Congxue had become even more alluring, her skin in excellent condition.
"Tsk, you've been staring for so long… haven't you had your fill yet?"
Jin Congxue chuckled, covering her mouth.
Su Xing's face flushed red, and he buried himself in his food.
After finishing the meal, Jin Congxue briefed Su Xing on the work progress of the past two weeks.
"These past two weeks, I went overseas… and the market development is going pretty well, just as I expected. Both the United States and the Yellow Island Nation have a huge demand for Beauty-Nourishing Pills!"
"But we've also encountered some problems… after all, it's not our home turf, and there's some resistance from local forces…"
Jin Congxue informed Su Xing of her research results on the overseas market over the past two weeks.
Basically, the initial market development wasn't very smooth, and local business chambers had put some pressure on the Tarot Association's goods, but the overall trend was positive.
Su Xing nodded slightly, guessing that it was time for him to make a trip overseas.
"The Yellow Island Nation, as one of the Seven Nations, is quite close to Great Xia, it's worth exploring…"
Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered.
The Yellow Island Nation is a country surrounded by the sea, with its main territory located on an island, near the northeastern region of Great Xia, not far from Kyoto City, probably less than ten thousand li in a straight line.
Although the Yellow Island Nation's land area is not large, it has a considerable number of professionals and a relatively developed commercial sector. If Su Xing could establish trade relations with the Yellow Island Nation, he could earn more simulation energy!
Just as Su Xing was pondering, Jin Congxue took out a storage ring and handed it to Su Xing, saying:
"Here, this is a local item brought back from the United States. It's not produced in our Great Xia dungeons. See if the organization needs it…"
Su Xing took the storage ring and probed it with his spiritual sense.
He soon discovered many fist-sized, crimson-red strange ores.
These ores were not alien metals, but they were shrouded in black energy, exuding a sense of evil…
[Ding, detected a substance containing simulation energy… worth 10 million simulation energy. Do you want to absorb it?]
Su Xing was stunned for a moment, and his interest was immediately piqued.
In this storage ring, there were about a thousand of these strange stones.
On average, each one was worth 10,000 simulation energy… this seemed incredibly valuable!
So Su Xing asked Jin Congxue:
"Sister Xue… where did you get these stones from?"
Jin Congxue explained:
"These stones are called Abyss Stones… they come from a special dungeon in the United States, the Endless Abyss!"
"These stones are very valuable in the United States, and they can significantly improve the strength of some of their local professionals."
"The price of one Abyss Stone is about one million Great Xia coins, and that doesn't include customs duties. Only Master-level and above professionals can mine them in the Abyss dungeon…"
Jin Congxue explained a lot, but Su Xing's eyes lit up.
Including customs duties, the price of an Abyss Stone would be less than 1.5 million Great Xia coins.
On average, 150 stones would exchange for one point of simulation energy… this cost-effectiveness seemed even higher than white equipment!
Furthermore, Abyss Stones were small and easy to carry, and the quantity was easy to count… this was an excellent way to obtain energy!
Moreover… if he recruited a group of American professionals to mine specifically in the Abyss, perhaps the price could be even lower!
Thinking this, Su Xing decisively said:
"Sister Xue, the Tarot Association needs to open up the overseas market as soon as possible!"
"Establish a branch there as quickly as possible. Apart from maintaining the basic operations of the business chamber, all the profits should be used to purchase these Abyss Stones!"
Seeing Su Xing's serious expression, Jin Congxue also realized the value of these small stones.
So she nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible. You can rest assured about that!"
Su Xing nodded slightly. He had complete faith in Jin Congxue's abilities…
With Jin Congxue overseeing it, these Abyss Stones would undoubtedly flow into Su Xing's pockets soon.
Then Jin Congxue handed over the goods and purified alien metals from that week to Su Xing, with a total value of 4.3 billion energy.
Su Xing also handed over the pills that the puppet had refined that week to Jin Congxue…
The transaction was completed, and soon this meeting ended. Su Xing returned to the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven.
…
He glanced at the time, there was still some time before the simulation cooldown.
Su Xing began to plan the goals for his next simulation.
"Currently, with the Unprincipled Talent's boost… I possess the power to unleash a single strike comparable to a full-power attack from an Immortal Realm being!"
"But this is not sustainable… the most crucial thing is to improve my cultivation realm!"
"Great Ascension Mid-Stage cultivation… it's not far from reaching the Transcending Tribulation Stage!"
Su Xing pondered for a moment.
At present, breaking through to the Transcending Tribulation Stage and achieving the Immortal Realm was still his top priority!
After achieving the Immortal Realm, regardless of whether the two "Supreme Secret Techniques" were available for Su Xing to cultivate.
Perhaps, at that time, the Luo Tian dungeon would bestow even more inheritances upon Su Xing…
After determining the short-term simulation goals, the goals for this simulation became clear.
"Increase my Qi Refinement cultivation as much as possible… and also the strength of my spiritual sense!"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
On May 5, 2025, of the New Era, Su Xing began a new round of simulation!
"Begin simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 8,600 energy points, remaining energy 19.18096 billion points, 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?]
Su Xing didn't hesitate and decisively said:
"Draw a Golden Talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent Enchantment Master, the next chance of drawing a Golden Talent is 60%…]
[Enchantment Master]: Purple Talent, Immortal Arts Hundred Skills: Enchantment. You can enchant spirit treasures, weapons, etc., further enhancing the power of spirit treasures…
Su Xing saw the newly drawn Talent and felt a bit helpless.
"Sure enough, it's a Purple Talent, and Enchantment isn't considered top-tier among the Immortal Arts Hundred Skills. There's no need to learn it…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, his gaze returning to the simulation panel.
[In the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven, you realize that you are in a simulation!]
[You go to trade with Lu Yuanwu, and no accidents occur during the process…]
[Ten days later, you go to the Luo Tian dungeon to learn Puppet Dao.]
[Your mastery of Puppet Dao improves slightly, then you go to meet Luo Shuyin as promised.]
[With Luo Shuyin's introduction, you join the Descending Church…]
[After joining the Descending Church, you take the opportunity to visit the United States on the other side of the ocean.]
[In the US market, you secretly investigate for a long time and discover the Beauty-Nourishing Pills sold by the Tarot Association.]
[The export price of the Beauty-Nourishing Pills is more than three times the price in Great Xia.]
[But after deducting various customs duties, a single Beauty-Nourishing Pill only brings in 2.5 million Great Xia coins in revenue…]
[Fortunately, the Beauty-Nourishing Pills are selling well, but they are facing suppression from other business chambers, who are trying to purchase the pill formula, or even have the Tarot Association sell it to them at a very low price.]
[Without the support of local business chambers, the Beauty-Nourishing Pills are difficult to promote, but due to their excellent effects, they are still favored by some wealthy women.]
[After inspecting the Beauty-Nourishing Pill market, you travel to the Endless Abyss dungeon.]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and his heart stirred, murmuring:
"Endless Abyss… a dungeon on Blue Star that's equally famous as the Demon Suppressing Pass, I want to see what's up with it!"
"Using Immersive Simulation, duration 24 hours…"
The simulation prompt ended, and Su Xing's vision changed.
The next second, Su Xing found himself in a strange space he had never seen before.
Crimson-red earth, occasional withered trees, a pitch-black sky above, only a red moon emitting a red glow that enveloped the land.
The air was filled with a pungent smell, causing Su Xing to frown slightly.
"Here, is this the Endless Abyss?"
Su Xing looked up at the red moon in the sky. He was certain that this moon was the same Red Moon from the Slaughter Battlefield!
"I want to see… what mysteries the Endless Abyss holds!"
Su Xing's heart stirred, and his spiritual sense spread out like a tide.
Soon, the situation of all the creatures in the first layer of the Abyss was captured by Su Xing's spiritual sense.
"Hm? The creatures in the Abyss seem somewhat similar to the demons and devils of Western mythology?"
"But there's no doubt… these are alien races! Just that their strength is only around the Gold level…"
The structure of the Endless Abyss is very different from that of the Demon Suppressing Pass.
The Demon Suppressing Pass is located on the Slaughter Battlefield and is generally on a single plane.
But the Endless Abyss is layered, like a thousand-layer cake, going down level by level…
Su Xing was currently in the first layer, which was quite large, about the size of a province.
Su Xing's spiritual sense also captured the auras of professionals and alien races. Through battles, American professionals could also gain experience and improve their strength.
"This layer doesn't reveal much… let's look further down!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he quickly flew towards the entrance to the next layer of the Abyss.
The entire Abyss, like a thousand-layer cake, extended downwards layer by layer.
Su Xing passed through a cave several tens of li long and arrived at the next layer of the Abyss.
In the second layer of the Endless Abyss, the strength of the alien monsters had clearly increased.
Using the professional level as a reference, they were about ten professional levels stronger.
But they were still garbage monsters at the Gold level… After exploring for a while, Su Xing didn't stay and continued downwards.
Going down all the way, Su Xing passed through twenty or so layers of the Endless Abyss and finally encountered monsters that piqued his interest.
The alien races here had reached near-Legendary level, but they were very few in number, and their eyes were blood-red, seemingly wandering aimlessly…
"All the alien monsters in the Endless Abyss seem to have red eyes?"
"So… are they controlled by the Red Moon?"
"And… the Endless Abyss seems to be an underground dungeon, with no sky visible, only the red moon and eternal night…"
Su Xing arrived beside a Legendary-level demon and casually killed it.
Then, he took out a fist-sized red stone from the demon's body.
This stone was the Abyss Stone!
Just that it looked a higher grade than the ones Jin Congxue had given him before…
Su Xing vaguely had some guesses.
But his guesses needed further confirmation!
So Su Xing continued his exploration downwards.
Ten layers… twenty layers… thirty layers!
After reaching nearly a hundred layers, the number of monsters here had become extremely scarce, often only one or two red-eyed alien races per layer.
Moreover, the monsters' levels had reached near-Saint level!
Even more terrifying than the monsters in the Demon Suppressing Pass…
Su Xing didn't find any trace of professionals here, obviously, this place was too dangerous, an area that the American professionals hadn't discovered yet…
At this point, Su Xing's guesses had been largely confirmed!
The Immersive Simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world…
"Whew… Endless Abyss, a dungeon that's not at all inferior to the Demon Suppressing Pass in difficulty?"
Su Xing took a deep breath, suddenly recalling the terrifying demon alien race he saw in the United States during the initial simulation.
"That demon is very likely from the Endless Abyss!"
"Furthermore, the strength of the monsters in the Endless Abyss is even stronger than the current Demon Suppressing Pass!"
"But the difference is that these red-eyed alien races are frenzied and lack independent consciousness, they don't actively initiate attacks…"
"Coupled with the peculiar terrain of the Endless Abyss, it makes it difficult for these red-eyed alien races to invade the upper layers of the Abyss, making it relatively safe…"
Su Xing continued to analyze in his heart.
The United States, as a powerful country on Blue Star, is actually far less powerful than Great Xia, and its number of Legendary experts is also much smaller.
But their Endless Abyss is much safer than the Demon Suppressing Pass, so their rear is secure.
But if the Demon Suppressing Pass is ever destroyed, and the Red Moon is resurrected, the alien races in the Endless Abyss will naturally riot, and that's when alien races will descend upon the United States.
"However, those Abyss Stones are an excellent source of energy… I can collect them in large quantities in the future!"
Su Xing estimated that deep within the Abyss, there might be deeper secrets related to the Red Moon, which is why it sent out so many red-eyed alien races to guard it!
And Su Xing also vaguely had a guess about the location of the Abyss…
Perhaps, it was located directly beneath the Slaughter Battlefield!
"However, my current strength is still insufficient. If I rashly contact the Red Moon, I'll only alert the snake…"
Su Xing sighed.
The Red Moon's past strength might have been comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal!
It was far beyond what Su Xing could currently confront head-on…
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[After investigating the Endless Abyss, you return to Great Xia.]
[Afterwards, in the Descending Church, you continue your daily cultivation and Divine Sense Wandering… but you pay more attention to intelligence related to the United States.]
[You find that the Descending Church has spies in the United States, and even in the other Seven Nations and Twelve Domains, but their main forces are concentrated within Great Xia!]
[Soon, two years pass.]
[In the third year, your spiritual sense increases to 3,600 li.]
[On Blue Star, there is no competition from cultivators in the Vast Void Realm, it's practically an undeveloped wild world, with abundant resources and few competitors. Your spiritual sense progresses rapidly.]
[And so, another four years pass.]
[In the seventh year, your Qi Refinement cultivation reaches the Great Ascension Stage Fifth Level Mid-Stage.]
[That same year, you are lucky enough to devour a Ground Rank Vast Void Spirit, and your spiritual sense range increases to 3,800 li!]
[This year, you engineer your ascension to the leader of the Natural Faction.]
[In the eighth year, you eliminate Long Laogou, removing many hidden dangers.]
[And so, another three years pass…]
[In the eleventh year, your spiritual sense increases to 4,000 li.]
[That same year, Blood Three descends upon Blue Star, and you offer the Primordial Tree Branch, successfully obtaining a pass.]
[After Blood Three leaves, you know that Blue Star will be safe for the next few years, so you place the Spirit Vein Dragon in the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven.]
[The amount of spiritual liquid you harvest each year increases slightly, and your cultivation resources become even more abundant.]
[And so, another three years pass.]
[In the fourteenth year, your cultivation successfully increases to Great Ascension Stage Fifth Level Late-Stage.]
[This year, you visit the Beast Taming Realm and eliminate Legendary and Emperor-level alien races.]
[Life on Blue Star is relatively leisurely, and as your spiritual sense strength continues to increase, your speed in the Vast Void Realm also increases, and you devour more and more Vast Void Spirits…]
[In the seventeenth year, you are lucky enough to devour another Ground Rank Vast Void Spirit.]
[This year, your spiritual sense increases to 4,400 li!]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, spiritual sense improvement speed is much faster on Blue Star because of the lack of competition in the Vast Void Realm…"
"I just wonder how long it will take to reach the next level of spiritual sense, the Six Senses Realm?"
"Also, because of the existence of the Spirit Vein Dragon, the speed of cultivation improvement is not lagging behind at all… In this simulation, reaching the
[In the twentieth year, your cultivation reaches Great Ascension Stage Fifth Level Peak, and you begin to attempt a breakthrough to Great Ascension Stage Sixth Level.]
[With the help of a million drops of Mid-Grade Spiritual Liquid, and without relying on the Spirit Vein Dragon, you successfully break through!]
[Congratulations, your cultivation has increased to Great Ascension Stage Sixth Level!]
[Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another five years pass.]
[In the twenty-fifth year, you diligently cultivate and your cultivation increases to Great Ascension Stage Sixth Level Mid-Stage.]
[That same year, your spiritual sense increases to 4,900 li.]
[In the blink of an eye, another three years pass…]
[In the twenty-eighth year, your spiritual sense reaches 5,000 li this year.]
[That same year, the Double-Pupil Demon Saint descends upon the Demon Suppressing Pass.]
[With your current strength, you could easily crush him, but to extend the time, you choose to hold back…]
[You successfully delay the situation for five years!]
[In the thirty-third year, your cultivation increases to Great Ascension Stage Sixth Level Late-Stage!]
[Your spiritual sense range also increases to 5,300 li!]
[At this time, the arrival of the divine alien race at the Demon Suppressing Pass is less than ten years away, and you decide to make a full effort to attempt a breakthrough to Great Ascension Seventh Level!]
[In the blink of an eye, another five years pass…]
[In the thirty-eighth year, with the help of sufficient Spiritual Liquid, your cultivation finally increases to Great Ascension Stage Sixth Level Peak!]
[This year, your spiritual sense also increases to 5,500 li…]
[So, you prepare to enter seclusion to push your Qi Refinement cultivation to the limit.]
[You prepare some Spiritual Liquid for the Spirit Vein Dragon in advance, improving its favorability, hoping that it will lend you a hand at a crucial moment.]
[Then, you choose an auspicious day and begin your seclusion to make the breakthrough…]
[In the thirty-ninth year, after half a year of seclusion, your Qi Refinement cultivation finally reaches a certain critical point. Just one more step, and you can break through!]
[And at this moment, the Spirit Vein Dragon also understands your intentions, and a mouthful of pure Qi erupts forth…]
[The Qi enters your body, and your cultivation finally breaks through that barrier.]
[At the same time, the Spiritual Energy Sea within your body is also expanding…]
[Congratulations, you have become a Great Ascension Late-Stage cultivator!]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 265: Six Stages of Ascension, Steps to Immortality! (Two-in-One, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
[After breaking through to the Great Ascension Late Stage, the sea of spiritual energy within you expanded by over 50%, and your profound Dharma power is almost comparable to a Transcending Tribulation cultivator!]
[After ending your seclusion, you are satisfied, knowing that the God-level alien races will descend in a few years.]
[But you also know that your current strength is insufficient to completely resolve the Blue Star crisis, so you simply make preparations to travel to the Three Thousand Worlds ahead of time!]
[The continuous improvement of your spatial origin allows you to carry a capacity of sixteen cubic meters of supplies to the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[Therefore, you can extravagantly pack up all the spiritual liquid, Gathering Spirit Flowers, rare herbs, and other things you've accumulated over the years.]
[You advance continuously towards the direction of the Crimson Moon, reaching the end of the Slaughter Battlefield.]
[After presenting your pass, you arrive at that mysterious space...]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.
"Excellent, in less than forty years, he cultivated to the Great Ascension Late Stage!"
"It seems that in this simulation, reaching the Great Ascension Stage, Eighth Realm…is no longer difficult!"
"And my comprehension of Spatial Origin is also constantly deepening…the goal of this immersive simulation is to achieve Mastery-level comprehension of Spatial Origin!"
Su Xing's heart stirred, and he silently recited:
"Use Immersive Simulation, duration 30 days!"
[Ding, you have successfully used…Remaining energy 19,107,600,000 points.]
The simulator's prompt fell, and Su Xing appeared in the familiar alien space.
Then, Su Xing decisively took the Awakening Spirit Pill, activated the Great Wisdom state, and began to comprehend the surrounding Spatial Origin.
As Su Xing's grasp of Spatial Origin deepened, the amount of time he could survive in the Void Turbulence grew longer.
This also meant that Su Xing's comprehension efficiency of Spatial Origin increased!
Thus, in a continuous positive cycle, Su Xing's comprehension of Spatial Origin deepened further…
On the 24th day of the immersive simulation, Su Xing's comprehension of Spatial Origin finally broke through to Mastery-level!
For the remaining six days, Su Xing did not waste time and continued to comprehend in the void…
…
The immersive simulation ended soon, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
With a thought, a strand of Spatial Origin, like a transparent little snake, coiled around Su Xing's arm.
Su Xing controlled this strand of Origin Power and attempted to envelop his Storage Ring.
After several attempts, Su Xing's eyes held a smile.
"Excellent! With Spatial Origin Mastery, the Origin Power I possess can control a space exceeding fifty cubic meters!"
For Su Xing, a fifty cubic meter Storage Ring could hold most of the valuable items in his Spirit Field Paradise!
Gathering Spirit Flowers, spirit stones, spiritual liquid, pills, various precious herbs, talismans, and so on…
These would all become crucial support for Su Xing after entering the Three Thousand Worlds!
"At this rate, when Spatial Origin reaches Perfection, I might be able to carry hundreds of cubic meters of supplies!"
"If I truly comprehend the Dao of Space…perhaps the entire Spirit Field Paradise can be taken with me!"
At this thought, Su Xing's heart beat rapidly.
If the Spirit Field Paradise could be taken to the Three Thousand Worlds, it meant that the Spirit Vein Dragon could also be brought along!
At that time, Su Xing's cultivation speed would further accelerate!
"Whew…However, comprehending the Dao of Space is currently a bit difficult for me…this is something to consider after reaching the Immortal Realm!"
"Currently, what I need to do is still to improve my cultivation and divine sense…"
Su Xing pondered for a moment, his gaze returning to the simulation panel.
[When you regain consciousness, you are already in the northern part of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.]
[In a familiar location, a Storage Ring in your hand holds most of your wealth.]
[Compared to before, the impact of traversing space on you is less this time, only a slight discomfort in your Qi, and no injuries.]
[After adjusting your breath, you fly on your sword towards the White Emperor City.]
[You take the name Su Ye, displaying strength comparable to a Transcending Tribulation cultivator, becoming a Third-Rank Guest Elder of the White Emperor City.]
[In this simulation, you plan to test how long you can simulate at most, so you don't intend to join the Azure Cloud Sect.]
[You cultivate in your cave abode within the White Emperor City. Ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers, combined with a Gathering Spirit Formation, make the spiritual energy density of your abode comparable to a paradise.]
[The only thing that gives you a slight headache is that the competition in this Taixu Realm is too fierce, far less beneficial than the growth of your divine sense through diligently cultivating the 'Wish-fulfilling Observation Method'.]
[In the 40th year, a year and a half after arriving in the Little Azure Cloud Realm, your divine sense with difficulty breaks through to 5,600 li.]
[The daily cultivation of the Wish-fulfilling Observation Method makes your divine sense increasingly resilient. Vaguely, you feel that you have developed a new kind of premonition…]
[This premonition is the ability to avoid unknown risks, the ability to sense the essence and characteristics of things…You understand that this is the Sixth Sense Realm!]
[Ancient texts state that after the divine sense reaches the Sixth Sense Realm, one can achieve great wisdom, discern the essence of things, understand the principles of the world, and experience a surge in comprehension!]
[You know that you are still some distance from the Sixth Sense Realm, so you work even harder in your cultivation…]
[In the 41st year, the growth of your divine sense slows down further, so you decide to visit the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to purchase relevant information, to see if there are any heaven-grade treasures that can enhance your divine sense.]
[You spend several million spirit stones and successfully purchase the relevant information.]
[You learn that, besides the Concentration Wood, the Constant Heart Grass and the Piercing Heart Lotus are also rare and invaluable herbs for tempering the divine sense. Cultivating with their assistance achieves twice the result with half the effort!]
In the real world, Su Xing's lips curled into a smile.
"Oh, isn't this convenient? I should have some Constant Heart Grass on hand!"
"As for the Piercing Heart Lotus…if I remember correctly, there should be a considerable amount in several Transcending Tribulation Realm secret realms that are about to open?"
Su Xing's heart moved. In the information he had previously obtained, there were several secret realms that were about to open in the future.
"Piercing Heart Lotus…in the secret realm left by the Black Heart Elder, there seems to be this heaven-grade treasure, and in significant quantities…"
"If I'm not mistaken, there's also an unformed nascent Immortal Treasure in that secret realm?"
Su Xing stroked his chin, feeling it was time to explore the secret realm.
Su Xing had a natural advantage in having prior knowledge of various secret realms, allowing him to easily obtain the heaven-grade treasures within.
Even some precious treasures might not be seen even within the Azure Cloud Sect!
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the 42nd year, after some planning, you head towards the Black Heart Elder's secret realm.]
[This secret realm is only ten thousand li from the White Emperor City, and most of the cultivators vying for it are at the Transcending Tribulation Realm, so there's almost no risk for you.]
[The only thing you need to be mindful of is that the Black Heart Elder was an evil cultivator in his lifetime, and there are many mechanisms and traps in the secret realm he left behind…You need to avoid these traps based on the information in your memory.]
[You arrive at the location of the secret realm ahead of time and enter it the moment it opens. At this time, most cultivators are still unaware that the secret realm has opened…]
[You perfectly avoid all the mechanisms and traps based on the memories in your mind.]
[A week later, you leave the secret realm, having plundered all the heaven-grade treasures within…]
[At this moment, most cultivators have only just arrived and are entering the secret realm to explore.]
[A month later, an interesting piece of news spreads through the White Emperor City.]
[The Black Heart Elder's secret realm is a trap, with no heaven-grade treasures inside. Over 30% of the hundreds of cultivators who explored the secret realm died, but they gained nothing…]
[Upon hearing this news, a strange smile appears on your face.]
[You take out the dozens of Piercing Heart Lotuses you obtained from the secret realm, one by one, consuming one each month, and your divine sense progresses rapidly…]
[Thus, four years pass…]
[In the 46th year, your divine sense range reaches 6,000 li!]
[This has exceeded the limit of ordinary Great Ascension cultivators. Even Transcending Tribulation cultivators who have passed the Divine Sense Trial are only about this strong.]
[But you still feel that you are a long way from the upper limit… ]
[For ordinary cultivators, wanting to cultivate their divine sense, apart from innate talent, they need to consume heaven-grade treasures or practice divine sense cultivation methods.]
[However, heaven-grade treasures are difficult to obtain, and divine sense cultivation methods have their limits…]
[The reason you can possess such powerful divine sense, apart from the crucial role of the Concentration Pills, is due to the assistance of the Wish-fulfilling Observation Method and the Taixu Spirit!]
[Unfortunately, the effects of the Concentration Pills are getting weaker now, and you can only try other heaven-grade treasures.]
[In the same year, you begin consuming the Constant Heart Grass and diligently cultivating to improve your divine sense…]
[In the 50th year, your divine sense range reaches 6,300 li!]
[You are getting closer and closer to entering the Sixth Sense Realm.]
[In the 51st year, your cultivation reaches the Great Ascension Eighth Realm, Mid Stage… ]
[The heaven-grade treasures you obtained in the secret realm are almost depleted, and the speed of your divine sense improvement has slowed down again.]
[Fortunately, you hear that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Auction House will be auctioning several pills that enhance divine sense in the near future.]
[So you prepare to go there and participate in the auction.]
[You ultimately purchase several Ninth-Rank pills, including the Awakening Spirit Pill and the Myriad Soul Pill, for a price of 30 million spirit stones.]
[You don't mind spending the spirit stones because these spirit stones were easily obtained after you sold the Black Heart Elder's nascent Immortal Treasure.]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly.
"With my Transcending Tribulation Realm strength, invincible below the Immortal Realm…spending a mere few tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones isn't really a waste…"
If it were a Nascent Soul or even a Great Ascension cultivator spending this amount, they might be robbed by evil cultivators.
But Su Xing's strength was sufficient to protect such wealth. As long as he didn't flaunt wealth exceeding hundreds of millions of spirit stones, ordinary Transcending Tribulation cultivators wouldn't risk a life-or-death struggle with Su Xing…
"With these pills, the speed of my divine sense improvement shouldn't be too slow!"
Su Xing muttered, stroking his chin.
In this simulation, he didn't appear in the Azure Cloud Sect, and combined with his own Heavenly Secrets shielding, Azure Cloud Master's memory hadn't fully recovered, so finding Su Xing wasn't easy.
Su Xing was worried about the pursuit of the Descending Sect.
Therefore, Su Xing had to be in a safe place…
After much thought, Su Xing still felt that the Demon God City was the most suitable for him!
"The Demon God City…although it's located on the front lines, it has persisted the longest, and there's a Demon God General's incarnation guarding it…the Descending Sect wouldn't be foolish enough to directly confront the front-line cultivators of the Demon God City…"
Su Xing nodded slightly, his mind set. He looked at the simulation panel.
[After attending the auction, you have no shortage of cultivation resources for a short time, and you continue to cultivate diligently.]
[In the blink of an eye, another four years pass…]
[In the 55th year, your divine sense grows to 6,700 li, and your cultivation of the Wish-fulfilling Observation Method deepens further.]
[In the 59th year, your divine sense grows to 7,000 li, and the pills you purchased at the auction are depleted…]
[But you still haven't reached the current upper limit of your divine sense…you are overjoyed by this. The higher the upper limit, the stronger your divine sense will be after you become an Immortal in the future!]
[In the 60th year, you perform a divination and find that if you continue to stay in the White Emperor City, you might face a calamity in the future.]
[In recent years, the situation in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains has become increasingly dire, and the number of cultivators in the White Emperor City has decreased. You know that the Descending Sect might have freed up their hands to search for your whereabouts.]
[So you make a decisive move and take an airship to the Demon God City!]
[Several months later, you arrive at the Demon God City…]
[Upon arriving at the Demon God City, the feeling of danger does indeed lessen. Even if the Descending Sect is like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, they wouldn't be stupid enough to directly confront the elite cultivators of the Demon God City's front lines… ]
[Because this place gathers most of the elite cultivators of the Little Azure Cloud Realm!]
[At this time, the Demon God City is actively recruiting cultivators from the Little Azure Cloud Realm to jointly resist the alien races.]
[You showcase your skills as an Eighth-Rank Pill Master and a Ninth-Rank Formation Grandmaster, and you are incorporated into the rear echelon of the Demon God City.]
[As before, your daily schedule is relatively free. Apart from providing a fixed quota of pills and repairing formations each month, you spend most of your time cultivating.]
[Thus, another four years pass…]
[In the 64th year, your divine sense grows to 7,200 li.]
[Cultivation resources are relatively scarce in the Demon God City, so the improvement of your divine sense is slow.]
[In the 65th year, your cultivation reaches the Great Ascension Eighth Realm, Late Stage… ]
[As your cultivation base in Qi Refinement improves, your cultivation speed gradually slows down.]
[This year, you accidentally hear some news on the front lines: many powerful red-eyed alien races have appeared on the front lines, causing significant trouble for the cultivators…]
In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly.
"Red-eyed alien races, could it be the Crimson Moon?"
"Could it be…that the Crimson Moon has resurrected so quickly?"
Su Xing fell into contemplation.
In the simulation's 65th year, the timeline should have seen the destruction of Blue Star…devoured by the giant beast.
Whether the Crimson Moon had resurrected, Su Xing did not know.
However, the red-eyed alien races were very likely to be controlled by the Crimson Moon…
"Tsk tsk, an alien evil god who was once comparable to a Da Luo Realm being, her strength probably hasn't fully recovered, right?"
Su Xing clicked his tongue, for powerful lifeforms, it was extremely difficult to get injured, but once injured, it was even more difficult to recover.
Moreover, for an evil god comparable to a Da Luo Golden Immortal, even if she planned for ten thousand years, it would likely be difficult to restore her to her peak state…
"Unfortunately, even if she recovers to the Golden Immortal or Taishang Realm…it's not something the cultivators of the Little Azure Cloud Realm can withstand, unless other major forces intervene…"
Su Xing sighed slightly and silently recorded the news of the Crimson Moon's resurrection.
When Su Xing's strength became strong enough, this Crimson Moon, who hadn't fully recovered to her peak, might become an opportunity for him…
"Next, I'll steadily improve my strength…and try to simulate more time if possible!"
Su Xing thought this, looking at the simulation panel.
[In the 68th year, the situation in the Demon God City deteriorates further, and the number of cultivators who die on the front lines increases.]
[The Demon God City's deployment of cultivators from the Little Azure Cloud Realm becomes increasingly frequent.]
[Ambitious cultivators take the initiative to join the battle in the Demon God City, but more cultivators are forcibly conscripted by the Demon God City.]
[Fortunately, you're doing relatively well in the Demon God City. Since you joined earlier and your pill-making and formation-setting skills are proficient, many cultivators are respectful towards you.]
[But in recent years, as the pressure on the front lines has increased, more and more rear echelon cultivators have been ambushed by alien races.]
[You are constantly vigilant against the possibility of alien ambushes.]
[In the 69th year, the city you're in is unfortunately attacked by a God-level alien race.]
[Transcending Tribulation cultivators within the city desperately resist, but to little avail.]
[At a critical moment, you strike with a sword, unleashing 720 sword Qi, almost instantly killing the God-level alien race.]
[After this battle, you become famous in one fell swoop… ]
[Your treatment and cultivation resources in the Demon God City see a slight improvement.]
[Thus, another three years pass…]
[In the 72nd year, your divine sense range grows to 7,600 li.]
[But the situation in the Demon God City becomes even more dire… ]
[As the alien races continue to invade, it's unknown how much longer the Demon God City can hold… ]
[Major forces in the Little Azure Cloud Realm begin to withdraw, leaving the Little Azure Cloud Realm increasingly vulnerable.]
[Thus, another three years pass…]
[In the 75th year, your divine sense grows to 7,800 li.]
[In the same year, your cultivation reaches the Great Ascension Eighth Realm, Peak Stage, and you begin preparing for seclusion to break through… ]
[In the 76th year, your first breakthrough attempt fails, but you are not discouraged and continue to accumulate strength… ]
[Thus, another three years pass.]
[In the 79th year, your divine sense grows to 8,000 li this year!]
[In the same year, the front-line troops you're in are ambushed by alien races, suffering heavy casualties… ]
[A God-level alien race attacks you, and the surrounding Transcending Tribulation cultivators desperately resist, but to no avail… ]
[All cultivators pin their hopes on you, hoping that you can, like ten years ago, unleash a sword and severely injure the God-level alien race!]
[But unfortunately, your current strength is still some distance from the Human Immortal Realm, lacking the unscrupulous talent's advantage, and you are constantly suppressed by this alien race… ]
[You cooperate with several Transcending Tribulation cultivators, barely delaying for over a hundred rounds, but you are still killed by this God-level alien race… ]
[You are dead!]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief.
"Only 79 years of simulation…and in the 79th year, the Little Azure Cloud Realm hasn't fallen…"
Su Xing began to analyze. Although the Little Azure Cloud Realm was at a disadvantage in its resistance against the alien races, its overall strength was still formidable. Following this trend, it would probably be able to hold on for over a hundred years…
"What a pity, if the major forces hadn't withdrawn and continued to defend, even holding on for two hundred years might have been possible!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. Seventy-nine years was the longest simulation he had ever had.
Moreover, the cause of death was not the destruction of the Little Azure Cloud Realm, but his own insufficient strength, unable to withstand the repeated attacks of the God-level alien races…
"Inferior God-level alien races are equivalent to Human Immortal Realm cultivators…and in my simulations, I've only had one instance where my strength was comparable to a Human Immortal, and even then, it was still a bit weak…"
"Currently, apart from improving my cultivation, the fastest way to improve my strength is through Protective Sword Qi!"
Su Xing's heart moved.
Originally, 720 strands of Protective Sword Qi was his limit.
But now that Su Xing's Sword Intent was perfect, and his Sword True Meaning was almost integrated into the Dao of Sword, this limit had been further increased!
"If I had over a thousand strands of Protective Sword Qi, even without relying on the unscrupulous talent, I could probably fight a Human Immortal!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, a strong sense of confidence in his heart.
"However, this time, I should first look at the simulation rewards…"
Su Xing looked at the reward list.
[Attached Dharma Master]: Purple Talent, price 1 million energy points.
[Sixty Years of Pill-making Experience]: After redemption, your existing pill-making comprehension will slightly increase. Price 60 million energy points.
[Great Ascension Stage, Eighth Realm]: A Great Ascension cultivator, comprehending Origin Power, seeking Dao Essence, Dharma power resonates with Heaven and Earth, the sea of spiritual energy is boundless…Price 6 billion energy points.
[Divine Sense 8,000 li (Subtlety Realm)]: Divine sense range reaches 8,000 li, divine sense strength is already comparable to a Transcending Tribulation cultivator. Only one more step is needed to reach the Sixth Sense Realm. Price 4.5 billion energy points.
Su Xing looked at the simulation rewards before him, without much hesitation, he silently recited:
"Redeem the Great Ascension Stage, Eighth Realm cultivation…and the 8,000 li divine sense!"
[Ding, you have successfully brought out the Great Ascension Stage, Eighth Realm cultivation, spending 6 billion energy points. Remaining energy 13,107,600,000 points… ]
[Ding, you have successfully brought out the 8,000 li divine sense, spending 4.5 billion energy points. Remaining energy 8,607,600,000 points… ]
The simulator's prompts fell, and two mysterious energies poured into Su Xing's body.
In just a few breaths, Su Xing's cultivation aura began to surge.
Great Ascension Fifth Realm…Great Ascension Sixth Realm…Great Ascension Seventh Realm!
After reaching the Great Ascension Late Stage, Su Xing's cultivation took another step forward, directly breaking through to the Great Ascension Eighth Realm!
Moreover, his aura continued to rise, until it approached the Great Ascension Eighth Realm, Peak Stage…
After a moment, Su Xing adapted to his surging cultivation and slowly opened his eyes, satisfied.
"Excellent, Great Ascension Eighth Realm, Peak Stage…at this rate, breaking through to the Great Ascension Stage, Perfection, in the next simulation is a sure thing!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing muttered:
"After breaking through to the Great Ascension Stage, Perfection, I'll need to consider the Transcending Tribulation and ascension…"
"But for now, I should first get used to my new divine sense!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he left the Spirit Field Paradise, appearing in his dorm room.
Then, with the capital city of Daxia as the center, Su Xing's divine sense spread out like a tide towards the surroundings.
In an instant, it enveloped the entire capital city…then a thousand li, three thousand li…five thousand li, eight thousand li!
With Su Xing as the center, within a radius of 8,000 li, everything was within the range of Su Xing's divine sense!
If he maintained his usual state, as long as a powerful being with a relatively high life sign appeared, it would attract Su Xing's attention.
If he activated the Subtlety Realm's divine sense, even the slightest rustle would not escape Su Xing's perception…
"Unfortunately, maintaining such high-intensity observation is very taxing on the mind…"
Su Xing muttered, then withdrew his divine sense.
Currently, Su Xing's divine sense range was a perfect circle with a radius of 8,000 li!
To the north, Su Xing's divine sense range had already extended beyond Daxia, reaching the Northern Wilderness Country further north.
To the south, Su Xing's divine sense had almost reached the central and southern parts of Daxia, only a thousand li from Jinling City.
But to be cautious, Su Xing's divine sense did not extend to Shuangqing City, to prevent being sensed by Old Dog Long.
To the east, Su Xing sensed the vast ocean, almost reaching the border of the Huangdao Country.
"Below the Immortal Realm, the divine sense is already this vast…what if it were a Heavenly Immortal, could they cover an entire world?"
Su Xing's eyes were solemn. Perhaps the divine sense of a Golden Immortal or Da Luo Golden Immortal could cover an entire small thousand world!
"It seems that in the future, I need to be careful when facing such powerful beings…otherwise, my every move might be under their surveillance!"
Su Xing muttered.
He glanced at the time. Lu Yuanwu should have arrived at the agreed location by now.
So, Su Xing changed his appearance and concealed his aura, going to meet Lu Yuanwu.
Soon, the transaction was complete, and Su Xing's panel gained nearly 4 billion simulation energy points.
He flew on his sword towards the Immortal Martial Era dungeon and stopped outside the alien metal ore vein. He activated the formation restriction and entered.
"Wow, the miner golems are doing a great job!"
Su Xing looked at the neatly cut alien metal ore and patted the head of a miner golem in satisfaction.
"Speaking of which, this miner golem has a pretty big head. I might as well call it Big Head…"
Su Xing muttered to himself, stroking his chin, then replaced the spirit stones in the miner golem.
At this rate, it was estimated that in a week, the miner golems could dig out over 500 cubic meters of alien metal ore, more efficient than Su Xing had anticipated.
Su Xing then entered the Spirit Field Paradise and began forging the next miner golem.
…
A week later, Su Xing moved a newly forged miner golem into the alien metal ore vein and activated it.
"Not bad, with my current golem crafting skills, I can forge a complete one in a week. As for the other one, I can only refine its body…"
"At this rate, with a bit of hard work in two weeks, forging three miner golems shouldn't be a problem!"
Su Xing mumbled a few words.
Then, he glanced at the time, estimating that Jin Congxue was already waiting for him at the villa.
So, Su Xing tidied up and left the Immortal Martial Era dungeon.
Several hours later, Su Xing appeared at Jin Congxue's villa.
Today, Jin Congxue wore a cool-looking long dress, greeting Su Xing from afar.
"Busy bee, what have you been up to this week?"
Jin Congxue playfully blinked her eyes, then whispered:
"Ahem, has the organization assigned any new tasks?"
Su Xing was stunned for a moment when he saw Jin Congxue suddenly become mysterious, then reacted and pondered for a moment before saying:
"More or less…let you open up the market in the US! Get more Abyss Stones over!"
Jin Congxue patted her full chest, declaring solemnly, "Leave it to me!"
Soon, they finished their meal. Su Xing handed over the 500 cubic meters of alien metal he had collected this week to Jin Congxue.
Then, he also handed over the Qi-Nourishing Pills and Beauty Pills.
Because Su Xing hadn't mined for the past two weeks, the simulation energy provided by the Tarot Society had plummeted. This week, it was only about 400 million energy points.
Su Xing wasn't in a hurry. He knew that golems were a long-term investment, and it wouldn't be long before the returns surpassed the previous ones.
Leaving the villa, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Paradise.
On May 12, 2025, in the new era, the cooldown ended, and Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation.
"Begin simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 8,700 energy points. Remaining energy 13,207,600,000 points. Remaining simulation attempts: none.]
[Simulation start!]
[Spend 100,000 energy points to draw a Purple Talent, spend 1 million energy points to draw a Golden Legendary Talent. Do you want to draw?]
Su Xing didn't hesitate and decisively said:
"Draw a Golden Talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent Star Calculation Master. The probability of drawing a Golden Talent next time is 70%… ]
[Star Calculation Master]: Purple Talent. One of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, Star Calculation, can observe the changes in the stars in the night sky to divine one's fortune and auspiciousness.
Su Xing: "..."
"Two Purple Talents in a row, my luck is a bit bad today!"
Su Xing couldn't help but complain, looking at the description of the talent.
"Star Calculation…if I'm not mistaken, this seems to be a branch of the Dao of Divination? In the Three Thousand Worlds, some special tribal shamans seem to do this…"
Su Xing shook his head and stopped paying attention.
Star Calculation wasn't a particularly profound Immortal Cultivation Hundred Art.
"Whew…since I didn't draw a good talent, I'll carry out the plan for this simulation!"
A glint flashed in Su Xing's eyes.
Currently, Su Xing's cultivation had reached the Great Ascension Eighth Realm, Peak Stage!
Only one step away from reaching the Great Ascension Stage, Perfection, at which point he could prepare for the Transcending Tribulation!
Su Xing's goal for this simulation was to prepare for the Transcending Tribulation…
In addition, Su Xing's strongest offensive and defensive technique, Protective Sword Qi, also needed further strengthening!
With this in mind, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Paradise, you realize you are in a simulation.]
[You trade with Lu Yuanwu as planned, and the results are successful.]
[Ten days later, you head to the Luotian Dungeon!]
In the real world, Su Xing's heart stirred, and he silently recited:
"Use Immersive Simulation, duration 24 hours!"
[Ding…]
The prompt fell, and Su Xing appeared in the familiar grand hall.
The voice of Witch Chromium, the Supreme Elder, came from ahead:
"Good disciple, go to the back mountain and invite your Divine Farmer Uncle to come…"
Su Xing obeyed and headed towards the back mountain.
After successfully bringing Divine Farmer Youtian to the grand hall, Su Xing followed Witch Chromium to the back hall.
"Good disciple, what is it that you wish to ask me?"
Witch Chromium stroked his beard and asked, his eyes filled with affection.
Su Xing pondered for a moment and asked:
"Master, my current cultivation is almost at the Great Ascension Stage, Perfection…so I wanted to ask about the Transcending Tribulation!"
Witch Chromium heard Su Xing's words and nodded slightly, a flash of reminiscence in his eyes.
"Transcending Tribulation! Yes…in the blink of an eye, the little brat who used to chase after me and wanted to eat the Yellow Immortal Chicken is about to become an Immortal…"
Su Xing's heart stirred upon hearing Witch Chromium's words. It seemed that in the dungeon's background, the Luo Xiaochuan Su Xing had transformed into had close relationships with many people in the sect…
Just as Su Xing was lost in thought, Witch Chromium asked:
"Xiaochuan, tell me…what is an Immortal?"
Su Xing heard Witch Chromium's words and thought for a moment before replying:
"Those who have perfected their Dharma power, enjoy a lifespan of ten thousand years, endless and unrestrained, are Immortals…"
Witch Chromium heard Su Xing's answer and did not comment on whether it was right or wrong, but instead explained:
"The Great Ascension Stage and the Immortal Realm, seemingly only one realm apart…but they are truly worlds apart, the difference between the mortal and the immortal!"
"Even at the Great Ascension Stage, Perfection, the top cultivator in the mortal realm…is still a mortal, unable to see the Immortal Dao!"
"Counting the cultivator realms, from Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul…or even Transformation God, Returning Void, Unity, Great Ascension…all these experiences are preparation for becoming an Immortal!"
"Once you enter Qi Refinement, it's like a boundless sea!"
Su Xing listened quietly. This Supreme Elder with white hair and beard was clearly reminiscing about his own journey to immortality.
Witch Chromium continued:
"At the Golden Core realm…we form the Nine-turn Golden Core, at the Nascent Soul realm, we pursue the Transcendent Nascent Soul!"
"All of this is laying the foundation for becoming an Immortal!"
"Those who do not form the Nine-turn Golden Core or achieve the Transcendent Nascent Soul…have no hope of the Immortal path. This is not just an empty statement!"
Pausing for a moment, Witch Chromium continued:
"But after reaching the Great Ascension Stage, Perfection, the true test for us mortal cultivators has just begun!"
"Xiaochuan, your Dharma power is profound, and your cultivation is almost comparable to an Immortal…so, of the Five Stages of Ascension, it is most appropriate for you to first challenge the Dharma Power Stage!"
"The Five Stages of Ascension are: Dharma Power Stage, Divine Soul Stage, Refining Heart Stage, Physical Body Stage, and Transcending Tribulation Stage!"
"These five stages, regardless of the order…passing even one stage allows you to initially shed your mortality and successfully enter the Transcending Tribulation Realm!"
Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this. He was familiar with the 'Five Stages of Ascension'.
These five stages, as long as one passed any of the first four, would allow them to be called a Transcending Tribulation cultivator.
In short, simply passing the Dharma Power Stage allows one to be called a Transcending Tribulation cultivator!
Those who pass the Dharma Power, Divine Soul, Refining Heart, and Physical Body stages are also Transcending Tribulation cultivators!
Strictly speaking, Transcending Tribulation is not a separate realm but a state where one can attract a tribulation and ascend to become an Immortal at any time!
The first four stages only require passing one, and then passing the tribulation allows one to become a Loose Immortal…
But if one wants to achieve the orthodox Immortal Dao, they must pass all five stages!
Su Xing's original plan was to prioritize the Dharma Power Stage or the Refining Heart Stage.
He had natural advantages in these two stages!
With the gift of the Spirit Vein Dragon, Su Xing's Dharma power was far more profound than those of cultivators at the same realm.
During the Transformation God Stage, Su Xing had passed the 'Five Stages of Refining Heart', so passing the Refining Heart Stage wouldn't be a problem either…
As for the Physical Body and Divine Soul stages, Su Xing had been preparing for them as well.
Working hard to improve his divine sense and temper his physical body…
Su Xing recalled the related information about the Transcending Tribulation Realm, but Witch Chromium in front of him said:
"However…the Five Stages of Ascension are not necessarily only five stages!"
Huh?
Su Xing subconsciously looked up, a look of confusion on his face.
The Five Stages of Ascension was a consensus in the cultivation world since ancient times…why would there be more than five?
Witch Chromium explained:
"Beyond the Five Stages of Ascension, there's actually another
"...Beyond the Five Stages of Ascension, there's actually another stage that has always been part of our Luotian Sect's lineage: the Spirit Domain Stage!"
"Spirit Domain Stage?" Su Xing questioned.
Witch Chromium nodded and said:
"Before becoming an Immortal, all mortals comprehend is Origin Power…whether it's the Origin of Strength, the Origin of Speed, the Five Elements Origin, or Space, Time, and so on…none of them touch the realm of the Dao!"
"But after becoming an Immortal, one continuously deepens their comprehension of the Dao. Human, Earth, and Heaven Immortals initially comprehend the rudimentary form of the Dao…True Immortals can initially grasp the Dao, and then onwards, Xuan Immortals, Golden Immortals, and so on…"
"The reason why Immortals are so powerful is not just because of their powerful supernatural powers and Dharma power, their endless lifespans…but also because they integrate their comprehension of the Dao into their domains!"
At this point, Witch Chromium's face held a proud expression.
"And the legacy left by our Luotian Sect's ancestors allows one to initially comprehend the rudimentary form of a Spirit Domain before becoming an Immortal! This is a power that only Immortal Realm cultivators can access!"
"So-called first step ahead, steps ahead…as long as you comprehend the rudimentary form of a Spirit Domain, your control over the Spirit Domain after becoming an Immortal will be ahead of cultivators at the same realm, ensuring your invincibility!"
Speaking of this, Witch Chromium's face showed a trace of reminiscence.
"Our Luotian Sect's ancestor…back then, he cultivated his Spirit Domain to an unparalleled level…his Spirit Domain almost enveloped the entire Luotian Realm!"
"And within the Luotian Realm, our Luotian Sect's ancestor was invincible! Not to mention Da Luo Golden Immortals…even if an ancient Saint came, they would have to show respect!"
Hearing Witch Chromium's words, Su Xing's eyes held a deep sense of doubt…
Da Luo Golden Immortal fighting a Saint? Nonsense!
Indeed, Witch Chromium awkwardly coughed.
"Ahem, perhaps that was a slight exaggeration, but within the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm…our Luotian Sect's ancestor was not afraid of anyone!"
Su Xing believed it after hearing this and asked:
"Master, then how does one pass this Spirit Domain Stage?"
Witch Chromium explained: "Naturally, by integrating one's comprehension of the Dao and Origin Power into the domain…listen carefully as I explain…"
…
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
At this time, Su Xing had a deeper understanding of the Five Stages of Ascension, no, the Six Stages of Ascension…
"Immortality, it's within reach!"
Su Xing clenched his fists, wishing he could ascend on the spot right now.
But looking at his current realm, Su Xing shook his head.
"But before that, I should first break through to the Great Ascension Stage, Perfection!"
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
