Chapter 266: Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Fiends Divine Abilities, The Origin of the Sky Demon Abyss! (Monthly Ticket Burst Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)
Su Xing's heart stirred upon seeing this.
Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities, this was information Su Xing had obtained from the Three Thousand Worlds.
Divine Abilities and magical techniques, from the most basic spells to Minor Divine Abilities, Great Divine Abilities…
Further up, were the Earthly Fiends and Heavenly Gangs Divine Abilities!
Legend had it that within the Three Thousand Worlds, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion ranked all the Divine Abilities mastered by talented individuals.
Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Divine Abilities…
The Heavenly Gangs were ranked before the Earthly Fiends!
This meant that the Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Fiends were finite, and only one hundred and eight could be ranked on the list!
And there was a fundamental standard for judging Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities: transcending realm combat!
A mid-stage Human Immortal Realm cultivator who mastered an Earthly Fiend Divine Ability could even transcend their realm to defeat an early-stage Earth Immortal Realm cultivator!
All possessors of Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities were renowned talented individuals within the Three Thousand Worlds, often originating from Great Thousand Worlds, and even among hundreds of Lesser Thousand Worlds, it was rare to find one…
Of course, the power of Divine Abilities was limited, even Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities.
They might be able to transcend realms in the Human Immortal and Earth Immortal realms, but at the level of True Immortal and Xuan Immortal and beyond… transcending realms might not be achievable.
Unless, one mastered a Heavenly Gang Divine Ability!
"Heavenly Gang Divine Abilities… as long as one masters one, they would be a proper Golden Immortal seed, a being with the prospect of achieving the Dao…"
Su Xing murmured.
"However, eight hundred and eighty Sword Gangs should not yet reach the level of an Earthly Fiend Divine Ability, it should still remain at the peak Great Divine Ability level…"
"However, if the number of Sword Gangs reaches over a thousand, perhaps it could barely reach the level of an Earthly Fiend Divine Ability?"
Thinking of this, Su Xing's eyes lit up.
It should be noted that the upper limit potential of Protective Sword Gangs depended on Su Xing's sword intent and control over his Yuanli…
If Su Xing's comprehension of the Sword Dao was sufficient, the upper limit of the Protective Sword Gangs would also increase!
"Tsk tsk, it seems that the Protective Sword Gangs will at least be an Earthly Fiend level Divine Ability in the future… and it might even reach the Heavenly Gang level!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, feeling a sense of anticipation.
And apart from the Protective Sword Gangs, he also possessed a Divine Ability, "Five Elements Spirit Burst Technique," which also had extremely strong growth potential!
Possessing powerful Divine Abilities was undoubtedly good news. Once Su Xing achieved Immortality, these Divine Abilities would allow him to maintain his advantage of transcending realm combat!
[The power of the Protective Sword Gangs has further increased, you continue to diligently cultivate, never forgetting your initial heart…]
[And so, another three years passed.]
[In the twenty-third year, the number of your Protective Sword Gangs reached nine hundred!]
[And your cultivation has also become extremely close to the late-stage of the Ninth Level of the Great Ascension Period…]
[And so, another two years passed.]
[In the twenty-fifth year, your Qi Refinement cultivation reached the late-stage of the Ninth Level of the Great Ascension Period, and you began to plan for your final breakthrough.]
[You took out all the one million drops of mid-grade Spirit Liquid you had accumulated and began to cultivate in seclusion…]
[This seclusion lasted for a full three years!]
[In the twenty-eighth year, knowing that the Double-Pupil Demon Saint was approaching, you exited your seclusion early.]
[At this time, your cultivation had reached the peak of the Ninth Level of the Great Ascension Period…]
[So, you went to the Demon Suppressing Pass…]
[Sure enough, one month later, the Double-Pupil Demon Saint arrived.]
[You acted according to your plan and prepared to stall for time…]
[In the blink of an eye, five years passed.]
[In the thirty-third year, the number of your Protective Sword Gangs had reached over a thousand!]
[And this, was still not your current upper limit…]
[Taking advantage of the Demon Saint's retreat, you seized the opportunity to break through to the Great Ascension Period's Perfection…]
[You entered the Spirit Field Cave Heaven and began to cultivate in seclusion.]
[Half a year after entering seclusion, your aura reached its peak, and the spiritual energy within your body rapidly increased…]
[Just as you were at the critical point of your breakthrough, the Spirit Vein Dragon, which had received prior hints, erupted with a jet of pure spiritual energy…]
[Without a doubt, you successfully advanced to the Great Ascension Period's Perfection realm!]
[After breaking through to the Great Ascension Period's Perfection, you vaguely felt subtle changes occurring in your body…]
[Cultivating Immortality is essentially a transformation from mortal to immortal, and you have now reached a peak, and further ahead, you will be able to step into the Immortal realm…]
[Your comprehension of the Origin and the Dao became even more acute, as if it was once distant viewing, but now it is closer, allowing you to see more clearly!]
[At this moment, you have two choices before you: continue to stay on Blue Star to resist the possible arrival of God-level alien races in ten years.]
[Or, leave Blue Star and go to the Three Thousand Worlds to train…]
[After some hesitation, you decided to go to the Three Thousand Worlds!]
[You took some necessary supplies and put them into your Storage Ring.]
[At this time, your mastery of the Spatial Origin is sufficient to cover a Storage Ring of fifty cubic meters, allowing you to take most of the valuable items…]
[After making the preparations, you went to the Demon Suppressing Pass and walked towards the direction of the Crimson Moon…]
[After presenting your pass, you arrived at the interspatial channel.]
Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this and said:
"With my current strength, combined with the 'No Moral Bottom Line' talent, I would definitely be able to kill that God-level alien race… but what good would that do? It wouldn't change anything!"
"Even if we temporarily hold the Demon Suppressing Pass… in another twenty or so years, possibly even stronger alien races might arrive…"
"Before I have absolute strength, it's unwise to stubbornly defend…"
"Instead, this simulation opportunity, which can only be used once, can be used in the Three Thousand Worlds, allowing me to simulate for a longer period of time…"
Su Xing reasoned.
"Then next, I need to further comprehend the Spatial Origin!"
Su Xing silently muttered, "Use Immersive Simulation, with a duration of 30 days!"
[Ding…]
As the simulation prompt sounded, Su Xing once again appeared in that strange space.
The surrounding void turbulence swirled around him. Su Xing didn't hesitate, taking Spirit Awakening Pills, activating the Great Enlightenment state buff…
After a series of operations, under the protection of the Protective Sword Gangs, he comprehended the Spatial Origin…
Soon, the Immersive Simulation ended…
Su Xing returned to the real world, a look of regret on his face.
"What a pity, thirty days of comprehension… equivalent to ten years of hard cultivation, but there's still a considerable gap to reach perfection…"
Su Xing estimated that he would probably need another ten years before his comprehension of the Spatial Origin could reach the perfection level.
"However… the current Spatial Origin should be sufficient to cover a Storage Ring of over a hundred cubic meters, which is enough for now!"
Su Xing nodded slightly. Although he hadn't been able to break through to perfection in one go, his Origin power had still grown significantly.
Now, if Su Xing moved his mind, he could instantly reach a radius of dozens of miles.
Of course, each teleportation, using the Spatial Origin, would consume the Spatial Origin within his body. In a short period of time, Su Xing could only use it no more than three times.
"Tsk tsk, involving space and time… these are things only immortals can touch! I've grasped them ahead of time, which is not bad!"
Su Xing was quite satisfied with this.
"The Way of Space, its upper limit is extremely high… life is long, let's comprehend it slowly…"
Su Xing's gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[When you came to your senses, you had already arrived in the northern part of the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[At this time, you were almost unscathed, but it was still difficult to ensure consciousness during the crossing.]
[You estimated that it was because your Divine Sense strength was not enough to traverse worlds. If your Divine Sense were stronger and your understanding of the Way of Space were deeper, perhaps you would be able to arrive consciously in the future…]
[After confirming the direction, you prepared to go to the White Emperor City.]
[In the thirty-fifth year, you lived in White Emperor City for over a year.]
[At this time, White Emperor City was relatively peaceful, and the alien invasion had not yet reached here.]
[But you didn't dare to become complacent. You could feel the undercurrents of unrest beneath the surface of peace…]
[In the past few years, the number of Demon Kings in the Ten Thousand Mountains has gradually decreased, and the actions of the Descending Sect have become increasingly frequent.]
[If you hadn't paid special attention to this aspect of the information, ordinary cultivators would not have noticed at all…]
[Like boiling a frog slowly, the alien races and the Descending Sect gradually deepened their invasion of the Lesser Qingyun World. When the cultivators realized it, it would be too late…]
[In the thirty-eighth year, the number of your Protective Sword Gangs further increased, reaching one thousand and sixty-three!]
[You are confident that, coupled with the 'No Moral Bottom Line' talent, even a mid-stage Human Immortal Realm cultivator would find it difficult to withstand your sword… even a late-stage Human Immortal Realm cultivator would need to temporarily avoid the edge of your blade!]
[This year, you made a decision to reveal the plans of the Descending Sect and the alien races to the human race in advance…]
[And the method of revealing it, was to trade with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!]
[With this intention, you stepped into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion branch in White Emperor City…]
In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.
"Revealing the information about the alien races and the Descending Sect in advance, wouldn't that endanger myself?"
Su Xing frowned slightly, but after careful consideration, perhaps in the future simulations, he had already investigated clearly, and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was a relatively trustworthy force.
"Whatever, it's just a simulation… let's see what happens if I reveal the information about the alien races and the Descending Sect to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in advance?"
Su Xing thought to himself and silently muttered, "Use Immersive Simulation, lasting 24 hours…"
[Ding…]
As the prompt sounded, Su Xing appeared in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion shop.
"This Daoist friend seems a bit unfamiliar. Are you here to buy information?"
The girl lazily leaned on the table, yawning listlessly.
Su Xing raised his eyebrows upon seeing this and leaned closer, asking in a low voice:
"Do you, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, buy information?"
The girl nodded naturally after hearing this, "Of course, with so much information in the world… naturally, we would purchase it!"
"However… the specific value of your information depends on my assessment…"
Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this. The income from selling information was secondary.
The main reason was that he wanted to see what changes would occur in the future if he revealed the information in advance?
The girl then asked, "Daoist friend, what kind of information are you selling?"
Su Xing said in a deep voice, "It's about the Descending Sect… and the alien races!"
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, the girl's expression became slightly serious. She waved her hand, setting up a barrier and said:
"Tell me the details of the information… it concerns alien races and the Descending Sect. If the information is true, your reward will not be small!"
Su Xing gathered his thoughts and revealed the first piece of information.
"Several Aeons ago, the alien races invaded the Luo Tian World… after this battle, the Luo Tian World was destroyed, but the alien races also suffered heavy losses!"
"Among them, an evil god codenamed Crimson Moon died in battle, and their strength should be at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
The girl looked at Su Xing in surprise after hearing this, and frowned slightly.
She had known about these secrets from several Aeons ago for a long time, so naturally, it didn't count as important information.
"That's it? If that's all the information you have… please leave, we at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion already know about it!"
The girl said lazily.
Su Xing naturally knew that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion knew, after all, the information he had was bought from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
But Su Xing didn't leave, instead, he said something shocking:
"According to reliable sources, the evil god Crimson Moon is preparing to resurrect!"
"It will be ten years at the fastest, or twenty or thirty years at the slowest before Crimson Moon resurrects!"
"At that time, they will join the invasion of the Three Thousand Worlds… and the Lesser Qingyun World will be their primary target!"
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, the girl's brows furrowed, and she stood up abruptly, repeatedly confirming:
"Are you sure this information is true? We haven't received any news that Crimson Moon will be resurrected!"
Su Xing was very certain, "The information is one hundred percent true, I swear by my Dao cultivation!"
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, the girl's face twitched a few times.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had its own methods of discerning people. Seeing Su Xing so certain, she believed him to be nine out of ten.
"This matter is of great importance, we need to investigate thoroughly, verify from multiple sources… we cannot confirm its authenticity for now."
"However, I can give you ten million Spirit Stones as a reward for this information. As for the rest, we will decide after verifying the information!"
Su Xing was slightly surprised to hear this, he didn't expect that a mere piece of information would be worth so much.
Seeing that the girl wanted to urge Su Xing to leave and contact someone.
But Su Xing didn't move, instead, he continued, "Wait! I haven't finished yet, I have other information…"
"I know the location of a branch of the Descending Sect, it's in a valley in the southern part of the Ten Thousand Mountains… this valley is filled with a large number of Heretical Cultivators, and they are quite powerful!"
"Among them, there should be a Blood Character assassin with a code number around twenty who is stationed there permanently… and there are also several Blood Character assassins with code numbers between fifty and one hundred in this valley…"
Su Xing told the girl the detailed address of the valley.
The girl nodded slightly after hearing this, but felt a bit troubled.
Within the Descending Sect, Blood Character assassins with code numbers around twenty had strength between Heaven Immortal and True Immortal, and such strength was already extremely difficult to deal with. Perhaps it would require mobilizing various righteous sects to deal with them.
"I understand. Do you have any other information? I'll settle with you all at once…"
Su Xing nodded slightly and continued to sell information:
"There's also something about the Ten Thousand Mountains… currently, there's a lot of internal strife within the Ten Thousand Mountains, and it's actually the Descending Sect behind the scenes stirring things up… within ten years, there might be one or two Heaven Immortal Realm Demon Cultivators who die in battle…"
"Once the Ten Thousand Mountains are severely depleted, the invasion of the alien races and the Descending Sect will become even more ferocious!"
"The accuracy of this information is over ninety percent… how much the Descending Sect is involved is still unknown…"
After hearing Su Xing's words, the girl pondered for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, these three pieces of information, the total value is two hundred and fifty thousand high-grade Spirit Stones… is that alright?"
Su Xing was also taken aback after hearing this price. Two hundred and fifty thousand high-grade Spirit Stones, even ordinary Transcending Tribulation cultivators would find it difficult to come up with.
"Is selling information so profitable?"
Su Xing muttered to himself, then shook his head slightly, "I don't want Spirit Stones… I want to exchange for other information!"
The girl wasn't surprised to hear this, so she asked, "Then what information do you want to exchange for?"
Su Xing then said, "I want to exchange for information about the leader of the Sky Demon Prison, the Sky Demon General!"
The girl raised her eyebrows after hearing this, becoming even more curious about Su Xing's identity, but still said, "The Sky Demon General is a Great Luo Golden Immortal. With those Spirit Stones, you can at most exchange for C-grade information. Are you sure you still want to exchange?"
Su Xing frowned slightly after hearing this. C-grade information involved very little secrecy. If he exchanged it, it wouldn't be that helpful to him…
Just as Su Xing was hesitating, he suddenly thought of something and added, "By the way, I also have a piece of information about Qingyunzi."
"Listen to see how valuable it is… Qingyunzi is currently at a critical juncture of achieving Sainthood by Severing the Three Corpses, but he didn't sever the Evil Corpse first, instead, he severed the Self Corpse or the Benevolent Corpse… the collapse of the Three Immortal Peaks of the Qingyun Sect is related to this…"
"Twenty years after Qingyunzi exits seclusion, his strength will surpass that of ordinary Great Luo, reaching the level of a Half-Saint…"
Su Xing revealed this information as completely as possible.
At this time, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion might not have received definite news yet, so Su Xing selling this information should be worth a lot.
Sure enough, upon hearing Su Xing's words, the girl's expression changed slightly. It concerned the leader of a top-tier force in the Three Thousand Worlds, so naturally, she had to take it seriously.
Moreover, the information Su Xing provided was very similar to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's guess, but it was more accurate…
So the girl nodded, "This information is valuable, and its feasibility is very high…"
"If we combine several pieces of information, I can give you a piece of B-grade information about the Sky Demon General, which includes some secrets that are only found in A-grade information!"
"Of course, if you don't want to exchange… I can give you five hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones! You choose?"
Su Xing didn't hesitate after hearing this and directly said, "I choose information!"
The girl nodded and rummaged under the table before taking out a jade slip and handing it to Su Xing.
Su Xing skillfully took the jade slip and began to read the information.
After a long time, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a strange look in them.
"So, there's actually this kind of relationship… the Sky Demon General?"
Su Xing bowed to the girl and then left.
After Su Xing left, countless illusory figures appeared behind the girl, constantly transforming, and their speed of change was so fast that it was like intercepting time…
(Specifically imagine the scene of Strange Doctor casting spells fourteen million times…)
After a long time, the girl muttered to herself, "This person is so familiar with Luo Tian, could he be the inheritor of Luo Tian's legacy…"
"No, but why does he also know about Qingyunzi, could he be a disciple of the Qingyun Sect?"
"The person the Descending Sect investigated a few years ago… could it be him?"
"The news about the Sky Demon General… why is he so interested?"
…
The Immersive Simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
Recalling the information in his mind, Su Xing took a deep breath.
"No wonder the Sky Demon Prison and the Qingyun Sect are at odds… so there's this kind of origin!"
"The leader of the Sky Demon Prison, the Sky Demon General, is a powerful cultivator who has lived for over ten Aeons… he has fought countless battles throughout his life, rarely suffering defeat, but he was uniquely defeated by the ancestor of the Luo Tian World…"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing murmured, "They also formed a bond through battle, and the two of them seemed to have had a period of friendship…"
"When the Luo Tian World was invaded, the leader of the Sky Demon Prison, the Sky Demon General, wanted to send reinforcements… but he was stopped by Yunhe Immortal, one of the three ancestors of the Qingyun Sect!"
"The reinforcements arrived too late, ultimately leading to the destruction of Luo Tian. The Sky Demon General was furious and turned hostile towards the Qingyun Sect…"
(There will be another large chapter at noon, a small burst update, seeking monthly tickets~)
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 267: Another Demigod Slain, Bloodbath at Demon City! (7k chapter, please vote for monthly ticket~)
This was the intel Su Xing obtained from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
The Demon Prison and Qingyun Sect were not on good terms. Their connection seemed to be related to Luo Tian?
"However, the exact relationship between the Demon General and Luo Tian… is still unknown!"
Besides this, Su Xing also obtained other information about the Demon General.
For example, the Demon General was a Da Luo Jinxian, his headquarters was located in the Chaos Domain, and he had been fighting against the alien races for years…
In this small Qingyun World, only a Demon General's avatar remained, with at most the power of a Jinxian.
The most crucial intel was that the Demon General was a dual cultivator of Qi and Body!
His body cultivation was even higher than his Qi cultivation!
He allegedly obtained an ancient body cultivation secret technique… possessed ancient bloodline…
"It's a pity that the Demon Prison's headquarters is too far away from the small Qingyun World… It is separated by hundreds of small thousand worlds. With my current cultivation, it's impossible to reach it…"
Su Xing closed his eyes slightly and carefully summarized the information he had obtained.
"In short, the Demon Prison has been fighting against the alien races for years… They are definitely not human traitors. Perhaps they are the first choice for me to join!"
"If I want to hone my cultivation on the battlefield, this would be a good place… However, the front lines are fraught with danger. There is a risk of premature death…"
Su Xing summarized the pros and cons. There are losses, there are gains.
Joining the Demon Prison should temporarily alleviate the threat from Qingyun Sect and the Descending Church.
However, facing the powerful alien races on the front lines, Su Xing currently lacked the means to protect himself.
"Sigh, whatever… I'll simulate it first. What impact will this intel leak have?"
Su Xing thought so, his eyes fixed on the simulation panel.
[After leaving the White Emperor Pavilion branch, you return to your cave dwelling.]
[After careful consideration, you decide to go to Demon City.]
[Because the frontlines are still relatively stable, if you join now, with your cultivation and skills, you might even get a position as a military officer.]
[Although there are some dangers on the front lines, it would be beneficial for honing your swordsmanship and body-protecting sword qi cultivation.]
[Having made up your mind, you set off immediately…]
[You travel by airship and arrive at Demon City after several months.]
[Year 39, your first year joining Demon City.]
[This year, the war between the alien races and the small Qingyun World continues to be fierce, with both sides fighting back and forth.]
[The small Qingyun World side even has the upper hand!]
[In Demon City, there are a large number of cultivators, three times more than White Emperor City.]
[The cultivators who come and go are all highly cultivated. It is rare to see cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage going to the front lines…]
[But Demon City is located in the far north, where the spiritual energy is relatively thin, and the commercial trade is not developed.]
[However, it also has advantages. That is, the major powers of the small Qingyun World and even the Three Thousand Worlds will provide strategic materials to Demon City.]
[On the front lines, the blood essence of saint-level alien races is often seen, and even the blood essence of god-level alien races can sometimes be obtained…]
[Because of this, this is a paradise for body cultivators!]
[Many cultivators with strong bodies will participate in the war on the front lines, obtaining blood essence to strengthen their cultivation…]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly as he read.
"The small Qingyun World is a small thousand world… It's hundreds of times larger than Earth, and its population is also dozens of times more than Earth!"
"The number and quality of strong cultivators in the small Qingyun World are also countless times higher than Earth…"
Su Xing stroked his chin, feeling that there might be room for manipulation in the large number of body cultivators in Demon City.
"The Rebirth Pill is a highly effective pill for body cultivators… Ordinary body cultivators can increase their cultivation by taking two or three Rebirth Pills a month…"
"My physical strength is strong, and I follow the ancient Great Witch Path. My strength surpasses cultivators of the same level by several times, but the resources I need are also ten or even dozens of times more…"
Su Xing pursued the ultimate path, striving to lay a solid foundation for the Dao.
Which talented cultivator doesn't require several times, or even more, resources than ordinary cultivators?
What Su Xing lacked was not resources, but simulation energy and time. Naturally, pursuing perfection was the best…
"If I show off my talent as an alchemist and provide them with regular Rebirth Pills, perhaps I can get the title of Rear Logistics General?"
Thinking about it, Su Xing felt a little excited.
Occasionally refine some pills, cultivate sword qi every day…
If he feels like it, go to the front lines to kill enemies and hone his sword qi, wouldn't that be great?
Su Xing planned this way, his eyes fixed on the simulation panel.
[After understanding the situation in Demon City, you go to the front line army to enlist.]
[With your superb skills, you successfully get a position as a small captain in the army supply department, leading several Nascent Soul stage alchemists.]
[At this time, the war on the front lines is slightly better. You refine various pills that restore spiritual energy and injuries every day, and occasionally you also refine Rebirth Pills.]
[You spend three hours a day refining pills, accumulating thousands of Rebirth Pills in a year.]
[Year 40, your body-protecting sword qi reaches 1088 strands.]
[During this period, you are in a good mood. After completing your alchemy tasks, you go to the front lines and kill several saint-level alien races, accumulating military merit and becoming a centurion in the supply department, leading over a hundred Nascent Soul and Unity stage cultivators.]
[After becoming a centurion, you have more free time. You only need to supervise your subordinates to complete their tasks on time, and you have your own residence and beautiful concubines.]
[Five more years pass like this.]
[Year 45, the number of body-protecting sword qi reaches 1130 strands.]
[The fighting on the front lines has slightly improved your swordsmanship, and your body-protecting sword qi has also progressed faster.]
[This year, you are promoted to a five-hundred-man captain based on your military merit, leading hundreds of cultivators.]
[In the same year, you deliberately reveal your Rebirth Pill refining skills.]
[A commander on the front lines, knowing about this pill, hopes to purchase the pill formula on behalf of Demon City.]
[You naturally sell the formula, hoping to strengthen the overall strength of the small Qingyun World.]
[You receive a substantial reward, including a fairy treasure prototype, millions of spirit stones…]
[At the same time, there is good news. You are promoted again!]
[You are promoted from a five-hundred-man captain to a thousand-man captain, leading thousands of cultivators.]
[At the level of a thousand-man captain, only powerful Tribulation Transcendence cultivators can hold the position. You are promoted from a five-man captain to a thousand-man captain in just two years, which is extremely rare.]
[But you are not satisfied with this!]
[Because you know that only by obtaining a higher position can you have a voice… and can change the future direction to some extent.]
[The refining of the Rebirth Pill is not easy. Especially some seventh and eighth-rank alchemists, their pill quality and quantity are far inferior to yours.]
[You spend four hours a day refining pills, and you can refine seven or eight furnaces of Rebirth Pills. The pills are all seventh and eighth-rank, and sometimes even high-quality pills are produced.]
[Ordinary seventh-rank alchemists have a low success rate in refining seventh-rank Rebirth Pills, and they can only refine one or two furnaces a day, which is far behind yours.]
[With this alchemy skill, you gain the attention of a Heavenly Immortal stage commander, who promotes you many times.]
[In just a few years, you become a hot candidate for the ten-thousand-man captain!]
[A ten-thousand-man captain in Demon City requires Heavenly Immortal stage strength to hold the position.]
[Occasionally, there are Tribulation Transcendence cultivators with unique abilities who hold this position.]
[In these years, you occasionally go out to hone your swordsmanship, cultivate your body-protecting sword qi, and kill two or three demigod-level alien races.]
[This further increases your prestige in the army!]
[Year 50, this year, your body-protecting sword qi reaches 1180 strands!]
[Constant comprehension and occasional actual combat allow you to guarantee a growth rate of nearly ten strands of sword qi per year.]
[This year, you are promoted to a ten-thousand-man captain, in charge of the military supply department, with many alchemists and talisman masters under you, providing a fixed amount of strategic materials to the front lines every month.]
[Over the years, with the increasing invasion of the alien races, the situation on the front lines has become increasingly dire.]
[Fortunately, Demon City seems to have received news beforehand and received assistance from a group of cultivators above the Heavenly Immortal stage.]
[This ensures that there are one or two Heavenly Immortal stage cultivators guarding even the rear logistics and military supply department.]
[You guess that perhaps the information you sold to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion played a role.]
[Because you have been inquiring about information these years, and you have heard a piece of news.]
[Loose cultivators gathered in White Emperor City, led by a Heavenly Immortal stage cultivator, launched a surprise attack on the Descending Church's valley.]
[They not only disrupted the Blood Sprout Grand Competition, but also killed several Descending Church executives with blood-lettered codes on the spot!]
[Blood 99 was among them!]
In the real world, Su Xing couldn't help but smile slightly as he read this.
"Tsk tsk, old 99! You've killed me so many times… Now it's your turn to suffer!"
Su Xing's lips curled up. Blood 99's strength was close to the Heavenly Immortal stage, and Su Xing was not his opponent for now.
But this didn't stop Su Xing from being a dirty trickster. He couldn't beat him, but as long as he leaked some information, the righteous cultivators would naturally go after the demonic cultivators.
Of course, don't think that the righteous cultivators are good samaritans when they go after the demonic cultivators. They naturally have something to gain from it.
In the Three Thousand Worlds, as long as they don't act wickedly, kill or plunder at will, they are considered righteous cultivators. Expecting them to punish evil and promote good is unrealistic.
Ordinary cultivators, if they plunder other cultivators and become bandit cultivators, they will be classified as demonic cultivators, and the only place waiting for them is the Descending Church and other extreme organizations.
But if ordinary cultivators plunder demonic cultivators, they can not only take all their wealth, but also gain a good reputation!
You see, demonic cultivators who often plunder are much richer than ordinary cultivators!
Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered:
"Tsk tsk, if I have time in the future, maybe I can go to the Descending Church valley again and record the locations of all those Descending Church gathering places… and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
The real strong ones in the Descending Church are the blood-lettered code strong cultivators ranked in the top twenty, or even the top ten. They are terrifyingly powerful and have cultivated for tens of thousands of years.
But these strong cultivators often travel between the Three Thousand Worlds and are not guarding the small Qingyun World.
Leaving those executives with codes ranked after twenty or even fifty, the forces of the small Qingyun World might not be able to wipe them out…
Su Xing pondered for a moment, his eyes fixed on the simulation panel.
[Besides the Descending Church news, you also find that the consumption in the Ten Thousand Mountains has slowed down a lot. Although there are wars between the demon kings, they rarely fight to the death.]
[The thirty-six demon kings of the past now only have twenty or so left, and the demon cultivator forces are not to be underestimated.]
[At the same time, you also find that demon cultivators are also participating in the war on the front lines, jointly fighting against the alien races.]
[They are often more ferocious than human cultivators. After killing alien races, they directly take out their hearts, lungs, blood essence, and eat them raw, claiming that it is highly nutritious.]
[Fortunately, the demon cultivator troops are far away from ordinary cultivators, and you don't encounter them, so it's fine.]
[The brutal life of fighting on the front lines has been turned into a retirement life for you in these ten years.]
[You spend six hours a day completing your alchemy tasks, and the rest of the time is yours to do as you please.]
[But this leisurely life did not last long…]
[Year 58, this year, red-eyed alien races begin to appear on the front lines.]
[The red-eyed alien races are fearless of death and their strength is not to be underestimated. They cause great losses to the small Qingyun World's cultivators.]
[Fortunately, Demon City seems to have been prepared, and they send troops to reinforce in advance, preventing further losses.]
[But even so, these sudden red-eyed alien races have resulted in the deaths of several Heavenly Immortal stage cultivators, and over ten Heavenly Immortal stage cultivators are missing…]
[You watch this silently. With your current strength, you are powerless.]
[The good news is that your comprehension of sword qi has further improved. This year, the number of body-protecting sword qi you have mastered reaches 1250 strands!]
[But the rapid deterioration of the situation on the front lines forces you to cultivate harder and spend more time refining pills…]
In the real world, Su Xing sighed as he read this.
"Sigh, Red Moon's resurrection can't be stopped!"
"These red-eyed alien races are coming, and the small Qingyun World alone will definitely not be able to stop them…"
"But knowing about the alien races' major invasion in advance, we can prepare more and delay them for a longer time…"
Su Xing took this lightly.
The alien races are deeply rooted and have been invading the Three Thousand Worlds for several eons. It's impossible to repel them in one fell swoop.
Unless Su Xing has absolute strength to suppress them…
So what Su Xing needs to do now is to improve his strength and cultivation as much as possible and extend the simulation time.
When Su Xing rises completely, he will face the alien races head-on…
His eyes returned to the simulation panel.
[In the brutal fighting on the front lines, seven more years pass.]
[Year 65, the situation on the front lines is getting worse, and bad news comes one after another.]
[The first bad news is that the number of red-eyed alien races is endless. After ten years of war, millions of cultivators have died, and the number of red-eyed alien races killed is several times that of humans.]
[But even so, those endless red-eyed alien races are still active on the battlefield. The Demon City cultivators are gradually losing ground…]
[The second bad news is that the Qingyun Sect announces its withdrawal from the small Qingyun World. Qingyun City is disbanded overnight, which weakens the strength of the small Qingyun World.]
[Not only has the number of cultivators decreased, but it has also dealt a heavy blow to morale…]
[Year 66, you finish a day of cultivation, a smile can't help but spread across your lips.]
[This year, the number of your body-protecting sword qi reaches 1300 strands!]
[You are very sure that your body-protecting sword qi has completely entered the Earthly Fiend Divine Ability level!]
[With these 1300 strands of body-protecting sword qi, you dare to fight even Heavenly Immortal stage cultivators!]
Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief as he read this.
"Whew… 1300 strands of body-protecting sword qi, Earthly Fiend Divine Ability, finally achieved!"
The two major goals of this simulation have been achieved. Next, it's time to consider the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
"Six Tribulation Transcendence stages. I am most confident in the Essence Power stage and the Divine Consciousness stage…"
"The Essence Power stage requires transforming all your spiritual energy into immortal energy, which requires a lot of resources… It's best to have a Spirit Vein Dragon to help you achieve this!"
"With the resources I have now, it might not be possible…"
"But I'm also very confident about the Divine Soul stage. Eight thousand miles of divine consciousness, I just need to take another step into the Six Senses Realm, and passing the Divine Soul stage is a sure thing!"
Su Xing stroked his chin and pondered.
The goals of this simulation have basically been achieved.
And it's probably nearing the end of the simulation. The next thing to do is to improve the power of the body-protecting sword qi as much as possible!
His eyes fixed on the simulation panel.
[The situation on the front lines continues to be tense. You feel like you're back to the time when you were on Earth.]
[The familiar faces around you gradually disappear before your eyes. The number of cultivators on the front lines is dwindling.]
[Demon City begins to forcibly conscript soldiers from the small Qingyun World. Any cultivator with some strength is dragged to the front lines…]
[Fortunately, you are a ten-thousand-man captain, one of the most valued cultivators by the Heavenly Immortal stage commander, and you are also in the rear logistics and military supply department, so it's not dangerous.]
[But every few days, there are god-level or demigod-level alien races who come to sneak attack the rear of the army. They are all blocked by Heavenly Immortal stage cultivators.]
[Seven more years pass like this.]
[Year 73, the number of your body-protecting sword qi reaches 1360 strands.]
[In the same year, a mid-level god-power alien race, accompanied by several alien races, sneak attacks the rear of the army.]
[Fortunately, the Heavenly Immortal stage commander arrives in time to prevent losses.]
[In this battle, you unleash your strongest sword, combined with your unscrupulous talent… 1360 strands of sword qi are unleashed, and a demigod-level alien race close to the mid-Heavenly Immortal stage is killed by you in one blow!]
[On that day, sword light crisscrosses the heavens, sword qi pierces through the alien race's head, like a fleeting glimpse of brilliance turning into a sea of clouds…]
[After this battle, you become famous overnight!]
[With Tribulation Transcendence cultivation (what others think), you have the terrifying strength comparable to a mid-Heavenly Immortal stage cultivator!]
[Even the Heavenly Immortal stage commander admires you greatly, and even the Heavenly Immortal stage general is shocked…]
[But the general also says it's a pity, saying that if you had been born tens of thousands of years earlier, there might have been another Heavenly Immortal stage sword immortal in the world!]
[You remain silent, knowing that the situation is getting more and more tense, and you cultivate your body-protecting sword qi even harder.]
[Seven more years pass like this.]
[Year 80, the number of body-protecting sword qi you have mastered reaches 1400 strands!]
[At this time, you are confident that if you unleash all your sword qi, you have a chance to severely injure, or even kill, an early-Heavenly Immortal stage cultivator.]
[One day, you are cultivating your sword qi as usual.]
[Suddenly, there are cries for help from the camp. When you open your eyes again, you see countless red-eyed alien races, who have somehow bypassed the rear of the army…]
[Several mid-level god-power alien races are among them!]
[And the only high-end combat power you have is a Heavenly Immortal stage commander, several Heavenly Immortal stage ten-thousand-man captains…]
[This battle is undoubtedly lost, and it's a crushing defeat!]
[In this battle, you still perform brilliantly. You single-handedly hold back a low-level god-power alien race and severely injure it.]
[But the Heavenly Immortal stage commander dies in battle. Under the siege of the other alien races, you hold on until the very end, without retreating.]
[The soldiers have no intention of surviving, and the soldiers are determined to die!]
[The result of this battle is that everyone, from the Heavenly Immortal stage commander, several Heavenly Immortal stage ten-thousand-man captains, including you, dies… and tens of thousands of cultivators are devoured by the alien races…]
[You died!]
[Ding, this simulation is over!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing's expression was somewhat complicated.
"Sigh, they say that those who don't become immortals are all ants… But even if you become an immortal, Heavenly Immortal and Earth Immortal stages still can't change anything…"
"Heavenly Immortal stage cultivators also die in battle… Just like the future Demon Suppressing Pass…"
Su Xing admired these strong cultivators.
Not admiration for their cultivation, but admiration for their character and personality.
Whether it was this Heavenly Immortal stage commander who admired Su Xing and fought against alien demigods to his death…
Or Lu Yuanwu who said "The Xia Dynasty's mountains and rivers are safe and sound, how can we lack those who are willing to die for their country", they all had strong hearts and were worthy of respect.
"However, this simulation lasted eighty years… Both my body-protecting sword qi and Qi cultivation have reached expectations…"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. Spending the simulation time on improving his body-protecting sword qi would significantly increase his strength ceiling.
"Let's see the rewards of this simulation…"
His eyes fixed on the reward list.
[Star Calculation Master]:Purple talent, price 1 million energy points.
[Eighty Years of Alchemy Experience]:After exchange, your current alchemy comprehension will slightly increase, price 80 million energy.
[Mahayana Stage Perfection]:Mahayana stage perfect cultivator, comprehends the power of the source, seeks Dao essence, essence power resonates with heaven and earth, the sea of spiritual energy is endless, ready to enter the Immortal Transformation stage and step into the Tribulation Transcendence stage… Price 4 billion energy.
[Body-Protecting Sword Qi (1400 strands)]:Based on body-protecting sword qi, with essence power and sword intent as the core, attack and defense in one, the power increases with the growth of swordsmanship comprehension, has reached the Earthly Fiend Divine Ability level, learning it can allow you to fight against Immortal stage cultivators across levels, currently 1400 strands of body-protecting sword qi. Price 3 billion energy.
In this simulation, Su Xing had a clear goal. The most valuable things to take out were his cultivation and body-protecting sword qi.
So Su Xing silently said:
"I choose to take out the Mahayana stage perfect cultivation and the body-protecting sword qi!"
[Ding, you have successfully taken out the Mahayana stage perfect cultivation, spending 4 billion energy points, remaining energy 9,140,560,000 points.]
[Ding, you have successfully taken out the body-protecting sword qi (1400 strands), spending 3 billion energy, remaining energy 6,140,560,000 points…]
As the simulation prompt sounded, two streams of mysterious energy surged into Su Xing's body.
The next second, Su Xing's cultivation began to rise.
Mahayana stage eighth level… Mahayana stage ninth level!
Mahayana stage perfection!
In just a moment, Su Xing's cultivation realm crossed two minor levels and reached Mahayana stage perfection!
At this moment, the capacity of Su Xing's sea of spiritual energy rapidly expanded, increasing by more than 30%!
The richness of Su Xing's spiritual energy had already surpassed that of a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator who had passed the Essence Power stage.
Of course, this was only a quantitative surpassing, but the quality was much worse…
After all, Su Xing was currently using spiritual energy, while after passing the Essence Power stage, he would be able to use immortal energy!
The gap between the two was not just a little!
Besides the surge in cultivation, Su Xing also felt the sword intent in his body surging.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Su Xing moved his mind, and 1400 strands of body-protecting sword qi appeared around his body!
Attack and defense in one!
In terms of defense, 1400 strands of body-protecting sword qi were simply impenetrable by Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators. Only Immortal stage cultivators could cause damage with continuous attacks.
And in terms of attack, 1400 strands of body-protecting sword qi unleashed together would make even a mid-Heavenly Immortal stage cultivator retreat!
"Whew… Now, even without relying on the unscrupulous talent, I can be considered to have Immortal stage combat power!"
"Earthly Fiend Divine Ability… truly worthy of its name!"
After adapting to the increase in strength, Su Xing glanced at the time.
Old Lu was probably waiting for him.
So Su Xing changed his appearance and concealed his aura, going to meet Old Lu for the transaction.
Another 4 billion simulation energy points in hand, Su Xing flew towards the Immortal Martial Era副本.
For the next week, Su Xing spent all his time in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
In a week, Su Xing completed the unfinished mining puppet and made a new one.
Thus, the number of mining puppets Su Xing currently owned reached four!
From then on, every week, these four mining puppets would provide Su Xing with nearly 2 billion simulation energy points!
"Whew… Finally completed!"
Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction, he murmured:
"But one fourth-order alien metal ore vein, 2000 cubic meters of alien metal ore, is dug up in about a week…"
"I need to add an automatic ore-seeking function and record the locations of the remaining hundreds of ore veins…"
In the Immortal Martial Era副本, the number of alien metal ore veins was not infinite.
The third and fourth-order ore veins could provide Su Xing with a lot of energy, about a hundred of them.
If twenty mining puppets were digging together, they would be dug up in half a year.
By then, Su Xing would need to transfer them to the Spirit Beast World副本 or find other副本…
"But, over a hundred ore veins, providing one or two hundred billion energy points, is enough!"
Su Xing muttered.
He glanced at the time. It was almost time to meet Jin Congxue.
So Su Xing packed up and returned to Earth to find Jin Congxue in the villa area.
Jin Congxue was wearing a white floral dress today, looking somewhat playful.
They sat across from each other, chatting about work while enjoying the delicious food.
"Well, by the way… The market in the United States is also slowly opening up… The first batch of Abyss Stones has arrived this week, but the quantity is not large, only ten thousand…"
Jin Congxue handed Su Xing a storage ring, which contained the alien metal refined last week, various goods, and ten thousand ordinary Abyss Stones.
Because the amount of alien metal ore last week was not much, the energy output of the Tarot Society this week was less than 1 billion.
But Su Xing knew that the low point was only temporary, and the energy he would gain in the future would increase.
So Su Xing encouraged her:
"The organization knows about your contribution… Xuejie, do you have any requests?"
Jin Congxue was stunned when she heard Su Xing's words, and she asked in confusion: "Can I make requests?"
Su Xing nodded: "What do you want? More advanced equipment… or those powerful talismans from last time? We can satisfy you!"
Jin Congxue's face immediately turned serious when she heard Su Xing's words.
"Humph! Who wants those things?"
"This young lady is also a Heavenly King level strong cultivator. Can't I protect myself?"
For some reason, Jin Congxue was throwing a tantrum. Seeing this, Su Xing quickly slipped away…
After Su Xing left, Jin Congxue muttered:
"Humph! What a straight man! He doesn't understand a girl's heart at all…"
…
On the other side, after Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, he began to prepare for the next simulation plan.
"My cultivation has reached Mahayana stage perfection. The next step is to enter the Tribulation Transcendence stage!"
After careful consideration, Su Xing decided to pass the Heart Tempering stage first.
Su Xing was most confident in the Heart Tempering stage!
Although he was also confident in the Essence Power stage, if he could gather more resources, his essence power after breaking through to the Immortal stage might increase further!
So it was not urgent…
After setting his goal, Su Xing glanced at the time. The simulation cooldown had just ended, so Su Xing silently said:
"Start simulation!"
On May 19, 2025, the New Era, Su Xing was ready to start a new round of simulation.
[Ding! This simulation will consume 8,800 energy points, remaining energy 11,260,560,000 points, remaining simulation times unlimited.]
[Simulation starting!]
[Drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points, drawing a golden legendary talent costs 1 million energy points, do you want to draw?]
"I didn't draw a golden talent twice in a row. This time, it's time for me to get a golden one, right?"
Su Xing muttered, then decisively said: "Draw a golden talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the golden talent Seven-Hole Exquisite Heart. The next time you draw a golden talent, the probability is 50%…]
