Chapter 300: Three Thousand Sword Qi, Capable of Slaying Celestial Realm! [9k]
Su Xing glanced at the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique, nodding slightly.
"Indeed, as I expected, the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique is a supreme secret art, and its direct exchange price is quite exorbitant..."
"However, memorizing it myself saves me a considerable amount of simulation energy."
Without hesitation, Su Xing spoke directly.
"I choose to bring out the Dragon Vein Detection talent, and the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, Small Accomplishment!"
As the words fell, a prompt echoed in his ears.
[You have successfully brought out the Dragon Vein Detection talent, costing 10 units of energy origin, remaining energy origin is 131,162 units...]
[You have successfully brought out the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two (Small Accomplishment), costing 60,000 units of energy origin, remaining energy origin is 71,162 units...]
With the simulation prompts, two mysterious energies surged into Su Xing's body.
The next second, Su Xing felt his aura and physical strength skyrocket!
Ten Mountain River Force... Fifteen Mountain River Force... Twenty Mountain River Force!
Ultimately, Su Xing's physical strength reached twenty-five Mountain River Force!
The Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, from entry to small accomplishment, had doubled Su Xing's physical strength, and more!
At the same time, the Primordial Energy Flower within Su Xing's body also underwent a significant change, transforming into a bud-like form, as if about to fully bloom.
With the transformation of the Primordial Energy Flower, the quality of Su Xing's Primordial Energy further improved!
Originally, the Primordial Energy's enhancement to his strength was about threefold, but now it had increased to around fourfold!
Coupled with Su Xing's pure physical strength, a single punch from him could now exert over a hundred Mountain River Force!
After a moment, Su Xing adapted to the surging power within his body, feeling a touch of disbelief.
"Now, if I were to unleash a full-powered strike with Primordial Energy... it should be enough to shake the continental plates, right?"
Su Xing's heart surged with excitement.
Over a hundred Mountain River Force, mid-stage Earth Immortal Realm physically – this had transcended the comprehension of professional practitioners!
With such might, a single punch could likely cause earthquakes within a radius of several thousand miles!
Su Xing estimated that even if Blue Star were to advance several millennia, even those god-level professional practitioners wouldn't be as powerful as he was now.
"If Earth Immortal cultivators were to engage in full-scale warfare on Blue Star... it could cause the continental plates to drift and oceans to change!"
"While it wouldn't be enough to destroy the entire world, the aftermath of the battle would likely devastate the vast majority of life!"
Su Xing sighed, realizing even more deeply that with power came the need for caution, and the importance of never forgetting one's initial intentions.
"However, it's still far from enough... If I could reach the Celestial Realm, perhaps I could delay the destruction of the Minor Green Cloud Realm?"
"If I could reach the True Immortal Realm, I would inherit the legacy within the Luotian Mirror! My foundation would then undergo a qualitative leap!"
"Even the crimson moon hanging above... if I had the Xuan Immortal Realm cultivation, I would dare to confront it head-on!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, his desire for strength growing ever more intense.
"But I can't be too ambitious... My current strength can be considered invincible at the Earth Immortal Realm, but there's still a distance to the Celestial Realm..."
"If I could obtain that Star Realm's technique of attracting starlight... my strength would likely improve even further!"
Su Xing yearned for it.
From the simulation, that technique was at least a Di Sha Divine Technique level. If Su Xing obtained it, his combat power would increase further.
But then Su Xing shook his head slightly. Greed leads to ruin. He should focus on enhancing his current divine techniques first.
"Sigh, but ultimately, the most important thing is the cultivation realm... Cultivating requires energy!"
"If I were to enhance the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, to Perfection, it would likely require another 120,000 units of energy!"
"In the end, it's all about making money!"
Thinking of this, Su Xing glanced at the time, started to disguise and conceal his aura, and prepared to trade with Lu Yuanwu.
A moment later, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven, and another 20,000 units of energy origin were in hand.
After that, Su Xing took some time to repair puppets and dispel the evil energy from the Spirit Vein Dragon.
Because the Spirit Vein Dragon was heavily shrouded in black energy, Su Xing had to re-arrange the array to dispel the evil energy every once in a while to ensure its removal.
Thus, a week passed quickly.
During this time, Su Xing flew on his sword to the Immortal Martial World to harvest the new week's Exotic Metal Ore.
...
Time came to October 7th, 2025. Su Xing went to the villa as scheduled to meet with Jin Congxue.
Another week, and close to 27,000 units of energy origin were obtained. Looking at the six-digit energy origin on the panel, Su Xing felt a slight sense of satisfaction.
After the transaction, Su Xing and Jin Congxue spent some time together before returning to the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven.
...
The simulation cooldown was over, and Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation!
"Begin simulation!"
[Simulation 107 begins, currently remaining energy origin is 118,862 units... Remaining simulation attempts are unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Spend 1 unit of energy origin to draw a golden legendary talent, whether to draw?]
"The Art of Refinement, it's time to improve it!"
Su Xing frowned slightly, not rushing to draw a talent.
In previous simulations, Su Xing had fought against a Celestial Realm cultivator from the Star Realm and ultimately lost and died.
Besides the gap in cultivation, the gap in artifacts was also undeniable.
Therefore, if Su Xing could refine the Ink Ice Sword, even if he couldn't defeat such a powerful Celestial Realm cultivator, he could at least contend with an ordinary early-stage Celestial Realm cultivator without much trouble.
"But the problem is... my previous refinement talent was only a purple-quality Refinement Prodigy. If only I had a golden refinement talent..."
Su Xing sighed, he also had a talent called Fire Flame Divine Body, which could also enhance his comprehension of the Art of Refinement. If combined with the Refinement Prodigy, maybe the effect wouldn't be bad.
"Should I choose the previous Refinement Prodigy talent? But doing so... would mean losing a chance to draw a golden talent!"
Su Xing was a bit conflicted. If it was a golden refinement talent, Su Xing wouldn't hesitate, but purple... seemed a bit of a loss.
"Take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"
"Purple talents are a bit outdated, I need a golden talent!"
"If I can't draw a golden refinement talent within four simulations... I'll just bring out the purple Refinement Prodigy talent..."
Su Xing quickly made a decision.
Because of the significant growth of Primordial Energy in the second layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, the speed of nurturing artifacts would also be much faster.
Su Xing hoped to refine the Ink Ice Sword and improve its quality before nurturing it, maximizing his gains.
"Draw a golden talent!" Su Xing gritted his teeth.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent, Effortless Flow, the next simulation's probability of drawing a golden talent will be 70%...]
[Effortless Flow]: Purple talent, you can sense the fluctuations of water, significantly increasing your comprehension of the Water Dao.
"Sigh..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly, a purple talent that enhances comprehension of the Water Dao was currently useless to him.
"Since I didn't get a golden talent, then let's proceed as planned!"
Su Xing muttered.
In this simulation, he planned to further improve his body tempering strength. Ideally, the second layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art would reach Great Accomplishment.
Besides that, the Protective Sword Qi seemed to need further improvement!
"Drawing from past experience, it's best to keep the Earth Origin Pills for the 77th year, maximizing their effectiveness!"
"Twelve pills a year, I need at least 700 Earth Origin Pills..."
Su Xing estimated that after the Earth Origin Pill refining reached the Great Accomplishment level, 360 Profound Origin Flowers would be enough for him to refine over a thousand Earth Origin Pills.
This meant that he should use as few Earth Origin Pills as possible in the first 77 years and then rely on them to cultivate in the last 60-plus years, achieving twice the result with half the effort!
Su Xing pondered for a moment, ensuring there were no omissions, then turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[Within the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven, you realized that you were in a simulation...]
[Accumulated one day of Great Wisdom talent bonus, you went to the Luotian instance to learn puppetry...]
[Two months later, the Exotic Metal Ore veins in the Immortal Martial Era instance were exhausted by you.]
[You went to the Beast Taming World instance and placed thirty puppets in the Beast Taming World to mine. Based on your estimation, the Exotic Metal Ore veins here should be enough for you to mine for four months.]
[Thus, a year passed.]
[In the second year, you accumulated two months of Great Wisdom talent bonus, preparing to refine Earth Origin Pills.]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and quickly calculated.
"Thirty mining puppets, a week can provide me with 25,000 units of energy origin... a month is 100,000..."
"Looking at it this way, the Exotic Metal Ore contained in the two instances is only about 600,000 units..."
Su Xing frowned slightly. 600,000 units of energy origin would be enough for the cultivation before the Celestial Realm.
But what about after the Celestial Realm?
Based on the current rate of energy origin expenditure, after the Celestial Realm, each minor realm increase might require as much as 100,000 units of energy origin!
Would the combined resources of all the instances near Blue Star be enough for Su Xing to ascend to the True Immortal Realm?
This was a problem, Su Xing was a bit worried...
"However... the Spirit World, as a complete instance world, might also have a lot of Exotic Metal Ore? I can go look for it?"
According to the original timeline, the Spirit World would perish in about seven or eight years.
Of course, this was without external interference.
But as long as Su Xing was willing, he could easily extend the Spirit World's lifespan, at least for twenty or thirty years.
"But for now, let's refine the Earth Origin Pills first!"
"Use immersive simulation... lasting two months!"
[Ding...]
With the simulation prompt, Su Xing entered the simulated world.
He then decisively took a Spirit Awakening Pill and activated the Great Wisdom state bonus, beginning to refine Earth Origin Pills.
In one month, Su Xing refined sixty batches of Earth Origin Pills, with a success rate of 98%, only one batch was a failure.
Moreover, twenty batches were refined into top-grade Earth Origin Pills, with a top-grade success rate of over 30%!
"Phew... My Earth Origin Pill refining skill is close to perfection!"
"Just a little more effort..."
Under the boost of the Spirit Awakening Pill, Su Xing made rapid progress.
In the next month of immersive simulation, Su Xing finally brought his Earth Origin Pill refining skill to complete perfection.
Thus, the probability of refining top-grade Earth Origin Pills reached 50%, and the success rate reached 100%!
...
The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing was very satisfied with his alchemy results.
"Not bad, with top-grade Earth Origin Pills, my Great Witch Body Tempering Art cultivation speed will be much faster, maybe I can even break through to the Great Accomplishment level in one go!"
Su Xing nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the simulation panel.
[You spent several months refining 180 batches of Earth Origin Pills.]
[Among them, 530 pills were successfully refined, and 230 were top-grade Earth Origin Pills.]
[You didn't rush to take these pills, but instead took the opportunity to go to the Spirit World.]
[You used the Dragon Vein Detection talent and spent three years carefully exploring the Spirit World.]
[As you expected, there are also high-level Exotic Metal Ore veins in the Spirit World.]
[You found about 100 3rd and 4th-grade Exotic Metal Ore veins, enough to supply the mining puppets for half a year of mining.]
[In the fifth year, you went to the Beast Taming World, cleaned up the alien races, and then returned to Blue Star, preparing to go to the Minor Green Cloud Realm.]
[You placed your relatives and friends, and some professional practitioners from Great Xia, into the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven, and then went to the Minor Green Cloud Realm.]
[Appearing in the familiar northern part of the Ten Thousand Mountains, your first action was to go to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in the White Emperor City to sell information.]
[In addition to selling information to earn spirit stones, you also purchased information about dozens of nearby small thousand worlds. Some of these small thousand worlds were where the descendants of the Luotian Sect had fled.]
[You recorded all this information, and didn't rush to explore, but after settling your family and friends, you prepared to go to the Black Water Realm.]
[In the sixth year, after arriving at the Black Water Realm, you went to the location of the underwater cave from before and took out all the resources and artifacts and divine techniques hidden in the cave.]
[After that, you erased your traces and went to the vicinity of the Profound Origin Flower secret realm to cultivate in seclusion.]
[During your seclusion, you took an Earth Origin Pill every three months, and the Great Witch Body Tempering Art progressed day by day.]
Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, muttering:
"Besides the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, my body tempering cultivation... the Protective Sword Qi also needs further cultivation!"
Su Xing currently possessed 2,200 strands of Protective Sword Qi, which was a considerable number, enough to traverse the Earth Immortal Realm without defeat.
But Su Xing had already grasped his own sword path – the Sword of Safety!
This meant that the upper limit of the Protective Sword Qi would be further increased!
2,200 strands of Protective Sword Qi were no longer enough.
"While tempering my body, I also need to further cultivate the Protective Sword Qi!"
Su Xing thought this, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[In the seventh year, in addition to cultivating the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, you also started cultivating the Protective Sword Qi.]
[You cultivated for four hours every day, and the number of Protective Sword Qi strands you mastered increased day by day.]
[Thus, twenty-three years passed.]
[In the thirtieth year, you had taken nearly 100 ordinary-quality Earth Origin Pills over the years, and still had over 400 left.]
[You could feel the Primordial Energy Flower within you blooming slightly, and your physical strength reached thirty Mountain River Force!]
[At the same time, the number of your Protective Sword Qi strands reached 2,400!]
[The power of the Protective Sword Qi has further increased!]
[Thus, another five years passed.]
[In the thirty-fifth year, you successfully obtained 180 Profound Origin Flowers and killed three members of the Descending Church.]
[After obtaining the Profound Origin Flowers, you didn't hesitate and went directly to the Star Realm!]
[After half a year of void travel, you finally successfully reached the Star Realm.]
[Unsurprisingly, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat was severely damaged and unable to continue sailing.]
[You entered the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven and recuperated for half a year, restoring your strength to its peak.]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.
"It's best to come to the Star Realm earlier, so I can find those scattered Stargazing Techniques in the tribes faster!"
"While cultivating, according to the speed of collecting ten tribes a year... a single simulation should be enough to collect over a thousand Stargazing Techniques!"
"Looking at it this way, it should only take three or five simulations to completely collect the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique!"
Su Xing felt a hint of anticipation. This was a supreme divine technique related to the Dao of Cause and Effect and Fate!
If Su Xing could completely collect and learn the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique.
Not only would he be able to shield himself from Qingyunzi's perception and extend the simulation time.
He would also be able to deduce cause and effect and fate!
The allure of this was something even Su Xing found hard to resist.
"Sigh... but for now, let's proceed step by step in the tribes!"
"But I still need to start collecting from the small tribes... otherwise, I'll attract the attention of Celestial Realm cultivators again, which would be bad!"
Su Xing learned from previous experiences, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[After recovering your strength, you reappeared in the Star Realm.]
[Unsurprisingly, dozens of native Star Realm cultivators ambushed you.]
[You paid 200,000 top-grade spirit stones to gain temporary residency in the Star Realm.]
[In the next fifteen years, in addition to cultivating, you collected Stargazing Techniques from various tribes.]
[In the fiftieth year, you collected another 200 Stargazing Techniques from different tribes, and after organizing them, your understanding of the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique became more complete.]
[This year, the number of Protective Sword Qi strands you mastered reached 2,500.]
[In the fifty-first year, through continuous research of the Stargazing Techniques from various tribes, you discovered that the stars in the sky also have their own "factions" or constellations!]
[And the relationships between the stars seem to correspond to the relationships between the various tribes in the Star Realm, whether hostile or friendly...]
[This made you even more curious.]
[In the sixtieth year, you diligently cultivated the Protective Sword Qi, and the number of strands reached 2,550.]
[You estimated that the limit of the nascent sword path would be around 3,000 Protective Sword Qi strands!]
[This quantity would be enough for you to possess Celestial Realm combat power!]
[In the next twenty years, besides cultivation, you focused most of your energy on collecting Stargazing Techniques.]
[As you continued to steal the Stargazing Techniques, you became more and more skilled. And the second day after each theft, you would inevitably return them, only memorizing them.]
[In this way, you didn't attract the attention of the Star Realm cultivators.]
[In the eightieth year, over the past forty years, you collected nearly 600 Stargazing Techniques, faster than you anticipated.]
[Counting the Stargazing Techniques you collected earlier, you have obtained over 1,200.]
[Most of this content was repetitive and contradictory, but you extracted the essence and discarded the dross, gradually grasping the complete Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique.]
[You estimated that you had collected about a quarter of this Stargazing Technique. If you could reach half, you could officially start cultivating it.]
[But the Stargazing Techniques of the various small tribes had been mostly collected by you. The tribes you needed to collect from next had Earth Immortal cultivators, and the risk was much higher, so you became even more cautious.]
[This year, the number of Protective Sword Qi strands you mastered reached 2,600!]
[In the eighty-first year, you put more thought into the Great Witch Body Tempering Art.]
[This year, your strength increased to 35 Mountain River Force.]
[You took a top-grade Earth Origin Pill every month, and your cultivation progressed rapidly.]
[Thus, another fourteen years passed.]
[In the ninety-fifth year, your strength increased to 40 Mountain River Force, but there was still a long way to go before reaching Great Accomplishment in the second layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art.]
[Under the boost of Great Late Bloomer, your sword path cultivation also progressed rapidly.]
[The number of Protective Sword Qi strands you mastered reached 2,700!]
[In the hundred and tenth year, you collected 1,400 Stargazing Techniques, and occasionally deduced the complete secret art, with great gains.]
[This year, the number of Protective Sword Qi strands you mastered reached 2,800.]
[In the hundred and twentieth year, your strength reached 45 Mountain River Force, and you had faintly touched upon the Great Accomplishment level of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two.]
[Thus, another ten years passed...]
[In the hundred and thirtieth year, your strength increased to 47 Mountain River Force, and you were getting closer and closer to breaking through to Great Accomplishment.]
[But at the same time, you were also a little anxious, wondering if you could completely enter the Great Accomplishment level in the last ten years?]
[Su Xing's Protective Sword Qi cultivation had been steadily improving. This year, the number of strands you mastered reached 2,980!]
[And with your near-century-long "theft," rumors of a "Stealing Sage" began to spread among the tribes of the Star Realm.]
[Many native Star Realm cultivators wanted to find your whereabouts.]
[You could only spend more time evading the pursuit of the native cultivators in addition to your cultivation.]
[In the hundred and thirty-fifth year, your Protective Sword Qi made further progress, with 3,000 strands of Protective Sword Qi protecting your body. Celestial Realm cultivators, dare you fight?]
[But at the same time, you also felt a bottleneck. If the Protective Sword Qi wanted to improve further, you needed your comprehension of the sword path to reach the initial glimpse of the door realm...]
[In the hundred and fortieth year, one day you felt something. As you continued to cultivate, the Primordial Energy Flower within you finally bloomed, no longer in its original bud form.]
[This year, your pure physical strength increased further, reaching 50 Mountain River Force, a full doubling from before!]
[At the same time, the Primordial Energy's enhancement to your physical strength also reached around fivefold!]
[Congratulations, the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, has finally reached Great Accomplishment!]
In the real world, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
"So close... no matter what, I finally reached Great Accomplishment in the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, at the end of the simulation!"
"The Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, brings a physical strength enhancement that allows me to rival late-stage Earth Immortal Realm cultivators!"
"Coupled with the Protective Sword Qi, and various other techniques... I also have a chance of defeating early-stage Celestial Realm cultivators!"
Su Xing's statement was quite conservative, defeat, not kill!
If it was a true life-or-death struggle, Su Xing could kill an early-stage Celestial Realm cultivator with a "disregarding martial ethics" sneak attack.
But in a head-on confrontation, it would likely be a 60/40 split...
"What if I encounter that Celestial Realm cultivator from the Star Realm again?"
Su Xing took a deep breath and tried to simulate the battle with that Celestial Realm cultivator from the Star Realm in his mind.
After a moment, Su Xing shook his head slightly and sighed:
"Three thousand strands of Protective Sword Qi, offensive and defensive in one, even if my Ink Ice Sword is not as good as that cultivator's Overturning Seal, I won't be at a disadvantage!"
"Unfortunately, I still can't resist that move that attracts the power of the stars... I'm afraid even mid-stage Celestial Realm cultivators can kill me with that divine technique!"
"Perhaps, that divine technique comes from the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique?"
Su Xing felt a hint of longing in his heart. Attracting the power of the stars, it's too cool! How could Su Xing not be fascinated?
Imagine this: Su Xing is fighting a Celestial Realm cultivator. Suddenly, Su Xing becomes gigantic, then directly attracts the stars from the sky and crushes the cultivator to death.
How stimulating would that be?
"Tsk tsk... it would be best to get this divine technique. If not, I'll just have to practice swordsmanship!"
Su Xing muttered.
But at present, he had also walked his own sword path. If the sword path reached its limit, he could also become a great cultivator who traverses the three thousand worlds!
"However, I still need to learn the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique..."
Su Xing silently recited:
"Use immersive simulation, lasting 3 days..."
[Ding...]
His consciousness entered the simulated world, and Su Xing began to memorize the Stargazing Techniques he had recorded from various tribes.
This process alone took two and a half days.
In the remaining half-day of immersive simulation, Su Xing memorized some Exotic Metal Ore veins he had recorded and the information on small worlds he had bought from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
After the immersive simulation ended, Su Xing returned to the real world.
At this moment, Su Xing's eyes were filled with intense interest.
"The Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique is indeed extraordinary!"
"I collected the Stargazing Techniques of over a thousand tribes, and after organizing them, I should have about a third of the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique?"
"It's just a pity that I haven't found the beginning of this secret art... otherwise, if I could cultivate it, my Dao of Fate and Cause and Effect would undergo a transformation!"
Su Xing felt a surge of excitement.
"This simulation has also reached its end... although I haven't explored other worlds, my strength has increased tremendously!"
"Now, I can be said to possess Celestial Realm combat power! In the Minor Green Cloud Realm, I should be considered a top figure?"
"It's just a pity that my opponents are still too strong... the Crimson Moon, Blood Three, Qingyunzi, or even the entire Descending Church, are not something a mere Celestial Realm cultivator can contend with!"
Su Xing pursed his lips, reminding himself not to get carried away with a little bit of strength and cultivation.
Until one becomes truly invincible, there is always the risk of death!
Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[After the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, reached Great Accomplishment, you continued to use the remaining few Earth Origin Pills to accelerate your cultivation.]
[Thus, several months passed.]
[One day, your Auspicious Avoidance talent frantically warned you...]
[One day later, Qingyunzi attacked...]
[Qingyunzi performed Soul Searching on you...]
[You died!]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing shook his head slightly and sighed:
"As expected, I still couldn't escape Qingyunzi's grasp!"
"But thankfully, the goals of this simulation have been largely achieved!"
Su Xing knew that if he wanted to simulate for a longer time, firstly, he needed to enhance his Qi cultivation and escape to a farther world.
Secondly, he needed a deeper understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect and Fate to prevent Qingyunzi's divination.
"But for now, let's extract the cultivation, divine techniques, and comprehension first!"
Su Xing felt a sense of anticipation, looking at the reward list.
[Effortless Flow]: Purple talent, selling price 1 unit of energy origin.
[Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two (Great Accomplishment)]: An inheritance of the ancient Witch Tribe, suitable for Immortal cultivators to temper their bodies. The second layer enhances Primordial Energy, and when cultivated to a high level, it can contend with great cultivators. Currently, it is equivalent to the combat power of a late-stage Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. Selling price 60,000 units of energy origin!
[Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique (One-Third)]: An ancient Witch Tribe's Star Witch inheritance of divination. When cultivated to a high level, it can glimpse the Dao of Fate and Cause and Effect. It is a supreme secret art, unfortunately, it lacks the beginning, making it difficult to cultivate. Selling price 30,000 units of energy origin.
[Protective Sword Qi (Three Thousand Strands)]: Di Sha Divine Technique Protective Sword Qi comprehension. After learning it, the number of Sword Qi strands increases to 3,000. Selling price 20,000 units of energy origin.
Without hesitation, Su Xing silently recited:
"I choose to bring out the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two cultivation, and the Protective Sword Qi comprehension!"
[You have successfully brought out the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two (Great Accomplishment), costing 60,000 units of energy origin, remaining energy origin is 58,793 units...]
[You have successfully brought out the Protective Sword Qi (Three Thousand Strands), costing 20,000 units of energy origin, remaining energy origin is 38,793 units...]
With the simulation prompts, two mysterious energies surged into Su Xing's body.
First, the most significant change was Su Xing's physical cultivation!
Originally, Su Xing's pure physical strength was 25 Mountain River Force!
Now, Su Xing's physical strength had doubled again, increasing from 25 Mountain River Force to 50 Mountain River Force!
If he were to use Primordial Energy, he would have a fivefold increase in strength and physical enhancement!
Feeling the surge of power within his body, Su Xing had a vague feeling of invincibility.
"The ancient Witch Tribe... perhaps it wasn't an exaggeration to say they could lift an entire world?"
"The Great Witch Body Tempering Art, each layer of cultivation is terrifying!"
"If one cultivates to the end... how terrifying would the power be?"
Su Xing felt a surge of excitement. He had only cultivated to the second layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, and he already possessed such terrifying power.
And in ancient times, those Witch Tribe members who were comparable to the Great Luo Golden Immortals would have been even more terrifying!
This modification wasn't just to Su Xing's body tempering cultivation.
Su Xing's heart moved, and three thousand golden illusory small swords surrounded his body, emitting a soft humming sound, endlessly circling.
"Three thousand strands of Protective Sword Qi, reaching the current limit. This is a technique that only true Celestial Realm cultivators can possess!"
"Ordinary Di Sha Divine Techniques might not be as powerful as my Protective Sword Qi..."
Su Xing felt a sense of emotion.
What determines the upper limit of a cultivator's strength is always their most proficient technique.
For Su Xing, it was the Protective Sword Qi!
Three thousand strands of Protective Sword Qi, offensive and defensive in one, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it could pierce the entire continent and reach ten thousand miles underground!
"However, if I want this technique to maintain its advantage, I still need to continue practicing the sword path... otherwise, after the Celestial Realm, I might become mediocre among the immortals?"
Su Xing sighed.
Those cultivators who can reach the Earth Immortal and Celestial Realms are all exceptionally talented individuals, one in ten thousand before becoming an Immortal!
It's just that as one gradually levels up, breaks through to higher realms, and sees greater landscapes, one realizes that there are always people beyond people, immortals beyond immortals.
A once formidable powerhouse in the Earth Immortal Realm might only be considered average after breaking through to the Celestial Realm.
Talents may fall, but there will always be talents in a certain realm!
Su Xing constantly reminded himself that if he didn't want to be suppressed by cultivators of the same realm, not only did he need stable and profound cultivation, but he also couldn't neglect his divine techniques...
"Sigh... but my current strength is absolutely safe on Blue Star!"
"Let's check the time, it should be time to meet Lu Yuanwu!"
Su Xing disguised himself and concealed his aura, then went to trade with Lu Yuanwu.
Flying on his sword to the agreed-upon mountain range, Su Xing used spatial power, and the next second, he appeared in front of Lu Yuanwu.
"Senior, you're here!"
Lu Yuanwu was used to Su Xing's unpredictable appearances, and bowed respectfully.
Then, he skillfully took out a storage ring and handed it to Su Xing:
"Senior, this is this week's, 10,000 tons of 3rd-grade Exotic Metal!"
Lu Yuanwu said eagerly.
Su Xing took the storage ring and casually converted it into 20,000 units of energy origin.
Then, a thousand Yuanwu Pills landed in front of Lu Yuanwu.
After the trade, Su Xing didn't rush to leave.
Including the 20,000 units of energy origin from this transaction, Su Xing had nearly 60,000 units of energy origin.
Perhaps it would be enough for the next simulation, but he needed to prepare for the source of energy for future simulations.
So, Su Xing's heart moved, he took out a Divine Power Pill and handed it to Lu Yuanwu, saying:
"This pill is called the Divine Power Pill. Take one every six months, and take four consecutively in two years. It can increase the physical body and strength of a King-level power-type professional practitioner by over 50%!"
"But this pill's effect is quite strong, so it's best to have a veteran King-level professional practitioner take it..."
Su Xing said.
The Divine Power Pill was a pill to enhance the cultivation of Divine Power Realm cultivators, corresponding to Martial Emperor-level practitioners!
But if a King-level practitioner takes it, if handled properly, the increase in strength would be particularly significant!
As soon as Su Xing finished speaking, Lu Yuanwu understood Su Xing's meaning, his voice trembling as he said:
"Senior... you, you mean? This pill, can it help King-level professional practitioners advance to the Martial Emperor level?"
"That means... this is a pill that can give birth to Martial Emperor-level professional practitioners!"
Su Xing nodded slightly and said:
"That's right, but the success rate is about one-third. That is to say, out of ten Divine Power Pills, about one Martial Emperor-level professional practitioner can be born!"
After receiving Su Xing's confirmation, Lu Yuanwu was so excited that he almost fainted...
In previous transactions, Su Xing had mentioned to Lu Yuanwu that he had magical pills that could give birth to Martial Emperor-level practitioners.
At that time, Lu Yuanwu didn't quite believe it. After all, there were only dozens of Martial Emperor-level practitioners in the entire Great Xia, and only a hundred or two in the entire human race.
But now, seeing "Senior" speak with such certainty, Lu Yuanwu couldn't help but believe it.
So, Lu Yuanwu swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice:
"Senior... then, these pills, are you also going to trade them with us?"
Su Xing didn't rush to answer, but looked at Lu Yuanwu meaningfully and asked:
"Cough cough, tell me the truth, how much Exotic Metal can the entire Great Xia produce?"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 301: Consecutive Golden Talent Explosions, Su Xing's First Refinement! [8k]
That's right, as Su Xing's strength grew, he was no longer satisfied with the few tens of thousands of energy origin he received each week!
With Su Xing's strength rivaling the Celestial Realm, he could fully withstand greater risks.
If the Dragon Old Dog discovered something amiss, Su Xing would simply go all out and eliminate him!
Although eliminating the Dragon Old Dog would cause Blood Three to descend upon Blue Star within three years.
Su Xing could also choose to take his family and friends and flee to the Minor Green Cloud Realm!
With the resources of the Three Thousand Worlds, could Su Xing's simulations for three years not reach the Golden Immortal Realm?
At that time... Blood Three might not be Su Xing's opponent anymore!
At this moment, Su Xing's thoughts were focused on making money! Getting more energy origin!
Upon hearing Su Xing's question, Lu Yuanwu froze for a moment, then cautiously said:
"Senior..."
"Our Great Xia... is also poor! Could you perhaps lower the price of these pills?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuanwu's words, Su Xing raised an eyebrow. Was Lu Yuanwu trying to haggle?
Was he afraid of not being able to afford the Divine Power Pills?
Su Xing fell silent for a moment, quickly calculating the number of Divine Power Pills he could refine.
Currently, he had three Divine Power Vines, enough to refine about 300 Divine Power Pills. With Su Xing's alchemy skills, the top-grade rate of the Divine Power Pills could be guaranteed at 100%.
Three hundred top-grade Divine Power Pills could at least guarantee the birth of thirty Martial Emperor-level professional practitioners in Great Xia!
What Su Xing was considering now was the weight that Martial Emperor-level professional practitioners held in the eyes of Great Xia!
According to the information Su Xing had, Great Xia only had over a dozen Legendary-level professional practitioners, all stationed at the Suppressing Demon Pass.
As for Emperor-level combat power, there was only one!
Therefore, the Martial Emperor level was basically the peak of Great Xia's strength, the true top figures!
Thirty Martial Emperor-level professional practitioners would almost double Great Xia's high-end combat power...
"Ten Yuanwu Pills can get me 200 units of energy origin..."
"Then, a Divine Power Pill sold for 1,000 units of energy origin shouldn't be expensive, right?"
Su Xing pondered inwardly.
1,000 units of energy origin was equivalent to 500 tons of 3rd-grade Exotic Metal...
Su Xing had a total of 300 Divine Power Pills. If he sold them all, he could get 300,000 units of energy origin, a total of 15,000 tons of 3rd-grade Exotic Metal.
With Great Xia's scale, they should be able to produce it!
Thinking this, Su Xing didn't hesitate and directly said:
"One Divine Power Pill will be sold to you at the price of 500 tons of 3rd-grade Exotic Metal!"
"To be honest, I only have 300 of these Divine Power Pills..."
"If you agree, go back and discuss it with the higher-ups of Great Xia. If you give me 150,000 tons of 3rd-grade Exotic Metal in one go, or 15,000 tons of 4th-grade Exotic Metal, then I'll sell them to you!"
Su Xing didn't care whether the price was high or low, after all, the cost of these pills was incredibly low for him.
If Su Xing were willing, he could easily refine several types of pills that were even more advanced than the Divine Power Pill!
For example, the Rebirth Pill, not only was its effect better, but the raw materials were also inexhaustible...
In selling pills to Great Xia, Su Xing, besides the purpose of making money, also had the reason of enhancing the overall strength of the human race.
For example, even without Su Xing's help, the human race's overall strength could easily defend the Suppressing Demon Pass for twenty years!
"One Divine Power Pill... 50 tons of 4th-grade Exotic Metal?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanwu's heart pounded with excitement.
This price wasn't too high... it was too low!
For Great Xia, resources were plentiful, but what they lacked were talents, high-level human professional practitioners!
A Martial Emperor-level professional practitioner could be incredibly useful on the battlefield!
And Exotic Metal... for Great Xia, it was no different from scrap iron when it was piled up in warehouses!
So, Lu Yuanwu patted his chest and promised:
"Senior, forget about 15,000 tons of 4th-grade Exotic Metal..."
"Let's do this, in a month, I guarantee that I'll bring you 20,000 tons of 4th-grade Exotic Metal!"
"At that time... what about the Divine Power Pills?"
Hearing Lu Yuanwu's words, Su Xing couldn't help but chuckle. This Lu Yuanwu knew how to conduct himself.
If he wanted to maintain a long-term trading relationship with Su Xing, he naturally had to slightly increase the price.
So, Su Xing nodded:
"Don't worry about the Divine Power Pills... in a month, just prepare enough Exotic Metal!"
Having said that, Su Xing's figure flickered and disappeared on the spot.
After Su Xing left, Lu Yuanwu could no longer maintain his composure. He clenched his fists in excitement and muttered:
"Senior is truly a good person!"
"Equivalent to thirty Martial Emperor-level powerhouses, but only worth 20,000 tons of 4th-grade Exotic Metal. What's the difference between this and giving them away for free?"
"If Senior wasn't so low-key, I'd really want to build a huge statue of him at the Suppressing Demon Pass!"
Speaking of which, Lu Yuanwu excitedly prepared to return and report the matter to the higher-ups.
As Lu Yuanwu obtained more and more pills from Su Xing, he cultivated many mid-to-high-level professional practitioners for Great Xia.
Especially the Yuanwu Pills, which could enhance the strength of Grandmaster-level professional practitioners.
This further elevated Lu Yuanwu's position!
Lu Yuanwu was currently the top leader of Great Xia's logistics department, and almost all of the national treasury's resources passed through his hands!
If he were willing, let alone 20,000 tons of 4th-grade Exotic Metal... even if it were ten times that... well, Lu Yuanwu would still have to consider it!
...
After the trade, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven and prepared to refine the Divine Power Pills.
It took a week for Su Xing to refine 300 Divine Power Pills, each one top-grade!
Just enough for the transaction with Lu Yuanwu in a month.
On October 14th, 2025, Su Xing went to the villa to trade with Jin Congxue.
With Jin Congxue's help, the Tarot Chamber of Commerce was growing in scale, and the value of the goods it brought to Su Xing was also increasing.
Currently, the weekly Exotic Metal Ore refining profits brought by the Tarot Chamber of Commerce alone were 25,000 units of energy origin. Counting other goods, Exotic Metal instance mining, etc.
The weekly energy origin Su Xing could obtain was close to 30,000 units!
Thus, Su Xing received another 50,000 units of energy origin this week, bringing his total to 89,393 units!
After the transaction, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven and prepared to start a new round of simulation.
The simulation time had not yet cooled down, Su Xing looked at the panel and prayed:
"Please, give me a golden-quality refinement talent! Didn't the Immortal Arts and Crafts talent appear frequently before?"
Su Xing conducted a mystical prayer.
When the simulation time cooled down, Su Xing promptly started a new round of simulation!
"Begin simulation!"
[Simulation 108 begins, currently remaining energy origin is 89,393 units... Remaining simulation attempts are unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Spend 1 unit of energy origin to draw a golden legendary talent, whether to draw?]
"Hesitation leads to defeat! Draw a golden talent!" Su Xing decisively said.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the golden talent, Talisman Saint Hand. Your next chance to draw a golden talent will be 60%...]
[Talisman Saint Hand]: Golden talent, one of the Immortal Arts and Crafts. Your talent in the Talisman Dao far surpasses ordinary people, possessing astonishing insight, and greatly improving the success rate of refining high-level talismans!
Su Xing was slightly disappointed after seeing the new talent, but still nodded:
"It's a golden talent after all, although it's not refinement... but the Talisman Dao is also quite good!"
Su Xing's original Talisman skills could refine 7th or 8th-grade talismans. If he cultivated further, he might become a Talisman Grandmaster, refining 10th-grade or higher talismans!
"Speaking of which... 10th-grade talismans are considered Immortal Talismans, right? That kind of quality... would be enough to kill Mahayana or even Ascension cultivators, right?"
Su Xing stroked his chin. Talismans, besides being traded for energy origin, also had other uses!
For example, if Su Xing were to leave Blue Star, he could give the human race dozens of 10th or higher-grade talismans. Not to mention Demon Saints, even if those god-level alien races came, they might not be able to break through the Suppressing Demon Pass!
In that case, even if Su Xing wasn't on Blue Star, the human race could hold on for a long time...
"The Talisman Dao is worth improving, but not now!"
"Right now, I should continue to improve my cultivation! Enhance the Great Witch Body Tempering Art to Layer Two, Perfection as soon as possible!"
"It's just a pity that with the increase in cultivation, advancement has become increasingly difficult... the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, from Small Accomplishment to Great Accomplishment took a full 140 years... I wonder if I can achieve the Perfection level this time?"
Su Xing was a little worried, but if he couldn't reach Perfection, he wouldn't be far off.
Within two simulations, Su Xing's goal was to advance the Great Witch Body Tempering Art to the third layer!
Su Xing planned a bit and turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[Within the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven, you realized that you were in a simulation.]
[You accumulated some Great Wisdom talent bonus and went to the Luotian instance...]
"Use immersive simulation..."
[Ding...]
Su Xing's vision changed, and he appeared in the Luotian instance.
After completing the task flow, Su Xing went to the Scripture Pavilion.
However, this time, Su Xing didn't choose to learn puppetry from Ghost Granny.
Instead, he chose a refinement technique called the Luotian Refinement Grand Canon in the Scripture Pavilion to learn.
The Luotian Refinement Grand Canon contained many advanced refinement techniques, from 8th-grade to 15th-grade Refinement Grandmaster, with descriptions of the knowledge involved.
Su Xing spent a day memorizing some of the content, intending to digest it later.
...
The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
"Not bad, the Luotian Refinement Technique is enough for me to learn for a long time... but before that, I need to relearn the basics of refinement!"
"The Refinement Canon of the Fire Control Sect is a good resource!"
Su Xing muttered.
Whether it was to obtain higher-quality artifacts or repair the spirit boat, he needed to dabble in the Art of Refinement.
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[After leaving the Luotian instance, your harvest was rich.]
[Another half a month passed, and you successfully traded with Lu Yuanwu, obtaining 20,000 tons of 4th-grade Exotic Metal.]
[In the next six months, you refined 540 Earth Origin Pills, of which nearly 300 were top-grade.]
[In the second year, you went to the Beast Taming World and cleaned up the alien races there.]
[In the third year, you eliminated the Dragon Old Dog and several high-ranking members of the Descending Church. You looted the Descending Church's treasury and went to the Blood Demon Realm, looting all the valuable resources there.]
[In the next three years, you diligently cultivated the Great Witch Body Tempering Art and began to comprehend your own sword path.]
[In the sixth year, one day you calculated and found that you would face a calamity within a month.]
[You knew that it might be Blood Three's arrival, so you took your family and friends, as well as some professional practitioners from Great Xia, and fled to the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[After arriving at the Minor Green Cloud Realm, you went to the White Emperor City, settled your family and friends, and then sold crucial information.]
[After coming to the Minor Green Cloud Realm, that uneasy feeling gradually dissipated. You knew that Blood Three wouldn't be able to find you easily in the short term...]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.
"Not bad, it seems the Descending Church's treasury and the Blood Demon Realm... it's time to act!"
"After dealing with the Descending Church, there's a three-year buffer period... this time is enough for me to improve my cultivation in many aspects!"
From the time Su Xing obtained the simulator to now, it had only been two short years, and he had gone from a Qi Refinement cultivator to an Earth Immortal cultivator!
At this rate, it wouldn't be impossible to reach the Golden Immortal Realm within the next three years!
All that was needed were more resources and energy...
"It seems that there's a way to travel to the Three Thousand Worlds from the real world..."
"But the prerequisite is that it cannot attract the attention of the Crimson Moon!"
Su Xing pondered for a while.
If he traveled through the dimensional space, it would inevitably attract the Crimson Moon's attention.
Once the Crimson Moon paid attention, it would have unknown consequences for Blue Star. Therefore, if Su Xing traveled to the Three Thousand Worlds through the dimensional space, it was highly likely that he wouldn't be able to return.
So, a better way would be for Su Xing to use the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and travel through a void node to the Three Thousand Worlds!
However, this required Su Xing to have higher cultivation and a deeper understanding of the Spatial Dao and the Dao of Fate and Cause and Effect.
"Perhaps, after a while, when I inherit the Luotian Mirror, I'll be able to go to the Minor Green Cloud Realm!"
Su Xing felt a surge of excitement. Once he entered the Three Thousand Worlds, it would mean that Su Xing would have more resources and opportunities, and of course, it would also mean risks...
But the resources of Blue Star were limited, and going to the Three Thousand Worlds was inevitable!
Su Xing shook his head slightly and muttered:
"I'm thinking too much... whatever, let's refine my sword path and cultivate the Great Witch Body Tempering Art first!"
Su Xing's gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[Relying on your Earth Immortal Realm cultivation, you easily obtained the position of Guest Elder in the White Emperor City.]
[Then, relying on this identity, you went to the front lines of Heavenly Demon City to participate in the war!]
[You became a commander on the front lines of Heavenly Demon City, signing a front-line support agreement with Heavenly Demon City for twenty-five years.]
[As an Earth Immortal, you were very free, and you could freely control most of your time.]
[You not only had generous mission rewards but were also respected.]
[Especially since the front-line situation in the Minor Green Cloud Realm had been relatively good in recent years, you didn't face many risks.]
[But your purpose in coming to the front lines of Heavenly Demon City was to refine your swordsmanship.]
[You, wielding your sword alone, went on a rampage on the front lines, killing enemy after enemy.]
[Thus, over twenty years passed...]
[In the thirty-third year, countless alien races died at your hands, over a hundred low-level Divine Power alien races, and over a dozen mid-level Divine Power alien races!]
[Relying on this unparalleled swordsmanship, you were hailed as the number one person under the Celestial Realm in Heavenly Demon City!]
[Your accumulated military merits were illustrious, and your fame quickly spread throughout the Minor Green Cloud Realm.]
[But this also led to several assassination attempts, not only from alien races but also from the Descending Church!]
[Fortunately, you were prepared and brought your family to Heavenly Demon City.]
[In the thirty-fourth year, the front-line support agreement you signed with Heavenly Demon City had long since ended, and you were ready to leave Heavenly Demon City.]
[Although the front-line cultivators were very reluctant to see you go, you knew that Heavenly Demon City was not a place to stay for long. To pursue a better future, you had to go to the Black Water Realm and the Star Realm.]
[But in these twenty years, your swordsmanship growth was also astonishing!]
[Although your sword path was still in the nascent stage, you clearly felt that your sword intent was more abundant, and the sword path you were walking was clearer.]
[At the same time, your Great Witch Body Tempering Art also made further progress, your physical strength reaching 55 Mountain River Force, but the road to Layer Two, Perfection, was still long.]
[This year, you secretly went to the spatial node in the southwest of the Minor Green Cloud Realm, rode the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, and went to the Black Water Realm...]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and sighed:
"It's a pity... my sword path didn't have a breakthrough!"
"If my sword path had a sudden breakthrough, I might have saved a hundred years!"
"The cultivation progress of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, has also slowed down... next, let's proceed as planned and prepare to go to the Star Realm!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[After arriving at the Black Water Realm, you quickly collected the treasures in the underwater cave.]
[After that, you lurked near the Profound Origin Flower secret realm, quietly waiting for it to open.]
[In the thirty-fifth year, the secret realm opened, you obtained the Profound Origin Flowers and killed several members of the Descending Church.]
[In the same year, you rode the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and went to the Star Realm.]
[After arriving at the Star Realm, you hid in the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven and recuperated for half a year.]
[In the thirty-sixth year, you appeared in the Star Realm and traveled among various tribes, collecting the Stargazing Charts of each tribe.]
[Thus, fourteen years passed.]
[In the fiftieth year, you collected about 200 Stargazing Techniques from various tribes, and you compiled them into a book, further improving the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique.]
[After coming to the Star Realm, you no longer had to worry about the Descending Church cultivators pursuing you.]
[Because the Star Realm was extremely far away, and the natives of this realm disliked external cultivators, the Descending Church found it difficult to develop spies to infiltrate.]
[After coming to the Star Realm, in addition to practicing swordsmanship and body tempering, you collected Stargazing Techniques from various tribes every day.]
[Thus, another twenty-seven years passed.]
[In the seventy-seventh year, the number of Stargazing Techniques you collected reached 600, with many overlaps.]
[This year, your strength increased to 60 Mountain River Force.]
[At the same time, the Great Late Bloomer talent also took effect, you began to take an Earth Origin Pill every month, and your body tempering cultivation increased rapidly.]
Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.
"Not bad, after the seventy-seventh year, I'll focus on cultivating the Great Witch Body Tempering Art. Even if I can't reach Perfection, I can still make a lot of progress!"
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[In the ninety-fifth year, taking Earth Origin Pills, your cultivation progressed rapidly. This year, your strength increased to 65 Mountain River Force.]
[In the hundred and tenth year, your strength increased to 70 Mountain River Force.]
[You faintly sensed that after the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, reached Perfection, the upper limit of strength should be around 100 Mountain River Force.]
[And you still had a long way to go to reach that level.]
[In the hundred and twenty-fifth year, your strength increased to 75 Mountain River Force.]
[In the hundred and fortieth year, your strength increased to 80 Mountain River Force!]
[At the same time, the collection over the past hundred years also gave you over a thousand more tribal Stargazing Techniques, which you integrated one by one.]
Su Xing saw this and his heart moved. "Use the immersive simulation function, lasting 2 months!"
[Ding...]
After appearing in the simulated world, Su Xing took a Spirit Awakening Pill and didn't hesitate to begin memorizing the Stargazing Techniques of these tribes.
Three days passed, and Su Xing memorized them all, gaining many insights.
"The Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique, I've probably collected about half of it now?"
"It's just a pity that I'm still missing the beginning, otherwise, I could start cultivating it!"
After memorizing the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique, Su Xing began to learn the Talisman Dao.
"The Talisman Saint Hand talent I drew in this simulation is perfect for me to delve into the Talisman Dao!"
Su Xing then took out many materials and began to learn 8th-grade and higher advanced talismans.
...
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality.
The look of satisfaction in his eyes was hard to conceal.
"Just two months of immersive simulation... not only have I mastered dozens of 9th-grade talismans, but I've even mastered two 10th-grade talismans!"
"Now, I can truly be called a Talisman Grandmaster!"
Su Xing was very satisfied.
The two 10th-grade talismans he learned this time were the Golden Light Talisman and the Golden Shield Talisman, one offensive and one defensive. Both could threaten Ascension cultivators!
Taking a Spirit Awakening Pill and undergoing two months of immersive simulation was equivalent to ten years of hard cultivation.
This meant that Su Xing, in just ten years, had grown from an 8th-grade Talisman Master to a 10th-grade Talisman Grandmaster!
Besides the boost from the golden talent, the increase in Su Xing's cultivation realm and the strengthening of his divine sense made learning the Talisman Dao much easier.
"Phew... 10th-grade talismans are enough for now!"
"But I still need to get the Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique!"
"It's a pity that in this simulation, I couldn't break through to the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two, Perfection..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly. In the simulation, he was trapped in the Star Realm, and it was almost a dead end.
Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[After your Talisman Dao improved, you continued to cultivate diligently for two months.]
[One day, your Auspicious Avoidance talent sent a warning...]
[The next day, Qingyunzi came...]
[You died...]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing shook his head slightly.
"The simulation duration... hasn't increased in a while..."
Su Xing felt a bit helpless. If each simulation only lasted 140 years, it was hard to say whether he could reach the True Immortal Realm within a year.
However, Su Xing also knew that the Star Realm was just a temporary experience-gaining instance for him.
His purpose in the Star Realm was, firstly, to obtain more Stargazing Techniques, and secondly, to cultivate the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two.
"Sigh... although I didn't reach Perfection, let's see the rewards for this simulation!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[Talisman Saint Hand]: Golden talent, selling price 10 units of energy origin.
[Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two (Great Accomplishment)]: An inheritance of the ancient Witch Tribe, suitable for Immortal cultivators to temper their bodies. The second layer enhances Primordial Energy, and when cultivated to a high level, it can contend with great cultivators. Currently, it is equivalent to the combat power of a late-stage Earth Immortal Realm cultivator (80 Mountain River Force). Selling price 30,000 units of energy origin!
[Minor Celestial Stargazing Technique (Half)]: An ancient Witch Tribe's Star Witch inheritance of divination. When cultivated to a high level, it can glimpse the Dao of Fate and Cause and Effect. It is a supreme secret art, unfortunately, it lacks the beginning, making it difficult to cultivate. Selling price 50,000 units of energy origin.
Without hesitation, Su Xing silently recited:
"I choose to bring out the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two cultivation, and the Talisman Saint Hand talent!"
[You have successfully brought out the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Layer Two (Great Accomplishment), costing 30,000 units of energy origin, remaining energy origin is 59,311 units...]
[You have successfully brought out the Talisman Saint Hand talent, costing 10 units of energy origin, remaining energy origin 59,301 units...]
With the simulation prompts, two energies surged into Su Xing's body.
Su Xing's physical body, within a short moment, increased to 80 Mountain River Force, an increase of 60%!
"Sigh... although I didn't reach Perfection, this progress is still quite impressive!"
Su Xing nodded slightly.
Looking at the time, Su Xing traded with Lu Yuanwu as scheduled.
After receiving 20,000 units of energy origin, Su Xing started repairing puppets for the new week.
Three more Nascent Soul Stage puppets were repaired by Su Xing, and he also refined two 9th-grade talismans. These two talismans were prepared for the Demon Saint at the Suppressing Demon Pass in the future.
On October 21st, Su Xing went to the Immortal Martial Era instance to harvest Exotic Metal Ore.
Then he went to the villa district and met with Jin Congxue.
The two enjoyed a meal and chatted.
Jin Congxue rubbed her slightly sore shoulders and said:
"Sigh... I've been exhausted lately, I feel like I've aged several years!"
Su Xing listened to Jin Congxue's complaints, looked at her flawless skin, and smiled without speaking.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing said:
"Sister Xue... if you had a chance, not only to be a professional practitioner but also to possess new power, would you be willing?"
Jin Congxue was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion:
"What kind of power?"
Su Xing described it and said: "The immortals in ancient novels... you know?"
"It's like... a god-like power!"
"Although the initial cultivation is slow, the future development potential is extremely great. Would you be willing to accept it?"
Jin Congxue's eyes lit up and she said: "Power like yours? After joining the organization... your strength seems to have increased quite a bit! Even I can't see through you..."
Jin Congxue wrinkled her cute little nose.
Su Xing nodded slightly. He was still a bit hesitant about whether to give Jin Congxue a spiritual root.
But the problem was that Su Xing only had one Wood and Fire Dual Spiritual Root left, and its quality was just average.
Su Xing decided to wait. If he could draw a golden-quality spiritual root, he could give the Heavenly Spiritual Root to Jin Congxue.
So, Su Xing said:
"Sister Xue, don't worry... I'm just letting you know in advance! Perform well, and the organization will bestow power upon you!"
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Jin Congxue showed a strange expression.
The organization bestowing power... it sounded like something a villain would say!
Jin Congxue chuckled.
The two chatted for a while longer, and Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven.
...
The simulation cooldown was over, and Su Xing prepared to start a new week's simulation!
[Simulation 109 begins, currently remaining energy origin is 110,309 units... Remaining simulation attempts are unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Spend 1 unit of energy origin to draw a golden legendary talent, whether to draw?]
"Yes!" Su Xing didn't hesitate.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the golden talent, Refinement Saint Body. Your next chance to draw a golden talent will be 60%...]
[Refinement Saint Body]: Golden talent, one of the Immortal Arts and Crafts. Your physique is naturally suitable for refinement. Your insight in the Art of Refinement is astonishing, and you can easily become a Refinement Grandmaster!
"Damn, two consecutive golden talents!"
"Finally, the system gave me a refinement talent!"
Su Xing's heart pounded, feeling like he was on a roll.
After three consecutive draws, Su Xing finally drew the golden refinement talent he wanted.
Originally, Su Xing had planned that if he didn't draw it again, he would just make do with the purple refinement talent...
"Woohoo, looking at it this way, Daddy System still loves me!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. Now, the goals for this simulation were extremely clear!
Cultivate the Great Witch Body Tempering Art to the Perfection level!
At the same time, bring out the refinement talent and improve his Art of Refinement as much as possible!
Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[Within the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven, you realized that you were in a simulation.]
[Ten days later, you went to the Luotian instance and memorized a lot of the Luotian Refinement Canon.]
[In the next year, you refined Earth Origin Pills and practiced refinement.]
[In the second year, you went to the Beast Taming World and eliminated the alien races there.]
[In the third year, you killed the Dragon Old Dog and several high-ranking members of the Descending Church.]
[In the same year, you looted the Descending Church's treasury and the Blood Demon Realm.]
[In the fourth year, you took your family and friends, and some people from Great Xia, and fled to the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[In the fifth year, after settling your family and friends, you went to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to sell information.]
[You earned a considerable amount of spirit stones and spent most of them on spirit liquid and materials needed for refinement.]
[Then you rode the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and went to the Black Water Realm.]
[After taking out the treasures from the underwater cave, you opened a cave dwelling near the Profound Origin Flower secret realm.]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and took a deep breath, silently reciting:
"Use immersive simulation, lasting 30 years!"
[Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation...]
With the simulation prompt, Su Xing appeared in the Black Water Realm.
As soon as he entered the Black Water Realm cave dwelling, Su Xing sensed the rich water element in the air.
After going to the Black Water Realm cave dwelling and setting up protective formations, Su Xing went to the Spirit Field Grotto Heaven.
"30 years of immersive simulation... costing tens of thousands of energy origin... I can't waste it!"
Su Xing took out several storage rings and checked them.
These storage rings contained a large amount of refinement materials, from 1st-grade ordinary refinement materials to 11th-grade Immortal Artifact embryos, everything was there.
Su Xing's goal for this immersive simulation was to improve his refinement skills as much as possible!
"30 years of immersive simulation... should be enough for me to become a Refinement Master, right?"
Su Xing took a deep breath. He didn't rush into refinement but instead used the memory shielding technique he had learned from the Luotian Sect.
As long as he used this secret technique in advance, Su Xing could focus on refinement, barely feeling the passage of time.
After 30 years, when Su Xing returned to the real world, he didn't feel like he had been away for a long time.
Everything was ready, and Su Xing officially began his first refinement!
(ps: I will try to omit the tedious plot and speed up the pace to make the plot more interesting...)
(End of Chapter)
