Chapter 339: Failed to Save Earth, The Battle for World's Destruction!
In the real world, Su Xing woke up with a furrowed brow.
"As expected, entering Earth with such fanfare...those cultivators were still sensed by Crimson Moon!"
Although Crimson Moon hadn't resurrected yet, it was only a matter of a few decades before her revival, and her power had likely recovered significantly.
Her perception was not to be underestimated!
Even Su Xing, after his ascension to the Immortal Realm, had never taken action on Earth, and constantly shielded his celestial aura, all to prevent being discovered by Crimson Moon!
But now, these three Golden Immortals and one Great Yi Golden Immortal, were clearly arrogant, believing that the yet-to-be-resurrected Crimson Moon was far from their match!
"But going there so blatantly is bound to attract Crimson Moon's attention!"
"Next, even if Crimson Moon is slain...it's likely to cause a bloody storm!"
Su Xing's brows were tightly knit. No matter what, Earth was his home, where his relatives and friends resided.
If these foreign cultivators and Crimson Moon clashed, the sheer scale of the battle would undoubtedly cause Earth to face a catastrophic end!
Su Xing's original plan was for the three Golden Immortals and the Great Yi Golden Immortal to strike swiftly and execute a decapitation strike on Crimson Moon.
This way, the losses could be minimized!
"But now it seems, the Golden Immortals in the simulation don't seem to value the lives of ordinary people at all!"
Su Xing felt helpless. The Su Xing in the simulation must have advised these immortals, but as a mere True Immortal, his words carried little weight, not even catching the eye of the Great Yi Golden Immortal…
"Even if they win against Crimson Moon, the entire Earth will be devastated, won't it?"
Su Xing slightly regretted his choice. Calling upon cultivators from the Three Thousand Worlds to resolve the Crimson Moon crisis was akin to inviting a tiger to devour a sheep…or even inviting a wolf into the house!
The best solution would undoubtedly be for Su Xing himself to handle it… resolving the Crimson Moon issue with the least possible cost!
"Sigh, whatever…let's see how things unfold!"
Su Xing decided to observe for a while, his gaze falling upon the simulation panel.
[The moment the sky turned blood-red, all living beings on Earth felt a sense of dread…]
[This was the absolute suppression of higher authority! Not just the ordinary people and professionals, even you felt a sense of discomfort in your heart under this pressure.]
[After sensing this pressure, the faces of the other three Golden Immortals changed slightly, even the Great Yi Golden Immortal looked grave.]
[Although Crimson Moon hadn't resurrected yet, this pressure was undoubtedly from a being of supreme authority, comparable to the pressure of a Da Luo Golden Immortal!]
[The three Golden Immortals exchanged glances and looked towards the Great Yi Golden Immortal.]
[The Great Yi Golden Immortal gritted his teeth and decided to launch a swift attack, engaging Crimson Moon in a frontal assault!]
[And you, became their guide…]
[At this moment, across Earth, including the streets and alleys of Daxia Kingdom, there were wandering, lost professionals.]
[Their eyes were bloodshot, as if they had lost their minds, wandering aimlessly through the streets and alleys…]
[Seeing this scene, you were startled, and forgetting about the decapitation strike on Crimson Moon, you used spatial techniques to find your loved ones.]
[Fortunately, people like Jin Congxue, Luo Shuyin, and Yu Yan had soul imprints left by you, providing some resistance to Crimson Moon's aftereffect, so they did not lose their minds.]
[You rescued your parents, your younger sister, and your familiar friends, placing them all within the Spiritual Field Paradise.]
[But there were too many out-of-control professionals, and you couldn't save everyone… Meanwhile, the few Golden Immortal realm powerhouses urged you to find Crimson Moon's location as soon as possible.]
[With no other choice, you could only take the three Golden Immortals and the Great Yi Golden Immortal to the Slaughter Battlefield!]
[Without a doubt, you saw that crimson moon…]
[On the Slaughter Battlefield, countless alien races began to riot at this moment… frantically attacking Zhen Yao Pass.]
[Everyone noticed the abnormality of the crimson moon, the scarlet moonlight, as if it could devour everything.]
[The three Golden Immortals, upon seeing the crimson moon, immediately took action, each unleashing their magical powers and divine abilities, launching a general attack towards Crimson Moon…]
[And on the Slaughter Battlefield, high-level red-eyed alien races began to appear gradually, Emperor and Saint-level alien races began to emerge.]
[You fought fiercely on the battlefield, those Emperor and Saint-level alien races were crushed like ants under your hand.]
[However, no matter how the three Golden Immortals attacked, the crimson moon seemed unaffected…]
[Even if the crimson moon was shattered, it would recondense after a few hours!]
[In this way, after a day, the Great Yi Golden Immortal finally confirmed that the crimson moon on the Slaughter Battlefield was merely a projection, not the true body!]
[He asked you if you could guess where Crimson Moon was truly hiding…]
In the real world, Su Xing's brows furrowed at this point.
"That crimson moon, was it just a projection, not the main body?"
"Then, where is Crimson Moon's main body?"
Su Xing quickly thought of a place, the Endless Abyss!
The abyss hidden deep within the American副本, might be where Crimson Moon's true body was hiding!
"How cunning Crimson Moon is…the one on the Slaughter Battlefield was just a decoy?"
Su Xing muttered. Anyone's first reaction would be that the crimson moon constantly absorbing the killing aura on the Slaughter Battlefield was the main body.
But who would have thought that Crimson Moon was so cunning, letting the projection absorb the killing intent while she herself hid away.
"Then let's go to the Endless Abyss!"
Su Xing took a deep breath. With three Golden Immortals and one Great Yi Golden Immortal taking action, they should be able to kill Crimson Moon this time!
[In just two days, nearly one-third of Earth's professionals lost their minds…more than half of humanity died at the hands of the rioting, deranged professionals.]
[In such a critical moment, you naturally wouldn't hesitate, decisively leading them towards the Endless Abyss…]
[You fought your way through, and in just an hour, you reached the 100th layer of the Endless Abyss.]
[Here, red-eyed alien races comparable to Immortals began to appear…]
[But this couldn't stop your advance!]
[In this way, a day passed, and you had reached the 900th layer of the Endless Abyss!]
[And the red-eyed alien races that appeared here were already terrifying, even possessing the strength of a Xuan Immortal!]
[Fortunately, these red-eyed alien races were not numerous, and under the attack of the three Golden Immortals, they were quickly eliminated…]
[But the Great Yi Golden Immortal looked serious, because the strength of these red-eyed alien races was not right!]
[These dozens of red-eyed alien races comparable to Xuan Immortals were weakened!]
[In their prime, these were dozens of alien Second-Rank Deities comparable to Golden Immortal cultivators!]
[You guessed in your heart that these red-eyed alien races were perhaps survivors of the Luo Tian War…they had not completely died along with Crimson Moon, but had secretly accumulated strength to resurrect.]
[But these weakened red-eyed alien races were still far from your opponents.]
[At this moment, the Great Yi Golden Immortal didn't dare to be careless, he didn't take action, but secretly recovered his strength.]
[And under your fierce battle with the other three Golden Immortals, after a day and a night, you finally reached the bottom of the Endless Abyss!]
[After pushing open the heavy stone gate, you saw the familiar scene, within an ancient array, those scarlet eyes appeared again.]
[Upon seeing this array, the Great Yi Golden Immortal breathed a sigh of relief, apparently…this was where Crimson Moon was hiding!]
[The Great Yi Golden Immortal saw this and began to calculate with his fingers, then used his magical powers to gradually break the array…then the ground began to tremble, as if some great terror was about to appear!]
[Sensing the abyss-like aura, the faces of the three Golden Immortals changed slightly, apparently, you could no longer participate in this level of battle…]
[So, the Great Yi Golden Immortal asked you to leave first and return to Earth.]
[And you were also worried about the safety of humanity, so you turned back and returned to Earth.]
In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.
"So, Crimson Moon now…what kind of combat power does she still possess?"
Su Xing made a rough deduction.
Based on his estimations, Crimson Moon was still decades away from resurrection, and her strength was far from her peak, not even a tenth of her prime!
"But even so…Crimson Moon at this moment is probably not something ordinary Golden Immortals can mess with!"
"She should be below the Great Yi Golden Immortal, but above the Golden Immortal realm? At the very least…she probably has the combat power of an early Golden Immortal?"
Su Xing estimated that if Crimson Moon was willing to pay a price, she could unleash a power comparable to that of a Golden Immortal!
"Tsk tsk, after all, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse!"
"But based on this situation…the Great Yi Golden Immortal should be confident in dealing with Crimson Moon!"
Su Xing thought so. The key now was how much damage would Earth suffer in this battle?
With a worried heart, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[When you returned to Earth, the entire planet had undergone a drastic change!]
[In just three or five days, over two-thirds of humanity died, especially in the Twelve Regions, where nearly 90% of humanity died in internecine conflicts.]
[In your perception, all the deceased professionals turned into killing intent, becoming nourishment for Crimson Moon…]
[The sky became increasingly red, and even the land seemed to be turning blood-red!]
[Only Daxia Kingdom, because you had made some preparations in advance, and high-level professionals were gathered beforehand, so it didn't suffer too much loss…]
[You couldn't save everyone, and at this critical juncture, you decided to save your own country first!]
[You returned to Daxia Kingdom and led a group of clear-headed professionals, constantly distributing Tranquil Pills and using magical techniques to stabilize their emotions.]
[At the same time, you put hundreds of thousands of high-level professionals into the Spiritual Field Paradise to prevent them from further rioting!]
[Only the professionals were affected, and the ordinary people faced Crimson Moon with only fear…]
[However, for the professionals, killing ordinary people was too easy!]
[For the next week, you were busy in Daxia Kingdom, doing your best to save more civilians.]
[At the same time, you also kept an eye on the Endless Abyss…]
[With the battle between the Great Yi Golden Immortal and Crimson Moon, the entire Endless Abyss became a battlefield.]
[The thousand-layered Endless Abyss, comparable to several planets in size, was constantly collapsing in this battle.]
[Over a thousand layers of the Endless Abyss were reduced to mere dozens, the rest shattered!]
[And with the fall of the Endless Abyss, countless terrifying alien races crawled out from the abyss and arrived in America…]
[For a time, the entire America was like hell on Earth!]
[High-level professionals were all lost, and the low-level professionals and ordinary people, faced with the alien races, were like ants, with no power to resist.]
[Daxia Kingdom, out of humanitarianism, sent a small team of clear-headed professionals to provide support, but it was like a drop in the ocean…]
[At first, it was only alien races below the Heavenly King level that emerged, but in the end, even Legendary and Emperor-level alien races descended upon American territory…]
[In just a month, the other side of the ocean, the entire United States, along with dozens of surrounding small countries, all fell!]
[And a month later, the Great Yi Golden Immortal's battle with the red-eyed alien races continued!]
[This level of powerhouse clashing, a battle could last for decades, or even longer!]
[You knew that what you had to face next was not just the alien races on the other side of the ocean, the unrest among humans was also a major concern!]
[So, the entire Daxia military, with absolute authority, quickly unified the professionals within Daxia and refused entry to professionals from other regions.]
[And you, unified the professionals, removing Crimson Moon's karmic influence from them.]
[In this way, a year passed…]
[In the eighth year of the simulation, Daxia Kingdom was basically stabilized, but the price paid was painful!]
[Nearly half of the professionals died, and the remaining half were in an unstable state…]
[Over 60% of the civilians died in this disaster…]
[But compared to other countries, the situation in Daxia Kingdom was considered extremely good.]
[According to your calculations, this disaster reduced the global population by 90% in just one or two years!]
[Of the remaining 10%, over 80% were survivors within the borders of Daxia Kingdom…]
[This, of course, was because you were in Daxia Kingdom.]
[But the alien races from the other side of the ocean began to gradually erode the entire Earth.]
[So, you chose to take action at this time, ensuring the stability of Daxia Kingdom while going to other regions to kill the alien races.]
[In this way, another two years passed.]
[In the tenth year, the entire Earth was basically stabilized, and most of the alien races were exterminated by you.]
[And during this period, the Descending Church colluded with the alien races, causing considerable damage to humanity…during this time, Old Dog Long was killed by you!]
[All the survivors felt a sense of relief after surviving a catastrophe.]
[The battle from two or three years ago became a nightmare for everyone, and the survivors thought the war was over…]
[The price paid was the extinction of over 93% of the world's population, two of the three continents were completely lost…the ocean coverage of the entire Earth exceeded 90%…]
[But only you knew that the battle was far from over!]
[Because the life-or-death decision was still the battle between the Great Yi Golden Immortal and Crimson Moon!]
[But you couldn't participate in this battle…occasionally flying to the entrance of the abyss to observe, you could feel the terrifying battle fluctuations from the abyss.]
[The situation was deadlocked, and in the blink of an eye, another three years passed…]
In the real world, Su Xing's expression was slightly unnatural as he read this.
"Sigh, even if they can eliminate Crimson Moon…the price paid is too high, isn't it?"
"The lives of the entire Earth! Almost all of humanity perished…it's not much different from being completely invaded by alien races…"
Su Xing had anticipated this, the battle between top-tier powerhouses would inevitably destroy an entire Lesser Thousand World.
But Su Xing still had hope, that a swift decapitation strike could minimize the losses.
But now it seems, it's not realistic…
"And the battlefield is still in the Endless Abyss…if the battlefield was on Earth, the entire world would have been shattered, the world torn apart!"
"In the eyes of these Golden Immortals, Crimson Moon had to be eliminated, not to mention the cost of a Lesser Thousand World and tens of billions of people…even if it cost hundreds of billions of people, they would probably still choose to do it!"
Su Xing felt a deep sense of powerlessness. For these top-tier cultivators, Earth was nothing more than a battlefield.
But for Su Xing, it meant something different…it was his home!
"I just hope that Crimson Moon can be resolved soon! It's been dragging on for too long…will there be any accidents?"
Su Xing muttered.
In his opinion, a Great Yi Immortal taking action and three Golden Immortals supporting should be enough to eliminate Crimson Moon.
Unless, some other force intervenes…
Thinking of this, Su Xing had a bad feeling.
"Should…be able to take down Crimson Moon, right?"
Su Xing's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[In the thirteenth year of the simulation, the battle continued, but you had to find another way for humanity's future.]
[You began to build a shelter within the Spiritual Field Paradise and prepared to move all of humanity there…]
[The entire Spiritual Field Paradise was a circular plane with a radius of a thousand meters, with an area of about 300 square kilometers.]
[If you spared no effort and didn't consider population density, you might be able to fit half of the remaining population of Daxia Kingdom within it.]
[But this project was undoubtedly huge!]
[Fortunately, you had prepared in advance…the entire population migration project lasted for a full seven years!]
[In the 20th year, one day, you had a bad feeling, as if something big was about to happen…]
[A month later, a Golden Immortal arrived in Daxia Kingdom in a sorry state.]
[He came to inform you to leave Earth as soon as possible!]
[You immediately asked him for details, but he only said that the Descending Church had made a move!]
[You were confused after hearing this, the Descending Church had already been destroyed by you…but you quickly realized that he was referring to the Descending Church in the Three Thousand Worlds!]
[The one who made the move might be Blood Three! Or perhaps, some other executive with Great Yi-level strength.]
[But no matter what, Earth could not be stayed on…]
[So, you did your best, took as many humans as possible, and then drove the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to the Lesser Qingyun Realm…]
[In the blink of an eye, a month passed!]
[After arriving at the Lesser Qingyun Realm, you quickly moved the humans to near Bai Di City.]
[And prepared to return to Earth to take the rest of the humans…]
[However, when you drove the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat to the outside of Earth, you saw a terrifying scene…]
[A terrifying beast, several times larger than Earth, tore apart the entire Earth as if it were eating "cotton candy".]
[This was the first time you saw this sky-covering beast outside of Earth.]
[You were furious, and you unleashed your most powerful sword strike, 3,600 protective sword qi erupted…this was a supreme sword strike capable of slaying a Xuan Immortal!]
[However, this sword strike only left a tiny wound on the beast.]
[The beast glared with eyes the size of a planet, as if it had noticed you…]
[Its breath caused nearby planets to shift.]
[Then, it tore a crack in the void, turned around and plunged into the crack, disappearing without a trace!]
[The vast Earth, and countless small worlds around it, were all swallowed by it!]
[After failing to save Earth, you could only choose to leave as soon as possible and return to the Lesser Qingyun Realm.]
[In the 23rd year, you learned the outcome of that battle from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!]
[Two Golden Immortals and the Great Yi Golden Immortal were killed, and Crimson Moon was nowhere to be found…]
[You were silent after hearing this, having paid such a great price, only to receive an unknown result.]
Su Xing looked at the cold text in front of him, as if he could feel the countless joys and sorrows within it.
"Earth, was ultimately not saved…"
"But thankfully, a portion of Earth's human population was saved…"
Su Xing clenched his fists and muttered:
"In the end, it's still about strength!"
"If I had Da Luo Golden Immortal cultivation now, I wouldn't have to fear Crimson Moon at all…"
"The failure of this operation might be because I'm insignificant…but the arrogance of those powerful cultivators was also fatal!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. Fortunately, it was just a simulation, although saving Earth failed, but Su Xing also gained a lot of experience and lessons from it.
"Right now, there are more important things! Qingyunzi's side, can't have any more accidents!"
"While there's still time…I need to seize the time to cultivate!"
Su Xing merely tried, saving Earth would be best, but if not, he still needed to focus on improving his own strength!
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[With your True Immortal status, you were already capable of expanding your territory and becoming a powerful lord in the Lesser Qingyun Realm.]
[So, you spent some resources, paying millions of spirit stones to buy a piece of land near Bai Di City, where you settled most of the Earth humans.]
[In the 25th year, you found the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, informed them of Qingyunzi's situation, and presented your identity…]
[In the 30th year, you met Zi Ling Xianzi and followed her to Qingyun Sect.]
[On the Three Immortals Peak, you exchanged the Auspicious Wish Visualization Diagram for two cups of Enlightenment Tea.]
[Then, you didn't choose to stay in the Qingyun Realm to cultivate, but returned to the Lesser Qingyun Realm!]
[Crimson Moon's whereabouts were unknown, but the battles between alien races and human cultivators were constantly happening…]
[You changed your identity and joined the front lines of Heavenly Demon City, becoming a thousand-man captain fighting against the alien races…]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 340: Immersive Simulation for a Century, Aiming for the Endless Sea
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this.
"Good, if I want to comprehend swordsmanship…then the battlefield is the most suitable place!"
"And the Heavenly Demon City front lines are still the best place to hone my swordsmanship…"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued:
"I wonder if this simulation can allow me to cultivate my swordsmanship to the third realm?"
Su Xing felt anticipation. From now on, he only needed to steadily improve his strength and comprehend the Dao of Space.
Thinking this, Su Xing's gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[The grievances between Qingyun Sect and Heavenly Demon Prison were intertwined, and to be cautious, you didn't reveal your true identity.]
[Instead, you continued to charge into the front lines of the battlefield, and to better temper yourself, you only used your body refinement cultivation and swordsmanship to fight on the battlefield.]
[But even so, your strength still overwhelmingly crushed the alien races, rebuilding the Heavenly Abyss Army.]
[In the blink of an eye, five years passed…]
[In the 35th year, within just five years, you went from a thousand-man captain to a general on the front lines of Heavenly Demon City, your military achievements second only to the Heavenly Demon Generals.]
[The Heavenly Abyss Army, in just five years, single-handedly absorbed tens of thousands of cultivators, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of alien races, and became the number one fighting force on the front lines of Heavenly Demon City.]
[And you also fought and cultivated on the front lines every day, your cultivation rising day by day.]
[In the blink of an eye, forty years passed…]
[In the 75th year, your body refinement cultivation became increasingly profound, your physical strength increased daily, and you were getting closer and closer to achieving Great Witch Body Tempering Art's third realm.]
[The battles on the battlefield also made your swordsmanship increasingly exquisite.]
[Perhaps because of the effectiveness of the previous surprise attack on Crimson Moon, no red-eyed alien races appeared on the battlefield at this time, the alien races were suppressed by humans, and the cultivators of the Lesser Qingyun Realm were taking the lead!]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction after seeing this.
"Good, it seems that Crimson Moon is indeed missing…even if she's not dead, she probably won't be able to resurrect for hundreds of years!"
"Although the surprise attack on Crimson Moon caused heavy casualties on Earth and the loss of a Great Yi Golden Immortal, it seems like the benefits outweigh the losses?"
Crimson Moon's delayed appearance might allow the Lesser Qingyun Realm to survive, or at least delay its demise by hundreds of years.
"Then next, it's time to cultivate swordsmanship…and the Dao of Space!"
No matter what, each opportunity for immersive simulation couldn't be wasted…
Thinking this, Su Xing silently said:
"Use immersive simulation, duration one hundred years!"
[Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, consuming 36,500 points of energy origin, remaining energy origin 1,726,755 points…]
The simulation prompt sound fell, and Su Xing's consciousness entered the simulated world.
…
The next second, Su Xing appeared on the city wall of Heavenly Demon City.
In the distance, there was a sense of killing, on the desolate land, countless corpses were scattered everywhere.
There were the remains of human cultivators, from the Nascent Soul and Mahayana stages, to Immortal Realm corpses, all scattered here.
But there were even more alien corpses…
Countless foul-smelling flesh and blood corpses were scattered on the ground, and many alien races were frantically devouring the flesh and blood of the corpses, constantly replenishing themselves.
Alien races could consume their own kind to enhance their combat power, which was also an insurmountable disadvantage for humans in battle.
This place, three thousand miles north of Heavenly Demon City, was an important front-line battlefield.
In the simulation, the Heavenly Abyss Army led by Su Xing was stationed here!
As soon as Su Xing entered the simulated world, he looked up at the sky. The azure sky was in stark contrast to the deadly land below the city wall…
"As expected…Crimson Moon is gone, the sky has returned to normal?"
Su Xing muttered, then his gaze sharpened.
Suddenly, a sharp cry came from the sky, and a black raptor, like a mountain, swooped down.
The entire sky above the city was plunged into darkness…
This was a powerful alien god with immense divine power! Comparable to a Heavenly Immortal!
The terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire city…
On the city wall, countless cultivators looked towards Su Xing, but there wasn't much panic in their eyes.
Su Xing stood up slightly, his heart moved, and the spirit sword, Ink Ice, appeared in his hand.
A refreshing coolness flowed from the hilt into Su Xing's heart, a sense of connection.
Then, Su Xing leaped into the air, and in an instant, he unleashed dozens of sword qi, like a spiderweb, towards the alien bird.
The sword light filled the sky, instantly cutting the alien race comparable to a Heavenly Immortal into hundreds of pieces!
The foul-smelling flesh and blood scattered outside the city, staining a large area of land red…
Su Xing struck with one sword, then put away the sword in his hand and slowly gave the order:
"Today, we advance another eight hundred miles to the north, and drive the alien races out of this area!"
The thousands of Heavenly Abyss Army cultivators below the city wall were filled with excitement upon hearing this, respecting Su Xing as if he were a god!
"Yes, General!"
"Yes, General Su!"
The orders echoed through the ranks, and Su Xing stood up slowly and returned to his cave mansion within the city.
He had given similar orders countless times during his previous immersive simulations, so it was second nature to him.
What Su Xing needed to do was to eliminate the high-end combat power of the alien races, and the rest of the task of driving them away could be left to his subordinates, the Heavenly Abyss Army.
After all, with over a hundred Immortals within the Heavenly Abyss Army, they weren't pushovers…
In his mansion within the city, Su Xing glanced at the recent situational reports and nodded slightly:
"Good, after Crimson Moon's interference ceased, the situation in the Lesser Qingyun Realm is very good!"
"Then, I can focus on cultivation…"
…
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed.
In the 77th year of the simulation, Su Xing announced his seclusion to the outside world and began to comprehend the Dao of the Sword.
Within the Spiritual Field Paradise, Su Xing sat alone under an old tree, the sound of a spirit liquid stream gurgling nearby, creating a deep and tranquil atmosphere.
Su Xing sat at a table carved from profound wood, with a celadon teapot on it.
He took out three pieces of Enlightenment Tea leaves, brewed them with spring dew pure water, and Su Xing began the first brewing of the Enlightenment Tea.
In the steaming tea, the tea leaves slowly unfurled, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
"It's time…"
Su Xing sensed the temperature of the Enlightenment Tea in his hand and carefully took the first sip.
In just a few breaths, Su Xing felt a significant increase in his comprehension ability.
Then, Su Xing eagerly activated the Great Wisdom talent…
Under the combined effects of the Enlightenment Tea, Great Wisdom as Foolishness, and Great Accomplishment Comes Late, Su Xing's cultivation for one year was equivalent to several decades for ordinary cultivators!
The Innate Sword Body talent also revealed its power at this moment…
As the warm tea entered his mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed throughout his body, Su Xing felt that his mind seemed to merge with the sword intent, and the mysteries of the Dao of the Sword rippled in his mind's eye.
Su Xing closed his eyes, allowing this understanding to settle in his heart.
Time flowed, and three years later, Su Xing took the second sip of Enlightenment Tea.
This time, Su Xing felt that the sword intent around him was clearer, as if it were within reach, as if he could see invisible sword qi cutting through the air, and every breath was in rhythm with the sword qi.
Su Xing's state of mind seemed to rise with it, his understanding of the Dao of the Sword deepened.
Another three years passed, and Su Xing took the third sip of Enlightenment Tea. At this moment, his body trembled, and an unprecedented feeling surged through his heart.
He seemed to hear the sword whispering, to feel the sword's emotions.
After the three sips of Enlightenment Tea were completely digested, nine years passed slowly.
…
In the 88th year of the simulation, Su Xing slowly stood up, sensing his comprehension of the Dao of the Sword, and nodded slightly:
"Good, in just nine years, my comprehension of the Dao of the Sword has made a small breakthrough!"
"Although I'm still some distance from the third realm of swordsmanship, at this rate, I should be able to smoothly enter it at the latest during the next simulation!"
"However, the results of this comprehension still need to be tempered in battle!"
This was also the reason why Su Xing chose the Heavenly Demon City front lines for his immersive simulation.
It wasn't overly dangerous, and there were enough battles for Su Xing to hone his swordsmanship and quickly enter the third realm of swordsmanship!
It should be known that at the second realm of swordsmanship, each breakthrough might take thousands of years.
But Su Xing was able to advance to a higher level in just nine years, showing how rapid his progress was.
"Then, all I need to do is fight!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he left the cave mansion, appearing on the front-line battlefield.
His subordinate deputy commander quickly informed Su Xing of the situation over the past few years.
The Heavenly Abyss Army had absorbed quite a few Immortals from other worlds in these years.
These Immortals all heard of Su Xing's reputation.
Therefore, although Su Xing had been away from the Heavenly Abyss Army for nine years, humans were still at an absolute advantage on the battlefield, steadily suppressing the alien races!
"Give me a report of the Earth Immortal realm and above alien races that have appeared on the battlefield over the years…"
Su Xing casually ordered.
At his position, he no longer needed to search for alien races himself.
His subordinates would naturally provide Su Xing with a complete report.
Su Xing only needed to go to the location of the high-level alien races and carry out decapitation strikes.
Soon, Su Xing received several reports. After memorizing the content of these reports, Su Xing set off.
In the next three years, the number of alien gods that died at Su Xing's hands numbered in the hundreds!
Almost every three to five days, an alien god would die at Su Xing's hands!
It should be known that without Crimson Moon's interference, although the alien races were numerous, they were not inexhaustible.
Su Xing charged onto the battlefield for a full three years!
He even killed several alien races above the Heavenly Immortal realm!
With each strike, Su Xing could glean new insights into the essence of the Dao of the Sword from the enemy's reactions, and his path of swordsmanship became even more profound through this baptism of blood and fire.
In the 91st year of the simulation, Su Xing's reputation on the battlefield grew louder.
Su Xing was not only the soul of the Heavenly Abyss Army, but also the role model for swordsmanship in the hearts of all cultivators in the Lesser Qingyun Realm.
And Su Xing himself, through constant combat, gradually transformed the insights he gained from the nine years of Enlightenment Tea into a part of his own swordsmanship.
Now, almost all cultivators in the Lesser Qingyun Realm knew that there was a sword cultivator in Heavenly Demon City, possibly at the True Immortal realm!
His swordsmanship was fierce, and killing ordinary Heavenly Immortals was like slaughtering chickens and dogs!
Moreover, Su Xing's reputation was not low in the dozens of Lesser Thousand Worlds near the Lesser Qingyun Realm, and more and more people joined the Heavenly Abyss Army.
In this way, another two years passed.
…
One day, Su Xing was in his cave mansion, and he said with some puzzlement:
"Strange, in this simulation…I don't seem to have been selected for the Genius Ranking?"
"Could it be that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has already discovered my cultivation level? With True Immortal realm cultivation, it's unrealistic to enter the Human Ranking…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. The Genius Ranking's Human Ranking mainly included cultivators at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
True Immortal realm cultivators were included in the Earth Ranking!
The Earth Ranking included the most dazzling one hundred True Immortal and Xuan Immortal realm cultivators from the Three Thousand Worlds…
But to enter the Earth Ranking, one would at least need to demonstrate the combat power of a Xuan Immortal and possess terrifying potential!
However, Su Xing's current combat power was clearly far from the level required to enter the Earth Ranking.
"But…the stronger the alien races that appear later, the less I need to worry about my reputation being insufficient…"
Su Xing finished speaking and began to consume the Enlightenment Tea for the second time.
In the blink of an eye, another nine years passed.
In the 100th year of the simulation, Su Xing woke up from his comprehension.
"Good, in nine years, my comprehension of the Dao of the Sword has deepened further…next, I'll continue to fight on the battlefield!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he appeared on the battlefield.
From then on, Su Xing continued to carry out decapitation strikes against the alien races.
Through continuous battles, Su Xing's swordsmanship cultivation continued to improve!
And at the same time, Su Xing's killing intent also increased!
…
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the 150th year of the simulation.
At this time, Su Xing had completely digested the insights from the three cups of Enlightenment Tea.
And under Su Xing's leadership, the Heavenly Abyss Army had become an invincible force in the Lesser Qingyun Realm!
One day, Su Xing was in his cave mansion, summarizing his cultivation insights over the past few decades.
"Counting the time, this is the 73rd year of my immersive simulation…"
"The three cups of Enlightenment Tea have been completely digested…but my swordsmanship, the distance to the third realm, seems to be lacking…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. He knew that to smoothly enter the third realm of swordsmanship, he not only needed comprehension but also some opportunities, which couldn't be forced.
"Whatever, I won't rush to comprehend the Dao of the Sword for now…I need to continue comprehending other Daos!"
"And more importantly, the creation of Enlightenment Pills!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he took out nine wrinkled Enlightenment Tea leaves.
"Before, I had just barely begun to comprehend the creation of Enlightenment Pills…the defective Enlightenment Pills I created already had the effect of two or three Spirit Awakening Pills!"
"This time, I'll focus on comprehending the creation of Enlightenment Pills and strive to successfully create top-grade Enlightenment Pills!"
Su Xing's eyes flashed with excitement.
Then, he swallowed a Spirit Awakening Pill, activated the Great Wisdom state, and began the creation of Enlightenment Pills!
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
During this month, Su Xing created four Enlightenment Pills.
One of them was successfully created, but it was of defective quality, and the other three were all failures…
Su Xing looked at the only Enlightenment Pill he had in his hand, smacked his lips and said:
"What a pity, only one was successfully created…another one was almost successful!"
"But thankfully, I still have five more chances, let's continue creating Enlightenment Pills!"
Having said that, Su Xing decisively took the Enlightenment Pill, using the enhanced comprehension to continue his creation.
With the help of the Enlightenment Pill, Su Xing's comprehension of Enlightenment Pill creation and even the Dao of Pills rapidly improved!
However, time was limited, and in one month, Su Xing could only create Enlightenment Pills four times at most.
…
A month later, Su Xing looked at the two Enlightenment Pills in his hand and sighed:
"Although my comprehension has greatly improved, the number of times I've created the pills is still far from enough!"
"For a type of pill, to want to reach the pinnacle with only nine attempts is unrealistic! I'm not even close to the Lesser Completion realm…"
Su Xing looked at the two Enlightenment Pills in his hand, both of defective quality.
Although the success rate of pill creation had improved, it seemed like he was still some distance from Lesser Completion…
Su Xing looked at the Enlightenment Tea leaves in his hand and muttered:
"This is my last chance, I must at least create one normal-quality Enlightenment Pill!"
Having said that, Su Xing did not hesitate and began the final creation attempt!
Finally, Su Xing achieved his wish and created a normal-quality Enlightenment Pill!
This meant that Su Xing's skill in creating Enlightenment Pills had successfully reached the Lesser Completion realm!
And creating one Enlightenment Pill only took a week. In the remaining twenty or so days, Su Xing didn't waste any time and continued to comprehend the sword intent.
…
A month later, Su Xing slowly stood up and nodded:
"Good, I have one normal-quality Enlightenment Pill and one defective Enlightenment Pill left…"
"The two pills combined will allow me to achieve the equivalent of 150 years of comprehension in two months!"
Su Xing pondered for a moment. Now was not the time for him to consume these two pills.
"Counting the time, it's already the 150th year of the immersive simulation…and there's still no news of Crimson Moon on the front lines of the Lesser Qingyun Realm!"
"Perhaps, Crimson Moon is truly dead?"
Su Xing stroked his chin and pondered.
"Then, it seems there's no need to stay in the Lesser Qingyun Realm…"
"This time, I have plenty of time, maybe I should try going to the Endless Sea!"
In previous simulations, Su Xing spent decades traveling from the Qingyun Realm and trying to reach the Endless Sea, but he was too far away.
But in this simulation, Su Xing had at least two hundred more years, enough to cultivate along the way and try to reach the Endless Sea!
"Through the Endless Sea…I can reach the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, and even from the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, I can go to other great realms!"
"I wonder, what's the situation like in the other great realms of the Three Thousand Worlds now?"
Su Xing thought this.
Su Xing informed some of his trusted subordinates that the situation in the Lesser Qingyun Realm was stable, and that he would be leaving to travel to other worlds.
Although they were very reluctant, Su Xing still set off.
In the next twenty-seven years, Su Xing drove the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, traveling from the Lesser Qingyun Realm, crossing over a hundred Lesser Thousand Worlds and hundreds of void nodes.
Along the way, Su Xing saw many things, and both his experience and state of mind improved significantly.
During this period, Su Xing consumed the two Enlightenment Pills, and his comprehension of the Dao of Space further deepened.
…
The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
He used the Memory Divine Ability, and the memories of the simulation slowly flowed back, restoring clarity to Su Xing's eyes.
"Good, the gains from this immersive simulation are not small…although I didn't fully achieve my goals, the progress is still remarkable!"
Su Xing nodded slightly. He knew that as his cultivation realm grew higher, it would be difficult for him to make breakthroughs of several small realms in a single simulation like before.
"Then, next, I need to successfully enter the Great Witch Body Tempering Art's third realm!"
Su Xing's gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[In the 180th year of the simulation, you arrived at a Lesser Thousand World called the Xuan Iron Realm.]
[This world is rich in Xuan Iron, which is extremely strong, even Mahayana realm cultivators find it difficult to destroy…]
[What interested you more was that this Xuan Iron had a similar effect to the Alien Metal, although it wasn't visually impressive, but a palm-sized piece could weigh dozens of tons!]
[And based on your experience, this Xuan Iron, like Alien Metal, might be a very good source of energy…]
[So, you bought some Xuan Iron and memorized the location of this realm, continuing south towards other Lesser Thousand Worlds.]
[In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed…]
[In the 200th year, in just a few decades, you traveled through fifty or sixty different Lesser Thousand Worlds.]
[Along the way, you discovered that many Lesser Thousand Worlds were often famous for their specialties or for famous cultivators.]
[And with your increasing cultivation and deeper comprehension of the Dao of Space, your speed became faster and faster.]
[At the same time, although you've been in different worlds for these years, you haven't neglected your body refinement cultivation.]
[The hundreds of thousands of Star Stones obtained from the Star Realm are enough for you to cultivate to the third realm's pinnacle.]
[In the 250th year of the simulation, your body refinement cultivation advanced further, and the third realm's peak was not far away.]
[In these nearly a hundred years, you've passed through thousands of void nodes and traveled through hundreds of Lesser Thousand Worlds.]
[At this point, you are very far from the Lesser Qingyun Realm…this place is already in the southern part of the Qingyuan Realm, and many cultivators have never even heard of the Lesser Qingyun Realm.]
[Of course, the reputations of Qingyun Sect and Tianyuan Sect are still widespread here.]
[In fact, every few Lesser Thousand Worlds, you can see branches of the two sects, occasionally recruiting talented cultivators to join.]
[This makes you marvel at the strength of the top forces in the Three Thousand Worlds…]
