Chapter 343: Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Third Layer Perfection, Repairing the Star Moon Shuttle!
In the real world, Su Xing's eyes narrowed upon seeing this.
Based on his observations, some individuals on Earth indeed possessed the aptitude for cultivation!
However, the issue was that Earth had been devoid of spiritual energy for tens of thousands of years, making the probability of mortals developing spiritual roots extremely low.
Even if they did, the probability was one in a million, and most of those who did develop them had pseudo-spiritual roots, not even comparable to the most common five-element mixed spiritual roots...
"So, after arriving in the Xiaoyun Realm, due to the nourishment of spiritual energy...some descendants of the Great Xia human race have developed cultivation aptitudes?"
"Or perhaps, due to the red moon's seal on Earth, the cultivation aptitude of the Earth human race was lost?"
Su Xing nodded slightly. Currently, these were the only two plausible explanations.
But regardless, the ability of the Earth human race to cultivate was undoubtedly a good thing.
At least the human race would have a certain degree of self-preservation in the future.
"However, the most important thing right now is my own growth. As for the Earth human race, I only need to have a clear conscience..."
Su Xing didn't intend to spend too much energy protecting the Earth human race. For now, his priority was to enhance his own strength!
"So next...continue battling on the front lines and cultivate my Sword Dao!"
[You spent several years gradually understanding the changes in the Earth human race…]
[You discovered that after these humans arrived in the Xiaoyun Realm, many of them began to gradually develop spiritual roots.]
[Furthermore, some true spiritual root cultivators were born amongst them!]
[It was as if…the power that originally belonged to them was sealed, and now that seal had been completely broken!]
[What surprised you even more was that not only were newborn babies developing spiritual roots, but even the first batch of residents who came from Earth began to gradually manifest spiritual roots!]
[Among them, the vast majority were ordinary people without any specific professions…a small portion of professionals were also able to absorb spiritual energy and embark on the path of cultivation.]
[Thus, you passed down some basic cultivation methods to them and established cultivation academies within the Great Xia, helping these ordinary people enhance their strength and allowing them to protect themselves in the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[In this way, fifteen years passed…]
[In the fortieth year, after settling the affairs of the Great Xia human race, you devoted more energy to your own cultivation.]
[You practiced the Zhengyi Breathing Technique daily to ensure the growth of your body tempering cultivation and regularly provided mana to the Luotian Mirror.]
[At the same time, you could also take out various spiritual herbs and resources from the Luotian Mirror to support your own cultivation…]
[In this way, another ten years passed.]
[In the fiftieth year, you concealed your identity and joined the front lines of the Demon City. In just ten years, you became a general on the front lines of the Demon City.]
[You established the Tianyuan Army and began recruiting cultivators from various parts of the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[Because of the existence of the Luotian Mirror, you were able to obtain a large number of Gathering Spirit Flowers and countless divine abilities and cultivation techniques. These techniques held a fatal attraction for independent cultivators!]
[Therefore, more and more cultivators joined the Tianyuan Army.]
[In the seventy-fifth year, you fought on the front lines, honing your swordsmanship while cultivating the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture, your strength steadily increasing.]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded in agreement.
"That's right! If you were to ask what independent cultivators in the Three Thousand Worlds desire the most..."
"It wouldn't be spiritual liquid or spirit stones, but cultivation techniques! High-level cultivation techniques and divine abilities are true treasures!"
Su Xing vividly remembered his early cultivation days, struggling and fighting for a low-grade Changchun Scripture.
Until later, he obtained the cultivation techniques of several sects from the Immortal Martial Era dungeon...
And then inheriting the Luotian Sect's cultivation techniques...Su Xing finally freed himself from the anxiety of lacking cultivation techniques.
But not every cultivator was as fortunate as Su Xing.
In the Three Thousand Worlds, while ordinary cultivation techniques might be easily obtained, high-level ones were the treasured inheritances of major sects and would never be easily revealed.
But Su Xing now...possessed the entire inheritance of the Luotian Sect!
In the Luotian Mirror's Scripture Pavilion, countless cultivation techniques and divine abilities were all at Su Xing's disposal!
It was no exaggeration to say that from the fourth floor and above of the Luotian Sect's Scripture Pavilion, any randomly chosen cultivation technique or divine ability could stir up a bloody storm in the Xiaoyun Realm, or even the Qingyuan Region!
Those Heaven Rank cultivation techniques, supreme secret arts…not only were they coveted by ordinary cultivators, but even Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and True Immortals would eagerly seek them!
"The White Emperor Tower, the largest independent cultivator organization in the Three Thousand Worlds, is able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the top sects…apart from the strength of its tower master, the White Emperor himself!"
"The White Emperor Tower has a complete reward and punishment system that provides these ordinary independent cultivators with sufficient access to cultivation techniques and divine abilities!"
Su Xing thought to himself.
The biggest attraction of large sects for independent cultivators was their abundant inheritance.
However, large sects tend to have more restrictions, while independent cultivators mostly seek freedom. Therefore, many independent cultivators are unwilling to join large sects and instead choose the relatively more relaxed White Emperor Tower.
"Excellent, once I go to the Xiaoyun Realm…selling a few divine abilities casually will earn me a massive fortune!"
Su Xing felt a slight anticipation before regaining his composure and saying:
"But for now, I should continue to improve my Sword Dao comprehension step-by-step..."
"Activate Immersive Simulation, duration 75 years!"
[Ding, you have successfully activated Immersive Simulation…consuming 27,375 energy points, remaining energy 1,399,377 points…]
With the simulation prompt, Su Xing's consciousness entered the simulated world.
In the simulated timeline, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and reappeared on the front lines of the Demon City battlefield.
He heard the reports of his subordinate commanders.
"General Su, eight thousand miles northwest, a powerful alien god has appeared…"
Su Xing nodded slightly and said, "Over the next ten years, gather more intelligence on these alien gods and submit it to me!"
"After ten years, I will personally deal with them…"
Su Xing finished speaking and returned to his cave dwelling, patiently waiting.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
In the seventy-seventh year of the simulation, Su Xing turned one hundred years old, and his Late Bloomer talent triggered.
So, Su Xing brewed a pot of Enlightenment Tea and began to comprehend the Sword Dao.
Powerful sword intent flickered around Su Xing, and with the help of the Enlightenment Tea, his Sword Dao comprehension gradually increased.
In the blink of an eye, another nine years passed…
In the eighty-sixth year of the simulation, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, emerging from his state of comprehension. Feeling his Sword Dao comprehension, he nodded and said:
"Excellent! I'm only one step away from the third realm of the Sword Dao…then next, it's time for practical application!"
Su Xing ordered his subordinates to retrieve the intelligence gathered over the past ten years.
It included the locations of hundreds of alien gods.
Among them were some alien gods comparable to True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals.
Su Xing memorized all this information, then took a sip of Enlightenment Tea, held his spirit sword, Ink Ice, and stepped out, instantly appearing thousands of miles away.
Soon, Su Xing arrived near the first powerful alien god.
Without any further words, the battle began…
…
Su Xing spent six years eliminating hundreds of alien gods.
During this time, his Sword Dao comprehension continued to grow.
In the 18th year of the Immersive Simulation, one day, Su Xing felt a sudden insight, as if the sword energy he unleashed had become even more terrifying.
A casually released sword energy could even instantly kill an alien True God!
Su Xing carefully experienced the changes within his body. After a moment, a joyful expression appeared on his face:
"The sword intent in my chest is endless, the sword energy stretches for tens of thousands of miles…the third realm of the Sword Dao has finally been achieved!"
Reaching the third realm of the Sword Dao was like entering a new world for Su Xing!
The most obvious change was that the upper limit of the power of his Protective Sword Aura would increase further!
Three thousand six hundred Protective Sword Auras…were far from Su Xing's current limit!
"Whew…then next, I'll cultivate my Protective Sword Aura to its limit!"
After eliminating the last few alien gods, Su Xing returned to the Demon City and began comprehending the Protective Sword Aura.
In the blink of an eye, nine years passed.
In the twenty-seventh year of the Immersive Simulation, Su Xing finished his cultivation. Sensing the improvement of the Protective Sword Aura, he nodded in satisfaction:
"Excellent, four thousand two hundred Protective Sword Auras…their power has increased by at least double compared to before!"
"If I unleash all my Protective Sword Auras, combined with the Unprincipled Talent, I can kill a nascent stage True Immortal!"
Su Xing let out a long breath.
It's important to note that the difference between killing a True Immortal and severely injuring them is huge!
Immortals above the True Immortal level are all considered powerful figures and rarely die.
Even a mid-stage True Immortal fighting an early-stage True Immortal would find it extremely difficult to achieve a kill!
"The third realm of the Sword Dao…for now, it's sufficient!"
"Then next…I need to figure out how to repair the Star Moon Shuttle!"
"But before repairing the Star Moon Shuttle, I need to improve my Array Dao and Artifact Refinement Dao…"
Su Xing pondered for a moment. He could naturally comprehend Artifact Refinement and Array Dao himself, but having a master guide him would be much more efficient!
"If it were the old me, I would have chosen to go to the Qingyun Sect…and used sect contributions to seek guidance from a master..."
"But now, I have a better way!"
Su Xing's mind stirred, and he appeared within the Luotian Realm.
In the Luotian Realm, Shennong Youtian, along with hundreds of cultivators skilled in nurturing spiritual energy, was cultivating fields for Su Xing.
Upon seeing Su Xing's arrival, Shennong Youtian stopped his work and bowed to Su Xing:
"My Lord, what are your instructions for this visit?"
Su Xing got straight to the point, saying:
"I wonder if there are any senior experts within my Luotian Sect who are skilled in artifact refinement?"
Shennong Youtian nodded.
"Of course…Luo Qi, a second-generation disciple of the Luotian Sect, was a Golden Immortal cultivator from several eons ago…"
"Although his cultivation is only at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, his comprehension of the Artifact Refinement Dao surpasses even some Golden Immortals specializing in artifact refinement…"
"Senior Brother Luo Qi's comprehension of the Artifact Refinement Dao has likely surpassed the level of a Grandmaster Artifact Refiner…"
"During a battle several eons ago, he almost died, but a sliver of his spiritual essence was preserved by the Luotian Mirror…"
Pausing for a moment, Shennong Youtian continued:
"If My Lord is willing to pay a portion of his cultivation as a price, it should be possible to awaken Senior Brother Luo Qi…"
Su Xing's eyes lit up upon hearing this. In the simulation, losing some cultivation didn't come with any costs.
But if he could receive guidance from an Immortal who surpassed the Grandmaster Artifact Refiner level, it would be a huge gain!
So, Su Xing seized the opportunity and asked:
"Then, are there any other senior experts who are proficient in Array Dao?"
Shennong Youtian nodded. "Of course…"
…
Su Xing followed Shennong Youtian to the Luotian Assembly Grounds, where every Immortal and cultivator was familiar to Shennong Youtian.
Under Shennong Youtian's guidance, Su Xing successfully revived two Golden Immortals!
Of course…this wasn't a true resurrection.
It was merely using the power of the Luotian Realm to grant them temporary free will.
The price Su Xing paid was about fifty years of cultivation!
Su Xing's cultivation, which he had painstakingly cultivated for fifty years, was directly lost…
This caused Su Xing to plummet from the mid-stage of the early-stage True Immortal realm to the early-stage True Immortal realm…
"Whew, anyway, this simulation doesn't take out my cultivation, so it's fine if I drop a bit!"
Su Xing didn't mind this small cost. Instead, he turned to the two individuals in front of him and asked:
"I wonder what specific areas of expertise you two possess?"
A slightly stockier cultivator with well-defined muscles stepped forward and said:
"My Lord, please don't call me senior…I specialize in the Artifact Refinement Dao. I can refine all eighteen types of weapons, as well as various unorthodox hidden weapons…"
"But my greatest expertise lies in refining large-scale immortal artifacts…I've crafted several top-grade innate treasures, and one high-grade innate treasure called the Star Moon Shuttle, ranked 78th on the Treasure List…"
"In my life, I have refined over seven thousand eight hundred immortal artifacts…every single one a masterpiece!"
Su Xing was stunned for a moment before a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Wow, so the Star Moon Shuttle was crafted by this old man!
Su Xing exclaimed that his luck was incredible. With this old man's help, how could he possibly fail to repair the Star Moon Shuttle?
"Excellent, excellent!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and turned to the other, thinner cultivator, asking:
"And you, senior, your area of expertise is Array Dao, correct? What kind of Array Dao are you proficient in?"
This Array Dao Immortal hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing his words:
"My old self specializes in everything from concealment, stealth…to gathering spirit and killing arrays, a total of dozens of types…"
"But after painstakingly studying the Array Dao for hundreds of thousands of years, if I had to say what I'm best at, it would be defensive and stealth arrays…"
"The arrays on the Star Moon Shuttle that the old man over there refined back then were my handiwork…"
Su Xing was even more delighted after hearing the Array Dao Immortal's words.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
It truly was a stroke of luck!
Su Xing needed Array Dao and Artifact Refinement Dao to repair the Star Moon Shuttle.
Now, the two masters who created the Star Moon Shuttle were right in front of him. How could he possibly fail to repair it?
So, Su Xing immediately said:
"In that case, I would be grateful if you two…could teach me about the creation and repair of the Star Moon Shuttle!"
The two readily agreed, and immediately began to explain things to Su Xing.
Su Xing took a sip of Enlightenment Tea, his comprehension greatly enhanced. He could instantly grasp a tenth or two of what the two were explaining, feeling his Array Dao and Artifact Refinement Dao comprehension rapidly increase.
The parts he didn't immediately understand, he could slowly comprehend through further contemplation later…
Thus, Su Xing learned about the key points of artifact refinement, the three core elements of Array Dao.
From the Star Moon Shuttle's power source, the arrangement and repair of its external protective arrays, both Immortals explained everything clearly to Su Xing.
…
In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed.
During these twenty years, Su Xing's Array Dao and Artifact Refinement Dao comprehension steadily improved.
In the fiftieth year of the Immersive Simulation, the two Immortals' revival time was up, and their consciousness dissipated.
Su Xing left the Luotian Realm and returned to the Xiaoyun Realm.
"Excellent, having these two guide me truly saved me a lot of time!"
Su Xing muttered.
"I still have one pot of Enlightenment Tea left, with a total of 18 years of comprehension time unused…I can't let it go to waste!"
Su Xing pondered for a moment. Currently, he needed to improve his Spatial Dao!
And the best place to comprehend the Spatial Dao was the Nine Heavens Domain.
So, Su Xing spent several years traveling to the Nine Heavens and successfully ascended to the third heaven.
…
Three years later.
In a hidden realm on the third heaven, Su Xing killed a peak True Immortal Void Beast, nodding in satisfaction:
"The Good Fortune Talent is truly remarkable!"
"I've only been in the Nine Heavens for a year, and I've already encountered three Void Beasts!"
"If I kill a few more, I'll have all the treasures needed to comprehend the Spatial Dao!"
Su Xing took a step, leaving the hidden realm and heading to the next one to explore.
…
The Immersive Simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world, slowly opening his eyes and using his Memory Divine Ability.
"Excellent, cultivating with the Void Beast's crystals has truly been twice the result with half the effort!"
"At this rate, it should only take three or five Immersive Simulations to successfully advance my Spatial Dao to the fourth realm!"
Pausing, Su Xing continued:
"And the creation of the Dao Enlightenment Pills, I've refined nine batches of Dao Enlightenment Pills, with seven batches successfully created…and six of them are of normal quality!"
"Using these seven Dao Enlightenment Pills to comprehend the Spatial Dao has made my progress even faster!"
Su Xing was very satisfied.
If his Spatial Dao advanced further, and he could also bring out the Star Moon Shuttle, his future travels between Earth and the Xiaoyun Realm might be shortened significantly!
Perhaps…Su Xing could even return to Earth in just a week!
"The Immersive Simulation time has been used up…so next, I'll continue to improve my body tempering cultivation!"
"Also, repairing the Star Moon Shuttle is crucial!"
Su Xing's mind stirred, and his gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[In the 150th year, after decades of comprehension, you made significant progress in the Spatial Dao.]
[Next, you plan to go to the Green Wood Realm to find the damaged Star Moon Shuttle and purchase some materials for its repair along the way.]
[The Green Wood Realm is extremely far from the Qingyun Realm, even for you, it would take over a hundred years to reach.]
[During this time, you will naturally not slacken in your cultivation.]
[In the 151st year, after making preparations, you pilot the Star Moon Shuttle and officially set off for the Green Wood Realm…]
[In the 180th year, during your journey through the void, your body tempering cultivation has slightly improved…]
[In the 200th year, during your journey through the void, your cultivation successfully breaks through to the second stage of the True Immortal Realm!]
[In the 230th year, traveling through the void…]
[In the 280th year, your body tempering cultivation has advanced further, getting closer and closer to the perfection of the third layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture…]
[In the 300th year, after over 150 years of traversing the void, you cross hundreds of small thousand worlds and successfully arrive at the Green Wood Realm!]
[You follow the location in your memory and find the Star Moon Shuttle…]
[Next, you cultivate while repairing the Star Moon Shuttle.]
[However, repairing an innate treasure is quite difficult. Even with the guidance of the two Golden Immortals, it still takes a long time.]
[In the 350th year, your body tempering cultivation successfully reaches the perfection of the third layer! You begin to search for a way to break through to the fourth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture…]
In the real world, Su Xing's face lit up upon seeing this.
"After three hundred years of arduous cultivation…the third layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture has finally reached perfection!"
The third layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture grants the ability to Transform Body and Shape, manipulate the power of stars…one's height can reach tens of thousands of feet, possessing the ability to destroy stars and worlds!
"But the cultivation of the fourth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture…will only be more difficult!"
Su Xing recalled the memories in his mind.
The fourth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture allows one's physical body to become comparable to that of a True Immortal, capable of limb regeneration. As long as vital parts like the heart and head aren't injured, one can consume a certain amount of Yuan Qi and essence blood to quickly regenerate limbs!
It's important to note that the physical bodies of Immortals are extremely precious!
Once damaged, it's incredibly difficult to repair…
Many Immortals have suffered irreparable damage and lingering injuries that affect their foundation because they were severed during a battle, despite spending great costs and searching for heavenly materials to repair themselves.
But if the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture reaches the fourth layer, one can completely ignore this risk!
"Tsk tsk…the fourth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture only allows for limb regeneration…"
"But I've heard that if you cultivate it to the later layers, you can even achieve blood regeneration! As long as the soul remains, one will be eternally immortal!"
Su Xing's heart yearned for it.
"And the cultivation of the fourth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture requires a spiritual herb for assistance…this herb is called the Heaven Mending Flower!"
"Legend has it that it was nurtured by the tears of the ancient Nüwa when she mended the heavens…it has the ability to make up for innate deficiencies and repair the body!"
Su Xing recalled the memories in his mind.
This Heaven Mending Flower is naturally a top-tier immortal herb, and it has already gone extinct.
Finding it in a hidden realm or even commissioning the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to purchase it would be incredibly difficult…
However, the Heaven Mending Flower does exist within the Luotian Realm!
"I just need to have Shennong Youtian cultivate the Heaven Mending Flower for me…and the auxiliary materials needed for the fourth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture will be complete!"
Su Xing increasingly felt the power of the Luotian Mirror.
The inexhaustible treasures and lost divine abilities within it are the foundation of Su Xing's future path!
"So, right now, only one goal remains…repairing the Star Moon Shuttle!"
"Once I repair this shuttle, I should have enough energy left to bring it out, right?"
Su Xing felt anticipation in his heart, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[After cultivating the third layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture to perfection, you devote more time to repairing the Star Moon Shuttle.]
[During the repair process, your Artifact Refinement and Array Dao realms also steadily increase…]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 344: The Star Moon Shuttle's Power, Finally Reaching the Xiaoyun Realm!
[Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.]
[In the 380th year, you had a thorough understanding of the internal and external structure of the Star Moon Shuttle. With your Array Dao and Artifact Refinement Dao comprehension, the repair project, although vast, was steadily progressing.]
[This year, you had already repaired most of the Star Moon Shuttle. Only a few dozen arrays and the reconstruction of the external hull remained before it could be completely finished.]
[Over the years, you continuously gathered the materials needed to repair the Star Moon Shuttle, and the repair work progressed steadily.]
[In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed.]
[In the 400th year, after decades of your efforts, this immortal vessel, ten thousand feet long and capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people, was finally successfully repaired!]
[And you also witnessed the power of this high-grade innate treasure…]
[Whether it was the complexity of its internal arrays, the preciousness of the materials used, or its displayed travel speed, it was far superior to the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel!]
[After repairing the Star Moon Shuttle, the first thing you did was experience this masterpiece of an immortal artifact firsthand.]
[You entered the main control room, activated your immortal energy, and transformed the Star Moon Shuttle into a form ten feet long. In this form, the Star Moon Shuttle's travel speed was the fastest!]
[Similar to the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel, the Star Moon Shuttle also had the ability to freely change its size, as small as an inch and as large as ten thousand feet…]
[What satisfied you even more was the power of the Star Moon Shuttle's propulsion and defensive arrays.]
[Each activation of its protective array could withstand attacks from True Immortal Void Beasts!]
[It also had three propulsion gears. The first gear allowed for ten million miles of travel per day, an energy-saving mode that could be powered by spirit stones, suitable for long-distance travel.]
[The second gear could reach a maximum speed of thirty million miles per day, several times faster than the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel in the void, but it consumed a large number of spirit stones.]
[The third gear could reach a maximum speed of one hundred million miles per day, requiring a massive injection of mana to maintain and was difficult to control for anyone below the Golden Immortal realm.]
[With your current cultivation and mana, you could only barely activate the second gear, maintaining a travel speed of twenty million miles per day…]
[You tried piloting the Star Moon Shuttle, departing from the Green Wood Realm. In just ten years, you traversed dozens of small thousand worlds, roaming freely in the vast universe…]
In the real world, Su Xing couldn't help but clasp his hands together in joy upon seeing this.
"Wow, with this Star Moon Shuttle, it's truly like swapping a shotgun for a cannon!"
"Even at full power, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel can only travel ten million miles per day, but with the Star Moon Shuttle, the speed is doubled!"
"This means that a trip to the Xiaoyun Realm, which originally took me about twenty-two days…will now only take about eleven days!"
"That's a full fifty percent time saving!"
"And as my cultivation grows stronger, the speed will increase even further!"
Pausing, Su Xing continued:
"More importantly, the Star Moon Shuttle has long-range travel capabilities!"
"With this immortal vessel, my puzzle of crossing the Endless Sea has been completed by two-thirds…I just need to break through to the Nascent Immortal realm before I can attempt it!"
Su Xing's heart was filled with excitement.
It's important to remember that even Golden Immortal powerhouses wouldn't dare to easily cross the Endless Sea.
However, Su Xing possessed a hidden route map and the Star Moon Shuttle…plus his abundant mana and strength exceeding those of cultivators at the same level, giving him the courage to try.
"Excellent, with the Star Moon Shuttle successfully repaired, the goal of this simulation has also been achieved…"
"I just wonder how much energy it will take to bring out the Star Moon Shuttle?"
Su Xing didn't know yet and planned to explore this after the simulation ended.
"But right now, there's one more thing I need to try…having the cultivators in the Luotian Realm help cultivate the Heaven Mending Flower!"
"This flower is crucial to my breakthrough to the fourth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture, so I can't be careless!"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the 410th year, you pilot the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel and arrive at a remote small world.]
[This unnamed small world isn't even considered a small thousand world. The strongest individual in the world only possesses the power of the Unity Stage…]
[You decide to stay in this world to safely study the cultivation method of the Heaven Mending Flower.]
[You enter the Luotian Realm and ask Shennong Youtian about the cultivation of the Heaven Mending Flower.]
[Shennong Youtian informs you that the Heaven Mending Flower has indeed become nearly extinct, but the Luotian Sect still has some of its seeds.]
[If you need them, Shennong Youtian is confident that he can cultivate mature Heaven Mending Flowers within a hundred years…]
[You are overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately entrust this plan to Shennong Youtian to execute. His skill in nurturing spiritual energy is no less than yours. With his help, you can save a lot of time.]
[So, you wait for news from Shennong Youtian while improving your own cultivation.]
[In the blink of an eye, another forty years pass…]
[In the 450th year, after two hundred years of arduous cultivation, your cultivation is only one step away from the third stage of the True Immortal Realm.]
[But after the True Immortal realm, each step of cultivation becomes incredibly difficult. Even with enough spiritual liquid for daily cultivation, you can no longer maintain the rapid progress of the past.]
[In the 460th year, your cultivation finally advances further, reaching the third stage of the True Immortal Realm.]
[In the 463rd year, one day, you feel uneasy, and your Avoid Danger Talent sends out a frantic warning.]
[You know that Qingyunzi has found you…]
[Before Qingyunzi finds you, you ask Shennong Youtian about the progress of the Heaven Mending Flower's cultivation.]
[He informs you that the Heaven Mending Flower has been successfully cultivated and will mature in less than fifty years…]
[You nod in satisfaction and patiently wait for Qingyunzi's arrival.]
[Three days later, Qingyunzi arrives. He has been devoured by the Evil Aspect and lost most of his sanity.]
[But you still seek a glimmer of hope. You admit that you have inherited the Luotian inheritance and that the treasure, the Luotian Mirror, is on you!]
[Upon hearing your words, Qingyunzi's Evil Aspect shows a look of surprise and stops searching your soul.]
[You seize the opportunity and offer to hand over the Luotian Mirror in exchange for your life…]
[Then, you try to activate your Sea of Consciousness and summon the Luotian Mirror's main body.]
[Forcibly summoning the Luotian Mirror has already caused considerable damage to your cultivation foundation…]
[But Qingyunzi is very pleased with it. He transforms into a black light and enters the Luotian Realm, seemingly to undergo the Luotian Realm's test.]
[A moment later, Qingyunzi returns to you with a grim expression and immediately attacks you.]
[You already know what happened. Even with Qingyunzi's talent, he only managed to obtain First-Class Authority…]
[Furthermore, it's below your Authority!]
[And this, Qingyunzi clearly cannot accept…]
[Faced with the attack of a demigod, you have no power to resist…]
[You die!]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing sighed.
"Sigh, as expected…I still died at the hands of Qingyunzi…"
Su Xing knew that after Qingyunzi was devoured by the Evil Aspect, the Luotian inheritance became an obsession for him.
Therefore, Su Xing had planned to abandon the Luotian Mirror to gain more simulation time…
After all, it was only abandoning it in the simulation. In the next simulation, Su Xing could obtain it again.
However, Su Xing didn't expect that even if he was prepared to abandon the Luotian Mirror, he would still be unable to escape death!
"The Luotian Mirror can be claimed by multiple masters…but Supreme Authority is unique!"
"Even if the Luotian Mirror is claimed by Qingyunzi, he will only have First-Class Authority…and I can revoke his Authority at any time!"
"So, how could Qingyunzi possibly tolerate my existence?"
Su Xing sighed. He didn't expect that even a Da Luo Jinxian or a demigod couldn't obtain Supreme Authority from the Luotian Mirror…
Just how high are the aptitude requirements for the Luotian Mirror?
"Tsk tsk, in the eyes of the Luotian Mirror, I must be a top-tier genius. Perhaps since the beginning of chaos…no one has had a better aptitude than me?"
Su Xing naturally knew that his "aptitude" was artificially inflated.
After all, his cultivation time wasn't just a mere thousand years. Including the duration of each simulation…he had been cultivating for more than ten thousand years!
"There might be geniuses in the Three Thousand Worlds with better aptitudes than me…but at the same level, my age is definitely the youngest!"
"It's probably this aspect…that caused the Luotian Mirror to misjudge?"
Su Xing felt a bit helpless. Since he had already obtained the Luotian Mirror and successfully claimed it.
Then, Su Xing could hardly escape the entanglement of Qingyunzi's Evil Aspect…
Either escape to another major region or resolve the issue of Qingyunzi's Evil Aspect!
"Currently, it seems that escaping to another major region has a higher chance of success…"
Su Xing only needs to slowly improve his cultivation, and he believes that he will soon see a wider world!
"Sigh, well…since the goals of this simulation have been achieved, let's see the simulation rewards!"
Su Xing's mind stirred, and he looked at the reward list for this simulation.
[Blood Sacrifice Artifact]:Golden Talent, selling price 10 Energy Origin points.
[Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Third Layer Perfection]:An inherited body tempering technique from the ancient Witch Clan, cultivated to the third layer perfection, possessing physical strength comparable to a peak Heavenly Immortal, capable of manifesting Heavenly Dharma Images and the Heavenly Gang Divine Ability, All Things Heavenly Thunder Attraction. Selling price 300,000 Energy Origin points.
[Third Stage True Immortal Cultivation]:Survived the Three Tribulations of Immortals, achieving True Immortal, the Dao is within reach, lifespan extended to one eon! Selling price 600,000 Energy Origin points!
[Star Moon Shuttle]:Spatial-type innate treasure, as small as an inch, like a shuttle in the hand, and as large as a thousand feet, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people, capable of traveling through the void, easily traversing hundreds of void nodes, only Golden Immortals can fully utilize its power. Its full-speed travel through the void is comparable to a Great Perfection Golden Immortal. Currently, it has been completely repaired, requiring a Golden Immortal to unleash its full potential, selling price 700,000 Energy Origin points.
"The Blood Sacrifice Artifact Talent, although it's a Golden Talent…doesn't seem to be useful for now. If I need to refine artifacts later, I can use it temporarily…after all, the side effects are probably significant!"
Su Xing pondered for a moment, without hesitation, he decisively said:
"I choose to bring out the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Third Layer Perfection cultivation…and the Star Moon Shuttle!"
Thinking of the various benefits the Star Moon Shuttle offered, Su Xing felt a surge of anticipation.
"With this Star Moon Shuttle, I can reach the Xiaoyun Realm within a week!" Su Xing thought.
[Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Star Moon Shuttle, consuming 700,000 Energy Origin points, remaining Energy Origin points 699,377…]
[Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Third Layer Perfection cultivation…consuming 300,000 Energy Origin points, remaining Energy Origin points 399,377…]
Two consecutive prompts sounded, and Su Xing's Energy Origin points quickly dwindled, leaving less than four hundred thousand in just a moment…
Su Xing looked at the spent Energy Origin points and felt a pang of heartache.
But he could only comfort himself: "It was all worth it!"
With those words, a surge of energy poured into Su Xing's body.
Su Xing's physical body cultivation rapidly grew in an instant, finally breaking through to the third layer perfection. At this moment, Su Xing's pure physical strength was enough to easily defeat late-stage True Immortal cultivators!
"Tsk tsk, the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture…truly profound!"
"If I use it to its full potential, drawing the power of the stars into my body…perhaps after reaching the fourth layer, I won't be much worse than a Nascent Immortal…"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
But what surprised Su Xing the most wasn't the progress of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture, but the palm-sized vessel "model" that appeared in his hand!
The innate treasure, the Star Moon Shuttle!
Su Xing carefully examined the palm-sized "model" in his hand, marveling at its beauty while feeling its immense weight.
"Tsk tsk…worthy of being a high-grade innate treasure! Just looking at the Star Moon Shuttle's appearance, its aura is far superior to the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel!"
Su Xing's mind stirred, and he separated from the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel, then transformed it into a palm-sized vessel and put it away.
Next, Su Xing casually tossed the Star Moon Shuttle, and it transformed into a ten-foot-long immortal vessel, appearing before Su Xing.
Its streamlined hull, with a black exterior, looked incredibly imposing.
And on the hull, the engraved sun and moon patterns, and the pair of jade-white hands beneath them.
As if with a single gesture, one could grasp all the stars and moons…
Su Xing couldn't wait to enter the Star Moon Shuttle. After becoming somewhat familiar with the control arrays, he couldn't help but love it.
Next, Su Xing couldn't wait to experience the thrill of piloting it.
Activating the propulsion array to the second gear…
The Star Moon Shuttle transformed into a meteor, rapidly speeding towards its designated route…
Su Xing felt the Star Moon Shuttle's powerful propulsion and the exhilarating experience of traversing the void, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Tsk tsk, the difference between the Star Moon Shuttle and the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel…is like the difference between a Ferrari and a Samp!"
Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel: "So, love disappears, right?"
…
Su Xing piloted the Star Moon Shuttle and sped towards the Xiaoyun Realm.
The journey that originally required half a month was completed ahead of schedule in just a week!
On February 24, 2026, at noon, when the verdant world node appeared in Su Xing's spiritual sense, Su Xing quickly sat up.
Through the Star Moon Shuttle's front crystal window, Su Xing saw the Xiaoyun Realm tens of thousands of miles away!
"Finally, we're here!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, his heart filled with excitement.
"The cultivation world that's right in front of me…finally, I'm about to make first contact!"
In the simulation, Su Xing had come to this realm dozens or even hundreds of times, but it was only a simulation!
Now, Su Xing was personally arriving here, and his heart was naturally filled with excitement. The feeling was different…
In just a few breaths, the Xiaoyun Realm was getting closer and closer to Su Xing.
Seeing this, Su Xing activated the Star Moon Shuttle's stealth array.
In an instant, the Star Moon Shuttle vanished into the void, and even its aura completely disappeared!
This was the power of the Star Moon Shuttle's stealth array!
Even Golden Immortal cultivators…would find it difficult to perceive the Star Moon Shuttle's existence…
Su Xing piloted the Star Moon Shuttle and landed in the northern part of the Ten Thousand Mountains. After confirming that there were no cultivators or high-level demonic cultivators within a thousand miles, Su Xing landed safely and put away the Star Moon Shuttle.
With a gentle leap, Su Xing's feet touched the land of the Ten Thousand Mountains in the Xiaoyun Realm.
Feeling the faint spiritual energy flowing in the air, Su Xing exclaimed:
"Here…is this the Xiaoyun Realm?"
Looking up, the sky of the Xiaoyun Realm was a remarkably bright blue.
And the lush, towering trees that reached hundreds of feet in the distance were something that could never be seen on Earth…
After experiencing the Xiaoyun Realm's spiritual energy for a while, Su Xing shook his head slightly:
"As expected, in an environment where spiritual energy is depleted…the spiritual energy here is still far inferior to the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven!"
Pausing, Su Xing's gaze turned towards a certain direction:
"There, that must be Xiaoyun City?"
"But before going to Xiaoyun City…I need to disguise myself and conceal my aura!"
Su Xing said, using his disguise technique to change his appearance.
The disguise technique Su Xing learned wasn't just a temporary change of appearance.
It was combined with "body tempering techniques" to truly alter the bones and features within his body!
In this way, Su Xing's bone structure completely transformed into a different appearance…
Only his facial features retained a three-point resemblance to his previous self…
After a moment, Su Xing transformed from a tall and handsome young man of 1.8 meters to a 2.3-meter-tall, muscular, burly man!
"Then, I'll call myself Su Ye!"
"Yes, a peak Earth Immortal cultivator specializing in body tempering and Sword Dao!"
Su Xing's mind stirred, and he adjusted his aura to the peak of the Earth Immortal realm…
Peak Earth Immortal cultivation was sufficient in the Xiaoyun Realm.
Apart from a small number of Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals, few cultivators would dare to provoke someone at this level.
"If I directly reveal my True Immortal cultivation, it might be a bit too high-profile…and attract unnecessary attention!"
"But for my upcoming transactions…I need a certain level of cultivation to deter others and prevent them from coveting me…"
Su Xing thought to himself, then used his spatial power to take a step and instantly appear hundreds of miles away.
The reason he didn't use the Earth Splitting Golden Light Divine Ability was to avoid being noticed by anyone with ulterior motives…
Just an hour later, Su Xing appeared tens of thousands of miles away, outside the White Emperor City.
…
Outside the White Emperor City, Su Xing examined the magnificent city.
"Tsk tsk, worthy of being an immortal city…it's far beyond what the Demon Suppressing Pass can compare to!"
Su Xing sighed inwardly, then strode into the city.
At this moment, cultivators came and went endlessly in Xiaoyun City. Most of them wore Taoist robes and had a demeanor befitting Immortals…even though the vast majority of them were just small immortals at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage, their demeanor was still quite impressive…
As soon as he entered the city, Su Xing encountered several low-level cultivators blocking his path.
"This…Immortal! You look a bit unfamiliar. Are you visiting White Emperor City for the first time?"
Su Xing looked at the few low-level cultivators in front of him, no more than Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage.
Su Xing instantly understood the origins of these low-level cultivators…
The "Hundred Knowledgeable Ones" of White Emperor City!
Of course, "Hundred Knowledgeable Ones" was just a self-aggrandizing title these low-level cultivators used.
Most cultivators preferred to call them "errand boys"!
In short, these cultivators were mostly below the Nascent Soul stage. They made a living by guiding outsiders, providing information, and earning some "tips"!
For example, which herb shop in White Emperor City had the best and cheapest spiritual herbs.
Which artifact refining workshop had the best weapons and artifacts…
These "Hundred Knowledgeable Ones" could tell you everything.
They even knew which brothel had the most beautiful fairies…or which couples were secretly cheating on each other…they knew all the gossip!
Su Xing was certainly not a stranger to White Emperor City. His familiarity with it was no less than these "Hundred Knowledgeable Ones."
But in reality, Su Xing was here for the first time. To better fit his current "Su Ye" identity.
Su Xing decided to hire these "Hundred Knowledgeable Ones"…
So, Su Xing casually waved his hand, pointed at the three Hundred Knowledgeable Ones in front of him, and said:
"You…you, and you! The three of you, take this Immortal around White Emperor City!"
"If this Immortal is pleased, you won't be short of a few coins!"
Speaking, Su Xing casually threw out seven or eight low-grade spirit stones.
The three low-level cultivators, seeing Su Xing's arrogant demeanor, immediately lit up. An unspoken thought arose in their minds.
A big customer!
Like these three cultivators, the Hundred Knowledgeable Ones were considered the lowest-level cultivators in White Emperor City.
They had no particular skills, but they had been in White Emperor City for a long time and were relatively familiar with its situation.
However, White Emperor City didn't see many new faces every day…even if there were unfamiliar cultivators, they might not need the help of the Hundred Knowledgeable Ones.
Even if they did need help…it might not fall to them!
Therefore, throughout the year, when business was good, they could barely earn twenty or thirty low-grade spirit stones.
Most of it was spent on the little ladies in the West City's pleasure quarters…
They had never encountered a cultivator as "arrogant" as Su Xing!
"Understood! This Immortal! Any instructions…the three of us are practically omniscient within White Emperor City…"
The three cultivators immediately followed Su Xing, acting like obsequious dogs.
The other "Hundred Knowledgeable Ones" at the city gate instantly regretted their inaction.
They had also noticed that Su Xing, this "unfamiliar cultivator," had an extraordinary aura, and they couldn't even tell what his cultivation was.
But Su Xing's disguised appearance didn't exactly make him seem easy to get along with, so they hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to step forward, missing this opportunity.
"Immortal…where did you come from?"
"No wonder this humble one heard the magpies chirping at the gate this morning!"
"It turns out it was because of encountering an Immortal!"
These cultivators flattered Su Xing endlessly, making him blush slightly.
With a wave of his hand, he threw out another ten or so low-grade spirit stones.
After walking with these cultivators for a while, Su Xing finally spoke:
"Ahem, this Immortal…this old man is new to White Emperor City and is here to purchase a batch of low-grade ores!"
"I wonder if you know which market in White Emperor City sells high-quality and inexpensive ores?"
