Chapter 373: Simulation End, Return to Earth!
The Real World, waking up, Su Xing suddenly remembered something.
Bai Xiaoxiao's mother, who had been "missing" for a hundred years, had miraculously returned from the dead.
Furthermore, her cultivation had skyrocketed from the Unity Stage to the Immortal Realm!
Such a massive leap in cultivation strength wasn't easily achieved.
But if all of this was related to the Descending Church... or even the Crimson Moon, it would make sense!
Su Xing also understood why the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciples were sent to that world... perhaps it was the Crimson Moon's plan!
In other words, the Crimson Moon hadn't directly killed those disciples, but instead let them cultivate in that world.
What was the purpose?
"Could it be... to bait a bigger fish!?"
Su Xing's brows furrowed.
Based on the Descending Church's scheming, this information wasn't necessary to be passed to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
But if it was meant for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, it must be to cripple the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and human forces.
"But the leader of this operation was Xiao Zhanlong... a Taishang Jinxian (Great Paragon Immortal)!"
"Wait..."
Su Xing suddenly thought of something. What if the Descending Church's target was the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's Taishang Jinxian?
"It seems the Descending Church's plan is quite large!"
"Although it's just speculation, this information should still be told to Xiao Zhanlong!"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[Based on the information you obtained, you speculate that the Descending Church's goal this time is to eliminate the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's high-level combat power.]
[You immediately informed Xiao Zhanlong about this information. Although Xiao Zhanlong was somewhat skeptical and wanted to investigate further... he still chose to immediately lead several surviving disciples out of this Lesser Thousand World.]
[However, before you could leave, the entire Lesser Thousand World suddenly underwent a drastic change...]
[The originally clear sky instantly turned dark... then, endless crimson appeared in the sky of this Lesser Thousand World, covering the entire world!]
[All the ordinary cultivators in the world seemed to be influenced by this Crimson Moon and instantly lost their minds...]
[This includes the Bai siblings!]
[Xiao Zhanlong immediately sensed the gravity of the situation and wanted to take you all away.]
[But the entire world was already sealed off, and communication talismans could not transmit information in or out.]
[What shocked you even more was the Crimson Moon that appeared in the sky... and that figure in a black robe, Blood Two!]
[After that battle, Blood Two was severely injured and theoretically wouldn't recover for a millennium... but now, he has used some unknown method to fully recover his injuries.]
[Facing a fully recovered Da Luo Jinxian (Great Calamity Immortal) and the siege of countless red-eyed異族(aberrant beings), you have almost no chance of winning...]
[Blood Two quickly found you and engaged in battle with Xiao Zhanlong.]
[The battle at the Taishang and Da Luo levels is beyond your ability to participate.]
[Although Xiao Zhanlong is incredibly powerful, he is no match for a Da Luo Jinxian...]
[Soon, you are captured...]
[Including you, all the elders become sacrifices in a blood ritual...]
[Your consciousness gradually dissipates...]
[You died!]
[Ding, the simulation is over!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing's brow was tightly knit.
"The Crimson Moon, it seems they are still relentless!"
"This blood ritual... could it be to completely revive the Crimson Moon?"
"Not only will they sacrifice a large number of cultivators... but they also need high-level cultivators, even a Taishang Jinxian, as sacrificial offerings?"
"The Descending Church's ambition is truly enormous..."
It was foreseeable that with a Taishang, several Jinxian (Golden Immortals), and Xuanxian (Celestial Immortals) as sacrificial offerings, the Crimson Moon would undoubtedly recover rapidly!
And once the Crimson Moon recovers, the red-eyed 異族 (aberrant beings) will return... bringing disaster to the Heavenly Mechanism Domain.
"Phew... in the next simulation, I must prevent this from happening!"
Thankfully, it was all a simulation. Su Xing still had ample time to grow stronger.
"However, the gains from this simulation were truly significant!"
Su Xing looked at the reward list.
[Joy Plus One]: Golden Talent, priced at 10 Energy Primordia.
[True Immortal Realm Sixth Stage Cultivation]: Successfully weather the Three Immortal Tribulations, achieve True Immortality, the Dao awaits, lifespan extends to a Yuan Hui (eon)! Priced at 900,000 Energy Primordia!
[Spiritual Domain Cultivation Results]: After selection, your understanding of Spiritual Domains significantly increases, your own Spiritual Domain's coverage reaches two thousand zhang, the power of spells and divine abilities within the Spiritual Domain greatly increases, Dao comprehension can be freely utilized, priced at 130,000 Energy Primordia.
[Spatial Dao Comprehension]: Lost in the endless sea, and traveled through the endless sea for a hundred years, obtaining a wealth of comprehension of the Spatial Dao, priced at 70,000 Energy Primordia.
In this simulation, Su Xing's cultivation had surged, breaking through three minor realms, reaching the True Immortal Realm Sixth Stage!
In addition to this, his comprehension of various Daos, especially the Sword Dao, improved rapidly!
Of course, there were also unforgettable memories. His karmic connection with the Bai siblings was profound. In the future, if he returns to the Heavenly Mechanism Domain, the Bai siblings will be a good breakthrough point.
"However, in this simulation, I still need to choose cultivation!"
Without hesitation, Su Xing silently recited:
"I choose to bring out the True Immortal Sixth Stage cultivation... and the Joy Plus One talent!"
[You successfully brought out the golden talent Joy Plus One, spending 10 Energy Primordia, remaining Energy Primordia 1,207,820...]
[You successfully brought out True Immortal Realm Sixth Stage cultivation, spending 900,000 Energy Primordia, remaining Energy Primordia 307,820...]
As the consecutive prompts fell, Su Xing's aura began to surge.
True Immortal Realm Third Stage peak... True Immortal Fourth Stage...
True Immortal Fifth Stage...
Finally, Su Xing's cultivation skyrocketed to True Immortal Sixth Stage!
Furthermore, True Immortal Seventh Stage was within reach...
Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and murmured:
"Whew, True Immortal Seventh Stage is not far off... at this rate, at most two more simulations, I can smoothly break through to True Immortal Perfection!"
"True Immortal Sixth Stage peak, my True Qi is more than twice as strong as before!"
"However, my energy reserves are really insufficient..."
Su Xing rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
His 300,000 Energy Primordia, while sounding like a lot, was barely enough to bring out cultivation.
Currently, he needed to obtain more Energy Primordia as soon as possible!
"Traveling to the Heavenly Mechanism Domain, it seems too risky for now..."
"Perhaps after my Qi cultivation breaks through to Xuanxian, I can safely go..."
Su Xing pondered for a moment and opened his attribute panel to take a look.
[Name: Su Xing]
[Age: 23]
[Occupation: Cultivator]
[Cultivation: True Immortal Realm Sixth Stage, Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Fifth Layer Entry]
[Cultivation Techniques: Ruyi Visualization Diagram, Luo Tian Transformation Immortal Art, Zhengyi Breathing Technique, Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Small Zhoutian Stargazing Method]

[Special Constitution: Heavenly Thunder Sacred Body (Incomplete)]
Compared to before, Su Xing's strength had significantly improved.
In the entire Three Thousand Worlds, Su Xing's Xuanxian level strength was considered that of a powerful figure.
However, the dangers Su Xing faced were truly terrifying!
The Crimson Moon, like a sharp sword hanging over his head.
If he didn't completely eliminate the Crimson Moon, Su Xing wouldn't have a moment's peace.
"Every immersive simulation rapidly enhances my Dao comprehension..."
"Now, I have several Dao comprehensions successfully entering the Fourth Realm... these are the foundations for me to transcend my level and fight!"
Su Xing increasingly felt that high-level cultivators, Xuanxian and Jinxian level battles, relied on divine abilities, spells, and Dao comprehension!
Taking Sword Immortal Bai Di as an example, the reason Bai Di was so powerful was because his comprehension of the Sword Dao had reached the peak of the Three Thousand Worlds!
"The Three Thousand Worlds, the situation is becoming increasingly strange..."
"The Heavenly Mechanism Domain, because of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's presence, is relatively stable... but the Azure Origin Domain, Azure Cloud Zi is preoccupied, and the various worlds probably won't last long..."
"The only pity is that I didn't meet the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master this time, which is a bit of a regret..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly. He still had one more simulation opportunity.
But Su Xing didn't intend to use it immediately.
"Next, I should be able to go to Azure Cloud City again to see if I can get some more resources from those stalls..."
Su Xing thought to himself. With his Good Fortune talent, obtaining a million Energy Primordia in Azure Cloud City shouldn't be difficult, right?
Thinking this, Su Xing used the Spatial Dao and in just half a day, arrived at Azure Cloud City from outside Heavenly Demon City.
For the next half-month, Su Xing continued to search for valuable resources within Azure Cloud City.
...
New Era 2026, April 17th.
Su Xing appeared in Bai Di City, preparing to leave the Little Azure Cloud World.
He glanced at the Energy Primordia on the simulation panel.
A full 1.2 million!
In half a month, Su Xing had continuously purchased items in Azure Cloud City, spending tens of millions of spirit stones to obtain this energy.
The Azure Cloud Sect recruitment ceremony was about to end. If Su Xing wanted to obtain this much energy again, he would probably have to wait for several years.
"Whew, it's time to leave the Little Azure Cloud World and return to Earth..."
Su Xing felt a slight anticipation in his heart.
He had been away from Earth for two or three months, and Su Xing's heart was filled with longing to return.
Without any hesitation, Su Xing found a spatial node, activated the Star Moon Shuttle, and prepared to return to Earth.
The Star Moon Shuttle turned into a white light and headed towards Earth.
With Speed Dao Fourth Realm, Spatial Dao Fourth Realm... and the Star Moon Shuttle's power as a mid-grade innate treasure.
The speed of his journey through the void was many times faster than when he came!
Only two days passed.
On April 19th, Su Xing successfully arrived near Earth.
"Sure enough... as the simulation said, there's an invisible restriction here. If you don't carefully sense it, you probably won't be able to find Earth's location!"
Su Xing's Spatial Dao and Cause and Effect Dao had both reached the Fourth Realm.
But even so, Su Xing's perception of Earth was somewhat blurry.
Su Xing spent half a day before he found a slightly weaker point in Earth's restriction.
Then, Su Xing used the Cause and Effect Dao to temporarily open a temporary passage.
Before entering the passage, Su Xing also performed a divination, confirming that there were no dangers before entering Earth.
Returning to Earth, Su Xing let out a long breath.
"Whew... finally back!"
"First, I'll go to Great Xia, and see Jin Congxue..."
Su Xing took a step, appearing tens of thousands of miles away.
In a breath, Su Xing smoothly returned to Kyoto. After changing his appearance and concealing his aura, Su Xing went to the villa.
In the familiar villa, Su Xing saw the long-awaited figure.
"Sister Xue!" Su Xing called out.
Jin Congxue, upon hearing the call, trembled, turning her head.
Her eyes were already filled with a hint of redness. Without any hesitation, she rushed into Su Xing's embrace.
"Where have you been all this time! Why did you only come back now..."
Jin Congxue hugged very tightly. Su Xing didn't speak, just gently patted Jin Congxue's back, softly comforting her:
"Silly girl, haven't I come back now..."
Jin Congxue raised her head, looking at Su Xing, and suddenly said:
"Can you restore your original appearance?"
Su Xing was taken aback by the question, but still nodded slightly. His appearance shifted, restoring his original form.
Jin Congxue, seeing this, no longer concealed her emotions, and directly kissed him.
The two passionately kissed for a while, and after lingering for a long time, Su Xing was slightly surprised:
"Sister Xue, we haven't seen each other for over two months... you've actually broken through to the Golden Core Stage?"
Jin Congxue proudly raised her chin:
"Of course... this miss's talent..."
"By the way, where have you been all this time? Can you tell me?"
Su Xing shook his head slightly:
"I went to a very distant place, farther than you can imagine... but now that I'm back, Earth should have changed somewhat!"
Su Xing's tone carried a hint of profound meaning. Jin Congxue nodded in confusion after hearing this.
Su Xing listened to Jin Congxue talk about the changes on Earth over the past two months, and then temporarily returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
Returning to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing took out the several storage rings that Jin Congxue had given him.
Each storage ring was packed full.
Exotic metals, white equipment, various props, Abyss Stones...
Su Xing's heart moved, and he tried to exchange these items for simulation energy.
The simulator's prompt sounded in his ears.
[Ding, detecting a large number of energy-containing materials, worth 360,000 Energy Primordia...]
[Ding... worth 290,000 Energy Primordia...]
[Ding...]
A series of prompts sounded. Su Xing roughly calculated and nodded with satisfaction:
"Not bad, in just over two months, I've accumulated nearly a million Energy Primordia... it seems the Tarot Society has developed further during this time..."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 374: Eight Million Energy Primordia, Su Xing's Windfall!
Currently, including the Energy Primordia accumulated in the Little Azure Cloud World.
Su Xing's energy reserves once again exceeded two million!
"Whew, my Energy Primordia reserves are finally not so tight..."
"Moreover, besides the Tarot Society, there's a large sum of energy that hasn't been harvested... I need to retrieve that energy soon!"
Before leaving Earth, Su Xing had made numerous arrangements.
Including the Tarot Society, the Puppet Organization's trades in the Seven Nations Twelve Domains... and the Great Xia military's transactions!
Although Su Xing was absent from Earth for over two months, these transactions continued.
Especially the accumulation from the Great Xia military.
In two months, Lu Yuanwu must have accumulated quite a few exotic metal ores.
And Su Xing had just obtained a large batch of pills from the Little Azure Cloud World!
Among them, the most notable were the Rebirth Transformation Pills that Su Xing himself had refined.
If Su Xing wanted to, he could even forcibly use Rebirth Transformation Pills to create a body-tempering Immortal!
Even if it was just the lowest Human Immortal Body, it would be much stronger than the so-called "God-level Professionals" of the ordinary variety.
"On Earth, humanity's overall strength is still too weak... it's time to further enhance it!"
"However, before trading with Lu Yuanwu, I need to make a trip to the Seven Nations Twelve Domains..."
Su Xing murmured, intending to first go to the Seven Nations Twelve Domains to collect all the goods accumulated from the trades during this period.
Su Xing's figure flickered, disappearing from the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
With a single step, Su Xing traversed tens of thousands of miles, arriving at the Twelve Domains in a breath.
In the Twelve Domains, each puppet core had a soul imprint planted by Su Xing.
With just a thought, Su Xing could make all the puppets deliver all the goods and resources.
In just half a day, Su Xing successfully retrieved all the goods accumulated by the puppets in the Seven Nations Twelve Domains over the past two months.
These goods filled dozens of storage rings!
After retrieving these goods and resources, Su Xing took out some talismans and pills to replenish the Puppet Organization's supplies, ensuring enough for the next six months of trades.
After finishing all this, Su Xing returned to Great Xia.
In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing's heart moved, and he heard the simulator's prompt.
[Ding, detecting a large number of energy-containing materials, worth 390,000 Energy Primordia, absorb?]
[Ding, detecting... worth 186,000 Energy Primordia... absorb?]
[Ding, detecting...]
Another dozen or so prompts echoed. Su Xing, seeing the soaring energy on the panel, couldn't help but grin.
With a series of prompts, Su Xing's Energy Primordia surged to an unprecedented number!
4,763,654!
Nearly five million Energy Primordia!
Su Xing looked at the surging Energy Primordia, feeling an unprecedented sense of security.
"These Energy Primordia are enough for me to break through my Qi cultivation to Xuanxian, and even further increase it!"
"After Xuanxian, breaking through a realm will probably require a million Energy Primordia... but these are not enough for me to break through to Jinxian..."
Su Xing sighed. If he could make a decisive push to Jinxian, Su Xing's safety would be greatly assured!
After all, Taishang Jinxian wasn't that common in the Three Thousand Worlds...
And at Jinxian strength, the Crimson Moon wouldn't be able to easily kill Su Xing.
"Nearly five million Energy Primordia... and there's a batch of exotic metal from the Great Xia military that I haven't obtained yet, I wonder how much it's worth..."
Su Xing felt a slight anticipation in his heart and changed his appearance and concealed his aura, preparing to find Lu Yuanwu.
His divine sense spread like a tide across the entire Kyoto city. Su Xing quickly found Lu Yuanwu's figure in a room within the military zone.
The next second, Su Xing appeared behind Lu Yuanwu.
"Who!?"
Lu Yuanwu, seeing the sudden appearance of a figure in the room, was startled.
But upon seeing Su Xing's appearance, Lu Yuanwu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward:
"Senior! You've finally returned... I've missed you so much during the time you were gone!"
Su Xing, seeing Lu Yuanwu's excited appearance, wasn't surprised. He simply asked calmly:
"During the time I was gone, did anything unusual happen in the military?"
Lu Yuanwu, after carefully considering, shook his head:
"Nothing major..."
"The pills Senior provided us with before have greatly increased the overall strength of humanity compared to two years ago, it's incredible!"
"Especially the King-level and above professionals... this year, hundreds of new ones will probably emerge!"
Lu Yuanwu's emotions were excited when he said this.
In the past, precious King-level professionals were now exploding in number, their status almost on par with the Grandmaster professionals of the past.
However, Lu Yuanwu's own strength was firmly at the Legendary level, still one of the top combat powers of humanity on Earth.
Lu Yuanwu then thought of something else and hesitated before saying:
"Right, Senior... if I had to say something that's changed."
"During the time you were gone... the strength of the 異族 (aberrant beings) in the Demon Suppression Pass seems to have increased."
"If it weren't for the tremendous increase in human strength these days... I'm afraid those 異族 (aberrant beings) would have broken through the Demon Suppression Pass..."
Su Xing, after hearing Lu Yuanwu's words, pondered for a moment.
The strength of the 異族 (aberrant beings) was increasing, this was a trend.
Furthermore, the Crimson Moon hadn't shown its power yet... if the Crimson Moon was determined to summon the red-eyed 異族 (aberrant beings).
With the current strength of humanity on Earth, there would be no power to resist...
However, the Crimson Moon seemed to be planning something, and there shouldn't be any major problems within the next few years.
Su Xing treated this as a normal increase in the strength of the 異族 (aberrant beings) and focused on the Descending Church, asking:
"How about the Descending Church... has anything unusual happened?"
Lu Yuanwu, after thinking for a moment, shook his head:
"The Descending Church doesn't seem to have made any major moves... they just had some internal problems... I don't know the specifics."
Su Xing was stunned after hearing this. Internal problems?
Su Xing immediately thought of Luo Shuyin.
Could it be that something happened to Luo Shuyin?
But... everything was fine before.
Su Xing temporarily suppressed the ominous feeling in his heart and asked Lu Yuanwu:
"During this time... the Great Xia military should have accumulated a lot of exotic metal, right?"
"I have some new gadgets here, of very high quality... are you interested?"
Hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu showed a cunning smile, then said with feigned hesitation:
"Senior~ you know, humanity has been walking on eggshells for all these years..."
"Those exotic metals are the accumulation of thousands, tens of thousands of years..."
Before he could finish, Su Xing rolled his eyes:
"Just speak plainly!"
Lu Yuanwu, seeing this, quickly straightened his expression:
"Reporting to Senior, during this period, I have drawn exotic metal from the national treasuries across Great Xia... and also purchased a large amount from foreign countries... indeed, I have obtained a considerable amount of exotic metal!"
Having said this, Lu Yuanwu asked in a low voice:
"I just don't know what kind of 'new gadgets' Senior is referring to..."
Su Xing wasn't angry, knowing that this old fellow was a "see the rabbit, then release the hawk" type of person. If he wanted to get a large amount of exotic metal, he had to give him some bait, right?
So, Su Xing took out three bottles of pills and handed them over, saying:
"This pill is called the Rebirth Transformation Pill... there are three grades."
"They are sixth-order, seventh-order, and eighth-order..."
"Sixth-order Rebirth Transformation Pill can help Martial Emperors break through to Legendary; seventh-order Rebirth Transformation Pill can help Legendary-level professionals break through to Emperor-level, and eighth-order Rebirth Transformation Pill can help Emperor-level professionals break through to Saint-level!"
"How does this quality sound to you?"
Hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu immediately suspected that something was wrong with his ears.
Although the successful trades between Su Xing and him in the past were very impressive, they had never reached the Saint level...
When did Emperor and Saint-level professionals become so cheap? Could they be promoted by taking a few pills?
If someone else had said this, Lu Yuanwu wouldn't have believed it. But the one saying it was Su Xing, whom he trusted one hundred percent!
Lu Yuanwu swallowed, feeling that the pills in his hand were a bit hot.
Pills that could produce Saint-level professionals, even if he sold himself, he wouldn't be able to repay the favor!
"Senior... are the effects of these pills really as miraculous as you described?" Lu Yuanwu's voice trembled slightly.
Su Xing nodded slightly and explained in detail:
"These pills indeed have such effects, but there are some restrictions and conditions for taking them..."
"Sixth-order Rebirth Transformation Pill, given to a Martial Emperor-level professional, take one a month... in about two to three years, they will possess the strength of a power-type Martial Emperor!"
"The seventh and eighth orders follow the same principle..."
"Besides the slightly longer consumption period, there's a crucial point, that prolonged use of these pills may cause some irritability and loss of control in professionals."
"However, these side effects will disappear after stopping consumption..."
"Even so, it's best to have mentally strong professionals take them, and you should also hire some psychologists to regularly provide psychological counseling for these professionals..."
After hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, such powerful pills, if they didn't have side effects, Lu Yuanwu wouldn't know what to say!
Moreover, compared to the enormous benefits... these side effects were nothing!
Now, the only problem was...
Lu Yuanwu, thinking of this, felt embarrassed and asked:
"Senior... these sixth-order pills are too high-level, are there any fifth-order pills to help King-level professionals become Martial Emperors?"
Su Xing nodded and threw another bottle of pills over, saying:
"This is the fifth-order Rebirth Transformation Pill, ten in a bottle, taking it for ten months can help Kings become Martial Emperors..."
"I thought you wanted higher-level pills... but you only want fifth-order pills."
Su Xing sighed.
Lu Yuanwu chuckled awkwardly, was about to speak, suddenly thought of something, swallowed, and said:
"Senior... you mean, there are even higher-level pills!?"
Lu Yuanwu swore that he had never been so shocked in his life!
Eighth-order pills could produce Saint-level professionals... then what about higher-level, ninth-order pills? ...
Lu Yuanwu already had a premonition.
Su Xing then casually threw over another bottle of pills, saying:
"This is the ninth-order Rebirth Transformation Pill, which can help Saint-level professionals become demigod-level professionals..."
Upon receiving Su Xing's affirmative reply, Lu Yuanwu was so shocked that he almost sat down on his butt, barely managing to hold onto the batch of ninth-order Rebirth Transformation Pills.
"This is, a pill that can produce demigod-level professionals!"
Lu Yuanwu's heart was pounding.
"How long has it been since humanity produced a god-level professional?"
"Eight thousand years... or ten thousand years?"
"Since when... has Emperor-level been the ceiling for humanity..."
Thinking of this, Lu Yuanwu's eyes welled up with tears.
"And now... a small bottle of pills can enable humanity to produce demigod-level professionals, beings that crush everything!"
Lu Yuanwu looked at the batch of pills in his hand, as if he saw the hope of humanity.
He saw the future of humanity!
Therefore, Lu Yuanwu didn't hesitate:
"Senior! These pills... no matter the cost, please sell them to us humans!"
"These aren't just pills, they're the future of humanity!"
Su Xing found it hard to empathize. From Lu Yuanwu's, or rather humanity's perspective on Earth, the ultimate peak might be god-level...
But only by leaving this world and going to a wider universe... would one understand.
God-level professionals were nothing more than ants...
But when doing business, Su Xing wouldn't say such things. Instead, he said:
"Make an offer... if I think it's reasonable, I'll sell it to you..."
"I have... a lot of these pills."
Rebirth Transformation Pills weren't valuable to Su Xing.
If Su Xing wanted to, he could spend a simulation opportunity and get tens or hundreds of thousands, even millions of them!
Therefore, Su Xing was essentially giving them away at a discount.
Obtaining Energy Primordia was important... but enhancing humanity's strength was also crucial.
With Su Xing's current strength and status, these pills were just like dust that fell from his fingernails.
Although Su Xing said it lightly, Lu Yuanwu didn't take it lightly at all, and instead said:
"Senior, these days, I have collected a total of 100,000 tons of fourth-order exotic metal... 500,000 tons of third-order exotic metal... and nearly 3 million tons of second-order exotic metal."
"With my authority, I can currently decide to trade all these exotic metals with Senior. I wonder how many pills I can get from Senior in exchange?"
Su Xing was startled after hearing this.
Wow, these exotic metals weren't a small number!
Based on Great Xia's reserves, these exotic metals were probably their most precious resources.
If they were traded, it would probably be difficult to obtain a large quantity in the short term...
Su Xing calculated quickly.
100,000 tons of fourth-order exotic metal are worth 2 million Energy Primordia... 500,000 tons of third-order are worth 1 million Energy Primordia.
3 million tons of second-order exotic metal... worth 600,000 Energy Primordia.
The total transaction amount reached 3.6 million Energy Primordia!
This number was indeed considerable.
But Rebirth Transformation Pills, for humanity on Earth, could be called priceless treasures.
However, considering humanity's own development, and their future role as a vital force against the 異族 (aberrant beings), the price shouldn't be too high.
So, Su Xing thought for a while and said:
"Alright, I'll give you 100 bottles of fifth-order Rebirth Transformation Pills, 50 bottles of sixth-order... 30 bottles of seventh-order, and 10 bottles of eighth-order pills..."
"As for this bottle of ninth-order Rebirth Transformation Pill, consider it a gift, how about that?"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 375: Shocking Change, Luo Shuyin's Death!
Hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu's eyes finally couldn't help but shed tears.
He directly bowed to Su Xing, speaking with genuine emotion:
"Senior, thank you!"
"Everything you've done for humanity, the Great Xia military will remember!"
"Rest assured, Senior, from now on, Lu Yuanwu will always follow your lead. If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask..."
In Lu Yuanwu's eyes, just that bottle of ninth-order Rebirth Transformation Pill was already a priceless treasure.
What's more, Su Xing had also provided so many fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth-order pills.
Lu Yuanwu was confident that with these pills, humanity's overall strength would increase several times over!
The value of these pills far surpassed that of the exotic metals, which were practically useless!
Humanity had possessed so much exotic metal for tens of thousands of years, and yet they were still being suppressed by the 異族 (aberrant beings)?
In Lu Yuanwu's view, just that one bottle of ninth-order Rebirth Transformation Pill was far more valuable than all those exotic metals.
Su Xing looked at Lu Yuanwu before him, his heart touched.
This veteran Martial Emperor... no, newly promoted Legendary, truly had humanity's best interests at heart!
The sincerity in his words was palpable to Su Xing.
But for Su Xing, those pills were truly not very useful, far less valuable than the energy yielded from the transformed exotic metals.
After pondering for a moment, Su Xing said:
"In the future, our trade will continue as before... but I hope you can gather more exotic metal."
"Great Xia's accumulation over thousands of years shouldn't be limited to this, right?"
Su Xing paused, then continued:
"The time left for us is not much... humanity's strength must be further enhanced, and these exotic metals are useless to you... but they are vital resources for me to fight against the 異族 (aberrant beings)."
Hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu felt a little confused.
Although he didn't know what connection exotic metals had with fighting against the 異族 (aberrant beings), Lu Yuanwu still asked:
"Senior, when you say 'time is not much,' what do you mean?"
Su Xing thought for a moment and said:
"You mentioned earlier that the 異族 (aberrant beings)' invasions are becoming more and more severe, and humanity can barely hold them back... that's because the 異族 (aberrant beings) haven't used their full strength to invade Earth!"
"The scale of the 異族 (aberrant beings)' forces is beyond your imagination... if they wanted to, they could probably conquer the entire Earth in a single day!"
"I can tell you this... Earth is not the only world in existence, and almost every world has the presence of 異族 (aberrant beings)!"
"The 異族 (aberrant beings) are so powerful, invading every world simultaneously... that's why Earth has been able to hold out for so long."
Su Xing revealed some things that Earth's professionals wouldn't have access to, but he also withheld some information.
Currently, Su Xing had the ability to protect himself in the Three Thousand Worlds.
He did need to let Lu Yuanwu and the entire Great Xia know some things.
To make Great Xia and Earth feel a sense of urgency, put some pressure on them...
Perhaps they would provide more exotic metals to Su Xing.
After hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu widened his eyes, and after a while, asked:
"Senior, do you mean... aliens really exist!?"
Su Xing: "..."
"Aliens... your phrasing isn't entirely wrong, after all, they're not from the same planet as us... or even the same world!"
"But the threat of the 異族 (aberrant beings) is extremely terrifying!"
"On this land of Earth, a terrifying existence is slumbering... even I am far from being a match for it."
"Therefore, you must quickly enhance humanity's overall strength... and explore as many dungeon worlds as possible."
With Su Xing's current perspective, he already knew that all the dungeons on Earth were fragments of the former Luo Tian Realm.
It was just that with the Crimson Moon's power, those world fragments were transformed into various different dungeons.
The Crimson Moon was using a "raising insects in a jar" approach, luring Earth's professionals into various dungeon worlds.
Cultivating sufficiently powerful professionals, and then turning them into nourishment for the Crimson Moon.
This method... was no different from raising insects!
Hearing Su Xing's further explanation, Lu Yuanwu was extremely shocked.
He swallowed, saying:
"Senior... should I keep the information you've shared a secret?"
In Lu Yuanwu's view, the information Su Xing had shared was undoubtedly shocking.
Such astonishing news naturally needed to be kept secret.
But Su Xing simply shook his head and said:
"No need to keep it secret, knowing these things sooner... will allow you to prepare sooner!"
"Remember, the stronger humanity is, the better!"
"But every professional who reaches Legendary and beyond can find me, and I'll help them avoid the Crimson Moon's danger..."
"What you need to do is quickly gather the exotic metal from all over Great Xia, and even from other countries on Earth, and give it to me."
"If your exotic metal reserves are depleted, then quickly excavate more in the dungeons... not just fourth and third-order, I also need first and second-order exotic metals!"
Hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu nodded repeatedly, saying:
"Rest assured, Senior, from now on, exotic metal ore will be a national strategic resource. I will gather all the exotic metal... for you!"
Su Xing nodded slightly and said:
"From now on, our trade will be once a month... oh, and take this, if there's an emergency, you can contact me!"
Su Xing handed over a sound transmission jade talisman, and Lu Yuanwu quickly took it.
Next, Su Xing chatted with Lu Yuanwu for a while before hurriedly returning to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
Converting all the newly obtained exotic metal into Energy Primordia, Su Xing's energy reserves surged again.
Reaching a total of 8.5 million Energy Primordia!
...
After returning to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing's eyes held a touch of worry.
"Lu Yuanwu mentioned that the Descending Church had some internal problems... could it be that something dangerous happened to Luo Shuyin?"
Su Xing couldn't shake off the worry in his heart. Without hesitation, he began to divine Luo Shuyin's situation.
Su Xing performed three divinations in a row, and the omens became increasingly ominous.
"Luo Shuyin is currently in a life-or-death crisis!?"
"How could this be... she was fine when I left..."
Su Xing performed three divinations in a row, all indicating that Luo Shuyin was in extreme danger.
It could be as soon as three quarters of an hour, or as long as half a day, before Luo Shuyin would perish!
Fortunately, the omens showed this, meaning that Luo Shuyin was at least still alive!
"Therefore, it must be because of something I did that caused the future to change... which led to Luo Shuyin being in danger!"
Su Xing had encountered similar issues before.
Because every simulation, the actions taken would inevitably cause some changes in the future.
But these changes, for better or worse, had never been as sudden as now.
"I must rescue Luo Shuyin as soon as possible and completely destroy the Descending Church!"
Su Xing's original plan was to completely eliminate the Descending Church after breaking through to Xuanxian, and also plunder the Descending Church's treasury.
But he couldn't delay any longer.
"However, I still have three simulation opportunities left... I might as well see what Luo Shuyin's situation is like now!"
Su Xing didn't hesitate and directly began the simulation.
"Begin Simulation!"
[133rd Simulation Started, Remaining Energy Primordia 8,564,396... Remaining Simulation Opportunities 2.]
[Simulation Starting!]
[Spend 1 Energy Primordia to draw a Golden Legendary Talent, draw?]
"Yes!"
[Ding, Congratulations on obtaining the Purple Talent Dragon Clan Affinity... Next Golden Talent draw probability is 80%...]
[Dragon Clan Affinity]: Purple Talent, you are innately endowed with some Dragon Clan bloodline, possessing an extremely high affinity for the Dragon Clan, allowing you to relatively easily gain their favor.
"Hmm? This talent..."
Su Xing remembered that he had previously possessed the "Dragon Slayer," also a Purple Talent.
Except that Dragon Slayer would cause dragons to harbor animosity and enhanced the user's power against them.
The Dragon Clan Affinity talent was the opposite.
"However, no matter the talent... I should start the simulation as soon as possible!"
Su Xing's gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[Your talent Joy Plus One takes effect, select the talent to enhance...]
"I choose to enhance the Late Bloomer talent..."
Su Xing silently recited. For him, the most urgent need was to improve his cultivation realm.
[Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realize you are in a simulation.]
[Without hesitation, you begin to search for Luo Shuyin's whereabouts.]
[Your divine sense, like a tide, covers the entire Great Xia.]
[But no matter how you search, you cannot find Luo Shuyin's trace.]
[You begin to use your karmic connection with Luo Shuyin to find her current location.]
[Eventually, you conclude that Luo Shuyin is not on Earth at all, but has traveled to another dungeon world.]
[You begin to search for Luo Shuyin's whereabouts in various dungeon worlds.]
[After searching through two or three dungeons, you travel to the Spirit Realm.]
[This is Luo Shuyin's homeland... you suspect that in the most dangerous moment, she might have fled back to her homeland for refuge.]
[Your divine sense, like a tide, covers a radius of tens of thousands of li, and begins to rapidly search for Luo Shuyin's trace.]
[After several hours, you finally discover Luo Shuyin... in the Spirit Clan's ancestral land... her corpse!]
[Luo Shuyin is dead!]
[Before her corpse, sits the crazed Old Dog Dragon!]
[You are ultimately too late... searching through the various worlds took nearly half a day.]
[Looking at Old Dog Dragon before you, without hesitation, you crush all the bones in his body.]
[Then, you perform soul-searching on Old Dog Dragon...]
[From the information obtained through soul-searching, you learn that Luo Shuyin's actions were a bit too obvious as she hoped to learn more information about the 異族 (aberrant beings) and the Descending Church, causing her to be suspected by Old Dog Dragon.]
[Coupled with the fact that Old Dog Dragon had asked Luo Shuyin to investigate the Puppet Organization, which yielded no results.]
[And the various internal traitors planted by the Descending Church within the Great Xia military were also eliminated.]
[With the combination of these factors, Old Dog Dragon became even more suspicious of Luo Shuyin...]
[Now, Old Dog Dragon finally made his move against Luo Shuyin, hoping to eliminate any future threats.]
[Luo Shuyin fled all the way, hoping to escape back to the Spirit Realm.]
[But Old Dog Dragon pursued her relentlessly, finally killing Luo Shuyin near the Spirit Clan's ancestral land...]
[For this, Old Dog Dragon was also severely injured...]
[Having learned the information you sought, without hesitation, you crush Old Dog Dragon's skull with one hand.]
In the real world, Su Xing's brow furrowed upon seeing this.
"Luo Shuyin... sigh..."
"Thankfully, this is just a simulation. It should still be possible to save Luo Shuyin now. I must immediately travel to the Spirit Clan's ancestral land!"
"It's my fault for not being strong enough... the countermeasures I left on Luo Shuyin weren't enough to kill Old Dog Dragon?"
Su Xing took a deep breath. He knew that Luo Shuyin was always a very independent person.
Even though she was being hunted by Old Dog Dragon, she never thought of involving Su Xing.
"Sigh, I must go to the Spirit Clan's ancestral land as soon as possible!"
Su Xing's gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[After killing Old Dog Dragon, you go to the Descending Church branch...]
[After slaughtering all the high-ranking members of the Descending Church, you deceive the ordinary members into going to the Demon Suppression Pass to fight against the 異族 (aberrant beings).]
[Then, you plunder the Descending Church's treasury, obtaining a shocking amount of wealth.]
[After doing all this, you begin to prepare for the relocation of humanity.]
[You begin to build your Spiritual Domain and transfer the civilians and professionals of Great Xia in batches.]
[In just two years, you successfully relocate all of Great Xia's human population to the Little Azure Cloud World, and some civilians from other countries willing to affiliate with Great Xia are also successfully relocated.]
[Then, you inform the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in the Little Azure Cloud World about the Crimson Moon on Earth.]
[The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion needs to investigate the authenticity of the information, and you wait patiently for a while.]
[During this time, you travel to Azure Cloud City and contact Zi Ling Fairy, going to Azure Cloud Sect.]
[On Three Immortal Peak, you successfully make a deal with Azure Cloud Zi and obtain the two cups of Dao Enlightenment Tea.]
[In the fifth year, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion investigates the Crimson Moon's presence on Earth. Due to the relocation of the entire human population of Earth... the Crimson Moon is preparing to revive prematurely!]
[At your suggestion, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion sends two Taishang Jinxian.]
[Thus, five years quickly pass...]
[In the tenth year, you receive news that the two Taishang Jinxian, one is dead and the other is injured... the operation failed!]
[The reason for the failure is that Blood Three made a move!]
[Due to the major changes on Earth, Blood Three abandons his current task and appears on Earth!]
[Blood Three has been lying in wait, cooperating with the Crimson Moon, and successfully kills one Taishang Jinxian, and the other barely escapes...]
[Absorbing the life force of a Taishang Jinxian accelerates the Crimson Moon's revival, and her strength recovers even more powerfully than before!]
[The current Crimson Moon, even without Da Luo Jinxian cultivation, is probably not far from it...]
[The humans remaining on Earth, unsurprisingly, all die.]
[And you remain in the Little Azure Cloud World, wanting to see how the chain reaction you caused affects the situation in the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[Next, you stay in Heavenly Demon City and focus on cultivating the Abyss Army.]
[In just ten years, the Abyss Army has expanded to a size of 10,000, all of whom are cultivators above the Unity Stage!]
[Every day on the front lines, your first impression is that the pace of the 異族 (aberrant beings)' invasion has quickened!]
[Red-eyed 異族 (aberrant beings) begin to appear on the battlefield...]
