Chapter 379: True Immortal Ninth Realm, Golden Talent - Fortune God Body! [8k Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets]
[In a mere breath, the originally three-zhang tall Demon General transformed into a colossal giant of ten thousand zhang!]
[The black giant axe in his hand also grew to ten thousand zhang in length.]
[The Demon General roared, and with a furious swing of his axe… ]
[In the next instant, the earth cracked, mountains crumbled, and the entire Xia Qingyun Realm seemed to tremble.]
[This single strike triggered an earthquake that spread for ten thousand li around Demon City.]
[All beings with lower cultivation were unable to escape death… regardless of whether they were human cultivators or other races! ]
[Of course, under the Demon General's control, the majority of the casualties were among the other races. A million otherworldly beings perished in that instant…]
[The only survivors were those above the level of Demigods among the other races…]
[You unleashed your spiritual energy, soaring ten thousand zhang into the air, witnessing this terrifying axe strike…]
[A single strike shattered mountains and rivers, its impact reaching ten thousand li. With your strength, you could achieve something similar…]
[But to slay a million otherworldly beings with a single blow? You are still far from capable of that.]
[You used your divine sense to observe the corpses of the slain red-eyed otherworldly beings… most of their physical bodies remained intact, but their pupils had scattered, as if they had been scared to death! ]
[This power felt somewhat familiar to you… ]
[It was killing intent!]
[The Demon General's axe strike had actually incorporated the Dao of Slaughter! ]
[The deaths of a million otherworldly beings weren't solely due to sheer power, but rather the terrifying killing intent imbued within the axe's form!]
[When the Dao of Slaughter is cultivated to a profound level, it can manifest into a tangible force, capable of deciding life and death! ]
In the real world, Su Xing gasped after reading this.
"Just through killing intent… he could annihilate a million otherworldly beings? Is this the true power of the Demon General's manifestation?"
"What level has this Dao of Slaughter reached… is it the fifth stage or the sixth stage?"
Su Xing, who possessed a certain degree of understanding of the Dao of Slaughter, having reached the second stage, felt a surge of awe.
He could skillfully integrate killing intent into his divine abilities and techniques to enhance their power.
However, compared to the Demon General's level, he was still incredibly far behind…
"Furthermore, this was merely the Demon General's manifestation… if he were to use his true form…"
"Perhaps a single strike of his axe would eradicate all living beings in the Xia Qingyun Realm!"
Su Xing finally understood why the Demon General had urged him to cultivate the Dao of Slaughter.
On the battlefield, the Dao of Slaughter's ability to take on numerous opponents with a single individual was unmatched by any other ordinary Dao.
"Alas, what a pity… the Demon General's manifestation is ultimately only at the Golden Immortal level… so, can he truly withstand those six Golden Immortals?"
A hint of worry flickered in Su Xing's eyes as he shifted his gaze to the simulation panel.
[Demon City, ten thousand zhang above, you watch the Demon General, who is displaying overwhelming power and resembling a divine being, and feel a surge of admiration.]
[This technique, indiscriminate in its target, had nevertheless decimated the majority of the otherworldly race's fighting force.]
[In comparison, the human side's losses were negligible…]
[However, this move was inherently against the natural order… an ordinary Da Luo would never dare to do such a thing.]
[But, he is the Demon General!]
[Once those otherworldly armies were able to regroup, the cultivators of the entire Xia Qingyun Realm would undoubtedly become their nourishment…]
[At that point, the enemy would be able to replenish their strength through war, which would be even worse for the overall situation.]
[Therefore, the Demon General, regardless of the karmic burden it would bring, chose to exterminate the otherworldly beings. This kind of domineering aura is unmatched by others…]
[After the axe strike, you suddenly hear a message transmitted through divine sense.]
[It's the Demon General, informing you to quickly organize the Heavenly Abyss Army to leave Xia Qingyun Realm… after this battle, Xia Qingyun Realm will cease to exist!]
[Your heart jumps in alarm. Indeed, even with the Demon General's resolve, he couldn't guarantee his ability to completely annihilate the otherworldly beings in this realm.]
[After receiving the Demon General's message, you don't hesitate and swiftly begin organizing the Heavenly Abyss Army for evacuation.]
[After three years of warfare, the Heavenly Abyss Army has dwindled to less than 100,000…]
[But these cultivators are all elites… ]
[Those at the Great Ascension stage or above make up a full 50%… ]
[You spend half a day transferring all the Heavenly Abyss Army cultivators into the Spirit Field Cavern, then leave the vicinity of Demon City.]
[Even a million li away, you can still feel the echoes of the battle coming from the direction of Demon City.]
[Leaving Demon City, you begin to wander through various cultivator cities.]
[The cultivators in these cities are mostly filled with fear and uncertainty. Many of them have spontaneously organized themselves and are heading to the front lines to fight the otherworldly beings, as if they all know what's about to happen…]
[While you wish you could save everyone, you realize it's impossible.]
[So, you can only take away some of the elderly, children, and high-level cultivators, trying to preserve the human race's fighting force.]
[Three days later, you arrive near the White Emperor City, which has long lost its former splendor.]
[The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had left this realm dozens of days ago, and the whereabouts of the girl in the pavilion are unknown.]
[As for the cultivators near White Emperor City, those with connections have long since spent exorbitant sums of money to leave this realm and seek refuge in other worlds.]
[You arrive at the land where the Great Xia Nation is located…]
[This is where the human race from Blue Star initially migrated.]
[Since migrating from Blue Star, they have been here for over three hundred years… ]
[Three hundred years have passed, and the Great Xia Nation has gone through over ten generations of rulers… ]
[The Great Xia Nation's power structure has gradually shifted from the initial occupation-based system to the current cultivator system.]
[Although most of your old acquaintances are no longer around, legends of you still circulate within the Great Xia Nation… ]
[Jin Congxue has now broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage… and your close friends, as well as your parents, have also become cultivators with your help.]
[You take most of your relatives and friends with you, preparing to leave the Xia Qingyun Realm.]
[In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.]
[On this day, you ride the Star Moon Shuttle and depart from the Xia Qingyun Realm.]
[Outside the Xia Qingyun Realm, you witness the destruction of this world…]
[The terrifying spectacle almost pierces the entire Xia Qingyun Realm, causing you to feel a tremor of fear even while in the void.]
[Then, you see the entire world begin to disintegrate…]
[Wails seem to echo from the void… ]
[The world is about to end, perhaps a lament from this realm's Heavenly Dao… ]
[Before your eyes, this vast world transforms into countless fragments of stars, scattered throughout the void.]
[You take one last look before quickly piloting the Star Moon Shuttle away.]
[A month later, you arrive at the Star Realm.]
[Despite the immense distance, the destruction of Xia Qingyun Realm doesn't seem to have affected this place.]
[The cultivators of the Star Realm treat you with the utmost respect, having already allocated a region for the cultivators from Xia Qingyun Realm seeking refuge… ]
[Under your arrangement, the Heavenly Abyss Army and some of the Xia Qingyun Realm cultivators successfully find a safe haven in the Star Realm.]
[Although they have temporarily escaped danger, your heart doesn't relax in the slightest.]
[The destruction of Xia Qingyun Realm is etched in your memory. Although this realm is far away… based on the otherworldly beings' invasion speed, the worlds near Xia Qingyun Realm will soon be invaded… ]
[In the 335th year, the complete intelligence regarding Xia Qingyun Realm finally arrives.]
[The Demon General's manifestation perished in battle… five of the six Golden Immortals were slain… countless armies of red-eyed otherworldly beings were completely annihilated! ]
[Although Xia Qingyun Realm was destroyed in this battle, the Demon General, through his actions, bought the Qingyuan Domain at least a hundred years of respite! ]
[After the war, you get a temporary reprieve and begin expanding the number of Heavenly Abyss Army cultivators.]
[At the same time, the destruction of Xia Qingyun Realm made the human race realize the terrifying nature of the otherworldly beings. Forces like the White Emperor Tower and the Golden Money Trading Company began to form a human alliance to resist the otherworldly beings… ]
In the real world, Su Xing's emotions were complex as he read this.
"The Demon General's manifestation… a Da Luo Golden Immortal's manifestation… was he truly killed in that battle!"
Su Xing knew that if the Demon General wanted to escape, those six Golden Immortals wouldn't be able to stop him!
However, the Demon General's intention was to severely cripple the otherworldly beings by sacrificing himself and destroying the Xia Qingyun Realm!
The loss of a manifestation in exchange for a hundred years of peace for the Qingyuan Domain didn't seem like a bad trade.
"Overall, the situation is still developing in a positive direction…"
"Next, I have enough time to improve my cultivation… but before the 500-year deadline, I might still have to find a way to extend the simulation."
Su Xing pondered for a moment. In the next hundred years, he must quickly improve his cultivation.
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[In the 350th year, in the Star Realm, you begin to make plans for your breakthrough.]
[In the past ten-odd years after the war, you've used the Rebirth Transformation Pills and spiritual liquid to continuously enhance the strength of the Heavenly Abyss Army.]
[The 100,000 Heavenly Abyss Army has expanded to 200,000, with most of them being native cultivators of the Star Realm… ]
[You inform a few trusted subordinates of your upcoming seclusion and then enter the Spirit Field Cavern.]
[Within the Spirit Field Cavern, you take out ten million drops of high-grade spiritual liquid. Like a siphon, they are all absorbed into your inner sea of qi, transforming into pure immortal energy… ]
[This breakthrough lasts for a full fifteen years… ]
[In the 365th year, you successfully emerge from seclusion!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully broken through to True Immortal Eighth Realm! ]
[Currently, you are getting closer and closer to True Immortal Perfection, but you don't slack off. You continue practicing the Zhengyi Breathing Technique every day.]
[In the 400th year, your Spiritual Domain successfully expands to 3,400 zhang.]
[In the 420th year, your cultivation reaches the mid-stage of True Immortal Eighth Realm… ]
[Cultivation after reaching True Immortal is not easy. Unlike ordinary True Immortals who need to constantly search for secret realms and celestial treasures… the abundant spiritual liquid within the Luotian Realm ensures your cultivation progress.]
[However, the speed of your cultivation has slowed down to a certain extent.]
[In these years, the invasion of the otherworldly beings has never stopped, but it is much weaker than before.]
[However, as time goes by, the red-eyed otherworldly beings are showing signs of a resurgence… ]
[You become increasingly anxious and seize every opportunity to cultivate.]
[Another fifty years pass… ]
[In the 470th year, your cultivation reaches the late-stage of True Immortal Eighth Realm.]
[This year, intelligence arrives from the front lines that the Yellow Sand Realm and the Black Water Realm have been destroyed and invaded by the otherworldly beings! ]
[At this rate, the otherworldly beings will be able to invade near the Star Realm within a hundred years at most.]
[The Qingyun Sect still hasn't made a statement, causing many independent cultivators in the Qingyuan Domain to lose heart.]
[But you know that the Qingyun Patriarch is preoccupied with his own affairs. Under these circumstances, the Qingyun Sect will certainly not be able to spare any resources to help the cultivators of other realms.]
[Otherwise, if the Qingyun Sect were to become vulnerable, a massive invasion of the otherworldly beings into the Qingyun Realm would upend the entire Qingyuan Domain! ]
In the real world, Su Xing whispered:
"It's the 470th year of the simulation! The Qingyun Patriarch's Evil Aspect will soon gain the upper hand…"
"There's no need to go to the Heavenly Mechanism Domain in this simulation… it was sheer luck that I managed to survive and reach the Heavenly Mechanism Domain last time."
"However, going to the Nine Heavens Domain can also extend the simulation time to a certain extent…"
Su Xing already knew roughly what the situation in the Qingyuan Domain would be like over the next few hundred years.
Therefore, the goals of this simulation had been essentially achieved. Su Xing simply needed to maximize his cultivation progress.
With that thought, Su Xing focused on the simulation panel.
[In the 470th year, you set off for the Nine Heavens Domain.]
[After several years of travel, you arrive at a secret realm in the Fifth Heaven and begin to cultivate peacefully there.]
[Thirty years pass.]
[In the 500th year, your cultivation smoothly reaches the peak of True Immortal Eighth Realm… ]
[You begin to prepare for your breakthrough to True Immortal Ninth Realm.]
[Over twenty years, you spend nearly 100 million drops of high-grade spiritual liquid and, with the help of the Spirit Vein Dragon, finally break through successfully.]
[Congratulations! You have successfully broken through to True Immortal Ninth Realm! ]
[In the 520th year, you are getting closer and closer to True Immortal Perfection.]
[In the 550th year, your Spiritual Domain expands to 3,500 zhang! ]
[In the 590th year… your cultivation successfully breaks through to the mid-stage of True Immortal Ninth Realm… ]
[In the 600th year, your innate talent, the Auspicious Avoidance of Misfortune Talent, sends out a warning.]
[The next day, Qingyun Zi finds you… ]
[You die… ]
[Ding, this simulation has ended! ]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing let out a long breath.
"True Immortal Ninth Realm mid-stage cultivation… the Dao of the Sword and the Dao of the Five Elements have both entered the fourth stage, and my Spiritual Domain has also grown significantly… the goals of this simulation have been successfully accomplished!"
While feeling a surge of joy, Su Xing also felt a touch of worry about the situation in the Three Thousand Worlds.
"But since I've chosen this path… I have to keep walking it!"
"Next, I must rapidly improve my cultivation!"
Su Xing's gaze fell upon the rewards from this simulation.
[Dragon Clan Affinity]: Purple talent, costs 1 point of Energy Origin.
[True Immortal Ninth Realm Cultivation]: Overcome the Three Immortal Tribulations, achieve True Immortal, the Dao awaits, lifespan extended to a Yuanhui! Costs 900,000 points of Energy Origin!
[Spiritual Domain Cultivation Results]: After selecting, your understanding of the Spiritual Domain will significantly improve. Your Spiritual Domain's coverage area will reach 3,500 zhang, the power of spells and techniques within your Spiritual Domain will significantly increase, and you can freely manipulate your Dao insights. Costs 150,000 points of Energy Origin.
[Dao of Slaughter Insights]: Observe the Demon General's manifestation and obtain profound insights into the Dao of Slaughter, significantly promoting your progress in the Dao of Slaughter. Costs 100,000 points of Energy Origin.
After seeing the rewards from this simulation, Su Xing didn't hesitate. He silently said:
"I choose to bring back True Immortal Ninth Realm cultivation… and Spiritual Domain Cultivation Results!"
[You successfully bring back Spiritual Domain Cultivation Results, spending 150,000 points of Energy Origin. Remaining Energy Origin: 7,488,895 points… ]
[You successfully bring back True Immortal Ninth Realm cultivation, spending 900,000 points of Energy Origin. Remaining Energy Origin: 7,488,895 points… ]
As Su Xing's Energy Origin sharply decreased, two mysterious forces surged into his body.
The first thing Su Xing felt was a surge in his cultivation!
True Immortal Sixth Realm peak… True Immortal Seventh Realm… True Immortal Eighth Realm…
Finally, Su Xing's cultivation successfully entered True Immortal Ninth Realm, even reaching the mid-stage of True Immortal Ninth Realm!
This cultivation improvement was smooth and effortless, without any hint of difficulty.
Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body and nodded in satisfaction.
"From the mid-stage of True Immortal… directly to the Ninth Realm, nearing the peak of True Immortal!"
"The spiritual energy within my body has increased by more than double!"
In addition to the joy of his increased strength, Su Xing felt an even greater sense of wonder at the simulation's capabilities.
"An ordinary True Immortal needs to spend hundreds of years to break through a single minor realm… but I gain cultivation from the simulation, completely ignoring that limitation!"
"It's as if… this power has always belonged to me!"
This wasn't the first time Su Xing had this feeling.
When Su Xing's cultivation was still low, he could attribute the ease of breakthroughs to his talent.
However, as Su Xing's cultivation became higher and higher, this ability to directly gain cultivation feedback from the simulation seemed to exceed his expectations.
However, Su Xing didn't know the specific reason behind it.
"It can't be that when I reach Da Luo Golden Immortal, cultivation improvements will still be this easy, can it?"
Su Xing chuckled.
After adapting to the surging spiritual energy within his body, Su Xing sensed the growth of his Spiritual Domain.
The 3,500-zhang Spiritual Domain was nearly double the size of his previous 2,000-zhang domain!
The expansion of the Spiritual Domain also meant that Su Xing's divine abilities within the Spiritual Domain would become even more formidable.
"However, it seems like there's still quite a distance to reach the 10,000-zhang Spiritual Domain Perfection."
Su Xing muttered.
Looking at the time, Su Xing calculated:
"Based on the time, Luo Shuying should have already escaped to the Spirit Realm… so, I should also set off!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he left his Spiritual Domain.
Then, with a few steps, Su Xing crossed a distance of ten thousand li and arrived at the passage he had used to travel from Blue Star to the Spirit Realm.
Without needing the Spirit Race Token, Su Xing directly unleashed the Dao of Space and successfully entered the Spirit Realm.
The entire process took only half a quarter of an hour.
After entering the Spirit Realm, Su Xing didn't immediately head to the Spirit Race ancestral land.
"This is the time that will determine my future path… I must be cautious and careful!"
"Therefore, it's better to run an immersive simulation first, just to be safe!"
"A single simulation won't take more than a few minutes…"
"Besides, my cultivation should also smoothly reach the peak of True Immortal."
Increased strength would give Su Xing a greater sense of security.
He currently had two simulation opportunities remaining and couldn't afford to waste them.
With that thought, Su Xing silently said:
"Begin simulation!"
[134th simulation initiated. Current remaining Energy Origin: 7,488,895 points… remaining simulation opportunities: 1.]
[Simulation starting! ]
[Spending 1 point of Energy Origin to draw a Golden Legendary talent. Do you want to draw?]
"Yes!"
[Ding, congratulations! You have obtained the Golden Talent Fortune God Body… the next Golden Talent draw probability is 80%… ]
[Fortune God Body]: One of the Hundred Divine Bodies, also one of the most envied physiques in the Three Thousand Worlds. Legend has it that cultivators with this physique can easily obtain cultivation resources and have the ability to attract wealth and treasure.
"Hmm? Fortune God Body…"
Su Xing glanced at the talent description, a hint of anticipation in his heart.
"The effect of this talent seems to overlap with Good Fortune?"
"Wait a minute… the talent effects seem to be stackable!"
"Doesn't that mean… my chances of finding celestial treasures are even greater!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up, realizing that this was a great talent.
"However, even if the talent is good, I still need to experience it firsthand… and more importantly, the main goal of this simulation is to deal with that old dog Long!"
With that thought, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Realm, you realize that you are currently in a simulation.]
[You release your divine sense and quickly sense the location of the Spirit Race ancestral land, as well as a familiar figure within it… ]
[Currently, Luo Shuying is frantically fleeing, using the formations within the Spirit Race ancestral land to resist Long Lao's pursuit… ]
Su Xing's heart moved, and he silently said:
"Use Immersive Simulation, lasting for one day…"
[Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation. Remaining Energy Origin: 7,488,894 points… ]
As the prompt sound fell, Su Xing's consciousness entered the simulated world.
After entering the simulation, Su Xing didn't hesitate. He immediately locked onto Luo Shuying's location.
Then, Su Xing took a few steps, the mysterious Dao of Space flowing beneath his feet, transforming into a golden light that quickly reached the Spirit Race ancestral land.
"Just wait a little longer… I'll be there soon!"
Su Xing silently thought to himself. His vision changed.
Soon, Su Xing appeared within the Spirit Race ancestral land.
All around him was mist, obscuring everything.
If an ordinary person were to arrive here, they would undoubtedly lose their way.
However, for Su Xing, this Mist Array was completely useless.
In the dense primeval forest, Luo Shuying's figure moved constantly.
His figure remained hidden in the black shadows, incredibly elusive.
A hundred li behind him, a figure was rapidly pursuing Luo Shuying.
It was Long Lao!
Currently, a cruel smile was on Long Lao's face as he said:
"Humph, Shadow Protector… you've been hiding quite well! Your speed… few in legend can match you, I wager?"
"However, since you dare to betray this Sect, you will surely die today!"
"If you're smart, reveal who's behind you… and this Sect Master will leave you a whole corpse!"
As he spoke, Long Lao quickly closed in on the Shadow Protector.
Although Luo Shuying was incredibly skilled in speed, his cultivation was ultimately far inferior to Long Lao's.
Just as Long Lao was about to catch Luo Shuying, a figure appeared in front of him.
Long Lao immediately stopped, warily observing Su Xing and questioned:
"Who are you?"
Su Xing looked indifferently at Long Lao, his eyes seeming to already regard him as a corpse.
"Weren't you looking for me? Now… I'm standing right in front of you!"
Upon hearing this, Long Lao's expression changed, and then he sneered:
"I'll see what you're made of! To dare confront this Sect!"
As he spoke, Long Lao's divine sense surged toward Su Xing.
In the next instant, Long Lao felt as if he had crashed into a mountain, his face instantly changing.
"Escape!"
At this moment, only this thought remained in Long Lao's mind.
Without any hesitation, he turned and fled, disappearing dozens of li away in the blink of an eye.
However, Su Xing simply stood there and extended his right hand slightly.
His palm seemed to pierce through endless space, directly pulling Long Lao back to his original spot.
Then, Su Xing used the Soul Search technique on Long Lao.
The Heaven and Human Realm divine sense was completely overwhelming for Long Lao's soul!
In a mere instant, Long Lao lost his consciousness and became an imbecile.
After absorbing Long Lao's recent memories and soul fragments, Su Xing casually erased Long Lao's consciousness.
"Sigh… as expected… Long Lao did discover some clues and reported them to Blood Three, didn't he?"
Su Xing sighed.
In the information he obtained through Soul Search, a month ago, Long Lao began to suspect Luo Shuying.
Coincidentally, Long Lao was reporting information to Blood Three, so he also reported this matter.
Blood Three's response was that Luo Shuying might be connected to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!
Therefore, he hoped that Long Lao would perform Soul Search on Luo Shuying before reporting the information!
If Su Xing were to kill Long Lao at this time, Blood Three wouldn't receive the information and would become suspicious!
"Whew… Blood Three also transmitted a few treasures to Long Lao through spatial artifacts for self-defense, didn't he?"
"So that's it… no wonder Luo Shuying wasn't Long Lao's match…"
Su Xing looked at Long Lao, who had become a living corpse, and casually put him into the Spirit Field Cavern.
"This corpse of Long Lao might have other uses… perhaps I can refine it into a puppet!"
Su Xing mused.
The entire process was incredibly smooth. Under the absolute crushing of strength, Long Lao didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
However, killing Long Lao was just the prelude. The real key was how Hong Yue and Blood Three would react afterward.
"Since I'm here, I might as well make the most of it…"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he sent a message through divine sense to Luo Shuying in the distance.
A moment later, Luo Shuying appeared before Su Xing. He carefully surveyed his surroundings and, upon seeing Su Xing, felt a surge of joy. He quickly stepped forward and said:
"Senior, you've come!"
Then, Luo Shuying asked in confusion:
"Long Protector… doesn't seem to be nearby?"
Su Xing chuckled and said:
"Luo Shuying, you are safe now… Long Protector has been slain by me…"
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Luo Shuying finally let out a long sigh of relief and said solemnly to Su Xing:
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior!"
Su Xing waved his hand and said:
"It was nothing… besides, you were caught in this disaster because of me!"
Su Xing spoke lightly, not mentioning the chain reaction his rescue of Luo Shuying would cause.
He simply asked Luo Shuying:
"Do others in the Arrival Sect know that you've been discovered as a traitor?"
Luo Shuying shook his head and said:
"Only Long Protector should know… that's why he secretly hunted me down. I discovered his plan early and fled to this realm."
Upon hearing Luo Shuying's reply, Su Xing's eyes lit up.
Only Long Lao knew!
Didn't that mean that Luo Shuying could still remain within the Arrival Sect as an insider?
"No, with Long Lao's corpse… perhaps I can make use of it after refining it into a puppet!"
Su Xing stroked his chin.
With his current puppetry skills, after refining Long Lao into a puppet, it would be indistinguishable from a living person.
In that case, Long Lao could still control the Arrival Sect, yet he would be working for Su Xing!
This way, Su Xing wouldn't have to openly exterminate the Arrival Sect.
If he made too much noise, it might attract the attention of the one above…
"Excellent, this plan is feasible!"
Su Xing silently thought to himself, then said to Luo Shuying:
"You're safe now. Long Protector will be refined into a puppet by me…"
"In a few days, I'll need you to take me to the Arrival Sect's treasure vault…"
"For now, let's return to Blue Star…"
…
Soon, the Immersive Simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
"Whew, this operation went exceptionally well!"
"Refining Long Lao into a puppet… perhaps that's the best course of action!"
With that thought, Su Xing couldn't wait to see how his new plan would play out.
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[You take Luo Shuying back to Blue Star from the Spirit Realm.]
[Afterwards, you spend several days refining Long Lao into a puppet and have him return to the Arrival Sect.]
[The Arrival Sect members don't notice anything unusual… you have Long Lao take Luo Shuying to retrieve all the treasures from the Arrival Sect's treasure vault.]
[You obtain a staggering amount of treasure… ]
[For a while after that, you keep Luo Shuying by your side, and you begin to prepare for the human race's migration.]
[Having learned from the last incident, you are much more secretive this time.]
[However, a large-scale exodus of human occupation-based cultivators from Blue Star is bound to attract Hong Yue's attention.]
[So, after transferring the Great Xia Nation's occupation-based cultivators to Xia Qingyun Realm in batches, you quickly inform the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion about Hong Yue's situation.]
[You tell the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master that Hong Yue is already on high alert, and the Arrival Sect will send out a True Immortal to deal with you! ]
[Therefore, you hope that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion can directly dispatch a Da Luo Golden Immortal to kill Hong Yue.]
[But this is undoubtedly unrealistic.]
[A Da Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't act on mere intelligence… and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's influence in the Qingyuan Domain isn't strong enough. At most, they can only summon two True Immortals.]
[After learning about this, you let out a long sigh, knowing that the situation is irreversible.]
[So, you accelerate the migration of the Blue Star human race.]
[In the blink of an eye, three years have passed… ]
[In the third year, the Blue Star human race has essentially successfully migrated to Xia Qingyun Realm.]
[This year, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is preparing to summon two True Immortals to see if they can successfully assassinate Hong Yue… ]
[You go to the Qingyun Realm and obtain two cups of Enlightenment Tea from Qingyun Zi.]
[In the eighth year, intelligence arrives from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion that the operation failed, and both True Immortals returned severely injured! ]
[You are secretly pleased to hear this. Although they failed to eliminate Hong Yue, the True Immortals survived… and Hong Yue's strength might not recover so quickly! ]
[However, you still underestimated Hong Yue's resolve… ]
[This incident made Hong Yue realize that she had been exposed.]
[Therefore, Hong Yue quickly sacrificed all the living beings on Blue Star… on that day, a colossal beast that blotted out the sky swallowed the entire Blue Star.]
[In the following years, several small realms were devoured by Hong Yue, and her strength quickly recovered… ]
[In the twentieth year, you appear in Demon City and kill some red-eyed otherworldly beings, ensuring that the Heavenly Abyss Army has enough Rebirth Transformation Pills.]
[The strength of the otherworldly beings, while having increased slightly compared to before, is not as terrifying as in the previous simulation.]
[You feel a little relieved and continue cultivating in the Xia Qingyun Realm.]
[In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed… ]
[In the fiftieth year, a turning point appears on the front lines of Demon City. A large number of otherworldly True Gods appear, and Demon City is becoming difficult to defend… ]
[Fortunately, the Heavenly Abyss Army steps in… ]

(End of Chapter)
Chapter 380: Five Qi Within the Chest, Crisis Averted! [8k, Seeking Monthly Tickets]
[After over fifty years of preparation, the Heavenly Abyss Army's strength has become formidable.]
[Coupled with your considerable investments in recruiting independent human cultivators over the years, the otherworldly beings are momentarily unable to gain a significant advantage on the battlefield.]
[As always, while slaying otherworldly beings, you diligently strive to improve your cultivation.]
[In the 80th year, your cultivation smoothly rises to the late-stage of True Immortal Ninth Realm… ]
[You begin to contemplate the preparations for breaking through to the Profound Immortal Realm.]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly upon reading this.
"My cultivation has finally reached the late-stage of True Immortal Ninth Realm… which means True Immortal Perfection isn't far off!"
"Next, I should consider condensing the Five Qi within my chest…"
Su Xing's mind flashed with information regarding the breakthrough from True Immortal to Profound Immortal.
Following the usual order,
To ascend from True Immortal to Profound Immortal, one needs to achieve the fourth stage of understanding in a certain Dao.
Su Xing had already achieved this.
However, there was a more crucial aspect, which was condensing the Five Qi within the chest!
Only after the Five Qi are perfectly condensed can one seize the momentum and ascend to Profound Immortal!
When a Profound Immortal breaks through to Golden Immortal, they need to condense the Three Flowers atop their head…
"The Five Qi within the chest… correspond to the five internal organs: Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lungs, and Kidneys."
"And the five internal organs correspond to the Five Elements, where Heart belongs to Fire, Liver to Wood, Spleen to Earth, Lungs to Metal, and Kidneys to Water… thus, they are also linked to the Five Elements."
"Therefore, the condensation of the Five Qi within the chest is essentially a refinement of the Five Element Immortal Energy within the body…"
"Only by condensing the Five Qi within the chest can immortal energy smoothly reach the Profound Immortal Realm! The power of immortal energy greatly increases… with endless applications!"
Pausing for a moment, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Su Xing's eyes:
"Once the Five Qi within the chest are condensed, and the Three Flowers atop the head are gathered, the Dao will be within reach!"
Condensing the Five Qi within the chest takes time. One needs to sense the heavens and earth and gradually refine the Five Qi until they converge, achieving the Five Qi Returning to the Origin state and becoming a Profound Immortal!
This process isn't instantaneous.
Ordinary True Immortals might take ten thousand years, or even longer, to condense the Five Qi within their chest.
However, for Su Xing, this process would be much faster.
Not to mention the boost from his Late Bloomer talent, Su Xing possesses the Five Element Sacred Body, and his understanding of the Five Elements Dao is sufficient, allowing him to condense the Five Qi within his chest far quicker than ordinary cultivators.
"In this simulation, I should try my best to condense one or two of the Five Qi… to lay a foundation for the future!"
"However, for now, I need to continue with Immersive Simulation to enhance my Dao insights!"
Su Xing silently said:
"Use Immersive Simulation, lasting for 70 years…"
[Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation, lasting for 70 years. Cost: 25,500 points of Energy Origin. Remaining Energy Origin: 7,463,393 points.]
The prompt sound faded, and Su Xing's consciousness entered the simulated world.
When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he had arrived in Demon City.
Currently, the situation in Demon City was relatively stable, so Su Xing headed to the Nine Heavens Domain to continue his Dao insights.
…
Several years later, Fifth Heaven Secret Realm.
Su Xing looked at the Enlightenment Tea before him and mused:
"Currently, the number of resources I have for enhancing my Dao insights is increasing…"
"Three cups of Enlightenment Tea, enough for fifty-four years, and with the talent bonus… that's equivalent to nearly ten thousand years of insights."
"Combined with the Dao Comprehension Pills and the Inevitable Enlightenment talent… the three combined mean that each Immersive Simulation can yield nearly fifteen thousand years of insights!"
"This is the biggest advantage of Immersive Simulation!"
"In the future, even if I don't have enough Energy Origin to bring back cultivation… I can't waste these insights!"
Su Xing calculated the types of insights he urgently needed to improve.
The Dao of the Sword had successfully reached the fourth stage, but his Protective Sword Qi hadn't been cultivated to its peak, making it worthy of using Enlightenment Tea to gain insights.
Besides that, Su Xing's Dao of Thunder was still stuck at the third stage, and his Dao of Strength was only at the second stage.
These two Daos also needed improvement.
After making his decision, Su Xing began to cultivate.
Taking out the corresponding Dao Essence artifacts, Su Xing began to comprehend the Daos.
…
In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed.
After the effects of the first cup of Enlightenment Tea dissipated, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and muttered:
"Protective Sword Qi… it truly becomes harder and harder to comprehend as I progress!"
"I spent a full twenty years, with the boost from Enlightenment Tea… only to finally cultivate 4,900 strands of Protective Sword Qi!"
"This technique is arguably my strongest offensive ability, isn't it?"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, mentally assessing his strength.
Protective Sword Qi was a technique that combined offense and defense.
Before, Su Xing only had 4,200 strands of Protective Sword Qi, now it was 4,900.
Although it only increased by over seven hundred strands, the power of this ability had significantly increased!
Without exaggeration, the power of Su Xing's Protective Sword Qi had more than doubled!
"4,900 strands of Protective Sword Qi… if combined with my Spiritual Domain, I'm afraid even ordinary Profound Immortals wouldn't be able to break through my defenses!"
"With this, I'll truly be invincible among Profound Immortals!"
"As for Golden Immortals…"
Pausing, Su Xing shook his head.
Having had one or two experiences of fighting against Golden Immortals, Su Xing knew just how vast the gap was between Golden Immortals and Profound Immortals.
Perhaps, once Su Xing condensed the Five Qi within his chest and ascended to Profound Immortal, coupled with a certain Dao reaching the fifth stage, he could potentially contend with a Golden Immortal.
"Golden Immortals who have condensed the Three Flowers atop their heads! The true powerhouses of the Three Thousand Worlds…"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Su Xing's heart.
"But for now, I should prioritize improving my Dao insights…"
Su Xing didn't hesitate. He took out several Dao Essence artifacts related to the Dao of Thunder and began to comprehend them.
…
Cultivation knows no time. The Immersive Simulation ended.
Back in the real world, Su Xing regained consciousness and sensed his enhanced understanding of the Dao of Thunder.
"Excellent, two cups of Enlightenment Tea… plus the Inevitable Enlightenment talent, and my understanding of the Dao of Thunder is only one step away from the fourth stage!"
"It seems that in the next Immersive Simulation, I'll be able to smoothly enter the fourth stage!"
Su Xing still had nine unused Dao Comprehension Pills, which he planned to use to cultivate his Spiritual Domain.
"So, in this simulation, I'll prioritize improving my cultivation to True Immortal Perfection… then find a way to condense the Five Qi within my chest!"
With that thought, Su Xing glanced at the simulation panel.
[In the 150th year, the 70-year comprehension period ends, and your Dao insights undergo a further leap.]
[You decide to continue staying in the Nine Heavens Domain, waiting for your cultivation to reach True Immortal Perfection before leaving.]
[And so, you continue your peaceful cultivation.]
[In the 200th year, your cultivation successfully breaks through and reaches the peak of True Immortal Ninth Realm.]
[You begin to prepare for your breakthrough to True Immortal Perfection.]
[With the help of sufficient spiritual liquid, you spend thirty years and finally successfully break through to True Immortal Perfection! ]
[In the 230th year, after successfully breaking through, you decide to go back and check on the situation in Xia Qingyun Realm.]
[After several years of travel, you return to Xia Qingyun Realm.]
[At this time, the situation in Xia Qingyun Realm has become precarious. The entire front line of Demon City is in chaos, and the Heavenly Abyss Army has suffered heavy casualties.]
[Even the Demon General's manifestation is prepared to perish alongside the otherworldly beings… ]
[Even with your strength alone, you are unable to change Xia Qingyun Realm's fate.]
[So, after informing the Demon General of the intelligence, you prepare to leave Xia Qingyun Realm and begin traveling through the Qingyuan Domain.]
[Along the way, you travel from the direction of Xia Qingyun Realm towards the South Sea Realm.]
[After over twenty years of travel, you finally reach the South Sea Realm.]
[During these twenty years, you've been collecting the resources left behind by the Luotian Sect while also accumulating your foundation, preparing to condense the Five Qi within your chest.]
[In the 250th year, outside the South Sea Realm, you prepare to attempt condensing the first Five Qi within your chest.]
In the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow.
"Finally, reaching the peak of True Immortal… it's time to try condensing the Five Qi within my chest!"
"The Five Qi within the chest – Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth – each condensation is a refinement of immortal energy!"
"Kidney Water Qi corresponds to the body's balance. Condensing this Qi will make the flow of immortal energy within the body as smooth as water, making the casting of spells and techniques more enduring and seamless… significantly reducing the time it takes to cast spells and techniques."
"Heart Fire Qi corresponds to ultimate destructive power, further enhancing the power of immortal energy within the body by a level."
"Liver Wood Qi corresponds to the restoration of immortal energy within the body… condensing this Qi will make immortal energy inexhaustible, greatly increasing the speed of immortal energy recovery!"
"Spleen Earth Qi corresponds to the thickness of immortal energy. If condensed successfully, the amount of immortal energy within the body will increase several times over!"
"Lung Metal Qi corresponds to the sharpness of immortal energy, complementing Heart Fire, further enhancing the power of spells and techniques!"
Su Xing's mind flashed with the different effects of the Five Qi within the chest, and he hesitated, wondering which Qi he should condense first.
"To successfully cross the Endless Sea and reach the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, I need a thick and rapidly regenerating supply of immortal energy!"
"Only by leaving the Qingyuan Domain can I extend the simulation…"
"Therefore, Liver Wood and Spleen Earth Qi should be condensed first!"
Su Xing quickly made up his mind.
First, he would condense the Spleen Earth Qi to make his immortal energy sufficiently thick!
"Condensing the Five Qi within the chest requires different celestial treasures… Spleen Earth Qi requires Earth-attribute treasures and celestial treasures that enhance immortal energy…"
"The sculptures and Five Element Earth that I obtained in the Yellow Sand Realm are perfect!"
Su Xing's lips curved into a smile. He had numerous celestial treasures on hand, saving him the time of searching for and buying these resources.
"Then, I'll focus on condensing Spleen Earth Qi!"
With that thought, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the 251st year, you enter the Luotian Realm and find many insights regarding the condensation of the Five Qi within the chest in the Luotian Sect's Scripture Pavilion.]
[After absorbing all these ancient texts, you return to the South Sea Realm and, using the treasures you previously obtained, begin to condense Spleen Earth Qi.]
[The condensation of the Five Qi within the chest requires a long period of accumulation.]
[Even with your exceptional talent and sufficient resources, it still requires a gradual approach… ]
[In the blink of an eye, over fifty years pass.]
[In the 300th year, after decades of effort, you finally make a breakthrough in your progress towards Spleen Earth Qi.]
[Although you haven't successfully condensed it, your spleen has begun to gradually change, and the immortal energy within your body is five times thicker than before! ]
[The process of condensing the Five Qi within the chest is like the Wind Calamity you experienced before, where your cultivation and strength continuously improve during the tribulation.]
[However, the bad news is that this year, you receive news of Xia Qingyun Realm's destruction! ]
[The otherworldly beings are unstoppable and have destroyed the entire Xia Qingyun Realm, with the Demon General's manifestation fighting to the death.]
[Upon hearing this news, you sigh inwardly.]
[The situation has unfolded as you predicted… so, the otherworldly beings will gradually begin invading the entire Qingyuan Domain.]
[But no matter how tense the external situation becomes, you must continue cultivating.]
[Fortunately, the South Sea Realm is relatively remote, and the otherworldly beings' invasion of this realm isn't too severe, so you can still focus on cultivating.]
[Another fifty years pass… ]
[In the 350th year, your Spiritual Domain expands further, reaching 4,300 zhang.]
[In the 400th year, you continue condensing the Five Qi within your chest. The immortal energy within your body is now several times thicker than it was at the peak of True Immortal.]
[The abundant immortal energy within your spleen greatly enhances the power of your spellcasting.]
[Based on your calculations, you'll be able to successfully condense Spleen Earth Qi within a hundred years at most… ]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly.
"Excellent, in this simulation, I not only broke through to True Immortal Perfection… but also condensed one of the Five Qi within my chest, making significant progress!"
According to Su Xing's knowledge, ordinary True Immortal Perfection cultivators take about three thousand years to condense one of the Five Qi within their chest.
Su Xing's speed far exceeds that of cultivators at the same level, possibly due to the Five Element Sacred Body.
"I wonder if I can successfully condense Spleen Earth Qi before the 500-year mark in this simulation… if I can, I might try crossing the Endless Sea again, and it will be much safer than before!"
"If I can, I might be able to escape Qingyun Zi's pursuit…"
After pondering for a moment, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[You continue to stay in the South Sea Realm, condensing Spleen Earth Qi, and keep an eye on the situation in Xia Qingyun Realm.]
[In the blink of an eye, another sixty years pass.]
[In the 460th year, after several small thousand worlds near Xia Qingyun Realm are completely conquered, the incredibly powerful Star Realm also falls! ]
[The Qingyun Sect still hasn't made a statement. You realize that Qingyun Zi might no longer be able to suppress his Evil Aspect.]
[So, you accelerate the speed of condensing Spleen Earth Qi.]
[In the blink of an eye, another twenty years pass! ]
[In the 480th year, on a beautiful afternoon, you have a sudden epiphany and successfully condense Spleen Earth Qi! ]
[At this moment, you feel that your spleen is vaguely connected to your dantian Qi Sea.]
[The immortal energy within your body is now more than three times thicker than it was at True Immortal Perfection! ]
[Currently, the abundant immortal energy within your body is even thicker than that of many Profound Immortals… ]
[The increase in strength and the ever-thickening immortal energy give you confidence.]
[You know that Qingyun Zi will hunt you down in twenty years.]
[So, you prepare to enter the Endless Sea… ]
In the real world, Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief.
"Whew, I've finally successfully condensed Spleen Earth Qi…"
"Before, when I crossed the Endless Sea, it was extremely dangerous… but this time, the safety should be greatly improved!"
"The Dao of Space and the Dao of Speed have also successfully reached the fourth stage… my escape speed is faster, and my immortal energy is thicker… I wonder if I can cross the Endless Sea within fifty years this time!"
Su Xing was curious about the changes in the Heavenly Mechanism Realm.
Based on the information he obtained from previous simulations, the Heavenly Mechanism Realm was also facing a crisis.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master hadn't appeared, but thankfully, the White Emperor was there, making the Heavenly Mechanism Realm much safer than the Qingyuan Domain overall.
"I wonder how the White siblings are doing…?"
Su Xing felt a pang of longing, wondering what would happen to the siblings' fate without his interference.
With that thought, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the 480th year, you ride the Star Moon Shuttle and begin crossing the Endless Sea… ]
[The first half of the journey is incredibly smooth. You quickly progress, piloting the Star Moon Shuttle.]
[In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.]
[In the 490th year, you reach the first Void Node. After slaying the Profound Immortal Void Beast there, you enter the Void Node.]
[In the 515th year, you reach the second Void Node and successfully pass through… ]
[Now, you are getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, and the Endless Sea has blocked Qingyun Zi's search.]
[Thirty-odd years of Void travel have caused your immortal energy to become somewhat disordered.]
[Fortunately, after condensing Spleen Earth Qi, your immortal energy is much thicker, so you are far from as helpless as before.]
[In the 520th year, you reach the final Void Node. After successfully killing the Void Beast there, you are only a few years of travel away from the Heavenly Mechanism Realm.]
[In the 522nd year, you encounter the Void Beast that nearly killed you before and easily slay it.]
[In the 525th year, after a full forty-five years of travel, you finally cross the entire Endless Sea and successfully reach the Heavenly Mechanism Realm! ]
[You recall the map of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm in your mind and determine that the White Cloud Realm shouldn't be far from here.]
[So, you head towards the vicinity of the White Cloud Realm.]
[However… the once vast White Cloud Realm has been completely destroyed by the otherworldly beings! ]
[Including the White Cloud Realm, dozens of surrounding small thousand worlds… have all been devoured and occupied by the otherworldly beings.]
[You sigh inwardly. As expected, this situation hasn't changed, and due to your absence, the otherworldly beings' invasion speed has increased.]
[You are curious about the whereabouts of the White siblings, so you perform a few divination readings.]
[The divination reveals that Bai Xiaoxiao is dead… and Bai Yutang is still alive.]
In the real world, Su Xing sighed.
"Bai Xiaoxiao, after all, had limited talent… without my help, her cultivation path was destined to be difficult. Coupled with the otherworldly beings' invasion, her death is normal."
"And Bai Yutang, with his innate Lifeless Pulse, his talent must have been discovered. I wonder where he is now?"
Su Xing hoped to reconnect with them, but unfortunately, his arrival at the Heavenly Mechanism Realm was at the wrong time.
If Su Xing had arrived at the Heavenly Mechanism Realm around three hundred years ago, he might have been able to enter the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, become an Outer Pavilion Elder, enjoy the resources, and accelerate his cultivation.
"However, I can try… to lay low in the Heavenly Mechanism Realm and see if I can cultivate peacefully?"
"After all, there's no Qingyun Zi in the Heavenly Mechanism Realm. I should be able to live longer, right?"
Su Xing mused, looking at the simulation panel.
[Seeing that his old friends were gone, and the overall situation in the Heavenly Mechanism Realm wasn't good either.]
[So, you decide to become an independent cultivator, wandering through the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, condensing the Five Qi within your chest while gathering intelligence about the Heavenly Mechanism Realm.]
[Based on your memories, you quickly leave the White Cloud Realm and travel towards the Heavenly Mechanism Realm.]
[In the blink of an eye, ten years pass.]
[Over the past ten years, you have visited six small thousand worlds, two of which have been invaded by the otherworldly beings.]
[Those two small thousand worlds have no living beings left. The entire world has become a desolate wasteland.]
[At this time, you realize that the Heavenly Mechanism Realm's invasion is no less severe than that of the Qingyuan Domain.]
[In the 550th year, you accidentally discover the traces of the Arrival Sect.]
[They are preparing to sacrifice an entire small world to revive a certain otherworldly deity.]
[Naturally, you cannot stand idly by.]
[So, you secretly organize a force and successfully destroy that Arrival Sect stronghold.]
[You are very secretive about your actions. After destroying it, you immediately flee, escaping to a more remote small world.]
[Then, you prepare to start condensing Liver Wood Qi, one of the Five Qi within your chest.]
[Liver Wood Qi requires Wood-attribute celestial treasures and treasures that enhance vitality.]
[The Primordial Vermilion Bird Tree branch you possess is an excellent resource.]
[So, you devote most of your attention to condensing Liver Wood Qi.]
[In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed… ]
[In the 650th year, a faint Liver Wood Qi is born within your body.]
[Although this Qi is weak, it increases your immortal energy recovery speed by over three times.]
[At this time, you finally understand what it means to have inexhaustible immortal energy… ]
[In the past, after releasing spells in battle, you needed to replenish your immortal energy with spiritual liquid.]
[But now, your body absorbs immortal energy, and the speed at which your immortal energy recovers is greatly accelerated, giving you the ability to fight for a longer period.]
[Without condensing Liver Wood Qi, it would be difficult to sustain combat for several years… ]
[Exceptional endurance is the foundation for top-tier powerhouses to fight for decades, even centuries.]
[Moreover, you are still far from completely condensing Liver Wood Qi… so you continue cultivating.]
[In the 700th year, the world where you are cultivating is invaded by the otherworldly beings.]
[The otherworldly beings come in overwhelming numbers, impossible to count… you can only temporarily abandon this cultivation location and find another place.]
[In the 710th year, you find a small thousand world called the Flower Spring Realm. It is a beautiful place, ideal for seclusion, so you stay in this small world, preparing to seclude yourself and continue comprehending the Five Qi within your chest.]
[In the 750th year, after forty years of seclusion, you are getting closer and closer to completely condensing Liver Wood Qi.]
[However, the Flower Spring Realm is also invaded by the otherworldly beings… ]
[You are forced to relocate, but you are targeted by a Level 2 Otherworldly Deity. This Level 2 Deity has the strength comparable to a mid-stage Golden Immortal! ]
[You use all your abilities, but you are still unable to escape its pursuit… ]
[Ultimately, you perish at the hands of this Otherworldly Deity.]
[You die! ]
[Ding, this simulation has ended! ]
Su Xing stared at the simulation text, his eyes wide.
"I actually… just died like that?"
"Damn it, what are these otherworldly beings? Wherever I go… they follow me?"
Su Xing couldn't understand why he was so unlucky, especially since he had the Good Fortune talent.
Unless… the otherworldly beings' invasion of the worlds wasn't random but rather orchestrated by a specific being among them who had targeted Su Xing!
The first person that came to Su Xing's mind was Hong Yue!
"So, Hong Yue is targeting me?"
"No… Hong Yue's main body should be in the Qingyun Realm. There's no way she could reach the Heavenly Mechanism Realm!"
"The most likely culprit… is the Arrival Sect!"
Su Xing rubbed his temples. The Arrival Sect likely had some understanding of his identity, including his inheritance of the Luotian Legacy.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be pursuing him so relentlessly.
"However… the otherworldly beings' invasion of the Three Thousand Worlds is becoming increasingly severe!"
"If an independent cultivator has no backing, even with True Immortal cultivation, they are likely to face danger… even Profound Immortals can't guarantee their own safety!"
Su Xing felt an increasing sense of dread. The otherworldly beings' invasion was indeed a huge blow to the cultivators of the Three Thousand Worlds.
"Alas, it's a pity that Liver Wood Qi… wasn't successfully condensed."
"However, in the next simulation, I should be able to condense two or three more of the Five Qi within my chest… at that rate, I won't be far from becoming a Profound Immortal!"
Su Xing felt a surge of anticipation and looked at the rewards from this simulation.
[Fortune God Body]: Golden talent, costs 10 points of Energy Origin.
[Half-Step Profound Immortal Realm]: Cultivation reaches True Immortal Perfection, condensing the Five Qi within the chest. Currently, Spleen Earth Qi has been condensed, and Liver Wood Qi is close to being successfully condensed. If you can successfully condense all five Qi, reaching the Five Qi Returning to the Origin state, you can smoothly ascend to the Profound Immortal Realm. Costs 1,000,000 points of Energy Origin.
[Spiritual Domain Cultivation Results]: After selecting, your understanding of the Spiritual Domain will significantly improve. Your Spiritual Domain's coverage area will reach 5,000 zhang, the power of spells and techniques within your Spiritual Domain will significantly increase, and you can freely manipulate your Dao insights. Costs 150,000 points of Energy Origin.
"Whoa… it costs 700,000 more Energy Origin just for condensing one more of the Five Qi within the chest?"
Su Xing was startled.
Based on his calculations, it takes 300,000 Energy Origin to ascend from True Immortal Ninth Realm to Perfection.
That means the extra 700,000 is the cost of condensing the Five Qi within the chest.
"Alas, but this cultivation improvement is essential… after I raid the Arrival Sect's treasure vault, I should be able to make a killing!"
Su Xing didn't hesitate. He silently said:
"I choose to bring back Half-Step Profound Immortal Realm cultivation and Spiritual Domain Cultivation Results…"
[You successfully bring back Spiritual Domain Cultivation Results, spending 150,000 points of Energy Origin. Remaining Energy Origin: 7,313,393 points… ]
[You successfully bring back Half-Step Profound Immortal Realm cultivation, spending 1,000,000 points of Energy Origin. Remaining Energy Origin: 6,313,393 points… ]
As the simulation prompt sounded, Su Xing felt two mysterious forces surge into his body.
Su Xing's Spiritual Domain, from 3,500 zhang, directly expanded to 5,000 zhang in radius!
Halfway to the 10,000-zhang Spiritual Domain…
Besides that, the biggest change was Su Xing's cultivation!
From True Immortal Ninth Realm, directly to Half-Step Profound Immortal Realm.
Especially with the condensation of Spleen Earth Qi, the immortal energy within Su Xing's body had become at least three times thicker than before!
Su Xing's heart moved, and he cast several spells.
His immortal energy was depleted slightly, but in a blink of an eye, the lost immortal energy had already recovered.
"Tsk tsk… this immortal energy recovery is like constantly having a blue buff in combat!"
Su Xing smacked his lips. No wonder those powerful cultivators could fight for decades, even centuries…
It turns out that their immortal energy recovery speed was too fast! It was practically impossible to deplete!
"Tsk tsk, this is before completely condensing Liver Wood Qi… if I completely condense it and reach the Five Qi Returning to the Origin state, my immortal energy recovery will be even more terrifying!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
After the simulation ended, Su Xing still had one simulation opportunity remaining.
However, Su Xing didn't plan to simulate immediately.
"For now, I need to save Luo Shuying first!"
Su Xing silently said, and then, with a thought, his divine sense locked onto the figure in the Spirit Race ancestral land.
Su Xing took a few steps, and in just a few breaths, he crossed a distance of ten thousand li and arrived at the Spirit Race ancestral land.
…
Spirit Race Ancestral Land. The Long Protector, who was pursuing Luo Shuying, stopped and warily observed Su Xing, shocked:
"Who are you?"
Su Xing didn't say anything. He didn't give Long Lao a chance to resist. With his powerful soul power, he directly obliterated Long Lao's soul!
In a mere instant, Long Lao stood there, but he had lost his seven souls and six魄, becoming a living corpse!
Looking at Long Lao, who had no ability to resist, Su Xing felt a surge of emotion.
"Once upon a time… this Long Protector was an existence I couldn't defeat…"
"But now, he's nothing more than an ant!"
Su Xing waved his hand, and Long Lao's physical body was stored in the Spirit Field Cavern.
Directly erasing his soul consciousness, although he was dead, his body remained intact.
This would make it easier for Su Xing to refine Long Lao into a puppet in the future.
After killing Long Lao, Su Xing followed the instructions from the simulation and sent a message to Luo Shuying.
A moment later, Luo Shuying appeared before Su Xing.
Looking at the beauty he hadn't seen in many days, Su Xing felt a pang of emotion.
"You've had a tough time these past few days…"
After telling Luo Shuying the general situation, Luo Shuying remained silent for a moment before suddenly asking:
"Senior, in the future… can I stay by your side?"
Su Xing instinctively wanted to refuse.
But then he thought that Long Lao had been made into a puppet by him, and the entire Blue Star Arrival Sect was essentially under his control.
Luo Shuying didn't need to continue being an undercover agent.
So, Su Xing nodded and said:
"You can… since that's the case, you can stay in the Great Xia Capital and handle some things for me!"
Hearing Su Xing's agreement, a rare smile appeared on Luo Shuying's usually cold face…
…
A day later, Great Xia Capital.
Villa.
Jin Congxue looked at Luo Shuying with a wary expression and asked Su Xing:
"Su Xing, who is this?"
Seeing Jin Congxue's expression, Su Xing suddenly felt that things were going to get complicated.
If his identity were revealed at this time, the two women's future interactions might be problematic…
So, Su Xing said:
"Ahem, she's a member of our organization. She was undercover for a while and has just finished her mission. She has nowhere to live… so she'll be staying in the villa and handling some chores for you!"
Su Xing thought for a moment and added:
"By the way, her name is Luo Shuying… her strength is roughly at the mid-Legend stage…"
Jin Congxue was about to say something, but after hearing Luo Shuying's strength, her expression changed slightly. She quickly bowed and said:
"Senior Luo, please give me guidance in the future…"
Luo Shuying, being a cold and reserved person, simply nodded slightly without saying much.
Seeing that the two women were getting along relatively well, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to his dorm, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Cavern.
Taking out Long Protector's body, Su Xing muttered:
"Next, I need to successfully refine this corpse into a puppet!"
"A Dragon Clan body… is a rare material!"
