Chapter 457: Reaching the Pinnacle of Golden Immortal, The Extortion Plan Begins Preparation!
"However, since I started simulating... each simulation has lasted at most two thousand years..."
"With ordinary methods, I'm afraid I'll never be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays..."
Su Xing narrowed his eyes and continued:
"Therefore, extraordinary measures must be taken to shorten the duration of the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays, in order to have a chance of surviving it!"
For ordinary cultivators, the most difficult aspect of breaking through from Golden Immortal to Primordial Immortal isn't the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays.
Instead, it's the accumulation of cultivation base and the enhancement of Dao comprehension.
But for Su Xing, neither cultivation base nor Dao comprehension was a problem.
Only this Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays, which requires a fixed duration of 3,600 years per tribulation, posed a challenge.
To complete all five tribulations, at least 18,000 years are needed, which is impossible for Su Xing in the simulation under normal circumstances.
"Next time I simulate, I'll go ask the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master... see if she has any methods to prematurely experience the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays?"
Su Xing thought to himself.
"However, the greatest harvest of this simulation may not only be the improvement of my cultivation base and the grasp of the future..."
"The real key is that I did indeed notice the existence of that individual among the alien races... Originally, I was in the dark while the enemy was in the light, which was extremely unfavorable to me... but now, we're on the same level!"
Su Xing stroked his chin.
Since Su Xing began simulating over three years ago.
The alien races have always been in the open, while he was hidden in the shadows.
But after his strength increased, Su Xing, in order to obtain energy faster, had to take on some risks.
As a result, the situation changed, and Su Xing became partially exposed.
Until that individual among the alien races, possibly realized that someone like Su Xing existed, but Su Xing remained unaware of them.
At this time, Su Xing was in great danger.
But after this simulation, Su Xing confirmed that there was indeed such an individual among the alien races.
The situation had shifted to a more balanced state...
"Before that individual notices me... I need to improve my cultivation as quickly as possible!"
Su Xing looked at the last remaining simulation opportunity and, without hesitation, initiated the simulation.
"Begin simulation!"
[166th Simulation Started, Current Remaining Energy Origin: 24,791,392 points... Remaining Simulation Attempts: 0.]
[Simulation Starting!]
[Drawing a Talent requires 1 Energy Origin point, do you wish to draw?]
"Yes!"
[Ding, congratulations on drawing the Golden Talent Dragon-Phoenix Body, the next draw for a Golden Talent will have an 80% probability, a Red Talent will have a 20% probability...]
[Dragon-Phoenix Body]: Golden Talent, one of the Hundred Divine Bodies, possesses a trace of the bloodline of the ancient Dragon Clan and the Phoenix, with extraordinary physique and exceptional body refinement talent.
"Hmm? Another Divine Body..."
Su Xing nodded slightly. This Dragon-Phoenix Body was indeed a good talent for stacking attributes.
However, Su Xing's body refinement aptitude was already very high. Unless it was a Red-level talent, the bonus to him would be limited.
"Every little bit helps!"
Su Xing muttered, beginning to think about his plan for this simulation.
"Increase my Qi Cultivation to the peak of Golden Immortal, that's a certainty..."
"Improve the Great Witch Body Tempering Art as much as possible... advance the Speed Dao to the Sixth Realm... and enhance my alchemy skills to the level of Grandmaster."
"And also ask the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master if there's a way to prematurely experience the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays..."
Su Xing reviewed the general plan for this simulation in his mind, then turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[Please choose a talent to enhance...]
"I choose to enhance Late Bloomer..."
[Within the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven, you become aware that you are in a simulation.]
[You travel to the Thousand Islands Realm and engage in a great battle with the Blood Four, a cadre of the Descending Sect...]
[This battle lasts for a year and a half, and you ultimately slay him.]
[You leave behind the Dao Name, Spirit Dragon Golden Immortal... Your reputation begins to spread throughout the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[You travel to the Little Green Cloud Realm, and to ensure the survival of humanity for a longer period, you provide the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion with intelligence.]
[Next, you trade with Green Cloud Child, guide Purple Ling Fairy in the art of nurturing spirits, collect the Legacy of the Luo Heaven Sect... travel to the Heavenly Mechanism Domain...]
[The plan is executed smoothly, and hundreds of years pass in the blink of an eye.]
[Time reaches the three-hundredth year!]
[This year, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's Immortal Vessel descends upon the White Cloud Realm.]
[In the three-hundred and twentieth year, the Immortal Vessel Defense War erupts...]
[凭借着强悍的实力,地榜第一的声望,取得了一次使用虚无之镜的机会.]
[In the three-hundred and thirtieth year, you successfully arrive at the Heavenly Mechanism Realm...]
In the real world, Su Xing's heart stirred, and he silently muttered:
"Use immersive simulation... for 100 years!"
[Ding... Remaining Energy Origin: 24,791,392 points...]
With the prompt sound, Su Xing's consciousness entered the simulated world.
He expertly brewed a pot of Enlightenment Tea, took out numerous Dao Treasures related to the Speed Dao, and began to comprehend the Dao.
In the blink of an eye, more than fifty years passed...
Su Xing, who had been immersed in seclusion, slowly opened his eyes on this day.
The Dao Treasures of the Speed Dao beside him instantly retracted, returning to their original state in the blink of an eye.
"On this day, the Speed Dao... entered the Sixth Realm!"
A flash of brilliance appeared in Su Xing's eyes. He could feel that after the Speed Dao reached the Sixth Realm, his escape speed had increased again!
"Hmm... overall escape speed, about three times faster than before!"
"The effect isn't obvious for short-distance travel... but for long-distance journeys, the effect is astounding!"
Su Xing did a brief calculation.
After the Speed Dao reached the Sixth Realm, the time it would take him to cross the Endless Sea and travel from the Green Element Domain to the Heavenly Mechanism Domain would be halved!
It used to take ten years, but now it would only take about five...
"Not bad, the Speed Dao is indeed a Dao that can be both offensive and defensive... and it's extremely useful to me in reality!"
"Later, when I need to collect the Luo Heaven Legacy, it will be twice as effective!"
Su Xing said with satisfaction.
"Right now, I still have several pots of Enlightenment Tea and over seventy Perfect Quality Comprehension Pills left... which Dao should I enhance next?"
Su Xing pondered for a moment, then turned his attention to the Cause and Effect Destiny Dao!
"Facing the potential risks... the Cause and Effect Destiny Dao needs to be improved urgently!"
"Just so happens that the Great Zhou Heavenly Stargazing Technique is also in hand... it's time to test the difficulty of this divine ability..."
Su Xing didn't hesitate, drank the Enlightenment Tea, and began to comprehend the Great Zhou Heavenly Stargazing Technique.
...
The stars shifted, the sun and moon changed.
In the blink of an eye, over forty years had passed.
In the ninety-fifth year of the immersive simulation, Su Xing used up all the Comprehension Pills and Enlightenment Tea.
"The Cause and Effect Destiny Dao... is truly difficult to comprehend!"
Su Xing frowned slightly.
Forty-plus years of immersive simulation, with the help of Enlightenment Tea and Comprehension Pills, Su Xing's comprehension of the Cause and Effect Destiny Dao was still stuck at the entry level of the Fifth Realm!
And the Great Zhou Heavenly Stargazing Technique hadn't even begun to be mastered...
"Sigh, a long road ahead... it seems this Cause and Effect Destiny Dao will take quite a bit of time..."
Su Xing shook his head, not in a hurry.
"Right now, it's time to visit the Void Mirror..."
Su Xing said, taking a step forward and quickly appearing at the headquarters of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
Successfully entering the Void Mirror, Su Xing asked the spirit for his enhancement choice this time.
"Then let's try... the Void Mirror's enhancement to the Cause and Effect Destiny Dao?"
...
Su Xing's eyes flashed with a phantom, after severing the power of the long river of time, numerous insights flooded his mind, and he fell into a coma...
When Su Xing woke up again, the first thing he did was check his progress in the Cause and Effect Destiny Dao.
"Hmm... still stuck at the entry level of the Fifth Realm?"
Su Xing raised an eyebrow.
He could feel that his comprehension of the Cause and Effect Destiny Dao had greatly improved.
But both Cause and Effect, and Destiny, were top-tier Daos, and Su Xing had no teacher to guide him, only the obscure Great Zhou Heavenly Stargazing Technique.
To make progress in a short period of time... was extremely difficult...
"Let's take it slowly for now... according to the plan, for the next period of time, I won't be short of simulation opportunities..."
Su Xing's eyes flickered slightly.
...
In the Vast Void Realm, Su Xing asked the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master's illusory form in front of him:
"Senior, I'd like to know... is there a way to save time and experience the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays?"
Su Xing asked his question to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master in front of him.
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, the illusory form in front of him frowned slightly and said:
"The Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays, after reaching the peak of Golden Immortal, it comes naturally, a tribulation every 3,600 years... it's predestined, to prematurely experience the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays is not easy..."
At this time, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master changed her tone and said:
"However, it's not entirely without a way..."
"Between heaven and earth, there are Five Decay Poisons, the first of which is the Filth Pill, consuming it can make the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays come more violently, and at the same time, shorten the time to 360 years..."
"Besides this, there are also the Bright Ling Stone, the Fur Axil Scatter, the Foulness Pill, and the Self-Loathing Water, all with the same effect..."
"These five poisons were originally the most toxic substances in the world, created by ancient cultivators. Even if Golden Immortal cultivators accidentally come into contact with them, their strength will be greatly reduced, their cultivation base will be decimated... and there's a risk of death!"
"But, Heaven leaves a thread of life... later, some cultivators discovered that if a cultivator can successfully withstand these poisons, they can experience the five tribulations in just over 300 years, and the effect is even greater!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly asked:
"Senior, then where can these five Five Decay Poisons be obtained?"
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master replied:
"My Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has them... these five poisons are rarely exchanged for, and they are not normally needed, so the price is not expensive..."
Su Xing kept in mind everything the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master had said.
...
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
"The Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays, 3,600 years for one cycle, to fully experience them requires 18,000 years..."
"And the Five Decay Poisons... compress the time of the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays tenfold, and the effect is also ten times more violent?"
"Ordinary peak Golden Immortals would certainly not take such a risk, safely experiencing the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays is the way to go..."
"But this medicine is quite useful to me!"
"After reaching Golden Immortal Perfection, I can take it and quickly break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!"
Pausing, Su Xing continued:
"Right now, it's time to leave the Heavenly Mechanism Domain... and head to the Heavenly Demon Domain!"
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[In the four-hundred and thirtieth year, the immersive simulation ends, you learn from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master about a method to accelerate the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays.]
[You begin preparations to cross the Endless Sea and head to the Heavenly Demon Domain.]
[In the four-hundred and sixtieth year, in just thirty years, you successfully arrive at the Heavenly Demon Domain.]
[Activate the Heavenly Demon Token, and soon, the Heavenly Demon will appear...]
[Over the next few hundred years, you promote the Rebirth Pill, enhancing the overall strength of the Heavenly Demon Domain... diligently cultivate, improve your own cultivation, and search for traces of the Heavenly Sun Grass in the core areas...]
[Time quickly reaches the eighth-hundredth year!]
[This year, your cultivation base successfully breaks through to the late stage of Golden Immortal Ninth Realm.]
[Your internal Yuan Qi Tree reaches eight zhang and two chi in height.]
[Several years later, you, who is far away in the Heavenly Demon Domain, receive news of a large-scale war erupting in the Heavenly Mechanism Domain.]
[This war continues for another hundred years...]
[Until the nine-hundredth year, the war ends with a hard-fought victory for the human race in the Heavenly Mechanism Domain...]
[In the nine-hundredth year, you have explored the planned second region and still haven't found any trace of the Heavenly Sun Grass. You begin exploring the more central regions.]
[In the thousandth year, your Spirit Realm expands to 58,000 li, and your cultivation base improves slightly.]
[…]
[In the one-thousand three-hundredth year, the Southern Barbarian Domain is destroyed.]
[In the one-thousand five-hundredth year, the Green Element Domain is destroyed...]
[This year, the Heavenly Demon Domain faces an unprecedented crisis, with alien race legions from other great domains constantly providing reinforcements.]
[Even you are targeted by several assassination attempts...]
[Fortunately, with the Heavenly Demon General's protection, you don't face any life-threatening danger.]
[Several years later, your cultivation base finally reaches the peak of Golden Immortal Ninth Realm!]
[At this point, your cultivation base has nowhere to progress, reaching Golden Immortal Perfection.]
[If you want to further improve, you must enter the Primordial Immortal Realm...]
In the real world, Su Xing felt a mix of emotions.
"Although the future situation is still not optimistic... the good news is that I have finally reached the peak of Golden Immortal!"
"Next, I need to consider the requirements for breaking through to Primordial Golden Immortal..."
"The Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays... do I have enough Energy Origin?"
Su Xing muttered.
Based on Su Xing's foundation, the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays shouldn't be difficult.
But to advance to Primordial Golden Immortal, the required Energy Origin... is definitely a huge number!
"The Alien Race Deity's False Identity Plan needs to be implemented soon..."
"The strength of my Inferior Demon False Identity also needs to be quickly promoted to the level of a First-Rank Deity!"
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[In the one-thousand six-hundredth year, the Heavenly Demon Domain is invaded by a large-scale alien race invasion...]
[You anticipate the danger in advance, leave the core area of the Heavenly Demon Domain, and transform into the appearance of an Inferior Demon Deity.]
[Crossing the Endless Sea, you return to the Heavenly Mechanism Domain.]
[Afterwards, under the nourishment of the blood essence provided by the alien races, you begin to cultivate followers.]
[In the two-thousandth year, you have a sufficient number of apostles and begin to collect faith power...]
[In the two-thousand six-hundredth year... you use all your faith power to enhance your divinity.]
[Insufficient faith power, your divinity level has not yet reached the level of a First-Rank Deity...]
[A few months later, you are hunted by the White Emperor...]
[You die!]
[Ding, this simulation is over!]
"Another simulation... finally reaching Golden Immortal Perfection!"
Su Xing's expression was somewhat excited.
Now, he was only one Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays away from becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal...
And Su Xing already knew the method to achieve the Heavenly Tribulation of Five Decays.
As long as he had enough Energy Origin, with a few more simulations, Su Xing could achieve Primordial Golden Immortal!
"However, the problem is the Energy Origin!"
Su Xing rubbed his temples. Based on his experience, to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, he would need at least 100 to 200 million Energy Origin!
And Su Xing currently, clearly didn't have that much!
"I have no choice but to transform into an Inferior Demon Deity and extort the alien races..."
Su Xing blinked, thinking about the most suitable location to transform into an Inferior Demon Deity.
"But before that, improving my cultivation is the top priority!"
His gaze fell on the reward list.
[Dragon-Phoenix Body]: Golden Talent, price: 10 Energy Origin points.
[Spirit Realm 60,000 li]: Spirit Domain transformation, reaching the Spirit Realm level, greatly enhancing the power of divine abilities and spatial Daos within the Spirit Realm, the Spirit Realm gradually evolves into the real world. Price: 5 million Energy Origin points.
[Golden Immortal Perfection Cultivation Base]: Price: 1 Energy Origin point.
[Great Witch Body Tempering Art Cultivation Results]: Great Witch Body Tempering Art Sixth Layer Mastery, Yuan Qi Tree eight zhang and eight chi in height, Yuan Qi eternally replenishing itself, price: 5.5 million Energy Origin points!
[Alchemy Insights]: A thousand years (real-time) of alchemy experience, capable of refining up to 15th-order pills, reaching the Grandmaster level in alchemy, price: 1 million Energy Origin points.
Looking at the rewards from this simulation, Su Xing didn't hesitate and extracted all five rewards.
He heard the simulator's prompt sound.
[Ding, congratulations on extracting Golden Immortal Perfection Cultivation Base... Remaining Energy Origin: 24,791,390 points...]
[Congratulations on extracting Great Witch Body Tempering Art Cultivation Results... Remaining Energy Origin: 20,241,392 points...]
[Congratulations on extracting Spirit Realm 60,000 li... Remaining Energy Origin: 19,791,392 points...]
[Congratulations on extracting Alchemy Insights... Remaining Energy Origin: 18,691,392 points...]
[Congratulations on extracting Dragon-Phoenix Body Talent... Remaining Energy Origin: 18,691,381 points...]
As the simulation prompt sound fell, Su Xing's aura changed again.
His cultivation base finally reached Golden Immortal Perfection, with nowhere further to progress.
His internal Yuan Qi Tree grew by one zhang and one chi...
Alchemy insights, Spirit Realm comprehension, Dragon-Phoenix Body, all extracted...
It took Su Xing some time to adapt to the newly gained cultivation and realm, and he nodded in satisfaction.
"In the short term, my Qi Cultivation won't be able to improve..."
"Wait until my internal Yuan Qi Tree grows to nine zhang, nine chi, and nine cun, and the Great Witch Body Tempering Art reaches Sixth Realm Perfection."
"If both of them break through... then I can be considered to have truly entered the Primordial Immortal Realm!"
The improvement in cultivation was within Su Xing's expectations.
However, right now, Su Xing needed to consider new ways to obtain Energy Origin!
"Whether it's the Energy Origin provided by Blue Star or Little Green Cloud Realm, it's a drop in the bucket for me now..."
"Only the Star Stones from the Starry Sky Realm can provide a large quantity..."
"But Star Stones are limited after all, and the tributes from the tribes also take time... and I can't wait that long!"
Su Xing took a deep breath and glanced at the simulation panel.
Three days remained until the next simulation cooldown refresh...
And for Su Xing's Inferior Demon Deity False Identity to reach the First-Rank Deity level, it would take at least several simulations.
And Su Xing would need to simulate as the Inferior Demon for over two thousand years to accumulate that much faith power.
"So, for the next month, I'll consolidate for a while, then enhance my Dao comprehension and the Inferior Demon Deity's realm!"
Pausing, a gleam appeared in Su Xing's eyes.
"However... before that..."
"I need to attract the attention of the alien races!"
Su Xing scratched his head, slightly regretting killing those Descending Sect cadres and alien races who came looking for him.
If he hadn't killed them, after Su Xing transformed into an Inferior Demon Deity, they would have likely come looking for him soon.
"Sigh, I was careless!"
"But it's too late to regret now... in order to quickly attract the alien races to come find me, I need to leak some more of my aura!"
Thinking this, Su Xing's figure flickered, appearing in a desolate wasteland in the Starry Sky Realm.
Then, with a thought, his Alien Form Talent activated!
Immediately, Su Xing's appearance began to gradually change...
At the same time, the aura of an Inferior Demon Deity enveloped the entire Starry Sky Realm...
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 458: Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Perfection, Inferior Demon Plan Initiated!
The power surge from achieving Golden Immortal Perfection and the Great Completion stage of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture washed over Su Xing's body like a tidal wave before subsiding.
Simultaneously, a novel, entirely different power emerged within him.
Second-Order Demigod Peak!
Divine Power comparable to a First-Order Deity!
The Laws of Speed, Space, and Causality & Fate, all reached the Fifth Realm…
His physical strength was roughly equivalent to a peak Golden Immortal cultivator, which was considered average among the heterogenous races.
"Whew… Though this isn't my first transformation, each time it feels incredibly wondrous!"
Su Xing smacked his lips, gradually adapting to the Inferior Demon Deity's physique.
"In terms of sheer power… even though I can be considered a 'half-step First-Order Deity' now, the Inferior Demon's inherent strength is still too weak…"
"My current strength is about that of a late-stage Golden Immortal… I suspect even after this body breaks through to the First-Order Deity realm, it won't surpass my true form's strength…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. Inferior Demons were, after all, the lowest-ranking race among the heterogenous beings.
Although Su Xing had enhanced them multiple times, their overall combat power remained mediocre.
"However… the strength of an Inferior Demon Deity doesn't lie in its own power, but in its strategic importance!"
"A Second-Order Inferior Demon Deity is, in essence, the object of faith for all Inferior Demons. Not only can they rapidly breed new Inferior Demons, but they can also directly grant Divine Power to Inferior Demon Apostles…"
"This is why the status of an Inferior Demon Deity holds such high regard among the heterogenous races!"
Su Xing's eyes flickered.
Based on his calculations, if this Inferior Demon guise were to ascend to the First-Order Deity level, its standing among the heterogenous races would likely rival that of a primary god within the Top Ten Emperor Clans!
Moreover, the heterogenous races would dedicate every effort to nurturing this Inferior Demon avatar!
"Just a little more… and I'll be close to achieving First-Order Deity!"
Su Xing muttered.
…
Su Xing, in his Inferior Demon Deity form, spent about a quarter of an hour in the Starry Realm.
Soon, he sensed that numerous cultivators within the Starry Realm, those above the Heavenly Immortal level, had become aware of his avatar's presence.
Before they could arrive, Su Xing reverted to his true form, tore a rift in space, and reappeared in the Ziwei Tribe.
Everything proceeded flawlessly.
"Next, it's a waiting game…"
Su Xing mentally reviewed the nearby Heavenly Mandate inheritances in the Starry Realm.
"The round trip should take less than a month… though I've already claimed most of the Heavenly Mandate inheritances."
"But with the Law of Speed reaching the Sixth Realm, my operational range will expand…"
"There are probably two more Heavenly Mandate inheritances I can obtain… I can't waste them!"
With this thought, Su Xing moved, appearing in the void before swiftly heading towards the remaining two Heavenly Mandate inheritance locations.
…
Meanwhile, in an unknown spatial domain, a consciousness stirred from slumber.
Two First-Order Deities materialized before it.
"It's happened again… I can feel it, a new kin!"
"An Inferior Demon Deity… It will be invaluable to our upcoming war!"
"Spare no effort… hasten to that place and bring it back…"
With those words, the mysterious consciousness fell back into a deep sleep.
At the same time, the two First-Order Deities sped towards the Starry Realm.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, bringing the date to February 17th, New Era 2027.
On this day, Su Xing successfully obtained the two planned inheritances.
"Two Heavenly Mandate inheritances yielded nearly eight million Energy Origin points…"
"My remaining simulation attempts have reached three, and the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture is close to reaching the Sixth Realm's Great Completion… It's time to observe the heterogenous races' movements!"
Su Xing's mind stirred, and he summoned the Simulation Panel.
"Begin Simulation!"
[The 167th Simulation begins, currently possessing 26,691,381 Energy Origin points… 2 simulation attempts remaining.]
[Simulation Start!]
[Drawing a talent requires 1 Energy Origin point, do you wish to draw?]
"Yes!"
[Ding, Congratulations! You have drawn the Golden Talent, Immortal Martial God Body. The next Golden Talent draw probability is 80%, and the Red Talent probability is 20%…]
[Immortal Martial God Body]: Golden Talent, one of the Hundred Divine Bodies. The peculiar traits within your bloodline allow for a better utilization of Qi Refinement and Body Tempering cultivation.
"Immortal Martial God Body…"
Su Xing's eyes lit up upon seeing the newly acquired talent.
This new talent seemed remarkably beneficial and would likely enhance his combat power further.
"Qi Refinement cultivation has reached its limit…"
"Right now, the priority is to push the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture to the Sixth Realm Great Completion as soon as possible!"
"Besides that, I need to see when the heterogenous races will find my Inferior Demon Deity avatar…"
Su Xing already had a plan in mind and turned his attention to the Simulation Panel.
[Please choose the target for the 'Joyful Addition' talent boost…]
"I choose to boost 'Late Bloomer'."
[Within the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven, you realize you are simulating.]
[Half a month later, you return to the vicinity of the Starry Realm.]
[You conceal your aura and mask your celestial fate near the Starry Realm, remaining hidden for roughly half a month…]
[Until the 15th of March, you sense two powerful, malevolent presences descending upon the Starry Realm!]
[Two First-Order Deities from the heterogenous races!]
[One of them is a Shadow Clan First-Order Deity, and the other hails from a race within the heterogenous beings known as the "God Race" – the Tuna Clan!]
[Simply by sensing the auras of these two heterogenous Deity, you swiftly deduce their intentions and depart from the area.]
[Years later, you travel to the Thousand Islands Realm and find Blood Four.]
[Following the plan, you are to kill Blood Four to raise your reputation once again!]
[With your enhanced strength, this time it takes only a year to successfully slay this newly ascended Taiyi Descendant Instructor.]
[Your fame begins to resound throughout the Three Thousand Worlds…]
In the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow at the simulation's output.
"It's the Tuna Clan, huh?"
"It seems the heterogenous races are genuinely concerned about the Inferior Demon Deity!"
Su Xing stroked his chin, recalling the information gathered by the Inferior Demon Deity.
Among the heterogenous races, there were exceptionally gifted clans, even surpassing the Top Ten Emperor Clans.
They were… the God Race!
God Race individuals were born with Divine power, inherently deities!
However, the God Race was exceptionally difficult to propagate, and aside from their elevated starting point, their aptitude was comparable to the Emperor Clans.
Therefore, due to their limited numbers, the God Race within the heterogenous beings remained largely enigmatic and were not the primary force invading the Three Thousand Worlds.
The Tuna Clan was one such race among the God Race, inherently adept at peering into destiny, possessing incredible talent in divination.
"It appears they intend to utilize the Tuna Clan to track me down…"
Su Xing nodded slightly, but he wasn't worried. His Inferior Demon Deity guise was indistinguishable even to saints, let alone these God Race beings.
"So… the heterogenous races' deities will arrive in the Starry Realm in approximately a month."
"I have six or seven more simulation opportunities… enough to elevate the Inferior Demon Deity to the First-Order Deity level!"
Su Xing nodded, satisfied that the timing of the heterogenous races' arrival was opportune and wouldn't cause significant delays.
With that, he returned his attention to the Simulation Panel.
[After killing Blood Four, you swiftly ascend to the top of the Earthly Ranking.]
[Next, you proceed with the plan – travel to the Azure Cloud Sect to trade, guide the Purple Ling Fairy, and collect Heavenly Mandate inheritances…]
[In the thirtieth year, you successfully arrive at the Heavenly Mechanism Domain's White Cloud Realm.]
[Over the next two hundred years, you continue your cultivation as usual.]
[In the three hundred and twentieth year, the Immortal Vessel Defense War breaks out…]
[In the four hundredth year, the Heavenly Yuan Divine Fruit ripens, and your cultivation speed in the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture skyrockets…]
[In the five hundredth year, the Qi Origin Tree within your body grows to nine zhang!]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and silently said:
"Use Immersive Simulation… duration one hundred years!"
[Ding… Remaining Energy Origin points: 26,654,881…]
…
Soon, the hundred-year Immersive Simulation concluded, and Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a look of relief on his face.
"Finally, the Law of Causality & Fate has barely reached the Fifth Realm's Minor Completion…"
"The Great Cosmic Stargazing Technique has finally entered the入門 (entry) stage…"
During this Immersive Simulation, Su Xing used the Enlightenment Tea, the Dao Comprehension Pill, and a guaranteed enlightenment opportunity, all dedicated to comprehending the Great Cosmic Stargazing Technique.
Coupled with a use of the Void Mirror, he managed to push the Great Cosmic Stargazing Technique to the入門 (entry) level.
This demonstrated the immense difficulty of the Law of Causality & Fate…
"Strictly speaking, my talent in this path is merely average. Reaching the Fifth Realm was purely due to resource accumulation."
"Further advancement to the Sixth Realm will likely be even more challenging…"
Su Xing sighed, contemplating whether to continue investing time in the Law of Causality & Fate.
"However, aside from the Law of Causality & Fate… other Dao advancements don't seem particularly helpful to me in the short term…"
"I can't possibly expect the Laws of Space and Speed to reach the Seventh Realm, can I?"
Su Xing shook his head. That would require an astronomical amount of time.
Moreover, attempting to comprehend Sixth Realm Laws before reaching the Taiyi level was inefficient and counterproductive.
"Besides… the question I asked the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master…"
Su Xing narrowed his eyes, recalling the question he posed to the Pavilion Master during the simulation.
In this simulation, Su Xing's question was: Are there Saint-level existences among the heterogenous races?
Upon hearing Su Xing's question, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master replied: Yes, above the Primary God – the Realm of Domination!
"The Realm of Domination… the rulers of all life and death, the rise and fall of beings… heterogenous beings no less powerful than Saints?"
Su Xing took a deep breath. Though he had anticipated this, hearing the name of this realm from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master brought a sense of finality.
"It's too early for me to concern myself with such matters!"
"Right now, my priority is to achieve Great Completion in the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture's Sixth Realm!"
Su Xing turned his gaze back to the Simulation Panel.
[In the six hundredth year, your comprehension of the Law of Causality & Fate reached the Fifth Realm's Minor Completion.]
[Afterward, you prepare to depart for the Heavenly Demon Domain.]
[In the six hundred and thirtieth year, you successfully arrive at the Heavenly Demon Domain.]
[After activating the Heavenly Demon Token, you encounter the Heavenly Demon General… you proceed with your plan to promote the Rebirth Transformation Pill, search for the Heavenly Sun Grass, and cultivate the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture.]
[In the blink of an eye, six hundred and seventy years pass…]
[Time reaches the thirteen hundredth year.]
[Under the Heavenly Demon General's protection, you cultivate safely.]
[The Qi Origin Tree within your body has grown to nine zhang and seven chi, approaching the Great Completion of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture's Sixth Realm.]
[Over these centuries, you explore more core regions.]
[Three out of the ten regions you've designated have been explored, all without finding the Heavenly Sun Grass. You continue your exploration…]
[This year, the Southern Barbarian Domain is completely invaded…]
[In the fifteen hundredth year, the Qi Origin Tree within your body grows to nine zhang and nine chi and nine cun.]
[The Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture finally reaches Sixth Realm Great Completion. You feel you've hit a major bottleneck and can't improve for now.]
[In the same year, the Azure Origin Domain is completely invaded…]
In the real world, Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Finally… the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture has reached Sixth Realm Great Completion!"
"The cultivation goal for this simulation's true form has been achieved…"
"Next, it's time to enhance the Inferior Demon avatar!"
Su Xing pondered.
In previous simulations, the faith power collected by his Inferior Demon Deity was used to enhance divine nature.
That is, the power of the Laws…
For heterogenous races, achieving the Sixth Realm in any one Law signifies reaching the First-Order Deity level.
If one wishes to comprehend other Laws, they can attempt to do so after becoming a First-Order Deity.
Su Xing's choice was… the Law of Space.
"The Law of Space offers exceptional life-saving capabilities… it's the most suitable Law for the Inferior Demon Deity."
"After all, the Inferior Demon avatar possesses the Calamity God Body, and self-preservation is paramount…"
"Once the Law of Space reaches the Sixth Realm, I can enhance the Divine Rank further and fully ascend to First-Order Deity!"
"I wonder what new abilities the Inferior Demon avatar will gain after becoming a First-Order Deity?"
Su Xing felt a flicker of anticipation.
"This simulation is also nearing the time for the Inferior Demon avatar's debut."
He turned his gaze to the Simulation Panel.
[After the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture reaches Sixth Realm Great Completion, you leave the Heavenly Demon Domain's core region and transform into the Inferior Demon Deity.]
[You successfully join the heterogenous races and enjoy numerous resources. You begin cultivating followers.]
[In the two thousandth year, you have over a hundred Inferior Demon Apostles under your command, and countless Inferior Demon followers. You begin collecting faith power…]
[In the two thousand five hundredth year, you dedicate all your faith power to enhancing your divine nature.]
[Your comprehension of the Law of Space rapidly improves…]
[Several years later, you encounter White Emperor's hunt.]
[You die!]
[Ding, This simulation has concluded…]
Su Xing frowned slightly at the simulation's text.
"Strange… Why has the time of the White Emperor's hunt advanced? I recall it being in the two thousand six hundredth year…"
Su Xing pondered. The only explanation was that the situation on the human side had become more dire.
Therefore, White Emperor had accelerated the hunting process…
"Whew, thankfully I used the faith power beforehand…"
Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief, shifting his focus to the simulation rewards.
"Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Sixth Realm Great Completion, here I come!"
[Immortal Martial God Body]: Golden Talent, price: 10 Energy Origin points.
[Spiritual Realm, Sixty-Five Thousand Li]: Spiritual Domain transformation, reaching the Spiritual Realm level. Within the Spiritual Realm, the power of divine abilities and spatial Dao techniques is significantly enhanced. The Spiritual Realm gradually evolves towards a true world. Price: 500,000 Energy Origin points.
[Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Cultivation Results]: Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Sixth Realm Great Completion, Qi Origin Tree nine zhang and nine chi and nine cun. Qi Origin is inexhaustible, and reaching the Seventh Realm is only a step away. Price: 6,000,000 Energy Origin points!
"Naturally, I'll take all three rewards…"
Su Xing didn't hesitate, silently making his choice.
He heard the simulation's prompt.
[Ding, Congratulations! You have obtained the Immortal Martial God Body… Remaining Energy Origin points: 26,654,870…]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture Cultivation Results… Remaining Energy Origin points: 20,654,870…]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Spiritual Realm, Sixty-Five Thousand Li… Remaining Energy Origin points: 20,154,870…]
With the three consecutive prompts, Su Xing felt his physical strength surge once more.
His muscles briefly bulged before returning to normal.
Su Xing's physical strength and power increased by over 30%, finally reaching a state of impeccable perfection.
"Sixth Realm Great Completion… relying solely on physical strength, I'm comparable to a half-step Taiyi Golden Immortal, right?"
"To progress further… I must reach the Seventh Realm!"
Su Xing narrowed his eyes. The Seventh Realm of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture… would further enhance a cultivator's recovery ability and vitality!
If one were to achieve Seventh Realm Great Completion, it would be possible to achieve a level of regeneration where, even if their physical body was completely destroyed, as long as a single drop of essence blood remained, they could regenerate!
"If the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture reaches Seventh Realm Great Completion… below the Da Luo Golden Immortal, no one would be able to kill me!"
Su Xing recalled the requirements for reaching the Seventh Realm of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture.
Blood Qi!
To break through from the Sixth Realm to the Seventh in the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture, there was only one requirement: ultimate Blood Qi!
As long as physical strength and Blood Qi reached a certain level, one could enter this realm!
However, with Su Xing's current accumulation, he was clearly not yet ready.
"I still need… more Heaven-grade treasures to boost my Blood Qi before I have a chance at reaching the Seventh Realm…"
Su Xing muttered.
Whether it was the Taiyi Golden Immortal or the Seventh Realm of the Great Witch Body Tempering Scripture, Su Xing couldn't rush it.
After all, he currently lacked a significant amount of Energy Origin points…
Right now, Su Xing needed to prioritize elevating his Inferior Demon avatar to the First-Order Deity realm.
"The heterogenous races have nearly a month before they arrive in the Starry Realm… for now, I need to return to the Starry Realm's vicinity!"
Su Xing said, tearing a rift in space and using spatial abilities to travel at an astonishing speed towards the Starry Realm.
…
More than twenty days later, a specific void near the Starry Realm.
Su Xing sensed the surrounding void, confirming that there were no dangers before muttering:
"The heterogenous races will arrive in the Starry Realm in at most five days…"
"It's time to transform into the Inferior Demon Deity and prepare in advance!"
With those words, Su Xing's mind stirred, and his entire body rapidly transformed into the Inferior Demon avatar.
After transforming into the Inferior Demon Deity, Su Xing's overall strength significantly decreased. However, there were very few beings near the Starry Realm that could pose a threat to him.
"In five days, those two First-Order Deities will arrive… hopefully, my luck isn't too terrible?"
Su Xing stroked his chin. He planned to remain in this heterogenous Deity form and wait.
"But before officially encountering those two First-Order Deities… let's enhance my realm a bit further!"
Su Xing's eyes flickered as he turned to the Simulation Panel.
At this moment, the panel displayed over twenty million Energy Origin points, with five simulation opportunities remaining!
"Even though I've become an Inferior Demon, it's only a temporary loss of my true form's power… the Simulation Panel is still functional!"
"Well then, let's see what happens when I initiate a simulation directly as an Inferior Demon, how will things change?"
Su Xing felt a hint of curiosity and silently said:
"Begin Simulation!"
