Chapter 461: Crimson Mythical Talent - Heaven and Earth as Formation, New Simulation Begins!
[172nd Simulation Commences, Current Remaining Energy Source: 20,044,992 Points… Remaining Simulation Attempts: 0.]
[Simulation Start!]
[Drawing a Talent requires 1 Energy Source Point, Would you like to draw?]
"Yes!"
[Ding, Congratulations on drawing the Crimson Talent "Heaven and Earth as Formation". The next chance to draw a Golden Talent is 80%, and the chance to draw a Crimson Talent is 20%…]
[Heaven and Earth as Formation]: Crimson Talent. Your innate aptitude for Formation Dao has reached the pinnacle of perfection. If you dedicate your life to this path, you can ascend to the ultimate limits of the cosmos, utilizing Heaven and Earth as your formation, capable of trapping and slaying even Da Luo Golden Immortals.
"Finally, a Crimson Talent!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up. Heaven and Earth as Formation – this was a cultivation art-focused Formation Dao talent!
But unlike Alchemy, Weapon Forging, and others.
Formation Dao was a path that could directly enhance a cultivator's combat strength!
If one were to reach the apex of the Formation Dao, they might not be inferior to a Da Luo Golden Immortal!
In fact, in ancient times, there were supreme Formation Dao Grandmasters who used Heaven and Earth as their formation to ultimately slay Da Luo Golden Immortals!
"Tsk tsk… Heaven and Earth as Formation!"
"If I truly refine this path to its utmost depth, with adequate preparation… I fear no one below the Da Luo realm!"
"If I am lucky enough to obtain some ancient, unparalleled formation… even Da Luo Golden Immortals could be slaughtered by me!"
Su Xing was extremely intrigued by this newly drawn Crimson Talent.
However, due to the countless years of development within the cultivation world, and the experiences left behind by countless geniuses and predecessors.
Among the Three Thousand Worlds, the upper limit of Formation Dao was indeed slightly higher than Weapon Dao or even Alchemy Dao.
Furthermore, Formation Dao was one of the most difficult cultivation arts…
"Currently, my understanding of the Formation Dao has reached the Grandmaster level…"
"Though the path of Formation Dao is arduous… but I still have ample time to learn during the next period!"
Su Xing muttered.
Before officially starting the simulation, Su Xing recalled his current attribute panel.

[Special Constitution: Heavenly Thunder Sacred Body]
At only twenty-five years old, Su Xing had achieved the pinnacle of both his Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement at the Golden Immortal realm!
His actual combat strength was approaching the mid-Taiyi Golden Immortal stage!
If such talent were known to other cultivators and immortals, they would surely be astonished.
Since ancient times, there had probably never been a Golden Immortal as young as Su Xing in the heavens and earth.
Of course… the actual time Su Xing had spent cultivating was naturally more than twenty-five years.
"After obtaining the Greater Zhou Tian Stargazing Technique, the Greater and Lesser Zhou Tian Stargazing Techniques have merged into one, but it's only at the beginner stage?"
Su Xing looked at the Cultivation Techniques section of the panel and murmured:
"If the Zhou Tian Stargazing Technique reaches the Small Accomplishment stage, I might be able to push my Cause and Effect Dao to the Sixth Realm!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued:
"As for the Talents section… I currently have a full eight Crimson-level Talents!"
"And I have over thirty Golden-level Talents…"
"Any one of these talents, if given to someone else, could create a genius…"
"But with so many talents, I have become a true numerical monster!"
"Incomparable within the same realm for eternity… and battling across realms is as common as breathing!"
A hint of confidence flashed in Su Xing's eyes. His words were not boastful.
With so many talents, Su Xing truly had the confidence!
"As for the Dao Comprehension section, I have invested countless efforts…"
"A total of ten Daos, with the Five Elements, Sword, Space, and Speed Daos already reaching the Sixth Realm… but the other Daos still need to be improved…"
Su Xing summarized his current strength. It wasn't for pride or arrogance, but to find his weaknesses and address them.
"Ten Daos, each with its own use…"
"In future simulations, I should strive to elevate all these Daos to the Sixth Realm!"
"And the Skills section, the Void Sword still needs continued cultivation, and the upper limit of the Protective Sword Qi is currently 8,100 strands, which also needs to be improved…"
"Among the cultivation arts, the ones that are currently useful to me are primarily Alchemy, Formation, Weapon Forging, and Talisman techniques, and they also need to be further enhanced!"
Su Xing constantly deduced in his mind, saying:
"Taiyi Golden Immortals, they often cultivate for millions of years…"
"Especially those veteran Taiyi Golden Immortals, many of them have cultivated for tens of millions of years or more!"
"With my current strength, I can still contend with those who have entered the Taiyi realm for less than a million years… but if I face those veteran Taiyi who have lived for over five million years… it will be difficult!"
Su Xing estimated:
"However, if my cultivation base reaches the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and the Great Witch Body Refinement Technique reaches the Seventh Layer… coupled with several more of my ten Dao comprehensions reaching the Sixth Realm!"
"At that time, I will likely have no pressure when facing those veteran Taiyi Golden Immortals!"
Su Xing narrowed his eyes, recalling the information in his mind.
"For tens of millions of years, the current five major domains combined, the surviving Taiyi Golden Immortals are only a few hundred at most?"
"But among them, those who can be considered veteran Taiyi Golden Immortals are only a dozen or so…"
"The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion established the Genius Ranking – the Heavenly List… only Taiyi Golden Immortal realm cultivators can be listed."
"Zi Ling Fairy, even among the past Earth List champions, she's considered a top-tier…"
"After she reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, she was able to directly enter the Heavenly List at around 80th place… at that time, she should have had the combat strength of a mid-Taiyi Golden Immortal, right?"
Su Xing made a rough calculation and said:
"The top 50 on the Genius Ranking Heavenly List are basically veteran Taiyi Golden Immortals, and many of them are stuck at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm… they only need a chance to achieve Da Luo Golden Immortalhood, and then roam freely through the heavens and earth, enjoying billions of years of lifespan…"
"If things go well, when my Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement both reach the Taiyi realm, and my Dao comprehension continues to rise, my combat strength will likely approach the late-Taiyi Golden Immortal realm…"
"At that time, I should be able to barely rank around 60th on the Genius Ranking Heavenly List?"
Su Xing's eyes lit up.
60th place on the Heavenly List might not sound impressive, but it's actually incredibly extraordinary.
Imagine, the Genius Ranking Heavenly List is essentially a combat strength ranking!
60th place on the Heavenly List means that among all human cultivators, even including those Da Luo Golden Immortals and the hidden Taiyi Golden Immortals… his combat strength would be among the top 100!
This level of strength is usually possessed by the founding ancestors of top-tier sects within the cultivation world!
"Tsk tsk, without realizing it… I'm almost at this level?"
Su Xing murmured, feeling a lot of things.
Pulling himself back from his musings, Su Xing focused his gaze on the simulation panel.
"But all this is after becoming a Taiyi… for now, let's continue with the simulation and see what happens!"
Su Xing's mind stirred, and he looked at the simulation panel.
[Within the void, you realize you are in a simulation.]
[Five days later, two Demonic Race envoys found you… and invited you to the Void Realm.]
[The two Demonic Race envoys were astonished by your realm – you were already a First-Rank Deity!]
[First-Rank Deity-level Lesser Demons are incredibly significant for the entire Demonic Race… these two envoys quickly realized your importance, and their words towards you were filled with flattery.]
[They even presented you with a gift upon meeting, a total of two thousand pounds of Third-Rank Deity-level flesh and blood essence.]
[You accepted the gift with a hint of surprise and followed the two envoys towards the Void Realm.]
In the real world, Su Xing raised his eyebrows upon seeing this.
"As expected, even the Demonic Race… understands the importance of social etiquette!"
"In previous simulations, I was only a Second-Rank Deity, with a status similar to these two envoys…"
"But after becoming a First-Rank Deity, it's completely different! My status within the Demonic Race has approached that of a Main God."
"That's why these two Deities are so eager to please me, isn't it?"
After a pause, Su Xing thought of something and muttered:
"Looks like I have plenty of leverage to bargain with Crimson Moon this time… four hundred thousand pounds of True God flesh and blood essence, that's not enough!"
Su Xing's eyes brightened, and he looked back at the simulation panel.
[On the way to the Void Realm, the faces of the two envoys changed slightly, and they informed you that they wanted to introduce you to an ancient being.]
[While delivering this message, the two envoys also asked for your opinion; if you didn't agree, you could refuse.]
[You knew it would be Crimson Moon, but how could you refuse such a convenient delivery of flesh and blood essence?]
[Thus, you followed the two envoys to the vicinity of Blue Star, arriving at the deepest layer of the Endless Abyss…]
[Upon seeing Crimson Moon, He quickly dismissed the two envoys and began to win you over.]
[His words were mostly the same as you remembered, but his attitude was much gentler.]
[After some bargaining, you finally settled on a number with Crimson Moon.]
[Within ten years, Crimson Moon would provide you with a total of one hundred thousand pounds of Third-Rank Deity flesh and blood essence, or equivalent value in other resources. The resource supply after that would depend on the situation.]
[This one hundred thousand pounds of Third-Rank Deity-level flesh and blood essence would be provided in two installments.]
[The first installment would be five thousand pounds, delivered within half a year; the second installment would also be five thousand pounds, delivered within three years…]
[After accepting Crimson Moon's conditions, you happily formed an alliance with Him.]
In the real world, Su Xing's heart filled with joy upon seeing this.
"Sure enough, the treatment for a First-Rank Deity is completely different from that of a Second-Rank Deity!"
"Not only do other Demonic Races send gifts upon meeting… the terms offered by Crimson Moon are also much more generous!"
Su Xing made a quick calculation.
One hundred thousand pounds of Third-Rank Deity flesh and blood essence meant ten billion Energy Source Points!
Moreover, the first installment was five billion Energy Source Points, delivered within half a year; the second installment was also five billion Energy Source Points, delivered within three years.
Both the speed and quantity were far higher than before!
"Tsk tsk… a First-Rank Deity already receives such treatment, what if I become a Main God?"
Su Xing couldn't help but wonder, but then shook his head.
Regardless of the terrifying amount of faith required to become a Main God, it was unlikely that Su Xing would be able to achieve that in every simulation within a few years, even if he kept raising his Demonic Race persona's realm.
More importantly, if Su Xing became a Main God, would these benefits still be available?
The reason why Su Xing's Lesser Demon persona, as a First-Rank Deity, received such treatment was twofold:
Firstly, the characteristics of the Lesser Demon Race determined that they needed a large number of Lesser Demon cannon fodder on any battlefield.
Therefore, these Main Gods and even First-Rank Deities were eager to win over Su Xing's Lesser Demon persona.
Secondly, Su Xing's Lesser Demon persona had a shallow foundation, and the combat strength of Lesser Demons was destined not to be too strong… a First-Rank Lesser Demon Deity might sound powerful and have a status comparable to a Main God, but it wouldn't pose a threat to those top-tier Main Gods.
For example, the "Seven Deadly Sins" headed by Slaughter, the seven veteran Main Gods, and the patriarchs of the Ten Great Imperial Clans…
If Su Xing became a Main God and his Lesser Demon followers reached a terrifying number, he might truly threaten their positions.
At that time… they wouldn't be providing resources to Su Xing.
They might even secretly try to sabotage him…
"Sigh, if I hadn't talked with Crimson Moon, I wouldn't have known that the Demonic Race isn't a monolithic entity, but rather has factions within it…"
"However, the Demonic Race is still much more united than the human race!"
Su Xing sighed, and after some thought, formulated a plan for this simulation.
"After extracting enough benefits from the Demonic Race… I should return to my original form and cultivate as soon as possible!"
"After all, my Lesser Demon persona has already become a First-Rank Deity, and it's unlikely to improve much in the short term…"
Su Xing thought so, and his gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[After forming an alliance with Crimson Moon, you followed the two envoys to the Void Realm.]
[Soon, you obtained a small world near the Void Realm, which had been occupied by the Demonic Race.]
[This entire small world was dedicated to breeding low-level Lesser Demons.]
[Due to your improved realm, the Demonic Race's demands for you were higher.]
[Within ten years, they required you to breed ten million low-level Lesser Demons; within one hundred years, they required you to breed two hundred million low-level Lesser Demons.]
[Of course, they would provide you with more flesh and blood essence for this.]
[Every year, the Demonic Race would provide you with flesh and blood essence from the Master to God level, in countless quantities.]
[But based on your calculations, the total value of these flesh and blood essence would be approximately one hundred thousand pounds of Demonic Race True God flesh and blood essence.]
[That is, the equivalent of one billion Energy Source Points…]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this.
"One billion Energy Source Points every year… that's truly sincere!"
"Apart from breeding some low-level Lesser Demons to maintain appearances… I can secretly embezzle at least nine hundred million Energy Source Points…"
Yes, Su Xing intended to embezzle to his heart's content.
As for genuinely breeding low-level Lesser Demons for the Demonic Race?
It was simply impossible!
At most, Su Xing in the real world would only complete the task of breeding ten million low-level Lesser Demons…
As for the Energy Source Points provided by the Demonic Race within a hundred years… those would naturally all belong to Su Xing!
"However, the Demonic Race is still a bit stingy!"
"Let's see if other Demonic Race Deities send me gifts upon meeting!"
Su Xing was a little expectant, and his gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[After joining the Fifth General Legion, you naturally obtained the position of Deputy Legion Commander, and you also controlled a small world specifically for breeding low-level Lesser Demons.]
[For a time, you were the center of attention within the Demonic Race. Throughout the Azure Origin Domain, Deities and above from the Demonic Race longed to meet this newly risen Legion Commander.]
[After all, every legion hoped that their subordinates would have more cannon fodder to reduce casualties among their elite troops.]
[Soon, within just one year, you received numerous gifts from Demonic Race Deities upon meeting.]
[From Third-Rank Deities sending hundreds of pounds of True God flesh and blood essence, to First-Rank Deities and Main Gods sending high-level flesh and blood essence, you accepted them all without hesitation!]
[In just one year, the amount of flesh and blood essence you possessed reached an astonishing number.]
[You made a rough calculation, and this batch of flesh and blood essence would be worth between seven and eight billion Energy Source Points!]
In the real world, Su Xing could no longer hide his excitement.
"Goodness, just by joining the Demonic Race, I can earn at least ten billion Energy Source Points in a single year!"
"This move was truly brilliant!"
"Obtaining flesh and blood essence from the Demonic Race is equivalent to weakening their overall strength… and I can also explore more information, it's truly a win-win!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
"I wonder how much I can gain from the Demonic Race this time…"
His gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[You stayed in this nameless small world, breeding low-level Lesser Demons. In the blink of an eye, several years passed.]
[During these years, Crimson Moon delivered the second batch of flesh and blood essence on time, worth five billion Energy Source Points.]
[Other Demonic Race Deities also presented you with a considerable amount of flesh and blood essence, though not as much as in the first year, but it still totaled around five billion Energy Source Points.]
[And so, another ten years passed…]
[During this period, Crimson Moon recovered to the Main God level and began to lead a group of old subordinates to invade the Azure Origin Domain.]
[In the twentieth year, almost all the Demonic Race Deities with strength in the Azure Origin Domain had already sent gifts upon meeting.]
[Therefore, the amount of flesh and blood essence you received in recent years had decreased… ]
[At this rate, you wouldn't gain much more by staying with the Demonic Race.]
[So, you decided to secretly leave the main Demonic Race camp and find a chance to return to your original form and cultivate.]
[However, just at that moment… an unexpected being contacted you.]
[The current patriarch of the Crimson Eye Demonic Race, the Slaughter Main God – Second Generation Crimson Moon!]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 462: Enlightenment Tea Replication Plan, Flattery from Demonic Race Envoys
In the real world, Su Xing's mind stirred upon seeing this.
"Second Generation Crimson Moon? The current Slaughter Main God… why would he contact me?"
Narrowing his eyes, Su Xing considered a possibility.
"Tsk tsk, it seems this Lesser Demon Deity identity is quite sought after!"
"Two opposing Main Gods, it seems they both want to win me over…"
To verify his thoughts, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the twentieth year, the current Slaughter Main God – Second Generation Crimson Moon contacted you.]
[Just as you expected, the Slaughter Main God's purpose for contacting you was simple – just to ask you not to interfere in his fight against First Generation Crimson Moon.]
[For this, Second Generation Crimson Moon was willing to give you three hundred thousand pounds of Third-Rank Deity flesh and blood essence as a reward.]
[Naturally, you were delighted by this.]
[So, you took advantage of both sides, accepting Second Generation Crimson Moon's reward.]
[To avoid exposure, after taking advantage of both sides, you found an excuse to leave the main Demonic Race camp and went to a deserted void.]
[Returning to your original human form, you went to Qingyun Sect…]
Su Xing smacked his lips and said:
"Tsk tsk, the current patriarch of the Crimson Eye Clan is indeed generous!"
"Three hundred thousand pounds of Third-Rank Deity flesh and blood essence… that's three billion Energy Source Points!"
"Although it's a long time away, it's twenty years later, but I can record it for now!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing said:
"Then next, it's time for my original form's simulation!"
"Although my cultivation base won't improve much in the short term, I can't waste the opportunity for immersive comprehension…"
Su Xing's gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[After arriving at Qingyun Sect, you continued your usual transactions with Qingyun Zi and taught Zi Ling Fairy the Spirit Nurturing Art…]
[In the fiftieth year, after taking all of the Luo Tian inheritance, you arrived at the White Cloud Realm.]
[Over the next fifty years, you entered the Luo Tian Realm within the White Cloud Realm, activated a thirty-fold time flow rate inside and outside, and began to comprehend the Alchemy Dao.]
[In the hundredth year, the Late Bloomer talent successfully triggered, and you prepared to start comprehending Daos.]
"Use Immersive… Duration: 100 Years!"
[Ding… Remaining Energy Source: 20,008,492 Points…]
…
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing's consciousness returned to reality.
"A hundred-year immersive simulation… it's like a blink of an eye!"
Su Xing opened his eyes slightly, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
The feeling of Dao comprehension rapidly improving was as wonderful as always.
"But unfortunately… the Cause and Effect Dao is still stuck at the Small Accomplishment stage of the Fifth Realm…"
Su Xing pondered for a moment. The speed at which his Dao comprehension was improving was a bit too slow.
"Using the Lesser Demon identity to start the simulation, I don't get the Joy +1 bonus, the comprehension efficiency is more than halved, so it's no wonder…"
"But there are still ways to speed up Dao comprehension!"
Su Xing narrowed his eyes and thought of the treasure he possessed – the Luo Tian Mirror!
Besides controlling the time flow rate within the Luo Tian Realm, the Luo Tian Mirror had another important ability – Replication!
Su Xing had tried it before, replicating a piece of Enlightenment Tea took about fifty to one hundred years!
Thus, if Su Xing used a simulation specifically to replicate Enlightenment Tea, he could get dozens more.
These Enlightenment Teas would allow Su Xing to have hundreds of years of additional immersive simulation!
At that time, Su Xing's speed of comprehending Daos would increase by seventy to eighty percent.
"Next time I simulate, I won't use Enlightenment Tea, I'll replicate it and then bring it back to reality… that will maximize efficiency!"
"But unfortunately, the simulator can only take out the same item once, otherwise, I could replicate infinitely…"
Su Xing murmured.
"As for the rest of this simulation… I'll improve the cultivation arts a bit!"
Thinking so, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the two hundredth year, the immersive simulation ended, and you began to delve deeper into the Alchemy Dao in the White Cloud Realm.]
[In the three hundredth year, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's Immortal Vessel arrived.]
[In the three hundred and twentieth year, the Immortal Vessel Defense War broke out…]
[In the three hundred and thirtieth year, after arriving at the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, you prepared to enter the Void Mirror.]
"Use Immersive…"
[Ding…]
…
Soon, the year-long immersive simulation ended.
Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the panel.
"After being enhanced by the Void Mirror, the Cause and Effect Dao is still at the Small Accomplishment stage of the Fifth Realm… it seems my talent in this Dao is indeed mediocre!"
"But it doesn't seem far from the Great Accomplishment stage of the Fifth Realm…"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing said:
"Also, I got some information about bloodline-related heavenly materials from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master…"
"In future simulations, I can find out their locations and collect them when needed!"
"The Heavenly Mechanism Realm's reward has been achieved, the next goal is to explore the location of the Heavenly Sun Grass…"
Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the three hundred and thirty-first year, you left the Heavenly Mechanism Realm and prepared to go to the Heavenly Demon Realm.]
[In the three hundred and seventieth year, you arrived at the Heavenly Demon Realm.]
[Next, you promoted the Rebirth Pill while searching for the location of the Heavenly Sun Grass, and you studied the Alchemy Dao in your spare time.]
[And so, a thousand years passed by leisurely…]
[In the fourteen hundredth year, you explored three regions, none of which contained the Heavenly Sun Grass.]
[You didn't give up and started exploring the fourth region…]
[In the sixteen hundredth year… a chaotic battle broke out in the Heavenly Demon Realm.]
[The Heavenly Demon fought two opponents alone and couldn't spare any attention for you.]
[You died under the combined attack of two First-Rank Deities…]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
With the prompt sound, the last simulation opportunity in Su Xing's hand was also used up.
"Whew… a simulation of sixteen hundred years?"
"In my upcoming plans, that's actually quite good…"
"But the truly valuable parts are the immersive simulations and the acquisition of information!"
Su Xing calculated quickly. A hundred-year immersive simulation only cost three to four thousand Energy Source Points.
Even if Su Xing had more Enlightenment Tea later, he could only have two hundred years of immersive simulation.
On average, each simulation would cost no more than one hundred thousand Energy Source Points.
But Su Xing's strength was steadily increasing!
"When I can't improve my realm… this is indeed the best way to enhance my strength!"
Su Xing murmured.
"For the next six months, I need to act friendly with the Demonic Race, at least until Crimson Moon's reward arrives… accumulate enough Energy Source Points to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal peak!"
"During this time, it's a great time to improve my Dao comprehension and build up my foundation!"
Su Xing stroked his chin. Currently, his foundation was insufficient, so he could only lie low for a while.
As soon as the opportunity arose, Su Xing would be able to advance to the Taiyi realm and make a name for himself…
"Also, Crimson Moon's full resurrection is only a year and a half away… I must find a way to get rid of him before then!"
"Otherwise, Blue Star will be in danger…"
Su Xing took a deep breath, his thoughts churning.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the rewards of this simulation.
"Let's take out the rewards first…"
[Heaven and Earth as Formation]: Crimson Talent, price: 100 Energy Source Points.
[Alchemy Dao Comprehension]: A thousand years of Alchemy Dao comprehension, price: 1 million Energy Source Points.
Looking at the reward list, although the Alchemy Dao comprehension was good, the price of 1 million Energy Source Points was too high.
It was enough for Su Xing to have ten or more immersive simulations in the future, directly taking out the Alchemy Dao comprehension would definitely not be worthwhile.
"Whew… if that's the case, I'll choose to take out the Heaven and Earth as Formation talent…"
As soon as the words fell, he heard the simulator's prompt.
[Ding, congratulations on taking out the Crimson Talent Heaven and Earth as Formation… Remaining Energy Source: 20,008,027 Points…]
Looking at the simulation panel, there were still five days until the next simulation cooldown.
"Next, I'll just wait for those two envoys to arrive…"
Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, gradually concealing his aura in the void.
…
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
At a certain moment, Su Xing, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashing in his dark pupils.
"They're here…"
Su Xing thought to himself.
As soon as the words fell, about a quarter of an hour later.
A passage tore open in the void near Su Xing.
Two Demonic Race figures emerged from the passage.
One was short and monkey-like, with terrifying light emanating from his claws – this was a Shadow Deity, skilled in Spatial Laws.
The other was also humanoid, but with an abnormally large head that took up half of its body… this was a Tuna Deity, a race within the Demonic Race known for their mastery of Destiny Laws.
"Indeed, as the simulation said, these two are First-Rank Deities!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart.
With his original form's strength, if these two Demonic Race Deities discovered his identity, it would be very dangerous.
"Don't panic… as long as I act according to the simulation, there won't be any problems… and I can also get a lot of Energy Source Points!"
Su Xing murmured in his heart.
And after Su Xing discovered these two envoys, they also discovered him.
"Is it him? The newly promoted Deity of the Lesser Demon Clan!"
"The crucial compatriot that the Master mentioned…"
The two envoys exchanged glances, whispering a few words, and then quickly approached Su Xing.
But when they got close to Su Xing, they were both stunned.
"This… this aura!"
"First-Rank Deity?!?"
In Su Xing's line of sight, the faces of these two Demonic Race envoys showed a human-like expression of astonishment.
Then, their gazes towards Su Xing became gentler and more respectful.
"Greetings… my name is Batu, and this is…"
The two envoys spoke in the Demonic Race language, but Su Xing, in his Lesser Demon form, naturally understood.
Under Su Xing's superb acting skills, he showed a hint of vigilance just right.
Next, it was time for Su Xing to show off his acting skills.
Through conversations with the two envoys, Su Xing learned some information.
And soon, he gained their trust.
After that, the two envoys, as in the simulation, wanted to take Su Xing to the Void Realm.
At the same time, just like in the simulation, they gave Su Xing a sum of flesh and blood essence.
Su Xing pretended to store the flesh and blood essence in his spatial storage, but in reality, he directly converted it into Energy Source Points.
In this way, the amount of Energy Source Points Su Xing had on hand reached 40,008,027!
Just a few moments of conversation, and Su Xing had gained a full twenty million Energy Source Points!
"Tsk tsk, this is truly a wonderful moment!"
"Just by moving my lips, I can wait for the Energy Source Points to come in!"
"It seems that the Energy Source Points needed for me to advance to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm are in sight!"
Su Xing's heart filled with joy, and soon, he followed the two envoys, preparing to head to the Void Realm.
But Su Xing knew that Crimson Moon would intercept them soon.
He didn't feel too much pressure, and with the help of the Shadow Deity, the three of them entered a miniature black vessel and disappeared into the void.
…
Half a day later, Su Xing sat in the black vessel, closing his eyes to rest.
The two envoys were piloting the black vessel, continuing their journey through the void.
Each teleportation traversed vast expanses of void.
The speed of this black vessel was even faster than Su Xing's!
"Tsk tsk, the Demonic Race truly has many tricks up their sleeves…"
Su Xing thought to himself.
He casually glanced at the simulation panel, and the new simulation opportunity had already refreshed.
"This simulation is just to get the Enlightenment Tea!"
"So, there's no need for immersive simulation…"
Su Xing silently said:
"Start Simulation!"
[173rd Simulation Commences, Current Remaining Energy Source: 40,008,027 Points… Remaining Simulation Attempts: 0.]
[Simulation Start!]
[Drawing a Talent requires 1 Energy Source Point, Would you like to draw?]
"Yes!"
[Ding, Congratulations on drawing the Golden Talent Twin Souls, the next chance to draw a Golden Talent is 80%, and the chance to draw a Crimson Talent is 20%…]
[Twin Souls]: Golden Talent. Your body possesses two souls, granting you extraordinary talent and mental abilities… but under the influence of two souls, there will occasionally be severe side effects.
Su Xing frowned slightly.
"Twin Souls… two souls in one body?"
"The effect is probably beyond that of ordinary Golden Talents… but the side effects are too obvious…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, his gaze directly falling upon the simulation panel.
[Within the black vessel, you realize you are in a simulation.]
[A month later, you successfully formed an alliance with Crimson Moon.]
[Over the next ten years, you successively received a large amount of flesh and blood essence gifted by the Demonic Race…]
[In the twentieth year, you were approached by Second Generation Crimson Moon, and you promised not to help either side.]
[After receiving the promised flesh and blood essence, you transformed into a human form.]
[You went to Qingyun Sect and successfully made a deal with Qingyun Zi.]
[After that, you left Qingyun Sect and traveled across the Endless Sea, arriving at the Canglan Realm.]
[Based on your intelligence, the Canglan Realm was not at risk of being destroyed within a thousand years, so you safely entered the Luo Tian Realm.]
[You took out the pre-prepared Enlightenment Tea leaves and began to continuously inject mana.]
[As the peak Golden Immortal mana continuously poured in, a piece of Enlightenment Tea identical to the previous one gradually formed… ]
[The entire process took a full sixty years, and you finally successfully replicated the first piece of Enlightenment Tea.]
[During these sixty years, you injected mana every day. If you hadn't had enough immortal liquid to replenish yourself, you would have been drained long ago.]
[So, after resting for about ten years, you began the second replication.]
[In the one hundred and tenth year of the simulation, you started the second replication of the Enlightenment Tea.]
[But after several attempts, you discovered that no matter how much mana you injected, the Enlightenment Tea could not be replicated further.]
[You were filled with doubt and tried taking out another piece of unreplicated Enlightenment Tea…]
[Strangely, this unreplicated piece of Enlightenment Tea could still be replicated successfully.]
[You quickly asked the spirit for an explanation, which was completely different from what it said before about infinite replication… for each type of heavenly material, the Luo Tian Mirror can only replicate it once!]
[The spirit of the Luo Tian Mirror didn't know why this was the case either, only explaining that perhaps because it hadn't been fully repaired, its functions were not as good as before.]
[Though you felt a little regretful after hearing this, you didn't say anything more and continued replicating the Enlightenment Tea…]
In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.
"The Luo Tian Mirror can only replicate once…"
"That means I can get fewer pieces of Enlightenment Tea!"
Su Xing calculated quickly. He currently had three pieces of Enlightenment Tea leaves.
This meant that of the twelve pieces of Enlightenment Tea leaves that Qingyun Zi had given him in the simulation, three had already been replicated.
Therefore, Su Xing could only replicate nine.
Taking out nine pieces of Enlightenment Tea leaves, plus the three he already had, would make a total of twelve!
"If I could trade with Qingyun Zi every time I simulated… I would have a total of twenty-four pieces of Enlightenment Tea leaves…"
"That is, I can drink nine cups of Enlightenment Tea!"
"Based on a cup of Enlightenment Tea lasting eighteen years, it would take 144 years to finish these nine cups."
"If I also include the forty-nine used Enlightenment Tea leaves, that would be a total of…"
"Three more cups of Enlightenment Tea and forty-nine pieces of Enlightenment Pills…"
"However, I can't calculate it that way entirely… Qingyun Zi's nine pieces of Enlightenment Tea can also be replicated once!"
Su Xing made a rough calculation and murmured:
"According to this calculation, spending over two hundred years in immersive simulation… the results of each time I comprehend Daos will be nearly doubled…"
"That meets my expectations!"
After finishing the calculations, Su Xing stopped dwelling on it and looked at the simulation panel.
[In the one hundred and seventieth year, the second piece of Enlightenment Tea was replicated.]
[Then, you replicated the remaining Enlightenment Tea at a speed of one piece every seventy years, taking a total of six hundred years to replicate them all!]
[In the eighth hundredth year, you already possessed twenty-four pieces of Enlightenment Tea.]
[You started trying to replicate the forty-nine used pieces of Enlightenment Tea leaves that Qingyun Zi had traded you.]
[Because the used Enlightenment Tea leaves had greatly reduced medicinal properties, each piece only took ten years to replicate…]
[In the thirteen hundredth year, you successfully replicated the forty-nine used Enlightenment Tea leaves…]
[Having achieved your goal, you felt relieved and prepared to explore the Heavenly Mechanism Realm.]
[At this point, the situation in the Heavenly Mechanism Realm was already precarious.]
[Just a hundred years later, you were hunted by Blood Two.]
[You died!]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
Although the simulation only lasted for fourteen hundred years, Su Xing was not disappointed. Instead, he eagerly focused his gaze on the simulation rewards.
