Chapter 118 – The Terror of a Purple Talent! (Third Update)

Chapter 118 – The Terror of a Purple Talent! (Third Update)

【Year Five: Your strength surged by five hundred thousand jin in just one short year, bringing your pure physical power to five million five hundred thousand jin!】

【But the Demon Emperor Blood Essence was limited — you could only consume just over a hundred jin of it per year, and most of the time you had to make do with Demon King-grade blood essence instead.】

【Yet your talent was astonishing, and combined with your uniquely structured stomach, even Demon King blood essence could add considerable strength to your body.】

【Year Six: You began refining Divine Power Pills.】

【Refining Divine Power Pills was far more complex than ordinary mid-grade pills. Even with your Mastery-level alchemy skills, you could only manage two batches per day.】

【Between cultivation sessions, you refined two batches of Divine Power Pills each day. Over the course of a year, you successfully refined eight hundred Divine Power Pills!】

【Among them, fifty were supreme-grade Divine Power Pills. You kept a portion of the supreme-grade pills for your own use and handed the rest over to the Great Xia Military!】

【This year, your strength skyrocketed to six million two hundred thousand jin!】

Su Xing’s expression was one of excitement as he watched, unable to help nodding repeatedly.

Divine Power Pills were used to help Primordial Martial Realm experts break through to the Divine Power Realm, and could also be consumed during the Divine Power Realm to increase cultivation.

But Su Xing alone couldn’t use that many Divine Power Pills — he estimated that at most he’d only need a few when breaking through.

Giving the remaining pills to Great Xia meant Great Xia would produce more Martial Emperor-stage experts, growing stronger overall. That meant Su Xing would receive more Demon Emperor Blood Essence in return, accelerating his own cultivation!

“Tsk tsk, a purple talent really is something else! Only four years of cultivation and his strength has already increased by one million two hundred thousand jin!”

“This cultivation speed is practically double what it was before!”

“The only question is whether the upper limit of a purple-quality talent’s strength will be higher…”

Su Xing fell into thought. In his previous simulations, the upper limit for his strength growth had been around seven million jin.

Logically speaking, after the talent upgrade, he should have a higher talent ceiling. Su Xing’s expectations weren’t even that lofty — reaching eight million jin, putting him on par with an ancient Wu Clan genius, would be enough.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

【Year Seven: After you delivered the Divine Power Pills to Great Xia’s leadership, Great Xia selected over a hundred veteran Heavenly King-stage Class Users and had them consume the pills.】

【Within a year, the strength of these veteran Heavenly King-stage experts all increased by more than fifty percent.】

【After handing over the Divine Power Pills to Great Xia, you didn’t concern yourself with the matter further, devoting yourself entirely to cultivation and improving your own strength.】

【Because you had been consistently consuming Mind-Condensing Pills over the years, your spiritual sense range had expanded dramatically, reaching seven hundred and fifty zhang.】

【By all rights, such an increase in spiritual sense should have made it easier for you to detect Old Dog Zong’s location. Yet in all these years, you had never once sensed his aura. You could only attribute this to him being far too distant from you.】

【Year Eight: Over the course of this year, the human race produced nearly fifty new Martial Emperor-stage experts one after another, and for a time, the overall strength of the human race surged dramatically!】

【As Martial Emperor-stage experts joined the Demon-Sealing Pass battlefield, the situation at the pass gradually improved, and you were now able to receive over three hundred jin of Demon Emperor Blood Essence per year!】

【With this, your strength surged once more. Consuming one jin of Demon Emperor Blood Essence daily made your qi and blood even more abundant!】

【This year, your strength skyrocketed to seven million jin!】

Su Xing’s face lit up with joy when he saw this. Seven million jin — that was his previous potential ceiling, one he had never reached even after more than twenty years of cultivation in his last simulation. Yet now, he had achieved it in merely the eighth year.

The Strength to Uproot Mountains talent bonus was even more powerful than he had imagined!

“Could it be… that my total strength in the Primordial Martial Realm can reach nine million jin?”

Su Xing’s heart was pounding wildly. Nine million jin of raw force!

If he achieved such growth, then at Divine Power Realm Great Perfection with its twenty-fold multiplier… that would be ninety thousand tons of power!

What would it mean to throw a punch carrying ninety thousand tons of force… Su Xing could barely even imagine it.

Su Xing gazed at the simulation panel with anticipation.

【Year Nine: Thanks to an abundant supply of blood essence, your strength was still in its explosive growth phase, far from reaching your body’s limit. This year, your strength grew to seven million five hundred thousand jin!】

【That same year, your spiritual sense also grew slightly, reaching seven hundred and eighty zhang. Because you had previously given half your Mind-Condensing Pills to Luo Shuying, your supply had been completely exhausted.】

【And since you lacked any other means of cultivating spiritual sense, it ultimately stalled at seven hundred and eighty zhang, unable to advance even an inch further.】

Su Xing frowned slightly at this and murmured:

“Methods for cultivating spiritual sense, huh… Indeed, my spiritual sense growth has been almost entirely reliant on Mind-Condensing Pills. That’s bound to run out of steam eventually…”

“But the Spirit Transformation stage is when spiritual sense truly comes into its own. At that point, I can find a way to cultivate a spiritual sense technique, and only then will my spiritual sense reach its true potential!”

Having thought this through, Su Xing had already incorporated spiritual sense cultivation into his plans. After all, spiritual sense had many uses. Previously, he had only used it for alchemy, where fifty zhang was more than sufficient. But now the Myriad-Mile Tracking Art required spiritual sense.

On top of that, he might learn even more techniques in the future that required spiritual sense, so it absolutely couldn’t be neglected!

“But still! Improving spiritual sense isn’t urgent for now. The most important thing right now is my Body Tempering cultivation!”

“I wonder if I’ll be able to break through to the Divine Power Realm in this simulation!?”

Su Xing looked at the simulation panel with anticipation.

【Year Ten: Your identity was exposed by a spy planted within the Great Xia military. In an instant, all the foreign races and human race alike learned that you were the one responsible for Great Xia producing so many powerful experts.】

【The foreign races were furious. They ordered the Advent Cult to carry out assassinations against you!】

【In just one short year, you suffered over fifty assassination attempts! Among them, there were even Legendary-stage experts making their move. Were it not for Luo Shuying’s help, you would have barely escaped with your life — but Luo Shuying herself was gravely wounded as a result.】

【Yet the Advent Cult’s assassinations continued unabated. You had become the Advent Cult’s number one target in the real world. All of their Elders, Protectors, and even faction leaders regarded you as their foremost enemy!】

【Left with no choice, you could only hide within your Blessed Spirit Field, avoiding going outside as much as possible.】

【This year, the relentless assassinations left you shaken to the bone. From direct attacks and poisonings, to passersby on the street and soldiers in the army… any person within your field of vision might secretly pull out a knife and stab you.】

【Even with your formidable strength, you could hardly endure such frequent assassination attempts.】

【So you came up with a plan: you would meet Luo Shuying once a month at an irregular time that you would share with her alone. During these meetings, she would bring you Demon Emperor Blood Essence, and you would entrust her with the supplementary pills you had refined.】

【Relying on this method, you spent your days cultivating within the Blessed Spirit Field, still maintaining an ample supply of blood essence.】

【Due to years of solitary secluded cultivation, you endured a loneliness that ordinary people could scarcely bear. But your cultivation advanced even more rapidly because of it.】

【This year, your strength surged once again, reaching seven million seven hundred thousand jin!】

【Year Eleven: You spent this year in monotonous cultivation within the Blessed Spirit Field. You could only exchange a few words with Luo Shuying during your monthly meetings, and this gradually deepened the feelings between you.】

【Finally, one day, things naturally progressed to their conclusion, and the two of you consummated your relationship.】

【Year Twelve: You received word from Luo Shuying that the human race’s supply lines at Demon-Sealing Pass had been severed by the demon race, and the front-line situation was dire.】

【You handed over the Fasting Pills and Healing Pills you had been stockpiling over the years to Luo Shuying.】

【When Luo Shuying saw these pills, her heart trembled. In that moment, she finally and completely believed what you had once told her — that you had crossed timelines.】

【This year, your physical strength grew to eight million jin!】

【Year Thirteen: As your strength continued to grow, the rate of increase in your physical power finally began to slow. Unable to tolerate this, you decided to consume one and a half jin of Demon Emperor Blood Essence per day, maintaining your rapid rate of growth.】

【One and a half jin of Demon Emperor Blood Essence was already somewhat beyond your daily energy absorption limit. To compensate, you could only accelerate the absorption through constant physical training.】

【You practiced swordplay for eight hours each day, and also forged a massive eight-million-jin iron sphere from exotic metal. Each day, you tempered your physique and burned through energy by hauling the sphere around.】

【This regimen left you exhausted every day, so you could only meditate for three double-hours daily, using spiritual energy to nourish your body and dispel the fatigue.】

【But your efforts were rewarded. This year, your strength grew to eight million four hundred thousand jin!】

【Year Fourteen: You continued your daily routine of sword practice and lifting the exotic metal sphere to build your strength, but the sphere’s weight increased dramatically each day, growing in tandem with your rising power.】

【You used spiritual energy to control the Separation Fire Technique, melting exotic metal with Separation Fire and fusing it into the sphere. The sphere grew ever larger in volume, until it loomed like a small mountain.】

【This year, your strength reached eight million seven hundred thousand jin!】

Su Xing’s breathing grew rapid as he watched.

Close — even closer now!

Only the fourteenth year, and his strength had already reached eight million seven hundred thousand jin!

This pace was faster than he had imagined!

At this rate, it might not be long before he broke through nine million jin!

“This is incredible… The body tempering talent bonus from a purple-quality talent has already surpassed that of Wu Clan geniuses… Possessing nine million jin of strength at the Primordial Martial Realm — I wonder if anyone among the Wu Clan has ever achieved that?”

For a moment, Su Xing was floating on air, unable to resist comparing himself to that ancient race.

“Almost there — nine million jin, here I come!”

【Year Fifteen: Through your relentless sword practice, your swordsmanship reached ever greater heights. The spirit sword Blackice was already indestructible, and combined with your tremendous strength, shattering a mountain with a single swing was no longer mere legend.】

【This year, you consumed a full five hundred jin of Demon Emperor Blood Essence. Fortunately, the intense fighting at the front lines ensured you had enough blood essence to fuel your strength growth.】

【This year, your strength reached nine million jin!】
