Chapter 315 – The Shocking Secret of Class Users and Blood Moon, Dao Name Spirit Dragon Heavenly Immortal? [8k]
by spirapiraIn the Real World, Su Xing’s expression was invigorated when he saw this.
“So this is the benefit of renown!”
“The identity of a Prodigy List prodigy, combined with my contributions to the Star Realm… is enough to let me rally a sufficiently powerful force in a short time to oppose the foreign races!”
“Add in the help from Celestial Secrets Pavilion, Celestial Demon Prison, Gold Coin Trading Company, and White Emperor City… holding out for another few hundred years won’t be a problem!”
Su Xing clenched both fists. If events truly unfolded as he predicted, then future simulation duration and cultivation progress would increase dramatically!
“If only a single simulation could extend to a thousand years…”
Su Xing felt a surge of anticipation.
The further one progressed in cultivation, the greater the gap between each realm!
If one reached Golden Immortal cultivation with a lifespan of a million years, breaking through even a single minor realm could take ten thousand or even tens of thousands of years…
If Su Xing’s simulations only lasted a mere few hundred years each, they certainly couldn’t keep up with the rapid growth of his cultivation.
“So I still need to delay the foreign races’ invasion as long as possible! They need to give me enough time to develop at the very least…”
Su Xing planned every step carefully, needing to consider not just the present, but the long term as well!
“I wonder how long the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm can hold out this time… let’s see!”
Su Xing murmured, his gaze turning to the simulation panel.
【Over the next several years, you remained in the Star Realm, continuing to comprehend the Great Dao of Killing. Your understanding of killing intent grew ever more refined!】
【In year two hundred and ten, your mastery of the Great Dao of Killing had advanced to the Dao Embryonic Form. When you released the killing intent from your body, even Human Immortal Realm cultivators would have their souls shattered in terror, unable to resist!】
【In year two hundred and twenty, you received unfavorable intelligence from the front lines.】
【The Lesser Azure Cloud Realm had officially fallen completely. What was even harder for you to accept was that… the Celestial Demon General’s avatar had gone missing, its fate unknown!】
【You were deeply worried. Though the death of an avatar would not kill the main body, it would certainly cause irreparable damage!】
【But you kept your composure and waited for further intelligence from the front lines…】
【In year two hundred and twenty-one, you received word from Celestial Demon Prison. The Celestial Demon General’s true body had entered seclusion and was temporarily unable to continue fighting the foreign races…】
【Additionally, the Celestial Demon General instructed you to proceed on your own to the Tianyuan Realm, where he had hired a Golden Immortal to escort you to Celestial Demon Prison for a meeting!】
【After much deliberation, you decided to travel to the Celestial Demon Realm to meet the Celestial Demon General’s true body in person!】
【After all, the Celestial Demon Realm was one of the top Greater Worlds among the Three Thousand Worlds… if you could go there, it would certainly broaden your horizons!】
【Moreover, traveling from the Tianyuan Realm to Celestial Demon Prison required decades or even a century of void navigation… only with a Golden Immortal escort could you be assured of arriving!】
【But the day before you were about to depart, an unexpected incident occurred!】
【Qingyunzi descended upon the Star Realm and, before the eyes of all, performed a soul search on you…】
【As it turned out, Qingyunzi had known your identity decades ago, but due to the Celestial Demon General’s status, he had not acted directly.】
【At the same time, Qingyunzi did not want your identity exposed to the public, as that would hinder his pursuit of Luo Tian’s secret treasury…】
【You were soul-searched by Qingyunzi…】
【Your consciousness gradually dissipated.】
【You died!】
【Ding, this simulation has ended!】
After the simulation ended, Su Xing’s expression was complicated.
“As expected, Qingyunzi found me after all…”
Su Xing wasn’t surprised by this. Previously, even when he had fled far away to the Tianyuan Realm, Qingyunzi had been able to trace him through causal deduction.
This time, Su Xing had been operating within the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm the entire time, so it was hardly surprising that Qingyunzi eventually sensed him.
But what Su Xing had been gambling on was that Qingyunzi wouldn’t dare openly break with the Celestial Demon General, since Su Xing’s identity was that of a prodigy disciple of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Demon General!
Ranked twentieth on the Human List!
Without a doubt, Su Xing had gambled correctly. While the Celestial Demon General’s avatar existed, Qingyunzi had not made a move.
Unfortunately, the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm ultimately fell, the avatar’s fate was unknown, Su Xing lost his protection, and Qingyunzi struck!
“Disregarding my Prodigy List status and attacking by force… it seems Luo Tian’s inheritance holds extraordinary significance for Qingyunzi! Or rather… the side effects of Qingyunzi’s Reverse Severing of the Three Corpses are becoming nearly impossible to suppress!”
Su Xing sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.
“I wonder if, after I fully inherit Luo Tian’s legacy… I can find a way to resolve the problem with Qingyunzi!”
“Even if I could just let Qingyunzi’s self corpse take the dominant position, that would remove a major threat!”
Su Xing currently had no good solution. Qingyunzi was like a blade hanging over his head—whenever the time came, it would claim Su Xing’s life…
“As things stand, either I completely resolve Qingyunzi’s problem…”
“Or I continue to delve deeper into the arts of cause and effect and destiny, run even farther… perhaps I can buy a bit more time?”
Su Xing thought to himself.
His current comprehension of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny was at the Dao Embryonic Form level. If he could reach Initial Glimpse… or even a higher realm, his techniques for concealing his own karmic aura and causal threads would surely improve considerably.
“But for now, let me first look at the rewards from this simulation!”
A look of anticipation flashed in Su Xing’s eyes.
【Five-Element Mutated Super Spirit Root】: Gold talent, priced at 10 origin energy points.
【Great Dao of Killing (Embryonic Form)】: One of the supreme Great Dao laws, a component of the Great Dao of Death. Continuously gain energy through killing, enhancing strength, possessing terrifying combat capability. Current mastery has reached the Dao Embryonic Form level, priced at 30,000 origin energy.
【Great Dao of Thunder Comprehension】: After experiencing the Heart-Shattering Thunder, comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder has advanced further, though still some distance from Initial Glimpse, priced at 80,000 origin energy.
【Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivation】: Third-level Heavenly Immortal realm cultivation, granting a lifespan of forty thousand years, with immortal power as vast as a celestial being’s. One must achieve Initial Glimpse comprehension of a certain Great Dao to break through… priced at 300,000 origin energy!
【Great Dao of the Sword (Initial Glimpse)】: Among the three thousand great Daos, it stands preeminent in offensive power. Through the pure Dao of the Sword, nothing in all of creation cannot be cut down. Priced at 150,000 origin energy.
Su Xing gazed at the rewards before him, somewhat hesitant.
“The rewards from this simulation… are truly difficult to choose!”
Su Xing pondered for a moment.
Cultivation realm was certainly the foundation of everything, but for Su Xing, since he could break through to Heavenly Immortal realm this time, achieving the same in the next simulation wouldn’t be difficult either!
However, the two types of Dao comprehension from this simulation—whether the Sword Dao Initial Glimpse or the Great Dao of Killing Embryonic Form—both had a significant element of luck involved!
If he missed this opportunity, Su Xing didn’t know how long he’d have to wait…
“The comprehension of the Great Dao of Killing was mostly luck, a once-in-a-millennium opportunity! And judging from the Celestial Demon General’s tone, this Great Dao of Killing is hard to comprehend but has immense potential—I have to choose it!”
“And then there’s the Great Dao of the Sword at Initial Glimpse… after two hundred years of painstaking sword cultivation plus ten days of enlightenment, I finally crossed that threshold! I’m no longer at the entry level of Initial Glimpse… and it’s my strongest offensive technique!”
After a pause, Su Xing looked at the Great Dao of Thunder Comprehension.
“The Great Dao of Thunder… it’s still some distance from Initial Glimpse?”
“Perhaps in the next simulation I can break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm again… combined with a Spirit Awakening Pill, I should be able to reach Initial Glimpse in one go!”
Su Xing quickly made his choice, silently declaring:
“I choose to bring out the Great Dao of Killing… and the Sword Dao Initial Glimpse comprehension!”
【You have successfully brought out the Great Dao of Killing comprehension. 30,000 origin energy spent, remaining origin energy: 298,632 points…】
【You have successfully brought out the Great Dao of the Sword comprehension. 150,000 origin energy spent, remaining origin energy: 148,632 points…】
As the simulation notification faded, waves of memories flooded into Su Xing’s mind.
First came the comprehension of the Sword Dao!
Within Su Xing’s consciousness, countless scenes of swinging swords and wielding sword intent surged forth… as though he had spent a thousand years in solitary cultivation, just one person and one sword!
These memory-born insights caused Su Xing’s comprehension of the Sword Dao to skyrocket in a short time!
From the Sword Dao Embryonic Form… he effortlessly crossed into Initial Glimpse… and then progressed much further beyond!
When Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
“Great Dao of the Sword at Initial Glimpse… the power of the Protective Sword Aura should also increase further!”
Before Su Xing could savor his joy, the memory infusion of the Great Dao of Killing that followed was far less pleasant…
Su Xing’s eyes turned bloodshot in an instant… his heart surged with boundless killing intent!
Even an immortal’s mental fortitude could barely contain this endless killing intent…
But after merely a few breaths, clarity returned to Su Xing’s eyes, and his mastery of the Great Dao of Killing had fully crossed into the Dao Embryonic Form!
Su Xing worked to regulate the emotions in his heart and the aura emanating from his body. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, a look of shock within them.
“The Great Dao of Killing… appears to be an extremely powerful supportive Dao!”
“Not only can it purely release killing intent… causing targets to lose their ability to act, taking wide-area effect on a battlefield…”
“More crucially, this Great Dao of Killing can actually combine with other Daos and supernatural arts to unleash terrifying power!”
A thought stirred in Su Xing’s mind. Using his finger as a sword, he slashed out a streak of sword qi.
Then, infusing killing intent into the sword qi, it not only enhanced the sword qi’s power but could even inflict deeper damage, dramatically slowing the target’s recovery speed!
“The Great Dao of Killing combined with the Sword Dao—the blade of slaughter it produces is the perfect counter to body-tempering cultivators!”
Su Xing blinked. If in the next simulation he encountered foreign races that could rapidly regenerate, the Great Dao of Killing would be an absolute hard counter!
Beyond that, the Great Dao of Killing combined with the power of space caused Spatial Severance to carry the attribute of slaughter, enough to make targets lose themselves…
The Great Dao of Killing combined with the Great Dao of Fire amplified fire-based supernatural arts even further, capable of burning away a target’s life force and longevity…
Combined with the Great Dao of Wood… the Great Dao of Strength…
All manner of Daos could complement and enhance the Great Dao of Killing…
“Gaining power through killing… enhancing strength!”
“And Blood Moon is the chief god of slaughter…”
Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly. Now that he had gained a certain comprehension of the Great Dao of Killing, his perspective on Class Users had fundamentally shifted!
Class Users, at their core, gained experience and grew stronger through killing—slaying bosses and monsters in instances!
Could it be that… all Class Users inherently possessed a portion of the Great Dao of Killing?
“That’s impossible… a Great Dao law could never be comprehended so easily!”
“Unless… this power was bestowed by some immensely powerful being!”
Enormous waves surged through Su Xing’s mind as one thread of evidence after another converged!
Blood Moon… the god of slaughter… Class Users… gaining experience and power through killing!
Su Xing took a deep breath and murmured:
“So… the power of Class Users was actually granted by Blood Moon all along!”
“The emergence of Class Users has only been in the last few tens of thousands of years… and Blood Moon began its machinations from that very period?”
“Through the endless killing performed by Class Users… it was preparing for its own resurrection?”
“For tens of thousands of years… all Class Users above Emperor-level who lost themselves and vanished to unknown places… were being ‘reclaimed’ by Blood Moon?”
“And that’s precisely why the Class User power system resembles the foreign races so closely… because the power originates from Blood Moon itself!”
After a pause, Su Xing followed this line of reasoning further.
“Blood Moon directed the foreign races to invade Earth… the reason it was in no rush to completely destroy Earth… was partly to put pressure on Class Users and the people of Earth! To force Class Users to continuously increase their strength!”
“And as Class Users grew stronger, it meant more killing… which in turn provided Blood Moon with more power!”
“That’s precisely why Blood Moon has been able to restore its strength so rapidly over these tens of thousands of years… and eventually resurrect!”
“And Earth’s destruction decades from now… also means Blood Moon has accumulated enough power and no longer needs Class Users!”
At this thought, an ominous premonition rose in Su Xing’s heart.
If this were truly the case, wouldn’t it mean that Blood Moon could effortlessly seize control over the lives and power of all Class Users?
Su Xing himself didn’t particularly care—after all, he was merely a Bronze rank Class User. Blood Moon would have virtually no influence over him…
But what about the Class Users of Great Xia… and of all Earth?
What about Su Xing’s friends and family?
The more they increased their strength, the more they fell under Blood Moon’s control!
“So… how can I change all of this?”
Confusion clouded Su Xing’s eyes. Even if he were a Heavenly Immortal, could he change things and save his family? Could he save Earth’s Class Users?
But soon, determination returned to his gaze. If Heavenly Immortal wasn’t enough, then True Immortal realm!
If True Immortal wasn’t enough… then he would pursue even higher—Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal!
Supreme Unity Golden Immortal, Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
Even if it meant becoming a sage, Su Xing had to accomplish this!
“And to achieve that… my mastery of the Great Dao of Killing and the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny must be sufficient!”
“Only then can I sever the causal connection between Class Users and Blood Moon!”
After a pause, Su Xing continued thinking:
“Since Class Users’ power originates from killing… what about the pills and spirit rice I’ve been providing to Great Xia?”
“Those genuinely enhance one’s power! Is this power… independent of Blood Moon?”
Su Xing fell into deep thought. Power that wasn’t obtained through one’s own efforts would always feel unreliable…
“Perhaps one day, I can use spirit rice and pills to create an entirely new power system for the people of Earth to cultivate?”
“No spiritual root? Then cultivate the body instead!”
“Or perhaps, like the Star Realm… draw power from the stars?”
Su Xing felt this approach might be viable.
But at this moment, Su Xing had another question of extreme importance weighing on his mind.
“Since the Class User power system harbors such a massive hidden danger… then my inability to level up from the very beginning must be an innate advantage!”
“So then… what power was it that separated me from the Class User system, preventing me from gaining power through killing?”
Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly. Vaguely, he felt that a pair of invisible, massive hands had been determining his fate from the very beginning.
“Am I a chess piece, or a child of destiny?”
“Regardless… only by reaching a higher realm can I learn the truth!”
Su Xing took a deep breath, his desire to gain strength burning even more fiercely!
Only on the day when he possessed sufficient strength might he finally uncover the truth…
…
After his strength had grown, Su Xing disguised his appearance and concealed his aura, preparing to go trade with Lu Yuanwu.
This week, Su Xing had purged the malignant qi from eleven Martial Sovereign powerhouses including Lu Yuanwu, ensuring the smooth consumption of the Rebirth Pill.
At the same time, a thousand Primordial Martial Pills had been traded for twenty thousand points of origin energy.
As for the agreed-upon hundred thousand tons of fourth-order exotic metal, that would have to wait until a week later.
After completing the trade, Su Xing carried on as usual, refining puppets.
A week passed quickly, and the date arrived at December 9th.
Su Xing went to the Villa to meet with Jin Congxue.
Over the course of a meal, Su Xing and Jin Congxue conversed happily.
After completing the standard trade process, Su Xing came away with over thirty thousand points of origin energy.
Returning to the spirit field grotto-heaven, the smile that had been in Su Xing’s eyes disappeared, replaced by a grave expression.
“As I suspected… Jin Congxue also has a blood-red thread of cause and effect on her!”
“And Lu Yuanwu… along with the other top Class Users, their threads of cause and effect are even heavier!”
“Could these karmic ties be one of the methods Blood Moon uses to control Class Users?”
Su Xing vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
During this trade, he had specifically divined the threads of cause and effect on Jin Congxue’s body, and discovered that it wasn’t just Jin Congxue — all Class Users, to varying degrees, had connections to Blood Moon!
They all owed Blood Moon a karmic debt…
And the stronger the Class User, the greater the karmic debt they owed!
Moreover, Su Xing had indeed sensed a trace of the Great Dao of Killing from the Class Users!
The Great Dao of Killing on the Class Users seemed to be only a fragment, incomplete, which made Su Xing all the more certain that this power originated from Blood Moon!
“Things… are becoming troublesome!”
“If I want to resolve this issue… my current strength isn’t enough. I must continue to advance my cultivation and Dao comprehension!”
Su Xing didn’t hesitate, his gaze turning to the simulation panel.
“Begin simulation!”
【The 116th simulation begins. Current remaining origin energy: 203,632 points… Remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.】
(Revised: this is the 116th simulation.)
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 point of origin energy. Would you like to draw?】
Su Xing chose not to draw a new talent.
His goal for this simulation was to formally break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm!
And the Super Spirit Root was obviously indispensable!
Spending a few points of origin energy, Su Xing smoothly drew the Five-Element Mutated Super Spirit Root from the talent pool.
【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the gold talent Five-Element Mutated Super Spirit Root. Simulation begins!】
【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you realize you are in a simulation…】
【You go to trade with Lu Yuanwu and successfully obtain one hundred thousand tons of fourth-order exotic metal…】
【Ten days later, you enter the Luotian Instance and gain considerable rewards.】
【For the following period, you seclude yourself on Earth for cultivation…】
In the Real World, Su Xing hesitated upon seeing this. He was contemplating whether to use the immersive simulation for an extended period this time!
“The Late Bloomer talent doesn’t activate until the seventy-seventh year of simulation… If I undergo the Heart-Shattering Thunder tribulation again after the seventy-seventh year, combined with the Spirit Awakening Pill, one month might be enough to directly bring the Great Dao of Thunder to the Initial Glimpse level!”
“But the time before that… can’t be wasted either!”
Su Xing quickly made his decision.
If he used the immersive simulation for seventy years, it would cost roughly twenty-some thousand points of origin energy — a cost Su Xing could fully accept.
And after reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm, Su Xing would inevitably need to advance the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art to the third layer!
Seen that way, why not take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate?
Although the first seventy years without the Late Bloomer talent’s boost meant a slight loss… the overall calculation still came out in his favor.
With this in mind, Su Xing silently intoned:
“Use immersive simulation… duration: seventy years!”
【Ding! You have successfully activated immersive simulation… Total origin energy spent: 25,550 points… Remaining origin energy: 178,079 points…】
As the simulation notification faded, Su Xing found himself within the simulated world.
This was an exceptionally long immersive simulation!
And unlike previous immersive simulations, Su Xing not only needed to cultivate, but also had to fight against foreign races and travel through the Three Thousand Worlds…
Walking through the entire process firsthand would be of tremendous benefit for the future!
“Then, let us begin!”
Su Xing murmured, then commenced his cultivation of the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art.
From then on, aside from necessary meetings, Su Xing devoted nearly all of his time to cultivating the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art.
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.
The third layer of the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art involved absorbing the qi of the four seasons to strengthen one’s Qi Refinement cultivation.
Over the course of ten years, though Su Xing hadn’t fully entered the third layer, he had accumulated considerable insights.
In the eleventh year of the immersive simulation, Su Xing traveled to the Beast Taming World and dealt with the Legendary and Emperor-level foreign race members.
At the same time, Su Xing discovered that his cultivation progress with the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art was most efficient during the twenty-four solar terms.
So Su Xing simply allocated more of his time elsewhere.
Starting in the eleventh year, Su Xing attempted to set up the eighth-order micro spirit-gathering formation!
If he successfully learned this level of spirit-gathering formation, combined with his own Super Spirit Root, even if his efficiency at absorbing spiritual energy and cultivating couldn’t match the Ethereal Root, it wouldn’t be far off…
In the twenty-seventh year of the immersive simulation, Su Xing finally mastered the eighth-order micro spirit-gathering formation completely.
This was thanks to Su Xing’s foundations that approached the level of a Formation Dao Grand Grandmaster, which allowed him to learn it so quickly.
“But the ninth-order micro spirit-gathering formation that comes next… won’t be nearly as easy!”
Su Xing gazed at the eighth-order micro spirit-gathering formation at his dantian, brow slightly furrowed.
The Five Elements Master, when originally creating the micro spirit-gathering formation, had envisioned the eighth order as the upper limit of what could be constructed.
The Five Elements Master himself had only learned up to the sixth-order micro spirit-gathering formation.
If Su Xing wanted to master the ninth-order micro spirit-gathering formation, he would have to comprehend it entirely on his own.
“Still, the eighth-order micro spirit-gathering formation… is sufficient! At least my spiritual root won’t be a disadvantage for my cultivation speed anymore!”
Su Xing murmured.
…
In the twenty-eighth year of the immersive simulation, Su Xing traveled to the Demon-Sealing Pass to fight against the foreign Demon Saints.
After defending the Demon-Sealing Pass for five years, in the thirty-third year, the Demon Saints retreated.
In the forty-fifth year, a foreign deity of Lesser Divine Power attacked, and Su Xing defeated it.
In the fifty-eighth year, a powerful foreign deity comparable to the Heavenly Immortal realm attacked, and Su Xing still managed to slay it.
In the sixty-fifth year, Su Xing departed from Earth, bringing his family and friends to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.
After settling his loved ones in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, Su Xing piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel toward the Star Realm.
He gifted the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method to the Star Realm, and his prestige there became unmatched.
In the sixty-eighth year, Su Xing piloted the flying vessel onward to the Cangwu Realm.
In the seventieth year, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the Real World…
…
After returning to the Real World, Su Xing’s eyes were initially somewhat dazed, but he quickly employed his memory supernatural art and regained full clarity of mind.
Distant memories surged back into his consciousness, and Su Xing’s heart swelled with boundless emotion.
“Seventy long years… passed just like that, so quickly!”
Su Xing gently closed his eyes, organizing his thoughts and recalling the gains from this immersive simulation.
The third layer of the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art — Su Xing still hadn’t crossed the threshold, but his progress was rapid. He estimated that at most one more simulation, bringing out the relevant insights, would allow him to fully master the third layer!
At that point, Su Xing would possess a cultivation speed seven times that of an ordinary cultivator!
The eighth-order micro spirit-gathering formation — Su Xing had completely mastered it!
Beyond that, Su Xing had also spent decades learning various supernatural arts and techniques.
He had visited several Secret Realms… and after decades of traveling, his understanding of the cultivation world far surpassed what it had been before.
“Now then… it’s time to make full preparations for entering the Heavenly Immortal realm!”
Su Xing murmured, his gaze turning to the simulation panel.
【In the seventieth year, you traveled to the Cangwu Realm. Over the following years, you accumulated resources and foundations, beginning preparations for breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal realm.】
【In the eightieth year, the Late Bloomer talent activated. You spent ten million high-grade spirit stones to engage the Gold Coin Trading Company to guard your breakthrough, ensuring you would not be disturbed during your ascension to the Heavenly Immortal realm.】
【The Gold Coin Trading Company agreed to your request. At an ideal breakthrough location, you formally began your attempt!】
【Taking out the resources you had prepared in advance, you continuously adjusted and expanded the immortal power within your body… Three years passed in this manner!】
【In the eighty-third year, one day you opened your eyes, knowing the moment was ripe, and so you summoned the Heart-Shattering Thunder Tribulation, preparing to transcend it!】
【You consumed the Spirit Awakening Pill. The first Heart-Shattering Thunder fell, and the illusion was shattered in an instant…】
【By the eighteenth day, after experiencing tens of thousands of illusions, with their difficulty constantly increasing, the time it took you to dispel an illusion had lengthened to 1 hour…】
【On the twenty-eighth day, after experiencing over eighty thousand illusions, the time it took you to break through an illusion reached several days…】
【On the twenty-ninth day, each illusion required you to spend several months of time within it…】
【On the thirtieth day, your time spent within each illusion extended to a full year…】
【With the Heavenly Thunder Sacred Body’s enhancement, you possessed a natural advantage in dispelling illusions!】
【The final ten illusions were also successfully broken by you!】
【When the last Heart-Shattering Thunder tribulation was successfully transcended, the aura of your cultivation underwent a sublime transformation!】
【At the same time, you also felt your comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder… further strengthened! It reached the Initial Glimpse level!】
【Just as you were about to break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm, you sensed a disturbance within your personal grotto-heaven…】
【The Spirit Vein Dragon seemed to want to emerge and assist you in breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal realm!】
【Without hesitation, you released the Spirit Vein Dragon!】
【The Spirit Vein Dragon appeared, soaring above the Nine Heavens. After circling once, it exhaled a breath of pure immortal power before you… then returned to the spirit field grotto-heaven!】
【With the enhancement of that breath of immortal qi, the depth of the mana within your body increased by at least a full ten percent!】
【Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the Heavenly Immortal realm!】
In the Real World, Su Xing’s eyes lit up with joy at the sight of this.
“Finally… the simulation’s objective has been achieved!”
“The Spirit Vein Dragon actually exhaled a breath of pure immortal qi… With that breath’s enhancement, my foundation is probably considerably better than other Heavenly Immortals at the same realm!”
“And at the same time… my comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder has successfully reached the Initial Glimpse level!”
Su Xing felt fortunate that in his previous simulations he hadn’t chosen cultivation as his reward — otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to enjoy these two windfalls…
With that thought, Su Xing turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
【After the Spirit Vein Dragon’s appearance, many cultivators in the Cangwu Realm sensed the existence of this spiritual creature!】
【Among them, cultivators who had been secretly observing your tribulation transcendence were left speechless with shock!】
【Over the course of several cosmic cycles, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had gradually been depleting… The resources available to cultivators of the Three Thousand Worlds were far less than in ages past!】
【And a supreme post-celestial treasure creature like the Spirit Vein Dragon was something that only the most elite major sects could possess!】
【But this was absolutely not something that a mere Earthly Immortal… a Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator should be able to own!】
【In an instant, numerous cultivators set their sights on you… harboring thoughts of killing you and seizing your treasure!】
【After breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal realm, you too sensed several gazes upon you. Among them were quite a few whose auras ran deep — enough to alarm even you…】
【And so, you decided not to linger in this realm. Under cover of night, you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel into the void!】
【While traveling through the void, you severed the spirit field grotto-heaven that Qingyunzi had originally gifted you… and opened up a new grotto-heaven belonging to yourself, a full two hundred zhang (666 m) in radius! Its space was even greater than before!】
【In the eighty-fifth year, you successfully arrived at the Spirit Beast Realm. After staying in this realm for several months, you acquired resources and set off for an even more distant lesser chiliocosm…】
【And within these short one or two years, you were already subjected to numerous assassination attempts by cultivators!】
【Several Heavenly Immortal realm cultivators… among them even a late-stage Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator tried to kill you!】
【Fortunately, your strength was exceptional. While fleeing and shielding your karmic secrets along the way, you not only killed that late-stage Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator in return… but also successfully escaped to the Tianyin Realm!】
【In the eighty-eighth year, you received a piece of intelligence — you… had been listed on the Prodigy List’s Human List!】
【Your Dao name on the Prodigy List was Spirit Dragon Heavenly Immortal! Famous for possessing a Spirit Vein Dragon, your greatest battle achievement was slaying a late-stage Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator while only at early-stage Heavenly Immortal realm! You were ranked fifty-ninth on the Prodigy List!】
【This time in the simulation, your widespread fame was not what you desired. Fortunately, you were skilled in the Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny, able to shield your own aura — making it difficult for even Mystic Immortals to detect you…】
【But unease still lingered in your heart, so you prepared to flee to the Tianyuan Realm, which lay a hundred spatial nodes away…】
