Chapter 320 – The First-Class Treasury Opens, Cultivating to Late-Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm! [8k]
by spirapira【Year two: after arriving in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, you immediately headed to White Emperor City to sell intelligence.】
【Year three: White Emperor Tower issued a bounty order, conscripting independent cultivators to jointly hunt down an Advent Cult branch.】
【You mixed in among them, and in just two or three years, earned twenty million drops of high-grade spirit liquid.】
【Year five: you left the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm. This time, your target was the Yellow Sand Realm!】
【That same year, you arrived at the Black Water Realm, where you found the undersea cavern and obtained part of the Luotian legacy.】
【Year six: you arrived at the Yellow Sand Realm and successfully located the Yellow Sand Palace legacy beneath Yellow Sand City!】
In the Real World, Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this.
The trajectory of this simulation matched his expectations. Su Xing’s plan for this simulation was to find Yellow Sand Daoist’s treasure in the Yellow Sand Palace as quickly as possible.
“For this simulation’s talents, I possess the Yellow Earth Divine Physique, so my compatibility with Yellow Sand Daoist’s inheritance will definitely far exceed last time!”
“I have at least a ninety percent chance of opening the first-class treasury!”
“I just don’t know how many good things are hidden in that treasury…”
Excitement gleamed in Su Xing’s eyes. He then silently recited:
“Activate immersive simulation, duration three days!”
As the simulation prompt sounded, the scene before Su Xing’s eyes shifted, and he appeared inside the Yellow Sand Palace.
No different from previous simulations, Su Xing fought his way through, passing the trials of the Yellow Sand Guardians and Yellow Sand Scorpions one after another.
He also obtained two treasures: the Yellow Sand Sculpture and the Five Elements Soil.
“Yellow Sand Palace third trial — aptitude assessment… please place both hands on the stone platform!”
After clearing the first two trials, a mechanical voice echoed through the hall once more. At the same time, that half-person-tall mystical stone platform appeared in the depths of the hall.
Su Xing took a deep breath, walked up to the platform, and placed his hands upon it.
“I hope my compatibility with Yellow Sand Daoist’s inheritance is sufficient!”
Though he was already fairly confident, some nervousness was inevitable.
Fortunately, the aptitude assessment results did not disappoint Su Xing!
Golden light flashed across the stone platform as lines of text appeared, accompanied by the mechanical voice.
“Qi Refinement: Celestial Immortal realm, fifth layer. Body Tempering: early-stage Celestial Immortal realm. Age below ten thousand years. Cultivation assessment: Grade A-Upper!”
“Five-Element Mutated Super Spirit Root, possesses earth-type Super Spirit Root. Aptitude assessment: Grade B-Upper!”
“Special physique detected in target… deepening assessment…”
“Detected target possesses Blazing Flame Divine Physique… Yimu Divine Physique… Acquired Dao Physique… Yellow Earth Divine Physique!”
“Comprehensive aptitude assessment: Supreme Grade!”
“Inheritance compatibility assessment in progress… comprehensive compatibility: Grade A-Upper!”
All the text slowly faded away, leaving only the bold, flourishing characters “Grade A-Upper” on the stone platform!
Su Xing was thrilled beyond measure. Compared to the previous Grade B-Upper assessment, this Grade A-Upper was undoubtedly a massive improvement!
Just as Su Xing held his breath in anticipation, a light screen appeared on the stone platform, like a virtual projection.
And within the light screen appeared the indistinct figure of an old man.
“Junior… this old man has waited for you for two hundred thousand years. At last, you have appeared!”
A voice laden with the weight of endless ages poured into Su Xing’s ears.
Su Xing’s body trembled at the words, his gaze fixed on the light screen.
The elder’s voice continued.
“Two hundred thousand years have passed… even this old man’s divine intent has dissipated. What you see now is merely a projection supernatural art I left behind…”
“No matter who you are, junior, as long as you have passed the first two trials and achieved a Grade A assessment, you are the successor this old man has been waiting for!”
Su Xing said nothing, simply continuing to listen.
The elder’s voice went on, introducing his identity.
“This old man goes by the title Yellow Sand Daoist, born in the Yellow Sand Realm of this Azure Origin Domain… I roamed the Azure Origin Domain for one hundred and eighty-six thousand years, yet ultimately met my end with regrets unresolved…”
“While preparing to break through to the Golden Immortal realm, I was ambushed by a treacherous scoundrel. My Dao foundation was damaged, and my remaining lifespan was short… I could only barely flee back to my homeland, leaving behind my inheritance to await a worthy successor!”
“Your aptitude is impressive, junior, and your cultivation has reached the Celestial Immortal realm. You are qualified to inherit this old man’s legacy!”
“After you inherit my legacy… this old man has only two requests of you!”
After a pause, the elder continued:
“First, this old man was ambushed by a villain back then. The enemy who killed me was a core disciple of the Advent Cult!”
“If the opportunity arises and you are strong enough one day… you must avenge this old man!”
“Second, this old man rose from humble origins, ascending from a minor realm, and came to know the true scope of this world!”
“This was only because I obtained an inheritance long ago… the legacy arts of the ancient Luotian Sect!”
“After inheriting the Luotian legacy, this old man wished to help restore the Luotian Sect to its former glory… but in the end, I perished and could not accomplish this!”
“And you, junior, if you inherit my legacy, should naturally take up this conviction as well, carrying yourself as a descendant of Luotian…”
“As for this old man’s treasury inheritance… boundless resources, all at your disposal, enough to cultivate to the Mystic Immortal realm!”
“Remember! Remember! The Luotian Sect still has many enemies lurking in today’s Three Thousand Worlds! Without absolute strength, you must never reveal your identity as a Luotian successor!”
“Remember, remember…”
As Su Xing’s mind reeled with shock, the elder’s figure slowly faded away.
“Yellow Sand Daoist… a peak Mystic Immortal realm powerhouse, a mighty cultivator who had comprehended the Great Dao… actually had ties to the Luotian Sect?”
Su Xing finally understood why this peak Mystic Immortal realm cultivator had ended up dying in the insignificant Yellow Sand Realm.
This was simply a great cultivator who, after death, wished to return to his roots…
“A peak Mystic Immortal realm cultivator… Yellow Sand Daoist must have been preparing to break through to the Golden Immortal realm back then!”
“Otherwise, he absolutely could not have amassed so many spirit stones and spirit liquid… these resources are beyond what even a Golden Immortal realm cultivator could produce!”
Su Xing thought to himself.
For an immortal, the total value of one’s assets was constantly fluctuating.
Even Golden Immortal realm great cultivators were usually quite strapped for resources in their daily lives.
For instance, if a Golden Immortal realm cultivator wanted to purchase a post-celestial immortal treasure, they would need to accumulate wealth for a period of time, and after purchasing the treasure, millennia of savings would be exhausted.
Measured purely in terms of spirit stones and spirit liquid, a peak Golden Immortal realm cultivator who had accumulated tens of thousands of years of wealth in preparation for breaking through to Supreme Unity Golden Immortal would possess sufficient spirit stones and spirit liquid for the breakthrough!
This period represented the peak of a Golden Immortal realm cultivator’s wealth!
Similarly, for a peak Mystic Immortal realm cultivator preparing to break through, having accumulated wealth and resources over ten thousand years, possessing more spirit stones and spirit liquid than a Golden Immortal realm cultivator was perfectly normal.
But after expending resources and spirit liquid for the breakthrough, a cultivator’s wealth would naturally depreciate significantly, converted into cultivation…
“Hah… Yellow Sand Daoist’s half a lifetime of savings… ultimately fell into my hands!”
Su Xing took a deep breath and bowed respectfully toward the Yellow Sand Palace.
“Having received another’s grace… I should fulfill their lifelong wish and resolve this karmic debt!”
“Yellow Sand Daoist’s karmic debt… I accept it!”
As Su Xing’s words fell, a faint thread of cause and effect appeared on his body, linking him to the deceased Yellow Sand Daoist.
Yellow Sand Daoist’s goals aligned remarkably well with Su Xing’s own. When Su Xing’s cultivation was sufficient in the future, fulfilling them would be merely a matter of convenience!
At the same time, a mystical formation array flashed beneath Su Xing’s feet, and he was teleported into a treasury.
This treasury was the same one Su Xing had seen before.
Spirit stones and spirit liquid were piled up like mountains within it. The total value of spirit liquid was estimated at over a hundred million, and spirit stones were also around a hundred million.
Su Xing did not stand on ceremony, sweeping all the spirit stones, spirit liquid, along with rare treasures and some inheritance items into his possession.
Just as Su Xing was wondering where the first-class treasury was located, the light of another teleportation array lit up.
Su Xing was teleported into a completely new treasury!
This was the first-class treasury left behind by Yellow Sand Daoist!
The layout of the first-class treasury was nearly identical to the second-class treasury, but the second-class one was far smaller in comparison!
A small stone mountain ten zhang (33.3 m) tall stood here, while the stream below it was far more modest than the one in the second-class treasury.
But when Su Xing approached for a closer look, wild joy immediately flashed in his eyes!
Because this stone mountain was composed entirely of spirit stones — ninety percent of which were high-grade spirit stones — and the peak was formed from supreme-grade spirit stones!
Su Xing swept it with his divine sense and quickly calculated the price of this spirit stone mountain.
Two hundred million high-grade spirit stones, and ten million supreme-grade spirit stones!
Although the spirit stone mountain was smaller than the previous one, its value was three times that of the second-class treasury’s!
Likewise, the small stream of spirit liquid was entirely composed of high-grade spirit liquid, in a quantity no less than two hundred cubic measures — converted, that was two hundred million drops of high-grade spirit liquid!
“I’m rich… I’m truly rich!”
“A peak Mystic Immortal realm Daoist’s wealth amassed while preparing to break through to the Golden Immortal realm… it’s enough for me to cultivate all the way to the Mystic Immortal realm!”
Su Xing wasted no time, moving the spirit stone and spirit liquid mountains into his spirit field grotto-heaven.
Then, he turned his attention to the other treasures in this treasury.
More than a dozen small-mountain-sized shells sat beside the spirit stone mountain.
After approaching, Su Xing immediately recognized them as husks left behind by Yellow Sand Scorpions!
“After the Yellow Sand Scorpions died… their flesh turned to yellow sand, but their outer shells remained!”
“These Yellow Sand Scorpion shells are incredibly hard… the perfect material for forging earth-attribute immortal treasures!”
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and collected the Yellow Sand Scorpion husks.
His gaze continued surveying the surroundings, and he noticed a small mound of earth not far from the spirit stone mountain.
This mound had an unusual shape and gleamed with a strange light.
Su Xing felt mildly curious. He moved closer for a look, and his face lit up with delight.
“It’s Five Elements Soil!”
“And judging by the size of this mound… there must be no less than thirty cubic measures of Five Elements Soil!”
Su Xing was overjoyed. With this Five Elements Soil, he would have no worries about planting spirit herbs in the future!
After collecting the Five Elements Soil, Su Xing retrieved the jade bottle sitting atop it.
“This jade bottle… hm?”
Su Xing blinked. The moment he picked up the jade bottle, a rich surge of spiritual energy emanated from it.
This was… supreme-grade spirit liquid!
“This jade bottle… is actually a storage artifact capable of holding liquids!”
“The supreme-grade spirit liquid inside… amounts to roughly ten million drops, equivalent to one hundred million drops of high-grade spirit liquid!”
Su Xing pocketed the jade bottle with satisfaction, then continued his inspection.
Atop the Five Elements Soil grew over a hundred precious immortal plants, each over a million years old!
Even a Golden Immortal realm cultivator would be tempted at the sight!
There were also quite a few immortal-treasure-grade items scattered about… and Su Xing even discovered two supreme post-celestial treasure weapons!
One of these treasures in particular caught Su Xing’s attention.
“This appears to be… the Yellow Sand Pearl!”
Su Xing gazed at the fist-sized, earth-colored pearl in his hand, sensing the Dao essence of earth flowing within it, and felt a surge of pleasant surprise.
“The Yellow Sand Pearl, ranked one hundred and thirty-sixth on the Treasure Rankings for crafted treasures. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was used to slay a Golden Immortal realm cultivator… so it ended up in Yellow Sand Daoist’s hands?”
The Treasure Rankings maintained by the Celestial Secrets Pavilion were divided into innate treasures, post-celestial treasures, and crafted treasures!
The first two categories comprised treasures born of heaven and earth, including not only offensive treasures but also cultivation-assisting treasures.
The crafted treasure rankings, however, consisted of artifacts forged by the cultivation world’s artifact refiners!
Only those that reached post-celestial treasure grade could earn a place on the list!
And the Yellow Sand Pearl was ranked one hundred and thirty-sixth on the Treasure Rankings!
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a mysterious cultivator had used this treasure to slay a Golden Immortal, thereby earning it a place on the Treasure Rankings!
“Legend has it that the Yellow Sand Pearl combines offense and defense… the yellow sand it creates can devour an immortal’s life force! Moreover, it can help cultivators establish underground kingdoms… undetectable by others!”
“This Yellow Sand Pearl… is truly suited for me!”
Su Xing gazed at the lustrous Yellow Sand Pearl in his hand, knowing full well it held many wondrous uses.
He could explore them one by one in the future!
“Yellow Sand Daoist’s inheritance has been claimed… but now is not the time to settle down and cultivate!”
Su Xing took a deep breath. He planned to first sever his spirit field grotto-heaven, then return to the Yellow Sand Palace to cultivate!
…
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality.
“The trip to Yellow Sand Palace really was incredibly rewarding!”
Su Xing smacked his lips, carefully tallying the wealth he had obtained from the Yellow Sand Realm.
The two treasuries combined were worth nearly four hundred million high-grade spirit stones and nearly five hundred million drops of high-grade spirit liquid!
Over thirty cubic measures of Five Elements Soil, countless spirit treasures, and over a hundred immortal treasures…
One Yellow Sand Pearl, plus another cauldron-shaped supreme post-celestial treasure…
Thousands of spirit herbs… and even dozens of immortal herbs over a million years old!
Two Yellow Sand Guardian puppets, and over a dozen Yellow Sand Scorpion husks.
Countless cultivation techniques and supernatural arts… priceless to ordinary immortals, but nothing special to Su Xing.
“With this fortune… I shouldn’t lack spirit liquid before reaching the Mystic Immortal realm!”
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
【Having obtained sufficient resources from the Yellow Sand Palace treasury, although you wished to cultivate here, you were in no rush.】
【You left the Yellow Sand Realm and headed to the Cangwu Realm.】
【Year ten: in the Cangwu Realm, you established contact with the Gold Coin Trading Company.】
【Displaying your Celestial Immortal realm cultivation, you traded several top-grade immortal treasures for a fist-sized Spatial Origin Stone!】
【You then ventured into the void, found a stable region of space, and carved out a two-hundred-zhang (666 m) spirit field blessed land of your own!】
【You severed the spirit field grotto-heaven that Qingyunzi had given you… and breathed a sigh of relief.】
【Having completed all of this, you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel and returned to the Yellow Sand Realm…】
【Year fifteen: in the Yellow Sand Realm, you formally began your cultivation!】
【Your original cultivation was already not far from the late stage of the fifth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【After five years of arduous cultivation, in year twenty, your cultivation reached the late stage of the fifth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【You continue your arduous cultivation, launching an assault toward the sixth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【Year thirty-seven: your cultivation smoothly advances to the peak of the fifth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【You spend three years accumulating your foundation and pushing through the bottleneck.】
【Year forty: congratulations on successfully advancing to the sixth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm!】
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and gave a slight nod, saying with satisfaction:
“Not bad… in this simulation, reaching the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm shouldn’t be a problem…”
“Beyond that, I can even free up some time to cultivate the Great Dao of Earth!”
Su Xing knew that the Yellow Sand Realm was rich in Earth Dao essence, and he prepared to comprehend the Great Dao of Earth as soon as possible!
Because he possessed the Five-Element spiritual root, comprehending the Great Dao of Earth was essential for breaking through to the True Immortal realm!
With this thought, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【After breaking through to the sixth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm, each advancement in your cultivation requires even more resources, and the difficulty of cultivation has increased considerably.】
【Year fifty-eight: your cultivation reaches mid-sixth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【Year seventy-five: your cultivation reaches late-sixth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm!】
【Year eighty-eight: you smoothly reach the peak of the sixth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm!】
【That same year, you begin attempting to break through to the seventh layer of the Celestial Immortal realm!】
【Stepping into the seventh layer of the Celestial Immortal realm makes you a late-stage Celestial Immortal cultivator, with the magical power within your body increasing by no less than fifty percent… but this bottleneck could trouble a Celestial Immortal for thousands of years.】
【Fortunately, you possess the spirit vein dragon — for cultivators, it is a cheat-like tool for breaking through bottlenecks!】
【The spirit vein dragon can not only enhance the spiritual energy content of spirit veins and grotto-heavens… you’ve also discovered that the spirit dragon can produce a wondrous spiritual energy that helps cultivators achieve breakthroughs!】
【This pure spiritual energy causes considerable damage to the Spirit Vein Dragon, and can only be used once every ten thousand years… but for you, it can be used in virtually every simulation!】
【With the spirit vein dragon’s assistance, in year ninety, you successfully break through to the seventh layer of the Celestial Immortal realm!】
【Congratulations, you have become a late-stage Celestial Immortal cultivator!】
【The magical power within your body is now nearly double what it was at the fifth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm!】
【Your deep foundation makes the density of your magical power comparable to a peak Celestial Immortal cultivator…】
【After advancing to the seventh layer of the Celestial Immortal realm, you continue your arduous cultivation…】
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and gave a slight nod, his gaze drifting to the Spirit Vein Dragon sleeping not far away.
“Not bad… this Spirit Vein Dragon truly is my lucky star!”
“Once the dark energy within it is completely purged… I should also think of ways to help the spirit dragon evolve rapidly!”
Su Xing knew that this Spirit Vein Dragon was currently only in its juvenile stage, and its abilities were limited.
But a mature Spirit Vein Dragon would be so powerful that it would rival Mystic Immortal or even Golden Immortal realm cultivators!
Not only could it assist Su Xing in cultivation, it would also be a formidable combat asset!
“But for now, continuing to break through to the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm… is the priority!”
With this thought, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【After breaking through to the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm, the high-grade spirit liquid you consume each year for cultivation exceeds three million drops!】
【Fortunately, your fortune is substantial. With the Yellow Sand Daoist’s inheritance, you are not lacking in resources.】
【Year one hundred and eight: your cultivation advances to mid-seventh layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【Year one hundred and thirty: you advance to late-seventh layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【Year one hundred and fifty-eight: you smoothly break through to the peak of the seventh layer of the Celestial Immortal realm…】
【You begin preparing for the breakthrough to the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm…】
【After two years of consolidation and cultivation, in year one hundred and sixty, you successfully break through to the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm! The magical power within your body increases by roughly twenty percent once more.】
【After advancing to the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm, cultivation becomes increasingly difficult for you, and you realize that the remaining time is likely insufficient to break through to Celestial Immortal Great Perfection.】
【Therefore, you begin preparing to cultivate the Earth origin…】
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and gave a slight nod.
“If I want to master the Five Elements Great Dao… the Great Dao of Earth is indispensable! But I haven’t even comprehended the Earth origin yet… I’m afraid it will take some time!”
Though he said this, Su Xing knew the matter was unavoidable, so he silently intoned:
“Activate immersive simulation… duration: fifty years!”
【Ding! You have successfully activated the immersive simulation… consuming 18,250 origin energy points, remaining origin energy: 741,080 points…】
As the simulation notification faded, Su Xing’s consciousness entered the simulated world.
This was not Su Xing’s first attempt at comprehending a Dao origin.
In a previous simulation, Su Xing had spent fifty years in the Tianyin Realm, using the innate Fusang tree branch to comprehend the Great Dao of Wood!
The difference was that in this simulation, Su Xing was using the Yellow Sand Sculpture to comprehend within the Yellow Sand Palace.
“Then… let us begin!”
Su Xing took a deep breath, gripping a Yellow Sand Sculpture in his hand, sensing the abundant Earth Dao essence surrounding him. With the enhancement of his Yellow Earth Divine Physique and Acquired Dao Physique, his comprehension of the Earth origin progressed rapidly!
In the first year of immersive simulation, Su Xing achieved entry-level understanding of the Earth origin!
In the fifth year of immersive simulation, the Earth origin reached Minor Mastery!
In the fifteenth year of immersive simulation, the Earth origin reached Major Mastery!
In the thirtieth year of immersive simulation, the Earth origin reached Perfection!
Afterward, Su Xing spent twenty years deepening his comprehension of the Earth origin to an even more complete state.
Ultimately, he drew the Great Dao of Earth into his body, successfully comprehending the Dao Embryonic Form realm of the Great Dao of Earth!
“Fifty long years… the Great Dao of Earth has finally been comprehended!”
Su Xing awakened from his meditation and calculated that there was still a month or two before the immersive simulation ended.
At this point, it was already year two hundred and eight of the simulation.
“I still have one Spirit Awakening Pill… I shouldn’t let it go to waste!”
Su Xing murmured, then produced a smooth, round pill and activated the Great Wisdom state, continuing his contemplation!
Thus, a month passed, and Su Xing’s comprehension was equivalent to another twenty years of studying the Great Dao of Earth!
…
The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality, a look of satisfaction on his face.
“Not bad… I’ve smoothly comprehended the Dao Embryonic Form of the Great Dao of Earth… one more time, and I should be able to reach the Initial Glimpse realm!”
Su Xing let out a long sigh. He had finally experienced firsthand a cultivation speed befitting a Child of Destiny!
“An ordinary cultivator… reaching the Initial Glimpse realm of the Great Dao of Earth… would probably take ten thousand years!”
“But for me… the time spent won’t exceed two hundred years at most! This is the terrifying power of talent!”
Su Xing blinked. Under the enhancement of multiple buff-type talents, Su Xing could be called a humanoid cultivation prodigy!
“This simulation… has also reached its end!”
“Next, I just need to steadily advance my cultivation!”
Su Xing murmured, turning his gaze to the simulation panel.
【Year two hundred and eight: you successfully comprehend the Dao Embryonic Form of the Great Dao of Earth.】
【Afterward, you remain in the Yellow Sand Realm to continue cultivating.】
【In the blink of an eye, twelve years pass…】
【Year two hundred and twenty: the Blessed by Fortune talent sends a warning.】
【You know that Qingyunzi has found you…】
【Knowing you have no way to resist for now, you calmly cultivate for your final day…】
【The next day, Qingyunzi appears before you.】
【Qingyunzi uses the Soul Search Art on you… your divine soul gradually dissipates!】
【You have died!】
【Ding! This simulation has ended!】
In the real world, Su Xing looked at the simulation results before him without surprise.
“Getting closer… I’ve now reached the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm! The True Immortal realm isn’t far away!”
At the thought that he would receive the Luotian Sect’s legacy after reaching the True Immortal realm, Su Xing’s heart surged with excitement.
He turned his gaze to the reward list for this simulation.
【Yellow Earth Divine Physique】: Gold talent, priced at 10 origin energy points.
【High-Grade Spirit Stones x300 Million】: Priced at 3 million origin energy points.
【Celestial Immortal Realm, Eighth Layer】: Eighth layer Celestial Immortal realm cultivation, granting a lifespan of forty thousand years, with magical power as vast as a celestial being’s… priced at 300,000 origin energy points!
【Great Dao of Space Comprehension】: Upon redemption, provides a small boost to Great Dao of Space comprehension, priced at 40,000 origin energy points.
【Portable Grotto-Heaven】: Two hundred zhang (666 m) in radius, carved out by Su Xing using a Spatial Origin Stone, priced at 20,000 origin energy points.
【Yellow Sand Sculpture】: A Dao essence treasure containing comprehension of the Great Dao of Earth, with some comprehension consumed, priced at 500,000 origin energy points.
In this simulation, Su Xing had already obtained comprehension of the Great Dao of Earth, reaching the Dao Embryonic Form realm.
Therefore, the next step was to extract the Yellow Earth Divine Physique and his cultivation!
“I choose to bring out the Yellow Earth Divine Physique talent… and the eighth layer Celestial Immortal realm cultivation!”
【Ding! Congratulations on successfully bringing out the talent Yellow Earth Divine Physique… consuming 10 energy points, remaining origin energy: 741,070 points!】
【Ding! Congratulations on successfully bringing out the eighth layer Celestial Immortal realm cultivation… consuming 300,000 points, remaining origin energy: 441,070 points!】
As the simulation notifications faded, two streams of mysterious energy surged into Su Xing’s body.
The Yellow Earth Divine Physique officially became Su Xing’s twenty-fifth talent!
With this, Su Xing’s talent slots were full once again.
If he wanted to acquire new talents, he would need to spend ten billion energy — that is, ten thousand origin energy points — to expand.
“Of the Five Elements divine physiques… I’ve now collected Yellow Earth, Blazing Flame, and Yimu — three divine physiques… the Water Spirit Divine Physique still hasn’t been extracted!”
“Unfortunately, I still haven’t drawn a metal-element divine physique.”
As Su Xing pondered this, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
In just a few breaths, Su Xing’s cultivation surged from mid-stage Celestial Immortal all the way to late-stage Celestial Immortal!
It finally settled at the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm!
He was only two layers away from Celestial Immortal Perfection!
Feeling the magical power within his body, which had once again doubled in density, Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
“Not bad… with my current strength, I should be able to defeat mid-stage True Immortal cultivators, approaching late-stage True Immortal level!”
“I just wonder — with my current strength, what position could I achieve on the Prodigy List’s Human List?”
Su Xing rubbed his chin. Even among the top ten of the Human List, the gaps in strength were enormous!
Although every single one of them was a one-in-a-trillion existence among cultivators across the Three Thousand Worlds, there were still differences even among geniuses!
Those who could rank in the top three were prodigies among prodigies.
As for those who had once held the number one spot on the Prodigy List, they had at least a thirty percent chance of becoming a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal or even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
This… was what truly demonstrated the value of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion’s rankings…
After Su Xing finished digesting his cultivation advancement, he disguised his appearance, concealed his aura, and went to trade with Lu Yuanwu.
This week, Su Xing helped eleven Martial Sovereigns purge the side effects of the Rebirth Pill.
In another month, these powerhouses would formally prepare to break through to the Legendary realm!
After a round of trading, Su Xing pocketed another twenty thousand origin energy points.
Over the following week, Su Xing continued crafting Talismans in preparation for eventually leaving Earth.
On December 30th of the year 2025 in the New Era, Su Xing met with Jin Congxue at the Villa.
What somewhat surprised Su Xing was that in just one short week, Jin Congxue had actually become a seventh-layer Qi Refinement cultivator, stepping into late-stage Qi Refinement!
This cultivation speed left even Su Xing somewhat astonished.
“Tsk tsk… it seems Xue-jie’s natural talent is quite formidable! Or perhaps her temperament is suited for cultivation? Those blessed with karmic fortune… truly cultivate with twice the results for half the effort!”
After concluding his trade with Jin Congxue, Su Xing obtained over thirty thousand more origin energy points.
After giving Jin Congxue some extra spirit liquid, Su Xing returned to the spirit field grotto-heaven.
Taking advantage of the remaining cooldown before the next simulation, Su Xing contemplated the goals for this upcoming simulation.
“In this simulation, reaching Celestial Immortal Perfection shouldn’t be difficult… and I need to advance the Great Dao of Earth to the Initial Glimpse realm as quickly as possible!”
“I should also bring the water origin to Perfection… and ideally reach the Dao Embryonic Form realm!”
Su Xing first laid out his cultivation goals.
Then…
“It’s also time to try using my influence to push for change regarding Qingyunzi!”
“Ideally, I’ll relay this information directly to the major powers and get them to help Qingyunzi!”
With this thought, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #120 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 505,467 points… remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 origin energy point. Do you wish to draw?】
This time, Su Xing once again chose not to draw a gold talent, instead extracting the Water Spirit Divine Physique he already had.
With this, Su Xing had collected four of the five Five Elements divine physiques.
【Ding! Congratulations, you have drawn the gold talent Water Spirit Divine Physique. Simulation begins!】
As the notification faded, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation text.
【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you become aware that you are in a simulation.】
【Ten days later, you make a trip to the Luotian Instance…】
【Over the next half year, you handle your affairs on Earth.】
【Year two: you kill Old Dog Dragon, destroy the Advent Cult’s Earth branch, and arrive at the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【You take the alias Su Ye and, posing as a Celestial Immortal realm wandering cultivator, join the White Emperor Tower as an Elder.】
【Afterward, you rally the wandering cultivators of White Emperor City and launch a campaign to exterminate the Advent Cult’s branches!】
【For tens of thousands of years, the Advent Cult’s branches have tormented the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm like a festering parasite.】
【But the cultivators of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm have suffered from not knowing the locations of the Advent Cult’s branches…】
【You lead over a thousand wandering cultivators, all elites, and over the course of one year, sweep through ten Advent Cult branches!】
【In an instant, the reputation of your alias Su Ye spreads across half the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm!】
【Many cultivators of the Azure Cloud Realm come to know that a great Celestial Immortal cultivator, burning with righteous fury, has led fellow cultivators to destroy over ten Advent Cult branches — a deed that brings great satisfaction to all!】
