Chapter 323 – Gold Talent, Greater Metal Divine Physique! Endless Dao-Enlightenment Tea!
by spirapiraSu Xing closed his eyes and began his deductions.
The Rain-class number one assassin of Storm Rain Tower, a peak True Immortal realm cultivator…
His assassination techniques were first-rate — he had even successfully assassinated a cultivator at the early Mystic Immortal realm!
On the surface, Su Xing seemed to have no power to resist such a formidable enemy…
But assassins all shared a common weakness: their first wave of assassination was extremely powerful, yet their ability to fight head-on was merely average.
“To hire this Rain-class number one assassin… the price the Advent Cult paid must have been astronomical!”
“If the Advent Cult wanted to hire a Wind-class assassin to kill me… that wouldn’t be so easy!”
“Therefore, as long as I survive this round of assassination, it should buy me plenty of time!”
At this thought, a glint of fighting spirit flashed through Su Xing’s eyes.
“A peak True Immortal realm assassin… I’m not entirely powerless against one!”
“Perhaps I need to further elevate my cultivation… and also strengthen my Five Elements Dao and supernatural arts!”
Su Xing rubbed his chin. If he couldn’t win in a direct confrontation, then his only option was a war of attrition…
Stalling an enemy comparable to the Mystic Immortal realm was far easier than stalling a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
With this in mind, Su Xing nodded and said:
“So for the next simulation, I still need to take the route of helping Qingyunzi!”
“Setting everything else aside… those three Dao-Enlightenment Tea leaves alone are priceless treasures to me!”
Su Xing had already made his decision. His gaze turned to the rewards from this simulation.
【Water Spirit Divine Physique】: Gold talent, priced at 10 origin energy.
【Celestial Immortal Realm, Perfection】: Celestial Immortal realm at Perfection, granting a lifespan of 40,000 years, with mana as vast and mighty as a celestial being’s… One need only achieve Initial Glimpse in the Great Dao corresponding to one’s spiritual root and survive the Wind Tribulation to break through into the True Immortal realm! Priced at 300,000 origin energy!
【Great Dao of Space Comprehension】: Upon redemption, provides a small boost to Great Dao of Space comprehension. Priced at 40,000 origin energy.
【Yellow Sand Sculpture】: A Dao essence treasure containing comprehension of the Great Dao of Earth, with most of its insight already consumed. Priced at 300,000 origin energy.
【Black Water Banner】: A Dao essence treasure containing comprehension of the Water Dao, with most of its insight already consumed. Priced at 200,000 origin energy.
【Refined Gold Stones x100】: Peculiar ore imbued with the Great Dao of Metal, extremely precious. Priced at 200,000 origin energy.
【Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves x3 (Intact), x3 (Used)】: Tea leaves produced by the innate precious Dao-Enlightenment Tree. Possess the effects of enhancing wisdom and triggering enlightenment. When brewed and consumed as tea, one can easily enter a state of heightened comprehension, with the effect remaining undiminished across multiple uses. Even steeped tea leaves retain a certain degree of efficacy and serve as an important ingredient for refining certain enlightenment-type pills. Priced at 660,000 origin energy.
【Jade Teacup (Supreme Immortal Treasure)】: The teacup Qingyunzi used for many years, imbued with a trace of Dao essence. Priced at 100,000 origin energy.
Su Xing stared at the simulation rewards before him, torn with indecision.
In this simulation, Su Xing had taken enormous risks, and the rewards he reaped were undoubtedly immense!
Beyond the rewards listed above, Su Xing’s fifty years of immersive simulation had cost him less than 20,000 origin energy while yielding a massive amount of comprehension!
All four Great Daos — Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth — had crossed into the Initial Glimpse realm. That was the greatest harvest of all!
“Celestial Immortal Realm, Perfection cultivation… should I choose it or not?”
Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly. There was one reward he absolutely had to select from this simulation — the Dao-Enlightenment Tea!
Three intact and three used Dao-Enlightenment Tea leaves, valued at 660,000 origin energy. Though the price was steep, the advantage was that each time, they could grant Su Xing hundreds of additional years of epiphany. That was simply too important!
“Tsk tsk… these already-used Dao-Enlightenment Tea leaves can still be used in pill refinement? That’s just too good to be true!”
Su Xing smacked his lips, thinking that when he had time in the future, he’d give it a try and see if he could refine higher-grade enlightenment pills.
“If I take the route of helping Qingyunzi in every simulation, I can obtain one cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea and three Dao-Enlightenment Tea leaves each time. Adding the ones I’m extracting now, that would be nine tea leaves in total!”
Su Xing did some quick calculations.
One cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea required three tea leaves to brew.
The first steeping was consumed in three sips, lasting nine years total. The second steeping lasted six years. The third steeping lasted three years.
Eighteen years in total!
Three cups of Dao-Enlightenment Tea meant fifty-four years!
That was equivalent to five hundred and forty years of contemplation!
And if enhanced by the Late Bloomer state, that became one thousand and eighty years!
“It’s just a shame… the Wisdom in Foolishness state can’t be accumulated for fifty years. Twenty years is the absolute maximum…”
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
But even so, a single simulation would grant Su Xing the equivalent of two to three thousand years of Dao comprehension!
With that, Su Xing’s understanding of the Great Dao and supernatural arts would improve dramatically!
“So the Dao-Enlightenment Tea is a must-pick!”
“As for cultivation level and talents…”
Su Xing felt conflicted. He wanted the Water Spirit Divine Physique talent as well.
If he waited until next time, he’d probably waste another talent draw opportunity.
“Alright, decided! I’ll bring out the cultivation level next time…”
Su Xing gave a slight nod.
But he didn’t immediately select his rewards. The critical reason was that he didn’t have enough origin energy…
Currently, he had just over 480,000 origin energy — not enough to redeem the Dao-Enlightenment Tea leaves.
“Phew… by my calculations, my puppet organizations out in the real world have been trading for two months now. They should have accumulated quite a bit of origin energy!”
Su Xing murmured to himself, preparing to head out to the Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains to collect the goods his puppets had traded for.
But before that, Su Xing needed to trade with Lu Yuanwu first.
So Su Xing applied his disguise and concealed his aura, then quickly completed his trade with Lu Yuanwu — another 20,000 origin energy in hand.
Over the next week, Su Xing spent six days refining a batch of Talismans.
On the final day, he traveled across the Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains, collecting all the goods his puppets had traded for throughout every kingdom and domain.
…
Time quickly arrived at January 6th, 2026 of the New Era.
That morning, Su Xing took out several storage rings, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
“I wonder… how much profit has the entire puppet organization brought me over two months?”
With that thought, Su Xing retrieved the storage rings and sent his divine sense probing inside.
Within the dozen-plus storage rings, mountains upon mountains of various items and materials were piled high.
Exotic metals ranging from first to fourth order… equipment of white through purple quality!
Abyss Stones, as well as various instance dungeon items — everything was there!
Su Xing’s heart stirred. He chose to absorb these items, converting them into energy…
【Ding! Detected large quantities of energy-containing materials, total value 346,000 origin energy… Absorb?】
【Ding! Detected… total value 270,000… Absorb?】
【Ding! Detected… total value 180,000… Absorb?】
【Ding! Detected…】
Excitement flashed through Su Xing’s eyes as he murmured:
“In just two months… the puppet organization managed to trade for nearly 900,000 origin energy?”
A look of satisfaction spread across Su Xing’s face. Combined with his previous 500,000 origin energy, he had just reached the threshold of 1.4 million.
With origin energy in abundance, Su Xing declared without hesitation:
“I choose to bring out the Water Spirit Divine Physique talent… and the Dao-Enlightenment Tea!”
【Ding! Detected that your talent slots are full. Expand for 10,000 origin energy?】
“Yes!”
【You have successfully spent 10,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 1,393,216 points…】
【Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Water Spirit Divine Physique talent… Energy cost: 10 points. Remaining origin energy: 1,393,206 points!】
【Congratulations on successfully bringing out the Dao-Enlightenment Tea… Energy cost: 660,000 points. Remaining origin energy: 733,206 points!】
As several notification chimes faded, a stream of mysterious energy flowed into Su Xing’s body.
Su Xing could feel his aptitude strengthening further, and his sensitivity to water spiritual roots in the surrounding air had increased dramatically.
In addition, an ancient-looking jade box appeared before him.
Su Xing opened it and, sure enough, six thumb-sized green leaves lay scattered inside.
Three of them were plump and brimming with vitality… while the other three were shriveled and wrinkled.
“So these… are the Dao-Enlightenment Tea leaves!”
Su Xing stared at them intently. These six little leaves had cost him over 660,000 origin energy!
“Tsk tsk… these are real treasures! Better not damage them…”
Su Xing carefully closed the jade box. If these six tea leaves were damaged, he’d probably be too depressed to eat for months.
After finishing all this, Su Xing glanced at the time. Feeling he had plenty to spare, he headed to the Villa district to meet with Jin Congxue.
Upon arriving at the Villa district and catching sight of Jin Congxue, Su Xing froze, his face full of disbelief:
“Sis Xue, you’ve advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage?”
Jin Congxue nodded at Su Xing’s words and replied:
“That’s right… I’ve been using my sleeping time every night for meditation and cultivation, and I found that my cultivation speed was incredibly fast!”
“Last night, I felt spiritual energy coursing through my meridians, and it just slipped right into my dantian. Before I knew it, I’d achieved Foundation Establishment…”
Hearing Jin Congxue’s words, Su Xing’s expression darkened slightly, and an inexplicable twinge of jealousy rose in his heart.
Damn it, back when this young master broke through to Foundation Establishment, how much suffering did he endure!
Yet now, looking at this… it was practically an unfair advantage from a higher dimension!
Su Xing pouted.
A mere half month — drawing qi into the body and stepping into the Foundation Establishment stage!
That speed was practically on par with the prodigies of the Greater World!
Of course, Su Xing understood that this was because Jin Congxue had sufficient high-grade spirit liquid for cultivation, without even needing to use spirit stones.
A single drop of high-grade spirit liquid was enough for her to absorb over an entire month.
Add to that the Heavenly Spirit Root, micro spirit-gathering formation, and top-tier cultivation technique Su Xing had given her… and such cultivation speed was the natural result.
“Still, Sis Xue’s constitution really does seem perfectly suited for immortal cultivation!”
Su Xing nodded slightly and said to Jin Congxue:
“Sis Xue, during the early stages of cultivation, I won’t give you any pills… Once you’ve entered the Golden Core stage, I’ll refine some pills to help with your cultivation!”
Jin Congxue gave a slight nod at Su Xing’s words.
Next, Su Xing and Jin Congxue went through their trading routine, netting him another 30,000-plus origin energy.
Nowadays, after each trade, Su Xing would give Jin Congxue a “massage.”
By channeling gentle wood-attribute immortal qi into Jin Congxue’s body, he could naturally and easily help her advance.
…
Inside the spirit field grotto-heaven, Su Xing prepared to begin a new round of simulation.
“This simulation, I can finally draw a new talent… but bringing a talent out costs 100,000 origin energy for expansion. That’s still too expensive!”
“I also need to reach Celestial Immortal realm Great Perfection as soon as possible. The Luotian Instance inheritance can’t be delayed any longer!”
After mentally mapping out everything he needed to accomplish in this simulation, Su Xing silently intoned:
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #121 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 771,206 points… Remaining simulation attempts: Unlimited.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 origin energy. Proceed with draw?】
Su Xing didn’t hesitate, nodding:
“Yes!”
【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the gold talent Greater Metal Divine Physique… Probability of drawing a gold talent next time: 60%!】
“Holy shit! I got a gold one!”
“Wait, I mean… I got a Metal-type divine physique!”
Su Xing’s eyes went wide, wearing an expression of utter disbelief.
This Greater Metal Divine Physique was absolutely the talent he needed most right now!
“Who would’ve thought — after so many unlucky draws, this young master finally hit the jackpot!”
The excitement on Su Xing’s face was impossible to contain.
As things stood, this simulation would allow Su Xing to smoothly comprehend the Great Dao of Metal!
“Excellent… the Greater Metal Divine Physique arrived at just the right time!”
Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.
【Inside the spirit field grotto-heaven, you realize that you are in a simulation.】
【Ten days later, you entered the Luotian Instance and reaped considerable rewards.】
【Over the following period, in addition to daily cultivation, you focused on accumulating the Great Wisdom state. This made you appear rather foolish in everyday life…】
【Several months later, you eradicated the Advent Cult on Earth and killed Old Dog Dragon.】
【You made a trip to the Flame-Commanding Sect ruins. The Vermilion Bird tail feather merged into your body, fusing with the Separation Fire Technique…】
【Afterward, you repaired a Tribulation Crossing stage puppet and left behind several Talismans and immortal treasures, allowing Earth to hold on for a while longer.】
【After completing all of this, you brought your family and friends through the otherworld and traveled to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm!】
【Upon arriving at the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, you first visited White Emperor City and sold intelligence on the Advent Cult and the foreign races.】
【In the second year, the White Emperor Tower rallied independent cultivators to annihilate the Advent Cult’s various branch divisions.】
【You joined them with your Celestial Immortal realm cultivation. In just one short year, you carved out a formidable reputation throughout the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【And because of this, you were placed on the Advent Cult’s assassination list.】
【In the fifth year, a peak Celestial Immortal realm assassin from Storm Rain Tower launched an assassination attempt against you. You successfully counter-killed him and ascended onto the Prodigy List.】
【Afterward, you remained in White Emperor City and continued cultivating.】
【In the tenth year, the second wave from Storm Rain Tower struck. A True Immortal realm cultivator attacked, and you successfully counter-killed him, breaking into the Prodigy List’s top ten!】
【In the twentieth year, the third wave from Storm Rain Tower struck. A mid-stage True Immortal realm assassin launched an attack on you. You successfully counter-killed him and rose to fourth place on the Prodigy List!】
【At this point, your reputation had resounded throughout the entire Lesser Azure Cloud Realm in merely twenty years. You became known even to other factions in the Azure Origin Domain, and countless powers extended olive branches to you.】
【But you didn’t care about any of this. Instead, you chose to travel to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion…】
In the Real World, Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this.
The trajectory of this simulation’s early stages—everything that needed to be done—Su Xing had already laid all the groundwork.
Next came the formal negotiation with the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, and the meeting with Qingyunzi.
“I just need to follow the same procedure as the last simulation… and I’ll be able to obtain the Dao-Enlightenment Tea again!”
“But in this simulation, I need to be wary of Storm Rain Tower’s assassins… though there are plenty of solutions!”
“Before the Rain-class number one assassin comes, I can seek the Azure Cloud Sect’s protection… or head to the Celestial Demon City frontlines. That assassin shouldn’t dare act recklessly in either place!”
Su Xing did a quick calculation. Fully absorbing three cups of Dao-Enlightenment Tea would require fifty-four years.
“Then at the seventy-seventh year, I’ll immediately begin comprehension…”
Su Xing thought this to himself, his gaze turning to the simulation panel.
【After arriving at the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, you did not conceal your true identity. You informed the young woman of what had happened to Qingyunzi.】
【After you presented the Azure Cloud Token, the young woman believed your words and told you to quietly await her message.】
【And so, ten years passed.】
【In the thirtieth year, your cultivation reached the late phase of the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【That same year, at the young woman’s notification, you traveled to the Lesser Azure Cloud Sect.】
【You met Fairy Ziling, along with two Golden Immortals from the Celestial Secrets Pavilion and White Emperor City respectively…】
【Under Fairy Ziling’s guidance, you all traveled to the Azure Cloud Realm.】
【At the base of Three Immortals Peak, you received Qingyunzi’s invitation and ascended the peak.】
【Entering the thatched cottage, you saw the weary Qingyunzi. He brewed you a cup of tea.】
【You accepted the Dao-Enlightenment Tea but didn’t rush to drink it. Instead, you conversed with Qingyunzi, chatting about his experiences.】
【You gifted the Ruyi Visualization Diagram to Qingyunzi. His heart was filled with endless emotion, and he was deeply grateful to you.】
【You seized the opportunity to request three Dao-Enlightenment Tea leaves…】
【You tried to obtain more Dao-Enlightenment Tea, but Qingyunzi waved his sleeve and sent you down from Three Immortals Peak…】
In the Real World, Su Xing rolled his eyes at this.
“As expected, that Qingyunzi is stingy as ever! Looks like the most I can squeeze out is two cups of Dao-Enlightenment Tea…”
Su Xing muttered, though he wasn’t really asking for too much.
“Well then, from here I can cultivate in peace!”
“After eighty years, I’ll begin comprehending the Great Dao of Metal…”
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
【Returning to the base of Three Immortals Peak, you informed the others of Qingyunzi’s situation, then boarded the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel and departed the Azure Cloud Realm.】
【From there, you traveled in disguise with your breath concealed, crossing over a hundred void nodes, passing through dozens of small worlds, and arrived at the Tianyuan Realm.】
【And so, ten years passed.】
【In the fortieth year, you finally arrived at the Tianyuan Realm.】
【You rented a cave dwelling in the Tianyuan Realm and focused on cultivation.】
【In the sixtieth year, your cultivation reached the peak of the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【You spent five years focused on breaking through…】
【In the sixty-fifth year, your cultivation successfully reached the ninth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm.】
【After reaching the ninth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm, you prepared to set off for the Golden Wheel Realm!】
【After three years of void travel, in the sixty-eighth year, you successfully arrived at the Golden Wheel Realm…】
【Over the next ten years, you gathered Golden Essence Stones and found a suitable location to comprehend the Great Dao of Metal!】
In the Real World, Su Xing nodded slightly at this and murmured:
“The timing is exactly the seventy-eighth year… So accounting for the time spent searching for Golden Essence Stones, sixty-two years of immersive simulation—will that be enough?”
Golden Essence Stones were different from the innate Fusang tree branch, the Black Water Banner, and similar treasures. They were not supreme post-celestial treasures, and the Dao essence they contained was limited.
Su Xing would need to spend more time on comprehension and more effort on collection, so it was inevitable that it would take longer.
“Still, having the right treasures to enhance Great Dao comprehension is always a good thing!”
Su Xing silently chanted:
“Activate immersive simulation… duration: sixty-two years…”
【Ding. You have successfully activated immersive simulation. Expended 22,630 origin energy points. Remaining origin energy: 748,576 points…】
As the simulation notification faded, Su Xing’s vision shifted, and he appeared in the simulated world.
…
Golden Wheel Realm. Deep within a mountain range brimming with extraordinarily dense metal-attribute spiritual energy. This place was far from any cultivator city, and the surrounding area was home to many terrifying demon beasts.
Among them were no shortage of Human Immortal and Earthly Immortal realm demon cultivators.
Su Xing had carved out a cave dwelling here, then settled in to cultivate in peace.
From his storage ring, he produced a steaming cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea—the very cup Qingyunzi had given him over fifty years ago.
Su Xing took a small sip, roughly a third, then nodded in satisfaction and praised:
“As expected of tea personally brewed by a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Even after more than fifty years, it’s still just as sweet!”
Su Xing quipped, then felt the Dao-Enlightenment Tea’s effects taking hold and formally began his comprehension.
With the Great Wisdom state activated and stacked with the Wisdom in Foolishness talent and the Dao-Enlightenment Tea’s multiple buffs, Su Xing’s Dao comprehension was divinely aided!
Taking out the Golden Essence Stones he had prepared in advance, Su Xing sat cross-legged and began comprehending the Dao!
And so, in merely one month, Su Xing gained entry into the Metal origin!
In one year, Su Xing’s Metal origin reached Minor Mastery!
Three years passed. The first sip of Dao-Enlightenment Tea’s enhancement ended, and Su Xing’s Metal origin had already reached Major Mastery!
Without hesitation, Su Xing took the second sip of Dao-Enlightenment Tea!
By the fourth year, Su Xing’s Metal origin reached Perfection!
By the sixth year, after the second sip of Dao-Enlightenment Tea’s effects had faded…
Su Xing’s comprehension of the Great Dao of Metal had thoroughly broken into the Dao Embryonic Form realm!
After six years of Dao comprehension, Su Xing slowly rose to his feet, feeling as though time had flown by like a shuttle during his cultivation.
“It’s just a shame… I can’t continue comprehending the Great Dao of Metal for now!”
Su Xing sighed. It wasn’t for any other reason—the Golden Essence Stones he had collected this time were completely used up!
“Tch, the effect of Golden Essence Stones is far inferior to Dao essence treasures… but something is better than nothing!”
“Next, I need to head to a cultivator city and purchase some more Golden Essence Stones…”
Su Xing rubbed his chin, information about the Golden Wheel Realm surfacing in his mind.
As a Medium Chiliocosm, immortal merchant trade was extremely developed in this realm. The fundamental reason was the effects that Golden Essence Stones provided!
Large quantities of Golden Essence Stones were sold in this realm. Some cultivators spent year after year mining, all for the sake of earning hefty profits.
“Time to head to the city… and buy a batch of Golden Essence Stones!”
Su Xing thought to himself, then departed the cave dwelling where he had been in seclusion for six years.
Arriving at the bustling city, Su Xing found several local merchant houses and purchased Golden Essence Stones from each.
The purchasing process went smoothly.
Su Xing visited five merchant houses in total. After displaying Earthly Immortal realm strength, he paid ten million high-grade spirit stones and purchased a total of five hundred Golden Essence Stones.
However, these five hundred Golden Essence Stones would take some time—approximately five years—before they could be delivered to Su Xing.
So Su Xing simply returned to his cave dwelling and began studying the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method!
“The Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method… involves the Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny, inherited from the ancient Star Shaman clan. I want to see just what mysteries it holds!”
Su Xing took a sip of Dao-Enlightenment Tea and began his arduous study and comprehension.
And so, three years flew by in a snap.
The first cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea was completely finished. Su Xing exited his comprehension state and furrowed his brow slightly.
“This Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method is actually this difficult?”
“One cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea and three years of bitter cultivation! That’s equivalent to nearly two hundred years of comprehension, and I still haven’t even reached the entry level!?”
Su Xing’s brows locked tightly, but he went ahead and began brewing the second cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea.
And so, another two years passed.
The Dao-Enlightenment Tea’s effects faded, and Su Xing emerged from his comprehension state.
Sensing the memories in his mind, Su Xing shook his head slightly and sighed:
“The Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method… I’ve managed to grasp some surface understanding, but there’s still some distance before I can truly enter its gates…”
Su Xing pondered for a while and decided to temporarily set aside the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method and focus on comprehending the Great Dao of Metal instead!
So Su Xing made a trip to the cultivator city, retrieved the five hundred Golden Essence Stones, and resumed his comprehension.
In the blink of an eye, another seven years passed…
Over these seven years, Su Xing had completely absorbed the effects of the first cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea.
And Su Xing’s comprehension of the Great Dao of Metal was now only a single step away from the Dao Embryonic Form…
“Looks like it’s time to brew the second cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea!”
Su Xing took out three tea leaves, carefully placed them into the jade cup, then brought out the Spring Dew Purified Water, boiled it, and began the first steep.
For Dao-Enlightenment Tea, the first steep’s effects were the strongest.
After Su Xing drank the first sip, he continued comprehending the Great Dao of Metal!
And so, three years passed in the snap of a finger…
While Su Xing was deep in comprehension, the spiritual energy around him occasionally flashed with the sound of golden weapons clashing.
Profound Dao essence was rapidly absorbed by Su Xing, and even the cave dwelling around him began undergoing a strange transformation!
Without exaggeration, if the cave dwelling where Su Xing had been in seclusion were discovered by cultivators years later, it would absolutely become a treasured cultivation ground for those with metal spiritual roots!
…
Finally, one day, Su Xing awakened from his comprehension. A flash of golden light passed through his eyes.
It was as though boundless Dao essence swirled around Su Xing, lingering for a long time without dispersing!
The Great Dao of Metal—Initial Glimpse!
Joy spread across Su Xing’s face.
With this, the Five Elements Dao of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—along with the Great Dao of Thunder—Su Xing had achieved Initial Glimpse in all of them!
Su Xing calculated the time and exclaimed:
“At this point, it should be the twenty-sixth year of my immersive simulation. The Great Dao of Metal—from knowing absolutely nothing to achieving Initial Glimpse of the Great Dao!”
“If word of this speed got out, cultivators across the entire Three Thousand Worlds would be shocked!”
At this thought, the corner of Su Xing’s mouth curved upward.
This kind of non-stop Dao-Enlightenment Tea consumption—forget about those Holy Sons and prodigies of the immortal sects—even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal wouldn’t be willing to drink it like this!
Grand Luo Golden Immortals, supreme powerhouses like Qingyunzi, might have some Dao-Enlightenment Tea on hand.
But they would only drink it when they occasionally had a flash of inspiration and were on the verge of a breakthrough, using it to complement and enhance the effect!
But Su Xing? He practically drank Dao-Enlightenment Tea like water!
Each simulation consumed nine Dao-Enlightenment Tea leaves!
At this rate, Su Xing’s speed of comprehending the Great Dao and supernatural arts would exceed anything an immortal could imagine!
“With all Five Elements at Initial Glimpse… I’m not far from the True Immortal realm!”
“All that’s left is the final wind tribulation, and I can achieve True Immortal!”
Su Xing thought it over.
“However, this immersive simulation still has plenty of time remaining, and I certainly can’t waste it!”
With that thought, Su Xing turned his attention to the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method he had collected, and said through gritted teeth:
“Hmph! A mere Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method—I want to see just how hard it really is!”
Su Xing looked at his remaining Dao-Enlightenment Tea leaves, his heart brimming with confidence!
“Today, I, Su Xing, am making a bold declaration—if I can’t even reach the entry level… I might as well go bash my head against a block of frozen tofu and be done with it!”
