Chapter 326 – Preparations to Leave Earth, Red Moon’s Blockade of Earth! [10,000 Words]
by spirapiraInformation about the Wind-Calming Pearl surfaced in Su Xing’s mind.
The Wind-Calming Pearl was a special half-step supreme post-celestial treasure of the energy-charging variety.
It needed to be stored in a place abundant with the Great Dao of Wind, continuously absorbing the surrounding Dao essence to serve as energy storage.
Once fully charged, the Wind-Calming Pearl could unleash its full effect—protecting a cultivator!
Even amidst the terrifying Wind Calamity, it could protect a cultivator’s soul from destruction, preventing them from perishing due to a failed tribulation.
“Quite a few peak Celestial Immortal realm cultivators, before facing the Wind Calamity… would go bankrupt just to get their hands on a single Wind-Calming Pearl!”
“This is what keeps the Wind-Calming Pearl’s price perpetually sky-high… Though it’s merely a half-step post-celestial spirit treasure, its price is even more expensive than some supreme post-celestial treasures!”
Su Xing blinked. A mere Wind-Calming Pearl was nothing special to him.
“The real difficulty is merging the Five Elements Dao into one before the True Immortal realm! And then crossing the Wind Calamity in one fell swoop!”
Su Xing had been involved with the Dao of the Five Elements for a long time.
The cultivation technique left behind by the Five Elements Master—the Five Elements Cycle Art—was an extraordinarily remarkable Five Elements method.
Even with Su Xing’s current cultivation, he could still gain some inspiration from this technique.
Su Xing snapped out of his future plans, then immediately took on a troubled expression.
Looking at the tens of thousands of points of origin energy on the simulation panel, Su Xing sighed:
“Poor! At the end of the day, I’m just poor!”
Su Xing estimated that extracting True Immortal realm cultivation would require at least 300,000 origin energy as a starting point!
And that was a conservative estimate!
With Su Xing’s current origin energy, the gap to 300,000 was still quite significant…
“Based on my current income, within Great Xia’s borders, I can earn at most just over 50,000—close to 60,000 origin energy per week.”
“Adding the origin energy from the other six nations and the Twelve Domains… that’s roughly over 90,000 origin energy per week.”
“Overall, if I don’t resort to other methods, the entire Earth brings in… a mere 150,000 origin energy per week.”
150,000 origin energy was obviously not a small number!
But for Su Xing, who was on the verge of the True Immortal realm, it was still far too little…
Su Xing estimated that after reaching the True Immortal realm, even if each simulation only broke through two minor realms, it would require at least 600,000 origin energy!
And that didn’t even account for the points Su Xing needed for immersive simulations, redeeming talents… or exchanging for various treasures and supernatural arts.
“Earth, at its current power level, can’t even qualify as a lesser chiliocosm… An ordinary small world, even if it pooled all its resources and manpower, probably couldn’t accumulate a million origin energy in a year.”
“Yet Earth’s current ceiling far exceeds that… Naturally, it’s because Earth was once part of the Luotian Realm, once part of a Greater World… That’s why it possesses so many resources!”
After a pause, Su Xing continued thinking:
“Still, 150,000 origin energy per week isn’t enough!”
“With my current strength… I need to conduct trades with all six nations’ governments as soon as possible. That would definitely bring in more resources!”
“But distant water can’t quench present thirst… The immediate concern is figuring out how to gather enough energy for the True Immortal realm breakthrough!”
Su Xing racked his brains, and finally sighed:
“The only option right now is to push Lu Yuanwu a bit harder… See if I can get more Exotic Metal Ore from him!”
Su Xing still held quite a few trump cards—ones that even Xia’s military would likely be interested in.
As long as Su Xing offered up a portion, he could easily acquire large quantities of exotic metal and other resources.
With this in mind, Su Xing began disguising himself and concealing his aura, preparing to trade with Lu Yuanwu.
…
Moments later, Su Xing appeared at the agreed meeting point. Lu Yuanwu had already been waiting for a long time.
“Senior! Here are this week’s Exotic Metal Ores!”
Lu Yuanwu handed over a storage ring with a respectful attitude. After a brief pause, he made a sincere request:
“Senior, in another half month… the other ten Martial Sovereigns and I will be preparing to advance to Legendary-stage…”
“When the time comes… could I trouble you to serve as our Protector?”
Lu Yuanwu’s tone was somewhat humble.
Su Xing waved his hand dismissively after hearing this and said:
“Between you and me, there’s no need for such courtesy… Helping you advance to Legendary was always part of our trade agreement, wasn’t it?”
After Su Xing finished speaking, Lu Yuanwu let out a long sigh of relief.
Though their strength was sufficient, without Su Xing’s guarantee, these Martial Sovereigns truly wouldn’t dare to break through to Legendary…
Su Xing converted the exotic metal from the storage ring, adding another 20,000 origin energy.
But this amount of origin energy was already insufficient!
So Su Xing got straight to the point and said to Lu Yuanwu:
“After I help you all break through to Legendary-stage, I have some urgent matters to attend to… Trading may need to be temporarily suspended.”
Upon hearing Su Xing’s words, Lu Yuanwu hastily asked:
“Senior, where are you going? How long will it take?”
Lu Yuanwu spoke bluntly, and only after the words left his mouth did he realize it was somewhat inappropriate. He quickly added:
“Is it… convenient for you to say?”
Su Xing’s expression softened slightly as he thought for a moment and said:
“I can’t reveal what I’m going to do… But it could take as little as three months, or as long as half a year!”
“Since trading will be suspended during this period… I wanted to ask if we could complete our transactions all at once in advance?”
With that, Su Xing produced a storage ring containing two thousand bottles of Primordial Martial Pills.
Each bottle contained ten pills, meaning 20,000 Primordial Martial Pills total—enough to cover two months of trading.
In addition, Su Xing took out another storage ring filled with a large quantity of Fifth Rank talismans!
Fifty sixth-rank Gold Light Talismans, fifty sixth-rank Gold Blade Talismans, and fifty sixth-rank Speed Talismans.
Sixth-rank talismans, when applied to Martial Sovereign-stage Class Users, could allow them to momentarily unleash power comparable to Legendary-stage!
Su Xing said to Lu Yuanwu:
“These two storage rings contain 20,000 Primordial Martial Pills… and a type of peculiar tool called talismans.”
“Can you produce items of sufficient value to trade for them?”
After speaking, Su Xing went on to explain the uses of the three types of talismans.
After listening, a sharp glint flashed through Lu Yuanwu’s eyes as he said excitedly:
“Senior… I’ve heard that recently, a mysterious organization has been appearing across Earth… trading with major private merchant guilds. Is that connected to you?”
Lu Yuanwu’s voice was already trembling, unable to conceal his excitement.
In recent days, Xia’s military had also received intelligence about this mysterious organization producing various talismans and high-tier equipment, whose effects were so impressive that Xia’s military was stunned!
Subsequently, they discovered that some of the pills matched those that the “mysterious senior” had provided.
Now, at last, they had confirmation!
Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this and said without concealing it:
“Yes, I’m also a member of that organization… You don’t need to inquire about the specifics. You only need to know that we will always stand on humanity’s side…”
Su Xing’s tone was laden with meaning, and Lu Yuanwu nodded repeatedly.
Then Lu Yuanwu looked eagerly at the two storage rings in Su Xing’s hands.
How could he not understand the importance of the items in those two storage rings?
The Primordial Martial Pills alone could produce over a thousand Class Users comparable to Heavenly King-stage within Great Xia over the next several years.
And the talismans could be used immediately with instant effect, directly easing the situation at Demon-Sealing Pass.
So Lu Yuanwu asked:
“Senior… What price are you asking for these talismans?”
Su Xing thought it over and said:
“One sixth-rank talisman for 100 tons of fourth-order exotic metal. How does that sound?”
“For these three hundred talismans, that’s 30,000 tons of fourth-order exotic metal in total!”
One ton of fourth-order exotic metal was worth roughly 20 origin energy… 30,000 tons of fourth-order exotic metal was worth 600,000 origin energy!
Su Xing felt this price was quite fair.
Upon hearing Su Xing’s offer, Lu Yuanwu didn’t hesitate and said decisively:
“Deal! We’ll go with Senior’s pricing!”
“However… 30,000 tons of fourth-order exotic metal is no small amount… Could Senior wait a while? I’ll have it ready for you within half a month at the latest!”
After hearing this, Su Xing mulled it over. It wasn’t unreasonable.
So he nodded and said:
“Fine. In half a month, can you have a total of 50,000 tons of fourth-order exotic metal ready?”
The 50,000 tons of fourth-order exotic metal Su Xing mentioned included the price for the 20,000 Primordial Martial Pills—20,000 tons of fourth-order exotic metal, worth 400,000 origin energy.
Lu Yuanwu didn’t hesitate and nodded in agreement.
…
After parting with Lu Yuanwu, Su Xing stared at the origin energy on his simulation panel, troubled.
A total of just over 60,000 origin energy—even with Jin Congxue’s contribution from the new week, it would barely reach 120,000.
Forget about extracting True Immortal realm cultivation; whether he could even extract other rewards was uncertain.
“It seems… I need to think of other methods…”
Su Xing pondered for a while and murmured:
“I should make a trip to the Endless Abyss… I should be able to quickly obtain Abyss Stones there, which are quite valuable…”
Su Xing had previously farmed the Abyss for six days, earning over 10,000 origin energy.
Now that Su Xing was even stronger, if he ventured into the Abyss, obtaining tens of thousands of origin energy in a short time wouldn’t be difficult.
With this thought, Su Xing immediately set out, riding his sword toward America.
An hour later, Su Xing arrived inside the Endless Abyss.
Along the way, Su Xing didn’t stop, heading straight for the twentieth floor of the Abyss!
Here, there were already quite a few Heavenly King-stage Abyss aliens.
Killing these aliens would drop Abyss Stones, worth anywhere from one to several origin energy each.
“Then I’ll start farming from the twentieth floor…”
Su Xing smacked his lips, and his divine sense instantly blanketed the entire twentieth floor of the Abyss.
In an instant, every movement of every living creature on the entire twentieth floor of the Abyss fell under Su Xing’s observation.
“Interesting… Besides the red-eyed aliens of the Abyss, there are actually a few American Class Users here too?”
Su Xing directly ignored these Heavenly King-stage rookies and began casting spells.
Su Xing formed hand seals, and fist-sized flames materialized one after another.
The Flame Kindling Art—a common low-tier spell among cultivators… Even some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could cast it, so its power was self-evident…
However, Su Xing’s current cultivation was nothing short of terrifying. Even the simplest of spells, empowered by Su Xing’s immortal power, possessed astonishing might!
Moreover, Su Xing’s comprehension of the Great Dao of Fire had reached the Initial Glimpse level, making his fire-type spells’ power not to be underestimated.
In an instant, hundreds of Flame Kindling Arts were unleashed, and within a single breath, every red-eyed alien on the Abyss’s twentieth floor was slaughtered!
Hundreds of Abyss Stones dropped. Su Xing’s figure shot forward like an arrow as he rapidly collected all the Abyss Stones.
This process took roughly a quarter of an hour.
After collecting all the Abyss Stones, Su Xing smacked his lips and said with a wry smile:
“Killing these monsters takes only a few seconds… But picking up the loot afterward takes a whole quarter of an hour!”
“It seems… I need to learn a telekinetic technique soon… Maybe I could retrieve these Abyss Stones more quickly?”
Su Xing muttered while rubbing his chin.
Then, with a thought, he converted all the Abyss Stones into origin energy.
【Ding, detected substance containing trace amounts of origin energy, value: 373 origin energy… Absorb?】
“Yes!”
Su Xing said decisively.
After converting to origin energy, Su Xing didn’t hesitate and headed straight for the twenty-first floor of the Abyss.
Over the next period, Su Xing spent less than four hours sweeping through floors twenty to thirty of the Abyss.
Total harvest: close to 5,000 origin energy!
…
At the entrance to the thirty-first floor of the Abyss, Su Xing gazed at the cave passage and murmured:
“Next up is the thirty-first floor… After floor thirty-one, the number of Martial Sovereign-stage Abyss aliens increases… but the overall alien population decreases. I wonder how much energy I can get?”
Su Xing’s figure flickered, and he appeared on the thirty-first floor of the Abyss.
It was still a sea of crimson here—crimson sky, crimson earth.
Su Xing’s divine sense once again enveloped the entire thirty-first floor of the Abyss.
Over a hundred red-eyed aliens roamed this level of the Abyss. The weakest among them were Heavenly King-stage, and quite a few Martial Sovereign-stage aliens lurked among them.
“Well then, let’s begin a new round of harvesting!”
Su Xing didn’t hesitate and immediately unleashed his Flame Kindling Art supernatural art.
In an instant, countless flames swept across the thirty-first floor of the Abyss.
Every red-eyed alien on the thirty-first floor was burned to death, leaving behind Abyss Stones.
【Ding, detected substance containing energy, value: 873 origin energy. Absorb?】
“Yes!”
Su Xing didn’t hesitate and chose to absorb immediately.
“The thirty-first floor’s aliens contain more origin energy!”
“Well then… Let’s keep going deeper!”
Over the next period, Su Xing spent six hours sweeping through floors thirty-one to forty of the Abyss.
Total harvest: approximately 10,000 origin energy.
…
One day later, Su Xing successfully finished sweeping the fiftieth floor of the Abyss.
Harvest: 15,000 origin energy!
Another day passed… The sixtieth floor of the Abyss yielded 20,000 origin energy!
…
In total, Su Xing spent four days, starting from the twentieth floor and sweeping all the way to the eightieth floor of the Abyss!
From the weakest Grandmaster-stage aliens to Emperor-level aliens—all perished at Su Xing’s hands!
Over four days, Su Xing harvested close to 100,000 origin energy!
At the entrance to the eighty-first floor of the Abyss, Su Xing stopped and didn’t rush in recklessly.
“Past the eighty-first floor… it’s probably the home turf of Saint-stage red-eyed aliens!”
“This Abyss… the deeper you go, the stronger the aliens? I wonder… what’s the highest level of alien that could appear?”
After thinking for a moment, Su Xing decided to stop here and go no further.
“Once I return from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm… and my strength has improved further, this place might make an excellent energy farming ground!”
With that, Su Xing left the Abyss…
On the sixth day, Su Xing visited the six nations and the Twelve Domains, contacting his puppet organizations. Over the week, he managed to collect less than 50,000 origin energy.
…
Time quickly arrived at January 13th, 2026, New Era. Su Xing went to meet with Jin Congxue.
This week, Jin Congxue’s cultivation had grown again, nearly reaching mid Foundation Establishment stage!
This cultivation speed—even Su Xing felt somewhat humbled seeing it!
After completing his trade with Jin Congxue, Su Xing had gained over 30,000 more origin energy.
Inside the spirit field grotto-heaven, Su Xing prepared to begin a new round of simulation.
Su Xing looked at the simulation energy on the panel—
A total of 298,453 origin energy!
“What a shame… Still a bit short of 300,000 origin energy. And the immersive simulation also consumes energy. Before breaking through to the True Immortal realm, perhaps I can still build up some more reserves…”
Thinking this, Su Xing began setting objectives for this simulation.
“First, survive the Wind Calamity and push cultivation as close to the True Immortal realm as possible! Whether there’s enough energy to extract will be determined by the situation!”
“Second, further comprehend the Five Elements Dao! Merging the Five Elements Dao into one needs to be put on the agenda!”
“Third, regarding the Great Dao of Space… reach the Minor Attainment level as soon as possible!”
“Finally, it’s time to attempt to break through space and travel to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm on my own…”
After setting his goals, Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #122 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 298,453… Remaining simulation attempts: None.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 origin energy. Draw?】
Su Xing didn’t hesitate:
“Yes!”
【Ding, congratulations! You have obtained the gold talent Astrology… Probability of drawing a gold talent next time: 60%!】
“Holy crap, another gold?!”
Su Xing raised an eyebrow. His gold drop rate had been absurdly high lately!
He had already drawn gold talents several times in a row…
“Could it be that my luck is finally turning around?”
Su Xing’s eyes held a hint of amusement as he looked at the talent’s description.
【Astrology】: Gold talent. Your comprehension of celestial phenomena is greatly enhanced. By observing the stars in the sky, you can deduce cause and effect and destiny… Your talent for the Dao of divination is massively improved!
“Hm? This talent…”
Su Xing raised an eyebrow. He had drawn a similar talent before—purple quality, similar to the Astrology talent.
“These two talents share something in common… both enhance comprehension of the Great Dao of Karma!”
“More importantly, this pairs perfectly with the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method!”
Su Xing was somewhat excited.
Previously, when he had cultivated the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method, even with the help of Dao-Enlightenment Tea, it had taken him decades just to barely get started.
With this Astrology talent, Su Xing’s aptitude in the Dao of cause and effect would be enormously enhanced!
“Not bad—this talent came at exactly the right time!”
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you became aware that you were in a simulation!】
【One week later, you successfully traded with Lu Yuanwu and acquired fifty thousand tons of fourth-order exotic metal…】
【You helped Lu Yuanwu and others break through to Legendary-stage… Over the course of one week, eleven Martial Sovereign powerhouses entered the legendary instance one after another.】
【Of those, seven successfully broke through to Legendary-stage, while the other four were lost forever inside the instance…】
【Lu Yuanwu was fortunate and successfully advanced to Legendary-stage!】
【You employed your techniques, observing the karmic threads on these people, temporarily shielding their connection to the Red Moon and enabling them to remain on Earth!】
【Another half month passed, and you prepared to enter the Luotian Instance to deepen your understanding of the True Immortal realm…】
In the real world, Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly upon seeing this.
“Eleven Martial Sovereigns… and seven successfully advanced?”
A breakthrough rate exceeding sixty percent—that probability was already considered excellent.
But Su Xing was not satisfied with this…
“Every single Martial Sovereign represents valuable high-level combat power for Great Xia and the human race. It would be best not to lose any of them…”
“Perhaps I could give them some guidance afterward, to help them break through successfully?”
Su Xing thought this to himself, then silently intoned:
“Activate immersive simulation. Duration… one day!”
【Ding…】
The simulation notification sounded, and Su Xing entered the Luotian Instance.
“Disciple, go to the back mountain and invite your junior martial brother Shennong over…”
Su Xing smoothly completed the quest sequence, then went to observe the Luotian Assembly venue.
Looking at the palm-sized supreme treasure floating in the air—the Luotian Mirror!
Su Xing was practically drooling with envy!
“Soon… soon!”
“Once I break through to the True Immortal realm… I’ll be able to obtain this mirror!”
Su Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart, in no rush for the moment.
Next, Su Xing found Luo Qingniu and asked him about the key considerations for breaking through from peak Celestial Immortal realm to the True Immortal realm.
“Master… I’d like to ask, is there anything I need to be mindful of when breaking through from Celestial Immortal to True Immortal?”
In the great hall of the Luotian Sect, upon hearing Su Xing’s words, Luo Qingniu felt a touch of emotion:
“Before I even realized it, your cultivation has already approached the True Immortal realm!”
“Well then… it’s time I told you about the differences between the True Immortal realm and the Celestial Immortal realm…”
Luo Qingniu asked, “Disciple, what do you think is the greatest difference between the True Immortal realm and the Celestial Immortal realm?”
Su Xing was momentarily stunned by Luo Qingniu’s question.
The difference between the Celestial Immortal realm and the True Immortal realm?
He truly didn’t know! He’d already killed several peak True Immortal realm cultivators… and hadn’t noticed any particular difference from the Celestial Immortal realm!
But since this was Luo Qingniu’s test, Su Xing still voiced his thoughts:
“Master, I believe… the greatest difference between the Celestial Immortal realm and the True Immortal realm lies in the depth of one’s magical power and comprehension of the Dao!”
“Even an early True Immortal realm cultivator possesses magical power at least twice as dense as a peak Celestial Immortal realm cultivator!”
“Moreover, True Immortal realm cultivators’ comprehension of the Dao has often reached the level of Minor Attainment!”
Hearing Su Xing’s answer, Luo Qingniu nodded slightly and explained:
“Xiaochuan… what you’ve said is partially correct!”
“Between the Celestial Immortal realm and the True Immortal realm, beyond magical power and Dao comprehension… the greatest and most fundamental difference is lifespan!”
Hearing this, Su Xing was taken aback… Lifespan?
Su Xing naturally knew about this, but didn’t the lifespan increase drastically at every immortal realm?
Seeing Su Xing’s confusion, Luo Qingniu elaborated:
“A Human Immortal Realm cultivator has a lifespan of ten thousand years!”
“An Earthly Immortal realm cultivator, twenty thousand years… A Celestial Immortal realm cultivator, forty thousand years, and with life-extending elixirs, can reach fifty thousand years!”
“But the True Immortal realm… is even more terrifying. A True Immortal possesses a lifespan of one hundred thousand years, and if their foundation is undamaged and they take secret medicines… they can live as long as one cosmic cycle!”
After a pause, Luo Qingniu declared with resounding conviction:
“Living long—that is a True Immortal realm cultivator’s greatest advantage!”
Hearing this, Su Xing fell into contemplation.
If a cultivator practiced long enough and mastered more supernatural arts and Daos, they would absolutely become far more powerful!
Sure enough, Luo Qingniu’s next words confirmed Su Xing’s conjecture:
“Cultivators who can reach the True Immortal realm… even the least talented among them possess at least Super Spirit Root aptitude or above!”
“And there are many who possess extraordinary spiritual roots or even divine physiques!”
“Therefore, after the True Immortal realm… aptitude is often not the decisive factor, because everyone’s aptitude is more or less excellent!”
After a brief pause, Luo Qingniu continued:
“At this realm and beyond, what truly creates the gap is one’s comprehension of the Dao, mastery of various supernatural arts and techniques—whether they have any flaws—and one’s mastery of Spirit Domain…”
“The True Immortal realm, with a lifespan of one cosmic cycle—most True Immortal realm cultivators, barring any accidents, can smoothly cultivate all the way to peak True Immortal realm.”
“But whether one encounters fortuitous opportunities, and how one’s luck fares, becomes the critical factor…”
“True Immortal realm cultivators typically spend ten thousand years or more shoring up their weaknesses. Those with frail physical bodies will purchase treasures and temper their physiques!”
“Those with insufficient Dao comprehension will find ways to acquire Dao essence treasures to enhance their Dao…”
“Those whose magical power isn’t dense enough will purchase rare natural treasures to refine their magical power…”
“All of this makes the gap between True Immortal realm cultivators extremely vast! Because at this realm, it’s all about depth of foundation!”
After hearing Luo Qingniu’s words, Su Xing could not help but agree.
He himself was exactly like this, spending a great deal of time and effort shoring up his weaknesses, ensuring he could maintain an absolute advantage within his own realm—and even fight above his level.
This would save him a great many detours after breaking through to the True Immortal realm.
Su Xing did a rough mental calculation.
For an ordinary Human Immortal Realm cultivator, ninety percent of their time was probably spent on cultivation, leaving them little time to refine techniques… Otherwise, when their lifespan drew near its end, they would face nothing but sorrow.
Only those with sufficient aptitude could afford to spend time refining their supernatural arts and Dao comprehension without falling behind in cultivation.
The same held true for Earthly Immortal and Celestial Immortal realm cultivators.
As cultivation difficulty increased, they would devote the majority of their time to advancing their Qi Refinement cultivation. Those who could suppress others at the same realm were without question absolute prodigies.
“True Immortal… compared to Celestial Immortal, it’s like a heavenly chasm!”
Su Xing smacked his lips, a sense of yearning in his heart.
Though he had already slain several True Immortal realm cultivators, having not yet reached True Immortal himself, he couldn’t help but feel the desire.
Just as Su Xing was lost in thought, Luo Qingniu arrived at the crux of the matter.
“As for the Wind Calamity, it is the most perilous of the Three Calamities of Immortals, the most difficult… and the one that provides the greatest benefits!”
“The piercing wind passes through the dantian, baptizes the divine soul… and further enhances the cultivator’s aptitude and Dao comprehension!”
“Xiaochuan, all I can tell you is this… the longer you endure the Wind Calamity, the greater the benefit to your future! So you must take it seriously!”
“For an ordinary Celestial Immortal, enduring several decades of Wind Calamity is already considered excellent… but for a top-tier prodigy, enduring a hundred years is no great feat!”
After a pause, Luo Qingniu continued:
“The founding ancestor of our Luotian Sect endured the Wind Calamity for five hundred and six years… which ranks among the top ten in all the Three Thousand Worlds!”
“If you wish to advance to the Grand Luo realm… you must endure at least three hundred years of Wind Calamity or more…”
Hearing this, Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly.
Three hundred years of Wind Calamity?
But… a single simulation of his didn’t even last three hundred years!
What was he supposed to do?
Su Xing frowned, turning the problem over in his mind.
Meanwhile, Luo Qingniu continued:
“Of course, the Wind Calamity is perilous. It’s best to prepare a sufficient supply of Wind-Calming Pearls to ensure your divine soul remains undamaged… allowing you to get through the early stages of the Wind Calamity with ease…”
After hearing Luo Qingniu’s words, Su Xing gained a much deeper understanding of the Wind Calamity.
Bidding farewell to Luo Qingniu, Su Xing headed to the Scripture Pavilion and continued studying the Dao of Puppetry under Ghost Granny.
At the same time, Su Xing also learned a new supernatural art called “Summoning”!
This technique could summon inanimate objects within a certain range—a truly immortal-level ability.
With this supernatural art, Su Xing would no longer need to laboriously collect Abyss Stones by hand.
…
The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
“Before reaching the True Immortal realm, I now have a thorough understanding of the final Wind Calamity…”
“So next, let me attempt to endure the Wind Calamity!”
Su Xing had a nascent idea—if he could extract only the Wind Calamity without redeeming the True Immortal realm cultivation…
Wouldn’t he be able to stack the Wind Calamity repeatedly, reaping terrifying benefits from it?
“This is just a preliminary idea… Whether it can actually work remains to be seen through practice!”
Su Xing thought this to himself, then turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【After leaving the Luotian Instance, you gained a great deal.】
【Next, you prepared to search for a passage to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm…】
【Across the entirety of Earth, numerous void nodes are scattered about, leading to different worlds.】
【However, all void nodes are covered by a tremendous force, like a spider’s web… preventing the people of Earth from easily departing.】
【You found a weak point you had previously discovered and were confident that with your strength and comprehension of the Great Dao of Space, you could pass through…】
【But what you needed was not simply to leave Earth, but to leave Earth undetected…】
【At the same time, you also needed to find a way to return to Earth safely!】
【Leaving was easy, but returning was hard…】
【But you had to try.】
【And so, at this void node, you continuously laid down formations, shielded all perception, and simultaneously employed the Dao of Destiny to conceal your own karmic secrets.】
【Fortunately, your Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny had reached the Initial Glimpse level, which allowed you to largely shield the Red Moon’s detection of your aura.】
【You were confident that even if you broke through the void node, you would not be discovered…】
【You spent a full week in preparation.】
【One week later, you rode the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel, transforming into a streak of golden light that streaked through the void, heading toward the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm…】
【The Lesser Azure Cloud Realm was only a few void nodes away from Earth. As soon as you arrived in the void, you began searching for the direction of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【After more than two years of void travel… you finally found a correct path leading to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm!】
In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.
“Spending over two years in the void? That’s…”
Su Xing clearly could not accept wasting two years for nothing.
After all, in the void, Su Xing could hardly cultivate, let alone acquire origin energy…
“Wait… I was thinking about it wrong…”
“It should be that Earth’s location is uncertain, obscured by the Red Moon’s barrier…”
“If things go smoothly, with my Celestial Immortal realm cultivation, perhaps I could reach the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm in just two months…”
“And if I break through to the True Immortal realm, it might only take one month!”
But at the same time, Su Xing was somewhat worried.
“Leaving is easy… but getting back is the hard part!”
“If I leave Earth… everything I’ve accumulated over these years will be for nothing, and I’ll lose my greatest source of energy…”
Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly.
Earth’s Class Users were weak in strength, but the origin energy generated by the world each year—while perhaps not comparable to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm—was probably no less than that of an ordinary lesser chiliocosm.
Su Xing had been planning to exploit the different resources between the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm and Earth to make a huge profit in energy!
“I need to find a way back!”
Su Xing thought this to himself and turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【In early year three, you successfully arrived at the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【Upon arriving at the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, you sold a large amount of intelligence to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, netting a handsome five million drops of high-grade spirit liquid!】
【After making a fortune, you remained in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm. Using Su Ye’s identity and joining forces with rogue cultivators, you raided numerous Advent Cult branches, reaping rich rewards.】
【Afterward, your reputation began to spread throughout the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【Next, rather than staying in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, you tried to find your way back to Earth…】
【However, just as you had predicted, leaving was easy but returning was hard…】
【Following the path from your memory, you rode the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel back into the void!】
【You spent over a month to locate the approximate region where Earth should be.】
【But this entire area was shrouded in what seemed like a layer of deep fog, surrounded by chaotic void currents and void mist, making it completely impossible to see clearly from the outside!】
【You were greatly alarmed, because when you had left Earth, you hadn’t seen any of this.】
【Could it be that in just a few short years, something else had happened to Earth?】
【You had no way of knowing, but you were certain that Earth was right here… you simply couldn’t find the way in.】
【Unwilling to give up, you searched this area repeatedly, combing through one void node after another, but came up empty each time.】
【In the blink of an eye, several years passed.】
【In year seven, you sensed that continuing to linger here might become dangerous… Your current comprehension of the Great Dao of Space was not yet sufficient to allow you to pierce through the void and locate Earth’s precise coordinates…】
In the real world, Su Xing’s brow was tightly furrowed upon seeing this.
“The Red Moon’s blockade of Earth… isn’t just inward-facing, but outward-facing as well?”
“Because… It fears the Three Thousand Worlds learning that It hasn’t died—that It has even been resurrected through slaughter!”
“It fears being discovered by those great and powerful cultivators, who would then come to destroy It?”
Su Xing nodded slightly. The truth was likely exactly this.
Compared to the inward blockade, the Red Moon’s outward blockade was even more terrifying!
With Su Xing’s cultivation and comprehension of the Great Dao of Space, he clearly knew Earth was right there, yet still couldn’t find it…
This showed just how difficult locating Earth truly was!
“I’m afraid that without deliberately searching for it, even a Golden Immortal would struggle to find the Red Moon and Earth!”
Su Xing took a deep breath. He now understood why the Red Moon had always been so brazen and unafraid.
In the vicinity of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, a Golden Immortal cultivator was virtually impossible to find…
Therefore, barring any surprises, the Red Moon would certainly succeed in its resurrection.
“However, as long as I intervene, the Red Moon won’t find resurrection so easy!”
Su Xing clenched his fists. Since he couldn’t find the way back to Earth, he would push even further in his comprehension of the Great Dao of Space!
Perhaps after reaching Minor Attainment in spatial Dao, things would change…
“So from now on, before leaving Earth, I need to focus my efforts on comprehending the Great Dao of Space!”
The corner of Su Xing’s mouth curved upward. Comprehending spatial Dao might be very difficult.
But for Su Xing, who possessed Dao-Enlightenment Tea… it was only a matter of time!
Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【You temporarily abandoned the attempt to return to Earth and spent over a month traveling back to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【The moment you returned to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, you were met with Storm Rain Tower’s first wave of assassination!】
【A peak Celestial Immortal realm assassin attacked you, and you killed them in return…】
【Your reputation grew even louder. Every cultivator in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm now knew that a peak Celestial Immortal realm cultivator had emerged in their world.】
【But you cared nothing for such hollow fame. Instead, you turned your attention to collecting Wind-Calming Pearls!】
【You inquired at the Celestial Secrets Pavilion. A single Wind-Calming Pearl was typically priced at fifty million high-grade spirit stones or above! And they were often available in name only, with no actual stock…】
【During periods of resource scarcity, the price had even been driven up to over eighty million!】
【Furthermore, the trading houses of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm did not have Wind-Calming Pearls for sale.】
【The Celestial Secrets Pavilion informed you that if you wished to purchase Wind-Calming Pearls, the Gold Coin Trading Company would be your best bet!】
【Having learned this, you rode the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel and made a trip to the Gold Coin Trading Company, hoping to purchase Wind-Calming Pearls…】
