Chapter 243 – Defeating a Demon Saint, Extended by Ten Years! (7k mega-chapter)

In the Real World, Su Xing gazed at the simulation text before him, his heart filled with anticipation.

“Finally… the battle against that Demon Saint is coming!”

It was easy to imagine that after defeating the Demon Saint, the simulation duration would be further extended.

“I want to see for myself — between a Demon Saint and a Mahayana cultivator, who is truly stronger?”

“Although my strength is considerable right now, I lack real combat experience… Perhaps I should run an immersive simulation to gain experience fighting powerful enemies!”

With that thought, Su Xing silently intoned:

“Activate immersive simulation function. Duration: 3 days… Remaining energy: 288,880,000 points.”

As the notification chimed, Su Xing’s vision shifted and transformed, and he found himself within Demon-Sealing Pass.

Thousands of meters above the ground, beneath his feet stretched an endless expanse of blood-red earth.

In the sky, a crimson moon flickered in and out of view, dyeing the heavens a shade of blood.

A winding chasm stretching dozens of li, bottomless and vast, cut across the land, holding back the countless demon beast army beyond.

“Those who cross this boundary — die!”

A voice echoed through the air, reverberating endlessly.

Su Xing narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the demon beast army below before finally settling on the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint standing with arms behind his back at the head of the myriad demon forces.

“Heh heh, a mere human, yet such bold words!”

The Double-Pupiled Demon Saint also looked toward Su Xing, sizing him up before speaking:

“You’re not bad. You look stronger than the old man before you. I wonder how many moves of mine you can withstand?”

From Su Xing’s body, the Demon Saint sensed a faint trace of threat.

After all, Su Xing’s current life aura already surpassed the Emperor level, though it remained below that of a Demon Saint.

The Demon Saint waved his hand, and the demon beast army below surged forward once more, attempting to cross the abyssal chasm Su Xing had carved.

Su Xing let out a cold snort at the sight, then gripped his sword single-handed and casually unleashed a streak of sword qi a thousand zhang long.

The sword qi plunged into the demon beast army, and in the span of a single breath, tens of thousands of demon beasts were cut down.

The endless demon beast army instantly lost its nerve, none daring to cross the abyss any longer.

The Double-Pupiled Demon Saint looked at the sword in Su Xing’s hand with an expression of keen interest.

“Very impressive. That single sword strike alone qualifies you to be my opponent!”

Su Xing frowned slightly upon hearing this. He had no idea how strong this Demon Saint truly was, but his ability to posture was certainly first-rate.

With a cold snort, Su Xing struck first, slashing out three streaks of thousand-zhang sword qi that flew one after another toward the Demon Saint.

Yet the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He formed hand seals with both hands, conjuring a golden barrier to block the three sword qi blasts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sword qi collided with the golden barrier, triggering massive shockwaves in the air. In an instant, wild gales erupted in all directions, and the shattered sword qi fragmented into thousands of pieces that rained down upon the demon beast army below.

In mere moments, several thousand more demon beasts perished under the residual sword qi.

Meanwhile, the golden barrier before the Demon Saint cracked apart like a spider’s web, unable to withstand the three sword qi blasts Su Xing had unleashed.

The residual sword qi surged toward the Demon Saint.

A flicker of surprise crossed Su Xing’s face.

“This Demon Saint… doesn’t seem as strong as I imagined? Although he knows spell arts, the defensive power of that golden barrier is probably only at the Body Integration Perfection level…”

However, what happened next changed Su Xing’s assessment entirely.

The remnant sword light slashed toward the Demon Saint — sword radiance imbued with True Sword Intent. Even a cultivator at Body Integration Perfection would have to dodge its edge.

Yet the Demon Saint merely extended his hand and swatted the remaining sword radiance aside.

The sword radiance changed direction, flying dozens of li before shearing off two mountaintops, finally exhausting its power.

A look of astonishment flashed through Su Xing’s eyes.

“So that’s how it is… This Demon Saint may be lacking in spell arts, but his physical strength is terrifyingly powerful!”

Su Xing had seen it clearly — the Demon Saint had used absolutely no defensive techniques. He had relied purely on his physical body to disperse Su Xing’s sword qi.

To possess such terrifying physical power — even a cultivator at Primordial Unity realm Great Perfection couldn’t achieve that.

“Judging by his physique alone, it’s probably reached mid-stage Body Tempering Major Mastery!”

Su Xing estimated that this Double-Pupiled Demon Saint was at the mid-level of the Demon Saint rank, possessing physical strength comparable to mid-stage Major Mastery of Body Tempering, along with some peculiar abilities. In terms of spell arts, he was comparable to Body Integration Perfection.

“Truly formidable… This Double-Pupiled Demon Saint must hold an extremely high status among the demon race. Perhaps he hails from some royal bloodline?”

Su Xing mused thoughtfully.

At that very moment, the Demon Saint, who had been several thousand meters away from Su Xing, suddenly vanished from his position and appeared behind Su Xing in the next instant.

“Tsk tsk, that sword strike just now was rather interesting. Now it’s my turn, wouldn’t you say…”

With that, the Demon Saint formed his hands into claws and lunged at Su Xing.

Fortunately, Su Xing’s divine sense was exceptional. He reacted swiftly, immediately raising his Protective Hardened Qi and primordial energy armor as a shield before him!

Boom!

A single blow sent Su Xing flying dozens of li, crashing like a cannonball into a barren mountain.

The massive mountain range shattered on impact. The Demon Saint’s lips curled upward slightly, seemingly satisfied with his handiwork.

Yet before he could savor the moment—

Among the collapsing boulders, a streak of light flashed past, hurtling toward the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint at astonishing speed.

“Nice speed… but your power is a bit lacking!”

Su Xing reappeared before the Demon Saint, wiped away the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, then swung out a devastating punch!

Primordial Unity realm Perfection — the force of ten mountains!

Combined with the dual enhancement of primordial energy and the Essence of Strength, the power behind Su Xing’s fist had reached astronomical heights.

The Double-Pupiled Demon Saint’s hair stood on end as he recognized that this single punch had fully reached the level of a Demon Saint!

But he was, after all, a mighty Demon Saint. With a million demons watching below, he naturally couldn’t lose face by dodging.

So the Demon Saint also threw a punch, one that likewise contained his comprehension of the Origin Force!

“As expected — Demon Saint powerhouses have also comprehended the Origin Force…”

Su Xing’s heart stirred. He neither dodged nor evaded, wanting to see whose strength was truly superior.

Boom!

The collision of their fists unleashed terrifying shockwaves that sent clouds of dust hundreds of meters high into the air. The earth cracked and split… mountains collapsed within a hundred li.

Below, more than half the demon beasts in the army below Grandmaster-stage were killed instantly.

And dozens of li away, an invisible barrier rose above Demon-Sealing Pass, firmly blocking the aftershocks of battle.

One man and one demon, fists clashing, transformed the terrain wherever they fought.

In the end, their exchange of blows was evenly matched.

In terms of pure physical strength, the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint still held a slight edge over Su Xing.

But with the augmentation of primordial energy, Su Xing’s total power actually exceeded that of the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint.

Meanwhile, the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint’s comprehension of the Origin Force ran slightly deeper than Su Xing’s.

And so this exchange ended in a draw.

“Ha ha ha! Exhilarating! Again, again!”

The Double-Pupiled Demon Saint was like a war demon, excitement flashing across his face as he roared and charged back into close combat with Su Xing.

Su Xing was naturally unafraid. And so, high above the ground, two terrifying “monsters” battled their way across eight thousand li.

Wherever they passed, the aftershocks of their combat annihilated nearly all life in their wake.

In the blink of an eye, a full day and night had passed…

Through the battle with the Demon Saint, Su Xing gained many insights.

At first he had been somewhat outclassed, since he lacked experience fighting opponents of the same caliber.

But as the battle wore on, Su Xing found his rhythm. The twenty years of combat experience gained at Demon-Sealing Pass had honed his raw fighting technique to a level that matched the Demon Saint blow for blow.

On the first day, Su Xing fought the Demon Saint using pure physical strength alone.

Su Xing was at a disadvantage, though the exchange was fierce and closely contested.

Yet Su Xing keenly noticed that the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint seemed to possess even greater power that he had yet to unleash.

On the second day, Su Xing held nothing back and fought with his swordsmanship.

Protective Hardened Qi shielded his body while his sword radiance swept forth carrying True Sword Intent.

Under this pressure, the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint was forced to reveal his Demon Saint true form!

The Double-Pupiled Demon Saint’s true body was a four-legged creature standing thousands of zhang tall — resembling both an ox and a tiger, yet defying precise description, its skin covered in what appeared to be natural battle armor.

After assuming his true form, his strength, speed, and defensive power all nearly doubled.

At first, Su Xing struggled to adapt.

But as the battle continued, his hands grew ever hotter. Wherever his sword radiance struck, it carved ragged wounds into the Demon Saint’s true form.

By the third day, Su Xing’s True Sword Intent had given him a decisive advantage.

As the Demon Saint’s injuries worsened, his combat power gradually declined.

At the most perilous moment, Su Xing nearly succeeded in slaying the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint.

“Phew… It’s time to end this battle, isn’t it?”

Su Xing gripped his spirit sword Blackice, steadying his breathing as he gazed at the mountain-sized bizarre beast in the distance.

Then, with a single slash, he sent forth sword qi ten thousand zhang long, streaking directly toward the Demon Saint’s neck.

A flash of sword radiance later, a deep wound that reached bone was carved across the Demon Saint’s neck. Blood cascaded to the earth, forming small lakes where it pooled.

Strike landed, Su Xing prepared to press his advantage. He gripped his spirit sword and readied the Heaven Sword Art to deliver the killing blow.

But at the critical moment, his heart pounded wildly as if in warning. He immediately halted his advance.

Upon the Demon Saint’s true form, a fist-sized golden light flashed, scattering in all directions and making the very earth tremble.

“That… appears to be an extremely powerful magical treasure!?”

Su Xing drew a deep breath. The golden light obscured his vision, preventing him from seeing clearly, yet he could sense an extreme threat emanating from within.

But in that brief moment, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the air. The Demon Saint hastily reverted to human form, dove into the rift, and fled without a trace.

Su Xing stared at the scene, momentarily stunned, then quickly processed what had happened.

“That Demon Saint… ran away!?”

Su Xing looked at the distant remnants — the Legendary-level demon beasts that had been mostly slaughtered, the tattered demon army… and that lone Demon Emperor.

They all stood dumbfounded, windswept and bewildered.

A strange look crossed Su Xing’s face. He then swung his sword qi and began slaughtering the demon beasts below…

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the Real World.

……

“This Demon Saint… seems to have no ordinary background!”

Su Xing rubbed his chin and muttered.

The magical treasure the Demon Saint carried appeared capable of tearing open space and transporting its user to a predetermined location.

Most likely, it was a life-saving trump card given to the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint by an elder.

“What a pity… I was so close to killing him!”

Su Xing shook his head.

“But driving away the Demon Saint isn’t bad either… Now, let’s see how much longer Demon-Sealing Pass can hold out.”

Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【You battled the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint for three days and three nights, ultimately defeating him by a narrow margin.】

【You had hoped to slay the Demon Saint with your own hands, but he used a magical treasure to escape by the skin of his teeth.】

【Nevertheless, this did not prevent the collapse of the demon army. Over the following months, your forces encircled and annihilated the demon beast army, successfully defending Demon-Sealing Pass.】

【At this point, you did not know when the demon race’s next wave of attack would come.】

【But you had no intention of wasting this precious time. You began studying the National Fortune Chapter of the Eight Trigrams Divination Art.】

【Year Twenty-Nine: Your comprehension of the National Fortune Chapter reached the Introductory level. You could now perform the Heavenly Secrets Concealment Art, shielding an entire mountain — cultivators weaker than you who passed by would be completely unable to sense its existence.】

【Additionally, you could now divine the future fate of an entire city, though at the cost of lifespan.】

【The demon army showed no signs of rallying again, so you continued your unhurried cultivation of the Eight Trigrams Divination Art.】

【Five years passed in this manner.】

【Year Thirty-Four: Your comprehension of the Eight Trigrams Divination Art deepened with each passing day. At the same time, even without deliberate cultivation, your Qi Refinement realm had reached the late phase of Body Integration stage second layer.】

【Throughout these years, you maintained contact with Blood Three. Blood Three appeared unaware that you had already betrayed the Advent Cult.】

【You also feigned concern, reporting that a new mid-stage Body Integration cultivator had appeared among the humans of Earth, and asked Blood Three for a solution.】

【Blood Three merely indicated that you needn’t panic—a mere Mahayana cultivator couldn’t make any waves, and someone would be sent to deal with it soon.】

【On the surface you expressed pleasant surprise, but inwardly you felt a heavy weight. Sure enough, just as you had suspected, the foreign races would not easily give up their assault on Earth. Having defeated the Demon Saint, even stronger enemies would come in the future.】

【But all you could do was cultivate even harder, raising your strength bit by bit.】

【And so, another four years passed…】

【At the start of the thirty-eighth year, your Qi Refinement realm advanced to the third layer of Body Integration stage.】

【That same year, your comprehension of the Eight Trigrams Divination Art’s National Fortune Chapter was only a single step away from Minor Mastery.】

【One day, sensing something in your heart, you divined the fate of Demon-Sealing Pass and the human race.】

【Expending a hundred years of lifespan, you calculated that the human race and Demon-Sealing Pass were destined for a great calamity—within half a year, Demon-Sealing Pass would certainly be destroyed.】

【And if you remained at Demon-Sealing Pass, you too would face certain death.】

【After some hesitation, you left Demon-Sealing Pass and returned to Earth.】

【Because you had a more important task to accomplish—attempting to explore the path beyond Major Mastery of Body Tempering.】

【Three months later, you received news that Demon-Sealing Pass had been destroyed.】

【The Double-Pupiled Demon Saint had returned, and accompanying him was an existence far surpassing a Demon Saint…】

【You suspected that it might be a God-level demon, comparable to an Immortal!】

【On Earth, you temporarily escaped this calamity.】

【Several months later, the Amalgamated Beast descended and swallowed the entirety of Earth in a single gulp.】

【You entered the belly of the Amalgamated Beast and began searching for the opportunity to break through to Major Mastery of Body Tempering.】

【Based on your intelligence, you knew that to achieve Major Mastery of Body Tempering, one could only break through by pushing past one’s limits even further.】

【And for you, the best place to shatter your limits was undoubtedly the more powerful lightning zones within the Amalgamated Beast’s belly.】

【This time, you didn’t hesitate and ventured into the large lightning zone…】

【You raised your Protective Hardened Qi, activating all your defenses to their fullest, hoping to withstand the Essence of Lightning within the large lightning zone.】

【However, the destructive power of this lightning ultimately exceeded your limits.】

【You gave it everything you had, barely managing to block one terrifying bolt of lightning, only for your soul to be utterly annihilated by the next…】

【You died!】

【Ding, this simulation has ended…】

After the simulation ended, Su Xing let out a long breath of relief.

“Although I didn’t manage to kill the Demon Saint… extending the simulation by ten years was an absolute windfall!”

For Su Xing, simulation time was the most valuable treasure of all!

With ten extra years, Su Xing could raise his cultivation even further and practice more techniques.

“But… the next realm, Major Mastery of Body Tempering… seems even harder to break through than I imagined!”

Su Xing furrowed his brow tightly.

For an ordinary Primordial Unity realm Great Perfection cultivator, shattering one’s limits might not be all that difficult.

But for Su Xing, whose potential and combat strength far exceeded others at his level, breaking through his limits was correspondingly harder.

The only place Su Xing currently knew of that could shatter his limits was the lightning zone within the Amalgamated Beast’s belly.

However, the large lightning zone was still a bit too much for Su Xing at his current level.

“Within the large lightning zone… the Essence of Lightning contained there must be even more terrifying. If I could shatter my limits there, I should be able to advance the Heavenly Thunder Physique even further, and perhaps even comprehend the Essence of Lightning!”

“But… after reaching Primordial Unity realm Perfection, my physical body has no room left to advance. If I want to survive inside the large lightning zone, I’ll need to push my Protective Hardened Qi to the next level…”

Fortunately, Su Xing already had a lead—by combining sword aura and Protective Hardened Qi, he might be able to create a brand new supernatural art.

“Let me check the rewards from this simulation first…”

Su Xing turned his gaze to the rewards list.

【Celestial Resonance】: Purple talent. Price: 1,000,000 energy.

【Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience】: After redemption, existing alchemy insights will increase slightly. Price: 10,000,000 energy.

【Primordial Chaos Realm, Perfection】: Break through the Primordial Unity, shatter illusion, and ascend your physical body and strength to a new level. Outstanding cultivators at the Primordial Unity realm can briefly traverse the void. Price: 1,000,000,000 energy.

【Eight Trigrams Fortune Divination Art: Personal Fortune (Perfection), National Fortune (Introductory)】: A Heaven-grade upper-tier secret art created by a wandering Daoist. A technique approaching the Dao, offering a glimpse into the true nature of the Great Dao of Destiny—nearly a Dao art. The Personal Fortune Chapter can divine fortune and misfortune, and help one evade danger. The National Fortune Chapter can measure the fate of a region, a nation, or an entire realm. Studying both together offers the possibility of perceiving the Great Dao of Destiny… Price: 500,000,000 energy.

Su Xing’s gaze fell on the final reward, and a peculiar light flashed through his eyes.

“The Eight Trigrams Divination Art… mastering both chapters can give a glimpse of the Great Dao of Destiny!?”

Su Xing drew in a sharp breath.

The Great Dao of Destiny was one of the three thousand great Daos!

And one of the most supreme among them!

Along with causality, time, space, and other Great Daos, it was among the most extraordinary.

If a cultivator could comprehend the Great Dao of Destiny and cultivate it to profound depths, it would be enough to become a pillar of power within the Three Thousand Worlds.

“It seems… the Eight Trigrams Divination Art may have even greater potential waiting to be unearthed…”

Su Xing nodded slightly.

“However, redeeming both the Body Tempering cultivation and the Eight Trigrams Divination Art this time would require 1.5 billion energy, which is a bit short for now…”

Su Xing checked the time. By now, Lu Yuanwu had probably been waiting for quite a while.

So Su Xing began applying his disguise and concealing his aura, then headed to the agreed meeting point to trade with Lu Yuanwu.

The trade went as smoothly as always, without any surprises.

Su Xing converted the newly acquired one thousand tons of Third Rank exotic metal into 2 billion simulation energy and returned to the spirit field grotto-heaven.

“I only have ten thousand Essence Nurturing Pills left. Looks like I’ll need to run a simulation to bring out more pills!”

“Beyond that, I need to start working on combining Protective Hardened Qi with sword aura… and advancing my Body Integration cultivation as soon as possible!”

Su Xing mapped out a rough plan, then silently intoned:

“Bring out Primordial Unity Great Perfection cultivation, and the Eight Trigrams Divination Art!”

【You have successfully brought out Primordial Unity realm Perfection cultivation. Energy spent: 1,000,000,000. Remaining energy: 1,288,880,000.】

【You have successfully brought out the Eight Trigrams Divination Art… Energy spent: 500,000,000. Remaining energy: 788,880,000.】

As the simulator’s notification faded, two streams of mysterious energy surged into Su Xing’s body.

First came the explosive surge in Su Xing’s cultivation and aura.

Primordial Unity eighth layer… Primordial Unity ninth layer… Primordial Unity Perfection!

In mere moments, Su Xing’s cultivation had leaped across two tiers.

Su Xing closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. After a long while, having adapted to his new power, an excited gleam flashed in his eyes.

“Primordial Unity Great Perfection… the power of ten mountains!”

This was combat strength that far surpassed an ordinary cultivator at Primordial Unity Perfection. With the power of ten mountains combined with the Heaven Sword Art, Su Xing was confident he could go head-to-head with even a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator!

After fully absorbing the growth in cultivation, Su Xing began digesting the new memories flooding his mind.

At this moment, Su Xing’s comprehension of the Dao of Divination was advancing at breakneck speed!

The Dao of Divination was naturally one of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation!

And at its apex, the Dao of Divination touched upon the profound and mysterious doctrines of causality and destiny.

In the Greater World, mighty cultivators who had attained the Grand Luo were not necessarily versed in the Dao of Causality or the Dao of Destiny.

But those who could perceive these two Daos were, without exception, beings of tremendous power.

Fragments flashed through his mind one after another. Comprehending the Eight Trigrams Divination Art was slightly harder than Su Xing had anticipated.

After a moment, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a flash of wonder passing through them.

“The Eight Trigrams Divination Art… even within the Dao of Divination, this is a pinnacle-level technique!”

“With the Personal Fortune Chapter at Perfection, using the Eight Trigrams Divination Art to conceal karmic secrets means that unless someone’s cultivation exceeds mine by two full major realms, they cannot detect me…”

“I’m currently at early-stage Body Integration… which means even a Human Immortal Realm powerhouse would find it difficult to sense my cultivation!”

Su Xing was quite satisfied with the effects of the Eight Trigrams Divination Art.

“If I master the National Fortune Chapter as well, could I then conceal my personal grotto-heaven, preventing cultivators stronger than me from sensing its existence?”

Su Xing fell into contemplation.

In his previous simulation, Blood Three had easily detected Su Xing’s spirit field grotto-heaven.

Because of that, Su Xing had been forced to transplant his Spirit-Gathering Flowers to the Myriad Wood Sect ruins to prevent their discovery.

But if he could fully master the Eight Trigrams Divination Art, perhaps he wouldn’t need to worry about the spirit field grotto-heaven being discovered anymore…

“But for now, I still need to keep grinding for energy!”

Su Xing sighed, then began a new week of puppet crafting.

As his puppet-crafting skills grew ever more refined, Su Xing produced four more puppets this week. With these additions, Su Xing now had a full twenty-five alchemy puppets!

Each week, they could supply Su Xing with twelve thousand five hundred Fasting Pills!

Su Xing gazed at the puppets before him and murmured:

“As my mastery of the Dao of Puppetry continues to advance, perhaps I can eventually improve the alchemy puppets to refine higher-grade pills… like Marrow Cleansing Pills?”

Su Xing stroked his chin, entertaining the thought.

The date arrived at February 17th, 2025—the day Su Xing was to meet with Jin Congxue.

Su Xing applied his disguise and concealed his aura, then made his way to the Villa.

“Here are fifty thousand newly refined Fasting Pills… Take these pills and acquire another exotic metal mining zone. Can you manage that?”

Su Xing handed over a storage ring.

Jin Congxue accepted the pills and nodded:

“Including this batch, Great Xia’s military should have over a hundred thousand Fasting Pills by now… But since these are essential supplies, the military will naturally want to stockpile them.”

“Though I estimate that once Great Xia’s military has stockpiled enough Fasting Pills for the next decade or two, they’ll stop accumulating more…”

Su Xing nodded slightly, unsurprised by this.

The Fasting Pills needed for a decade or two would require Su Xing to refine six or seven hundred thousand pills.

That meant it could bring Su Xing another dozen or so second-order exotic metal mining zones.

For at least the next half year, Su Xing would need to keep manufacturing his puppet army.

And alchemy puppets could refine more than just one type of pill, so it was hardly a waste.

Su Xing looked at Jin Congxue before him, and on a sudden whim, decided to cast a divination for her.

“This girl will be advancing to Heavenly King-stage in a few months. I wonder if she’ll succeed…”

Su Xing calculated on his fingers, and faintly, he perceived transparent threads weaving back and forth.

After a moment, a peculiar expression crossed Su Xing’s face.

“The hexagram result… half auspicious, half ominous?”

Su Xing frowned slightly and performed a more detailed divination.

Given the gap in power between Su Xing and Jin Congxue, he naturally didn’t need to pay any cost for this.

After a moment, Su Xing obtained the detailed hexagram result.

She would encounter an unexpected incident, fail to advance to Heavenly King-stage, but her life would not be in danger…

Clearly, this was not the outcome Su Xing wanted to see.

“A mere Heavenly King-stage boss… When the time comes, I’ll craft two Fifth Rank talismans and give them to Xue-jie for protection.”

With this thought in mind, Su Xing cast another divination.

Sure enough, the hexagram shifted from half auspicious, half ominous to greatly auspicious.

This meant Jin Congxue would be able to smoothly complete her advancement mission and reach Heavenly King-stage.

“So it seems that hexagrams and the future… are not set in stone. A powerful cultivator can effortlessly alter the future trajectory of the weak!”

Su Xing let out a soft sigh.

He felt even more keenly that in this world, powerful cultivation was what truly mattered above all!

After finishing the meal, Su Xing returned to the spirit field grotto-heaven.

The new week’s goods exchange brought in another 200 million energy.

Looking at his fully cooled-down simulation opportunity, Su Xing silently intoned:

“Begin simulation!”

【Ding! This simulation costs 7,500 energy. Remaining energy: 1,012,380,000. Remaining simulation attempts: none.】

【Simulation begins!】

【Drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy. Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1,000,000 energy. Do you wish to draw?】

“Hell yeah, I’m absolutely drawing for gold quality! It’s about time one showed up, right!?”

Su Xing declared without hesitation.

【Ding, congratulations! You have obtained the gold talent “Gift of Roses.” Pity counter reset to zero. Probability of drawing a gold talent next time: 10%…】
