Chapter 282 – Major Simulator Update, Luotian Immortal Ascension Art! [Thanks to Alliance Leader Priest Wan Qingfeng]
by spirapira【Simulator Version 5.0 Features are as follows】:
【1. Energy currency system upgrade: simulation energy has been upgraded to simulation origin. Automatic conversion will be performed at a ratio of 1,000,000 simulation energy points to 1 origin energy point.】
【2. Base energy requirement for simulations has been removed.】
【3. Immersive simulation cost changed to 1 origin energy point per day of immersive simulation.】
【4. Gold talent draw probability cap increased to sixty percent.】
【5. Ten additional talent slot caps added.】
【6. Talent pool draw function optimized…】
Su Xing scanned the simulation panel, and his eyes immediately lit up.
“The changes in this simulator upgrade… are massive!”
“Especially those ten extra talent slots—that’s equivalent to saving me a huge amount of energy!”
Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered.
Currently, the cost for Su Xing to extract a talent and expand a talent slot had already reached ten billion simulation energy.
Even for Su Xing, facing such an enormous sum was painful.
And these newly expanded talent slots would save Su Xing a massive amount of spending!
Most critically!
The increased talent slots gave Su Xing the possibility of combining multiple talents together.
The enhancement of multiple sacred and divine physiques also became a feasible plan!
“Mm, and the immersive simulation… Originally, a single 24-hour simulation required 2.4 million simulation energy, but now it only costs 1 origin energy point. That saves quite a bit of energy!”
Su Xing nodded slightly. If he had abundant energy in the future…
Using immersive simulation for a year or half a year to comprehend a certain supernatural art… might also be feasible!
This meant that besides the simulation rewards he extracted each time, Su Xing could also gain an additional decent bonus!
【This simulator version upgrade costs 10 billion energy… Upgrade?】
“Yes!”
Su Xing didn’t hesitate, answering decisively.
【Simulator upgrading…】
【Ding, upgrade complete! Life Simulator Version 5.0 is at your service!】
Su Xing nodded slightly. He wasn’t in a rush to simulate, but instead looked at his attribute panel.
【Name: Su Xing】
【Age: 23】
【Occupation: Cultivator】

【Special Physique: Heavenly Thunder Physique (Stage 2)】
Currently, Su Xing’s talents had reached fifteen, and after the system upgrade, the talent slot cap would expand to twenty-five. This was undoubtedly an enormous boost to Su Xing’s strength.
As for his various supernatural arts and skills, Su Xing had also made some progress.
The biggest change was Su Xing’s nine Great Dao origins!
He had comprehended three embryonic Great Daos, two Origin Forces at Perfection, plus three origins at Major Mastery!
These were also Su Xing’s trump cards for fighting above his level against Earthly Immortal realm cultivators!
“Come to think of it, I should also cultivate the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art… If I don’t, I have no idea how slow my cultivation speed would be in the Human Immortal realm relying on my own practice alone.”
Su Xing murmured: “And I need techniques for after the Immortal stage. It’s time to make another trip to the Luotian dungeon!”
Su Xing had a premonition that after reaching the Immortal realm, going to the Luotian dungeon would definitely yield a huge surprise.
Perhaps the secrets of Luotian would be further unveiled…
Su Xing’s gaze fell upon the marker indicating Great Shaman Body Forging Art, First Layer, Minor Mastery, and he fell into thought.
“The Great Shaman Body Forging Art is currently my most important method for continuing to increase my strength after reaching the Immortal realm…”
“Moreover, blood essence is relatively easy to obtain. Combined with the Ancient Shaman Physique, cultivating the first layer isn’t difficult… I should prioritize this!”
After briefly planning, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
“Begin simulation!”
【Current remaining origin energy: 25,073 points. Remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 origin energy point. Draw?】
Su Xing considered for a moment, then first spent 1,000 origin energy points (equivalent to 1 billion energy) to raise the gold talent draw probability to sixty percent.
“The gold talent probability needs to be raised sooner or later… But for this simulation…”
Su Xing didn’t hesitate much. The gold talent he had drawn in a previous simulation—Acquired Dao Physique—was extremely useful to him.
It was just that last time he was in a rush to increase his cultivation, so Su Xing had temporarily not extracted it.
Now that he had open talent slots, Su Xing naturally wanted to extract the Acquired Dao Physique talent.
So Su Xing opened the talent pool draw interface. At this point, there were three unclaimed gold talents in the talent pool:
Blazing Flame Divine Physique, Entering the Dao Through Formations, and Acquired Dao Physique.
Each talent draw cost one origin energy point…
Su Xing drew twice in succession before finally drawing the Acquired Dao Physique.
The simulator’s notification chimed in his ears.
【Ding, congratulations on obtaining the gold talent Acquired Dao Physique. Simulation begins…】
【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you realize you are in a simulation.】
【You remain in the spirit field grotto-heaven for ten days, accumulating the Great Wisdom state, then head to the Luotian dungeon…】
Seeing this, Su Xing’s heart stirred, and he silently thought:
“Use immersive simulation… duration: 1 day!”
【Ding, you have successfully spent 1 origin energy point. Remaining origin energy: 24,070 points…】
As the notification faded, Su Xing’s vision shifted and transformed.
The next second, he appeared inside the Luotian Sect’s great hall.
“Xiaochuan, go to the rear mountain and invite your Senior Brother Shennong to come participate in the Luotian Assembly together…”
An aged voice reached his ears. Su Xing focused his gaze.
The speaker had a face so dignified it was hard to look at directly, yet the corners of his eyes unexpectedly carried a hint of kindness. He stood seven feet tall with a well-proportioned physique, wearing a Daoist robe, exuding the demeanor of an immortal.
This person—Su Xing didn’t recognize him!
It seemed to be a new master? Named… Luo Qingniu?
“Yes, Master!”
Su Xing nodded, then followed the route from his memories toward the rear mountain to find Senior Brother Shennong Youtian.
Along the way, Su Xing tried to recall the information he’d received upon entering this dungeon.
But he was surprised to discover… there was no information at all!
Su Xing only knew that the immortal elder just now was named Luo Qingniu and was the Sect Master of the Luotian Sect. Beyond that, he knew nothing…
“The Luotian Sect’s Sect Master… isn’t the same master as before?”
Su Xing was somewhat puzzled, but then seemed to think of something and murmured:
“As expected… things are getting interesting!”
“The Luotian dungeon seems vastly different this time!”
Su Xing quickened his pace, went to the rear mountain, and found Senior Brother Shennong laboring in the fields.
Together with Senior Brother Shennong, Su Xing returned to the great hall.
Upon seeing Master Luo Qingniu, the man nodded slightly and beckoned to Su Xing and Senior Brother Shennong.
Su Xing followed behind Luo Qingniu, walking out of the great hall.
Along the way, Su Xing noticed many figures heading in the same direction.
After walking for about two hours, Luo Qingniu finally stopped and waved his hand at a formation barrier before him.
Immediately, the transparent barrier dissipated, and Su Xing saw a sight he had never witnessed before.
Within an enormous celestial altar, countless cultivators sat in solemn meditation—some praying, some cultivating, all with grave expressions.
Occasionally, Luotian Sect cultivators would arrive, silently entering the altar, finding a spot to sit down, and gazing up at the sky on their own.
Just then, Su Xing heard Luo Qingniu’s voice.
“Xiaochuan, do you know… why the Luotian Assembly exists?”
Hm?
Why does the Luotian Assembly exist?
Hearing this, Su Xing was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately closed it.
Like a pebble dropping into a still pond, sending ripples spreading outward.
At this moment, towering waves surged within Su Xing’s heart.
“That’s right—the Luotian Assembly dungeon… What exactly is the Luotian Assembly for?”
“Why don’t I know even now… And why have I never been curious about this Luotian Assembly, never wanted to explore its secrets!?”
“I’ve never even… thought in this direction? The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes…”
In just a moment, cold sweat soaked through Su Xing’s Daoist robe, and a bone-chilling horror gripped him.
It seemed as if some unknown force… had prevented Su Xing from ever considering this matter.
He had never thought about what the Luotian Assembly was truly for.
Only after Luo Qingniu posed this question was this unknown shackle broken…
Only then did Su Xing begin to think about this question…
Before Su Xing could respond, Luo Qingniu let out a long sigh, his tone tragic and solemn:
“The Luotian Assembly… exists to commemorate the fallen heroes of our Luotian Sect!”
For reasons unknown, upon hearing Luo Qingniu’s words, Su Xing felt an inexplicable sorrow in his heart, as if infected by the man’s tone.
Su Xing remained silent, and Luo Qingniu began to recount the origins of the Luotian Assembly.
“Several cosmic cycles ago, extraterrestrial invaders attacked our Luotian Realm… Along with over a hundred lesser chiliocosms within our Luotian Sect’s territory, they were conquered one after another…”
“Upon learning of this, our Luotian Sect immediately dispatched Golden Immortal stage senior cultivators to investigate and resist the invaders…”
“However, the invaders’ power was not something a single sect could withstand. Therefore, our Luotian Sect sought aid from other top sects across the Three Thousand Worlds… yet none came to help…”
“How laughable. Even mortals understand the principle that when lips are gone, teeth grow cold—yet those immortals who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years did not comprehend it!”
Su Xing said nothing upon hearing this. He had already obtained some intelligence on this matter from the Celestial Secrets Pavilion.
But this was the first time he was hearing it from the mouth of a Luotian Sect member…
Luo Qingniu paused, and a tear seemed to trace down the corner of his eye.
“That war… lasted for tens of thousands of years!”
“Even though the invaders were powerful, several cosmic cycles ago, our Luotian Sect was the foremost power of the human race… With saints not making appearances and our Luotian Ancestor presiding, our Luotian Realm should have been safe!”
“However, the invaders’ forces exceeded all imagination. They deployed several beings comparable to the Grand Luo realm. In the end, during that war… our Luotian Ancestor perished…”
“A war spanning tens of thousands of years—how could the immortal casualties of our Luotian Sect number merely in the tens of thousands?”
“Cultivators below the Tribulation Crossing stage who died or were wounded… were beyond counting!”
“Our Luotian Ancestor’s powers reached the heavens. Alone, he held off three beings comparable to Grand Luo Golden Immortals… fighting until worlds shattered and the Great Dao itself was torn asunder…”
“But in the end, our Luotian Sect still lost!”
At this point, Luo Qingniu’s eyes carried a trace of painful reminiscence.
“Yet the Luotian Sect Ancestor’s power, as a single immortal, was ultimately finite… Our Luotian Sect’s seventy-two Golden Immortals were also hunted down and killed by the invaders…”
“After that war, the Luotian Realm was shattered beyond recognition, never to reclaim its former glory. It has been a full cosmic cycle since then…”
“During that war, our Luotian Sect’s heritage was lost. Many disciples fled to other worlds carrying our legacies, and their fates remain unknown…”
“How tragic. How lamentable!”
“Since that war, the remnants of our Luotian Sect have held this Luotian Assembly once every hundred years—first, to honor our fallen ancestors, and second, to regroup and drive out the invaders… to restore our Luotian Sect to its former glory!”
Hearing Luo Qingniu’s words, Su Xing’s heart trembled.
From those tragic words, he could sense the sheer brutality of that war…
But Su Xing also grasped a deeper meaning, thinking to himself:
“No wonder… Although the Luotian Sect has immortals, most are merely Loose Immortals, and I’ve never even seen a Golden Immortal…”
“So the timeline of this dungeon is already set several cosmic cycles after the Luotian Sect was invaded and its main forces were annihilated…”
Su Xing nodded slightly as a puzzle that had troubled him for a long time quietly resolved itself.
But an even bigger question arose in Su Xing’s mind.
What kind of existence was this Luotian dungeon exactly?
Why did it transcend time, endlessly repeating the day of the Luotian Assembly?
Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly. He felt this matter was far from simple.
The Luotian dungeon was different from other dungeon worlds.
After all, other dungeon worlds had timelines synchronized with Earth and existed as independent minor worlds.
Only the Luotian Sect kept replaying the same day, over and over…
Just as Su Xing was lost in thought, Luo Qingniu continued:
“Xiaochuan, you were born extraordinary… In less than three hundred years of cultivation, you have already achieved Immortal status… You are the hope of our Luotian Sect’s resurgence!”
“But your strength is still too weak… You must endure hardship silently and forge ahead with determination!”
“Xiaochuan, sit beside me and observe the Luotian Assembly…”
Luo Qingniu said this to Su Xing.
Su Xing’s heart stirred. The background had changed this time too—Luo Xiaochuan had cultivated for three hundred years to become an immortal?
Su Xing maintained his composure, found a spot outside the celestial altar, and sat down to quietly observe the ceremony.
But before long, an invisible barrier ejected Su Xing directly from within the altar’s boundary.
When Su Xing tried to enter again, he found he couldn’t.
“Hm? The Luotian Assembly won’t let me observe?”
“I can’t get through the barrier here… It seems to be because my cultivation realm isn’t high enough?”
Su Xing frowned slightly, then with no other choice, made his way to the Scripture Pavilion.
This time, aside from exploring the changes in the Luotian Realm after reaching the Immortal realm, Su Xing had another important objective.
To visit the Scripture Pavilion and find a cultivation art suited to him for the post-Human Immortal stage…
Su Xing arrived at the seventh floor of the Scripture Pavilion. With his current status, he was fully qualified to browse the Scripture Pavilion freely, searching for whatever supernatural arts or cultivation techniques he needed.
“Grand Dust Unification Art… hmm? It can manipulate surrounding gravity, and can be cultivated all the way to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm? What a pity… it’s an earth-element technique…”
“Exotic Flame Art? It can devour the divine flames of the Three Thousand Worlds to increase cultivation… can be cultivated up to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm at its peak. Not bad, this one’s worth considering!”
“Northern Deep Waters Art…”
Su Xing’s eyes were dazzled by the cultivation art section on the seventh floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
Every technique stored on this floor was a supreme cultivation art without exception, numbering over a dozen in total.
In the cultivation world, all cultivation arts could at most be practiced up to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm…
As for what came after Grand Luo, one had to rely on personal comprehension to achieve a breakthrough!
Just as Su Xing was pondering how to choose a cultivation art, Ghost Granny’s figure appeared behind him.
“Xiaochuan, are you here to select a post-Immortal cultivation art?”
Su Xing quickly turned around and bowed respectfully to Ghost Granny. “Yes, Granny!”
Ghost Granny nodded slightly, then looked Su Xing up and down before saying with satisfaction:
“Not bad. Barely three hundred years of cultivation… yet you’ve already achieved Immortality and even comprehended the embryonic form of a Spirit Domain… Golden Immortal is well within your reach!”
“Have you found a cultivation art to your liking?”
Su Xing shook his head slightly. “Not yet…”
Ghost Granny pondered for a moment, then said:
“Our Luotian Sect has countless cultivation arts… but a powerful art isn’t necessarily suited to everyone…”
“I’ve observed that your physique is special, and you possess a mutated spiritual root… Perhaps you could cultivate the Luotian Immortal Transformation Art. Would you be willing?”
Su Xing’s heart stirred when he heard this.
The Luotian Immortal Transformation Art… it was connected to Luotian. Could this be one of the Luotian Sect’s top-tier cultivation arts?
Su Xing bowed and asked, “May I ask how the Luotian Immortal Transformation Art differs from other Grand Luo cultivation arts?”
Ghost Granny smiled at his question and simply said:
“Like the other arts on this floor, the Luotian Immortal Transformation Art is merely a cultivation technique for reaching the Grand Luo realm…”
“However, it is known for being all-encompassing — any spiritual root can cultivate it… The cultivation speed may be about thirty percent slower than ordinary Grand Luo techniques…”
“But the Luotian Sect’s founding ancestor once said personally that hidden within this art… lies the secret to attaining sainthood!”
Hearing Ghost Granny’s words, Su Xing’s heart stirred. He thought of how Qingyunzi, the Advent Cult, and others were all scrambling after the Luotian legacy.
“Could it be… that the Luotian Immortal Transformation Art is also one of the key reasons?”
With the secret to sainthood at stake, Su Xing naturally wouldn’t hesitate.
As for the mediocre cultivation speed… with the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art to compensate, that wouldn’t be a problem!
Su Xing answered decisively:
“Granny, I choose the Luotian Immortal Transformation Art!”
Ghost Granny nodded with satisfaction and produced a jade slip, handing it to Su Xing.
After Su Xing accepted it, Ghost Granny said:
“Xiaochuan… your cultivation has already reached a considerable level. In the future, if you ever have the opportunity to travel to other worlds… I’d like you to do me a favor…”
Su Xing was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood.
The dozens of favors he owed Ghost Granny… was it finally time to repay them?
“My cultivation has reached a certain threshold… so this is what triggers the quest, right?”
Su Xing thought to himself.
He looked at Ghost Granny and said solemnly:
“Granny, whatever you need, please don’t hesitate to tell me…”
Ghost Granny nodded, fell silent for a moment, and a trace of sorrow appeared in her eyes.
She spoke:
“After that great battle, none of our Luotian Sect disciples had any hope of escape… But to ensure the Luotian legacy wouldn’t be extinguished, we chose two plans…”
“One of them was to have some disciples, led by sect elders, flee to other worlds and establish new branches, hoping to preserve the lineage. When the time was right, they would return to the main sect…”
“My dao companion and my disciple both received the mission to carry the legacy… and depart for other worlds…”
“My senior disciple, Bing’er, went to a lesser chiliocosm called the True Spirit World, which isn’t far from the Luotian Sect…”
“And my dao companion, True Immortal Li Yun, traveled to the more distant Verdant Wood World…”
Ghost Granny paused, a sliver of hope still lingering in her eyes.
“Since they left, ten thousand years have already passed… I wonder whether they’ve been able to return safely?”
“If your cultivation reaches a sufficient level in the future, I hope you can help them return to their homeland… If they’re alive, that would be wonderful. Even if they’ve perished… I still hope they can return to their roots…”
Su Xing fell silent for a moment. Judging by the timeline, Ghost Granny’s dao companion and disciple were most likely already dead…
But Su Xing still nodded and said:
“Don’t worry, Granny! I’ll do my best to find them… Perhaps after ten thousand years, they’ve already established their own sects over there!”
Su Xing offered a word of comfort.
Ghost Granny’s body trembled slightly as she said to Su Xing:
“If you find them… I have a set of secret phrases here. Memorize them, and they’ll surely recognize you as an ally…”
With that, a string of secret phrases entered Su Xing’s ears.
Su Xing silently committed them to memory, then watched as Ghost Granny slowly faded away…
After Ghost Granny departed, Su Xing murmured:
“The path Ghost Granny cultivates… is it the way of the Ghost Immortal?”
After advancing to the Immortal realm, Su Xing’s perception had increased dramatically. He could clearly sense that Ghost Granny was unlike ordinary cultivators.
After several comparisons, Su Xing was fairly certain that Ghost Granny cultivated the path of the Ghost Immortal!
Once Ghost Granny left, Su Xing turned his gaze to the jade slip in his hand and began committing it to memory.
The Luotian Immortal Transformation Art was an Immortal-level cultivation technique.
Fortunately, Su Xing had crossed the Immortal tribulation and achieved the Six Senses Realm of divine sense.
He managed to memorize this entire cultivation art before the immersive simulation ended.
The immersive simulation soon concluded…
Su Xing returned to reality.
“The Luotian legacy… the Luotian Assembly… the Luotian heritage?”
Su Xing muttered ceaselessly, then took out pen and paper and began writing and sketching.
After a short while, Su Xing had organized the partial timeline of the Luotian instance.
“Based on the intelligence gathered so far…”
“More than a dozen cosmic cycles ago, during the ancient era… the Wu Clan remnants and the Luotian Sect’s founding ancestor together established the Luotian Sect and founded the sect’s three great families…”
“Shortly afterward, the Luotian Sect’s founding ancestor proved himself as a Grand Luo cultivator and dominated the Three Thousand Worlds for several cosmic cycles.”
“The Luotian Sect’s seventy-two Golden Immortals also elevated the sect to the pinnacle of human factions across the Three Thousand Worlds, commanding over a hundred lesser chiliocosms…”
“Several cosmic cycles passed… until the alien races invaded!”
“This point in time was perhaps five or six hundred thousand years ago?”
“At that time, when the alien races attacked, the Luotian Sect was caught off guard. After engaging the enemy, they realized that a single sect’s power wasn’t enough to resist, so they called for aid…”
“But the other top powers offered no assistance…”
“This war may have lasted several cosmic cycles… three or four hundred thousand years?”
“Until the Luotian Ancestor performed soul dispersal. The Luotian Sect was defeated. The lesser chiliocosms under its dominion, along with the entire Luotian Realm, were consumed… and transformed into what is now Earth?”
“During that war, Red Moon perished… and remained near Earth, seeking an opportunity to resurrect?”
“The Luotian Sect’s power was a shadow of its former self, and one or two cosmic cycles ago, it rapidly declined. They preserved what legacy they could and sent their remaining elders and disciples to other worlds?”
“This point in time should be roughly one cosmic cycle ago?”
“And the timeline of the Luotian instance takes place about ten thousand years after those disciples departed for other worlds… during a particular Luotian Assembly? And it keeps repeating that single day?”
“So… the timeline of the Luotian instance is already fifty to a hundred thousand years in the past!”
“Every time I enter the Luotian instance, I’m traveling back in time, entering Luo Xiaochuan’s body and observing everything from a first-person perspective?”
Su Xing rubbed his brow. He now understood a bit more about the secrets of the Luotian instance.
“So… after tens of thousands of years, does the Luotian Sect’s main branch still exist?”
“Did those elders and disciples who left successfully establish new sects and preserve the lineage?”
Su Xing had no way of knowing.
“The Beast Spirit World… the Verdant Wood World. I absolutely must get my hands on the spatial coordinates of these two worlds, and go see for myself!”
“If I can find the successors of the Luotian Sect… as friends rather than foes, they’d be a tremendous asset in fighting the alien races!”
Su Xing thought to himself.
Whether to fulfill Ghost Granny’s long-held wish or for his own benefit, Su Xing had reason to visit both worlds.
Of course, he’d have to start from within the simulation to scout things out first!
“And could the Luotian Immortal Transformation Art be what Qingyunzi has been searching for all along?”
“As for cultivation after the Immortal realm… that’s finally settled!”
Su Xing summarized everything and confirmed he hadn’t missed anything, then turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【After leaving the Luotian instance, you returned to Earth.】
【Over the following month, you implemented the spirit rice plan and confirmed there was no danger.】
【To ensure continued surveillance of the Advent Cult, you joined the Advent Cult under Luo Shuying’s guidance…】
【After joining the Advent Cult, you began attempting to cultivate the Luotian Immortal Transformation Art…】
【The Luotian Immortal Transformation Art was all-encompassing and could seamlessly integrate with the Myriad Wood Art and Myriad Blazing Flame Art you already practiced…】
【Each day within the Advent Cult, aside from cultivation, you observed the cult’s movements.】
【Seven years passed in this manner…】
【In the seventh year, you became the leader of the Transhuman Faction.】
【During these years, you secretly dealt with numerous assassins who had been plotting to kill Jin Congxue…】
【In the eighth year, you killed Old Dog Dragon, eliminating a lingering threat.】
【In the tenth year, you achieved entry-level mastery of the Luotian Immortal Transformation Art and began contemplating leaving Earth.】
【Because at this point, your cultivation had risen to the Immortal realm. If you encountered Blood Three, he would certainly detect something amiss… and then your life would be in extreme danger!】
In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly at this and murmured:
“Right… with Immortal-realm cultivation, Blood Three would definitely investigate me. Once he learns my age, I’d be in serious trouble!”
Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief at the close call. In reality, he hadn’t considered this problem.
Fortunately, his simulated self had thought of it.
“It seems… I’ll need to leave Earth ahead of schedule!”
“If I stay on Earth in the future… I definitely can’t join the Advent Cult, and at the very least, I won’t be able to kill Old Dog Dragon!”
Su Xing furrowed his brow. He had joined the Advent Cult to better monitor them and prevent any unexpected developments.
But now that his cultivation had reached the Immortal realm, it would be extremely difficult to evade Blood Three’s scrutiny.
“Sigh, it seems I have no choice but to temporarily abandon the spirit field grotto-heaven and the Spirit Vein Dragon, and head to the Three Thousand Worlds to cultivate!”
Su Xing sighed helplessly.
Currently, his mastery of the spatial Dao was only at the Dao Embryonic Form stage, not yet having reached the Initial Glimpse level.
If his mastery of the spatial Dao reached Initial Glimpse, Su Xing was confident he could bring the entire spirit field grotto-heaven with him to the Three Thousand Worlds…
That would give him a much higher starting point and spare him the trouble of finding a new dwelling…
“But staying on Earth serves no purpose anymore… so let’s go explore the Three Thousand Worlds!”
Su Xing murmured.
What he wanted to know now were the spatial coordinates of the Beast Spirit World and the Verdant Wood World.
There might still be remnants of the Luotian Sect’s legacy there… and the kind Su Xing could directly obtain!
With this in mind, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【You stored all the wealth you had accumulated on Earth into Perfected One Myriad Wood’s storage artifact — enough to ensure a hundred years of worry-free cultivation…】
【Then you made a trip to the Beast Taming World, killing the Legendary and Emperor-level demon beasts within before leaving Earth.】
【Upon reaching the end of the Slaughter Battlefield, you encountered the Slaughter Apostle…】
【With your cultivation, the Slaughter Apostle was naturally no match for you. Even with the power Red Moon granted it, you slew it with ease.】
【You entered the dimensional rift… You passed through the dark passage and arrived at the northern reaches of the Hundred Thousand Mountains!】
【The first thing you did upon arriving in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm was head to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion.】
In the real world, Su Xing silently said, “Use immersive…”
【Ding…】
His vision shifted, and Su Xing appeared inside the Celestial Secrets Pavilion.
“Fellow Daoist, are you here to buy or sell intelligence?” A young woman’s voice reached his ears.
Su Xing sold information related to Red Moon, Qingyunzi, and the Advent Cult.
A grave expression appeared on the young woman’s face. “Fellow Daoist, the intelligence you’ve provided involves matters of great significance… I cannot verify its authenticity at this time.”
“I’ll pay you a partial deposit first… Would you be willing to return in twenty years to collect the remaining balance?”
Su Xing nodded slightly. He naturally agreed.
After a pause, Su Xing asked:
“Do you have the world coordinates for the Beast Spirit World and the Verdant Wood World available for sale?”
Hearing Su Xing’s words, a flicker of surprise crossed the young woman’s eyes, but she nodded.
“Of course. The Verdant Wood World is dozens of lesser chiliocosms away from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm…”
“As for the Beast Spirit World, it was invaded by alien races tens of thousands of years ago… Are you certain you still want this intelligence?”
Su Xing nodded. “Yes!”
The young woman handed over two jade slips, and Su Xing probed them with his divine sense.
…
The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
Recalling the two pieces of intelligence in his mind, Su Xing felt a headache coming on.
“The Verdant Wood World is too far away… Without reaching a certain level of cultivation, I can’t get there…”
“As for the Beast Spirit World, the intelligence says it was destroyed along with the Luotian Realm?”
“That doesn’t seem right…”
Su Xing suddenly thought of something. He compared the spatial coordinates of the Beast Spirit World, then recalled the coordinate information for the instance worlds near Earth that were stored in his mind…
A moment later, a flash of recognition passed through Su Xing’s eyes.
“The location of the Beast Spirit World seems to highly overlap… with the current position of the Spirit Realm!”
