Chapter 289 – Journey to the Abyss, Supreme Treasure Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel! [8k]
After his cultivation realm advanced, Su Xing didn’t let it go to his head.
Glancing at the time, his trade with Lu Yuanwu was fast approaching.
So after disguising his appearance and concealing his aura, Su Xing headed to the agreed-upon location for the exchange.
One transaction, and another twenty thousand origin energy was in hand.
After the trade concluded, Su Xing returned to the spirit field grotto-heaven.
This week, Su Xing chose not to refine any puppets or pills.
Low-grade pills like Beauty-Preserving Pills and Fasting Pills were handled by the alchemy puppet.
The spirit plants in the spirit field were also tended by the spirit cultivation puppet.
And Su Xing’s thirty mining puppets provided a steady supply of exotic metal energy each week.
Having been busy for nearly two years, Su Xing suddenly felt like he had free time on his hands.
“Tsk tsk, truly stealing half a day’s leisure from a busy life…”
Su Xing leisurely strolled around campus, then returned to the spirit field grotto-heaven and began flipping through some ancient cultivation world texts he’d previously obtained.
All to broaden his knowledge and deepen his understanding of the cultivation world.
And so the sun rose and set, and a day passed.
By August 20th, Su Xing was so restless from idleness that a sudden idea struck him.
“Why not… go visit other countries and do some exploring?”
Su Xing rubbed his chin. In a previous simulation, he had visited the Endless Abyss dungeon, located in America.
Based on that experience, as long as he didn’t descend to the extreme depths of the Abyss, there was no risk for him.
“Then let me go scout out America…”
Su Xing estimated the distance. America was less than a hundred thousand li (50,000 km) from Great Xia.
At Su Xing’s sword flight speed, he could arrive in about two hours.
So Su Xing began disguising his appearance and concealing his aura, making his looks and equipment more closely resemble those of American Class Users. Then he took to sword flight and headed for America.
East of Great Xia, crossing several thousand li of ocean, one could see the Yellow Island Nation.
Continuing east, crossing roughly seventy to eighty thousand li (40,000 km) of ocean, Su Xing arrived in America.
Casually applying a formation to shield his presence and block detection from sight, Su Xing walked the streets of America as if no one else existed.
His divine sense spread out like a tide, quickly covering more than half of America’s territory.
The Class Users here were very different from those in Great Xia.
The dungeon types also leaned toward Western mythology—vampires, Western cowboys, demons, and the like.
Their power system bore some resemblance to foreign races’ divine sense.
There were strength-type Class Users who could transform into large green brutes, their power ceiling determined by rage, though ultimately limited.
There were also Class Users who could summon battle armor, though they too were far from omnipotent.
Su Xing spent two days roaming around America, encountering quite a few locally distinctive dungeon equipment and items.
For instance, a type of holy water capable of dealing massive damage to evil-type dungeon bosses…
But to Su Xing’s mild disappointment, aside from Abyss Stones, there were no special items here that contained large amounts of energy.
And Abyss Stones had seen significant price increases across the entire market due to Great Xia’s official procurement efforts some time ago.
Su Xing estimated it would take a while for Abyss Stone prices to settle back down.
“Tsk tsk… but overall, America has quite a large quantity of white and green-grade equipment. There are more low-rank Class Users here!”
“Perhaps I could station a few puppets here to trade some items and equipment, and I’ll come collect the proceeds periodically?”
Su Xing rubbed his chin. Although he currently wasn’t short on energy.
But once he reached Earthly Immortal or Heavenly Immortal realm, the energy obtainable within Great Xia’s borders in a single week might not be enough to satisfy his simulation needs.
Yet on Earth, Great Xia wasn’t the only nation!
The so-called Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains—while Great Xia was the most powerful nation, the other six kingdoms were no weaklings either.
Including the smaller nations and organizations in the twelve neutral territories, the total energy they could provide Su Xing might amount to several times what Great Xia offered!
“Hmm, but since I’m based in Great Xia after all… I should be careful when dealing with the trade associations over here!”
After some thought, Su Xing summoned the puppet Little Beauty from the spirit field grotto-heaven.
Several months had passed, and Little Beauty now possessed peak Golden Core strength.
Cultivating daily within the grotto-heaven, sustained by a constant supply of pills—Su Xing had even lavishly used some low-grade spirit liquid to aid her cultivation.
Combined with the effects of the seventh-order micro spirit-gathering formation, which granted her a cultivation speed surpassing that of a Heavenly Spirit Root.
Only then did Little Beauty the puppet cultivator achieve a cultivation speed rivaling that of core disciples from sects of the Greater World.
“Hmm, compared to other puppets, puppet cultivators have clearly developed rudimentary spiritual intelligence and can execute somewhat complex commands… As for strength…”
“Peak Golden Core is close to Heavenly King-stage power. Add a few life-saving talismans and high-grade magical treasures, and there shouldn’t be any threats to her in America…”
Su Xing murmured.
America had even fewer Heavenly King and Martial Sovereign-stage Class Users than Great Xia.
It was the lower-rank Class Users that were more numerous here.
“From now on, you’ll stay in America… I’ll give you some goods. Go liaise with the trade associations in America. Remember to be clever about it—you can establish a small trade association of your own and recruit a few American Class Users…”
“Oh, and remember to alter your appearance to look like an American Class User…”
Su Xing gave a few instructions, then produced several storage rings filled with goods—low-grade cultivation resources—and handed them to Little Beauty for sale.
The Advent Cult had minimal presence on the American side, so Su Xing wasn’t worried about being discovered.
The puppet cultivator Little Beauty nodded obediently and said, “Yes, Master…”
After some thought, Su Xing felt it still wasn’t safe enough.
So he activated the talent Gift of Roses and bestowed the green talent Lucky Streak and Business Elite upon Little Beauty.
Faintly, Su Xing sensed subtle changes in Little Beauty, and the karmic threads connecting them to each other multiplied.
With these two talents, Little Beauty shouldn’t find it too difficult to establish a trade association in America.
With all that done, Su Xing let Little Beauty act freely while he himself headed for the dungeon entrance to the Endless Abyss.
…
Passing through an underground cavern, Su Xing clearly felt waves of spatial fluctuations washing over him.
Su Xing smoothly entered the first floor of the Endless Abyss.
Upon entering the Endless Abyss, Su Xing surveyed his surroundings. The sky was blood-red with no light source whatsoever, and above seemed to be an invisible barrier.
The soil underfoot was also red, as if soaked through with blood.
To prevent accidents, Su Xing refrained from using his divine sense over a wide area, restricting it to a radius of ten li (5 km).
Within Su Xing’s perception, the first floor had quite a few Class Users—all American “warriors” battling abyssal demonic creatures.
The demonic creatures on the first floor—essentially foreign races—weren’t particularly strong, only Silver to Gold rank. But killing them had a certain probability of dropping Abyss Stones.
Along the way, Su Xing casually slaughtered a hundred-odd demonic creatures and obtained over a hundred Abyss Stones.
The Blessed by Fortune talent brought Su Xing’s drop rate to nearly one hundred percent.
A hundred of these low-grade Abyss Stones yielded roughly one million simulation energy for Su Xing—equivalent to one point of origin energy.
Su Xing didn’t linger on the first floor and proceeded to the second.
On the second floor, the number of Class Users was noticeably fewer, but the quantity of demonic creatures hadn’t decreased.
Su Xing casually killed another hundred-odd creatures, collected a hundred Abyss Stones, and tried converting them to origin energy.
“Hm? The Abyss Stones from the second floor… seem to be of slightly higher quality!”
Su Xing raised an eyebrow. A hundred Abyss Stones from the second floor provided him with two points of origin energy.
Su Xing’s interest was piqued, so he continued downward.
Third floor—a hundred Abyss Stones provided five points of origin energy…
Fifth floor—a hundred Abyss Stones provided ten points of origin energy.
Tenth floor—a hundred Abyss Stones provided thirty points of origin energy.
Twentieth floor—a hundred Abyss Stones provided a hundred points of origin energy!
Around the twentieth floor, the weakest demonic creatures that appeared were at least Grandmaster-stage.
Most were around Heavenly King or Martial Sovereign-stage, and in great numbers!
Su Xing even spotted demonic foreign races approaching Legendary-stage!
At this depth, Class Users were extremely rare. Only the absolute elite Heavenly King-stage Class User squads could manage to clear this floor, and even then only after very long intervals.
“This floor… the rate of obtaining Abyss Stones isn’t bad at all!”
Su Xing murmured.
The Abyss’s twentieth floor, while not as vast as the first floor, still covered a considerable area.
The only issue was that each demonic creature was spaced far apart, and Su Xing needed to spend a bit of time finding them.
In roughly two hours, Su Xing could slay over a hundred abyssal demonic creatures, collect a hundred Abyss Stones, and earn a hundred points of origin energy.
That was equivalent to one hundred million simulation energy!
“On this floor, there are roughly several thousand demonic creatures… and they seem to continuously respawn at regular intervals, maintaining a roughly constant total number?”
Su Xing’s interest deepened.
And so for the next three days, he spent his time “grinding mobs” on the Endless Abyss’s twentieth floor!
In three days, Su Xing netted close to five thousand points of origin energy!
For Su Xing, this was quite a nice bit of side income…
“Tsk tsk… I should come here more often when I have time, or go to even deeper floors to farm monsters…”
Su Xing murmured.
In a previous simulation, he had explored the hundredth floor of the Endless Abyss.
The demonic creatures there possessed Saint-stage power!
However, they were far too few in number… The efficiency of farming Abyss Stones there might actually be worse than on floors twenty to thirty.
“Hmm, let me finish this last wave, then head back…”
Su Xing murmured, then manipulated his sword energy.
A single streak of sword light could pierce through several demonic creatures spread across ten li (5 km). Su Xing only needed to pick up the Abyss Stones afterward.
…
After Su Xing left the Endless Abyss, a squad of blond-haired, blue-eyed Class Users entered the twentieth floor of the Endless Abyss.
This was a standard Heavenly King-stage squad!
A team of five, composed of a priest, warrior, mage, and others, working in coordination.
They were also among the top three Class User squads in all of America…
“Kyle! Kyle! Everyone be careful… on the Abyss’s twentieth floor, there’ll be large numbers of Heavenly King-stage demonic creatures!”
The captain of this blond squad called out in English.
“Shit! Why did we have to come to the twentieth floor… Weren’t we safe enough around the fifteenth?” complained a woman with wavy hair.
“There’s an old saying in Great Xia—fortune favors the bold… Right now, Great Xia is buying up massive quantities of Abyss Stones from us in America, and high-quality Abyss Stone prices have skyrocketed!”
“Once we finish this run, we’ll be able to upgrade our gear and prepare for advancement to Martial Sovereign!”
A black Class User said.
“Everyone stay alert… Stick together and explore carefully…”
This Class User squad cautiously explored for half a day without finding a single trace of any demonic creature.
“Strange… Where are the demonic creatures on this floor? Could other Class Users have cleared them all out?!”
“Idiot! How could that be possible? This floor has hundreds of demonic creatures… Forget about Class User squads—even Ares, the strongest in America, an Emperor-level Class User, couldn’t do that!”
“Damn it! Something must have gone wrong here! Retreat immediately… We need to report this!”
The Class User squad fled in a panic toward the upper floors.
…
Su Xing knew nothing of this little episode. He traveled by sword flight back to Great Xia.
Over the next two days, Su Xing didn’t idle either.
After crafting some talismans, Su Xing entered the Age of Immortals and Martial Arts dungeon, extracted the raw exotic metal ore, and headed to the Villa.
Jin Congxue wasn’t home this week—she was presumably off handling Tarot Society business.
Su Xing simply left the pills and raw exotic metal ore, then collected the Tarot Society’s new weekly output.
Just like that, another twenty-six thousand points of origin energy were added.
…
Back in the spirit field grotto-heaven, Su Xing checked his remaining origin energy.
146,332 points!
“Not bad… This should be enough origin energy to extract a quasi-supreme post-celestial spatial treasure, right?”
Su Xing’s heart burned with excitement.
Just thinking about being able to pilot a spirit treasure to his target world—it was hard not to be thrilled.
New Era, August 26th, 2025. Su Xing initiated a new round of simulation.
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #101 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 146,332 points… Remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 point of origin energy. Draw?】
“Yes!” Su Xing intoned silently.
【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the purple talent Super Scent. Probability of drawing a gold talent in the next simulation: 70%…】
【Super Scent】: Purple talent. Your sense of smell far surpasses that of ordinary people. You can identify enemies’ locations through scent, and can also use your sense of smell for tracking and analyzing the composition of substances…
“Hm? This talent…”
Su Xing rubbed his chin. A decent enough purple talent.
Unfortunately, it came a bit too late. Su Xing’s divine sense was already more than sufficient, and he had mastered tracking techniques—Super Scent was somewhat redundant.
“Oh well, let’s formally begin the simulation!”
Su Xing’s thoughts stirred as his gaze turned to the simulation panel.
【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you realize you are in a simulation.】
【You take out the materials you previously obtained, intending to refine more puppets.】
【This time, your goal is to expand the Celestial Secrets Pavilion’s roster tenfold! Craft a full hundred puppets and dispatch them to nations across Earth for trade.】
【This way, you can earn even more simulation energy.】
【The creation of puppets depends not only on the puppet master’s strength, but the materials themselves are equally important.】
【However, you don’t have many materials on hand that are sufficient for refining high-tier puppets.】
【Using fourth-order exotic metal ore, the highest you can produce are puppets comparable to the Heavenly King-stage.】
【You first made a trip to the Luo Tian dungeon and learned several combat puppet blueprints…】
【Over the following year, aside from daily cultivation, you spent your time refining combat-type puppets.】
【Because trading in other countries inevitably carries certain dangers, the combat power of puppets becomes especially important.】
【In the second year, you spent an entire year successfully crafting fifty battle puppets comparable to the Nascent Soul stage.】
【You charged them with energy, equipped them with sufficient talismans for self-defense, organized them into squads of five, and loaded them with enough Beauty-Preserving Pills, Longevity Pills, low-tier talismans, medicinal pills, and equipment rivaling Legendary-stage weapons…】
【Soon, another year passed.】
【In the third year, you attempted to retrieve the goods these puppets had obtained through trade.】
【You discovered that of the fifty puppets, the attrition rate exceeded thirty percent… nearly twenty puppets had been destroyed in combat.】
【But even so, you had acquired sufficient goods…】
【Over the course of one year, these puppets brought you hundreds of thousands of tons of various grades of exotic metal, countless white-tier equipment and dungeon items, and millions of Abyss Stones.】
【You couldn’t estimate the precise value of these goods, but it was surely no less than several hundred thousand origin energy!】
【This opened your eyes to the blue ocean of international trade! The Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains were all vital sources of energy for you…】
【But you also identified a problem — the puppets weren’t strong enough and were too easily destroyed.】
【So you traveled to the Spirit Clan ancestral grounds and retrieved the Luo Tian legacy stored within.】
【The puppets among the legacy treasures ranged from Spirit Transformation to Tribulation Crossing stage, with everything in between, and were capable of executing complex commands.】
【Their strength was absolutely sufficient… but what gave you a headache was that most of these puppets were damaged, and you would need to spend some time repairing them.】
In the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this.
“Indeed, on Earth, materials for refining puppets are limited… most of them only come from those few ruins!”
“If I can obtain puppets and other legacies from the Spirit Clan ancestral grounds, even if they need repairs, it would be far faster than crafting them from scratch!”
Su Xing rubbed his chin.
This week’s trip to America had made Su Xing realize he needed to accelerate the establishment of energy acquisition channels in other countries to ensure future development.
“My next meeting with Luo Shuying should be around the eighth… I can go discuss it then!”
Su Xing murmured.
He hadn’t seen Luo Shuying in several months.
But according to their previous arrangement, she would go to their agreed-upon meeting point on the eighth of every month and wait for half a day.
If Su Xing didn’t show up, she would simply leave.
“Mm, I should head to the Spirit Clan ancestral grounds as soon as possible…”
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
【Repairing the Spirit Clan puppets wasn’t difficult. Between cultivation sessions, you spent several months fully restoring all the puppets.】
【You continued organizing them into five-member puppet squads — larger groups would be too conspicuous and easily attract attention.】
【For the next period of time, you remained on Earth, cultivating in peace.】
【In the long course of cultivation, fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye…】
【Simulation Year Seventeen: your cultivation reached the peak of Human Immortal Realm, Fourth Layer.】
【Following that, you began accumulating a deeper foundation in preparation for breaking through to Human Immortal Realm, Fifth Layer!】
【Simulation Year Twenty: you successfully broke through.】
【Congratulations on becoming a Human Immortal Realm, Fifth Layer cultivator!】
【That same year, you traveled to the Beast Taming World…】
【Over these twenty years, you had also been monitoring the trade activities of your puppets across various countries.】
【You discovered that in orderly nations like America and the Yellow Island Nation, the probability of puppet damage was lower, but you needed to watch out for possible investigations by the Advent Cult.】
【Fortunately, you had Luo Shuying as an inside agent. She informed you that the Advent Cult was already investigating the mastermind behind the puppets, but hadn’t made any rash moves.】
【Luo Shuying proactively volunteered to become the head investigator of the puppet organization “Celestial Secrets Pavilion,” so naturally the Advent Cult made zero progress.】
【As for the Twelve Domains, they were relatively chaotic — composed of various small nations and organizations, filled with Class User guilds, blood and violence, and areas beyond the reach of law.】
【While there were certain risks for puppets operating there, they could actually acquire more precious resources from the black markets, including high-tier Abyss Stones, large quantities of exotic metal, and more…】
Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this.
“The Twelve Domains, huh… truly a chaotic place!”
Su Xing murmured.
In a world of extraordinary beings, even with modern technology, it was still filled with violence, killing, and bloody crime.
These Class Users often possessed formidable strength, yet were similar in nature to “rogue cultivators” — expelled by the Seven Kingdoms and concentrated in the Twelve Domains.
In terms of mid-tier Class User numbers alone, from Master-stage to Heavenly King-stage, the Twelve Domains had even more than all Seven Kingdoms combined!
And before the apocalypse, these Class Users had also been forcibly conscripted to Demon-Sealing Pass to jointly resist the foreign races, contributing some of their strength.
“When I have time, I should personally visit the Twelve Domains…”
Su Xing murmured. He had never been to these chaotic regions before, but had heard plenty of rumors about them.
For instance, certain Martial Sovereign-stage or even Legendary-rank Class Users had committed heinous crimes and hidden themselves in the chaotic Twelve Domains, building their own commercial empires…
After pondering for a moment, Su Xing turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
【Cultivation knows no years, and another eight years slipped by…】
【Year Twenty-Eight: the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint descended, and you employed stalling tactics…】
【Year Thirty-Three: the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint retreated, but you had no intention of staying on Earth. Instead, you prepared to journey to the Three Thousand Worlds!】
【Passing through the dimensional rift, you arrived at the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【The first thing you did was head for White Emperor City.】
【At the Celestial Secrets Pavilion in White Emperor City, you sold the intelligence you had previously gathered.】
【Afterward, you boarded an airship bound for Lesser Azure Cloud City…】
【You contacted True Immortal Danfire and revealed your identity.】
【True Immortal Danfire showed you great respect and informed you that he would be traveling to the Azure Cloud Realm in four years.】
【Hearing this, you naturally agreed, and settled down to cultivate in Lesser Azure Cloud City.】
【Though you knew that going to the Azure Cloud Sect would inevitably lead Qingyunzi to find you ahead of time, the only location you could think of for refining the supreme post-celestial treasure was within the Azure Cloud Sect.】
【You stayed in Lesser Azure Cloud City, cultivating peacefully.】
【Year Thirty-Five: your cultivation broke through to the mid-stage of Human Immortal Realm, Fifth Layer…】
【Year Thirty-Seven: you and True Immortal Danfire traveled to the Azure Cloud Realm.】
【Upon arriving at the Azure Cloud Sect, you were awed by the grandeur of its mountain gates.】
【You were given a cave dwelling of your own, at the grotto-heaven level.】
【Several senior martial brothers and sisters gifted you numerous treasures.】
【You obtained Fairy Ziling’s contact information and, through selling Spirit-Gathering Flowers, earned a massive amount of sect contribution points — ten million in total.】
【With these sect contribution points, you began purchasing various materials needed for refinement within the sect.】
【Just buying and searching for these precious materials alone took you thirteen years!】
【Year Fifty: your cultivation advanced to the late-stage of Human Immortal Realm, Fifth Layer.】
【That same year, you found a grandmaster artifact refiner within the sect — a Mystic Immortal realm Elder — and spent a million contribution points to have him forge a flying vessel capable of traversing worlds and crossing the void…】
【You specifically presented four Void Spirit Stones, hoping he could craft a dharma treasure at the half-step supreme post-celestial treasure level!】
【This refinement took a full three years…】
【Year Fifty-Three: one day above Artifact Refining Peak, a minor Thunder Tribulation gathered in the sky…】
【This was not a cultivator’s tribulation, but an artifact tribulation!】
【Only treasures at the supreme post-celestial treasure level or above could trigger an artifact tribulation.】
【Judging by the scale of this Thunder Tribulation, the Artifact Refining Peak Elder had successfully forged a half-step supreme post-celestial treasure!】
【You were overjoyed and rushed to Artifact Refining Peak.】
【Sure enough, inside the refining chamber, you beheld a divine flying vessel three zhang (9.99 m) in length, its entire body gleaming gold.】
【The vessel could change size at will — expanding to a hundred zhang (333 m) or shrinking to a single inch.】
【Compared to before, this flying vessel at the half-step supreme post-celestial treasure level was more exquisitely crafted, with a sturdier hull…】
【It also possessed the function you valued most: stable, medium-range traversal between lesser chiliocosms!】
【At the top-grade immortal treasure level, one could only cross between neighboring lesser chiliocosms and couldn’t undertake long voyages.】
【But at the half-step supreme post-celestial treasure level, even crossing three to five lesser chiliocosms in a single journey would keep the vessel intact and undamaged…】
【As for achieving true long-range traversal — crossing ten or even dozens of lesser chiliocosms at once — that would require a genuine supreme post-celestial treasure.】
【Even so, you were quite satisfied. With this flying vessel, you could now attempt independent world-hopping, vastly improving your options whether for escape or exploration of other worlds!】
【You named this flying vessel the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel — its appearance perfectly matched the name.】
【After obtaining this vessel, you did not use it, but carefully stowed it away.】
【Afterward, you contacted Fairy Ziling, hoping she would take you to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly at this.
“Indeed, I can’t use the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel this time… after all, if the hull gets damaged, what I’d bring out would be a broken vessel.”
“And with my level of artifact refining, I obviously can’t repair it…”
“Better to wait a bit. Once I bring out the intact vessel, even if it gets damaged during each simulation, I won’t feel bad about it…”
Su Xing understood the intricacies involved, so he was in no rush.
“As for which realm Fairy Ziling takes me to, it doesn’t matter… because with Qingyunzi’s strength, he’ll probably find me in no more than twenty or thirty years, right?”
Su Xing sighed, planning to push his cultivation as far as possible in the remaining time.
【After leaving the Azure Cloud Sect, you returned to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm to continue cultivating.】
【Soon, another seven years passed.】
【Year Sixty: your cultivation advanced to the peak of Human Immortal Realm, Fifth Layer.】
【That same year, you sold intelligence on Heavenly Immortal realm great demons…】
【You then ventured deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, carved out a cave dwelling, and entered seclusion for daily cultivation.】
【Year Sixty-Five: after thorough preparation, you successfully broke through to Human Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer!】
【Year Eighty: your cultivation advanced to mid-stage Human Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer.】
【Under the enhancement of Late Bloomer, your cultivation speed was astonishing…】
【But in your heart, you also harbored a vague worry — Qingyunzi could come knocking at any time, and you had to cultivate as fast as possible!】
【One day, you consumed a Spirit Awakening Pill, preparing to comprehend the Protective Sword Aura.】
In the real world, Su Xing’s heart stirred at this, and he silently thought:
“Activate immersive simulation…”
【Ding…】
Su Xing’s consciousness appeared inside the secluded cave dwelling.
Without wasting any time, Su Xing began cultivating the Protective Sword Aura.
Because of the Late Bloomer talent, using immersive simulation after the seventy-seventh year would yield double the results with half the effort!
…
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality.
Sensing the improvement in his Protective Sword Aura, Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
“Not bad. The total number of Protective Sword Aura strands has reached nineteen hundred, and the power has increased somewhat…”
“It seems that before comprehending the Great Dao of the Sword, the Protective Sword Aura will cap out at around two thousand strands…”
Su Xing planned to first push the Protective Sword Aura to its current limit before attempting to comprehend the Great Dao of the Sword.
His gaze turned to the simulation panel.
【After advancing your Protective Sword Aura further, you chose not to remain in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.】
【You didn’t know when Qingyunzi would return, so you decided to head to Celestial Demon City, hoping it might buy you some time.】
【That same year, you boarded an airship to Celestial Demon City, assumed the identity of a Myriarch within the city, shielded your karmic secrets, and hoped to delay the time before Qingyunzi found you.】
【And so, ten years passed.】
【Year Ninety: your cultivation advanced to the peak of Human Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer!】
【One day, your Blessed by Fortune talent sent a warning.】
【The next day, Qingyunzi appeared…】
【After negotiations between the Celestial Demon General avatar and Qingyunzi, you were handed over…】
【You tried every explanation with Qingyunzi, but he refused to believe you…】
【Your soul was searched…】
【You died!】
【Ding — this simulation has ended!】
After the simulation ended, Su Xing shook his head slightly.
“What a shame. My cultivation only reached the late-stage of Human Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer…”
“Year Ninety of the simulation before Qingyunzi found me, huh?”
Su Xing murmured.
This timing was actually slightly later than he had expected.
It seemed the karmic secret shielding technique and the Xuanyuan Breath-Concealing Formation had played some role.
“Let’s see what rewards this simulation offers!”
Su Xing rubbed his hands together excitedly, eager to obtain that spatial treasure!
His gaze turned to the simulation reward list.
【Super Scent】: purple talent. Price: 1 origin energy.
【Human Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer cultivation】: Human Immortal cultivator, having reached the peak of Human Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer. Price: 20,000 origin energy.
【Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel】: A high-end flying vessel crafted by a grandmaster artifact refiner, capable of medium-range world traversal. Fully equipped with living facilities, with a sturdy hull that has reached the half-step supreme post-celestial treasure level. Price: 80,000 origin energy.
【Nascent Soul Realm Battle Puppets x50】: Price: 500 origin energy.
“A half-step supreme post-celestial treasure for 80,000 origin energy? That’s actually acceptable…”
Su Xing gritted his teeth and silently declared:
“I choose the Human Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer cultivation and the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel!”
【You have successfully extracted Human Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer cultivation. Cost: 20,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 126,299 points…】
【You have successfully extracted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel. Cost: 80,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 46,299 points…】
