Chapter 293 – Gold Talent Innate Severed Meridians, Sweeping the Advent Cult Branch!
by spirapiraChapter 293: Gold Talent Innate Severed Meridians, Sweeping the Advent Cult Branch!
【One day later, Qingyunzi found you.】
【Qingyunzi had already become somewhat unhinged, and without a word, attempted to soul search you.】
【You hurriedly explained that you had infiltrated the Luo Tian dungeon and brought back a supreme secret art called the Ruyi Visualization Method!】
【You wrapped the visualization diagram in your mind with divine sense and transmitted the Ruyi Visualization Diagram to Qingyunzi, greatly damaging your divine sense in the process.】
【After receiving the visualization diagram, Qingyunzi fell into a long, heavy silence.】
【In the end, he let out a long howl toward the heavens, already somewhat delirious! As if possessed by madness!】
【Qingyunzi had schemed his entire life, reversing the Three Corpses in pursuit of the holy path of sainthood, only to discover that the road ahead was blocked…】
【After his Daoheart was damaged, black qi rose from Qingyunzi’s body — he had completely fallen to demonic corruption!】
【Seeing this, you immediately sensed danger and prepared to flee, but Qingyunzi seized you with one hand!】
【You died!】
【Ding, this simulation has ended!】
After the simulation ended, Su Xing’s expression was rather grave.
“As expected… given Qingyunzi’s current cultivation state, wanting him to re-cultivate the Ruyi Visualization Diagram is clearly unrealistic…”
“And without the Ruyi Visualization Diagram, the flaws of One Qi Transforms into Three Purities will inevitably remain unresolved… With the path ahead severed by his own hand, it would be strange if he didn’t go mad!”
Su Xing found himself somewhat understanding Qingyunzi now.
Having cultivated for hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of years, painstakingly plotting the path to sainthood, only to fail at the final step…
Such a fate — no one could bear it!
“Sigh, it seems the route of befriending Qingyunzi is temporarily impassable!”
“The method to extend the simulation should still be to travel to more distant lesser chiliocosms, which would let me escape Qingyunzi’s pursuit!”
The Three Thousand Worlds were so vast and boundless that Su Xing believed even if Qingyunzi were a Grand Luo Golden Immortal or half-saint, he certainly couldn’t reach every corner!
What Su Xing needed to do was flee to a world far enough away to simulate longer!
Before that, Su Xing needed more powerful Qi Refinement cultivation and higher-level comprehension of the Great Dao of Space!
“Soon! This simulation brought the Great Dao of Space to Perfection… and the twin fires of yin and yang have been located!”
“The distance to reaching the Earthly Immortal realm… is no longer far!”
Su Xing took a deep breath and turned his gaze toward the rewards from this simulation.
【A Thousand Cups, Never Drunk】: Purple talent, priced at 1 origin energy point.
【Great Shaman Body Forging Scripture, Second Layer (Introductory)】: Introductory mastery of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art’s second layer, possessing three units of the power of mountains and rivers. The primordial energy flower within the body blooms, primordial energy flows endlessly. Pure physical strength alone can battle early-stage Earthly Immortal realm cultivators! Priced at 30,000 origin energy.
【Earth Origin Pills x10】: Eleventh-order pills that can stimulate the primordial qi within the body, triggering the birth and growth of the primordial energy flower. An ancient pill used by the Wu Clan for body tempering. Priced at 10,000 origin energy.
【Spatial Grand Dao Comprehension (Glimpsing the Threshold)】: Comprehension of the Great Dao of Space has reached the second stage — Glimpsing the Threshold. Mastery over spatial power is greatly enhanced, enabling long-distance teleportation, with spatial offensive capabilities dramatically improved. Priced at 100,000 origin energy.
Su Xing glanced at the prices of the simulation rewards, and his heart immediately tightened.
“The Great Shaman Body Forging Art second layer (Introductory) cultivation costs 30,000 origin energy?”
“Doesn’t that mean after the Earthly Immortal realm, each layer of cultivation advancement costs three times the origin energy!”
Su Xing took a deep breath, his expression turning somewhat grim.
Calculated this way, the energy he earned each week was looking rather insufficient…
“As for this Spatial Grand Dao Comprehension, merely Glimpsing the Threshold already demands such an outrageous price?”
“Sigh, the origin energy I currently have on hand seems rather inadequate…”
Su Xing let out a sigh. All told, he had just over 110,000 origin energy.
Wanting to extract both the Spatial Grand Dao Comprehension and the Great Shaman Body Forging Art cultivation — it wasn’t quite enough.
“But after trading with Lu Yuanwu, I should have just enough to claim the rewards…”
“As for energy after that, I need to think of a solution quickly!”
Su Xing didn’t hesitate. He first disguised his appearance and concealed his aura, then went to trade with Lu Yuanwu.
Moments later, the trade was complete, and Su Xing flew by sword to the Age of Immortals and Martial Arts dungeon.
After replenishing the spirit stone energy for the thirty mining puppets, Su Xing entered the spirit field grotto-heaven.
“I choose to bring out the Great Shaman Body Forging Art second layer cultivation and the Spatial Grand Dao Comprehension!”
Su Xing silently declared, and the simulator’s notification chimed in his ears.
【You have successfully brought out Great Shaman Body Forging Art Second Layer (Introductory) cultivation, spending 30,000 origin energy points. Remaining origin energy: 100,502 points…】
【You have successfully brought out Spatial Grand Dao Comprehension, spending 100,000 origin energy points. Remaining origin energy: 502 points…】
As the notification faded, Su Xing’s heart bled.
Over a hundred thousand origin energy points, gone in the blink of an eye, leaving only five hundred…
“Sigh, Dao comprehension and cultivation are the biggest drains on energy!”
Su Xing sighed helplessly.
The next second, two streams of profound energy surged into Su Xing’s body.
First came the tremendous advancement in Body Tempering cultivation!
Su Xing’s physical strength and defensive power tripled in an instant!
From one unit of the power of mountains and rivers, it shot straight up to three!
But the even greater change was in the primordial energy within Su Xing’s body!
The former seed of primordial energy slowly cracked open and transformed into a blooming primordial energy flower…
Primordial energy now flowed endlessly, and even its quality had undergone a massive improvement!
Su Xing could sense that if he used primordial energy now, both his strength enhancement and defensive enhancement had grown enormously!
After advancing to an immortal body, his original primordial energy had only boosted his strength by less than fifty percent, far inferior to when he was in the Divine Power realm…
But now, primordial energy enhanced both his physical body and strength by over threefold!
Especially… the primordial energy divine ability Protective Sword Aura had also grown even more powerful!
Before Su Xing could even rejoice, a flood of insights about the Great Dao of Space surged through his mind.
Along with it, Su Xing’s understanding of the surrounding space grew far more thorough.
In just a few breaths, Su Xing felt that the space around him seemed… different somehow.
With a thought, Su Xing deployed spatial power…
If the previous Dao Embryonic Form meant each strand of spatial power was as thin as gossamer threads—
Now it was like a fine net, firmly enveloping all the surrounding space, entirely under Su Xing’s control!
Ten zhang (33.3 m)… fifty zhang (166.5 m)… a hundred zhang (333 m)!
One hundred and ten zhang (366.3 m)!
Su Xing could feel that the current limit of his Great Dao of Space was complete mastery over all space within a radius of one hundred and ten zhang (366.3 m)!
Within this area, Su Xing was the sole True God of spatial laws!
Unless… someone with a more profound mastery of the Great Dao of Space than Su Xing appeared within this space…
A range of one hundred and ten zhang (366.3 m) was more than enough to encompass the entire spirit field grotto-heaven!
This also meant that Su Xing could now truly carry the entire spirit field grotto-heaven with him, moving it according to his will, taking it with him when he left Earth!
Just like bringing out a storage artifact and the items within it!
But the difference was that the spirit field grotto-heaven could carry living beings!
This meant Su Xing could take the Spirit Vein Dragon, and even the family and friends he cared about, together off Earth and flee into the Three Thousand Worlds!
Su Xing took a deep breath, his eyes burning with excitement.
After two years of effort, he finally possessed the ability to protect his family and friends!
At the very least, those he cared about wouldn’t perish in that alien catastrophe decades from now…
“However, the spirit field space isn’t omnipotent either!”
“Ultimately, this amount of space can’t save everyone on Earth!”
Su Xing sighed. Earth was, after all, the land that had raised him. Unless absolutely necessary, he couldn’t bear to abandon it.
Moreover, Earth was connected to Luo Tian and concealed enormous secrets that Su Xing had yet to uncover, which meant he certainly couldn’t easily forsake it…
“But… the spirit field grotto-heaven still isn’t a perfect solution!”
Su Xing harbored another anxiety that had been lurking in his mind for a long time.
The spirit field grotto-heaven had, after all, been a gift from Qingyunzi.
As long as this grotto-heaven existed, could Qingyunzi sense Su Xing’s location?
But asking Su Xing to give up this grotto-heaven was truly not feasible!
If this were before, Su Xing would have had no solution to this problem.
But now, as Su Xing’s comprehension of the Great Dao of Space continued to deepen, he had vaguely touched upon a deeper layer of the spatial Dao!
That was — using supreme power to forcibly carve out a personal space that belonged entirely to himself, or merge a portion of the world’s space into an existing spatial blessed land!
Su Xing estimated that to accomplish this, his Great Dao of Space would need to reach at least the Minor Attainment stage…
And Su Xing was still a considerable distance from that level.
“The road ahead is long and arduous! The top priority is still to acquire more origin energy!”
Su Xing murmured.
This week, he planned to recall the Celestial Secrets Pavilion puppets he had dispatched across Great Xia.
Several months had passed, and those puppets had surely traded considerable goods, which would replenish Su Xing’s energy and bring in a large amount of origin energy.
And Su Xing’s plan to expand his “Celestial Secrets Pavilion” puppet organization to cover the entire world needed to be implemented soon.
Therefore, Su Xing planned to first repair the Spirit Transformation-stage puppets. Puppets at this level possessed strength comparable to Martial Sovereigns, sufficient to protect themselves within the Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains, establish footholds, and generate large amounts of origin energy for Su Xing.
Especially in the chaotic Twelve Domains — if Su Xing lowered his moral standards just a little… in a short time, it would be enough to bring in a massive amount of origin energy!
Su Xing was a man of action — once decided, he got straight to work.
In one week, he repaired three Spirit Transformation-stage puppets.
Together with the five puppets from before, Su Xing prepared for them a batch of fifth and sixth-order talismans, large quantities of Longevity Pills, and even ten thousand Primordial Martial Pills!
These goods were enough for the puppet organization to exchange for massive amounts of energy materials.
Of course, to ensure nothing went wrong, Su Xing also prepared sufficient spirit stones as their power source, along with quite a few seventh-order and above talismans to guarantee the puppets’ combat effectiveness!
After completing all of this, Su Xing flew eighty thousand li (40,000 km) by sword, arriving at Earth’s so-called “Chaotic Domain”!
The Twelve Domains region!
“So this is the Twelve Domains!”
Su Xing rode his sword at ten thousand zhang (33.3 km) above the ground, his divine sense spreading out like a tidal wave, instantly enveloping the entire Twelve Domains.
The Twelve Domains consisted of one large continent plus hundreds of peninsulas and small islands along the coast.
Its total area was no less than three times that of all of Great Xia!
It was called the Twelve Domains because twelve powerful Class Users commanded twelve different organizations and formed an alliance.
The Twelve Domains were relatively chaotic — here, strength was everything, superseding the laws established by the Seven Kingdoms human alliance.
Many rogue Class Users of Master-stage and above, even Martial Sovereign and Legendary-rank, would hide in the Twelve Domains, secretly building their own “empires” and enjoying endless resources and power…
Su Xing’s divine sense swept continuously through the Twelve Domains. After half a day, he had roughly ascertained the strength of the most powerful Class Users in the entire region.
“Hiss… the overall strength of the Twelve Domains is truly not to be underestimated!”
A flash of surprise crossed Su Xing’s eyes.
Within his perception, there were no fewer than six Legendary-rank Class Users lurking in the Twelve Domains!
Martial Sovereign-stage Class Users numbered in the dozens, and as for Heavenly King-stage and above, there were no fewer than a hundred!
Such strength was nearly equivalent to one-third to one-half of Great Xia’s top-tier forces!
As for those between Master and Grandmaster-stage, the number of Class Users was actually several times that of Great Xia!
These Class Users came from all corners of the world — rogue practitioners from America, the Yellow Island Nation, and even fugitive Class Users from Great Xia itself, all hiding here.
Over a thousand years, the Twelve Domains had proven impossible to eradicate, and so an unspoken rule gradually formed.
These chaotic evil or chaotic neutral aligned Class Users could operate within the Twelve Domains. As long as they didn’t venture into the seven great empires, the authorities simply turned a blind eye.
“The strongest are merely Legendary-rank Class Users. Spirit Transformation-stage puppets armed with seventh-order talismans should be able to carve out their own territory in the Twelve Domains!”
Su Xing murmured, then cast an invisibility formation on himself and descended into one of the cities in the Twelve Domains.
Clad in black robes, Su Xing moved as if through an empty land, observing the city.
On every street and alley, quarrels and brawls filled the air.
In just ten minutes, Su Xing witnessed no fewer than six thefts, three robberies, and even one murder!
And the perpetrators of these violent incidents were all Class Users!
From Bronze rank and Silver rank at the bottom, all the way up to Heavenly King-stage Class Users — it was all the same.
Su Xing passed through a chaotic marketplace and arrived at a black market.
This black market operated without laws or principles — buyers and sellers breaking into open combat on the spot was a common sight.
If you were strong enough, you could even force trades with impunity!
Of course, even within the Twelve Domains, there existed a wafer-thin semblance of good faith…
If you frequently robbed people, forced trades, or bought goods without paying, you’d quickly end up on a blacklist, scorned by both buyers and sellers, your reputation ruined.
In severe cases, even those Legendary and Martial Sovereign-level “Twelve Domains Emperors” would step in to intervene!
Su Xing wandered the Twelve Domains for an hour before leaving, thoroughly satisfied.
In a deserted corner, Su Xing released the three Spirit Transformation-stage puppets and five Nascent Soul-stage puppets.
Then, Su Xing issued them their orders.
“From here on, you are free to act independently across the Twelve Domains…”
“Remember, you are to conduct lawful trade, with integrity as your foundation!”
“Of course, if you encounter anyone trying to force a deal on you… beat the hell out of them and take all their money!”
So Su Xing commanded.
His creed was simple:
If no one offends me, I offend no one. If someone offends me, annihilate them outright!
These words could not have been more fitting for the Twelve Domains.
Were it not for the concern that too great a disturbance might alert the Advent Cult, Su Xing could have simply assassinated one of the Twelve Domains’ most wicked emperors and had a puppet take over — which would surely have brought in even greater wealth and energy in a short time!
“These goods should be enough to sustain your trading for the next six months…”
“Remember, what I need is exotic metal and Abyss Stones, along with various low-rank dungeon items and equipment!”
“Exchange everything for those materials!”
Su Xing ordered.
These puppets possessed considerable intelligence and could execute fairly complex commands — simple trading was well within their capabilities.
“Yes, Master!”
The eight puppets cupped their fists in acknowledgment, each carrying their cargo before vanishing into the nearby cities.
Su Xing nodded slightly at the sight.
Today he had planted the seeds. When the time came, he need only harvest the fruit!
…
Time quickly arrived at September 16th. After disguising his appearance and concealing his aura, Su Xing went to meet Jin Congxue for their trade.
This past week, Su Xing had recalled the puppets scattered across Great Xia, and they brought back wealth beyond even his expectations!
Over the course of several months, all the merchant puppets had brought Su Xing several thousand tons of fourth-order exotic metal, an incalculable amount of Second and Third Rank exotic metal, along with a considerable number of dungeon items and assorted equipment.
The total origin energy brought back was valued at one hundred and three thousand points!
At noon on September 16th, Su Xing headed to the villa district to meet with Jin Congxue.
Jin Congxue was wearing a black short skirt today. She sat across from Su Xing, and the two quickly got down to business.
“Here are this week’s goods… go ahead and check them over…”
Jin Congxue handed over a storage ring. Su Xing exchanged and absorbed its contents, gaining an additional twenty-seven thousand points of energy.
After the transaction was complete, Jin Congxue suddenly thought of something and said to Su Xing:
“Oh, by the way — something seems to have happened in America recently…”
America?
Su Xing was momentarily stunned, then furrowed his brow and asked:
“What happened over in America?”
Jin Congxue spoke with a grave expression:
“Apparently, a new Emperor-level powerhouse has appeared in America!”
“This powerhouse infiltrated the Endless Abyss and cleared out all the demonic creatures from floors twenty through thirty in just a few days…”
“This act drew enormous attention from America’s government. Several Heavenly King-stage Class Users have confirmed that America has indeed gained a new peak-level powerhouse!”
She paused, a hint of helplessness crossing her face.
“Because of this, American Class Users and the major merchant guilds have been rather arrogant in the Human Alliance recently… even overshadowing our Great Xia!”
Hearing Jin Congxue’s words, a peculiar expression appeared on Su Xing’s face.
An Emperor-level powerhouse… sweeping through floors twenty to thirty of the Abyss?
Wasn’t that what he had done just two weeks ago?
Su Xing was rather puzzled — since when had he become an American Class User?
Somewhat speechless, he roughly guessed what America was thinking.
It was just like a certain country in his previous life that was fond of claiming others’ achievements as their own to boost their international influence, wasn’t it?
With that thought, Su Xing gave a helpless chuckle and said to Jin Congxue:
“You don’t need to pay too much attention to this matter…”
After a pause, Su Xing added:
“That wasn’t an American Class User. It was a senior member of our organization!”
Hearing Su Xing’s words, Jin Congxue’s eyes lit up instantly. Then realization dawned on her, and her expression shifted to one of astonishment.
The organization possessed an Emperor-level powerhouse?
This was something Jin Congxue had never imagined!
She had known the organization was powerful, but she never expected… it could be this powerful!
…
After parting with Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the spirit field grotto-heaven.
Because he had recalled his puppets this week, the amount of origin energy he obtained was enormous.
Su Xing’s origin energy once again exceeded one hundred and thirty thousand points.
On September 16th of the New Era year 2025, Su Xing prepared to begin a new round of simulation.
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #104 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 131,236 points… Remaining simulation attempts: None.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 point of origin energy. Draw?】
“Yes!” Su Xing silently affirmed.
【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the gold talent Innate Severed Meridians. Probability of drawing a gold talent in the next simulation: 60%…】
【Innate Severed Meridians】: Gold talent. You are innately unable to enhance your cultivation through consuming pill-type resources, but under natural conditions, your cultivation advancement speed is doubled…
“Hm? This talent…”
Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly. This appeared to be a double-edged sword type of talent.
With this talent, Su Xing would be unable to use cultivation-boosting pills to enhance his training speed…
For example, Earth Origin Pills would be rendered useless…
But at the same time, the benefit was enormous!
His cultivation advancement speed would be directly doubled!
This meant that cultivation that would originally take twenty to thirty years could be achieved in just over ten!
“I just wonder — can this Innate Severed Meridians talent stack with the Late Bloomer talent?”
Su Xing was rather curious.
Before long, Su Xing thought of the application scenarios for this talent.
During Body Tempering, Su Xing needed to consume Earth Origin Pills, so bringing out this talent would do more harm than good…
But when advancing his Qi Refinement cultivation, Su Xing consumed spirit liquid, and he might be able to enjoy the doubled cultivation speed!
At this thought, Su Xing’s eyes lit up.
As cultivation realms grew higher, a single level in the Earthly Immortal realm could take two to three thousand years to advance.
Even for Su Xing, enormous amounts of time and resources were required for cultivation…
But with this talent, Su Xing’s cultivation speed could still remain extremely fast!
“Not bad… when the time is right, this talent can be brought out. It’s just not suitable for now…”
Su Xing’s mind raced through his plan for this simulation.
“I need to find the Yin-Yang Pill, and my comprehension of the Great Dao of the Sword needs further advancement too!”
Su Xing had progressed to the second layer of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, further deepening his mastery over primordial energy.
This also meant that the upper limit of Su Xing’s Protective Sword Aura had increased, and what he lacked now was simply deeper comprehension of the Sword Dao.
If he could enter the Dao through the sword and fully comprehend the Great Dao of the Sword, the power of his Protective Sword Aura would surely rise even further!
So Su Xing thought, his gaze turning to the simulation panel.
【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you realized that you were in a simulation.】
【Ten days later, you repaired several Spirit Transformation-stage puppets, then entered the Luo Tian dungeon…】
【After exiting the Luo Tian dungeon, you attempted to dispatch your puppets across the Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains to accumulate initial origin energy.】
【Afterward, you remained on Earth, picking up the Three Talents Sword Art to begin training.】
【Previously, when your origin of the sword had reached Perfection, you had realized that if the Three Talents Sword Art could merge its three swords into one, you would be able to enter the Dao through the sword and further enhance your strength.】
【To this end, you devoted yourself to training. In the blink of an eye, ten years passed…】
【In the tenth year, you further integrated the Three Talents Sword Art and seemed on the verge of achieving the merger of three swords into one, but you were always missing that final step.】
【That year, you traveled to the Beast Taming World and eliminated threats there.】
【By the fifteenth year, the puppet forces you had dispatched over the years had grown enormously, covering nearly the entirety of the Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains.】
【Within the Twelve Domains, a full seven imperial emperors had been replaced by “puppets,” each year bringing you a massive influx of resources.】
【You continued cultivating on Earth. In the blink of an eye, another thirteen years passed…】
【In the twenty-eighth year, the Double-Pupiled Demon Saint descended…】
【In the thirty-third year, you prepared to leave Earth.】
【But this time, you planned to bring your family and friends with you!】
【The spirit field grotto-heaven had limited capacity. You loaded all your family and close friends into the spirit field grotto-heaven, hoping they could live longer.】
【Several people, including Jin Congxue and Luo Shuying, all wished to travel to the Three Thousand Worlds.】
【All except… Lu Yuanwu.】
【In the end, Lu Yuanwu chose to stay on Earth and share the fate of the human race!】
【You admired Lu Yuanwu’s resolve, but to ensure that the spark of Earth’s human race would not be extinguished, you took a portion of the human population, settled them within the spirit field grotto-heaven, and departed for the Slaughter Battlefield.】
【Heading toward the direction of Red Moon, you quickly arrived at that spatial anomaly.】
【Wielding the power of space, you wrapped the entire spirit field grotto-heaven within it — including the humans inside, and even the Spirit Vein Dragon!】
【After a violent spatial distortion, you arrived at the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm…】
In the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath at this sight.
“Finally… after all this effort, I’ve managed to bring part of the human race away from Earth. That’s at least one small goal accomplished…”
Su Xing knew that there was still a long way to go before completely saving Earth, but partially saving them was already a decent outcome.
“So for this simulation, I need to reach the Yellow Sand Realm as quickly as possible… but before that, I have to track down the Yin-Yang Pill!”
Su Xing knew that the Yin-Yang Pill was exceedingly rare, but some Human Immortal Realm Peak cultivators might possess one.
Among them, Blood Ninety-Nine — Su Xing strongly suspected he had one.
So Su Xing set his sights on Blood Ninety-Nine.
“Blood Ninety-Nine should still be in that mountain valley… Perhaps I can take advantage of the chaos while selling intelligence, blend in with the rogue cultivators, and launch a surprise attack on those Advent Cult cadres?”
Su Xing stroked his chin, deep in thought.
The cultivation resources of Advent Cult cadres — a single one was worth two or three cultivators of the same realm.
If he could rob a few Advent Cult cadres, he would surely gain a wealth of resources…
Perhaps he could even gather enough resources to advance to the Earthly Immortal realm!
With this in mind, Su Xing hesitated no further and turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【After arriving at the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, you immediately settled the human population in White Emperor City.】
【Apart from a few close friends and family, you left the rest to fend for themselves. After all, you had done all this merely to have a clear conscience — having gone this far was already the utmost benevolence.】
【You went to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion in White Emperor City and immediately sold the majority of your intelligence.】
【This intelligence concerned either Qingyunzi, the Advent Cult, or Red Moon…】
【After leaking the intelligence about the Advent Cult’s bases, you paid particularly close attention to developments on that front!】
【In August of the same year, you lurked within White Emperor City and observed as the city began rallying rogue cultivators to launch raids on several Advent Cult bases.】
【Among them was the very base you had previously stayed at — the place where Blood Ninety-Nine resided!】
【With your current strength, even if you couldn’t defeat the higher-ranking Advent Cult cadres, there was no real threat to your life.】
【And so you planned to hide among the rogue cultivators, seize the opportunity to ambush the Advent Cult base, and ideally get your hands on Blood Ninety-Nine’s storage artifact to obtain the Yin-Yang Pill!】
【In January of the same year, your group — consisting of several hundred Tribulation Crossing-stage cultivators, dozens of Human Immortal realm cultivators, and even a few Earthly Immortal realm cultivators — launched the assault…】
【With your divine sense, you even detected Heavenly Immortal realm cultivators following in the shadows, ensuring the operation’s absolute success…】
【You spent several months lurking outside the mountain valley base. Eventually, the Earthly Immortal realm cultivators led the charge, storming the valley base!】
【This battle was nothing short of a massacre — a massacre carried out by the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm’s rogue cultivators against the Advent Cult!】
【Even though the Advent Cult’s valley housed several Earthly Immortal and Human Immortal realm cultivators standing guard, they never expected the human faction to suddenly attack, and naturally suffered catastrophic losses!】
【The Tribulation Crossing-stage and below cultivators in the valley who had been preparing for the blood seedling tournament were almost entirely slaughtered by the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm’s rogue cultivators…】
【It seemed the struggle between righteous and wicked was equally cruel?】
【You didn’t dwell on such things. Instead, you rushed toward the valley’s restricted area, hoping to find Blood Ninety-Nine’s location.】
【But by the time you arrived, the Advent Cult’s cadres had already fled.】
【Each of them deployed their techniques and supernatural arts, escaping at astonishing speed deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.】
【In demon cultivator territory, human cultivators dared not act recklessly. The Advent Cult intended to use this to reduce the threat of pursuit…】
【Indeed, under these circumstances, most rogue cultivators abandoned the chase.】
【But you were familiar with the interior of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and with Blood Ninety-Nine and several other Human Immortal Realm Peak cultivators right ahead of you, you naturally wanted to hunt them down and search for the Yin-Yang Pill…】
【With that conviction, you plunged into the Hundred Thousand Mountains like a tiger among sheep…】
