Chapter 308 – Opening a Minor World, Earthly Immortal Realm Perfection! [8k]

【And so, you hesitated no longer and launched your attack against this Heaven-tier spirit of the Primordial Void!】

【This Heaven-tier spirit of the Primordial Void seemed extraordinarily intelligent as well, sensing an enormous threat emanating from you…】

【Without a second word, it turned tail and fled, racing away at full speed, while you gave chase…】

【This pursuit lasted a full month!】

【This Heaven-tier spirit of the Primordial Void was the most troublesome one you had ever encountered…】

【Because you were in the Primordial Void Realm in your primordial spirit state, your strength was reduced to a mere fraction… Your greatest offensive technique was the divine sense combat art — the Ruyi Golden Cauldron technique!】

【As for this Heaven-tier spirit of the Primordial Void, it was naturally quite formidable as well. Not only was its soul powerful, but it also possessed a golden combat technique. Every time it struck your divine sense, it felt like sword radiance piercing your throat, making you deeply uncomfortable…】

【Even so, you continued battling it the entire way, fighting and pursuing simultaneously. The spirit intelligence of a spirit of the Primordial Void ultimately could not compare to that of a cultivator or immortal.】

【The Heaven-tier spirit of the Primordial Void, though powerful, had a soul strength of only approximately twenty thousand li (10,000 km) — merely at the entry level of the Six Senses Realm, still a notch below yours…】

【In the end, through sheer astonishing willpower, you slew this Heaven-tier spirit of the Primordial Void!】

【After slaying this Heaven-tier spirit of the Primordial Void, a beam of golden light surged into your soul…】

【In mere moments, your soul strength surged upward by a small margin, jumping from twenty-seven thousand li (13,500 km) directly to thirty thousand li (15,000 km)!】

【What delighted you even more was that you obtained a fragmentary divine sense combat technique!】

【This technique was called the Primordial Void Sword Art!】

【It involved condensing divine sense into a small golden sword, unmatched in offensive power, capable of easily inflicting severe damage to the divine sense of cultivators at the same realm!】

【You were wild with joy and immediately absorbed and comprehended it, but to your slight disappointment, this fragment contained only one-third of the complete text…】

【What you obtained was the middle volume, still lacking the upper and lower volumes. Only by collecting all of them could you obtain the complete Primordial Void Sword Art!】

In the Real World, Su Xing’s heart raced with excitement at the sight of this.

“The Primordial Void Sword Art… this is definitely an extremely powerful divine sense combat technique! It probably far surpasses the previous Ruyi Golden Cauldron technique! If I can master it, not only will it be formidable in the Primordial Void Realm, but it will also bring many benefits in the simulation!”

With a powerful divine sense combat technique, Su Xing could slay spirits of the Primordial Void more quickly and accumulate divine sense power faster.

Moreover, divine sense combat arts were extremely important for cultivators!

Su Xing had once heard that there was a category of cultivators who specialized in cultivating the soul. Their divine sense was immensely powerful, often more than double that of cultivators at the same realm!

By relying on divine sense combat arts, they could easily damage their opponents’ souls during battle.

Once a cultivator’s soul was damaged, their combat power would naturally plummet dramatically, giving one an enormous advantage in any subsequent confrontation!

In fact, when encountering cultivators who did not cultivate their souls at all, soul cultivators could directly annihilate the target’s soul, destroying both body and spirit, leaving them without even the chance of reincarnation!

Although Su Xing did not primarily cultivate his soul, having a soul cultivation technique gave him an extra layer of self-protection against soul cultivators.

At critical moments, it could serve as Su Xing’s trump card!

“It’s just a pity… this simulation probably won’t give me the chance to fully collect the Primordial Void Sword Art…”

Su Xing shook his head slightly. This simulation had progressed to its sixty-third year, and he was still on Earth. Perhaps Red Moon and the aliens had already noticed him.

Now, it was time to head for the Three Thousand Worlds as soon as possible!

“The only regret is that after heading to the Three Thousand Worlds, my divine sense growth won’t be nearly as rapid…”

“However… this time I delayed the aliens’ destruction of Earth… will the destruction of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm also be postponed?”

Su Xing pondered thoughtfully, then turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.

【With divine sense at thirty thousand li (15,000 km) and having comprehended the Primordial Void Sword Art, you left the Primordial Void Realm.】

【By now, it was already the sixty-third year of the simulation, and Demon-Sealing Pass still stood firm.】

【But you did not know when the aliens would launch a full-scale invasion. Once they did, even more terrifying beings would surely descend…】

【You expended lifespan to divine that within three years, a great calamity would befall Demon-Sealing Pass once more!】

【Even for you, remaining here would mean certain death. Moreover, the later you left, the greater the threat to your life…】

【And so, you chose to retreat while the tide was in your favor and leave Earth…】

【You brought your family and friends, along with some Class Users from Great Xia, and left Earth, passing through other worlds to reach the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm!】

【After arriving in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, you immediately went to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion to purchase intelligence on Celestial Demon City at the front lines of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】

【To your pleasant surprise, the cultivators of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm were still holding their ground as firmly as ever!】

【The alien invasion of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm had reached a stalemate. In Celestial Demon City, the Celestial Demon General’s external incarnation maintained its deterrence, preventing the aliens from launching a full-scale invasion…】

【On the battlefield, there was no news of red-eyed aliens either…】

【Learning this intelligence, you were delighted — the arrival of the red-eyed aliens had indeed been delayed!】

【Based on this progression, the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm could perhaps hold out until the two hundredth year of the simulation before being destroyed…】

【After making some rough calculations, you sold intelligence regarding Red Moon, the red-eyed aliens, the Advent Cult, and various other matters…】

【After earning a large sum of spirit stones, you settled your family and friends and joined the forces working to eradicate the Advent Cult.】

【Thus, two years passed…】

【In the sixty-fifth year, after participating in the eradication of the Advent Cult, you earned a considerable amount of spirit stones and spirit liquid…】

【That same year, you prepared to leave Earth and head for the Black Water Realm…】

【After over a month of void travel, you arrived in the Black Water Realm.】

【You retrieved a portion of the hidden treasures from the undersea cavern. That cultivator had not taken all the treasures with him — presumably after joining the Advent Cult, he feared that carrying such valuable treasures would attract covetous eyes, so he left them hidden here. This worked out in your favor…】

【You harvested several million drops of spirit liquid, left the Black Water Realm, and then proceeded to the Cangwu Realm…】

【In the sixty-sixth year, after arriving in the Cangwu Realm, you disguised yourself and concealed your aura, living there under a new identity.】

【Based on previous experience, you would be safe for at least a hundred years, so you planned to settle peacefully in the Cangwu Realm and cultivate until your cultivation reached Earthly Immortal realm Great Perfection before making any further moves…】

【Thus, another four years passed.】

【In the seventieth year, your cultivation successfully advanced to the eighth layer of the Earthly Immortal realm, late stage.】

【After arriving in the Cangwu Realm, because you purchased spirit liquid every year and had a continuous supply, your cultivation progressed somewhat faster.】

【However, the growth of your divine sense slowed considerably. The Cangwu Realm had many cultivators, and the spirits of the Primordial Void in the Primordial Void Realm had been largely cleared out — too many monks and too little porridge…】

【In five years, your divine sense grew by less than five hundred li (250 km)…】

【And so, you began devoting more of your attention to cultivating the Ruyi Visualization Method…】

【Thus, another ten years passed…】

【In the eightieth year, your divine sense grew to thirty-two thousand li (16,000 km)…】

【After cultivating the Ruyi Visualization Method, you felt that your divine sense growth was somewhat faster than roaming the Primordial Void Realm, especially with the enhancement of Late Bloomer. On average, you could grow your divine sense by approximately two hundred li (100 km) per year…】

【Though your divine sense progress was far slower than when you were on Earth, it was still growing nonetheless…】

【During these years, aside from your daily cultivation, you also began inquiring about news from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】

【You learned that several months ago, red-eyed aliens had begun appearing on the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm’s battlefield… but the cultivators of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm were formidable enough to still hold their ground.】

In the Real World, Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this and murmured:

“The eightieth year before the red-eyed aliens appear… This means the resistance on Earth really did make a difference, delaying Red Moon’s revival…”

“As for this simulation, Earth was probably destroyed around the sixty-fifth year…”

Su Xing rubbed his chin. This was undoubtedly good news for him.

“But going forward, the main focus should still be on cultivation — getting on the road to the Tianyuan Realm as quickly as possible!”

Su Xing thought to himself, then turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【In the ninetieth year, your cultivation advanced to Peak of the eighth layer of the Earthly Immortal realm, and you began attempting a breakthrough.】

【This breakthrough took you three years, after which your cultivation successfully advanced to the ninth layer of the Earthly Immortal realm!】

【That same year, your divine sense grew to thirty-four thousand li (17,000 km)…】

【You sold a considerable number of the immortal treasures you had previously refined and continued purchasing spirit liquid for cultivation…】

【In the one hundred and fifth year, your cultivation advanced to the mid-stage of the ninth layer of the Earthly Immortal realm.】

【In the one hundred and twentieth year, your cultivation advanced to the late stage of the ninth layer of the Earthly Immortal realm. That same year, your divine sense range increased to forty thousand li (20,000 km)!】

【After reaching the late stage of the Earthly Immortal realm, you decided to temporarily set aside cultivation and instead find a way to open your own spirit field grotto-heaven.】

【Most cultivators at the True Immortal realm and above possessed a portable blessed land of varying sizes, but the spirit field grotto-heaven you carried was a gift from Qingyunzi and harbored certain hidden dangers.】

【And so you went to the Gold Coin Trading Company, intending to purchase the materials needed to open a portable grotto-heaven…】

In the Real World, Su Xing nodded slightly at this and murmured:

“The spirit field grotto-heaven, strictly speaking, is just a portable grotto-heaven… It can be opened at the True Immortal realm, but the requirements for the Great Dao of Space are quite strict…”

“My current Great Dao of Space is at Initial Glimpse, which is sufficient to open a spirit field grotto-heaven, but my cultivation is somewhat lacking — I’ll need the help of certain materials!”

Su Xing recalled from memory that opening a portable grotto-heaven required three most precious materials:

Spatial Origin Stone, Void Spirit Stone, and Void Stone…

He already possessed the Void Spirit Stone and the Void Stone, having obtained them from the void itself — no purchase necessary.

But the Spatial Origin Stone was the foundation of a portable grotto-heaven, extracted from the very space within a world…

Mighty cultivators could sever space with their great power, causing an area of space to continuously collapse and compress…

The product of that collapse and compression was the Spatial Origin Stone!

Hundreds of zhang of space, once compressed, might yield a Spatial Origin Stone only the size of a fingernail — and the price was extraordinarily steep!

Easily tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones…

The Spatial Origin Stone opened up space, the Void Stone maintained the distance between the portable space and the void, and the Void Spirit Stone ensured the stability of the space — all three were indispensable.

“Spatial Origin Stones are quite expensive… but the more you invest in the initial Spatial Origin Stone, the higher the growth ceiling!”

Su Xing murmured. He wanted to purchase a sizable Spatial Origin Stone, open enough space to completely replace his current spirit field grotto-heaven, and thereby disrupt Qingyunzi’s ability to track it.

With this in mind, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【You went to the Gold Coin Trading Company, intending to purchase a Spatial Origin Stone.】

【After displaying your Body Tempering Heavenly Immortal realm cultivation, you were ushered into a VIP room. The person receiving you was Zi’er, the vice president of the Gold Coin Trading Company.】

【She informed you that Spatial Origin Stones were extremely expensive and rare. Currently, the Cangwu Realm branch of the Gold Coin Trading Company possessed only three Spatial Origin Stones.】

【The first Spatial Origin Stone was fingernail-sized. Zi’er informed you it was priced at 8.88 million high-grade spirit stones.】

【The second Spatial Origin Stone was half the size of a fist, priced at 99.99 million high-grade spirit stones.】

【The third Spatial Origin Stone was as large as a full fist, priced at 300 million high-grade spirit stones — and the buyer’s cultivation needed to have reached the True Immortal realm!】

【Though you had your heart set on purchasing the largest Spatial Origin Stone, both your cultivation and your wallet fell short, so you could only settle for the next best option and purchased the half-fist-sized Spatial Origin Stone!】

【You did not have over a hundred million spirit stones in cash on hand. You paid 30 million high-grade spirit stones, with the remainder covered by Spirit-Gathering Flowers and immortal treasures.】

【In the end, you purchased this Spatial Origin Stone.】

【Over the next ten years, you raised your cultivation to the Peak of the ninth layer of the Earthly Immortal realm…】

【In the one hundred and thirtieth year, you attempted to break through to Earthly Immortal realm Great Perfection.】

【But your first breakthrough attempt, unsurprisingly, ended in failure…】

【You sighed inwardly but decided to temporarily leave the Cangwu Realm and head somewhere more distant to evade Qingyunzi’s pursuit.】

【This time, you chose not to pass through the Spirit Beast Realm, instead opting to force your way through thirteen void nodes to reach the Tianyin Realm directly!】

【This was undoubtedly an enormous challenge for you.】

【Though it carried some risk, it was the result of your careful deliberation…】

【Opening a portable grotto-heaven required being in the void, taking anywhere from half a year to a year at the shortest, to several decades at the longest…】

【During this journey, you planned to first open your own spirit field grotto-heaven, then sever the spirit field grotto-heaven that Qingyunzi had bestowed upon you, thereby reducing the karmic ties between you…】

【Thus, several months passed.】

【Piloting the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel, you found yourself adrift in the void and located a region where the void turbulence was relatively stable.】

【You then exited the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel, raised your Protective Hardened Qi, and suspended yourself in the void with your physical body alone.】

【Having reached the third layer of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, your physical body alone could sustain prolonged stays in the void. You could survive there for half a year to a full year!】

【However, prolonged exposure to the void, cut off from spiritual energy, could cause your magical power to wane and your realm to decline.】

【What concerned you even more were the attacks from void turbulence…】

【Fortunately, your comprehension of the Great Dao of Space was quite deep, giving you sufficient confidence to remain in the void for more than half a year.】

【You selected a relatively safe region of the void, took out the Spatial Origin Stone, and crushed it!】

【In a mere instant, the crushed Spatial Origin Stone began expanding like a singularity, wildly compressing the surrounding space.】

【Streaks of gold and purple light appeared in the void, rippling outward like brilliant shooting stars…】

【The scenery was beautiful, but the process was long…】

【Soon, three months passed. Before you, an independent space appeared — like a half-plane, different from the void, an independent pocket dimension…】

【This space was roughly ten zhang (33.3 m) in radius, far smaller and less expansive than the spirit field grotto-heaven previously gifted by Qingyunzi.】

【But you were quite satisfied, because this dwelling would truly belong to you, free of any foreign imprints.】

【You carefully observed this dwelling, and just as you were thinking about how to store it away, you were surprised to discover a core within this space.】

【You approached this singularity-sized core and inscribed your own divine sense imprint upon it.】

【Immediately after, just like the spirit field grotto-heaven, this space could be carried on your person, and you could enter it at any time.】

【This undoubtedly left you very satisfied…】

【But this newly created space contained no immortal power or even soil…】

【Using the power of space, you transported an entire hilltop from the previous spirit field grotto-heaven and deposited it into the new space.】

【You then relocated the Spirit Vein Dragon, some spirit fields, and various rare herbs into it…】

【Gradually, spiritual energy began to emerge within this space…】

【This invigorated you, and so over the next ten years, you continuously expanded the new dwelling’s space, filling it with various necessities…】

【Even with your physical body, it was difficult to remain in the void for more than three years at a time. Whenever you felt you couldn’t hold on any longer, you would temporarily retreat into the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel to recover before continuing your work.】

【The Void Spirit Stones and Void Stones were also refined into it, continuously expanding the size of your new portable space…】

【Year one hundred and forty — a brand new portable blessed land appeared by your side!】

【This was a dwelling entirely created by you alone, inscribed with your own divine sense imprint!】

【This dwelling was merely fifty zhang (166.5 m) in radius, its space far inferior to the previous spirit field grotto-heaven, but you were extremely satisfied.】

【At the very least, the Spirit Vein Dragon could live peacefully within it, and various spirit plants could grow successfully…】

【The only imperfection was that the spiritual energy in this newly created space was temporarily still at the blessed land level, and would need some time before it could recover to a high-grade grotto-heaven…】

【But you were already very pleased, so you drew upon the power of space and completely detonated and destroyed the previous spirit field grotto-heaven…】

【The spirit field grotto-heaven bloomed like fireworks, bursting forth with brilliant colors in the void.】

【And with that, you felt a portion of the karmic ties between yourself and Qingyunzi being severed…】

【From this point on, your portable blessed land would belong entirely to you. You could freely develop it, expand its boundaries, and even craft an entire small world that was wholly your own!】

【Most crucially, with Qingyunzi losing the portable spirit field as a coordinate, his ability to track you would be greatly diminished…】

In the Real World, Su Xing’s expression grew somewhat excited as he read this.

“So that’s how a portable world is created… what a process!”

Su Xing felt he had truly broadened his horizons. Of course, the most important thing was that a portion of the karmic ties with Qingyunzi had been severed.

“I’ve heard that powerful cultivators can create worlds rivaling true lesser chiliocosms… teeming with life, with sunrise and sunset no different from an ordinary world!”

“Perhaps someday, my world could also reach such a scale — large enough to sustain an entire world’s population?”

Su Xing felt a flicker of excitement, but calmed himself and thought:

“However, extracting the new spirit field grotto-heaven will probably cost a considerable amount of energy. There’s no rush to extract it from this simulation — after all, Qingyunzi can’t threaten me in the real world for now…”

With that thought, Su Xing turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.

【After creating your new portable blessed land, you headed toward the Tianyin Realm.】

【Passing through several void nodes once more, you successfully arrived at the Tianyin Realm…】

【You stayed in the Tianyin Realm for a year to rest and recuperate. During this time, you constantly surveyed your surroundings, wanting to know whether Qingyunzi had followed you, but found no trace of him.】

【Year one hundred and forty-two — you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel and arrived at the Yinmu Realm.】

【You successfully obtained the Luotian legacy hidden within the Yinmu Realm, then remained in this world to cultivate, hoping to break through to a higher cultivation realm in one go!】

【Year one hundred and forty-five — one day, inspiration struck, and you sensed signs of a breakthrough in your realm.】

【So you prepared a million drops of high-grade spirit liquid and consumed them all like a vortex, preparing to push through to Earthly Immortal realm Great Perfection in one surge!】

【This sprint took another five years…】

【Just when you thought you were about to fail for the second time, the Spirit Vein Dragon exhaled a stream of pure spiritual energy.】

【You instantly felt your immortal power surge, your condition reaching its peak… and in one final push, you completed the breakthrough!】

【Congratulations — you have become an Earthly Immortal realm Great Perfection cultivator!】

【After breaking through to Earthly Immortal realm Great Perfection, you departed with great satisfaction, piloting the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel toward your next destination: the Dongsheng Realm.】

【Year one hundred and fifty-one — you arrived at the Dongsheng Realm, seeking the Luotian Sect legacy hidden there.】

【You cautiously entered a Secret Realm and retrieved the Luotian Sect legacy within.】

【Fortunately, Qingyunzi did not appear to have tracked you this time.】

【From the Secret Realm, you found partial transmissions of the Luotian Sect along with a large quantity of spirit stones and spirit liquid, then departed with satisfaction…】

【You did not linger long in the Dongsheng Realm. After resting for half a year and repairing the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel, you set off toward the next world.】

【And so, another four years passed. You traversed several lesser chiliocosms one after another, finally arriving at a world called the Aoyun Realm.】

【Year one hundred and fifty-five — you found the Luotian legacy in the Aoyun Realm, located within a Secret Realm.】

【By now, your vigilance had peaked, because in a previous simulation, this was where Qingyunzi had discovered you.】

【You cautiously ventured into the Secret Realm, searching for the Luotian Sect transmission…】

【You successfully obtained the partial Luotian Sect transmission along with a large quantity of spirit stones, then left the Secret Realm…】

【Qingyunzi did not appear. He seemed to have truly lost your trail and could not sense your location.】

【You breathed a small sigh of relief, then piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel toward your next destination: the Huangshui Realm!】

【The Huangshui Realm was a lesser chiliocosm that also contained some of the Luotian Sect’s legacies from years past…】

【After more than two months of void travel, you successfully arrived at the Huangshui Realm.】

【Year one hundred and fifty-six — upon arriving at the Huangshui Realm, you breathed a great sigh of relief.】

【The Huangshui Realm was less than twenty void nodes in a straight line from the Tianyuan Realm, and a full eighty void nodes away from the Azure Cloud Realm.】

【This distance already gave you a considerable sense of security.】

【So you decided to rest properly in the Huangshui Realm for a few years, consolidating your cultivation. The extended void travel had left your realm and cultivation somewhat unstable.】

【Beyond that, you also continued cultivating your divine sense…】

【And so, another nine years passed…】

【Year one hundred and sixty-five — your cultivation was consolidated and stable, and your divine sense had grown to forty-five thousand li (22,500 km)…】

In the Real World, Su Xing let out a long breath of relief upon seeing this.

“The Huangshui Realm isn’t far from the Tianyuan Realm… After the Huangshui Realm, the next coordinate is the Huangtian Realm — a Medium Chiliocosm and an important waypoint before reaching the Tianyuan Realm. It also contains some Luotian Sect legacies…”

When Su Xing had originally planned his route, he had tried to cover as many world coordinates where Luotian legacies were buried as possible. Beyond escaping, Su Xing also wanted to see just how much he could obtain from the Luotian legacies.

It would also facilitate his cultivation after reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm…

“I wonder whether the Luotian Sect legacy in the Huangshui Realm is still there?”

Su Xing mused thoughtfully.

Based on what he’d seen so far, each Luotian legacy contained anywhere from five million to tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones, along with countless techniques and supernatural arts.

But what excited Su Xing even more was the spirit liquid stored within!

Each legacy contained between three million and ten million drops of spirit liquid. If Su Xing could find over a dozen legacies, that would amount to nearly a hundred million drops of high-grade spirit liquid!

With such quantities, even his cultivation needs after the Heavenly Immortal realm could be largely met…

“First, find the Luotian legacy, then reach the Tianyuan Realm as quickly as possible!”

Having set his goal, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【You spent several months in the Huangshui Realm, and your luck proved quite good — you found a portion of the Luotian Sect legacy, yielding five million drops of high-grade spirit liquid.】

【Departing with great satisfaction, you piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel to your next destination…】

【And so, passing through more than ten void nodes and stopping in two lesser chiliocosms along the way, you successfully arrived at the Medium Chiliocosm — the Huangtian Realm!】

【Year one hundred and sixty-eight — after half a year of rest in the Huangtian Realm, your mana recovered fully.】

【But what concerned you was that the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel… was on the verge of breaking down!】

【The Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel was, after all, merely a half-step supreme post-celestial treasure and had not reached the level of a true supreme post-celestial treasure!】

【Moreover, your cultivation was only at the Earthly Immortal realm, and your mana was insufficient to protect the entire vessel…】

【More importantly, decades of continuous travel had taken their toll. Having passed through over a hundred void nodes, the vessel’s keel was on the verge of shattering…】

【Even with your skills as an Artifact Refinement Grandmaster, you could not fully restore it. You could only set up multiple layers of repair formations and defensive formations, hoping to keep it going long enough to reach the Tianyuan Realm.】

【Year one hundred and sixty-nine — you searched for traces of the Luotian legacy in the Huangtian Realm.】

【And so, another three years passed…】

【Year one hundred and seventy-two — you successfully found a Secret Realm containing a relatively intact Luotian legacy!】

【You harvested a full ten million drops of high-grade spirit liquid, and what excited you even more was… you obtained a jade slip that appeared to contain information about the ancient Wu Clan…】

In the Real World, Su Xing’s heart stirred when he saw this.

“The Luotian Sect and the ancient Wu Clan share deep origins… Could this transmission contain some important information?”

Su Xing stroked his chin, thinking that he happened to need the exact locations of these Luotian legacies.

Moreover, the Spirit Awakening Pill had yet to be consumed. In this simulation, Su Xing could also spend time studying the Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny.

With that thought, Su Xing murmured:

“Activate immersive simulation — duration: one hundred days…”

【Ding…】

Su Xing soon appeared in the simulated world. Rather than rushing to take the Spirit Awakening Pill, he first began memorizing the information his simulated self had left behind.

This included various changes in the Azure Cloud Realm and the Three Thousand Worlds, as well as what Su Xing cared about most — the detailed locations of each Luotian legacy…

Once he had committed all of this to memory, he took out a jade slip and began reading the information recorded within.

…

A moment later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of surprise passing through them.

“The ancient Wu Clan… the information in this jade slip is actually related to the Star Shamans?”

Su Xing could hardly believe his luck.

The jade slip recorded a piece of history unknown to the general public, known only to the descendants of the Wu Clan.

According to the Wu Clan descendants, when the Star Shamans originally split from the Wu Clan, a major reason was provocation by an outside force.

Su Xing did not know exactly which force it was.

But what he did learn was that after the Star Shamans left the Wu Clan, the entire clan’s power declined.

After all, the Star Shamans were the only race within the Wu Clan that possessed great wisdom.

Without the Star Shamans, the Wu Clan was like a body that had lost its thinking brain, left with nothing but a group of brutes…

What excited Su Xing even more was that this jade slip recorded two divination secret arts that the Star Shamans had taken with them when they departed.

The Greater Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method, and the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method!

Legend had it that if both the Greater and Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Methods were gathered together, one could observe the fate of life and death, the fortune of a clan, a world… or even the destiny of the entire Three Thousand Worlds!

“The Greater Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method… was indeed taken by the Star Shamans. So there’s a strong possibility it’s still in the Star Realm?”

“Perhaps… when the opportunity arises, I should go look for it!”

With that thought, Su Xing took out the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method he had compiled and began studying it.

He consumed a Spirit Awakening Pill and activated the Great Wisdom state.

Su Xing’s one hundred days of immersive simulation was equivalent to roughly twelve years of dedicated study and contemplation!

Yet even after twelve years of intense study, Su Xing’s grasp of the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method remained at a pre-introductory level — he had only picked up some superficial knowledge.

“Tsk tsk… even just the basics already feel incredibly enlightening!”

Su Xing clicked his tongue in wonder. The Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method felt several tiers above the Eight Trigrams Divination Art…

After returning to the Real World, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

“Next — push through to the Tianyuan Realm in one go!”

【After a hundred days of seclusion, you made slight progress in the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method…】

【But you still had not achieved introductory mastery.】

【This year, your divine sense grew to forty-six thousand li (23,000 km).】

【You repaired the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel once more, then piloted it through one void node after another, heading toward your final destination — the Tianyuan Realm…】
