Chapter 333 – Finally Entering the True Immortal Realm!

Su Xing’s heart stirred. The five types of immortal power—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—merged into one. That five-colored radiance transformed into a vortex, emanating a terrifying aura that would make even True Immortal realm cultivators tremble with fear!

After infusing the Five Elements immortal power into the vortex, Su Xing then wove strands of the Five Elements Dao into it…

Once the Five Elements Dao merged into the vortex, its colors immediately grew even more dazzling, so brilliant one could hardly bear to look directly at it…

Feeling the trembling of the immortal power vortex in his hand, Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly:

“The Five Elements Immortal Burst… doesn’t seem to be fully developed yet… The stability still needs further improvement!”

The moment Su Xing’s words fell, his expression shifted. The vortex was trembling at an increasingly rapid frequency, on the verge of losing control…

Just then, Su Xing extended his hand and hurled the immortal power vortex several thousand meters away, right beside the Strange Voidbeast…

Simultaneously, Su Xing took a single step and fled hundreds of li away…

Several breaths later, a terrifying five-colored brilliance erupted in that patch of space, as though it would devour everything in its surroundings…

Immediately after, a tremendous explosion rang out, and wave after wave of immortal power rippled outward for hundreds of li, causing the very ground where Su Xing stood to tremble!

“Hiss… The Five Elements Immortal Burst—its power slightly exceeds what I imagined!”

“If it can be fully stabilized… it’ll be yet another trump card capable of fighting above my level against Mystic Immortal realm opponents!”

Su Xing nodded slightly, then took another step forward, casually crossing hundreds of li in a single stride to return to the Strange Voidbeast’s side.

At this moment, this Strange Voidbeast—hundreds of zhang tall, towering like a mountain—let out feeble roars, its cries shrill and agonized… Crimson blood spilled across the ground, filling the air with a pungent, coppery stench.

Su Xing focused his gaze and saw that the Strange Voidbeast’s chest now bore an enormous crater dozens of zhang deep. The severity of its wounds was staggering.

“Hiss… The power of that single strike could probably kill an early-stage Mystic Immortal realm cultivator who isn’t skilled in defense, couldn’t it?”

Su Xing clicked his tongue. The Strange Voidbeast possessed formidable physical strength, yet even it had been grievously wounded by a single blow—let alone an ordinary human immortal.

The Strange Voidbeast was clearly quite intelligent. Upon seeing Su Xing, hatred flashed in its eyes as it lunged ferociously toward him.

Su Xing gripped the Blackice sword and engaged the Strange Voidbeast in fierce combat.

After merely the first exchange of blows, Su Xing’s expression shifted. This Strange Voidbeast’s raw physical strength was more than double his own!

“Tsk tsk… As expected of a Half-Step Mystic Immortal Realm strange beast. Such strength is truly remarkable!”

Su Xing had no intention of matching it blow for blow. Instead, he employed his swordsmanship, treating this battle with the Strange Voidbeast as training to hone his sword techniques and combat experience.

This battle lasted a full three days and three nights!

Even though the Strange Voidbeast was severely wounded, its endurance remained terrifying…

In the end, because its injuries proved impossible to recover from, it was ground down and killed by Su Xing through sheer attrition.

Watching the mountain-like Strange Voidbeast topple over, triggering tremor after tremor, Su Xing let out a long breath. He now had a much clearer understanding of his own strength.

“Without using my trump cards… my strength should be slightly inferior to an early-stage Mystic Immortal realm cultivator. I suppose I’ve reached the Half-Step Mystic Immortal Realm?”

“But if I use those few trump cards, I could hold my own even against an early-stage Mystic Immortal realm cultivator!”

Su Xing pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to the Strange Voidbeast’s corpse.

He used his sharp sword to slice open the Strange Voidbeast’s skin, and soon… found several fist-sized “inner cores” within!

“Tsk tsk… So these are the special mineral formations produced inside a Strange Voidbeast’s body? What dense spatial Dao essence!”

Su Xing’s eyes lit up. In plain terms, these stones were the Strange Voidbeast’s “internal calculi”!

They were also treasures that all cultivators of the Great Dao of Space across the Three Thousand Worlds dreamed of obtaining!

A single one of these “calculi” was worth over fifty million high-grade spirit stones…

“Not bad! This trip was well worth it!”

“Let me try using these stones to aid my cultivation and see what kind of speed I can achieve.”

Su Xing took a sip of Dao-Enlightenment Tea, then began cultivating.

A single sip of Dao-Enlightenment Tea lasted a full two years…

Two years later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes. Sensing the growth of the Great Dao of Space within him, he nodded with satisfaction.

“Not bad… These two years were equivalent to three hundred years of contemplation!”

“My Spatial Dao Comprehension has advanced another step closer to the fourth stage, Thorough Mastery!”

Su Xing calculated that with the aid of the Strange Voidbeast’s “calculi” for cultivation, he could gain roughly a two- to threefold enhancement!

“Excellent… It seems that in the future, if I want to cultivate the Great Dao of Space, I’ll need to collect enough of these stones to assist me…”

Over the two years, Su Xing had consumed a total of four Strange Voidbeast calculi. Afterward, he departed from this Secret Realm.

Over the following year, Su Xing explored two or three more void mist regions in succession, but found nothing of value.

“It seems that while opportunities do exist in the Nine Heavens… they require a great deal of time to discover…”

Su Xing’s primary objective in this simulation remained surviving the Wind Calamity, so he didn’t plan to continue exploring here.

“Then… let me return to the Azure Cloud Sect first. It’s safer there…”

Without hesitation, Su Xing deployed the power of space and headed toward the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.

One year later, Su Xing returned to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm and entered the Lesser Azure Cloud Sect.

At this point, it was the 127th year of the simulation. Su Xing’s immersive simulation had only ten years remaining before it would end.

Back in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, Su Xing began planning his next phase of cultivation.

“During my fight with the Strange Voidbeast… the Five Elements Immortal Burst still wasn’t perfected. It needs further refinement!”

“Beyond that… it’s also time to cultivate a spatial supernatural art!”

After tidying things up, Su Xing prepared to go bother Senior Sister Ziling.

At this moment, Fairy Ziling was carefully tending Spirit-Gathering Flowers in her cave dwelling… She seemed very interested in the path of spirit cultivation, and aside from her own cultivation, she spent the vast majority of her time fussing over various flowers and plants.

After receiving Su Xing’s voice transmission, Fairy Ziling invited him in and asked:

“Junior Brother, what brings you to me this time?”

Su Xing didn’t waste time with pleasantries and got straight to the point:

“Senior Sister, I’ve been wanting to cultivate a spatial movement technique supernatural art lately… Preferably one of high caliber. Do you have any recommendations?”

After hearing Su Xing’s words, Fairy Ziling considered for a moment, then produced a jade slip and said:

“Junior Brother, this supernatural art is called the Earthshrink Golden Light… It is one of our Azure Cloud Sect’s signature movement techniques! Only direct-lineage disciples may cultivate it… and it requires sect contribution points to exchange for.”

“But since you’ve just joined the Azure Cloud Sect, I’ll give you this supernatural art as a welcoming gift. The Earthshrink Golden Light technique will serve you well all the way to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!”

Su Xing’s heart stirred with excitement. He quickly took the Earthshrink Golden Light technique and examined it, his eyes immediately lighting up.

This supernatural art indeed utilized the principles of spatial transference, transforming one into golden light that traversed through space… At Minor Mastery, a single step could cross a thousand li (500 km)!

“This supernatural art is excellent! Junior Brother offers his sincere thanks to Senior Sister!”

Su Xing bowed respectfully to Fairy Ziling.

Afterward, Fairy Ziling also consulted Su Xing about his insights on spirit cultivation, and Su Xing shared everything he knew without reservation.

This exchange of knowledge lasted three months. Three months later, Su Xing returned to his cave dwelling, ready to first cultivate the Earthshrink Golden Light technique!

“Tsk tsk… As long as I can cultivate this technique to the Minor Mastery stage, my movement speed will be no less than a Mystic Immortal realm cultivator’s!”

Su Xing mulled it over, then first consumed a Spirit Awakening Pill before beginning to cultivate the Earthshrink Golden Light supernatural art.

In the blink of an eye, one month passed…

Under the Spirit Awakening Pill’s enhancement, one month of Su Xing’s cultivation was equivalent to twenty years of arduous practice!

“Tsk tsk… As expected of an Azure Cloud Sect supernatural art. This technique encompasses not only the spatial Dao, but also the Dao of Speed!”

“Even with one Spirit Awakening Pill’s enhancement, I still haven’t crossed the entry threshold?”

Su Xing didn’t hesitate. He drank a sip of Dao-Enlightenment Tea, then continued cultivating…

In another blink of an eye, four more years passed.

In the 132nd year of the simulation, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, a look of satisfaction on his face.

“The Earthshrink Golden Light supernatural art has successfully reached Minor Mastery!”

“Using this technique, my travel speed has increased by at least fifty percent!”

Su Xing was quite pleased with this result. With this supernatural art, not only had his movement speed greatly improved, but his consumption of spatial Dao energy had also decreased considerably.

“There are still three years left on the Dao-Enlightenment Tea… Let me try to further refine the Five Elements Immortal Burst…” Su Xing murmured.

…

The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the Real World.

Employing his memory supernatural art, Su Xing’s gaze gradually sharpened as he murmured:

“The Five Elements Immortal Burst… is more or less perfected now. At least it won’t exhibit the instability from before!”

“Now, my overall strength has fully caught up to the Mystic Immortal realm!”

“Then, for the time ahead… it’s time to focus entirely on surviving the Wind Calamity!”

“Regardless of whether this attempt can increase my potential by another ten percent… I must break through to the True Immortal realm!”

Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.

【Simulation Year 137: You filled in the gaps in your movement speed and supernatural arts, further increasing your overall strength.】

【This year was also the 87th year of your Wind Calamity… Even with your level of strength, the Wind Calamity inevitably took its toll.】

【But you remained within the Azure Cloud Sect, focusing on weathering the Wind Calamity, so there was no real danger.】

【In the blink of an eye, thirty-three years passed…】

【Year 170: The Wind Calamity’s power continued to increase, and your strength fell to peak True Immortal realm…】

【You could feel the Wind Calamity constantly tempering your innate potential. Though the process was slow… little by little, it accumulated!】

【Year 220: Another fifty years passed in a flash. It was now the 170th year of your Wind Calamity!】

【This year, your strength fell to the late True Immortal realm.】

【Even as the Wind Calamity grew ever stronger, you could still withstand it—without even using a Wind-Calming Pearl.】

【Year 250: Your strength fell to the mid True Immortal realm.】

【In the 200th year of your Wind Calamity, you used the first Wind-Calming Pearl.】

【After keeping the Wind-Calming Pearl on your person, you clearly felt your condition improve significantly.】

【Over the next sixty years, you used four more Wind-Calming Pearls in succession.】

【Year 310: You still had three Wind-Calming Pearls remaining, and at this point a single pearl could only sustain you for ten years.】

【So you decided to purchase a few more Wind-Calming Pearls to ensure you had enough for your cultivation.】

【But Fairy Ziling told you that Wind-Calming Pearls could be exchanged using contribution points within the sect…】

【You sold some immortal treasures and spirit stones, converting them to contribution points, and purchased five more Wind-Calming Pearls.】

【With a sufficient supply of Wind-Calming Pearls, you continued cultivating in peace…】

【In year three hundred and sixty, you could feel the Wind Calamity’s augmentation gradually pushing toward its absolute limit…】

【At this point, the Wind Calamity’s total potential enhancement had reached nearly eleven-tenths!】

【And so you continued accumulating your foundation as another ten years passed.】

【In year three hundred and seventy, the Wind Calamity’s enhancement had reached a full eleven-tenths!】

【This exceeded the limits of ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals… across the entire Three Thousand Worlds, the number of cultivators who had accomplished this could be counted on one hand!】

【After your potential broke through, you wanted to test how much more enhancement the Wind Calamity could offer, so you endured another ten years.】

【In year three hundred and eighty, you were disappointed to discover that the Wind Calamity’s enhancement had become negligible… even if you endured another five hundred years, it would be difficult to gain even one-tenth more potential…】

【And so, you hesitated no longer and prepared to end the Wind Calamity, launching your final sprint toward the True Immortal realm!】

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

“Finally — eleven-tenths potential enhancement, surpassing ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals! I’d say I’ve pushed this Wind Calamity to its absolute limit!”

Su Xing did a rough calculation. His total time enduring the Wind Calamity had already exceeded seven hundred years…

Aside from that Wind spiritual root cultivator, Su Xing could be considered one of the rarest existences!

“Still, that cultivator endured the Wind Calamity for a thousand years… but the actual potential gained was probably only slightly above eleven-tenths, far from reaching twelve-tenths. The further you go, the lower the returns — there’s no need to force it!”

After a pause, Su Xing continued:

“So, with the Wind Calamity concluded, stepping into the True Immortal realm should be nothing more than a natural progression!”

Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【In year three hundred and eighty-one, you announced a period of secluded cultivation, remaining within your cave dwelling in silent meditation, attempting to capture that single spark of inspiration needed to break through to the True Immortal realm…】

【Over the past several hundred years, you had dozens of opportunities to break through to the True Immortal realm in one fell swoop, but you had suppressed every single one, all for the sake of maximizing your potential growth!】

【And now, the time was ripe — naturally, you would not hesitate!】

【After sitting in stillness for seven years, you sensed the winds around you rapidly diminishing…】

【From raging gales, they gradually softened into gentle breezes…】

【When the gentle breeze brushed past your crown chakra, you felt a flash of inspiration spark to life…】

【In the next instant, the vital energy within you began to surge!】

【Your entire physical body and immortal power underwent a further sublimation…】

【The entire process proceeded with extraordinary smoothness — it was as effortless as merely waking from a nap…】

【When you came back to your senses, you felt completely renewed… Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the True Immortal realm!】

In the Real World, the corners of Su Xing’s mouth curved upward at the sight of this.

“At last — a successful breakthrough to the True Immortal realm!”

“From the Celestial Immortal realm to the True Immortal realm… the greatest bottleneck was the Wind Calamity!”

“Once you weather the Wind Calamity, the path ahead is clear and unobstructed!”

“The True Immortal realm… a natural progression!”

Su Xing had once studied the ancient texts. When Celestial Immortal realm cultivators endured the Wind Calamity, the enhancement they received was the greatest — their overall strength could increase by fifty percent to over double!

In Su Xing’s case, the growth of his immortal power, aptitude, and physical body had all more than doubled!

Yet upon formally breaking through to the True Immortal realm, the growth was comparatively less — the major realm breakthrough enhancement was only around fifty percent.

This was precisely why Celestial Immortal realm cultivators would exhaust every possible method to endure as many additional years of Wind Calamity as they could — all for the sake of future strength growth…

“A smooth breakthrough to the True Immortal realm… then this simulation’s objective has been successfully achieved!”

“Staying in the Azure Cloud Sect any longer would actually be unwise… perhaps it’s time to go out and explore?”

Su Xing decided he would no longer sit and wait for death. With his current strength, perhaps he could already manage medium to long-range void travel?

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

【In year three hundred and eighty-three, after making preparations, you decided to leave the Azure Cloud Sect and venture into the outside world for training.】

【By this time, the situation across the Three Thousand Worlds had become extremely dire. The entire Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, along with dozens of surrounding lesser chiliocosms, had already fallen…】

【Fortunately, the Azure Cloud Realm itself remained unscathed, so you prepared to depart from the other side of the Azure Cloud Realm, heading toward more distant worlds…】

【To the south of the Azure Cloud Realm lay over a hundred Medium Chiliocosms, stretching so far that the most distant reached the Endless Sea…】

【The Endless Sea was the collective name for a vast region of the void…】

【The Endless Sea was the most treacherous region of illusory space within the void, filled with countless chaotic spatial currents that flowed like ocean tides, brimming with danger at every turn.】

【Moreover, its expanse was so vast that not a single lesser chiliocosm existed within it — cultivators had absolutely no way to stop and rest there.】

【It was akin to the oceans and continents of the mortal world…】

【And the Endless Sea separated the Azure Origin Domain from the center of the Three Thousand Worlds — the Heavenly Secrets Domain!】

【With your current strength, you could not yet cross the Endless Sea, but you prepared to explore the smaller worlds to the south…】

【You piloted the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Vessel, channeling the spatial Dao, and the vessel hurtled southward at a terrifying speed…】

【In merely one year, you traversed over twenty void nodes and successfully arrived at a place called the Southern Swallow Realm.】

【The Southern Swallow Realm was a lesser chiliocosm, rather famous among the dozens of surrounding lesser chiliocosms, owing to a species of swallow-like birds found within.】

【These birds were exceedingly delicious — even immortals considered them a rare delicacy — but they were incredibly fast and difficult to catch, making them extraordinarily expensive…】

【Over the next ten-plus years, you traversed more than ten lesser chiliocosms in succession, greatly expanding your knowledge of the Three Thousand Worlds.】

【At the same time, during this period, you also received grim news…】

【Near the Azure Cloud Realm, it seemed that three more lesser chiliocosms had fallen… the situation across the entire Azure Origin Domain was growing ever more dire!】

【You sighed inwardly — at this rate, in perhaps a few thousand years, more than half of the entire Azure Origin Domain would fall…】

【Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was simulation year four hundred and ten!】

【One day, your talent Blessed by Fortune sent a warning…】

【Several days later, Qingyunzi found you…】

【By now, he had completely succumbed to demonic madness, consumed by the evil corpse…】

【Facing a strike from a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, you had not the slightest power to resist…】

【You died!】

【Ding, this simulation has ended!】

After the simulation ended, Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly.

“As expected, there’s still no avoiding being hunted down by Qingyunzi…”

Su Xing let out a long sigh. As long as Qingyunzi could not sever the evil corpse, he would forever be “coveting” the Luotian secret treasury!

This was Qingyunzi’s most fundamental obsession…

And as the direct disciple most closely connected to the Luotian Sect, Su Xing was naturally a target of Qingyunzi’s pursuit.

Su Xing sighed and said:

“So be it. After I’ve fully received the Luotian inheritance… perhaps then I’ll have a way to resolve the Qingyunzi problem!”

At this thought, Su Xing couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

The entire Luotian Sect’s inheritance… and that mysterious Luotian Mirror! They all seemed to be beckoning to Su Xing!

All he needed was for his cultivation to break through to the True Immortal realm!

Su Xing’s gaze eagerly turned to the simulation reward list.

【Shennong Reborn】: Gold talent. Price: 10 origin energy.

【Wind-Calming Pearl】: A treasure that resists the Wind Calamity and can also ward off all winds in existence. Price: 100,000 origin energy.

【True Immortal Realm, First Layer】: Having weathered the Three Calamities of Immortals and achieved True Immortal status, the Great Dao beckons, with a lifespan of one cosmic cycle! Price: 300,000 origin energy!

In this simulation, Su Xing had devoted all his efforts to enduring the Wind Calamity and breaking through to the True Immortal realm… so the rewards available for selection were rather limited.

“True Immortal realm cultivation — the first layer alone costs three hundred thousand origin energy?”

Su Xing sighed inwardly. The energy required was roughly in line with his estimates.

“Well then, there’s nothing to hesitate about — time to formally prepare for the True Immortal realm breakthrough!”

Su Xing set out immediately, heading to the Age of Immortals and Martial Arts dungeon, then entering the Flame-Commanding Sect ruins.

Some time ago, Su Xing had carved out time to set up numerous concealment formations and arrays for Shielding Heavenly Secrets within this ruin.

Furthermore, since Su Xing’s Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny had advanced to the Initial Glimpse stage, his ability to shield karmic secrets had become even more masterful.

“Breaking into the True Immortal realm will inevitably cause quite a commotion… better to lay down several extra layers of protective measures!”

Su Xing murmured.

Although he was about to step into the True Immortal realm, he had no intention of being discovered by Red Moon until he possessed sufficient strength.

“Perhaps, after reaching the Golden Immortal realm… I’ll be able to face Red Moon directly, without needing to hide anymore!”

Su Xing spent several days setting up multiple layers of protective formations.

When everything was ready, Su Xing silently intoned:

“I choose to bring out the talent Shennong Reborn… and True Immortal Realm, First Layer cultivation!”

【Ding, detected that you possess the lower-tier talent of the same type, Descendant of Shennong… talent replacement in progress!】

【Congratulations, you have successfully brought out the talent Shennong Reborn. Cost: 10 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 1,610,256…】

【Congratulations, you have successfully brought out True Immortal Realm, First Layer cultivation… Cost: 300,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 1,310,256…】

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

First, Su Xing felt an extraordinary affinity with the spirit plants around him — as though he could effortlessly sense their thoughts. All spirit plants and immortal herbs could be cultivated with ease in his hands.

This was the effect brought about by the gold talent Shennong Reborn!

“Tsk tsk… I didn’t get to try out the Shennong Reborn talent’s effects in this simulation. I absolutely must test it when I get the chance!”

Su Xing took a deep breath, preparing to welcome the transformation of his cultivation!

In the next second, the aura around Su Xing began to surge rapidly…

As he broke through from peak Celestial Immortal realm to the True Immortal realm… a layer of shackles upon Su Xing’s body slowly came undone…

The mana within Su Xing’s body flowed like a mighty river, surging ceaselessly!

Whether in terms of mana quality or density, both far surpassed what he had possessed before…

Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, continuously adjusting his breathing, adapting to the explosive growth of cultivation within his body.

Half a day later, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curving upward.

“True Immortal realm cultivation — finally achieved!”

The joy in Su Xing’s heart was simply impossible to conceal.

Ascending from Celestial Immortal to True Immortal realm, having weathered the complete Three Calamities of Immortals — this was absolutely a monumental transformation in cultivation!

But what mattered even more to Su Xing was this: having reached the True Immortal realm, he finally possessed the ability to inherit the Luotian Sect’s legacy!

“Before leaving Earth… I need to make a trip to the Luotian Assembly first!”
