by spirapiraChapter 379 – True Immortal Ninth Layer, Gold Talent Fortune Spring Divine Physique! [8k Mega Chapter, Monthly Tickets Please]
【In the span of a single breath, the Celestial Demon General, originally three zhang (9.99 m) tall, transformed into a colossus standing ten thousand zhang (33.3 km) high!】
【The black greataxe in his hand was likewise a full ten thousand zhang (33.3 km) in length.】
【The Celestial Demon General let out a furious roar, then cleaved downward with a single axe stroke…】
【In the next instant, the earth split open, mountains toppled, and the entire Lesser Azure Cloud Realm… seemed to shudder.】
【This single strike plunged everything within a hundred thousand li (50,000 km) of Celestial Demon City into an earthquake.】
【All beings of insufficient cultivation were doomed to perish… whether human cultivators or aliens!】
【Of course, under the Celestial Demon General’s control, the casualties were primarily aliens — a million aliens were annihilated in that single moment…】
【The only survivors were alien beings whose power surpassed the divine level…】
【You released your spiritual power and flew ten thousand zhang (33.3 km) into the sky, watching this terrifying axe strike…】
【A single blow that shattered mountains and rivers, stretching a hundred thousand li (50,000 km) — with your strength, you could accomplish the same…】
【But slaying a million aliens with a single strike? You were still far from that.】
【You observed the corpses of the dead red-eyed aliens with your divine sense… most had intact physical bodies, but their pupils had scattered. They appeared to have been literally frightened to death!】
【This kind of power felt somewhat familiar to you…】
【It was killing intent!】
【The Celestial Demon General’s axe strike just now had actually been infused with the Great Dao of Killing!】
【Beneath that single axe, a million aliens perished not through sheer force, but through the terrifying killing intent woven into the axe technique!】
【When the Great Dao of Killing is cultivated to its highest depths, it can manifest physically and sever the boundary between life and death!】
In the Real World, Su Xing gasped at the sight.
“Killing intent alone… can slay a million aliens? Is this the true power of the Celestial Demon General’s avatar?”
“What level has this Great Dao of Killing reached… the fifth realm, or the sixth?”
Su Xing considered himself somewhat enlightened in the Great Dao of Killing as well, having stepped into the second realm.
He could flexibly apply killing intent within supernatural arts and techniques to enhance their power.
But compared to the Celestial Demon General’s level, the gap was still enormous…
“Moreover, this is merely the Celestial Demon General’s avatar… if his true body were to use it…”
“A single axe strike would probably leave no living creature in the entire Lesser Azure Cloud Realm!”
Su Xing finally understood why the Celestial Demon General had once urged him to cultivate the Great Dao of Killing more.
On the battlefield, the Great Dao of Killing’s effectiveness in fighting many enemies at once was unmatched by ordinary Daos.
“Alas, what a pity… the Celestial Demon General’s avatar ultimately only possesses Golden Immortal-level strength… so can he actually hold off those six Golden Immortals?”
A trace of worry appeared in Su Xing’s eyes as he turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
【Above Celestial Demon City, ten thousand zhang (33.3 km) in the sky, you watched the Celestial Demon General unleash his divine might like a god or demon, and a measure of admiration rose in your heart.】
【This technique made no distinction between friend and foe, yet it had eliminated the vast majority of the alien forces’ combat strength.】
【In comparison, the losses on the human side were negligible…】
【But this technique was, after all, an offense against heaven’s harmony… an ordinary Grand Luo would never dare act so recklessly.】
【But he was the Celestial Demon General!】
【Once those alien armies freed up their forces, the cultivators of the entire Lesser Azure Cloud Realm would inevitably become their sustenance…】
【At that point, the enemy would grow stronger through war, making the overall situation even worse.】
【Therefore, the Celestial Demon General was willing to bear the karmic burden to slaughter the aliens. Such domineering resolve was beyond the reach of ordinary people…】
【After the axe strike, a divine sense transmission suddenly reached your ears.】
【It was the Celestial Demon General, informing you to organize the Heavenly Abyss Army’s departure from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm as quickly as possible… after this battle, the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm would cease to exist!】
【Your heart jolted upon hearing this. Sure enough, even with the Celestial Demon General’s boldness, he could not guarantee the complete annihilation of all aliens in this realm.】
【After receiving the Celestial Demon General’s transmission, you didn’t hesitate and swiftly organized the Heavenly Abyss Army’s evacuation.】
【After three years of war, the Heavenly Abyss Army had been reduced to fewer than a hundred thousand…】
【But every single one of these cultivators was battle-hardened elite…】
【Those at Mahayana cultivation and above accounted for a full fifty percent…】
【You spent half a day gathering all the Heavenly Abyss Army cultivators into the spirit field grotto-heaven, then departed from the vicinity of Celestial Demon City.】
【Even a million li (500,000 km) away, you could still sense the momentum of the battle raging in Celestial Demon City’s direction.】
【After leaving Celestial Demon City, you began traveling between various cultivator cities.】
【The cultivators in these cities were mostly anxious and fearful. Many had spontaneously organized to head to the front lines to fight the aliens, as if they all knew what was about to happen…】
【Though you wished to save them all, you knew it was impossible.】
【So you could only take some of the elderly and young, along with high-level cultivators, preserving as much of humanity’s fighting strength as possible.】
【Three days later, you arrived near White Emperor City, which had long since lost its former prosperity.】
【The Celestial Secrets Pavilion had already left this realm dozens of days ago, and the young woman of the pavilion’s whereabouts were unknown.】
【As for the cultivators near White Emperor City, those with connections had long since paid exorbitant prices to leave this realm and seek refuge in other worlds.】
【You arrived at the location of Great Xia…】
【This was where the humans from Earth had migrated to long ago.】
【Since migrating from Earth to this place, they had carried on their legacy for over three hundred years…】
【Over three hundred years, Great Xia had already gone through more than ten generations…】
【The entire power system of Great Xia had gradually shifted from the original Class Users to present-day cultivators.】
【Though most of the old acquaintances were long gone, legends about you still circulated throughout Great Xia…】
【Jin Congxue had now broken through to the Tribulation Crossing stage… and your close brothers, parents, and relatives had also become cultivators with your help.】
【You took most of your friends and family with you, preparing to leave the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【In the blink of an eye, a month passed.】
【On this day, you boarded the Star-Moon Shuttle and departed from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【Outside the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, you witnessed the destruction of this world…】
【The terrifying force nearly penetrated the entire Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, making even you tremble as you floated in the void.】
【Then you watched as the entire world began to gradually fall apart…】
【From the void, faint wails seemed to echo…】
【A world was ending — perhaps this was the sorrow of this realm’s Heavenly Dao…】
【Before your eyes, this vast world shattered into countless stellar fragments, blooming across the void.】
【You took one last look, then swiftly piloted the Star-Moon Shuttle away.】
【A month later, you arrived at the Star Realm.】
【Separated by an immeasurable distance, the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm’s destruction seemed to have had no impact here.】
【The cultivators of the Star Realm treated you with great respect, having long since designated an area for the cultivators who had come from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm to take refuge…】
【Under your arrangements, the Heavenly Abyss Army and some of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm’s cultivators successfully found a place to settle in the Star Realm.】
【Though temporarily out of danger, there was not the slightest relaxation in your heart.】
【The Lesser Azure Cloud Realm’s destruction was still vivid in your mind. Though this realm was far away, at the rate of the aliens’ invasion, the worlds near the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm would be swiftly overrun…】
【In year three hundred and thirty-five, the complete intelligence from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm finally arrived.】
【The Celestial Demon General’s avatar had perished in battle… of the six Golden Immortal-level combatants, five had fallen… and the countless red-eyed alien armies had been completely annihilated!】
【Though the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm was destroyed, the Celestial Demon General had single-handedly bought at least a hundred years of respite for the Azure Origin Domain!】
【After the battle, you gained a temporary breathing period and began expanding the Heavenly Abyss Army’s numbers.】
【At the same time, the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm’s destruction made the human race understand the terror of the aliens. The White Emperor Tower, Gold Coin Trading Company, and other factions began forming a human alliance to jointly resist the aliens…】
In the Real World, Su Xing’s emotions were complicated as he read this.
“The Celestial Demon General’s avatar… the avatar of a mighty Grand Luo Golden Immortal… actually fell in this battle!”
Su Xing knew in his heart that if the Celestial Demon General had wanted to flee, those six Golden Immortals could never have stopped him!
But the Celestial Demon General’s true intention had been to use the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm’s destruction and his own death to deal a devastating blow to the aliens!
Sacrificing one avatar in exchange for a century of peace in the Azure Origin Domain — it didn’t seem like a bad trade.
“Overall, the situation is still developing in a favorable direction…”
“Next, I still have enough time to raise my cultivation… but before the five-hundred-year limit, I’ll probably need to find a way to extend the simulation.”
After mulling it over, Su Xing decided that over the next hundred years, he absolutely had to advance his cultivation as quickly as possible.
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
【In year three hundred and fifty, in the Star Realm, you began planning your breakthrough.】
【In the decade-plus following the war, you had used Rebirth Pills and spirit liquid to continuously elevate the Heavenly Abyss Army’s strength.】
【The hundred-thousand-strong Heavenly Abyss Army had expanded back to two hundred thousand, most of whom were native Star Realm cultivators…】
【After informing a few trusted subordinates that you would be entering seclusion, you entered the spirit field grotto-heaven.】
【Within the spirit field grotto-heaven, you produced tens of millions of drops of high-grade spirit liquid. Like a vortex, all of it was absorbed into your dantian, transforming into pure immortal power…】
【This breakthrough lasted a full fifteen years…】
【In year three hundred and sixty-five, you successfully emerged from seclusion!】
【Congratulations on breaking through to True Immortal Eighth Layer!】
【At this point, you were drawing ever closer to True Immortal Perfection, but you did not grow complacent and continued practicing the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art every day.】
【In year four hundred, your Spirit Domain successfully expanded to three thousand four hundred zhang (11.32 km)!】
【In year four hundred and twenty, your cultivation reached True Immortal Eighth Layer mid-stage…】
【Cultivation in the later True Immortal stages was no easy task. Unlike ordinary True Immortals who must constantly seek out secret realms and rare treasures, the abundant spirit liquid within the Luotian Realm ensured your continued progress.】
【However, your cultivation speed still declined to some degree.】
【Over these years, the alien invasions had never ceased — they were merely weaker than before.】
【But as time passed, the red-eyed aliens showed signs of mounting a massive comeback…】
【Your anxiety grew, and you redoubled your cultivation efforts.】
【Another fifty years passed…】
【In year four hundred and seventy, your cultivation reached True Immortal Eighth Layer late-stage.】
【That year, intelligence arrived from the front lines: the Yellow Sand Realm and the Black Water Realm had been destroyed, overrun by the aliens!】
【At this rate, in no more than a hundred years, the aliens would be able to invade the area around the Star Realm.】
【The Azure Cloud Sect still had not issued any statement on the matter, leaving many independent cultivators in the Azure Origin Domain bitterly disappointed.】
【But you understood — Patriarch Qingyunzi was barely managing his own affairs. Under these circumstances, the Azure Cloud Sect simply could not spare resources to help cultivators from other worlds.】
【Otherwise, should the Azure Cloud Sect’s defenses be left empty and the aliens launch a massive invasion of the Azure Cloud Realm, the entire Azure Origin Domain’s situation would be upended!】
In the Real World, Su Xing murmured:
“It’s already year four hundred and seventy of the simulation! From here, Patriarch Qingyunzi’s evil corpse will gain the upper hand…”
“There’s no need to head to the Heavenly Secrets Domain for this simulation… last time, making it there alive was already a stroke of luck.”
“But traveling to the Nine Heavens Domain can still extend the simulation time to some extent…”
Su Xing already had a fairly good understanding of the Azure Origin Domain’s situation over the next several centuries.
So the goal of this simulation was essentially achieved — he just needed to maximize his cultivation as much as possible.
With that in mind, Su Xing’s gaze returned to the simulation panel.
【In year four hundred and seventy, you set out for the Nine Heavens Domain.】
【After several years of travel, you arrived at the secret realm of the Fifth Heaven and began cultivating there in peace.】
【Thus, thirty years passed.】
【In year five hundred, your cultivation successfully reached True Immortal Eighth Layer Peak…】
【You began preparing for your breakthrough to True Immortal Ninth Layer.】
【Over twenty years, you expended nearly a hundred million drops of high-grade spirit liquid, and with the Spirit Vein Dragon’s assistance, you finally broke through successfully.】
【Congratulations on successfully breaking through to True Immortal Ninth Layer!】
【In year five hundred and twenty, you drew ever closer to True Immortal Perfection.】
【In year five hundred and fifty, your Spirit Domain’s range reached three thousand five hundred zhang (11.65 km)!】
【In year five hundred and ninety… your cultivation successfully broke through to True Immortal Ninth Layer mid-stage…】
【In year six hundred, one day your Blessed by Fortune talent sent you a warning.】
【The next day, Qingyunzi found you…】
【You died…】
【Ding — this simulation has ended!】
After the simulation ended, Su Xing let out a long breath.
“True Immortal Ninth Layer mid-stage cultivation… Great Dao of the Sword and Five Elements Dao both advanced to the fourth realm, and my Spirit Domain has grown tremendously… this simulation’s goals have been fully achieved!”
Amid his joy, Su Xing also felt some concern about the situation in the Three Thousand Worlds.
“But since I’ve chosen this path… I must keep walking it!”
“From here on, I must rapidly raise my cultivation!”
Su Xing turned his gaze to this simulation’s rewards.
【Dragon Tribe Affinity】: purple talent, priced at 1 origin energy point.
【True Immortal Realm, Ninth Layer】: Having crossed the Three Calamities of Immortals and achieved True Immortality, the Great Dao beckons. Lifespan extends to one cosmic cycle! Priced at 900,000 origin energy!
【Spirit Domain Cultivation Results】: Upon selection, comprehension of the Spirit Domain dramatically increases. Personal Spirit Domain coverage reaches 3,500 zhang (11.65 km). Within the Spirit Domain, the power of spells and supernatural arts is greatly enhanced, and Great Dao comprehension can be applied at will. Priced at 150,000 origin energy.
【Slaughter Grand Dao Comprehension】: Gained from observing the Celestial Demon General’s avatar. Dramatically accelerates progress in the Great Dao of Killing. Priced at 100,000 origin energy.
Upon seeing this simulation’s rewards, Su Xing didn’t hesitate for a moment and silently declared:
“I choose to bring out the True Immortal Ninth Layer cultivation… and the Spirit Domain cultivation results!”
【You have successfully brought out Spirit Domain Cultivation Results. Cost: 150,000 origin energy points. Remaining origin energy: 8,388,895 points…】
【You have successfully brought out True Immortal Realm, Ninth Layer cultivation. Cost: 900,000 origin energy points. Remaining origin energy: 7,488,895 points…】
As Su Xing’s origin energy plummeted, two streams of mysterious power surged into his body.
The first thing Su Xing felt was his cultivation skyrocketing!
True Immortal realm Sixth Layer Peak… True Immortal Seventh Layer… True Immortal Eighth Layer…
Finally, Su Xing’s cultivation smoothly advanced to True Immortal Ninth Layer, reaching True Immortal Ninth Layer mid-stage!
This rise in cultivation felt as natural as water flowing downhill, without the slightest sense of resistance.
Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, felt the surging power within his body, and nodded with satisfaction.
“From True Immortal mid-stage… straight to the ninth layer, approaching True Immortal Peak!”
“The spiritual power within me has more than doubled in density!”
Beyond the joy of his increased strength, Su Xing marveled once again at the simulator’s mystical nature.
“An ordinary True Immortal’s breakthrough requires over a century per minor realm… yet the cultivation I gain from the simulation completely bypasses that!”
“It’s as if… this power belonged to me all along!”
This was not the first time Su Xing had felt this premonition.
Back when his cultivation was lower, Su Xing could still chalk it up to breakthroughs being easy.
But as Su Xing’s cultivation grew ever higher, this ability to directly bring back cultivation feedback had clearly exceeded all expectations.
However, Su Xing didn’t know the specific reasons behind it.
“Surely when I reach Grand Luo Golden Immortal, cultivation advancement won’t be this easy, right?”
Su Xing chuckled softly.
After adapting to the surging immortal power within his body, Su Xing took a moment to sense the growth of his Spirit Domain.
Three thousand five hundred zhang (11.65 km)—compared to the previous two thousand zhang (6.66 km), it had nearly doubled!
The expansion of his Spirit Domain also meant that within its range, the power of Su Xing’s supernatural arts had grown even more terrifyingly.
“Still, the distance to ten thousand zhang (33.3 km) for Spirit Domain Major Mastery seems quite far!”
Su Xing murmured.
Glancing at the time, Su Xing performed a quick calculation:
“By my reckoning, Luo Shuying should have already fled to the Spirit Realm by now… In that case, it’s time for me to set out as well!”
With a thought, Su Xing left his Spirit Domain.
Then, with a few strides, Su Xing traversed a hundred thousand li (50,000 km) and arrived at the passage he had previously used to travel from Earth to the Spirit Realm.
Without needing the Spirit Clan token, Su Xing directly employed his spatial Dao, smoothly entering the Spirit Realm.
The entire process took no more than a quarter of an hour.
After entering the Spirit Realm, Su Xing didn’t immediately head for the Spirit Clan ancestral grounds.
“What comes next will determine the course of the future… I must be careful and cautious!”
“So it’s better to run an immersive simulation first—that’s the safer approach!”
“One simulation won’t take more than a few minutes…”
“Besides, my cultivation should also be ready to break through to True Immortal Peak!”
Only by advancing his strength would Su Xing feel more secure.
He still had two simulation attempts remaining—he couldn’t afford to waste them.
With that thought, Su Xing silently intoned:
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #134 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 7,488,895 points… Remaining simulation attempts: 1.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 point of origin energy. Draw?】
“Yes!”
【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the gold talent Fortune Spring Divine Physique… Probability of drawing a gold talent next time: 80%…】
【Fortune Spring Divine Physique】: One of the Hundred Great Divine Physiques, and also the most envied constitution in the Three Thousand Worlds. Legend has it that cultivators possessing this physique can always easily obtain cultivation resources, granting the effect of attracting wealth and treasures.
“Hm? Fortune Spring Divine Physique…”
Su Xing glanced at the talent description, feeling a spark of anticipation.
“This talent’s effect seems to overlap somewhat with Heaven-Sent Fortune?”
“Wait… talent effects can apparently stack!”
“Doesn’t that mean… my chances of finding rare treasures and materials are even greater now?!”
Su Xing’s eyes lit up, silently acknowledging this was an excellent talent.
“Still, good as the talent is, I need to experience it firsthand… And more importantly, this simulation is really about dealing with Old Dog Dragon!”
With that thought, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【In the Spirit Realm, you become aware that you are in a simulation.】
【You release your divine sense and quickly detect the location of the Spirit Clan ancestral grounds, as well as a familiar figure within them…】
【At this moment, Luo Shuying is fleeing desperately, using the formations within the Spirit Clan ancestral grounds to fend off Old Dog Dragon’s pursuit…】
Seeing this, Su Xing’s heart stirred, and he silently intoned:
“Use immersive simulation, duration one day…”
【Ding! You have successfully activated immersive simulation. Remaining origin energy: 7,488,894 points…】
As the Chime faded, Su Xing’s consciousness entered the simulation world.
Upon entering the simulation, Su Xing didn’t hesitate. He immediately locked onto Luo Shuying’s position.
Then, with a few strides, profound spatial Dao essence swirled beneath his feet as he transformed into a streak of golden light, arriving at the Spirit Clan ancestral grounds in mere moments.
“Hold on just a little longer… I’ll be there soon!”
Su Xing thought to himself as the scene before his eyes shifted.
Soon, Su Xing appeared within the Spirit Clan ancestral grounds.
Before his eyes was nothing but fog, obscuring all visibility.
An ordinary person arriving here would surely lose their way.
But for Su Xing, this fog formation had no effect whatsoever.
Within the dense primordial forest, Luo Shuying’s figure darted ceaselessly through the trees.
Her form remained hidden within the black shadows, extremely well-concealed.
A hundred li (50 km) behind her, another figure was rapidly closing in on Luo Shuying.
It was none other than Old Dog Dragon!
At this moment, Old Dog Dragon wore a savage grin on his face:
“Hmph, Protector Shadow… you’ve been hiding yourself well! With abilities like yours… I’d wager few among the Legendary rank can match your speed.”
“But since you dared betray the Cult, today you’re as good as dead!”
“If you know what’s good for you, reveal whoever’s behind you… and the Cult Master will leave you an intact corpse!”
As he spoke, Old Dog Dragon rapidly closed in on Protector Shadow.
Though Luo Shuying was exceptionally skilled at evasion, her cultivation realm was ultimately far beneath Old Dog Dragon’s.
Just as Old Dog Dragon was about to seize Luo Shuying, a figure appeared before him.
Old Dog Dragon halted immediately, eyeing Su Xing warily as he asked in confusion:
“Who are you?”
Su Xing gazed at Old Dog Dragon with cold indifference, his eyes regarding the man as though he were already looking at a corpse.
“Weren’t you looking for me? Well… here I am, right in front of you.”
Old Dog Dragon’s expression shifted, but he quickly sneered:
“I’d like to see just how strong you are, that you dare oppose our Sacred Cult!”
With that, Old Dog Dragon sent his divine sense surging toward Su Xing.
In the next instant, Old Dog Dragon felt as though he had slammed into an immovable mountain, and his expression changed drastically.
“Run!”
In that moment, only one thought occupied Old Dog Dragon’s mind.
Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled, covering dozens of li in the blink of an eye.
Yet Su Xing merely stood in place, casually extending his right hand.
That palm seemed to pierce through endless space, directly dragging Old Dog Dragon back to where he stood.
Then, Su Xing performed a soul search on Old Dog Dragon.
Celestial Unity Realm divine sense was an utterly crushing force against Old Dog Dragon’s soul!
In a single instant, Old Dog Dragon lost all consciousness, reduced to a mindless husk.
After digesting Old Dog Dragon’s recent memories and soul, Su Xing casually erased what remained of his consciousness.
“Sigh, just as I feared… Old Dog Dragon did discover some clues, and so he reported it to Blood Three.”
Su Xing let out a sigh.
From the information gleaned through the soul search, one month ago, Old Dog Dragon had grown suspicious of Luo Shuying.
It happened to coincide with Old Dog Dragon’s scheduled intelligence report to Blood Three, so he had mentioned the matter in passing.
Blood Three’s reply was that Luo Shuying might have connections to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion!
Therefore, Blood Three wanted Old Dog Dragon to perform a soul search on Luo Shuying before reporting back with the intelligence!
If Su Xing killed Old Dog Dragon now, Blood Three would receive no report and would surely grow suspicious!
“Huh… Blood Three also used a spatial artifact to teleport several protective treasures to Old Dog Dragon?”
“So that’s why… no wonder Luo Shuying was no match for Old Dog Dragon…”
Su Xing looked at Old Dog Dragon, now reduced to a living corpse before him, and casually stored him in his spirit field grotto-heaven.
“This corpse of Old Dog Dragon might yet serve another purpose… It could be refined into a puppet!”
Su Xing mused.
The entire process had gone extraordinarily smoothly. Under absolute superiority of strength, Old Dog Dragon hadn’t had the slightest ability to resist.
But killing Old Dog Dragon was merely the prelude. The truly critical matter was how to deal with Red Moon and Blood Three going forward.
“What will be, will be…”
With a thought, Su Xing sent a thread of divine sense toward Luo Shuying in the distance.
Moments later, Luo Shuying appeared before Su Xing. She carefully scanned the surroundings, and upon seeing Su Xing, her heart leapt with joy as she hurried forward:
“Senior, you’ve come!”
Then, looking puzzled, Luo Shuying asked:
“Protector Dragon… doesn’t seem to be nearby?”
Su Xing chuckled lightly:
“Luo Shuying, you’re safe now… Protector Dragon has already been slain by me.”
Hearing Su Xing’s words, Luo Shuying immediately let out a long breath of relief and addressed Su Xing solemnly:
“Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!”
Su Xing waved his hand dismissively:
“It was nothing… Besides, you were caught up in this calamity because of me.”
Su Xing spoke of it lightly, not mentioning the chain reaction that rescuing Luo Shuying would set in motion.
He simply asked Luo Shuying:
“Does anyone else in the Advent Cult know that you’ve been discovered as a traitor?”
Luo Shuying shook her head:
“Only Protector Dragon should know… That’s why he was pursuing me in secret. But I detected him early and fled to this realm.”
Hearing Luo Shuying’s answer, Su Xing’s eyes brightened.
Only Old Dog Dragon knew!
Didn’t that mean Luo Shuying could still remain within the Advent Cult as an inside agent?
“No, wait—with Old Dog Dragon’s body… after refining it into a puppet, perhaps there’s an even better use for it!”
Su Xing stroked his chin thoughtfully.
With his current puppet-crafting skills, once Old Dog Dragon was refined into a puppet, it would be indistinguishable from a living person.
That way, Old Dog Dragon would still control the Advent Cult, yet he’d be working for Su Xing!
This meant Su Xing wouldn’t need to wage a large-scale campaign to destroy the Advent Cult.
If the commotion grew too large, the one above might notice…
“Excellent—this plan is viable!”
Su Xing silently affirmed, then turned to Luo Shuying:
“You’re safe from here on out. Protector Dragon will be refined into a puppet by me…”
“In a few days, I’ll need you to take me to the Advent Cult’s treasury…”
“But for now, let’s head back to Earth first…”
…
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the Real World.
“Whew, this operation went exceptionally smoothly!”
“Refining Old Dog Dragon into a puppet… that’s probably the best approach!”
With that thought, Su Xing could hardly wait to see how this new plan would play out.
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
【You bring Luo Shuying and safely return from the Spirit Realm to Earth.】
【Afterward, you spend several days refining Old Dog Dragon into a puppet and have him return to the Advent Cult.】
【The Advent Cult members notice nothing unusual… You have Old Dog Dragon bring Luo Shuying along to empty the Advent Cult’s treasury of all its treasures.】
【You obtain an astonishing trove of treasure…】
【For a period afterward, you keep Luo Shuying by your side while you begin preparing for the migration of humanity.】
【Having learned from the last time’s lessons, you proceed far more discreetly.】
【But the large-scale departure of human Class Users from Earth is bound to attract Red Moon’s attention.】
【Thus, after transferring the Great Xia Class Users to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm in batches, you swiftly relay intelligence about Red Moon to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion.】
【You inform the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master that Red Moon has already grown wary, and that the Advent Cult may deploy a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal!】
【Therefore, you hope the Celestial Secrets Pavilion can dispatch a Grand Luo Golden Immortal to eliminate Red Moon directly.】
【But this is clearly unrealistic.】
【A Grand Luo Golden Immortal of such stature would never act based on mere intelligence alone… and the Celestial Secrets Pavilion’s influence within the Azure Origin Domain is insufficient—at most, they could mobilize two Supreme Unity Golden Immortals.】
【Upon learning this, you let out a long sigh, knowing the situation cannot be salvaged.】
【And so, you accelerate the migration of Earth’s human population.】
【In the blink of an eye, three years pass…】
【In the third year, Earth’s human population has essentially been successfully migrated to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【This year, the Celestial Secrets Pavilion prepares to dispatch two Supreme Unity Golden Immortals to attempt an ambush on Red Moon…】
【You travel to the Azure Cloud Realm and obtain two cups of Dao-Enlightenment Tea from Qingyunzi.】
【In the eighth year, intelligence arrives from the Celestial Secrets Pavilion: the operation has failed. Both Supreme Unity Golden Immortals return gravely wounded!】
【Upon hearing this, you feel a secret surge of relief. Though Red Moon wasn’t destroyed, the Supreme Unity Golden Immortals survived… Red Moon’s power likely won’t recover as quickly this time!】
【However, you’ve underestimated Red Moon’s ruthlessness…】
【This incident has alerted Red Moon to the fact that its existence has been exposed.】
【Therefore, Red Moon swiftly sacrifices all living beings on Earth… On that day, a sky-blotting Amalgamated Beast swallows the entire planet.】
【Over the following years, several small worlds are consumed by Red Moon, and its power recovers rapidly…】
【In the twentieth year, you appear in Celestial Demon City and slay a number of red-eyed aliens, ensuring the Heavenly Abyss Army has a sufficient supply of Rebirth Pills.】
【The aliens’ strength, though somewhat greater than before, isn’t as terrifying as in the previous simulation.】
【You feel slightly relieved and continue cultivating in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【In the blink of an eye, thirty years pass…】
【In the fiftieth year, a turning point emerges on the Celestial Demon City front lines. Large numbers of alien True Gods appear, and Celestial Demon City struggles to hold…】
【But fortunately, the Heavenly Abyss Army takes action…】
