Though Protector Dragon’s strength was only at the Primordial Unity realm, his physical body was formidable, further bolstered by his Dragon Race bloodline.
Su Xing currently had no shortage of materials, and his puppet-crafting skills were more than sufficient. If he put in some effort, he could even refine the body into an Immortal realm puppet!
“With a puppet refined from Old Dog Dragon… it should be enough to secretly protect the two women!”
Su Xing thought to himself, then set about refining the puppet.
…
Three days later, in the spirit field grotto-heaven.
Su Xing looked at the puppet before him and nodded with satisfaction.
“Master!” The Old Dog Dragon puppet stood respectfully before Su Xing, its tone and demeanor indistinguishable from the original.
Even Advent Cult officers who were familiar with Old Dog Dragon wouldn’t be able to detect any discrepancy in the short term.
“Mm, very good… Next, I need you to take me to the Advent Cult treasury. No issues with that, right?”
Su Xing said casually.
Upon hearing this, Old Dog Dragon’s attitude grew even more respectful. “As you command, Master!”
Under Old Dog Dragon’s guidance, Su Xing headed to the instance where the Advent Cult treasury was located.
Passing through layer after layer of formations, Old Dog Dragon opened the treasury before a massive boulder.
The moment the formation activated, several voices suddenly rang out from nearby:
“Who goes there? Who dares open our Advent Cult treasury?”
Several elders guarding the treasury stepped forward. Upon seeing Old Dog Dragon before them, their attitudes immediately became respectful:
“Cult Leader, sir…”
Old Dog Dragon gave a slight nod and said:
“Recently, there have been traces of a mole within the Advent Cult… So I intend to relocate the treasury. You need not guard it for now.”
Hearing Old Dog Dragon’s words, the two elders raised no objections. They respectfully opened the treasury doors and departed from the instance.
Su Xing followed behind Old Dog Dragon and smoothly entered the Advent Cult treasury.
The moment they entered, Old Dog Dragon said respectfully:
“Master, the Advent Cult’s accumulation of thousands of years… is all within this treasury!”
“Would you like me to show you around?”
Su Xing shook his head slightly and said casually, “No need…”
Su Xing was quite familiar with this place. Across multiple immersive simulations, he had emptied this treasury every time.
He simply wasn’t sure of the treasury’s exact value.
The Advent Cult treasury was divided into different sections:
The equipment section contained all manner of bizarre items obtained from various instances, filling dozens of storage rings—worth a considerable sum.
The metal and ore section!
The treasure Su Xing valued most. Countless exotic metals ranging from first-order to fourth-order… filling over a hundred storage rings!
Su Xing even felt that the Advent Cult’s wealth was not far behind that of Great Xia itself…
There were also various rare natural treasures, equipment, cultivation techniques, and more. Some had been obtained from instances, while others were Old Dog Dragon’s personal wealth.
Perhaps it was because the Dragon Race possessed an innate compulsion to hoard treasure—this made the quantity of valuables within the Advent Cult astonishingly vast!
Su Xing even felt that the Advent Cult in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm might not be as wealthy as this!
“Tsk tsk… But all these treasures are mine now!”
A flash of excitement crossed Su Xing’s eyes. Without bothering to inspect anything, he swept the entire treasury clean in one go!
He didn’t even leave behind a single common-grade piece of equipment…
After finishing all this, Su Xing had Old Dog Dragon continue staying within the Advent Cult, with one condition—he must not respond to Blood Three’s communications.
After all, once they communicated, Blood Three would certainly discover that Old Dog Dragon had been turned into a puppet.
That could even cause Blood Three to arrive on Earth ahead of schedule… which would be disadvantageous for Su Xing!
…
April 30th, New Era 2026. Su Xing returned to the spirit field grotto-heaven, preparing to begin a new round of simulation.
But before that, Su Xing intended to convert all the resources obtained from the Advent Cult into origin energy!
Looking at the box full of storage rings before him, Su Xing’s eyes gleamed with excitement:
“Let me see just how much origin energy all this is worth…”
Su Xing willed it, and the simulator’s Chime sounded in his ears.
【Ding. Detected large quantity of substances containing origin energy. Total value: 10,247,396 points of origin energy… Absorb?】
Su Xing had never heard a more pleasant sound in his life!
All of the Advent Cult’s exotic metals, common-grade equipment, and items combined were worth over ten million origin energy!
This amount of origin energy was even enough to exchange for a Spirit Vein Dragon!
Of course, the simulator’s method of calculating energy had little to do with an item’s rarity or power.
Otherwise, all this junk combined wouldn’t come close to a single breath of spiritual energy from a Spirit Vein Dragon!
But the thing was—sheer quantity made up for it!
The entire Advent Cult’s accumulation on Earth over thousands of years, combined with Old Dog Dragon’s hoarding nature…
This gave Su Xing the single largest windfall he had ever received!
“A full ten million origin energy… It’s even enough for me to break through to Golden Immortal!”
Su Xing was so excited his entire body was trembling.
At the Mystic Immortal realm, breaking through a single sub-realm required a million origin energy… Ten sub-realms meant exactly ten million!
If Su Xing relied on himself alone, even half a year’s time might not be enough to accumulate this ten million origin energy!
But now, a single raid on the Advent Cult treasury had netted Su Xing this enormous fortune!
Adding the six-million-plus origin energy Su Xing already had on hand, his total energy reserves approached sixteen million five hundred thousand!
This was more than enough for Su Xing to break through to Golden Immortal…
“Stay calm, keep a cool head…”
“Even though I have the origin energy, I still need to break through to the Mystic Immortal realm as soon as possible!”
Su Xing took a deep breath and steadied himself.
He had rescued Luo Shuying and slain Old Dog Dragon.
This meant Su Xing had already entered the sights of Blood Three and the Advent Cult!
In the future, Su Xing’s enemies would be the entire Advent Cult, and perhaps even that Red Moon in the sky!
Therefore, Su Xing had to raise his cultivation as quickly as possible… Only then would he have enough confidence to face what was coming!
This windfall of ten million origin energy was undoubtedly a timely lifeline, giving Su Xing much-needed breathing room.
“So next, I must break through to the Mystic Immortal realm as soon as possible!”
Su Xing contemplated for a moment.
Currently, he had already condensed the first of the Five Qi within his chest.
Based on his previous pace, at most two more simulations would allow him to successfully condense all Five Qi within his chest, achieving the Five Qi converging upon the origin.
Then he could push through in one surge and break through to the Mystic Immortal realm!
“And right now… I happen to have exactly two simulation attempts remaining!”
With this thought, Su Xing hesitated no longer and prepared to begin a new round of simulation.
“Breaking through to the Mystic Immortal realm—it happens today!”
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #135 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 16,561,345 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 Artisan’s Deft Hands… Probability of drawing a gold talent next time: 80%…】
【Artisan’s Deft Hands】: Gold talent. You possess nimble and dexterous hands. Your talent in the Dao of Puppetry is greatly enhanced, allowing you to easily forge high-quality puppets.
“Hm? This talent…”
Su Xing raised an eyebrow. This talent seemed to relate to the Dao of Puppetry among the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.
Currently, Su Xing’s Dao of Puppetry was already quite respectable.
Ever since receiving Ghost Granny’s enlightenment transmission, with sufficient materials, Su Xing could even refine puppets comparable to Celestial Immortals!
And now, with this gold talent, didn’t that mean… Su Xing could refine even higher-level puppets?
“Tsk tsk… This talent isn’t bad at all! Though I don’t seem to need it at the moment…”
Su Xing decided to keep it in reserve. For now, raising his cultivation was the priority—there was no rush to refine puppets until the need arose.
“Alright then, full speed ahead on cultivation!”
Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you realized you were in a simulation.】
【After making brief preparations, you traveled to Great Xia to arrange the migration of the human race.】
【You acted with extreme secrecy, spending two years migrating the majority of humans from Earth to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【That same year, you visited the Celestial Secrets Pavilion and shared intelligence about Red Moon.】
【After completing all this, you left things as they were and traveled to the Azure Cloud Sect to trade with Qingyunzi.】
【After the trade concluded, you successfully obtained two cups of Dao-Enlightenment Tea.】
【You decided to observe what fate would befall the Azure Origin Domain without your intervention.】
【In the third year, rather than returning to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, you traveled throughout the Azure Origin Domain, seeking scattered Luotian legacies.】
【Thus, forty-seven years passed…】
【In the fiftieth year, you had traveled through most of the Azure Origin Domain and found over a hundred scattered Luotian legacies.】
【You then traveled to the Tianyuan Realm to gather information about recent foreign race activity in the Azure Origin Domain.】
【From the Celestial Secrets Pavilion’s intelligence, you learned that the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm was suffering severe foreign race invasion. In at most fifty more years, it would fall completely.】
【Upon hearing this, you felt a pang of emotion. Against the overwhelming might of the foreign races, without a powerful cultivator’s intervention, a single lesser chiliocosm simply couldn’t stand alone.】
【But you had no intention of intervening in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm’s fate. Instead, you remained in the Tianyuan Realm, preparing to condense the liver-wood qi in one decisive push.】
【You found a secluded location rich in spiritual energy within the Tianyuan Realm and began closed-door cultivation.】
【In the hundredth year, you successfully emerged from seclusion, having condensed the second of the Five Qi within your chest—the liver-wood qi!】
【After condensing the liver-wood qi, your rate of immortal power recovery was greatly enhanced, granting you the ability to sustain prolonged combat.】
【After making brief preparations, you decided to travel to the Nine Heavens Domain and begin comprehending the Great Dao…】
【You successfully arrived at the Fifth Heaven and entered closed-door cultivation within the Secret Realm.】
In the Real World, upon seeing this, Su Xing murmured:
“Activate immersive simulation, duration sixty years…”
【Ding. You have successfully activated immersive simulation… Remaining origin energy: 16,539,445 points…】
As the simulator’s Chime faded, Su Xing’s consciousness entered the simulated world.
Without hesitation, Su Xing immediately began comprehending the Great Dao of Thunder.
…
In the blink of an eye, thirty-six years passed!
Having drunk both cups of Dao-Enlightenment Tea, under the boost of several hundredfold comprehension enhancement, Su Xing successfully advanced the Great Dao of Thunder to the fourth realm!
With this, among all the Great Daos Su Xing had mastered, only the Great Dao of Strength and the Great Dao of Killing remained at the second realm.
“Phew… But those two Daos won’t contribute much to my overall power for now…”
“Next, I should prioritize advancing one of my Daos to the fifth realm!”
Su Xing contemplated. Currently, he had many options.
Cause and effect and destiny, space and speed… the Five Elements Dao, the Great Dao of the Sword, and the Great Dao of Thunder were all candidates for reaching the fifth realm.
But Su Xing had to make choices…
“The Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny—if I successfully advance it to the fifth realm… my ability to conceal my karmic aura would be greatly enhanced, significantly improving my safety…”
“But even at the fifth realm, it probably still wouldn’t be enough to hide from Qingyunzi…”
“Moreover, the Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny is the most difficult and requires the most time. It’s not worth pursuing for now!”
After a pause, Su Xing continued:
“Comparatively, the Dao of Space and the Dao of Speed are the most useful to me!”
“Comprehending these two Daos would further increase my escape speed… Not only would my safety improve dramatically, but in the Real World, I could also travel to more distant worlds to search for Luotian hidden caches.”
“Then there’s the Great Dao of the Sword and the Five Elements Dao, which would provide the greatest boost to my combat power!”
“I possess the Five Elements Holy Physique, so comprehending the Five Elements Dao shouldn’t be difficult… As for the Great Dao of the Sword, I could perhaps travel to the Heavenly Secrets Domain and seek White Emperor’s guidance for rapid comprehension…”
After some deliberation, Su Xing decided to prioritize the Great Dao of Speed!
Once the Great Dao of Speed reached the fifth realm… Su Xing could quickly travel to the Yellow Sand Realm or the Black Water Realm and acquire massive amounts of origin energy!
He might even be able to reach the more distant Star Realm. With the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method, Su Xing could certainly trade for large quantities of Star Stones!
With this decided, Su Xing retrieved dozens of Dao essence treasures related to the Great Dao of Speed and began his comprehension.
…
The immersive simulation ended. Back in the Real World.
Su Xing slowly opened his eyes as memories gradually flooded his mind.
“Phew… The fifth realm of the Great Dao really is difficult!”
“Reaching the fifth realm of the Great Dao already counts as having truly entered the hall of mastery… One step further, and one could comprehend the True Realm of the Dao!”
“The fifth realm of the Great Dao—worthy of being a level that only Golden Immortals can comprehend… The time required is simply too immense!”
Su Xing sighed with emotion.
In this simulation, he had used the final cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea’s eighteen years of enhanced comprehension, along with one Inevitable Epiphany opportunity, all on comprehending the Great Dao of Speed. Yet he had only reached the early stage of the fourth realm—still far too distant from the fifth realm…
By Su Xing’s conservative estimate, pushing the Great Dao of Speed to the fifth realm would require seventy to eighty thousand years of contemplation!
Seventy to eighty thousand years—what kind of concept was that?
A True Immortal’s entire lifespan was only one hundred and twenty thousand years…
Merely comprehending a single Great Dao would consume the better part of one’s entire cultivation career.
It was no wonder — the fifth realm of a Great Dao required a Golden Immortal’s level of comprehension to grasp…
Even a Mystic Immortal wouldn’t have enough lifespan to fully comprehend it!
“And this is only because the Great Dao of Speed is relatively moderate… If it were some other top-tier Great Dao, stepping into the fifth realm would probably take one to two hundred thousand years!”
Su Xing made a rough estimate. A single immersive simulation was roughly equivalent to fifteen thousand years of comprehension.
That meant he would need at least four or five more immersive simulations before he could advance the Great Dao of Speed into the fifth realm!
“Dao comprehension… seems a bit too difficult!”
“Is there any other way… to increase the speed of Dao comprehension?”
Su Xing pondered for a moment.
Currently, the methods Su Xing knew of for improving Dao comprehension were essentially two.
First, consuming heavenly treasures like Dao-Enlightenment Tea to boost Dao comprehension speed.
Second, finding a higher-grade Dao essence treasure!
Dao essence treasures also came in different grades…
The higher the grade, the faster one could comprehend the Dao!
For example, the innate Fusang tree branch in Su Xing’s possession was far superior to the previous Vermilion Bird tail feather.
The speed of Dao comprehension through it was several times that of the Vermilion Bird tail feather.
Thinking of this, Su Xing stroked his chin:
“However, there seem to be other methods…”
Su Xing thought of his purple talent, Wisdom in Foolishness!
By accumulating time spent in a state of foolishness, one could dramatically boost comprehension ability during a certain period!
At purple quality, Wisdom in Foolishness could boost comprehension by up to three times…
But what if he used Plus One to upgrade it to gold quality?
“When I have time later… perhaps I can give it a try. As long as the boost is sixfold or higher, for pure Dao comprehension, Wisdom in Foolishness would be more effective than Late Bloomer!”
Su Xing planned to wait until his cultivation was sufficiently advanced and his origin energy reserves were running low, then specifically focus on boosting his Dao comprehension — perhaps there would be a pleasant surprise.
“But for now, the priority is still advancing to Mystic Immortal…”
“Counting the time, it should be about right to prepare to depart for the Heavenly Secrets Domain!”
Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.
【Year 160: You departed the Nine Heavens Domain, preparing to travel to the South Sea Realm.】
【Upon returning to the Azure Origin Domain, you learned that the alien invasion of the Azure Origin Domain had become extremely severe.】
【The Lesser Azure Cloud Realm had been destroyed decades ago, while the Black Water Realm and Yellow Sand Realm had also been occupied by aliens in recent years… Currently, the Star Realm was engulfed in war.】
【However, human cultivators had begun organizing the Human Alliance to resist the aliens…】
【In this simulation, you had no intention of getting involved, and instead swiftly made your way to the South Sea Realm.】
【Year 180: You purchased supplies in the South Sea Realm, preparing to cross the Endless Sea.】
【After over forty years of void travel, following your previous route and passing through three void nodes, you crossed the Endless Sea without major incident…】
【Year 220: You arrived at the Heavenly Secrets Domain.】
【Your landing point was not far from the White Cloud Realm. You planned to enter seclusion in the White Cloud Realm and await the birth of the Bai siblings.】
【Taking advantage of this time, you began condensing the third of the Five Qi within the chest — the kidney-water qi!】
【The heart-fire qi and lung-metal qi had greatly amplified your spell power, but required the kidney-water qi to balance them, ensuring your techniques and immortal power wouldn’t develop problems.】
【And so, over the next sixty years, you cultivated in seclusion within the White Cloud Realm, comprehending kidney-water qi.】
【Year 280: You traveled to White Cloud City and met the Bai siblings.】
【Afterward, you became the Bai siblings’ master, helping them cultivate rapidly.】
【Meanwhile, the situation in the Heavenly Secrets Domain deteriorated rapidly.】
【Year 300: The White Cloud Realm was massively invaded by aliens and could not be defended.】
【You guided the Bai siblings to join the Celestial Secrets Pavilion and travel to the Celestial Secrets Realm alongside Xiao Zhanlong.】
【Over the next twenty years, you cultivated aboard the immortal vessel, quietly awaiting that certain event.】
【Year 320: The alien army ambushed the vessel, intending to annihilate all the young cultivator seedlings aboard…】
【At the critical moment, the White Emperor struck!】
【In this heaven-shaking battle, you witnessed the White Emperor’s sword technique, and your comprehension of the Sword Dao surged dramatically!】
【In this battle, you also took action, displaying strength far beyond an ordinary Mystic Immortal, ranking fifty-second on the Earth Ranking…】
【Additionally, because you assisted the White Emperor, you received his promise of future guidance, as well as the White Emperor’s communication jade slip.】
【Year 330: The immortal vessel safely arrived at the Celestial Secrets Realm.】
【You became an outer-pavilion Elder of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion. Apart from completing necessary missions, you spent most of your time cultivating in the Celestial Secrets Realm.】
In the Real World, Su Xing murmured upon seeing this:
“Although Red Moon’s incident caused some minor changes… the overall trajectory hasn’t shifted, just delayed somewhat…”
“But…”
Su Xing thought of the Bai siblings’ mother who had returned from the dead.
“This time, Red Moon isn’t in the Heavenly Secrets Domain… Will the situation there improve?”
“I hope that within the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, I can safely cultivate for a longer period…”
With a hint of anticipation in his heart, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
【You condensed kidney-water qi in the Celestial Secrets Realm, and in the blink of an eye, over a hundred more years passed…】
【Year 450: You were only one step away from successfully condensing kidney-water qi, so you decided to enter seclusion for the final push.】
【Year 480: You successfully emerged from seclusion, having condensed the third of the Five Qi within the chest.】
【The condensation of kidney-water qi made your immortal power more balanced. Although its quality hadn’t improved, your immortal power became extremely stable.】
【Year 500: The Bai siblings’ mother still had not appeared.】
【From this, you concluded that Mother Bai had indeed died long ago, and what you witnessed in the previous simulation was likely Red Moon’s doing.】
【Having cultivated in the Celestial Secrets Realm for nearly two hundred years, you had also visited Celestial Secrets City several times.】
【However, over those two hundred years, you had never once seen the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master.】
【You wished to consult the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master about resolving the flaws of One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, but could not manage to meet him.】
【Perhaps only by reaching first place on the Earth Ranking could you find the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master and gain an audience.】
【Over the past century, the alien invasion of the Heavenly Secrets Domain had continued to deepen. The aliens grew bolder, with small worlds falling to them nearly every year.】
【For the sake of caution, you only accepted missions near the Celestial Secrets Realm, and performed divinations repeatedly before each mission — abandoning it at the first sign of trouble.】
【Under this approach, you cultivated safely.】
【Year 520: You began attempting to condense lung-metal qi.】
【Among the Five Qi within the chest, heart-fire qi was the most perilous to condense, so you decided to save it for last, attempting it only when you had greater certainty…】
【You didn’t have many metal-attribute heavenly treasures on hand.】
【Therefore, you could only begin accepting missions to earn Celestial Secrets Pavilion contributions, exchanging them for sufficient metal-element treasures.】
【Over the next century, you collected treasures while simultaneously condensing lung-metal qi.】
【Year 550: Your Spirit Domain range expanded to six thousand zhang (19.98 km)!】
【Over the next fifty years, you consumed Dao-Hearing Pills annually, and your Spirit Domain range grew further…】
【Year 600: Your Spirit Domain range increased to six thousand six hundred zhang (21.98 km).】
【That year, your supply of Dao-Hearing Pills ran out, and the growth of your Spirit Domain slowed. You continued condensing the Five Qi within the chest.】
【Year 610: The first wisp of lung-metal qi was successfully condensed.】
【After this, you felt the power of your techniques and supernatural arts increase by more than twofold!】
【With progress on condensing the Five Qi within the chest, you continued going out on missions.】
【According to Celestial Secrets Pavilion intelligence, no fewer than a thousand worlds across the entire Heavenly Secrets Domain had been invaded by aliens, including dozens of lesser chiliocosms.】
【The Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master did not appear, and the White Emperor did not launch a major counteroffensive against the aliens, maintaining only a defensive posture with counterattacks.】
【Time quickly reached Year 700…】
【That year, you finally succeeded in condensing lung-metal qi. Of the Five Qi within your chest, only the final heart-fire qi remained.】
【And the innate Fusang tree branch in your possession was the perfect treasure for condensing heart-fire qi.】
【Thus, you settled into the Celestial Secrets Realm to condense the final Qi.】
【A century passed in the blink of an eye…】
【Year 800: You suddenly received orders — all outer-pavilion Elders must deploy for missions to prevent the alien invasion.】
【The aliens were about to launch a major offensive, and the Celestial Secrets Pavilion’s forces, led by the White Emperor, would intercept the aliens outside a lesser chiliocosm.】
【You were close to condensing the first wisp of heart-fire qi, but the mission was urgent and you had no choice but to go.】
【Moreover, with the White Emperor leading, there shouldn’t be any major problems…】
【And so, over a thousand Celestial Secrets Pavilion Elders and tens of thousands of Celestial Secrets Pavilion disciples followed the White Emperor to the front lines to fight the aliens.】
【The alien forces exceeded your imagination.】
【Not only had Blood Two fully recovered his strength, but there were also over a thousand alien Divine Sovereigns…】
【This battle was devastatingly fierce. Over half of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Elders perished, while the White Emperor singlehandedly slew three first-class alien Divine Sovereigns comparable to Supreme Unity!】
【You originally thought this battle would bring a century of peace…】
【But you never expected that this war was only the beginning!】
【Over the following years, the aliens accelerated their invasion…】
【Year 850: You successfully condensed the first wisp of heart-fire qi. You were now ever closer to fully condensing the Five Qi within the chest.】
【That same year, while fighting on the front lines, you were ambushed by a second-class Divine Sovereign alien.】
【With your strength, you were no match, but your extreme speed allowed you to narrowly escape…】
【However, the alien pursued relentlessly. You were forced to flee to a lesser chiliocosm to heal your wounds.】
【Year 900: Your injuries healed, and your heart-fire qi progressed further — full condensation was not far off.】
【One day, your talent Blessed by Fortune sent frantic warnings.】
【The next day, Blood Two found you…】
【He claimed he sensed a familiar aura on you — the inheritance of the Luotian Sect…】
【Blood Two performed a soul search on you. You had no power to resist.】
【Your consciousness gradually faded… You died!】
【Ding! This simulation has ended!】
After the simulation ended, Su Xing furrowed his brows tightly.
“The situation in the Three Thousand Worlds… has deteriorated to this extent?”
“That great battle in Year 800… both the human and alien sides must have gone all out. The outcome is hard to call… but even with the White Emperor taking action, they still couldn’t achieve victory?”
Nearly half of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion’s Elders had fallen, and the aliens had also lost several first-class Divine Sovereigns.
The battle should have been evenly matched…
But the problem was, the humans couldn’t afford a war of attrition!
The human race’s top fighting power was scattered across various worlds and domains, making it difficult to concentrate.
Unless all the powerful cultivators could be gathered in one place, there would be no chance of a counteroffensive.
“Sigh, and Blood Two… He actually knew I inherited Luo Tian’s legacy. He must have learned it from Blood Three?”
“As long as I go out on missions, there’s danger… but with my status, I can’t just stay in the Celestial Secrets Realm forever…”
“Oh well, nine hundred years of simulation — the harvest this time is already enormous!”
“The Five Qi within the chest have reached the final step. As long as I condense heart-fire qi and achieve Five Qi converging upon the origin, I can successfully break through to the Mystic Immortal realm!”
A flash of excitement passed through Su Xing’s eyes as he eagerly looked at the reward list.
【Artisan’s Deft Hands】: Gold talent. Price: 10 origin energy.
【Half-Step Mystic Immortal Realm】: Cultivation has reached True Immortal Perfection with the Five Qi within the chest being condensed. Currently, spleen-earth, liver-wood, lung-metal, and kidney-water qi have been condensed. Only the final heart-fire qi remains before Five Qi converging upon the origin… and advancing to Mystic Immortal! Price: 1,000,000 origin energy.
【Spirit Domain Cultivation Results】: Upon selection, comprehension of the Spirit Domain dramatically increases. Personal Spirit Domain coverage reaches 7,000 zhang (23.31 km). Within the Spirit Domain, spell and supernatural art power is greatly amplified, and Dao comprehension can be applied at will. Price: 200,000 origin energy.
【Sword Grand Dao Comprehension】: Insights gained from observing Sword Immortal White Emperor’s sword techniques and sword intent. Upon claiming, Sword Dao comprehension dramatically increases. Price: 100,000 origin energy.
Looking at the simulation rewards before him, Su Xing didn’t hesitate for a moment and silently intoned:
“I choose to bring out the Half-Step Mystic Immortal cultivation… and the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results!”
【You have successfully brought out Spirit Domain Cultivation Results. Cost: 200,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 16,339,445…】
【You have successfully brought out Half-Step Mystic Immortal Realm cultivation. Cost: 1,000,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 15,339,445…】
As two Chimes fell in succession, two streams of profound energy surged into Su Xing’s body.
Su Xing felt the immortal power within his body undergo tremendous transformation in mere moments!
Liver-wood qi increased Su Xing’s immortal power recovery speed by over threefold!
Kidney-water qi made Su Xing’s immortal power balanced and stable, allowing him to release techniques and supernatural arts with perfect precision.
Heart-fire and lung-metal qi boosted the power of Su Xing’s immortal power by over fivefold!
After carefully sensing the changes within his body, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and murmured:
“So this… is the might that a Mystic Immortal possesses. Though I haven’t reached Mystic Immortal, I’m practically just one step away!”
“In other words, all that remains is Five Qi converging upon the origin, the sublimation of immortal power… and I’ll enjoy a lifespan spanning several cosmic cycles, wielding the might of a Mystic Immortal!”
A flash of excitement gleamed in Su Xing’s eyes.
Beyond the cultivation advancement, Su Xing’s Spirit Domain had also expanded further to seven thousand zhang (23.31 km).
The Major Mastery threshold of ten thousand zhang (33.3 km) for the Spirit Domain… was drawing ever closer!
This meant that Su Xing’s overall strength was gradually approaching that of a Golden Immortal.
“Not bad. If I can comprehend a powerful Great Dao, perhaps I could even contend with a Golden Immortal for a round or two?”
A hint of anticipation stirred in Su Xing’s heart.
“Right now, I still have one simulation attempt remaining!”
“This is the perfect chance to ride the momentum and break through to Mystic Immortal!”
Without hesitation, Su Xing silently intoned:
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #136 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 15,339,445… Remaining simulation attempts: 0.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 origin energy. Draw?】
“Yes!”
【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the gold talent Heart of the Strong… Probability of drawing a gold talent next time: 80%…】
