Chapter 385 – Entering the Fifth Heaven Again, the Secret of the Spirit Domain!

Chapter 385 – Entering the Fifth Heaven Again, the Secret of the Spirit Domain!

In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded:

“The blood essence of the alien race isn’t much worse than that of demonic beasts — it’s just more volatile. If it isn’t refined into pills, ordinary cultivators can’t consume it.”

“But my Heaven Devourer talent happens to let me perfectly absorb blood essence.”

“This means every alien is essentially a walking cultivation resource…”

Back before Su Xing had achieved immortality, he had consumed demonic beast blood essence in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, greatly boosting his body tempering strength.

Later, when cultivating the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, each stage required different auxiliary materials, which relatively diminished the importance of blood essence.

But now, for Su Xing, blood essence was the most abundant tonic available!

It could strengthen his qi and blood, and advance his cultivation.

After all, while heavenly treasures were excellent, they were expensive and ultimately limited in quantity.

But the blood essence of the alien race was practically inexhaustible.

“However… I’ve already reached the fifth layer of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art. Consuming Mystic Immortal-level blood essence probably won’t have much effect…”

“It’s a shame I’m still no match for a second-rank alien Divine Sovereign — otherwise my cultivation would advance even faster.”

After a pause, Su Xing continued:

“Consuming one jin (500 g) of blood essence per day… I’d need to kill at least one or two alien Divine Sovereigns per year to keep up with my cultivation needs!”

“I just hope I won’t encounter too much danger while carrying out missions…”

Su Xing understood the principle that fortune favors the bold, but when hunting those alien Divine Sovereigns, caution was still necessary.

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

【In year four hundred, you began accepting missions to hunt alien Divine Sovereigns.】

【In recent years, the alien race has been continuously invading the worlds of the Heavenly Secrets Domain, with small worlds falling almost every year…】

【Although the human race has not yet gone to all-out war, they have been organizing small-scale counterattacks.】

【Within the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, there were numerous missions to hunt alien Divine Sovereigns and save various small worlds.】

【These missions not only came with detailed intelligence and allowed you to keep everything you obtained from the hunt, but the Celestial Secrets Pavilion would also provide an additional sum of contribution points, redeemable for cultivation resources.】

【Previously, being cautious by nature and worried about alien ambushes, you rarely accepted such missions.】

【But now, for the sake of advancing your cultivation, you had no choice but to take certain risks.】

【Over the next three months, you accepted three missions to hunt alien Divine Sovereigns.】

【For each mission, you carefully selected your targets and personally investigated the intelligence to prevent any surprises.】

【In year four hundred and one, you officially began hunting alien Divine Sovereigns.】

【The targets you selected were all third-rank Divine Sovereigns, comparable to Mystic Immortals…】

【But for you, if you went all out, these Divine Sovereigns couldn’t even last more than a hundred rounds.】

【In the blink of an eye, a year passed…】

【Over this year, you successfully completed three missions to hunt alien Divine Sovereigns, obtaining over three hundred jin (150 kg) of blood essence!】

【This blood essence was enough for a year of cultivation, so you temporarily focused on training…】

【In year four hundred and three, after consuming over three hundred jin (150 kg) of blood essence, your cultivation and physical body improved further.】

【Having tasted success, you began accepting missions on a large scale to hunt aliens.】

【In the blink of an eye, over a hundred years passed.】

【In year five hundred, after a century of hunting, you had killed over two hundred alien Divine Sovereigns in total!】

【The blood essence you harvested continuously strengthened your physical body.】

【Although you had not yet reached the Minor Mastery stage of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art’s fifth layer, your physical body had grown nearly twenty percent stronger compared to a century ago.】

【At the same time, over this century of hunting aliens, you had accumulated enough contribution points and decided to redeem some Golden Immortal-level blood essence.】

【The merit you had accumulated over the century allowed you to redeem approximately five hundred jin (250 kg) of second-rank Divine Sovereign blood essence.】

【Having obtained such a massive cache of resources, you decided to enter seclusion for a period.】

【Second-rank Divine Sovereign blood essence had effects comparable to Golden Immortal-level demonic beasts…】

【With your physical body and digestive capacity, you could only consume it once every three days, half a jin (250 g) at most per serving.】

【But even so, the effects of this blood essence were several times greater than before!】

【Over the next ten full years, you completely digested all the blood essence.】

【In year five hundred and ten, your physical strength had grown terrifyingly, approximately thirty percent stronger than ten years prior!】

【You knew in your heart that this was because it was your first time consuming such high-grade blood essence… As you consumed more in the future and your cultivation continued to grow, the effects would certainly not be this impressive…】

【You had taken a great stride toward Minor Mastery of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art’s fifth layer!】

Su Xing watched the text before him and nodded with satisfaction.

“The growth of physical strength cannot be overlooked!”

“In a hundred years, my overall combat power has increased by at least twenty percent…”

“If I can successfully reach the fifth layer’s Minor Mastery, what terrifying level will my physical body reach?”

“Tearing through the void with my bare body, traversing the void — it’s not just a dream!”

Su Xing felt a certain longing in his heart.

Although he could already traverse the void, he still couldn’t remain in the void for extended periods without being affected by his physical body alone.

And tearing through the void with one’s bare body — that was just plain cool!

“If I cultivate the Great Shaman Body Forging Art to the fifth layer’s Perfection, with my physical body, perhaps I could attempt to enter the Celestial Demon Prison…”

“There are still three hundred years left. I wonder if my physical body can successfully break through to the fifth layer’s Minor Mastery?”

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

【After successfully reaching Minor Mastery of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art’s fifth layer, you continued executing missions in the Heavenly Secrets Domain, hunting alien Divine Sovereigns.】

【Thus, thirty years passed…】

【In year seven hundred and thirty, your frequent hunting of alien Divine Sovereigns finally drew their attention!】

【A full ten third-rank alien Divine Sovereigns joined forces to eliminate you!】

【This was the most difficult victory you had ever fought.】

【Although the alien Divine Sovereigns were very powerful, through your constant consumption of blood essence, your strength had long since become incomparable to before!】

【Below Golden Immortal, few could catch your eye…】

【Your supremely powerful body gave you extraordinary endurance and recovery… Combined with Five Qi converging upon the origin, your spiritual energy recovered rapidly.】

【You battled these ten alien Divine Sovereigns for a full two and a half years. In the end, at the cost of severe injuries to yourself, you slaughtered all ten!】

【After this battle, your name resounded throughout the Heavenly Secrets Domain!】

【You were hailed as the strongest below Golden Immortal across the Three Thousand Worlds…】

【At the same time, you ascended the Prodigy List’s Earth Ranking, placing fiftieth!】

【Although this was only one position higher than before, it meant you already possessed strength approaching that of a Golden Immortal!】

【After all, the top forty-nine on the Prodigy List had all defeated a Golden Immortal head-on… The fact that you achieved such a ranking merely by killing Mystic Immortal-level enemies showed just how sensational this feat was.】

【After this battle, you returned to the Celestial Secrets Realm to quietly recover and cultivate.】

【In the blink of an eye, another sixty years passed…】

【In year eight hundred, the Celestial Secrets Pavilion declared all-out war against the alien race, beginning to organize large numbers of cultivators for a decisive battle.】

【As an Elder of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, you had no reason to refuse and had to join this war.】

【Normally, with the White Emperor leading and your own cautious nature, there shouldn’t have been much danger…】

【But this time was different from before!】

【Your reputation in the Celestial Secrets Realm was already quite prominent, and coupled with your profession of hunting alien Divine Sovereigns…】

【As soon as the war began, numerous alien Divine Sovereigns had their eyes on you… This put extraordinary pressure on you on the battlefield!】

【But with your full strength, you were virtually invincible below the Golden Immortal level, so although the fighting was somewhat difficult, your life was never truly in danger.】

【But in the third year of the war, the situation changed…】

【In year eight hundred and three, despite your constant caution, the aliens truly had No Martial Virtue and ultimately dispatched two second-rank Divine Sovereigns to encircle you!】

【Had it been just one, you might have had a chance to escape… But against two second-rank Divine Sovereigns, there was nowhere to run…】

【You were killed by the combined forces of the two alien Divine Sovereigns…】

【You died!】

【Ding, this simulation has ended!】

After the simulation ended, Su Xing was momentarily stunned.

This simulation had ended far too abruptly!

According to Su Xing’s expectations, he should have been able to simulate at least around nine hundred years…

Yet he had barely passed the eight-hundred-year mark before dying!

“As expected… I still can’t be too high-profile!”

“Even when hunting aliens… I should conceal my identity!”

“That way, on future battlefields, I won’t be targeted…”

Su Xing sighed. This premature death had cost him a hundred years of cultivation!

“Ah well, it doesn’t matter… The goals of this simulation were more or less achieved!”

“It’s time to choose my rewards!”

Su Xing didn’t dwell on it. After all, each simulation left him stronger than the last.

Sooner or later, Su Xing would be able to defeat a Golden Immortal — and that day was approaching fast!

Su Xing turned his gaze to the rewards list.

【Spiritual Perceiver】: Purple talent, priced at 10 origin energy points.

【Mystic Immortal Realm, Fourth Layer】: Condense the five qi within the chest; with Five Qi converging upon the origin, one may ascend to the rank of Mystic Immortal! After eight hundred years of cultivation, you barely stepped into mid-stage Mystic Immortal. Price: 1,000,000 origin energy.

【Spirit Domain Cultivation Results】: Upon selection, your comprehension of the Spirit Domain greatly increases. Your Spirit Domain coverage reaches 8,800 zhang (29.3 km). Within the Spirit Domain, the power of spells and supernatural arts is greatly amplified, and Dao comprehension can be applied at will. Price: 180,000 origin energy.

【Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer】: An ancient Wu Clan body tempering secret art, cultivated to the fifth layer’s Minor Mastery. Comparable to a mid-stage Mystic Immortal. Physical body can tear through the void. Your aura has begun to gradually form a “battle domain.” Price: 3,000,000 origin energy.

“This simulation didn’t trigger Heart of the Strong, but my Qi Refining cultivation did barely break through to the Mystic Immortal realm’s fourth layer… However, if I were to bring that out, it wouldn’t quite be worth it!”

Looking at the rewards before him, Su Xing didn’t deliberate long and murmured:

“I choose to bring out the Great Shaman Body Forging Art’s Minor Mastery… and the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results!”

【Ding, you have successfully brought out Spirit Domain Cultivation Results. Cost: 180,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 15,875,772 points…】

【You have successfully brought out Great Shaman Body Forging Art Minor Mastery cultivation. Cost: 3,000,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 12,875,772 points…】

As two notification chimes sounded in succession, Su Xing’s physical body began to transform, and a flood of insights surged into his mind.

From entry-level to Minor Mastery of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art’s fifth layer, Su Xing’s physical body had grown over three times stronger!

This was an all-encompassing enhancement — from qi and blood to recovery, from raw strength to endurance!

On top of that, Su Xing’s Spirit Domain had expanded from seven thousand zhang (23.31 km) to eight thousand eight hundred zhang (29.3 km).

“Whew… From this simulation, my overall combat power has increased by at least fifty percent!”

“If I face that alien Divine Sovereign again, I shouldn’t be in such a sorry state…”

Su Xing’s lips curled upward. His strength was constantly improving, but that second-rank alien Divine Sovereign’s power had stagnated.

What could it possibly use to compete with Su Xing?

Now, what Su Xing worried about was actually the opposite — that the alien Divine Sovereign wouldn’t be able to kill him, and thus couldn’t create a life-or-death crisis… which meant it wouldn’t trigger Heart of the Strong!

“Whew… At this rate, in at most two more simulations, that Divine Sovereign won’t be able to kill me… By then, I’ll need to find a new opportunity to trigger Heart of the Strong!”

Su Xing shook his head slightly. It would be a shame to lose such a golden opportunity to exploit.

“But cultivation must keep advancing — I can’t stagnate… After I kill that second-rank Divine Sovereign, I’ll just find a new source of pressure…”

Su Xing didn’t dwell on it.

He still had three simulation attempts remaining. Running them back to back, Su Xing wanted to see just how far he could push his strength!

And so, after briefly adapting to his increased cultivation, Su Xing silently chanted:

“Begin simulation!”

【Simulation #138 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 12,875,772 points… Remaining simulation attempts: 2.】

【Simulation begins!】

【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 origin energy point. Draw?】

“Yes!”

【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the gold talent Rock Divine Physique… Probability of drawing a gold talent next time: 80%…】

【Rock Divine Physique】: One of the mutated divine physiques, a mutation derived from the Earth-Element Divine Physique. Possessing this physique not only grants keen sensitivity to earth-type spiritual energy but also bestows defensive capabilities far exceeding those of ordinary cultivators.

“Hm? This physique…”

Su Xing thought it over and felt this newly drawn divine physique didn’t seem very useful to him.

After all, he already possessed the Five Elements Holy Physique, which completely outclassed the Earth-Element Divine Physique.

As for the enhanced defense… it might be decent for ordinary cultivators, but Su Xing was already a body-tempering cultivator. This marginal improvement was of little use to him.

“Sigh, at this point… there are fewer and fewer talents that can actually be of use. Perhaps only when the simulator upgrades again and brings red talents will my strength see further growth.”

Su Xing thought this, and considering that he had very few empty talent slots remaining, he needed to save them for critical talents.

“In that case, I’ll stick with the usual approach—focus on raising my cultivation and Spirit Domain!”

“The Spirit Domain… isn’t far from ten thousand zhang (33.3 km)!”

Su Xing’s heart surged with anticipation.

After reaching ten thousand zhang (33.3 km), the Spirit Domain would undergo certain changes…

His gaze turned to the simulation panel.

【Ding! Please select a talent to enhance with Plus One…】

“Enhance Late Bloomer…”

【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you became aware that you were in a simulation.】

【By now, your strength in the entirety of the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm was virtually without equal…】

【You traveled to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion and reported intelligence on Red Moon.】

【Over the next year, you relocated a portion of Earth’s human race to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm…】

【Year 5: The Celestial Secrets Pavilion dispatched two Supreme Unity Golden Immortals to Earth to search for traces of Red Moon.】

【Year 10: The two Supreme Unity Golden Immortals returned gravely wounded. The alien races accelerated their invasion of the human race.】

【After leaving the Azure Cloud Realm, you began searching for the remnants of the Luotian Sect scattered across the Three Thousand Worlds.】

【From then on, in addition to your daily cultivation of the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art, you also began tempering your body, consuming precious treasures from the Fifth Heaven to raise your cultivation.】

【In the blink of an eye, seventy years passed…】

【The situation in the Azure Origin Domain gradually deteriorated. Without your intervention, the trajectory of the future remained the same as before.】

【Year 80: You traveled to the Fifth Heaven and began preparing to comprehend the Great Dao…】

Seeing this, Su Xing nodded slightly:

“The progression of events is roughly the same as the previous simulation… The only difference is that in addition to Qi Refining cultivation, I’ve also started raising my Body Tempering cultivation!”

“I wonder which cultivation the Heart of the Strong will enhance this time when it triggers?”

After a brief pause, Su Xing continued:

“And then there’s the comprehension of the Great Dao. This immersive simulation should be able to push the Great Dao of Speed to fourth realm Peak. Next time… I should be able to smoothly break through to the fifth realm!”

With that thought, Su Xing silently chanted:

“Use immersive simulation, duration: seventy years…”

【Ding! You have successfully used immersive simulation. Origin energy spent: 25,550 points. Remaining origin energy: 12,850,222 points…】

As the simulation Chime faded, Su Xing’s consciousness entered the simulated world.

…

The Fifth Heaven, within the Wu Clan giants’ Secret Realm.

Su Xing slowly opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings.

“Not bad. On this island, the precious treasures are beyond counting… and many are already extinct species passed down from the ancient Wu Clan. They can indeed serve as vital resources for my cultivation of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art!”

Su Xing thought it over and decided not to rush into comprehending the Great Dao.

Instead, he spent a month transplanting all the precious treasures into his spirit field grotto-heaven.

Afterward, he brought these treasures into the Luotian Mirror and entrusted them to Shennong Youtian and the others to tend.

This way, Su Xing would only need to expend spiritual power to bring them out of the Luotian Mirror, granting him access to even more precious treasures and ensuring the steady advancement of his body-tempering cultivation.

A month later, Su Xing brewed some Dao-Enlightenment Tea and began comprehending the Great Dao of Speed.

In the blink of an eye, fifty-four years passed…

Su Xing drained all three cups of Dao-Enlightenment Tea and activated the Inevitable Epiphany talent. Finally, the Great Dao of Speed successfully advanced to fourth realm Peak!

“Just as I predicted—the Great Dao of Speed has reached fourth realm Peak… and the fifth realm isn’t far off!”

“Next simulation, I should be able to smoothly break through to the fifth realm!”

The corners of Su Xing’s mouth curved upward, his heart brimming with satisfaction.

“Once the Great Dao of Speed reaches the fifth realm, traveling from the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm back to Earth would probably take me only a single day… And within a week, I could reach places like the Black Water Realm!”

“Crossing the Endless Sea would probably take only ten years… After all, the fifth realm of the Great Dao of Speed is something only Golden Immortals can comprehend!”

“And even those who have just entered the Golden Immortal realm may not have comprehended the Great Dao of Speed at all…”

After a brief pause, Su Xing continued:

“However, there are still sixteen years left in this simulation. I shouldn’t waste them…”

“I haven’t thoroughly explored this Fifth Heaven yet…”

“With my current strength, I should be able to stroll through the Fifth Heaven without a care, right?”

When Su Xing was at the True Immortal level, he had walked on thin ice in this Fifth Heaven.

It could be said he had expended tremendous effort just to slay that Wu Clan giant and barely managed to seize this Secret Realm as a place for secluded cultivation.

But now, Su Xing’s strength was worlds apart from before. With no Golden Immortal-level beings likely to exist in the entire Fifth Heaven, Su Xing could explore boldly.

With that thought, Su Xing departed from his secluded island and began exploring the Fifth Heaven.

The moment he left the island, Su Xing sensed that the mists pervading the Fifth Heaven were thick enough to block an immortal’s perception.

Within each bank of mist, danger could lurk, along with unexplored Secret Realms.

In merely one month of exploring the Fifth Heaven, Su Xing was assailed by void tempests over a hundred times!

These void tempests were powerful enough to grievously wound True Immortal cultivators!

Even someone who had just entered the Mystic Immortal realm would be in serious trouble if caught off guard by a tempest striking a vital point.

But with Su Xing’s current strength, these mere tempests weren’t worth a second glance.

Four thousand nine hundred strands of Protective Sword Aura shielded Su Xing tightly.

Combined with his physical body being several times stronger than before, these trivial void tempests posed no threat to Su Xing whatsoever.

“Hm?”

While traveling, Su Xing suddenly noticed a streak of light shooting past like a meteor not far away.

Su Xing extended his hand, his mind stirring… He reached through the void and grasped the object.

This technique of Su Xing’s could be called the supernatural art Star-Plucking Hand.

But Su Xing had never actually cultivated this supernatural art—it was merely an advanced application of the spatial Dao!

All Great Daos lead to the same destination.

The so-called Star-Plucking Hand was nothing more than the spatial Dao combined with sufficient spiritual power… something the current Su Xing could accomplish with ease!

“This thing… could it be?”

“A Mount Buzhou Stone!”

Su Xing’s eyes widened. The palm-sized stone in his hand weighed as much as several mountains.

Even some cultivators who had just entered the immortal ranks might not be able to lift it.

“Mount Buzhou Stones are supreme treasures for obtaining origin energy!”

“Since ancient times… Mount Buzhou is no more, and Mount Buzhou Stones have all but vanished from the world… But this Fifth Heaven truly holds no shortage of treasures!”

“This isn’t the first time I’ve found a Mount Buzhou Stone… Could the fallen Mount Buzhou itself lie somewhere within the Nine Heavens Domain?”

At this thought, Su Xing’s eyes blazed with fervor!

The entire Mount Buzhou—that would be an unimaginable amount of origin energy… If Su Xing truly found it!

Su Xing swallowed hard and stowed the Mount Buzhou Stone away.

“Sigh, but the chances are slim… I should focus on finding usable precious treasures here in the Fifth Heaven!”

With that thought, Su Xing continued his exploration of the Fifth Heaven.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen years passed…

Over those fifteen years, Su Xing explored more than twenty Secret Realms in succession.

He slew nearly ten Mystic Immortal-level demonic beasts.

These beasts were mostly ancient species from primordial times. Though their cultivation and strength were considerable, they were somewhat berserk and bloodthirsty… In a sense, they were quite similar to the alien races!

Beyond that, Su Xing found numerous precious treasures in these Secret Realms, many of which proved helpful to his cultivation.

“Phew… All things considered, the Fifth Heaven is extremely perilous… My decade-plus of exploration has probably covered less than one ten-thousandth of it!”

“Still, nothing in the Fifth Heaven poses a real danger to me anymore…”

Su Xing turned his gaze upward, peering through the layers of mist as if he could see a world far beyond.

“The Sixth Heaven… a place only Golden Immortals are qualified to enter!”

“I wonder—with my current strength, could I enter the Sixth Heaven?”

A flicker of anticipation stirred in Su Xing’s heart.

If he could truly enter the Sixth Heaven, he might find even more resources and further shield himself from Qingyunzi’s perception!

“But there isn’t much time left in this immersive simulation…”

“I’ll wait until the next simulation to try. I’ll be better prepared then…”

…

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

“Phew… This immersive simulation yielded quite a harvest!”

“The Nine Heavens Domain… what kind of existence is it, really?”

“Qingyunzi once said that the Nine Heavens Domain is connected to the five domains of the Immortal Realm… Not just the Azure Cloud Realm or even the entire Azure Origin Domain—other great domains can also reach the Nine Heavens Domain!”

“Could it be that the Nine Heavens Domain is larger than all five domains of the Immortal Realm combined?!”

Su Xing had no way of knowing for certain. Moreover, the Nine Heavens Domain concealed too many secrets and treasures, seemingly relics from an ancient battlefield.

“This simulation, perhaps I can try entering the Fifth Heaven from the Heavenly Secrets Domain!”

Su Xing thought this and turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.

【Year 150: The immersive simulation concluded. Your comprehension of the Great Dao of Speed has deepened.】

【At the same time, your exploration of the Fifth Heaven has given you the feeling that you are drawing closer to this world’s secrets…】

【After brief preparations, you departed the Fifth Heaven and appeared in the Azure Origin Domain.】

【You visited the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm. By now, the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm was not far from destruction.】

【You provided some spirit liquid and Rebirth Pills to the Heavenly Abyss Army, hoping the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm could hold out a little longer.】

【Afterward, you left the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm and set out for the South Sea Realm.】

【In just ten years, you traversed most of the Azure Origin Domain and reached the South Sea Realm.】

【From there, you departed the South Sea Realm and headed for the Endless Sea.】

【For you now, the Endless Sea was no longer as dangerous as before… You followed the shipping routes and traveled safely the entire way.】

【In a mere twenty years, you arrived at the Heavenly Secrets Domain.】

【Year 170: In the White Cloud Realm, you became an Elder of the White Cloud Sect and provided considerable guidance to the Bai couple.】

【From then on, you cultivated peacefully in the White Cloud Realm, advancing both your Qi Refining and Body Tempering cultivation in tandem.】

【Year 200: Your Qi Refining cultivation barely advanced to the mid-stage of Mystic Immortal Third Layer.】

【That year, you began inquiring about the Nine Heavens Domain in the White Cloud Realm.】

【But the White Cloud Realm was merely a lesser chiliocosm, and you gathered little useful information… Left with no choice, you decided to wait until you reached the Celestial Secrets Realm to investigate the Nine Heavens Domain further.】

【Year 210: Your Spirit Domain expanded to nine thousand zhang (29.97 km).】

【From then on, in addition to raising your cultivation, you devoted even greater focus to expanding your Spirit Domain!】

【In the blink of an eye, a sixty-year cycle passed…】

【Year 270: With the aid of Dao-Hearing Pills, your Spirit Domain expanded to nine thousand five hundred zhang (31.64 km)!】

【The ten-thousand-zhang (33.3 km) Spirit Domain drew ever closer…】

【As the Spirit Domain’s range grew, its power and its enhancement of techniques and spells became increasingly formidable.】

【Beyond that, you sensed a subtle change in the Spirit Domain…】

【Originally, the Spirit Domain merely enhanced supernatural arts, techniques, and Great Dao comprehension… It was still far from being substantiated!】

【But the closer you drew to the ten-thousand-zhang (33.3 km) Spirit Domain—and thus to Spirit Domain Major Mastery—the more you felt your Spirit Domain beginning to resemble the spirit field grotto-heaven!】

【Or rather… the spirit field grotto-heaven could become a part of your Spirit Domain!】

【However, you merely had this premonition. As for how to actually accomplish it, you did not yet know.】

【And so, you accelerated your cultivation of the Spirit Domain even further.】

【In the blink of an eye, time reached Year 300!】

【That year, Xiao Zhanlong piloted the Celestial Vessel to the White Cloud Realm to evacuate cultivators with potential.】

【The Bai siblings you had mentored successfully boarded the Celestial Vessel…】
