Chapter 391 – Becoming a Shadow, an Unexpected Spy! 【8k, Seeking Monthly Tickets~】

In the Real World, Su Xing’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

“As expected, these Red-Pupiled aliens are clinging to me so persistently—they must have learned something from Red Moon!”

Su Xing knew full well that alien gods possessed their own “divine domains”!

Though Red Moon was above Earth, it was entirely possible that it could relay intelligence to its clansmen through the divine domain.

“This really is troublesome! The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s strength is at the late Golden Immortal stage—far beyond what I can currently contend with…”

“Sigh, it seems I have no choice but to transform into an alien race to survive…”

Su Xing hadn’t expected these Red-Pupiled aliens to be watching him so closely.

It seemed the premonition he’d felt in the previous simulation had indeed come from this alien Divine Sovereign.

“So then… what alien race should I transform into for this simulation?”

Su Xing pondered for a moment.

He currently had three possible alien forms he could transform into.

The Flame Demon Tribe, the Shadow Tribe, and the Lesser Demon Tribe.

For this simulation, if he continued transforming into the Flame Demon Tribe, the advantage would be continuing from his previous cultivation base, starting at Lesser Divine Power.

The disadvantage was that the Flame Demon Race had limited potential…

After reaching True God, his cultivation speed would inevitably decline…

“The Shadow Tribe is one of the ten great Emperor Clans among the alien races—they should have considerable authority… Perhaps I should become a Shadow Tribe member for this simulation?”

Su Xing quickly made his decision and turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【After passing through the void, you can still sense a faint but persistent threat. Clearly, the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign has not given up the pursuit.】

【Under these circumstances, you choose to quickly flee into a lesser chiliocosm.】

【You arrive at a lesser chiliocosm called the Dark Water Realm. This lesser chiliocosm has already been largely occupied by alien races.】

【Upon arriving in this world, you swiftly erase all traces of yourself and shield your karmic secrets.】

【Then, you take out all the blood essence you prepared in advance and place it into several storage bags you had readied beforehand.】

【After completing all of this, you activate the Xenomorph talent and choose to transform into a “Shadow Tribe” Xenomorph!】

……

【Ding! You have successfully spent 100,000 origin energy to activate the Shadow Xenomorph. Each subsequent transformation will cost 100,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 8,210,192 points…】

In the Real World, the Chime sounded in Su Xing’s ears.

“Well then, let’s see what the difference is between a so-called Emperor Clan and an ordinary alien race!”

Su Xing gave a slight nod and turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【In year 810, you descend upon the Dark Water Realm and activate your talent, transforming into a Shadow Tribe Xenomorph.】

【You change from your original human appearance into an alien roughly two meters tall, pitch-black from head to toe, with a somewhat fearsome exterior.】

【Sharp black barbs grow across your body like armor… your razor-sharp fingertips seem capable of tearing through space itself.】

【Merely upon transforming into a Shadow Tribe Xenomorph, you already possess the strength of a Heavenly King-stage Class User, comparable to a human Nascent Soul cultivator!】

Seeing this, Su Xing smacked his lips and murmured:

“A newborn Shadow Tribe member already has the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator… The innate talent of alien races really is extraordinary!”

A series of talent changes for the Shadow Tribe appeared on the panel.

【Ding! Detected that you have transformed into a Shadow Tribe Xenomorph…】

【Clearing strength, temporarily modifying soul and physical body…】

【Ding! Detected that most of your original talents are incompatible. Converting applicable talents to match this body…】

【Your talent Late Bloomer: partial abilities retained…】

【Your talent Unkillable Cockroach: partial abilities retained…】

【Talent Heaven-Sent Fortune: partial abilities retained…】

【Talent Innate Severed Meridians: partial abilities retained…】

【Talent Acquired Dao Physique has undergone changes: your innate comprehension of the spatial Dao, the Shadow Dao, and the Dao of Speed has been greatly enhanced…】

【The Shadow Tribe possesses extremely high aptitude for speed and the spatial Dao. Your comprehension of the spatial Dao and the Dao of Speed has been preserved to a certain degree…】

A string of notifications appeared on the panel. Su Xing examined them carefully and nodded:

“Similar to the previous Flame Demon Tribe transformation—five talents retained…”

“The only difference is that Blazing Flame Divine Physique has been replaced by Acquired Dao Physique…”

“However, from the way the text describes it, the Shadow Tribe’s aptitude is clearly much higher than the Flame Demons’!”

Su Xing had once encountered a Shadow Tribe member on Earth.

At that time, he had been assassinated by that Shadow Tribe member and had nearly died.

Now it seemed that Shadow Tribe member had probably not been born long ago. A mature Shadow Tribe member would have been far beyond anything Earth could handle.

“The Shadow Tribe form can inherit my comprehension of speed and the spatial Dao to a great extent… not bad at all!”

Su Xing was curious about just how high the Shadow Tribe’s growth potential was.

He turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【After becoming a Shadow Xenomorph, you can feel that this body’s talent is quite remarkable—even among the Shadow Tribe, it would be considered prodigy-level.】

【Beyond that, you have also gained a new innate talent: Shadow Traversal!】

【Shadow Traversal allows you to leap through shadows. In essence, it is extremely similar to spatial teleportation!】

【Even as a newborn, you already possess the ability of Shadow Traversal, capable of teleporting dozens of meters through shadows.】

【This terrifying innate talent is perhaps one of the reasons the Shadow Tribe ranks among the Emperor Clans.】

【However, your current strength is extremely low. After just a single teleportation, you are already utterly exhausted.】

【After transforming into a Shadow Tribe member, you feel considerably more relaxed. You find a relatively safe location and begin devouring blood essence to increase your strength.】

【You had previously prepared an abundance of blood essence, ranging from Heavenly King-stage to Divine Sovereign-stage—everything you could possibly need!】

【This blood essence is more than sufficient to ensure you safely weather the initial period of weakness after becoming a Xenomorph…】

【Soon, ten days pass!】

【The Shadow Tribe’s talent is astonishing. In just ten short days, you devour over a thousand jin (500 kg) of Heavenly King-stage blood essence and successfully break through to the Martial Sovereign level!】

【Ten days later, a terrifying aura suddenly appears near you…】

【It is the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign who has been hunting you…】

【The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign quickly senses your presence, but you are not worried. If even a Great Firmament Golden Immortal could not see through your true identity, how could a mere Golden Immortal?】

【But upon detecting your presence, a look of surprise quickly crosses the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s face.】

【Clearly, he has recognized your race…】

【The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign approaches you and carefully examines you, confirming that you are a newly born Shadow Tribe alien…】

【A look of astonishment appears on his face as he murmurs: “I never expected that aside from the Ancestral Land, this world would also give birth to a Shadow. What good fortune!”】

【With that, the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign extends an invitation, hoping you will join his legion…】

【Upon hearing this, you do not refuse, and join the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s legion.】

【The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign does not take you away immediately. He tells you to grow peacefully in this world, and that once you break through to God-level, he will come for you.】

【You nod slightly in agreement…】

【The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign then leaves an imprint of his will on you and departs from this world.】

Seeing this, Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly.

“What did the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign mean by that?”

“Aside from the Ancestral Land, this world also gave birth to a Shadow?”

Though it was just a simple remark, Su Xing had extracted quite a bit of information from it.

First, the vast majority of alien races were born in the Ancestral Land!

Second, alien races could also be born in worlds belonging to human cultivators?

No… perhaps it meant that invaded worlds had a chance of spawning new high-tier alien races?

“So that’s how it is. The alien races continuously invade new worlds… perhaps this is one of the reasons?”

“This is information worth taking seriously…”

Invading human worlds not only allowed low-tier aliens to grow stronger—it could even give birth to entirely new alien races!

This was precisely why the alien races kept invading new worlds, like parasites… constantly draining the nourishment from these worlds to strengthen themselves!

“However, judging from the Red-Pupiled alien’s reaction, the Shadow Tribe’s status among the alien races must be quite high—otherwise they wouldn’t receive such attention!”

“Among the alien races, different species truly have vastly different standings!”

“Well then, let’s see just how talented the Shadow Tribe really is!”

Su Xing wanted to see how long it would take him to break through to God-level.

He turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【Over the following period, you devour blood essence in the Dark Water Realm, steadily increasing your strength.】

【One year later, you break through to Legendary-stage.】

【Three years later, you advance to Emperor level alien…】

【In year 825, you successfully grow into a Saint-stage alien!】

【In year 850, you cultivate to Saint-stage Peak and begin preparing to break through to God-level.】

【The breakthrough from Saint-stage to God-level is extremely difficult. Even for you, it takes a full fifty years!】

【In year 900, with sufficient blood essence and your already deep comprehension of the spatial Dao and the Dao of Speed—】

【In this year, you successfully comprehend the Shadow Dao and advance to become a god of Weak Divine Power!】

【In merely ninety years, your consciousness connects to the divine domain…】

【When your consciousness enters the divine domain, you immediately attract the attention of multiple presences.】

【A newly ascended Shadow god is extremely precious!】

【Soon, a consciousness links with yours and provides you with the coordinates of the “Shadow Divine Hall”!】

【Your consciousness traverses the divine domain and quickly arrives at a colossal, magnificent palace…】

【This Shadow Divine Hall is far taller and more magnificent than the Flame Demon Divine Hall. By comparison, the Flame Demon Divine Hall might as well be a slum…】

【Upon entering the Shadow Divine Hall, you quickly sense one terrifying aura after another within the palace.】

【The entire hall contains approximately one hundred thousand god-level consciousnesses!】

【Yet what truly terrifies you is that among them, over a thousand consciousnesses are at or above the Divine Sovereign level!】

【And upon the throne at the very top of the hall, a single terrifying consciousness makes it nearly impossible for you to meet its gaze!】

【That is a chief god-level Divine Sovereign! And the patriarch of the Shadow Tribe!】

In the Real World, Su Xing’s eyes widened at this sight.

“The Shadow Tribe—the patriarch of an Emperor Clan is already at the chief god level!”

A chief god among alien races corresponded to a Great Firmament Golden Immortal among humans!

That was a being above a first-rank Divine Sovereign!

And among the alien races, there were a full ten Emperor Clans!

This meant that among the alien races, there were at least ten beings at the Great Firmament Golden Immortal level!

Beyond that, there were also the so-called Saint Clan and God Clan among the alien races…

Did those clans harbor even more terrifying alien gods?

“The ten Emperor Clans alone possess such terrifying strength?”

Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly. The more he learned, the more keenly he felt the power gap between humans and alien races.

Whether at the low, middle, or high tiers of combat power, the alien races held an overwhelming advantage across the board!

At this rate, the alien races devouring the Three Thousand Worlds was only a matter of time!

Unless the one from the Celestial Secrets Pavilion truly managed to glimpse the Holy Dao—perhaps then there might be a turning point…

“Regardless, now that I’ve become a god… with this Shadow Tribe identity, I should be able to gather more useful intelligence, right?”

Su Xing felt a sense of anticipation as he turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【Ten years later, the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign contacts you and has you join his legion.】

【His legion belongs to the Third Grand Army, Seventh Grand Legion.】

【The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s position is that of a vice commander of a Grand Legion… under his command, gods and Divine Sovereigns are beyond count!】

【And the commander of the Seventh Grand Legion is a first-rank Divine Sovereign, rivaling a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal!】

【With your Shadow Tribe identity, your status within the legion is extremely high after joining.】

【Apart from a few long-established Divine Sovereigns, even some True Gods treat you with considerable courtesy.】

【After all, with the Shadow Tribe’s potential, reaching Divine Sovereign is merely a matter of time…】

【Over the following decades, you fight alongside the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign across multiple campaigns, hunting down numerous alien enemies.】

【In the process, you also uncover the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s racial identity…】

【He belongs to one of the ten great Emperor Clans: the Red-Pupiled Tribe!】

【Legend has it that the Red-Pupiled Tribe’s true form is a massive eyeball of terrifying power that commands slaughter and illusions… This naturally corresponds to Red Moon.】

【The Red-Pupiled Tribe holds an extremely high status among the alien races. Even among the ten Emperor Clans, they rank in the top three.】

【After joining the Seventh Grand Legion, although you gradually earn the trust of the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign, you do not obtain much critical intelligence… You still do not know Red Moon’s current location.】

【In the blink of an eye, several more decades pass…】

【In year 1000, you successfully advance to late-stage Weak Divine Power. With the Shadow Tribe’s talent, you are strong enough to slay ordinary alien races of Medium Divine Power!】

【In a mere century, your strength has risen another level. Such aptitude is terrifying even by Shadow Tribe standards.】

【In year 1100, you successfully become a god of Medium Divine Power.】

【In just two hundred years, the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign realizes that your talent is no ordinary Shadow Tribe member’s.】

【As a result, he trusts you even more and begins assigning you sole command of a small legion to coordinate operations with him.】

【In year 1133, you receive a mission: lead your small legion in the invasion of a lesser world.】

【Upon receiving this mission, your heart is filled with resistance…】

【As a human, how could you lead alien forces to invade a human world?】

【But if you do not accept this mission, another alien god will simply lead a legion to invade instead, and that world will be destroyed all the same.】

【And so, you chose an indirect approach to achieve your goal…】

【Before invading this small world, you had obtained detailed intelligence about it, including its world coordinates, the strongest beings within it, and the distribution of its cultivators.】

【The legion invading this world wasn’t limited to just the one you led.】

【There were three legions in total, led by three alien gods, with the objective of completely annihilating this world within a hundred years.】

【After arriving at this world, you didn’t immediately launch the invasion. Instead, you waited several days, giving the human race within the small world time to call for reinforcements…】

【It wasn’t until several days later, when the other legions began their invasions one after another, that you executed your decapitation strike.】

【Leveraging the advantages of the Shadow Tribe, you assassinated the commanders of two legions within a single day.】

【Having lost their supreme commanders, the remaining aliens were clearly thrown into disarray…】

【You seized the opportunity to announce to the legions that there might be hidden high-realm immortals of formidable power among the human race, and ordered all three legions to assume full defensive positions while awaiting reinforcements from other alien gods…】

【Afterward, you linked your consciousness to your divine domain and reported unfavorable intelligence about this small world.】

【Soon, a Shadow Tribe member of Greater Divine Power contacted you, stating they would send reinforcements within ten years and urging you to hold the line at all costs.】

【Upon receiving this news, you breathed a sigh of relief. This meant the human race in this small world had at least ten years to wait for rescue.】

【According to your intelligence, there were other lesser chiliocosms near this small world…】

【As long as you bought enough time for the human race, the aliens wouldn’t have time to invade.】

【Sure enough, several years later, an elite squad of Celestial Secrets Pavilion disciples arrived at this lesser chiliocosm.】

【Leading the squad was a Celestial Immortal…】

【The moment this human squad arrived, you sensed their presence.】

【Soon, you engaged that Celestial Immortal in battle…】

【With your masterful acting, you naturally retreated in defeat, and leveraging the Shadow Tribe’s innate talents, fled from this small world…】

【Meanwhile, the three alien legions that had invaded this world were completely annihilated!】

【After your escape, you returned to the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s alien legion.】

【Failing a mission was an extremely serious offense within the alien legions…】

【But as a member of the ten great Emperor Clans with astonishing talent, the aliens couldn’t simply execute you outright.】

【The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign merely offered you a few words of consolation before having you rejoin the legion to fight under their command, ensuring your safety.】

In the Real World, Su Xing studied this with a thoughtful expression.

“Hmm? Becoming a spy among the alien races… that’s actually quite a good approach!”

“The only problem is, I don’t seem to have any way to contact the human race…”

Su Xing pondered. With his power alone, he might be able to delay the destruction of a few small worlds.

But the overall tide of alien invasion remained unstoppable.

“Sigh, still, I can see that the Shadow Tribe does hold quite a few advantages among the alien races…”

“For now, I should keep raising my cultivation level to prepare for the next simulation!”

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

【After this failed mission, over the next hundred years, you successively received two more opportunities to lead legions in invading lesser chiliocosms.】

【But unsurprisingly, with you—the “number one mole”—sabotaging from within, these alien operations failed one after another!】

【Alien invasions of human worlds failing was a common enough occurrence.】

【But three consecutive failures on your watch, with every alien legion completely wiped out while only you survived… that was a bit too suspicious.】

【Even so, no alien ever suspected you of being a human spy.】

【After all, for the human race to plant a spy among the aliens was simply an impossible feat!】

【However, the string of failed missions cost you the opportunity to lead legions.】

【You felt some regret about this, but could only devote more of your energy to improving your strength.】

【Year 1300—this year, having devoured massive quantities of blood essence, you reached the mid-stage of Medium Divine Power.】

【Even for the Shadow Tribe, achieving major realm breakthroughs after reaching godhood was incredibly difficult.】

【Over these years, you followed the Red-Pupiled Tribe in invading various small worlds. Though you coasted through every operation, you secretly recorded the intelligence and coordinates of each one.】

【Year 1400—your strength reached late-stage Medium Divine Power…】

【Year 1500—this year, you finally broke through to Greater Divine Power!】

【From year eight hundred to year fifteen hundred, in a mere seven hundred years, you had risen from a Heavenly King-stage alien to a Greater Divine Power alien!】

【Such a terrifying rate of power growth quickly made the aliens realize you were a genius of the Shadow Tribe!】

【Year 1503—a second-rank Divine Sovereign of the Shadow Tribe reached out to you, showing you considerable favor. As a fellow member of the Shadow Tribe, they naturally hoped to see the race’s strength grow.】

【At the same time, after ascending to Greater Divine Power, you received generous cultivation support from the Shadow Tribe and once again earned the opportunity to lead a legion in invading a human world.】

【This time, the mission you accepted was to invade a human lesser chiliocosm!】

【This operation was led by an alien True God, and you only needed to assist from the side…】

【In human terms, you were like a scion of a great clan, sent to the front lines to pad your military record…】

In the Real World, a peculiar expression crossed Su Xing’s face.

“Tsk tsk, so the alien races have their own social politics too!”

Su Xing wasn’t particularly surprised by this.

After all, the alien races were also highly intelligent beings—their intelligence was perhaps even greater than humanity’s.

It would be stranger if such races didn’t have their share of social maneuvering.

“Tsk tsk, but with me around, don’t even think about invading a single human world!”

In his mind, Su Xing had already figured out how to sabotage the operation again!

“However, this time the intelligence I’ve gathered as an alien could all be recorded. Who knows when it might come in handy…”

Thinking this, Su Xing muttered silently:

“Use immersive simulation, duration one day…”

【Ding…】

He turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【After arriving at this world, the aliens quickly launched their assault…】

【But the legion you led continued to coast through the entire operation…】

【You even deliberately let a human squad seeking outside reinforcements escape…】

【This was extremely detrimental to the alien invasion effort!】

【When aliens invaded a lesser chiliocosm, they would typically set up restrictive barriers to prevent cultivators within the world from sending messages outward.】

【Because once cultivators from other worlds learned of it and successfully sent reinforcements, the invasion would very easily fail.】

【Sure enough, several years later, human reinforcements arrived.】

【Because you had prepared in advance, you swiftly activated the Shadow Tribe’s innate talent, diving into the shadow subspace and narrowly avoiding death.】

【But the alien legions invading this world weren’t so fortunate!】

【Including that alien True God, millions of alien soldiers perished to the last…】

【After this mission, you fled back to the alien legion. Though the failed operation enraged the legion commander, they never once suspected you.】

【Regarding this, quite a few alien gods privately speculated that you were the Shadow Tribe’s “Child of Destiny,” which was how you’d escaped death so many times.】

【But regardless, after this mission, you lost the opportunity to independently lead a legion.】

【Days passed, one after another…】

【You followed the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign, occasionally carrying out missions, but spending most of your time coasting, hunting alien gods, and devouring blood essence to strengthen yourself…】

【Time quickly reached year seventeen hundred…】

【This year, an opportunity to invade a Medium Chiliocosm presented itself.】

【In this operation, human cultivator reinforcements arrived in time. The cultivator leading them was none other than Xiao Zhanlong…】

【Unsurprisingly…】

【Your entire legion, including you and the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign, was completely annihilated…】

【You died!】

【Ding, this simulation has ended!】

After the simulation ended, Su Xing’s face twitched several times.

“Damn it, two simulations in a row… and I died at the hands of human cultivators both times!”

He couldn’t help but feel somewhat helpless about this.

“Sigh, but at least this simulation as an alien yielded some useful intelligence…”

“I now have a rough understanding of the alien races’ deployments a thousand years from now.”

“And covertly sabotaging alien operations should definitely be a viable approach…”

Su Xing suddenly recalled a talent he had once drawn—

I Can’t Be the Only Unlucky One!

It was merely a blue talent, but its power was not to be underestimated!

If Su Xing transformed into an alien and then used this talent on the alien races, wouldn’t that be…?

At this thought, Su Xing’s eyes lit up…

“Next simulation, maybe I should give it a try!”

“But for now, let’s check the reward list from this simulation…”

【Frost Origin Divine Physique】: Gold talent, priced at 10 origin energy points.

【Mystic Immortal Realm, Fifth Layer】: Condense the five qi within your chest. Only when the Five Qi converge upon the origin can one ascend to the rank of Mystic Immortal! Priced at 2,000,000 origin energy points.

【Spirit Domain Cultivation Results】: The thousand-li (500 km) Spirit Domain has begun gradually transforming from Spirit Domain toward Spirit Realm level. The Spirit Domain’s influence on reality grows stronger. Priced at 100,000 origin energy points.

【Great Shaman Body Forging Scripture Cultivation】: An ancient Wu Clan body tempering secret art. Cultivated to the Great Shaman Body Forging Scripture, Fifth Layer (Major Accomplishment). Selecting this will moderately increase body tempering cultivation. Priced at 500,000 origin energy points.

Su Xing had no hesitation about this simulation’s reward selections. He muttered silently:

“I choose to bring out the Mystic Immortal Fifth Layer cultivation, as well as the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results…”

【Ding, you have successfully brought out the Mystic Immortal Fifth Layer cultivation. Cost: 2,000,000 origin energy points. Remaining origin energy: 6,211,191 points…】

【You have successfully brought out the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results. Cost: 100,000 origin energy points. Remaining origin energy: 6,111,191 points…】

As the Chime faded, two streams of profound power surged into Su Xing’s body.

First came the advancement of Su Xing’s Qi Refinement cultivation.

Mystic Immortal Third Layer… Mystic Immortal Fourth Layer… Mystic Immortal Fifth Layer!

Su Xing’s cultivation soared from early-stage Mystic Immortal all the way to mid-stage Mystic Immortal!

This made the magical power within his body more than twice as dense as before!

“Whew… the feeling of growing stronger really is wonderful!”

Su Xing smacked his lips. When he opened his eyes, he noticed the changes in the spirit field grotto-heaven.

The spirit field grotto-heaven, which had previously spanned only ten thousand zhang (33.3 km) in diameter, had expanded seventeen times over, becoming a space with a radius of a thousand li (500 km)!

The explosive growth of the spirit field grotto-heaven transformed what had been a somewhat cramped dwelling into a super-vast world capable of housing a hundred million people.

A thousand li (500 km) in radius—even some half-planes drifting in the void were only this large.

“However, with the spirit field grotto-heaven’s expansion, the spiritual energy has become much thinner…”

Su Xing took a moment to sense it.

The spiritual energy in the dwelling had dropped from high-grade grotto-heaven level all the way down to blessed land level.

“Whew, but the drop in dwelling quality isn’t really a problem… I just need to set up a few more formations and plant more Spirit-Gathering Flowers!”

Su Xing murmured to himself.

Currently, there were approximately one hundred thousand Spirit-Gathering Flowers in the dwelling.

With Su Xing’s current simulation time, he only needed to spend one simulation reward extraction opportunity to easily bring out several hundred thousand Spirit-Gathering Flowers from the Luotian Mirror.

When that time came, the dwelling’s spiritual energy quality would naturally recover.

But the increase in the dwelling’s area—that brought genuinely tangible benefits.

“Of course, the most important thing is how the Spirit Domain amplifies my strength!”

Su Xing gently closed his eyes and took a moment to feel it.

“This world—let there be wind!”

The moment Su Xing’s words fell, great winds swept through the dwelling.

“Here—let there be a towering mountain…”

Su Xing pointed with his hand, and from a flat stretch of ground, a mountain a thousand zhang (3.33 km) tall rose up.

“Here—let there be a great river…”

Su Xing pointed once more, and a winding river stretching a hundred li (50 km) appeared from thin air…

In mere moments, the previously unremarkable dwelling now featured towering mountains and a great river.

Such might… had already surpassed the scope of ordinary immortals!

“The Spirit Domain… is truly terrifying!”

“Just now, I combined the Five Elements Dao, spatial Dao, the Dao of cause and effect… multiple Great Daos working in concert to easily reshape this world’s terrain!”

“The old me absolutely could not have done this!”

“Within this Spirit Domain, my supernatural arts and the power of my Great Daos can be amplified by nearly three times!”

Su Xing smacked his lips, savoring the Spirit Domain’s profundity.

“However, conjuring mountains and rivers from nothing consumes a terrifying amount of magical power…”

Su Xing assessed his condition. Just creating those mountains and that river had consumed nearly half his magical power.

“My Spirit Domain is currently only a thousand li (500 km) in range. If it reaches ten thousand li (5,000 km) in the future and ascends to the Spirit Realm level, how terrifying would that be?”

“Or rather… those mighty cultivators whose Spirit Domains rival an entire lesser chiliocosm, or even a Greater World—just how terrifying must they be?”

Su Xing finally understood what the White Emperor had meant.

Within one’s own Spirit Domain, a cultivator was akin to a creator god—now he truly grasped the meaning of those words…

After familiarizing himself with the Spirit Domain’s power, Su Xing began contemplating his next simulation plan.

“Currently, my utilization of the Xenomorph talent… still seems insufficient!”

“Merely investigating intelligence eight hundred years into the future… isn’t of much use to me…”

“Then, should I try directly transforming into a Xenomorph and see what possibilities that opens up?”

Su Xing mused thoughtfully.
