Chapter 395 – Gold Talent Illusion-Piercing Divine Eyes, Intelligence on the Primordial Energy Tree!

Chapter 395 – Gold Talent Illusion-Piercing Divine Eyes, Intelligence on the Primordial Energy Tree!

【Year 401. After a year of recuperation, your injuries fully recovered. Your combat strength now infinitely approached mid-stage Golden Immortal.】

【After recovering from your injuries, you did not slack off. Instead, you continued hunting alien races, acquiring vast quantities of blood essence.】

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

【Year 500. Your physical body strengthened by another half-tier, bringing you one step closer to the peak of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer…】

【Year 600. Your Spirit Domain range grew to 1,800 li (900 km). The vast Spirit Domain amplified your Dao comprehension and supernatural arts even further!】

【Year 700. Your Spirit Domain range grew to 2,000 li (1,000 km), and your strength rose to yet another level.】

【Year 800. The first great war between the Heavenly Secrets Domain and the alien races erupted in full.】

【As an Elder of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, you participated in the conflict…】

【In the first three years, you slew countless alien deities and seized massive quantities of blood essence.】

【Until the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign set his sights on you…】

【You battled the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign for hundreds of rounds, but ultimately could not prevail.】

【You fled toward a lesser chiliocosm that had been invaded by the alien races…】

In the Real World, Su Xing sighed upon seeing this.

“Sure enough, the further you progress, the harder cultivation becomes!”

“In this simulation, there’s no hope of breaking through to Perfection of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer…”

“But my combat strength has finally reached mid-stage Golden Immortal!”

“That should be barely enough to rank in the top thirty of the Prodigy List’s Earth Ranking, right?”

Su Xing’s short-term goal was to reach first place on the Prodigy List’s Earth Ranking as quickly as possible, earning the opportunity to meet the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master.

“But that Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign is really troublesome… His strength has definitely reached late-stage Golden Immortal!”

“Looks like for the second half, I’ll have to survive under an alien disguise again…”

Su Xing pondered which disguise he should use.

Of his three disguises, the one Su Xing was most optimistic about was obviously the lesser demon disguise.

“Fine then, I’ll continue with the lesser demon disguise! Hopefully I can break through to Medium Divine Power soon!”

Su Xing had made his decision. His gaze turned to the simulation panel.

【Year 804. Hunted by the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign, you fled to a lesser chiliocosm.】

【Afterward, you retrieved the storage bag you had prepared in advance, which contained massive quantities of deity-grade and above blood essence — more than enough for your cultivation.】

【You successfully transformed into your lesser demon form, and your talents began to change…】

【…】

【Several days later, the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign found you. He was extremely interested in you.】

【Clearly, a deity-level lesser demon was far too rare among the alien races!】

【Although he had failed to hunt down “that human with secrets,” encountering a lesser demon deity was already an unexpected delight.】

【The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign was extremely enthusiastic toward you and invited you to join his legion.】

【Naturally, you would not refuse.】

【Year 805. You successfully joined the Seventh Grand Legion and, through the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s recommendation, became a vice-commander of the Seventh Grand Legion.】

【Year 810. The war ended. You followed the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign back to a Medium Chiliocosm occupied by the alien races.】

【This Medium Chiliocosm was extraordinarily vast, home to hundreds of millions of alien beings. This was the headquarters of the Seventh Grand Legion!】

【The legion commander of the Seventh Grand Legion was a powerful first-rank Divine Sovereign, comparable to a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal!】

【You were very interested in this alien headquarters and investigated intelligence about the area.】

【Eventually, you learned that this Medium Chiliocosm was originally the human race’s Grey Wolf Realm.】

【The Grey Wolf Realm was dominated by demon cultivators, led by a powerful Grey Wolf Golden Immortal who commanded hundreds of True Immortal-rank and above demon cultivators — a formidable Medium Chiliocosm by any standard.】

【But a mere Medium Chiliocosm could hardly withstand the full assault of an alien Grand Legion.】

【As early as eight hundred years ago, this world had already been conquered by the Seventh Grand Legion, serving as their headquarters from which they gradually infiltrated human worlds.】

【As for that Golden Immortal Grey Wolf Ancestor, he had now become a fur cushion beneath the throne of an alien Divine Sovereign.】

【You silently committed this intelligence to memory.】

【Over the next hundred years, you remained quietly within the Seventh Grand Legion, devouring blood essence in the Grey Wolf Realm and continuously cultivating.】

【However, although lesser demons had high potential and great adaptability, their cultivation aptitude was truly poor. Even with your multiple talent enhancements, you could only be considered above average.】

【Year 900. Under the Seventh Grand Legion’s banner, several Divine Sovereign-level aliens joined forces to launch an invasion of a Medium Chiliocosm.】

【You volunteered and set out with the legion…】

【Year 950. Tens of millions of the alien legion were annihilated. You narrowly escaped with your life.】

【Year 1,000. The second invasion was formally launched, and once again ended in failure…】

【Over the next five hundred years, the Seventh Grand Legion launched successive attacks on various lesser and medium chiliocosms.】

【Yet whenever you participated in battle, the alien side invariably ended in crushing defeat. Even their victories were pyrrhic…】

【Over five hundred years, the Seventh Grand Legion’s overall strength plummeted rapidly, on the verge of dropping out of the top thirty…】

【Year 1,500. This year, through continuous contemplation of spatial and causal laws, you finally advanced further.】

【Congratulations — you have become a Medium Divine Power deity…】

【And at this moment, the entire Seventh Grand Legion existed in name only…】

【Having ascended to Medium Divine Power as a lesser demon, you had become the strongest being in the entire lesser demon race.】

【That same year, the 3rd Grand Legion conscripted you for the conquest of a Greater World…】

【In this war, three first-rank Divine Sovereigns joined forces, while the target Greater World had only a single Supreme Unity Golden Immortal.】

【Given the absolute disparity in power, this Greater World was surely destined to be destroyed and conquered.】

【This world-ending war lasted a full hundred years…】

【Year 1,600. The alien races had been suppressing the human race all along. Under the absolute power gap, even with your “fortune” assisting them, the human race lost more than they won.】

【Until this year, when the White Emperor made his move!】

【The White Emperor came alone from the Celestial Secrets Realm… wielding a wooden sword, clad in white robes. He fought for days on end, ultimately slaying all three Supreme Unity Golden Immortals!】

【Hundreds of millions of alien beings were shredded by the White Emperor’s sword aura — not a single one survived…】

【You died beneath the White Emperor’s sword aura…】

【Ding — this simulation has ended!】

After the simulation ended, Su Xing raised an eyebrow.

“Sure enough, the Calamity Divine Physique talent… isn’t invincible after all!”

“This talent does put the alien races at a disadvantage against humans… but if the power gap is too large, there’s still no hope…”

Su Xing sighed. He had already tried his best to bring misfortune upon the alien races.

But misfortune was not absolutely invincible.

“Still, simulating 1,600 years… my own cultivation has advanced further!”

“Even my lesser demon disguise has finally entered the Medium Divine Power realm… that counts as achieving the Major Mastery goal!”

Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.

【Celestial Demon Physique】: Gold talent. Price: 10 origin energy.

【Mystic Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer】: Condense the five qi within your chest. When the Five Qi converge upon the origin, one may ascend to the rank of Mystic Immortal! Price: 1,000,000 origin energy.

【Spirit Domain Cultivation Results】: A 2,000-li (1,000 km) Spirit Domain that has begun gradually transforming from a Spirit Domain toward Spirit Realm level. The Spirit Domain’s influence on reality is even stronger. Price: 100,000 origin energy.

【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). Perfection of the Fifth Layer is now within reach. Price: 1,500,000 origin energy.

Over eight hundred years of simulation, Su Xing’s Qi Refinement cultivation had only risen from Mystic Immortal Fifth Layer to Sixth Layer.

Sure enough, the higher the realm, the more difficult advancement became!

Even for Su Xing, who possessed a simulator, this was no exception.

However, an ordinary Mystic Immortal attempting to rise from the Fifth Layer to the Sixth Layer would likely need thirty to fifty thousand years.

Compared to cultivators of the same realm, Su Xing’s cultivation speed was already astonishingly fast!

“As for body tempering cultivation… I’m not far from the peak of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art either!”

Su Xing murmured.

Clearly, with the help of Heart of the Strong, Su Xing had saved an enormous amount of time.

“The Spirit Domain’s progress has been rapid too… from 1,000 li (500 km) all the way to 2,000 li (1,000 km)!”

“At this rate, it won’t take many more simulations before I reach 10,000 li (5,000 km) and achieve a Spirit Realm!”

Su Xing felt a flicker of anticipation.

Without hesitating too long, Su Xing silently intoned:

“I choose to extract the Great Shaman Body Forging Art results… and the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results!”

【Ding — you have successfully extracted the Great Shaman Body Forging Art cultivation results. Cost: 1,500,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 8,623,092…】

【You have successfully extracted the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results. Cost: 100,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 8,523,092…】

Two Chimes sounded in succession as two streams of profound energy surged into Su Xing’s body.

The next second, Su Xing’s physical strength began to grow.

In the span of a few breaths, Su Xing’s physical body surged by roughly thirty percent, leaving him only a single step away from Perfection of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer.

At the same time, Su Xing’s Spirit Domain range doubled outright, exploding to 2,000 li (1,000 km).

The territory of the spirit field grotto-heaven expanded instantaneously.

Su Xing slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the increase in his strength, he exhaled a breath of turbid air.

“Whew~ Not bad. One step closer to claiming first place on the Earth Ranking!”

Su Xing estimated that his current strength should be enough to leap to around thirtieth place on the Earth Ranking.

“Beyond what the panel shows, my comprehension of the Five Elements Dao is also just one step away from the fifth realm!”

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and looked at his sole remaining simulation attempt on the panel.

“Eight million origin energy — enough for my next one or two simulations!”

“Then let’s continue!”

“I’ll push through in one breath — advance the Five Elements Dao into the fifth realm and smoothly break through to Perfection of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer!”

A glimmer of hope shone in Su Xing’s eyes as he silently intoned:

“Begin simulation!”

【Simulation #143 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 8,523,092… Remaining simulation attempts: 0.】

【Simulation begins!】

【Drawing a gold legendary talent costs 1 origin energy. Proceed with the draw?】

“Yes!”

【Ding — congratulations, you have obtained the gold talent Illusion-Piercing Divine Eyes… Probability of drawing a gold talent next time: 80%…】

【Illusion-Piercing Divine Eyes】: Gold talent. Possess eyes that can see through all falsehood and illusions. Greatly enhances talent for cultivating eye-based supernatural arts.

“Hmm?”

Seeing the newly drawn talent, Su Xing raised an eyebrow.

Illusion-Piercing Divine Eyes — it looked like a rather good talent!

Seeing through all falsehood and illusions might be somewhat of an exaggeration… but if used against alien races that specialized in illusory arts, Su Xing could certainly put it to good use.

For example, the succubus demons, the most renowned illusionists among the alien races… and the Red-Pupiled Emperor Clan — both races that wielded illusions!

“Not bad. This talent is worth keeping… Even if I can’t use it right now, it will definitely come in handy later!”

Su Xing thought to himself.

“This is my last simulation attempt! Time to push through and raise my strength another notch!”

Su Xing’s goal was to reach late-stage Golden Immortal combat power!

Even if he couldn’t quite reach that level… when facing a late-stage Golden Immortal, Su Xing at least hoped to have the power to protect himself!

His gaze turned to the simulation panel.

【In the spirit field grotto-heaven, you realize you are in a simulation.】

【You leave the Yellow Sand Realm and make a trip to the Celestial Secrets Pavilion…】

【You travel to Earth and begin migrating the human race…】

【Year 5. The Celestial Secrets Pavilion dispatches a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal…】

【Year 10. The Supreme Unity Golden Immortal returns gravely wounded…】

【Over the following decades, you begin searching for the lost Luo Tian legacy in the Azure Origin Domain…】

【Year 50. You begin hunting alien races in the lesser Azure Origin Domain, collecting blood essence.】

【Before long, several decades pass…】

【Year 80. You travel to the Nine Heavens Domain and enter seclusion to contemplate…】

Seeing this, Su Xing couldn’t help but murmur:

“Finally, it’s time to contemplate the Five Elements Dao again!”

“This time, I will definitely advance the Five Elements Dao into the fifth realm!”

“Using immersive simulation…”

【Ding — you have successfully used… Remaining origin energy: 8,497,542…】

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

…

At this moment, somewhere within a Secret Realm of the Fifth Heaven.

Su Xing gazed at the various Great Dao treasures he had collected before him, and at the cup of Dao-Enlightenment Tea already brewed in his hand, murmuring:

“I wonder… how long will it take for the Five Elements Dao to advance to the fifth layer?”

With that, Su Xing drank the Dao-Enlightenment Tea without hesitation, seizing the state of greatly enhanced comprehension to begin contemplating the Five Elements Dao.

…

In the blink of an eye, thirty-six years passed!

With the aid of the Dao-Enlightenment Tea and his various talents, Su Xing’s thirty-six years of enlightenment were equivalent to twenty thousand years of arduous cultivation for an ordinary Mystic Immortal!

Finally, on this day.

Su Xing sat cross-legged atop a protruding boulder, mysterious Dao essence flickering around his body.

Throughout the entire Secret Realm, the four seasons cycled in rotation.

One second it was lush with vibrant green life, and the next it might transform into scorching, blazing heat.

The environment of the entire Secret Realm seemed to shift in accordance with Su Xing’s comprehension of the Five Elements Dao.

With the power of one person alone, a body of the Great Dao — the aura inadvertently released was already enough to alter the climate of a Secret Realm spanning hundreds of thousands of li.

…

Finally, in a certain instant, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes.

In that very moment, every flower, blade of grass, and tree within the Secret Realm bloomed — only to wither rapidly the next second.

Endless Dao essence surged in from all directions, then poured turbulently into Su Xing’s body.

As if… nothing had ever happened!

Everything returned to its original, unadorned state!

In this moment, the Five Elements Dao had successfully advanced to the fifth realm!

Su Xing emerged from his contemplative state and merely performed a quick calculation on his fingers before nodding:

“From the fourth realm at Perfection… to the Peak of the fifth realm, it took a full thirty-six years?”

“That speed is actually a bit faster than I imagined!”

Su Xing carefully savored the changes in his body. The Five Elements Dao’s successful advancement to the fifth realm gave him profound insights.

With a thought, Su Xing flipped his hand, and a vortex of Five Elements immortal power continuously gathered in his palm.

In moments, a vortex radiating terrifying Dao essence had fully coalesced.

Su Xing carefully sensed the power of this Five Elements Immortal Burst, then dispersed it with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, Su Xing’s self-comprehended supernatural art — the Five Elements Immortal Burst — had reached a terrifying level of power!

With just this one small vortex of immortal power, if Su Xing were to release it… the entirety of Earth would be reduced to dust in the void in an instant!

Such power was already capable of grievously wounding a mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivator!

“Not bad… after the Five Elements Dao advances to the fifth realm, it should be comparable in power to the Void Sword — truly the strongest technique at my disposal!”

Su Xing pondered for a moment. Currently, he had successfully advanced both his Dao of Speed and Five Elements Dao to the fifth realm.

So next, it was time to contemplate other Great Daos!

“The Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny… and the Great Dao of the Sword are both worth contemplating!”

If Su Xing wished to contemplate the Great Dao of the Sword, naturally the best approach would be to seek guidance from the White Emperor while supplementing with Dao-Enlightenment Tea.

But with only a mere eighteen years of Dao-Enlightenment Tea time remaining, Su Xing decided to invest it in contemplating the Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny.

With this thought, Su Xing began contemplating the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny!

…

When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he had already returned to reality.

“The Five Elements Dao advanced smoothly… but this Great Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny is still too difficult!”

Su Xing sighed. His talent for the Dao of Cause and Effect and Destiny could only be described as ordinary.

What he relied on was the Acquired Dao Physique and a copy of the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method.

But to advance to the fifth realm, he needed to cultivate the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method to the level of Major Mastery!

At Su Xing’s current rate of progress per immersive simulation, he would need at least five more sessions before he could successfully advance to the fifth realm…

“No matter, let me first seek the White Emperor’s guidance on the Great Dao of the Sword!”

Su Xing’s innate aptitude for swordsmanship was already considerable, and with the White Emperor’s guidance on top of that, Su Xing estimated that three immersive simulations would be enough to successfully advance to the fifth realm.

It would likely be even faster than his comprehension of the Five Elements Dao!

“So next, it’s time to continue going to the Heavenly Secrets Domain to increase my strength…”

Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.

【Year 150: You departed from the Nine Heavens Domain and headed toward the Endless Sea…】

【Year 170: You successfully arrived at the White Cloud Realm.】

【Thereafter, you began diligently cultivating in the White Cloud Realm, simultaneously practicing the paths of Body Tempering and Qi Refinement.】

【In the blink of an eye, one hundred and thirty years passed…】

【Year 300: The Celestial Secrets Pavilion’s Celestial Vessel descended upon the White Cloud Realm, and you boarded the vessel.】

【Year 320: The Celestial Vessel was ambushed by foreign races.】

【You fought valiantly, slaying many foreign race deities.】

【You engaged the second-rank Divine Sovereign in battle…】

【In the past, this was an enemy you couldn’t even hope to match, but now they were no match for you whatsoever!】

【Wielding the mysteries of the Five Elements Dao and the Sword Dao, you firmly suppressed them.】

【After half a month of fierce battle, you finished them off with a single Five Elements Immortal Burst…】

【In this battle, the human race was victorious, and the Celestial Vessel continued its voyage toward the Celestial Secrets Realm.】

【Year 330: The Celestial Vessel successfully arrived at the Celestial Secrets Realm.】

【Word of your slaying of a foreign race second-rank Divine Sovereign began to spread, and you ascended to thirty-first place on the Earth Ranking’s Prodigy List.】

【Over the next hundred years, you continued your regular cultivation within the Celestial Secrets Realm.】

【Time quickly arrived at Year 400.】

【In this year, you participated in the siege against the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign.】

【With your current strength, combined with the mid-stage Golden Immortal Elder, this Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign no longer possessed the ease with which they had once fought.】

【But the Red-Pupiled Clan was, after all, an Emperor Clan among the foreign races, and with the terrifying power of Red Moon at their command, the Sovereign was far beyond what an ordinary late-stage Golden Immortal cultivator could match.】

【You and the mid-stage Golden Immortal Elder joined forces, battling this Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign for several months.】

【The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign finally lost patience and unleashed their ultimate technique…】

【Crimson radiance enveloped the entire world, and all living beings seemed to be frozen in place in that moment.】

【All except — you!】

【In the instant that blood-red radiance shone forth, you felt a cool sensation flow through your pupils.】

【All illusions shattered rapidly before your eyes…】

【Illusion-Piercing Divine Eyes! Capable of seeing through all illusions in the world!】

【Even the terrifying illusory arts of the Red-Pupiled foreign race had absolutely no effect on you!】

【Yet even so, you felt your lifespan decrease by several thousand years in an instant…】

【Watching as the mid-stage Golden Immortal Elder prepared to flee, you gritted your teeth, ready to stake everything on one final gamble.】

【After all, if you lost this opportunity, Heart of the Strong would certainly fail to trigger…】

【And so, you gritted your teeth and rapidly mobilized the immortal power within your body. Your Five Elements Dao insights converged, and a terrifying Immortal Burst began brewing in your hands.】

【The Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign seemed to sense the formidable nature of the Five Elements Immortal Burst. Crimson radiance emanated from their body, surging toward you at the same time.】

【The Five Elements Immortal Burst struck the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s body squarely. A dazzling, colorless radiance enveloped the greater half of the world.】

【Within a radius of a hundred thousand li (50,000 km), all life was extinguished in that moment… the earth began to crumble, mountains toppled!】

【However, the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s crimson light also struck you…】

【You felt your life force rapidly dissipating…】

【You lost consciousness…】

【…】

【When you awoke again, you were back in the Celestial Secrets Realm.】

【You had been unconscious for several full months this time… Unlike before, in this battle you had injured the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign almost single-handedly, and had also suffered the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign’s innate supernatural art attack.】

【Were it not for your physical body being powerful enough, you would likely have perished under that crimson light…】

【The first thing you did upon awakening was to examine the changes in your cultivation.】

【Your physical body’s strength had increased by over fifty percent compared to before!】

【You were astonished to discover that you had finally broken through to the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer — Perfection!】

In the Real World, Su Xing couldn’t help but smile when he saw this.

“Finally, I’ve reached the Fifth Layer at the Perfection stage!”

“My overall strength has risen another level! If I can break through to the sixth layer… what would I have to fear from a late-stage Golden Immortal?”

Su Xing felt reassured.

Although in this simulation, his combat performance was clearly still some distance from a late-stage Golden Immortal like the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign.

But with each simulation, Su Xing’s strength improved.

Perhaps in the next simulation, the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign would no longer pose a mortal threat to him.

“Phew… but this really is a headache!”

“My strength is increasing too quickly… I’ll need to find a new target to trigger Heart of the Strong again!”

Su Xing scratched his head. His current realm and strength were somewhat awkward.

His strength was approaching that of a late-stage Golden Immortal, but he still wasn’t a match for one.

Yet if he sought out a peak Golden Immortal opponent, Su Xing would likely face mortal danger!

“If I were to fight the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign one-on-one… perhaps I could trigger Heart of the Strong one more time!”

Su Xing only pondered briefly before conceiving a new way to trigger Heart of the Strong.

“The Great Shaman Body Forging Art has reached the Peak of the fifth layer…”

“But the sixth layer won’t be easy to break through!”

Su Xing shook his head slightly.

The sixth layer of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art was genuinely equivalent to a Golden Immortal cultivator!

For a peak Mystic Immortal to break through to Golden Immortal, it could easily take tens of thousands of years without success.

What’s more, the difficulty of a Body Tempering breakthrough far exceeded that of Qi Refinement!

“Still, for now I can only take things one step at a time!”

Su Xing recalled the detailed explanation of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art’s sixth layer.

The fifth layer of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art was a comprehensive enhancement of life force, physical strength, and everything else!

The sixth layer, however, was a complete reinforcement of primordial energy!

Currently, the primordial energy flower within Su Xing’s body had fully bloomed — an advancement brought about by cultivating the second layer of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art!

And upon reaching Perfection at the sixth layer, an ancient “Primordial Energy Tree” would form within his body!

As long as the Primordial Energy Tree was not destroyed, Su Xing would possess an inexhaustible supply of primordial energy!

At that stage, Body Tempering cultivators would never again be troubled by insufficient primordial energy!

“Truly inexhaustible primordial energy… then my Protective Sword Aura would become several times more powerful at least!”

Su Xing had a premonition that only after reaching the sixth layer would he truly possess the strength to defeat a late-stage Golden Immortal!

When that time came, the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign would no longer be Su Xing’s match!

“Once the Great Shaman Body Forging Art reaches the sixth layer, it will be time to begin preparing the new plan as well…”

Light flickered in Su Xing’s eyes.

His gaze returned to the simulation panel.

【Year 401: Merely months later, bolstered by your terrifying physical body, your strength fully recovered and your condition was adjusted to its peak!】

【You decided to continue your physical body cultivation and formally attempt to break through to the sixth layer of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art!】

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

【Year 500: After a full hundred years of cultivation, since reaching the Perfection stage of the fifth layer, your physical body’s power had not advanced even a fraction. A hundred years of arduous training had failed to yield the slightest improvement.】

【You realized that you had finally encountered that bottleneck.】

【And to truly break through to the sixth layer, you had to find the Celestial Primordial Tree!】

【Only by consuming the fruit of the Celestial Primordial Tree could you plant the Primordial Energy Tree within your body and enjoy the blessing of limitless primordial energy…】

【But much like the Terrestrial Primordial Flower of old, the Primordial Energy Tree was something that existed in the ancient era and had long since gone extinct.】

【You searched every corner of the Luotian Realm and consulted Shennong Youtian and others, yet still could not find any trace of the Primordial Energy Tree.】

【And so, you could only place your hopes in the Celestial Secrets Pavilion!】

【As an Elder of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, you enjoyed extremely high clearance, and ultimately managed to obtain intelligence regarding the Primordial Energy Tree!】

【According to legend, the Primordial Energy Tree was the most precious sacred tree of the Wu Clan. All newborn Wu Clan infants had to receive the baptism of the Primordial Energy Tree!】

【And upon reaching adulthood, a seed of primordial energy would be planted within their bodies, from which it would gradually grow.】

【But after that war, the Primordial Energy Tree went extinct. Across the Three Thousand Worlds and the Five Great Domains, there was no longer any place where one could be found!】

【Even within the Celestial Secrets Pavilion and the Gold Coin Trading Company, Primordial Energy Fruits could not be purchased…】

【However, the Celestial Secrets Pavilion’s intelligence ultimately mentioned one location where the Primordial Energy Tree might still exist.】

【The Nine Heavens Domain — the Seventh Heaven!】

【Only there might one still find traces of the Primordial Energy Tree…】
