Chapter 430 – Simulating Thirteen Hundred Years, Human Race Traitor Appears Again!

Chapter 430 – Simulating Thirteen Hundred Years, Human Race Traitor Appears Again!

In fact, it was just as Su Xing had guessed.

The battlefield between the alien races and the human race was not limited to the Three Thousand Worlds—or rather, the lower realm!

Within the Nine Heavens Domain, in the upper three heavens, there existed an even higher-level battlefield.

Only the human race’s truly top-tier powerhouses could gain access to it.

After all, the threshold for entering the upper three layers required at least Peak Golden Immortal combat strength!

“Moreover, in the upper three layers, because of the alien races’ presence, the human race is at a disadvantage… so large-scale migration is simply impossible…”

Su Xing murmured.

Through his conversation with Tang Yiyi, Su Xing had learned that the combat zones between the human race and the alien races in the Nine Heavens Domain were located in the Seventh and Eighth Heavens!

And the purpose of the human race there was to break through the alien races’ blockade and charge into the Ninth Heaven!

In the upper three heavens, the human race’s top powerhouses all operated in small-scale engagements, somewhat similar to guerrilla warfare.

Some powerhouses, like Tang Yiyi, were prodigies but slightly weaker in strength, fighting against the alien races in the Seventh Heaven.

At the same time, they also sought opportunities to break through to Supreme Unity Golden Immortal!

Meanwhile, in the Eighth Heaven, there was a special combat squad led by the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master.

Their numbers were few—merely several dozen people—yet every single one was an existence above Supreme Unity Golden Immortal!

These were powerhouses the human race had accumulated over countless cosmic cycles.

They were also the human race’s truly top-tier powerhouses!

What they faced were the alien races’ elite legions.

The First Army, and the 2nd Legion!

“So that’s how it is. If that’s the case, then the reason why there’s no cultivation civilization in the upper three heavens can be explained…”

“Although spiritual energy is abundant, ordinary cultivators—even regular Golden Immortals—would have very little chance of survival against the alien races’ most elite forces…”

After a pause, Su Xing continued:

“And the reason the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master leads several dozen Supreme Unity Golden Immortals to fight the alien races in the Eighth Heaven… is precisely to find a way to reach the Ninth Heaven and uncover the mystery of attaining sainthood?”

“But clearly, the White Emperor previously said that the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master seemed to have been to the Ninth Heaven before—what’s that about?”

Su Xing pondered for a while but couldn’t find an answer.

To learn the reason, he would likely need to meet the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master in person and ask directly.

“Even Tang Yiyi hasn’t seen the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master in a long time…”

“The reason Tang Yiyi wants to achieve first place on the Earth Ranking is probably also to find a way to meet the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master.”

Although Su Xing didn’t know how reaching first place on the Earth Ranking would allow him to meet the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master.

But since such rumors existed in the cultivation world, there was naturally some basis for them.

Therefore, Su Xing’s short-term goal remained the same—advancing his strength to the top of the Earth Ranking!

“Hoo… based on the results of this immersive simulation…”

“Tang Yiyi’s strength is perhaps already on par with Fairy Ziling’s.”

“And their strength far surpasses the concept of Peak Golden Immortal… even some enemies who have just entered Supreme Unity Golden Immortal may not be their match…”

Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly.

This meant that the value of first place on the Earth Ranking was even higher than he had imagined.

Su Xing would need to possess at least early Supreme Unity Golden Immortal cultivation strength to achieve it.

“In other words… I need to cultivate the Great Shaman Body Forging Art to the sixth layer Major Mastery, advance my Qi Refinement cultivation to Late Golden Immortal… and push both Sword Dao and Five Elements Dao into the sixth realm before I’d have the confidence to completely suppress Tang Yiyi and Fairy Ziling and claim first place on the Earth Ranking…”

Thinking of this, Su Xing took a deep breath.

Though the goal had become even more difficult… Su Xing wasn’t without good news from this simulation!

During the battle against the Shadow Deity, after Su Xing fell unconscious, he had successfully triggered the Heart of the Strong talent!

Moreover, what it enhanced was Su Xing’s Qi Refinement cultivation!

“By the end of the immersive simulation, my Qi Refinement cultivation had already approached late Golden Immortal Layer Two…”

“This simulation might actually allow me to reach late Golden Immortal Layer Two cultivation!”

After a pause, Su Xing said with some headache:

“The upper three heavens are different from the six heavens below… once you enter, it’s very difficult to leave.”

“It seems that for the remaining time of this simulation, I can only spend it in the Seventh Heaven.”

“Well, it’s a good opportunity to improve my cultivation!”

Thinking thus, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【Year 800. In the Seventh Heaven, because you cannot return to the lower realm, you can only train and temper yourself in the Seventh Heaven.】

【You became acquainted with Tang Yiyi, ranked second on the Earth Ranking, and learned that besides her, there were several dozen other Peak Golden Immortal prodigies in the Seventh Heaven.】

【Most of these prodigies were famous on the Earth Ranking, while some had been cultivating for a long time without ever appearing on the ranking.】

【Tang Yiyi informed you that for safety, they would not gather together but instead operate separately throughout the Seventh Heaven.】

【Only at designated times would they meet to trade, exchanging heavenly treasures needed for their respective cultivation.】

【And in the Seventh Heaven, besides these several dozen human cultivators…】

【There existed a terrifyingly powerful alien army!】

【Every alien in the Seventh Heaven possessed strength at or above the deity level!】

【They would cooperate to hunt human cultivators, or devour the flesh and blood of living creatures in the Seventh Heaven to increase their strength.】

【The Shadow Deity you encountered previously could rank in the top ten among the aliens in the Seventh Heaven.】

【Those stronger than it were almost all first-tier deities.】

【Over the next several decades, you followed Tang Yiyi and gradually mapped out the situation in the Seventh Heaven.】

【Here, it was indeed far more dangerous than the lower realm, as alien ambushes could occur at any moment.】

【But at the same time, the Seventh Heaven contained far more heavenly treasures from ancient times, which were extremely helpful to cultivators.】

【Unfortunately, since you carried the Luo Tian legacy and possessed immortal liquid, these heavenly treasures were of no use to you.】

【Year 830. You parted ways with Tang Yiyi and decided to cultivate alone to improve your strength.】

【You used immortal liquid for cultivation each day, and your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds…】

【Soon, seventy years passed in the blink of an eye.】

【Year 900. With the help of sufficient immortal liquid, your Qi Refinement cultivation finally broke through to late Golden Immortal Layer Two!】

【At the same time, over these seventy years, you constantly battled against alien deities. Though the aliens held the advantage in numbers, your luck was quite good, and you slew many of them.】

【The only regret was that the Seventh Heaven was too dangerous—you had to maintain peak condition and couldn’t sustain the Luotian Realm’s thirty-times time flow rate.】

【Therefore, your Body Tempering cultivation remained stuck at the sixth layer minor completion, with the Primordial Energy Tree inside your body at one zhang (3.33 m).】

【But fortunately, with sufficient spirit liquid, every time you found a secluded place for closed-door cultivation, you would practice the Zhengyi Breath Absorption Art.】

【In a mere hundred years, you discovered no fewer than a hundred grotto-heavens in the Seventh Heaven.】

【You even began to wonder whether the Eighth Heaven might contain treasure sites at the Grand Grotto-Heaven level!】

【And so, another hundred years passed…】

【Year 1,000. This was the longest you had ever simulated using your true body.】

【The wars in the lower realm had absolutely no effect on you. Your enemies were solely the alien deities in the Seventh Heaven.】

【And those that could truly threaten you were merely those few first-tier deities.】

【But you were not the only human in the Seventh Heaven—coupled with your caution and remarkably good luck, you escaped the alien deities’ encirclement and suppression operations multiple times.】

【Over this hundred years, you attempted multiple times to leave the Seventh Heaven and return to the lower realm, but every attempt ended in failure without exception.】

【Just as Tang Yiyi had told you, leaving the upper three heavens was incredibly difficult—even Supreme Unity Golden Immortals needed to expend considerable effort.】

【At the same time, over this century, you also obtained some important intelligence.】

【You recorded each piece of this intelligence carefully.】

In the Real World, Su Xing’s heart stirred when he saw this.

“Use immersive simulation…”

A day later, Su Xing’s consciousness returned to reality.

In his mind, virtually all the intelligence from this simulation had been absorbed by Su Xing.

“So that’s how it is. The upper three layers of the Nine Heavens Domain are actually one connected whole… I really underestimated the vastness of the upper three layers!”

“Strictly speaking, the upper three heavens can lead directly to any location across all Five Great Domains of the Three Thousand Worlds in the lower realm… but it requires an extremely high level of spatial Dao comprehension!”

Su Xing’s eyes were thoughtful. This was an extremely valuable piece of intelligence.

In the lower realm, the Five Great Domains were separated by vast distances, and the different domains were further divided by the Endless Sea.

Therefore, traveling to another domain was extremely difficult and time-consuming.

But if Su Xing first traveled to the Nine Heavens Domain, then found the appropriate coordinates within it…

And finally descended directly from the upper three heavens back to the lower realm.

He could achieve the effect of crossing between domains!

This could save Su Xing a considerable amount of time.

“I wonder what level of Spatial Dao Comprehension would be needed?”

Su Xing shook his head slightly.

His primary concern right now should still be improving his strength.

“The Nine Heavens Domain may be a one-way trip, but it allows simulating for a much longer period!”

“It’s actually quite a good cultivation location…”

Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

【Life in the Seventh Heaven was somewhat tedious for you.】

【Each day consisted of nothing but cultivation, hunting alien deities, or being hunted by alien deities.】

【Occasionally, when you encountered other human prodigies, you would exchange intelligence and heavenly treasures.】

【Under this day-after-day routine of cultivation, three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye…】

【Year 1,300. After close to three hundred years of arduous cultivation, your cultivation finally reached the Peak of Golden Immortal Layer Two!】

【It was also in this year that you received a secret voice transmission from Tang Yiyi.】

【She informed you that something major was about to happen in the upper three heavens and asked you to meet at a certain location.】

【After receiving this message, your heart stirred, and you went to the location as agreed.】

【When you arrived at the meeting point, you discovered that it wasn’t just Tang Yiyi who had come—more than ten other prodigies from the Seventh Heaven were also there.】

【Seeing the grave expression on Tang Yiyi’s face, you knew that something significant had indeed occurred.】

【Tang Yiyi announced that she was preparing to advance to the Eighth Heaven.】

【It wasn’t because she had broken through to the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal realm, but rather because the prodigies in the Seventh Heaven had begun to be hunted down en masse by alien deities!】

【Several years prior, the alien deities had temporarily opened a descending passage between the Eighth and Seventh Heavens.】

【And had transported several powerful first-tier deities from the Eighth Heaven into the Seventh Heaven.】

【In just these few short years, more than ten human cultivators in the Seventh Heaven had already been assassinated.】

【If this continued unchecked, the next to die would be all of you.】

【After hearing this, you nodded slightly. Over these past few years, the assassination attempts by alien deities that you had encountered had indeed increased.】

【Therefore, Tang Yiyi planned to rally all surviving prodigies and cooperate to open a passage to the Eighth Heaven!】

【However, at that very moment… dozens of terrifying spatial fluctuations emanated from the surrounding space.】

【You and Tang Yiyi reacted first, but it was still too late.】

【It turned out that among the human prodigies in the Seventh Heaven, a traitor had already appeared.】

【And the news of your gathering here had already reached the alien deities.】

【Thus, more than ten powerful first-tier deities had cooperated, intending to catch all of you in one fell swoop.】

【Against first-tier deities, among all the cultivators present, only you and Tang Yiyi had any capacity to resist—everyone else died without exception.】

【However, even though you and Tang Yiyi fought desperately, you still fell under the combined assault of the alien deities.】

【You died!】

【Ding, this simulation has ended…】

After the simulation ended, Su Xing looked at the text before him and fell silent for a moment.

“Going to the Seventh Heaven… my true body can actually set a new longest simulation record… a full thirteen hundred years!”

Su Xing contemplated the pros and cons of going to the Seventh Heaven.

The advantage was obvious—in the Seventh Heaven, the only enemies were alien deities, which was extremely dangerous for ordinary Golden Immortals.

But for Su Xing, it was actually even safer than the lower realm!

After all, in the lower realm, Su Xing had to worry about assassinations from the Advent Cult.

Therefore, in the Seventh Heaven, Su Xing could simulate for thirteen hundred years.

That was equivalent to an extra four hundred years of cultivation time!

“If I want to improve my cultivation, the Seventh Heaven… is undoubtedly an excellent destination!”

“But going to the Seventh Heaven means there’s no turning back, and I’d seemingly lose the opportunity to enter the Celestial Secrets Pavilion’s Void Realm.”

Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly.

In this simulation, he had never expected that once he entered the Seventh Heaven, he would be unable to return.

Thus losing one opportunity to use the Void Realm.

But quickly, Su Xing noticed a blind spot in his thinking.

“Wait, that’s not right!”

“I can simply wait until after year 800, once the great human race war is over, use the Void Realm first, and then go to the Seventh Heaven!”

“At that point, it would be equivalent to extending my simulation time by an additional four hundred years!”

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

Right now, Su Xing clearly had gained an additional simulation option.

After year 800, he could either assume his alien race disguise identity to improve his alien cultivation and gather intelligence.

Or head to the Seventh Heaven and continue improving his cultivation!

For Su Xing as he currently was, the second option was clearly better!

“Moreover, in the Seventh Heaven, once my true body can no longer hold on, I might even be able to switch to my lesser demon disguise form!”

At this thought, Su Xing’s heart leapt with joy!

“My simulation duration has finally broken through further!”

Su Xing’s true body simulation duration hadn’t exceeded nine hundred years in a long time.

But now, it had jumped by four hundred years in one go, reaching thirteen hundred years!

This extra four hundred years of cultivation time would further accelerate Su Xing’s cultivation speed!

“Tsk tsk, the Seventh Heaven really wasn’t explored in vain!”

Su Xing nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the reward list for this simulation.
