Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[After spending some time with Tang Yi Yi, you bid farewell and return to your retreat to continue enhancing your cultivation level.]

[In the blink of an eye, another two hundred years have passed...]

[In the first thousand three hundred years, you were touched with inspiration and successfully emerged from your retreat.]

[At this time, you have already advanced to the mid-stage of the fifth weight of the Golden Immortal!]

[And the Origin Force Tree within you has reached two zhang nine chi, only one step away from the great achievement in the sixth layer.]

[The Spirit Realm has even reached twenty-seven thousand miles...]

[You are confident that with your current strength, you may not be any weaker than Tang Yi Yi, though you are still falling short of Immortal Ziling.]

[This year, the foreign race descended from the Eighth Layer of Heaven, attacking the prodigy cultivators of the Seventh Layer of Heaven.]

[You transformed into an Inferior Demon Deity and escaped unscathed...]

In the real world, Su Xing noticed this with a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

"Immortal Ziling has actually ascended to Taiyi Golden Immortal!?"

"And Qing Yunzi... perished!?"

Su Xing was somewhat dazed. Why did changes happen so drastically?

After pondering for a long time, Su Xing speculated:

"Immortal Ziling's ascension... could it possibly be related to the insights on Soul-Nurturing Way that I gave him?"

In Su Xing's mind, the direct change in Immortal Ziling's path appears to have been solely due to that particular matter.

Su Xing has reached the pinnacle of the Soul-Nurturing Way.

Even a casual note on soul nurturing holds priceless value.

Just by a soul nurturing insight, it helped Immortal Ziling break into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, and this is not unfounded.

Cultivators like Immortal Ziling who have reached the Golden Immortal Peak usually have ample foundation, waiting for a "chance" for further advancement!

This chance is mysterious when spoken of.

Some Golden Immortal Peak cultivators are fond of fishing, and might occasionally catch a "fish of fortune", leading to an intuitive blessing and seamless breakthrough to Taiyi.

Other cultivators might even just play around in brothels, enjoying worldly pleasures, and achieve a breakthrough to Taiyi as their hearts become clear.

Hence, such a chance is sought but not easily acquired!

"So the breakthrough chance for Immortal Ziling lies within this Soul-Nurturing Way?"

Su Xing pondered thoughtfully.

Immortal Ziling is fond of the Soul-Nurturing Way and has tried planting Gathering Spirit Flowers and other spirit plants for tens of thousands of years.

Perhaps this is Immortal Ziling's way and chance!

"As for proving whether it's true... it doesn't seem hard!"

"This time, the insights on simulation were casually written by me; next time, if I provide sincerely composed insights, perhaps they could help Immortal Ziling break through in advance!"

At this thought, Su Xing felt somewhat joyful.

Immortal Ziling's breakthrough to Taiyi Golden Immortal has significant impact on Su Xing.

Firstly, being a top prodigy among Golden Immortals, Immortal Ziling possesses Great Luo qualification.

After advancing to Taiyi, it becomes substantial reinforcement for the Qingyun Realm!

Secondly, and most importantly!

Once Immortal Ziling advances to Taiyi, she will leave the top position of the prodigy ranking on the earthly list!

Su Xing would not need to defeat Immortal Ziling to achieve the top position on the earthly list!

Su Xing will only need to either defeat a Taiyi Golden Immortal ranked opponent or engage in battle without losing.

This would allow him to smoothly ascend to the top of the earthly list!

Once he ascends to the top of the earthly list...

Su Xing will be able to meet the legendary woman of the Three Thousand Worlds, the Semi-Saint Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master!

He can even ask the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master one question!

By then... Su Xing's room for maneuver will greatly expand!

Equivalent to, with every simulation!

He can ask one question each time!

"Uh... I didn't expect the top of the earthly list to be achieved so smoothly in this way?"

"Originally, I thought it would take at least several more simulations... but now it seems, I already have the strength for the top of the earthly list?"

Su Xing blinked, this happiness came somewhat abruptly.

"So now, my competitor... is only Tang Yi Yi?"

"And to claim the top of the earthly list... either defeat Tang Yi Yi or prove my strength surpasses hers!"

Theoretically, Su Xing only needs to defeat Tang Yi Yi in the Seventh Layer of Heaven to claim the throne atop the earthly list.

Yet he is not enemies with Tang Yi Yi, and besides, the outside world might not necessarily know of defeating Tang Yi Yi in the Seventh Layer of Heaven.

Thus, a more secure method is for Su Xing to draw with a Taiyi Golden Immortal before Immortal Ziling advances to Taiyi.

By then, Su Xing will ascend to the second position on the earthly list.

After Immortal Ziling's advancement, Su Xing will naturally become the top of the earthly list.

By then, Su Xing will have the qualification to meet the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master.

Only, what puzzles Su Xing is...

"The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master is clearly in the Eighth Heavenly Layer..."

"Even if I become the top of the earthly list, how can I meet her?"

"Regardless, let me achieve the top of the earthly list first..."

"But that's a matter for the next simulation..."

"This simulation, it's better to prioritize enhancing the Shadow Deity's strength!"

Currently, the Shadow Deity's realm has reached the late stage of the Second-level Deity, not far from breaking through to First-level Divine Being.

Looking at the simulation panel.

[In the first thousand three hundred years, the Inferior Demon Deity you transformed into was accepted by the foreign race and honored as a distinguished guest.]

[Several years later, through the unique passage of the foreign race, you left the Eighth Heavenly Layer and returned to the Heavenly Secrets Domain.]

[Upon returning to the Heavenly Secrets Domain, you continued cultivating angels, amassing the power of faith as always.]

[Thus, five hundred years passed...]

[In the first thousand eight hundred years, the number of believers and angels reached a short-term peak, hard to surpass further.]

[Thus you applied to head to the Qingyun Realm...]

[You arrived in the Qingyun Realm, amassing the power of faith...]

[Thus, a thousand years passed leisurely...]

[In the two thousand eight hundred years, one day you felt a foreboding, predicting a calamity was imminent for you...]

[Thus, you exhausted all the power of faith accumulated over a thousand years to enhance your strength.]
