Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[The Star Gathering was held as always, with many tribes arriving in succession over the previous four months.]

[And you have also harvested a large amount of Star Stones...]

[As you left the Star Realm, you were followed by operatives from the Descending Sect.]

[You lured them into the void and easily killed the three who were pursuing you.]

[The codenames of these three operatives are Blood Thirteen, Blood Eighteen, and Blood Twenty-One...]

[Among them, Blood Thirteen's realm is already close to the Golden Immortal level.]

[This makes you suspect that the top ten operatives of the Descending Sect are all in the Golden Immortal Realm.]

[However, these operatives currently pose little threat to you. What you need to be cautious of are operatives ranked above Blood Four... because only they possess cultivation levels above Taiyi Golden Immortal!]

[After killing these three operatives, you concealed the heavenly secrets, changed your identity and appearance, and headed to the Little Qingyun Realm.]

[You still informed the Heavenly Secret Pavilion of the intelligence about Blue Star, hoping that the cultivators in the Qingyun Realm would prepare early to resist the foreign race.]

[But this time, you do not suggest sending cultivators to hunt down the Red Moon. Instead, you just tell the Heavenly Secret Pavilion not to step into Blue Star but to monitor intelligence nearby.]

[Due to your Golden Immortal realm, the branch of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is very convinced by your intelligence and quickly dispatches cultivators to investigate.]

[After resolving this matter, you head to the Qingyun Realm.]

[Successfully trading with Qing Yunzi... you begin to "cultivate feelings" with Fairy Ziling.]

[She occasionally spars with you, while you impart to her the Soul-Nurturing Way.]

[Thus, ten years pass...]

[During these ten years, you realize that there is still quite a gap between you and Fairy Ziling.]

[During this time, you also received news of the destruction of Blue Star...]

[Before leaving, you handed over your carefully written insights into spiritual growth to Fairy Ziling.]

[In the next twenty years, you collect the Luo Tian Legacy and head to the Heavenly Secrets Domain.]

[In the thirtieth year, you arrive in the Baiyun Realm.]

[You enter the Luo Tian Realm and begin cultivating the Tianyuan Divine Tree.]

[Aside from your daily cultivation, you start to comprehend the Path of Artifact Refining!]

[The Luo Tian Sect, once the number one sect, holds countless tomes on artifact refining, materials for refinement, and even the heroic spirits of elders who are adept at artifact refining to guide you.]

[One day in reality is a month in the Luo Tian Mirror... with a time difference of thirty times, your comprehension of the Qi Dao progresses rapidly.]

[Moreover, as you ascend to the fifth-tier Golden Immortal, you clearly feel the reduction in mana consumption for maintaining the Luo Tian Mirror, shrinking from more than half to less than half per day.]

[Thus, two hundred and seventy years pass...]

[In the outside world, two hundred and seventy years, but within the Luo Tian Mirror... more than eight thousand years have passed!]

[During these eight thousand years, you spend nearly half the time delving into the Path of Artifact Refining.]

[With your current vision and foundation in Qi Refinement, you've almost read all the ancient books related to artifact refining within the Luo Tian Sect.]

[In eight thousand years, you have refined tens of thousands of different grades of magical treasures.]

[Among them, you've even crafted a top-grade Acquired Treasure!]

[With the quality of this treasure, it is enough to rank within the top hundred on the Acquired Treasures list...]

[But you are not satisfied, the gap between Acquired Treasures and Innate Treasures is obvious!]

[Innate Treasures are born from the heavens and earth... attempting to create them by human effort is as difficult as ascending to the heavens!]

[In every era, those capable of refining Innate Treasures are few and far between.]

[In today's cultivation world, only two great grandmasters of artifact refining have the assurance to craft Innate Treasures given certain prerequisites.]

[But what others create may not suit your taste.]

[In the three hundredth year of simulation, you leave the Luo Tian Realm and return to the Baiyun Sect.]

[At this time, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Immortal Vessel arrives.]

[You're aware that your advancement in artifact refining cannot progress further unless you're within the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.]

[In the three hundred and twentieth year, the Immortal Vessel Defense Battle breaks out...]

[In the three hundred and thirtieth year, you successfully reach the Heavenly Secrets Realm.]

[You spend some contribution points and donate a lot of cultivation techniques and magical treasures in exchange for a large number of ancient books on artifact refining from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.]

[At the same time, you also receive guidance from the world's only two great grandmasters capable of crafting Innate Treasures!]

[In the ensuing decades, your path in artifact refining continues to refine...]

[Time reaches the four hundredth year.]

[This year, the first batch of Sky Origin Divine Fruit matures... aside from cultivating the Zhengyi Submission Decision and honing your artifact refining skills, you have an additional task of consuming the Sky Origin Divine Fruit and cultivating the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision...]

[Time slowly moves forward, quickly reaching the five hundredth year!]

[This year, you receive a piece of intelligence...]

[The top of the Earth List, the second-generation disciple of Qingyun Sect, Fairy Ziling—has ascended to Taiyi!]

[Your speculation has been confirmed!]

In reality, Su Xing saw this and showed a knowing expression.

"Indeed! The opportunity for Fairy Ziling's ascension... lies in the Soul-Nurturing Way!"

"I didn't expect that my casual goodwill would fulfill Fairy Ziling... and also complete myself!"

In the last simulation, Fairy Ziling took a thousand years to achieve Taiyi, but now it only took five hundred years.

This is enough to demonstrate that Su Xing's insights into the Soul-Nurturing Way helped Fairy Ziling.

"Then, due to Fairy Ziling's ascension... my ranking on the Earth List will rise by one position... becoming second on the Earth List now!"

"Since my hypothesis is verified... the next step is to improve my strength and find a way to battle Taiyi Golden Immortals!"

Su Xing is contemplating finding an appropriate target.

A newly ascended enemy of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, preferably someone with some enmity with Su Xing!

After much consideration, Su Xing chose a target.

A senior operative from the Descending Sect, Blood Four!

"Blood Three also possesses Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation... but I'm afraid I won't be his match!"

"Comparedly, Blood Four, who ranks lower, is also a Taiyi Golden Immortal but only at the early Taiyi stage..."
