Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

"If I remember correctly... Blood Four was active in the Qingyun Realm hundreds of years ago... Until he went to the Heavenly Secrets Domain a few hundred years later!"

Su Xing rubbed his forehead, having already made plans in his mind.

Although his current strength was no longer afraid of Blood Four, he wasn't fully confident yet!

For now, he should first cultivate the Great Witch Body Refining Decision to Great Achievement, which should offer more assurance!

Thinking of this, Su Xing nodded slightly:

"Very well, this simulation shall further consolidate my strength... Preparations for the next simulation will let me make a name known to Blood Four!"

He looked at the simulation panel.

[The news of Immortal Ziling's promotion has caused quite an uproar.]

[Since Immortal Ziling was already a peerless prodigy, she was immediately listed in the Talent Rankings after advancing to Taiyi!]

[Rumor has it, in the Three Thousand Worlds, within the Five Major Domains, in the past million years, more than three hundred Taiyi Golden Immortals have become known, including those whose deaths and disappearances went unnoticed.]

[Yet, only less than a third of the cultivators managed to be listed in the Talent Rankings.]

[Most Taiyis possess only early-stage Taiyi strength, hence to be listed in the Talent Rankings... at least mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal combat power is required!]

[Immortal Ziling, upon becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal, possessed the ability to transcend minor realms and fight!]>

[Knowing about Immortal Ziling's advancement, you are happy for her.]

[But at the same time, you're striving harder in cultivation.]

[A hundred years quickly passed...]

[The time quickly arrived at the six hundredth year!]

[After two hundred years of grueling cultivation... one day you had a sensation.]

[Your entire body surged with powerful energy, and in just a few days, your strength grew more than double!]>

[Within your body, the two-zhang nine-cun Origin Force Tree also finally rose by one cun, breaking through to three-cun high!]

[That day, you finally reached Great Achievement in the sixth layer of the Great Witch Body Forging Art!]

In the real world, Su Xing saw this and was overjoyed, simultaneously breathing a sigh of relief:

"Great, finally broke through to Great Achievement in the Great Witch Body Forging Art!"

"With this, my overall strength... should surpass Tang Yi Yi!"

"Though it's only one cun longer, it's a qualitative change!"

"After achieving Great Achievement in the Great Witch Body Forging Art... I now possess the qualification to engage in arm wrestling with a Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

Origin Force is the foundation of Body Refinement Cultivators.

Its importance is no less than the Spiritual Power or Immortal Power within a Qi Cultivation Cultivator!

And with the three-zhang high Great Witch Body Forging Art, it is no exaggeration to say!

The Origin Force Tree does not die, and Su Xing's Origin Force remains ever-flowing!

This means... Su Xing now has an endless source of Origin Force...

"Next, the goal is to impact an even higher realm!"

"To cultivate the Great Witch Body Forging Art to the sixth layer of Perfection... requires an Origin Force Tree of nine-zhang nine-cun!"

"When the Origin Force Tree breaks through to ten-zhang... it signifies that my Great Witch Body Forging Art formally steps into the Seventh Layer!"

Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a bit eager.

Because... the Seventh Layer of the Great Witch Body Forging Art signifies... extreme recovery and life force!

It is rumored, by cultivating to the peak of the Seventh Layer, one can undergo Blood Drop Rebirth!

Even if the physical body is shattered to pieces... it can be revived in extremely short time with a drop of Essence Blood!

This mighty power rivals that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, without yielding!

"And right now it's only the sixth hundred year of simulation... There's still plenty of time, strength can still be improved further!"

Su Xing muttered, gazing at the simulation panel.

[After further advancing in Body Refinement Cultivation Level, you do not relax and continue your rigorous cultivation.]

[Ten years later, your cultivation level once again broke through, advancing into the late stage of the fifth tier of the Golden Immortal in Qi Refining Realm.]

[Over the following nearly two hundred years, you continued cultivating the Great Witch Body Forging Art, the Zhengyi Submission Decision... and learn the Path of Artifact Refining.]

[In the blink of an eye, the eighth hundred year arrived!]

[In this year, an epic war erupted!]

[You performed excellently in this battle, displaying terrifying power ranked second on the Earthly Rankings, slaying hundreds of Alien Deities.]

[And the Six-Winged Divine Spirit also perished at your hands...]

[You took the bone sword of the Six-Winged Divine Spirit, a material for refining Innate Treasures, you keep it for future utility.]

[In the eight hundred and tenth year, you began seeking Emperor Bai's guidance on Sword Dao...]

In the real world, Su Xing saw this and recited:

"Utilize immersive simulation..."

[Ding... Duration 100 years, Remaining Origin Energy Source 34,443,667 points...]

With the simulation prompt falling, Su Xing's consciousness entered the simulated world.

...

The next ninety years.

Su Xing received guidance from Emperor Bai.

Though he had learned from Emperor Bai many times, each time brought new insights.

Until the immersive simulation's ninetieth year, Su Xing exhausted the treasures comprehending the Great Dao, and then bid farewell to Emperor Bai.

"Ninety years of immersive simulation... Unfortunately, still one step away from Great Achievement in the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao!"

Su Xing sighed, the contest for the Great Dao, is always increasingly difficult upwards.

Being able to cultivate to just one step away from Great Achievement in the Fifth Realm already shows Su Xing's exceptional talent, coupled with guidance from The First Sword Immortal Under Heaven.

"Alas... Though not breaking through to Great Achievement in the Fifth Realm in one go, it is not far from the Sixth Realm... It's just a matter of these few simulations."

Su Xing murmured.

"Next, it's time to step into the Mirror of Void and further elevate the Path of Artifact Refining!"

Su Xing's gaze flickered with brilliance.

...

The immersive simulation quickly ended, Su Xing returned to reality once again.

After sorting out the memories in his mind, Su Xing sighed deeply and said:

"Following the Soul-Nurturing Way... ultimately on the Path of Artifact Refining, I stand at the pinnacle of the Three Thousand Worlds as well..."

Before entering the Mirror of Void, Su Xing's mastery of the Path of Artifact Refining already stood at the forefront of the Three Thousand Worlds.

Aside from the two Great Grandmasters who could refine Innate Treasures, Su Xing was undoubtedly the foremost Artifact Refiner in the world.
