Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Su Xing saw this and thought to himself, "It's steady now!"

In the Descending Sect, having the status of an Elder was truly a position of considerable influence!

Moreover, with the Shadow Protector as his backing in the simulation, that damned Zong wouldn't dare to provoke him.

"Ah, working under the Shadow Protector is so comfortable! Not only are the benefits good, but there's also ample time. Every month, I only need to spend a few days completing tasks, and the rest of the time I can focus on my cultivation. Wonderful!"

Su Xing sighed lightly. In the last simulation, he joined the ranks of the damned Zong and met a miserable end. How could it compare to the comfort of working for the Shadow Protector? Not only was she a great beauty, but she was also genuinely good to Su Xing.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[In the third year, after becoming an Elder, you had the right to select your subordinates. You appointed Wang Qingxuan as your Elder Secretary to assist you when you had no other tasks.]

[It is worth mentioning that, besides Wang Qingxuan becoming your subordinate, you also recruited a follower named Little Stone, who you had previously saved with a Wound Healing Pill. He hadn't betrayed you.]

[Every day, you remained focused on your cultivation and rarely ventured out. Other than the necessary tasks, you didn't interact with other Elders in the sect.]

[In the fourth year, your cultivation level increased to the sixth level of the Golden Core Stage, and you focused on refining the Pill Formation technique, further enhancing the quality of your Golden Core.]

[In the fifth year, your cultivation level increased to the seventh level of the Golden Core Stage.]

[In the sixth year, your cultivation level increased to the eighth level of the Golden Core Stage.]

[In the seventh year, your cultivation level increased to the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage.]

[In the eighth year, your cultivation level reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage.]

[In the ninth year, after reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage, you didn't continue to elevate your cultivation level but instead focused on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.]

[Firstly, you knew that even with your exceptional talent, advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage would still require a significant amount of time.]

[Additionally, you knew your foundation wasn't deep enough and needed ample time to refine your Golden Core to exert greater combat power.]

[Thus, you began reducing the intake of Essence-Nourishing Pills, dedicating four hours daily to condense the Spiritual Energy within your body while refining the Golden Core.]

[In the tenth year, although your cultivation level didn't advance further, you felt the quality of your Golden Core became increasingly strong, with your internal Spiritual Energy at least 20% greater than when you first reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage.]

[You continued tirelessly refining your Golden Core, knowing that with the simulator, you had ample time.]

[One day, the Shadow Protector sought you out. Over the years, you had helped her refine countless elixirs, earning her immense trust and becoming her most vital confidant.]

[She called you to an instance, took out the corpse of a Shadow Beast, and invited you to join her in modifying your organs to free yourselves from the confines of your physical bodies.]

[Looking at the grotesque corpse on the ground made you feel nauseous. Unwilling to become a half-human, half-beast, you refused her offer.]

[The Shadow Protector wasn't surprised by your refusal. She said she would give you time to accept it gradually but warned that time was running out and urged you to join the primary race quickly.]

[You understood what she meant by having little time left. Due to the weakness of the Human Race, the Foreign Races' invasion was accelerating, and perhaps Demon-Subduing Pass would soon fall.]

[The destruction of the real world was an absolute disaster for you as it meant that the time left for your cultivation was rapidly dwindling.]

[You started pondering whether you could use your efforts to slow down the Foreign Races' invasion of the Human Race.]

[Over the years, you consistently acquired over two hundred herbs monthly, enough to refine nearly two thousand elixirs. Excluding the amount submitted for tasks and your own use, you accumulated over fifty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and Spirit-Nourishing Pills in ten years.]

[You considered whether you could give these elixirs to the high command of the Great Xia Military, knowing that if discovered, you would undoubtedly be treated as a traitor by the Descending Sect.]

[However, you also knew that if you did nothing, the real world would be destroyed in just over four years, leaving you with only four more years of simulation.]

[One day, you found an excellent excuse to go out temporarily. After ensuring nobody was following you, you used a Disguise Pill to change your appearance.]

[In disguise, you contacted Lu Yuanwu and told him you had a grand gift for him.]

[Naturally, Lu Yuanwu believed you were a fraud and didn't meet with you.]

[Helpless, you leveraged some connections to secretly contact Jin Congxue, securing a chance to meet with Lu Yuanwu.]

[On a deserted rooftop, you handed a storage ring containing over twenty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and more than ten thousand Spirit-Nourishing Pills to Lu Yuanwu.]

[These were a tremendous fortune. If utilized fully, the Great Xia Military could produce thousands of Grandmaster Level magic profession users within a year.]

[You instructed Lu Yuanwu to use the elixirs wisely and to conceal their origin and effects as much as possible. After handing over the elixirs, you departed.]

[In the eleventh year, you continued to refine elixirs, rarely going out except for essential tasks.]

[One day, the Shadow Protector came to you, along with Protector Zong and several other Elders.]

[Even through the mask, you could sense the unstable emotions of the Shadow Protector, and you immediately felt something was amiss.]

[Furious, the Shadow Protector demanded why you betrayed her and said that the Human Race was beyond salvation, and your actions wouldn't change anything.]

[Protector Zong claimed he had been watching you, intending to extract your secrets and refine you into elixirs to elevate his cultivation level.]

[You feigned confusion and asserted your loyalty, but when the Shadow Protector produced an Essence-Nourishing Pill, claiming it was obtained from the Great Xia Military, you knew you had been exposed.]

[A few Elders and the two Protectors advanced toward you menacingly. Knowing you were no match for them, you activated your spiritual power in the nick of time and fled into the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance.]

[Fortunately, you had prepared for this by stocking the Spirit Field Blessed Land with ample supplies, including thousands of Essence-Nourishing Pills and Spirit-Nourishing Pills, enough for an extended period of cultivation.]

[The Spirit Field Blessed Land was a safe haven that even Martial Emperor Level professions and Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators couldn't enter, allowing you to begin your cultivation in peace.]

[In the twelfth year, although you made no breakthrough in cultivation, the quality of your Golden Core further improved. You felt you were on the verge of forming a superior Golden Core.]
