Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 259: Chapter 169: Su Xing's Small Goal, Aiming for the Broken Void Realm! (5k)_3

[Just as I encountered a Demon Emperor charging atop the city wall.]

[Without hesitation, Origin Force enveloped my Ink Ice Sword, and then I slashed out!]

[This stroke cut the Demon Emperor in two. I collected the Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor and began to examine the injuries of the surrounding soldiers.]

[To my surprise, among the soldiers who'd been ambushed, there was my good brother Yu Yan!]

[After more than a decade, Yu Yan had not only survived in Demon-Subduing Pass but had even broken through to the level of a Heavenly King!]

Seeing this, the corners of Su Xing's mouth slightly curved upward.

"Indeed, Fatty Yu is not so easy to die!"

"He's still alive in Demon-Subduing Pass after ten years, that puts my mind at ease..."

Su Xing reflected with a sigh.

It had been over a month since their graduation.

Yu Yan had also successfully joined the forces at Demon-Subduing Pass, fighting for the Great Xia Military.

During this time, Su Xing occasionally contacted Yu Yan. After the trials of the battlefield, Su Xing clearly felt that Yu Yan had become much more composed.

Previously, Su Xing had also sponsored the soldiers at Demon-Subduing Pass through Jin Congxue, in the name of the Jin Merchant Guild.

Among them, he gave Yu Yan several purple epic-class pieces of equipment.

Yu Yan was one of his few friends, and naturally, Su Xing did not want to see him get into trouble.

Therefore, he helped whenever he could, and these pieces of purple equipment significantly enhanced Yu Yan's ability to survive.

"Speaking of which... by this time next year, my little sister should be graduating too, right?"

Su Xing sighed, having spent the past year busy with simulations and increasing his strength; he hadn't even gone home for the holidays.

Su's little sister also attended a top academy in the south. With his newfound wealth, Su Xing occasionally transferred some money to her.

The influence of the Jin Merchant Guild was not small in the south.

As a result, Su Xing even asked the Jin Merchant Guild to employ his little sister, who performed some safe missions with generous rewards from time to time.

This allowed his little sister's strength to grow significantly faster.

Recalling all these past events, Su Xing's eyes reflected a mix of emotions.

He too wanted nothing more than to spend every day with his family and friends.

But the apocalypse weighed on Su Xing's mind like a mountain.

Su Xing thought that as long as he cultivated to immortality and his strength was sufficient,

would it be difficult to accompany his parents and family for a hundred years, or even a thousand or ten thousand years?

With this thought, Su Xing's determination to pursue the path became even more tenacious, his gaze turning towards the simulation panel.

[After saving Yu Yan, I began to observe the situation on the battlefield.]

[As expected, although the Human Race had many more powerful cultivators over the years thanks to me, compared to the might of the Foreign Race, they were still far behind.]

[In most cases, humanity could only rely on the mighty Demon-Subduing Pass to fend off the invasions of the Demonic Beasts.]

[Witnessing all this, I only cultivated more diligently.]

[In the eleventh year, I still maintained my cultivation of Origin Force, and despite the presence of Origin Force seeds, the time I could spend cultivating Origin Force each day was merely five hours.]

[The rest of the time was spent battling enemies at Demon-Subduing Pass, reducing the losses of the Human Race.]

[Even though I knew it was a simulation, I could not stand idly by and watch my friends and fellow humans die before me.]

[I killed many Demon Emperors, but by now the Flesh Essences of Demon Emperors were no longer of much use to me.]

[So I began researching whether the Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor could enhance the strength of the Human Race professionals.]

[According to my research, when ordinary Human Race professionals consumed Flesh Essence of the Demon Emperor, they could hardly digest the energy within, so their strength only increased slightly.]

[Therefore, I attempted to research turning the Flesh Essence into Elixirs, hoping to enhance the strength of the Human Race in this manner.]

[In the twelfth year, I studied the medicinal properties of Flesh Essence during my spare time, while maintaining my daily cultivation.]

[According to Li Fire Alchemy, there was an Elixir called Rebirth Pill, which was only of low grade.]

[Its effect could compensate for the innate deficiencies of Qi Refinement practitioners. Even those with weak physical constitutions could greatly improve their physique after consuming several Rebirth Pills, almost comparable to the early stages of Body Refinement Cultivators.]

[And the main ingredient was the flesh of some precious Spirit Pets, as it contained the essence of life.]

[According to my idea, if the main ingredient was slightly modified, the effect of Demonic Beast Flesh Essence might be even better.]

[So I continued my cultivation while attempting to refine new Elixirs.]

[In the twelfth year, I made a minor breakthrough in my cultivation of Protective Gang Qi, nearing the Mahayana Level.]

[That same year, my research on Rebirth Pills also progressed further. Initially, I used Demon King Flesh Essence as the main ingredient, and while the effect was outstanding, the potency was too wild, with significant side effects.]

[I didn't use humans for the experiment, only capturing some monsters from the simulations to test.]

[I observed that some monsters increased in strength after consuming the pill, but some burst open and died.]

[I wasn't satisfied with the outcome, so I tried improving the pill's formula in my spare time away from daily training.]

[In the thirteenth year, my Divine Skill of Protective Gang Qi was getting closer and closer to Mahayana Level.]

[At the same time, after many revisions, the side effects and instability of the Rebirth Pill had been greatly reduced, but it was still not safe enough to be used on professionals.]

[Amidst the arduous cultivation and countless revisions to the Elixir over two years, time steadily passed.]

[In the fifteenth year, on a sunny and peaceful afternoon, my years of hard work paid off, and my Divine Skill Protective Gang Qi finally entered the Mahayana Level!]

[Simultaneously, my mastery of Origin Force grew closer to perfection, approaching the third stage's completion.]

[That same year, I finally refined the Rebirth Pill - its potency was so strong that it could even compare to a mid-grade Elixir!]
