While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move

Chapter 256: Chapter 168: Exploring the Ruins, Encounter with a Spirit Dragon, Astonishing Appearance of a True Immortal in the Body Integration Realm! (5k)_3

[Through lip-reading, you decipher that he says, "Why did the Huangquan Pill malfunction, and why did he become a 'living dead'... Only by devouring living souls can life be prolonged..."]

[Ding, this simulation has ended!]

After the simulation ended, Su Xing furrowed his brows in deep thought, seemingly pondering something.

This simulation had indeed uncovered a shocking major secret within the ancient tomb ruins!

"The treasure within this ancient tomb relic is simply too astonishing... those several acres of spirit fields with spiritual medicines..."

"Or that juvenile dragon-shaped spirit vein! If one could obtain it... immortality, aspirations of becoming an immortal could have hope!"

Su Xing couldn't help but get excited.

But then his brows furrowed tightly again. With Su Xing's current strength, it was really unrealistic to think of obtaining the treasure in that relic.

After all, there was a sleeping True Immortal there!

"That green-robed cultivator... could he really be a True Immortal-level powerhouse?"

Su Xing felt a sense of poignancy. Even cultivators in the Body Integration Realm, if unable to break through, would ultimately reach the end of their lifespan.

"This time, the information brought by the 'Unwilling to Close Eyes in Death' Talent proved crucial..."

Su Xing murmured softly.

"So the reason for the spiritual energy exhaustion in the Immortal Martial Era Instance might be because it converged all of the world's spirit veins into that dragon-shaped spirit vein... in pursuit of a breakthrough, right?"

"However... it seems True Person Wan Mu failed, clearly consuming the Huangquan Pill, yet becoming a 'living dead' due to malfunctions, his vitality will eventually vanish, turning into a puppet without a conscious divine soul..."

"With such a massive setback, it's likely that True Person Wan Mu's Dao heart will collapse... eventually degenerating into demonic cultivation, right?"

Su Xing roughly deduced what had happened two or three thousand years ago in the Immortal Martial Era Instance based on the information from this simulation.

And in that Damned Zong's diary, it was also recorded that roughly two thousand years ago, the spiritual energy in the Immortal Martial Era was rapidly depleting, and cultivators were losing hope of emerging.

Perhaps at that time, True Person Wan Mu had already taken away the world's spirit veins, so nature's spiritual energy was diminishing, which probably led to Damned Zong also falling into a deep slumber, right?

"So... was the world's spiritual energy depletion caused solely by True Person Wan Mu?"

Su Xing muttered to himself, then slightly shook his head.

Based on the current information, it was impossible to deduce.

Perhaps it was all due to True Person Wan Mu...

Or perhaps it was the decline of nature's spiritual energy that led True Person Wan Mu to despair over his breakthrough, hence seizing the world's spirit veins and then falling into slumber in pursuit of a breakthrough.

Su Xing had no way of knowing the exact process.

"Well... that dragon-shaped spirit vein is something even immortals would covet intensely, right?"

A look of longing appeared in Su Xing's eyes.

Although he currently lacked the strength to covet the dragon-shaped spirit vein, Su Xing was determined to try to subdue this spirit dragon when the time was right!

"When it comes down to it, I'm still not strong enough!"

"With my current strength, although not far from the Broken Void Realm... defense is sufficient, but pure offensive power is still lacking."

Su Xing slightly shook his head, his gaze turning towards the rewards on the simulation panel.

[Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points.

[Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 500,000 energy points.

[Origin Force Cultivation Insights (Mahayana Level)]: Advancing to the third stage Mahayana in mastering Origin Force, cultivating the seed of Spiritual Power within the body, perpetuating the Origin Force unceasingly, not far from perfection, priced at 50 million energy points.

[Low Grade Spiritual Liquid 1 million drops]: Priced at 100 million energy points.

[Protective Gang Qi (Mahayana Level)]: Origin Force Divine Skill, Mahayana level Protective Gang Qi, nothing can invade within three feet of the Gang Qi, if the Gang Qi is unbroken, then the person is unharmed. Priced at 50 million simulation energy points.

[Wishful Visualization Technique (Entry Level)]: Contains insights into the Wishful Visualization Method, enhancing the range of Divine Sense to 9,900 feet (Fifth Sense Realm), not far from entering the subtleties of the Divine Sense Realm, priced at 29 million energy points.

Looking at the simulation options before him, Su Xing fell into thought.

It had to be said that the rewards from this simulation were the most considerable ones Su Xing had encountered recently.

Whether it was Origin Force Divine Skills, Origin Force, or Divine Sense... even the talents were top-notch rewards.

"In terms of cost-effectiveness, this Mahayana-level Origin Force insight is undoubtedly a must-select!"

"After all, this simulation triggered a chance epiphany, and the mastery of Origin Force is probably not far from the third stage's completion..."

The three days of epiphany in this simulation were equivalent to letting Su Xing cultivate for an additional thirty years.

Su Xing was confident that in the next simulation, he should be able to completely master the Origin Force to the third stage's completion!

"As for the other options... Divine Sense, Origin Force Divine Skill, or talent, I seem to want them all!"

Su Xing hesitated for a moment, and after deep thought, he still decided to choose the Spiritual Root talent.

After all, this was the rumored Heavenly Spirit Root! Su Xing undoubtedly had to select it!

If not chosen this time, the next simulation would necessarily also require spending energy to draw from the reward pool, at that time it would mean spending several million or even ten million more energy points.

Moreover, the earlier one obtains it, the sooner enjoyment begins, who knows, it might even provide some benefits when Su Xing breaks through to the Broken Void Realm.

As for Protective Gang Qi, Su Xing now had Mahayana-level mastery over Origin Force with a seed of Origin Force within him, which allowed for longer use of Origin Force Divine Skills.

Therefore, the next time he cultivates Protective Gang Qi, it should be easier, and he could even reach Mahayana level from the start. If he's fortunate enough to have an epiphany, he might reach perfection directly!

As for Divine Sense... frankly, Su Xing was somewhat reluctant.

With just a little more effort, his Divine Sense could break through ten thousand feet.

Perhaps there would be new changes at that time, entering the next realm of Divine Sense.

"Divine Sense of the Micro Realm... that's truly something to look forward to..."

Su Xing slightly shook his head, then silently spoke:

"I choose the third-stage Mahayana Origin Force mastery, as well as the Wood-Fire Dual-type Heavenly Spirit Root talent!"

As his words fell, a notification sound from the simulator rang in Su Xing's ears.
