Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[Having no choice, you requested Luo Shuying and the general guarding Demon-Subduing Pass to bring you some Demon Emperor Flesh Essence.]

[In the seventeenth year, Luo Shuying once again brought you two hundred catties of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence.]

[When she handed you the flesh essence, her face was somewhat pale, as though she had suffered no light injury.]

[You hurriedly inquired about her injuries, why she was wounded, but she just chuckled, shook her head, and left, mustering her strength.]

[Later, you learned from Lu Yuanwu that to obtain the Demon Emperor-level Flesh Essence for you, Luo Shuying personally ventured into the ranks of the Demon Race army, slew two Demon Emperors, but she was also besieged by two Legendary Level Demonic Beasts and barely escaped, while suffering severe injuries.]

Su Xing felt moved upon seeing this.

Slaying Demon Emperors was not an easy task, not even for Legendary Level powerhouses.

Since Demonic Beasts have a much higher vitality than the Human Race, a Legendary Level powerhouse might easily kill a Martial Emperor, but it would be difficult to instantly obliterate a hundred-meter-tall Demon Emperor. After all, they’re huge, extremely vital, like freaking Godzilla.

Moreover, on the battlefield, a Demon Emperor would not necessarily act alone.

To kill a Demon Emperor amid tens of thousands of Demonic Beast troops and retreat with your life is indeed not an easy matter, even for a Legendary Level powerhouse, who, with one misstep, could fall into danger.

And yet, Luo Shuying was willing to risk her life for him.

Su Xing sighed and continued to look at the simulation panel.

[Afterward, you wanted to help Luo Shuying recover from her injuries as soon as possible, so you concocted numerous Healing Pills.]

[But for a Legendary Level powerhouse, the effect of Healing Pills was almost nonexistent. Even the finest Healing Pills only worked on Grandmaster Level powerhouses and were very difficult to use in treating Heavenly King Level ones.]

[You revisited Li Fire Alchemy and found a type of healing elixir called Bone Restoration Pill, famed for its ability to mend broken bones and even effective for Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation Cultivators.]

[However, you knew that while Bone Restoration Pill could be effective for Legendary Level powerhouses, it would certainly not work wonders instantly, so you found another concoction among the higher-mid tier elixirs, the Revitalizing Pill, which could even heal wounds of Cultivators in the Return to Void Realm and might be miraculous for Luo Shuying.]

[Sadly, the main ingredient for Revitalizing Pill, Dragon Pattern Grass, was hard to come by, so you had to give up for the time being; on the other hand, the three medicinal ingredients for Bone Restoration Pill: Silver Moon Flower, Hundred-Year Polygonum and Steadheart Grass, could all be found in the treasure vault of the Descending Sect.]

Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows upon seeing this. Indeed, Healing Pills were recovery-class elixirs without a grade, simple to concoct and the ingredients easy to source, effective for the vast majority of professionals at Gold and Master Levels.

However, for those powerful professionals, possessing stronger vitality, they could naturally recover from minor injuries. But once seriously wounded, it would be troublesome, potentially taking a year or even several years to heal.

To treat these high-tier powerhouses required ingredients containing more life energy, which usually meant heaven-and-earth treasures were needed.

The number of higher-level recovery-class elixirs produced in the instance was scarce, but Su Xing was different. His alchemy could stably produce mid-higher level healing pills.

Once he succeeded in his research, the strength of the Human Race at Demon-Subduing Pass would increase substantially!

Just think, if the Human Race’s Heavenly Kings and Martial Emperor level professionals could recover from injuries in just a few days, they would undoubtedly be able to take on three or even more on the battlefield!

Thinking of this, Su Xing murmured,

“It seems I will need to pay attention in the future simulations and try to concoct higher-level elixirs.”

But this wasn’t something to be rushed. Su Xing still started the next simulation.

[You tried to find hundreds of Silver Moon Flowers and Steadheart Grasses among the medicinal materials you brought from the Descending Sect, and as for the Hundred-Year Polygonum, it was still plenty available in the Great Xia Country.]

[After confirming you had the basic ingredients for concoction, you did not make elixirs but continued to steadily cultivate and increase your own level.]

[In the eighteenth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level remained at the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm without a breakthrough. Still, your physical strength had improved by nearly one-tenth compared to when you first entered the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm. You were pleasantly surprised, understanding that it was due to consuming Demon Emperor Flesh Essence for the past two years that the high-level energy essence gradually enhanced your physique.]

[This also made you realize something: within the same realm, due to differences in talent and foundation, the strength could be widely disparate, so you tried to make yourself as strong as possible within the same realm.]

[In the nineteenth year, you still worked hard to temper your physique and consumed Demon Emperor Flesh Essence daily. The two hundred catties of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence that Luo Shuying had brought you before were now gone. However, in these past few years, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass had intensified. Both Human Race Martial Emperors and Demon Emperors had fallen, thus providing you with sufficient flesh essence.]

[Drawing from your previous experience of breaking through the Body Cultivation Realm, you understood that to stably move from the Origin Martial Realm to the Divine Strength Realm, you must strive to enhance your own physical strength. So, besides diligently cultivating your Qi, you put more emphasis on improving your Origin Martial Realm cultivation.]

[In the twentieth year, your physical strength improved further. You had increased your strength and physical toughness by nearly two-tenths compared to when you had first entered the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm. As your physical strength grew, you discovered that you could consume more Demon Emperor Flesh Essence daily. You took half a catty of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence every day, and your strength continued to rise steadily.]

[That same year, your Qi Refining Cultivation level broke through, and you became a Nascent Soul Stage Six Cultivator!]

[In the twenty-first year, your good friend Yu Yan died fighting at Demon-Subduing Pass. You felt sorrowful, but you knew this sadness might continue for a long time, as more familiar friends and relatives would die at Demon-Subduing Pass as the day of the apocalypse drew nearer. Eventually, everyone would die at the hands of the colossal beasts when they descended.]

[So you doubled down on your cultivation, desperately enhancing your cultivation level. You feared the arrival of that day, even more afraid of watching your beloved die before your eyes.]

[In the twenty-second year, the strength of your physical body became further formidable, and your Qi Refining Cultivation was ever closer to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage.]

[In previous years, you attempted to refine Divine Strength Pills daily, hoping to trigger a serendipitous epiphany of talent, but undoubtedly you failed. Fate had not sided with you, but you believed that as long as you kept trying diligently in each simulation, good fortune would eventually come.]

[In the twenty-third year, the quality of your body continued to steadily improve, though it had slowed considerably since you first broke through to Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm. You knew that every stage of cultivation had its limits, and you might be close to touching those limits.]

[In the twenty-fourth year, you finally made a breakthrough, successfully advancing to the later stages of the Nascent Soul period and becoming a cultivator of the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage!]

[In the twenty-fifth year, the Human Race suffered a disastrous defeat at Demon-Subduing Pass, with hundreds of thousands of Great Xia soldiers perishing in that battle at Demon-Subduing Pass, leading to the collapse of the Pass and the Human Race teetering on the brink of extinction.]

[You didn’t expect the apocalypse to still erupt that year. You initially thought it would come later, but it still happened in the twenty-fifth year with the fall of Demon-Subduing Pass. You knew that perhaps time had reached a critical point, and you needed to make as many changes as possible to delay the end of the world to a greater extent.]

[With the fall of Demon-Subduing Pass, colossal beasts descended upon the real world.]

[That beast, large enough to block out the sun, swallowed the entire Great Xia Country whole, and you were consumed into the belly of the beast.]

[You died!]

[Your innate ability, Human Nuclear Bomb, activated!]

[At the moment of your explosion, your entire body evaporated on the spot, your talent of “unwillingness to die with eyes closed” failed %]

[Boom! A human nuclear bomb equivalent to ten thousand super-Tsar Bomba exploded in the belly of the beast, this enormous energy… caused the beast to have diarrhea for several days…]

[Ding, this simulation is over!]

Su Xing was stunned by this scene.

“What the hell, ten thousand super-Tsar Bombas, and it only caused that giant beast to have diarrhea for a few days?”

“What level of existence is this giant beast? Could it really be God Level? Or even something higher?”

Su Xing’s expression turned grim, a nuclear bomb represented the pinnacle of Blue Star’s technological might.

Even a Martial Emperor Level warrior could merely ignore the radiation of a nuclear bomb, not daring to claim they could stand at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion unscathed.

Yet these ten thousand super-Tsar Bombas couldn’t even seriously injure the beast, they just gave it indigestion?

Reflecting on this, Su Xing understood the long and arduous task ahead.

Su Xing’s conviction almost faltered for a time upon realizing the vast disparity between the enemy and himself. Was there really still any point in resisting?

Somewhere within, a force was urging Su Xing on, a tenacious belief, and his eyes regained their resolve.

“I have the bug-like ability to simulate the future; I can definitely drive out that beast! If not once, then twice; if not twice, then ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times!”

“My strength is continuously growing, while the might of the Foreign Race remains unchanged. In this war of attrition, victory will undoubtedly belong to all of humanity!”

Su Xing clenched his fists.

With his fighting spirit restored, Su Xing began to review this latest simulation.

This was a simulation that persisted until the end of the world, Su Xing had lived a sufficient length of time.

During this time, Su Xing had nearly accomplished his goals.

His body cultivation reached Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm, just a step away from breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm!

And his Qi Refining Cultivation had also reached the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage, perhaps with one more attempt, Su Xing could become a cultivator of Great Perfection in the Nascent Soul Stage.

So the next goal was to try breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm.

The bad news was that the Divine Strength Pill had not been successfully refined, but Su Xing would continue to attempt it.

“Besides that, I must also schedule the refinement of higher-level healing elixirs…”

Su Xing rubbed his temples, then shifted his gaze to the rewards selection on the simulation panel.
