Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Su Xing paused, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.

"It's just, it feels like Qing Yunzi in this simulation... seems different from before?"

"He clearly tested my aptitude and age before, why test it again?"

Su Xing found it perplexing.

"However, what I can be sure of now is that joining Qingyun Sect... isn't as plain sailing as I imagined!"

"Because of Qing Yunzi... I can only simulate for less than sixty years!"

Su Xing carefully considered the gains and losses of this simulation.

Going to Qingyun Sect did provide a wider world.

He could obtain more resources, even many treasures...

But the cost was significant. Once Qing Yunzi emerged from seclusion, Su Xing would surely meet his end!

"... Not necessarily. If I leave for other Minor Thousand Worlds before Qing Yunzi comes out, maybe I won't run into him?"

"However, the greatest benefit of Qingyun Sect for me should be acquiring rare magical artifacts and high-grade elixirs..."

That's what Su Xing thought.

If it were to enhance Body Refinement, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains would be the first choice. The Demonic Beasts' flesh essence there was sufficient for Su Xing to grow rapidly.

If it were to enhance Qi Refining Cultivation, Su Xing had the Spirit Field Cave on Blue Star, countless drops of Spiritual Liquid, and the Spirit Vein Dragon... All these were his alone and were purer in terms of improving his cultivation.

"As for what's happening behind the scenes with Qing Yunzi, perhaps... the Heavenly Secret Pavilion has the answer?"

Su Xing took a deep breath, thinking about the Class A intelligence in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. If he could obtain it, he might get closer to the answer!

At this moment, Su Xing's thoughts were a bit chaotic.

He had always considered Qing Yunzi and Qingyun Sect as his backers.

But now...

The world hustles for profit, everyone strives for personal gain!

Even if Qing Yunzi was a Daluo Golden Immortal... he was no exception!

"For a Daluo Golden Immortal... to act against a junior, the temptation must be unimaginable?"

"Could it be... that Luo Tian holds the secret to Becoming a Saint!?"

The only temptation Su Xing could think of that would drive a Daluo Golden Immortal to such lengths was the pursuit of a higher realm...

Becoming a legend, a Saint!

This isn't the so-called saint on Earth, not even a Demon Saint could compare... but a supreme realm above Daluo!

"Sigh, with my current strength... I'm not qualified to participate in this at all!"

"The only thing I can do now is to stabilize my development and further enhance my strength!"

Su Xing sighed, turning his attention to the rewards of this simulation.

[Ziling Garment]: Supreme defensive Immortal Artifact, immune to cold and heat when worn, woven by Immortal Ziling, able to resist attacks below the Immortal Realm, difficult for ordinary Human Immortal Realm individuals to break the garment's defense, priced at 23 billion energy points.

Su Xing looked at the rewards in front of him, eyes filled with desire.

"Damn it, I want all these rewards this time!"

"But unfortunately... I can only choose two..."

Su Xing sighed.

He first focused on the most valuable three supreme Immortal Artifacts and that Void Stone!

"A supreme Immortal Artifact... requiring nearly 20 billion energy, isn't that a bit too expensive!"

Su Xing sighed again.

Would these three Immortal Treasures significantly enhance Su Xing's strength?

That was certain!

But the problem was, even obtaining them wouldn't solve the fundamental issue!

Not to mention that Su Xing's realm wasn't high enough to fully utilize their power.

Even if he could use them to their full potential, there were no enemies on Blue Star he needed to face...

When it came to the likes of the Damned Dragon, Su Xing could deal with them without weapons.

But when it came to Blood Three, or giant beasts... Su Xing wouldn't be a match even with a weapon!

One couldn't expect to rely on a single Immortal Artifact to defeat True Immortals or even Golden Immortal-level experts, right?

"These Immortal Artifacts... are tasteless to use yet regrettable to discard..."

"The main issue is, these Immortal Artifacts aren't worth the huge cost to obtain..."

Su Xing lightly sighed. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at three other rewards.

Mahayana Second Layer cultivation realm!

This was something Su Xing had to choose...

So the dilemma was between Body Refinement Great Achievement Eighth Layer and Beginner Level Space Power Insight.

"Space Power is indeed precious... But I can completely comprehend it through Immersive Simulation, only needing 720 million energy points to reach the beginner level... That's a tenfold difference!"

After a brief hesitation, Su Xing decided that taking out cultivation was the most worthwhile.

"A total of four layers of cultivation realm needing 8 billion energy points..."

"But luckily, the 10,000 tons of third-tier Alien Metal promised by Lu Yuanwu is about to arrive... 20 billion energy points, enough for me to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Realm!"

A slight smile emerged at the corner of Su Xing's mouth.

Without rushing to redeem the rewards, Su Xing began to disguise himself and suppress his aura, preparing to find Lu Yuanwu.

At the agreed place, Lu Yuanwu had already been waiting for a long time.

"Senior, here is the promised 10,000 tons of third-tier Alien Metal!"

Lu Yuanwu respectfully handed over several storage rings.

Su Xing took the storage rings, and with a thought, the simulator's prompt sound came to his ears.

[Ding, detected a large amount of energy-containing materials, worth a total of 20 billion energy points. Redeem?]

(Today is a small burst... I really can't write anymore~)
