Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Chapter 101: Do you understand the value of sudden enlightenment?

Translator: 549690339

[In this marvelous state of sudden enlightenment, your mind is exceptionally pure, and previously incomprehensible questions seem to be suddenly illuminated as if drenched by a timely rain, the blockage cleared away.]

[Boosted by the state of sudden enlightenment, you became wholly immersed in the mastery of Origin Force, forgetting time, forgetting to eat and sleep, and your proficiency in controlling Origin Force improved by leaps and bounds each day!]

[Three days later, you slowly emerged from this marvelous state of sudden enlightenment and were astonished by the changes within yourself.]

[The good news is, your mastery over Origin Force reached the second phase, Origin Force Enwrapment!]

[The bad news is, since you were in a state of sudden enlightenment for three consecutive days, and neglected to tend to your Gathering Spirit Flowers, all the more than ten immature Gathering Spirit Flowers you owned withered away]

Su Xing felt a wave of embarrassment upon seeing this.

“Goodness, who would have thought such a random epiphany could be so powerful? Merely three days of enlightenment and I actually directly entered the second phase of Origin Force’s operation! If I were to follow the normal pace of cultivation, it would take at least thirty years to step into the second phase, right?”

“If you calculate it like that, in the state of enlightenment, a single day’s insight is worth ten years of hard training!”

Su Xing’s lips curved up crazily, he had figured it out.

This random enlightenment was a “lottery-type talent”; it’s an invisible talent on regular days, but once fortuitously stimulated, Su Xing was definitely in luck, as though he won the lottery.

“Just how powerful is this Origin Force Enwrapment stage after all?”

Su Xing’s eyes showed a hint of curiosity as he continued to simulate.

[When your mastery of Origin Force successfully entered the second phase, you inflated unprecedentedly. You used the force training machine specially crafted by the Great Xia Military and discovered that your strength has neared eight million jin under the use of Origin Force!]

[Such a terrifying magnitude of strength is far beyond what any Heavenly King Level professional can achieve, leading you to make a bold decision; you challenged Martial Emperor Level powerhouse Lu Yuanwu to test whether your strength had reached the Martial Emperor Level.]

[You were pressed to the ground by Lu Yuanwu and thoroughly roughed up. This taught you that although your strength had tremendously increased, there was still a vast chasm between you and an established Martial Emperor Level powerhouse like Lu Yuanwu.]

[You asked Lu Yuanwu what level your strength actually was at, and Lu Yuanwu told you that with your strength you were considered invincible amongst those at the Heavenly King Level, but victory was still impossible against a Martial Emperor Level.]

[You were incredulous and asked why the gap was so vast.]

[Lu Yuanwu told you, for a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse to kill a Heavenly King Level powerhouse was as simple as squashing an ant. When you could achieve such a feat, that would mean you’ve reached the threshold of the Martial Emperor Level.]

[Your previously swelling ego was shattered because you knew although you could defeat Heavenly King Level professionals, you were far from being able to do it instantly.]

[Thus you reflected deeply and continued to train with determination!]

[In the fourteenth year, you were hopelessly addicted to cultivation, feeling your bodily strength become increasingly powerful, and took a firm step closer to Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm!]

[In the fifteenth year, Luo Shuying’s homeland suffered a massive invasion by the Foreign Race, tens of thousands from the Spirit Race perished in battle, and thousands of Luo Shuying’s Spirit Race compatriots fled to Blue Star.]

Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this and muttered,

“At the beginning, Luo Shuying’s homeland was destroyed in just the eighth year, but now it’s managed to hold out until the fifteenth year. It’s clear that the Soul Condensing Pills have had a significant impact on the Spirit Race’s strength, allowing them to hold on for an additional seven years.”

After a pause, Su Xing sighed again:

“Alas, is the gap between Martial Emperor Level and Heavenly King Level really so huge? Even after mastering the way to harness Origin Force, I still can’t defeat a Martial Emperor Level expert…”

“And those at Martial Emperor Level are equivalent to veteran Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouses… With this in mind, I’m still far from being able to solo defeat that damned Zong!”

“It seems that I can only wait until my Qi Refining Cultivation reaches the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, then perhaps I could fight against a Martial Emperor Level expert?”

Su Xing was uncertain about his actual strength level, but he thought that increasing his cultivation was always good.

Thus, Su Xing continued the simulation.

[In the sixteenth year, you consume Demon Emperor Flesh Essence every day, and your strength increases rapidly. In this year, your cultivation finally takes a firm step forward, and you become a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm!]

[Your breakthrough inflates your confidence, so you challenge Lu Yuanwu again, but once again he pins you to the ground and rubs you into it.]

[You ask Lu Yuanwu how strong you are, and he says flamboyantly that to him, you are just a slightly bigger ant.]

[After hearing this, you are greatly hit and turn your grief and indignation into motivation, hoping to break through to the Divine Strength Realm.]

[In the seventeenth year, you train day and night, your physical body becomes even more perfect, and your strength increases considerably from the previous year. Encouraged, you continue to train hard.]

[In the eighteenth year, the growth of your cultivation slows down, but you still make progress. Believing in the rewards of diligence under the Heavenly Dao, you train even harder.]

[In the nineteenth year, your cultivation remains at the Great Perfection stage of the Origin Martial Realm. You start to pray for a state of enlightenment that could lead to breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm.]

[In the twentieth year, enlightenment still does not come to you, so you start looking for other methods. You place your hopes on an elixir called the Divine Strength Pill, hoping to break through the realm by refining it.]

[But you encounter the biggest problem, the fact that neither the entire Great Xia Country nor the Descending Sect’s treasury have the main ingredient needed to refine the Divine Strength Pill: the Divine Power Vine!]

[Divine Power Vine is an extremely rare medicinal herb that needs to be cultivated for a hundred years before it can be used in medicine. Eventually, you find a few seeds of the Divine Power Vine among the gifts Qing Yunzi left for you, but at this point, it’s too late to plant them, so you have to give up for the time being.]

[In the twenty-first year, your cultivation still remains at the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm, and your improvement slows. Therefore, you focus more on understanding and utilizing Origin Force.]

[In the twenty-second year, you become ever more adept at using Origin Force, able to wrap it around any part of your body, significantly enhancing your defense and firmness.]

[In the twenty-third year, your cultivation hits a standstill, but you continue to practice the usage of Origin Force relentlessly.]

[In the twenty-fourth year, the strength of your Origin Force surpasses the previous level, proving that your hard work was not in vain.]

[In the twenty-fifth year, the Foreign Race gathers a large army to attack Demon-Subduing Pass, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers hold out for several months, but eventually, the city falls, and everyone perishes—Demon-Subduing Pass is finally breached!]

[In the same year, a giant beast that blots out the sky descends into the real world and swallows the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp.]

[You are swallowed by the giant beast and you die!]

[Your talent, unwilling to close its eyes in death, activates…]

[Ding, this simulation has ended!]

After the simulation ended, Su Xing fell into deep contemplation.

“As expected, advancing to the Divine Strength Realm from the Origin Martial Realm isn’t so easy. My current cultivation level has already reached the seventh layer of the Origin Martial Realm; it won’t be long before I face the difficult challenge of breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm…”

“To overcome this obstacle, there are only two methods. The first is to have another breakthrough in body cultivation talent! A purple-grade body cultivation talent could possibly allow me to cultivate my body faster, giving me a greater assurance of breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm…”

“But drawing a purple-grade body cultivation talent purely depends on luck! With bad luck, it’s possible that even after dozens of simulations, I might not draw it, so I can’t place my hope on this!”

Su Xing took a deep breath and muttered to himself:

“Therefore, the most reliable method is to refine the Divine Strength Pill. With the power of the elixirs, coupled with the essence of the Demon Emperor’s flesh and the enhancement of the Glutton King talent, perhaps I can breakthrough to the Divine Strength Realm…”

“To refine the Divine Strength Pill, I must first cultivate the Divine Strength Vine, which takes a hundred years to grow. Even with my affinity for plants, I’m afraid it will still take twenty or thirty years, right?”

“Even if I manage to cultivate the Divine Strength Vine, that is only the first step. I also have to master the method of refining the Divine Strength Pill, which adds difficulty upon difficulty…”

Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a headache coming on, feeling that there was still a long road ahead before he could break through to the Divine Strength Realm.

“Alas, let it be! I should focus on the matter at hand and choose my simulation rewards first…”

Su Xing sighed, turning his gaze towards the rewards from this simulation.

[Random Epiphany]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points.

[Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 3 million energy points.

[Twenty-Five Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 500,000 energy.

[Demon Emperor Flesh Essence 10 pounds]: The essence of the Demon Emperor, containing an abundance of life force, priced at 10 million energy.

[Thirty Mature Gathering Spirit Flowers]: Priced at 3 million energy.

[Origin Force Cultivation Achievements]: Containing the insights and outcomes of Origin Force cultivation, choosing this can directly grant the Coiling Stage (Second Stage) Origin Force, priced at 10 million energy.

Looking at the simulation rewards in front of him, Su Xing did not overthink and quickly made his decision.

“I choose the Purple Talent Random Epiphany and the Origin Force Cultivation Achievement from this simulation!”

The choice of the Purple Talent was obvious; the Random Epiphany was akin to a divine skill, capable of equating one day of cultivation to ten years if triggered!

Su Xing’s expectation for this talent was not high. He hoped that at least once during the simulation, he would trigger a random epiphany, right?

If triggered, Su Xing would be making a huge profit!

As for Su Xing’s second choice, the Origin Force Cultivation Achievement.

It was simply because the cultivation of Origin Force took too much time. Including Su Xing’s twenty years of cultivation along with a three-day epiphany, the integrated cultivation time had exceeded fifty years!

It’s as if Su Xing spent a full fifty years to cultivate his Origin Force to the second stage, the Coiling Stage!

If he didn’t choose this time, and there was no epiphany next time, Su Xing would really lose out.

As for Gathering Spirit Flowers and the Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection Cultivation Level, these were things that Su Xing could obtain if he was willing to spend time, so they were not an immediate concern.

After Su Xing made his selection, the simulator’s prompt tone quickly rang in his ear.

[Ding, it has been detected that your current talent slot is full. Expanding to a second additional talent slot will cost 100,000 simulation energy points, do you want to expand?]

[You may also choose to replace one of your current talents, which will require 100,000 simulation energy points, do you want to replace?]

After hearing this, the corner of Su Xing’s mouth twitched. Wasn’t it just 10,000 simulation energy points last time? Why does expanding the talent slot cost a hundred thousand now?

One hundred thousand energy points wasn’t a lot for Su Xing, but at this rate, he feared that the third additional talent slot would require a million energy points!

However, replacing a talent also required one hundred thousand energy points, so for Su Xing, it made more sense to expand to an extra talent slot.

“I choose to expand the additional talent slot!”

[Ding, you have chosen to expand an additional talent slot, spending 100,000 energy points, remaining energy 34,801,666 points.]

[You have chosen to take the Purple Talent Random Epiphany, spending 1 million energy points, remaining energy 33,801,666 points.]

[You have chosen to take the Origin Force Cultivation Achievement, spending 10 million energy points, remaining energy 23,801,666 points.]

Looking at the rapidly decreased prompts on the simulation panel, a pained expression appeared on Su Xing’s face.

“Sigh, this simulation has really bled me dry, spending nearly twenty million energy points… At this rate, no matter how much energy I have, it won’t be enough!”

However, Su Xing understood that the reason for such a huge expense this time was because of his cultivation of Origin Force, and including the immersive simulation fees, the cost had nearly reached twenty million.

“Sigh, I hope the enhancement brought by Origin Force is worth the eighteen million energy points!”

With Su Xing’s choices made, two mysterious powers soon descended upon him.

The purple light symbolizing the Random Epiphany Talent fell upon Su Xing and quickly vanished.

Immediately after, Su Xing’s mind was filled with a flood of memories about Origin Force cultivation… As the memories poured in, Su Xing’s mastery of Origin Force surged rapidly.

No, it wasn’t just the influx of memories!

The amount and strength of Origin Force within Su Xing’s body also increased several times in an instant!

After a long time, Su Xing opened his eyes, his face displaying shock as he looked at the Origin Force covering his hands and murmured:

“Hss~ With the control of Coiling Stage Origin Force, could it really offer such a terrifying enhancement?”
