Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[In the twentieth year, you took out the more than 200,000 drops of Spiritual Liquid accumulated over the years, ready to begin seclusion for a breakthrough.]

[One month later, your Cultivation Level successfully broke through.]

[Congratulations, you have become a Cultivator of the third layer of the Return to Void Realm!]

Su Xing looked at the simulated text in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, cultivating with Spiritual Liquid and high-grade Spirit Stones is much faster than with low-grade Spirit Stones!"

"From the first layer to the second layer of the Return to Void, it only took two and a half years... but from the second to the third layer, it actually took a full seven to eight years!"

Su Xing shook his head slightly, even this speed was achieved by consuming some Spiritual Liquid during the period.

Otherwise, it probably would have taken another year...

"Alas, I hadn't enjoyed myself for a few years... and then my speed of cultivation was suddenly set back to its original pace!"

Su Xing shook his head slightly. Looking at the overall speed, Su Xing's simulation of breaking through to the fourth layer of the Return to Void appeared hopeless.

"After all, it's still a lack of resources! All those Spirit Stones and Spiritual Liquid I saved up before... won't last a few years..."

Su Xing realized that he was still grumbling about the difficulty of cultivating in the Return to Void Realm. Only when there was an abundance of Spiritual Liquid and high-grade Spirit Stones could his Cultivation Level advance by leaps and bounds, growing rapidly.

"However, it's not bad... at least every time I simulate, I get to experience the thrill of soaring Cultivation Level!"

Su Xing knew he should not be ungrateful.

After all, every realm in Cultivation is harder to advance than the last.

If a Cultivator, under the condition of unchanged cultivation resources and talent, needs ten years to advance one layer in the Divinity Transformation Stage,

then, upon reaching the Return to Void Realm, it would take them decades, or even a century to break through...

The difficulty increases geometrically!

However, this is also why, for countless years, although there have been numerous Cultivators, very few have become immortals.

Without talent and resources, you want to Cultivate?

What the hell kind of Cultivation are you doing!?

There's no way around it! This is what Cultivation is like...

"Fortunately, I can still ensure a cultivation speed similar to that of the Divinity Transformation Stage during the Return to Void Realm, which is already a stroke of luck!"

"But if it's after the Integration Phase, without additional resources, I'm afraid it would be even harder to increase the Cultivation Level..."

Thinking of this, Su Xing's heart grew even more yearning...

Eager to obtain that Spiritual Dragon from the relics of the Wan Mu Sect!

"Hmph! Once I'm strong enough, I'll definitely capture a Spiritual Dragon to raise at home!"

Thinking this, Su Xing's gaze returned to the simulation panel.

[In the twenty-first year, you used low-grade Spirit Stones for cultivation, spending 43,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, with slight improvement in your Cultivation Level.]

[In the twenty-second year, you consumed 43,000 low-grade Spirit Stones...]

[Thus, three more years passed.]

[By the twenty-fifth year, the Demon-Subduing Pass had been fully invaded by the Demon Race army.]

[Knowing that time was short, you consumed all the Spiritual Liquid you had gathered over the years and went into seclusion for a month... but your Cultivation Level still did not break through to the fourth layer of the Return to Void Realm...]

[At this point, your Cultivation Level had finally made it to the latter half of the third layer of the Return to Void Realm, but there was still a considerable gap from the fourth layer.]

[You had not yet exhausted the more than 400,000 low-grade Spirit Stones in your hands, but you decided to make another trip to the Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[On this day, hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts, three Demon Emperors, and countless armies of the Demon Race descended upon the Demon-Subduing Pass!]

[Human Race powerhouses suffered heavy deaths and injuries, and the entire Demon-Subduing Pass was on the verge of being breached.]

[Alone, you battled a Legendary-level colossal beast, fought for over a hundred rounds, and slew a thick-skinned Legendary Demon Beast.]

[But at the same time, Human Emperor powerhouses were besieged and killed, and you too were slain by a Demon Emperor who was free to act...]

[Your Divine Soul was obliterated by the Demon Emperor...]

[You died!]

[Ding, this simulation has ended!]

After the simulation ended, Su Xing sighed deeply and murmured:

"Indeed, no matter how many Legends are slain by one's strength alone, it's hard to change the situation..."

"Unless I have the power to slay the Demon Emperor!"

But Su Xing also knew that it wasn't very realistic to achieve this in a short span of time.

"Fifteen years of cultivation, from the first layer of the Return to Void to halfway through the third layer... This speed isn't slow!"

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.

After all, this time Su Xing's goal was merely to reach the first layer of the Return to Void, but he exceeded expectations and achieved additional goals!

"And now, it's time to collect the simulation rewards!"

Su Xing rubbed his hands together excitedly, eyes on the simulation panel.

[Great Talent Maturing Late]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points.

[Twenty-Five Years Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including insights into Void Refinement Pill (Mahayana Level), priced at 10 million energy points.

[Return to Void Realm, Third Layer]: Entry into the Void Domain, achieving Return to Void Realm, and having undergone the perfect baptism of the Void Thunder, enhancing Spiritual Power several times over that of the Divinity Transformation Stage. Priced at 300 million energy points.

[Divine Sense of 31,000 feet]: Achieving Return to Void, breaking into the Void Domain and undergoing the perfect baptism of Divine Thunder, Divine Sense greatly increased. Priced at 210 million energy points (Note: this reward cannot be combined with the first-time baptism of the Void Divine Thunder.)

Su Xing looked at the rewards in front of him with satisfaction; they were much more generous than after the last simulation ended!

As for the choice of rewards, naturally, Su Xing had little to fret over.

The Great Talent Maturing Late talent was not very useful to Su Xing at the moment.

And since Su Xing had already reached the third layer of the Return to Void Realm, there was almost no use for Mahayana Level Void Refinement Pill alchemy skills...

Therefore, Su Xing's choices were narrowed down to the Cultivation Level of the Return to Void Realm and Divine Sense!
