Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[New Era 2044, your body refinement cultivation level advanced once again.]

[Every day, you plan your time reasonably, focusing on improving your body refinement cultivation level and continuing to search for traces of Damned Dragon in the Void Domain.]

[Thus, another three years passed by.]

[New Era 2047, your divine sense grew to 90,000 zhang.]

[One day, while your consciousness roamed the vast void, you sensed a familiar divine presence.]

[It was the Damned Dragon, whom you had been searching for over many years.]

[You pretended to encounter Damned Dragon by chance, and he was quite surprised when he discovered the extent of your divine sense.]

[Eventually, the two of you managed to meet.]

[Damned Dragon was very curious about your appearance and began to inquire about your origins.]

[You brushed him off, but from the conversation with Damned Dragon, you learned a significant piece of information.]

[Damned Dragon claimed to be from the Blood Demon Sect...]

In the real world, Su Xing's eyes narrowed upon reading the text before him, as memories of the term Blood Demon Sect started to resurface in his mind.

"If I remember correctly... the Blood Demon Sect, should be in the Blood Demon Grotto instance, right?"

About a year ago, when Su Xing first delved into the Cultivation World, he obtained information from the Great Xia Military about three cultivation-related instances.

They were the Luo Tian Convention, Blood Demon Grotto, and the Immortal Martial Era Instance! (see Chapter 36 for details)

Among them, the Blood Demon Grotto had the highest difficulty, rated as a four-star instance.

It was said that cultivators below the Martial Emperor Level should not venture to explore it, due not only to the power of the cultivators within the Blood Demon Sect Instance, but also to their inhumane and murderous tendencies toward any intruders.

Over the past year, Su Xing had been busy dealing with the Descending Sect and exploring the Luo Tian Convention and the Final Law Era Instances.

He had somehow forgotten about the existence of the Blood Demon Grotto cultivation-related instance waiting to be explored.

"Could it be, this Damned Dragon is from the Blood Demon Grotto instance?"

"No, that can't be... The Blood Demon Grotto instance is teeming with high-level cultivators, so how could their cultivation levels grow so rapidly when nature's spiritual energy is exhausted?"

"Could it be that the Blood Demon Grotto instance contains a vast amount of spiritual energy?"

Su Xing's curiosity was immediately piqued.

After pondering for a while, Su Xing muttered to himself:

"It seems I should make time to explore this Blood Demon Grotto instance... whether it's any special connection with Damned Dragon or the mystery behind the growth of these cultivators... It's all worth exploring!"

With that thought, Su Xing's gaze returned to the simulation panel.

[Damned Dragon had a long conversation with you, constantly probing for your background during the encounter.]

[But of course, you knew Damned Dragon was up to no good, so you stayed on your guard.]

[Before long, Damned Dragon proposed that the two of you hunt a Xuan Grade spirit of the void together.]

[Naturally, you wouldn't refuse, and so you and Damned Zong headed to the location of the spirit of the void.]

[The Xuan Grade spirit of the void was naturally no match for the two of you, even though both of you concealed your true strengths and harbored ulterior motives, you still managed to kill it.]

[Just as you were negotiating how to distribute the spoils of battle, Damned Dragon suddenly attacked you in an attempt to catch you off guard.]

[But you had anticipated this and quickly activated your divine sense attack technique, condensing your divine sense into a golden cauldron.]

[Instead of fleeing from Damned Dragon's sneak attack, you counterattacked head-on!]

[To your surprise, Damned Dragon's divine sense strength was actually below yours, and his method of divine sense attack was also slightly inferior to your Auspicious Golden Cauldron.]

[After fighting over hundreds of rounds with Damned Dragon in a gentleman's battle, you quickly inflicted serious injuries on him.]

[In the end, Damned Dragon fled in panic, and you devoured the Xuan Grade spirit of the void.]

[After consuming the Xuan Grade spirit of the void, your divine sense strength surged yet again, reaching 95,000 zhang!]

[Naturally, you didn't let Damned Dragon go and pursued his divine sense, hoping to deal him a heavy blow!]

[Although Damned Dragon wasn't as good as you at attacking with divine sense, he was extremely adept at escaping.]

[After chasing him for months in the Void Domain, he eventually escaped it...]

[Seeing that killing Damned Dragon was hopeless, you also had to temporarily leave the Void Domain.]

In the real world, Su Xing looked at the text before him, his face showing a peculiar expression.

"Damn it, are Damned Dragon and Damned Zong cut from the same cloth?"

"Why are they both so good at running away?"

Su Xing gritted his teeth.

However, he also understood that in this era of declining spiritual energy, the cultivators who have survived until now are all extremely adept at preserving their own lives.

"But... if Damned Dragon's divine sense strength is actually weaker than mine... doesn't that mean he's still only at the Great Perfection level of the Return to Void Realm?"

Su Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

He began to wonder if he had been overestimating Damned Dragon's strength all this time.

Because Su Xing's divine sense was only 90,000 zhang, although his divine sense had reached the Microcosm Realm, it probably wasn't stronger than that of a Body Integration Realm cultivator...

But Damned Dragon, with a weaker divine sense, definitely had less than 100,000 zhang and hadn't even reached the Microcosm Realm!

This was the divine sense strength of a great perfection cultivator in the Return to Void Realm!

Because if Damned Dragon had broken through to the Body Integration Realm, his divine sense would definitely be much stronger than it is now!

"Tsk tsk... Maybe I've been overthinking it... Since Damned Dragon only has the strength of the Return to Void Realm Great Perfection, it seems I can attempt to kill him after all!"

Su Xing thought to himself.
