Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[The eighth year, you had already been able to set up an excellent quality first-level minor Spirit Gathering Array.]

[You consolidated your foundation, inscribing this array on all the spirit carp in the pond.]

[Day by day, you made rapid progress in learning the Spirit Gathering Array.]

[Thus, two years passed.]

[The tenth year, you had been able to successfully inscribe an excellent quality minor Spirit Gathering Array.]

[When successfully operating, this Spirit Gathering Array matched the cultivation progress of a Four Elements Mixed Spiritual Root cultivator tirelessly cultivating day and night.]

[However, for you, this speed was still a bit slow.]

[So, you continued to attempt studying the third-level minor Spirit Gathering Array.]

[The eleventh year, you achieved a significant breakthrough in your understanding of the minor Spirit Gathering Array and successfully set up a third-level minor Spirit Gathering Array.]

[Thus, you began trying to inscribe the Spirit Gathering Array on the spirit chicken.]

[The flow of Spiritual Power in the spirit chicken was very different from that in the spirit carp, and in this process, you gained a deeper understanding of the essence and circulation of Spiritual Power.]

[Thus, another three years passed.]

[The twelfth year, you successfully inscribed a fourth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array.]

[If this Spirit Gathering Array were inscribed on the spirit chicken, it could allow the spirit chicken to cultivate at a speed comparable to that of a dual-type Spiritual Root cultivator.]

In the real world, Su Xing couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

"This minor Spirit Gathering Array sure is incredibly wondrous!"

"Inscribe it on a chicken, and it allows the chicken to cultivate at the speed of a dual-type Spiritual Root cultivator?"

It should be known, not every cultivator possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root or a True Spiritual Root.

A dual-type Spiritual Root was considered genius level among ordinary cultivators.

And possessing a minor Spirit Gathering Array was equivalent to mass-producing genius cultivators!

"At this rate... if I succeed in understanding the sixth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array, wouldn't that allow me to create cultivation aptitude nearly on par with a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator?"

"At that point... it would mean my cultivation aptitude would be doubled again!"

Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

He looked towards the simulation panel.

[Successfully set up a fourth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array, your mastery of this array had approached minor achievement, and your progress slowed down slightly.]

[But you didn't get discouraged and still used the spirit carp and the spirit chicken to practice setting up the minor Spirit Gathering Array every day.]

[Thus, another two years passed.]

[The fourteenth year, you had been able to set up an excellent level minor Spirit Gathering Array, and its passive cultivation speed was slightly faster than an ordinary dual-type Spiritual Root cultivator.]

[You began to attempt studying the fifth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array.]

[The fifteenth year, the setup of the fifth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array was even more difficult than you had imagined.]

[In just one year, the number of spirit carp that died in your hands reached several thousand, and the number of spirit chickens also exceeded a thousand.]

[You discovered that these spirit pets couldn't withstand the high-level minor Spirit Gathering Arrays due to their limited aptitude, and the rapid absorption of Spiritual Energy would cause their bodies to burst.]

[Thus, your study of the minor Spirit Gathering Array hit a bottleneck.]

[The sixteenth year, you began cultivating better spirit chickens and spirit carps and used them to study the fifth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array.]

[At the same time, you began to try inscribing the minor Spirit Gathering Array on puppets.]

[Thus, another two years passed.]

[The eighteenth year, through your relentless effort, you finally managed to barely master the setup of the fifth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array.]

[The fifth-level Spirit Gathering Array allowed cultivators with a Four Elements Mixed Spiritual Root to cultivate at a speed comparable to those with a True Spiritual Root!]

[Even more impressively, this minor Spirit Gathering Array operated continuously for 24 hours, making its effect even more terrifying.]

[The nineteenth year, your mastery of the fifth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array reached a new height.]

[You thought you were probably ready to use yourself as a test subject and inscribe the fifth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array on your own skin.]

[But to be cautious, you decided to experiment with Xiaomei first.]

[The puppet you named Xiaomei had already been confirmed by you as a puppet cultivator, different from ordinary puppets in that it could cultivate and enhance its cultivation level.]

[From the Foundation Establishment Stage Xiaomei had originally reached, she had now become a Golden Core cultivator.]

[Compared to the spirit carp and spirit chickens, though Xiaomei the puppet cultivator had no autonomous consciousness, her structure was closer to that of an ordinary cultivator.]

[If the minor Spirit Gathering Array could successfully operate on Xiaomei, it would mean you also could inscribe it on yourself.]

[One day, after making thorough preparations, you began attempting to inscribe the fifth-level minor Spirit Gathering Array on Xiaomei.]

[You first carefully sensed the circulation of Spiritual Energy within Xiaomei, and this process alone lasted for several hours.]

[After all, unlike the numerous spirit carps, you only had one puppet cultivator Xiaomei, so you had to act with caution.]

[You took out the materials for setting up the array and began trying to inscribe the minor Spirit Gathering Array on Xiaomei's back.]

[The Spirit Brush traced beautiful lines on the puppet's back; you devoted yourself entirely, immersing yourself in the inscribing process of the minor Spirit Gathering Array.]

[With each stroke, you strived to be as meticulous as possible.]

[Thus, a day and a night passed...]

[You meticulously controlled every detail, and at this moment, your minute divine sense manifested itself fully, with beads of sweat faintly appearing on your forehead.]

[After several more hours, your hand grasping the brush had become somewhat stiff... your whole body's Spiritual Power and divine sense started to become unstable.]
