While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move 105

Chapter 105: Purple Quality Innate Talent, Sword-Crazy!

Seeing this newly drawn talent, Su Xing raised an eyebrow.

“This is already the third time I’ve drawn a talent related to swords. Could it be… that I’m naturally destined to be a sword cultivator, destined to become a supreme sword immortal?”

From the initial Sword Path Genius to the Sword Path Prodigy, and now even the purple-quality Sword-Crazy talent!

The saying goes “three strikes and you’re out,” and Su Xing was truly moved this time.

But what made Su Xing hesitate was that he didn’t have any cultivation techniques or secret manuals for sword cultivation. How could he cultivate with a sword?

Just then, Su Xing noticed a line of introduction following the talent… “In your ninth year of sword practice, you will comprehend the Thirteen Fatal Swords!”

“So, does this mean I can comprehend sword techniques on my own? If that’s the case, this talent is a must-pick!”

Su Xing’s heart skipped a beat.

“As for whether or not I can comprehend cultivation techniques, I’ll just have to try it out!”

Su Xing turned his gaze towards the simulation panel.

[Within the Spirit Field Paradise, you become aware of yourself being simulated.]

[You suddenly feel a deep interest in the sword. You take out a blue-quality sword weapon from your storage ring.]

[Sword in hand, you feel a surge of passion, believing you were born to wield the sword!]

[Thus, you begin to diligently practice swordsmanship!]

[This practice continues for three months.]

[During these three months, aside from your daily alchemy, you devote all your energy and focus to the Way of the Sword.]

[You haven’t had much contact with swords before, but you pick up the skill incredibly easily. Within just three months, you swing the sword tens of thousands of times, mastering several basic sword techniques you found online.]

[Within a short period, you become proficient in the fundamentals of swordsmanship: striking, thrusting, blocking, and deflecting. No longer satisfied, you desire to learn more advanced sword techniques.]

[Therefore, you decide to go to the Luo Tian Great Assembly instance to learn more superior swordsmanship.]

Su Xing’s heart moved. He silently muttered, “Use the immersive simulation function, duration two hours.”

[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation, consuming 200,000 energy points. Simulation time: 2 hours, remaining energy: 15,500,388 points.]

Su Xing heard the simulator’s notification.

The next second, Su Xing vanished from his spot and appeared in the Luo Tian Great Assembly instance.

It was the familiar mission process. Su Xing brought Shennong Shi Shu to pay respects to his master.

During this time, Su Xing also asked Shennong Shi Shu about sword techniques, but Shennong, a man who only focused on farming, naturally knew nothing about them.

Therefore, Su Xing could only go to the library, hoping to find a suitable swordsmanship for him.

Soon, Su Xing found a book in the library that he was aiming for — “General Compendium of Sword Cultivator Classics.”

Although the title was ordinary, it was one of the most important introductory books for sword cultivators. The reason was simple: it was written by Lü Dong, a famous sword immortal who had shaken the heavens tens of thousands of years ago!

This General Compendium of Sword Cultivation almost encompassed all the foundations of sword cultivation. It could be said that as long as one thoroughly understood this Compendium, they would have no problem learning any advanced sword techniques in the future.

Soon, Su Xing was immersed in the cultivation of this Compendium.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye. As the immersive simulation time neared its end, Su Xing did not hesitate to choose to renew it.

[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation, consuming 2,200,000 energy points. Simulation time: 22 hours, remaining energy: 13,300,388 points.]

Time became plentiful once again. Su Xing dedicated all his attention to the Compendium of Sword Cultivation.

From initial obscurity and confusion to gradual understanding, Su Xing finally absorbed the knowledge in this Compendium with fervor.

As he continued to learn, Su Xing felt his understanding of swordsmanship rapidly increasing.

He didn’t know how much time had passed. When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he was already back in the real world, but he didn’t notice it at all.

“嘶~ When did I come back to the real world… The immersive simulation ended, how did I not know?”

Su Xing’s eyes widened, then he realized something and mumbled in confusion, “Could it be that I entered a state of enlightenment just now?”

Su Xing digested the memories in his mind, feeling like he had instantly become an absolute master of swordsmanship theory!

“So, I have the Sword-Crazy talent. While learning the Compendium of Sword Cultivation, I inadvertently triggered enlightenment… which led to such progress?”

Su Xing was somewhat incredulous. Such a coincidence had happened to him, triggering an enlightenment talent during immersive simulation.

According to the saying that one day during enlightenment is equivalent to ten years of cultivation, Su Xing was at least equivalent to a master who had immersed himself in researching swordsmanship theory for ten years!

“啧啧, I was indeed lucky… The swordsmanship knowledge in my mind should be enough for me to digest for a long time, right?”

Su Xing closed his eyes and recalled. The Compendium of Sword Cultivation categorized mortal swords into three parts: Man, Earth, and Heaven, the Three Swords!

Among them, mastering the Man Sword could slay all enemies in the world, and there was no one in the mortal realm who could not be killed.

The Earth Sword, on the other hand, borrowed the great momentum of Heaven and Earth to form a sword of creation. One strike could change the celestial phenomena, causing mountains to crumble and seas to rage.

The final stage was the Heaven Sword. Upon mastering the Heaven Sword, one could directly ascend to the path of a sword immortal.

Su Xing spent a whole day studying the Compendium of Sword Cultivation during immersive simulation, triggered enlightenment, and was equivalent to learning the Compendium for ten years. He had only managed to read through the first part.

After that, Su Xing exited the immersive simulation.

However, just the first part, the cultivation of the Man Sword, was enough for Su Xing to digest for a long time.

“If I were to cultivate this Man Sword to perfection, perhaps I could truly achieve the feat of a Nascent Soul fighting a Divine Transformation Realm?”

Su Xing’s face showed shock and a hint of anticipation.

What youth has not dreamt of becoming a sword immortal, clad in white robes, wielding a celestial sword, standing aloof from the world?

Even Su Xing was no exception.

Thinking about it, Su Xing’s face flushed with excitement. He couldn’t wait to start simulating again.

[You emerge from the Luo Tian Great Assembly instance, eager to practice swordsmanship.]

[Thus, you spend six hours every day practicing the most basic sword techniques, and you master them completely.]

[Three months later, Wang Qingxuan finds you.]

[You reluctantly abandon your sword practice temporarily. After one night, you and Wang Qingxuan join the Descent Sect.]

[You display extraordinary strength and astonishing alchemic skills in the sect. You successfully join the faction of Luo Shuying.]

[The next day, you tell Luo Shuying the code phrase, earning her trust.]

[Luo Shuying helps you obtain many medicinal herbs. You spend two hours every day refining medicinal herbs, and you choose to spend more time cultivating.]

[In your second year, you become the eighteenth elder of the Descent Sect, codenamed “Medicine Elder.”]

[You dedicate more of your thoughts to the cultivation of swordsmanship. Your combat ability rapidly improves.]

[You do not choose to go back to the Luo Tian Great Assembly instance, because the swordsmanship knowledge in your mind is enough for you to cultivate for a long time.]

[In your third year, you betray the Descent Sect with Luo Shuying and take away most of the treasures in the sect’s treasury.]

[Several guardians and elders of the Descent Sect chase after you, but they did not expect that you had already contacted the Great Summer military and had killed all the elders and guardians who came to pursue you.]

[In your fourth year, due to having enough spiritual energy and taking Dragon Spirit Pills daily, your cultivation rapidly increases. You become a Nascent Soul Realm second-level cultivator.]

[In the same year, due to your daily body forging and sword cultivation, as well as sufficient blood essence and Primordial Martial Pills to replenish your body, your body refinement cultivation reaches the Primordial Martial Realm eighth level!]

[In your fifth year, you refine Soul-Calming Pills and give them to Luo Shuying. The strength of the Spirit Race increases significantly.]

[In the same year, Luo Shuying becomes a Legendary-level powerhouse.]

[In your sixth year, you still ensure you dedicate two hours to sword practice every day, but you focus more on cultivation and alchemy.]

[This year, you exhaust all the medicinal herbs you have accumulated, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster-level and hundreds of Heavenly King-level powerhouses to the Great Summer Country.]

Seeing this, Su Xing nodded, but his mind was constantly thinking.

“Six years have passed. There will be no more alchemy pressure after that. So, should I focus on sword cultivation or on improving my cultivation?”

Su Xing didn’t know how difficult it would be to cultivate the Compendium of Sword Cultivation. But considering that mastering it could lead to immortality, it was definitely incredibly challenging.

He didn’t know how much time it would take to master the first part, the Man Sword.

The uncertain time investment made Su Xing hesitate. But thinking about the significant increase in strength once he mastered the Man Sword, Su Xing became determined again.

“I have to cultivate the sword! But I need to divide the risks. Four hours of practice per day is enough. The remaining time can be used to try to improve my cultivation. In case sword cultivation doesn’t work out, I can still get enough cultivation, so it’s not a loss.”

At the same time, Su Xing also had a glimmer of hope. What if, just what if, he triggered another enlightenment while cultivating the sword? Wouldn’t that be a huge gain?

With this mentality, Su Xing continued the simulation.

[In your seventh year, you continue to spend four hours practicing the sword every day, but in addition to sword practice, you start trying to refine Divine Force Pills.]

[You cut off a section of the Divine Force Vine grown in the Spirit Field Paradise, grind it into fine powder as medicine, then take out the other medicinal herbs for refining Divine Force Pills. After completing all the preparations, you begin refining Divine Force Pills.]

[Because you have limited Divine Force Vine, you estimate that you can refine at most five hundred furnaces of Divine Force Pills. Therefore, you cherish every opportunity to refine them.]

[In the first month, you refine one furnace of Divine Force Pills every day. You try to refine thirty furnaces in a month, but all thirty furnaces fail. The difficulty of refining Divine Force Pills is greater than you imagined.]

[In the second month, you still refine thirty furnaces of Divine Force Pills, with zero successful ones, a failure rate of one hundred percent.]

[In the third month…]

[In the fourth month…]

[In your eighth year, you refine Divine Force Pills for a year, almost exhausting all the five Divine Force Vines you have. However, you have not been able to successfully refine a single furnace, and your skill panel still shows that Divine Force Pill refinement is at the “unmastered” stage.]

[You understand that this is because the difficulty of refining Divine Force Pills far exceeds your current capabilities. Under normal circumstances, you cannot refine them successfully unless you enter a state of enlightenment!]

[You look at the half-stalk of Divine Force Vine left in your hand, hoping to trigger enlightenment and successfully refine it.]

[More than a month later, as expected, you fail. You do not enter a state of enlightenment, and the Divine Force Vine in your hand is completely consumed.]

Su Xing’s eyes widened, and he sighed, “Sure enough, the refining of these Divine Force Pills is more difficult than I imagined. It seems that there’s no way to refine them successfully through ordinary methods…”

“Since that’s the case, I can only try my luck…”

Su Xing’s idea was to attempt refining Divine Force Pills in every simulation. And the refining process should be slow enough, for example, four hours per furnace.

This way, Su Xing would have more time refining Divine Force Pills, increasing the probability of triggering enlightenment!

And within several, or even tens of simulations, Su Xing would definitely be able to succeed once. At that time, he would be able to consume the Divine Force Pills.

Of course, this was just Su Xing’s idea. Whether or not it could be implemented successfully depended on his luck.

“But before that, reaching the Primordial Martial Realm grand completion is something I must accomplish!”

Su Xing muttered.
