    You have entered a wondrous state.

    In this state, you hardly feel the passage of time. Your eyes and mind are only focused on the Elemental Force before you.

    Your perception of the Elemental Force is incredibly sensitive, as if you could feel the subtle vibrations of the force on every inch of your skin.

    This is a detail you never noticed before – the vibrations!

    You maintain this state, carefully manipulating the vibrations of the Elemental Force on your skin, watching them spread out bit by bit.

    Ultimately, you wrap every inch of your skin with the force, forming an incredibly strong Elemental Force armor!

    In this wondrous state, your mastery of the Elemental Force rapidly increases!

    How long this state lasted, you do not know…

    When you regain consciousness, the feeling of enlightenment gradually disappears, and three days have already passed!

    You feel a sense of loss in your heart. The feeling of enlightenment is incredibly strange, you felt like you were becoming an omnipotent being, but now you have returned to being an ordinary person.

    You then reflect on your mastery of the Elemental Force, and you are stunned with joy!

    In a short three days, your mastery of the Elemental Force has reached the full Envelopment Stage, only a step away from External Projection!

    Su Xing wakes up and lets out a long sigh of relief.

    His clenched fists finally loosen slowly.

    “Whew~ Good luck, I triggered an accidental enlightenment, and in one go I entered the full Envelopment Stage. External Projection isn’t too far away now…”

    “Accidental enlightenment, one day of enlightenment is equal to ten years… hmph, doesn’t this mean that ordinary cultivators need forty to fifty years of hard practice to cultivate their Elemental Force to the full Envelopment Stage?”

    Su Xing’s face nearly turns black as he thinks about this.

    Sure enough, the path of Body Refining Cultivators is not something ordinary people can walk!

    Not only does it require extremely high physical fitness and Body Refining talent, but it also requires a very high level of comprehension.

    “Luckily, I have a cheat… otherwise, just this cultivation of Elemental Force alone would have stuck most cultivators…”

    Su Xing mutters to himself.

    Now that Su Xing’s Elemental Force has reached the full Envelopment Stage, his strength has not only increased further.

    Most importantly, he has taken a big step towards the Void-Breaking Realm!

    “There are still a few years left before the simulation ends. I wonder if I can break through to the third stage of Elemental Force – External Projection?”

    Su Xing is somewhat expectant, and his eyes look towards the simulation panel.

    【After your Elemental Force realm breaks through to the full Envelopment Stage, you do not slack off at all, and you continue to diligently cultivate your cultivation base.】

    【Year Eighteen, the mastery of Elemental Force is much more difficult than you imagined. You have been cultivating hard for a year, and you still haven’t made any progress.】

    【Year Nineteen, you continue to diligently cultivate every day, and you focus your cultivation efforts on Qi Refining cultivation and Elemental Force breakthrough.】

    【Year Twenty, your mastery of the Earth-Tier technique, the Thousand Flames Technique, has further deepened, and you have completely caught up to the progress of the Eternal Spring Technique.】

    【You discover that the Thousand Flames Technique, combined with the Fire of Departure, absorbs Spiritual Qi faster than the Eternal Spring Technique. You start cultivating the Thousand Flames Technique as your primary technique, and your cultivation speed slightly increases.】

    【Time flows like water, and in your tireless cultivation, three years quickly pass.】

    【Year Twenty-Three, your Qi Refining cultivation base has further deepened, and you are only one step away from entering the late Divine Transformation Realm!】

    【Year Twenty-Four, your Qi Refining cultivation base finally breaks through, and you successfully enter the late Divine Transformation Realm!】

    【Congratulations on successfully advancing to a Divine Transformation Realm Seventh Stage cultivator!】

    【Year Twenty-Five, you begin your final push, hoping to break through your mastery of the Elemental Force to the third stage before the apocalypse arrives.】

    【But you are ultimately unable to fulfill your wish. One day, a giant beast arrives, swallowing the entire Great Summer Country in one gulp.】

    【You are swallowed into the giant beast’s belly, and the terrifying power of the beast’s stomach, like spatial turbulence, savagely tears your body apart.】

    【Even though your flesh has reached the full Divine Force Realm, you still cannot last long.】

    【Your Divine Soul wanders through the beast’s stomach space, gradually losing consciousness…】

    【Your Divine Soul dissipates, and you die!】

    【Ding, this simulation is over!】

    After the simulation ends, Su Xing falls into thought.

    After a long time, he murmurs:

    “Alas, it seems that the cultivation of Elemental Force and the increase of Qi Refining cultivation base are much more difficult than I imagined…”

    Su Xing is inevitably somewhat disappointed. For several years, he has not been able to break through from the full Envelopment Stage of Elemental Force to External Projection. This speed is indeed a bit slow.

    In addition to this, the increase in Qi Refining cultivation is also more difficult than Su Xing imagined.

    It took Su Xing ten whole years to go from the Divine Transformation Realm Sixth Stage to the Seventh Stage!

    At this speed, Su Xing will need at least two more simulations to break through to the full Divine Transformation Realm…

    “Then, is there a way to save me one simulation and directly break through to the full Divine Transformation Realm within twenty-five years?”

    Su Xing thinks for a moment.

    Now Su Xing can think of the following methods to improve his cultivation speed.

    First, further plant more Gathering Spirit Flowers, further increasing the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Field Paradise.

    But this needs to consider Su Xing’s energy balance. Simulation energy that easily costs hundreds of millions, Su Xing cannot afford it now!

    Second, is to draw a Purple-Quality Spiritual Root!

    A higher level of Spiritual Root will undoubtedly increase Su Xing’s cultivation speed, but this depends on fate, which Su Xing cannot control.

    Third, is to switch to the Earth-Tier technique, the Thousand Flames Technique. In less than twenty years, Su Xing can cultivate it to the fifth level. At that time, his cultivation speed will be slightly faster than the Eternal Spring Technique.

    But this requires Su Xing to waste one of his simulation reward selection opportunities.

    Fourth, is to obtain more Spirit Liquid!

    Spirit Liquid is obviously helpful in increasing cultivation speed, but the Spirit Liquid in Su Xing’s hands is limited.

    It produces about a thousand drops a week, which is only fifty thousand drops a year, even providing for Su Xing’s cultivation as a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator is a bit insufficient.

    “Tsk tsk, a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, just cultivating using Spirit Stones alone, might consume tens of thousands of Spirit Stones a year… but in this era of declining cultivation, where are there so many Spirit Stones to support cultivation?”

    After thinking for a while, Su Xing comes up with a good idea.

    “Perhaps, next time in the simulation, I can accumulate a wave of Spirit Liquid, only collect it but not use it. In twenty-five years, I can save nearly 1.2 million drops of Spirit Liquid. Plus the Spirit Liquid harvested from the Spirit Field Paradise later, it should be enough for me to break through to the full Divine Transformation Realm, right?”

    Su Xing mentally does some calculations.

    Without accumulating Spirit Liquid and directly pushing towards the full Divine Transformation Realm, there is a high probability that it will also require two simulation times.

    But if he takes out Spirit Liquid next time and then pushes through in the simulation after that, he can break through to the full Divine Transformation Realm in one go. Not only is there no waste of simulation opportunities, but he is also essentially getting 1.2 million drops of Spirit Liquid for free!

    The price Su Xing needs to pay is just over 100 million energy.

    Using energy to exchange for Spirit Liquid, honestly, Su Xing feels it is not a loss.

    Because Spirit Liquid is an existing resource, it is beneficial to him not only in the Divine Transformation Realm cultivation but also in the Void-Breaking Realm afterwards.

    “This method should work…”

    Su Xing nods slightly, and with a plan for the next simulation in mind, he looks at the simulation panel.

    【Tiny and Also Cute】: Purple-Quality Innate Talent, price 1 million energy points.

    【Ten Years of Alchemy Experience】: Alchemy Insights, price 500,000 energy.

    【Divine Transformation Realm Seventh Stage Cultivation Base】: Qi Refining cultivation base, price 30 million energy.

    【One Hundred Thousand Drops of Low-Grade Spirit Liquid】: Congealed from extremely rich Spiritual Qi, it can nourish the Elixir Field and promote cultivation, it is easily absorbed. Price 1 million energy.

    【Elemental Force Cultivation Insights (Full Envelopment Stage)】: Insights into the full Envelopment Stage of Elemental Force, not far from breaking through to External Projection, price 20 million energy.

    【Earth-Tier Technique Thousand Flames Technique Cultivation Level (Fifth Level)】: Cultivation insights into the Thousand Flames Technique, the fifth level is equivalent to a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator’s cultivation base, price 10 million energy.

    Su Xing scans the simulation panel and murmurs:

    “Although this talent is good, it won’t be helpful in the short term. I can save it in the talent pool for now and take it out when I need it…”

    “Looking at it this way, I will choose the Divine Transformation Realm Seventh Stage cultivation base and the Elemental Force Cultivation Insights!”

    As Su Xing makes his choice, he hears the simulation’s prompt sound.

    【You successfully take out the Divine Transformation Realm Seventh Stage cultivation base, spending 30 million energy points, remaining energy 189,080,000 points.】

    【You successfully take out the Elemental Force Cultivation Insights (Full Envelopment Stage), spending 20 million energy points, remaining energy 169,080,000 points.】

    The simulation’s voice falls, and the next second, Su Xing’s aura begins to surge.

    Divine Transformation Realm Fourth Stage… Divine Transformation Realm Fifth Stage… Divine Transformation Realm Sixth Stage!

    Finally, it naturally breaks through to the Divine Transformation Realm Seventh Stage!

    In just a few breaths, Su Xing’s Qi Refining cultivation base increases by more than one level.

    Whether it is the total amount of Spiritual Qi or the quality, the late Divine Transformation Realm is stronger than the mid-stage by more than a star and a half!

    And Su Xing’s gains from this simulation are not just as simple as Qi Refining cultivation.

    Many insights about the Elemental Force appear out of thin air in Su Xing’s mind.

    At the same time, the Elemental Force all over Su Xing’s body also begins to vibrate and grow continuously.

    After a long time, Su Xing slowly opens his eyes.

    Feeling the increase in Elemental Force in his body, Su Xing smiles slightly.

    “This is… the peak of the Envelopment Stage of Elemental Force?”

    Su Xing can indeed feel that his Elemental Force has changed a lot, but he needs to try it out to be sure.

    Su Xing moves his mind, and the Elemental Force that is invisible to the naked eye wraps around every inch of his skin.

    From the vital areas, even to each of his fingernails, they are tightly enveloped by the Elemental Force.

    An invisible close-fitting armor firmly protects Su Xing.

    “I wonder how good the protection of this Elemental Force is?”

    Su Xing thinks about it and takes out the Spirit Sword, Ink Ice.

    As a Legendary-Level weapon, Ink Ice’s firmness and sharpness are imaginable.

    Su Xing swings the Ink Ice towards his forearm.

    This attack, Su Xing uses three-tenths of his strength.

    Duang~

    On Su Xing’s arm, the Elemental Force spreads outwards like ripples, like four ounces deflecting a thousand pounds, unloading most of the power of Su Xing’s attack, leaving only a small part that is evenly distributed to various parts of his body.

    “There is almost no pain… there is no feeling of being injured either!”

    Su Xing’s eyes brighten, and he is very satisfied with the performance of this layer of Elemental Force armor.

    “My three-tenths of strength… this means that in the case of the Elemental Force enveloping the whole body, even a Martial Emperor-Level expert would find it difficult to hurt me at all!”

    “As for the half-step Legendary-Level expert like the old dog, the majority of his attack would probably be evenly distributed by this Elemental Force armor, greatly reducing the damage to me!”

    Su Xing pauses and murmurs:

    “As for the Legendary-Level expert…”

    Su Xing shakes his head and is unsure about this.

    Legendary-Level experts are equivalent to Void-Breaking Realm experts, and compared to Martial Emperors, their strength is a qualitative improvement!

    Just relying on this Elemental Force armor is not enough to withstand a Legendary…

    “However, if I encounter that Void-Breaking Realm puppet from the ruins again, I should not die so miserably, right?”

    “If I can further comprehend External Projection-Level Elemental Force, perhaps I can even fight against that puppet!”

    Su Xing feels very happy for a moment.

    He understands why Body Refining Cultivators, who do not practice spells or divine abilities, can still stand shoulder to shoulder with Qi Refining Cultivators.

    Just this Elemental Force alone, it can attack and defend, absolutely equivalent to a top-tier divine ability!

    “It’s coming soon… After External Projection, I will learn that body-protecting inner energy and then try to enter the Limitless Land to break through the limits of the human body…”

    Su Xing’s eyes contain a hint of anticipation.

    After the simulation ends, Su Xing exits the Spirit Field Paradise. As soon as he takes out his phone, he receives a call.

    The caller is Liu Xiaodong, Su Xing’s homeroom teacher.

    “Hello, is this Su Xing, right?”

    Liu Xiaodong’s voice comes from the other end of the phone, and it seems to be somewhat flattering.

    “Yes, it’s me. What’s the matter?” Su Xing asks in confusion. Liu Xiaodong hasn’t given him the cold shoulder for a few years.

    Usually, the only reason Liu Xiaodong calls Su Xing is to cause him trouble. Why is his attitude different today?

    Liu Xiaodong quickly chuckles and says:

    “Su Xing, you said you were related to Vice Principal Lu earlier! Gosh… if you had said so earlier, the department wouldn’t have made you drop out, right? You’re really keeping a low profile…”

    Su Xing is confused and asks:

    “Vice Principal Lu?”

    On the other end of the phone, Liu Xiaodong nods quickly and says:

    “Yes, Lu Yuwu, Lu Martial Emperor! He has always been the honorary vice principal of our school!”

    “This time, he specifically called the department leaders and said that he had a relative who was dropping out, and he wanted to give him a position as the school’s librarian…”

    “Later, I asked around, hey, guess what? Turns out, Su Xing has been living a life of a recluse all these years! Su Xing, you’re really low-key…”

    Su Xing immediately realizes what is happening.

    Holy moly, this Jin Congxue is really efficient!

    It hasn’t even been an hour, and a position as the Kyoto Academy’s librarian has been arranged?

    Wait… isn’t what I asked for a librarian?

    While Su Xing is thinking, Liu Xiaodong quickly says on the other end of the phone:

    “Su Librarian, the enrollment scholarship you received all those years ago… I’ve kept it for you. It’s a few million, when will you come to get it?”

    “Your single dorm room, we’ve also tidied it up… You can move in tonight!”

    Hearing Liu Xiaodong’s flattering tone, if it were the old Su Xing, perhaps he would still feel relieved.

    But for the current Su Xing, he no longer cares at all.

    Therefore, Su Xing simply says calmly:

    “Okay, I know. Send me the dorm room location… As for that money, donate it to those in need.”

    Several million Great Summer Yuan, not even enough for Su Xing to bother going out for it.

    Su Xing is also too lazy to see Liu Xiaodong, a sycophant who bullies the weak, and doesn’t want to bother.

    After saying this, Su Xing hangs up the phone, tidies up his dorm room slightly, and then moves to his new dorm.

    His new dorm is located in a relatively secluded courtyard within the school, inhabited by the dean, school leaders, professors, etc.

    But these school leaders basically all have families, so this five-story dormitory building and the small courtyard in front of it are rarely inhabited.

    And Su Xing has a single dorm room, fully equipped.

    Since becoming a cultivator, Su Xing has lived a simple life. A cultivator generally doesn’t care about these material things.

    Moreover, Su Xing spends most of his time in the Spirit Field Paradise, even living in a small thatched hut.

    He doesn’t dislike it either.

    After tidying up a bit, Su Xing starts a new week of refining elixirs.

    And he starts setting up the Gathering Spirit Array in the Spirit Field Paradise.

    Since the Gathering Spirit Flowers were planted, a week has passed.

    Within this week, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Field Paradise has increased rapidly, and it is almost reaching the level of a paradise.

    At most another week, the paradise will be able to fully advance.

    At that time, it will be able to produce Spirit Liquid, and Su Xing should prepare early and set up the Gathering Spirit Array in advance.

    In a week, Su Xing only refined three thousand elixirs.

    The remaining time, Su Xing sets up three small Gathering Spirit Arrays and transplants a batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers.

    In this way, it won’t be long before Su Xing can harvest Spirit Liquid steadily.

    Time passes, and the day arrives when Su Xing and Jin Congxue meet.

    Jin Congxue has already been waiting in the villa.

    Today, Jin Congxue is wearing a black, sexy long dress, making her look very queenly.

    Su Xing blinks, walks over, and teases her:

    “Snow, do you change clothes every day just like this? Then your closet must be huge!”

    Jin Congxue rolls her eyes at him playfully, not saying anything.

    Even a delicate girl won’t dress up every day, right?

    This is clearly her deliberately dressing up for Su Xing. After all, they only meet once a week.

    Jin Congxue always treats this meeting as a little date.

    “Tch, eat your food!”

    Jin Congxue picks up a piece of sweet and sour spareribs and puts it in Su Xing’s bowl.

    Su Xing chuckles, not saying anything.

    After they have eaten their fill, they talk about business.

    Su Xing hands Jin Congxue the new week’s elixirs.

    Jin Congxue takes them and glances at them before putting them away, nodding:

    “Now the Tarot Association is indeed on track, and the remaining payments for acquiring the Cloud Reaching Merchant Guild are almost settled. You can relax a little, and don’t need to refine elixirs so hard anymore…”

    Jin Congxue then hands over a Storage Ring and says:

    “Here, this week’s goods!”

    Su Xing nods slightly and takes the Storage Ring, glancing at it. He then sees a flash of light in his eyes.

    Within this Storage Ring, in addition to white-quality equipment and copy junk, there is a third thing: Strange Metal!

    “Whoa, the mine copy is done? This fast?”

    Su Xing is quite surprised. If Strange Metal is added every week, Su Xing’s simulation energy will be able to increase a lot!

    Jin Congxue arrogantly lifts her delicate chin and says:

    “Of course, you’re not looking at who I am, right?”

    Su Xing gives a thumbs up. Jin Congxue’s business ability is really top-notch.

    The two chat for a while, and seeing that it is almost time, Su Xing returns to his dorm room, enters the Spirit Field Paradise, and prepares to start a new round of simulations.
