    Su Xing’s face lit up with joy. This was the extraordinary nature of the simulator. Even if Su Xing, in the simulation, had been poisoned by consuming too many elixirs, upon exiting the simulation, the cultivation he brought out would already be free of the poison, with no worries.

    “At this rate of growth… perhaps combined with the如意观想图 (如意 Visualization Diagram), my divine sense can reach a vastness of ten thousand zhang (a traditional Chinese unit of measurement, roughly equivalent to 3.3 meters)!”

    A gleam of light flashed in Su Xing’s eyes. Ten thousand zhang of divine sense, this even surpassed ordinary Returning Void Stage cultivators. Yet, he was about to possess it while still in the Divine Transformation Realm…

    “Besides, the speed of my elemental force enhancement is also extremely fast…”

    “Through cultivating Protective罡气 (a type of defensive cultivation technique), constantly tempering my own elemental force, I can make my elemental force progress rapidly!”

    Su Xing nodded slightly. This was a piece of cultivation insight that Niu Ru Lie had mentioned to him before. This was also the reason why Su Xing had chosen to bring out the Small Accomplishment level Protective罡气 from his last simulation.

    He looked at the simulation panel.

    [Eleventh year, this year your understanding of the如意观想图 has made a small breakthrough, your divine sense range has expanded significantly, reaching eight thousand eight hundred zhang!]

    [At the same time, you keenly discovered that after observing the如意观想图, your divine sense, apart from expanding in range, seems to have undergone some subtle changes.]

    [Within your divine sense range, you seem to be more aware and understanding of changes in things, even the movement of a fly tens of thousands of meters away is crystal clear to you.]

    [This is a capability you did not possess before. Previously, your cultivation of divine sense mainly focused on expanding its range.]

    [But now, you have discovered that in addition to being able to perceive farther, your divine sense’s perception can also be more delicate…]

    [You are at a loss for a moment, but this perception is not always present, you can only use it occasionally when you have a flash of inspiration.]

    [Even so, you feel that your divine sense has become much stronger.]

    [Twelfth year, on a sunny afternoon, you were cultivating your elemental force as usual in the Spirit Field Paradise.]

    [After two hours of arduous cultivation, your body’s elemental force was exhausted.]

    [You rubbed your aching body and prepared to sit cross-legged in meditation.]

    [At this moment, you suddenly felt a mysterious change in your body.]

    [Like an old well that has been dry for decades, now it is constantly emitting a trickle of water.]

    [Except, what emerged from your body was not well water, but elemental force!]

    [The originally depleted elemental force, as if re-injected with vitality, began to recover rapidly…]

    [Surprised, you quickly sensed the changes in your body.]

    [But at this moment, your five senses became incredibly sharp, your mind became exceptionally agile, and your comprehension instantly increased hundreds of times.]

    [You have triggered the random epiphany state!]

    [In the state of epiphany, you gained a new understanding of elemental force.]

    [Elemental force is not only the sharpest spear, the strongest shield, but also an endless river that flows into the sea!]

    [Endless vitality is the essence of elemental force!]

    [In this state of epiphany, you can feel that a seed has been silently planted in your Elixir Field.]

    [This is an elemental force seed.]

    [Right now, the elemental force seed is continuously outputting elemental force, nourishing your exhausted body.]

    [You carefully observe this seed and discover that the speed at which it outputs the stream of elemental force is not fast, but it is constantly replenishing it every minute and every second.]

    [You try to control the elemental force seed, hoping to make its output speed faster.]

    [You carefully prod the elemental force seed with your mind, and gently caress it with your body’s elemental force.]

    [You tried for a long time and finally felt that the speed at which the elemental force seed replenished your elemental force was slightly faster.]

    [Joy filled your heart, and you tirelessly tried, repeatedly activating the elemental force seed.]

    [You are so engrossed in this mysterious state of epiphany that three days pass slowly…]

    [After three days, when you exit the state of epiphany, you feel a sense of loss.]

    [But then, you hold your mind steady and feel the breath of the elemental force seed in your body, and your heart is filled with joy.]

    [Elemental force seed, this is the mark of the great completion of the third stage of elemental force!]

    [With the elemental force seed, your ability to sustain combat using elemental force will undergo a qualitative change!]

    [Because the elemental force seed in your body will continuously replenish the consumption of your body’s elemental force.]

    [Moreover, your elemental force seed clearly does not look like it was just planted, but rather like it has been polished for a long time, the speed of elemental force replenishment is extremely fast!]

    [Congratulations on successfully entering the Outpouring Level Great Completion of Elemental Force!]

    Upon seeing this, Su Xing’s eyes lit up with joy.

    “I didn’t expect… a single epiphany would actually plant an elemental force seed!?”

    “嘶~ (a sound of surprise) With this elemental force seed, my ability to sustain combat using elemental force will probably double, even triple!”

    In the cultivation insights for elemental force that Niu Ru Lie had imparted to Su Xing, he had mentioned the elemental force seed.

    Elemental force was a heavy burden on a body cultivator.

    Like Su Xing before, though he could temporarily contend with a legendary-level expert while using elemental force, this state could only last for an hour.

    Ultimately, it was because his elemental force couldn’t sustain it.

    Once the elemental force in his body was exhausted, he would need a day, or even two, to recover!

    But after awakening the elemental force seed, it would be completely different!

    The elemental force that originally required one or two days to recover, the time would be directly reduced by several times!

    Even if the elemental force was exhausted, it would take less than half a day to recover.

    More importantly, the elemental force seed would also constantly replenish the cultivator’s elemental force during combat, greatly enhancing their sustained combat ability.

    “The Grand Elder once said… after the elemental force seed awakens, ordinary cultivators may need decades, or even hundreds of years, to polish it before it can reach perfection…”

    “But I, because of the epiphany, achieved in three days the equivalent of thirty years of elemental force polishing by others!”

    Thinking of this, Su Xing was even more surprised.

    You see, after the elemental force seed awakens, the cultivator, by constantly using and activating it, will make the elemental force seed slowly evolve and grow.

    But Su Xing’s random epiphany talent was simply too crucial!

    How could ordinary cultivators directly stimulate the elemental force seed with their soul and elemental force?

    They would probably lose control of their elemental force and die on the spot!

    But Su Xing, in the state of epiphany, had his comprehension raised infinitely on the spot!

    He was able to do this, directly saving decades of time.

    This made Su Xing’s elemental force seed much stronger than when it was first planted.

    If ordinary cultivators needed six hours to replenish their depleted elemental force, Su Xing would only need four hours, or even less!

    “Random epiphany… if this talent wasn’t so unpredictable to trigger… it would probably be a legendary-level talent, right?”

    Su Xing once again felt the power of the random epiphany talent.

    After calming his emotions, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.

    [After obtaining the elemental force seed, your daily elemental force recovery speed is faster.]

    [This means that you have more time to cultivate the Protective罡气!]

    [Thus, you maintain four hours of cultivation for Protective罡气 every day, and if your elemental force is depleted, you begin to observe the如意观想图.]

    [Thirteenth year, as your divine sense range continues to grow, perhaps due to the insufficient efficacy of the凝神丹 (Concentrating Spirit Pill), it becomes more difficult to improve as you go on.]

    [This year, your divine sense has increased by one hundred zhang, reaching eight thousand nine hundred zhang!]

    [Fourteenth year, after the great completion of the third stage of elemental force, you still did not give up cultivating your elemental force.]

    [Although you have planted the elemental force seed, and accelerated its growth in the state of epiphany, you can feel that you still have a long way to go before reaching the perfection of the third stage.]

    [So, you cultivate even harder, dedicating almost all your energy to cultivating elemental force.]

    [Fifteenth year, your divine sense range has reached nine thousand one hundred zhang.]

    [Besides the significant expansion of your divine sense range, the feeling of meticulous observation you had before has become even clearer.]

    [Tens of thousands of meters away, you can clearly see the way a fly vibrates its wings, and even the fine lines on its wings.]

    [But what troubles you is that you still can’t control the timing of this meticulous state, you can only use it occasionally.]

    Su Xing pondered this.

    “Tens of thousands of meters away, seeing the lines on a fly’s wings… this seems to be a more delicate use of divine sense.”

    “If I could stably activate this state… it seems like I would be able to capture the first ray of rootless water that falls on the day of Awakening Insects.”

    Thinking of this, Su Xing’s eyes brightened.

    The problem that had been bothering him for a long time was finally solved.

    “Indeed, to obtain the Spring Dew Pure Water, you still need a stronger divine sense!”

    “Before, I couldn’t capture the first ray of rootless water, it was just that my application of divine sense wasn’t delicate enough!”

    Thinking of this, Su Xing was delighted.

    He had taken a huge step forward in both the Void Breaking Realm and the Returning Void Realm.

    His gaze fell upon the simulation panel.

    [Sixteenth year, due to the increased time spent cultivating Protective罡气 every day, you can feel that the progress of your Protective罡气 is faster than before.]

    [Though it hasn’t reached the Great Completion level yet, you can already feel that your Protective罡气 is stronger and more resilient than before.]

    [This change makes you happy, so you train even harder, hoping to reach the Great Completion level of Protective罡气 as soon as possible.]

    [In the daily grind of cultivation, two years pass slowly.]

    [Eighteenth year, your divine sense range has further increased, reaching nine thousand five hundred zhang!]

    [The more you cultivate, the more you feel the profound depth of the如意观想图 in your mind.]

    [Within your divine sense range, your observation of microscopic matter becomes increasingly meticulous and precise.]

    [You are ready to try collecting the Spring Dew Pure Water on the day of Awakening Insects.]

    [Nineteenth year, the day of Awakening Insects.]

    [You arrive early at an uninhabited mountain range, where the air is purer and the ecology is more pristine.]

    [When the first clap of spring thunder rings out on the day of Awakening Insects, your divine sense instantly covers the entire mountain range.]

    [One drop, two drops, three drops…]

    [You can sense the rain falling all over the world.]

    [The first rain consists of ten drops, but you only sense seven.]

    [You understand that this is because your divine sense is not delicate enough, unable to fully capture the traces of the first ten drops of rain among the hundreds of thousands of drops falling simultaneously.]

    [You also discovered another difficulty at the same time.]

    [Those ten drops of rootless water could be thousands of meters apart, you must capture them before they touch other raindrops.]

    [And the time you have for this is less than half a second.]

    [Half a second, capturing ten drops of pure water, for your speed and martial arts, this requirement is still far beyond your capabilities.]

    Su Xing frowned slightly at this.

    Within half a second, collecting the first ten drops of rootless water, this speed was indeed something he couldn’t achieve now.

    Perhaps, when he reached the Void Breaking Realm and mastered a遁术 (Evasion Technique) divine ability, he would have a chance to collect it.

    “Damn it, no wonder this Spring Dew Pure Water is so rare… probably only high-level cultivators can personally obtain it, right?”

    “It seems like I’ll have to enter the Void Breaking Realm first, and then consider refining the Void Refining Elixir…”

    Su Xing sighed, his gaze falling upon the simulation panel.

    [After failing to collect the Spring Dew Pure Water, you return to the Spirit Field Paradise and continue cultivating your elemental force.]

    [Twentieth year, with your hard work and diligence, your understanding of the elemental force divine ability Protective罡气 has finally taken another step forward.]

    [Your Protective罡气 divine ability successfully enters the Great Completion level!]

    [The Great Completion level Protective罡气 is nearly twice as strong as before!]

    [Higher defensive strength, combined with your own elemental force armor, makes you almost impervious to attacks from legendary-level experts!]

    [With the breakthrough in your divine ability, your confidence in your own strength reaches an unprecedented level.]

    [You even believe that you can go back to the ruins of the ancient tomb in the Immortal Martial Era copy and try your hand against that living dead puppet.]

    [After careful consideration, you temporarily abandon this plan.]

    [Because there are still a few years left before the twenty-five-year deadline, you plan to continue enhancing your strength during this period.]

    [Twenty-first year, you remain immersed in cultivation all day long.]

    [Every day, you exhaust your elemental force to its limit, and feel the pleasure of the elemental force seed slowly flowing out its elemental force.]

    [You also keenly discover that as you constantly use elemental force, your elemental force seed is constantly growing.]

    [However, this growth is too slow, far slower than when you were in the epiphany state.]

    [And during the elemental force recovery period, you observe the如意观想图, further enhancing your divine sense.]

    [This year, your divine sense range has increased to nine thousand seven hundred zhang!]

    [Twenty-third year, this year your divine sense range has further increased to nine thousand eight hundred zhang, not far from the ten thousand zhang divine sense you had envisioned.]

    [At the same time, you feel that your divine sense has reached a bottleneck, perhaps after reaching ten thousand zhang of divine sense, your divine sense will enter a new realm.]

    [This year, your cultivation of elemental force and Protective罡气 also made some progress.]

    Su Xing saw this and raised an eyebrow, muttering:

    “So that’s it… the divine sense realm I’m currently at is called the Five Senses Realm!”

    “As the name suggests, the Five Senses Realm is about perceiving the surrounding world through the five senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing…”

    “But a person’s five senses are ultimately limited, unable to perceive things that are too microscopic.”

    “Perhaps the next realm of divine sense is to enhance your perception of microscopic things?”

    Su Xing pondered, perhaps after the Five Senses Realm, there would be the Observation Realm, or something similar?

    His gaze fell upon the simulation panel.

    [Twenty-fifth year, beginning of the year.]

    [This year, the situation at the Demon-Suppressing Pass is becoming increasingly dire, you know that the demon army could break through the Demon-Suppressing Pass at any time and invade the real world.]

    [Therefore, you no longer hesitate and enter the Immortal Martial Era copy.]

    [You spend half a month collecting the cultivation techniques of the three major sects and the three pieces of broken jade.]

    [You then spend a few days finding the giant rock in the mountain range.]

    [With a punch, you shatter the giant rock and enter the ancient tomb ruins once again.]

    [Only a quarter of an hour after entering the ruins, you encounter the troublesome living dead puppet.]

    [The living dead puppet, upon seeing you, immediately attacks.]

    [And you, without hesitation, instantly activate your elemental force armor and use the Protective罡气 divine ability.]

    [You and the living dead puppet fight for dozens of rounds.]

    [In terms of pure strength, you are indeed slightly inferior to it.]

    [But because of the dual protection of elemental force armor and Protective罡气, your defense is no worse than a Void Breaking Realm cultivator, so you haven’t sustained any injuries.]

    [You hold the 墨冰剑 (Ink Ice Sword) in your hand, with elemental force wrapped around it, and fight for hundreds of rounds.]

    [This battle causes the formations on the stone walls of the ancient tomb to constantly tremble.]

    [After fighting the living dead puppet for an hour, you sadly discover…]

    [Although most of the living dead puppet’s attacks are blocked by the Protective罡气, your strength and offensive methods are still not enough to destroy this living dead puppet.]

    [To put it simply, your defense is up to par, but your offense is lacking.]

    [Every time you manage to inflict a few wounds on the living dead puppet, a black, inky liquid repairs its injuries.]

    [After another hundred rounds of combat, you begin to shift your strategy.]

    [Since you can’t destroy this puppet, and the puppet can’t defeat you, why not just force your way through it?]

    [So, you activate your Protective罡气 with all your might, ready to ignore this living dead puppet and charge straight through the narrow tunnel of the ancient tomb.]

    [First, you exchange a few rounds with the living dead puppet, then you find an opportunity to force it back with one move.]

    [Your entire body turns into a stream of light, resolutely rushing into the depths of the ancient tomb.]

    [However, the living dead puppet’s speed is three parts faster than yours, you can only fight and run, constantly exploring into the depths of the ancient tomb.]

    [The tunnel of this tomb is extremely long, and after advancing for another ten miles or so…]

    [Your expression changes, because the spiritual energy in the ancient tomb ruins is becoming more and more concentrated, almost reaching the level of a Spirit Field Paradise’s spiritual energy content.]

    [You are startled, the Immortal Martial Era copy is not supposed to be depleted of spiritual energy, how could such a Spirit Field Paradise be born here?]

    [At this point, you can’t be bothered with the living dead puppet chasing after you, and charge straight into the interior of the ancient tomb ruins…]
