    You, without hesitation, arrive before the barrier formation.

    You then punch out, and with the immense destructive power of your elemental force, the barrier formation shatters like a spider web, eventually breaking into pieces.

    You enter the core area of the ancient tomb relic, and a dense aura of spiritual energy washes over you. The spiritual energy here is no weaker than your Spirit Field Paradise.

    You see the white spirit dragon trapped there, with black gas swirling around its dragon body.

    The spirit dragon lets out two mournful cries. You suppress your greed and do not look at the spirit dragon.

    Instead, you turn your attention to the bronze stone coffin. As you expected, the Wan Mu Real Person is still asleep. As long as you don’t actively wake him, there is no danger to your life.

    You take a closer look at the entire core area of the ancient tomb relic.

    The entire ancient tomb relic is filled with abundant spiritual energy. In front of you is a spirit field that spans several acres.

    Various rare spiritual herbs are planted in the spirit field, with the youngest being two thousand years old. These herbs are sufficient to refine medium-grade, or even high-grade, elixirs!

    There are also several puppets tending to the spirit field, who seem to be specifically designed for this purpose and have no offensive capabilities.

    You don’t hesitate and begin to sweep through the surrounding area like a whirlwind.

    All the spiritual herbs, with their roots and surrounding soil, are packed into your Spirit Field Paradise.

    In an instant, the entire spirit field in the core of the ancient tomb relic is left bare.

    The few puppet farmers are bewildered, standing in place, lost in thought.

    Next, you begin to loot the other treasures in the core area.

    You quickly discover that in front of the spirit dragon, there is a spirit gathering formation. Inside the formation, there is a mountain-like pile of spirit stones!

    You are overjoyed and, after a little study, you successfully enter the spirit gathering array.

    You pick up a spirit stone and examine it closely. You are surprised because there seem to be not only low-grade spirit stones here, but also quite a few medium-grade spirit stones, and a small amount of high-grade spirit stones!

    You look at the spirit dragon trapped not far away, lost in thought. These spirit stones are probably catalyzed by the spirit dragon.

    You count them carefully. There are a total of 120,000 low-grade spirit stones, 5,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and 300 high-grade spirit stones!

    Su Xing sees this and can’t help but feel a surge of joy.

    “There are actually 120,000 low-grade spirit stones… and even medium-grade and high-grade spirit stones!”

    “Damn, I haven’t even collected a thousand spirit stones so far. If I get this batch, I’ll be rich!”

    You know that the low-grade spirit stones are the kind he had before, with relatively mixed spiritual energy that is not easy to absorb.

    A single medium-grade spirit stone contains ten times the spiritual energy of a low-grade spirit stone! And it’s easier to absorb.

    The spiritual energy of a high-grade spirit stone is ten times that of a medium-grade stone!

    “By this calculation, there are a total of 200,000 low-grade spirit stones in this ancient tomb relic!”

    Su Xing is overjoyed. If he has this batch of spirit stones,

    whether he uses them for his spirit rice plan, cultivation, or even refining tools in the future, there will be enough to consume!

    He can even make his cultivation speed even faster!

    “Equivalent to 200,000 low-grade spirit stones… which is only 200 million energy… I must get all these spirit stones!”

    Su Xing is slightly excited.

    He turns his gaze to the simulation panel.

    You pack all these spirit stones into your Spirit Field Paradise.

    After looting the spirit stones, you begin to examine this relic.

    Unfortunately, apart from the spirit stones and spiritual herbs, there is only the trapped spirit dragon and the giant bronze stone coffin on the stone platform.

    You look at the spirit dragon in front of you, feeling a little greedy. If you could rescue the spirit dragon and make it yours, you would never lack spiritual energy again.

    But your reason ultimately triumphs over your greed because you know that if you touch the spirit dragon, the Wan Mu Real Person will probably wake up from the bronze stone coffin.

    So, after some hesitation, you leave the core area of the relic and prepare to return the way you came and leave the ancient tomb relic.

    Before leaving, the spirit dragon lets out a mournful cry toward you…

    After leaving the ancient tomb relic, you quickly leave the Xianwu Era copy.

    You are worried that after activating the formation, the Wan Mu Real Person in the ancient tomb relic may wake up at any time.

    To avoid endangering yourself, you return to the real world.

    After returning to the real world, you continue to practice swordsmanship every day.

    You have made some progress in mastering swordsmanship, but it is still a long way off from reaching the Grandmaster Level.

    Two years pass quickly in the monotonous training…

    In the 25th year, the situation at the Demon-Suppressing Pass begins to deteriorate, and human cultivators suffer heavy casualties.

    You know that the legendary demon beast army is about to arrive at the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

    After you break through to the Void-Breaking Realm, you want to test your strength.

    You arrive at the Demon-Suppressing Pass, and not long after, the demon beast legendary army arrives.

    Hundreds of legendary demon beasts, several Emperor-level demon beasts… and countless demon beast armies besiege the pass.

    In this battle, the human race, including ten legendary cultivators and one Emperor-level cultivator, all participate, but in the end, they are unable to hold the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

    The Demon-Suppressing Pass is completely lost, but you perform exceptionally well in this battle.

    You fight a legendary demon beast alone.

    The beast is nearly a thousand zhang tall, with a body as terrifying as a mountain.

    But you are now a Void-Breaking Realm cultivator, and with the power of your elemental force, a single punch is capable of reaching a million tons!

    You engage in battle with the legendary demon beast for hundreds of rounds and are not at a disadvantage.

    Your protective aura shields you firmly, and the elemental force armor on your body greatly increases your defense. Your elemental force seed within your body generates a constant stream of elemental force, replenishing your losses.

    The legendary demon beast, large as a mountain, is impossible to severely wound with ordinary attacks.

    The thick armor on the demon beast’s skin, combined with hundreds of meters of fat and muscle, is a formidable protective barrier.

    Even a Void-Breaking Mid-Stage cultivator would find it extremely difficult to kill a legendary demon beast.

    You face this same difficulty. With your Void-Breaking Realm power, if your enemy wasn’t so massive, you could easily injure, or even critically injure, it.

    But because of the unique size of legendary demon beasts, they are practically immune to most blunt force damage.

    Compared to simply using force against a giant legendary demon beast, you discover that using elemental force in conjunction with the Ink Ice Sword is more effective.

    With the power of elemental force, combined with your terrifying strength, you can easily cut off large chunks of flesh from the legendary demon beast.

    Unfortunately, your swordsmanship is still stuck in the Human-Sword stage, unable to utilize the power of Heaven and Earth to kill this legendary beast.

    After hundreds of rounds of combat, you are slightly injured, but the legendary demon beast you are fighting is severely injured, though not mortally wounded.

    Just as you are about to exhaust the beast, the human Emperor is ultimately killed!

    Under the combined attack of three demon Emperors, the human Emperor is outnumbered and eventually killed.

    You are also killed by a demon Emperor who is now free to fight, and your soul is annihilated…

    You are dead!

    Ding, this simulation is over!

    After the simulation ends, Su Xing takes a deep breath.

    The benefits you gained in this simulation are considerable.

    Whether it’s Elder Dog’s inheritance or the exploration of the ancient tomb relic, the benefits are enough to make your foundation undergo a qualitative change in a short period of time!

    “However, that legendary demon beast was really tough!”

    “Although it only has legendary-level strength, it’s thick-skinned, fleshy, and gigantic… even a legendary late-stage or void-breaking late-stage cultivator might not be able to easily kill it…”

    Su Xing murmurs.

    “If you want to kill this legendary beast, you still need to learn the Three Talismans Sword Technique! If you can master the Earth Sword Chapter, your cultivation technique power will definitely increase significantly, and perhaps you could slay it?”

    Su Xing thinks to himself.

    Then, he eagerly turns his gaze to the rewards for this simulation.

    **[Talismans Expert]:** Purple-Quality Innate Talent, price 1 million energy.

    **[Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]:** Alchemy Insight, price 500,000 energy.

    **[八卦算运术 (Grandmaster):]** Heavenly Grade Superior Secret Technique, created by a wandering Taoist, nearly approaching the Dao, gaining a glimpse into the essence of the fate Dao, close to Dao techniques, able to divine fortune, good and bad luck, and avoid danger. It has reached the入门级 (Entry-Level) of the 人运篇 (Human Destiny Chapter), and is only one step away from 小成 (Small Completion). Price 120 million simulation energy.

    **[Swordsmanship (Small Completion):]**遁速神通 (Speeding Evasion Technique) swordsmanship, determined by the quality of the spiritual sword and the sword cultivator’s strength. It can take the head of an enemy from thousands of miles away or use the sword to travel freely, traversing tens of thousands of miles in an instant. Price 80 million energy.

    **[Low-Grade Spirit Stones 200,000, Medium-Grade Spirit Stones 5,000, High-Grade Spirit Stones 300]:** Price 280 million energy.

    **[Three-Thousand-Year-Old Herbs of Various Types 5,000]:** Price 50 billion energy.

    **[Elder Dog’s Diary (Full):]** Price 10,000 energy.

    **[八卦算运术 (Full):]** Price 500 million energy.

    Su Xing scans the simulation rewards and finds that there are dozens of them in this simulation,

    including most of the valuable items in Elder Dog’s storage artifact.

    These treasures and artifacts are useful, but not worth using his precious exchange times and simulation energy to exchange for.

    The truly valuable ones are the above eight.

    Su Xing begins to analyze each reward option.

    “Talismans Expert… This talent may be useful later, but it’s not urgent…”

    “After I get Elder Dog’s storage artifact, I can study the secondary professions of array formation, tool refining, and talismans…”

    Su Xing shakes his head slightly, first eliminating the choice of talent.

    Next is the Alchemy Experience, which he doesn’t plan to choose at the moment.

    “As for the spirit stones… 280 million energy. Although I can afford it now… I haven’t broken through to the Returning Void Realm yet, so choosing them now would be useless.”

    “As for the spiritual herbs… Damn, 5,000 three-thousand-year-old herbs, costing a whopping 50 billion energy? That’s too expensive!”

    Su Xing says he can’t afford that.

    “As for the八卦算运术… I’ve already learned the more useful 人运篇 (Human Destiny Chapter), so there’s no rush to exchange for this…”

    “But the total value of five billion energy, nearly reaching the level of Dao techniques… this secret technique is truly extraordinary!”

    After a pause, Su Xing’s gaze falls on Elder Dog’s diary.

    Surprisingly, the entire stack of diaries only costs 10,000 energy.

    It’s probably because, according to the simulator’s detection, they are just the diaries of an evil cultivator, so their value is not high.

    “However… in the end, the rewards I want are still the Swordsmanship and the八卦算运术!”

    Su Xing’s lips curl up slightly.

    With Small Completion-level swordsmanship, it wouldn’t be a problem for Su Xing to collect the Spring Dew Pure Water, which means the Void-Breaking Pill can be refined sooner.

    And the八卦算运术 is a prerequisite for him to instantly kill Elder Dog, so it must be chosen!

    “I choose Swordsmanship and八卦算运术!”

    Su Xing silently says.

    **[You have successfully brought out八卦算运术 (Grandmaster), costing 120 million energy. Remaining energy: 128,006,000 points.]**

    **[You have successfully brought out Swordsmanship (Small Completion), costing 80 million energy. Remaining energy: 48,060,000 points.]**

    As the simulator prompt sounds, Su Xing’s original 200 million simulation energy suddenly shrinks to just under 50 million.

    However, it’s all worth it!

    Two mysterious energies enter Su Xing’s body.

    Immediately, a vast amount of memory floods his mind, containing the comprehension of八卦算运术 and the training memories of swordsmanship!

    Originally, his入门级 (Entry-Level)八卦算运术 was already considered half-immortal in the human world, a real master of fortune-telling, Feng Shui, destiny alteration, and divination.

    But now, with the memory of Small Completion entering his mind, his understanding of the fate Dao has already surpassed the realm of ordinary mortals.

    Su Xing’s eyes narrow, diligently digesting the memories in his mind about八卦算运术.

    After a long time, he slowly opens his eyes,

    with an incredible look in them.

    “Unbelievable… The theory of destiny is so profound, encompassing almost every aspect of the world and貫穿 (贯穿) (penetrating) a person’s entire life…”

    Su Xing’s expression is slightly solemn.

    With his current fortune-telling abilities, he can see through the destinies of mortals, and even their future development for a certain period of time, without needing to expend much cultivation.

    Moreover, he can use his own cultivation to forcibly alter the fate of mortals!

    “This ability to change someone’s destiny in a breath… It’s almost like being a仙 (Xian) (Immortal)!”

    Su Xing is amazed in his heart. Since he started cultivating a year ago, his cultivation has rapidly increased. Now, with this fortune-telling technique, he finally has a bit of the appearance of a仙 (Xian) (Immortal) in the eyes of mortals.

    Su Xing’s heart moves, mysterious spiritual energy floats above his eyes, and he then takes out a mirror, looking at the top of his head.

    This is the望气术 (Looking at Qi Technique)!

    “Hmm… Deep green, with a hint of purple! As expected… This doesn’t count as a child of destiny, but with my天赋 (Tài fèn) (Innate Talent) of 吉星高照 (Jí xīng gāo zhào) (Auspicious Star Shining Brightly), my fortune is one in a million!”

    Su Xing is quite satisfied with this.

    Destiny and looking at Qi are intangible concepts.

    But Su Xing can now see the color of a mortal’s fortune above their head.

    Ordinary people are transparent white.

    Those who are slightly lucky are light green.

    If someone wins the lottery jackpot, they are deep green.

    As for Su Xing, deep green with purple means they are protected by great fortune!

    This is the change brought by his天赋 (Tài fèn) (Innate Talent) of 吉星高照 (Jí xīng gāo zhào) (Auspicious Star Shining Brightly)…

    “With my fortune, it’s practically unmatched among mortals… What about those with even higher, purple fortune? Who could possibly possess that?”

    Su Xing thinks to himself.

    “Perhaps Liu Xiu, the great magician who was struck by a meteor shower in the history of the previous life… or Lao Zhu, who started with a single bowl and ruled the world, might barely qualify for purple fortune?”

    Su Xing sighs slightly.

    Over thousands of years of human history, whether in the previous life or the current Blue Star,

    every thousand years or so, there will be one or two children of destiny.

    After experiencing the wonders of the八卦算运术 for a while, Su Xing takes out the Ink Ice Sword.

    The Ink Ice Sword hums in his hand.

    “With Swordsmanship at Small Completion… I’m more familiar with and closer to the spiritual sword!”

    Su Xing’s lips curl up slightly.

    With Swordsmanship at Small Completion, it’s no exaggeration to say that Su Xing can now travel thirty thousand miles a day, and the consumption of spiritual energy is not much.

    That means, if he travels to Guang province, a distance of over ten thousand kilometers, he can reach it in half a day.

    Su Xing stretches out his hand and rubs the Ink Ice Sword, a strange look in his eyes as he praises:

    “Good Ink Ice Sword… It’s been worn on my body for a short time, and under the nourishment of elemental force, its quality has actually improved!”

    “I’m afraid the Ink Ice Sword is now equivalent to a top-grade legendary weapon?”

    Su Xing is happy.

    Strictly speaking, after being nurtured by Su Xing’s elemental force, the Ink Ice Sword has gone beyond the category of artifacts and is now a Yuanqi Weapon!

    Yuanqi Weapons are different from ordinary artifacts; they will grow with Su Xing’s strength.

    After digesting the rewards he brought out this time, Su Xing is lost in thought.

    “Now I only have less than 50 million energy left. Even if I add next week’s goods, I’ll only have a little over 100 million energy…”

    “This amount of energy is simply not enough!”

    Su Xing feels that he must find a way to increase his income, otherwise, the vast amount of energy required for the breakthroughs to the Void-Breaking and Shattering Void Realms will be beyond his ability to afford.

    “This week, I’ll just focus on refining elixirs… If I don’t have enough energy after the next simulation, I’ll go to that place…”

    Su Xing already has a vague plan in mind.

    And so, over the next week, Su Xing continues to spend his time in his busy life of refining elixirs and farming.

    A week later, Su Xing takes five thousand elixirs to see Jin Cong Xue.

    The familiar routine of disguise and concealing his aura is followed, and Su Xing arrives at the villa.

    Jin Cong Xue is wearing a dark long robe today, but her face looks a bit pale.

    Su Xing walks into the room, glances at Jin Cong Xue, and activates the Looking at Qi Technique.

    The color of Jin Cong Xue’s fortune is deep green, as Su Xing had imagined. She comes from a prestigious family, is beautiful and attractive, and has outstanding abilities, so she is a person protected by great fortune.

    But then Su Xing’s eyes narrow. He sees a faint touch of blood red in Jin Cong Xue’s deep green fortune.

    Blood red means there is a disaster of blood in the near future!

    The red on Jin Cong Xue’s head is slightly faint, so it’s clearly not fatal.

    Even so, Su Xing speaks to Jin Cong Xue seriously:

    “Sister Xue, you seem to have a blood disaster recently…”

    Blood disaster?

    Jin Cong Xue is puzzled for a moment, then seems to understand something.

    Her cheeks flush slightly as she rolls her eyes playfully: “Stinky rogue!”
