While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move 75
by adminIn the real world, a heart in the waking state was hanging in the balance.
He had spoken those words in the simulator, essentially revealing his identity. If the Shadow Guardian wasn’t a spy or a traitor, then he would undoubtedly die. This would mean that he wasted a precious simulation opportunity. But if the Shadow Guardian was indeed a traitor, then Su Xing would save a lot of effort in subsequent simulations. Everything hung on this single thought.
Su Xing swallowed, and continued the simulation.
[The Shadow Guardian’s face shifted upon hearing your words. She claimed not to know what you were talking about, stating that she had joined the Descent Sect decades ago and had been pursuing the path of the Lord ever since.]
[Hearing the Shadow Guardian’s response, your heart actually felt a sense of relief. If the Shadow Guardian was truly loyal to the Descent Sect, she should have killed you at this moment.]
[You decided to close your eyes and let the Shadow Guardian kill you. Upon hearing this, the Shadow Guardian fell silent.]
[After a long silence, the Shadow Guardian let out a bitter laugh, saying, “Pathetic. Compared to those truly gigantic beings, our world is destined to be destroyed! In their eyes, our world is nothing more than a speck of dust…” ]
[At this moment, the Shadow Guardian finally revealed her true feelings to you. You seized the opportunity and stated that as long as there was a sliver of hope, one should strive with all their might. Just like the Shadow Guardian had asked you to refine pills, even knowing you were powerless to resist, you still had to fight!]
[The Shadow Guardian seemed to be swayed by your words. She asked you about your plan to resist the invasion of the alien race. You took out a pill and stated that you were an alchemist. If you could create enough powerful individuals through pills, then eventually you would be able to drive away the alien race.]
[The Shadow Guardian, however, responded with bitterness, saying that it was like trying to put out a fire with a drop of water. Even if the overall strength of humanity were to be raised by a level, they would still be insignificant in the face of the alien beasts.]
[The Shadow Guardian asked how many pills you could provide, relying on your own strength alone.]
[Hope filled your heart, and after a moment of thought, you stated that you could provide a thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills each month. You asked her if that number was enough.]
[The Shadow Guardian was clearly stunned when she heard your words. One thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills a month would be enough to create two hundred individuals comparable to Grandmaster-level cultivators. That would be almost three thousand individuals a year. If such a number of powerful individuals could be born every year, perhaps it would truly be able to greatly delay the invasion of the alien race! ]
Su Xing laughed lightly at this.
With Su Xing’s speed in refining pills, if he dedicated himself to it, he could even refine over two thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills a month. But Su Xing still needed to cultivate. He needed to reach the Nascent Soul Stage in this simulation, so he could only allocate four hours a day for refining pills without affecting his cultivation speed.
“It seems like I will need to form an alliance with the Shadow Guardian in this simulation. I wonder just how long I can delay the end of the world.”
Su Xing raised an eyebrow and continued with the simulation.
[Ultimately, the Shadow Guardian agreed to form an alliance with you. She stated that she would do her best to protect you and conceal your identity, while you would need to provide her with over five hundred Nourishing Yuan Pills each month!]
[You took this opportunity to request Yellow Immortal Essence. It was the main ingredient in your Refining Furnace Pill, and the Shadow Guardian agreed to your request.]
[In the fourth year, you maintained a daily refining schedule of four hours and spent more time ensuring your cultivation. You felt that you were getting closer and closer to the Nascent Soul Stage.]
[You refined over ten thousand pills in a year. You gave the Shadow Guardian nearly half of them, and used the rest to maintain your own cultivation. You had also saved up several thousand Refining Furnace Pills, waiting for the right time to use them.]
[In the fifth year, you continued to take Nourishing Yuan Pills and Nourishing Soul Pills to strengthen your cultivation. You sensed that your Golden Elixir within was undergoing subtle changes.
[This forced you to spend more time stabilizing your cultivation. Breaking through from the Golden Elixir Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage was more difficult than you had anticipated.]
[This year, your accumulated stock of Refining Furnace Pills reached ten thousand. This number was still far from enough.]
[In the sixth year, you continued to refine pills in an orderly manner. In your spare time, you returned to the Spirit Field Paradise to tend to your spirit plants.
[You discovered that many of the spirit herbs you had planted had reached maturity, and their quality was even higher than those in the Descent Sect’s treasure vault.]
[You had a mind to try refining new pills, but you knew that the goal of this simulation was to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, so you abandoned that idea.]
[In the seventh year, you continued your hard work in cultivation. You could feel that you were only a thin layer of paper away from the Nascent Soul Stage. You knew that you had hit a bottleneck in your cultivation.
[You knew that you couldn’t force a breakthrough. Sometimes, blindly seeking a breakthrough would only backfire. It was better to let things happen naturally. Perhaps you would be able to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly.
According to his True Spirit Root aptitude, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage should not encounter any major bottlenecks. It was common for cultivators to be stuck in a major realm for decades or even centuries. That was because their aptitude was insufficient. However, Su Xing’s issue was his insufficient mental state. He was only a single opportunity away from reaching the Nascent Soul Stage. Perhaps he could break through without any pain.
Thinking this, Su Xing continued to look at the simulation panel.
[You stopped your intensive cultivation. You would only cultivate for half an hour each morning to maintain your inspiration. You now had more time to refine pills.]
[This year, you spent ten hours a day refining pills. You had already stocked up on enough spirit herbs, so you didn’t lack any materials.]
[Within a year, you had refined over thirty thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills. You knew that these Nourishing Yuan Pills would be put to good use.]
[You clearly remembered that in a previous simulation, the Shadow Guardian had stopped needing pills in the eighth year. Perhaps some kind of sudden change had occurred in her world during that year, which caused her to no longer require pills.]
[So, you found the Shadow Guardian and intended to give her the Nourishing Yuan Pills a year in advance.]
[The Shadow Guardian was shocked when she received the over thirty thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills from you, but she still accepted them. You told her that she needed to distribute these pills as soon as possible.]
[The Shadow Guardian nodded in agreement. You did not see her for the next few days.]
[After resting for a few days, you resumed your refining routine. Aside from maintaining necessary cultivation, you accumulated tens of thousands more pills within a year.]
[In the ninth year, it was just another ordinary day for you. You continued refining pills and cultivating every day.
[But that day, the Shadow Guardian found you. She looked much more haggard than before. You hadn’t seen her in months, so you quickly asked her how she was doing.]
[The Shadow Guardian was silent for a long time before finally spitting out a few words: “Give up, give up this futile resistance.”]
[Your heart skipped a beat. You knew that the Shadow Guardian’s world had likely perished after all. You quickly asked how she was defeated and how the world was destroyed.]
[The Shadow Guardian seemed unwilling to speak more. She simply said the words “Giant Beast Descended,” “World’s End…” ]
[You fell silent. The Shadow Guardian had actually bought her world an extra year. According to the original timeline, her world would have been destroyed in the eighth year. Now, it had been extended for a year.]
[But what truly shook you was the fact that the Giant Beast Descended, the same reason as the destruction of your world. You dared not think about the reasons behind this.]
[You looked at the sorrowful Shadow Guardian, seeming to be infected by her emotions. You couldn’t find the words to comfort her.]
[Crack. Under the intense emotional fluctuations, your stagnant cultivation finally broke through. You successfully became a Nascent Soul cultivator!]
