Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Su Xing felt a bit shaken upon seeing this.

Directly assaulting and killing that damned Zong, that was a cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Realm, could Luo Shuying really pull it off?

But if they indeed managed to kill Zong, it would definitely bring immense benefits. Su Xing could then inherit Zong's legacy, let alone the treasures on him. As long as there were any cultivation-related inheritances, Su Xing would earn a fortune.

After all, the Changchun Technique that Su Xing practiced was obtained from that damned Zong.

"If we really manage to slaughter this old dog, we'll hit the jackpot!"

Su Xing felt a bit expectant about the upcoming simulation.

[The day before defecting from the Descending Sect, you and Luo Shuying planned it out, with you pretending to go out and using yourself as bait to lure that damned Zong out so Luo Shuying could ambush and kill him.]

[You weren't worried about your safety, as Zong desired your cultivation secrets and wouldn't kill you easily. Even if there was a life-threatening crisis, you could hide in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, where he couldn't do anything to you.]

[Your concern was whether Luo Shuying's strength was enough to kill Zong; after all, he was a genuine Divinity Transformation Realm expert, even martial emperor-level experts weren't his match.]

[On this, Luo Shuying showed great confidence, claiming that among the protectors of the Descending Sect, she ranked second, only inferior to the mysterious Dragon Protector; all other protectors were no match for her.]

[After gaining Luo Shuying's assurance, you breathed a sigh of relief and began executing the assassination plan.]

[That night, you pretended to go out alone, exposing your whereabouts to that damned Zong.]

[Zong had long coveted the secrets on you. If not for you always being within the Sect and under Luo Shuying's protection all these years, you would have been long dead.]

[Sure enough, as soon as you ventured into the wilderness, Zong finally couldn't resist and made his move.]

[Zong was quite skilled in concealing his aura. His figure shifted, appearing beside you with a sinister laugh, clawing at you.]

[At this moment, Luo Shuying struck, emerging from the shadows with black energy swirling around her, severely injuring Zong in just one move.]

[Zong, heavily injured, looked at Luo Shuying in horror, realizing he had been tricked. Without hesitation, he used a secret technique to flee into the distance.]

[Luo Shuying pursued him relentlessly. When Zong was about to be caught, he spat out blood and escaped using blood escape.]

[Luo Shuying, expert in pursuit, closed in on Zong multiple times, but each time he consumed a Spirit Fruit from his storage magical artifact, boosting his aura and fleeing again.]

[Luo Shuying continued the chase, Zong summoning three Nascent Soul Stage puppets to obstruct her, but she easily destroyed them and continued the pursuit.]

[Zong then set up a formation to trap Luo Shuying. She broke through it with her black energy and resumed the chase.]

[In a series of pursuits, Zong depleted over a dozen trump cards, but Luo Shuying, with her formidable strength, always closed in.]

[Ultimately, Zong gritted his teeth and used the divine skill instant movement, at great cost, finally escaping from the Shadow Protector's grasp.]

[The chase between Luo Shuying and Zong lasted several days. Knowing you couldn't match their speed, you waited for Luo Shuying at the prearranged location.]

[A few days later, Luo Shuying returned alone, looking displeased. She admitted she underestimated Zong. Though Zong wasn't the top among Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators, after living for over a thousand years, his survival means were unfathomable.]

[Luo Shuying reassured you that although Zong wasn't killed immediately, he was severely injured, and the multiple secret techniques used during his escape greatly reduced his lifespan. There was no need to worry.]

[You nodded but still felt a bit regretful.]

[With the failure to kill Zong, you and Luo Shuying decided not to dwell on it, fearing retribution from the Descending Sect, and headed to Kyoto to join the Great Xia Military.]

Su Xing took a deep breath, a bit astonished.

"This damned Zong, true to a thousand-year-old Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, was cautious enough to survive even after the extinction of spiritual energy, with so many trump cards."

Su Xing felt both shock and increasing excitement and anticipation.

"This damned Zong truly had numerous treasures! Not just Heaven and Earth Treasures, Nascent Soul Stage puppets, but many secret techniques and formations, even the divine skill instant movement!"

Su Xing's excitement grew. If he could kill Zong later, wouldn't all those treasures be his?

"Hmm, I should carefully plan on how to obtain treasures from that damned Zong!"

Su Xing whispered to himself.

Meanwhile, Zong felt a sudden chill somewhere unknown.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[After joining the Great Xia Military, Lu Yuanwu personally greeted you. You donated the elixirs accumulated over the years to the Great Xia Military, soon increasing the number of grandmasters in the Great Xia Country by tens of thousands.]

[You refined the remaining herbs into Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills, within a year, adding forty thousand grandmaster level profession users to the Great Xia Country.]

[Still, you weren't satisfied, selecting veteran grandmaster level profession users and giving them Dragon Spirit Pills and Origin Martial Pills, within a year, increasing the number of Heavenly King level experts in the Great Xia Country by six hundred!]

[In the same year, due to your significant contributions, you received first-class treatment, becoming a voice of the Great Xia Country, but you still crafted elixirs and enhanced your cultivation daily, knowing this was the most crucial foundation.]

[After joining the Great Xia Country, Luo Shuying continued on the path of exterminating the Descending Sect, leading a group of strongmen to destroy many of the sect's strongholds within the Great Xia Country.]

[In the eighth year, Luo Shuying sought your help, stating that her hometown was under massive invasion by foreign beasts and couldn't hold on much longer.]

[You were very concerned, contacting the high command of the Great Xia Military to request help for Luo Shuying's hometown against the foreign invaders.]

[Thanks to your help and the relatively good situation of the human race at Demon-Subduing Pass, the high command of Great Xia collectively agreed to send hundreds of Heavenly King level profession users and several martial emperor level experts into the realm where Luo Shuying's hometown was located to assist in fending off the foreign beast invasion.]

[Luo Shuying was very grateful to you, bringing your relationship closer. Your silver spear didn't waver, and Luo Shuying was helpless against you, eventually admitting defeat.]

[In the ninth year, you continued to eat large amounts of Spirit Rice and Spirit Chicken meat daily. Your physique became increasingly perfect, feeling that you were getting closer to the Origin Martial Realm but decided to proceed cautiously and didn't consume the Origin Martial Pill.]

[One day, after inspecting the military situation at Demon-Subduing Pass, you saw piles of demonic beast corpses outside the city and had a sudden thought: if consuming Spirit Rice and Spirit Chicken meat could strengthen the body, could consuming demonic beast meat enhance physical strength?]

[You consulted the soldiers in the army, who told you that most foreign beast meat was harmful and foul, inedible by humans.]

[However, some Heavenly King level foreign beasts contained a small amount of flesh essence that could enhance the strength of profession users.]

[Intrigued, you exercised your authority to obtain a fifty-pound piece of demonic beast flesh essence.]

[Though the flesh essence was only palm-sized, it contained rich life energy, greatly beneficial for your cultivation.]

[After confirming that grandmaster level profession users could enhance their strength by consuming demonic beast flesh essence, you took a few bites, consuming about half a pound.]

[Just from a few bites, you felt your body filled with energy, your stomach continuously churning, and your Great Appetite talent activated, relentlessly nourishing your body with energy.]

[With the demonic beast flesh essence's power working within, you immediately began refining your physique and cultivating.]

[The flesh essence's effect surpassed that of Spirit Rice by several folds, just a night of cultivation equaled days of previous training.]

[Overjoyed, you decided to consume half a pound of flesh essence daily, supplementing it to enhance physical strength.]

[However, too much beast meat couldn't be consumed at once. You still ate ten pounds of Spirit Rice daily, paired with demonic beast meat, rapidly improving your body refinement cultivation level.]

[In just three months, your physical strength increased by nearly one-third compared to before, making you hopeful about breaking through to the Origin Martial Realm in this simulation.]

[With the flesh essence used up, you headed to Demon-Subduing Pass to acquire more.]

[You learned that demonic beast flesh essence was incredibly valuable. A Heavenly King level beast, towering dozens of meters high, weighing hundreds of tons, only had fifty pounds of flesh essence. Furthermore, it had to be extracted within an hour of the beast's death, or it would become dead meat, harmful and useless.]

[Additionally, beast armies would strategically recover corpses of Heavenly King level and above beasts, and lower-ranked beasts eagerly devoured the flesh essence of their fallen kin on battlefields.]

[These factors combined to make demonic beast flesh essence extremely rare.]

[Despite this rarity, you obtained hundreds of pounds of beast meat from the army, with the general in charge of Demon-Subduing Pass promising to provide over fifty pounds of flesh essence monthly.]

[With the flesh essence for nourishment and daily consumption of Spirit Rice, your body refinement cultivation became increasingly refined, your physical strength growing ever stronger.]

"Heavenly King level beasts produce flesh essence that, when consumed, can strengthen the body and rapidly enhance body refinement cultivation?"

Su Xing's eyes lit up. This was undoubtedly good news. Though spiritual energy was scarce in the real world, demonic beasts were plentiful—Demon-Subduing Pass was teeming with them!

The only issue was the low yield of flesh essence, a Heavenly King level beast weighing hundreds of tons producing just fifty pounds of flesh essence...

Moreover, it was hard to obtain. The massive beast's body couldn't fit into storage rings, making essence extraction time-consuming and challenging on the battlefield.

Only martial emperor level experts could secure it?

Hence the extreme value of flesh essence.

"But perhaps I could bring a piece of Heavenly King level beast flesh essence out from the simulator... That way, each simulation, I could consume more flesh essence?"

Su Xing's eyes brightened. It was similar to how he had previously gained Spirit Stones, appearing to exploit a simulator bug. If successful, it would save Su Xing considerable effort.

With this thought, Su Xing continued the simulation.

[In the tenth year, you continued to consume flesh essence and Spirit Rice daily, diligently refining your body and cultivating.]

[As your body's strength gradually increased, you felt it nearing a bottleneck, with improvement slowing—not because of diminishing effects of flesh essence, but reaching a physical limit.]

[With no other choice, you realized you couldn't rush the process and decided on gradual enhancement.]

[So, besides your usual body refinement, you began experimenting with crafting Soul Condensing Pills.]

[In the eleventh year, you maintained a disciplined routine, refining your body for four hours, studying Soul Condensing Pill crafting for another four, with the remaining four hours for eating, resting, and farming.]

[Sleep was unnecessary! As a Nascent Soul ancestor, being a "hardcore cultivator" was easy.]

[Your body refinement steadily improved, with increasing proficiency in crafting Soul Condensing Pills.]

[In the twelfth year, you received a battle report: an important supply line at Demon-Subduing Pass was destroyed, leaving tens of thousands of soldiers starving and fighting.]
