Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[In the seventeenth year, you continued to hone your swordsmanship, increasing your understanding of the Earth Sword.]

[Finally, one day, after accumulating knowledge for so long, you felt that you were able to manipulate the forces of heaven and earth even more deftly.]

[Your comprehension of the Earth Sword successfully advanced to the Minor Achievement level!]

[After reaching Minor Achievement in the Earth Sword, you could acutely feel the enhancement of the force of heaven and earth.]

[With the power of the earth, you could make your sword strokes more stable and forceful, with each move increasing in strength by several times.]

[By leveraging the flow of water, your sword strokes could move a thousand pounds with four ounces of force, achieving the objective of overcoming the hard with the soft, easily blocking your enemy's offensive.]

[Mountains, rivers, grass, wood... Running water, thunder... Every natural element could inspire you.]

[With these insights into the forces of heaven and earth, your sword strokes became more profound, and your Sword Intent infinitely mysterious...]

[After the Earth Sword reached Minor Achievement, you continued to thrive on the Slaughter Battlefield, still hunting Legendary Demon Beasts every day.]

[Three years passed quickly.]

[By the twentieth year, you had once again killed hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts over the past three years, and you refined their Flesh Essence into Rebirth Pills.]

[After consuming these pills, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved further, not far from the seventh layer of the Broken Void Realm...]

[As you continued to hunt and kill Legendary Demon Beasts, the top forces of the Demon Race on the Slaughter Battlefield greatly diminished, and the pressure on the Beast Taming Realm to counter the Demon Race was greatly reduced.]

[However, as you continued to kill Legendary Demon Beasts and their numbers dwindled, you sometimes had to spend a month or even more time to successfully find one to kill, greatly reducing the efficiency of your hunts.]

[But you felt very pleased about this, as it meant that the number of Legendary Demon Beasts from the Demon Race on the battlefield truly decreased significantly.]

[The absence of new Legendary Demon Beasts joining the fray indicates that perhaps the Foreign Race doesn't have an endless supply of them to participate in the battle.]

Su Xing, seeing this, smiled and muttered to himself:

"Indeed, the effects of the Innate Sword Body are truly extraordinary... In just over a decade of practice, my comprehension of the Earth Sword has reached Minor Achievement."

"At this rate, even if the simulation doesn't reach the Mahayana Level, I'm likely not far off..."

After a pause, Su Xing continued to think:

"Moreover, the reduction in the number of Legendary Demon Beasts... This also indirectly indicates that the number of beasts in the hands of the Foreign Race is not endless!"

"At least... in the area of high-level beasts, their numbers are limited... Once too many die within a short period, the Demon Race can't immediately replenish with new blood."

But at the same time, Su Xing felt a vague sense of vigilance in his heart.

"If I completely kill off these Legendary Demon Beasts, will the strength of the Demon Race's army at the Demon-Subduing Pass decrease by the twenty-fifth year?"

"Or... will there appear even more powerful enemies then?"

Thinking this, Su Xing excitedly licked his lips.

Whichever possibility it was, it was worth a try for Su Xing.

With these thoughts, Su Xing's gaze turned to the simulation panel.

[In the twenty-first year, you focused on your cultivation, and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the seventh layer of the Broken Void Realm!]

[Congratulations on becoming a late-stage cultivator in the Broken Void Realm!]

[After the improvement in Cultivation Level, your power was even stronger than before, but you didn't get the chance to confront the Demon Emperor alone, which made you feel somewhat disappointed.]

[In the following two years, you still practiced swordsmanship every day.]

[The Innate Sword Body, truly of golden quality, brought your understanding of the Earth Sword gradually closer to the Mahayana Level through daily practice.]

[At the same time, during these two years, you killed dozens of Legendary Demon Beasts, and thus, on the Slaughter Battlefield, the Beast Taming Realm held an absolute advantage.]

[As the skirmishing went on, two years slowly passed...]

[In the twenty-third year, one day, a Double-pupil Demon of the Demon Race descended upon the Slaughter Battlefield.]

[Its terrifying power easily overwhelmed a host of Great Emperor powerhouses.]

[You saw with your own eyes how the once arrogant silver-haired Demon Emperor behaved like a respectful servant in front of it.]

[This was the same powerhouse from the Demon Race that had appeared in previous simulations, and you seriously suspected that it was a Demon Saint Level powerhouse!]

[The Double-pupil Demon Saint, with a mere wave of its hand, killed two Emperor Level Beast Tamers, and dozens of Legendary Beast Tamers were annihilated with a flick of its fingers.]

[From a distance, you saw the silver-haired Demon Emperor whisper a few words into the ear of the Double-pupil Demon Saint.]

[Then the Double-pupil Demon Saint lifted its head, its gaze reaching far to you, with a trace of mockery on its face.]

[In that moment of eye contact, a great sense of vigilance surged in your heart.]

[Both your instincts to seek good fortune and avoid disaster and the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique were frantically issuing warnings, causing the hair on your back to stand on end.]

[Without hesitation, you entered the Spirit Field Cave.]

[Returning to the safety of the Spirit Field Cave, you sat down on the ground, gasping for air.]

[The Demon Saint did not pursue, and you were temporarily safe.]

[But you still felt uneasy, not knowing whether the Demon Saint could detect this personal space of yours.]

[So you nervously stayed in the Spirit Field Cave for several days, but the Double-pupil Demon Saint didn't come after you.]

[This eased your mind, but you didn't let down your guard, continuing to practice swordsmanship in the Spirit Field Cave.]

Back in the real world, Su Xing, seeing this, was somewhat shocked and murmured:

"Time... It's come earlier than expected!"

"I distinctly remember that the Beast Taming Realm was destroyed in the twenty-fourth year before... Why has it become the twenty-third year now?"

Alerted, Su Xing entertained a few thoughts.

"Could it be that the passage of time in the real world has just reached the point when the Beast Taming Realm is supposed to be destroyed?"
