Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

As for the whereabouts of Damned Dragon, Su Xing speculated that it could only be one of two places.

The first was the treasure vault of the Descending Sect.

After all, Damned Dragon was the guardian of the Descending Sect's vault.

However, at this point, Blue Star's Descending Sect had nearly been annihilated by Su Xing alone.

Most of the sect members had been swindled by Su Xing into serving military duty at Demon-Subduing Pass.

Even the protectors and leading cadre were almost completely slaughtered by Su Xing.

The Descending Sect existed in name only, and whether its vault still existed was unclear to Su Xing.

"Aside from the Descending Sect's vault... Perhaps another possible hideout for Damned Dragon could be the Blood Demon's Lair!"

Su Xing thought to himself with a plan in mind, his eyes shifting towards the simulation panel.

[New Era 2045, you practiced cultivation while striving to continue hunting spirits of the great void in the Void Domain.]

[This year, your Divine Sense reached 98,000 zhang.]

[New Era 2046, your Divine Sense expanded to 100,000 zhang!]

[New Era 2047, as always, you devoured Rebirth Pills for cultivation.]

[One day, you felt your qi and blood reach a peak with a sensation of imminent breakthrough throughout your body.]

[You seized the opportunity to go into seclusion, starting your breakthrough to the Great Perfection of the Broken Void Realm!]

[Thus, three months later, you finally succeeded and became a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Broken Void Realm!]

[New Era 2048, the 25th year of simulation, Demon-Subduing Pass remained as stable as an old dog.]

[Knowing the Demon Saint would invade Demon-Subduing Pass in three years, you prepared to take advantage of this time for one last exploration.]

[You first visited the Immortal Martial Era Instance which was of a lower difficulty, and you successfully entered the ruins of the Five Elements Sect.]

[Within the ruins of the Five Elements Sect, you encountered a Five Elements True Master turned into a zombie-like cultivator.]

[Wielding the Earth Sword, bolstered by the power of speed, it only took you a dozen rounds to slay the Five Elements True Master and take the Storage Ring from the bronze coffin.]

[Afterwards, you buried the Five Elements True Master in a feng shui treasure land.]

Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this:

"At the Great Perfection of the Broken Void Realm plus the mastery of the Earth Sword, I should be able to explore the ruins of the Five Elements Sect with little risk..."

"It seems that after this simulation, I can make a trip to the ruins of the Five Elements Sect and extract the Five Elements Generation Technique and the Dao of Arrays..."

Su Xing's mouth curved slightly upward; the two Jade Slips would be of great use to him.

Moreover, he was determined to obtain the treasures and some array materials inside that Storage Ring.

"Next up, it's time to face Damned Dragon..."

"However, to be on the safe side, it wouldn't be too late to enhance my Divine Sense further before going!"

Su Xing's gaze returned to the simulation panel.

[New Era 2049, your spirit roamed the great void, continuing to strive to enhance your Divine Sense.]

[Thus, two more years passed...]

[Your Divine Sense expanded to 110,000 zhang!]

[New Era 2051, the 28th year of simulation, this year, you knew that the Demon Saint would descend upon Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[So you decisively prepared to depart for the Blood Demon's Lair.]

[The location of the Blood Demon's Lair Instance lies in the southwest border of the Great Xia Country.]

[You flew on your sword and quickly found the instance.]

[Afterward, you entered inside the instance.]

[As soon as you entered the instance, you sensed several Divine Senses enveloping and pinpointing your location.]

[But you were not panicked; the strength of these cultivators' Divine Senses were merely a few hundred or a thousand zhang... nothing but a few Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators!]

[You calmly remained where you were, not the slightest bit troubled, instead leisurely beginning to taste tea.]

[After sensing your presence, these Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators did not hurry to disclose themselves; instead, they sent some Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators to probe you.]

[You looked down upon them, simply waving your sword to release Sword Qi, slaying all the Golden Core cultivators.]

[Your Divine Sense covered the corpses of these Golden Core cultivators, quickly noticing something amiss.]

[After these Golden Core period cultivators died, their bodies rapidly rotted, and black gas entwined around their corpses.]

[This black gas was very similar to Spiritual Energy, but it was not Spiritual Energy... rather, it was full of immense resentment and pollution.]

In the real world, Su Xing raised his eyebrow upon seeing the simulation text.

"Something's not right, this is too off..."

Su Xing muttered.

Ordinarily, the bodies of Golden Core cultivators should remain intact for years or even decades after death.

So why did the bodies of the Golden Core cultivators that Su Xing killed rot immediately, and moreover, why was there black gas twining around them?

"Could it be... that the reason these cultivators are so powerful is due to the presence of this black gas?"

Such a thought dawned in Su Xing's mind, and he became more curious to further explore.

His gaze returned to the simulation panel.

[You rummaged through the storage pouches of the slain cultivators, and from these bags you discovered some crude magic artifacts and a part of a cultivation technique.]

[This technique was named Blood Immortal Scripture!]

[You carefully perused this technique and discovered its creator proclaimed himself a Blood Immortal.]

[The method of cultivation in the Blood Immortal Scripture differed greatly from that of ordinary cultivators!]

[Practitioners of the Blood Immortal Scripture did not need Spiritual Roots or Spiritual Energy, nor did they cultivate immortality... relying solely on the power of blood sacrifice, they could achieve immortality...]

[You scoffed at the content within the Blood Immortal Scripture, realizing after just a few glances that it was a sinister technique.]

[But, you were also somewhat shocked, because this Blood Immortal Scripture could indeed turn an ordinary person into a cultivator.]

[Although the power released by these Golden Core cultivators was similar to Spiritual Power, it was not Spiritual Power, yet it was more venomous and aggressive than Spiritual Power...]

[The only regret you had was that the first half of the Blood Immortal Scripture could only be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul stage.]

[In order to understand this so-called Blood Immortal Scripture and the secrets of this realm... you decided to explore even deeper!]
