Chapter 228: Chapter 159: The Fifth Layer of the Thousand Flames Art, It's Time to Trade with the Military (5k)_2
```
[Even with your Origin Force at the external release level, it merely makes your death less unsightly.]
[Your head was shattered by a punch from the Living Dead Puppet...]
[Your Primordial Spirit was devoured by the Living Dead Puppet, you are dead!]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing sighed lightly.
"Alas, it seems I still underestimated the strength of this puppet..."
"Even with Origin Force at the external release level, I still can't defeat this puppet? It seems that I can only try after breaking through to the Broken Void Realm!"
Su Xing was somewhat surprised by the strength of this Broken Void Realm puppet.
This puppet seemed to be purely a Body Cultivation Cultivator, not cultivating Spiritual Power.
But its flesh and strength were alarmingly strong, and it possessed a peculiar healing ability, which was truly difficult to handle.
"With such a powerful puppet serving as the tomb guardian, one can imagine the strength of the tomb's owner..."
Su Xing knew that it wouldn't be possible to get the treasures inside the ruins in a short time.
He would need to advance to the Broken Void Realm to stand a chance.
After pondering for a while, Su Xing's gaze turned to the rewards of this simulation.
[Dao of Arrays Prodigy]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points.
[Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 500,000 energy points.
[Divinity Transformation Stage Eightfold Cultivation Level]: Qi Refining Cultivation, priced at 10 million energy points.
[One and a half million drops of Low-Grade Spiritual Liquid]: Formed from extremely concentrated Spiritual Energy, it can nourish the Dantian, promote Cultivation Level, and is easily absorbed. Priced at 150 million energy points.
[Origin Force Cultivation Insights (Entry Level External Release)]: External release level Origin Force insights, stepping into the third stage of Origin Force cultivation, able to externally release Origin Force to defend against enemies, and also strengthen the Magic Artifacts in hand, priced at 30 million energy points.
[Earth-Level Thousand Flames Art Cultivation Progress (Fifth Layer)]: Insights into the cultivation of Thousand Flames Art, the fifth layer corresponds to the Cultivation Level of a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator, priced at 10 million energy points.
[Two thousand mature Gathering Spirit Flowers, fifteen hundred seeds]: Priced at 215 million energy points.
Seeing the reward options for this simulation, Su Xing hesitated slightly.
"Talent, Cultivation Level, and Alchemy Experience can be ruled out first... The Gathering Spirit Flowers are too expensive and the returns are low, so there's no need to choose them for now."
Su Xing first eliminated several options, then focused on the remaining three.
Spiritual Liquid, Origin Force Cultivation Insights, and the cultivation progress of the Earth-Level Thousand Flames Art.
"Spiritual Liquid is a must-have, without it, I might not be able to break through to the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation Stage by the end of the next simulation..."
Su Xing murmured softly.
The cultivation in the later stages of Divinity Transformation was so difficult that in twenty-five years, he had only progressed a little more than one realm.
If he had enough Spiritual Liquid for assistance, it should be sufficient!
This time, taking out one and a half million drops of Spiritual Liquid, and being able to collect another million or so drops in the next simulation.
All added up, it should be enough for Su Xing's cultivation needs.
"As for the choice between Origin Force and cultivation technique..."
After hesitating for a while, Su Xing still decided to choose the cultivation of the Thousand Flames Art!
Although external release level Spiritual Power could increase Su Xing's strength by more than thirty percent.
In the short term, Su Xing had no need for battle.
Moreover, he was currently at the Great Perfection of the Entwining level, and to advance to the external release level Spiritual Power, it would only require just over a decade, the matter of one more simulation.
The fifth layer of Thousand Flames Art obviously posed a greater difficulty in cultivation.
Of course, the most crucial point was.
Even with more than two million drops of Spiritual Liquid, Su Xing was still uncertain whether he could break through to the Great Perfection of Divinity Transformation.
But with the addition of the Thousand Flames Art, the speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy would be faster than that of Changchun Technique, giving Su Xing much more confidence in breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation Stage!
"Mastery of Origin Force can be picked in the next simulation... I choose the Spiritual Liquid and the Thousand Flames Art technique!"
Su Xing silently thought.
[You have successfully taken out one and a half million drops of Spiritual Liquid, spending 150 million energy points, leaving 48.37 million points.]
[You have successfully taken out the cultivation progress of Earth-Level Thousand Flames Art (Fifth Layer), spending 10 million energy points, leaving 38.37 million points.]
Seeing the plummeting simulation energy, Su Xing felt a pang of heartache.
"Damn it, this simulation energy really isn't enough to spend! Now I'm spending simulation energy by the billions?"
Su Xing shook his head lightly, but fortunately, there were still several tens of millions left, and together with the merchandise arriving next week, Su Xing should be able to take out the rewards he wanted in the next simulation.
"As for afterward, if it really isn't enough... then I'll have to make another trip to the Bai Family Manor for a windfall..."
Su Xing was mindful that the father and son of the Bai Family Manor were now actively buying up Instance Dungeon Items.
Once they had accumulated enough Instance Dungeon Items, Su Xing planned to reap another harvest.
As Su Xing was considering his options, a flood of memories came to him – these were insights into the Earth-Level Thousand Flames Art!
In just a moment, Su Xing's understanding of the Thousand Flames Art had broken through to the fifth layer, equivalent to a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator.
Afterward, Su Xing felt a subtle change in the Spiritual Energy within his body.
Because he hadn't practiced a fire attribute technique before, his wood attribute Spiritual Energy almost dominated completely.
Now, Su Xing's comprehension of both the Changchun Technique and Thousand Flames Art was on par.
This also allowed Su Xing to freely control the properties of the Spiritual Energy.
Releasing wood attribute Spiritual Energy could promote the growth of Spirit Plants, and even stabilize his injuries, possessing stronger regenerative properties and stamina.
If he erupted with fire attribute Spiritual Energy, it would significantly enhance the power of the Thousand Flames Art, and even Su Xing's Spiritual Energy would become more lethal.
"A True Spiritual Root with dual wood and fire attributes, these two complementing attributes do not cause an imbalance in my Spiritual Power, and can even enhance the might of my fire attribute Divine Skills!"
