While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move

Su Xing was somewhat moved when he saw this.

To directly slay old dog Zong, who was a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator—could Luo Shuying really accomplish that?

But if old dog Zong really was slain, that would definitely yield a massive amount of benefits. By then, Su Xing could inherit old dog Zong's legacy. Not to mention the treasures on his person, just having any cultivation-related heritage would mean a windfall for Su Xing.

After all, the Changchun Technique Su Xing practiced was obtained from old dog Zong.

"If this old dog really gets butchered, that would be a huge windfall!"

Su Xing looked forward to the upcoming simulation with some anticipation.

[The day before you defected from the Descending Sect, you and Luo Shuying had discussed a plan—that was for you to pretend to go out and use yourself as bait, luring old dog Zong out to assault you, then have Luo Shuying strike him down!]

[You were not worried about your own safety, since old dog Zong was eager to learn the secrets of your cultivation and would not easily kill you. Even in a life-and-death crisis, if you hid in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, he could do nothing to you.]

[What you worried about was whether Luo Shuying had the strength to kill old dog Zong, who surely was a formidable Divinity Transformation Realm practitioner, not even the average Martial Emperor Level fighter could be his match.]

[Lu Shuying expressed great confidence regarding this. She said that among all the protectors of the Descending Sect, her strength was second only to the mysterious Dragon Protector, and none of the other protectors were her match.]

[After receiving Luo Shuying's assurance, you breathed a sigh of relief and then proceeded to carry out the assassination plan.]

[That night, you pretended to go out alone and exposed your whereabouts to old dog Zong.]

[Old dog Zong had long coveted the secrets you possessed. If you hadn't always been inside the Sect with Luo Shuying's protection over the years, you'd probably be dead by now.]

[As expected, when you ventured out into the wilderness alone, old dog Zong could no longer hold back and made a move against you.]

[Old dog Zong was very skilled at concealing his presence. His figure flickered, and he appeared beside you, reaching out with a hideous laugh.]

[Just then, Luo Shuying took action. She emerged from the shadows, her body engulfed in surging black qi. With just one move, she severely wounded old dog Zong.]

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

[Luo Shuying relentlessly pursued him from behind. Just as old dog Zong looked about to be caught, he spat out a mouthful of blood and used a blood escape technique to flee.]

[Luo Shuying, experienced in pursuit, nearly caught up with old dog Zong several times. But old dog Zong took out a Spirit Fruit from his storage magical artifact and consumed it, his aura surged, and he fled again.]

[Luo Shuying, persistent, continued the chase. Old dog Zong then brought out three Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm puppets to block her, but Luo Shuying easily destroyed them and continued her pursuit.]

[Old dog Zong then erected a formation to trap Luo Shuying. She stimulated the black qi to break the formation and pursued once again.]

[After a series of chases, old dog Zong kept pulling out more than a dozen tricks, but with Luo Shuying's formidable strength, she always managed to follow him.]

[Eventually, old dog Zong bit the bullet, used the divine skill "Shrink the Land to an Inch" at a great cost, and finally escaped from the hands of Shadow Protector.]

[The chase between Luo Shuying and old dog Zong lasted several days. Knowing you couldn't match their speed, you could only go to the previously agreed place to await Luo Shuying.]

[Days later, Luo Shuying returned alone. She seemed to be in a bad mood, candidly admitting she had underestimated old dog Zong. Although his strength was not top-notch among Divinity Transformation Period cultivators, with over a thousand years of life, the number of life-saving tricks he held was unknown.]

[Luo Shuying informed you that although she didn't kill old dog Zong on the spot, he had been seriously injured and had reduced his lifespan by frequently activating secret techniques during his escape; he was no longer a concern.]

[After hearing this, you nodded but still felt a bit regretful in your heart.]

[Unsuccessful in killing old dog Zong, you and Luo Shuying no longer dwelled on it. Worrying about the Descending Sect sending pursuers, you headed to Kyoto and joined the Great Xia Military.]

Su Xing took a deep breath upon seeing this, feeling somewhat amazed.

"This old dog Zong truly lives up to the reputation of a Divinity Transformation Period cultivator who has lived for over a thousand years. To have survived until now, even after the extinction of Spiritual Energy, he is indeed cautious enough, and his bottom cards are just too numerous."

While Su Xing was shocked, he was even more excited and full of anticipation.

"The treasures on old dog Zong are indeed plentiful! Not only are there natural and earth treasures, Nascent Soul Stage puppets, but also numerous secret techniques and formations, even the divine skill of Shrink the Land to an Inch!"

Su Xing's heart grew more eager—if he could kill old dog Zong later, wouldn't all of these treasures become his own?

"Hiss, it seems I'll have to plan well in the future to take treasures from old dog Zong!"

Su Xing muttered to himself softly.

At the same time, old dog Zong, unaware of his location, felt a sudden chill.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[After joining the Great Xia Military, Lu Yuanwu personally received you. You donated the elixirs you had accumulated over the years to the Great Xia Military and soon, Great Xia Country had tens of thousands more Grandmaster Level warriors.]

[You turned the remaining raw materials into Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills, and within just one year, Great Xia Country had forty thousand more Grandmaster Level professionals.]

[But you were still not satisfied. You selected the veteran Grandmaster Level professionals and gave them Dragon Spirit Pills and Origin Martial Pills. Within one year, the number of Heavenly King Level powerhouses in Great Xia Country increased by six hundred!]

[That same year, due to your significant contributions, you received first-class treatment and became one of the key decision-makers of Great Xia Country. However, you still made elixirs and improved your cultivation daily, knowing these were the most important foundations.]

[After joining the Great Xia Country, Luo Shuying continued on her journey to eradicate the Descending Sect. She led a group of her subordinates, and they destroyed many strongholds of the Descending Sect within the Great Xia territory.]

[In the eighth year, Luo Shuying sought your help. She said that her homeland was suffering from a massive invasion of demonic beasts, and they could not hold out much longer.]

[You took this matter to heart and contacted the upper echelons of the Great Xia Military, hoping they could assist Luo Shuying's homeland in repelling the Foreign Race.]

[Because of your assistance, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass was relatively stable; thus, the Great Xia high-level officials collectively agreed to send over a hundred Heavenly King Level professionals and several Martial Emperor Level experts to enter the instance where Luo Shuying's homeland was located to help them repel the invasion of demonic beasts.]

[Luo Shuying was very grateful to you. Under the mutual affection, your relationship progressed further. Your innate talent, "Unyielding Silver Spear," played a significant role, and Luo Shuying was unable to resist, eventually laying down her armor and surrendering.]

[In the ninth year, you still consumed large amounts of Spirit Rice and Spirit Chicken meat daily, and your body became increasingly perfect. You felt yourself getting closer to the Origin Martial Realm but decided to be cautious and still refrained from taking the Origin Martial Pill.]

[One day, after returning from inspecting the military situation at Demon-Subduing Pass, you saw the mountainous piles of demonic beasts' corpses outside the city and had a sudden idea. If eating Spirit Rice and Spirit Chicken meat could enhance your physique, then perhaps consuming the flesh of demonic beasts could increase the strength of your body.]

[You consulted with the soldiers about this idea, and they told you that the flesh of most of these demonic beasts from the Foreign Race was harmful to the human body and smelled so foul that humans could not consume it.]

[However, some demonic beasts that had reached the Heavenly King Level before their death contained a small amount of Flesh Essence, which could help professionals improve their strength.]

[You were very interested in this and, thus, used your authority to procure a fifty-pound chunk of demonic beast Flesh Essence.]

[This piece of Flesh Essence was only the size of a palm, but it was filled with a rich life essence. You felt that this could greatly benefit your cultivation.]

[After confirming that Grandmaster Level professionals could consume demonic beast Flesh Essence to enhance their strength, you also took a few bites, weighing about half a pound.]

[Just a few bites made you feel full of energy, your stomach continuously churned, activating your Gluttonous Talent, and the endless energy nourished your body.]

[While the essence of the demonic beast flesh was taking effect inside your body, you quickly began to temper your physique and seized the time to cultivate.]

[The effect of the demonic beast Flesh Essence was several times better than Spirit Rice. Just one night of cultivation was worth several days of your previous efforts.]

[You were delighted with this and thus consumed half a pound of demonic beast Flesh Essence daily, adding it to your routine to increase your body's strength.]

[However, one should not consume too much demonic beast flesh at once. You still ate ten-plus pounds of Spirit Rice daily, and with the addition of demonic beast flesh, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level increased rapidly.]

[In just three months, the strength of your body increased by nearly a third compared to before. You believed that in this simulation, a breakthrough to the Origin Martial Realm was within reach!]

[By this time, the Flesh Essence of the demonic beast you had was all consumed, so you headed to the Demon-Subduing Pass to obtain more demonic beast Flesh Essence.]

[You learned that the Flesh Essence of demonic beasts was incredibly precious. A Heavenly King Level demonic beast that was several tens of meters tall and weighed hundreds of tons only had about fifty pounds of Flesh Essence in its body.

Moreover, obtaining this Flesh Essence was very rare, as it had to be extracted within an hour of killing the beast, or it would turn into dead meat, which would be harmful and useless if consumed.]

[Furthermore, the corpses of demonic beasts above the Heavenly King Level were consciously collected by the demonic beast army. Even the lower-ranking demonic beasts on the battlefield would compete to consume the Flesh Essence of their fallen comrades.]

[With various factors enhancing the rarity, the Flesh Essence of Demonic Beasts had become exceptionally difficult to obtain.]

[Despite its rarity, you still managed to bring back hundreds of pounds of Demonic Beast flesh from the military, and the general defending the Demon-Subduing Pass promised to supply you with over fifty pounds of Demonic Beast Flesh Essence every month.]

[With the nourishment from the Flesh Essence, coupled with the daily consumption of Spirit Rice, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved significantly, and your physical strength grew increasingly formidable.]

"Heavenly King Level Demonic Beasts produce Flesh Essence that can strengthen the body and rapidly enhance Body Refinement Cultivation Level when consumed?"

When Su Xing heard this, his eyes lit up. It was undoubtedly good news. Perhaps Spiritual Energy was scarce in the real world, but Demonic Beasts were plentiful—Demonic Beasts were everywhere in the Demon-Subduing Pass instances!

The only problem was the extremely low yield of Demonic Beast Flesh Essence. A several-hundred-ton Heavenly King Level Demonic Beast would only yield about fifty pounds of Flesh Essence...

And it was hard to obtain too. The corpses of Demonic Beasts were so massive they couldn't fit into a storage ring. Extracting the Flesh Essence from within their bodies would surely be more difficult and time-consuming, and on the battlefield, who had the time to concern themselves with Demonic Beast corpses?

Unless a Martial Emperor level expert intervened, how else could one obtain Demonic Beast Flesh Essence?

It was precisely because of these reasons that Demonic Beast Flesh Essence was so valuable.

"But, what if I could bring out a piece of Heavenly King Level Demonic Beast Flesh Essence from the simulator... If so, would I be able to consume Flesh Essence after every simulation session?"

It was a bright idea that dawned upon Su Xing, similar to how he previously obtained Spirit Stones, purely exploiting a simulator bug. Should it succeed, it would undoubtedly save Su Xing much effort.

With that thought, Su Xing continued with the simulation.

[In the tenth year, you still consumed Flesh Essence and Spirit Rice daily, and persisted in training hard and tempering your body.]

[As your physical strength gradually increased, you felt your bodily strength was about to hit a bottleneck, with the enhancement speed slowing down more and more. This wasn't because the effects of the Demonic Beast Flesh Essence were diminishing but because your body had reached a critical point.]

[Realizing that gorging your way to greatness was unrealistic, you decided to make steady, incremental improvements to your body's strength.]

[Thus, in addition to your daily physique training, you also began attempting to refine Soul Condensing Pills.]

[In the eleventh year, you maintained a regular routine, tempering your body for four hours, learning to refine Soul Condensing Pills for four hours, and the remaining four hours were spent eating, resting, and farming.]

[Sleep? Unnecessary! For you, a Nascent Soul elder, aspiring to be an emperor of hard work was a piece of cake.]

[Your Body Refinement Cultivation Level steadily increased, and the refinement of Soul Condensing Pills became more and more second nature.]

[In the twelfth year, you received a war report from the front lines. A vital supply line within the Demon-Subduing Pass had been destroyed, leaving tens of thousands of soldiers to fight on an empty stomach.]
