Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!
Chapter 1226 427: Arrival at the Seventh Layer of Heaven, New Enemies!

"Beginning immersive simulation... Duration: one hundred years!"

Su Xing murmured to himself.

[Ding! Simulation successful... Remaining Origin Energy Source: 1,574,808 points...]

As the prompt faded, Su Xing's consciousness entered the simulated world.

...

Nine Heavens Domain, The Fifth Layer of Heaven.

Su Xing began comprehending the Dao of the Five Elements.

Over a hundred magical treasures infused with the Dao Essence of the Five Elements were laid before Su Xing.

He drank a sip of Enlightenment Tea, entering a state of "The Great Wisdom in Foolishness," multiplying his comprehension by tens of times.

In the blink of an eye, seventy-two years flew by.

Su Xing fully devoted himself to advancing the Five Elements Dao.

Finally, he elevated it from the beginner level of the Fifth Realm to Minor Achievement in the Fifth Realm.

Suddenly, he felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth violently surge.

The immortal power within Su Xing's body flowed unceasingly into his palm.

The Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique appeared in his hands.

Gazing at the swirling Five Elements vortex in his palm, Su Xing nodded with satisfaction and remarked:

"Not bad. After advancing to Minor Achievement in the Fifth Realm, the power of the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique has increased by over fifty percent!"

At present, Su Xing still had one chance for Inevitable Enlightenment and more than ten Wen Dao Pills yet to be consumed.

Without hesitation, Su Xing spent eight years consuming all these elixirs and his chance for Inevitable Enlightenment.

This further improved Su Xing's grasp of the Dao of the Five Elements.

Yet, Su Xing still had twenty years remaining in the immersive simulation.

He raised his head to look at the sky and muttered:

"It's time to visit that place..."

"The Seventh Layer of Heaven!"

Originally, in Su Xing's plans, the Seventh Layer of Heaven was to be visited only after reaching the Golden Immortal Realm.

The purpose was to search for traces of the Tianyuan Divine Tree.

However, the time retrospect function of the simulator had unexpectedly allowed Su Xing to acquire a Tianyuan Fruit.

This delayed his journey to the Seventh Layer of Heaven for some time.

But now, Su Xing's strength had grown considerably, prompting his decision to explore it after all.

"The Seventh Layer of Heaven, one of the upper three heavens of the Nine Heavens Domain... Involved with the mystery of becoming a saint and ancient secrets!"

"Naturally, I have to explore it..."

Su Xing muttered, invoking the Dao of Space, his figure flickering through the air with astonishing speed as he journeyed toward the Sixth Layer of Heaven.

One day later, Su Xing encountered an invisible barrier.

Passing through this barrier would lead to the Sixth Layer of Heaven, a place Su Xing had visited before, so there were no surprises.

Soon, Su Xing reached the Sixth Layer of Heaven.

Once more, he was greeted by the desolate scene.

Everywhere were ruins, yellow sands, barren lands, fallen mountains—unmistakable traces of a great battle.

Even though this wasn't Su Xing's first time witnessing these sights, he was nevertheless awed by the ancient battle from countless years ago.

This time, however, Su Xing did not linger on the Sixth Layer of Heaven.

Instead, he pressed onward toward the higher celestial realms.

With one step, he traversed hundreds of thousands of miles.

Without rest, Su Xing advanced toward the Seventh Layer of Heaven at astonishing speeds.

Roughly three days passed.

Su Xing couldn't recall how much ground he had covered.

He only knew that the barrier between the Sixth and Seventh Heavens was vaster than the largest Great Thousand World in the Three Thousand Worlds.

"So, this is the barrier leading to the Seventh Layer of Heaven..."

Su Xing extended a hand, sensing a black light curtain before him.

Just by touching its surface, Su Xing felt a uniquely unsettling presence.

It was as if he had been stripped bare and scrutinized entirely.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Su Xing did not encounter the resistance he had anticipated.

The light curtain simply "examined" Su Xing's realm, then allowed him to enter the Seventh Layer of Heaven.

"So this is the Seventh Layer of Heaven?"

Moments later, Su Xing realized he had stepped into a new world.

His first impression was the overwhelming spiritual energy!

The area in which Su Xing found himself was but an unremarkable corner of the Seventh Layer of Heaven.

Yet, the spiritual energy around him was unmistakably at the Blessed Land level!

Such concentration was extraordinarily rare in the Three Thousand Worlds!

It must be noted that even in the Great Thousand Worlds, whether Qingyun Realm or Heavenly Secrets Realm, the spiritual energy was far more abundant than in the Minor Thousand Worlds.

However, even there, it rarely reached the level of a Blessed Land!

Only certain treasured locales could achieve such a remarkable standard.

In the Three Thousand Worlds, every Blessed Land was occupied by cultivators above the level of an Immortal.

In fiercely contested regions, even Heavenly Immortals were considered unworthy of owning a Blessed Land.

And yet, upon entering the Seventh Layer of Heaven, the sheer density of spiritual energy informed Su Xing of one undeniable fact.

The most meager regions of the Seventh Layer of Heaven were already at the Blessed Land level!

"My heavens..." Su Xing couldn't help but marvel.

The Seventh Layer of Heaven—how vast could it truly be?

Su Xing didn't know, but he was certain it far surpassed any Great Thousand World.

He speculated that the Seventh Layer of Heaven might be as expansive as an entire Great Domain in the Lower Realms!

"An entire domain's worth of Blessed Land-level spiritual energy—what kind of concept is this!?"

Su Xing swiftly recalled an ancient legend.

It was said that during the Ancient Era, the heavens and earth were divided into an Upper and Lower Realm. The Upper Realm, rich in spiritual energy, was the birthplace of cultivation.

In that realm, myriad races thrived, while the Human Race was but an insignificant fragment of the greater whole.

Now, as Su Xing stood in this land himself, only one thought occupied his heart—the legend was true!

Overwhelmed by astonishment, Su Xing finally took the time to properly observe this realm.

Firstly, the Seventh Layer of Heaven was fundamentally different from the First through Fifth Layers. Here, there was no pervasive fog, nor were there fragmented secret realms scattered across the heavens.

Instead, much like the Sixth Layer of Heaven, this place resembled a complete world akin to the outer realms.

Traces of ancient battles were still evident, from rivers that had ceased to flow to collapsed mountains.
