While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move
Chapter 108 - 101: Do You Understand the Value of Enlightenment?

[In this mystical state of sudden insight, your mind was extraordinarily clear, and questions that previously perplexed you suddenly made complete sense.]

[Under the blessing of the sudden insight state, you immersed yourself in the cultivation of Origin Force, forgetting time, meals, and sleep. Your mastery of Origin Force improved by leaps and bounds!]

[Three days later, you slowly emerged from this profound state of sudden insight, amazed by the changes within yourself.]

[The good news is that your control over Origin Force reached the second stage: Wrapping!]

[The bad news is that because you were in the state of sudden insight for three consecutive days and neglected the Gathering Spirit Flowers, all the dozen or so immature Gathering Spirit Flowers you possessed withered away...]

Su Xing broke into a sweat seeing this.

"Goodness, I didn't expect this occasional sudden insight to be so powerful? Only three days of breakthrough directly pushed the operation level of Origin Force to the second stage! If following the usual cultivation speed, it would take at least thirty years to reach the second stage, right?"

"So, one day of sudden insight is equivalent to ten years of hard practice!"

Su Xing's mouth curled into a wide grin; he realized something.

This occasional sudden insight was like a "lottery ticket talent." It was usually an invisible talent, but once it was activated by chance, Su Xing indeed struck it big, just like winning the lottery.

"I just don't know how powerful this Wrapping stage of Origin Force is."

With a touch of curiosity in his eyes, Su Xing continued the simulation.

[Successfully advancing to the second stage of Origin Force made you feel unprecedented arrogance. You used a specialized training machine from the Great Xia Military and discovered that your strength, while utilizing Origin Force, was already approaching eight million pounds!]

[Such terrifying strength was something even a Heavenly King level profession user could never reach, so you made a bold decision—you challenged Lu Yuanwu, a Martial Emperor level expert, to test if your strength had reached the Martial Emperor level.]

[You were trounced by Lu Yuanwu; the experience made you realize that despite your significant improvement in strength, there was still an insurmountable gap between you and a veteran Martial Emperor level expert like him.]

[You asked Lu Yuanwu about your actual strength level. He told you that, with your strength, you were essentially invincible at the Heavenly King level, but it was still impossible to win at the Martial Emperor level.]

[Unbelieving, you asked why the gap was so large.]

[Lu Yuanwu told you that killing a Heavenly King level professional with Martial Emperor level strength was as easy as squashing an ant. Only when you could do the same would you be at the Martial Emperor level threshold.]

[Your inflated ego was shattered, knowing that while you could defeat a Heavenly King level professional, you were far from being able to instantly kill one.]

[So, you resolved to practice harder!]

[In the fourteenth year, you were deeply obsessed with cultivation, feeling that your physical strength was getting stronger and you had taken a solid step towards Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm!]

[In the fifteenth year, Luo Shuying's homeland was invaded by foreign races. Tens of thousands of Spirit Race members were killed, and thousands of Luo Shuying's clan members fled to Blue Star.]

Seeing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured:

"Initially, Luo Shuying's homeland was destroyed in just the eighth year, but now it's been delayed until the fifteenth year. It's clear that the Soul Condensing Pills significantly improved the Spirit Race, allowing them to hold on for seven more years."

After a pause, Su Xing sighed:

"Alas, the gap between Martial Emperor and Heavenly King levels is so large? Even mastering the use of Origin Force won't be enough to defeat a Martial Emperor expert..."

"And a Martial Emperor professional is equivalent to an old-school Divinity Transformation realm expert... Considering this, I'm still far from being able to challenge and defeat that damned Zong one-on-one!"

"It seems I'll only be able to do so after my Qi Refinement Cultivation reaches Nascent Soul stage Great Perfection. With both Qi Refinement and Body Refinement achieving Perfection, maybe I could compete with a Martial Emperor level expert?"

Su Xing wasn't sure of his true strength level, but he believed that improving his cultivation further would always be beneficial.

So Su Xing continued the simulation.

[In the sixteenth year, you consumed Flesh Essence from the Demon Emperor daily, and your strength rapidly improved. That year, your cultivation finally took a firm step forward—you became a Great Perfection cultivator in the Origin Martial Realm!]

[Taking advantage of your breakthrough, you challenged Lu Yuanwu again, but he once again trounced you.]

[You asked Lu Yuanwu about your strength, and he loftily claimed that you were just a slightly bigger ant to him.]

[The response hit you hard, motivating you to break through to the Divine Strength Realm.]

[In the seventeenth year, you trained day and night, and your physical body became more perfected. Your strength increased significantly compared to the previous year, greatly encouraging you to continue your hard work.]

[In the eighteenth year, your progress in cultivation slowed but continued. Believing that the Heavenly Dao rewards diligence, you trained even harder.]

[In the nineteenth year, you remained at the Great Perfection stage of the Origin Martial Realm. You began to pray for another sudden insight to break through to the Divine Strength Realm.]

[In the twentieth year, you still didn't experience another sudden insight, so you started looking for alternative methods. You pinned your hopes on a type of elixir called the Divine Strength Pill, hoping to break through the realm by refining it.]

[But you encountered a significant problem: even the treasuries of the Great Xia Country and the Descending Sect didn't have the main ingredient for refining the Divine Strength Pill—the Divine Power Vine!]

[The Divine Power Vine was an extremely rare medicinal herb, requiring a hundred years to mature. Ultimately, you found a few seeds of the Divine Power Vine in the master's gift left by Qing Yunzi, but it was too late to plant them at this time, so you temporarily gave up.]

[In the twenty-first year, your cultivation remained at the Great Perfection stage of the Origin Martial Realm with slow progress. You turned more of your effort into understanding and utilizing Origin Force.]

[In the twenty-second year, you became increasingly adept at using Origin Force, able to wrap it around any part of your body. This massively enhanced your defensive power and durability.]

[In the twenty-third year, your cultivation stagnated, and you continued to diligently practice the use of Origin Force.]

[In the twenty-fourth year, the intensity of your Origin Force surpassed previous levels, showing that your rigorous training had not been in vain.]

[In the twenty-fifth year, foreign races amassed an army to attack the Demon-Subduing Pass. Tens of thousands of soldiers defended it for months, but in the end, the pass fell, and all soldiers perished!]

[In the same year, a colossal beast descended upon the real world, obliterating the entire Great Xia Country in a single gulp.]

[You were swallowed by the beast, and you died!]

[Your talent "Dying with Unfinished Business" activated...]

[Ding, this simulation has ended!]

After the simulation ended, Su Xing fell into deep thought.

"As expected, breaking through from the Origin Martial Realm to the Divine Strength Realm is not easy. Currently, I'm at the seventh level of the Origin Martial Realm and will soon face the challenge of breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm…"

"To cross this hurdle, there are only two ways: one, break through my Physical Training Talent again! Purple-level Physical Training Talent might allow me to train faster and have a better chance of breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm..."

"But getting a Purple-level Physical Training Talent hinges purely on luck! If luck isn't on my side, I might not get it even after dozens of simulations, so I can't pin my hopes on this!"

Su Xing took a deep breath and murmured:

"Therefore, the most reliable way is to refine the Divine Strength Pill. Coupled with the Flesh Essence from the Demon Emperor and the advantage of my Big Eater Talent, I might be able to break through to the Divine Strength Realm..."

"To refine the Divine Strength Pill, I first need to cultivate the Divine Power Vine. It takes a hundred years to mature, even with my Plant Affinity Talent; it would probably take two to three decades to cultivate it, right?"

"But even after cultivating the Divine Power Vine, that's only the first step. I still need to master the method of refining the Divine Strength Pill, which is exceptionally challenging..."

Thinking about this gave Su Xing a headache, realizing there was still a long way to go before breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm.

"Alas, never mind! Let's first deal with the immediate matters and choose the simulation rewards..."

Sighing, Su Xing shifted his attention to this simulation's rewards.

[Occasional Sudden Insight]: Purple Talent, priced at 1,000,000 points of energy.

[Great Perfection in Origin Martial Realm]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 3,000,000 points of energy.

[Twenty-Five Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy Insight, priced at 500,000 points of energy.

[10 lbs. of Flesh Essence from the Demon Emperor]: The essence of the Demon Emperor's being, containing a large amount of life essence, priced at 1,000,000 points of energy.

[Thirty Mature Gathering Spirit Flowers]: Priced at 3,000,000 points of energy.

[Achievement in Origin Force Cultivation]: Contains insights and achievements in Origin Force cultivation, choosing it grants immediate second-stage (Wrapping) Origin Force, priced at 10,000,000 points of energy.

Looking at the simulation rewards in front of him, Su Xing quickly made his choices without much thought.

"I choose the Purple Talent: Occasional Sudden Insight, and the Origin Force Cultivation Achievement from this simulation!"

Choosing the Purple Talent was a no-brainer. This Occasional Sudden Insight could be considered a divine skill; as long as it triggered, a day of cultivation was worth ten years!

Su Xing didn't have high requirements for this talent; he hoped it could trigger at least once per simulation.

If it triggered, Su Xing would be hitting the jackpot!

As for Su Xing's second choice, it was the Origin Force Cultivation Achievement.

This was because cultivating Origin Force consumed a lot of time. Including Su Xing's twenty years of training and three days of sudden insight, the total cultivation time exceeded fifty years!

It meant that Su Xing spent fifty years to cultivate Origin Force to the second stage, the Wrapping level!

If he didn't choose it this time and missed another sudden insight next time, Su Xing would suffer a significant loss.

Regarding the Gathering Spirit Flowers and the Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm's cultivation, these were something Su Xing could achieve through persistent effort, so he wasn't in a hurry to choose them.

After Susu Xing made his choices, a prompt sound came from the simulator quickly.

[Ding, detecting that your current talent slots are full, expanding the second extra talent slot requires 100,000 points of simulated energy. Do you want to expand?]

[You can also choose to replace an existing talent, which requires 100,000 points of simulated energy. Do you want to replace it?]

Su Xing twitched his mouth upon hearing this. How come expanding the talent slot costs 100,000 points this time? Last time, it was only 10,000 points!

Although 100,000 points weren't much for Su Xing, if this trend continued, the third extra talent slot would likely cost a million points!

However, replacing a talent also required 100,000 points. For Su Xing, it was better to expand an extra talent slot.

"I choose to expand the extra talent slot!"

[Ding, you've chosen to expand an extra talent slot, costing 100,000 points. Remaining energy: 34,801,666 points.]

[You've chosen to take out the Purple Talent: Occasional Sudden Insight, costing 1,000,000 points. Remaining energy: 33,801,666 points.]

[You've chosen to take out the Origin Force Cultivation Achievement, costing 10,000,000 points. Remaining energy: 23,801,666 points.]

Seeing the significant reduction in points on the simulation panel, Su Xing looked heartbroken.

"Ah, this simulation really drained me, costing nearly twenty million points... At this rate, no amount of energy will be enough!"

But Su Xing understood that the huge expense this time was due to the cultivation of Origin Force. Including the immersive simulation fees, it alone had cost nearly twenty million points.

"Ah, hopefully, the improvement brought by Origin Force will be worth eighteen million points!"

As Su Xing made his choices, two mystical energies quickly descended upon him.

The purple light symbolizing Occasional Sudden Insight fell on Su Xing and soon vanished.

Immediately after, a vast amount of memories related to Origin Force cultivation poured into Su Xing's mind... As the memories streamed in, Su Xing's mastery of Origin Force rapidly improved.

No, it wasn't just the inflow of memories!

The amount and intensity of Origin Force in Su Xing's body also increased several times in an instant!

After some time, Su Xing opened his eyes, looking at his hands covered in Origin Force with a shock, murmuring:

"Hiss~ The mastery of Wrapping-level Origin Force provides such a terrifying boost?"
