Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[In the twelfth year, aside from your daily cultivation practices, you spent two hours every day cultivating Protective Gang Qi.]

[After reaching the ninth level of the Return to Void Realm, your Cultivation Level was advancing more slowly.]

[But the Origin Force within you was substantial, and your mastery over the Protective Gang Qi was progressing swiftly, with each cultivation session bringing a slight improvement.]

[In the thirteenth year, your Qi Refining Cultivation improved slightly with each day, advancing steadily.]

[In the fourteenth year, your understanding of Protective Gang Qi deepened day by day, taking another solid step towards Great Perfection.]

[In the fifteenth year, on a morning with gentle winds and pleasant sun, you cultivated Protective Gang Qi as usual.]

[Suddenly, you felt you could sense the flow of Origin Force in minute detail, perceiving every inch of the Protective Gang Qi's changes.]

[Your eyes saw only Protective Gang Qi, you fell into a state of profound enlightenment…]

[You successfully triggered an epiphanic state!]

[After one day, the epiphany ended, and you felt a sense of loss, returning to the insight of mere mortals.]

[Unsurprisingly, you discovered your mastery over Protective Gang Qi had reached the level of Great Perfection.]

[What astonished you, however, was the feeling that your current Protective Gang Qi still wasn't perfect enough…]

[In the state of epiphany, you felt that Protective Gang Qi could be further enhanced, making your defense even more exceptional!]

[But what puzzled you was that the creator of this Divine Skill, the Protective Gang Qi, claimed Great Perfection to be the highest level, a peak you had now reached.]

[If Protective Gang Qi could be further refined and strengthened, it would mean surpassing the strength of the Divine Skill itself, reaching a realm unprecedented!]

[Regrettably, the chance epiphany had left you and, with your current mortal insight, you could not fathom the clues within.]

[Only by triggering a chance epiphany again could you perhaps improve this Divine Skill further…]

Su Xing raised his eyebrows and murmured:

"Great Perfection is the pinnacle of any Cultivation Technique or Divine Skill, by reason, leaving no room for progress..."

"To go beyond would mean surpassing the Divine Skill itself... the difficulty of which is imaginable!"

Take, for example, a test paper worth a total of a hundred points. No matter how hard you try, no matter how perfectly you answer, it's impossible to score one hundred and one points.

Because its limit is one hundred points!

But if you want to break through this limit, perhaps you need to discover that there's a mistake in the test paper.

Because only by surpassing the test itself can you break this limit...

"For a Divine Skill... to take a step further from the foundation of Great Perfection, reaching beyond the realm of its creator, not only demands a complete mastery of the skill but also powerful insight and a high Cultivation Level... of course, maybe a bit of luck too?"

Su Xing pondered thoughtfully.

Without a doubt, Protective Gang Qi was his current strongest defensive Cultivation Technique.

If he had reached the limit, that meant Su Xing's defensive power might struggle to increase further for some time.

To break this predicament, only surpassing the Divine Skill itself would do!

"But that's extremely difficult... Based on my current status, I have no clue. Maybe I should take a trip to the Luotian Meeting Instance?"

Su Xing nodded slightly.

It had been a long while since he had gone to the Luotian Meeting Instance to "grab some wool".

That's because during this period, Su Xing had been in an explosive growth phase in terms of his Cultivation Level and resources.

The Luotian Meeting could only offer Su Xing some guidance in cultivation and Cultivation Techniques.

Now that Su Xing had once again encountered difficulty, it was indeed time to explore there...

"Moreover, if I remember correctly... within the Luo Tian Sect, if one reaches Great Perfection in the Return to Void Realm before turning a hundred years old, one can become a figure on the level of a Saint Heir!"

"Saint Heir... also known as Immortal Seed! It symbolizes the seed of becoming an immortal... Maybe after I become an Immortal Seed, I can further explore the secrets of the Luo Tian Sect?"

"And I should be able to breakthrough to Great Perfection level after this simulation ends..."

Thinking this, Su Xing planned to immersively enter the Luotian Meeting once again in the next simulation.

His gaze turned towards the simulation panel.

[You realize that Protective Gang Qi can still progress further, but you are momentarily at a loss.]

[Consequently, you put aside the training of Protective Gang Qi and instead focus on enhancing your Qi Refining Cultivation Level.]

[In the sixteenth year, you used Low-grade Spirit Stones for cultivation.]

[As you advanced to the ninth level of the Return to Void Realm, you absorbed Spiritual Energy faster, and in one year you managed to consume nearly eighty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.]

[Through day after day of cultivation, two years passed like this...]

[In the eighteenth year, your last Low-grade Spirit Stone was depleted.]

[Fortunately, you managed to accumulate one million four hundred thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid!]

[You began to retreat, cultivating daily with Spiritual Liquid.]

[In the nineteenth year, your accumulated Spiritual Liquid was exhausted.]

[At the same time, your Cultivation Level had reached the latter half of the ninth level of the Return to Void Realm, just a step away from Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm.]

[With no Spiritual Liquid or Spirit Stones, you could only rely on cultivating with Spiritual Energy.]

[Luckily, after the Spirit Field Cave broke through to the middle-grade, the concentration of Spiritual Energy was much higher than before.]

[Thus, although your cultivation speed was slow, you were able to make gains with each retreat.]

[In the twentieth year, you learned that Luo Shuying's hometown had been breached by the Foreign Race.]

[Fortunately, with the assistance of the Great Xia Military, tens of thousands of Spirit Race people managed to escape, and they came to Demon-Subduing Pass to jointly resist the Foreign Race.]

[After hearing the news, you consoled Luo Shuying, then continued your secluded cultivation.]
