Chapter 288: Chapter 179: Spirit Stone Grade, Take Away Rewards! (5k)_2
```
[You battled a Legendary Demon Beast for hundreds of rounds and didn't fall the slightest bit behind.]
[The Protective Gang Qi firmly shielded you, while an outer layer of Origin Force armor significantly boosted your defense, and the continuously emerging Origin Force within replenished your expended energy.]
[The Legendary Demon Beast, massive as a mountain, was hardly injured by ordinary attacks.]
[Its thick hide, coupled with layers of fat and muscle hundreds of meters thick, served as an excellent protective barrier.]
[Even for cultivators in the middle stage of the Broken Void Realm, slaying a legendary beast of this size is an incredibly difficult task.]
[And you, too, faced this troublesome challenge; with the power of the Broken Void Realm, if the enemy wasn't so immense, you could easily injure or even seriously wound them.]
[But against the Legendary Demon Beast, due to its unique size, it was almost immune to most blunt force trauma.]
[Compared to brute strength against the vast frame of the Legendary Demon Beast, you found that using Origin Force in combination with the Ink Ice Sword proved more effective.]
[With the boost from the Origin Force and your terrifying strength, you could easily slice off large chunks of flesh from the Legendary Demon Beast.]
[Unfortunately, your swordsmanship was still at the Human Sword stage and couldn't harness the power of heaven and earth to kill the legendary beast.]
[After hundreds of rounds of combat, you sustained minor injuries, but the Legendary Demon Beast you fought suffered serious wounds, though its life was not in danger.]
[Just when you were prepared to wear down the beast, the Human Emperor was ultimately slain!]
[Under the assault of three Demon Emperors, the outnumbered Human Emperor perished in battle.]
[And you were killed by the now free-handed Demon Emperor, your Divine Soul annihilated...]
[You died!]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing took a deep breath.
The benefits Su Xing gained from this simulation were not small.
Whether it was the inheritance of Damned Zong or the exploration of ancient tombs and ruins, the benefits were sufficient to give Su Xing a qualitative leap in his foundation in a short period of time!
"However, that Legendary Demon Beast really is tough!"
"Although it's only at the Legendary Level, its thick hide and huge size... Even cultivators in the late Legendary or late Broken Void stages would find it hard to slay easily..."
Su Xing murmured.
"To kill this legendary beast, it seems I must learn the Three Talents Sword Technique. If I can master the Earth Sword part, my power from the Cultivation Technique will surely increase dramatically, perhaps even allowing me to slay it?"
Su Xing thought to himself.
Then, he eagerly looked at the rewards from this simulation.
[Talisman Expert]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points.
[Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 500,000 energy points.
[Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique (Proficiency)]: Heaven Rank high-grade secret technique, created by a wandering Taoist, almost on par with Dao Arts, offering a glimpse into the true nature of the Fate Grand Dao, almost like a Dao Art, capable of divining good and bad luck, avoiding danger.
For the training of the human part of the technique, has reached the entry level, only a fine line away from minor proficiency. Priced at 120 million simulation energy.
[Sword Control Technique (Minor Proficiency)]: The swift Divine Skill of controlling a sword, determined by the quality of the Spirit Sword and the strength of the Sword Cultivator. Advance to take the heads of enemies thousands of miles away, retreat to joyously ride the sword, traversing tens of thousands of miles in an instant. Priced at 80 million energy points.
[200,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, 5,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones, 300 high-grade Spirit Stones]: Priced at 280 million energy points.
[5000 plants of various herbs aged 3000 years each]: Priced at 500 billion energy points.
[Damned Zong's Diary (Complete)]: Priced at 10,000 energy points.
[Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique (Complete)]: Priced at 500 million energy points.
...
Su Xing scanned the simulation rewards and found that the simulation triggered dozens of reward options.
Among them were most of the valuable items from Damned Zong's Storage Magical Artifact.
Those treasures and magical artifacts were useful, but not worth Su Xing using his precious exchange opportunities and simulation energy.
The truly valuable rewards were the eight listed above.
Su Xing began to analyze the rewards one by one.
"Talisman Expert... This talent might be useful later, but there's no rush..."
"Once I get Damned Zong's Storage Magical Artifact later, I can study the Dao of Arrays, Artifact Refining, talismans, and other sidelines..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly, excluding the choice of talent first.
Next was the Alchemy Experience, which Su Xing had no intention of choosing at the moment.
"As for the Spirit Stones... Although I can afford the 280 million energy points at present... I haven't yet broken through to the Return to Void Realm, so choosing Spirit Stones is also pointless for now."
"As for the Spiritual Medicine... Damn, 5000 plants of 3000-year-old medicines, worth a whopping 500 billion energy points? That's way too expensive!"
Su Xing expressed that he couldn't afford to exchange them.
"As for the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique... I've already learned a more useful version, the human part of the technique, so I'm not in a hurry to exchange it..."
"But with a total value of 500 million energy points, close to the level of Dao Arts... This technique indeed has an extraordinary origin!"
Pausing, Su Xing's gaze turned to Damned Zong's diary.
To his surprise, the whole stack of diaries only required 10,000 energy points.
It was probably because, in the simulator's assessment, it was just a diary of an evil cultivator, hence not very valuable.
"Well... At the end of the day, the rewards to choose are still the Sword Control Technique and the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique!"
Su Xing's mouth curved slightly upward.
With a minor proficiency level Sword Control Technique, collecting Spring Dew Pure Water wouldn't be a problem, and thus he would be able to refine the Broken Void Pills sooner.
And the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique was a prerequisite for Su Xing to quickly defeat Damned Zong, an essential choice!
"I choose the Sword Control Technique and the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique!"
Su Xing silently recited.
