Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

"So, the Spirit Vein Dragon appeared on the reward list as expected, but the price?"

"Damn it, just a tease, right!"

Su Xing internally ranted.

Five million origin energy sources... equivalent to fifty trillion simulated energy!

This price was even five times more expensive than the branch of the Divine Tree of Fusang!

Of course, this didn't mean the Spirit Vein Dragon was more precious than the branch of the Divine Tree of Fusang.

After all, the Fusang Tree was an innate spiritual treasure nurtured by heaven and earth, theoretically of higher status than the Spirit Vein Dragon.

But Su Xing just obtained a branch, which was also burned.

The truly valuable aspect of the branch of the Divine Tree of Fusang lay in the Great Dao Principles it contained.

But in value, it was no greater than the Spirit Vein Dragon.

"Tsk tsk, what is the origin of this simulator?"

"To think... it could even replicate a supreme treasure like the Spirit Vein Dragon! Sigh... but that price, just worth a look!"

Su Xing lightly shook his head.

Although he desired the Spirit Vein Dragon immensely, the staggering price left Su Xing sighing in despair.

Su Xing shifted his gaze towards the line labeled Integration Phase Cultivation Level and then, with a look of surprise, murmured:

"Breaking through the Integration Phase, one realm actually only requires five hundred million energy!"

"This... is half of what I imagined it to be!"

Su Xing was a bit pleasantly surprised.

Originally, he had thought that breaking through a minor realm in the Integration Phase would require ten times that amount, which was one billion energy per realm advancement.

Thus, moving from the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm to the Perfection of the Integration Phase would require ten billion energy!

Including the breakthrough to Chaos Origin Realm... that was twenty billion.

This had caused Su Xing a long period of energy anxiety, so he dared not waste even a fraction of energy.

But now, needing only five hundred million energy per realm, combined breakthroughs in Body Refinement and Qi Refinement to the next Great Perfection, amounted to only ten billion, halving the original requirement instantly.

"Not bad... judging by this, the energy required for future breakthroughs will be considerably less!"

"Including the production of fasting pills and acquisition of alien metal mines... I might be able to gather the fifty billion needed for Integration Phase Perfection in two to three months!"

Su Xing's face glowed with joy.

"However... during the previous simulation breakthrough, it seemed to have been noticed by Xue Yue?"

"Although it didn't cause any interference, it's best to be cautious!"

Su Xing frowned slightly, not wishing to be under the eye of any unknown entity.

After some contemplation, Su Xing began to disguise and conceal his presence, shielding himself from heavenly secrets.

As dusk approached, Su Xing flew on his sword and entered the Immortal Martial Era instance.

"Compared to Blue Star, it might be more concealed to break through in the Immortal Martial Era instance?"

Su Xing murmured.

He still hadn't visited the ruins of the Wan Mu Sect in reality and didn't intend to for now.

If spirit stones and spiritual medicines were needed, he'd fetch them from the simulation, which wouldn't waste much time.

After pondering for a moment, Su Xing entered the ruins of the Five Elements Sect.

When he killed the Five Elements True Master before, he purposely didn't destroy the formation here, keeping it as a hidden stronghold.

After all, the formation outside the Five Elements Sect ruins had a specifically designed back door for concealing aura, making it a natural cover for Su Xing.

After entering the formation in the ruins, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Cave.

With double insurance, Su Xing felt much more at ease.

"No, it's not enough! I need to set up another formation to shield heavenly secrets!"

Su Xing muttered and then arranged a "Heavenly Secrets Shield Formation" according to the records in the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique.

After completing all this, Su Xing cast a fortune for himself.

The hexagram was auspicious, and Su Xing assuredly said:

"I choose Integration Phase cultivation level and Minor Spirit Gathering Array comprehension!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the simulator's prompt sounded in his ear.

[You successfully gained first-layer Integration Phase cultivation, costing five hundred million energy, with nineteen billion one hundred twenty-six million energy remaining.]

[You successfully gained Minor Spirit Gathering Array (minor achievement), costing three hundred million energy, with sixteen billion one hundred twenty-six million energy remaining.]

As the simulator's prompt ended, two profound waves of energy entered Su Xing's body.

The first effect was the continuous surge of Su Xing's aura.

This breakthrough caused more commotion than any previous one!

Su Xing hurriedly closed his eyes, calming his mind and harmonizing his breath.

Then Su Xing's momentum began to soar!

Spirit power, originally surging like a great river within him, started to converge, roaring...

In just a few dozen breaths, Su Xing's spirit power reached a critical point.

In the next instant, he successfully broke through to the Integration Phase cultivation level!

The cultivation feedback from the simulator felt so natural, without the slightest feeling of unstable cultivation.

With Su Xing's continuously soaring aura, and with the cultivation breakthrough to the Integration Phase, some anomalies began to appear in the sky above the Immortal Martial Era instance.

Centered around the Five Elements Sect ruins, thunder rolled a hundred miles wide, and dragons seemed to flicker among the dark clouds...

This was the vision of a powerful cultivator's breakthrough!

If an ordinary cultivator broke through to the Integration Phase, visions would inevitably appear, and people within a thousand miles would sense the breakthrough's location.

But Su Xing's cultivation was fed back by the simulator, isolating most of the heavenly secrets and visions.

Coupled with the formation in the ruins, Spirit Field Cave, and the Heavenly Secrets Shield Formation's triple shield, the vision lasted only a few breaths.

Soon the thunder in the sky gradually dissipated, without exposing Su Xing's location.

After breaking through to the Integration Phase, Su Xing meditated with closed eyes, adjusting himself for a quarter of an hour before slowly rising.
