Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 156: Chapter 134: Consuming the Infant Tempering Pill, Half-Step into the Divinity Transformation Realm! (Second Update)

Su Xing’s breathing became rapid as he witnessed this.

“Finally, ready to condense the perfect Nascent Soul!”

Su Xing had prepared for this day for a long time!

From collecting two medicinal ingredients to breaking through his Divine Sense and refining the Infant Tempering Pill.

Now, only the final phase of Condensing Infant was left to accomplish a breakthrough and achieve the perfect Nascent Soul!

“A perfect Nascent Soul is the opportunity to become an Immortal!”

“But I wonder, besides the chance to become an Immortal, are there other benefits to having a perfect Nascent Soul?”

Su Xing took a deep breath, his gaze shifting toward the simulation panel.

[Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you swallowed the first Infant Tempering Pill.]

[The pill dissolved rapidly into a warm current within your body, spreading to your limbs and bones.]

[You felt the subtle changes in the Nascent Soul within your Dantian, as the faint layer of golden light on the outer layer of the Nascent Soul began to slowly shed…]

[The speed at which the golden light shed accelerated, and in just a moment, the infant-shaped Nascent Soul within your Dantian became plain and unadorned, as if it had lost its Divine Power.]

[Following that, you felt your Dantian becoming like a bottomless black hole, rapidly absorbing vast amounts of Spiritual Energy.]

[This influx of Spiritual Energy was transformed into pure Spiritual Power, continuously remolding the Nascent Soul within your Dantian, with the golden light re-emerging on the surface of the Nascent Soul, becoming deeper and more profound.]

[This process lasted a full three days!]

[After three days, you felt a slight fatigue in both your body and Primordial Spirit. The process of tempering the infant truly consumed mind and heart; a moment of carelessness in controlling Spiritual Energy could lead to complete failure!]

[Even though you were already somewhat tired, you dared not be careless at all.]

[For before the fifth level was broken through, the Infant Tempering phase could not be interrupted or paused. It had to be done in one go, otherwise, all efforts would be in vain!]

[You took another deep breath and swallowed the second Infant Tempering Pill.]

[With the intake of the second Infant Tempering Pill, you felt further changes in the Nascent Soul within you. The golden light dispersed, and then it began to fiercely draw in the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy like a siphon.]

[You concentrated on stabilizing the Spiritual Energy within you, constantly tempering the Nascent Soul inside.]

[Another three days passed…]

[At this point, you felt your sensitivity to nature’s spiritual energy becoming increasingly acute. With just a thought, vast amounts of Spiritual Energy would surge in to replenish your expended Spiritual Power.]

[However, such consumption of the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy was terrifying.]

[You felt fortunate to have planted over a hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers in advance. Otherwise, the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land would have already been exhausted, and you could have been interrupted during your breakthrough.]

Su Xing took a deep breath after reading this.

“Indeed, a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage consumes spiritual power at such a terrifying rate? No wonder that Damned Zong has been unable to break through to the Return to Void Realm. Insufficient Spiritual Energy from Spirit Stones must be the biggest reason!”

Pausing for a moment, Su Xing then thought:

“However, that Damned Zong manages to maintain his peak Divinity Transformation Cultivation Level. He must still have a large number of Spirit Stones; otherwise, his level would have likely fallen…”

A glimmer of anticipation lit up in Su Xing’s eyes.

Spirit Stones, something no one would consider having too many of—naturally, the more, the better.

Perhaps, when his strength was sufficient, he could earn a significant amount of Spirit Stones from that Damned Zong?

Su Xing shook his head slightly, deciding not to dwell on these matters for now. He needed to focus on the breakthrough at hand.

His gaze returned to the simulation panel.

[After the second round of tempering the infant, you felt the physical body and Primordial Spirit becoming even more weary; you desperately wanted to sleep.]

[But you knew that to succumb to rest at this stage would only result in failure.]

[So, you resolutely took the third Infant Tempering Pill!]

[As the pill entered your body, your Dantian was once again flooded with Spiritual Energy, while cracks appeared on the Nascent Soul, but it did not shatter completely. The golden light on the Nascent Soul dispersed once more.]

[After another three days, you completed the third round of tempering the infant.]

Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow and puzzled:

“That’s not right. According to Shennong Youtian, after taking the Infant Tempering Pill three times, the Nascent Soul should shatter and be reborn, thus breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage to reach half a step into Divinity Transformation…”

“At this moment, it is already a Nascent Soul of the first rank quality. If I choose not to stay, I can break through directly to Divinity Transformation… But if I dare to take the risk, I’ll have to brave the five levels to achieve the perfect Nascent Soul.”

Su Xing felt puzzled; his current situation was different from the information he had previously obtained.

“But at the moment, there’s no better option. If I want to shatter the infant, I have only to strive once more!”

Su Xing’s gaze once again settled on the simulation panel.

[After consecutively taking three Infant Tempering Pills, your Nascent Soul within the Dantian still showed no signs of shattering and rebirth. With your heart set, you took the fourth Infant Tempering Pill!]

[Following the intake of the fourth Infant Tempering Pill, your Nascent Soul finally shattered completely, turning into specks of golden light.]

[At the same time, your Dantian became like a black hole, frantically absorbing the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy.]

[The violent surge of Spiritual Energy made the Spiritual Power within your body unstable.]

[Even though you were very exhausted at the moment, you still clenched your teeth and persevered. As Spiritual Energy flooded in, your Nascent Soul in the Dantian finally began to condense again.]

[Several days later…]

[At this moment, you are already exhausted, the intensive training process of more than ten days, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would find it difficult to maintain, if it wasn’t for your powerful divine sense, you would have likely failed in your breakthrough long ago.]

[But even so weary, your efforts are ultimately worthwhile!]

[Inside, you observe your spirit, seeing the Nascent Soul within your Dantian. At this moment, the Nascent Soul’s light shines even brighter, emanating a mysterious aura, how much stronger is it compared to an ordinary Nascent Soul?]

[With the successful Infant Tempering, you have successfully condensed a first-rate Nascent Soul, becoming what people refer to as a half-step Divinity Transformation Cultivator!]

[After the success of the Infant Tempering, you finally fall into a deep sleep contentedly, sleeping for three whole days and nights before slowly waking up.]

[Now you face two choices: break through to Divinity Transformation in one fell swoop; or attempt to condense a perfect Nascent Soul to peek into the secrets of immortality!]

Su Xing took a long breath after reading this.

“Finally, I have reached the half-step to the Divinity Transformation Stage, huh… Next, I just need to break through five barriers, cut through false thoughts, and enter the Divinity Transformation Realm, right?”

Su Xing muttered quietly to himself.

As for directly breaking into the Divinity Transformation Realm?

This option wasn’t even within Su Xing’s consideration.

To only regard immediate benefits and ignore long-term development is unquestionably a fool’s choice.

With the simulator, Su Xing’s vision was set on the highest peak amongst all the paths.

“As for cutting through distracting thoughts and entering Divinity Transformation… If I remember correctly, it should be the process of cutting through the barriers of desire, fear, greed, pride, and anger, starting with the barrier of desire, followed by fear, greed…”

Pausing for a moment, Su Xing began recalling some information about breaking through the five barriers.

“Breaking through the five barriers can be said to be transcending each layer of heaven, with each barrier broken, the speed of communication with nature’s spiritual energy in the Divinity Transformation Realm will rise a level, and the spiritual power within the body will be more substantial!”

“Among those of the same level, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator who has broken through two barriers will almost certainly be able to defeat a cultivator who has only cut through one!”

Su Xing took a deep breath and whispered to himself:

“It’s a pity that the five barriers are not so easy to break through! During the process of breaking through the five barriers, numerous distracting thoughts will flood in, and one must hold onto one’s true heart to successfully break through! And if the breakthrough fails and it’s not interrupted in time, it’s very likely that one will die and one’s cultivation will be destroyed!”

“Therefore, any cultivator who wants to break through the five barriers must make adequate preparations!”

Having reached a conclusion in his mind, Su Xing’s gaze turned towards the simulation panel.

[You have chosen not to step into the Divinity Transformation Stage, nor have you immediately begun to break through the five barriers.]

[Before attempting to break through the five barriers, you need to make full preparations, otherwise if you fail in your breakthrough, this simulation will have been wasted.]

[After the retreat ended, you continued your daily routine of alchemy, and you referred to Damned Zong as your sworn brother.]

[In the third year, you had gathered enough medicinal materials and were ready to defect from the Descending Sect.]

[Of course, before defecting, you didn’t forget to treat Damned Zong to a meal.]

[The next day, you and Luo Shuying defected from the Descending Sect and sought refuge with the Great Xia Military.]

[After you presented the elixirs you had refined over the years, the Great Xia Military warmly welcomed you and afforded you a high degree of respect.]

[Freed from the restraints of the Descending Sect, you peacefully practiced your cultivation in Kyoto, refining elixirs daily.]

[Meanwhile, upon learning of your and Luo Shuying’s defection, the Descending Sect initiated an assassination campaign against you, and naturally, Damned Zong was also targeted.]

[In just a few months, you faced over ten assassination attempts, but you were well-prepared, with strength comparable to a Martial Emperor, ordinary assassinations couldn’t harm you at all.]

[Thus, over the span of two years, you refined enough elixirs to add many thousands of Grandmasters, several hundred Heavenly Kings, and dozens of Martial Emperors to the forces of Great Xia Country.]

[In the sixth year, after all matters were handled, you began to focus entirely on how to break through the barriers.]

[The first barrier of the five is the barrier of desire, and based on your guess, this barrier would use beauty to tempt you, causing you to lose yourself and be forever lost in it.]

[As for you, your resistance to beauty has always been weak.]

[Therefore, to successfully pass the barrier, you decided to put yourself through a special training!]

Su Xing’s corner of the mouth twitched upon reading this, and he retorted:

“Hey hey hey, what do you mean by my resistance to beauty being weak? Just a simulator, clarify what you say, will you!”

“I swear, I utterly abhor drugs and gambling!”

Simulator: “…What about lechery?”

Su Xing: “I swear, I, Su Xing, hold lechery and drugs and gambling as irreconcilable!”

Returning to the point, Su Xing’s gaze went back to the simulation panel, curious to see how he engaged in “special training.”

[You recalled the cultivation novels you read in your previous life where Immortals descended to the mortal realm for trials, and thus you decided to challenge yourself as well.]

[You confessed to Jin Congxue, and naturally, Jin Congxue had no reason to reject you, and you joined together in a bed-ridden partnership.]

[You spent a joyful time together, during which the strength in your waist diminished somewhat.]

[A few months later, having undergone Jin Congxue’s devilish training, you felt somewhat confident about passing through the barrier of desire.]

[But you decided to play it even safer, so you went to find Luo Shuying…]
