While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move

Su Xing cursed inwardly, feeling that killing Damned Zong directly was still too merciful.

He should have tortured him with the Li Fire Technique for forty-nine days and only then destroyed his Primordial Spirit.

Su Xing then took out Damned Zong\'s diary to skim through it.

But alas, Damned Zong\'s diary had too many entries, mostly trivial matters, and Su Xing\'s immersive simulation time was short, so he could only get a general idea, hoping to find useful information among them.

"In the year 2758 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I slaughtered a sect and happened upon the secret method to form a Nascent Soul, hence I went into seclusion."

"In the year 2769 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I finally formed my Nascent Soul!"

"In the year 2778 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I was pursued and fled for my life..."

"In the year 2803 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I was pursued and fled for my life..."

"In the year 2930 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I reached Great Perfection in the Nascent Soul, thus I sought the Infant Tempering Pill to form a top-quality Nascent Soul!"

"In the year 2933 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I found an alchemy grandmaster who could refine the Infant Tempering Pill, and I killed him!"

"In the year 2935 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I fled for my life..."

"In the year 2940 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I broke through to Divinity Transformation!"

"In the year 2963 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I returned to my sect and slaughtered them all!"

"In the year 3338 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I achieved Great Perfection in Divinity Transformation!"

"In the year 3339 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, nature\'s spiritual energy grows ever thinner, cultivators no longer hope for immortality, thus I took the Yellow Springs Pill and fell into slumber, hoping to extend my life and find another opportunity..."

"In the year 5077 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I was unintentionally awakened by a group of low-level Body Refinement Cultivators, furious, I killed them!"

"In the year 5088 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, there\'s no longer spiritual energy between heaven and earth, no hope for proving the Dao, just surviving..."

"In the year 5168 of the Immortal Martial Chronicle, I chanced upon an old dragon and joined the Descending Sect! In search of a chance for immortality..."

Su Xing sighed in relief as he read this and murmured,

"Damned Zong, this guy actually lived for over two thousand years?"

"Although, he did extend his lifespan by falling into a slumber with the Yellow Springs Pill... still, living for over two thousand years is quite astonishing!"

Looking back at Damned Zong\'s life, he was not considered to be exceptionally talented, forming his Nascent Soul at over three hundred years old and achieving Divinity Transformation at over five hundred years old, probably surviving so long by taking numerous life-extending Spiritual Medicines.

"This Damned Zong has committed many evils throughout his life, but he was very cautious, escaping from the moment he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage until he clawed his way to the Divinity Transformation Stage, then returned to his sect, exterminating the entire sect... truly, the revenge of a petty person can wait for five hundred years..."

Su Xing finally understood why Damned Zong was so cautious.

"However, there doesn\'t seem to be any mention of the Changchun Technique in Damned Zong\'s diary... Could it be that the sect he originally joined was the Changchun Sect?"

"Or rather... did this old dog obtain this cultivation technique when he was destroying other sects?"

Su Xing was curious; the Changchun Technique was the cultivation technique he was currently practicing, sadly only up to the Return to Void Realm.

After this time, Su Xing would soon be entering the Divinity Transformation Stage, and wasn\'t far from reaching the peak of the Changchun Technique.

Therefore, Su Xing must quickly find a way to acquire a more advanced cultivation technique...

Suddenly Su Xing thought of something, looking at the diary\'s dates, he murmured,

"Immortal Martial Chronicle... If I remember correctly, the Great Xia Country should have a copy of coordinates named \'The Age of the Waning Dharma\', right? Perhaps, Damned Zong was a person from that copied world?"

Su Xing pondered silently, maybe he could explore this Age of the Waning Dharma copy world a bit in the future, possibly obtaining some useful information.

Su Xing briefly flipped through Damned Zong\'s diary again.

Soon after, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.

Back in the real world, Su Xing looked toward the simulation panel.

[You have perused the treasures and diary left by Damned Zong, hoping to glean some useful information.]

[Through this information, you have indeed learned more of the secrets of the cultivation world, it\'s a pity that Damned Zong\'s magical artifacts have mostly been destroyed.]

[You and Luo Shuying have hidden in the mountains for several days, during which you have spent day and night together, a lone man and a widowed woman in a pitch-dark cave, and your affection for each other has deepened.]

[In a few days, Lu Yuanwu arrived with a few Martial Emperors and Legendary Level experts to rendezvous, and you safely reached the Kyoto of Great Xia.]

[After returning to Kyoto, you gave all the elixirs that you had accumulated over the years to the Great Xia Military, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level warriors to the Great Xia Country.]

[The Great Xia Military instantly took this matter seriously, and you were hailed as a hero of the Human Race, successfully ascending into the upper echelons of Great Xia.]

[Faced with fame and fortune, however, you showed no interest. Instead, you used your authority to lease ten thousand mu of mountainside in the outskirts of Kyoto, and deployed your personnel to start developing the land.]

[In the seventh year, you were both overseeing the development of the wasteland and refining middle-grade elixirs like Divine Strength Pills, Dragon Spirit Pills, and Origin Martial Pills.]

[You kept a hundred premium Divine Strength Pills for your own use, and donated the remaining elixirs to the Great Xia Military, thereby adding several hundred Heavenly Kings and several dozen Martial Emperor Level powerhouses to Great Xia Country!]

[As a result, your stature within Great Xia and even among the entire Human Race grew ever higher, but you focused your attention on attempting to cultivate Spirit Grains.]

[You came to the center of those ten thousand mu of land and began to figure out how to lay out a small Spirit Gathering Array.]

[The Spirit Gathering Array you improved used a Spirit Stone and a Gathering Spirit Flower as the array\'s focal points: the Spirit Stone released spiritual energy outward, while the Gathering Spirit Flower absorbed spiritual energy and could release even more spiritual energy.]

[Such a cycle repeated over and over, where a Spirit Stone and a Gathering Spirit Flower acted like perpetual engines of spiritual energy, continuously releasing spiritual energy outward.]

[But you quickly discovered that spiritual energy would also scatter and deplete. In the Spirit Gathering Array, if there were too many living beings, the supply of spiritual energy couldn\'t keep up with the consumption, and the spiritual energy would gradually diminish until it was exhausted.]

[You had to find this balance, where the consumption of spiritual energy was just slightly less than the supply. After some measurement, you realized that a small Spirit Gathering Array could cover a maximum range of three mu.]

[Therefore, in the fields of the outskirts of Kyoto, you laid down three Spirit Gathering Arrays and took out seeds to plant Spirit Grains in nine mu of land.]

[In the following year, you both cultivated and experimented with the cultivation of Spirit Grains.]

[Besides that, every day you also planted Three-tailed Phoenix Grass and Jade Bone Snow Ginseng in the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]

[The Three-tailed Phoenix Grass thrived pleasingly. In just seven short years, it had almost produced its first tail feather, and you were delighted, convinced that you could achieve full maturity in this trial.]

[On the other hand, the cultivation of Jade Bone Snow Ginseng worried you. It grew in extremely cold places and required spiritual energy, but your Spirit Field Blessed Land, being ever spring-like, couldn\'t satisfy the growing conditions for the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng.]

[Having no other choice, you took Luo Shuying with you to one of the Twelve Domains in the Seven Countries—the Arctic Domain. Located in the far north, it was perennially below minus fifty degrees, where ordinary lifeforms could hardly survive.]

[However, as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, you were unaffected by heat and cold. You found a secluded spot in the Arctic Domain, where you planted the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng and set up a small Spirit Gathering Array to provide the ginseng with spiritual power.]

[After ensuring the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng could survive, you returned to Great Xia Country.]

[In the eighth year, the experimentation with your Spirit Field on the outskirts of Kyoto was completed. Comparing the Spirit Grains of the three Spirit Gathering Arrays, you found that the spiritual energy in one location was already exhausted, but the others still had ample spiritual energy.]

[You harvested the Spirit Grains from the other two locations, discovering that the yield for one mu was about five thousand jin. Going beyond that amount, the supply of spiritual power would be insufficient.]

[At the same time, since the land in the real world cannot compare to that of a Spirit Field Blessed Land, it could only yield one crop per year.]

[Even so, you were extremely satisfied. A Spirit Stone paired with a Gathering Spirit Flower could cultivate three mu of a Spirit Field—that\'s 15,000 jin! Moreover, such a small Spirit Gathering Array could operate for a long time, easily maintained for a hundred years!]

[You still had a thousand Spirit Stones in hand, so a yearly yield of 15 million jin was not a problem!]

[The real issue was that you didn\'t have enough Gathering Spirit Flowers. To cultivate one thousand mu of land, you\'d need at least three hundred stems of Gathering Spirit Flowers.]

[But you had already achieved your goal. Spirit Grains could be popularized among all humanity, forming a hundred-year plan, not to be rushed in an instant. Your only intention this time was to see if it was feasible to cultivate them in the real world.]

[Through these years, you had already planted Spirit Grains on the five hundred mu of wasteland in your Spirit Field Blessed Land. After six to seven years, you already had 30 million jin of Spirit Grains in your hands!]

[You took out this batch of Spirit Grains and selected under eighteen-year-olds with exceptional talent from all over the country, a total of one hundred thousand individuals!]

[These hundred thousand hadn\'t yet awakened their professions, just ordinary people, but you would supply each person with a hundred jin of Spirit Rice annually. You wanted to conduct a widespread experiment to see just how much help this Spirit Rice could provide ordinary people.]

[The remaining Spirit Rice, some you kept for your own consumption, while the rest were handed over to the Tarot Commerce Association for sale.]

[You set the price of the Spirit Rice at a hundred thousand per jin, a price that was not expensive, virtually no different from giving it away.]

[But you had one condition: those who bought the Spirit Rice must consume it themselves, and the buyer must have reached the limit of their current level, unable to advance before they could purchase it. Furthermore, they could only buy a maximum of twenty jin at a time.]

[Despite the strict rules you had set, nearly twenty million jin of Spirit Rice was snapped up in less than a month.]

[The buyers were mostly Bronze Peak professionals who had no hope of breaking through to the Silver Level.]

[There were also many Silver Peak professionals, who had no hope of breaking through to Gold.]

[The twenty million jin of Spirit Rice, in total, was sold to one million professionals. You instructed the Tarot Commerce Association to compile information on these people and planned to revisit them in a few months to survey the outcome, whether they had successfully advanced.]

[This was a monumental project, but you had sufficient resources and official support, understanding this endeavor was for the benefit of all humanity.]

[The first results came from that one million who bought Spirit Rice during their bottleneck periods.]

[In just half a year, your subordinates had collected all one million people\'s data, delivering it to your hands.]

[Among them, three hundred thousand of the six hundred thousand Bronze Level professionals had broken through to the Silver Level within a month after consuming ten jin of Spirit Rice, and 295,000 had broken through within half a year...]

[Taking into account the success rate of advancement, it was over 99%!]
