Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[Afterwards, the Gu Insect bared its teeth and growled at you, seemingly eager to feast on your flesh.]

[But after you scorched it with your fire Spiritual Energy, the Gu Insect instantly became docile.]

[Then, you examined the Gu Insect carefully.]

[Under the perception of your Divine Sense, within the thumb-sized body of the Gu Insect, a tremendous amount of energy was hidden.]

[This energy shared the same origin as the one you had sensed from the body of a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, yet it seemed to contain less resentment and Karma, and the energy was even purer.]

[Feeling somewhat uncertain, you took out a jade bottle and enclosed the Gu Insect inside.]

In the real world, Su Xing looked thoughtfully at the simulation text before him.

The lines of text contained an enormous amount of information.

"Cultivators take Blood Pills to improve their Cultivation Level, able to practice to the Nascent Soul Stage in just a hundred years... not even two hundred years to achieve Divinity Transformation!"

"Hiss~ Who exactly is this Blood Immortal? To think he created such a heaven-defying technique!"

In Su Xing's view, the cultivation methods of the Blood Demon Sect had clearly formed a system.

They have specialized Cultivation Techniques, the Blood Immortal Scripture!

And there were specialized cultivation resources, like the fist-sized Blood Pill from before!

"Ordinary cultivators, if they could reach Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm in a hundred years, would already be considered exceptionally talented..."

"Golden Core Nascent Soul Realm... even for those with good aptitude, it would require three to five hundred years!"

"Not to mention Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators... those who have practiced for a thousand years without breaking through, ultimately turning to dust, are not few in number..."

Pausing for a moment, Su Xing muttered to himself:

"Yet the cultivators of this Blood Demon Sect's copy can achieve Divinity Transformation in less than two hundred years... Although they can only live for two hundred years in the Divinity Transformation Stage..."

"But that's essentially trading lifespan for Cultivation Level... Ordinary people can only live eighty years, whereas Divinity Transformation cultivators can live two hundred years."

"So, it doesn't seem like a bad deal after all, though I wonder if there are any other side effects for the cultivators of this world besides the short lifespan?"

Su Xing closed his eyes and pondered.

"There's also this Gu Insect... though it has some spiritual intelligence, it seems impossible to communicate with and appears to be nothing more than a savage creature. The person raising it, using cultivator's essence blood and lifespan as one, harbors no small ambitions!"

Su Xing sighed lightly and finally said:

"Aside from that, my visit to the Blood Demon Sect's lair revealed another weakness of mine."

"Even though my Cultivation Level is strong, I lack knowledge of the Soul Searching Technique, this basic Spell... it seems I need to attempt to practice it when I have the time."

Su Xing had obtained the legacy of that damned Zong, which included techniques akin to the Soul Searching Technique and the Blood-Consuming Technique.

Though they came with some side effects and were somewhat malicious, they still fell short of true evil cultivation techniques.

Learning them could certainly enhance Su Xing's own methods several times over.

"With my current Cultivation Level, practicing these basic techniques should be much simpler..."

"Later, in the simulation, I can spend some energy to engage in immersive learning!"

"But for now, I should continue exploring the Blood Demon Sect!"

With that thought, Su Xing's gaze shifted to the simulation panel.

[After dealing with the Gu Insect, you released your Divine Sense, preparing to head towards the Blood Demon Sect.]

[The Blood Demon Sect was thousands of kilometers away from where you were, but with your current speed, you could reach there in less than half an hour using Sword Flight.]

[When you arrived at the Blood Demon Sect, you found that the entire sect had formed a Defensive Array to meet the enemy, with tens of thousands of cultivators guarding the mountain gates, and countless Divine Senses sweeping towards you.]

[A blood-red light screen enveloped the entire Blood Demon Sect.]

[With your knowledge in Formation, you instantly recognized it as at least a mid-level compound Defensive Array! Its might was even comparable to the Defensive Array you had encountered in the Five Elements Sect.]

[With a tip of your toe, the Ink Ice Sword landed in your hand, sustained by Spiritual Power, as you stood high in the sky.]

[Your robe fluttering in the wind, a thought crossed your mind, and a Sword Qi cut through the air!]

[The Sword Qi stretched endlessly, sweeping across the sky like a lone shadow, and fiercely collided with the blood-red light screen.]

[With a single strike, the Blood Demon Sect's Defensive Array fractured like a spiderweb, on the brink of complete shattering.]

[Seeing that your single strike almost annihilated their sect's defense, the cultivators of the entire sect plunged into chaos.]

[Some cultivators urged you to leave quickly, while others threatened you.]

[But you merely scoffed, for your purpose in coming here was to test the depth and strength of the Blood Demon Sect.]

[You adjusted your breathing and once again slashed with a sword light that streaked across the sky.]

[With that slash, the Blood Demon Sect's Protective Array finally could not hold on, the blood-colored light screen turning into a rain of blood, shattering layer by layer.]

[Seeing their Protective Array broken, the cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect could no longer remain calm and hurriedly called their fellow cultivators to rush towards you.]

[In an instant, blades and swords flashed, Spiritual Power and Magic Artifacts... various offensive methods pelted towards you like rain.]

[But you simply smiled faintly, casually erecting your Protective Gang Qi, keeping all these attacks at bay.]

[Then, your Divine Sense swept over all the cultivators on the ground, noting that they were mostly at the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core Stage, with a much smaller number of cultivators above the Nascent Soul.]

[Cultivators of such realms could hardly withstand even a casual strike from you.]

[After a moment's thought, you sheathed the Ink Ice Sword and gathered terrifying Spiritual Power in your palm, continually compressing it.]

[You used up one-third of your Spiritual Power to create a wood-attribute whirlwind and then injected a strand of fire Spiritual Energy into it.]

[For these lower-level cultivators, it was completely impossible to withstand the Spirit Explosion Technique.]

[Compared to swordsmanship, the Spirit Explosion Technique had a wider attack range and was better suited for clearing out these lower-level cultivators.]
