Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[However, Blood Four, after all, is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and that terrifying Blood River continuously reduces and devours the sword intent, serving both offense and defense, protecting Blood Four!]

[But after your breakthrough in strength, you are no longer comparable to a Golden Immortal... For a while, the battle is at a standoff.]

[In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed...]

[Just as you expected, Blood Four, after all, is just a newcomer to Taiyi Golden Immortal, with only five paths reaching the Sixth Realm.]

[His strongest is merely a minor achievement in the Sixth Realm's "Great Dao of Blood"!]

[Though his mana is stronger than yours, his physical body is even inferior to yours... This allows you not to be at an absolute disadvantage in battle.]

[Plus, with the Ink Ice Sword that ascended to an Innate Treasure, you manage to not fall behind in the battle.]

[And as the battle continues, Blood Four notices something amiss...]

[He has never encountered a Golden Immortal as troublesome as you, feeling vaguely panicked within.]

[He knows well that with the strength you have shown, you could likely rank first on the Earth Ranking!]

[And as the first on the Earth Ranking, as long as you do not fall, you will undoubtedly achieve Daluo Golden Immortal in the future...]

[This realization reinforces Blood Four's determination to kill you...]

[But as the battle progresses, Blood Four notices another anomaly... His lifespan is rapidly decreasing!]

[Cultivating the Blood Immortal Scripture already consumes lifespan, and his actual lifespan is even less than half of a normal Taiyi Golden Immortal.]

[And after merely a month battling you, his lifespan inexplicably drops by nearly thirty thousand years!]

[This makes Blood Four deeply heartache, yet he grits his teeth, still wanting to kill you...]

[Thus, another three months go by!]

[Finally, the battle lasts a full four months!]

[Throughout these four months, you were wounded heavily several times, but relying on astounding recovery power, you heal your injuries.]

[Although you were suppressed by Blood Four throughout, you didn't fall into a life-and-death situation.]

[Instead, in this battle, Blood Four even loses more than a hundred thousand years of lifespan!]

[Finally, Blood Four panics!]

[After ascending to Taiyi, he painstakingly gained millions of years of lifespan... but here, he lost a hundred thousand years; how can he accept this?]

[He knows that if he continues fighting like this... he'll likely perish from exhaustion of lifespan!]

[Hence... Blood Four finally engaged in a great strike...]

[A horrifying Blood River cloaks the entire space... The overwhelming sight of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood causes your sanity to gradually dissipate.]

[This is the strongest technique of Underworld Blood River, gathering all the killing aura and dao of blood, forming a terrifying attack...]

[Any cultivator swallowed by the Blood River becomes part of it...]

[Indeed, under this move, you have no room for resistance.]

[Yet at the last moment, you use the talent "Another Shot," successfully escaping just before dying!]

[Conversely, Blood Four, seeing you escape from the Blood River unharmed, becomes thoroughly panicked...]

[Without a moment's hesitation, Blood Four flees this void...]

[You, seeing this, don't pursue... Instead, feeling a sense of relief within.]

[Fortunately, it was Blood Four using this move; if it were the stronger Blood Three, the terrifying aura likely wouldn't have given you the chance to react, nor the opportunity to use your talent.]

[Blood Four merely misestimated your strength, coupled with his severe loss of lifespan, thus retreating.]

[Even if you pursue, there's no certainty that you can hold him down.]

[You stay where you are, expand your divine sense, and quickly notice several conscious observers in the distance.]

[The grand spectacle of this battle draws the attention of several Golden Immortal cultivators.]

[Several Golden Immortals recognize Blood Four's identity... But as for you, who has been inconspicuous all along yet suddenly unleashes power comparable to Taiyi Golden Immortal, it is truly terrifying!]

[Before you leave, several divine senses come forth, inquiring about your title.]

[Hearing this, you pause in silence for a moment, then leave behind the title of Spiritual Dragon Golden Immortal...]

In the real world, Su Xing sees this, and the corners of his mouth can't help but curl upwards.

"A respectable Taiyi Golden Immortal... Blood Four was actually forced back by me?"

"Taiyi Golden Immortal... Seems hardly significant after all!"

Although in the battle with Blood Four, Su Xing did have a certain amount of luck.

Not only did the Ink Ice Sword counter cultivators of the Blood Immortal Scripture, reducing their lifespan.

He also startled Blood Four with the talent "Another Shot."

Yet battling Blood Four for four months without retreating is indeed solid proof!

This demonstrates that Su Xing now truly possesses the strength to fight a Taiyi Golden Immortal of the initial stage without defeat!

After pondering for a while, Su Xing roughly assesses his strength.

"Currently, my strength is approximately equivalent to a cultivator newly entered into Taiyi Golden Immortal not long ago."

"Among Taiyi Golden Immortals, definitely falling into the weakest tier..."

"But even so, for an initial stage Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivator, unless a certain price is paid, they absolutely cannot threaten my life!"

"Only mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal and above cultivators pose a significant threat to me!"

"In other words... Right now, maybe even Blood Three might engage in a few moves with me? At least I can last several days at his hands, right?"

Su Xing nods slightly.

First in the Earth Ranking, this is indeed his current strength!

Only the previous Immortal Ziling might surpass Su Xing by a margin.

But Tang Yi Yi should not be as strong as him.

Yet as Su Xing continues to elevate his realm, as long as he doesn't ascend to Taiyi Golden Immortal, he'll surely secure the top spot on the Earth Ranking!

He might even break the ceiling of combat power for the first in the Earth Ranking!

"Moreover, the goal this time is achieved... After this battle, the name Spiritual Dragon Golden Immortal will resound throughout the Three Thousand Worlds!"

"And I... Will ascend to the top spot in the Earth Ranking!"

Su Xing is merely a bit curious.

The Genius Ranking was established by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

However, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master hasn't shown up for countless years, and the main body is in the Nine Heavens Domain.

How should Su Xing find the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master?

Thus obtaining the promise of first in the Earth Ranking?

"Doesn't matter... I naturally don't know the might of a Semi-Saint..."

"Maybe the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master has a way?"

Su Xing holds anticipation in his heart, gazing at the simulation panel.

[After driving off Blood Four, you didn't linger for long in the original spot.]

[If Blood Four comes to his senses later and pursues you, there'd be little chance of survival...]

[Hence, under the identity of Spiritual Dragon Golden Immortal, you leave the vicinity of the Star Realm and appear in the Little Qingyun Realm.]

[Soon after... A woman finds you!]

[This woman you know... The vice pavilion master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in Little Qingyun Realm... That girl who seems remarkably lazy!]

[The girl clearly knows your identity and informs you that the news of first in the Earth Ranking will soon spread across the Three Thousand Worlds...]

[Simultaneously, she also asks if you wish to meet the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master... The Pavilion Master will answer one question of yours, whether it is about cultivation or anything else...]

[You naturally agree after listening, readily consenting.]

[Hence, the girl tells you... To find the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, you must go to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Headquarters in the Heavenly Secrets Domain.]

[You nod in agreement despite feeling puzzled after hearing this...]

[At the same time, you inform her of Red Moon's news, emphasizing repeatedly not to approach Blue Star.]

[With your status as Spiritual Dragon Golden Immortal, it naturally convinces Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and they express that they'll deal with it promptly.]

[Following that, you don't rush to the Heavenly Secrets Domain... Before that, you need to go through a process.]

[Seeking Luo Tian Legacy... Heading to Qingyun Realm for trade... Communicating with Immortal Ziling and gifting cultivation insights.]

[After completing the entire process, the time reaches the simulation's twentieth year.]

[You proceed to the Heavenly Secrets Realm.]

[In the thirtieth year, you arrive at the Heavenly Secrets Realm, yet don't rush to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, instead calmly waiting in Baiyun Realm.]

[You are aware that two hundred years later, the Immortal Boat will descend upon this realm.]

[In the next two hundred years, you cultivate the Tianyuan Divine Tree... practice the Zhengyi Submission Decision...]

[Days pass by quickly, and soon the time reaches the simulation... Three hundred years!]
