Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[Thus, you advised the Tiger Immortal to relocate the Tiger Immortal Stronghold, along with the Gold Coin Stronghold, to the vicinity of a Spirit Vein, forming a strategic mutual reinforcement to ward off dangers.]

[Upon hearing your suggestion, the Tiger Immortal hesitated. After all, the Tiger Immortal Stronghold had been established for a thousand years, and relocating it required considering a multitude of factors.]

[But you knew relocation was necessary. The location of the Spirit Vein was in the more central area of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. In case of an unexpected event, the Tiger Immortal Stronghold would not be the first to be attacked; the outermost demon kings would serve as natural barriers for the Tiger Immortal Stronghold.]

[Indeed, the purpose of this relocation was to guard against the Descending Sect.]

[However, you could not state this directly and could only use incentives.]

[You proposed that if the Tiger Immortal Stronghold were relocated, you could use the power of the Spirit Vein to set up formations, elevating the Tiger Immortal's cave to a top-tier Blessed Land level.]

[You even suggested that after a century, there was hope for it to reach a Cave Heaven level.]

[Hearing your proposal, the Tiger Immortal finally couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to your relocation plan.]

[In the thirty-fourth year, the Tiger Immortal Stronghold relocated. Hundreds of thousands of demon cultivators migrated to the vicinity of the new top-tier Spirit Vein, beginning the reconstruction of the Tiger Immortal Stronghold.]

[Under your guidance, the Tiger Immortal Stronghold was rebuilt even more sturdily, resembling a human fortress.]

[The Gold Coin Demon King, upon your suggestion, also relocated to the vicinity of the top-tier Spirit Vein, merely a thousand miles from the Tiger Immortal Stronghold, enabling swift reinforcement in times of crisis.]

[In the thirty-fifth year, the construction of the two demon strongholds was completed.]

[You assisted the Tiger Immortal in transplanting Gathering Spirit Flowers and setting up Spirit Arrays, making the spiritual energy in the core area barely reach the top-tier Blessed Land level.]

[You also helped the Gold Coin Demon King set up a Spirit Gathering Array, bringing the spiritual energy in his cave barely to a Blessed Land level.]

[With the protection of the two demon kings, you felt much more at ease and continued your diligent cultivation.]

"Not bad, a top-tier Spirit Vein located in the more central region of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains... other demon kings in the outer layer will serve as natural barriers, making things much more stable..."

"However, this place is still not entirely stable. If only I could persuade the two demon kings to ally with a Heavenly Immortal-level great demon, it might be much safer..."

Su Xing sighed but knew that the two demon kings would never agree.

His gaze returned to the simulation panel.

[In the thirty-eighth year, after reaching the late stage of the great achievement realm, fifth layer...]

[At the same time, the number of Sword Qi Barriers you comprehended reached five hundred and three!]

[You vaguely felt that the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras had no upper limit and would continue to increase with your comprehension of Sword Dao!]

[If your comprehension of Sword Dao is sufficient, you might even summon tens of thousands of Sword Qi at once, with the power to destroy heavens and earth!]

[In the thirty-ninth year, you presented five hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers to the Tiger Immortal, who was overjoyed and praised your loyalty.]

[Coincidentally, the Tiger Immortal had half of the Flesh Essence of a Human Immortal Realm demon cultivator, giving you hundreds of pounds of flesh essence.]

[You refined this flesh essence into Rebirth Pills, significantly increasing your cultivation speed.]

[In the forty-second year, your cultivation reached the peak of the fifth layer of the great achievement realm!]

[You started preparing to break through to the sixth layer of the great achievement realm!]

[In the forty-fifth year, after three years of accumulation and brewing, your cultivation finally broke through to the sixth layer of the great achievement realm naturally!]

[After the breakthrough, you felt quite pleased and began comprehending your Body-Protecting Sword Aura.]

[You felt countless Sword Intents flowing within the Sword Qi Barrier, capturing every subtle change.]

[Congratulations on triggering fortuitous enlightenment!]

[This fortuitous enlightenment lasted for three whole days!]

[Equivalent to thirty years of your usual hard cultivation!]

[After coming out of the state of fortuitous enlightenment, you felt a sense of loss.]

[But then you felt surprised because the number of Body-Protecting Sword Auras you had reached six hundred and sixty!]

[With the significant increase in your Body-Protecting Sword Aura, you were eager to test your newfound strength.]

[Thus, you sought out a Transcendence Tribulation Stage great demon within the stronghold for a spar.]

[You discovered that six hundred and sixty Sword Qi were enough to place you on par with Transcendence Tribulation demon cultivators in both defense and attack!]

[If you unleashed all your Sword Qi at once, it would be enough to seriously injure a Transcendence Tribulation demon cultivator!]

[However, for some who were infinitely close to ascension and possessed terrifying strength, you were still pressed on the ground and beaten...]

[Nonetheless, the significant increase in strength still filled you with joy.]

[Thus, two years passed...]

[In the forty-seventh year, one day, the Tiger Immortal and the Gold Coin Demon King met, their faces serious, as if discussing something important.]

[You suddenly recalled that in the previous simulation, two Heavenly Immortal-level great demons perished this year!]

[As expected, just as you predicted, the two demon kings were discussing taking advantage of the Heavenly Immortal demon's territory.]

[Because your status had risen over the decades, the two demon kings did not avoid you, even considering you the third most important person in the alliance, seeking your opinion.]

[With previous experience, you knew that this action would not result in any mishaps.]

[Still, you devised a strategy.]

[You proposed that to reap the benefits, swift action was necessary and that only easily portable resources such as Heaven and Earth Treasures, Spirit Stones, and Spiritual Liquid should be taken.]

[All other Spirit Veins and territories were to be left behind...]

[The two demon kings frowned slightly and asked for your reasoning, as in the minds of demon cultivators, larger territory represented greater power!]

[You patiently explained that in the coming chaotic times, having too large a territory would only stretch them thin, and it was better to seize practical benefits to enhance their cultivation.]
