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

From the initial Sword Dao talent to the Sword Dao prodigy, and even now, Su Xing had drawn a purple-quality Sword Maniac talent!

As the saying goes, "things come in threes," Su Xing was genuinely moved this time.

However, Su Xing was somewhat conflicted because he had no swordsmanship cultivation techniques or secret manuals. How could he practice swordsmanship?

It was at this moment that Su Xing noticed a sentence in the description of the talent... "On the ninth year of sword practice, you will comprehend the Thirteen Deadly Swords!"

"So, does this mean I can comprehend sword techniques on my own? If that\'s the case, then this talent is indeed indispensable!"

Su Xing\'s heart raced at the thought.

"As for whether I can comprehend a cultivation technique, why not try and find out?"

Su Xing turned his attention to the simulation panel.

[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you are in a simulation.]

[You feel a sudden intense interest in swords and take out a blue-quality sword-type weapon from your storage ring.]

[With a sword in hand, your heart swells with pride, believing you were born for the sword!]

[Thus, you begin to diligently practice swordsmanship!]

[This practice took three months!]

[During these three months, besides your daily alchemy, you devoted all your energy and focus to the Sword Dao.]

[You hadn\'t had much exposure to swords before, but you found it exceptionally easy to get started. In just three months, you swung your sword tens of thousands of times, mastering several basic swordsmanship techniques found online.]

[In a few short months, you had mastered the basics of sword techniques: strike, thrust, parry, and sweep, and began to grow dissatisfied, wanting to practice more advanced sword techniques.]

[Thus, you decided to head to the Luotian Meeting Instance in hopes of learning superior swordsmanship.]

Moved by what he saw, Su Xing silently said to himself:

"Activate immersive simulation function for two hours."

[Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, consuming 200,000 points of energy, simulating for 2 hours, remaining energy 15,503,888 points]

The prompt from the simulator rang in Su Xing\'s ear.

The next second, Su Xing\'s figure vanished from his spot and appeared inside the Luotian Meeting Instance.

It was the familiar task process; Su Xing took his Shennong uncle to meet the teacher.

During this time, Su Xing also asked Shennong uncle about swordsmanship, but as Shennong Youtian was a farmer, naturally, he knew nothing of it.

Therefore, Su Xing had no choice but to head to the library, seeking the Sword Dao that suited himself.

Soon, Su Xing discovered an ancient manual in the library that was on his target list—the "Compendium of Sword Cultivation".

Although the book\'s name was ordinary, it was one of the essential introductory books for sword cultivators. The reason was none other than it being authored by the world-renowned Sword Immortal, Lu Dong, from tens of thousands of years ago!

This compendium of Sword Cultivation covered all the basics of sword practice and could be said that as long as one fully grasped this compendium, learning any advanced swordsmanship would be effortless in the future.

Soon, Su Xing became engrossed in the cultivation within this compendium.

As two hours flew by and the immersive simulation time was about to end, Su Xing did not hesitate to choose to renew it.

[Ding, you have successfully used immersive simulation, consuming 2.2 million points of energy, simulating for 22 hours, remaining energy 13,303,888 points.]

With time now ample, Su Xing immersed himself completely in the compendium of Sword Cultivation.

From the initial incomprehension, to a vague understanding, then to a certain level of insight, Su Xing absorbed the swordsmanship knowledge from the compendium voraciously.

In continuous learning, Su Xing\'s comprehension of swordsmanship grew rapidly.

After an indeterminate amount of time, when Su Xing opened his eyes again, he was already back in the real world but paid no attention to this fact.

"Hiss~ When did I return to the real world... The immersive simulation ended, how come I didn\'t notice?"

Su Xing\'s eyes widened before he murmured in bewilderment:

"Could it be, I just entered a state of epiphany?"

As Su Xing digested the memories in his mind, he felt like he had instantly become a master of swordsmanship theory!

"So, it\'s because I possess the Sword Maniac talent and when immersed in the study of the Compendium of Sword Cultivation, I inadvertently triggered the epiphany... That\'s the reason for such progress?"

Su Xing found it hard to believe. Such a coincidence had actually happened to him, triggering the talent for epiphany during immersive simulation.

Considering that a day of epiphany could equate to ten years of cultivation, Su Xing would at least be equivalent to a master who had immersed himself in the study of swordsmanship theory for a decade!

"Tsk tsk, I really got lucky... The swordsmanship knowledge in my mind should be enough for me to digest for a long time, right?"

Closing his eyes and recalling, the Compendium of Sword Cultivation divided the ordinary sword into three parts: human, earth, heaven—three swords!

With the Human Sword mastered, one could slay any enemy in the world; there would be no one who could not be killed.

The Earth Sword drew upon the momentum of heaven and earth to form a Sword of Creation, one strike could change celestial phenomena, cause mountains to collapse, or tsunamis to arise.

The final stage, the Heavenly Sword, once mastered, would provide direct access to the Dao of the Sword Immortal.

During the immersive simulation, Su Xing had studied the Sword Compendium for one day and triggered an epiphany, equivalent to studying the Compendium of Sword Cultivation for ten years, having barely finished reading the vast first part.

After that, Su Xing also withdrew from the immersive simulation.

However, the practice of just the first part, the Human Sword, was enough for Su Xing to digest for a long time.

"If I can perfect my Human Sword cultivation, I might really be able to contest Divinity Transformation with my Nascent Soul, right?"

Shock colored Su Xing\'s face, tinged with a hint of expectation.

Which youth hasn\'t dreamed of becoming a sword immortal, clad in white, wielding an immortal sword, standing alone above the world?

Even Su Xing was no exception.

Thinking this, Su Xing\'s face flushed with eagerness, itching to begin simulations.

[You emerged from the Luotian Meeting Instance, eager to practice your swordsmanship.]

[Thus, you spent six hours daily practicing the most fundamental sword techniques, integrating them into your understanding.]

[Three months later, Wang Qingxuan found you.]

[Reluctantly suspending your sword training, you joined the Descending Sect with Wang Qingxuan after one night.]

[Within the sect, you displayed extraordinary strength and impressive alchemy skills, and successfully joined Luo Shuying\'s faction as you wished.]

[The next day, you spoke the secret phrase to Luo Shuying and earned her trust.]

[Luo Shuying helped you obtain many medicinal ingredients, which you spent two hours a day refining. With the rest of your time, you chose to cultivate.]

[In the second year, you became the eighteenth elder of the Descending Sect, known by the codename \'Elder Medicine.\']

[You devoted more thought to the practice of swordsmanship, rapidly enhancing your combat abilities.]

[You did not choose to re-enter the Luotian Meeting Instance because the knowledge of the Sword Dao in your mind alone was enough for prolonged cultivation.]

[In the third year, you and Luo Shuying defected from the Descending Sect, taking with you most of the sect\'s treasured inventory.]

[Several protectors and elders of the Descending Sect pursued you to no avail, as you had already allied with the Great Xia Military, ultimately turning the tables and slaying the elders and protectors sent after you.]

[In the fourth year, with ample Spiritual Energy and the daily ingestion of Dragon Spirit Pills, your cultivation level rapidly rose, and you became a second-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.]

[That same year, through daily physical tempering and swordsmanship training, supplemented by abundant Flesh Essence and Origin Martial Pills, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level soared to the eighth level of the Origin Martial Realm!]

[In the fifth year, you concocted Soul Condensing Pills and gifted the finished pills to Luo Shuying, significantly enhancing the Spirit Race\'s strength.]

[That same year, Luo Shuying ascended to become a Legendary Level expert.]

[In the sixth year, you continued to ensure two hours of daily sword practice, but shifted more focus to your cultivation and alchemy.]

[This year, you exhausted the medicinal ingredients you had accumulated, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level and several hundred Heavenly King Level experts to Great Xia Country.]

Seeing this, Su Xing nodded his head in agreement but kept pondering deeply.

"Six years have passed and there is no more pressure to refine elixirs, so what should I do next, continue sword training, or elevate my cultivation level?"

Su Xing was not clear about the difficulty of mastering this comprehensive Sword Dao, but judging from the fact that one could become an Immortal once it was mastered, the difficulty was certainly daunting.

He had no idea how much time was needed to master the first part of this Sword Dao, the Human Sword!

The uncertainty of time investment made Su Xing hesitate, but the thought of the significant increase in power once Human Sword was mastered reaffirmed his determination.

"I still have to train in swordsmanship! But I need to divide the risk. Four hours a day is enough, I can try to improve my cultivation level with the remaining time. That way, even if I can\'t become skilled in swordsmanship, I can still gain enough cultivation level to not be at a loss."

Meanwhile, Su Xing harbored a sliver of hope that perhaps, just perhaps, he might have another epiphany during his sword training, which would be a huge win.

With this mindset, Su Xing continued his simulations.

[In the seventh year, you still spent four hours a day practicing swordsmanship, but in addition, you began attempting to concoct Divine Strength Pills.]

[You cut a section of the Divine Strength Vine grown in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, meticulously ground it into powder for the medicine, and then took out the remaining ingredients for the Divine Strength Pill. After preparations were complete, you began the concoction process.]

[Since you had a limited supply of Divine Strength Vine, you estimated you could at most concoct five hundred batches of Divine Strength Pills, so you cherished every opportunity for alchemy.]

[In the first month, you attempted to concoct one batch of Divine Strength Pills each day. Thirty attempts that month all resulted in failure, indicating the difficulty of concocting Divine Strength Pills was greater than you anticipated.]

[In the second month, you still attempted thirty batches of Divine Strength Pills, with zero success - a hundred percent failure rate.]

[The third month…]

[The fourth month…]

[In the eighth year, after a year of attempting to concoct Divine Strength Pills, you nearly used up all five strands of the Divine Strength Vine but never managed to concoct a single successful batch. And on your skill panel, the status of your Divine Strength Pill concoction skills remained at the uninitiated level.]

[You knew that this was because the difficulty of concocting Divine Strength Pills far exceeded your current capabilities; under normal circumstances, you could not succeed at all, unless you entered an epiphanic state!]

[Looking at the remaining half strand of Divine Strength Vine in your hand, you hoped to trigger an epiphany and succeed in the concoction.]

[Over a month later, predictably, you failed again. You didn\'t enter an epiphany, and the Divine Strength Vine was all consumed.]

Su Xing\'s eyes widened at this revelation, then he sighed and said,

"As expected, concocting Divine Strength Pills is harder than I\'d imagined. It seems I can\'t succeed by ordinary means…"

"In that case, I\'ll just have to leave it to luck..."

Su Xing\'s plan was to continue attempting to concoct Divine Strength Pills in every simulation, and to slow down the process, for instance, taking four hours for each batch.

This way, Su Xing would have more time spent concocting Divine Strength Pills, increasing the chances of triggering an epiphany!

In several, or even dozens of simulations, Su Xing was sure to succeed once, at which point he could consume the Divine Strength Pills.

Of course, this was just Su Xing\'s idea. Whether it could successfully be implemented still depended on luck.

"But before that, reaching the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm is a must!"

Su Xing muttered to himself.
