Chapter 215: Chapter 155: Remuneration for the Takeaway, Su Xing’s Heart for Seeking the Dao! (5k)
[You were greatly shocked in your heart. The physical strength of this puppet probably was not weaker than that of a Broken Void Realm cultivator!]
[Your sword qi almost did no harm to it, and the puppet reached you in a breath’s time, launching a punch at you!]
[Seeing this, you immediately wrapped your vital energy around both fists to block it.]
[The fists collided, and you were sent flying, crashing into the stone wall with blood trickling from your mouth.]
[You found it incredible that the puppet’s pure physical strength was superior to yours, and its body’s toughness was unimaginably greater than yours.]
[You were sure in your heart that this was a puppet comparable to a Broken Void Realm cultivator!]
[After being sent flying from a punch, you used the faint light emanating from the wall to clearly see the puppet’s appearance.]
[Its appearance was identical to a human, but its skin was unusually pale, like a vampire from Western legends. The skin’s withering wrinkles made it extremely creepy.]
[This seemed like a living dead, refined into a powerful puppet by someone.]
[While you were contemplating, the puppet once again charged at you to kill.]
[After several dozen rounds of fierce fighting, you had many injuries on your body.]
[The puppet’s attacks became increasingly fierce, and the immense force emanating from its body was almost unbearable for you.]
[Your battle caused mystical fluctuations to continuously ripple across the surrounding stone walls, which seemed to be some defensive formation, possibly to prevent the collapse of this ancient tomb.]
[You persisted for another dozen rounds, barely able to resist, as the living dead puppet’s strength was vastly superior to that of Zong Laogou.]
[Realizing that you were no match for it, you decided to leave the relic.]
[However, the living dead puppet relentlessly pursued you. After several more rounds of combat, your physical body disintegrated, smashed into a pulp.]
[Your primordial spirit emerged, intending to continue fleeing. However, the living dead puppet simply extended its right hand and captured your primordial spirit.]
[Stuffing it into its mouth, you felt a huge suction force devouring your primordial spirit.]
[Ding, the simulation has ended for this time!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing looked at the text in front of him, silent for a long time.
“As expected from a major sect that once produced immortals… Even a single puppet holds power comparable to the Broken Void Realm, huh?”
Su Xing was somewhat relieved that he had not chosen to directly enter the relic earlier, or else he would have suffered a loss at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Now that the 25-year simulation period was exhausted, even dying was not a loss.
Su Xing touched his chin, murmuring,
“This puppet must be the guardian puppet of the ancient tomb relic, right? Who exactly is the owner of this ancient tomb relic to have a guardian puppet strong enough to rival a Broken Void Realm cultivator?”
“Hiss… At least it must be a Return to Void Realm Great Perfection, perhaps even an Integration Phase cultivator?”
Su Xing sighed lightly, saying to himself,
“It’s a pity that with my current strength, I can only hold out for a few dozen rounds against a Broken Void Realm expert…”
“To defeat this puppet, I’ll probably need to cultivate to the Broken Void Realm to have a chance!”
“However, there must be a great secret hidden within this ancient tomb relic. If I reach the Broken Void Realm, perhaps I can visit the ancient tomb again!”
Su Xing carefully recalled the events that took place during the simulation, jotting down a few key points.
“First, this ancient tomb relic is definitely not a simple resting place for a cultivator. Otherwise, thousands of years ago, there wouldn’t have been Broken Void and Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator deaths.”
“Second, there is faint spiritual energy within the ancient tomb, possibly due to a Gathering Spirit Flower, or maybe a spirit vein! However… I am more inclined to believe it is the latter!”
“Lastly, and most importantly, what is the identity of the tomb owner? Could the Heavenly Grade Technique Wanmu Decision possibly be on the tomb owner?”
Thinking of this, Su Xing took a deep breath.
Whether it was the advanced cultivation technique Wanmu Decision of the Changchun Technique or the spirit vein within the tomb, both were immensely alluring to Su Xing!
Once he was strong enough, he must visit it again!
“It’s a pity that my origin force hasn’t advanced to the Third Layer, and stepping into the Broken Void Realm is still a distant goal…”
“For now, it’s better to take one step at a time and focus on the matters at hand!”
Su Xing sighed, a hint of anticipation in his gaze as he looked at the simulation panel.

This time, Su Xing had gained plenty from the simulation.
Not only did he make great progress in his Qi Refining cultivation, but he also newly explored the Immortal Martial Era Instance and found the path he would follow to reach the Broken Void Realm in the future.
“So, with all these rewards, which ones should I choose?”
Su Xing pondered over the rewards before him.
Although the Artifact Refining Prodigy Talent was good, Su Xing currently had no plans to refine artifacts, nor did he have any artifact refining manuals.
