[Fortunately, your deep understanding of the Dao of Space allowed you not to get lost in this space labyrinth...]
[Finally, after spending several days, you reached the end of the space labyrinth!]
[You saw the corpse of a Void Beast...]
[The body of the Void Beast remained intact, looking somewhat like a small dog but the size of a person...]
[Beside the Void Beast, you found a few stones shining with white light, precisely the Space Spirit Stones you needed!]
[Ecstatic, you quickly reached out to grab the Space Spirit Stones.]
[Just as you stored the Void Beast, you felt several powerful auras quickly approaching.]
[Two Demon Kings at the late Earth Immortal Realm, along with three Human Clan Cultivators at the same level, arrived simultaneously!]
[They looked at you with a mix of surprise and disbelief, noting that a mere Human Immortal Realm cultivator had gotten here first.]
[Seeing the five Earth Immortal cultivators, you frowned deeply. It was already difficult to contend with one, let alone five.]
[After a moment of silence, you pointed at the Void Beast's corpse, expressing your willingness to give it up, only wishing to leave.]
[Upon hearing your words, the two Demon Kings nodded in agreement, given that there were more human cultivators present.]
[However, a Human Clan Cultivator hidden under a black robe revealed a sinister smile.]
[He said, "The Void Beast accompanies precious Space Spirit Stones, which are not something a small Human Immortal Realm cultivator like you can covet..."]
[Squinting your eyes after hearing him, you hesitated for a moment and handed over a single Space Spirit Stone.]
[This time, you acquired four Space Spirit Stones; to ensure successful artifact refining, you needed to keep at least three...]
[However, the black-robed cultivator seemed unscrupulous, aggressively demanding that you hand over more, suggesting a search of your Storage Magical Artifact...]
[Naturally, you refused, but the Human Clan Cultivator stepped forward, appearing ready to forcefully take action...]
[In this situation, you seemingly gave up resistance, humbly taking out the only three Space Spirit Stones and throwing them toward the black-robed cultivator.]
[A flash of greed appeared in the black-robed cultivator's eyes... He reached out as if to grab the stones.]
[At that moment, you released your Body-Protecting Sword Aura, unleashing sixteen hundred strands of Sword Qi Barrier towards the black-robed cultivator with Unethical in Martial Conduct!]
[This was your peak strike!]
[With this blow, even a late Earth Immortal Realm cultivator would be gravely injured!]
[Caught off guard, the black-robed cultivator didn't expect a mere Human Immortal Realm cultivator to attack...]
[But he reacted quickly upon seeing the Sword Qi, swiftly releasing his Spirit Domain, forming distorted space around his body.]
[He was surprisingly an Earth Immortal cultivator who comprehended the Great Dao of Space and integrated it into his Spirit Domain!]
[However, his response was half a beat too slow...]
[His extended left arm was instantly severed, and he suffered multiple severe wounds, bleeding profusely, his combat power greatly diminished...]
[Having severely injured an Earth Immortal cultivator in one strike, you quickly retrieved the four Space Spirit Stones, wielding the Ink Ice Sword, and watched the surrounding cultivators with vigilance.]
[You pointed to the Void Beast's corpse, indicating you wouldn't compete for it, and only desired the Space Spirit Stones.]
[Seeing your strength capable of severely injuring an Earth Immortal cultivator, they dared not underestimate you and immediately allowed you to leave at any time.]
[You nodded slightly, maintained your aura, and swiftly exited the Void Secret Realm, returning to White Emperor City...]
[You memorized the labyrinth's map within the secret realm and drew a map.]
In the real world, Su Xing felt a tremor in his heart upon seeing this.
"Tsk tsk... Cultivation World is truly like licking blood from the blade's edge!"
"Absolute strength... is the only thing that grants the right to speak!"
Su Xing sighed, this time's secret realm exploration, involving killing and treasure seizing, had broadened his horizons significantly.
"It's a pity about the Void Beast's corpse... I might need to reach the Earth Immortal Realm before I can confidently face five late Earth Immortal Realm cultivators simultaneously and claim the corpse?"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, but obtaining the Space Spirit Stones this time had already fulfilled his needs.
"Let me memorize all the information and the map of this secret realm, to facilitate future raids!"
"Using immersive simulation..."
Su Xing's consciousness entered the simulated world again, returning with additional memories of the secret realm in his mind.
He looked back at the simulation panel.
[After leaving the Void Secret Realm, you cultivated in White Emperor City. In the blink of an eye, eight years passed.]
[In the seventy-fifth year, your Grand Witch Body Refining Decision advanced further, your strength reaching the power of nine thousand nine hundred mountains, just one step away from the first layer's perfection.]
[In the eightieth year, one day, as the sun rose and the first wisp of purple qi entered your body, your mind state and comprehension significantly changed.]
[You felt an inexplicable lightness throughout your body, your cultivation speed increased by more than tenfold within just one hour!]
[One hour of cultivation equaled a day of diligent practice!]
[You finally stepped into the first layer of Zhengyi Submission Decision, able to consume the Qi of the Twelve Hours!]
[Training for one hour a day now equaled an entire day of common cultivation!]
[Of course, the Zhengyi Submission Decision only had effect for that single hour each day...]
In the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath, showing a satisfied expression.
"Not bad... Eighty years of hard cultivation, plus the previous two months of immersive simulation... Equivalent to a hundred years of hard work, finally entering the first layer!"
"Unfortunately, the first layer of Zhengyi Submission Decision's significance doesn't lie in improving cultivation speed... but in saving time!"
