[You made some progress in your understanding of the Zhengyi Submission Decision.]
[Time flew by, and another ten years passed...]
[In the sixtieth year, you slightly improved your understanding of the second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision.]
[You mastered sixteen methods of Consuming Qi during special days, allowing your cultivation speed during those days to be twenty times faster than usual...]
[This year, you went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in White Emperor City to purchase intelligence on the frontline situation.]
[As you expected, the situation at the frontline was dire with the initial appearance of the red-eyed foreign race.]
[You stayed in the inner city of White Emperor City for a day, sold the intelligence about the possible ambush on Heavenly Immortals, and then returned to your cave to cultivate...]
Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.
"Not bad... If the situation continues , this simulation could last at least a few more years!"
"As for this Zhengyi Submission Decision, I wonder if I can master the second layer in this simulation?"
Su Xing felt a bit worried.
The Zhengyi Submission Decision had three layers, each more difficult than the last.
The first layer could be cultivated daily and was not slow, yet Su Xing took one hundred and twenty years to master it.
The second layer could also be cultivated daily, but the speed was slow. Only on special days could the cultivation speed increase.
Moreover, the second layer was the most complex, requiring twenty-four different methods of Consuming Qi for the twenty-four special days!
For example, during the Great Heat day, one needed to find a particularly hot place to consume Qi to achieve optimal results.
Fortunately, Su Xing could set up formations to simulate different environments of the special days, making it less troublesome.
"At this rate, completing the second layer will take at least two to three hundred years!"
"Now, I can only hope for enlightenment!"
Su Xing sighed and looked at the simulation panel.
[After selling the intelligence, you returned to your cave to cultivate, and another ten years passed.]
[In the seventieth year, your cultivation reached the mid-stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm, and the Zhengyi Submission Decision slightly improved.]
[This year, you planned to join the army in the Heavenly Demon City for safer cultivation.]
[You took a flying ship to the Heavenly Demon City and demonstrated your ability as an eleventh-tier formation grandmaster.]
[You were incorporated into the logistics army of the Heavenly Demon City, gaining some safety. Besides setting up formations, you had plenty of spare time to cultivate.]
[Thus, another seven years passed.]
[In the seventy-seventh year, you were promoted to a Ten Thousand Commander.]
[In the same April, you turned one hundred years old and officially triggered the Great Talent Maturing Late.]
[After triggering this talent, you were surprised to find that the improvement in cultivation speed affected not only your cultivation level but also doubled your speed in comprehending divine skills and techniques!]
[You were delighted and started cultivating harder.]
[Thus, another thirteen years passed...]
[In the ninetieth year, you reached the late stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm!]
[In the same year, your mastery of the Zhengyi Submission Decision further improved, allowing you to increase your cultivation speed by twenty times on twenty special days.]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and showed a look of delight.
"The Great Talent Maturing Late... it can also enhance the cultivation of divine skills and techniques?"
Su Xing opened the simulation panel and carefully examined the description of the Great Talent Maturing Late.
Great Talent Maturing Late: Automatically takes effect when your age exceeds one hundred years, doubling your cultivation speed on the current basis!
"That's right! It's cultivation speed... not necessarily Qi Refinement!"
"To be precise, Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, and divine skills all count as cultivation!"
This talent's importance increased further in Su Xing's eyes!
"Damn, the importance of this talent is no less than that of a golden-quality talent!"
Su Xing looked excited. Seeing it this way, the duration of the simulation became even more important!
He looked at the simulation panel again.
[You cultivated in the Heavenly Demon City for decades while keeping an eye on the frontline war.]
[As expected, although the human race was at a disadvantage on the frontline, the situation was not yet critical.]
[But if the current situation continued, it would deteriorate significantly within the next twenty years.]
[So you seized the time and cultivated even harder...]
[Thus, another ten years passed.]
[In the hundredth year, one day, while cultivating the Zhengyi Submission Decision, you entered a mysterious state.]
[You gained new insights into the twenty-four special days, feeling a hint of reincarnation and the Path of Time in the changes of the special days...]
[Congratulations! You triggered an accidental enlightenment!]
[This enlightenment lasted for a full seven days...]
[Seven days of enlightenment equated to seventy years of hard cultivation!]
[When you came out of the enlightenment state, you felt a sense of loss.]
[But then you were pleasantly surprised to find that you had mastered twenty-three methods of Consuming Qi for the special days, and your efficiency had reached twenty-nine times!]
[You were just one step away from fully mastering the second layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision with only the Spring Equinox day remaining.]
[Overjoyed, you seized the time to cultivate even more.]
[However, that year, the situation at the frontline became extremely dire, with frequent deaths of Earth Immortal cultivators.]
[Fortunately, you stayed in the Heavenly Demon City and did not go to the frontline.]
[Even so, you did not dare to be complacent.]
[You knew that the Red Moon might already know your whereabouts, and if you fought on the frontline, you could be captured.]
[Additionally, Blood Three from the Descending Sect might be hunting for you outside...]
[So, you stayed in the Heavenly Demon City and seized the last bit of time to cultivate.]
[Thus, eight years passed...]
[In the one hundred and eighth year, your cultivation reached the late stage of the second layer of the Human Immortal Realm.]
[You also successfully mastered the method of Consuming Qi on the Spring Equinox day, the last one.]
[The only regret was that your efficiency in consuming Qi stayed at twenty-nine times, not reaching the perfect level of one day's cultivation equal to a month's hard cultivation.]
