Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Sword shadows intertwined with scorpion shadows, each collision sounding like thunderous explosions, making the entire Yellow Sand Hall tremble.

The battle lasted for hundreds of rounds, with Su Xing’s figure flickering in and out of visibility within the sandstorm. His sword danced faster and faster, revealing his initial understanding of the realm of Sword Dao, each strike seemingly pinpointing the scorpion’s weaknesses.

Finally, Su Xing unleashed a thousand strands of Body-Protecting Sword Aura, piercing through the gaps in the Yellow Sand Scorpion’s exoskeleton, directly targeting its vital points.

With a piercing scream, the formidable Yellow Sand Scorpion finally fell, its flesh instantly turning into a mound of sand grains, leaving only its shell behind.

After killing the first Yellow Sand Scorpion, Su Xing remained vigilant, constantly scanning the grand hall with his Divine Sense.

However, after thorough observation, he confirmed that there were no hidden Yellow Sand Scorpions.

Meanwhile, a voice echoed through the hall.

“Congratulations on passing the second layer of the trial… Reward: Supreme Treasure, Yellow Sand Sculpture!”

As the mechanical voice in the hall concluded, another platform rose up, displaying a palm-sized, exquisitely detailed sculpture.

Armed with previous experience, Su Xing guided the Origin Force to take the Yellow Sand Sculpture into his hands, his face revealing a look of delight.

“Yellow Sand Sculpture… It contains a rich essence of The Great Dao of Earth! This is exactly the Supreme Treasure of the Dao that I need!”

Su Xing’s lips curled up in a smile, finding what he needed effortlessly.

With this Yellow Sand Sculpture, if Su Xing cultivated in this Yellow Sand Hall, his perception of The Great Dao of Earth would undoubtedly soar.

“However, it is indeed strange… Why, in the assessment, are there only one of the two peak Heavenly Immortal Realm Yellow Sand Scorpions left, and its Cultivation Level isn’t at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm?”

Su Xing puzzled inwardly, knowing well that living beings and puppets are different.

Puppets might weaken over years of neglect, leading to reduced strength.@@novelbin@@

But living beings typically grow stronger with age!

This Yellow Sand Hall might have existed for an eon… Having lived so long, why has the scorpion’s power actually diminished?

“Wait… An eon?”

“Could it be… the original Yellow Sand Scorpions have died, and this one before me is their offspring, hence its weaker strength?”

Su Xing nodded slightly, feeling that this explanation was undoubtedly the most reasonable!

“Now… only the last test remains. I wonder why?”

As Su Xing pondered, another mechanical voice echoed through the hall.

“Yellow Sand Hall third-layer assessment, talent evaluation… Please place both hands on the stone platform!”

Following the voice, a semi-human-height stone platform rose in the center of the hall.

This ancient platform was engraved with mysterious runes, seemingly capable of assessing a cultivator’s talent.

Standing before the stone platform, Su Xing felt a bit apprehensive, having been tormented by the Descending Sect’s talent assessment before.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing placed his palms on the runes.

The stone platform then raised a gold needle, easily piercing Su Xing’s skin, drawing a droplet of blood.

Immediately, the runes on the platform emitted a dazzling light, and it began to vibrate gently, releasing a burst of mysterious power, the gold light forming into words.

“Qi Refinement: Third Layer of Heavenly Immortal Realm; Body Refinement, early stage of Heavenly Immortal Realm; Age below ten thousand years, Cultivation Level assessment, top grade!”

“Five Elements variant, Super Spiritual Root, possesses Earth Type Super Spiritual Root, talent evaluation, high grade!”

“Detecting target possesses Special Physique… Deepening analysis…”

“Detected target possesses the Fiery Flame Divine Body… Wood Divine Body… Acquired Taoist Body…”

“Overall talent evaluation, superior!”

“Inheritance match degree analysis… Overall matching degree, high grade!”

“Second layer Treasure Vault accessible… After reaching True Immortal Realm, can inherit the complete legacy!”

A series of notifications rang out in Su Xing’s ears.

Su Xing blinked, then his eyes showed a hint of strangeness.

“They can even detect all my Divine Bodies?”

“But it seems they can only detect up to an age of ten thousand years?”

“Why then a superior evaluation… but the matching degree is only high grade?”

Su Xing frowned slightly, but quickly collected his thoughts.

“Daoist Yellow Sand, in seeking an inheritor… looks not only at talent but also the degree of match with his legacy!”

“Though I possess many Divine Bodies, I lack an Earth Type Divine Body… Naturally, the match isn’t perfect with Daoist Yellow Sand’s legacy…”

“It’s a pity that I have to wait until reaching the True Immortal Realm to inherit all of Daoist Yellow Sand’s legacy…”

Just then, Su Xing suddenly recalled something, murmuring:

“Wait! I still have an unclaimed talent… the Earth Divine Body!”

“If…” Su Xing’s eyes brightened, thinking that maybe next time, he might be able to inherit all of Daoist Yellow Sand’s legacy.
