[Thus, five more years passed...]
[In the one hundred and fiftieth year, you thoroughly repaired the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat...]
[With years of artifact refining, your artifact refining skills had improved, and you were now capable of attempting to refine top-grade Immortal Treasures...]
[However, the materials needed for top-grade Immortal Treasures were exceedingly rare!]
[To refine a top-grade Immortal Treasure, the material costs were nearly a billion high-grade Spirit Stones, over ten times the cost of refining a high-grade Immortal Treasure...]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, saying:
"Nearly a billion high-grade Spirit Stones... thatâs tens of millions of top-grade Spirit Stones!"
"Only a True Immortal could possess such wealth, right?"
Top-grade Immortal Treasures were originally meant for True Immortals, to be able to unleash their maximum power.
It was no exaggeration to say that a handy magical treasure could increase a cultivatorâs combat power by more than thirty percent.
Therefore, many True Immortals spent thousands to tens of thousands of years accumulating wealth to craft a top-grade Immortal Treasure.
"Tsk, tsk, being able to refine a top-grade Immortal Treasure would indeed qualify one as a Great Grandmaster of artifact refining... but Iâm still some distance away..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly and looked at the simulation panel.
[In the next ten years, you refined artifacts day and night, sometimes visiting the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to gather intelligence on the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[In the one hundred and sixtieth year, you received a shocking piece of intelligence after visiting the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.]
[All contact with the Little Qingyun Realm was lost; it was completely invaded by the Foreign Race!]
[Upon learning this, you fell silent for a long time but could only accept this fact.]

[The Foreign Race was powerful. How could a mere Minor Thousand Worlds realm resist, even if they had been holding out?]
[During these years in the Cangwu Realm, you also discovered traces of the Descending Sect.]
[By chance, an evil cultivator attempted to assassinate you, wanting you to refine artifacts for him.]
[This evil cultivator had a peak Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level. After several entanglements, you killed him...]
[After killing this evil cultivator, you obtained a token from him, inscribed with the code "Blood Forty-three"...]
[You were shocked, realizing that the Cangwu Realm too had become a future target for the Foreign Raceâs conquest...]
[However, you estimated that with the Cangwu Realmâs strength, holding out for another hundred years shouldnât be a problem...]
[One day, your Talent for foreseeing good and evil sent a warning.]
[After a divination, you learned that a death calamity was imminent...]
[You decided to pilot the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and prepare to escape from the Cangwu Realm.]
[You had just passed the Void Node when you encountered an unexpected enemy!]
[A high-ranking official of the Descending Sect, Blood Three!]
[Somehow, Blood Three had tracked your whereabouts and pursued you...]
[His physical and mana strength was so formidable that he could traverse the void...]
[Your flying boat was destroyed by him, and you were captured alive by Blood Three...]
[You lost consciousness.]
[When you woke up again, you found yourself within a gigantic formation, beneath a pair of blood-red eyes.]
[Murmurs filled your ears...]
[Your consciousness slowly disintegrated...]
[You died!]
[Ding, the simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned slightly.
"The Descending Sect truly is like a centipede that dies but wonât fall!"
"To think there are also traces of the Descending Sect in the Cangwu Realm!"
Undoubtedly, this was bad news for Su Xing. In this simulation, he didnât die at Qing Yunziâs hands; instead, he was killed by Blood Three.
It was just that Blood Threeâs strength was somewhat beyond Su Xingâs expectations.
"Being able to traverse the void with sheer physical and mana strength... Perhaps even among Golden Immortal Realm experts, he has few rivals?"
Su Xing sighed and continued:
"And the Little Qingyun Realm, which was annihilated around the one hundred and sixtieth year... perhaps if I intervened, I could delay its destruction?"
Su Xing estimated that with his current strength, he could postpone Blue Starâs destruction by several decades.
By then, the Red-eyed Foreign Raceâs invasion would be delayed, and the Little Qingyun Realm might be able to hold out for several more decades as well.
"The good news is, Qing Yunzi hasnât found my whereabouts yet... This means that as long as I avoid the Descending Sectâs search, I can simulate for a longer period..."
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the rewards from this simulation.

Upon exchange, it elevates you to the peak of a Grandmaster of artifact refining, just one step away from becoming a Great Grandmaster. Priced at 50,000 Origin Energy Source.
Looking at the simulation rewards before him, Su Xing did not hesitate and decisively said:
"I choose Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Third Layer (Beginner), as well as the Artifact Refining Insight..."
[You successfully brought out the Artifact Refining Insight, costing 50,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving a balance of 221,196 points...]
[You successfully brought out the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision, Third Layer (Beginner) cultivation, costing 100,000 points of Origin Energy Source, leaving a balance of 121,196 points...]
As the prompt sounded, two streams of profound energy flowed into Su Xingâs body.
A massive amount of artifact refining experience surged into Su Xingâs mind.
The previously incomprehensible artifact refining techniques and obstacles were all effortlessly resolved.
