Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 159: Chapter 136 Talent, Am I Passerby A? (5000-word Mega Chapter)_2

[After defecting from the Descending Sect, you and Luo Shuying joined the Great Xia Military, and soon after, the Descending Sect issued a kill order against you.]

[But you didn’t care, you began preparing to challenge the fear trial within the five trials of Divinity Transformation again!]

[In the illusionary realm, you still became a character akin to a Son of Destiny, your strength soared, and you ultimately became an Immortal.]

[Afterward, when the behemoth attacked, facing the terror of a gigantic beast that blotted out the sky, along with the endless demons that had crawled out of the Abyss, you were still unable to defeat them.]

[But you never gave up, this time, you chose to confront your fear head on!]

[You kept challenging stronger opponents, and like facing a mountain abyss, you bravely fought to the very end!]

[You successfully conquered the fear trial and walked out of the illusion!]

Seeing this, Su Xing’s lips slightly curved upward.

“Indeed, with the previous simulation experience, this time it was completely different! To break through the fear trial… One must slay their fears?”

Su Xing pondered.

“In that case, the remaining trials of Greed, Pride, Wrath should correspond to greed, pride, and anger!”

Su Xing understood the pattern of breaking through the five trials and felt more confident in his heart.

“However, before attempting the five trials, perhaps some preparation is indeed in order…”

A plan began to form in Su Xing’s mind as he looked towards the simulation panel.

[After breaking through the fear trial, your state of mind improved further! Facing fear, you had the courage to fight with all your might, even if it meant death or the destruction of your path, you would have no regrets!]

[Returning to the real world, you took some time to recuperate.]

[During this period, because of the elixirs you concocted, Great Xia Country saw an increasing number of strong individuals.]

[Your status rose with the tide, elevating you to the top echelons of Great Xia Country.]

[Under these circumstances, the Tarot Society leapt to become a top-tier merchant association.]

[In a short time, wealth, treasures, beauty, and countless honors were all within easy reach for you!]

[This time, you chose not to stay low-key; you told all the citizens of Great Xia Country that you were about to usher in a golden age for professionals!]

[At the same time, you also announced your plan: you would plant a batch of precious Spirit Rice. With this batch of Spirit Rice, the strength of all human professionals would rise a level!]

[Instantly, every professional in Great Xia Country was in an uproar, and you became the hero of the nation!]

[In the fourth year, as you had promised, you began planting Spirit Rice. With the help of this crop, the number of low-level professionals in Great Xia Country increased by several hundred thousand within just one year.]

[This bolstered your power and prestige, allowing you to gain everything you wanted.]

[In order to better pass the trial of greed, you decided to release the evil thoughts within your heart.]

[You began crazily amassing all the treasures you desired and, under the weight of your wealth, countless treasures were brought into your possession.]

[You built a palace for yourself, where fist-sized gems and pearls were strewn carelessly on the floor.]

[On the splendid golden walls hung various weapons—swords, spears, rods, and axes—not as decorations but as genuine legendary weapons!]

[Every day, countless people came to visit you, hoping to forge good relations and acquire a precious Life Extension Pill from you, offering valuable gifts in return.]

[You accepted them all; the treasure in your vault grew more abundant, and you amassed wealth and power maniacally.]

[In the fifth year, in just a year’s time, you became the wealthiest man in Great Xia Country.]

[With endless power and wealth, you grew increasingly arrogant, looking down upon ordinary merchant associations and thus began covertly employing tactics to swallow them up, gradually enlarging the Tarot Society.]

[Your wealth continued to increase day by day, as did your greed and pride.]

[Gradually, a group opposing you emerged within the nation, believing that you had become arrogant and greedy, no longer a hero of the Human Race.]

[But you also had a group of loyal supporters who argued that you had made such substantial contributions to the Human Race, so what’s wrong with enjoying life?]

[Your pride led you to disregard everyone’s words, continuing to act as you pleased.]

[In the sixth year, aside from daily cultivation, you began to enjoy the finer things in life. Anything you desired, wealth-wise, was within easy reach, which only increased your greed day by day.]

[Gradually, friends and family around you began to advise you, believing you had changed from who you once were, but there was nothing you could do; to overcome the trials of greed and pride, you had no choice but to continue.]

[In the seventh year, although you were arrogant and greedy, you still did not neglect the improvement of your strength. That year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level successfully broke through to the second layer of the Divine Strength Realm!]

[In the eighth year, you continued to recklessly squander, enjoying all the rights and wealth at your fingertips. Occasionally, you would concoct elixirs for the influential figures who came seeking medicine, leaving them deeply grateful.]

[In the ninth year, you found, apart from arrogance and greed, you were also becoming increasingly irritable.]

[Any little thing that didn’t align with your wishes would trigger your temper like thunder.]

[You knew in your heart this was a result of the ample wealth and power you had accumulated, and without constraints, you were becoming more prone to anger.]

[But this was exactly what you wanted!]

[Before conquering the remaining three trials, you decided to experience all three of these negative emotions in one go. That way, you would be more confident in breaking through the five trials and entering the Divinity Transformation Stage!]
