While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move

"Heart of the Strong? What kind of talent is this?"

Su Xing was taken aback and hurried to read the introduction of this talent.

[Heart of the Strong]: Can only be triggered once per simulation, whenever you are in a desperate situation and facing imminent death, as long as you successfully escape, you can enhance your latent potential and increase your cultivation level, achieving a breakthrough in your cultivation.

Su Xing read it twice and finally understood the effect of this new talent.

"Hiss~ Heart of the Strong, this talent seems quite powerful!"

"Although the talent has significant limitations, once triggered, the benefits are likely to be astonishing!"

To Su Xing, there are two major limitations to Heart of the Strong.

First, it can only be triggered once per simulation.

Second, it can only be activated after facing a life-and-death crisis and escaping from great peril.

The effect of Heart of the Strong, in plain terms, is somewhat like the Saiyan physique he saw in an anime in his past life, becoming stronger through battle and breaking through limits after facing life-and-death crises!

"This talent seems to have some substance! It might be worth keeping to see..."

"However, the conditions for triggering are quite strict. If facing enemies like Qing Yunzi and Blood Three... it might not be triggerable at all, unless I consciously control the activation of this talent!"

"Ensuring that I encounter a life-and-death crisis in the simulation, and then luckily survive... only then can the benefits be maximized!"

Su Xing pondered and several methods to trigger Heart of the Strong emerged in his mind.

"As good as the talent is, in this simulation, I still need to break through to the Profound Immortal as soon as possible!"

Su Xing clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anticipation.

His gaze turned towards the Simulation Panel.

[Ding, please select a Joy Plus One talent enhancement...]

"I choose the Great Talent Maturing Late talent..."

[In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you are in simulation.]

[Instead of choosing to go to the Little Qingyun Realm, you decide to stay on Blue Star to see when Blood Three will arrive.]

[In the following year, you gather Heart Fire energy on Blue Star.]

[The second year, you perform divination daily to explore your personal safety.]

[Finally, one day the divination shows great misfortune, a deadly crisis will befall you within seven days!]

[The only way to save your life is to leave Blue Star...]

[You know, this means Blood Three is about to arrive!]

[The time of Blood Three's arrival, roughly one year after the death of the Damned Dragon... This means you only have one year to prepare.]

[Faced with a life-and-death calamity, you did not hesitate to take some friends and family, harness the Star-Moon Shuttle, and head to the Little Qingyun Realm.]

[After arriving in the Little Qingyun Realm, you quickly reported the intelligence from Blue Star.]

[And you made it clear that the Descending Sect and the Red Moon are on Blue Star... You attempted to request the assistance of a Daluo Golden Immortal.]

[But unsurprisingly, not even the Heavenly Secret Pavilion could easily ask for a Daluo Golden Immortal's help, let alone a branch division?]

[Under these circumstances, you could only seek self-preservation.]

[You visited the Qingyun Sect and successfully completed the deal with Qing Yunzi.]

[When meeting with Qing Yunzi, you informed him about the matters of the Red Moon and Descending Sect on Blue Star, but you concealed the details of the Luo Tian Mirror.]

[Although Qing Yunzi had the intention to help, he was currently at a low point in his power and was also consumed by the Evil Corpse, which made it difficult for him to lend a hand.]

[With no other choice, you left the Qingyun Sect and proceeded to the Nine Heavens Domain, ready for the final breakthrough!]

[The fifth year, you began to search for the Luo Tian Sect's legacy in the Qingyun Realm.]

[After more than ten years, you found dozens of legacies and went on to the Nine Heavens Domain.]

[The twentieth year, in the secret realm of The Fifth Layer of Heaven, you began to cultivate Heart Fire energy in seclusion.]

[In the blink of an eye, sixty years passed by...]

[In the eightieth year, you are only one step away from successfully cultivating Heart Fire energy!]

[With the aid of the Great Talent Maturing Late talent, the speed of your Heart Fire cultivation has increased by a full fourfold!]

[Finally, in the hundredth year, one day you had a moment of serendipity, feeling a surge of pure mana cultivation within your heart.]

[You felt the power of the mana within you almost doubled once again...]

[Congratulations, you have successfully cultivated Heart Fire energy!]

[Now, Heart Fire, Kidney Water, Spleen Earth, Liver Wood, Lung Metal energy, all Five Elements have been cultivated... You're just short of the final Five Qis to the Yuan, and then you can step into the Profound Immortal Realm!]

[Without hesitation, you immediately began to prepare for Five Qi to the Yuan.]

In the real world, Su Xing looked somewhat excited.

"Finally, the most crucial moment has arrived!"

"As long as I complete the Five Qi to the Yuan successfully, I can step into the realm of Profound Immortal and enjoy a lifespan far surpassing five hundred years! Both mana and strength will undergo qualitative changes!"

Su Xing recalled the information about Five Qi to the Yuan in his mind.

Gathering the Five Qi in the chest is actually paving the way for the Five Qi to the Yuan phase!

As the saying goes, '心藏神' (the heart harbors the Divine Soul), '肝藏魂' (the liver harbors the soul), '脾藏意' (the spleen harbors the will), '肺藏魄' (the lungs harbor the corporeal soul), '肾藏精' (the kidneys harbor the essence).

For cultivators, the five internal organs each correspond to a cultivator's inherent life element: Divine Soul, soul, will, corporeal soul, and essence!

Most people have only heard of the kidneys storing vital energy, but do not know the uses of the other four organs.

This is also why once a cultivator loses their physical body, their strength is greatly diminished...

"Five Qi to the Yuan is not difficult... There are many methods to condense the Five Qi, among which the most common one is to travel amongst the mortal world, experiencing the seven emotions and six desires, only then can one attain the Five Qi to the Yuan!"

"A sorrowful heart, a joyful liver, desires in the spleen, anger in the lungs, and pleasure in the kidneys... assimilating these five emotions of sorrow, joy, desire, anger, and pleasure into the five organs, corresponding to the Divine Soul, soul, will, corporeal soul, and realm, one can achieve the level of Five Qi to the Yuan!"

"This is also why those cultivators who are half a step from the Profound Immortal realm enjoy traveling in the world... to experience the suffering of the mortal realm."

"In the end... cultivation is all about cultivating the heart!"

Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued:
