Chapter 1327: Chapter 465: Crossing 4 Tribulations in Succession, the Ultimate Self-Abhorrence and Decline!_2

[Fortunately, you have a profound understanding of the Dao of Space, and coupled with the use of the "Another Shot" talent and the "Time Stop in a Breath," you eventually preserved your life.]

[In the second year, after arriving at the Little Qingyun Realm, you quickly made your way to Little Qingyun City.]

[Soon after, you found the Elder of the Qingyun Sect and revealed your identity, expressing your intention to go to the Qingyun Realm.]

[The True Immortal Elder saw your current state and knew that there was no time to delay, so without hesitation, he took you to the Qingyun Realm.]

[In the third year, you successfully reached the Qingyun Realm and met Qing Yunzi.]

[At this time, Qing Yunzi had not yet fallen into madness, and you also made a deal with him.]

[You knew that in your current state, it was difficult to survive in the Three Thousand Worlds, and the Qingyun Sect was a rare sanctuary.]

[Thus, you planned to stay within the Qingyun Sect to safely endure the upcoming hundred plus years of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man...]

In the real world, Su Xing heaved a sigh of relief seeing this.

"After arriving at the Qingyun Sect, it should be safe..."

"Although Qing Yunzi will fall into madness, it’s something that will only happen five hundred years later..."

"Now, while Qing Yunzi has not yet fallen, the Qingyun Sect is indeed the safest place in the entire Qingyun Realm!"

"However, after safely passing through the Underarm Decline, I still have to leave the Qingyun Sect and head to the Heavenly Secrets Domain to see if it’s safe..."

"The Five Decays of Heaven and Man become harder each time, I’m afraid even the Canglan Realm won’t be safe enough... I can only try my luck in the Heavenly Secrets Realm!"

Su Xing sighed again, realizing why it was so difficult for those born as loose cultivators to successfully reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage.

Not to mention other things, just the Five Decays of Heaven and Man alone is enough for those loose cultivator Golden Immortals to suffer.

Only by finding a reliable sect can one’s own safety be somewhat assured.

But for people, wealth is deadly, and even more so for cultivators... Who can guarantee that, when one is weak, those same sect members won’t harm them?

Su Xing sighed, looking towards the simulation panel.

[For the next hundred plus years, you stayed within the Qingyun Sect, peacefully crossing tribulations.]

[For over a hundred years, you guided Immortal Ziling in the Dao of Soul-Nurturing.]

[In the first hundredth year of the simulation, Immortal Ziling successfully advanced to the Taiyi Realm.]

[In the hundred and fifty-third year, you safely passed through the Underarm Decline, the weakness on your body faded away, and your strength increased once more.]

[At this point, the Five Decays of Heaven and Man are three-fifths complete!]

[But knowing that the Qingyun Realm is not a place to stay long-term, you choose to head to the Heavenly Secrets Domain.]

[In the hundred and sixtieth year, you successfully arrived at the Baiyun Realm.]

[To gain a certain position in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it still depends on the upcoming Immortal Boat Defense Battle.]

[So, you didn’t rush to take the Stench Pill to start the Stench Decline...]

[You chose to use this time to comprehend the Great Dao...]

In the real world, Su Xing silently recited seeing this:

"Using immersive simulation, lasting 274 years!"

[Ding..., consuming 1 million Origin Energy Source, remaining Origin Energy Source 462,964,384 points...]

In the last simulation, Su Xing didn’t use the immersive simulation because there wasn’t enough time.

This time, since Su Xing intended to join the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he naturally couldn’t waste the simulation time.

Thus, with the sound of the prompt, Su Xing’s consciousness entered the simulated world.

...

Soon, after more than two hundred years of immersive simulation, Su Xing slightly opened his eyes, revealing a look of satisfaction.

"Not bad, the Great Dao of Thunder has finally stepped into the Fifth Realm Mahayana!"

"Not far from the Sixth Realm... I wonder if during the Taiyi Thunder Tribulation, it can directly enter the Sixth Realm?"

Su Xing had some expectations.

"Now having successfully reached the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, closing in seclusion at this time... I hope that during the Eight Hundred Years War, I won’t have to participate..."

Su Xing estimated that while undergoing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, he shouldn’t be forced to join the war.

His gaze turned to the simulation panel.

[In the four hundredth year, after being enlightened by the Mirror of Void, you successfully advanced the Great Dao of Thunder to the Fifth Realm Mahayana.]

[Since there was little to do, you went on to purchase a high-grade cave residence in Heavenly Secret City and took the Stench Pill.]

[You began the tribulation of the Stench Decline...]

[In your state of completed fortune and lifespan, your entire body emitted an unpleasant odor...]

[This stench ignored both space and barriers, making everyone around you acutely aware that you were in seclusion.]

[In other places, just from this smell, bandit cultivators might have targeted you.]

[But fortunately, you are now a Heaven Rank Elder of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and being in seclusion is relatively safe.]

[Although the smell is unpleasant, it poses little danger, making your tribulation of the Stench Decline much easier...]

[In the blink of an eye, five hundred years have passed.]

[In the eight hundredth year, during the Heavenly Secrets Domain war, you did not participate, and this war lasted a century, with significant losses on the Human Race’s side indeed.]

[Until you emerged from seclusion, the war between the Heavenly Secrets Domain and the Foreign Race had just ended...]

[You understand that in the next four to five hundred years, although there will be battles in the Heavenly Secrets Domain, there will be no large-scale conflicts.]

[You consulted the White Emperor, took the Self-Loathing Powder, and prepared to begin the last tribulation, the Self-Loathing Decline.]

[Although the Heavenly Secret Pavilion needed high-end combat strength at this time, they understood that if you advanced to Taiyi Golden Immortal, you could provide even greater value.]

[So the White Emperor agreed to your seclusion.]

[You began preparing to overcome the final decline, the Self-Loathing Decline, in Heavenly Secret City!]

"It’s here!"

In the real world, Su Xing felt a stir, a sense of nervousness.

"The Five Decays of Heaven and Man, Self-Loathing Decline! It is also the most perilous pass of the Five Decays!"

"In the first four declines, whether it’s filth, Hua Ling, underarm, or stench, all of them weaken the physical body and cultivation level!"

"Only the Self-Loathing Decline is different; it weakens the spirit and erodes the will!"

"If the will and Dao heart are not steadfast, it’s difficult to pass the Self-Loathing Decline..."

"But ordinary Self-Loathing Decline is manageable; I have complete confidence... However, this Self-Loathing Decline enhanced by Self-Loathing Water is truly dangerous, and I’m not very confident!"

Su Xing grasped a handful of cold sweat.

The Self-Loathing Decline is the most perilous among the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, and even has the highest mortality rate!

Because, even peak Golden Immortal cultivators might... commit suicide during the Self-Loathing Decline!

Yes, suicide!

Such is the state of things that a peak Golden Immortal, just a step away from achieving the Taiyi Dao Fruit, loses all interest in life, cultivation, even existence due to the Self-Loathing Decline.

In the face of old age and pain, many a peak Golden Immortal loses all will and commits suicide!

"And yet, this is just an ordinary Self-Loathing Decline... I am very confident in handling it... but with it being enhanced by the Self-Loathing Water, can I really get through it?"

Su Xing took a deep breath, his gaze turning again to the simulation panel.

[In the nine hundredth year, after receiving insights from the Mirror of Void, you successfully entered the Fifth Realm Mahayana of the Great Dao of Thunder.]

[With nothing much to do at the moment, you purchased a high-grade cave residence in Heavenly Secret City and took the Stench Pill.]

[You began to cross the Stench Decline...]

[You entered a state of exhaustion and decay, your entire body exuding an unpleasant odor...]

[This odor was impervious to space and barriers, making everyone around well aware that you were in seclusion.]

[If it were elsewhere, just this odor alone might attract bandit cultivators towards you.]

[But thankfully, you are now a Heaven Rank Elder of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and by being in seclusion, you are relatively safe.]

[Despite the unpleasant smell, there wasn’t much danger. You passed through the Stench Decline with ease...]

[In the blink of an eye, five hundred years had passed.]

[In the eight hundredth year, you didn’t participate in the battle of the Heavenly Secrets Domain, which lasted a hundred years. The human race did indeed suffer heavy losses.]

[By the time you emerged from seclusion, there was no large-scale battle in the Heavenly Secrets Domain expected in the coming years.]

[You consulted the White Emperor, took the Self-Loathing Powder, and began the Self-Loathing Decline!]

[Although the Heavenly Secret Pavilion needs high-end combat strength, they understand that if you advance to Taiyi Golden Immortal, you can offer even greater value.]

[So, the decision was made to send you into seclusion to prepare for the Self-Loathing Decline.]

"Here it comes!"

In the real world, Su Xing felt a stir in his heart as he read this:

"The Self-Loathing Decline, the most perilous hurdle among the Five Decays of Heaven and Man!"

"The first four decays, be it filth or age, no matter what, were relatively simple..."

"Only the Self-Loathing Decline is different; it weakens the spirit, gnawing at the will!"

"While ordinary Self-Loathing Decline is manageable, I have plenty of confidence... but this one with the addition of Self-Loathing Water is truly a different matter, can I survive it?"

Su Xing took a deep breath and looked toward the simulation panel.

[In the nine hundredth year, during the Self-Loathing Decline, your physical body is resilient and your cultivation level is full.]

[In the first hundred years, you felt no significant difference, even secretly thinking this was the easiest of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.]

[Initially, you were merely sympathetic to the sufferings of mortals...]

[Thus, another hundred years passed!]

[By the thousandth and third year, your compassion for humans had shifted to disgust for the unfairness of the Heavenly Dao!]
