While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move
Chapter 100 - 97: The Terrifying Bad Luck Talent, Walking Nuclear Weapon!

[Gradually, you discovered that the elixirs you concocted didn't actually carry bad luck; the real misfortune was you. Wherever you were, those around you would become unlucky.]

[So you stayed in the Descending Sect with peace of mind, hoping to bring your bad luck upon them.]

[In the fourth year, you continued your daily Body Refinement practices and began to concoct Soul Condensing Pills.]

[That year, two more elders from the Descending Sect died.]

[In the fifth year, with sufficient flesh essence and by emulating the body refinement methods of the Witch Clan, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level successfully broke through to the third layer of the Origin Martial Realm.]

[That year, a protector of the Descending Sect died.]

[In the sixth year, you continued to concoct Soul Condensing Pills. In a year, you produced hundreds of furnaces worth, yielding nearly three hundred pills. You felt your skills improving.]

[That year, two protectors led several elders on a clandestine mission to the Demon-Subduing Pass to assassinate human cultivators. However, they were mistaken for enemies by the foreign races. All the protectors and elders involved died, but Damned Zong escaped with his life, gravely injured, thanks to his numerous life-preserving tactics.]

Su Xing nearly burst into laughter upon seeing this. With his misfortune talent, he was practically a walking nuclear weapon!

"Goodness, I haven't done anything in the Descending Sect, and half of their protectors and elders are dead already, right? If I stay a little longer, won't the entire Descending Sect be doomed?"

"The only pity is that Damned Zong managed to survive. That guy is really cautious!"

Su Xing sighed and continued the simulation.

[In the seventh year, your technique for concocting Soul Condensing Pills improved further. You gave hundreds of Soul Condensing Pills to Luo Shuying, hoping to enhance her power and that of her clan.]

[Luo Shuying gladly accepted and offered to treat you to a meal to thank you. You declined hastily, fearing your bad luck would befall her.]

[That year, only one elder of the Descending Sect died.]

[In the eighth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level advanced further, reaching the fourth layer of the Origin Martial Realm.]

[You idly wandered around Damned Zong's place, hoping to transfer your bad luck to him.]

[In the ninth year, your skill in concocting Soul Condensing Pills improved again, reaching a success rate of nearly fifty percent. You mastered the minor achievement level of Soul Condensing Pill techniques.]

[That same year, Damned Zong had a mishap during cultivation, vomited three pounds of blood, and nearly died.]

"Damn, Damned Zong's life is really tough! Vomiting three pounds of blood and still not dead?!"

Su Xing widened his eyes, silently praying that Damned Zong would drop dead soon so he could inherit his wealth.

"Keep at it. Once Damned Zong is dead, I can seize all his property, killing him without lifting a finger!"

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[In the tenth year, you spent a year concocting Soul Condensing Pills, depleting your last piece of Condensing Spirit Wood.]

[In the eleventh year, you attempted to concoct Mid-tier Elixir Turtle Breath Pill. The Turtle Breath Pill, a strengthened version of the Breath Condensing Pill, was reputed to conceal one's true cultivation level even from Mahayana cultivators. You decided it would be an ideal elixir for your cautious nature and began concocting it.]

[The concoction of Turtle Breath Pill required a special material called Turtle Shell Stone, reputed to be fossilized shells from thousand-year-old Demonic Beasts.]

[You asked Luo Shuying to help you search for this material in the Treasure Vault of the Descending Sect, but she found none.]

[Helpless, you contacted the Great Xia Military for assistance in finding Turtle Shell Stone.]

[To your surprise, a few months later, Lu Yuanwu brought you a significant amount of Turtle Shell Stone, and you began concocting Turtle Breath Pills.]

[After a year, you mastered the basic techniques of concocting Turtle Breath Pills. Though not as miraculous as described in the pill recipe, your Turtle Breath Pills were sufficient to conceal your presence from Damned Zong, an old Divinity Transformation cultivator.]

[You had an idea to secretly hide in Damned Zong's house.]

[You took Turtle Breath Pills daily to conceal your presence from Damned Zong, and it worked.]

[Damned Zong's luck worsened. You even saw him trip and fall on the street.]

[Damned Zong often had nightmares at night and appeared listless, losing the grandeur of a Divinity Transformation cultivator.]

[You were delighted and prepared to further doom Damned Zong.]

[In the twelfth year, you successfully broke through to the fifth layer of the Origin Martial Realm.]

[One day, while hiding under Damned Zong's bed, you overheard him muttering about being cursed. He decided to flee far away from the strange curse.]

[The next day, Damned Zong left the Descending Sect and went to an undisclosed location.]

[That same year, Luo Shuying's homeland was invaded by foreign races, and thousands of Spirit Race people sought refuge on the Blue Star.]

"Damn, Damned Zong is too sneaky! He actually fled directly?"

Su Xing slapped his thigh in frustration. He was so close to dooming Damned Zong, but the old fox was more cautious than he had imagined!

"However, I've nearly brought the Descending Sect to collapse. No need to worry."

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[In the thirteenth year, the Great Xia Military saw tens of thousands of Grandmaster Level experts and hundreds of Heavenly King Level experts emerge, attributed to the endless supply of elixirs you provided.]

[The Descending Sect should have known about this and strictly investigated, but their significant loss of strength over the years left them unable to.]

[That year, you continued your cultivation and alchemy, as if unaffected by the outside world.]

[In the fourteenth year, the Descending Sect once again faced turmoil; all remaining protectors and elders perished.]

[That same year, internal conflicts within the Descending Sect intensified. The Nature Faction leader and the fanatic faction leader fought. The fanatic faction leader accidentally killed the Nature Faction's leader, a Legendary Level powerhouse, causing internal collapse.]

Su Xing burst into laughter instantly. The faction leader of the Descending Sect, truly a sect's big shot, a Legendary Level expert.

He got killed due to sect infighting?

"This… The bad luck talent is too insane!"

Su Xing was somewhat shocked. If only this bad luck could always follow the Descending Sect, it would be great.

However, the talent's side effects were too significant. Su Xing's frail body couldn't withstand it. What if he got unlucky and died himself?

In the simulation, death was just death, but Su Xing had only one life in reality!

"So, should I bring this bad luck talent out?"

Su Xing fell into contemplation.

"Never mind. I'll simulate first. Overthinking will give me analysis paralysis…"

Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

[In the fifteenth year, the overall strength of the Descending Sect waned. Their tens of thousands of followers suffered heavy casualties, leaving only a few faction leaders, almost solitary figures. The sect's influence on the human race greatly diminished.]

[That same year, you and Luo Shuying raided the Treasure Vault of the Descending Sect but were caught by the vault keeper, Dragon Protector. Luo Shuying broke through to the Legendary Level at the critical moment, and you both narrowly escaped death.]

[After betraying the Descending Sect, you and Luo Shuying planned to join the Great Xia Military, but fearing your talent would doom the military, you chose to live in seclusion.]

[You continued your cultivation and elixir-making for the Great Xia Military, and accumulated sufficient flesh essence from demonic beasts.]

[In the sixteenth year, your cultivation further advanced to the sixth layer of the Origin Martial Realm.]

[In the seventeenth year, you improved the recipe for Fasting Pills by incorporating trace amounts of demonic beast flesh, significantly enhancing their effect. Even Grandmaster Level professionals could fast for three months without hunger.]

[In the eighteenth year, you diligently cultivated, and your strength steadily increased. However, as your Body Refinement Cultivation Level rose, the effect of Demon King level flesh essence diminished.]

[You requested flesh essence from Martial Emperor level beings from the Great Xia Military but found it too rare. Nonetheless, due to your status, a Legendary General guarding the Demon-Subduing Pass agreed to look out for opportunities to provide it to you.]

[In the nineteenth year, you consumed five pounds of Demon King flesh essence and twenty pounds of Spirit Rice daily while taking Origin Martial Pills, steadily advancing your Body Refinement Cultivation Level.]

[In the twentieth year, despite not obtaining Martial Emperor level flesh essence, your Great Eater talent allowed your cultivation to steadily rise, bringing you closer to breaking through to the seventh layer of the Origin Martial Realm.]

[In the twenty-first year, you successfully broke through to the seventh layer of the Origin Martial Realm.]

[That same year, the situation at the Demon-Subduing Pass deteriorated sharply. Two faction leaders from the Descending Sect coordinated with foreign races for a sneak attack, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Heavenly King Level experts and two Legendary Level experts in one night.]

Su Xing frowned slightly, muttering:

"Is the Descending Sect going for a desperate gamble now? The entire sect is almost eradicated, but they still have a few top-tier experts. I never expected them to go berserk!"

Su Xing sighed, as this was unexpected.

He thought the near-extinction of the Descending Sect would prolong the doomsday by several years, but it had plunged the Demon-Subduing Pass into crisis instead.

"Wait… Could it be my bad luck affecting the Great Xia Military?"

Su Xing suddenly considered the possibility. Though he tried to minimize contact with the Great Xia Military in the simulation, bad luck was unavoidable.

"This talent is hard to control!"

Su Xing sighed. If he could freely control this bad luck talent, it would be a lethal weapon. Alas, he could not.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[In the twenty-second year, the battle between humans and demonic beasts in the Demon-Subduing Pass intensified, with frequent deaths of Martial Emperor level professionals. You finally obtained a piece of Martial Emperor flesh essence.]

[Upon consuming the Martial Emperor flesh essence, your body felt like it was about to explode with energy. Fortunately, your physical body was resilient, and your Great Eater talent helped you rapidly digest the essence.]

[With the Martial Emperor flesh essence, your cultivation advanced rapidly. With daily consumption, you could break through your current realm in one or two years.]

[But you had no time for training. Under relentless attacks from demonic beasts, the Demon-Subduing Pass fell, leaving the human race in grave danger.]

[That same year, giant beasts descended upon the real world, devouring the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp.]

[You died!]

[Your talent Dead Unyielding activated, and you saw darkness...]

[Ding, this simulation is over!]

After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned. He never expected the doomsday to arrive a few days earlier this time.

"Well, it's only a few years less… The gains from this simulation are enough!"

Su Xing sighed.

In this simulation, his greatest gain was from the Luotian Meeting Instance, the memories from the immersive simulation.

"Damn, I just realized. What if all three of my Gathering Spirit Flowers are either male or female? How will they reproduce?"

Su Xing's face darkened, and he quickly checked the genders of the three Gathering Spirit Flowers.

Fortunately, he found yellow specks on one of them.

"Luckily, two male Gathering Spirit Flowers and one female, they can reproduce!"

Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Having resolved the biggest problem with his Gathering Spirit Flowers, Su Xing pondered again.

"Should I choose this bad luck talent or not? It's really tricky!"
