[So you ordered that all citizens of this country, from the sixty-year-old man to the ten-year-old child, only do one thing, and that is to produce apples exclusively for you! ]

【Obviously, this is an unreasonable order.】

[But as the king of the most powerful empire in the world, no one dares to disobey you! ]

[That small country with a population of only 500,000 people can only execute it! ]

[However, only three years after this order was issued, the country's economy began to collapse and order began to fall apart. It was impossible for a country of 500,000 people to survive just by growing apples.]

[So, war broke out... The new regime overthrew the old emperor, and they refused to provide you with apples. ]

[You are angry about this, and no one dares to go against your will! ]

[So you ordered an army of 500,000 to be dispatched, and you conquered the country in person! ]

[Obviously, a small country with a population of only 500,000 cannot resist your 500,000-strong army! ]

[Wherever the war horses and brave generals pass by... no grass will grow! ]

[You stand on the land of this country, watching the wars around you, watching the women who have lost their husbands, watching the old men who have lost their sons, watching the babies who have lost their fathers...]

[You suddenly feel a little sad...]

[You begin to doubt, is it worth it to destroy a country's families just because of your personal likes and dislikes and an order? ]

[You begin to regret, begin to regret your orders, begin to doubt your own arrogance...]

[When you realize all this, you realize that this place is in an illusion.]

[Everything around you disappears into thin air, and you return to the blessed land of the spiritual field]

【Congratulations on breaking through the Aonian barrier! 】

"Finally, I have passed the fourth level of the five stages of the Spiritual Transformation Test, the Proud Thought Test... Now I only have the last level left, the Angry Thought Test!"

Su Xing felt slightly excited.

Being able to break through the five levels of the Spirit Transformation Realm is definitely a miracle.

Throughout the ages, among the countless powerful monks, only a small number of the top ones could do it, and all of those people were monks who devoted themselves to the Tao.

According to the information Su Xing obtained from the Luotian Conference copy, breaking through the five levels of transformation is equivalent to preparing sufficient soil conditions for the birth of immortal seeds in advance, opening a door to becoming an immortal.

Su Xing was originally very curious about what this so-called opportunity to become an immortal was.

But now, after Su Xing broke through four levels in a row, he had a vague guess in his mind.

"The so-called opportunity to become an immortal is probably to see through the five emotions of life: lust, fear, greed, pride, and anger... This is not simply about preserving immortality and eliminating human desires, but a kind of understanding of Tao..."

"The road to immortality is long. In this world, you will encounter countless people and things. Whether you can persist in your original intention of seeking the truth in this long world is the internal factor of whether you can pursue immortal fate!"

Su Xing sighed slightly in his heart, and his state of mind improved slightly again.

He could feel that the five levels of transformation were not something that he had to pass.

Strictly speaking, these five levels should be collectively referred to as "heart-refining levels," which temper the original mind of those who practice Taoism.

Perhaps only many Mahayana cultivators who are about to uncover the secret of becoming immortals will experience this calamity.

And Su Xing is only in the Nascent Soul stage now, but he has experienced all of this in advance. It is naturally very beneficial to Su Xing. At least he will be better prepared when he goes through the immortal tribulation in the future.

"Well, now there is only this last barrier of anger left. Let me see how terrible this barrier of anger is."

Su Xing was a little excited, but becoming an immortal was still a long way off for him.

But as long as you can break through the barrier of anger and achieve the state of incarnation, it will be within reach! He looked at the simulation panel.

[After breaking through the proud thought barrier, you feel your body undergoing subtle changes again.]

[In addition to deepening your understanding of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the most important thing is to improve your state of mind. ]

[You did not choose to break through the last level immediately, but took a few months to adjust your state. ]

[In the seventeenth year, Luo Shuying's hometown was invaded by aliens. ]

[Thousands of spirits were left homeless and fled to Blue Star, fighting against the monsters at the Demon Suppression Pass.]

[From Luo Shuying and the thousands of spirits, you felt a sense of confusion and helplessness, as well as a deeper anger.]

[You feel touched, and immediately enter the blessed land of the spiritual field, ready to retreat and break through! ]

[You adjust your mind and sink into your Nascent Soul, your consciousness drifting off into the distance...]

[When you wake up again, you appear in an unfamiliar environment and forget everything before. ]

[The further you advance through the five stages of the Spiritual Transformation, the heavier the seal on your memory becomes, and the harder it is to break through.]

[In this environment, you are a young e-sports player who became famous at a young age. At the age of sixteen, you made it to the finals of the global finals. ]

[You have become the hope of countless national e-sports fans. People have high expectations for you. However, in the finals, you were defeated by your opponents due to the huge gap in strength.]

[After returning to China, you faced countless insults and ridicules. Overnight, you went from being a talented e-sports teenager to a weak e-sports player that everyone wanted to beat up.]

[You are a player who is easily swayed by emotions. Amidst countless insults, you become angry and more easily swayed by emotions.]

【This also makes your performance and mood plummet, and gradually, you become depressed. 】

[You go back and forth between two places all day long. Apart from training, you hang out in bars.]

[Long-term alcohol stimulation will cause your reaction to decline, even worse than that of ordinary people. ]

[Your strength is declining rapidly, and the coaches and teammates who once had high hopes for you are now looking down upon you, and you are forced to retire.]

[You always have a trace of anger in your heart, thinking that your strength should not be like this, but you have no choice and can never return to that battlefield. ]

[You dropped out of school early and couldn’t find a job, so you ended up staying on a small platform and being a small game anchor. ]

[It is your normal behavior to scold your teammates in the game and the audience in the live broadcast room. After a long time, you will be blacklisted by the platform. ]

[As the years go by, you watch your former teammates and new talents continue to hold up the coveted championship trophy.]

[You envy, you are jealous, and at the same time your heart is filled with a hint of regret. ]

[You tried to make a comeback, but only the lowest-level teams were willing to accept you, and as you gradually aged, you did not create miracles on a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.]

[You retire again. You are nearly thirty years old, full of confusion and anger. You begin to hate everything around you and become angry at everything that does not suit your wishes.]

[Amidst the countless insults, you have long gotten used to it, and with the savings you have accumulated over the years as a host, you barely managed to get married and have children.]

[And for the sake of the milk powder money for your child, you continue to broadcast even though you are abused every day. Gradually, you get used to wearing that hypocritical mask on your face.]

[This is how I ended my life…]

[Congratulations, you have broken through the barrier of anger! ]

The sound of the simulator came into Su Xing's mind.

Su Xing was stunned for a moment, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Strange, in this illusion, I didn't seem to realize that it was an illusion, how come I still saw through it?"

Su Xing seemed to be lost in thought, recalling the conditions that were triggered every time he broke through the illusion.

After a long time, I seemed to understand.

"So, it's not about seeing through the illusion... but about not being controlled by your emotions in the illusion? Or... understanding the nature of these delusions?"

Su Xing shook his head slightly, seeming even more confused about the nature of the five levels of transformation.

"Perhaps we should go to the Luotian Conference to ask what the five levels of the Spiritual Transformation actually mean?"

“If you don’t know it yet, I’m afraid you will only know the secret when you are going through the Immortal Tribulation…”

But no matter what, after breaking through the five levels of the Spirit Transformation Stage, Su Xing has officially taken a big step towards the Spirit Transformation Stage. The next step is to break into the Spirit Transformation Stage!

Thinking so, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.

[After breaking through the five levels of the Spiritual Transformation, you exit the illusion, sit cross-legged on the grass, and feel the flow of spiritual energy around you. Your mind is more peaceful than ever before.]

[Some mysterious changes seem to have occurred in your eyes. You can see the law of the flow of spiritual energy with your naked eyes.]

[With a thought, you can feel the spiritual energy cheering for you, and the spiritual energy in your body becomes more stable, as if a single-plank bridge has been built between you and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.]

[But the surrounding spiritual energy also flows madly into your body, quickly replenishing your spiritual energy consumption. ]

[You have been trying for a long time and found that your speed of absorbing spiritual energy has more than doubled. You can even communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and enhance the power of your magical skills! ]

[After breaking through the fifth stage of the Spiritual Transformation, you feel a little tired. At this moment, you can break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage at any time.]

【But to be on the safe side, you decide to play it safe. 】

[You have been recuperating for several months, and have brought your physical condition to its peak.]

[Afterwards, enter the blessed land of Lingtian and prepare to break into the God Transformation Stage! ]

[Take out the remaining spirit stones and place them around your body to prevent a failure in the breakthrough due to insufficient spiritual energy.]

[Your mind is as clear as a mirror at this moment, and you have officially begun to break through. ]

[The spiritual energy around your body and in the air is like a bunch of glowing dots in your Yuan Shen's perception. Under your guidance, it gradually enters the Yuan Ying in your Dantian.]

[The originally silent golden man began to gradually revive after being stimulated by the spiritual energy. ]

[Gradually, more and more spiritual energy flows into the Nascent Soul in your Dantian. ]

[The little golden man, bathed in spiritual energy, began to gradually change his appearance.]

[From a baby to a child, and then to a teenager... In the end, the appearance of this little golden man seemed to be carved out of the same mold as you, but the size was reduced countless times.]

[As the golden man in your dantian changes, you feel that your consciousness has also been sublimated at this moment! ]

[A thousand feet... One thousand five hundred feet... Two thousand feet! ]

[The range and strength of the divine consciousness have undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment. ]

[But because you are now in the blessed land of spiritual fields, you are not clear about the level to which your spiritual consciousness has been elevated.]

[But soon, the changes in your Dantian caught your attention. ]

[As the spiritual energy continues to flow in, the little man in your Dantian begins to become vivid, and his five gates begin to become clear, but his eyes are still tightly closed, and he seems to have no self-awareness. ]

[Your heart moved, and you took a bit of your own soul into the golden figure.]

[At this moment, the eyes of the golden man slowly opened, revealing pale golden pupils. This man still has no self-awareness, but he is in tune with you.]

[After repeated attempts, you soon discovered the difference between the golden man and the Nascent Soul.]

[You can include your soul in it. When you encounter danger, even if your physical body perishes, as long as your soul is not dispersed, you will still be alive in this world. If you find a suitable body, you may be able to be reborn in the shell.]

Su Xing raised his eyebrows when he saw this and muttered:

“So that’s how it is. When Zong Laogou’s body was destroyed, his soul still existed. He must have stored his soul in the little man in his dantian!”

"It seems that this little man is like a cultivator's second life! As long as his soul is not destroyed and his life span is not over, he will not perish easily!"

Although Yuanying cultivators have cultivated spiritual consciousness and possess a primordial spirit, this primordial spirit is only in its embryonic form.

Only when you completely break into the Spiritual Transformation Stage, your spiritual consciousness and soul will undergo a qualitative transformation! He looked at the simulation panel.

[The magical effect of the primordial spirit is not only that the primordial spirit is immortal and life is not extinguished. ]

[After the formation of the Yuan Shen, your perception of the world has risen to a higher level, and the spiritual energy has been mobilized faster, and even your cultivation speed has increased slightly. ]

[When the little golden man opens his eyes, you feel the surrounding spiritual energy rushing into your body like a flood.]

[With such a terrifying speed, you almost completely drained all the spiritual energy from the blessed land.]

[Fortunately, you took out many spirit stones in advance and set up a spirit gathering formation, so the spiritual energy in the spirit land is barely enough.]

[Even so, your body is still like a black hole, absorbing madly.]

[With the influx of spiritual energy, you feel your spiritual power become stronger. ]

[The spiritual energy that was originally like a small river has turned into a turbulent river at this moment. The total amount of your spiritual energy has almost doubled in an instant! ]

[A faint fragrance emanates from your body. This is a sign of overflowing spiritual power and a breakthrough in realm! ]

[At this moment, you seize the time and try your best to compress the spiritual energy in your body! ]

[The spiritual energy in your body is boiling like boiling water, and there are bursts of roars in your mind! ]

[Accompanied by a burst of fragrance, you break through! ]

[Congratulations, you have become a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage! ]

When Su Xing saw this, he clenched his fists excitedly.

"Finally a breakthrough!"

"God-transforming monk! What is the meaning of face?"

“Hehe… a mere Nascent Soul Patriarch is vulnerable to a single blow!”

For a moment, Su Xing put his hands on his hips, looking very excited.

Breaking into the God Transformation Stage is undoubtedly a huge improvement in strength! "Finally breaking into the God Transformation Stage, then this simulation mission is successfully completed. Next, I still have to seize the time and work hard to improve my cultivation!"

Look at the simulation panel.

[After breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, your Qi Refining strength instantly doubled! ]

[Even if you originally possessed the strength of the Divine Power Realm, after refining Qi and transforming into a Spirit, your overall strength has increased by more than 50%.]

[You slowly stand up, and after feeling the spiritual energy around you, you frown slightly.]

[Because the spiritual energy in the blessed land has become extremely thin at this moment, and the spiritual energy in the eight hundred spiritual stones you placed earlier has also been completely sucked away.]

[Even with the Spirit Gathering Flower, it would take at least a year for the spiritual energy to return to its concentration before the breakthrough.]

[You sighed slightly and returned to the real world. ]

[Your Qi Refining skills cannot be improved for the time being, so you decide to join the Demon Suppression Pass again, and by hunting down the Demon King, you can obtain the essence of blood and flesh and improve your physical strength! ]

[Although the Daxia military disagrees with this decision, they believe that with your identity, it is obviously more appropriate to refine pills in the real world. ]

[But you know your own strength. As a person who has reached the stage of Qi Refining and Spiritualization and Body Refining, your role on the battlefield can even be comparable to that of a veteran Martial Emperor.]

[As long as it’s not a peak demon king or a legendary demon beast attacking you, your life won’t be in danger. ]

【So, you resolutely entered the Demon-Suppressing Pass. 】

[At this time, the situation in Zhenyaoguan has gradually deteriorated. Every day, there are professional players at the King level dying in battle, and martial emperor-level strongmen also die in battle from time to time. ]

[You know that your strength cannot change this outcome, so you start to hunt monsters with all your might.]

[In just one week, no less than ten demon kings died at your hands, and even a demon beast in the early stage of the demon king was killed by your own hands.]

[You take the essence of the Demon King's flesh and blood, cook it, and then feast on it. The essence energy enters your stomach and merges into your limbs and bones, further increasing your physical strength.]

[The Demon Suppression Pass is definitely a treasure land for you to improve your strength. The countless demon kings and demon emperors here can continuously provide you with blood and flesh essence.]

[High-intensity combat can help you better digest these energy essences and use them for your own benefit.]

[You bravely killed monsters in the Monster Suppression Pass, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.]

[Nineteenth year. In the past two years, no less than fifty demon kings have died at your hands, and countless demon beasts at the demon king level.]

[Your physical strength has also improved in the past two years, reaching the fourth level of the Divine Power Realm! ]

[After breaking into the fourth level of the Divine Power Realm, the amount of Demon King's flesh and blood essence you can digest every day has reached five kilograms. The intake of high-quality essence has allowed your strength to steadily improve.]

[In the past two years, the spiritual land has returned to its original state of abundant spiritual energy. ]

[It’s a pity that you can’t practice at a high intensity, and can only replenish the spiritual energy consumed in the spiritual field. ]

[Because just over a hundred Spirit Gathering Flowers are not enough to sustain your long-term cultivation. You once tried to cultivate for half a month, and the spiritual energy in the spiritual field was reduced by more than half within half a month.]

[And the spirit stones you accumulated previously have been used up, and it will be difficult to improve your Qi Refining skills in a short period of time! ]
