I Have a Cultivation Simulator

Whoosh!

Xiao Hei descended from the sky.

Amid the hazy gray mist, you sat cross-legged on the ground. Your clothes were in tatters, exposing skin scarred and battered by the recent heavenly tribulation.

Huu—

You let out a soft breath. The blood vitality within your body rolled outward like a roaring tsunami, enveloping a radius of one or two li.

Xiao Hei flapped his wings a few times, sensing the immense pressure.

This was a pressure only a Third-Tier Great Monster of the same level could exert.

Inhale—

You took a deep breath, and the injuries across your physique rapidly began to heal.

"Third-Tier Body Cultivator!"

You opened your eyes, your gaze burning like a torch. You could clearly sense that your physical body had improved by a massive margin.

You had thoroughly stepped into the Core Formation level.

At this moment, even without using your dharma power or any other methods, your physical body alone was enough to contend with an ordinary Core Formation true person.

"It's a pity..."

You sighed inwardly.

At the very end of the heavenly tribulation, you had used a little dharma power to protect yourself.

If you hadn't, even if you survived the tribulation, you would have suffered irreversible injuries.

And that was not what you were after.

Your main path was still dharma cultivation.

Body cultivation was only a secondary pursuit. There was no need to take such a risk.

The most elite dharma cultivators of ancient times were not weaker than the elite body cultivators; their directions simply differed.

Furthermore, the current environment of heaven and earth was clearly more favorable for dharma cultivation.

Body cultivation? If the third-tier heavenly tribulation was this difficult, what about the fourth?

You weren't like Dachun, who had awakened the Ancient Saint Bloodline and possessed extraordinary talent in body cultivation.

"I still can't compare to Dachun..."

You estimated silently.

Relying solely on your physical body, you could currently only match a normal early-stage Golden Core true person.

Meanwhile, the Dachun from your third simulation gave you the feeling of being roughly on par with a mid-stage Golden Core true person, equivalent to the early stage of a Flawless Gold Core.

Of course, this comparison was strictly limited to pure physical strength.

In terms of overall strength? The Dachun who emerged over a hundred years later was far inferior to the current you.

Body cultivation was only your secondary method; dharma cultivation was the source of your greatest strength.

"Body refining divine ability..."

You carefully sensed the subtle changes within your physical body.

When pure body cultivators underwent the heavenly tribulation, they had a chance to stimulate their potential and awaken a body cultivation divine ability.

You had already survived three body refining heavenly tribulations. Especially during this third-tier tribulation, you had endured almost the entire process with your physical body alone.

"This is..."

As you inwardly inspected every detail of your body, you noticed threads of blood vitality continuously coiling and interweaving. They faintly formed an incredibly complex golden seal script character, which then instantly merged deep into your physique.

And naturally, you understood the meaning behind this golden seal character.

Ancient body refining divine ability—Eruption.

Once this divine ability was activated, your physical body, blood vitality, and divine soul would skyrocket in power.

It would be enough to rival an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core true person.

Of course, this state could only be maintained for one hundred breaths.

Once that time limit passed, your strength would return to its original state, and you would be unable to use the divine ability again for a short period.

"As expected of a body cultivation divine ability. No latent dangers, no weakness after use, no side effects whatsoever..."

You marveled secretly. Briefly elevating your strength from the early stage to the mid-stage was something that could also be achieved through certain forbidden techniques and secret arts.

However, that required paying a heavy price: sacrificing lifespan, damaging your origin, suffering a period of weakness, or even all of the above.

But the divine ability Eruption?

Its only drawback was being unable to use it again within a short timeframe?

And even that couldn't really be considered a drawback.

If you could use it continuously, what would that make you?

"A massive leap in strength..."

A smile appeared on your face.

Once you used the divine ability Eruption, not only would your blood vitality and physical body improve, but your divine soul would also be boosted.

And the divine soul was capable of enhancing your dharma cultivation strength.

Originally, the strength of your divine soul was already no weaker than an ordinary Late-Stage Great True Person.

After being augmented by Eruption, what level would it reach?

Boom—

You directly activated the divine ability Eruption.

In an instant, your blood vitality boiled over, sweeping across a radius of two to three li.

Nearby, Xiao Hei looked horrified. From your body, he felt a fatal pressure.

"My divine soul strength has temporarily increased to Core Formation perfection, while my physical body..."

One hundred breaths later, your aura gradually returned to normal, and you deduced your level of strength after using the divine ability Eruption.

For the duration of Eruption, your overall strength surpassed that of a Core Formation Late-Stage Great True Person, reaching the level of Core Formation perfection.

Of course, this applied to normal cultivators.

But what if it was against a demonic cultivator?

Relying on the Natural Enemy of Demonic Cultivators talent...

Your level of strength would reach...

Half-step Nascent Soul?

You weren't entirely sure.

However, you knew that your certainty of dealing with True Person Biyue had increased by another margin.

As the duration of Eruption ended, you faintly sensed that you would need to wait a month before you could use this divine ability again.

"A one-month cooldown time?"

You found this completely acceptable. Core Formation true persons had long lifespans, and their closed-door cultivation sessions were measured in years or decades. A mere month was incredibly short.

The sixty-sixth year: you were eighty-two years old.

You fully adapted to your third-tier physical body and integrated it with your dharma cultivation strength.

This year, your reputation in the Taiyuan Region rose even further. Thanks to True Person Mystic Turtle spreading the word, the news that you had refined the Crystal Condensation Pill spread far and wide.

The highest echelons of alchemists in the Taiyuan Region opened their doors to you.

Occasionally, true persons came to ask you to refine Crystal Condensation Pills, adding another sum to your income.

The sixty-seventh year: you were eighty-three years old.

You publicly announced that you were entering closed-door cultivation for two and a half years.

In reality, you had already taken Xiao Hei and left the Taiyuan Region, entering the vast and boundless wilderness.

This was not your first time in the wilderness. During the final years of your third simulation, under Dachun's protection, you had also ventured into the wilderness.

Except back then, you only had the strength of Foundation Establishment. Now, you were a Golden Core true person—and a mid-stage one at that, with strength rivaling a true person at Core Formation perfection.

With your current strength, you stood practically at the very peak of the wilderness.

The wilderness did indeed harbor a few Core Formation rogue cultivators. These rogue cultivators had committed major crimes in their respective regions and were wanted by Nascent Soul-level factions. Unable to survive in any nearby regions, they were forced to wander the wilderness.

However, rogue cultivators who had reached the level of a Late-Stage Great True Person were exceedingly rare.

One month later.

You arrived before a grayish-brown valley.

Yellow sand filled the sky here, and spiritual energy was volatile. Geographically, it was close to the Jiuyou Region.

You gazed at the grayish-brown valley from a distance.

"This is the place..."

You sacrificed a few months of your lifespan to lock onto True Person Dongsha's exact location.

When performing divination and calculations, the more precise the desired result, the greater the toll.

If you only wanted to know True Person Dongsha's general location—for example, within a thousand li—

—then you wouldn't need to sacrifice lifespan for the divination.

But a thousand-li radius was far too large.

Moreover, True Person Dongsha could move at any time.

Therefore, you had no choice but to sacrifice your lifespan for a precise divination.

True Person Dongsha was, after all, a Golden Core true person. Obtaining his exact location using a low-tier, third-grade divination technique was no easy feat; it required investing lifespan to conduct a deep-level divination.

"Right now, True Person Dongsha should be waiting here for the demonic cultivators from the Jiuyou Region to arrive for their transaction..."

You thought to yourself.

Although True Person Dongsha was a Golden Core true person, he definitely wouldn't dare to enter the Jiuyou Region to trade with demonic cultivators. The risk was simply too great.

The character of the demonic cultivators in the Jiuyou Region had always been notoriously poor. They relished murder, robbing treasures, and backstabbing their own partners.

Inside the grayish-brown valley.

Clad in a yellow robe, True Person Dongsha gazed toward the Jiuyou Region.

"If this transaction goes smoothly, I'll obtain that Myriad Spirit Blood Pill... Reaching the peak of the early stage will be right around the corner!"

True Person Dongsha wore a look of anticipation. The reason he had personally come was that the item being traded was something he desperately desired.

The Myriad Spirit Blood Pill required melting down the divine souls and essence blood of at least ten thousand Qi Refining living beings to refine. Once consumed, it could push one's cultivation from just entering the early Golden Core stage to the peak of the early stage within ten years, saving centuries of bitter cultivation.

Although such a great demonic pill involved cruel methods and carried hidden dangers, its effect on advancing one's cultivation was highly effective.

It was just that the act of melting down cultivators to refine pills was strictly forbidden in other regions. Only the Jiuyou Region viewed it as normal.

And for the sake of trading for that Myriad Spirit Blood Pill, True Person Dongsha had brought over a considerable amount of precious treasures and resources.

"Once I step into the peak of the early stage and my strength advances greatly, the position of Vice-Alliance Master of the Merchant Alliance will be mine for the taking..."

True Person Dongsha was in an excellent mood. "That Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce still wants to compete with me for the Vice-Alliance Master position? It's like an idiot talking in his sleep!"

True Person Dongsha felt nothing but disdain. From his investigations over the past few years, he knew that the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce also intended to compete for the role.

True Person Dongsha had never considered the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce a rival. Their foundation was far too shallow; the only one currently overseeing Profound King Island was an early-stage Golden Core ghost cultivator.

It was said that the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce had another Golden Core true person back in the Taiyuan Region, but True Person Dongsha paid it no mind.

Becoming the Vice-Alliance Master of the Merchant Alliance didn't rely on the number of Golden Core true persons, but on connections. His family had operated on Profound King Island for centuries. How could a foreign chamber of commerce that had only been stationed there for a few decades possibly compare?

"They're here!"

At that moment, True Person Dongsha faintly detected some movement and looked toward the outside of the valley.

He walked out of the valley and discovered several figures wearing bamboo hats standing there.

The bamboo hat-wearing figures emitted absolutely no auras, appearing like dead objects.

True Person Dongsha wasn't suspicious of this, merely assuming it was some brilliant aura-concealing technique.

"Did you bring the item?"

True Person Dongsha was on high alert, his attention fully focused on those bamboo hat-wearing figures.

When trading with demonic cultivators, one had to be exceptionally cautious.

The figures remained silent. The leading figure took out a box and tossed it toward True Person Dongsha.

"The Myriad Spirit Blood Pill!"

True Person Dongsha looked at the box.

Right at that moment!

True Person Dongsha's expression changed drastically.

A palm-sized dark shadow had somehow already closed to within ten meters of him.

Swoosh!

The dark shadow erupted instantly. Its wings spread wide, and a black eagle beak tore through the air.

The dharma power barrier that True Person Dongsha hastily condensed was easily pierced by the dark shadow.

And at the same time.

The several bamboo hat-wearing figures in the distance also abruptly closed in, erupting with auras approaching that of Golden Core true persons.

"True Person Wangyou, you plan to murder me and steal my treasures!"

True Person Dongsha paled in shock. The demonic path true person he was trading with was named True Person Wangyou.

Suddenly—

An invisible fluctuation surged.

True Person Dongsha instantly felt a searing pain in his divine soul. The divine soul secret treasure guarding his sea of consciousness silently crumbled into dust.

"This is a divine soul attack from at least a Core Formation Late-Stage Great True Person..."

Dongsha's heart turned icy cold. The divine soul secret treasure guarding his sea of consciousness was enough to withstand several full-force strikes from a mid-stage Golden Core true person's divine soul. For it to shatter instantly like this, a Golden Core Late-Stage Great True Person had to be launching a sneak attack from the shadows.

"To think a dignified Late-Stage Great True Person would actually ambush an early-stage Golden Core like me..."

True Person Dongsha only felt his divine soul being torn apart. That Late-Stage Great True Person-level divine soul attack was completely beyond his ability to resist.

The impact on his divine soul caused True Person Dongsha to lose nearly all capacity for action. He didn't even have the strength to use his Concentric Stone to transmit information about this place back to Profound King Island.

The divine soul attack had come far too suddenly. If True Person Dongsha had been prepared in advance, he might have been able to hold on for half a breath, gaining the chance to send a message back to Profound King Island.

But now?

"Senior, spare my life! I'm willing to offer..."

True Person Dongsha's eyes turned crimson. In the end, his body was run through by Xiao Hei, and then completely locked down by the four third-tier puppets that followed up.

Only then did you walk out from the shadows and look at True Person Dongsha, who had completely lost all signs of life.

You had started by using the third-tier puppets to attract True Person Dongsha's attention, then had Xiao Hei launch a sneak attack from the shadows to split his focus. Finally, you remained hidden in the dark and ambushed him with a divine sense comparable to that of a Late-Stage Great True Person.

True Person Dongsha never even had time to react.

"Seize!"

With a thought, you took out a jade bottle. This jade bottle was an item used to seal divine souls.

Guiding it with your divine sense, you drew True Person Dongsha's slumbering remnant soul into the jade bottle, then slapped on several third-tier sealing talismans.

With your divine soul attack, you could have utterly obliterated True Person Dongsha's divine soul just now.

However, it wasn't time for True Person Dongsha to die yet. The Dongsha Merchant Association on Profound King Island definitely had a soul lamp for him. The moment True Person Dongsha died, they would know.

Furthermore, his remnant soul was still of use to you.

Whoosh!

Xiao Hei flew over, carrying True Person Dongsha's storage bag in his beak.

As for True Person Dongsha's Golden Core, Xiao Hei had already eaten it.

To a monster beast, the Golden Core of a Core Formation Stage true person was a highly nourishing supplement, and you had tacitly allowed Xiao Hei to do so.

You casually took the storage bag and began to take inventory.

"This is..."

Looking at the numerous spoils of war inside the storage bag, you couldn't help but be moved.
