I Have a Cultivation Simulator

[ The Nine Heavens Clear Wind was an innate spiritual item formed from innate clear qi. ]

[ Rumor had it that at the dawn of the universe, clear qi rose and turbid qi sank. This ascending clear qi was the innate clear qi, and the Nine Heavens Clear Wind evolved from it. ]

[ Even possessing only an insignificant fraction of innate clear qi's power, the Nine Heavens Clear Wind had many wondrous uses. Among them was its ability to cleanse a Core Formation True Person's body and dharma power. Using it before attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage provided a slight boost when shattering the core to form the nascent soul. ]

[ The breakthrough from the Core Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage was generally divided into three phases. ]

[ The first phase was shattering the core to form the nascent soul, the second was the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and the third was the Heart Demon Tribulation. ]

[ Only by traversing all three could one become a true Nascent Soul True Monarch. ]

[ Of the three phases, both the first and second could be aided by external items, such as various nascent soul-forming spiritual items. ]

[ But the third phase... the Heart Demon Tribulation ignored all aptitude and external forces. To overcome it, one could only rely on their own Dao heart. ]

[ 'Mount Baimo...' ]

[ Mount Baimo's strongest cultivator was named True Person Baihe, possessing a Mid Core Formation Stage cultivation. ]

[ Mount Baimo even boasted a Tier 3 mid-grade defensive grand array. Outside of wartime, unless a Nascent Soul True Monarch took action, even a Late-Stage Great True Person couldn't breach it in a short time. ]

[ This was also the reason why, despite knowing Mount Baimo possessed a nascent soul-forming spiritual item, you hadn't made a move yet. ]

[ You had no confidence in taking it by force. ]

[ If you failed, you would only implicate yourself instead. ]

[ As for a fair trade, since it involved a nascent soul-forming spiritual item, True Person Baihe would definitely not agree unless you offered a treasure of the same tier. ]

[ But during the domain war, True Person Baihe was ambushed and killed on the front lines by several demonic path true persons of the same realm. Having lost its mid-stage true person to hold the fort, Mount Baimo's Tier 3 mountain-guarding array was left useless, and the clan was ultimately breached by a squad of demonic cultivators who had invaded the Taiyuan Region... ]

[ Nascent soul-forming spiritual items offered little help to actual combat strength. Thus, before heading to the battlefield, True Person Baihe had left it behind on Mount Baimo to prevent losing it if he met an unexpected end. ]

[ 'I'll wait until that group of demonic cultivators breaches Mount Baimo, seizes the Nine Heavens Clear Wind, and retreats. Then I'll strike that squad of demonic cultivators. It'll save me time and effort...' ]

[ You pondered to yourself. ]

[ That demonic cultivator squad had two true persons at the Early Golden Core Stage, along with over a dozen late-stage and peak Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. ]

[ On the surface, they seemed incredibly difficult to deal with. The methods of demonic cultivators were already incomparably bizarre; even if this squad encountered a normal Mid Golden Core Stage true person, they had a high probability of retreating unscathed. ]

[ But you possessed the innate talent 'Natural Enemy of Demonic Cultivators'. Any demonic cultivator who encountered you would automatically be suppressed. An Early Golden Core Stage demonic path true person was only equivalent to a False Core True Person in front of you—you could suppress them effortlessly. ]

[ Most importantly, even if this matter was exposed, it wouldn't have any negative impact on you. ]

[ You were a true person of the Taiyuan Region to begin with. Killing a few invading demonic path cultivators within your own domain was practically the same as eliminating a threat for the people. ]

[ Even if the Jiuyou Region found out, they wouldn't overthink it. At most, it would only expose your Mid Golden Core Stage cultivation. ]

[ It had been nearly a hundred years since you broke through to the Core Formation Stage. Revealing that you had reached the mid-stage now only displayed the cultivation speed of a High-Grade Gold Core true person, which wasn't abrupt at all. ]

[ In truth, your foundation was already set. Even if you exposed your Flawless Gold Core aptitude, there wouldn't be any major issues. ]

[ However, the more hidden trump cards you had, the better. Unless absolutely necessary, you wouldn't reveal too much. ]

[ Before setting off, you specifically cast a hexagram for yourself. ]

[ With your Tier 3 mid-grade divination skills, when it concerned yourself, unless a Nascent Soul True Monarch secretly took action or a higher-level divination master or grandmaster obscured the heavenly secrets... ]

[ ...otherwise, it would be fundamentally impossible for anything to escape your hexagram's prediction. ]

[ "Minor fortune?" ]

[ You looked at the hexagram, quite satisfied. ]

[ Minor fortune meant that, at the very least, you wouldn't encounter any danger. ]

[ You deduced that this operation of yours should go quite smoothly. ]

[ After all, you grasped crucial intelligence and possessed absolute strength. No matter how you looked at it, it would be hard for things not to go smoothly. ]

[ Two months later, near the border territory of the Taiyuan Region. ]

[ A towering, white-colored mountain stood tall. ]

[ This towering peak was Mount Baimo, which also served as the headquarters of the Mount Baimo cultivation clan. ]

[ As a Core Formation-level faction, Mount Baimo was the absolute overlord for tens of thousands of li in radius. In terms of power, it was no weaker than Biyue Immortal City in the past. ]

[ Hundreds of li away, inside a dense forest, you had already been waiting for a long time. ]

[ "Mount Baimo... a legacy of nearly a thousand years... What a pity..." ]

[ You shook your head slightly. The cultivation world was just like this; even a Core Formation-level faction faced the danger of collapsing overnight. ]

[ 'Don't worry, I will avenge you.' ]

[ You thought to yourself. ]

[ For this operation, you only brought Xiao Hei and didn't have True Person Blood Sea accompany you. ]

[ Time flowed on, and another two months passed. ]

[ On this night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. ]

[ The defensive grand array of Mount Baimo, which originally stood tall and emitted a mighty spiritual pressure, suddenly trembled. ]

[ Immediately after, a small tear was ripped open. ]

[ If there had been a true person holding down the fort and controlling the array, this small breach would have been rapidly repaired. ]

[ Unfortunately, Mount Baimo's sole true person, True Person Baihe, had died in battle on the front lines. The entire clan was currently in mourning, rendering them unprecedentedly weak. ]

[ Furthermore, the attacking squad of demonic cultivators had come prepared, bringing restriction-breaking talismans specifically designed to counter formations. ]

[ Rumble— ]

[ Several Golden Core auras erupted. Immediately after, layers of thick black fog began to shroud Mount Baimo inside and out. ]

[ Over half a night later, dozens of auras swiftly retreated from Mount Baimo. ]

[ "This time is truly a massive haul... a massive haul..." ]

[ The two leading demonic path true persons wore expressions of wild ecstasy. ]

[ As the first batch of demonic path true persons to charge into the Taiyuan Region, they were actually taking on a huge risk. ]

[ With the slightest carelessness, they would face a siege from the true persons of the Taiyuan Region and die in a foreign land. ]

[ This was also the reason why there were only two Early Golden Core Stage true persons here. ]

[ Demonic path true persons with slightly higher strength, such as those in the mid or late stages? They simply weren't willing to stick their necks out in the first wave. ]

[ That was why these two Early Golden Core Stage true persons, who possessed the weakest strength and no real background, had been selected to lead the charge. ]

[ Of course, to pacify them and boost morale, the Jiuyou Cult had bestowed multiple treasures upon these two Golden Core true persons. They had also made a solemn promise: the more destruction they caused within the Taiyuan Region, the greater their reward would be upon their return. ]

[ Under this combination of grace and coercion, these two early-stage Golden Core demonic path true persons had mustered the courage to sneak into the Taiyuan Region with a group of late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators. ]

[ Although it was dangerous, the benefits were equally immense. ]

[ Especially tonight—kicking down the nest of a Core Formation-level faction had even netted them a nascent soul-forming spiritual item! ]

[ "Brother Yang, you can't monopolize that nascent soul-forming spiritual item!" ]

[ The gloomy-eyed demonic path true person on the left shot a cold gaze at the one on the right as he spoke. ]

[ "Relax, don't you know what kind of person I am?" ]

[ True Person Yang glanced over. Originally, he really had wanted to monopolize that nascent soul-forming spiritual item. ]

[ But alas, they were currently deep inside the Taiyuan Region, making it unsuitable to fall out with his 'teammate'. Furthermore, due to the restrictions planted by the Jiuyou Cult, he couldn't silence a fellow true person from the same cult. ]

[ Hence, he had chosen to pacify him for now. ]

[ Right at that moment— ]

[ True Person Yang's eyelids twitched violently. Inside his sea of consciousness, a pure white Gu insect suddenly let out a shrill scream. ]

[ This pure white Gu insect, its surface covered in mysterious heavenly secret patterns, exploded immediately after unleashing that piercing shriek. ]

[ "The Precognition Gu self-destructed... This, this, this..." ]

[ True Person Yang's face turned ghastly pale as his mind trembled. An unprecedented wave of despair surged into him. ]

[ The Precognition Gu was a heavenly secret wondrous item capable of foreseeing impending danger to a certain extent. ]

[ Before sneaking into the Taiyuan Region, the Jiuyou Cult had provided a list of treasures and allowed them to choose one. ]

[ True Person Yang hadn't chosen a dharma treasure, nor had he picked a talisman; instead, he had selected this Precognition Gu. ]

[ Facts proved that True Person Yang's choice had been exceedingly correct. Over the past few years, they had been able to avoid danger multiple times by relying solely on this very Precognition Gu. ]

[ The most dangerous incident was when several Mid Golden Core Stage true persons had laid a trap and set up an ambush ahead of time. ]

[ However, thanks to the Precognition Gu's scream, True Person Yang had led the demonic cultivator squad and managed to escape in time. ]

[ As a heavenly secret wondrous item, the greater the danger the Precognition Gu sensed, the more intense its scream would be. ]

[ Yet, even during that ambush by the several Mid Golden Core Stage true persons, the scream the Precognition Gu let out wasn't even a tenth as loud as it had been just now. ]

[ The shriek it had just unleashed had shaken True Person Yang's very soul, and the Gu insect had directly self-destructed and died. ]

[ One could only imagine how immense the danger True Person Yang was about to face at this moment. ]

[ "Is a Great True Person striking personally? No, even if it were a Great True Person, it wouldn't cause the Precognition Gu to explode immediately..." ]

[ True Person Yang turned his head with great difficulty to look at the other true person on his left. ]

[ "Brother Yang, what's wrong?" ]

[ The gloomy-eyed demonic path true person on the left furrowed his brows. Immediately after, he saw True Person Yang's deathly pale face as the man opened his mouth and spat out a single word toward him— ]

[ "Run!!!" ]

[ "Run?" ]

[ The gloomy-eyed demonic path true person froze for a moment. ]

[ Although he understood what True Person Yang was saying, he was somewhat baffled. ]

[ Weren't they already running? They had just annihilated Mount Baimo, so of course they had to run. ]

[ Before he could fully process it, an ocean-like barrage of spiritual sense blanketed the area they were in. ]

[ Crash— ]

[ The terrifying spiritual sense attack had almost condensed into a physical substance, faintly forming a vast ocean of spiritual sense over a half-li radius. ]

[ Including the two Golden Core demonic path true persons, the dozen or so late-stage and peak Foundation Establishment Stage demonic cultivators were utterly powerless to resist this spiritual sense attack. Their consciousness rapidly plunged into darkness. ]

[ 'A Late-Stage Great True Person... or a Nascent Soul...' ]

[ Deep within the gloomy-eyed demonic path true person's sea of consciousness, ripples emerged. He was clearly carrying a divine soul secret treasure, but under the absolute disparity in power, it couldn't hold on for even an instant before crumbling into powder. ]

[ At the same time. ]

[ A figure suddenly appeared among the group of demonic cultivators. ]

[ It was none other than you, who had just been lying in ambush nearby and had finished launching the spiritual sense sneak attack. ]

[ After revealing yourself, you slapped all the Foundation Establishment Stage demonic cultivators to death with practiced ease in a single palm strike. Then, using a Tier 3 Sealing Jade Box, you sealed away the golden cores of the two demonic path true persons. ]

[ A Golden Core true person's golden core was the condensation of all their dharma power, which was of some use to you. Furthermore, you also needed to casually perform Soul Searching on these two demonic path true persons to understand the current situation within the Jiuyou Region. ]

[ Having wiped out this demonic cultivator squad within a few breaths, a satisfied smile surfaced on your face. ]

[ "Crushing the weak is still more fun..." ]

[ You thought back to the battle against True Person Biyue not too long ago. ]

[ Even though you had made ten thousand preparations, it had still been a bitter struggle. ]

[ It was nothing like right now, where a single divine soul attack had directly eliminated all the enemies. It was simple, highly efficient, and free of any accidents or variables. ]

[ This was the whole meaning of cultivation. ]

[ Wasn't cultivating so painstakingly to reach higher realms exactly for the sake of using a superior position to crush inferiors, and using overwhelming strength to strike down the weak? ]

[ One shichen later. ]

[ You wiped away the divine souls inside the golden cores of the two demonic path true persons. ]

[ "Precognition Gu... to think he actually carried a heavenly secret wondrous item..." ]

[ Through Soul Searching, you naturally learned everything about these two demonic path true persons. ]

[ Of course, the Jiuyou Cult had placed restrictions on portions of their memories, preventing you from forcibly prying into them. ]

[ Even so, you had benefited greatly and had even learned of the Precognition Gu's existence. ]

[ Upon reaching the level of a Golden Core true person, cultivators were generally aware of the threat posed by the Hexagram Casting Art. Early Golden Core Stage true persons might have shallow foundations and thus lack defenses against it. ]

[ But true persons in the mid and late stages of the Golden Core realm would more or less have some countermeasures prepared. ]

[ True Person Biyue, for example, had prepared Heavenly Secret Purple Incense, rendering her untraceable to anyone below a Tier 4 divination grandmaster. ]

[ Other Late-Stage Great True Persons, even if they weren't as thoroughly prepared as True Person Biyue, certainly wouldn't just do nothing. ]

[ These two demonic path true persons were merely at the Early Golden Core Stage. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have had the qualifications to acquire a heavenly secret wondrous item. However, because of the great domain war, the Jiuyou Cult had wanted to set an example, which was why True Person Yang was allowed to obtain one. ]

[ "The nascent soul-forming spiritual item, Nine Heavens Clear Wind!" ]

[ You also successfully laid eyes on the target of your operation this time. ]

[ This nascent soul-forming spiritual item was stored inside a transparent jade bottle. From the outside, it looked just like a wisp of continuously blowing clear wind. ]

[ Aside from the nascent soul-forming spiritual item, the spoils from the two demonic path true persons also included Mount Baimo's entire legacy, as well as the many rare treasures they had plundered previously. ]

[ "Not bad, not bad." ]

[ You nodded slightly, in quite a good mood. ]

[ Back at Mount Baimo, the pitch-black ink clouds gradually dispersed. On the deathly silent mountain, a faint fluctuation of dharma power suddenly emerged. ]

[ A man who appeared extremely young fled outside. ]

[ This young man was none other than the Young Master of Mount Baimo. During the clan-exterminating crisis, he had been hidden away in an aura-sealing secret room by the clan elders, allowing him to evade the two demonic path true persons' search. ]

[ 'I will definitely avenge this...' ]

[ The Young Master of Mount Baimo wore an expression of utmost resentment. He had already devised a plan to borrow a knife to kill a person by publicly announcing that their clan's nascent soul-forming spiritual item had been stolen. ]

[ No matter who it was, as long as they had obtained that nascent soul-forming spiritual item, they could forget about having a moment of peace. ]

[ Buzz— ]

[ A shadowy, dark phantom arrived in an instant, piercing straight through the Young Master of Mount Baimo's head. ]
