I Have a Cultivation Simulator

[Wujian Domain, Chiwu Immortal City, Trans-domain Teleportation Array]

[Wisps of spatial fluctuation emerged, the void faintly distorting.]

[Whoosh!]

[A distorted door of light formed above the trans-domain teleportation array.]

[A figure immediately stumbled out from within.]

["So this is what trans-domain teleportation feels like?"]

[You steadied yourself. Rather than encountering the infinitesimally rare spatial storm, you had smoothly teleported from the Zixiao Domain to the Wujian Domain.]

[This came as no surprise. Before stepping onto the trans-domain teleportation array, you had expended a month of your lifespan to perform a divination on your fortune.]

[Your Divination had already reached the Third-Order High-Grade. Combined with the sacrifice of a month's lifespan, its accuracy went without saying.]

[Simply put, the hexagram indicated you would arrive in the Wujian Domain without a hitch.]

[This gave you the confidence to use the trans-domain teleportation array.]

[The simulation had only just begun, and you had too much left to do. Naturally, you wouldn't allow yourself to die during a trans-domain teleportation.]

["They say true persons using a trans-domain teleportation array for the first time experience all sorts of discomfort, but I feel fine."]

[You thought to yourself. You had indeed felt an inexplicable spatial pressure during the teleportation, but relying on your Third-Order Late Stage physical body, you had easily withstood it.]

["Wujian Domain!"]

[You looked around, your gaze sweeping over one true person after another.]

[Generally, only Core Formation Stage true persons and true lords would ride a trans-domain teleportation array.]

[As for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators? First, they couldn't afford the exorbitant spirit stone fee.]

[Second, teleportation subjected travelers to spatial pressure that Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators might not survive.]

[That was why a single glance revealed only Core Formation Stage true persons.]

[The trans-domain teleportation area basically only saw traffic from Core Formation Stage true persons.]

["Eight in the Early Core Formation Stage, sixteen in the Mid Core Formation Stage, three in the Late Core Formation Stage..."]

[You were secretly shocked. In the Taiyuan Region, Late Core Formation Stage Great True Persons were a rare sight, yet here, you spotted three just by looking around.]

[Of course, this might simply be because anyone qualified to ride a trans-domain teleportation array was considered powerful even among Core Formation Stage true persons.]

[As a result, the concentration of late-stage Great True Persons was naturally higher.]

["Heavenly secrets..."]

[Having just arrived in the Wujian Domain, your first action was to sense the ethereal, overarching net of heavenly secrets.]

["Hmm?"]

[You faintly sensed that the heavenly secret net of the Wujian Domain was far more obscure than that of the Taiyuan Region and the surrounding large domains.]

["This is the influence of a Tier 4 Divination grandmaster..."]

[Your expression turned solemn as you gazed far off into the distance.]

[This was a layer only a Divination master could perceive. Extremely far in that direction lay the core of the Wujian Domain's omnipresent heavenly secret net. There, an entity resided whose every movement rippled through the net enveloping the entire domain.]

[A Divination grandmaster!]

[You couldn't imagine any entity other than a Divination grandmaster influencing the heavenly secret net to such a degree.]

["That's where Wujian Hall is located..."]

[Your thoughts raced. Wujian Hall having a Tier 4 Divination grandmaster overseeing it was intelligence you hadn't obtained before.]

[The ruling faction of the Wujian Domain was Wujian Hall, overseen by a Mid Nascent Soul Stage true lord and several at the Early Nascent Soul Stage.]

[Beneath Wujian Hall were four major Nascent Soul tier factions: the Chiwu Sect, Corpse Raising Mountain, Jiuli Valley, and the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.]

[The Chiwu Sect followed the lineage of the ancient Crimson Crow. Its cultivators possessed explosive tempers and were decisive in killing. The Chiwu Immortal City you were currently standing in was one of many controlled by the Chiwu Sect.]

[Corpse Raising Mountain was a sect carrying the legacy of corpse cultivators, focusing on refining and raising corpses—a heterodox path.]

[Jiuli Valley was a body cultivation sect. Ever since the end of the ancient era and the subsequent depletion of worldly resources, the body cultivation lineage had fallen into thorough decline.]

[However, this was only a decline, not extinction. While there were no pure body cultivation sects around the Taiyuan Region, Jiuli Valley in the Wujian Domain still walked that path.]

[Finally, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce was a colossal merchant guild that connected the trade routes between the Wujian Domain, the surrounding large domains, and even the super domains.]

[Unlike the strict sects, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce was highly inclusive.]

[Numerous pieces of intelligence concerning the Wujian Domain flashed through your mind.]

[You had gathered this intelligence during your previous simulation. While there might be minor discrepancies, the general framework shouldn't contain any major errors.]

["That mysterious place in the Wujian Domain, Purgatory Forest, is controlled by the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce..."]

[You thought to yourself.]

[The Wujian Domain was rich in resources. Even during the ancient era, this region had been quite prosperous and contained numerous mysterious locations.]

[Purgatory Forest was one of them, filled with countless illusions.]

[Many Core Formation Stage true persons would enter the depths of Purgatory Forest to train and temper their state of mind.]

[Your primary goal in coming to the Wujian Domain this time was exactly this mysterious Purgatory Forest.]

["The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce?"]

[You felt slightly relieved. If Purgatory Forest were in the hands of the other sects, getting inside definitely wouldn't be easy.]

[But the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce? Because they were a merchant guild, access would simply be a matter of spirit stones.]

["Chiwu Immortal City is extremely prosperous due to the trans-domain teleportation array, gathering numerous true persons from distant large domains..."]

[You walked out of the teleportation area, planning to stroll around while you were here.]

[Because you had cleansed the bandit cultivators, demonic cultivators, and evil cultivators from the wilderness regions near the Taiyuan Region, you were quite wealthy. If you came across any appealing materials, you would naturally buy them.]

[Over the next month, at a medium-sized auction in Chiwu Immortal City, you frequently made bids, purchasing several Tier 3 treasures and resources.]

[In addition, you visited several large shops.]

[By the time you prepared to leave Chiwu Immortal City for Purgatory Forest, you vaguely sensed several hidden streams of divine sense locking onto you.]

["Sigh, do I really look that easy to bully?"]

[You shook your head inwardly, doing your best to maintain the mana aura of a Mid Core Formation Stage cultivator.]

[Your high-profile purchases at the auction had inevitably attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives.]

[Seeing that you possessed such wealth with only a Mid Golden Core Stage cultivation, these people would definitely harbor other thoughts.]

[Killing for treasure was all too common in the cultivation world. In the Taiyuan Region, a Mid Core Formation Stage cultivation was enough to deter a whole area, but the Wujian Domain had no shortage of Mid Core Formation Stage true persons.]

["Hopefully, I can catch a few big fish..."]

[You thought to yourself. The cultivation strength you had chosen to reveal was carefully calculated.]

[If it had been slightly stronger, at the Late Core Formation Stage, it would have deterred the vast majority of voyeurs.]

[Even in the Wujian Domain, Late Core Formation Stage grand cultivators were considered experts second only to true lords. Ordinary bandit cultivators lacked the capability to target such true persons.]

[But if it had been slightly weaker, at only the Early Core Formation Stage? True persons weren't fools. Daring to flaunt such wealth at an auction with merely an Early Core Formation Stage cultivation would reek of a trap, scaring off another large swathe of people.]

[The Mid Core Formation Stage cultivation was neither too high nor too low; it was just right.]

[The reason you did this was naturally because you wanted to obtain detailed intelligence about the Wujian Domain as quickly as possible.]

[And the fastest method was none other than direct Soul Searching.]

[However, how could Soul Searching a Core Formation true person be easy?]

[If you targeted a Core Formation true person with a powerful background, direct Soul Searching would only forge a blood feud.]

[In the Wujian Domain, due to that Divination grandmaster, the difficulty of your divinations had increased significantly.]

[Coupled with the fact that there were a full five Nascent Soul tier factions here, including Wujian Hall, a significant portion of Core Formation true persons had varying degrees of connection to them, further interfering with your divinations.]

[Thus, you decided to resort to entrapment, taking the initiative to bait some Core Formation true persons into attacking you.]

[Then, when you struck back, it would be classified as self-defense.]

[That way, even if the matter was exposed later, you would still have room to mitigate the fallout.]

[You swaggered out of Chiwu Immortal City.]

[More than half an hour later, out in the wilderness, you vaguely sensed the auras of your pursuers trailing behind.]

["Four true persons, all Mid Core Formation Stage, and one of them is even at the peak of the Mid Core Formation Stage?"]

[You estimated inwardly. With your current strength, you could easily sweep them away even if they were four Late Core Formation Stage Great True Persons.]

[One or two hundred li away, four streaks of light flew at extreme speeds.]

[These four streaks of light were naturally the four mid-stage true persons tracking you.]

[The leading streak of light belonged to a purple-haired man. His mana was abundant, faintly approaching the Late Core Formation Stage.]

["Big Brother, we've thoroughly investigated this person. A month ago, he arrived in Chiwu Immortal City via the trans-domain teleportation array, and then began frequenting the major shops to purchase spiritual materials..."]

[Behind the purple-haired man, a mid-stage true person said rapidly, "This person shouldn't be a cultivator from the Wujian Domain... To have such vast wealth at merely the mid-stage, he likely has a powerful background in his home domain..."]

[The wealth you had displayed over the past month was no less than that of a Late Core Formation Stage Great True Person.]

["What does his home domain background matter once he's in our Wujian Domain?"]

[Another Mid Core Formation Stage true person sneered. Even if he were a disciple of a Nascent Soul tier faction from another large domain, he would still have to keep his head down here.]

["When we strike, don't hold back. We must finish him off as quickly as possible."]

[The purple-haired man warned. A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a hare. Who knew if you possessed hidden trump cards, such as Third-Order High-Grade talismans?]

["Understood!"]

[The three Mid Core Formation Stage true persons nodded.]

[As powerful as Core Formation Stage true persons were, earning enough resources for their cultivation wasn't easy without a profound craft.]

[There were many true persons in the Wujian Domain, and the competitive pressure among them was immense.]

["We'll wait another two hours until we are far away from Chiwu Immortal City before making our move!"]

[The purple-haired man spoke, finalizing the time to strike.]

[Distancing themselves from Chiwu Immortal City would avoid detection by the city's cultivators and prevent any true persons entering or leaving the city from passing by.]

[This would ensure no clues were left behind.]

[This was also the experience the purple-haired man had gained from secretly acting as a bandit cultivator for so many years.]

[The act of killing for treasure could absolutely never be brought out into the open.]

["Still hanging back?"]

[You flew leisurely at the normal speed of a mid-stage true person. Glancing back, you immediately grasped the intentions of those four mid-stage true persons. "Want to wait until we're further away before making a move?"]

["Hmm? There's also a Late-Stage Great True Person following from even further away?"]

[Your expression grew slightly solemn. Three to four hundred li away, an extremely concealed aura was closing in.]

[Three to four hundred li away? That was beyond the perception range of your divine sense. You only managed to detect the subtle clues by relying on an investigative secret art.]

["Sigh, the security in the Wujian Domain really isn't up to par..."]

[You lamented inwardly. Just by revealing a little wealth, you had drawn the greed of so many mid-stage true persons, and even a Late-Stage Great True Person.]

[You flew for another two hours.]

[A gray valley appeared ahead.]

[Feigning slight exhaustion, you entered the valley to rest.]

[Before long, the purple-haired man and the other three figures approached silently.]

[To avoid being detected by your divine sense, the four mid-stage true persons led by the purple-haired man kept their auras faint and imperceptible. They didn't even dare to release their divine sense, fearing they might beat the grass and startle the snake, giving you time to prepare.]

["The tracking secret art shows that he's right inside. He should be resting to recover his spent mana."]

[One of the mid-stage true persons spoke in a low voice.]

["Once we go in, use that method directly, understand?"]

[The purple-haired man glanced at the three mid-stage true persons. They had mastered a certain joint attack secret art. Once unleashed, it could just barely match the strength of a Late-Stage Great True Person.]

["Got it!"]

[The three mid-stage true persons nodded.]

[Following that, led by the purple-haired man, the four mid-stage true persons dashed into the gray valley in an instant.]

[A short while later, another concealed aura drew near.]

[This was an old man in black robes, his gaze chilling as he stared at the valley.]

["Zisui and his three companions should have already gone in and taken that brat down. If I sneak in right now, I can reap the fisherman's profit..."]

[A hint of smugness surfaced on the black-robed old man's face.]

[He didn't just have his eyes on you, but also on the four mid-stage true persons led by the purple-haired man.]

[Your wealth was comparable to an ordinary Late-Stage Great True Person's. Coupled with the four mid-stage true persons, it was entirely worth it for a Late-Stage Great True Person like him to make a move.]

[The black-robed old man was just preparing to enter the gray valley and clean up the mess.]

[Suddenly, the black-robed old man furrowed his brows slightly. "Even if Zisui and the other three were fully prepared, there hasn't been a single sound from the valley so far..."]

[In the black-robed old man's eyes, you were ultimately a mid-stage true person. Even facing a siege by four true persons of the same realm, you should have at least managed to create a little commotion.]

[Even for a Late-Stage Great True Person like him, it would be impossible to kill a mid-stage true person without making any noise at all.]

[Yet right now, the gray valley was deathly still, without the slightest sound coming from within.]

["Something's wrong!"]

[The black-robed old man hesitated inwardly, and the step he had taken toward the gray valley's entrance ground to a halt.]

[Right at this moment.]

[Buzz—]

[A giant hand condensed entirely of mana appeared out of thin air. Under the black-robed old man's horrified gaze, it slowly clamped around him.]

[The black-robed old man struggled desperately, unleashing terrifying mana fluctuations, but it was all meaningless.]

[He could only watch helplessly as the giant mana hand swiftly dragged him into the gray valley.]
