I Have a Cultivation Simulator

"Thank you, True Monarch."

You immediately expressed your gratitude.

With this token, you could walk practically unhindered—not just in the Wujian Domain, but even in the distant Taiyuan Region. Unless you truly angered a Nascent Soul True Monarch, you would not face any life-threatening danger.

Even if True Monarch Beiheng couldn't compare to True Monarch Chongtian of the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty, his prestige was more than enough to make an Early Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch wary.

"If you ever encounter true danger, you can crush this token, and I will know immediately."

True Monarch Beiheng waved his hand. "Leave now."

Leaving Jiuli Valley, you immediately set off for Chiwu Immortal City.

'It seems True Person Blood Sea is still alive, and in good condition...'

You attempted Divination on True Person Blood Sea, deducing that your arrangements in the Taiyuan Region should be proceeding smoothly.

As long as his condition remained good, it meant he had encountered no danger, and your instructions were still being carried out.

As for Li Yan, according to the Divination hexagram, she was also perfectly safe.

This was exactly as expected.

Before leaving the Taiyuan Region, you had left her enough cultivation resources for the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage.

There was no need for Li Yan to ever leave her retreat.

The route between Jiuli Valley and Chiwu Immortal City required passing by Corpse Raising Mountain.

You deliberately took a wide detour to avoid passing directly through their territory.

You had little goodwill toward this Nascent Soul-level faction. Not only did they covet your physical body, but they had also dared to leave a corpse Qi brand on you.

What were they trying to do?

You speculated that, to Corpse Raising Mountain, your physical body was far more tempting than the corpse of an ordinary Third-Order Late Stage body cultivator.

You had an abundance of lifespan and surging origin essence. If Corpse Raising Mountain obtained your body intact, they could potentially nurture it into a Tier 4 corpse puppet.

Even between two Third-Order Late Stage bodies, the value of a decayed, elderly corpse and one in its absolute prime was naturally worlds apart.

You arrived safely at Chiwu Immortal City. After paying a teleportation fee of one million spirit stones, you returned once more to the Zixiao Domain.

Having stayed in the Wujian Domain for over forty years this time, your harvest had been immense.

Not only had you familiarized yourself with the sinking sensation of the inner demon illusion, but you had also successfully joined a reliable faction.

This provided you with a stable spiritual vein dojo for after you stepped into the Nascent Soul realm.

One had to know that for cultivation in the Nascent Soul realm, a Tier 4 spiritual vein dojo was indispensable.

If you could become a True Monarch, you would directly enjoy the treatment of a supreme elder in Jiuli Valley.

This was countless times better than searching the desolate wilderness for a Tier 4 spiritual vein yourself, and then paying an exorbitant price to comb and stabilize its spiritual energy.

The Wujian Domain was vast and rich in resources. If you chose to find an unowned Tier 4 spiritual vein on your own, what would you do for other Nascent Soul cultivation resources?

True Monarch Zixu had stepped into the Nascent Soul realm before he was two hundred years old, yet even at eight hundred, he remained stuck at the Early Nascent Soul Stage. This had a lot to do with him obstinately guarding the Taiyuan Region.

If True Monarch Zixu had chosen to venture out into the bustling great domains to acquire the key resources for Nascent Soul cultivation, he might have had a slim hope of breaking through to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage.

Of course, had he made that choice, True Monarch Zixu might not have lived to eight hundred.

In the bustling super domains, there was always the possibility of a True Monarch perishing.

If a Mid Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch attacked, an ordinary Early Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch would very likely have to abandon their physical body and flee with their Nascent Soul.

If their luck was poor, even their Nascent Soul might be captured alive.

A month later, you arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest spiritual vein dojo.

The place had already been converted into a Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce stronghold. True Person Blood Sea was waiting for you respectfully.

"Xiao Hei?"

You glanced at Xiao Hei soaring high in the sky and beckoned with your right hand.

The Tier 2 Dark Demonic Eagle fell uncontrollably and landed right in front of you.

In this simulation, you hadn't had the time to go to Wushan Market to retrieve Xiao Hei at the correct juncture.

Thus, you had let True Person Blood Sea fetch Xiao Hei on your behalf.

Over these years, True Person Blood Sea had been nurturing Xiao Hei exactly according to the cultivation methods you left behind.

You extended your spiritual sense and smoothly established a master-servant spirit contract with Xiao Hei.

Then, you walked up to the main seat in the stronghold and listened to True Person Blood Sea's report.

So far, the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce had developed quite smoothly.

Although without you holding down the fort, its momentum wasn't as strong as during the same period in the previous simulation.

However, you were already quite satisfied.

"Greetings, President..."

Below the dais in the stronghold, numerous core members of the chamber bowed respectfully toward you.

Your gaze swept over them, pausing briefly on a young man.

This young man was, naturally, Ye Feng.

In this simulation, you weren't lacking Core Formation Spiritual Items, so there was naturally no need to sell Ye Feng off in exchange for Core Formation resources.

Therefore, you directly brought Ye Feng under complete control, taking him as a subordinate to serve and risk his life for you.

Ye Feng possessed the talent of a treasure body, meaning his hopes of stepping into the Core Formation Stage were not low.

Next.

You collected all the profits the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce had accumulated over the past forty-plus years.

This was also one of the goals of your return trip to the Taiyuan Region.

Based on your experience from the previous simulation, the profits the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce generated were absolutely enough to make an ordinary Late-Stage Great True Person of the Core Formation Stage green with envy.

And this was even before the era of the Two Regions War.

If it entered the phase of reaping a massive fortune from the war, the vast wealth it earned would be enough to catch a True Monarch's eye.

In the fourth simulation, how had you been able to cultivate multiple craft arts to the Third-Order High-Grade while keeping up with your cultivation?

Alchemy, formation arrays, talisman making, puppetry... which of these arts did not require a mountain of wealth to push forward?

To some extent, your mastery of Third-Order High-Grade arts had been forced upward precisely by relying on massive amounts of resources.

Even Divination, an art infamous for draining one's lifespan, still required purchasing numerous Divination lineages, exotic divination items, and more, expending vast amounts of resources and spirit stones.

Half a month later, you left the Taiyuan Region and returned to your cave mansion in the desolate wilderness.

Rumble—

The Tier 3 grand formation opened on its own. Li Yan, who was in the midst of comprehending the path of music, looked up at you, her face filled with joyous surprise.

"Master..." Li Yan immediately threw herself into your arms.

Having not seen you for over forty years, Li Yan's longing for you had only grown more intense.

"Yan'er's musical arts have actually reached Tier 3?" You looked at Li Yan in deep astonishment.

Currently, Li Yan was only at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, yet her musical arts were already at Tier 3?

"Yan'er had a very smooth time comprehending the insights Master left behind. Without realizing it, my art reached Tier 3..." Li Yan said, her voice soft and sweet.

"Yan'er is truly amazing."

You immediately held Li Yan close, sharing a moment of intimacy.

Of course, you didn't take the final step.

In this simulation, you planned to wait until Li Yan stepped into the Core Formation Stage before taking her first wisp of Primordial Yin Qi.

The Primordial Yin Qi of a Core Formation Stage Primordial Yin Treasure Physique would provide significant benefits for your breakthrough to Nascent Soul, equivalent to a Nascent Soul condensation spiritual item.

Year forty-five. You were sixty-two years old.

Li Yan cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Perfected Stage and began her attempt to break through to Core Formation.

You had long prepared Core Formation Spiritual Items for her.

Li Yan successfully stepped into the Core Formation Stage.

Just like in the previous simulation, the Golden Core she formed was a High-Grade Gold Core.

You felt quite a bit of pity about this. If Li Yan had been able to form a Flawless Gold Core, her hopes of advancing to Nascent Soul in the future would have increased slightly.

However, a Flawless Gold Core... was not so easily formed. Even you had barely managed to form a Flawless Gold Core back then by relying on an ancient-era Gold Core Formation Pill.

After Li Yan stepped into the Core Formation Stage, you didn't immediately choose to take her first wisp of Primordial Yin Qi.

The longer the Primordial Yin Qi of a Primordial Yin Treasure Physique was nurtured, the better its effects would be.

It would still be some time before you made your attempt at the Nascent Soul realm.

Naturally, you planned to take that Primordial Yin Qi right before you broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Year fifty. You were sixty-seven years old.

You began making arrangements for Profound King Island.

In this simulation, you did not intend to break through to Nascent Soul on Profound King Island, so naturally, there was no need for you to enter the island personally.

You dispatched True Person Blood Sea to oversee Profound King Island.

As for the Taiyuan Region... you would occasionally head there in person to oversee everything.

Your former competitor, True Person Dongsha, was naturally dealt with in passing once you found a suitable opportunity.

Year sixty. You were seventy-seven years old.

Your mastery of poison arts stepped into the Third-Order High-Grade.

Ever since you learned that a mysterious Tier 3 poison master in the Jiuyou Region had concocted a Tier 3 spiritual poison that left numerous Core Formation True Persons in the Taiyuan Region helpless, you had grown quite interested in the poison arts.

By comprehending the poison arts, you weren't looking to create any world-shaking poisons; at the very least, you wanted the ability to resist a poison master's methods, ensuring you wouldn't be caught off guard.

Year seventy. You were eighty-seven years old.

Your subordinate, Ye Feng, successfully stepped into the Core Formation Stage and formed a High-Grade Gold Core.

You felt very at ease with Ye Feng because the method you used to control him was the Demon Planting Art.

This secret technique had numerous restrictions, but its reliability was exceedingly high. Ye Feng viewed you as his master and would never generate a single thought of rebellion.

After Ye Feng stepped into the Core Formation Stage, you hosted a core formation celebration in his name, aggressively raking in a massive fortune.

Afterward, you had him hold the fort in the Taiyuan Region for the long term.

"The great region war..."

You sat cross-legged inside your spiritual vein cave mansion in the desolate wilderness, your gaze looking far off toward the Taiyuan Region and the Jiuyou Region.

There were just over ten years left until the predetermined great region war would occur.

To be exact, in twelve years, the great region war would begin with True Lord Seven Fiends devouring an entire city of cultivators.

Year seventy-five. You were ninety-two years old.

You set out for the Zixiao Domain.

You had two goals for this trip to the Zixiao Domain.

The first was for True Person Biyue.

After True Lord Seven Fiends devoured the city, True Person Biyue would hide in a certain mortal town within the Zixiao Domain.

This was the result you obtained through Divination during your fourth simulation at the cost of a hundred years of your lifespan.

The second was for the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage.

The Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage were located in the Zixiao Domain. In your previous simulation, you had obtained clear intelligence that the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage would open temporarily for a brief period in the near future.

You did not plan to explore the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage yourself.

True, it would not be an exaggeration to call your current strength invincible beneath the True Monarch realm.

But who knew what kind of dangers lay within the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage?

Your goal was to lead the many cultivators under the chamber's command, have them enter the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage during that time frame to explore, and find the subsequent chapters of the Mountain Sea Art for you.

You had performed Soul Searching on True Person Blood Sea and knew the general circumstances from back when he and the True Person sect master of the Mountain and Sea Sect had fallen into the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage.

Using True Person Blood Sea's memories, you mapped out a rough outline of the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage, which you would then give to the chamber's cultivators, instructing them to focus their search on a few specific locations.

A year later, you led nearly a third of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce's elite cultivators, waiting patiently at a specific location outside the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage.

Rumble—

The Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage opened right on schedule.

In the previous simulation, because the location of the Ruins' opening had been so remote, very few cultivators had managed to catch it at the right time.

But now, with your advance preparations, a large number of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce's elite cultivators entered immediately in an orderly fashion.

You watched as the many chamber cultivators walked into the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage.

According to your experience from the previous simulation, the cultivators who entered wouldn't emerge for more than twenty years.

The Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage contained a separate world within, and cultivators who fell into it were often trapped for a period of time.

"In twenty years!"

You reeled in your thoughts. In twenty years, you would either step into the Nascent Soul realm, or fail your breakthrough, and your body would die and the Dao perish.

Year eighty. You were ninety-seven years old.

Having set up your plans for the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage ahead of time, the next step was simply to wait for True Person Biyue to arrive.

You did not wait near Donglai Town, where True Person Biyue would soon hide, worried that your presence might cause an unforeseen variable and lead her to choose another hiding spot.

The place you waited was fully a hundred thousand li away from Donglai Town.

Year eighty-two. You were ninety-nine years old.

You raised your head and glanced toward the direction of Biyue Immortal City in the Taiyuan Region.

You knew that at this very moment, True Lord Seven Fiends had already appeared above Biyue Immortal City.

The great region war was about to begin.

Year eighty-four. You were one hundred and one years old.

You approached Donglai Town.

In your previous simulation, you had set out for Donglai Town at this exact time.

In this simulation, to ensure no extra variables were introduced, you neither went early nor delayed your trip.

In Donglai Town, Granny Hua, the disguise True Person Biyue had assumed, walked slowly down the town street, seemingly frail and weak-eyed, greeting her neighbors from time to time.

Having hidden in Donglai Town for over a year, True Person Biyue had mostly adapted to her current identity. She planned to wait another ten years for the heat to die down outside before using the Zixiao Domain's cross-domain teleportation array to travel to a distant, prosperous region.

'Nascent Soul...'

True Person Biyue sighed inwardly. By obtaining a top-tier Nascent Soul condensation spiritual item like the Heavenly Infant Fruit, her hopes of forming a Nascent Soul were far greater than those of other Core Formation Perfection Stage True Persons.

"Hm?"

Right at that moment, Granny Hua—True Person Biyue in disguise—suddenly froze.

Standing directly in front of her was a young man in a green robe, his hands clasped behind his back.

True Person Biyue had never seen this green-robed young man before, nor had he ever appeared in the small town.

However, before True Person Biyue could even react—

A soul attack descended with a thunderous crash.

Deep within True Person Biyue's sea of consciousness, that jade tablet immediately exploded.

"True Monarch..."

With a bitter smile remaining on her lips, True Person Biyue's consciousness rapidly plunged into darkness.

You stepped forward and gently caught True Person Biyue. At the same time, you skillfully slipped off her storage ring and found the Heavenly Infant Fruit inside.

"The Heavenly Infant Fruit!"

You stared at the Heavenly Infant Fruit, your mind invigorated.

Obtaining this top-tier Nascent Soul condensation spiritual item meant that your path to the Nascent Soul realm was right before your eyes.

At this moment, you had only one thought in mind.

Return to Jiuli Valley and attempt the Nascent Soul realm once again.
