I Have a Cultivation Simulator

Outside Jiuli Valley, the group from Corpse Raising Mountain arrived.

Gazing at Jiuli Valley from afar, the Vice Mountain Lord of Corpse Raising Mountain turned to Elder Mo beside him, unable to hold back the question. "Elder Mo, what are the chances of that Wang Lin breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage...?"

"Whether one can step into the Nascent Soul Stage depends on the heavenly tribulation. Even a Tier 4 minor divination grandmaster would find it hard to predict. How would this old man know?"

Elder Mo shot a glance at the Vice Mountain Lord and coughed.

"However, even with some sort of top-tier Nascent Soul condensation spiritual item, a High-Grade Gold Core has less than a ten percent chance of successfully breaking through to Nascent Soul. We just need to wait..."

Elder Mo closed his eyes to rest. Although the lifespan he had expended could not be recovered, resting for a while to maintain his current condition was still beneficial.

"True!"

The Vice Mountain Lord of Corpse Raising Mountain felt relieved. Even a Nascent Soul seed meticulously nurtured by a Nascent Soul-tier faction only had a thirty to forty percent chance of becoming a True Monarch.

Wang Lin had not received the meticulous nurturing of a Nascent Soul-tier faction, and on top of that, he hadn't formed a Flawless Gold Core. The likelihood of failure was simply too high.

Wait for Wang Lin to fail his Nascent Soul breakthrough, and then collect his corpse.

Once their True Monarch took control of two Tier 4 corpse puppets, the sect would effectively possess three Nascent Souls. Corpse Raising Mountain's influence in the Wujian Region would inevitably rise to another level.

More than ten days later.

The winds and clouds above Jiuli Valley suddenly surged. Endless heaven and earth spiritual energy converged toward a single location like a tidal wave.

It was as if a primordial behemoth was relentlessly swallowing vast volumes of spiritual energy.

Rumble—

The boundless heaven and earth spiritual energy instantly formed a massive spiritual energy tide. It covered an area of dozens of miles, then a hundred miles, and finally hundreds of miles.

The numerous cultivators in Jiuli Valley were immediately stunned by the phenomenon, gazing toward the center of the converging spiritual energy.

In Jiuli Valley, heaven and earth phenomena caused by Nascent Soul breakthroughs occurred every few decades. However, one with such terrifying momentum right from the start was exceedingly rare.

A normal Nascent Soul condensation phenomenon would only cover a hundred miles. Hundreds of miles? Unless one had a special inheritance, it was nearly impossible.

This meant that the cultivator attempting the breakthrough possessed a terrifyingly deep foundation, capable of instantly swallowing more spiritual energy than a normal Core Formation Perfection Stage cultivator during a Nascent Soul breakthrough.

'Such a Nascent Soul condensation phenomenon?'

True Monarch Beiheng was slightly taken aback. As a human True Monarch, even though he wasn't a dharma cultivator, he knew very well that a phenomenon of this scale was far from simple.

'Good kid!'

True Monarch Beiheng marveled inwardly. Granted, one couldn't determine if the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage would succeed just from the phenomenon's initial stage.

With this kind of phenomenon, however, passing the shattering the core to form the nascent soul phase would be completely effortless.

The three hurdles of the Nascent Soul were shattering the core to form the nascent soul, the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and the Heart Demon Tribulation.

You possessed a Third-Order Late Stage physical body, meaning there was a high probability you could survive the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation as well.

In other words, the moment the phenomenon began, True Monarch Beiheng already considered you to have basically passed the first two hurdles.

The True Monarch seeds groomed by ordinary Nascent Soul-tier factions were no better than this.

Outside Jiuli Valley, the group from Corpse Raising Mountain, who had been waiting patiently, also noticed the massive phenomenon. Their eyes instantly widened in shock.

"Such grandeur! Such grandeur!"

The Vice Mountain Lord was in disbelief. As an upper echelon member of Corpse Raising Mountain, he knew exactly what a phenomenon of this magnitude represented.

Even if he couldn't make as precise a judgment as True Monarch Beiheng, he could tell that your foundation far surpassed that of an ordinary Core Formation Perfection Stage Great True Person. It was likely on par with an authentic Nascent Soul seed.

"What are you panicking for? Even if he can pass the first two hurdles, the Heart Demon Tribulation is still waiting for him!"

Elder Mo narrowed his eyes, gazing at the phenomenon hovering over Jiuli Valley. "The Heart Demon Tribulation isn't that easy to overcome. Besides..."

"Failing during the Heart Demon Tribulation is the only way to preserve the corpse in its most perfect state..."

When a Core Formation Perfection Stage Great True Person attempted to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, failing at the shattering the core to form the nascent soul phase would cause their physical body to suffer an immense backlash.

They might survive, or they might die. In the latter case, the backlash from the shattering core would inevitably ravage their internals. Their organs would be torn to pieces, and they might even explode on the spot.

If they failed during the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, it went without saying—having any chunks of flesh left after the bombardment of heavenly lightning would be considered a blessing.

Conversely, dying to the Heart Demon Tribulation would leave the physical body completely intact, perfectly aligning with Corpse Raising Mountain's needs.

"Elder Mo makes a good point..."

The Vice Mountain Lord steadied his nerves and gave a slight nod.

Indeed, you dying to the Heart Demon Tribulation would be the best possible outcome.

Inside the Tier 4 spiritual vein cave dwelling.

During this attempt at breaking through to Nascent Soul, you could sense that the commotion and the amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy you were drawing in were much greater than your previous attempt.

You deduced that this change was likely because your Golden Core had experienced a failed breakthrough and had been reborn.

'It won't affect much.'

Your expression remained composed. Having experienced a Nascent Soul breakthrough once already, you felt no anxiety whatsoever.

'Shatter...'

You stared fixedly at the perfectly round Golden Core inside your dantian.

You then sequentially consumed the Heavenly Infant Fruit and other Nascent Soul condensation spiritual items, and absorbed the wisp of Primordial Yin Qi entrenched within your dantian.

In addition, you swallowed the Nine-Star Ancient Soul Fruit.

The Nine-Star Ancient Soul Fruit provided no direct help for condensing a Nascent Soul; its primary effects would only activate after the Nascent Soul was fully formed.

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly ten days passed.

Cracks began to surface on your Golden Core.

An aura of destruction spread, yet an aura of rebirth was simultaneously taking shape.

Finally, your Golden Core completely shattered. Streaks of Golden Core origin energy coalesced into the nascent form of an infant.

'The shattering the core to form the nascent soul phase has passed...' Seeing this, you nodded inwardly.

During this round of shattering the core to form the nascent soul, you didn't sustain even a minor injury.

Thanks to your previous experience with this phase, you had much better countermeasures in place. You calmly and methodically resolved the myriad of reactions triggered by the shattering of your Golden Core.

That was why you emerged entirely unscathed.

Experience was crucial during this phase. Most Core Formation Perfection Stage Great True Persons would panic and fail to perfectly handle the backlash of their breaking Golden Core, resulting in varying degrees of injury.

Rumble—

The moment the nascent form of your Nascent Soul coalesced, the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation rolled in.

'He shattered his core and formed the nascent soul that quickly?'

Even though he had anticipated it, True Monarch Beiheng was still extremely surprised. Completing the shattering phase in less than ten days meant the cultivator was incredibly familiar with the process and had studied a vast amount of insights left behind by other Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

A small collection of insights wouldn't grant such proficiency. Because every Nascent Soul True Monarch was different, the problems they faced and the backlash they endured during the shattering phase varied greatly.

'Now it all comes down to the Heart Demon Tribulation...'

True Monarch Beiheng reined in his thoughts. Judging by how smoothly you passed the shattering phase, you had a ninety percent chance of surviving the upcoming Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

There was essentially no suspense there.

'He passed the core shattering phase that quickly?'

Outside Jiuli Valley, panic gripped the Vice Mountain Lord of Corpse Raising Mountain.

Even though he knew the most difficult hurdle—the Heart Demon Tribulation—was still to come, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"This Wang Lin definitely has a formidable background. You shouldn't have incited the True Monarch to act against him," Elder Mo said after a moment of silence, looking at the Vice Mountain Lord.

As a minor divination master, his greatest skill lay in seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. Right now, your existence was a massive disaster for Corpse Raising Mountain.

To pass the shattering phase this smoothly, combined with a Third-Order Late Stage physical body—the odds of him ultimately reaching the Nascent Soul Stage were already approaching fifty percent.

An ordinary Nascent Soul seed wouldn't breeze through the shattering phase like this.

'Heavenly Thunder Tribulation!'

You walked out of your cave dwelling and looked up at the billowing black clouds in the sky.

Bolts of azure lightning continuously struck down.

The Nascent Soul Heavenly Thunder Tribulation consisted of nine heavenly lightning bolts.

During your fourth simulation, you had survived a complete Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, so you knew the exact intensity of all nine bolts.

Therefore, facing the tribulation this time felt entirely manageable.

Due to the differences in your Golden Core, a few variables had appeared during the shattering phase, such as the condensation phenomenon exceeding expectations.

But the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation? It was exactly identical to the one in your previous simulation.

Rumble—

Bolts of azure lightning fell in endless succession.

You attempted to endure the baptism of the heavenly lightning with your physical body alone.

Only because you knew the exact destructive power of the lightning did you dare take it head-on, intending to use it to stimulate the deep potential of your physique.

The nine heavenly lightning bolts passed in a flash.

Your body sustained considerable injuries, but it was already rapidly recovering.

'Hmm?'

Your expression shifted slightly. You faintly sensed boundless vitality surging from the depths of your breakthrough, condensing into a golden seal script.

The moment the golden seal script appeared, it fused straight into your flesh.

'A body refinement divine ability?'

Joy sparked in your heart. Enduring the heavenly lightning with your physical body had actually stimulated your potential, giving birth to a new body refinement divine ability.

However, you had no time to inspect it. You looked back toward the heavens.

The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation had ended, yet the tribulation clouds didn't scatter. Instead, they grew thicker, coalescing into wisps of a disastrous aura.

You stared at the billowing black clouds beneath the firmament...

"This exam will end in ten minutes. Candidates, please carefully check the information on your answer sheets."

The invigilator's voice suddenly rang in your ears.

'Where am I?'

You sat at the desk, looking at the answer sheet and test paper in front of you. For a moment, you felt like you had forgotten something.

You couldn't shake the feeling that you shouldn't be here, that you had something far more important to do.

'This is Blue Star. I'm taking the college entrance exam right now. This exam is crucial; it determines my future...' You thought carefully, but your frown deepened.

'No, why is the test paper completely blank? Why haven't I answered a single question?'

You faintly sensed an icy aura continuously washing over you.

'An icy aura...'

You tried to sense more of this icy aura, realizing it was vital to you.

'So it's... my Unyielding Will...'

A moment later, you slowly opened your eyes, your gaze profound. "My name is Cong Qing. I am attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm right now. This is the Heart Demon Tribulation..."

You muttered to yourself, your voice growing louder.

"Candidate, please observe exam room rules..."

The two invigilators looked toward you, about to issue a reprimand.

But the next moment, everything completely dissipated.

"Hahahaha! Wang Lin, hand over your physical body!"

A burst of wild laughter rang out as True Monarch Yinxiao, shrouded in mist, strode forward.

True Monarch Beiheng stood to the side with a cold sneer, seemingly joining forces with True Monarch Yinxiao to suppress you together.

'Another layer of the heart demon world?'

You quickly realized what was happening. After breaking free from the first layer, your Unyielding Will's influence grew stronger, allowing you to instantly perceive that you were still trapped within a heart demon world.

"Wang Lin, hand over your fortuitous encounter, and I'll spare your life..." A terrifying aura closed in from behind.

'Pursued by a Late Nascent Soul Stage great cultivator...' You looked terrified. Even with a Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivation base, you could only run for your life before the overwhelming might of a great cultivator.

'Wait, why shouldn't I just hand over the fortuitous encounter?' You paused. Feeling the icy aura nearly enveloping you, you immediately snapped back to reality.

Given your personality, if you had actually obtained some treasure and were chased by a Late Nascent Soul Stage great cultivator, you would most likely just hand the treasure over immediately.

To you, treasures could always wait until the next simulation. You could acquire them under much better circumstances; there was no need to draw the deadly pursuit of a Late Nascent Soul Stage great cultivator.

Crash—

The surrounding world shattered once more.

Layer after layer of heart demon worlds continuously descended to envelop you, yet you rapidly broke free from each one.

In this simulation, your state of mind had improved tremendously. You constantly comprehended the Lotus Heart Seed, experiencing the lotus state of mind. Combined with the mental tempering you underwent in the Purgatory Forest and your Unyielding Will... the heart demon worlds couldn't make you sink into them even slightly.

Often, the moment a heart demon world formed, you saw right through it.

The billowing black clouds rapidly dispersed, and the faint traces of disastrous aura swiftly melted away.

It was like the sun breaking through after the rain.

Five-colored glowing clouds bloomed, gathering above Jiuli Valley to form a vast expanse of auspicious clouds.

This was the sign of successfully passing the three Nascent Soul tribulations. It meant the birth of a new True Monarch.

You sat cross-legged and slowly opened your eyes.

'The Heart Demon Tribulation... has been passed...'

A sense of enlightenment rose in your heart. Feeling the aura of the real world, you were certain that you were no longer in the heart demon world.

The heart demon world had a distinct difference from the real world. However, bound by their delusions, most cultivators immersed within it never noticed.

'Nascent Soul!'

You looked inward at your dantian and saw a chubby infant fully formed, surging with spiritual pressure that far exceeded the Core Formation Perfection Stage.

Silver seal scripts flashed across the chubby infant's surface, radiating an incredibly mysterious and profound aura.

Outside Jiuli Valley.

Looking at the five-colored auspicious clouds appearing in the sky far above Jiuli Valley...

The emaciated Elder Mo immediately stood up and quickly fled away from Jiuli Valley.

The Vice Mountain Lord of Corpse Raising Mountain and the others also fled in a panic. You had already ascended to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, establishing yourself as one of the rulers of the Wujian Region. If they dared to linger here and were discovered by you, they feared even True Monarch Yinxiao wouldn't be able to protect them.
