I Have a Cultivation Simulator

'A pity my body cultivation realm is only at the Third-Order Late Stage.'

'If I could just break through to the level of a Rank 4 Body Cultivation true lord... with this divine ability, what true lord of the same realm would dare clash with me head-on for an entire day?'

You sighed inwardly.

For an entire day, you wouldn't have to worry about depleting your Qi and Blood. How exhilarating would it be to recklessly unleash all kinds of immensely taxing body cultivation techniques?

'Why is the awakened divine ability Qi and Blood, and not dharma power...?'

You felt a touch of greed, completely ignoring that this was a body cultivation divine ability, not one for dharma cultivation.

'Rank 4 Body Cultivation...' Because of the Qi and Blood divine ability, you began to ponder how exactly to break through to the Rank 4 Body Cultivation realm.

Currently, you were only at the Third-Order Late Stage in body cultivation. There was still some distance to go before reaching the Third-Order Perfected Stage.

With Jiuli Valley's resources—such as the Extreme Cold Deep Pool—you had no doubt you would cultivate to the Third-Order Perfected Stage.

The power of the Tier 4 body cultivation tribulation far exceeded the Nascent Soul Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, so you naturally had to be extremely cautious.

It would be a joke if you didn't die at the hands of some mid-stage true lord, only to perish under the Tier 4 tribulation.

'It would be best to observe a few Third-Order Perfected Stage body cultivators attempt the breakthrough to Tier 4 and face their heavenly tribulations...'

You pondered silently. A Tier 4 body cultivation tribulation was incredibly rare elsewhere, but in Jiuli Valley... while not common, one basically occurred every few decades to a century.

Currently, Jiuli Valley had as many as seven body cultivators between the Third-Order Late Stage and the Third-Order Perfected Stage. Over the next few centuries, these seven would successively attempt to undergo the Tier 4 body cultivation tribulation.

You could easily take the opportunity to gather experience.

As for the Heart Demon Tribulation that followed the Tier 4 heavenly tribulation... with your prior experience of passing the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation, overcoming a body cultivation Heart Demon Tribulation would be far too simple.

A body cultivator's Heart Demon Tribulation was inherently weaker than that of a dharma cultivator.

Having finished inspecting your condition, you glanced outside, slowly stood up, and walked out of the cave abode.

You knew very well that the phenomena from breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage were obvious and had long been noticed by the outside world. True Monarch Beiheng had likely been waiting for you for quite some time by now.

True Monarch Beiheng hadn't sold you out to Corpse Raising Mountain. Moreover, to ensure your safety, he had personally gone to Chiwu Immortal City to escort you.

Even without True Monarch Beiheng, Corpse Raising Mountain's meager manpower couldn't have done anything to you, but his gesture at least showed how highly he valued you.

Naturally, you didn't mind returning the favor.

'Corpse Raising Mountain...'

Back in Chiwu Immortal City, you had sacrificed over a month of lifespan to perform Divination regarding Corpse Raising Mountain. You knew they would set up an ambush along your path, and that even after you safely reached Jiuli Valley, they wouldn't give up, choosing instead to wait outside.

Before breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, you hadn't bothered dealing with those people; after all, nothing was more important than stepping into the Nascent Soul Stage.

But now?

It was time to find the people from Corpse Raising Mountain and collect some interest.

You stepped out of the Tier 4 cave abode.

A crowd of cultivators was already waiting outside.

The moment you emerged, every single cultivator bowed deeply in greeting.

"Congratulations, True Monarch!"

"Congratulations on stepping onto the Great Dao of the Nascent Soul, True Monarch!"

"Congratulations, True Monarch!"

Cultivator after cultivator—from the Core Formation Perfection Stage and Third-Order Perfected Stage down to Tier 1 and Qi Refining—bowed to you in respect.

"True Monarch!"

Dongfang Kun also bowed respectfully.

Before you broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he could interact with you as an equal, relying on his status as True Monarch Beiheng's descendant.

But now? You had entered the Nascent Soul Stage and taken your seat as a true lord. The gap between you and him was like the difference between clouds and mud.

No matter where it was, a dharma cultivation true lord, a body cultivation true lord, or a true lord of any other lineage was always the sovereign of a vast domain.

Those below true lords were like ants. In the near-ancient era, with Deity Transformation Heavenly Monarchs failing to emerge, Nascent Soul True Monarchs were considered the absolute ceiling.

An Early Nascent Soul Stage true lord? Unless they ran into a late-stage Great Cultivator, it was exceedingly difficult for them to encounter a certain-death situation.

"Rise, everyone. There's no need to stand on ceremony."

You raised a hand slightly, looking down at the respectful Jiuli Valley cultivators, and profoundly experienced the overlooking perspective of a true lord.

The pursuit of five simulations had finally been realized in this moment, filling you with absolute contentment.

"Fellow Daoist's foundation truly commands a new level of respect!"

True Monarch Beiheng's figure appeared. He stared at you, his tone solemn.

As a body cultivation true lord, True Monarch Beiheng had naturally awakened a few body cultivation divine abilities. One of them allowed him to detect unseen crises.

And at this moment, True Monarch Beiheng vaguely sensed a trace of danger emanating from you.

This left True Monarch Beiheng inwardly shaken. For a newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator like you facing a veteran true lord like him—especially a body cultivation true lord who excelled in combat—merely surviving should have been a feat. Yet you actually made him feel threatened?

"Fellow Daoist Beiheng, wait for me a moment. We'll chat later."

You looked at True Monarch Beiheng, speaking to him as an equal.

"Alright."

True Monarch Beiheng nodded, inwardly curious about what you were going to do.

The next moment, your figure vanished.

Looking thoughtful, True Monarch Beiheng cast his gaze outside Jiuli Valley.

In a dense forest over a thousand li outside Jiuli Valley.

Your figure materialized without a sound.

This forest was exactly where Elder Mo, the Vice Mountain Lord, and the other Corpse Raising Mountain cultivators had been waiting earlier.

You swept your gaze over the surroundings and reached out your right hand. A faint, almost imperceptible wisp of corpse qi condensed.

Although Elder Mo and the Vice Mountain Lord had done their best to erase their tracks, their residual aura was still caught by the tracking of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

'They fled in that direction...'

You looked toward a specific direction, and your figure vanished once again.

This time, the method you used to track the Corpse Raising Mountain cultivators wasn't Divination.

It was a tracking art completely at the true lord level.

Among that group from Corpse Raising Mountain was a Tier 3 peak Divination master, protected by a top-tier Divination wondrous item.

If you tried to track them through Divination, it would be difficult to obtain any clues without sacrificing your lifespan.

But after stepping into the Nascent Soul Stage, you didn't need to use such flashy methods anymore.

You could simply crush them with your cultivation realm and forcefully track them down.

Your divine sense spanned a radius of twelve hundred li.

As long as you willed it, you could easily lock onto the lingering aura the Corpse Raising Mountain cultivators left behind as they fled.

When a Nascent Soul pursued Core Formation cultivators, what need was there for Divination?

In the sky above a wasteland, several streaks of escaping light flashed past. It was the group from Corpse Raising Mountain.

"Something's wrong!"

Elder Mo felt his blood surging to the heart, faintly sensing the approach of an unprecedented crisis.

"What in the world is happening? Did True Monarch Beiheng personally come after us?"

"But our hiding spot was beyond the range of True Monarch Beiheng's divine sense. How could he know we were there? Furthermore, Wujian Hall personally established the rule that true lords aren't allowed to attack lower cultivators without reason..." Elder Mo's brow twitched uneasily. As a Tier 3 peak Divination master, he deeply trusted his intuition.

"Elder Mo, what's wrong?"

The Vice Mountain Lord beside him was also somewhat uneasy and quickly asked.

"I need to perform a Divination. Guard me."

Elder Mo took a deep breath, intending to divine the cause even if it cost him his lifespan.

"Alright."

The Vice Mountain Lord immediately nodded.

Hum—

Elder Mo took out several Divination wondrous items, closed his eyes, and entered a deep Divination trance.

At once, Elder Mo's lifespan began to burn rapidly as his mind merged into the omnipresent web of heavenly secrets.

In his daze, Elder Mo suddenly snapped his eyes open. All color had drained from his face, and his soul was nearly depleted. That deep Divination just now had surprisingly consumed decades of his lifespan.

"It's Wang Lin. He broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage and is hunting us down..."

Elder Mo's voice was hoarse. The price for forcibly divining information at the Nascent Soul level was a massive amount of lifespan. Right now, Elder Mo's lifespan was completely drained; he was on the brink of death.

"Everyone, split up and run! As long as we can reach Corpse Raising Mountain's territory..."

Elder Mo grabbed the Vice Mountain Lord and shrieked with the last of his strength.

However, the Vice Mountain Lord gave absolutely no reaction, merely standing rigidly in place.

The dying Elder Mo suddenly realized something and looked in the same direction as the Vice Mountain Lord.

Hundreds of li ahead, atop a mountain peak, a figure had appeared at some unknown moment, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, facing away from them.

The figure wore azure robes, his black hair fluttering in the wind. The faint spiritual pressure he exuded left every living creature within hundreds of li trembling with unease.

Right at that moment, the figure slowly turned his head and shot a glance their way.

"Wang Lin!"

Elder Mo's pupils shrank violently. Amidst boundless despair, his life finally reached its end, and he passed away on the spot.

"Elder Mo..."

The Vice Mountain Lord grabbed onto Elder Mo in a daze.

Whoosh!

You took a single step, appearing right before the group of Corpse Raising Mountain cultivators.

A terrifying Nascent Soul spiritual pressure washed over them. Even the Vice Mountain Lord, at the Late Core Formation Stage, turned deathly pale, stripped of any thought of resistance.

Core Formation and Nascent Soul were cultivators on two entirely different planes of existence.

"T-True Monarch Wang, Wujian Hall laid down rules long ago. True lords cannot casually attack lower cultivators..."

Faced with the threat of death, the Vice Mountain Lord forced the words out, his mind shivering in terror.

Wujian Domain was a great domain. The cultivators within it were all under the jurisdiction of Wujian Hall, so naturally, true lords were not permitted to indiscriminately slaughter lower cultivators within the domain.

"You plotted to ambush me and struck first. Even if Wujian Hall finds out, what can they do?"

You shook your head slightly and raised a hand, unleashing a sweeping tide of Nascent Soul dharma power.

Deep dharma power fluctuations erupted from within the Vice Mountain Lord's body. Clearly, he was carrying a Tier 4 life-saving measure.

As the Vice Mountain Lord of Corpse Raising Mountain, having a life-saving measure of this caliber wasn't surprising.

However, while such life-saving methods were perfectly fine for blocking true persons of the same realm, against a genuine Nascent Soul True Monarch?

It was merely the difference between dying a few breaths earlier or a few breaths later.

'Elder Mo?'

You casually performed Soul Searching on the Vice Mountain Lord, learning that the emaciated old man nearby was precisely the Tier 3 peak Divination master nurtured by Corpse Raising Mountain.

A Tier 3 peak Divination master could only be cultivated by a Nascent Soul-tier faction. Such talents were far too rare, and they consumed an exorbitant amount of external resources.

'These few Divination wondrous items can be considered quite a haul...'

You checked Elder Mo's loot and found several decent Divination wondrous items.

Unfortunately, the most precious one—the top-tier Divination wondrous item—had been completely obliterated by the backlash of heavenly secrets when he forcibly divined your information earlier.

When Divination masters scried upon certain big shots, they would suffer the backlash of heavenly secrets, and a Nascent Soul True Monarch already qualified as a big shot.

Unless one was a Tier 4 Divination grandmaster, forcibly divining would not only consume a massive amount of lifespan but also invite heavenly backlash.

'True Monarch Yinxiao...'

You looked toward Corpse Raising Mountain. With the deaths of these Corpse Raising Mountain Core Formation True Persons, including Elder Mo—a Tier 3 peak Divination master—True Monarch Yinxiao was definitely already aware.

However, since Corpse Raising Mountain had attacked you first, True Monarch Yinxiao would just have to swallow his anger.

Before long, you returned to Jiuli Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Wang..."

True Monarch Beiheng came up to greet you.

From the moment you left Jiuli Mountain until now, True Monarch Beiheng had been waiting for you.

"The cultivators from Corpse Raising Mountain were hiding outside, planning to strike against me. I just took care of them along the way."

You spoke casually, making no effort to hide it.

It was also good to give True Monarch Beiheng a mental heads-up.

"I see. I knew those corpse brats from Corpse Raising Mountain wouldn't let it go so easily. You were right to kill them, Fellow Daoist Wang."

There wasn't a hint of surprise on True Monarch Beiheng's face.

Not to mention that you were fundamentally in the right here, as Corpse Raising Mountain had made the first move.

But even if you weren't in the right, so what?

Wujian Hall did indeed have a rule that true lords couldn't slaughter lower cultivators without reason.

But you hadn't slaughtered that many anyway. Even if you broke the rule, at most, Wujian Hall would just hand down a light punishment.

Jiuli Valley could easily shoulder that burden.

As for how you knew that Corpse Raising Mountain's cultivators were hiding right outside Jiuli Valley...

True Monarch Beiheng didn't press the matter. Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, who didn't have a few secrets of their own?

For example, True Monarch Beiheng could detect a faint trace of danger from you. Such an almost precognitive method was also one of True Monarch Beiheng's trump cards.

Thanks to this ability, True Monarch Beiheng had almost never been ambushed.

You continued chatting with True Monarch Beiheng for a while.

Seeming to recall something, True Monarch Beiheng asked, "Now that Fellow Daoist Wang has broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, do you have a Daoist title in mind?"

Cultivators could choose a Daoist title for themselves upon stepping into the Core Formation Stage and again upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

As the long years rolled by, a true lord's real name might be forgotten, but their Daoist title would be passed down through the ages.

"A Daoist title?"

You pondered for a moment. In the fourth simulation, when you broke through to the Core Formation Stage, you used "Qingyuan" as your Daoist title.

You didn't plan on changing it for this simulation, deciding to keep "Qingyuan" as your Daoist title.

"Let's just go with Qingyuan."

You said calmly.

"Qingyuan? True Monarch Qingyuan?"

True Monarch Beiheng smiled, sweeping his gaze over the Tier 3 body cultivators of Jiuli Valley below. "Have you all memorized it?"

"We pay our respects to True Monarch Qingyuan!"

Hearing this, the many Tier 3 body cultivators immediately bowed deeply and called out together in reverence.

It was foreseeable that before long, the name of True Monarch Qingyuan would spread across the entire Wujian Domain and even multiple surrounding great domains, making itself known to countless cultivation factions.
