I Have a Cultivation Simulator

You did not pin all your hopes on the chamber of commerce cultivators who entered the Shanhai Ruins.

You had already prepared for the possibility of not obtaining the subsequent portions of the Shanhai Inheritance during this opening of the Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage.

Having just entered the Early Nascent Soul Stage, you still had a considerable amount of time before cultivating to the Early Peak, let alone breaking through to the Mid Stage. You were in no rush for the subsequent portions of the Shanhai Inheritance.

You had plenty of time to plan things out slowly.

The Ruins of the Shanhai Lineage had existed up to this day, and every few decades or centuries, a group of cultivators would stumble inside.

After all these years, you refused to believe that not a single cultivator had obtained the subsequent portions of the Shanhai Inheritance.

If all else failed, you could just issue a bounty.

Moreover, upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, you could deduce the method yourself even without the subsequent inheritance.

Every Nascent Soul True Monarch possessed their own unique understanding of the dharma cultivation system. Creating a Tier 3 inheritance was not a difficult task.

Of course, what you deduced would certainly not match the perfected contents left behind by past generations of the Mountain and Sea Lineage.

But it was still a viable method.

Finally, you had one more method no other True Monarch could employ.

That was to start over entirely.

By the time they cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage, the True Monarchs' paths were essentially fixed.

There was no turning back, nor any possibility of switching cultivation paths.

But you were different. You could still carry out an initial anchor simulation.

When that time came, you could simply choose a complete inheritance to cultivate.

It was just that, so far, you were quite satisfied with the Shanhai Inheritance.

Unless there was truly no other way, you would not change your inheritance.

In the ninety-fourth year, you were one hundred and eleven years old.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, the Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony has begun."

On this day, as you were in secluded cultivation comprehending the second level of the Divine Origin Void Crossing Great Art, you received a message from True Monarch Beiheng.

You walked out of your immortal cave and stood atop the mountain peak. The spiritual sense of a Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch instantly enveloped a radius of a thousand li.

You saw that a massive number of cultivators had gathered inside and outside Jiuli Valley. They conversed with one another, and the focal point of their discussions was you.

Almost all the cultivators' eyes were filled with awe and admiration. This was especially true for the Core Formation Stage true persons, whose envy was practically written on their faces.

Every Core Formation Stage true person, even those with a Low-Grade Gold Core, had daydreamed about reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

In theory, true persons with a Low-Grade Gold Core had a glimmer of hope of stepping into the True Monarch level. But theory was just theory; in reality, it was practically impossible.

"My Jiuli Valley hasn't been this lively in a long time..."

True Monarch Beiheng appeared beside you, speaking with a sigh of emotion.

At this moment, those gathered inside and outside Jiuli Valley included over eighty percent of the Core Formation tier factions in the Wujian Domain. Numerous cultivation clans, chambers of commerce, and sects had all come to offer their congratulations.

Factions from outside the Wujian Domain had also sent people to deliver gifts and express their goodwill.

A Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony signified the beginning of a Nascent Soul True Monarch's reign. For the next several hundred years, this Nascent Soul True Monarch would leave a reputation across the neighboring major domains to be passed down to future generations.

Among the various pieces of intelligence you had gathered, there were occasional mentions of a certain Nascent Soul True Monarch from thousands or even over ten thousand years ago, detailing the deeds they had accomplished.

Whether tyrannical or benevolent, Nascent Soul True Monarchs were existences that the vast majority of cultivators in the world could only look up to.

"Let's go. The ceremony is being held over there."

True Monarch Beiheng said.

"Mn."

You nodded slightly.

Following True Monarch Beiheng, you arrived inside the magnificent hall where the ceremony was being held.

As the protagonist of this Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony, you naturally took the main seat, with even True Monarch Beiheng sitting beside you.

Not long after you sat down, you heard the continuous announcements of congratulatory gifts.

"The patriarch of the Baisha Zheng Family has come to congratulate! Presenting one jin of hundred-year earth milk! Wishing True Monarch Qingyuan prosperity on the Great Dao..."

"The vice sect master of Luopo Mountain has come to congratulate! Presenting several stalks of Tier 3 spirit medicine! Wishing True Monarch Qingyuan prosperity on the Great Dao..."

"The president of the Luli Chamber of Commerce has come to congratulate! Presenting one thousand high-grade spirit stones! Wishing True Monarch Qingyuan prosperity on the Great Dao..."

After presenting their gifts, the congratulating factions respectfully returned to their designated seats.

As the highest-tier celebration in the cultivation world, high-level cultivators were as common as rain at a Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony. Factions that would normally act as king and hegemon in their own territories naturally kept their heads down and behaved themselves here.

It could be said that at this moment on Jiuli Mountain, any random cultivator you bumped into could very well be from a major faction, with a true person or even a true lord backing them.

"The president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, True Monarch Jiang, has come to congratulate! Presenting a quasi-Tier 4 pill furnace! Wishing True Monarch Qingyuan prosperity on the Great Dao..."

Before long, this Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony drew the arrival of the first True Monarch.

The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce was one of the five great Nascent Soul tier factions in the Wujian Domain, controlling the passages that connected the Wujian Domain to other major domains. The president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce had even broader connections; the True Monarchs of neighboring major domains generally had a good relationship with him.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyuan is truly extraordinary. That vice president under our chamber of commerce was completely blind back then. I have already stripped him of his position and dispatched him to another major domain..."

True Monarch Jiang of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce stepped forward and spoke to you with a smiling expression.

The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce had undoubtedly investigated you in secret. Naturally, they knew that you had visited them back then, wanting to borrow a Tier 4 spiritual vein to attempt a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Unfortunately, the vice president who received you at that time proposed that you refine pills for the chamber of commerce free of charge for fifty years in exchange for the chance to use the Tier 4 spiritual vein.

Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with what the vice president did at the time; he was merely earning profits for the chamber of commerce.

Fifty years of unpaid pill refinement from a Third-Order High-Grade alchemist? That far exceeded the value of borrowing a Tier 4 spiritual vein once.

However, the vice president's mistake lay in the fact that you ultimately did not choose to break through using the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce's Tier 4 spiritual vein, yet you still succeeded in your breakthrough and became a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Under these circumstances, worried that you might harbor resentment, the higher-ups of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce immediately decided to punish the vice president who received you back then and present a quasi-Tier 4 pill furnace to cater to your preferences.

"There's no need for that..."

You shook your head slightly, though you didn't plead for mercy on behalf of that vice president either.

"Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist Qingyuan is benevolent, but when mistakes are made, punishment must naturally follow."

After True Monarch Jiang finished speaking, he glanced at a beautiful female cultivator standing behind him.

This beautiful female cultivator had a cultivation base at the Mid Core Formation Stage. Wearing a white dress, she looked elegant and dignified.

"Liyue greets the True Monarch..." The beautiful female cultivator immediately gave you a graceful bow, her voice soft and sweet.

"Liyue has been nurtured by the chamber of commerce since she was young and is still a maiden. Upon learning that Fellow Daoist had ascended to the ranks of a True Monarch, she admired you greatly and wished to join your tutelage..."

True Monarch Jiang's tone carried a pointed implication.

Obviously, to quell any resentment you might have harbored from back then, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce had not only presented the quasi-Tier 4 pill furnace, but this Mid Core Formation Stage female cultivator as well.

A beautiful Mid Core Formation Stage female cultivator who was still an untouched maiden would be pursued by countless male true persons in the outside world. Yet now, she was a gift presented to you by the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, for you to toy with however you pleased.

This was the influence of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Even if you said nothing, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce would still take the initiative to please you.

"I appreciate True Monarch Jiang's kind intentions..."

You did not accept this beautiful Mid Core Formation Stage female cultivator.

You weren't too at ease toying with a female cultivator raised and groomed by the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce since childhood. Besides, you had Li Yan, who possessed the Primordial Yin Treasure Physique. Whether in terms of looks, temperament, or the experience of dual cultivation, she far surpassed this Mid Core Formation Stage female cultivator.

If, in the future, you truly intended to taste other female cultivators, you would choose them yourself rather than relying on the hands of others.

"Very well. Our Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce does business across multiple major domains and has collected quite a few ancient pill recipes. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qingyuan is interested?" True Monarch Jiang immediately realized you were not very interested in female cultivators and changed the subject.

"Oh? Ancient pill recipes?"

You looked at True Monarch Jiang.

These so-called ancient pill recipes referred to pill recipes originating from at least the ancient era.

With the end of the ancient era, the resources of heaven and earth had vastly depleted, rendering many ancient pill recipes no longer applicable.

Even so, a portion of these ancient pill recipes still held tremendous reference value for an alchemist.

In the ancient era, high-level alchemists were numerous. A random pill recipe left behind by them could potentially provide immense inspiration to future alchemists.

"Please take a look, Fellow Daoist Qingyuan..." True Monarch Jiang immediately brought out several jade slips.

"I have received the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce's goodwill..."

You swept your gaze over the ancient pill recipes, feeling a trace of enlightenment in your heart, and spoke while looking at True Monarch Jiang.

"Hahaha, as long as Fellow Daoist Qingyuan is satisfied."

A smile also appeared on True Monarch Jiang's face.

The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce's intelligence was extremely detailed; they knew the specific process of your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

During the stage of shattering the core to form the nascent soul, your progression was smoother than that of normal Nascent Soul seeds with a Flawless Gold Core. In the judgment of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, you had definitely encountered great serendipity and absolutely could not be offended.

Therefore, True Monarch Jiang had personally come over, bringing a quasi-Tier 4 pill furnace, a Mid Core Formation Stage female cultivator, and ancient pill recipes, all to resolve any misunderstandings that might exist between you and the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.

After chatting idly with you for a while, True Monarch Jiang retreated to his seat.

At the same time, True Monarch Jiang also made a series of mental assessments about you: 'True Monarch Qingyuan comes from another major domain, carries an extraordinary inheritance, does not lust after women, and is particularly interested in the skills of the alchemy Dao...'

In an almost fleeting instant, True Monarch Jiang thought of numerous ways to win you over.

He could start from the aspect of alchemy skills, providing assistance to help you break through and become a Tier 4 alchemy grandmaster...

"True Monarch Jinyan of the Chiwu Sect has come to congratulate! Presenting..."

The Chiwu Sect was similarly one of the five great Nascent Soul tier factions in the Wujian Domain. It was said that the Chiwu Sect's lineage originated from the Golden Crow lineage of the ancient era.

"True Monarch Jinyan..."

You stood up once again to welcome the guest, with True Monarch Beiheng accompanying you by your side.

When it came to congratulators at the True Monarch level, you, as the hosts, naturally had to show them adequate importance.

"Fellow Daoist Beiheng seems to be in quite a good condition..." After True Monarch Jinyan finished greeting you, he looked at True Monarch Beiheng.

"At my age, what good condition could I possibly have..." True Monarch Beiheng replied with a smile, his response watertight.

You sat in the main seat, thinking about the congratulatory gift presented by the Chiwu Sect.

A piece of Tier 4 Crimson Flame Crystal.

This crystal stone was suitable for forging a Spirit Treasure and could bestow upon it a nearly imperishable foundation.

As you were already a Tier 3 artifact refiner, you knew the preciousness of such a material.

Right at this moment, another congratulatory announcement rang out, plunging the entire hall into silence.

"True Monarch Qianhuan of Wujian Hall has come to congratulate..."

Within the Wujian Domain, Wujian Hall was the supreme ruler. For Wujian Hall to personally send a True Monarch to congratulate you signified their recognition of you.

"True Monarch Qianhuan..."

The intelligence regarding this True Monarch surfaced in your mind.

True Monarch Qianhuan was a female True Monarch with a cultivation base at the Early Peak.

She was the most promising candidate to become the next Mid Stage True Monarch in the Wujian Domain.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, I've wanted to meet you for a long time..."

True Monarch Qianhuan wore a white and blue dharma dress. Her long hair fluttered, and her features were cold, glamorous, and beautiful.

Deep within her eyes, overlapping rings seemed to reflect endlessly.

"Fellow Daoist Qianhuan."

You immediately stepped forward to greet her in person.

To you, Wujian Hall not only had a Mid Stage True Monarch holding down the fort, but they also possessed a Tier 4 Divination grandmaster.

The deterrent force of the latter was even greater.

In the Dao of Divination, the higher one went, the harder it was to comprehend. The gap from Tier 3 to Tier 4, in particular, was practically an impassable chasm.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the moment just before the grand ceremony officially began.

Right at this moment.

Another congratulatory announcement rang out.

"True Monarch Yinxiao from Corpse Raising Mountain has come to congratulate..."

The various factions present were not overly surprised.

By now, four of the five great Nascent Soul tier factions in the Wujian Domain had already arrived. It was completely normal for Corpse Raising Mountain to show up as well.

Even Wujian Hall had sent a True Monarch, let alone Corpse Raising Mountain.

Only True Monarch Beiheng wore a slightly solemn expression. He knew that you had killed several true persons from Corpse Raising Mountain, including their vice mountain lord and a peak Tier 3 Divination master.

Given True Monarch Yinxiao's temperament, he probably wouldn't let the matter rest.

Even for a Nascent Soul tier faction, nurturing a peak Tier 3 Divination master was extremely difficult. At the very least, Jiuli Valley did not have one in this generation.

"Hehehe, True Monarch Qingyuan, I presume I'm not late."

True Monarch Yinxiao's skin was deathly pale, much like a corpse. His tone was incredibly sinister as he stared at you and spoke unhurriedly.

"Naturally, True Monarch Yinxiao is not late."

You stood up out of courtesy to welcome him.

"That's good, that's good!"

True Monarch Yinxiao grinned. At the same time, he flipped his hand, and a gray jar appeared in his grasp. "I present this jar of Myriad-Weight Corpse Water to congratulate True Monarch Qingyuan on stepping into the Nascent Soul Great Dao..."

Before his voice even faded, True Monarch Yinxiao tossed it lightly. The gray jar flew into the air, carrying an invisible spiritual pressure as it hurtled toward you.

"Careful!"

True Monarch Beiheng, who had been on guard the entire time, immediately let out a low shout. The qi and blood around his body surged, ready to strike at a moment's notice.

Yet right at this moment, you silently reached out your hand. With an effortless might that could overturn mountains and seas, you steadily caught the jar of Myriad-Weight Corpse Water tossed by True Monarch Yinxiao. Slapping a sealing talisman onto it, you stowed it away and smiled. "Then many thanks to True Monarch Yinxiao."

"Hm?"

True Monarch Yinxiao's pupils violently shrank.
