I Have a Cultivation Simulator

"Projecting the Nascent Soul?"

Xing'er froze for a moment.

In the near-ancient era, a Nascent Soul True Monarch generally used their Nascent Soul projection only to flee for their life.

As for fighting enemies? Lacking key resources, the Nascent Soul spirit body was far from stable and easily countered by various methods.

For example, qi and blood could counter it. Even Xing'er's Tier 4 corpse qi had a somewhat corrupting effect on a Nascent Soul spirit body.

Because of this, Xing'er could not understand why you chose to project your Nascent Soul.

'Fleeing?'

Although you could not harm her at the moment, Xing'er knew she could do nothing to you, either.

The battle was nowhere near the point of needing to abandon your physical body and flee with your Nascent Soul.

There was absolutely no need to project your Nascent Soul spirit body.

The next moment.

Under Xing'er's disbelieving gaze, your Nascent Soul spirit body took a step forward and appeared right in front of her.

The path of a top ancient dharma cultivation True Monarch relied on suppressing everything with the Nascent Soul spirit body. Countered by qi and blood? Even the Indestructible Golden Body of a top body cultivation True Monarch at the same level could be met head-on by such a spirit body.

For a top ancient dharma cultivation True Monarch, there was no such thing as being countered. Instead, everything in the world was meant to be suppressed by their Nascent Soul spirit body.

Before Xing'er could react, your Nascent Soul spirit body dove directly into her physical body.

To deal with Xing'er as quickly as possible, the simplest method was to directly suppress the sentience of this Tier 4 corpse puppet.

Your Nascent Soul spirit body was perfectly suited for this, plunging into the corpse puppet to suppress its sentience head-on.

'Entering my body?'

Xing'er was stunned once again.

She was a Tier 4 corpse puppet, and her body contained massive amounts of corpse qi and death qi. These had immense corrupting effects on a Nascent Soul spirit body.

By plunging your Nascent Soul spirit body into the flesh of a Tier 4 corpse puppet, you were essentially seeking death.

Beneath her confusion, wild joy surged in Xing'er's heart.

She did not know why you had dared to enter her with your Nascent Soul spirit body, but while getting in was easy, getting out would be another matter entirely.

Xing'er immediately manipulated the vast sea of corpse qi and death qi inside her, intending to lock down and suppress your Nascent Soul spirit body.

The interior of her body was her home battlefield, a place where she could freely mobilize every sliver of power within her flesh.

Even if the Nascent Soul spirit body of a Mid Stage True Monarch dared to enter her, Xing'er was confident she could exact a heavy price.

'Something is wrong.'

But an instant later, she realized her mistake.

From the moment your Nascent Soul spirit body entered her flesh, it did not stall against the endless waves of corpse qi and death qi. Instead, it charged straight for her sentience.

The vast tides of corpse qi and death qi could not slow you in the slightest. The terrifying fluctuations radiating from your Nascent Soul spirit body rapidly eroded her energies.

It was not her corpse qi and death qi countering your Nascent Soul spirit body, but rather your spirit body suppressing her deathly energies.

'This is... the path of top ancient dharma cultivation...'

Xing'er trembled in fear. As a Tier 4 corpse puppet, she knew exactly what kind of existence top ancient dharma cultivators were.

That was the legacy that brought the dharma cultivation lineage to its absolute peak. It was said to have gone extinct long ago in the near-ancient era.

But you?

Xing'er's mind turned ice-cold. If you truly walked the path of top ancient dharma cultivation, then your Nascent Soul was actually your most powerful asset.

Now, your strongest weapon had entered her weakest domain. The consequences were obvious.

In an instant, your Nascent Soul spirit body broke through all obstacles and arrived before Xing'er's sentience.

This was also the absolute core of a Tier 4 corpse puppet.

'No!'

Realizing her impending doom, Xing'er's sentience attempted to self-destruct and drag you down with her.

Once her sentience detonated, it would trigger the physical body of the corpse puppet to explode as well. Even if she couldn't take you down with her, she could still injure your Nascent Soul.

"Too late."

You extended a chubby little hand. Terrifying fluctuations surged around it as you gently pressed down on Xing'er's sentience.

The moment Xing'er saw your Nascent Soul leave your body, she had already lost the chance to self-destruct.

How fast was a Nascent Soul spirit body? From the moment it left your flesh to the moment it pinned her sentience, not even a ten-thousandth of a second had passed.

Even if Xing'er forcefully attempted to self-destruct, you could suppress and terminate the process.

Her only chance would have been to self-destruct before your Nascent Soul spirit body ever left your physical shell.

But that was unrealistic.

Who would choose to self-destruct when they weren't even in danger of dying?

Buzz—

Invisible Nascent Soul power instantly blanketed Xing'er's sentience and began suppressing the flesh of the Tier 4 corpse puppet.

Divorced from its sentience, the Tier 4 corpse puppet became just like any ordinary puppet, utterly powerless to resist.

"It's over!"

Your Nascent Soul spirit body flashed out and returned to your physical body.

Immediately after, you took a step forward and arrived in front of the completely defenseless Xing'er.

You took out a Tier 4 sealing talisman and slapped it onto the crown of Xing'er's head.

Although your Nascent Soul power had already thoroughly suppressed Xing'er's sentience so that she couldn't make any waves, it was still better to be cautious.

"A Tier 4 corpse puppet..."

You eagerly inspected the slumbering Xing'er. This was a Tier 4 creation of the corpse refinement path. If you studied it thoroughly, not only would you advance by leaps and bounds in corpse refinement, but you could also take control of this corpse puppet and its Tier 4 combat power.

A Tier 4 corpse puppet had developed its own sentience, eliminating the need for you to divide your divine sense to control it. This made it far more convenient than standard Tier 4 puppets of the same level.

"And that demonic cultivator woman..."

Inside Xing'er's spatial treasure, you also discovered the slumbering demonic cultivator woman.

"This is an omen of great fortune..."

A smile appeared on your face. The demonic cultivator woman emanated the aura of a soul path treasure, meaning she carried at least one Tier 4 soul path artifact.

Furthermore, Xing'er was a Tier 4 corpse puppet. If you could control her, she would be a Tier 4 enforcer.

How was True Monarch Yinxiao able to command such a terrifying reputation in Wujian Region? Wasn't it by joining forces with this Tier 4 corpse puppet to display a combat prowess equal to several True Monarchs working together?

"The path of a top ancient dharma cultivation True Monarch..."

You recalled the overwhelming ease with which your Nascent Soul had dominated after entering Xing'er. The feeling of steamrolling everything in your path was quite intoxicating.

'I cannot be arrogant...'

You steadied your mind and examined yourself.

First of all, your Nascent Soul spirit body was only able to deal with a Tier 4 corpse puppet like Xing'er so easily because you had already heavily injured her.

Additionally, Tier 4 corpse puppets lacked a Nascent Soul of their own and were completely countered by your approach.

If you were facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the same level and they realized they were outmatched, they could simply abandon their physical body and escape with their Nascent Soul spirit body.

Your Nascent Soul spirit body was far more stable than those of other True Monarchs at the same level, but in terms of speed, you didn't hold much of an advantage.

You placed Xing'er into a specialized spatial treasure.

Storage bags and storage rings could not hold living things, but there was a specific type of spatial treasure that could.

However, the prerequisite was that the lifeform being placed inside could not resist.

Since Xing'er had been completely suppressed by you from the inside out, she naturally couldn't put up a fight.

Just as you stored Xing'er away, the aura of a Nascent Soul True Monarch swiftly approached.

It was True Monarch Yinxiao.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late.

Now, True Monarch Yinxiao's formerly beloved dao companion had already fallen into your hands.

"Xing'er!"

True Monarch Yinxiao was extremely anxious. Through his connection with the Tier 4 corpse puppet, he realized you had launched a sneak attack and seized the initiative.

However, Xing'er had initially reassured him. Although she had been heavily injured by your attacks, she could hold on. The physical body of a Tier 4 corpse puppet was no joke—it was not much weaker than a Monster King of the same level.

But before True Monarch Yinxiao could heave a sigh of relief, he had lost his connection to Xing'er just a few breaths ago.

He could only vaguely sense that Xing'er's sentience hadn't been erased, merely suppressed and sealed.

"Qingyuan, you brat! Release Xing'er!"

Seeing you standing among the clouds, True Monarch Yinxiao swept his gaze across the surroundings but could not find a trace of Xing'er.

True Monarch Yinxiao's heart immediately sank.

'Could it be that Xing'er suffered severe injuries while dealing with that demonic cultivator...?'

True Monarch Yinxiao clearly knew Xing'er's strength; she was no weaker than an ordinary newly advanced True Monarch. How could she have been suppressed by you so quickly?

You glanced at True Monarch Yinxiao and calmly said, "Fellow Daoist, what was your intention in having a Tier 4 corpse puppet ambush me on my way back?"

True Monarch Yinxiao frowned. He had indeed intended to set up an ambush and launch a sneak attack against you, but before he could even execute it, the situation had spiraled into this.

"So what? I left Xing'er waiting here. What does that have to do with you?"

True Monarch Yinxiao showed no intention of admitting to the ambush and instead demanded, "Qingyuan, you brat, if you don't release Xing'er right now, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Thinking about how his cherished and beloved Xing'er had been heavily injured and suppressed by you, a towering rage erupted in True Monarch Yinxiao's heart.

Rumble—

Before you could answer, True Monarch Yinxiao attacked. As a Tier 4 corpse dao True Monarch, his strength was vastly superior to Xing'er's. With a mere gesture, his corpse qi blotted out the sky.

From True Monarch Yinxiao's perspective, Xing'er must have sustained serious injuries while dealing with that demonic cultivator, allowing you to get lucky with a sneak attack and capture her.

Your true strength was, at best, slightly superior to Xing'er's; you were definitely not his match.

However, after exchanging blows for just a moment, True Monarch Yinxiao's heart sank.

The quality of your magical power was incomparably dense and heavy, unexpectedly blocking the invasion of his corpse qi with ease.

Through this brief clash, True Monarch Yinxiao couldn't gain the slightest advantage.

In the past, True Monarch Yinxiao would have simply summoned Xing'er, and by joining forces, they would have completely dominated any opponent.

But now, fighting alone, he could do nothing to you.

This made True Monarch Yinxiao feel incredibly stifled. Being unable to overcome you meant that forcing you to hand over Xing'er was highly unrealistic.

In the cultivation world, strength was respected above all. The fact that you were no weaker than True Monarch Yinxiao was your greatest source of confidence.

"Hahahaha! Fellow Daoist Yinxiao, your formerly beloved dao companion is now in my hands. Do you want her back?"

You used your words to provoke True Monarch Yinxiao, wanting to test the true strength of this corpse dao True Monarch.

This would allow you to gauge whether you could kill him entirely.

If you fought at full power and unleashed your Nascent Soul spirit body, your explosive combat power would significantly surpass your current standard state.

'Forget it...'

You sighed inwardly.

Based on your estimations, even if you projected your Nascent Soul spirit body, the most likely outcome was that you would only manage to destroy True Monarch Yinxiao's physical body.

As for his corpse dao Nascent Soul? It would still be able to escape.

This was exactly why Nascent Soul True Monarchs were the hardest to deal with.

Even if a Mid Stage True Monarch attacked, an early-stage True Monarch still had hope of fleeing with their Nascent Soul spirit body.

Furthermore, within your perception, the auras of other True Monarchs were approaching from afar.

From the moment you attacked Xing'er to your clash with True Monarch Yinxiao, a good amount of time had already passed.

Fights at the True Monarch level were difficult to conceal unless a Tier 4 grand formation was specifically laid out beforehand.

There were already Nascent Soul True Monarchs heading in this direction.

"True Monarch Qingyuan, let Xing'er go. We can negotiate the terms."

True Monarch Yinxiao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Right now, the most pressing issue was making you hand over Xing'er. To achieve this, True Monarch Yinxiao was willing to pay a certain price.

If not, once you took Xing'er away...

True Monarch Yinxiao didn't dare to imagine what Xing'er would endure in your hands.

"There's nothing to negotiate."

You shook your head slightly.

Since you had already suppressed that Tier 4 corpse puppet, you had no intention of returning it.

Return it? Wouldn't that just be handing resources to the enemy?

"Fellow Daoists, might I ask what happened here?"

Just then, a voice rang out. It was True Monarch Jiang, who had noticed the commotion and hurried over.

In reality, True Monarch Jiang had already been here for a little while. When he heard that True Monarch Yinxiao's Tier 4 corpse puppet had been suppressed by you, he suspected his ears were playing tricks on him.

That Tier 4 corpse puppet possessed the combat power of someone who had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage. How could it be so easily suppressed?

The difficulty of suppressing an opponent far exceeded merely defeating or killing them.

Rumble—

Yet another True Monarch level aura approached.

It was another True Monarch from the Chiwu Sect, True Monarch Chixin.

"Fellow Daoist Chixin..."

Upon seeing True Monarch Chixin, joy flared in True Monarch Yinxiao's heart.

He had a very good relationship with True Monarch Chixin and was confident he could persuade him to join forces to force you to hand over Xing'er.

As for True Monarch Jiang standing nearby... True Monarchs of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce were tactful and accommodating, to put it nicely. Put bluntly, they simply wouldn't offend anyone.

In all likelihood, he wouldn't help you by making enemies of two True Monarchs.

However.

Before True Monarch Yinxiao could even discuss matters with True Monarch Chixin, the winds and clouds surged violently in the direction of Jiuli Valley. A majestic aura of qi and blood, as vast as an ocean, rapidly approached.

A burly figure stood towering above the ocean of qi and blood. His gaze was sharp, and the aura he exuded reached the Peak Early Nascent Soul Stage.

"True Monarch Yinxiao, you actually dared to command your corpse puppet to attack a True Monarch of my Jiuli Valley!"

True Monarch Beiheng's tone was icy cold, laced with deep dissatisfaction and killing intent, clearly stating his stance right on the spot.

'It's over...'

Looking at the terrifying aura of True Monarch Beiheng, True Monarch Yinxiao's heart plummeted to rock bottom.

He realized that, perhaps for a very long time to come, he wouldn't be getting Xing'er back.
