I Have a Cultivation Simulator

Chapter 200: Unprecedented Wealth

"Retreat?"

Prince Zhennan found it hard to accept, yet he had no choice but to consider it.

At present, by joining forces with True Monarch Gujing, he could barely suppress your physical body.

However, your Nascent Soul spirit body was slaughtering the immortal dynasty's early-stage True Monarchs.

If Prince Zhennan attacked your Nascent Soul spirit body, True Monarch Gujing could never hold down your physical body alone.

By the time your Nascent Soul spirit body rushed back, True Monarch Gujing would risk severe injury or even death.

True Monarch Chongtian had already fallen completely. The immortal dynasty's expeditionary army could absolutely not afford to lose a second mid-stage True Monarch.

"Let's retreat."

With conflicted thoughts, Prince Zhennan forced himself to make the difficult decision.

Yet no mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch had ever pressured him this heavily. Your Nascent Soul spirit body and your physical body could be treated as separate combatants, each representing the pinnacle of different paths.

It could be said that you alone were equivalent to two cultivators at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak. Moreover, you represented the mid-stage peaks of two ancient paths: a top-tier dharma cultivation True Monarch and a top-tier body cultivation True Monarch.

To the mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the near-ancient era, this was simply a dimensional strike.

Within the palace cage, your primary Nascent Soul flashed once more, appearing not far from the seventh True Monarch of the immortal dynasty.

"No—"

Despair washed over the dynasty True Monarch's face. Filled with absolute terror, he detonated his physical body without hesitation to let his Nascent Soul spirit body flee.

However, your primary Nascent Soul tanked the damage of his physical detonation head-on and forcibly appeared above his Nascent Soul spirit body. It reached out a chubby little hand, and a suffocating aura spread out to engulf the fleeing spirit body.

"Hm?"

Just as you were about to completely seal his Nascent Soul spirit body, an astonishing ripple violently erupted from him, and his soul aura abruptly broke through to the mid-stage level.

'A hidden trump card?'

A strange light flickered in your eyes. For an early-stage True Monarch to temporarily skyrocket their soul strength to the mid-stage level was absolutely terrifying.

But you weren't particularly surprised. The Eastern Wilderness Domain was boundless and held countless fortunes. A Nascent Soul True Monarch... placed in an ordinary domain spanning a million li, would be the absolute protagonist of an era, a child of providence.

It was perfectly normal for them to have obtained special fortunes.

Even you had experienced an unknown number of fortunate encounters to grow to your current level.

"What a pity that you ran into me..."

You shook your head slightly. A deeper, more oppressive soul aura surged from your primary Nascent Soul. Under the empowerment of the body cultivation Divine Ability Eruption, your soul strength shattered the threshold of the Late Nascent Soul Stage in one fell swoop.

Suppressing a Nascent Soul spirit body that had only just breached the mid-stage soul level was a foregone conclusion.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch's spatial treasures were almost always kept on their Nascent Soul spirit body. This ensured that if they encountered a fatal crisis and their spirit body fled, they could carry away the bulk of their accumulated wealth rather than leaving it to their enemies.

Therefore, capturing a True Monarch's Nascent Soul spirit body essentially meant obtaining more than half of their net worth.

Once this was done, you looked toward the eighth True Monarch of the immortal dynasty.

From the moment you attacked the seventh True Monarch to the moment you finished him off, it seemed like a long time, but in reality, only a few breaths had passed.

Compared to the early-stage True Monarchs of the immortal dynasty, your Nascent Soul spirit body was overwhelmingly dominant. Suppressing them barely took any time at all.

Right at this moment—

Space within the palace cage began to ripple, and its isolation from the outside world rapidly faded.

Obviously, Prince Zhennan was withdrawing the palace cage.

'He doesn't want me slaughtering any more of the dynasty's True Monarchs?'

You immediately understood Prince Zhennan's intentions.

The palace cage had originally been deployed to isolate a stretch of heaven and earth, giving the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty a numerical advantage to besiege a mid-stage True Monarch from the Wujian Domain's camp.

However, when used against you, it had instead become a tool aiding your slaughter of the dynasty's True Monarchs.

In the short few dozen breaths that the palace cage had trapped you and the numerous True Monarchs of the immortal dynasty, you had thoroughly slain a full seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

No matter the era, this was an incredibly unfathomable feat.

It wasn't a matter of your strength being insufficient, but rather that Nascent Soul True Monarchs were exceptional at running away.

Once they realized you could not be matched, a Nascent Soul True Monarch's evasion methods could cross thousands or even tens of thousands of li in a single breath.

Even if you played all your trump cards and separated your physical body from your Nascent Soul, under normal circumstances, the others would have long vanished without a trace by the time you thoroughly killed three or four of them.

However, the palace cage had restricted all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs' movements to a radius of a few hundred li.

A few hundred li? With a casual flicker, your primary Nascent Soul could appear anywhere within that space.

That was how you achieved the miracle of killing seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs in a row.

"Fall back!"

Prince Zhennan's voice rang in the ears of every True Monarch of the immortal dynasty.

Hearing this and sensing the disappearance of the palace cage, the remaining fewer than ten True Monarchs retreated explosively toward the dynasty's rear lines without any hesitation.

The immortal dynasty's rear lines had been fortified for over a hundred years and were protected by a super-large Tier 4 grand formation. Once they retreated there, they would basically be safe.

"I'll keep one more!"

Your primary Nascent Soul vanished, and when it reappeared, it was already closing in on another dynasty True Monarch.

Rumble—

A suffocating ripple surged forth, accompanied by a horrifying aura. Terrified, the True Monarch immediately ejected his Nascent Soul spirit body.

"How bold!"

Prince Zhennan's furious roar echoed out. He refused to let another immortal dynasty True Monarch die at your hands.

Terrifying magical power swept over, pressing down on you along with the majestic providence of the immortal dynasty.

Ignoring the attack entirely, you formed hand seals. Boundless Nascent Soul power boiled up, enveloping the eighth True Monarch's Nascent Soul spirit body in the blink of an eye before it fell right into your hands.

At that same moment, Prince Zhennan's attack arrived.

Boom!!!

Your primary Nascent Soul spun around and unleashed a full-power strike.

The shockwaves tore through the surrounding hundred li like a raging torrent. Your primary Nascent Soul was pushed back dozens of meters, while Prince Zhennan stumbled back several steps.

"The Dazhou Immortal Dynasty's Prince Zhennan truly lives up to his reputation."

Your primary Nascent Soul hovered in midair, exuding a frightening aura. You looked at Prince Zhennan in the distance. "However, is Prince Zhennan truly this confident in True Monarch Gujing?"

A mocking smile appeared on your face.

"What?"

Prince Zhennan sharply turned his gaze backward, only to see that under the control of your Second Nascent Soul, your physical body's aura had violently surged once more. Without Prince Zhennan's assistance, True Monarch Gujing was completely unable to resist alone and was forced to retreat step by step.

"Go!"

True Monarch Gujing decisively cast an evasion secret art. His figure blurred as he fled toward the rear of the immortal dynasty's battlefield.

Freed from True Monarch Gujing's restraint, your physical body strode in this direction, forming a pincer movement with your primary Nascent Soul to surround and kill Prince Zhennan.

"Not good!"

Prince Zhennan's expression turned grim. His full-power strike just now had only been half a catty to eight ounces against your primary Nascent Soul.

Prince Zhennan instantly knew he was by no means your match.

After all, a Nascent Soul spirit body's greatest strengths were its agility and speed.

For it to match him in a head-on clash killed any thought Prince Zhennan had of dragging out the fight.

Whoosh!

Invisible spatial ripples appeared once more, carrying Prince Zhennan far away in an instant.

The Dazhou Immortal Dynasty's providence treasure didn't just isolate heaven and earth; it held various other profound uses.

You watched Prince Zhennan and True Monarch Gujing leave, feeling no desire to give chase.

The rear lines of the dynasty's war effort were just ahead. If you rashly pursued them, it would be easy to fall into the super-large Tier 4 grand formation the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty had set up.

Furthermore, your body cultivation Divine Ability Eruption was about to end.

By then, having lost the empowerment of this divine ability, your overall strength would be weaker than it was now.

'Prince Zhennan, True Monarch Gujing...' you pondered to yourself. Both were mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and Prince Zhennan was even at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak, far stronger than True Monarch Chongtian.

Without prior planning and preparation, you had no certainty of thoroughly killing two mid-stage True Monarchs. Merely leaving their physical bodies behind while their Nascent Soul spirit bodies escaped with all their important treasures wouldn't be worth the effort.

A mid-stage True Monarch's Nascent Soul spirit body was definitely far less stable than your primary Nascent Soul, but there wasn't much difference between your evasion speeds.

Once drawn into a pursuit, your primary Nascent Soul wasn't confident in catching up to their spirit bodies.

The reason your primary Nascent Soul could crush early-stage Nascent Soul spirit bodies was that a mid-stage Nascent Soul spirit body was naturally much faster than an early-stage one.

It was just that normal mid-stage True Monarchs would never choose to let their Nascent Soul spirit bodies leave their physical vessels to hunt down enemies unless absolutely forced to.

'After this battle, retaliation from the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty... is inevitable...'

You thought silently to yourself. True Monarch Chongtian's grandfather was a Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator of the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty.

The only reason True Monarch Chongtian had been able to acquire the beast cores and spirits of four True Spirit Bloodline beast kings was because he had relied on this Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator.

With True Monarch Chongtian dead by your hands, you would inevitably attract the hostility and vengeful reckoning of this Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator.

'However... the hexagrams showed that within ten years of this battle, I will be safe even if I remain in the Wujian Domain. Once ten years pass, the danger will increase by a fraction with every passing year...' you thought to yourself.

Since you dared to strike at True Monarch Chongtian, you had naturally prepared for everything. You were a Tier 4 divination grandmaster, always planning ten steps ahead.

You surmised that True Monarch Chongtian's grandfather also had his own affairs to handle. A Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator possessed transcendent strength, but at the level of the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty, there were still many constraints.

The Dazhou Immortal Dynasty was only one of the three great hegemons of the Eastern Wilderness Domain, not its sole ruler.

As their highest tier of combat power, a Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator's every move carried massive implications.

Even if True Monarch Chongtian's grandfather wanted revenge, he couldn't just do whatever he pleased.

'The time I have is enough...'

You had no intention of crossing paths with True Monarch Chongtian's Great Cultivator grandfather.

Instead, you planned to leave the Wujian Domain within ten years and head for the Central Continent Territory.

This was also one of the hexagrams you had derived from your divination.

Once you entered the Central Continent Territory, the threat from the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty would plummet drastically.

The Dazhou Immortal Dynasty might run rampant across the Eastern Wilderness Domain, but in the Central Continent Territory? Even a Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator wouldn't dare act too presumptuously.

Since ancient times, the Central Continent Territory had been the heart of the Human Realm. In this near-ancient era, if Deity Transformation Heavenly Monarchs still existed in the Human Realm, they would most likely be in the Central Continent Territory.

You were heading to the Central Continent Territory primarily to avoid the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty, but also for the sake of your future Dao path.

In this simulation, once you broke through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, continuing to progress would be extremely difficult if you relied solely on the cultivation environment of the Eastern Wilderness Domain.

Across the entire Eastern Wilderness Domain, there were only a handful of Fourth Tier High Grade spirit vein cave-dwellings.

Swoosh—

Your primary Nascent Soul blurred and instantly returned into your physical body.

During this battle, you had practically played all your trump cards, aside from the fifty peak Rank 4 Middle Grade talismans in your dantian and the other variations of your Divine Ability Transformation.

You hadn't held anything else back.

If it weren't for this, it would have been very difficult for you to single-handedly tear through the various True Monarchs of the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, should we pursue them?"

The Wujian Hall Master and the other True Monarchs hurried over, their tones still carrying lingering shock.

The scene of you slaughtering Nascent Soul True Monarchs like chickens would leave anyone who saw it unable to remain calm.

The fact that the Wujian Hall Master even dared to approach you right now was already commendable courage.

You glanced at the Wujian Hall Master, catching a hint of fear in the eyes of this mid-stage True Monarch.

"Do not pursue a desperate enemy."

Your tone was calm as you stood with your hands behind your back.

"Very well."

The Wujian Hall Master nodded immediately, hanging on your every word.

The White Emperor of the Baidi Domain beside him was acting the same way. He still hadn't recovered from the battle just now.

Your Nascent Soul spirit body had suppressed the heavens, a world-shaking display of power that could make ghosts weep, while your physical body had towered over the world. The White Emperor's strength was inferior even to True Monarch Chongtian; facing your physical body and Nascent Soul, he had absolutely no confidence in surviving.

"In this battle, I killed one mid-stage True Monarch and eight early-stage True Monarchs. Does this count as battlefield merit?"

You looked at the Wujian Hall Master and asked casually.

"It counts, of course it counts."

The Wujian Hall Master hurriedly replied. Having lost so many True Monarchs, the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty had basically lost its ability to conquer the Wujian Domain.

As long as they could win the war, Wujian Hall was willing to pay any price.

Besides, as allies of the Wujian Domain, the Baidi Domain and Daluo Domain wouldn't just stand by and watch. The Wujian Hall Master planned to consolidate the treasure and resource inventories of the three great super domains for you to choose from.

In doing so, they could also share the financial burden.

Repelling the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty's expeditionary army might seem like it benefited the Wujian Domain the most, but in reality, many surrounding domains, especially the Daluo Domain and Baidi Domain, would greatly benefit from it.

"Mhm..."

You nodded slightly, in a rather good mood.

For you, the harvest from this battle was simply unprecedented. Aside from the essence souls and demon cores of the four True Spirit Bloodline beast kings, True Monarch Chongtian had carried numerous treasures, such as the Golden Moon Wolf King and the eighty-one magical swords...

Add to that the spoils of war from the eight Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Dazhou Immortal Dynasty, as well as the numerous treasures you could exchange for with your corresponding battlefield merits...

It could be said that you had become unprecedentedly wealthy.
