I Have a Cultivation Simulator

[ The Great Snow Mountain true lord's Body Refining cultivation had reached the Rank 4 Early Stage Peak. ]

[ Combined with the protective dharma power of a Mid Stage dharma cultivation true lord, easily blocking a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak attack was enough to prove the effectiveness of that Body Refining secret technique. ]

[ You had thought the same, which was why you struck with the power of a Mid Stage Peak true lord. ]

[ Yet this Great Snow Mountain true lord claimed your attack had reached the level of a Late Stage Great Cultivator? ]

[ How was that possible? ]

[ Ripples surged through your mind as a realization faintly dawned on you. ]

[ However, your expression remained unchanged. You simply smiled and said, "Alright." ]

[ Next, you suppressed the power of your strike to the Peak Early Nascent Soul Stage, bordering the Mid Stage. ]

[ Rumble— ]

[ "Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, what do you think? I can offer this secret technique as payment..." ]

[ The Great Snow Mountain true lord looked at you and smiled. ]

[ Although this secret technique consumed a massive amount of qi and blood, its effects were remarkable. At a critical moment, it could very well turn the tide of a battle. ]

[ This secret technique was indeed part of the Great Snow Mountain's collection. By offering it as payment, the Great Snow Mountain essentially paid nothing at all. ]

[ "Done." ]

[ You glanced at the Great Snow Mountain true lord and nodded in agreement. ]

[ Two months later. ]

[ You looked at the spinning Fourth Tier High Grade pill furnace in front of you. An aura of vitality thick enough to revive the dead and restore flesh to bones permeated the air. ]

[ "Condense!" ]

[ Your hands formed incantation seals, and two pills shrouded in milky-white halos flew out. ]

[ They were none other than Fourth Tier High Grade spiritual pills—the Endless Creation Pills. ]

[ These pills were the advanced version of the Tier 3 Endless Vitality Pills. Neither their healing efficacy nor the difficulty of refining them could be compared to the original. ]

[ Even with your alchemy skills, it still took you a full two months to refine them. ]

[ You stored one Endless Creation Pill away and took the other one out. ]

[ "True Monarch Qingyuan's alchemy skills truly live up to their reputation..." The Great Snow Mountain true lord carefully inspected the Endless Creation Pill, a look of delight surfacing on his face. ]

[ "Here is the secret technique." The Great Snow Mountain true lord simply took out a jade slip and slid it in front of you. ]

[ You took it, swept it with your divine sense, and gave a slight nod. ]

[ "If True Monarch Qingyuan has the time, you should visit the Great Snow Mountain. We have a vast collection of Body Refining secret techniques..." ]

[ Before leaving, the Great Snow Mountain true lord extended an invitation to you. ]

[ In the past, you definitely would have considered it, perhaps even genuinely planning to visit the Great Snow Mountain. ]

[ After all, getting close to the Great Snow Mountain might allow you to gather more detailed information about Heavenly Lord Powang. ]

[ That would help prepare you for the next simulation. ]

[ But now? ]

[ Just thinking about how your attack—which you had carefully restricted to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak—had crossed the threshold into the Late Nascent Soul Stage upon landing sent a chill down your spine. ]

[ "I'll think about it." ]

[ You didn't refuse outright, replying with a polite smile. ]

[ Watching the Great Snow Mountain true lord depart the Heavenly Talisman Sect, your expression sank into deep thought. ]

[ 'Is he a demonic cultivator... or a creature from the abyss...' ]

[ You pondered inwardly. The only reason a Mid Stage Peak strike could bridge the gap into the Late Stage was because your innate talent, Natural Enemy of Demonic Cultivators, had taken effect. ]

[ In other words, that Great Snow Mountain true lord was either a demonic cultivator or a monster from the Demon Abyss Realm. ]

[ 'The Great Snow Mountain... I've never heard of them having a demonic cultivation legacy...' ]

[ Your thoughts churned. The demonic cultivator legacies of the Human Realm originated in the late ancient era, a cultivation system created by mighty Heavenly Monarchs who sought to use demons to counter demons. ]

[ Because they involved the Demon Abyss Realm, almost no human demonic cultivator true lord had ever reached the Mid Nascent Soul Stage. Top-tier and overlord-level factions treated demonic cultivation legacies as deeply taboo, forbidding their own disciples from practicing them. ]

[ 'I'll assume he's a demonic creature!' ]

[ You decided to approach the problem from the worst-case scenario. ]

[ 'Have the creatures of the Demon Abyss Realm infiltrated the Human Realm this deeply? A monster at the level of a Rank 4 Mid Stage demon lord has crossed over, and then there's the Great Snow Mountain...' ]

[ Your heart grew heavy. A single Rank 4 Mid Stage demon lord wasn't a huge deal on its own, but this demon lord came from the Great Snow Mountain... What role was the Great Snow Mountain playing in all this? ]

[ Thinking back decades ago, when the spatial rift beneath the Great Snow Mountain connecting to the Demon Abyss Realm had expanded, a thought irresistibly surfaced in your mind— ]

[ Had the Great Snow Mountain defected to the Demon Abyss Realm? ]

[ If the Great Snow Mountain was truly colluding with the Demon Abyss Realm, then that newly ascended Deity Transformation expert, Heavenly Lord Powang... ]

[ Your heart sank. ]

[ These were all speculations drawn from the worst-case scenario. ]

[ Perhaps the reality wasn't so grim. That Great Snow Mountain true lord might just be a demonic cultivator who secretly practiced a demonic legacy... ]

[ But you had always preferred planning for the worst. ]

[ Assuming the Great Snow Mountain had surrendered to the Demon Abyss Realm, and that Heavenly Lord Powang was secretly serving them... what should you do now? ]

[ Directly expose the Great Snow Mountain true lord's identity as a demon lord to the outside world? ]

[ The risks of doing so were immense. Putting aside whether anyone would take it seriously, you would undoubtedly draw the enmity and likely the killing intent of the Great Snow Mountain. ]

[ Furthermore, inside and out, the Great Snow Mountain true lord appeared entirely as a human dharma cultivation true lord. He didn't have the slightest trace of a demon lord from the abyss. ]

[ This was the conclusion you drew after carefully observing him with the divine sense of a Late Stage Great Cultivator. ]

[ Had your Natural Enemy of Demonic Cultivators talent not triggered, even you wouldn't have suspected he was related to demonic creatures. ]

[ Forcefully exposing him and casting suspicion on the Great Snow Mountain and Heavenly Lord Powang would very likely backfire. ]

[ 'Then I'll hide my identity and report them to the six top-tier factions—One Peak, the two body sects, and the three dharma sects!' ]

[ You made your decision. As for whether you would be discovered... you were a Divination Grandmaster. As long as you were prepared, you could obscure your own heavenly secrets and fate, making it incredibly difficult to track you down. ]

[ In your view, even if the Great Snow Mountain had been infiltrated by the Demon Abyss Realm, the six top-tier factions of the Central Continent—One Peak, the two body sects, and the three dharma sects—were highly likely still on the side of the Human Realm. ]

[ If even those six great factions were controlled by the Demon Abyss Realm, then there was no point in the Human Realm resisting anymore. They might as well kneel and welcome the descent of the abyss. ]

[ 'Concealing my identity to report them won't affect me, whether it succeeds or not...' ]

[ You thought to yourself. Since it involved the Demon Abyss Realm, regardless of whether the report was true or false, the six top factions wouldn't ignore it. They would definitely launch an investigation. ]

[ If those six top factions had a Rank 4 Divination Grandmaster, they might very well be able to divine useful information by using the clues in your report as a medium. ]

[ Divining out of thin air whether the Great Snow Mountain was connected to the Demon Abyss Realm would be extremely difficult. But with clear clues acting as a medium, the divination would be vastly easier. ]

[ Half a month later, you used the Spirit Attachment Art to control seven or eight puppets, having them secretly leave the Heavenly Talisman Sect. ]

[ Attaching your divine sense to these puppets, you delivered exposure letters to the six great factions: One Peak, the two body sects, and the three dharma sects. ]

[ The letters explicitly asserted that the Great Snow Mountain was colluding with the Demon Abyss Realm. They stated that the expansion of the spatial rift beneath the Great Snow Mountain decades ago was no accident; rather, the Great Snow Mountain was deliberately trying to widen the rift to welcome the descent of experts from the Demon Abyss Realm. ]

[ Although the contents were based purely on your speculations, your tone was absolute. This was to ensure the six top-tier factions took the claim seriously. ]

[ If even the whistleblower sounded uncertain, how could anyone expect the six great factions to investigate? ]

[ After delivering the six letters, you voluntarily extinguished the divine sense attached to the puppets. Simultaneously, the puppets triggered their self-destruct mechanisms and vanished into thin air. ]

[ This was to erase your traces as much as possible. This way, even if a Divination Grandmaster tried to scry for the whistleblower's identity, they would struggle to find anything. ]

[ 'Now, it's all up to the investigation of the six factions.' ]

[ After sending the letters, you did not interfere any further, quietly observing from the shadows. ]

[ This matter involved an overlord-level faction and a Deity Transformation Heavenly Monarch. It was far beyond what you could decide. ]

[ The only thing you could do was wait. Wait for the results of the six factions' investigation. ]

[ While waiting, you attempted to comprehend the Body Refining secret technique the Great Snow Mountain true lord had given you as payment. ]

[ 'There's nothing wrong with the secret technique.' ]

[ You inspected it multiple times, confirming that there were no hidden traps or flaws left in the manual. ]

[ As a Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator, your insight and judgment could not be easily fooled. ]

[ In truth, you didn't believe the Great Snow Mountain true lord would dare tamper with the secret technique. ]

He had hidden every trace of his demon lord aura to disguise himself as a human true lord. Why would he leave hidden traps in a secret technique and risk exposing his identity?

[ In the eight hundred and thirteenth year, you were eight hundred and thirty years old. ]

[ While in secluded cultivation, you suddenly sensed a sharpness capable of severing all things erupting from the distant Northern Plains Domain. ]

[ 'What is that?' ]

[ You snapped your eyes open, gazing toward the Northern Plains Domain. 'A battle at the Heavenly Monarch level?' ]

[ Deity Transformation Heavenly Monarchs suffered from the suppression of the world. If they attacked with full force, they would face severe backlash from heaven and earth. ]

[ Therefore, under normal circumstances, Heavenly Monarchs avoided taking action whenever possible. ]

[ Yet right now? ]

[ 'It's the Heavenly Monarch of Heavenly Sword Peak...' ]

[ That world-severing edge you felt was suspected to be legendary sword intent—a power only a sword cultivator at the Heavenly Monarch level could master. ]

[ The force clashing against that sword intent was vast and mighty, but under the all-severing edge of the sword, it was clearly at a disadvantage. ]

[ Half an hour later. ]

[ The shockwaves of the Heavenly Monarch-level battle rapidly subsided. ]

[ Several days later, a joint announcement was released by the six top-tier factions of the Central Continent: ]

[ The Northern Plains Great Snow Mountain colluded with the Demon Abyss Realm and has now been eradicated. From this day forth, the Great Snow Mountain no longer exists in the Human Realm. ]

[ 'It's over already?' ]

[ You marveled at the sheer efficiency of the six top factions. ]

[ 'But that Heavenly Lord Powang... didn't die...' ]

[ You secretly felt it was a pity. If Heavenly Lord Powang had fallen, it would have been a good thing for you. At the very least, it would have opened up an opportunity to attempt a breakthrough to the Deity Transformation Stage. ]

[ However, how could a Deity Transformation Stage Heavenly Monarch die so easily? You even suspected that if the sword-cultivating Heavenly Monarch from Heavenly Sword Peak hadn't taken action, it remained entirely uncertain whether the Great Snow Mountain could have been eradicated at all. ]

[ The precondition for wiping out the Great Snow Mountain was undoubtedly forcing Heavenly Lord Powang into retreat. ]

[ The eradication of the Great Snow Mountain sent massive shockwaves throughout the Human Realm. ]

[ A grand overlord faction of the Northern Plains, one that had just birthed a new Deity Transformation Heavenly Monarch, had actually conspired with the Demon Abyss Realm and attempted to betray the Human Realm? ]

[ You carefully inquired about various news and confirmed that, from start to finish, there was no mention of who reported the Great Snow Mountain. ]

[ That allowed you to breathe a sigh of relief. ]

[ Since Heavenly Lord Powang was still alive, if he found out you were the culprit behind all of this... you would probably be quite troubled. ]

[ Thankfully, it seemed this had not come to pass. ]

[ This was well within expectations. After all, before sending the exposure letters, you had taken action multiple times to obscure the heavenly secrets and erase all traces of your involvement. ]

[ As a Divination Grandmaster yourself, you knew all too well the karmic mediums required for divination. ]

[ In the eight hundred and twenty-third year, you were eight hundred and forty years old. ]

[ The Great Snow Mountain incident gradually died down. People began discussing the fate of Heavenly Lord Powang; some said he fled into the Demon Abyss Realm, while others claimed he escaped to the vast deep-sea regions. ]

[ You secretly kept an eye out for intelligence on Heavenly Lord Powang, while not slacking off in your own cultivation. ]

[ In the eight hundred and eighty-third year, you were nine hundred years old. ]

[ You finally crafted your first Rank 4 Middle Grade puppet. ]

[ With this, you successfully ascended to the level of a Rank 4 Middle Grade Puppet Grandmaster. ]

[ Puppet crafting also became the fourth Rank 4 Middle Grade skill under your mastery. ]

[ Before this, your alchemy, talisman crafting, and array mastery had successively reached the Rank 4 Middle Grade. ]

[ Among them, your alchemy had already advanced to the Fourth Tier High Grade. ]

[ In the nine hundred and third year, you were nine hundred and twenty years old. ]

[ Your talisman crafting skills finally broke through to the Fourth Tier High Grade. ]

[ In the nine hundred and twenty-third year, you were nine hundred and forty years old. ]

[ You deeply felt the grueling difficulty of cultivating at the Late Nascent Soul Stage. ]

[ You had been in the Late Nascent Soul Stage for two hundred years, yet you were still a considerable distance away from the Late Nascent Soul Stage Peak. ]

[ Your cultivation aptitude wasn't particularly outstanding among Late Stage Great Cultivators. In fact, if not for the accumulation from your numerous simulations, whether you could have reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage at all would be highly questionable. ]

[ Without the Lotus Heart Seed and the Five Saints Ultimate Transformation Pill, you would have peaked at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage at best. ]

[ The so-called Flawless Gold Core and cultivation geniuses... once they reached the level of true lords, who among them wasn't exceptional? ]

[ In the nine hundred and fifty-third year, you were nine hundred and seventy years old. ]

[ Li Yan's musical mastery finally reached the Fourth Tier High Grade. ]

[ Ever since Li Yan stepped into the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, you could see her hopes of breaking through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage were incredibly slim. ]

[ So you let her pour her entire heart and soul into the art of music. After three hundred years of arduous comprehension, Li Yan finally took another step forward, becoming a Grandmaster in the path of sound. ]

[ Li Yan's talent in musical arts had always been superb. Back when she was only at the Mid Core Formation Stage, her musical skills had already reached Tier 4. ]

[ Coupled with the musical insights you had prepared for her from your previous two simulations, it wasn't at all abrupt for her to become a musical Grandmaster before her lifespan limit arrived. ]

[ In the nine hundred and seventy-third year, you were nine hundred and ninety years old. ]

[ Because you had poured a great deal of your lifespan into comprehending the path of Divination, even though you had taken many precious life-extending treasures, ]

[ your current maximum lifespan was still only around one thousand and one hundred years. ]

[ In the nine hundred and eighty-third year, you were one thousand years old. ]

[ You concluded your seclusion and stepped out of your cave dwelling. Your gaze was profound as you looked off into the distance. ]

[ This was the first time in all five simulations that you had experienced a thousand years of age. ]

[ Without even realizing it, counting from birth, you had lived through a complete thousand-year epoch. ]
