I Have a Cultivation Simulator

Your trip to the Ghost Realm Trial Field took very little time.

After wiping out the Jiuyou Cult, the Second Nascent Soul waited outside Nether Mountain.

It also brought along the resources and treasures the Jiuyou Cult had accumulated over the years.

Since you shared a single consciousness with the Second Nascent Soul, you already knew everything it had experienced, saving you the trouble of reviewing it.

You valued your recent harvest from the Ghost Realm Trial Field far more than the spoils taken from the Jiuyou Cult.

True Dragon Blood? The Primordial Spirit Pill? The Five Elements Thunder Stone? The Xuanwu Bloodline Tortoise King Shell?

Every single item was incredibly rare—even by the standards of the ancient era.

"A massive harvest..."

Your mood soared. This haul from the Ghost Realm Trial Field cleared some of the bottlenecks standing between you and the Deity Transformation Stage.

"What a great place!"

You took one last look at Nether Mountain below.

"The destruction of the Jiuyou Cult."

Your thoughts shifted, and you looked in the direction of the Jiuyou Cult.

As a Nascent Soul-level faction with a ten-thousand-year legacy, the Jiuyou Cult held considerable influence in the surrounding major domains.

However, since you dared to make a move, you had naturally run numerous Divination calculations on the matter.

According to your Divination readings, the Jiuyou Cult's destruction would initially cause the True Monarchs in the neighboring domains to panic.

If the Jiuyou Cult could be wiped out, what would happen to other Nascent Soul-level factions?

However, this panic would only spread across a radius of a hundred million li, affecting just a few dozen major domains.

Across the vast expanse of the Eastern Wilderness Domain, the fall of the Jiuyou Cult would merely count as a moderate piece of news.

After all, the past leaders of the Jiuyou Cult had only ever reached the Early Nascent Soul Stage.

Furthermore, it remained uncertain whether the current Cult Master was even truly dead.

You had merely sealed his Nascent Soul spiritual body; strictly speaking, he was still alive.

The only thing capable of truly shaking the Eastern Wilderness Domain would be the fall of a Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

For instance, in your fifth simulation, your battle at the Sky Rift Grand Canyon shook the entire Eastern Wilderness—it was a major event that influenced the whole Human Realm.

In that battle, you killed not only a Mid Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch but eight Early Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs as well, single-handedly crushing the expansion of the Zhou Immortal Dynasty.

Even in the Central Continent Territory, the top factions learned of your fearsome reputation after that fight.

You continued your Divination for a moment. Once you confirmed there were no unexpected variables tied to the Jiuyou Cult's destruction, you made your next move.

You headed over to the neighboring Zhou Family.

"A'Qing..."

Zhou Shizhong, your mother Madam Zhou, and your two older brothers threw a family banquet in your honor.

After all, the Zhou Family's ability to retreat completely unscathed from the Gan Kingdom relied entirely on your strength.

"A'Qing, I hear the cultivation world is very dangerous. Why don't you come back? At least you'd be safe here."

Madam Zhou's face was etched with worry. In her eyes, you were forever her youngest son, and she only wanted you to live safely.

Cultivators? True, they stood high above the mortal world, but conflicts and contradictions existed among them all the same.

"That's right. I've heard those Foundation Establishment patriarchs have ruthless methods. Little brother, if you ever run into one, you need to run away immediately..."

Your eldest brother, Zhou Wen, couldn't help but chime in.

"A Foundation Establishment patriarch?"

You gave him an odd look. With your current strength, a Foundation Establishment patriarch would need several lifetimes' worth of accumulated luck just to meet you.

After the banquet ended, you secretly used your magical power to cleanse your family's muscles and marrow.

While this wouldn't give your parents and brothers spiritual roots, it would at least guarantee they could easily live to their maximum lifespans, completely free of disease.

In truth, with your current capabilities, it wasn't impossible to set your family on the path of cultivation.

There was just not much point to it.

Forcing them onto the path of cultivation meant they would likely struggle to reach Foundation Establishment in their entire lives, and the maximum lifespan of the Qi Refining Stage was no different from that of an ordinary mortal.

Rather than having them spend the majority of their time on dull cultivation, it was better for them to live out their lives happily.

And at your current level, even the life-extending items you casually tossed aside could easily let your family live to be two or three hundred years old.

For your parents and brothers, the point of cultivation was negligible.

"Dachun."

You brought Dachun to the front of Nether Mountain and simultaneously pressed a finger against his head.

A massive amount of legacy knowledge and secret art essentials regarding body cultivation surged into Dachun's mind.

These legacies, knowledge, and secret art essentials were all things you had collected over your previous simulations; they cost you nothing.

Your purpose in giving these legacy and secret art essentials to Dachun was, naturally, to broaden his horizons and insight, which would help him pass the subsequent body cultivation trials.

"Young Master... these..."

Dachun felt as if his head were about to explode. If you hadn't deliberately sealed away the vast majority of the legacy, secret art, and knowledge essentials, the sheer influx of such an oceanic volume of information would likely have turned him into an idiot.

"Memorize them well. They will be useful to you in the future," you said calmly. At the same time, you raised your right hand, dropping a bead of deep crimson vital blood.

Since you were a Rank 4 Mid Stage body cultivator, the energy and aura contained within a single drop of your vital blood was enough to overwhelm a group of Core Formation Stage dharma cultivators.

You actively refined this drop of vital blood, then slowly fused the power within it into Dachun's physical body.

The purpose of this drop of your vital blood was to stimulate the Ancient Saint Bloodline within Dachun as much as possible.

Without the Ancient Saint Bloodline, an ordinary mortal could never have withstood the infusion of your vital blood.

More than half a day later, Dachun slowly woke up.

"Young Master, right now I..."

Dachun's eyes went wide. He felt his body brimming with so much power he believed he could shatter a mountain with a single punch.

Of course, this was merely an illusion. Although his Ancient Saint Bloodline had been fully stimulated after experiencing the cleansing of your vital blood, his strength still fell far short of being able to shatter a mountain.

It was simply a false impression caused by the rapid surge in his physical strength.

You studied Dachun carefully. Now, with your help, he would absolutely be considered a body cultivation genius even if placed among the top body cultivation factions in the Central Continent.

With the Ancient Saint Bloodline, plus your help and guidance, he would be absolutely unparalleled even among those ranks.

"Dachun, next you will walk into Nether Mountain. Once you enter the Ghost Realm Trial Field..."

You gave Dachun a brief set of instructions, then personally sent him into Nether Mountain.

Hum—

The moment Dachun entered the bounds of Nether Mountain, an inexplicable spatial fluctuation surged forward, taking Dachun with it as he vanished.

'Did it sense the rich aura of the Ancient Saint Bloodline on Dachun's body and actively pull him into the trial field?' you wondered.

The first time Dachun entered the Ghost Realm Trial Field, he had been sprinting frantically through Nether Mountain. His blood had boiled, slightly awakening his Ancient Saint Bloodline, which allowed the Ghost Realm Trial Field to capture him and pull him inside.

This time, thanks to your intervention, the awakening level of his Ancient Saint Bloodline had skyrocketed. He was captured by the trial field the second he went in.

'I hope he can smoothly pass the third phase of the trial...' you thought to yourself. The third phase of the body cultivation trial was different from the third phase of the dharma cultivation trial.

The former had no age limit. The body cultivators who could reach the third phase of the trial were basically all body cultivation True Monarchs.

To pass the third phase of the body cultivation trial? It would probably require the strength of a Fourth-Order Late Stage body cultivation Great Cultivator.

Your help to Dachun was an 'investment'.

As long as Dachun successfully passed the third phase of the trial, he would be a Fourth-Order Late Stage body cultivation Great Cultivator.

When that time came, if you had not yet reached the Deity Transformation Stage, Dachun would be able to assist you.

Even if Dachun still died in the third phase of the trial during this simulation, you wouldn't lose anything.

The secret arts, legacies, and hidden knowledge you had passed down to Dachun cost you nothing.

As for that drop of vital blood, its cost was actually minimal as well. With your Rank 4 Mid Stage physical constitution, it wouldn't take much time to recover it.

Paying such a tiny price for the high probability of gaining a body cultivation Great Cultivator as a fighter in the future—or potentially even touching upon a body cultivation Heavenly Monarch... you considered it a very profitable trade.

To you, Dachun's most important asset wasn't his Ancient Saint Bloodline, but his loyalty.

This loyalty wasn't the kind of controlled loyalty forged by the Demon Planting Art, but a genuine loyalty straight from the heart.

After leaving Nether Mountain, you began to consider your next steps.

In your past few simulations, you had established the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce in the Taiyuan Region to secretly accumulate wealth for you.

However, you didn't plan on doing that in this simulation.

Building a faction from scratch simply took too much time.

Instead, you planned to make a trip to Taiyuan Palace and secretly control True Monarch Zixu.

True Monarch Zixu was an Early Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch. Even if he faced a Mid Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch, he might not win, but he would still be confident in his ability to escape.

At worst, he would only have to abandon his physical body.

To control him? Not even a peak Mid Nascent Soul True Monarch would be capable of that.

In life-and-death battles at the True Monarch level, controlling the opponent was the most difficult feat, followed by capturing them alive, killing them, severely injuring them, and finally, defeating them.

But you were different. You were a Late Stage Great Cultivator, and a top-tier Great Cultivator at that.

Most importantly, you knew True Monarch Zixu's numerous methods. In your eyes, he was utterly crushed in terms of both absolute strength and intelligence.

Controlling Taiyuan Palace and then using its name to influence multiple surrounding domains to gather everyday resources for you would make it your stable rear guard.

That was the second thing you needed to do.

In this simulation, you planned to head to the Central Continent Territory and vie with those top-tier factions for the crucial resources of the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands, mimicking the Purple-Eyed True Monarch from your fifth simulation.

However, this approach carried risks. If those top factions noticed anything amiss, you would have no choice but to leave the Central Continent Territory and lie low.

Based on the Rank 4 Middle Grade immortal cave you had built deep in the savage wilds, gathering the resource and spiritual vein origins of several surrounding domains would give you the ability to barely upgrade it to the level of a small-scale High-Grade Tier 4 Immortal Cave.

A High-Grade Tier 4 Immortal Cave upgraded by such external forces certainly wouldn't be as effective as a normal High-Grade Tier 4 Immortal Cave.

But it could perfectly serve as a temporary cultivation site for you to lay low after leaving the Central Continent Territory.

This was also your purpose in controlling Taiyuan Palace.

Half a day later, at Taiyuan Palace.

Dressed in purple robes, True Monarch Zixu stood respectfully before you.

"Senior's arrival is my Taiyuan Palace's greatest honor..."

True Monarch Zixu's mind trembled, yet his tone remained incredibly respectful.

Just moments ago, you had appeared silently right in front of him.

True Monarch Zixu's first thought had been to run, directly abandoning his physical body to flee with his Nascent Soul spiritual body.

But in the very next moment, you had snatched it back and pressed it right back into his physical body.

From that moment, True Monarch Zixu knew you were an existence he could not possibly resist, and directly chose to submit.

For a Nascent Soul True Monarch, bowing one's head to preserve their life was not a shameful matter.

You glanced at True Monarch Zixu's humbled posture, feeling quite deeply moved.

In your third simulation, fourth simulation, and even the early stages of your fifth simulation, True Monarch Zixu had been an existence you could only look up to.

But now?

Yet here he was, standing so respectfully before you.

"From now on, you and Taiyuan Palace will act according to my orders," you said, looking at True Monarch Zixu.

"Yes."

True Monarch Zixu felt bitter in his heart, yet he dared not refuse.

"Rest assured, as long as you do things as I instruct, stepping into the Mid Nascent Soul Stage is not impossible for you."

You hadn't solely coerced True Monarch Zixu with absolute strength; you also offered appropriate benefits.

"The Mid Nascent Soul Stage!"

True Monarch Zixu's spirit soared. He wanted to step into the Mid Nascent Soul Stage so badly he dreamt of it.

If you could really help him step into the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, then following your orders wouldn't be unacceptable.

His thoughts racing, True Monarch Zixu's posture grew even more respectful.

After issuing dozens of orders to True Monarch Zixu, you left Taiyuan Palace.

As for whether True Monarch Zixu would feign compliance and run away the moment you left... this Early Nascent Soul True Monarch simply did not have the guts. Not after you had explicitly displayed your absolutely crushing strength and mentioned your ability to track his exact location.

If True Monarch Zixu wanted to live, listening to you was his only option.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch's greatest source of confidence in remaining aloof lay in the fact that their Nascent Soul spiritual body was very difficult to threaten.

If they couldn't win, they ran.

This was the mindset shared by every Nascent Soul True Monarch.

But in front of you, he could neither win a fight nor run away.

True Monarch Zixu naturally knew what choice to make.

"No issues here."

You counted on your fingers, using your Rank 4 Middle Grade Divination skill to confirm True Monarch Zixu's subsequent actions.

This was the other source of your confidence in daring to control a True Monarch. With your Divination skill, it was as if you had opened up 'full map vision.' If True Monarch Zixu entertained any other thoughts or actions, you would be able to catch and detect them in advance.

"The Myriad Beast Mountain Range..." In the blink of an eye, you stood before the Myriad Beast Mountain Range.

You cast a single glance at this demonic beast lair spanning several major domains before walking inside.

In the deepest part of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range.

Inside a massive valley.

The mountain-sized Eagle King slept with its eyes shut tight.

Not far away within the valley, a suffocating aura brewed; that Blood Roc with the True Spirit Bloodline was growing rapidly.

Your figure appeared inside the valley. With a light lift of your hand, you hoisted that Blood Roc into the air. Under the suppression of your vast magical power, this beast king with a True Spirit Bloodline trembled, not daring to resist.

Screech!

Outside the valley, that mountain-sized Eagle King sensed the anomaly. Before it could make any move, you shot it a single glare. As if struck by lightning, its massive body trembled, not daring to make any movement.

"A beast king with the Heavenly Roc Bloodline..."

You looked at the shivering Blood Roc before you, filled with emotion.

In your fifth simulation, in order to deal with this Blood Roc, you had not hesitated to join forces with True Monarch Beiheng, exhausting every method just to take it down.

But now? A mere lift of your hand and a single glance were enough to deal with these two beast kings deep within the Myriad Beast Mountain Range.

The difference lay in your absolute increase in strength.
