I Have a Cultivation Simulator

“Foundation Establishment cultivators are as common as rain...”

You couldn't help but sigh.

Although many Foundation Establishment cultivators passed through the immortal city on any given day, the numbers paled in comparison to the recent influx.

Drawn by the three Crystal Condensation Pills and the various Core Formation Spiritual Items up for auction, the Foundation Establishment cultivators currently gathered in Biyue Immortal City likely accounted for ten to twenty percent of the entire Taiyuan Region’s Foundation Establishment population.

Furthermore, they had all come armed with ample spirit stones. Some had even taken on heavy debts just for a chance to bid on the Crystal Condensation Pills and Core Formation Spiritual Items.

As long as they could successfully achieve Core Formation and become Masters—even if only as False Core Masters—it would all be worth it.

This is a reputation built over three hundred years...

you thought to yourself.

Cultivators who managed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm were naturally no fools.

However, this auction in Biyue Immortal City eliminated all those worries.

Combat was strictly forbidden within the city. Even a core formation master would pay a catastrophic price for daring to break this rule.

With a great Master like True Person Biyue holding down the fort, no core formation master would dare cause trouble.

In addition, any cultivator who purchased breakthrough resources could choose to undergo their breakthrough right inside the city.

Whether advancing from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, or from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation, the immortal city provided a free cave-dwelling for the breakthrough.

This fully displayed True Person Biyue's compassionate attitude toward lower-level cultivators.

Such stellar word-of-mouth was the real key to gathering so many Foundation Establishment cultivators in one place.

There was still more than a month until the super-large auction officially began.

You had Xiao Hei stay hidden on the hill, keeping watch over Biyue Immortal City on your behalf.

...

More than half a month later, you sat cross-legged inside your cave-dwelling. Your physical body faintly emanated a heavy, oppressive aura.

“The Shanhai Body Tempering Art... peak of the fourth level... I can cross into the fifth level at any moment!”

You opened your eyes, your spirit surging with excitement.

The fifth level of the Shanhai Body Tempering Art would give you a physical form and blood vitality capable of rivaling a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator. You could practically be called a humanoid demonic beast.

I need to wait...

You reined in your aura and suppressed the urge to break through.

The instant you reached the peak of the fourth level, you faintly sensed a rejection from heaven and earth.

If you dared to take another step forward, you would face the tribulation sent down by the world.

Heavenly Tribulation!

The lineage of ancient body refiners had to face a Heavenly Tribulation with every breakthrough, starting from the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This was exactly why the ancient body refiners had died out. In ancient times, worldly resources had been abundant; despite the threat of heavenly tribulations, the massive population of body refiners meant powerful experts still emerged from their ranks.

However, as the ancient era ended and resources grew scarce, combined with the constant threat of tribulation, pure body refiners became increasingly rare.

In the current era, body tempering was practically always practiced alongside Qi Refining.

I'll wait until I reach the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer before breaking through to the fifth level of body tempering.

Using the strength of Foundation Establishment Perfection to endure a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage heavenly tribulation will be completely safe.

you thought to yourself.

Relying solely on body tempering to face a heavenly tribulation was a matter of nine deaths and one life.

But with Qi Refining strength to assist, the chances of surviving the tribulation would dramatically increase.

The Shanhai Sect's inheritance had also left a warning: if the Shanhai Body Tempering Art was about to break through to the fifth level, it was best supported by Foundation Establishment Late Stage strength.

Assisting a fifth-level body tempering breakthrough with Foundation Establishment Perfection strength would be absolutely foolproof.

However...

Your expression shifted slightly. How is Dachun... supposed to survive the body tempering heavenly tribulation?

Because Dachun had no spirit root, the only thing you had given him back then was the Shanhai Body Tempering Art.

So many years had passed, and the fact that Dachun wasn't dead yet meant only one thing: he had already reached Foundation Establishment in body tempering.

I hope he doesn't get struck down by the tribulation lightning...

You took out the drop of essence blood Dachun had left behind. Confirming that he was still alive, you felt slightly relieved.

...

Biyue Immortal City...

You switched to Xiao Hei's perspective and looked toward the magnificent immortal city.

With only a few days left until the super-large auction began, the city's grand defensive formation was operating at full capacity, casting down layer upon layer of array light.

Hm?

Through Xiao Hei's vision, you saw a massive Golden Flying Boat rapidly approaching the immortal city from above the clouds.

The aura exuded by the Golden Flying Boat far surpassed the Foundation Establishment Realm. Standing at the forefront of the deck was a man with a posture as straight and sharp as a drawn sword.

Several other figures stood behind him.

A core formation master?

Your gaze grew heavy. And a Master from the Golden Sword Sect, no less!

You spotted the golden sword emblem on the Golden Flying Boat's hull, confirming its origin.

The Golden Sword Sect was one of the five great sects of the Taiyuan Region. As a Core Formation-level faction, it boasted more than just one Master in its ranks.

Over the following days, you watched as Masters from other sects descended upon Biyue Immortal City one after another.

On the final day before the auction began, a Master from Taiyuan Palace arrived in person, prompting True Person Biyue to emerge and welcome him.

It seems Taiyuan Palace is keeping its guard up against True Person Biyue... With so many Masters inside the city—sect Masters, no less, all armed with numerous trump cards—what could True Person Biyue possibly do, even if she controls the city's defensive array?

you thought to yourself.

You even suspected that the Taiyuan Palace Master possessed a method to instantly contact the Palace's True Monarch.

If any major incident happened in Biyue Immortal City, the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Taiyuan Palace would know immediately.

It must be that True Person Biyue concealing her late-stage cultivation aroused Taiyuan Palace's suspicions...

you guessed privately.

Time ticked by, and soon the immortal city's super-large auction officially began.

Using Xiao Hei's perspective, you watched Biyue Immortal City from afar.

Then, at a certain moment—

Biyue Immortal City's grand defensive formation began to rumble silently.

Layer upon layer of array light spilled down, completely sealing off the entire immortal city.

Before the multitude of cultivators inside the city could even react, an emerald moon rapidly rose from the center of the immortal city, soaring above the clouds to an altitude of ten thousand meters.

True Person Biyue's figure appeared hazy and indistinct. With her white dress fluttering around her, she looked like an immortal fairy descending to the mortal realm to save all living beings.

True Person Biyue cast one final look at the city below, her pink lips parting slightly.

“I am Biyue, and today, I shall use a city full of cultivators to pave my path to becoming a True Monarch!”

...

High above the spot where True Person Biyue stood, beneath the empty vault of the heavens, a towering nine-foot-tall figure stood in silence.

He wore a profound black robe embroidered with dragon patterns, his long black hair cascading down to his waist.

Beneath his thick brows was a face filled with unparalleled recklessness and arrogance.

Seven gray stardots were gathered at the center of his forehead. They rotated slowly, like the very source of all baleful aura in heaven and earth. Gods and ghosts alike would flee from them; just a touch would induce trembling. Even a Master would not dare look directly at them.

“Granted!”

The burly figure with seven gray stardots gathered on his forehead looked down at the immortal city with a satisfied expression. Then, with a wave of his right hand, a fruit resembling an infant appeared and swiftly dropped down in front of True Person Biyue.

Following that, the burly figure turned toward the city full of cultivators, who were sealed within the immortal city below and unable to escape—

and inhaled deeply!
