“Fortunately, within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, there was an abundance of food and water, and even the scenery was beautiful with plentiful Spiritual Energy. You could comfortably stay hidden here until the end of the world came.”
“After being tortured by Elder Jin, you found that your Dantian was shattered, and your Qi Refining Cultivation had almost fallen to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Your limbs had also been melted by the Pill Furnace, turning you into a disabled person, utterly incapable of continuing cultivation.”
“Although you were unable to continue with cultivation, the means you possessed as a Cultivator made living a life akin to that of an ordinary person not difficult at all.”
“In the following days, you lived a leisurely life of peaceful retirement, farming land, raising chickens, enjoying mouthwatering Spirit Rice, eating some wild vegetables, and occasionally killing a Spirit Chicken to satisfy a craving, leading quite a pleasant life.”
“In the fourteenth year, one day, the entire space of the Spirit Field Blessed Land began to shatter, and you sensed something in your heart, knowing that the extraordinary beast had finally arrived.”
“Before you were to die, you decided to return to the real world to take a look, so with a thought, you left the Spirit Field Blessed Land and returned to the place where you had been used for alchemy.”
“The giant Pill Furnace that was three zhang high was long gone, and darkness surrounded you, filled with ruins and sludge. You could hardly stand steadily, and you realized that you might have been swallowed by a massive beast.”
“Just when you thought you were certainly going to die, an elderly voice came from behind.”
“You looked carefully and saw an old man with withered features and a flickering life force, shakily emerging from a corner—it was Protector Zong!”
“You were stunned. You didn’t expect Protector Zong, in his obsession to turn you into an elixir, had waited for two whole years, even ending up with the same fate of being devoured by a giant beast like you.”
“Upon seeing you, Protector Zong’s face showed a look of surprise mixed with craziness, his body trembling as he spoke about your possession of a paradise.”
“Protector Zong knelt before you with a tear-stained face, saying he did not have much time left and only wished to see the paradise you had before he died.”
“Seeing Protector Zong in such agony, you gave a bitter smile and chose to commit suicide.”
“You died!”
“Your innate talent ‘Unwilling to Close One’s Eyes in Death’ activated…”
“Upon witnessing your death, Protector Zong became completely mad with frenzy. You were his only hope for continuing cultivation. Now that you had died, he knew there was no chance for him to cultivate further. His cultivation mindset collapsed, and he died miserably beside your corpse.”
“Ding, the simulation has ended!”
After the simulation ended, Su Xing fell into deep contemplation.
This simulation was of immeasurable value to Su Xing.
Firstly, Su Xing finally obtained the complete version of the Changchun Technique, meaning that his path of cultivation would not cease in the future. Su Xing now had hope of cultivating up to the Return to Void Realm.
Once he reached the Return to Void Realm, Su Xing could travel to the Qingyun Sect, which might be a world belonging to Cultivators. Once Su Xing could reach that place, he would have access to more cultivation resources.
By then, with the help of the simulator, Su Xing’s cultivation speed would undergo a qualitative change.
Secondly, the simulation had a significant informational impact on Su Xing.
Su Xing confirmed that on this world, there were not only him as a Cultivator.
Or to put it another way, while Blue Star might only have him as a Cultivator, the Cultivation-oriented copies might contain quite a number of Cultivators.
More worryingly, these Cultivators might already have a way to come into the real world and are influencing it.
Their intentions, whether good or bad, but for Su Xing, who harbors a great secret, are most certainly exploitable.
It was now certain that among the cultivators was Protector Zong, that old dog, and Dragon Protector, who had previously killed Su Xing in an instant — it was highly likely that he was also a cultivator.
Moreover, Su Xing could now confirm that Protector Zong came from the simulation of the Age of Dharma Decline.
“The simulation of the Age of Dharma Decline may hold many secrets, but with my current strength, the danger of exploring it personally is simply too great,”
“The best approach is to explore the Age of Dharma Decline simulation and perhaps gain a lot of useful information. However, before that, I still need to increase my strength by a notch, ideally reaching the Origin Martial Realm, or even the Nascent Soul Realm… That way I won’t waste simulation attempts.”
Su Xing pondered to himself.
“And another point, which is the most crucial! In the real world, I must not expose my identity! Especially the fact that I can cultivate! Once exposed, I fear that there will be no shortage of powerful beings who have been cut off from the path of immortality coming to trouble me. At best, they will imprison me; at worst, they might even refine me into a puppet… I must not underestimate these people’s thirst for cultivation!”
Just thinking about the inhumane tortures he had experienced in the simulation made Su Xing’s scalp tingle.
“That Protector Zong, in order to imprison me, did not hesitate to hide for many years, just to observe whether I could cultivate steadily.”
“Upon discovering that I indeed could cultivate, Protector Zong immediately showed his fangs and even waited several years after my escape, showing the depth of his obsession!”
“What’s most frightening is that there might not be just one person like Protector Zong. Those cultivators who emerged from the simulations, having faced the severance of their path of cultivation, would surely reveal their true nature at the slightest hope of cultivation… And those who managed to survive from the Age of Dharma Decline to now are definitely far more powerful than me!”
Su Xing took a deep breath and repeatedly said in his mind.
“Be more cautious! Even more cautious! I must not expose myself until I have absolute power…”
After pausing, Su Xing thought again:
“However, once I have the strength, perhaps I can find a way to eliminate Sect Elder Zong. After all, that guy is a great cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Realm and certainly knows a lot about the cultivation world. I know too little about the way of cultivation and could use him as a stepping stone to better understand the cultivation world.”
“But this is not something to be rushed; what needs to be done now is still steadily increasing my strength!”
Su Xing took a deep breath and then looked at the rewards for this simulation.
[Beast Speech Level 10]: A blue-grade talent, priced at 100,000 energy points.
[Golden Core Stage Fifth Layer]: Cultivation level, the quality of the Golden Core further improved, now of upper-mid quality, not far from a high-grade Golden Core, priced at 400,000 energy points.
[Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Insights into alchemy, priced at 10,000 energy points.
[Changchun Technique]: The foundational cultivation technique of the Changchun Sect, a prerequisite part of a much more powerful technique, can be cultivated to the great perfection of the Return to Void Realm, priced at 500,000 energy points.
Su Xing fell into thought looking at the four simulation rewards before him.
First and foremost, he had to acquire the Changchun Technique. After all, he had obtained it only after great effort and enduring torture in the simulator.
If he didn’t take it this time, he might waste another simulation opportunity.
Among the remaining three options, Su Xing immediately excluded the Alchemy Experience because, in this simulation, he hadn’t learned any new pill recipes, so it was of little value to him.
After hesitating for a while, Su Xing said:
“I choose to take out the Changchun Technique and the Level 10 Beast Speech Talent!”
