With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World

Because the tribe can no longer bear the losses caused by internal conflict, tribes that suffered from it have vanished.

At this point, the resources simply cannot support universal cultivation for everyone.

[Those with Immortal Talent absorb Spiritual Qi in the wilds, while those without Immortal Talent temper their physical bodies; tribe members search for Spirit Grass and hunt spirit beasts day and night.]

[Fortunately, the Spiritual Qi in this era is rather rich, allowing your cultivation to have some modest effect.]

[Your life is filled with cultivation, hunting spirit beasts, searching for Spirit Grass, and guarding the tribe.]

[It’s as if you’re trapped in a small world, repeating day and night, unable to comprehend the wider world. However, in this era, being able to grow up healthily is already quite fortunate.]

[Time slowly passes, you turn twenty, and you successfully pass the priest’s examination, becoming the assistant to the priest.]

[As a result, you gain more knowledge.]

[You learn that you’re in the East Nether Domain, Zhurong Mountain Range, within the Eastern Domain.]

[The Changfeng Tribe is the strongest Human Race tribe in the Zhurong Mountain Range, led by a Sixth Realm expert, equivalent to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.]

[The Demon Race and Witch Race are the rulers of this world.]

[The Witch Race’s attitude towards the Human Race is slightly better than that of the Demon Race.]

[The Zhurong Mountain Range is governed by the Zhurong lineage of the Witch Race, and it’s also the name given by humans to the mountain range.]

[Human tribes only need to offer some resources to the Witch Race, with no other restrictions.]

[You’ve become the priest’s assistant. With the dreams of your past life, you quickly learn the classification of herbs.]

[Your daily tasks, besides searching for resources, now include herb classification.]

[Time flies by.]

[In the Zhurong Mountain Range, the power of the Demon Race is suppressed, and the Changfeng Tribe remains peaceful. Occasionally, spirit beast invasions are thwarted by the clan leader and his followers.]

[Everything is calm.]

[The trees wither and grow again, the snow falls time and again.]

[Soon, you turn fifty-five.]

[This year, the elder priest dies unexpectedly, and you become the most knowledgeable person in the tribe, second only to the clan leader.]

[You help the tribe train new priests.]

[The new priest spends thirty years mastering everything, while you gradually grow gray-haired and dim-eyed.]

[Even though you possess the Qi Refining Fourth Level cultivation, you feel that your lifespan won’t even reach ninety.]

[You’ve long stopped going out to hunt.]

[One day, you sit on the root of a tree amidst fallen leaves, watching the lively children in the tribe, and slowly close your eyes.]

[You die, living until 88.]

[You gain the Reincarnation Achievement: Ordinary.]

[Reincarnation lifespan +1]

Zhao Fu’s first life was quite peaceful.

Ordinary individuals are much the same; for Zhao Fu to become the assistant to the priest and die as a learned elder is quite remarkable.

Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, if without hidden injuries, can live to at least a hundred; those at the seventh, eighth, or ninth layer can easily live two cycles of sixty years.

Yet Zhao Fu passed at 88, becoming the longest-lived person in the tribe except for those in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Realms, equivalent to the later Foundation Establishment in future times.

Other tribe members, living past one cycle of sixty years is considered longevity.

The first life helped Jiang Ming anchor the timeline.

It also established the worldview.

"And there’s a Reincarnation Achievement... not bad,"

For Jiang Ming, who has witnessed many deaths, Zhao Fu’s life doesn’t stir much feeling.

"After the Witch Demon War."

"While the Witch Race hasn’t perished, Witch Demons still clash against each other, it’s an era where the Human Race survives in the cracks."

Jiang Ming muses a bit.

He sorts through the Jiuzhou timeline in his mind.

Initially, it’s the Ancient Celestial Venerable era; Jiang Ming only knows this title from Emperor Yu’s words, and understands this person almost achieved Daluo.

The era afterward is unknown.

Then comes the era of the Witch Demon War.

The Witch Race perishes.

The Demon Race prevails.

Specific time unknown.

Later people collectively referred to the period before the Human Race’s rise as the Ancient Wilderness Era.

After the Ancient Wilderness Era.

Demon Race Great Saints fell or disappeared due to the Apocalypse Rift.

The Human Emperor Era began.

This is the period when the Human Race rose, many Human Emperors unified the Human Race’s fortunes, standing equal with the Demon Race.

The final Human Emperor, Emperor Yu, ended the Jiuzhou Great Cataclysm.

Forged the Nine Cauldrons.

Officially established the name of Jiuzhou.

Thus confirming the trend of Human Race thriving.

Specific time unknown.

Then comes the era Jiang Ming first simulated, the era of Xiang Wuji’s Demon Venerable.

During the Demon Venerable era, the Demon Race’s living spaces were squeezed by the Human Race, occupying only the northwest corner of Jiuzhou, the two major states of Huangzhou and Kuizhou, and parts of Mingzhou and Huizhou nearby, equivalent to the territory of three major states.

Ten thousand years after the fall of the Demon Venerable.

Jiang Ming’s initial simulation era arrived, the era of Ouyang Yun.

Unknown how long after Ouyang Yun, the Jiuzhou Immortals began planning Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven, personally triggering a great cataclysm, with planning spanning four thousand years.

Zhong Heng was born then perished.

During this era, for the cooperation with the great cataclysm, the Demon Race shattered their Dragon Transformation Pool, illustrating the complete dominance of Human Race forces over the Demon Race.

In the lengthy timeline of Jiuzhou.

Jiang Ming only manages to know the specifics of fifty thousand years.

Other than that, only bits and pieces of history are known from Zhong Heng’s historical research.

"Hundred Lives Reincarnation..."

Jiang Ming murmured.

If living a hundred years each time, then a hundred lives equals ten thousand years.

And with the passage of time, Zhao Fu accumulates more knowledge.

His talent grows stronger.

The time he can survive becomes longer and longer.

"Difficult to achieve immortality, but according to Divinity Transformation, perhaps one could experience hundreds of thousands or even millions of years..."

"These times... will they allow me to fully understand Jiuzhou’s history..."

Hundred Lives Reincarnation essentially grants Jiang Ming many more simulation attempts.

But the price is the inability to actively select talents, unable to choose innate talents that certainly have use at specific arrival points in time.

And unable to gain Source Talent.

"If Zhao Fu could inherit my cultivation knowledge, that would be good."

In Zhao Fu’s eyes, his ’past life memory’ is more like an indistinct dream.

Jiang Ming is currently at the Nascent Soul stage.

His mind houses cultivation techniques far surpassing any Nascent Soul in Jiuzhou.

In the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, he covers the four most important skills, strongest in arrays, followed by alchemy dao, and also includes talisman crafting and artifact refining.

He knows parts of the rest of the hundred skills too.

If Zhao Fu could know Jiang Ming’s cultivation knowledge, he could swiftly establish a new cultivation civilization, just as Jiang Ming established the Celestial Gate.

In Jiang Ming’s view, the cultivation techniques of the tribe era were too crude, not even worthy of being called cultivation.

True cultivation was summarized by Human Emperor Fuxi, supplemented by the Human Race through endless ages.

[Your consciousness falls into endless darkness.]

[Vaguely, you seem to see a woman, in the obscurity, she’s smiling at you, her smile gentle like a mother’s.]

[After unknown time, you regain consciousness.]

[You know it seems you’ve arrived at the second life.]

[Second life.]

[You’ve loaded the talent: Basic Comprehension Bonus (100 Spirit Points)]

"No Spirit Root?"

Seeing the Basic Comprehension Bonus, Jiang Ming is initially pleased, yet finds nothing else.

Jiang Ming’s face darkens.

Without a Spirit Root means no cultivation.

No matter how high the comprehension, it can only lead to martial arts, not cultivation.

[Southern Wilderness Realm, East Blood Plain]

[You feel as though you’re about to be born.]

[You have some expectations for a new life.]

[Yet you feel malice from the outside world.]

[This malice feels the same as when you encountered the fierce tiger back in the day.]

[You’re born, in the blur, you see a human head swiftly enlarge, its bloody mouth swallowing you whole.]

[Vaguely looking back, you see your mother of this life lying breathless on a stone platform.]

[You realize, this life is birthed in the territory of the Demon Race.]

[Endless pain rolls over you, and you die.]
