With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World

[After walking the cultivation path dozens of times, you are now experienced in your initial cultivation.]

The Xuanzhao Realm is essentially Qi Gathering, where you condense a True Essence Seed in your Dantian.

Activating the True Essence Seed allows you to perform some simple magic.

The Enlightenment Realm involves using this True Essence Seed to cleanse the body, most notably creating unusual phenomena in the eyes, enabling you to see things invisible to ordinary people.

Zhao Fu crossed two realms and directly stepped into Fusion.

The so-called Fusion Realm is merely the complete fusion of True Essence with the body, permeating every part of the flesh.

In other words, it’s like marinating the body with True Essence.

However...

In later generations,

The Qi Refining Realm is directly about condensing True Essence.

As True Essence expands, it fills the meridians from the Dantian.

There is no need to open meridians like a Martial Artist, for True Essence can rush through the meridians, then circulate within the body through the internal cycle.

There is no need for step-by-step progression; Qi Refining Realm reaches completion directly in one step.

Your reputation spreads widely.

Your name rises in Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain.

Everywhere, people say a genius disciple has emerged from the White Eyebrow Lineage.

In reality, in this era where the human population is far less than in later generations, the standards for genius are greatly lowered.

In later generations,

Dual Spirit Roots naturally aren’t a minor talent that can be ignored.

But even in large-scale Cultivation Realms, Dual Spirit Roots aren’t labeled as geniuses.

Not even in medium-sized Cultivation Realms.

In the Cultivation Realm, Dual Spirit Roots have another name.

Golden Core Seed.

This means they are considered geniuses only in places that value the Golden Core.

In other places, they are merely outstanding.

What is a true genius?

Celestial Spirit Root, Anomalous Spirit Root.

Unique constitutions, Demon Body, those with great Qi Fortune.

But in Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain,

Dual Spirit Roots are already considered geniuses.

Spirit Roots above them, like Celestial Spirit Root and unique constitutions, are genius demon-level.

[Half a year after entering, you have read numerous books.]

[You finally understood the generalities of the Star Sea.]

Star Sea.

Lies between the Central Domain and Eastern Domain, an inner sea.

Of course, this so-called inner sea applies to the entire Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.

In reality, for regions within and surrounding the Star Sea, it is an immense boundless sea area.

Within this vast sea area, a race that belongs to the Demon Race but does not listen to its orders was born.

Aquatic Race.

Also known as Sea Race.

The Sea Race are Demon Cultivators of the ocean.

Their cultivation system is broadly similar to the Demon Race’s.

They have their own system.

Rumors say that rivers flowing from the Star Sea and vast lakes, and even inner seas within other realms of Jiuzhou, have Sea Race presence.

Star Sea is naturally the domain of the Sea Race.

Ordinary Demon Race powers dare not invade the Sea Race’s territory.

However, the Sea Race usually live underwater.

While above the Star Sea, numerous islands are scattered.

The Human Race seized the opportunity, rooted on these islands, and developed their own civilization.

Of course, on this island archipelago, there are naturally Demon Race or other exotic races as well.

In the far east of Star Sea, rumors say there are Witch Clan tribes.

But undoubtedly, formed Demon Race powers do not appear on Star Sea.

Thus, the Human Race inhabits a relatively less oppressive environment.

For the vast ocean,

these islands that occasionally surface are insignificant in size.

The Human Race cannot live underwater, and the Sea Race has little interest in eating humans.

In fact, more within the Sea Race practice the Divine Beast Self-Path, scoffing at the Demon Race’s transformation.

In this environment, the Human Race developed their resplendent civilization.

Just like Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain.

It actually governs thirty-one kingdoms surrounding it.

Thirty-one kingdoms lie on three islands.

For Star Sea, these are islands, but for ordinary people, these are three continents.

Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain recruits disciples from within the thirty-one kingdoms.

When disciples mature, they are tasked with driving away the Demon Race and even suppressing the Sea Race within the Three Islands Sea Region.

Expanding outward.

Turning more barren islands into places for Human Race to live.

This system of Immortal Mountain leading islands and kingdoms pervades the entire Star Sea.

Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain is just one of them.

However, many places in Star Sea still consist of uninhabited islands.

"It’s said that when the Human Race rooted here, there was no cultivation system like today."

"Only the most basic Inner Strength of ordinary Martial Artists."

"But ordinary Martial Artists continued pioneering new paths and expanding externally."

"Body Refining, Meridian Opening, turning Acquired into Innate, and from Innate going further, countless Celestial Prides forcibly crafting a path."

"Star Sea is situated between Witch Race and Demon Race, consistently absorbing Human Race whose cultivation ideas were influenced by Witch and Demon Race, and even Half-Demon Half-Witches escaping to Star Sea."

"Cultivation ideas from Witch and Demon Race directly created the cultivation system of this so-called cultivation path."

"Cultivation initiated a longing for immortality."

"Also initiated a desire for freedom."

"From then on, the Path of Cultivation began to flourish."

Yet all cultivators had little hope for the future.

Even strong ones hoped to see more strong individuals arise, compete with the Demon Race for more territory, and grow the population."

Who would have thought the Path of Cultivation would eventually radiate to surrounding worlds."

[So that’s how it is, you finished noting everything down.]

[Many Humans struggling beneath the Witch and Demon Race surfaced in your mind; you feel somewhat helpless.]

[All you can do is await Human Race’s rise and hasten this process.]

When the Human Emperor Era arrives.

The Human Race truly stands tall.

[You cultivate painstakingly day and night atop the Immortal Mountain.]

[This era’s resources far exceed those of later generations, so you don’t need to rush for resources.]

[The main thing is the Hundred Skills of Cultivation hadn’t developed yet.]

[What cultivators require for so-called cultivation resources is quite little; most resources can’t be utilized.]

[A year and a half after entering, you surpass Fusion.]

[A year and a half of accomplishing Essence Refining into Qi is a feat even the Sect Leader is astonished by.]

[Yet soon, you’re stuck at the next realm.]

"Fusion Realm merely fuses True Essence with the body..."

"Why not continue compressing True Essence, concentrate True Essence..."

"Instead, directly cross into the next realm..."

"Heartbeat? Exploring the inner self?"

Zhao Fu is somewhat puzzled.

This differs from his understanding of cultivation.

Qi Refining is about constantly refining True Essence, improving quality and quantity.

Eventually leading to qualitative change, gaseous True Essence compresses into liquid, entering Foundation Establishment.

But now?

Not chasing True Essence’s quantity and quality.

Instead, merely permeating True Essence through the body, initially achieving transcendence, and starting Heartbeat Realm cultivation.

"Exploring the inner self..."

In this stage, cultivators experience soul stir, with deeper insights and reflections on their path of cultivation and worldly matters.

At this time, cultivators truly scrutinize their inner desires, facing internal trials and temptations.

Failing to address these turbulent emotions may lead to mad deviation.

"Cultivation of Heart Demon..."

Zhao Fu murmured.

[This cultivation path seems somewhat subjective to you.]

[You move on, starting to practice other techniques.]

[Magics reference Demon Race, Body Skills reference Witch Race.]

[Both are quite complete.]

[You quickly grasp them.]

[Meanwhile, you begin practicing Cyan Cloud Seven Divine Swords.]

Many paths within cultivation were inspired by Witch and Demon Race.

Because these two races are the true Celestial Prides.

However, some things are unique to the Human Race.

For example... the Sword Dao!

The sword stems from early spears and halberds and other weapons.

The stone-crafted sharp dual-edged tool can be seen as the sword prototype.

Later, the sword was given more meaning in ordinary life.

In Sword Dao, the sword represents the most primal meaning.

Slaughter, safeguarding the Way.
