With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World

[You successfully defeated the second Saint Heir and replaced her position.]

[At the age of ninety-five, you failed in your challenge to the first Saint Heir. This would be your last attempt against him, as differing talents mean you can only strive to chase his shadow.]

[At ninety-six, the first Saint Heir became the tenth True Master of Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain.]

[The tenth vein was established, and disciples began to be widely recruited.]

[You succeeded the position of first Saint Heir.]

[At one hundred and nine years old, great changes occurred in the Tang Kingdom, land annexation became serious, and peasant uprisings were frequent.]

[The Rebel Army challenged the Five Great Gate Valves who controlled the authority of the entire nation.]

At this time, the Mortal Dynasty was ultimately not the Immortal Dynasty of later generations.

The territory was relatively small, and likewise, there was a lifecycle for dynasties.

When social contradictions reach a certain degree, civil war erupts.

Until, because of the war, the population dwindles, the old ruling class is cleansed by bloodshed, and a new ruling class is born.

Contradictions ease, a new dynasty is established, entering a golden era.

So the cycle continues.

Even dynasties possessing the power of Transcendents follow this pattern.

The origin of all cultivators stems from the Immortal Mountain.

Cultivators educated by the Immortal Mountain will not take up knives against the civilians.

On the contrary, when a kingdom is about to fall, demons emerge frequently.

Most cultivators and Innate Martial Artists will suppress those demons and ghosts that rise during chaotic times.

Once the war is over, a new dynasty is founded, and they establish new transcendent organizations.

For cultivators inherently do not meddle in mortal affairs.

[But you are ultimately of Zhao Family descent.]

[When the war began, you forcibly intervened, distributing the Zhao Family’s two-hundred-year accumulated land to desperate citizens.]

[Your seniority in the Zhao Family is remarkably high, being the very foundation of the entire Zhao Family.]

[Even those elderly stubborn ones with white hair must kneel before you and call you uncle or elder.]

[Under the dual suppressions of seniority and strength, even the most deluded Zhao Family member can only follow your orders.]

[Ninety-five percent of the Zhao Family assets were exhausted, cutting ties with the Imperial Court.]

[The mortals within the situation have not opened Heaven’s Eye, unaware it’s the kingdom’s twilight.]

[But in the perceptive eyes of cultivators, mortal affairs are like the veins on leaves, incredibly clear.]

[The Zhao Family dispersing their assets eased some social contradictions, but rebellions still erupted.]

[After seven years of chaotic war, under the rule that Immortal Mountain does not permit the chaos of warlord conflicts, a new central dynasty was established, turning Zhao Family into a regional power, and its life or death thereafter had nothing to do with you.]

[Disregarding worldly matters, you continued cultivating.]

[At one hundred and thirty-nine, the Golden Core Master of Cyan Cloud’s second vein sat in meditation permanently.]

[At one hundred and forty-five, the second Saint Heir condensed a Golden Core, once again becoming part of Cyan Cloud’s tenth vein.]

[At one hundred and sixty-one, you condensed a Golden Core, becoming part of Cyan Cloud’s eleventh vein.]

The aura soared into the heavens.

Zhao Fu exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Upon leaving to announce the breakthrough, obtaining a new identity token, and gaining the privileges of various Immortal Mountain Masters.

Zhao Fu returned to the Cave Mansion.

"One hundred and eighty years old!"

"The lifespan at Heartbeat Realm only lasts one hundred and eighty years!"

"It seems I can live to over two hundred and ten years because of reincarnation."

"But a breakthrough at one hundred and sixty-one is still a relatively dangerous age."

"Compared to later generations, the lifespan of Heartbeat Realm in this era falls far short of Foundation Establishment."

"But the bottleneck is too big!"

"Spirit Silence Peak—no, now it’s Heartbeat Peak, and there is a vast chasm between Heartbeat Peak and Early-Stage Golden Core."

"Moreover, the Gold Condensing Pill to increase the breakthrough rate of Golden Core doesn’t exist yet, not even most Golden Core Spiritual Objects have been discovered."

"Totally breaking through with sheer determination."

"Not only that, but breaking through from Qi Refining to Heartbeat Realm is also a forceful breakthrough."

"Cultivation difficulty far surpasses future generations."

"And lifespan is lower than future generations."

"The lifespan of the Golden Core Realm... is only five hundred years."

Zhao Fu perceived his own state.

"Not just this."

"The Golden Core I condensed is extremely weak, incomparable to the Golden Core Masters in the dream of later generations."

"Even compared to Demon Cultivators of the Demon Body Realm, there is a vast difference."

"No wonder those Demon Cultivators mock the frailty of the Human Race."

"Such a Golden Core probably requires a lot of time to re-condense the Golden Core, consuming so much time—where is the time to break through to Nascent Soul?"

"Not to mention there is no Nascent Soul Pill here, not even any handbooks with Nascent Soul Formation experiences."

Zhao Fu sighed.

He stepped out.

No wonder all Golden Core Masters, the first thing they do upon finishing secluded meditation is to widely recruit disciples.

Because only after they break through do they realize attempting to break through to Nascent Soul is a tremendously difficult task.

[Even Half-Demons, non-Longevity species in Late-Stage Demon Pill, have a lifespan of four hundred years.]

[But Golden Core Masters have a lifespan of less than five hundred years.]

[After the True Master ceremony, you began recruiting disciples widely.]

[According to the rules, after a Golden Core Master falls, their sect no longer recruits disciples, all admitted disciples that do not break through by a certain age must leave the Immortal Mountain.]

[The new Golden Core Master then recruits disciples widely.]

[You follow the True Masters’ rules, systematically developing disciples, spreading your cultivation ideology.]

[You possess the experience of sixteen lifetimes, have the Witch Race Body Forging Technique, Demon Clan Techniques, and experience from lifetimes as a Half-Demon cultivating a Demon Body.]

[Yet among the Golden Core Masters whose average aptitude has greatly increased, you seem indistinguishable from others, breaking through to Nascent Soul becoming virtually impossible.]

[Like all Golden Core Masters, you pin hope on your disciples.]

[Only one exception exists—that being the original first Saint Heir, Xiao Lin, possessing a Fire Attribute Celestial Spirit Root, who had few disciples, focusing solely on cultivation.]

[All Golden Core Masters, including you, are willing to direct resources to him.]

[At two hundred and three years, a new round of Human and Demon Race wars commenced, albeit only involving three Immortal Mountains, on a small scale; within this, you killed a Demon Cultivator of Demon Body Realm, and the war was victorious again.]

[At two hundred and thirty-one, news arrived that an Immortal Mountain in the Southern District was occupied by the Demon Country, its disciples and mortal civilians were plundered by the Demon Country, replenishing their Human Circle.]

[In the Southern District, the largest war was initiated, all Immortal Mountains participated, sparing no cost to reclaim dignity.]

[Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain is too distant to interfere, only awaiting further news or war scale expansion for entire Star Sea Immortal Mountain engagement.]

[At two hundred and forty-five, news arrived that the Human Race reclaimed the Immortal Mountain, yet suffered numerous losses simultaneously.]

[At two hundred and fifty-one, White Eyebrow passed away, leaving no one to mentor you.]

[The same year, the seventh vein Golden Core passed away.]

[Cyan Cloud Immortal Mountain returned to nine veins.]

[In the following decades, no events transpired.]

[At three hundred and ninety-one, with hair grown white, resembling an elder.]

In this era, the Path of Cultivation clearly cannot ensure eternal youth.

[You discovered an exceptionally gifted disciple among mortals, taking him as a disciple, guiding him as White Eyebrow once guided you.]

[You hope he could become the future hope for the Immortal Mountain.]

[At four hundred and twenty-one, you were exceedingly versed in the Path of Water and Wood.]

[During travels, you befriended a Sea Race Daoist friend, exchanging Dao insights in an underwater Water Palace.]

[Profiting immensely, you achieved a significant gain in the Water Element.]

[At four hundred and thirty-two, your disciple broke through to the Heartbeat Realm, setting a new record for the fastest breakthrough in your sect, bringing you great satisfaction.]

......

[At four hundred and fifty-five, you pursued a Demon Cultivator invading the mortal territory of the Immortal Mountain, devouring countless civilians, until the Demon Country, finally slaying it.]

[You infiltrated the Demon Country intending to return to the Immortal Mountain.]

[Unexpectedly, you discovered an incredibly ancient Teleportation Array.]

[You accidentally activated it.]

[The world spun, teleporting you out.]

[You used the Demon Pill to evoke Demon Qi, employing Transformation Skills to alter your appearance, coupled with Half-Demon experiences from past lives.]

[You successfully integrated into the local area, knowing it as the boundary of the Western Realm and Northern Domain.]

[While Star Sea lies at the boundary of the Central Domain and Eastern Domain, separated by half a world in distance.]
