Chapter 1: Simulation (1/1)

“Did I transmigrate?”

Ye Xiao lay on the bed, speechless. He had just finished a game of Valorant, and then he transmigrated.

And he had transmigrated into a man-eating cultivation world!

Come to think of it, the original host was a pitiful person too. His parents had died from the aftermath of a battle between immortals.

An elder of the Azure Cloud Sect had saved the dying original host and healed his injuries.

The original host took the elder as his master and successfully entered the Azure Cloud Sect.

Before he could even cultivate, Ye Xiao transmigrated over.

“Ding!”

A pleasant sound rang out in Ye Xiao’s mind.

Ye Xiao smirked. His cheat had arrived!

“Ding, host detected. Longevity Simulator activated.”

Host: Ye Xiao

Age: Eighteen years old

Lifespan: Forty-two years

Spiritual Root: Wood Spiritual Root

Realm: None

Cultivation Art: Longevity Art (Foundation Establishment cultivation art)

Simulations Available: Zero (Each simulation consumes ten years of lifespan)

Note: After each simulation ends, you may inherit all cultivation, items, memories, and so on from within the simulation.

After understanding the system’s functions, Ye Xiao decisively chose to simulate.

Lifespan -10.

【Begin Simulation】

【Day One. You attempt to simulate within the simulation, but it fails.】

【After you realize you cannot nest simulations, you begin cultivating diligently.】

【As an elder’s disciple, you live near your master’s cave residence, extremely safe.】

【You begin cultivating the Mystic-rank cultivation art your master gifted you, the Longevity Art.】

【This is a cultivation art focused on extending lifespan. After cultivating it, you can have twenty percent more lifespan than cultivators of the same stage.】

【But at the same time, your combat power is far weaker than other cultivators.】

【You follow the methods in the cultivation art and impatiently begin cultivating.】

【With your Wood Spiritual Root, your talent for cultivation is not poor.】

【Half a month later, through your unremitting efforts, you finally step into the first layer of Qi Refinement! Lifespan increased by sixty years.】

【An ordinary Qi Refinement cultivator only has a lifespan of one hundred years, but having cultivated the Longevity Art, you have a full one hundred and twenty years!】

【You tell your master this good news.】

【Your master is very happy and rewards you with ten Qi Gathering Pills.】

【These are essential pills for Qi Refinement cultivators. Each pill can save months of bitter cultivation.】

【Your master tells you that from now on, you can come collect five Qi Gathering Pills every month.】

【You are thrilled, believing you are about to take off.】

【Satisfied, you take the pills and return to cultivate.】

【After swallowing one Qi Gathering Pill, you feel your dantian instantly fill with spiritual power. The violent spiritual power rampages through your body, damaging your meridians.】

【You hastily circulate the Longevity Art, absorbing the rampaging spiritual power within your body.】

【A week later, relying on the Qi Gathering Pills, you successfully break through to the second layer of Qi Refinement.】

【Another week passes, and you break through to the third layer of Qi Refinement.】

【In just over half a month, having broken through three layers consecutively, you fear your foundation is unstable, so you seek out your master.】

【Seeing that you have cultivated to the third layer of Qi Refinement in less than a month, your master is overjoyed.】

【After learning why you came, he tells you to cultivate without worry and not to be concerned.】

【Having received your master’s answer, you relax, and at the same time bring up another matter.】

【Ye Xiao: “Master, this disciple has been in the sect for over half a month and has never looked around. Might I rest for two days and go out to take a look?”】

【Hearing this, your master, who had been amiable just a moment ago, instantly turns hideous.】

【He refuses your request without the slightest hesitation.】

【“No! Your cultivation is still too low. The matter of going out can wait until later!”】

【To keep you from overthinking, your master adds, “The sect has been uneasy lately. You should focus on cultivating. We can talk once your cultivation reaches Foundation Establishment.”】

【Hearing this, you frown but do not say much.】

【You return to your cave residence and continue cultivating.】

【Half a month later, you finish digesting the ten Qi Gathering Pills and raise your cultivation to the fifth layer of Qi Refinement.】

【A month has passed, and you once again come to your master’s cave residence, collecting five Qi Gathering Pills.】

【“Good, good! Hahaha!” Seeing you at the fifth layer of Qi Refinement, your master is overjoyed.】

【In a great mood, he decides to grant you a small request.】

【“What reward do you want? I can satisfy you with anything except going out.”】

【You think for a long time, and finally decide to have your master teach you spells.】

【“This disciple has cultivated for so long, yet apart from the cultivation art, I have no means of protecting myself. Might Master teach me a thing or two?”】

【Your master does not respond immediately, only gazing at you in thought for a moment. Then he says, “No problem. I will teach you spells right now.”】

【Saying this, your master tosses you two cultivation arts and a low-grade artifact flying sword.】

【You pick them up and see they are the Sword Control Art and the Fireball Art.】

【Just from the names, you know these are spells anyone can get.】

【Even so, you still thank your master.】

【Hearing this, your master waves his hand and says nothing more.】

【He has no intention whatsoever of teaching you personally.】

【Helpless, you can only go back and figure it out yourself.】

【Returning to your residence, you impatiently take out the Sword Control Art and the low-grade flying sword and begin studying.】

【Ever since transmigrating into the cultivation world, you had always looked forward to sword-riding flight. Now, it could finally come true.】

【After studying the Sword Control Art, you bite your finger and drip blood onto the flying sword to claim it as your own.】

【Then, following what the book says, you begin splitting off a thread of divine sense and spiritual power to control the flying sword.】

【Three days later, you have basically grasped the Sword Control Art and successfully entered the beginner stage.】

【You begin practicing the Fireball Art.】

【Five days later, your Fireball Art finally reaches the beginner stage.】

【The Fireball Art released with your Wood Attribute Spiritual Root is, without a doubt, far weaker than that of cultivators of the same stage.】

【You pay it no mind, swallow a Qi Gathering Pill, and begin cultivating.】

【A large amount of spiritual qi rampages through your body. You feel your meridians being damaged again.】

【The tearing of your meridians brings you immense pain. For the sake of cultivation, you grit your teeth and endure.】

【A day later, having absorbed the Qi Gathering Pill, you finally open your eyes.】

【Only then do you notice that a small amount of blood is already seeping from your body. You immediately feel something is wrong.】

【You hastily end your seclusion and seek out your master.】

【Your master tells you this is all normal and not to panic.】

【And he gives you thirty Qi Gathering Pills at once, telling you to stay in your room and cultivate, and not to run around.】

【Smart as you are, you have already realized something is wrong, but you do not show it.】

【You know you are only in a simulation. No matter what your master’s goal is, it will not affect the real you.】

【Besides, with your Qi Refinement cultivation, there is nothing you can do.】

【You return to your residence and continue cultivating.】
