Chapter 134: Immortal Jade Simulation
"It seems that while Immortal Jades in the Great Thousand Worlds cannot compare to those in the Immortal Realm, they are not as rare as I thought. Otherwise, a Great Ascension cultivator like Su Long from the Su family wouldn't have so many in his possession."
"A single Great Ascension cultivator has more Immortal Jades than the entire Southern Li Imperial family. This is practically forcing me to go to the Profound Yellow Great World!"
"I hope Mo Chengkong can extract some useful information."
Li Changsheng sighed. Originally, he had planned to consolidate his cultivation and then seek out Elder Gu to enter the Canlong Secret Realm, which he had accessed during his last simulation. After all, that realm attracted prodigies from various worlds, even the Immortal Realm, and many of them likely carried a significant amount of Immortal Jades.
But now he had another option.
"Recharge."
Li Changsheng opened the system panel and whispered.
[Recharge successful. Current balance: 8,924 coins.]
[Would you like to use the Cultivation Simulator? Each use costs 5,000 coins.]
"Use!"
Without hesitation, Li Changsheng confirmed. After obtaining over a hundred Immortal Jades from the Southern Li Imperial family, he had recharged them into the system. Unfortunately, it hadn't been enough for a single simulation. But now, with Su Long's Immortal Jades, he finally had enough for one simulation.
"Begin simulation."
[Simulation begins.]
[At the age of 145, you slew the Holy Demon Prince, subdued the Southern Li Imperial family, and solidified your position as the undisputed strongest in the Cangqing Realm.]
[After returning to the Tiannan Region, you captured Su Long, a descendant of the Su family from the Profound Yellow Great World, at the Su family's ancestral grounds. Under Mo Chengkong's interrogation, Su Long finally revealed that he had come from a secret teleportation array in Yangzhou.]
[You first sought out Ximen Xue, who was being pursued in the outer sea, and with a single finger, you killed Luo Mingyuan. However, this caught the attention of the giant whale of the outer sea.]
[The giant whale lashed its tail at you. Despite your full resistance, you were sent flying. You hastily fled on a jade boat with Ximen Xue.]
[Thirty years later, after recovering from your injuries, you arranged affairs at the Hundred Herbs Pavilion and alone made your way to the teleportation array mentioned by Su Long.]
[You successfully passed through the teleportation array and arrived at an ancient ruin in a neutral zone of the Profound Yellow Great World. Upon stepping out of the array, you were attacked by several vicious half-step Earth Immortals, whom you casually dispatched.]
[After staying in the Chaotic Star Domain for a month, you learned that this area lay at the border between the demon and human territories and was a lawless zone inhabited by notorious figures.]
[In the Chaotic Star Domain, you took on tasks daily to earn Immortal Jades, slowly building a reputation.]
[Three years later, the Golden Lion Mountain, a demonic faction, invited you to join them, offering an annual tribute of fifty thousand Immortal Jades. You accepted.]
[You became an external protector of Golden Lion Mountain, tasked with guarding one of their Immortal Mines.]
[At the age of 170, the Blazing Demon Mountain launched a surprise attack on the Immortal Mine. After slaying two Earth Immortals from Blazing Demon Mountain, you led the Golden Lion Mountain forces in retreat but were ambushed by a group of masked attackers. Their leader wielded the strength of an early-stage Heavenly Immortal. After a fierce battle, you unleashed your full power, severely injuring the masked leader.]
[The Golden Lion Mountain reinforcements arrived, and you were saved.]
[After this battle, your reputation soared. Your status and treatment within Golden Lion Mountain improved, and you became a key figure in their training programs.]
[At the age of 260, you successfully advanced to the mid-stage Earth Immortal realm.]
[At the age of 289, you entered the Canlong Secret Realm with the younger generation of Golden Lion Mountain to compete for opportunities. At the Tianlan Mountain, you found a Dragon Origin Fruit and encountered Han Zhicheng and others from the Glazed Great World. A conflict erupted between your factions, and you severely injured Han Zhicheng and another prodigy from the Glazed Great World. Taking advantage of the chaos, your group killed a powerhouse from the Glazed Great World, while the others self-destructed a divine artifact to cover their escape.]
[At the age of 290, you again encountered the Glazed Great World faction, led by a peerless prodigy who severely injured a direct descendant of Golden Lion Mountain with a single move. You intervened and battled Chen Yixian, an early-stage Heavenly Immortal from the Glazed Great World. After 837 moves, even with the Celestial Law Body, you were defeated, but Chen Yixian was also injured.]
[The Golden Lion Mountain forces escorted you as you fled the Canlong Secret Realm.]
[At the age of 440, you successfully advanced to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm.]
[You continued cultivating diligently within Golden Lion Mountain.]
[At the age of 690, you reached the peak Earth Immortal realm.]
[At the age of 700, you once again entered the Canlong Secret Realm with the younger generation of Golden Lion Mountain to compete for the legacy left by the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.]
[One month later, you encountered Chen Yixian within the secret realm. A battle ensued, and after 371 moves, you were seriously injured by Chen Yixian, who had now advanced to the Heavenly Immortal realm.]
[The Golden Lion Mountain forces covered your escape, but the Glazed Great World faction and a peerless prodigy from the Immortal Realm arrived and slaughtered your group!]
[You died!]
[Simulation ends!]
[Simulation complete. You may retain one of the following:]
[1. The cultivation realm at the age of 700.]
[2. The combat experience at the age of 700.]
"I lived quite long this time!"
Li Changsheng smiled.
The Golden Lion Mountain seemed like a decent place to stay. As long as he didn't enter the Canlong Secret Realm, he could potentially live even longer. He wondered what kind of opportunity the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions had left in the secret realm. Perhaps he could ask Elder Gu before leaving.
Although Elder Gu was just a wisp of a remnant soul, he knew quite a bit about things not blocked by his main body. In previous simulations, Elder Gu had even sent him into the Canlong Secret Realm. Surely, he knew a lot about it.
"Choose option one!"
As Li Changsheng made his choice.
"Boom!"
A powerful aura descended from Li Changsheng's body.
"Bang!"
Several minor bottlenecks were shattered!
Peak Earth Immortal realm achieved!
Li Changsheng opened his eyes and murmured, "If I had enough Immortal Jades, a few more simulations might get me to the Heavenly Immortal realm."
His current aptitude wasn't bad; in fact, even in the Immortal Realm, it was considered above average. Improving a minor realm in a few hundred years and a major realm in a thousand was standard practice.
Unfortunately, he was still a bit short on funds for another simulation!
Three days later.
With his cultivation stabilized, Li Changsheng exited his cave.
Su Qingyu and Mo Chengkong were already waiting outside.
Mo Chengkong paused slightly upon seeing Li Changsheng but quickly regained his composure.
He had noticed that the young master's cultivation had improved again, but he was now accustomed to Li Changsheng's rapid progress. He even suspected that the young master was the reincarnation of a major figure from the Immortal Realm.
Su Qingyu also smiled upon seeing Li Changsheng.
Mo Chengkong approached Li Changsheng and whispered, "Young master, Su Long has spilled everything he knows. There's a teleportation array in the Sheyang Mountain Range in Yangzhou in the Cangqing Realm. It can likely be repaired to connect to the Profound Yellow Great World."
"However, the Su family behind this kid is indeed not simple. They have True Immortal cultivators in their ranks and even have connections with some factions in the Immortal Realm."
"Fortunately, this kid stumbled upon the teleportation array in an ancient ruin within the Profound Yellow Great World and couldn't repair it himself. The Su family there is unaware of this passage."
"Hmm," Li Changsheng nodded.
Right now, he was still far from matching up to a True Immortal cultivator. While he could hold his own against an ordinary Heavenly Immortal, facing a prodigy from a Great World, especially one a whole realm above him, would be a different story.
Mo Chengkong glanced at Li Changsheng's expression and moved closer, whispering, "Also, members of Su Qingyu's branch of the Su family have arrived. How should we deal with them?"
