I have a cultivation simulator

Chapter 34 Simulation Ends

【"Um?"】

Who is it?

Although you focused all your attention on transforming your divine consciousness, you still sensed the changes in the outside world and opened your eyes almost immediately.

A cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining who is breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage does not lose all perception of the outside world.

The moment you opened your eyes, you saw a blood-red figure standing not far away, scrutinizing you from head to toe.

You were startled. This was a second-tier cave dwelling in the Azure Moon Immortal City, covered by a third-tier immortal city formation. Even a True Immortal would find it difficult to sneak in silently.

"My dear disciple, you've already forgotten your old man?"

The blood-red figure spoke, its voice aged.

【"you......"】

Your pupils suddenly contracted.

[Then he looked at the Mountain and Sea Ring worn on his right index finger.]

At this moment, the sky-blue Mountain and Sea Ring completely turned blood red, as if it contained a sea of ​​blood.

At the same time, you also discover that the blood-red Mountain and Sea Ring is almost fused with your physical body and cannot be removed.

"Are you the Blood Sea Immortal?"

In a flash, many thoughts rushed through your mind, and finally you looked at the blood-red figure not far away and spoke.

"Indeed, it is I, the true immortal."

The crimson figure stared at you and slowly said, "Back then, that old fellow from the Mountain and Sea Realm tried every means to lure me into the secret realm, using its power to wear down my physical body and golden core, and finally sealing my last wisp of soul with the Mountain and Sea Ring..."

"He knew that my cultivation technique, the 'Blood Sea Undying Technique,' was best at preserving my life, and that my spirit was formless and difficult to destroy directly. So he sealed me with the Mountain and Sea Ring, intending to slowly wear me down..."

The blood-red figure seems to have been sealed away for too long, with nowhere to confide in, which is why it's telling you all this.

However, you clearly felt that as the crimson figure spoke, the crimson Mountain and Sea Ring on its right index finger was constantly seeping into your body.

[It's obvious that the crimson figure said these things on purpose to attract your attention and buy you time so that the power of the Crimson Mountain and Sea Ring could better penetrate your body.]

"But he miscalculated. Because he used most of his power on me, the secret realm itself became unable to maintain itself, creating a loophole that attracted outside cultivators, who then brought out the Mountain and Sea Ring that sealed me... Hahahaha..."

The blood-red figure let out a maniacal laugh, clearly quite pleased with himself.

【"I see."】

Once you've calmed down, you ask, "What does Master need me to do?"

Although you sensed that Master Xuehai harbored ill intentions, you still intended to try.

"What are you planning to do?" The crimson figure stared at you, a hint of melancholy in his voice. "In my two hundred years of experience, this is the first time I've seen such... such a foolish person."

"Do you know how much I sacrificed to ensure you could successfully cultivate the 'Mountain and Sea Manual' to the Qi Refining stage? If it weren't for..."

The blood-red figure's tone subtly revealed a hint of rage.

You realize that the blood-red figure, acting as the spirit of the Mountain and Sea Ring, has indeed come at a great cost to you over the past decades in performing the Tendon-Changing and Marrow-Cleansing rituals on you.

"You don't need to do anything for me, just offer up this body." The crimson figure stared at you.

"You want to possess me?"

You asked the question.

"Not bad." The crimson figure was now confident of victory, and with the Blood Sea Ring secretly eroding your body, he was also interested in chatting with you a bit more. "If it weren't for nurturing this body of yours, why would I have paid such a high price for you?"

The blood-red figure's physical body and golden core were obliterated within the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm more than two hundred years ago.

[Only a wisp of soul remains, urgently needing to find a new physical body.]

Of course, he wouldn't even look down on the physical bodies of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.

That's why we made you cultivate the "Mountain and Sea Manual" and the "Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique," and spared no expense to help you transform your tendons and cleanse your marrow.

After the crimson figure finished speaking, it looked at you with great interest.

[At this moment, this Core Formation cultivator is very curious about your reaction.]

[Unwilling to accept defeat, rise up in resistance?]

[Should they still kowtow and beg for mercy?]

However, your reaction truly surprised the crimson figure.

After a moment of silence, you suddenly spoke up, "Could we wait until I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage first?"

As long as you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage first, even if you die the next moment, you can inherit your Foundation Establishment realm back to your original body, so it's not too much of a loss.

"Break through to Foundation Establishment first?" The blood-red figure didn't react in time.

He hadn't expected that even at this point, you were still thinking about breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage? Even if you did break through, what then? Would you even survive?

"You'd better stop struggling..." The blood-red figure looked at you, its tone growing colder.

At the same time, you also feel that the Blood Sea Ring on your right index finger is further eroding your physical body.

[It is estimated that the crimson figure has completed the first step of the infiltration and no longer needs to proceed in the shadows.]

"There's one more question..." you asked again.

The crimson figure fell silent, somewhat confused about what you were thinking.

[They're about to die, what's the point of asking more questions?]

"Are there any hidden dangers in the 'Mountain and Sea Manual' and 'Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique' that you gave me to practice?" you asked directly.

"Of course there are no hidden dangers. This is a legitimate ancient inheritance..." The crimson figure frowned. Your body is the vessel he possessed; how could he possibly allow you to cultivate a technique with hidden dangers?

"Could you please let me take a look at the Core Formation chapter of the *Shan Hai Jue*?"

You asked again.

The crimson figure who passed on the "Mountain and Sea Manual" to you only transmitted the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment chapters; the Core Formation chapter was not transmitted to you.

At the time, you didn't think much of it, after all, you weren't even at the Foundation Establishment stage yet, and Core Formation would be too early for you.

The crimson figure fell silent once more.

He's starting to wonder if you've gone crazy.

At this critical moment, you're asking such a nonsensical question?

Seeing the blood-red figure fall silent, you knew the other person had given up on communicating with you, and you couldn't help but sigh.

Meanwhile, the crimson figure that was constantly infiltrating your physical body and magical power with the Blood Sea Ring also noticed something was wrong.

[Because even when the power of the Blood Sea Ring completely permeated your body, you did not put up any resistance.]

Of course, in the mind of the crimson figure, whether you resist or not is meaningless. In fact, he had already predicted what kind of resistance you would mount, how you would mobilize the power of your physical body and blood, and how you would block the invasion of the Blood Sea Ring.

No matter what resistance you put in, the crimson figure can easily handle it; it's just a matter of time.

The one thing the blood-red figure didn't anticipate was that you would allow him to invade and infiltrate.

After penetrating and invading your physical body, the power of the Blood Sea Ring continues to penetrate your dantian's magical energy.

[No significant resistance was encountered during this period.]

"You are...?" The crimson figure observed you closely, vaguely discovering something, and asked in an absurd tone, "Are you undergoing a transformation of your divine consciousness?"

The transformation of divine consciousness is the first of the three stages of Foundation Establishment.

[You are attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, undergoing a transformation of your divine consciousness; the crimson figure is understandable.]

[But what time is it now? Your physical body and your magical power are almost completely infiltrated and invaded. What use is it to transform your divine consciousness at this point?]

You remain silent, focusing solely on the transformation of your divine consciousness.

As time passed, the crimson figure quickly permeated all thirteen drops of liquid mana within your dantian.

[Then, the power of the Blood Sea Ring controlled your physical body's blood and qi, along with your liquid mana, all heading towards your sea of ​​consciousness.]

At that moment, you finally completed the transformation of your divine consciousness.

You have passed the test of consciousness.

You have passed the tests of Qi and Blood, Mana and Spiritual Consciousness, and entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

You open your eyes and look at the blood-red figure again.

At this moment, you have lost control of your entire body, except for your consciousness.

"Has your divine sense completed its transformation? You intend to use the Foundation Establishment stage divine sense to escape and find a nearby Qi Refining stage cultivator to possess?"

The crimson figure seemed lost in thought. This was indeed your only chance of survival, however slim it may be, but at least there was still hope.

So far, all your performance has exceeded the expectations of the Crimson Figure. In his original plan, you had no chance of survival.

"Take your mother's house!"

A hint of madness flickered in your eyes.

[This is the Azure Moon Immortal City, filled with powerful arrays. Even if my divine sense manages to escape, it will be suppressed and refined by the arrays in an instant.]

[Then they were subjected to soul-searching.]

Besides, you don't think you can escape. Who can guarantee that Master Xuehai doesn't have other backup plans?

[You stared at the blood-red figure and unhesitatingly detonated your divine sense.]

[Your consciousness exploded instantly; under the horrified and furious gaze of the blood-red figure, your head burst open like a watermelon.]

【you are dead】

[This simulation has ended]
