I have a cultivation simulator

Chapter 74 The Great Oath of the Inner Demon

[The Blood Sea Immortal's thoughts were complex]

Over the past few decades, he has made numerous attempts to break the seal on the jade box.

But all attempts failed.

【in this way】

[Blood Sea Immortal naturally knew that he had just escaped the seal of the secret realm, only to fall into other sealing methods.]

Having been sealed for two or three hundred years, Blood Sea Immortal has little power left and is unable to break the seal on the jade box.

Originally, even Blood Sea Immortal had given up hope, as the sealed jade box had remained unopened even once in decades.

This made Blood Sea Immortal wonder if he had been forgotten.

[Or perhaps, the being who sealed him away had no idea he was inside the Blood Sea Ring?]

And so, decades have passed, and we live to this day.

[The Blood Sea Immortal finally noticed that the sealed jade box was beginning to loosen and was subsequently opened.]

At first, Master Xuehai intended to feign composure, concealing his aura as much as possible and remaining still to observe the situation.

[Just one sentence, "Come out now or not," made Blood Sea Master realize that his existence had already been discovered.]

Therefore, Master Xuehai did not hesitate to choose to flee.

Having been trapped in the sealed jade box for decades, Master Xuehai knew very well that in his current state, he was definitely no match for the being that had sealed him.

However, by the time Blood Sea Immortal's spirit escaped and he could clearly see the surrounding situation...

[The thought of fleeing vanished immediately.]

[In the air from all directions, talismans exuding a terrifying sealing aura shattered Blood Sea Immortal's hopes of escape.]

[More than a hundred sealing talismans, even the weakest one, reached the mid-grade of the second rank, which is beyond what True Immortal Blood Sea can currently contend with.]

Not to mention, beyond the more than one hundred sealing talismans, there was a vast and powerful suppressing array.

[Even if Blood Sea True Man is now just a wisp of his soul, in his prime, with his physical body, golden core, and magical treasures, he still couldn't withstand the vast and overwhelming suppressive array outside.]

[Blood Sea Master looked at the round-faced man who had been staring at him for more than ten meters.]

A strange fluctuation was faintly emanating from the space between the other person's brows, clearly indicating that they were protected by a divine soul treasure.

[Blood Sea Immortal sighed, looked at you, and slowly said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist."]

"You're not running away anymore?"

After observing Blood Sea Immortal for a while, you spoke.

[You did not reveal that you knew Xuehai Zhenren, but instead addressed him as "Your Excellency"]

"Fellow Daoist, you've gone to such great lengths for this remnant soul of mine. I won't try to escape... I can't escape anyway..."

[The Blood Sea Immortal spoke slowly.]

"Can't escape?"

You immediately understand.

Although it's unclear whether Blood Sea Master's words are true or false, it at least shows that the other side wasn't confident of escaping either.

Otherwise, there would be no need for us to talk here.

"What does this fellow Daoist wish to do?"

[Blood Sea Immortal spoke.]

Although Blood Sea Immortal is unaware of your purpose, given the methods you've displayed so far, it's only a matter of time before you annihilate this wisp of his soul.

Even if he isn't annihilated, and is trapped for decades or centuries, the Blood Sea Immortal will eventually die of old age due to his lifespan limit.

The maximum lifespan of a Core Formation cultivator is only five hundred years, while the Blood Sea cultivator is already over four hundred years old.

The reason they haven't taken action is probably because there's room for negotiation.

[“Surely you will stop resisting and allow me to search your soul?” You state your request directly.]

This is also what you most want to do.

What a precious treasure the memories of a Core Formation cultivator must be!

Unfortunately, the soul-searching technique cannot search from below to above.

Foundation Establishment, Soul Searching, and Core Formation? Absolutely impossible, even if the latter is extremely weak.

[Unless this Core Formation cultivator is willing to give up all resistance and allow his soul to be searched.]

【"Soul Searching..."】

Blood Sea Immortal shook his head, "Fellow Daoist, please choose another one."

Clearly, Blood Sea Immortal wouldn't allow you to search his soul.

[You're not surprised by this]

In the previous two simulations, since True Immortal Xuehai dared to choose to possess someone else's body, whether it was Ye Feng or you,

[They are definitely preparing to quickly return to the Core Formation stage.]

[For example, leaving behind a cave dwelling containing numerous cultivation resources, just waiting for you to retrieve them?]

Although a Core Formation cultivator who possesses the body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator doesn't need to break through the Core Formation bottleneck again, the vast resources required to progress from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation are still necessary.

[Once you discover and take away my prepared backup plan, even if True Immortal Blood Sea regains his freedom, it will be difficult for him to return to the Core Formation stage in a short period of time.]

This outcome is unacceptable to Blood Sea Master.

What can you give me?

You gazed at Blood Sea Immortal and spoke calmly.

So far, you don't know much about Blood Sea Immortal, so it's better to wait for him to reveal his trump card.

"What will you get?"

[The Blood Sea Immortal looked at you, pondered for a moment, and said, "You haven't formed your core yet. How about this? I know the location of a Core Formation spiritual plant. If you let me leave, I will tell you its location. What do you say?"]

"Don't worry, I discovered that Core Formation spiritual plant by accident. It wasn't mature yet, so I set up an array around it. No one below the True Person level could possibly find it."

[Blood Sea Master added]

"A Core Formation Spiritual Object!"

You were instantly smitten.

[Since becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator decades ago, apart from exchanging Ye Feng for a 'Nine-Bend Frost Spirit Ginseng,' you've had absolutely no chance to obtain any other Core Formation spiritual items.]

【"not enough."】

Although your heart was moved, you responded calmly.

"Fellow Daoist, I've been sealed away for so long, and this is the only place where I'm confident the Core Formation artifacts are still there..." Blood Sea Immortal sighed.

Upon hearing this, you continued, "Provide five more skill inheritances, at least third-tier skill inheritances."

"The inheritance of five third-tier skills..." Master Xuehai frowned, but finally nodded and said, "Alright."

Seeing that Blood Sea Immortal agreed so readily, you secretly wondered if you had asked for too little.

【only】

[A Core Formation spiritual artifact and five third-tier skill inheritances have already met your minimum requirements.]

You know the importance of knowing when to stop.

"Then please speak now, sir."

Look at Blood Sea Immortal and ask him to reveal the location of that Core Formation spiritual object.

"Fellow Daoist is joking. What if I reveal this now and then seal me up again?" Blood Sea Immortal shook his head and said.

He doesn't expect you to release him first, but revealing the location of the Core Formation elixir without any guarantees is something Blood Sea True Person naturally won't do.

"What do you suggest we do?"

[You are looking at the Blood Sea Immortal]

"Why don't you first make a solemn oath against your inner demons, promising to release me afterward..." Blood Sea Immortal immediately said.

[Once the oath to overcome inner demons is made, if it is not kept, the difficulty of the inner demon tribulation faced when attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage will increase dramatically, almost guaranteeing failure.]

[True Master Xuehai has noticed your unusual interest in Core Formation spiritual items, which clearly indicates your determination to break through to the Core Formation stage.]

Since they aspire to form their core, they must yearn to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, the Great Oath of the Inner Demon should have a considerable binding force on you.

Of course, nothing is absolute. If you are willing to voluntarily sever your path to the Nascent Soul stage and violate the Great Oath of the Heart Demon, then even the Blood Sea Immortal can't do anything about it.

Now, Master Xuehai has no other choice. Facing you, Master Xuehai is at a disadvantage in every way and can only place his hopes on the fact that you will abide by the Great Oath of the Heart Demon.

"A vow made by inner demons?"

Your expression remained unchanged, but a strange feeling welled up inside you.

At the end of each simulation, you will only inherit pure cultivation level, skills, techniques, and everything else.

As for other negative effects... karma, vows, constraints, etc., will all be erased and will not affect your true form.

In other words, the causal oath's effect on you is limited to this one simulation; it will cease to exist once the next simulation begins.
