Chapter 98 Settlement Talent
The virtual font changes rapidly.
The simulation eventually stopped at the line "[This simulation has ended]".
Zhou Qing sighed softly, feeling a mix of emotions.
Compared to the previous two simulations, the third simulation was far more dramatic and spectacular.
It has not only experienced two hundred years, but has also witnessed many major events that have shaken the entire region.
For example, Biyue sold the Immortal City, and the Demon Lord devoured all cultivators...
And the Great Domain War, which lasted for over a hundred years and claimed the lives of countless cultivators.
"I wonder if Da Chun passed the final trial..."
""
Zhou Qing was quite curious and looked up in one direction.
Secluded Mountain.
This mountain range, located in the mortal realm, definitely has a great history.
"Originating from ancient times?"
Zhou Qing stroked his chin, deep in thought.
When the armored guardian deity bestowed numerous rewards, many of these treasures and rare items were only found in ancient times.
The Golden Core that Zhou Qing longed for could not be refined at all after the ancient times.
That's why a lower-spec version of the "Crystal Condensation Pill" was created.
Why is it called "Golden Core Formation"? Because Foundation Establishment cultivators who take this pill aim to form a Golden Core.
As for fake pills? In ancient times, fake pills were also called pseudo-real people, and many Golden Elixir Real People did not even believe that fake pills were real people.
In ancient times... Zhou Qing's cultivation of the "Mountain and Sea Manual" originated from the ancient Mountain and Sea lineage.
The True Master of the Mountain and Sea Sect, in his youth, entered the ruins of the Mountain and Sea lineage by chance and obtained the corresponding inheritance.
"I'll see what secrets Youshan holds in the next simulation."
Zhou Qing was certain, even though he had mastered the secret technique for entering and leaving Youshan.
But it's impossible to enter Youshan in reality.
That's too dangerous.
And the returns are also the lowest.
Zhou Qing only needs to go once for each simulation.
"The current Seven Fiends Demon Lord is at the peak of the Core Formation stage... He will attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in about forty years and successfully ascend to the True Lord realm..."
Zhou Qing's thoughts raced as he thought of the Demonic True Lord who had brought endless disasters to the Taiyuan Domain in the simulation.
In the simulation, Zhou Qing naturally investigated the information about this Demon Lord very thoroughly.
Since the Seven Fiends Demon Lord has already risen to the rank of True Lord, it is not difficult to obtain certain information about him.
Even the Nine Nether Demonic Sect, in order to enhance its own prestige, would actively promote information about the past of the Seven Fiend Demon Lord.
Of course, none of the information disseminated involves any secrets.
But that information, if placed decades ago, would be considered top secret intelligence.
Just as Zhou Qing's thoughts were in turmoil.
The illusory font, which had been stagnant, began to change again.
Please select one of the following inheritance options.
[Part 1: All cultivation levels, realms, skills, techniques, memories, etc. in the simulation]
[Part Two: A Treasure That Belongs to You in the Simulation]
"Can it be inherited?"
Zhou Qing was in a joyful mood.
In the simulation, he painstakingly cultivated himself for two hundred years. Before attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage, he even conducted a wave of verification and monetization. Wasn't all of this to inherit all his gains into his physical body?
Cultivation level, realm, skills, memories, and everything else can be inherited by the original body.
In the simulation, Zhou Qing's final cultivation level was Foundation Establishment Perfection, with a mid-stage second-tier physical body, many skills reaching the second tier, and the secret techniques he mastered were vast and numerous.
"Now we inherit."
Zhou Qing was about to choose one when he suddenly stopped.
"wrong...
"7
Zhou Qing suddenly realized that he was still in Biyue Immortal City.
The True Person Biyue was less than a hundred miles away from him.
At this point, everything in the inheritance simulation is inherited.
The "Mountain and Sea Manual" that he was cultivating would immediately be able to advance to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
Will this be noticed by Master Biyue?
Through the third simulation, Zhou Qing clearly understood that True Person Biyue had an ambiguous relationship with the former Sect Master of the Mountain and Sea Sect.
Did the other party notice the use of the Mountain and Sea Magic?
In the simulation, Zhou Qing lived in Biyue Immortal City for decades without being discovered by Biyue Zhenren.
But that's for those with cultivation levels in the early, middle, and late stages of Foundation Establishment.
The immediate advancement to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment is something that has never been experienced in the simulation.
"It cannot be inherited within the Immortal City."
Zhou Qing made up her mind.
Although True Person Biyue was a hundred miles away, the fluctuations of the Mountain and Sea magic power of the ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator were barely perceptible.
But now it's reality, and Zhou Qing is unwilling to take even the slightest risk.
In the simulation, Zhou Qing might choose to test the waters, since there's always room for error.
It will not affect the main body.
But in reality? Naturally, the safest approach is to be as cautious as possible.
"Run! Run!"
Zhou Qing immediately got up, intending to leave Biyue Immortal City.
With so many spiritual veins and dojos in the Taiyuan Domain, there's no need for me to stubbornly cling to Biyue Immortal City.
After cancelling the lease on the cave dwelling, Zhou Qing successfully left Biyue Immortal City.
Nothing unexpected happened during that time.
Only after leaving Biyue Immortal City did Zhou Qing head towards Luofeng Mountain.
In the simulation, I reached the peak of Foundation Establishment in Luofeng Mountain without attracting any attention.
Luofeng Mountain, a mid-grade second-tier spiritual vein, should be the residence of a Foundation Establishment family at this time.
A month later.
Zhou Qing successfully arrived near Luofeng Mountain.
"Choose option one."
""
Zhou Qing looked at the options below her gaze.
A choice was made immediately.
In an instant, an invisible aura rapidly gathered within his body.
Within his dantian, drops of liquid magical power condensed.
Twenty drops of liquid magic.
Fifty drops of liquid magic.
One hundred drops of liquid magic.
One hundred and thirty-three drops of liquid mana.
At the same time, memories of two hundred years flooded into Zhou Qing's mind.
Zhou Qing quickly scanned through all the techniques as if watching a movie, and inherited the level of mastery of all the techniques.
His physical body has also reached the mid-stage of the second tier.
"Is this the peak moment in the simulation?"
A smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face. Due to the inheritance, he instantly and perfectly adapted to his current strength without any discomfort.
After all, the person he was in the simulation was also Zhou Qing.
"A Foundation Establishment Perfection at seventeen, and it's the Foundation Establishment Perfection achieved through cultivating an ancient inheritance!"
Zhou Qing closed his eyes and carefully felt every bit of himself.
Needless to say, in terms of magical power, the Mountain and Sea's magical power, in terms of both quality and quantity, is stronger than that of other normal Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators.
In terms of divine sense, even without the aid of the divine soul treasure, Zhou Qing's divine sense can still cover an area of two hundred feet.
Compared to the initial Foundation Establishment stage where the area was only twenty or thirty feet in diameter, Zhou Qing's divine sense coverage diameter has increased tenfold.
"Whoosh!"
Zhou Qing suddenly reached out and drew a talisman in the air.
One by one, talismans materialized out of thin air and stood in different positions, forming an array.
The power of each talisman intertwines and merges with each other.
It faintly exudes fluctuations that surpass the limits of Foundation Establishment.
"The art of rune arrays!"
In the last ten years or so of the third simulation, Zhou Qing was being hunted down by Master Tonghai. It was precisely by relying on this talisman array technique that he blocked the fake Core Formation Master's attacks multiple times.
The art of talisman arrays is a fusion of the Dao of Talismans and the Dao of Arrays, and very few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators master it.
In other words, Zhou Qing, after decades of continuous study and practice following the third simulation, finally mastered and comprehended many techniques by sheer luck.
The various arts of cultivating immortality, once mastered, can all be developed into their own methods of attack.
"Not bad, not bad."
Zhou Qing nodded slightly, knowing that with his talisman array technique, he could easily sweep away most Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators.
The emoticon continued to change.
[Settling your simulation experience...]
In this simulation, you experienced a complete Great Domain War, witnessing firsthand the domineering and cruelty of demonic cultivators on numerous occasions.
.】
You harbor extreme fear of demonic cultivators...
Watching the constantly flashing virtual text.
Zhou Qing felt slightly serious, because he knew that the talent assessment would be next.
At the end of each simulation, a talent will be calculated based on the simulation experience.
"Demonic cultivator..."
"7
Zhou Qing nodded to himself. In the third simulation, the demonic cultivators had indeed affected him, especially the Seven Fiend Demon Lord swallowing all the cultivators in the city in one gulp, and Bi Yue... the Demon Lord opening up a new domain.
Furthermore, during the century-long Great Domain War, the demonic army repeatedly invaded the Taiyuan Domain, using all living beings as their sustenance.
[You have awakened a purple talent—]
[The Natural Enemy of Demonic Cultivators]
[Natural Enemy of Demonic Cultivators: You can restrain any demonic cultivator. Any attack you launch will be amplified by 50% to 100% when it hits a demonic cultivator, while attacks from demonic cultivators will be reduced by 30% to 50% when they hit you.]
You are the natural enemy of countless demonic cultivators in the world.
"Purple talent...the nemesis of demonic cultivators?"
Zhou Qing was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed.
"As expected of a purple talent!"
Zhou Qing immediately realized the terrifying nature of this talent.
Increases own attack power by 50% to 100%? And reduces enemy damage by 30% to 50%?
You should know that in a battle between cultivators of the same level, even if the power is 10% or 20% higher, the outcome can be decided. If it is 50% to 100% higher, the outcome can be decided.
Even if it's not a complete rout, the difference isn't that much.
Not to mention it can also reduce damage.
The only drawback is that this talent can only be used against demonic cultivators.
Of course, without this restriction, this talent wouldn't be purple; it would at least be a gold talent.
"Demonic cultivation? Demonic cultivation is fine too."
Zhou Qing composed himself.
The Taiyuan Domain is the domain of the Taiyuan Palace, which rejects demonic cultivators. Therefore, demonic cultivators are rarely seen in the Taiyuan Domain.
But what about outside the Taiyuan Domain?
Leaving aside the Nine Nether Domain, it is a major domain dominated by demonic cultivators.
In the wild and desolate areas outside the various major domains alone, nearly half of the countless tribulation cultivators and evil cultivators are demonic cultivators.
There was no other way; demonic cultivation techniques could be mastered quickly. For the vast majority of cultivators, regardless of whether they needed to expend their own potential, the first priority was to survive in the cruel wilderness.
In the later simulations, if Zhou Qing has designs on the Heavenly Infant Fruit, he will inevitably clash with True Person Biyue.
Biyue Zhenren is essentially a demonic cultivator. By utilizing the talent that is the natural enemy of demonic cultivators, Zhou Qing's chances of defeating Biyue Zhenren will be much greater.
Demonic cultivators use unpredictable methods, and with this talent protecting him, Zhou Qing is much more at ease when facing other demonic cultivators.
For over a hundred of the next two hundred years, the Taiyuan Domain faced the rampant threat of demonic cultivators.
"It is said that in ancient times, there was an invasion from the demon realm, with countless demons pouring in. It's just unknown whether these so-called demons can be considered demonic cultivators..."
'
Zhou Qing's thoughts went further, but they couldn't be verified at the moment.
"We'll try it again during the simulation later."
Zhou Qing collected his thoughts.
After the talent calculations were completed, the third simulation ended completely.
Zhou Qing looked down at the illusory text below her gaze once more.
Name: Zhou Qing
Race: Human
[Cultivation Strength: Foundation Establishment Level 9]
[Body Cultivation Strength: Mid-Second Tier]
[Skills: Tier 2 High-Grade Alchemist, Tier 2 High-Grade Talisman Master, Tier 2 Low-Grade Weapon Refiner, Tier 2 Low-Grade Array Master, Tier 2 Low-Grade Poison Master, Tier 2 Low-Grade Puppet Master, Tier 2 Low-Grade Diviner...]
Age: 17
[Talents: Nemesis of Alveolar Poison, Unyielding Will, Nemesis of Demonic Cultivators]
Number of simulations: 0
The two hundred years in the third simulation were not only a period of great growth in cultivation and strength, but also a period of great breakthrough in Zhou Qing's skills.
He has mastered seven second-tier skills, two of which are of superior quality and are just one step away from third-tier.
Among the second-tier skills, there are also the less common Poison Path and Divination.
Especially divination; Zhou Qing now realizes the importance of divination skills.
Especially at critical moments, the divination results can often be of life-or-death value.
In addition, there are numerous Tier 1 skills.
"If one's divination skills can reach the third level..."
""
Zhou Qing shook his head slightly. Third-order divination is too difficult. It either requires a long time to comprehend, or it requires investing a large amount of lifespan to shorten one's lifespan and improve it.
"The more cultivation techniques one masters, the more well-rounded one becomes, making one less vulnerable to being targeted, and even allowing one to target others?"
Zhou Qing thought to himself.
In this respect, an individual cultivator might not be able to detect it.
However, if we take a single force as an example, then it becomes quite obvious.
A powerful force cannot consist of only cultivators skilled in combat.
There must also be alchemists, weapon makers, talisman makers, and so on.
A Nascent Soul level power like Taiyuan Palace probably also has rare diviners.
"Next, we should find a spiritual vein training ground to shorten the cooldown time for simulation attempts."
""
Zhou Qing looked at the "Number of Simulations" column.
A two-year and five-month cooling-off period has begun.
Originally, it was supposed to be a two-year, six-month cooldown countdown.
However, it took a month to travel from Biyue Immortal City to this place.
"The selection of the spiritual vein training ground this time..."
""
Zhou Qing fell into a brief moment of thought.
In the third simulation, Zhou Qing specifically collected relevant information.
It's about preparing for reality.
The nearby Falling Maple Mountain is a mid-grade second-tier spiritual vein. With the help of the Spirit Gathering Array, it is possible to create a cave dwelling with the concentration of a high-grade second-tier spiritual vein.
It's a second-tier superior grade, barely meeting Zhou Qing's requirements.
However, the current Luofeng Mountain spiritual vein dojo belongs to a Foundation Establishment family and is not available for rent.
As for buying it? Firstly, Zhou Qing doesn't have enough spirit stones at the moment, and secondly, buying such a spiritual vein dojo would cause too much of a stir, which doesn't align with Zhou Qing's philosophy of keeping a low profile as much as possible in reality.
"Purple Bamboo Grove..."
""
Zhou Qing made up her mind.
Purple Bamboo Forest, a first-grade superior spiritual vein training ground.
However, decades later, this spiritual vein dojo will be found to be connected to a third-order spiritual vein branch deep underground.
Then a real person stepped forward and bought the Purple Bamboo Forest for a large sum of money.
However, that was decades later.
As for now? The Purple Bamboo Forest is still just a first-tier spiritual vein dojo, and it is currently being leased out.
Furthermore, in the simulation, Zhou Qing conducted a detailed investigation of the Purple Bamboo Forest.
This is a spiritual vein training ground, and there are not many cultivators nearby, even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators passing by are extremely rare.
"That's it."
1
Zhou Qing nodded to himself.
There are few monks.
It also connects to the third-order spiritual vein underground.
With Zhou Qing's mastery of array formations, he could easily create a third-tier cave dwelling with a little effort, greatly reducing the cooldown time for simulation attempts.
