Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

”Here they come.”

In the main hall of Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion, Chen Mo sensed something and looked up.

At the same time, Jiang Ruoqing and Zhao Qianyi also sensed something.

A group of people walked out of the hall and looked up at the sky.

Chen Mo saw an immense flying boat, and his heart was deeply shocked as if he was seeing something from the Immortal Realm for the first time.

”This ship can actually fly in the sky,” Zhao Qianyi murmured.

”There are records in ancient texts, this ship is called a Spiritual Boat, capable of traveling ten thousand miles a day, driven by True Qi and spirit stones. However, this Spiritual Boat seems slightly different from those in the texts,” Jiang Ruoqing recalled the records about such flying boats and said earnestly.

”What ship? Ruoqing, Grand Princess, what are you looking at?” Wu Xin’Er looked at the azure sky, seeing nothing but white clouds.

”Xin’Er, you can’t see it? Such a large ship...” Such a large ship, as tall as a small mountain—it’s impossible not to see it unless you’re blind.

Wu Xin’Er shook her head, puzzled.

”Husband, I can’t see either,” Ye Wanqiu stroked her stomach, showing a slight bump now, and shook her head.

”Master, Teacher, I can’t see it either,” Yi Yao also shook her head.

Then, apart from Chen Mo, Jiang Ruoqing, Zhao Qianyi, and Xiao Jiu, everyone else couldn’t see this Spiritual Boat.

At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly realized there was no shadow of this massive ship below his feet, and he was utterly astonished.

Jiang Ruoqing thought of something and said, ”Could it be an upper-grade Spiritual Boat? Ancient texts mention that upper-grade Spiritual Boats can conceal themselves, appearing invisible to cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

This explanation seemed to be the only one.

...

After what seemed like a long wait, a sudden elderly voice came from the Spiritual Boat:

”Realm Breaker, why have you not boarded quickly?”

This voice echoed like thunder.

”Did you... hear the voice?” Zhao Qianyi asked, looking at Chen Mo.

”I heard it,” Chen Mo nodded.

”I heard it too,” Jiang Ruoqing also nodded.

Xiao Jiu, having taken human form, nodded in agreement as well.

But Wu Xin’Er and the others didn’t hear it.

Chen Mo suddenly had a revelation; no wonder there were so few records about the Immortal Cultivation Realm on the Canglan Continent—the guides came so secretly that those below the Foundation Establishment Realm wouldn’t even know.

”It’s time to go,” Chen Mo hugged each of the women and bid farewell.

Wu Xin’Er handed him two bundles, containing things from all the women and what Chen Mo needed to bring to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Chen Mo came to Zhao Jiangning and whispered in her ear: ”Say goodbye to the Empress Dowager for me.”

Zhao Jiangning was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Chen Mo looked at Xiao Jiu: ”How long can you maintain your human form now?”

”Without using True Qi, I can maintain it as long as I wish,” Xiao Jiu looked at Chen Mo with affection.

Chen Mo slightly avoided Xiao Jiu’s gaze and then asked, ”And if you use True Qi?”

”At most, an hour before reverting to my true form,” Xiao Jiu smiled slightly and then said, ”Master, rest assured. This secret technique is unique to our Qingqiu clan, unless someone is three realms higher than me, they cannot see through it.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was taken aback, but seeing that Xiao Jiu had awakened quite a lot of memories during this time, he smiled, ”That’s good.”

”Well... I’m leaving then.” Chen Mo looked at the women, tears welled up in his eyes but did not fall, even though a man shouldn’t cry lightly, at the moment of parting, Chen Mo couldn’t hold it back.

But the women’s eyes were already filled with tears, looking at Chen Mo with reluctance.

”I’ll bring you over as soon as I settle down over there,” Chen Mo promised, then turned to Jiang Ruoqing, Zhao Qianyi, and Xiao Jiu, ”Let’s... go.”

Just as Chen Mo was about to fly towards the Spiritual Boat, a voice came from the distant corridor: ”Wait.”

Chen Mo turned around and was slightly stunned to see Yue Yuxi.

Yue Yuxi walked over quickly, grabbed Chen Mo’s hand in front of everyone, put a red string bracelet in his palm, and after saying, ”Alright, you can go now,” she turned and left without any hesitation.

Chen Mo activated the Ancient Heavy Pupils and discovered a strand of golden hair inside the red string, immediately understanding something, and said to Yue Yuxi, ”Yes, I like it very much, and will treasure it.”

Having said this, he put it on his wrist.

For some reason, hearing this, Yue Yuxi was very pleased, but she didn’t turn back nor say anything.

As Chen Mo and his group ascended into the sky,

Wu Xin’Er and the women called out ”Prince,” ”Husband,” while Yue Yuxi turned quietly and whispered, ”Take care, you fool.”

In the next moment, she found the seal within her body loosening...

Watching Chen Mo disappear from sight, she smiled for the first time.

Not far away, behind a pillar, a charming face watched the sky with a complex expression.

...

”It’s so big!”

Chen Mo was amazed, observing up close—it was far more magnificent than from below; this was not just a ship, it was like a giant flying vessel. Although it looked like wood, it was inscribed with runes Chen Mo couldn’t understand, and the bottom shimmered without a mast.

”Young friend, why are you not coming aboard?” While Chen Mo was staring intently at the Spiritual Boat, an elderly man with a benevolent face and white hair looked at him from above with a smile.

Chen Mo was surprised, respectfully greeted the elder, and boarded the Spiritual Boat with Jiang Ruoqing and the others.

”I didn’t expect you to be a romantic,” the elder handed Chen Mo a booklet and teased,

”But to cultivate immortality, you need a focused heart, free from distractions, and cannot linger in mortal affairs; otherwise, your achievements will be limited.”

Chen Mo, uncertain of the elder’s identity, did not argue and listened humbly, then asked, ”How should I address you, elder? And what is this booklet?”

”Daoist Alliance, Chi Xuzi,” the elder said, releasing an invisible aura that made him seem extraordinarily imposing.

”Greetings, elder,” Chen Mo greeted respectfully and introduced himself, ”I am Chen Mo, these three next to me are... my wives.”

”Greetings, elder,” Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing also greeted.

Only Xiao Jiu didn’t speak, as she was immersed in the joy of being called Chen Mo’s wife, until Jiang Ruoqing nudged her, prompting her to greet Chi Xuzi like the others.

Chi Xuzi seemed amiable, waving his hand, ”In this Land of Punishment, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm shows some aptitude. I hope we can meet in the Daoist Alliance after reaching Primordial Heaven.”

”Primordial Heaven?” Chen Mo exclaimed.

”That’s the name for the region near the Sea of Nothingness,” Chi Xuzi explained.

Chen Mo understood that the Immortal Cultivation Realm was referred to as Primordial Heaven by Chi Xuzi.
