Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

”The essence of the Merak Flying Sword lies in Divine Sense; the stronger the Divine Sense, the farther the sword can travel from the body, and the more powerful it becomes...”

On a clearing at the top of Merak Peak, Zuoqiu Yiren floated an inch off the ground, slowly explaining the Merak Flying Sword to Chen Mo, and then continued, ”You have yet to form your Golden Core and haven’t developed Divine Sense, so I will first teach you to master the fundamentals of the Merak Flying Sword...”

As she spoke, Zuoqiu Yiren’s expression suddenly became serious, even her eyes showed a sharp glint. She joined her two fingers like a sword and made a slight movement.

Suddenly, a lightning-like brilliance flashed from nearby, accompanied by a long whistle, a purple light flickered before Chen Mo’s eyes, and an ancient, powerful aura emanated from a Purple Sword, hovering before Zuoqiu Yiren.

The Purple Sword emitted a faint purple glow, with an uncertain yet urgent energy around it.

It was indeed the Merak Sword that was previously embedded within the Golden Sound Stone.

”Can you see that huge stone on the distant peak?” Zuoqiu Yiren gazed afar and asked.

Following her gaze, Chen Mo looked over, only to see a black stone standing on the peak several miles away, appearing the size of an egg to Chen Mo due to the distance. Only after activating the Ancient Heavy Pupils did he realize that the black stone was nearly ten zhang tall, truly a small stone mountain.

”Watch closely, don’t blink. I won’t activate the Merak Sword’s inherent power, just relying on the Merak Flying Sword.”

As soon as the words fell, with a light touch of her fingers, the Merak Sword hovering in front of Zuoqiu Yiren shot out with a ’whoosh’. In the blink of an eye, the huge stone miles away exploded with a ’bang’, shattering into flying stone debris, and within less than a second, the Merak Sword flew back to hover before Zuoqiu Yiren.

Chen Mo: ”...”

Remarkable.

From the Merak Sword’s departure, the explosion of the black stone, to the return of the Merak Sword, the entire process was completed in a single breath. Even with the Ancient Heavy Pupils activated, with his current ability, Chen Mo could only see the Merak Sword piercing through the black stone but couldn’t track its returning path.

If that black stone were himself, Chen Mo felt he wouldn’t even know how he died.

Because he couldn’t react in time.

This flying sword’s speed was just too fast.

”How is it?” Seeing Chen Mo’s astonished expression, Zuoqiu Yiren felt she had regained some of her dignity as a teacher.

”Is this the fundamental part of the Merak Flying Sword?” Chen Mo asked in astonishment.

Zuoqiu Yiren: ”...”

Of course, this isn’t something the fundamental part can achieve.

The only reason she displayed such a feat was to impress Chen Mo with the power of the Merak Flying Sword, fostering a sense of admiration, and reestablishing her standing as a teacher.

”That’s not important. The main thing your sister wants to tell you is that as long as you study diligently, one day you can reach this level.” To ensure Chen Mo understood the power of the Merak Flying Sword, Zuoqiu Yiren added:

”Once your strength reaches the Divinity Transformation Realm and you’ve mastered the Power of Space, you can lock onto your opponent’s aura, use the Merak Flying Sword, have your flying sword enter the space, and perform space transmission. Within a few breaths, you can kill a target a thousand miles away. If you add Sword Technique Divine Techniques, unless the opponent’s strength far exceeds yours, none can escape.”

Chen Mo cupped his hands in salute: ”Sister Yiren, please teach me.”

Seeing this, Zuoqiu Yiren nodded with satisfaction and then said, ”I’ll first teach you how to understand the Merak Flying Sword more quickly.”

”Sister Yiren, no need, I’ve already grasped it. Just move on to the next step.” Chen Mo said.

Zuoqiu Yiren was taken aback, but thinking she had given him the technique days ago, it wasn’t surprising he had understood it.

”Alright, then I’ll teach you the fundamentals. The so-called fundamentals involve using True Qi to control the sword, teaching you how to manage the flying sword, and grasp the essentials of flying sword mastery...”

Zuoqiu Yiren held the flying sword in her hand and, while explaining the theory, began to demonstrate and maneuver it.

”True Qi Sword Control consumes a lot of True Qi, and the range is limited, but the lethality is still fair.”

Zuoqiu Yiren controlled the sword to weave a blossom in the air, and then the Purple Sword lightly trembled, splitting into three and shooting out, yet only one caused any real damage.

”In the fundamentals, of the three flying swords, two are illusions used to mask the real one, unable to inflict harm but aiding the real one to achieve fatal effects. Once you master the fundamentals and develop Divine Sense, the two phantom shadows will no longer be illusions and will inflict real damage.”

After speaking, Zuoqiu Yiren caused the Purple Sword to split into three again, and then the three flying swords merged into one, with an immediate surge of momentum.

This is Unity.

The fundamental training lays the groundwork for future flying sword mastery.

Currently, Unity only appears as a surge in momentum, but once Divine Sense is developed, its power will greatly increase.

After all, the transformed two flying swords will also be True Swords.

”Alright, that’s all for these two moves today. Try practicing them.” Zuoqiu Yiren took out a gourd, took a sip of the Immortal Drunk she hadn’t finished last night, and intended to rest.

But Chen Mo said, ”Sister Yiren, I learn quite quickly, can you teach me more...”

”You practice first,” Zuoqiu Yiren glanced at Chen Mo. The Merak Flying Sword was her own creation, and she knew its difficulty well, even a genius with an Immortal Body would take at least two days to learn what she just taught.

Seeing Chen Mo bragging before even starting made her somewhat annoyed:

”It was rated as an Earth Tier Mid-Level Divine Technique because my strength was weaker, so the elders rated it as such. Its potential can actually be compared to Celestial Tier Divine Techniques, so even the fundamentals aren’t so easy to master...”

Chen Mo nodded.

Recalling in his mind the scenes Zuoqiu Yiren taught.

He had watched using the Ancient Heavy Pupils, so he saw all the details clearly.

He also possessed the Fighting Saint Body, with a superior comprehension of Martial Arts and Divine Techniques.

Coupled with the Innate Purity Immortal Body, a perfect physique for Immortal Cultivation.

Chen Mo quickly grasped the essence.

Zuoqiu Yiren had planned to rest then, but after hearing Chen Mo’s words, she sat under a tree, leaning against it, though her body remained off the ground as she lay back floating.

Did he say he learns fast?

Then I shall see how fast...

The first time.

Zuoqiu Yiren commented: ”Not bad, but it’s just appearances, only enough to scare people, useless in real combat.”

The second time, the third time, all the way to the tenth time, Chen Mo remained the same.

Half an hour later.

”Being able to mimic after watching once and grasp the details, not bad, but the Divine Technique could...”

Before Zuoqiu Yiren finished speaking, she saw the Tianwen in Chen Mo’s hand split into three. After being fired, the True Sword cut the tree in half, then the three flying swords merged into one.
