Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Although the True Qi of Merak Peak was abundant, Zuoqiu Yiren only taught Chen Mo and did not teach others living on the peak.

Therefore, Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue would go to the Outer Sect daily to be taught by the Outer Elder, thus they were more informed about the happenings in the Outer Sect.

After returning to Merak Peak from cultivation, they informed Chen Mo and the others about the sect trial.

”As newly inducted outer disciples, we must complete a sect mission within three months. Today, I got word from the elder and need to discuss it with you,” Nangong Yue said.

Gathered in the first-floor hall, Nangong Yue glanced at Chen Mo and said, ”Recently, the East Night Kingdom in the Central Province’s Mutel Desert has been assaulted by the demonic path, resulting in heavy casualties. The king of East Night Kingdom has already sent a plea for help to the sect, and they may send us to eliminate the demonic path.”

The Beiming Domain is divided into five provinces: east, west, south, north, and central. Each province is vast, and the Shenxiao Sect, as the absolute ruler of the Central Province, protects it along with some smaller forces, and these forces offer cultivation resources to the Shenxiao Sect annually, akin to protection fees.

The East Night Kingdom is one such force under the protection of the Shenxiao Sect.

”The demonic path,” Chen Mo frowned slightly. In Primordial Heaven, there is a distinction between the righteous and the demonic.

Those who slaughter innocent beings wantonly and use human blood, souls, and even infants for cultivation are termed as the demonic path.

The opposite is the righteous path.

The Demon Sect (internally called the Sacred Sect) is the largest demonic path sect among the top ten cultivation sects.

The purpose of the Demon Sect is to achieve its objectives by any means necessary.

For this reason, over tens of thousands of years, it faced multiple sieges from righteous sects, resulting in heavy casualties; sect disciples went into hiding.

Later, the disbandment of Daoism gave the Demon Sect breathing time.

To rapidly develop the sect, the Demon Sect preached inclusivity, accepting anyone with a heart for immortal cultivation.

The righteous path requires passing various assessments to join, but the Demon Sect does not; if you come, you are a disciple of the Demon Sect.

Moreover, the Demon Sect colluded with the Demon Race, hastening its growth into a powerful cultivation sect.

During that time, countless righteous cultivators were harmed by the demonic path. Some righteous experts not only had their blood drained and souls consumed by the demonic path but their bodies were also made into puppets to attack righteous cultivators.

The righteous path weakened.

Later, the establishment of the Daoist Alliance again led the righteous sects to besiege the Demon Sect, driving it to the far north of Primordial Heaven—the Northern Abyss.

At its peak, the Demon Sect infiltrated all eleven domains of Primordial Heaven, so even after being driven to the Northern Domain, remnants of the Demon Sect still existed in each of the eleven domains.

Over tens of thousands of years, these remnants misled others, resulting in an increase in demonic path sects within Primordial Heaven.

”From what I know, the strength of East Night Kingdom isn’t weak, and there are Divinity Transformation experts in the country. With a spirit stone mine, the cultivators of the country are generally strong, with experts emerging one after another. Ordinary demonic paths are no match for East Night Kingdom, but if it’s powerful demonic paths or members of the Demon Sect, sending us outer disciples would be useless and unnecessarily courting death.”

During this period, Zhao Qianyi had thoroughly understood the Beiming Domain, especially some of the subordinate forces under the Shenxiao Sect.

”This matter is true. I inquired several Outer Sect elders, and Elder Su Huang also mentioned it. This sect mission is jointly handled by the Inner and Outer Sects, meaning Inner Sect disciples will also participate. There are even rumors that some Direct Disciples will be dispatched to slay those Divinity Transformation demonic paths. For us outer disciples, as long as we kill a Foundation Establishment demonic path and bring back the head, it will be considered mission accomplished, worthy of thirty points,” Nangong Yue said.

Thirty points, enough to exchange for an advanced Profound Tier divine technique and still have leftovers.

But to Nangong Yue, it means she can repay Chen Mo for the points she borrowed.

It’s good to resolve some favor.

Chen Mo slightly frowned. Why did this sect mission feel like rushing out?

”The sect will surely send people to handle this matter. A third of the annual mining quota from East Night Kingdom’s spirit stone mine is offered to the Shenxiao Sect. If this mine is occupied by demonic path people, it will also affect our sect,” Nangong Xue said.

”When exactly and who are the Direct Disciples the sect will send?” Chen Mo asked.

Nangong Yue and Nangong Xue both shook their heads, the former saying, ”Not clear yet, but three months will be soon over, so it shouldn’t be too long.”

Jiang Ruoqing looked worried and said, ”Since Direct and Inner Sect disciples will also participate, will Long Xiaoyao take this opportunity to target you?”

Jiang Ruoqing looked at Chen Mo.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue and Nangong Xue also thought of this, with the latter uncertainly saying, ”After all, you are now Elder Zuoqiu’s disciple. Given Elder Zuoqiu’s status in the sect, even outside the sect, wouldn’t Long Xiaoyao dare to act rashly?”

”Not necessarily. Long Xiaoyao has yet to exit seclusion, but there have been disciples who presume to act against me, even bribing elders. If the news is true, Long Xiaoyao would not miss such a golden opportunity,” Chen Mo said.

”What should we do then?” Nangong Yue became worried.

Nangong Xue glanced at her sister.

”Master, I will protect you.” Xiao Jiu patted her ample chest.

”It should be possible to have Elder Zuoqiu accompany for protection, right?” Zhao Qianyi said.

”Not sure, but worth a try.”

Chen Mo said.

Before going to see Zuoqiu Yiren, Chen Mo simulated once.

[Start Immortal Cultivation Simulator?]

”Yes.”

[Day 1: You learned of the possible mission to eradicate the demonic path in East Night Kingdom and worried about revenge from Long Xiaoyao, so you found Zuoqiu Yiren to ask for her help.

Zuoqiu Yiren agreed. She said she wouldn’t interfere with your task but would try her best to ensure your safety. That day, you requested leave from her, pausing cultivation and starting closed-door practice of the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique—Golden Core Chapter.]

[Day 2: In closed-door cultivation.]

[Day 3: In closed-door cultivation.]

...

[Day 7: You completed your secluded cultivation, achieved a small success in the Golden Core Chapter, and your strength skyrocketed as your grasp of the Blood Burning Skill became more profound.

That day, Divine Light Hall issued the task to eradicate the demonic path. The Outer Sect needed to send five hundred people to participate. New Outer Sect disciples who hadn’t completed sect missions needed to participate fully, two hundred Inner Sect disciples were required to participate, along with three Direct Disciples.

Long Xiaoyao took on the mission.]

[Day 8: You rode Immortal Cranes to East Night Kingdom.]

[Day 9: A Divinity Transformation demonic path cultivator lured Zuoqiu Yiren away, and after she left, Inner Sect disciples Suzhou Ze and Liu Jingchun suddenly attacked you.

You, with the help of the Merak Flying Sword and in conjunction with Xiao Jiu, slew them both.]
