Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chapter 41: 41 Seventh Grade Martial Artist

[Day Thirty-Five: The Empress was once again heartbroken by the Emperor, feeling utterly disappointed in him. A week ago, she learned that you are not an eunuch, and with your current comfort, she has completely devoted her heart and soul to you.

That night, you did not return to the maid’s room. With your dragon spirit and tiger fierce, the Empress said you made her feel like a real woman for the first time, and she fell wholeheartedly for you.]

[Day Thirty-Six: The Empress took you to the Inner Treasury, where you obtained a large amount of cultivation resources and another Bronze Small Bell. With the Empress’s help, you acquired another two styles of the Eight Desolates Prison.

You learned that this Bronze Small Bell is called the Red Sun Bell and is connected to the Nan Zhou Treasure.

Unfortunately, these are the latter two styles of the Eight Desolates Prison, which you cannot cultivate.

That night, with the help of a large amount of cultivation resources and the Phoenix Seal, you broke through to a Third Grade Martial Artist and directly informed the Empress of your true strength.]

[Day Forty-One: The Empress sought you for dual cultivation again, but knowing that you would be discovered by the Fujin Empress today, you refused her.]

...

[Day Forty-Five: You reached enlightenment and transcended the mundane, and that night, you kissed the Fujin Empress.

In her astonishment, you revealed that you are not an eunuch.

Finally, you both realized that through daily and nightly cultivation enlightenment, feelings had developed between the two of you. With this truth revealed, she completely let go of her inner barriers, and you two confirmed your relationship, although she was unaware of your relationship with the Empress.]

[Day Fifty: The Emperor broke through to a First Grade Martial Artist, and using the power of the Jade Seal, he led the Imperial Guard to suppress the seven great families. Xiao Yunqi was thrown into the Celestial Prison, Zhao Chong the Crown Prince was deposed, and Xiao Yunxi the Empress was deposed and sent to the Cold Palace.]

[Day Fifty-One: Wang Ying reported you and the Empress to the Emperor. The Emperor, in a fury, executed all the insiders of the matter, including you.

However, before dying, you finally understood that Wang Ying had expressed goodwill towards you previously, only to make you lower your guard while secretly planning to plunge you into an irreversible situation.

In fact, the night you slept on the Phoenix Bed, Wang Ying already knew about it.]

[This Immortal Cultivation Simulation has ended. You can permanently retain one immortal cultivation talent and apply it to the real world.]

[Immortal Cultivation Simulation has ended. This simulation lasted fifty-one days. Cooldown time: 510 minutes.]

Chen Mo was dumbfounded.

This simulation provided him with too many shocking revelations.

First, on the first day of the great upheaval, he had already reached the Sixth Grade.

Secondly, in that simulation, he had won over the Empress on the twenty-sixth day.

This time, it was on the thirty-fifth day.

And the matter of the Bronze Small Bell involved the Nan Zhou Treasure.

But those were not the most shocking revelations.

There were only two truly shocking ones.

He kissed Zhao Fujin.

And they developed mutual feelings for each other.

Considering her relationship with Xiao Yunxi,

Chen Mo felt a chill on his scalp.

And the fact that the Emperor would break through to a First Grade Martial Artist on the fiftieth day.

And with overwhelming force, suppress the seven great families.

Xiao Yunqi even being thrown into the Celestial Prison.

That was the Emperor’s father-in-law!

Not only that, but even Zhao Chong’s position as Crown Prince was abolished, and he was the Emperor’s own son!

Chen Mo couldn’t understand.

Why didn’t the Emperor suppress the rebellion,

and instead turned against his own people?

And upon breakthrough, acted immediately on the same day.

It seemed the animosity between both sides had been long-standing, and indeed the Emperor had been planning this for a while.

Otherwise, Xiao Yunqi, also a First Grade expert, couldn’t have been simply thrown into the Celestial Prison on that day.

And Wang Ying, that old eunuch.

Had he dug up Wang Ying’s ancestral grave or what?

Why so petty?

He didn’t seem to have wronged him, right...

Just because of jealousy, he kept creating trouble for him?

Chen Mo had already made up his mind. If he ever got the chance, he would first resolve the threat posed by Wang Ying.

”Junior Brother, what’s wrong with you?” Seeing Chen Mo’s continually changing expressions, Zhao Fujin raised an eyebrow above, inquiring.

”Senior Sister, I was thinking, in the Dao, what is transcendence?”

In the simulation, it was only on the forty-fifth day that he transcended.

For such rapid progress in the martial arts realm, Chen Mo wasn’t very satisfied with his speed in understanding the Dao.

”If you don’t cultivate your heart well, how can you think of transcendence...” Zhao Fujin gave Chen Mo a sidelong glance, speechless, then said, ”Master once said that transcendence is understanding the Dao beyond the ordinary person, or rather, what is Dao?”

Chen Mo twitched his mouth—indeed, it was as Zhao Su Ya said, rich... in philosophical meaning...

”Then what is your understanding of Dao, Senior Sister?”

”With a heart of chivalry, support the world!” Zhao Fujin’s voice was soft, but in Chen Mo’s ears, it was like a resounding clang, words powerful and impactful.

The perspective opened up all at once.

Seeing Chen Mo not speaking, Zhao Fujin sighed again, ”It’s a pity that I’m just a woman...”

From ancient times to now,

Whether in tribal times, slave times, or even the current feudal times,

There has never been a female leader.

Even in the Great Song Dynasty, where the status of women is high, compared to men, they fall far short.

For example, men can divorce their wives,

But women cannot leave their husbands.

Of course, separation doesn’t count.

Also, in the Imperial Court, all officials are men, hardly any women.

Even in the Jianghu, in folklore, the knights who uphold justice are all men.

Chen Mo still didn’t respond.

He didn’t believe his relationship with Zhao Fujin was strong enough to talk heart-to-heart.

Seeing Chen Mo not responding, Zhao Fujin showed a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, then pouted, ”Continue understanding, don’t slack off.”

”Understood.”

But before that,

Chen Mo extracted Heaven and Earth Lose Color.

This was his sixth Golden Talent.

...

Night slowly faded away during the cultivation.

The sky began to lighten.

Zhao Fujin had already left.

As an Empress, she had many things to attend to.

Shortly after she left, within the bamboo forest, Chen Mo’s body suddenly tremored, and from within, there seemed to emanate a faint sound of breaking.

That sound was so melodious, as it echoed within him, even the flow of his entire blood seemed smoother, like a celestial melody.

Because it was the sound of breaking through the wall.

Seventh Grade, accomplished!

At this moment, Chen Mo’s long-closed eyes suddenly opened, with golden light surging in his eyes, radiating as if tangible.

Celestial Eye Opening!

The so-called Celestial Eye Opening is not about having an extra eye, but after reaching the Seventh Grade realm, opening the Celestial Eye gives the ability to see things beyond the ordinary sight.

For instance, observing executions at midday, when a decapitated convict’s ghost appears.

However, such ghosts are weak and will dissipate under the sunlight.

A Seventh Grade Martial Artist, aside from opening the Celestial Eye, also refines their True Qi even further, allowing it to extend outside their body and remain intact.

Which means externalization of True Qi.
