Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Fei Ran, a Jianghu expert from Chu Land.

Ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List created by Zhao Jiang, known as the Spear Master. Once on the Qinghua River, he defeated the long-renowned Li Taixi with a single spear strike.

Zhao Jiang gave him extremely high treatment, never expecting him to defect to the enemy.

However, it already happened; the left wing of Zhang Shicheng and Xue Gui’s army suffered a severe sneak attack by Fei Ran’s fifty thousand troops.

In a fit of rage, Zhao Jiang picked up a long-handled broadsword and charged towards Fei Ran.

”Fei Ran, I have not treated you poorly, why betray me?”

Fei Ran rode on a tall horse, skillfully wielding a long spear. Seeing Zhao Jiang charging at him, although not as strong as Zhao Jiang, with the backing of his personal soldiers, matching Zhao Jiang briefly was not beyond his capability.

He shouted loudly, ”Acting on a decree to eliminate traitors! The current emperor is the legitimate one, and you, the traitor, forged decrees and plotted against Prince Zhen Nan! You will not succeed.”

With a fierce cry, the long spear aimed at Zhao Jiang.

”Nonsense.” Zhao Jiang naturally did not believe Fei Ran’s words and roared, ”Those who betray me shall be killed without mercy.”

A vast surge of True Qi erupted from Zhao Jiang’s body, sending his surrounding personal soldiers flying away.

”Heh.” Fei Ran raised his spear to block.

The reason he betrayed Zhao Jiang was simply because he was bought by Chen Mo.

Back when Zhao Jiang was buying people around him, Chen Mo countered by allocating massive funds specifically to purchase those around Zhao Jiang.

The Mo Ice Platform also had a detailed investigation of Fei Ran.

Fei Ran managed to defeat the Spear Immortal Li Taixi by challenging him at his weakest moment, just before his death.

Moreover, he pursued power by any means, harbored a grudge against his master for not teaching him true skills, and murdered his master’s family, seizing his spear manual, changing his identity, and was a vile person who stopped at nothing.

And precisely because he was vile, he became an object of Chen Mo and his people’s bribery.

Offering tremendous wealth and promising further incentives, as long as Fei Ran defected at the crucial moment, Chen Mo would allow him to enter the Royal Inner Treasury to select a Celestial Tier spear martial art to cultivate.

At the time of his purchase, Chen Mo’s authority was at its peak, and Fei Ran agreed.

”Brother Fei, I come to aid you.” Just as Fei Ran was slashed off his horse by Zhao Jiang, a Black Shadow flitted over, blocking Zhao Jiang’s killing strike for Fei Ran.

”Liu Ying.” Zhao Jiang recognized the newcomer, his eyes slightly red, and shouted in anger, ”You too betray me?!”

Liu Ying, ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon List.

”Prince Zhen Nan is who the people support. How can you be a match for the Prince? Get off your horse and surrender,” Liu Ying shouted, joining Fei Ran to face Zhao Jiang.

He was also someone purchased by Chen Mo.

”Good, good, good.” Zhao Jiang was so furious he said ’good’ three times consecutively, then coldly remarked, ”Next year today will be both of your death anniversaries.”

Zhao Jiang rubbed his legs, leapt off his horse, and wielded his sword with both hands, slashing at the two, exuding immense killing intent.

...

Speaking of Chen Mo’s side.

Due to Fei Ran leading the army to attack from the left wing, Chen Mo’s Fire Qilin Army was not blocked by Zhang Shicheng and Xue Tao’s personal guards and ended up in a melee with Song Qing and Xiao Gui’s forces.

Three thousand against twenty thousand.

A ninefold difference.

Yet with just Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu alone, they bridged this gap.

It was quite miraculous; the blood splattering in the sky did not stain Xiao Jiu at all, leaving its entire body snow-white.

”Xiao Jiu, help them, I will kill these two.”

Using his thoughts to communicate with Xiao Jiu, Chen Mo grabbed hold of it and in an instant was in front of Song Qing, twisting his body into a fierce spear strike.

With a terrifying force, he struck Song Qing down from his horse on the first blow, sending his battle horse tumbling.

Song Qing stumbled back after getting up, never having a chance to fight back before Chen Mo’s second spear arrived.

Accompanied by a dragon’s roar and scattering thunder.

In less than two rounds, Song Qing was impaled by Chen Mo’s spear from afar.

Yes, Chen Mo’s spear didn’t even touch Song Qing.

Just a simple thrust, spear emerges like a dragon, and with Song Qing still a yard away from the spear tip, his chest exploded.

”Is this the power of a Top Grade Magical Artifact?”

Chen Mo felt he hadn’t even used ten percent of his strength.

If he were to unleash his full power...

He wanted to try...

He suddenly leaped up, holding the spear with both hands, and the terrifying True Qi continuously poured into the spear.

The next moment, dazzling thunder erupted from the Nine Thunder Profound Celestial Spear, blowing Chen Mo’s helmet off, his long hair flying.

Just like Zhao Yun in the video game, activating Sikong Zhen’s ultimate move, his entire body was bathed in thunder.

”What’s that?”

”Is that still human? Thunder... Duke of Thunder?!”

”A god descended...”

The crowd looked up; everyone was filled with shock. Before they could even think, they saw Chen Mo diving down from above, crashing into the rear army of the Yan faction, spear tip aimed down, piercing fiercely.

Boom...

The brilliant and terrifying thunder spread out in all directions centered around the spear, covering half a mile. This area was like daylight, the blinding brightness preventing anyone from opening their eyes.

When the brightness faded.

Besides Chen Mo, everyone in this area was dead, leaving it a scorched land.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

But it deeply shocked the crowd, and upon witnessing this, everyone couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Zhao Jiang’s eyes were full of horror, clearly showing that Chen Mo’s power far exceeded his expectations.

Is this still a First Grade?

Perhaps he has already broken through to Foundation Establishment?

But if it is Foundation Establishment, why is he still in Canglan Continent and not guided to the other side?

”Prince, be careful...”

Seizing Zhao Jiang’s momentary daze, Fei Ran and Liu Ying took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

However, as a First Grade Martial Artist, Zhao Jiang’s reaction speed far surpassed the two Second-Grade Martial Artists. He raised his sword to block their full-power strike and knocked them away.

Just as he was about to attack again, sensing coldness from behind, Chen Mo lunged with his spear, aiming at Zhao Jiang’s head.

Seeing the danger, Zhao Jiang’s eyes turned cold, and he quickly threw his head back, drawing someone swiftly in to shield himself from the strike.

With a head flying high, the soldier used as a human shield fell to the ground dead.

”Not bad, you’ve improved.”

Seeing Zhao Jiang respond so quickly, Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and was about to strike a second time when Zhao Jiang’s personal soldiers surrounded him from all sides, launching attacks at Chen Mo.

”Courting death!”

On this continent, Chen Mo was already unmatched in martial arts prowess. A single spear strike dispatched the small fry surrounding him, and with a pointed toe, he charged towards Zhao Jiang, who was protected by the army.

Chen Mo’s earlier move had already scared the Yan army stiff, and the ten-odd who surrounded him were easily swept away by a single spear strike.

The crowd, protecting Zhao Jiang and retreating step by step, dared not launch another attack on Chen Mo.
