Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

”What?”

Upon hearing Elder Qiao’s words, Song Jun’s expression changed dramatically.

Although the Golden Bear hadn’t discovered him, the disciples certainly knew his prepared position. If they came and attracted the Golden Bear, they’d all be done for.

”Elder Qiao, what is the realm of the person who came this time?” Song Jun asked.

”Golden Core Perfection,” Elder Qiao replied, then added, ”Although this person can be dealt with, the Golden Bear hasn’t gone far. If you clash with this person, it will surely attract the Golden Bear. Even if its intelligence is bound by the Artifact Spirit of the Profound Spirit Mirror, it’s still a Divinity Transformation Realm Demon Beast. Once it’s on us, without a Shrinking Land Talisman, we’re in trouble.”

”So what does Elder Qiao suggest?”

”Leave first.”

”But leaving without the cover of a demon beast seems very unsafe.”

”Staying here is even less safe, leave quickly.”

”Yes, Elder Qiao.”

...

”Roar roar...”

As Chen Mo flew through the forest, he suddenly sensed something, his gaze turning towards the land ahead where there was a slight tremor.

Amidst that tremor, the distant roars of demon beasts seemed to resound.

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a golden thread shooting toward this direction.

Clearly, it was a Level Five disciple.

”Here comes some action.”

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, then leaped onto a tall tree, looking in that direction where the tremors were rapidly approaching. A moment later, he saw some flashes of green light.

It was a group of greenish apes, about half a zhang tall, with muscles on their arms like vine-wrapped branches, extremely fierce. They swung from one tree to another, and though their strength seemed only at the late Golden Core level, nearly ten of them together, combined with the demon beasts’ inherently stronger constitution than humans, would likely be formidable even to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

”Vine Arm Apes!”

Chen Mo instantly recognized this type of demon beast, having read about them, noting their strong territorial awareness, as they would do everything possible to expel intruders.

Chen Mo’s eyes shifted to the forefront of the Vine Arm Apes, following the golden thread to see a slender figure in a blue dress, somewhat flustered as she dodged the pursuit of the Vine Arm Apes.

”Ice Spirit?!”

Prior on the platform, Chen Mo had glimpsed her image while the disciples discussed her.

”Injured!”

Chen Mo squinted, activating the Ancient Heavy Pupils, seeing a wound on Ice Spirit’s fair knee, still bleeding. Not only that, her face was somewhat pale.

”No wonder she’s a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator being chased so embarrassingly by a group of Golden Core Realm demon beasts,” Chen Mo murmured to himself.

”This pesky junior brother, probably seeing Ice Spirit’s beauty, is going to act again.” Meanwhile, by the Celestial Pool, Zhao Fujin pouted, watching the scene on the Profound Spirit Mirror and speculating, knowing Chen Mo too well. After speaking, she glanced at Nangong Xue.

As the princesses said, wasn’t it because Nangong sisters were saved a few times by the junior brother that it developed to this point?

Zhao Qianyi, Jiang Ruoqing, and even Xiao Jiu didn’t refute, as they all thought the same.

”Ice Spirit, this girl, if I remember, seems to like Long Xiaoyao a lot, right?” Zuoqiu Yiren suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, the girls paused slightly.

Inside the Profound Spirit Mirror, Chen Mo stared ahead but showed no signs of taking action.

While he watched, Ice Spirit also noticed Chen Mo from the golden thread in the air, lifted her pretty face, and joy overflowed from her gem-like eyes.

She ran towards where Chen Mo was.

But just then, two of the closest Vine Arm Apes grabbed a vine and swung, flipping seven hundred and twenty degrees through the air, and landed right in front of Ice Spirit.

The other Vine Arm Apes quickly surrounded her.

Ice Spirit reflexively glanced towards Chen Mo again, but quickly frowned subtly, as she saw he seemed unwilling to assist.

”Junior brother over there, please help. I’m injured, and there will be deep gratitude once we’re safe.” Ice Spirit transmitted using divine sense.

But she received no response.

The Vine Arm Apes would certainly not give her time, suddenly surging forward, nearly ten of them lunging fiercely at Ice Spirit.

”Polar Ice Seal!”

With a flick, a piece of talisman paper appeared in Ice Spirit’s hand. Her hand formed a seal, turning the yellow talisman blue with an icy texture, exuding coldness. Then she abruptly slapped it on the ground.

An icy chill burst forth, freezing everything around instantly.

All Vine Arm Apes on the ground had their legs frozen.

Boom boom boom!!!

Ice spikes erupted from the ground, piercing at the frozen Vine Arm Apes.

”Bang...”

Just then, the frozen ground was suddenly broken open, and a vine as thick as a thigh emerged from the ground, sweeping all those ice spikes into shards, then swung at Ice Spirit.

Ice Spirit drew another talisman paper and with a flick of her fingers, four earth walls arose, fending off the sweeping vine. Simultaneously, her jade hand threw several yellow talismans, which adhered to the vine.

”Explode!”

Ice Spirit spat softly, and the yellow talismans on the vine exploded, scattering ice shards and wood splinters everywhere, a scene of chaos.

Taking the opportunity, Ice Spirit flew up, attempting to flee.

But just then, two vines flew up from below, snagging Ice Spirit’s legs, and two Vine Arm Apes yanked hard, pulling Ice Spirit from the air and slamming her onto the ground.

The rest of the Vine Arm Apes rushed at her.

”Damn it, if not wounded by that Golden Bear, a bunch of little monkeys like you dare to chase me...”

Ice Spirit yanked off the necklace around her neck, and with a swing, several talisman papers flew out, shining radiantly, enshrouding the charging Vine Arm Apes.

Among them, two talisman papers erected several ice and earth walls around Ice Spirit, a double-layer defense.

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

One explosion after another resounded.

After the explosions, a scene of devastation.

The nearly ten Vine Arm Apes were all blasted away, their massive bodies charred black, and the ground littered with pits.

The ensuing explosion storm shattered the ice and earth walls around Ice Spirit, the fierce wind lifting her and hurling her against a large tree.

”Pfft...” A mouthful of crimson blood spurted from her mouth.

The nine dead Vine Arm Apes transformed into nine streams of orange light, streaming into the mark on Ice Spirit’s chest.
