Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

This time, Chen Mo did not think about dividing True Qi with Wang Chen like he did with points.

After ensuring his protection under the Profound Spirit Waterfall, Chen Mo began his own Spiritual Power Infusion.

Because he wanted to take advantage of this Spiritual Power Infusion to elevate his realm to the Nascent Soul Realm.

He was even worried that he might not have enough True Qi, so how could he spare any?

Wang Chen wasn’t foolish enough to ask for it either.

Being in the top twenty was already satisfying enough for him.

When both Chen Mo and Wang Chen arrived.

The Ice Spirit had already begun the Spiritual Power Infusion.

At a position about a thousand feet under the Profound Spirit Waterfall, a beam of light shot out, enveloping the Ice Spirit, drawing her into the Profound Spirit Waterfall.

”One thousand one hundred and twenty feet.”

Wang Chen was a bit speechless and said, ”Junior Brother Chen, didn’t you take some from her once? How does she still have so much True Qi?”

”What taking? That was her compensation.”

Chen Mo corrected Wang Chen’s words and then said, ”That was at the beginning when the Spirit River was still full of True Qi, and after all, she is a strong figure in the Nascent Soul Realm. How many among these disciples can match her?”

”True enough.” Wang Chen nodded.

”Will you go first, or shall I?” Chen Mo asked.

”You go first, I want to see if you can surpass Senior Brother Xuan Cheng.” Wang Chen replied.

Chen Mo nodded.

First, he threw all of the more than twenty jade jars around him into the Spiritual Power Waterfall, then he also extracted the previously rewarded True Qi from the system and threw it into the Profound Spirit Waterfall.

Boom!

Instantly, the entire Spirit River began to tremble, and the peak behind the Profound Spirit Waterfall vibrated slightly, causing many rocks to roll down into the Spirit River, splashing water everywhere.

Chen Mo and Wang Chen flew away to avoid being splashed by the water.

This commotion made the disciples who were still competing pause and turn their heads towards the Spiritual Power Waterfall, then look up.

A few moments later, they all gaped, their eyes blank, faces full of shock.

At the position of about three feet within the Profound Spirit Waterfall, a beam of light shot out.

At six feet, another beam of light shot out.

Then nine feet, twelve feet...

Every three feet, a beam of light would shoot out, all the way to the top of the Profound Spirit Waterfall.

Then these lights connected with each other, condensing into a ladder leading to the endpoint.

At the same time, the Spirit River began to operate frantically, forming a vortex about a thousand feet wide, then a water column rose from the vortex, rushing towards the ladder, merging with it.

Turning the ladder into a tangible form.

Boom!

A huge beam of light once again shot up from the thousand-foot vortex, eventually connecting with the sky, where spirit light began to gather in the heavens; in a few short moments, the day turned to night, and the once-clear sky became a starry one.

From the starry sky, a beam of light shot out, connecting with the Profound Spirit Waterfall, finally turning into a crystal-clear river.

”It’s the Star Ladder!”

”It’s actually the Star Ladder; Chen Mo has actually triggered the Star Ladder. How much True Qi did he acquire?”

”Wasn’t the last person to trigger the Star Ladder Elder Zuoqiu?”

The disciples were utterly astonished, their jaws practically dropping.

According to legend, the Star Ladder can activate the array set by the Ancestral Master in the Spirit River and communicate with the starry sky, allowing the Power of the Stars to infuse with the Spiritual Power Infusion.

In other words, Chen Mo not only received the highest level of Spiritual Power Infusion but also the cleansing by the Power of the Stars.

With such an addition, it might directly elevate Chen Mo from the late Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul Realm.

On the Spirit River, disciples looked on with envy. If they could obtain such treatment to any degree, it would surely be transformative.

”Junior Brother Chen, climb the Star Ladder quickly.”

Wang Chen was also stunned.

He finally understood why his aunt had such high praise for Chen Mo the first time they met.

Turned out Chen Mo was similar to his aunt.

They’re both extraordinary.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Soul-Stabilizing Bead.

Qiao Yushi was also amazed as she looked at the Star Ladder.

She had heard of the Shenxiao Sect’s Star Ladder a millennium ago.

But triggering the Star Ladder requires more than just abundant True Qi; it also depends on oneself.

And those who could trigger the Star Ladder were all prodigies, the strongest of their generation...

Yet she observed Chen Mo’s physique.

Plain and unremarkable.

How had he triggered the Star Ladder?

Outside.

In a small island within the barrier above the firmament.

Five white-haired elders opened their eyes simultaneously.

Their gaze seemed to pierce directly into the Profound Spirit Mirror.

”The Star Ladder, since the Grandmaster, he’s the ninth, right?”

”The extreme of nine, the Star Ladder will appear no more.”

”Is this destiny?”

...

Chen Mo ascended the Star Ladder.

With each step, he felt a vast and pure energy surge into his body from the soles of his feet.

Chen Mo quickly activated the Thunder Jade Scripture to absorb and refine it.

He looked back, and the steps he had walked dissolved as the energy flowed into his body.

When he reached the thousand-foot height of the Profound Spirit Waterfall.

The influx of energy was not something that could be refined and absorbed in a short time.

Chen Mo could only sit down on the spot to refine it.

After two hours, Chen Mo finally succeeded in refining, then moved on to the next section of the Star Ladder.

Boom!

As soon as he stepped on it, a torrent of True Qi, Power of the Stars, rushed from the soles up through him, causing a fierce feeling of expansion where the energy passed, as if his meridians were about to be burst.

Chen Mo could feel that within his meridians, flesh, and even bones, tiny, crystal-clear threads quickly appeared.

These threads penetrated the meridians, flesh, and even bones; they seemed insignificant, but Chen Mo could sense the terrifying strength they held.

These changes made his flesh, meridians, and bones indirectly more resilient and powerful.

Sensing the changes within his body, Chen Mo couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. After cultivating the Small Profound Technique’s True Explanation, his physical body had become considerably strong for his current realm, making further enhancement increasingly difficult, and even using some heavenly materials and earthly treasures had very limited effects.

But now, the Spiritual Power Infusion and the Power of the Stars’ cleansing were significantly enhancing his body.

Looking at the Star Ladder that stretched a long way above, Chen Mo felt quite excited.

Once he traversed the entire Star Ladder, how strong would he become?

What if he added the simulated rewards...

Chen Mo already looked expectant.

He relaxed his mind and fully activated the Thunder Jade Scripture, speeding up the refining.

Thankfully, Ice Spirit did not witness this; otherwise, she’d probably be so angry it might make her vomit blood.

This was the Star Ladder, after all!
