Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

As the first light of dawn illuminated Eight Trigrams City, the space of this world suddenly began to distort violently, and the True Qi in the world boiled.

Countless reverent gazes watched the twisted void, for everyone knew that such an anomaly was a sign of a Mahayana Realm or higher cultivator manifesting.

First, a massive black and white Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram appeared in the distorted void.

As the Tai Chi Diagram appeared, the True Qi of the world frantically converged above Eight Trigrams City, and in the next instant, everyone felt a terrifying pressure descend upon the world.

Under that pressure, the grand and majestic Eight Trigrams City seemed to tremble slightly.

In the void, the vast True Qi gathered, light and shadows condensed in the air, and beneath each of them was a Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram.

There were thirty-six such figures, each one a current sect leader, and also a guardian of the Daoist Alliance, exuding a terrifying pressure.

”Greetings to all the sect leaders.”

In Eight Trigrams City, countless people bowed in salute.

Even the newly arrived Zuoqiu Yiren, Chen Mo, and others were no exception.

”Sister Yiren, last night’s matter was just a joke, please don’t take it to heart.”

Seeing Zuoqiu Yiren with a stern face early in the morning, Chen Mo smiled wryly and transmitted the message.

”What, a joke?!”

Chen Mo’s mention of a joke only made Zuoqiu Yiren angrier, feeling that he had taken advantage and then called it a joke.

”Seems like last night I went too easy on you.” Zuoqiu Yiren glared at Chen Mo with a calm face.

In fact, Zuoqiu Yiren wasn’t truly upset about last night’s event.

But now, Chen Mo’s words truly angered him.

Zhao Qianyi, Jiang Ruoqing, Xiao Jiu, and the other women nearby looked at Zuoqiu Yiren with faces full of confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Nangong Xue, on the other hand, looked up at the thirty-six figures in the void, marveling: ”I never thought I would live to see so many powerful figures at once, even if I were to die now, I fear I would have no regrets.”

Then she muttered to herself: ”I wonder when I will grow to be such a strong figure.”

”The one in the center, wearing a Daoist robe and holding a whisk, is Shangqing Sect Leader Li Xianyuan, a direct disciple in the lineage of Daoism’s third generation. To the left of Li Xianyuan is Zhengyi Sect Leader Li Fengxian, also a direct disciple in the lineage of Daoism’s fourth generation. Precisely because of this, these two sects both claim to be the orthodox of Daoism.”

Although Zuoqiu Yiren maintained a stern face, he still introduced the various sect leaders to her.

In the end, all the ancestors of the various sects were either third or fourth generation disciples of Daoism. In terms of tradition, even if bones are broken, tendons are still connected, and they are all one family.

Chen Mo’s eyes moved, and he asked, ”Then the Celestial Lord of Universal Transformation, which generation of Daoist disciple does he belong to?”

After speaking, Chen Mo’s head was lightly knocked by Zuoqiu Yiren, who lightly scolded, ”What disciple? The Celestial Venerable is the incarnation of the South Pole Longevity Emperor, and the South Pole Longevity Emperor is one of the nine sons of the Primordial Sage. Even our ancestor must address the Celestial Venerable as uncle, no, let me think...”

Zuoqiu Yiren pondered, but the internal relations within Daoism were too convoluted, and she couldn’t quite figure it out, so she just said, ”In any case, when the fathers of each sect see the Celestial Venerable, they all have to bow and salute.”

”Then among the sect leaders, who is the strongest?” Xiao Jiu curiously asked.

Zuoqiu Yiren shook her head and said, ”These sect leaders haven’t fought for thousands of years, it’s simply impossible to guess. However, according to some vague assessments in books, it should be either Li Xianyuan or Li Fengxian.”

”Then what about the sect leader of our sect?” The curiosity of the group was piqued, and Nangong Yue also asked curiously.

Zuoqiu Yiren smiled and said, ”It is said that there is the name of Sect Leader Dao Feizi among the top ten.”

While the few of them were chatting.

After a brief exchange among the thirty-six sect leaders and a glance exchanged with the representatives from various Immortal Sects who had come to witness, Shangqing Sect Leader Li Xianyuan smilingly stepped forward. His gaze swept over the gathering, and then his gentle voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

”The Daoist Alliance test this time, as usual, is divided into three stages; however, these stages will be slightly different from the past.”

”The first stage remains unchanged; it is still the Path of Immortality, where walking 500 zhang is enough to pass. What has changed is the second stage, so please listen carefully.”

After Li Xianyuan finished speaking, Li Fengxian of the Zhengyi Sect stepped forward and said, ”The second stage is called Linyuan. In Linyuan, illusion realms and demon beasts coexist. Participants must not only pass the trials of the illusion realm without being confused but also withstand attacks from the demon beasts in Linyuan. Only those who can smoothly exit Linyuan can pass this stage.”

Although the second stage is more difficult than before, please pay attention. The second stage, Linyuan, is linked to the first stage, the Path of Immortality. First of all, Linyuan is beneath the Path of Immortality; the end of Linyuan is the end of the Path of Immortality. This means that if you can complete the entire Path of Immortality, it can be considered that you have passed the first and second stages directly. Of course, even if you don’t complete the entire Path of Immortality, the farther you walk on the Path of Immortality, the shorter your path through Linyuan will be.

In other words, if you walk 800 zhang on the Path of Immortality, you will have 300 zhang less to walk in Linyuan. If you walk 1,000 zhang on the Path of Immortality, you will have 500 zhang less in Linyuan, and so on...”

With these words, the entire venue erupted.

Completing the entire Path of Immortality could be considered as passing both the first and second stages.

Even without completing the full path, as long as you walk 500 zhang on the Path of Immortality, every additional zhang covered shortens Linyuan by the same amount.

This means that in this first stage, they must give it their all.

”Interesting.” Understanding the competition rules, Zuoqiu Yiren became very interested in this test.

The representatives from the eight immortal Dao sects who came to witness also felt that the rules this time were cleverly designed, enhancing the competitiveness among disciples.

It’s worth learning from.

In the future, when admitting students to their own sects, they could just copy this.

After waiting for a while, Li Xianyuan stepped forward and said, ”Alright, now that you understand the rules, let’s begin. As for the rules of the third stage, they will be explained after the completion of the first and second stages.

Next, I ask all participants to step onto the Path of Immortality!”

With these words, the thirty-six sect leaders simultaneously formed seals, and moments later, a massive Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram appeared in the void.

Within this Tai Chi Diagram was an unimaginably vast world, vaguely revealing a radiant golden path crossing the void.

A beam of light shot out from the Tai Chi Diagram, descending directly to the ground.
