Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

”Yiren, it seems that Luo Yuan has an interest in you.” Back in the cave dwelling, Chen Mo recalled the look Luo Yuan gave Zuoqiu Yiren in the hall, which was clearly unusual, and as a man, he knew very well what that look meant.

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Zuoqiu Yiren just nodded faintly, not taking it to heart, yet who knows what she was really thinking as she casually remarked, ”I’m not young anymore, it’s about time I find a Dao companion.”

Chen Mo had mentioned it offhandedly, but hearing this, he unexpectedly felt unsettled and asked, ”Yiren, could it be that you’re interested in him as well?”

Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t respond directly and instead summoned the Wine Gourd, took a sip, and said, ”If someone wants to be my Dao companion, they at least have to be able to defeat me, otherwise if danger arises, I’d have to protect him...”

”Ah...” Hearing this, Chen Mo felt an indescribable emptiness in his heart, as if she was speaking about him.

Zuoqiu Yiren glanced at Chen Mo, then started to leave, saying, ”I also have to find him pleasing to the eye. By the way, I’ll be living here from now on.”

Chen Mo was still in slight disappointment from Yiren’s earlier words. Hearing her say this, he didn’t immediately react and asked, ”Yiren, don’t you have your own cave dwelling?”

”I do, but I haven’t lived there in a long time, and I don’t want to tidy it up. Besides, you have to brew wine for me, living separately won’t do. I also don’t cultivate, so I won’t use up your True Qi.”

Chen Mo quickly said, ”I didn’t mean that.”

Zuoqiu Yiren turned around, her clear, ethereal eyes glanced at him, ”You disagree.”

”How could I?” Chen Mo replied quickly, though inwardly he thought, ”I couldn’t be happier.”

”Stop standing around, I’m going to teach you to transform your Nascent Soul.”

”Transform the Nascent Soul?”

Chen Mo was taken aback and slowly followed behind along with Xiao Jiu.

Inside the cave dwelling, atop a fountain, grew an enormous lotus flower.

As Zuoqiu Yiren explained, this lotus was where Chen Mo would cultivate and sleep in the future.

The roots of the lotus penetrated deep into the fountain, continually absorbing the energy within, and the pink flower gradually bloomed, bursting forth the next instant with a torrent of True Qi.

This True Qi was vast and pure, ancient, and entirely different from the True Qi Chen Mo usually absorbed.

”This True Qi feels strange, like it’s been aged for a long time.” Chen Mo watched the endless streams of True Qi emanating from the flower with a tinge of shock in his eyes, sensing that this True Qi was purer and stronger than what he had previously absorbed.

”This is Primordial True Qi, more ancient, violent, and powerful than current True Qi, existing before the Divine War. After the war, heaven and earth were transformed, and the current True Qi is gentler, suited for cultivators. However, the might of Divine Techniques powered by this current True Qi pales compared to those powered by Primordial True Qi.

So, I want you to convert your internal True Qi to Primordial True Qi and transform your Nascent Soul, so even if you aren’t in the Daoist Alliance, you can convert True Qi absorbed from the Primordial Heaven into Primordial True Qi. As for its violent nature, it won’t be a problem for you...”

Chen Mo understood Zuoqiu Yiren’s intentions, nodded, and sat in a lotus position on the lotus seat, eyes slightly closed, activating the Thunder Jade Scripture, unleashing suction from his Dantian.

The surrounding Primordial True Qi was immediately drawn, transforming into golden currents that quickly flowed into Chen Mo through his mouth and nose.

As the golden currents entered his body, they traveled along his meridians, reaching his Dantian, and were ultimately swallowed by the little figure residing there.

The little figure was Chen Mo’s Nascent Soul, resembling Chen Mo exactly.

The Primordial True Qi was rapidly refined, filling the Dantian.

Moreover, Chen Mo was surprised to find that as the golden currents were refined, he could feel slight traces of heat flowing within the True Qi.

This heat felt as if it was burning.

”This must be the ferocity Yiren mentioned...” Chen Mo could sense the increased activity and strength of this True Qi compared to what he previously absorbed.

This burning sensation didn’t deter him, continuing his absorption and refining process.

Seeing Chen Mo enter into cultivation, Zuoqiu Yiren casually found a spot to lie down in the cave and said to Xiao Jiu, ”Return to your cave dwelling. You too can undergo the transformation process like him; it won’t be accomplished in a short time.”

After speaking, Zuoqiu Yiren took a swig of wine.

Xiao Jiu had followed Chen Mo to his cave dwelling.

Primarily because she wished to quickly become her master’s woman.

But now, her master was in the midst of cultivation and transformation, with Zuoqiu Yiren watching nearby.

Engaging in any intimate activities was impossible, so after pondering, Xiao Jiu returned to her own cave dwelling.

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The matter of the Daoist Alliance’s trials had almost spread throughout the Primordial Heaven.

Now, who hasn’t heard that the ”Daoist Alliance” has produced a disciple with the Three Immortal Body? Chen Mo’s name had found its way into the ears of disciples, Elders, and even Sect Leaders from various major factions.

Naturally, it was also known that the Qingqiu Spirit Fox Xiao Jiu was Chen Mo’s servant.

The fact that Xiao Jiu had the Divine Fox Body also spread.

Beast Domain.

The stronghold of all Demon Beasts.

The entire domain, almost exclusively inhabited by Demon Beasts. If one saw a human figure, it was a Demon Beast in human form.

Though all Demon Beasts are collectively referred to as the Demon Race, the ones truly considered part of the Demon Race were.

Only the Spirit Foxes of Qingqiu, the Dragon Race of Celestial Heaven, and the Phoenix Race of Phoenix Realm.

These three races occupy two-thirds of the Beast Domain, the remaining one-third divided among all other Demon Races.

In a space akin to Chaos, ancient-like streams of air hovered.

Within this vast space stood an incredibly sacred giant mountain.

This giant mountain is known as Qingqiu.

The Spirit Foxes living on Qingqiu Mountain are also called Qingqiu Spirit Foxes.

At the highest point of Qingqiu Mountain, a solemn and towering silver great hall stands, shaped like a giant fox.

The defenses here were exceptionally stringent.

Inside the silver great hall, the floor paved with crystals reflected the powerful and awe-inspiring shadows above.

”Are all the Elders present?” At the very top of the hall, a Spirit Fox whose size was about a zhang, with a cyan light wheel atop its head, spoke in human tongue.

Below, Spirit Foxes of various colors replied respectfully, ”High Priest.”

”Regarding the matter of the Daoist Alliance trial, I believe everyone has heard of it, so I’ll get straight to the point. Our Qingqiu Spirit Foxes have the noblest bloodline within the Demon Race, yet now acknowledge a human as master. Even though that human possesses the Three Immortal Body, it’s unacceptable for our race, especially since the Spirit Fox in question is the future king of our race.” The White Fox known as the High Priest spoke with an air of sharpness and authority in its eyes.
