Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

”Chen Mo...” Ao Huang gritted his teeth.

The crowd followed Ao Huang’s gaze. Many had heard of Chen Mo but didn’t know what he looked like.

Now, they knew.

”Is he Chen Mo?”

”Must be, Three Immortal Body, finally seeing a living one.”

”I heard Chen Mo learned the True Dragon Treasure Skill of the Dragon Race; now when the Dragon Race sees him, it’s no different from seeing an enemy.”

”Isn’t the True Dragon Treasure Skill only cultivable by the Dragon Race? How did Chen Mo, a human, learn it?”

”He’s got the Three Immortal Body; his constitution is exceptional, not something our mere Purple Body can compare to. Of course, he could learn it.”

Not only them, but practically everyone in Primordial Heaven attributed Chen Mo’s ability to learn the True Dragon Treasure Skill to his Three Immortal Body.

The three disciples beside Li Yuntian also coincidentally looked towards Chen Mo.

The three of them were prodigies of the Demon Beast Sect.

Despite geniuses sometimes appreciating each other, there can also be hostility.

Just a glance could spark a thought.

Besides being handsome, is there anything special?

They even felt a bit tempted to challenge Chen Mo.

In Li Yuntian’s perspective, against external threats, the Human Race should stand united; both the Daoist Alliance and Demon Beast Sect are reputable sects, so Li Yuntian naturally regarded Ye Yiren as part of his side. He looked at Ao Huang and said, ”Just the three of you dragons can’t seal off the entire Grand Canyon.”

Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t speak.

She knew Li Yuntian was leveraging her situation, but she also intended to leverage Li Yuntian’s presence; otherwise, if the Dragon Race really sealed off the area, no one could enter.

Ao Huang’s face sank.

He had heard from Ao Yan about Zuoqiu Yiren’s strength.

Adding Li Yuntian in, the three dragons really weren’t opponents.

He had already sent for help, but the East Sea Shore was far from the Beast Domain, and reinforcements would take time to arrive.

”We’ll see.” Since they couldn’t seal the area, Ao Huang dove into the Grand Canyon, followed closely by the other two dragons.

”Thank you, Zuoqiu Fairy.” Li Yuntian cupped his hands towards Zuoqiu Yiren and was about to suggest mutual care once inside.

Zuoqiu Yiren merely glanced at Li Yuntian and said nothing, then with Chen Mo and the others transformed into streams of light, diving into the Grand Canyon.

Zuoqiu Yiren held no particular affection for the Demon Beast Sect.

Given that the Demon Beast Sect was a reputable sect not participating in malevolent acts, unlike evil cultivators.

But because of the Demon Beast Sect’s special nature, it often had to collaborate with many demon beast groups from the Beast Domain, making the sect particularly close to the Demon Race.

Of course, there was neither affection nor hostility.

Just treating them as strangers was fine.

Li Yuntian furrowed his brows, but he had heard Zuoqiu Yiren was difficult to deal with, so he didn’t think much of it and quickly followed with his three companions.

...

The Deep Sea Grand Canyon was located over three hundred thousand meters underwater, where the water pressure was extremely strong.

Cultivators below the Golden Core Realm would be crushed by the sheer pressure alone.

Even Golden Core Realm cultivators would find breathing a bit difficult, causing palpitations.

”Lost track?” Zuoqiu Yiren frowned.

”Yiren sister, what’s wrong?” Chen Mo asked.

”The Dragon Race people were right; this is, after all, their ancestral ground, so they’re more familiar with it than us. As an ancient Dragon Race treasure vault, it must be filled with arrays and mechanisms. Even if their power has waned with time, they’re not to be underestimated. I originally planned to follow the Dragon Race people to quickly pass through here, but I didn’t expect them to shake us off.” Zuoqiu Yiren replied.

She hadn’t responded to Li Yuntian earlier, not only due to little fondness for the Demon Beast Sect but also because of this plan. Who knew if there might be an ancient array hidden in this dark canyon, but by following the Dragon Race, they could have avoided them.

But now, there’s no hope, and they can only proceed on their own.

”Be cautious.” Zuoqiu Yiren advised.

The group nodded, each retrieving their weapons.

When Chen Mo took out the Heaven-Supporting Bow.

Luo Yuan and Mu Qianqian were both surprised.

Dao Artifacts are extremely rare even within the Daoist Alliance, not something every disciple possesses.

Though both of them had Dao Artifacts, they were still quite astonished to see Chen Mo in the Nascent Soul Realm possessing one.

Especially an uncommon bow-shaped Dao Artifact.

The mainstream Magical Treasures are typically swords, knives, spears.

Less common are hammers, staffs, fans.

Bow-type long-range magical treasures require separately forged arrows, with arrows, to some extent, being consumables; hence, few artifact refining masters would bother forging bow-shaped Dao Artifacts.

But considering Chen Mo’s Three Immortal Body, the attention he receives would undoubtedly be beyond theirs, and any form of Dao Artifact could be acquired, so they felt some relief.

Su Mengyan saw the bone bow in Chen Mo’s hand and understood that this must be that bone bow from the Tomb Mansion in the past.

If it were earlier, seeing Chen Mo take out this bone bow would have made Su Mengyan a bit jealous, especially since Elder Li Meng had said that among the eight Initial Grade Dao Artifacts, the strongest were the bone bow and fan.

But now, having shared intimacy with Chen Mo, Su Mengyan had no such thoughts.

Her Dao Artifact was a hairpin, which could transform into a Hairpin Sword.

The group continued their descent.

Half an incense stick later, Chen Mo and the others saw radiant light below.

Chen Mo used Divine Sense to explore, only to find it blocked by the brilliant light.

”Isolation from Divine Sense probing, seems like the Treasure Vault is over here...” Mu Qianqian’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
