I Will Transmigrate In 10 Days; Fortunately I Have A Cultivation Emulator

If you found out that you would be transmigrated to a fantasy world 10 days later, what would you do in these 10 days?

[Activating the Cultivation Emulator.]

[Your current cultivation talent options are: extraordinary writing skills, disabilities…]

[Day 1. You transmigrated to a small village at the foot of Tianwu Mountain. You were determined to become a great cultivator who was immortal. On the same day, you left the village and headed into the mountains.]

[Day 2. You were in the mountains and hadn't found any food so far. Hungry and thirsty, you sought temporary shelter in a dilapidated temple at night. To your surprise, there were monsters in the temple. You had no means to defend yourself and you died.]

[Ding! You completed the simulation. Every day, you can permanently retain a talent. You can also extract the talents into the real world.]

10 days later, Zhao Hao ventured into the cultivation world, along with 10 top cultivation talents.

Chapter 1: The Cultivation Simulator

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"What? I'll be transmigrating in ten days?"

Zhao Hao's mind suddenly went blank. It was as if tens of thousands of horses were galloping past his mind in an instant. He had never thought that he would finally chance upon a way to transmigrate that he had been waiting for so long.

A light screen suddenly lighted up in front of his eyes.

[Transmigration Countdown: 239:58:13]

[Do you wish to activate the Transmigration Simulator?]

"Whew…" Zhao Hao let out a deep breath and tried to get a hold of himself. As a geek who had only two hobbies—playing games and reading novels, Zhao Hao had fantasized about transmigration countless times day and night. Therefore, he quickly calmed down and began to think about what he should do.

"Transmigration Simulator? This thing is probably like a cheat code for me, I guess. Activate it."

As Zhao Hao activated the simulator, the words on the light screen slowly changed.

[Ding Dong. The Transmigration Simulator has been activated.]

[As it is detected that the Host is about to transmigrate into the fantasy world, the System has received several Cultivation Talents by default.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Intellectual Giftedness", "Inborn Disability", "Devil Fetus", "Son of a Butcher" …]

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

Zhao Hao looked through the ten talents that appeared in a random sequence and decisively selected three of them.

[Devil Fetus (Gold Talent): Your physical qualities increase by 50. Your defense power increases by 20%. Your aptitude for practicing fist, leg, foot, and palm skills increases by 50. Your speed of practicing Evil Cultivation Methods doubles.]

[Son of a Butcher (Blue Talent): Your physical qualities increase by 10. Strength increases by 10. Your intelligence decreases by 20. Your aptitude for practicing Cultivation with Killing Intent slightly increases.]

[Intellectual Giftedness (Blue Talent): Your intelligence increases by 30. You're full of creative talents and extremely eloquent.]

[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]

[On the first day, you transmigrated to a small village at the foot of the Tianwu Mountain. You were determined to become a Great Cultivator and live forever. You walked out of the village that day and headed to the mountain.]

[On the second day, you rushed through the mountain but did not find any food along the way. Your hunger and thirst were unbearable. That night, you had no choice but to sleep in a ruined temple. Unexpectedly, there were demons in the temple, but you did not have any strength to fight back, so you died.]

[Ding! This Cultivation Simulation is over. Each day, you get to permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: Two days. System Cooldown Time: Two minutes.]

Zhao Hao looked at the simulation outcome on the light screen in front of him, and he got chills throughout his body. He suddenly realized that the cultivation world was very difficult to live in. Far from the harmonious society that we live in today, danger was everywhere in that world.

The Cultivation Talents that he had chosen earlier were the best three out of the ten, so he had never expected that he would only survive for two days in the cultivation world.

"If I transmigrated to the real cultivation world instead, wouldn't I have died right away…?" he thought to himself.

However, he was tempted again as soon as he saw that he could permanently retain a Cultivation Talent each day and extract it into the real world. He quickly asked the System, "System, how does the extraction of the cultivation talent work?"

[Ding Dong. Host, please note that you can extract a Cultivation Talent that you need and transfer it to your body in the real world after each Cultivation Simulation.]

[This talent can be brought into the next Cultivation Simulation without occupying a slot on the Cultivation Talent Pane.]

[Please note that you can enter countless simulations every day, but you can only extract one Cultivation Talent.]

[After the Host transmigrates successfully, the System will automatically level up, and you will no longer be able to extract any Cultivation Talent.]

Zhao Hao quickly got up from his bed and paced back and forth in his room. According to the system notification, he still had ten days to prepare for his transmigration into the fantasy world, and he would transmigrate with ten Cultivation Talents.

At the thought of this, Zhao Hao began to tremble with excitement. After the simulation, he had lost hope for his future fate in the fantasy world since it was so dangerous out there. But now, he saw a glimpse of hope for survival.

"So, this means that I'll be able to transmigrate into the fantasy world with ten Cultivation Talents. Although I won't have any Cultivation Base in the beginning, I should be able to grow very quickly with these ten talents."

Suddenly, Zhao Hao thought of a crucial point. He now had a Gold Talent, but what if a higher-level Cultivation Talent appeared in the simulator after he had extracted it? So, he hurriedly asked the System, "System, can an extracted Cultivation Talent be changed to another talent?"

[Ding. Host, please note that the Cultivation Talent selected for extraction may be changed countless times within a day. If you do not extract any Cultivation Talent one day, the chance will be wasted for that day.]

"What time is considered the end of the day?"

[Host, please note that you should always refer to the countdown time. One day ends when 24 hours have passed.]

Zhao Hao looked at the countdown panel next to the light screen.

[Transmigration Countdown: 239:35:23]

There were still over 23 hours left until the next reset of the Cultivation Talents.

Then, Zhao Hao calculated silently based on the information provided by the System.

"What I should do is to make use of the Cultivation Simulator as many times as necessary to identify the best Cultivation Talents, and I also need to select some talents that will allow me to die easily. This way, I will be able to obtain a Cultivation Talent as fast as possible. Otherwise, if I successfully cultivated for a few decades, I'd lose these golden opportunities to obtain the Cultivation Talents."

Having understood this, Zhao Hao stood still on the spot until he thought things through. Then, he said to the System, "I'll keep the Gold Cultivation Talent 'Devil Fetus' for now."

Retaining the best Cultivation Talent so far would not be a bad move, after all.

[Ding! The Cultivation Talent has been extracted.]

Zhao Hao was a little puzzled, as he did not feel any changes in his body.

"That's it?"

As soon as he said that, Zhao Hao's expression suddenly changed. He began to tremble wildly, and several muscles instantly emerged on his body.

His body went from 1.8 meters to 2.2 meters at once. Little did he notice that he began to emanate various evil auras from his head to toe.

His heart kept beating faster and faster. He could hear the sound of his heartbeat very clearly.

"F*ck, it's too painful…"

Although Zhao Hao could feel that his entire body was filled with strength, such bone-piercing pain was too much for him to bear.

Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a few minutes before his body completely adapted to this Cultivation Talent.

"Not bad, not bad. Although this evil aura is a little annoying, I'm way stronger than before."

Zhao Hao clenched his fist and punched the floor at his feet.

"Boom…"

There was a loud bang. His fist pierced through the hard floor and went right into the ground. There were no injuries on it at all when he pulled it out.

"Thank God I live in a single-story house. If I lived upstairs, I would've frightened the people downstairs to death…" Zhao Hao looked at his fist and said with satisfaction.

Chapter 2: Red Cultivation Talent

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Ding Dong. The cooldown period of the Cultivation Simulator has ended. Do you want to start the simulation now?]

"Yes."

[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Battle Maniac", "Inborn Disability", "Good Swimmer", "Extreme Survival", "Swift Swallow" …]

Zhao Hao looked at them carefully. They were all some bullsh*t White and Blue Talents, so he was interested in none of them.

He randomly selected three talents, and the simulation started.

[Battle Maniac (Blue Talent): Your strength increases by 20. Your attack speed increases by 10%.]

[Inborn Disability (White Talent): Your strength decreases by 10. You were born without an arm, so you can cultivate a special technique.]

[Swift Swallow (Blue Talent): Your agility increases by 10. Your speed of practicing the Lightness Skill doubles.]

[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]

[On the first day, you transmigrated to a small village at the foot of the Tianwu Mountain. You were determined to become a Great Cultivator and live forever. However, you knew that there were monsters in the ruined temple in the mountain, so you did not act rashly.]

[On the second day, you stumbled upon an untitled sword-fighting manual in the dwelling of Widow Zhang by the side of a small river. You practiced it hard. With your intelligence and multiple Cultivation Talents, you soon achieved a minor success in your sword skills.]

[On the third day, you cultivated nonstop and finally comprehended a trace of Sword Energy. You felt that you were capable enough again. You thought that you became a martial arts expert, and your confidence increased a lot, so you packed your bags and wanted to walk out of the mountain.]

[On the fourth day, you went to the ruined temple where you died last time on purpose and killed all the little demons there. However, you did not expect that there was an Evil God worshipped in the temple. You were just about to run away, but the Evil God opened its eyes, and you died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: Four days. System Cooldown Time: Four minutes.]

"F*ck. F*ck. F*ck…" Zhao Hao almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw this outcome. He did okay this time. It was much better than his first time where he had only survived for two days. This time, he had survived for four days…

Anyway, why was this transmigration location so dangerous? Not only were there demons, but there was also an Evil God.

Although he had died again, the System had given him much more information this time. Now he knew that in a simulation, he could operate based on what he had already known. For example, he did not know that there were demons in the ruined temple in the first simulation, but he knew about it in the second simulation.

Then, Zhao Hao recalled what happened in the simulation and thought he would do the exact same things as what he had done in the simulation, considering his impulsive personality.

So, he began to recollect the information that he had gotten.

There was an untitled sword-fighting manual in the dwelling of Widow Zhang by the side of a small river. So, there was a small river at the edge of the village… He considered whether he could leave the village by the water next time.

As Zhao Hao thought about it, the cooldown period of the Cultivation Simulator ended.

[Ding. The cooldown period of the Cultivation Simulator has ended.]

"Start the simulation."

[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Aristocrat", "Inborn Disability", "Descendant of a Mountain", "Water Spirit" …]

Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in front of Zhao Hao.

"Golden Legend…"

No…

"It's a Red Cultivation Talent!!!"

[Mahayana Holy Body (Red Talent): All your basic attributes increase by 300. This is a unique physique that is rarely seen in a million years. It is the strongest sacred body in the martial arts world. Your aptitude to practice all kinds of Cultivation Methods is the world's highest. Your attack power is twice the original attack power.]

With no hesitation, Zhao Hao selected this Red Cultivation Talent that is so rare to come by.

"Eh, this talent is so powerful, but I can't afford to survive in the simulation for too long. Oh, right. I should couple it with two other talents that will allow me to die fast."

"Although I have the Red Cultivation Talent, I still have to rely on death to get more information…"

[Inborn Disability (White Talent): Your strength decreases by 10. You were born without an arm, so you can cultivate a special technique.]

[Bad Luck (Blue Talent): Your luck decreases by 100. You are cursed with misfortune.]

[On the second day, you completed your raft. You snuck into the room of Widow Zhang and found the untitled sword-fighting manual.]

[On the third day, you quickly picked up the sword skills. Even though you were born without an arm, you were extraordinarily talented. In just one day, you comprehended several streaks of Sword Energy and mastered the art of sword-fighting.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit came from outside to raid the village. You used your masterful sword skills to kill the bandit and obtained an Iron-Slashing Sword.]

[On the fifth day, you started going down the river in the raft to the unknown destination…]

[On the sixth day, as the stream joined the big river, the waves almost broke your raft. You saw many shadows surrounding your raft in the river…]

[On the seventh day, you saw a derelict dock. You had no choice but to go ashore here, as the shadows beneath the raft were too scary. The moment you got ashore, a big fish smashed your raft into pieces.]

[On the eighth day, you wandered the wilderness without seeing a single human being for a long time. You were tired and hungry. You tried to look for some game, but you could not find any.]

[On the ninth day, you were besieged by a pack of wolves. Fortunately, you had mastered your swordsmanship. You killed them all, peeled off their skins, and solved your hunger.]

[On the tenth day, you finally saw a city. You traded the wolf skins for some money and found an inn to rest.]

[On the 11th day, when you were eating in the inn, you heard the people around you talking, and you found out that cultivation sects were taking in disciples around here.]

[On the 12th day, you went out to find out more information, and you finally learned that there were two groups of cultivators in the city. One was the Evil Ghost Sect, and the other was the Noble Aspiration Sect. Both of them came here from the mountain to recruit disciples. One was part of the righteous faction, and the other was part of the evil faction. You observed them for a long time and finally thought it might be easier to survive in the evil sect. So, you took part in the assessment of the Evil Ghost Sect and passed it smoothly.]

[On the 13th day, your Mahayana Holy Body was exposed on the way to the Evil Ghost Sect, and a Nascent-Soul-stage Elder who was leading the team possessed your body. You died.]

Chapter 3: Mahayana Holy Body

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 13 days. System Cooldown Time: 13 minutes.]

"Hmm… Well, well. I thought I would go far and start my cultivation this time…"

"It must have been because of the Cultivation Talent 'Bad Luck'. I only died because of my bad luck."

"Anyway, I definitely can't let those cultivators know about my Mahayana Holy Body. Otherwise, I'm afraid that either the righteous or the evil sect will try to possess my body…"

"System, extract the Cultivation Talent 'Mahayana Holy Body'."

[Ding! The Cultivation Talent "Mahayana Holy Body" has been extracted.]

Zhao Hao suddenly felt his body shrinking, and he returned to his original height of 1.8 meters. He heard something breaking.

Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a big mouthful of smelly black blood.

His entire body started changing. His eyes and hair emitted rays of golden light, and his muscles became more visible.

After about ten minutes, the light gradually faded.

Zhao Hao's body had never felt this free before. His blood was full of vitality, and his entire body was filled with power.

It was a feeling that he had never experienced before.

There was also a tremendous change in terms of his appearance. Rays of golden light flickered in his eyes, making him different from ordinary people.

His symptoms that had resulted from staying up late for a long time, like the dark circles under his eyes and his kidney deficiency, all disappeared. He no longer had lower back pain, and his legs no longer hurt.

"The Cultivation Talent 'Mahayana Holy Body' is very powerful, indeed. It's much greater than 'Devil Fetus'. It can even cure my kidney deficiency…"

Zhao Hao got up and cleaned up the black blood that he had just spat on the floor. He felt terribly hungry right after that.

He quickly turned on his phone and ordered takeout, a pack of cigarettes, and a bottle of coke.

Soon, the takeout arrived. It was five pieces of fried chicken.

The moment Zhao Hao came into contact with the delivery man…

[Ding! The White Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

Zhao Hao slowly closed the door while maintaining the same expression.

"System, what is this White Cultivation Talent selection pool?"

[Host, please note that there are not many Cultivation Talents originally in the System. The System may capture new Cultivation Talents through your contact with other people or things.]

Zhao Hao nodded. He planned to go out for a walk later to collect more Cultivation Talents.

Then, he unpacked the steaming hot fried chicken and started eating and drinking iced coke.

Zhao Hao knew very well that if he did not eat it now, he might not get to have such delicious food anymore once he transmigrated.

"Delicious. Sure enough, fried chicken coupled with coke is a world-class delicacy."

Soon, Zhao Hao finished all five pieces of fried chicken. He patted his stomach with satisfaction and lit up a cigarette.

"Whew… This is awesome…"

"Well, I already extracted a Red Talent today. I may as well go out and collect more talents since I won't extract it even if I get another good one."

After satisfying his appetite, Zhao Hao changed into a clean set of clothes and left the room.

[Ding! The White Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Blue Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The White Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

…

[Ding! The Blue Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The White Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

…

Zhao Hao walked on the bustling streets of the city. Wherever he saw a crowd, he went there.

However, most of the talents that had been captured were low-level Cultivation Talents like the White and Blue Talents.

After strolling around for a long time, Zhao Hao still did not feel tired as the increase in his basic attributes effected by the Cultivation Talent "Mahayana Holy Body" was simply too high.

Zhao Hao had a good meal in some restaurant that he randomly picked. After that, he went home feeling satisfied.

He decided to go through one more simulation today.

"System, start the simulation."

[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Little Calabash King Kong", "Just Play", "Personal Jade Pendant", "Left-Handed Man" …]

Zhao Hao looked through them and selected three talents.

[Personal Jade Pendant (White Talent): A nameless jade pendant whose function is unknown.]

[Just Play (White Talent): All your basic attributes decrease by half. Your chances of death increase.]

[Little Calabash King Kong (Purple Talent): Your physical qualities increase by 50. You will always look like a dwarf.]

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the second day, you thought it was not suitable for you to travel by the water, so you wanted to explore the mountains near the village. You snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang and found the untitled sword-fighting manual.]

[On the third day, you picked up the sword skills very quickly by virtue of your extraordinary talent. In just one day, you comprehended several streaks of Sword Energy and mastered the art of sword-fighting.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit came to raid the village. You killed him and obtained an Iron-Slashing Sword.]

[On the fifth day, you decided to explore the mountains. You stayed in the ruined temple for the night on purpose. That night, you first killed the demons and then fought with the Evil God. You finally killed it at dawn.]

[On the sixth day, since you had fought with the Evil God for the entire night and suffered some injuries, you rested in the ruined temple for a day.]

[On the seventh day, you rushed through the mountains. The fog was dense, and you got lost.]

[On the eighth day, you were still lost…]

[On the ninth day, you encountered a team of evil ghosts in the mountains. There were 16 of them. They carried a coffin and walked past you. You did not act rashly, and they only glanced at you before leaving.]

[On the tenth day, you finally walked out of the mountains and entered the territory of Liang.]

[On the 11th day, you traded the bodies of the demons and the beasts that you had killed in the mountains for a good amount of money.]

[On the 12th day, you participated in the trial of the renowned righteous faction of Liang, the Ascension Sect.]

[On the 13th day, your Mahayana Holy Body was exposed. An Elder of the Ascension Sect possessed your body, and you died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 13 days. System Cooldown Time: 13 minutes.]

Zhao Hao stood still on the spot without uttering a word for a long time…

"F*ck, the righteous faction and the evil faction are all the same! They are all shameless!"

Chapter 4: Besieged by Evil Ghosts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Whether I walked through the mountains or traveled by the water, I died either way. Even if I went to the cultivation sects, somebody from either the righteous or the evil factions would possess my body. System, I might as well just stay in the small village and go nowhere else. This way, I'd finally be able to survive, wouldn't I?" Zhao Hao said helplessly to the System.

[Ding. Host, please note that the starting point is the Novice Village. If you do not walk out of there, a heavenly tribulation will descend upon you after a month, and you will never recover from it.]

Zhao Hao accepted his fate. In order to survive after the transmigration, he had to plan out the perfect route.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hao listed down all the information he had obtained that day.

"There's an untitled sword-fighting manual in the dwelling of Widow Zhang. I'll comprehend several streaks of Sword Energy when I master it."

"A bandit comes to the village on the fourth day. I'll obtain an Iron-Slashing Sword after I kill him."

"There is a small river on the edge of the village. If I drift along the river, I'll enter a big river."

"In the big river, there are monsters like big fish, water ghosts, and all."

"After getting ashore from the big river, I'll be in a wilderness where resources are extremely scarce, and I'll be attacked by wolves."

"At the end of the wilderness, there's a small town. Two sects will be recruiting disciples there."

"There's an Evil God temple in the mountain. There are demons and an Evil God in the temple. They aren't strong, and I can deal with them when I've achieved a minor success in my sword skills."

"There's also a team of evil ghosts carrying a coffin in the mountain. They didn't initiate an attack on me."

"I mustn't let any cultivation sect find out about my Mahayana Holy Body, as they'll definitely possess my body for the unique physique."

…

After editing all the information in the notepad, Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction. He had collected a lot of information today, so he could rest now.

Zhao Hao slowly fell asleep.

In his dream, he successfully slew all kinds of immortals, devils, and gods with the help of the Cultivation Simulator and finally became Emperor Hao.

The next time the sun shone on his face, Zhao Hao had rested for the whole night. He got out of bed, ordered a breakfast takeout, and began to wash up.

While cleaning himself up, he said to the System, "System, start the Cultivation Simulation."

[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Tiger-Fighting Hero", "White Strip in the Waves", "Son of a Blacksmith", "Apprentice in Alchemy" …]

There is not a single Red Talent, nor a Gold Talent. So, Zhao Hao just picked three talents at random.

[Tiger-Fighting Hero (Blue Talent): Your strength increases by 30. Injuries to tiger-like demonic beasts worsen by 50%.]

[White Strip in the Waves (Blue Talent): Your agility increases by 20. You can swim fast underwater. You can hold your breath underwater for up to 12 hours.]

[Apprentice in Alchemy (White Talent): Your intelligence increases by 5. You know a thing or two about the effects of herbs. Your success rate of making medicinal pills and elixirs is 1%.]

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the second day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang, found the untitled sword-fighting manual, and started to focus on your training.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit came to raid the village. You killed him and obtained an Iron-Slashing Sword.]

[On the fifth day, you continued to practice your sword skills.]

[On the sixth day, you continued to practice your sword skills.]

…

[On the 13th day, your sword skills achieved sublimity. The village head told you that you were now a first-rate martial arts expert. You were thrilled, thinking that you could finally explore Jianghu.]

[On the 14th day, you went into the mountains with the Iron-Slashing Sword in your hand in the hope of gaining some practical experience. You encountered a team of evil ghosts in the mountains. There were 16 of them carrying a box. They surrounded you and attacked you. You were outnumbered, and you eventually died in the battle.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 14 days. System Cooldown Time: 14 minutes.]

"Eh, wasn't it supposed to be a coffin like I remember? Why was it a box this time?"

Zhao Hao opened the note he created yesterday with some doubt. He confirmed that what he remembered was right, and he finally came to a conclusion after thinking for a while.

"Oh, and the village head. He's a new NPC. I have to look into him…"

Soon, the takeout was delivered. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Zhao Hao went out again. He wanted to try and collect some good Cultivation Talents.

After wandering aimlessly for a while, he found that most of the talents that he had collected in the ordinary crowd were Blue and White Talents.

Just when Zhao Hao was at his wit's end…

[Ding! The Purple Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

"Eh? Purple?"

Zhao Hao's face lit up. He looked up and found himself standing on an antique street.

"It's an antique street? Can Cultivation Talents be captured from antiques too?"

Although it was a little puzzling, Zhao Hao did not waste any time and continued wandering around the antique street.

[Ding! The Purple Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Orange Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Purple Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The White Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

…

He began to look happier as he became certain that these high-level Cultivation Talents were really captured from the antiques.

After wandering around the antique street without collecting any more high-level Cultivation Talents for a while, Zhao Hao let out a long sigh and walked out of the antique street.

Question: What was the first thing that a person who knew that he was going to transmigrate soon or that the city would soon be surrounded by zombies wanted to do?

Answer: To hoard cash and other resources, of course.

That was exactly what Zhao Hao thought and did. He cashed out all kinds of jewelry and gold bars and got 70,000 yuan.

It was still not enough for him. Zhao Hao went to various loan companies.

Whether there was a 30% or even more exorbitant interest, he took out all the loans he could get.

In just half a day, the capital in Zhao Hao's hand went from a few thousand yuan to over 400,000 yuan.

He glanced at the Transmigration Countdown and saw that there were only two hours left before the reset, so he seized the time and took a relaxing walk.

Now that he had money, he strolled leisurely with peace of mind. Suddenly, there was a temple in front of Zhao Hao.

"Eh, White Horse Temple? Isn't this the oldest and the world-famous Buddhist temple in our country? But isn't it supposed to be in Luoyang? Why is it here?"

After approaching the temple and taking a closer look, he saw a stone tablet next to the temple.

Chapter 5: A Rewarding Trip

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Written on the stone tablet was "White Horse Temple Branch founded by the White Horse Group Co. Ltd".

"Uh…"

Although he was a little speechless, Zhao Hao still walked right through the main door.

This branch of the White Horse Temple did not look very grand, but apparently, particular care had been devoted to the decor. There were imitations of everything that the original temple had here.

After buying a ticket, Zhao Hao walked straight into the main hall in the middle.

Looking at the several Buddha statues enshrined there, Zhao Hao suddenly had an idea.

Since Cultivation Talents could be captured from antiques, there was no reason that they could not be captured from Buddha statues.

As Zhao Hao thought of this, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He walked straight to a statue of Guanyin.

[Ding! The Gold Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

Zhao Hao was right. His heart was instantly filled with excitement. Since a Gold Cultivation Talent had been captured through a statute of Guanyin, there must be higher-level talents around here.

He quickly walked around the Buddha statues.

[Ding! …]

He had collected over ten Cultivation Talents along the way. Even the most inferior one was an Orange Talent. The Cultivation Talents captured through these Buddhas were all great, indeed.

Finally, after collecting Cultivation Talents through almost all the Buddha statues, Zhao Hao walked to the Rulai Buddha statue in the middle.

However, he received no system notification. With a confused look on his face, Zhao Hao stepped over the fence, went to the front of the Rulai Buddha statue, and slapped his palm right on it.

"Bam."

His slap formed a palm print on the Rulai Buddha statue, even though the statue was made of pure metal.

[Ding! The Red Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

"Phew… Hmph, you would still be keeping it from me if I didn't get physical, huh?"

Zhao Hao started to admire his brain.

Suddenly, Zhao Hao felt something. He immediately raised his head to look up at the Rulai Buddha statue. At that moment, it was as if the statue had come to life and was looking down at him.

It felt like time and space froze instantly.

"Sir, sir. You're not allowed to go in there. Please come out now," a novice monk of the White Horse Temple rushed over and called out to Zhao Hao when he saw him cross the fence and run to the Rulai Buddha statue.

That pulled Zhao Hao's mind back to reality.

"Okay. Got it. I just wanted to take a closer look at the mighty Rulai Buddha statue."

Feeling a little strange, Zhao Hao shook his head while turning around and walked right out of the temple.

However, Zhao Hao did not notice that the palm print he had just made had vanished and that the Rulai Buddha statue had automatically returned to its original appearance.

After leaving the White Horse Temple, Zhao Hao suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Since a Red Cultivation Talent could be captured from a Buddhist temple, there was no reason that he could not capture more from other religious sites.

However, after he did some thinking, he realized that the White Horse Temple was already the largest religious site in this city. It was a small city, after all. If he wanted to visit larger religious sites, he would have to go out of this city.

Anyway, Zhao Hao had already collected a Red Cultivation Talent today, so he was in no hurry to leave. He just had a quick lunch outside and went home right after.

[Ding! The Cultivation Talent Pane has reset.]

Having heard the system notification, Zhao Hao looked at the countdown timer on the light screen. Exactly 24 hours had passed.

"System, activate the cultivation simulation."

[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Eminent Buddhist Monk", "Vajra Body", "Lotus-like Body", "Reincarnated Buddha" …]

"D*mn, the average quality of this batch of talents is so high. But why isn't there a Red Talent?"

Most of the Cultivation Talents that appeared this time were purple and orange, and there were even two gold ones. Unfortunately, there was no Red Talent.

Zhao Hao looked at them for a while and picked the three best talents.

[Reincarnated Buddha (Gold Talent): Your comprehension ability increases by 150. Your intelligence increases by 70. Your speed of learning Buddhist Cultivation Methods increases by 10. Your favorability among Buddhists increases by 60.]

[Vajra Body (Gold Talent): Your physical qualities increase by 200. Effect of physical Cultivation Methods doubles.]

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the second day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang, found the untitled sword-fighting manual, and started to focus on your training.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit came to raid the village. You killed him and obtained an Iron-Slashing Sword.]

[On the fifth day, you suddenly remembered that there were other families in the village. You snuck into the residence of the village head and found a manual on a Buddhist Cultivation Method, the "Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill". You kept practicing it after you went home. With your talent in Buddhist Cultivation Methods, you mastered the skill with great success.]

[On the sixth day, you continued to practice the Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill.]

…

[On the 15th day, you practiced the Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill to perfection. Now your bones and muscles were as strong as iron and steel, as your body had achieved invulnerability.]

[On the 16th day, you walked into the mountain as you wanted to gain some practical experience there. You killed the demons and the Evil God in the ruined temple.]

[On the 17th day, you were still full of fears for the outside world. You were determined to train yourself in the mountain. After killing dozens of demons there, you discovered another magnificent temple deep in the mountain.]

[On the 18th day, you walked into the temple and found that it was an Evil God temple. The Evil God you had previously killed in the abandoned Evil God temple had only been a doppelgänger of the Evil God. You showed your martial prowess once again and fought with the Evil God. However, at the most critical moment, 16 evil ghosts carrying a jar came in from outside. You continued to fight with the Evil God and the evil ghosts. In the end, you died from exhaustion.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 18 days. System Cooldown Time: 18 minutes.]

Zhao Hao was expressionless. He opened the notepad on his phone and started to take notes right away.

"This is the third team of evil ghosts that I've met. They were carrying a jar this time. One of the other two teams was carrying a coffin and the other a box. What's inside is still unknown…"

"I don't know how many teams of evil ghosts are in this mountain. Only the ones carrying a coffin didn't attack me, but the others did."

"Deep in the mountain, there's an Evil God temple. The doppelgänger of the Evil God there is much stronger than the one in the ruined temple."

"There's a manual on the Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill in the residence of the village head."

After taking notes of everything, Zhao Hao put down his phone and spoke to the system, "System, extract the Cultivation Talent 'Vajra Body'."

Chapter 6: Sex Is an Axe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Ding! The Cultivation Talent has been extracted.]

In an instant, Zhao Hao felt the muscles all over his body swelling and the blood throughout his body boiling. It lasted for over ten minutes before his body completely processed it. After integrating with the Vajra Body, Zhao Hao emitted a faint golden Buddha's light all over his body.

Zhao Hao started the next simulation after waiting for a while. He randomly selected three talents and entered the simulation right away.

…

[On the 15th day, you killed all the demons and the Evil God in the ruined temple. Then, you headed toward the Evil God temple deep in the mountain.]

[On the 16th day, you fought the Evil God in the temple deep in the mountain. However, at the most critical moment, 16 ghosts carrying a bottle came in from outside. You killed the Evil God and the evil ghosts. When you were about to open the bottle to see what was inside, a left leg flew out of the bottle and kicked you to death. You died.]

Zhao Hao's eyes lit up when he saw the system notification. It turned out that a broken limb was inside the bottle. He guessed that the things that the other teams of evil ghosts had carried had also been severed limbs.

"It kicked me to death with just a single kick. Those broken limbs seem very powerful…"

Soon, the system cooldown period ended. Zhao Hao activated the simulator again and randomly selected three talents.

…

[On the 16th day, you went to the Evil God temple deep in the mountain again.

You killed the Evil God and the evil ghosts. Finally, a left arm reached out of the vat carried by the evil ghosts punched you in the head, and you died.]

Zhao Hao couldn't help but frown when he regained his consciousness. He had already practiced the Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill to perfection, and he had also mastered his swordsmanship with great success. But why couldn't he beat those broken limbs?

After resting for a while, Zhao Hao decided to explore the village first before entering the mountain in the next simulation.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

"Swoosh—"

A ray of dazzling red light appeared on the light screen in front of Zhao Hao.

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Born Arhat", "Fine Young Man", "Benevolence", "Longevity" …]

With no hesitation, Zhao Hao selected the Red Cultivation Talent.

[Vajra Body (Gold Talent): Your physical qualities increase by 200. Effect of physical Cultivation Methods doubles.]

[Born Arhat (Red Talent): All your basic attributes increase by 300. You were born an Arhat, a candidate for a Buddha. You can comprehend Buddhist divine skills on your own and cultivate all kinds of Buddhist Cultivation Methods.]

[Fine Young Man (Blue Talent): Your charm increases by 30. Your attractiveness to the opposite sex significantly increases.]

[Benevolence (Purple Talent): Your luck increases by 50. You have a heart of compassion that wishes to salvage all the beings in the world. Ordinary evil demons cannot get close to you.]

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the second day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang and tried to steal the untitled sword-fighting manual. Unexpectedly, Widow Zhang was at home. Widow Zhang thought you had an extraordinary physique and good looks. You slept with her and only went back in the evening.]

[On the third day, you thought you had nothing to do, and you missed Widow Zhang a little. You went to her place again and slept with her. You only went back in the middle of the night.]

[On the fourth day, you made your decision. You felt that cultivation was in no way more fun than sleeping with Widow Zhang. Plus, it was very safe in the village. You went to the place of Widow Zhang again and slept with her. This time, you did not even bother to go back. You just stayed at her place.]

…

[On the 13th day, you suddenly came back to your senses. You realized that a man was born for the world, so how could you…? Just as you wanted to get up from bed, Widow Zhang grabbed you, and you ended up sleeping with her again today.]

…

[On the 21st day, Widow Zhang's relatives came today. You finally had the chance to realize your ambitions and set foot on the path of cultivation. However, Widow Zhang pointed you to herself. You helplessly gave up and slept with her again.]

…

[On the 23rd day, even the Cultivation Talents "Mahayana Holy Body" and "Born Arhat" lost to a woman's body. You walked into the mountains on your weak legs to collect dates and honey in the mountains for Widow Zhang. You encountered demons along the way, but you could not fight back at all, and you died at the hands of the demons.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 23 days. System Cooldown Time: 23 minutes.]

Zhao Hao stood silently on the spot with a red face. He was speechless for a long time.

He had initially wanted to unleash his martial prowess and gather more clues this time. Little did he expect that his path to cultivation ended the moment he saw Widow Zhang.

He had thought that with two Red Cultivation Talents, he would be able to dominate the Novice Village at the very least. Who knew… Sigh.

"D*mn it. I'll definitely make a detour if I meet Widow Zhang again. She sucked me dry even when I had the Cultivation Talents 'Mahayana Holy Body' and 'Born Arhat'. Could she be a succubus…?"

"System, extract the Cultivation Talent 'Born Arhat' and replace the 'Vajra Body' with it."

[Ding! The Cultivation Talent has been extracted.]

"Amitabha…"

"Thus, I have heard…"

"There is no reason that any virtuous men and women would be born out of the Four Paths after hearing the name of this sutra…"

Several figures of Buddhas appeared out of thin air. They bowed to Zhao Hao together and pronounced their names before entering Zhao Hao's mind.

Zhao Hao's head immediately shone with glorious radiance, and a swastika symbol ("卍") appeared on his forehead.

"Amitabha. 'Born Arhat' is indeed a powerful Cultivation Talent…"

Zhao Hao had already had an insane increase in his attributes by virtue of the "Mahayana Holy Body". Now that "Born Arhat" brought another increase in his attributes, the thoughts in his mind immediately became clearer.

"The Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill is only a martial arts secret manual. Even if I practice it to perfection, its power is still ordinary. However, with the talent 'Born Arhat', I can comprehend Buddhist divine skills and automatically attain the 'Skills of the God Acala'."

"There are five teams of evil ghosts in total, each escorting one of the five severed parts of a body. Each part is already so powerful on its own, so I mustn't let them get together. Otherwise, there would be no other way to deal with it."

"Hmm… I have to make a more detailed plan and aim to get out of the mountain this time."

After planning in detail for a while, the cooldown period finally ended.

Chapter 7: Killing a Ghost for the First Time

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Medicinal Spirit Sacred Body", "Family Bloodline", "Taoist Five Thunders Ritual", "Pet Expert" …]

None of the talents that appeared this time were outstanding, so Zhao Hao just selected three of them at random again.

[Family Bloodline (Purple Talent): A random family bloodline, hence random specific effects.]

[Taoist Five Thunders Ritual (Purple Talent): Your attack has a 1% chance of unleashing the Five Thunders Mantra.]

[Pet Expert (Blue Talent): Your success rate of capturing pets increases by 50%.]

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang and found an untitled sword-fighting manual. You started practicing it.]

[On the second day, you snuck into the residence of the village head and found a manual on the "Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill". You began cultivating the divine skill.]

[On the third day, you practiced the sword skills during the day and cultivated the Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill at night.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit attacked the village. You killed him effortlessly and obtained an Iron-Slashing Sword.]

…

[On the 15th day, your sword skills achieved sublimity. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", the sword-fighting technique you had learned automatically evolved into the "Arhat Demon Subjugation Sword-Fighting Technique". Your Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill reached perfection. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", it automatically evolved into the "Skills of the God Acala".]

[On the 16th day, you had already mastered two Buddhist Cultivation Methods. You decided to go to the mountain to take revenge. You first killed all the demons and the doppelgänger of the Evil God in the ruined temple. Then, you started hiding to observe the movements of the evil ghosts.]

[On the 17th day, you continued to make a careful observation for a day.]

[On the 18th day, you finally found an opportunity. Before any team of evil ghosts approached the Evil God temple, you entered it and killed the Evil God. Then, you began to wait. Sure enough, not long after, a team of evil ghosts arrived. With two Buddhist Cultivation Methods, you effortlessly killed the evil ghosts and blocked the sneak attack of the severed left leg. While blocking the attack, you accidentally triggered the Five Thunders Mantra. Rumbling thunders struck down, and the broken limb shattered. Suddenly, a series of wails and howls came from the depths of the mountains. You sensed danger and fled back to the village.]

[On the 19th day, over 100 evil ghosts came to the entrance to the village. The leader was a hanged ghost with a Cultivation Base of five hundred years. They did not seem to dare to enter, but they still surrounded the village. The leading hanged ghost asked the villagers to hand you over. The village head came to your place and fell into deep thought as he looked at the Buddhist symbol on your head. After a long time, he asked you to resolve the trouble you had caused yourself.]

[On the 20th day, the hanged ghost continued gathering more evil ghosts. There were already over 300 evil ghosts gathering outside the village. You did not want to implicate the villagers, so you held the Iron-Slashing Sword in your hand and charged into the crowd of evil ghosts. Using the Arhat Demon Subjugation Sword-Fighting Technique and the Skills of God Acala, you killed all the evil ghosts effortlessly, including the hanged ghost. However, you suddenly sensed danger. All the containers brought by the evil ghosts cracked open, and the severed body parts in them began to reassemble on their own. A male corpse with a missing left leg appeared in front of you. You fought with him for three days and three nights. In the end, you died from exhaustion.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 20 days. System Cooldown Time: 20 minutes.]

Zhao Hao squinted, thinking that he had collected more and more information.

Based on the information he had received so far, the dismembered male corpse seemed to be the big boss behind those evil ghosts. The male corpse was very powerful. Even though he had been missing a leg, they had still been neck and neck in the battle.

As for those evil ghosts and the newly appeared hanged ghost, Zhao Hao did not care about them as he could kill them with a flip of his hand.

"Hmm… I should kill as many evil ghosts as possible in the mountains. There are five severed body parts in total. As long as I destroy two or three of them, this male corpse shouldn't be a match for me anymore."

With his exceptionally high intelligence by virtue of his cultivation talents, Zhao Hao instantly thought of a solution.

Just as Zhao Hao was about to rest for a while before starting another simulation, Zhao Hao suddenly perceived an evil aura appearing somewhere not far from his house.

With the Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", Zhao Hao was particularly sensitive to evil auras. Thus, he walked out of the house and directly headed toward the evil aura.

The place where Zhao Hao lived was only a prefecture-level city, and his place was in the suburbs. So, there were few tall buildings. Most of them were single-story houses.

After walking for about 1,000 meters, Zhao Hao saw a river in front of him. The river was not deep, and it was still in broad daylight. There was nothing wrong.

However, in Zhao Hao's eyes, there was a figure in the depths of the river. It stayed still in the water with no sound or movement at all.

"Eh? There's actually a ghost in this world?"

Zhao Hao thought that the evil aura he sensed emanated from this water ghost.

It was the first time Zhao Hao had ever seen a real water ghost, but he did not feel any fear in his heart. With the Cultivation Talents "Mahayana Holy Body" and "Born Arhat" forming his current physique, a mere water ghost was nothing to him.

He walked straight into the river and headed in the direction of the water ghost. Only when he got close enough did Zhao Hao realize something. Although the messy hair of the water ghost covered its face, he could still vaguely tell that it was a woman. He could not see her face clearly, though.

The eyes of the female ghost lit up when she saw someone approaching her. The evil aura on her became a little more intense, and she immediately reached out her hands to grab Zhao Hao.

"Hmph, I can see a lot of resentment on you, evil creature. You must've harmed many people. Let's see how I'm going to subdue you…"

Zhao Hao did not know any spells. He instinctively reached out his hand outright, but he grabbed the neck of the female water ghost at an extremely rapid speed.

[Ding! The Blue Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

"Mm?"

Two big question marks appeared in the minds of Zhao Hao and the female water ghost at the same time.

Zhao Hao wondered how he could be so fast, how he caught a ghost with his bare hands, and why a Cultivation Talent could be captured from a ghost.

On the other hand, the female water ghost wondered how Zhao Hao could possibly see her and how she had been caught just like that.

The female water ghost instantly counterattacked. The hair on its back suddenly grew longer as it charged toward Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao became anxious, so he subconsciously tightened his grip on the female water ghost.

"Bang…"

Zhao Hao crushed the female water ghost before she could respond to it.

"???"

"What? Did I just meet a fake ghost???" Zhao Hao was utterly baffled.

Chapter 8: The Oink God Was Actually a Wild Boar Spirit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After getting rid of a small ghost, Zhao Hao felt a slight difference in his heart.

As a "Born Arhat", he could perceive merit very well. He obtained a little merit for killing the female water ghost. Although it was not many, it was still very rare.

Merit was what all cultivators wanted. Not only could it increase their luck, but it could also help them withstand all kinds of tribulations.

As he walked out of the river, Zhao Hao felt that he should get out more often when he had the time. Since he could encounter water ghosts, he would definitely meet stronger ghosts or demons. Not only could he obtain merits, but he could also expand the Cultivation Talent selection pools. There were just way too many benefits.

After Zhao Hao went home right away, he looked at himself in the mirror, especially his eyes that emitted golden light and the swastika symbol that faintly appeared on his forehead.

"Phew, I suddenly feel Iike I'm much better-looking now…"

After admiring himself for a while, Zhao Hao said to the System, "Start the simulation now."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[On the first day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang and found an untitled sword-fighting manual. You started practicing it.]

[On the second day, you snuck into the residence of the village head and found a manual on the "Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill". You began cultivating the divine skill.]

[On the third day, you practiced the sword skills during the day and cultivated the Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill at night.]

…

[On the 22nd day, you killed a team of evil ghosts and destroyed the left arm they had carried. A terrifying roar came from the mountain. You did not choose to return to the village. Instead, you continued to search for other teams of evil ghosts in the mountain.]

[On the 23rd day, you killed two more teams of evil ghosts, respectively destroying one left leg and one right leg they had carried. Rather than continuing your search, you decided to return to the village and wait for the rest of the evil ghosts.]

[On the 24th day, dozens of evil ghosts came to the entrance of the village. The leader was a hanged ghost with a Cultivation Base of five hundred years. They did not seem to dare to enter, but they still surrounded the village. The leading hanged ghost asked the villagers to hand you over. The village head came to your place and fell into deep thought as he looked at the Buddhist symbol on your head. After a long time, he asked you to resolve the trouble you had caused yourself, but you did not take any action right then.]

[On the 25th day, there were more and more evil ghosts gathering outside the village. You charged into the crowd of evil ghosts, killed all the evil ghosts by yourself, and defeated a male corpse with a head, one arm, and no other limbs. You returned to the village with a glorious victory. The villagers celebrated your win. During the celebration, you saw that the village head seemed to have something to say, but he bit his tongue in the end.]

[On the 26th day, you felt that the village head seemed strange, so you came to his residence. The first thing the village head said to you was that you had an extraordinary physique. He also told you not to leave the mountain at will, or else your body would definitely be possessed by a cultivator.]

[On the 27th day, you had nothing to do in the village, so you came to the dwelling of Widow Zhang again to find out more about the cultivators in this world. Widow Zhang took out a notebook from the heated brick bed. It was a Cultivation Encyclopedia.]

[On the 28th day, you learned a lot of the basic knowledge of the cultivation world from the Cultivation Encyclopedia. Then, the village head came to you and told you that there were several Evil God temples in the mountain. The Evil God was called the Oink God. You had only killed the doppelgängers of the Oink God previously. There might be a way to leave the village if you killed the Oink God.]

[On the 29th day, you decided to destroy the Evil God in the mountain. When you left, Widow Zhang stood at the entrance of the village and watched you leave with deep affection.]

[On the 30th day, you searched for the Evil God.]

…

[On the 36th day, you got lost in the mountain again and walked to a thousand miles-long swamp. You were about to turn back, but a poisonous Flood Dragon suddenly sprang out of the swamp. You had no power to fight back, and you died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 36 days. System Cooldown Time: 36 minutes.]

"Phew… I managed to survive for quite a long time in this simulation. I just didn't expect that there was a swamp not far from the mountain with a poisonous Flood Dragon in it…"

Zhao Hao took a deep breath, took out his phone again, opened the notepad, and started taking notes.

"There seems to be no way to hide my 'Mahayana Holy Body' and 'Born Arhat' talents. It's easy for cultivators to discover my unique physique, and once they discover it, they'll definitely possess my body."

"The village head said that I might be able to find a way out of the village after killing the Evil God. There's a high chance that it might be some hidden treasure or hidden skill…"

"The poisonous Flood Dragon is very powerful. I'll be killed instantly if I come into contact with it. It's best not to provoke it."

After taking down all the information he had obtained in this simulation, he checked the time. It was already getting late.

Zhao Hao immediately turned on his computer and searched for some famous historical sites.

As Zhao Hao already had a Red Buddhist Cultivation Talent, he did not search for temples. Instead, he spent most of his time searching for ancient heritage sites.

After searching for a while, Zhao Hao wrote down a few locations on the notebook in front of him: Temple of Confucius, Mount Longhu, Wudang Mountains, Temple of Guan Yu (the earliest martial temple), and other famous historical sites with a long ancient heritage.

Then, he planned out the locations he would go to the next day and booked a First-Class plane ticket online. Yes, he was just as extravagant as that.

"System, start the simulation now."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

…

[On the 28th day, there were more and more evil ghosts gathering outside the village. You charged into the crowd of evil ghosts, killed all the evil ghosts by yourself, and defeated a male corpse with a head, one arm, and no other limbs. You returned to the village with a glorious victory. The villagers celebrated your win. During the celebration, you saw that the village head seemed to have something to say, but he bit his tongue in the end.]

…

[On the 31st day, you destroyed five Oink God temples deep in the mountain. You finally found a huge Evil God statue on the top of the mountain, so you rushed to the top. Right when you were about to smash the Evil God statue, a black shadow flew out of the Evil God statue and turned into a 200 feet tall wild boar. Only then did you realize that the Oink God was actually a Wild Boar Spirit. This Wild Boar Spirit was also the strongest being in this mountain. You had a great battle with the Wild Boar Spirit, but you could not defeat it. It killed you, and you died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 31 days. System Cooldown Time: 31 minutes.]

The corner of Zhao Hao's mouth could not help but slightly twitch as he shut off the light screen in front of him.

He really had not expected that the awe-inspiring Evil God, the Oink God, who ruled over the entire mountain, would turn out to be a Wild Boar Spirit. More surprisingly, he was not a match for the Wild Boar Spirit, even though he had cultivated two Buddhist divine skills to a very profound level.

He hurriedly took out his phone and opened the notepad.

"At the top of the mountain, there's a huge Evil God statue. It should be the main vessel of the Oink God. The Oink God is a Wild Boar Spirit. It's very powerful but slightly weaker than the poisonous Flood Dragon in the swamp."

Chapter 9: Pig Slaughtering Knife and Buddha Sutra

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Zhao Hao found out the location of the Wild Boar Spirit, the next step for him was to find a way to kill it and, if possible, a way to hide his physique.

Zhao Hao lay on his bed and began to organize his thoughts. As of now, it was obviously very difficult to defeat the Wild Boar Spirit in a short time.

Even at the peak of his strength, he still could not defeat the Wild Boar Spirit when he had challenged it. So, he had to think of another way.

"Eh?" Zhao Hao's eyes instantly lit up. He had an extraordinary physique, and indeed, he could focus on his cultivation for a longer time. The System had mentioned a one-month limit for him to walk out of the village, so he could cultivate until the 29th day and try to kill the Wild Boar Spirit when his strength reached its peak.

He wanted to try once he got the idea. When the cooldown time of the simulator ended, Zhao Hao decisively turned on the simulator.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Flood Dragon Bloodline", "Earth Spiritual Roots", "Butcher's Successor", "Water Control Master" …]

[Flood Dragon Bloodline (Orange Talent): All attributes increase by 50. You have a trace of Flood Dragon bloodline in your body. The impact of the damage you cause to wild beasts and demons increases by 50%.]

[Earth Spiritual Roots (Purple Talent): Your comprehension ability increases by 30. You also have a higher speed of absorbing spiritual energy.]

[Butcher's Successor (Orange Talent): Your killing intent increases by 50. Your family has passed down a martial art, the "Pig Butchering Knife Skills". The impact of the damage you cause to domesticated animals turned wild beasts and demons increases by 200%.]

Zhao Hao felt as if the System had given him a cheat. It was as if the System knew what he was thinking and directly gave him a super-powerful method to deal with the current situation.

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang and found an untitled sword-fighting manual. After that, you snuck into the residence of the village head and found a manual on the "Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill". Then, you took out the manual on the martial arts that only your family had, the "Pig Butchering Knife Skills". You started practicing the skills in all the three secret manuals at the same time.]

[On the second day, you picked up all the skills in the three secret manuals very quickly, thanks to your extraordinary physique.]

[On the third day, you continued practicing the three skills.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit attacked the village. You killed him and obtained an Iron-Slashing Sword. You did not think that the Iron-Slashing Sword was a suitable weapon for the Pig Butchering Knife Skills. So, you found Blacksmith Wang in the east of the village and asked him to help you forge a Pig Slaughtering Knife with the Iron-Slashing Sword.]

…

[On the 13th day, your sword skills achieved sublimity. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", the sword-fighting technique you had learned automatically evolved into the "Arhat Demon Subjugation Sword-Fighting Technique". Your Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill reached perfection. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", it automatically evolved into the "Skills of the God Acala".]

[On the 14th day, you began to focus on learning the Pig Butchering Knife Skills. When you mastered it with great success, a trace of spiritual energy appeared in your body. You hurriedly opened the Cultivation Encyclopedia you had obtained from under the heated brick bed of Widow Zhang. Based on the information inside, you knew that you had entered the first stage of cultivation—the Qi Cultivation stage.]

…

[On the 18th day, you did not know why you gained spiritual energy by learning the Pig Butchering Knife Skills, but you continued to study it diligently. Finally, with the enhancement of many talents, your Pig Butchering Knife Skills reached perfection. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", a secret manual "Buddha Sutra" appeared in your mind. You successfully started your path of cultivation.]

[On the 19th day, you learned your lesson from before and began to cultivate in peace. Your Cultivation Base increased rapidly."

…

[On the 25th day, with your strong cultivation talents, you cultivated all the way to the Foundation Establishment stage. Blacksmith Wang also completed forging the Pig Slaughtering Knife. You did not think it was the time yet, so you planned to cultivate until the last possible moment.]

…

[On the 28th day, you reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. In order to test your strength, you charged into the mountain. Within a day, you killed all the evil ghosts and the dismembered body parts of the male corpse and destroyed all the Evil God temples.]

[On the 29th day, there were no more evil ghosts surrounding the village today. You rested in the village for the entire day and kept your eyes fixed on the top of the mountain far away.]

[On the 30th day, the sky was covered with dark clouds. You already sensed that there would be heavenly thunder if you still did not leave the village. You immediately took out your Pig Slaughtering Knife and flew on it, heading straight to the top of the mountain. When you arrived in front of the statue of the Oink God, you held the Pig Slaughtering Knife in your hand, and killing intent emanated from all over your body. With a single slash, you shattered the statue of the Oink God. As a painful roar came out, a huge Wild Boar Spirit appeared like before and charged straight at you. You triggered the Buddha Sutra and fought with the Wild Boar Spirit. You killed it effortlessly and obtained the Breath Concealing Technique.

[On the 31st day, you practiced the Breath Concealing Technique at the top of the mountain. With your exceptional talents, you soon mastered it with great success. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", it evolved into the Heaven Shrouding Technique. Just as you were getting ready to leave the mountain to explore the Cultivation World, a golden eagle flew over from a distant horizon. A cultivator was standing on it. The golden eagle cracked your Skills of the God Acala with a swing of its claw. The cultivator asked if you had killed his pet. You stayed silent as you had no explanation for it. You chose to use a sneak attack on the cultivator and slashed at him. Your attack was blocked effortlessly, and you were badly beaten. You suffered severe injuries and fell into a coma.]

[On the 32nd day, when you woke up again, you had already been brought to an unfamiliar place. You saw many Evil God statues around you and the cultivator. He told you that since you had killed his pet, he would refine you into his new pet. You learned from him that he came from the Devil Refinement Sect who could refine all kinds of creatures into Evil Gods and have them at their beck and call. When you heard that the cultivator wanted to refine you into a Wild Boar Spirit and the Oink God, you could not take it anymore, so you slit your throat with a slash. You committed suicide, and you died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 32 days. System Cooldown Time: 32 minutes.]

Zhao Hao had an extremely awful expression on his face. He felt like he had jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. It had taken him so much painstaking effort to kill the Wild Boar Spirit that turned out to be only a pet of some cultivator.

He opened his notepad and began to record the information.

"Killing the Wild Boar Spirit will get me the Breath Concealing Technique. When I master it with great success, it will evolve into the Heaven Shrouding Technique that can block the perception of my physique by other cultivators.]

[The Wild Boar Spirit is the pet of a cultivator from the Devil Refinement Sect. If I kill it, I'll face the danger of being hunted down.]

As Zhao Hao recorded this, he suddenly started thinking about whether he could avoid the cultivator from the Devil Refinement Sect if he ran away immediately instead of practicing the Breath Concealing Technique on the top of the mountain. However, he soon realized that it was unlikely. Since the cultivator was so powerful and Zhao Hao did not have any means of hiding, he would definitely find him.

Chapter 10: Ghost Plane

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was already late at night, and Zhao Hao was still pacing around the room. The cultivator from the Devil Refinement Sect was so strong that he had no way to deal with him.

Besides, since he had already extracted the Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat" today, he could not retain the talent "Butcher's Successor". If he did not have the Pig Butchering Knife Skills and the Buddha Sutra, he would not even be able to defeat the Wild Boar Spirit.

After that, Zhao Hao ran a few more simulations. Even in the best of them, he had only barely managed to kill the Wild Boar Spirit, aka the Oink God, and he had been seriously injured and killed by the cultivator from the Devil Refinement Sect after running for a short while. Whereas, in most cases, he had been unable to kill the Wild Boar Spirit and killed by it instead.

As it was already past midnight, Zhao Hao also thought that with his current talents, it was too difficult to overcome this obstacle now. So, he just lay on his bed and fell asleep.

The morning arrived. It was the third day since Zhao Hao had obtained the Cultivation Simulator. There were still seven days before he had to transmigrate into the fantasy world.

Zhao Hao had already finished packing up early in the morning. He did not start the simulation again as the Cultivation Talent Pane had not reset yet. So, he decided to collect more Cultivation Talents first.

He took a cab to the airport. As he was heading to Mount Longhu, he boarded the first flight in the morning to Jiangxi. Zhao Hao was warmly received by the airline stewardess as he was a first-class passenger.

However, Zhao Hao was not in the mood to act charming. He felt like he was destined to become an immortal. A mere mortal woman was not worthy of him.

Therefore, Zhao Hao maintained a cold expression and lay down on his seat. Taking a cue from how Zhao Hao acted, the stewardess knew not to disturb him anymore.

Zhao Hao's city was very far from Mount Longhu in Jianghu. Even if he traveled by plane, it would take him more than three hours to reach. Zhao Hao closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

It was a large passenger plane that could carry around 300 people. The cabins were divided into first class, business class, and economy class, and each of them could carry up to 20, 30, and 250 passengers respectively.

As it was the earliest flight, Zhao Hao was the only one in the first-class cabin. The cabins at the back seemed to have 30 to 50 people.

An hour into the flight, Zhao Hao suddenly wrinkled his nose and noticed an unpleasant smell while he was sleeping.

"What's that?"

Zhao Hao opened his eyes instantly. The smell came from the economy-class cabin. It was not an ordinary bad smell. There was an evil air that Zhao Hao was particularly sensitive to.

"It's that evil air again? Is there a ghost on the plane? How's that possible? If there's a ghost on this plane, I would've noticed it long ago."

Zhao Hao started feeling suspicious.

It just so happened that the first-class flight attendant saw Zhao Hao wake up, so she offered him a drink. Hoping to scare Zhao Hao a little, she said to him, "Sir, a supernatural incident happened at the current location of our plane not long ago. The entire plane disappeared, and no trace has been found till now."

Zhao Hao's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that. He turned his head and looked out the window.

As expected, there was a plane flying parallel to their plane.

It was a ghost plane. This world was not as ordinary as he had thought.

Zhao Hao stood up and gave the stewardess a secretive look. He turned his head and walked toward the business cabin behind him.

The stewardess was a bit confused, but she did not stop Zhao Hao.

When he opened the cabin door, the cabin in front of Zhao Hao was shrouded in a green mist.

The dozens of people in the business cabin, including the stewardesses who had served the business-class passengers, had all fallen into a coma. All of them had a black mark between their eyebrows.

"If there isn't a ghost, what is all this?" Zhao Hao thought to himself.

Zhao Hao did not act rashly. The green mist was obviously not some ordinary ghost energy.

"Ah! What's going on? Sister Zhang, Sister Li, what's wrong with you guys?" The stewardess who came in with Zhao Hao saw the unconscious people and immediately cried out. She wanted to step forward to check on them, but Zhao Hao grabbed her.

"Don't move. Something's off…" Zhao Hao said to the stewardess. Only then did she recognize the strangeness and hurriedly go behind Zhao Hao.

"S-Sir… What's going on? What do we do now? Should we call the police…?" The stewardess said in a trembling voice.

"There's no rush. Tell me, can you see any gas?" Zhao Hao asked the stewardess with some doubt.

"What gas? No, I only saw that all of them had passed out… This is so scary…" The stewardess answered while holding a corner of Zhao Hao's shirt. Her long and round thighs were visibly trembling. It was just too creepy…

"So, you can't see it…" Zhao Hao already understood that he seemed to be the only one who could see the green gas and the ghost plane flying parallel to their passenger plane outside the window.

"Mm? They are coming?" Zhao Hao had been paying attention to the ghost plane, and now many figures on the ghost plane were jumping out of the plane and heading in the direction of this plane.

…

At the same time, right beneath the plane, a group of soldiers in military uniforms were operating several devices that seemed pretty cool and urgently chasing after something.

"Senior Colonel Bai, the supernatural radar shows that the missing plane JK521 has reappeared. It has its eyes on the LH750 plane. Should we carry out physical destruction?" On a command tank, a soldier reported to a female Senior Colonel who looked smart and heroic.

"Has it finally appeared? Is anyone still alive on the LH750?" Bai Bing asked the soldier.

Bai Bing was the captain of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad and a Senior Colonel. Her current mission was to get rid of the ghost plane JK521, which had destroyed many passenger planes.

"Senior Colonel, the life detector shows that there are still five living people on the LH750. Based on their locations, these people should be the two captains and the passengers or the staff in the first-class cabin." The soldier checked the radar and reported what he saw.

"Is there any chance to save them?" Bai Bing could not bear to give up on them just like that. Although she was the captain of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad, she could not make up her mind to kill the civilians.

"Senior Colonel, the LH750 is 11,000 meters away from the ground. The people on it have no chance of surviving." Unfortunately, the soldier rejected Bai Bing's unrealistic idea.

Having been surrounded by the entire ghost plane, the people in LH750 would definitely die. There was no need to rescue them.

"If that's the case, then get ready to fire…" At Bai Bing's order, the armored vehicles that had been chasing the plane immediately transformed as they moved. All the East F-35 missiles that had been specially designed to target supernatural beings aimed at the passenger plane in the air. There were 50 of them in total.

These were all specially processed missiles that could cause extreme harm to the supernatural creatures and destroy them both physically and spiritually.

Chapter 11: Level-Four Supernatural Being

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

All the East F-35 missiles that had been specially designed to target huge supernatural beings were all in place.

They were only waiting for Bai Bing's order to destroy the two passenger planes in the sky at the same time. Physical destruction was the most lethal.

"Wait first and fire only when there's no sign of life on it." Bai Bing said to the soldier next to her.

Currently, there were still a few living people on the plane. As a soldier, Bai Bing would not attack the civilians just to kill the evil spirits.

"Roger." The soldier carried out the orders of his superior strictly and started staring at the life detector on the radar.

…

On the LH750 plane…

At this time, Zhao Hao had not noticed the fatal danger beneath him. He was just calmly watching everything in front of him.

All the strange-looking evil ghosts had entered the cabin one after another.

Judging by their clothes and accessories, Zhao Hao could see that they had used to be the passengers on the ghost plane, but for some unknown reason, they had turned into evil ghosts with strange appearances.

For example, the neck of the evil ghost who had first entered the cabin was more than two meters long. Now it was licking the face of a dead man with his barbed tongue. Every time he licked, it scraped off a large piece of bloody flesh.

Plus, some of them had the heads of various animals although they retained their human bodies.

None of the evil ghosts that had jumped over from the ghost plane have the appearance of a normal human being.

"I'm not sure if I can take it…" Zhao Hao whispered. He held his breath and slowly walked toward the economy-class cabin.

With the Cultivation Talents "Mahayana Holy Body" and "Born Arhat", Zhao Hao was not weak at the moment. It could be seen from how he crushed the female water ghost with his bare hands.

However, Zhao Hao did not have much battle experience, and he could not compare the strength of these ghosts to any of the beings he had fought in the simulation, so he was not sure if he could make it.

However, things had already come to this. Whether he could beat them or not, he had to fight.

He could never let these evil ghosts rush into the cockpit. If the pilot died, he would die for real, too.

He did not know how to fly a plane, and he would rather die from swallowing his ID card than fall from this height of more than 10,000 meters.

"Ah!!!" A piercing scream came from behind Zhao Hao. The stewardess who was so scared that she was sitting on the ground looked in the direction of the economy class and let out an extremely terrified voice.

She could see those evil ghosts, and she even saw the scene of the long-necked ghost sticking out its tongue to scrape off human flesh.

Zhao Hao did not turn around to look at the stewardess as her scream had alarmed all the evil ghosts.

When those evil ghosts saw Zhao Hao, they seemed to have discovered a rare delicacy and they crazily rushed toward Zhao Hao.

Even the long-necked ghost acted the same way. It stopped eating its food and rushed toward Zhao Hao.

Although Zhao Hao was terrified, he did not take a step back at all. Instead, he took a few quick steps toward the evil ghosts.

"Growl…" A tiger's roar came out from the evil ghost at the front. It was a ghost with a tiger head and a human body. Both of its hands had completely turned into claws. It opened its mouth and its two tiger claws pounced forward like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food.

Zhao Hao clenched his fists tightly. The power of his Mahayana Holy Body was fully unleashed. Under the effect of the talent "Born Arhat", there were faint Buddhist golden lights revolving around his fists.

He threw out a punch at an extremely fast speed.

[Ding! The Blue Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

"Boom!" Zhao Hao's punch hit the ferocious tiger ghost that was charging at the front in the chest. It sent the ghost flying more than ten meters away and crashing into a bunch of sprinting ghosts. Then, the ferocious tiger ghost exploded and turned into green smoke.

A battle broke out in an instant.

Zhao Hao's eyes lit up. Sure enough, supernatural beings could also provide Cultivation Talents. Thus, like a god of war, he directly charged into the crowd of evil ghosts.

Golden light flashed all over his body. With every punch that Zhao Hao threw, he instantly sent the evil ghosts that were hit flying and they exploded into smoke.

However, the attacks of those evil ghosts could only tear Zhao Hao's clothes.

When those claws that could pierce through anything stabbed Zhao Hao's body, it was as if they were stabbing a steel plate that could not be shaken.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao knew that there was nothing holding him back anymore. Since he did not know any fist skills, he could only swing his fists like crazy.

When he killed all the evil ghosts, Zhao Hao's clothes had been torn into pieces. There were only a few rags left for him to hide his private parts.

At this moment, the green gas that filled the cabin also started moving toward the ghost plane next to this plane.

The ghost plane seemed to have realized that Zhao Hao was not someone to be trifled with. It did not choose to continue fighting him head-on but to retreat instead.

"Phew… I'm done fighting…" Zhao Hao took a deep breath. He had really been scared out of his wits just now.

He really did not expect that these two talents alone would make him so powerful.

…

On the ground…

"Senior Colonel Bai, the strange creatures on the LH750 have all disappeared. The five survivors are still alive. I don't know what happened. The JK521 ghost plane has deviated from its course line. I think it's trying to leave…?" The soldier who was staring at the sensor reported to Bai Bing in shock.

"What?" Bai Bing blurted out as she was stunned. Not only Bai Bing, but all the members on the command vehicle were incredibly shocked.

Based on their years of experience dealing with strange creatures, no such creatures had ever let a human go.

Earlier, the sensor showed that there were dozens of strange creatures on the LH750. Some were strong and some were weak. The strongest had already reached level three. How could all of them disappear?

"Are you sure?" As the leader, Bai Bing quickly calmed down and asked the soldier.

"Y-Yes… Senior Colonel Bai, the ghost plane is moving fast. It's almost out of the shooting range." The soldier said anxiously.

"Forget it. Let's shoot the godd*mn ghost plane first. Aim at it." Bai Bing instantly came to realize that although she had some doubts now, the mission was still more important. She could not let the ghost plane get away again. It would kill at least dozens of people every time it appeared.

The moment Bai Bing gave the order, the missile launchers that had been waiting for a long time adjusted their positions and locked onto the ghost plane that was flying at a fast speed.

"Locked on. Please instruct." On the command vehicle, an officer dressed in military uniform saluted and said to Bai Bing.

"Fire." Bai Bing looked at the screen in front of her and gave the order immediately.

"Boom… Boom… Boom…"

The East F-35 special missiles were fired at once. They did not fire all fifty missiles as a mere ghost plane was only a level-four supernatural being and three East F-35 strategic missiles were enough.

"Whoosh… Whoosh…"

The three missiles headed straight for the ghost plane in the air while spewing out white and yellow smoke. Their speed was incomparably fast. In less than half a minute, they had arrived near the ghost plane and were about to hit it.

Chapter 12: Military Base

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The ghost plane seemed to have discovered the danger. It began to move around in the air, changing its position in an attempt to escape the bombardment of the missiles.

However, the East F-35 was a specialized missile for ghost tracking. Even if the ghost plane made itself invisible now, it would still be pointless.

"Boom…"

Three missiles hit the ghost plane at the same time.

After a loud explosion, the sky was filled with smoke and dust. There was no trace of the ghost plane on the supernatural sensors anymore.

"Senior Colonel, we've successfully destroyed the target with a perfect hit." The officer reported to Bai Bing.

"Good. Report to the squad immediately. Also, ask the passenger plane above if there's any pilot among the living people and whether they can land somewhere near." Bai Bing said in a serious tone as usual.

The sensors could only detect that the people above were still alive, but they could not determine their specific condition. If the five people above were in a coma or if none of the pilots survived, they would have to shoot down the passenger plane at a safe location. Otherwise, if the plane went out of control and crashed to the ground, it would cause intensive damage.

"Yes, Ma'am." The officers accepted the order in unison and hurriedly began their work.

…

On the passenger plane…

At this moment, Zhao Hao had already changed into a new set of clothes. As for where it came from, of course, it was the extra set of clothes prepared for any male passenger in need that the stewardess had got him. Zhao Hao would not want to put on the clothes of a dead person.

A stewardess and a backup pilot were gathering around Zhao Hao. Everyone already knew what had happened on the plane. The captain was constantly trying to connect to the tower, requesting to land nearby.

Other than that, there was nothing they could do. Not to mention that a lot of people had died on the plane, what they had seen and heard earlier was enough reason for the three captains not to fly any plane again in the future.

Fortunately, Bai Bing and the officers working under her were extremely efficient. Soon, they received the order for them to land at a civilian airport nearby.

Zhao Hao thought he was in trouble. The incident must have alerted the government. So many people had died, after all. Plus, there were cameras on the plane. What he had done just now would definitely be investigated.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao remained calm. Since he had already encountered ghosts twice, it proved that there were still many ghosts in this world. Moreover, he had been staring at the ghost plane and he had also seen the scene of the missiles destroying the ghost plane.

Judging from this, he concluded that the authorities knew about the existence of ghosts and had even developed a method to deal with them.

Then, it would be easy for him to explain his abilities. Zhao Hao had already come up with all kinds of explanations, such as what type of cultivation methods he had practiced or what type of special fruit he had eaten. Now the only thing he had to do was to wait for the plane to land.

Soon, the plane began to land slowly. The stewardess kept on talking to Zhao Hao all the way, but Zhao Hao did not pay any attention to her. Although he would rate the beauty of this stewardess as 85%, Zhao Hao thought he should not lower his taste since he was destined to become the Celestial Emperor of this generation.

The cabin door opened.

Sure enough, there were already over ten military vehicles on the ground. Not only did Zhao Hao see many military vehicles and tanks there, but he also saw the missiles.

Bai Bing, who appeared smart in military uniform, looked at Zhao Hao curiously.

Through the captain's report and the surveillance records on the passenger plane, Bai Bing already knew the reason why the ghost plane retreated.

"You guys take care of it. You, follow me." Bai Bing instructed her subordinates before pointing at Zhao Hao. Then, she turned around and walked toward a military vehicle.

Zhao Hao shrugged helplessly, but he still followed this beautiful woman who was obviously the leader.

As for the remaining air stewardess and the three captains, a professional staff walked to them with a device. First, he conducted body checks on them. Then, he tased them, and they passed out. Such a strange memory had to be erased. It could not cause panic in this world.

…

"Zhao Hao, you graduated from the Department of Chinese Language at Qingbei University. Your parents died when you were young, and you've lived on a subsidy. Although you hold a good degree, you don't want to work. So, you just stay home and enjoy being a geek. You like reading novels and playing games. It's really hard to believe that someone like you would be a superpowered person." Bai Bing said to Zhao Hao while driving.

"…" Zhao Hao was puzzled. However, when he heard the term "superpowered person", he immediately understood that there were people with special abilities in this world.

"When were your abilities awakened?" Bai Bing was not surprised by Zhao Hao. There were many members of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad who were just ordinary people but suddenly had their special abilities awakened.

The reason why Bai Bing dared to escort Zhao Hao by herself was that she was very confident in her own strength.

"Um… About three days ago…" Zhao Hao could only regard the day he obtained the Cultivation Simulator as the day his special ability was awakened.

"Three days ago? Did you know that most of the evil ghosts you killed were level-two supernatural beings, and one of them was a level-three long-necked ghost? You already have this kind of strength when your abilities have only been awakened for three days?" Bai Bing instantly failed to maintain her calm expression. It took at least a level-five superpowered person to effortlessly kill a large number of evil ghosts, including a level-three long-necked ghost.

Although Bai Bing was a level-six superpowered person herself, she was a small captain of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad, and she would probably become a big captain in the future. Even then, it took Bai Bing three years to become a level-six superpowered person.

"…"

Zhao Hao realized that he was in big trouble.

Judging from Bai Bing's reaction, apparently, a person whose abilities have just been awakened for three days would not have such strength.

So, Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "My body has been special since I was young. I was born with divine powers, and it has been growing ever since. It wasn't until three days ago that my body was able to emit a golden light."

Bai Bing only realized that she had lost her composure upon hearing what Zhao Hao said. Indeed, she could think of cases like his. For example, extraordinary physical abilities required a long time to be fully awakened, and once they were awakened, the superpowered person's strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, Bai Bing did not say anything again. Two hours later, Bai Bing brought Zhao Hao to a secret military base.

She brought Zhao Hao to an office.

"Stay here for a while. I need to report this to the higher-ups." After saying that, Bai Bing walked out of the office. She was not worried about Zhao Hao wandering around or running away at all.

Zhao Hao did not have any other options. However, he was sure that he would be safe. Moreover, Zhao Hao guessed that there was a high chance that he would be recruited and get a steady job without paying any cost.

[Ding! The Cultivation Talent Pane has reset.]

After receiving this system notification, Zhao Hao looked at the countdown on the light screen. Another 24 hours had passed.

He could now extract another Cultivation Talent. Since there was nothing else to do, Zhao Hao activated the Cultivation Simulator right away.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

Chapter 13: Bloody River Scripture

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Heaven Spiritual Roots", "Astrologist", "Heir of Asura", "Battle Master" …]

[Heaven Spiritual Roots (Gold Talent): Your comprehension ability increases by 150. Your speed of absorbing spiritual energy is extremely fast. Your speed of cultivating spells/magic doubles.]

[Astrologist (Purple Talent): Your intelligence increases by 30. You can determine certain things by looking at the stars in the sky.]

[Heir of Asura (Gold Talent): Your killing intent increases by 130. You have the inherent skill of the Asura Clan. The impact of the damage you cause to ghosts increases by 300%.]

Apparently, Zhao Hao's luck was not poor this time. He had gotten two Gold Talents, both of which were extremely useful Cultivation Talents. Even the Purple Talent "Astrologist" seemed to be quite good.

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang and found an untitled sword-fighting manual. After that, you snuck into the residence of the village head and found a manual on the "Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill". Then, you took out the manual on the inherent skill of the Asura Clan, the "Bloody River Scripture". You started practicing the skills in all the three secret manuals at the same time.]

[On the second day, you picked up all the skills in the three secret manuals at an extremely rapid speed, thanks to your extraordinary physique and the Heaven Spiritual Roots that only one in a million people would have.]

[On the third day, you continued practicing the three skills.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit attacked the village. You turned him and the Iron-Slashing Sword into blood with a single palm strike.]

…

[On the tenth day, your sword skills achieved sublimity. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", the sword-fighting technique you had learned automatically evolved into the "Arhat Demon Subjugation Sword-Fighting Technique". Your Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill reached perfection. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", it automatically evolved into the "Skills of the God Acala".]

[On the 11th day, you achieved a minor success in practicing the Bloody River Sutra. You became a cultivator who reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment.]

…

[On the 15th day, you continued to cultivate the Bloody River Scripture. You steadily made advanced progress, and you reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.]

[On the 16th day, you learned your lesson from before, so you were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, you kept cultivating and trying to enter a more advanced stage.]

…

[On the 21st day, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky. You finally broke through the bottleneck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. After going through the Thunder Tribulation, you reached the Core Formation stage.]

[On the 22nd day, you began to stabilize your Cultivation Base in a closed-door cultivation in the village.]

…

[On the 30th day, the sky was covered with dark clouds. You already sensed that there would be heavenly thunder if you still did not leave the village. You charged all the way into the mountain. Within a day, you killed all the evil ghosts and the dismembered body parts of the male corpse and destroyed all the Evil God temples. You finally went up to the top of the mountain, killed the Oink God, and obtained the Breath Concealing Technique.]

[On the 31st day, you practiced the Breath Concealing Technique at the top of the mountain. With your exceptional talents, you soon mastered it with great success. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", it evolved into the Heaven Shrouding Technique. Just as you were getting ready to leave the mountain to explore the Cultivation World, a golden eagle flew over from a distant horizon. A cultivator was standing on it. Only then did you realize that the cultivator was at the peak of the Core Formation stage. You fought with him, and he summoned three Evil Gods who were all at the Core Formation Stage. Under their siege, you died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 31 days. System Cooldown Time: 31 minutes.]

"F*ck, the cultivator turns out to be at the peak of the Core Formation stage. What's more, he has quite some pets that are at the Core Formation stage."

After reading everything, Zhao Hao let out a long sigh. He had thought that he had had a good beginning this time, especially considering that he had even cultivated to the Core Formation stage. However, he had not expected the cultivator he had met to be so powerful.

Even with the Mahayana Holy Body and many other talents, it seemed that he would not be able to defeat him without the Cultivation Base of the high-level Core Formation stage.

"If that's the case, I really don't have any good solution at the moment. Forget it, I'll just extract a useful Cultivation Talent first."

However, Zhao Hao felt a bit troubled when he started thinking about the extraction. Both the Gold Talents were quite useful. Whether it was the "Heaven Spiritual Roots" or the "Heir of Asura", both of them were extremely beneficial to cultivation.

After struggling for a while, Zhao Hao still selected the "Heir of Asura". The "Heir of Asura" came with its own cultivation skill, after all. It was relatively rare to come by a talent like this.

"System, extract the Cultivation Talent 'Heir of Asura'."

[Ding! The Cultivation Talent "Heir of Asura" has been extracted.]

After that, a scripture instantly appeared in Zhao Hao's mind, and his body began to emit an invisible aura. Anyone who had been on the battlefield would be able to tell at a glance that it was his killing intent.

"I can actually cultivate the Bloody River Scripture?" Zhao Hao was instantly overjoyed as he had not gotten any cultivation skills in the real world.

However, when Zhao Hao excitedly opened the Bloody River Scripture in his mind, he realized that without the Heaven Spiritual Roots and other powerful cultivation talents, he could not understand the Bloody River Scripture in his mind at all.

Although the talent "Born Arhat" had greatly boosted his strength, it mostly enhanced his abilities in learning Buddhist cultivation methods and had no effect on the Bloody River Scripture.

"Squeak." At this moment, Bai Bing opened the door and walked in again. She casually sat down opposite Zhao Hao and passed two documents to him.

"Then, let me show you this."

Zhao Hao looked at the woman in front of him who had changed into casual clothes and smacked his lips subconsciously. He gave her 95%. Too bad, if only her scores were a bit higher, he would then take some action.

Picking up the documents on the table, Zhao Hao started to read them.

There were two documents. One was a confidentiality agreement, and the other was an induction report.

After reading through the two documents, Zhao Hao's mind could not help but turn active.

Everything was as he had expected. The government was very generous towards those who had their special abilities awakened automatically.

Those who wanted to live a peaceful life could go home and live a normal life as long as they signed a confidentiality agreement, registered with the government, and guaranteed that they would not commit any crimes with their special abilities in the future and that they would report their whereabouts regularly.

Those who wanted to become stronger and obtain more benefits would, of course, have to join the Supernatural Special Forces Squad. Professional training and systematic information would be provided. Moreover, they would directly become an official government officer and could enjoy all sorts of benefits and welfare.

In Zhao Hao's case, it was not necessary for him to join the Supernatural Special Forces Squad to become stronger. He had an easier way to do that.

Furthermore, he had seven days left before he had to transmigrate into another world. It was still unknown whether he would be able to return to this world. So, there was no reason for him to join at all.

Hence, Zhao Hao soon picked up a pen and signed his name on the confidentiality agreement.

"Eh???" Bai Bing's eyes instantly widened. Clearly, Zhao Hao's actions had once again shocked her.

Chapter 14: On the Way to a Taoist Temple

Bai Bing was not prepared to see that Zhao Hao would agree to sign a confidentiality agreement.

She had met a few civilian superpowered people in the past. After she took out these two agreements, none of them chose to sign the confidentiality agreement and live a commoner's life.

Most of them wanted to become stronger and join the Supernatural Special Forces Squad.

Today, Zhao Hao had taught Bai Bing a good lesson.

"What? Can't I sign this?" Seeing Bai Bing's reaction, Zhao Hao asked with a puzzled look.

"…"

Bai Bing was silent for a while. Then, she took the two agreements away quickly and said as she walked out of the door, "Remember the clauses on the confidentiality agreement. Don't break the law. Otherwise, I will personally arrest you."

"???" Zhao Hao was very confused.

He suddenly thought of something, so he just asked, "When can I leave? I have something urgent to do."

The Cultivation Talent Pane had reset today, but he had not collected any Red Talents yet. If this was the reason why he could not get 10 Red Talents, Zhao Hao promised himself that he would definitely teach Bai Bing a lesson.

Fortunately, Bai Bing was not an unreasonable person. She turned her head and said to Zhao Hao, "I'll arrange for a chauffeur to send you. Just tell him where you want to go."

After saying that, Bai Bing left the office. Apparently, she was going to report Zhao Hao's decision to her superior.

Zhao Hao was speechless. However, it was of course a good thing that they would arrange a private car to send him. Otherwise, he might not be able to find his way home.

After Bai Bing left, the office returned to silence. Zhao Hao immediately wanted to turn on the simulator again, but he found that the cooldown time was not over yet.

So, he could only wait in silence.

A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

A soldier came in from outside. After asking, Zhao Hao found out that he was the driver who was supposed to send him back.

Sitting in a military vehicle again, Zhao Hao felt that everything happened too fast. He found it hard to understand why they had dealt with a superpowered person in such a simple way without even finding out what his superpower was.

In fact, Zhao Hao was not overthinking it. China had a huge territory and population. Although superpowered people were one in ten thousand, there would still be at least a hundred thousand of them throughout China.

Therefore, there was a whole set of rules for superpowered people. If Zhao Hao decided to join, he would either be in training or on a mission for the next six months.

However, if he chose to be a commoner and did not do any harm to the society, the government still respected his choice.

Besides, based on Zhao Hao's resume, he was an unambitious otaku. If such a person joined the organization, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause…

These were the reasons why it had been settled in such a short time.

"Hey, man. Where are you going?" The soldier/driver asked Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao did not know where this place was, but he did not ask for the location. After all, the location of the military base was definitely a secret.

So, he asked, "Is there any famous Taoist temple, Confucian Temple or martial temple nearby?"

Zhao Hao kept holding onto the fact that he had not captured a Red Talent today.

"Mm? There is one, actually. There's a mountain not far away called Mount Gexian, and there's a temple on the mountain. Legend has it that Iron-Crutch Li once washed his feet there, and there's still a huge footprint of his in the temple. Do you want to check it out?"

After hearing this, Zhao Hao's eyes lit up. Although Iron-Crutch Li was only one of the Eight Immortals in the Taoist pantheon, he was still a disciple of a saint and a disciple of the Ren Sect.

There should be some good cultivation talent on him, Zhao Hao thought. So, he quickly nodded and agreed, "Yeah, thanks for the trouble, little brother. Please take me to Mount Gexian."

The soldier was also an easy-going person. He drove the car right away and brought Zhao Hao to Mount Gexian.

…

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

Although the soldier said that Mount Gexian was very close, it would still take more than an hour to arrive.

Zhao Hao did not have time to chit-chat with the soldier. He pretended to be sleeping and quietly activated the Cultivation Simulator.

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Lucky Man", "Thunder Spiritual Roots", "Child of Wealth", …]

[Heir of Asura (Gold Talent): Your killing intent increases by 130. You have the inherent skill of the Asura Clan. The impact of the damage you cause to ghosts increases by 300%.]

[Lucky Man (Orange Talent): Your luck increases by 50. You are very lucky. You will often pick up treasures.]

[Thunder Spiritual Roots (Orange Talent): Your comprehension ability increases by 100. Your speed of absorbing spiritual energy is fast. Your speed of cultivating spells doubles.]

[Child of Wealth (Purple Talent): Your intelligence decreases by 30. You can obtain luck by giving away your wealth.]

With his real-life experience, Zhao Hao knew that he had to have a Cultivation Talent to help him understand the Bloody River Scripture. Otherwise, the cultivation of the Blood River Scripture would be extremely difficult.

Luckily, there was a talent "Thunder Spiritual Roots" in the Cultivation Talent Pane this time.

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you did not go and steal any cultivation manuals. Instead, you focused on cultivating the Bloody River Scripture at home.]

[On the second day, your cultivation speed was very fast as you had an extraordinary physique and the Thunder Spiritual Roots that was hard to come by even in a hundred thousand people.]

[On the third day, you continued cultivating it.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit attacked the village. You turned him into blood with a single palm strike, and you gave the Iron-Slashing Sword that you obtained from him to a kid by the roadside.]

[On the fifth day, when you were cultivating, you suddenly heard a knock on the door. When you opened the door, you saw that it was an old granny with the kid carrying the Iron-Slashing Sword that you had given to him. The old granny was one of the villagers of this village, Granny Sun. She gave you five medicinal pills and told you that they were Vitality Strengthening Pills that could increase your cultivation speed.]

[On the sixth day, you swallowed a Vitality Strengthening Pill and entered the Foundation Establishment stage.]

[On the seventh day, you swallowed the other four pills and entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment.]

…

[On the 11th day, you continued cultivating the Bloody River Scripture. You steadily made advanced progress, and you reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.]

[On the 12th day, you learned your lesson from before, so you were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, you kept cultivating and trying to enter a more advanced stage.]

…

[On the 15th day, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky. You finally broke through the bottleneck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. After going through the Thunder Tribulation, you reached the Core Formation stage.]

[On the 16th day, you began to stabilize your Cultivation Base in a closed-door cultivation in the village.]

…

[On the 21st day, you successfully mastered the Bloody River Scripture with great success and entered the middle stage of the Core Formation.]

[On the 22nd day, you were cultivating, and you suddenly sensed something. You flew into the depths of the mountain. In an abandoned Cave Estate, you found a high-grade magic sword.]

Chapter 15: Obtaining a Red Talent

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[On the 25th day, you had taken three days to refine the high-grade magic sword based on the explanation in the Cultivation Encyclopedia.]

[On the 26th day, you continued cultivating and stabilizing your Cultivation Base.]

…

[On the 30th day, your cultivation reached the late stage of the Core Formation. The sky was covered with dark clouds. You already sensed that there would be heavenly thunder if you still did not leave the village. You charged all the way into the mountain. Within a day, you killed all the evil ghosts and the dismembered body parts of the male corpse and destroyed all the Evil God temples. You finally went up to the top of the mountain, killed the Oink God, and obtained the Breath Concealing Technique.]

[On the 31st day, you practiced the Breath Concealing Technique at the top of the mountain. With your exceptional talents, you soon mastered it with great success. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", it evolved into the Heaven Shrouding Technique. Just as you were getting ready to leave the mountain to explore the Cultivation World, a golden eagle flew over from a distant horizon. A cultivator was standing on it. Only then did you realize that the cultivator was at the peak of the Core Formation stage. You fought with him, and he summoned three Evil Gods who were all at the Core Formation Stage. However, you killed all three of them one by one, and the cultivator eventually escaped after getting severely injured.]

[On the 32nd day, you finally walked out of the mountain. You felt that you were finally free to realize your full potential in this boundless cultivation world. You flew on your sword all the way until you arrived at a city, namely the Heavenly River City.]

[On the 33rd day, you found out that there were cultivation sects taking in disciples in the city. Since you had obtained the Heaven Shrouding Technique, you were not afraid of your physique getting exposed, so you chose to join the Noble Aspiration Sect.]

[On the 34th day, you intentionally revealed that you had reached the late stage of Core Formation as you wanted to join the Noble Aspiration Sect as a guest official. However, an Elder of the Noble Aspiration Sect thought that you must be a spy of some demonic sect. You fought with the Elder and killed him. However, you attracted the Lord of the Heavenly River City, and you died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 34 days. System Cooldown Time: 34 minutes.]

"…"

Zhao Hao was speechless.

The Cultivation World was too terrifying. All he had ever wanted was to join a sect and cultivate in peace. However, he was treated as a spy of some demonic sect. "I won't forget about this, Noble Aspiration Sect." Zhao Hao thought to himself.

He opened his notepad and took notes of the Noble Aspiration Sect and the Lord of the Heavenly River City.

"Whew…" Zhao Hao let out a deep breath and finally calmed down. Coincidentally, the car had just arrived at the foot of Mount Gexian.

"Thank you, little brother." Zhao Hao got up and thanked the soldier before he walked up Mount Gexian.

Mount Gexian had a history of over a thousand years.

It was noon, and many people were walking around. So, Zhao Hao would not lose his way since he just followed the main crowd and came to the front of the Gexian Temple.

Just like other ordinary temples, there were many stalls in front of the Gexian Temple.

[Ding! The White Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Blue Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The White Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

Along the way, Zhao Hao had also captured a lot of talents, but all of them were ordinary talents.

Finally, he followed the crowd and entered the Gexian Temple. In the middle of the temple, there was a magnificent hall. However, it was not the Gexian Hall, but the Taoist Trinity Hall.

Zhao Hao's eyes lit up immediately. He paid for the ticket and a few incense sticks before he walked in slowly. He could have chosen not to buy them, but Zhao Hao thought that he should still show some respect.

He walked through the door and saw that the entire Taoist Trinity Hall was very magnificent and luxurious.

Zhao Hao took the three incense sticks, lit them up, and stuck the incense sticks into the incense burner in front of the Taoist Trinity statue. He respectfully kowtowed three times to the statue.

Zhao Hao still respected Taoism very much.

[Ding! The Red Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

Zhao Hao was instantly overjoyed. He hurriedly kowtowed three more times to the Taoist Trinity statue to show his gratitude.

Only then did he get up and leave the Taoist Trinity Hall happily.

The old Zhao Hao would not have acted this way. However, since he had found out that there were ghosts and demons in this world, he had to be more careful.

Since there were ghosts and demons, if the Taoist Trinity really existed and he did not treat it with respect, wouldn't the consequences be dire then…?

Zhao Hao had successfully completed his plan for today since he had obtained a Red Talent.

He hurriedly went down the mountain and took a taxi to a hotel. After having a simple lunch, he began another simulation.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Reincarnated Hungry Ghost", "Idiot Swordsman", "Luck in Love", "Contemporary Sleeping Dragon"…]

[Heir of Asura (Gold Talent): Your killing intent increases by 130. You have the inherent skill of the Asura Clan. The impact of the damage you cause to ghosts increases by 300%.]

[Reincarnated Hungry Ghost (Purple Talent): Your physical qualities decrease by 50. The more you eat, the more power you gain."

[Luck in Love (Orange Talent): Your charm increases by 66. Your attractiveness to the opposite sex significantly increases. You will often meet all kinds of beautiful women.]

[Contemporary Sleeping Dragon (Gold Talent): Your comprehension ability and intelligence increase by 100. You are the smartest person in the world, and you are proficient in the Eight Trigrams.]

"It's a pity that no Red Cultivation Talent is available…" Zhao Hao sighed. Not only did he not get a Red Talent, but he did not even get a spiritual root. Luckily, with the talent "Contemporary Sleeping Dragon", his comprehension ability would increase by 100.

"Start the simulation immediately."

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you did not go and steal any cultivation manuals. Instead, you focused on cultivating the Bloody River Scripture at home.]

[On the second day, you had an extraordinary physique, but you could not endure your hunger anymore, so you snuck into the dwelling of Butcher Zhang and ate 20 chickens.]

[On the third day, Butcher Zhang took his pig slaughtering knife and searched the entire village for the chicken thief. However, he found no trace at all since you had already eaten all his chickens without even a hair left. You continued your cultivation.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit attacked the village. You turned him into blood with a single palm strike, and you gave the Iron-Slashing Sword that you obtained from him to a kid by the roadside.]

[On the sixth day, you swallowed a Vitality Strengthening Pill and entered the Foundation Establishment stage. However, you were extremely hungry, so you rushed into the dwelling of Butcher Zhang and ate 30 chickens. Butcher Zhang caught you red-handed and beat you to death on the spot. You died.]

Chapter 16: I Got Myself a Cultivation Partner

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: Six Days. System Cooldown Time: Six minutes.]

"WTF?!" Zhao Hao was dumbfounded. He had never thought that he would be killed for secretly eating dozens of chickens even though he was destined to become a Celestial Emperor in the future.

He took out his phone, opened the notepad, and typed the name of Butcher Zhang. He would definitely take his revenge sooner or later.

Then, Zhao Hao fell into deep thoughts. Judging from his past experience, Butcher Zhang and the old granny who had given him the medicinal pills were apparently no ordinary people. Butcher Zhang had killed him effortlessly, even though Zhao Hao had reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the time, and he had top-grade Cultivation Talents, in particular the Mahayana Holy Body. So, he was definitely no ordinary man.

As for Granny Sun, she had given him five Vitality Strengthening Pills at once. Apparently, neither was she an ordinary person.

"Could the village be full of powerful people…?" Zhao Hao said subconsciously.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Zhao Hao decided to look into them one by one next time.

Six minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

"Holy sh*t, there's a Red Talent…" Zhao Hao could not help but shout out loud. He sprang out of his big bed as a bright red light appeared in his eyes.

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Descendant of Taoist Trinity", "Child of Lady Luck", "Luck in Love" …]

[Heir of Asura (Gold Talent): Your killing intent increases by 130. You have the inherent skill of the Asura Clan. The impact of the damage you cause to ghosts increases by 300%.]

[Descendant of Taoist Trinity (Red Talent): All your attributes increase by 500. All the Spiritual Roots in your body are Heaven Spiritual Roots. You're an Orthodox Taoist with an inherent cultivation technique "Tao Te Ching". You can cultivate all Taoist Cultivation Methods.]

[Child of Lady Luck (Gold Talent): Your luck increases by 100. You have a great fortune. You can turn calamities into blessings and waste into treasure."

[Luck in Love (Orange Talent): Your charm increases by 66. Your attractiveness to the opposite sex significantly increases. You will often meet all kinds of beautiful women.]

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you did not steal any cultivation manuals and you did not cultivate the Bloody River Scripture. Instead, you focused on cultivating the Tao Te Ching at home.]

[On the second day, as the Descendant of Taoist Trinity, you made advanced progress rapidly, and you reached the Foundation Establishment stage in just a day.]

[On the third day, you continued your cultivation.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit attacked the village. You killed him with a single palm strike, and you gave the Iron-Slashing Sword that you obtained from him to a kid by the roadside.]

[On the sixth day, you swallowed all five Vitality Strengthening Pills and reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.]

…

[On the tenth day, you kept on cultivating the Tao Te Ching and entered the early stage of the Core Formation.]

[On the 11th day, you learned your lesson from before, so you were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, you kept cultivating and trying to enter a more advanced stage.]

…

[On the 15th day, you had a breakthrough again and reached the middle stage of the Core Formation.]

[On the 16th day, you began to stabilize your Cultivation Base in a closed-door cultivation in the village.]

…

[On the 20th day, you were cultivating, and you suddenly sensed something. You flew into the depths of the mountain and entered a mystic realm. You successfully obtained the inheritance of a Tribulation-Transcending-stage cultivator, a magical treasure "God-Binding Rope", and a ring with an attendant old grandpa in it.]

[On the 21st day, you reached the late stage of the Core Formation. The old grandpa wanted to impart his Heavenly Fire God-Burning Technique to you. You turned him down, claiming that you did not want to cultivate a useless technique. The old grandpa stopped talking to you, and you asked him to go back inside the right and calm himself down.]

…

[On the 25th day, you had another breakthrough and reached the peak of the Core Formation.]

[On the 26th day, you continued to cultivate, striving hard to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.]

…

[On the 30th day, as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, you successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and became a Great Cultivator. You inspected the people in the village, but you still could not identify the respective stage of their Cultivation Base. The sky was covered with dark clouds. You already sensed that there would be heavenly thunder if you still did not leave the village. You charged all the way into the mountain. Within a day, you killed all the evil ghosts and the dismembered body parts of the male corpse and destroyed all the Evil God temples. You finally went up to the top of the mountain, killed the Oink God, and obtained the Breath Concealing Technique.]

[On the 33rd day, you killed an Elder of the Noble Aspiration Sect. The Lord of the Heavenly River City saw that you were a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he did not intervene. You did not want to join a sect anymore. Instead, you wanted to be a Rogue Cultivator. Therefore, you left the Heavenly River City and began to explore the cultivation world.]

…

[On the 36th day, the Noble Aspiration Sect sent two Demigod-stage cultivators to hunt you down as you had killed an elder of their sect. You fled all the way to a forest.]

[On the 37th day, while you had been fleeing, you gained some enlightenment and successfully broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage. As you were extremely good-looking, a gentle and elegant woman walked up to you when you were cultivating under a waterfall. She introduced herself as Shuang'er, and she wanted to be your Cultivation Partner. You accepted her willingly.]

[On the 38th day, you accepted Shuang'er, and you two began dual cultivation that night. In order to make you stronger, she passed on all of her Cultivation Base to you. You had a successful breakthrough, and you entered the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. You swore to Shuang'er that you would never be apart from her.]

[On the 39th day, although Shuang'er passed on her Cultivation Base to you, she had been undergoing dual cultivation with you, so her Cultivation Base recovered and she quickly returned to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.]

[On the 40th day, you two continued your dual cultivation.]

…

[On the 45th day, you and your Cultivation Partner lived like Immortals. You two enjoyed a leisure lifestyle. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The two Demigod-stage cultivators from the Noble Aspiration Sect came looking for you. To protect Shuang'er, you fought with them and killed them one by one. However, you also hurt your foundation, and you were seriously injured.]

Chapter 17: Saint of the Joyous Union Sect

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[On the 46th day, you woke up with serious injuries. When you saw that Shuang'er was still by your side, you felt very grateful. However, at this time, Shuang'er told you that she was the Saint of the Joyous Union Sect and that she had taken the initiative to approach you because she had perceived your unique physique in the Heavenly River City. She had initially planned to bring you to the Demigod stage and then refine you. However, you had had a huge battle with two Demigod-stage cultivators and hurt your foundation, so she had no choice but to take action now.]

[On the 47th day, during the dual cultivation with Shuang'er, you dropped to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage and lost your talent "Child of Lady Luck".]

[On the 48th day, during the dual cultivation with Shuang'er, you dropped to the early stage of the Core Formation stage and lost your talents "Born Arhat" and "Mahayana Holy Body".]

[On the 49th day, during the dual cultivation with Shuang'er, you dropped to the Foundation Establishment stage and lost all your remaining talents.]

[On the 50th day, your dual cultivation with Shuang'er ended, and you were reduced to a mortal. Shuang'er did not kill you. Instead, she kept your looks in her memories before she turned around and left. You vaguely saw that Shuang'er seemed to have shed a tear.]

[On the 51st day, your foundation was completely destroyed, and your Cultivation Base was all gone. You had no strength left in your body, and you could not even end your own life. All you could do was lie there and wait to die.]

[On the 52nd day, you fell into a coma after not eating for many days. You died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 52 days. System Cooldown Time: 52 minutes.]

"F*ck, I'm going to kill her…" Zhao Hao sprang up in anger and subconsciously wanted to smash something.

It was a good thing that there was nothing next to the hotel bed, and Zhao Hao slowly calmed down.

When he became rational, Zhao Hao sat back on his bed again and felt very helpless.

It had been so rare for him to start the last simulation with such powerful Cultivation Talents. He had had three Red Talents and other incredible talents such as "Child of Lady Luck", and he had practiced an authentic Taoist Cultivation Method.

Everything had gone smoothly, except that he had met a demonic lady halfway on his path of cultivation.

He didn't know that he hadn't started his immortal cultivation business yet, but he had met a witch halfway.

"System, extract the Cultivation Talent 'Descendant of Taoist Trinity'."

[Ding! The Cultivation Talent "Descendant of Taoist Trinity" has been extracted. The Cultivation Talent "Heir of Asura" has been removed.]

"Shuang'er…" Zhao Hao opened the notepad and took notes of that name and the Joyous Union Sect.

Although he could see from the information at the end of the simulation that Shuang'er seemed to have feelings for him as well, Zhao Hao could never tolerate the fact that she had taken everything from him through dual cultivation.

"I'm holding this grudge…" Zhao Hao thought to himself.

After adjusting himself, Zhao Hao planned to run the simulation a few more times. Although he had already extracted a Red Talent today, he still needed to gather more information about the fantasy world.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you did not steal any cultivation manuals. Instead, you focused on cultivating the Tao Te Ching.]

…

[On the 33rd day, you concealed your aura and killed an Elder of the Noble Aspiration Sect. The Lord of the Heavenly River City saw that you were a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he did not intervene. You did not want to join a sect anymore. Instead, you wanted to be a Rogue Cultivator. Therefore, you left the Heavenly River City and began to explore the cultivation world.]

…

[On the 45th day, you came to a place called the "San Tong River". Here, you happened to see many people offering sacrifices to the River God. You went forward and saw that the offerings were 99 boys and girls. You were furious, and you wanted to save the children, but the villagers stopped you. You were about to unleash your skills, but a river demon that was at the peak of the Demigod stage suddenly sprang out of the river. Fortunately, you were not injured as you reacted quickly and escaped in time.]

…

[On the 49th day, you broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage.]

…

[On the 53rd day, you traveled the world and discovered many evil deeds. However, after being taught a lesson, you no longer acted righteously. You planned to cultivate to the Demigod stage before you tried to get rid of the demons and devils again."

…

[On the 59th day, you came to a big city that was full of cultivators, namely the Polar Extreme City. It was the main city of a major sect, the Polar Extreme Sect. Here, you rented a Cave Estate and began to cultivate in peace.]

…

[On the 69th day, you broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and you had spent all your money. You planned to go out and get some Spirit Stones. In a restaurant, you heard the discussions of the surrounding cultivators about the opening of a mystic realm nearby. You quickly asked for information and headed toward the mystic realm.]

[On the 70th day, you and many Rogue Cultivators arrived at the outer perimeter of the mystic realm. However, it was guarded by several other large sects, and no one was allowed to enter. You could only wait outside. During that time, you killed a few ignorant cultivators and obtained a small amount of Spirit Stones.]

…

[On the 75th day, a huge explosion occurred in the mystic realm. The entire mystic realm collapsed, and everyone quickly escaped. Only now did you know that it was the Cave Estate of a Tribulation-Transcending-stage cultivator. While you were trying to escape like everyone else, a huge palm slammed down on your head, and all the nearby cultivators died. You died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 75 days. System Cooldown Time: 75 minutes.]

Zhao Hao fell into deep thoughts.

The path of cultivation was extremely difficult. His journey had been full of all kinds of evil deeds and unfairness. If he made a move, he would die, and his cultivation would be gone in vain.

Even when he had turned a blind eye to all that for his survival, he had still become part of the collateral damage and been killed by a mighty figure with a single slap just because he had gone to a mystic realm.

Zhao Hao subconsciously thought that if he transmigrated into the Cultivation World without the Cultivation Simulator, he would not survive in the end even if he had 100 lives.

"Sigh…" He subconsciously let out a long sigh and turned on his phone to order takeout.

However, in an instant, Zhao Hao was stunned. A news alert appeared in front of his eyes.

"Today, the LH750 plane that was flying toward Mount Longhu suffered an air disaster. Only five people jumped out of the plane and survived."

Of course, Zhao Hao knew at a glance that this was the plane he was on, but he did not expect this to be the explanation provided by the government.

After thinking more about it, it made sense, though. After all, they have to keep it a secret from the public. This kind of information about ghosts was definitely not something that could be reported.

After ordering the takeout, Zhao Hao was going to turn on his computer to find out where else he could obtain Red Cultivation Talents.

He received a phone call.

Chapter 18: Sealing a Large Formation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The call came from an unknown number. Zhao Hao glanced at it before picking it up.

"Hello?" A very familiar female voice came from the microphone.

"Hello, Zhao Hao, you're near Mount Gexian now, aren't you? We have some problems over here and we don't have enough manpower. Can you help us? Just tell me the address, and I'll go and pick you up." The female voice was Bai Bing, who had just parted with him not long ago this morning. Her voice sounded a little anxious.

Zhao Hao was confused. If he remembered correctly, he had signed a confidentiality agreement. Why did she still need his help?

However, considering that he had not transmigrated yet and still had to collect Red Talents in the next few days, he should not go against the government. So, Zhao Hao still told her the name of the hotel he was staying at.

Then, the call was immediately hung up.

Zhao Hao felt that something wrong must have happened, so he put on his clothes. Just then, his phone rang again. He walked out of the hotel and saw Bai Bing waiting for him in the military car.

With no hesitation, Zhao Hao sat in the passenger seat.

"Ma'am, I'm just a civilian. What do you need my help for?" Zhao Hao sounded really dissatisfied. He had just signed a confidentiality agreement that allowed him to be a commoner, but now they were asking him to help out with a mission.

Bai Bing looked a little awkward, but she still tried to stay calm and said to Zhao Hao, "There's some big trouble over there. I really don't have enough manpower on my side. That's why I thought of you. Alright, sit tight."

Once she said that she started driving the military car at an insane speed. Zhao Hao felt like he was sitting in a race car.

"Uh… Ma'am, you should at least tell me what I'm going to do first." Zhao Hao said to Bai Bing in a helpless tone. Up until now, he still did not know what mission he was going to be a part of.

Bai Bing explained to Zhao Hao as she drove, "There's a Dragon-Defying River at the foot of Mount Gexian. In the river, there's a large array that imprisons the spirits of the war criminals who died here over a hundred years ago. To begin with, those spirits were all bloodthirsty, and they have turned into all sorts of supernatural beings. However, they were sealed in the Dragon-Defying River by the Celestial Master of Mount Gexian back then."

As she said this, Bai Bing paused for a moment, and a voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Calling Senior Colonel Bai. Calling Senior Colonel Bai. The Taoist priests in Mount Gexian said that the formation will be broken in half an hour at most. Should we call for reinforcements from the headquarters? Should we call for reinforcements from the headquarters?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Bing instantly pulled a long face. She picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, "Send the soldiers of the nearby military region over. We can't call the headquarters. If we ask for reinforcements from the headquarters, this place will be razed to the ground."

"Roger. Roger." A voice came from the walkie-talkie, and Bai Bing's expression became slightly better.

"So, the formation won't be able to contain the supernatural beings inside the river for long?" Zhao Hao looked serious as well. He had never thought that he would encounter such a huge problem while traveling and looking for talents here.

Bai Bing continued, "That's right. The formation of the Dragon-Defying River was supposed to be fine, but earlier, a Rank 7 Japanese Yin-yang Master snuck into Mount Gexian and broke through the opening of the formation. Although the Yin-yang Master died, the entire formation began to break. You heard it just now. It will be broken in another half an hour." Bai Bing felt very helpless about this situation, too. The evil spirits under the Dragon-Defying River were very difficult to deal with.

"What level are those evil spirits? How different are they from the ones I encountered on the plane?" Zhao Hao still needed to find out the strength of his opponents. If they were too strong, he would not court death.

"Our special forces have been paying attention to them. According to the instruments, there are over 100,000 of them. Most of them are level two and level three, similar to the ones you killed. However, a small number of them have already evolved. The strongest one has already reached level eight."

Zhao Hao was ready to jump out of the car.

There was no way he could take this job. Although he had three great talents "Mahayana Holy Body", "Born Arhat", and "Descendant of Taoist Trinity", there was no way he could deal with level 8 supernatural beings.

"Uh… May I ask what level the strongest ghost that I killed on the plane was?" Zhao Hao asked with a hopeful heart.

"Level Three…" Bai Bing answered honestly.

"Clack." Zhao Hao suddenly opened the door of the military car, and he was ready to jump out of the car.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" Right then, multiple threads tied Zhao Hao to the car seat, and the door of the military car was also closed by the threads.

A faint white light radiated from Bai Bing's body.

"Stop wasting your time. I'm a level-six superpowered person, so I'm more than capable of tying you up. In times of crisis, all superpowered people must step up as soon as necessary. Even if you sign a confidentiality agreement, you can't back down." Bai Bing said in a very serious tone. In fact, neither did she have any other choice. Time was running out, and not many people were there. That was why she remembered that she had found Zhao Hao today.

Zhao Hao had also calmed down now. Putting aside whether he was afraid of death or not, it seemed that he could not beat Bai Bing alone.

He struggled to break free from the threads on his body, but he found that he could not break free at all. So, Zhao Hao gave up on the idea of escaping and looked helplessly at Bai Bing who was driving.

"You don't say. This woman is quite hot when she looks cold. Her original score was 95%, but now it could be raised to 98%." Zhao Hao thought to himself.

However, Bai Bing felt extremely uncomfortable when Zhao Hao looked at her. She glanced at Zhao Hao and said to him, "You don't have to think that I'm sending you to death. I've already mobilized the artillery troops of the nearby military region. Once the formation breaks open later, there will be 10,000 cannons firing first. Then, there will be the Lightning Techniques of the Taoist priests from Mount Gexian, Mount Longhu, and Mount Wuyi. We'll only deal with the remaining supernatural beings."

After hearing Bai Bing's explanation, Zhao Hao finally relaxed.

It turned out that he was only doing the job of cleaning up the battlefield. This was not a problem for him. He could also take the opportunity to collect more Cultivation Talents.

"Uh… Is the strongest combat strength on our side Level Eight?" Zhao Hao asked the most critical question.

"Level Seven…" Bai Bing replied.

…

After 20 minutes of high-speed driving, the military car finally arrived by the Dragon-Defying River.

Zhao Hao hurriedly got off the car and looked around. He found that the area within a radius of over 10 kilometers had been cleared out. There were soldiers guarding all corners. This area had been completely sealed off.

When he saw the thousands of cannon barrels neatly placed by the river, Zhao Hao finally relaxed. That woman was not lying. As expected, they had to deal a physical blow first.

Bai Bing did not bother with Zhao Hao and walked straight up to four purple-robed priests and a handsome man in military uniform.

"How's the preparation? Are you confident?" Bai Bing asked them.

"Bingbing, don't worry. The four priests are all at Level Seven. Plus, there are you and me. We'll have no problem dealing with that level-eight supernatural being. How could those little demons withstand our ten thousand cannons?"

Chapter 19: Level-Eight Supernatural Being

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hearing the assurance from the man in military uniform, Bai Bing felt slightly relieved. After all, such an incident was indeed a huge problem. If they did not handle it properly and let those 100,000 supernatural beings escape, it would be a huge disaster.

"Rumble…" Right then, the calm river erupted. At the center of the river, a strange vortex appeared on the surface. The vortex became bigger and bigger as it spun, and it seemed like it was about to create a gap in the river.

Everyone on the riverbank entered a tense state. They were all ready for the battle.

Zhao Hao walked to the side of a group of members wearing the uniforms of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad with a surprised expression and asked a little fatty wearing a cap, "Brother, when do we attack?"

The little fatty was startled by the voice that suddenly appeared next to him. He turned to look at Zhao Hao and said impatiently, "You're new, right? Watch us later. After we finish shooting, we'll jump into the river and kill the supernatural beings."

Hearing this, Zhao Hao reached out his head to look at the river down there.

Although a great volume of the water had been swallowed by the vortex, the water was at least two to three meters deep. How could they go down and fight the supernatural beings?

"Eh? We'll jump into the water and fight them?" Zhao Hao asked the little fatty with doubt.

The little fatty turned the direction of his cap and looked at Zhao Hao with disdain before saying, "If you can't fly, you can only go into the river to kill the supernatural beings."

Zhao Hao was very speechless. He looked at the Dragon-Defying River that was dozens of meters wide and held himself back from asking, "Can't we just drain the water first…"

As a northerner, Zhao Hao could not swim at all. If he jumped into the river, it would be impossible for him to kill the supernatural beings. Moreover, he would have to trouble the others to save him…

Fortunately, Zhao Hao was planning to be a bystander mostly and help them out just a little.

At this moment, the sun disappeared on the horizon, and night fell.

In an instant, there came a strong wind and faint howls of a lone wolf. The sky above the Dragon-Defying River was covered with a huge black cloud.

At the center of the river where the vortex was, a Yin-yang Tai Chi diagram appeared. However, there was already a big hole in the diagram.

The big hole was continuously shattering, and the entire diagram started to shatter like a glass with cracks in a spiderweb pattern.

A voice came out of the walkie-talkies.

"Get ready to fire…"

"Swoosh— Swoosh— Swoosh—"

In an instant, thousands of cannons aimed at the Yin-yang Tai Chi diagram.

"Rumble…"

A thunderous sound came from the sky, and the Yin-yang Eight Trigrams cracked.

All of a sudden, ghost energy spread across the entire river. Countless evil spirits rushed out of the Yin-yang Eight Trigrams ferociously, rushing towards the riverbanks.

"Fire!" A cold female voice came out as Bai Bing gave the final order to fire.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In an instant, thousands of cannons were shot together, and the closely located cannonballs all hit the huge Yin-yang Eight Trigrams.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Explosions occurred one after another, and the water surface that had just calmed down was totally blown up. Over a thousand specially processed cannonballs could not only cause extremely serious damage to supernatural beings. Even the water of the Dragon-Defying River was blasted into the sky.

After a wave of cannonballs attack, the entire surface level of the Dragon-Defying River dropped by more than ten meters.

It was not because the water was blasted into the air, but because the entire ground was blasted into a deep pit of more than ten meters.

"All deities, please protect me. Protect my body. Protect my soul. Protect my spirit."

Just then, the four priests in purple robes flew right on top of the Yin-yang Eight Trigrams.

Each of them invoked a spell, pleading with the Twelve Deities to protect them.

Then, the four priests kept chanting the mantra together, and endless thunders kept coming down from the sky. The mantra was an authentic Taoist spell, the "Nine Heavenly Thunder Curse".

"Boom! Boom! Boom…!"

The surface of the river went up and down again. It had just gone through a round of cannonball attacks, and now there were attacks of lightning and thunder.

Lightning surrounded the entire Dragon-Defying River, lighting up the already dark surroundings as if it was daylight.

On the Dragon-Defying River, there were all kinds of dead fish floating. The fish that had gotten lucky and survived the cannonballs could not escape their fate under the dense net of lightning, after all. Eventually, all of them turned upside down.

The lightning struck the surface of the river for ten minutes.

The four Taoists in purple robes flew back to Bai Bing's side. Everyone turned their eyes to the center of the Dragon-Defying River.

After two waves of full-scale attacks, it was believed that most of the supernatural beings in the river had been killed or injured.

"Senior Colonel Bai, not good. According to the sensors, there are still more than 10,000 supernatural beings in the river…" The soldier who had been staring at the detectors shouted at Bai Bing.

"What?" Bai Bing's eyes widened instantly. She had thought that there might be dozens or hundreds of supernatural beings that could survive such high firepower. She had never expected that there would be tens of thousands of them left.

Turning around to look at the dozens of superpowered persons she had brought with her, Bai Bing gritted her teeth tightly.

The soldiers who were responsible for firing the cannons had already begun to retreat. Ordinary soldiers could not deal any damage to supernatural beings. It was better for the professionals to deal with them.

The ghostly figures had already rushed out of the river one by one. Bai Bing had no other choice but to place her hopes on her team members to withstand it. They could only deal with the small demons after they worked together to kill the level-eight supernatural being first.

"Swoosh…" Ghost Energy soared into the sky.

A bald 'man' dressed in Japanese clothing rushed out of the river and ran towards the horizon.

As a level-eight supernatural being, it had already recovered all of its intelligence. It knew that it was not a good time to fight with these people. After all, he had just broken through the seal and had not fully recovered his strength. Plus, this place was the turf of the opponents. So, of course, it had to run.

However, Bai Bing and the others had already prepared for this. When the Bald Man reached mid-air, a huge net brought him back. That was the legacy magic treasure of Mount Longhu, the "Inescapable Net".

In order to prevent any supernatural being from running away, the Inescapable Net had long been set up here.

The four Taoists in purple robes, Bai Bing, and the man in military uniform also made their moves instantly, charging toward the bald man in mid-air.

…

By the side of the Dragon-Defying River, Zhao Hao was ready to curse. Did they not say that there would be at most a few dozen evil spirits left? What was going on with the crowd of evil spirits in front of him?

Also, since they had already become ghosts, how could they still fire their guns? And by the way, what was the deal with those mortars?

Just as he thought of this…

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of mortars launched bombs, shattering the location where Zhao Hao and the others gathered.

Zhao Hao and the others were all superpowered people, so they easily dodged all of them.

However, the fact that the supernatural beings had such a properly devised battle method gave all the superpowered people a headache.

"Whatever. A mere supernatural being as low-leveled as level-eight can't stop me," The little fatty who had been talking to Zhao Hao said to the others.

Chapter 20: Tao Te Ching

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The little fatty immediately began to do a horse stance. He took a deep breath and then adjusted his direction, aiming at the location with the most supernatural beings.

"Growl…" A huge roar came out of the little fatty's mouth. Even though Zhao Hao's physique was extraordinary, he could feel a piercing pain in his eardrums.

A visible sound wave shook the river and blasted into the group of supernatural beings.

"Bang. Bang. Bang."

A series of explosions came out. Dozens of level-one and level-two supernatural beings were blasted apart by the sound wave. The group of supernatural beings had gathered closely, but now a gap in between them was blasted open by the little fatty's Roar.

"Charge."

Without anyone's command, all the members of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad flew out and charged toward the tens of thousands of supernatural beings.

Some of them grew wings on their backs and soared into the sky, while others stood on their magic swords, looking elegant and graceful.

In a short while, only Zhao Hao and the little fatty with a cap were left on the bank of the river.

Zhao Hao felt that he should do something as well. He walked over to the little fatty and asked, "Uh, aren't you going to fight?"

As he said this, Zhao Hao looked at the battlefield ahead. Every member of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad began to display their might. Although some seemed sorry for being slapped by high-level supernatural beings into the Dragon-Defying River, Zhao Hao had to admit that they were all very brave since not a single one of them retreated.

"Hmph, I'm not like you. Watch carefully." The little fatty did not show Zhao Hao a good look. He knew that this man in front of him had not joined their supernatural squad but had signed a confidentiality agreement.

After saying that, the little fatty took off his cap right away. Only then did Zhao Hao realize that this fatty was actually bald.

"Vajra Body." With a loud shout, the little fatty's body completely turned golden, as if a layer of gold plated all over his body. Just as he was about to charge into the crowd of supernatural beings, he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Hao and directly grabbed his shoulder with one hand.

"Oh, right. Don't just watch. I've seen the video of you fighting the ghost plane. Hurry up and get to work."

After saying that, the little fatty exerted more strength with his arm. Zhao Hao directly flew toward the crowd of supernatural beings like a cannonball.

"F*ck, d*mn baldy, I don't know how to swim…"

However, by the time Zhao Hao said that it was already too late. At this moment, he was already about to fly to the center of the group of supernatural things.

Looking around, Zhao Hao found that there was no river water at the center of the vortex. Instead, the ground appeared through the vortex.

Therefore, just as he was about to fall into the water, Zhao Hao sprung up like a carp, and he arrived at the center of the vortex.

Before Zhao Hao had time to react, groups of ghost soldiers suddenly pounced on Zhao Hao and pressed him under their bodies, instantly forming a mountain of ghosts.

"F*ck."

Zhao Hao would love to kill the Baldy, but he had no time to settle the score with him as the ghosts closest to him were already opening their mouths and his body.

Although Zhao Hao's physique was very strong and these ghosts could not break through his defense at all, Zhao Hao could not stand being bitten by a bunch of ghosts all over his body.

However, Zhao Hao did not know any cultivation techniques at all right now. On the ghost plane, he did not think about his defense at all. He just swung his fists with all his might and killed the ghosts with his fists.

However, various ghosts were pressing Zhao Hao now, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him. He couldn't move at all, nor could he swing his fists.

It was impossible to wait for reinforcements. Zhao Hao had already seen that all the superpowered persons in the army were either directly thrown into the river or brutally killed by high-level supernatural beings.

Even the little fatty, whose body was glowing with golden light, was being pestered by three high-level supernatural beings. The long knives slashed at the little fatty's body, causing sparks to fly.

"What should I do? What should I do?" This was the first time Zhao Hao was in a crisis since he had obtained the Cultivation Simulator, and he seemed to be in a bit of a panic.

Suddenly, Zhao Hao's vision became blurry. His spiritual altar instantly became clear, and a book that was emitting a green light appeared in Zhao Hao's mind. It was "Tao Te Ching".

It came with the Red Cultivation Talent that Zhao Hao had obtained earlier, the "Descendant of Taoist Trinity". As Bai Bing had hurriedly dragged him over, he had forgotten to look at it.

Zhao Hao began to slowly turn the pages of the Tao Te Ching and absorbed all the information.

A few seconds later, Zhao Hao had completely mastered the cultivation method of the Tao Te Ching.

Zhao Hao's eyes instantly regained their vigor.

"I've picked it up so fast? I remember when I learned the Bloody River Scripture…"

Initially, he had some doubts, but Zhao Hao suddenly thought of the Heaven Spiritual Roots that came with the talent "Descendant of Taoist Trinity" and he realized that his comprehension ability had probably reached an incredible level.

With the cultivation method, he had a way to deal with the current crisis.

He began to think.

This Tao Te Ching of his was very different from the widely circulated one. It also included many spells and divine abilities. It could be said to be a complete collection of Taoist Cultivation Methods.

Very quickly, Zhao Hao thought of a spell "The Lofty and Sublime Book of the Limitless Salvation of Mankind", "Salvation of Mankind Scripture" in short.

By chanting this spell, one could exorcise tens of thousands of ghosts at night.

"The life of mankind is bleak. The path to immortality is boundless. The realm of ghosts is full of guilty pleasures.

A human has to walk a safe path to survive. An Immortal has to cherish lives and help others in better ways. A ghost has to think about how to earn a good ending.

Cultivators are usually blessed with good fortune, and ghosts are usually cursed with evil.

So, those with high morals are naturally quiet and peaceful. They have a beautiful and not a sorrowful soul."

…

The moment he thought of this spell, Zhao Hao opened his mouth and began to chant.

Mysterious Taoist patterns flew out of Zhao Hao's mouth, and the ghosts that were pressing on his body were instantly sent flying by a beam of green light.

The Taoist patterns turned into chains that spread from Zhao Hao's body and kept flying in all directions.

Regardless of their levels, those supernatural beings were immobilized by the chains when the chains hit them as if they were bound under a spell.

In just the time of a few breaths, the tens of thousands of supernatural beings who were about to wipe out the Supernatural Special Forces Squad were all captured by the chains. The creepy aura around their bodies was completely sealed, making them look like ordinary ghosts.

All the superpowered people who were fighting turned their eyes to the place where the chains gathered. Zhao Hao had stopped chanting the scripture.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hao was pulling the chains in his hands.

"Amitabha, what the h*ll? Is he a pro who pretended to be a noob?" The little fatty was stunned. He remembered that he was the one who threw Zhao Hao into the group of supernatural beings.

Although he had known that Zhao Hao had a strong physique and would definitely not be injured, now that Zhao Hao had become a pro, his actions were no different from courting death.

Looking at the tens of thousands of bound ghosts, little fatty felt that he should run away.

"Boom…"

Then, another explosion came out from the sky above the Dragon-Defying River, and three figures fell from the sky.

Chapter 21: Level-Eight Supernatural Twins

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Catch the three Taoist priests quickly." Bai Bing's voice came from the sky.

All the superpowered people flew out and caught the three falling figures. They were the three Taoist priests in purple robes.

"Taoist Priest Qingxu, how are you feeling? Please don't spurt any blood."

The little fatty carried a Taoist priest in a purple robe and shook him.

Zhao Hao watched the Taoist priest who would not have to spurt any blood pass out after being forcefully shaken by the little fatty.

"Hahaha, who are you guys to take me down?"

A burst of wild laughter came from the sky, and then two figures came down. They were Bai Bing and the male officer.

Zhao Hao frowned.

The current situation was still very dangerous. Although he had captured more than 10,000 supernatural beings with the "Salvation of Mankind Scripture", the strongest level-eight supernatural being was still up there.

Now, on his side, the strongest few were already heavily injured and had no more strength to fight against the level-eight supernatural being.

"Bai Bing, let's retreat." The young male officer said to Bai Bing. One of his arms had been torn off, and his entire body was covered in blood.

"No, we can't leave yet. If we retreat, we'll have to take back the Inescapable Net. If this supernatural being escapes at the time, it'll definitely be a disaster. So, we might as well go all out to fight it. The headquarters will definitely send reinforcements over, and when the time comes, it'll be the death of this being."

Although Bai Bing was also seriously injured, she did not sound weak at all. Instead, there was a kind of heroism in her tone.

In an instant, the look in the eyes of all the surviving superpowered people became resolute.

As superpowered people, especially those who joined the Supernatural Special Forces Squad, they all had received the most complete education. They knew better that it was not easy to maintain a peaceful society, and they had long made up their minds to die for their country.

Even though the situation was bad, the remaining people still had an incredible aura.

"Morons… Your men are dead…"

The level-eight supernatural being in the sky had long recovered the intelligence of a human. It had been able to kill a few of his opponents, but it had not made a move.

Only by severely injuring them, he could see a look of despair on these people and watch them die in pain, fear, and hopelessness. That was what he wanted to see the most.

There was another reason. It saw that Zhao Hao easily captured tens of thousands of evil spirits with his unknown chain technique. Even a level-eight supernatural being like him had to be on guard against it.

However, when he saw that the group of people became determined to fight until they died despite their despair, instead of being dominated by fear. This high-and-mighty level-eight supernatural being found it hard to accept this.

So, he decided to ignore Zhao Hao's unknown means and slashed open his stomach. A ferocious ghost head flew out from its stomach and flew towards Zhao Hao and the others.

"D*mn it, it's actually a pair of ghost twins, and both of them are at the level eight." The officer in the military uniform with a broken arm gritted his teeth and said.

A pair of ghost twins was a combination of two ghosts. In the form of a ghost, it could unleash a power that was greater than the powers of the two combined.

With the powers of two level-eight supernatural beings combined, even if they did not have the level-nine battle strength, they were considered invincible among the level-eight ghosts.

"I was wondering why we could not even beat a level-eight ghost that just broke through the seal. It turns out to be a pair of ghost twins. It seems like fate."

Even Bai Bing's eyes wavered. Facing the invincible level-eight ghost twins, Bai Bing knew that they had no chance of surviving.

The ferocious ghost head pulled a long green line as it flew towards them. Just as Bai Bing and the others closed their eyes and prepared to die…

"The good paths are difficult at first, but one will realize the wisdom behind choosing such paths as he walks further."

An aged but righteous voice came out afar from the sky.

In an instant, the entire Dragon-Defying River flew into the sky, turned into a water dragon, and swallowed the ferocious ghost head.

"Ah—"

The level-eight ghost in the air let out a painful howl.

In that instant, its level-eight ghost twin that had always lived with it died.

After swallowing the big-headed ghost, the water dragon made a sharp turn in the air and rushed toward the level-eight ghost.

The level-eight ghost was scared out of its wits. However, the moment it raised its head, it realized that the Inescapable Net had disappeared.

It was overjoyed and immediately flew into the distance on its ghost mist.

"Hmph, how could I let a mere little ghost like you escape in front of my eyes?"

A cold voice came out as a red-robed elder appeared right in front of the level-eight supernatural being. He waved his sleeve and put the level-eight supernatural being back into his Taoist robe in an instant.

After everything was done, the red-robed Elder flashed and appeared in front of Zhao Hao and the others.

"Greetings, Senior." Bai Bing led everyone to quickly bow to this unfamiliar Senior.

"That's unnecessary. So, it was you who chanted the Salvation of Mankind Scripture just now?"

The red-robed Elder waved his hand, and Zhao Hao flew right next to the Elder.

"Uh… That's right…" Zhao Hao wanted to deny it at first, but when he saw the chains in his hands, he had no choice but to admit it.

"That's just what I thought. I've been having a Closed-Door Meditation at Mount Longhu for more than three hundred years. Today, I suddenly heard someone chanting the Salvation of Mankind Scripture that had been lost for a thousand years. That's why I rushed over. Little kid, where did you get it?"

The red-robed elder grabbed Zhao Hao and his eyes widened. It was as if he would never give up until Zhao Hao gave a clear explanation.

"…" Zhao Hao was speechless.

Then, a shooting star streaked across the sky and instantly landed not far from Zhao Hao and the others.

It did not cause any explosion. Someone slowly walked over.

"I came here in a hurry. Are you guys done fighting?"

The person who came was wearing ancient armor and a steel helmet on his head. Judging by his appearance, he looked like a handsome middle-aged man in his forties.

"Greetings, Captain."

…

Bai Bing and the others addressed him respectfully.

The newcomer was the Chief Captain of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad and a superpowered man who was at the peak of level nine, Ma Qiusheng.

Of course, the red-robed old man noticed Ma Qiusheng too. He looked him up and down for a while and said, "Mm? Your strength is not bad, is it?"

Ma Qiusheng noticed the red-robed elder the moment he landed. However, as he could not identify his strength, he did not act rashly.

"I'm Ma Qiusheng. May I ask who you are?" Ma Zhuisheng cupped his fists and bowed in an ancient manner before speaking to the red-robed Elder.

"Hmph. I'm Zhang Tongxuan, the 23rd generation Celestial Master of Mount Longhu." The red-robed Elder said very casually.

Ma Qiusheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that.

He knew about the current generation Celestial Master of Mount Longhu. He also knew that this Celestial Master held the position of a guest official of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad. However, Ma Qiusheng knew that the current generation Celestial Master was the 26th generation Celestial Master of Mount Longhu.

Based on how a Celestial Master lived for over a hundred years, he could guess that the old man in front of him was three to four hundred years old.

Chapter 22: Level-Ten Expert

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The huge crisis came to an end with the arrival of Ma Qiusheng and Zhang Tongxuan.

Bai Bing hurriedly went to command the soldiers and started cleaning up the battlefield.

As for Zhao Hao, he had a helpless look on his face, as Zhang Tongxuan's hand was still holding onto his.

"Thank you for your help, Senior. May I know what level you are at now?"

Ma Qusheng's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhang Tongxuan in front of him. He was the strongest person in the Supernatural Special Forces Squad, and based on all the existing information in the world, the strongest human was only at level nine.

Of course, there were supernatural beings beyond level nine. Back then in Africa, there had been a level-ten supernatural pharaoh who almost controlled the entire Africa. However, he had been killed by several level-nine experts in the end.

The 23rd Generation Celestial Master of Mount Longhu in front of him was so powerful that even he could not identify his level, so of course, Ma Qiusheng asked him about this.

"Level?" Zhang Tongxuan was stunned at first, but then he counted with his fingers. Only then did he come to a realization. Then, he said to Ma Qiusheng, "Based on how you guys categorize your levels now, I should be at level ten."

After saying that, Zhang Tongxuan waved his sleeve, and the level-eight supernatural being that he had put into his sleeve was thrown in front of Ma Qiusheng.

Zhang Tong Xuan said, "I've sealed its ghost energy, so it's no different from an ordinary spirit now. Just bring it back and report your duty."

Ma Qiusheng quickly went forward to capture the level-eight supernatural being. He only saw Zhao Hao holding a metal chain that tied up over ten thousand supernatural beings when he turned around.

"Eh? Senior, who is this?" Seeing that Zhang Tongxuan had been holding Zhao Hao's hand all this time, Ma Qiusheng thought that they were somehow related, so he asked respectfully.

"Captain Bai took him here to help out at the last minute. His special physical abilities had just been awakened not long ago, but he chose to sign a confidentiality agreement. Captain Bai called him over because of the tense situation just now." The little fatty who had thrown Zhao Hao into the water just now stepped forward and said to Ma Qiusheng.

"Oh, I see. Dezhu, how did you mess with your Buddhist powers? Did a bunch of little ghosts break your Vajra Body?" Ma Qiusheng looked at the little fatty and asked him with confusion.

The little fatty's real name was Zhao Dezhu. He was a level-five superpowered man who also practiced Buddhist Cultivation Methods, and he was the vice-captain of Bai Bing's team.

Hearing Ma Qiusheng's question, Zhao Dezhu's chubby face turned red. He was a bit careless earlier, indeed. His Vajra Body was only broken by an evil ghost who sneakily attacked his weak point.

Otherwise, he would not have been beaten up so badly even if he confronted a level-six supernatural being.

"Leader, I'm passing the chains to you, then. Since the issue here has been settled, I'm off." Zhao Hao saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he could not go back with the chains in his hand, so he immediately said to Ma Qiusheng and handed him the chain to Ma Qiusheng.

"Well, the issue has been settled. I'll go back then. Goodbye." Zhang Tongxuan saw that Zhao Hao handed over the chain, he then immediately bowed to Ma Qiusheng and the others.

After saying that, he immediately flew up and headed toward Mount Longhu.

"Taoist priest, Taoist priest. You can go back as you wish, but please let go of my hand…" Zhao Hao's figure flew with Zhang Tongxuan toward Mount Longhu. Obviously, the 23rd Generation Celestial Master of Mount Longhu was very interested in Zhao Hao.

Seeing that Zhang Tongxuan and Zhao Hao had disappeared into the horizon, Ma Qiusheng looked joyful.

Now that there were more and more supernatural beings, the sudden appearance of a level-ten expert was extremely exciting no matter in which country.

Bai Bing had already led the soldiers to clean up the Dragon-Defying River. She walked over and said to Ma Qiusheng, "Captain, why did you let that old Taoist priest take him away?"

Bai Bing was the one who brought Zhao Hao here, so she certainly had a problem with him being taken away just like that.

"The old Taoist priest is a level-ten expert. If he wanted to take that kid away, how could I not let him?"

Ma Qiusheng could do nothing about it. During his free time, he had already found out all about Zhao Hao, including his performance on the ghost plane, signing a confidentiality agreement, showing his mighty power, and capturing over a thousand supernatural beings earlier.

He was a suitable member of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad. However, Zhang Tongxuan clearly had his eyes on that kid, which was why Ma Qiusheng did not say anything.

"But…" Bai Bing seemed to be a little anxious, but she did not know what to say at the time.

"Alright, that kid's life isn't in danger. Just call him later, and you'll know. Let's call it a day."

Ma Qiusheng took out a cloth bag carved with scriptures and put the tens of thousands of supernatural beings that had been tied up straightaway right into the cloth bag.

"Captain, what should we do with these supernatural beings? Their evil energies have been sealed. Should we send them to reincarnation?" Bai Bing asked curiously.

"Reincarnation? That would be too easy for them. We don't know much about supernatural beings yet. There's always a lack of research materials in this area as it's too difficult to catch them alive. Now that we finally have tens of thousands of test subjects, how can we let them go?"

Ma Qiusheng looked at the bag in his hand, and an evil smile appeared on his face. Then, he led the members of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad and left the Dragon-Defying River…

…

Mount Longhu

In the forbidden area at the back of the mountain

Zhang Tongxuan and Zhao Hao came inside a Cave Estate.

Zhao Hao's head spun, and he even felt like vomiting.

The flying speed was too fast, so his brain was severely deprived of oxygen…

"You have quite a good physique, kid. How did you cultivate it?"

Zhang Tongxuan finally let go of Zhao Hao's hand, but then he patted Zhao Hao's shoulder. He was extremely curious about Zhao Hao's strong physique.

"Senior, I was born with such a physique. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first…"

After Zhao Hao recovered, he immediately took his leave. The Taoist priest in front of him had lived for hundreds of years, so Zhao Hao was very scared of him.

He had been using the Cultivation Simulator for days, and he knew that the righteous and evil factions were all the same. When they found out that he had a unique physique, they would try to possess his body.

He felt that this was especially true for the Taoist priest in front of him. He had lived for hundreds of years, and perhaps his lifespan was about to come to an end. Zhao Hao already suspected that he was going to die soon.

"Kid, you don't have to be afraid. I brought you here just because I wanted to ask you, where did you get that Salvation of Mankind Scripture?"

Zhang Tongxuan had no intention to scare Zhao Hao, so he told him his purpose directly.

There were only a few records of the Salvation of Mankind Scripture in the Taoist canon, but it had been lost. Now that it came out of Zhao Hao's mouth, of course, the priest wanted to know the truth.

"Uh…" Zhao Hao was speechless. After all, he could not say that he had obtained the talent "Descendant of Taoist Trinity" and the Salvation of Mankind Scripture was just one of the divine skills recorded in it.

"Mm? Do you not trust me, little kid?" When Zhang Tongxuan saw that Zhao Hao looked hesitant, he was instantly displeased. How did he look like a bad person at all?

"No, the Salvation of Mankind Scripture popped up in my mind when I went to the Taoist Trinity Hall to offer incense that day."

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Hao still changed the story and said to Zhang Tongxuan.

Chapter 23: The Patriarch's Statue Is Shattered

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You said that the Salvation of Mankind Scripture appeared in your mind after you offered incense at the Taoist Trinity Hall?" Zhang Tongxuan asked in shock. He had only heard of this kind of thing in folktales.

"Yes, yes. That's what happened." Zhao Hao had already decided that the story of him paying respects to the Taoist Trinity and obtaining the inheritance was his explanation for how he had obtained the scripture.

Zhang Tongxuan was very suspicious. Then, he waved his finger, and a stream of Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth instantly entered Zhao Hao's body.

Before Zhao Hao could react, three lotus flowers instantly bloomed on top of his head. One was white, one was yellow, and one was green. Five spiritual energies were rising above the three flowers, and streaks of Taoist patterns were floating around him.

"T-This is…" Zhang Tongxuan's eyes were wide open as if he could not believe what he was seeing.

"Three flowers gather on top of your head, the spiritual energies from your five internal organs are rising toward your head, and Taoist patterns surround your body. You have an inborn Taoist physique…"

Zhang Tongxuan could not help but feel shocked by the scene before his eyes. He had sent the stream of spiritual energy into Zhao Hao's body just to see how Zhao Hao's physique was in terms of practicing Taoism.

He had not expected that Zhao Hao would possess an inborn Taoist physique as described in legends.

A normal Taoist practitioner would only become a Golden-Immortals-stage expert Taoist practitioner when they had gathered the three flowers on top of their head and converged the spiritual energies from their five internal organs in their chest. However, it would take countless years to reach this stage, and there was also an age limit for that.

Whereas it would not be that difficult for a person with an inborn Taoist physique to achieve that. As long as he focused on his practice, it would not take long for him to reach the Golden Immortals stage in Taoist practice.

Zhao Hao was stunned. When he saw the strange phenomenon on his body, he already felt that he would not live for long.

Anyone who saw such a talent would have eyes on his body.

"Senior… Senior… What are you doing?"

Although he knew that he was in danger, Zhao Hao forced himself to calm down and asked Zhang Tongxuan.

"It's okay. You don't have to be nervous. I found that you have an extraordinary physique. I'm wondering if you would like to be my disciple and practice Taoism?" Zhang Tongxuan kept his shocked expression in check and said to Zhao Hao in a kindly manner.

"You want to be my Master?"

When Zhao Hao heard this, he was overjoyed. It turned out that this Taoist priest only did that out of his appreciation of Zhao Hao's talent and wanted to take in Zhao Hao as his disciple. So, Zhao Hao wanted to do an act of worship to him as etiquette to accept the Taoist priest as his master right away.

However, Zhang Tongxuan immediately stopped his actions.

"There's such a rule here. Just follow me to pay your respects to the Patriarch, then serve me a cup of tea, and it'll be enough."

After saying this, he brought Zhao Hao with me and flew out of the Cave Estate. Then, they arrived in front of a large hall.

It was late at night, and there were only two Taoist priests guarding the entire hall. The moment Zhang Tongxuan arrived, the two Taoist priests fell asleep together.

Zhao Hao followed Zhang Tongxuan into the hall.

The hall was magnificently decorated. There was a stone statue in the middle. Apparently, it was an antique that had been passed down for God-knows-how-many years.

"This is the founder of the Mount Longhu Sect, the first-generation Celestial Master, and also my ancestor. Hurry and pay your respects. After you pay your respects, you'll be considered my disciple." Zhang Tongxuan said to Zhao Hao solemnly.

Zhao Hao did not dare to take this lightly. He picked up three incense sticks and lit them up. Then, he walked up to the stone statue and inserted them into the incense burner.

[Ding! The Gold Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

Zhao Hao's eyes immediately lit up. He had not expected that a Gold Cultivation Talent could be captured from the first-generation Celestial Master of Mount Longhu.

However, just as Zhao Hao was about to kneel down and kowtow, the stone statue of the founder of Mount Longhu, which had been standing there quietly for more than thousands of years, began to shake violently.

"Eh?" Zhang Tongxuan's eyes narrowed. He looked around and found that there was no earthquake. He began to move forward, trying to find out why it was happening.

However, Zhao Hao did not stop. When Zhao Hao knelt down on the futon in front of the stone statue.

"Crack—"

A crisp sound came out. The statue of the Patriarch of Mount Longhu that had been passed down for thousands of years suddenly began to crack. Cracks spread across its entire body like a spider web.

"Not good."

Zhang Tongxuan's eyes widened. He wanted to step forward and stop the stone statue from cracking, but it was too late.

"Boom…"

There was an explosion, and the entire Patriarch's Hall was filled with smoke and dust.

The Patriarch's statue, which had been passed down for countless years, actually exploded upon Zhao Hao's worship.

It was only now that Zhao Hao remembered that his third talent seemed to be the "Descendant of Taoist Trinity". Then, his seniority level in Taoism should be very high.

No wonder the Patriarch of Mount Longhu could not take his act of worship in front of the statue.

Sure enough, the huge explosion alarmed many Taoist priests on Mount Longhu, and their auras could be sensed as they quickly rushed over.

Before Zhao Hao could react, he had been taken away by a stream of light. In the next instant, he had already returned to the Cave Estate in the forbidden area.

At this moment, Zhao Hao and Zhang Tongxuan were both covered in dust. However, neither of them had the time to clean up themselves.

The face of Zhang Tongxuan was deathly pale as the statue of his ancestor had exploded just like that. He looked at Zhao Hao with a shocked and bewildered expression.

The statue would not have exploded for no reason. This kid in front of him must be the reason.

Zhao Hao's mind was also full of thoughts. Great, now he did not have a master anymore, and he had even broken the statue of his ancestor. How could he possibly still keep his life then?

"Who… exactly are you?" Zhang Tongxuan was silent for a moment, but he still asked the question he wanted to ask the most. How could an ordinary person shatter his ancestor's statue into pieces simply by an act of worship?

"Uh… When I obtained the Salvation of Mankind Scripture, I think I also got to know that I'm a descendant of the Taoist Trinity…"

Zhao Hao felt that it was better to reveal one of his talents, or else he really had no way to explain it.

"???"

Zhang Tongxuan was stunned. How could he not know what those words "descendant of the Taoist Trinity" meant?

At first, he was in disbelief, but as he thought of Zhao Hao's inborn Taoist physique, he began to have doubts.

"You stay here for a while. I'm going out and get some air…" Zhang Tongxuan did not know what to do. After saying that to Zhao Hao, he disappeared into the Cave Estate.

"Phew…" Seeing Zhang Tongxuan leave, Zhao Hao heaved a long sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Zhang Tongxuan would kill him with a slap. After all, he had shattered the statue of his ancestor.

Zhao Hao finally felt relieved, but he also felt a little tired. He had been through too much that night.

He had thought that life in the cultivation world as it was always full of danger. He had not expected that it was the same in the real world.

"If I run out now, I probably wouldn't be able to run away…"

Zhao Hao started contemplating his chances of escaping. Based on the information he had collected, he was on Mount Longhu, and the old Taoist priest was the 23rd-generation Celestial Master of Mount Longhu. Considering these facts and the terrifying strength of the old Taoist priest, it was undoubtedly more difficult to escape than to reach for the stars.

"Eh, I'd better wait for the cat to jump…"

In the end, Zhao Hao chose to give up on running away. His philosophy is that if he could not fight against something, he would just quietly enjoy it.

Lying on the wooden bed in the Cave Estate, Zhao Hao did not feel sleepy. So, he just activated the Cultivation Simulator.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

Chapter 24: Reaching the Moral Enlightenment Stage in 100 Days

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Jinx", "Drifter", "Combatant" …]

[Jinx (Orange Talent): Your luck decreases by 50. You are exceptionally unlucky, but you will not die easily.]

[Drifter (Purple Talent): Your strength increases by 30. All your attributes increase by 10% when you when go solo.]

[Combatant (Purple Talent): Your physical qualities increase by 30. You may rouse the soul of a combatant in close combat, making your physical qualities double.]

[On the first day, you did not steal any cultivation manuals. Instead, you focused on cultivating the Tao Te Ching.]

…

[On the 33rd day, you concealed your aura and killed an Elder of the Noble Aspiration Sect. The Lord of the Heavenly River City saw that you were a Nascent-Soul-stage cultivator, so he did not intervene. You did not want to join a sect anymore. Instead, you wanted to be a Rogue Cultivator. Therefore, you left the Heavenly River City and began to explore the cultivation world.]

…

[On the 37th day, you came to a big city that was full of cultivators, namely the Extreme Abyss City. It was the home city of a major sect, the Extreme Abyss Sect. Here, you rented a Cave Estate and began to cultivate in peace.]

…

[On the 45th day, you broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and you used up all your spirit stones, so you planned to go out and get some spirit stones.]

[On the 46th day, with your Cultivation Base being at the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, you broke into more than ten small cultivation sects in a row and obtained a large number of spirit stones. People started calling you "Spirit Stone Robber".]

[On the 47th day, you returned to Extreme Abyss City. You planned to practice closed-door cultivation to break through to the Demigod stage before doing other things. You stumbled upon the news that an auction would be held in three days. You decided to go and see it as you had never seen an auction before.]

…

[On the 50th day, the auction started in Extreme Abyss City. You attended the auction, and a Spirit Fox灵狐 was dragged out. Its entire body was covered in mud, except that its eyes were clean and clear. On a whim, you spent 500 high-grade spirit stones to buy it. In the middle of the night, the Spirit Fox that you had bought with a large sum transformed into a human and fed you a Heaven Mending Pill by force. After that, it disappeared, and you entered the Demigod stage.]

[On the 51st day, you left Extreme Abyss City and strolled along a river. You accidentally dropped the storage bag hanging on your waist into the river. Suddenly, the surface of the river glowed with colorful lights. Through the colorful lights in the river, a fairy with a lotus flower on her head appeared and said to you, "Did you drop a storage bag?" You replied, "Yes. If you picked it up, give it back to me." However, the fairy said, "Did you drop this gold storage bag, this silver storage bag, or this ordinary storage bag?" You replied, "They are all mine." The fairy said angrily, "What a greedy man." After saying that, she went back into the river. You were furious, so you used a few explosive spells on the river. The fairy came out to fight you. You won and got the fairy, which was the River God, as your pet.]

[On the 52nd day, you heard from the River God that there was a mystic realm hidden in the mountains not far away. You could enter it through a waterway. You thought of what had happened in the mystic realm previously. There were still more than ten days before its real opening, so you decided to go there to take a look first.]

[On the 53rd day, you came to the entrance of the mystic realm through the water passage and found that there was a big formation blocking your way. The River God wanted to kill you with a trap, but you saw through it. You killed the River God and entered the mystic realm successfully with what you had learned about formations from Tao Te Ching. Instead of searching for treasures in the outer area of the mystic realm, you chose to walk right into the depths of the mystic realm. Deep in the mystic realm, there was a stone tablet. Only then did you know that this mystic realm was called the Qiankun Mystic Realm. It was the legacy land left behind by Elder Qiankun乾坤老人 who had transcended the tribulation and ascended to Heaven.]

[On the 54th day, you passed the three tests left behind by Elder Qiankun with your superb skills. You obtained a Tribulation-Transcending-stage Fire Seed, the secret skill "Qiankun Great Shift", and a large number of spirit stones. You left the mystic realm and returned to the Cave Estate in Extreme Abyss City to continue your closed-door cultivation.]

[On the 55th day, you stopped paying attention to the outside world and began to concentrate on processing what you had gained and improving your cultivation.]

…

[On the 59th day, you reached the middle stage of the Demigod stage.]

…

[On the 78th day, you reached the late stage of the Demigod stage.]

…

[On the 89th day, you reached the peak of the Demigod stage.]

…

[On the 100th day, you refined the Tribulation-Transcending-stage Fire Seed and use it for a breakthrough. Over ten thousand thunders struck down, as you successfully advanced to the Moral Enlightenment stage. However, the Thunder Tribulation destroyed more than half of Extreme Abyss City. The Grand Elder of the Extreme Abyss Sect personally attacked and killed you with one punch. You died."

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[This Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 100 days. System Cooldown Time: 100 minutes.]

Zhao Hao looked at the information on the light screen in front of him and fell into deep thoughts.

After the Demigod stage was the Moral Enlightenment stage, after the Moral Enlightenment stage was the Synthesis stage, and after the Synthesis stage was the Tribulation Transcending stage. There was a Tribulation-Transcending-stage Fire Seed in the mystic realm, which could greatly increase the cultivation speed. Therefore, he definitely had to go and get it in every future simulation.

He opened the notepad on his phone and started taking notes.

"There was a Spirit Fox at the auction in Extreme Abyss City. If I successfully bid for it, I could obtain a Heaven Mending Pill afterward. In the river next to Extreme Abyss City, there was a River God. Through the River God, I could find a waterway and enter the Qiankun Mystic Realm." Zhao Hao took notes of the information one by one.

"The next time I break through to the Moral Enlightenment stage, I must find a place where there are no people. Also, Grand Elder of the Extreme Abyss Sect, how dare you kill me? I'll settle the score with you sooner or later."

After sorting out all the information, Zhao Hao felt a bit tired. He looked around, but the old Taoist priest had not returned yet. So, he just lay on the wooden bed and fell asleep…

Chapter 25: Learning the Golden Light Mantra

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhao Hao slept soundly in the Cave Estate. On the other hand, the entire Mount Longhu was in chaos.

The statue of their Patriarch, which had been passed down for thousands of years, had exploded for no reason. This was not a trivial matter. The milder way to explain this incident would be that their Patriach had made his presence felt because his descendants had been unfilial. Whereas, the serious way to explain it would be that the entire Mount Longhu had gone against the original intention of the Patriarch when he had founded the sect, so he had destroyed his own statue out of fury and refused to protect them anymore.

The current Celestial Master of Mount Longhu and many elders were all gathered in the Patriarch's Hall.

Although the Patriarch's Hall had been badly damaged by the explosion, they all respectfully knelt before the Patriarch's statue and begged for the Patriarch's forgiveness.

There were gods and ghosts in this world. The Patriarch's statue of Mount Longhu had been passed down for thousands of years, so how could it possibly be an ordinary object?

It was precisely because of this Patriarch's statue that Mount Longhu held the leading status in Taoism in the entire country.

Putting everything else aside, as long as this Patriarch's statue was erected on Mount Longhu, so many supernatural beings would not dare to get even half a step closer to Mount Longhu.

Even the level-ten Pharaoh King in Africa had been smart enough not to provoke Mount Longhu back then. Otherwise, they could have easily killed him with this Patriarch's statue.

Therefore, no one would think that such a terrifying statue had been damaged by any human. They would only think that it had happened because of the fury of the Patriarch at his unfilial descendants.

"Ugh…"

A soft groan came from the side of the stone statue. The current Celestial Master of Mount Longhu and the elders all looked over. It was the red-robed Taoist, Zhang Tongxuan.

"Who Are You? How dare you barge into the Patriarch's Hall of Mount Longhu?"

"Where are you from, Taoist priest? How dare you not show your respect to Mount Longhu?"

"Was it you who caused our Patriarch's statue to shatter???"

The elders of Mount Longhu were all furious. Many of them were prepared to chant their mantras and attack Zhang Tongxuan.

"Stop it."

At that moment, the current Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Zhiwei, stopped the elders and said respectfully to Zhang Tongxuan, "Ancestor, why did you come out of your closed-door cultivation? Could it be that you came out in shock because of the shattered statue?"

As the current Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, of course he knew that this was his ancestor whose cultivation was unrivaled and who had been cultivating inside closed doors in the forbidden area of the mountain in the back. Zhang Zhiwei thought that his ancestor had also been alarmed by the shattered statue.

"Mm-hmm, that's right. I also sensed something strange, so I came here to take a look. You all don't have to blame yourself. After all, the statue is a dead object. Don't spread the news, and quickly get someone to build another one that looks the same as the original. Otherwise, if this gets out, our reputation will be damaged, and we can't afford that." Zhang Tongxuan said without batting an eyelid.

The elders immediately understood. They hurriedly went to look for the craftsmen to build a new statue.

After the elders had left, Zhang Tongxuan came to Zhang Zhiwei's side and said softly through voice transmission.

"There's a young man in my Cave Estate who has an inborn Taoist physique. You take him out tomorrow. Don't even think of taking him in as a disciple. Take him to the Scripture Depository and let him study as he pleases. If he wants to leave, don't stop him. It's good enough to form some good karma."

Zhang Zhiwei's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he did not ask any more questions.

He believed that his ancestor had his reasons for making such an arrangement. Although Zhang Zhiwei was the current Celestial Master, he knew very well that this ancestor of his would not have any problem dealing with someone with ten times Zhang Zhiwei's strength.

After Zhang Tongxuan finished speaking, he said nothing more. With a flash, he disappeared in front of Zhang Zhiwei.

…

The next morning, the sky was bright.

Zhao Hao woke up from his deep sleep. He looked around and found that the old priest had not come back. There was nothing to eat in the Cave Estate, so Zhao Hao walked out of the cave.

Coincidentally, an old Taoist priest and a woman were walking outside toward the Cave Estate.

"Eh? Bai Bing? Why are you here?"

The woman was Bai Bing, the junior captain of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad. After dealing with the supernatural incident last night, she had rushed to Mount Longhu to confirm Zhao Hao's safety.

After all, Zhao Hao was not obliged to help, and it was her who had forced him to do so, and he had also been a great help in dealing with the spirits.

Seeing that Zhao Hao had been captured by Zhang Tongxuan, Bai Bing had also been very worried.

"Nothing. I just came to see how you're doing. You did a great job last night, so we have a reward for you." Seeing that Zhao Hao was fine, Bai Bing said excitedly.

"There's a reward? What reward? Could it be cultivation resources?" Zhao Hao also said excitedly.

"Uh… A certificate and 500 yuan of cash…"

"…" Zhao Hao was speechless.

…

Inside the Scripture Depository on Mount Longhu.

Zhao Hao and Bai Bing came here together. With the order of the Celestial Master, Zhang Zhiwei, they walked all the way to the inner area of the Scripture Depository without any obstruction.

Since Zhang Zhiwei told them to feel free to study anything, the two of them were not restricted in any way. They walked past the bookshelves and looked at the Taoist classics one after another.

"Mystic Immortals Guiding Technique, Zhengyang Inner Core Technique, Five Thunder Mantra Technique, Yin-yang Five Phases Taoist Technique, Golden Light Mantra, Celestial Masters' Complete Collection of Pills and Cauldrons…" Looking at these extremely precious Taoist classics, Bai Bing could not help but let out an exclamation.

Mount Longhu was the number one Taoist sect in the world. Even the government could not have access to any of these precious classics. All these cultivation techniques were extremely precious no matter in which era.

Zhao Hao, on the other hand, did not care at all. He just casually walked past the bookshelves.

Every time Zhao Hao looked at a manual, the Tao Te Ching in his mind would automatically turn the pages and find something similar to that manual, and that part of its contents would definitely be better than the manuals on Mount Longhu.

After walking past everything in the Scripture Depository of Mount Longhu, there were only two secret manuals in the entire depository that the Tao Te Ching did not react to and were not included in the Tao Te Ching.

Holding the two manuals in his hands, Zhao Hao looked at them carefully.

One was called the "Celestial Master Record". It was a manual passed down by generations of Celestial Masters on Mount Longhu. Only Celestial Masters were qualified to study it.

Zhao Hao was not interested in it at all. He did not even care about the position of a mere Celestial Master. Ever since he had reached the Moral Enlightenment stage in 100 days last night, Zhao Hao's state of mind seemed to have improved a lot. He would be transmigrating in six days, so everything in the real world was no longer that important to him.

On the other hand, Zhao Hao was very interested in the second manual, the "Golden Light Mantra".

It was similar to a defensive spell, but it also had an extremely strong offensive power. Combined with Zhao Hao's Mahayana Holy Body, once he picked it up, Zhao Hao's strength would probably increase tremendously.

With no hesitation, he immediately opened the manual "Golden Light Mantra" and began to learn.

As the "Descendant of Taoist Trinity", all the spiritual roots in his body were Heaven Spiritual Roots, so he could learn all the Taoist Cultivation Methods in the world. Zhao Hao had already picked up the Golden Light Mantra after reading it once.

He slowly circulated the spiritual energy in his body. Instantly, a faint golden light appeared on Zhao Hao's body, enveloping his entire body.

"No way. You've picked it up after reading it once???" Bai Bing had been staring at Zhao Hao the entire time. Although Bai Bing was very envious, Mount Longhu did not allow her to learn everything she wishes. Besides, her special ability was different from the Taoist methods, so she did not care too much about it.

Instead, what she cared about was how Zhao Hao managed to pick up a Taoist technique after taking a look at it. Such a powerful talent was so unreal to Bai Bing.

Chapter 26: Cultivating Tao Te Ching

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After successfully mastering the Golden Light Mantra, Zhao Hao lost all his interest in the Scripture Depository of Mount Longhu.

After asking the current Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Zhiwei, if he could leave, he got his approval and left Mount Longhu happily in Bai Bing's private car.

After all, he had shattered their Patriarch's statue last night. Zhao Hao was really afraid that the old Taoist priest would not be able to hold himself back from killing him with a snap.

On the other hand, when Zhao Hao was leaving, Zhang Zhiwei looked at his back and felt really puzzled. He really could not figure out why this kid only learned the Golden Light Mantra in the entire collection on Mount Longhu before leaving.

…

"Zhao Hao, do you want to join our squad? You're very strong, so you should contribute more to our country." Bai Bing said to Zhao Hao as she drove.

Zhao Hao's performance last night had been too eye-catching. His ability to subdue tens of thousands of supernatural being and his powerful physique had undoubtedly proved that Zhao Hao was a very powerful superpowered person.

However, since his level as a superpowered person had not been assessed, so they did not know how exactly strong he was yet.

"Uh… It's not impossible for me to join you, but you have to give me a week. I still need to take care of some things. It's very urgent." Zhao Hao knew that ever since he had revealed his abilities last night, the government would definitely think of ways to get him to join.

Instead of letting them bother him again and again in the future, he might as well agree first. After all, he still had six days before he transmigrated. He had no problem with doing whatever as long as no one would disturb his collection of Red Cultivation Talents in these six days.

Hearing Zhao Hao's reply, Bai Bing was definitely overjoyed. She had thought that it would take a lot of effort to get Zhao Hao to join the Supernatural Special Forces Squad. She had not expected that Zhao Hao would agree to it after she had only mentioned it once, much less that he did not ask for anything in return.

Usually, even the government would have to provide a highly powerful superpowered person with a great deal of benefits to get them to join the squad. However, Zhao Hao only asked for a week to settle some personal matters.

It was very reasonable. After all, once he joined the supernatural squad, nobody knew what he would face in the future. It was totally okay for them to deal with their personal matters first.

"Alright, you have my phone number. If you need any help, feel free to give me a call. I'll pick you up in seven days and bring you to the headquarters of our supernatural squad." Bai Bing gave him a sweet smile. Obviously, she was very satisfied with Zhao Hao's attitude.

"Okay. Please send me to the hotel. I need a good rest." Zhao Hao just nodded and closed his eyes to rest. In fact, Zhao Hao suddenly thought that since he could pick up the Golden Light Mantra in this world, it meant that he could cultivate the Tao Te Ching in this world too.

He had not been able to learn the Bloody River Scripture previously only because he did not have certain cultivation talents. Now that he had extracted the Descendant of Taoist Trinity and the other two Red Cultivation Talents, he did not have to wait any further.

Therefore, Zhao Hao just sat in the car seat and began to flip through the Tao Te Ching in his mind. It was different from last time when he tried to study the Bloody River Scripture. At that time, he could not understand anything at all. Now when Zhao Hao turned to the cultivation chapter in Tao Te Ching, the Taoist patterns seemed to come to live. They kept flying and spinning in Zhao Hao's mind.

…

Soon, Bai Bing drove the car to a star-rated hotel near Mount Longhu. She gave Zhao Hao a card, saying that his subsidy was in it, and then left in a carefree manner.

She was not worried at all that Zhao Hao would go back on his word or that he would not join the supernatural squad when the time came.

As long as Zhao Hao was still alive then and as long as he was still in the country, Bai Bing was confident that she could find him, no matter where he was.

Zhao Hao did not think too much about it. He quickly opened the room and entered. After locking the door, he sat cross-legged on the floor.

There was nothing else he could do. At this moment, Zhao Hao's blood was surging, and his spiritual energy was stirred. If he still did not control it, even he himself did not know what would happen.

Zhao Hao sat cross-legged on the floor. His mind automatically circulated the Tao Te Ching. The surging spiritual energy in his body also gradually calmed down and began to circulate through his entire body.

"Boom…" A booming sound rang in his mind. The spiritual energy in Zhao Hao's body erupted. In that instant, he entered the first stage of cultivation, the Qi Cultivation stage.

However, that was not all.

Zhao Hao, who sat cross-legged on the floor, continued to rapidly circulate the Tao Te Ching.

The spiritual energy in the world outside Zhao Hao's body began to rush into his body like crazy.

Although the spiritual energy in the current world was relatively thin, under the powerful effect of the Tao Te Ching, Zhao Hao absorbing was still all the spiritual energy in the vicinity like a whale swallowing its preys.

On Mount Longhu, Zhang Tongxuan had not yet returned to his Cave Estate. Instead, he was in the deepest part of the forbidden land, looking at a crooked jujube tree.

This jujube tree was very strange. Its entire branch had completely withered and had no vitality at all. However, at the top of this jujube tree, there was a big red jujube, emitting a faint light.

This was the place where the spiritual energy was the densest in the entire Mount Longhu. This jujube tree was also the legacy treasure of Mount Longhu, called the "Fire Jujube".

"Whew… Alright, alright. The Fire Jujube that only ripens once every 333 years is finally going to mature. I think the opportunity for me to break through to the Demigod stage is almost here…"

The primary reason why Zhang Tongxuan woke up from his closed-door cultivation was the ripening of this Fire Jujube. Being attracted by Zhao Hao's Salvation of Mankind Scripture was just a secondary reason.

At this moment, the Fire Jujube was about to mature. It was a treasure that could enable a cultivator who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to break through to the Demigod stage. Of course, Zhang Tongxuan had to stay here.

"Hmm, it looks like the Fire Jujube will mature in two days. When I've advanced to the Demigod stage, I'll definitely study that kid. I have a feeling that there's something strange about him…"

Zhang Tongxuan smiled as he looked at the big jujube. He was in an extremely good mood.

However, the next moment, a huge suction force instantly descended on Mount Longhu. All the thin spiritual energy in the entire Mount Longhu disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Tongxuan's eyes widened, but he realized that he was clearly one step too late to make a move.

"No…"

A cry of pain came out of him.

At that instant, the brightly colored Fire Jujube withered, and all the vitality and spiritual energy contained in it disappeared.

"Who… Who did this…"

A human figure soared into the sky above Mount Longhu, and an incredibly powerful aura spread out in all directions. All the pedestrians on Mount Longhu were frightened by this terrifying aura and fell on the road.

Even those Taoist priests with exceptional Cultivation Bases on Mount Longhu were not able to withstand it.

Zhang Tongxuan sent out his divine sense and instantly checked out the area within a hundred miles of Mount Longhu.

However, he did not detect a single trace of the spiritual energy. This was because all the spiritual energy within a hundred miles of Mount Longhu had been sucked dry. It was impossible to find it.

"Oh, my dear ancestor… Please quickly keep your aura in check… If you keep going on like this, Mount Longhu will be doomed…" Just then, a voice came from below. It was the current Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Zhiwei.

Chapter 27: What? We Have to Report Our Flying?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Zhiwei was very speechless.

He had not dealt with this ancestor many times before. Who knew that he would be so unreliable? Even if this was all for showing off, nobody would show off to such an extent.

Great. Looking at the current situation, he expected that the people from the government would probably come soon. When that happened, he would have to deal with them himself.

Unable to find the thief who had sucked the spiritual energy from the Fire Jujube, Zhang Tongxuan had no choice but to land.

Zhang Zhiwei hurriedly waved his sleeve in front of all the believers on Mount Longhu and all the Taoist priests, immediately releasing a stream of spiritual energy and erasing everyone's memories about what had just happened.

After doing so, he came to Zhang Tongxuan's side with some dissatisfaction and said in a low voice, "Ancestor, the cultivators no longer had the final say in the current world like how it used to be back then. What you did earlier will displease the government very much."

Hearing this, Zhang Tongxuan's eyes instantly widened as he said domineeringly, "I'm at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Is there anything in this world that can threaten me?"

When Zhang Zhiwei saw this, he helplessly shook his head. Then, he took out his phone and played the video of the 100 Tsar's bombs hitting the Pharaoh King back then.

Even though a cultivator who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage could shatter a mountain full of rocks, burn rivers, and tread seas, when Zhang Tongxuan saw the video, cold sweat still appeared on his forehead. He said in disbelief, "Does the current government possess this kind of power?"

He was truly shocked by the power of the 100 Tsar's bombs. Even though he could dodge them with his cultivation, such terrifying power was simply too frightening.

Seeing that he had successfully shocked his old ancestor, Zhang Zhiwei was very satisfied and said, "That's right, old ancestor. There were only 100 of them. To my knowledge, there are more than 10,000 of them in our government."

Zhang Tongxuan did not want to talk about it anymore. If he had broken through to the Demigod stage, he might not be afraid of these things. However, he did not have much lifespan at the moment, so he could not withstand such an attack.

"Okay, you can handle this matter on my behalf. I had just sensed something, so I'll go back to my Cave Estate to cultivate inside closed doors."

Having said that, Zhang Tongxuan disappeared in an instant. The current society was too dangerous. If he did not break through to the Demigod stage, he would not come out again.

Seeing his ancestor's reaction, Zhang Zhiwei nodded with satisfaction. He picked up his phone and made a call.

"Hello, Qiusheng? It's me, Zhiwei. About the fluctuation of the spiritual energy on Mount Longhu earlier…"

"I know. I had a sense just now, and I had a little breakthrough. Yeah, so there's no need to send someone here to look into it."

"What? You want me to go to the Capital? What for? You know that as a Celestial Master, I'm very busy."

"Playing mahjong? Alright, I'll go now."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhiwei smiled smugly. He had settled the crisis that had scared his old ancestor back to his closed-door cultivation with just a phone call. His figure flashed, and he disappeared from Mount Longhu.

At this time, Zhang Tongxuan, who had returned to his Cave Estate, tapped repeatedly with his fingers, but still could not figure out any information. Whether it was about the person who had taken away all the spiritual energy within a hundred miles of Mount Longhu or about the reason why the Tsar's bombs were so powerful, he had no clues at all.

"Phew… How did the world become so scary? I'd better return to my closed-door cultivation… D*mn, don't ever let me catch that thief. If I do, I'll make him a Taoist corpse…"

…

In a hotel at the foot of Mount Longhu, Zhao Hao, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, had entered a mysterious state.

The spiritual energy that had been absorbed into his body in that instant was not wasted at all. It had all been refined, thanks to the Mahayana Holy Body and the other Cultivation Talents.

Zhao Hao had been making multiple breakthroughs.

From the middle stage of the Qi Cultivation stage to the late stage of the Qi Cultivation stage, to the peak of the Qi Cultivation stage, to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, to the Core Formation stage…

"Boom…"

A loud boom came out. Zhao Hao actually reached the Core Formation stage on his first day of cultivation.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Zhao Hao's eyes instantly opened, and dazzling divine light burst out from his eyes. The aura of the Core-Formation-stage cultivation instantly spread but was absorbed into Zhao Hao's body in an instant.

A genius who had ever accomplished this was still rare even in the entire history of cultivation.

After feeling the spiritual energy circulating in his body, he softly waved his fist. Zhao Hao felt that he could beat a thousand of the old Zhao Haos now.

His Mahayana Holy Body alone had an extremely powerful boosting effect, allowing his physical body to kill level-three and level-four supernatural beings easily.

After careful judgment, Zhao Hao shockingly discovered that even the incredibly ferocious level-eight supernatural being from last night probably would be no match for him now.

Even the three purple-robed Taoist priests from last night, who were all Taoist Core-Formation experts and also level-seven experts by the official standards, could not hold a candle to Zhao Hao. The gap between their strengths was simply too big.

Of course, Zhao Hao had such an extraordinary physique, and the cultivation methods he had practiced were all exceptional too. To a God's favorite like him, wouldn't killing enemies who were at a more advanced stage be as simple as chopping melons and vegetables?

After calming his mind, Zhao Hao suddenly had a very good idea. If he entered the simulation when he had already reached the Core Formation stage in the real world, wouldn't it give him a lot more time to break through to more advanced stages?

However, Zhao Hao was not in a hurry to activate the Cultivation Simulator.

He slowly walked to the window of the room and opened it. Looking at the tall buildings in front of him and the blue sky, Zhao Hao began to get excited.

Last night, he had been brought by the old Taoist priest to fly around, but he had not felt anything. All he did was shout while closing his eyes.

Now that his cultivation had reached the Core Formation stage, Zhao Hao could fly on his own. The Tao Te Ching contained flying techniques.

The desire of humans to fly was deeply rooted. Even if they could fly by plane, how would it even be comparable to their own ability to fly freely?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao had no hesitation. He immediately jumped out of the window and used the flying technique. He instantly disappeared in front of the window.

"Ah… This is so cool… So exciting…"

Above the white clouds, Zhao Hao quickly crashed into a huge white cloud. When he jumped out, his whole body was covered in rain. In the high sky, the temperature was relatively low. In addition, Zhao Hao's flying speed was not slow, the water on his body instantly turned into frost.

However, Zhao Hao did not care at all. With the Mahayana Holy Body, this temperature was nothing to his body.

After flying at high speed for half an hour, Zhao Hao decided to turn back. After all, he could not afford to lose what was actually important to him because of something so small. He still had some important things to do.

However, at this moment, a helicopter was flying toward Zhao Hao at high speed.

Zhao Hao was shocked. Just as he was about to dodge, he heard someone on the helicopter shouting through a loudspeaker.

"Attention, the flying superpowered person ahead. Attention, the flying superpowered person ahead. We haven't received any request to fly from any superpowered person at the Air Traffic Control Center. We haven't received any request to fly from any superpowered person at the Air Traffic Control Center. Please land immediately. Please land immediately."

"What the h*ll? We have to report to the Air Traffic Control Center in order to fly???" Zhao Hao was dumbfounded.

Chapter 28: I Had Someone Back Me Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To avoid having any conflict with the government, Zhao Hao was forced to land by the helicopter.

Fortunately, there was a huge mountain beneath it, and no one saw him.

As the helicopter could not find a good landing spot, it kept circling in the sky. Then, it threw down a ladder from above, and a fully armed soldier quickly climbed down.

…

"Your name, age, and what special abilities do you have…"

The little soldier asked Zhao Hao with a serious face. Obviously, this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Zhao Hao was very helpless, but he had already thought of a solution.

He took out his phone and dialed Bai Bing's number.

Bai Bing was stunned when she saw Zhao Hao's number. They had only left each other for a short while, and now he was calling her. What was he trying to do? Was he trying to flirt with her?

However, Bai Bing did not hang up. Instead, she picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"Sister Bai, I'm in a bit of trouble here. You didn't tell me that superpowered people need to report their flying to the Air Traffic Control Bureau, and now they are dealing with me. What do you think I should do?" Zhao Hao said in a straightforward manner. After all, he was going to be a member of the supernatural squad in a week. Of course, he should contact his leader for a problem like this.

Bai Bing was speechless after hearing that. She had not expected that this guy who had just awakened his special abilities could actually fly.

After all, there were only few level-five superpowered people could fly freely, and Zhao Hao's special abilities had just been awakened for days.

However, Bai Bing had already asked Zhao Hao to join her squad. The problem of the squad members had to be resolved properly.

"I'll deal with you later. Pass the phone to their leader." Zhao Hao could hear the domineering tone in Bai Bing's voice. He instantly understood that the squad had a stronger backing than the Air Traffic Control Bureau.

He walked to the little soldier arrogantly and said to him, "Ask your leader to come over. My leader wants to talk to him…"

The little soldier was affected by Zhao Hao's imposing manner and actually felt a little afraid. He took a step back and spoke a few words into the walkie-talkie.

Then, a soldier with the rank of Senior Colonel came down from the helicopter.

Zhao Hao did not listen to what Bai Bing said. However, seeing that the Senior Colonel was standing at attention and saluting, he knew that he should be fine.

As expected, after the phone was hung up, the Senior Colonel respectfully handed the phone to Zhao Hao.

"Sir, why didn't you just say that you're a soldier under Senior Colonel Bai? How could I trouble you to make a phone call for something like this?"

Zhao Hao smiled and replied, "I don't need to make a report now, do I?"

The Senior Colonel quickly said, "No, no. Senior Colonel Bai has already told us that you're on a special mission and enjoying priority flying rights. However, it's best if you tell us, the air traffic control center, your flying route so that we can divert some of the planes and avoid disturb your flying."

"Okay." This was the first time Zhao Hao had ever understood the benefits of power. His flying could force all the planes to change their routes.

However, Zhao Hao did not do so. After chit-chatting with the senior colonel, he directly flew back to the hotel on Mount Longhu.

"Phew… I feel so refreshed after flying around. It's time to start today's Cultivation Simulation."

With an exclamation, Zhao Hao activated the Cultivation Simulator.

As the Cultivation Talent pane had not yet reset, he could not any extract any talent anyway, so he just randomly selected three talents.

[On the first day, you were already at the Core Formation stage. You did not steal any cultivation manuals. Instead, you focused on cultivating the Tao Te Ching.]

…

[On the 15th day, as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, you successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and became a Great Cultivator. You inspected the people in the village, but you still could not identify the respective stage of their Cultivation Base. Within a day, you killed all the evil ghosts and the dismembered body parts of the male corpse and destroyed all the Evil God temples. You finally went up to the top of the mountain, killed the Oink God, and obtained the Breath Concealing Technique. You returned to the village to continue your cultivation.]

…

[On the 30th day, you reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. You remember the opportunities that came after that. You headed toward Extreme Abyss City.]

…

[On the 33rd day, while strolling around Extreme Abyss City, you heard about a cultivation sect called the Mount Xianyin. It towered over a sea of flowers and its disciples were all women. You were very curious and tried to find out the location of the sect.]

…

[On the 34th day, you met an old cultivator by chance. He saw that you had an extraordinary physique and gave you two secret manuals. You successfully obtained the "Bloody Demon Divine Technique" and the "Supreme Yin-yang Demonic Attack".]

…

[On the 38th day, you stopped trying to find out the location of Mount Xianyin. Instead, you returned to your Cave Estate to focus on your cultivation. With your extraordinary talents, you quickly picked up the Blood Demon Divine Technique and the Supreme Yin-yang Demonic Attack.]

[On the 39th day, with the help of the two great demonic techniques, you broke through to the Demigod stage and developed a Blood Demon avatar. It was as if you had two lives now.]

…

[On the 50th day, the auction started in Extreme Abyss City. You attended the auction, and a Spirit Fox was dragged out. Its entire body was covered in mud, except that its eyes were clean and clear. On a whim, you spent 500 high-grade spirit stones to buy it. In the middle of the night, the Spirit Fox that you had bought with a large sum transformed into a human and fed you a Heaven Mending Pill by force. After that, it disappeared, and you reached the peak of the Demigod stage.]

[On the 51st day, you left Extreme Abyss City and strolled along a river. A fairy River God walked out of the river and smiled to you. She asked to be your Cultivation Partner. You were angry, so you beat her up and kept her as your pet.]

Chapter 29: The Entire World Is the Enemy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[On the 53rd day, you came to the entrance of the mystic realm through the water passage and found that there was a big formation blocking your way. As your Cultivation Base was too powerful, the River God did not dare to trigger its trap. With what you had learned about formations from Tao Te Ching, you entered the mystic realm successfully. Instead of searching for treasures in the outer area of the mystic realm, you chose to walk right into the depths of the mystic realm. Deep in the mystic realm, there was a stone tablet. Only then did you know that this mystic realm was called the Qiankun Mystic Realm. It was the legacy land left behind by Elder Qiankun who had transcended the tribulation and ascended to Heaven.]

[On the 54th day, you passed the three tests left behind by Elder Qiankun with your superb skills. You obtained a Tribulation-Transcending-stage Fire Seed, the secret skill "Qiankun Great Shift", and a large number of spirit stones. You left the mystic realm. You did not return to Extreme Abyss City. Instead, you came to a thousand-mile-long desert.]

[On the 55th day, you began your closed-door cultivation, trying to break through to the Moral Enlightenment stage.]

…

[On the 60th day, you refined the Tribulation-Transcending-stage Fire Seed and use it for a breakthrough. Over ten thousand thunders struck down, as you successfully advanced to the Moral Enlightenment stage. There was still some power in the Fire Seed, and you advanced all the way to the high-level Moral Enlightenment stage.]

[On the 61st day, you left your Blood Demon avatar in the Cave Estate in the vast desert. You went out of the desert to look for cultivation resources.]

…

[On the 70th day, you found a well on the road. The well was emitting a faint demonic energy. You entered it directly and found that it was a relic. It seemed to be the relic of the ancient Sky Demon. Under the influence of the dense demonic energy in the relic, you obtained the legacy item the "Heart of the Sky Demon".]

[On the 71st day, you successfully refined the Heart of the Sky Demon and reached the peak of the Moral Enlightenment stage.]

…

[On the 85th day, you sat cross-legged in a Cave Estate and cultivated. Suddenly, a shocking aura burst out from your body. All the spiritual energy within a radius of 10,000 miles was completely absorbed by you. Endless Thunder Tribulations descended, and you successfully entered the Synthesis stage.]

…

[On the 92nd day, you heard on the way that there was an ancient immortal beast. A six-tailed white fox appeared in the Underdark Forest. A large number of cultivators were rushing over and hoping to subdue this ancient immortal beast. You coveted the beauty of the -tailed white fox, so you did not wait to rush over to the Underdark Forest. However, the six-tailed white fox was too rare, so it caused a battle among several Tribulation-Transcending-stage cultivators. You were implicated, and you escaped with serious injuries.]

…

[On the 95th day, you returned to your Cave Estate and began to cultivate in peace, trying to break through to a more advanced stage.]

…

[On the 99th day, you successfully refined the Heart of the Sky Demon, and you instantly reached the peak of the Synthesis stage. A Sky Demon from another region wanted to possess your body, but was scared away by the Tao Te Ching.]

…

[On the 150th day, although your body had not been possessed by the Heart of the Sky Demon, you went astray and started improving your strength with the Cultivation Method of Sky Demons. You began to frantically look for cultivators and devour their Cultivation Base. Everyone in the cultivation world was scared of you, and your rationality gradually declined.]

…

[On the 183rd day, the cultivation world was deeply displeased with your actions. All the major sects sent their experts to hunt you down, but you killed them one by one.]

…

[On the 200th day, you successfully entered the Tribulation Transcending stage, and you simply swallowed the Heavenly Tribulation. The Sky Demon from another region appeared once again, but only its head could run away from you.]

…

[On the 215th day, the higher-ups of the cultivation world had already had their eyes on you. They were determined to kill you, and they sent nine Tribulation-Transcending-stage cultivators to join forces in doing so. However, you unleashed your insanely strong Cultivation Base. The Heaven and Earth collapsed. You killed the nine cultivators brutally. You were also seriously injured.]

…

[On the 300th day, you were surrounded by the people of the cultivation world in the desert. Even the Ascension-stage cultivators came. They had deployed an army of three million cultivators to set up a great formation together. It was the Yin-yang Sun Burning and Devil Eliminating Formation. You did not panic at all. A great battle was about to break out.]

[On the 308th day, you fought with them for eight days and eight nights. The entire cultivation world was in turmoil. You killed two million cultivators, but eventually, you were outnumbered. Your body was shattered, and your rationality was on the verge of dissipating. However, you did not panic at all, because you had a backup plan. You had a Blood Demon avatar hidden in an unknown place.]

[On the 309th day, when you woke up from your deep sleep, you had already arrived at the Blood River. You planned to start your cultivation again and take your revenge on those cultivators. Right when you were about to cultivate, the Sky Demon from another region took advantage of your weakness and possessed your body when you are at your weakest. You died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 309 days. System Cooldown Time: 309 minutes.]

As Zhao Hao looked at the five-hour cooldown time, he could not help but fall into deep thoughts.

The cultivation simulation this time was undoubtedly a very successful experience, from which he could gather a lot of information.

Zhao Hao opened the notepad right away and started taking notes.

"I can obtain the Heart of the Sky Demon from a well emitting demonic energy. Although there will be the risk of the Sky Demon from another region possessing my body anytime, it can greatly advance my cultivation."

"After the Moral Enlightenment stage is the Synthesis stage, and after the Synthesis stage is the Tribulation Transcending stage. In that world, there are also Ascension-stage experts."

…

After taking notes of the information one by one, Zhao Hao could not help but start to reflect on himself. He had had three top-notch Cultivation Talents, so why must he focus on Devil Cultivation?

If he focused on cultivating the Tao Te Ching, he would also attain extraordinary achievements. Moreover, it was too dangerous to have the Sky Demon constantly trying to possess him.

"A gentleman must stay away from dangers. I will not choose the evil path." Thinking of this, Zhao Hao immediately deleted all the information about the Sky Demon. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would definitely not walk the path to becoming an enemy of the entire world.

Although it would advance his cultivation rapidly, it was too dangerous. He was determined to become an immortal and a God, so how could he do this?

After sorting everything out and looking at the five-hour cooldown time, Zhao Hao decided to continue collecting Red Cultivation Talents.

If he could reach such an advanced stage with only three Red Cultivation Talents, wouldn't he be invincible in the entire world when he transmigrated with ten Cultivation Talents?

Zhao Hao immediately turned on his phone and began to search for famous scenic spots nearby.

However, what appeared was either a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple. Zhao Hao had already extracted enough talents from the two religions, so of course, he ignored them.

Suddenly, Zhao Hao's eyes lit up when he saw a familiar name.

Chapter 30: A Fruitful Trip

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Throughout history, there had been only one sect that had enjoyed an equal footing with Buddhism and Taoism, which was Confucianism.

It had been passed down for thousands of years. Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism came out top of the three religions and nine schools of thought. Confucianism must have its own uniqueness to be able to enjoy an equal footing with Buddhism and Taoism.

Based on the information, Zhao Hao found a very good location, Dali.

The Dali Confucian Temple had been passed down for centuries. Not only did it have a long history, but there had also been an endless stream of pilgrims. Most importantly, there was also a Dali Martial Temple that was a short distance from the Dali Confucian Temple.

What was worshipped in the two temples were those who had earned themselves a place in the history books. Based on Zhao Hao's judgment, he could definitely obtain a lot of Cultivation Talents through these people.

Since he had already determined the location, Zhao Hao did not wait. After all, there were still over five hours before the cooldown time of the Cultivator Simulator ended. So, he should spend the time doing something anyway.

He did not choose to fly with his own ability. Zhao Hao booked the earliest flight to Dali. Then, he hurriedly left the hotel and took the flight to Dali.

At the same time, Bai Bing immediately received the news that Zhao Hao was going to Dali.

Bai Bing was a little confused, but she ignored the news. She just thought that Zhao Hao was going on a trip while he still had time since he would start working soon.

…

In Dali.

After a journey of over two hours, Zhao Hao successfully arrived at the Dali Confucian Temple.

Unlike the Taoist temple on Mount Longhu, it was off-season now, thus there were not many visitors at the Dali Confucian Temple. Zhao Hao leisurely bought a ticket and then stepped in the temple.

The architecture of Dali Confucian Temple was the same as all the other Confucian Temples. The main hall in the middle of the temple was the Dacheng Hall. The main hall was dedicated to the sage Confucius, the second sage Mencius, and the proximate sage Yan Hui. The two side halls were dedicated to the 72 disciples of Confucius and the great Confucian scholars of the past.

Zhao Hao was very respectful to these ancient sages. Since his schedule was not tight, Zhao Hao entered the side hall first.

The side hall was very quaint and elegant. There were dozens of memorial tablets, and a portrait was hung behind each tablet.

Just as he entered, Zhao Hao received a system notification in his mind.

[Ding! The Orange Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

Zhao Hao looked up at the nearest memorial tablet.

"Gongye Chang? I remember this. He should be the son-in-law of Confucius. I didn't expect him to have an Orange Cultivation Talent."

Obviously, any random disciple had an orange cultivation talent. Zhao Hao was instantly overjoyed as he walked past so many memorial tablets.

[Ding! The Orange Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Gold Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Orange Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

…

Along the way, Zhao Hao had obtained dozens of Cultivation Talents. The most inferior one was an Orange Talent, and most of them were Gold Talents.

"Sure enough, if cultivation was possible back then, it was natural that Confucius would be called a saint. Just looking at the talents of these disciples of Confucius and of those great Confucian scholars, Confucianism is a bit too terrifying…" Zhao Hao could not help but exclaim after he had collected talents from all the tablets in the side hall.

None of the Cultivation Talents obtained from the Buddhas in the White Horse Temple were of a quality as high as those he obtained in this side hall.

After all, everyone here was a legend, enjoying the worship of the world.

After his exclamation, Zhao Hao turned to the second side hall.

As before, he received many system notifications.

[Ding! The Orange Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Gold Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Red Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

"Eh?"

Among the Gold and Orange Talents, a Red Cultivation Talent suddenly appeared, which undoubtedly made Zhao Hao stop. Originally, Zhao Hao thought that most of the talents here were probably Gold and Orange and that he would only obtain a Red Talent from Confucius in the end. He had not expected that there would be a Red Talent in this side hall, so he could not help but look up at the tablet.

The person in the portrait was eight feet tall, with a jade-like face, a silk scarf on his head, and a cape on his body. He looked like a celestial being.

The name of this person was written on the tablet. He was the ancient Confucian scholar Zhuge Liang, and his courtesy name was Kong Ming.

Zhao Hao's eyes instantly lit up. If he obtained the Red Talent from Zhuge Liang, then it made total sense. After all, if there were ghosts and gods in this world, Zhuge Liang's skills were definitely not as simple as he knew.

After bowing to Zhuge Liang's tablet, Zhao Hao continued to walk forward.

Unfortunately, the remaining sages did not provide Zhao Hao with any more Red Talents. However, Zhao Hao was still very satisfied. This trip was absolutely worth it. It had been so rewarding.

After collecting talents in the two side halls, Zhao Hao excitedly stepped into the main hall, Dacheng Hall, right away.

In the center of the Dacheng Hall was the statue of Confucius, the sage of Confucianism…

In this world where ghosts and gods existed, Zhao Hao did not know the cultivation status of Confucius. However, since as the Descendant of Taoist Trinity he had the experience of shattering the Patriarch of Mount Longhu into pieces by worshipping him, he did not dare to worship Confucius as he wishes…

He took three long incense sticks and bowed respectfully to the statue of Confucius before slowly stepping forward…

[Ding! The Red Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Gold Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

"…"

After three consecutive system notifications, Zhao Hao knew that he had successfully obtained the Cultivation Talents of the three Confucian sages in the hall.

He bowed decisively and respectfully. Then, he walked out of the hall.

The trip to the Confucian Temple was a huge win. Apart from accidentally obtaining Red Cultivation Talents from Confucius and Zhuge Liang, he had also obtained many high-level Cultivation Talents.

The Cultivation Talent selection pool had originally been occupied by Blue and White Talents, but finally there were many high-level Cultivation Talents now.

However, Zhao Hao did not get too ahead of himself at the moment. Instead, he looked worried.

The reason why he was worried was exactly that there were too many strong Cultivation Talents in the selection pool and that he had collected more information from the simulation. Now it was already very difficult for him to die in the simulation.

Take the last simulation as an example, he had spent over 300 days in the Cultivation Simulation and the cooldown period was already over five hours. If it was the same every time, he would not be able to use the Cultivation Simulator more than a few times per day, and the chances of getting a Red Talent would undoubtedly become much lower.

"So, the most urgent thing to do now is to look for an event or a talent that will make it easy for me to die."

Zhao Hao could not help but frown as he thought about it. With a cheat as big as the Cultivation Simulator, he should maximize the effect of the cheat.

It had been nearly four hours since he rushed to Dali from Mount Longhu. Zhao Hao thought a while and took a taxi to the Dali Martial Temple that was not far from him.

Chapter 31: The Strange Village

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Dali Martial Temple was not far from Dali Confucian Temple.

Zhao Hao took a taxi and arrived in front of the Martial Temple.

Unlike the grand and magnificent Confucian Temple, the Martial Temple was relatively simpler. However, Zhao Hao did not mind this.

On the contrary, Zhao Hao's expectations for the Martial Temple were actually higher than what he had had for the Confucian Temple.

After all, the Martial Temple had 10 military counsellors and 72 generals.

Zhao Hao was filled with hope as he entered the Martial Temple. Like what he had done in the Confucian Temple, Zhao Hao started collecting Cultivation Talents right away.

[Ding! The Purple Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Blue Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Orange Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

…

Zhao Hao had mostly obtained Orange and Gold Cultivation Talents at the Confucian Temple, but the talents he obtained here at the Martial Temple were much more mixed. Zhao Hao thought about it and understood.

Although the Martial Generals in the Martial Temple were either extremely powerful or great strategists, their strengths did not have much to do with cultivation talents. Even ordinary people with some luck and great perseverance could accomplish it.

After collecting talents from most of the tablets, Zhao Hao was still a little disappointed. Compared to the high-level Cultivation Talents collected in the Confucian Temple, only three of the 72 Generals in the Martial Temple had Gold Talents. All the other talents were not high-level talents.

[Ding! The Red Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

A notification instantly lit up Zhao Hao's eyes. He raised his head and realized that he had unknowingly arrived in front of the tablets of the ten military counsellors at the Martial Temple.

And the person who had given him the Red Talent was… the God of War, Bai Qi.

"Eh? Although I don't know what this talent is, I have a bad feeling about it…" Zhao Hao could not help but say as he looked at Bai Qi's portrait and thought of Bai Qi's battle record.

However, Zhao Hao then recalled that he had specialized in the Devil Cultivation in the Cultivation Simulation and had killed millions of cultivators. He felt that Bai Qi's battle record was only average.

Following that, Zhao Hao began to collect the talents of the ten military counsellors at the Martial Temple. Apart from Zhuge Liang, who did not give any more talents, Zhao Hao received another eight Gold Talents.

"As expected, none of the ten military counsellors are ordinary."

After letting out an exclamation, Zhao Hao walked into the main hall, the King Wucheng Hall.

There were two types of King Wucheng Hall where different man was worshipped. Before the Qing Dynasty, Jiang Ziya had been worshiped, whereas after the Qing Dynasty, Guan Yu had been worshiped.

The Dali Martial Temple had existed for a long time, so of course, Jiang Ziya was worshipped there.

This time, Zhao Hao did not bow to Jiang Ziya, mainly because he was afraid that Jiang Ziya would not be able to take it.

After all, he was the Descendant of Taoist Trinity, so there was still a gap between his status and Jiang Ziya's status as a disciple of the Yu Xu Temple.

Zhao Hao did not think too highly of Jiang Ziya's Cultivation Talent. After all, there were records that even the Primordial Lord of Heaven had said that Jiang Ziya was not suitable for cultivation. Thus, he had let Jiang Ziya go down the mountain to enjoy the title of "God of War" and a lifetime of wealth.

[Ding! The Orange Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

"As expected, I knew the level would not be high."

Zhao Hao could not help but smile. He thought about how there were so many talented bigshots in the Martial Temple, but they were all suppressed by Jiang Ziya alone. This was the benefit of relying on bigshots.

After the trip to the Martial Temple, the cooldown time of the Cultivation Simulator had also ended, and the Cultivation Talent pane had reset.

Zhao Hao found a nearby hotel and excitedly activated the Cultivation Simulator.

There were at least four Red Cultivation Talents in the cultivation talent selection pool. Zhao Hao even felt that it was enough for him to use for a few days.

He could take advantage of these few days to properly plan things in the cultivation world.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

Ten rays of dazzling golden lights appeared in front of Zhao Hao. Although there was not a single Red Cultivation Talent, 10 Gold Cultivation Talents appeared simultaneously. The scene really dazzled Zhao Hao.

[Learned Scholar (Gold Talent): Your intelligence increases by 100. You have the talent to practice Confucian Cultivation Methods. Evil beings cannot get close to you easily.]

[Speech Materialization (Gold Talent): Your intelligence and agility increase by 100. You can make the things you say become a reality by expending your scholarly energy.]

[Heroic Righteousness (Gold Talent): Your luck increases by 100. With your righteousness coming from the Heaven and Earth, one word of yours can kill evil demons.]

[Descendant of Taoist Trinity (Red Talent): All your attributes increase by 500. All the Spiritual Roots in your body are Heaven Spiritual Roots. You're an Orthodox Taoist with an inherent cultivation technique, "Tao Te Ching". You can cultivate all Taoist Cultivation Methods.]

After carefully screening them for a while, Zhao Hao finally selected three Confucian Cultivation Talents.

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you reached the Core Formation stage. With your righteousness coming from the Heaven and Earth, the ghosts and monsters were very disgusted with you. You began to focus on cultivating the Tao Te Ching.]

[On the third day, your cultivation reached the peak of the Core Formation stage, and your aura attracted the village head. The village head quietly watched you for a long time outside the house before sighing and leaving.]

[On the fourth day, you just went out and encountered Widow Zhang. Widow Zhang spat at you, and a basin of washing water fell on your face.]

[On the fifth day, you discovered that this time was special. It seemed that the entire village was very hostile to you. You went to Blacksmith Wang's house. Blacksmith Wang found you very unpleasant and wanted to smash you to death with a big hammer on the spot. Fortunately, the village head arrived in time to stop Blacksmith Wang. The village head whispered something to Blacksmith Wang, so you were able to escape.]

[On the sixth day, you were well aware that everyone in the village did not like you and viewed you with hostility. Based on your talents, you could easily tell that no one in the entire village seemed like a normal person. You were a little scared, so you stayed in your room and quickly cultivated, hoping to leave the village as soon as possible.]

…

[On the 15th day, you reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Just as you were about to leave the village, you realized that a formation engulfed the village. There was no way for you to escape.]

[On the 16th day, you used the formation breaking method in the Tao Te Ching. Although you successfully broke the formation, you failed to notice there was another layer outside. The breaking sound of the formation woke up all the people in the village. Your Cultivation Base was sealed, and you were tied up.]

[On the 17th day, you were in the village head's house. In your eyes, he had used to be just an ordinary old man from the countryside. But now that you were tied up, this place was like Hell on Earth in your eyes. And the village head only looked at you for a while before leaving.]

…

[On the 20th day, many people came to the village head's house for a meeting. However, they quarreled midway. Widow Zhang even fought with Carpenter Li. Your knowledge is shallow, so you could not tell the cultivation level of these two people. You can only see ghosts wailing and wolves howling outside the window, as well as the figure of an incredibly long and patterned spider.]

Chapter 32: Investigating the Small Village

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[On the 21st day, the battle outside gradually quieted down. Your door opened once again, and the village head walked in and brought you out. He then told you that if you could break the great formation at the outermost part of the village, he would let you go. You came to the edge of the village and looked carefully. Only then did you realize that there was actually a great formation under this small village. It was also the second formation you saw last night. You used the formation-breaking method in the Taoist Scripture, but it was useless.]

[On the 22nd day, you learned from the village head that this formation was called the Heaven-Sealing Formation. However, the village head did not share any other information with you. He only told you that one of the prisoners could be released with your blood. If you could not break the formation, then you would be killed.]

…

"On the 25th day, you studied this great formation for a long time, but you didn't have any leads. It was almost time to leave the novice village. You were so irritable that you almost went mad."

…

"On the 29th day, you saw that you couldn't break the formation, so you thought of sneaking out. However, before you could escape the village, you were surrounded by more than ten people in the village. This time, even the village head did not intervene. You were dismembered and died.

…

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 29 days. System Cooldown Time: 29 minutes.]

Zhao Hao looked at the interface and exclaimed, "Damn! I knew this village wasn't simple, but I didn't expect it to be a village of monsters!"

Then, he took out his phone and wrote on his notepad while the cooldown was still on.

Most of the NPCs in the village were ghosts and monsters. Their cultivation was unknown, but from the fact that he had been in the Nascent Soul stage and couldn't tell how deep they were, as well as the fact that he was trapped in the village by the Heaven-Sealing Formation, he could tell that they were at least in the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Previously, he could leave the village in such a dangerous situation, but this time, he did not. Obviously, it had something to do with the three Confucian Cultivation Talents that he picked, so Zhao Hao did not extract any of the three Cultivation Talents.

Widow Zhang and Carpenter Li had been fighting, and they saw a big spider. It was accompanied by the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves. It was clear that one of the two must be a Spider Spirit.

Unconsciously, Zhao Hao recalled his own experience of being sucked dry by Widow Zhang in a simulation.

"As expected. No wonder I, a grand Mahayana Holy Body, was so easily killed by a demon. I almost thought I couldn't do it at that time, but I didn't expect Widow Zhang to use me as a furnace."

Sighing, Zhao Hao began to wait patiently. The cooldown was only half an hour, and soon, the time was up.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

There were already ten ordinary talents, and Zhao Hao randomly chose three talents that had nothing to do with Confucianism.

[On the first day, you came to the world as a Colden Core cultivator. You knew that the village was strange, so you didn't go out. Instead, you focused on cultivating the Tao Te Ching.]

[On the second day, your cultivation reached the completion of the Colden Core stage. You had been paying attention to the movements outside the house. You found that the village had been watching your house silently for a long time before finally leaving.]

[On the third day, you did not choose to continue with your breakthrough. You planned to make use of the opportunity of the simulator a few more times to investigate the numerous villagers in the small village properly. You visited Widow Zhang's house and received Widow Zhang's warm welcome. While Widow Zhang was cooking, you secretly opened her wardrobe and rummaged through it. You did not find anything strange, but the fabric of those clothes was very strange and smooth to the touch. It was definitely not something that a villager could wear. However, you suddenly turned back and found Widow Zhang staring at you coldly. In order to dispel her misgivings, you greedily took the clothes and sniffed at the tip of your nose, then pounced on Widow Zhang.]

…

[On the fifth day, you limped out of Widow Zhang's house. You couldn't help but sigh in your heart. As a peak Colden Core cultivator, in the end, you were defeated by this Spider Spirit. Yes, at this time, you have already confirmed that the hundred-foot-long patterned spider is undoubtedly Widow Zhang. Although you have never heard of spider silk being used to make clothes, you are extremely certain. Don't ask. Asking hurts the dignity of a man.]

['Losing to a Spider Spirit, a demon, is not shameful! If Widow Zhang was not a demon, how could a seven-foot-long man like me have lost?']

[On the sixth day, after a night of rest, You finally recovered your yang energy. You did not cultivate, as it was easier to deal with the villagers with your current Cultivation Base. You went to two nearby houses in a row and accidentally discovered that they were households of ordinary villagers. You cast a spell, and they all fell asleep. From this, you concluded that this village is a village where mortals and ghosts coexist.]

[On the seventh day, you woke up very early in the morning and suddenly remembered that Butcher Zhang kept dozens of chickens in his house at the eastern end of the village. It was precisely because you had eaten dozens of chickens that Butcher Zhang had hacked you to death one time. At that time, you had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage, and you also had the "Mahayana Holy Body", but you couldn't fight back at all. This Butcher Zhang was definitely a ghost. You snuck into Butcher Zhang's house and stole a chicken.]

[On the eighth day, you did not kill the chicken. Instead, you observed what was different about the chicken, and you found some clues about what kind of monster Butcher Zhang was. "As expected, the heavens do not disappoint those who have good intentions!" You found a very evil bloodline in the chicken. You killed the chicken and planned to stew it for food. Just as you were plucking the feathers, Butcher Zhang rushed into your house and saw the chicken that had died. He cried out in pain and swung his knife at you. At the last moment, you suddenly discovered that the evil bloodline in the chicken was very similar to the aura that Butcher Zhang had accidentally released. You then died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 8 days. System Cooldown: 8 minutes.]

Looking at the end panel, Zhao Hao opened the notepad and began to record.

Widow Zhang was equivalent to a Spider Spirit. Butcher Zhang and the chicken had the same evil bloodline.

After recording, Zhao Hao closed his eyes to rest and quietly waited for the cooldown to finish.

Eight minutes quickly passed, and Zhao Hao hurriedly activated it again.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

There was still no Red Cultivation Talent, so Zhao Hao randomly chose three non-Confucian Cultivation Talents and started the simulation.

[On the first day, you descended into the world with the cultivation of the Golden Core stage. You did not choose to cultivate but headed to Butcher Zhang's house. Butcher Zhang was full of enthusiasm for you and asked you if you wanted to buy fresh pork that he had just killed. However, you said you wanted to eat chicken meat and buy the chicken that Butcher Zhang raised at home. Butcher Zhang was furious and chased you out.]
