12 Simulation Of A Secret Realm!
Divine Sword Peak.
Yan Shun was lying on his bed with Luo Xueying.
His body was covered with a bunch of hickeys!
'Sigh...'
'Even though I'll keep tempering my body, my cultivation realm won't be going up! I'll need something to progress faster!'
'System...?'
[Yes, Master?]
'Is there any way besides getting the affection up to get rewards?'
[No...at least for now.]
'Hmn? What do you mean?'
[Let's say... I also can be upgraded.]
[Currently, I'm only Level 1, consider it as the First Realm of cultivation. If I reach Level 2 (Qi Gathering Realm), I'll also get stronger!]
'Oh! Then, how can I make you achieve this 'breakthrough'?' Yan Shun inquired with curiosity.
[That, you'll need to find out yourself.]
'Huh!? Why?'
[...]
Noticing that the system wouldn't reply to him, Yan Shun rolled his body in the other direction.
And he was met with Luo Xueying's face...
Truly a marvellous sight.
He gently caressed her face with his thumb and then got up.
Today was a special day!
There is going to be a special training in the Sect!
The Sect Master said that he had felt the void cracking!
So, it must be the appearance of a Secret Realm!
Usually, before the Secret Realms opens, the Sect organized something like a 'secret realm'.
But, it isn't one!
It's just for the disciples to be more prepared!
You could say that it's a simulation of a secret realm!
The Sect usually also puts treasures all around this simulation!
However, Yan Shun really didn't participate in one.
He was too weak.
Even now, he's still weak, but he's quite confident if he's going to use his Zither.
The cultivation usually is sealed in the Qi Gathering Realm, so, he's pretty much invincible on it!
The Sect usually puts until the Qi Gathering Realm because that's the only realm where they can use Qi without using another type of external help.
External help means that you can't basically use your talent here.
After the Qi Gathering Realm, there's the Foundation Building!
Basically, your foundation will start there!
You will create your own cultivation core!
And there are a few grades to that same Core!
Common, Earth, Sky, and Divine!
So, if they are sealed in the Qi Gathering Realm, they can't basically use their cultivations cores to get a stronger battle power than a common Core.
That's why not only the Holy Land of the Beginning but most of the sects, make the Cultivation Cap of the simulation, the Qi Gathering realm!
So, more talented disciples can't use their talent against others!
As Yan Shun finally arrived at the Outer Hall, he was met with hundreds of disciples talking to each other!
He even saw Gao Yue, his target!
At least, the most important for now!
He didn't know how he could make her favorability go up!
But, he needed it to go up!
'Check Gao Yue's affection! I can't remember...'
[Gao Yue (Third Junior Sister): Hate (Tier 2)]
'Ack! My heart...'
'Haaa... Hate? Really? I just pushed you down and fell on top of you! That's literally the only thing I did to you!'
'Besides, It was even an accident!'
Yan Shun sighed.
'It really feels like...Ye Chen is some kind of here and I'm some kind of villain. It's quite annoying!'
'He easily got their favor, while, before those accidents, I was friendly as possible and they still somehow disliked me!'
'Like, what does he have that I don't? I'm also much more handsome than him!'
'...'
'Talent... My talent is mediocre...'
'Maybe, that's the reason after all?'
'Whatever!'
"Attention!" Suddenly, a brought voice was propelled around the Outer Hall!
"Before we start his simulation! Keep in mind that we've put a special treasure in this fake Secret Realm!"
"Everyone should know what a Dao Fruit is, right?"
Under the Sect Leader's gaze, a lot of people shook their heads.
"Well, the Dao Fruit is basically a heaven-defying fruit! It can change the bone structure and physique of anyone!"
"However, the one who consumes will get a huge amount of pain all over his body!"
"This Fruit needed to be ripped after 100,000 Years to actually grow, and we've decided to put it in this simulation!"
"So, good luck to everyone!" He announced!
At that moment, a huge light blue portal appeared in front of the first row of disciples.
They immediately jumped in full of excitement.
Meanwhile, Yan Shun was quite shocked...!
He didn't expect such a heaven-defying thing to appear!
He needed to get it!
Immediately, he jumped into the portal with a few disciples!
And once he got out of the portal, he was quite shocked!
It was beautiful!
It had plenty of trees, grass, and flowers!
It had crystal hanging on the rock-like roof...
'So this...is how it looks like...?'
He immediately shook his head!
He didn't have any time to waste by looking around!
He needed to find that fruit!
Instantly, he started running forward.
—
"Master! Quickly, where's the location of the Dao Fruit!?" Ye Chen said excitedly!
It would be his 3rd item to change his physique!
His Master told him the location of two heaven-defying items like this, and that's the reason he has a Supreme Talent!
{Go forward...}
Yan Ji started instructing Ye Chen in the direction, she also pointed to many other treasures that would help him.
He arrived at a cliff, and got a Spirit Essence Flower!
This flower could nurture his spirit!
Basically, a mental power increase!
He was guided into a few strange holes in one of the rocks, and found a low-level Earth-Grade sword technique!
And the treasures just kept coming in!
He picked up many things!
Some were even useless from it, but he still got it either way!
He could sell them for more money, and then get more resources to him!
He was basically in a feast!
"Wait!"
Suddenly, someone called out to him!
It was...Lin Xiao!
One of his enemies.
He had a group of disciples around him!
Ye Chen immediately unsheathed his sword, and prepared for the battle!
Lin Xiao could feel a shiver running down his spine, however, he didn't care!
He was confident that with the group of disciples behind he could beat Ye Chen since their cultivation was sealed!
"Kill him!" He commanded.
Immediately, the group of disciples sprinted towards Ye Chen with their weapons.
Sure enough...
Ye Chen dealt with them in just a few seconds!
He imbued his sword with flames and killed them with a single swing!
"Ahaha! Lin Xiao... you really thought that you could kill me!?" Ye Chen said, his lips curving into a wide smirk.
His eyes were full of killing intent!
Meanwhile, in the distance...
Yan Shun was sitting on a rock; he was eating a strange red fruit.
"How the fuck does this guy know where all the opportunities are? It was a good idea to follow him." He remarked.
"This Fire Rooted Fruit is quite delicious...It increased my Fire Qi..so now I have a portion of Fire Qi."
"It's quite useful this Fire Qi..." He admitted.
Then, before Yan Shun's eyes,
Lin Xiao was killed in just a few minutes by Ye Chen's sword.
But, what really caught Yan Shun's attention was that when Ye Chen finally swung his sword to deal the killing blow to Lin Xiao...
He had a completely different aura!
Like, it didn't belong to him!
"This is weird...? I remember Master telling me about a few cases..."
"If I'm not wrong, she told me that in the Upper World, there are people who can split their soul, and then confide themselves in some kind of item."
"Like...a sword, a necklace or a ring!"
"She also told me that this person can pass a bit of their soul powers to help the 'host'."
"Is it the same case with Ye Chen?" Yan Shun wondered.
He wouldn't be shocked if he did have someone from the Upper World helping him!
He basically defeated someone with a big realm above him!
And that basically requires more than 100 times the power than average.
Because each small realm is 2 times stronger than the other.
However, as the realm progressed, it's not just only 2 times stronger.
It can go even to ten times stronger!
And Ye Chen, at the Peak of the Foundation Building defeated a peak Golden Core cultivator!
So, in Yan Shun's perspective, it was obvious that he got some external help, but...
Why wouldn't other people figure this out?
It's like their IQ dropped when Ye Chen was on the figure!
And that also happened to him...
"But now, my thoughts are much clearer... Since I received the System!"
"Yes! When I received the System, it felt much better, now I'm not so easily provoked by him!"
"It's like he has some kind of divine power that lowers other people's intelligence! It's fucking weird!"
"Oh! He's finally moving..."
Yan Shun immediately started following Ye Chen from the shadows, if Ye Chen really had some kind of Master from the Upper World...
He would know his localization!
However, he didn't care!
His only goal was to get that fruit!
And his Master even gave him a rare Void Breaking Talisman a few days ago!
So, he's quite confident!
After a few minutes, Ye Chen finally reached a certain place.
It had like... a white sanctuary!
From his view, he immediately saw a statue holding a beautiful Golden Fruit!
His mouth immediately started to drool!
"This fruit is now mine!" He laughed out loud.
He approached the status, and was about to grab it!
However, at that moment, Yan Shun like a lightning bolt, passed in front of him and grabbed it!
"Oh~ So, this is the Dao Fruit! It seems delicious~" His lips curved into a smug smile.
Ye Chen's eyes shone with killing intent.
"YAN SHUN! GIVE ME THAT DAO FRUIT!" He screamed out loud.
He unsheathed his sword and threw a barrage of Qi at him.
However, Yan Shun effortlessly evaded it!
'Huff...I almost died! This is not his Qi!'
'His Qi is too different!'
Yan Shun looked at Ye Chen, "I'll be taking my leave now." He smirked, a Void Breaking Talisman appearing just before him.
"NOOO!!!"
As the void was cracking and Yan Shun was about to enter, he suddenly head Ye Chen saying something...
"MASTER! GET HIM FOR ME!" His voice was loud!
And then...
Yan Shun felt something pushing his leg...
And his Void Breaking Talisman was spent!
But, he didn't have the chance to run with it!
He looked at Ye Chen, who's aura was much bigger than before.
"I knew it..."
