Chapter 542: Chapter 490 Life Simulation – Divine Artifact, Sanbao Jade Ruyi
Age 85: In the time that follows, Pei Xuanjing sends people to recruit laborers to build the Shenxiao Yujing Palace of the Nine Layers of Heaven, self-designating himself as the High Shenxiao Yuzhen King Longevity Emperor ruling the Heavenly Yuan Sacred Heavenly Lord. He is referred to by the world as the Emperor of Longevity, and his empire is also referred to as the Eternal Divine Dynasty.
Upon the completion of Shenxiao Yujing Palace, Pei Xuanjing moves in. After delegating all matters to others, he enters deep seclusion to truly comprehend the cultivation of this world and to perceive the principles of this world.
Pei Xuanjing has many tasks that need to be accomplished, such as how to use the Power of Faith in Incense to cast a Divine artifact symbolizing the authority of Gods, how to balance the three flavors of essence, energy, and spirit, and then to condense the Golden Core, and so on…
All these questions are what Pei Xuanjing needs to solve at present.
The first is to cast a Divine artifact symbolizing the authority of gods. This is a very important problem relevant to how one can cultivate in the Daming World using the Heavenly Divine Position and the Power of Faith without being tainted by the Karma of Heaven and Earth, thus losing oneself.
However, no matter how quickly the Power of Faith accumulates in the Daming World, it cannot allow Pei Xuanjing to waste it recklessly for experimentation.
But it’s entirely different here in this world. Anything Pei Xuanjing needs, provided it exists within this world, he can gather. As for the Power of Faith, it is inexhaustible. He has countless chances to make mistakes and learn.
Here, he can refine the Divine artifact he desires according to his own ideas, without having to worry about the insufficient Power of Faith.
Furthermore, what Pei Xuanjing needs to attempt is to condense a Golden Core again in this simulated life scenario.
During the life simulation, using a split-body to try and condense a Golden Core is like a matryoshka doll, undoubtedly reducing the risk of error. If an error does occur, it can be quickly rectified without impacting his true body.
Moreover, his true body is now at the same level. Essence, energy, and spirit are all at the Level Six of the Spirit Realm, reaching a balanced state. This time, trying to condense the Golden Core may go even smoother.
Of course, aside from all these, there is another crucial point: how to break through the Sixth Level.
Perhaps due to the help of the life simulator, Pei Xuanjing made significant progress in his early cultivation, with his strength improving rapidly. Even contradictory cultivation methods did not impact his breakthrough speed.
However, compared with other powerful cultivators in the same Realm, even though Pei Xuanjing has extraordinary strength, he still has some deficits and deficiencies in some other aspects.
After advancing into the Spirit Realm, Pei Xuanjing, in his first life simulation attempt, spent over a decade in the World of Myriad Manifestations observing cultivation methods, integrating his Martial Arts, fulfilling deficiencies in his Sword Dao cultivation, and finally projected the foundation of his cultivation path during his advancement into the Heavenly Rank. This formed a strong and solid foundation, compensating for his shortcomings in few areas.
Now, he’s faced with the same problem. Despite having improved his strength up to the Level Six of Spirit Realm, achieving perfection in both his essence, energy, and spirit alike, when compared to other powerhouses in the Sky Wasteland, he lacks the accumulation of years and the deposition of time. Were he to rush into the Sixth Level for a temporary gain, it likely would not end as well as he hopes.
The entire cultivation system, whether in this world or in Pei Xuanjing’s Daming World, even though the names vary, the situations are similar, with minor variations.
The first to third levels are for Mortal Realm Martial Artists; The fourth to sixth levels are for Spirit Realm Cultivators. Once one steps into the seventh level, they would have reached the level of a legendary Deathless True Immortal, eternally existing in this world.
In several materials that Pei Xuanjing obtained, the sixth level is the last step of cultivation and the most crucial. It determines whether one qualifies to pursue the path of Becoming Immortal.
If one were to misstep at this stage, there may no longer be a chance to step into Level Seven and to progress into a True Immortal.
Thus, even though Pei Xuanjing has already had the opportunity to break through his cultivation level, he continually resists advancing.
This time is a wonderful opportunity for Pei Xuanjing to make up for all of this.
Age 100: The Eternal Divine Dynasty is thriving. After countless trials and using an immeasurable amount of the Power of Faith, Pei Xuanjing first refines a Divine artifact that meets his needs – the Sanbao Jade Ruyi.
The Sanbao Jade Ruyi, with a name the same as the well-known magical artifact of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, is the result of Pei Xuanjing selecting countless Divine Materials and combining them with his comprehension of his own essence, energy, and Spirit. With it, he can grasp his divine position in this world — the Emperor of Longevity, possessing unparalleled power.
Age 120: The avatar of Pei Xuanjing successfully condensed the Golden Core, but he did not hurry to cultivate the Golden Core Dao with his true body immediately. Instead, he continued studying the Dao of cultivation, identifying the flaws in his foundational cultivation and making up for his deficiencies.
Age 156: Pei Xuanjing spent thirty-six years sorting out his cultivation method once again. His cultivation of the Shenxiao Heaven’s Intention Jue and Shenxiao Mysterious Skill had completely integrated to form his own Dao-cultivating method, “Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill”. According to his deductions from this skill, the Divine Nine Revolutions Skill will be superior cultivation skill encompassing a straight path from Mortal Realm to Immortal Realm.
From the Mortal Realm onwards, one uses the supreme Mysterious Skill to forge the foundation and condenses an intangible and immaterial Inner Alchemy. This intangible Alchemy gathers together and scatters into nothingness, with each transformation being a level.
However, with his current cultivation level and knowledge base, Pei Xuanjing could only deduce the first six transformations, which is equivalent to reaching Level Nine in the Spirit Realm. If he could deduce the seventh transformation, then it would signify his stepping into the Immortal Realm, becoming an everlasting figure that is undying and immortal.
Following this, Pei Xuanjing dissolved all his original powers and began to cultivate again. But even so, wielding the Golden Book and Jade Scroll and the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, Pei Xuanjing still possessed unmatched power in this world.
Age 159: Pei Xuanjing condensed a Golden Core, though at this moment the Golden Core should probably be more appropriately known as the Inner Alchemy.
Age 198: Pei Xuanjing’s entire cultivation method had been fully revised to the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill, and he took the opportunity to step into the sixth transformation, equivalent to the Seventh Level of Spirit Realm.
Age 201: Pei Xuanjing left seclusion to reappear in front of the world. By that time, the Eternal Divine Dynasty had developed for over a century according to his designs, with countless subjects living in peace and contentment within its vast territory.
Age 278: In the divine dynasty’s two hundredth year of ascension, Pei Xuanjing ordered the construction of the Heavenly Palace. In the same year, Pei Xuanjing, who had neither married nor had children, selected a few heirs from the royal family.
Age 325: The Heavenly Palace Pei Xuanjing had ordered to be built was completed, and his heirs have grown up. In the same year, he transferred some of his power to his heirs and announced that he would enter the Heavenly Palace to seek the way of longevity and would not appear in the world again unless there is a major event.
