Chapter 543: Chapter 491: Simulation Completed, The Way of the Golden Core
“[The Life Simulation Projection has ended, would the host like to inherit the cultivation rewards and achievements from this iteration?]”
After the end of this life simulation, Pei Xuanjing did not immediately recover his senses. Instead, he fell into a prolonged silence, with memories continuously surfacing in his mind.
Even with Pei Xuanjing’s current strength and realm, there were some things that were inevitable, such as the accumulation of years and life experiences.
This time, Pei Xuanjing’s life simulation spanned a duration of 600 years, an experience that was unprecedentedly lengthened for him.
Even if we consider the accumulated experiences from the many life simulations he had lived through in the Daming World, it would barely equal the duration of this particular simulation.
600 years of time, almost equal to the founding years of the Great Ming Empire, in Pei Xuanjing’s previous life, was even enough to compare with the existence time of two prosperous dynasties.
A vast amount of memories flooded into Pei Xuanjing’s mind like a flowing river. Even after discarding the useless memories, it was still a massive shock to him, and he required a considerable amount of time to digest it all.
If it hadn’t been for his immense strength and stable state of mind, he might have been immediately thrown off by these memories, leading to a drastic change in his personality.
Even so, when Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes after a long time, his demeanor had undeniably undergone numerous changes. Besides the wisdom of experience flashing in his eyes, he also exhibited a hint of the majesty of an emperor.
After a long silence, having sorted through his experiences from this life simulation, he coldly uttered a few words:
“Claim.”
Pei Xuanjing chose to claim the rewards from this life simulation.
For him, the gains from this life simulation were unimaginably abundant.
Not only did he resolve the problem of refining a divine weapon, but in this life simulation, he also successfully transitioned to cultivating the Golden Core Dao, making up for the deficiencies in his foundation. With the amalgamation of Shenxiao Heaven’s Intention and Shenxiao Mysterious Skill into one, he underwent another sublimation and took a significant step into the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm.
One can say that this life simulation resulted in a qualitative change in Pei Xuanjing’s strength. He was confident that, even without the assistance of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, he could suppress any strong cultivators of the same realm.
After Pei Xuanjing made his choice, countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi poured in, while his whole body’s aura gradually dissipated.
Disperse Cultivation.
If Pei Xuanjing were to receive the rewards from the life simulator, naturally, he had to disperse his existing cultivation and convert it into his Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill.
In an instant, the cultivation on Pei Xuanjing’s body was dispersed entirely. His initial young face had aged significantly, and his long black hair was now speckled with streaks of white.
According to Pei Xuanjing’s realm, he possessed a lifespan of 5000 years. His current age of less than 60 years was merely a minuscule part compared to his 5000 years of lifespan.
However, when he dispersed his cultivation, his original lifespan began to decay. If it hadn’t been for his body, nourished by the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth, the deterioration might have been significantly worse.
Next, Pei Xuanjing began to operate the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill, and countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi entered his body. The energy gathered in his Dantian, emitting a faint glow around his body. The confluence of his spirit, aura, and soul intermingled within his Dantian, integrating and merging together.
…
For countless Martial Artists, the Taoist Academy of Tiandu, after several years, had already become a highly sought-after Holy Land.
Regardless of background and birth, any Martial Artist who could register their details with the Taoist Academy would receive an identification plate. With this plate as proof, they could then undertake any tasks issued by the Taoist Academy. Upon successful completion of these tasks, they could earn a certain amount of contribution points, which could be used to exchange for the Academy’s martial arts techniques, cultivation elixirs, teachings from Instructors, and so on.
It can be said that the Taoist Academy is considered by Martial Artists to be the fairest institution in the world. As long as one is willing to put in the effort and make the necessary sacrifices, they can definitely reap rewards.
Consequently, the contribution points issued by the Taoist Academy became a universally recognized trade asset, even more useful than many elixirs and treasures.
However, this also led to the contribution points being highly sought after. Almost instantaneously, any tasks posted by the Taoist Academy would be fiercely competed for, and even Independent Practitioners of the Spirit Realm would pay attention to the tasks posted here.
Of course, there are certainly other ways to earn contribution points according to the rules set by the Headmaster Pei Xuanjing. Besides completing tasks assigned by the Academy, one could also donate their skills to the Academy. As long as these skills haven’t been recorded by the Academy, one can earn contribution points according to the distinct levels of the donated skills.
Initially, many Martial Artists were dismissive of this rule, unwilling to exchange the skills they had cultivated since these were directly relevant to their cultivation. They couldn’t just casually expose them. They were like greedy Pi Xiu beasts, only wishing to take techniques from the Academy and not willing to give theirs in return.
However, among the countless Martial Artists in the world, there were always some who were different, willing to fight for their future.
When a Martial Artist, who was on the run due to family conflicts, came to the Academy, he reckoned that it was better to donate his family’s heritage instead of letting them fall into the hands of the enemy. He could then exchange it for endowments for his cultivation.
No one expected that he would reverse his fate this way. As he was the first to exchange skills, he acquired a significant amount of contribution points. Not only did he exchange these points for more superior skills, divine weapons, and cultivation elixirs from the Academy, but he also temporarily received protection from the Academy and guidance from its esteemed tutors.
In just two short years, his cultivation improved significantly, and he took revenge for his family. He then soared in status, becoming a famous young Martial Artist in the realm.
With such a precedent, many quickly followed suit and began trading their skills for contribution points in large numbers.
While the number of people who rose due to this method wasn’t huge, no Martial Artist considered themselves ordinary. They always believed that they would be the luckiest and the most extraordinary amongst the lot.
While the number of skills was limited, there were endless martial arts techniques. What’s more, Pei Xuanjing had left behind many problems for them to solve. As long as they could contribute with their knowledge, they could still earn contribution points.
Consequently, a new group of Martial Artists emerged. They were not fond of battles, so they never participated in tasks. Instead, they continuously attempted to extrapolate skills and martial arts techniques. They would then exchange these with the Academy, redeem contribution points, and exchange for cultivation resources.”
