492 Chapter 492: Life Simulation
As night fell in their bedroom, Xiao Ming glanced at Medusa lying beside him, her glistening skin damp with sweat. He lifted her smooth, white, jade-like arm that was wrapped around him and planted a kiss on her rosy cheeks. When he was sure that she was fast asleep, he carefully pulled away from her embrace, silently pushed open the door to the bedroom, and stepped out into the courtyard.
The courtyard was in the heart of the Snake-People's stronghold within the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Moonlight streamed down from the sky, bathing the courtyard in a crystalline, still-water-like glow. A gentle breeze blew through, causing the shadows of the leaves to sway, creating a unique atmosphere.
However, Xiao Ming had not come to the courtyard just to admire the moonlight.
He sat quietly by the stone table that was standard in these courtyards for a moment before asking in his mind, 'Simulator?'
[Ding! Detected that the host has a chance to simulate life. Would you like to start the simulation?]
A familiar voice echoed in his mind.
Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel emotional. The simulator's assistance seemed to have become increasingly limited since he had reached the Dou Saint realm. Moreover, due to his frequent seclusions, he was unable to use the simulator every time.
[Ding! Do you want to start the simulation?]
The familiar mechanical voice interrupted his thoughts. Coming back to his senses, he replied softly in his mind, 'Start the simulation.'
[Simulation begins -]
[Day 1: You successfully stabilize your realm and emerge from seclusion with Zi Yan. After leaving the secret room, you reunite with your wife, Medusa, and your good friend, Xiao Shan. You later discover that your Master, Elder Huo, has returned to the Jia Nan Academy.]
[Day 2: In the morning, you spend some quality time playing with your daughter. When she gets tired, you start to study alchemy. In the evening, you and Medusa work tirelessly to provide Xiao Yue with a sibling.]
[Day 3: You study alchemy for half a day and successfully create the necessary medicinal liquid for the Great Heaven Creation Palm. Because of its simplicity, you prepare three portions on the spot and give one to Medusa.]
[Day 4: You wander around the clan and happen to meet Xiao Yu's younger sister, Xiao Qing, as well as many younger generations of the Xiao family practicing Dou Techniques. Intrigued, you give them a few pointers on the Dou Techniques, including "Flame Pointing", "Cloud Transformation Palm" and "Mist Step."
In the evening, you meet up with Shi Zi and Xue Tian. Xue Tian has just reached the Dou Emperor realm, while Shi Zi is at the peak of the nine-star Dou Emperor stage. In appreciation of their protection of the Xiao family, you give them some pills to enhance their potential, paving the way for their future promotion to the Dou Emperor realm.
Since the Xiao family's Dou Technique Hall contains numerous techniques up to Di Class, you refrain from giving them any more Dou Techniques.]
[Day 5: Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin come out of seclusion on the last day, so you take your women and daughter to leave the Jia Ma Empire through the wormhole. Venerable Tian Huo stays behind, as you requested.]
[Day 7: You go back into seclusion to break through the Heaven Realm by absorbing Soul Essences.]
...
[Day 17: You are in seclusion.]
[Day 27: Still in seclusion, your Soul Realm has grown noticeably.]
[Day 58: Having successfully broken through the latter stage of the Heaven Realm and achieved the Great Perfection, you feel that you can defeat two of your former selves. Even two Hun Mie Sheng are no threat to you.
As evening falls, you leave your precious daughter in Zi Yan's care and take your wife, Medusa, back to your room, all under Zi Yan's noticeably irritated gaze...]
[Day 78: You successfully refine your first Ninth-Tier Treasure Pill, and your achievement sends shockwaves through Holy Pill City. Your alchemy skills are recognized by the outside world, and you're hailed as a rare Treasure Pill Grandmaster. Later that evening, you spend some quality time with Cao Ying in her courtyard.]
[Day 79: In the morning, Xiao Yi Xian, one of your wives, visits Cao Ying's courtyard to learn alchemy. You spend the rest of the day teaching her.]
[Day 82: Xiao Yi Xian successfully refines a Sixth-Tier Pill for the first time. Excited, she runs into your arms and hugs you tightly. You can feel the temperature in the room begin to rise...]
[Day 83: You spend another night in the courtyard, this time waking up embraced by two enchanting beauties. Cao Ying goes into seclusion in order to break through to the Dou Venerate realm].
...
[Day 92: Accompanied by the Alliance Elders, you travel to the Fallen Mountain Range to fulfill the three-month challenge from the Hall of Souls and emerge victorious.]
[Day 160: You successfully refine a Ninth-Tier Treasure Pill, known as the Nine Revolving Heart Strengthening Pill. This pill increases the success rate of a Half Saint's breakthrough to a Dou Saint by 20%. Since some of the ingredients were provided by Zi Yan, you present the pill to the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe.]
[Day 170: Elders from the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe approach you, seeking your alchemy skills. Given their talent for treasure hunting, they offer generous rewards. It coincides with your desire to improve your alchemy skills, so you accept their request.]
...
[Day 300: The Heavenly Court consolidates its dominance in the Central Plains, while the Hall of Souls gradually fades into obscurity. However, you don't rejoice too much because you know that the retreat of the Hall of Souls from the stage marks the completion of the Devouring Spirit Eliminating Life Formation that they have established in the Central Plains.]
[Day 321: You achieve a breakthrough in your strength, reaching the six-star Dou Saint.]
[Day 325: You awaken in an icy, snowy landscape and retrieve three seven-colored, eighth-tier healing pills called Healing Sovereign Pills from your storage ring. You use them to reduce your injuries].
...
[Day 471: You begin the process of refining a Ninth-Tier Treasure Pill, the Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill, by extracting the medicinal ingredients.]
[Day 572: You continue to extract the medicinal ingredients.]
[Day 588: You successfully refine the Ninth-Tier Treasure Pill.]
[Day 690: The Pill Gathering continues as planned due to the lack of external threats. Many alchemists are drawn to the event, as one of the prizes is the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which ranks ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. You meet several veteran alchemists who show you great respect.]
...
[Day 715: You learn that the Three Thousand Burning Flames hasn't been devoured by anyone, which doesn't surprise you. You travel to the Star Region and extinguish its spiritual intelligence before absorbing it. However, your strength doesn't increase significantly.]
[Day 716: You create a seed flame of the Three Thousand Burning Flame infused with its power. You give it to Cao Ying and help her refine it.]
[Day 750: Due to some news, the Central Plains are in turmoil again, and you receive an invitation from the Gu Clan.]
[Day 752: You arrive at the Gu Realm and meet many of their elders, including their Clan Head, Gu Yuan. After talking about the friendly relations between the two clans, they propose that you marry into their clan, which you refuse. Later, they bring up the current dire situation and express their desire to take the Tou She Ancient God's Jade from you. Knowing that there are spies in the Gu Clan, you refuse again. This angers the elders, but as an advanced six-star Dou Saint and the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Court, they can't do much to you. You part ways on unfriendly terms...]
[Day 753: You meet with Gu Yuan and the others again, and this time they avoid mentioning the Tou She Ancient God's Jade. Instead, they discuss the allocation of the Heavenly Tomb slots with you, and you reclaim the two Xiao Clan slots.]
...
[Day 1230: You gather the necessary medicinal ingredients and begin to attempt to refine a Ninth-Tier Xuan Pill.]
[Day 1596: You enter the Heavenly Tomb.]
[Day 2655: You leave the Heavenly Tomb, and although only half a year has passed in the outside world, your strength has improved significantly.]
[Day 2864: You learn about the emergence of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. You're familiar with many aspects of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, and in the past, you've thought about cultivating a seedling from it. However, this tree is unique, and another one can never grow in the world.]
[Day 2865: To experience the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation under the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and to pursue the other Bodhi Treasures, you venture into the Ancient Wasteland Region.]
...
[Day 3650: You defeat an eight-star Dou Saint from the Hun Clan and refine their essence blood.]
