Immortal Simulation
Dalvin is a young man who spends his time working on art commissions for online clients while trying to improve his declining fitness. In order to quell his boredom, he downloads a strange mobile app called 'Path of Heaven,' advertised as a free Eastern fantasy-style game with great immersion. However, upon creating his character, an accident occurs, and Dalvin ends up awakening a space/time element physique, which causes him to be dragged into the world of 'Path of Heaven,' known as Tianzi! With his life at stake and only the ability to simulate a certain amount of time into the future, he must navigate his way through this dangerous and cutthroat cultivation world!
Physique Awakening Debt Progress
Unfortunately for martial artists, unlike cultivators, they did not recover their spiritual energy automatically over time by passively absorbing the ambient spirit energy to replenish what they had consumed.
Martial artists had to refine their own energy precisely because they didn't have spirit roots to perform such magical acts. If they had spirit roots, who would waste their precious and limited time with martial arts? They would directly cultivate!
This was also why martial arts could not ascend past the grandmaster realm, which was equivalent to core formation. After all, the Nascent Soul realm was no longer about refining energy, but refining the soul itself, and the amount of energy as well as facilities needed for that could not be supplied by the martial arts of today.
