It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

At first, others were curious about how long it would take you to get out, but later they gradually forgot about it.

[But Chai Yashi, without fail, comes to check on you every single day.]

[She naturally cannot enter your meditation room. The only things she can do each day are check the spirit stone consumption in your room and make sure you've come out.]

[The excessive consumption of spiritual energy is definitely abnormal. Such an exaggerated throughput can only be explained by one thing: you are constantly breaking through your limits inside.]

[But no one can guess what it will be like when you come out.]

[After entering the meditation room, you broke through all obstacles in less than a week, eventually reaching the peak of the Golden Core stage.]

You initially thought you could easily advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but you suddenly realized that using one of these methods to reach that stage seemed somewhat inappropriate for you.

For the past six months, you've been relentlessly honing your skills every single day.

[You need to elevate your other cultivation paths to the Golden Core stage as well; only then can you enter the Nascent Soul stage.]

Half a year isn't a long time, but it's not short either, yet you've already become so immersed in it that you've forgotten how much time has passed.

[The moment you elevate your final realm to the peak of the Golden Core stage, you sense something and thus attempt a breakthrough!]

【…】

"What's going on in the quiet room? Why has the energy consumption suddenly increased?"

The disciple on duty suddenly noticed that the spirit stone reserves had dropped significantly.

He had never seen such an exaggerated rate of energy consumption.

Even during Han Tao's first week in the meditation room, he didn't experience such intense exertion.

"How many people are inside?" the elder in charge of the area asked.

"Three!"

"Three?" The elder was taken aback. "This commotion suggests they might be breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Elder, those who break through to the Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to enter here, have you forgotten?"

Entering the Nascent Soul stage is usually accompanied by calamities of heaven and earth; one cannot withstand the lightning tribulation here.

At most, only the Golden Core stage is allowed to break through.

Such a commotion doesn't seem like something a Golden Core cultivator could create.

"Who is there?"

"Han...Tao!"

The other two were taken away by the elders.

With such a commotion, this place is probably not very safe.

The news that Han Tao was about to break through spread throughout the entire sect in an instant.

This person has only been in the sect for three years and has already become a Golden Core cultivator. Now, on the day of the newcomers' entry, he has finally chosen to try to break through.

The sky was filled with flying boats, and many people were watching this place.

"Sect Master, this little fellow is quite interesting."

He comprehended a sword technique during his tribulation. In the seven years that followed, he took many detours. And now, he's managed to create such a commotion.

This kid's talent is truly terrifying.

The elder who was playing chess with the sect leader also sensed the commotion.

Having only been in the sect for ten years, he broke through his cultivation level and entered the Nascent Soul stage.

Although not the fastest in the sect, it is still among the top.

If this kid hadn't been involved in so many other things and had focused solely on swordsmanship, he might have already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

"Sigh, I've tried to persuade him a few times, but Han Tao has his own ideas. I thought he would stay at the Golden Core stage for the rest of his life. I never expected that he would actually try to break through now."

The sect leader smiled. Although the path of cultivation is long, it's not something Han Tao can do in this way.

Wasting your time on other things is irresponsible to anyone.

However, it now seems that Han Tao's chosen path is probably different from that of others.

He wants to be perfect in multiple areas!

Once you break through, your combat ability will be absolutely unmatched among those of the same level.

However, under normal circumstances, such a person will never be able to enter the Nascent Soul stage in their lifetime.

After all, to achieve the perfection of the Golden Core, all that is needed is perfection in one's path.

Achieving perfection in multiple fields is something that is impossible for others.

[The quiet room ultimately couldn't withstand it; the commotion of your breakthrough shattered before the tribulation lightning even struck.]

Thick, ominous clouds gathered above the sect.

This magnificent scene was clearly witnessed by the disciples who had come from the secular world.

As they wondered who it was, your figure slowly rose into the air.

At the same time, the first bolt of lightning struck!

[A surge of immense energy exploded instantly on your body. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator, faced with such terrifying power fluctuations, would only have the urge to flee.]

[Yet you stroll leisurely amidst the thunder, showing no fear whatsoever of the rolling lightning!]

When the second lightning bolt struck, you actually caught it steadily with your palm, and then used this lightning to summon a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

[Many people, overseeing this scene, racked their brains but couldn't guess what you were planning. But the elder in charge of weapon forging stared at you in disbelief. He knew perfectly well that you were going to use the lightning tribulation to forge a new weapon for yourself.]

He never imagined that a casual remark he made to you back then would become a reality before his very eyes today.

[Ordinary cultivators must go all out when facing a tribulation of lightning.]

Only then can one safely weather this storm.

No one dares to treat the tribulation lightning as nothing as you do.

Not to mention forging a new magic weapon under this thunder.

This action has truly shocked many people.

Even the sect leader had lost all interest in playing chess at this moment, looking up at you, who were now trapped under the clouds of calamity.

He never expected that you would choose such a crazy way to transcend tribulation.

As someone in the Tribulation Transcending stage, the tribulations he experienced were increasingly terrifying.

[They even lacked the confidence to successfully overcome the tribulation and break through the boundary to ascend.]

[The sect leader cannot imagine just how terrifying the tribulations someone like you will face after entering the Tribulation Transcending stage.]

But that's all in the future. Right now, you are still the most prominent figure in the Qingyun Sect!

The nine tribulations of lightning are like toys in your hands.

[They pose no threat to you.]

[You infused the power of the lightning tribulation into celestial meteorite iron, forging yourself a unique longsword.]

You named it the Thunder Tribulation Sword!

The extraordinary feat of forging the sword through lightning tribulation not only spurred the newcomers from the mortal world this year, but also inspired all the new disciples in the sects over the past thirty years.

They never expected that the tribulation lightning could be handled in this way!

[Blessed by the divine intervention following the tribulation, a number of cultivators within the Qingyun Sect unexpectedly broke through to higher levels.]

You feel a sense of fulfillment in your state of being, and your heart is filled with satisfaction.

However, you looked up at the sky and seemed to sense something was amiss when you survived the lightning tribulation...

Chapter 208 Trapped

You clearly have a feeling that you're being spied on.

[But within the Qingyun Sect, beneath the tribulation clouds, who would pay attention to a mere youth who has only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?]

[Could it be the sect leader?]

[Just then, your master summoned you, and you directly asked this question.]

The sect leader simply smiled and said bluntly, "Given the commotion you've caused, it's hard not to notice you."

People from other sects had already come to inquire, but he had dismissed them all with various excuses.

The sect leader is very satisfied with your breakthrough.

[They caused such a huge commotion and pulled off such a brilliant sword-forging technique using lightning tribulation.]

This actually brought him a bit of enjoyment during this long and tedious period of tribulation.

However, the sect leader is also reminding you that the path you are about to take is extremely difficult, requiring you to forge a path simultaneously across numerous fields.

The difficulty will increase as you progress. You're currently only at the Nascent Soul stage, so it's not too late to change your path. However, once you reach the Deity Transformation stage, changing your path will become extremely difficult.

By then, there will be no turning back.

[At that point, it's highly likely that they'll be stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for their entire lives.]

Throughout history, there have been geniuses who were able to defy those in higher realms.

Even the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator can only defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator at most. They might even be extremely powerless against a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if one only takes one path, if one can enter the tribulation stage, there is still a possibility of ascending to the upper realm.

That's all I have to say; the path you must choose is yours.

Even if the sect leader is powerful, he cannot control your choices.

Before you left, the sect leader gave you a storage ring. It contains more than just the resources you'll need for your Nascent Soul cultivation.

[Among them were even more numerous were alchemy arrays, talismans, and artifacts—cultivation techniques within these fields.]

Although the sect leader verbally forbids it, he still wants to see how far you can go on this path.

Now that you have reached the Nascent Soul stage, the sect should, in principle, establish another peak for you.
