I have a cultivation simulator

Chapter 160 Entrapment

[Boundless Realm, Crimson Crow Immortal City, Great Domain Teleportation Array]

A series of spatial fluctuations emerged, causing the void to subtly distort.

[Wow!]

A distorted portal of light formed above the Great Domain Teleportation Array.

Immediately afterwards, a figure staggered out from the portal.

"Is this what it feels like to experience inter-domain teleportation?"

[You steadied yourself and realized you hadn't encountered the minuscule spatial storm, but had successfully teleported from the Purple Cloud Domain to the Boundless Domain.]

[You weren't surprised by this. Before you prepared to board the inter-domain teleportation array, you deliberately spent a month of your lifespan to divine your fate.]

[Your divination skills have reached the upper level of the third tier. Considering a month's lifespan for further divination, the accuracy is beyond question.]

The final hexagram is a neutral one, indicating neither opportunity nor danger.

In short, the divination indicates that you will successfully reach the Avici Hell.

This is the source of your confidence to enter the inter-domain teleportation array.

[This simulation has just begun, and you still have a lot to do. Naturally, you can't afford to die during the inter-domain teleportation.]

"It's said that all True Immortals who pass through the inter-domain teleportation array for the first time experience various discomforts, but I'm fine."

You thought to yourself, during the inter-domain teleportation array just now, you did feel a strange sense of spatial pressure, but you easily withstood it thanks to your late-stage third-tier physical body.

【"The Infernal Realm!"】

You looked around, your gaze sweeping over each of the real people.

Basically, only Core Formation stage cultivators and True Monarchs use inter-domain teleportation arrays.

As for Foundation Establishment cultivators? Firstly, they simply cannot afford the required amount of spirit stones.

Secondly, during teleportation, one will experience a certain degree of spatial pressure, which may not be able to withstand even for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

That's why you see so many Core Formation stage cultivators at a glance.

[The inter-domain teleportation array area is basically only used by Core Formation stage cultivators.]

"Eight at the early stage of Core Formation, sixteen at the middle stage of Core Formation, and three at the late stage of Core Formation..."

You were secretly alarmed. In the Taiyuan Domain, it was rare to see a Grand True Person in the late Core Formation stage, but here, you could see three of them right before your eyes.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that it is considered powerful even among Core Formation stage cultivators, and thus qualifies as an inter-domain teleportation array.

[In this way, the number of powerful cultivators naturally increased in the later stages.]

"The secrets of heaven..."

Upon first arriving in the Boundless Realm, you attempt to sense the vast, unseen web of celestial secrets.

【"Um?"】

You vaguely sense that the Heavenly Secrets Network of the Boundless Domain is far more obscure than that of the Taiyuan Domain and the surrounding major domains.

[It's the influence of a fourth-level divination master...]

1

You look solemn, gazing into a distant direction.

[This is a level that only a master of divination can perceive. In the far distance in the direction you are looking, lies the core of the omnipresent Heavenly Secrets Network of the Boundless Realm. There exists there an being whose every move influences the Heavenly Secrets Network that covers the Boundless Realm.]

[Master of Divination!]

You can't imagine who else, besides the Grandmaster of Divination, could have such an influence on the Heavenly Secrets Network.

"This is where the Hall of No Interruption is located..."

.」】

[Your thoughts raced. The Boundless Palace is overseen by a fourth-tier lower-level divination master—information you hadn't received before.]

[The Boundless Domain is dominated by the Boundless Palace, which is overseen by a mid-Nascent Soul True Monarch and several early-Nascent Soul cultivators.]

Beneath the Hall of No Return lie four Nascent Soul level forces: the Crimson Crow Sect, Corpse-Raising Mountain, Nine Li Valley, and Silver Moon Merchant Guild.

The Crimson Crow Sect follows the ancient Crimson Crow lineage. Its cultivators are known for their volatile tempers and ruthless killing. The Crimson Crow Immortal City where you are now is one of the many immortal cities controlled by the Crimson Crow Sect.

[The Corpse-Raising Mountain is a sect that inherits the tradition of corpse cultivation, practicing corpse refining and raising—a heretical path.]

[Jiuli Valley is a sect specializing in body cultivation. Since the end of the ancient era, with the scarcity of natural resources, the body cultivation lineage has completely declined.]

[But it's only declining, not disappearing. There are no pure body cultivation sects around the Taiyuan Domain, but the Jiuli Valley in the Wujian Domain follows the path of body cultivation.]

As for the Silver Moon Merchant Guild, it is a super-large merchant guild that serves as a trade channel connecting the Boundless Domain with other surrounding large domains and even super domains.

The Silvermoon Merchant Guild is not as strict as sects; it is more inclusive.

[Numerous pieces of information related to the Boundless Realm flash through your mind.]

This intelligence was gathered during your last simulation. There may be some errors, but it should be largely accurate.

"The mysterious Purgatory Forest in the Boundless Realm is controlled by the Silver Moon Merchant Guild..."

You thought to yourself

The Boundless Realm is rich in resources. Even in ancient times, this region was quite prosperous and contained many mysterious places.

The Purgatory Forest is one of them, containing countless illusions.

Many Core Formation stage cultivators venture deep into the Purgatory Forest to temper their mental state.

Your main purpose in coming to the Boundless Realm is to visit the mysterious Purgatory Forest.

"Silver Moon Merchant Guild?"

Don't worry too much, Weiwei. If the Purgatory Forest is controlled by another sect, getting in will definitely not be easy.

[However, the Silver Moon Merchant Guild? Since it's a merchant guild, it's simply a matter of spirit stones.]

"This Crimson Crow Immortal City is extremely prosperous due to the inter-domain teleportation array, attracting numerous True Immortal cultivators from distant domains..."

You leave the teleportation area, intending to take a stroll around.

Because you've cleared out the demonic and evil cultivators from the desolate areas near the Taiyuan Domain, you're now quite well-off. If you come across any materials that interest you, you'll naturally buy them.

[A month later, at a medium-sized auction house in Chiwu Immortal City, you frequently made purchases, buying up some third-tier treasures and resources that you desired.]

In addition, you visited several large stores.

As you prepared to leave Crimson Crow Immortal City and head towards the Purgatory Forest, you vaguely sensed that several hidden divine senses had already locked onto you.

"Huh, do I look that easy to bully?"

You secretly shook your head, trying your best to maintain the fluctuations of your mana at the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Your high-profile bidding at the auction is bound to attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives.

These people will definitely have other ideas when they see that you only have a mid-stage Golden Core cultivation level but are already quite wealthy.

[Killing and robbing are commonplace in the cultivation world. In the Taiyuan Domain, a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator is enough to intimidate a region. However, in the Wujian Domain, there are quite a few mid-stage Core Formation cultivators.]

"Hopefully I can catch a few big fish..."

You thought to yourself, "The cultivation level you've displayed is quite ingenious."

If one were stronger, reaching the late stage of Core Formation, it would be enough to deter most of those who covet it.

Even in the Boundless Domain, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator is considered a powerhouse below the True Monarch level. Ordinary Tribulation cultivators have no chance against such a True Monarch.

[What if he's weaker, only at the early stage of Core Formation? The cultivators aren't stupid. Would someone with only early Core Formation cultivation dare to flaunt their wealth at an auction? Could it be a trap? That would scare away even more people.]

[Mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, neither too high nor too low, just right]

The reason you did this is naturally because you've just arrived in the Boundless Realm and want to learn about its detailed information as quickly as possible.

The fastest way is through direct soul searching.

[How easy is it to search the soul of a Core Formation cultivator?]

[If we encounter a Core Formation cultivator with powerful connections, wouldn't directly searching their soul create an enemy?]

In the Boundless Realm, due to that divination master, the difficulty of your divination has increased significantly.

[In addition, there are five Nascent Soul level forces in the Boundless Domain, including the Boundless Palace. A considerable number of Core Formation cultivators have some connection with a Nascent Soul level force, which will interfere with your occupation.]

So you've decided to use a sting operation to deliberately attract some Core Formation cultivators to attack you.

Then if you take action, it would be considered self-defense.

[This way, even if the truth comes out later, there will still be room for reconciliation.]

You swaggered away from Chiwu Immortal City.

[About half an hour later, in a desolate place, you faintly sense the presence of your pursuers behind you.]

"These four True Immortals are all at the mid-stage of Core Formation, and one of them is even at the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation?"

You secretly estimated that with your current strength, you could easily sweep aside even four late-stage Core Formation Grandmasters.

[A hundred or two miles away, four streaks of light flew at top speed]

These four streaks of light are naturally the four mid-stage True Immortals who are tracking you.

The leading figure of light was a purple-haired man with immense magical power, faintly approaching the late stage of Core Formation.

"Brother, we've found out everything about this person. A month ago, he used the inter-domain teleportation array to arrive in Chiwu Immortal City, and then he started going in and out of various shops to buy spiritual materials..."

Behind the purple-haired man, a mid-stage True Person quickly said, "This person shouldn't be a cultivator from the Boundless Domain... He's only at the mid-stage, yet he has such a grand scheme; he must have some background in his domain..."

[The wealth you've displayed this past month is comparable to that of a late-stage Core Formation Grandmaster.]

"What does the background of your original domain matter in my Boundless Domain?"

Another mid-stage Core Formation cultivator scoffed, "Even Nascent Soul level disciples from other major domains have to shrink back when they come to the Boundless Domain."

"When you make your move, don't hold back; finish this as quickly as possible."

The purple-haired man cautioned, "Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Who knows if you have other hidden tricks up your sleeve? Like a high-grade third-tier talisman, etc."

【"clear!"】

The three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators nodded in agreement.

Even a powerful cultivator at the Core Formation stage would find it difficult to earn enough resources for their own cultivation without possessing a profound skill.

There are many true masters in the Boundless Realm, and the competition among them is quite intense.

"Wait two more hours until we are completely away from Chiwu Immortal City before making our move!"

The purple-haired man spoke, setting the time for their attack.

[Stay away from Chiwu Immortal City not only to avoid being detected by the cultivators there, but also to prevent True Immortal Cultivators leaving or heading to Chiwu Immortal City from passing by.]

[To avoid leaving any clues]

This is also the experience that the purple-haired man has accumulated over many years of secretly cultivating and robbing others.

The matter of murder and robbery must never be brought to the forefront.

"Still hanging there?"

You flew leisurely at the normal speed of a mid-stage True Immortal, glanced behind you, and immediately understood the four mid-stage True Immortals' plan: "Want to wait until they're some distance away before making a move?"

"Hmm? There's another late-stage Grandmaster following us further away?"

Your expression turned slightly serious. Three or four hundred miles away, a very subtle aura was approaching.

[Three or four hundred miles away? That's beyond the range of your divine sense. You only noticed the clues by using a secret detection technique.]

"Sigh, the security situation in the Infernal Domain isn't very good."

"9

2

You secretly marvel at how, just by showing off a little wealth, you've attracted the greed of so many mid-stage True Immortals, and even late-stage Great True Immortals.

They flew for another two hours.

A gray valley appears ahead.

You pretend to be slightly exhausted and go into the valley to rest.

Before long, the purple-haired man and three other figures silently approached.

To avoid being detected by your divine sense, the four mid-stage True Persons with purple hair are currently keeping their auras barely perceptible, and dare not even release their divine sense, for fear of alerting you and giving you time to prepare.

"The tracking technique indicates that they are inside, likely resting and recovering their mana."

[A mid-stage Real Person spoke in a low voice]

"Once we're inside, use that method immediately, understand?"

The purple-haired man glanced at the three mid-stage True Immortals. They had mastered some kind of combined secret technique, and when unleashed, they could barely unleash the strength of a late-stage Great True Immortal.

【"Know!"】

[The three mid-stage experts nodded in agreement]

Led by the purple-haired man, the four mid-stage True Immortals instantly rushed into the gray valley.

Before long, another subtle presence approached.

[This was an elderly man dressed in black, with a cold gaze, staring at the valley.]

"Zi Sui and the other three should have already gone in and captured that kid. If I sneak in now, I can reap the benefits without lifting a finger..."

A hint of smugness appeared on the old man's face.

He values ​​not only you, but also the four mid-stage True Immortals, including the purple-haired man.

[Your worth is comparable to that of an ordinary late-stage Grand True Person, and with the four mid-stage True Persons including the purple-haired man, it's entirely worth it for a late-stage Grand True Person like him to take action.]

The old man in black was about to enter the gray valley to clean up the mess.

Suddenly, the old man in black frowned slightly. "Even though Zi Sui and the other three are well prepared, there hasn't been a single sound coming from the valley so far..."

In the eyes of the old man in black, you are ultimately a mid-stage True Person. Even if you are surrounded and attacked by four True Persons of the same level, you can at least make some noise.

Even for a late-stage Grand Master like him, killing a mid-stage Grand Master wouldn't be done without making a sound.

But now, the gray valley is as still as death, without the slightest sound.

"There's a problem!"

The old man in black hesitated, his step toward the entrance to the gray valley halting.

Just then

【Om—】

A giant hand, entirely formed of magical power, appeared out of thin air and slowly grasped him, much to the astonishment of the old man in black.

[During this time, the old man in black struggled fiercely, and terrifying fluctuations of magical power surged forth, but all of it was to no avail.]

[He could only watch helplessly as the powerful magical hand carried him rapidly back into the gray valley.]
