The Wizard Path From The Simulator

But that era was, after all, nearly ten million years ago from today.

In such a magnificent river of time, the body cultivation method had long been cast into the dregs of the temporal flow.

After numerous verifications, the Ascension Immortal Method was proven to be the most perfect path.

This was well known in the Cultivation Realm, by the majority.

At least, Blazing Sun True Monarch had never heard of anyone in the Northern Thirteen Domains or within the Four Nations pursuing the path of body cultivation.

However, what Blazing Flame True Monarch didn’t know was that the role of [Five Viscera Spiritual Fire] was far from just that.

At the very least, he was unaware that [Five Viscera Spiritual Fire] could be used to burn within the Nascent Soul to refine spiritual energy.

After all, compared to refining blood and flesh, refining spiritual energy is the greatest help to cultivators.

If the realm is likened to a towering tree, then spiritual power is the soil of this towering tree.

If Blazing Sun True Monarch knew about this, perhaps he might indeed harbor a hint of greed.

Of course, Milton Cheney would not actively speak of this, and likewise, Blazing Flame True Monarch would not actively inquire.

Everyone has their own secrets, after all.

Indiscriminately prying into others’ secrets, if one encounters a cultivator with a bad temper, might result in a fight to the death.

This is also why Blazing Sun True Monarch, even if envious, only watches from a distance without making a sound.

The next moment, his thoughts shifted slightly.

Simultaneously, elsewhere.

Above the spiritual veins, Milton Cheney, having completed the final step of his breakthrough, exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his whole demeanor had completely transformed.

If the previous Milton Cheney’s aura was calm and gentle, then now his aura was like an unsheathed sharp sword.

It carried a sense of sharpness.

Not just sharpness, there was also a scorching heat.

If an ordinary person were standing in front of Milton Cheney right now, even without Milton doing anything, that person would be reduced to ashes by his mere presence.

“Success, Nascent Soul late stage, I didn’t expect that even with thorough preparations, the breakthrough would not be easy.”

“To continue cultivating to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection will likely be another long journey.”

Feeling the change in the spiritual power within his body, Milton Cheney murmured to himself.

The next moment, he retracted the aura around his body.

At this time, he could be considered the strongest cultivator in the Four Nations Domain.

But this was after all just the Nascent Soul late stage, although he was already the strongest cultivator in the Four Nations Domain, it was still far too early to become complacent.

Cultivation is like rowing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will fall back.

If one became arrogant and complacent over a little achievement, then Milton would not have chosen reincarnation in this world.

Fortunately, Milton has never been one to get too emotional over a little gain.

Although there was a little hiccup in this breakthrough, overall, for Milton, it went smoothly.

Thinking this, Milton momentarily put aside the thoughts in his mind.

Because at this moment, two more people had appeared in his Cave Mansion.

These two were the other two Elders of the Purple Melody True Sect.

“Fellow Daoist.”

“Congratulations Fellow Daoist on advancing a step further, the great Dao is within sight!”

Blazing Sun True Monarch addressed him as an equal, and Milton naturally could not afford to lose face.

“It’s all thanks to a favorable opportunity.”

Milton replied with a light smile.

He wasn’t lying, after all⁠—it was indeed the truth.

If he hadn’t received the Power of Merit, then breaking through to his current realm would have taken at least ten times longer.

In other words, just a few strands of the Power of Merit had spared Milton thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

“Fellow Daoist, if what I saw earlier is correct, did you fuse with a heavenly spiritual fire?”

A short while later, Blazing Sun True Monarch spoke.

Curiosity was evident on his face.

No sooner had he finished speaking, a look of envy appeared on the face of another Elder standing by his side.

Heavenly spiritual fire?

How did he acquire such a precious treasure?

But the next moment, he somewhat understood.

All this time, he had regarded Milton Cheney as his junior, but he had overlooked the fact that his junior possessed an exceptionally monstrous talent.

Reflecting now, it doesn’t seem impossible for Milton Cheney to have obtained the Heavenly Spirit Fire,

After all, to have reached the latter stage of Nascent Soul so young, his foundation and opportunities must certainly be remarkable.

Moreover, he once read in an ancient tome that there are those in this world specially favored by Heaven and Earth.

It is said these individuals, whether exploring Mystic Realms or making a Realm Breakthrough, progress with unparalleled ease, and their Cultivation speed is also exceedingly fast.

Even those with ordinary Spiritual Roots might have a certain chance of becoming Immortal Beings.

Could it be that Milton Cheney is such a person, cherished and favored by the cosmos?

With this thought, the True Monarch shook his head and cast aside further contemplation.

Instead, he remained silent, standing to one side, as if by nature disinclined to conversation.

“Indeed, it is a Heavenly Spiritual Fire, though relatively common, suitable only for Body Cultivation as the [Five Viscera Spiritual Fire].”

“My smooth Breakthrough to the later stage of Nascent Soul was also aided by this Spiritual Fire.”

Milton Cheney said with a light smile.

He naturally knew what the Blazing Sun True Monarch was thinking, so he offered an explanation.

What he mentioned was already known to the Blazing Sun True Monarch.

As for the details not recorded in any scripture and known only to him, Milton naturally did not disclose them.

“Thank you for the clarification, Fellow Daoist.”

Upon hearing Milton’s words, the Blazing Sun True Monarch’s voice carried a slight note of gratitude.

Telling him outright was a sign of trust from Milton, so gratitude was naturally his response.

The next moment, the Blazing Sun True Monarch’s expression slowly turned serious.

After a brief pause, he spoke,

“Fellow Daoist, I and the second elder are about to enter secluded meditation for a Breakthrough to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul; we would be grateful for your care over the Sect in our absence.”

“Such trivial matters do not require your attention. Should the Sect face a calamity, we hope you can lend a hand.”

Having said this, he respectfully bowed his body.

In the Cultivation Realm, strength commands respect.

Although Milton is younger than they are, his Realm is much higher.

Therefore, it was only proper to address him with honorifics.

Hearing this, a solemn expression also appeared on Milton’s face as he waved his spiritual power to help the Blazing Sun True Monarch rise.

He then spoke earnestly, “Of course, you can rest assured and focus on your seclusion.”

In fact, even if the Blazing Sun True Monarch hadn’t mentioned it, Milton was not planning on leaving the Sect anytime soon.

He had received many favors from the Purple Melody True Sect, and naturally, he would not stand idly by if the Sect was in trouble.

After chatting with Milton for a while, the two Supreme Elders took their leave.

Ordinarily, they needed to Cultivate as well and thus could not linger with Milton.

Their visit this time was prompted by Milton’s breakthrough disturbance that interrupted their Cultivation.

Perhaps in less than a hundred years, they would be entering their final seclusion.

By now, both of them were nearing the end of their lifespans.

Without Milton, perhaps they would have pooled their resources for one person to make a Small Realm Breakthrough.

This way, they could have sheltered the Purple Melody True Sect for a few more centuries.

But now that the Sect had produced a genius like Milton, they no longer needed to worry about such things.

At this moment, they could prepare for their final Breakthrough with peace of mind.

Having Milton’s experience to draw upon, and after witnessing his Nascent Soul Small Realm Breakthroughs at close range, they now had some confidence.

It was just that their confidence wasn’t quite strong enough yet.

They had actually tried to progress to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul before, but had failed.

This final secluded meditation, as their lifespans dwindled, might be their last chance.

Because if they fail, they would not have another opportunity to Breakthrough before their time comes to an end.

Whether they can grasp this one chance, only they would know.

As the two left, Milton’s gaze also drifted off.

The next moment, with a thought, a red gem appeared in his hand.

……

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, another three hundred and fifty years had gone by.

One day, a dazzling flame obscured the sky.

The Purple Melody Mystic Realm once again plunged into turmoil.
