The Wizard Path From The Simulator

It was not because Milton Cheney’s comprehension was not against the heavens.

Rather, it was because he had not yet reached the end on the Path of Cultivation and the Wizard Path.

If he could traverse both paths of cultivation simultaneously, then Milton Cheney was fairly confident in making some substantial inferences.

For now, he was at most a half-baked practitioner.

Even if one with high comprehension were half-baked, the likelihood of inferring higher-level concepts was slim.

Fortunately, Milton Cheney still had ample time.

It was always correct to attempt something.

After all, at his current state in the Unification Realm, it was no longer possible to progress any further.

He still had a long life ahead, and it would be too meaningless to do nothing without trying.

“I must say, after unifying, the entire world looks different to me,” Milton Cheney mused to himself with a faint smile after a moment of contemplative sitting.

This kind of thought would have been impossible for the former Milton Cheney, of course.

He was well aware of his own strength, no one knew it better than he did.

Milton Cheney never lacked self-awareness.

It was evident from the moment he curbed his ambition and joined the Lotus Sacred Ground.

“What thought?”

“It’s nothing, just talking to myself,” Milton Cheney replied, not at all surprised by the sudden appearance of the white-robed elder before him.

“I really didn’t misjudge you. Achieving Unification in your first life—perhaps you’ll become an immortal sooner than I will,” the Lotus Monarch said, a trace of unmistakable joy in his voice.

At his stage of life, it was rare for him to experience emotions.

Nevertheless, Milton Cheney had managed to stir his feelings.

After all, witnessing the birth of a Unification Dao Monarch right before his eyes was quite fulfilling, especially since this new Unification Dao Monarch had succeeded on his first life, enhancing the sense of accomplishment even further.

“I still owe you thanks for your help,” said Milton Cheney earnestly.

His gratitude was genuine.

Although he had agreed to the Lotus Monarch’s conditions—putting them more in a cooperative relationship—household affairs were best known within the family.

He only had this life, after all, and was certainly not the reincarnation that the Lotus Monarch imagined.

Without the Lotus Monarch’s assistance, Milton Cheney’s chances of a successful breakthrough would have been very low.

“It was a small matter. But now that you have broken through, you should formally take over the sacred ground. I don’t have many years left in this life,” the Lotus Monarch said.

“Had it not been for you, I might have given up the Lotus Sacred Ground altogether. This sacred ground was just opened by me in this reincarnation, so it can’t be said to have a profound legacy,” the Lotus Monarch admitted candidly.

He was telling the truth; after all, there was nothing for him to hide from Milton Cheney.

Both were in the Unification Realm, and now their relationship was one of equals.

Milton Cheney nodded at the Lotus Monarch’s words and didn’t refuse.

After all, it was something he had already agreed to. Naturally, he wouldn’t refuse, nor could he.

Because he had made a great oath before his breakthrough.

This oath was not something that could be violated—as part of this world, Milton Cheney could not escape the scrutiny of the dao.

Moreover, Milton Cheney had no intention of defying it.

In truth, both the dao of this world and the Lotus Monarch had been gracious to him.

The Power of Merit was actually a condensation of the world’s dao.

If not for the help of the Power of Merit in this life, Milton Cheney might not have been talking about becoming a Unification Dao Monarch; he might have reached his endpoint in the Nascent Soul Realm.

“Do you want to change the name of the sacred ground?” the Lotus Monarch, now seemingly interested, sat cross-legged and started a conversation with Milton Cheney.

“No need, let’s continue using this name,” Milton Cheney responded.

“It is good, too. After all, these sacred grounds pale in comparison to those of the Ancient Immortal Realm,” the Lotus Monarch said.

“Oh? Are there some secrets?” Milton Cheney asked with a hint of interest, his curiosity piqued.

Although he had a deep understanding of the Immortal Realm, it all depended on who he was compared with.

If compared to the Lotus Monarch before him, Milton Cheney estimated that what he knew might not even amount to one percent of what the Lotus Monarch knew.

After all, with countless reincarnation cycles added up, the things he knew were definitely beyond imagination.

In such a situation, Milton Cheney naturally didn’t mind being a listener.

Moreover, he was very interested in the ancient era of cultivation not recorded in the scriptures of the Cultivation Realm.

Seeing Milton Cheney’s curiosity, the Lotus Monarch chuckled lightly and, without keeping him in suspense, began to speak:

“In the Ancient Immortal Realm, the status of Holy Lands was extremely revered.”

“The fundamental reason is only one, that is, the ancient Holy Lands existed to cultivate Immortal Beings.”

“All Holy Lands that have cultivated Immortal Beings are called Reincarnation Sacred Lands and hold great renown throughout the entire Cultivation Realm.”

Milton Cheney slowly nodded upon hearing this.

Cultivating Immortal Beings?

It did sound exceedingly grand.

“So, do these kinds of Holy Lands still exist in the Cultivation Realm today?”

“Of course they do, but not in the Northern Immortal Continent.”

“Are there many?”

“How could that be possible? I reckon at most there wouldn’t be more than three. Moreover, these Sacred Grounds have existed for countless eons; wanting to find them is next to impossible.”

“Unfindable? Wouldn’t these kinds of Sacred Grounds recruit openly?”

“Reincarnation Sacred Lands are hidden from the world. It is said that only those with the Talent of an Immortal Being would be summoned.”

“Logically speaking, you actually meet the criteria. It’s just unclear why no Holy Emissary has come to guide you. However, that’s also a good thing; otherwise, if they had come, I wouldn’t have my chance.”

“Is there some special benefit to joining a Reincarnation Sacred Land?”

As the two Monarchs conversed softly, at Milton Cheney’s question, the Lotus Monarch didn’t reply immediately.

A flash of eagerness, mixed with longing and greed, passed through his eyes at that moment.

Milton Cheney grew curious upon witnessing this scene.

What was this about?

Could it be that the question he asked was somehow special?

The Lotus Monarch didn’t make Milton Cheney wait too long, as the emotions he had shown weren’t meant to be concealed from him.

After an instant, the Lotus Monarch spoke up, “Yes, you guessed right. There isn’t just benefit involved, but an irresistible great benefit.”

“What is it?”

“Reincarnation Marks!”

“Reincarnation Marks?”

Milton Cheney was a bit confused.

He could be certain that this term was new to him.

At least, in this world he knew of, he had not yet come across this concept.

The Lotus Monarch nodded and explained:

“Reincarnation Marks are just what we call them; they can also be known as Immortal Being Marks, Dao Achievement Seals.”

“The use of Reincarnation Marks is simple; they mark a person, and afterward, no matter how many times that person reincarnates, as long as they do, the Reincarnation Sacred Land can locate them right away.”

With this statement, even Milton Cheney slightly furrowed his brows.

The message was not hard to grasp.

And he immediately understood the significance of these Reincarnation Marks.

But this… seemed a bit too far-fetched.

Milton Cheney wasn’t shocked at the revelation, instead, he felt that the Reincarnation Marks didn’t quite ring true.

After all, if it were truly so, wouldn’t everyone in the Cultivation Realm have the opportunity to achieve immortality?

After all, no matter how weak someone’s talent, it could change after reincarnation.

With just a Reincarnation Mark and the uncompromising cultivation of a Sacred Ground, wouldn’t becoming immortal be trivial?

“Sounds somewhat untrue.”

Milton Cheney spoke his true thoughts.

He indeed thought so and said so outright.

“Indeed.”

“Very unreal, but it is indeed true because I have personally witnessed someone with a Reincarnation Mark, an Immortal Seed.”

“Perhaps there are some limitations; otherwise, if just anyone could inscribe a Reincarnation Mark, then I reckon the entire Cultivation Realm could achieve immortality.”

The Lotus Monarch said with a somewhat complex tone.
