Dual Cultivation Simulator

Chapter 167: World of Martial Arts and Cultivators Part 2

[You went to the cultivator, found his space ring, and took it. You tried to unlock it using your energy, and found a bunch of things related to cultivation.]

[You weren't surprised. You kept useful things and threw away useless things. Then, you finally checked the bodies of other dead martial artists.]

[During this moment, you couldn't help but think how you were able to fight these people with such ease.]

[While martial artists possessed a strong body, your sword was capable of cutting the iron, making your attacks stronger than their body's defenses.]

[You also became a perfect counter for cultivators, with long-range slashes that you could send now.]

[At the same time, you realized how martial artists and cultivators would keep each other in check and balance.]

[This was done through the martial artist's power to bear the impact of fireballs and wind blades, while cultivators' ability to use long-range attacks.]

[Because of this, it wasn't easy for a cultivator to kill a martial artist and a martial artist to kill a cultivator.]

[But you weren't sure of the ranking for the cultivators. So, you chose to read more information from the loot.]

[Upon reading further, you understood the realms of the cultivators. There were nine realms, just like martial artists.]

[They were, namely, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, True Fusion, Void Breaking, Tribulation Crossing, and Ascension.]

[Unlike Martial Artists, they also had a distinct difference in each realm. Such as Qi Refining Realm, which was divided into twelve stages.]

[Each stage was a milestone, and after crossing each stage, one could reach a point where the person was capable of fighting a stronger Ninth Rank Martial Artist.]

[While cultivators were powerful from afar, they still had a big weakness. It was their lack of stamina and Qi. But this weakness would slowly be covered with their improvement.]

[Knowing this, you couldn't wait to enter the world of cultivation and martial arts.]

[You decided to head into the desert as you had prepared requirements to cross the desert.]

[Age 7- You have entered the desert, but it turned out your destination wasn't to cross the desert, but it was in the desert.]

[You found that the only way for you to gain the result you wanted was through killing a scorpion, the size of an elephant.]

[Not only was it fast. It also carried a poison capable of melting the stone with ease.]

[It was an opponent you possibly couldn't kill. You tried your best, but even the slightest mistake could be your demise.]

[You were left with nothing but a hurdle you couldn't cross. But you weren't just going to give up.]

[You decided to trick the scorpion. Your goal was a cave hidden behind the scorpion. You didn't even know why the scorpion was interested in this cave.]

[You just knew that the thing inside this place was calling you.]

[Eventually, you decided to trick the scorpion away. Knowing that you couldn't do it easily, you decided to find something that could.]

[It was another creature. Another creature with the power to rival the scorpion.]

[So, you went on a hunt to find such a creature.]

[It took only three days before you stumbled upon a rat-like creature with the body of a tiger.]

[You didn't know what it was, and frankly, you didn't care. You just wanted a result, and so you disturbed it.]

[When the creature found your presence annoying, it tried to eat you. But you easily managed to dodge its attack.]

[Only for it suddenly increases its speed and catches you in its claws.]

[Now, you were in grave danger. You thought you were going to die, but didn't want to die so easily.]

[So, you burst out every single drop of energy in your body into a massive shockwave.]

[After freeing yourself, you ran towards the scorpion. The rat-like creature couldn't let you go. You were weak in its eyes, but you managed to escape.]

[It was an insult to its strength. So, it chased after you.]

[Since you used all of your energy in the previous attack, you were slow. So, you started using the weapons from the cultivator to distract the creature.]

[Sometimes you would throw a knife, sometimes a fan, sometimes a large table, stones, but every time you did that, you managed to recover some of your energy.]

[Your action enraged the creature, causing it to chase you with its full strength.]

[With the help of the energy you recovered, you managed to keep pace ahead of the rat-creature.]

[It angrily chased you for a whole day. Since you used the energy to run in the desert, you were able to cross such a large distance in such a short time.]

[Even so, every once in a while, you had to rely on your seven-year-old body to run in the desert to recharge your body.]

[Surprisingly enough, the rat-creature didn't stop chasing you. It was getting excited the more it chased you.]

[You couldn't help but wonder if this rat was a masochist.]

[Once you reach the place, you now have to make sure the rat goes straight for the scorpion.]

[So, you went straight for the scorpion. You didn't care if the scorpion would choose you over the rat or if the rat and scorpion would work together against you.]

[You just went with your heart and jumped into the cave. Startled by your appearance, the scorpion tried to attack you with its tail.]

[But you managed to dodge it. When the rat saw you fighting against the scorpion, it became angry.]

[You were its prey. How could it let someone else kill you, especially when it was having so much fun chasing you?]

[So, it went straight for the scorpion and struck the head of the scorpion with its head.]

[Two creatures started brawling, and you took the opportunity to enter the deeper part of the cave.]

[When you reached this place, you felt a bit confused.]

[Until a certain point, there were a lot of marks and bones on the ground. These were obviously done by the scorpion.]

[But when you crossed a certain distance, the place was spotless. There was nothing but a clear path in front of you.]

[And, you took advantage of that path. You went straight for the end of the cave.]

[And, there, you saw it.]

[A golden skeleton, lying there as if it were a resting place of a mighty person.]

[You could feel your heartbeat soaring. Yes, you were being called by this skeleton.]

[You stepped forward. Your heartbeat increased. Your blood started boiling, and your energy went wild.]

[Because of this scorpion and the rat stopped fighting. But they didn't come closer. It was obvious that they were afraid of this skeleton.]

[At this moment, you heard a voice, saying 'You, yes, you! I was waiting for someone like you to hear my voice.']

['The holder of that technique, the owner of Innate Dao Physique, the one blessed by the Heavenly Dao, the one who can save this world.']

[You were confused. You looked at the skeleton and asked 'Save the world? Is this world in danger? And, what are you talking about, technique? I don't have any Qi Method.']

[Your words seemed to have made the skeleton silent. But it suddenly stood up. You were stunned. You panicked and stepped back.]

['You are the one. I am not mistaken. I will not make a cheap mistake like that.']

['This Universe.... It's cursed. It has lost its Reality Anchor. We, the creatures of this universe, will soon be judged by them.']

['You must step up. You must save this universe. Only you possess the destiny to change this universe.']

['If you do not possess that technique, find it! It belongs to you. Remember, only you can save this world.']

[After the skeleton said those words, it turned into a bright golden light and merged with your body.]

[You felt an intense pain of ten thousand ant bites in your body. You felt like you're being put in boiling water and then cooked in a hot oil.]

[You screamed. You cried. Your previous experiences were helping, but this was still too tough, especially since this skeleton was replacing every bit of yours.]

[When you were being forced to pass this moment, your mind went blank as a new piece of information dawned upon you.]

[Following the energy of the skeleton, your mind comprehended something new. A Qi Method.]

[You instantly understood what it was. The technique you were supposed to have. The technique you chose. It was always within you.]

[You just didn't find it before.]

[Heaven Swallowing Qi Method emerged inside your mind. From the Qi Method emerged several golden words.]

[These golden words encircled a space at a speed unrecognizable by you. Until a bright blue light emerged from the center.]

[Followed by a huge bright blue whirlpool. Those golden words got sucked into the whirlpool, and you had finally comprehended the Heaven Swallowing Qi Method.]

[Thus, starting your journey as a Martial Artist and a Cultivator in this world.]
