Chapter 159 Foundation Building 9rd Floor
The banquet was a great success with the help of the Xuan Turtle Demon General. The reputation of Mingxi and Jiaolong Palace was also spread. Most importantly, the two Qi Refining stage kings of the two streams around Mingxi, Xiaochuan Stream and Nuanyang Stream, were willing to give up their territory, only hoping that Gu Yuchuan could give them some resources.
Gu Yuchuan was naturally willing. He gave each of them a top-grade magic weapon, which was worth about a thousand spirit stones. They were very happy to give up their territory. The stream under the control of the Flood Dragon Palace changed from one to three. However, the three streams were connected, so for convenience, Gu Yuchuan named them all Mingxi.
Now, with only a few days left until the Dragon Gate Selection Tournament, Gu Yuchuan decided to simulate it again. He still didn't know what the Dragon Gate Selection Tournament was all about, and the unknown always made him feel insecure.
He returned to his room and prepared to begin the simulation, lying down in his comfortable bed.
[Congratulations, host, on starting the twenty-fifth simulation. We will now begin drawing talents.]
[Ring ring, ring ring, the alarm clock is ringing, reminding the host to wash their hands before drawing the card.]
It had been a long time since he'd simulated the game, and he'd almost forgotten the process. Before drawing cards, he had to take a bath and burn incense. He got up and took a good bath, feeling completely clean. Then he lit the sandalwood incense he was used to, and instantly, the bedroom was filled with a tranquil atmosphere, as if all his worries had vanished. Alright, he could start drawing cards now. He hoped to draw a good talent, but since he'd only gotten a purple one last time, the chances weren't very high.
[White Talent: Scale Enhancement; White Talent: Swiftness; Green Talent: Deadly Poison.]
Two hundred and one green, at least it's not three whites, so it's not the worst result. But these three are actually not very useful. Just pick one randomly and start the simulation.
[On your first day, you consumed a Myriad Flower Pill to begin your cultivation. Your cultivation level is one step closer to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, but the distance is still considerable.]
[On the second day, you continued your cultivation, hoping to advance to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment before the Dragon Gate Tournament selection. Therefore, you spared no expense, using a large amount of spirit stones and pills. However, today, you are still at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.]
[On the third day, you continued your cultivation, but despite using every means possible, you were still just a little short of advancing to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. It was on this day that the Black Shark Demon King sent a message instructing you to depart immediately the following day.]
On the fourth day, you arrived at the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace once again. This time, however, the Heavenly Fox was in charge, and you did not see the Demon Lord. Before the selection began, the Heavenly Fox hosted a banquet to allow you geniuses to get acquainted. The spiritual fruits and wines at the banquet were all third-tier spiritual items. After eating them, you successfully advanced to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and you were very happy.
On the fifth day, the selection officially began. This time, it was a battle between consciousness entities within a secret realm, where all methods could be used. Even if someone died, they would be eliminated, and it wouldn't affect their physical body. This was truly a grand scheme.
[On the sixth day, you searched for supplies and killed prodigies in the secret realm. Your strength is indeed among the strongest in the entire Foundation Establishment stage. Even a Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator with a Purple Mansion Dao Foundation is no match for you. You are a force to be reckoned with, killing gods and Buddhas alike.]
On the seventh day, three cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage felt you posed too great a threat and joined forces to eliminate you. After a fierce battle, you emerged victorious, solidifying your position.
On the eighth day, you saw the Ink Scale Demon General being chased by a cultivator at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. You helped him fight back and kill the attacker, and the two of you began working together.
On the ninth day, the secret realm slowly shrank, and all the surviving prodigies gradually gathered together. The great melee was about to begin. There were only twelve spots in the Dragon Gate; eight would be selected based on battle record, and the remaining four would be chosen based on a combination of factors including overall qualities, bloodline, temperament, aptitude, and combat strength. Everyone wanted to achieve better results in the battle.
[On the tenth day, the great melee began. You few, the strongest fighters, were the first to be ganged up on. They all knew that if they didn't send you away, they wouldn't be able to achieve good results in their battle record. You transformed into your true form and began to resist, but which of the geniuses who appeared here wasn't a spirit beast? You killed many spirit beasts, but in the end, you were still surrounded and killed.]
[On the eleventh day, the selection ended. Your performance ranked fifth, and in the overall ranking, the Ink Scale Demon General ranked second. The two of you have both qualified to enter the Dragon Gate.]
On the twelfth day, the Demon Lord personally met with you twelve prodigies and reiterated your importance of striving for opportunities within the Dragon Gate. He explained that some peerless prodigies have acquired the bloodline of exotic beasts within the Dragon Gate, a bloodline that can propel the demon race far in cultivation. After all, even the Demon Lord and the Fox Immortal are merely exotic beasts themselves.
[On the thirteenth day, the Dragon Gate opened. Today, you entered the Dragon Gate, feeling as if you had transformed into a koi fish, attempting to leap over the gate before you. You persevered and finally jumped across. You could feel your bloodline growing stronger, subtly and mysteriously. Suddenly, you exploded and died; your cultivation level could no longer withstand such immense benefits.]
Gu Yuchuan gaped, completely dumbfounded. Wasn't this death too casual? He had gone through so much suffering and finally crossed the Dragon Gate, only to find that his physical body and strength simply couldn't handle so much bloodline energy, causing him to explode and die. This was too pathetic.
He was furious, but he also roughly understood how to resolve the matter. He had two methods. The first was to suppress himself a little when leaping over the dragon gate and not have such a big gain. But this would definitely make him uncomfortable. He had prepared for so long just to gain a big gain when leaping over the dragon gate. Making him hold back would be more painful than killing him.
The second solution is simpler: find a body-refining technique and practice it as soon as possible. He can use a few simulations to quickly achieve minor success in body refining. Then, he will be able to better digest these bloodlines. Well, let's take a look at the gains from this time first.
[This simulation has ended. Survival time: thirteen days. Cultivation level: Foundation Establishment Level 9. Bloodline: Mid-grade Spirit Beast, Viper. Evaluation: Greed knows no bounds. Do you really think you can swallow such a powerful bloodline? You gluttonous brat. Reward: 115 Dragon Points (65 for thirteen days of survival, 50 for advancing one level in cultivation).]
[Do you wish to redeem the Foundation Establishment Level 9 cultivation (100 Divine Dragon Points) for this reward?]
He clicked the exchange button directly. This simulation had finally yielded some results, as he had become a cultivator at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. This would be of great use in the battles to come. Now, he needed to find a body-refining technique.
