Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Xue Tianhan slowly got up from the difficult training. Having successfully broken through to the late stage of distraction, although the spiritual power in his body was vigorous and surging, there was no trace of slackness or complacency in his eyes.

He gazed at the towering peaks in the distance, shrouded in a celestial aura, and muttered to himself, "The path of cultivating immortality is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you'll retreat. In this world where the strong are respected, only by constantly breaking through can I protect the people and things I cherish."

The spirit bird beside him seemed to understand what he said and chirped a few times as if in response.

After a period of careful recuperation and thorough preparation, Xue Tianhan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination: "It's time to retreat again and strive for a higher realm!"

After saying that, he flashed and entered the cultivation cave that had been arranged long ago.

As soon as he entered the cave, Xue Tianhan quickly sat cross-legged, and his hands quickly formed complex and mysterious seals. The spiritual power in his body was like a surging tide, one wave after another, slamming into the invisible, intangible yet indestructible realm barrier.

Each attack felt like a difficult battle. His face paled slightly, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes. But he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a low and powerful word: "Break!"

However, time passed quietly, one day, two days... Although he forgot to eat and sleep, practiced day and night, and tried all kinds of strange and unheard-of methods, the realm barrier was like the scales of an ancient mythical beast, extremely hard and motionless, ruthlessly blocking his efforts again and again.

"Why is it so difficult? What is happening?" Xue Tianhan frowned, as if he could pinch a fly to death. His heart was full of doubts and unwillingness, as if millions of ants were gnawing at him.

As the days passed, the spirit stones in his storage ring gradually decreased under the repeated impact of spiritual power, until the last spirit stone turned into powder under the violent impact of spiritual power. His path to breakthrough was completely deadlocked, as if he was trapped in a dark quagmire and could not find the way forward.

"Oh, am I really going to give up like this?" Xue Tianhan opened his eyes tiredly, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, which was the hesitation and helplessness about the unknown future.

But in a flash, the confusion was replaced by determination, as if a light shone from the depths of his heart: "No, I will never give up! How can I give up so easily? Everything I cherish is still waiting for me to protect!"

He slowly stood up and walked out of the secret room with firm steps. Looking at the mysterious and dangerous Kunlun Secret Realm, he thought to himself: "This secret realm must contain other methods to improve my strength. I must find them!"

One day, when Xue Tianhan was exploring carefully in the depths of the valley, he suddenly became aware of a subtle and ancient aura.

He followed the guidance of the scent, moving forward cautiously. Soon, he discovered an extremely hidden cave. With a start, he looked around cautiously, and after confirming that there was no danger, he slowly stepped into the cave.

As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the densely packed ancient runes carved on the cave walls. These runes seemed to be telling unknown ancient stories, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

He walked slowly along the cave. At the end, an ancient book emitting a faint light lay there quietly, as if waiting for the arrival of a destined person.

Xue Tianhan walked quickly forward, carefully picked up the ancient book, and gently brushed off the thin layer of dust on it. The ancient and mysterious words on the ancient book came into view.

"The method of cultivating a clone? This clone can actually be cultivated?" Xue Tianhan's heart seemed to be in turmoil, he was shocked and curious.

He couldn't wait to study it carefully, and the more he read, the more excited he became. "This clone can actually assist the original body in battle, and even promote each other and share the pressure during cultivation? Isn't it not much different from the clone created by the immortal weapon? If I can cultivate this successfully, my strength will definitely increase greatly!"

However, after a moment, the light in his eyes dimmed again. "But this cultivation method is incomplete, and from these few words, I can tell that it is extremely difficult and full of dangers... If you are not careful, you may be doomed."

He fell into deep thought, as if two little people were arguing fiercely in his heart.

After a long moment, a flicker of determination flashed across his eyes, as if he had made a crucial decision. "Never mind. The situation is pressing. In order to improve my strength as quickly as possible, I have no choice but to take a risk! Even if the road ahead is filled with thorns, I will never retreat!"

In the following days, Xue Tianhan found a quiet and secluded place in the valley, like a paradise, and began to devote himself to the practice of the method of clone.

Following the vague, heavenly-like records in the ancient books, he held his breath, concentrating on comprehending the obscure mysteries contained therein, and carefully guiding the spiritual power in his body to circulate slowly along a specific and complex route.

At first, his spiritual energy was like a group of mischievous children, completely refusing to obey his commands and often going astray. Once, his spiritual energy suddenly backfired, and he groaned, a mouthful of blood gushing out of his mouth. His face instantly turned as pale as snow, like a blank sheet of paper, devoid of any color.

"Come again!" Xue Tianhan's eyes became more and more determined, as if there was a ball of fire burning. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, did not retreat, adjusted his state again, and continued to try to guide the spiritual power.

Just like that, he stubbornly adjusted again and again, and tried persistently again and again. Even though his body was covered with scars, like broken porcelain, and was riddled with holes from the impact of spiritual power, he never had the thought of giving up. His firm belief was as unshakable as steel.

Finally, after countless painful failures, it was as if a ray of light appeared in the darkness, and an illusory figure slowly emerged beside him, like a ghost, looming.

"Is this the clone?" Xue Tianhan looked at the slightly illusory and unstable clone, his heart was excited and nervous, as if he was holding a little rabbit in his arms, his heart beating wildly.

He did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately sat cross-legged, like an old monk in meditation, patiently using his spiritual power to carefully nourish and stabilize it, as if he was protecting a rare treasure.

One day, two days... As time slowly passed, the clone seemed to be infused with vitality, gradually becoming more solid, its aura and strength becoming similar to the original body, as if they were carved from the same mold.

"Haha, it worked!" Xue Tianhan couldn't help laughing towards the sky. His laughter was like a loud bell, echoing in the valley for a long time, startling a flock of flying birds.

With the help of his clone, Xue Tianhan's path of cultivation seemed to be injected with new vitality, and it became a little easier.

He looked at his clone, his eyes filled with relief and anticipation, and said, "From now on, you will be Number Three. Number Three, go help me collect the spiritual herbs and spiritual stones around, and I will concentrate on studying spells and magical powers. Let's work together to become stronger!"

Number Three nodded slightly, as if he understood what he said, and disappeared in a streak of light to carry out the task he assigned.

During this period, they were attacked by monsters several times, and each time was a thrilling life-and-death battle.

Once, a huge fire tiger with black flames burning all over its body seemed to emerge from hell, roaring and rushing towards them. The sound seemed to be able to shatter people's eardrums, and the surrounding air was distorted by its scorching breath.

"You've come just in time!" Xue Tianhan's eyes turned cold, like cold stars. He looked at No. 3, and their minds connected instantly, as if they had telepathic connection.

Number Three quickly attacked Yanhu from the side like a ghost. Xue Tianhan quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Look at this move of mine, Water Dragon Attack!"

A gigantic water dragon, seemingly surging from the heavens, shot towards the Flame Tiger. Unable to dodge, the Flame Tiger was knocked back by the dragon, letting out a painful roar like the wrath of thunder.

Number Three took the opportunity to go behind Yanhu and punched him with a heavy punch, as if a mountain was falling on his head. Yanhu staggered a few steps and his body was unstable.

Xue Tianhan saw this and shouted, "Come together!"

He and No. 3 seemed to have merged into one, and at the same time, they unleashed their strongest attack. The spiritual power shone brightly, as if the sun had exploded, completely killing the Flame Tiger. The Flame Tiger turned into a ball of ash and dissipated into the air.

Not only that, in the process of practicing and fighting with No. 3, Xue Tianhan was pleasantly surprised to find that his understanding of the way of heaven and earth seemed to have opened a new door, becoming more profound.

"So that's how it is..." A gleam of inspiration flashed in Xue Tianhan's eyes, like a meteor streaking across the night sky. He began to try to integrate these insights into his own spells. After repeated experiments, like a craftsman carving a piece of jade, he finally created some unique attack techniques. These techniques were like the sharp sword in his hand, which made his strength reach a higher level.

However, Xue Tianhan also clearly understood that although No. 3 could improve his strength to a certain extent, it was still a world of difference compared to a true realm breakthrough, just like a firefly competing with the bright moon.

"This is just a temporary solution. I need to keep working hard and keep pursuing higher realms." He secretly made up his mind that while continuing to improve No. 3's strength, he would use the resources collected by No. 3, just like bees collecting honey, constantly accumulating insights and quietly waiting for the next opportunity to reach a higher realm.

One day, Xue Tianhan stood on the top of the valley, like a king ruling the world, looking into the distance, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind, like surging waves.

His oath echoed in the valley for a long time: "I am Xue Tianhan, and I will definitely carve out a place for myself on this path of cultivation, protecting Xiao Qi and the others, as well as those who care about me! Even if the road ahead is rough and bumpy, I will forge ahead without hesitation!"

Afterwards, he began to organize his thoughts and the power he had gained. He knew that although he had reached the late stage of distraction, the road to immortality ahead was long and dangerous, like a narrow path with no end in sight. Every step had to be taken carefully, as if walking on the edge of a cliff, and he would be crushed to pieces if he was not careful.

"I can't limit myself to this. There must be more opportunities waiting for me to explore in the secret realm of Kunlun." Xue Tianhan said with a firm look in his eyes, like a determined explorer ready to embark on a new journey.
