Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

The next morning, sunlight shone through the water into the cave. Gu Yuchuan slowly opened his eyes, still a little sleepy. He hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time. He felt refreshed. Indeed, sleeping every now and then was very necessary. Nothing could recharge his energy better than sleep.

He first went to check on Bai Ming and Bai Li, and found that they were both diligently cultivating, with spiritual light flashing around them. He didn't disturb them and went straight back to his cave. He devoutly stroked his tail, lit an incense stick, and prepared to start a new round of simulation. This time, he wanted to obtain the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi.

[Congratulations, host, on activating the thirteenth 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.]

Each time, he remembered to wash his hands and burn incense before the system reminded him, hoping that this time he would have a good talent so that he could better plan the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi.

[White Talent: Scale Enhancement; White Talent: Swiftness; White Talent: Physical Enhancement.]

He sighed softly, but he had expected it. After he drew a purple talent last time, he also went through a period of bad luck. It seemed that he would be no exception this time. A purple talent was too powerful, enough to affect the rest of his life. It was only natural that it had consumed a lot of his luck. He immediately started the simulation.

On the first day, you instructed Bai Li and Bai Ming, leaving them some resources for cultivation, and told them to avoid going out as much as possible. And so you embarked on your journey.

The next day, at the place where humans and demons meet, you found the spiritual spring again. You refined its source into a spirit-gathering jade and left. Your cultivation speed has increased.

On the third day, you arrived near the Heavenly Profound Secret Realm. You intercepted and killed a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, obtaining his token for entry. You hid underground, awaiting the opening of the secret realm.

On the fourth day, you concealed your presence, not daring to relax for a moment, and waited patiently.

On the fifth day, you are still waiting.

……

[On the tenth day, the secret realm opened. Just like last time, you were the first to rush in. Upon entering, you saw the solidified fat, but since your reward location was different, there was no danger.]

[On the eleventh day, instead of deliberately collecting rare treasures, you were constantly searching for cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Refining. You need to kill ten cultivators as soon as possible to qualify for the Trial Realm. You know that if you go too late, there will be too many cultivators there, making it difficult for you to enter or leave.]

On the twelfth day, you continued hunting cultivators. You were anxious, but there weren't many cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Refining. You could only do your best. Finally, that night, you obtained the key to enter and began your journey to the trial space.

[On the thirteenth day, there were no cultivators outside the trial space this time. You quickly entered and began your trials. You easily passed the first, second, and third trials. In the fourth trial, you defeated eight cultivators and were then teleported out. It seems that the Heavenly Profound Realm no longer has Heavenly Qi, only Earthly Qi. You obtained Earthly Qi and Life-Giving Qi.]

On the fourteenth day, you emerged from the trial space and encountered Ningzhi again. However, this time, Ningzhi's aura wasn't as powerful as before. Clearly, the Earthly Fiend Qi she had acquired hadn't entered her body. The two of you fought fiercely. Although you were no match for her, she wanted to kill you, but she would also severely injure you. Severely injured, she couldn't retain her Earthly Fiend Qi, and you eventually parted ways peacefully.

On the fifteenth day, you happily returned home, imbued with the aura of the Earthly Fiends.

[On the sixteenth day, at this time, a battle had already broken out between the Cloud Sea Marsh and the Beast Taming Sect. You thought you were away and were considered to be fleeing for your life, so the Xuan Turtle Demon General personally killed you.]

[This simulation has ended. Survival time: 16 days. Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 8. Bloodline: Superior-grade Demonic Beast Horned Serpent. Achievement: The Injustice Done to Dou E. Evaluation: A pitiful little serpent about to soar to great heights, but wrongly accused. Reward: 130 Divine Dragon Points. (80 points for surviving for 16 days and 50 points for achieving the achievement.)]

Gu Yuchuan's mouth dropped open, his eyes wide with shock. He truly hadn't expected to die in such a way. Wasn't it a bit too outrageous? He took out his notebook, ready to write it down for the Xuan Turtle Demon General, but then he thought better of it. If he were in the other's shoes, he would also feel like a deserter. He had just surrendered, and now he couldn't find anyone to fight for him. It was no wonder the other side was suspicious. This was his fault, and he couldn't blame anyone else.

Although he harbored resentment at dying at the hands of the Xuan Turtle Demon General, he was still of sound mind and could distinguish right from wrong. He knew perfectly well who was to blame and didn't dwell on it. Recently, he had focused all his energy on the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi, even forgetting that war with the Beast Taming Sect was imminent. It was truly a turbulent time.

[This simulation allows for redemption; would you like to redeem the Earthly Fiend Qi and Radiant Qi (150 Divine Dragon Points)?]

This was naturally an immediate exchange. Wasn't this exactly what he had been scheming for all this time? The Life-Giving Aura was considered quite good among the Earthly Fiend Auras. It could emit a protective divine light, making one impervious to all magic and evil, with light covering the entire body and endless wonders. However, this was in its most powerful form. Even if one obtained the Earthly Fiend Divine Power with such cultivation, it wouldn't be this powerful. But its defense was definitely superior to magic artifacts of the same level. From now on, he would no longer need any defensive treasures, whether for physical or spiritual defense.

He happily circled around the cave, the Earthly Fiend Qi was in his hands just like that. He couldn't believe it had gone so smoothly. From now on, he could cultivate quickly and start planning to reach Foundation Establishment. At that time, he wouldn't be considered a low-level cultivator anymore; he would have a firm foothold. Of course, the most important thing now was to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Before that, he planned to get the Spirit Gathering Jade first; it was a valuable item. He packed his things and went out.

Following the route in the simulator, he soon arrived at the border between humans and demons. He activated his invisibility and was extremely cautious, as the area was a melting pot of people, including demons, humans, and half-demons, making conflict a likely possibility. Although the people here were mostly low-level cultivators, it was still best to be careful.

He had it all planned out. In the simulator, he would go all out and seize every opportunity. But in reality, he had to be careful. Survival was the most important thing, so that he could cultivate better with minimal danger.
