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

After lying down in his cave, he still felt he should use one of the simulation attempts to see if he could advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining. He needed to advance ahead of time to gain his own territory; he couldn't delay any longer. Fortunately, he still had more than three hundred spirit stones, so he could exchange them for two more simulation attempts.

After making the change, he prepared to begin the simulation.

[Congratulations, host, on starting the fourteenth 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.]

He slapped his head with his tail, realizing how busy he had been and how he could have forgotten something so important. He used his magic to conjure a stream of water to wash himself thoroughly, making sure he was clean and free of any dirt. Then he lit an incense stick, and now he was a fragrant little snake. He hoped his luck would be better this time.

[White Talent: Scale Enhancement; White Talent: Swiftness; Green Talent: Body Enlargement.]

He sighed. His luck today wasn't too bad; he did get a green talent. However, he didn't really like the enlarged body. Before his cultivation level increased to a certain point, this large physique was just a puffy, unimpressive thing. In fact, it made him more noticeable now, which wasn't good for his performance in wartime. But in the simulation, he could do whatever he wanted; it was fine with him.

On the first day, you swallowed a Yellow Sprout Pill and began your cultivation. After two hours, you sensed an aura emanating from the cave. Bai Li had finally broken through to the third level of Qi Refining. You praised him a couple of times and encouraged him to continue his cultivation.

On the second day, you continued your practice, and you felt that you were only one step away from breaking through that barrier.

On the third day, Bai Ming finally broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and transformed into human form. Her beauty was breathtaking; even a small snake would feel its heart surge upon seeing her. Indeed, fox demons are truly beautiful.

On the seventh day, as you were diligently cultivating, a powerful and authoritative voice filled the entire Cloud Sea Marsh. You knew this voice was one of the most respected by the demon race. "From today onwards, Cloud Sea Marsh will remain on standby for war, ready to wage war against the human race at any time." A wave of emotion washed over you, but you could only continue your cultivation. This was a decision made by the demon race's higher-ups; it would take several more days before you were actually required to act. After all, you had experienced this once in the simulation, and you understood.

On the eighth day, a cataclysmic battle resounded from the depths of the Cloud Sea Marsh. It was a battle between a powerful human and a venerable demon. The two Nascent Soul stage experts fought so fiercely that the heavens and earth seemed to darken. Everyone awaited the outcome of the battle, except for you, because you already knew the result.

On the ninth day, the battle ended. Both the human and demon races issued new orders, forbidding large-scale military operations. Clearly, the battle resulted in a draw, with neither side winning. Just as you remember.

[On the tenth day, your cultivation finally reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. You are only one step away from the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. However, you broke through too late. War has already begun. The Serpent took you to pay your respects to the Xuan Turtle Demon General. The general said that it was impossible to arrange the river for you at this time. The entire outer perimeter of the Cloud Sea Marsh was already under guard, and there was no way to redeploy the formation. You will have to wait until the war is over. Although you are unhappy, there is nothing you can do to change it.]

On the eleventh day, Yunxihe received a mission to attack a mortal settlement of the Beast Taming Sect. The Serpent King asked you to go with him. You packed your things, left Bai Li and Bai Ming to guard the place, told them to cultivate diligently, and then set off.

[On the twelfth day, the enemy army pressed in, and battle was imminent. During the duel, the enemy deployed a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Only you could take action. Your divine might was unparalleled, and you killed the enemy's ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator in ten moves. The demon race's morale soared, and they launched a fierce attack. The great battle began.]

[On the thirteenth day, during the siege, you stood with the Serpent King the whole time. You knew that the Xuan Turtle Demon General was hiding on his back, and staying there was the safest option. You had already been targeted by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the human race. Sure enough, a Foundation Establishment elder from the Beast Taming Sect appeared, intending to kill you all. The Xuan Turtle Demon General also came out. After fighting for a while, the Beast Taming Sect elder was at a disadvantage. He knew he couldn't win, so he wanted to gain more spoils. He remembered you and was willing to risk injury to kill you. You used all your skills and ultimately managed to save your life.]

On the fourteenth day, with the death of the Beast Taming Sect elder, they had no chance to resist. This human settlement was captured by you. The Xuan Turtle Demon General gave them a sterilizing drug, but didn't exterminate them. That's enough. Preventing them from reproducing and creating cultivators is sufficient. There's no need for further slaughter.

On the fifteenth day, on your way back, you were ambushed and killed by the Beast Taming Sect. Everyone, including the Xuan Turtle Demon General, perished in the ambush.

[This simulation has ended. Survival time: 15 days. Cultivation level: Qi Refining Stage 9. Bloodline: High-grade demonic beast, Horned Serpent. Evaluation: A small serpent with strength, but not much luck. Reward: 125 Divine Dragon Points. (75 points for 15 days of survival. 50 points for advancing one level in cultivation.)]

He frowned. Was this the horror of war? Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't guarantee survival. How could he possibly survive a war? He thought for a moment, then realized something was wrong. He was experiencing the battle of the Viper River. If he wasn't a monster from the Cloud Stream River anymore, he wouldn't have such an important mission. The Xuan Turtle Demon General wouldn't entrust this mission to someone from a new river. He seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

[This simulation offers the following exchange options: Green Talent: Huge Body (20 Dragon Points), Qi Refining Level 9 (50 Dragon Points). Would you like to exchange for these?]

He only exchanged for the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining. He didn't really like that enormous body, and it wouldn't have much impact on combat, so he didn't exchange for it. After the cultivation entered his body, he felt that his breathing was much clearer. He had finally advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining. From now on, he no longer needed to live under someone else's roof in Yunxi River and could develop his own power.

Although this was not an easy task, he was happy to do it. Now, he just needed to quickly report to the Serpent King before the war started. Otherwise, once the war started, he would not be able to properly acquire territory and would not be able to leave Yunxi River.

He went straight out and swam towards Yunxi Palace. As his cultivation level increased, his speed also improved significantly. Before long, he arrived at the entrance of Yunxi Palace. When the clam girl saw him, she was about to speak, but she couldn't say anything. She hadn't expected that Gu Yuchuan's cultivation level would advance so rapidly.
