Cultivation Kill

My memories from birth to the present are so vivid, the love of friends and family is so intense, and my emotions are so profound!

How could it be fake?

How can it be!

Shen Zige's heart was enveloped in pain, countless demonic thoughts arose, surrounding him, mocking, ridiculing, cursing, and singing...

He staggered and fell into the abyss!

What is true, and what is false?

Can a watch negate one's entire life? As she fell, Shen Zige asked herself this question.

Yes, I'm just a copy created from the secret realm, merely a trial subject. Once the secret realm ends, I'll disappear.

Are copies not life, and therefore do they not have the right to exist?

A raging fire ignited in Shen Zige's heart. He was unwilling to accept it—no matter who created me, they had no right to take away my life and freedom!

Even if I die the next moment, I will fight!

I am a human being, and I can also cultivate immortality!

A hand grabbed him, and Shen Zige came to his senses. The original Shen Zige was flying on a sword, tightly holding his hand.

"Don't succumb to fate! Brave people will conquer the unknown and conquer themselves!" Shen Zige himself said. "We'll conquer the secret realm together and survive together!"

As soon as they finished speaking, boundless light burst forth from their hearts, binding them tightly together. Within the ball of light, the two were reunited as one, possessing all the memories of what had just happened.

Shen Zige roared in the air, the light still lingering in his body, generating a positive and negative cycle of power. At this moment, he possessed seventy-two acupoints, half real and half illusory, with spiritual power flowing between the real and illusory acupoints.

His cultivation level was rapidly improving. Since there was no spiritual energy around him, he subconsciously used his divine sense to retrieve all the spirit stones from his storage ring.

The spiritual energy within the spirit stone continuously surged into his body, flowing into the seventy-two acupoints that were both tangible and intangible.

As time passed, the spirit stones, having exhausted their spiritual power, shattered into dust one by one, scattering from the sky.

In this mysterious world, the sun rises and sets, and all things unfold in nature.

A layer of spirit lime has already been piled up below Shen Zige.

"Snapped--"

As the 1,440th spirit stone shattered, the light emanating from Shen Zige's body began to shrink.

The myriad rays of light on his forehead subsided, and his gaze was slightly different from usual, exuding a transcendent aura befitting a cultivator.

"I have reached the tenth level of Spirit Condensation!"

Shen Zige felt the surging spiritual power in her body, which was at least three times that of the first level of Spirit Condensation!

Not only his spiritual power, but also his physical strength and divine sense have improved. Even without comparing himself to others, he feels that his divine sense has reached the level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The entire secret realm melted away like ink, disappearing rapidly.

Shen Zige appeared in a pavilion in the mist. In the center of the pavilion was a stone table and stone benches. The Palace Master of Tianjian Palace held a wine pot and poured himself a drink.

"Greetings, Palace Master." Shen Zige imitated the ancient people on TV, cupping her fists in greeting.

"I never expected that what could restrain a supreme treasure would be another supreme treasure." Even though it was just a fragment of his consciousness, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Sword Palace was still majestic and holy, not to be underestimated.

"You mean the smartwatch residing in my consciousness space is a treasure?" Shen Zige thought to herself that almost everyone in the Star Realm Company had one, so a treasure wouldn't be that valuable. A treasure sounded even more powerful than a legendary magic weapon.

“Your watches are merely a superficial imprint of that treasure,” said the Palace Master of the Heavenly Sword Palace. “Like dust clinging to you, they may bear a trace of your presence, but they do not represent you.”

Shen Zige's mind conjured up images of Star Realm Corporation mass-producing smartwatches—countless workers shoveling sand and dust, pouring it onto the treasure, imbuing the sand with the treasure's scent.

“That secret realm is also a treasure!” Shen Zige said. “That mirror function is almost unsolvable. I can’t imagine how the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Palace in the past managed to get through it.”

“None of them can pass this test either; there are very few challenges,” said the Palace Master of the Heavenly Sword Palace. “The disciples I want must pass this test; otherwise, they will have no chance to become immortals, just as I have not become an immortal.”

"From your memories, I know that the Heavenly Sword Palace has been destroyed. Then I must have fallen just before I became an immortal. Becoming an immortal is too difficult. The path to immortality in the Endless Starfield has been cut off for more than a million years!"

"Why?" Shen Zige asked.

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Sword Palace shook his head and did not answer.

"Do I qualify as having passed through this secret realm?" Shen Zige asked.

I don't know if relying on the treasure counts as passing, but if so, the man in the floral shirt should have passed as well.

"The man in the floral shirt killed his mirror image while it was stunned and distracted."

The Palace Master of Tianjian Palace said, "He did not have the same opportunity as you. He has a lot of decisive courage, but I don't like it. He only has rationality and not much humanity, so I cannot take him as my personal disciple. I can only teach him some secret techniques as compensation."

"You are mostly rational, which is understandable, as wisdom comes from rational analysis. However, you also possess a rare humanity. You saved your own image, which is equivalent to self-redemption. Otherwise, when your cultivation reaches a higher level, you might very well advance to become a demon."

"So, are you willing to become my disciple?" said the Palace Master of the Heavenly Sword Palace. "My original self is dead and has no treasures to give you, but I can teach you my once invincible swordsmanship."

"master!"

Shen Zige didn't think that becoming a disciple of a great figure who was about to become an immortal tens of thousands of years ago would be beneath her, a mere Spirit Condensation cultivator.

"There's no need for formalities. I don't care about those empty formalities. Just remember me in your heart and that I once existed," said the Palace Master of the Heavenly Sword Palace. "I will pass on to you the supreme classic of the Sword Palace—the Sun and Moon Sword Technique."

Countless ancient characters flooded Shen Zige's mind, and the two connected through their divine senses to input information.

The transmission of the Sun Sword Technique was completed quickly. Just as the Palace Master of the Sword Palace was about to transmit the Moon Sword Technique into Shen Zige's mind, his body suddenly flickered a few times, as if his power was about to be exhausted.

"This is bad! Using a supreme treasure to open a secret world consumes too much mental energy. My main body is not here, so I cannot replenish it. My mental energy is insufficient now!" said the Palace Master of the Heavenly Sword Palace. "I cannot pass on the Taiyin Sword Technique to you completely. You can find another part of my mind in the Endless Star Domain to obtain the Taiyin Sword Technique."

"Can that treasure be given to me to save my life?"

Shen Zige exclaimed that she was unlucky. If she could obtain the treasure, she wouldn't be so eager for the Taiyin Sword Technique!

"Haha, even if you took it, you couldn't carry it!"

After saying this, the Palace Master of Sword Palace disappeared from Shen Zige's sight.

The mist surged and split in two, revealing a road within it.

Shen Zige knew it was time for her to leave.

Following the road, at the end is a circular gate of light. Through the gate, Shen Zige arrives outside the secret realm, beneath a huge stone tablet.

However, the stone tablet is now closed and can no longer be entered; the ancient writing on it has also disappeared!

"Damn it, the Immortal Cultivation Killing Realm opens today!"

Shen Zige checked the time on his smartwatch and discovered that he had been in this secret realm for more than eleven months, and the time he came out was exactly the day the secret realm for cultivators in the Spirit Condensation stage opened!

The main problem is that improving one's realm on the platform takes too long, but he cannot stop. It's like digging a well to irrigate spiritual energy; once interrupted, there won't be a second chance. Good luck won't favor a fool twice.
