"In the simulation, I fell into the demonic path during my cultivation, ending up in a state where I wasn’t quite human or ghost, just barely reaching the stage of Foundation Establishment Finalization."
"The time I spent exceeded even the lifespan limit of a 300-year-old Foundation Establishment Cultivator."
Three hundred and thirty years is the lifespan limit in the simulation.
Ordinarily, the lifespan limit for a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator is two hundred and fifty years.
With the help of unique cultivation techniques, one can prolong one’s life by a dozen or two decades.
With the help of longevity pills, the limit can reach three hundred years.
How I managed to live up to three hundred and thirty years was reliant on the Body Refinement Methods of the Path of Blood that Wang Yuan finally researched.
By pursuing the acts of mass murder and life absorption, I survived that long.
But in the end, I was hunted by the entire Yu Ding Realm.
I ended up in a state where I wasn’t quite human or ghost.
At the very moment I began my attempt to form the Golden Core, I fell into a demonic deviation, and my attempt ended in failure."
Failure is not terrifying!
Even the pride of Ghost God Valley from back in the day can fail.
For me, the most dangerous stage was actually in the Eighth-Level Foundation Establishment, during the phase where I lost hope in cultivation.
During that stage, my fighting spirit waned, and I even became a Dao Companion Cultivator with Gu ..."
Heart Inquiry!
That is a test of my Dao Heart.
If it wasn’t for the relentless ambition that arose later, fuelling my Dao competition once more, even with Lan Ke Black and White Chess to help, my Divine Soul would have been damaged and my Dao Heart would have taken a great hit.
After waking up, I might have been in a daze, unable to control myself."
"No wonder this object is only used by the disciples at the stage of Foundation Establishment Finalization from Ghost God Valley!"
"People at this stage have discarded all their distractions, and have only the matter of Core Formation left in their hearts, leaving no room for distraction."
In the midst of his exclamation, Luo Chen noticed something was wrong.
He found that his thoughts seemed to spread too quickly.
"Is it the aftermath of the simulation by the Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror?"
Luo Chen furrowed his brows.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of hunger surged from his stomach and Sea of Consciousness.
His expression shifted slightly, and he sat up.
"Xiao Ling, prepare a ten-day Spirit Meal for me!"
Bai Meiling who was outside studying the Soul Gathering Banner responded sweetly.
Luo Chen, feeling the state of his body, just sent out his Spirit Consciousness when he felt a wave of dizziness.
"Not only my body but even my Divine Soul seems to be overused!"
"Makes sense. The Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization cultivators from Ghost God Valley only need to pour all their energy into simulating Core Formation."
"But I’m only at the Third Level Foundation Establishment and had to simulate every step. This process was completely dependent on my personal endowment."
"If it weren’t for my Divine Soul Endowment being close to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, I might not have lasted until the Core Formation simulation."
In the simulation.
His Core Formation failure was not only due to a lack of experience and knowledge.
It was also because his Divine Soul could not support it!
Feeling this, Luo Chen felt intermittent dizziness.
"Thankfully, I have backup Tongyou Pills. Even if they can’t increase my power, they should be able to replenish some."
Without thinking twice, Luo Chen took out a Tongyou Pill and swallowed it.
Meanwhile, outside, a grand meal imbued with rich Spirit Qi was gradually brought to the stone table under Bai Meiling’s care.
Half an hour later.
A slightly refreshed Luo Chen walked out of his bedroom.
He arrived at the stone table and began to enjoy the lavish Spirit Meal that ordinary cultivators couldn’t afford, without waiting.
While eating, Luo Chen asked:
"How many days have I slept?"
Bai Meiling, propping her small face up with both hands, on the table.
She counted with her fingers and replied, "After returning, you were in front of the mirror for a day and a night. After that, you slept for another seven days. Duan Feng came looking for you during that time. Oh, Wang Yuan also came yesterday, but he left when he saw you were asleep."
Hearing the ongoing chatter, Luo Chen’s eating slowed down.
"Is there only one day left before the auction?"
"Fortunately, there’s still time for everything!"
