Immortal Cultivation Simulator

Gu Han opened his eyes to find himself in pitch-black darkness.

Outside the tent, a light drizzle pattered down, and only a few stray flickers of firelight pierced through the thin canvas, allowing him to barely make out the scene within.

It was a small tent covering only about ten square meters, where dozens of soldiers lay sprawled in disarray like corpses, clad in tattered armor, stained with blood, and reeking of decay.

Thunderous snores filled Gu Han's ears, interspersed with the occasional sound of teeth grinding, sleep-talking, or even curses and maledictions, as if he were surrounded by demons from hell, sending a chill straight through his heart.

"Suicide Squad!"

An unfamiliar term suddenly crashed into Gu Han's mind, causing his body to shudder as he realized his situation.

He had transmigrated!

This was not any dynasty he knew from his past life, nor was it even Earth; it was a country called the Yue Kingdom.

Here, not only were there martial arts masters who could leap over walls and roofs like those in the novels of his past life, but there were also legendary "Immortals" who lived for hundreds of years, capable of riding the wind on swords and treading the blue void.

These Immortals possessed immense power, and their status was naturally beyond compare; some of the most formidable among them were treated with such reverence that even the ruler of the Great Yi Dynasty dared not slight them, forced to treat them with courtesy and as equals.

His predecessor had been a collateral branch descendant of a prominent family in the capital known as the Gu Family, sharing the same name: Gu Han. He was twelve years old and had just completed his hundred-day foundation establishment, stepping into the first realm of martial arts: the Flesh Refining Realm.

Born into such a prestigious family, even as a collateral member, his starting point had surpassed the finish line of countless ordinary people in this world, and his future had been bright.

In the future, even if he couldn't become an Innate or First-rate master, with the support of his family and parents, becoming a Second-rate Master would have been no problem.

If he could eventually pull some strings to be posted as an official in a commandery city, he would have been a local warlord, holding the power of life and death over millions—truly a man above ten thousand.

But alas, the heavens are unpredictable, and human fortune is fickle.

A few days ago, an oblivious descendant of the Gu Family's main branch had accidentally offended an Immortal who had descended into the mortal realm.

In a fit of rage, that Immortal had not only personally slaughtered the few Innate experts who were the pinnacle of the family's martial strength but had also coordinated with the imperial court to uproot the entire Gu Family.

In that catastrophe, the main branch's experts and descendants were all wiped out, and even the ranked martial artists among the collateral branches were purged; the predecessor's parents, uncles, and grandfather were all slaughtered by the imperial army during this disaster.

Only collateral descendants like his predecessor, who had just stepped onto the path of martial arts and were still young, barely managed to survive. If they were female, they were sent to be government prostitutes; if male, they were exiled to the frontier to join the army's Suicide Squad, seeking a slim chance of survival.

And this, it was said, was the result of that Immortal's "great mercy," as he did not wish to commit further slaughter.

"What a display of 'great mercy'!"

Recalling the scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in his mind, Gu Han couldn't help but feel a chill in his teeth.

As an ordinary person who grew up in the new century, although there had been darkness and injustice in his past life, for the vast majority of people, their safety and human rights were guaranteed. As a citizen, no one could arbitrarily deprive you of your life.

How could it compare to the naked law of the jungle in this world? As long as you were weak, even if your whole family was killed and you were forced into a Suicide Squad with a nine-in-ten chance of death, you dared not harbor a shred of resentment toward the perpetrator. How absurd was that?

"Beep!"

"Host successfully transmigrated. Immortal Cultivation Simulator is officially launching. Loading simulator data..."

"Beep!"

"Data loading complete. Immortal Cultivation Simulator is officially activated."

Just as Gu Han was stunned, a series of mechanical system prompts rang out in his mind, followed by a transparent attribute panel appearing before his eyes.

Name: Gu Han
Level: 1
Realm: Flesh Refining Realm
Cultivation Method: "Vajra Body Refining Fist"
Skills: None
System Skills:
① Simulation: Can consume a certain amount of Simulation Points to simulate, generating a new identity in the myriad worlds and starting a new life.
② Insight: Can perceive the details of characters not exceeding the host by 20 levels, requiring no Simulation Points.
Current Simulation Points: 100 (Simulation Points are sufficient; simulation can be performed).

"Simulation? Insight? Immortal Cultivation Simulator?"

Looking at the strange attribute panel that had appeared so abruptly, Gu Han was surprised, but not terrified.

He was not a native of this world. In his past life, Gu Han had occasionally read many web novels for entertainment, so he was no stranger to various systems, cheats, and attribute panels.

This so-called "Immortal Cultivation Simulator" appeared to be his cheat.

Furthermore, its description seemed similar to those "Myriad World Disks" or "World Beads," designed to allow him to travel through the myriad worlds, utilize resources from other realms to supplement and strengthen himself, and ultimately achieve transcendence.

However, compared to those, this simulator felt more like playing a game; it could only generate virtual identities, and he could not travel with his physical body.

The advantage was that it was safer, as no matter how he courted death in the simulated world, it would cause no harm to his real self.

The disadvantage was that the cultivation gained in the simulated world could not be brought into the real world; he could only acquire cultivation methods, experience, and the like.

"Forget it, there is no such thing as perfection in this world. Being able to obtain the Immortal Cultivation Simulator is already my own stroke of fortune; how could I dare to ask for more? I will perform a simulation today to see if this Immortal Cultivation Simulator is as I suspect. If it is, it might just solve the urgent crisis I face in the real world!"

Gu Han thought silently to himself.

This was not the modern era, but an ancient battlefield akin to a purgatory of Asura. In such an environment, let alone a Flesh Refining Realm martial artist who had just stepped onto the threshold of martial arts, even Second-rate or First-rate masters could not guarantee their safety one hundred percent.

More importantly, because his predecessor had been captured by the imperial court just after completing his hundred-day foundation establishment—before he had the chance to learn any family martial arts—he currently possessed only one foundation-building physical training technique: the "Vajra Body Refining Fist."

Although this fist technique was a top-tier Body Refining Fist Technique that had leaked out from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Temple, the premier martial arts holy land of the Yue Kingdom a hundred years ago, it contained only methods for tempering the body and lacked even a shred of offensive or lethal capability. This resulted in the original owner's actual combat strength being far inferior to that of an average martial artist in the Flesh Refining Realm, which made Gu Han's current situation all the more perilous.

Therefore, for him at this moment, the only way to find a glimmer of survival was to utilize this so-called "Immortal Cultivation Simulator" to conduct world simulations, temper himself within those simulated worlds, and learn offensive martial arts.

"Simulator, consume Simulation Points and begin the world simulation!"

With his resolve hardened, Gu Han did not delay any further and immediately issued the command to the simulator within his mind.
