"What? Wouldn't that be like gaining an extra life outright?"
Outside the simulation, Su Yang was stunned.
What followed was uncontrollable ecstasy.
He had to obtain this clone divine ability in reality.
And based on his understanding of the simulation system,
when this simulation ended and it came time to exchange rewards, the Clone Technique would definitely appear as an exchange option.
The only problem now was
that a divine ability with such heaven-defying effects
would certainly be extremely expensive.
He would most likely be unable to afford it.
But it did not matter.
Su Yang had already thought it through.
Even if he could not exchange for it this time, there would still be the next time, and the time after that.
Besides, this was the reward the mysterious existence had given Simulated Su Yang for condensing a Supreme Golden Core and becoming a Limit Breaker.
If it existed in the simulation, then it definitely existed in reality as well.
What could not yet be determined was whether this reward was always the Clone Technique, or whether there were other rewards.
I'll know after one or two more simulations, Su Yang thought.
He then continued reading the simulation text.
[You felt immensely delighted.]
[You decided to keep Simulated Su Yang in Tianjian Sect for the time being, before his cultivation had fully matured.]
[He would serve as a fallback for your resurrection should you die.]
[You transferred your consciousness into Clone Su Yang's body and had him greet you.]
[Possessing two bodies at once felt exceedingly wondrous.]
[At this moment, Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable's remnant soul flew directly out of the ring on your hand.]
[He stared at the two of you in utter shock, unable to speak for a long time.]
[You told him that you had condensed a Supreme Golden Core.]
[You also told him about the mysterious voice you had heard.]
[You asked whether he knew of anything similar.]
[Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable's remnant soul shook his head, saying that he had never heard of such a thing.]
[He had never imagined that there could be a Golden Core of even higher quality beyond a Superior Golden Core.]
[And that upon reaching it, one would receive an Innate Divine Ability from a mysterious existence.]
[He warned you that it would be best not to tell anyone else about your clone.]
[You nodded.]
[A thought suddenly flashed through your mind.]
[You told Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable that a Pillar Reaching Heaven would descend upon Tianjian Sect and utterly destroy it.]
[You said that while condensing the Supreme Golden Core, your consciousness had resonated with heaven and earth, allowing you to see an image.]
[Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable was greatly shocked and asked whether you could determine when the scene would occur.]
[You nodded and told him it would be eleven years from now.]
[He fell silent for a moment.]
[Then he asked what you intended to do.]
[You asked whether there was a way to move the entire Tianjian Sect away in advance and avoid this calamity of destruction.]
[Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable smiled and said it was simple: you only needed to tell your master, Venerable Blazing Sun, and Tianjian Sect's Sect Master, Venerable Moon Sword, what you had seen.]
[You looked confused, feeling that they probably would not believe you.]
[Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable explained that if you had not condensed a Golden Core before this, they would never move the sect merely because of the words of a Foundation Establishment sword disciple.]
[But things were different now. You had already condensed a Golden Core, and it was the unprecedented Supreme Golden Core.]
[The process of advancing to a major realm was a process of self-improvement, but it was also a process of resonating with heaven and earth.]
[For advancing into the Golden Core realm, the quality of one's Golden Core determined the degree of that resonance.]
[And the Golden Core you had condensed was the Supreme Golden Core, surpassing even Superior Golden Cores. It would not be strange for you to receive any sort of information during such a process.]
[Combined with your talent and potential, they would attach tremendous importance to you, and your words would be enough to make them consider the matter deeply.]
[And with the consequence being Tianjian Sect's destruction, something they could not bear, they would ultimately believe you.]
[You found Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable's words very reasonable and decided to give it a try.]
[You withdrew Clone Su Yang into your body.]
[You found Venerable Moon Sword.]
[You showed her the Supreme Golden Core.]
[Venerable Moon Sword was astonished, saying that she had never expected the legendary Golden Core beyond Superior Golden Cores to truly exist.]
[You had not expected Venerable Moon Sword to know about the Supreme Golden Core, so you asked her about it.]
[Venerable Moon Sword told you that she had seen it in a travel journal left behind by the seventh patriarch.]
[You sat up straight. Having joined Tianjian Sect for so many years, you also knew of the seventh patriarch.]
[He was the only Void Returning King in Tianjian Sect's history, and it was said that even among Void Returning Kings, he had stood at the very pinnacle.]
[Venerable Moon Sword continued, saying that the travel journal recorded how the seventh patriarch had once left the boundaries of the Seven Islands Alliance.]
[He had traveled to a place called Xuqing Continent, where he saw geniuses as numerous as the stars and mighty experts like blazing suns, capable of suppressing the world with their might.]
[The very greatest among those geniuses were called Limit Breakers, and condensing a Golden Core beyond the Superior grade was one path to becoming a Limit Breaker.]
[You were secretly astonished. You had not expected that someone had already condensed a Supreme Golden Core long ago, and that becoming a Limit Breaker involved far more than just one path.]
[But on second thought, since a mysterious existence granted rewards in this regard, there must certainly have been precedents before.]
[You continued questioning Venerable Moon Sword about this matter.]
[But she shook her head. The seventh patriarch's travel journal contained only this much information on the subject.]
[You were somewhat disappointed.]
[Then you remembered the important matter.]
[Following Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable's suggestion, you told Venerable Moon Sword that a Pillar of Heaven would destroy Tianjian Sect.]
[Venerable Moon Sword was utterly horrified. After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the news with you, she hurriedly left.]
[You knew that Venerable Moon Sword had already believed you.]
[A few days later, Tianjian Sect's Venerables who had been in seclusion emerged one after another, and the Heavenly Sword Record was also invited out of the Patriarchs' Hall.]
[Twelve Venerables and the spirit of the Heavenly Sword Record summoned you together.]
[They first confirmed your Superior Golden Core, then had you recount in detail the scene of the Pillar of Heaven destroying Tianjian Sect.]
[They then decided on a plan to temporarily relocate Tianjian Sect from West Sword Lake.]
"One man's plan falls short; many minds make wisdom grow. Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable's words truly worked."
Outside the simulation, Su Yang revealed a delighted smile.
[The enormous sect also began moving at full speed, preparing every matter necessary for the relocation.]
[At this point, there was not much left for you to do, so you continued cultivating diligently.]
[Suppressed by the Supreme Golden Core and three Origin Artifacts, your speed of absorbing spiritual energy far surpassed what it had been before.]
[Yet because your foundation was too profound, the difficulty of breaking through was also far greater than that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.]
[With one gain and one loss, your advancement speed did not increase by much.]
[At the age of forty-four, while refining pills, you suddenly attained enlightenment, and your alchemy advanced to the intermediate third tier.]
[At the age of forty-eight, another Golden Core sword disciple of Tianjian Sect came to challenge you to a spar. He was at the fifth level of the Golden Core realm.]
[You agreed and defeated him in only a few strikes of the sword, dealing him a severe blow.]
[At the age of fifty, all preparations for Tianjian Sect's relocation had been completed, and the sect officially began moving.]
[One spiritual vein after another was extracted, and one great formation after another was relocated.]
[The sect's buildings, along with the mountains beneath them, were moved away outright.]
[All the sect members and disciples also arrived at the newly constructed base on the Central Plains.]
[The other factions on Qixia Island had no idea what was happening.]
[Wuliang Sect, the only Spirit Transformation faction on the Central Plains, even sent its Deity Transformation Venerable personally to inquire about the situation.]
[At the age of fifty-one, Tianjian Sect's relocation was fully completed.]
