Cangyuan Map World

To begin a simulation, one of Zhou Yu's avatars had to actively initiate it. The previous two had been started by him in the Desolate Era World; this time, he simply began the simulation in the Swallowed Star World.

[Begin drawing a simulation world?]

A line of text appeared before Zhou Yu once again. As he chose to draw, more lines appeared.

[Drawing world.]

[Draw successful. This simulation world is the Cangyuan Map World!]

"Cangyuan Map World?"

Zhou Yu froze for a moment. This world truly did not suit his preferences. After all, achieving "eternal life" in this world was far too difficult, and the lifespans of living beings were generally absurdly short. Even if the simulation succeeded, his avatar might grow old and die not long after he obtained it.

Still, since he had drawn it already, he might as well simulate it. A successful simulation would also grant him a talent, which was not bad.

[Drawing initial talents--]

[Draw successful. Please choose from the following three talents.]

[One, Focused Mind--When focused, you are more likely to enter a state of enlightenment.]

[Two, Cultivation Genius--You possess exceptionally high talent in every aspect from birth.]

[Three, True Spirit Immortal--After death, your true spirit remains indestructible. You will reincarnate randomly while retaining your memories. Limited to one use.]

Zhou Yu quickly read through the three talents and fell into deep thought.

The last time he had chosen a talent, he had made a mistake. He had focused too much on how the talent would help his real self while overlooking how it would help his simulated self.

After all, if the simulation failed, the talent could not be materialized at all. It would be the same as never choosing it.

But then again, if it was not very useful to his real self, that would not do either.

"Talent Three is the most useful to me. If I had it, I could directly reincarnate in the Desolate Era World." Zhou Yu sighed inwardly. He really wanted to choose it, but he was afraid that if the simulation failed, everything would come to nothing.

After all, if his talent was insufficient, even reincarnating ten or eight times might be useless, let alone when this talent could only be used once.

"Talent Two, then. Thinking it over carefully, this talent is the most likely to lead to a successful simulation. Only if the simulation succeeds does the choice have any meaning." Zhou Yu quickly made his decision.

After Zhou Yu made his choice, the simulation objectives soon appeared as well.

[Please choose one of the following simulation objectives.]

[One, become a King-level God and Devil or a lifeform of the same level--Upon completion, you can obtain a King-level God and Devil or equivalent lifeform avatar, as well as the talent 'Enlightenment Genius' at fifty percent effectiveness.]

[Two, become a Creation Venerable or a lifeform of the same level--Upon completion, you can obtain a Creation Venerable or equivalent lifeform avatar, as well as the complete talent 'Enlightenment Genius'.]

[Three, become an Emperor Monarch--Upon completion, you can obtain an Emperor Monarch avatar and triple the effect of 'Enlightenment Genius'.]

After considering it, Zhou Yu still chose Objective Two.

At that moment, time around this avatar instantly froze. Lines of text began to appear as the simulation began.

[You were born.]

[The unfamiliar environment made you realize that you had transmigrated into another world. Still an infant, you could only silently observe everything and learn the local language.]

[At the age of three, you had gained a considerable understanding of this world. You gradually realized that you seemed to have transmigrated into the Cangyuan Map World. However, this world had none of the demons from your memories. You guessed that you might have arrived in an era before the descent of demons.]

[You were quite fortunate. You had transmigrated into a Godfiend family of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a direct descendant.]

[At the age of six, you began learning martial arts under your family's arrangements. After careful consideration, you chose to practice swordsmanship.]

[Your talent left even you feeling incredulous. After practicing the sword for three months, your swordsmanship had already reached the Unity Realm, where body, mind, and technique were united.]

[At this time, choose: One, conceal your realm. Two, actively reveal your talent.]

This is the true value of 'Cultivation Genius'? Reaching this level in three months? Zhou Yu sighed inwardly. It seemed he had been right: choosing this talent gave him the greatest chance of successfully completing the simulation.

"Choose Two."

After thinking it over, Zhou Yu still chose the second option. His identity in this reincarnation was quite decent as well, so revealing his talent should not be a problem.

With Zhou Yu's choice, countless memories surged forth, and the simulation continued.

[Your talent soon alarmed the family's Godfiend ancestor. He strictly ordered everyone aware of it to keep it secret, then personally brought you to his side to raise and train you.]

[At the age of seven and a half, you comprehended Sword Momentum.]

[At the age of nine, you grasped Sword Intent.]

[At the age of twelve, you entered the Sword Soul Realm.]

[The Godfiend ancestor of your family was now completely stunned. He frankly admitted that he could no longer teach you and wished to send you to Yuanchu Mountain, the sect he belonged to, for careful training. At this time, choose: One, continue accumulating experience within the family. Two, agree to enter Yuanchu Mountain.]

"Two." Zhou Yu directly chose Two.

[After you were brought to Yuanchu Mountain, the entire mountain was soon shaken. Li Guan, the current Creation Venerable, personally appeared and accepted you as his disciple.]

[At the age of fifteen, under Yuanchu Mountain's training, your cultivation of the Thirteen Sword Sha God-Devil Body broke through, and you became a Godfiend.]

[That same year, you reached the Dao Realm. You used the Sword Dao to question your own heart and reached the first level of the Primordial Spirit.]

[At the age of sixteen, your master told you that he would take you to a mysterious place.]

[You soon understood that the place you were going to should be the Cangyuan Grotto-Heaven left behind by Patriarch Cangyuan. It contained many treasures and inheritances Patriarch Cangyuan had brought back from the Outer Realm, making it the most valuable place in the entire Cangyuan Realm.]

[You entered the Cangyuan Grotto-Heaven. In a daze, you obtained an exotic treasure that merged into your Primordial Spirit. After experimenting for some time, you gradually understood its function. It allowed you to see the changes in the laws of heaven and earth more clearly, and in battle, it also allowed you to more clearly find your enemies' weaknesses. You named it the 'Eye of True Sight'.]

[You soon became a Dark Star Realm Godfiend. At this time, choose: One, continue accumulating experience at Yuanchu Mountain. Two, leave Yuanchu Mountain to gain experience.]

With the outrageous talent displayed by my simulated self, I could probably reach the Wujian Realm by continuing to cultivate alone. But considering the future, I should still go out and gain experience. Zhou Yu made his decision.

In the true essence cultivation system of the Cangyuan Realm, the major Godfiend Realm was divided into five levels in total. The Dark Star Realm was already the fourth level, also known in the Cangyuan Realm as a Marquis-level God and Devil.

To simply bury himself in training and reach this point at sixteen was indeed rather outrageous.

But Zhou Yu also understood that the cultivation talent granted by "Cultivation Genius" was almost fixed. Progress would be fast in the early stages, but not necessarily later on. If he wanted great achievements, he still had to undergo tempering.

PS: For those who have not read Cangyuan Map, or have forgotten it, the Cangyuan Map World has the major realms of Mortal Realm, Godfiend Realm, Venerable, Emperor Monarch, Tribulation Realm, and Eternal Realm. Breakthroughs below the Tribulation Realm all require standards in both skill realm and Primordial Spirit realm. For example, a Marquis-level God and Devil requires the Dao Realm and the first level of the Primordial Spirit; a King-level God and Devil requires the Domain Realm and the third level of the Primordial Spirit; a Creation Venerable requires the Grotto-Heaven Realm and the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit; and an Emperor Monarch requires the Heaven and Earth Realm and the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit.
