The simulation continued.
[You proposed going out into the world to your master. After pondering for a long time, he agreed. However, as a genius rarely seen in Yuanchu Mountain's countless years of history, you were given many means of protection and survival, as well as a false identity for concealment.]
[You understood that all of this was necessary. There were no Monster Race members in the current Cangyuan Realm, but the human race's internal struggles were even fiercer.]
[You left Yuanchu Mountain. Like a wild horse freed from its reins, you delighted in observing and experiencing everything this world had to offer.]
[With the Eye of True Sight, you observed this world, and your understanding of the laws of heaven and earth rapidly deepened. You gradually realized that pure Sword Dao was not your path.]
[You began walking another path.]
[At the age of twenty-two, you formed a special domain with the Thirteen Sword Sha Demon Body. Within it, you could Teleport up to ten kilometers, and your mastery of techniques broke through to the Domain Realm.]
[At the age of twenty-five, you reached the third level of the Primordial Spirit and became a King-level God and Devil.]
[After returning to Yuanchu Mountain to share the good news, you continued traveling the world.]
[At the age of twenty-seven, you encountered an exceedingly proud woman. At merely thirty-three, she had become a Marquis-level God and Devil. She had likewise concealed her true identity, and you knew that someone with such talent could not be an ordinary person.]
[You came into conflict over a treasure. You revealed the strength of a King-level God and Devil and easily suppressed her, but she possessed an exceptionally powerful life-saving treasure. She escaped from your grasp and declared that she would definitely come back for you.]
[You quickly forgot about that woman and continued traveling the world.]
[At the age of thirty-two, you reached the fourth level of the Primordial Spirit.]
[At the age of forty, you reached the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit.]
[You returned to Yuanchu Mountain. Your master was delighted to learn that you had reached the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit, but he was also puzzled as to why your mastery of techniques remained at the Domain Realm. He believed that, with your talent, comprehending the rules of the Grotto-Heaven Realm should not have been difficult. You told him that you wanted to create an Ultimate Absolute Art of your own.]
[Your master was astonished by your ambition. This was something no one in the Cangyuan Realm had ever accomplished, but he soon found it only natural. Things others had no confidence in accomplishing might not necessarily be beyond you.]
[By the time you returned to Yuanchu Mountain, your Teleportation range had already reached a thousand li. You had long sensed that this was the utmost limit imposed by the laws of heaven and earth. Breaking through the thousand-li limit meant creating an Ultimate Absolute Art.]
[You remained secluded in Yuanchu Mountain for thirty years. Then, in a moment of enlightenment, you silently broke through this limit. Your master sparred with you, and by then he was already far from being your match. Yet just as he thought you would use this to break through and become a Creation Venerable, you did not. Drawing on your memories from before your transmigration and your insights from cultivation, you judged that if you broke through now, neither your Primordial Spirit realm nor your physical body realm would be sufficient to perfectly bring out the advantages of an Ultimate Absolute Art.]
[You bid farewell to your master and once again went out to travel the world.]
[The Ultimate Absolute Art greatly aided your Primordial Spirit. Before you knew it, you had reached the sixth level of the Primordial Spirit.]
[A year later, you encountered the woman from back then again. She had now become a King-level God and Devil. She recognized you at once and challenged you again, but a casual move from you was enough to utterly defeat her.]
[After some thought, you chose to let the woman go. This time, she said nothing and quietly left.]
[That same year, heaven and earth underwent a great change.]
[The Demon Race World and the Cangyuan Realm began drawing closer within the River of Time and Space. World entrances began appearing in both worlds, and overwhelming hordes of Monster Race members poured into the Cangyuan Realm.]
[You understood that the Monster Race calamity from your memories had finally arrived, but it was something you could not stop.]
[Because the two worlds had only made shallow contact at first, most of the world entrances that appeared were low-level. Thus, the monster calamity was not yet severe, and the human race could withstand it with ease. You used the formidable Teleportation abilities of your Ultimate Absolute Art to rush everywhere and provide aid.]
[At the same time, you began capturing Monster Race members to study their bodies. With the assistance of the Eye of True Sight, your understanding of the Monster Race cultivation system rapidly deepened. The Monster Race cultivated through the Physical Body System, which was entirely different from the Cangyuan Realm's True Essence System. Moreover, the Monster Race system was unsuitable for human cultivation.]
[You decided to create a body-refining system of your own. This would be the key to becoming a Creation Venerable.]
[Creating an entire cultivation system was far more difficult than you had imagined. After years of research, you had gained little. At this point, you chose: First, break through directly. Second, continue creating.]
"I had only set my goal as becoming a Creation Venerable before. If I choose to break through, this simulation will end. That's ridiculous."
Zhou Yu could not help sighing. This Cultivation Genius starting talent was truly outrageous; in the early stages of cultivation, it was practically a cheat.
Of course, this was also because the Cangyuan Realm was rather special. Zhou Yu guessed that this world might possess some unique rules. While Cultivators had extremely short lifespans, their efficiency in comprehending the Dao was much higher.
Otherwise, no matter how heaven-defying someone was, it would have been impossible for so many people to cultivate to such high levels in such a short time.
"Still, I should continue the simulation." After thinking it over, Zhou Yu quickly made his decision.
At this point, his simulated self had few rivals left in the Cangyuan Realm. The only thing that could defeat him was time, but he was not even a hundred years old in the simulation and could still be considered young. He had plenty of time.
No matter what, breaking through directly now would be quite regrettable.
[Unwilling to break through just like that, you chose to continue accumulating experience.]
[You gradually changed your approach. You felt there was no need to pursue the creation of a perfect system; you only needed to strengthen your own physical body.]
[At the age of eighty, you married the mysterious woman who had challenged you before. You encountered her many times while exterminating Monster Race members throughout the Cangyuan Realm, and that was how the two of you came together. Her true identity was the Taiyin Saintess of the Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. By convention, the Taiyin Saintess could not marry outside her sect, but your strength was now enough to break that rule.]
[You also asked her why she had agreed to marry you. If the Taiyin Saintess was no longer a virgin, it would significantly affect her cultivation. Her answer surprised you. It turned out she had long known your identity. She had always been extremely proud and confident, but your outrageous talent had stripped away any sense of superiority she had, and she had quietly fallen for you instead.]
[At the age of one hundred and five, you reached the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit. Your Primordial Spirit split into nine, and a single Teleportation could now carry you tens of thousands of li. You alone could guard the entire world. However, whenever you provided support, you acted from afar, so the Monster Race still did not know of your existence.]
[At the age of one hundred and twenty, your research gradually led you onto another path. By studying Array Dao, you easily broke through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm.]
[At the age of two hundred, your Array Dao reached the Heaven and Earth Realm, and you began using Array Dao to refine your body.]
[You regarded yourself as a vast formation, treating every tiny particle within your body as a formation foundation and drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to temper your physical body.]
[At the age of two hundred and thirty, your wife became a Creation Venerable. She gradually began worrying for you, because King-level God and Devils had lifespans of only five hundred years, and their physical bodies could only remain at their peak until the age of three hundred. Only before the age of three hundred could a King-level God and Devil break through to become a Creation Venerable.]
[You were not in a hurry. Your physical body had long become different through tempering, and you could maintain its peak condition all the way to the age of five hundred.]
[At the age of two hundred and fifty-five, your physical body had become powerful to the extreme. Your body alone was already enough to rival a Creation Venerable.]
[Your Ultimate Absolute Art, seventh-level Primordial Spirit, and Venerable-level physical body had all reached unimaginable heights. You understood that it was time to break through.]
[You successfully broke through. Your life had reached the perfect level of a Venerable.]
[Simulation successful.]
PS: In the original work, when Meng Chuan broke through to become a Venerable, he had an Ultimate Absolute Art, a seventh-level Primordial Spirit, and a Blood Drop Realm body comparable to a King-level God and Devil. However, after breaking through, he had to absorb Primal Stones to strengthen his body before he could continue improving. I think that was a flaw—what if he never encountered any Primal Stones? Wouldn't he be finished?
Personally, I think the reason may have been that his physical body was not strong enough when he broke through. Compared to the other two conditions, an Ultimate Absolute Art and a seventh-level Primordial Spirit, a King-level physical body was simply too modest. They did not seem like conditions of the same level.
So I have added a physical body requirement here to make the breakthrough more perfect. If there are any issues, everyone is welcome to point them out.
