From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

Even Ye Qingmei has Wu Zhu by her side, do you really think that I, the Holy Son, wouldn't even have a Grandmaster by my side?

Or do you think this Holy Son only has one Heavenly Thunder Magic Treasure? Little do you know, you've already been targeted by dozens of Heavenly Thunder Magic Treasures. The slightest movement from you will result in your head being blown off."

Although Xiao Feng's tone was calm, every word he spoke was like a mountain pressing down on Emperor Qing, making it hard for him to breathe and causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Only then did Emperor Qing realize that Ye Qingmei was nothing compared to Xiao Feng. Even though he was already a Grandmaster, he still felt completely insecure after Xiao Feng said that.

"But you don't need to worry, this Holy Son will not cause you any trouble because of Ye Qingmei."

Seeing that Emperor Qing's face had turned pale with fright, Xiao Feng changed the subject and said, "Although Ye Qingmei was my most beloved maid in the past, I hate treacherous people the most. Even if you don't kill her, I will send someone to kill her."

Hearing Xiao Feng say this, Emperor Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry! This Holy Son has entered the mortal realm only to use the worldly energy to undergo a tribulation!"

"The tribulations of the mortal world?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar ranking, Emperor Qing couldn't help but show a curious look.

"Xu Chu, explain the meaning of 'mortal tribulation' to him."

"I obey my orders."

Xu Chu first bowed to Xiao Feng, then turned to Emperor Qing and explained: "This world can be roughly divided into two parts: the mortal world and the cultivation world."

The mortal realm has scarce spiritual energy, making it unsuitable for cultivation, so it was designated for mortals to inhabit.

The cultivation world is rich in spiritual energy, making it more suitable for cultivators to live in. The temple you mentioned is the entrance to the cultivation world.

Cultivators can be divided into five major realms from low to high: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation.

Even the weakest Qi Refining stage cultivator can mobilize the power of heaven and earth, making them far stronger than ordinary martial artists—what you call a Grandmaster.

Originally, there were no cultivators in the mortal world, because to become a cultivator, one not only needs the corresponding cultivation techniques, but also needs to possess spiritual roots.

Only those with spiritual roots can absorb and contain the power of heaven and earth, thereby gaining control over it.

[So that's how it is! No wonder there are only four Grandmasters in the world after all these years. It turns out that to break through to the Grandmaster level, one needs spiritual roots.]

After learning many secrets about the cultivation world from Xu Chu, Emperor Qing was overwhelmed with emotion, and many questions he couldn't understand before were easily answered.

Although Emperor Qing did not take on many disciples, Ku He and his group took on quite a few, including some exceptionally talented individuals, yet no new Grandmaster emerged.

Moreover, Emperor Qing's talent for cultivation was only average, far inferior to peerless geniuses like Haitang Duoduo, yet he still became a Grandmaster.

Based on what Xu Chu just said, it's clear that for cultivators, spiritual roots are far more important than cultivation talent.

Those mortals who are born without spiritual roots can never become grandmasters, no matter how hard they cultivate until they die.

"Besides being far stronger than ordinary martial artists, the biggest difference between Qi Refining stage cultivators and ordinary martial artists is the difference in lifespan."

Xu Chu said calmly, "The lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator can reach 150 years, while a Foundation Establishment cultivator can have an additional 150 years of lifespan, reaching 300 years old."

As for Core Formation stage cultivators, their lifespan can reach five hundred years. Even in the cultivation world, they would be considered a powerful figure, capable of influencing the rise and fall of a cultivation family.

His Highness the Holy Son is a peak Core Formation stage cultivator. He only needs to overcome the Tribulation of the Mortal Realm to break through to the early Nascent Soul stage.

Nascent Soul stage cultivators have a lifespan of up to a thousand years, and in the cultivation world, they can be called sects or ancestors, dominating a region.

His Highness's master, who is also the Holy Master of our Divine Temple Sect, is an unparalleled expert at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

"If only His Majesty's cultivation advances even further, he can break through to the legendary Nascent Soul stage, and then ascend to the God Realm, living as long as heaven and earth."

[Ascending to the God Realm, to live as long as heaven and earth? I never imagined there were so many realms above the Grandmaster level. I must find a way to obtain cultivation techniques for the Qi Refining stage and beyond.]

Upon learning that Nascent Soul stage cultivators could achieve immortality, Emperor Qing harbored unprecedented ambitions.

The greater the power a person has, the more afraid they are of death, and Emperor Qing was no exception.

For Emperor Qing, who already stands at the pinnacle of power in the Qing Kingdom, what could be more attractive than immortality?

"With His Highness's talent for cultivation, he would have only needed to cultivate in seclusion for another twenty or thirty years to naturally break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Xu Chu then earnestly deceived him, saying, "It's a pity that the Holy Lord is about to ascend to the Divine Realm. At most, he can only suppress his cultivation for another three to five years before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and ascending to the Divine Realm."

Therefore, His Highness the Holy Son only sealed most of his cultivation, entering the mortal world as a mortal to hone his Dao heart with the help of the mortal world's energy. Only in this way could he hope to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within three years and inherit the position of the next Holy Lord.

No wonder this guy's aura was so weak, only around a sixth-grade martial artist; it turns out he'd sealed his cultivation.

Having been completely fooled, Emperor Qing couldn't help but start to imagine things. He then feigned concern and asked, "Your Highness, your cultivation is currently sealed. What if you encounter danger?"

Chapter 278. Xiao the Great Deceiver is Online (Third Update, Please Vote)

278.

"With me and Xu Chu protecting him closely, there is no one in the mortal world who can harm His Highness the Holy Son."

Dian Wei said in a deep voice, "However, if His Highness the Holy Son's enemies find out that His Highness is undergoing the tribulation of the mortal world, they will inevitably cause trouble in the dark. Therefore, it is necessary to conceal His Highness the Holy Son's identity."

Otherwise, if His Highness is forced to release the seal on his cultivation, this tribulation in the mortal world will be considered a failure, and he will have to wait several more decades to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"I see. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my utmost to help you overcome this tribulation in the mortal world."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Xiao Feng nodded slightly and said, "As long as I successfully overcome this tribulation in the mortal world, I will not treat you meritorious people unfairly. At that time, I can bestow upon you a cultivation technique that can be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Holy Son."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing could not hide his excitement and hurriedly bowed to Xiao Feng.

After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators can live up to three hundred years old. As long as Emperor Qing can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he will have plenty of time to find a way to obtain subsequent cultivation techniques.

"what?"

Xiao Feng suddenly revealed a look of surprise and doubt: "It's truly like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to me effortlessly. I never expected to encounter the person destined for this calamity here."

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, you two wait here. This Holy Son is going to personally meet the one destined for this calamity.

"I obey my orders!"

After watching Xiao Feng leave the main hall, Emperor Qing couldn't help but ask curiously, "My two divine envoys, may I ask what the meaning of 'the one destined for calamity' is?"

"Those who are destined for tribulation are a special group that only cultivators undergoing tribulation in the mortal world will encounter. Their fates will be intertwined with those undergoing tribulation, thus affecting the power and duration of the tribulation."

Dian Wei glanced at Emperor Qing and said, "Different methods are needed to deal with different people who are destined for calamity. You can choose to kill them or subdue them."

If the correct approach is taken, the power and duration of the mortal tribulation can be weakened; however, if the wrong choice is made, the power and duration of the mortal tribulation will be increased.

Because the fates of those destined for tribulation and those undergoing tribulation are intertwined, we outsiders must not interfere when His Highness deals with those destined for tribulation. Otherwise, the power of Heaven would consider it cheating, thus amplifying the power of the mortal tribulation.

"Oh~"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.

At the same time, Xiao Feng also arrived at the side hall of Qing Temple.

It was a temple much smaller than the main hall, surrounded by a blue stone wall.

In the center of the side hall stood an incense table, which was extremely large and covered with a layer of yellow silk cloth, with the edges hanging down to the floor.

On the altar sat an exquisite porcelain incense burner, with three sticks of incense burning inside, emitting a refreshing fragrance that soothes the soul.

The surrounding walls are painted with murals that resemble oil paintings, depicting mythological stories from the time of Yu the Great's flood control efforts.

Xiao Feng glanced around and finally his gaze landed on the incense table. He smiled with a hint of amusement and walked over to it unhurriedly.

As Xiao Feng lifted the yellow silk cloth, a beautiful young woman in a white dress appeared in his line of sight.

The girl had delicate features and pale skin. She had big, expressive eyes that looked timidly at Xiao Feng, and she was holding a chicken leg with a small bite taken out of it.

The girl, her pretty face slightly flushed as Xiao Feng stared intently at her, asked, "Who...who are you?"

"My name is Xiao Feng. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"I... cough cough cough..."

Before the girl could finish speaking, a strange flush appeared on her pretty face, and she couldn't help but cough violently, uncontrollably coughing up a small mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng immediately reached out and grabbed the girl's wrist to take her pulse.

"This is……"

Feeling the girl's weak pulse, Xiao Feng frowned slightly: "Tuberculosis?"

Seeing that Xiao Feng knew she had tuberculosis just by taking her pulse, the girl couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You know medicine?"

After all, in the girl's mind, doctors should all be middle-aged men or old men. This was the first time she had seen a doctor as young as Xiao Feng.

"Of course, my medical skills are very advanced, inherited from the 'Ghost Doctor' Jiang Chen."

Facing the girl's curious gaze, Xiao Feng said proudly, "Let alone mere tuberculosis, even if someone pierces your heart, as long as you've been dead for less than two days, Jiang Chen can bring you back to life by transplanting your heart."

"Really? He can even bring the dead back to life? This Jiang Chen is simply too amazing!"

The girl was first surprised by Jiang Chen's superb medical skills, and then asked expectantly, "Can you help me find Jiang Chen and treat my tuberculosis?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. Jiang Chen is always elusive, and she's also skilled in disguise. Unless she's willing to show herself, no one will be able to find her."

Seeing the expectation on the girl's face gradually turn into disappointment, Xiao Feng quickly changed the subject and said, "It's just a minor tuberculosis, there's no need to ask Jiang Chen for help, I can cure you myself."

"Really...really?"

Upon hearing this, the girl's large, watery eyes regained their sparkle of hope.

"If you don't believe me, I can treat you right now. Although I can't cure it completely, I can help relieve the pain of tuberculosis and make you stop coughing for three days."

"Then it's all your fault."

Just as Xiao Feng was using a special massage technique, supplemented by stimulating the girl's acupoints with his fighting spirit to help alleviate her tuberculosis, Fan Xian also arrived outside the Qing Temple.

The reason Fan Xian appeared outside the Qing Temple was because Emperor Qing secretly sent someone to lure him there.

Emperor Qing originally intended to take this opportunity to let Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er meet privately, thereby dispelling his resistance to the arranged marriage.

As a result, Emperor Qing did not expect Xiao Feng and his group to arrive, which directly disrupted all his plans.

Now that Lin Wan'er has become the so-called "person destined for disaster," Emperor Qing dared not let Fan Xian disturb Xiao Feng, so he could only have Gong Dian step in and drive him away.

More than half an hour passed before Lin Wan'er's first treatment finally ended, her pretty face almost flushed red.

Although Lin Wan'er did feel much better after being treated by Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng had touched her all over her body.

"Miss Lin, you don't need to be shy. In the eyes of us doctors, there is no distinction between men and women when it comes to patients."
