The Wizard Path From The Simulator

Time slowly trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, eighty years had passed.

In the Cave Mansion, Milton Cheney slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze flitted across a streak of crimson light.

In the next moment, the light retracted, and the fire-attribute Spiritual Power swirling around Milton Cheney was forcibly drawn into his body.

“The Power of Merit is truly remarkable; it’s such a tremendous help in cultivation.”

Milton Cheney felt deeply in his heart.

His greatest gain from coming to the Northern Thirteen Domains was this Power of Merit.

After obtaining the Power of Merit, Milton Cheney didn’t use it indiscriminately, so over these eighty years, he used very little of it.

Once he understood the wonders of the Power of Merit, Milton Cheney then decided its future uses.

The Power of Merit was tied to fate.

You see, for cultivators attempting to break through after the Nascent Soul Realm, there are bottlenecks at every turn.

These bottlenecks exist not just at Great Realms but also in making breakthroughs within Small Realms.

However, the greatest aid the Power of Merit can offer a cultivator is to help them break through the bottlenecks between different Realms.

In the Cultivation Realm, a cultivator’s Realm is fundamental.

Whether it’s Techniques and Methods or Fighting Method, everything centers around the Realm.

The weakest Deity Transformation Cultivator is still beyond what a Nascent Soul Cultivator can handle.

But the Power of Merit can help cultivators smash through these bottlenecks, and just this aspect alone showcases its invaluable worth.

No opportunity can match the real progression in Realm.

No matter how high one’s talent may be, there’s always the possibility of falling before reaching full potential.

Now that Milton Cheney has the help of the Power of Merit, he is certain to go much further in this world.

He might even achieve a higher Realm in this world than in his actual life.

When that time comes, everything preserved from this Reincarnation Simulation will feed back into reality, providing him with enormous help.

“It’s a pity that even with the Power of Merit, eighty years isn’t enough for me to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage,”

Milton Cheney mused to himself.

Over these eighty years, aside from the initial period when he exchanged some resources,

he spent all his time in bitter cultivation within this Cave Mansion.

With the Power of Merit aiding his cultivation, these eighty years were roughly equivalent to a thousand years of cultivation for a normal Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator.

Yet even so, Milton Cheney was still quite a distance from the late Nascent Soul stage.

After all, the difficulty increases for a Nascent Soul Cultivator with every Small Realm breakthrough.

However, this is actually because Milton Cheney did not use the hundred-thousand-year-old Blazing Flame Crystal Stone for cultivation.

If he had used that Crystal Stone, he might have already been at the late Nascent Soul stage by now.

Of course, Milton Cheney clearly understood what was more important.

The reason he didn’t use that Crystal Stone was fundamentally because it would have been somewhat wasteful to use it at his current stage.

He planned to use that Crystal Stone after breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage or reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.

After all, there was only one hundred-thousand-year-old Blazing Flame Crystal Stone, and it was irreplaceable.

And it had only been eighty years, he still had plenty of time, and there was no rush.

“Nearly a century has passed; it’s time to return to the Sect.”

With a thought from Milton Cheney, his figure disappeared from the Cave Mansion in the next moment.

The fortune he had gained this time was sufficient to support him in cultivating to the Deity Transformation Realm upon his return to the Sect.

Now, cultivating in the Northern Thirteen Domains and cultivating within the Purple Melody True Sect made little difference.

Cultivation within the Purple Melody True Sect might even be somewhat faster.

After all, he had exclusive access to an entire fourth-order Spiritual Vein in the Purple Melody True Sect.

Even if the difference was negligible for Milton Cheney, it was still better to cultivate faster if possible.

……

Time slipped away like grains of sand, and another eight years passed.

Purple Melody True Sect, Mystic Realm Cave Mansion.

Milton Cheney’s breathing itself was cultivation.

If anyone were here, they would find that the rate at which Milton Cheney absorbed Spiritual Energy was astonishing.

The normal Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivators were no match for him.

Atop the Spiritual Vein, Milton Cheney’s body was now completely engulfed in a blaze.

With crimson light scattering, a tremendously hot aura emanated from all around him.

“My foundation is still a bit shallow,”

Milton Cheney exhaled a breath of crimson Spiritual Energy, whispering to himself.

At this point, he could actually make a direct Breakthrough into the late Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, if he were to do it by himself, he’d only have an 80% chance of success, but with the aid of the Power of Merit, the success rate would be 100%.

However, Milton Cheney had no intention of doing so.

Using the Power of Merit to break through the small bottlenecks within the Nascent Soul Realm would be far too wasteful.

Milton Cheney had only three hundred and sixty threads of the Power of Merit, which amounted to one unit.

While not insignificant, that was definitely not abundant.

Milton Cheney preferred to conserve it wherever he could.

After all, Deity Transformation still lay ahead.

In this world, Deity Transformation was almost the limit that a cultivator could reach.

From what Milton Cheney had learned in the Northern Thirteen Domains, the deities backing the Top Ten Immortal Doors were only at the early stage of Deity Transformation.

In this world, whether one had a Heavenly Spiritual Root or an Earth Spiritual Root, the limit was the early stage of Deity Transformation.

At this level, without defying fate, there’s no way to advance further.

Thus, Milton Cheney never intended to use the Power of Merit to overcome the small bottlenecks within the Nascent Soul Realm from the start.

Milton Cheney’s plan was to apply the Power of Merit to the breakthrough from Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation, from initial Deity Transformation to the mid-Deity Transformation stage, and from mid-Deity Transformation to the late Deity Transformation stage.
