Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 218 - 156: Thousand Years_1
Chapter 218: Chapter 156: Thousand Years_1
Translator: 549690339
Time flitted by, and the years flew, just like that, two thousand years had passed.
In five hundred years, everything can change beyond recognition.
In two thousand years, even more so, it’s a completely different world.
In an ancient, dilapidated temple, amongst the eerie Ghost Realm, a fierce battle was raging on.
“Is the spell ready yet? This old ghost hits so hard, I can barely hold on anymore.”
“Of course the damage is high; it’s a Yin Sha attack. I told you to stack up on magic defense, but you wouldn’t listen!”
“Old Five, cast another Golden Light Spell on him; others start chanting the Returning Qi Spell for recovery.”
“Heavenly Master, you should stop calling yourself that and start going by ‘Turtle Spirit.’ How long have you been holding onto that spell?”
“Alright, alright, eat my ultimate move—Five Thunder Spell!”
“Boom!!!”
With a thunderous roar, lightning struck from the sky. The Yin Sha ghost, who was entangled in battle with several soldier-armored martial artists, couldn’t dodge in time. He was directly blasted by the heavenly thunder on his head, exploding into dark streams and scattering his soul to the winds.
The dark streams dissipated in all directions, leaving behind only a wooden chest, lying quietly on the spot.
“Phew!”
“We finally took care of it!”
“Hiss, it’s so cold, so cold, cast another Golden Light Spell on me quickly, this Yin Sha is unbearable.”
“Damn, I’m just a Qi Cultivation mage, where am I supposed to get so much mana from? The previous spells were all cast using talismans, you’re on your own with this one.”
“Tsk, stingy ghost!”
“It’s your own damn fault for choosing to be a martial artist—robust in Qi Blood, full in spirit. Isn’t it clear that it’s a profession designed to be a meat shield?”
“Nonsense, if I had money, who would want to be a martial artist? I would have gone for the Flying Sword long ago. It’s both dashing and practical. That guy next door, with just his skill in the Flying Sword, got together with a fox lady as his cultivator companion.”
“Damn, I also want a fox lady, aaargh!”
“Okay, okay, incel, keep it down!”
Chu Nan shook his head at the armored martial artists venting their frustrations and stepped forward to open the wooden chest.
Afterward…
“Holy moly!”
Even Chu Nan couldn’t help but widen his eyes at the sight of the golden little sword inside the chest: “It dropped the Xuanyuan!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, everyone around him quickly gathered to look at the golden little sword inside the chest, all of them dumbstruck.
“Damn!”
“It actually dropped the Xuanyuan!”
“Don’t curse like that, we are all cultivators, can’t we be a little more cultured?”
“Cut it out, I follow the Spiritual Root Flow. What do I need culture for? Not like you, the big moralizing Heavenly Master.”
“Even if you follow the Spiritual Root Flow, cultivating your character is still beneficial. As the saying goes…”

“Alright, alright, I get it. Big brother, I just want to relax in the game.”
“This is called the pure heart of a child, acting freely and naturally.”
“What are you folks babbling about? We got a Xuanyuan, how do we split it?”
“Right, right, right, I always thought we’d have to beat some ultra-tough boss to get a drop of Xuanyuan. Never expected this old ghost could drop it.”
“I heard that the chance for the old ghost to drop Xuanyuan is only one in ten thousand!”
“We’re gonna be rich now…”
Everyone huddled together, eyeing the golden little sword in the chest with excitement.
“Ahem!”
Chu Nan cleared his throat and claimed his authority as both the group leader and team captain: “I guess everyone is clear on the value of Xuanyuan. I won’t waste words. Let’s have an internal auction. Does anyone want to bid?”
“This…”
“I bid five thousand!”
“Damn, as expected of the young master of a Golden Core family, tossing out five thousand just like that!”
“Big bro, you’re a martial artist; what do you need a Flying Sword for with that much money?”
“You don’t know; he has a crush on the class beauty next door. She’s a fox lady from the Xin Family.”
“As everyone knows, to become a dao companion with a Xin Family’s fox, you must meet at least one of the following criteria!”
“First, your surname is Li; second, you are exceptionally talented in literature; third, your swordsmanship is unparalleled; fourth…”
“Big brother, which one do you satisfy?”
“The reason I don’t satisfy any is exactly why I need to use other things to charm her! I’ve heard the lady is currently practicing the Xuanyuan Divine Sword Jue in the game and is preparing to refine a magical Xuanyuan Divine Sword to challenge the tree demon. Naturally, our great ‘god of war’ wants to make a grand gesture to win her favor.”
“Bro, take my advice. Being a ‘simp’ has no future.”
As everyone was talking over each other again, Chu Nan was helpless: “The ‘god of war’ bids five thousand, anyone else wants to bid?”
“This…”
“I bid six thousand!”
“Wow, Heavenly Master, you’re also interested in the fox lady?”
“Humph, I am devoted to Taoism, what fox lady or dao companion, they are all but beautiful skeletons!”
“Then why bid for this Xuanyuan?”
“Nonsense, I am a Heavenly Master who practices the Thunder Series, it’s only natural to use the Xuanyuan, isn’t it?”
“Right, right, right, how could I have forgotten about this?”
“Seven thousand, Heavenly Master, just let me have it, my life’s happiness is at stake here.”
After a speechless tussle, the golden little sword was finally pocketed by “the Martial God”.
Chu Nan, according to the proportion of contribution, distributed the Taoist money to everyone and then said, “Alright, the mission is complete. I’m logging off now. Tomorrow is the college entrance exam; you all shouldn’t stay in the game for too long either.”
“Got it.”
“By the way, team leader, which school are you planning to test for?”
“No brainer, with the team leader’s grades, he’s definitely aiming for Wandao School.”
“Wandao School, I really want to get in too, but I heard it’s incredibly tough.”
“Actually, it’s not that hard. Just be born with a better lot, with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and you’ll be fine.”
“Heavenly Spiritual Root, easy for you to say. Why don’t you go and be born with one?”
“It’s best to be like our team leader and the Heavenly Master, who work hard after birth to become top scholars!”
“Team leader…”
As everyone spoke at once, they looked back to find that Chu Nan had already disappeared in a flash of light.
“Phew!!”
In his room, Chu Nan removed his gaming helmet, felt the meager amount of mana within his body, and reminisced about the powerful cultivation he had in the game. Confronted with the stark gap, he sighed a sentiment many had before him.
“Wouldn’t it be great if real-life cultivation was the same as it is in the game?”
“Sigh!”
He shook his head, stood up, and walked into the living room.
In that living room, a middle-aged man was lying on the sofa, idly watching television. freewebnoveℓ.com
“Divine Soul Technique, Fake Cultivation Skill, the Divine Domain technology has made a major breakthrough. Wandao School has launched a brand-new Divine Domain product—the Yellow Beam Game Warehouse!”
“Compared to the ordinary Divine Domain gaming helmets, the Yellow Beam Game Warehouse has the following advantages.”
“First, the realism is significantly increased, reaching up to ninety percent, and it is already being used in Wandao School and various other colleges for all kinds of simulation experiments. Many technical difficulties have been overcome as a result.”
“Wandao School has clearly stated that using the Yellow Beam Game Warehouse, breakthroughs, battles, cultivation, talisman making, formation setting, alchemy and artifact refining, and various other matters in the game can all be counted as experience that can be applied in real life cultivation.”
“Second, the Yellow Beam Game Warehouse is equipped with the Spirit Gathering Array and the Essence Nurturing Array. It can also be used in conjunction with various Spirit Pills and Spirit Liquids to prolong gaming time, while simultaneously taking care of cultivation and earning more academic credits.”
“Third, the Yellow Beam Game Warehouse complements the Fake Cultivation Skill. Wandao School has specified that using the Yellow Beam Game Warehouse to study Taoist Scriptures can effectively enhance the cultivation effect of the Fake Cultivation Skill.”
“Fourth…”
“This breakthrough in Divine Domain technology, the development of the Yellow Beam Game Warehouse, was mainly by the following personnel: True Monarch Mingxin of Wandao School’s Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute, True Monarch Mengyang of Wandao School’s Mingxiao Taoist Institute, True Monarch Dongting of Wandao School’s Pure Yang Taoist School, True Person Xishan of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute, True Person North Wind of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute, True Person Qingyu of the Mingxiao Taoist Institute…”
“The aforementioned three True Monarchs are officially awarded the title of ‘Heavenly Master,’ as well as the main role in the blessing ceremony of the 983rd Luotian Dajiao.”
“The aforementioned ten True Persons are officially awarded the title of ‘True Monarch,’ as well as the deputy role in the 983rd Luotian Dajiao.”
“Now, the Yellow Beam Game Warehouse presale event officially starts. Order now to enjoy a ten percent discount, limited quantities available, first come first served…”
Watching the advertisement on television and then looking at his father on the sofa, who was excited and restless, Chu Nan couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, you’re not really thinking of buying one, are you?”
“How did you know?”
Chu Zhan sat up, excitedly saying, “The latest product from Wandao School has so many benefits. Your mom and your grandparents all practice with the Fake Cultivation Skill; if we buy it, our whole family can use it…”
“Of course, I know about this thing, but the price…”
Looking at his excited father, Chu Nan helplessly shook his head, “Can we afford it?”
“Well…”
Chu Zhan scratched his head, then said, “We could take out a loan. After all, I am a Golden Core Martial Artist and I still have a good hundred years ahead of me. We can borrow the money and slowly pay it back. We’ll definitely be able to repay it, and if not, there’s always you. I believe in my son, you’ll definitely get into Wandao School, maybe even win a scholarship from the school…”
“Go on, stop banking on Nan’s scholarship!”
Before he could finish, a woman walked out of the kitchen, “Nan, don’t listen to your dad. He’s always swift to act on his impulses. Come, dinner’s ready. I’ve made quite a few delicacies today to ensure you go into the exam room tomorrow smoothly, perform beyond your usual abilities, and surely get into Wandao School.”
“Right, right, right!”
Chu Zhan also sat up and said, “Your mom has gone through a lot of trouble for you. She bought top-quality Spirit Rice, precious beast spiritual meat, and even got a cup of that precious Spiritual Wine your grandfather keeps, just for us. Our father-son duo is in luck today.”
“Spiritual Wine?”
Chu Nan, upon hearing this, was also taken aback, “It’s not the one that Grandpa always talks about, is it?”
“It is exactly that one. Back when Wandao School was still Guo Bei Academy, your grandfather used academic credits to exchange for it, and then it became a treasured family heirloom of your mother’s side, revered as if divine, only brought out once when your mother and I got married, and not even allowed an extra glance since.”
Chu Zhan patted Chu Nan’s shoulder, “Today, your dad is lucky thanks to you.”
Chu Nan: “…”
“Oh, come on, you old man, always trying to compete with your son for food,” the woman chided him with a glance.
Chu Zhan didn’t mind, chuckling as he sat down at the table, then asked again, “Nan, are you really not going to reconsider, maybe change your intended major? The Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute, I heard it’s one of the most fiercely competitive institutes in Wandao School, you know!”
“No, thanks.”
Chu Nan shook his head and said firmly, “I am definitely getting into the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute!”
Seeing this, Chu Zhan was helpless and could only pat his shoulder and say, “Getting into the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute, you’ll need at least a few decades before you could possibly operate the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor. It’s different with other institutes; just a few years and…”
“No!”
Chu Nan shook his head, his expression resolute, “I must pilot the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor!”
Chu Zhan fell silent, then tried to persuade again, “What if you consider Yin Mountain Taoist Academy, even though it’s made of paper, the Ghost God Mech Armor is still a mech. Spirit treasures aren’t exactly affordable for ordinary folks, but ghost gods are different. If all else fails, once you graduate, your dad can go ahead to Yin Mountain Mansion to start working…”
“No!”
“I am going to operate the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor!”
