Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 555 - 408: Golden Core Path

Taking a long breath, Luo Chen rubbed his temples, feeling much clearer-headed. After sorting everything out, the weight on his heart felt much lighter. Now that he knew Li Zuo's origins and purposes, the situation in Liu Jing no longer seemed as frightening and confusing as before.

At this moment, Ouyang Qian asked in confusion, "The 'True Dragon Nine Profound Transformation' is so important, and the Dragon Girl is your original partner. Why do you act like nothing happened, not seeking her even after a hundred years?"

Upon hearing this, a deep sorrow appeared in Wind Grasshopper's eyes. He remained silent for a while before speaking with a bitter smile, "It's not that I don't want to seek her, but rather that I simply cannot."

Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. Though they had some understanding of the relationship between the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land and the Eastern Realm, they hadn't known there were such hidden truths.

Wind Grasshopper continued to explain, "You must know something about the relationship between the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land and the Eastern Realm. In ancient times, the two were already separated, not only by a distance of 108,000 li but also by endless years. Now, only relying on the Teleportation Array can one travel between the two places."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, the Teleportation Array isn't a common item found everywhere. More importantly, as the years go by, those ancient teleportation formations are far from what they used to be. A cultivator with low cultivation can pass through the formation without issue, but if one's cultivation is slightly higher, like those in the Nascent Soul Realm, passing through the array will weaken the Spiritual Qi of the array and also deplete one's own Soul Power to travel between realms."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian couldn't help but gasp. They didn't expect the seemingly mysterious Teleportation Array to be so fragile.

Wind Grasshopper sighed and continued, "If one's cultivation surpasses the real person's realm, the ancient formation cannot withstand their power. Forcing the transmission will only destroy the formation, severing the connection between the Demon King's Grotto Heaven and the Eastern Realm."

Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of luck surge within them. They had initially thought the Teleportation Array was omnipotent but now see it isn't the case. At the same time, they were curious about Wind Grasshopper's cultivation. Could his cultivation realm have surpassed a real person?

"So," Luo Chen pondered, "has the Dragon Monarch's cultivation realm surpassed a real person? What realm comes after a real person?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Wind Grasshopper smiled slightly, a trace of pride shining in his eyes, "The realm beyond a real person is the Immortal Realm. However, that is a realm far out of reach. Although I've cultivated for many years, I've only touched upon some basics."

Hearing this, Ouyang Qian's eyes widened in curiosity, "What realm are you in now, Dragon Monarch?"

Wind Grasshopper said with a bitter smile, "My current cultivation is still at the peak of the real person's realm, just a step away from the Immortal Realm. However, that step is as hard to cross as an insurmountable chasm."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a deep respect. He knew that being able to cultivate to the peak of the real person realm was already quite remarkable. And Wind Grasshopper still hopes to reach the Immortal Realm, which is simply unbelievable.

At the same time, he further understood the reason Wind Grasshopper couldn't seek the Dragon Girl. The higher the cultivation, the more restrictions one faces. Though Wind Grasshopper is concerned for the Dragon Girl's safety, he is limited by his cultivation from going to the Eastern Realm to find her. The distress and sorrow in this can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen couldn't help but develop a deep respect for Wind Grasshopper. Not only is he a highly cultivated cultivator, but he is also a loyal and loving husband. For his beloved, he will spare no expense to find her. This persistence and deep affection command great admiration from Luo Chen.

Ouyang Qian showed a thoughtful expression, slowly asking, "Dragon Monarch, I'm quite interested in the cultivation system of Wei Kingdom, could you explain it in detail?"

Wind Grasshopper nodded and began to explain, "Wei Kingdom, also known as the Eastern Realm, has a cultivation system and methods that are indeed vastly different from those of the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land. In Wei Kingdom, we mainly cultivate martial fire, with cultivation realms ranging from the Flame, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, Divine Master to Real Person, each representing a different understanding and application of martial fire."

He paused for a moment and continued, "And in the Demon King's Grotto Heaven, you focus on the Golden Core Path, with realms divided into Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul. Although the cultivation systems and realms differ between the two sides, we can differentiate each other's cultivation through Soul Power. Roughly, the Flame Realm in Wei Kingdom corresponds to the Qi Refinement Realm in the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, and so on."
