477 Just One More Step Away

　　Unfortunately, what Chen Qianxue did not expect was that her luck seemed to have been used up. Because in the next tens of thousands of years, her cultivation actually did not make any progress. No matter how hard she cultivated, her body could not increase the slightest bit of spiritual energy.

　　After knowing that she had encountered the most troublesome situation, Chen Qianxue was not too disappointed or panicked. She also did not immediately give up on this simulation of Immortal cultivation, perhaps because she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

　　This glimmer of hope was so slim that she did not know if it really existed… It became the source of motivation for Chen Qianxue to continue the simulation of Immortal cultivation.

　　[Age 186,000, Chen Qianxue, who had cultivated for thousands of years, realized that her cultivation hadn’t improved at all. She was very clear that this wasn’t a solution. But she didn’t have any way to increase her cultivation.]

　　[At the same year, Qin Jiao broke through to the seventh level of the Mahayana stage in the Immortal Cultivation Simulator! Of course, Chen Qianxue didn’t know about this information.]

　　[Age 190,000 years old, Chen Qianxue received a message from the Immortal Cultivation Simulator — Fu Shuangni ended the Immortal cultivation simulation with her cultivation at the ninth level of the Mahayana stage!]

　　“Fu Shuangni ended the Immortal cultivation simulation?” Chen Qianxue was a little surprised, she murmured, “I remember that when I simulated Immortal cultivation the last time, I didn’t see the prompt that Fu Shuangni ended the Immortal cultivation simulation… In other words, she has been living since the last time I simulated Immortal cultivation?”

　　“Doesn’t that mean that this time, she has been living in the Immortal Cultivation Simulator for hundreds of thousands of years? At least more than 300,000 years? It’s really an unimaginable number.”

　　Chen Qianxue had lived for 190,000 years in the Immortal Cultivation Simulator, so she felt a little strange.

　　This feeling… What to call it, she could not describe it. If she had to explain it, it might be homesickness!

　　Indeed, after spending so much time in the simulator, she missed someone or something in the real world.

　　After all, Immortality was never about severing all emotions.

　　It was not about cutting off all connections.

　　If Immortal cultivation was like that… Chen Qianxue would rather not cultivate, because that would be no different from living as a puppet, right?

　　However, what she was conflicted about was… She was not quite willing to end her simulated Immortal cultivation life now.

　　After all, her Mahayana ninth level cultivation had been motionless ever since she broke through.

　　This made her feel a little unwilling.

　　Could it be that this was her limit this time?

　　Could it be that she did not have the qualifications to try transcending Tribulation and Ascending in the simulator?

　　Chen Qianxue sighed lightly.

　　“300,000 years old.” She spat out an astonishing age. “If my cultivation base is still unmoving before the age of 300,000 years old, then I will end this simulated Immortal cultivation life by myself.”

　　Chen Qianxue made such a decision.

　　…

　　At the same time.

　　On Qin Jiao’s side.

　　“Hiss!” Seeing Fu Shuangni end the simulation of Immortal cultivation, Qin Jiao could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. “Good Heavens, what kind of joke is this? Ninth level of the Mahayana stage? Ninth level! Doesn’t that mean that Fu Shuangni only needs to break through two more minor stages to be able to transcend the Tribulation and Ascend in the simulator?!”

　　“But at the last moment, she seems to have missed a move… She didn’t break through to the tenth level of the Mahayana stage. When she was at the ninth level, she ended this simulated Immortal cultivation life.”

　　“Oh… But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem particularly exaggerated. After all, Fu Shuangni has lived for so long this time and her cultivation hasn’t reached the ninth level of the Mahayana stage. That’s what’s shocking!”

　　“She has lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years.”

　　Qin Jiao seemed to have discovered a blind spot and touched her chin. She muttered, “I can break through to the Mahayana seventh level when I’m over 100,000 years old. If I’m able to live for hundreds of thousands of years, if I’m at Fu Shuangni’s age…”

　　“Does that mean my cultivation will be higher than Fu Shuangni’s? Yes! This possibility is still very high. Perhaps under the same age, I will be able to welcome the arrival of the Lightning Tribulation.”

　　“Hehehe…”

　　Compared to Chen Qianxue’s calmness, Qin Jiao’s thoughts were a little whimsical.

　　There was even a feeling of being an old woman selling melons and boasting.

　　This feeling was very strong.

　　…

　　At the same time.

　　Fu Shuangni, who had returned to the real world, did not know that Chen Qianxue and Qin Jiao were paying attention to her.

　　“I failed in the process of reaching the tenth level of the Mahayana stage! Although it was within my expectations, how could I reach that stage so easily? I’m still a little disappointed though.”

　　“In the end, it’s still my own problem. If I had been more prepared, it shouldn’t have been a problem. After all, I don’t have the experience to break through to the tenth level of the Mahayana stage!”

　　“But luckily, I have accumulated the experience of a failed breakthrough this time. Next time, I should be able to avoid the pitfalls.”

　　Fu Shuangni shook her head and threw away all the thoughts in her mind.
