Cultivation Online novel Chapter 948

Chapter 948 - The Truth About Cultivation Online

"Before I tell you about the truth about Cultivation Online, let me ask you this… Do you know how it works? How you can visit the Nine Heavens through Cultivation Online?" The Lord asked.

Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking, "It obviously has something to do with the console we put on our head, but I have inspected it multiple times, even taking it apart. Despite that, I couldn't find anything special about it."

"I'm not surprised, since you don't have the means to see the formation."

"Formation? There is a formation in the console?"

"Yes, and it's actually two different formations, both fairly powerful formations called the Soul Transference Array and the Spirit Avatar Array."

"The Soul Transference Array transfers a part of your soul to the Nine Heavens— just enough so that your actual body doesn't become soulless and die, and the Spirit Avatar Array transforms your separated soul into an avatar— your character."

"This is why Cultivation Online feels so real— because it's a real world, and you're there as a soul."

Yuan frowned upon hearing this, "Our soul? Isn't that really bad? If one's soul is damaged even in the slightest, it could really mess up a person's life and turn them braindead. If our character is our soul, doesn't that mean all damages inflicted on the character will also be inflicted on our soul?"

"Indeed, but you don't need to worry about that too much. While it's true that your character is made out of your soul, it's not entirely your soul. Unless you are hit by techniques specifically meant to damage one's soul, your soul won't get damaged."

"With that being said, if you die in Cultivation Online, there is a high chance that your actual soul will be damaged. This is why when players die, many of them lose their ability to cultivate— both in Cultivation Online and real life." The Lord explained.

"Of course, it's not guaranteed, hence why some people can still cultivate after they die. It is also the reason why even if you switch consoles, your character will remain the same."

"The heck?! How dare you tell me to not worry about it too much! That's super worrisome! Which genius decided to put our souls at risk while hiding the fact? And for what reason?" Yuan asked, feeling a little frustrated by the truth.

The Lord took a deep breath and spoke, "The Celestial Emperor."

"Hah? You mean the guy who rules over the Nine Heavens? Why on earth would he do such a thing?"

"Unfortunately, I do not know his intentions or goal. However, if I had to take a guess, I believe that he's trying to recruit talented people through Cultivation Online."

"How do I know that you're telling the truth?" Yuan suddenly said.
