Chapter 128: Guo Qing, Great Principal Golden Immortal

[As soon as you saw Bai Ruoxue's appearance, you instantly recalled the scene from a previous simulation where Bai Ruoxue suddenly lost her memory.]

[Could it be the same this time?]

[But why?]

[You clearly remember that in multiple simulations before, Bai Ruoxue had also entered the Heavenly Profound Temple.]

[But each time she came out, she didn't show any signs of amnesia.]

[You think it might be a coincidence. After all, the last time Bai Ruoxue showed symptoms of amnesia was because you mentioned something about her sealed memories during that simulation.]

[Forcing her to recall led to her amnesia; but this time, you only asked about the Heavenly Profound Temple.]

[Since Bai Ruoxue came here, it indicates that her memory in this regard is not completely sealed. So, you don't think it's because of your questioning.]

[As for the issue with the Heavenly Profound Sword, you didn't ask about it; Bai Ruoxue mentioned it herself, so that shouldn't be a problem either.]

[Just as you were puzzled, you saw a wisp of white light appear on the Heavenly Profound Sword, enveloping Bai Ruoxue.]

[Gradually, Bai Ruoxue calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.]

[Then, a phantom figure floated out from the Heavenly Profound Sword, gently stroked Bai Ruoxue's hair, and sighed softly, "Sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up!"]

[Seeing this, the first thing that came to your mind was a Sword Spirit.]

[In the novels you read in your previous life, many had such settings.]

[However, with your Absolute Rationality, you didn't immediately take this as the accurate answer.]

[After all, with your limited knowledge of the Immortal Dao, you don't know if Sword Spirits exist in this world.]

[So, you immediately used the Eye of Insight on it.]

[Whether you could see the information of this phantom figure, you were unsure.]

[Previously, when you felt that the Heavenly Profound Sword seemed to have intelligence, you used the Eye of Insight to check it.]

[At that time, you thought that if the sword had intelligence, the Eye of Insight might be able to see its information, but it turned out it couldn't.]

[And now this phantom figure floated out from the Heavenly Profound Sword.]

[You used the Eye of Insight to probe him, just to try your luck.]

[After all, no matter how you look at it, he is one with the Heavenly Profound Sword. Since you couldn't see the sword's information, could you see his?]

[Soon, you got the answer: Yes!]

[The Eye of Insight indeed saw the information of this phantom figure.]

[At this moment, you didn't have time to ponder the logic of the Eye of Insight.]

[Because the information about this phantom figure had already caused a huge wave in your heart.]

[The information seen by the Eye of Insight was as follows: Guo Qing: Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sword (Unrecognized), Great Principal Golden Immortal Level (Fragmented), former master of the Heavenly Profound Temple, Bai Ruoxue's senior brother.]

[Note: After recognizing a master, the Sword Spirit's level will change according to the master's level.]

[Through this information, you have confirmed that Sword Spirits do exist in this world.]

[But that's no longer the point.]

[You keep thinking, what exactly is going on?]

[Didn't Bai Ruoxue say that the Heavenly Profound Sword was her senior brother's sword?]

[Why did her senior brother become the Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sword?]

[Moreover, her senior brother is so powerful. As a Sword Spirit, he is a Great Principal Golden Immortal (Fragmented). If he were alive, wouldn't he be at the Great Principal Golden Immortal level?]

[You think this is highly likely.]

[At this moment, you suddenly recall how smoothly Bai Ruoxue brought you into the Heavenly Profound Temple!]

[Does she really not know that her senior brother is the Sword Spirit?]

[Although no other secrets were found in the Heavenly Profound Temple, if you forcibly tried to take the Heavenly Profound Sword after she brought you in, would she really not care?]

[Even if it can't recognize a master, taking the Heavenly Profound Sword away wouldn't be good for Bai Ruoxue!]

[So, does Bai Ruoxue know that the Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sword is her senior brother? Did she bring you here to resist you?]

[After all, you had controlled Bai Ruoxue before, and she was just a prisoner.]

[If she knew that the Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sword in the Heavenly Profound Temple was her senior brother, bringing you here to save herself seems reasonable!]

[But if that's the case, what did Bai Ruoxue mean by telling you not to target the Heavenly Profound Sword just now? It seems a bit redundant.]

[You feel there must be some information you don't know.]

[But no matter what, you think you were careless this time.]

[You keep reflecting, thinking you were too confident in the information you had obtained before, a bit arrogant.]

[After all, all the information obtained from previous simulations proved that in the Southern Regions, besides the Mystic Turtle and Shen Wutian in the ancient land, the strongest were only at the Tribulation Crossing stage.]

[Who would have thought that there would be such a heaven-defying Sword Spirit here!]

[Just as you were deep in thought, the phantom figure Guo Qing had already gently placed Bai Ruoxue aside.]

[After finishing everything, he turned to look at you, a hint of killing intent in his eyes, as if he could strike at any moment.]

[Seeing that the situation was not right, knowing you were not his match, you quickly spoke, "Senior, is there some misunderstanding between us!"]

[Sword Spirit Guo Qing snorted coldly, "Hmph, Xue'er used the secret language to wake me up, and you still want to argue."]

[After saying that, Guo Qing instantly merged with the Heavenly Profound Sword, and a majestic aura surged out.]

[In an instant, the sky changed color!]

[At this moment, you already understood why Bai Ruoxue's seemingly redundant reminder was necessary.]

[It must have been a method to wake Guo Qing.]

[Otherwise, Guo Qing wouldn't have said that Bai Ruoxue used the secret language to wake him up.]

[However, now is not the time to think about this. You didn't continue to ponder.]

[Looking at the aura of the Heavenly Profound Sword and the cultivation level of Guo Qing you saw earlier, you knew you couldn't win this fight!]

[So, you silently chanted, "Activate Mortal Realm!"]

[You directly used the talent you obtained this time, which is also your strongest trump card at the moment.]

[But you were not confident, you could only gamble.]

[After all, the introduction of the Mortal Realm said it was useless against the Great Principal Golden Immortal level.]

[And Guo Qing's information was Great Principal Golden Immortal level (Fragmented), you were unsure if it would work on him.]

["Ding!" As soon as you activated the Mortal Realm, the Heavenly Profound Sword instantly fell to the ground, losing its previous soaring aura, as if it had turned into an ordinary piece of iron.]

[Sword Spirit Guo Qing also floated out from the Heavenly Profound Sword, and you could no longer sense any cultivation from him.]

[Seeing this, you breathed a sigh of relief.]

[Fortunately, the Great Principal Golden Immortal (Fragmented) was also within the control range of the Mortal Realm.]

[At this moment, you yourself also instantly turned into a mortal. Martial Dao, Immortal Dao, even Divine Dao, all could not be used.]

[Even the enhanced physical strength had turned into that of a mortal body.]

[Seeing this situation, you sighed inwardly, why didn't this talent have any obvious flaws?]

[That's right, you previously thought this talent couldn't turn all cultivation systems into mortals.]

Chapter 129: The just and dignified you, deceiving the limping Guo Qing

[After all, every talent the simulator has given you before had some flaws.]

[You used to think that if you couldn't eliminate all cultivation systems, you could still rely on other systems to fight.]

[But now, that idea has been shattered.]

[In the past, you would never have imagined that one day you would hope the talents given by the simulator had flaws.]

[However, no matter what, you are safe now.]

[Although you have turned into a mortal, the Heavenly Profound Sword has also become mere ordinary iron, which is to your advantage.]

[As for the Sword Spirit Guo Qing?]

[Well, he is becoming more and more ethereal, as if he is dissipating.]

[Seeing this, you ponder for a moment and come up with some ideas.]

[You think that since this is the Mortal Realm, something like a Sword Spirit shouldn't exist!]

[So, the Sword Spirit would be expelled from the sword, and once expelled, it's just a soul entity. How can that be considered a mortal?]

[If you don't retract the Mortal Realm, you can already foresee Guo Qing's fate.]

[At this moment, the Sword Spirit Guo Qing seems to understand his situation as well.]

[Instead of panicking, he bursts into laughter: "I never thought I'd see the owner of the forbidden path 'Extinguish Law' with my own eyes."]

[Upon hearing Guo Qing's words, you instantly understand that this must be the name cultivators use for the Mortal Realm talent!]

[Indeed, the term "Extinguish Law" is quite fitting for the Mortal Realm.]

[After laughing for a while, Guo Qing's expression turns cold, and he speaks again: "But do you think this means you've won against me?"]

[As soon as he finishes speaking, you see Guo Qing forming various hand seals continuously!]

[As he continues to form seals, flames begin to rise from his ethereal spirit body.]

[He is using the technique of burning his soul.]

[Although you haven't learned similar techniques, you can sense danger from Guo Qing.]

[But why can he still use techniques within the Mortal Realm?]

[In an instant, you think of two possibilities.]

[One is that Guo Qing was originally at the Great Principal Golden Immortal level. Although he is now weakened and can be restricted by the Mortal Realm, if he goes all out, he might still have a way to break free.]

[The second possibility is that the Mortal Realm has a flaw, and that flaw is that it doesn't restrict soul techniques?]

[You now pray that it's the first possibility.]

[Otherwise, the effectiveness of the Mortal Realm will be greatly diminished.]

[After all, you haven't learned any soul techniques yourself.]

[If the talent's flaw is that it doesn't restrict soul techniques.]

[Then in future battles, when you use the Mortal Realm, you'll have to see if your opponent has learned soul techniques. If they have, you're done for.]

[It will only make you die faster.]

[As you are lost in thought, Guo Qing has already finished forming the seals. He looks at you and says, either we perish together, or you let Little Xue go!]

[Hearing this, you are speechless: "Come on, buddy, can't you ask me if I'll let her go before using the soul-burning technique as a threat?"]

[Despite your complaints, you feel a bit relieved after hearing Guo Qing's words.]

[After all, you had already thought of a set of arguments, but you were afraid Guo Qing would act before you could speak.]

[Now that there's room for negotiation, it plays right into your hands.]

[You are pleased in your heart, but your face remains expressionless.]

[You speak disdainfully to Guo Qing: "A bunch of cowards who cling to life, threatening a cultivator of the Nine Mystic Realm like me. Why don't you go fight the villains of the Immortal Realm!"]

[Just now, you recalled all the information chains.]

[You believe Guo Qing should be a righteous person with the Nine Mystic Realm in his heart.]

[His master Bai Moyu took Bai Ruoxue and others to hide, but he stayed in the Southern Regions.]

[Plus, various pieces of information before have proven that Guo Qing is someone who opposes the Immortal Realm.]

[And, you just saw the words on the Heavenly Profound Sword.]

[Previously, you didn't understand their meaning.]

[But thinking back now, you have a bold idea.]

[That is, Guo Qing chose to become the Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sword himself.]

[As for the reason, you speculate that Guo Qing might know some hidden truths, such as the Nine Mystic Realm being weaker in terms of weapons and treasures compared to the Immortal Realm, so he willingly transformed into a sword.]

[Of course, this is just a guess. It could also be that Guo Qing was severely injured and then transformed into a Sword Spirit to continue fighting the Immortal Realm.]

[But no matter what, this is your breakthrough point.]

[That's right, you not only want to protect yourself, but you also have your eyes on the Heavenly Profound Sword.]

[After hearing your words, Guo Qing's eyes burn with even more anger. He never expected that after fighting the Immortal Realm to the death, even becoming a Sword Spirit to continue killing enemies after death, someone would call him a coward.]

[But you pretend not to see it and continue: "What? Are you angry out of shame?"]

[You point at Bai Ruoxue and say to Guo Qing: "She and her sect are hiding in the south of the Southern Regions, enjoying peace and abandoning the Nine Mystic Realm and countless compatriots. I found it displeasing, so I beat her up. So what?"]

["I didn't kill anyone, which is already merciful!"]

[After speaking about Bai Ruoxue, you look at Guo Qing again: "And you, as a Sword Spirit with great power, hiding in this godforsaken place, not daring to join the battle, and you have the face to talk about perishing together with me?"]

["If that's the case, then come on!"]

["I, Jiang Yifeng, fear nothing!"]

[Your continuous words are righteous and awe-inspiring!]

[For a moment, Guo Qing is stunned.]

[He reflects, thinking he might have been wrong.]

[He understands the situation of his junior sister Bai Ruoxue, who was indeed forcibly taken to hide by their master Bai Moyu.]

[Although it wasn't his junior sister's intention, outsiders wouldn't know that.]

[So, if his junior sister got beaten because of this, it seems they can only blame their master Bai Moyu, not you for being angry.]

[And what about himself?]

[After becoming a Sword Spirit, he has been thinking about choosing a qualified master.]

[He believes only a master who is extremely excellent in all aspects can wield him and fight against the Immortal Realm.]

[But thinking about it now, it seems he was wrong, putting the cart before the horse!]

[If he had chosen a master earlier, maybe they wouldn't have reached the Immortal Realm, but they could have killed countless enemies and reduced some pressure on the Nine Mystic Realm!]

[Guo Qing is bluffed by your words and keeps reflecting on himself.]

[After a long time, the flames on Guo Qing's soul gradually extinguish. He looks at you with some shame and sighs softly: "Sorry!"]

[Afterwards, Guo Qing hesitates for a long time and tells you he wants the Heavenly Profound Sword to recognize you as its master.]

[After all, you are the owner of "Extinguish Law," such people are rare; even though he is a disciple of the great Bai Moyu, he has only heard of such people, never seen one.]

[Moreover, he had already noticed your cultivation and age; someone of your age with such cultivation proves that your talent is exceptionally good, and he thinks you are barely qualified to be his master.]

[Plus, your words just now also enlightened him. The Nine Mystic Realm has been weak for a long time, and waiting without recognizing a master is not a solution!]

[In short, Guo Qing has been completely fooled by you.]

[Of course, maybe it's because he has been a Sword Spirit for too many years without interacting with people, making him a bit naive now!]

Chapter 130: A leisurely game of chess

[You felt a surge of joy when Guo Qing brought up the matter himself.]

[Originally, you just wanted to present yourself as someone who detests evil and stands for justice in front of Guo Qing, and then slowly make your move on the Heavenly Profound Sword.]

[You didn't expect Guo Qing to be so easily swayed.]

[When Guo Qing proposed the idea of the divine sword recognizing its master, you naturally didn't refuse.]

[Soon, you completed the process of bonding with the Heavenly Profound Sword.]

[That's right, the bond was with the Heavenly Profound Sword, not with Guo Qing.]

[Because the Sword Spirit is, in essence, a part of the divine sword.]

[Due to Guo Qing's unique nature, he had more freedom and could control the Heavenly Profound Sword itself.]

[After the bonding was completed, Guo Qing disappeared.]

[No, to be precise, he fell into a deep sleep.]

[According to Guo Qing before he fell asleep, he is now just a wisp of a Sword Spirit, and his strength grows with the wielder's power.]

[He mentioned that his former cultivation was like a castle in the air, even if borrowed, it could only be sustained temporarily.]

[This time, after being awakened by Bai Ruoxue and burning part of his soul in the recent fight with you, he was already quite weak.]

[In the future, if he wants to awaken, it will depend on you.]

[As long as your cultivation continues to improve, he, as your life-bound Sword Spirit, will continuously recover, and there will be a time when you meet again.]

[You had many questions for Guo Qing, but before you could ask, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.]

[This left you somewhat disappointed.]

[When you confirmed that Sword Spirit Guo Qing had completely fallen asleep, you suddenly realized that his desire to bond with you might have been a way to save himself.]

[However, you didn't dwell on it and simply smiled.]

[No matter what, the Heavenly Profound Sword was now yours, which also enhanced your strength.]

[You had just tested it out.]

[Even with Sword Spirit Guo Qing asleep, the sword's power was still extraordinary.]

[Even though you hadn't learned any sword techniques, just swinging the sword wildly produced power comparable to your full-force Silent Destruction Fist.]

[This was the first time you experienced the importance of a powerful weapon.]

[With the Heavenly Profound Sword in hand, you searched the Heavenly Profound Temple but found nothing else of interest.]

[Then, you glanced at the still-sleeping Bai Ruoxue.]

[After a moment of thought, you sat down nearby and quietly waited.]

[Half a day later, Bai Ruoxue woke up.]

[Upon waking, she stared at you warily.]

[She couldn't understand why you were still unharmed.]

[Why was the Heavenly Profound Sword missing?]

[At this moment, Bai Ruoxue felt a bit panicked, even wondering if she might die here.]

[You were unaware of Bai Ruoxue's confusion.]

[But even if you knew, you wouldn't tell her that the Heavenly Profound Sword was now being nurtured in your Qi Sea.]

[At this moment, you just looked at Bai Ruoxue with a faint smile.]

[You had already noticed that Bai Ruoxue hadn't lost her memory.]

[You thought that perhaps her previous head pain and rolling on the ground were either a coincidence or that the white light from Guo Qing's appearance had some special effect, preventing her from losing her memory.]

[But these things were no longer important to you.]

[Whether she had lost her memory or not, you didn't plan to extract any information from her.]

[After all, you knew that Bai Ruoxue's memory was problematic, and asking her might not yield truthful answers and could even mislead you.]

[The reason you waited for her to wake up was for one thing.]

[That was to obtain the jade token from her that could open the Sumeru Space and summon the Heavenly Profound Temple, along with the specific method of using it.]

[After you made this request, Bai Ruoxue thought you were somewhat out of your mind.]

[The Heavenly Profound Temple had already been summoned, so the jade token and its usage method were useless. What would you do with it?]

[However, she didn't tell you this and obediently handed over the jade token and the usage method.]

[The method was simple; she said you just needed to inject spiritual energy into the jade token.]

[After obtaining what you wanted, you ignored Bai Ruoxue and flew away.]

[You had considered killing Bai Ruoxue after getting what you needed.]

[After all, you now had a grudge against her.]

[But in the end, you abandoned this option.]

[First, you had promised Guo Qing not to harm Bai Ruoxue.]

[Of course, this wasn't the main reason for your decision.]

[The real reason was that you thought if she sought revenge, you might gain something different.]

[In the future, the dynamics of the Southern Regions might become interesting.]

[After all, Bai Ruoxue was not your match now.]

[If she wanted revenge, she would have to return to the Eastern Regions to unlock her memory and strength.]

[At that time, if she came to the Southern Regions with her true strength, wouldn't she attract the attention of the powerful beings in the Immortal Realm?]

[You were sure she would be noticed.]

[Although your Eye of Insight couldn't see through Bai Ruoxue's strength, you believed her unsealed power wouldn't be low.]

[Of course, you knew that the reason you couldn't see through her true strength might be because Bai Moyu had sealed her cultivation.]

[Your talent wasn't a match for a powerful being.]

[But in any case, Bai Ruoxue's senior brother Guo Qing was at the Great Principal Golden Immortal level, and her father Bai Moyu was a powerful being. How could she be weak?]

[Such a strong person entering the Southern Regions wouldn't go unnoticed by the powerful beings in the Immortal Realm, right?]

[And once Bai Ruoxue was targeted by other powerful beings, would Bai Moyu ignore his daughter?]

[At that time, would Bai Moyu be drawn into the chaos of the Southern Regions?]

[You smiled, looking forward to Bai Ruoxue's revenge.]

[After all, you knew this was just a simulation.]

[As long as you could gather more information and uncover more possibilities, you could make the real world safer; even if you failed in the simulation, you wouldn't lose anything.]

[Moreover, you didn't plan to stay in the Southern Regions for long this time.]

[By then, if Bai Ruoxue really came for revenge, it would only drag Bai Moyu into the chaos, while you might have already left the Southern Regions.]

[Of course, this was just your thought. You didn't really care about Bai Ruoxue's choice.]

[If she didn't come for revenge, it didn't matter to you; you wouldn't force it!]

[After all, she was just a pawn you casually placed.]

[After that, you left the Evergreen Mountain Range and headed straight to Spine Mountain.]

[Your appearance made Old Li and the others very wary.]

[But you subdued him with two moves, and after a good talk, they understood your intention.]

[You told them you wanted to take them out of the Southern Regions.]

[Initially, Old Li didn't believe you.]

[But he couldn't resist when you secretly destroyed the protective formation left by Senior Lu Wuya.]

[You triggered the formation prematurely!]

[The people of Spine Mountain had no choice but to agree to venture out of the Southern Regions with you.]

Chapter 131: Deceiving Cultivators of Spine Mountain, an Adventurous Plan

A few days later, you led thousands of cultivators from Spine Mountain back to Green Hills City.

Along the way, you encountered numerous Immortal Slaves, but under your personal intervention, none were left alive.

Upon returning to Green Hills City, you stayed for two days.

Afterward, you took your father, Jiang Fushan, and Little Peach, intending to leave the Southern Regions together.

Not only that, but you also brought along a large number of mortals from the Jiang Family.

Jiang Fushan was puzzled, but he never opposed anything you said.

Two days later, everyone in the Jiang Family had packed their belongings and set off with you.

Of course, you couldn't let these mortals travel on their own; it would be too slow.

So, the strong cultivators from Spine Mountain had to bear the burden.

Each of them protected some mortals, and you all flew eastward.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

You arrived outside the Valley of Flames.

In truth, if you were traveling alone, it wouldn't have taken this long.

But this time, you had a large group, most of whom were mortals.

Even if they were being carried, traveling too fast would make them nauseous.

At this moment, everyone looked at you.

Even the cultivators from Spine Mountain were no exception.

They couldn't withstand the fierce Phoenix flames and wanted to see how you would lead everyone out of the Southern Regions.

Especially with so many mortals.

You understood their thoughts clearly.

However, since you dared to come, you naturally had a plan.

You didn't act immediately but instead scanned everyone with your eyes.

Watching your actions, the others were puzzled.

But no one noticed that you had skipped over your father, Jiang Fushan, and Little Peach.

After looking at everyone, you turned your gaze to the Valley of Flames.

Then, you silently chanted, "Activate Mortal Domain!"

Instantly, the cultivators from Spine Mountain panicked.

They felt their cultivation disappear.

Only your father, Jiang Fushan, and your personal maid, Little Peach, were exceptions.

In fact, you had just scanned everyone to pull them into the Mortal Domain.

You had already tested it before; the Mortal Domain wasn't limited by range.

It locked onto people based on who you saw.

You weren't sure if there was a limit to the number of people, because your previous test was only at a branch of the Immortal Arrival Sect on the way to Spine Mountain.

That branch had about seven to eight thousand cultivators.

This was why you dared to control so many Spine Mountain cultivators at once.

Of course, you didn't intend to harm them; you just wanted to give them a warning.

As for the reason? Naturally, you wanted to use them!

The Mortal Domain's function wasn't just to pull people into the domain.

Anyone who attacked you would also instantly become a mortal once you activated it.

This was something you had tested with Little Peach and your father, Jiang Fushan, during your two-day stay in Green Hills City.

The cultivators from Spine Mountain weren't fools; they quickly realized something was wrong.

They saw that, besides the mortals present, only your father, Jiang Fushan, and Little Peach still had their cultivation.

How did they figure it out?

Simple, because the two of them were displaying their spiritual energy.

This was why you deliberately avoided pulling them into the Mortal Domain.

You knew your father was absolutely trustworthy, and you believed you could trust Little Peach about eighty percent.

But that wasn't important; your father, Jiang Fushan, now had a higher cultivation.

For a moment, everyone looked at you.

They knew it had to be your doing.

After all, when they still had their cultivation, they saw that your father, Jiang Fushan, was only at Perfect Foundation Establishment, and Little Peach was even weaker, just at the Foundation Establishment stage.

They couldn't have accomplished such an astonishing feat.

Facing the gazes of everyone from Spine Mountain, you chuckled and pointed to the Valley of Flames, saying, "Look!"

At this moment, they noticed that the Phoenix flames in the Valley of Flames were gradually extinguishing.

In less than a minute, the Valley of Flames was left with only scorched earth, devoid of any flames.

In the center of the valley, a colorful Phoenix was hopping around, seemingly trying to fly.

Unfortunately, it had lost all its cultivation and was now no better than an ordinary bird, unable to fly.

Seeing this, the cultivators from Spine Mountain had mixed feelings.

They thought you had used some spell to borrow everyone's cultivation to extinguish the Valley of Flames.

This way, they could indeed leave the Southern Regions.

But they didn't want to become mortals.

If they were willing to be mortals, they could have stayed in the Southern Regions and still survived!

Soon, they would realize how naive their thoughts were.

At this moment, you smiled at the cultivators from Spine Mountain.

Then you had Little Peach take out a large basin of black pills from her storage ring.

You told the cultivators from Spine Mountain that as long as they took these pills, their cultivation would be restored!

Upon hearing this, most of them were overjoyed, but a few frowned, feeling you had ulterior motives.

You didn't keep them guessing and directly told them that taking the pills would restore their cultivation, but you would also control their life and death.

Whether to take them or not was up to them.

For a moment, the cultivators from Spine Mountain looked at you with eyes full of resentment.

You ignored them.

Soon after, many hot-blooded individuals chose not to restore their cultivation and refused to take the pills, intending to leave on their own.

You waved your hand, and Little Peach killed them on the spot.

After a long while, the ground outside the Valley of Flames was covered in blood.

However, most of the cultivators from Spine Mountain still took the pills you had prepared.

Once everything was over, you lifted the Mortal Domain from these people.

Instantly, they regained their strength.

But those who had taken the pills dared not resent you.

After all, they believed their lives were now in your hands.

But the truth?

What you gave them were just some black mud pills.

Although you had the talent of a Pill Dao Saint Hand, you hadn't had time to practice alchemy, let alone create pills that could control life and death.

What you did was merely to make them believe they had taken poison pills, making it easier to command them in the future.

Why didn't you force them to take the fake pills while they still had their cultivation?

Simple, fake pills are easy to expose.

But now, using the power of the Mortal Domain and then the pills, they couldn't discern the pill's ingredients without their cultivation.

Even if they regained their cultivation and couldn't sense any poison, they would just think your pills were too advanced for them to detect.

After all, you knew how shocking it was to make someone's cultivation disappear in an instant.

Why did you do this?

Let's just say your plan this time was risky and grand; it required a lot of manpower!

What if you got exposed?

You didn't care; after all, the people from Spine Mountain weren't your match.

It would just make your plan a bit more troublesome, but it was something you could handle.

After all, the mortals from the Jiang Family were your backup plan.

Chapter 132: Self-study Alchemy

[After subduing the cultivators of Spine Mountain, you did not retract the Mortal Domain.]

[Instead, you had them take action and slay the Phoenix that could only hop in place.]

[The Demonic Phoenix's flesh and blood were all stored in your storage ring.]

[After everything was done, you were taken by someone and flew towards the depths of the Valley of Flames.]

[That's right, you still did not retract the Mortal Domain, as you couldn't fly by yourself.]

[As for the reason? For safety!]

[After all, you weren't sure if there were other dangers in the Valley of Flames.]

[Although in a previous simulation, you had once left the Southern Regions from here, you were not actually familiar with the Valley of Flames.]

[That time, due to the Calamity Physique, everything changed, and it couldn't be taken as a standard.]

[So, for safety, you decided to keep the Mortal Domain active.]

[This way, even if there were dangers, anyone who attacked you would become a mortal.]

[As long as you kept the Mortal Domain active, unless a Great Principal Golden Immortal made a move, you would remain undefeated.]

[Now, with the raging flames gone and the Demonic Phoenix no longer blocking your way,]

[It took only a few days for you to find a crack in the formation.]

[Without hesitation, everyone passed through the crack and left the Southern Regions.]

[Soon, you all arrived outside the Southern Regions.]

[But among these people, your father, Jiang Fushan, was missing.]

[You had some guesses about this and were not too surprised.]

[It only made you more curious about the secrets your father was hiding.]

[But now, you knew it wasn't the time to dwell on these matters.]

[However, due to the disappearance of your father, Jiang Fushan, the mortals from the Jiang Family you brought along were somewhat panicked, as if they had lost their backbone.]

[But, under your kind lies, you quickly calmed everyone down.]

[At this moment, Old Li and a few people from Spine Mountain suddenly attacked you.]

[However, as soon as they made their move, their cultivation instantly turned into that of mortals.]

[Seeing this, you merely smiled slightly and said to Little Peach, "Kill them!"]

[Soon, Old Li and the others were killed on the spot.]

[You could guess the reason for their attack.]

[After all, you had been in a mortal state from the beginning.]

[They had also taken the pills you gave them, thinking their lives were in your hands.]

[So killing you was definitely the best choice.]

[Others might not dare, but who was Old Li?]

[He had guarded the local cultivators in the Southern Regions for so many years, surely he had some guts.]

[He could endure before because he hadn't left the Southern Regions.]

[He couldn't be sure if killing you would make the Valley of Flames return to its original state.]

[But now, having confirmed that they had left the Southern Regions, with no other threats,]

[In their eyes, you, the one controlling their lives and deaths, naturally became the first target to kill.]

[But, as the saying goes, "The Dao is one foot tall, the devil is ten feet tall."]

[They didn't expect your Mortal Domain to have passive abilities.]

[They also didn't know that you kept the Mortal Domain active partly to fish for lawbreakers.]

[After all, you needed people who were absolutely obedient.]

[After Old Li and the others died, you thought for a moment and deactivated the Mortal Domain, regaining your cultivation.]

[Although the Mortal Domain could make you safer, it also limited your development.]

[After all, you still needed to cultivate and improve.]

[After that, you found a base in the Great Wilderness and settled down.]

[By this time, it had been four years since you entered the simulation!]

[In that year, you ordered everyone to focus on cultivation and forbade them from going out.]

[The mortals from the Jiang Family were also taught some basic combat techniques by Little Peach.]

[In the fifth year, you recalled your knowledge from your previous life and attempted to make guns.]

[But you failed, not because you couldn't make them, but because some rules seemed to be blocking you.]

[However, there was good news; you successfully made crude explosives.]

[But the space and soil here seemed more solid, making the explosives' power too weak.]

[The explosive packs you made could only injure enemies if they hit them directly and exploded on their bodies; otherwise, the blast's impact was too weak to harm them.]

[Still, it was a potential path.]

[You ordered Little Peach to lead the mortals in mass-producing explosive packs using the formula you devised.]

[In the sixth year, you found a pile of alchemy books and pill recipes from the cultivators of Spine Mountain.]

[That's right, you decided to start learning Pill Dao.]

[After all, you felt that relying on the pills to scare the cultivators of Spine Mountain wasn't a long-term solution.]

[You needed to develop real pills to control people.]

[With a large number of Pill Dao manuals in hand, you fell into deep thought.]

[You wondered if you should call your outside self to come in for deep simulation.]

[In the end, you shook your head.]

[You felt that although deep simulation was good, it consumed a lot of origin values.]

[Currently, you didn't have many origin values left, and unless it was urgent, it wasn't necessary!]

In reality, Jiang Yifeng nodded in satisfaction after reading this.

Indeed, he didn't want to do deep simulation right now.

Firstly, deep simulation was too mentally exhausting.

Secondly, the simulator was about to upgrade, so he needed to save more origin values.

Even if it meant wasting some simulation attempts.

After all, only half a year had passed in reality.

He wasn't in a hurry; even the appearance of the Immortal Dao inheritance was still over a decade away.

He had plenty of simulation opportunities.

[In the seventh year, after a year of self-study, you miraculously reached the level of a second-grade alchemist.]

[This made you realize the power of the Pill Dao Saint Hand.]

[In the eighth year, while refining pills, you triggered your talent for random enlightenment, increasing your cultivation speed tenfold and making your thoughts more active.]

[This enlightenment lasted only half a month.]

[But it elevated you from a second-grade alchemist to a third-grade alchemist.]

[At this point, you could already refine poison pills to control Foundation Establishment cultivators.]

[But that wasn't enough, so you continued to cultivate Pill Dao.]

[By the tenth year, you had become a fifth-grade alchemist.]

[That year, you came out of seclusion with a large number of pills.]

[You made all the cultivators below the Spirit Transformation Realm in Spine Mountain take these pills.]

[That's right, these were real poison pills, and after taking them, these cultivators' lives were truly in your hands.]

[This was the highest level of poison pills you could refine at the moment.]

[In fact, you could have continued your seclusion.]

[But over the years, the cultivators of Spine Mountain hadn't had a single poison outbreak, and many had noticed something was wrong.]

[Some even secretly fled.]

[So, you had to come out of seclusion early.]

[First, you needed to truly control these low-level cultivators.]

[As for the high-level ones?]

[If they ran, they ran!]

[After all, you needed numbers.]

[And these low-level cultivators were clearly the majority!]

Chapter 133: Little Peach has broken through to the Core Formation stage

[Year Eleven, you sent those who had truly ingested the poisoned pills to scout for information, to see if there were any cultivation sects nearby.]

[As for yourself, you once again entered seclusion.]

[Year Twelve, Little Peach broke through to the Core Formation stage and came to report to you.]

[At first, you didn't pay much attention, only praising her a bit.]

[But when Little Peach mentioned she had achieved a Ten-Grade Golden Core, your heart finally stirred.]

[You hadn't expected her cultivation talent to be so strong.]

[Among the people you knew, only your father, Jiang Fushan, who was full of secrets, cultivated faster than her!]

[However, you quickly thought of a problem. Little Peach had always been cultivating at your base.]

[If she had achieved the Core Formation stage with a Ten-Grade Golden Core, why hadn't there been any celestial phenomena?]

[You clearly remembered that in previous simulations, whether it was you or your father Jiang Fushan, breaking through with a Ten-Grade Golden Core caused quite a commotion.]

[Could it be that those phenomena only appear in the Southern Regions?]

[You were somewhat puzzled!]

[You asked Little Peach if she had felt anything unusual during her breakthrough.]

[After some thought, Little Peach told you that she had originally intended to break through to the Core Formation stage with a Nine-Grade Golden Core!]

[However, during her breakthrough, she seemed to have had a dream.]

[In her dream, the heavens changed color, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared!]

[When she woke up from the dream, she had already achieved a Ten-Grade Golden Core and successfully formed her core.]

[After listening to Little Peach's description, you muttered to yourself, "Phenomena in a dream?"]

[At that moment, it seemed you had thought of something!]

[The corners of your mouth lifted slightly, and you said faintly, "Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting!"]

[Could this really be a coincidence?]

[Your muttering left Little Peach somewhat confused, but you didn't explain it to her!]

[Afterward, you gave her some pills for cultivation and waved her away.]

[After she left, you pondered for a moment but didn't think further.]

[You felt that whether it was a coincidence or not, it was clearly not something that could be investigated in this simulation.]

[So, you continued to lower your head and cultivate.]

[However, the trace of cunning in your lowered gaze hinted at some unknown intention!]

In reality, Jiang Yifeng was eagerly awaiting when he saw the word "interesting."

He hoped that his absolutely rational self could come up with some reasoning.

But this was it?

You stopped thinking?

You went back to cultivating?

Jiang Yifeng slapped the table and cursed.

"Dammit, I hate riddlers the most!"

After taking a few deep breaths, he gradually calmed down.

He began to ponder what his absolutely rational self in the simulation had thought of!

Jiang Yifeng couldn't believe it.

Everyone has the same brain, who is better than whom?

Could he really not figure it out?

Jiang Yifeng rubbed his chin and began to recall the text displayed in the simulation.

He felt that the key phrase was: "Could this really be a coincidence?"

The meaning was clear; his simulated self didn't think it was a coincidence.

But what was it referring to?

Jiang Yifeng furrowed his brows and kept thinking.

As time passed, his brows gradually relaxed.

He thought of some possibilities.

His father, Jiang Fushan, was a prodigy, achieving a Ten-Grade Golden Core in just a few years during a previous simulation.

His maid, Little Peach, was also a peerless genius, achieving a Ten-Grade Golden Core in over a decade.

Such level of genius should be rare, perhaps once in a million years!

Why did two appear at once, and both were close to him?

This was too coincidental.

Was this the coincidence his simulated self was referring to?

Jiang Yifeng wasn't sure.

However, upon recalling the past, Jiang Yifeng indeed thought of a second possible coincidence.

That was, Little Peach achieving a Ten-Grade Golden Core proved she had the potential to become an immortal.

And her speed shouldn't be slow.

Moreover, during her core formation, there were no celestial phenomena, only phenomena in her dream.

Could she be the Lady in Red who crossed the tribulation to become an immortal in a previous simulation?

Jiang Yifeng thought this because he hadn't seen any celestial phenomena in the Southern Regions during that time.

Previously, he thought it was some old monster crossing the tribulation to become an immortal.

So, not seeing the Lady in Red's core formation phenomena was normal.

But now that he thought about it, it didn't make sense!

Because if there had been core formation phenomena, how did the Lady in Red escape the pursuit of the Immortal Arrival Sect?

Moreover, based on multiple previous simulations, once phenomena appeared, not only would the Immortal Arrival Sect pursue, but Old Li from Spine Mountain and others would also come to the rescue.

So, the Lady in Red should have become a member of Spine Mountain.

But, if the Lady in Red who crossed the tribulation to become an immortal was Little Peach?

She had phenomena in her dream, then everything made sense.

In an instant, Jiang Yifeng felt he understood everything.

He couldn't help but stare at the simulator, revealing a faint smile.

Muttering a few words to himself.

"Heh, riddler?"

"Think I can't figure it out?"

"Who do you think you're underestimating?"

After saying this, Jiang Yifeng felt refreshed!

So he continued to look at the simulator.

[Year Thirteen, some of the cultivators from Spine Mountain you sent out returned.]

[They brought back news that many companions had died outside, and some had betrayed and joined a sect called "Qingyang Sect."]

[Upon hearing this, you looked at these people with a half-smile.]

[You knew in your heart that these people must have considered joining that sect as well.]

[But clearly, they were rejected.]

[That sect didn't think much of them!]

[As for those who betrayed, you had already known before they returned.]

[After all, you sensed that the poisoned pills you planted had been neutralized.]

[You didn't have a good solution for this, as your alchemy skills weren't high.]

[However, it didn't matter, as you mainly needed these cultivators to help explore the map.]

[You didn't believe that all the people you controlled could find high-level alchemists to neutralize the poisoned pills.]

[For instance, those who were rejected still brought back the information you needed.]

[After inquiring, you learned that this sect was said to be a third-rate sect, with the strongest being the sect master at the Eighth Layer of Tribulation.]

[You nodded upon hearing this, having an idea in mind.]

[Since this sect's strongest person in the eyes of outsiders was at the Eighth Layer of Tribulation.]

[Then their true foundation must be more than that!]

[But it didn't matter, as their strongest on the surface was only at the Eighth Layer of Tribulation.]

[Even if their foundation was strong, you didn't think it would reach the Great Principal Golden Immortal level.]

[A month later, you led the cultivators from Spine Mountain and the mortals who followed from the Jiang Family Mansion, heading towards the Qingyang Sect.]

[Besides holding crossbows, each of those mortals carried several backpacks, the contents of which were unknown.]

Chapter 134: Is this still Absolute Rationality? What a brute!

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed, and you had led your group to a spot not far from the Qingyang Sect.

You didn't rush into action.

Instead, you began setting up formations to conceal and protect everyone you brought along.

After everything was in place, you headed towards the Qingyang Sect alone to launch an attack.

Soon, the Qingyang Sect organized their forces and began to retaliate against you.

They didn't use their full strength, so if you went all out, you could handle them on your own.

But you chose to fight and retreat!

Before long, you were chased by the Qingyang Sect members to the location where you had set up the formation earlier.

Seeing that the time was right, you scanned the pursuing Qingyang Sect members and activated the Mortal Domain.

Then, you shouted, "Attack!"

Led by Little Peach, your group burst out from the formation and began capturing the Qingyang Sect members!

That's right, your goal wasn't to kill but to capture!

Otherwise, there would be no need for such a big commotion.

After a long while, you killed the Qingyang Sect alchemists and those above the Nascent Soul stage who couldn't be controlled by poison pills.

The remaining people were all fed poison pills by you!

But that wasn't the end!

After all, not all the Qingyang Sect members had come out to chase you.

So, you repeated the same trick.

After three rounds, the number of people you controlled with poison pills increased significantly.

The combined number of Qingyang Sect members and those from Spine Mountain exceeded tens of thousands.

At this point, the Qingyang Sect seemed to realize something was wrong.

No matter how you provoked them, they ignored you and didn't chase after you anymore.

In the end, you led your group in a direct assault!

In reality, Jiang Yifeng looked at the situation and felt something was off.

What was going on?

Was this something Absolute Rationality would do?

A reckless brute?

Instead of cultivating quietly, you go and attack another sect?

Jiang Yifeng was baffled.

He could only hold his patience and continue reading!

The battle began!

Even though you activated the Mortal Domain, your side still suffered significant casualties.

After all, once you activated the Mortal Domain, your field of vision would shorten.

It was hard to pull unseen enemies into the Mortal Domain.

Although the passive ability of this talent could turn enemies into mortals,

If they didn't attack you and only targeted the low-level cultivators or mortals you brought, there was nothing you could do.

This was also why you didn't choose a direct assault initially.

Because you were worried that high-level cultivators on the other side might evade your first wave of detection and couldn't be pulled into the Mortal Domain.

Sure enough, what you feared happened.

However, fortunately, you were at the forefront, and most of those who evaded your detection chose to attack you.

They instantly turned into mortals.

Only one old fox attacked the others you brought along.

It was this person who killed thousands of your people in one strike.

But it was just one strike; after he attacked, you pulled him into the Mortal Domain as well.

As for the cultivation levels of the last few Qingyang Sect members who appeared?

You just used the Eye of Insight to check, and they were only at the peak of the ninth level of Tribulation Crossing!

Even without the Mortal Domain, you felt you could take them on in a one-on-one fight.

You were puzzled. Could this really be the Qingyang Sect's full strength?

Wasn't it a bit low?

You had to know, this wasn't the Southern Regions.

In the Great Wilderness, although it wasn't the main battlefield against the Immortal Realm,

There were still battle zones.

In such a place, you always thought the foundation of a sect wouldn't be too low.

At least it should be something like the Immortal Realm.

But the reality was just like this!

After these few people appeared, there were no more surprises.

Soon, most of the Qingyang Sect members were captured by your people.

The few who resisted stubbornly were killed on the spot.

In the end, you looked at the high-ranking members of the Qingyang Sect who had surrendered; you didn't kill them immediately.

Instead, you chose to interrogate them.

After the interrogation, you finally understood why the Qingyang Sect's foundation was only at the peak of Tribulation Crossing.

Because everyone above the Immortal Realm had been conscripted to the battlefield against the Immortal Realm.

According to them, it wasn't just the Qingyang Sect; all other sects were the same.

As for where the battlefield was?

These people didn't know.

They only said that every hundred years, someone from the Great Wilderness Battlefield would come to inspect and take away everyone above the Immortal Realm!

Hearing this, you nodded slightly, thinking it made sense.

You recalled the situation you saw with the Eye of the Heavens; at that time, you were too far away to determine the exact location of the Great Wilderness battlefield.

However, you could confirm that in the Great Wilderness, there were indeed very few places where battles occurred.

You thought that place should be the battlefield they mentioned.

After obtaining this information, you felt it would be difficult to contact people from the Immortal Realm.

That's right, you had planned to contact people from the Immortal Realm before.

This was also why you chose to come to the Great Wilderness.

After all, the battles here were the fewest, so the important forces should be the least.

In this way, the cultivation levels of the Immortal Realm people participating in the battles here would definitely be lower than in other places.

With your Mortal Domain talent, the chances of self-preservation would be greater.

You thought you could try to contact people from the Immortal Realm.

And attacking these local sects could serve as your token of allegiance!

If you could take the opportunity to join the Immortal Realm's camp, it would be safer, and you might even get more unknown information.

However, it seemed infeasible now.

The battlefield was in an isolated location, and you couldn't contact people from the Immortal Realm at all!

And the tokens of allegiance you prepared wouldn't be known by the people from the Immortal Realm.

However, you didn't mind!

After all, attacking the Qingyang Sect and controlling some people had other purposes besides serving as tokens of allegiance.

After obtaining the information, you didn't spare the high-ranking members.

All the Qingyang Sect members, except those who could be controlled by poison pills, were killed by you!

The entire Qingyang Sect could only be described as a river of blood!

After finishing everything, you set up a ninth-grade trapping formation.

You trapped all the Qingyang Sect captives and the cultivators from Spine Mountain in the formation.

You instructed Little Peach to make sure these people didn't starve!

After all, these people were controlled by poison pills, and you didn't trust them.

As for why you did this, it was because you had opened the Qingyang Sect's treasury, and the treasures inside were enough for you to cultivate for a while.

The upcoming period was your development phase.

You didn't need these people for the time being.

As for the mortals? You could say that homemade explosives were useful but limited in effect, often causing friendly fire in large-scale battles.

And without using homemade explosives, mortals had too little combat experience.

Even if they encountered cultivators who were also turned into mortals, they could hardly resist and had already suffered heavy losses in previous battles.

The few remaining ones were handed over to Little Peach to manage.

You asked Little Peach to try teaching these people cultivation.

After all, these people were the most loyal to you.

Chapter 135: Breakthrough to immortality?

[Year 14, you begin a secluded cultivation within the Qingyang Sect.]

[This time, you no longer focus on Pill Dao.]

[Instead, you fully commit to enhancing your Immortal Dao cultivation level.]

[Year 16, your Immortal Dao cultivation reaches the Second Layer of Tribulation.]

[It only took you two years to advance a minor realm.]

[This is a sensation you haven't experienced in a long time.]

[You must know, this isn't even the period when your Late Bloomer talent is triggered.]

[The fact that you can cultivate so quickly is naturally thanks to the Qingyang Sect.]

[Although Qingyang Sect is just a third-rate sect, its treasure trove has plenty of resources for you.]

[With the entire treasure trove at your disposal, it's hard not to advance quickly!]

[Of course, you must also thank your Taotie Divine Body!]

[Without it, you wouldn't be able to digest the resources so swiftly.]

[Year 18, your Immortal Dao cultivation reaches the Third Layer of Tribulation!]

[Year 20, the Fourth Layer of Tribulation.]

[Year 23, the Fifth Layer of Tribulation.]

[Year 26, the Sixth Layer of Tribulation.]

[Year 29, your Immortal Dao cultivation breaks through to the Seventh Layer of Tribulation.]

[At this point, the resources in Qingyang Sect's treasure trove that can quickly enhance your cultivation are nearly depleted.]

[Only the most basic Spirit Stones remain!]

[Year 30, you choose to exit seclusion.]

[Upon exiting, you discover that Little Peach's cultivation has already reached the first level of Body Integration Realm.]

[This is the seventh realm before becoming an immortal, and you can't count how many simulations it took you to reach Body Integration Realm.]

[Yet Little Peach has achieved it in such a short time.]

[With no cultivation resources and such rapid progress, it's truly enviable!]

[Of course, you merely sigh in admiration.]

[After all, you know clearly that this is just within the simulation.]

[No matter how fast she progresses, in reality, she can't possibly catch up to your realm!]

[And in the simulation, the stronger Little Peach becomes, the more she helps you.]

[Year 31, you once again lead the captives on an expedition.]

[Although the captives are somewhat unwilling, their lives are in your hands, so they have no choice but to obey.]

[This time, your target is a sect called Xingyue Sect.]

[How did you learn about this sect?]

[Because you found a map of the Great Wilderness's power distribution in Qingyang Sect's library.]

[This is also why you previously confined all the captives, preventing them from scouting.]

[Using the same method you used to deal with Qingyang Sect, you easily take down Xingyue Sect.]

[In fact, you don't need the captives; with your current strength, you could rob Xingyue Sect on your own.]

[But you think it's safer to use the Mortal Domain to bring the enemies down to the mortal realm, then have the captives you control suppress them with their cultivation.]

[This is why you've been controlling these people.]

[After taking down Xingyue Sect, you immediately open its treasure trove.]

[Confirming the abundance of cultivation resources, you once again confine all the captives.]

[You then enter seclusion for cultivation.]

[But this time, before going into seclusion, you take out some resources for Little Peach.]

[You instruct her to cultivate with all her might but to come to you before breaking through to immortality.]

[Little Peach doesn't understand why you give such instructions but nods in agreement.]

[After all, in her eyes, everything she has is given by you, the Young Master.]

[Whatever you say goes!]

[Year 32, you focus on cultivation!]

[Year 34, your Immortal Dao cultivation breaks through to the Eighth Layer of Tribulation.]

[Year 39, you reach the Ninth Layer of Tribulation.]

[Year 43, your Immortal Dao cultivation reaches the peak of Tribulation Crossing.]

[But you can't break through to the Immortal Realm because your Martial Dao is still stuck at the Eighth Layer of Semi-Saint.]

[You then start focusing entirely on Martial Dao cultivation.]

[You haven't used the Martial Dao treasures you had before.]

[With the Taotie Divine Body, you believe it won't take long for your Martial Dao to catch up.]

[In the blink of an eye, several years pass.]

[Year 60, your Martial Dao finally reaches the peak of Semi-Saint, just one step away from breaking through to War Saint!]

[Both your Immortal Dao and Martial Dao are on the verge of breaking through.]

[At this point, you only need to summon the tribulation for becoming an immortal to cross it and become an immortal.]

[But you seem to have some concerns and haven't chosen to break through yet.]

[Instead, you start cultivating the War God Body and Sword of Killing Intent from the War God Art.]

[You continuously strengthen your combat power!]

[Year 70, Little Peach comes to find you.]

[She tells you she has reached the peak of Tribulation Crossing and is ready to cross the tribulation to become an immortal.]

[This is what you instructed her before, to inform you before crossing the tribulation, and Little Peach has always remembered.]

[You are overjoyed upon hearing this.]

[You've been waiting for this day for a long time.]

[You tell Little Peach to go ahead and cross the tribulation to become an immortal.]

[Little Peach doesn't ask why and agrees immediately.]

[In the blink of an eye, a day passes, and Little Peach successfully crosses the tribulation, reaching the Mortal Immortal realm.]

[After she successfully crosses the tribulation, she doesn't encounter any danger.]

[This puts your mind at ease.]

[You think perhaps you were overthinking it.]

[Becoming an immortal outside the Southern Regions should be safe.]

[That's right, the reason you haven't crossed the tribulation to become an immortal is that you're worried about danger.]

[Although you know there are immortals outside the Southern Regions.]

[But who knows if those powerful beings in the Immortal Realm are targeting the Southern Regions or the people of the Southern Regions.]

[If they are preventing people from the Southern Regions from becoming immortals.]

[Then you think, even if you leave the Southern Regions, it would still be dangerous.]

[After all, you don't know the capabilities of those powerful beings.]

[Can they lock onto every person from the Southern Regions?]

[This is why you haven't crossed the tribulation to become an immortal.]

[Also, knowing Little Peach's talent, you gave her a lot of resources to let her cultivate with all her might.]

[You were waiting for Little Peach to cross the tribulation to the Immortal Realm.]

[You treated Little Peach as your pathfinder.]

[Now that she has crossed the tribulation without incident, you think you can also choose to cross the tribulation.]

[So, you start releasing your cultivation to summon the tribulation.]

[As you continuously release your cultivation.]

[The Primordial Energy of your Martial Dao and the spiritual energy of your Immortal Dao within you seem to know you are about to break through the bottleneck.]

[They start intertwining with each other.]

[You see the Primordial Energy of your Martial Dao and the spiritual energy of your Immortal Dao bizarrely begin to merge.]

[You confirm that you are not mistaken; they are merging, not transforming.]

[They gradually merge into a new kind of energy.]

[Gradually, strands of golden chaos energy are born within you.]

[And at this moment, you suddenly feel a chill down your spine.]

[As if something terrifying is looming.]

Chapter 136: Great Wilderness Battlefield comes people

As time slowly passed, the tribulation clouds in the sky gathered more densely, ready to descend at any moment.

But the unease in your heart grew more intense.

You felt that if you continued, you would truly die!

What to do? Should you stop?

Or should you take a gamble?

Your thoughts churned endlessly.

Finally, you whispered, "Mortal Domain!"

In an instant, you transformed into a mortal.

The tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to lose their target and gradually dispersed.

The spiritual energy and primordial energy within you separated once more, each running its own course.

It was as if nothing had happened.

When everything settled, the feeling of unease in your heart gradually subsided.

Indeed, the feeling just now was caused by a breakthrough.

Was it due to the Divine Dao? Or some other reason?

You quickly abandoned this line of thought.

You felt it didn't matter because, whatever it was, you would have to face it sooner or later.

You had just given up on the breakthrough, not out of fear, but because you felt it wasn't the right time to gamble.

After all, this simulation was still short; you could still make many attempts and improvements.

Sensing danger now, you thought it unwise to gamble recklessly.

After making your decision, you quickly took action.

In the seventy-first year, you resumed your study of the Pill Dao.

Why choose to improve in the Pill Dao?

Because alchemy required a large number of herbs, and you had just looted the treasuries of two sects.

Although most were used to enhance your strength, there were still plenty of ordinary herbs left.

This was called making the best use of everything.

Moreover, after self-studying the Pill Dao, you clearly understood its benefits in cultivation.

Whether using poison pills to control people or using pills to enhance strength, the role of pills was undeniable.

In the seventy-third year, you focused entirely on alchemy, and your rank as an alchemist rose to sixth-grade.

In the seventy-sixth year, your rank rose to seventh-grade.

In the seventy-ninth year, you became an eighth-grade alchemist.

In just a few years, you advanced three grades, a remarkable speed.

But in that year, you discovered a serious problem: you were running out of primary alchemy materials.

To advance to a ninth-grade alchemist, you needed higher-grade herbs.

The high-grade herbs in the treasuries of Qingyun Sect and Xingyue Sect had been consumed to enhance your cultivation.

Now, there were no materials left for you to practice alchemy.

So, that year, you repeated your old trick and looted another sect.

In the eightieth year, you went into seclusion again to practice alchemy.

That year, you also turned 100, triggering your Late Bloomer talent, doubling your cultivation efficiency.

In the eighty-second year, your alchemy reached ninth-grade.

But you still had enough materials, so you didn't stop and continued practicing.

In the eighty-fifth year, your alchemy reached the peak of ninth-grade.

You could now produce semi-finished Immortal Pills.

One more step, and you would be an immortal-grade alchemist.

But this last step was a difficult hurdle.

In the ninetieth year, you turned 110, triggering your Late Bloomer talent to double your cultivation speed again.

But your alchemy was still stuck at the peak of ninth-grade.

You didn't give up; you persisted because you knew you had the Heaven Rewards Diligence talent.

As long as you persevered, this wouldn't be an insurmountable barrier.

In the hundredth year, you turned 120, triggering your Late Bloomer talent to triple your cultivation speed.

In the 108th year, you looked at the alchemy furnace before you, feeling a sense of anticipation.

An Immortal Pill was about to be born!

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a day had gone by.

In your alchemy room, the furnace buzzed, and a pill took shape.

At the moment the pill formed, a seven-colored auspicious cloud appeared in the sky, as if celebrating the birth of the Immortal Pill.

But before the auspicious cloud could descend, a blood cloud fell from the sky, heading straight for the alchemy room.

You watched all this without flinching.

You focused solely on controlling the furnace fire, waiting for the Immortal Pill to emerge.

A few minutes later, the furnace exploded, and a blood-red pill flew out.

The blood-red Immortal Pill did not attract any pill lightning.

However, the pill had a spirit and was restless, trying to escape.

But you were prepared, quickly grabbing it with your sharp eyes and fast hands, without any mishap.

Looking at the blood-red Immortal Pill, you couldn't help but smile.

You felt the timing was just right.

If it had been any later, you might have missed your next plan.

After refining the blood-red Immortal Pill,

You killed all the previous captives and destroyed their bodies.

Then, you left with Little Peach.

From then on, except for Little Peach, no one would know that you were the one who killed those sect members.

Of course, you also knew that if a great cultivator skilled in divination were involved, they might deduce it.

But this was unavoidable.

Moreover, you thought these were third-rate sects, unlikely to have anyone who could afford to hire such a great cultivator for divination.

After all, divining the past and future must come at a high cost.

In the 109th year, you and Little Peach left the previous sects far behind and secluded yourselves in a small mountain.

In the 110th year, an old man suddenly appeared at your secluded place, holding an array disk.

Using the Eye of Insight, you probed and obtained information about the old man.

Xiao Siyuan: Supreme Unity Golden Immortal, logistics coordinator of the Great Wilderness Battlefield in the Nine Mystic Realm.

Seeing this information, you knew that the person you had been waiting for had finally arrived.

How did you know he would find you?

It wasn't hard to guess. Since those captives had said that all Immortal Realm individuals were taken to the battlefield,

You didn't believe that every Immortal Realm person had the awareness to fight for the Nine Mystic Realm.

That everyone would be waiting for the battlefield personnel.

So, you were sure that the battlefield personnel had means to find Immortal Realm individuals.

And you thought that not only did they have means to find them, but at critical moments, they would directly take action to capture uncooperative Immortal Realm individuals for the battlefield.

While you were lost in thought, Xiao Siyuan didn't look at you but at Little Peach.

He told Little Peach that whether she was from a sect or a rogue cultivator, since she had reached the Immortal Realm, she should go with him to the Great Wilderness Battlefield!

Obviously, he didn't know Little Peach's background.

Nor did he care to ask; he only needed to take those above the Immortal Realm to the Great Wilderness Battlefield.

Little Peach didn't agree immediately but looked at you.

Although her cultivation had surpassed yours, Little Peach still habitually regarded you as her leader.

Chapter 137: Peak of Tribulation Crossing: Battle of Mortal Immortal

[It wasn't until this moment that Xiao Siyuan seemed to notice your presence and turned to look at you!]

[You didn't mind his previous disregard.]

[Instead, you told Xiao Siyuan that you also wanted to go to the Great Wilderness Battlefield.]

[He looked at you for a moment, and after sensing that your cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of Tribulation Crossing, he didn't directly refuse.]

[Instead, he looked at Little Peach again and asked her if she wanted to bring you along.]

[Once again, you experienced the feeling of being ignored.]

[You wanted to go to the Great Wilderness Battlefield, and naturally, Little Peach wanted to take you along.]

[Upon hearing this, Xiao Siyuan said nothing more.]

[He just reminded you that once you were on the battlefield, even if you were at the peak of Tribulation Crossing, you couldn't hide in the back. If you died, he wouldn't be responsible.]

[These words made Little Peach a bit worried and she wanted you to stay behind.]

[However, under your insistence, she could only comply, silently vowing to protect you.]

[After some preparations, you and Little Peach were smoothly taken away by Xiao Siyuan.]

[But you didn't go directly to the Great Wilderness Battlefield.]

[In the following days, Xiao Siyuan visited many places again.]

[Every time he arrived at a place, your team would gain one or two more companions.]

[These were all people who had broken through to the Mortal Immortal realm in the past hundred years.]

[However, after using the Eye of Insight, you knew that each of these people was quite old, with the youngest being at least two thousand years old.]

[And this person was always supported by the others, said to be the strongest Chosen in the Great Wilderness in nearly ten thousand years.]

[This gave you a rough estimate of what it meant to be a Chosen.]

[If you compared yourself to this person, you were already a genius among geniuses.]

[As for people like your father or Little Peach, they could no longer be considered Chosen; they could only be described as monstrous talents.]

[Three months passed in the blink of an eye.]

[Your team had grown to over thirty people.]

[Xiao Siyuan glanced at the Immortal Seeking Formation Disk in his hand, shook his head, and sighed, "Ah, fewer and fewer each time!"]

[After that, Xiao Siyuan put away the Immortal Seeking Formation Disk and stopped searching in the Great Wilderness, leading you all on the return journey.]

[A few days later, after multiple teleportations, you arrived outside an ancient, dilapidated palace.]

[The palace was covered in bloodstains, clearly having been through the baptism of war.]

[The others began to discuss the palace fervently.]

[Meanwhile, you silently took out a map and made another mark.]

[Yes, during this period, you had recorded the location of each teleportation.]

[These teleportation arrays were very hidden, and if you didn't know about them in advance, they would be really hard to find.]

[Xiao Siyuan noticed everything you did but didn't stop you.]

[He thought you were planning to escape from the battlefield.]

[He believed you were daydreaming; once on the battlefield, it was either victory or death, with no other possibility!]

[Of course, people like him who handled logistics didn't count.]

[After a brief stay, you teleported again from this palace.]

[This teleportation seemed to take longer than the previous ones.]

[After a long while, when you reappeared, you could already smell the pungent scent of blood.]

[Looking around, you saw a blood-stained land, even the blazing sun in the sky had a red hue.]

[Not far away, you could see rows of military camps.]

[As you were still observing your surroundings, you suddenly heard the sound of a loud horn.]

[Immediately, soldiers flew out from the camps.]

[They quickly formed ranks and sped off into the distance.]

[After using the Eye of Insight, you discovered that these soldiers were all at the Mortal Immortal realm.]

[There were even quite a few at higher realms among them.]

[Seeing this, you felt a bit emotional.]

[The Mortal Immortal realm, which would be considered an ancestor-level existence anywhere else, was just a regular soldier on this battlefield.]

[So this is what a war between realms is like?]

[At this moment, you finally understood why Xiao Siyuan had said that once you came to the Great Wilderness Battlefield, your life and death would be your own responsibility.]

[In his eyes, what could someone at the peak of Tribulation Crossing do here other than get themselves killed?]

[Time passed.]

[You had already been on the Great Wilderness Battlefield for half a month.]

[During this period, you hadn't been on any missions.]

[Yes, missions!]

[During this time, you had learned the rules of the Great Wilderness Battlefield.]

[When the army's horn sounded, whichever camp it sounded from, that camp had to go to battle!]

[Other than that, there were no other strict rules on the Great Wilderness Battlefield.]

[After all, everyone here was a cultivator, not a mortal army.]

[When not forced to go to battle, everyone did their own thing.]

[Some people would take on small tasks, like attacking a certain stronghold of the Immortal Realm.]

[After all, the camp had military merits.]

[The more military merits you had, the more opportunities you had to exchange for rare resources to improve yourself and live longer.]

[Some people, who were more cautious, would hide and cultivate when not forced to go to battle. Even without resources, they would still cultivate!]

[Although this method was slow, it was safer!]

[Overall, everyone's goal here was the same: to survive.]

[As for you?]

[After understanding the rules here.]

[You tried taking on small tasks.]

[After all, small tasks were safer and could give you a taste of the battlefield.]

[Unfortunately, as someone at the peak of Tribulation Crossing, no other team was willing to take you.]

[Yes, small tasks couldn't be completed by a single person.]

[In the end, with no other choice, you and Little Peach took on a five-person task.]

[It wasn't allowed initially, but Little Peach had recently broken through to the Earth Immortal realm.]

[This allowed you to successfully take on the task.]

[After getting the task map, the two of you set off.]

[Three days later, you arrived at the destination, and you directly activated the Mortal Domain, allowing Little Peach to kill four Mortal Immortal realm enemies.]

[You didn't kill the last Mortal Immortal.]

[Instead, you had Little Peach stand by and supervise.]

[Then, you deactivated the Mortal Domain.]

[You wanted to challenge a Mortal Immortal at the peak of Tribulation Crossing.]

[Yes, this was one of your purposes for coming to the battlefield.]

[To improve your combat skills.]

[You didn't know what crisis you would face when you crossed the tribulation to become an immortal.]

[But this crisis would definitely be far above the Mortal Immortal realm.]

[Although it was just a premonition, as a cultivator, you naturally knew it wasn't just a wild guess but a sense of impending danger!]

[So, you had great ambitions; you wanted to fight immortals as a mortal, to slay Mortal Immortals, and even higher realms.]

[Otherwise, you wouldn't dare to easily attempt the tribulation to become an immortal.]

[Of course, you were also very cautious and not arrogant, so you only left one enemy to practice with and had Little Peach on guard.]

[The Mortal Immortal realm opponent from the Immortal Realm, seeing his cultivation restored, immediately tried to escape.]

[But Little Peach slapped him back.]

[And warned him that if he tried to run again, he would die.]

[But if he could defeat you, he could live!]

[Hearing this, the Mortal Immortal realm enemy seemed to see a glimmer of hope.]

["Fight!" he shouted, charging at you.]

Chapter 138: Immortal Clan's 'Restraint Weapon'

[In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.]

[Your battle with that Mortal Immortal was still ongoing.]

[Initially, he saw that you were only at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage and thought he could easily defeat you and seize the chance to live from Little Peach.]

[Unfortunately for him, you were not as easy to deal with as he had imagined.]

[Although you hadn't learned many spells and your combat techniques were relatively few,]

[Your calm demeanor always allowed you to make the best choices at critical moments.]

[You utilized the Law of Wind to keep moving, then used the Law of Thunder, the True Meaning of the Killing Dao, and the Silent Destruction Fist to counterattack in the gaps.]

[Even when he used wide-range attacks that you couldn't completely dodge, you always managed to avoid fatal spots and relied on your robust Martial Dao physical body to withstand the blows.]

[This made the Mortal Immortal from the Immortal Clan extremely frustrated.]

[He felt like you were a monster!]

[After all, the Mortal Immortal realm represents a qualitative leap over the typical Tribulation Crossing stage.]

[This is mainly reflected in three aspects.]

[First, spiritual energy transforms into immortal energy, making attacks more powerful!]

[Second, the body undergoes the baptism of the tribulation for becoming an immortal, compensating for the physical weaknesses of cultivators.]

[Third, the comprehension of laws.]

[Upon reaching the Mortal Immortal realm, one inevitably comprehends a law; afterward, the sensitivity to the laws of heaven and earth becomes stronger and easier to enhance!]

[But you, even without reaching the Mortal Immortal realm, possessed some of these qualities.]

[Attack power? The True Meaning of the Killing Dao, the Law of Thunder, the Silent Destruction Fist, and the Heavenly Profound Sword you haven't even used yet—all these enhance your attack power.]

[Physical strength? You cultivate both the Divine Dao and Martial Dao; for ordinary cultivators of the same realm, hitting you is like scratching an itch.]

[Comprehension of laws? With the Taotie Divine Body, you had long comprehended the Law of Thunder and the Law of Wind; the True Meaning of the Killing Dao also counts as a law.]

[Your comprehension of laws even surpassed that of some weaker Mortal Immortals.]

[So, although it seemed like you were fighting a stronger opponent, your overall strength was not inferior to his, and might even be a bit stronger.]

[Of course, you weren't fully aware of this.]

[Even though Little Peach had reached the Earth Immortal realm, she couldn't fully explain it.]

[After all, both of you were self-taught cultivators without a master to guide you.]

[Everything had to be figured out on your own.]

[In this battle, besides wanting to improve your combat experience, you also aimed to understand the techniques of the Mortal Immortal realm.]

[You wanted to accurately gauge your own combat strength and the strength of the Mortal Immortal realm.]

[Now, you had the answers you sought.]

[Thus, you no longer held back and softly called out, "Heavenly Profound," as the Heavenly Profound Sword appeared in your hand.]

[This divine sword had never tasted blood since you acquired it, and you were eager to see its power.]

[The moment the Heavenly Profound Sword appeared, you clearly sensed a surge of killing intent from the blade.]

[This killing intent wasn't directed at anyone else, only at the Mortal Immortal from the Immortal Clan.]

[At that moment, you suddenly understood something.]

[You realized that this was likely influenced by the Sword Spirit Guo Qing's hatred for the Immortal Clan.]

[After all, Guo Qing had been in constant battle with the people of the Immortal Realm during his lifetime.]

[It wasn't surprising that he harbored killing intent toward the Immortal Realm!]

[What you didn't expect was that even though Guo Qing, as the Sword Spirit, was in a deep slumber, the Heavenly Profound Sword's killing intent toward the Immortal Realm was still so pronounced.]

[Under the shroud of the Heavenly Profound Sword's killing intent, the Mortal Immortal from the Immortal Realm showed a drastic change in expression.]

[He didn't recognize the sword, but he sensed a strong feeling of impending death from it.]

[He believed that continuing to fight you would undoubtedly lead to his death.]

[He glanced at you and, disregarding Little Peach's earlier threats, turned and fled.]

[Clearly, he felt that the threat from the Heavenly Profound Sword was greater than that from Little Peach, who was at the Earth Immortal realm.]

[Seeing this, you chuckled softly, stroked the Heavenly Profound Sword, and then performed a somewhat unfamiliar killing intent sword technique.]

[The True Meaning of the Killing Dao within you merged into the sword technique and converged onto the Heavenly Profound Sword.]

[Instantly, the originally snow-white Heavenly Profound Sword turned blood-red, and a blood-like Sword Qi surged forth.]

[It chased after the fleeing Mortal Immortal from the Immortal Realm.]

["Boom!" The Sword Qi pierced through his body!]

[The Mortal Immortal from the Immortal Realm turned into a pool of blood, leaving no bones behind.]

[Seeing this, you stroked the Heavenly Profound Sword, thoughts swirling in your mind.]

[You felt that you could be bolder when facing people from the Immortal Realm in the future.]

[Previously, you knew that the Heavenly Profound Sword could enhance your combat strength, but you didn't expect that using it against the Immortal Clan would not just provide a small buff, but a massive damage boost!]

[This reminded you of a term from a game in your previous life: "counter weapon."]

[The Heavenly Profound Sword was practically a counter weapon against the Immortal Clan!]

[After the battle, you and Little Peach cleaned up the battlefield and headed toward the military camp in the direction of the Nine Mystic Realm.]

[This small mission had earned you both some military merits.]

[You gave all the merits to Little Peach, letting her exchange them for cultivation resources to rapidly advance her realm.]

[Not only that, but you also gave her all the remaining resources you had.]

[Little Peach initially refused, but under your insistence, she eventually accepted.]

[Afterward, she cultivated even more diligently.]

[She felt that, no matter what, she couldn't let you down.]

[She also thought that if she became stronger, she could better protect you.]

[In the days that followed, Little Peach went into seclusion for cultivation.]

[You also continued to train in combat techniques and comprehend laws.]

[In the 120th year, you stood alone in a training ground at a military camp.]

[You felt a bit helpless.]

[Ten years had passed, and the progress of the War God Body and the Killing Intent Sword Technique was extremely slow, barely reaching the entry level.]

[As for the comprehension of laws? Without external resources, you couldn't use the Taotie Divine Body.]

[Relying solely on your own comprehension was like a drop in the ocean, with minimal progress, almost imperceptible.]

[And this was with the cultivation buffs from your Late Bloomer talent and the Heaven Rewards Diligence talent; without these two talents, you might not have made any progress at all in these ten years.]

[At this moment, you suddenly realized something!]

[You felt that perhaps leaving the Southern Regions was a mistake.]

[If you had stayed in the Southern Regions, at least for the Killing Intent, the Law of Thunder, and even the Law of Fire, there seemed to be good resource points for you to cultivate.]

[Just as you thought of this, you suddenly frowned.]

[Was this another coincidence?]

[No, impossible! You didn't believe in so many coincidences.]

Chapter 139: Already a person in the game

"You think the resource points in the Southern Regions must have been prepared long ago for certain people!"

"But who exactly is this person?"

"You keep recalling the various characters that appeared in the Southern Regions during multiple simulations."

"Finally, you are surprised to discover that this person is most likely yourself!"

"After all, in multiple simulations, you never found anyone else in the Southern Regions using these resources."

"The only one is you."

"But you can't quite understand, if these resource points were prepared for you?"

"Then wouldn't the one who set up these resource points know about the existence of the simulator?"

"Otherwise, with your ordinary and unremarkable nature in reality, only indulging in food, drink, and play, it would be impossible for you to use these resources?"

"You have only used those resources multiple times in the simulations."

"No, wait, maybe this powerful being is being controlled by the simulator."

"Or perhaps there's someone behind this powerful being?"

"That person, the one controlling the simulator, can also control the actions of the powerful being?"

"You can't help but have a lot of wild thoughts."

"As for a powerful being controlling the simulator?"

"You haven't considered that."

"After all, no matter how you look at it, you don't think the simulator's level is something those powerful beings can control."

"After a long time, you suddenly laugh at yourself: 'So I was already a pawn in the game, but I realized it too late!'"

"Previously, you suspected that the simulator might be using you."

"But you didn't expect that not only the simulator; some powerful beings might have known about your existence long ago."

"The situation in the Southern Regions had already included you in the calculations."

"But now, you're wondering, when Bai Moyu said those powerful beings were plotting to seize the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, could it also be related to you?"

"Could it also be related to the simulator?"

"Moreover, besides these, during the time you spent on the Great Wilderness Battlefield."

"You had some other thoughts."

"That is, if the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm only wanted to plunder the fragments of the Heavenly Dao from the Nine Mystic Realm, then why does the Great Wilderness Battlefield exist?"

"In these places, those powerful beings could completely take action and directly kill all the people of the Nine Mystic Realm!"

"If there were any special conditions, they could also transform these places like the Southern Regions, reducing the number of cultivators from the Nine Mystic Realm!"

"Wouldn't that be more cost-effective?"

"And it wouldn't cause too much loss to the Immortal Clan of the Immortal Realm."

"You find this very unreasonable."

"Now, you even suspect, was Bai Moyu's self-talk in the simulator really unknowing?"

"Or did he already know about the simulator's existence?"

"Was he deliberately passing on false information to you?"

"You feel that things are getting more and more complicated!"

"At the same time, you deeply feel a sense of crisis."

"If your thoughts are correct."

"Then the things you predicted using the simulator's hints are likely inaccurate."

"After all, if Bai Moyu or other powerful beings, or even those above the powerful beings, know about the simulator's existence, then they must be watching you."

"They might even know that you are using the simulator to improve."

"If this person is an ally, that's fine, there's room for maneuver!"

"But if it's an enemy, then the crisis could come at any time."

"In your heart, you feel that if there is such a person, the probability of them being an ally is greater."

"After all, if it were an enemy, they probably wouldn't give you so much time to develop."

"Of course, you don't rule out the possibility that it's an enemy with ulterior motives."

"But no matter what, you feel that you must quickly improve your strength."

"Because, whether it's an ally or an enemy, only strength can keep you alive."

"An ally would think that a strong pawn is more useful and would protect you."

"And if it's an enemy, only if you are strong can you have a chance to resist!"

"Thinking of this, you look up at the sky and sigh: 'I can't hide anymore, I can only fight!'"

"Then you continue to mutter: 'Do you see? I've been in the game all along!'"

"'If you want to survive, then work hard!!'"

In reality, Jiang Yifeng saw this and understood in his heart.

This should be directed at him.

Jiang Yifeng is not stupid; he just habitually doesn't think about the dark side of things.

Now, after seeing the words of Absolute Rationality in the simulation.

He also understood his situation.

He frowned, thinking to himself: "Can I really not hide anymore?"

That's right, Jiang Yifeng didn't think about whether he was a pawn!

When he first learned that the simulator might have potential dangers, he had already figured it out.

Whether he was a pawn or not, as long as he could stay alive, it was enough.

So, what he cares about now is not whether he has become a pawn.

But whether he can still hide.

After all, Jiang Yifeng really has no ambitions.

He just wants to live a peaceful life.

If he can't hide, wouldn't that be very dangerous?

After a long time, Jiang Yifeng's eyes lit up!

He muttered to himself: "Nonsense, who says I can't hide?"

He felt that he was almost led astray by the Absolute Rationality in the simulator.

Although he couldn't hide in the simulation, in reality, he could still hide.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng's mood instantly improved.

Of course, Jiang Yifeng thought that his Absolute Rationality should also be referring to not being able to hide in the simulation!

If he couldn't even think of this.

Then it would be a disgrace to this Absolute Rationality talent.

So, Jiang Yifeng continued to look at the simulator.

"In the days that followed, you didn't follow the usual routine of cultivation."

"Instead, you walked alone out of the military camp."

"That's right, there is no strict rule against leaving the military camp on the Great Wilderness Battlefield."

"It's just that most people don't do this."

"Because, outside the military camp, it is a danger zone."

"The strong of the Immortal Realm would also hunt down the people of the Nine Mystic Realm!"

"But you did it anyway."

"Your purpose is to hope they come to hunt you."

"You don't care about battle merits; you care about combat power."

"You want to train your Killing Intent Sword Art and War God Body through battles."

"After all, the War God Art is a technique born for battle."

"Previously, you didn't want to take too many risks, so you followed the usual routine of cultivation."

"Because you knew that if you used the Mortal Domain or had Little Peach's protection, you wouldn't be able to improve these two battle techniques through combat."

"Because these two battle techniques require battles where you are on the brink of death to improve."

"But now that you have determined that following the usual routine is difficult to improve, you decide: then let there be battle!"
