“The Universe Shift is truly extraordinary!” Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but exclaim.
This martial art skill, as expected, is a top-notch method for exerting and channeling Inner Qi. At the moment, Pei Xuanjing could feel the various applications of it after channelling True Qi.
For instance: unleashing maximum potential, duplicating the martial arts abilities of the opponent, accumulating inner strength, channeling and redirecting the strength of the enemy, and employing the strength against it, among other secrets.
For a moment, Pei Xuanjing saw it as a priceless treasure and was constantly exploring its various uses. The martial arts he had learned and understood were quite miscellaneous, and he had only briefly touched upon many of them and had not yet mastered any. After all, most martial arts require unique application techniques.
However, the Universe Shift has now made up for these shortcomings, enabling him to easily use many martial arts skills.
After a few days, Pei Xuanjing conducted another simulation.
“The Great Tao has fifty, the Forty-Nine Heavenly Paths are derived from it, and one is hidden!
Hence, all things in the world have a thread of vitality!”
At the age of twenty-five: You killed four first-grade martial artists at the old site of Shenxiao Sect and then arrived at Taihe Mountain. A mysterious man claiming to be a descendant of the Shenxiao Sect approached you with the intention of joining forces with you to re-establish the Shenxiao Sect, but you firmly refused.
At the age of twenty-seven: You…
At the age of twenty-eight: You explored the Forbidden Place but found nothing. You rejected the idea of re-establishing the mountain gate with the other’s support and travelled the world with Pang Hong.
At the age of thirty: You killed people from the Netherworld and had the three pages of the Netherworld Book.
At the age of thirty-one: .
At the age of thirty-three: The emperor died, and a new emperor ascended the throne.
At the age of thirty-five: News of your seclusion was finally leaked. This time the Netherworld sent five first-grade experts to kill you. They didn’t expect to be killed by you.
At that time, you had the Netherworld Book, and the news about the way to immortality spread across the world. Numerous experts attacked, and for a time you became the target of public criticism.
You were surrounded by a pack of tigers, everyone wanted to obtain the method of immortality, and you were in the most dangerous situation.
Moving three thousand miles per battle, you once blocked a million troops with a single sword.
During the three years, you traveled across the world, your footsteps almost covered the entire territory of the Great Ming. Your sword killed countless people, many famous experts in the pugilistic world died under your sword, casting an unparalleled reputation.
At this opportunity, you truly comprehended the secrets of the Netherworld Book, advanced to the realm of a first-grade martial artist.
Even on this opportunity, you actually managed to cultivate the Huangquan Knife Skill successfully, turning it into the peerless martial study of the Huangquan Sword Skill.
You established the Shenxiao Sect again at the old site of the Shenxiao Sect’s mountain gate. Even the Great Ming imperial court was in awe of your reputation and turned a blind eye to this.
At the age of forty: The leader of the Mire Sect, Zhao Baiyang, invited The Heroes of the world to a battle. He wanted to, after three years, gather The Heroes at the peak of the Tianshan Mountains to understand Martial Arts in its ultimate form.
You gladly accepted.
At the age of forty-three: You, several experts from the imperial family, Mire Sect’s leader Zhao Baiyang, Zen Sect’s leader Daoist Qingxu, the contemporary master of Dragon Tiger Mountain,
Master of Baiyun Temple, several God monks from the North and South Zen Sect, leader of the
Demonic Cult, the world’s top swordsman, Pavilion Master of Heavenly King’s Pavilion Zi, Fengdu Ghost Emperor – the Overlord of the Underworld, Tie Qianshan of the Tie Sect, the Head of the Golden Vajra Gate, the hidden expert from the Esoteric Sect of the Western Regions, the national teacher of the Grassland Nation, etc.
To put it simply, the famous experts from all around the world gathered at the peak of Tianshan Mountain.
Among you, your group’s alliances were chaotic, some were enemies and some were friends. You all gathered there and initiated an unprecedented battle.
The battle involving numerous people unintentionally broke the seal of the peak of Tianshan Mountain. The heavens and earth changed colors and the world elevated. At this, the entire world began to rejuvenate.
The heavenly might was unpredictable, and you a group of people who stood at the peak of martial arts — were the ones who felt it most clearly.
The battle ended, and all the experts who were lucky enough to survive retreated and began to cultivate in seclusion. Everyone wanted to be the first to break through.
At the age of forty-four: The rejuvenation of heaven and earth made cultivation more straightforward. Numerous talented individuals emerged, and more and more people broke through to the Upper Three Realms.
At the age of fifty: Although you have not broken through yet, during this period you have not only deduced the ninth level of the body cultivation method but also successfully elevated your physical body to the first-grade realm.
At the age of fifty-three: Ten years passed, and the strengths of those who participated in the battle of Tianshan Mountain have improved to varying degrees, but still, no one has been able to break through successfully.
Because this is a strange road. You are trailblazers faced with thorny paths, needing to slowly explore and move forward.
At the age of fifty-five, a demonic cult master had a breakthrough by accident. Despite failing to fully break through, his strength had already far excelled that of a first-grade Martial Artist because what he possessed was an entirely different kind of power.
At the age of fifty-six, knowing that he had no future, this demonic cult master harbored resentment. He intended to kill all those who might break through, wishing to prevent anyone from surpassing him.
This man hiddenly assassinated several masters one after another, causing people to live in fear, dreading that they might be the next victim.
At the age of fifty-seven, you closed yourself off from the outside world, trying to break through to a realm above the grade one.ln the end, you failed to break through and thus disintegrated.
[End of this life]
“The rejuvenation of heaven and earth, and the world’s promotion indeed align with my previous guesses.”
A smile emerged at the corner of Pei Xuanjing’s mouth as he finished this life simulation.
He had previously speculated that this world, since it had legends of Fairy Gods and a path for Martial Arts cultivation, surely held a possibility of Longevity.
Now, this life simulation had indeed confirmed his speculations.
“But has this world’s inheritance truly been severed? Ten years after the spiritual energy revived, no one managed to breakthrough, and the only one who tried ended up failing.” Pei Xuanjing frowned slightly.
He initially thought that these forces, which have been inherited for thousands of years, must have some grounding and perhaps once the heaven and earth rejuvenated, these forces might quickly transform into immortal sects and cultivation clans.
However, he had not anticipated that these powerful forces would not have any methods to move up to a higher level of cultivation.
“Hehe, this is undoubtedly bad news for these large forces. But for a loner like me, it’s good news.” He thought to himself.
That’s right, these larger forces don’t have methods to reach a higher level of cultivation.
If everyone is striving to move forward from the same starting point, it’S relatively fair. Even if they have extraordinary foundations, at least they won’t be able to dominantly suppress loner cultivators like Pei Xuanjing, relegating him to obscurity.
“It seems that when the time comes, the whole of Great Ming’s influence might undergo a reshuffle!”
Staying in the midst of such large-scale changes, the likes of which had not been seen for thousands of years, was undoubtedly the perfect time for the interchanging and reshuffling of old and new forces.
At that time, no one could predict how many emerging forces would rise up, and how many ancient forces would fall.
“Perhaps, I can take this opportunity to rise up and become a chess player.” Pei Xuanjing had such thoughts.
[Simulation ended, you can choose to retain one of the following rewards.] [The first option, the Martial Arts realm at the age of fifty-seven.]
[The second option, the Huangquan Sword Skill at the extreme realm.] [The third option, comprehension of a breakthrough above the first-grade realm.]
“The rewards this time are extraordinary,” sighed Pei Xuanjing.
He did not expect that this life simulation would make both his body and Inner Qi reach the first-grade realm.
According to his understanding based on the usual patterns of previous simulations, he would most likely have to choose only one of these. But he didn’t expect the rewards this time to be so generous. If he chose the first option, that would signify that both his body and Inner Qi had broken through this time.
After Pei Xuanjing chose the first option, abundant cultivation comprehensions immediately filled his mind, and both his Inner Qi and body began to transform.
He swallowed several Heavenly Yuan Great Pills and precious medicinal herbs as though they were worthless, the drug efficacy spread quickly.
After a long time, Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes, joy reflected in them.
After twenty-five years in this world, he had finally reached the pinnacle of Martial Arts towards which he had been steadily working..
