A crazed look flashed through their eyes as they charged towards Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing decisively swung his sword and struck out!
The rain grew heavier, but it failed to wash away the pervasive scent of blood in the air.
At this moment, outside the valley, all of the Yama King’S men had been killed by Pei Xuanjing, their corpses littered everywhere.
Pei Xuanjing shook off the droplets of blood from his sword and sheathed it back into its scabbard.
He then retrieved another page of the Netherworld’s Book from the Yama King’s person, also fashioned of the unique material, neither gold nor jade.
[Obtained Unique Item – Page of the Netherworld’s Book, Refining yields 100,000 points of Taoyun.]
This prompt appeared in his mind, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corners of Pei Xuanjing’s mouth.
With this page of the Netherworld’s Book, even if he gained nothing else in the valley, it would not have been a wasted trip.
Next, he searched through the bodies of these people. Sadly, aside from some silver banknotes, there was little else of value, not even a few useful skills.
As for weapons, except for the blood-red long knife of the Yama King, which was of the thousand-refined grade, the weapons used by the rest were all merely indomitable grade Divine Weapons.
Pei Xuanjing picked up the Yama King’s thousand -refined blood-red long knife and slowly moved into the Ancient times, until his figure was completely enveloped and disappeared in the misty air.
Awaking from an endless darkness, Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes and found himself inside an empty room.
At this moment, upon entering the valley, all information about everything was transferred into his mind.
This valley was where the page of the Netherworld’s Book was located, and it was also the so-called Forbidden Place of heritage mentioned by Li Yuzhen and others.
This place was a illusion created by the page of the Netherworld’s Book, this illusion recorded an unprecedented event in the martial arts world that occurred six hundred years ago.
Ancestor Sanfeng of the Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect suppressed the Imperial Court’s Great Yuan Teacher with a reverse hand gesture on Taihe Mountain, thereby breaking the imperial court’s suppression of the martial arts heroes, and laying the foundation for the subsequent rebel armies.
The present Number One in Central Plains Martial Arts is Ancestor Sanfeng of the True Martial Sect, who left the North Zen Sect over a hundred years ago and started the True Martial Sect on Taihe Mountain.
epoch six hundred years ago, completely imprinting the incident of the Great Yuan State Teacher’s challenge to the mountain.
In order to suppress and conquer the martial arts world, the Great Yuan Empire decided to send the Great Yuan State Teacher to defeat Master Sanfeng, known as the Number One in Central Plains Martial Arts, thereby intimidating The Heroes.
Therefore, when this news was passed on, the factions of the martial arts world all sent people to gather at Taihe Mountain, ready to deal with this matter.
Unfortunately, Master Sanfeng was at a crucial point in his seclusion, requiring these people to delay enough time and hold out until Master Sanfeng emerged.
Only when those present can manage to delay until Master Sanfeng comes out and defeats the Great Yuan Teacher, can they be considered to have passed this illusion test, and all participants will receive rewards according to their respective contributions.
Of course, if someone can defeat the Great Yuan Teacher in advance, it can also be regarded as passing the test.
But if they can’t hold out until Master Sanfeng comes out, and instead wait for the Great Yuan Teacher to defeat everyone, forcibly deduct points, and interrupt Master Sanfeng’s seclusion, then it would be considered a test failure.
If a person possesses the Netherworld’s Book, they can retain their memory. Other participants will have their memories of this time sealed, and will be expelled from the projected illusion world.
What Li Yuzhen and others referred to as the gain of inheritance, is just that some people participate in it. Although they didn’t really pass the test, they made a special contribution or possessed certain treasures. Even though their memories were sealed, they still gained something to various extents.
“The current situation seems to have a hint of an infinite loop. Of course, it also feels a bit like the start of life simulation with the use of a simulator.” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.
At the same time, he also had a slight guess in his heart.
He didn’t know whether the simulator was set in stone or if there would be a chance for him to experience different lives in the future.
After all, for Pei Xuanjing, the current simulator doesn’t offer the same substantial benefits for increasing his power as it did before.
And since the page of the Netherworld’s Book has the effect of imprinting time and projecting illusions, he wondered whether the simulator would have this feature in the future.
Setting this thought aside for now, Pei Xuanjing began to ponder the current situation.
According to the information feedback from the Netherworld’s Book, he currently occupies the identity of a Taoist from the Shenxiao Sect, named Danling Zi, and is now the junior of Danyang Zi, the current head of the Shenxiao Sect.
Since the rise of Great Yuan, the Shenxiao Sect has suffered heavy losses, and is almost on the brink of closing its doors and not venturing out.
However, with the Great Yuan’s aggressive intentions targeting all the martial artists in the Central Plains and the notion of “when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold”, even if the Shenxiao Sect closed its doors, it would not be able to stay unscathed.
Therefore, the head of the Shenxiao Sect, along with his junior, came to Taihe Mountain to lend a hand, expressing the Shenxiao Sect’s stance.
“I wonder if Li Yuzhen and the others also entered this illusion? Or do different batches of people enter different environments?” Pei Xuanjing thought as much.
While he was contemplating, footsteps came from outside the room.
The footsteps of the approaching person were leisurely, their breath long, like treading on snow without a trace, their landing silent.
This was not because the other party could conceal their movements, but because they had attained a highly advanced stage of cultivation. They were light and nimble due to the flow of True Qi within their bodies.
Generally speaking, when people reach the same realm as Pei Xuanjing, even if they specialize in physical strength, they also reach a state of lifting heavy weights as if they were light.
“Junior brother, have you gotten up?” The person’s identity was self-evident from these words, naturally, it was the master of Danling Taoist – Danyang Zi – who is currently the head of the Shenxiao Sect.
Pei Xuanjing gently opened the door, a white-haired old Taoist appeared before his eyes, this was Danyang Zi. Currently over a hundred years old, he had been immersed in the first-grade realm for many years, and his Shenxiao Thunder Palm had reached its zenith.
Pei Xuanjing’s current identity, Danling Zi, was only in his thirties, and there was a huge age gap between him and Danyang Zi.
Originally, when Danyang Zi saw that Pei Xuanjing was exceptionally talented, he did not directly accept him as a disciple, instead, he received him as a disciple on behalf of his master, allowing him to become his own junior brother.
But both of their master’s had already passed away years ago, they are brothers in name, but they are actually master and disciple, and Danling Zits abilities were taught by Danyang Zi.
Therefore, Danling Zi greatly respected him.
“Greetings, Headmaster senior brother.” Now that Pei Xuanjing is Danling Zi, all his words and actions naturally had to reflect Danling Zi’s attitude and actions.
Danyang Zi nodded his head in response and said, “Since you are up, junior brother, join me to the main hall. The fellow Daoists have agreed to convene there today to discuss matters.”
“Yes..”
