"You don't need to rush to answer me. You can think it over before you answer," the old Taoist priest said again.

Han Feng had experienced many life simulations, and the conditions provided by the Old Taoist Priest were definitely the best.

In the eyes of the major sects in Lingzhou, all the sects in Tiannan were just a bunch of ants that could be crushed at any time.

He was merely a slightly larger ant, and once the natural barrier disappeared, he would suffer utter destruction.

The conditions offered by the old Taoist priest were absolutely preferential. Not only did he allow Han Feng to join the Taiqing Sect, but he also continued to teach him the complete Sword Pill Technique.

The opportunity to join the Taiqing Sect is extremely rare.

The Taiqing Sect requires that rogue cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage must abandon their cultivation before they can join the sect.

There will definitely be many people who will abandon their cultivation in order to join the Taiqing Sect.

Not to mention the complete sword-ball technique being taught, and the guidance of the Great Ascension stage Daoist Tianji.

Han Feng wanted to watch a life simulation before making his next choice.

If what the old Taoist priest said is true, then it's not necessarily a bad thing to hand over the sword pellet.

He also wanted to see how much damage handing over the sword pellet would cause him.

[Consuming one hundred top-grade spirit stones, a new cultivation simulation begins.]

[Half a month later, you gave the sword pellet to Feng Li, and your cultivation level dropped from the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the early stage of the Spirit Realm.]

A year later, the Taoist Master Tianji kept his promise and protected Huangfeng Valley and you during this time. When the Duanqing Sect and Tianyao Sect from Lingzhou came to cause you trouble, he blocked them all for you.

You are about to leave Tiannan and join the Taiqing Sect. In order to provide protection for the disciples of Huangfeng Valley, you have decided to make it a branch of the Taiqing Sect.

Two disciples from the Taiqing Sect have arrived to hand over the reins. After completing the handover at Huangfeng Valley, you plan to head to Tiannan.

Two years later, you left Tiannan and entered Lingzhou, successfully becoming a disciple of the Taiqing Sect.

The Celestial Mystery Master kept his word and taught you the complete Sword Pill Technique.

Ten years later, since you have already cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, your breakthrough in cultivation level will be rapid.

You have re-cultivated the innate sword embryo, and this time it is even more outstanding than before.

Fifteen years later, while you were traveling, you met Feng Li.

He tried to kill you because of a past grudge, and the sword pellet he used was the one you gave him. You escaped by self-destructing your innate sword embryo.

You returned to your sect and reported the matter to the Taiqing Sect's Enforcement Hall, but under the protection of Elder Tianji and the Feng family, Feng Li only received a minor punishment.

Sixteen years later, unable to endure Feng Li's persecution, you left the Taiqing Sect to cultivate alone.

Fifty years later, due to the Dao injury caused by losing the sword pellet, and as the injury rapidly worsened, you passed away peacefully in a small sect.

[You can save your options after the simulation is complete]

[Option 1: Retain all learned knowledge, skills, and combat experience.]

[Option 2: Retain cultivation level]

[Option 3: Maintain blood circulation and physical condition.]

Option 4: Keep the items that appear.

"Old Devil Han, are you alright?"

Su Yinyue patted Han Feng on the shoulder.

This slap instantly brought Han Feng back to his senses; he realized he had been under an illusion.

When the old Taoist priest Tianji spoke just now, he used an illusion technique.

Fortunately, Han Feng's spiritual sense was strong enough that he was only simulating life in his mind.

If it were someone else, they might have already handed over the sword pellet.

"I'm fine."

Han Feng quickly activated the Great Evolution Divine Technique and instantly regained consciousness.

As expected, the so-called prestigious schools are nothing but empty shells.

Just now, the old Taoist priest Tianji ostensibly let Han Feng make a choice, but in reality, he used illusion magic to trick him into handing over the sword pellet.

"Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the affairs of my Taiqing Sect seem to have nothing to do with you, don't you fear I'll take action against you for reminding you like this?" The old Taoist Tianji said with a gloomy face.

“Isn’t your Taiqing Sect a reputable and righteous sect? This sword pellet belongs to Han Feng now. If he gives it to you, that’s fine, but if he doesn’t, he shouldn’t resort to such underhanded tactics.” Su Yinyue showed no fear whatsoever.

"You'd better not get involved from here on out, even if your ancestor and I have some connection."

After warning Su Yinyue, the old Taoist Tianji looked at Han Feng and said, "Have you thought it through? You don't need to doubt my credibility. I, a Mahayana cultivator, have no reason to lie to you."

"I've thought it through. I definitely won't give you the sword pellet. Even if you don't agree to my request, can you guarantee that your disciple Feng Li won't retaliate against me?" Han Feng refused.

In the life simulation he just experienced, he gained a profound understanding of a principle.

That means never handing your fate over to someone else.

"Feng Li, when you get the sword pellet, you must acknowledge this person as your benefactor. Do you understand?" The old Taoist Tianji suppressed his anger.

"Understood!" Feng Li replied reluctantly.

"What's your decision now?" the old Taoist priest asked again.

"I've thought it through," Han Feng said with a smile. "I won't give you this sword pellet."

“Master, there’s no need to be merciful to this kind of person. Just kill him directly,” Feng Li said angrily.

"I've given you the opportunity, but unfortunately you didn't cherish it," the old Taoist priest sighed.

His clone no longer concealed its aura; an aura far surpassing that of a typical early-stage Void Refinement cultivator pressed down on Han Feng.

The old Taoist priest Tianji still didn't want to fight Han Feng, not because he was genuinely kind by nature.

Instead, he consulted a divination for himself, and the divination result indicated a very bad omen.

In other words, this clone of his might not be a match for Han Feng.

Otherwise, how could the old Taoist Tianji, a Mahayana stage cultivator, keep discussing things with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?

They certainly wouldn't resort to underhanded tricks or try to use illusions to make Han Feng hand over the sword pellet willingly.

"If you want war, then let's fight! Why all this nonsense?"

Han Feng activated two body-refining techniques, and the Black and White Heavenly Demons appeared behind him.

As soon as the Black and White Demons appeared, the entire sky was filled with stars and a full moon.

At this time, his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and the black and white Heavenly Demons he had condensed far surpassed those before.

"Those ignorant fools."

The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes slightly, his entire being resembling a sharp sword, radiating a terrifying sword intent.

He emitted a terrifying sword light, continuously heading towards the Black and White Heavenly Demon.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The Black and White Demons were submerged in the sword light and could not be seen for a moment.

"As expected of my master, his methods are unfathomable." Feng Li smiled.

He could sense the power of the Black and White Demons; just now, Han Feng's giant hand alone had rendered him unable to struggle.

Not to mention facing the complete Black and White Demon, in whose presence one would likely be crushed like an ant.

The sword light gradually dissipated, and the Black and White Heavenly Demons reappeared.

"That's impossible!" Feng Li exclaimed in astonishment.

He didn't believe his master's methods had failed to destroy the Black and White Demons.

The old Taoist priest was also briefly taken aback, as his sword energy should have been sharp enough to destroy the Black and White Demon.

However, being a Mahayana cultivator in his true form, he quickly discerned the truth.
