In a world of pure martial arts, Yun Shou initially believed he could only live an ordinary life with the weak cheat he possessed.
That was until the age of fourteen, when he obtained a secon...
Although Bei Chenguang and Jiang Yueli lived in the same city, they rarely interacted.
[Until Bei Chenguang accidentally stumbled upon a transaction by the "Black Tiger Gang" in the city. The Black Tiger Gang planned to kill the child, but twelve-year-old Jiang Yueli happened to pass by...]
But Jiang Yueli was only a third-rate martial artist, and just a young girl; how could she possibly deal with those burly men? Taking advantage of her lightness and agility, she grabbed Bei Chenguang's hand and ran.
The two ran together, hid in a corner, and snuggled together; a small seed of friendship was thus planted.
Yun Shou: "..."
[The two gradually became friends, and Jiang Yueli recommended Bei Chenguang to her martial arts master father, wanting him to be her "senior sister."]
[Bei Chenguang's "ordinary parents" also revealed the truth to him: Child, we are actually martial arts masters. Your father was once a traitorous disciple of the xx sect, but we do not hate the xx sect...]
Everything is unfolding like a classic plot, except for one family suddenly being wiped out.
[—You know nothing of the above plot; all you know is that the moment you noticed these two children, they seemed like childhood sweethearts.]
"Damn, you two met by chance with the Otherworldly Demons involved, but you still knew each other even without them."
"Don't tell me your timelines have converged!"
[In the 317th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, you often watch TV dramas.]
[After getting tired of cultivating in the spatial passage, I'll go check out the Three Kingdoms region and see how Beichenguang is developing.]
[The development of martial arts cultivation.]
Without the rigorous training of the "Great Calamity of the Otherworldly Demons," Bei Chenguang is no longer as extraordinary as before, but at only seventeen years old, this martial arts master still amazes the entire era.
Then the assessment that he was "comparable to Emperor Ning nine hundred years ago" fell upon him.
As for you, you're like a shooting star streaking across the martial arts landscape of the Three Kingdoms period—a pure power-up that completely defies the principles of martial arts. Nobody counts you in their calculations.
[In the 325th year of the Daqing era, the Qinghe Gang has disappeared; now it is the Qinghe Sect, whose leader is Song Xiaohu. The sect's signature martial art is the Cold Water Skill, which you passed down before this simulation.]
You often go back to visit acquaintances, and before you go, you make sure your face looks aged.
In the 335th year of the Daqing era, Uncle Ji and his wife passed away one after the other, while Old Man Wang died even earlier.
[In the 342nd year of the Great Glory, heroes are made by the times. You discover that Bei Chenguang is a hero of this world, but he is not truly the protagonist of the entire Qingyu, or even the upper realm "Tianyuan Realm".]
He had become a grandmaster, but he had no desire to "surpass the world" or for "the limits of martial arts." He only wanted to live a happy life with his sister Yue Li.
[In the 355th year of the Daqing era, the world has witnessed countless heroes rise like the morning sun and fall like the setting sun.]
In the 371st year of the Great Celebration, all the grandmasters of your generation passed away.
In the year 375, Zhao Yuan, the highly respected grandmaster of the Yangyao Sect, lay on his deathbed, barely clinging to life. A group of renowned martial arts figures and masters from various factions came to visit him.
[You used a secret technique to distort your face into that of an old man, then, posing as an old friend of Zhao Yuan, you squeezed forward and whispered in his ear.]
"The person who knocked you unconscious with a stick, then threw you into the women's latrine and made you drink a lot of it... was me!"
Zhao Yuan's eyes widened, and he raised his aged hand: "Yes, it's you."
After saying this, he exhausted his last bit of strength and passed away.
"You are truly my great-grandfather's closest friend!" Zhao Yuan's great-grandson, over sixty years old, grabbed your hand, tears streaming down his face. "It seems Grandpa held on until now just to see you!"
"From now on, you will also be my great-grandfather!"
Yun Shou: "..."
[In the 394th year of the Great Celebration, many juniors successively grew into Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters.]
[In the 418th year of the Great Celebration, Bei Chenguang and Jiang Yueli, an elderly couple, were on their honeymoon, commemorating their centennial togetherness. They traveled the world and saw you, trying to obtain the Holy Body, at the spatial passage.]

【(゜ロ゜) *2】
You coughed lightly and produced your personal chamber pot—made from the skull of an alien demon.
"Youngsters," you said, sitting in your hollowed-out clamshell private sea apartment, looking every bit the reclusive sage. "I have guarded this passage for over a hundred years, and finally, I have seen people manage to come here again."
[“Guarding the garrison?” Bei Chenguang, who appeared to be a middle-aged man, embraced his wife, who showed signs of aging. He now possessed a mature demeanor, no longer the impetuous youth he once was: “Senior, what brings you here?”]
"It's nothing, it's nothing," you said nonchalantly. "I just saved the world a little over a hundred years ago."
[You kick the chamber pot: "This guy, a primordial ancient demon from the Azure Domain of the Upper Realm, his strength... well, dozens of times that of a newly promoted Grandmaster. Anyway, you two kids would have been dead if you'd run into him."]
[A normal Grandmaster at their peak has 3-6 times the combat power, a Demonic One about 40 times, and a newly promoted Grandmaster is considered a Grandmaster at their peak with 1 times the combat power... No problem.]
The two people opposite him paused for a moment, then bowed in unison, saying, "Bei Chenguang/Jiang Yueli thank you, seniors."
They felt that what the mysterious young man said was true, except that he was a bit boastful, but that wasn't a big problem, and he deserved their respect.
Setting aside topics like saving the world, Bei Chenguang was now concerned with another question: "Senior, what are you referring to as the Upper Realm?"
You told him some things, and Bei Chenguang was overjoyed. He and his wife hurriedly said goodbye to you.
Six months later, they returned. You watched as Bei Chenguang shattered a large number of Yuan Crystal fragments with a single punch, and cursed him inwardly as a monster.
[This guy isn't like the one in the sixth simulation, who leveled up by defeating monsters to become a powerful figure. He's only relying on his Sacred Body to reach the peak of the Innate Realm.]
[He's a whole level stronger than you. You're only getting stronger by 1% of your essence each year, and you're only at 130 times your original strength. A fully mature Innate Realm cultivator gets 150 times stronger. Bei Chenguang has a Sacred Body and a boost to his affinity with Yuan Qi, so his combat power might be 200 times stronger!]
[You think to yourself, thank goodness I'm a... oh, you're no longer a Grandmaster, you're just a Primordial Being who hasn't yet completed the Heavenly Origin Cleansing.]
[Bei Chenguang only threw three tentative punches before stopping, and then you saw the thick crystal wall of Yuan Crystal actually crumble into large pieces: after being drained of its Yuan Energy, it turned into dust.]
[Yes, he's now a true innate being, able to mobilize and absorb vital energy, not that arrogant, rebellious kid who only relied on his physique when fighting the alien demons last time.]
Bei Chenguang ascended to heaven with his wife. He truly loved Jiang Yueli, even though she was once a young girl but is now old and faded.
You watched the two of them leave.
The Yuan Crystal Barrier collapsed extremely quickly. Before the opening in the lower realm had even healed, the two had already officially stepped into the upper realm. You were wondering if these two would return a hundred years later to bring you some good fortune when you heard Jiang Yue Li's words.
"Senior, I think I saw you at my wedding with Xiaoguang a hundred years ago?"
"And you seem quite similar to the founder of the Qinghe Sect, that legendary figure from 130 years ago."
Back then, your appearance was almost identical to how you look now.
"Holy crap, a box!"
