[At the age of eighteen, you experienced some minor incidents in the Yuhua Immortal Sect, and you easily resolved Xiong Lou's conspiracy.]
He Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it was good. Since it could be easily resolved, he could just act according to the original plan.
[...You reminded Shi Chengzhi repeatedly, saying that Qi Zhu had left in a hurry a few days ago and that he was worried about an accident. Shi Chengzhi thanked you, calculated with his fingers, and knew Qi Zhu's exact location, then left Yuhua Xianzong.]
【……】
You hid beneath the Refining Treasure Cliff, awaiting Fang Hao's arrival. You clutched tightly in your hand the life plate that would allow Li Daocun to strike with all his might. To be on the safe side, you also crafted a talisman capable of inflicting a certain amount of damage to the soul. The higher the opponent's cultivation, the less effective the talisman would be.
Soon, Fang Hao arrived with several monks. You discovered Youli among them. You immediately crushed the life plate, but discovered that its power was also greatly reduced here.
[Fang Hao was caught completely off guard and was killed instantly by the life plate you sent. Immediately afterwards, you used another talisman to annihilate Fang Hao's soul as it was about to escape.]
After finishing everything, you noticed that the monks nearby were looking at you with rather hostile eyes. You sneered and launched a punch. With your Jindan stage physique, you were unstoppable from then on, and soon everyone succumbed to your might.
You were about to kill Youli, who you had punished, but he claimed to know the secrets of the sacred mountain. You hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to eliminate him forever. You struck Youli down with a few punches, and his death was extremely tragic.
This act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys made everyone even more fearful of you. You led them towards the sacred mountain, remaining extremely cautious, tightly clutching all of your Divine Transformation Stage Life Tokens. Not long after, you encountered poisonous insects again, killing several of them in quick succession. You discovered that the insects themselves were not very powerful, and even the significantly reduced Divine Transformation Stage Life Tokens were able to easily wipe out the poisonous insects.
[It's been a thrilling journey. Originally a group of over twenty people, we've reached a location with strange fluctuations. Your number is now less than a handful.]
You notice that the situation here is very similar to the trap set up at the altar entrance in Langya Heavenly Palace, so you have everyone take the lead in triggering the formation.
[You discovered a hidden killing formation here. After several attempts, you discovered that every time someone was caught in the formation, the formation would stagnate for a moment. You took advantage of the gap when someone was caught to pass through.]
[The remaining five people followed closely behind, and you went through several forbidden tests one after another. In the end, only you were safely teleported to the surface of the lake.
He Changsheng guessed that things might not be that simple, and there might be even more unpredictable dangers ahead.
The purpose of Fang Hao luring those people here was most likely not for the simple formations and restrictions outside... but for the ultimate sacred mountain.
His guess was not without basis. In the previous simulation, Fang Hao only brought Li Qingshan with him.
If Li Qingshan was used outside, why would Fang Hao go to so much trouble to find such a powerful person in the Return to Void Stage, as well as the several Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators he had brought back from Le'an before?
Fang Hao only needs to find some ordinary cultivators to dissolve the formations and restrictions outside.
Maybe Fang Hao is proficient in this and has a way to crack it.
All signs indicate that Fang Hao has a bigger conspiracy hidden behind this.
[You reach the surface of the lake and discover that your imprisoned cultivation is instantly restored. You then fly your sword to the foot of the sacred mountain.]
This place seems like a blessed land for immortals, with a sacred mountain towering into the clouds. You suspect your chance lies atop the sacred mountain. You attempt to ascend to the summit with your sword, but discover that any flight technique is ineffective there. You stride briskly towards the stone steps.
As you take a step, you feel an invisible pressure. You realize something's wrong and want to pull away, but your feet feel incredibly heavy, preventing you from leaving the steps. But as you continue forward, the heaviness immediately disappears.
You slowly ascend the mountain, the resistance ahead growing stronger and stronger. You're surprised to discover that your cultivation level is also gradually improving. By the 100th step, your cultivation level has broken through to the second level of the Spiritual Transformation Stage. However, the pressure ahead also becomes unprecedented, leaving you feeling shaky.
[At this moment, a wind blade descended. You frantically tried to block it, using all your strength, but you finally managed to dispel it. You tried to retreat again, but your feet were still as heavy as before, so you had no choice but to continue walking forward slowly.]
You reach the 101st step. Besides the sudden surge of pressure, you feel a stinging pain in various parts of your body. You grit your teeth and continue forward. By the 99th step, your entire body is covered in wounds, and your body is shaky, ready to collapse at any moment.
[With nowhere to retreat, you finally reached the 200th step with all your might, breaking through to the third level of the Spiritual Transformation Stage. At this moment, an even more powerful wind blade descended upon you, leaving you powerless to resist. Struck by the wind blade, you plummeted into the lake, soundless.]
After watching this simulation, although he died in the end as expected, He Changsheng was still quite satisfied with the process.
This simulation was extremely rewarding and was the smoothest one among all the recent simulations. Since the sacred mountain was so dangerous, there was no need for him to get involved.
Although opportunities are tempting, you must also act within your means.
His cultivation had been stuck at the first level of the Spirit Transformation Stage for a long time. This time he was able to break through two levels in a row, which was at least better than the previous ten simulations.
If he breaks through one more level of cultivation, he will be able to reach the fourth level of the Spirit Transformation Stage, which is the threshold to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage. With the mysterious power of the Green Water Sword Technique, he may be able to defeat those in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Looking at the Yuhua Immortal Sect, Li Daocun is his only remaining threat.
[At the end of this simulation, you can choose one of the following rewards.]
[The cultivation level of the third level of the Spiritual Transformation Stage.]
【Fang Hao's conspiracy.】
【Youli's thoughts.】
He Changsheng: “…”
The reward this time is a bit difficult to decide, but Fang Hao’s conspiracy is definitely more valuable than his cultivation.
What made He Changsheng angry was that it didn't appear earlier or later, but appeared at the same time as the cultivation level. The dog system must have done it on purpose.
The next moment, a message appeared in his mind, and He Changsheng suddenly realized something.
It turned out that Fang Hao had gathered so many people in the Spirit Transformation Stage, including Li Qingshan at the back, all to help him block the wind blades.
Fang Hao only needs to follow closely behind to avoid the attack of the wind blade, and he only needs to relieve the pressure of the stone steps along the way.
[I'm going to update only once today due to health reasons. Sorry, I'll try my best to make up for the missed update in a few days.]
