[After taking that step, you will finally have the opportunity to ask her about her past and why she cultivates so desperately. A resolute glint flashed in Dan Bingli's eyes at this, but she dared not tell you; instead, she offered you comfort through her extremely tender and affectionate service.]
[In every quiet night that followed, she used her tenderness to dispel all your weariness and gloom. She willingly used endless gentleness and love to immerse you in her embrace, making you forget all thoughts of questioning. In her gentle embrace, you no longer had the leisure to explore the secrets hidden behind it.]
However, an inner unease lingered, flickering subtly in the depths of her eyes during every tender gaze—an expression of reluctance mixed with helplessness.
But how could her clumsy attempt at concealment possibly fool your investigation?
After a passionate embrace, when she was utterly exhausted and her defenses were at their weakest, you gently stroked her hair and whispered in her ear your unconditional love and trust. But Dan Bingli bit her lower lip tightly, stubbornly holding firm even under your gentle advances.
But under your deeply affectionate and tender words, the strong defenses she held in her heart gradually crumbled. Biting her lip, her eyes glazed, she finally revealed, haltingly, the long-buried secret to you...
[When Dan Bingli came to her senses, she realized what she had just said, and her face turned pale. She could only keep urging you not to get involved in this matter.]
You remained silent for a long time, only gently patting her back to comfort her...
On the fifteenth day, Lingyuan Sect went on high alert and summoned the top five members of the Fengyun Ranking back.
[You flew towards the Trial Hall of the Spirit Abyss Sect under Dan Bingli's somewhat meaningful gaze, but what you didn't know was that after you left, Dan Bingli watched your departing figure with immense reluctance, a glance that seemed to last an eternity.]
She knew that once she revealed the secret, you would inevitably get involved, but that would be a certain death sentence. Knowing the power of that force, she had no intention of dragging you into this endless abyss. As the Spirit Abyss Gate was completely sealed off, she suppressed her excruciating pain and resolutely left the Spirit Abyss Continent.
[Dan Bingli gazed at the receding direction of Lingyuan Gate, tears blurring her vision...]
[Only when you arrived at the training hall within the sect did you learn the reason for this gathering of the top five on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.]
The incident began when the Dark Pavilion and the Blazing Fire Sect discovered a hidden ruin in the void in a corner of the Spirit Abyss Continent. This ruin immediately attracted the attention of most of the forces on the Spirit Abyss Continent.
[The Lingyuan Sect was no exception; they sent people to investigate, but strangely, everyone who went in disappeared without a trace, and no one came out either.]
When the elders of the sect went to investigate, they noticed something amiss. Though difficult to describe precisely, it was enough to set alarm bells high in their hearts...
On the seventeenth day, led by Dean Yuanxuan, you arrived at the so-called ruins and then ventured inside.
On the twentieth day, the ruins began to collapse, and an aura completely different from the spiritual energy of countless worlds began to spread. Just as you were about to be swallowed up, you only saw five figures in blood-red robes kneeling on the ground, while the empty corpses of Wu Changkong, Xiao Ming, Su Yaoyue, and Feng Zhiyu, who had come with you, stood there.
Before the five figures in blood-red robes, a dark pupil opened from the void. Your eyes widened, and before you could react, an overwhelming power completely engulfed you.
The soul within the dantian was instantly annihilated, and the body, like a flickering candle in the wind, vanished into eternal silence under this terrifying power...
This simulation has ended and is currently being evaluated...

[a: 1 point of emotional intelligence; b: 1 point of appearance; c: 1 point of skill; d: 1 point of luck]
Qin Luo looked at the simulation with a thoughtful expression.
There's just too much news this time, not only about Dan Bingli's inheritance of the Ice Emperor bloodline, but also about some kind of ruins that will be revealed soon.
"No wonder the Dark Pavilion and the Blazing Fire Sect fought over the Spirit Crystal that broke the restriction in Qingyun Heaven. It turns out it was for this ruin."
"If I had known, I would have just taken a picture of it back then, and it would have saved me from all this trouble."
Qin Luo looked bitter. He originally thought that the Lingyuan Sect's vigilance and gathering of the top five on the Fengyun Ranking meant that they had discovered some extraordinary blessed land. Who would have thought that it would turn out to be such a dangerous and bizarre ruin? Not only did the four people on the Fengyun Ranking who came with him suffer a tragic fate, but he himself also lost his life here.
Moreover, the affairs within the Danbingli Clan were something he couldn't resolve for the time being. Judging from the information she revealed in the simulation, the force hidden behind her clan was very likely a terrifying existence beyond the Saint Realm, and what they were plotting was the Ice Emperor's inheritance that had been lost for a long time.
"In the end, it's still a matter of not being strong enough. Let's get through the current difficulties first."
Nian Zhi, Qin Luo had a thought, and was about to use the remaining 65 simulation points on luck, but then hesitated and invested 30 points instead.
"After all, we still need to reserve some simulation points as a backup plan, so that we can be absolutely sure of success."
Qin Luo then started the doubling simulation again:
The first time, I doubled my strength, then I doubled it again, and then I doubled it again for appearance, wasting another simulation point.
Fortunately, luck finally came on the third try.
......
After an incense stick had burned, Qin Luo stared at the final result of the simulation, his eyes flickering uncertainly, and murmured to himself:
"As expected, what seemed like a hopeless situation actually had a glimmer of hope! Is this power of luck really so miraculous? Heaven has not forsaken me; I have carved out a path to reverse the tide in the midst of a desperate situation."
"However, although I know how to fight to seize that last glimmer of hope, the strength shown in the simulation is far from enough to keep me safe until the critical moment."
Qin Luo frowned slightly, a look of relief appearing on his face:
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to reserve some simulation points that I have not yet used."
Muttering to himself, Qin Luo unhesitatingly invested another thirty simulation points into his skill. In an instant, all the attributes were clearly displayed:
a) 50 points of emotional intelligence (beginning to understand romance); b) 4 points of appearance (average appearance); c) 54 points of skill (gradually improving); d) 80 points of luck (fortune is on your side)
Then the numbers started doubling, and thankfully this time it doubled directly to "Lucky," which relieved Qin Luo, and he started the simulation again...
