The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 19: Chapter 18: Aftermath and Another Simulation

A twenty-year-old Sixth Grade Martial Artist, such a remarkable talent, even in the entire Northwest Dao, is top-notch; the leaders of all forces mused over the measures the always domineering Liu family would take in response to being at odds with such a person.

Everyone knew that the Liu family's power had rapidly risen in recent years due to their connection with a powerful figure of Northwest Dao. They offended numerous other factions and angered many people during their rise to power.

This time Pei Xuanjing's intervention left Liu Ruilong in a humiliating defeat, a somewhat embarrassing spectacle for the Liu family. Hence, not only was the Shen's Business Association amused, but other factions also took pleasure in this.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they would take action at the moment to recruit Pei Xuanjing and offend the Liu family.

They continued to observe, waiting to see whether Pei Xuanjing would still have the ability to withstand, or even retaliate, against the Liu family's forthcoming actions. He needed to prove his worth for them to recruit him.

After all, while twenty-year-old Sixth Grade talents are rare, they are not non-existent. Only those talents who have weathered the storm and survived till the end are worth their association.

Against expectations, the domineering Liu family did not retaliate after Liu Ruilong's setback this time. Instead, they quietly suppressed the matter and let Pei Xuanjing be.

This move surprised all factions. It even stirred their curiosity, they wanted to know exactly what scheme the Liu family was plotting, such that they could even stomach such a matter.

Although Pei Xuanjing did not have exact information about the thinking of the major forces in the city, he could generally guess their thoughts. After all, he too was once part of them, controlling one faction.

He wasn't interested in becoming a target, to stir trouble for the benefit of these people. Since the Liu family wasn't taking action, he would naturally not initiate anything. Instead, he accelerated his pace in refining his skill to accumulate Taoyun, aiming to unleash his next life simulation to enhance his strength.

Under such a strange atmosphere, three months passed in Anping Prefecture. That day, Pei Xuanjing finally accumulated enough Taoyun value to activate the life simulator again.

As his strength improved, his Taoyun refining speed also increased rapidly. Although "Water Swordsmanship" is only a medium-tier martial study and remained incomplete, the Taoyun value it contained was far superior to low-tier martial studies. Within just three short months, he had accumulated over four thousand Taoyun values for himself.

[Taoyun: 4122 points.]

Seeing this Taoyun value, enough to support him for two life simulations, a smile appeared on Pei Xuanjing's face.

[Do you want to use the Life Simulator? One use will consume 2000 Taoyun points.]

Without any hesitation, Pei Xuanjing chose 'yes'.

[Great Tao is fifty; Forty-Nine Heavenly Paths. Shun away one! Hence, there will always be a glimmer of hope for all things in the world!]

Nineteen years old: Due to a dispute over a courtyard, you offend Liu family, a major force in Anping Prefecture. During Liu Ruilong's provocation, you broke his hand tendons, igniting a major feud with Liu family.

But due to the checks and balances amongst the various factions, Liu family has temporarily not sought revenge. You have spent two peaceful months.

At this time, the Liu family people invite you to reconcile. However, during the negotiation, tensions explode and you are ambushed by members of Liu family, who even sent out two Sixth Grade experts.

With the medium-tier "Water Swordsmanship," you have killed several Liu family experts and fled the ambush.

At this moment, you are rescued by people sent by the prefectural lord. As soon as you defeated Liu Ruilong, you caught his attention. Knowing the Liu family's plan, he decided to observe whether you were worth saving. In the end, your performance convinced him to offend the Liu family for your sake.

The prefectural lord's intervention gave you protection, and though it took three Earth Yuan big pills to heal you, you agreed to do something for the prefectural lord as repayment for saving your life.

Twenty years old: While you are cultivating, you receive an invitation from the prefectural lord, who then tells you what he needs your help with.

A Blessed Land has been revealed, and there are restrictions in the Forbidden Place. People under thirty years old can only enter. The prefectural lord needs you to lead a team into it to seize the arcana within.

Because of the prefectural lord's life-saving grace and his generous promise of rewards, you did not refuse.

Three months later, you led the prefectural lord's people into the Forbidden Place, trying to acquire the arcana.

However, you didn't expect this Forbidden Place to have such a massive appeal and be so dangerous. It was akin to walking on thin ice, every step fraught with danger.

After entering the Forbidden Place, you encountered the Liu family. Faced with enemies, you unhesitatingly made the decisive move to take advantage of the Forbidden Place and ambushed the members of Liu family.

Afterwards, with the help of your companions, you went through countless trials and tribulations to finally seize the arcana. But before you could leave, you were surrounded by other people.

Facing the siege of many people, you, as a Sixth Grade Martial Artist, with the help of your subordinates, eventually made a breakout, secured the arcana, and successfully escaped from the Forbidden Place.

However, to your surprise, when you left the Forbidden Place and arrived at the agreed location, the person who the prefectural lord had sent to meet you had not arrived. Instead, it was the Liu family who had laid an ambush.

The patriarch of the Liu family took action personally. You, already wounded, faced the Fifth Rank Martial Artist, the Liu family patriarch. Severely wounded, you somehow managed to integrate your spilling blood with the arcana, which boosted your fighting power as never before. You broke through to the Fifth Rank, killed the Liu family patriarch in a desperate fight, and escaped the siege. However, you ended up cornered, falling off a cliff in the process of fleeing.

Instead of dying from falling off the cliff, you, by some fluke, landed in a river. Drifting downstream in an unconscious state, you woke up to find yourself in an unfamiliar place.

At this time, you realized the forced breakthrough and the desperate fight to kill the Liu family patriarch had a cost. The backlash left your body devoid of True Qi, and your Dantian shattered. Years of hard cultivation were all in vain.

Twenty-one years old: Your shattered Dantian and lost strength demoralized you, your lofty ambitions seemed like pie in the sky.

Twenty-three years old: After enduring three years, you saw a spider tirelessly spinning its web, which reignited your confidence. You resolved to develop your own skill method, independent of a Dantian.

Twenty-four years old: You started re-reading all the skills you had practiced before, word by word. You even went so far as to learn medicine to understand human meridians for this reason.
