“System, I want to use a free simulation.”
Wang Ping spoke in his heart.
“Life Simulator activated, host has eight free simulation chances remaining.”
The sound of the system rang out, a luminescent screen appeared, and words emerged onto it.
[Day 1: You choose to leave the mountain and head to the Ye’s family in Bai Wood Village. You find Ye Chen and obtain the ring in his possession through a trade. The Ye family is overjoyed to exchange a ring for so many secret books and Spiritual Stones, believing they struck it rich. They think that from now on, the Ye family will rise and may even become a prominent family in Xia.]
[After acquiring the ring, you begin to investigate it with your soul power. Then, you discover the old man’s illusory Soul Body within the ring. He sighs, not expecting such a powerful cultivator like you to appear on the Profound Turtle Continent or for himself to end up in your hands, and attempts to cooperate with you.]
[He hopes that you can help him find some treasures that can aid in the recovery of his soul power, promising to reward you handsomely.]
[After some contemplation, you ask the old man about his cultivation level at his peak, and how he ended up in this state. The old man tells you his story.]
[It turns out that he was also a native cultivator of the Profound Turtle Continent. Two thousand years ago, he was an outstanding individual who reached the Spirit Sea Realm and began to explore ways to go to sea. While heading to sea with a friend, his friend died, but he managed to survive thanks to a spiritual tool, returning to the Profound Turtle Continent.]
[After recovering from his injuries, he began to look for other ways to go to sea, not wanting to be trapped and die on the Profound Turtle Continent.
Eventually, he accidentally discovered the Stele Array in the Purple Sun Mountain Range, which allowed him to teleport away from the Profound
Turtle Continent and arrive at the Falling Star Islands.]
[As you listen to the old man, you wonder why the Seven Stars Archipelago was called the Falling Star Islands. In the end, you realize that the old man is from two thousand years ago and speculate that the Seven Stars Archipelago might not have been called that until the appearance of the Seven Star Palace.]
[The old man continues to recount his story. After wandering around the
Falling Star Islands for some time, his cultivation reached the Spirit
Accumulation Realm, and he then went to the Eastern Desolation.]
[Ultimately, he made a name for himself in the Eastern Desolation, becoming a powerful Profound Elixir Realm Cultivator. However, in his second life, he was finally targeted by a strong individual from a major power. That person called him a ‘Sinful Bloodline Descendant’ and attacked and killed him.]
[If it were not for his sufficient chances, he would have been long dead. After his lucky escape, he realized that the Eastern Desolation was too dangerous and chose to return to the Profound Turtle Continent to hibernate. The reason he has survived for so long is that the ring is a treasure that nourishes the soul, otherwise, his soul would have dispersed into the heavens and earth long ago.]
[After hearing the old man’s description, your heart sinks. You are well aware that the Ancient Beasts in the deep sea refer to the Profound Turtle Continent’s people as Sinful Bloodline Descendants and have analyzed that among the Human Race, there are also such references. Although you have memories of the ‘Seven Stars Archipelago,’ your mind is somewhat at ease, but it seems you still couldn’t escape it.]
[The cultivators of the Eastern Desolation are even more powerful and know more about the ancient secrets, knowing the truth about the ‘Sinful Bloodline Descendants.’ As a result, like the Deep Sea Ancient Beasts, they harbor great hatred and would not hesitate to kill them.]
[You ask the old man why External Cultivators are so hostile to the Profound
Turtle Continent’s people and why they call us ‘Sinful Bloodline Descendants:]
[The old man shakes his head, stating that he doesn’t know. Throughout these years, he has been pondering this question but has never been able to figure it out. This might be a sealed off historical story that only the big shots of the Great Sects know.]
[You feel a sense of loss and unease in your heart. It seems that if you want to go to the Eastern Desolation in the future, you must think it through carefully; otherwise, you will undoubtedly face great danger, and might even perish if you’re not careful.]
[In the end, you curiously ask the rings old man why he told you everything honestly, not fearing that you might kill him after knowing the information.]
[The rings old man shakes his head, stating that he has no choice. From the
beginning, there was no equal dialogue between the two parties. It’s better to tell the truth and let fate decide, rather than being tortured after failing to cooperate. At the same time, he has been holding these words in his heart for many years, and he wanted to vent them, but no one was qualified to listen to his detailed account before.]
[You admire the old man’s free and easy attitude and promise not to harm him. At the same time, you express your desire to become his apprentice and hope that he can teach you cultivation. To this walking encyclopedia, you still feel very tempted and don’t want to miss the opportunity.]
[The old man is surprised at your request to become his apprentice and ultimately agrees. Originally, he planned to wait for his soul to become more solid and then have Ye Chen become his apprentice. However, it seems that there is now a more suitable candidate.]
[After becoming the old man’s apprentice, you learn his real name – Jiang Huai. Upon hearing this name, you are somewhat moved because this name indeed belongs to a famous individual in the history of the Profound Turtle Continent. His swordsmanship was acclaimed as Wind-slicing Swordmaiden, and in his era, no one in the world could rival him.]
[In the days that followed, Jiang Huai began teaching you cultivation. He is amazed at your age and the level of Sword Spirit Comprehension, believing that you are a rare genius of the world whose future achievements may surpass his own. For this, you feel embarrassed. Your situation is unusual; although outsiders may perceive you as talented, in reality, your talent may be falsely high, and reaching those heights in the future is not guaranteed..]
