[Taoyun: 60163 points.]
[Would you like to use the Life Simulator? It consumes 20,000 Taoyun points per use.]
“Yes!”
Twenty-three years old: As the winds of unrest surged within the imperial court, you chose seclusion within the Martial Academy to avoid getting embroiled.
A few days later, Lin Qingyi suddenly arrived, claiming he had clues to the identity of your unknown assailant and invited you to accompany him to confront them. You agreed readily.
However, to your shock, the hideout turned out to be an outpost of the Underworld, ruled by Equal King, one of the Ten Judges of Hell.
Despite your injuries, you managed to defeat the second-grade Martial Artist from the Underworld, but in the process were severely wounded and poisoned by the Yin Sha Qi.
Half a month later, Qingyang Zi deduced that the only remedy for your injuries was to have the sect leader of the True Martial Sect personally heal you.
One month later, you arrived at the Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect to meet the sect leader.
Twenty-four years old: Upon arriving at Taihe Mountain, the sect leader of the True Martial Sect personally healed your injuries and purged your body of the Yin Sha Qi.
Half a year later, your injuries fully healed, you chose to stay within the True Martial Sect to receive instructions from the sect leader. You also entered the Scripture Pavilion to study Martial Studies, thereby enriching your understanding of Martial Arts.
Twenty-five years old: Finally, you derived the eighth and ninth layers of the “Four Spirits Skill”. The sect leader of the True Martial Sect discerned it as the pinnacle of superior Martial Studies, comparable to some peerless Martial Skills. The only regret was that no one had reached the first-grade realm learning this skill. Otherwise, it could almost have been considered a semi-peerless skill.
The Sect Leader even lamented that if you had derived this skill earlier, there would have been no need to purge the Yin Sha Qi from Equal King. Instead, you could have absorbed it to enhance your power.
Eventually, you named this skill the “Four Seasons Celestial Skill”.
After mastering the Mysterious Skill, you received a message from Qingyang Zi saying that the ‘Martial Scripture’ was about to be completed and asked you to return to Tiandu.
Three months later, just about to reach Tiandu, you were ambushed.
Facing a combined onslaught from two second-grade Martial Artists of the Underworld, you fought a desperate battle that ended in mutual destruction.
[End of this life.]
Having viewed this simulation, Pei Xuanjing was intrigued. He hadn’t anticipated the presence of Underworld agents within Tiandu.
The Underworld, with its ancient and venerable origins, rivals the White Lotus Sect in terms of antiquity.
However, unlike the rebellious White Lotus Sect, the Underworld is more of an assassin organization.
Members of the Underworld come from diverse backgrounds. They wander the world, known only by their code names. No one knows their true names or identities.
[The simulation has ended and you can now choose one of the following rewards.]
[First, accumulation of True Qi for ten years.]
[Second, the complete version of the “Four Seasons Celestial Skill”.]
[Third, the experience of combating a second-class Martial Artist.]
Pei Xuanjing chose the second option. The next moment, the complete technique of the “Four Seasons
Celestial Skill” surfaced in his mind, laying out a clear roadmap for his Martial Arts cultivation journey.
The “Four Seasons Celestial Skill” was created by Pei Xuanjing with the “Four Spirits Skill” as the foundation, it merged the principles of other techniques and divided into nine stages, corresponding to every realm after reaching the grade stage. It is considered superior Martial Studies that forms a direct pathway to the first-grade Martial Artist realm.
According to the evaluation of the True Martial Sect Leader in the life simulation, this is considered to be the epitome of superior martial arts techniques, almost comparable to many peerless skills. If one day Pei Xuanjing could step into the first-grade realm while practicing this skill, it could be regarded as a semi-peerless skill.
In addition to the cultivation technique, there is a corresponding Sword Skill, which is called the Four Seasons Sword Skill.
The rewards from this life simulation were extensive for Pei Xuanjing.
Although he didn’t manage to break through to the second-grade realm in this simulation, he had deduced his technique to the ninth layer, eliminating any future worries about his cultivation technique.
It’S worth noting that Pei Xuanjing’s hesitance to progress in his techniques was due to his considering a shift to a different technique.
In the following days, Pei Xuanjing recovered his spirit while meticulously studying the “Four Seasons Celestial Skill” , and began to gradually convert the True Qi within his body.
After waiting a few days, he activated the life simulator again.

“Yes!”
Twenty-three years old: Amid the rising turbulence in the Court, you paid no heed, focused on cultivating the recently derived “Four Seasons Celestial Skill”.
Just when your True Qi conversion was completed, Lin Qingyi invited you to join him in exterminating the forces behind your past assassination attempt.
Despite being a third -grade Martial Artist, you managed to slay Equal King, a second-grade Martial Artist of the Underworld. While this won you great fame in Tiandu, you were injured by his Yin Sha Qi before his death.
A month later, under Qingyang Zi’s guidance, you arrived at the Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect to meet the True Martial Sect Leader.
Twenty-four years old: Using the “Four Seasons Celestial Skill”, along with instructions and assistance from the True Martial Sect Leader, you began to transform the Yin Sha Qi in your body, enhancing your skill.
Half a year later, you successfully transformed the Yin Sha Qi in your body to increase your power, your strength soared instead of decreasing.
You did not leave, but stayed in the True Martial Sect to cultivate and verify your martial arts path.
Twenty-five years old: You returned to Tiandu and were ambushed by two second-grade assassins from the Underworld just before reaching. You easily killed them both and returned to the Martial
Academy, where you were pleased to see Pang Hong had broken through to the ninth-grade realm.
The ‘Martial Scripture’ was successfully compiled, which drew the attention of a gang of thugs intent on ransacking the Martial Academy.
With your formidable strength, you slew several second-grade thugs, drawing the attention of a first-grade thug. Facing his thunderous attacks, you were caught off guard.
That night, the ‘Martial Scripture’ was destroyed, the Martial Academy suffered heavy losses, and the young man who called you his teacher was killed. You survived by chance, but your skills were wasted.
Although filled with anger, you were helpless.
You swore to re-cultivate your martial arts and take revenge in the future.
Twenty-six years old: You bid farewell to Gu Ji and left Tiandu, unexpectedly encountering King Xing, who was also leaving Tiandu. Both of you hit it off immediately and found kindred spirits in each other. King Xing did not discriminate against you for your low strength and invited you to return to his fiefdom to discuss Dao.
With no place to go, you went with King Xing.
Twenty-eight years old: Gu Ji was appointed as the Left Deputy Minister of the Ministry of War.
Twenty-nine years old: You received news about an uprising in the Northwest Dao, Gu Ji’s loss in quelling the rebellion, and his demise in the uproar. You were filled with sorrow.
Thirty years old: You received a gift from Gu Ji delivered by someone before his death. It was a technique he begged from a scholar. You burst into tears upon seeing this.
Thirty-one years old: King Xing passed away, and you lost another close friend. Overwhelmed with grief, you departed from the Xing King Mansion after King Xing was buried..
