47: Chapter 47 Preparation Operation
"Are you from the Dead?"
You arrived stepping on Gang Strength and asked directly.
The Man in Black nodded: "Xu Qiao, Disciple of the Death Spirit Mountain of the Dead, cultivation at the Peak Heaven-Human Realm, responsible for guarding Your Excellency."
Peak Heaven-Human Realm? He doesn't look like it.
You stretched out your palm, somewhat awkward: "Well, brother, as you can see, I'm in great danger right now, so I really need some Cultivation resources."
"See if the Dead can provide some support. After all, we are already partners."
Xu Qiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I will send a message back."
"Good."
If you could gain the support of the Dead, your subsequent Cultivation speed would certainly increase significantly.
What a pity, the Refining Strength Realm cultivators you killed back then were too useless, they left behind no resources at all.
It was also because you acted too quickly, reducing everything to ashes.
One month later, the Dead indeed sent a portion of Refining Strength Realm Cultivation resources, very comprehensive in variety.
You seized the opportunity to request several more sets of Sword Techniques for your own Cultivation.
The other party agreed.
From then on, your good days arrived.
Taking Medicinal Pills daily, combined with practicing the very simple Taiyuan Wind and Rain Record, your Cultivation speed increased rapidly.
In the twenty-third year, you directly broke through to the third level of the Refining Strength Realm.
It was also in this year that you devoured the Endless World Slaughter Art.
This Sword Technique was even stronger than the previous Longevity Depletion Sword, bringing you immense improvement.
Your second form directly expanded to twenty-five meters.
When activated, it became increasingly frenzied.
Furthermore, over these years, you often ventured out for various hunts.
During this time, you slew countless enemies, and your Sword Qi grew increasingly formidable.
You also discovered that the stronger your cultivation, the better the effect.
The twenty-fourth year.
You were still Cultivating.
On this day, someone else arrived: "Zhou You."
You heard a cold female voice.
Walking out of the Cultivation chamber, you saw the other party on the horizon.
The newcomer wore a black martial attire, her long hair loose, holding a sword, with killing intent swirling all around her.
"Someone from the Sword Sect?"
The aura of these people was too distinctive.
The Black-clad Woman nodded, her long sword trembling slightly: "Ling Shuang of the Sword Sect, Peak Heaven-Human Realm, here for revenge."
"Still Peak Heaven-Human Realm?"
You raised an eyebrow: "Does the Sword Sect only send you to your deaths?"
"Zhou You, don't think only you can fight above your Realm. This Frost Sword of mine has slain three True Core Realm cultivators."
True Core Realm, the Realm after the Heavenly Human Realm.
You fell silent.
With a casual flick of your finger, a strand of Taiyuan Gang Strength shot out, transforming into countless blue lights charging towards the opponent.
Simultaneously, you blinked lightly.
Having long anticipated your methods, Ling Shuang immediately defended, but she was still a step too slow.
Flames ignited her hair, eyes, cheeks, and clothes.
Just as she activated her True Gang for defense, you spoke: "Scuff my shoes."
Ling Shuang rushed over, opened a small leather case, and began wiping vigorously.
Her face flushed red, full of embarrassment, yet her mouth kept spouting various words of flattery.
You felt nothing about this, simply condensing Gang Strength and directly swinging your sword.
With just the first attack, you severed her protective True Gang.
-19
Then Gang Strength invaded her body, erupting along with Zhou Poison.
Ling Shuang couldn't even let out a scream, because she had to continue Scuffing Shoes.
"Customer, your shoes are so shiny. I've been Scuffing Shoes for over thirty years, this is the first time I've seen shoes polished like this without any oil..."
As she spoke, you also raised your sword and slashed. The Sword Qi accumulated over two years flew out, causing her body to explode.
Her flesh and blood hadn't even scattered before turning into a box, ignited by your gaze and reduced to ashes.
You now held a Cultivation Technique and several bottles of Medicinal Pills.
The Cultivation Technique was very ordinary, only reaching the Grandmaster Realm. The Medicinal Pills were for the Heavenly Human Realm, which you couldn't use yet.
The battle ended. You shook your hand.
"Peak Heaven-Human Realm, too weak."
And this was without activating your second form.
Not to mention your five-hundred-year lifespan Longevity Depletion Sword.
Compared to two years ago, your improvement was immense.
Without even needing to consume your lifespan, you easily defeated the opponent.
Your subordinates from the surroundings rushed over, expertly cleaning the battlefield. Xu Qiao, watching from the distant buildings, murmured: "I wouldn't last a single move against him."
After all, he wasn't confident in killing a True Core Realm cultivator.
Later that year, a few more arrived from other forces, all young Genius Disciples. What a pity, they were too weak.
The following time passed as usual.
Until the twenty-fifth year.
This year, you broke through to the fourth level of the Refining Strength Realm.
One day, Xu Qiao actively sought you out: "The Chief has matters to attend to and may not be able to look after you anymore. Please be as careful as possible."
"The Dead has protected you for so many years, it has done its utmost."
Matters to attend to?
What else could it be at this time? It must be that prophecy.
It seems the Dao Sheng Hall, Guang Ming Institute, the Dead, and the Zhao family have all received the news.
In this situation, is there any room for you to maneuver?
You pondered deeply, trying to grasp something.
Suddenly, you decided to take a risk and try.
No matter what, you wouldn't lose out in this simulation. If you could obtain more resources, that would definitely be a good thing.
If it really didn't work out, you could simply commit suicide and end this simulation.
Over these years, besides those three brocade pouches, you had also prepared other toxins. Combined with spatial manipulation, no one could stop you.
"Brother Xu, please inform the Chief that I have a very important matter to discuss with him."
You decided to lay your cards on the table.
Leaning on the Dead, this great mountain, was clearly a good choice.
However, you didn't plan to truly rely on the Dead. After all, their relationship with Zhao Dachui was unfathomable; you had to be wary.
Three days later.
Tong Yuan once again stood before you: "How important is this matter?"
"I have many things to attend to right now."
You looked at him and said: "The matter of the entire world being destroyed twenty-five years from now?"
Tong Yuan's expression changed: "How could you know?"
"This is impossible."
Only the three major forces and the Zhao family knew about this; it couldn't have been leaked.
You stood up and said: "I naturally have my secrets."
"Senior, please help me contact the Hall Master of Dao Sheng Hall and the Chief of Guang Ming Institute!"
You spoke with an air of profundity: "It concerns the entire world."
Tong Yuan remained silent for a long time, finally choosing to trust his Chief: "I will do it."
For some reason, he had a bad feeling, but no matter how he calculated, he couldn't find the answer.
Two months later.
Time arrived at the twenty-sixth year.
On this day, three people stood before you.
They were precisely Hong Yang, Hall Master of Dao Sheng Hall; Ji Dian, Chief of Guang Ming Institute; and Tong Yuan, Chief of the Dead.
All three were Martial Artists, top-tier powerhouses standing at the Peak of this world.
Every move and gesture was filled with profound meaning.
