Chapter 131 - 130 Universe Shift, Simulation Again
After leaving the Wild Mountain Ancient Temple, the five messengers waited for Zhao Baiyang’s departure and then quickly left, fearing that Pei Xuanjing might go after them.
As for Dan Feng and his sister, they tagged along with Pei Xuanjing until they reached a city where they decided to part ways.
During the trip, the siblings were vague about their background, but Pei Xuanjing was able to infer that they were of significant origin.
But even so, Pei Xuanjing didn’t take it seriously. He saw them as fellow travellers and did not take the time to probe into their background.
Most of his attention was focused on the Sacred Fire Order. Not only did it provide him with significant Taoyun value, but the martial arts recorded on it were also quite extraordinary.
Universe Shift.
This art is the guarded secret of the Holy Flame Sect and could only be cultivated by the sect’s successive masters.
The essence of this technique is to yield the potential within oneself. Everyone possesses tremendous potential energy that usually remains untapped. However, in a critical moment, even the weakest person can exert enormous strength.
Yet, such a divine technique, despite being exceptionally profound and beneficial, is not easy to cultivate.
For example, the Universe Shift requires not only extremely high comprehension ability but also presents great difficulty in cultivation.
According to the description, it would take seven years to perfect the first level and double that amount of time to reach the second level. The creator of the manuscript only reached the sixth level, and those who practiced to the seventh level were really unprecedented.
However, it is unlmown whether Pei Xuanjing’s comprehension was high or he simply had good luck. He spent a month to complete the introductory phase, and after two months, he saw initial results, and his strength increased considerablv.
After three months, Pei Xuanjing and Pang Hong arrived within a hundred miles of the old Shenxiao Sect.
But Pei Xuanjing did not immediately head to the old Shenxiao Sect, choosing instead to stay nearby, renting a mansion to stay with Pang Hong.
There was no other reason than that after this period of constant refining, the accumulation of Taoyun value was enough for him to run two life simulations.
[Taoyun: 111647 points.]
[Would you like to use the life simulator? One use will consume 50000 Taoyun points.]
Pei Xuanjing initiated the life simulation.
At the age of twenty-five: you arrive at the old location of the Shenxiao Sect and encounter imperial court masters who have been ambushing here for a long time. You slay four first-grade masters, shocking the world.
Several mysterious individuals claiming to be the inheritors of the Shenxiao Sect came looking for you to join forces to resurrect the Shenxiao Sect, but you firmly refused.
Three months later, you quietly arrive at the Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect.
After holding a secret talk with the head of the True Martial Sect and Bai Xiaosheng, you received the Shenxiao Jade Book. You entered the True Martial Sect Scripture Pavilion and looked through the hidden secrets of the True Martial Sect.
Another three months later, the Martial Academy falls, and the first volume of the Martial Classics begins to circulate.
At the age of twenty-six: You’ve trained Universe Shift to the second level.
At twenty-seven: You’ve finished training the Shenxiao Jade Book and, by a happy coincidence, you’ve trained Universe Shift to the third level.
At twenty-eight: The three of you enter a forbidden place which was a Blessed Land formerly belonging to Shenxiao Sect.
Half a year later, you exit the forbidden place with nothing but a Shenxiao Command token.
You leave the True Martial Sect with Pang Hong, who has broken through to the Seventh-grade, and travel the world.
At thirty: You feel a strange movement from the Netherworld Book on your body. You secure Pang Hong and enter another Blessed Land. There, you encounter underworld masters who were attracted by the unusual movements from the Netherworld Book.
After a fierce battle, you slaughter all the underworld masters, yet you also sustain heavy injuries. However, you gain a lot from the occasion, obtaining two more pages of the Netherworld Book.
At that moment, you uncover the mystery of the Netherworld Book. When three pages are combined, it is equivalent to having control over life and death. You progress the Universe Shift to the fourth level.
At thirty-one: You and Pang Hong go into seclusion in a small town, studying the mystery of the Netherworld Book and guiding Pang Hong in his cultivation.
At thirty-three: The emperor dies, and the new emperor ascends the throne. You’ve trained the Universe Shift to the fifth level
At thirty-five: News of your whereabouts is finally leaked. This time, the underworld sends five first-grade masters to kill you but fails as you turn the tide.
At thirty-nine: You’ve trained the Universe Shift to the sixth level.
At forty-five: You’ve trained the Universe Shift to the seventh level. Unfortunately, you suddenly go mad during the breakthrough, your meridians rupture, and you die.
[End of this life.]
I died like that?
To Pei Xuanjing’s surprise, he couldn’t believe that his death would turn out to be so strange.
Does Universe Shift have any drawbacks?
Or perhaps, the seventh level of Universe Shift cannot be successfully cultivated at all?
Looking again at the obscure description on the Sacred Fire Order and considering that the creator of the secret book had never cultivated this martial art to the seventh level, he had a flash of insight.
“Just like the Dragon Elephant Art, the final level of the technique may only be a conjecture and has never actually been practiced. Therefore, there may be some unknown defects that might cause the cultivators to go mad and their meridians to rupture.” Pei Xuanjing speculated. [Simulation ended, you can choose to keep one of the following rewards.]
[First: True Qi accumulation at the age of forty-five.] [Second: Universe Shift at the Sixth Rank.]
[Third: The mystery of the Netherworld Book.]
Pei Xuanjing pondered for a moment, then chose the second reward.
At his level, there are many ways to increase True Qi accumulation, so compared to the other two choices, this reward seemed less appealing.
As for the third reward, the mystery of the Netherworld Book was of no use to Pei Xuanjing at the moment. According to the life simulation, a single page of the Netherworld Book would not be of much use. It takes at least three pages of the Netherworld Book to be activated.
Thus, Pei Xuanjing undoubtedly chose the most practical reward. After all, Universe Shift can more effectively tap into his untapped potential, significantly boosting his strength.
After making the choice, many cultivation methods of Universe Shift appeared in Pei Xuanjing’s
mind, and his True Qi began to circulate accordingly.
First, he felt strands of cold air shooting out from his fingertips, one side of his face flushed red while the other turned pale, but his eyes sparkled with vitality.
Soon after, his face alternated between being green and red. When his face was green, his body shivered as if he were in freezing cold. When his face turned red, sweat poured down from his forehead.
The most surprising thing to Pei Xuanjing was that he usually felt mentally drained after each life simulation and needed some time to recover.
However, after cultivating this martial art, his spiritual strength was abundant, and he no longer felt the slightest fatigue..
