Chapter 2 First Simulation: Kill Mu Chen and Seize the Divine Technique!

After returning to my residence, I confirmed that no one was around.

Lu Yu immediately sat cross-legged, thinking to himself, "Simulator, tell me how to use it!"

Instantly, a stream of information entered Lu Yu's mind, making him instantly understand how to use the simulator.

As the name suggests, the Future Simulator allows you to simulate your future life. You get one simulation opportunity per month. If you don't use it this time, it will be overwritten by the next simulation opportunity. They cannot be stacked.

The simulated future will appear in his mind in the form of words.

At the same time, the simulation is not static; it unfolds according to his different identities. If he dies in the simulation, or if ten years have passed, the simulation will end.

After the simulation ends, you can choose one of three items from The Sims to bring back to reality.

Such items can be cultivation techniques, treasures, or some kind of inheritance, but they can only be inanimate objects, not living things.

[Ding! The host has one simulation opportunity remaining. Do you wish to begin the simulation?]

"Start! Simulator, let me see your limits!"

He took a deep breath, and with a thought, immediately started the simulation.

[Ding! Extracting a simulated identity for the host—]

[Successfully selected. Please choose one of the following three roles.]

[One, a member of the Mu clan—Due to your transmigration, you and Mu Chen have known each other since childhood, and you are childhood sweethearts.]

[Second, student of the Northern Cang Academy—You were adopted by Lingxi, a highly skilled spirit array master, from a young age, and aspire to become a spirit array master.]

[Third, Dragon Demon Palace Spy—Due to your outstanding appearance, you were recruited and trained by the Dragon Demon Palace as a spy, and ordered to infiltrate the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy to lie low.]

Please make your choice——

"Mu Chen shouldn't have been born yet at this time, right? This simulator really has a bug, but it's a good thing for me. Being familiar with the storyline is a bigger advantage!"

Lu Yu's lips curled into a smile. "I choose one! Isn't it better to cling to Mu Chen's coattails?"

[Selection successful! Identity loading...]

[Simulation begins——]

In the first year, the Five Great Academies opened the Mirror of Judgment to select participants for the Spiritual Path. You were unfortunately not selected because you lacked a spiritual vein, but Mu Chen was chosen and became incredibly famous. You paled in comparison to him...

But you weren't overly disappointed, because you knew what Mu Chen would face next...

[In the second year, your cultivation broke through from the Sensing Realm to the Spiritual Realm, while Mu Chen had been expelled from the Spiritual Path and become a laughing stock of the Northern Spiritual Academy. You comforted him and told him not to be discouraged, thus gaining Mu Chen's favor...]

In the third year, you and Mu Chen broke through to the Spirit Wheel Realm together and participated in the competition for places in the Five Great Academies. You and Mu Chen successfully joined the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy...

In the fourth year, you witnessed Mu Chen's rapid improvement in cultivation, and knowing your own lack of talent in cultivation, you began to silently plan your future path...

[In the second month, due to your outstanding appearance, you hooked up with Senior Sister Bingqing, who came from a branch of the Ice Spirit Clan. With her help, you quickly broke through to the Divine Soul Realm and refined the beast soul of the Azure-Eyed Golden Crystal Beast, which ranked ninety-ninth on the Earth Ranking. Your cultivation began to improve rapidly...]

[In the seventh month, you broke through to the Fusion Realm and went to White Dragon City with Mu Chen to investigate the Spirit Treasure. During the exploration of the White Dragon Spirit Treasure, you obtained the mid-grade spiritual artifact, the Xuan Turtle Shield...]

[In the ninth month, Mu Chen broke through to the Tongtian Realm and is about to participate in the Five Great Academies Competition, while you remain trapped in the Rongtian Realm.]

[You suddenly realize—this is just a simulation! Death is not the end, but a new beginning!]

You let out a maniacal smile and made a decision that even chilled you to the bone...

[Afterwards, you invited Mu Chen to go out with you to complete the mission of hunting down disciples of the Dragon Demon Palace. You used your life savings to buy the Spirit-Breaking Powder, which can poison even those at the Lesser Tribulations of the Supreme Realm. You caught him off guard, poisoned him, and found the Great Floating Pagoda Technique Yang Scroll on his body...]

Just as you were about to run away with Yang Juan, a slender figure rose from Mu Chen's body, and you were slapped to death by Qing Yanjing's spiritual clone! [This simulation is over—]

You can choose one of the following three items.

【1. Xuan Turtle Shield (Mid-grade Spiritual Weapon)】

Second, the Azure-Eyed Golden Crystal Beast Soul.

【Three, Great Floating Pagoda Technique, Yang Scroll (Ancient Divine Technique)】

"Great, as expected of me in the simulation!"

"He acted decisively, dying once and obtaining half of the Primordial Divine Technique!"

"It's worth it!"

Lu Yu's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

As a transmigrator familiar with the plot, he knew all too well the value of the Great Floating Pagoda Technique. It was an ancient divine technique that could be cultivated directly to the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme! Even in the entire Great Thousand World, it would rank among the top five peerless cultivation techniques.

In terms of profound mystery, it probably surpasses all the cultivation techniques of the Dou Qi Continent combined!

"In that case, I choose—"

"The Great Floating Pagoda Technique: Yang Scroll!"

With a thought, Lu Yu instantly saw a black scroll fall into his hand.

"This is the Yang Scroll of the Great Floating Pagoda Technique?"

The moment Lu Yu unfurled the scroll, countless profound runes surged into his brow like a galaxy pouring down. He trembled violently, the profoundness of the cultivation technique that appeared in his mind far exceeding his imagination—compared to it, the Earth-rank cultivation technique given by Elder Yao was simply child's play!
"This...this is truly a top-tier cultivation technique!"

His face showed shock, and he immediately sat cross-legged, circulating his battle qi according to the cultivation method. His internal meridians spontaneously formed a mysterious tower-shaped structure, and the originally milky white battle qi gradually transformed into a deep, dark black as it circulated.

"boom!"

As the cultivation technique was completed for the first time, a black aura suddenly erupted around Lu Yu, and the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) surged wildly into his body, causing his cultivation level to rise steadily.

Eight-Star Warrior!
Nine-Star Fighter!
One-Star Dou Master!
"They actually broke through to the Dou Shi level!"

Lu Yu opened his eyes, a faint black tower silhouette appearing in his pupils. He felt the new power within him, a smile playing on his lips: "The Great Pagoda Technique, truly lives up to its name..."

"I feel incredibly strong right now!"

"However, since I have already cultivated the Great Floating Pagoda Technique, I can no longer cultivate the Earth-rank cultivation technique that Elder Yao gave me. If he asks about it, I will have to find an excuse to fool him."

His eyes flickered, and he quickly came up with an idea. With Yao Lao's knowledge, perhaps he could use "the cultivation technique given to him by Xun'er" as an excuse. Moreover, given Yao Lao's character, even if he saw through the deception, he probably wouldn't interfere.

"More importantly..." A glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes as information about the Great Floating Pagoda Technique surfaced in his mind. This technique is divided into Yin and Yang volumes, and only when Yin and Yang are in harmony can its maximum power be unleashed.

He clearly remembered the amazing effect of Mu Chen and Ling Xi's dual cultivation in the original work, which directly broke through from the early stage of the Tongtian Realm to the peak of the late stage of the Tongtian Realm, almost raising him by a whole major realm!

“Xun’er…” Lu Yu subconsciously looked towards a secluded courtyard, but then shook his head, “It’s too early now.”

Xun'er, possessing a divine bloodline and the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, is indeed the best candidate. However, given his current strength and status, rashly proposing dual cultivation would be tantamount to suicide; he must wait for the right opportunity…

"We'll have to find others. Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body, Qinglin's Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils, and Ziyan's Ancient Void Dragon Body are all excellent candidates for Yin Scroll cultivation. We still need to plan carefully..."

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but think to himself.
