Chapter 29: Another Simulation, The Great Emperor's Inner Classic, The War Emperor's Legacy!

Not long after, late at night.

Inside a quiet room.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged, and a pale blue light screen slowly unfolded in front of him.

[The simulation count has been refreshed. The current simulation count is one. Do you want to start the simulation?]

"Turn on!"

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

[Selection successful. Please choose one of the following three roles.]

[First, the son of the Boundless Ancestor—As the only son born to the Ninth-Rank Supreme Boundless Ancestor in his later years, you have enjoyed the resources of the Boundless Continent since childhood. Although your mother's status was low, the Boundless Ancestor doted on you immensely.]

[Second, the Third Young Master of the Xuantian Palace—You are the youngest son of Liu Tiandao, the Lord of the Xuantian Palace and the most beloved Earthly Sovereign, possessing a naturally occurring Xuan Yin Spiritual Body. Your two elder brothers harbor secret hostility towards you because you have taken away a large portion of the Xuantian Palace's resources.]

[Third, Disciple of the Western Heaven Battle Hall—You are a member of the Blood God Clan in the Lesser Western Heaven Realm of the Western Heaven Continent. Due to your exceptional talent, you were sent to the Western Heaven Battle Hall, one of the super powers of the Great Thousand Worlds and the ruler of the Western Heaven Continent, for cultivation from a young age.]

Please make your choice——

"They all started with background characters and have powerful backers, not bad..."

Seeing that all three forces were at the Supreme level or above, Lu Yu's eyes lit up, but the next second, some key information flashed through his mind, and his expression instantly froze.

"This isn't right. How come all of this involves provoking the Martial Ancestor's forces?"

"When the Martial Ancestor had just ascended to immortality, the Boundless Ancestor tried to seize the Martial Ancestor's wife, Ling Qingzhu, but was almost slapped to death by the Martial Ancestor!"

"Liu Ming, the second young master of Xuantian Palace, took a fancy to Lin Jing, the daughter of the Martial Ancestor, on the Shang Continent, but was suppressed by Ling Qingzhu, the matriarch of the Martial Realm!"

"As for the Western Heaven War Emperor, needless to say, he actually tried to snatch Ying Huanhuan..."

"As a result, he was hunted down by the Martial Ancestor for three whole months, all the way from the Ice Spirit Continent to the Western Heaven Continent..."

"This is simply..."

Looking at the three identity options in front of him, Lu Yu's face darkened. He then took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He rubbed his temples, silently thinking, "Since they're all forces that have offended the Martial Ancestor anyway, I might as well choose the one with the strongest background..."

“The Boundless Ancestor is merely at the Supreme Realm, and although Liu Tiandao is an Earthly Supreme, he is still far inferior to a super power like the Western Heaven Battle Hall. Any elder of the Western Heaven Battle Hall could easily overwhelm him. Since that's the case, there's no need to hesitate…”

"I choose the third option!"

[Selection successful! Identity loading]

[Simulation begins——]

[In the first year, thanks to your outstanding talent for cultivation, and with the Blood God Clan Chief bribing Elder Winter of the Western Heaven Battle Hall with a large sum of money, you successfully obtained the qualification to enter the Battle Hall for cultivation.]

"The Western Heaven Palace, the Emperor of a Hundred Battles, whose battle might is unmatched." — This proverb, which even three-year-olds on the Western Heaven Continent can recite by heart, fills you with anticipation for your upcoming cultivation journey.

[In the second year, after a year of cultivation, your cultivation broke through to the Spirit Wheel Realm, and you officially became a disciple of the Western Heaven Battle Hall. You entered the Spirit Concubine Hall, one of the four halls of the Western Heaven Battle Hall, to cultivate. The hall masters of the four halls are all personal disciples of the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, and the hall master of the Spirit Concubine Hall is Spirit Concubine, one of the four Holy Sons...]

[You have joined the Spirit Consort Palace and been bestowed with a divine-grade superior spiritual technique by the palace elders—the Heavenly Fire Mystic Scripture…]

[In the third year, with the help of the resources sent by the Blood God Clan, your cultivation quickly broke through to the Divine Soul Realm. You participated in the Spirit Consort Palace Grand Competition. Since you were under fifteen years old, you could only participate in the junior group. In the end, you relied on the Heavenly Flame Dragon Finger and the Mad Lion's Roar to achieve twentieth place and obtain the mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Raging Python Spear...]

[In the fourth year, you successfully advanced to the Fusion Realm. The Blood God Clan specially gifted you a top-grade divine attack technique, "Heavenly River Blood Blade." This technique requires a large amount of spirit beast essence blood for cultivation. The elders of the hall suggested you go to the "Spirit Beast Plains" established by the Western Heaven Battle Hall for training. The spirit beasts kept there have a maximum cultivation level of no more than the Heavenly Connection Realm.] [Therefore, you spent three thousand contribution points to purchase a cultivation token for the Spirit Beast Plains and went there to cultivate in seclusion.]

[In the fifth year, through life-or-death battles with various spirit beasts, you broke through to the Transformation Realm, achieving mastery of the Heavenly River Blood Blade. During this time, a senior brother asked you to purchase the essence of the Transformation Realm spirit beast, the Azure Phoenix Eagle. After inquiring about the reason, you learned that he was preparing to refine a high-grade spirit weapon.]

[Through your senior brother's explanation, you have a general understanding of the forging methods of spiritual weapons in the Great Thousand World. As the mainstream weapon for cultivators below the Supreme Realm in the Great Thousand World, the power of spiritual weapons mainly comes from the spirit essence of the spirit beasts they incorporate.]

Even the lowest-grade low-level spiritual artifact requires a Divine Soul Realm cultivation level to fully unleash its power, because it incorporates the essence of a Divine Soul Realm spirit beast. As for mid-grade spiritual artifacts, they incorporate the essence of a Heaven Fusion Realm spirit beast, high-grade spiritual artifacts require a Heaven Transformation Realm spirit beast, and top-grade spiritual artifacts require a Heaven-Reaching Realm spirit beast…

[You had a sudden inspiration and offered your senior brother the essence of the Azure Phoenix Carving as payment to help you refine a special defensive spiritual artifact—one that could be used by those below the Divine Soul Realm.]

[Your senior brother's request for you is quite strange, but as someone from the Western Heaven Battle Hall, he has his own pride and doesn't want to take advantage of you. After much thought, he used the secret weapon-refining methods passed down in the Western Heaven Battle Hall to forge a set of combined spiritual weapons for you—the Mysterious Water Jade.]

This spiritual artifact is a mid-grade spiritual artifact. It can be divided into eighteen small pieces of Xuan Jade. A single small piece of Xuan Jade is only a quasi-spiritual artifact, nine pieces combined together make a low-grade spiritual artifact, and eighteen pieces combined together are comparable to a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

You were overjoyed and thanked your senior brother repeatedly, but he replied that it was a piece of cake...

[In the sixth year, when you broke through to the Heavenly Realm, you suddenly received a message from the Blood God Clan—they were preparing for a major attack on the Luo God Clan, and told you to focus on your cultivation, promising to send more resources after the war.]

[Upon hearing this, you were greatly alarmed and immediately sent a message to dissuade them. However, due to your cultivation level not even reaching the Supreme level, your advice to the Blood God Clan Chief was considered cowardly.]

After a long silence, you started refining pills overnight, producing a large quantity of healing elixirs. While you couldn't stop the war, you wanted to save as many lives as possible for your people.

In the seventh year, a great war broke out between the Blood God Clan and the Luo God Clan. Just as the Blood God Clan was advancing with unstoppable momentum, Mu Chen, the Lord of the Mu Clan, arrived. In less than three rounds, the three Earthly Sovereign Elders of the Blood God Clan were annihilated. The Blood God Clan Chief fled in panic, shouting, "Elder Dong, save me!"

[The bribed Old Man of Winter reluctantly revealed himself, only to be stopped by Mandala, a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign. Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, the Old Man of Winter unleashed the War Emperor's Decree. Instantly, golden battle energy soared into the sky, and the Western War Emperor arrived, intending to forcibly abduct Empress Luo Li of the Luo Clan!]

[Mu Chen was enraged, and the jade cup in his hand shattered with a crack. In an instant, the entire world fell silent, and a figure clad in black robes stepped out from the void—the Flame Emperor, Lord of the Endless Fire Domain, had arrived!]

[Emperor Yan stopped the War Emperor of the Western Heaven, hoping the War Emperor would grant him face. The War Emperor refused, and the two exchanged blows. After one move, the War Emperor was defeated and had no choice but to give Emperor Yan face.]

Subsequently, Emperor Yan exchanged a Dragon-Phoenix Celestial Venerable Pill for Mu Chen and his companion, securing their spots as Chosen Ones of the Continent. To save face, the War Emperor specially opened the Battle Hall's Observation Platform, allowing all disciples to witness the battle for the Chosen Ones of the Continent.

[You witnessed firsthand the defeat of Ling Zhanzi, the leader of the Four Holy Sons, by Mu Chen's spear, and the loss of Ling Feizi, another of the Four Holy Sons, to Luo Li's sword. As Ling Feizi returned dejectedly to her palace, you just finished refining a batch of Grade 5 Blood Essence Pills.]

[You had a sudden inspiration and respectfully presented the still-warm elixir. Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Consort Ling looked at your handsome face and the fifth-grade elixir in her hand, and finally smiled sweetly, accepting you as her personal disciple.]

After all, there are very few level-five alchemists under the age of twenty in the Lingfei Palace.

[In the eighth year, Consort Ling, the Palace Master of the Spirit Consort Palace, imparted to you the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Battle Emperor's ultimate technique, the "Great Emperor's Inner Classic." This technique is suitable for cultivation levels below the Supreme Realm. After studying it, you discovered that if you cultivate this technique alone, its progress speed is only slightly faster than that of ordinary divine-level spiritual techniques...]

[The Spirit Consort explains to you that the true wonder of the Great Emperor's Inner Classic lies in improving cultivation aptitude and healing effects. Through dual cultivation, it can sustainably enhance the aptitude of both parties and simultaneously heal injuries suffered by one of them...]

[Considering the rumors that the Western Heaven War Emperor was known for collecting beauties and being invincible in battle, you suddenly realized that with the support of the Spirit Consort, your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through the physical body and spiritual power barriers one after another, and finally advancing to the Divine Soul barrier...]

[In the tenth year, when you successfully broke through the Divine Soul Tribulation and became a supreme powerhouse, Consort Ling summoned you to the palace, and then pushed you down...]

[This simulation ends——]

【One, Heavenly River Blood Blade (Divine-grade High-level Spiritual Technique)】
