Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Something's wrong. Something's very wrong.

Your eyes gleamed with a mysterious light, calm and deep, your gaze fixed on the slain master, who was planted diagonally into the ground.

[Review the last simulation.]

[Decades later, after successfully seizing and killing the master.]

[At that time, the master killer, led by Yu Ci, traveled eastward, opened the tomb of the God of War, and allowed Pang Hai and Xu Hui to enter, bestowing upon them their destinies.]

[Then it was used as a bargaining chip for the Zhou Kingdom's entry into Shu, in a deal with the Immortal Sect.]

[You and Xu Kun search for the mastermind, entering Shu, the central court, and the capital.]

Wei Zhi has been found.

Then came several years of waiting before the immortal sects finally responded.

That was a calculated scheme devised to kill Xu Kun's inner demons, and also to kill the spirit of the artifact.

Regardless of the cost, Xu Kun will try to seize the opportunity to kill the master.

The Immortal Sect was well-prepared, precisely to re-imprison Xu Kun, the spirit of the artifact, within its master.

[To wield the power of execution.]

At that time, the mastermind was placed atop the Heavenly Peak of the Immortal Sect, guarded by the Sword-wielding Immortal.

[They have already broken the seal and revealed their true form.]

So, what is it that I haven't discovered yet...?

Your thoughts race, images flash through your mind, and you try to find answers in the details you've overlooked.

Soon, you came to a conclusion.

[Decades later.]

[The power of killing one's master.]

[It has been reduced.]

[This is not to say that killing the master was unimportant; at that time, the immortal sects were already well-prepared.]

[In cooperation with the Great Cang Royal Family, they invited the Void Breaker wielding ritual implements, along with the Golden Sun Immortal and the projection of the Sword-wielding Immortal above the Void Breaker.]

[And the Pavilion Master of the Eastern Barbarian Sword Pavilion.]

This lineup is more than enough to deal with the inner demons that are residing in the partially crippled Xu Hui.

You are the only variable.

[They won over Gong Si, assimilated Pei Qingyu, and Xu Hui used his death to revive the chaotic situation, plus your state of mind at the time.]

[They barely managed to snatch the lifeline from the killer.]

But compared to now, the reaction to killing your master makes you realize...

Decades later, the weight given to killing one's master has decreased.

[Powerful beings from the mortal realm, in collaboration with a projection in the heavens, have set a trap.]

Compared to the old Taoist directly confronting the heavens, the difference is like heaven and earth.

So, what secret is hidden behind the killing of the master that you haven't discovered?

You join the Celestial Master's Mansion and become an apprentice of the old Taoist priest, who then unexpectedly breaks free from his restraints.

A combination of unexpected events led to this current turn of events.

Your eyes are clear and bright, calm, with a chillingly unsettling quality.

[From this moment until the time you last seized the power of the Killer, there was an unknown entity that used the Killer to accomplish something.]

Furthermore, this matter is exceptionally "profound."

[It is a profound force that directly triggers the rules of heaven and earth.]

Therefore, this scene unfolded, and the old Taoist priest became genuinely opposed.

"Master! Keep it up! It would be best to find that old sly devil behind this!!"

You suddenly shouted, cheering on the old Taoist priest.

Xu Kun also realized the unpredictable nature of the situation. He raised his cat paw and beckoned, remembering his elder brother saying that this gesture was auspicious.

The old Taoist's solemn and rigid expression almost made me lose my composure.

[Its blue-glowing eyes glared at you, then it focused its energy on fighting against the rules of heaven and earth.]

Your eyes gleamed intensely, your knees were slightly bent, and you squatted down.

[I'm prepared to crouch down at any moment.]

Those words were meant to encourage, but also to provoke and test.

If someone offends you and punishes you, you should immediately squat down, demonstrating "subordinates defying superiors."

[And he had already formulated many rules in his mind.]

[Even someone like this, without thinking, can concoct a whole bunch of rules that make them seem "low."]

If this happens, it implies a complex and multifaceted conspiracy involving emotions, humanity, and intricate details.

From now on, we must use a strategy that targets "people" as our primary means of dealing with them.

If you ignore this situation, the current change is most likely due to the triggering of the rules.

Then you have to use the rules to deal with the rules.

[With the piercing gaze of the broken mirror, "precognition" is always active, ready to deal with any impending crisis.]

[The result... was that everyone was unharmed.]

Your expression is calm.

This is not good news.

"Damn it!"

The old Taoist priest cursed loudly, his expression turning fierce.

"If I don't unleash my power, you won't know what it means to be supreme!"

He released the mudra he had formed with his hands, and the wide sleeves of his black robe fluttered as he slowly stretched them into the void.

This movement feels somewhat familiar.

[It's like the action Xu Hui took when retrieving the stored brain from the heavens.]

Could it be that the old Taoist priest also stored something in the heavens?

[Boom!]

[As the old Taoist priest reached out his hand.]

[A short, violent, terrifying thunderclap, annihilating all things, a condemnation of the world.]

[In an instant, its power and intensity were so great that time seemed to stretch out and consciousness froze.]

The brief, sharp sound of thunder lingered in his mind for a long time.

[Before the lightning struck, the sound of thunder alone was enough to turn people into idiots.]

With unwavering will and seasoned evasiveness, you have temporarily maintained your composure.

[He clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.]

The old Taoist's fleeting display of skill revealed his lofty status.

No wonder they dare to proclaim "I am the only one who matters" every day.

Pang Hai's indomitable blade, at the cost of a drop in cultivation level, could turn even a master of the Overlord Body into an idiot.

[And the old Taoist's thunderous sound...]

[This is group control.]

[This move alone would leave even ten Xiang Ches, who fought in the Battle of Xiangyang, dumbfounded.]

Of course, there are still significant differences in their underlying nature.

Pang Hai's unyielding sword had a lingering, profound, and even contagious influence.

The old Taoist priest, on the other hand, relies purely on strong control; numerical values ​​create the mechanics.

[Oh no... I'm only seeing a corner of the celestial palace again.]

You originally thought that the scene of throwing out the killer and splitting open the Taiyuan Palace was already an accidental intrusion into the imperial court.

[As a result, the old Taoist priest now uses a simple gesture.]

[I'm telling you, you still need to practice.]

You gently rubbed the cat's head, the jumbled threads of thought in your mind constantly untangling, colliding, and reassembling.

Fortunately, the old man in front of me is my master.

If you, old Taoist, can withstand the pressure from the heavens, then you dare to overturn the mortal realm.

The plan needs another minor adjustment.

The old Taoist priest, with his hand outstretched to the sky, was in full spiritual focus at that moment, and divinely perceived your jubilant mood.

His intuition told him that this new apprentice wasn't up to any good.

But he couldn't care less.

[One hand raised to the sky, fingers gradually curling, as if trying to grasp something.]

[Sizzle...]

The faint crackling of electricity rang out clearly amidst the earth-shattering noise.

Golden lightning danced, swirled, and outlined in the old Taoist's palm.

[Gradually forming a series of talismans.]

[After witnessing this, you were deeply moved, your spirits trembled, and a surge of understanding of thunder magic welled up within you.]

[His lightning magic level rapidly increased.]

Black lightning, almost uncontrollable, tore out of his pupils.
