Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

After a brief discussion, a general direction was established for the next steps.

Wei Qi, Pang Hai, and Xu Hui each returned to their lodgings to rest.

Xu Kun wagged his tail and sat down on the doorstep.

After the others left, he turned back to look at you.

"Meow~ Big brother, are we going into the courtyard so early this time? Meow~"

Having experienced the previous cycle of reincarnation, it harbors a deep-seated fear of the Central Courtyard.

[Especially the Taiyuan Palace within the imperial city.]

You are holding a teacup.

[In a leisurely tone: "With the matter in the Western Regions settled, one less thing on my mind has been resolved. Naturally, it's time to get things moving."]

Xu Kun didn't question why you were so persistent in stirring up trouble.

On the contrary, it reveals a sense of eagerness to try.

[Just a slight hesitation: "Meow~ Isn't this too hasty? A more cautious approach might be safer, meow~"]

Even the extraterrestrial demons, with their unbridled arrogance and treacherous cunning, are treated with such caution.

[It's clear that the last simulation left it with multiple psychological scars.]

You understand its worries.

If life were only lived once, there would be no taking back a move.

"Then you must be a master of the art of survival."

[I won't take any suicidal actions that I'm 99% certain of succeeding.]

But if we could do it all over again...

[We will definitely need to use radical methods to uncover as many secrets as possible and obtain intelligence.]

[The Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain, the chaotic Spring and Autumn Period of the Holy Sect, the ancient city of Loulan in the Western Regions...]

You have gained a deep understanding of these top human powers, and have either joined, cooperated with, or clashed with them.

Of course, you can also test the waters with the top forces of other cultivation systems.

[Such as Buddhism and Confucianism.]

But ultimately, it feels restrictive and a waste of time.

[After all, no matter how powerful Confucianism and Buddhism are.]

Is there anyone in this world stronger than your master, the old Taoist?

[Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme.]

This slogan isn't just empty boasting.

Without the corresponding strength, one will truly suffer divine retribution.

"Oh... the power of divine retribution is in my hands, then there's nothing to worry about."

No wonder he dared to shout so cheerfully.

Therefore, they entered the central courtyard and the imperial court, stirring up a storm to see how many big fish they could catch.

This was something you decided at the very beginning of this simulation.

[The scene after the master was killed and the gates of Taiyuan Palace were broken open.]

Since it cannot be spoken, cannot be thought.

【Then go ahead and give it a shot. You have plenty of cards to play and backup plans right now.】

Let's see who's dirtier!

Xu Kun sensed your resolve, and the surging, unyielding emotions beneath your composed face.

[I will not continue to persuade them.]

[It even took a complete 180-degree turn, with the protagonist beginning to imagine entering the central courtyard and setting foot in the capital.]

What an amazing storm you will unleash!

[In the vast, yellow deserts of the Western Regions, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky.]

The cessation of war made the usually harsh weather seem pleasant to all the kingdoms of the Western Regions.

The matter of peace negotiations.

[With your consent and the Western Regions' utterly unscrupulous concessions.]

The progress is going very smoothly.

Wei Qi was in charge of peace negotiations on the Yongzhou side.

[They're making an outrageous demand on our very first discussion.]

Be prepared to ask for an exorbitant price, then negotiate a lower one.

Surprisingly, the Western Regions agreed without hesitation.

[Immediately order people to prepare.]

[This refers to Wei Qi, who hails from the most prestigious family in Da Cang and is the future head of the Wei family.]

They were all stunned and paused for a moment.

He hadn't realized that he had seriously underestimated the legacy left by the late emperor.

Fortunately, you're used to making sure you have more than one, two, three, four... backup plans.

[In this situation, it's time for the second-generation Pang Hai to make his grand entrance, laughing heartily.]

[A reckless attitude, a street thug's tone.]

[To be frank: It costs more.]

The Western Regions official in charge of peace negotiations was furious and relayed the situation.

[Without Yin Qian even asking, Jiang Bofu answered directly.]

[Seeing this situation.]

You all understand the Western Regions' attitude now.

They gave you everything they could, as long as you asked.

At this point, Wei Qi's vision is needed.

He brought up everything he had seen, heard, and even guessed about in his mind.

Then the Western Regions readily agreed.

The second-generation Pang Hai's once-bold smile froze slightly at this sight.

[In the last simulation, you and your brothers stormed the imperial city, accidentally trespassing into the imperial palace.]

This is in the purely literal sense.

And at this moment...

This leads to a deeper understanding of the terrifying nature of an everlasting dynasty.

The legacy left by the late emperor to his descendants is truly astonishing.

The Great Cang royal family is utterly unfathomable.

The second-generation leader, Pang Hai, continued to raise the price.

Wei Qi pondered deeply.

In the end, Wei Qi was at his wit's end; all the rare treasures, heaven-rank martial arts techniques, and miraculous elixirs he could think of...

He already brought it up.

The second-generation leader, Pang Hai, proposed a higher price, which the Western Regions agreed to.

But his horizons had truly dried up.

Ultimately, it ended in yet another meeting where one side set a price and then compromised on the other.

Wei Qi, Pang Hai, and someone else return to the East Mansion where you are staying.

"Mr. Wen, I've done my best."

[A rare look of helplessness appeared on Wei Qi's usually cold and hard face.]

[As the heir of the foremost family in Da Cang.]

[I actually felt a sense of powerlessness regarding 'wealth'.]

In the past, he would have found it laughable.

[You don't have any concrete suggestions on this, after all, Wei Qi is already the best you can do.]

You look at the chubby black cat.

[Xu Kun, this extraterrestrial demon, sealed the Tomb of the Immortal Soldier before the Human Emperor established the Great Cang Dynasty.]

[They definitely have a broad perspective.]

Unfortunately, she has almost lost her memory and is now too lazy to even use her brain; all she does is meow.

As you ponder, two figures suddenly appear in your mind.

[My master is an ancient and unparalleled master, wielding the power of thunder.]

[Your knowledge and experience are certainly considerable.]

But based on your understanding of him, he was more of a figure of high status and profound understanding, looking down upon humanity.

[If we discuss the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, the mysteries of the heavens, and the way of thunder magic.]

He can offer countless insights and perspectives.

But regarding the world's most precious and rare treasures...

Just look at his unkempt appearance; you can tell he's not the type to be greedy for material things.

Finally, you found the perfect person to ask for your help.

[The current sect leader of the Holy Sect.]

[Your senior, who's obsessed with taboo research.]

[On extensive knowledge.]

Those who do research naturally understand it best.

[You contacted Yu Ji through the Holy Sect's contact channels and raised your question.]

[After a long wait, I finally received a reply.]

[You lightly touch the token of the Holy Sect's Executive Vice Sect Master.]

Yu Ji's reply appeared in the void in the form of a magical talisman.

In an instant.

The faint glow of talismans filled the entire magnificent hall.
