Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Snow fell heavily, shrouded in mist.

Your figure, clad in flowing black robes, stands serenely amidst the mountains.

[Her fingertips twirled a strand of scarlet hair.]

His gaze was deep and complex.

The redhead I've been longing for has finally returned.

That familiar ominous state has begun again.

[You weren't too surprised, after all, it's only a single red hair so far.]

There are still many years before we reach the age where we can "hear the Way in the morning and die content in the evening."

[It seems that any enhancement to your current level of understanding would have a negligible effect, offering only a slight improvement...]

【Um? 】

The mystery of tranquility, so this is it.

Suddenly, you recall the words your senior brother had previously boasted about to you.

[On the first day of instruction, we learn to cultivate inner peace.]

[Suddenly feeling the profound stillness of mind, penetrating the deepest truths, reciting the sounds of the Tao, reaching a state of sudden enlightenment.]

[What you originally considered words of 'showing off,' 'bragging,' and 'proudness' were actually...]

[At this moment, the clouds part, and the true meaning is revealed.]

[Understand the profound meaning of tranquility.]

A heart stained like a clear mirror, a sword suspended above a dark mirror lake.

[A faint, mystical light shimmered over it.]

It gives people a sense of clarity, purity, and refined elegance.

[But what it revealed was billowing black smoke.]

[Contradictory and unpredictable.]

Oh dear...

[No, it's just a single red hair, how could it suddenly lead to enlightenment about the profound meaning of meditation?]

[There should at least be a tuft of red hair by now.]

[That's why your comprehension will be significantly enhanced, right?]

Even if you're mediocre, you can't be this mediocre, can you?

[After all, I worked hard and relied entirely on my own efforts to reach the fifth realm.]

You must have underestimated the power of "inauspicious old age".

That must be so.

This is none of your business.

【"Meow!"】

A black cat, its head buried in the snow, trembles with fear at the memory of its surroundings.

[The chubby butt suddenly wiggled.]

It detected a familiar, filthy aura.

That was during my elder brother's last reincarnation, when he relied on his innate realm to fight his way through the void and break through the celestial barrier.

[The ominous mystery of a chaotic world.]

[The black cat Xu Kun raised its head, its eerie green eyes widening.]

[Looking at your expression, lost in self-doubt.]

[Her dark robe fluttered in the wind, and she twirled a strand of red hair.]

[A look of shame, anger, and stubbornness.]

To the black cat, it was something profoundly mysterious, shrouded in secrecy, and impossible to fathom.

They're back! They're all back!

The familiar red-haired monster is about to descend upon the human world.

This feeling is just amazing!!!

The black cat was filled with excitement and anticipation, a long-lost, wickedly charming smile playing on its lips.

[Instantly forgetting how terrified he was just moments before.]

[What terrifying aura emanating from my memory?]

Compared to the ominous red hair of the eldest brother, everything else pales in comparison!

[It's utterly bland and tasteless.]

The black cat's nose wrinkled, and it took a deep breath.

That faint, ominous aura made it instinctively feel dirty and resist.

[At the same time, it brings a sense of security and an indescribable pleasure.]

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, can finally rest easy.

You suppress your resentment and believe that your enlightenment is evident.

[This is all due to the power of the forbidden talent attribute "Ominous Later Years".]

It's not because your basic level of comprehension is too low.

After stubbornly comforting himself,

[Looking down at the black cat, whose appearance was now somewhat grotesque.]

[He kicked it away in disgust.]

"Damn, can inner demons go into heat too?"

The black cat didn't care at all and scrambled back.

[Smiling ingratiatingly at you.]

[I'm wondering why you seem a little unhappy.]

You put down the red hair in your hand.

[A burst of insightful wisdom welled up in my mind, and a subtle expression of enjoyment appeared on my face.]

[At the same time, he was secretly astonished.]

[The eldest disciple's first day of training.]

[The mystery of tranquility, the profound knowledge of the ultimate truth, the chanting of the Dao, the state of sudden enlightenment.]

Of the four realms, you have only grasped the first one so far.

The remaining three are still within the realm of the senior brother's "bragging" interpretation.

[Based on the previous simulation, you are in the ultimate form of the red-haired old monster before your death.]

[This highlights the senior brother's talent.]

I can't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

[Regarding your understanding of the pure path of tranquility, are you willing to give your senior brother a top-tier level?]

[If the path of cultivation were not limited by unknown entities.]

[Based solely on his expertise in the art of meditation.]

[Perhaps he will become the next seasoned Taoist priest.]

The difference is that the old Taoist priest wields the power of thunder, while the senior disciple possesses the profound wisdom of tranquility.

[Tranquility cannot compare to Lei Quan's domineering and unparalleled power.]

[But that's enough to allow the Celestial Master's Mansion and Xuanzheng to stand in the mortal realm for another three hundred years.]

[The eldest disciple possesses such terrifying comprehension.]

The second and third senior brothers were also restricted in their cultivation path.

[It will certainly not be inferior.]

[If the three senior brothers have fully matured.]

[Three unparalleled masters in one generation.]

[It's terrifying to even think about.]

No wonder an unknown entity intervened, making moves in the mortal realm to plan the cultivation paths of the three.

[Just to disable them.]

This reason is sufficient.

"What a pity."

[Your mind involuntarily conjures up images of fantasy.]

[These three are the most outstanding members of the new generation. Once you awaken your extraordinary wisdom, you too will be able to ascend to their level.]

[Plus, there's the old Taoist priest, a seasoned master among men.]

[The true coexistence of the five peaks.]

What a magnificent sight!

[I'm afraid that each of you five, master and disciples, could carve out your own path, establish your own sect, and recreate past glories, even making the Dao Ancestor step aside...]

"Ouch, why did you bite me?"

You suddenly feel a sharp pain in your ankle, as if a black cat has opened its mouth and bitten you.

[The black cat, Xu Kun, refused to utter a sound.]

[His eyes pointed towards the ancestral hall of the Celestial Master's Mansion and the main hall where the Dao Ancestor was enshrined.]

A halo of light emanated from the sky, vast and boundless.

In that instant, you felt as if countless gazes, like cold blades, were piercing you.

[He immediately abandoned his grand plans.]

[Muttering to himself.]

You are the most loyal follower of the Dao Ancestor, the most steadfast defender of the Daoist temple, and the most humble Daoist disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion...

[What do you mean by opening a separate page, recreating glory, and the Dao Ancestor moving to a new position?]

[It's all my fault for being tormented by inner demons.]

You kicked the black cat Xu Kun away, and in doing so, you also dumped the pot on it.

Only then did you notice the fear and trepidation in your gaze as you looked towards the ancestral hall and the main hall containing the statue of the Dao Ancestor.

They've really gotten carried away.

[It's just a single red hair.]

We still have to keep hiding.

[You are aware of your current physical condition.]

The appearance of red hair signifies that your physical condition is deteriorating.

[The rebellious bone has developed a periosteum, covering the ribs and thoracic cavity like a bony shield.]

[Scapular hyperplasia gradually covers your back.]

[The earliest appearance of spinal reversal.]

[It presents a ferocious, domineering, chaotic, and indescribable form.]

[The bizarre and mysterious nature of defying fate.]

[The distorted, materialized runes were engraved on the severed spine.]

[You guess when you'll be able to decipher those talismans.]

[This will allow you to truly understand how to apply the principles of rebellion.]
