Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[Second Senior Brother, Jade Void, with his six-zhang-tall golden body gleaming like crystal, brought his fist down.]

After a deafening thud, a paradoxical silence fell over the world.

The space rippled like water under the crushing force.

[Snap! Snap!]

The crisp sound was like jade shattering.

[Numerous dark, void-like spatial cracks, centered on the point where the golden body struck, meandered and spread.]

In an instant, this area of ​​the imperial capital's city walls...

[Completely shattered.]

If the mirror falls to the ground, it will create a bizarre and fantastical scene.

The terrifying force unleashed its fury, the aftershocks destroying everything in their path, even annihilating space itself.

The turbulent currents roared, sweeping away all destruction.

The protection afforded by the Emperor's rules was severely shaken.

【Om! 】

[A dazzling light bursts forth, revealing the defensive formations that have stood for millennia in the imperial capital.]

[A myriad of talismans intertwined and arrayed in the sky.]

[To withstand this punch that shatters the void.]

You are amazed by the sheer power of your second senior brother's brute strength—pure, yet terrifying.

No wonder even the soul cannot bear it, and it remains asleep all day.

The fact that the second senior brother's backup plan could still be activated is already an unexpected surprise.

[It makes you start to look forward to it.]

[Whispering to herself: "Third Senior Brother, is Third Senior Brother there?"]

[This third senior brother was never met in person; they only communicated through the old Taoist priest.]

Similarly, he told you to call for him if you were in danger.

He will appear anytime, anywhere.

【However……】

No response was received.

Both the eldest and third senior brothers said they would appear when summoned.

As it turned out, only the most honest and simple-minded second brother lit your three incense sticks, thus making them effective.

It seems that the second senior brother is still the most reliable.

Thoughts flashed by in an instant.

The process of the blacked-out entry being erased has been removed.

You have already crossed the city walls and are looking down upon the prosperous and thriving capital.

[Just before breaking in.]

The flowing sunlight, like shimmering water, is vast and clear, separating heaven and earth.

Your figure, clad in a flowing black robe, appeared before the screen of light in an incomprehensible way.

[Turning back to look at the three Confucian scholars.]

The black text marked "已" signifies the end of a process.

[Now that you cannot teleport, and burdened by the threat of death, you dare not use magical artifacts or talismans.]

Therefore, physical barriers can still hinder your progress.

"Heh... Your movement techniques are indeed mysterious and unpredictable; even I cannot fathom them..."

A dignified and solemn middle-aged man with a weathered face gave a cool, stern laugh.

"However, as long as you haven't reached the Void Breaking stage and don't possess the true means to manipulate space, you can still be blocked."

Your expression is serene.

[Looking towards the man in the middle.]

You have either met the other two or sensed their aura.

Therefore, it's not difficult to guess the identity of this middle-aged man.

[A great Confucian scholar of the Imperial Academy.]

[You're not surprised that your method of ending a move using the blacked-out word "already" was exposed.]

Those who can ascend to the celestial realm are all exceptionally talented and possess extraordinary intelligence.

[Especially for Confucian scholars.]

[Investigate things to gain knowledge, and understand their true nature.]

[Based on your rank and cultivation level, the appropriate response has been determined.]

"Junior brother..."

[A booming voice echoed as the golden, crystal-clear body shattered the void, transforming into a golden stream of light as it arrived.]

A purely brute-force method of movement.

[A powerful, destructive force.]

He suddenly raised his fist and slammed it towards the three Confucian scholars.

[Faced with the golden, gleaming body, an overwhelming and unruly force.]

The three great Confucian scholars dared not confront him directly and all avoided his sharp edge.

[Second Brother Pigsy will hold you back.]

The three incense sticks he was biting burned faster with each move his second senior brother made.

[Your dark hand is pressed against the light curtain that separates heaven and earth.]

[Disrespectful and upside down!]

Your eyes held a fierce glint, your teeth clenched, and you endured the soul-piercing pain brought on by your rebellious spirit.

[The light barrier, which had been blocked by the three great Confucian scholars, was broken open.]

The three old monsters of the Great Azure Royal Family tried to stop them.

Wei Zhiyu's hand emerged from his wide sleeve, the gilded ritual implement on his wrist swaying.

[A friendly reminder!]

A melodious sound rang out, and black mist billowed out.

[At the same time, the fate of a beautiful woman as a source of trouble also holds secrets that may bring chaos and calamity.]

An ominous crimson light filled the sky, bathing the world in its crimson glow.

[Yin Chu and his two companions felt themselves being entangled by something dirty.]

[An immediate, instinctive, and fearful attempt to block.]

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, stretching out endlessly.

Your gaze was fixed on the magnificent halls of the imperial palace.

[I felt unusually calm.]

[Joyful, having overcome numerous perilous obstacles, was about to receive the protection of imperial power.]

Because the road ahead is unknown.

Can the Xuanwu Emperor protect you? Will he protect you?

【do not know. 】

But it can't stop now.

Even if it's a trap, you have to step into it.

[Splash!]

The roar of the raging sea forcefully halts your progress.

[Witnessing the sword light rushing in like the waters of the Eastern Sea flowing backwards.]

[Covering the entire sky.]

Amidst the towering waves, a tall, slender figure stood suspended.

A long, azure robe, like a vast ocean gathering around her, rippled and billowed.

The young man was handsome, with sickly pale skin and long, flowing black hair.

[Eyes closed.]

[A pale hand holding a sword points, drawing forth a sword light as vast as the East Sea.]

You glared at me coldly.

[The Lord of Dongyi Jian Ge.]

[The last simulation was the battle between the immortal sects.]

Yin Chu invited him here.

[At that time, it had already transcended the void, its sword aura brooking no mortal sway.]

[It was as if the entire East China Sea had been condensed in his hand, and he was crushing it down with overwhelming force.]

[Without a doubt.]

[This is, so far, the strongest individual fighter in the opposing team.]

[I suspect it's similar to that of my beloved senior sister and Qi Xuan of the Yongzhou Sword Palace.]

[Seeking the truth in the unknown.]

Qi Xuan relinquished his status and swordsmanship, transforming himself into a white jade sword as an apology to you.

[My dear senior sister is researching taboos; I wonder what indescribable situation she's gotten herself into.]

[The Lord of Dongyi Jian Ge.]

The feeling I get right now is like an illusion.

The sword light before us seemed to stretch across the eastern sea from afar.

[The light curtain of the three great Confucian scholars is reversed, causing their rebellious nature to grow and their lifespans to be eroded.]

More scarlet has appeared in your hair.

[A flash of extraordinary insight allows you to instantly understand many past mysteries, connect and analyze them, and dissect the other party's situation.]

The current form of the Dongyi Pavilion Master bears a resemblance to the eighth realm of the Dao Mansion system.

The eighth realm of the Dao Mansion is the stage of attaining the Dao.

The Lord of Dongyi Pavilion, in order to remain in the mortal realm, also desires to ascend to the Eight Realms.

We can only resort to other methods.

[To unite oneself with the Dao in the East Sea!]

With your current thinking ability, you can only analyze things in a split second.

[A helpless sigh escapes my lips.]

Goodness, these beings who have reached the pinnacle of humanity each possess their own unique and dazzling skills.

You silently memorized it.

This has also given you a lot of inspiration.

[To attain the Dao?]

It seems you can operate it now.
