Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

【Boom! 】

The sound of memorial tablets clattering against the wooden table rang out.

The ancestral hall, solemn and dignified, was shrouded in a seemingly frozen atmosphere, with wisps of incense smoke rising from it.

[After the path of forgetting disappears.]

Inside the bronze cauldron, the three incense sticks, which had burned endlessly, began to emit black smoke again.

[This creates a dappled, varied play of light and shadow.]

[Ancestral tablets surround the murderer.]

The sword's cry, imbued with the mystery of killing, lingered and rippled, growing ever more intense.

[The venerable ancestors moved their memorial tablets, seemingly to consult with Elder Zhang Xunzhi and seek his opinion.]

[The ancestor of Zhang Xun, who was always very brave.]

The memorial tablet was lightly protruding, gazing at the master of murder whom it had studied for many years.

Ultimately, they didn't intervene to suppress it.

Because he sensed it.

[It is that unfortunate junior of the sect who resonates with the master of murder.]

Oh well... let him be...

[The ancestral tablet of Zhang Xunzhi moved, then returned to its original position, falling silent and somber.]

[The divine knowledge that had descended to the mortal realm has been completely withdrawn.]

Let go when it's time to let go; there's no need to force it.

The remaining ancestral tablets seem to be under consideration.

This is not merely a matter of the value of killing one's master; it involves the larger, underlying situation.

[A move is made high in the sky, illuminating the overall situation.]

Those who obstruct will die by their fate.

[The reason he was imprisoned in the Celestial Master's Mansion for killing his master is...]

Their choice at this moment will determine the consequences.

[Zhang Xunzhi's ancestor did not intervene to suppress the killing of his master.]

To some extent, this is a form of indirect assistance to you.

Ultimately, the venerable ancestors were caught up in a moment of weighing their options and making their choices.

The clang of the sword as it slew its master resounded, its cry echoing powerfully.

[It rose into the air, soaring across the sky from the ancestral hall, and pierced through the imperial capital in the central courtyard.]

At this moment, the ancestors seemed to finally realize what was happening.

The inscription on the memorial tablet outlines a grand and mysterious secret, but it's too late to stop it.

[We could only helplessly watch our master leave.]

[Then it returned to its original position, and its divine knowledge was withdrawn as well.]

[The good show has come to an end.]

[Perform for the world to enjoy.]

[The Central Courtyard, the Imperial Capital, the Imperial City of Taiyuan.]

You are sinking into endless darkness, surrounded by a viscous, nauseating sound.

Strange hands kept reaching out to touch and grope you.

[Sword Two, entangled in crimson and black lightning, concealing a deadly secret, was annihilated.]

[The progress bar for introspection.]

[Regarding the Tomb of the Military God, the eighth relief, which conveys the insights of "the destruction of a nation," is nearing completion.]

[Initially, it was limited by my cultivation level, realm, perspective, and the dimension I inhabited.]

Even with the power of the Broken Mirror Eyes, I still only remembered half of the "destruction of the kingdom."

[Endless wisdom, already accelerating the deduction.]

[When the visual progress bar reaches its end.]

[Vast and profound, rules and principles not belonging to the human realm, form a clear and mysterious form in your mind.]

[Half of the content about "national annihilation" that was etched in your mind has finally been understood by you.]

[The country was destroyed.]

Based on the novel *Premonition of the Enemy*, it reveals the true nature of life and death in all things.

[**Swift Victory, Annihilation of the Enemy, and Non-Aggression:** This principle governs combat and warfare.]

[The strategies of "Military Deception," "Strategic Planning," and "The Way of Conquest" – strategies for controlling the situation.]

Ultimately, the power of "annihilation of a nation" was achieved.

Although you have only grasped half of the meaning and have not fully mastered the power of "annihilation of a nation."

But you're not going to destroy the Great Azure City by your own power alone.

[They merely intend to rely on the immense power of "national annihilation" to conquer Taiyuan.]

[This should be sufficient to complete the task.]

[When pondering the profound mysteries of "national annihilation" in one's mind.]

[You sense the Killer Lord of the distant Southern Azure.]

[A far more intense resonance was generated than when the Eyes of Shattered Mirrors evolved into the Eyes of Killing.]

The Lord is calling you.

[A wait that has lasted since ancient times.]

I can't wait to be back in your hands.

[You respond to its resonant call, and then you realize it.]

One, two, three...

[The many divine beings who descended from the heavens to the mortal realm fell upon the slayer.]

You understand, those are the ancestors of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

[Continue to summon the master to kill, while observing the reactions of the elders.]

If they intervene, there's really nothing you can do.

【final.】

[Zhang Xunzhi's ancestor chose to "part ways" with his master who was about to kill him.]

The other elders, however, did not act as openly as he did, going against the overall situation.

[A grand spectacle unfolded.]

[Especially that last reaction, caused by hesitation, which prevented them from stopping him in time.]

[He's a true veteran actor.]

A slight smile played on your lips, and you silently thanked them in your heart.

[This time, I became an apprentice of the Celestial Master's Mansion.]

This is perhaps the most compassionate treatment this ghostly world has given you.

[Whether they are old masters, senior disciples, juniors, or even ancestors.]

[Regarding your unorthodox disciple.]

[Not only was he not expelled from the sect, but he also protected and tolerated them in every way.]

[The old Taoist priest ascended to the heavens to delay your calamity and imprison you in the ancestral temple.]

[The efforts of the venerable ancestors behind the scenes were undoubtedly not uncommon.]

[Protecting your peace and security for years.]

You believe that if you are willing to honestly admit your mistakes...

Perhaps we can find a way out through our connections with our ancestors.

【pity……】

Your inexplicable stubbornness.

Even the old Taoist priest, my senior brother, and our ancestors couldn't understand it.

But what remains consistent is...

They will all do their utmost to protect you.

"If there is an afterlife, I will still be a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion..."

When emotions run deep, you can't help but want to offer a grateful promise.

But in the end, he put the idea aside.

[Forget it, we've already caused the Celestial Master's Mansion such a huge loss this time, let's let them off the hook next time.]

Most importantly, it's because you've already sent the old Taoist priest away.

[They could easily keep their relationship hidden and maintain a clandestine master-disciple dynamic.]

Wouldn't that give us more options later?

[Sing!]

The sword's cry, a slaying melody, echoes throughout the mortal realm, causing all beings to feel the chilling presence of death, hanging over their very souls.

[A longsword with an ancient and dignified design, its bronze surface bearing the marks of time.]

[Tracing a path that 'killed' everything, it plummeted towards the imperial capital in the central courtyard.]

"Meow!!! The Great Sword That Kills Its Master!!!!"

[Xu Kun, the black cat, sits atop a high wall, watching the show with amusement.]

[Sensing the arrival of its master, it immediately reacted and bristled.]

[His eerie green eyes widened, his round face beamed with ecstasy, and he was unaware that his tongue was sticking out.]

[Witnessing the killing master 'erasure' spatial distance.]

[Arrived in the capital city of Gaotian.]

"Meow meow meow! We're here! Almost here! Come back to my embrace!!!"

[The black cat Xu Kun stands upright, its paws outstretched.]

[Prepare to welcome the slayer who will fall from the heavens and throw himself into their arms.]

Its tongue was crooked, its cat-like eyes were squinted, and its face was full of infatuation.

[I feel the distance between myself and the master of the killer is constantly closing.]

Time flies so fast, yet it feels so long.

[When the killer had already fallen to the height of the city wall.]

"Meow... I'm here..."

The inner demons, treacherous and mysterious, surge forth relentlessly, almost impossible to suppress.

[He grinned, letting out a long-absent, unrestrained laugh.]

"Hehehehe... Kill my precious master! Uh..."

[Xu Kun's laughter suddenly stopped.]

[He discovered that the mastermind had just brushed past him.]

[Plunging into that endless abyss of darkness.]

[His narrowed eyes widened, and he screamed as if he couldn't accept reality.]

【"No!!!!"】
