Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Outside Xiangyang City, the fierce fighting ceased, and everyone was stunned by the abrupt change in the celestial phenomena.

Looking up at that figure, both dark and white.

Gong Si's striking, oil painting-like face delivers a direct and vibrant visual impact; her expressive eyes seem to distort and distort the very space around her.

She lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on you, protected by the array and military formation.

[His injuries were severe and mangled; he was barely breathing.]

Yet they are still alive.

[Even with the combined efforts of two Celestial Beings, they failed against a mere Fourth Realm Innate cultivator.]

[Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't even be able to sense their presence, let alone resist them, until the power of the celestial beings descends.]

[Dying in endless confusion.]

Not only did you foresee the crisis and retreat in advance, but you also briefly resisted, buying yourself a fleeting chance to survive.

[And then there's that "disorder field" that's almost a perfect replica of mine...]

Gong Si's eyes were filled with suspicion. Even among those who had all comprehended this demonic art, the unique qualities they possessed still differed.

But your force field is completely identical to hers.

Compared to that, the swordplay of the Yongzhou Sword Palace no longer seemed surprising.

【"interesting…… "】

Gong Si chuckled softly, glancing sideways at Pei Qingyu.

[Teasingly mocking: "Where's your attack? It's completely ineffective!"]

[While she spoke sarcastically, she was inwardly confused and doubtful.]

[The fact that one's own "disordered force field" was momentarily resisted by the same force field and sword aura was purely due to a huge difference in information.]

What about Pei Qingyu?

Don't be fooled by this woman's seemingly compassionate sighs before she strikes; she's ruthless and far more decisive than I am.

Even if one were to face that sword-heart attack personally, one would need to be fully prepared.

The result was like a gentle breeze across a lake, creating no ripples whatsoever.

Pei Qingyu was even more astonished than Gong Si, and even felt bewildered.

[While there is some debate about the strongest swordsmanship in the world, there is also the most difficult sword attack to defend against.]

[Therefore, no one questions the swordsmanship of the Jingxin Sword Sect.]

Because its attack lacked sword force, sword energy, sword momentum, sword intent, and sword rhythm...

Only the sword's heart strikes directly at the human heart; it is a mysterious and powerful sword that annihilates consciousness and perception.

[It can completely erase a person's consciousness, leaving only a shell and a soul; seemingly alive, yet empty and lifeless.]

This is the sword spirit that Jingxin Jianzhai comprehends through the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

Despite its high entry barriers, difficult cultivation, and numerous restrictions and risks, it remains one of the four great holy lands for sword cultivation in the world.

Pei Qingyu's clear, bright eyes gazed at you as you were escorted away by the powerful figures of Xiangyang City.

[A rare glimpse of emotion in the color.]

Why did my sword heart attack fail?

This person is shrouded in mystery and unknowns.

This is no longer a matter of the siege of Xiangyang, the survival of the Chu state, or the political landscape of Jiangnan.

Your bizarre existence has shaken the very foundations of the Jingxin Sword Sect's long history, and there are even signs that it is about to be uprooted.

If the method of Sword Heart is resisted from spreading, then the sword cultivators of the Tranquil Sword Sect, who have risked their lives to cultivate the Sword Heart, will render it useless.

[The Tranquil Sword Cultivation Hall, one of the four great holy sites of sword cultivation in the world, will fall from its high platform and be swept into the dust of history.]

Gong Si's mind is unpredictable; she quickly deduced much from Pei Qingyu's behavior and has also become interested in you.

[Anyway, she would definitely stop Pei Qingyu from doing anything she wanted to do.]

Seeing her upset makes me happy inside.

Pei Qingyu sensed something, her cold gaze scrutinizing them as if issuing a subtle warning, before disappearing from their sight.

Just as when she appeared, no one knows how she left.

Gong Si was like a drop of thick ink, spreading and permeating the world.

[Wenhou Mansion. 】

Thanks to the treatment of renowned doctors and elixirs, your terrible injuries have stabilized.

With rest and recuperation, he will recover in no time.

[Everyone has left so you can rest and recuperate.]

[You are viewing the talent description for "Succubus Body".]

[The noble application of the law can change the fate of humanity, but the prerequisite is upholding unwavering faith and gaining the absolute loyalty of like-minded individuals during the execution process.]

Previously, you used this talent attribute for the development of your intelligence agency.

[Ensure that all dispatched spies, agents, and defectors are absolutely loyal.]

Unexpectedly, another special effect of the "Succubus Body" was discovered during testing today.

That is 'will,' or you could say, the human heart.

The prerequisite for a talent attribute is unwavering conviction, which wins people's hearts.

On the contrary, because people's hearts are united, your beliefs will be unwavering and your will unshakable.

[Unless you abandon the beliefs you've established.]

Therefore, this talent attribute actually has a feedback mechanism.

Therefore, Pei Qingyu's sword intent, which previously erased human consciousness, was directly ignored by her unwavering will.

"It's truly a strange twist of fate, a series of unexpected events."

You can't help but sigh.

If Pei Qingyu and Gong Si were to attack you casually, the attack would be a fatal blow, one that would bring you utter destruction.

[Coincidentally, she was overly "cautious" and directly used her swordsmanship.]

Then he ran into the "Succubus Body," and not only did he fail, but the "Succubus Body" also re-evaluated him.

[It allows you to win him over.]

Of course, this is all predicated on you having the opportunity to say those words to her.

Pei Qingyu's overly cautious nature makes you hesitant to take risks.

[It's highly likely that it will be bombarded with various attacks as soon as it appears.]

[He was struck by eight hundred swords in a second.]

The sudden appearance of Gong Si and Pei Qingyu brought a brief respite to the brutal battle for survival in Xiangyang City for one night.

The soldiers and officers who had fought fiercely for over a month were given a chance to catch their breath.

With the help of elixirs and precious medicinal herbs, you quickly regained your mobility and rose to go to the city wall.

"Lord Wen, why don't you rest a little longer? I can keep watch here."

Bai Guanting bowed respectfully, his eyes filled with admiration.

The sight of you escaping from the grasp of two celestial beings today left all who witnessed it in awe.

"It's alright, you're well aware of the regenerative abilities of those with innate constitutions."

You shook your head and looked at the surrounding night watchmen: "Let everyone rest. I'll keep watch."

Bai Guanting had no objection. He had witnessed your precognitive abilities during the battle and signaled the soldiers on guard to rest on the spot.

[A moment later, the sound of snoring filled the air.]

They were exhausted. The relentless, day-and-night battles, the sheer brutality of which nearly drove them to the brink of collapse.

[I haven't had a proper rest at all.]

Even a martial artist with a strong physique and abundant energy cannot withstand it.

After all, even you can sense that your innate physique is being damaged in constant battles.

[And what about the soldiers of the first three realms who lack strong regenerative abilities?]

[In the darkest hour before dawn, the army besieged the city once more.]

[You had foresight; the soldiers awaken and prepare for battle.]

[City defense formations, magical cannons, rune-powered crossbows, and talismans such as the Raging Flames, Rolling Stones, and Sandstorms... all war equipment and supplies are in place.]

[The military formation coalesced, soaring straight into the sky.]

Be on high alert.

Suddenly, a brilliant, pale streak of light burst forth from the dark sky, slicing through the heavens.

Like the first ray of light piercing the dawn, it sent a chilling, piercing cold through all who witnessed it.
