Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

You have stopped trying to understand "The Enemy's Premonition".

[The novel *Predicting the Enemy* initially relied on "persistence" to reach a practical level, briefly predicting the future.]

Today, we can truly dismantle, analyze, and gain insight.

[You tested Xu Kun; the martial arts intent of the Five Realms of Destiny Wheel, so perfectly round and unified, was full of flaws in your eyes.]

[The martial arts intent at the Destiny Wheel realm does not have flaws.]

Rather, it's the unpredictable and mysterious nature of "Predicting the Enemy" that transforms the mundane into the extraordinary, first anchoring the outcome and then setting the premises.

[You have a vague feeling that if you possess the complete legacy of the Tomb of the God of War, and then comprehend "Predicting the Enemy"]

[Perhaps possessing the terrifying power to see through an opponent's life or death, and to completely eliminate them at their root.]

Stop trying to understand "Predicting the Enemy"; you haven't wasted your current insight.

[Integration and deduction of one's own martial arts techniques.]

[His sword thrust has reached a level of unparalleled mastery.]

[Firefly Dance (Advanced), Serpent Fist (Advanced), Deep Cloud and Heavy Mist Palm (Advanced), Jade Fingers (Advanced), Misty Rain Sword Technique (Advanced).]

[Five advanced martial arts techniques, easily comprehended to perfection, and even deduced and created.]

[From high-level to top-level, then sublimated to the profound level.]

The "Contemplation Method of Yi Jian" also incorporates elements of the "Contemplation Method of Clear Mirror Unstained."

[It can be said that, aside from the limitations of physical talent, there are also major software updates and iterations.]

The only thing that's troubling you is...

[The "Ominous Later Years" talent attribute, a black taboo, is number 3.]

[Note 3: Techniques, martial arts, and secret arts that rely on "an ominous later life" to enhance comprehension will undergo "unexpected" changes.]

You didn't know what "unexpected" meant before, but now you've experienced it firsthand.

[Such as the most familiar movement techniques from "Fireflies Dance".]

Like fireflies, fleeting and elusive, adept at navigating chaos with breathtaking beauty.

[The comprehension gained from the "inauspicious old age" can be used for deduction and creation, reaching the Xuan rank afterward.]

When unleashed, it transforms into darkness itself, billowing black smoke, bizarre and unpredictable.

[Not just changes in appearance.]

The billowing black smoke carried a thick, ominous aura, inspiring fear in those who beheld it.

The same applies to other martial arts.

[The power of the Kan Snake Fist (Mysterious Rank): The essence of the fist power is like a surging black python, thick and ominous.]

【"Deep Clouds and Heavy Mist Palm" (Mystic Rank): The palm strike transforms into billowing black mist, thick and ominous.】

【"Folding Jade Fingers" (Mysterious Steps): The fingertips are like warm, smooth black jade, capable of breaking jade and severing gold; a profound and ominous presence.】

【"Misty Rain Sword Technique" (Mysterious Rank): The sword energy is as fleeting as black mist, and the ink-like rain pours down, thick and ominous.】

The originally beautiful and graceful art style has become eerie and ominous.

However, the actual increase in power is enormous.

[A Xuan-rank martial art, amplified by an ominous aura, is even more terrifying than many Di-rank martial arts.]

At this point, if you still find it "unexpected," it's a positive sign.

[Until you comprehend the "Mirror of Immaculate Contemplation Method" and integrate the "Swordplay Contemplation Method" into it.]

[Looking inward, I saw a dark, still lake within my heart, undisturbed throughout history, eternally silent, with a sheathless, unguarded, and hiltless black jade sword standing in its center.]

[Your expression at the time: ???]

Is this truly a heart as clear as a mirror, unblemished by defilement? Or is it a heart as clear as a mirror, yet heavily polluted?

[You might even suspect that Xu Kun, that bastard, deliberately altered Xu Hui's original visualization techniques.]

When you released your inner thoughts to him, Xu Kun recoiled as if he'd seen a ghost, his pupils dilating in shock.

[You immediately realize what "unexpected" means; this is the epitome of "unexpected."]

As for the results, they made your complaints disappear, and you accepted reality.

The original, unblemished heart is like a pure, flawless lake, reflecting the sky, undisturbed and serene.

[Xu Hui was able to suppress the ninth layer of the brain's divine treasure using this, thus remaining in the mortal realm.]

Now you understand how he did it.

The three reliefs, "Strategic Planning" and "Conquering the Way," imbued him with an absolutely rational and calm mind.

[Thus, by utilizing the clear and untainted lake of the mind to reflect the heavens, the ninth divine treasure of the brain is projected onto the heavens, thereby deceiving the rules of heaven and earth.]

Simply put, it's about projecting your brain onto the celestial dome.

[To create the illusion that the 'brain' has ascended to heaven while the body remains on earth.]

You can't help but admire his ingenuity and boldness.

[And your inky heart is pure ominousness; if anyone dares to launch a mental attack against you...]

Then you can only hope the other person has good luck.

It got stuck, but it's very sticky and hard to shake off, and it still smells after washing.

During this time, you also inquired with Empress Wei.

Why has the Immortal Sect, having received a letter from a distinguished person, been so audacious as to delay in replying?

[As a citizen of Da Cang, you are truly indignant and have personally requested Han Jing to send troops to raze the Immortal Sect to the ground.]

Empress Wei remained silent for a moment, and you seemed to receive a disapproving glare.

Then he replied with only one word.

【"wait."】

[Fifty-seventh year, seventy-three years old.]

Empress Wei's single word "wait" made Xu Kun wait another year.

The powerful clans of Da Cang Zhongting were also slaughtered until they knelt and begged for mercy. You and Lü Zhen slowed down your advance.

Because what follows will be the final chapter of your deadly scheme.

This was also a path that Lü Zhen was willing to risk his life to explore.

[The Prime Minister's Residence.]

In the dimly lit room, a long table sits in the center, with figures standing on either side.

Lu Zhen sat at the head of the table, eyes lowered in silence, as did the others.

[A moment later, the shadow beside the long table shifted, revealing a figure in a dark blue robe.]

You look around at everyone present, and a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or nostalgia) wells up inside you.

The room was filled with elderly people, their clothes worn and tattered in the twilight, yet their cloudy eyes still held a last glimmer of light.

These are the like-minded people you sought after, after you reaffirmed your firm beliefs in your "succubus form."

Some held high-ranking positions in the cabinet, while others were minor officials of the ninth rank; some were senior professors at the Imperial Academy, while others were distinguished members of the Hanlin Academy; some were retired military veterans, while others were Confucian scholars, and still others were elders from prominent families…

Their backgrounds, official positions, and social status all differed.

The only thing they have in common is their shared beliefs.

"Gentlemen, once you enter this gate, there is no turning back."

Your voice broke the silence in the room.

"Haha, Mr. Wen, after retiring from the army, I saw the world in chaos and dreamt of the battlefield every night. My hair turned white, and I thought I would only have regrets for the rest of my life."

The rugged old man with a scar on his face laughed heartily; his eyes, like those of a sick tiger, still held a lingering menace.

"Ever since I learned of Mr. Wen's plot with Prime Minister Lü, I have been waiting for this moment."

You look up and meet a sea of ​​cloudy eyes, but that one light shines with unwavering determination.

[He chuckled softly.]

"In that case, there's no need to utter such affected words."

"Gentlemen."

【"On Huangquan Road."】

"The narrative never ends."
