I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mu felt a chill run down his spine:

"Why do you say that, senior?"

Old Deng's voice rang out again: "I'm just sending you a telepathic message: stay here."

"I didn't say you wouldn't die if you stayed!"

"But you don't seem to think you're going to die at all."

"Although the little girl next to you isn't very strong, she's definitely capable of protecting you."

"She was just putting on an act."

Yang Mu looked around, but even using the binaural effect, he still couldn't determine where the sound was coming from.

"You're overthinking it, senior!"

"Hehe!" Old Deng chuckled twice.

These two sounds immediately sent chills down Yang Mu's spine and gave him goosebumps all over his body.

To steer the narrative back to the script, Yang Mu immediately asked, "Why did you choose me, senior?"

"Only you, with your five spiritual roots, survived!" Old Deng's voice sounded rather helpless.

Yang Mu immediately followed up with, "Why did you choose five spiritual roots, senior?"

"Five spiritual roots are useless spiritual roots, making cultivation extremely difficult."

Old Deng was clearly taken aback, then burst into laughter: "That's what I was just saying, why is it that your five spiritual roots, which are only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, are the highest-level five spiritual roots cultivators in the secret realm?"

Yang Mu was stunned: How did this old man know his true cultivation level?

In a short while, Yang Mu understood.

It must have been when he was in the library that he dripped a drop of his own blood.

That's when the old man saw through his true cultivation level.

"Consider yourself lucky, kid!"

Old Deng laughed:

"The legacy of my Heavenly Sword Sect is perfectly suited for cultivators with five spiritual roots."

"Given time, you will definitely become someone that all cultivators of this era look up to."

Yang Mu sneered inwardly: Is it you or me?

In order to stay on track with the script, Yang Mu asked again:

"Senior, since the legacy is here, why do you still allow those below to continue fighting each other?"

"I'm not doing this for your own good!"

Old Deng's voice continued:

"You, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, do you think you can survive against them without them fighting each other?"

Only when the script reaches this point do you finally feel like you're back on track.

Then you continue to deal with the old man as simulated.

Just like in the simulation, Lao Deng recounted some of the past events of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Yang Mu naturally had no interest in listening to this old man's nonsense.

Once he had devoured Old Deng's consciousness, wouldn't he know everything?

He even said he was asking Old Deng for information!

It's completely unnecessary.

After Lao Deng enthusiastically boasted about how powerful the Heavenly Sword Sect had once been, he urged Yang Mu to come up and receive the inheritance.

This time, Yang Mu was not pretentious at all, showed no fear, and even stepped forward eagerly to receive the inheritance.

Oh, accept being possessed.

Yang Mu put on the storage bracelet first, then looked at the Myriad Shadows Sword Talisman.

Then he pretended to be refining a sword talisman, waiting for Lao Deng to possess his body.

Sure enough, it didn't take long.

That strange yet familiar feeling washed over me.

Yang Mu made no move, pretending to know nothing and have not noticed anything.

Only when the old man's consciousness entered the Niwan Palace did Yang Mu chuckle:

"Old man, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

The nascent soul was momentarily stunned, and immediately felt as if it had been lured into a trap.

But then the Nascent Soul consciousness thought again: There's no reason for this!

He was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, while I was a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator in my previous life.

What can he use to lure them into a trap?

What makes him so confident in luring you into a trap?

That's practically letting a wolf into the house!

However, the next moment, the nascent soul suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Because the moment the nascent soul entered Yang Mu's Niwan Palace, Yang Mu completely sealed off the Niwan Palace.

What's going on?

Is this guy sealing off his Niwan Palace because he wants to fight me to the death?

How could a cultivator at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage possibly compete with a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator like me?

Even with his half-step Nascent Soul knowledge, he still couldn't figure out what a Foundation Establishment cultivator could rely on.

Then, the nascent soul spoke, "Little fellow, who gave you the courage to close your Niwan Palace and challenge me to a duel?"

"Do you really think that after all these years, I'm too weak to beat you?"

Yang Mu chuckled:

"Don't laugh at me, senior, but I truly believe you can't beat me!"

"Hahaha!" The Nascent Soul consciousness immediately burst into laughter:

"Little guy, you're so funny!"

"Even with my limited knowledge of being a half-step into the Divine Transformation Realm, I cannot fathom what you have to rely on."

At this point, the Nascent Soul consciousness suddenly spoke with a disdainful tone: "You?

"Half-step into the Divine Transformation Realm?" Yang Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"Now you know fear?" the nascent soul laughed. "Too late!"

However, the Nascent Soul consciousness did not see Yang Mu's fear at all.

"Half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, isn't that still not a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Yang Mu said sarcastically.

"presumptuous!"

The Nascent Soul consciousness suddenly roared in anger: "Now, I'll show you just how powerful a half-step Divine Transformation consciousness truly is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nascent Soul consciousness suddenly enveloped Yang Mu's consciousness.

Instead of dodging, Yang Mu's consciousness actively went forward and was enveloped by the Nascent Soul's consciousness:

"Arrogant and boastful, like an ant trying to shake the world..."

Before the Nascent Soul consciousness could finish speaking, it hurriedly broke free from Yang Mu's consciousness, crying out in terror:

"What are you doing?"

The Nascent Soul consciousness was horrified to discover that after its own consciousness enveloped Yang Mu's consciousness, Yang Mu's consciousness was not only not erased, but was instead being eroded.

"I'm absorbing nutrients!" Yang Mu said matter-of-factly.

"You are a Nascent Soul cultivator!" the Nascent Soul consciousness suddenly cried out in terror.

Then, the nascent soul murmured again:

"impossible!"

"A Foundation Establishment stage body cannot withstand the divine consciousness of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

"What kind of freak are you?" the nascent soul roared.

"Heh!" Yang Mu chuckled lightly, feigning profundity as he said, "Below the Nascent Soul stage, I am invincible; above the Nascent Soul stage, it's a one-for-one exchange!"

Having said that, Yang Mu immediately stopped entangled with the Nascent Soul consciousness and rushed straight towards it.

The Nascent Soul consciousness had been terrified and was constantly fleeing, having long lost the pride of its recent half-step into the Divine Transformation stage.

But this is Yang Mu's Niwan Palace, Yang Mu's home turf.

The nascent soul consciousness cannot escape!

"Young friend, if you spare me, I will give you an incredible opportunity!" The almost desperate Nascent Soul consciousness immediately begged for mercy.

But how could Yang Mu possibly agree?

Your consciousness is my nourishment.

Everything you have is mine!

After a long while, Yang Mu finally managed to erase the consciousness of the nascent soul.

"Heh, a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator isn't really a Nascent Soul cultivator, just a slightly stronger one."

"As long as someone is at the Nascent Soul stage, I am invincible!"

Yang Mu murmured.

After obliterating the consciousness of the nascent soul, Yang Mu glanced down and found that the great battle below had temporarily ceased.

Yang Mu knew that the moment Zhao Ziyan became incredibly audacious was about to arrive, and it would also be time for him to leave this place.

After briefly refining the Myriad Shadows Sword Talisman, Yang Mu stored it into his body and waited quietly for Zhao Ziyan to launch her attack.

Sure enough, Yang Mu didn't have to wait long.

Just as she had simulated, Zhao Ziyan suddenly made her move.

Wei Ding and several other Golden Core experts also timely stopped the Golden Core cultivators who were about to attack Zhao Ziyan.

As soon as Zhao Ziyan took the sword in her hand, a teleportation array suddenly appeared in the main hall where Yang Mu was.

Without hesitation, Yang Mu quickly entered the teleportation array.

Just before the teleportation array was activated, Yang Mu glanced at Zhao Ziyan again, thinking to himself:

Fairy Ziyan, I'll be waiting for you outside the secret realm!
