My whole family are full of geniuses, I really don't want to be a succubus!

"What do you mean by being able to break through to the Golden Core stage? You can even pre-order this thing?" Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when she suddenly looked at Shi Buran, who was only at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Su Yi asked with some disbelief, "Otherwise, you've been suppressing your cultivation level the whole time?"

Shi Buran nodded and replied, "If I cultivate too quickly, it will inevitably attract the attention of the higher-ups in the immortal sects, which would not be good for my plans!"

Upon hearing Shi Buran's words, Su Yi naturally thought of Shi Buran's identity as an undercover agent for the Buddhist sect.

Since you want to be an undercover agent, you can't be too conspicuous. If you're too dazzling, it's easy to expose your identity.

As expected of the Zen Buddha who will one day single-handedly confront the Great Love Immortal Lord, his talent is equally terrifying.

Another one who wants to break through to the Golden Core stage, and can do so at any time. Is breaking through to the Golden Core stage really that easy now?

Thinking about this, Su Yi remembered that she seemed to be able to break through at any time if she wanted to. Looking at it this way, the Golden Core stage wasn't too difficult!

Su Yi coughed lightly and directly returned the question, saying, "So what do you think?"

Shi Buran replied, "If I cannot break through to the Golden Core stage, then I cannot participate in this Southwest Grand Competition with my senior brother. However, if we break through to the Golden Core stage one after another, it will surely attract the attention of the Immortal Sect. Therefore, I am also hesitating."

As an undercover agent, Shi Buran believed that he should lie low and complete his mission without anyone noticing.

However, Su Yi, who was also an undercover agent, acted recklessly. First, she became the chief disciple of the outer sect, then she integrated the inner sect and established the Azure Dragon Study Group. Moreover, when the sect was in danger, she turned the tide with a single dance.

His actions were so dazzling that now, everyone in the sect knows the name Su Yi.

In Shi Buran's view, Su Yi's talent was so overwhelming that it was impossible to suppress, which was extremely dangerous for an undercover agent.

However, Su Yi took a different approach, attracting the attention of the Immortal Sect with her unparalleled talent and successfully infiltrating the sect's upper echelons. The information she obtained in this way was far greater than that of Shi Buran, who only lingered in the courtyard and in class.

Therefore, Shi Buran also wanted to change his strategy, no longer suppressing his cultivation, and wanted to replicate the path Su Yi had taken!

But when Su Yi heard that Shi Buran also wanted to participate in the Southwest Grand Competition, she felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.

Are you also participating in the Southwest Grand Competition?

What's so great about this competition?

Why are they all crowding around?

Since this Southwest Grand Competition is so important to these prodigies, why wasn't it written into the storyline of "Immortal Path"? The game planners are really trying to save themselves trouble!

Upon hearing that Shi Buran also wanted to participate in the Southwest Grand Competition, Su Yi secretly cursed the dog-like planner of "Immortal Path" in her heart.

Although she was cursing inwardly, Su Yi's face remained expressionless. She simply nodded and said with a touch of admiration, "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. You've considered everything very thoroughly!"

"The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. Senior brother is pointing this out to me. If I were to stand under everyone's gaze, it would be very dangerous for an ordinary person like me. It's better for senior brother to be in the open while I remain in the shadows. Even if senior brother's identity is exposed one day, I can still ensure my safety. He truly lives up to his reputation as senior brother. Compared to Senior Brother Su's strategic planning, I am still far behind!"

Upon hearing Su Yi's words, Shi Buran's expression remained unchanged, but a thought stirred within him as he sensed Su Yi's deepest concern. He then bowed slightly and said, "I have learned much, Senior Brother. In that case, I wish you great success in this Southwest Grand Competition!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room, leaving Su Yi completely bewildered and swallowing the words she had prepared.

"What do you mean? What have I taught you? Do these prodigies have brain circuits that have a few more turns than ordinary people?"

Although he didn't understand what Shi Buran had learned, judging from the boy's words, it seemed that he was preparing to continue suppressing his cultivation.

For Su Yi, losing one person to the Southwest Grand Competition wouldn't be a bad thing.

The ten years that disappeared in the storyline of "Immortal Path" must have been a period in which nothing major happened, which means it was a relatively safe decade.

Although relatively safe, Su Yi was also completely unaware of what had happened in the past ten years. What exactly had happened that made Gu Wanquan wield his sword to kill Luo Xia ten years later?

Not only was the time travel itself a mystery, but it remains a mystery to this day.

The only thing known is that these ten years were a period of dormancy during which these prodigies in the courtyard accumulated power and prepared to stir up the world.

Ten years from now, the whole world will be turned upside down because of them!

What I need to do is seize this decade-long opportunity and become someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with, or even surpass, these geniuses.

Ten years later, Su Yi was still confident. She had reached level 20 in just two months of cultivation, which was more than a year before she transmigrated. Her progress was remarkable.

With a player panel, dual NPC and player attribute bonuses, dual mythical talents, and a bug-exploiting mechanism in the newbie gift pack, you have unlimited possibilities!

With one less person on this trip, there is one less variable, and Su Yi is able to face the first trial without any prior information with composure!

The unknown represents the danger of uncertainty, but it also foreshadows infinite possibilities.

According to my godfather, this Southwest Grand Competition is a contest between the four great grotto heavens and countless rogue cultivators, all vying for first place in the Zhengyang Immortal Sect's grotto heaven.

According to the map of "Immortal Path", Su Yi can probably deduce that the four major grotto-heavens in the southwest are Zhengyang Grotto-heaven, Ultimate Grotto-heaven, Luoxia Grotto-heaven, and Wan Gu Grotto-heaven.

When the game "Immortal Journey" was launched, these grotto-heavens either perished, became dead zones, or barely survived. The only one that survived to the end of the game was Zhengyang Grotto-heaven, the venue for this grand competition.

It was also one of the few blessed lands where dogs could still bark twice during the period of the two emperors' struggle for supremacy!

The blessed lands that managed to survive to the end in the three major versions of the war between good and evil, the invasion of the evil path, and the struggle for supremacy between the two emperors must have some tricks up their sleeves.

Zhengyang Cave is hailed as the number one cave in Southwest China. Based on the Innate Pure Yang Gong, it follows the path of cultivating both body and qi. It possesses ancestral supernatural powers, the Golden Light Mantra, and integrates offense and defense, making it truly invincible.

Before the players arrived, there was an overwhelming rush of players wanting to join Zhengyang Cave. In order to trigger the entry quest, the cats, dogs, plants, and rocks around Zhengyang Cave were all messed up by the players.

However, very few players are able to join the Immortal Sect, and those who manage to enter the sect instantly lose contact with the general public, as if deliberately concealing how they joined the sect.

Even for a top-tier player like Su Yi, when asked for her opinion, the other party only replied with, "Don't ask, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!"

Now Su Yi understands. With the intensity of classes in the major sects, those players who went through so much trouble to join the sects originally thought they would be transformed into dragons after encountering great changes.

Who knew I'd be sent back to high school, embarking on another grueling three- to five-year high school experience followed by three years of college entrance exam preparation.

Su Yi had dealt with Zhengyang Cave Heaven before her transmigration.

As the Empress's number one lackey, although his reputation wasn't great, outside the Great Zhou Dynasty, everyone called him Commander Su of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

Su Yi stroked her chin, recalling her memories from before she transmigrated:

"Zhengyang Cave Heaven? The sect that always wanted to be the Empress's lackey before I transmigrated?"
