After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Shi Yan watched as Ming Zhongle and Bai Xiaoxiao passed through the central Dragon-Locking Pillar of the Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion and left the Sword Tomb without saying a word, only gently rubbing Ming Zhongqing's palm.

Am I going a little too far by doing this?

She looked in the direction where Ming Zhongle and Bai Xiaoxiao had disappeared.

不 ...

No, not at all.

Just thinking about Ming Zhongqing lying on the ground, his body almost ice-cold, covered in blood, his abdomen ripped open, his life hanging by a thread...

Shi Yan felt a chill run through his body.

He... even death would not be enough to atone for his sins.

Now, all I need to do is get Ming Zhongqing away.

Let the seeds of Ming Zhongle's 'tragedy' take root and sprout.

After that... Ming Zhongqing may hate himself, or like in the game, he may 'hunt' him to the ends of the earth.

She herself will make those who hurt her pay the price.

“Senior brother…” Long Taoyi approached from the side, his expression solemn as he watched Bai Xiaoxiao’s disappearing figure.

As a sword cultivator from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, dedicated to eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, Long Taoyi sensed something unusual about Bai Xiaoxiao.

"Long Taoyi." Shi Yan took Ming Zhongqing's small hand and held it gently, comforting the girl.

"Ok?"

"Are demons... really that bad?" Shi Yan turned to look at the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

"Do all people...have a conscience?"

"Cultivating immortality is very simple."

"What's complicated is the heart."

Part 75 I can jog now, and I can even jump high! [Third Update]

"Cultivating immortality is very simple..."

"Is it the heart that is complicated?"

Repeating the words his master had spoken, Long Taoyi felt as if the fog before him had been lifted in an instant.

The road ahead was wide and smooth, and his sword mind became as clear as water in an instant.

Although he hadn't practiced the "Hidden Sword Technique," this sudden enlightenment still allowed his cultivation to leap forward considerably.

At least, there will be far fewer obstacles to overcome in future cultivation.

"I get it!!!"

Long Taoyi tried to grab Shi Yan's shoulder, but Shi Yan gently dodged him. "Senior brother... I've got it!!!"

For a fleeting moment, Shi Yan even considered slapping him and yelling, "You bastard! What have you figured out?"

But it was just a joke.

A sudden enlightenment is similar to someone suddenly barging in while someone is generating electricity.

It might cause someone to develop post-traumatic stress disorder.

Long Taoyi had been kind to her, and if she weren't still carrying Ming Zhongqing on her back, Shi Yan could accept being grabbed by the shoulder by him.

His hand grasped at empty air, and Long Taoyi slowly came to his senses.

"Congratulations..."

As he listened to his teacher's congratulations, he felt a void in his heart.

My fingertips... seem to still hold a lingering, undetected fragrance.

He looked closely at Shi Yan's pretty face.

Long Taoyi bit his tongue and silently recited the "Righteous Sword Qi" in his mind over and over again.

He had heard of a woman who was so beautiful she could bring ruin to a country. Though a woman, she possessed an innate allure that even other women could not resist her charm.

But I never imagined... that a man could be like this.

The heightened awareness brought about by "Sword Heart Heavenly Sensation" instead plunged Long Taoyi into a deep dilemma.

His subconscious had already categorized Shi Yan as a woman.

But... reason and thought told him, wake up, that's a man!

The vast sword energy swiftly completed a full cycle.

Under the guidance of his master, Long Taoyi's Haoran Sword Qi cultivation technique improved rapidly, even faster than when he was being beaten up at the sword's edge.

Shi Yan slowly put Ming Zhongqing down, and the girl grabbed Qi Bi's hand as if fleeing.

Qi Bi's gaze darted back and forth between Ming Zhongqing and Shi Yan, both amused and exasperated, but she didn't say anything.

Ming Zhongle had already left, so the group headed straight for the steps leading to the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

The steps were wide, but... everyone made way for them.

The Azure Lotus Sword Sect, the supreme sword sect in the entire Nine Provinces, is one of the most formidable and not to be trifled with. There's no need for them to invite trouble.

However... they were still quite interested in watching the spectacle.

Especially in the Azure Lotus Sword Sect team...that one and only outsider—

The teacher said.

He is only at the Qi Refining stage.

To be honest, Shi Yan was also very curious.

In the game, the prerequisites for reaching this level are comprehension, innate talent, and cultivation reaching the "Foundation Building Realm".

Once players successfully ascend the steps and enter the "Thirty-Three Swords Pavilion," they can begin the final trial of the "Thirty-Three Swords Pavilion."

Fight against the Blade & Soul girl.

The sword spirit will control her cultivation level to be the same as the player's; if you defeat her, you can choose a cultivation manual of any quality.

If you lose, you'll be dismissed by any random manual.

Once players break through to the Tribulation Realm, or use an invincible cheat tool to defeat the Sword Spirit Girl's true form, they can also ask the Sword Spirit Girl for Sword Spirit Energy.

That is... the revealing outfit worn by the Blade & Soul girl.

However, the prerequisites for cultivation are usually restrictions imposed on players.

Just like those "XX Great Techniques (Transformation Realm)".

It's clearly a very powerful martial arts technique, but for the sake of balance, its use is restricted for players.

However... if a player gifts a Nascent Soul Realm cultivation technique to a Daoist partner who is only at the Qi Refining Realm, they will find that the partner, once their innate aptitude is deemed adequate, can learn those rather profound late-stage secret manuals without any obstacles.

After being reincarnated, Shi Yan discovered that all those restrictions were ineffective against her.

It happened when he was gambling with Ming Zhongle in the "Langya Pavilion".

Despite only being at the Body Tempering Realm, he successfully learned the "Lotus Separation Technique (Qi Refining Realm)".

So she wanted to give it a try.

Taking the lead, Shi Yan stepped onto the stairs.

She suddenly froze and tilted her head.

"Senior brother... if it's not possible, there's no need to force yourself." Long Taoyi and the other disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect wanted to advise their master.

In any case, this is a trial given to cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Master said that being at the Qi Refining stage was still too much of a stretch.

The entire square, as well as those who had already climbed the steps and were squatting in front of the "Thirty-Three Swords Pavilion" gate watching the excitement, all turned their attention to this place.

Some even took out small stools and sunflower seeds and peanuts, betting on how far the master could climb.

“Shiyan…” Ming Zhongqing pursed his lips and spoke softly, “Don’t force yourself.”

"Whatever secret manual you want, I'll get it for you."

Ming Zhongqing was very confident in his comprehension.

Moreover... his own strength had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

She tentatively stepped onto the step and felt no pressure at all; it was as if she were walking on flat ground.

But... Master said he was only at the Qi Refining stage.

Ming Zhongqing was genuinely worried about his teacher.

"No... I'm fine."

“It’s even good.” Shi Yan waved his hand and put his other foot on the step as well.

The reason she was just taken aback was that she didn't feel any pressure at all.

"I can jog now."

"I can still do a big jump!" Shi Yan ran up the steps and then jumped down.

Ming Zhongqing covered his lips and chuckled as he looked at Shi Yan.

Then... she watched longingly as Shi Yan stretched out his hand to her, "Doesn't this look good?"

"She looks much better than when she's frowning."

Ever since the girl met that scumbag brother Ming Zhongle, she has been frowning.

Teacher Yan disliked seeing girls with wrinkled faces and tearful expressions.

Ming Zhongqing stood there, completely stunned.

In a daze, she realized why Shi Yan had run up and jumped down.

Is it to... make myself happy?
