    Trantor: 549690339


    At age 32: You go under an alias, travel all over, feel the changes of heaven and earth, observe the seasonal shifts, and your understanding of the truth of martial arts cultivation reaches a higher level. Unfortunately, you still can’t practice cultivation.


    Half a yearter, on a mountain climb, you identally fall into a mysterious ce. Youter find out that it is a forbidden blessednd that has never been recorded before.


    Hope rises in your heart. You want to find the extraordinary thing in the forbidden blessednd, hoping to restore your strength with its help and take revenge. Even if martial arts ceases in the future, it doesn’t matter.


    Fortune favors the persistent. After countless hardships and trials, you finally find the peculiar thing in the forbidden blessednd, a treasure mirror.


    At age 33: You emerge from the forbidden blessednd – not only has your strength been restored, but you’ve also advanced to the Second-ss Realm. However, due to the limitations of the peculiar thing, you can’t make any further breakthroughs unless you find another corresponding peculiar thing.


    But you don’t care about this, your mind is only filled with thoughts of revenge.


    A monthter, you arrive at a fortress of the Underworld, cut down the Underworld assassins, and search for clues about the person behind the assault.


    Over half a year, you’ve taken down several of the Underworld’s fortresses, killed dozens of their Third-grade false masters, even the Second -ss Martial Artists. But you still haven’t found any clues.


    One day, you hear that the Emperor has died and the previous King Xing’S son, the new King Xing, is set to inherit the throne.


    Thinking of the care that the old King Xing showed you, the deep friendship between you two, you don’t hesitate and put aside everything to escort the new King Xing to Tiandu to ascend the throne.


    Of course, you have your own intentions, hoping to use him to uncover the truth about the past.


    On the journey to escort the new King Xing to Tiandu, you face many obstacles. But with you, a Second-ss Martial Artist, and several of the Royal Mansion’s aides assisting, there is constant surprise but never any danger.


    However, when you’re about to reach, you encounter an unprecedented assassination attempt. In the group of assassins, there are more than ten First-grade martial artists.


    While you manage to kill one First- grade martial artist, you are outnumbered and eventually in.


    [End of your life.]


    “It seems that I really have a fate with King Xing,” Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help thinking after the simtion.


    He originally thought that after arriving in Tiandu early and entering the Martial Academy, there wouldn’t be much of an intersection between the two.


    However, it turns out that due to a fortunate turn of events, he joined forces with King Xing and ultimately died protecting him while ascending the throne, just like in the previous simtions.


    What is this about?


    A destiny ordained by fate? Or something else?


    Unknown.


    What Pei Xuanjing didn’t expect was that he, a Third-grade Martial Artist, managed to survive the catastrophe of the Martial Academy’s destruction.


    However, he wasn’t surprised by his luck of falling into a forbidden blessedndter.


    At that time, for the sake of revenge, he couldn’t care less about the future and would resort to any means necessary.


    [The simtion is over, you can choose to keep one of the following rewards.]


    [First, Second-ss Martial Arts Realm.]


    [Second, experience of fighting against a First-grade martial artist.]


    [Third, the location of the forbidden blessednd.]


    Pei Xuanjing didn’t make a choice immediately. Instead, he called Pang Hong to prepare a medicinal bath and sent him into the training room.


    He ced all the Heavenly Yuan Great Pills and Earth Yuan Big Pills he had umted over the time next to him.


    After closing the training room, dressed in a short shirt and shorts, he steps into the bath.


    After making all the preparations, Pei Xuanjing chooses the first option.


    After making his choice, the True Qi in his body starts to circte. The medicinal power of the bath begins to seep into his body, the Blood Qi in his body starts to rapidly boil.


    The circting True Qi in his body begins to refine the Blood Qi, and strands of fresh blood slowly seep out from his body into the medicinal bath.


    Under the support of the Martial Dao True Qi, the boiling Blood Qi slowly begins to gather. It first forms a fog-like state, and then this fog begins to slowly change as if it’s being controlled, gradually gathering into the shape of a furnace.


    After an unknown length of time, Pei Xuanjing finallypletes the breakthrough. The Blood Qi in his body bes even purer, and his flowing blood is as viscous as mercury, surging and raging.


    He opens his eyes with a sharp glint in them, rotates his True Qi, his Blood Qi boils, and then under the support of Martial Dao’s true will, his Blood Qi forms the shape of a Furnace…


    Sigh…


    “So this is what it feels like to be a Second-ss Martial Artist?” As Pei Xuaniing feels the robust True Qi and vigorous Blood Qi in his body, he exims.


    This time, his breakthrough to Second-ss Martial Artist Realm, even though “Dragon Elephant Skill” is still at the seventh stage, his body once again receives a boost after the second blood transformation. His strength increases by two elephant units, now having a total of nine elephant units of strength.


    “Maybe, now I can try to fight against a First-grade martial artist and see how far apart we are,” Pei Xuanjing thinks to himself.


    This breakthrough has given him a great deal of confidence, inspiring him to engage in a duel with a First-grade martial artist to see where he stands.


    As his strength grows, so does his ambition and confidence.


    Even more, Pei Xuanjing wonders if he could suppress a First-grade Martial Artist with his


    Second-ss Realm if he seeds in cultivating the eighth stage of “Dragon Elephant Skill”.


    Isn’t it possible?


    That’s what Pei Xuanjing was thinking.


    These two life simtions rendered great gains to Pei Xuanjing, providing him with a great sense of security.


    He is confident that if he encounters a First-grade martial artist, even if he can’t defeat him, he can still retreat with poise in one-on-one situations.


    “It’s just a bit of a shame that after this breakthrough, I can’t proceed with the next simtion,” says Pei Xuanjing, feeling a bit regretful.


    Originally, his Taoyun value was sufficient to support three life simtions. Unfortunately, with this breakthrough, the Taoyun value required for a life simtion has risen to 50000 points.


    “However, it doesn’t matter, a mere 30000 extra Taoyun points, saving up for some time should be enough,” Pei Xuanjing tries to console himself.


    He walks out of the training room, and after cleaning up, sees Pang Hong bringing a letter.


    “Master, this is a letter that Lin Qianhu sent over. He said that there’s an urgent matter,” Pang Hong respectfully hands the letter to Pei Xuanjing.


    As Pei Xuanjing had anticipated, he takes the letter, opens it, and reads it.


    Lin Qingyi has written to him that he has found the hideout of a behind-the-scenes power and invites Pei Xuanjing to go with him..
