#84 - Chapter 84: Second Simulation
That evening, you were practicing the Ancient Black Bull Seal and cultivating spiritual energy in North Xuan City as usual when suddenly, a monstrous power descended from the sky. A woman in a blood-colored palace dress arrived, her eyes full of majesty. Upon seeing you, she didn't say a word and struck you with a palm, intending to kill you.
From this woman in the blood-colored palace dress, you felt a power even stronger than that of the Wan Mo Sect Master and the Sword Palace Elder.
Faced with her attack, you felt an immense threat and immediately transformed into the Kun Peng demon form to escape.
Why did such a dangerous woman in a blood-colored palace dress suddenly appear in the ancient city? Why did she attack you directly? You were filled with questions, but you would soon understand.
"Kun Peng Celestial Art! Lin Changqing, you have quite the good fortune. This Palace brought you into the Chaoge Dead City, but I didn't expect you to obtain the Kun Peng Celestial Art!"
"It seems the fortune of the righteous path of Qingzhou has truly descended upon you. As the leader of the demonic path of Qingzhou, this Palace truly cannot let you live!"
Behind you came the shocked and murderous words of the woman in the blood-colored palace dress. From these words, you roughly understood the identity of the woman.
Claiming to be 'this Palace,' and attacking you directly without a word, coupled with claiming to be the leader of the demonic path of Qingzhou, it was obvious that she was the demoness Qiu Yue!
Only she possessed such powerful might, and more importantly, you learned from her words that she was the reason you entered the Dead City!
Now the doubts in your heart were resolved. You wondered why you were flying so well in the vast desert, and just as you were about to reach Central Continent, the Chaoge Dead City suddenly descended and sucked you in!
It turned out that all of this was Qiu Yue's doing!
Qiu Yue was able to manipulate the Chaoge Dead City to descend, could it be that she possesses... You had a certain guess in your mind...
"Qiu Yue brought me into the Chaoge Dead City, obviously with the intention of preventing me from escaping to Central Continent, and then trapping me like a turtle in a jar within the Chaoge Dead City."
"But she never expected that I would have a fortuitous encounter and obtain the Kun Peng Celestial Art!"
Lin Changqing, transformed into the Kun Peng demon form, flew rapidly. He glanced back, and Qiu Yue was chasing behind him, but she couldn't catch up at all!
This was the terror of the Kun Peng Celestial Art. Even though Qiu Yue was seven minor realms higher than Lin Changqing.
But with the Kun Peng Celestial Art, Lin Changqing had already left Qiu Yue far behind!
And this was only the incomplete version. He couldn't imagine how terrifying Lin Changqing's speed would be when he obtained the complete version in the future.
Ten minutes later, you rapidly flew from the southern part of North Xuan City to the northern part. At this moment, you had already left Qiu Yue far behind, and you breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"In just a few days, this Kun Peng Celestial Art has already saved my life twice," you thought.
The first time was in South Xuan City, where you used the Kun Peng Celestial Art to escape the Stone Man's pursuit, avoiding becoming a gargoyle.
The second time was this time, when Qiu Yue was chasing you. In the past, Qiu Yue was seven minor realms higher than you, and your speed would definitely not be as fast as hers. But now, with the Kun Peng Celestial Art, you successfully escaped her pursuit.
However, just as you were thinking this, a large amount of black mist suddenly filled the sky above North Xuan City, as if night had fallen. One by one, ghost soldiers emerged from the Yin residences on both sides of the street.
Next, you saw a shocking scene. The ghost soldiers on the distant street were actually crowding around a person, as if that person was their king. And that person, wearing a blood-colored palace dress, was Qiu Yue!
"As expected of the Kun Peng Celestial Art. Even though this Palace is seven minor realms higher than you, I still couldn't catch up. But in the Chaoge Dead City, you are destined to not escape this Palace's grasp," Qiu Yue said with a cold smile. As she spoke, she took out a black Xuan Bird Token from her left hand and waved it forward gently, as if a king was giving an order. The ghost soldiers received the order and charged towards Lin Changqing!
Your previous guess was correct. Qiu Yue really possessed a Xuan Bird Token, and this Xuan Bird Token did indeed possess a portion of the authority to control the Dead City, actually being able to control the ghost soldiers of this North Xuan City to attack you!
You remembered that these ghost soldiers were not aggressive the previous two nights, but now you only felt your scalp tingling. Endless numbers of them, every street, even the sky, was densely packed with ghost soldiers charging towards you.
Two quarters of an hour later, you died. There were too many ghost soldiers, and they were incredibly powerful. You tried to transform into the Kun Peng demon form to escape, but in the end, Qiu Yue directed the ghost soldiers to slowly surround and kill you.
Before your death, you saw Qiu Yue walking towards you with a sneer, looking down from above.
"So-called geniuses, even with more fortuitous encounters, are nothing more than a handful of loess in front of me, Qiu Yue."
"In Qingzhou, if this Palace wants to kill someone, no one can escape, and you are no exception!"
This simulation is over, calculating simulation rewards.
Golden Core Third Layer cultivation, Forged Tenth Bone.
In the dim room, as these two lines of text appeared on the panel, a strange power instantly entered Lin Changqing's body from the void.
He instantly completed the formation of his Golden Core and reached the Golden Core Third Layer.
Moreover, at this moment, an incomplete Kun Peng rune slowly emerged within his Dantian.
"This simulation was not bad. The initial goals were achieved, completing the Nine-Pattern Golden Core and Forged Tenth Bone, and unexpectedly obtaining the Kun Peng Celestial Art."
Feeling the powerful power coming from his body, Lin Changqing let out a long breath. He was very satisfied with this simulation, and the general goals were all achieved.
Although he died in Qiu Yue's hands in the end, it also solved a major problem for him.
The main city of the Chaoge Dead City has the complete Kun Peng Celestial Art and the main trunk of the Jianmu Divine Boat's cabin, which are all great opportunities for him.
He had been worried about where to find a Xuan Bird Token, and he had no clues.
But now it was good.
He knew that Qiu Yue had one in her hand.
Thinking of this, Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes:
"Very good, the goal for the second simulation is determined, which is to improve cultivation, find a place to cultivate steadily, play it safe, practice to the Golden Core Eighth Layer or Golden Core Tenth Layer, and come back to directly kill through Qingzhou and snatch the Xuan Bird Token from Qiu Yue's hand."
Lin Changqing looked at the panel, eager to start the second simulation.
Remaining simulation attempts: four. Start the next simulation?
Yes
Starting simulation
Time: Taixu Year 330
Location: Blackwater Market
You have been reborn with the cultivation of the Golden Core Third Layer and Forged Tenth Bone from the previous life. Now you have the following choices.
A: In seven days, the demoness Qiu Yue will attack Blackwater Market. In the previous life, you had doubts about what the treasure Qiu Yue took from Ni Chang's hands was. Stay and secretly observe.
B: Set off directly to Central Continent. Central Continent has deep spiritual energy and vast secret realm resources. There, you can break through to the Golden Core Tenth Layer earlier. Moreover, the Mountain and Sea Sect's main hall secret realm in Central Continent has the method you need to refine your internal organs.
Lin Changqing directly chose option A. Going to Central Continent wouldn't be too late even after seven days.
He was indeed curious about what the treasure that Ni Chang had taken from Qiu Yue's hands was.
A thought suddenly popped into Lin Changqing's mind. Could the treasure that Ni Chang had stolen by Qiu Yue be the Xuan Bird Token?
