The night was as dark as ink. Pale moonlight filtered through the window gauze and scattered a layer of silvery frost across the room.

On the bed, two figures sat facing each other. Red Dou Qi flowed around Lu Yu, while purple mist coiled around Xiao Yi Xian's body. The two completely different types of Dou Qi somehow melded perfectly within a tiny space, forming a slowly rotating Energy Vortex.

Suddenly, Lu Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and a muffled thunderclap rumbled from within his body. Red waves surged out of him, gathering into a faintly discernible Dou Qi armor over his skin.

The violent energy fluctuation swept across the entire room. The teacup on the table cracked with a sharp snap, splitting into several fine lines.

"Four-star Great Dou Master..." Lu Yu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes flashing brightly.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Yi Xian's delicate body trembled, and the Poison Mist lingering around her abruptly contracted. Faint purple patterns emerged beneath her fair skin, and all the poison qi ultimately converged into the poison pill in her dantian. A cold aura spread out, corroding tiny holes into the dust on the floor.

"Two-star?" Lu Yu raised a brow.

The corners of Xiao Yi Xian's lips lifted slightly, a hint of slyness flashing through her violet eyes. "Likewise."

Under the moonlight, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Lu Yu suddenly let out a soft sigh. "Speaking of which, your Calamity Poison Body is truly astonishing. At this rate, I'm afraid your cultivation will surpass mine in less than half a year."

"Spare me," Xiao Yi Xian snorted softly, winding a strand of hair around her slender finger. "You clearly benefit the most from cultivating the Great Pagoda Art together. No matter how powerful my poison body is, doesn't it still end up benefiting you?"

Lu Yu shook his head with a wry smile. "I'm just an ordinary mortal. If I didn't rely on the Great Pagoda Art, I'd probably still be struggling in the Dou Master realm."

Xiao Yi Xian suddenly leaned forward, a sly glint flashing through her violet eyes. "An ordinary mortal?" Her slender finger gently lifted Lu Yu's chin, and her red lips parted. "Then... would you like Big Sister to keep you?"

Under the moonlight, her violet eyes gleamed with teasing intent. "Once Big Sister reaches the Dou Wang realm, I'll take this little rookie flying with me every day. How does that sound?"

Lu Yu laughed and took her wrist in passing. "Sure. Then I'll wait for Lady Xiao Yi Xian to break through soon so I can live off a woman."

"You said it yourself..."

Before Xiao Yi Xian could finish speaking, she suddenly felt someone's warm hand seem to move. Her cheeks instantly flushed red. She hurriedly pulled her hand back, accidentally knocking over the teacup on the table.

Bang!

The crash of the teacup hitting the floor shattered the ambiguous atmosphere. Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly turned around, pretending to straighten her sleeve to hide her fluster. "It's all your fault."

Lu Yu gazed at her reddened ear, a faint smile flashing through his eyes. He said softly, "You can't blame me for this. Clearly, someone was the one who said she wanted to keep me..."

Hearing that, a trace of embarrassment and annoyance flashed through Xiao Yi Xian's violet eyes. "Who, who said she wanted to keep you?" Though her tone was fierce, it could not conceal the slight tremble in her voice.

The moonlight was like water, filtering through the window gauze and casting a hazy glow over her exquisite profile. Lu Yu unconsciously stepped closer, the unique medicinal fragrance of a young girl lingering at the tip of his nose. Xiao Yi Xian instinctively retreated, only to find her back pressed against the cold wall.

Their breaths intertwined, unusually clear in the quiet room. Xiao Yi Xian's violet eyes shimmered with moisture, and her red lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out.

After an unknown length of time, Lu Yu sighed softly and took a step back to create some distance. "It's getting late."

He turned and walked toward the door. Pausing at the entrance, he said, "We still have to travel tomorrow. Get some rest early."

Xiao Yi Xian watched his retreating back, lightly biting her red lips. With some resentment, she muttered, "I gave you an opportunity, and you still couldn't make use of it. What a coward..."

After returning to his room,

Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the bed as a pale-blue light screen slowly unfolded before his eyes.

It's simulation time again. He secretly thought, his fingertip tapping against his knee unconsciously. The main objective this time is to find a way to break Hai Bodong's seal. A safe Academy route would be enough to start with.

After a year of simulations, Lu Yu had also figured out some of the simulator's patterns. He had accordingly summarized three major simulation routes:

The first was the adventure route, which was the most dangerous. He usually began with a lowly identity and could only rely on his advantage of foresight to seek victory amid danger. Although he occasionally obtained rare treasures like the Earth Core Flame Spirit Liquid, the slightest carelessness would send him to an early grave.

The second was the Academy route, which was the safest. In ten of the twelve simulations, he had been given the option of an academy student identity. This route had the highest survival rate, but its cost was limited rewards and an easy tendency to repeat routes. It could be said to offer low risk and low returns.

As for the third, it was the background route...

Such starts were almost impossible to come by, like the "Illegitimate Son of the Hundred Spirits King" identity he had drawn last month. Not only had it been safe and worry-free, but it had also given him a treasure like the Earth Core Jade Marrow, allowing the Earth Core Flame to evolve successfully.

Unfortunately, he had only encountered such good fortune twice in the past year.

There's no use thinking too much. Let's begin the simulation.

After reviewing his previous simulation experiences, Lu Yu made his choice with a thought.

Ding! Drawing a simulation identity for the host-- Draw successful. Please select one of the following three identities. One, Luoshen Clan Son-in-Law--You possess a natural Cauldron Physique and were adopted by the Luoshen Clan as a child. You grew up with the Luoshen Clan's Empress, Luoli, and after reaching adulthood, married into the Luoshen Clan, becoming the enviously fortunate Luoshen Clan Son-in-Law. Two, Endless Fire Domain disciple--You are a branch member of the Xiao Family and a disciple of the Endless Fire Domain's Outer Domain. You grew up in the Endless Fire Domain in a privileged environment. Three, Northern Cang Spiritual Academy recommended student--You possess a natural Heavenly Spiritual Vein. As soon as you entered the Spirit Path, you were fought over by the Five Great Academies. In the end, you chose the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, avoiding the Spirit Path trials, receiving the status of a core student, and being guaranteed admission. Please make your choice--

"Gasp..."

I struck gold! I actually got an Endless Fire Domain identity as my starting point!

Lu Yu's eyes lit up, and he could not help excitedly slapping his thigh.

This was the Endless Fire Domain!

One had to know that the Great Thousand World was vast and boundless. Forces above the Supreme level alone were as numerous as cattle, while there were probably only a few hundred forces with a Heaven Supreme presiding over them.

Among the super forces with a Saint-grade powerhouse presiding over them, on the human side, apart from the Five Great Primordial Clans, there were only the Endless Fire Domain, Martial Realm, Sword Domain, Ten Thousand Tombs Land, and Great Thousand Palace. Even counting them all up, they numbered no more than could be counted on two hands.

To draw the Endless Fire Domain from among so many forces was a one-in-a-billion chance!

"What is there to hesitate about? I'm going to the Endless Fire Domain!"

Lu Yu took a deep breath. With a thought, he directly chose the second identity to begin.

Selection successful! Loading identity... Simulation beginning-- Year One: You turn six years old. Due to your decent cultivation talent, your parents send you to the Earth-tier Academy to cultivate. Because you are in the Endless Fire Domain, you are completely unafraid of trouble from the Futu Ancient Clan. You do not cultivate the God-tier Spiritual Art your parents give you. After reaching the Spirit Movement Stage, you directly begin cultivating the Great Pagoda Art, and your cultivation speed advances by leaps and bounds. Year Two: Relying on your thoroughly mastered Guardian Trigram Palm and Roaring Lion's Chant, you repeatedly take first place in the academy competitions. You receive a reward of a supreme-grade Spirit Nurturing Pill, break through to the Spirit Wheel Stage, and are sent to the Heaven-tier Academy to cultivate.
