Simulating Again, the Yin Scroll in Hand!

Deep into the night, inside an inn in Qingshan Town.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the bed. With a thought, a pale-blue light screen visible only to him slowly unfolded before his eyes.

The number of simulations has refreshed. Current simulations remaining: One. Begin simulation?

"Begin."

"A month has passed. It's time to scheme for the Great Pagoda Art Yin Scroll."

Ding! Drawing a simulated identity for the host--

Drawing successful. Please choose one of the following three identities.

One, Illegitimate Son of the Hundred Spirits King—you were born into nobility, the ninety-ninth son of the Hundred Spirits King, the Earth Supreme powerhouse who ruled the Hundred Spirits Continent. Although your cultivation talent was lacking and you had no hope of inheriting the Hundred Spirits King's position, you still enjoyed limitless cultivation resources.

Two, Northern Cang Academy Student—you were adopted by Ling Xi, a human-grade high-level Spirit Array Master, when you were young, and aspired to become a Spirit Array Master.

Three, Northern Darkness Dragon Kun Cub—you were a Northern Darkness Dragon Kun Cub wandering the Hundred Spirits Continent. Born with the potential of a divine beast, you might even glimpse the Earth Supreme Stage upon reaching adulthood, but for now, you were merely a little creature at the Divine Soul Stage.

Please make your choice--

"All three identities are pretty good!"

Lu Yu's eyes lit up when he saw this. As a transmigrator, he still had some understanding of the Great Thousand World.

First was the Hundred Spirits King. Although that fellow was an Earth Supreme powerhouse, his cultivation was purely a realm fed to him by his Heaven Supreme parents. His true combat strength was probably at the bottom of the Earth Supreme Stage.

But just the halo of having Heaven Supreme parents had already allowed him to surpass ninety-nine percent of the geniuses in the Great Thousand World.

Choosing to become the Hundred Spirits King's son—even an illegitimate one—would be enough to obtain abundant resources for breaking through to the Supreme Stage.

As for the second identity, Ling Xi, although she was currently only a human-grade high-level Spirit Array Master comparable to a Third-grade Supreme, after recovering her memories later on, she would become a high-level Spirit Array Master comparable to the Earth Supreme Great Perfection realm. On top of that, she was Qing Yan Jing's adopted daughter. That backing was even stronger than the Hundred Spirits King's.

As for the final identity, it relied purely on oneself. The potential of a divine beast—those four words alone were enough to show its value. As long as he did not court death during the simulation, he was guaranteed to become a high-grade Supreme.

"One has endless resources, one has the strongest backing, and one has the best talent. All three are excellent starting points. But this time, I'm after the Great Pagoda Art Yin Scroll, so I can only choose the second option."

With a thought, Lu Yu chose the second identity. Immediately afterward, a familiar mechanical voice rang out in his mind once more.

Selection successful! Loading identity...

Simulation beginning--

Year One: At the age of six, you awoke amid the ruins of a battlefield between Northern Cang Spiritual Academy and Dragon Demon Palace. You were subsequently carried away by the president of Northern Cang Spiritual Academy and began your years of cultivation there.

Year Two: After being brought back to the academy by the Northern Cang president, you accepted the truth that your parents had died tragic deaths and resolved to avenge them. Out of guilt, the Northern Cang president called in a favor and had you become a disciple of Ling Xi, an elder of Northern Cang Spiritual Academy.

Year Three: After your cultivation broke through to the late Spirit Movement Stage, Ling Xi began teaching you the way of Spirit Arrays. Through her explanations, you gradually came to understand the mysteries of Spirit Arrays.

A Spirit Array was a special method of causing the energy within one's body to resonate in a particular way, thereby drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to achieve offensive and defensive effects.

To trigger this resonance between heaven and earth, one first had to condense Spirit Seals. They were indispensable for setting up Spirit Arrays.

Under Ling Xi's guidance, you condensed your first Spirit Seal in just fifteen minutes—eight times faster than ordinary Spirit Array Masters. She was extremely satisfied with this talent and decided to take you as her direct disciple. You readily agreed.

Year Four: Your Spiritual Energy cultivation barely broke through to the Spirit Wheel Stage, but your Spirit Array cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. You had already become a peak first-level Spirit Array Master, enough to rival a peak Spirit Wheel Stage expert. Given enough time, you might even have been able to fight a Divine Soul Stage expert!

Year Five: You passed Northern Cang Spiritual Academy's freshman examination and officially became a Northern Cang Academy Student. You also advanced to become a second-level Spirit Array Master. An eleven-year-old second-level Spirit Array Master was even rarer than an eleven-year-old Divine Soul Stage expert. You had practically rewritten the history of Northern Cang Spiritual Academy!

Although you had not obtained a ninth-grade Spirit Seal during the freshman examination, after discussion by the council of elders, you were still granted the treatment of a core student.

In the second month, Ling Xi took a Young Girl named Ye Sun'er as her second disciple. You gained an adorable junior sister. Although she was two years older than you, she still had to call you Senior Disciple Brother.

In the third month, relying on the Divine Soul Yin-Yang Ganoderma obtained from the freshman examination, your cultivation broke through to the Divine Soul Stage. Your Spirit Array cultivation also reached the level of a third-level Spirit Array Master, enough to rival a Heaven Melting Stage expert. You fought Mu Chen at the freshman assembly but lost by a narrow margin, placing second among the freshmen.

Afterward, you went to the Spiritual Art Hall to choose a spiritual art and ultimately obtained a low-grade divine-level spiritual art—the Heavenly Flame Divine Art!

In the sixth month, you began sweeping through the Divine Soul Ranking, suppressing the academy's disciples of the same generation so thoroughly that they could barely hold their heads up. Even the older Divine Soul Stage experts were somewhat wary of you.

Under the pressure you gave her, Ye Sun'er progressed rapidly. In her gratification, Ling Xi began teaching you the incomplete Great Cang Spirit Array Diagram—said to be a simplified version of Northern Cang Spiritual Academy's guardian array.

But you never forgot your true objective. You wanted to ask Ling Xi for the Great Pagoda Art Yin Scroll, yet did not know how to bring it up. After some thought, you decided to become friends with Mu Chen first.

In the seventh month, because you often exchanged insights into Spirit Arrays with Mu Chen, the two of you became close friends who could talk about anything. During several sparring matches, you used a Spirit Array to intercept a trace of the aura of Mu Chen's Great Pagoda Art.

Afterward, using that aura as a lead, you deceived Ling Xi by telling her that you had discovered an aura similar to the cultivation art she practiced inside a cave abode. You successfully lured Ling Xi out of Northern Cang Spiritual Academy...

After that, you infiltrated Ling Xi's bedroom and took one of her personal belongings.

In the eighth month, your cultivation reached the Heaven Melting Stage, and you became a fourth-level Spirit Array Master capable of rivaling a Heaven Transformation Stage expert. After making various arrangements, you knocked Mu Chen unconscious and threatened him with death, forcing Qing Yan Jing's Spiritual Energy Avatar to appear.

Qing Yan Jing had originally intended to slap you to death, but paused for a moment when she saw you take out an item containing Ling Xi's aura. She then began speaking with you.

During the conversation, you threatened Ling Xi's life and demanded that Qing Yan Jing hand over the Great Pagoda Art Yin Scroll. Qing Yan Jing did not hesitate in the slightest and handed it to you.

You cautiously took the Yin Scroll. The instant you touched it, before you had time to react, you were locked in place by a Spirit Array. Then, a vast amount of memories flew out of your mind...

Qing Yan Jing stated that setting up this Soul-Seeking Array had indeed taken her some time...

You gave a helpless smile, then respectfully bowed to Qing Yan Jing. Under her astonished gaze, you called her Grandmaster and promptly self-detonated, dying.

This simulation has ended--

You may choose one of the following three items.

One, Heavenly Flame Divine Art (low-grade divine-level art)

Two, Great Cang Spirit Array Diagram (fifth-level Spirit Array Diagram, incomplete)

Three, Great Pagoda Art Yin Scroll

It's finally in my hands.

Lu Yu sighed, then chose the third option with a thought.

Hum!

An ancient and mysterious white scroll appeared out of thin air and slowly unfurled. On its surface, black runes flowed like wandering dragons, faintly radiating a might that suppressed heaven and earth.

Great Pagoda Art Yin Scroll!

"With this, together with Mu Chen's Yang Scroll, I'll have the complete orthodox Great Pagoda Art."

Brilliant light flickered in Lu Yu's eyes. He reached out and grasped the scroll, which instantly transformed into a streak of light and entered his brow.

In an instant, a vast amount of information surged into his mind, causing his body to stiffen for a moment.

"Next, I should go find Xiao Yi Xian."

"With the Great Pagoda Art's ability to seal all things, dealing with a Calamity Poison Body will be more than easy."
