[Identity One, Moon God Descendant (True Green): You possessed one hundred-millionth of the bloodline of the Innate Deity, the Moon God, of this world. Your talent in Yin attributes was greatly enhanced, while your talent in Yang attributes was moderately suppressed. Bathed in moonlight, your combat power was unrivaled.] [Talents: 1. Genuine Yin Spiritual Root (Light Green): You possessed the mutated spiritual root, the Yin Spiritual Root, of Genuine quality. Your cultivation in Yin attributes advanced a thousand miles in a day.] [2. Lesser Yin Body (Light Green): You possessed a Lesser Yin Body, greatly enhancing your Yin-attribute talent.] [3. Moon Radiance Body (Light Green): You were the moon's favored child. Under moonlight, your combat power would be greatly enhanced.] [Abilities: None] [Identity Two, Son of the Crimson Fox (Deep White): Though you were human, you had been raised by a second-order crimson fox since childhood. Having grown up in the wilderness, you possessed numerous abilities.] [Talent: Beast Affinity (True White): You had possessed the talent of Beast Affinity since childhood. Ordinary ferocious beasts felt close to you and would not attack you proactively. Low-level demon beasts would also feel affinity toward you, greatly reducing the chances of them attacking you.] [Abilities: 1. Beast Intuition (True White): You possessed instincts comparable to those of a beast, allowing you to sense many dangers in advance. In the wilderness, your survival ability was greatly enhanced.] [2. Eat Raw Meat and Drink Blood (Deep Gray): Your body could sustain a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.] [3. Hunting Mastery (Deep Gray): You possessed formidable hunting abilities in the wild and could trace animals through the marks they left behind.] [Identity Three, Orphan of the Lan Clan (Light Green): On the surface, you came from a farming household, but in truth, you were a descendant of the Lan Clan, a great Nascent Soul family from three thousand years ago. You possessed the key to the Lan Clan Treasure Vault. Once you reached the Golden Core realm, you could open the Lan Clan Treasure Vault and obtain the immense wealth left behind by the Lan Clan. However, this would draw the attention of the enemies who had once destroyed the Lan Clan.] [Talents: 1. Talent for Formations (True White): You possessed a certain talent for formations.] [2. Inferior Fire Spirit Root (True White): You possessed an inferior Fire Spirit Root and could embark on the immortal path.] [3. Nascent Soul Bloodline (Light White): You were a descendant of a Nascent Soul expert, and your cultivation talent was slightly enhanced.] [Abilities: 1. First-Order Formation Master (True White): You were a First-Order Formation Master and could set up ordinary first-order formations.] [2. Locate Position and Acupuncture Point (Light White): You possessed some knowledge of geography and terrain and could locate a certain treasure.]
"These three identities?"
Su Yang fell into thought.
There was no need to consider the Deep White Son of the Crimson Fox. It could hardly offer him any help at all.
That left only the Moon God Descendant and Orphan of the Lan Clan identities.
Among them, Su Yang found the Moon God Descendant identity very tempting.
But this identity came with a negative effect: it would moderately suppress Yang-attribute talent.
His current spiritual root was a Genuine Yang Spiritual Root. If he chose this talent, his Yang Spiritual Root would probably only be able to display the effects of an inferior spiritual root.
Enhancing Yin attributes while weakening Yang attributes was a bit of a loss outweighing the gain.
But giving up Identity One and choosing Identity Three did not seem particularly suitable either.
In terms of talent, Identity Three would not provide him with much improvement.
After reaching the Golden Core realm, he could obtain an immense fortune, but he would also provoke an enemy force at the Nascent Soul level.
If the simulation could allow the Tianjian Sect to avoid being destroyed by the Pillar Reaching Heaven,
then a Nascent Soul-level enemy could be completely disregarded.
Unfortunately, he had no confidence in that.
After all, he was only the Tianjian Sect Sword Child, not the Tianjian Sect Master.
Besides, even if he were the Sect Master, moving the sect away from its ancestral grounds might not necessarily succeed.
"What a dilemma!"
It was the first time Su Yang did not know which one to choose.
Though the quality of these two identities differed, after weighing them, their usefulness to Su Yang was not too far apart.
Both were useful, but not all that useful—or came with risks.
"I'll choose Orphan of the Lan Clan after all!"
Su Yang made his decision. He had thought of another angle.

This was not about the simulation, but reality.
With the three million spirit stones obtained from True Monarch Yunshan, he was destined not to lack simulation energy during the Foundation Establishment realm.
But after reaching the Golden Core realm, three million spirit stones would be nothing worth mentioning.
The Sword Child identity could grant him vast resources.
But those resources would surely flow on endlessly, handed over bit by bit as he progressed.
It was almost impossible to obtain all the energy required for Golden Core realm simulations in one go.
Then, once this simulation ended, if he had enough Simulation Points to exchange for Identity Three, would his future Golden Core simulation resources not be settled as well?
As for provoking a Nascent Soul force in reality?
As long as the Tianjian Sect remained standing, an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator amounted to nothing to him.
"Choose Identity Three for the simulation," Su Yang said.
[You have selected Identity Three.] [Loading current region.] [Loading selected identity.] [Simulation begins.] [At sixteen, you became the Tianjian Sect Sword Child. True Monarch Mingyang came to receive you and obtained three million spirit stones in compensation for you. You were overjoyed, feeling that your great vengeance for the destruction of your clan finally had hope of being repaid.] [Half a day later, you arrived at the Tianjian Sect and met the Tianjian Sect Master and a group of Nascent Soul-level experts.] [According to the rules, you needed to choose a major peak or a department of equivalent rank to join.] [You felt that True Monarch Mingyang had treated you well, and Sun Sword Peak was highly suited to your spiritual root, so you chose to join Sun Sword Peak.] [True Monarch Mingyang was very pleased and said he would help you find a suitable master. You were also filled with anticipation.] [Three days later, during your sect-entry ceremony, Venerable Blazing Sun, a Spirit Transformation ancestor of Sun Sword Peak, awakened from seclusion and decided to take you as his disciple.] [You were overjoyed and felt that True Monarch Mingyang was truly reliable, so you agreed at once.]
"So I was taken as a disciple by a Spirit Transformation cultivator just like that. The gap between a Sword Child and a True Disciple really is enormous."
Seeing this, Su Yang could not help sighing.
True Disciples had to display their talent and potential if they wished to take an elder as their master.
Yet once a Sword Child joined the sect, a Deity Transformation Venerable directly took him as a disciple.
Though True Monarch Mingyang had helped push things along, it also showed the immense potential represented by the Sword Child identity.
"However... my Sword Child identity... my talent and potential aren't actually that strong. I wonder what will happen later!"
He had obtained the Sword Child identity mainly because he had exchanged for cultivation through the simulator.
Simulated Su Yang did not have the aid of the simulation system.
He could only rely on himself.
Judging purely by talent and potential, Simulated Su Yang was only at the level of a True Disciple—at most among the more outstanding ones. He was still far from a Sword Child.
[After Venerable Blazing Sun accepted your tea and kowtow, he formally took you into his lineage.] [At the same time, he told you that he spent long periods at the summit of Sun Sword Peak comprehending the transformations of the great sun and rarely had time to guide you. If you encountered problems in cultivation, you should ask your senior brother, Gu Changfeng, the Third Elder of Sun Sword Peak. He was highly gifted at guiding others in cultivation.]
"Gu Changfeng?"
Su Yang froze.
Wasn't that his cheap master from the last simulation?
This time, he had actually become his senior brother.
And if he had cultivation problems, he was still supposed to seek him out.
Did he share some fated bond with him?
