Brutal War, Simulation Ends

Nine Deity Transformation Venerables and eight Demon Venerables reached a reconciliation in time, and even the two Venerables from the Demonic Sect felt threatened.

They came to an alliance proactively.

The Qixia Cultivator Alliance was established.

The first thing they did was to summon a large number of cultivators to prepare for war with Fenghua Island.

As one of the forces, the Lan Clan Immortal Family, you were also conscripted.

You entered the allied forces of the Qixia Cultivator Alliance.

You discovered that True Persons and True Monarchs were everywhere, and Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators were as common as stray dogs.

There was no place for Qi Cultivation cultivators to stand; the lowest realm of the conscripted cultivators was Foundation Establishment.

True Monarch Mingyang, as one of Qixia Island's few Deity Transformation combat powers, became the commander of an army. He used his authority to transfer you under his command.

As soon as they met, he told you that your senior brother, Gu Changfeng, had been killed by Venerable Black Wing, a Deity Transformation Venerable from Fenghua Island, because he had been staying at the Wuliang Sect headquarters some time ago.

You were heartbroken and wanted to avenge Gu Changfeng.

But your strength was insufficient. You no longer slacked off and made up your mind to cultivate diligently.

You asked True Monarch Mingyang if he knew the reason for the outbreak of the war.

He told you that it all had to do with the Pillar Reaching Heaven that destroyed the Tianjian Sect.

It turned out that the Pillar Reaching Heaven that descended over 100 years ago not only destroyed the Tianjian Sect on Qixia Island but also destroyed the core of Fenghua Island.

Since then, Fenghua Island's spiritual energy began to dissipate, its spiritual vein levels dropped, and the cultivation resources it produced became increasingly scarce, evolving into a land of declining magic.

To survive and to cultivate, they had to find a new place to cultivate.

Before this, they had already destroyed many small islands inhabited only by Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators.

And Qixia Island, which had lost nearly half of its high-end combat power, was their ultimate target.

Even the eight Demon Venerables' act of waging war was instigated by them.

"So that's how it is!"

Su Yang understood.

No wonder Qixia Island, which had been peaceful for tens of thousands of years, was suddenly invaded by external islands.

It turned out to be because of that Pillar Reaching Heaven.

"What exactly is the Pillar of Heaven? The last simulation said it was caused by a terrifying existence passing by.

Why were not only Qixia Island but also Fenghua Island affected? Was it also passed by?

Were even more islands affected?"

Su Yang wanted to find out.

However, the scope of his current simulation was still limited to Qixia Island.

The sea was too dangerous; it would be impossible to leave the island until the simulated Su Yang reached the Nascent Soul stage.

[At 185 years old, the first formal battle between Qixia Island and Fengming Island broke out.]

A scroll unfolded before Su Yang's eyes.

On a vast and boundless plain, two dense masses of cultivators stood facing each other.

Below were countless Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, while above were thousands of Nascent Soul True Monarchs and dozens of Deity Transformation Venerables.

Suddenly, the battle erupted.

Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators formed great formations and, under the command of Nascent Souls, attacked the enemy.

The great formations of both sides continuously collided and rubbed against each other.

Every moment, formations were torn apart, and every second, cultivators fell.

Suddenly, the Deity Transformation Venerables also made their move.

Terrifying auras erupted, and with a single strike, they tore apart several great formations.

Thousands of cultivators died by their hands.

Su Yang's eyelids twitched as he watched.

The most ordinary people dying here were Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators like him right now.

Golden Core True Persons and Nascent Soul True Monarchs with higher cultivation also died in considerable numbers.

Fortunately, the simulated Su Yang was arranged by True Monarch Mingyang in the core of a formation led by a Nascent Soul overlord.

Even Deity Transformation Venerables could not easily attack that area.

True Monarch Mingyang's figure appeared on the screen.

His entire body erupted with sharp sword energy, like a fifth-tier sword-type spiritual treasure. He firmly blocked in front of a Deity Transformation Venerable.

Although the Deity Transformation Venerable could suppress him, they could not kill him.

This was the terrifying power of top-tier divine abilities related to the physical body.

If it's a great divine ability, even if it's just entering the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation, one can defeat an ordinary Deity Transformation Venerable.

Simulation continues.

[The first great war ended, both sides suffered heavy losses. On the Fenghua Island side, several Deity Transformation Venerables were even severely wounded by the Heavenly Sword Record, which the Purple Star Demon Lord had repaired.]

[Both sides tacitly slowed down the intensity of the war, only engaging in small-scale battles below the Deity Transformation stage.]

[Age 196, you gained a trace of the true meaning of wind during a great war.]

[Age 203, you comprehended the Wind Intent.]

[Age 208, you broke through to Foundation Establishment layer three.]

[Age 211, using the battle merits you accumulated over decades, you exchanged for a third-tier Spirit Breaking Pill, and you broke through to Foundation Establishment layer four.]

[Age 218, the second large-scale war broke out. This battle was even more brutal than the first. Two Demon Venerables from Qixia Island perished, and Fenghua Island also lost three Deity Transformation Venerables.]

[You comprehended the Fire Intent during this great war.]

[Age 220, you exchanged Spirit Stones for many treasures, and you cultivated the simplified divine ability Wind Fire Wings to the first layer.]

[Your speed greatly increased.]

[Age 223, your eldest son came to the front line to see you. He is already a Foundation Establishment cultivator.]

[He told you that the Lan Clan Immortal Family has over 200 disciples with spiritual roots, which made you feel gratified.]

[You gave him a sum of resources to take back to the clan and develop well.]

[Age 250, you broke through to Golden Core layer 5.]

[Age 268, the third great war broke out, and it was the most brutal one. Nearly half of the Deity Transformation Venerables on both sides perished, and less than one in ten cultivators below Nascent Soul survived. During this battle, True Monarch Mingyang finally broke through and became a new Deity Transformation Venerable.]

[After the war, both sides discovered that the current total spiritual energy of Qixia Island could support the coexistence of both sides.]

[Both sides declared a truce.]

[Tianjian Lake and the Western Regions Plateau were allocated to the Fenghua Island cultivators.]

[Although the war stopped, the hatred caused by the war between the two sides still existed.]

[This was merely a compromise born of desperation from both sides.]

[You could finally return to the Lan Clan Immortal Family.]

[You discovered that the number of cultivators in the Lan Clan Immortal Family had already exceeded a thousand, and several Foundation Establishment cultivators had also been born.]

[Age 270, Venerable Mingyang invited you to witness the ceremony. He found a good location in the Chixiao Mountain Range and prepared to rebuild the Tianjian Sect.]

[You happily went.]

[The Tianjian Sect was re-established.]

[Age 298, you broke through to Golden Core layer six.]

[You began to feel anxious. At this rate, you might not be able to cultivate to the Golden Core peak before the age of 500.]

[You found True Monarch Mingyang and asked if he had any methods to speed up cultivation.]

[He told you that unless you encountered heavenly treasures, there was no way to speed up cultivation through the righteous path. There was a way through the evil path, but it would damage your foundation and reduce the possibility of breaking through to Nascent Soul.]

[You could only leave with regret.]

[In the following time, you cultivated desperately.]

[But haste makes waste.]

[You were severely injured by a cultivation backlash, and your foundation was damaged.]

[You readjusted your mindset.]

[Age 302, with the help of your Spirit Stones, your injuries healed.]

[Age 357, you broke through to Golden Core layer 7.]

[Age 389, during an outing, several Golden Core True Persons ambushed you.]

[After a fierce battle, you successfully counter-killed your opponents, but you were severely injured again.]

[You discovered their identities from their belongings.]

[You found out they were disciples of the Wang Clan Immortal Clan who had been transferred away back then.]

[They had achieved success in their cultivation and came to seek revenge.]

[You found the hidden location of the remaining disciples of the Wang Clan Immortal Clan and killed them all while in a severely injured state.]

[You eliminated the hidden danger, but your injuries worsened.]

[True Monarch Mingyang used a fourth-tier spirit pill to help you heal your injuries.]

[Your injuries recovered, but the damage to your foundation could not be restored.]

[Age 413, you broke through to Golden Core layer eight.]

[Age 487, you broke through to Golden Core layer nine.]

[Age 522, you finally reached the Golden Core peak and could attempt to break through to Nascent Soul.]

[At this time, your lifespan is already more than half over, your body's origin has begun to weaken, and your chances of breaking through have greatly decreased, but there is still a possibility of breaking through to the Nascent Soul.]

[Please choose.]

[1, Attempt breakthrough on your own (Extremely high chance of failure, failure will result in certain death.)]

[2, Use Nascent Soul Pill to assist breakthrough, with Venerable Mingyang providing protection. (Relatively high chance of failure, but survival is highly probable upon failure.)]

[3, Give up on breakthrough. (No risk)]

"Choose two."

Su Yang made his decision without any hesitation.

He wanted the simulated Su Yang to take a chance.

What if it succeeded?

[You have arrived at the Tianjian Sect and sought Venerable Mingyang's protection.]

[You took the Nascent Soul Pill and began your breakthrough.]

[One year later, your breakthrough failed, your Golden Core shattered, but under the dual protection of the Nascent Soul Pill and Venerable Mingyang, you managed to barely maintain your Golden Core strength.]

"As expected, it still failed."

Outside the simulation, Su Yang shook his head but wasn't discouraged.

After all, this was something he had anticipated.

[You began to repair your Golden Core.]

[You used many Spirit Stones to purchase a large quantity of related treasures and elixirs.]

[At 598 years old, your Golden Core was finally repaired, but unless you encountered an earth-shattering opportunity, you no longer had any possibility of breaking through to the Nascent Soul.]

[You began to focus on cultivating the younger generation of your family and your own skills.]

[At 630 years old, although you lacked relevant talent, with your profound cultivation, you still became a Tier 1 Alchemist, a Tier 1 Artifact Refiner, and a Tier 1 Talisman Master.]

[At 660 years old, your family finally produced a new Golden Core True Person besides you; he is your seventh-generation grandson.]

[Thus, the family's legacy was secured.]

[At 678 years old, you refined a Tier 2 formation, becoming a Tier 2 Formation Master.]

[At 702 years old, your divine ability, Wind Fire Wings, broke through to the second level.]

[Your speed greatly increased, comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.]

[At 752 years old, you became a mid-tier Tier 2 Formation Master.]

[At 800 years old, you were old and frail. Several severe injuries sustained in your youth had depleted your life essence, and you felt you might not live to the Golden Core's lifespan limit of a thousand years.]

[At 848 years old, you became a high-tier Tier 2 Formation Master, but you also felt that this was the limit of your talent. Unless your cultivation had a major breakthrough, formations would be difficult to advance further.]

[At 900 years old, you compiled all your life's learning into books and scrolls, leaving them for your family.]

[At 952 years old, you felt your life was nearing its end.]

[True Monarch Mingyang came to see you. He told you that the spiritual energy of the entire world had begun to fluctuate violently, and perhaps a great era was about to descend.]

[You smiled. What does this have to do with an old man like you who is about to die?]

[He said that was true.]

[You finally called him "Brother Mingyang" and asked him to look after your descendants to some extent.]

[He agreed.]

[You departed with a smile.]

[You died.]

[Simulation ended.]

[Generating evaluation.]

[Settling simulation points.]
