"Convert 60 Medium-grade Spirit Stones into energy."
[Converted. Current energy: 60700 points.]
"Then convert it into simulation attempts. Begin the simulation."
[Conversion complete.] [You currently have 1 simulation attempt.] [Simulation beginning. Please choose one of the following three identities, or choose none and begin the simulation directly.] [Identity One, Son of the Su Clan Immortal Clan Patriarch (Deep White): You are the patriarch's son of the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, the Su Clan. However, due to internal clan strife, you were displaced from childhood and only settled down after being adopted by a farming household. You possess the Su Clan's inheritance jade pendant. As long as you return to the Su Clan, you can acknowledge your ancestors and return to your roots.] [Talents: 1. Inferior Lightning Spiritual Root (Pure White): You possess the rare variant spiritual root, the Lightning Spiritual Root. Unfortunately, its quality is merely ordinary. 2. Lightning Affinity (Pure White): Your resistance to lightning is stronger than that of ordinary people. You are less likely to be struck dead by lightning, and can absorb traces of lightning's power while being electrocuted.] [Abilities: None.] [Identity Two, Short-Lived (Light Green): You are a natural Short-Lived. Your lifespan drains away at an extreme rate, but this greater rate of consumption also grants you faster thinking and cultivation efficiency.] [Talents: 1. Lifespan Burning Body (Light Green): You possess a Lifespan Burning Body. Your lifespan is consumed four times faster than normal, while your thinking speed and cultivation speed are five times that of ordinary people. 2. Inferior Fire Burning Spiritual Root (Deep White): A variant of the Fire Spirit Root. Your spiritual power possesses burning properties.] [Abilities: None.] [Identity Three, Reincarnation of the Unlucky Star (Pure White): You are someone inherently lacking in fortune. Misfortune is more likely to befall you, but after suffering too much bad luck, things will reverse.] [Talents: 1. When Extremes Meet, Fortune Arrives (Pure White): The fortune of heaven and earth is balanced. After suffering misfortune 648 times in succession, a great opportunity will inevitably descend upon you. 2. Innate Unlucky Body (Light Gray): You possess an Innate Unlucky Body. Misfortunes that ordinary people rarely encounter are everyday occurrences for you. You have had cold water get stuck between your teeth ten times in a single day.] [Ability: Ears Hear in Four Directions, Eyes See in Eight (Light White): Having been unlucky since childhood, you have developed extraordinary powers of observation. Compared to others, you can always be the first to notice when an accident is about to strike.]
Su Yang had no choice among these three identities. He could only choose the second.
The first identity was not only of little use, but choosing it would mean providing poverty relief to the Su Clan Immortal Clan.
The third identity guaranteed a great opportunity after 648 bouts of misfortune.
That was somewhat tempting to Su Yang.
However, he also understood that if he chose that identity, he would absolutely not live to see that great opportunity arrive.
It was nothing more than dangling a painted cake before him.
The second identity, built around its talents, was different.
Though it came at the cost of a shortened lifespan, its talents were effectively raised by a whole tier compared to normal circumstances.
That way, his status as a sword disciple would truly live up to its name, at least on the surface.
"Choose Identity Two and simulate," Su Yang said decisively.
[You have chosen Identity Two.] [Loading current region...] [Loading chosen identity...] [Simulation begins.] [At age 16, aboard True Monarch Mingyang's Flying Boat, your unique talent, the Lifespan Burning Body, awakened. The rate at which your lifespan drained accelerated.] [Less than half a day later, you arrived at the Tianjian Sect and directly chose to join Sun Sword Peak.] [Venerable Mingyang was overjoyed and decided to find you a good master.] [Three days later, Venerable Blazing Sun appeared at the initiation ceremony and accepted you as his disciple. You immediately agreed.] [Venerable Blazing Sun told you that he frequently entered seclusion and did not have much time to guide you. If you had any questions, go to Gu Changfeng.] [That very night, you went to Gu Changfeng and asked about your future cultivation path, hoping to conceal the fact that you had already mastered numerous second-tier spells.] [After learning of your foundation in first-tier spells, Gu Changfeng was delighted and recommended second-tier spells suited to you. Sure enough, they were exactly the same as the ones you were currently cultivating.] [A day later, you went to the Sword Tomb to select a treasure. This time, you did not choose the Star Sun Sword, instead deliberately selecting a sword that appeared to have been forged from purple gold.] [You obtained the fifth-tier spiritual treasure, the Purple Meteor Sword.] [Gu Changfeng and True Monarch Mingyang both envied your good fortune.] [Spiritual treasures possess spirits. With it on your person, it was equivalent to having a peak Nascent Soul cultivator protecting you at close quarters.] [Therefore, Venerable Blazing Sun did not grant you a life-saving divine ability. Instead, he gave you a simplified method for cultivating a divine ability. In theory, one could hope to cultivate it successfully at Foundation Establishment.] [You obtained the cultivation method for the lesser divine ability, Flame Burst Battle Body, but did not attempt to cultivate it.] [You had already noticed something abnormal about your lifespan. What you needed to do now was break through, break through, and break through again!] [At age 17, you broke through to the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment.]
"Fast, far too fast!"
Su Yang exclaimed in admiration.
At the Foundation Establishment realm, aside from him, who else could break through one realm in a single year?
[Venerable Mingyang was startled by your cultivation speed and believed that you truly were an unparalleled heavenly prodigy.] [Sect Master Venerable Moon Sword personally came to see you and gave you a thorough round of encouragement.] [At age 18, you broke through to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment.] [At age 20, you broke through to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment.] [At age 21, after consuming a True Yang Flower once again, you felt that your affinity with the yang attribute had clearly increased. You developed the True Yang Body (Pure White).]
"A Pure White physique can be born in just five years?"
"According to the treatment the Tianjian Sect gives its sword disciples, the True Yang Flower allocation lasts for a total of 72 years."
"Could finishing them all produce a physique talent of green quality?"
"That's truly unbelievable!"
[At age 22, you broke through to the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment.] [At this point, you already knew that breaking through to the Golden Core realm with your cultivation speed would be effortless. You should aim higher.] [You increased the time you spent cultivating Origin Spells and second-tier sword techniques.] [At the same time, you asked Gu Changfeng whether the sect possessed any treasures that could increase one's origin.] [Gu Changfeng told you that after you broke through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, the sect would distribute an Origin Set, which could directly raise the quality of your future Golden Core by one grade.] [You sensed the deep foundations of the Tianjian Sect and marveled inwardly.] [At age 23, your second second-tier sword technique broke past its limit, strengthening your foundation.] [At age 24, you broke through to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.] [At age 25, your first Origin Spell reached completion, increasing your origin.] [At age 26, Venerable Blazing Sun emerged from seclusion and met with you. He was somewhat disappointed to discover that you had not cultivated the Flame Burst Divine Ability, but he still earnestly guided you. Your third second-tier sword technique broke past its limit, strengthening your foundation.] [At age 28, you broke through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment and applied to the sect for the Origin Set.] [The sect approved your application and granted you three second-tier Origin Pills, one opportunity to temper your body in the Origin Realm, and Venerable Qingyuan, who had cultivated an Origin Divine Ability, personally emerged from seclusion to enhance your origin once.] [Afterward, you consumed the three Origin Pills, greatly strengthening your origin.] [At age 30, the Origin Realm opened. You discovered that besides yourself, more than ten others had entered the Origin Realm, including disciples from other Spirit Transformation sects.] [A female cultivator from the Wuliang Sect named Ji Yuehua learned of your status as a sword disciple from her elders and wished to challenge you.] [You gave her no chance. The Purple Meteor Sword shot forth directly.] [She was frightened to tears.]
