"Could it have been the one capable of suppressing and controlling the previous Strange Lifeform? Does it possess intelligence?"
It was no wonder Su Yang thought so.
According to the information Venerable Moon Sword had provided in the simulation,
these Strange Lifeforms instinctively pursued closer things containing greater amounts of spiritual energy.
Whether by distance or by the energy contained within her body,
Venerable Moon Sword should have been more attractive to it than Simulated Su Yang.
[You hurriedly retreated while preparing to activate the divine ability talismans.] [Meanwhile, Venerable Moon Sword hastily formed a hand seal.] [You saw a bright moon rise from her body.] [Then moonlight shone down.] [Immediately afterward, a phantom a million times larger than her body appeared, absorbed the moonlight, and gradually solidified, blocking the second Strange Lifeform.] [Venerable Moon Sword activated the Great Divine Ability, Moonlight Dharma Body.] [Strange Lifeform No. 2 was struck until it ached all over. Enraged, it immediately abandoned you.]
"So it wasn't it."
Seeing this, Su Yang came to a conclusion.
"It looks like there's another lifeform hidden in the dark that can control them."
"That does confirm my earlier guess."
[You discovered that although the two Strange Lifeforms were difficult to kill, their strength was clearly a notch below Venerable Moon Sword's.] [Now, Venerable Moon Sword had gained the upper hand against two opponents and firmly suppressed them.]
"If there really is a hidden controller next,"
"then it will either reveal itself and join the battle, or find a way to get those two Strange Lifeforms out of there," Su Yang surmised.
If it were him, he would not simply watch two forces that could be considered powerful even among Spirit Transformation cultivators get slowly worn to death by Venerable Moon Sword.
Sure enough.
[You saw the water surface begin to churn violently once more.] [An ominous feeling arose in your heart.] [You rapidly fled in the opposite direction.] [A third Strange Lifeform with an even more powerful aura burst out from beneath the water.] [Its body was larger than the other two, and its aura was even more terrifying.] [It was a Strange Lifeform at the peak Spirit Transformation level.] [Moreover, through the Water Mirror Technique, you noticed that its gaze contained less brutality and more liveliness.] [It possessed intelligence.]
"Just as expected, my earlier guess was right. Intelligent Strange Lifeforms really do exist."
Outside the simulation, Su Yang furrowed his brows.
Trouble.
Simulated Su Yang would most likely meet his end this time.
[The Intelligent Strange Lifeform charged straight at you the instant it appeared.] [At the same time, the other two Strange Lifeforms seemed to receive some sort of message and frantically blocked Venerable Moon Sword, who wanted to come help.] [Although you were also fleeing at top speed,] [your speed was inferior to its.] [In the blink of an eye, it was only dozens of li away from you.] [To a Spirit Transformation cultivator, that was practically face-to-face.] [You activated the divine ability talisman Venerable Qingyuan had left you.] [The Intelligent Strange Lifeform was temporarily obstructed for an instant, but quickly broke free.] [You activated the divine ability talisman Venerable Earth Traveler had left you.] [Your speed increased.] [You simultaneously activated the divine ability talismans Venerable Jade Spring and Venerable Heavenly Origin had given you.] [Useless. The Intelligent Strange Lifeform easily tore them apart.] [You activated your final divine ability talisman, Venerable Moon Sword's divine ability talisman.] [A massive phantom of Venerable Moon Sword appeared before you.] [The Great Divine Ability sealed within the talisman was Moonlight Dharma Body.] [The Intelligent Strange Lifeform was temporarily blocked.] [You seized the opportunity to flee.] [Venerable Moon Sword broke free from the entanglement of the other two Strange Lifeforms.] [Together with the Moonlight Dharma Body, she besieged the Intelligent Strange Lifeform.] [You knew that you would only become Venerable Moon Sword's burden here.] [You moved far away from the battlefield.]
"Simulated Su Yang actually escaped."
Even Su Yang found it unbelievable.
He continued watching the simulation.
Suddenly, his expression froze.
[A palm pierced through your chest and crushed your Nascent Soul.] [You died.] [Simulation ended.] [Evaluation is being generated.] [Simulation Points are being settled.]
Su Yang: ???
"What the hell was that? How did I die? Where did that hand come from?"
Su Yang had never expected this.
He had already escaped from right under the nose of a peak Spirit Transformation Strange Lifeform.
Yet he had actually been ambushed by a hand that suddenly appeared.
This was utterly ridiculous. It was the first time he had died so miserably.
"Don't let me find out who the owner of that hand is, or I'll definitely kill him."
Gritting his teeth, Su Yang looked toward the evaluation.
[Evaluation: Your life was brief yet brilliant.] [On Qixia Island, you were once Tianjian Sect's sole representative disciple. Most Nascent Soul True Lords could recognize your face and the aura of your divine soul.] [On Fenghua Island, you even killed Venerable Black Wing, and your reputation shook the entire island.] [Unfortunately, this also led to your final death. Venerable Thousand Mountains seized an opening when you let your guard down and ambushed you to death.]
"So it was that bastard."
Su Yang remembered this Venerable Thousand Mountains.
In the memories from the previous simulation, there had been many matters involving him.
He was one of the four high-level Spirit Transformation Venerables who had invaded Qixia Island from Fenghua Island, as well as the mountain lord of Thousand Extremes Mountain.
Simulated Su Yang had killed Thousand Extremes Mountain's Venerable Black Wing.
It was hardly surprising that the old bastard had found an opportunity to take revenge.
Still, Su Yang remembered this grudge.
"Don't let me meet you in reality after I become a Spirit Transformation Venerable, or you'll be in for a world of pain."
"For now, I should see how many Simulation Points there are."
Su Yang composed himself and looked at the system interface.
[Simulation Points settlement complete.] [1. Nascent Soul Layer One. You reached Nascent Soul Layer One and obtained 1000 Simulation Points.] [2. Lifespan: 115 years. You survived for 115 years in the simulated world and obtained 12 Simulation Points.] [3. Your fame spread across two islands. On Qixia Island, most high-level cultivators knew your name.
