[Identity Two, Human-Demon Hybrid (Dark White): One of your formidable ancestors left Demon Beast Bloodline for his descendants. After passing down through tens of thousands of years, it had originally become exceedingly thin, but when it came to you, the bloodline reverted to its ancestors. As you grew older, the Demon Beast Bloodline would gradually reveal itself.] [Talents: 1, Inferior Gold Spirit Root (Light White): You possessed an inferior Gold Spirit Root and could enter the immortal path, but it would be difficult for you to ever surpass Qi Refining Layer 2 in your lifetime. 2, Pseudo-Demon Vein (Pure White): You possessed demon veins like those of demon beasts and could use them to step into the extraordinary, but as your cultivation grew, demon beast traits would gradually reveal themselves. 3, Near-Demon Physique (Pure White): As you grew older, your Demon Beast Bloodline would gradually increase, with a great chance of advancing your demon veins.] [Ability: None] [Identity Three, Purple Cloud Mountain Heir (Dark White): You had displayed extraordinary talent in childhood and caught the eye of the Purple Cloud Mountain Master. He decided to take you as his disciple, but because you were still young, he could not bear to separate you from your parents. He decided to accept you into the sect once you turned twelve. However, on his way back, the Purple Cloud Mountain Master was ambushed and killed by evil cultivators, and he never sent this news back to the sect. You held the token and Qi Gathering Technique left behind by the Purple Cloud Mountain Master. If you used them to travel to Purple Cloud Mountain, you could become Purple Cloud Mountain's legitimate heir.] [Talents: 1, Inferior Fire Spirit Root (Dark White): You possessed a top-grade inferior Fire Spirit Root and could enter the immortal path. 2, Talent for Swordsmanship (Pure White): You possessed a certain talent for swordsmanship.] [Ability: Qi Gathering (Dark Gray): A technique you had cultivated since childhood. It could strengthen your body and lay a foundation for immortal cultivation.]

"There wasn't even a single green identity among these three!"

Su Yang was somewhat disappointed. He had originally thought he might simulate a green identity and sweep through all opposition.

Now it seemed that green identities truly were not so easy to obtain.

Or rather, they were not so easy to obtain at the current Simulator Level.

Yes, the simulator had levels as well. The current simulator was Level 0.

Upgrading it was simple enough.

As the number of simulations increased, its level would rise as well.

To reach Level 1 now, he only needed five simulations.

After upgrading, the odds of obtaining high-quality identities would increase.

Of course, even without upgrading, it was still possible to get orange or red identities.

It was simply that the chances were as slim as a strand of hair.

"Without a green identity, which of these three should I choose?"

"The first is only a dark gray identity. It just gives me a large sum of money and an old steward—useless. Eliminated!"

For cultivators who had formally stepped onto the path of immortal cultivation, mortal wealth was nothing but useless stuff.

It was easy to exchange spirit stones for mortal wealth, but trying to exchange them the other way around was harder than climbing to the heavens.

"The second identity is somewhat interesting! The first talent needs no consideration, but the second and third talents complement each other. There's a high chance they'll cause the second talent to evolve in the future. It might even become a dark gray talent, or perhaps green or higher!"

"What a pity. I still want to be human. I don't want to turn into a demon beast, and there's no soil here for demon beasts to survive in either!"

Su Yang shook his head. As far as he knew, humanity held an absolute advantage within the territory of the Chuyun Kingdom and several other major powers.

Demon beasts could only survive in hidden corners of desolate wildernesses.

"Then I can only choose Identity Three."

"The identity of a successor to an immortal cultivation force, along with dark white cultivation talent!"

"Even among dark white identities, this should count as top-tier."

"I just don't know what level of immortal cultivation force Purple Cloud Mountain is."

"However, judging from the quality of my identity, it's most likely not strong!"

"Never mind. I'll know once I simulate it!"

"Choose Number Three for the simulation," Su Yang said.

[You have selected Identity Three.] [Loading identity...] [Loading current region...] [Simulation begins.] [At age sixteen, while you took a nap, someone buried you in a grave.] [You were furious. As a Qi Refining Layer 3 cultivator, you could not afford to provoke disciples of the Huaye Sect, but could you not afford to provoke a mere Medicine Gang?] [After blasting open the grave, you headed straight for Qingye Market to inquire about the Medicine Gang.] [The result was that you truly could not afford to provoke them.] [The gang leader's cultivation had reached Qi Refining Layer 5, while the two deputy gang leaders were no weaker than you. Most importantly, they were all battle cultivators who had cultivated several combat spells.] [You secretly hated them. A few days later, you found an opportunity to retaliate against a large number of ordinary people and martial artists from the Medicine Gang, then completely exposed the Medicine Gang's profit-making scheme.] [After seeing a great number of ordinary people come to their senses, you quietly left Qingye Market.] [For a time, you actually had no idea where you should go.] [At this moment, you recalled what your father had told you before his death.] [The Purple Cloud Mountain Master should have accepted you as his disciple when you turned twelve, but for some unknown reason, he had never come. However, he had left you a token and the Qi Gathering Technique. If you took the initiative to find Purple Cloud Mountain, you might encounter an opportunity.] [You made up your mind and arrived at Honghua Market, not far from Qingye Market, to begin asking after Purple Cloud Mountain.] [Not long afterward, you learned that Purple Cloud Mountain was a top-tier Qi Refining force that had fallen from the ranks of Foundation Establishment forces. It was located in Fengyuan Prefecture of the Chuyun Kingdom. As for their mountain master, Purple Cloud Mountain's only Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had been ambushed and killed by bandit cultivators twelve years ago.] [You mourned for your cheap master for one minute, then hurried toward Purple Cloud Mountain.] [Three months later, you finally arrived outside Purple Cloud Mountain's gates.] [You took out the token and explained your identity to the disciples guarding the mountain.] [The entire sect was shaken. The Four Great Elders guarding the sect all appeared and began verifying your identity.] [Not long afterward, they confirmed that you were the inheritor left behind by the previous mountain master.] [You became a True Disciple of Purple Cloud Mountain.] [After the current mountain master received news of you, he swiftly rushed back as well.] [He patted your shoulder and told you to come to him whenever you needed anything. He also said that as long as you reached Qi Refining Layer 10, he would pass the position of mountain master to you.] [You were deeply moved and recalled your grudge against the Medicine Gang.] [Please choose.] [1, Tell the mountain master about your enmity with the Medicine Gang and have him avenge you.] [2, A man's grudges should be avenged by himself. Cultivate diligently, then retaliate once your cultivation reaches great success.] [3, You wish to be broad-minded. Let that little grudge with the Medicine Gang drift away with the wind!]

"These three options..." Su Yang swept his gaze over them slightly and made his decision.

"Choose the first."

How long would he have to wait if he chose the second?

As for the third, he was not a petty person, but neither was he generous to that extent.

[You told the mountain master that you hoped he would help you avenge a small grudge.] [He said there was no problem.] [You told him about your enmity with the Medicine Gang of Qingye Market.] [The mountain master was shocked. He had not expected that Qingye Market, such a large Market Town, would have a force that oppressed ordinary people like this.] [He immediately went to Qingye Market in person. Three months later, he brought you the good news of the Medicine Gang's destruction.] [Although by this time, you had also learned that Qi Refining had only nine layers.] [You also understood that merely relying on the master-disciple agreement verbally established by the previous mountain master and your father could not possibly make the current mountain master hand over his position so easily.] [You began cultivating diligently.] [Two years later, you broke through to Qi Refining Layer 4.] [At this moment, news suddenly arrived that the mountain master had returned to the mountain severely wounded and was already at death's door. He urgently summoned you.]
