Identity Selection, The Deterrent Power of a Tianjian Sect Disciple

"These three identities are all green. This is a sure win." Su Yang's face lit up with joy.

With green identities, this simulation should be smoother than the last one.

And he wouldn't waste the beginner's benefits after the simulation ended.

Now, the question was which one to choose.

"Identity two, Spirit Wood Reincarnation?"

Su Yang thought for a moment and dismissed it.

Although it was also an identity of green or higher, it couldn't compare to Identity One in terms of talent and background, nor was it as helpful to himself as Identity Three.

Between One and Three, Su Yang still leaned towards Identity One.

Even though Identity Three looked like the standard for a protagonist.

But its influence was limited, and there were too many children of destiny in the same generation, 128 of them.

The cultivation world considered 60 years as one generation, which was roughly the time it took for a talented cultivator to go from birth to Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, there would inevitably be children of destiny from different generations coexisting.

This meant the number of coexisting children of destiny wouldn't be 128, but hundreds or even thousands.

Children of destiny's luck seemed powerful, turning misfortune into fortune and danger into blessings.

However, according to the Simulator's description, they were useless against irresistible forces or children of destiny of the same or higher level.

What was an irresistible force?

You are in Qi Cultivation, and I am in Foundation Establishment. If I want to kill you, and there are no strong individuals around to stop me.

That is an irresistible force.

Children of destiny could at most grasp opportunities more easily than others when there was a chance of survival.

Moreover, the talent for Identity Three was either immeasurable or would only be fully revealed over time.

Take spiritual roots, for example.

At over 30 years old, even with a genuine spiritual root, it would be difficult to enter the core of a major power and receive cultivation.

Identity One was different.

A True Disciple of the hegemonic sect on Qixia Island.

And one who had been registered since childhood, do you understand the value of a sect's direct lineage?

As for how strong the hegemonic sect on Qixia Island was.

Let's put it this way.

Chuyun Kingdom was rumored to have a Nascent Soul ancestor, yet it was only one of the three major powers at the junction of the Chixia Mountain Range and the Qingxia Mountain Range.

And the Chixia Mountain Range and Qingxia Mountain Range were merely two major branches of the Seven Radiance Mountain Range.

The region influenced by the Seven Clouds Mountain Range was only about one-third of Qixia Island.

The Tianjian Sect was the hegemonic power of Qixia Island, its fame shaking the entire Qixia Island. You can imagine how powerful it was!

It could at least be equivalent to dozens of Chuyun Kingdoms.

"System, select Identity One."

[You have selected Identity One] [Loading current region...] [Loading simulation identity...] [Simulation begins.] [Age 16, you wake up to find yourself sleeping in a coffin.] [You recall what happened before and feel extremely ashamed.] [While experiencing life, you were ambushed by a disciple of a small sect and knocked unconscious.] [You were even buried in a grave by a bunch of mortals.] [You are furious and casually break open the coffin and grave, then walk out.] [A quarter of an hour later, you return to your rented room.] [You find many people searching your room for valuables.] [You recognize them; they are official members of the Medicine Gang, a small gang you temporarily joined.] [They have discovered you.]

[At first, they thought you were a zombie and retreated in fear.] [But after confirming you were alive, they all resumed their ferocious expressions, taking what they had and leaving. Some even came forward to demand where you kept your valuables.] [You smile. You no longer intend to experience life, and besides, you discovered the true nature of the Medicine Gang during your experience, so there's nothing more to say.]

With a wave of your sleeve, your Magical Power swept in all directions, killing almost everyone in the house, leaving only one survivor: Old Wang, who had guided you into the Medicine Gang.

Old Wang was utterly shocked. You were also a powerful cultivator! However, he thought you were insane. Daring to kill people so brazenly in the market would surely result in your dismemberment by the Qingye Market's enforcement team.

You told Old Wang to deliver a message to the Medicine Gang's higher-ups: in one hour, you would take their lives!

Old Wang quickly scurried away.

You calmly made yourself a cup of tea in the house and dug up the Spirit Stones you had casually buried under the jujube tree.

Only then did you leisurely walk towards the Medicine Gang leader's courtyard.

An hour passed, and you arrived at your destination.

Old Wang had not failed you. The three Medicine Gang leaders and a host of core members were all gathered here.

In addition to them, the Qingye Market's enforcement team was also waiting.

Seeing that you actually dared to come, Old Wang laughed heartily, directly stating that you were courting death.

The Medicine Gang leader then slipped a small bag of Spirit Stones to the enforcement team's squad leader, requesting permission to handle this internal matter themselves.

The squad leader weighed the Spirit Stones and agreed.

The Medicine Gang leader didn't send his subordinates to their deaths and attacked directly. At that moment, a sword light flashed, and the Medicine Gang leader's head flew into the sky. His body fell powerlessly to the ground, blood still gushing from his neck. He was dead.

The entire scene fell silent. The other Medicine Gang members were filled with terror and fear, frantically begging the enforcement team to intervene. However, the enforcement team didn't dare to. None of them had seen how you drew your sword.

If they couldn't see it, how could they possibly be your opponent?

You continued to swing your sword, and everyone in the Medicine Gang was fleeing, but not a single one escaped.

Before long, only a courtyard full of corpses and a few standing enforcement team members remained.

You didn't kill them, but as you walked towards them, they shouted in fear, "You have violated Qingye Market's rules! Surrender now, and you might still have a chance at survival."

You smiled and decided to stop pretending. "I am a true disciple of the Tianjian Sect."

You threw the Tianjian True Disciple Token at them.

Upon seeing the two characters "Tianjian" on the token and feeling the profound sword intent emanating from it, their shouts abruptly ceased.

They might never have seen anyone from the Tianjian Sect in their lives, but they had to recognize the token.

With the Heavenly Sword Record, anyone on Qixia Island could potentially be a disciple of the Tianjian Sect.

There was a past incident where a Golden Core True Person killed a beggar who had been bestowed a Tianjian Token, only to be swiftly killed himself, and his entire family annihilated.

The enforcement team members prostrated themselves on the ground, begging for your forgiveness.

Not long after, several Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators who managed Qingye Market personally arrived, bowing and scraping as they apologized to you.

You simply stated that you were dissatisfied with Qingye Market's attitude towards ordinary mortals.

Qingye Market then underwent a massive purge. All forces that had previously oppressed mortals were investigated. At best, they were fined into bankruptcy; at worst, they were directly annihilated.

The Sect Master of the Huaye Sect also came to Qingye Market to visit you, carrying the outer disciple who had once knocked you unconscious. Behind him knelt all the friends, family, and fellow disciples of that outer disciple.

You told the Huaye Sect Master to handle it as he saw fit.

Within a few breaths, they all committed suicide.

The Huaye Sect Master also presented you with a large sum of resources, which even included a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Comfortable, so comfortable.

Su Yang nodded repeatedly.

What is status?

This is status!

A disciple offended you, and the Sect Master personally came to apologize.

And the disciple and all related individuals committed suicide.

Leaving no room for criticism.

"To get by in this world, you really need influence and backing!"

Su Yang sighed.

If this simulation had been like the previous two, where he was an ordinary person or a member of a small force, the Huaye Sect would never have bowed their heads and apologized.

A nobody like that, daring to act presumptuously in their territory, would have been lucky not to have their tendons ripped out.

[Not long after, you left Qingye Market. You felt that your years of experience outside were nearly complete, and it was time to formally join the Tianjian Sect.]
