Where the Cunning Insect's True Form Lies!

[Activate Talent: I Want It All!]

"Activate!"

The next moment, Su Ming's cultivation directly increased to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

His Great Void Sword Intent reached the realm of Sword Heart Clarity, and the Talent of Sword Dao Supreme allowed him to truly feel his understanding of the sword dao.

At the same time, the Cunning Insect within his body attacked his Primordial Spirit again.

Seeing this, Su Ming let out a cold snort.

The Great Void Sword Intent directly dispersed the Cunning Insect's aura, but strangely, Su Ming couldn't find where the Cunning Insect was within his body no matter how hard he looked.

It felt as if the Cunning Insect had never existed, yet it always returned after each breakthrough.

"Forget it, maybe I'll find out why when my cultivation is higher later."

Su Ming glanced at the cooldown time on the simulator.

[Simulation Cooldown: Fifteen Days]

"Huh? It takes fifteen days to simulate after breaking through to Nascent Soul..."

Looking at the fifteen-day cooldown, a hint of helplessness flashed in Su Ming's eyes.

Since he couldn't simulate now and no new quests had appeared, he didn't know what to do for a while.

"How about... I just go to Youzhou?"

After much thought, Su Ming decided that going to Youzhou was the best plan for now.

At this stage, he didn't want to go to the Qin Kingdom to directly kill Lin Qi and Ye Chuxue, who lived next door.

He wanted to see the results of the next simulation.

With that thought, he found Ye Chuxue directly.

"Chuxue, I'm going to Youzhou for a while. It'll be two years at the shortest, and five or six years at the longest."

Ye Chuxue looked at his cold eyes and swallowed the words that were about to come out.

She didn't know why he had changed so much in such a short time. Hearing that he was going to Youzhou, she didn't ask for the reason, only nodded in response.

Seeing this, Su Ming did not, as he had in the simulation, leave the resources he had plundered from the Qingyun Sect for her.

A month later, Su Ming arrived at the Sword Pavilion in Youzhou.

The scene before him was the same as in his simulation; the Sword Pavilion was recruiting disciples.

Su Ming concealed his aura, suppressing his cultivation to Qi Refining ninth layer.

Three hours later, it was finally his turn for the assessment.

Lin Tian led him to a stone tablet, and the assessment began immediately.

Su Ming looked at the stone tablet before him, the corners of his mouth curving upwards slightly. The moment he closed his eyes, he resonated with the Sword Qi on the stone tablet.

Lin Tian, who had just turned to leave, suddenly felt a familiar Sword Qi and abruptly turned back.

The moment he turned, he saw Su Ming looking at him with a smile.

"What the heck, you communicated with the Sword Intent in the stone tablet right off the bat?"

Lin Tian looked at Su Ming as if he were a monster.

"Is it that difficult? I just closed my eyes to feel the stone tablet, and somehow I resonated with it!"

"I..."

"Come with me!"

The next second, Lin Tian pulled Su Ming and rushed to the Sword Pavilion's branch store without stopping.

"Pavilion Master! I've found a peerless genius for you this year! The Sword Pavilion finally has a new recruit!"

"Pavilion Master! Pavilion Master?"

"Alright, Eighth Brother! I already know, you may withdraw."

As soon as the voice fell, a white-haired old man walked into the main hall.

Su Ming looked at the old man before him, who perfectly matched the image of the Sword Pavilion Master in his memory.

"Young friend! Your talent is rarely seen in my life, but you don't need to hide your cultivation from me. You're already at Nascent Soul Middle Stage at such a young age."

As soon as he said this, Su Ming inwardly let out a wry smile.

As expected, the Sword Pavilion Master saw through his cultivation at a glance.

"Pavilion Master has sharp eyes. This junior merely wishes to join the Sword Pavilion and resist the Cunning Insects together!"

Upon hearing this, the Sword Pavilion Master looked at Su Ming with surprise.

"You know about it?"

"Naturally, I know that Cunning Insects cannot cultivate Sword Intent."

Su Ming looked directly into the Sword Pavilion Master's eyes and said confidently.

"Very good! Welcome to the Sword Pavilion!"

"There is a stone wall in the back mountain of my Sword Pavilion, covered with the Sword Intent cultivated by past generations of cultivators. I suggest you go and cultivate there."

After Su Ming left the main hall, Lin Tian led him to a thatched hut.

"Junior Brother! This will be your residence from now on. Currently, only the Pavilion Master and I are in the Sword Pavilion; all other Senior Brothers and Sisters are away."

"Alright, Senior Brother Lin. You can go about your business!"

After arriving at the thatched hut, Su Ming perfunctorily dismissed Lin Tian.

He had very important matters to attend to. The fifteen-day simulation cooldown, which had been extended to a month due to travel, had passed.

He didn't want to waste any more time.

"Start simulation!"

[Simulation Start!]

[Drawing Random Talent!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Orange Talent: True Sight!]

[True Sight: Can see through all truths in the world!]

[After obtaining True Sight, you suddenly saw through many things.]

[The first thing you discovered was the trace of a Cunning Insect within your body. You had spent considerable effort searching for it before without success.]

[Seeing the Cunning Insect, which had already merged with your Dantian, a sense of despair washed over you.]

[You lamented, no wonder you couldn't find it before, because your Dantian was the entire Cunning Insect.]

[Seeing this reality, you were at a loss.]

[You realized that the Cunning Insect could not be killed. Killing it would mean the destruction of your cultivation.]

[Even if you could cultivate again, you would still face the predicament of being parasitized by the Cunning Insect once more.]

[First Year: You toiled away in the Sword Pavilion for a year, but your cultivation still hadn't broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.]

[On this day, you found Lin Tian and asked about the whereabouts of Fifth Senior Sister Gu Xinyue.]

["Fifth Senior Sister? If I recall correctly, she seems to be in the Pill Sect..."]

["But why are you looking for Senior Sister Gu, Junior Brother?"]

[Lin Tian looked at you curiously. You had only been here for a year and hadn't met anyone else from the Sword Pavilion besides him.]

[You were momentarily unsure how to respond, so you casually made up an excuse.]

["Uh, I think I met Fifth Senior Sister before, but I didn't know she was from the Sword Pavilion."]

[Lin Tian looked at you suspiciously, clearly not believing your explanation.]

["I advise you to give up, Junior Brother. Senior Sister Gu's Sword Dao talent is extraordinary, and her alchemy skills are equally impressive."]

[Lin Tian said, patting your shoulder as he advised.]

["So! Junior Brother, it's best not to look for Senior Sister Gu. It's difficult for ordinary people to make progress in the Pill Sect!"]

[You looked at Lin Tian and said calmly.]

["Senior Brother Lin, I am also an alchemist, and a Third-grade Alchemist at that!"]

["Oh, I know you're an alchemi... What? You're a Third-grade Alchemist?"]

[Lin Tian looked at you in shock. He thought your Sword Dao talent was already rare in history, but he never expected your alchemy talent to be so high.]

["Fifth Senior Sister is only a Fourth-grade Alchemist, and you're already a Third-grade Alchemist?"]

[You felt a little embarrassed by Lin Tian's praise.]

[You really wanted to tell him that you hadn't practiced alchemy in a long time, otherwise you would at least be a Fifth-grade Alchemist by now.]

["That's why I wanted to find Senior Sister Gu!"]
