[You chose to train your body, but you also understood that you had only been born recently and were still too frail, so you did not dare train too intensely.]
[Time passed. You lived alone in this unknown cave, and you felt loneliness. Endless solitude enveloped you, making you immerse yourself even more deeply in books.]
[Gradually, the restlessness in your heart faded into calm, and you began adapting to everything.]
[Before you knew it, you were already six years old. You were fortunate. Over those six years, you had never fallen ill or encountered any accidents. You had successfully survived.]
[At this point, your physical fitness had reached a state far beyond what it had been before you transmigrated. You understood that you had met the standard for "cultivation."]
[You successfully sensed the existence of external energy and began absorbing it to strengthen yourself.]
[Your physical fitness advanced by leaps and bounds.]
[At the age of nine, you had already reached the peak of Mortal Rank. Your powerful body felt absurd. Before transmigrating, you would have been like Superman, but according to the books, you understood that you were still very weak in the Endless Continent. Any wild beast outside could take your life.]
[At twelve, you naturally broke through that bottleneck and reached Force Rank.]
[To your delight, you discovered that you could finally open the World Ring left behind by your father. Upon entering it, you were utterly astonished. There was an incredibly real world inside. Although your consciousness was not strong enough to see the entire world, the densely piled mountains of items within made you understand the true value of one-tenth of the treasures accumulated by your clan.]
[Among the many treasures, you found more cultivation manuals. When choosing one, you selected the Black Light Blade Technique created by your father.]
[After opening the World Ring, your life also became more colorful. Every day, you sorted through treasures and searched for more books to read.]
[Then one day, you noticed something was wrong. Among the many books, you found one summarizing cultivation realms. You discovered that many cultivation requirements seemed familiar, such as domains, laws, and so on.]
[You realized that the place you had transmigrated to seemed to be the Swallowed Star World.]
[You began searching for more evidence. Gradually, you determined that you had indeed transmigrated to the Swallowed Star World. The realm called Force Rank in the Endless Continent was actually Planetary Rank.]
[This discovery made you sigh, but it did not greatly affect your life. You still strengthened yourself every day.]
[With the treasures left by your clan, your evolutionary rank rose rapidly. At twenty-one, you broke through to Flying Rank, which was Star Rank.]
[At thirty-two, you reached Sky Rank, which was Universe Rank.]
[Before you knew it, you were already at the peak of Universe Rank Level 9. However, you had yet to comprehend a domain, so you could not break through. At this point, you chose: one, continue waiting. Two, go out to explore and temper yourself.]
"Go temper yourself."
Zhou Yu sighed and made his choice.
Given the current simulation, even the hope of breaking through to Immortal was unimaginably slim, practically nonexistent. Becoming a Venerable was even less likely.
If he kept waiting, he would simply be waiting to die.
He could only place his faith in the luck of a "Child of Luck" and go out to temper himself.
[After reaching the bottleneck, you also realized that it was time to leave. Although you, at the peak of Universe Rank, were still an inconspicuous ant in the Endless Continent, you actually possessed some ability to protect yourself. You would not be killed by just any wild beast.]
[You were unsure whether people from hostile clans still remained outside, so you prepared to leave through the surrounding stone passages. Among more than a dozen stone passages, you relied on your intuition and casually chose one to enter.]
[There was not a trace of light inside the passage, and it was incomparably narrow and long. You advanced cautiously. Before you knew it, several months had passed. You were shocked. During this time, you seemed to have been walking downward the entire way, and even you had no idea how deep you had gone.]
[You gritted your teeth and continued forward. Then, one day, you were suddenly attacked. Your attacker was a Rock Lifeform at the peak of Universe Rank. Fortunately, you had already grown stronger by then. With treasures and combat secret techniques far superior to those of the Rock Lifeform, you easily killed it.]
[After looting the treasures on the Rock Lifeform, you continued onward. Before long, your vision suddenly opened up. This was an incomparably vast underground space, so vast that you could not see its end. Not far away lay a pool of seven-colored water. Seven-colored radiance illuminated the surrounding space. The pool was empty, with only a single lotus growing at its center.]
[You immediately realized that it was some kind of treasure. While delighted, you were also extremely wary. This was a treasure you had never seen even in the many books you had read. By common sense, the more powerful a treasure was, the more likely a powerful guardian would be nearby.]
[At this point, you chose: one, pretend you had not seen it and leave immediately. Two, investigate it.]
"Investigate it." Zhou Yu made his choice directly. At this point, he could only rely on the luck of a "Child of Luck." Without some fortuitous encounter, this simulation was bound to fail.
[You chose to approach the pool. As you drew closer, you discovered that your body began to feel light and airy, as though it had suddenly cast off the burdens of countless years. You quickly realized that this was not a bodily sensation, but that your soul had been cleansed.]
[When you carefully approached, however, nothing happened. At this moment, a bold idea arose in your heart. The Rock Lifeform you had killed earlier might have been the guardian here.]
[Having encountered no danger, you began studying the pool water and the lotus. You judged that the lotus should be some kind of treasure beneficial to the soul and was now about to mature. The pool water was also extraordinary, containing abundant energy and vitality. It was even better than the finest treasure left behind by your clan. You found it unbelievable.]
[You waited by the pool. Under the illumination of the seven-colored radiance, you felt the bottleneck that had long trapped you finally loosen. You successfully comprehended a domain.]
[A year later, the Mysterious Lotus fully bloomed, revealing a crystalline Seven-Colored Pearl. You felt the yearning of your soul and swallowed the pearl directly.]
[You fell unconscious.]
[A full thousand years passed before you awoke. You discovered that you had unknowingly reached Domain Lord Rank. Your soul had undergone some sort of transformation. Manuals that had once seemed difficult and obscure now felt many times simpler.]
[You were overjoyed. You had long since grown accustomed to loneliness, so you simply began consolidating yourself within this cave.]
[The level of your domain rose rapidly. You gradually began comprehending laws as well. At the same time, relying on the pool water that contained dense energy and vitality, your evolutionary rank also increased rapidly.]
[A hundred years later, you broke through to World Lord Rank. When the pool water was nearly depleted, you reached the peak of World Lord Rank.]
[At this point, you understood that it was time to leave. You had long discovered that another path connected to this vast space. At this point, you chose: one, return the way you came. Two, continue forward along the other path.]
"Keep going forward."
After thinking it over, Zhou Yu still chose option two. Perhaps there were other opportunities ahead.
As Zhou Yu made his choice, numerous memories flooded into his mind. This amount of memory was nothing to Zhou Yu, but from those memories, he also concluded that the "lotus" was definitely an extremely terrifying treasure.
"The three soul-type treasures I consumed in the Divine General Kongguang inheritance combined probably could not compare to even a single strand of this lotus." Zhou Yu finally understood. This treasure was at least comparable to a heavy treasure.
The "Child of Luck" was indeed still working its magic.
Although the beginning had been poor, as long as there were enough opportunities, it could still be made up for.
The simulation continued.
[You chose to continue forward. You proceeded all the way along the other passage. This time, you felt that you were constantly heading upward. You were very cautious, so your pace was not fast.]
[After walking for an entire year, you finally reached the end of the passage.]
[You discovered that outside was an endless swamp, surrounded by incomparably dense mist. The mist was extremely strange. Even with your vision at the peak of World Lord Rank, you could not see the scenery outside. You could only use your world projection to observe the surroundings.]
[You quickly determined that you were within Mist Swamp, one of the ten great danger zones of the Endless Continent.]
[You understood that Mist Swamp was not somewhere you could stay for long, so you immediately decided to return the way you came.]
[But at that moment, an inexplicable summons suddenly appeared in your heart.]
[You were somewhat startled. At this point, you chose: one, go take a look. Two, ignore the voice.]
"Go take a look." Zhou Yu made his choice.
[You ultimately chose to take the risk and head over.]
[You cautiously advanced some distance through Mist Swamp and finally discovered the source of the summons. You found that it was a broken shuttle.]
[You felt that the shuttle looked somewhat familiar. Then you suddenly remembered seeing in a book that the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, the weapon of the Human Race clan chief of the Endless Continent, looked somewhat similar to the shuttle before you.]
[But before you could think any further, a phantom floated up from the broken shuttle. An elderly figure appeared before you. Although you had never seen him, you quickly recognized him as the former clan chief of the Human Race in the Endless Continent. It was precisely because of his disappearance that hostile clans had launched their attack.]
[At this point, the former clan chief told you that he had long since died. What remained here was merely a wisp of consciousness, and it would soon dissipate.]
[You told the former clan chief that the clan had been destroyed. He was filled with self-reproach, but he also told you that it was not beyond remedy. Not far ahead, an enormous opportunity was waiting for you.]
[Only then did you finally learn the full story. It turned out that the former clan chief had discovered an unimaginably heaven-defying lifeform in Mist Swamp. Though that lifeform was merely at World Lord Rank, its strength surpassed that of ordinary Immortals. The former clan chief had been incredibly excited and wanted to capture it and return to the clan. As long as someone could seize its body, the Human Race would quickly rise to prominence in the Endless Continent.]
[Unfortunately, the former clan chief had underestimated the terror of that lifeform. It suddenly unleashed an incomparably terrifying attack, instantly killing him. But before his death, the former clan chief had also unleashed his strongest soul attack, severely wounding that lifeform.]
[Only then did you understand. This should have been a Special Lifeform with an extremely high genetic level. It must have possessed a terrifying innate secret technique that allowed it to unleash attacks far beyond its own rank. That was how it had killed the former clan chief.]
[You also realized that the guardian of the Mysterious Lotus might not have been that Rock Lifeform, but this Special Lifeform! It was only because it had been severely wounded by the former clan chief and could not return to its nest that you had gained such an enormous bargain.]
[The former clan chief's wisp of consciousness could no longer hold on and was about to dissipate. In the end, he asked you to restore the clan if you succeeded in seizing the body. You agreed.]
[After the former clan chief's consciousness dissipated, you put away his damaged weapon. At this point, you chose: one, go straight ahead and take a look. Two, make thorough preparations before going.]
"Two."
After thinking it over, Zhou Yu still chose option two.
Judging by the situation, that Special Lifeform had most likely suffered extremely severe soul damage. Otherwise, it would not have been unable to return to its nearby nest.
After all, an incomparably heaven-defying soul treasure was being nurtured in that nest. If it consumed it, its soul injuries would most likely be healed.
But no matter what, it was still necessary to prepare for the worst. Otherwise, if things went wrong, it would be a tragedy.
