[Clouds and mist wreathed Heavenly Sword Peak, presenting a thousand magnificent vistas.]
[As the strongest power in the Human Realm, Heavenly Sword Peak stood at its center. Beneath it lay the realm's ancestral vein, a fifth-tier middle-grade vein.]
[In the ancient era, the Human Realm's ancestral vein gathered the essence of heaven and earth, reaching the quasi-sixth tier.]
[Only when the standing of heaven and earth declined did it fall to fifth-tier middle-grade.]
[Even so, the ancestral vein remained the greatest spirit vein in the Human Realm.]
[You sat cross-legged and opened your eyes. The memories of the two thousand years since this simulation began flashed through your mind, stirring a sigh of emotion.]

[Two thousand years was already a long time to you.]
[Only your sixth simulation had lasted slightly longer than two thousand years. The first five simulations combined had amounted to just two or three thousand years.]
