Dao Integration proved elusive, Qianyun Holy Land, and the war between empires fifty years later
At 19, while diligently cultivating her skills, Murong Yue offered advice and solutions to Ling Yi Ling Yi on numerous occasions, helping him resolve many troubles and earning his Ling Yi trust. Murong Yue then revealed her ambition and cunning, gradually taking over the Shadow Gate!
[At 22, Murong Yue's cultivation reached the sixth level of the Divine Platform Realm. She expressed her affection for Ling Yi, but was rejected. Murong Yue realized it was due to her insufficient strength and diligently cultivated.]
[At 23, the Yin- Yin-Yang Five Elements Art Yin Soul Sect was exposed, leading to its joint annihilation by the five major righteous sects. Only the third elder of the Yin Soul Sect, Wang Jianyun, escaped severely injured and went into Concealment in Heavenly Wind City to recuperate. He was unexpectedly discovered by Murong Yue, who then taught him the Murong Yue -Yin-Yang Five Elements Art!]
Upon seeing this, Ling Yi knew that Murong Yue was likely going astray, and sure enough, the subsequent Simulation log confirmed Ling Yi's guess.
[ Murong Yue practiced the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art and the Ice Accumulation Art simultaneously, but the techniques conflicted, nearly causing her to suffer a qi deviation. Under Wang Jianyun's persuasion, Murong Yue abandoned the Ice Accumulation Art and switched to practicing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art.]
[At 25, Murong Yue's cultivation of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art was discovered by Ling Yi, leading to a conflict and a fierce battle. After the battle, Murong Yue, with her cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Divine Platform Realm, defeated Ling Yi Ling Yi and confessed her feelings to him again, only to be rejected!]
[At 29, the Ling Clan was completely controlled by Murong Yue. Ling Yi wanted to leave Heavenly Wind City, which enraged Murong Yue. She crippled Ling Yi's cultivation and placed him under house arrest in the Ling residence.]
At age 30, Murong Yue, using Uncle Fu as leverage, formally married Ling Yi. On their wedding day, Murong Yue was ambushed by Wang Jianyun, who devoured all her cultivation. Both Murong Yue and Ling Yi were killed by Wang Jianyun!

"Ding, please select one reward from the following three options."
"I. Cultivation Realm!"
II. Insights from Cultivation!
"III. The Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill!"
Ling Yi felt a headache coming on; what kind of bizarre ending was this?
Not only is Murong Yue dead, but Ling Yi is dead too. Although I know that the version of myself in the Simulation log doesn't have any cheat codes, this death was still too abrupt.
Also, how did Murong Yue end up as a villain?
"Choose option three!"
The next moment, Ling Yi had a pill in his hand.
The pill was half black and half white, making it look quite eerie.
"Ding! Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill. This pill can transform the Divine Platform into Yin and Yang and contain the Five Elements. When combined with the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art for cultivation, after the Dao Stele Realm, it can spontaneously generate the Yin and Yang, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Five Elements Dao Steles."
I never expected the system to provide a specific explanation this time.
"So, only by consuming the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill can one cultivate the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art?"
The system went silent again, but Ling Yi didn't think much of it.
He put away the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill; he didn't need it for cultivation.
Wouldn't it be better to directly select rewards using Reverse Simulation System?
Ling Yi silently recited in his heart. "Continue to Simulation Murong Yue's direction, cultivation, and settings. Focus solely on cultivation, with Wuxin in love!"
"Ding, 100 taels of silver deducted. Generating Simulation log, please wait."
Huh? How did it suddenly become 100 taels?
Could it be that Murong Yue reached the Body Tempering Realm in such a short time?
I checked the system and sure enough, the information on Murong Yue's character card had changed.
Murong Yue: Simulation potential of nine stars, first level of the Body Tempering Realm, can Simulation by consuming 100 taels of silver.
[At 17, a great upheaval occurred in Heavenly Wind City. Murong Yue moved into the Ling family mansion and received the Ice Accumulation Art Technique from Ling Yi, thus embarking on the path of cultivation. With the help of Ling Yi's abundant resources, she reached the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm in three days, the Great Perfection of the Five Organs Realm in one month, and the Pinnacle the Spirit Absorption Realm in three months.]
[At 18, Murong Yue developed feelings for Ling Yi, but she hid her love and focused on cultivation. With Ling Yi's help, she reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Sea Realm.]
[At 22, Murong Yue devoted herself to cultivation...]
[At 23, Murong Yue returns home to visit Murong Jin and unexpectedly encounters the severely injured Third Elder of the Yin Soul Sect, Wang Jianyun. He tries to bewitch Murong Yue with the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art, but Murong Yue kills him on the spot, obtaining the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill.]
[ Murong Yue consumed the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill and switched to cultivating the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art.]
[At 25, Ling Yi discovered that Murong Yue had mastered the Yin and Yang Five Elements cultivation technique and had consumed the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill. He didn't say much, and Murong Yue continued her cultivation, eventually breaking through to the Great Perfection the Divine Platform Realm.]
[At 29, Murong Yue broke through to the Dao Stele Realm with the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art. The six Dao Steles spontaneously generated divine platforms, directly reaching Perfection and the ninth level of the Dao Stele Realm, triggering extraordinary phenomena in heaven and earth.]
[At 32, Murong Yue's cultivation of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art and her breakthrough to the Dao Stele Realm are exposed, leading to a coalition of righteous sects attacking Heavenly Wind City.]
[ Murong Yue and Ling Yi joined forces to fight against their enemies, killing dozens of masters. At the critical moment, Lin Batian betrayed them, severely injuring Ling Yi. Murong Yue refused to leave alone and fought to the death, Bai Xin to Ling Yi before she died.]
[This Simulation is now complete!]
"Ding, please select one reward from the following three options."
"I. Cultivation Realm!"
II. Insights from Cultivation!
"III. Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill x10!"
Ling Yi hesitated for a moment.
Choosing a cultivation realm allows him to reach the Dao Stele Realm Perfection one step, entering the first tier of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
However, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill is also quite valuable. Having these ten Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill means that it is possible to train ten experts for the soon-to-be-established Shadow Gate in a short period of time.
Thinking of the Shadow Gate, Ling Yi couldn't help but think of that ungrateful wretch, Lin Batian.
This guy has probably put on quite a show over the years to gain my trust.
Without his own trust, Lin Batian would not have been able to successfully betray him.
However, Ling Yi still did not intend to kill Lin Batian now; he would wait until Lin Batian had set up his Shadow Gate before sending him on his way.
However, just in case, we need to Simulation Lin Batian once a day from now on. This guy is a talent, but he is also a ticking time bomb.
"System, could you temporarily save the Simulation rewards so I can select them later when needed?"
"Ding, do you want to save the current reward options?"
Ling Yi's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected it to actually work. He quickly said, "Save it!"
The system is becoming more and more user-friendly; it seems there are still many features to be developed.
Murong Yue doesn't need to Simulation for now; she can do it after her strength improves.
"System, Simulation Lin Batian's direction, cultivation, settings, and obtain the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill!"
"Ding, 1000 taels of silver deducted. Generating Simulation log, please wait."
Lin Batian always manages to bring Ling Yi some surprises.
The Heaven and Earth Ring from last time contained a vast amount of resources that Lin Batian Plunder various sects over the past hundred years in the Simulation.
It's no exaggeration to say that if Ling Yi wanted to, he could use these resources to build a powerful and wealthy sect!
[At 42, Lin Batian, who thought victory was assured, had his fate Reversal after Ling Yi's return, becoming a retainer of the Ling family. Despite Ling Yi's repeated warnings, he still secretly obtained the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art of Twin Camel Mountain!]
[When Ling Yi discovered that Lin Batian was practicing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art Technique, he didn't blame him. Instead, he gave Lin Batian a Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill. After much hesitation, Lin Batian decided to take the risk and consume it.]
[In the same year, Lin Batian's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the ninth level of the Spirit Absorption Realm. He also founded the Shadow Gate and found nine exceptionally talented youths for Ling Yi.]
[At 43, Lin Batian's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the fourth level of the Spirit Accumulation Realm. He also discovered that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art could further enhance the functions of the five internal organs after reaching the Five Organs Realm, and the toxicity of the Undying Pill was weakening.]
[ Lin Batian discovered that with Ling Yi's help, Murong Yue's cultivation had Divine Speed, reaching the Spirit Sea Realm in less than two years, which made Lin Batian feel even more threatened.]
[At 44, under Lin Batian's management, the Shadow Gate grew increasingly powerful. At the same time, Ling Yi Lin Batian discovered that the techniques Ling Yi taught the Shadow Gate Shadow Guards were all core techniques from various major sects, which Dawei surprised him.]
[At 45, Lin Batian's cultivation level broke through to the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, nearing the Divine Platform. In the same year, his Shadow received news that 20 years later, the Qianyun Holy Land would launch Battle of Heaven's Chosen, with generous rewards!]
[At 47 years old, Lin Batian's cultivation broke through to the Divine Platform Realm. With the help of information gathered by the Shadow Gate, he secretly absorbed the cultivation of a large number of rogue cultivators, resulting in a rapid increase in his strength.]
[In the same year, the Yin Soul Sect's cultivation of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art was exposed. The righteous Yin Soul Sect united to besiege the Yin Soul Sect, leading to its destruction. Lin Batian, using Shadow Gate Sect as a cover, Sneak Attack the Heaven and Earth Sect and the Hundred Flowers Sect Sect's strongholds under the name of the Yin Soul Sect, Plunder the treasures of both sects.]
[At 52, Lin Batian successfully broke through to the Dao Stele Realm and launched an attack on Ling Yi. He first surrounded Ling Yi and Murong Yue with hundreds of Shadow Guards, then Sneak Attack, killing Ling Yi and forcing Murong Yue to flee with serious injuries.]
I knew this guy wouldn't behave himself. This result wasn't unexpected for Ling Yi. Lin Batian without ambition wouldn't be Lin Batian.
Ling Yi kept a small grudge against Lin Batian in his mind, planning to settle it later.
[At 55, Lin Batian's cultivation has reached a bottleneck, reaching the ninth level of the Dao Stele, yet he struggles to Dao Integration. He continues to secretly develop the Shadow Gate and executes infiltration plans through Shadow Guards and Shadow!]
[At 61 years old, Lin Batian's cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and he was still unable to Dao Integration. The Shadow Gate had secretly taken control of most sects and had begun infiltrating the officialdom of the Qianyun Empire.]
[At age 65, the Battle of Heaven's Chosen in the Qianyun Holy Land begins. Lin Batian, not yet 100 years old, meets the qualifications and registers to participate. He overcomes all Battle of Heaven's Chosen and achieves a top-three finish, thus gaining Entering Sainthood.]
[At 66 years old, with the help of the Dao Enlightenment Pool in the Qianyun Holy Land, Lin Batian glimpsed a glimpse of an opportunity to Dao Integration. Coveting the Dao Enlightenment Pool, Lin Batian began to lay out his plan to infiltrate the Sacred Land.]
[At 69, the Shadow Gate infiltration plan is basically complete, lacking only a trigger. Lin Batian secretly colluded with the powerful figures of the Xuantian Holy Land of the Xuantian Empire, plotting against the Qianyun Empire.]
[At 73, Lin Batian's scheme began to take effect. The Xuantian Empire's three million-strong army pressed towards the border of the Qianyun Empire, initiating a national war. The Qianyun Empire's experts were all dispatched to the front lines, leaving its interior vulnerable.]
[At age 75, the war between the Qianyun Empire and the Xuantian Empire reached its climax. At this critical juncture, the Dao Integration Realm patriarch of the Qianyun Holy Land emerged from seclusion and rushed to the front lines. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Batian led three thousand Divine Platform Realm Shadow Guards to breach the Qianyun Holy Land.]
With the help of the Dao Enlightenment Pool, Lin Batian successfully broke through to the Dao Integration Realm First Layer, becoming a top-tier powerhouse.
[At 82 years old, after ten years of national war, both empires suffered heavy losses. Taking advantage of their weakened state, Lin Batian led tens of thousands of Shadow Gate Shadow Guards to the battlefield. No longer concealing his cultivation, he forcibly devoured several powerful experts using the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art, forcefully changing the course of the battle.]
[In the same year, the two countries made peace. Lin Batian, with his cultivation at the sixth level of the Dao Integration Realm, suppressed all those in the Qianyun Empire who refused to submit and wanted to ascend to the throne. Murong Yue, who had disappeared for more than forty years, suddenly reappeared and, with her cultivation at the Divine Ability Realm, killed Lin Batian one move.]
[This Simulation is now complete!]
"Ding, please select one reward from the following three options."
"I. Cultivation Realm!"
II. Insights from Cultivation!
"III. Divine Platform Realm Shadow Guards x500!"
Ling Yi looked at the reward options and was once again caught in a dilemma.
Is the cultivation level of the Dao Integration Realm appealing? Absolutely! It's so appealing it makes your mouth water.
Cultivation insights are also extremely valuable. Lin Batian's ability to achieve a top-three ranking in the Prodigy Battle was not solely due to his cultivation level; he must have also benefited from rich Combat experience.
That's exactly what Ling Yi lacks.
As for the last reward... is the system now even giving it to its subordinates?
Wu Bai Divine Platform Realm —does the Qianyun Empire have that many Divine Platform Realm experts?
"System, can I have both?"
If the system doesn't make a "ding" sound, then it's not working!
"System, please save this reward as well."
"Ding! The Simulation reward options have been saved!"
Ling Yi reviewed the Simulation log again and wrote down a few things.
Within three to five years, the Yin Soul Sect will be besieged and wiped out. 23 years later, the Qianyun Holy Land will hold the Battle of the Prodigies, with generous rewards and the opportunity to enter the Dao Enlightenment Pool once.
As for a national war, it may or may not happen, but Ling Yi estimates that it is highly likely to occur.
Lin Batian's strategy can only be described as bringing forward the national war.
Finally, there's Murong Yue, at the Divine Ability Realm...
