Murong Yue truly lives up to her reputation as a nine-star potential Simulation target. Although the endings of each Simulation log are not good, her potential is indeed very high.
The Divine Ability Realm —that's already the Limit.
At this moment, Ling Yi also discovered a problem: it seemed that there was no such thing as Ascension in this world.
Is the Divine Ability Realm the limit, and is there no way to Ascension?
If that's the case, wouldn't the world be full of experts at the Divine Ability Realm after all these years?
However, a review of Lin Batian's Simulation log reveals that this is not the case.
Let alone the Divine Ability Realm, there are very few experts even at the Dao Integration Realm. The entire Qianyun Empire has only three or five experts at the Dao Integration Realm, and not a single expert at the Divine Ability Realm.
If Murong Yue hadn't suddenly appeared at the end, Lin Batian might have defied fate and changed the dynasty.
So where did all the experts at the Divine Ability Realm go? Divine Ability Realm lifespan is practically limitless.
Therefore, there are only two possible outcomes: either you died, or you Ascension.
"System, Simulation Lin Batian again. Direction: Probe the secrets of the Divine Ability Realm. Settings: Proceed with discretion!"
[...]
However, the results of the next few dozen Simulation were not ideal. Lin Batian never lived past 100 years old, and his highest cultivation level was only the Dao Stele Realm.
Aside from choosing option two (reward: cultivation insight) once, Ling Yi chose option three for all other options.
"Continue the Simulation..." Ling Yi seemed determined to succeed at all costs.
"Ding! The host has completed 200 Simulation this month, reaching the Simulation limit. The Simulation limit will be refreshed at the Yueyue."
What? The Simulation attempts are gone? I've already Simulation 200 times?
Ling Yi did the math and it seemed about right; Murong Yue alone had Simulation over 140 times.
Looking at the 1,200 Shadow Guards before him, all shrouded in Black Robe and exuding a powerful Aura, Ling Yi was very satisfied.
This is part of the reward Lin Batian received after dozens of Simulation.
With 1,000 people at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm and 200 people at the ninth level of the Divine Platform Realm, this force is enough for Ling Yi to establish himself in this world.
Ling Yi asked one of the Shadow Guards, "What's your name?"
" Shadow Guards 27!"
"You all use numbers to name yourselves?"
"Yes!"
Who is No. 1?
A Shadow Guards steps forward!
Ling Yi handed over a storage ring, saying, "Here is a set of the Heaven and Earth Li Fire Grand Formation, set up around Heavenly Wind City for defense."
"From now on, you will command all these Shadow Guards. Ten men will form a squad, fifty men a platoon, one hundred men a regiment, Wu Bai men a company, and one thousand men a division. Elect their respective leaders!"
"Constantly monitor Heavenly Wind City Heavenly Wind City and everything within Wu Bai- mile radius around it."
"Also, assign two Divine Platform Realm Shadow Guards to keep an eye on Lin Batian. Do not disturb him. If he makes any improper moves, report it immediately. Go!"
"Yes!"
The twelve hundred Shadow Guards instantly soared into the sky and vanished.
"The yard is a bit small."
The Ling residence simply cannot accommodate 1200 people; most of the Shadow Guards were previously suspended in mid-air.
For the next two weeks, Ling Yi did nothing.
Ling Yi Ling Yi the development of Heavenly Wind City to Uncle Fu, and he didn't care at all whether the task was done well or poorly.
In her spare time from cultivation, Murong Yue would occasionally offer advice to Uncle Fu, displaying remarkable Wisdom.
Over time, with Ling Yi's tacit approval, Murong Yue gradually replaced Uncle Fu and slowly took over the management of Heavenly Wind City.
Although Uncle Fu was indeed loyal, he was good at defense but lacked ambition, and was not as far-sighted as Murong Yue, a woman.
As they spent more time together, Murong Yue and Ling Yi gradually became acquainted.
Murong Yue noticed that Ling Yi seemed to be indifferent to everything.
Especially the management rights of Heavenly Wind City; back then, the major families of Heavenly Wind City lost countless lives and used countless schemes and plots for it.
But Ling Yi didn't care at all.
As a result, Murong Yue's mindset also changed.
From the initial excitement and exhilaration of finally finding a stage to showcase my Wisdom when I first took control of Heavenly Wind City, to the gradual shift towards indifference, numbness, and now, aversion and frustration.
She felt like she had been fooled by Ling Yi.
Ling Yi invited her over not because he liked her as a person, but because he liked her talent.
In Ling Yi's words, they were just tools.
Ling Yi, however, became a hands-off manager.
This greatly displeased Murong Yue.
"Hey, you don't care about anything every day, leaving everything to Uncle Fu. Isn't that a bit too much?"
During breakfast, Murong Yue pouted and asked, dissatisfied.
"Isn't it because of you?" Ling Yi said with a smile after taking a sip of porridge.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll completely control Heavenly Wind City and then betray you?"
"Keep it up!" Ling Yi said casually.
Looking at Ling Yi's nonchalant, "whatever" expression, Murong Yue felt as if she had punched a piece of cotton, all her strength gone.
Aren't you worried at all?
"In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery is a joke."
Murong Yue nodded, agreeing with Ling Yi's statement, but still retorted, "When you talk about absolute strength, the emphasis is on the word 'absolute,' isn't it?"
This woman has impeccable comprehension!
"You're really smart!" Ling Yi replied dismissively.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Murong Yue rolled her eyes and turned to leave the manor.
In two days, the system's Simulation count will be reset.
For the past two weeks, Ling Yi hasn't been slacking off; instead, he's been figuring out the next steps in the Simulation.
Lin Batian only needs to conduct a few Simulation each month.
After all, Lin Batian only had six-star potential, Ling Yi didn't want to waste too many Simulation attempts on this guy.
During those two weeks, Lin Batian never stopped making underhanded moves.
The Shadow Gate plan that Ling Yi handed over to Lin Batian made absolutely no progress.
This guy is clearly slacking off.
That's why they say a villain is a villain; if a villain doesn't cause trouble, can they even be called a villain?
Ling Yi spared Lin Batian's life because the guy was ambitious and intelligent, and he wanted to recruit him. Now it seems he was overthinking things.
These kinds of people, well... how was it said again? They're born rebellious, with the look of a wolf.
Logically speaking, this kind of person should not be used or kept, but Ling Yi didn't care. Instead, he was very curious about what kind of trouble this Lin Batian, this born villain, would cause.
Occasionally Simulation something might bring some pleasant surprises.
The focus remains on Murong Yue.
The Simulation still aims to improve strength, especially the strength of the Divine Ability Realm.
Ling Yi wanted to see just how strong the power of the Divine Ability Realm was, whether there were any other realms after the Divine Ability Realm, whether Ascension was possible in this world, and why there were no Legend of Ascension.
Two days passed quickly.
After the Simulation count was refreshed and reset, I couldn't wait to open the Simulation System.
Ling Yi did not Simulation Murong Yue, but instead Simulation Lin Batian first.
Compared to Murong Yue, Ling Yi was more interested in knowing where Lin Batian's future Limit lay.
Or rather, just how far can this old guy's villainous path go?
"System, Simulation Lin Batian's direction and find the path to Ascension!"
"Ding, 1000 taels of silver deducted. Generating Simulation log, please wait..."
[At 42, Lin Batian became a servant of the Ling Clan. He received the complete cultivation method of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art Technique and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill as a reward from the young city lord, Ling Yi, greatly advancing his cultivation and breaking through to the third level of the Spirit Absorption Realm Gathering Realm.]
[ Lin Batian secretly sent men to Twin Camel Mountain to wipe out the bandits and obtained the original version of the " Yin-Yang Five Elements Art ". Lin Batian discovered that the original technique was not significantly different from the one given to him by the young city lord Ling Yi, leaving him with mixed feelings.]
[At age 43, Wang Jianyun, the third elder of the Yin Soul Sect, arrives in Heavenly Wind City in search of the whereabouts of the " Yin-Yang Five Elements Art." There, he encounters Lin Batian Lin Batian, who, with his silver tongue, lures the young city lord Ling Yi with a valuable treasure, thus plotting a collaboration.]
[While Ling Yi was out sightseeing, Wang Jianyun ambushed and killed Ling Yi in the street, but was instantly Instant Kill instead. After learning that his plan had been exposed, Lin Batian fled to Heavenly Soul Valley, where he encountered the young master of the Yin Soul Sect and joined the Yin Soul Sect.]
[At 44, Lin Batian displayed astonishing strategic talent, earning the deep trust of the young master of the Yin Soul Sect. Within a year, he rose from an outer sect guest elder to an inner sect Deacon Elder.]
[ Lin Batian knew that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art was a taboo in the Jianghu, and he also knew that the key to the Yin- Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill Yin-Yang Five Elements Art lay in the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill. He spent half a year roughly deciphering the Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill and refining it into Lesser Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill.]
[At 45, Lin Batian, using the Lesser Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill and his extraordinary abilities, secretly and gradually gained control of the Yin Soul Sect Yin Soul Sect, including its young master, murdering the sect leader and installing a puppet in power.]
[At 46, the Yin Soul Sect's practice of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art was exposed, making them a sect universally reviled in the Jianghu. Lin Batian secretly traded the Yin -Yin-Yang Five Elements Art Yin-Yang Five Elements Art to various sects, leading to its widespread distribution!]
[At 47 years old, more and more people were cultivating the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art Technique, devouring each other's cultivation and engaging in constant chaotic battles. Lin Batian gradually gained control of the Cloud Immortal Sect, Return to Origin Sect, and Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect using the Lesser Yin-Yang Five Elements Pill.]
[At 52, Lin Batian broke through to the Dao Stele Realm, destroyed the Hundred Flowers Sect, unified all the major sects in South of the Ridge, and began to lay the groundwork for Heavenly Wind City.]
[At age 53, Lin Batian led eight thousand cultivators to attack Heavenly Wind City Heavenly Wind City. The city lord's wife Murong Yue of the city to meet the attack. Lin Batian suffered a crushing defeat; less than a hundred of his eight thousand cultivators survived. Lin Batian was severely injured by Murong Yue in a single move and fled the Qianyun Empire.]
Could Lin Batian have been causing all this trouble just to get rid of him?
That's understandable. After all, Heavenly Wind City is also in South of the Ridge. How can they allow others to sleep soundly beside their own bed?
South of the Ridge refers to the south side of Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge is located in the middle of the Qianyun Empire, spanning nearly ten thousand miles from east to west, starting from the Soul Devourer Desert in the west and ending at Dragon Roar Valley, the border between the Qianyun Empire and the Mysterious North Empire in the east.
Lin Batian's ability to unify South of the Ridge within ten years is truly remarkable.
Judging from this situation, Heavenly Wind City had become a unique entity in South of the Ridge at this point.
It is indeed remarkable that the Hundred Flowers Sect was able to contend with Lin Batian for ten years.
To be honest, the Hundred Flowers Sect isn't that strong.
Based on the previous Simulation of Murong Yue and Lin Batian, the sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect seems to be named Su Yun.
The strongest among them is only at the ninth level of the Divine Platform Realm, and the total number of elders and disciples in the sect is less than a thousand.
How did the Hundred Flowers Sect manage to do that?
Could it be that Lin Batian has been reluctant to destroy the Hundred Flowers Sect are female cultivators?
That can't be right. How could someone like Lin Batian be held back by a woman? Something's fishy.
Lin Batian has not made a move against Heavenly Wind City for so many years, probably because he is too wary of it.
After all, Ling Yi's current strength is already at the ninth level of the Divine Platform Realm. If he were to extract the rewards stored in the system, he could even directly reach the Divine Ability Realm in one step.
Perhaps it was because of Ling Yi's cultivation at the ninth level of the Divine Platform Realm that Lin Batian dared not act rashly, and only after breaking through to the Dao Stele Realm did he have the confidence to attack Heavenly Wind City.
Of course, the old man's failure was to be expected.
Although Ling Yi in the Simulation didn't have any cheat codes, Ling Yi still laid a solid foundation for Heavenly Wind City from the very beginning of the Simulation.
Putting everything else aside, the resources Ling Yi controls are enough to build a large-scale cultivation sect.
But... what the heck is this "City Lord's Wife"?
