[Simulation subject: Chu Qi, reincarnation of Saint King, a person of great destiny.]

[Due to host intervention, the other party's fate trajectory has changed. The minimum investment required for simulation is 800,000 points, and the maximum investment is 1.5 million Eternal Point Count. The more points invested, the more detailed the simulation content and the better the settlement rewards. Investing too little may terminate the simulation prematurely.]

"Goodness... with such a huge consumption, the simulated rewards definitely won't be bad."

Han Xuanji was secretly shocked.

To be honest, I've never accumulated this many points before.

His current savings are definitely not enough to cover the payments.

"Fortunately, after reaching the Sage Realm Stage, my daily income increased tenfold..."

Han Xuanji doesn't have that many points right now, but she's not in a hurry.

After all, signing in also requires points. As for simulations, as long as you keep Chu Qi by your side, you can accumulate enough points to try the highest level of simulation in one go.

Han Xuanji followed the Sword Venerable Wuxin forward, with Chu Qi following behind. Although Chu Qi was only at the Chaos Realm, he was still a cultivator.

He followed half a step to Han Xuanji, his gaze occasionally stealing a glance at the Sword Venerable Wuxin ahead.

Although he couldn't recognize the identity of the Sword Dao Saint Venerable, the faint but powerful aura emanating from the other party made him dare not utter a sound. Even just seeing his back made his heart pound with fear.

" Xuanji, you're new to the Sword Pavilion, why don't I show you around first?"

"The Sword Venerable Wuxin said softly."

"Thank you, Sword Master."

Han Xuanji nodded slightly, naturally not refusing this kind offer.

Along the way, the scenery of Heart Sword Peak is completely different from that at the foot of the mountain.

Below the mountainside lies a dense forest of sword bamboo, each stalk straight as a sword, its joints gleaming with a cold, silvery light.

In an open area within the forest stood countless stone tablets, each engraved with sword marks. Some sword marks were several inches deep, while others were as faint as smoke, clearly the work of sword cultivators of different levels.

Further up the mountain path, some halls and pavilions began to appear on both sides. They were not large in scale, but each one exuded an extremely strong aura of Sword Dao.

Disciples of the Heart Sword Pavilion moved back and forth between the pavilions, while others sparred and practiced their skills in groups of three or five on the dueling platform.

Many people noticed Sword Venerable Wuxin and Han Xuanji's group, and stopped what they were doing, bowing respectfully from a distance.

When their gazes fell upon Han Xuanji, each person's eyes were filled with undisguised envy and curiosity. They had clearly recognized the identity of the Sword Venerable Wuxin. Even if they did not know the identities of Han Xuanji and Chu Qi, they could still see the implications.

Han Xuanji glanced at the dueling arena and found that the overall Sword Dao level of the Heart Sword Pavilion disciples was indeed extremely high, far surpassing that of ordinary forces.

Among those disciples who sparred, some were only at the Eternal True God Realm, but each had their own unique skill in Sword Dao.

Suddenly, a series of dense rumbling sounds came from ahead.

The sound was deep and rapid, like thunder rolling in the clouds, or like a thousand troops charging in a narrow valley.

Han Xuanji looked up and saw two figures fiercely clashing on a huge sword platform in the distance.

One of them was a tall, slender man with long black hair, wielding a broadsword. Every swing of his sword carried a resolute determination to cut through everything.

His opponent had three heads and six arms, each arm wielding a weapon of a different form. His attacks were like a storm, but no matter how hard he tried, the black-haired man's Sword Force remained as steady as a rock.

With his final strike, the black-haired man brought his greatsword down in a vertical slash, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment where the blade passed.

The opponent, with three heads and six arms, was sent flying by a single sword strike, tumbling several times in the air before finally regaining his footing.

Han Xuanji nodded secretly.

The black-haired man possessed extremely high cultivation, reaching the level of Eternal Sage. Moreover, his Sword Intent carried a dignified and upright kingly aura, impartial and honorable.

The Sword Venerable Wuxin seemed to notice Han Xuanji's gaze as well, and introduced with a smile:

"That's Si Xing, a genius swordsman from my Heart Sword Pavilion. Speaking of which, his Sword Dao is extraordinary. Back then, he gained the recognition of the Wordless Sword Stele and left his own nine-zhang sword stele in the Sword Stele Forest. The one who broke his record was Chen Xin's sword stele, which was a full nine zhang and nine jiu tall."

Han Xuanji's heart stirred, and he was about to ask what the Wordless Sword Stele was when the black-haired man noticed the commotion.

He turned his head and looked over. His gaze fell on the Sword Venerable Wuxin, and his eyes lit up immediately. He rushed over in three steps.

"Sword Master, is this the new junior brother?"

Si Xing bowed respectfully to Sword Venerable Wuxin, then looked at Han Xuanji with undisguised curiosity and enthusiasm in his eyes.

Han Xuanji shook his head and introduced himself:

"My name is Han Xuanji. I am only here to study at the Sword Pavilion and am not considered a member of its Sword Pavilion circle."

He said this in a calm tone, but his meaning was quite clear.

He came to the Sword Pavilion to exchange cultivation ideas and had no intention of changing his sect.

The Immeasurable Saint Emperor had shown him great favor, and he couldn't possibly switch allegiance to someone else so easily.

Si Xing was slightly taken aback, then suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead in realization:

" Han Xuanji, Young Venerable Han! The one from the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet!"

He looked Han Xuanji up and down several times, his smile growing even more eager.

"I've long admired your name. I heard that Junior Brother Chen lost to you at the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet. He's usually quite arrogant, and there aren't many people he can Qi Ingestion. When would you have time to spar with me? Don't refuse."

Hearing Si Xing's overly familiar manner, the Sword Venerable Wuxin frowned and reprimanded him:

" Si Xing, Xuanji just arrived at the Sword Pavilion, what's the rush? Hurry up and start cultivating."

Si Xing wasn't annoyed by the reprimand; instead, he chuckled, winked at Han Xuanji, and whispered:

" Young Venerable Han, the Sword Master is just stubborn but soft-hearted, don't take it to heart. I'll treat you to drinks another day, and we can talk it over."

After saying this, he bowed to the Sword Venerable Wuxin, turned around and flew back to the stone platform to continue fighting his next opponent.

His laughter echoed across the stone slab, carrying a hearty and unpretentious quality.

Han Xuanji watched his retreating figure and formed a good impression of him.

The Sword Venerable Wuxin shook his head, a hint of helpless laughter in his voice:

"Don't let his carefree and jovial demeanor fool you, this guy is actually a born Sword Fanatic. He often gives pointers to inner and even outer disciples, and he won't look down on them no matter how weak they are. Instead, he will patiently analyze and dismantle their sword techniques."

His passion for Sword Dao is second to none.

He's kind of a... 'good guy'.

Han Xuanji nodded; he could feel Si Xing's heartfelt enthusiasm.

The fact that a top-tier swordsman at the level of Eternal Sage can maintain such patience towards the weak demonstrates that this person is upright and honest, and that their Sword Dao is naturally righteous as well.

Han Xuanji then asked the Sword Venerable Wuxin a question out of curiosity:

"May I ask, Sword Master, what is this Wordless Sword Stele?"
