"Hmm... Hearing you say that, I'm relieved."
Hearing Han Xuanji's ambiguous answer, Mo Chenxiao felt relieved.
He knew that if Han Xuanji wasn't confident, he would have answered directly; only if he felt very confident would he say he would give it a try.
This is the "Psychology of Disciples" that he painstakingly researched and summarized.
Of course, this only applies to Han Xuanji.
Seeing her master so relaxed, Leng Qianshuang couldn't help but say:
"Junior Brother is now the ' Young Emperor,' there's no need for you to take risks. Didn't the Saint Emperor send people to investigate?"
"Also, shouldn't you be the one to handle this matter concerning your master?"
Hearing Leng Qianshuang's words, Mo Chenxiao coughed lightly and quickly added:
"I never said I wouldn't take responsibility, but this matter is of utmost importance. I have already spoken with the two elders sent by the Saint Emperor, and they are only willing to follow the orders of the Saint Emperor and Xuanji."
Here, Mo Chenxiao also explained to the two that he hadn't just been slacking off during this time, but had actually gone out to investigate.
This suggests that the Eternal Deity's actions this time are significant, as various factors have already foreshadowed this.
If not handled properly, it could very well trigger the largest war since the Peace Covenant.
"That's somewhat possible."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qianshuang calmed down considerably, her brows furrowing slightly, as if this matter was somewhat beyond her expectations.
Han Xuanji, however, said there was no need to worry about it, and calmly stated:
"If you want them to perish, let them go mad first. It doesn't matter; after all, it's the Eternal Deity who want to cause trouble. Let's play along."
Zi thought he had "Candle" to back him up, but wasn't he also backed by the Immeasurable Saint Emperor and the entire Sacred Court?
It all comes down to whose powerful backer is the best.
"Yes, according to my calculations, the beast tide will erupt in full force within the next few years."
Mo Chenxiao was well-versed in the Dao of Fate, and with the clues he had discovered, he quickly provided a fairly accurate answer.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji nodded, indicating that she understood.
He will lead his men to Thousand Souls City, which should be the main target of the beast tide. Mo Chenxiao did not stop him, after all, Han Xuanji is now a Holy Lord level expert, and he has his own ideas, so he cannot stop him.
Han Xuanji then tried to simulate Mo Chenxiao and Leng Qianshuang, and found that simulating the two of them also consumed a lot of points.
"A simulated master would cost one million, and a simulated senior sister would cost at least five hundred thousand..."
Han Xuanji also realized that the simulation function was very useful, not only offering generous rewards but also allowing her to predict future developments.
Unfortunately, it also consumes a lot of resources, which is probably related to the restrictions imposed by the rules of the Eternal Continent.
"In that case, why don't we go find Chu Qi?"
Han Xuanji pondered silently, and without hesitation, after bidding farewell to his master and senior sister, he went to the Dustless Palace and summoned Chu Qi to his side.
Ostensibly, he was teaching this young disciple a Cultivation Method, but in reality, he was secretly using a simulation function.
[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 is one million points, and the maximum investment is three million Eternal Point Count. The more you invest, the more detailed the simulation will be, and the better the rewards will be. Investing too little may terminate the simulation prematurely.]
"Prices have gone up again..."
Han Xuanji finally understood: the more money he had in his savings, the greater the consumption of this simulation would be, right?
He could easily find someone to simulate this now, and it would require at least several hundred thousand Eternal Point Count.
After a moment's thought, Han Xuanji decided to imitate Chu Qi.
After all, the other party is the reincarnation of the Undying Saint King, so the simulated rewards will probably be useful to him.
However, Han Xuanji did not intend to invest three million Eternal Point Count directly, but instead planned to invest one million five hundred thousand to try it out.
[Simulation begins.]
[You were born into a Mortal Spirit family in the Ten Thousand Sword Domain of the Eternal Continent. After overcoming countless dangers, you embarked on the Heart-Tempering Road, became a disciple of the Young Venerable Master of the Sacred Court, and followed him to the Nine Mysteries Prefecture, where you faced the threat of a beast tide...]
The simulated timeline begins right now.
Han Xuanji took a deep breath and looked to the future.
[You arrived in Thousand Souls City with your master and several senior brothers. The elders from the Sacred Court still treated your master with utmost respect, making you realize how high your master's status was in the Sacred Court. You secretly vowed to cultivate diligently and not disgrace your master.]
Time passed slowly, and under the guidance of your master and fellow disciples, your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. However, you still felt it was somewhat slow, as you realized during this time that your fellow disciples, including Little Gold, Little White Bai, and Xiao Hong, were actually quite talented, at least much stronger than you.
That's true.
Han Xuanji's disciples are all Transcendent, possessing rare talent even in the Chaos Universe. They are not bad even after coming to the Eternal Continent.
In addition, with a superior environment, powerful Cultivation Method, and abundant heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he is indeed much stronger than Chu Qi, whose aptitude was sealed.
On this day, the earth shook violently, and roars echoed from the sky.
[You realize that the beast tide your master spoke of has arrived. It's said that this beast tide is unprecedentedly ferocious. You are somewhat worried about the people in the city. After all, to avoid alerting the beasts, no one was informed beforehand; only a few people in the city knew about it, and even your arrival was largely unknown.]
[You stand atop the city wall, gazing into the distance at the dark, overwhelming horde of beasts surging in like a tidal wave. Dust billows on the ground, and countless flying monsters blot out the sun; the sight sends chills down your spine.]
[But soon you'll stop worrying. You see your master wave his hand, and ten thousand swords clash, halting the ferocious beasts outside the city. Then, your master, his face calm, simply raises his hand and gently presses forward. A vast sword light erupts from his palm, slicing across the sky and cleaving the leading beast in two. The beast tide's advance falters, and the city's inhabitants cheer with jubilation.]
[But there were too many ferocious beasts. Every time one was killed, another surged forward. They had no reason whatsoever, and no amount of killing could stop them. Your senior brothers volunteered to use the array to enhance their abilities and go to kill the enemies, but you, because your cultivation was too weak, were unable to go and could only remain in the city, sighing.]
The deaths of numerous ferocious beasts seemed to enrage a powerful being. Several terrifying beasts attacked, each exuding an aura that made your legs weak. You saw your master's figure leap from the city wall, charging alone into the depths of the beast tide. You could only see a blurry scene of battle in the distance, sword light flashing, and beasts falling in droves wherever they passed.
["Bold"]
[An angry roar echoed from the sky, followed by the appearance of something even more terrifying.]
[You see several enormous figures descending from the horizon, each emanating an aura that sends shivers down your spine.]
