Chapter 100

For the first simulation, Gu Yang planned to do a divination, wanting to see what kind of trouble he would encounter after gaining so many benefits.

Good grief, he immediately ran into someone who seemed to be the protagonist of this world.

Top of the Heavenly Pride List, breaking through in a dire situation, and counter-killing his opponent.

Isn't this a clear sign of the protagonist's aura?

Yi Yi, a Second Rank, from the Heavenly Saint Sect.

This was all the information Xu Ruomei knew about him, not even knowing if he was male or female. He could be described as extremely mysterious.

If it weren't for his name on the Heavenly Pride List, the Great Zhou wouldn't even know that there was such a world-class genius in the Heavenly Saint Sect.

The Heavenly Saint Sect is one of the six major sects and also the most mysterious among them.

This sect is renowned, able to stand alongside the nine great surnames.

However, if you were to ask what famous deeds this sect had, it seems there are none.

No one knows where the Heavenly Saint Sect's mountain gate is, and it is very rare to hear of its disciples appearing in the world.

Even Xu Ruomei, a successor of the Sword Palace, doesn't know what kind of sect the Heavenly Saint Sect is.

The only proof of the existence of this sect seems to be the First Rank List and the Heavenly Pride List.

Almost every generation, the names of Heavenly Saint Sect disciples appear on the First Rank List and the Heavenly Pride List.

It's as if this is a sect that only exists on the lists.

Who would have thought that a month later, Yi Yi, the top of the Heavenly Pride List who had never appeared in the world, would challenge him.

"Burdened by fame."

Gu Yang sighed, having become the first Second Rank. Even the mysterious successor of the Heavenly Saint Sect was alarmed.

That top of the Heavenly Pride List came to challenge him, clearly treating him as a stepping stone to break through to the First Rank.

A genius like him, even if he just broke through to the First Rank, would have far greater strength than Xing Kun of the Inner Guard.

[Simulation ended, you can retain one of the following.]

[1. Martial realm at age 22.]

[2. Martial experience at age 22.]

[3. Life wisdom at age 22.]

Gu Yang didn't think much and chose the second.

Immediately, his mind gained a segment of combat experience.

This battle was extremely intense, with the opponent's true essence and sword skills being no less powerful than his own.

By the seventeenth move, he managed to suppress the opponent with the Swallow Heaven technique, about to kill him on the spot.

Suddenly, the opponent burst with terrifying power, breaking through his Swallow Heaven technique and counter-killing him.

He shook his head helplessly, "This is really unreasonable."

To be counter-killed in such a situation is simply absurd.

The technique Yi Yi used after breaking through to the First Rank should be on par with the Nine Divine Destruction Techniques.

More importantly, after reaching the First Rank, his true essence was even deeper, and the internal cultivation he practiced was more compatible with his sword skills, making his power far greater.

Gu Yang used the Nine Divine Destruction Techniques, powered by the True Essence of the Nine Heavenly Phoenix Dance, which was not a matching cultivation method, so its power was naturally somewhat discounted.

It's not surprising that he couldn't defeat him.

The matching cultivation method for the Nine Divine Destruction Techniques is the Heaven Essence God-Slaying Technique.

However, this cultivation method is too sinister, and he has no intention of practicing it.

"I wonder if there are any matching techniques in the Nine Heavenly Phoenix Dance."

Gu Yang thought to himself.

After pondering for a moment, he had an idea and opened the simulator again.

[... You secretly went to Yuzhou, infiltrated Shen Baiyi's villa, obtained the jade slip, and inherited the Nine Heavenly Phoenix Dance. At the same time, you alarmed Shen Baiyi.]

[After killing Shen Baiyi, you eliminated everyone in the villa and left.]

[Half a month later, Yi Yi, the top of the Heavenly Pride List, appeared before you, challenged you, and after a fierce battle, broke through to the First Rank and killed you on the spot, at the age of 22.]

It's him again?

Gu Yang had clearly already separated from Chu Xiyue and the others and gone to Yuzhou, but he still encountered Yi Yi.

How did this person find him?

[Simulation ended, you can retain one of the following.]

[1. Martial realm at age 22.]

[2. Martial experience at age 22.]

[3. Life wisdom at age 22.]

Without hesitation, he chose the second.

In his mind, he gained the cultivation method of the Ninth Level of the Nine Heavenly Phoenix Dance, which could directly cultivate to the Divine Realm.

Unfortunately, there were no martial techniques in the Ninth Level cultivation method.

In addition, he gained the memories of two battles, one with Shen Baiyi and the other with Yi Yi.

This battle with Yi Yi was completely different from the previous one.

Gu Yang only used nine moves to force Yi Yi into a corner, but at the last moment, he still burst with power and broke through to the First Rank.

Clearly, this was not a low-probability event.

Yi Yi's accumulation was already extremely deep, and he only needed a trigger to break through to the First Rank.

Battling him was that trigger.

"Since that's the case, if I directly undergo Nirvana, he shouldn't make things difficult for me, right?"

Gu Yang thought to himself and started the third simulation.

[... You found a deserted place and began your Nirvana, reverting your cultivation to the Ninth Rank. A month later, Yi Yi, the top of the Heavenly Pride List, appeared before you, saw you, and without a word, drew his sword and killed you, at the age of 22.]

No way, he's going to kill me even then?

Gu Yang was frustrated. This Yi Yi had no dignity as a master. The top of the Heavenly Pride List actually killed a Ninth Rank.

This is absurd.

Moreover, it seems that Yi Yi has special skills for finding people, so hiding is useless.

He can't fight and can't hide; this is a real problem.

[Simulation ended, you can retain one of the following.]

[...]

Choosing the first option is definitely not feasible. If he reverted to the Ninth Rank, he would have no ability to resist risks.

Choosing the second option is also unnecessary. Does he need another memory of being stabbed to death?

So, Gu Yang chose the third.

In the next moment, his mind gained a memory of meeting Yi Yi, clearly hearing the words "Nine Heavenly Phoenix Dance?" before the opponent drew his sword.

Clearly, Yi Yi recognized the cultivation method he was practicing.

From the surprised tone, it seems he knew this cultivation method.

Could it be that his determination to kill him is related to this cultivation method?

In the end, in the simulation, his last thought before dying was, "This guy doesn't follow martial ethics!"

...

Gu Yang thought for a while and opened the simulator again.

[... You returned to Pingjun City, found Ling Ling who had not yet emerged from seclusion, and told her you were in trouble. She emerged early and faced the strong enemy with you.]

[Half a year later, Yi Yi, the top of the Heavenly Pride List, appeared before you. After a fierce battle, he broke through and killed you, at the age of 23.]

Seeing this, Gu Yang couldn't help but draw a deep breath.

This time, it's really a problem.

Even Ling Ling's ability to avoid trouble couldn't escape Yi Yi's tracking.

He only managed to hide for half a year before being found.

The key is that this guy can always burst with power and break through, making it impossible to fight.

Gu Yang had never encountered such a persistent character.

The main issue is that the time given is too short. Even with Ling Ling, they could only hide for half a year. Even if he used all the simulations, it would only add up to a few years.

He needs to think of another way.

He racked his brain, pondering a strategy.
