“That’s not the case.” Yu Xuanji said, “The spirit beast aristocratic family is indeed powerful, but their bloodline will decline generation after generation. Furthermore, they will be shackled by the bloodline in their bodies. If they want to break through again after reaching a certain realm, they will have to experience countless dangers every step.”
“Even if I successfully pa.s.s this nirvana, I will only gain a few thousand years of lifespan. The hope of pa.s.sing the next nirvana is slim.”
As she spoke, Yu Xuanji sighed.
Han Zhao was a little speechless when he heard this. Humble bragging? Only been a few thousand years?
However, on second thought, it made sense. Before Yu Xuanji’s downfall, she was ten realms higher than him. It was normal to think that way.
She was originally a small group of people who stood at the peak of this world. She probably had higher goals.
“It’s useless to think too much. It’s already a blessing to be able to survive this nirvana’s period of weakness!” Yu Xuanji changed the topic and looked at Han Zhao. If she had not met this kid, she probably would not have had the chance to survive this tribulation.
“Senior, with your luck, it’s only a matter of time before you return to the peak,” Han Zhao hurriedly said.
“Kid, you have a sweet mouth.” Before Yu Xuanji was in trouble, she had heard too many fake words. However, Han Zhao was related to her by blood. She could feel that Han Zhao’s words were sincere.
“I’ve always liked to tell the truth,” Han Zhao said with a smile.
“When I recover my Dharmic powers at my peak, I will definitely do my best to help you transcend the tribulation. If you think the path of martial arts is difficult, I can also give you a portion of the blood essence of the Heavenly Phoenix and let you become the first-generation spirit beast Bloodline Holder.”
“From today onwards, Senior is my true love—family and friend!” Han Zhao said. Although she was promising things in the future, she was sincerely prepared to fulfill her promise.
Yu Xuanji did not have any obvious reaction to that. She only nodded slightly and said, “I’m going into seclusion.”
“Senior, after you—!” Han Zhao opened the door of the secret room.
“You brat.” The corners of Yu Xuanji’s mouth curled up. She was amused by his appearance, but she immediately suppressed it. This brat was clearly the kind of person who would take advantage of the situation.
“Could it be that she doesn’t like this… posture?” Han Zhao was puzzled when he saw Yu Xuanji’s facial muscles twitch slightly and her expression stiffen.
“Her Heavenly Phoenix True Yin can help me transcend the tribulation. When the time comes, I’ll still need the blood essence of the Heavenly Phoenix to cultivate the True Spirit Nine Transformations.”
No matter what, he would not let go of this.
A man had to be flexible. He often knelt down for Xu Ling so this was nothing.
For the sake of Martial G.o.d Realm, it was not a problem.
“Next is to deal with Murong Qi and Ji Qingshuang.”
Han Zhao followed Yu Xuanji out of the secret room and arranged for her to stay in his small courtyard.
To be safe, he prepared to let Yu Niang monitor Ji Qingshuang and ask the three Lian sisters for help.
The best outcome was for Ji Qingshuang to die at Murong Qi’s hands. Then, he would kill Murong Qi and take revenge for Ji Qingshuang.
The second was to let the three Lian sisters take action. However, this matter was risky and depended on whether the three of them were willing.
The worst outcome would be for him to personally kill Ji Qingshuang.
A few days ago, when they met in a hurry, Lian Chengxue told her about the secret technique of the Divine Weapon Sacrificial Ritual in her body. Han Zhao could set up an array formation and use the method of sacrificing demon beasts to communicate with Lian Chengxue from afar.
The Divine Weapon Sacrificial Ritual secret technique was related to the core secrets of the Divine Weapon. Once he knew this method, he could find a targeted way to deal with it. To the Weapon Master, this was not a good thing. Lian Chengxue’s actions could be said to be completely unreserved to him.
Han Zhao naturally wouldn’t let her down.
“There are at least two more simulation opportunities,” Han Zhao thought to himself.
Even if he only chose attribute points for the two simulations, it could still increase his strength to a higher level.
The next day, Han Zhao consumed most of the Yin energy in his body and gathered the Trait.
“System.”
[Collected 300 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]
[Each synthesis will consume 130 Notification Fragments and 3,000 taels of gold.]
“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”
[24 years old. Yu Xuanji woke up. Yu Niang followed your request to monitor Ji Qingshuang.]
[The three sisters of the Lian family came to make an agreement with you.]
[Murong Qi started challenging experts everywhere.]
[You agreed to Ji Qingshuang’s conditions.]
[Lu Yingxuan publicly challenged Yang Xie and killed him in public.]
[Murong Qi attacked and severely injured Lu Yingxuan with a single strike.]
[Qi Xuanming and Su Tianqi helped, but they were no match for Murong Qi.]
[At the critical moment, the Academy Head of the Martial Academy, Qin Qingxu, attacked and forced Murong Qi back.]
[You rushed back to the prefecture capital overnight and realized that the Yin and Yang qi in Lu Yingxuan’s body had lost its balance again. She could not control the Heavenly Demon true qi in her body and her brain was severely damaged. She was unconscious.]
[Ji Qingshuang went to look for Murong Qi to negotiate but was injured by him.]
[You and the three Lian sisters follow behind.]
[With the help of the three of them, you successfully killed Ji Qingshuang and Murong Qi. You killed Murong Qi, and the white tiger mark landed on your body. Lian Chengxue killed Ji Qingshuang and was marked by a divine weapon.]
[The three sisters of the Lian family took away the Seven Evil Mask divine weapon fragment. Before they left, they gave you another portion of Yin energy, but you rejected it.]
[The Heavenly Prefecture’s Ji family learned that Ji Qingshuang was dead and sent a top seventh-level Snake-level expert.]
[The three Lian sisters set off for the State of Qi, but they were caught up by the Ji family’s experts halfway. The three of them activated the Three Wonders Spirit Arrow and forcefully devoured the Seven Evil Mask divine weapon fragment, killing the Ji family’s Snake-level expert.]
[A month later, the Ji family’s Weapon Master moved out. Two of the three women died and one was injured. Lian Chengxue was brought to the Furious Flood Dragon Gang to confront you.]
[Lian Chengxue was tortured and insisted that this matter had nothing to do with you. The Ji familys Weapon Master killed her.]
[You were arrested and brought back to the Ji family. You lost your personal freedom.]
[27 years old. Ji Baiwei secretly brought you out to escape and was discovered by the Ji family’s Weapon Master.]
[You died.]
“Looks like the Seven Evil Mask divine weapon fragment is the Ji Family’s bottom line. We definitely can’t touch it.”
Han Zhao frowned.
“I can’t implicate the three sisters of the Lian family. This mark can be on me. It’s best if it’s on Murong Qi.” [The simulation is over. You can choose one of the following.]
[1: Obtain Trait (Selectable)]
[2: Obtained attribute points]
[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.]
[Current Balance: 500 taels of gold]
“Huh? There’s a Trait?!”
Looking at the last choice, Han Zhao’s eyes lit up.
“I’ve decided to abstain from s.e.x from today until next year. Please give me a good Trait!”
Han Zhao chanted in his mind. “I choose one!”
[Obtained Trait ‘Heaven’s Favor’]
[Heaven’s Favor]: Golden Trait. You will obtain a “Tribulation Subst.i.tution Doll” (Upgrade Trait can be obtained by obtaining proficiency. The upper limit is Platinum Trait)
[Tribulation Subst.i.tution Doll (1/1): Spend 10% of your blood qi to feed the Tribulation Subst.i.tution Doll. You can actively or pa.s.sively let the Tribulation Subst.i.tution Doll withstand all the damage for you for ten seconds. This includes but is not limited to fatal physical and mental injuries. You can use it once every three months. Every time you use the Tribulation Subst.i.tution Doll, you will obtain Trait proficiency.]
“Tribulation Subst.i.tution Doll? It’s really the Heaven’s Favor!”
Looking at the effect of the [Heaven’s Favor] Trait, Han Zhao was overjoyed.
“Isn’t this the solution?!”
June 1st.
At noon.
Today should have been like the previous years, but it was an ordinary day.
However, the disciple of Zhang Mudie, the court head of the Sword Rain Courtyard, Lu Yingxuan, would publicly fight a life-and-death battle with the prefecture capital’s legendary figure, Yang Xie, making this day extraordinary.
Outside Linjiang Town, a large number of martial artists had gathered by the Long Forest River.
A tall and muscular old man with a long beard stood with his eyes closed. He held a saber that was as tall as a person.
“Is Yang Xie already at the Five Qi Perfection Realm?”
“That must be the case! He’s standing in the middle of the field. I can’t feel his blood qi flow at all. This is clearly a sign that his physical control has been raised to the limit.”
“The court head of the Sword Rain Courtyard, Zhang Mudie, is a Two Qi Grandmaster. Could the disciple she taught be stronger than her?! What right does Lu Yingxuan have to challenge Yang Xie?”
“You don’t know this, right? Yang Xie has a blood feud with the Lu family. Back then…
“Yang Xie is about to become a Saint. If Lu Yingxuan doesn’t make a move, she probably won’t have a chance.”
The onlookers looked at the calm and composed Yang Xie, who was resting with his eyes closed. They could not help but discuss..
