As Pei Xuanjing’s strength increased, naturally the speed at which he refined the Taoyun quickened.
However, even with that, it still took him two years to fully refine the Taoyun of the Ten Thousand Spirit Body Forging Skill.
At this moment, even though Pei Xuanjing hadn’t cultivated this skill, he had a clear understanding of it.
This skill was indeed a demonic way, it was extremely domineering. It was about refining the essences of myriad spirit demonic beasts for self-use, and then using these essences to nourish oneself, forging the body.
This skill reminded Pei Xuanjing of the Beiming Divine Skill and the Big Dipper Method he had heard in his previous life. This skill shared some similarities with those two.
However, there was also a significant downside. Just as the Big Dipper Method would cause Qi inside the cultivator to be mixed and conflicting if too much Qi was absorbed, so was it with the Ten Thousand Spirit Body Forging Skill. It could refine the essence and blood of demonic beasts to quickly boost strength, but these power accumulated in the body would cause internal conflicts. If this couldn’t be resolved, the cultivator would surely explode and die!
“However, this skill still has its advantages. If I can take its essence and discard the dregs, and incorporate it into my Shenxiao Mysterious Skill, my Mysterious Skill will surely improve further.” Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help smirking.
Most trash is just resources placed in the wrong position. Let alone a skill developed by a Nine Realms of Spirit demonic way expert which could reach the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, how could it have only disadvantages and no strengths.
As for Pei Xuanjing, his Way of Essence Refinement was the Shenxiao Mysterious Skill he had developed himself, based on the Dragon Elephant Art. Therefore, even if he obtained other body refining skills, he would only try to incorporate them into it, without changing it again.
After all, there are no invincible methods, only invincible people. Any skill is strongest only when it suits oneself.
“It’s time for another life simulation now.”
[Taoyun: 1659321 points.]
[Do you want to use the Life Simulator? One use will consume 1000000 Taoyun points.]
“Yes!”
[Life simulation begins:]
Age 1: You were born in a common military family, your father is a regular Centurion who fights against the frontier demonic beasts.
Age 16: Your father died in a battle against the demonic beasts. You choose to join the Border Army, becoming a soldier.
Age 17: You fought against the demonic beasts for the first time. Despite being seriously wounded, you managed to kill three demonic beasts, earning merit.
Age 20: You were promoted to Centurion and, during a mission, you managed to kill several middle-ranked demonic beasts of the same rank. But you attracted the pursuit of a Great Demon.
You fought desperately, but it was to no avail. You died tragically under the hands of the Great Demon.
[End of this life.]
“Is that it!” Incredulity appeared in Pei Xuanjing’s previously calm eyes.
He spent a whole million Taoyun points to initiate a simulation, and it just ended like that…
Even with Pei Xuanjing’s current state of mind, seeing this life simulation end so easily, he felt a bit aggrieved.
He originally thought that even if this life simulation didn’t need to have as huge a harvest as the last one did, getting some other returns would suffice.
But it wasn’t to be.
[Simulation ended: You can choose the following options.]
[Option one: Obtain all the insights and knowledge you had when you died in this simulation.]
[Option two: Project and possess, experience this life again.]
“After the upgrade of this simulator, it appears to be not as good as before.” Pei Xuanjing thought.
In the original life simulation, he could influence the outcome. However, in this random life simulation, he could hardly make any significant impact.
If he wanted to not waste his Taoyun points, then his only option was to choose the second one — to project and possess and experience life with his own main consciousness.
“It seems like the simulator is intentionally making me experience different lives?” Pei Xuanjing had some suspicions.
However, even with these doubts, Pei Xuanjing didn’t have many choices right now.
Unless, he was willing to give up this choice, throwing away those one million Taoyun points.
But that was completely impossible.
The one million Taoyun points was something that Pei Xuanjing had to spend an unknown amount of time and effort to accumulate. He couldn’t simply give it up.
“Choose the second option!”
Since he couldn’t refuse, he could only choose to face the difficulty.
Pei Xuanjing decisively made the choice.
[Life simulation — Projection and Possession mode activated.]
[The Great Tao is fifty, the Forty-Nine Heavenly Paths avoid one! Therefore, everything in the world has one thread of vitality!]
In an instant, the surroundings of Pei Xuanjing fell into silence, as if even time had stopped.
At this moment, his sea of consciousness seemed like Chaos, and then there was a loud noise, Heaven and Earth partitioned.
At the border, in the Great Ming military camp, in the commander’s tent.
Sitting at the command post, Wang Bo’an, the commander of this expedition from Great Ming, and the elite of other forces were seated on either side.
Those who appeared in this commander’s tent would either be high-ranking officers in the army, or be in charge of the big forces. Their gazes were all fixed on Yu Zhenzi who was standing in the middle of the tent.
In this tent, Wang Bo’an was the commander. Even though they were extremely eager, they couldn’t take the initiative to ask questions.
“What about it, has Tiandu sent back any information?” Wang Bo’an asked.
This time, when the hundreds of thousands of wolves blocked their path, the imperial court of Great Ming had not been able to investigate the cause, so they wanted to see if they could obtain any information from the Jianghu side.
And Zhang Jie, representing the Shenxiao Sect in this army, was one of those responsible for handling the information from various Jianghu forces.
“So far, not much has been found,” Zhang Jie replied, “I have transmitted the message back to Shenxiao Mountain, to ask if the head of the sect can figure out any anomalies. However, according to the young head, the head of the sect has already closed off for cultivation.”
“What should we do now!”
“Yes, we originally thought that the National Teacher would understand the mystery, but we didn’t expect the National Teacher to have closed off for cultivation.”
Hearing this kind of reply, the others couldn’t hold back any longer and started voicing out their concerns.
Even though Pei Xuanjing wasn’t here, as the undeniably best person in the world right now, they believed that if he could be invited over, it would solve their problems.
“Silence!” Wang Bo’an saw these people talking noisily and shouted.
When they heard the anger of the commander, the tent immediately fell silent.
As the commander of this expedition, Wang Bo’an’s authority had been deeply ingrained in everyone’s hearts over the past two years. They respected the commander a lot and never dared to neglect him.
Wang Bo’an turned to Zhang Jie and said: “If there’s anything else, you can say it now.”
