Chapter 78: Immortal Arrival Sect Examination
[Everything that followed went according to your expectations.]
[After Qiu Kuang learned about your relationship with Qiu Zhixuan, he didn't kill you outright. Instead, out of respect for Qiu Zhixuan and Jiang Lianqiu, he allowed you to join the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[You pretended to hesitate for a moment before agreeing.]
[However, Qiu Kuang also mentioned that it wasn't easy for outsiders to join the Immortal Arrival Sect; you would need to pass a series of tests.]
[You were well aware of this, as it had been mentioned in previous simulations.]
[In that simulation, you had the Intelligence Reduction Aura talent, and before the tests could even begin, the members of the Immortal Arrival Sect fell into chaos due to your aura, and you were ultimately struck down by Heavenly Thunder.]
[This time, without the influence of the Intelligence Reduction Aura, you felt confident that things would go smoothly.]
[As you wished, Qiu Kuang brought you to the capital of the Great Abyssal Kingdom, which also housed a branch of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[Of course, Qiu Zhixuan and Jiang Lianqiu were also brought along.]
[Upon arrival, Qiu Kuang arranged for you to stay in a separate courtyard and warned you not to wander around, as it could be dangerous.]
[You understood Qiu Kuang's concerns. With your current cultivation level and not being a member of the Immortal Arrival Sect, you were indeed in a precarious position on their territory.]
[You could easily be killed by an Immortal Slave.]
[Even without Qiu Kuang's warning, you wouldn't have wandered around carelessly.]
[Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.]
[During this time, you spent your days in intimate moments with Qiu Zhixuan and taking care of Jiang Lianqiu.]
[This made Qiu Kuang, who had been secretly observing you for half a year, feel more at ease.]
[Not long after, Qiu Kuang brought a stranger, an Immortal Slave, to see you.]
[Qiu Kuang told you that he had spoken with the sect master, and as long as you passed the tests, you could join the Immortal Arrival Sect and receive their token.]
[The stranger beside him was to be your examiner.]
[Feigning excitement, you secretly used the Eye of Insight talent to observe the stranger.]
[Through your observation, you learned that the stranger's name was Gu Qing, a formidable expert at the third level of Tribulation Crossing, even stronger than Qiu Kuang.]
[You pondered for a moment. Having such a powerful expert as your examiner showed that the Immortal Arrival Sect took these tests very seriously.]
[As a local cultivator trying to join the Immortal Arrival Sect, it was indeed a form of infiltration, and they couldn't afford to take it lightly.]
[If it weren't for Qiu Kuang's guarantee, you wouldn't even have the chance to be tested!]
[Over the years, many local cultivators had tried to join the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[After all, joining the Immortal Arrival Sect meant a chance at survival.]
[However, they were all ruthlessly rejected and killed by the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[Only those with connections to the high-ranking members of the sect, like you, had a slim chance.]
[Gu Qing took you away directly.]
[Three days later, you received your first test task from Gu Qing: "Massacre a city."]
[You were momentarily stunned upon hearing this task.]
[However, you quickly weighed the pros and cons and, without hesitation, massacred three cities in a row!]
[Millions of civilians perished at your hands.]
[Gu Qing merely glanced at you coldly and remarked on your ruthlessness, without directly telling you whether you had passed.]
[Soon, Gu Qing assigned you a second test task.]
[This time, it was more challenging; you had to kill ten cultivators.]
[It took you five days to find and kill ten cultivators, completing the task.]
[Afterward, Gu Qing brought you back to the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[You thought the tasks were over, but you were wrong.]
[Gu Qing brought you before Qiu Zhixuan and pointed at her, instructing you to kill her!]
[Upon hearing this task, your rational mind didn't feel any reluctance, but you sensed something was off.]
[Killing mortals and local cultivators made sense, as the Immortal Arrival Sect was known for such deeds.]
[But killing Qiu Zhixuan was clearly unreasonable.]
[After all, you were brought back by Qiu Kuang. If the task involved killing his granddaughter, would he still let you take the tests?]
[Such an unreasonable task was definitely suspicious, so you chose to refuse.]
[Gu Qing coldly shouted at you, saying that either Qiu Zhixuan dies and you join the Immortal Arrival Sect, or you die.]
[At the same time, Gu Qing's terrifying aura erupted, and he began to gather a spell in his hand.]
[Judging by his stance, if you continued to refuse, you would undoubtedly die.]
[Remaining calm, you shook your head and refused, telling Gu Qing that even if it meant your death, you wouldn't let Qiu Zhixuan be harmed.]
[At this moment, Gu Qing sneered and said, "Do you think I'm testing your feelings? Haha, this is the test to join the Immortal Arrival Sect. If you can't do it, then die!"]
[As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qing's spell shot towards you.]
[Hearing Gu Qing's words, you suddenly felt a bit shaken.]
[Could this really be the test to join the Immortal Arrival Sect? Was it not Qiu Kuang's test for you? Did you make the wrong choice?]
[As Gu Qing's attack drew closer, you steeled your resolve, closed your eyes, and quietly awaited the attack.]
[You bet that your choice was correct.]
[After a long time, the attack never landed on you.]
[You knew you had won the bet.]
[This time, you had completely passed the tests of the Immortal Arrival Sect and Qiu Kuang.]
[In fact, the tests of the Immortal Arrival Sect only involved massacring cities and killing cultivators.]
[The final test to kill Qiu Zhixuan was proposed by Qiu Kuang.]
[After learning from Gu Qing about your cold-blooded massacre of three cities, Qiu Kuang became suspicious of you again, leading to the previous scene!]
[After all, even members of the Immortal Arrival Sect couldn't be so cold-blooded.]
[After passing all the tests, you were brought to the headquarters of the Immortal Arrival Sect by Qiu Kuang and Gu Qing, where you received a jade talisman from Shen Wuyou.]
[This was the token of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[Qiu Kuang told you that by dripping a drop of your blood onto the jade talisman, you would officially become a member of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[Once the blood was on the talisman, members of the Immortal Arrival Sect would be able to sense each other and wouldn't mistake you for a local cultivator.]
[More importantly, the Heavenly Thunder that struck every few decades would no longer target you.]
[This was your goal, so you didn't hesitate at all.]
[You immediately dripped your blood onto the jade talisman, becoming a member of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
Chapter 79: IReverse Heavens
[Year 13, you killed hundreds of cultivators from the Southern Regions, becoming a model worker for the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[This was actually a task from the Immortal Arrival Sect, where everyone had to kill three cultivators or seekers of immortality each year.]
[You killed so many cultivators in one year to complete decades' worth of tasks in advance.]
[Year 14, you left the Great Abyssal Kingdom with Qiu Zhixuan and your child Jiang Nianqiu.]
[At this point, you had completed a century's worth of tasks for the Immortal Arrival Sect, so unless there was an emergency, you were free!]
[Year 16, you arrived outside the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords, but by then, Qiu Zhixuan and your child Jiang Nianqiu were no longer with you.]
[You took Qiu Zhixuan with you to deceive Qiu Kuang, as you had always maintained the persona of a deeply affectionate man.]
[Now, you had placed Qiu Zhixuan in a remote village.]
[Originally, you planned to kill her, but you were worried that Qiu Kuang might have a way to sense Qiu Zhixuan's life and death.]
[In the end, you chose to deceive Qiu Zhixuan, telling her that you needed to comprehend the Dao and it might take many years, asking her to wait for you there.]
[Qiu Zhixuan completely fell into your love trap; otherwise, such a lie would be hard to believe.]
[You knew this well, which is why you dared to do it!]
[At this moment, you looked at the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords in the distance, thought for a moment, then raised your head and said to the void, "Come in!"]
[After a long time with no response, you said again, "The me outside, come in for a deep simulation of seven years!"]
Jiang Yifeng's eyes widened as he read this.
What's going on?
A mere simulation tool, daring to command me?
Teaching me what to do!
This is simply reversing the heavens!
However, Jiang Yifeng quickly came to his senses.
Entering a deep simulation at this time was indeed a good choice.
After all, once inside, he would have the Absolute Rationality talent, which, judging by its name, should offer some resistance to the comprehension of killing intent.
Moreover, deep simulation could save the number of times he needed to exchange rewards.
Since that was the case, he might as well go for it!
Of course, Jiang Yifeng insisted that it was his own decision to enter the deep simulation, and not because he was commanded by the simulation tool.
"Start a deep simulation for seven years!"
[Ding, starting deep simulation for seven years, deducting 613.2 million energy points, remaining energy points 900 million...]
Jiang Yifeng's consciousness instantly entered the simulation.
At this moment, Jiang Yifeng, who had entered the deep simulation, also possessed the Absolute Rationality talent.
He surveyed his surroundings and then stepped directly into the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords, beginning to comprehend killing intent.
Jiang Yifeng's killing intent was already at the entry level, and with the Absolute Rationality talent, the killing intent in the outer area could hardly affect him.
He began to gradually move toward the middle layer of the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.
In the days that followed, Jiang Yifeng continued to comprehend killing intent in the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.
Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.
[Ding, deep simulation ended!]
With the simulator's prompt, Jiang Yifeng's deep simulation came to an end.
Jiang Yifeng returned to the Jiang Family Mansion in Green Hills City!
Sensing his own killing intent, Jiang Yifeng found that it had reached the peak of the minor achievement stage.
This progress was much stronger than the last deep simulation.
Last time, after several years of deep simulation, he had even gone mad and only reached the entry level. Now he had directly reached the peak of the minor achievement stage.
One had to admit, the Absolute Rationality talent was quite powerful, even a bit overpowered.
However, Jiang Yifeng felt that the side effects were quite severe.
It was almost like losing one's humanity.
Just look at what he had done to Qiu Zhixuan in the simulation.
Without thinking much, Jiang Yifeng continued to look at the simulator.
[Year 23, you knew that Wu Youdao would come here in another year, but in this simulation, you did not plan to meet him.]
[So, you left the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.]
[After all, from previous simulations, it seemed that Wu Youdao might also be at odds with the people from the Immortal Spirit Sect.]
[You worried that if you met him, your identity as an Immortal Slave might be exposed, putting you in danger.]
[Year 24, you found Qiu Zhixuan.]
[At this time, Qiu Zhixuan was still waiting for you in that village.]
[Your son, Jiang Nianqiu, was already sixteen years old.]
[You knew clearly what you wanted.]
[So you just appeared in front of them, pretended to be affectionate for a while.]
[Not long after, you began to cultivate in seclusion in the village.]
[This time, you still chose to cultivate the Immortal Dao.]
[But instead of cultivating the Heavenly Profound Art, you cultivated the Devouring Spirit Art inherited from the Immortal Dao.]
[The cultivation of the Devouring Spirit Art made you feel the terror of an immortal-level technique.]
[Its speed of absorbing spiritual energy was just like its name, not absorbing, but devouring.]
[After switching to the Devouring Spirit Art, you clearly felt your cultivation speed increase several times.]
[Year 26, you cultivated the Immortal Dao and successfully broke through to the fourth level of Spirit Transformation.]
[Year 28, your Immortal Dao cultivation broke through to the fifth level of Spirit Transformation.]
[In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.]
[Year 38, your Immortal Dao cultivation broke through to the ninth level of Spirit Transformation.]
[At the same time, your spiritual energy finally allowed you to set up eighth-grade formations, making you an eighth-grade Formation Master.]
[Feeling your own strength, you were somewhat dissatisfied.]
[Although the techniques inherited from the Immortal Dao accelerated your cultivation speed, even at the Spirit Transformation stage, you maintained the same speed as the Nascent Soul stage.]
[But you felt it was not enough; compared to your father who reached the Tribulation Crossing stage in just over 30 years, your speed was far behind.]
[You frowned, thinking you had underestimated things.]
[You previously thought that your father's rapid advancement was at least half due to the inheritance.]
[Now it seemed that was not the case; your father must have other secrets.]
[You thought you might need to return to Green Hills City to take a look.]
[As soon as you stepped out of your seclusion, Qiu Zhixuan ran towards you with a smile.]
[You were not surprised by this; during these years, you were not in complete seclusion and would occasionally come out to cultivate feelings with Qiu Zhixuan.]
[Your relationship with Qiu Zhixuan had not cooled down.]
[On the contrary, because of your occasional appearances, she became even more infatuated with you.]
[As for your son Jiang Nianqiu, after reaching adulthood, he was sent to Qiu Kuang by Qiu Zhixuan and became an Immortal Slave as well.]
[After a moment of affection with Qiu Zhixuan, you told her you wanted to go home and take a look.]
[So you took Qiu Zhixuan and headed towards Green Hills City.]
[Year 39, you finally returned to Green Hills City.]
[However, you did not find your father Jiang Fushan.]
[In fact, no one from the Jiang Family was there.]
[After inquiring from various sources, you learned that decades ago, the entire Jiang Clan Firm had suddenly relocated on a large scale, and their whereabouts were unknown.]
