[at 28 years old, you brokethrough to become an innate master. Alas, Heaven's net is wide and none can escape its mesh, you finally made a mistake underestimating the scale of the breakthrough, and since you were a little close to the capital, as soon as you opened your eyes, you found out that you were surrounded by a dozen innate masters]
[They didn't give you the chance to explain yourself and attacked directly. However, what they didn't expect was that the combination of your superieur martial body and the mysterious falling star blade made your strength far surpass your realm. you managed to kill seven innate masters, scaring the remaining ones into fleeing back to the capital.]
[But you didn't pursue them, because you realized that since they ran into the closed city instead of running to the forest, then they must have an ace up their sleeve]
[you decided to change your seclusion spot, and cultivate the falling star blade into the highest stage; enlightenment, before storming the capital]
[alas, a man proposes but heaven disposes. A young man appeared in your cave out of nowhere, he looked at you as if looking at an ant and casually waved his sleeve, instantly crushing you into mate paste]
[due to your death. The simulation is ending...]
"Not again!", Lin Fang's face contorted in anger, "each time the simulation is going well, a random overpowered person comes to slap me to death. The heavens must envy me because I'm so talented", he cocked his head back dramatically.
"no matter", Lin Fang shook his head dismissively, "at least I reached the innate rank"
"it seems that even the strongest martial artists from the capital will no longer be my match", a wide smile adorned his face.
"I do wonder though...", his eyes lit up with a mix of curiosity and excitement, "this young man, and the young master from the first simulation, both killed me with a flick of their sleeve. Could they be legendary cultivators??"
[Ding, reward generation successful. you can choose one of the following rewards:]
[1-cultivation realm at 28 years old]
[2-combat experience at 28 years old]
[3-blue grade talent Twisted genius]
"I choose cultivation realm", Lin Fang didn't even look at the other options.
as soon as he made his choice, Lin Fang felt his qi bubbling, his dantian felt like an active volcano ready to erupt.
RUMBLE~~
The few strands of qi inside of his dantian started multiplying at a terrifying pace, and what was a mere drop became an ocean of qi, flowing out of his dantian into every part of his body, cleansing them and making his physical strength increase greatly.
But it didn't stop there, his qi kept on increasing even flowing out to the surroundings and creating a beautiful phenomenon; Lin Fang sat there cross-legged on the floor, and around him flourished a whole new ecosystem, living purely off the qi he was emitting.
With the endless qi circulating in his body, he felt invincible, he felt like he could overturn the heavens and the earth with a flick of his wrist. Which was of course an illusion due to him advancing by leaps and bounds.
But that wasn't all, he gained one more thing, a new sense. Now he could feel any sources or fluctuations of qi in a vast area around him.
"Is this the spirit sense that they always talked about in the novels?", Lin Fang was excited, ready to experiment with his new abilities.
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open as he turned his gaze to a certain direction, "I feel two huge sources of energy closing in... innate masters??"
In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, two figures appeared in front of Lin Fang.
The first one was a frail-looking old man with a goatee, he wore a black robe with a sun insignia on his chest and had a dignified demeanor befitting someone in a high position.
The second one was also an old man with a solemn expression, but his robe had the word Xiao engraved in bold characters on it.
"What a pleasant surprise, I didn't expect the new innate master of the empire to be a young genius", said the old man with a goatee.
"This is indeed a meat pie falling from the heavens! It must be our lucky day brother Song", replied the other old man with a wide smile.
Lin Fang frowned and took a couple of steps back, these two old men were creeping him out.
Noticing his gesture, the old man with a goatee put on an amiable smile and explained, "Don't worry martial brother, we don't have any ill intentions. I am Jianyu Song, the governor of White Stone City and also a Duke of the glorious Radiant Sun Empire", he said with a proud expression.
"And I am Xiao Lan, the patriarch of the Xiao clan", interjected the other old man, "there are very few innate masters in the empire, and each time a new one appears it is a matter worth celebrating by the whole empire"
Duke Song nodded his head and continued, "We hope that you come back with us to the capital to meet the other innate masters and nobles of the empire so that we can celebrate your breakthrough", he paused for a few breaths before adding, "the Divine Wind Sect's recruitment ceremony is also almost starting, and with your talent and our referral you are almost guaranteed admission"
Hearing all this, Lin Fang bowed with cupped fists, "A pleasure to meet you, fellow martial brothers! My name is Lin Fang a mere nobody from a small village"
In this world where the strong eat meat and the weak drink soup, even seniority is determined by strength. He remembered that in Young Eagle Village, despite Len Jiang being fairly young, even the oldest people in the village called him senior.
"Brother Fang is indeed a dragon amongst men! Despite being so strong at such a young age you are still so humble", exclaimed patriarch Xiao.
Lin Fang's eyes then flashed with hope as he asked, "Is the Divine Wind Sect, Brother Song mentioned a true cultivation sect?"
