120: Chapter 120 Fate Module

[ "You..." The man was both shocked and anxious to see you take away the original copy, but one look from you forced him to swallow the rest of his sentence. ]

[ "I'll leave the copy for you." You stood up. "It works just the same for you. I have a use for the original." ]

[ "Yes! The heroine is right!" He nodded like a garlic-pounding pestle. ]

[ You ignored him, turned around, vaulted out the window, and your figure vanished into the night. ]

[ Behind you, the lights in the mansion flickered on one by one, and chaos ensued, but you did not look back. ]

[ Returning to your lodging, you took out the map and carefully compared it with the rough route map at the end of Master Qingling's notes. ]

[ The mountain terrain matched, and the markings for several key passes also lined up. ]

[ "It should be real." You felt confident. ]

[ Since you had confirmed it was correct, you didn't delay any longer. There were many Earthly Immortals in the Imperial City, so after doing something bad, you naturally had to run away quickly. ]

[ Before dawn, you left the city and headed straight for the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains. ]

[ Standing at the foot of the mountain, you looked up. ]

[ Peaks stretched on, shrouded in clouds and mist, with no end in sight. This was the Ten Thousand Mountains that separated the mortal world from the Immortal Realm. ]

[ You prepared for a few more days, and after confirming everything was correct, you came to the Ten Thousand Mountains again. ]

[ Looking at the rolling mountains before you, you took a deep breath, tightened the strap of the Puppet on your back, and stepped inside, following the route marked on the map. ]

[ The initial mountain path was unremarkable; the woods were deep and lush, birds sang, and beasts roamed—it was no different from any ordinary large mountain. ]

[ You traveled according to the map, and it wasn't until over a month later that you encountered the first creature whose size was clearly abnormal. ]

[ It was a deer. ]

[ It was twice the size of an ordinary plow ox, its antlers forked like gnarled branches, and its fur shimmered with a faint cyan light. ]

[ Your heart stirred; this must be a Yao Beast, you thought, looking quite spectacular. ]

[ The deer looked up at you, let out two "baa" sounds, and showed no hostility at all. After watching you for a moment, it slowly turned and walked away. ]

[ You breathed a sigh of relief and thought to yourself: Peerless Elegance is awesome! ]

[ You traveled for another half a month. ]

[ Just then, the simulator screen suddenly froze. ]

Outside the simulation, Lin Shuangwan was stunned.

"What's going on? Why did it stop?"

She subconsciously sat up straight. This was the first time the simulation had stopped on its own midway.

The next moment, a familiar panel appeared over the frozen simulation screen.

[ Detected that the Spiritual Qi concentration in the host's current environment meets the requirements. ]

[ The conditions for opening the destiny module have been met. It will open early after this simulation ends. ]

[ At that time, the host can obtain additional simulation attempts and trait rewards by completing specific tasks in the destiny module. ]

Lin Shuangwan's eyes lit up immediately.

"It opened early?!"

She almost jumped up.

You must know, she only had this last one left of her initial simulation attempts.

This matter had always been like a thorn in her heart, making it hard for her—a "hoarder" who had stockpiled a belly full of belongings—to sleep soundly at night. If the attempts ran out and the simulator didn't open up new opportunities, her path to Cultivate would be doomed.

Now that the destiny module had opened early, it was equivalent to adding a few more chances for error correction.

[ The notification dissipated, and the simulation screen began to play again. ]

[ As you ventured deeper, the Yao Beasts you encountered along the way became more frequent. ]

[ A three-eyed gray wolf, a flock of colorful-winged strange birds, a giant turtle with spikes on its shell... most of the Yao Beasts just avoided you from a distance after seeing you and did not come forward to attack. ]

[ There were only two exceptions. ]

[ The first time, it was a bear. ]

[ The beast was fully two zhang tall, brown-black all over, with a pair of small eyes gleaming with ferocity. For some reason, it locked onto you and chased you for a full dozen li. ]

[ You couldn't be bothered to tangle with it, so you channeled your Origin Qi. Your figure moved like lightning, twisting and turning, until you finally shook it off on the other side of a deep ravine. The bear roared at you across the ravine, but you didn't look back. ]

[ The second time was much more dangerous. ]

[ It was a snake. ]

[ Its body was as thick as a bowl, its scales as red as fire, and it was seven or eight zhang long. As soon as you approached a depression, it burst out from the grass, opened its mouth to spew a ball of flames, and scorched the ground where you had just been standing until it was charred black. ]

[ "Hiss—" It flicked its tongue, and another ball of flame came rushing toward your face. ]

[ You dodged to the side, and the flames grazed your cheek, stinging your skin. This fire actually carried Spiritual Qi; ordinary Origin Qi body protection could hardly completely block it. ]

[ Knowing things were bad, you immediately untied the burlap on your back and activated the Puppet. ]

[ The Black-robed Puppet landed with a boom, its joints emitting a dull grinding sound, and a pair of hollow eyes lit up with a ghostly light. ]

[ "Attack." ]

[ The Puppet burst forward, its movements even faster than the fire snake. It punched the snake's head, causing the snake's body to thrash violently, knocking down trees. After a fierce struggle, you seized the opportunity to close in and thrust your long sword into the snake's seven-inch mark. ]

[ In extreme pain, the fire snake coiled around frantically. You and the Puppet worked together, front and back, forcefully suppressing its offensive. After a few more sword strikes, the snake finally stopped moving. ]

[ A fierce battle, fraught with danger. ]

[ At night, you lit a campfire, cut the snake meat into pieces, and boiled a pot of snake soup. ]

[ You collected the remaining Materials, thinking they might be exchangeable for some Spirit Stones. ]

[ You tasted a spoonful. ]

[ Delicious—it was a deliciousness you had never tasted in your life. ]

[ What was even better was that after one bowl, a wave of warmth welled up in your Dantian. That warm current traveled along your Meridians, and your Origin Qi recovery sped up a bit. ]

[ "As expected of a Yao Beast." You happily drank another bowl, feeling satisfied. ]

Lin Shuangwan, outside the simulation, also swallowed her saliva.

"Yao Beast flesh and blood, nourishing Origin Qi..." She pondered, "It seems that once in the Cultivation World, food is also a resource for Cultivate. I must write this down."

She silently added this item to her "Cultivation World Survival Guide" list in her mind.

[ Just like that, over a year later, you finally passed through the entire Ten Thousand Mountains. ]

[ When the last dense forest receded behind you, the view suddenly opened up. A vast plain spread out, and the outline of a city could be vaguely seen in the distance. ]

[ You turned back and took one last look at the endless, rolling mountains. ]

[ A sense of trance unexpectedly arose in your heart. ]

[ It wasn't as difficult as imagined. ]

[ You shook your head, unable to tell if it was because the map route was chosen well, or if the mysterious "affinity" of Peerless Elegance was protecting you in the shadows. Regardless, don't overthink it; this was, after all, a huge stroke of good luck. ]

[ Cultivation World, I, Lin Shuangwan, have finally f***ing arrived!!! ]

[ You stepped into this new world. ]

[ Almost the moment you stepped in, you noticed the difference. ]

[ The Spiritual Qi here could not be compared to the thin spiritual power of Great Li. ]

[ You tried to circulate your meditation technique. The Origin Qi that used to take ten days to replenish in Great Li could be restored to its original state in less than a day here. ]

[ And this was still just an ordinary place in the Cultivation World, not within the coverage area of any Spiritual Vein. ]

[ Your heart burned with excitement, but you did not forget the purpose of this trip. The most important goal, finding the Cultivation World, had already been completed. ]

[ Secondly, you needed to find a place with a Spiritual Vein. Once you had a Spiritual Root in the future, you could stably Cultivate there. It would be best to master a skill for self-preservation that could support yourself and continuously exchange for Cultivate resources, clearing obstacles for your future Immortal path. ]

[ There was also the need to inquire about major events that had occurred in the Cultivation World in recent years so you could be prepared. ]

[ Therefore, every time you passed through a town, you would go in to inquire about the location of nearby Spiritual Veins. ]

[ Along the way, you met many Martial Artists. As expected, the mortal martial arts of this Cultivation World were even more prosperous than in the Great Tang, but strangely, you had been walking for a long time and hadn't encountered a single true Immortal Cultivator. ]
