660: Chapter 660 Eighteen Simulations

[ Ding! The eighteenth simulation begins... ]

[ You sip the Spirit Tea and catch the scent of the creation divine nectar—it is exactly the same as the aura on Liu Jinfeng. ]

[ Mellow, with a hint of soy sauce aroma. ]

[ It tastes sweet upon entering your mouth, and after swallowing, the lingering fragrance slowly dissolves at the root of your tongue. ]

[ The texture is like aged wine; the more you savor it, the more flavor it reveals. ]

[ As you are savoring it, Fragrant Lord Qiao walks into the courtyard. ]

[ She looks serious and bows, "Pavilion Master, why did you summon me to the Imperial Capital?" ]

[ You look at her, feeling a bit sentimental—previously, you were still pondering how to take down the Great Yan Dynasty. ]

[ And now? Even if it were given to you for free, you wouldn't even bother to take it. ]

[ It is too much trouble. ]

[ Truly, plans cannot keep up with changes. ]

[ After thinking for a moment, you say, "Just do as you please for now. In a few days, there will be major changes in the Tianhuang Continent, and when the time comes, I will have my younger sister, Qin Yu, contact you." ]

[ Fragrant Lord Qiao nods, sensibly not asking any more questions, and backs out while bowing. ]

[ This day, you do nothing else; besides Cultivating, you drink tea and help Liu Ruyan clear the residual poison—in fact, there is no poison left, but both of you want to continue the detoxification. ]

[ The next day, Fang Tianhao brings Fang Chen, Squire Shen, and Shen Zhiwei to pay a visit. Liu Jinfeng immediately cripples Fang Chen, and Fang Tianhao drags him back. ]

[ On the third day, after exchanging imprints on the Jade Slips for communication with Liu Jinfeng and Liu Ruyan, you let them leave the Tianhuang Secret Realm. ]

[ On the fourth day, you hand the immortal medicine and the nine-leaf green lotus to Qin Yu, and go over the matters again. ]

[ On the fifth day, you cook a meal for your parents yourself. In every dish, you add a trace amount of different Heaven And Earth Treasures, which can both nourish their bodies and help improve their martial arts Aptitude. ]

[ On the sixth day, ]

[ You raise your hand and crush the mirror body of the pseudo-artifact spirit in the sky. The artifact spirit inside Qin Yu completely takes control of the qingming mirror. ]

[ Subsequently, you transform into the appearance of a white-haired old man and appear at Qingming Hall. This time, you do not kill the two guards; you directly take the qingming mirror into your body, take one step, and you are already a million miles away. ]

[ Liu Qingtian chases after you, but after you mention the name of the Wuji Immortal Sect, his attitude softens, and he watches you leave via the Teleportation Array. ]

[ In the second month, you wipe out the Huanling Sect and feed all the resources to Qin Han. ]

[ In the third month, you carve out an Immortal Cave deep in an uninhabited mountain range near the Silver Moon Palace and devote yourself to seclusion. ]

[ In the tenth year, ]

[ With the support of the xuantian treasure mirror, plus that Sun Dao Fruit, you comprehend one hundred Laws to Perfection. ]

[ By this point, you have accumulated five hundred Laws to Perfection. ]

[ But you are still far from one thousand. ]

[ You do not end your seclusion, continuing to sift through those six thousand-plus Heaven And Earth Treasures over and over, sorting out more than two hundred that are helpful for comprehending Laws. ]

[ Although these are not comparable to the Sun Dao Fruit individually, they are not bad when added together. ]

[ Of the remaining six thousand-plus, you only keep about a hundred with special uses, and give all the others to Qin Han. ]

[ Not only that, you also give all of the twenty million-plus Low-Grade Spirit Stones and over two hundred and fifty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones to Qin Han—keeping only ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones for yourself. ]

[ Qin Han stares at you with wide eyes: "Dad, you are so bad. You have been hiding so many good things on you; why didn't you give them to me to eat sooner?" ]

[ You pat his little head and smile: "I am getting old, my memory is bad, and I keep forgetting things. I only just remembered today." ]

[ "Oh...!" Qin Han nods seriously, his gaze very clear. ]

[ You look at him with a smile and continue to meditate in seclusion. ]

[ Perhaps because Qin Han is by your side, you do not feel lonely. Or perhaps because your Realm has improved and your state of mind is different, you are now able to sit still. ]

[ You begin to cast aside distracting thoughts, ignore worldly affairs, and devote yourself to Cultivation. ]

[ In the thirtieth year, ]

[ With the support of the xuantian treasure mirror, after consuming those two hundred-plus special Heaven And Earth Treasures, you comprehend another three hundred Laws to Perfection. ]

[ Your Cultivation now reaches Body Integration Perfection, and your accumulated Laws reach eight hundred. ]

[ You do not end your seclusion, continuing to use the hundred-fold acceleration of the xuantian treasure mirror to comprehend Laws. ]

[ It is just a pity that without those special Heaven And Earth Treasures, the speed suddenly slows down, and you only comprehend one Law per year. ]

[ But you are too lazy to move, not knowing if it is laziness by nature, if you have become accustomed to bitter cultivation, or if it is a yearning for the Mahayana stage. ]

[ In the ninety-eighth year, ]

[ You are immersed in comprehending Laws, unaware of what year it is. ]

[ Suddenly, Qin Han's voice rings in your mind. "Dad, I think I am about to have a Breakthrough; I feel like I can trigger the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation." ]

[ You are stunned—the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation? ]

[ Isn't that the Heavenly Tribulation for a Breakthrough to the Mahayana stage? ]

[ It hasn't even been a hundred years, and Qin Han is already able to break through to Mahayana? ]

[ You know clearly that the hundred-fold acceleration of the xuantian treasure mirror only applies to yourself; these hundred years for Qin Han are truly a solid hundred years. ]

[ "My Aptitude and Comprehension Ability are truly... damn it, it is really unfair!" You curse in your heart. ]

[ Now that you have Body Integration Cultivation, it is not like it was for low-level Cultivators. ]

[ The Cultivation speed of low-level Cultivators relies more on Spiritual Roots, because Spiritual Roots determine the speed of absorbing and converting Spiritual Qi. ]

[ But when reaching the level where one needs to comprehend Laws, Spiritual Roots are only one factor—what is more important is Aptitude and Comprehension Ability. ]

[ Some people are born Prodigies, and comprehending Laws is as natural as breathing. ]

[ Some people need to grow step by step and accumulate bit by bit. ]

[ You belong to the latter, the slow-growth type. ]

[ Otherwise, with your initial Aptitude and Comprehension Ability, you would likely not even be able to touch the threshold of Laws. ]

[ Without thinking further, your figure moves, and you appear in the starry sky a million miles away. You raise your hand and flick it, and a stream of light shoots out from your spatial ring, with Qin Han suspended steadily opposite you. ]

[ "I will act as your Protector; trigger the Heavenly Tribulation," you say. ]

[ Qin Han nods, turns into a beam of light, and flees into the deeper starry sky. ]

[ You frown: "Why are you running so far away?" ]

[ "Dad, I am afraid of getting you struck to death!" Qin Han says very seriously. ]

[ Your face darkens, then you smile: "Is it that serious?" ]

[ "It is that serious. I feel like this Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is so terrifying that even I am a little afraid." There is nervousness in Qin Han's voice. ]

[ "No way, is the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that powerful?" you mutter to yourself. ]

[ As soon as you finish speaking, the starry sky suddenly darkens. ]

[ It is not dark clouds blocking the sun—it is light disappearing, time pausing, Laws retreating, and the Dao condensing. ]

[ You hold your breath, staring fixedly at the strange phenomenon before you. ]

[ You can be certain—if you were to go over there, without using means involving the Power of the Great Dao, you could really be struck to death. ]

[ You suddenly snap back to reality and hurriedly flee backward—a million miles, another million miles, and another million miles. ]

[ You only heave a sigh of relief after retreating ten million miles away. ]

[ But this darkness is too vast, far exceeding the range of your Divine Thought, and you do not even know how big it is. ]

[ Just at this moment— ]

[ Buzz—! ]

[ You see an incredible scene. ]

[ A light descends from the front, covering Qin Han entirely. The feeling that light gives you makes one unable to breathe. ]

[ If an ordinary person were to get close, they would likely vanish into smoke and dust on the spot. ]

[ Your heartbeat begins to accelerate. ]

[ It is not fear. ]

[ It is instinct. ]

[ Any living creature facing this scene before them would instinctively feel fear. ]

[ "Is this the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?" you frown. "Why does it feel like an obliteration?" ]

[ Although you are not clear about what the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is specifically like, you understand that it gets harder the further it goes. ]

[ If it is this terrifying from the beginning, what will it be like later? ]
