41: Conquer Dan Juezi, Floating Cloud Immortal Mirror

[Puff!!!]

[Dan Juezi flew backward; in the face of such a massive gap in strength, even the most extensive combat experience became futile.]

["You... why do you know my name? Are you from the Heavenly Soul Hall?"]

[You did not answer his question, but instead told him to switch back to Chu Han. As long as he could reveal Tang Chuan's origins, you would still spare them.]

[Upon hearing this, Dan Juezi retreated, and the owner of this body switched back to Chu Han.]

[Under your coercion, Chu Han finally revealed everything.]

[It turned out that Chu Han was a transmigrator. Before his Transmigration, he had read a novel that recounted many, many things about this world.]

[However, in this novel, the protagonist was not him, nor was it Tang Chuan, nor even someone from the Eastern Continent Cultivation World.]

[The entire Eastern Continent Cultivation World was merely the opening of the story, serving a certain guiding role.]

[And Tang Chuan was just an insignificant supporting character.]

[As for his specific identity information, Chu Han did not know either.]

[He only knew that this person should be devoured by the novel's protagonist in eighty years.]

[You asked Chu Han who the protagonist he spoke of was.]

[After a moment of silence, Chu Han replied: "Gu Xunxian!"]

[This was a name you had never heard before.]

[Even in the many simulations prior to this, you had tried your best to gather intelligence from all sides, yet you had still never heard of it.]

["Alright, you may go!"]

["Are you truly willing to let me leave?"]

[Chu Han looked at you in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.]

["Of course."]

[You raised your hand and struck down, finishing off Chu Han in one move.]

[Dan Juezi still wanted to struggle, but now that he had only barely reached the Golden Core stage, how could he possibly be your opponent?]

[In less than three moves, he was easily subdued by you.]

["Hehehe, truly a tiger fallen to the flatlands."]

["I never expected that I, Dan Juezi, having roamed freely my entire life, would not die at the hands of the Heavenly Soul Hall, but instead be harmed by a junior like you who is only at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage."]

[You looked at Dan Juezi without speaking, instead offering him a chance.]

[A chance to live.]

[As long as he was willing to hand over a portion of his Divine Soul, you were willing to spare his life.]

[And if you achieved Major Achievement in your cultivation in the future, you would even be willing to help him reshape his Physical Body.]

[Dan Juezi agreed.]

[Although he had lived for who knows how long, the longer his lifespan, the more he feared death.]

[To him, nothing was more important than staying alive.]

[Dan Juezi handed over a portion of his Divine Soul.]

[After controlling that portion of the Divine Soul, you turned to look at the Ji Family Cultivators.]

[At this moment, they were still somewhat shaken, and only the leading Golden Core Elder stepped forward quickly to express his gratitude to you.]

[You waved your hand, then asked Ji Qingxuan if she was willing to leave with you.]

[She agreed; everything that had just happened had long since shown her the coldness of the Ji Family.]

[Moreover, going to Martial King City, one could not know if it would be a blessing or a curse.]

[You were very satisfied with her answer.]

[Afterward, you returned to Xuanji City with Ji Qingxuan.]

[After telling everyone about your planned evacuation route, you all left Xuanji City together.]

[In the tenth year, your group arrived at Taiping City.]

[Because the Great Yu Dynasty had not yet been disturbed by the war, it was relatively safe here.]

[You started over here.]

[Relying on your sixth-level Golden Core cultivation, you began to methodically take control of everything in Taiping City.]

[You distributed the resources in your hands to everyone.]

[Letting them improve themselves at any cost.]

[The eleventh year.]

[You married Ji Qingxuan, but because she was a latecomer in this simulation, she could only be a concubine.]

[The Power of Leadership activated, and your cultivation improved slightly.]

[Time passed in a hurry.]

[In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth year.]

[In these years, Feng Xuanji and Ji Qingxuan each gave birth to a son and a daughter for you.]

[You named them Su Qingya and Su Qingyue.]

[At the same time, you began to devote yourself to Cultivate.]

[You did not let them continue to bear offspring for you, because you knew that such a practice was inadvisable.]

[Even if you had more offspring, the cultivation resources in your hands were fixed.]

[This would cause all of their cultivation to become slow, and it would be impossible for them to be of much help to you.]

[In the twentieth year, your eldest son Su Qingfeng successfully broke through to Qi Refining, becoming a true Cultivator.]

[You felt very happy.]

[You taught him the first volume of the Great Wilderness Beast Taming Canon, and told him not to tell anyone about this Cultivation Technique.]

[Including his mother.]

[This was not because you did not trust Feng Xuanji.]

[But because after a Cultivator reaches Nascent Soul, they can perform soul-searching; the more people who know about this Cultivation Technique, the greater the danger.]

[Moreover, Feng Xuanji's current Cultivation Technique was enough for her to Cultivate to Soul Transformation, so there was no need to switch Cultivation Technique.]

[The twenty-second year.]

[With the help of Heaven Rewards Diligence and the Power of Leadership, your cultivation successfully reached the seventh level of the Golden Core stage.]

[This was your final Bottleneck in the Golden Core stage.]

[In the same year, Taiping City also began to be disturbed by the war.]

[Fortunately, you had been on good terms with the City Lord's Mansion all these years.]

[During the Great Yu Dynasty's first conscription, he did not send out the Cultivators under your command.]

[You began to continue to maintain a good relationship with the City Lord.]

[At this point, you were no longer that greenhorn who had just started out; you knew deeply that if you wanted to establish a foothold in the Cultivation World, the importance of greasing palms was paramount.]

[The twenty-fifth year.]

[The war of the Great Yu Dynasty intensified, and the City Lord, Sun Tianping, found you and said: "Brother, the pressure from above is too tight; our Taiping City can no longer find enough manpower. Why not let those people under your command..."]

[Looking at the greedy Sun Tianping, you did not speak, but silently gave him most of the Spirit Stones you had harvested in Taiping City over these years.]

[You did not feel regret.]

[Because in your view, he was just temporarily keeping the Spirit Stones for you.]

[The thirty-first year.]

[A Cultivator who called herself the Taiping True Monarch came to Taiping City.]

[Her strength was unfathomable.]

[Even Sun Tianping, who had Golden Core cultivation, could not help but tremble in her presence.]

[Sun Tianping asked you for help.]

[You knew that this person was Mu Ningshuang.]

[At this time, she was just starting out, still looking for a way for the villagers in the Ancient Wood Realm to Cultivate.]

[And currently, she was at most at the Early Stage of the Golden Core.]

[That terrifying pressure likely came from the Floating Cloud Immortal Mirror she carried with her.]

[In the last simulation, you had not seen the Floating Cloud Immortal Mirror with your own eyes, so you did not know what level of Spiritual Artifact it specifically was.]

[But one thing was certain: its grade must be quite high.]

[Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for it to release pressure that could make all Cultivators feel fear.]
