[Current Simulation Energy Consumption: 10,000,000,000]

"Start simulation!"

[Ding! The current Rank of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator is lv6. You may choose any of the following Orange Talents.]

[Everlasting Immortal Dao (Orange): Your Luck becomes incomparably prosperous; you will always encounter Opportunities very easily.]

[Great Dao Immortal Venerable (Orange): Your cultivation speed receives a massive boost, all attributes are significantly enhanced, and your path of cultivation is perfectly smooth. You will never develop Heart Demons, and the Lightning Tribulations you face will be drastically weakened.]

[Immortal's Might (Orange): You will gain the pressure of the True Immortal Realm. This pressure is extremely powerful, capable of directly suppressing even Mahayana Cultivators.]

"This is simply..."

Su Xuan murmured to himself.

The three options appearing before his eyes were worlds apart compared to previous ones.

It could be said that even just one of them would be enough to make someone become or even surpass the Children of Luck that appeared in this world.

Everlasting Immortal Dao would grant powerful Luck.

This point alone was already quite ridiculous.

After all, didn't those Children of Luck like Tang Chuan and Chu Han rely on this sort of thing to grow?

Immortal's Might could directly crush a Mahayana Cultivator to death.

It would ensure that he wouldn't be at anyone's mercy, even within the Xuanhuang Great World.

As for Great Dao Immortal Venerable, it provided a boost to all attributes, making the path of cultivation incredibly smooth, avoiding future Heart Demons, and weakening Lightning Tribulations.

This talent was undoubtedly the most powerful among them.

After all, the Xuanhuang Great World was nothing like the current world; the Lightning Tribulations there were far more powerful.

Legend has it that the Lightning Tribulations of the Immortal Venerable Realm could even destroy an entire real world!

"System, I choose Great Dao Immortal Venerable!"

[Ding! Selection successful, simulation beginning!]

[Feeling the powerful strength within your body, a hint of a smile involuntarily appeared on your lips.]

[Now, you even have the strength to fight against the Mahayana Cultivators of this world; you could be said to be invincible under heaven.]

[You intend to go and make up for all your past regrets.]

[Year One.]

[You arrived at Burial Immortal Mountain.]

[Under the Stone Turtle's horrified gaze, you split open the Dragon Vein Seal with a single palm strike and directly took out the Power of Destiny.]

[This time, although Crisis Awareness sent a faint ripple of warning, it was not intense.]

[You began to wait quietly for the person behind the scenes to arrive.]

[Several hours later, an old man emerged from the Void Realm and attacked you.]

[You exchanged several rounds of blows with him, eventually securing victory with a slight advantage.]

[But the old man was not to be trifled with; he immediately took a desperate stance, reaching a stalemate with you on the spot.]

[In the end, you were the first to speak: "Old gentleman, I have no ill intent, and I am not interested in this Power of Destiny."]

["I just want to hear your story."]

["My story?"]

[The old man frowned and asked, "What do you want to know?"]

["The Xianling Sect, your identity, the source of this Power of Destiny, and what you intend to do."]

[The string of questions you asked directly shocked the old man, causing him to retreat repeatedly.]

["You, you, you... who on earth are you?"]

[Looking at the old man's reaction, you did not speak immediately but nodded gently.]

[The moment you saw him, you sensed his identity through his aura.]

[A person of the Xianling Sect!]

[It was an aura similar to that of Feng Qinger and Su Qingluo.]

[Although you didn't know exactly what this represented, you were certain there was a connection between them.]

[Seeing you fall silent, the old man immediately tried to flee, but how could you easily let him leave?]

[Under the attribute boost of Great Dao Immortal Venerable, your strength had reached the Peak of this world.]

[Never mind this old man's mere sixth-layer Crossing Tribulation cultivation; even if he possessed Mahayana cultivation, it would be to no avail.]

[You defeated the old man once again.]

[This time he also understood that he was far from being your match.]

["Words are useless. Perform a Soul Search; I won't resist."]

["Hmm?!"]

[You didn't expect the person before you to be so cooperative, but after a moment's hesitation, you stepped forward and performed a Soul Search on him.]

[Soul Searching...]

[The old man's memories were vast; it took you a full hour to sort through them.]

[His name was Zhong Qin, an Elder of the Xianling Sect and a member of the Conservative Faction within the sect.]

[Ten thousand years ago, the Sect Master of the Xianling Sect, unable to achieve a Breakthrough and Ascension despite reaching the Peak of Crossing Tribulation, invented a method to forge Power of Destiny.]

[That was to absorb the power of Small Worlds!]

[He linked multiple Small Worlds together, fused the Heaven and Earth Luck from those worlds into a suitable human body, and then used a Formation to refine them and their respective Luck together to form a Pseudo-Mandate of Heaven Power.]

[Naturally, this forged Power of Destiny was far inferior to the real thing.]

[They provided very little help to Cultivators. If a Cultivator was at the Early Stage of Crossing Tribulation, it was fine, but if they reached the eighth layer of Crossing Tribulation, it could only push them up by a single sub-Realm.]

[It was impossible for it to directly push a first-layer Crossing Tribulation Cultivator to Mahayana like the real Power of Destiny could.]

[Fortunately, however, this kind of Power of Destiny could break limits just like the real one, allowing Peak Crossing Tribulation Cultivators to break their limits and reach Mahayana Ascension.]

[So over these years, almost all the Ascenders in the entire Cultivation World used this method.]

[But this method of Ascension was extremely harmful to the heavens.]

[It not only required refining a large number of 'Formation Cores' into one, but it also required sacrificing all living beings within the Small Worlds.]

[It could be said that for every Ascender, their path was accompanied by the deaths of millions of people.]

[The gray Power of Destiny you refined previously was not like this, however.]

[It was an embryonic form that had taken tens of thousands of years to condense within the Dragon Vein. The Xianling Sect had discovered it long ago, and the reason they didn't refine it immediately was not only because it wasn't fully mature, but also because this place was discovered by the Conservative Faction—and none of them dared to undergo Ascension!]

[Yes, no one dared to undergo Ascension!]

[The Xianling Sect Master who successfully ascended back then managed to send a message back to the Xianling Sect using some unknown method.]

[In the current Upper Realm, the Human Race has been reduced to lambs raised by other races.]

[They can only survive humbly in the world.]

[Even the most powerful Immortal King Realm experts of the Human Race have become Puppets of other powerful races.]

[Furthermore, this situation is constantly worsening.]

[As long as a slightly talented member of the Human Race is born, what awaits them is not a rise to power, but death!]

[Powerful races will immediately devour these humans with decent talent, making the Human Race in the Upper Realm increasingly weak.]

[The Human Race... has no hope of ever rising again!]
