Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 105: Bai Moyu, the leader of the Celestial Verdant Sect

[In the fiftieth year, your Martial Dao cultivation broke through to the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.]

[In the same year, you had a chance encounter with Bai Ruoxue.]

[You quickly seized the opportunity to ask her how to leave the Eastern Regions and travel to other major regions.]

[Upon hearing your question, Bai Ruoxue mentioned a place to head southward to the Southern Regions.]

[But that wasn't what you wanted. You asked her about the routes from the Eastern Regions to the other two major regions.]

[Hearing this, Bai Ruoxue seemed to want to say something but couldn't find the words.]

[She felt she should know the answer to your question, but why didn't she have any memory of it?]

[Bai Ruoxue desperately tried to recall, suddenly clutching her head and rolling on the ground in pain.]

[Seeing this, you were utterly confused, with a thousand questions running through your mind: "What's going on?"]

[You just asked how to leave the Eastern Regions, so why is she rolling on the ground?]

[After a long while, Bai Ruoxue got up from the ground, looking at you curiously and asking how you left the Southern Regions.]

[Hearing this, you felt a chill down your spine.]

[How could it be?]

[Bai Ruoxue actually asked you how to leave the Southern Regions!]

[You stared at Bai Ruoxue for a long time, confirming she wasn't faking it.]

[You concluded that she had lost her memory.]

[You suddenly recalled her clutching her head and rolling on the ground earlier.]

[You speculated that maybe she couldn't say how to leave the Eastern Regions.]

[Your guess was partially correct but not entirely.]

[You didn't know that the real reason was that Bai Ruoxue had no memory of this at all.]

[No, to be precise, her memories in this regard were sealed.]

[If she tried to recall forcibly, she would experience the same kind of painful rolling on the ground.]

[Eventually, she would lose even more memories.]

[Unfortunately, you were unaware of all this.]

[At this moment, you looked up at the sky, still speculating.]

[You suspected you were being watched, that a powerful being was observing this place.]

[But soon, you dismissed this possibility.]

[You thought that if that were the case, you probably wouldn't be able to leave the Southern Regions at all.]

[Finally, you had a bolder idea.]

[You thought that perhaps not just the Southern Regions, but the other major regions were also playgrounds for powerful beings from the Immortal Realm?]

[It's just that most people in these regions were unaware?]

[At least, you knew Bai Ruoxue definitely didn't know, otherwise, she wouldn't have failed to reveal anything in so many simulations.]

[In the end, you took a deep breath and decided to use your old method to deceive Bai Ruoxue.]

[Then, you casually suggested that you wanted to join her sect.]

[This was a plan you had just come up with.]

[Since Bai Ruoxue didn't know, then as the strongest sect in the Eastern Regions, the Celestial Verdant Sect should have someone who knew something.]

[You planned to join this sect and see if you could get some real information from the higher-ups.]

[With your strength and talent, you indeed had the qualifications to join the Celestial Verdant Sect. After a moment of thought, Bai Ruoxue agreed to introduce you to the sect.]

[In the fifty-first year, with Bai Ruoxue's introduction, you successfully joined the Celestial Verdant Sect.]

[You became a guest elder of the Celestial Verdant Sect.]

[Although the title of guest elder included the word "elder," it was far inferior to Bai Ruoxue's status as a direct disciple.]

[After all, a guest elder represented an outsider and had no real authority.]

[In fact, this was also because your strength was too strong to be a regular disciple.]

[And as a newcomer, you couldn't gain the trust of the Celestial Verdant Sect to become a direct disciple.]

[So, the position of guest elder was the most suitable for you, neither too high nor too low.]

[You came here to gather information, and this position didn't have enough authority.]

[However, you knew that you had to take things one step at a time.]

[As a newcomer, becoming a guest elder was better than being a regular disciple.]

[You could barely accept it.]

[In the fifty-fifth year, your Martial Dao reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm, and your Immortal Dao also reached the peak of the Great Ascension stage.]

[You felt a bit excited, as you were finally about to break through to a higher realm.]

[In the fifty-sixth year, your Martial Dao first broke through to the Half-Saint Realm, followed closely by your Immortal Dao reaching the Tribulation Crossing stage.]

[As you reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm, the sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and a tribulation began to gather.]

[This was unexpected for you, as in the Southern Regions, others who broke through to the Tribulation Crossing stage never had a tribulation descend.]

[In previous simulations, you had only seen your father attract a lightning tribulation when he broke through to the Immortal Realm!]

[Although your cultivation was special, apart from causing a stir during the Core Formation stage, other breakthroughs hadn't caused any significant commotion.]

[Unexpectedly, when you reached the Tribulation Crossing stage, changes occurred again.]

[This made your heart race with anxiety.]

[You worried that the immortals of the Immortal Realm might be up to something again.]

[Just as you were lost in thought, the sect master of the Celestial Verdant Sect, Bai Moyu, shouted, "Leave the sect's boundaries to undergo your tribulation."]

[Hearing this, you realized you were still within the sect's range.]

[If the tribulation really descended, wouldn't half the sect be destroyed?]

[So, without hesitation, you flew out of the sect's boundaries.]

[Three days later, you successfully passed the lightning tribulation and returned to the Celestial Verdant Sect.]

[Upon your return, you were summoned by the sect master, Bai Moyu.]

[Bai Moyu stared at you for a long time before finally saying, "You didn't even know that entering the Tribulation Crossing stage requires undergoing a tribulation."]

[Hearing this, you were stunned. You had never considered this question before, thinking it was a personal issue. Unexpectedly, it was a common occurrence for cultivators in this place to attract a lightning tribulation when reaching the Tribulation Crossing stage.]

[Before you could think further, Bai Moyu continued, asking who you really were and where you came from.]

[You hadn't expected Bai Ruoxue to be so loyal, as she had never mentioned that you weren't from the Eastern Regions.]

[However, since Bai Moyu asked, you didn't hide it and directly stated that you came from the Southern Regions.]

[You felt this wasn't something that couldn't be said.]

[From Bai Ruoxue's memory loss, you knew there were definitely secrets here, and you guessed they were related to the Immortal Realm.]

[And this sect master of the Celestial Verdant Sect probably knew quite a bit.]

[So, you thought you were likely allies.]

[Previously, you hadn't had the opportunity to interact with this sect master, but now was a perfect chance.]

[Even if you were wrong, you were willing to take the risk.]

[After hearing your words, Bai Moyu seemed thoughtful and finally sighed, "Yes, apart from the Southern Regions, where else could someone come from?"]

[Bai Moyu waved his hand and directly grabbed you.]

[You wanted to resist, but it was futile as you were tightly restrained by him.]

[However, Bai Moyu didn't harm you but instead flew off into the distance with you.]

[You didn't know where he was taking you.]

[But you were already deeply shocked, as Bai Moyu's strength was formidable.]

[You had just broken through to the first level of the Tribulation Crossing stage in Immortal Dao and the first level of the Half-Saint Realm in Martial Dao; theoretically, you should be able to match a normal ninth-level Tribulation Crossing expert.]

[However, when facing Bai Moyu's restraint, you had no power to resist.]

[You had used the Eye of Insight to check, and Bai Moyu was only at the ninth level of the Tribulation Crossing stage.]

[This made your previously somewhat arrogant heart, due to multiple instances of surpassing levels in battle, settle down. You kept warning yourself not to be complacent, not to underestimate anyone in the world.]
