The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 15 - 14 Simulation

Chapter 15: Chapter 14 Simulation

After Shen Xiang left, Pei Xuanjing first inspected the yard before calling for a servant. He ordered hot water to wash up, as well as a table full of food and drinks.

As a Martial Artist, the need for substantial food is essential. While travelling, he had food to fill his belly, but he couldn't be too demanding about the taste.

After having a hearty meal, Pei Xuanjing sat quietly to meditate. He circulated his True Qi a few times but did not continue to cultivate. He simply laid down to sleep.

The cultivation of Martial Arts is not about constant hardship; it requires balance in tension and relaxation, oscillating between activity and rest.

The next day, Pei Xuanjing woke up looking fresh and rested, having left all of his fatigue behind.

At this time, he turned his attention to the Life Simulator.

[Taoyun: 2247 points.]

[Would you like to use the Life Simulator? One use will consume 2000 Taoyun points.]

This period was quite fruitful; he finally accumulated enough Taoyun points for another round of the Life Simulator.

After choosing 'Yes', he immediately entered another round of life simulation.

[There are fifty paths in the Great Tao, and forty-nine in the Heavenly Paths, skipping one! Therefore, all things in the world have a glimmer of life!]

At eighteen: You break through the "Yi Wood and Li Fire Skill" to the Sixth Grade realm. You decide to leave to broaden your knowledge, improve yourself, and practice Martial Arts.

At nineteen: Shortly after leaving the small town, you encounter a group of bandits attacking a merchant convoy. As a martial artist, you shouldn't ignore valor and chivalry. You help without hesitation, killing the bandits and rescuing the convoy.

The convoy's owner is extremely grateful to you, a Sixth Grade Martial Artist, for your heroic action. When you express your intention to go to Anping city in Northwest Dao, they invite you to travel with them. You agree since it's on your way.

Half a month later, you safely arrive at Anping City. You befriend the owner of the business association and, at their invitation, you stay at an inn owned by Shen's Business Association.

A few days later, while touring the city, you come across a young man and woman arguing. It seems the man is harassing the woman. You smile in amusement, preparing to leave, but the woman pulls you in to use you as a shield.

Although you're a kind person, you're not indiscriminately kind-hearted. You chastise the woman for her actions before leaving casually. However, you don't notice the resentment in the woman's eyes.

The next day, you learn that the woman comes from a rich family, the Liu family. The woman, along with her accomplices, come to harass you. Due to laws set by the Great Ming court, Martial Artists can't take actions arbitrarily. Therefore, they force you to duel at the city's Martial Arts Platform, intending to humiliate you.

On the Martial Arts Platform, you fight seven young masters alone. Even facing Liu Ruilong, who is known as one of the top-ten young masters of Anping Prefecture, you crush him effortlessly. You earn applause from the crowd and your reputation skyrockets, leaving the woman and her accomplices to depart in disgrace.

Half a month later, when you were out unexpectedly, you get ambushed by the Liu family. To plan this ambush, the Liu family even send two Sixth Grade masters.

You fight strenuously, killing all the members of the Liu family at the cost of your life. However, you also suffer severe injuries and are on the brink of death. Right at this critical time, you get saved by people sent by the prefecture lord.

In reality, the prefecture lord had started paying attention to you since you defeated the Liu family. After learning about the Liu family's plan, the prefecture lord decided to send people to determine whether you're worth saving. In the end, your performance convinces him that it was worth going against the Liu family for you.

The prefecture lord saves you, providing you with protection and using three Earth Yuan big pills to treat your severe injuries. As a token of your gratitude for him saving your life, you promise him a favor.

At twenty: While you are cultivating, you get an invitation from the prefecture lord, who needs your help in a task.

A Forbidden Place of Blessed Land has emerged. There is a restriction on the Forbidden Place of Blessed Land; only those below thirty can enter. The prefecture lord needs you to lead a team into it to snatch the treasures.

Because of the prefecture lord's kindness in saving your life and his promised generous rewards, you do not refuse.

Three months later, you lead the prefecture lord's team into the Forbidden Place of Blessed Land, seeking to seize the treasures.

However, you didn't expect that the Forbidden Place of Blessed Land would be this alluring and dangerous; it's full of crises and killing intents at every turn.

After entering the Forbidden Place of Blessed Land, you encounter the Liu family. Amidst your enemies, you make a decisive move without any hesitation and ambush the Liu family using the restrictions within the Forbidden Place.

With the help of your allies, you manage, after numerous difficulties, to seize the treasures. But before you can leave, you're surrounded by others who covet the treasures.

Despite being surrounded by many, you, with the strength of a Sixth Grade Martial Artist and the help of your team, break through the siege, seize the treasures, and safely depart from the Forbidden Place of Blessed Land.

However, unexpectedly, when you arrive at the agreed meeting place after leaving the Forbidden Place of Blessed Land, the people sent by the prefecture lord to rendezvous with you are nowhere to be found. Instead, you face an ambush by the Liu family.

The head of the Liu family personally takes action. Already wounded and facing a Fifth Rank master from the Liu family, you ultimately die.

[This life ends.]

Pei Xuanjing remains silent after seeing the results of this simulation.

Does he have a streak of bad luck that he's attracting attention wherever he goes?

The conflict with the Zhang family happened because of their ambitions in the small city.

But the grudge with the Liu family in this life simulation is majorly due to the Liu family's daughter's unreasonable actions which escalate the conflict between both parties.

Pei Xuanjing initially thought he had a good understanding of this world. But this round made him recognize the true faces of the world's powerful entities more deeply.

In this world, sometimes there's no rationale.

Or maybe, reason is only applicable when both parties stand on the same level. At least the Liu family believes he doesn't deserve to argue with them.

Regarding the prefecture lord's aid and invitation, Pei Xuanjing doesn't mind it as much, as he believes he has to provide value to gain others' help. Otherwise, why would others save him?

And then, at the end, why did the people sent by the prefecture lord not show up at the rendezvous point, and instead, the Liu family was there?

Did the prefecture lord betray him, or was there a leak in his plan?

The Prefecture Lord couldn't possibly hope for the Liu family to hand over the treasures after killing him, could he?

In that case, saving him would have been a wasted effort.

There must be something missing here, something he overlooked.
