Though he was somewhat clever previously, after all, Pei Xuanjing had shielded him from many storms, and he hadn’t undergone true hardships.

This time, while adventuring in the martial world, despite Bai Xiaosheng’s covert protection, Pei Xuanjing had instructed that unless it was a life-or-death situation, he should handle things on his own, without interference.

Pang Hong, just off the mountain, had just broken through to the Sixth Grade Martial Artist. At just twenty years old, even if he wasn’t comparable to the direct disciples of large influential forces, he was considered above average.

Over the course of over two years, he had shed his innocence and gradually matured.

In that period, he had returned to Shenxiao Mountain and, finding that Pei Xuanjing was still in seclusion, he simply left a letter to report his safety and went off again to adventure.

During Pei Xuanjing’s seclusion, Yu Zhenzi and others did not stop working. Roughly half a year after Pei Xuanjing had obtained the Netherworld Book, Yu Zhenzi finally took temporary control of the power the former Lord of Shenxiao Gate had left behind.

For this, Pei Xuanjing deliberately ended his seclusion, descended the mountain, and demonstrated his authority. He subdued those who opposed him.

However, among those people, besides a few who Pei Xuanjing deemed worth paying attention to and held under his sword intent, he didn’t use such methods on the rest. Instead, he handed them over to Yu Zhenzi as a test.

To Pei Xuanjing, expanding his influence was just a means to an end, not his final goal.

All he did was to prepare resources for his cultivation, to support his practice.

Yu Zhenzi and the others were overjoyed at Pei Xuanjing•s delegation of power, their resistance towards him further reduced, and they were almost completely subservient.

After completing all of this, Pei Xuanjing returned to Shenxiao Mountain once more.

One day on Shenxiao Mountain, Pei Xuanjing finally refined the Taoyun values of the two pages of the Netherworld Book, along with the Taoyun accumulated through several other martial studies.

[Taoyun: 235,321 points.]

[Do you want to use the Life Simulator? Each use requires 100,000 Taoyun points.]

After adjusting his state, he began a new round of life simulation.

[Life Simulation Begins:]

At 32: The head of the Mire Sect, Zhao Baiyang, ascends Shenxiao Mountain. You both cross swords but it ends in a draw. He invites you to assassinate the emperor in Tiandu, but you refuse.

At 33: You quietly go to Tiandu, but not to assassinate the emperor. Instead, you use the chaos to infiltrate the imperial secret vault and seek confidential records.

In one of the secret treasure rooms, you encounter a mysterious old eunuch whose strength matches any strong foe you’ve faced.

You cross hands with him, which results in numerous experts converging on your location. To avoid being surrounded and attacked, you choose to leave.

You never expected that while you wanted to fish in troubled waters, you inadvertently helped Zhao Baiyang divert attention.

The emperor dies without an heir, and as per his last testament, King Xing ascends the throne in Tiandu.

At 34: You receive news about array research from Taoist Qingxu. You make plans, but on the way out, you are ambushed by Fengdu, the Ruler of the Underworld.

Due to your repeated clashes with the Underworld, and having acquired the Page of the Netherworld’s Book which Fengdu considered his, he was fuming with rage.

Facing one of the top fighters in the world, you rely on your insights from the illusory realm to spar with him. During a fierce fight, by chance you both are swept into a forbidden blessed land. Fortunately, you two were not trapped together.

Three months later, you emerge from the forbidden land only to find it under Tartar control.

Your appearance was due to the Tartar tribe attempting to open the forbidden land. Confronted with your sudden appearance, numerous Tartar experts attack.

You put up a fierce fight, killing numerous foreign tribal experts before escaping.

At 35: You return to the Central Plains. At this point, because you managed to hold your own against Fengdu, and calmly escaped from numerous top-ranked Tartar experts, your reputation reached its peak. Yu Zhenzi suggested that now was the perfect time to re-establish Shenxiao. You gladly agreed.

Half a year later, using the Shenxiao Command token , you obtained a map that led to the Shenxiao Sect’s secret inheritance and entered it alone. You acquired the Shenxiao Sect’s sect-defending Jade Book, ‘Shenxiao Jade Clear Secret Record”.

At 36: You sent out a broad invitation to all heroes, notifying various factions about your preparation to re-established Shenxiao Sect. Being in awe of your fame, even the Great Ming imperial court turned a blind eye to this, as internally they were dealing with the new emperor’s ascension and instability.

At 37: You re-established Shenxiao Sect on Shenxiao Mountain. Confronting the many heroes of the martial world, regardless of their motives, you proved your superior strength, leaving many with nothing to say.

At the same time, you announced to all sides that you were preparing to challenge the Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain. This immediately sent ripples through the martial world. At 38: You climbed Dragon Tiger Mountain and crossed swords with the Heavenly Master there. It was a draw.

At that time, the True Martial Sect Array was activated, and your plan was successful.

At 39: Heroes from all over gathered on Taihe Mountain. You, Taoist Qingxu, and Bai Xiaosheng, united the Taoist forces to put an end to the incident. Meanwhile, the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth was revived.

At 40: With the revival of Heaven and Earth, the reshuffling of forces had arrived again. The situation in the martial world and the court seemed calm on the surface, but beneath the surface, turbulent undercurrents surged.

At 41: You cultivated the “Shenxiao Jade Clear Secret Record” but saw no progress. But at this time, you inadvertently discovered another path of cultivation – the method of Body Refining Cultivation..
