One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[This time when you consumed the Five Regions Sacred Pill, the burden on your heart was much lighter.]

[”Pill, don’t blame your master. Although I have bestowed upon you something resembling ’life,’ I must now take it away.

Do you understand?

From the Starry Domains above this human world to the continents and the Overseas below, whether human or demon tribes, the fate of them all rests upon your master’s shoulders!

Your master needs more power and longevity to accomplish this great undertaking!”]

[Even though you weren’t wearing the ”Chinese-Style Succubus,” you unconsciously slipped into the ”Chinese-Style Succubus” state.]

[And yet, the Five Regions Sacred Pill was very receptive to it.]

[”Master is right! Little Pill also wants to contribute to the human world!”]

[You said with a smile.]

[”Don’t worry, we will meet again.”][”Really?”]

[”Next time, your master won’t have to consume you.”]

[”That’s wonderful! Can Little Pill stay by Master’s side forever?”]

[”Of course.”]

[The Five Regions Sacred Pill firmly believed in the promise of reunion. Filled with anticipation, it dissolved into medicinal power and merged into your entire being.]

[A familiar feeling surged forth.]

[Your entire body grew hot, flesh and blood seethed, and the seven orifices spewed flames.]

[When everything finally settled, you rushed out of the house and tested some techniques in the mountain forest.]

[”Thanks to ’Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles’ for enhancing the medicinal power. Otherwise, consuming it at the Martial King Realm wouldn’t have yielded such good results.”]

[Your lifespan increased by another forty years.]

[At the same time, your physique underwent a transformation. Your physical body became purer. For the Martial King Realm, this would make it easier to develop foundations, meaning your natural cultivation speed would increase.]

[Additionally, your enlightenment was developed and enhanced. This enlightenment touched every aspect, which would also help you when comprehending the path of formations later.]

[Furthermore, you gained poison immunity, essentially granting you a more effective version of ”Senior Tomato User.”]

[Finally, your cultivation was directly elevated, jumping from the Early Stage of the Martial King Realm straight to the Middle Stage of the Martial King Realm!]

[This meant that your external realm had now correspondingly reached the Middle Stage of the Martial Saint Realm!]

[The difficulty of cultivating at the Martial King Realm surpassed the combined difficulty of all previous realms.]

[To break through a minor realm this quickly could only be described as lightning speed.]

[After all, many people who are fortunate enough to break through to the Martial King Realm remain stuck at the Early Stage for their entire lives because they can never develop their foundations high enough.]

[At this moment, a sudden realization struck you.]

[”It feels like the Martial King Realm’s cultivation isn’t as closely tied to Innate Talent anymore.

Innate Talent allows True Qi to accumulate faster, but what most people lack isn’t the speed of True Qi accumulation; it’s the inability to develop their foundations higher.

And developing foundations doesn’t seem to have that much to do with Innate Talent either...”]

[As your realm continuously rose, you began to touch the edges of knowledge within the cultivation system.]

[Because the inheritance of the human race was once severed, fewer people now grasp the higher principles, and less has been comprehended from them.]

[The further you go in cultivation, the less others can teach you. You must rely on your own understanding.]

[”It’s time to return to the Holy Lands and advance my path of formations.

Although I can’t see any movements from the Dragon-Man tribe in the human world right now, the less they move, the more worried I become...

Before I go back, I should go see Lingyue.”]

[You didn’t like the idea of passing by her door three times without entering. Since you were already here, why not meet up?]

[Year forty-three, age sixty-two.]

[Extracting trait tag...]

[Extraction successful!]

[”A Tank Has Rearview Mirrors” (Green Rare): A hidden eye grows from the back of your head, providing you with rear vision.]

[Adjust trait tags?]

[Yes/No]

[You replaced ”Irritable Constitution” with ”The Aura of Ten Thousand Races.”]

[You replaced ”Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles” with ”Dragon Plays with Phoenix.”]

[You rode your horse to the Southern Borderlands.]

[The border between the Central Plains and the Southern Borderlands was still embroiled in continuous warfare.]

[However, the intensity of the war was low.]

[It basically didn’t affect civilian areas. They would agree on a place in the wilderness, form battle lines, and fight it out. There was an aristocratic air to it, reminiscent of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, complete with consultations and negotiations.]

[The Female Emperor was currently busy with war matters.]

[But you didn’t plan to go to the military camp to find her this time.]

[Both you and the Female Emperor had Free and Unfettered Tokens, so you could just make an appointment directly.]

[You arrived at a remote location in the Southern Borderlands, where there was a vast expanse of flowers.]

[These flowers were enormous, multicolored, with bizarre and enchanting shapes, crowded closely together like a natural trampoline.]

[You waited here for Li Lingyue.]

[When you sensed Li Lingyue’s arrival, you released the Nine Provinces Cauldron.]

[”Da Chun, take your little friends and go play somewhere else. Come back in a day... no, a month.”]

[You stuffed all the artifacts into the Cauldron Realm.]

[This time, you planned to be truly alone with Li Lingyue.]

[As soon as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner heard you telling them to leave, it got excited and started shouting immediately.]

[”Bro! I can’t leave! Bro! If I leave, who will protect you? Who will share your worries? Who will brush your long hair? Who will make your wedding dress?!”]

[The Demon Refining Pot muttered from the side.]

[”Hey! The guy’s so happy he’s talking nonsense, still pretending to be loyal over here?”]

[You just smiled without a word.]

[As long as Da Chun didn’t open the Cauldron Realm’s exit, they couldn’t get out.]

[It seemed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner hadn’t realized that yet.]

[”Yi Ge, are we all really fine leaving you like this?”]

[”Relax. Across the entire human world, who could harm two Martial Saints?”]

[The Nine Provinces Cauldron flew away.]

[Li Lingyue flew over.]

[After years apart, when you met again, you both had so much to say to each other.]

[But as a career-oriented male lead and a career-oriented female lead, you two first chatted about work matters.]

[”You broke away from your duties. Can the military and political affairs run smoothly?”]

[”I left a clone behind. There won’t be any problems.”]

[”That’s good.”]

[”How are the war preparations on your end coming along? Any resistance?”]

[”With the Shen Family taking the lead and the full support of the Holy Lands and the Wang Clan of the Chaotic Crystal Sea, everything is going smoothly for now.”]

[”That’s good.”]

[Business was finished.]

[Then you two got down to the real business.]

[The giant flowers in the sea of blossoms closed in towards the center, their magnificent colors shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight, emitting a captivating fragrance.]

[For the next month, the entire area was filled with a sweet, happy atmosphere.]

[”Chen Lang, will the Dragon-Man tribe really come?”]

[”Yes. All Void Realm planes are their targets. If they don’t come this time, they will come eventually. It’s just a matter of time. I actually hope they come during my lifetime.”]

[”Why?”]

[”I don’t trust the wisdom of future generations. I want to accomplish this in one fell swoop!”]

[”What if we don’t live to see that day?”]

[”Then, when my lifespan is about to run out, I will take all the power of the human world and charge into the Dragon-Man Realm at any cost!”]

[Li Lingyue lifted her head from your embrace, her gaze firm.]

[”I’ll go with you.”]

[You looked down and smiled.]

[”Good.”]
