Chapter 207: One Hurdle After Another After Another!
【1205 years old: To monopolize the Immortal Lord’s Remains, you engineered a diversion, then explored the Immortal Lord’s Remains with your father.】
【As a ray of sunset light descended, the Immortal Lord’s Remains emerged, and there appeared one armor, one seal, and one cauldron, suspended in the void.】
【1206 years old: Last year, you and your father explored the Immortal Lord’s Remains and reaped enormous rewards. The items left behind by the Immortal Lord were all third-tier top-grade Immortal Artifacts, and you also subdued a Human Immortal powerhouse.】
【……】
【1356 years old: Aided by the third-tier top-grade Immortal Artifacts, your father successfully stepped into the Human Immortal Realm, and your cultivation also reached the Nine-Turn True Immortal level.】
【At the same time, because of your extraordinary talent, powerful figures would always come to pledge allegiance to you for no apparent reason.】
【1357 years old: Your father began to govern diligently, vigorously recruiting wandering True Immortals. Relying on your reputation and talent, he established a Human Immortal-level faction in an extremely short time: the Great Evil Immortal Sect.】
【1358 years old: In order to break through to Human Immortal, you decided to enter secluded cultivation. But just as you were preparing to assault the Human Immortal Realm, word came from the lower realm’s Great Evil Dynasty: a subject had rebelled.】
【1359 years old: To quell the rebellion, you had no choice but to interrupt your secluded cultivation and prepare to descend to the lower realm. The resources required for descending to the lower realm were exorbitant, so your father did not agree.】
【The two of you argued to no avail. In the end, you and your father discussed sending a single Immortal Artifact down to the lower realm. Though the resources spent were more than ten times the value of the Immortal Artifact itself, there was no other way.】
【In the end, the Immortal Artifact descended to the lower realm. With the Immortal Artifact, your descendants finally succeeded in quelling the rebellion.】
【……】
【1460 years old: You successfully passed the Human Immortal Tribulation and stepped into the Human Immortal Realm, becoming the youngest Human Immortal in the history of the Great Evil Immortal Sect. But ever since breaking through to Human Immortal, you felt tremendous pressure in your cultivation. Breakthroughs were slow, and progress was minimal.】
【1498: You attempted secluded cultivation, but it had no effect.】
【1499: You attempted secluded cultivation, but it had no effect.】
【1500: You attempted secluded cultivation, but it had no effect.】

“Hoo… So that’s it! Every five hundred years of Simulation unlocks a new function!”
Lu Qingyang looked at the rows of System notification panels that had suddenly popped up before him, feeling a faint stir of excitement.
“Simulation Anchor?”
“What is that now?”
Lu Qingyang could not help but want to try it out.
But he restrained his patience and first upgraded a Simulation attribute.
“Upgrade, Family Background!”
【Ding! Simulation attribute upgraded successfully!】
【Family Background: 22nd rank】
As the System notification tone for the attribute upgrade fell, Lu Qingyang finally turned his attention to the items that could be brought back.
“The Supreme Precious Treasure and the Dynasty Treasury are both items belonging to lower-realm cultivators.”
“Though they’re of some use to me, for my current realm, their aid is truly too little.”
“Only this Flower of Merit, the Nine-Turn Mystic Dragon Pill, and the Immortal Lord’s Remains are of great help to me!”
At this thought, a smile appeared on Lu Qingyang’s face.
“The Flower of Merit can form the Body of Merit. It’s a good thing.”
“The Nine-Turn Mystic Dragon Pill can help a True Immortal break through. I can’t use it now, but it will definitely be useful later.”
“As for this Human Immortal Remains, needless to say, every single one is a good item!”
Lu Qingyang’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the Immortal Lord’s Remains, his gaze shining.
But he still could not bring himself to make the final decision.
“Simulation can bring it back once, and Return to True can also bring it back once.”
“It’s just that the path in Return to True won’t necessarily overlap perfectly with the Simulation.”
“There’s a good chance I won’t encounter these items again in Return to True…”
Thinking of this, a hesitant expression flickered across Lu Qingyang’s face.
“Forget it! Right now I’m about to face the Xuanji Clan. After this battle, there will inevitably be a counterattack from the Demon Race!”
“Better to pick the one that can handle this situation first!”
Lu Qingyang steadied himself. He had made up his mind.
“Bring it back! Human Immortal Remains… the Armor!”
“Boom!”
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, on a successful retrieval.】
【Item Name: Thunder Prison Inner Immortal Armor】
【Item Origin: Obtained from exploring a Human Immortal Immortal Lord’s Remains during Simulation】
【Item Analysis: Thunder Prison Inner Immortal Armor. A third-tier top-grade defensive Immortal Armor, forged from superior Immortal Ore.】
【Item Note: Within this realm, it ranks as an extremely precious item among third-tier Immortal Artifacts. It guards against external wounds and internal soul attacks. Human, demon, ghost, devil, beast — none can penetrate its defense.】
As the System notification sounded, an Immortal Armor of heavy Immortal Might appeared out of thin air before him.
Fortunately, he had set up a sealing formation in advance, isolating the aura inside and outside the cabin.
Otherwise, this wisp of Immortal Might would likely have frightened Ma Liang into gasping several mouthfuls of cold air!
“Good armor!”
Looking at this Immortal Armor before him, Lu Qingyang praised it endlessly.
The Immortal Armor shimmered with silvery-white light.
It was as if the entire armor was wrapped in a layer of mysterious metallic dream.
It made one unable to resist reaching out to touch its hardness and coldness.
Upon closer look.
At the center of the chest was embedded a dazzling golden bead.
Resplendent and eye-catching, like a star.
Inside the bead flickered pale golden Runes.
At times slowly circulating, at times flickering unsteadily.
As if softly chanting some ancient incantation in a low voice, mysterious and enchanting.
Such a magnificent and power-filled Immortal Armor made Lu Qingyang unable to help but yearn for it.
“And it just happens to be an inner armor!”
“I’ll wear it on the inside, with that first-tier Immortal Armor on the outside. I’d really like to know who in this realm can break my defense!”
“In future battles, I shall be unscathed!”
Lu Qingyang reached out to try and take the Immortal Armor down.
Weng~
The Immortal Armor quivered and hummed, as if a layer of peculiar patterns had surfaced on its surface.
Then it transformed into a halo of flowing water and merged into Lu Qingyang’s body.
Lu Qingyang felt his whole body warm, a current of heat traveling through his limbs and bones, a pleasant sensation coursing through him.
In but a few moments.
A brand-new Immortal Armor draped over him, fitting him with extreme precision.
Afterward, Lu Qingyang spent effort refining the Immortal Armor.
Only after finishing all this did Lu Qingyang turn his attention to the System’s new function…
