It actually hit the limit… Even a Golden Core simulation only goes to two hundred years old?
Looking at the newly displayed information, Lu Qingyang could not help but sigh.
He really had wanted to continue this simulation.
After simulating for so many years, he had seen good openings and bad openings. Sometimes the gains from a simulation were useful but not necessarily precious.
Other times, he could obtain a few rare items.
But never before had a simulation been as wondrous as this one.
I'm afraid this is what the ancients meant by "hear the Dao in the morning and die content in the evening."
Lu Qingyang marveled. It was his first time witnessing such a thing.
A moment later, Lu Qingyang calmed himself. He did not rush to examine the items brought back.
Instead, he turned his attention to the Attribute Panel.
【Name: Lu Qingyang】
【Constitution: Tier 7+】
【Comprehension: Tier 7+】
【Fortune: Tier 6+】
【Family Background: Tier 6+】
【Remaining Simulation Points: 97】
What I lack most right now is still cultivation. A Golden Core True Monarch has no right to speak in the Seven Stars Sea Region.
So I still have to focus on upgrading my Constitution, in hopes of obtaining better aptitude to speed up my cultivation.
At this thought, Lu Qingyang hesitated no longer. His divine sense lightly touched the black plus sign beside the Constitution column.
【Ding! Simulation attribute upgrade successful】
【Constitution: Tier 8】
【Remaining Simulation Points: 27】
Only after finishing the attribute upgrade did Lu Qingyang begin to examine the items brought back...
【Items obtainable this time: Special Constitution ×1, Old Daoist's legacy cultivation method ×1, Mysterious Character ×1】
Although this simulation only brought back three items, each one seems extraordinary.
That old Daoist goes without saying — he must have been a hidden powerhouse. When a powerhouse makes a move, it is never simple.
Whether it's the cultivation method or the character, both should be extremely powerful things.
As for that special constitution, it's also heaven-defying...
Could it be some kind of legendary Sacred Body or Immortal Body?
At this thought, Lu Qingyang could not help but swallow.
So after agonizing for a long while, Lu Qingyang still chose...
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, on a successful retrieval】
【Item name: Special Constitution】
【Item origin: Innate constitution carried from birth at the start of the simulation】
【Item analysis: Dao-less Body — a "Dao"-level spirit body】
【Item notice: One with the Dao-less Body is born incapable of cultivation. Only if the flesh is irrigated with vast resources does one have a chance to suddenly comprehend the Dao】
“Boom!”
Accompanying the system notification, a thunderous explosion suddenly rang out within Lu Qingyang's body.
This joke has gone too far...
Lu Qingyang stood there dumbly, his whole body as if struck by lightning, as though he had lost all sensation.
He never imagined it would turn out like this.
Dao-less Body.
Born unable to cultivate. Then what happens to my current cultivation?
Could it directly dissolve my cultivation?
Amid his uncertainty, Lu Qingyang felt a strange fluctuation surge out from within his body, instantly spreading to his limbs and bones.
Immediately after, a nameless white light abruptly enveloped him.
His whole body floated in the air like a silkworm cocoon.
Until, several breaths later—
“Buzz~”
The white light dispersed, and Lu Qingyang opened his eyes.
His cultivation had not disappeared, and there was nothing different about him.
If he had to name a difference, it was only that his bearing had become more ethereal.
His whole person was like an exiled immortal descended to the mortal world, making one not dare to look directly at him.
“Hoo...”
Lu Qingyang breathed slowly. He could clearly detect that although his cultivation had not changed.
A powerful hunger surged from within his body.
This hunger came with extraordinary ferocity, making Lu Qingyang even feel his scalp go numb.
This was something he had never experienced since he began cultivating.
This must be the Dao-less Body's reaction...
After pondering for a long while, Lu Qingyang flipped his right hand and pulled several spirit melons and spirit fruits from his storage bag, stuffing them into his mouth.
The moment the spirit melons and spirit fruits entered his mouth, Lu Qingyang felt a chill, and they all slid down his esophagus into his stomach.
Immediately after, the hunger did not vanish. Instead, it grew even more intense.
Right now, I really want to know what that old Daoist cooked every day in the simulation...
After muttering to himself, Lu Qingyang could not be bothered with anything else. He hurriedly rummaged through his storage bag for anything edible...
Several hours later, as the sky gradually brightened.
Lu Qingyang lay on his recliner, his expression somewhat pained.
“Burp~”
Letting out a satisfied burp, Lu Qingyang rubbed his round belly.
Finally full...
Lu Qingyang let out a long breath of relief. He sat up and stretched.
He knew it was still far too early to fully awaken the Dao-less Body.
At this moment, he had merely eaten a large amount of spirit objects in one go, producing a false sense of fullness.
Once his physique digested them, the hunger would probably strike again.
Looks like the puppet-selling plan has to be pushed up the schedule.
This one meal cost me over ten thousand spirit stones. At this rate, I can't afford to feed it.
Lu Qingyang patted his belly and gave a bitter smile. Just as he was about to rise and return to the hall.
Suddenly, a faint beeping sound reached his ears from the air.
Lu Qingyang's brow raised, and vigilance showed in his eyes. He immediately floated into the air.
At the same time, he beckoned Jiangxin down from the clouds.
"What's going on? Why did the warning jade talisman on my body issue an alert?"
Lu Qingyang pulled a jade talisman from his bosom and lowered his head to inspect it.
This jade talisman was milky white, crystalline and translucent throughout.
But the originally milky-white, translucent jade talisman was now flashing incessantly, emitting a terrifying red light!
“Beep, beep. Detected a large number of Dharma Ships and flying vessels approaching the outer sea of Tiangong Island at high speed.”
“Beep, beep. Distance 800 li, 750 li, 720 li...”
Jiangxin's indifferent voice came from the air.
At the same time, a flickering projection was cast out from its round-wheel-shaped metal body.
In the image, a massive Dharma Ship led hundreds of flying vessels speeding toward Nanshan Island.
Standing atop them were hundreds upon thousands of cultivators, clearly coming with ill intent.
This... this is...?
Looking at the scene before him, Lu Qingyang's expression changed.
Even from such a great distance, he knew the newcomers meant no good.
And at this moment, the image happened to catch the golden saber carved upon the leading Dharma Ship.
This is... people from the Heavenly Saber Sect?
I never imagined they would come so quickly.
It seems the Heavenly Saber Sect is here to wipe out my entire sect.
Lu Qingyang's gaze gradually turned cold and sharp.
The other party came with ill intent. They were certainly not here to negotiate peace.
And that suited him fine. He, Lu Qingyang, had never been in the habit of negotiating peace either.
At this thought, Lu Qingyang gave the order at once.
"Jiangxin, deploy all Skybase Weapons"
"Target one hundred li beyond the outer sea of Tiangong Island — Xu Jin's Barrage, saturated strike!"
