Chapter 210: The Eerie Qingxuan Realm!
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a random talent!】
【Congratulations, you have obtained the blue talent: Movement Technique Mastery!】
【Detected that the host already possesses the talent Movement Technique Mastery, therefore Movement Technique Mastery has been upgraded to LV2.】
【Movement Technique Mastery LV2: Comprehension of movement techniques increases by 30%, cultivation speed increases by 25%, the effects of movement techniques and Divine Powers increase by 100%, and base dodge rate increases by 8%.】
【Note: This talent has limited enhancement effects on high-tier movement Divine Powers, and when facing area-of-effect spells or lock-on attacks, its dodging advantage will be greatly weakened.】
Su Ming stared at the talent he had drawn and remained unable to recover for a long while.
He had not expected that the talents drawn by the Simulator could actually be repeated.
What surprised Su Ming even more was that duplicate talents could actually be upgraded into stronger versions with greater effects.
Inside the Simulator...
【After seeing the talent you had drawn, you could not wait to test its effects.】
【You went outside the cave and tried using the Great Void Technique.】
【However, the result left you deeply disappointed.】
【Movement Technique Mastery LV2 brought you almost no noticeable improvement at all. It merely enhanced the effect by the slightest amount.】
【After learning this result, you found it somewhat hard to accept.】
【You knew very well that Movement Technique Mastery had originally already increased the effect by 50%, yet after the upgrade, the improvement was barely noticeable.】
【At that moment, you remembered the final sentence in the talent description.】
【You thought that perhaps the rank of the Great Void Technique was simply too high, which was why Movement Technique Mastery provided only very limited enhancement to it.】
【After resting for one night, you and Xuanyuan Tianji both woke early the next morning.】
【You and Xuanyuan Tianji planned to find the nearest city or faction, wanting to learn as quickly as possible where exactly you were.】
【After leaving the canyon, you and Xuanyuan Tianji flew east the entire way.】
【You flew for a full three months, yet during those three months, you did not encounter a single force of any kind.】
【This abnormal situation made both you and Xuanyuan Tianji sense that something was off.】
【“What kind of place is this? Why has so much time passed, yet we have not seen a single person, not even a living creature?”】
【As you flew, you lowered your head and looked at the land below.】
【After observing carefully, you noticed a few clues.】
【In all the places you passed through, you discovered traces of battle everywhere across the earth, as though this Plane had once been the site of a world-shaking war.】
【As you continued flying onward, you found that no matter where you passed, you could see traces left behind by war like this.】
【“That should not be possible...”】
【Xuanyuan Tianji frowned tightly as she looked around in every direction.】
【During these past months, Xuanyuan Tianji’s body had been automatically absorbing Immortal Qi at every moment.】
【Through that Immortal Qi, Xuanyuan Tianji could say with absolute certainty that this was an Immortal World, not the Lower Realm.】
【And so, you continued flying for another half year before finally seeing a complete human city.】
【That’s right! You had finally seen an intact city!】
【The reason it was said that you had seen an intact city was because during those six months, you had already seen several ruins. Those ruins very clearly showed signs that humans had once lived there.】
【You and Xuanyuan Tianji quietly snuck into the city. The city was very large, but once you entered, you discovered that very few humans actually lived there.】
【You and Xuanyuan Tianji wanted to find an inn or tavern where you could stay and gather information, yet to your disappointment, after searching the entire city, you did not find a single tavern or inn.】
【Left with no other choice, you and Xuanyuan Tianji forcibly abducted a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm.】
【You looked at the man before you and asked him what Plane this was.】
【After hearing your question, the man, who had been suppressed by your overwhelming strength, looked at you both with a strange expression.】
【“Did you ascend from below?”】
【When you and Xuanyuan Tianji heard that, the two of you exchanged a glance, then nodded and told him that you had indeed ascended here.】
【After hearing that you had ascended, the man let out a long breath, then looked at you with pity in his eyes.】
【“You should never have ascended!”】
【“This is no longer an Immortal World. It is a hell!”】
【“The Qingxuan Realm has already become a living hell!”】
【You saw that the more the man spoke, the more emotionally unhinged he became.】
【After a long while, the man finally calmed down. He then invited you to his home to continue the conversation, saying that this was not a suitable place to talk.】
【At this point, both you and Xuanyuan Tianji had been completely drawn in by what the man had said, so you agreed without the slightest hesitation.】
【Moreover, the man’s cultivation was only at the Mahayana Realm, which posed no threat to you at all.】
【And so, you and Xuanyuan Tianji followed the man back to his residence.】
【It was a courtyard residence!】
【After entering the courtyard residence, the man told you that he lived there alone and that many rooms still stood empty. If you wished to stay, you could choose any of them.】
【Hearing that, your brows rose slightly. Just as you were about to ask him about the situation in the Qingxuan Realm, the man suddenly interrupted you and said,】
【“No rush. I bought some herbs when I went out this time. I will boil them first, then we can talk at length!”】
【As his words fell, you saw the man walk into a small room within the courtyard residence.】
【You and Xuanyuan Tianji sat in the courtyard and discussed through voice transmission what the man had just said.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji asked you what you thought about what the man had told you just now.】
【You told Xuanyuan Tianji that the man’s warning against ascending might be related to the ruins you had seen on your way here.】
【At the same time, for some reason, you suddenly thought of the situation in the Canglan Realm of the Immortal World.】
【If there was any place the Canglan Realm of the Immortal World resembled most in relation to the Qingxuan Realm, then the two shared one common point: neither of them was friendly toward ascenders.】
【The situation in the Canglan Realm was that the Bizarre Immortal Race was tyrannical. Any person who ascended there might be treated as Blood Prey and devoured by the Bizarre Immortal Race. As for the situation in the Qingxuan Realm, you still did not know it yet.】
【Gradually, as you and Xuanyuan Tianji continued your conversation, you began to notice something unusual.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji looked toward the room the man had entered and murmured softly,】
【“So much time has already passed. Why has he still not come out?”】
【Hearing that, you also sensed that something was wrong.】
【In the next instant, both you and Xuanyuan Tianji’s expressions changed dramatically.】
【At the same time, you both sensed a Barrier enclosing the entire courtyard residence.】
【Immediately afterward, the man’s laughter echoed throughout the Barrier.】
【“Hahahaha! Hahahaha!”】
【“The aura of a True Dragon! The aura on your body is far too delicious!”】
【Right afterward, you saw the man slowly walk out of the room, emitting an eerie aura completely different from before.】
