Chapter 22 - 21: The Reasons Behind the Forbidden Place and the Blessed Land
Having progressed to a Fifth Rank Martial Artist, in a place like Anping Prefecture where Fourth-grade martial artists seldom appear, Pei Xuanjing could already be considered one of the top powers.
If he were so inclined, with his current strength, he could easily create a force in the Anping Prefecture that would be second only to the Jin family, the Liu family, and Shen's Business Association. Alternatively, he could join these forces and hold high positions.
However, Pei Xuanjing naturally wouldn't have such a narrow vision. In his plan, Anping Prefecture was merely a temporary resting place in his life journey.
Since he had come to this world and had the support of the life simulator, why would he be content to dwell here? He wanted to experience a larger sky, to set foot on the peak of martial arts, and even to pursue the footsteps of the legendary Fairy God.
Even though he has now reached the strength of a Fifth Rank martial artist, he still does not become complacent because he knows that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond the heavens. This world is filled with many unknowns and impossibilities.
After all, sometimes, reality can far exceed everyone's imagination.
Not to mention the far-fetched tales, let's talk about the experience from the last life simulation. During that contest amongst the young generation of the Northwest Dao, his 25-year-old self only made it into the top ten, losing to a genius from the Tie Sect who had broken through the Fifth Rank at the age of twenty.
It should be noted that Pei Xuanjing had the life simulator in hand, allowing him to break through the Fifth Rank at the age of twenty. His opponent did not have such a near-cheating type of aid.
He remembers that during his first simulation, without the help of the simulator, he could only just break through to ninth rank martial artist at the age of twenty-five. Compared to the opponent, it was a world of difference.
Although the Tie Sect is a first-class sect, it only dominates the Northwest Dao. It falls short when compared to the top-tier forces across the Great Ming empire. If they have such geniuses, won't the other forces have even more outrageous individuals?
