[When you received the news that the Secret Realm of Blood Demon had opened again, you immediately decided to go there. There were three main reasons for your decision.]
[First, to check if that mysterious person would appear again.]
[Second, to see whether the Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword was still there.]
[And third, a devilish, creepy, and cruel smile appeared on your face as you pondered the third reason.]
[The third reason was to upgrade your Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword.]
[After all, everyone who entered the Secret Realm of Blood Demon had their own selfish motives and were cruel by nature. You wouldn't regret having to kill them if necessary.]
[With this thought in mind, you arrived at the mission hall, took an easy mission, and left the Holy-Sword Sect.]
[Over the years, besides practicing Sword Law, you had also comprehended a Saint-Grade technique, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, given to you by your master, though only to minor proficiency.]
[Saint-Grade techniques were extremely rare, not even available to some major forces of the Western Wasteland. Yes, all major forces of the Eastern Wilderness had at least 2–3 Saint-Grade techniques.]
(Note: Saint-Grade is above Heavenly-Grade techniques.)
[And why wouldn't they have such techniques? The Eastern Wilderness was dominated by four major forces, whereas the Western Wasteland was governed by many smaller forces.]
[They were often troubled by internal friction between the major forces and didn't have spare time to strengthen their foundations.]
[Even if all the forces of the Western Wasteland united to attack the Eastern Wilderness, the chances of returning alive would be less than one-tenth, and many of the Western Wasteland's forces would be destroyed in the process.]
[It wasn't that the forces of the Western Wasteland were weak; it was that the Eastern Wilderness was overwhelmingly strong.]
[This was the difference between an ancient force that had ruled the world for billions of years and a newly risen force roughly a million years old—the gap was enormous.]
[It wasn't that there weren't ancient forces in the Western Wasteland, but they had declined because they failed to find worthy successors.]
Present Day.
[After days of traveling, you arrived outside the Blood Demon Secret Realm in the Da Ming Dynasty.]
[During these days, you also changed your appearance to avoid being followed by teams sent by the Holy-Sword Sect after your identity was discovered.]
[A few days later, you entered the secret realm and confirmed it was exactly as described in your previous simulation—bloody smells and an eerie atmosphere, with skeletons scattered every step of the way.]
[Without wasting time, you started your mission of hunting and upgrading.]
[Three months later, you had killed as many people as possible in silence, without warning others, and began to wait for the secret passage to open so you could go on a killing spree.]
[During these three months of killing, your gains were quite large. Without wasting time on comprehension, your Killing Intent had reached Level 3, and so had your Killing Sword Intent.]
[But the sad thing was that the Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword's grade had still not increased.]
[At that moment, a spark of light shot into the sky. Knowing it was the secret passage about to open, you headed toward it.]
[A few days later, you arrived at the location where the secret passage had opened.]
[You didn't become impulsive and attack people outside the secret passage; you decided to wait.]
[After several days, the secret passage fully opened, and you entered it with many others. But before attacking, you went to the secret cave from your last simulation and looked toward where the Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword should be.]
[When your eyes landed on the blood-red sword, joy overwhelmed you. You thought, "I can exploit spirit stones or any other things in the simulation and take it outside without affecting the real world. This is really good."]
[After confirming your guess, you returned to the secret passage's entrance to block others' escape routes.]
[Seeing others still fighting, and wanting to stop them, you attacked the people closest to you. With a single sword, you killed ten cultivators at once, attracting the attention of others.]
[Seeing your ruthlessness, many began to fear you would attack them next.]
[Without waiting for their response, you uttered provocative words: "Attack together. At least then your death won't be so lonely."]
[Hearing your words and realizing you wanted to kill everyone indiscriminately, they became desperate. If they didn't kill you, they were doomed.]
[Many began using their secret techniques, though many hesitated. After all, using their secret techniques meant risking their own lives. Unlike those who used ordinary secret methods and only sacrificed some cultivation or lifespan, using true secret techniques would definitely result in death.]
[Everyone attacked you. You unsheathed the Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword. Seeing the sword in your hand, panic spread, and many unconsciously turned toward the sword's location.]
[But just as they turned, they realized they couldn't move. You had beheaded them all.]
[With a single sword, many were beheaded, and your fear factor among others grew.]
[Some time later, after killing everyone, you prepared to leave the secret passage and return when you noticed a figure near the sword from the corner of your eyes.]
[She was a girl with hair and eyes as red as blood, beautiful enough to rival a fairy descended from the heavens.]
[Just as you immersed yourself in her image, a shocking event occurred—she effortlessly pulled out the Blood-Devouring Demonic Sword, without a ripple of temperament, unlike you in the previous simulation.]
[At that moment, a thought popped up in your mind, and you uttered in disbelief: "Is she the mysterious person who appeared in the previous simulation?"]

Author's Note:
Guys, I'm thinking that when the book is finished, I will ask you some questions related to the story. How about that?
Think carefully and answer—maybe you'll get trapped in this book, and without general knowledge, what can you do?
Hint: There will be at least one question from this chapter for sure. As for earlier chapters, I don't know.
