Inside Simulation
[You found a secluded cave and began your refining of the Nine Netherworld Mysterious Flame.]
[In the 70th year, the reward from the Combat Ranking System arrived.]
[Ding, Congratulations to the host for maintaining his 1st rank in Yongcheng City, and you were rewarded with the talent: Immune to Poisons (Blue).]
[Ding, Congratulations to the host for maintaining his 1st rank in Qingcheng County, and you were rewarded with the resource: 156 Top-grade Spirit Stones.]
[Ding, Congratulations to the host for maintaining his 1st rank in the Taiping Dynasty, and you were rewarded with the item: The Extreme Yang True Flame.]
[Immune to Poisons (Blue): You are immune to most poisons.]
[Top-Grade Spirit Stone:
1 Top-Grade Spirit Stone = 100 High-Grade Spirit Stones = 10,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones = 1 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.]
[Extreme Yang True Flame: It is a flame full of Yang energy, which is the nemesis of an Extreme Yin Flame. They cannot coexist in the same body until the host has a Strong Technique capable of suppressing both and allowing them to coexist.]
[When you saw the rewards this time, you were excited, because the Extreme Yang True Flame is the most useful thing for now, or even for the future. Not only does your Great Burning Heaven Technique have the qualities to suppress them, but it also has an additional feature: if you let these nemesis flames run rampant inside your body, over time they will strengthen the body without allowing either to gain the upper hand. They will fight inside your body until the heavens collapse. This will also make your Prison-Suppressing Divine Body stronger over time.]
[And as for the other rewards, they were useful as well, especially the talent.]
[A year later, in the 71st year, you successfully refined the Nine Netherworld Mysterious Flame. Just as you refined the flame, you suddenly experienced an enlightenment. When you opened your eyes, you had comprehended the Flame Intent to the 7th level, and your Flame Sword Intent also reached the 7th level.]
[After refining the flame, you found that your Prison-Suppressing Divine Body had reached minor proficiency, and your Spiritual Root of Fire had become a Top-Grade Spirit Root. However, you didn't let the flame run rampant inside your body for now. Instead, you suppressed it and began refining the Extreme Yang True Flame.]
[After refining the flame, your cultivation also broke through to the Peak Stage of the Nascent-Soul Realm. Right now, you could only mourn your Taotie Bloodline talent in your heart, for it hadn't been useful in increasing your cultivation. In fact, almost every time you left the Holy-Sword Sect, your cultivation was already at the peak of the realm, leaving no room for improvement. But it wasn't useless. It remained strong enough for you to devour others' laws and integrate them into yourself, so you shouldn't be discouraged.]
[In the 73rd year of the simulation, you successfully refined the Extreme Yang True Flame. Although it didn't upgrade the grade of your Prison-Suppressing Divine Body, it did upgrade your Top-Grade Fire Spiritual Root to a Holy-Grade Fire Spiritual Root.]
[Moreover, you again experienced enlightenment, this time comprehending the Flame Law as well as the Law of Flame Sword.]
[After refining both the Nine Netherworld Mysterious Flame and the Extreme Yang True Flame, you canceled their suppression. Just a few seconds later, you found that their fight had already begun, and you felt your body growing stronger slowly.]
[These four years marked the period in which your strength grew the fastest. Compared to before you refined the Nine Netherworld Mysterious Flame, your strength now improved by leaps and bounds.]
[When you felt that everything had been accomplished, you decided to return to the Holy-Sword Sect.]
[When you returned to Hidden Sword Peak, your master was shocked to see your cultivation had increased so much in just four years. He quickly examined your body to ensure you weren't possessed by an old artifact and confirmed that wasn't the case. His shock turned into a sigh of relief.]
[He didn't investigate why your cultivation had increased so much in just four years, nor did he ask where you had been. For this reason, your admiration for your master grew even stronger.]

"This old man is awesome. He didn't ask how I managed to condense the Supreme Foundation or this matter. You've earned my respect for real, old man."

Inside Simulation
[Now you knew there was no room for further improvement in your cultivation. You had to wait for the Ancient Ruins to open. For this reason, you began to wait patiently, focusing on honing your newly created sword style and comprehending the Sword Law.]
[In the 74th year, you comprehended the 6th level of Sword Law.]
[By the 78th year, your proficiency in the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique had reached its Peak.]
[Upon entering the 82nd year, you received news that turned the world upside down: the position of Holy Child of the Holy-Sword Sect, vacant for millions of years, had finally found a successor—a Legal Inheritor.]
[You knew there were two types of Saints.]
[First, the Legal Inheritor: One whose talent in swordsmanship, combat, comprehension, temperament, etc., were all top-notch. Their records must clearly show they never joined other forces, enabling them to inherit the position.]
[The Legal Inheritor's position was comparable to that of the current Holy Lord, and they could practice the core techniques of any peak.]
[Second, the Honorable Saint: Also fulfilling the same criteria, but because they belonged to other forces, they could not inherit the Legal Inheritor position. Instead, their power was comparable to the Young Holy Lord, like yours.]
[You knew the exact criteria for these distinctions.]
[For example:
Talent of Swordsmanship: Lit up 14 Sword Patterns.
Combat Strength: Invincible in the same realm.
Comprehension: Able to fight a Top-Grade Puppet of the same realm and evade every attack smoothly.
Temperament: Break the Illusion within 3 minutes.]
[You could pass all the tests except the Sword Testing Stele. You didn't think your talent was weak—it was simply invisible.]
[There was a grand celebration throughout the Holy-Sword Sect. You joined in the festivities.]
[During the celebration banquet, you learned the Holy Child of the Holy-Sword Sect was a girl named Ling Yujian. She came from a humble background, which was apparent from her silly expression. She seemed overwhelmed by the grandeur, visibly nervous.]
[You were quite amused by her expression and found it funny.]
[After the celebration ended, you returned to your place and resumed practicing.]
[In the 93rd year, you suddenly felt that the spiritual energy of the Xuantian Realm had risen dramatically, alarming many people, including your master.]
[You asked your master what was happening. He murmured to himself, "You have Talent, Background, and Strength, and now you're qualified to know about the Xuantian Alliance."]
[When he finished murmuring, he turned toward you and said, "We have destroyed another realm that was trying to invade ours."]

Hidden Sword Peak of the Holy-Sword Sect
[After a day of explanation, you understood everything.]
[Millions of years ago, a wormhole connected the Xuantian Realm with many other realms, and beings from the other side began invading their world. Unfortunately for them, they chose to invade the Xuantian Realm, ranked among the top 10 in the entire universe.]
[As time passed, many realms attempting to invade the Xuantian Realm were destroyed one by one. When other realms realized Xuantian's strength, they began forming alliances and launched group invasions.]
[Yet, in this fight, the most terrifying and mysterious force in Xuantian—the Shen Family—joined the resistance, single-handedly establishing the Xuantian Alliance, consisting of every major force in the realm.]
[There were strict rules prohibiting the disclosure of this sensitive news to ordinary citizens to avoid panic and internal strife.]
[When you finished listening, you asked about the current situation of the Xuantian Alliance.]
[Your master replied coolly, "My dear disciple, you have seriously underestimated the strength of the Xuantian Realm. It is far stronger than you think."]
[Hearing this, you felt relieved. At least you had time to become stronger.]
[You only hoped they could hold until you grew stronger. At the moment, you thought everything your master said was to soothe you and prevent you from worrying.]
[Five years later, in the 98th year of simulation, the Competition of the Younger Generation of the Eastern Wilderness was about to begin.]
