[Within the Eastern Wilderness of the Xuantian Realm, the Holy-Sword Sect—one of the major forces of the Xuantian Realm—was seen completely abandoned.]
[And billions of miles away from there, within the sky, were seen the figures of people from the Holy-Sword Sect—running away. You were also one of them.]
[A day ago.]
[Within the Hidden Sword Peak of the Holy-Sword Sect.]
[After discussing with your master, Wang Sheng, for a long time, you understood who that was—whom he was referring to.]
[From him, you learned that your Grand Master—his master—had accepted two disciples in his entire life while he was in the Xuantian Realm. The first one, whom he accepted tens of thousands of years ago. Later on, who knows why, was discarded from the Holy-Sword Sect and thrown into the Land of No Return or No Man's Land. From then on, his master only focused on cultivation, and despite the persuasion of many people from the Holy-Sword Sect, he didn't accept any disciple for the following years. Later, when he was about to ascend, he decided to accept a disciple to continue the legacy of Hidden Sword Peak within the Xuantian Realm. And obviously, the disciple he later accepted was none other than your current master, Wang Sheng.]
[Listening to it, you weren't surprised by the acceptance of two disciples by the same lineage. Because there is a rule that if the first disciple is rebellious, then the current peak master can accept another disciple. But before doing so, he has to break his master-disciple relationship with his first disciple and make his second disciple the future head of Hidden Sword Peak.]
[Now, you also understood that the one he was referring to as "who" is none other than the first disciple of your Grand Master, as well as the senior brother of your master, Wang Sheng, called Meng Zhen.]
[Knowing this, the first thing you did was run. After all, who knows what that person's current mindset has become after staying in the No Man's Land for thousands of years. Maybe he has extreme hatred for the Holy-Sword Sect, or has accepted his wrongdoing and wants to reach a concession.]
[Although there is a slight chance for him to have become a good person, no one wanted to gamble with their lives, and so everyone decided to leave the Xuantian Realm and head for the Upper Realm by traveling through the starry sky to get help from his master—who is in the Upper Realm.]
[Just like that, you stepped on the Immortal-Grade Flying Treasure, specifically made to travel in the starry sky, and headed for the Upper Realm.]
[Although there will be dangers during this journey, it is still better than the almost absolute death that they would face if they stayed in the Xuantian Realm.]
Outside Simulation,
"Wait… wait… wait. 1246th year of simulation? Isn't it the time when I died because of an aftermath in one of the previous simulations? So, this was the reason." Suddenly, Lin Chen remembered something, and as he remembered, he wondered—as if he understood something.
Inside Simulation,
[Suddenly, just when you were traveling within the starry sky, a huge roar resounded within your surroundings, "Goons of the Holy-Sword Sect, STOP!" Just as the words finished, a figure with a sword in hand appeared. It was none other than the senior brother your master was talking about.]
[From the way he talked, it was clear that he didn't have any good intentions by coming here—as you thought.]
[Just as he appeared, knowing that he didn't have any good intentions, the Loose Immortal Realm ancestor of the Holy-Sword Sect attacked him. But instead of gaining the upper hand, he was beaten black and blue at his hands.]
[Looking at the situation of their fellow member, two more Loose Immortals of the Holy-Sword Sect joined forces to fight against him. Soon, your master also joined this fight, but because his cultivation had only reached the Mahayana Realm, he was also not his opponent.]
[This fight destroyed countless worlds within the surroundings. No one could have anticipated that a planet had ever existed there.]
[Soon, both you and Ling Yujian joined forces with other people of the Holy-Sword Sect to fight him.]
[In these years, while you were practicing the Marrow-Cleansing Technique, your avatar didn't slack in practicing the Four Sacred Beast Body and had already condensed the Holy Bones of the Azure Dragon, which increased your strength qualitatively.]
[With you and Ling Yujian, who both had condensed the Supreme Foundation of every realm, joining forces, this fight became much easier—but it only became easier, not dominant.]
[Maybe, if you had focused on mastering your domain or something else other than focusing entirely on practicing the Marrow-Cleansing Technique, your sword would have become sharp enough to contend with his attacks, and you would never have fallen into this stalemate.]
[Just like that, countless days passed, but still, you all were fighting against him without backing down for even a second, which resulted in countless worlds within your surroundings being destroyed, and this fight also caused some damage to the Xuantian Realm.]
[After an unknown amount of time.]
[Within the deep space of the starry sky.]
[On a planet filled with space dust—which seemed to be the result of a collision between some unknowingly powerful beings. Soon, the space dust settled down, and with it, a picture cleared, in which the embarrassed figures of you, Ling Yujian, Wang Sheng, and the other three Loose Immortals were seen.]
[Looking at the scene, one thing became clear; you lost.]
[During this fight, you noticed one thing—that the wounds caused by the sword in his hand didn't heal on their own or by healing pills, and as time went by, you felt that something was eroding the parts that had been wounded by his sword. It seemed as if this thing was never a part of your body. But the good thing was that you could heal this wound with the Recovery Card, which helped you all to survive until now. The bad thing was that your Recovery Cards had come to an end, and you had no more to heal your wounds that were slowly eroding the wounded parts of your body.]
[Suddenly, Meng Zhen's figure appeared in front of you, the sword in his hand slowly reaching your neck—to cut it down.]
[You know what? During this fight—despite lacking mastery of your sword—you were his biggest competitor, and he had noticed all your movements of self-healing despite the wounds he caused, which made him wary of you. So, among all the surrounding people, he wanted to kill you the most. Because of this reason, his figure and sword appeared in front of you.]
[Looking at the sword that was, with every second, getting closer and closer to your neck, you wanted to struggle, only to find that your entire body had become numb. But despite that, you didn't give up and opened the Storage Space, attacking him with the fully charged weapons you had placed within it.]
[When Meng Zhen looked at the space that had suddenly opened above him, the determination to kill you in his eyes became stronger, and disregarding all his defenses, he attacked you.]
[Maybe this simulation is destined to end with this slash.]
