Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 273 I dare not learn from Shenzhou for fame, but I dare to ask the world about martial arts!

【Hearing this, Xie Ying smiled and looked at Xie Guan tenderly.】

【Recently, Xie Guan's name has also spread in Xie Courtyard. It is said that his chess skills are superior, and he has even surpassed Xie Yuan, the sixth young master of the courtyard. While others study hard, he listens to books leisurely. In the boring backyard, he has become the topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.】

[I see that my brother is very different from what I saw before. Whenever he talked about the young ladies and gentlemen in the courtyard, although he was sensible, he would inevitably have a look of self-pity on his face.]

【Now, he speaks eloquently, and his behavior shows the calm and gentlemanly demeanor, which makes people look at him with new eyes. 】

[If that aunt were still alive, she would definitely feel relieved to see this scene.]

[“What a great one! Whether they are generals, ministers, princes, peddlers, or even the rulers of a country, please have them all take a seat.”]

【That’s it! 】

[Sima Ting restrained his gaze and raised his teacup, then asked slowly: "So, Master Guan, which figure from the past eight thousand years do you like to have a long conversation with the most?"]

【Hearing this, Xie Ying joked, "Brother Ting, this is just the same old tune. You just tested me, and now you're testing Guandi again."】

[When Sima Ting heard this, he just smiled and said nothing, just sipping the tea in his cup.]

[You ponder for a moment, and then... you decide.]

1. Lu Chen. (Hint: It is possible that Sima Ting looks at you differently.)
2. The second teacher of the academy. (Hint: It is possible to gain Sima Ting's approval.)
3. The three masters of the academy. (Hint: It is possible to gain Sima Ting's favor.)
4. Answer randomly. (Hint: It is possible that Sima Ting has a general impression of you.)
5. Get involved in person. (0/3)

The text on the cauldron slowly froze, revealing an option for dark blue subtitles.

Yu Ke was stunned when he saw this.

Lu Chen!

Lu Chen of this life also left a great reputation in later generations and his name was recorded in the history of Kunxu Realm.

He couldn't help but think of what Lu Chen wrote when he died of old age in Zhongnan Mountain.

"From now on, the sky is high and the earth is vast, allowing me to roam freely."

Yu Ke always had a premonition in his heart.

Lu Yu, the Magician, and the Empress have all ascended, and Lu Chen clearly has the opportunity to ascend, so he will never give up easily.

Lu Chen's determination to seek the truth was very strong.

Besides!

The end of the previous life was too abrupt, there must be some unknown "secret" hidden in it!
Recalling what Chen Jingqiu once said, this world originally had three thousand middle worlds, and each middle world gave birth to three thousand small worlds.

In ancient times, there was an ascension platform connected to the lower world for people to ascend.

Since the foreign demons invaded the Tianxuan Continent through the ascension platform, the ancestors of the Suigu era used the great magical power of "Jedi Tiantong" to resolutely close the path to ascension in order to eliminate this threat.

From now on, people from the lower world can no longer ascend!
And it is said that the Patriarch Shenxiao, whose origins are a mystery, is the person who might have ascended from the lower world?
In this life, the era in which "Xie Guan" lives is thousands of years after Lu Chen's death, when spiritual energy is reviving again.

In the past when the land sank, only a dozen people could reach the innate realm. But now, demons seem to have appeared one after another, and practitioners are emerging in an endless stream and their numbers have doubled.

There are also legendary figures like Master who have lived for nearly a thousand years. However, what everyone wants is ultimately inseparable from the word "ascension"!
Yu Ke pondered for a moment but could not come up with an answer, so he could only shake his head.

Come back to your senses!
Among the five options, you have to vote for Lu Chen and choose it directly.

1. Lu Chen. (Hint: It is possible that Sima Ting looks at you differently.)
The simulation continues!

[You looked thoughtful and slowly said, "I am just a commoner from Lu Shenzhou!"]

[When Sima Ting heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he showed doubt: "Why is it a commoner, and not the Prince of Yan, the Junior Guardian, or the Emperor?"]

[You sighed slightly and said with emotion: "Perhaps, his life was too colorful, with many identities and experiences. But Zhongnan Mountain is his final destination."]

[“Some people in later generations commented that he was a wicked man with great virtue, and princes and generals said he was stupid. The emperor laughed at his descendants and said, ‘You can’t learn from Shenzhou.’”]

[“However, for thousands of years, no one has ever slandered or insulted him. When the Qingming Festival comes, every household will offer sacrifices to Lu Shenzhou.”]

[“Whether it’s taking off the Taoist robes and going down the mountain to save the world and win the respect of the world, or giving up everything and returning to the mountain.”]

[“So I said Lu Chen of Zhongnan Mountain. He has always been a commoner in Zhongnan Mountain.”]

[The solemn expression on Sima Ting's face faded away, replaced by a genuine smile.]

[“What a man, a commoner named Lu Shenzhou,”]

[His eyes no longer looked at the boy with scrutiny, but instead showed a hint of excitement.]

[“I, Sima Ting, respect this Lu Shaobao the most. I cannot stand hearing those remarks like ‘one should not seek fame and reputation by learning from Shenzhou’.”]

[“Some people, just by listening to a few storytellings or meeting some half-baked pedants, think they know everything and make arbitrary judgments.”]

[“General Sima is a bit overbearing.”]

[You laughed and said: "If everyone in the world keeps their mouths shut, the world will be in chaos. People in the future will judge right and wrong. I think that after hearing this, Lu Shaobao will just smile calmly."]

[After hearing this, Sima Ting smiled even more happily: "I'm afraid that in the ears of the young guard, it's just a joke."]

[Then, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master Guan, I wonder what classics you are reading recently?"]

[The Sima family was also a family of scholars, with poetry and books passed down from generation to generation. When he was young, he also studied in a college. ]

[After this was said, Lu Ya behind him interrupted with some resentment:]

[“Master Guan, you have not yet begun to learn!”]

[Lu Ya's words are equivalent to exposing the Xie family's scandal to the public, which is damaging the Xie family's reputation. As a young lady in the mansion, Xie Ying will definitely not let this happen.]

【However! 】

【Xie Ying did not interrupt her maid. If Xie Guan was just a bastard with no talent or virtue, calling him here would be a way to repay his mother's kindness.】

[However, Xie Guan seemed quite fond of her, and his questions and answers were in line with what "Brother Ting" wanted.]

[She doesn't mind helping this half-brother a little longer.]

Sima Ting frowned slightly and said, "What's going on?"

【Seeing this, Lu Ya gritted her teeth and angrily recounted what happened to Xie Guan after his mother passed away. After Xie Guan's mother passed away, he cried so much that he went blind due to excessive grief. To this day, the mistress of the compound has made things difficult for him, and he has not been able to start reading and learning to read.】

[Even those who knew Xie Ying would feel pity after hearing this experience.]

【"Bang--"】

[With a loud bang, the teacup in Sima Ting's hand instantly broke into several pieces, and the charcoal in the pavilion was also blown into a blaze, with the flames rising high.]

[It even affected the bamboo forest outside the pavilion, and the leaves swayed to one side.]

[The guards around heard this and all looked at this. 】【"How ridiculous!"]

[You saw this scene, your face did not change, but you were shocked inside.]

[Sima Ting's emotional changes in every word and action can actually trigger such a strong power. Is this the method of a soul cultivator or the path of martial arts? ]

[You can't help but be fascinated, full of curiosity and awe of Sima Ting's strength. ]

[Sima Ting quickly calmed down, first gave Xie Ying an apologetic smile, then slowly said: "I am sorry!"]

[“Such a prestigious family is so petty in its management. This is because Mr. Xie is not in the Xie Mansion. Otherwise, how could such a promising scholar be buried?”]

[“Mr. Xie is coming home today, so I’d like to go talk to him.”]

【Mr. Xie is Xie Hong! 】

[At this moment, his eyes fell on you and asked, "Master Guan, have you yet to step into the door of martial arts and hone your muscles?"]

[When you heard this and were about to speak, you saw your fourth sister Xie Ying slightly shaking her head.]

【You understand! 】

[“Xie Guan is a weak and lowly person, so it is not worth it for General Sima to worry about him.”]

[“Xie Guansheng lived in a humble room in a small courtyard. My brothers and sisters in other courtyards were all dressed in gorgeous embroidery and red tasseled hats, and wore brocade and jade clothes with rings and pendants. My mother treated me very well. I was content and never envied others.”]

[Your face is calm and your tone is calm: "But, I am about to reach adulthood."]

[“But you don’t know how many realms there are in the world of martial arts?”]

[“Xie Guan knows that he is not very talented and well-educated, but he still dares to ask General Sima to help him solve the puzzle in my heart.”]

[After saying this, a desire to seek the truth shone in my heart. ]

【At this time! 】

[In the sea of ​​your heart, the word “Yuan” that you found by chance in the lake suddenly sparkles with golden light. ]

[You seem to be able to sense that the two words that just disappeared in the lake have transformed into two dragons, ready to break out of the water and pounce on you with joy.]

[Your heart moved, and a chill invaded your mind. The brightness of the courtyard in your mind dimmed instantly. At the same time, the word in the lake seemed to sense something, and it shook its head and dissipated, returning to calm again.]

[You can't help but wonder, what is the connection between these words? Why do they trigger such a strong feeling in your heart? ]

[“There are two paths of cultivation in the world, one is a dead end, and the other is a way to seek the truth!”]

[Dead end road?]

【Seeking the Way? 】

This is something you have never heard of.

[The autumn wind is bleak in the pavilion, and leaves are spinning and falling in the bamboo forest. ]

[There are fish watching the lotus in the lake, and cranes leisurely picking their feathers by the lake. ]

[The teapot on the stove gurgles, steam rises, and Lu Ya skillfully pours tea for the three people, and the fragrance of tea fills the air. ]

Sima Ting sat upright like a pine tree, his eyes deep, and he spoke slowly: "The road to beheading is the road of martial arts. Martial artists, also known as dictators, can split mountains and cut rivers, form an army by themselves, and their breath of true energy is like thousands of swords. They pursue the ultimate power."

[“Soul cultivation is also a method of practicing Qi. They transform into the true self, hold the divine fire, and use their primordial spirit to illuminate the stars. With one thought, they can fly into the sky, enter the earth, and travel thousands of miles with one thought.”]

[Spiritual monk! ]

[A light flashes in your eyes.]

[Sima Ting saw this and smiled, and asked, "If you are willing, what kind of practice would you learn?"]

【You smiled, which was unusual for you, and said, “Of course I learn both!”】

[“Haha, I was like this when I was young. No matter what choice I make, I, Sima Ting, want both.”]

[However, his smile suddenly faded and he said in a deep voice: "But, do you know why I have never practiced the method of the soul until now?"]

[“Why do people say that warriors are on a dead end, and why do people say that spiritual cultivators are seeking the way?”]

Sima Ting did not keep the secret and continued: "If one can reach the pinnacle of martial arts training, it is the Xuandan realm, also known as the realm of the martial god. At this level, one's strength is enough to fly in the air, and the physical body is even more difficult to destroy."

[“However, even for a strong person of this level, his life span is only ninety years in human terms.”]

[“From ancient times to the present, no martial artist has ever been able to break through this lifespan limit. Therefore, this martial arts path is also known as a dead end by the world. The road ahead is cut off, and there is no further progress. Isn’t it cut off?”]

“Ninety years old!”

[When you heard this, you couldn't help but feel surprised. ]

[You know, ordinary long-lived elderly people can also live to this age. And a warrior, whether in terms of blood or strength, is already a deadly weapon in the world, like a walking god, far exceeding ordinary people, how come his life span is so short? ]

Sima Ting looked at the charcoal in the furnace and sighed: "You don't have to doubt it. For thousands of years, countless people have tried their best but no one has succeeded. Even a warrior at the peak of Xuandan realm has strong blood and energy like a pillar of heaven, but when the deadline comes, he will die suddenly. Most warriors may not even live to be ninety years old, but only sixty or seventy years old!"

[“Because a warrior is like the charcoal fire in this furnace. Once it is ignited, it will only burn itself out and turn into ashes.”]

[“Those who practice martial arts with themselves as a furnace can cultivate very quickly. A person with extraordinary talent only needs thirty or forty years of hard work to become the best in the world.”]

[“And do you know how many years this Yuanshen cultivator can live?”]

[You seem to have thought of something, and raise your eyes and say: "Eight hundred years?"]

[When Sima Ting heard this, he was stunned and burst into laughter.]

[“The one you are talking about is the Master, not the Divine Soul Cultivator in the world. You must know that there is only one Master in the world.”]

[“You are not practicing yet, and you don’t know what the word Master means. It’s like looking at a leopard through a tube. If you practice, you will know that there are no immortals in the world, only Masters.”]

[“If a Divine Soul cultivator cultivates to the legendary Yang God realm, he can live for 300 years on earth. If an ordinary Yuan Soul cultivator cultivates his Qi successfully, he can easily live for 100 years.”]

[Si Ma Ting saw that you really seemed to know nothing, and couldn't help but sigh, this dignified Xie family, such a family. ]

[My children don’t even know these common senses of cultivation. ]

[“This is a long way off. As for why, if soul cultivators can have such a long life, why everyone in the world wants to learn the soul method, you will understand later.”]

[He picked up the teacup, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then continued: "I am on the path of martial arts. There are nine realms in martial arts, and the first three realms are also called the three gates."]

[“These three stages are called strengthening the tendons, strengthening the bones, and strengthening the qi and blood.”]

[“The state of tendon training is the foundation of martial arts practice. Once it is achieved, the muscles will be full, the body will be swift, the skin and flesh will be as strong as iron, and the strength will be enough to lift a tripod. Not to mention lifting the stone lions at the gate of your Xie Mansion, even heavier objects will not be a problem.”]
