It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

The mountain lord was clad in full armor, and judging from the aura emanating from it, the entire suit of armor was actually a spiritual artifact!

"Su Chen, your escape route is blocked!"

There's no way out!

Jiang Li and Hua Jingyun took turns trying to forcefully break the formation, but the thin curtain of water was like an insurmountable barrier, and no matter what methods they used, they could not break through it.

"You guys take care of yourselves, I'll handle it!"

Su Chen could clearly sense that the mountain lord's target was only him!

Its appearance seems to be for its own sake!

The moment Su Chen took to the air, the man and the tiger clashed instantly.

The moment the battle truly began, Su Chen realized that the Mountain Lord seemed to be completely unaware of anything.

He was nothing more than a puppet whose rules of action were set for him!

Aside from the soul, which is somewhat similar to that tiger demon, nothing else seems to match.

"What exactly happened three thousand years ago: the Shushan Sword Sect, the Mountain Lord, the puppet, and the spiritual weapon?"

How did the Shu Mountain Sword Sect emerge and rise to prominence?

More than three thousand years ago, Longhu Mountain was almost universally revered.

If that unknown enemy doesn't swallow everything up, Longhu Mountain will continue to prosper according to its original development trend.

Lu Wuyai becoming a spirit of a weapon could perhaps be explained.

But if the mountain spirit has already been controlled by the other party, how could it become a spirit and guard this mansion?

The unknown mysteries seem to have multiplied.

"Didn't you try your best?"

Or is this simply how the rules are set up?

During the fight, Su Chen also discovered the problem.

Compared to a life-or-death struggle, the mountain lord was more like testing himself.

Furthermore, all of Su Chen's other methods were instantly countered, and only Gu Hongying was able to keep him going.

This place will be an excellent training ground for the disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

But for others, it might not be so wonderful.

"Jiang Li! Use Lonely Shadow! Let's go together!"

After roughly figuring out the mountain lord's attack patterns, Su Chen shouted to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, who was already prepared, rushed forward without thinking.

Even in a two-on-one situation, the mountain king was only suppressed for half an incense stick's time, but he quickly adapted and regained balance.

Even when fighting alone, neither of them was a match for the Mountain Lord!

"Hua Jingyun!"

help!

Use the techniques of the Tianzheng Sect!

With Su Chen's prior reminder and further observation, Hua Jingyun naturally understood that other techniques could not be used.

With the three of them together, the Mountain Lord was completely suppressed. Only when he finally succumbed and vanished did the water curtain barrier outside the mansion finally dissipate.

"Get everyone out of here first. If we want to get into the mansion, we probably won't be able to get past this tiger."

Take it easy. "

Chapter 141: Seclusion ends, simulation continues.

In the following days, Su Chen and his two companions would come in every day.

As Su Chen clashed with the Mountain Lord more and more times, his Lone Wild Goose Shadow skill also improved rapidly.

Not only him, but Jiang Li and Hua Jingyun also made significant improvements.

Everything went exactly as Su Chen had predicted. The Mountain Lord was less of a guardian and more of a sparring partner.

Although there was no change in his realm, his combat power has indeed improved significantly.

However, none of the three of them has yet managed to defeat the mountain king when facing him alone.

Almost all of them were dragged into the guidance battle.

In Su Chen's estimation, only he had defeated the Mountain Lord.

Only then will the gates of this mansion be able to be opened.

"Huh? You've emerged from seclusion?"

Su Chen glanced at the game as usual, only to find that the game's progress, which he had been in seclusion for a long time, had finally changed.

"You guys keep practicing, I'm going to rest for a bit!"

Su Chen greeted them and then entered the game.

He wants to use the game to see what really happened more than three thousand years ago.

[After a long period of seclusion, your cultivation level has steadily improved, and you are only one step away from achieving the Golden Core stage.]

You know in your heart that these things can't be rushed.

The moment you emerged from seclusion, your fellow disciples all came to congratulate you.

However, there was an undisguised worry in their eyes.

[Under your persistent questioning, I finally learned that during your seclusion, that mysterious figure returned with a vengeance.]

In a short period of time, they actually killed several Nascent Soul stage experts.

The joy of advancing in his cultivation level was immediately dampened considerably.

You rushed off to find your master, wanting to learn more.

However, your fellow disciples informed you that the Celestial Master has been active outside the mountain and has not yet descended.

[You contacted your master using the communication jade talisman.]

[But before you could even speak, the Celestial Master warned you not to leave the mountain for the time being.]

No matter what happens, stay on the mountain.

The Celestial Master's tone was serious, suggesting that something significant had occurred at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Unfortunately, despite your repeated questioning, the Celestial Master couldn't tell you anything.

You tried asking about the enemy, but the Celestial Master only said a few words and then said no more.

A layer of mist seems to veil your vision.

The Celestial Master could clearly explain it, but he is unwilling to tell you.

Looking back, you suddenly realize that all of this seems incredibly abnormal.

After some thought, you used jade talismans to contact Lu Wuyai and He Xingyao respectively.

For matters of great importance, there's no need to consult the Celestial Master.

[The master has placed himself under house arrest, preventing him from going down the mountain in person. Does that mean he's not allowed to ask others for advice?]

To your surprise, neither of them responded.

You then tried to reach out to the group of cultivators you had met in Tianxing City.

[They, too, received no reply.]

You're starting to have a bad feeling.

You tried asking your fellow disciples on the mountain, but they couldn't give you any answers either.

[They've all clearly come down the mountain, so why can't they even explain the most basic situation clearly?]

The doubts in your heart have become even more profound.

To achieve the perfect Golden Core, one must first achieve a state of mental perfection.

But at this moment, with your mind filled with countless thoughts, you are destined to be unable to take this step.

Your progress has stagnated.

For the next period of time, you will try every means to obtain information about the area below the mountain.

But this applies to fellow disciples and even elders.

Their memories, as if altered, make it impossible for them to clearly recount what happened at the foot of the mountain.

All of this suggests something is amiss.

Just as you were trying every means to obtain information, He Xingyao, who had been out of contact for a long time, suddenly sent you a message.

He Xingyao tells you that the mastermind behind it all has made a move against the Thousand Machines Sect.

[Everyone in the Thousand Machines Sect, except for her, was killed.]

She herself is constantly being hunted and could collapse at any moment.

Seeing this, you immediately felt a little anxious. Even setting aside your feelings for each other, He Xingyao was one of your few fellow cultivators.

The Thousand Machines Sect was completely wiped out, leaving only her. It's easy to imagine the immense pressure she's under.

[Without much thought, after receiving He Xingyao's location information, you immediately packed your things and went down the mountain.]

[But just as you were descending the mountain, you received a message from Lu Wuyai.]

Do not trust He Xingyao!

You stared at this message, completely stunned.

[You've never discussed anything about He Xingyao with the other person, yet they predicted your actions directly?]

Why would Lu Wuyai say such a thing?
